Greylock Thunder Donates New LED Stadium Lights to Russell Field

Print Story | Email Story
ADAMS, Mass. — The Greylock Thunder Travel Softball League, a division of the long-standing Adams Lassie League Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, funded the installation of new state-of-the-art LED stadium lights at Russell Field.
 
For more than 50 years, the Adams Lassie League and its Greylock Thunder division have provided young athletes in Adams and surrounding communities with opportunities to learn, compete, and grow through the game of softball.
 
"These new lights will benefit not only our players, but the entire community," said President Corey Bishop. "Russell Field has been the heart of local softball for generations, and we're proud to help ensure it remains a safe, modern, and welcoming facility for years to come."
 
The LED lighting system replaces older fixtures with energy-efficient technology, dramatically improving field visibility for evening games while reducing long-term maintenance and utility costs. The upgrade also supports the League's commitment to sustainability and fiscal responsibility. The new lighting system is now fully operational.
 
There will be a "Lighting of the field" ceremony and a subsequent night game on Sept. 19 at 7 p.m.

Dream Green Eyes Expansion in Adams

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The town will consider whether to approve a special tax assessment agreement for Dream Green Recycling at a special town meeting anticipated for the fall. 
 
The recycling company helps people rid of bulky waste including mattresses, electronics, and appliances through a door-to-door pickup service across Western Mass, Springfield, Vermont, New York, and New Hampshire. 
 
Most recently, Dream Green received the International Secure Information Governance & Management Association and National Association for Information Destruction certification so it is able to provide data destruction and data-scrubbing. 
 
According to its website, Dream Green is one of 62 permitted mattress recyclers in the country, and Western Mass's only state Environmental Protection Agency 608 certified refrigerant recovery facility. 
 
The business, owned by Kyle Danforth, Cole Wojtkowski and Patrick Kennedy, has operated from leased facilities at 15 Printworks Drive in Adams and a 10,000-square-foot facility in Pittsfield. 
 
However, they hope to expand the Adams building and move everything they do in Pittsfield back to Adams. Last week, they purchased 15 Printworks Drive from MRA, marking the first step in a planned expansion. 
 
Over the years the company has diversified its services based on the needs of the community, becoming a one-stop-shop for recycling, Danforth said.
