The Lovell Neighborhood Watch meeting held January 20th was very informative and entertaining. We covered general business. Incidents were way down for both Police and Sheriff's departments. We had a discussion and plans were made for our Elder Day which will be May 1. We can use help; contact me if you are interested. Deputy William Nelson did a fantastic demonstration on how to defend yourself. He was assisted by Sheriff Wayne Gallant, Sergeant Matt Baker and Lieutenant. Walter Grzyb. You missed some excellent information if you did not see this. Many members have changed emails and they are bouncing back, so talk to your friends, they may not be getting our emails. We need to hear from you if you change email addresses! We have not finalized all program topics for 2010 meetings. If you want some information on a certain subject, or have a program to offer the watch group, please let me know. This is the towns group open to all, and neighboring towns also, so please participate. We will see you at the next meeting February 17th. Most important… please report anything suspicious!!!

When you receive yours, just answer the 10 short questions and then mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you don't mail the form back, you may receive a visit from a census taker, who will ask you the questions from the form. A census taker must follow-up in person with every address that doesn't mail back the form in order to obtain the responses. The Census is Safe The 2010 Census will ask for name, gender, age, race, ethnicity, relationship, and whether you own or rent your home - just 10 simple questions that will take about 10 minutes to answer. The Census Bureau safeguards all census responses to the highest security standards available. Your answers are protected by law and are not shared with anyone. The census taker who collects your information is sworn for life to protect your data under Federal Law Title 13. Those who violate the oath face criminal penalties. Under federal law, the penalty for unlawful disclosure is a fine of up to $250,000 or imprisonment for up to 5 years, or both. When Census Takers will be Going Door-to-Door From April to July 2010, we will knock on the door of every household that does not mail back a completed 2010 Census form. It's critical that you take just 10 minutes to fill out and mail back your form rather than wait for a census worker to show up on your doorstep. About $85 million in taxpayer dollars are saved for every one percent increase in mail response. The Census Bureau must get a census form to - and a completed form back from - every residence in the United States . That's more than 130 million addresses. This is why the census is the largest domestic mobilization our nation undertakes. How to Identify a Census Taker If a U.S. Census Bureau employee knocks on your door, here are some recognition tips to assure the validity of the employee: The census taker must present an ID badge that contains a Department of Commerce watermark and expiration date. The census taker may also be carrying a bag with a Census Bureau logo. The census taker will provide you with supervisor contact information and/or the Local Census Office phone number for verification, if asked. The census taker will ONLY ask you the questions that appear on the census form. What the 2010 Census DOES NOT Ask 2010 Census takers will not ask you for your social security number, bank account number, or credit card number. 2010 Census takers also never solicit for donations and will never contact you by e-mail.
