Police are looking for clues why the remains of a 29 year-old Binghamton woman were found in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The remains of Keisha Roman were found Monday in a wooded area off State Route 10-10 in Great Bend, more commonly known as Harmony Road. There is a boat launch in the area, but it doesn't appear to attract a lot of people. Area police agencies are working on the investigation together. If you have any information you're asked to call PA state police in Gibson.
It's time again for the annual Broome and Tioga Counties Surplus Auction. As always there will be a ton of items on the selling block from vehicles, including a fire truck to bicycles to chairs to a popcorn machine and a lot of other equipment. There will also be some electronics including I-phones and new laptop MAC computers. Barb Fiala says, "I think we have got a great variety, something for everybody. It's early enough where you could even do some Christmas shopping for the hard person to shop for. It's a revenue source for us. We have 11 towns and villages and six school districts. It grossed over 200-thousand dollars last year." The auction is at the Broome County Highway Garage just off Route 12 in the Town of Chenango on Saturday from 10 am until 4p-m.
Previewing starts at 8 am. For larger items you can bid on-line this year. Just log onto

The flood of 2006 forced the DMV to evacuate their office, which at the time was located in the basement of the building, and relocate to the Price Chopper Plaza. The DMV will be closed for business on Friday October 23rd, and will reopen on Monday October 26th at the office building..
The U.S. National Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum in Oneonta is closing except on days of special events. The organization says on its Web site that, "despite many successes, the challenges of generating sufficient earned revenue, engaging sponsors, and developing philanthropic contributions have not been as successful as needed." The Hall of Fame said the decision and cost savings associated with it will help provide the time and resources necessary to plan a new, sustainable operating model. The Hall will be open only on days matches are played on its field.
It said it still plans a 2010 induction ceremony.
