Letter: Vote for Right Team for North Adams

To the Editor:

Hi there! How many North Adams folks know that Election Day is on Tuesday, Nov. 7? How many residents realize that the current mayor is up for re-election? Luckily for us, the signs on the lawn of City Hall remind us of our civic duty.

Me, I voted early right there in City Hall, for nine members for City Council (phew!) plus the city mayor. I'm eager to earn bragging rights for electing the right team. Because, coming soon, North Adams will be reviewing the 10-year update to our Vision 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

We have made progress, despite the COVID-19 setback, and now we are looking ahead to a prosperous future. Vote, and get the right team on board in City Hall. Thank you.

Greylock Thunder Successful in First Day of Home Event

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Avery Lane raced home on an error in the bottom of the sixth to give the Greylock Thunder 16-and-under travel softball team an 8-7 walkoff win over the Columbia County (N.Y.) Reds and a 2-0 record on the first day of the Summer Storm event at Alcombright Field.

 

The Thunder is welcoming in three other travel teams for a two-day round-robin event that concludes on Sunday afternoon.

 

Greylock won the first game, 4-3, over the Valley Storm of Greenfield.

 

It then trailed, 6-0, in the third inning of its second game against the Reds.

 

But the Thunder stormed back, eventually tying it with a four-run fifth and winning in a walkoff the next inning, the last allowed under the event’s time limit.

 

Lane started the winning rally by reaching on an infield error to lead off the inning.

 

Kendall Moran then sacrificed to move Lane over, but an error on the play allowed Moran to reach base and Lane to score the winning run.
