RNN SELINSGROVE 06/10/26          A SUNBURY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT APPOINTMENT HAS BEEN REVERSED LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS APPROVED IT.          DERRICK BACKER WAS NAMED ASSISTANT DIRECTOR MONDAY NIGHT.  BUT DESPITE BRINGING 19 YEARS OF EMERGENCY EXPERIENCE TO THE JOB, THE CITY SOLICITOR DETERMINED TUESDAY THAT LOCAL ORDINANCES DISQUALIFY HIM FROM EMPLOYMENT BECAUSE HE IS NOT A RESIDENT OR A CITY EMPLOYEE.          THE COUNCIL EXPECTS TO OFFICIALLY RESCIND THE APPOINTMENT AT THEIR JUNE 22ND MEETING.          MONTOUR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED STRICTER RULES FOR LOCAL DATA CENTERS.          THE AMENDMENTS REVERSE AN EARLIER DECISION... SLASHING THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BUILDING HEIGHT, AND DOUBLING THE REQUIRED DISTANCE FROM SCHOOLS, PARKS, AND HOMES TO 1,000 FEET.          OFFICIALS SAY THE TOUGHER CODES BRING THE DATA CENTERS IN LINE WITH LOCAL INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS.          ORGANIZERS OF A TEMPORARY HOMELESS SHELTER IN MONTOUR COUNTY SAY THEY ARE RUNNING ON FUMES... AND DESPERATELY NEED VOLUNTEERS.          THE FACILITY WAS OPENED AFTER THE DANVILLE SUITES HOTEL WAS CONDEMNED LAST MONTH. IT CURRENTLY HOUSES 32 PEOPLE... RANGING IN AGE FROM 6 MONTHS TO 68 YEARS OLD.          ORGANIZERS SAY VOLUNTEERS ONLY NEED TO COVER SHORT SHIFTS TO MAINTAIN THE SHELTER'S REQUIRED 24/7 STAFFING REGULATIONS.
