Last year, Frank “Bud” Foster donated to Bernardston his property at 12 Church St., in the foreground, which is adjacent to the present Fire Station, to use for a Fire Station addition. The four-bay garage would be built on this lot separate from the existing station, though it would be attached by an enclosed walkway. The Bernardston Selectboard will host a Zoom meeting on April 19 to discuss the latest set of plans. Staff File Photo/Paul Franz

School Committee welcomes new Northfield member
NORTHFIELD Northfield resident Stephanie Winslow was appointed by the town moderator as a new Pioneer Valley Regional School District School Committee member on March 31, and attended her first meeting on April 8.
NEWPORT A large Black Lives Matter logo on the floor of the gymnasium at Rogers High School is causing some discussion in the community, according to School Committee members.
The logo is just the words “Black Lives Matter” and the letters are made of vinyl that can be removed from the floor.
Development and planning of the logo was an initiative of three students on the girls basketball team Miyah Brooks, Maeve Crowley and Ellie Margolis all of whom addressed the School Committee on Tuesday night.
“I think the main purpose of this is to start conversations, for people to be able to ask questions about it, and for people like me to explain why Black Lives Matter and how we are being suppressed,” Brooks, who is black, told the School Committee.
