LONGMEADOW, Mass. — MountainOne Insurance Agency, a subsidiary of MountainOne Bank, announced the acquisition of G.W. Morisi Insurance Agency, Inc., a third generation, family-owned agency that has served Longmeadow and neighboring communities for more than 75 years.
 
The G.W. Morisi staff of four, including President Rory Sullivan, will remain with the agency, providing the same level of excellent customer service, which has been the hallmark of the agency, from their 473 Longmeadow Street location. In time, additional staff will come on board to further support customers' insurance needs.
 
G.W. Morisi Insurance Agency, a MountainOne Company, will now offer customers many enhanced services, including the addition of Group Employee Benefits, Life Insurance, Long-Term Care Insurance, Medicare products and in-house claims services. Customers also have access to many new insurance carriers, widening their options for coverage at highly competitive rates.
 
"We're delighted to welcome the team at G.W. Morisi and look forward to getting to know and serve their many loyal customers and offering expanded services and products," said Jonathan Denmark, president & COO, MountainOne Insurance. "We are also excited and eager to join the Longmeadow community and hope that in short time we will become the same trusted business partner here as we are in the Berkshires."
 
MountainOne Insurance is born from the combination of several small, family-owned agencies that have served Berkshire communities for generations. The acquisition of the G.W. Morisi Insurance Agency marks MountainOne's first physical office outside of Berkshire County, expanding its footprint into Longmeadow and neighboring communities.
 
"MountainOne embodies the same values that G.W. Morisi Insurance Agency has exhibited for so many years, including a warm and welcoming culture," said Sullivan. "We couldn't be more excited to continue to offer outstanding service, great products and valuable solutions under the MountainOne brand."

Clarksburg School Officials Cut Fiscal 2026 Budget by $90K

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — School officials have shaved $90,000 out their $3 million budget for fiscal 2026. 
 
The reductions bring the total budget to $3,093,756, a 4.26 percent, or $126,346, increase over this year. 
 
The cuts include a reduction in hours in the school for the dean of students, cutting the tuition to Drury High by a third, imposing tuition for 4-year-olds in prekindergarten and trimming supplies and training. 
 
Town officials had pushed for the school to cut back from an anticipated 7 percent increase. That's frustrated school officials who point out the operating budget is only going up by 0.67 percent but covering nearly $200,000 for retirees' insurance and FICA is responsible for the hike.  
 
The Select Board was nominally supportive of the amended budget presented at Monday's joint meeting of the School Committee, Select Board and Finance Committee but held off on endorsing it until the town budget is presented next week. 
 
"I appreciate your hard work going down. We don't have the town budget ready yet, so I'm not sure if we're in trouble," said Select Board Chair Robert Norcross. "I'm not sure if I can be in favor of this if we have to cut some more. So we are going to work on that."
 
Assistant Superintendent Tara Barnes had outlined two possible options in mid-April how to get the spending plan down to 2 percent or 4 percent; the latter called for about $90,000 in cuts and reduction in positions.
