Seminar: Understanding Drinking Water Reports TOWANDA - Rep. Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna) encourages local residents to learn more about interpreting drilling water reports at two local seminars being presented by the Penn State Cooperative Extension in Towanda and Dimock. "The quality of our water supplies is of critical importance to everyone who is affected by drilling in the Marcellus Shale formation, and the reports generated on our water quality will provide property owners with essential information," Pickett said. "However, the highly technical information contained in the water quality reports can sometimes be difficult to interpret, even for the most knowledgeable scientists. That is why these two seminars are being held, and I am grateful to the Penn State Cooperative Extension and its partners for their public outreach efforts to ensure these reports are easily understood." Participants will learn how to understand the complicated water pre- and post-test reports, as well as drinking water standards, chain-of-custody, various water test parameters, and comparing test results with standards. Bryan Swistock, Penn State water resource extension associate, and Mark Madden, Penn State Extension agent, will discuss the management of private water supplies and interpretation of test reports. The program is sponsored by the Penn State Master Well Owner Network with funding and support from Penn State Cooperative Extension, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and the Pennsylvania Ground Water Association. The two-hour seminars will be held for residents of Bradford and Susquehanna counties on the following dates: Thursday, Aug. 5, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Towanda Gun Club, Route 187 South, Towanda. Residents attending this seminar should call (570) 265-2896 to preregister. Wednesday, Aug. 11, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Elk Lake High School, 100 School House Rd., Dimock. Residents attending this seminar should preregister by calling (570) 278-1158. These seminars are for informational purposes only; no part of the presentation is to be considered legal advice. More information is available on Pickett's website at RepPickett.com. Eucharistic Adoration At Holy Name Of Mary On Friday, August 6, monthly Eucharistic Adoration will begin after the 12:10 p.m. mass and will conclude with mass at 7:00 p.m. A prayer service with the Men of the Sacred Heart and benediction will follow the evening mass.

The August Vesper Service will be held on Sunday, August 8, at 5:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Church Street, Montrose, PA.

Parish Feast Day At Christ Church Christ Church, Susquehanna, has announced its annual observance of the Solemnity of the Feast of the Transfiguration of our Savior Jesus Christ for Sunday, August 8 at 9:00 a.m. The Rev’d Randy Webster, priest at Christ Church, will officiate and preach. The Feast of the Transfiguration is the traditional “feast of title” or parish patronal feast day for parishes bearing the name “Christ Church,” and is one of three parish festivals that Christ Church observes, the other two being Corpus Christi and the Feast of Christ the King. Christ Church is a welcoming and affirming church in the Anglican tradition, and is located at 1107 West Main Street in Susquehanna. It’s only one day, but it’s the day that many Susquehanna County residents, companies, churches, labor and civic organizations will be coming together to make a difference in our community! You, too, can make a difference by volunteering during the first United Way Day of Caring on Saturday, September 11. Involvement in Day of Caring will allow you to choose from a variety of projects at local non-profits. These projects can range from construction and repairs to landscaping and much more. This will be a wonderful way to demonstrate what people working together for the community’s good can accomplish. The United Way is committed to promoting the spirit and value of volunteerism and making a positive, lasting impact on the communities it serves. For more information about United Way or to sign up for the Day of Caring, please call (570) 465-3868 or visit www.UnitedWayOfSusquehannaCounty.org.
