Letter: Jennifer Macksey for Mayor

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Jennifer Macksey is quite simply the best mayoral candidate for North Adams. As any of Jen's coworkers, current or former, will tell you, Jen is a strong independent woman who has been successful in every position she has held. I have personally seen her incredibly strong work ethic and she puts her whole heart into everything she does — just imagine what she will do for the city she loves.

What an incredible benefit to have our new mayor walk into City Hall with the knowledge of how city government works. She will brainstorm with all the city departments to figure out what needs to be prioritized and get to work on it. There will be no long learning curve.

I find it disturbing that the only reason I hear to not vote for Jen is that she will be our former mayor's "mouthpiece." For those of you who have made that statement, you obviously don't know Jen.


She is as passionate about this city as anyone I have ever met. Safety, jobs, education and housing are all on the top of her to-do list and she wants to work with the citizens of the city to improve them all.

If you are on the fence about who to vote for, I urge you to talk to Jen, she welcomes any and all conversations. I also urge you to watch the 10/21/21 debate.

I support Jen Macksey and urge you to do the same, she will make this city proud.

Rebecca Cellana
North Adams, Mass.

LONDONDERRY, N.H. -- Olivia Perry went 2-for-2 with a home run and three RBIs Saturday to lead the Greylock Thunder 18U travel softball team to a 10-5 win over the Mass Drifters at the New England Fusion College Showcase.

 
Izabela Tart was 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles, and Paxton Ebling tripled in a 12-hit attack for the Thunder.
 
Perry also struck out three in three innings of work in the circle before being relieved by Emma Lemire, who finished off the five-inning win.
 
The Thunder had a tougher matchup in their second game of pool play but prevailed, 2-0, against the Vermont Storm 16U.
 
Marlee Arnhold was the difference in that win, striking out four, walking one and scattering four hits in a complete-game, seven-inning shutout.
 
Mariah Barnes singled and drove in a run, and Kaleigh Jaros singled and scored a run for the Thunder, who made the most of their two hits.
