Guyer-ENews Sept/Oct 2009

The Denis Guyer Show to debut on Pittsfield Community Television!

I'm excited to announce today the first episode of my local access cable television show, “The Denis Guyer Show” will air, starting Monday October 26. The show will deal with local and legislative issues relative to the twenty-two towns of the 2nd Berkshire District and statewide.

The first episode, “Understanding the H1N1 Virus” will address the growing concern about the H1N1 virus and have guests discussing prevention at the city, county and state level. The schedule varies depending on the area viewers live in and networks that viewers subscribe to. Here is the official timetable is listed below on Pittsfield Community Television:

Monday, October 26th 9:30pm

Tuesday, October 27th 3:00am & 11:00am

Sunday, November 1 at 7:00pm

Monday, November 2 at 2:30am & Noon

I look forward to reaching out to my constituents through this program. My goal is that constituents will find answers to questions regarding current issues. Episodes will feature guest speakers who can offer first-hand knowledge of each topic. This television program is a valuable resource for constituents who seek information regarding the legislative process and how it affects our community.

Guyer presents resolution to State's Oldest Resident

I was proud to present to Bernice Madigan a resolution declaring her at 110, to be the oldest resident of the Commonwealth on her birthday, July 24th. She is a resident of Cheshire, growing up in the area and graduation from Adams High School before moving to Washington D.C. to work for the U.S Treasury Department. She just moved back to the area a few years ago and we are luck to have her! To learn more about Bernice, check out the article below profiling her life and secret to longevity:

On October 3rd, I participated in the National Down Syndrome Society’s Buddy Walk of Berkshire County which was hosted by Berkshire County Arc. This national event is a great space to create awareness about people with Down syndrome, and support the Berkshire County Arc Down Syndrome Family Group which currently supports 28 families living in Berkshire County who have a family member with Down syndrome.
