The Lumber Heritage Region (LHR) is pleased to announce the recipients of its 2025-2026 Mini-Grant Program. In addition to at least $30,000 to be distributed in 2025 Mini Grant Funds by the Lumber Heritage Region, these grant projects will leverage more than $51,436 in local spending to build communities and improve life for residents and visitors.

The mini grant program is possible through the funding provided by DCNR’s partnership grant. The LHR was able to fund eight of the eighteen organizations that applied. “This year we received applications for more than $188,000 in leveraged projects – that’s incredible growth,” said Holly Komonczi, Executive Director at the Lumber Heritage Region. “It really shows the enthusiasm across our region and the impact our staff and partners are having in supporting local communities.”

Penn College Athletics at a Glance

Last week in review: The early-season fortunes of the basketball teams continued in opposite directions, with the women posting a 2-1 week and the men losing twice. Also, the wrestling team opened its dual match season, going 1-1.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Last week’s hometown highlights: Breana Valentine, of Fairfield, poured in 23 points, and Gigi Parlante, of Williamsport, scored 18 points and pulled down 10 rebounds as the Wildcats overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat Penn State Altoona on Monday and extend their season-opening win streak to five. The victory was Penn College’s first against Altoona after five losses dating to 2021.

Seeking a program record-tying sixth straight win to open the season on Wednesday against Elmira College, and looking to end a 16-game drought dating to 2005 against the Soaring Eagles, Penn College fell just short on a game-ending, buzzer-beating trey. Parlante led the squad with 13 points, and Valentine added 10 points. The one-point loss was the closest final score ever between the two teams.
