The music plays on as the Agawam Cultural Council's Applause Series presents the honky tonk piano stylings of Gary Landgrenat the Agawam Senior Center on Friday, May 4, 2018 at 7:00 PM. The performance is sponsored by Stellato Brothers Landscape Contractors.
Born out of Ragtime and Jazz from the 1890s-1920s, this rip-roaring and rousing style of piano became popular after the Swing era of the 1940s. Honky Tonk includes ragtime, swing and early jazz elements all rolled into a very informal, yet lively presentation.
Landgren's interest in this music began as a teenager after some informal lessons at a local piano store, listening to records, and a lot of experimentation and improvisation. Along the way, Gary adopted many tricks on the keys so this playing would sound similar to the great roll-generated player pianos and coin-operated nickelodeons of the early 1900s. We're sure you'll be tapping your toes, clapping your hands, and singing along to old favorites such as "Beer Barrel Polka", "Ain't She Sweet", "Let Me Call You Sweetheart", and many more.
Additional information on each of the Applause Series events is available at the Agawam Cultural Council web site, www.agawamcc.org. The Agawam Cultural Council is an all-volunteer local partner of the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, and is funded, in part, by the MCC. The ACC is charged with bringing engaging, entertaining, and educational events and opportunities in the arts, humanities, and sciences, to children and adults from Agawam and the surrounding communities.

There will be a slide show presentation to learn about Gateway's Integrated Preschool Classrooms, including curriculum, hours and philosophy. Parents will be able to meet the preschool teachers and register for preschool screening and lottery.
This event is for parents who have children who will be age 3 or 4 by September 1, 2018, living in the Gateway member towns of Blandford, Chester, Huntington, Middlefield, Montgomery and Russell. Preschool programs are located at both Chester and Littleville Elementary School.

On Tuesday, May 8th, 6:00 PM in Parenzo Hall's Dever Auditorium at Westfield State University (WSU), the Dept. of Chemical and Physical Sciences and the Dept. of Environmental Science will co-host a public educational forum on "Carbon Pricing – A Key to Solving a Warming Climate."
The forum will: provide a brief overview of the current science on climate change; describe bills by State Rep. Benson & State Sen. Barrett proposing state-wide carbon fee and rebate legislation, and an omnibus bill by State Sen. Pacheco that would also institute carbon pricing; and lay out the ethical and moral dimensions for addressing a warming climate. Attendees will learn how each of these MA carbon pricing bills is economically designed to create jobs, improve the health of MA residents and fairly protect vulnerable populations and businesses while lowering state-wide carbon emissions.
The forum's panel will include: Carsten Braun, Ph.D., climate scientist, Geography & Regional Planning Dept., Westfield State University; State Rep. Jennifer Benson, lead co-sponsor of H.1726, a bill placing a price on carbon in MA; Marc Breslow, Ph.D., Dir. of Policy & Research at ClimateXChange; and Rev. Dr. Margaret Bullitt-Jonas, Missioner for Creation Care in the Episcopal Diocese of Western Mass. and Mass. Conference, United Church of Christ. The forum will be moderated by Hillary Sackett, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Economics at WSU.
The forum is organized by Voices Rising Together, a grass-roots advocacy group, and co-sponsored by CAN (Climate Action Now), ClimateXChange, Clean Energy Future Massachusetts, and The Social Justice Commission. The panel's discussion will be followed by ample time for questions. For additional information, contact Dr. Frank Giuliano at [email protected] or John Meiklejohn at [email protected] (413-348-2848).

If you like, use Oriental looking duvets, and comforters against a plain scheme to bring out the features. Regular Western patterns look great too. Some of the platform bed models extend up to the ground, so your bed skirts won't work well with hiding stuff below (good for all, solution). Then there are some box models that look just great while offering you the ease of storage, those extra linen and pillow covers, sheets and blankets you keep wondering where to place.

By The Nation
Surapong Suebwonglee, the former information and communication technology (ICT) minister, was yesterday released from prison after serving 10 months of the original one-year jail term for dereliction of duty.
On August 25 last year, the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Political Office Holders had sentenced Surapong to a one-year imprisonment. He was found guilty of dereliction of duty for authorising, while he served as the ICT minister, an amendment of a concession that allowed Shin Corp to reduce its required minimum shareholding in its satellite affiliate Shin Satellite – now renamed Thaicom – from 51 per cent to 40 per cent.
Surapong, 59, was released on Tuesday at 6pm, Corrections Department director-general Kobkiat Kasiwiwat said on Wednesday.
The former minister was released early after the agency's parole committee acknowledged his good behaviour after taking into account his status as a "first-class inmate".
Following his early release, Surapong is required to report to parole officers regularly and follow the set conditions till the completion of his full jail term on August 25, according to the Corrections Department chief.
