Mayor Tyer asks city, visitors for continued vigilance

BY NOAH HOFFENBERG Sponsored content editor PITTSFIELD — The city’s “Bring Back the Joys of Life” billboards might be coming down, but its message to end COVID-19 will continue on with the help of the Pittsfield Police Department.

The awareness campaign, originally a six-week effort, was designed to offer inspiration through

ONLINE

the pandemic. With clear and simple messaging, it encouraged all Pittsfield residents and visitors to keep doing their part so that we can all, once again, experience the joys of life.

The billboards, which went up Jan. 11, were set to be taken down on Feb. 22.

But, says Mayor Linda Tyer, the message to Bring Back the Joys of Life will continue, with “wraps,”

or banners, now displayed on the rear windshields of 20 department police cars.

“Now, we have mobile billboards traveling all over the city of Pittsfield,” says Tyer.

The campaign kicked off in January at a critical time for the city, as it was still grappling with ripple effects from a coronavirus surge that began in October, notes Tyer.

“We have come through the other side of that. I’m cautiously optimistic that we’re going to be able to maintain it. It requires us to adhere to all the things we know that work,” Tyer says.

“Wear a mask, keep your distance, wash your hands, stay home, don’t gather with groups you don’t live with, and please, get your vaccination when you’re eligible.”

Even with vaccinations, people in the city should still maintain all of the protocols that have kept us safe, she says.

“We’re not there yet, but we can do a lot right now to continue to protect ourselves and get us to the point where we’re actually bringing back the joys of life and not just dreaming about it,” says Tyer.

PROGRAM FILLED RIGHT UP Heavy recruitment wasn’t needed for the program, as it filled quickly after a series of info sessions.

“We were able to talk to the students, and tell them about our goals and objectives, and help people understand if they would be a good fit for the program,” says Richards.

Virtual info sessions were held via Zoom in the run up to class registration time. These sessions will return again in the summer, before the third cohort comes aboard.

Berkshire Community College. In the program, students

take classes that center around commerce and botany, wrapping up with an internship at Berkshire Roots. For some, that results in employment at Berkshire Roots and other cannabis operations. cannabis industry. There were guest lectures from industry experts, including Cannabis Control Commission Chairman Steve Hoffman, who delivered a lecture and held a Q&A session with students.

“It’s really rare to have the leader of the commission right in the room with you,” adds Richards.

Students also take a communication class, as well as a biopsychology class. In the latter, they learn about the interactions between the brain and different cannabis-derived chemicals.

“That helped the students get a foundation on how substances work.

Cannabis is a controlled substance, so the class emphasizes the importance of knowing what those interactions might be before you’re offering guidance to customers or patients,” notes Richards.

IN THE SPRING In the spring semester, enrollees take more cannabis-specific courses, such as a cannabis science course, created specifically for the program, in which they learn about all things cannabis.

Students also learn about Massachusetts regu-

lations, and gain a deeper understanding of the properties of cannabis, how it grows and how it interacts with the body, and the history of cannabis and its co-evolution with humans.

The certificate program also resurrected a botany class that hadn’t been held at BCC since 1987. It gives students some insight into what it takes to grow and maintain growing environments for different kinds of plants; they then apply that knowledge to the maintenance and cultivation of cannabis plants.

SUMMERTIME INTERNSHIP Come summertime, students begin the final phase of the program, an internship at Berkshire Roots.

“It adds to that spirit of a holistic introduction to the cannabis industry,” says Richards. It’s a three-credit program, with each credit attached to 15 hours of working alongside different professionals at Berkshire Roots in their areas of expertise.

Over six weeks, students do rotations in different departments, from cultivation, trimming, manufacturing and packaging, as well as in the extraction lab, kitchen and in the retail store. There are even some opportunities to per-

‘WE DIDN’T WANT TO LIMIT THEM’ Graduates aren’t obligated to work at Berkshire Roots; they can take their new-found skills and knowledge elsewhere, if they want.

“We didn’t want to limit them. There was no commitment to applying for a position at Berkshire Roots,” says Richards.

Students looking for a reference can receive letters from the company, too, in case they are looking for more schooling or employment elsewhere.

But, students do learn what’s expected of them, should they land a job with the company.

“Throughout the practicum, we were giving feedback to the students regularly after every shift, so they could understand what would be required of them at Berkshire Roots,” says Richards. “We were able to take on quite a few students from that first cohort.”

For the Berkshires, for the business and the college, “it was a win, win, win all around.”

For more information or to register for an information session, contact Ambriz at gambriz@ berkshirecc.edu; Schickor at fschicko@berkshirecc. edu; or Berkshire Roots directly at careers@berkshireroots.com. Students must be 21 years old to register.

MEDIUM BOX AD

Second Homeowners in the Area

300 PX X 250 PX

And Area Classified Advertisers Those folks, whose hard-earned dollars swell the till of your cash register during the season, stay in touch with life in the Berkshires and Taconics by way of the website shoppersguideinc.com. The attraction? The commercial conversation we have among ourselves on the pages of every issue of the Shopper’s Guide. It turns out that the area’s second homeowners, be they in Brooklyn or Brookline, want to listen in.

MEDIUM BOX AD 300 PX X 250 PX

You can reach this very special audience through an ad on the Shopper’s Guide website. A 728 x 90px leaderboard ad or a 300 x 250px medium box ad are priced right. Sold by the thousands of impressions, either a leaderboard or a medium box ad will connect you with just the customer you seek. And like radio, both ads can be “dayparted” to reach early risers, midday movers, or late-afternoon shakers, ready to spend their money on the goods or service you offer.

Daisy is a six-year-old spayed treeing walker coonhound who was surrendered because she did not get along with other dogs in the household. Daisy may look like a beagle, but she is taller and wider – at almost 90 pounds she needs some exercise to lose some weight!

Daisy loves to romp around outside and then come inside and cuddle in comfort. She should go to a home without other dogs or small children, but cats may be OK. Please call 413-447-7878 ext. 126.
