Judge to pick Sunbury City Council appointment
SUNBURY — Who will become the newest Sunbury City Council member is officially in the hands of Northumberland County Judge Paige Rosini. City officials petitioned the court to select a member of the public to serve until January, following deadlocked voting on an appointment Monday. The four current council members voted 2-2 on candidates Victoria Rosancrans and Andrew Ramos, who both applied for the open seat. Rosancrans and Ramos were also joined by James Brumbach, Andres Manresa and former Treasurer Kevin Troup in the list of applicants looking to fill a vacant seat until January. The seat was left open when former Sunbury Councilwoman Lisa Martina resigned last month. Martina was appointed to fill the city treasurer seat after Troup resigned his position in May. Martina ran for the position and won in May. She is the only candidate on the ballot this fall. Solicitor Joel Wiest filed the petition Thursday and listed the names of all five candidates, but by law, Rosini can pick one of them or none of them. The judge can order city officials to once again try to fill the seat on their own, or she can name a person of her choice to fill the seat. Rosini can decide on the seat when she deems fit. Council members Jim Eister, Nate Savidge, John Barnhart, and Mayor Josh Brosious conducted a public interview of all five candidates before voting. Brosious asked Ramos, who he defeated in May for the mayor's spot, Manresa and Rosancrans about previous elections they ran in and were defeated. The mayor asked why council should appoint them when the public didn't elect them. Rosancrans, who was defeated in two previous attempts at council, once by nine votes, said she was not concerned with the previous elections and is a resident of Sunbury who loves her city and will continue to try to improve the lives of all residents. Ramos agreed and said he also ran with a vision of improving Sunbury, and that vision has not changed just because he lost. Manresa, who also lost a previous bid for council, is currently the Democratic Party nominee in the race in November, when he squares off against Savidge and Troup for one of the two open seats. The seat that was to be filled Monday night will also be on the ballot in a secondary election that would be for a two-year term to finish out Martina's seat. Rosancrans was named the Democratic nominee for the ballot, while the Republican Party has yet to name a candidate. Councilman John Barnhart nominated Rosancrans for the temporary seat and a vote was taken. Eister and Savidge voted no, while Barnhart and Brosious voted in favor, but the motion failed. Eister then nominated Ramos and another vote was taken. Eister and Savidge voted in favor of Ramos, while Barnhart and Brosious voted no. Council meets again July 28 inside City Hall, on Market Street, in Sunbury. Solve the daily Crossword

Jadon Sancho's agent 'holds Juventus talks in Turin to break £5m deadlock with Man United' - with Red Devils outcast 'determined to seal cut-price move'
Jadon Sancho 's agent has reportedly arrived in Turin as he attempts to break a deadlock between Man United and Juventus over the winger's transfer. Sancho is one of a five-man Man United 'bomb squad', who have been told to come in for training at Carrington once Ruben Amorim and the rest of the squad have left. The five also includes Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia. Juventus have been pushing to sign Sancho this summer, after Chelsea paid a £5m penalty rather than turn his Stamford Bridge loan into a £25m permanent move. According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, Man United are open to accepting an offer of around £15million from the Old Lady to get Sancho off their books this summer. It would represent a major loss from the £73m paid by Man United to sign Sancho from Borussia Dortmund back in 2021. Despite reported progress over a deal, Tuttosport reported that Sancho's agent Emeka Obasi arrived in Turin on Wednesday in a bid to smooth over a lingering issue between the two clubs in the negotiations. A severance payment of around £5million is reportedly being demanded by Sancho from Man United, which would compensate for the winger reducing his £275,000-a-week wages to complete the move. Man United are said to view the demand to be too high and are seeking an agreement with Juventus to split the fee. Obasi was claimed to have arrived to inform Juventus about Man United's position, with the agent attempting to help the clubs find a compromise to help the deal progress. Sancho had been targeted by Juventus last summer, before he made his season-long loan move to Chelsea. The 25-year-old is reportedly determined to complete a move to the Italian giants this summer, with claims he is rebuffing attempts from Fenerbache to join the Turkish club. Sancho has not played for Man United in the Premier League since an explosive falling-up with then manager Erik ten Hag. The winger has since had loan spells away at Dortmund and Chelsea, but a permanent deal has yet to be struck. Sancho scored five goals and delivered 10 assists across 42 appearances for Chelsea last season, including netting in their Conference League final win. The Blues, however, ultimately paid a penalty fee to send him back to Man United, where he has one year left to run on his contract with the option to extend for a further season. Despite Sancho being loaned out under Ten Hag, there appears no way back under Amorim's management after being told to train away from the first team.
