CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. -- The 1X Lacrosse seventh- and eighth-grade travel team recently went 3-0 at the Shenendehowa Fall Brawl Lacrosse Tournament.
 
More than 85 players competed for the 1X program this fall.
 
"Our model is flexible, and just this past weekend we had players show up whose soccer or football season just ended," 1X director Jeff Stripp said. "We welcome those players with open arms as their fall season winds down."
 
Among the players from Berkshire County who competed at the Shenendehowa tournament are: Mount Greylock's Tate Kuster and Cam Taylor, Wahconah's Max Bolland and Sky Patti, Pittsfield's James Kastrinakis and Jack Ballinger, Hoosac Valley's Lucas Waterman and Lee's Jamie McDonnell. The team also included players from Deerfield, Hoosick Falls, N.Y., and Bennington, Manchester and Rutland in Vermont.
 
The seventh- and eighth-grade team travels to Glenville, N.Y., this weekend and finishes the fall season in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Dalton Planning Board OKs Gravel Company Permit

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
DALTON, Mass. — The Planning Board approved the renewal of Nichols Sand and Gravel's special permit for earth removal. 
 
The company, located at 190 Cleveland Road, operates a gravel pit there. 
 
The hours of operation will remain 7 to 4 p.m. The commission approved owner Paul Nichols' request to allow trucks to depart the property in either direction. 
 
Nichols has to apply for renewal of the special permit every year. The previous permit required the truck to exit the property to the right.
 
It makes more sense to go left if truck drivers have to go to the Pittsfield area, Nichols said. He has talked to the residents in the area and they are agreeable to the change. 
 
Former residents requested this stipulation nearly 16 years ago to reduce the number of trucks using the residential street to avoid disturbing the quality of life and neighborhood. 
 
There weren't any residents present during the meeting who expressed concerns regarding this change.
