Letter: Breen Has Right Experience for North Adams Council

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Well, I just voted, and I gave my first vote for City Council to Pete Breen. Why, you ask?

No other new candidate has the experience and devotion and has been as generous with their time. Over the past 40 years, Pete has served on many boards and commissions. He has worked for a variety of employers including MCLA, where Pete was a facilitator and instructor for technology and curriculum development and assistant registrar. Pete took that experience over into the town of Adams, where he implemented the town's entire computer system, serving as the town's technology administrator. Pete then went farther south, where he was a member of the adjunct faculty at BCC for four years.

Shifting gears into education, Pete taught computer science at Hoosac Valley for 12 years, while also serving in the district office and as the pupil transportation officer.



After retiring from compensated work, Pete set his sights on volunteering in North Adams serving on the License Board Commission and serving as the North Adams representative for the Northern Berkshire Vocational School District, and finally, Pete's current passion, serving on the Hoosic River Revival Board.

That's why I gave my first vote to Pete Breen. And I hope that you do too.

David Willette
North Adams, Mass.

Two-Vehicle Crash on Brown Street Sends One to Hospital, Briefly Closes Road

Staff Reports

NORTH ADAMS — A two-vehicle crash on Brown Street temporarily closed the roadway and sent one person to the hospital on Sunday morning.

According to North Adams 911, at approximately 10:15 a.m., local emergency personnel — including the Fire Department, Police Department, and Northern Berkshire EMS — responded to the incident near West Main Street.

A pickup truck was traveling westbound on West Main Street when a car exiting a driveway on the north side of the road struck the rear passenger side of the truck. The impact caused the pickup to spin 180 degrees.

One person was transported to the emergency department with non-life-threatening injuries. Both vehicles sustained sufficient damage to require towing, and emergency crews closed the road to clear the wreckage.
