NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — After a long eight days, SteepleCats baseball returns to Joe Wolfe Field on Wednesday just in time for the start of Summer.

With school getting out on Monday, Summer has officially begun for the kids of Northern Berkshire County and the SteepleCats want to help get the fun started. Kids can get in free at both SteepleCats home games on Saturday and Sunday to enjoy some great NECBL baseball.

The Winnipesaukee Muskrats roll back into town on Saturday with the SteepleCats looking for revenge. On June 19th, the Muskrats handed North Adams a 16-10 loss after the SteepleCats’ early 5-0 lead was squashed by an eleven-run 5th inning for Winnipesaukee. It’ll be the second of five meetings of the two Northern division teams this year with the final three meetings being in Winnipesaukee.

Another familiar foe comes back into town on Sunday as North Adams takes on the Valley Blue Sox at 4:30. The division rivals have so far split the season series, each grabbing a big win as the away team. The SteepleCats 5-0 win over the Blue Sox in Holyoke came as their first win of the season, while the Blue Sox 11-0 win in North Adams saw the SteepleCats offense struggle to get going.

So grab the kids and head on down to Joe Wolfe Field this Wednesday and Saturday and come enjoy a night at the ballpark with high-level baseball, amazing food, and a great family environment. Tickets for Saturday's game can be found at http://steeplecatsvsmuskrats18-2.eventbrite.com while tickets for Sunday's game can be found at http://steeplecatsvsbluesox18-2.eventbrite.com/.

Clarksburg FinCom, Select Board Agree on $1.9M Town Operating Budget

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — The town is looking at an operating budget of $1,859,413 for fiscal 2025, down a percent from this year largely because of debt falling off.
 
Town officials are projecting a total budget at about $5.1 million, however, the School Committee is not expected to approve a school budget for two more weeks so no final number has been determined.
 
Town officials said they've asked the school budget to come in at a 2 percent increase. Finance Committee member Carla Fosser asked what would happen if it was more than that. 
 
"Then we would need to make cuts," said Town Administrator Carl McKinney, adding, "I'm a product of that school. But at the same time, we have a town to run to and, you know, we're facing uncertain weather events. And our culverts are old, the roads are falling apart. ... ." 
 
The assessment to McCann Technical School is $363,220, down about $20,000 from this year.
 
The major increases on the town side are step and cost-of-living raises for employees (with the exception of the town clerk at her request), the addition of a highway laborer, an increase in hours from 16 to 24 for the town accountant, and insurance and benefits that are about $70,000. There is a slight increase for employee training and supplies such as postage.
 
Select Board Chair Robert Norcross at Wednesday's joint meeting with the Finance Committee, said the town's employees are hard-working and that wages aren't keeping up with inflaction.
