            TANKS A LOT!

    It's so great to see something old

turned into something that can make a

community proud. That' exactly what my

wife and I found Sunday when our weekend

drive took us Berwick. The area we found

was once off limits to the public. During

World War II the old American Car and

Foundry factory made Army tanks in Berwick.

A large plot of land bear the Susquehanna

River became a test track for the vehicles.

The area and the factory were actually on

Hitler's target list. These days the community

has turned the test track into a public park.

There's picnic areas, a walking trail, a disk

golf course, a BMX type bike trail, and a

boat launch too. It's not a target anymore.

It's a destination. And a good one at that!

It was a pleasure to visit the park and to

realize there's something similar in many

of our communities. If there's one near you,

take advantage of the facilities whenever

you can! Hope you enjoy yourself and that

all your NEWS is good!
