ADAMS, Mass. — Too Human music group to play "A Celebration of Song - The Great American Songbook and Beyond;" an hour of jazz standards and jazzy bluesy originals at the Adams Free Library on July 18, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 
 
This program is sponsored in part by a grant from the Cultural Council of the Northern Berkshires, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
 
According to a press release:
 
Too Human are composers and songwriters. As staff songwriters for publishing giant Warner/Chappell Music, they wrote songs for multi-platinum recording artists including Cher, Pat Benatar, Teddy Pendergrass, Angela Bofill, Nancy Wilson, Agnetha Foltskog of ABBA and Martha Davis of the Motels; and for TV shows including Fame, General Hospital, and As The World Turns. But they eventually followed the urge to perform their own songs and formed a band, Too Human. From orchestral compositions to boppy jazz pieces, quirky little snippets and moody vignettes, their music will be enjoyed by all.
 
Library events are free and open to the public.  

Thursday, July 18, 6:00 p.m. Concert Event at Adams Free Library

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.
