Letter: Ignore President for a Day

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the editor:

It has come to mind that now is the time for an old adage to be implemented across the news industry to demonstrate the power of our Constitution on the subject of freedom of speech and the free press.

"If you can't say anything nice about someone than don’t say anything at all."

To get the point across to someone who believes he has more power and knowledge than any person or group of people in the world and needs to be taught a lesson.

Take a unified stand and for one day do not mention the president in any way, shape or form in any article, not even the position of office.

It will destroy his credibility and reestablish the Constitution and its purpose and meaning as reality and the world should see America and more specifically the people of the United States as a unified group that doesn't allow one person to bypass 250 years of hard fought focus and purpose.

Oct. 17 Opening Planned for Williamstown Skate Park

iBerkshires.com Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Organizers of the town's new skate park plan a Grand Opening for Saturday, Oct. 17, at the Stetson Road venue.
 
The festivities, scheduled for 1 to 5 p.m., will feature a demonstration by a professional skateboarder, food and music to celebrate the long-sought publicly/privately funded facility.
 
A group of roller sport enthusiasts have been working for years to develop the new park, which surveys of residents show will fill an identified need for recreational opportunities for all ages.
 
The town agreed to remove an existing, outdated and worn out park on the site across Stetson Road from the youth baseball field and work with the skate park proponents.
 
In addition to in-kind contributions from the Department of Public Works, which helped clear the area of the old infrastructure, the town supported the new park through contributions of Community Preservation Act funds -- $32,000 for design in fiscal year 2026 and $350,000 toward construction in the current fiscal year, approved by wide margins at town meeting in May 2025 and 2026.
 
The total amount raised for the project through public funding, private contributions and corporate sponsorship is $750,000.
 
Grindline Skateparks of Seattle, Wash., is the designer and builder of the new park, which will be turned over to the town on completion.
