Use headlights in foggy conditions

PennDOT reminds motorists of Pennsylvania’s law requiring moving vehicles to have headlights turned on when visibility is low due to unfavorable conditions, including fog. When driving in fog, low beam headlights should be used since the high beam setting creates glare and further reduces visibility.

You can help local kids

The Lock Haven Area Shoe Bank gives free new shoes to eligible kids and teens in Clinton County and the Liberty-Curtin School area. It’s a simple idea – good sneakers and shoes for kids who need them. The Shoe Bank relies on community support. If you would like to help, you are encouraged to donate one or more pairs of new shoes. You may drop them off at the store, A Little Bird, at 132 E. Main St., Lock Haven. If you would like to volunteer at the Shoe Bank, please email wstiver01@icloud.com or find us on Facebook.

Gardening Questions?

Call the Penn State Master Gardener Hotline in Clinton County at 570-858-0198 or send an email to ClintonMG@psu.edu to ask a Master Gardener your questions.
