Northern Lebanon's 'family bond' led to a culture shift in 2026

HANOVER — There’s no secret to success, but Northern Lebanon football has built the right culture in Year 1 with Nate Monroe in charge. The Vikings fell in overtime during the District 3 Class 4A quarterfinals on Nov. 13, and the final play of the game decided a 22-21 loss to an undefeated Hanover squad. There was almost no momentum in Northern Lebanon’s corner after a 14-0 deficit in the third quarter, but the team’s push “as a family” delivered the Vikings’ first overtime game since 2023. WATCH: Cedar Crest's Reyes talks playoff comeback, eight score game Awards: Giving out awards to Lebanon County's top football players in 2026 After scoring one touchdown, Vikings senior Brady Ryan said his last varsity game was amazing to experience and caps off his best year of football so far. “This year's meant everything to me,” Ryan said. “This is the best team and the best coaching staff I've ever been a part of." “We’re just always a family, you could see it at the end. We were all sad and upset because we don’t want to leave each other.” The Vikings swarmed the ball during Friday's game, and it was more than challenging

PA official touts Lebanon County substance abuse treatment efforts

Pennsylvania Secretary of Drug and Alcohol Programs Dr. Latika Davis-Jones visited the Lebanon Comprehensive Treatment Center on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to highlight the need for expanding substance abuse treatment centers in rural areas. The secretary toured the treatment center's facilities with administrators and local leaders, and spoke with a resident about his recovery journey. Officials said the center serves more than 400 Lebanon County residents annually at its Schneider Drive facility. Davis-Jones told reporters that the Lebanon facility gives people access to outpatient treatment, counseling and connections needed to combat addiction. "We're excited that they are offering a continuum of services for individuals in this region, especially because we know here in rural settings (residents) need access," she said. The Lebanon Comprehensive Treatment Center is one of more than 750 licensed substance use disorder treatment facilities across the commonwealth. The outpatient drug and alcohol treatment facility delivers medication-assisted treatment, also known as MAT, to adults age 18 and older who are struggling with opioid use disorder.

Lebanon City Council advances 2027 preliminary budget with tax hike

Lebanon City Council members unanimously passed a proposed $19.7 million preliminary budget that includes a 1-mill tax increase, which is the first increase residents have seen in more than 12 years. Officials voted during a special public meeting Thursday, Nov. 12, to raise the city's millage rate to 5.581 mills. If finalized, the owner of a property with an average assessed value of $104,350 would pay the city $582 in 2027, a $103 increase from 2026. Mayor Sherry Capello said out of the 8,351 taxable properties in the city, 5,872, or more than 70%, have an assessed value of less than $104,350. "I don't want to minimize an increase in taxes, but I think we're not being extravagant," she told the Lebanon Daily News after the meeting. "This is the bare minimum to be responsible, to make sure we are proving appropriate services that the residents have asked for." The last tax increase for the city was in 2015. Capello said that while city officials have been frugal enough to move on without an increase over the last 12 years, the increase is needed to pay for the city's workforce, equipment, vehicles and infrastructure. "The 2027 budget addresses several long-standing
