Williamsport mayor, PennDOT announce stop sign installation at busy intersection

Williamsport, Pa. — PennDOT and The City of Williamsport announced today that a stop sign will be installed on the southbound lane of Market Street at the intersection with Washington Boulevard. A PennDOT maintenance crew is scheduled to install the stop sign next week while the contractor for the City of Williamsport installs the pavement markings. Drivers can expect lane restrictions between Hepburn Street and Washington Boulevard during daylight hours. The stop sign is being installed at this location after a PennDOT traffic study determined that it is warranted at this intersection. Once the stop sign is in place, all approaches to the intersection will be required to stop, and standard right-of-way rules will apply. Right-of-way will be determined by order of arrival at the intersection. If two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. Regardless of arrival order, drivers should proceed through the intersection only when it is safe to do so and remain alert to other vehicles and road users. "A top priority for the City of Williamsport is ensuring that our local roadways are safe for everyone," said Mayor Derek Slaughter. "By introducing a mandatory stop for all approaches at the intersection of

Loyalsock Township proposes eliminating municipal property tax for 2027

Loyalsock Twp., Pa. — The Loyalsock Township Board of Supervisors announced a proposal to eliminate the municipal property tax for the upcoming 2027 budget. Under the proposed budget, the township's real estate tax rate would drop from 0.5 mills to 0.0 mills, effectively removing the municipal property tax burden for all local property owners. The financial impact is about $375,000 per year in township revenue, according to Bill Burdett, township manager. Other revenue sources, cost savings measures, and financial reserves will cover the loss of revenue, Burdett added. Former 14-year Loyalsock Township Supervisor and current Lycoming County Commissioner Marc Sortman said at a commissioners' meeting this morning that the proposal is "just a phenomenal thing" and "shows government can work properly." "Government can reduce what they do, the size that they are, and they can save the taxpayers’ money," Sortman continued, largely crediting Burdette for the proposal. The historic proposal was introduced by Chairman Paul Nyman, Vice Chair John Bower, and board members Virginia Eaton, Mike Reed, and Rich Trowbridge to provide direct financial relief to the community amid broader economic pressures. "This action will help our residents, businesses, and particularly our seniors by reducing their property tax burden," Burdett

Lycoming commissioners approve new DA's salary

Williamsport, Pa. — Lycoming County commissioners approved the salaries of the new district attorney and first assistant district attorney this morning. Martin Wade, previously First Assistant District Attorney under District Attorney Tom Marino, was officially sworn in Friday morning, Nov. 6 following Marino's resignation last week. Commissioner Mark Mussina reminded folks that the DA position will be on the ballot next November, and that Wade is effectively the "interim" DA until then. Under Pennsylvania law, the first assistant automatically assumes the district attorney’s office when the elected district attorney resigns mid-term. Wade will serve the remainder of Marino’s term, which ends in November 2027. Commissioners unanimously voted to pass Wade's annual salary of $233,916 and newly-appointed First ADA Phoebe Yates' annual salary of $107,720. Each is listed to have gone into effect on Nov. 8. Yates — the first woman to hold First ADA position in Lycoming County — began working as a Lycoming ADA in January 2023, and held a similar position in the York County District Attorney's Office for nearly seven years before moving into the Lycoming office. She was sworn into her new position alongside Wade last Friday. This position is appointed, not elected, and thus will

Williamsport, Pa. — The City of Williamsport and SEDA-Council of Governments say all eight pump station roof replacements are finished under an approximately $10.7 million federal levee improvement project, with electrical upgrades and the next phase of relief-well engineering still moving ahead. Betsy Kramer, director of community revitalization and flood resiliency at SEDA-COG, reported the milestones to Williamsport City Council on Thursday, Nov. 5, according to a SEDA-COG release issued Nov. 9. The work is part of the city’s fiscal 2023 Legislative Pre-Disaster Mitigation (LPDM) Levee Improvement Project. Weatherproofing Technologies Inc., working through the Keystone Purchasing Network, completed the roof replacements at all eight pump stations in the project scope, SEDA-COG said. Additional stabilization work is underway. Electrical improvements at the levee pump stations are advancing after City Council approved the electrical construction contract in August. Lecce Electric is coordinating the work with Greenman-Pedersen Inc., the city’s construction management and inspection consultant, the release said. AECOM has submitted a proposed engineering scope, dated Oct. 13, for the next phase of relief-well replacement. The proposal includes about 25 geotechnical borings, 10 test and pumping wells, pumping tests, seepage and stability analyses, and engineering plans, specifications and construction cost estimates, and has

For the love of monsters: Meet the area's biggest Godzilla fan

Muncy, Pa. — Chris Lewis of Muncy has been a fan of Godzilla for most of his life. With a collection of close to 600 Godzilla pieces, you could say the 43-year-old is a super fan. "I've been collecting for 35 years since I was about 7 or 8 years old," Lewis said. "I still have the first Godzilla doll I ever got when I was around 5. It was a gift from my uncle," Lewis said. The Godzilla doll has a remote control to make him move and make the eyes light up red. It came from the long-gone electronics chain store, Radio Shack, Lewis said. The Godzilla franchise has been around for more than 70 years now. The latest Godzilla movie, "Godzilla Minus Zero," was released in U.S. theaters on Nov. 6. It is the 39th film in the Godzilla series, which began with the original Japanese film in 1954. Lewis is particularly excited about this one because he's heard buzz that it may be up for an award next year. Of course, Lewis went to the see the movie last week. "It's one of my top 5 movies now," Lewis said. Godzilla, a gigantic prehistoric reptilian monster,
