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.

Lanesborough, Mass.

CIAO of the Berkshires to Honor Al Belanger

Community submission
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — CIAO of the Berkshires, a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating athletic achievement and supporting Berkshire County students, will host a Tribute to Coach Al Belanger on Sunday, Oct. 4, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Berkshire Hills Country Club.
 
The afternoon event will honor Coach Belanger's extraordinary and decades-long contributions to youth soccer and student development throughout Berkshire County.
 
Belanger has been a defining figure in Berkshire County soccer for generations.  A respected coach and mentor at Pittsfield High, he began his coaching career at St. Joseph's High School, where he built one of the region's most respected soccer programs and mentored countless student-athletes who went on to play at the collegiate level and beyond.
 
His impact extends well beyond the field — as a longtime Director and Hall of Fame Committee Chairman of CIAO of the Berkshires, Coach Belanger has spent years championing the next generation of athletes through scholarship presentations and Hall of Fame inductions. His tireless dedication to the youth of Berkshire County has shaped lives both on and off the pitch.
 
The tribute celebration will feature light snacks and a cash bar, offering guests the opportunity to share memories and express gratitude for Coach Belanger's lasting legacy. Former players, families, colleagues, and community members are warmly encouraged to attend and join in honoring a man whose passion for the game and commitment to his students has left an indelible mark on the Berkshire community.
 
Tickets for the Tribute to Coach Al Belanger are $25 and can be purchased in advance. Community members who wish to support this event but are unable to attend may make a donation. For ticket information, donation inquiries, and event updates, please contact CIAO of the Berkshires at info@berkshirerunningcenter.com.
 
The event is open to the public, and all are welcome to attend this special afternoon of celebration and community.
