Are We There Yet?: Stay Empowered This WeekendBy Rebecca Dravis,
11:16AM / Thursday, July 10, 2014 | |
So now that we have power up here in the Northern Berkshires — for now — let's take a look at this weekend.
Actually, let's start with Friday, July 11, and if the power goes out on this event, who cares? I'm talking about Eagle Street Beach Party in North Adams, and a lack of electricity might actually enhance this event by removing the music that's always way too loud on one end of the street.
But I digress. From 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., kids are invited to come play in the more than 250,000 pounds of sand dumped on the street. There are games and contests, and the Eagle Street merchants always get in on the fun, too. The event is only held if there is no

Are We There Yet?: Ramble WeekendBy Rebecca Dravis,
11:19AM / Friday, October 11, 2013 | |

My brain is muddled (that's a fair warning to my editor) but somewhere in the back of my head I seem to remember being sick last year right around Columbus Day Weekend. Is it something about the change of the seasons? The fact that my daughter is back in school surrounded by germs — or that I recently chaperoned a school field trip to Jaeschke's Orchard in Adams with 60-plus of the little germ carriers themselves?

Sandy Cancels Governor's Visit to Florida TurbinesStaff Reports,

We'll be meeting with North Adams officials this afternoon about emergency preparations and checking in with other towns. We'll do our best to keep everyone as up-to-date as possible on cancellations and closures around the county.
Sandy could dampen the opening of the Hoosac Wind Project, which has had its own stormy path to completion over the past decade.

Governor in Pittsfield For Rice Silk Mill Ribbon CuttingStaff Reports,
02:10AM / Friday, October 19, 2012 | |
Gov. Deval Patrick stops by the Rice Silk Mill in Pittsfield this afternoon for a ribbon-cutting and a message about Gateway Cities (of which Pittsfield is one). We were at the mill 10 months ago when developers were getting ready to turn the derelict building into sweet apartments. Can't wait to see the changes.
The Berkshire Eagle reports that at least two instances of alleged sexual abuse by Boy Scout leaders in the Berkshires were found in the thousands of pages of confidential files ordered open by the Oregon Supreme Court.
