PLEASE ATTEND THE TWO UPCOMING “CONDITIONAL USE” TOWNSHIP HEARINGS!
MEETING #1: FIVE INDUSTRIAL SIZED CHICKEN BARNS (C.A.F.O.)
• Thursday, May 29th at 6:00 PM
• Muncy Firehall, 932 E. Penn Street, Muncy, PA
• Come early and bring folding chairs
MEETING #2: MASSIVE 42MW with 12/13 SEPARATE (*LLC) SOLAR FARMS
• Tuesday, June 3rd at 6:00 PM
• Muncy Firehall, 932 E. Penn Street, Muncy, PA
As concerned property owners, we strongly oppose the massive commercial/industrial land development right here in our backyard, involving five CAFO chicken barns 88’x 616’ in size (350,000 free range chickens) and 12/13 separate utility scale solar farms (42MW) to be oddly combined into a single land development plan for construction upon 164 acres of residential and agricultural land, situated along Fogelman Rd., Muncy Exchange Rd., and Clarkstown Rd., in Muncy Creek Township, on the lands owned by William Brown aka…S&E Building Associates, Inc.
This combined project threatens the peace and safety of 300+ neighboring homes and hundreds of more homes in nearby Muncy Borough. This proposed joint venture (Chickens and Solar) project is only 1 mile from downtown Muncy Borough. Our community deserves full transparency on the following risks and impacts:
• Water contamination of wells and aquifers, strain on existing private water supplies
• Nitrate, E.coli, bacteria, antibiotics leaching into drinking water
• Airborne pathogens affecting adults and nearby schoolchildren
• Respiratory illnesses like asthma and other health impacts
• Avian flu and viral concerns from the industrial-scale poultry CAFO
• Unknown viruses and bacteria entering the ecosystem
• Disruption of wetlands and sensitive ecosystems, loss of prime agricultural lands, toxic spraying, habitat loss, spread of disease to wildlife and humans from both live and dead chickens, compositing and manure
• Harm to pollinators, birds, deer, and other native species
• Dangerous tractor-trailer traffic on narrow rural roads, not designed for heavy trucks
• Constant truck traffic: at all hours of the day and night
• Solar Glare/Glint, Fire risks: electrical hazards for firefighters
• CAFO fire hazards, non-sprinklered buildings, improper building setbacks
• Declining property values, financing issues for property owners living near industrial CAFOs
• Black flies, noxious odors entering your homes, loss of enjoyment in our backyards, parks, schools, churches, community spaces and open-air venues
In Summary: We are not against responsible development — but what’s being proposed is an intrusive, hazardous, and reckless expansion into a peaceful, long-established, suburban residential area.

Discover the hidden history of Brandon Park
The Lycoming County Genealogical Society will host a special presentation by Mark Avery on the early history of Brandon Park and its little-known benefactor, Andrew Boyd Cummings.

Mark Avery, an agronomist with a deep interest in American history, genealogy, and family lore, brings a personal connection to the story. His grandfather, Lone Hock, once the park superintendent, lived just a block from Brandon Park, inspiring Avery’s lifelong appreciation for this local treasure. Admission is free and the public is invited to attend this presentation, to be held on Saturday, May 31, at 1 p.m., at the Thomas T. Taber Museum.

Penn College video wins silver Telly Award
WILLIAMSPORT — A Pennsylvania College of Technology video that chronicles the school’s journey for Baja SAE Williamsport has won a silver Telly Award in the 46th international competition that honors excellence in video and television across all screens.
“The Road to Baja SAE Williamsport – Extended Director’s Cut” won the award in the Telly’s non-broadcast/general-miscellaneous category. The eight-minute video highlights the Penn College Baja team, a group of students from multiple majors who designed and built an all-terrain vehicle to survive various performance tests at Baja SAE Williamsport. Held in May 2024 at Penn College’s Heavy Con-
TURKEY DINNER
struction Equipment Training Operations Site in Brady Township, Baja SAE Williamsport featured 102 collegiate teams and nearly 1,800 students. The video follows the Penn College crew from the design stage through the conclusion of the rugged four-day competition. Penn College capped the event by finishing fourth in the four-hour endurance race.
Thomas F. Speicher, writer/video producer, produced and edited the video. Footage was shot by Christopher J. Leigh, video producer; Braxton A. Shope, assistant video producer; and Speicher.

