NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Led by his fifth place finish in last weekend's North Atlantic Conference Championships, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts senior Sean Cota was named to the league's All-Conference First Team. Cota has been a four-year member of the golf program.

Husson University junior Lance Bernier carded a 145 (75, 70) at the NAC Championship this past weekend, earning NAC Golfer of the Year honors. Bernier's even-par 70 on Sunday was the low-round of the tournament, as Husson won its seventh-straight title.

Bernier makes his first appearance on the All-Conference First Team, and is joined by teammate Greg Martin, the league's Rookie of the Year. Castleton's Brian Fitzgerald, the 2011 Rookie of the Year, finished five strokes back in second place, while Matt Sebet and Orion Cochrane of Salem State and University of Maine at Farmington respectively finished tied for third. MCLA's Sean Cota rounded out the first-team honorees, deadlocked in fifth.

New North Adams Restaurant Approved for Liquor License

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A new restaurant on Main Street, a provisions shop and a convenience store all got the nod from the License Commission on Tuesday.
 
Siblings Colleen and Sean Taylor are expanding their cuisine empire yet again with the establishment of Main & Mill in the old TD Bank. They were before the commission to apply for an all-alcohol license. 
 
The building is owned by Ginko on Main Street LLC, which has granted 20 years exclusive possession of the property to Latent Builds as the developer. Jack and Suzy Wadsworth, behind Ginko, are development partners with Salvatore Perry and Karla Rothstein of Latent.
 
The bank closed in early 2021 and purchased by Ginko late that year. Plans for the property unveiled three years ago envisioned a restaurant, retail, a park and rooftop bar. 
 
The building's hosted some pop-up eateries and is currently under construction for the new restaurant. 
 
Colleen Taylor said the restaurant will be open seven days a week serving lunch and dinner, and be open early for coffee. 
 
"It's not going to be a very big restaurant. It's about the same size as Trail House, except for Trail House has a bigger patio, so about the same seating," she said.
