Is Penman subscribing to the Dr. Bowers mindset from, “OP-ED: Long past time for Dr. Bowers to resign as WASD Superintendent”:Dr. Bowers has already provided the mechanism for his resignation, IN HIS OWN WORDS.
Bowers supplements his response to Jane Penman:
“In my opinion our actions are more impotent (important) than our words.”
That quote came from the text message records of Dr. Timothy Bowers on Thursday, June 11, 2020, either 6:03 PM or 8:03 PM between WASD school board members Jane Penman and Lori Baer as noted in “The anatomy of the WASD Anti-Racism Board Resolution” – PART I.
Incumbents Reeves and Welteroth are joined in cross filing for both parties by Blank, Derr, Sanders and Thomas.
WASD school board member Nancy Somers and husband William have undertaken a multiple years long process to build a home in Loyalsock Township.
According to Lycoming County property records, the first lot was acquired on May 20, 2019 for $95,000 from a local doctor.
The second lot was acquired on February 22, 2020 for $86,500 from the same local doctor.

Construction began earlier this year and the pandemic stalled the process, if not for the pandemic the Somers’ could have actually occupied the home.
At the current stage of construction all indications are the Somers could occupy the home by as early as the end of the year.
Was Nancy Somers going to inform the taxpayers who elected her of her possible intentions to move out of the WASD; at the same time she votes to keep students in a hybrid model?
If the science Somers cites, dictating children cannot be in school with in-person learning; how are construction workers feverishly putting the final touches on her new home, in a different school district?
According to city-data.com the estimated median house or condo value in 2017: $128,906 (it was $67,900 in 2000).
Nancy Somers also failed to second the motion made by Adam Welteroth regarding an independent third party investigation into the 2018 WAHS baseball team trip to Myrtle Beach where “criminal sexual misconduct” was committed by a WAHS baseball player.
Back to Barbara Reeves, “I will not be pressured by anyone or put in a position to be punished for my vote.”
Her statement was made by WASD school board member Barbara Reeves in the most recent WASD school board meeting when she was challenged on her “no” vote to return to 5-day per week in-person learning.
Barbara Reeves WASD school board member and wife of Pastor Marwyn Reeves sat silent when fellow board member Adam Welteroth made a motion to explore an independent third-party investigation into the WASD response to the 2018 WAHS baseball team trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Is Pastor Marwyn Reeves now a spokesperson for the WASD or at a very minimum his wife Barbara?
Talkwilliamsport.com has confirmed Pastor Marwyn Reeves and wife Barbara reside in the same neighborhood as WAHS head principal Brandon Pardoe, former WASD administrator Randy Zangara and Lycoming County detective Willie Weber.
According to Lycoming County property records, the Reeves family home was purchased in 2004.
In fact, the address obtained by Talkwilliamsport.com makes it next door neighbors with a WASD administrator listed above.
If the enmeshment of the relationships on the WASD school board could not be any closer; according to Lycoming County property records, the “Certificate of Residence” affirming the address of the “Grantee” (Reeves) was signed by…Fred Holland in his capacity as Attorney or Agent for Grantee on October 28, 2004.
