More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

'DUI: A Powerful Lesson' Presented at MCLA - February 29, 2008
NORTH ADAMS – Mark Sterner will present "DUI: A Powerful Lesson" on Tuesday, March 4, at 7 p.m. in the Amsler Campus Center gymnasium at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.
Sponsored by the athletic department and the Office of Student Development, the event is free and open to the public.
Sterner will speak about the effects of driving under the influence of alcohol. The former Johnson and Wales University student was on spring break in Florida when he and three fraternity brothers were in a fatal drunken-driving accident. Sterner was the driver.
After recovering from his injuries, instead of being the first person in his family to graduate from college, Sterner was the first to go to prison, after he was convicted of three counts of felony manslaughter.
In his presentation, Sterner shares the decisions that changed his life and ended the lives of his friends. He will show videotape footage his friends made of their spring break, ending just minutes before the crash.
"Since spring break and warm weather are right around the corner, we want to remind our students to make better, safer choices," said Holly McGovern, coordinator of the CHOICES program, and head women's basketball coach and the assistant soccer coach at MCLA.
