Local Artist Honors Local Legend at Muncy Place with Paintings
Muncy, Pa., September 12, 2025 – Local artist Jeff Myers, of Hughesville, recently presented two water-
color portraits to Andy Dymond, a longtime resident at Muncy Place, a part of UPMC Senior Communities, honoring his life and impact on the community. The paintings, now displayed at Muncy Place, celebrate Andy’s journey from his days riding a bicycle through Hughesville and Muncy to finding a true sense of family and home within the nursing facility.
The Lycoming County Commissioners are pleased to announce
WILLIAMSPORT, Lycoming County – The Lycoming County Commissioners are pleased to announce that the County will receive $5,400,000.00 for the sale of 1350 acres of subsurface rights in Jackson Township, Pennsylvania to Range Resources
– Appalachia, LLC.
The transaction also includes a royalty agreement under which the County will receive regular royalty payments on all oil, gas and other hydrocarbons produced from the property. Proceeds from the sale and royalty agreement will
be used to benefit taxpayers in Lycoming County.
After over a year of complex negotiations, the Board is satisfied to have come to this agreement. Not only does it infuse the County with an immediate lump sum payment of funds and a percentage of future royalties which may run to perpetuity, but importantly, it includes robust protections for the County against future litigation risk.
Additionally, the County is excited about Range’s vision for this property and confident that Range’s development of the property will maximize the County’s future earnings.
The law firm of McNerney, Page, Vanderlin & Hall represented the County in the transaction, which closed on September 11, 2025.
“Andy was very intriguing as a young kid, and I felt like he needed preserved on paper,” Myers said. “If this painting brings him happiness, I’ll just be thrilled to be a part of it.”
Surrounded by staff, friends, and neighbors, Andy was moved by the tribute, reflecting, “It’s wonderful to have the paintings here and that the people of Hughesville still remember me.”

Annual Hymn Sing at Old Immanuel Lutheran Church
The Rev. Jeff LeCrone, pastor of St. Luke Lutheran Church in Williamsport, will be leading the upcoming Annual Fall Hymn Sing at Old Immanuel Lutheran Church, 2633 Lime Bluff Road, Muncy. The service will take place on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 2:30pm.
Pastor LeCrone, a former United Methodist pastor, will be exploring the
musical connection between the Lutheran and Methodist traditions, with several hymns by the prolific Methodist hymn writer Charles Wesley and prominent Lutheran hymn writers, including Martin Luther himself. Each hymn on the program appears in both the Lutheran Book of Worship and the United Methodist Hymnal. Rebecca Ciabattari, organist
and choir director at St. Luke, will provide musical accompaniment on the church’s antique pump organ.
Old Immanuel is considered to be the mother church of Lutheranism in Lycoming County. Founded in 1791, it lived until its doors shut permanently in 1920. The first structure built on the property was of log; the second and third (the current) structures were of brick. The current building was dedicated in 1869, and contains two cornerstones, one in German dated 1832, and one in English dated 1869. At least 9 Revolutionary Soldiers and 5 Civil War Soldiers are buried in the historic cemetery. The church was built on land donated by Henry and Barbara Shoemaker, of “Shoemaker Mills”
at the Route 442/405 intersection.
At one time, there was a school associated with Old Immanuel, and the church contained a gallery, a wine-glass pulpit, and enough straightbacked pews to seat 600 people.
Old Immanuel closed its doors for regular services in 1920, after giving rise to 19 other Lutheran congregations. Some of these have also closed their doors, such as Trinity (Huntersville), St. Paul’s (Millville), Germany Church (at one time known at St. John’s), Katy’s Church (at one time known as Immanuel Lutheran), Christ Lutheran (Montgomery), Messiah (Alvira), the Stone Church in Elimsport, and Zion’s, also in Elimsport. Others, such as Moreland Lutheran (at one time known at St. John’s) and St. Mark’s Lutheran (Lairdsville) have taken on new identities as they have become home to other congregations.
Churches that have sprung up from Old Immanuel that continue with the Lutheran tradition include Trinity and Mount Zion, Hughesville; St. Andrew, Muncy; St. James, Muncy; Messiah, Clarkstown; St. John’s, Gordner’s Grove; St. John’s (Brick), Montgomery; and Bethany, Montoursville.
Recently, the
church’s roof has received a new coat of paint. In addition, the church’s belltower has been renovated and refurbished, and all the shutters have been repaired and repainted. Further projects include restoration of the windows, walls, and ceiling. A free-will offering will be taken to help offset the cost of these and other on-going expenses.
The public is invited to attend this service as well as to tour the historic church. Light refreshments will be served on the church lawn after the service. Please note that the church does not have running water
or electricity, and is not fully handicap accessible. For more information, or to follow Old Immanuel more closely, “Like” “Old Immanuel Lutheran Church” on FaceBook!!!

