During the Time of COVID

1. Historic Small Restaurant Grants

As a Stockbridge resident and customer, I was asked to support a grant application made by Tiffany’s Restaurant housed in Elm Street Market. American Express and the National Historic Trust are offering grants to aid small restaurants negatively impacted by COVID with special attention to those owned by minorities and women. The market and restaurant have served Stockbridge for almost 100 years. Please see my letter of support under Stockbridge History.

Every day the ability to get your shot increases. Now vaccinations are available to those who are 65 years old, teachers and school workers, and folks with underlying conditions. The amount of vaccine is increasing and therefore the difficulty getting an appointment will decrease.

To inform without opinion or pressure and give the people of Stockbridge the facts they need to make informed decisions.

To provide space for opinion, but since facts and opinions are different, to clearly mark opinion pieces, and clearly identify the opinion holder.

Stockbridge Updates: Format

SU is attempting to present a consistent format for readers. SU begins with its Table of Contents. The SU Editorial is next and then the News. News is divided between one-time events, such as the election and events around town, and recurring reporting, such as the Notes from… section. It is called Notes from… because SU attends the town meetings, takes notes, and reports what happened. If SU has a comment or question, it is at the end of the meeting identified as Editor’s Comment or Editor’s Question. The next section is Contributors. Under contributors, you may find Stockbridge history, opinion pieces, or information from a Committee Chair or elected official. Our final section is Reader to Reader, our letter section. The issue closes with the SU Statement of Purpose and Policy for Contributors. We welcome all letter writers and contributors; deadline on the 10th for the issue posted on the 15th of the month and on the 26th for the issue posted on the first.

Your Submissions Welcome!
