Enchill is based in the senator's Pittsfield office and Gould splits his time between Pittsfield and Williamsburg.  
 
Last year, the senator's district staff traveled to 19 towns and met with hundreds of local officials and residents in Adams, Alford, Blandford, Charlemont, Chester, Cummington, Heath, Lanesborough, Lee, Lenox, Middlefield, Monroe, New Marlborough, Peru, Plainfield, Rowe, Washington and Windsor, Westhampton, West Stockbridge while Senator Hinds participated in public forums throughout the Senate District.
 
Those unable to attend these events who are seeking to interact with the senator and his staff may email him at Adam.Hinds@masenate.gov or call the offices during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. The State House office, where the budget and policy, media relations, and scheduling functions are handled, can be reached at 617-722-1625.

iBerkshires.com Sports
SALISBURY, Md. -- The Berkshire Force 16-and-under travel softball team Monday started play with a pair of losses at the United States Specialty Sports Association's Eastern National Championship.
 
Its first game came against the Jersey Storm of New Jersey, which earned a 6-2 win in four innings.
 
Julia McComish went 1-for-2 at the plate with an RBI, and Amaya Alger and Markiara Jackson each had a hit for the Force.
 
Ava McMahon took the loss in the circle after striking out four and allowing five earned runs in three innings of work.
 
Berkshire's second game was against the Complete Game Academy squad out of Pennsylvania.
 
The Force jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first, but CGA took control with four in the third inning and ended up winning a game cut to four innings due to the tournament's time constraints.
 
The Force piled up seven hits in the loss. McComish and Lexi Spratling each had a hit and an RBI.
