We hope people can appreciate that they are blessed to live in our region. That is, if anything, even more true in December. From Candy Cane Lane to Santa’s Landing, Christmas parades in Hughesville and Loyalsock Township and elsewhere, the tree-lightings in Williamsport’s Brandon Park ...
The Justice Department, under the President’s orders, is investigating all groups they view as extremist, particularly what they call Antifa. They continue to confuse an ideology with a physical group. “Antifa” stands for antifascist, it is not an organization. The administration therefore must be openly saying they are pro-fascist.

We believe everyone should celebrate the announcement that Farmplast is opening a facility — and creating jobs — in Muncy. Our region has potential. We can meet the challenges confronting communities up and down northeastern and mid-Atlantic states and foster the economic growth that ...
Despite Norfolk Southern’s assertions that it would make things right in East Palestine — after a derailment back in February 2023, the company appears to continue to resist doing so. Most recently, it filed motions in federal court seeking to EXCLUDE expert testimony presented by the state of Ohio and the United States as part of ongoing litigation.
