E•Media  “Committed to Community”

Moe Bellivue- New Horizons

We’d like to take a moment to congratulate Moe Belliveau on her recent retirement as Director of the Greater Easthampton Chamber of Commerce. With that, we’re also saying goodbye for now, as Moe will be stepping away from her role as host of the Chamber podcast, Mind Your Own Business.


Originally launched as Drop the Mic, the show debuted on November 7, 2019, with guest Sandra Costello. Moe hosted 17 episodes under the original title before rebranding the series in Winter 2022* as Mind Your Own Business, producing an additional 15 episodes.

Across both iterations, the show earned 1,445 YouTube views and 350 podcast downloads. In recognition of her work, Moe was named E•Media’s “Producer of the Year” in 2023.


While her retirement brings change, the incoming Chamber Director has expressed interest in continuing the series—and we’ve heard whispers that Moe herself may return with a new project after a well-earned break.


From all of us at E•Media, we wish Moe the very best in this next chapter and look forward to seeing what she does next.

"Abstracts in Nature"


"Abstracts in Nature," invites you to explore the natural world’s captivating interplay of colors, patterns, and shapes. We aim to heighten the abstraction's emotional and visual impact by embracing simplicity and stripping away excess details.


Our objective is to showcase artwork that captures the essence of a subject’s character—its lines, forms, and vivid colors.


Our talented photographers achieve this by drawing closer to their subjects, distilling each scene to reveal its true essence.


This theme celebrates the beauty of simplicity, emphasizing how a thoughtful arrangement of colors, patterns, and shapes can create a profound connection with the viewer.


In this exhibit, the fewer details, the more powerful the expression becomes.

June 2025


This exhibit is sponsored by Robert Floyd Photography, and its curator is Patricia Crutchfield.

Diane Savioli-Chase

July-August 2025


Diane has been visiting Scotland. She's excited to share photos of castles, unicorns, and other images representative of the country.

Charter/Spectrum and Cox to Merge



Charter Communications, the parent company of Spectrum—our local cable and broadband provider—is merging with Cox Communications in a $34.5 billion deal. The combined company will be called Cox Communications, though Spectrum will remain the customer-facing brand. If approved, the merger will create the largest broadband provider in the U.S., with over 38 million customers in 48 states. Local impacts remain to be seen, but changes in infrastructure and service models may follow.
