To the Editor:

Town meeting should reject Article 41 because sexual orientation, color of skin, health and wellness, gender, environmental issues and changes in the meaning of English words (including the word rainbow) are not well-represented by a flag in any community.

Work in the community to make the American flag ensure inclusivity, support, a sense of belonging, respect for others and acceptance among human beings who have the right to live with dignity.

If this flag is added to the three now recognized we could ask: Where does it end? The American flag represents the hope we all have for our community.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -- Authorities are investigating a Friday evening accident on Green River Road (Route 43), the Berkshire County District Attorney's Office reported on Saturday morning.

The single-vehicle accident left the operator of the motorcycle with, "serious injuries to his head, face and upper body," according to a news release from the DA.

The adult male involved was in critical condition, the DA said on Saturday morning.

At 7:21 p.m. Friday, Williamstown Police received 911 calls reporting a collision near 1567 Green River Road.

Officers found the motorcycle operator under the guard rail on the northbound lane, the release read.

The Williamstown Fire Department and Northern Berkshire EMS also responded to the scene, and the motorcycle operator was taken to Pittsfield's Berkshire Medical Center, the district attorney said.

"The investigation is in its early stages; however, investigators did note the heavy rain and wet road as possible contributing factor in the collision," the release read.
