Letter: Lynette Bond for Mayor

To the Editor:

I am writing to encourage you to cast your vote for Lynette Bond as the next mayor of North Adams. I've known Lynette for more than 10 years and can't think of a better person to represent the City. Lynette is everything you'd want in a mayor. She is honest, a great leader, has the tenacity to make tough decisions, and an amazing ability to inspire others to reach their goals.

I have been lucky to have Lynette as my assistant coach for the past four years. She has brought many of these same qualities to the court. She inspires the players and is disciplined in her coaching. Lynette has a passion for youth sports and understands how important it is for young people to be part of a team, to learn the fundamentals of sports, and most importantly, to have fun with their friends. For me and my family, this is the heart of a community, on the courts and on the ballfields. This is where communities are formed and Lynette is there-as a coach or as a fan cheering on the youth of this community.

Lynette has proven that she can work well in stressful situations while maintaining a professional and respectful composure. Her ability to lift people up is something we could all learn from. Lynette is compassionate and real. She understands the stressors of being a working parent with kids involved in many activities and coordinates rides between families and often provided rides to those without transportation. She gets it. Lynette is someone who gives her all and does not tire easily. She will champion youth sports and ensure our young people have access to recreation. She will make North Adams proud. I am asking you to vote for Lynette Bond. I can't imagine it will be anything less than a slam dunk!

Al Arnold
Selectman, Clarksburg, Mass.

Letter: Fitch for the Future

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I was born, raised, and had a full career as a public schoolteacher and administrator in Massachusetts.

Strong dedication and work ethic in one's career and community roles are of upmost importance to me. For this reason, I'd like to introduce you to my son, Andrew J. Fitch, who is campaigning to be the next Massachusetts state representative in the 1st Berkshire District.

Dedication, work ethic and community efforts define my son. I've witnessed this with my own eyes and have heard similar stories from his contemporaries, teachers, professors, employers and constituents for 41 years.

I'm 65 years old and very cognizant of the fact that the time has come to thank our older politicians for their work and to encourage our next generation to step forward in local, state and federal government. Think of how different and fast moving this world is than it was 20, 30, 40 or 50 years ago! This younger generation needs to be embraced for their understanding, growth, hard work and forward thinking. We will all benefit.

Andrew Fitch is for the future. Believe me, I know. He is what is needed at the state level; he will work tirelessly for your community. Get to know him and you'll agree! Visit his website at Andrewfitch.org. Get involved. Go to an event or gathering to meet him, talk with him, tell him your story and your needs, because he'll listen. If you do, I believe you'll agree with me about Andrew, and not just because I'm his Mom.
