Tim
Bowers resigns as NorCo solicitor, plans ‘D-A’ run
SUNBURY – Looks
like the Montour County D-A could have some competition next year.
Attorney Tim Bowers, currently the Northumberland County solicitor,
announced his resignation from that job and said he plans to seek
public office in Montour County.
Bowers lives in
Sunbury but has—or will soon—move to Montour County. He declined to
elaborate on what public office he may seek, but he is widely
rumored as a candidate for District Attorney next year. Bowers would
only say in his letter of resignation, that there is significant
interest in having me pursue a public opportunity. Asked if he
was running for D-A, Bowers would not comment.
Bowers was
appointed Northumberland County solicitor in April of this year and
replaced Vincent Rovito. Bowers resignation is effective September 3rd.

announced his reelection intentions and has not returned a call from

Delays
continue at Route 11/54 signal, more repairs coming
DANVILLE -- The
traffic signal at the Route 54 and Route 11 intersection in Danville
may look like it is functioning properly, but those who travel
through it frequently may notice a delay. Wednesday, a contractor
doing work at the intersection accidentally cut the main line to the
traffic signals.
It caused backups
and police were in the road directing traffic much of the day.
Danville Police Chief Eric Gill tells us the whole system has to be
rewired. PennDOT doesn't allow temporary replacement of traffic
signals. The rewiring work will be done in the upcoming weeks.
Gill says at that time, police would again have to direct traffic,
but they hope to do that later in the evening.
For now, the signal
is working, but Gill says there may be a one to two minute delay, as
the lights in each direction are set to change after the maximum
time regardless of how many vehicles are waiting. (Sara Bartlett)
