Westend N.A. my wife said the computer desk shook
said what was that, I never felt a thing.
sitting in the office at mr. rooter plumbing myself and 3 others felt the building swaying and asked each other what is that. then shortly after it came over the radio. what a weird feeling.
My family and I were on a ferry enroute to NYC from Jersey City, NJ when it jit. We were in the modst of things when everything was being evacuated in NYC. Cell communications turned into another 9/11 but the worst part was most of it we heard was common chats. A sad day for people when they tie lines up for things that could wait during an emergency or possible emergency. :-(
I live in N. Adams but I lived in San Francisco for years. I immediately grabbed my phone, purse & bike helmet & got into the bathtub. No matter how many earthquakes I've experienced, they still worry me. But one in MA, was a real shock!
Williamstown Voters Have Choices for Library Trustees Spots
By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Just one office has a contested race in the town election on Tuesday.
But it is a crowded field.
Four candidates are on the ballot for two three-year seats on the Milne Public Library Board of Trustees.
The race — along with several uncontested races — will be decided when residents go to the polls from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12, at Williamstown Elementary School.
As is tradition in town, the town election will be followed one week later by the annual town meeting, also scheduled for the WES gymnasium, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19.
Willinet, the town's community access television station, offered the four library trustee candidates a chance to present themselves to the community in videotaped presentations available on the station and at its website, willinet.org.
The office sought by Janet Curran, Martin Mitsoff, Kathleen Schultze and Michael Sussman is one of seven seats on the Milne's Board of Trustees. That board is responsible for appointing the library director and deciding written policies for the library at 1095 Main St., on the Field Park rotary.
