radioNOVO News for Selinsgrove: April 22, 2026

RNN SELINSGROVE 04/22/26          A CRITICAL LIFELINE FOR NORTH CENTRE TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS WITH CONTAMINATED WELLS IS ON THE VERGE OF RUNNING DRY. THE STATE’S HAZARDOUS SITE CLEANUP FUND, WHICH PROVIDES BOTTLED WATER AND FILTRATION SYSTEMS FOR HOMES PLAGUED BY "FOREVER CHEMICALS," IS NEARLY DEPLETED. GOVERNOR SHAPIRO HAS PROPOSED $20 MILLION TO RESCUE THE FUND, BUT THE PLAN REMAINS STALLED IN THE STATE SENATE. WITHOUT A BUDGET FIX, OFFICIALS WARN THAT WHILE THEY CAN STILL TEST LOCAL WATER, THEY WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THE COSTLY TREATMENT SYSTEMS.          ABOUT 30 SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WALKED OUT OF CLASS YESTERDAY TO PROTEST FEDERAL IMMIGRATION POLICIES AND RECENT I-C-E DETENTIONS. ORGANIZED BY THE CAMPUS YOUNG DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS, THE GROUP GATHERED ON SMITH LAWN TO VOICE CONCERNS OVER RISING DETAINEE DEATHS AND MASS DEPORTATIONS.  UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS DECLINED TO COMMENT ON THE DEMONSTRATION.           SUNBURY’S ANNUAL SPRING CLEANUP BEGINS MAY 1ST, AND THIS YEAR COMES WITH SOME CHANGES. RESIDENTS NOW HAVE THE ENTIRE MONTH TO DROP OFF UNWANTED HOUSEHOLD ITEMS BUT MUST FIRST PICK UP A VOUCHER AT CITY HALL. PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR ANDREW RAMOS SAYS THE NEW FORMAT AIMS TO REDUCE ILLEGAL DUMPING AND KEEP THE PROGRAM COST-EFFECTIVE. JUST REMEMBER—ELECTRONICS, TIRES, AND APPLIANCES WITH FREON ARE STILL STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
