In Albany the State Court of Appeals refused to change venue for Robert F. Garrow Sr. His murder trial will begin May 8 in Hamilton County. Garrow’s Syracuse lawyer argued pre trial publicity and a large Adirondacks manhunt made a fair trial unlikely. Garrow was captured after a 12 day manhunt and is charged in the killing of a Schenectady youth on a camping trip. A separate murder in the area is not charged.

After a two hour meeting with Mayor Dobelle, New York developer George H. Nutman signaled readiness to proceed with a $20 million downtown Berkshire shopping center. Nutman accused the mayor of hedging on endorsement, citing land and architect costs while noting renewed issues.

Berkshire pilots replace fire towers in two year test
Pittsfield reports only one of five Berkshire County fire stations is staffed as a two year Department of Natural Resources experiment uses a single small airplane to scan county from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. District Fire Warden Francis Messner says aerial surveillance costs about the same as staffing towers and may reduce costs long term. Aerial spotting helps locate smoke and guide ground crews. The change followed legislative funding cuts that eliminated four tower positions in the Berkshire budget.
