North Adams Census Forms Mailed; Dog Licenses Available

Print Story | Email Story
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — City residents should be on lookout for their 2012 municipal census, which is expected to arrive by Friday, Jan. 6.

Review the information printed on the forms and make any necessary corrections. If someone has moved, it is helpful if the new address can be provided. Nursing home patients, students and those on active military duty who would normally reside with you should be listed on the form.

Sign the bottom of the form and return it to the city clerk's office in person or by mail.

The census is important to all residents in the community and everyone should be counted. It is very important that our voting records are accurate; many times we are asked to prove someone is or has been a resident of North Adams and without the census form it is impossible to do that.

On the reverse side is also the option of licensing your dog. Complete the form and include the fee and the clerk's office will mail the license to you. Annual licensing is $20 for male or females dogs that are not neutered or spayed and $8 for neutered or spayed animals.

If you have previously licensed your dog in North Adams, the current rabies status will be on file. You may call the office during regular business hours at 413-662-3015 to check if your dog needs a rabies vaccine shot. 

If you have never registered your dog here, then a copy of the rabies certificate must be presented at the time of licensing.

You may also send for the license by mailing City Clerk's Office, 10 Main St., North Adams, MA 01247 and enclosed a self-addressed envelope. Beginning May 1, a late fee of $5 will be imposed.

For more information, call 413-662-3015.

McCann Recognizes Superintendent Award Recipient

Landon LeClair and Superintendent James Brosnan with Landon's parents Eric and Susan LeClair, who is a teacher at McCann. 
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Superintendent's Award has been presented to Landon LeClair, a senior in McCann Technical School's advanced manufacturing course. 
 
The presentation was made last Thursday by Superintendent Jame Brosnan after Principal Justin Kratz read from teachers' letters extolling LeClair's school work, leadership and dedication. 
 
"He's become somewhat legendary at the Fall State Leadership Conference for trying to be a leader at his dinner table, getting an entire plate of cookies for him and all his friends," read Kratz to chuckles from the School Committee. "Landon was always a dedicated student and a quiet leader who cared about mastering the content."
 
LeClair was also recognized for his participation on the school's golf team and for mentoring younger teammates. 
 
"Landon jumped in tutoring the student so thoroughly that the freshman was able to demonstrate proficiency on an assessment despite the missed class time for golf matches," read Kratz.
 
The principal noted that the school also received feedback from LeClair's co-op employer, who rated him with all fours.
 
"This week, we sent Landon to our other machine shop to help load and run parts in the CNC mill," his employer wrote to the school. LeClair was so competent the supervisor advised the central shop might not get him back.
