Call Clearfield State Police if you have any information. The Board of Directors for the Madisonburg Water works in Centre County is breathing a sigh of relief. The Department of Environmental Protection was threatening the board with jail time if they didn't make improvements to the water system. The attorney for the board says the DEP dropped their threat in favor of mediation. A neutral judge will go to Madisonburg to survey the situation and try and come up with a solution the town can live with, if one is necessary.
Residents still maintain there's nothing wrong with their water.
Norman Johnston fled the State Correctional Institution at Huntingdon in August. He eluded authorities for 18 days. This week, a State Corrections report says Johnston planned his escape for at least a year. There was also evidence that two former employees smuggled him contraband. About half of the suspects waived their right to a preliminary hearing, the other half had their hearings continued or delayed.
