There’s already 100,000 units that have either been built, are under construction or in the pipeline,” Driscoll said, adding that the administration is leveraging state land, looking into office building to housing conversions and putting resources into play to help first-time homebuyers with issues such as down payments.

tion is passed. On the issue of affordable housing, Driscoll said the crisis isn’t new, and now also affects the retention of young people and workforce talent in the Bay State. “You know, it’s the number one challenge we have in my mind is not having built enough housing for the last 30 years, and so the housing that we do have now is very costly,” Driscoll said. “Right now, the average age of a first-time home buyer in Massachusetts is 40 years old. That’s the highest it’s ever been.” She said the state needs 220,000 new housing units by 2035 to make housing more af-

EAST LONGMEADOW — On the latest episode of “So That Reminds Me” hosts Ryan Feyre and Dennis Hackett sat down with Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll to discuss a wide range of topics, from the proposed two-month gas tax holiday to the new courthouse in Springfield and much more. Driscoll made a stop at The Reminder’s podcast studio following a whirlwind visit to The Big E to celebrate Massachusetts Day on Sept. 24. Asked about the recent news that the Healey administration was proposing a two-month gas tax holiday, Driscoll said that move to help Massachusetts residents cope with rising costs had been in the works for several weeks. “We are being harmed by higher grocery prices, higher gas prices. Many of these things are federal policies tied to the conflict in the Middle East. Certainly, inflation is harming a lot of people in a meaningful way. We thought this was a targeted, responsible way to try and give relief to people,” Driscoll said. “We have some surplus revenues in the fair share, and that means it’s not going to harm existing transportation projects or infrastructure needs that we have and put a little more money back in people’s pockets at a time we’re heading into a winter heating season that’s probably going to be more expensive.” Though the gas tax is actually applied to wholesalers, Driscoll

St. John’s Episcopal to celebrate bicentennial Oct. 3-4 By Trent Levakis
tlevakis@thereminder.com
NORTHAMPTON — St. John’s Episcopal Church of Northampton will welcome a weekend celebration of its bicentennial and invite Northampton and state leaders to honor the church’s 200-year legacy. The celebration will take place at the church on the weekend of Oct. 3-4. On Saturday, the church, located at 48 Elm St., will host an open house beginning at 3 p.m., which will be followed by remarks at 5 p.m. from several dignitaries, including Northampton Mayor Gina-Louise Sciarra, state Rep. Lindsay Sabadosa, Manna Community Kitchen Executive Director Niki Lankowski and Bishop Miguelina Howell of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Mass. On Sunday, a special bicentennial church service will take place at 10 a.m., featuring a sermon from special guest Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows of the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis, the first Black woman elected diocesan bishop in the Episcopal Church and a Smith College alumna. The Rev. Anna Woofenden, rector of St. John’s, will preside at all events over the weekend.

