LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — The Select Board has approved nearly all of the town's heavy equipment and liquor licenses for the upcoming year. 

The board voted on the licenses with little discussion during a brief meeting on Tuesday, its last of the year.

The only license withheld from approval was John's Tractor, as board Chair John Goerlach operates the business and board Member Timothy Sorrell could not attend. 

Approved liquor licenses included: Bob's Country Kitchen, Brookhouse, Donnybrook, Hendrick's Summit Lodge, I Shree-1 LLC, Lakeside Bar and Grill, Lanesboro Pizza, Lanesboro Wine and Spirits, Lanesborough Local, Pontusoosuc Package Store, Skyline on Seven and Ye Old Forge. 

Approved heavy equipment licenses included: Berkshire Gas, D Condron Construction, D.R. Billings, JSS Jr Enterprises, Maxymillian, Wagner Millwork LLC and WM Kelley & Sons Construction. 

In other business:

  • The board approved the construction of five new power poles by Eversource after a request from the company on Nov. 30. Goerlach said all of the poles are in the North Main Street area. 
  • The board ratified Diane Snyder as the part-time treasurer/collector. 
  • The board ratified the hire of Tanille Ciempa to the emergency services department. 

The board will have its first meeting of the new year at 6 p.m. on Jan. 9.

Pittsfield Wins County Youth Football Crown in Dramatic Fashion

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires.com Sports
PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- Jaziah Grandson raced 48 yards as time expired to score the winning touchdown as the Pittsfield Bulldogs Saturday beat Lanesborough, 20-14, in the championship game of the Berkshire County Youth Football League's Senior Division.
 
Grandson scored all three Pittsfield touchdowns in its come-from-behind victory at Berkshire Community College.
 
Earlier in the day, Dalton beat Adams-Cheshire, 22-6, in the title game of the Junior Division.
 
Grandson scored on a 58-yard run on fourth-and-10 near midfield with 7 minutes, 25 seconds left to play. Maxton Powell's two-point conversion tied the game at 14-14.
 
Lanesborough recovered the ensuing kickoff and drove to the Pittsfield 20 in the final minute.
 
Troy Maloy, who ran for a game-high 174 yards, carried the ball seven times for 48 yards in the final possession as the Tigers overcame two holding calls to get into the red zone with 24 seconds on the clock.
 
But on second-and 23 from the 25, Lanesborough fumbled, and Powell recovered for the Bulldogs at their 27 with 15 seconds left to play.
