DEVENS, Mass. — Two girls lacrosse travel teams in the Equinox Lacrosse program turned in strong performances at The Chill, a college recruiting tournament held Oct. 18 and 19.
The Equinox 26/27 team capped off a dominant day by bringing home the championship, battling through a competitive field that featured some of the strongest club teams from across New England. The group’s teamwork, hustle, and determination were on full display as they earned the top spot in their division.
The 28/29 team also impressed, going toe-to-toe with high-level competition and showing major growth throughout the tournament. Their energy and resilience caught the attention of spectators and college coaches alike.
Athletes from Manchester, Vt.’s, Burr and Burton Academy and Mount Greylock Regional School played key roles for Equinox. Coached by Ken Stefanak and Jeff Stripp, the teams’ strong play contributed to Equinox’s success against some of the best talent in the region.
“It was a great day for both teams,” said Stripp, the varsity girls coach at Mount Greylock. “The girls worked hard, supported each other, and played with confidence against some really talented programs. We’re proud of the way they represented Equinox Lacrosse.”
This season marks the second year that Equinox has offered both summer and fall lacrosse programs for boys and girls in the region, reflecting the organization’s continued growth and success. The fall season began in September, with weekly practices for all teams and concludes with teams playing tournaments..
“Our mission has always been to grow the game in southern Vermont and the surrounding region,” said Edmund Edwards of Equinox Lacrosse. “We’re not just focused on developing skilled players—we’re committed to honoring the game through sportsmanship, teamwork, and a positive culture that teaches our athletes to compete the right way. It’s exciting to see the program expanding every season.”

Williamstown Health Board Talks Smoking at Senior Apartments
By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Board of Health on Tuesday discussed how to address reports of smoking inside the senior apartments at Proprietor's Field and Highland Woods.
Health Inspector Ruth Russell asked the board how she should handle the complaints she has received in light of the fact that the town bylaw against smoking in multifamily housing remains in legal limbo.
The town does have a bylaw already on the books about smoking in workplaces, Russell noted, and it is arguable that the age-restricted housing complexes fall under that provision.
"I was hesitant to call it a work place," Russell said. "But there are maintenance workers in and out of there constantly, and someone pointed out that home health-care workers are coming in and out doing their job.
"I was wondering if I could get your opinion on whether that is the right use of this [workplace] bylaw or not."
The question would become moot if the Attorney General's Office signs off on a bylaw passed by May's annual town meeting banning smoking in multifamily dwellings with more than four units. Proprietor's Field and Highland Woods both would fall under the new bylaw if it is approved by the commonwealth, which has asked for more time than customarily is needed for review of town meeting actions.
Board of Health Chair Devan Bartels asked Russell to clarify that the complaints she was receiving came from residents and not on-site employees, and Russell said that was the case.
