It was a bright, sunny day at the Octagon Barn, a nearly 200-year old barn in Dimock repurposed some 2 years ago as a modern “events venue” in Dimock, a perfect setting to celebrate the 2026 Susquehanna County Distinguished Citizen awards, this year given to Tom Follert and Tammy Bonnice on April 18th. The awards are given by the Delahanna District of the Baden-Powell Council of Scouting America (the Boy Scouts). These were the 37th awards, a tradition going back to 1988.
Once the postponed monthly meeting was opened on April 15, 2026 Council President Susan Crawford introduced the new Borough Secretary/Treasurer Mel Parraga. She also took a few minutes to recognize previous Secretary/Treasurer Ann Stewart who resigned to fill the Tax Collector position. Keeping tears in check, she thanked Ms. Stewart for her years of service and hoped she knew how grateful she was and how much she is going to miss her. Mayor Dennis Gow Jr. also thanked Ms. Stewart saying she was a great help to him when he started in his position.