Yoder, associate vice president for public relations and marketing. “It’s always gratifying to garner tributes from your professional peers, and the accolades earned for this project are well-deserved. Watching this video is the next best thing to being there. Congratulations to Tom – and to Chris and Braxton – for documenting all the riveting action, and painstaking preparation, in award-winning fashion.”

Springtime alert: Leave young wildlife alone
From PA Game Commission
Whether in their backyards or high on a mountain, it’s almost certain Pennsylvanians will encounter young wildlife this time of year.
While some young animals might appear to be abandoned, usually they are not. It’s likely their mothers are watching over them from somewhere nearby. So when encountering young wild animals, whether deer, birds, raccoons or something else, the best thing you can do is leave them alone.
tors or other intruders away from their young.
Deer employ this strategy, and deer fawns sometimes are assumed to be abandoned when, in fact, their mothers are nearby.
The Game Commission urges Pennsylvanians to resist the urge to interfere with young wildlife or remove any wild animal from its natural setting.
who illegally takes wildlife into captivity be allowed to keep that animal, and under a working agreement with state health officials, any “high risk” rabies vector species confiscated after human contact must be euthanized and tested; none can be returned to the wild because the risk of spreading disease is too high.
“During this time of year, it’s common for people to see young wildlife and mistakenly assume that they are abandoned or in need of help,” said Matthew Schnupp, the Game Commission’s Bureau of Wildlife Management Director. “As well-intentioned as they are in trying to help these animals, the reality is that the mother is probably nearby and waiting for you to leave so she can return. The best approach when encountering any wildlife is to simply let them be.”
Adult animals often leave their young while they forage for food, but they don’t go far and they do return. Wildlife also often relies on a natural defensive tactic called the “hider strategy,” where young animals will remain motionless and “hide” in surrounding cover while adults draw the attention of potential preda-
Such contact can be harmful to both people and wildlife. Wild animals can lose their natural fear of humans, making it difficult, even impossible, for them to ever again live normally in the wild. And anytime wildlife is handled, there’s always a risk people could contract diseases or parasites such as fleas, ticks and lice. Wildlife that becomes habituated to humans also can pose a public-safety risk. Some years ago, a yearling, six-point buck attacked and severely injured two people. The investigation into the incident revealed that a neighboring family had illegally taken the deer into their home and fed it as a fawn, and they continued to feed the deer right up until the time of the attack.
It is illegal to take or possess wildlife from the wild. Under state law, the penalty for such a violation is a fine of up to $1,500 per animal.

Animals infected with rabies might not show obvious symptoms, but still might be able to transmit the disease. Though any mammal might carry rabies, the rabies vector species identified in the agreement are: skunks, raccoons, foxes, bats, coyotes and groundhogs.
People can get rabies from the saliva of a rabid animal if they are bitten or scratched, or if the saliva gets into the person’s eyes, mouth or a fresh wound.
Only wildlife rehabilitators, who are licensed by the Game Commission, are permitted to care for injured or orphaned wildlife for the purposes of eventual release back into the wild. For those who find wildlife that truly is in need of assistance, a listing of licensed wildlife rehabilitators can be found on the Pennsylvania Association of Wildlife Rehabilitators website, www.pawr.com.
If you are unable to identify a wildlife rehabilitator in your area, contact the Game Commission by phone at 1-833-PGC-WILD or 1-833-PGC-HUNT.
I FLY IPT!
Flying out of Williamsport Regional Airport was more a ordable than it was if I would have flown out of some of the other airports that I typically fly out of.
It was just really nice to be able to fly directly to a large airport that had numerous choices for connecting flights. It was great.
