Up to seven bids expected for city hall
POULSBO — The hazy picture surrounding Little Norway's city hall project should get clearer once the April 30 deadline for proposals arrives. “We're going to have four for sure, but it could be five or six or possibly seven," Planning Director Barry Berezowsky told the city council's public works committee Wednesday. Earlier in the week, Berezowsky said he received a call from an interested party asking for information about the city hall project, which came as pleasant surprise. Ahead of the April 30 deadline, Berezowsky said the city's long range planning committee will discuss the criteria that will be used to evaluate the potential submittals. “We're not going to be comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges," he said. “We might get brownies." The long range planning committee, which consists of Mayor Kathryn Quade, Councilman Ed Stern, Councilman Dale Rudolph and Councilwoman Connie Lord, will need at least two weeks to review all of the proposals, Berezowsky said.

Three to face robbery charges in auto auction theft
Three Chambersburg men, who police say forcibly entered a Freedom Township auto auction four years ago after escaping from prison, will face burglary-related charges in Adams County court. Eric Orion Plummer, 26, of the 1900 block of Philadelphia Avenue; Ralph Frederick Hepfer Jr., 28, of the 2000 block of Philadelphia Avenue; and Robert Lee Thomas Jr., 25, of the 1800 block of Guilford Station Road, have been charged. Plummer waived charges to Adams County court last week, and the cases against Hepfer and Thomas have been forwarded to county court. State police said the trio escaped from Franklin County Prison at 8 p.m. March 19, 2003, stole a truck from a Chambersburg business and broke into the Gettysburg Auto Auction some time overnight. They were later captured in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
