News & Notes: 'Good Morning America' Pulls Into StockbridgeBy Larry Kratka - September 16, 2008
Berkshire News Network
ABC Show Broadcasts in Stockbridge
STOCKBRIDGE — "Good Morning America" made a "Whistle Stop Tour" stop in Stockbridge Monday morning.
The train pulled into Stockbridge, arriving to the welcome of a large crowd of fans holding up signs with all sorts of messages, from ones supportive of the show and its hosts to signs in support of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.
The ABC show showed the country different aspects of Stockbridge from discussions with the residents of a Stockbridge neighborhood to a performance by Stockbridge resident James Taylor from the porch the Red Lion Inn on Main Street.
There was also a rumor that Obama could show up at Joe's Diner in Lee this morning, but that turned out to be just that, a rumor. (Obama is in Colorado today; running mate Sen. Joe Biden did show up for a fundraiser last week in Holyoke.)
Primary Day in Mass.
PITTSFIELD — Today is primary election day in Massachusetts and there isn't much for voters to choose between.
A sparse turnout is expected today for the Democratic primary race between incumbent U.S. Sen. John Kerry and challenger Edward O'Reilly and incumbent 1st District U.S. Rep. John W. Olver and challenger Robert Feuer of Stockbridge. That's it!
State Sen. Benjamin B. Downing along with state Reps. Daniel E. Bosley, Denis E. Guyer, Christopher N. Speranzo and William "Smitty" Pignatelli are running unopposed.
Pittsfield City Clerk Jody Phillips said she hasn't seen a lot of interest in the primary election. Polls are open today from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
Waiting in the wings to challenge the Democratic winners in November are Republicans Jeffrey Beatty for Senate and Nathan Bech for the House.
Gas Prices Ebb Slightly
PITTSFIELD - The spike in gasoline prices locally has been short-lived, at least in most cases.
Gasoline prices have come back to levels seen early last week, between $3.56 and $3.61 a gallon for regular. Prices could be higher at certain gas stations and are always higher in the Southern Berkshire communities of Lee and Great Barrington. The price-per-gallon of gasoline shot up on Friday in anticipation of Hurricane Ike hitting the Texas Gulf coast. |
