Letter: Kudos North Adams Police Department

To the Editor:

Praise to members of the North Adams Police Department:

Interim Chief Mark Bailey, Detective Sgt. Bran Vivori, Detective Josh Zustra, Officers Taylor Kline and Khalil Paul will be participating in Boston's Run To Remember (on May 28) honoring Officer George Angeli, who lost his life while on duty in North Adams.

This half marathon/10K is a true testament to the kindness and dedication these amazing North Adams Police Department officers are to our community. Best of luck on a great run.

Baby Animals 

Hancock Shaker Village, Pittsfield

The birds are chirping. The grass is getting greener, and signs of spring are showing — what better way to celebrate that than visiting the baby animals at Hancock Shaker Village.  

 

The village's baby animal festival begins this weekend from 11 until 4. Meet the farm's newest editions including lambs, kids, piglets, calves, and chicks.
