NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Recently, a group of players and families with Adams-Cheshire-Savoy Girls Softball paid a visit to No Paws Left Behind animal shelter with a donation of essential pet supplies.
League players, families, and the board of directors collected and donated toys, treats, food, and cleaning supplies to present to the No Paws staff and animals. While there, the players were able to meet and interact with some of the animals, and they also learned a bit about the day-to-day operations of the shelter and the fine work the staff does in finding forever homes for the animals they care for.
ACS President Lou Moser noted that philanthropic initiatives have always been a cornerstone of the program and that learning the value of teamwork, on and off the field, go hand in hand.
Beyond the supplies, the visit provided plenty of smiling faces, and wagging tails.

Complaint Withdrawn Over Adams Park Street Christmas Display
By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The Christmas display at Dr. Martin Bush's dentist office no longer has a violation against it after a complaint was withdrawn.
On Jan. 15, Bush received a correction order from David Rhinemiller, the code enforcement officer, after he received a phone complaint of sound emanating from the front of the building from the end of November until early January.
The sound likely refers to the music coming from Bush's longstanding "Polar Express" display in the window of his office, located at 9 Park St.
The violations cited were "holiday decorations with sound that generates a high [sound level] that [is] 10 decimals above normal surrounding noise at the property line.”
In addition, "noise interfering with the normal operation or occupant's health of adjacent or abutting properties or atmosphere."
The display is not against local sound ordinances because from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. the town does not have sound restrictions, Rhinemiller said.
The violation was unrelated to decibel readings because no measurement could be taken — the complaint was received on Jan. 2, after the noise had already stopped.