The festival will be held at the District Cinema at Lycoming Valley, located at the former Lycoming Mall in
Muncy. Over the three-day event, attendees can look forward to viewing films from not only the commonwealth of Pennsylvania and across the continental United States, but stunning visual contributions from filmmakers from Japan, India, Iran, Spain, Canada and South America.
Amongst the fascinating international films making their U.S. theatrical premiers are: ALI vs ALI, a true story about a young man pursuing his childhood dream of meeting Muhammed Ali that comes from gifted Iranian director Alireza Rofougaran. Rofougaran is also a veteran of the silver
screen, having acted in several critically acclaimed films including the Academy Award Winner THE SALESMAN.
Also from Iran, Nadereh Sadat Serki, a Professor of Art from the University of Tehran, called CLAIMANT, tells the story of a father confronting a powerful lawyer who assaulted his teen aged daughter - with a surprise ending.
India’s Shravan Pranesh, Karthick Mohan and Karthik Gopal deliver a heartwarming drama called CHILDREN FROM HEAVEN, where we learn about God’s answers through conflicts faced by four thought provoking children who are challenged by society.
RED BOOK RITUALS: GATES OF HELL comes from an all-star cast of producers based in Spain and shot in South America in the TALES FROM THE CRYPT-style film compilation format, with short stories intertwined together. Horrific tales surround a group of young people who dare to perform an ancient game called “Red Book Ritual” that summons supernatural forces to awaken – much to the horror of the gamers.

Tips for winterizing exterior living areas
When the summer entertaining season draws to a close, homeowners need to ensure their outdoor living areas can handle weather that’s right around the corner. Although outdoor furniture and other items tend to be durable, the impact snow, wind and ice can have on them may lead to damage over time. That is why many homeowners take steps to winterize their outdoor spaces and protect their belongings. Here’s a look at how to prepare for
the winter to come.
· Furniture: Cover or store furniture to protect it from the elements. Covering it with weather-proof covers can be adequate if storing items indoors is not possible.
· Deep clean: Items that will be covered or stored should be thoroughly cleaned prior to being removed from spaces for the season. Lingering dirt and moisture can cause damage.
to prevent freezing and cover any exposed pipes.
· Apply mulch: After cleaning up garden debris, think about applying mulch to garden beds and cover tender plants to protect them from the weather.
thaw cycles. Consider applying a sealant to protect surfaces from snow and ice.
· Insulate and drain: Don’t risk damage to pipes, which can freeze and crack in the cold. Shut off the water supply to exterior faucets and drain water lines to prevent pipes from freezing and bursting. Use foam pipe insulation
· Check gutters: Be sure that gutters and downspouts are clear of leaves and any additional debris. If gutters and downspouts are not cleaned, ice dams may form on the roof and cause water damage.
· Inspect and repair: Inspect walkways and driveways for any damage and make repairs now so water will not seep in and cause further issues with freeze-
· Pools and spas: It’s essential to follow the industry or manufacturer recommendations for closing down swimming pools and spas for the season. While covers may not be essential in all climates, covering can help prevent leaves and other debris from getting in the water. Water should be expelled from pipes and tubing to prevent freezing and bursting. If space allows, consider moving the pool pump indoors to prolong its longevity. Turn off the electricity to the outlet where the filter is plugged in.
Small renovations that make a big impact
think they have to tear down walls or build room extensions to transform their homes with renovation projects. But small projects can yield impressive results, and that’s something homeowners working with limited budgets can keep in mind.
There’s no shortage of small projects that can change the look and feel of a home. Many of these undertakings can be achieved with a modest investment.
· Front door replacement: A new front door instantly improves curb appeal and can make a
energy-efficient. Paint ing the existing front door is an even smaller project that still offers appeal.
· Lighting addition: Whether a homeowner enlarges a window or adds skylights, natural light can produce incredible results. Investing in new lighting can feel like expanding a space without pushing out walls.
· Kitchen and bath fixture upgrades: Faucets and door pulls are used every day. Swapping existing fixtures for something a little more modern can unify spaces and provide
subtle changes that enhance these popular spaces.
· Wood floor restoration: Scuffing and scratches can adversely affect the pristine look of a natural wood floor. Homeowners can polish a floor to restore its shine. A professional service will sand down and refinish older floors at a fraction of the cost of a new floor installation.
· Exterior lighting: Lighting isn’t just important inside. A welcoming glow in the yard is awe-inspiring. There are many energy-efficient lighting options, including ones that do
not need to be hardwired to the circuitry inside the home.
· Staircase renovation: Coordinate the staircase to the style in the home with a decorative carpet runner. A secure runner is attractive and can help reduce slipping down the stairs. Tighten shaky railings or replace them while upgrading the stair treads.
· Interior paint: Change the color of walls, doors, cabinets, or even furniture with paint. All homeowners need is a paint color that inspires them and a little bit of time.
· Replace outlet
covers: Upgrade outlet covers with screwless options. Screwless plates for outlets and light switches can make walls look more sleek.
· Entry organizer installation: Banish clutter from the home by catching it at the door. An entry organizer with spaces for shoes, coats, backpacks, and shopping bags can
be eye-catching and functional.
· Carpets cleaning: Soiled carpets can look drab and dingy. Homeowners can rent carpet-cleaning machines or hire services to revitalize carpets with a deep cleaning.
Small changes around a home can create a big impact without breaking the bank.

