ADAMS Mass. — Adams Free Library is hosting a free, literacy event for families that is multi-sensory and based on children's books on April 23, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
 
The event is presented by Emilee Reynolds, an Early Childhood Educator and owner of Miss Emilee ECE. Reynolds has more than 15 years of experience working in the field throughout all of Berkshire County and we are excited that she is returning to share her curriculum with the Adams community.
 
The program is for children ages 6 and under and their caregivers. It will include stations that engage different senses, coupled with connections to various children's books. The activities include a playdough station, music and sound station, and a tactile and touch station. A light table will also be utilized in one of the stations. The goal of the program is for the young participants to build academic skills through sensory play. Reynolds's program weaves academics and play together so all participants enjoy the learning activities.
 
This program is funded in part by a grant from the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
 
Families with children ages six and under are invited to attend this multi-sensory literacy event on Thursday, April 23,  from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. No registration is required, and an adult must accompany participants. Library events are free and open to the public. Attendance at library programs constitutes consent to be photographed; photos may be used in print or electronic publicity for the Adams Free Library.

Adams Police Takes League Title

By Ben McDonoughFor iBerkshires.com Sports
In a hard-fought three-game championship series, Adams Police saved its best performance for last.
 
Behind a dominant outing from Lador Lawson and an offense that capitalized on nearly every opportunity, Adams Police defeated Adams Community Bank 10-0 in five innings Saturday to capture the Adams-Cheshire League championship.
 
Lawson was in command from the opening pitch, retiring the first two batters he faced with a strikeout and a fly ball before working around a two-out double by Maddox Milesi. The right-hander stranded the runner with another strikeout, setting the tone for a championship performance in the circle.
 
The Police offense answered immediately in the bottom of the first.
 
Hudson Ziter led off with a single before Lawson drew a walk and stole second to put two runners in scoring position. Avry Decker followed with a two-run hit to open the scoring. Danny Collins added an RBI single later in the inning, and another run came home during an aggressive baserunning sequence as Adams Police built a 5-0 advantage before Adams Community Bank recorded the third out.
 
Lawson continued to cruise in the second, striking out all three Adams Community Bank batters he faced.
 
The Police added to their lead in the bottom half of the inning when Ziter collected his second hit of the day. Moments later, Lawson drove a two-run home run to left field, extending the advantage to 7-0. Decker later reached with another base hit, while Adams Community Bank pitcher Mason Kucka settled in to record consecutive strikeouts and prevent further damage.
