Selectmen: 

            Special Town Meeting - October 4, 2008 9am at the North Egremont Fire Station. Topics of articles will be:

          Authorize the Board of Selectmen to lease a portion of the Town Hall property for possible construction of a Wireless Telecommunications tower.

          Raise money to have architectural, engineering and consulting work done renovations of Town Hall and construction of a new Police Station.

          Adopt a definition of “youth facility” for the Adult Entertainment Bylaw.

                        The Board welcomes new highway employees Chris Beckwith and Richard Neales.

            The Board held a meeting on August 9 to accommodate second home owners. Topics of discussion were residential alarm systems and the possibility of having lock boxes with keys to allow emergency personnel access to buildings and homes if no one is home at the time of an emergency; installing CO2 detectors in homes as well as smoke alarms; having our Police Department check on homes if they are empty; capital projects the Town is planning such as a possible new Library, new Police Station and renovations to Town Hall; allowing non-voters the right to speak at Town Meetings; when Town Board meetings are and whether those meeting nights could be more convenient for second home owners; technology for high speed internet and cell phones; electing School Committee members; and the value of input by second homeowners. If you would like a copy of the minutes of this meeting, or any meeting of Town Boards, please contact Town Hall.    Egremont on Parade was a huge success despite the bad weather in the afternoon. See the Egremont on Parade article below for a full report. Thank you to all who volunteered, donated, and attended.

            There is a vacancy on the Board of Health. This is a volunteer position that is very active. If you are interested please contact Juliette Haas, Board of Health clerk. She is at Town Hall Monday - Thursday 8:30am to 12:30pm.

            School Crossing Guard Joe Lewis has retired. We thank him for his service to the town in good weather and bad. Katie Chebatoris will be taking his place - Thank you Katie.

            We thank Karen Waller for her years of service on the Finance Committee and wish her luck in her future away from Egremont.

            The Town Hall is collecting non-perishable food items for the local food pantry through the 4-H program. Food items will be collected at Town Hall until November 1, weighed and turned in to the food pantry in Great Barrington. This food collection program is sponsored by Cumberland Farms.

 

Egremont Police Department:

            FALL is just about here and school sessions have started everywhere. We urge all motorists to be cognizant of school buses, pedestrians, crosswalks, and other vehicles on the road. Our goal is to continue to maintain a safe community for all who travel through the streets of Egremont.

            We are often asked about the ways that homeowners can make their property safe. It is important to take extra care in securing your home when you are going to be away, in particular, if it is for an extended period of time. We emphasize leaving lights on, set a timer, and try to have at least one motion detector outside. Notify your neighbors and the Egremont Police Department when you are going away on a trip. It is a good idea to cancel any newspaper deliveries and have your mail held at the post office. A “key holder or care taker” stopping by often to check the property and keep lawns mowed (or driveways plowed and cleared) is a sound measure to take. If you ever arrive home and suspect that a stranger may be inside, do not go inside- CALL 9-1-1.

            If you need to speak with the Egremont Police Department, our business number is 413-528-2160. If an officer is not in at the time of your call, please allow the phone line to ring several times and the on duty dispatcher will direct your call. Please remember, for all emergencies DIAL 9-1-1.

 

Historical Commission:

            The Commission is seeking new members who can actively participate in the Commissions projects and activities, such as in working in the Archives room. If interested please contact Betty Duryea at 528-3426.

            Thanks to volunteer help from Mr. Charlie Flynn the Commission will soon have computer facilities for data storage. The Commission is currently working on postcards with historical photos which will be for sale by the Commission. Watch for these to be available soon. The Commission has recently acquired a collection of historic deeds and are having a case made to house the collection of old family bibles.

            The Archives room above the Library is open the first Saturday each month form 9am to noon and the third Monday from 2pm to 4pm. Please come by.

 

Town Clerk:

            The State Primary is September 16. Polls will be open from 7:00am to 8:00pm. If you would like an Absentee Ballot for this election your request must be submitted in writing by 12:00noon on September 15. Remember for this election only, you need to request a Democratic or Republican Ballot.

            The Presidential Election is November 4. It is not too early to request Absentee Ballots for this election. The earlier you submit your request, the more efficiently it will be processed. At this election you will also be electing the representatives of the Southern Berkshire Regional School Committee.

