Deer got lucky, Pickup Truck Driver hit Tree.
Around 8:30 this morning, Ted Beckner was driving towards the dam on Sturbridge Road with his pickup truck.
A deer jumped out of the woods in front of Ted’s pickup truck. Ted’s maneuver to avoid the deer got out of control and he ended up against a tree. Ted fortunately avoided an utility pole just by inches.
The State Police was on the scene directing traffic. The Holland Fire Department was assisting the recovery operation as well.
Fortunately nobody was hurt and Ted is carrying collision insurance on his truck.

The victim allegedly bled heavily when the called ambulance arrived on the scene.The accident happened near Mt Hitchcock Road on the Wales-Munson town line. The Life Flight Helicopter stationed at UMass-Worcester was unable to assist with the transport of the victim to the trauma center at UMass Worcester due to bad weather. The victim was transported by Ambulance to Harrington Memorial Hospital in Southbridge instead.
The shooter allegedly fled the scene in a blue pickup truck. An arrest warrant was allegedly issued for his arrest. The name of the shooter must have been known to the police. The State Police is still investigating.

Sheldon Snieder, or how he was known to his friends, Shelly Snieder, died.
I got a phone call this morning with the worst kind of news you can get, my neighbor Sheldon Snieder, or “Shelly” as everybody called him, passed away totally unexpected yesterday morning at his home in Longmeadow.We became neighbors when Shelly bought the house in March of 2007. It is the house on 3 Pine Tree Drive, directly on Hamilton Reservoir, the house where Kenny Jones and earlier his father Sonny and even earlier Kenny’s grandfather lived.
It was Shelly’s second home. Shelly and his wife Dianne just moved their primary residence from Enfield to Longmeadow so they would be closer to their three grandchildren. Shelly loved to be in his lake house where he spent much of his time improving his house. He also loved to fish and to practice target shooting with bow and arrow.
Picture was taken on July 25, 2010, at 7:59 am.
Just last year, he added a large screened porch to his house. He traveled all over the country on business and his car would have as many miles on the speedometer after one year as mine would have after 15 years.
Shelly was a good guy, always ready to lend a hand. Shelly, I will miss you and I’m still in disbelief...
Shelly was born in Winthrop MA, in 1944, he then moved to Revere. Shelly was the owner and managing partner of both Shelly Snieder Marketing and Shelly Snieder Rugs. He was an avid bass fisherman. Shelly was the glue of the extended Snieder family. He is survived by his wife Dianne (Barr) Snieder, his daughters Samantha Snieder and Bari (Anthony) DeMichele, his three grandchildren William, Benjamin, and Elizabeth, his brother Steven (Edna) Snieder, his sister Barbara (Leonard) Green, his six nephews Eric, Lee, David, Michael, Ricky, and Steven, his sister-in-law Jayne (Geoff) Berman, and his best friend Gene Rosenberg. Shelly's funeral will be Tuesday October 12th at 12:00 Noon at Sinai Temple at 1100 Dickinson St. Springfield, with burial in Sinai Memorial Park. Shiva will be at 135 Pinewood Dr. in Longmeadow with evening services Tuesday and Wednesday. Memorial contributions can be made to USO.org or to the charity of your choice.

Update, read the extensive State Police Reports!
Last Friday, October 8, 2010, the five arsonist suspects, three of which were appointed to serve on our Fire Department by James Wettlaufer, Earl Johnson, and Christian Petersen, appeared before a judge in the Hall of Justice on 50 State Street in Springfield.
A pre trial hearing was scheduled and the five suspects will soon face a grand jury.
The embarrassing names of the five alleged arsonists were removed from Holland’s and Brimfield’s web page of the Fire Departments.
The Holland Blog obtained the Arrest Reports from the State Police for its readers.
And, there are still unanswered questions, read more»