Pennsdale Friends received two grants
Work has begun on the roof replacement for the Pennsdate Friends Meetinghouse -Lycoming County’s oldest house of worship in continuous use since 1799.
The project is being suppored with a $tO,OOO grant.from the Watdron Memoriat Fund at First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsytvania. AdditionaI support has been provided bythe Phitadetphia Yearty M
eeting. This is not the first time the meetinghouse has benefited from the generosity of the Watdron Memorial Fund, which in the past has hetped to rebuitd the cemeterywatt, re-ptasterthe interior, reptace windows and refinish the wide-ptankftooring. Atmost 50 years ago artist David Armstrong provided prints from a watercotor he had done of the meetinghouse for members
to sett when both our furnace and roof needed reptacement.
Quakers were some of the first settlers in the vatteywhen the land where they buitt their homes and farms was granted by Pennsylvania’s founder Wittiam Penn. Quakers were known for their abotitionistwork and the meetinghouse is thoughtto be a gathering ptace for runaway enstaved peoptes as they continued their journey to Canada. Sheep kept in the cemetery made odd noises at night, supportingthe rumors that there were ghosts, and most stave
catchers kept their distance.
Al.t are wetcome for meeting for worship every Sunday morning at 11. Quakers have neither creed nor minister, betieving it is the responsibitity of each of us to minister to each
other. Friends today bring a wide range of spirituat betiefs to the worship experience, and w consider oursetves fortunate to be abte to worship together in this place of historic simpticity and peacefutness.

Sunday Hunting is Here
Going hunting this weekend? You’ll have an extra day to make it happen.
Pennsylvania’s new law repealing the state’s previous ban on Sunday hunting has taken effect, and the resulting new opportunities kick off this weekend on Sunday, Sept. 14.
“This weekend is one for the history books,” said Game Commission Executive Director Steve Smith. “Pennsylvania hunters finally have an opportunity to hunt on a Sunday under the newly enacted law, and I couldn’t be more excited to ring-in Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania in 2025. Hunting is a proud tradition for hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians, and with Sundays adding more time to the hunting calendar, there’s more incentive for hunters to stay engaged, pass that tradition on to future generations, and ensure the future of our state’s wildlife populations. The future is bright, this fall and beyond.”
Sunday marks the second day of Pennsylvania’s squirrel hunting season, and hunters taking to the fields and forests on
Sunday also will be able to pursue woodchucks, coyotes, antlerless deer on Ag Tag properties, crows and bobwhite quail. As the weeks pass, and additional hunting seasons open for the year, a greater assortment of Sunday hunting opportunities will be available.
A total of 13 Sundays have been approved for 2025. From Sunday, Sept. 14 through Sunday, Dec. 7, Sunday hunting is permitted within any established hunting season, except for migratory game bird seasons. Canada geese, doves, rails and gallinules – all of which are in season now – may not be hunted on Sundays. In state parks, Sunday hunting is only permitted on the three Sundays initially approved for the 2025-26 hunting seasons – Nov. 16, Nov. 23 and Nov. 30. Additionally, the previously approved Sundays for foxes, coyotes and crows remain in place.
The new law allowing for more Sunday hunting follows the passage House Bill 1431, introduced by Rep. Mandy Steele, D-Allegheny. Gov. Shapiro signed the bill into law July 9 as
Act 36 of 2025. The new law took effect Sept. 7.
Following the bill’s signing, the Game Commission revisited the already-approved 2025-26 hunting seasons, adding new Sunday hunting opportunities to many seasons this fall.
To keep hunters up to date on changes, an alert bar was placed at the top of the homepage at www. pa.gov/pgc. Clicking on it leads to a Sunday hunting page with complete information about the changes. A new edition of the 2025-26 Pennsylvania Hunting & Trapping Digest that includes new Sunday hunting days is available to view and download.
Smith said providing new Sunday hunting opportunities wouldn’t have been possible without the wealth of support behind the initiative.
“While hunters long asked for expanded Sunday hunting, and the Game Commission recognized the meaningful impacts Sunday hunting could have for the future of conservation in the Commonwealth, state law had to change before any new opportunities could be added,” Smith said. “A broad coalition of support came together to make it happen. On behalf of our hunters, I’d like to thank Representative Mandy Steele, who sponsored the legislation that brought Pennsylvania more Sunday hunting; all supporting members of the General Assembly, including Senator Dan Laughlin, who long has championed Sunday hunting expansion; and Governor Shapiro, whose leadership in signing Act 36 ensured these opportunities became reality. I’d also like to thank the countless sportsmen’s groups who care deeply about wildlife; the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau; and especially, the hard-working staff of the Pennsylvania Game Commission and our Board of Commissioners. Without them, this weekend would contain just another Sunday.”