She said the administration has also worked with local governments to try and streamline permitting to get housing built faster. Addressing the concerns about the new Springfield courthouse, Driscoll said the age and health issues at the current Roderick L. Ireland courthouse have prompted an expedited replacement process that utilized a public-private partnership.
“We continue forward in faithfully following Christ by being curious and asking the question: What does it mean to faithfully love our neighbor in this generation? We are committed to reimagining what it means to be church as a place of restorative justice, real healing and radical welcome,” Woofenden told Reminder Publishing of the milestone. “St. John’s is a beautiful ecosystem, committed to following in Jesus’ way of Love. It’s an honor to be the priest of this community at this time, as we look back and look forward.” “Two hundred years is not only a milestone; it’s also an achievement,” said Kathy Whittemore, a member of St. John’s senior leadership team. “The church has really been a pivotal part of helping our neighbors in need in Northampton and acting as a place of worship where people can feel welcomed, healed and rejuvenated.” St. John’s began as an Episcopal group meeting at Northampton City Hall in 1826. In 1829, the group founded a small church on Bridge Street and, as the congregation grew, built a new church in 1893 at its present location at 48 Elm St. next to Smith College. Ecclesiastical architect Robert W. Gibson designed the histor-
ic Romanesque Revival church. George Bliss, a New York banker and Northampton native, funded the project. Before Helen Hills Chapel opened, St. John’s served as the worship home for generations of Smith students. “As we look back on our history, we are guided by the words carved over our sanctuary doors, ‘Given to Hospitality,’” said Woofenden. “These words have guided us through the generations to welcome Smith students who need a place to call home, to be the space for feeding programs and community support agencies to be housed, and to stand firm on our faith commitment that all people are beloved children of God and worthy of dignity, welcome and care.” Over the last four decades, St. John’s has launched several Northampton organizations, including Manna Community Kitchen, the Northampton Survival Center and most recently the Trinity Room emergency freeze overflow shelter. In 2018, St. John’s undertook a significant building project to expand its capacity to serve the community, adding a commercial kitchen, elevator, showers and laundry facilities to support Manna and its guests.
“We worked with local officials. We worked with stakeholders in the court system. You know, the courts are really sort of the client here in terms of meeting their needs,” Driscoll said. “We went through a fair process. We had proposals that came in. A selection committee, which included both court personnel and personnel from Western Mass., reviewed all of the proposals, recommended the one that has been selected, not only because it met their needs and there were criteria built into the RFP, location, proximity, things like that, but also
because it had to be something that we looked at resources too.” Not only was the proposal chosen the most affordable of those submitted, Driscoll said it best met the criteria set by the selection committee. “The other proposals are much, much higher. I mean, hundreds of millions of dollars separating other proposals and this one,” Driscoll said, “It was the highest ranked out of the selection committee, and we’re excited to make an investment.” Driscoll added that the location will bring a much-need-

Manna Community Kitchen is a nonprofit in Northampton that has served meals and built community for 40 years. Manna provides a hot, nutritious lunch five days a week to anyone who needs one, along with a welcoming
space where guests can access showers, laundry, mail resources and connections to other services. Lankowski told Reminder Publishing that Manna’s work is
ed investment to that section of Springfield and provide jobs for local labor. “There’s going to be other ways to invest in this building and build resources and make sure Springfield and Greater Springfield benefit from it,” Driscoll said. “So, we’re excited to see it move forward.” On the issue of data centers, Driscoll acknowledged that Massachusetts is an innovation economy but stressed that supporting that economy must be done without harming the quality of life in, and natural resources of, the state. “It’s got to be done the right way, and we’ve seen a lot of examples of data centers done the wrong way, particularly outside of Massachusetts,” Driscoll stated. She said Massachusetts isn’t anti-data centers but acknowledged that any centers built here must work for the surrounding communities. “It’s got to not harm our electricity needs and harm our water and our infrastructure that’s here,” Driscoll said. “And I think there’s ways to do that, sited in the right place, working with communities.” “But it’s got to be done right,” Driscoll continued. “And we’re not going to allow, you know the innovation economy and the tech economy to override what we know are important values in all of our communities, and the best way to do that is to put that out there very clearly. This is our bill of rights for data centers. Here’s what you got to do if you want to build a data center here.” Education funding, which is closely tied to issues such as the innovation economy, is another area where Driscoll said the administration is working on creating more support. Acknowledging that many communities have been looking at Proposition 2 ½ overrides to fund critical education expenses now and in the future, Driscoll said the Healey administration has been looking for ways such as the recently expired Student Opportunity Act to infuse more funding into local education. “We’re working hard as we think about a new formula opportunity coming forward and bringing more voices around the table, specifically for schools,” Driscoll said. “But in the meantime, we’ve proposed $100 million in additional resources for communities. Again, coming out of fair share, some additional dollars we have collected beyond benchmarks that could provide some immediate relief, has to be spent on public education, that could account for 24% increases in health insurance or wage increases that communities have to also contend with at a time that
they’re seeing the price of everything they’re buying going up.” “So we want to be a steady and good partner to our municipalities,” Driscoll continued. Addressing the SNAP and health insurance cuts enacted under the Trump Administration’s Big Beautiful Bill, Driscoll said Massachusetts is doing what it can to fill the gap in funding within the governor’s proposed supplemental budget bill. She said the supplemental budget will restore some funding trimmed by the Legislature during the earlier budget process, providing monies to help support food and health insurance programs, and hire more case workers. “The federal government has changed a lot of these rules, and frankly, I think they’re designed to make sure people do not use these benefits to make it harder to access whether it’s SNAP benefits or health care,” Driscoll said. “We will see the full impact of the trillion dollars the Trump administration has taken out of health care as the next budget is prepared, and it’s really going to be harmful.” On the issue of government oversight, Driscoll said she and Healey also support the audit of the legislature and more transparency in government. “I mean, the governor and I both have said we voted for the audit. We think the audit should happen. We’re audited all the time,” Driscoll said, adding that in her 17 years as mayor of Salem, she was audited all the time. “Again, as a local official, I lived under the open meeting and public records law. Those are good pieces of both transparency and opportunity for people to know what’s happening in the government that they support. So, we’re supportive on both counts.” With the Nov. 3 election less than two months away, Driscoll closed by expressing thanks for the trust the electorate of Massachusetts has put in her and Healey to guide the state for the past three and a half years. “We’re excited to continue to do the work to support a strong and healthy Massachusetts, and that means you’ve got to have a strong economy,” Driscoll said. “We’re pro-growth. We want to continue to see investments here, and we’ve got to make sure we’re thinking about ways we can support a strong safety net. That’s the way I think Massachusetts has always led, going back to 250 years ago, and started the start of this country.” To hear the full episode, visit thereminder.com/our-podcast or search for “So that Reminds Me” on your favorite podcasting platform.

