Housing plan again main focus for council
By MIKE REUTHER Sun-Gazette Correspondent
Hughesville Borough Council at its recent meeting once again held off on a vote regarding a controversial housing development.
The memorandum of understanding (MOU) covering land development and stormwater came before council but was tabled following discussion.
At issue was whether the housing plan, known as the Kim Development, must adhere strictly to the borough’s stormwater ordinance.
Some council members said the MOU includes provisions indicating that the ordinance could be chal -
lenged by Lycoming County government.
Dave Brown, a Hughesville resident who lives near the proposed housing community, said that would be his understanding of the MOU after reading the document.
County officials, he added, “want this (development) bad.”
Councilman Dan Cale said he believes the county cannot interfere with the ordinance.
Brown asked Cale if he had read the MOU. Cale responded he had read the document, although he’s not an attorney.
He suggested that council meet with the township and the borough solicitor to establish what the
MOU states. Council had tabled the MOU at previous meetings.
In the meantime, borough officials were apprised that Wolf Township Supervisors voted against the MOU.
The development plan calls for construction in three phases of 124 housing units on a 68acre tract, with most of it in the township but a small portion in Hughesville.
In other matters, council approved a request from Dale McClintock to name the baseball field in Bodine Park after the late Jay M. “Bud” Haynes.
Haynes, who died last month at age 84, was a noted Hughesville baseball figure.
The Loyalsock Township Lions Club awarded two outstanding graduates of Loyalsock High School with monetary scholarships. Presenting the $500 checks are Lion Rita Marzzacco to Juliana Willis while recipient Jenine Ghayyada receives her award from Lion Deb Dodson. Lion Scholarship Chairman Bruce Pratt observes.
City to celebrate
Juneteenth with ‘Harboring Hope’

The festivities will kick off with a community cookout at Memorial Park on Thursday from noon to 4 p.m., which will feature free food, games, music, vendors and giveaways,
Thank You
Thank You Hughesville Funeral Home and Cremations for the lovely celebration of life for my husband John F. Hauck. My deepest gratitude to all my family and friends, and Tivoli Methodist Church for Your heartfelt support. Glenda and Jeremy Hauck
He served as a youth baseball coach and for many years was a player in the North Branch League with the adult Hughesville Travelers ball club. McClintock said he was the very first baseball player from Hughesville to play professionally.
“He was a big part of the community,” Councilman Todd McCowan said.
Council held an executive session following the meeting to consider personnel and other issues. The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. Monday, June 23 in the municipal building.
A Freedom Walk will take place from Freedom Road to Brandon Park on Friday, beginning at 7 p.m. After the walk, participants will be treated to a showing of Disney & Pixar’s “SOUL” at the bandshell, where movie treats, bounce houses and more will be available.
A trolley will be stationed at Brandon Park to transport walkers to Freedom Road, a flyer for the event said.
On Saturday, the community is invited to participate in the YWCA Race Against Racism, which steps off at 9 a.m.
Beginning at 10 a.m., participants can enjoy live music, food, history exhibits, poetry readings and the crowning of Mr. & Mrs. Juneteenth, according to the post.
“Let’s come together to honor the past, celebrate the present and build hope for the future,” the post reads.

ACTION: Preliminary Notice for Potential Impacts to Floodplains
Cogent Bank, on behalf of Shady Lane Solar Partners, LLC and EcoPower Holding, LLC, intends to seek financial assistance from USDA, Rural Business and Cooperative Service (RBCS) for construction of a 2.8 MW ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) solar facility.

In accordance with Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, the purpose of this notice is to inform the public of this proposed conversion or effect and request comments concerning the proposal, alternative sites or actions that would avoid these impacts, and methods that could be used to minimize these impacts.
The environmental documentation regarding this proposal is available for review at USDA Rural Development, 359 East Park Drive, Suite 4, Harrisburg, PA 17111. For questions regarding this proposal, contact Jeffrey Gatano at 717-237-2181 or email: Jeffrey.Gatano@usda.gov.

Sunday Hunting Bill Passes House
Legislation that would fully repeal Pennsylvania’s Sunday hunting ban passed the state House of Representatives today and now heads to the Senate for consideration.
Introduced by Rep. Mandy Steele, D-Al-
legheny, House Bill 1431 was approved by the House Game and Fisheries Committee June 3 and sent to the Senate today by a vote of 131-72.
This bill is identical to Senate Bill 67, introduced in March by Sen.
Dan Laughlin, R-Erie. The Game Commission supports both bills, either of which would end the state’s prohibition on Sunday hunting and allow the Game Commission to include Sundays when establishing hunting seasons annually.
While there long have been Sunday hunting opportunities for foxes, coyotes and crows, and Act 107 of 2019 cleared the way for additional hunting on three designated Sundays, Sunday hunting otherwise is prohibited in Pennsylvania, one of the last remnants of the state’s “blue laws.”
The initiative to repeal the ban has a broad base of support behind it. Many sportsmen’s groups back the proposal, as does the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau. The Game Commission has been working with this coalition to get the bill across the finish line, an outcome that would benefit hunters and help
ensure the future of wildlife management.
Game Commission Executive Director Steve Smith expressed the agency’s support for the proposal.
“Though hunters play an active role in helping to manage wildlife populations, through the purchase of their licenses and other revenue they generate, they also fund wildlife conservation at a larger scale, for all species,” Smith said. “For those reasons and others, it’s important to keep hunters engaged and providing the valuable service they do. These bills would help accomplish that. One of the biggest reasons hunters stop hunting is a lack of time. While no one can add hours to the day or days to the week, removing the prohibition on Sunday hunting holds the potential to add significantly more time to the hunting calendar and keep hunters
hunting. On behalf of the Game Commission and hunters all across the Commonwealth, I sincerely thank Representative Steele for introducing this legislation, Chairwoman Anita
Kulik for her leadership in guiding it through the House Game and Fisheries Committee, and all the members who supported this important initiative.”
