Value vs Saleabilty by Lynn Arseneau
Dear Lynn, We’re selling our house and we were told that because of the Covid 19 the fire department is not inspecting smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors prior to closing. We also heard that money will have to be held back to pay for the smoke detectors and the cost of the inspection certificate, as much as $500 possibly. Is there any way around this? Signed, Harvard
Q
Dear Lynn, How much value is added to my house if I’ve painted the interior, fixed holes in the walls, cleaned everything very
Q
well and repaired things that are broken like windows and a few broken doors? We also planted some flowers and had the driveway sealed. Signed, Busy in Becket Dear Busy, It’s great that you’re doing these things to maintain your home. Home ”maintenance” certainly helps to support the “value” of the for-sale price you set for your home. With that being said, the items you’ve described don’t add “value.” Your efforts add “salability” to your home. Freshening up, cleaning, making repairs, adding curb appeal are wonderful ways to prepare your house to sell. Adding value to a home would include updating kitchens and baths, adding square footage to the home, adding insulation that lowers heating and cooling costs, adding a garage or finishing a basement, just to name a few. This is a great website that you can visit that may help you as well: www.daveramsey. com/blog/how-to-increase-home-value.

our bikes the colors yellow and red, virus colors to represent that it won’t keep us down!” “So, we wanted to tear down a wall to make a bigger dining room. Our home is old and has been in the family for generations. Quarantining gave us the motivation to go for it. In the wall we found an envelope with $25,000 worth of savings bonds!” “We’ve never had a garden, we have no idea what we’re doing, BUT stuff is growing! We don’t know what most of it is but it’s GROWING!” “We’ve it a goal to eat outside every single day, even if it’s snowy, cold or rainy. We make it work no matter what! Beach umbrellas and heating pads helped!” “We have been helping our neighbors that are elderly.” “I went down the street and if anyone’s lawn needed mowing badly, I mowed it for them.” “TV is OFF until 9. We spend time together talking, looking at old photo albums, cooking, and doing something nice for a neighbor each week.” “My 5-year-old granddaughter insisted that we weed the volleyball court at a local park so ‘there would be sports’…so we did!” “We see more of our grown kids on Skype and Zoom than we did in person last year.” “I convinced my husband to let me cut his hair. Let’s just say, I won’t be getting a stylist job any time in the near future or at least until the bleeding stops.”

Hi Harvard, What you’ve heard is correct however, the good news is that the inspectors from the Pittsfield Fire Department are resuming inspections for smoke and CO detectors starting on June 15th. If this is indeed the plan then as the seller, you will be responsible ( as has been the practice) for installing them and having them inspected then you have the certificate for your closing. You can go to https://www.mass.gov/doc/consumer-guide-tosmoke-detectors-when-selling-home/download and view the pamphlet regarding what type of detectors you can use and installation/location instructions.

Congratulations! You have been selected for an exclusive reward! Sounds great — “Selected!” “Exclusive!” (Wow!) Who can resist the opportunity? You click on the email, revealing that “an exclusive reward of up to $100” awaits, and from the Amazon logo you make a logical assumption: “I can get a $100 reward from Amazon? What’s the harm? All I need to do is click where it says ‘Take the Survey.’ “ A primal urge — greed — kicks in. You don’t bother checking the sender’s email address or the “reply to” address. Not important— and besides, I’m getting $100. You don’t even try to read the extremely small gray print at the bottom of the message, which says, “This rewards program is not sponsored by, endorsed, or affiliated with and does not claim to represent or own any of the trademarks that are the property of Amazon who does not own, endorse, or promote this website.” Instead, you click the link and a survey appears with seemingly innocent questions that often request basic demographics, such as age,
race, gender, number and ages of family members, employment and income. Next comes a series of odd questions that may ask for preferences about food, automobiles, electronics, vacations or pastimes. Finally, you get your reward. Wait — it’s not $100. Instead, you are offered a series of items, including magazine subscriptions, that supposedly are worth “at least” the amount promised. By now, you’ve wasted more than a half-hour, so, you close the browser and walk away. At least you didn’t lose anything — or did you? At best, you gave a data broker a treasure-trove of information about you. At worst, you surrendered key personal information to be used by scammers. Data brokers are generally legitimate businesses that sell personal information to small businesses and large corporations. Your data is valuable and can be used to target marketing. Often, your responses result in the appearance of pop-up ads on computer search engines, web pages and emails. As for the criminal who may

