Herald of April 22, 1999

Melanie Clapper, 26, a Northern Bedford High School junior, was selected to participate in the 1999 Pennsylvania Governor’s School for International Studies. The Governor’s School for International Studies was scheduled to take place June 27 through July 13.

An anonymous donor made it possible for children to enjoy a 60-foot water slide at Hershberger Memorial Pool. The donation was in the amount of $30,000 and the slide was $23,000. The remaining money was used to make the slide operational. The pool committee was hoping to have the slide installed and ready to use when the pool opened for the season on May 23.

About 100 worshipers attended the dedication service at the Koontz Church of the Brethren near Loysburg, celebrating a number of improvements to the building. R.B. Magruder Builders Inc., Bedford, was the general contractor for the $80,000 project.
