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.

Only About 300 People Live In This Pennsylvania Village Where A Covered Bridge Leads Into Town

Every winter, a toboggan run in one tiny mountain town can shoot riders straight out onto a frozen lake. That alone made me stop scrolling. The same lake gets a walking path that loops all the way around it. Old summer cottages and inns line the hills above the water.

Northumberland Commissioners Split Over Maintaining Property Tax Rate

SUNBURY — On a sharply divided 2-1 vote Thursday, the Northumberland County commissioners seek court approval to maintain the county’s current property tax rate. Commissioner Meghan Beck opposed the request and questioned whether recent savings and increased revenue could allow the county to reduce taxes. Beck said, “We’ve been in a mode of just paying the bills and we aren’t improving the economics of our community. There’s a lot of activities we could potentially be involved in, which would help improve the economics of our county.”

Former state Rep. Robert “Bob” Allen , a former Pottsville mayor who represented the 125th Legislative District for 18 years, has died at age 81.

Feathers, chairman of the Schuylkill County Republican Committee, described Allen as “another pillar of the Schuylkill County Republican Party.” “Alongside his beloved wife, Peggy, whom we sadly lost this past September, Bob played an instrumental role in helping grow, strengthen, and shape our party over the past 40 years,” Feathers said. “Their commitment, leadership, and unwavering dedication to the Republican Party and our community will not be forgotten,” he added. “The loss of both Bob and Peggy is deeply felt, and they will be sincerely missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside.” Tim Twardzik Remembers Allen’s Guidance State Rep.

Pottsville Officials Highlight Redevelopment, Grants and City Improvements at Veterans Day Address

POTTSVILLE — City officials and state lawmakers gathered on the steps of Pottsville City Hall on Wednesday, Veterans Day, to outline redevelopment projects, infrastructure improvements and changes to municipal operations, emphasizing partnerships as a driving force behind the work. The November 11 gathering combined recognition of military veterans with a public update on the city’s progress and priorities. Mayor Tom Smith had invited residents, business owners and community partners to attend the address. Councilman Andy Wollyung hosted the program, which opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Master Sgt. Ed Maze, identified during the event as a 40-year U.S. Army veteran. Speakers included Smith, state Sen. David Argall, state Rep. Tim Twardzik, Pottsville Redevelopment Authority Chairman Bud Quandel and Councilman Jonathan Marsh. Wollyung said moving Pottsville forward requires looking beyond its past accomplishments and building relationships across government and the community. “A great history is a foundation, not a destination,” Wollyung said. “It’s easy to look back and tell a story of what Pottsville was. It’s harder and far more important to decide what Pottsville will be.” More Than $5 Million in Active Grant Projects Smith framed the city’s efforts around projects, programs and partners, while acknowledging that securing
