SUMMARY:Canning Basics
DESCRIPTION:Always wanted to learn how to can foods but aren’t sure where to start? Well Lindsey Baird of Oak & Ash Farm is here you teach you that you can\, can! \nUsing the USDA guidelines for safe canning\, Lindsey will teach you the basic rules and simple tips and tricks. Maybe you want to preserve your harvest\, or perhaps you want to have quick and easy meals in a jar ready to go. Or maybe you want to learn how to save money by preserving items you purchase in bulk. You’ll learn how\, all while controlling the ingredients and without relying on having enough space in your freezer. \nYou will leave with a simple guide on how to use both a water bath canner or pressure canner\, and the confidence to fill your pantry with safe\, home canned foods. \nThis program is funded by the Friends of the Clapp Memorial Library.

SUMMARY:A Narrative of Dwight Village in Belchertown\, Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Michael Carolan returns for the second part of his narrative history of Dwight Village in Belchertown. Known as Logg-town\, Hopetown\, Dwight’s Station and Pansy Park\, this narrowly-defined\, eight-square-mile district has been subsumed historically into the larger community. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher—the “most famous man in America”—gave his first sermon here. The hamlet was celebrated as the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln’s first biographer\, J. G. Holland. Rare aquatic flower gardens drew hundreds through Dwight’s two railroad stops. And its chapel was established after a culmination of efforts said to have been initiated by Poet Emily Dickinson’s sister-in-law. There were feuds\, accidents\, suicides\, drownings\, fires\, the millwright who outlived six wives and the portrait painter who rendered the place and its characters in colorfully detailed letters preserved to this day. \nMichael Carolan writes for The Springfield Republican and his essays appear on New England Public Radio. He taught literature and writing at Clark University for 13 years.
