LENOX — Attorney Paula Almgren, founder of Berkshire Law Group, is the author of a new book, Eldercare the Rules — Navigating the Legal, Financial, Medical, Housing and Care Maze, published by Laurel Ridge Press.

More than 37 million Americans are providing unpaid eldercare for someone, according to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Almgren has not only seen it firsthand with her own clients as an estate planning, elder law and life care attorney, but lived it with own late mother, who died of Alzheimer’s disease. The experience so transformed her life and law practice she was inspired to write the rulebook on eldercare.

“There is so much misinformation out there when it comes to what families really need to know regarding legal, financial, medical, housing, and care issues, which in my book are all a part of the eldercare maze,” Almgren said. “On top of that, it can be an emotional, scary, and very confusing time for everyone involved.”

SPRINGFIELD — The YWCA of Western Massachusetts recently held a room dedication ceremony and reception for a beloved former employee, Rosalind Jackson, who retired earlier this year after being with the organization for six years as a direct service advocate for its Domestic Violence Shelter Services (DVSS).

In that role, “Ms. Ros,” as she was affectionately known at the YWCA, worked directly with the women and children residing in the shelter. Last July, she was honored in Employee Spotlight, a monthly feature recognizing employees nominated by their peers.

“Ms. Ros is a force of nature who left an indelible mark on the YWCA before retiring earlier this year — full of energy, immensely kind, determined, and a joy to be around,” said Elizabeth Dineen, CEO of the YWCA of Western Massachusetts. “Jackson was the biggest champion for her clients, and she wasn’t afraid to dole out tough love when necessary — which only endeared her more to the residents she served. Thank you, Ms. Ros, for your years of remarkable service to the YWCA. Enjoy your well-earned retirement.”

The room dedication was commemorated with a plaque reading: “In honor of Rosalind ‘Ms. Ros’ Jackson. A steady voice, a kind heart, and a fierce advocate for all. Ms. Ros gave the YWCA her wisdom, warmth, and honesty — always lifting others with dignity and care. Her legacy is woven into the walls of this shelter, the spirit of its guests, and in the hearts of her colleagues.”

YWCA staff, past and present, as well as shelter residents, were present to christen the room in Jackson’s honor.

With several grant-funded elementary school field trips planned for the upcoming 2025-26 school year — thanks to the generosity of funders like MassMutual Foundation (via the Smithsonian), MGM Foundation, Westfield Academy, Shurtleff Children’s Services, and the Michael Cimini Memorial Fund — the Museums are especially in need of history and science enthusiasts to join the docent program.

Multi-session training begins in late September and runs through winter or spring, depending on discipline (art, history: up to 20 classes; science, Dr. Seuss: up to 15 classes). Training takes place on weekday afternoons. Docents commit to leading at least 20 tours per year for two consecutive years following the training year. Tours generally occur Tuesday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., aligning with school field trips, but opportunities to lead tours or programs on evenings and weekends may be available.

Interested individuals should visit springfieldmuseums.org/volunteer to learn more and complete an application; email inquiries are welcome at [email protected].

Leading the Way

Educators gather at the professional development kickoff at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative campus in Westborough.

Educators gather at the professional development kickoff at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative campus in Westborough.

The Healey-Driscoll administration recently partnered with Project Lead The Way (PLTW) to launch Future Ready: AI in the Classroom. Through a $135,000 investment, this professional development pilot will support teachers in 45 classrooms, estimating to reach more than 1,600 students, and is designed to provide high school educators with the tools, knowledge, network to bring artificial intelligence (AI) into their classrooms.

This experience is jointly funded through the administration’s STEM Advisory Council and the Massachusetts AI Hub and will be administered by PLTW. Organizers say this pilot marks an important step in expanding access to AI learning opportunities for students and educators across the state.

“Massachusetts has long been a global leader in both technological innovation and education,” Gov. Maura Healey said. “With this pilot, we are building on that success, providing our teachers with the skills and tools so they can support the next generation and ensure Massachusetts remains a global leader in applied AI.”

Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll added that “our administration knows AI is a transformative technology that is already reshaping how we live and learn. Through this pilot, we’re giving educators the foundation they need to navigate this new era with confidence, fueling workforce readiness and expanding opportunity for students.”

This year-long, 50-hour professional development experience kicked off at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative campus in Westborough, where participants engaged in curriculum design workshops, peer collaboration sessions, and targeted mini-trainings. This first experience aimed to create a professional learning community that fosters innovation and shared best practices. The program introduced educators to the fundamentals of AI, explored ethical and responsible classroom applications, and facilitated ongoing collaboration with industry experts and peers throughout the academic year.

