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.

CATA's 'I Am a Part of Art' Exhibit Celebrates Creativity and Inclusion

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Inclusion is at the heart of Community Access to the Arts, and this year's annual art show showcases that commitment through a diverse mixed-media exhibition featuring interactive elements that make the experience engaging and accessible for visitors of all abilities.
 
The annual "I Am a Part of Art" exhibit is the organization's biggest exhibit of the year, this year featuring over 300 works of art by 250 artists with disabilities, spanning the Lichtenstein Center and Clark Art Institute, said Chris Watford, CATA communications director. 
 
"This gallery right now is CATA's mission in action, and I hope that you see each piece as a window into each artist's perspective and an invitation to step into our CATA world," Executive Director Margaret Keller said.
 
On Thursday, the nonprofit kicked off the exhibition with an opening celebration at the center, where joy and pride were evident as community members smiled, admired the artwork and celebrated the artists behind it.
 
"How amazing it is to stand in the middle of this room and witness the radiance and the beauty of these perspectives, and to take in all of this individuality and talent. Every artist needs an audience, and all of you here today are so important to our ongoing work," Keller said.
 
Last year, CATA started using the Bloomberg Connects app, which not only showcases the artworks but also provides viewers with behind-the-scenes insights, allowing them to learn more about the exhibit and hear from the artists through video and audio recordings.
 
"We learned a ton last year and had incredible feedback from the community about how impactful that app was," Watford said.
