Several northcentral schools receive bomb threats Friday

State College, Pa. — Three schools in north-central Pennsylvania have reported receiving bomb threats by phone Friday morning, prompting evacuations and K-9 searches. State College Police said Mount Nittany Elementary School received a threatening call that was immediately reported. Investigators said the threat was not credible and is believed to have been a hoax “swatting” incident connected to similar calls at other schools across Pennsylvania. Out of caution, police provided a presence at schools throughout the district. At Renn Elementary in Lairdsville, East Lycoming School District Superintendent Dr. Gregory S. Scoggins said the school received a bomb threat call at approximately 8:35 a.m. Pennsylvania State Police were notified and the building was evacuated. Students were moved to an off-site location. When K-9 units needed additional time, the district began parent reunification. All students were reunited with parents or sent home on buses. Two bomb-sniffing K-9 units later cleared the building. The school was given an all-clear shortly after noon. No one was injured. In Lewisburg, the Buffalo Valley Regional Police Department said an individual called Linntown Intermediate School and reported that a bomb had been placed inside. Teachers and staff were present for parent-teacher conferences and were evacuated. A K-9

Polish Kielbasa Still Comes Off The Smokehouse Racks Every Week At This Pennsylvania Butcher Since 1940s

A small shop in coal country sells kielbasa in so many forms that it even turns it into dip. Then there are the bacon bombs. I’d call that a strong opening argument. Smoked rings share the counter with fresh links, jerky, kielbasa sticks, and homemade pierogies. Around Easter, the line can spill outside as families gather supplies for their holiday baskets.
