For several years the Sugar Tree Ridge Church of Christ has quietly held summer events for local kids like a Vacation Bible School featuring NFL and NBA players, including one year when 22 kids were baptized, according to church minister Rob Rhodes.
But this year the church decided to go bigger, and with help from several other area churches, has planned the End of Summer Back to School BBQ for 4-8 p.m. (or longer if people linger) Sunday, Aug. 15 at Bright Elementary School.

HADLEY A proposal to create a small local historic district encompassing town and nonresidential buildings in Hadley center will not move forward until decisions are made on the future of the Russell School building.
Even though Select Board members appeared supportive of the Historical Commission’s idea of establishing a district that would provide better protection for the historic appearance of buildings, and possible grant money for improvements, they voted 5-0 to put on hold initiating the process out of concern for moving too rapidly and jeopardizing potential projects for rehabilitating the historic school building.
