Print Story | Email Story
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Mayoral candidate Pam Malumphy is hosting a "get out the vote" Central Block party on Tuesday, Sept. 8, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

The "2nd Tuesday" party at 75 North St. includes music by Annie and the Hedonists and is free and open to the public.

Malumphy invites residents to listen to great music and hear why she is perfect for Pittsfield.

Malumphy was a member of the Pittsfield City Council when the Office of Cultural Development was created and was quickly appointed to its search committee. With past positions with Boston Symphony Orchestra and the nationally renowned Huntington Theatre Company in Boston, she says she loves the business of art and the art of business.

Metroland 2008 named Annie and the Hedonists the Best Acoustic Band in the New York Capital District: "What's your pleasure, folkie? Country blues? Bluegrass? Celtic music? Current singer-songwriters? With Annie Rosen's world-class vocals topping off layers of fine instrumental work, this local quartet offers one-stop listening in more tasty genres than you can shake a pick at. That's why they take the acoustic cake."

Paid for by The Committee to Elect Pam Malumphy

DALTON, Mass. — At just 16 years old, Salvatore LaBeau is already making avalanches in the national snocross racing scene.
 
Last weekend, LaBeau raced in the Mount Zion Snocross National race in Ironwood, Mich., the first of eight races in the national circuit series. 
 
Competitions take place across national circuits, attracting racers from various regions and even internationally. 
 
Labeau rides for CT Motorsports, a team based in Upstate New York, on a 2025 Polaris 600R. 
 
This is LaBeau's first time competing on the CT Motorsports team. Years prior, he raced for a team owned by Bruce Gaspardi, owner of South Side Sales and Service in North Adams.  
 
Despite a bad first day on Friday when he fell off his snowmobile and didn't make the final, LaBeau carried on with confidence and on Saturday obtained his first national podium, placing in third for the Sport Lite class. 
 
"I'm feeling good. I'm gonna start training more when I come home, and go to the gym more. And I am really excited, because I'm in 11th right now," the Wahconah High student said.
