BERNE — The Berne-Knox-Westerlo Central School District has received a $5,000 grant for an Outdoor Wild Learning Space; the classroom will be located near the community garden and high tunnel on the Berne campus.

The prestigious program has been placed on hiatus “as we reimagine what the Logan Nonfiction Program might look like in the future and reassess the financial sustainability of the high-quality experience we have offered since 2015,” according to a statement on the program’s website.

Alice J. Thomas, a 59-year-old resident of Westerlo, was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief and trespassing after allegedly vandalizing and stealing political signs at a Berne resident’s home over the course of a week.

The 23-year-old Knox resident was brought to Albany Medical Center in critical condition.