Northampton community TV close to new location By Ryan Feyre
rfeyre@thereminder.com
NORTHAMPTON — After a decade working out of the high school, Northampton Open Media is on the cusp of securing a new 10-year lease with the city to operate out of James House Community Center on 42 Gothic St. According to an order presented by Mayor Gina-Louise Sciarra at the Sept. 17 City Council meeting, the council would need to authorize the lease agreement, which states that the community television station would operate its production offices and studios out of “Lease Area 3” inside the building. The James House also houses The Literacy Project, which provides basic education programs for adults, and the Center for New Americans. “[The new lease] will help enable them to continue to provide the very excellent local public educational and governmental PEG [public, educational and governmental] access programming that we rely on here in Northampton,” Sciarra said of the lease agreement with NOM. “We’re really excited about this plan.” Aside from offering multi-

grounded in a simple idea that everyone deserves good food, dignity and a place where they are welcomed and treated with care. “Manna’s work would not be possible if it were not for the radical generosity of St. John’s Church. Manna’s meals and Community Center bring up to 100 people through the doors on an average day, many of them with complex needs as they experience homelessness, mental health challenges and food in-
media education, training and equipment, NOM offers three public television channels and posts recorded government meetings on its accompanying YouTube channel. NOM Executive Director Al Williams said he was “super proud” of the “amazing work” NOM accomplished at the high school the last decade. As someone who’s visited various community media centers across the country, he shared that NOM’s school program is “one of the best in the country.” “We’re only really comfortable with this [new lease] because we know we’re not abandoning that program in any way our support of it … in fact, we’re gonna increase it,” Williams said. “We’re visualizing ways where we can continue to build out the program in the school.” Williams highlighted the importance of maintaining a space with the city, especially as funding for community access television becomes sparse. He said that NOM, which has a public-facing space on 33 Hawley St., is facing a lot of “shifting sands” in its future. Speaking in front of the council, Williams commended the James House for its accessibility
and an additional five to seven parking spaces for public use. “Having a downtown location with parking on bus lines where people can easily get to, it’s a better fit for us,” Williams said. Aside from a couple of questions, very few councilors spoke on the topic. City Councilor Meg Robbins wondered whether the new arrangement would still meet the organization’s climate control needs, to which Williams said a lot of that equipment will stay at the high school. “All of our climate needs will be taken care of,” Williams said. While discussing this new lease, Ward 6 City Councilor Chris Stratton lauded NOM for its record-keeping of Northampton meetings across the years on its YouTube page. That said, federal laws have made it difficult for community access television to exist, which is why Williams said NOM is looking at state bills that would tax streaming services to generate new sources of revenue. “There’s a federal law that mandates that it’s only television revenues that apply to the equation that the city negotiates with the cable provider over public right of way that generates revenue that supports our existence,”
Williams said. “And so, we’re operating on a number of different fronts to try to keep ourselves sustainable.” Williams said NOM will host a fundraiser board game festival
from Nov. 6-8 at 33 Hawley St. to help them raise money. The council took no action on the lease agreement with the city, as it plans to vote on it officially during its Oct. 1 meeting.
security,” Lankowski said. “St. John’s hospitality enables Manna to provide food, respite, access to medical care, essential supplies, showers, laundry and, most importantly, a place to belong.” Whittemore said that as an incubator for community organizations, St. John’s long and tangible commitment to social justice is how the church follows Christ’s call to “love our neighbor.” Whittemore added that through the church’s involvement in the Nourishing Beloved Community, a collaborative interfaith initiative that brings together local congregations and community
