Since the pandemic began, there have been 630 COVID-19 cases and 14 deaths among residents of Potter County (chart above).
A recent U.S. Centers for Disease Control model has found that the actual number of COVID-19 infections in a locale could be as much as eight times higher than the detected cases. Details can be found here.
Also between Friday and Saturday, there were 70 more cases and two more deaths in McKean County; 19 more cases and three more deaths in Tioga; 118 cases and three deaths in Lycoming; 2 more cases in Cameron; 31 cases and another death in Elk; 42 more a death in Clinton; 45 cases and two deaths in Cattaraugus County, N.Y.; and 28 more cases and one more death Allegany County.

Potter County Approves Economic Development Incentive
Potter County Today
January 1st, 2021
Potter County Commissioners Nancy Grupp, Barry Hayman and Paul Heimel put the stamp of approval on a measure designed to create jobs and support economic development during their year-end meeting on Wednesday.
A new ordinance creates tax incentives for construction or expansion of commercial properties. They could qualify for a temporary reduction of county real estate taxes. Under the county’s ordinance, qualifying property owners would receive a 100-percent tax abatement in year one, 80 percent in year two, 60 percent in year three, 40 percent in year four, and 20 percent in year five.
A 1977 state law, the Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance (LERTA) Act, authorizes the tax incentive program to support business expansion and job retention/creation. The ordinance applies only to the county portion of real estate taxes. However, school districts, boroughs and townships could also implement a LERTA.
During a public hearing, Potter County Education Council Business and Education Liaison Bob Wicker expressed support for offering the tax incentives, citing the negative impact of the county’s steady population loss and economic recession on school districts and communities countywide.
Potter County Community Development Director Ellen Russell said she believed the LERTA tax incentives would complement her office’s efforts to support businesses in the county.
The commissioners also received a letter of support from the North Central Penn Board of Realtors.
To obtain a copy of the ordinance, call 814-274-8290, ext. 207.

HOWARD NURSERY SEEDLING SALE TO RETURN IN 2021
Seedlings that would have been dug up and shipped out last spring were left to grow another year after the 2020’s seedling sale was canceled. In some cases, that means the nursery will be offering larger, more-resilient seedlings in this year’s sale with a wide variety of seedlings available – 20 species in all.
The 2021 seedling order form will be available online with sales to begin Monday, Jan. 4.
Among this year’s offerings are red mulberry, North America’s only native mulberry tree, which grows to mature heights between 30 and 50 feet; Eastern red cedar, which also is known as juniper and produces a berry-like cone used by many birds; and Northern bayberry, a hardy shrub that can reach 15-foot heights and is an important winter food source for grouse and other birds.
There are a variety of oaks, pines, spruces and other deciduous and evergreen trees, and a host of shrubs also available for sale, some of them in impressive numbers. For instance, the nursery presently has twelve 4-foot-wide, 440-foot-long beds of red oak seedlings – a linear mile of red oak – awaiting to be sold, shipped and transplanted, said Brian Stone, manager at Howard Nursery.
“There’s more of a variety of species because the seedlings stayed in the ground last year so a few of the seedlings have grown bigger than in previous years and are of exceptional quality,” Stone said. “So, we’re very excited to get the 2021 sale underway, and later this spring get seedlings out to properties statewide to improve habitat and help Pennsylvania’s wildlife.”
The Howard Nursery grows tree and shrub seedlings for use on state game lands and Hunter Access properties, as well as for the Seedlings for Schools program and the Game Commission’s conservation partners.
Any remaining surplus is available to Pennsylvania residents for purchase. Seedlings are sold in units of 25.
Most orders of 12 or more total units qualify for applicable discounted pricing. With the discount, prices are as low as $5.50 per unit. Regular price ranges from $7.50 to $9.50, depending upon the seedling species.
In the 2021 sale, red mulberry is the only seedling for which a discount isn’t offered because it’s available in limited numbers only.
Stone said those who are interested in placing an order should call Howard Nursery at 814-355-4434
once the sale begins. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday from
7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Orders can be placed by FAX as well at 814-355-8094
ROLFE BEAGLE CLUB OFFERS TWO WEEKENDS FOR ITS STATEWIDE WINTER PREDATOR HUNT/TRAP IN FEBRUARY 2021
Johnsonburg, Pa. – The Rolfe Beagle Club announces that this year’s statewide coyote and fox hunt or trap will take place on two weekends in February. Jim Pennington, President, states “Many hunting seasons have wound down, and we wanted to give our hunters as much opportunity as possible to enjoy predator hunting in PA.

The lone exception is that the largest coyote and fox will receive an additional 10%. 100% of the largest female registration fees will go to the lucky hunter with the heaviest female coyote or fox that registered in those categories. The deadline for registration is Thursday, 2/11.
The Rolfe Beagle Club is located at 1016 Long Level Road, Johnsonburg, PA 15845 for hunters mailing in their registration, or you can drop off your registration at the clubhouse on any Sunday morning.

PA Rep. Mike Aramini Reports From the Capitol
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pennsylvania's volunteer and career fire companies, emergency medical services and rescue squads have until Monday, Jan. 25, at 4 p.m. to apply for the latest round of grants offered by the Office of State Fire Commissioner. The maximum grant amount is $15,000 for fire companies and $10,000 for volunteer ambulance services. Thanks to Act 91 of 2020, fire companies which receive grants may now bank that money for up to five years rather than "use it or lose it" in a 12-month period, which was the policy prior to the measure. This makes it easier to plan for larger projects and purchases such as building construction or acquisition of apparatus.

Senator Bob Casey Details Second Round of Economic Impact Payments
Dear James,
You likely have heard that a second round of Economic
Impact Payments (EIPs) has been approved. I understand that many
constituents have a number of questions.
The
IRS started to distribute the second EIPs on December 29. Direct
deposit payments should be deposited within the next two weeks.
Distribution of paper checks began on Wednesday, December 30, and should
continue through the end of January. If you received an initial EIP, no
additional action is required to receive this second payment.
The
income criteria for the second round of payments is the same as the
first. If you are a U.S. citizen or permanent resident making under
$75,000 a year (single) or $150,000 a year (married filing jointly) and
are not claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax returns, you likely
will qualify for the full $600 payment ($1,200 married couples).
Families with qualifying children will also receive $600 for each
dependent under age 17. Eligible individuals do not need to take any action to receive the EIP.
In
addition to checks and direct deposits, Treasury will also be sending a
limited number of payments out by debit card. The Economic Impact
Payment debit card will be sent in a white envelope that prominently
displays the U.S. Department of the Treasury seal. It has the Visa name
on the front of the card and the issuing bank, MetaBank®, N.A.
If
you did not receive one or both EIPs, but believe you are eligible, you
will be able to claim the equivalent "Recovery Rebate Credit" when you
file your 2020 federal income tax return.
You can learn more about the second round of EIPs on the IRS website. My staff is also happy to help answer questions or provide assistance, and can be reached through my website or at 866-461-9159.
While
I am glad that some measure of relief is finally reaching
Pennsylvanians, it is nowhere near enough. Please know that I will
continue to fight in the new Congress to ensure that those who are
struggling receive the additional economic support they need and
deserve.
Sincerely,
Austin Fire & EMS Has A busy New Year's Eve/Day
Austin Volunteer Fire Department
New Years Eve started at 07:18 with a Medical Emergency in Portage Township.
