To the Editor:

I am excited to endorse Albert Cummings for Select Board. I have known Albert for decades. I've watched him grow his business from building small additions and renovations to award winning residential and commercial masterpieces. Similarly, I have seen his music career evolve from playing the banjo on Community Auditions, to singing and playing guitar around a campfire, to sharing a stage with some of the greatest blues artists who ever walked the earth. Albert's success in these areas come from a strong work ethic, great people skills, a willingness to always learn new ideas while not casting aside those ideas that are time tested and proven, and the attitude that a job worth doing is worth doing right. These are skills and attributes that will serve our town well.

Albert approaches people, ideas, issues, and opportunities with an open mind. He possesses an uncanny ability to engage with people, put them at ease, and allow them to be heard and has the experience of making tough decisions.

I encourage everyone to vote on May 11.

Mount Greylock School Race Will Not Be Called Until Nov. 16

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Before Election Day, we knew that it would take a while to get results from the Mount Greylock Regional School Committee races.
 
We just did not know how long.
 
On Monday morning, Lanesborough officials said that it will be at least until Monday, Nov. 16, before we know the official outcome of the Nov. 3 balloting.
 
That is because the Lanesborough Town Clerk Ruth Knysh, who runs elections and certifies the vote, is out of the office until that date, according to a bounceback message on her town email account.
 
On Monday, Lanesborough officials confirmed that the town's votes will not be certified until Knysh is back in the office.
 
Both Lanesborough and Williamstown voters cast ballots for all seven members of the School Committee.
 
This fall, four of the committee seats were on the ballot – two for Lanesborough residents and two for Williamstown residents. There were six qualified candidates for the four seats, three from each town, and three incumbents on the ballot (two incumbents in Williamstown and one in Lanesborough, where one of the town's three sitting members chose not to seek another four-year term).