“As a former teacher, I know how important professional development is, especially in an ever-changing world. This pilot helps turn possibility into practice,” Education Secretary Patrick Tutwiler said. “By investing in our educators and grounding their work in ethical, real-world AI applications, we’re making sure our students are not just consumers of technology, but future leaders in it.”

Interim Secretary of Economic Development Ashley Stolba added that “Massachusetts is uniquely positioned to lead in the responsible and innovative use of artificial intelligence. This pilot reflects our forward-looking approach, aligned with the vision of the Massachusetts AI Hub. By investing in educators today, we ensure our students are prepared to shape the innovations of tomorrow. Supporting this kind of early, hands-on learning helps build the talent pipeline that will drive our future economy.”

Technology Services and Security Secretary Jason Snyder related how, as a young student interested in computer science, having passionate and experienced teachers as mentors was transformational. “This pilot helps ensure that our next generation of students in Massachusetts learn the fundamentals of data and AI literacy, and that our educators are empowered to lead with confidence and instill emerging technology proactively, in classrooms all over the state.”

“Through this pilot, we’re giving educators the foundation they need to navigate this new era with confidence, fueling workforce readiness and expanding opportunity for students.”

The pilot is a cornerstone of the Massachusetts AI Hub’s mission to position the state as a global leader in applied and ethical AI. Future Ready: AI in the Classroom is the first in a series of educator-focused initiatives aligned with the Hub’s education and workforce development strategy, ensuring that students across Massachusetts are not only prepared for the future of innovation, but are actively shaping it. The pilot program also advances the goals of the Massachusetts STEM Advisory Council by strengthening STEM education and supporting educators with a network of STEM resources.

“Artificial intelligence has the potential to expand access to information and unlock new learning opportunities for students across Massachusetts,” Massachusetts AI Hub Executive Director Sabrina Mansur said. “With this pilot program, our state will be able to empower teachers to incorporate the benefits of AI in student education. Ultimately, our goal is to create a strong pipeline of talent who understand how to use AI to build a stronger economy.”

David Dimmett, president and CEO of PLTW, noted that “we believe in empowering students to become the innovators and problem solvers of tomorrow. This partnership with Massachusetts represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking approach we need to prepare educators and students for an AI-driven future. By providing teachers with hands-on, project-based AI learning experiences, we’re ensuring that students don’t just understand artificial intelligence — they learn to harness it as a tool for creativity and innovation. This pilot will serve as a model for how we can scale AI literacy across the U.S.”

The launch of the pilot reflects a broader, coordinated effort across Massachusetts state government to harness AI’s potential in a way that is forward-thinking, inclusive, and impactful. It follows the work of the Massachusetts AI Strategic Task Force, established by Healey in 2024 to chart a path for AI adoption, talent development, and economic growth. The task force’s recommendations directly informed the creation of the AI Hub and highlighted the need for strong partnerships between government, industry, and academia. The administration also invested $100 million through the Mass Leads Act to support AI innovation at scale and strengthen Massachusetts’ global leadership in AI.

In K-12 education specifically, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is also leading efforts to support educators as access to AI increases. Through a partnership with the International Society for Technology in Education and the Assoc. for Supervision and Curriculum Development, DESE convened a K-12 AI task force focused on developing recommendations to support school communities in their use of AI. This task force produced a multi-year AI roadmap focused on AI literacy, student data privacy, and educator preparation.

GREAT BARRINGTON — After nearly a decade of leadership, Jane Ralph will step down as executive director of Construct effective Aug. 29.

“This was not an easy decision,” she said. “My partner and I have called Berkshire County home for years now, and I am so proud of our work at Construct. However, the past year has been a time of reflection for us. After facing some family health challenges, and looking at where things stand in the world, we have decided that being close to relatives should be our main priority, so we are relocating to Madison, Wisconsin.”

Since assuming the role in 2016, Ralph has led significant growth in Construct’s services, including support to help people remain in their homes, temporary housing for families, the development of new affordable housing at Forest Springs in Great Barrington, and the county’s first co-living workforce housing at the Windflower in Egremont. Under her leadership, Construct has also expanded its housing navigation services for individuals and families facing housing insecurity.

“We’re all grateful for Jane’s leadership over the past nine years,” said Betty Farbman, board president. “She’s led with a lot of heart and a strong commitment to our community. Thanks to her, Construct is in a great place. We have a clear vision, a strong team, and a solid foundation to build on.”

Ralph will work closely with the executive committee in the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition of leadership and to ease the staff and board into the next phase. The board of directors has formed a search committee for a new leader and will soon post the position for potential candidates to apply.

