Bradford Era — A power outage left residents of Mount Jewett, Hazel Hurst and Lantz Corners in the dark on Thursday afternoon.

Mount Jewett borough councilman Brett Morgan spoke to The Era from the Mount Jewett fire hall, and said that the whole borough is without power. Morgan said that he was at home at the time of the outage, saying that he lost power at approximately 12:15 p.m. Calls to the Mount Jewett borough building and the Mount Jewett Police Department were not answered, which is assumed due to the power outage. Hamlin Township secretary Nicole Causer also verified that the Hamlin Township building lost power as well at approximately the same time as Mount Jewett.  Read More