members for mutual support, St. John’s bicentennial celebration is also a celebration for the community at large. “The future is ecumenical, people working together to help the community,” Whittemore said. “We’re part of a faith community here that does a lot for the Northampton area. Some of which is seen and some of which is unseen, and I think people are not aware of just how much the churches are doing for our neighbors in need right now.” That vision has brought together the congregation’s historic Episcopal commitment to respect
the dignity of every human being, Whittemore added. “While our bicentennial is a celebration of our history, it is also an invitation to imagine the next 200 years,” said Woofenden. “We are being faithful to the way of love when we open our doors, listen to the community and respond to what people need. That is what radical welcome means to us.” Whittemore added that the church plans to grow and attract younger people and said that in a world filled with divisiveness and feelings of uncertainty, many are seeking refuge in faith.
“People look for meaning and solace, and perhaps tradition that’s been there all along, and one of those places people are looking for those things is St. John’s,” Whittemore said. “The public is welcome to the occasion. They’ll learn a lot about the history of the church but also see a very authentic, vibrant community that perhaps they’d like to be a part of.” For more information on the upcoming bicentennial celebration or to learn more about St. John’s Episcopal Church of Northampton, visit stjohnsnorthampton.org.

City Council approves plans for Town Lodging House By Tina Lesniak Correspondent
EASTHAMPTON — Despite calls to pause the process at its Sept. 16 meeting, the Easthampton City Council voted unanimously to support the purchase and reconstruction of the Town Lodging House and property at 75 Oliver St. Councilor James “JP” Kwiecenski, chair of the Property Committee, spoke at length about the long process and open nature of the pathway to a viable future for the triple deed-restricted property. Because of the property’s affordable housing, historic preservation and agricultural preservation restrictions on it,
finding a new owner has been a difficult process, according to councilors. At its last meeting, the Property Committee unanimously voted to support Renewal Initiatives taking ownership of the property and renovating it into veterans housing. Kwiecenski noted that since the council had already voted to deem the property surplus and to dispose of it in May, all of the discussion about who would purchase it has been a courtesy and not something required. Ultimately, the decision about who takes over the property is up to Mayor Salem Derby. Although Kwiecenski called this “the most transparent pro-
cess we have ever seen,” several residents spoke of just finding out about the potential sale and the effect that the sale would have on the Chicoine family, which has farmed several acres of the land for many years. Elodie Chicoine spoke, asking the council to pause and not make a final decision at the meeting. She had submitted a proposal for buying the property, but Property Committee members noted that the proposal from Renewal Initiatives was much more thorough and met all the criteria it had set for the proposals. Councilor and committee member Thomas Peaker added that the city “can’t just hand over the property to the Chi-
coines. We have to go through the process.” Other residents criticized the Property Committee meeting, saying it was not accessible and had significant technical issues. Resident Cathy Wauczinski also raised questions about whether members of the Property Committee had been working with Renewal Initiatives, adding, “This was not an open process.” City Council President Koni Denham said that she would look into the issues of accessibility at the Property Committee meeting, but she would not let it hold up the process of moving forward with the Town Lodging House property. She also said that she held out hope
that all those concerned could “find a way to work together.” The City Council’s decision comes almost a month after the Property Committee interviewed Renewal Initiatives and Living Meadow Farms at its Aug. 26 meeting. The 54-acre Town Lodging property, built in 1890, was used for affordable housing until it was vacated in April 2022. Since then, the house has fallen into disrepair. According to previous studies, nearly $1.5 million in renovations is needed to bring it up to code and function again. Reminder Publishing will have more on the Renewal Initiatives proposal in a future edition.

