Williamstown Select Board Opts Not to Fill Vacant SeatBy Stephen Dravis, iBerkshires Staff
05:56AM / Wednesday, October 22, 2025 | |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Select Board on Monday decided not to fill seven months remaining on a vacant seat and instead allow town voters to fill out the board in May's annual town election. For the second time in a year, the five-person board finds itself down a member. This time, it is due to the resignation of Jeffrey Johnson, who stepped down this fall because of health issues. Johnson earned his second three-year term on the board in the May 2024 town election, meaning that the remaining two years of his seat will be on the ballot this spring, along with the seats currently held by Stephanie Boyd and Shana Dixon, who was elected last May to fill the final year 0 Comments

Letter: No 'No King Day' in WilliamstownLetter to the Editor,
11:20AM / Monday, October 20, 2025 | |
 To the Editor:
Apparently, there was no scheduled "No Kings Day" rally in Williamstown, the home of Williams College.
So ..... I took my sign and my trusty chair and sat on the lawn outside the Williamstown traffic oval just before the library's entrance.
My sign was small, but it slowed most of the speeding traffic. Got a couple of honks. I also put my signs in my Jeep's windows in the library's parking lot.
I sat there for about two hours. One elderly couple stopped looking for the rally that had been held at Field Park inside the oval at the previous No Kings rally. Alas, there was only me and my sign. A couple riding on a tandem bike holding a No Kings sign

 WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – A new bakery is opening up at the Colonial Plaza in the former Maestries Munchies. Great Falls Baking Company opened on Oct. 11 showcasing many baked goods made in house from scratch. Since she was a girl, owner Andrea Bennetch was an aspiring baker. "When I was that young, my mom was going back to school, and so there were nights during the week where we would just be home with my dad while my mom was at school. And at that point in my dad's life, he could not cook anything except for, like, eggs and sandwiches. So after doing that for two weeks, I was like, Mom, you need to teach me to cook something because I'm tired of eating this,"
