COMMUNITY Where T e Bus Twenty-one years ago, five towns in Southern Berkshire tAlford, Egre- mont, Monterey, New Marlborough, and Sheffieldb began busing 7-12 stu- dents to Mount Everett Regional School. Since that time, our district buses have traveled probably in ex- cess of 4 million miles. Most students are not enthusiastic about riding bus- es, but at least they have some credit- able scenery to view on the way to school and coming back home. In order to get some shots of buses and commu- nity, I got up early one October morning and drove to school. I was driving down Route 23 in South Egremont, and there it was . . . a bus! I pulled over and jumped out of the car. Using a Nikon, I managed to get the camera settings and the picture just in time, Smiley's Pond made a beautiful upside-down frame, and the ducks made the picture really complete. Mike Lewis took the picture of a bus going up Coo- per Hill in Sheffield Cbottom leftl, and I got the shot of a group of kids getting on the bus in the village of South Egremont Cbottom middlel. On that occasion, after I turned around, I saw another bus going by The Olde Mill tbottom rightl. I was pulled over by the library in Egremont getting a few pictures when I saw a bus coming, I got a shot of it down the road, then I had to wait to see where it was going. It came at mel I ran down the road in front of the bus in order to slow it down. I stopped, turned, and got another shot. Then I waited for the kids to get on the bus and got another shot. Finally I stepped out of the way and allowed the bus to go by and caught one last shot tsee pictures far left, page 65. Some kids get taken through Alford Center: I got the shot of Alford Center school right at dusk tpage 6, top rightl. In New Marlborough there are a lot of hills: up this one you can follow a path to a church tpage 6, upper middlel. The sun was hanging low in the sky in Ashley Falls when the picture of two houses was taken flower middleig if you look close you might be able to see a girl on a bicycle. A fisherman at Lake Carfild in Monterey ignored me as I took his picture tbottoml. The golf course at jug End was very quiet when I went by one Friday afternoon tpage T, top lefti. Where do buses go during off hours This one went to Boardmans house on County Road in Sheffield flop riglitl, Finally the buses take us right to the sidewall-is teyen on the first day of snow ofl Mount Ever- ctt