HATFIELD
NORTHAMPTON — The Paradise City Arts Fall Festival returns from Oct. 9-11 at the Three County Fairgrounds in Northampton, yet again making the Pioneer Valley the epicenter of craft, creativity and community. More than an art show, the Paradise City Arts Fall Festival has become famous and beloved in the region for its vibrant, multi-sensory experience brimming with stories to share. The weekend, taking place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Indigenous People’s Day weekend, brings together 200 artists and makers from across the country, alongside live demonstrations, hands-on activities and a selection of local food and drink. Festival Show Director Mariah Swanson told Reminder Publishing that the event always serves as a nice reminder of the support the organization has from the community and the artists who come to help make the show possible. “It’s very gratifying to have our artists who have done the show in the past continue to come back because it is so impactful on the revenue that they make throughout the year,” Swanson said. Inside the three airy, high-ceiling buildings, artists are not only there to showcase and sell their work, but some will also provide demonstrations of their crafts live, showing up close the details of hand-made works or the dynamic energy of the packed art fair. The juried showcase features 200 world-class artists and makers, each bringing something sin-

It’s really exciting to see this young blood coming in and investing in us because they’re confident that we invest back in them.” One of the festival’s most popular highlights also returns through the live maker demonstrations, happening all throughout the weekend. Attendees can watch artists transform raw materials into finished works right before their eyes in a rare, upclose look at process and craftsmanship that visitors return for year after year. Whether you’re a serious collector or simply looking for something one-of-a-kind, this is a rare chance to meet the makers behind the work, hear their stories and bring home a piece of the weekend. “The artists demonstrations have been something that we’ve been more involved with scheduling out because we’ve had such a strong positive reaction to and feedback from,” Swanson explained. “This is a great way to make the artists more accessible. It opens the conversation. People can sit and have a drink while they’re watching the technique and the piece unfold in front of their eyes instead of just seeing

CHD bringing primary care offerings to three locations By Trent Levakis
tlevakis@thereminder.com
In an effort to reduce the deficit in primary care providers, the Center for Human Development has expanded services at three of its outpatient behavioral health clinics in Western Massachusetts. CHD Primary Care is the new service line at CHD’s outpatient behavioral health clinics in Easthampton, West Springfield and Orange. The program will integrate medical care, nursing case management and behavioral health services under one umbrella. From preventative visits and routine checkups to managing chronic conditions, CHD said the expansion aims to make it easier for people to get the personalized, ongoing care they need close to home without waiting. “Access to primary care in Massachusetts has been a challenge for a lot of people and families for a long time, in large part because the system in place for training and incentivizing providers has not given appropriate recognition to the importance of primary care,” CHD Vice President of Community Engagement Ben Craft told Reminder Publishing. “In the case of CHD, we were involved in many other facets of the lives of the people we support — behavioral health, housing and shelter, access to opportunity — and yet regular access to primary care was a recurring theme. We’re trying to fill that deficit of services across demographic boundaries. You don’t need to be an existing CHD client to get primary care services.” Services through CHD Primary Care will include: • Minor illnesses such as coughs, cold, flu, ear and eye pain, sore throat, rash • Minor injuries, including burns, sprains, bumps and bruises • Chronic disease management, including asthma, diabetes,
COPD and high blood pressure • Diagnostic services: on-site rapid testing and orders for offsite lab and radiology available • Medication refills • Referrals to specialists, as well as bridge treatments • Convenient access to behavioral healthcare at CHD Dr. Chad McDonald the CHD chief of medicine who has been seeing patients at the Park Street Primary Care Clinic in West Springfield, explained that housing primary care and behavioral health services in one setting supports a team-based approach to care delivery and treats the whole person, looking at both physical and mental needs, rather than separating both types of care into two different systems. McDonald said this allows medical and behavioral health providers to collaborate easily in the same location. “If I’m seeing a patient for diabetes, and I see what may be a mental health issue, I can get them an appointment with a mental health clinician, who I can immediately consult with, so a smaller issue can get taken care of before it becomes a big issue,” McDonald added. On the flip side, someone with a psychiatric or mental health condition might come to see a CHD behavioral health clinician or psychiatrist but have a medical issue that has never been addressed. That is the basis for CHD’s reverse-integration model, the organization said. Traditionally, integrating primary care and behavioral health services invites behavioral health clinicians into primary care practice, but CHD is doing a reverse integration in that it has brought the primary care practice fully into three behavioral health clinics, the organization added. “A standard primary care office doesn’t have all the tools that CHD has in its toolbox,” said McDonald, a family physician and

