2023 / 2024 HOME & HOPE 3 Volume 2 3 1, Number 132 Fr iday, J u ly 7, 2023 Aldi plan gets environmental policy review GREENFIELD By MARY BYRNE Staff Writer GREENFIELD — A handful of residents joined state officials and people associated with the proposed development of Aldi, the discount supermarket chain based in Germany, for an information session on Thursday morning as part of a review process to consider the project’s potential environmental impact. Speaking on behalf of Aldi grocery stores, Andy Platt of Bohler Engineering explained the plan to construct a 19,400-square-foot grocery store on the site of the now-demolished Candlelight Motor Inn at 208 Mohawk Trail. The 6.7-acre property, located west of Interstate 91 behind McDonald’s, has been owned by Benderson Development for 17 or 18 years, and will be leased by Aldi for the store and 97 parking spaces. In addition to the access point off the Mohawk Trail (Route 2), the site has frontage on Robbins Road. Platt said construction will largely occur on the northern part of the prope r t y. According to Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act analyst Nicholas Perry who shared information on MEPA’s environmental review process on Thursday, the Expanded Environmental Notification Form (EENF) was triggered as a result of certain thresholds the project met, including the generation of 2,000 or more new average daily trips on roadways providing access to a single location, and alteration of more than half the acreage of wetlands. The EENF indicates the project will require a vehicular access permit from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. “The MEPA is not a permitting process and does not approve or deny projects,” he clarified. “M E PA review occurs prior to state agency actions to ensure agencies evaluate their environmental impact.” At the end of the process, Perry said Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Grocery store proposal may generate over 2,000 daily trips on area roads By CHRIS LARABEE Staff Writer SOUTH DEERFIELD — Seniors in southern Franklin County will soon have a new option to travel across county lines for medical appointments, shopping and recreation. Thanks to a $16,612 Service Incentive Grant from the Massachusetts Councils on Aging and a partnership between the South County Senior Center, Franklin Regional Transit Authority (FRTA) and Pioneer Valley Transit Authority (PVTA), seniors in Deerfield and Whately will be able to travel to PVTA’s region and Sunderland seniors will be able to travel to F R TA’s service area through their agency ’s on-demand van service, according to Senior Center Director Jennifer Remillard. Broken down, $11,500 of the grant will be used to fund trip fares — covering up to 2,000 one-way rides — and up to $3,612 will be used to pay a van driver for trips not covered by the regional transit authorities. The remaining $1,500 will go toward administrative expenses. “Our goal is to facilitate direct service from point A to point B. With the grant we received, our goal is providing financial support for the fares and to supplement service with our Council on Aging van if the (transit authorities) cannot provide service at the requested date or time,” Remillard said. “For example, those who live in Deerfield or Whately are bound by the FRTA service area and cannot travel without a connecting bus to points in Hampshire or Hampden County.” Senior Center, transit groups will offer on-demand trips across county lines Grant to c over senior van ser vice SOUTH DEERFIELD By SAM DRYSDALE State House News Service BOSTON — Forty years after the state added a 5-cent deposit on some plastic bottles to encourage recycling, climate advocates say it’s “the right moment” to expand the state’s bottle redemption law. Proposals before the Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy would increase the bottle deposit from its current 5 cents to 10 cents, and would add more types of beverage containers to the program. A deposit would be added for water bottles, vitamin drinks, nips and bottles for other drinks that w e r e n’t contemplated when the initial law was adopted in 1982. Efforts to update this bill have failed in the Legislature for years, and voters in 2014 shot down a ballot question to tack the 5-cent bottle deposit onto drinks besides beer and soda. Without success in expanding the deposit, advocates told lawmakers at two Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy hearings Wednesday (as House and Senate members continue to hold separate hearings amidst a feud between the committee’s co-chairs) that Massachusetts is falling behind. The state has the lowest rate of people returning empty bottles and Bottle redemption proposal adds higher deposit Above, Emma Barrett, 11, and Alice Perkins, 8, both of Orange, make bubble art by blowing bubbles in a cup till they overflow onto paper at Wheeler Memorial Library’s Bubble Bash on Thursday.

