Blaze heavily damages former industrial building in Milton
MILTON -- A fast moving fire heavily damaged a former industrial building in Milton. Now, a portion of the vacant H. Warshow and Sons building in Milton will be knocked down following the fire Monday. The blaze broke out at the former fabric manufacturing plant along Route 642 just after 10:00a.m. Fire officials say the fire started with workers using a torch to cut piping inside.
Those workers were able to escape, but Milton Fire Chief Brad Gaugler says there were other injuries. He says one firefighter fell into a three-foot pit and hurt his shoulder. He was treated and released from the hospital. Another firefighter and a fire police were overcome by heat of smoke inhalation. Then, following the collapse of a wall, two firefighters had some cuts and bruises when trying to get out of the way.
Numerous fire crews from Northumberland, Snyder and Union county assisted at the scene. Gaugler said the most challenging part of the firefight was rounding up enough manpower to get enough water to the scene.
Gaugler says an early estimate puts damages at a 'couple hundred thousand dollars.' The building had been vacant since being sold to Coast Pad and Trim, a California-based company. The building was up for sale and was being cleared out in hopes to be sold soon. (Sara Bartlett)

Latest Pennsylvania news, sports, business and entertainment
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - A senior Senate Republican says getting a budget deal done before Pennsylvania's new fiscal year starts on Thursday depends on Gov. Ed Rendell's approach to the talks. Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi told a Pennsylvania Press Club audience Monday that making the deadline "depends solely upon the reasonableness of the governor." He says the Senate will pass a general appropriations bill by the close of business Wednesday, whether or not the Democratic governor has agreed to it. Pileggi says that as difficult as this year's budget process has been, next year's will be even more painful because of a projected multibillion-dollar deficit.

Angelina Jolie opens up to VanFair
NEW YORK (AP) - Angelina Jolie is having so much fun being a mother, acting isn't her top priority. She tells Vanity Fair she doesn't think she'll be acting "much longer."

Jake to Vienna: I want my ring back
NEW YORK (AP) - Now that he's broken off his engagement to Vienna Girardi, Jake Pavelka wants his ring back. Pavelka tells People magazine "she can't wear that ring." He says one of the reasons their relationship didn't work is that Girardi had "an intense amount of jealousy" over the opportunities he got after
"The Bachelor," like competing in "Dancing With the Stars." He says Girardi wanted an entertainment career, too, but "she didn't work, she wasn't looking for a job." He says it also didn't help that Girardi reportedly was getting close to Gregory Michael of "Greek."

The Twilight Saga continues with their third feature film being released on Wednesday and women in the Central Susquehanna Valley can’t wait! Many expect teen girls to flock to the theaters, but there is also a large group of women in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s that enjoy Twilight just as much.

Huge parade honors veterans
LEWSIBURG – Thousands of people, many wearing red, white and blue, lined Lewisburg’s streets for Saturday's huge parade through the borough. Many then gathered on the Bucknell University campus for the Concert in the Grove, and recognition of military veterans.
The celebrations were all part of the 16th Annual Union County Veterans 4th of July Celebration. Dean Shively served in the military from 1953 to 1977, and said the sacrifices made by veterans make recognition highly appreciated.
Tune to Newsradio 1070 WKOK for extensive coverage of the parade, ceremony and concert. The activities started Friday night with fireworks and an outdoor concert. The next events on the schedule are the Stars, Stripes and Souza concert in Lewisburg 7:30pm this Wednesday in Hufnagle Park. More information is available at www.unioncountyveterans4thofjuly.com.

This year's Independence Day observances coincided with the opening of the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Lewisburg. Merle Engelhart was on hand for the first day of business and says the new store will be good for downtown in that it will attract students and others to the area.
Englehart notes that the downtown only contained one other bookstore, thus the benefits should outweigh any potential problems accompanied by the opening of the big retailer. Lewisburg is said to be the smallest market that Barnes & Noble's has partnered with a university to open a full service retail store. The new store will also serve as the official student bookstore for Bucknell University. (Sara Bartlett)

All market property values to be looked at carefully
HARRISBURG – STEB sees its' mistakes and promises to fix errors in school tax rates. The board that oversees tax rates levied by school districts that cross county lines now plans to review all property values in districts statewide. The move follows projections of nearly 20% higher property taxes issued in error to White Deer Township residents of the Milton Area School District.
Certification Director Renee Reynolds of the State Tax Equalization Board says she’s baffled as to why no one contacted STEB when forms were sent out last year with the error that now seems obvious. She says they could have used the time that elapsed since mid-2009 to fix the computer error that started it. Regardless, she admits it was their mistake.
The property data in question is from 2008, and was part of a three-year average of sales figures they use in calculating rates. For now, Reynolds and other STEB staff members are being kept busy, going through data from every district in the state. All districts, including Danville, will now be checked.
STEB officials apologized to taxpayers and Milton Area School District board members Tuesday night, before the board adopted a 2010-2011 budget with only a 2.2% increase for White Deer Township residents. They also admitted significant errors in the Warrior Run School District. (Matt Farrand)
Police confirm Sunbury man robbed two stores
SUNBURY -- Police have confirmed that the Sunbury man who admitted to the attempted robbery at a convenience store last week--did rob another store thirty minutes later. 39-year-old David Holtzapple was arrested last Saturday for demanding cash at knifepoint from a clerk at the Turkey Hill in Sunbury.
At that time, Holtzapple denied that he then went to the A-Plus Sunoco in Sunbury and, at knifepoint, demanded and received cash from a clerk there. Now police say they have concluded their investigation and have charged Holtzapple with both crimes. He's accused of theft, terroristic threats and disorderly conduct and remains in Northumberland County Prison, $65,000 bail. (Sara Bartlett)
Union County in the process of upgrading 911 system
0LEWISBURG -- Union County has launched a more than $4 million communications system upgrade. In order to comply with some new Federal Communication Commission regulations, Union County is working to refit all seven of their emergency communication towers. Union County Commissioner Chairman Preston Boop said they decided to go digital, rather than upgrade the current analog system.
Boop believes the most cost effective way to update the outdated equipment is to 'go digital.' The county is in the process of issuing bonds for $4.5 million to refit the towers. There are seven towers in Union County, and they also provide 911 service in the upper part of Northumberland County. Boop says now is this time to be in the bond market and update the technology at the same time.
