HARRISBURG – Rep. Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford) is inviting residents of the 68th Legislative District to join him for a telephone town hall meeting on Thursday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m. to discuss a variety of state and local issues.
“This is a great opportunity to talk about the issues that matter most to us, both in Harrisburg and here at home,” Owlett said. “I will share information about a variety of topics, including the state budget and education issues, as well as ongoing efforts to bring rural broadband to our communities.”
A telephone town hall meeting works very much like a traditional town hall meeting, but because people can participate from the comfort of their own homes, these meetings typically draw hundreds of people rather than just dozens.
Calls inviting people to participate will start going out about five minutes before the telephone town hall meeting is to begin. Participants can simply stay on the line to listen, or press *3 if they’d like to make a comment or ask a question.

Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that work on a Route 4001 (Kettle Creek Road) bridge in Leidy Township, Clinton County, will start on Friday, November 17.
Work on this bridge, which spans Kettle Creek near the Alvin R. Bush Dam, will enhance motorists’ safety and improve the structure’s overall condition rating from poor to good.
Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control while the contractor places concrete barriers along the northbound and southbound sides of the road. Upon completion, the contractor will keep both lanes open to traffic, but there will be a 10-foot width restriction for northbound and southbound traffic for the duration of the work.
PennDOT urges drivers to exercise caution in this and all work zones, obey posted speed limits, and always buckle up.
Overall work includes improvements to the bridge barrier wall, guide rail installation, and pavement marking. PennDOT anticipates completion of this work by Saturday, November 18, but all work is weather dependent.
