Letter: Ivar Kronick Is Clear Choice for Pittsfield's Ward 2

Letter to the EditorPrint Story | Email Story

To the Editor:

I am writing this to give my unqualified support to the candidacy of C. Ivar Kronick for the position of city councilor in Ward 2.

Mr. Kronick has been running a personal campaign by visiting residents of our neighborhood (Dalton Avenue area), thus making himself directly available to his potential constituents. It has been many years since I recall a candidate knocking on doors and answering questions, one on one, and in person.

This personal touch conveys a message that he will remain immediately available to the electorate. His campaign position flyer provides a clear, unambiguous description of his platform. His views on important issues are that of an independent-minded person, not rigidly beholden to a one-party ideology. I firmly believe the residents of Pittsfield, Ward 2, will be well served by electing Mr. Kronick.

Mark White
Dalton Avenue, Pittsfield, Mass.

Housing Secretary Visits Pittsfield's 'The First'

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Just five months after opening, The First has already become a community hub for individuals in need of resources or a place to decompress. 
 
The space is filled with donated items from a room full of clothing, lockers, a classroom, couches, a television, a ping-pong table, and more.  
 
Located at 74 First St., the resource center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 
 
"[Visitors] come up to us daily and admit that this is a beautiful space, and we want to keep it in the community as a whole… It's a wonderful place for them to feel as part of the community," The First Program Director, John Jablonski, said. 
 
The First was one of the stops on Housing Secretary Juana Matias' tour of supportive housing initiatives in Pittsfield.  In February, she was appointed to lead the state Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities.
