Print Story | Email Story
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — There are no candidates yet for the Select Board with one week to go before nomination papers are due. 
 
Jeffrey Levanos, who was the only candidate in a special election in 2021, will not run for another term. 
 
Levanos had previously said he was done with public service after serving three terms on the School Committee and two on the Select Board, including being chairman of each at the same time for a period. But vacancies on the board twice had him running again. 
 
He ran as a write-in in 2019 to complete a term when no one stepped forward and on the ballot in the December 2021 election to complete a three-year term ending this year.
 
Also on the ballot this year are one-year terms for moderator and tree warden; three-year seats on the School Committee, Board of Health, Board of Library Trustees and War Memorial Committee; and one five-year term on the Planning Board. 
 
Nomination papers are now available in the town clerk's office. All signatures must be in ink; no electronic signatures are allowed. Completed nomination papers must be returned to the clerk's office for certification no later than Wednesday, March 27.

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.
