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.

After the Slush: Warmer Weather Arrives

Staff Reports
Yuck. After Tuesday's surprise snowstorm (1 to 2 inches??), which sent kids home early and canceled activities, there's another mess headed our way. 
 
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for all of Western Massachusetts, Southern Vermont, northern Connecticut and most of Upstate New York and the Capital Region.
 
The warning runs from 5 p.m. on Thursday to noon Friday, with a forecast of snow and sleet and icy rain. 
 
The region can expect total accumulations of one to 2 inches, with greater expectations of ice totals in the higher elevations. 
 
This will start as rain on Thursday afternoon, before changing over to sleet and freezing rain, and then snow across the northern region. This is expected to taper off on Friday morning. 
 
The evening and morning commutes will be messy with black ice and slippery roads.
 
Greylock Snow Day's confidence meter is at 45 percent for school delays on Friday morning.
