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.

Nor'easter Set to Drop Foot of Snow Over Berkshires

Here we go again. 
 
A powerful Nor'easter is set to drop up to a foot of snow over the region, right on the tail Friday's storm that dropped up to 6 inches in some areas. 
 
The National Weather Service in Albany, N.Y., has issued a winter storm warning beginning at 1 p.m. on Sunday through 7 p.m. on Monday for the Berkshires, eastern New York, Southern Vermont and northern Connecticut.
 
Heavy snow expected with total accumulations between 8 and 14 inches with some locally higher totals possible over the high peaks of the Catskills. Winds could gust as high as 45 mph.
 
The storm center was lining up to hit New York City but has been shifting north. Southern Berkshire could see a few more inches that North County, unless the storm moves further north. 
 
Vermont schoolchildren will be starting their winter vacation Monday but Berkshire kids will be headed back to school. But they might be getting an extra vacation day -- Greylock Snow Day has an 80 percent probability for of delays, a 75 percent chance for closures in South County. 
 
With the storm sweeping in by Sunday afternoon, we'll be on the lookout for any cancellations. This post will also be updated if new information becomes available.
