 Letter: Berkshire Community Action Council Rumors Hurt Fundraising EffortsWe were shocked to hear that there are members of our community who are spreading untruthful accusations about our programs. We pride ourselves on the collaborative way we work with our partners in the community.  Letter: Dalton Board Should Not Stop Special ElectionThis date should have been set a month ago after the resignation took effect.  Letter: Logging in the Notch ForestFor residents of lower Reservoir Road, suggestions that so-called climate smart logging will be good for us smacks of the urban renewal language used to usurp land and neighborhoods in the 1960s and '70s.  Letter: Stop the Notch Reservoir logging projectSpending time in nature has great benefits to the emotional well-being of people, and it would be a shame to take that from our fellow North Adams residents.  Letter: Mitts Will Work for the PeopleIt is a pleasure to endorse Marybeth Mitts as the next representative to the Massachusetts House of Representatives for the Third Berkshire District.  Veteran Spotlight: Guardsman Pvt. Shy Ann JacksonBorn in Falmouth, she entered basic training at Fort Jackson, S.C., in August 2014 after graduating from Mashpee High School.  Letter: Time to End the MCAS Graduation RequirementAs a parent, public educator, and school committee member, I urge you to vote YES on Question 2 and eliminate the MCAS as a graduation requirement.  Letter: On Timberspeak in North AdamsLike every other resident of North Adams, I was until very recently unaware of a sneaky logging plan for a patch of pristine public lands on the south side of Mount Greylock called Notch Woods.  Letter: The Best Summer ... UntilOh what a summer it's been. I cannot remember a nicer summer than 2024. We used our pool more this year than the past 25 years we've lived here.  Letter: Response to Crane and Art re: Notch Reservoir ProjectThe Crane and Art argument badly misstates the concerns of North Adams citizens who are opposed to the project.  Letter: Advocate for Passenger Rail from North Adams to BostonI implore you and your readers to take this time to learn about and advocate for this exciting new project that could expand commerce and travel across Massachusetts.  Letter: Logging Unnecessary in North AdamsI can't imagine why anyone would agree to log the Bellows Pipe Trailhead at Mount Greylock State Reservation.  Guest Column: North Adams Is Leading on Climate ResponseA broader understanding of the nature of both our regional forests and the role of humans that interact with them is necessary to understand what actions are called for and how they will work hand-in-hand with passive approaches to long-term stewardship.  Letter: Vote No On Oct. 8Maybe I'm out of my mind but I'm not willing to subsidize a 30-year mortgage for a declining enrollment.  Letter: Halt the Notch Reservoir Logging ProjectI am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed logging project at the Notch Reservoir in North Adams, a key source of our city's drinking water.  Letter: Yes to Greylock ProjectThis project has been in development for years, with the opportunity for public feedback and scrutiny. It has reached this point because the MSBA understands that our schools need to meet the quality expectations of the moment.  Letter: Support Next Generation With New Greylock SchoolRejecting the opportunity to build a new school at the same or lower cost than renovating the aging facility, with the state covering 80 percent of the expenses, would be shortsighted and fail to provide long-term cost savings.  Letter: Vote Yes for Greylock School ProjectI am writing to encourage all of your North Adams readers to vote Yes on Tuesday to invest in our school district, our students, and the future of our community.  Letter: Show North Adams Children They Are Valued on Oct. 8I have said many times that our kids are our most precious asset and our responsibility to them as a city is that we provide them the best education possible.  Letter: Vote No on Greylock School ProposalThere are several reasons why voters should vote "No" on this proposal: the declining school population, the tax burden on the citizens of North Adams and our crumbling infrastructure.  Letter: Vote Yes to Greylock School BuildThere are only so many Band-Aids that be put on without increasing the community's contribution to the yearly budget.  Letter: North Adams Students and Teachers Deserve Our SupportThe bottom line is that we cannot afford to make Brayton the school that our children can thrive in. The citizens of North Adams have a better option.  Letter: Greylock School Project Worthy of SupportIf the project is rejected at any stage, it moves to the back of the line, forcing the community to wait many more years, if ever, to reach the point where North Adams currently stands.  Letter: Vote No on Oct. 8 Proposition 2 1/2 ExclusionEven for those who could absorb the additional tax, approving the Proposition 2 1/2 exclusion would be a mistake. North Adams has other major expenses looming on the horizon.  Letter: The Problem With Yes Vote for Greylock SchoolI'll say it again and again, I think all the yay-sayers are missing the point of priorities in North Adams, why we moved to another town. |
