Letters: Williamstown Official Urges Yes Vote on Spruces

Letters to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

All Williamstown voters are encouraged to attend the special town meeting on Monday, Dec. 10, at 7 p.m. at Williamstown Elementary School. Voting "yes" on all three articles is important to both the town of Williamstown and the residents of the Spruces Mobile Home Park.

A yes vote means that the town will begin the demolition and cleanup work required by the FEMA grant prior to assuming ownership of the Spruces in early 2016. A yes vote means that residents of the Spruces will have access to a "Relocation Advisory Agent" to assist them with relocation funding and replacement housing.

To learn more about the three warrant articles, please watch Citizens in League Presents: Preview of Special Town Meeting Warrant on Willinet. This program can be viewed on Channel 17 (or 116.2) or viewed anytime at www.willinet.org.



Please attend the special town meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 10, and please vote yes on all three articles.
 

Jane B. Allen
Chairman of Williamstown
Board of Selectmen

Clark Art Presents Music At the Manton Concert

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute kicks off its three-part Music at the Manton Concert series for the spring season with a performance by Myriam Gendron and P.G. Six on Friday, April 26 at 7 pm. 
 
The performance takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.
 
According to a press release:
 
Born in Canada, Myriam Gendron sings in both English and French. After her 2014 critically-acclaimed debut album Not So Deep as a Well, on which she put Dorothy Parker's poetry to music, Myriam Gendron returns with Ma délire – Songs of Love, Lost & Found. The bilingual double album is a modern exploration of North American folk tales and traditional melodies, harnessing the immortal spirit of traditional music.
 
P.G. Six, the stage name of Pat Gubler, opens for Myriam Gendron. A prominent figure in the Northeast folk music scene since the late 1990s, Gubler's latest record, Murmurs and Whispers, resonates with a compelling influence of UK psychedelic folk.
 
Tickets $10 ($8 members, $7 students, $5 children 15 and under). Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524. Advance registration encouraged. For more information and to register, visit clarkart.edu/events.
 
This performance is presented in collaboration with Belltower Records, North Adams, Massachusetts.
