Qualified handicappedpersonsareentitledtoreasonableaccommodations, unless that accommodation presents an undue hardship to the employer.

Also, Discrimination Laws refer to Art in Employment ads as well as copy ie: no white male under the age of 40 can be depicted in an employment ad all by himself.

Faith (518) 781-0362

Thank you for helping the animals.

If you’re looking for an incredibly fantastic trio of siblings, then look no further than Jet, Tina and Hank. The feline staff at Berkshire Humane Society describe them as absolutely perfect cats who are grateful for the companionship of people. They thoroughly enjoy physical attention and will clamber all over you for snug sessions and cuddle time. Albeit on the quiet side, they would most likely do well in a home with young, respectful children as well as cat savvy dogs. They crave the love and attention of people and will gladly sit with you to soak up any attention they can receive. Jet, Hank and Tina have lived indoors only and do have a “kitty cold” that will remain with them forever, so they should go to a home without other cats (other than each other). Tina also has a condition called luxating patella in both hind legs, so a bit of maintenance with joint supplements will be beneficial. Having arrived back on August 26th, all of their other housemates have long since been adopted as they did not present with any illness. The staff would LOVE to see all three go home together as they are very attached to each other and deserve the best life possible. If you can make this dream a reality, please reach out to our feline staff at (413)-447-7878 ext.

124 for more information and questions. Additionally, their adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor!

Home For Sale

30 Great Barrington Road

Master builder with his wife’s design restored and built this new home which welcomes you with a wide opulent wrap-around porch into an immense open floor plan bathed in sun-filled light from the sixty feet of glass overlooking a terraced stone wall leading to a stream and a pine forest of serenity. Life and entertainment begin here within this fully high-end equipped Chef’s kitchen with three counters. Two are Italian marble with a waterfall and custom bookcase. A baking center with a pop-up mixer and pull out shelves — oversized sink — and a prep work area plus a pot filler are all at your finger-tips.

While family/guests are at the Sequoia tree counter (seating for eight) enjoying coffee from the coffee center, or enjoying a glass of wine from the wine center sitting by the floor to ceiling nine foot wide completely restored — stone by stone and timber — George Washington time fireplace in complete serendipity. Others may be at the library/guest room enjoying the original rumford fireplace or strolling past the waterfall to the dining / guest room both having sliding glass doors for privacy. The warming drawers are off and the butlers pantry is busy with the sound of water and two dishwashers going as the evening is winding down.

West Stockbridge, MA

Taking a magnificent curved staircase leads you to the original King’s Wood pine flooring to the massive primary suite with two balconies, double-sided fireplace, two California king-size beds and an adjoining office/nursery space; plus the laundry room. But more importantly to relax after a long day of work or travel — in the spa bathroom with a spa tub and dual headed shower for two. Here is peace and tranquility. There are two massive dressing rooms with custom built-in oversized dressers to complete your needs. Family/guests may take the spiral staircase to the basement to end their evening in this luxurious furnished home. Staging items are negotiable.

All inspections have been completed and approved for you to move in immediately and enjoy the Berkshires in luxury and comfort.

I look forward to hearing from you with any questions or a request for a private showing making this your perfect home. THANK-YOU.
