CHESTERFIELD — Three contested races are on the ballot for this year’s town election scheduled to take place on Monday. Voting will take place at the Community Center from noon to 8 p.m.

Additionally, voters will be asked to confirm the vote at the March 26 special Town Meeting in favor of the modified cannabis bylaw, which prohibits all marijuana businesses except retailers.

The contested races are for seats on the Select Board, Chesterfield-Goshen School Committee and Hampshire Regional School Committee.

Incumbent Select Board member Roger Fuller is being challenged by Emma Dee Cinner.

Cinner, 80, is a retired medical technologist and an OSHA-certified infection control consultant. She is chair of the Cemetery Commission, and is working on implementing digital cemetery mapping and record-keeping.

She moved to Chesterfield in 1997 from Shutesbury and joined the Historical Commission. She wrote and applied for several grants, receiving approximately $130,000 for repairs in 11 cemeteries and the construction of the Veterans’ Park.

Her goal in seeking election is to create a positive change.

“Meetings need to be held when working people can attend,” Cinner stated.

Fuller, born and raised in Ashfield, has served on the Select Board for 27 years. He is co-founder and retired president of R&R Window Contractors.

In addition, he has served the town in other capacities — as chief procurement officer, on the Capital Planning and Emergency Planning committees, and on municipal broadband.

He said this was the first time anybody had run against him for the board.

“I was going to retire, but I’ve still got some things I want to do, plus a few projects I’d like to see started,” he said.

These are principally the North Road/Damon Pond project and the new town office and public safety complex, which has been part of the town’s capital plan for almost a decade.

Two newcomers, Kimberly Lyons Snape and Kayla Rida, are on the ballot for a three-year Chesterfield-Goshen School Committee seat. Incumbent Geoff Gougeon is not seeking re-election.

Lyons Snape, 37, is a New Hingham Elementary School parent and has been president of the Parent Teacher Organization for three years. She has volunteered at the school and with Chesterfield Recreation and Junior Olympics.

She said her goal in seeking election to the school committee is to prioritize the educational staff and support the needs and demands of the school.

Rida did not respond to a request for information.

Patricia Colson-Montgomery, a longtime member of the Hampshire Regional High School Committee, is being challenged for the position by Noah Berman.

Berman, 38, who grew up in Williamstown, has been a chef for 20 years, teaches culinary arts at a vocational high school and owns a small business. He said he’s running for election because he feels the Hampshire Regional School Committee needs some fresh ideas.

He’s concerned that the current school committee is either failing to value Hampshire Regional High School or failing to understand what it takes to keep it great.

Colson-Montgomery was an educator for 40 years and has been a Select Board member for 10 years. In her 14 years as a Hampshire Regional School Committee member, she has served on three search committees, worked on contract negotiations, and served on the policy and finance subcommittees.

A longtime member of the town Finance Committee, she said is always mindful of the need for balance between school and town needs.