an addiction medicine specialist. “This is important because our mental health and physical health are very intimately connected. If you’re ignoring one, then the other is likely going to struggle too, and several studies have shown that patients with psychiatric illness live 10 to 20 years less than patients who don’t struggle with those ailments.” McDonald said his board certification in addiction medicine is particularly useful in increasing healthcare access to the population he serves.

“If you’re not taking care of your mental health, and you have a major medical problem, you’re going to ignore those physical health concerns — and when you add in substance use, that further complicates things,” McDonald said. “With many people, there are all three problems — medical, psychological, and social service needs — that need attention, and CHD is in a position to treat all three.” CHD Chief of Psychiatry Dr. Ryan Alvares agreed with McDonald’s points, adding that when mental illness and addiction are co-occurring, they tend to take over. When that happens, a patient tends to make physical health less of a priority. Alvares added he is enthusiastic about providing whole-person care to patients. “I feel great about telling them they don’t have to wait a year to see someone, and we’re all going to be able to work together. It’s a huge benefit,” Alvares said. Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Sarah Moquin, who works at CHD’s Easthampton Outpatient Clinic, shared excitement to be part of the innovative reverse-integrated primary care approach, especially because the shortage of primary care physicians in the area is prompting people to visit urgent care and hospital emergency rooms for their medical needs too often. Specifically, Moquin recalled
a CHD patient in his late 40s who hadn’t been to a primary care provider in 20 years. “He only came to us because he recently had a heart attack,” Moquin said. “It turned out he also had diabetes, high cholesterol and occluded coronary arteries. In my career, I’ve worked in urgent care, I’ve worked in the ER, and I see how folks overutilize these services when they should be seeing a primary care physician, but they don’t have one. So, anything we can do to overcome barriers to accessing primary care is essential in maintaining people’s best health.” Craft added that from CHD’s perspective, medical and behavioral health needs directly affect each other. “When your body is healthy, your mental state is better, and when you’re mentally healthy and at peace, you’re much more likely to do the kind of preventive work that is most effective at sustaining physical health,” Craft said. “Our approach gives just as much focus to the behavioral as the physical, which we think is appropriate. Accessing both services in one place is more efficient care that’s better for the patient, and we think it’s a model that will grow locally and nationally.” For more information about CHD programs, services and more, call 1-844-CHD-HELP or visit chd.org.

