Letter: MA State Building Codes — Shower Glass

Print Story | Email Story

To the editor:

This is a followup to my previous letter "Building Codes Put Homeowners in the Middle." Believe it or not, we are still working on this issue!

Ryan Contenta, Williamstown building inspector, continues to withhold a Certificate of Occupancy, taking a stand against shower glass. We need an amendment to our state law that allows for an affidavit or detailed stickers to be used in lieu of etching, which involves use of a toxic chemical. It's also difficult to clearly stamp all of these lines of code.

Meanwhile, Monument Mountain senior Isaac Hartshorn will be in Fitchburg competing at 190 pounds in the Bay State Games wrestling tournament.
 
On Thursday afternoon, play wrapped up in the BSG softball tournament. Lenox senior Lilly MacDonald competed on the West team that beat Northeast, 6-5, in Thursday's bronze medal game.
 
Earlier this month, the county was represented on the baseball diamond by Mount Greylock's Emery Rotter and Mount Everett's Noah Inthirath, who helped the West team to a Bay State Games gold medal. The West went 4-0 in round robin play and beat Northeast, 4-1, in the tournament final.
