Liberty, Pa. — North Penn-Liberty Junior/Senior High School in the Southern Tioga School District is one of only 12 schools to receive this year’s Pa. Blue Ribbon School designation . Blue Ribbon Schools demonstrate exceptional academic growth, ranking among the top 15% statewide for whole school improvement while showing progress for all student groups. “Nothing is more important than building a brighter future for our kids, and I commend the teachers, administrators, parents and students at North Penn-Liberty for their hard work and dedication toward that goal,” said State Rep. Clint Owlett, R-Tioga/Bradford. “Your commitment to learning and growing is making a difference for our students and the community as a whole.” The Pa. Department of Education notes that qualifying schools create inclusive learning environments, support student well-being through strong Student Assistance Programs, maintain high attendance and assessment participation rates, and meet rigorous standards for special education and accountability.

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.

However, Delaware Academy superintendent Carey Shultz announced on the school's website Thursday that Section 4 ruled the Bulldogs most forfeit their 49-14 semifinal win over Deposit/Hancock because of an ineligible player.

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. You can run US-6 into