LENOX — The long-delayed Elm Court resort project has won a second green light, this time from the Lenox zoning board, for a two-year extension of its special permit. Following in the footsteps of the Stockbridge Select Board last month, the Lenox Zoning Board of Appeals gave property owner Front Yard LLC the Pausing this Sunday to clean out go-ahead to continue seeking my notebooks. financing to expand the 1886 If you missed our Eagle estate atConver310 Old Stockbridge League Baseball sation with MajorRoad into a boutique hotel unCommissioner Emeritus Selig, der the Bud banner of the Denverit was quite a night. based Amstar Group’s TravaaAnd, of course, sa when you talk Resorts. Experiential about baseball, it always tends to circle its way back to the “Birthplace” of the game. Selig’s Milwaukee Brewers might not have gotten to the World Series were it not for a pair of Western Massachusetts guys — Harry Howard Dalton from Herman Springfield and Designated Dan Duquette from Hitter Dalton. “Harry Dalton was a really great executive,” Selig said. “I got him in 1977 for ‘78 season. He was here 15 years — no, more than that, 16 years. [Dalton was a] great general manager, we had a lot of success. I believe, really, you can make a compelling case for Harry to be considered for the Hall of Fame.” Dalton went to Amherst College, and by 1980, had hired a former Wahconah Regional High School catcher and linebacker, who played baseball for the legendary Bill Thurston at Amherst. “Dan Duquette, I remember as a young kid,” Selig said during our interview. “Harry hired another Amherst kid. Dan and I would oftentimes be the last guys left after a night game. I would be working. Dan would be working. We established a great relationship.” Duquette left Milwaukee for Montreal, eventually became the general manager of the Expos before getting his dream job as general manager of the Red Sox. While Duquette never actually got to celebrate a World Series championship, he did help Dalton build a 1982 World Series team in Milwaukee, and Duquette laid the foundation for the 2004 and 2007 Red Sox championship teams. “He turned out to be a really good executive. He had some tough times,” Selig said. “One thing about having a career in baseball — you’re going to have good times and you’re going to have bad times.”
The existing, and now extended, permit allows for a 112-unit hotel on the 90-acre estate, including 16 existing suites in the Gilded Age mansion. The additional 96 rooms would be in a connected annex. Although 87 acres of the site lie in Stockbridge, both towns are required to issue permits since 3 acres of frontage and an entrance are in Lenox. A twoyear extension was approved by Stockbridge on July 23. After intensely questioning Front Yard’s local attorney, Nicholas Arienti, over the future prospects of the dormant estate, the Lenox ZBA voted
5-0 on Monday to extend the special permit until September 2022. Last summer, the board granted a one-year extension. Arienti emphasized the ongoing open-market financing challenges facing the developer because of the coronavirus pandemic — “a real lockup of the market, primarily the type of real estate lending geared toward hospitality.”
The application, approved in September 2014 by Stockbridge and in June 2015 by Lenox, was challenged unsuccessfully in Massachusetts Land Court by a group of neighbors. The lawsuit, then taken to the state Court of Appeals, was settled privately between the neighbors and Front Yard in November 2017. The existing, and now extended, permit allows for a 112-unit hotel on the 90-acre estate, including 16 existing suites in the Gilded Age mansion. The additional 96 rooms would be in a connected annex. The plan includes a 60-seat public restaurant and 15,000-square-foot spa. ELM COURT, Page 3

The Berkshire Eagle PITTSFIELD — First, he was Spaceship; now, he’s Benny. He’s the 6-month-old puppy that Kayla Wixsom and her family brought home Wednesday from the Berkshire Humane Society. Wixsom and her fiance decided to surprise their kids with the addition to the household after seeing a picture of the pup on social media. “They’ve been wanting a dog, so, when we saw the ad on the Facebook page, we decided to apply and see if there was a dog that fit our family,” Wixsom said. Benny arrived at the Berkshire Humane Society in Pittsfield last week, one of 28 dogs that traveled by plane from the South to Worcester, then by van to Pittsfield. The transportation was part of a program to move dogs from overflowing shelters to ones where they are in high demand, organized by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

The House is moving forward with debate over 217 amendments to a police reform bill that faces charges from some who say it doesn’t do enough for racial justice and others who say it had too little law enforcement input. Proponents say more time and testimony have made the House bill an improvement over a Senate bill criticized for moving too quickly. The bill seeks to strengthen use-of-force restrictions and start a system for offi ficer training, certifi fication and decertifi fication, but the House version doesn’t go as far as the Senate’s in limiting the controversial practice of “qualifi fied immunity.” “The House had the benefi fit of more time, and that was really helpful to take the time to be able to get input from the various stakeholders,” said state Rep.