 

Assessors:

Council on Aging:

DATES TO REMEMBER:

            Wednesday, September 10-2pm - Claire Teague Senior Center in Gt. Barrington. Seniors are invited to attend the TRIAD meeting - As part of that meeting plans will be completed for a visit from Amy Goodrich in October. Amy is a former investigator for Elder Services in Pittsfield in the field of Protective Services.

            Wednesday, October 8 - 2pm - Seniors or their family members should mark their calendar and attend this special meeting at the Gt Barrington senior center. We need to learn about the special services which Amy Goodrich will be able to tell us about from her experience with Elder Services.

            ADDITIONAL EXERCISE PROGRAM OFFERED: The Council is pleased to announce that an additional session of aquatic exercise has been put in place at Simon’s Rock. This means that we now have 3 different days on which to take advantage of this most helpful program. At 11:00am Monday, Tuesday and Friday at the Kirkpatrick Athletic Center, Simon’s Rock, Alford Road.

            Through the use of “Grant” funds available from the Mass. Office of Elder Affairs we are able to participate in this program at a very reasonable fee per class for each participant. – PLEASE NOTE For ten years we have conducted a low impact aerobics exercise program at the South Egremont Congregational Church on Wednesdays at 9:30am, again underwritten by funds from the Office of Elder Affairs enabling us to do this with only a small donation from the participants at each session.

            Since exercise is an important part of many healthy-living regimens, we are proud of these programs and urge seniors to learn more about them and participate, if possible. – These programs are examples of your tax dollars at work on very worthwhile programs to assist seniors as they grow older.

 

Board of Health:

Berkshire Heating Season Strategies- Plan Now!

            Everyone knows that the cost of heating oil is substantially higher this year and many of us in New England heat with oil. Natural gas and electric users will be less impacted by the spike in oil prices, but all of us can benefit from these ideas for reducing heating costs. Some of these strategies require some money, some require professional help and all of them require some time to accomplish. There will not be enough emergency heating assistance to help everyone, so plan now for your situation this winter.

Clean and tune:

            All heating appliances should be professionally serviced before the heating season starts. This will save you money and make you safer. Dust is an insulator so change your air filters and vacuum your radiators often. Also seal and insulate your heating air ducts and pipes so heat is not wasted in attics and basements.

Close the cracks:

            The most important strategy is to make our houses more fuel efficient. We can’t trade our house in like our cars on a new model, but we can tune up the house we have by using caulking, insulation and foam to close all the air leaks. Make sure windows and doors fit properly. Consider putting plastic over unused windows and doors. Where possible, increase ceiling or attic insulation, replace single pane windows and doors or install storm windows and doors. Sealing cracks with weather stripping is the single most effective strategy for saving heat and increasing comfort.

Turn down the heat:

            Consider installing a setback thermostat to turn the heat down when you are not there or asleep. Most healthy adults who dress warmly and are active are perfectly safe in house temperatures as low as 55 degrees. Young children and older family members may not tolerate such low temperatures, though and will need additional heat in the rooms where they sit or play. Also pipes in outside walls may freeze in some older homes with little insulation on days when the temperatures really drop if the house temperature is too low. Think of those spots that sometimes freeze and add extra insulation or wrap the pipes with heating tape to prevent freezing.

Close off rooms:

            In the old days, most houses only heated the rooms that were being used while they were in use. Entirely closing off a section of your home may require the services of a professional. All heating and water pipes in the closed off section have to be isolated from the rest of your water system and drained so they won’t freeze.

Bundle up:

            Put on extra sweaters and don’t forget the slippers. On really cold days, people used to wear hats and scarves indoors because they kept you warm. Use extra sleeping bags and quilts to keep warm. Also eat warm, healthy foods and practice other health habits.

Share with a friend:

            During really cold spells, consider sharing space and heat with a friend or neighbor. Check on neighbors, especially the elderly who can easily slip into hypothermia at temperatures in the 60’s.

Start saving now.

            Oil prices are down, so fill your tank now. Knowing that heating expenses will be much higher is a good reason for starting saving for this expense now while it is still warm outside.

Alternative Heat Sources:

            Electric, propane and natural gas are currently less expensive than oil but can pose risks if not properly installed and used. Check cords and outlets for safety. Oil filled electric radiators with auto shut offs are the safest temporary room heaters to use. If you are considering wood heat, make sure your chimney and stove are clean and safe and only burn clean, dry hardwood. Fireplaces without a good insert are usually net losers of heat. Remember Carbon Monoxide (CO) is the silent killer. Install a good CO detector near your bedrooms today.

