Officer Kristen Yeager of the Central Berks Regional Police department died Friday night while responding to a call.Grief counselors are available to Harrisburg school students, after two students lost their lives late last week. Controversial data center projects have cropped up all around the state, and some state House members say local communities should have more power to determine if the centers come to their town.  The state Agriculture Department is awarding nine grants totaling $1.3 million, to boost sales, promotion, and quality of craft beers in the state.
