By Tammy Daniels, iBerkshires Staff
06:19AM / Saturday, October 12, 2024
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A state air quality director says Brayton Elementary School was a victim of an underreported "natural disaster" that hit the state in late summer.    "We were drowned with a lot of hot, moist air, and that, in and of itself, perfect painting," said Michael Feeney, director of the state Department of Public Health's Indoor Air Quality Program at Massachusetts Department of Public Health. "It's where the water is, it's where mold is going to grow. So then it becomes an issue as to where, what gets wet."   He told the School Committee at its meeting last week that mold needs at above 45 degrees temperature and

CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town and state are adapting plans for a walking route for children along West Cross Road from the school to the Community Center.    Clarksburg School earlier this year was awarded a $1.2 million Safe Routes to School grant toward developing a safe way to access the neighboring town field, installing a sidewalk, and putting in a crosswalk from there to the Community Center, which also is the town's evacuation center.    There are few sidewalks in the rural community and West Cross Road is no exception.

Letter: The Best Summer ... Until
Letter to the Editor,
11:00AM / Thursday, October 10, 2024

To the editor:

Oh 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.

Now my purpose, the roads. Everywhere I go there's people talking about