HOLYOKE — October’s arrival means “spooky season” is here, and the Wistariahurst Museum is hosting a bevy of events to celebrate this festive time of year. The museum invites guests to 238 Cabot St. to learn stories about the home and its history, embark on cemetery tours and paranormal investigations and indulge in a sensory-friendly trickor-treat event throughout October. Wistariahurst Museum Director Megan Seiler highlighted how the schedule includes events for everyone. “Wistariahurst has something for everyone and all ages and you get a little bit of history with your spooky,” Seiler stated. “It’s a really good time to explore the museum or explore the cemetery with some really fun guides, and it has become a tradition for a lot of people because there’s always maybe a new character or somebody who can bring something new to a role. You can be as scared or not as scared as you’d like.” Tickets for events can be found at the museum’s Eventbrite at tinyurl.com/3yt852fc. Any event that requires a ticket is $18 for general admission or $15 for museum members. All proceeds will go back to the museum to support its programs. On Thursday, Oct. 1, the museum will begin its spooky season with a haunting exhibit about death in the Victorian era. Guests
will notice historic items related to mourning and learn about common mourning customs in the late 1800s. The opening reception for Memento Mori will be held on Oct. 1 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, and the exhibit will be on display during Wistariahurst’s open hours: Mondays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Tuesdays from 4:306:30 p.m. through Nov. 3. On Saturday, Oct. 10, Wistariahurst volunteers will lead guests through the Forestdale Cemetery to channel the spirits of Holyoke’s ancestors. Established in 1860, the cemetery offers a beautiful landscape and functions as the resting place of many of Holyoke’s founding families, politicians and other notables who shaped the city, according to the museum. Tours last for 45 minutes to one hour and will begin at 3 p.m. and 3:20 p.m. Times may be added if the tour sells out. On Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 6:30 p.m. or 8:30 p.m., guests will witness the supernatural side of Wistariahurst by exploring the halls of the home by candlelight. During the tour, guests will hear stories about the Skinner family, the tragedy that moved their home and business to Holyoke, and other tales of the mansion’s history. The guided tour will include standing and walking between the first and second floors using the grand staircase in dim lighting.

EMTL brings multimedia performance to Bombyx Center By Trent Levakis
tlevakis@thereminder.com
NORTHAMPTON — Bombyx Center for the Arts & Equity will host Astronomy Day on Saturday, Oct. 3, headlined by Earth Music Theater Live and their unique and celestial performance bringing together live music, astronaut imagery of Earth from the International Space Station, and real human stories from space. Earth Music Theater Live is an ensemble featuring world-class musicians who weave together genre-straddling music and immersive soundscapes that evolve in real time with astronaut imagery. It is a concept experience that blurs the boundaries between live performance, film and science communication, inspiring audiences to see our planet through new eyes. The pilot behind EMTL and this immersive multimedia performance is Northampton-based composer and guitarist Steve Thomas. “I’m piloting a rocket ship,” Thomas said of the performance. Using a Microcosm sonic processor made by Hologram Electronics of Nashville, also known as his “wacky box”, Thomas focuses on creating different textures including some elements from the original Windows on Earth soundtrack. Commissioned for that work 18 years ago by TERC, a nonprofit STEM education organization, the soundtrack that would go on to accompany the 2008 Richard Garriott mission to the ISS. Evolving and featuring an element of improvisation with each live performance, Thomas uses guitarscapes, an evolving collection of ambient guitar works. Listening to input, his wacky box calculates, rearranges and reinterprets creating real-time harmony and spontaneous movement. Add in the folktales and fu-

sion, an aesthetic Thomas has been working on, the two styles combine and are the contemporary forms of music that are the backbone of the show, bringing a great sense of wonder along with the outer space visuals. “They work really well with this presentation, these visuals. They just flow and are the right kind of material as it turns out for the show,” Thomas said. “When I’m playing the wacky box, things move around in the performance. We talk about space, asteroids, satellites, things flying around, so there is this movement that is inherent in the sound that I’m trying to create with the guitar that is supportive of the visuals. And then you have this other aspect of these humans piloting the ship with me.” Under Thomas’ direction, the performance features a standout ensemble of Valley musicians including Chris Cheek on alto saxophone, Claire Arenius on drums and percussion, Josh Metz on acoustic bass, and multi-instrumentalist Carl Clements on
bansuri flute and soprano saxophone. Together, they seamlessly interweave live performance with awe-inspiring astronaut imagery to create the immersive experience that celebrates the beauty, fragility, and interconnectedness of our shared home planet Earth. Thomas explained that, like scoring a movie, there are different points throughout the hourlong performance that are consistent through all shows, but with EMTL, the performance leaves many windows to experiment and improvise as audiences take in the stunning visuals. “Whenever you’re in front of 400 people or 50 people, depending on the day and how caffeinated you are, you might count things off a little quicker, so that means relevant to the video, it’s landing differently. It’s a different interaction,” Thomas said. “People will come up after and say ‘oh that was amazing, the sax player doing that riff right when that satellite came across,’ and I’m like yeah, that’s the first time for me too.”

