10 Years Ago

Herald of July 14, 2011

Martinsburg’s manager and borough council invited the public to an open house of the new borough building July 16. The building, while complete and occupied, is still receiving finishing touches. A six-inch-diameter aluminum flagpole donated by W. Gene Henry was recently installed on the Woodlawn Avenue side of the building.

Concerns including excessive speeding and stray cats led residents living along Reed Street in Sproul to attend the Greenfield Township Board of Supervisors meeting. Several residents stated drivers are ignoring the posted 25 mph speed limit and the problem is getting worse. The Sproul residents also reported stray cats in their neighborhood. They said the cats have caused damage to cars and soiled front porches.

The conditions of township roads, how best to improve them and the reality that the township does not have the funds to fix all the roads was the dominant discussion at the July meeting of the Woodbury Township Board of Supervisors in Bedford County.