“I have full confidence that Construct will continue to thrive after my departure,” Ralph said, “and I am so grateful to all who have supported our work during my time here. Your support has truly made all the difference in our ability to provide affordable housing and housing support to our South Berkshire neighbors.”

An event will be held to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of Ralph and her team over the past nine years. The event will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 11 a.m. at Construct’s main office, located at 316A State Road, Great Barrington. Community members and partners are invited to attend. To RSVP, or for more information about Construct and the upcoming leadership transition, visit www.constructberkshire.org.

LENOX — Ventfort Hall Gilded Age Mansion and Museum announced the acquisition of the original Gardener’s Cottage, known as the Huss House, once the residence of Gilded Age landscape architect John Huss. For the first time since the 1950s, the property is returning to the Ventfort Hall estate, restoring a vital piece of its original legacy.

In June, Ventfort Hall was granted the right of first refusal for the off-market sale of the cottage, located on Walker Street just a short walk from the main mansion. The board of directors and staff acted swiftly to secure the property, with the official signing taking place on July 29.

“This is more than a property acquisition — it’s the return of a lost chapter of our estate’s history,” said Wendy Healey, executive director of Ventfort Hall. “Reuniting the Huss House with the main estate is a powerful moment for all of us who cherish this place and its stories. It feels nothing short of miraculous.”

Ventfort Hall has developed a multi-phase plan for the restoration, maintenance, and reintegration of the Huss House into its operations. The vision includes transforming the property into a short-term vacation rental, allowing it to generate revenue for its own preservation while offering visitors an immersive, historically resonant experience.

“The Huss House adds a new dimension to our mission to preserve, interpret, and celebrate the Gilded Age,” Healey said. “We’re incredibly grateful for the board’s leadership and the passion of our supporters, without whom this wouldn’t be possible.”

Senior Planning Special Coverage Special Publications

When BusinessWest and the Healthcare News first started publishing an annual Senior Planning Guide, the idea wasn’t to create a roadmap to the end of life, though it could, in some sense, be described as such. Along with information about financial planning, care options, and family conversations, the idea was also to express that the retirement years should be a rich, rewarding, and robust time. It’s a topic of interest for an increasing number of individuals and families. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans age 65 and older — which was 35 million in 2000, just 12% of the population — will reach 74 million by 2030, or 21% of U.S. residents. That’s a lot of people. And a lot of planning. And a lot of living left to enjoy. In this year’s guide, we bring you perspectives on everything from Medicare plans, food insecurity, and important health issues, like stroke, to local options for in-home care, adult day programs, and more, as well as why it’s so imortant to stay active and have fun well into the retirement years. In short, stories about the questions families are grappling with every day. After all, these years should be an enjoyable time, highlighted by special moments with family and friends, the freedom to engage in a range of activities, maybe even a chance to develop new interests and hobbies. Hopefully, the 2025 Senior Planning Guide will be a helpful resource in that process.

T-Birds Recognized with Award for Digital Media

SPRINGFIELD — The Springfield Thunderbirds received more recognition during the American Hockey League’s 2025 Awards Gala on Jul. 10 in Hilton Head Island, S.C. After previously capturing league honors for the Marketing Department of the Year and Most Unique Social Media Content, the Thunderbirds’ digital media team was recognized as the Eastern Conference Award of Excellence recipient for Digital Media. The department has excelled with a fully in-house strategy blending creativity, consistency, and a strong brand identity. Each of the team’s 36 home games features a unique campaign built around a cohesive, season-long look, incorporating bold visuals and local imagery, with efforts spanning digital, print, radio, billboards, and social media. The team also unveiled a new-look website and mobile app to their fans during the 2024-25 season. The Thunderbirds’ Social Media department also earned leaguewide recognition during the 2024-25 season, most noticeably by winning the award for Most Unique Social Media Content. The honor stemmed from the team’s inventive response to a shipping mishap that sent their Teddy Bear Toss jerseys to Germany by mistake. Turning an unfortunate situation into an opportunity, the social media team showcased that agility and creativity are sometimes the most powerful tools in a successful strategy.

