For many years Spencer-East Food Service Director Cathy with close to 1,000 pounds of fresh Brookfield Regional School District LaPrad has loaded up her truck produce from local farms. LaPrad’s trip to J&J Farms in Amherst and Czajowski Farms (for- merly Hibbards Farm) in Hadley allowed her to get the best prices possible and stay within what her budget will allow. It was also a way to mark Massachusetts Harvest For Students Week, Sept. 27 to Oct. 1. This year, parents and cafeteria staff came to East Brookfield Elementary School the evening of Sept. 27 to help cut up vegetables for the week and to peel corn on the cob, purchased from Petruzzi Farms on Main Street in East Brookfield. They were treated to fresh chocolate zucchini cake and coffee to thank them for helping.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Ever since minivans were intro- duced way back in 1984 (right about the time I finished college), I have been a fan. Even as a snot-nosed 25- year-old, single, car reviewer I was enamored and could see myself driving one. (It was a great way to get a lot of people to one place at one time.) Fast forward about 15 years or so to 2002 and minivans are slowly becoming pariahs. Late members of the Baby Boomer generation and early Generation X-ers soon learned to hate minivans, especially women who didn’t want to be caught dead in them. Even my wife who didn’t grow up in the U.S. wanted nothing to do with one because the parking lot at her school was overpopulated with them, which is why we own a Mazda5. The 2011 Honda Odyssey could be nicknamed the Overkill because it has so many features that can further divide the American family.
