Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

The Board of Directors of the Al Nelson Friendship Center Food Pantry in North Adams wishes to thank the North Adams, Clarksburg and Florida Mountain community for their generation donations to the May 11 Letter Carrier Food Drive.

We received a total of 3,595 pounds of food and personal care items.

We equally want to thank our Letter Carriers who work out of the North Adams Post Office. They again went above and beyond in collecting the donations and bringing them to the collection and sorting site. They are always a pleasure to work with.

We also want to thank the Northern Berkshire United Way, the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition, and the Berkshire United Way for their support, as well all of the volunteers who helped on the day of the Food Drive.

Daunis is the board president of the Friendship Center.

City Man Charged in Marshall Street Crash

iBerkshires.com Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – A city man is facing charges in connection with a Thursday crash that damaged two buildings on Marshall Street.
 
John Miner, of North Adams, who police said is in his 40s, has been charged with negligent operation of a motor vehicle, marked lanes violation and wanton destruction of property after his pickup truck crashed into Brewster’s antique shop and damaged nearby Trés Niños Taqueria.
 
According to North Adams Police Chief Mark Bailey, Miner was traveling on St. Anthony’s Drive and turned left onto Marshall Street.
 
“As he was turning onto Marshall Street, Miner began revving his engine, causing his tires to start to lose traction and his back end began to fish-tail,” Bailey said. “Miner lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the businesses on Marshall Street.
 
“Witnesses on scene said that they could hear a vehicle burning out before hearing the crash.”
 
Bailey said that Miner was not wearing his seat belt at the time of his accident but a passenger in his vehicle was. The passenger was treated for injury at the scene but not taken to the hospital.
 
Both businesses impacted by the crash remain closed.
