By Amy Porter Correspondent HUNTINGTON – The Fanfare Brass Choir, a 10-piece brass band, will be performing a sing-along of Christmas selections at the First Congregational Church of Norwich Hill, 6 Searle Road this Sunday, Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. This will be the third year in a row that the Fanfare Brass Choir will perform at the church. “Come share the Christmas season and sing along to all your favorite Christmas songs,” said the Rev. Carol Smith, adding that concertgoers are invited to enjoy homemade cookies, punch and hot chocolate following the concert. The program alternates between brass only and popular carols, many arranged for the group by trombonist and retired UMass music professor David Sporny because, as bandleader David Neill explained last year, there are no arrangements for a 10-piece brass band for Christmas. He also said they have done many such concerts, and were impressed by the singing in Huntington. The concert, sponsored by the Huntington Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Center, is free and open to the public. The Fanfare Brass Choir will be returning this Sunday at 5 p.m. for a Christmas Sing-A-Long at the First Congregational Church in Huntington.

(Alexander Mahmoud/Simon and Schuster investment via AP) By DEAN FOSDICK Associated Press The first of the 2018 seed catalogs will be arriving soon in the mail, signaling the start of another growing season. Savvy vegetable gardeners pore over the pages while choosing plants and drafting budgets. Planning ahead provides healthier returns for what can become a costly investment. "Food gardening, like any hobby, can get as expensive as you wish, but there are many ways to have a productive garden at a reasonable cost," said Brooke Edmunds, an Extension community horticulturist with Oregon State University. "Setting a budget can be helpful," Edmunds said. "Keep in mind that many of the costs are upfront (bulk soil amendments and tools), and then smaller annual costs — items like seed and fertilizer — can even be further managed by being a smart shopper." Don't overdo it. Planting a garden too large for your needs depletes pocketbooks, and leads to food waste and unneces- sary work. Determine what you eat the most and stick to the basics. From Sweden, an Some additional tips for keeping costs down while enriching family nutrition: — Buy small. Use seeds rather than seedlings. "You'll get a lot more plants. Some (seed) packets have 100 seeds," Edmunds said. — Select vegetables with a long shelf life, or that can easily unsentimental take be preserved or dried. Potatoes, apples, onions and winter squash can be shelved safely for several months after being harvested. — Choose items that cost the most at the grocery store, like tomatoes and melons.

THE WESTFIELD NEWS WWW.THEWESTFIELDNEWS.COM FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2017 - PAGE 7 FAMILY More US kids in foster care; parental drug abuse a factor By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) — The number of children in the U.S. foster care system has increased for the fourth year in a row, with substance abuse by parents a major factor, according to new federal data released on Thursday. The annual report from the Department of Health and Human Services counted 437,500 children in foster care as of Sept. 30, 2016, up from about 427,400 a year earlier. The peak was 524,000 children in foster care in 2002. The number dropped steadily to about 397,000 in 2012 before rising again as the opioid epidemic and other forms of drug abuse began to worsen across the U.S. Health and Human Services said substance abuse was a factor in 34 percent of the 2016 cases in which a child was removed from home, up from 32 percent a year earlier. About 92,000 children were removed from home because at least one parent had a drug abuse issue. Among the states with the biggest one-year increases in their foster care population were Indiana, Georgia and West Virginia, each grap- pling with extensive substance abuse problems. Indiana reported serving 29,315 children in its foster care system in fiscal 2016, up This May 2017 photo provided by Woodard shows a selection of colorful outdoor pillows displayed on the their from 24,935 in 2015. new all-weather Lay N’ Play lounger.
