Voters make their way to the polls in central Pennsylvania

Voters can be seen trickling in and out of the Citizens Hose Company Number 5 station in Lock Haven, casting their vote. Gerald F. Poponack Sr. tells Newswatch 16 he's been voting since he was 18, making his way to the polls because he's concerned about the current state of the economy. "It's tough, it's tough, dollar don't stretch far anymore, especially with the gas and the groceries and stuff, so I guess they're working on it; you just have to trust them, that's all you know, that's all."

Lewisburg, Pa. — PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll visited the intersection of Hospital Drive and JPM Road in Kelly Township, Union County, where a roundabout is planned through the state’s Multimodal Transportation Fund.

West Branch firemen to provide gear to Lycoming, Sullivan fire departments

Montoursville, Pa. — The West Branch Firemen’s Association will distribute standardized rural water supply equipment to fire departments across Lycoming and Sullivan counties during an Oct. 31 event in Montoursville. The distribution is the result of a regional standardization project led by the association to improve rural water supply operations, the process fire departments use to move water to fires in areas without hydrants. Departments will receive 3-inch locking Storz adapters and 5-inch clappered Siamese appliances, paid for with support from local partners and donors. The locking Storz adapters create a consistent, secure connection at water fill sites, so any apparatus from any participating department can connect the same way at any site in the region. The clappered Siamese appliances let crews offload large volumes of water from tankers and engines at a fire, feeding attack lines and water distribution systems without interrupting the flow. Equipment incompatibility between departments has long slowed rural water shuttle operations, the association said. In a water shuttle, tankers cycle continuously between a fill site and the fire scene; every delay at the connection point adds minutes to turnaround time and reduces the water available at the fire. Standardizing the connections is meant to shorten

Demolition scheduled for former Triangle Tavern

Loyalsock Township, Pa. — Demolition is slated soon for the former Triangle Tavern building on Shiffler Avenue in Loyalsock Township. Township manager Bill Burdett said a Journey Bank branch building with a drive-through will be built in its place. "Journey Bank is going to occupy that lot and the adjacent lot," Burdett said, referring to the lot where the former Keystone Furniture Restoration stands. The nearby clothing store, Colony Classics, will remain, according to Burdett. Burdett was not aware of a scheduled date yet for demolition, but expects it will occur by sometime this week. Fencing was recently put around the historic pink building, which is close to 100 years old. The Triangle Tavern closed in 2013 after operating as a popular Italian restaurant for more than 50 years under the Casale family. The building at 300 Shiffler Avenue has stood vacant since, with several interested buyers over the years. Several years ago, Harkness Real Estate Partners proposed to build an apartment and retail complex in its place but those plans fell through. Now, after sitting empty for close to 13 years there will be movement with redevelopment. "We're happy to see something go in there," Burdett said. In other

Four counties awarded funds to create outdoor rec plans

Lewisburg, Pa. — SEDA-COG will receive $187,100 in grants to prepare a multi-county greenway plan for Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, and Snyder counties. Mount Carmel Borough in Northumberland County will receive $19,500. Community Conservation Partnerships Program (C2P2) grants, funded by the state departments of Conservation and Natural Resources and Community and Economic Development, are meant to fund projects that help communities improve parks and playgrounds, build and repair trails, conserve open space, restore rivers and watersheds, and grow local economies through outdoor recreation. Mount Carmel Borough will use its grant to prepare a master site development plan for the quarter-acre Oak Street Park, which will establish a framework for the site’s future development as a neighborhood recreation and gathering space. The plan will include an electronic written report and site development drawing. Supported by SEDA-COG, the borough’s planning effort will help it evaluate community needs, establish design priorities, and prepare for future funding opportunities. The work complements ongoing environmental assessment through EPA brownfields resources, helping coordinate site investigation with park planning and future redevelopment. “The project advances Mount Carmel’s broader revitalization efforts by laying the groundwork for a welcoming public space that benefits residents and strengthens the surrounding neighborhood,” said Betsy
