To the Editor:

As a North Adams city councilor, business owner, and community organizer, I know how essential strong, constructive, and collaborative leadership is for our city's future. My goals on the City Council are focused on setting North Adams up for long-term success. In pursuing these goals, I've collaborated extensively with Mayor Jennifer Macksey, and I believe we share a similar purpose.

Mayor Macksey has been a constructive, hard-working, and deeply caring partner. Whenever I see her around town, she greets people with warmth and a smile. While we don't always see eye to eye, I have faith in her leadership and her commitment to working with me and other community stakeholders to help North Adams truly shine.

I'll be voting for Mayor Jennifer Macksey on Nov. 4, and I encourage others to do the same.

Tunnel City Freight Holds Off Pirates in BABL Playoff Opener

By Ben McDonoughiBerkshires.com Sports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. -- Tunnel City Freight Saturday picked up a 4-2 victory over the Pirates in the Berkshire Adult Baseball League playoffs, overcoming an early deficit with four unanswered runs.
 
The teams will meet again at Joe Wolfe on Sunday morning at 10 for Game 2 of the best-of-three series; the third game, if necessary, is scheduled for 1 p.m.
 
The Pirates struck first in the bottom of the first inning. After Jason Ryan struck out to begin the inning, Phil Sullivan singled and Chad Walker reached on a fielder’s choice, allowing Sullivan to advance to third. Ryan Nalepa then delivered an RBI single to bring Sullivan home and give the Pirates the lead.
 
After a walk, Norm Sweet followed with an RBI single to extend the Pirates’ advantage to 2-0.
 
Tunnel City Freight answered in the top of the third. Jared Martin drew a walk before Nate Feder singled, and Nolan Brassard also walked to load the bases. DJ Clark was then hit by a pitch, bringing home a run. Kevin Lamb followed with a double play that ended the inning, but not before another run crossed the plate, tying the game at 2-2.
 
Tunnel City took the lead in the fourth. After a leadoff walk and a double put runners in scoring position, a sacrifice fly brought home the go-ahead run. Tunnel City added another baserunner with a walk, but the Pirates escaped the inning trailing 3-2.
 
The Pirates had opportunities to respond, including a pair of singles in the bottom of the fifth, but Tunnel City worked out of the inning without allowing a run.
