Williamstown Charter Review Committee Looking at Wide Range of Issues
By Stephen Dravis, iBerkshires Staff
05:20AM / Friday, January 06, 2023
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Members of the Charter Review Committee on Thursday reiterated that some of the issues it is examining may best be addressed outside the town's charter.   "The big choice is: Does it need to be in the charter or the bylaws?" Chair Andy Hogeland said. "It can also go into policies and procedures."   Not for the first time since it first convened in September, the ad hoc committee talked about other mechanisms for changing the operation of town government or codifying existing operations without amendments to the 1956 charter.   Which is not to say that the committee is not leaning toward making specific recommendations to

Fundamentals for Safe Ice Fishing
08:07AM / Wednesday, January 04, 2023
MONTPELIER, Vt. — With the start of the new year, many Vermonters are preparing for ice fishing.    "If you're looking for a fun, easy way to get outdoors with friends and family this winter, ice fishing is hard to top," said Fisheries Biologist Shawn Good.  "It's quick to learn, affordable and generally more accessible and social than open water fishing."   In light of Vermont's recent warm weather, the department stresses that anglers take ice safety seriously and recommends a few basic tips and precautions.   "A minimum of three to four inches of clear black ice is safe to walk on," advised Good.  "If

Letter to the Editor,
03:00PM / Tuesday, January 03, 2023

Sometimes investigation reveals that which seems "racist" is better called

MONTPELIER, Vt. — The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is reminding the public to take precautions around wild birds, as highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) continues to circulate in the state.   Backyard flocks of domestic birds in Caledonia and Lamoille Counties have had to be destroyed after exposure to the virus, commonly known as avian flu.   "Highly pathogenic avian influenza has been detected in more than 70 wild birds since March, with cases reported most months and in every region of the state," said Wildlife Program Manager David Sausville.  "Many exposures come from migrating birds, so we expect case numbers to drop as winter
