“VOTED: That the Berkshire Hills Regional School District hereby appropriates the amount of $152,067,064 for the purpose of paying costs of the Monument Mountain Regional High School Project in the Berkshire Hills Regional School District (the “District”) to replace the existing Monument Mountain Regional High School with a new facility serving students in grades 9-12 on the site of the existing school at 600 Stockbridge Road, Great Barrington, including the payment of all costs incidental or related thereto (the “Project”), which school facility shall have an anticipated useful life as an educational facility for the instruction of school children of at least 50 years, and for which the District may be eligible for a school construction grant from the Massachusetts School Building Authority (“MSBA”), said amount to be expended at the direction of the School Building Committee and the Berkshire Hills Regional School District School Committee.

In all the excitement surrounding Halloween, it can be easy to overlook potential dangers faced by pets each year. Take a moment to review these safety tips to help ensure a fun-filled holiday and prevent any real scares!
•Keep candy out of reach from pets. Xylitol sweeteners and chocolate in particular can be toxic to dogs and cats.
•Keep pets inside and away from the front door for their security and the safety of trick-ortreaters.
•Costume carefully if you’re dressing up your pet, taking care not to restrict their movement, vision, hearing or ability to breathe. If your pet is distressed by wearing a costume, remove it immediately.
•Make sure your pet is microchipped and wearing a collar with identification tags to help ensure his or her safe return in the event of a Halloween escape.
•Keep candle-lit jack-o-lanterns and other candles a safe distance from pets who may knock them over or burn themselves.

Who couldn't use a little more closet space at home? As individuals accumulate more belongings, they need places to store all of these items. While modern homes may be built with extra storage in mind, older homes often place a premium on closet space. Homes built earlier than the 1980s may have small closets in bedrooms and only one or two additional closets around the home for linens and other items.
The most obvious solution to a lack of closet space is to build more closets. But too often home floor plans cannot accommodate new closets. Therefore, homeowners may have to get creative to maximize their space.
Sort and discard. Individuals can take some time to empty closets and assess what is in them. Sometimes more space can come from simply thinning out belongings that are no longer used. Take off the plastic coverings on dry cleaning and discard bulky shoe boxes.
Pair shelves with rods. For those with enough space, hanging a few shelves in unused areas in the closet can provide more storage space. If there is sufficient space above the rod, install a shelf and place seldom-used items up high.
Get a closet system. A customized closet system will certainly provide the best chances to maximize closet space. These companies will measure the closet and assess the contents to draw up a design that will give homeowners what they need. Closet systems also can adjust and grow with lifestyle changes.
Invest in thinner hangers. Clothes hangers come in all types, but the thinnest and most durable ones tend to be the no-slip velvet variety. Such hangers keep garments from slipping off and feature an ultra-thin design, says Real Simple magazine.
Use storage containers. Grouping items together and condensing them can free up space.
Choose other storage solutions. In addition to closets, people can identify other spaces to store items. This can include bins under beds, storage benches or ottomans, the back sides of doors, or in furniture with built-in drawers. Individuals also can purchase free-standing closets or armoires that can fill in when rooms do not have enough closet space or no closet at all.
Maximizing closet space comes down to some creativity, de-cluttering and utilizing additional furniture to meet needs. FH259134
