VOL. III NO. 09 05/01/2022

PSAs from the Town of Stockbridge

SU thought readers would be interested, so we asked Michael Canales, Town Administrator:

  1. At the last Town Meeting (May 2021) the expenditures for The Soldier’s Monument and The Children’s Chime Tower were approved. SU thought readers would like to know, so we asked the Town Administrator, how long the funds remain available?
         The funding remains until used or closed out. Both projects are going out to bid. The Soldiers Monument within the next few weeks. The Chime Tower in June, with construction to take place after Memorial Day through the winter.
         Good news and thank you! The Children’s Chimes will mark the hour in Stockbridge once again and the Civil War monument will be maintained. Thank you to all who worked on these projects starting with Terry Flynn and Bruce Blair and including many others.
  2. Weather permitting, the Larrywaug Bridge will be closed Monday, May 2 and Tuesday, May 3 for paving
  3. Community Health Programs mobile unit is coming to the Town Offices parking lot May 4th — 1:30 – 3 p.m.. Blood pressure check, COVID19 vaccines and boosters, flu shots, and free home tests for COVID19 will be available. Walk-ins welcome or schedule by calling 413-528-0457

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

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!
