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.

Dix's Dinger Propels NAFD/NAPD to League Title

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – Anna Dix really cleaned up on Tuesday night.
 
The NAFD/NAPD catcher went 4-for-4 at the plate and ended the championship game of the North Adams Women’s Softball League with a three-run home run to left to give her team an 12-9 walk-off win over Belle Ame Lashes.
 
Then, Dix literally cleaned up, grabbing a couple of the bases and putting them in the Disanti Field storage shed before joining her teammates for a team picture at home plate to celebrate the win.
 
“Usually, it’s the home team that brings them in,” she said afterward.
 
Sure, but the player of the game who just clinched a league title with one swing of the bat?
 
“I’m just that person,” Dix said with a shrug. “I like to clean up after playing and all that stuff.”
 
She and her North Adams Fire Department/North Adams Police Department teammates trailed, 8-6, midway through the fifth inning and again, 9-7, with three outs left to go.
