To the Editor:

I am excited to endorse Albert Cummings for Select Board. I have known Albert for decades. I've watched him grow his business from building small additions and renovations to award winning residential and commercial masterpieces. Similarly, I have seen his music career evolve from playing the banjo on Community Auditions, to singing and playing guitar around a campfire, to sharing a stage with some of the greatest blues artists who ever walked the earth. Albert's success in these areas come from a strong work ethic, great people skills, a willingness to always learn new ideas while not casting aside those ideas that are time tested and proven, and the attitude that a job worth doing is worth doing right. These are skills and attributes that will serve our town well.

Albert approaches people, ideas, issues, and opportunities with an open mind. He possesses an uncanny ability to engage with people, put them at ease, and allow them to be heard and has the experience of making tough decisions.

I encourage everyone to vote on May 11.

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Are you looking for a classic New England home with plenty of space for entertaining? Then this might be the home for you.

Our Friday Front Porch is a weekly feature spotlighting attractive homes for sale in Berkshire County. This week, we are showcasing 153 Gale Road. 

This 1986 home has five bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms, totaling 4,697 square feet, with just about three acres of land to enjoy.

The house features wood flooring throughout, two wood-burning fireplaces, two wood stoves, central air conditioning and a two-car attached garage.

Completing the property are owned solar panels, updated bathrooms, and a fully finished basement perfect for family fun, hanging out with friends, or time for yourself. Outside your cedar-shingled home, you can enjoy landscaped grounds, an expansive deck with a screened porch, and a custom fire pit. 

The house is on the market for $1,490,000.

We spoke to the listing agents from Burnham and Gold Real Estate Rebecca Cellana and Erin Scott.

This house is spectacular, with a sprawling traditional layout, and it is located right around the corner from the center of town.

It could work perfectly as either a primary or secondary home.  It would also be great for someone who likes to entertain or host guests.
