Mountain Streams and Big Salamanders Presentation
12:17PM / Thursday, May 05, 2022
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — On Thursday, May 5 at 6 PM, Tom Tyning will give a presentation on the amphibians and other organisms that use small mountain streams — the source of every lake, pond, stream, and brook.    Rich in oxygen and with temperatures that remain chilled throughout summer, these First- and Second-order streams make up an ecological community that is fairly unique on our landscape. Tyning will go into the importance of these headwater streams and how the species that rely on them for survival are at risk due to a lack of conservation.    He will speak for 30-45 minutes, then a discussion and Q&A period will take place. This event will be held

Sales of Nip Bottles Could Be Banned in Pittsfield
By Brittany Polito, iBerkshires Staff
04:52AM / Wednesday, May 04, 2022

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — City officials are considering nixing nip bottles. 

The 50 millilitre bottles of alcohol are not returnable and often can't be recycled because of their tiny size. And they are a frequent component of litter along the streets.  

Local attorney Rinaldo Del Gallo III, who successfully initiated the single-use plastic bag ban, is petitioning the City Council to ban the sale of nips.

The Ordinances and Rules subcommittee on Monday referred the petition to City Solicitor Stephen Pagnotta so that he can review it and give feedback at next month’s meeting.

"I hereby petition the Pittsfield City Council to ban the sale of alcoholic
