Print Story | Email Story
ADAMS, Mass. — The Town of Adams will hold a public meeting on Wednesday, March 27 from 4 pm to 6pm in the Adams Town Hall Board of Selectmen's room to discuss the Jordan Street Culvert Replacement Project.
 
Town staff and VHB engineers will be on hand to answer questions about the project, which will replace a culvert that carries Miller Brook into the Tophet Brook. The culvert is located behind 17 Jordan Street and collapsed several years ago due to failing walls.
 
The town is preparing to obtain environmental permits for a replacement culvert this spring and hopes to start construction later this year. The project will be funded with a grant from FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Program.
 
Residents are encouraged to attend the public meeting to learn more about the project and ask questions. For more information, please contact the Adams Department of Public Works at (413) 743-8300 or email ecoughlin@town.adams.ma.us.

Howard Rosenberg opened the yoga studio in 2018 in the old school house at 201 North Summer St. 
ADAMS, Mass. — The Anahata Schoolhouse on North Summer Street is offer a new service to its yoga patrons — ayurveda.
 
"Ayurveda means the science of life or longevity and it's a 5,000-year-old traditional system of medicine originating in India. It's a universal system of medicine that applies to anybody, anywhere," said certified ayurveda practitioner Hilary Garivaltis. 
 
"It's based on nature, natural laws, and rhythms and principles of nature and understanding that we're all a part of it so learning how we fit into the world around us is so important in ayurveda."
 
Garivaltis has been a leader in ayurveda for 25 years and taught for 12 years at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Strockbridge. 
 
She continues to give workshops and courses, and helps set up programs, including now at the Anahata yoga and healing arts center. This includes offering personal consultations to create customized recommendations on diet, lifestyle and habits.
 
"Ayurveda is really body care, yoga is taking care of the mind, ayurveda is taking care of the body," said Aly Sprague, Anahata's director of ayurveda and yoga programs.
 
"It's extremely individualized, so no one that comes in is going to walk away with the same recommendations, not one person, because we are all made up of varying degrees."
