Print Story | Email Story
The Women’s Times has named Audrey Manring editor as of May 1. Manring is a former freelance writer and editor with experience in business, technology and community journalism. Before joining The Women’s Times as associate editor in January 2005, she served as editorial director of an IT consulting firm in Stamford, Connecticut, and worked as a management consultant in the financial services sector. In 2001, she co-founded an online children’s art nonprofit and subsequently taught art at Hillcrest Educational Centers in Lenox. “Audrey has been a tremendous asset to The Women’s Times,” said founder and publisher Eugenie Sills. “She possesses very strong writing and editing skills, as well as a deep interest in women and community. We have worked closely together over the past 16 months and share an editorial philosophy—to tell women’s stories and share resources with substance, style and integrity—that we believe serves our readers and advertisers well. I am delighted that Audrey is stepping into this new role. I cannot think of a better person for the job.” Manring, 32, lives in Stockbridge, Mass. She takes over the editorial helm from Sills, who, after 5 years in the editor’s seat, will turn her attention back to marketing and business development. The magazine unveiled a redesigned 4-color cover in March and plans other changes to the magazine this summer. The Women’s Times is the region’s only publication for women. 32,000 copies of the magazine are distributed monthly in two neighboring regions: the Berkshire Region and the Pioneer Valley. Copies are available at venues around the region or by subscription. For more information, call 413-528-5303.

Flushing of Pittsfield's Water System to Begin

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The city of Pittsfield's Department of Public Utilities announces that phase 1 of the flushing of the city's water system will begin Monday, April 22.
 
Water mains throughout the city will be flushed, through hydrants, over the upcoming weeks to remove accumulations of pipeline corrosion products. Mains will be flushed Monday through Friday each week, except holidays, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.
 
  • The upcoming flushing for April 22 to May 3 is expected to affect the following areas:
  • Starting at the town line on Dalton Avenue working west through Coltsville including lower Crane Avenue, Meadowview neighborhood, following Cheshire Road north.
  • Hubbard Avenue and Downing Parkway.
  • Starting at the town line on East Street working west through the McIntosh and Parkside neighborhoods.
  • Elm Street neighborhoods west to the intersection of East Street.
  • Starting at the town line on Williams Street, working west including Mountain Drive,
  • Ann Drive, East New Lenox Road, and Holmes Road neighborhoods.
Although flushing may cause localized discolored water and reduced service pressure conditions in and around the immediate area of flushing, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure that proper levels of treatment and disinfections are maintained in the system at all times. If residents experience discolored water, they should let the water run for a short period to clear it prior to use.
 
If discolored water or low-pressure conditions persist, please contact the Water Department at (413) 499-9339.
 
Flushing is an important operating procedure that contributes significantly to the maintenance of the water quality in the water distribution system.
