ACS Softball League Takes First Swings of Season

Community submissionPrint Story | Email Story
CHESHIRE, Mass. -- Adams-Cheshire-Savoy Girls Softball kicked off its 2021 season on May 8 with a day full of games and some special first pitches.
 
The day started off with the first ever official softball game at the field complex in Cheshire.  ACS, in conjunction with the town of Cheshire, had been working through the fall and spring to rehabilitate a space at the field to host practices and games for the league’s players.  
 
On hand to mark the inaugural event was Cheshire Select Board Chair Michelle Francesconi, who tossed the ceremonial first pitch setting the season underway.
 
Prior to the final contest of the day at Reid Field in Adams, newly elected Adams Select board member Howard Rosenberg was on hand to fulfil his “first official order of business” by throwing out a first pitch of his own.
 
Rosenberg then spent some time greeting players and families along with taking in some great softball action.
 
“This is a great day for the players, families, and communities who work together to provide this memorable experience for the children," ACS President Lou Moser.

Adams Parts Ways With Police Chief

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
ADAMS, Mass. — The town has parted ways with its police chief. 
 
K. Scott Kelley "is no longer employed by the Town of Adams," according to interim Town Administrator Holli Jayko. 
 
The Board of Selectmen voted on Sept. 8 to put the police chief on a paid leave of absence but town officials have declined to answer repeated questions about the nature of the absence other than to clarify it was not a "suspension."
 
His departure follows an executive session held by the Selectmen last Wednesday to discuss a personnel matter other than professional competence, including health or discipline, or dismissal. 
 
A request for further information on whether Kelley's leaving was through resignation or termination was not provided, or whether his contract had been paid out. 
 
"The Town does not comment on personnel matters and will have no further comment on this matter at this time," responded Selectmen Chair John Duval via email on Friday. 
 
Kelley, who moved here to take the post of chief in 2021, has reportedly sold his home.