Green Ideas:

            Consider installing an air or water heat recovery system. This will require a professional and cost money, but will improve indoor air quality and save you money. Solar hot water panels are also a proven way to save money.

 

Library Building Committee

“Strong libraries are essential to education and life long learning, to economic development, to strong communities and a strong democracy.”

Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners

            The Egremont Free Library Building Committee has signed a contract formally hiring Ken Best from DRA Architects in Newton Centre, Ma.

Mr. Best will be developing plans for the new library that will be located at the Town Hall complex. His position is funded from the matching state grant that the town applied for and received from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC).

            Approximately 50 people attended the public forum held on June 25th including members of the Library Building committee, members of the Board of Selectmen, town residents and Ken Best and Paul Brown of DRA Architects. Mr. Best was introduced and reviewed the major goals of the Library Building Program, services that the library performs, the importance of sustainable design, site analysis and building organization. After a lively discussion of the above issues, the group broke into two small groups to discuss the pros and cons of proposed sites and interior designs of the library building.

            Since the public forum, there have been several Library Building Committee meetings throughout the summer months. During the last meeting on August 7th, Anne Larsen, a consultant from the MBLC, updated the committee about the timeline and requirements for the next application round for the state grant funding of library building construction.

            The committee will be scheduling future public forums to keep you informed of their plans and progress. Please remember this will be your library and your input is important. We value your support.

            Our next Library Building Committee meeting will be on Thursday, September 11th at 5:30 at the Town Hall.

 

Treasurer\Collector:

            FY 2009 - Preliminary Real Estate & Personal Property Taxes - Due dates are August 1 & November 1. If payment has not been made, interest is accruing on the August 1 payment. Also, past due notices were mailed for FY08 taxes still outstanding. Anyone receiving a red notice should contact the Tax Collector immediately.

            The actual tax bills will be calculated after the tax rate is set. Those bills will be mailed by January 1, 2009. Please remember to contact the Board of Assessors with inquiries on your assessments.


            Motor Vehicle Excise - Interim bills are still being mailed periodically as the bill information is received from the Registry of Motor Vehicles. Interim bills are generated when a new or used vehicle is purchased and/or registered during the present or prior year. PLEASE NOTE: If you have disposed of a vehicle, please remember, it is the taxpayers responsibility to file an abatement. Do not ignore the tax bill as it stays on the books until it is paid or abated. Again, we only have the information provided to us from the Registry of Motor Vehicles which comes from the vehicle owner. If you have received a notice from the Deputy Collector please call his office to clear your obligation.

            On Line Banking - UNIPAY on line banking is a great tool for last minute payments of any bill owed to the town. Go to the Town of Egremont web site www.egremont-ma.gov/ and click on pay your bills on line. Follow the instructions from that point. You will be able to use ACH or a credit card. Thank you to all who are using the on-line product. It is working great. Please give it a try.

            Note: When making payments through your bank bill pay please remember to use your current tax bill number and check to be sure the remittence address is correct.

            Questions/Confusions - I will be glad to address any question that would be of general information to the taxpayers. Submit questions and concerns pertaining to the Tax Collector/Treasurer to Pat, P.O. Box 368 So. Egremont.

            Please Note New Hours - Tax Collector Monday 7am to 4pm, Tuesday 7am to 6pm, Wednesday 7am to 11am and Thursday & Friday 7am to 3pm.

 

Conservation Commission:

            It is in the interest of everyone to have access to information that helps in the conservation of our most vital resources: Planet Earth and water.

            In this day and age of computers, perhaps one of the most powerful tools at our disposal is the world wide web. Do you have a specific question about invasive plants? Or wetland question? Or just curious about something and don’t know where to turn? Then perhaps one of the following websites might be of interest.

            As no list is ever complete, the ECC would be happy to take suggestions for any web sites that would be appropriate to this list from the readership. They could be emailed to us via the town of Egremont web site: tegremont@yahoo.com

            Perhaps a prudent way to assemble a “directory” of web sites might be by classification.

Egremont On Parade: July 27, 2008

            The first annual Egremont On Parade was a rousing success (in spite of the storm) thanks to the community’s support. Although we don’t know for sure how many people showed up (one estimate based on food consumed was 500) the parking lot was full and people were still driving in even as the sky opened.

