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

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

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

Coroner rules on man's death at Danville mental health facility

Danville, Pa. — A 31-year-old man who died at a Danville inpatient mental health facility in August died from a probable seizure, according to the Montour County coroner. Coroner Scott Lynn said Anthony Fisher's probable seizure resulted from what is classified as a "therapeutic misadventure" — a death associated with complications or errors in medical treatment. It’s the second time Lynn has publicly called out Geisinger Acadia Behavioral Health Center. The first was immediately following Fisher’s death on Aug. 20, when the facility reportedly refused to comply with his requests for information. Now, in his recent ruling, Lynn says the facility falsified documents and failed to check on Fisher in a timely manner. Timeline of events Fisher, 31, was admitted to the facility, which is a joint partnership between Geisinger and Acadia Health, on Aug. 19 after being transferred from UPMC Williamsport for further treatment. He was found dead at the facility the following morning, Aug. 20. Staff called 911 just after 10 a.m. to report Fisher was experiencing cardiac arrest. When police and EMS arrived at the center on Maria Hall Drive, they notified the coroner’s office. While on scene, Lynn determined Fisher had likely been dead for four

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.
