NEW HARTFORD, NY – The Williams Men’s golf team completed their first round at the Hamilton Invitational, shooting a 322 team total and is currently sitting in 6th place behind Skidmore (300), Hamilton (307), Salem State (315), and NYU and Manhattanville (318).
 
Early on the players fought through some high winds and cold air, as Yahnundasis Golf Club held its own with no teams breaking 300 today.
 
First Year Jack Ervasti played very solidly today, shooting a nice 77. Chris Valle 2012 continued his strong fall season with a 79. First Year Ryan Brand shot an 82 in his first competitive round in Eph uniform, firing consistent 41’s on each side. Wyatt Sparks 2013 and Siwol Chang 2012 both struggled to find their games today as they shot 84 and 85, respectively.
 


Skidmore had all of their players score in the 70’s and hold a seven stroke lead over host school Hamilton, as the final round will commence tomorrow.
 
The final round will be played at Skenendoa Golf Club in Clinton, NY, and will be a shotgun start at 10:00AM.
 
Tomorrow’s round will wrap up the fall portion of the season for the Men’s golf team, as they look forward to hosting the NESCAC Championship in the spring at the newly renovated Taconic Golf Club, after having won the NESCAC Qualifier last weekend.

Multiple Departments Respond to Lanesborough Structure Fire

By Brittany PolitoiBerkshires Staff

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Multiple fire departments responded to a structure fire off Narragansett Avenue on Wednesday afternoon. 

The Fire Department received a call from the owner of 6 Bangor St. reporting a smoke and flames at around 1:44 p.m.

Firefighters arriving on scene reported heavy smoke emanating from the the 1940s single-family ranch home in the thickly settle neighborhood.

The blaze was brought under control in less than an hour and there were no civilian or firefighter injuries. 

"The homeowner was outside doing some work, evidently, opened the door when she came back in the house, and there were flames and smoke, so she backed out and called us, and that's all we know right now," Deputy Fire Chief Glen Storie said around 2:35 p.m. 

The fire was out at that time, and first responders observed "quite a bit of damage" to the home. The cause is still under investigation. 

Lanesborough, Cheshire, and Pittsfield departments responded to the scene, and Hancock covered the station during the call. 

"The first crew in knocked the fire right down with the first engine," Storie said. 

Smoke could be seen coming from the back of the home. Part of Narragansett Avenue and Bangor Avenue were blocked off while firefighters battled the blaze.
