The paper is jam-packed with news this week, what with elections approaching and all. There are lots of candidate profiles (available at tcextra.com on the individual town pages) and an explainer by yours truly on the procedures associated with write-in votes (some of which may surprise you). Also, see the LJ’s endorsements in the local elections.

A forum on conservation and fighting sprawl was held in Great Barrington and biodiesel is (or will soon be) available in Cornwall. Meanwhile, the Housatonic volleyball team is tops in its division and legendary attorney Catherine Roraback is dead at 87.

Inside the A section I wrote an extensive piece on the fact that the Dean Meadow property is back on the market for a whopping $5 million, and the controversy and disagreements that surround the prized property. And Ryan Snyder has a fine piece about the Sharon Housing Trust’s first sale.

Lastly, there are several profiles on the superintendents’ award winners in all the Region One schools (too many links to list here).
