Coal Still Burns Under This Pennsylvania Ghost Town, And You Drive Its Empty Streets

Smoke can drift out of cracks in the ground in one tiny Pennsylvania borough. The cause is an underground coal fire that started in 1962 and still hasn’t gone out. About a thousand people lived there in 1980. By the 2020 census, the count had dropped to just five residents.

Columbia County cattle farm project receives $2M grant

Bloomsburg, Pa. — The Pa. Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) has allocated $2 million in grant funding to the Luzerne Conservation District to assist with an ongoing project at Long Hollow Cattle Company in Columbia County. The grant funds will be used to implement two roofed heavy-use areas — 32 feet by 72 feet and 70 feet by 284 feet — fencing, roof runoff controls, access roads, animal walkways, watering facilities, underground outlets, and stormwater controls. “Securing critical funding for the 109th District requires relentless effort, strong advocacy and a commitment to delivering results,” said State Rep. Robert Leadbeter (R-Columbia). “Agriculture is the backbone of many of our communities and a vital part of Pennsylvania’s economy and heritage. I will work tirelessly to secure the resources and investments our farmers, rural communities, and local businesses need to thrive.” PENNVEST provides grants and low-interest loans for design, engineering, and construction of publicly and privately owned drinking water distribution and treatment facilities, as well as stormwater and wastewater projects.

East Lycoming school receives bomb threat same day as Union County school

Lairdsville, Pa. — Renn Elementary School was evacuated this morning after a bomb threat was called into the school, according to East Lycoming School District Superintendent Dr. Gregory S. Scoggins. A bomb threat was also made to Linntown Intermediate School in Lewisburg this morning. Police have not said whether the two incidents are related. The call came to Renn Elementary School at approximately 8:35 a.m. Pennsylvania State Police were contacted immediately, and the building was evacuated. Staff and school resource officers moved students safely to an off-site location, where they sheltered in place. When it became clear that state police K-9 units would need additional time to arrive and clear the building, the district began its parent reunification process. All students were either reunited with parents and guardians or sent home on school buses. Two bomb-sniffing K-9 units later completed a thorough sweep of the building and surrounding vehicles. The school was given an all-clear shortly after noon. Scoggins said no students or staff were injured. In a letter to families, Scoggins thanked district staff, Pennsylvania State Police and local law enforcement, the Lairdsville Community Volunteer Fire Company, St. Mark’s Church, the Lairdsville Cornerstone Restaurant, bus drivers, and parents and
