The Hive Makerspace Comes to Downtown Greenfield

GREENFIELD — After the World Eye Bookstore at 156 Main St. in downtown Greenfield moved down the street, the storefront sat empty for almost two years before former landlord Robert Cohn decided to take a new tack to find an appropriate tenant for the 5,600-square-foot space. He contacted local creatives to find out what might be an exciting contribution to the creative economy of downtown Greenfield, and artists and artisans from myriad disciplines suggested that a makerspace could be an economic driver and help create a destination downtown. So Cohn moved forward with finding the team to put such a plan in place, and the Hive was born. Rachael Katz and Adrienne LaPierre are the project leads working to implement the vision of a state-of-the-art public makerspace. Katz, the owner of the Greenfield Gallery just across the street, is the primary technical consultant for the Hive, with experience that combines the skills of a mechanical engineer with the talents of an artist. She is the sculptor behind the Beatrice the Bee project, the largest public art project ever undertaken in downtown Greenfield, in which six painted bees will be placed around town in celebration of Bee Fest in May 2020. LaPierre, who will be the executive director of the facility, is an educational technology consultant who has spent the past five years working within the Brattleboro public school system to develop innovative ways to integrate makerspace activities and engineering design into the elementary- and middle-school curriculum. They are working with a small, dedicated team of advisors and volunteers to bring the Hive to life. They have applied for a planning grant and have initiated fundraising efforts to cover costs for the first year of development. The name of the Hive is a tribute to the long-standing legacy that Greenfield holds in the world of beekeeping. Makerspaces represent the democratization of design, engineering, and fabrication. At the Hive, traditional artisans will stand side by side with engineers operating 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC machines. Performing artists may design fabric for costumes, and props for plays can be crafted at the same time prototypes for new products created by local innovators and entrepreneurs take shape.

New Restaurant to Open in Thornes Marketplace

NORTHAMPTON — Aaron Thayer, a chef with experience at exclusive fine-dining establishments in Boston and San Francisco — and at Coco & the Cellar Bar in Easthampton — will open a restaurant called Patria in Thornes Marketplace with his business partner and wife, Abby Fuhrman. Patria will be located on the basement level in the space formerly occupied by ConVino, which closed in August. Thayer and Fuhrman expect to open Patria in the spring of 2020. Currently, they are renovating the dining room and kitchen to create a more functional flow and enhance the décor with new furnishings and lighting. Key in creating a new workflow is a restructuring of the dining room and kitchen to account for the fact that Patria will be focused more on food service, whereas ConVino’s emphasis, as a wine bar, was on beverage sales. Thayer said Patria will offer fine dining with a relaxed and casual approach. Patria will specialize in large, family-style roasts, fresh pastas, and vegetable dishes that will all be sharable. Service and quality will be a major focus of the restaurant, and Thayer and Fuhrman will work to create an atmosphere that is comfortable and adventurous. Thayer will use as much local produce and other ingredients as is possible.

SPRINGFIELD — The Massachusetts Commission for the Blind (MCB) was inducted as a corporate member into the Rotary Club of Springfield on Dec. 6. Nathan Skrocki, regional director, and Keri Davidson-Bravman, vocational rehabilitation and children’s worker supervisor for the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, will be the participating members. The MCB was sponsored by Rotarian Paul Lambert, vice president of Enshrinement Services & Community at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. MCB was established on July 13, 1906. The organization was originally comprised of three men and two women, including Helen Keller. Its mission is to provide vocational and social rehabilitation services for residents of the Commonwealth who are declared to be legally blind by an eye professional. MCB provides rehabilitation and social services to Massachusetts residents who are blind, leading to their independence and full community participation. Its main office is in Boston, with regional offices in Springfield, Worcester, and New Bedford.

Cannabis Education Center Opens Registration for Job-training Programs

By
Daily News

HOLYOKE — Registration is now open for the first two job-training programs offered by the Cannabis Education Center, a partnership between Holyoke Community College and the Cannabis Community Care and Research Network (C3RN).

