Dalton Voters To Decide Senior Center Fate
DALTON, Mass. — It looks like voters will be making the final decision on which Senior Center plan to implement. On Monday night, the Senior Center Feasibility Study Committee made its final recommendations.
They are (1) to build a new 4,200-square-foot building on town-owned land behind the old Dalton High School for $1.3 million; (2) to renovate the ground floor of the Dalton Youth Center behind Town Hall for $743,000 or (3) to expand space currently available at the W. Murray Crane Community House, which currently houses the Council on Aging offices. The cost of the third option is unknown.
Voters will have to approve one of those recommendations at a special town meeting.
Lenox Seeking Donations for Elm Designation
LENOX, Mass. — The town of Lenox has been invited to be one of 1,000 communities to receive the Liberty Tree Memorial designation.
The award is given by the nonprofit Elm Research Institute in Keene, N.H. Town officials say the designation will help make it possible to restore the elm trees that once graced the town's streets. The town is accepting donations to help make this happen.
Donations of any amount are being welcomed at Town Hall. The Elm research Institute will donate a 14- to 19-foot tall American Liberty elm for public planting.

Lanesborough Earned $15,302 in Credits
By Al Hartheimer
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Lanesborough earned $15,302 in insurance premium credits on its workmen's compensation and property casualty insurance costs. The town earned the credits through its participation in the Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association loss prevention and risk-management activities programs. MIIA is the town's insurance provider.
Member municipalities earn incremental insurance credits through proactive and voluntary participation in MIIA training activities over the course of the year and by implementing loss-control measures and instituting management policies and procedures that reduce injuries, accidents and property damage.
MIIA is the non-profit insurance arm of the Massachusetts Municipal Association and insures nearly 400 cities, towns, and other public entities in Massachusetts. |
