CHESHIRE, Mass. — Cheshire United Methodist Church will host a ham dinner on Saturday, Oct. 17, in the fellowship hall at 197 Church St.

The dinner will held from 5 to 6:30 and is an eat-in or take-out meal. Beverages will also be available. The cost is $20 for an adult dinner and $10 for a child's dinner.

The dinner also includes scalloped potatoes, squash medley, a Hawaiian dinner roll and pumpkin roll for dessert.

Already installed are chair lifts and more accessible bathrooms. The congregation is hoping to raise enough funds this year to be able to put in an accessible ramp.

All are welcome. Call 413-603-0021 by Friday, Oct. 16, to reserve a dinner

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — City and school officials will meet a second time to vote in two new members of the School Committee.

The joint convention of the City Council and School Committee will be held on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the City Hall conference room and via Zoom.

Damon Grimes and Paul Moriarty were jointly elected on Monday to fill two seats vacated by resignation. They were two of four candidates standing for election.

Mayor Jennifer Macksey, chair of the School Committee, said she had received in inquiry about the votes, which were done by secret ballot.

"I have been advised that voting by ballot was not permissible in this circumstance," she said, after consulting the School Committee's attorney Adam Dupere and city solicitor KP Law.

To ensure the validity of the votes and conduct of the election, the joint convention will reconvene and formally confirm the selection of Grimes and Moriarty.

"I apologize for the inconvenience of having to reconvene," the mayor said in a statement. "My intention in using a ballot was to address concerns raised following our previous convention, when some members expressed discomfort with publicly voting for or against individual candidates.
