Finding a permanent place on the walls of its elementary school was an unexpected bonus.

After earning his bachelor's degree from Middlebury College and a master's in library science from Columbia, he built a career in the Brooklyn public library system for 35 years before retiring and returning to that School Street home in 2002 … right about the time the then-new elementary school was opening its 5 Comments Read More >> |

Williamstown Year in Review 2022: Progress and ProcessBy Stephen Dravis, iBerkshires Staff 04:55AM / Thursday, December 29, 2022 | | It was a year of big change at town hall and hesitancy to make major changes at town meeting. For the third straight year, the Village Beautiful dealt with an ugly national legacy of racism as ongoing work to increase diversity, equity and inclusion drove much of the public discourse. And while some long-term projects reached some resolution in 2022, other issues ring in 2023 with questions still to be answered. Under new management The top story of last year took more than a full year to resolve but finally concluded in April when the Select Board selected Robert Menicocci to serve as the new town manager. In keeping with the job requirements the board stressed 1 Comment Read More >> |

Wahconah Boys Lacrosse Made History in 2022By Stephen Dravis, iBerkshires.com Sports 05:39AM / Monday, December 26, 2022 | | It was a year filled with the usual complement of team and individual glory, but one Berkshire County squad went where none of its peers have gone before: to the top of the heap in high school lacrosse. That was enough of a milestone to give the Wahconah boys lax team the nod as the story of the year in Berkshire County athletics. It was an accomplishment several years in the making as Wahconah worked its way through the post-season — a one-goal loss in the Central/Western Mass quarterfinals in 2019, a Central/Western Mass title in 2021, the next year the tournament was held. But in the 10th year of the program's existence – just a decade after the 15 Comments Read More >> |
In Feat of Strength, Williamstown Resident Braves Weather with Festivus GatheringBy Stephen Dravis, 06:24AM / Saturday, December 24, 2022 | | WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. – At about 2 p.m. Friday afternoon, Mike Miller was busy putting the finishing touches on his Festivus pole in preparation for the town’s inaugural celebration. It was damp, gray and gloomy at the bottom of Spring Street. Perfect weather for the “Seinfeld”-inspired anti-holiday, no? “Yes,” Miller said. “But blowing wind and driving rain would not have been conducive with all this paper. Like I told people, though, it would just be one more thing to have a grievance about.” By about the midway point of the planned two-hour festivities, the rain and wind had arrived.

Letter: Building Codes Put Homeowners in the MiddleLetter to the Editor, 04:00PM / Wednesday, December 21, 2022 | |
To the Editor: I have to admit — I have no interest in showers. We bought one at Home Depot in Pittsfield and I never gave it a second thought until I received a violation letter from Ryan Contenta, Williamstown's building inspector. He noted that the glass had not been etched, which is against state code, he said. The glass was labeled "tempered" with a sticker; and it had the telltale signs of being tempered (soft edges, etc.). The glass manufacturer was certified by ANSI, which the code recognizes as an authority on tempered glass. Intertek Testing Services had also studied the glass and certified that it met criteria. But alas, it had not been etched. After about