put a crimp into athletes of high school or prep school age and their efforts to line up opportunities at the next level. “It’s been a super-odd summer, because obviously, I was expecting to get most of my [college] recruiting done in spring and early summer,” Noah Helmke said. “No colleges were really able to watch me live.” Helmke, a Great Barrington resident and a rising senior at Berkshire School in Sheffield described how most of his recruiting was done McArdle electronically. “There were a lot of phone calls, a lot of Zoom conferences with different colleges,” the 6-foot-6 wing said. “That was most of my recruiting.” It ended up paying off for Helmke, who earlier in the week announced that he was committing to the admissions process at Division III Amherst College.

Information: brightideasbrewing.com large tent in the center of Courtyard A opened in unison with the reopening of the museum at the beginning of July. Visitors can choose to order from A-OK Berkshire BBQ or nosh on warm pretzels during their sociallydistanced visit. Brewer Danny Sump and his assistants continue to brew a wide selection of beers, including Bright Ideas’ latest offering, Bear Hatchet — a 7.3 percent ABV IPA with a light tropical and berry taste — a reference to the viral 2015 Facebook post “Chasing bears through the woods drunk with a dull hatchet is strongly not advised”
by the North Adams Police Department. Other offerings include Black is Beautiful, a 7 percent ABV chocolately, roasty American stout made as part of the worldwide collaboration with Weathered Souls Brewing Company – a black owned brewery in San Antonio; Lil’ Bling, a 4.8 percent ABV gluten-reduced session beer; Sour Splash: Tangerine, a kettle sour beer flavored with tangerine; Blackinton Best Bitter, a low-alcohol British bitter beer; Undercast IPA, a New England IPA; Crew Beer, a red ale and Mack Attack, a soft, lightly tropical New England IPA. Patrons are asked to pick up a menu at the barrel outside the brewery door before choosing from one of the available clean tables in the courtyard, where a server will take and deliver orders.. The tables, spaced 6 feet apart, are limited to six people and have a two-hour time limit. Not ready to drink in a socially-distanced space? Don’t worry, Bright Ideas is still providing curbside pick up. Barrington Brewery & Restaurant in Great Barrington is using the same outdoor biergarten space it has for the past 25 years, according to owner Gary Happ. “It has hops growing up a wall and flowers, and is in a courtyard between three barns,” he said. Happ said he believes a good biergarten has food and beer in a nice tented area. “We have a nice selection of food and beer brewed on the property,” he said. “It’s a nice outdoor dining space.” Barrington Brewery’s biergarten offers 10 beers on tap (all brewed on site), table service and “a nice menu that people enjoy,” Happ said. “Home-crafted beer and some food to go with it. “We had 30 tables inside before [the pandemic], we have 12 now,” he said. “The biergarten is extremely popular this year. Everybody wants to eat outside, no matter what.” While having a biergarten isn’t a huge change for Barrington Brewery, many other things are. The restaurant’s menu is smaller, and a take-out menu and take-out window has been added to a business that once discouraged take-out orders, pre-pandemic. According to Happ, the brewery is doing about 60 percent of its pre-COVID business. “Nothing’s the same since the pandemic began,” he said. “We’ve pared our menu down; it’s a third of what we used to have.” For Sommer, the outdoor option has also proved to be successful in this time of uncertainty “The biergarten and take-out service saved us,” Sommer said. “People are enjoying the biergarten and it’s helped us out a lot.”

Councilor’s comments spark ire BY CHRISTOPHER PARKER The Berkshire Eagle NORTH ADAMS — City Councilman and School
Committee member Robert R. Moulton Jr. has drawn the ire of three of his colleagues after referring to Black Lives Matter as a “terrorist organization” and dismissing the impacts of the coronavirus as “minuscule.” Councilors Marie T. Harpin and Jessica Sweeney denounced the statements, which were made this week on Moulton’s talk show on Northern Berkshire Community Television. Councilor Jason LaForMoulton est also decried the comments in a social media post. “Our role as city councilors is to be listening to our communities and our larger community, and I firmly believe that those comments don’t refl flect a true listening effort,” Sweeney said. Moulton, who has served six terms on the North Adams City Council, hosts a show called “Let’s Talk About It.” On Tuesday, it was co-hosted by Ed Morandi, who was sitting in as co-host for former City Councilor Ron Boucher.
