The borough previously received a $120,000 grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority. Scam Alert! Beware the ‘Phantom Hacker’  Senior citizens and all Pennsylvanians are being warned to be on the lookout for a new scam called “The Phantom Hacker,” which involves convincing victims that their financial accounts have been hacked. According to the FBI, perpetrators of the Phantom Hacker scheme gain the trust of victims in three phases: First, they pose as a tech support representative and convince the victim to download a piece of software. Then they call a second time, pretending to be from the victim’s bank or another financial institution. Finally, they claim to be an employee of a federal agency. The goal of the scam is to convince people to move their money into an “alias” account, where the scammers can steal it. The scam can include emails, texts, phone calls and even letters sent via the U.S. Postal Service. All Pennsylvanians should be extremely cautious when receiving unsolicited texts, phone calls or emails which could lead scammers straight to your bank account. Think twice before providing any personal information. If you are at all suspicious, call your financial institution directly using a phone number you know to be affiliated with the institution. Victims are urged to report any fraudulent or suspicious activities to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov. Suspected fraud can also be reported at www.ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

PennDOT Reminds Motorists How to Stay Safe in Case of Emergency
Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is committed to continuously improving highway safety and employs a multi-faceted approach that includes outreach and education to encourage safer driving habits. As such, PennDOT is taking this opportunity to remind drivers how to best keep themselves safe in the case of an emergency on an Interstate or Freeway.
Under no circumstances should you exit your vehicle when close to or in active lanes of traffic. Pull your vehicle as far away from the active lanes of traffic as possible, preferably into a rest area or emergency pull-off if one is available. Then call a mechanic, tow truck, or your insurance companies’ roadside assistance provider for help. If you’re not sure who to contact, you may also contact the local police or 911.
Always pay attention to your location so you can accurately report it. On Interstates, green mile markers are located every tenth of a mile on the shoulder.
If your vehicle is disabled, place a white handkerchief or any bright colored cloth on the radio antenna or vehicle door facing traffic. If you break down at night, turn on the headlights and hazard lights. Remain in your vehicle and wait for help to arrive.
For more information on PennDOT’s approach to improving highway safety, visit www.penndot.pa.gov/safety.

In Wake of Philadelphia Looting, House Republicans Unveil Anti-Looting Bill Package
HARRISBURG – In the wake of recent rampant and violent looting in Philadelphia that caused significant property damage and loss, House Republicans today unveiled a package of anti-looting legislation that will increase penalties on looters, put additional teeth in juvenile curfews, crackdown on social media coordination of looting and enhance penalties for those looting state property, including liquor stores.
“The uncontrolled looting and violence we saw in Philadelphia recently was more than unacceptable: It was disastrous and disgusting,” said House Republican Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster).
“Pennsylvanians want safe communities—and they need them for neighborhoods to grow and thrive—so I am proud to see House Republicans step up and further our Keystone Commitment by introducing this package of bills to make our streets safer and help prevent this looting from occurring again.”
