Rain Eases Forest Fire Hazard In Berkshire Region
The Berkshires saw overnight rain easing forest fire risk though reservoirs stay strained. About 0.1 inch fell, first measurable rain in 22 days, with 79 83 degree highs earlier in October. Woods remain closed and no permits issued as officials expect intermittent showers and a return to seasonal temperatures. Farmers report mixed impacts on hay and roughage supplies across the state. Hunting season may extend after woods reopen if the ban lifts by deer season.

Court to rule on citizenship loss for naturalized Americans
The Supreme Court will decide if a section of the Immigration and Naturalization Law that strips naturalized Americans of citizenship after a long stay in their country of origin is constitutional. Plaintiff Angelika Schneider, born in Bavaria in 1934, argued the provision imposes cruel and unusual punishment. A three judge district court upheld the law 2-1, citing Congress power over foreign affairs.
