Thinking about taking a class?
7 places to learn something new
BY ELLEN SPEAR >> BerkshiresWeek
We’re all headed for more time indoors. Want to make the most of winter? Ever wanted to learn to act? Be a clown? Understand more about 18th century women? Play an instrument?
You can find a class in all of these subjects and more offered by Berkshires organizations. Why not start a season of self-improvement? There is no shortage of places where you can take classes — just one, or serious semesters of learning throughout the Berkshires. Here are 7 places to expand your mind in the coming months.
berkshire music school
30 Wendell Ave., Pittsfield
Students at this Pittsfield school can take private, group or ensemble classes. There are classes for all ages on a range of instruments. They say if you don’t see an instrument or type of music class you’d like to take, ask them.
berkshire pulse
420 Park St., Housatonic
Want to get those feet moving? Berkshire Pulse has dance classes for the serious student to those who want to dip a toe in (see what we did there?) and try some new things. Community classes are generally for all levels, and you can find everything from hip hop to adult pointe and choreography.
kripalu center for yoga and health
57 Interlaken Road, Stockbridge
This venerable institution high on a hill in Stockbridge with a commanding view is the place for all sorts of yoga, meditation and mindfulness. You can stay at the center for silent retreats, specialized yoga workshops, a weekend of R & R or community classes with special pricing for yearround Berkshire residents.

Smashing pumpkins take over Butternut
BY ELLEN SPEAR BerkshiresWeek
Before the words “I’m bored” have a chance to slip by the precious lips of your little ones, check out the Truck Day/Pumpkin Fest coming Sunday, Oct. 20 at Ski Butternut in Great Barrington. It’s our pick for a great family day out and about.
Pricing is by the carload so you can stuff your little darlings in the car, along with as many of their friends as will fit, to enjoy a day of outdoor activities including ogling more than 40 trucks, race cars and other representatives of the four-tired species.
great barrington rotary club truck day/
Since everybody likes to watch pumpkins smashing, there will be a pumpkin drop and even a truck pull in which you and your brood can participate.
I’m glad you asked about duck races. Yes, they will be part of the day, along with music, face, car and pumpkin painting, food and drink to keep everyone fueled.
Monster trucks, race cars, family activities, food and music are all part of the Truck Day and Pumpkin Fest on Sunday.
PHOTOS BY GILLIAN HECK — THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE People watch as a 500-pound pumpkin splashes into a pool of water, after it is dropped from a giant crane during the Rotary Club’s Truck Day and Pumpkinfest at Ski Butternut last year.

Benefits of Blueberries
A compound known as anthocyanin gives blueberries their color but also contributes to their nutritious properties. Consumption of foods that are high in anthocyanin can help individuals lower their risk of developing coronary heart disease, according to studies noted by The Mayo Clinic. In addition, blueberries are a good source of vitamin C and dietary fiber.

Green Spaces = Better Cognitive Development
Green spaces can have a profoundly positive impact on adults and children alike.
Researchers at the University of Chicago found that… • Green spaces near schools promote cognitive development in children.
• Visible green spaces near children’s homes promote behaviors associated with self-control.
• Adults assigned to public housing units in neighborhoods with more green space were more capable of effectively performing daily activities requiring attention than those assigned to units with less access to natural environments.
