SUNBURY SHOOTER’S FATHER ALSO JAILED

When police made a traffic stop of that vehicle near UPMC Sunbury, they say Uhuru’s father was driving it and said the younger man had given him directions on where to pick up the vehicle.

PARKING FOR FUNDRAISING DURING WORLD SERIES OVER
In the wake of entrance policy changes at Little League International this summer, Danville’s Ronald McDonald House fundraising partnership for parking in the Beiters lot on Route 15 is likely over. According to the Sun Gazette, new entrance and gate policies state that all guests must enter the park at Gate 3, which is down further on Champions Way, a 22 minute, 1.2 mile walk from the Beiter’s parking lot. Montgomery Lions, who also park cars as a fundraiser in the open space next to Beiter’s during the World Series, is seeking another method for raising funds this year. Most representatives from the non-profit groups admit that crossing Route 15 is a dangerous task. Little League International will offer limited free parking at the South Williamsport Sports Complex.
