Saving an icon and ourselves Cameron Sperance
As city leaders and architects across New England consider ways to reinvigorate the three-decker, others are weighing in on why they fell out of favor and how to improve them even without a costly renovation.
From South Boston to Fall River and even on the silver screen in Boston-based films like “Spotlight,” “Good Will Hunting,” and “The Departed,” the three-decker remains an iconic housing stock. Think of it as the original form of affordable housing: Relatives would often live in each of the three residences that comprise the relatively inexpensive-to-develop building, or they might even rent one out for income. “Living in or near a New England triple-decker,” the New York Times wrote, “was like despising the Yankees or skipping work on St. Patrick’s Day.”

On April 14 and 15, the Montana State University Fire Services Training School (FSTS) conducted an Instructor C training event for the Kansas Fire & Rescue Training Institute (KFRTI). The two-day event, led by Brian Crandell and John Culbertson, trained instructors in the FSTS demonstrated ability methodology, also called training in context, which emphasizes a performance-based assessment of skills.
Crandell wrote his doctoral thesis on demonstrated ability, which FSTS has been employing in their training process for 30 years.

That is what hemp producers and distributors learned at Wichita State University’s hemp conference on Tuesday.
The fibrous plant can be used for food, flooring, cabinetry, building materials, prosthetics and more.
“We are very excited about these products, said Frank Choriego, one of the moderators of the conference and the associate director of WSU s Small Business Development Center. In the 30s, Kansas was one of the largest producers (of hemp) in the world.
The third annual Kansas Hemp Consortium brought hemp producers and enthusiasts together to examine best practices for growing and manufacturing the product. Choriego brings together producers and suppliers and helps them navigate the supply chain for this new commodity.
