Branden was the son of Stacey VanTreese and Steve Lampman. He was the brother of Careesha Lampman and Ashley (Alan) Sherwood.

Branden was not your average 36 year old man. He had a very close relationship with his parents, nieces, nephews and family in general. Branden would eat, sleep and breathe for those he loved. He never made plans of his own but stayed busy watching all of the children in his life excel in extra-curricular activities. He never missed an event he was invited to. He loved all sports – especially golf, fast-pitch softball and cornhole. He played in every tournament he knew of. Branden was a lover of all music and was one of those people that never complained over which station was playing. He had a cane corso, Luna, that will miss him dearly as she was his baby.

On November 3, 2023, Branden had just finished work for Osmose Utilities Services as a laborer. He packed his bags and hit the road headed home from Levittown to Harrison Valley, PA. Branden was on the PA Turnpike in a construction zone when his Chevy Sonic broke down while in the lane of traffic. The area of construction that Branden was in is called a “cattle chute.” This is where the lanes shift and there is no shoulder to pull-off for emergencies. When Branden’s vehicle became disabled, he pulled off as best he could. Branden was on the phone with his Dad moments prior to the accident. Branden, while inside of his vehicle, was struck by a dump truck. Branden’s vehicle was almost unrecognizable, crushing the rear end of his car up to the dashboard. Branden lost his life due to a car malfunction in the worst place possible.

I am Cody Metcalf, one of Branden’s cousins and lifelong friends. We spent nearly everyday of our childhood together and to this day, we were together more often than not. Branden and I worked for the same company more times than I can count and we followed each other everywhere. I made this gofundme to help his parents lay him to rest. Branden was the most selfless, caring and trustworthy friend I have ever had. He will be missed by all that knew him. The money raised will go towards travel expenses, funeral costs and to host a celebration of life in Branden’s memory.

Branden is not yet home and his services are incomplete. More information will be posted in the following days. Thank you everyone.

As Pennsylvania College of Technology men’s basketball coach Geoff Hensley gears up for his fifth season, he does so with a good mix of players who bring experience and improved defense to make a move up in program growth.

The Wildcats open their season at home in Bardo Gymnasium against Centenary (N.J.) University at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

“Practices have started very well this year. The team is extremely competitive and hard-working. We return a lot of experience from last year’s squad, which has certainly contributed to the team’s competitive nature,” Hensley said.

Three solid returning players. Several new impact players. An improved offense. Team unity. Those are just four reasons Pennsylvania College of Technology women’s basketball coach Britni Mohney believes her Wildcats are ready to reach new heights.

Penn College is scheduled to open its season at home in Bardo Gymnasium against Penn State Altoona at 5 p.m. on Wednesday.

“Practices have been extremely competitive this year,” Mohney said. “Each year, we look to bring in a first-year class that will make immediate impacts to continue to grow our program, and this class has brought it day in and day out. Their intensity and energy have pushed our returners to step up their games to the next level, which collectively has already made our program better. 

Hello, my name is Daniel Burnside. I am asking for your write-in vote on November 7, 2023 for Ulysses Mayor. I am a stone cutter, mason, framer, builder, arborist, tree farmer, and wood carver. I am not a liar, coward, or a saint.

Hello, my name is Daniel Burnside. I am a Republican candidate for Sheriff in Potter County. I am asking for your write in vote on November 7, 2023. I am a stone cutter, mason, framer, builder, arborist, tree farmer, and wood carver. I am not a liar, coward, or a saint.

In 2003 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for obvious political reasons deemed the sheriff departments not a arm of law enforcement, but only an arm of the court.I promise to do everything in my power to ensure Potter County becomes, as it should, a 2nd amendment sanctuary county. With the obvious Marxist political agenda and its effects, not just nationally but locally as well I promise as a sheriff should to communicate knowledge of 2nd amendment infringements to all voters of potter county, through local veteran’s organizations, as well as gun clubs and militias.

A sheriff’s job is not to bend to the will of the Commonwealth or D.C. July 23rd, 1995, a drunk driver left his mark on my life, I received a medical separation from the US Navy before I ever got the chance to serve my country in that compacity. So, I’m asking for that chance now. Here in Potter County, we have 1700 veterans. I believe veterans are the face of God for a nation. I ask that all voters in Potter County vote for me. Approaching 50 with a wonderful wife and 11 beautiful children, we love potter county and everything it has to offer. i am asking that you give me the opportunity to serve my community in this capacity. Change is good, your current government is correct about that. But it’s time to do away with business as usual in local government. 
Vote Daniel Burnside for Potter County Sheriff, I ask that Republican and Democratic voters write me in for their Sheriff on November 7, 2023.
