Wolf. This guidance balances keeping student athletes safe from COVID-19 while allowing them to participate in an important part of their lives. PRESS RELEASE, PUBLIC HEALTH
Governor Tom Wolf today reminded Pennsylvanians that mask-wearing is required when entering any business in all counties in the state in both yellow and green phases of reopening. Masks are considered critical in stopping the spread of COVID, now and in preparation for a possible resurgence of the virus in the fall. The mask requirement is part of Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel’s Levine’s order, “Directing Public Health Safety Measures for Businesses Permitted to Maintain In-person Operations,” which pertains to all counties regardless of the phase of reopening. North Street Community Church will be hosting Loss of a Spouse, a 2-hour seminar that deals with the unique challenges associated with the death of a spouse.
The class features a video with practical, encouraging advice from counselors, pastors, and widowed men and women, followed by a small-group sharing time. You’ll learn what to expect in the days ahead, how to handle the loneliness, what to do with your spouse’s belongings and how to find the strength to go on. Everyone who attends receives a booklet with over 30 short readings on how to live with grief and eventually rebuild your life. The event will take place on June 28, from 2-4 p.m. at North Street Church, 177 North Street, Canton, PA.

The bank will provide a “receipt” for the amount you leave there, however if you need an official receipt, please also leave a self-addressed stamped envelope at the bank, or send your request email to casdtax@canton.k12.pa.us and one will be returned via email. When mailing, do not send cash – please use check or money order. When the American Bankers Association recently announced the top-performing community banks in the nation, First Citizens Community Bank made the list once again, ranking 59th, up seventeen places from the previous year. They ranked 3rd for banks in the state of Pennsylvania where they are headquartered. FCCB has been recognized by the ABA for their financial performance for thirteen consecutive years. Rankings are based on a three-year average Return on Equity (ROE). According to the ABA, the two key factors that contributed to the performance of the top banks were profitable lending and effectively managing expenses.
FCCB has always had a strong commercial, agricultural and mortgage lending arm, and has experienced significant growth since their transition into the Union, Lebanon, Lancaster and Centre County markets. The Bank has continued to identify opportunities for loan and deposit growth with their recent move into Kent and New Castle counties in Delaware with the acquisition of MidCoast Community Bank in April. by Rachel Heitzenrater
