To the Editor:

On Tuesday, Sept. 6, or before with early voting or mail-in voting, I will vote for attorney Timothy J. Shugrue for Berkshire County district attorney and Berkshire County Sheriff Thomas N. Bowler for re-election.

As creator and producer of [public access show] "Solutions Rising," I hope you will go to webcast.nbctc.org to learn more about their extensive background and significant experience. Attorney Shugrue just taped two "Solutions Rising" programs with me, and Sheriff Bowler recently taped his fourth program. Integrity means everything in our elected officials, and both have demonstrated that quality and admirable community involvement and commitment in their lives.

Your vote matters, and Tuesday, Sept. 6, is the definitive election for both Berkshire County district attorney and Berkshire County sheriff. I believe attorney Shugrue and Sheriff Bowler have earned your vote, and Berkshire County will be well served when they are elected.

Companion Corner: Weber at No Paws Left Behind

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — There's a young cat waiting for a family to play with him.

iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.

Weber is a 10-month-old domestic shorthair. He has been at No Paws Left Behind since November.

Volunteer Claire Morin introduced us to him.

"He came in with an abundance of cats that were in a crowded situation in the home," she said. "Most of his brothers and sisters are gone, but Weber is still here."

Weber loves the attention and if you aren't giving him enough he will let you know.

"Weber is very, very sweet. As you can see, he's very needy for attention. He loves his treats, and he can get a little overstimulated. He's very attention seeking. And if you don't give him attention right away, he nips at you a little bit, not a bite, more like a tender here I am — pay attention to me," Morin said. "But he's very engaging, and he's a very, very sweet boy."
