Print Story | Email Story
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, Dec. 18 at 6 pm, the Clark Art Institute, in collaboration with Images Cinema, concludes its Noir Film Series with a screening of "The Third Man" (1949). 
 
This program takes place in the Clark's Manton Research Center auditorium.
 
According to a press release: 
 
Pulp novelist Holly Martins travels to shadowy, postwar Vienna, only to find himself investigating the mysterious death of an old friend, black-market opportunist Harry Lime—and thus begins this legendary tale of love, deception, and murder. Thanks to brilliant performances by Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, and Orson Welles; Anton Karas's evocative zither score; Graham Greene's razor-sharp dialogue; and Robert Krasker's dramatic use of light and shadow, The Third Man, directed by Carol Reed, only grows in stature as the years pass. (Run time: 1 hour, 44 minutes)
 
Free. Accessible seats available; for information, call 413 458 0524

Williamstown Skate Park Planners Ramp Up Fund-Raising

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The group planning a new skate park for a town-owned site on Stetson Road hopes to get construction underway in the spring — if it can raise a little more than $500,000 needed to reach its goal.
 
Bill MacEwen was before the Select Board to give the body an update on two Purple Valley Trails projects in town: a mountain bike trail network that held a grand opening celebration in October and the replacement of the town's former, out-of-date and dilapidated skate park.
 
The latter initiative is fully designed, and Purple Valley has a contractor lined up to build the all-concrete layout of ramps and hills. But to break ground, organizers need about $720,000, MacEwen said.
 
"We're 27 percent funded, which is a significant amount," he said. "We have $203,000 as of this morning, which is a lot of money to put toward a community project."
 
McEwen said Purple Valley Trails has received grants from five corporate donors (the Community Preservation Coalition, Guntlow and Associates, Stewart's Shops, eBay and National Grid) as well as private donations to surpass the $200,000 plateau.
 
He said the group will be submitting a request for Community Preservation Act funding again for the fiscal year 2027 funding cycle. In May, town meeting approved a $32,000 grant of CPA funds toward the project.
 
In November, the Community Preservation Committee, which vets grant requests and makes recommendations to town meeting, learned that it expects to have about $624,000 in available funds for FY27, though about $187,000 of that figure would need to be dedicated to or held in reserve for three CPA purposes (historic preservation, open space preservation and community housing) that are unrelated to the aims of Purple Valley Trails.
