Cameron Park to be cleaned with the help of Shikellamy JROTC program
Sunbury City Clerk Wojciechowski said at 9 a.m. April 23 students from the Shikellamy JROTC program will work with the city parks and recreation department to help clean Cameron Park and Front Street from the winter months.
Wojciechowski said Mayor Josh Brosious worked with the district to make sure the students were able to participate in the spring cleanup.
'The project is done yearly in conjunction with the mayor's office, department of public works, parks and recreation and the JROTC to help keep Cameron Park beautiful as the centerpiece of our city,' he said.
'We thank all the volunteers for coming to help us.'
Councilman Jim Eister, who oversees parks and recreation, said the students and city employees all work together and get the job done.
'They all do such a great job every year,' he said. 'We look forward to getting the park clean for the summer months and we thank the JROTC program and everyone who always wants to come out and help us make sure we keep our city clean and the downtown looking beautiful.'

Kansas City celebrates new outdoor pool at Tony Aguirre Community Center
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City's Westside celebrated a new $4.3 million neighborhood upgrade Monday afternoon – an outdoor pool and water area. Many people were in attendance Monday to celebrate the opening of the new outdoor pool, as a place not only to cool off, but to connect. Family members of the community center's namesake, Tony Aguirre, were also in attendance. Second person dies in Independence farmhouse fire that killed 13-year-old girl 'We are driving by every day, and the kids are like 'when does it open?,'' Monique Ortiz, a parent who lives nearby, shared with FOX4 Monday. 'We usually have to drive pretty far to go to a pool, so we don't have to do that anymore.' The city said it features a deep-water pool with a diving board, climbing wall, zero-entry pool, water slide and a waterplay structure. 'This project highlights the Parks Department's commitment to creating accessible and recreational spaces for our community,' the city said. The multi-million-dollar amenity was funded by GO (general obligation) bonds. 'Back in 2022, we were running around the city, and saying 'hey, there is this important question about parks on the ballot.'' Mayor Quinton Lucas shared Monday. 'The people of Kansas City, by a vote of 71 percent to 29 percent, voted yes for Parks—yes for our communities and yes for our kids.' Councilman Crispin Rea said Monday that this place will also provide an opportunity for many to learn life-saving skills, like swimming. 'We know what the drowning rates are for Black and brown kids in neighborhoods that don't have access to pools,' Rea shared. Aquatics Manager Donald Strother said the pool is replacing the Jarboe Pool that closed right before the COVID-19 pandemic. 'I hope they enjoy it,' he said. 'I hope they are able to say the city is able to deliver on some of their asks of the citizens, and we are here to fill voids.' The outdoor pool will be open from noon to 7 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults, $2 for those under the age of 18 and $3 for senior citizens. The Tony Aguirre Community Center is located at 2050 West Pennway. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Nimbus Fish Hatchery's visitor center, parking lot to be closed over summer
A popular Sacramento area recreation spot is set to have some closures over the summer. The Nimbus Fish Hatchery says its visitor center, parking lot and fish ponds will be shut down as of July 1. California Department of Fish and Wildlife officials say ongoing contract negotiations and work to update the facility's HVAC system are also among the reasons for the closure. Officials say they're working to reopen the facilities as soon as possible, but the California Department of Fish and Wildlife – who manages Nimbus – anticipates the closure to last until September 2025. Neither the hatchery operations nor the fish will be affected by the closure, officials say. The Nimbus Fish Hatchery is a popular field trip spot for Sacramento-area schools. Visitors are walked through Fish and Wildlife's efforts to breed and raise salmon. Runners and cyclists also rely on the Nimbus Fish Hatchery's parking lot to access the American River Trail.

Hempfield Township eyes fall opening for first phase of new municipal complex
After almost a year of work, phase one of the new 43-acre municipal complex in Hempfield Township is eyeing a fall opening for the public. Township leaders say that this municipal campus, which sits just off Route 30 and Mount Pleasant Road, will be the first of its kind for the area. Hempfield Township Manager Aaron Siko says that the work on phase one includes all the infrastructure of this area. Things like building water and sewer lines for restrooms, electrical work, and road construction. But he says, the phase one construction also includes a lot of the fun stuff, too. "A pavilion for rental, a yoga deck area, a cardio fitness area, a passive and active recreation area, including a nature-inspired playground, a splash pad that is for all ages, that's all encompassing," Siko said. The total cost of this project is over $15 million, and it is being paid for not through tax increases, but through bond measures. Plus, the township has received $3 million in grant money and private support. Phase one is set to be finished in September. Phase two, which includes a synthetic turf field, a natural grass soccer field, pickleball courts, and additional parking, is set to break ground next spring. The township hasn't set any official dates for the later phases. Those will include the construction of a new Hempfield community center, a public safety building that will house the Hempfield Fire Department, as well as a new public works building. Hempfield Township Supervisor Doug Weimer says that this is going to be a huge draw for the township and for local businesses once it is completed. "I think that the community has been very excited to see the progress," said Weimer. "With the fact that everyone travels by this property, there has been a lot of excitement and buzz in the community, and people just can't wait to get here." Once phase one is completed, the township says they are going to have a big celebration to open this place up.
