LENOX, Mass. — William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty agent Tonia Scalise Ranked 2021's No. 1 Selling Agent in Central Berkshire County.
 
Tonia Scalise of the firm's Great Barrington and Lenox brokerages ranked as the top producing agent in 2021 by closed-dollar volume among all real estate agents in Central Berkshire County. 
 
She also achieved No. 1 status by volume in Pittsfield, No. 8 in all of Berkshire County, and No. 1 by both unit sales and volume for 2021 in the company's two Berkshire brokerages. In the company's Lenox office, Scalise has maintained that position each year since it first opened in 2017.
 
As she approaches her 35th year in 2022 selling residential real estate in the Berkshires, company officials say Scalise continues to set herself apart in the field with the unique areas of expertise and services she brings to clients. 
 
A Berkshires native, she has a deep knowledge of home construction and restoration, and she specializes in creative sales solutions and carefully calculated pricing strategies. She also supports her sellers with home staging comprising artwork from her own private Berkshires-oriented collection, a service she calls "Staging by Scalise."

"Her commitment to the entire real estate process and dedication to successful closings are second to none. I congratulate her on another incredible year and look forward to her continued success in 2022."

An annual multi-million-dollar producer in Berkshire County, she is an Accredited Buyer Representative, a Certified Residential Specialist and an Accredited Staging Professional.

Elevated Mercury Level Found in Center Pond Fish

BECKET, Mass. — The state Department of Public Health has issued an advisory after a mercury-contaminated fish was found in Center Pond. 
 
According to a letter sent to the local Board of Health from the Division of Environmental Toxicology, Hazard Assessment and Prevention, elevated levels of mercury were measured in the sample taken from the pond. 
 
The concentration in the fish exceeded DPH's action level of 0.5 milligrams per kilogram, or parts per million. 
 
"This indicates that daily consumption of fish from the waterbody may pose a health concern. Therefore, DPH has issued a FCA for Center Pond recommending that sensitive populations should not eat chain pickerel and all other people should limit consumption of chain pickerel to 2 meals/month," the letter states.
 
The letter specifically points to chain pickerel, but the 60-acre pond also has largemouth and smallmouth bass and yellow perch.
 
The "sensitive populations" include children younger than 12, those who are nursing, pregnant, or who may become pregnant.
 
The Toxicology Division recommends reducing intake of "large, predatory fish" or fish that feed on the bottoms of waterbodies, such as largemouth bass and carp. More information on safely eating fish can be found here
