We are pleased to begin a series of weekly updates to all of those who have expressed an interest in the inaugural "Eliot Ness Fest: Touched by the Untouchable" to be held Friday through Sunday, July 20-22, in Coudersport, Pa.

As most of you know, this annual festival celebrates the life and career of the famous lawman, who spent the final two years of his life in Coudersport. It is designed to both entertain and educate the public, while spotlighting the law enforcement community, reliving the Roaring '20s with captivating activities and attractions, and drawing visitors to Potter County to join in on the fun.

Each week, we will issue updates on the schedule of events and volunteer opportunities (of which there are many). We will also spotlight many of the featured events to assist you in choosing how you would like to spend your time at the Eliot Ness Fest. We've begun this process by activating an "Eliot Ness Fest" site on the Facebook social media platform and will soon be launching a website to share festival details; links to interesting sites related to Eliot Ness, Al Capone and related topics; online ticket ordering, and many more features. www.facebook.com/eliotnessfest

Eliot Ness Fest is being organized by many individuals and groups under the direction of Co-chairs: David Castano, President, Potter County Historical Society; Bill Pekarski, writer and Ness Historian; and Jennifer Rossman, Community Development Director, Potter County.

We are encouraging businesses that are planning events in their establishments for the weekend to submit activities to highlight on the schedule. Advertising, sponsorship, and vendor opportunities will soon be released.

Roulette Library To Sponsor "Roulette Gas Boom" At Riverside Church

If you’ve ever been interested in the early gas boom history around Roulette, Potter

County, here is your opportunity to learn first hand. Sponsored by the Roulette

Township Library, this event is free and open to the public.


“The early Indians who ventured forth into the vast wilderness of what is today Potter County had no concept of the powerful forces trapped undisturbed below their moccasined feet. Their oral traditions spoke of deep rumblings from restless spirits hidden beneath the mountain and and ghostly forms that shimmered and rose from the forest floor in silence.

RECALLS

BD Updates Instructions for Use for Certain BD Vacutainer® Blood Collection Tubes
BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX), a leading global medical technology company, today announced it is updating the instructions for use of certain BD Vacutainer® tubes as part of its quality process to ensure that customers understand the appropriate uses of these products.

Since BD became aware of the concerns about inaccurate lead test results from Magellan Diagnostics LeadCare® Testing Systems, the company has been cooperating fully with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). BD launched an internal investigation and determined that Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) technology, which is used in Magellan LeadCare testing systems, is not compatible with thiuram, a material found in the rubber stoppers of the BD Vacutainer® EDTA Lavender, Pink and Tan top tubes and BD Vacutainer® Lithium Heparin Green top tubes. Thiuram has been in these rubber stoppers since 1996, however, the effect of thiuram on lead testing when used with ASV technology was only recently observed through the course of this investigation.

PDX Aromatics Issues Second Expanded Recall of Kratom Products Because of Possible Health Risk
PDX Aromatics, DBA Kraken Kratom, Phytoextractum, and Soul Speciosa, is again expanding the scope of their 3/9/2018 and 3/15/2018 voluntary recalls to include certain red vein and green vein kratom powder and capsule products because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. The second expanded recall is being initiated in response to additional positive findings of Salmonella associated with PDX Aromatics’ products following the FDA’s investigation.

To date the company is aware of four confirmed cases of Salmonella associated with consumption of red and white vein products.

Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Potter County Commissioners Doug Morley, Susan Kefover and Paul Heimel approved a proposal by Planning Director Will Hunt to provide the class. 

It’s part of a broader effort to develop a stronger county/municipality partnership in Potter County, and to equip local leaders with knowledge and skills required to do their jobs effectively. 

Officials from Potter, Tioga and Elk counties participated. Instructors were provided by the Pa. State Assn. of Boroughs. Among topics to covered were: Meeting Procedures, Sunshine Law, Managing Public Comment, Committees and Boards, Ordinances and Resolutions, Bidding Requirements, Fire and Police Management, Personnel Management, Municipal Budgeting, Taxation Requirements, Basic Planning and Zoning, Risk Management, Public Works and Code Administration.