 

AIC Designated Early College Program with Duggan, SEZP

SPRINGFIELD — American International College (AIC), in partnership with the Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership (SEZP), has been designated as a Massachusetts Early College Program by the state’s joint Early College Committee. The AIC-SEZP partnership is one of 18 new Early College programs announced by the Healey-Driscoll administration. AIC is the only private college west of Worcester to receive this designation. Beginning this fall, the program will launch in partnership with Duggan Academy in Springfield with a wall-to-wall model in which every student participates. Students will have the opportunity to earn up to 60 college credits at no cost before graduating from high school. Courses will include MassTransfer-eligible credits and focus on high-growth, high-wage fields such as health sciences, education, and criminal justice. Early College programs are a central element of the administration’s Reimagining High School initiative to prepare students for college or careers and expand access for those historically underrepresented in higher education. The new AIC-Duggan Academy program builds on a long-standing partnership between the two institutions. Through earlier collaborations, Duggan students have already earned AIC college credits with strong pass rates, and college matriculation among participants has continued to grow. The new program is designed to build on that success and help even more students access college by removing common barriers. Key program features include personalized support, including small cohorts, academic coaching, and dedicated advisors for multi-lingual and exceptional learners; advising to promote executive functioning and college readiness; culturally responsive teaching and staffing to reflect and support the student population; and universal access, with 100% of Duggan students participating regardless of prior academic performance.

 

WNE Awarded Grant to Help

Families Reduce Energy Costs

SPRINGFIELD — West Springfield families will benefit from a new partnership between Western New England University (WNE) College of Engineering and Greater Springfield Habitat for Humanity (GSHFH) that uses drone and AI technology to identify heat loss and implement energy-saving home retrofits — at no cost to qualifying residents. This partnership is possible thanks to a $149,700 EmPower Massachusetts grant from the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. Through this initiative, the team will conduct thermographic assessments to detect heat loss in the homes of low-income families in West Springfield. Principal investigator (PI) Yu Hou and co-PI Steven Li will lead efforts using drones equipped with thermal cameras to create thermographic models. They will apply artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to analyze and quantify heat loss, simulate building energy consumption, and generate automated retrofitting plans. WNE will work with GSHFH to implement these plans for selected families. Students can use local homes as case studies, integrating building energy simulation and tools like building information modeling into their coursework.

The publication also praised the firm’s longevity and strategic positioning, delivering service quality comparable to major national practices, but also the personalized attention and long-term relationships characteristic of boutique practices.

 

HCC Awarded $423,190 for

TRIO Student Support Program

HOLYOKE — The U.S. Department of Education has awarded Holyoke Community College (HCC) a TRIO Student Support Services grant of $423,190 to improve college retention and graduation rates among low-income, first-generation students, and students with disabilities. This award, which runs through June 2026, marks the continuation of more than 30 years of TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) services at HCC. Since 1993, the program has served thousands of HCC students, helping them stay in school, earn degrees, and build meaningful careers. SSS is one of eight federal TRIO programs funded under the Higher Education Act of 1965 to remove social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. Since its inception in 1968, TRIO SSS has helped millions of low-income, first-generation students graduate from college and contribute to their communities and the economy. Through individualized services including academic tutoring, financial aid, scholarship guidance, career exploration, personal and academic counseling, and mentoring, TRIO SSS empowers students to overcome barriers to success. These comprehensive supports make it significantly more likely that students will complete their degrees or successfully transfer with the lowest possible debt. Nationally, the TRIO SSS program has a proven track record. According to a 2019 evaluation by the U.S. Department of Education, students in TRIO SSS at two-year institutions were 48% more likely to earn an associate degree or transfer to a four-year school, and students at four-year institutions were 18% more likely to earn a bachelor’s degree compared to similar peers not in the program.

Holyoke Art Joins Art Pharmacy

to Provide Mental Health Support

HOLYOKE — Holyoke Art has officially joined Art Pharmacy, a groundbreaking arts and healthcare initiative designed to improve mental health and emotional well-being through non-clinical, creative experiences. As a new regional provider in this statewide network, Holyoke Art will offer referred patients joyful, expressive sessions like paint flinging in the Splatery and guided art classes, all at no cost to participants. Art Pharmacy, launched in Georgia in 2022 and now expanded to Massachusetts through a partnership with the Massachusetts Cultural Council and Mass General Brigham, allows healthcare professionals to prescribe up to 12 creative experiences per year to patients experiencing anxiety, depression, loneliness, or chronic stress. Participants are supported by a trained care navigator who helps tailor their experiences and tracks progress using tools like the PHQ-9 and WHO Well-being Index. At Holyoke Art, that prescription may look like an unstructured session of color chaos in the Splatery, a space where participants throw paint at canvases, walls, and each other, or a welcoming art class designed to foster connection, confidence, and play. Patients are referred by a healthcare provider, social worker, or mental health counselor. A care navigator follows up to ensure consistency, accessibility, and trackable outcomes. There’s no cost to the participant. Holyoke Art will begin hosting referred sessions this summer. Interested providers or organizations can contact Art Pharmacy at [email protected] to learn how to participate.