The center’s cannabis culinary assistant program will begin Jan. 25 and run for six consecutive Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the HCC MGM Culinary Arts Institute on Race Street.

Cannabis culinary assistants are responsible for preparing cannabis or cannabidiol-infused products using a variety of cooking, baking, and infusion techniques. Students will learn about manufacturing operations and security, health, and safety policies and regulations.

A program to train workers for jobs as patient advocates/budtenders will begin March 2 and run for six consecutive Mondays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Kittredge Center for Business and Workforce Development on the main HCC campus, 303 Homestead Ave.

Patient advocates, often called budtenders, work behind the counters at cannabis dispensaries, interacting with the public, answering technical questions, and providing information to registered cannabis patients, caregivers, and recreational customers making purchases.

Each six-week job-training program will be followed immediately by an internship period — three eight-hour days over two weeks — with a licensed cannabis industry employer. The cost for each program is $3,000, but trainees can apply for tuition assistance through C3RN.

“C3RN has been working with cannabis-based companies and philanthropic organizations on funding, and we hope to be able to offer generous scholarship packages to applicants,” said Jeff Hayden, HCC’s vice president of Business and Community Services.

Space is limited. Priority will be given to applicants who are unemployed, underemployed, or have limited work or college experience. 

HCC and C3RN are designated training partners through the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission’s Social Equity Vendor Training program. The program was designed to provide priority access, training, and technical assistance to those negatively impacted by the drug war.

The Cannabis Education Center is based out of HCC’s Kittredge Center for Business and Workforce Development.

More information on these and other upcoming classes and programs can be found on at cannabiseducationcenter.org or by calling (413) 552-2561. Prospective students can register at that website or at hcc.edu/bcs (click on ‘cannabis education’).

By
Daily News

AGAWAM — Perfect distance vision is commonly referred to as 20/20 vision. As a new year begins, the Employers Assoc. of the NorthEast (EANE) wants to help those in the human resources (HR) field sharpen their visions for career growth.

HR certifications from HRCI or SHRM indicate that an individual possesses a knowledge and understanding of what HR professionals at various levels are expected to know and do on the job. The certification exams require a combination of experience and preparation in order to be successful.

EANE provides a proven study process for these exams. The national pass rates for the HRCI or SHRM certification tests is about 50%. That pass rate increases to nearly 90% for those who have studied with an EANE HR certification study group.

HR certification opens new doors for HR professionals and can positively impact the processes and culture of the organizations they serve.

Swift River Building New Pharmacy at Home Campus

By
Daily News

CUMMINGTON — Swift River, a member of the Addiction Campuses treatment centers, announced the opening of a new pharmacy. The construction project began in 2019 and is expected to be completed this month.

Swift River has teamed up with Keiter Builders Inc. based in Florence, and Kuhn Riddle Architects of Amherst to lead in the design and construction of a new, 1,690-square-foot addition. The addition is a B-use occupancy including a nurse’s station, patient-service portals, exam rooms, and a pharmacy for the storage and dispensing of narcotic addition-treatment substances. The project is regulated by the Drug Enforcement Agency and meets relevant standards, including an alarm system, security cameras, motion and sound detectors, and limited key-access entry points.

“It’s been fantastic working with Keiter Builders,” Swift River CEO Matt Love said. “The team from Keiter has been professional, accommodating, and responsive to our needs during the construction project. The pharmacy will allow Swift River to expand medication-assisted treatment options to patients in a safe, secure location as well as expand the nurses station for patients in our detox unit. We are excited about this addition of a new pharmacy as well as the new relationship we’re establishing with Keiter Builders.”

Gio’s Pizzeria Supports MHA with Wing Promotion Every NFL Game Day

By
Daily News

HAMPDEN — Americans are expected to eat a whopping 1.38 billion chicken wings During Super Bowl weekend, according to the National Chicken Council — about 27 million more than last year. Gio’s Pizzeria, a fixture in Hampden since 2011, is leveraging its customers’ love of chicken wings to raise funds for the Mental Health Assoc. (MHA). On every NFL game day now through Super Sunday, Gio’s will donate 50% of proceeds from the sale of their chicken wings to MHA.

