Letter: Re-Elect Gordon Hubbard to Lanesborough Select Board

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

I support the re-election of Gordon Hubbard to the Select Board in the town of Lanesborough.

Mr. Hubbard prepares himself well by reading all the agenda materials before the Select Board meetings. He is very transparent, has no personal agenda, has an open mind and the business acumen that has worked well with the fiscal responsibilities of the Board of Selectmen.

Gordon has attended Planning Board, Zoning Board, Finance Committee, Recreation Committee, Board of Health, and Economic Development Committee meetings and every Business-to-Business Event while serving as a selectman in this town. He is very sincere in his desire to continue serving the community and he has always been courteous and a true gentleman when responding to the public at these meetings.

Given my roles in town government serving on the Economic Development Committee as the chair, member of both the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals and having attended just about every Select Board meeting over the past several years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the differences in the candidates in their preparation for the meetings they are involved in. I've also read Mr. Hubbard's platform, goals, experience, and education on www.reelectgordonhubbard.com.

Gordon is by far the more prepared, experienced, and professional of the two candidates in this race.

The town of Lanesborough has some very serious issues that require the best, most qualified person for the job. Transparency and accountability are very important when running for public office at this high level! Gordon Hubbard is by far that person.

I'll cast my vote on Tuesday, June 21, for Gordon Hubbard, Select Board member for three more years! Your vote is important – remember to vote – get the vote out – remember, every vote has an impact on the future of our town.

Barbara Davis-Hassan
Lanesborough, Mass.

Pittsfield 10s Respond to Coach’s Challenge, Win Title

By Ben McDonoughiBerkshires.com Sports
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – One day after a performance that left head coach Matt Stracuzzi wanting more, Pittsfield answered the challenge in convincing fashion.
 
Behind a dominant outing from PJ Garner, timely hitting throughout the lineup and a defense that made every big play it needed to, Pittsfield rolled to a 13-3 victory over Dalton on Friday to sweep the best-of-three District 1 Championship Series.
 
The win was exactly the response Stracuzzi hoped to see after speaking with his team following its previous game.
 
“I kind of challenged the kids [Thursday],” Stracuzzi said after the win. “I don’t think we played that well yesterday. I thought the first inning [Friday]] we played okay, but from the third inning on, I thought they played to their capabilities. They played as good as we can play. They hit the ball well, their heads were in the game.”
 
Pittsfield wasted little time setting the tone.
 
Knox Daniels opened the game with a single before Garner crushed an RBI triple into the gap to give Pittsfield an early lead. Luca Bassi followed with an RBI groundout to bring Garner home, and after Henry Chevrier doubled and Caleb Tierney singled, Pittsfield had Dalton on its heels before Camden Duma escaped the inning with a strikeout and a fly out.
 
Garner immediately carried that momentum to the mound. Dalton put two runners on with singles from Finlay Storti and Weston Dietlin in the bottom of the first, but Garner stranded both runners with help from his defense. After a walk loaded the bases with two outs, Jayson Haskins lined a ball toward center field that Daniels tracked down for a terrific catch to end the inning and preserve Pittsfield’s 2-0 advantage.
