NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The License Commission on Tuesday approved Hotel Downstreet for an all-alcohol license.
 
Innkeeper Tyler Carroll, representing NA Hotel LLC, said the hotel would sell bottles and cans for consumption within the hotel. 
 
"What we're going be doing is retail down below, which will be sold as a whole bottle of wine or premixed cocktail, the idea would be to serve those type of items," he said. "And then the only time we would be pouring a glass would be in the banquet space, which would be controlled by a staff member."
 
Although the license would cover hard alcohol, Carroll said the hotel would not be selling that at this time. The goal for now is wine and canned drinks such as the popular hard seltzers.
 
"We wouldn't be sending a bottle of Jack Daniels upstairs for sale," he said.
 
The license is specific to the hotel and does not include the restaurant, which is operated by a separate entity.
 
The commission also approved a one-day license to serve beer and wine for an event in the hotel's Studios B and C. The event, which will feature Jarvis Rockwell, runs from 5 to 7 on Thursday.
 
Another application for a one-day license by 413 Bistro, the restaurant located in the hotel, was continued as no one was there to speak the request.

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.
