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

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.

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.

Wade sworn in as Lycoming County DA after Marino resigns

Williamsport, Pa. — Lycoming County has a new district attorney following the abrupt resignation of the county's chief prosecutor this week. Former First Assistant District Attorney Martin Wade was sworn in Friday as Lycoming County’s new district attorney, succeeding Tom Marino, who resigned the same day, citing health concerns. Assistant District Attorney Phoebe Yates was also sworn in as first assistant district attorney. She is the first woman to hold the first assistant position in the history of the Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office. 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. The office will be on the ballot next year. Marino, 74, announced earlier this week that he was stepping down. In a letter to county residents, he described the decision as “a mix of sadness and gratitude” and said he was leaving “due to a combination of health reasons.” He had previously served as Lycoming County district attorney from 1992 to 2002 before becoming U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania and later serving multiple terms in Congress. Wade has been first assistant

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
