ADAMS â With the March 15 filing deadline approaching, four incumbent candidates already have declared their intent to run for reelection in the townâs May 3 contest.
Haley Meczywor has filed to run for reelection to a three-year term as town clerk, James Loughman will seek another three-year term as library trustee, and Bruce Dale Shepley has filed to run again for a three-year term on the Cemetery Commission and the Northern Berkshire Vocational Regional School Committee.
There are two open seats on the Select Board. Incumbent John Duval is expected to run for another three-year term; the other open seat was held by the late Jim Bush. There are no candidates for that seat as of yet.
Steve Skrocki, with the Department of Public Works, told the Parks Commission on Monday that, according to the contractor charged with overhauling the playing fields, the field should not be used this spring and summer. We are really going to have to think about the usage of fields and the clustering, Chairwoman Cindy Bird said. DPW Director Robert Tober said the contractor has suggested that it not be played on until the fall so the grass has time to settle. Also, there are still questions surrounding the new infield material, and Tober said they will not have a sense of how it will hold up until the late spring.
