As previously noted, we recently spoke with Berkshire County District Attorney, Andrea Harrington. In the interview she covered an array of topics and issues facing the Berkshires. One of the topics we covered was a pilot program - Service Emotional Learning for Elementary Students. This program is part of Harrington s office s Juvenile Justice Initiative.
Harrington described the initiative along with the pilot program
Our goal is to keep kids out of the justice system but more importantly to give young people the tools that they need to thrive and be successful here in our community. Early on in my term, we visited Conte school and we spoke with the principal and met with the PTO

Two Buffalo charter schools are suing the School Board in order to remain open. Westminster Community Charter School and Enterprise Charter School have filed suit against the Buffalo Board of Education in the New York Supreme Court. Westminster and Enterprise hope to keep their two schools, which serve economically disadvantaged students, open. The Buffalo Public Schools Board voted on March 31, 2021, to close the two schools. The decision impacts approximately 950 students in grades kindergarten through 8th. Westminster and Enterprise said, in a media release I received, the decision to close them creates disruption for students and parents, as it came too late for families to apply to other charter schools. It also says that the decision will cause students to have to enroll in schools that are underperforming - noting that its two schools have better test scores than 25 schools in BPS.
2020 was a difficult year for many Iowans. Health issues and empoyment issues were the two major issues associated with COVID-19. While health is always the most important, employment needs to be high on any family s list as we all need to pay the bills and keep food on our tables. If you are an employee of John Deere, Iowa’s largest manufacturing employer, 2021 has been kind to your employer so far.
John Deere reported a net income of over three billion so far
In only about six months, Radio Iowa reports the farm equipment giant has reported a solid net income of over three billion. This compares to only 1.2 billion in 2020. John Deere reported strong second-quarter net sales. Sales were up 34-percent, as net income was almost $1.8 billion dollars for the quarter. That compared to $666 million from the quarter that ended a year ago shows very strong growth year-over-year.
