Controversy Over Kuhn’s Fording Bridge Near East Berlin
A memorandum on the fate of the historic Kuhn’s Fording Bridge near East Berlin nears completion. Officials eye demolition, but a local group seeks relocation and restoration with engineers to study a moving site three miles away across Beaver Creek. The 1880s covered bridge was damaged by Hurricane Eloise in 1975 and remains a flashpoint among county, state, and federal authorities.

Gettysburg transportation praised with bus schedule reforms urged
A Wayne consulting firm found Gettysburg Area School District’s transportation system operates above average with 33 buses and one van serving about 3,313 students. It recommended four changes to boost efficiency: reassign routes, raise loads to 80 to 90 percent, adjust bus stops, and modify bell times. The district could save by combining runs and potentially move to computer planning after house numbers are issued.
