Letter: Ashuwillticook Rail Trail Covered in Dog Feces

To the Editor:

We have been waiting, with great anticipation, all winter to walk the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail. On a recent beautiful, sunny day we drove all the way from Albany, N.Y., to downtown Adams to pick up the trail on main street. To our great disappointment and disgust, the trail in both directions, was covered in dog feces, both fresh and what obviously had been there all winter. We had to turn back and abandon our plans, it was so repulsive and disgusting.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The Greylock Thunder dominated, and Dalton picked up a win on Saturday at the second annual Summer Storm Tournament on the Francis Millard Softball Fields.

 

The host Thunder won its three Saturday games by a combined score of 29-6 to improve to 4-0 in the tournament.

 

Dalton, which fell to the Thunder in Friday night’s opener, started Saturday with a 19-7 loss to the Elite Fastpitch squad out of Greene County, N.Y.

 

But Dalton bounced back to earn a 21-3 blowout win over the Rotterdam (N.Y.) Rebels.

 

Patience at the plate was key for Dalton in its tournament win.

 

Three Rotterdam pitchers issued 19 walks in three innings in the loss.

 

Mallory Radwich led Dalton’s offense, going 2-for-3 with three RBIs and a walk.
