Lycova’s project consisted
of working to lower the speed
limits on Star Route 15 in
Hepburn Township from 55
miles per hour to 45 miles
per hour. The action came as
a result to a large number of
fatal accidents occurring in
the area.
Working through the
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation and the
Hepburn Township Super
visors, the Lycoming County
Grange was able to affect
the change after several
public meetings and
hearings.
Second place in the
competition was Union
Grange, of West Burlington

Lincoln Grange, of Hun
tingdon County, for running
a benefit of the Marklesburg
Ambulance Division to help
pay for some necessary
equipment.

While in the process of a
litter pickup in conjunction
with PennDOT, several
Jackson Grangers noted the
presence of three large
potholes on the Mercer
County roads.
“With a little pressure
applied” on a local Penn-
DOT official, all three holes
were filled the following day.
Another guess is submitted on total sale price to
