Pennsylvania Maple Syrup Producer’s Council
Good morning PA!
I think it’s time to introduce myself. My name is Riley Thompson and I am your newly crowned Pennsylvania State Maple Ambassador! I live on a small cattle farm in Potter County with my parents and our German Shepard, Zena.
I am a senior at Northern Potter High School where I am a member of the Headwaters FFA Chapter, serving as this years President. My main FFA project is beef production. I have shown steers at our local county fair since I was 8 years old and own roughly 10 breeding cows and heifers.
I am also apart of my high school basketball team and will soon be starting my senior season. This will be my eighth year playing with my team.
Maple has roots that run deep in my family and has become one of our most treasured traditions. This industry has a very special place in my heart and I am very excited to be representing all the wonderful maple producers from around the state!
Louis CHIOSI, Jr., 67, of Wellsville, NY
Louis CHIOSI, Jr., 67, of Wellsville, NY, died Sunday, November 20, 2022 in his home.
Born October 28, 1955, in Clifton, NJ, he was the son of Louis and Carmen Lydia Fernandez Chiosi.
He attended St. Louis School in Clarksville, MD through 8th grade, then on to Atholton High School in Howard County, MD. After graduation, he was in the US Air Force. While in the Air Force, he was stationed in Germany. Louis enjoyed the German culture and his time there.
He was self-employed through the years. Lou was a classical flamingo guitarist. He found great joy in raising Macaws. In the early 1990’s, he learned the truth about Jehovah God as the creator of the earth. With his strong Bible based hope, he focused on the full-time ministry to share the good news of God’s Kingdom with people. Eventually he served at the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society as a volunteer, there he worked in the welding shop. He loved the hard work and fellow comradery there and had great joy with his friends.
It was at this time he met his lifetime companion Margaret Meyer. They married on May 29, 1993. Over the years, they shared many joys and adventures in the land of the midnight sun, Fairbanks, Alaska. Eventually, they welcomed a precious daughter, Olivia, into their lives. She brought laughter, love, and congeniality. A short time later, they were blessed with a handsome little boy, Austin Louis. Austin was an exciting and nice edition to round out their family.
In 2019, the Chiosis packed up their most meaningful possession and headed to New York where they settled in Wellsville. In Wellsville, Lou found a charming community full of pleasant people and dear friends. He loved the local congregation. On July 1, 2021, Lou once again entered the ranks of a full-time minister. He was able to reach out to many at that time. Also, this new responsibility brought him great blessings. He now was part of what he affectionately called the “gang” a congenial happy group of fellow volunteers. This was an exciting, new chapter in Lou’s life. This brought great happiness and satisfaction despite extreme health issues, he was able to work hard and help others. He was blessed with great joy as a result.
Surviving, in addition to his wife, are: two children, Austin Chiosi and Olivia Chiosi; four siblings, Joseph Chiosi, Christine Chiosi, Kenny Chiosi, and Michael Chiosi; nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents.
A memorial service will be held 3:00 PM, Saturday, November 26, 2022 in the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Hinsdale, NY. Jack Cairns will preside.

DEP Assesses Penalties to CNX for Violations in Greene County
Pittsburgh, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announced that CNX Gas Company LLC (CNX) has paid two civil penalty assessments totaling $200,000 for violations at well sites in Richhill Township, Greene County.
On September 18, 2019, approximately 40 barrels, or 1,680 gallons, of production fluid breached secondary containment and discharged onto the ground at CNX’s RHL 71 and RHL 87 well site. CNX attempted to make repairs to the containment, removed any fluids it had access to, and established a plan to monitor for offsite impacts. However, CNX postponed full remediation nearly 70 days due to its ongoing hydraulic fracturing activities. Remediation included removal of spilled fluids and nearly 1,400 tons of contaminated soil underneath the containment and hydraulic fracturing equipment.
On January 23, 2021, approximately 10 barrels, or 420 gallons, of production fluid discharged onto the ground due to an equipment failure. And on April 22, 2021, another equipment failure led to the discharge of 40 gallons of production fluid onto the ground. By March 18, 2021, CNX had removed standing fluids and contaminated soil caused by the two incidents.
On December 2, 2019, approximately 30 gallons of production fluid breached secondary containment and flowed into a sediment basin during hydraulic fracturing operations at CNX’s RHL 4 well pad. CNX postponed removal of contaminated soil until hydraulic fracturing was completed, and the discharge continued for days. As of January 17, 2020, CNX had removed nearly 2,000 tons of contaminated soil from the site.
“Delays like these are unacceptable. DEP expects, and the regulations require, prompt reporting and cleanup of spills and that operators will take measures to prevent future incidents,” said DEP southwest district oil and gas manager Dan Counahan.
CNX violated state laws and regulations by failing to control and properly dispose of production fluids and by allowing unauthorized discharge of those fluids onto the ground and into waters of the commonwealth.
DEP assessed and CNX paid a $125,000 civil penalty assessment for violations at the RHL 71 and RHL 87 well site and a $75,000 civil penalty assessment for violations at the RHL 4 well pad site into the Well Plugging Fund.
