Letter: Susan B Anthony Statue Should Be Placed at Town Hall

To the Editor:

It was very nice to see the planned park revision for the park by McDonald's in Adams. It appears a lot of work went into developing the plans. Will miss the gazebo. It was great to,have the small concert there.

However, I am really concerned about hiding the Susan B. Anthony statue there where few people traveling through Adams will be able to see the great statue of their native daughter.

Although many people think McKinley was a great president, Susan B. Anthony had a much great impact on our lives and country and deserves a more prominent location. My suggestion is to place it in front of Town Hall. What a beautiful back drop it would be. Everyone that lives or travels through Adams would be able to see it, especially when lit at night. It should be noted that parking is also available.

Town Hall is the center of our government and represent the qualities that Susan B. Anthony stood for: Freedom for all and the right to vote for all.

Greylock 14U Softball Team Tops Dalton

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The Greylock Thunder 14-and-under travel softball team Saturday ended pool play in its Summer Storm Tournament just like it began pool play on Friday: with a win over Berkshire County rival.
 
Genevieve Lagess went 2-for-2 with a pair of triples and scored three times, and the Thunder overcame an early deficit to take a 13-9 win over Dalton in the pool play finale on Francis Millard Field.
 
On Sunday morning, the eight teams in the tournament will be seeded for the 10 a.m. quarter-final round.
 
The four survivors move on to a pair of 1:30 p.m. semi-finals with the title game scheduled for about 3:30 p.m.
 
The Thunder, which beat the Berkshire Force on Friday night, started its Saturday with an 8-3 loss to the South Troy Dodgers.
 
Then it started its third game of the tournament with a 3-0 lead after Lagess tripled and scored on a wild pitch in the first and Marlee Arnhold and Sadie Stuebner scored in the second.
 
But Dalton battled back in the bottom of the second.