Capitol Update By Rep. Martin Causer

Capitol Update Friday, March 23, 2018 The latest news from the State Capitol                            Great Turnout, Discussion at Farmer Breakfast Thank you to everyone who came out to our Farmer Breakfast this week in Ulysses. Nearly 100 farmers and others in the industry were on hand for an update about ag-related issues we are working on in Harrisburg, as well as a question-and-answer session with Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. The challenges facing the state’s dairy farmers was a primary topic of discussion, along with permitting issues with the Department of Environmental Protection and progress of a new law to boost agriculture education in our schools. The diversity of the industry was well represented, with dairy farmers, from both large operations and small; livestock farmers, including a veal farmer; crop farmers, including a potato grower; local FFA students; and more. I appreciate everyone who took time out of their day to attend, and especially Secretary Redding who traveled from Harrisburg to join us. An extra special thank you to Larry and Phyllis Hamilton of Hamilton’s Maple Products for welcoming us and serving a delicious breakfast, and to Penn Ag Industries, which hosted the event. It was especially nice to have officers from Headwaters FFA at the Farmer Breakfast this week. Pictured, from left, are Wyatt Kosa, secretary; Trevor Frey, president; Lynn Bartas, parliamentarian; and Clifton Erway, chaplain. We are joined in the photo by Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding.                            Conventional Oil and Gas Legislation Introduced This Week In an ongoing effort to support the thousands of people employed by the conventional oil and gas industry here, I introduced legislation this week to ensure fair and reasonable oversight of the industry. The bill comes as a follow-up to the years-long fight to stop the state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) from applying regulations necessary to address unconventional, deep-well drilling in the Marcellus Shale to the very different process of conventional, shallow well drilling. Those changes threatened to drive many conventional operations out of business. House Bill 2154 would re-enact an updated version of the Oil and Gas Act, which had governed the industry until the Marcellus Shale boom and proliferation of advanced drilling methods prompted development and passage of new regulations included in Act 13 of 2012. A similar proposal, Senate Bill 1088, was also introduced this week. The legislation was developed in large part by members of the Penn Grade Crude Advisory Council, of which I am a member, which was created by Act 52 of 2016 to advise and assist DEP with regulatory changes impacting the conventional industry. It has bipartisan support. The conventional oil and gas industry is a vital contributor, not only to our local economy but to our statewide economy as well. The goal of this legislation is to ensure fair regulation of the industry that will effectively protect the environment while also protecting this valuable industry and the jobs it provides.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will again host a Mentored Youth Trout Day to help future generations develop an appreciation for fishing. On Saturday, April 7, beginning at 8 a.m., participants can fish in any PFBC-stocked trout water. Kids can keep two trout, which must measure at least seven inches. Because the program is focused on kids, adult mentors are encouraged to fish with the children and provide encouragement and tips, but they must release their catch to the water unharmed. To participate, adult anglers (16 years or older) must have a valid fishing license and trout/salmon permit and be accompanied by a youth. Youth anglers must obtain a free PFBC-issued permit, or a voluntary $1 youth fishing license. Both are available at www.GoneFishingPA.com or at any of the more than 900 licensing agents across the state. Last year, more than 30,000 people participated in Mentored Youth Trout Days. The statewide opening day for trout fishing is Saturday, April 14.                              New License Plate Honors PA National Guard New license plates are now available to members of the Pennsylvania National Guard to honor their service. The new plates feature the standard Pennsylvania license plate colors of blue, white and yellow, along with a National Guard-approved emblem. This plate may only be used on passenger vehicles and trucks with a registered, maximum gross weight of 14,000 pounds. Members of the National Guard interested in applying for one of these plates must complete Form MV-150AD, “Application for Members of U.S. Military Registration Plate.” The form requires the service member to certify his/her status as a member of the Pennsylvania National Guard. The addition of a registration plate recognizing members of the PA National Guard completes an assortment of plates available to Pennsylvania residents with ties to all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Additional information and images of a variety of military license plates are available at www.dmv.pa.gov. The fee for the plate is $21.                              Reminder: Join Me for a Firearms Safety and Rights Seminar in Shinglehouse Join me for a discussion about Pennsylvania’s concealed carry laws, the Castle Doctrine and other valuable information regarding state gun laws at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 26, at the Shinglehouse Volunteer Fire Department, 121 S.
