Salmon display marks captive birth at Berkshire hatchery
An Atlantic salmon caught at Holyoke dam on the Connecticut River is shown at Berkshire National Fish Hatchery in New Marlborough Mass. A dark brand on its side proves it was born in captivity and stocked in a Connecticut River tributary. The fish embodies over a decade of salmon restoration efforts and $40 million in funding. At 23 pounds it is valued at about $1.75 million per pound. Its sperm or eggs will be used to create a new inland strain in the Connecticut where salmon once thrived.

Mt Anthony Union School Board boosted the 1976 77 budget by about 7500 and delayed the budget vote to August 3 to allow the curriculum committee to study ad hoc recommendations.

Boiler replacement at the junior high and heating repairs plus a stage lighting part accounted for 18,000, with fuel cost increases estimated at 10,000.
