ADAMS, Mass.—Images Cinema and the Adams Theater will hold a series of film screenings this fall.

The theater will show selections from the 1930s-1960s from September 12 - October 10. All shows are at 7 PM and are ticketed events; visit the Adams Theater website to reserve tickets. Tickets are $8 ($9.50 including fees). 

The Shows

10/3 - 7 PM: Vertigo

10/10 - 7PM: The Graduate

These six selections from the 1930s-1960s represent some of the greatest achievements in film, at a time when the original Hollywood studio system was at the height of its power. This period was also when The Adams Theater was originally operating as a movie theater. Come catch a flick and drink in some nostalgia with two Northern Berkshire theaters of a certain vintage.

"We’re excited to present the first of many future collaborations with our friends at Images Cinema," said Adams Theater founder and artistic director Yina Moore. "We have so much history and audience in common, and collaboration is at the heart of what the Adams Theater does. We’re looking forward to welcoming audience members to relive some Hollywood–and Berkshire–history."  

"Images is especially excited to have The Adams among our collaborators this year, and first out of the gate," says Dan Hudson, Images Cinema Executive Director. "This series is all-killer, no-filler, and we're honored to receive support from an Arts Build Community grant from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation to support an expansive vision of more film programming around the Northern Berkshires."

Cheshire Explores Partnership with Lanesborough Police Department

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
CHESHIRE, Mass. — The Select Board has been talking with the Lanesborough Police Department to determine if a partnership would be advantageous. 
 
During initial discussions, it was believed that a 50/50 split of sharing services is not feasible. However, the town officials say the investigation into possible funding options are not over. 
 
The Select Board has scheduled a meeting with interim Chief Timothy Garner, Lanesborough Chief Rob Derksen, and state Sen. Paul Mark to see if there are state monies or grants available for a regionalization-type arrangement, board Chair Shawn McGrath said at Last week's meeting.
 
Cheshire has five police officers and a chief; Lanesborough six full-time officers and multiple part-time officers and a chief. Both departments are seeking to construct new police stations. 
 
Options include merging the department with a 50/50 cost split, which was determined to be expensive for Cheshire, a contractual arrangement in which the fee would cover additional officers to provide coverage, or other shared service arrangements that might bring costs down.
 
"I don't think we should shut the door on that," McGrath said. 
 
Exploring these possibilities will likely take several months and he said Garner does not have any qualms about serving in the interim until decisions about the structure of the department can be made.
