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

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,

'Double the Moose, double the fun': Moose Too opens for teens, adults, and the playfully curious

Williamsport, Pa. — Williamsport's very own professional toy seller Nicole Desaulniers didn’t set out to open a second store, but she couldn't help but notice a gap that needed filled. After years of running The Mulberry Moose at 423 Mulberry Street, where Desaulniers has built a loyal following with carefully curated, “kid-powered” toys that big-box stores don’t carry, she kept running into the same problem at toy fairs: a growing category she simply didn’t have room for. That category is what the industry calls “kid-ult” — adults and older teens who collect figures, build models, chase blind boxes, and seek out playful, novelty items that spark joy and nostalgia. “I kept seeing it,” Desaulniers said. “These adults that are liking to collect and play and do kind of more kid things. And then there’s also the people that love playful things. It makes them happy.” She tried bringing some of it into the original Mulberry Moose, but space and demographic limits got in the way. “I just didn’t have enough room to really do it. And it’s not my main demographic at that store,” she explained. The main shop, which opened in June 2024 after Desaulniers moved from Delaware, where

Montour County resident died of measles, Pa. health department announces

Danville, Pa. — An unvaccinated Montour County resident has died after testing positive for measles, the Pennsylvania Department of Health confirmed Friday. It is the seventh measles-associated death reported in the state this year. The department said it will not release further details about the individual to protect the family’s privacy. The death has been reported to the CDC and added to the state’s measles dashboard. As of Friday, Pennsylvania has recorded 1,542 confirmed measles cases across 46 counties in 2026, along with 305 hospitalizations. Thirty-seven new cases have been confirmed since Nov. 9. Of the total cases, five involved people who had been vaccinated — less than 1%. The seven confirmed measles-associated deaths this year were two residents of Jefferson, three of Lancaster, one of Mifflin, and one of Montour counties. The department said it is still investigating a reported death of a Franklin County resident in October and has not yet confirmed it meets the criteria for a measles-associated death. To be counted as measles-associated, a death must occur within 30 days of symptom onset in someone with clinical evidence of measles and a positive lab test, and it cannot be due to an unrelated cause.

Gas Well Boom Puts Flatbed Hauling Back to Work in North Central PA

Sit in a diner off US-220 near Williamsport and you’ll probably hear it from the next booth: the rigs are busy again. After a couple of slow years, drilling crews are back on pads across Lycoming and Bradford counties. Each pad needs steel, mats and machinery hauled up roads mostly built for milk trucks and school buses. Almost all of it rides on open decks, which is why flatbed hauling services in the region are booked out again. The activity shows up in the numbers: as Penn Business Report notes, citing the Independent Fiscal Office , Pennsylvania drilled 446 new wells in 2025, up 44.3% and the first annual increase since 2022, with Lycoming and Bradford among the five counties that produced 70% of the state’s gas. More wells mean more freight, and most of it won’t fit in a box. Casing pipe comes in long joints, often 40 feet or more. Rig mats are big and awkward. Pump skids and wellhead parts get lifted on and off with a crane or a large loader. What the roads are like up there Getting to a well pad in Bradford County is rarely a straight shot.
