___ It’s not a very big bridge, just an updated version of an old stone bridge built on what was a farm road in the early 1900’s, but now it will bear the weight of honor for all veterans and will be known as the Franklin Township Veterans Memorial Bridge.
___ A dedication service was held on Nov. 25 to unveil the sign and give tribute to those who have served.
Supervisor Kevin Cummings observed that there was no way to truly honor our veterans or their families. “There are not enough ‘thank you’s to be said for the empty chairs at the dinner table during deployments, or worse, permanently.”

On Saturday, Nov. 25, a bridge dedication ceremony was held to name the new bridge on Century Lane as "Veterans Memorial Bridge" in honor of local veterans near the Franklin Township Park. In photo, veterans watch as the ribbon is cut by Pam Lerew and granddaughters Amelia and Vivian Lerew.

Northern’s Cross Country team members Dixie Ramsey, Madison Saltsburg, Amber Fogelsanger, Meredith Engle, Marlee Starliper, Morgan Starliper, Ashlyn Stonge and Allie Engle.
__ The second part of Marlee Starliper's cross country season has begun. The reigning PIAA Girls Class AA State Cross Country champion, Starliper paced the field again to score another major race victory last Saturday in New York. In the 39th Annual Northeast Regional Foot Locker Cross Country Championships held at Van Cortlandt Park, the Northern H.S. sophomore clocked 17:47.5 over the 5K course for the win in the Girls Championship race. After finishing 30th last year, her victory, and place in the top 10, also earned the smooth striding harrier a qualifying ticket to the National Foot Locker Cross Country Championships in San Diego, CA on December 9.
