SUMMARY:When Two Worlds Meet: Native Americans of Western MA
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Gail White Usher\, Wednesday\, February 27\, 2019 6:30 p.m. Westfield State University\, Scanlon Banquet Hall. Free and open to the public. \n  \nWhat life was like for the original inhabitants of Westfield\, the Woronoak tribe\, and their Eastern Woodlands’ tribes neighbors such as the Pocumtuck 350 years ago? And how did it change with the arrival of European populations? In the period 1620 to 1750\, European settlement of North America expanded rapidly and encounters with the Native populations increased in frequency and intensity. Both societies incorporated aspects of the others’ material world. The changes were most dramatic in the Eastern Woodlands’ tribes. They retained their cultures but their material world was significantly altered. This lecture explores Eastern Woodlands Native Americans during this time of interaction. It will look first at their lives just prior to contact and then examine decades of change that follow. \n  \nPresenter Gail White Usher serves as Education Coordinator at Roseland Cottage and Arnold House\, run by Historic New England\, the oldest and largest regional heritage organization in the nation.

That’s why the YMCA of Greater Westfield a leading community-based organization dedicated to improving health—wants families to understand the dangers of childhood obesity and ways to reverse course through improved eating habits and increased physical activity. \n  \nAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, the prevalence of obesity has remained stable at about 17 percent and affects about 12.7 million children and adolescents. Today\, obesity affects one in six children and one in three are overweight\, which poses greater risks for many health problems such as type 2 diabetes\, high blood pressure\, high cholesterol and some cancers. \n  \nFor years parents have heard the dangers of childhood obesity but making the necessary lifestyle changes—as a family—remain the biggest barrier to real progress.

SUMMARY:Golf Rules Changes 2019
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 23 at 10 am at EMCC “Slim’s” Lounge. There have been some changes to the rules of golf that went into effect on January 1\, 2019 that we should be aware of. Some of the rules affect our daily playing of the game of golf. The majority of these changes are either simplify everyday rulings and/or hopefully improve the pace of play. I think many of these changes are long overdue. I have always felt the rules of golf were too difficult for most players to understand. \n  \nEveryone is welcome to attend. I would encourage league presidents to attend. There are over 30 rule changes to cover. No charge to attend. This is an informal gathering to discuss the new rules of golf implemented on January 1\, 2019. I will try to make this a fun and interesting learning experience. I am sure many of you have already seen some new changes\, pin still in cup when putting for example\, while watching golf on TV. –Ted Perez\, Jr\, East Mountain Country Club\, Westfield\, MA.

SUMMARY:Watershed Wanderings Through Time and Space: Westfield River Watershed Association\, 65 years of service
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Bill Rose\, Mark Damon\, Dr. Aaron Reyes\, Dr. Brian Conz\, Wednesday\, February 13\, 2019 6:30 p.m. Dever Stage\, Parenzo Hall\, Westfield State University. Free and open to the public. \n  \nA panel of Westfield River Watershed Association (WRWA) members will offer perspectives on the watershed and the association committed to its stewardship. Bill Rose will speak about his experience as an avid local recreational fly fisherman\, addressing the type of fishing that takes place in the Westfield river\, the changing conditions of the river and how this affects fishing\, and WRWA activities that support recreational fishing such as salmon stocking\, fly fishing clinics\, and the yearly fish ladder open house. \n  \nMark Damon will discuss WRWA activities including river cleanups and the sampling of invertebrates in the river; how the diversity of invertebrates can be used as an indicator of overall ecosystem health; and a principle in riverine ecology called the River Continuum Concept that considers the health of the watershed. Dr. Aaron O. Reyes will describe the geology through which the Westfield River flows and how the geology affects natural water chemistry\, followed by a short description of results from a WSU student internship program. Dr. Brian Conz will discuss the development and evolution of the Westfield River terraces\, which are found in the Westfield River valley west of the city center. The terraces were cut from deltaic sediments deposited into an arm of glacial Lake Hitchcock some 13\,000 years ago. The terraces were documented in the early 1900s by the famous physical geographer William Morris Davis and reveal a great deal about the evolution of our local landscape.
