SANDISFIELD - A 98-year-old woman with a long history of activism was
arrested with seven others Saturday after stopping pipe-laying work in
Otis State Forest.
Frances Crowe, considered a legend for her
peace activism and anti-nuclear efforts, was pushed in her wheelchair to
the edge of the open pipeline trench with seven other Sugar Shack
Alliance members, causing Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. workers to stop
heavy machine work and call police.
Surrounded by state police
after her arrest, fellow activists pushed her uphill through the
pipeline easement to the backseat of a sheriff's cruiser, and when asked
how many times she has been arrested, she smiled.
"Not enough," she said, prompting loads of laughter.
