Letter: Breen Has Right Experience for North Adams Council

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

Well, I just voted, and I gave my first vote for City Council to Pete Breen. Why, you ask?

No other new candidate has the experience and devotion and has been as generous with their time. Over the past 40 years, Pete has served on many boards and commissions. He has worked for a variety of employers including MCLA, where Pete was a facilitator and instructor for technology and curriculum development and assistant registrar. Pete took that experience over into the town of Adams, where he implemented the town's entire computer system, serving as the town's technology administrator. Pete then went farther south, where he was a member of the adjunct faculty at BCC for four years.

Shifting gears into education, Pete taught computer science at Hoosac Valley for 12 years, while also serving in the district office and as the pupil transportation officer.



After retiring from compensated work, Pete set his sights on volunteering in North Adams serving on the License Board Commission and serving as the North Adams representative for the Northern Berkshire Vocational School District, and finally, Pete's current passion, serving on the Hoosic River Revival Board.

That's why I gave my first vote to Pete Breen. And I hope that you do too.

David Willette
North Adams, Mass.

Back to School Starts in the Driveway

7 Things Every Berkshire Family Should Check Before the School-Year Rush
 
 
Back-to-school season means more than backpacks, school supplies and new schedules. Between school drop-offs, practices, weekend games and busy family calendars, your vehicle plays a big role in keeping everyone moving all year long.
 
Before the school-year rush kicks into high gear, the team at T&M Automotive recommends getting your vehicle checked now so you can drive with confidence all year long.
 
1. Check Your Brakes
More stop-and-go driving and busy school zones put extra stress on your brakes. If you hear squealing or grinding, or feel a vibration when braking, don't wait to have them checked. Catching a brake problem early can help keep your family safe and prevent more expensive repairs later.
 
2. Inspect Your Tires
Check your tire tread depth and tire pressure — including the spare. Properly inflated tires with adequate tread improve safety, handling and fuel efficiency, especially as fall weather and wet roads arrive in the Berkshires.
 
3. Don't Ignore Warning Lights
That check-engine light or tire-pressure warning light probably isn't going to disappear on its own. Addressing a small issue now can prevent a bigger and more costly problem later — and reduce the chances of an unexpected breakdown during a busy school week.
