Brooklyn Days Fast Approaching The Brooklyn Historical Society will sponsor “Brooklyn Days” as a major contribution to the 200th anniversary of Susquehanna County on Saturday, July 31. The Society will also honor the local heritage of Brooklyn Township with a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Brooklyn-Hop Bottom Road, the first paved road in Susquehanna County. Construction of a “Telford Road” began on July 26, 1910 under the supervision of W. C. Adams of Ambler, PA. Adams relied upon the work of two Scottish Engineers, John L. MacAdam (1756-1836) who invented the process of making roads with different sizes of stones, and Thomas Telford (1757-1834) who improved the process. The all-day event will include pony rides, yard sales, a painting exhibition by Carol Brown of Dimock, children’s games, antique car restorers from Wayne/Pike Counties, bicycle racers and refreshments. At 2:00 p.m. the annual meeting of the Historical Society will be held in the township building with the featured presentation “The Welsh Connection” by Attorney Dan Morgan, to honor the 100th anniversary of the Telford Road. The public is invited and there will be refreshments following the meeting. At 5:00 p.m. the Brooklyn School Alumni Dinner will be held in the church hall of the First Universalist Church. This will be a roast beef dinner provided by the women of the Universalist Church. Rev. Paul Gere will preside as toastmaster and present a program entitled “100 years of the Brooklyn School.” The program will include Olde Tyme Singing, and reports on the oldest and youngest graduates. Entertainment will include musical interludes with Paul Gere, Louise Demmer Lewis, and two grandsons of Homer and Doris Gere who play trumpet and trombone. Carlton Sterling, class of 1947, will bring fresh pecans from Georgia to top off the evening.

FSA Announces Crop Reporting Deadline Montrose - Jason Pontillo, County Executive Director for Susquehanna Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminded producers to submit their annual report of acreage for all crops, with the exception of fall seeded small grains (i.e. wheat, rye), to their FSA county office, by July 15. Farms where the acreage is not timely reported will be assessed a late-filing fee in order to retain program benefits. In addition, producers who participate in the Average Crop Revenue (ACRE) and Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) must annually report the previous year's crop production evidence no later than the crop acreage reporting date, July 15. Producers are required to file an accurate acreage report for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage and prevented planting acreage to maintain eligibility for a variety of FSA programs. Program benefits requiring acreage reports include: Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program (DCP) payments; Average Crop Revenue Program payments; Commodity Loans and Loan Deficiency Payments (LDP); Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Annual Rental Payments; Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) Annual Rental Payments; Farm Storage Facility Loans (FSFL); all Disaster Assistance Programs, including Supplement Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) - failed acreage must be reported within 15 days of the disaster event and before the disposition or destruction of the crop; Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) Payments. Producers are encouraged to visit their local FSA county office to file a certification report and crop production evidence before the deadline date. More information on FSA programs can be found at: www.fsa.usda.gov/pa. FSA Announces Nomination Deadline Montrose - Jason Pontillo, Executive Director for USDA’s Farm Service Agency in Susquehanna County reminded farmers, ranchers and other agricultural producers that they have until August 2 to nominate eligible candidates to serve on local FSA county committees. “County committees are important to Pennsylvania because they assist local farmers and ranchers,” said Pontillo. “They help deliver federal programs to Susquehanna County, which is an important aspect of our service to agriculture. I encourage all producers to get involved by nominating eligible candidates to serve on county committees.” To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area in which the person is a candidate. The local administrative area up for election in 2010 covers the townships of Rush, Auburn, Dimock, Springville, Lathrop and Brooklyn Townships. Producers may also nominate themselves, and organizations representing minority and women may also nominate candidates. To become a nominee, eligible individuals must sign form FSA-669A. The form and other valuable information about FSA county committee elections are available online at: http://www.fsa.usda.gov; click on News & Events, then County Committee Elections. Nomination forms for the 2010 election must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business on August 2. FSA county committee members make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs and other important agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms. Nationwide, there are more than 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees. Committees consist of three to five members who are elected by eligible local producers. FSA will mail ballots to producers beginning November 5. The voted ballots are due back to the local county office either via mail or in person by December 6. Newly elected committee members and alternates take office January 1, 2011. Between 2003 and 2006, the number of minority and women farmers and ranchers nominated as candidates to FSA county committees nationwide increased 35 percent. Additionally, the number of African American producers nominated as candidates tripled during the same period. Please call the Susquehanna County FSA Office at 570-278-1197 ext. 2 for further details.
Major To Host Seminars For Seniors MONTROSE - State Rep. Sandra Major (R-Susquehanna/Wayne/Wyoming) is joining efforts with the attorney general’s office to provide two free seminars for interested seniors on how best to protect themselves from becoming victims of identity theft. “Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the nation and senior citizens are often targeted,” said Major. “This seminar will make sure residents walk away armed with the information needed to better protect themselves from such a crime. I encourage area seniors to join us for a seminar that can help save you the money, good credit standing, time and aggravation that identity thieves often steal.” Joyce O’Brien from the Office of the Attorney General will provide information on the latest tricks used by crooks, how to protect good credit and what to do if someone’s identity is stolen. Two dates and locations are scheduled as follows: 12:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m., Wednesday, July 21, at Lanesboro Senior Center; and 10:45 a.m. to noon on Thursday, July 22, at Lenoxville Senior Center. Seating is limited, so please R.S.V.P. by July 16 to Major’s office at (570) 278-3374.
Pickett To Offer ID Theft Presentation TOWANDA - Local residents are encouraged to learn more about protecting themselves from identity theft by attending a free seminar hosted by Rep. Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna). The seminar will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 23, at the Towanda Elks Lodge, located at 929 Main St. "Unfortunately, identity thieves are quickly learning new ways to steal personal information, and that is why it is imperative to stay on top of all the ways these unscrupulous individuals can ruin a person's good name and credit," Pickett said. "Even if someone has been to similar information sessions in the past, I highly encourage anyone to take an hour of their time to attend this one." The seminar, which is being presented by the Office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General, is open to any resident interested in learning about the latest tricks used by scam artists, ways to protect their credit, and a plan of action if an identity is stolen. Those attending are encouraged to bring a friend or family member. Seating is limited, so please register by Friday, July 16, to Pickett's office at (570) 265-3124. If unable to attend the seminar, a link to the attorney general's identity theft tool kit is available at RepPickett.com.