PIONEER VALLEY SYMPHONY 85 th 4 SEASON FROM THE MUSIC DIRECTOR Dear Friends, I am so excited to welcome you to the Pioneer Valley Symphony’s 85th season! This year, we continue the PVS’ tradition of celebrating significant anniversaries with ambitious programming. Each concert is anchored by a major work we have long desired to perform, paired with new pieces or underappreciated favorites, all reflecting on our season theme of Home & Hope. For our season opener, Hope in a New Home, we reflects on some of the remarkable circumstances which have brought many artists and musicians to the United States with Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, full of the wistful yearnings for the composer’s Hungarian home that no longer existed, to Rachmaninoff’s third piano concerto, first performed in New York City in 1909 further cementing his success as a composer and virtuoso performer in the US, and the more recent “Life of an Alien” from Bode Omojola’s Nigerian opera Ìrìn Àjò, speaking to the challenges faced by new immigrants in our own time. We are so happy to again work with Jiayan Sun, who last joined us for a memorable performance of Beethoven’s “Emperor” concerto in November 2019. Guest conductor Netta Hadari invites you to rediscover Mabel Daniel’s enchanting Deep Woods alongside the beloved “Pastoral” symphony by Beethoven at Home in Nature. This concert also features the amazing Eric Berlin in Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto. He is renowned for his contributions on stage and also at UMass Amherst, where he has prepared generations of trumpeters who are in the field today. In the spring, we are thrilled to bring NYC-based violinist Kinga Augustyn to the region for Roxanna Panufnik’s stunning Abraham: Concerto for Hope which celebrates the connections between the major Abrahamic faiths. This is paired with Hector Berlioz’s gargantuan Symphonie Fantastique, featuring extravagant orchestral colors and exciting virtuosic writing—a treat for the audience and for the orchestra. To close the season, we are honored to present two meditations on the African American experience with Visions of Hope for the future: Margaret Bond’s Credo, which employs a text by W.E.B. DuBois sung by the PVS Chorus with the stunning soprano Brianna J. Robinson and baritone
2023 / 2024 HOME & HOPE 5 Nicholas Lagesse, and William Grant Still’s Symphony No. 2 “Song of a New Race.” In addition to features in three events with our orchestra, the PVS Chorus and Chamber Choir will also offer two independent concerts of CHORAL MUSIC focusing on composers from our shared home of the Pioneer Valley. Led by Dr. Allegra Martin in her second year as director of the PVS Chorus, the fall program includes the world premiere of a new setting of the words of Emily Dickinson from composer (and PVS’ assistant conductor) Anthony Ferreira. For fans of KID-FRIENDLY MUSIC, our annual family Holiday Pops will feature many of our singalong classics, while introducing a new commission from Clifton (Jerry) Noble, Jr. based on Tom Lehrer’s Hanukkah in Santa Monica, and music from Polar Express. The energetic and fun Film Pops concert will return in our outdoor summer season. Plus, this year’s Education Concert is an enchanting new work from Andrés Martín about a mountain lion lost in San Francisco who must find his way home. This concert is performed for the 3rd and 4th graders of Franklin County and is not open to the public, but a video recording will be available in May to stream in your home or classroom, free of charge. Thank you for joining us in our 85th season!

