Getting Cold Outside
GETTING C-C-COLD OUTSIDE? EXPLORE WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS’ GREAT INDOORS! With the holidays come and gone, real Yankee-style winter typically gets a grip on this part of New England. And for the hardy outdoor types, we’ve got plenty of chill-weather sports and activities to offer. But for those who prefer snuggling in to bundling up, there’s still lots to see and do, in places where you won’t need mittens and boots. If knowledge and fun warm your hearts (and minds!) rejoice in the fact that our region is truly rich in excellent museums, and best of all, they’re not the stuffy keep-quiet-don’t-touch type. Virtually all feature hands-on experiences for all ages, and participation is encouraged. One of the coolest “exploratoriums” we offer isn’t even in Western Massachusetts, though it’s just minutes over the Connecticut state line. That’s the fabulous New England Air Museum, located in Windsor Locks. Their collection contains over 100 aircraft ranging from early flying machines to supersonic jets. Located in the heart of downtown Springfield, Massachusetts, the Springfield Museums offers access to four world-class museums and (in warmer weather, of course) the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden, all under a single admission. At the Springfield Science Museum the dinosaur exhibit spans two galleries and includes real dinosaur tracks and fossils, a life-sized Tyrannosaurus rex model, a replica of a stegosaurus skeleton, a surround-sound Jurassic Theater experience, and more. The Lyman and Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History is known for its local history research facilities, its comprehensive program of changing exhibitions, its diverse educational offerings, and its wide ranging collections illuminating the history of the Connecticut River Valley.The Indian Motocycle Collection is the largest collection of Indian cycles and memorabilia in the world and the Firearms Collection includes more than 1600 firearms, with the largest collection of Smith & Wesson guns in the world. -
5A Few Bold Institutions
THE FIVE COLLEGE CONSORTIUM A few bold 5institutions In 1965, the Pioneer Valley’s four colleges, 1. Amherst College, 2. Mount Holyoke College, 3. Smith College, and the 4. University of Massachusetts Amherst, were experimenting with innovative ideas in higher education. One of those ideas was 5. Hampshire College, a radical student-centered model. The big idea, though, was sharing resources through an inter-college consortium. So what does that mean now? Your resources are multiplied by five. You can take classes, borrow books, play club sports, eat food, join clubs, and attend events at the other four campuses. You’ll make friends all across the Pioneer Valley. And for a college where students create their own programs of study, this is especially awesome. 3 WHO WE ARE The (really, really) 4,600+ big picture cross registrations for classes this year 30,000 undergraduate students Hampshire College Amherst College Mount Holyoke College foreign- 2,200+ Smith College 4 language faculty members UMass Amherst Five College majors: 70+ offerings Architectural Studies 5 Astronomy campuses Dance Film Studies 900+ student groups 9 million volumes within the Five College Library System 6 average number of 75+ courses Hampshire 17 intercollegiate students take in the certificate programs sports teams consortium over their four years 4 5 In addition to promoting each institution’s majors and programs, Five Colleges, Inc. sponsors learning centers, collaborative programs, additional certifications, and accelerated master’s programs.

The Board of Trustees This year is marked by the termination of the chairmanship of Robert G. Dodge who has for twenty-four years been a mem- ber of the Board and for seventeen years its chairman. We have had many occasions on which to try to express the appreciation of the College for Mr. Dodge's magnificent service. All those efforts are inadequate to express the indebtedness we feel for the clarity of his vision, the soundness of his judgment, the keenness of his insight, and the strength of his kindness and generosity. -
Scope of Services (Adobe PDF)
Attachment A Scope of Services Sawmill River Implementation Project: An Ecosystem Approach to Restoration Project # 10-08/319 Introduction The Sawmill River subwatershed encompasses 32 square miles in the western Massachusetts towns of Montague, Shutesbury, Leverett and Wendell. From its headwaters above Lake Wyola in Shutesbury, the river flows westerly fourteen miles to its confluence with the Connecticut River in Montague. Forested and steep terrain in the upper reaches of the watershed accounts for approximately 85% of the total watershed area. Over the past thirty years, towns in the Sawmill River watershed have been plagued by numerous river-related problems. Flooding from storms and seasonal high water flows has damaged roads, farmland and other private property. Sediment has accumulated under bridges, obstructing flow and threatening bridge safety. Water quality, fisheries and wildlife habitat have been adversely impacted by sediment load transport and bank scouring. Watershed communities have attempted to apply "quick fixes" to these problems. Numerous stream bank stabilization and dredging projects were undertaken to address catastrophic damage to roads, bridges and agricultural areas. While these emergency responses were considered necessary at the time, they did not constitute a long-term solution; over time, local officials have noticed a dramatic increase in damages from flooding and storms. Bank erosion along the Sawmill River is accelerating, contributing to more substantial sediment loads, which in turn further impacts ecosystem health and public safety. Each time towns and residents have attempted to fix one problem, other problems emerged. It became clear that a dependable holistic or ecosystem approach must be found in order to successfully address long-standing problems in this watershed. -

Her intriguing biography and the complexity of her poems have fostered personal and intellectual obsessions among readers that are far more pronounced for Dickinson than for any other American poet. -