“I wish more people would be more aware and more understanding of mental health,” said Gio Cirillo, general manager of Gio’s Pizzeria. “People need to talk about it and not hold it inside. MHA does so much good in so many ways for mental health, and I wanted to help. I think this wings promotion is a great opportunity for a local business to do what we can and what we know to support the issue of mental health and bring further awareness to the community.”

Gio’s Pizzeria, located at 9 Allen St. in Hampden, is a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant serving pizza and Italian foods, using homemade dough and marinara sauce made daily.

“We’re thrilled that Gio Cirillo is making this generous commitment to MHA, and I can’t think of a more delicious way to do it than with that staple of football finger food, chicken wings,” said Kimberley Lee, vice president of Resource Development & Branding for MHA. “Fifty cents of every dollar you spend on Gio’s wings on NFL game days through Super Sunday will go directly to MHA to support our programs in mental wellness, developmental disabilities, homelessness, substance use, acquired brain injury, and more. If you’re going to eat chicken wings during the playoffs, get yours from Gio’s.”

Cirillo explained that every chicken wing sold on NFL game days counts toward Gio’s donation to MHA. “Pick up, delivery, or dine in, it’s all the same,” he said. “We deliver throughout Hampden and into parts of Springfield, Wilbraham, East Longmeadow, Longmeadow, Monson, Enfield, and Somers. Customers can call to place an order and confirm they’re in our delivery area. Place orders early on game days, especially on Super Sunday. I can’t stress that enough. There will be a lot of demand those days, which is exactly why we picked those days to raise funds and awareness for MHA.”

Fresh Paint Springfield Festival Releases Economic Impact Report

By
Daily News

SPRINGFIELD — Fresh Paint Springfield, the first-ever downtown mural festival that took place in June 2019 and transformed 10 large exterior walls into art, has released a report on the positive economic impact that occurred in Springfield from last year’s festival.

Fresh Paint Springfield has also announced plans for a 2020 festival, which is set to take place June 1-13, 2020 and will paint exterior walls in Mason Square and downtown Springfield. Nominations for 2020 murals on walls in Mason Square or downtown can be made at www.freshpaintspringfield.com/walls.

The economic-impact study involved a team of specialists from the UMass Design Center and Jessica Payne Consulting to measure concrete participatory, financial, cultural, community, and environmental outcomes of the festival. The full report can be downloaded at www.freshpaintspringfield.com.

The study found that Fresh Paint Springfield stimulated new investment in the downtown community and showcased the connection between public art and economic development. The resulting economic impact to Springfield was $361,481.

The study also found that business owners benefited from an uptick in revenue during the festival, and the murals permanently improved the walkability of downtown. All business owners reported that sponsoring the festival was a good use of city and state economic-development funds, and would like to see Fresh Paint Springfield happen again.

Respondents also overwhelmingly agreed that the murals and festival events valued public art and built a greater sense of community. Fresh Paint Springfield events generated interactions among individuals of diverse age, race, and ethnicity in ways they had not necessarily seen as typical in Springfield. An estimated total of 1,800 individuals participated. 

Fresh Paint Springfield also generated extensive positive media coverage, reaching almost 1.5 million people, and was effective in improving perceptions of Springfield. The Festival’s Facebook page had 4,861 ‘engaged users’ and 85,800 page impressions, and its Instagram posts with the hashtag #freshpaintspringfield had been liked over 20,000 times. 

The inaugural festival drew 12 sponsors, including foundations, nonprofits, municipal agencies, and private businesses, 82% of which have headquarters in Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD — Michael Ostrowski, president and CEO of Arrha Credit Union, recently taught financial literacy to high-school students at Pope Francis Preparatory School in Springfield. In this new program, Ostrowski spoke about how one’s credit score affects buying a car or home, how to balance a checkbook, budgeting, and costs to own and manage a home.
