As hearing approaches, Probst highlights impacts of I-80 project

On a recent afternoon, state Rep. Tarah Probst (D-189th District) took a drive through Stroudsburg with constituent services adviser Jessica Smith to highlight just a few of the spots that the Interstate 80 widening project has already impacted. And there are bound to be even more issues if the project proceeds, Probst said, especially with the elimination of the Dreher Avenue exit. The representative places the blame on the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for failing to do its due diligence in evaluating the properties which fall in the way of the widening project. “This has been going on since I was the mayor, and Stroudsburg Borough has been fighting it now for over 10 years. [PennDOT] just didn’t do their job,” said Probst, who this month won a third term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. “They didn’t do an environmental impact statement — they took it in three sections, so they didn’t have to do that. And for whatever reason, I guess they believe that water doesn’t have connectivity.” Probst said the borough paid about $2,000 to conduct the studies on property near Bryant Street — a part of the next phase of the project — which confirmed “not

North Shore Railroad’s Veterans Benefit Voyage raises $16,000

Northumberland, Pa. — North Shore Railroad Company & Affiliates has raised $16,000 for two veterans nonprofits through its third annual Veterans Benefit Voyage. The railroad presented checks of $8,000 each to Hunts for Healing and Expedition Orange on Nov. 4. Heavy rain at the primary event, held July 18 at Test Track Park during Berwick’s World War II Weekend, reduced ridership in the year’s first voyage. To make up the difference, the railroad added proceeds from some ticket sales from later passenger events, including rides at Stallion Infrastructure in Montoursville on Aug. 22 and during Danville’s Heritage Festival, to make the donation more substantial. Hunts for Healing offers outdoor recreation such as fishing and hunting for wounded warriors and is run entirely by volunteers. Expedition Orange uses horse and rider to raise national awareness and support for Vietnam veterans and families affected by Agent Orange exposure, and gives $1,000 to a veterans home in each state it visits. Both organizations pledge to put 100% of donations toward veterans. In 2024, the railroad dedicated two locomotives to members of the U.S. military: LVRR 9052, the Veterans Unit, and LVRR 9050, the Memorial Unit. This year’s rides also featured the railroad’s Semiquincentennial

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

Penn College receives ‘Best for Vets’ recognition

Williamsport, Pa. — Pennsylvania College of Technology is among 370 institutions nationwide and 15 in the state recognized in the Military Times’ 2026 Best for Vets: Colleges rankings. “The military-connected student today looks different than many people imagine,” said Jon Simkins, editor-in-chief of Military Times. “It’s a veteran starting a second career, a Guard member balancing drill weekends with classes, a spouse finishing a degree between moves. The schools on this year’s list understand that, and they’re building support around the real lives of the people they serve. That’s exactly what we want our readers to know when they’re choosing where to invest their education benefits.” Colleges and universities are selected for the list based on a detailed survey of each school’s policies, programs and outcomes. The survey covers school culture, student support services, academic policies, costs and financial assistance, and military-connected student success rates. This is the fourth time Penn College has made the Best for Vets list. “The folks at Military Times conduct one of the most comprehensive evaluations of colleges and universities across the country. We are proud at Penn College to be recognized for our long-standing commitment to supporting those who have chosen to serve our
