Only in The Republic of Amherst: This Blessed Day
http://onlyintherepublicofamherst.blogspot.com/2015/08/this-blessed-day.html
Saturday, August 8, 2015. Bikes line up in front of McGuirk Stadium. The weather this morning could not be any more blessed for a long motorcycle ride. And with AFD Chaplain Bruce Arbour's official blessing under their belts the 19 riders who left from UMass McGuirk Stadium are sure to have a blessed ride over the 100 mile course. The blessing of the bikes. Riders exited onto University Drive. If today is any indication, memories of David Bennett Sr. will live on for a very long time. A Lot Off The Top.

Only in The Republic of Amherst: Well I Love That Dirty Water
http://onlyintherepublicofamherst.blogspot.com/2015/08/well-i-love-that-dirty-water.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. Well I Love That Dirty Water. Umass Campus Center Pond this morning. Students returning to our beloved UMass campus over the next few weeks will find a (hopefully) cleaner Campus Center Pond, as contractors are now performing "hydro-raking" at the behest of the Physical Plant as part of their pond maintenance program. Although, safe to say, the Campus Center Pond will never rival Puffer's Pond as a swimming hole. August 6, 2015 at 10:25 AM. August 6, 2015 at 12:01 PM. Keep the s...

Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Pelham Reservoir owned by Town of Amherst (so don't mess with it). The reawakening of Baby Carriage water treatment plant combined with the firing up of Well #4 is one sure sign the summer has turned a corner and we are now streaking towards the students return to reawaken our sleepy little college town. Scenic Baby Carriage Treatment Plant, South East Street. I'll let DPW Chief Guilford Mooring do the explaining:. What does flasher mean in terms of water? Larry, the untold story...

Only in The Republic of Amherst: Breach? What Breach?
http://onlyintherepublicofamherst.blogspot.com/2015/08/breath-what-breach.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. Attorney Regina W. Tate. So at $225/hour I guess it's a good thing that the Public Schools attorney Regina Tate is so succinct. Her not overly prompt response to the NAACP complaint about a "substantial breach" of the 1993 "Consent Decree" was certainly short and to the point. NAACP complaint Amherst Schools. Labels: amherst school committee. August 4, 2015 at 4:26 PM. August 4, 2015 at 4:31 PM. Uppity. Fuck em. Groups like this create walls and division. August 5, 2015 at 9:02 AM.
