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.

SUMMARY:Becoming Darlene: The Story of Belchertown Patient #4952
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, January 8 at 7PM\, join us at the Clapp Memorial Library for a book talk with Ed Orzechowski. Becoming Darlene: The Story of Belchertown Patient #4952 is Orzechowski’s second account of life within the Belchertown State School following You’ll Like It Here: The Story of Donald Vitkus. After the presentation\, books will be available for purchase and signing. \n“Born in a Massachusetts mill town in 1956\, Darlene Rameau is number eight of what would become 14 children. When she is three years old\, a social worker reports that Darlene is segregated from the rest of the family in a filthy room\, treated like an animal\, and unable to walk. At age seven\, Darlene is sent to Belchertown State School\, a de-humanizing institution where she meets a sister she didn’t know she had. Darlene considers herself an “it\,” unworthy of a name. Little Girl\, Boy\, and Brains are voices in her head who help her survive. Her dream is to raise a family of her own\, but at 17 she is discharged into a world where she has no idea how to make that dream a reality.”
