Constable Elected Worshipful Master

Dean A Constable, of Bangor, has been elected as Worshipful Master of Portland Lodge #311, F&AM, during the Lodge’s annual election meeting held on December 12.
As the elected head of the lodge, he will preside during all of 2020, the lodge’s 164th year of organization. He succeeds Bradley R. Johnson, of Effort, who installed him in office. Constable is a 1991 graduate of Bangor Area High School and a 1995 graduate of Penn State University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. He is currently the Operations Manager of the Easton Line Department of Met-Ed. The son of James and Nancy Constable of Bangor, Dean and his wife Krista are the parents of two sons: Andrew, also a member of Portland Lodge, and Colby.
A recipient of Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania’s Master Builder Award, given to outstanding Freemasons during their first year of membership, Constable has furthered his Masonic education by becoming a member of Ezra Royal Arch Chapter #216 in Bethlehem.
Outside of Masonry, Constable is an active volunteer fireman with the Liberty Fire Company in Bangor. In his spare time he enjoys boating, hunting and snowmobiling with family and friends.
Elected as Senior Warden was Michael R. Jones, of Bangor, with John H. Rigione, of Bangor, being elected as Junior Warden. Walter C. Emery, of Portland, and Stephen M. Ahner, of Bangor, were re-elected as Treasurer and Secretary respectfully. Re-elected as Trustees were: John M. Bach of Mt. Bethel, and Jody C. Pysher and Craig Hughes of Bangor. Carl J. Palmeri, II, of Roseto, was re-elected as Representative to the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, with Gilbert F. Walter, of Stroudsburg, re-elected as Substitute Representative.
Portland Lodge takes an active part in the Slate Belt community, sponsoring the annual Masonic Motorama at the Plainfield Farmers Grove, as well as the Slate Belt Toys for Tots event, held annually at the Plainfield Township Fire Hall. The lodge also continues its tradition of remembering the widows of deceased members with poinsettias each Christmas season. In addition, the lodge presents scholarship awards to graduating seniors at Bangor Area High School. Not surprisingly, Freemasonry has been called “the world’s greatest philanthropy” for its contributions to charitable causes.

In recognition of National Tax Security Awareness Week, the state Department of Revenue outlined several tips to help protect yourself from identity thieves:

Shop at websites where the web address begins “https” – the “s” is for secure communications.
• Don’t shop on unsecured public Wi-Fi in malls or hotels, where thieves can tap in.
• Secure your home Wi-Fi with a password.
• Use security software for computers and mobile phones; keep it updated.
• Protect your personal information; don’t hand it out to just anyone.
• Use strong and unique passwords for your accounts.
• Use two-factor authentication whenever possible.
• Back up your files on computers and mobile phones.

You should also be on the lookout for “phishing” scams in your email. Identity thieves sometimes pose as companies or government agencies you know, such as the IRS or state Department of Revenue. Other phishing emails may tell an urgent story to trick you into opening a link or attachment that ultimately adds a virus or spyware onto your computer.
Finally, the IRS or Department of Revenue will never call to demand a tax payment on a gift card.
If you are a victim of identity theft or discover a fraudulent Pennsylvania personal income tax return was filed using your identity, please contact the Department of Revenue’s Fraud Detection and Analysis Unit at 717-772-9297 or RA-RVPITFRAUD@pa.gov.

Help Track Bald Eagle Population

While bald eagles are no longer listed as a threatened species in Pennsylvania, they are still protected by the U.S. Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, which prohibits taking of the birds, nests or eggs. If you spot a bald eagle nest, please use proper etiquette to avoid disturbing the birds.

Protection From Melting Snow
Check your property for obstructions. Is there anything that might prevent melting snow from draining? Now's the time to move it out of the way.
Clear snow and debris from roof gutters so water can drain away. This can be dangerous, so make an honest assessment of how comfortable you are with home improvement projects before you ascend any ladders. Hire a handyman or contractor if you’re not up to the task. First time hiring someone to help? Read this list of tips for hiring a contractor.

Related: 5 Common Problems Caused by Clogged Gutters
Check downspouts and sump pumps. They should all drain away from the house.
Grab your shovel. Shovel any excess snow away from downspouts, basement window wells and stairwells.
Related: Are you shoveling snow the wrong way? Find out.
Check the roof. Carefully brush heavy accumulations of snow and ice dams off the roof to avoid cave-ins.
Hit the street. Clear your street storm sewer of debris and snow.
Check outside pipes for leaks and damage.
Pay attention to the forecast. You’ll want to know if there’s a flood warning. It also helps to know if rain is in the forecast – it often makes snow melt more quickly.

If you do incur damage inside your home because of melting snow, it’s important to take quick action. Dry any wet building materials or items like carpeting, furniture, insulation and drywall to avoid mold, mildew and further damage.
Then consider talking with an insurance professional like an Erie Insurance Agent. He or she can tell you about affordable coverage options for water damage.

Attention dog owners! As you look to license your dog for the 2020 calendar year, watch out for a fraudulent website selling licenses online.
The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture issued the warning after identifying www.padoglicense.online as selling fake Pennsylvania dog licenses and even paying search engines to appear at the top of search results pages for common terms, like “Pennsylvania dog license” or “renew PA dog license.”
If you’d like to purchase a license online, type www.licenseyourdogpa.pa.gov directly into your browser’s address bar.
You may also purchase your license from the county treasurer. Each county treasurer has a different process, and while most offer an online option, some do not and require a paper form to be dropped off or mailed.
