Altamira Ciderworks, Mystic Cat pinball lounge, music with Jake Klar

We’ve got three tales of veterans returning to the scene, including a whole festival, because this weekend is Franklin County Cider Days, a great time even at a smaller scale than its previous largess. We head to one of the newest cideries in the area, Altamira Ciderworks, where two cidermakers alike in virtue are combining their powers in different styles of cider. We’ll get a tour of their burgeoning orchard and cidery in Gill.

Letter: Clear ADU Rules Will Add Homes to Our Community in a Way That Works for Everyone

The following letter was sent to the Amherst Planning Board and the Town Council’s Community Resources Committee on Nov. 9, 2026. As a District 4 resident, I support accessory dwelling units. A small apartment can help an older parent stay close to family, give an adult child a place to live, or bring in rental income that helps a homeowner stay in Amherst. Thank you for working to clarify the bylaw. I’m asking you to draw a clear line on what counts toward the size limit and to ask Beacon Hill for the flexibility to address Amherst’s housing pressures.

That Which Rips Your Heart With Joy

In “Solo Native,” the opening poem of his third collection, Sunday (1979), Thomas Lux imagines the very first human—“the one thing upright / on hind legs, an imaginer, / an interested transient”—emerging from a primeval idyll. It’s a place where “the crabs walk sideways / as they were taught by the waves.” Solo Native settles “in a hut on the green and gray belly / of the veldt” and dances his dance “in the dirt-colored dirt.” Then, one day, everything everywhere changes at once:

Letter: Insufficient Notice for Scheduled Power Outage Endangered Residents

The following letter was sent to the Amherst Town Council on November 9, 2026. I would like to add my voice to the others dismayed by the way power was cut to move a house on Oct. 29. As I understand it, the developer agreed to provide paper notices in advance to all residences in the affected area. Most of us did not receive this advance warning. It is not sufficient to say that it was in the newspaper – that is no guarantee of coverage. Many of our neighbors require electricity for health and safety reasons – Oxygen, CPAP, heat, illumination for folks with limited mobility, etc. I have none of those conditions, and I still walked into a wall. The lack of notice meant I hadn’t had a flashlight handy.