Leading up to the evening show will be free family activities inside Bombyx from 3-5:30 p.m. that include activities such as space arts and crafts, a raffle from A2Z Science and Learning Toy Store, and more. A scratchbuilt scale model of the International Space Station will also be on display, giving audiences an up-close look at the iconic orbiting laboratory from which the stunning images featured in the performance were captured. A special introduction to the EMTL performance at 7 p.m. will come from astrophysicist Dr. Salman Hameed, host of the weekly Mr. Universe science segment on NEPM’s The Fabulous 413. Hameed’s remarks will provide an engaging scientific perspective that complements EMTL’s artistic exploration of Earth from space. Part of the multimedia epic also includes poetry from pace poet, Afrofuturist, astronaut and geoscientist Sian Proctor, adding to the breadth of the EMTL experience. This work has evolved over time to what has been performed by EMTL seven times now over the last year and a half. 18 years ago, as part of Thomas’ commission composing and producing the Windows on Earth soundtrack, he created the sound design for the Windows on Earth Museum exhibit that was installed in a few places, including the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, Boston Museum of Science, and the St. Louis Science Center. Then in 2023, Dan Barstow, project director on the original project with Thomas, approached Thomas about pairing the original Windows on Earth soundtrack with the incredible Astronaut photography in the creation of Earth Movies, a project he was developing for Earth Music Theater. This was the start of many collaborations moving forward using the astronaut captured visuals tied in with Thomas’ music. The two were reconnected as Barstow had been breaking new ground with creative exploration of visually compelling views of Earth from space. His work transforms breathtaking astronaut photography captured aboard the ISS and digitally animates the photos into cinematic journeys across the planet’s deserts, oceans, forests and atmospheric wonders. In now propelling EMTL forward, Thomas is hoping to bring something positive to the world. “The factors in the calculus of propelling Earth Music Theater ‘Live’ forward, it was right around the [2024] election, and I was thinking what can I do? As an
individual, as an artist, as a creative person,” Thomas explained. “There is no time like the present to affect the future.” That inspirational line of thinking stems from Thomas’ prior work with legendary primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall. Through a longstanding creative partnership with New York Times Critics’ Pick composer and producer Ruth Mendelson, who worked with Goodall for many years, Thomas mixed Mendelson’s music on a number of projects such as the National Geographic documentary, The Hope, and Goodall’s “Hopecast.” In 2016, Thomas had the privilege to record Goodall reading her iconic book, “My Life With the Chimpanzees,” as well as do audio editing, restoration and mix of the immersive unabridged audiobook published by Hachette in the UK. Thomas said being able to meet someone who strived for a better world made a lasting impact on him, partly explaining this new endeavor with EMTL. “Dr. Jane traversed the globe on a mission to sow seeds of hope and spur us into action for our planet’s future. In my own way I’m carrying that work forward,” Thomas said. “We end every EMTL show with my favorite Jane Goodall quote: ‘You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” The sentiment runs through what EMTL aspires to be, as Thomas added the goal of the group and this project is to reach people and provoke thinking and understanding around planetary stewardship, and to present performances at minimal or no cost to the audience, ensuring that children, families and individuals can participate without barriers. Astronomy Day at Bombyx and the EMTL performance will be free to children and a sliding scale for adults. Thomas said he hopes audiences come out, soak it all in and can be reminded by the outstanding beauty of our world. “Every child should be exposed to the awe and the best thing that we can do in communicating that forward is having them be inspired to do something,” Thomas said. “That’s really cool for me to pull this together and share it with other people and hopefully move them to do some good.” To learn more about Thomas’ work through EMTL visit stevethomasguitar.com/emtl.
