NEW BEDFORD After Gov. Charlie Baker announced new methods of COVID-19 testing in schools, Greater New Bedford districts have decided to decline the offer.
At the Jan. 12 school committee meeting, New Bedford Public Schools Superintendent Thomas Anderson said the district will not move forward with Abbott BinaxNOW testing as our resources must concentrate on managing the positive COVID-19 cases including navigating the contact tracing process as it impacts our students and staff.
Fairhaven Public Schools has also chosen not to pursue the initiative. Acushnet Public Schools, which only includes Acushnet Elementary and Ford Middle School, have also decided not to participate but will continue to have weekly testing available to faculty and staff.

Hometown Heroes partners with the Vermont Veterans Tribute Task Force
Hometown Heroes is a project in Fair Haven founded by Emily Stockwell in support of veterans locally and around the state. Stockwell is the daughter of a notable World War II veteran of Fair Haven, the late Bernard Stockwell.
Bernard “Bun” Stockwell was born on March 30, 1923, in Fair Haven where he also graduated high school. He is remembered for serving in the European theater during WWII after enlisting in the U.S. Army.
Following his time in uniform, he served for 50 years as a member of the Fair Haven Fire Dept., a member of the Fair Haven Rescue Squad, Fair Haven Historical Society, and the Fair Haven American Legion Post #49 and its Color Guard. For his contributions and honorable service as a hometown hero, a profile of Bun Stockwell will be featured on the first Vermont Veterans Tribute, located in Fair Haven.
The year is 1944, and the daimons are rising. With the Inner Guard thrown into disarray by the German blitzkrieg, the daimon-born nefilim of the Scorpion Court gather in Paris, scheming to restore their rule over the mortal realm. Working as a double-agent, Diago Alvarez infiltrates his family’s daimonic court, but soon finds himself overwhelmed by his kin’s multiple deceits. Meanwhile, Ysabel Ramírez hunts a Psalm that will assist Operation Overlord, the Allies’ invasion of Normandy. Her objective takes her to Paris into the heart of territories controlled by Die Nephilim and her power-hungry uncle, Jordi Abelló, who seeks the same Psalm in his quest to wrest control of Los Nefilim from her father. When their paths cross, he abducts her and leaves her to the mercy of his Nazi followers. But Ysabel is as cunning and bold as Jordi. She knows only one of them can survive to one day rule Los Nefilim, and she’s determined to be the one to succeed her father as queen. Trapped in

Despite playing an important role in the community, lady health workers face myriad of problems. They are struggling hard to get their due rights. You! takes a look…
Developing countries like Pakistan face a lot of healthcare challenges. With inadequate health care facilities; few government hospitals, poor infrastructure and lack of professional doctors and nurses, the health status of Pakistan is below average. According to the World Bank statistics, Pakistan’s under-five mortality remains the highest among the South Asian countries except Afghanistan. In many rural settings, a significant percentage of births take place at home, usually attended by a dai (midwife). In the absence of skilled birth attendants, many mothers and children die at the time of their birth.
