District officials praised the recipients for their dedication, kindness and commitment to supporting students, staff and families throughout the district.

The Sweet Impact Awards celebrate staff members who positively influence the school environment and help make Daniel Boone a supportive and welcoming place for students to learn and grow.

Road improvement work is continuing in Amity Township as paving operations move into the next phase of the project.

Township officials announced that paving in the Greenbriar and West Ridge neighborhoods has been completed. Crews are scheduled to resume work in Amity Gardens on May 13, with paving planned for Mimosa, Ridge, Firethorn and Bramblewood roads.

Officials expect paving work and equipment removal in those areas to be completed by Friday afternoon, weather permitting.

Residents are encouraged to remain aware of construction activity and temporary traffic impacts while crews finish the project.

Pennsylvania drivers should be aware of a major traffic law update set to take effect on June 6, 2026, as law enforcement agencies begin enforcing Paul Miller’s Law regarding cellphone use while driving.

Under the new law, it will become a primary offense for drivers to hold, touch or use a handheld phone while operating a vehicle, even when stopped at red lights or sitting in traffic. Because it is classified as a primary offense, police officers can stop drivers solely for violating the cellphone restriction.

Violators may face a $50 fine plus court costs, bringing the total penalty to approximately $198.50.

Officials say the law is designed to reduce distracted driving and improve roadway safety across Pennsylvania by encouraging drivers to remain focused behind the wheel.

Jeep enthusiasts and wine lovers are invited to gather at Manatawny Creek Winery for Wheels & Wine: Barricade Go Topless Day, a community-focused Jeep event supporting mental health awareness and suicide prevention efforts.

Hosted by Wheels for Another Day Inc., the Jeep-only Show & Shine will take place on May 16, 2026, at the winery’s vineyard location near Reading. The event will feature custom Jeep builds ranging from mild to extreme, along with specialty awards, People’s Choice voting, vendors, food, wine and live entertainment.

Organizers say the event is designed to bring together Jeep owners, families and supporters while raising awareness for the American Legion’s “Be the One” initiative, which focuses on mental health and suicide prevention outreach.

Event registration options include:

The winery tasting room opens at noon, with Jeep judging beginning at 4 p.m. and awards presented at 5 p.m. Spectators are welcome to attend free of charge.