PIONEER VALLEY SYMPHONY 85 th 10 SEASON
2023 / 2024 HOME & HOPE 11
PIONEER VALLEY SYMPHONY 85 th 12 SEASON Austrian composer Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) did not see the ocean until the age of 58. Haydn is notable for having spent the majority of his career working for one employer - the Esterházys, an immensely wealthy Hungarian noble family. Starting in 1761, at the age of 29, he worked first for Prince Nikolaus for 29 years, and then for his son Prince Anton, and then for his son Nikolaus II. The Esterházy family moved around their various properties, spending some time in Vienna, but significant amounts of time at their ancestral seat in Eisenstadt, as well as at a grand new palace in Esterháza. Both Eisenstadt and Esterháza, being rural, were quite remote and isolated for Haydn, and he missed his friends and colleagues in Vienna. During his time working for Prince Nikolaus, he had an immense amount of responsibilities and turned out a huge amount of music. As scholar David Wyn Jones says, by 1790 Haydn was in the paradoxical position “of being Europe’s leading composer, but someone who spent his time as a duty-bound Kapellmeister in a remote palace in the Hungarian countryside.” Haydn’s Missa Brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo, affectionately known as the “Little Organ Mass,” was written for the Brothers of Mercy, who were Haydn’s neighbors in Eisenstadt. It was written in the winter of 1777-1778 for the extremely modest forces that the chapel of the Brothers of Mercy would have been able to command: two violins, basso continuo (which could have been played by a variety of bass instruments; today we will use a cello) and organ. It is famous for using “telescoping” in the Gloria and Credo, a compositional technique where different vocal parts sing different words of the mass text at the same time, so that one can cover quite a lot of textual territory quite swiftly. Martin Perlman points out that while it was probably not intelligible, the parishioners in an unheated church in Austria in the winter may still have approved this artistic choice. Haydn’s life took a dramatic turn when Prince Nikolaus died and Prince Anton became his new employer. Anton was interested in financial economy, so dismissed many of the court musicians Haydn was writing for and supervising. Haydn was kept on staff, but since his responsibilities were fewer, Anton was happy to let Haydn travel. Haydn’s two big trips were both to London, a city where he was already very popular; he took one trip in 1791-1792, and a second 1794-1795. He was a huge celebrity, and audiences flocked to the concerts he held. He made huge profits and many NOTES ON THE PROGRAM
2023 / 2024 HOME & HOPE 13 friends; and he wrote some of his most popular symphonies during this time. He also wrote a number of English and Scottish songs, several of which you will hear this afternoon. Towards the end of his first trip he wrote his “choral madrigal” The Storm, originally for chorus and orchestra but performed this afternoon with its flashy piano reduction. During this first trip Haydn was approached by Edinburgh folksong collector and publisher George Thomson, who asked him to arrange Scots folksongs for the British market; by 1804 Haydn had composed over 400 of these arrangements (Thomson paid quite handsomely, which probably helped.) The English canzonettas were self-published by Haydn, with the collaboration of Mrs. Anne Hunter, wife of a leading London surgeon who became friends with Haydn. She was also a poet and most likely the librettist for “The Mermaid’s Song” and “Fidelity” which are from Original Canzonettas, set 1, dating from 1792. “She Never Told Her Love” has a text by Shakespeare and comes from the second set of Original Canzonettas in 1795. We hope you enjoy the contrast between these pieces that Haydn wrote for his home in Esterhazy and away during his travels in London. In this program we also share a preview of our next concert, when we will join with the PVS Orchestra for a finale to our 85th season to perform these works in their full and thrilling orchestrated glory. Mary D. Watkins wrote her opera Dark River: The Fannie Lou Hamer Story about the Civil Rights hero and activist. The Pioneer Valley Symphony led a virtual singalong in July 2020 of selections from this opera with soprano Brianna J. Robins, who we are delighted to welcome back to perform with us on May 11th in Greenfield. Both Dark River and Margaret Bonds’ Credo vehemently advocate for justice and racial equality. Bonds (1913-1972) passionately set the text of W.E.B. DuBois’ prose poem by the same name towards the end of her life. The L.A. Philharmonic premiered several of the movements one month after her death. If there is one thread that connects Haydn to Watkins and Bonds, it is that everyone deserves the freedom to fully realize their potential. Thank you for joining us for this musical journey, and for your support–you, our audience, are what allows us to realize our potential and spread our musical wings!
