NORTHAMPTON When the city’s animal control officer or a police officer has an animal, like a lost dog, there is no city-owned space to temporarily house it. That may soon change, as the city has found a possible location for an animal control facility.
“We’ve had a series of temporary arrangements,” Mayor David Narkewicz said.
These included contracting with the town of Amherst to be able to use their facility, but that meant driving dogs to Amherst and having to go back and forth to take care of them, he said. “We really need to have our own facility.”

DALLAS - A Dallas man who has been locked up for 34 years is close to being free.
Benjamin Spencer has been fighting for decades to prove he did not carjack and kill a clothing executive back in 1987.
He is another in a fraternity of men wrongly convicted out of Dallas County back during the 80s and early 90s.
In his book, the
Mount Etna wine-producing areain a mixture of culinary history and guide book.
Spencer’s takes us from the plant through to the bottle in a series of fascinating observations on the nature of viticulture. He suggests how archaeological evidence shows how humans have been making wine in Sicily for 6,000 years, so what better place is there to explore the art of winemaking.
The vines on Etna have been found to have survived decades after lava eruptions from the very active Sicilian volcano, with an astounding tenacity. It seems a privilege to explore this beverage made from the fruit of a plant that refuses to give up.
