Thought for the day“If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.” — LUCILLE BALL, American actress-comedian (born this date in 1911, died 1989) |

Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2019 Good morning, Beatniks. More heat today, but there'll be a break in the weather starting tomorrow when some August chill settles in for a spell. Elsewhere, in the news ... The Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts is investing $6 million to upgrade its dining hall and athletic complex. A federal judge has ruled that a case about nuts can move forward against the company that owns the Canyon Ranch Wellness Resort. The Southern Berkshire Regional School District has indicated that it's ready to hear out the neighboring Berkshire Hills School District regarding a partnership. Towns that are upgrading to fiber-optic lines now have an incentive from the state to keep the buildout's momentum going. Pittsfield parking has remained on the lips of city councilors, who last night in a subcommittee decided to recommend a window of free parking at the Columbus Street lot. Make your voice heard in the Berkshires. Send a letter to the editor of The Berkshire Eagle. After that, when you're feeling better, please remember to subscribe or renew your online or print edition of The Eagle. Very best, Noah Hoffenberg |
