PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Pittsfield Cooperative Bank (Co-op Bank) announced a new partnership with Brown & Brown, insurance brokerages. 
 
Together, the two organizations will offer customers and community members throughout the Berkshires access to a range of insurance products backed by trusted, local service.
 
Unlike national call centers or impersonal online platforms, this partnership brings together two organizations with ties to Berkshire County. Brown & Brown's regional team of insurance professionals live and work in the community, offering local personal attention, and providing responsive support.
 
"At the Co-op, our mission has always been to serve our customers and strengthen the communities we call home," said Gregg Levante, President of Pittsfield Cooperative Bank. "Partnering with Brown & Brown means our customers can access top-tier insurance solutions while working with people who understand their needs and live right here in the Berkshires."
 
Through this partnership, customers can access comprehensive insurance coverage— including auto, home, umbrella, life, recreational vehicles, commercial property, liability, and organizational employee benefits—delivered with the same personal touch and community commitment that define both organizations.
 
"We're excited to team up with Pittsfield Cooperative Bank to support Berkshire County residents and businesses," said Darin Burniske, Executive Vice President at Brown & Brown. "Our local team shares the Co-op's commitment to building long-term relationships and helping people protect what matters most."

DALTON, Mass. — At just 16 years old, Salvatore LaBeau is already making avalanches in the national snocross racing scene.
 
Last weekend, LaBeau raced in the Mount Zion Snocross National race in Ironwood, Mich., the first of eight races in the national circuit series. 
 
Competitions take place across national circuits, attracting racers from various regions and even internationally. 
 
Labeau rides for CT Motorsports, a team based in Upstate New York, on a 2025 Polaris 600R. 
 
This is LaBeau's first time competing on the CT Motorsports team. Years prior, he raced for a team owned by Bruce Gaspardi, owner of South Side Sales and Service in North Adams.  
 
Despite a bad first day on Friday when he fell off his snowmobile and didn't make the final, LaBeau carried on with confidence and on Saturday obtained his first national podium, placing in third for the Sport Lite class. 
 
"I'm feeling good. I'm gonna start training more when I come home, and go to the gym more. And I am really excited, because I'm in 11th right now," the Wahconah High student said.
