Letter: Eleanor Sonsini Shelter Left Out

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

So I see the story about the ground breaking for a new building for the [Berkshire] Humane Society and I can't help but wonder, 'Why are funds and news articles always going to/about the Humane Society?'

Why isn't the Sonsini Shelter given the same funds and publicity? Am I missing something? Sonsini needs a new facility, Sonsini needs funds!

Nine Injured in Washington Mountain Road Crash, Prompting Mass-Casualty Response

Staff ReportsiBerkshires
DALTON, Mass. — Local public safety personnel responded to a mass-casualty incident Sunday on Washington Mountain Road based on the number of patients although the injuries were reported to be "minor."
 
At approximately 12:52 p.m., the Fire Department was dispatched to the scene for a report of a multi-vehicle rollover accident. 
 
At the time of the initial response, three patients were reporting injuries. However, after further assessment, first responders determined that there were a total of nine — prompting a mass-casualty incident response, the Fire Department said in a Facebook post. 
 
A Jeep Cherokee driven by Anthony Stracuzzi, 27, was traveling north toward Dalton when it crashed into a Jeep Wrangler because of improper equipment. 
 
Stracuzzi will be cited for the crash, Police Chief Deanna Strout said. At this time, the crash is still under investigation.
 
Stracuzzi’s vehicle was carrying three adult passengers and a baby. The Jeep Wrangler was driven by a 34-year-old man and had two juvenile passengers.
 
No life threatening injuries were sustained, however some injuries were more serious than others, Strout said.
