LEWISBURG - The Partners with Pride Family Readiness Group of the Army Reserve, Lewisburg, is dedicated to supporting the soldiers in the field and the families they leave behind.
Megan Foulds, president, and Tabitha Beaver, secretary, have volunteered their time to revitalize the support system which had been dormant for several years.
"Families in need of anything can call us at any time," Beaver said. "They may need help fixing their furnace or they may just need someone to talk to after a long day."

YMCA is making the grade

MILTON - For the most part, the Milton YMCA is an above average facility, according to the people who matter the most - the members.
The local Y recently conducted a member survey posing a variety of questions that helped management rate the staff, facility and member experience on a poor to excellent scale.
In many occasions, the Milton Y scored higher than the national average for an excellent rating among YMCAs. This has the new executive director, Ron Marshall (at right next to new lockers), pretty excited.
The front desk ranked high for efficiency. The rest of the staff was above average for an excellent rating in terms of friendliness and competence. Many members who responded also felt there was adequate staffing and those employees offered good customer care for the members.

Lewisburg, PA - Property taxes, Interstate 80 tolls, rising sewer rates and potential local growth were items of interest Friday morning at a joint legislative breakfast.
State Sen. John Gordner said property owners should expect some small relief on their tax bills.
"Believe it or not, you'll see a reduction in your property taxes this year," the senator said at Friday's legislative breakfast, organized by the Central Pa. and Greater Susquehanna Valley chambers of commerce, at the Country Cupboard. "Is it much? No. Is it something? Yes."
