No office hours 10/28 (today) or 10/30, I am out covering in New Milford and then gone until Monday. Will be back in office the week of Nov. 9.

CORRECTION: In the story I wrote on SCTOA in the 10/22 issue, I mentioned the PPL demo and said the presenter was a guy named Doug Haupt. This is incorrect and the demonstrators were Ryan and Louis.

Note: I will not be in my office on Thursday 10/23. My office hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays and I try to be in the office by at least noon until 5pm. I don't live in town but I'm working on being better at time.

Hi everyone, I've just been informed there will NOT be a farmers brunch at the Susquehanna County Conservation District on Halloween. Unfortunately I did not know this until after it had already gone to press.

You can come to the office right now at 82 Public Ave if you really want to get your hands on a copy fast! Just $1 per issue, as usual.

IMPORTANT: The Susquehanna Independent goes to press Tuesdays at 11 a.m. and I spend all Monday putting things in the server for the issue. Material has to get to me on or before Monday afternoon or it won't make it in.

The About Us page is updated and I have posted two new stories so far. More coming!

Our Story

The Susquehanna County Independent and the Weekender are based out of Montrose, Pa. the County Seat of Susquehanna County. The Independent has been continually published since February 1816, when it first appeared as The Centinel. In recent years, the paid publication has sharpened its focus on hard news and improved on its flair for connecting with the 40 communities it serves. Strong attention is given to county and municipal government, courts and crime, natural gas development, schools, community happenings, local sports and current events. The Independent has been recognized by the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association with many Keystone Press Awards. The Weekender - the Independent’s companion, free publication - focuses on area events and happenings. The Susquehanna County Independent is part of the Sample News Group family of newspapers.