            And the feed-back has been amazing - Egremont on Parade was truly a family event and we have received rave reviews from towns all over the Berkshires.

            And the food - “The Taste” and the Egremont Firemen’s barbecue were a big hit. The Old Mill, John Andrews, Egremont Inn and the Elm Court really outdid themselves - the food was fabulous.

            Thanks to everyone’s generosity we have seed money for next year and money to donate to the Egremont Fire Department and the French Park Trust Fund!

            And guess what - July 26, 2009 - we are doing it again. If you are interested in joining the committee please call Bonnie - 528-5637. Even though it’s a year away, please start to think about items you might be willing to donate to the silent auction and the raffle.

            THANK YOU!!

 

Planning Board:

            The Attorney General has approved the Adult Entertainment Overlay District bylaw that was passed by the town at a Special Town Meeting last year. The Attorney General’s approval is the final decision in the process for a zoning bylaw amendment, and after publication by the Town Clerk, the bylaw is then in effect.

            Along with the approval, the Attorney General recommended that the town clarify what is meant by the term “youth facility.” The bylaw specifies distances that must separate adult entertainment uses from certain other types of land uses—namely, from a “religious facility, school, day care, library, playground or park, any establishment licensed under MGL c. 138 §12, or any youth facility.” The AG recommends adding a definition of “youth facility” to our bylaw to clarify the types of land uses to which these setbacks apply.

            Therefore, the Planning Board is proposing that the following definition be added to Section 5.4.6 of the bylaw: “Youth facility: Any use of buildings or land for the education, recreation, or entertainment of minors, including but not limited to camps, camping facilities, swimming areas, riding stables, and skiing areas.”

            As part of the required process for amending zoning bylaws, the board will hold a Public Hearing on this proposal on September 8, 2008, at 7:30 PM at the Town Hall. Comments from townspeople are welcome. The Selectmen have agreed to include this proposal on the Special Town Meeting warrant for October 4, 2008.

 

The South Egremont School:

           Perhaps you have noticed the signs popping up on buildings around town that say when they were built? Thanks to Bill Wood and the Friends of Historic Egremont, the Town has purchased a sign for The South Egremont School. Now that school is back in session in our newly painted building with a brand new red door, we will have a special sign dedication sometime this fall. We will post the date and time so that any who wishes to, may attend. In the meantime, please remember to drive slowly as school is now open - and say hello to our crossing guards.

Alford-Egremont Cultural Council:

            Do you have an idea for a musical presentation, a drama performance, an art workshop or another community event? It is time to apply for a 2009 grant from the Alford-Egremont Cultural Council. Along with supporting established programs, your Cultural Council is always looking for new ideas which benefit our local community. If you have an inspiration for a program, plan a date and a location for your event and then go to www.massculturalcouncil.org to apply for a grant. The grant applications are due Oct. 15 so start thinking now. If you have an idea and are not sure it will fit or need more help filling out the application, please contact Hilary Penglase at penglase@verizon.net or Susan Bachelder at 413-528-6505. We look forward to hearing from you.


Egremont Garden Club:

2nd Annual Presentation on Famous Berkshire Gardens:

            On Wednesday, Sept. 17, meet Mabel Choate, the heiress and developer of Naumkeg, and Fletcher Steele, her landscape architect and close personal friend, as they discuss, over their nightly cocktails, how this famous Berkshire garden developed and grew under their tutelage. In this 2nd annual lecture on Famous Gardens of the Berkshires presented by The Egremont Garden Club, Mabel will be portrayed by Mari Andrejco, professional actress and gardener, and Fletcher Steele by Gordon Clark, historical horticulturist and supervisor of the Naumkeg grounds for over 10 years. Slides of the present gardens will illustrate the results of these two strong collaborators.

            The Egremont Garden Club welcomes all Berkshire residents and friends to their fall series. The presentation will be held at the Bushnell-Sage Library Meeting Room in Sheffield, MA at 2 p.m. Refreshments will be served, and there will be a fabulous raffle highlighted by the book Berkshire Houses of the Gilded Age, gift certificates, antique china, and items from the Naumkeg gift shop. Imbibers might appreciate winning a complete martini set. A donation of $10 which includes three raffle tickets is asked with proceeds to go the club’s community beautification work.

Date: Wednesday, Sept. 17

Time: 2p.m.

Place: Bushnell-Sage Library, 48 Main Street, Sheffield
