Fair At Blue Ridge High The fourth annual Susquehanna County Health Fair will be held on November 16, at Blue Ridge High School from 10:00 a.m. through 3:00 p.m. This year’s health fair is being held in conjunction with the PTO Holiday Bazaar and craft show. A poster contest was held for the seventh grade art students at Blue Ridge Middle School. The winner of the contest was Nathan Grover whose slogan "Healthy People Ahead" set his design apart from the rest. A $25 cash prize was awarded by Grace Magill, chairwoman of the health fair committee.
Grace Magill, health fair chairwoman, gives the cash prize to Nathan Grover, poster contest winner. The Health Fair will once again be offering many free health screenings including: cholesterol, glaucoma, visual acuity, PSA, bone density, blood pressure, hearing, colon cancer, lead testing and blood sugar. Lectures and workshops will be held on asthma and lung disease, basic first aid, Area Agency on Aging programs, hand washing and common childhood diseases. This year we are offering children’s fingerprinting as well as a child’s safety seat check. There will also be flu shots available on a first come, first serve basis. Health care providers, government and nonprofit agencies and many area businesses will be on hand offering information on a large variety of topics.

Library To Celebrate Anniversary On November 2, Northern Wayne Community Library is celebrating its tenth anniversary with an Open House celebration at 2:00 p.m. at the library in Lakewood. The growth of this library has been amazing. With determination and strong community support the library has grown from a small collection of books donated by Margaret Northhacker to a library of more than ten thousand books, videos and other materials. The idea for establishing a library came from Ruth Frederick, Ruth Wenk, and Lauren DeWolfe. These women, joined by Pat Christian, began the library and donations of books and volunteer workers poured in.
Library founders, (l-r) are: Ruth Frederick, Ruth Wenk, Pat Christian. Opening on November 1, 1992 the library was located in Lakewood. Although the library's original site was only one room, it has grown to five rooms and fills an entire building. A large fiction room also hosts community events. The bright and cheery children's room was added and it brims with all types of books, videos and tapes. It even has a children's computer. What was once a garage now holds the reference and nonfiction books. Last year, volunteers remodeled the old kitchen and bathroom. Many people are responsible for the library's transformation. There have been carpenters, painters, and electricians who have helped. Volunteers have installed computers, built shelves, moved books, worked the circulation desk, and more. In 1996 Maria Suhadolnik began as library director and she led the library to meet state standards for public libraries. Once these standards were met, the library was eligible for state funds and support services. With this additional state support the library has been able to expand its collection and offer so many programs to children and adults. Not only is the library a place for books, it is a community center. People of all ages meet there for activities, programs and classes. Ten years of history for the library have been a steady record of growth and community support. The library recognizes that it could not possibly have grown without the generous support of the community of Northern Wayne County and the legion of loyal volunteers who have helped along the way. League Leaders To Discuss Education The League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania has determined that the time has come to update the League’s position on education in the Commonwealth. To address the changing public education picture, the Susquehanna County League has scheduled an informational meeting to be followed by a concurrence vote of LWVSC members on Wednesday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the Claverack Building, Route 706, Montrose. The LWVSC is pleased to have as guest speakers for this special meeting Elizabeth Milner, LWVPA President, and LWVPA Education Specialist Judy Rice. They will discuss why an update is needed, and explain in detail the specific changes being proposed. All League members have been sent a study guide as preparation for this concurrence meeting. Even though only LWVSC members will be voting on the proposed changes, the public is welcome to attend. Discussed in detail will be such important issues as: funding sources for education; charter schools; and special education funding. For more information about League activities and about membership in the local League, contact membership chair, Marilyn Healey at 965-9003. On Saturday, November 2, the Hallstead-Great Bend Civic Club is once again sponsoring its AMBA Blood Screening program at the American Legion Post on New York Avenue, Hallstead, from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. The blood screen runs more than 30 tests, which serve as an early warning system to red-flag current or potential health problems, such as coronary disease, kidney disease, diabetes, liver disease and other conditions. For more information or to make an appointment, call AMBA toll-free at 1-800-234-8888. Robert Bateman Painting Techniques Linda Truman will give a presentation of painting techniques used by Robert Bateman, well known wildlife artist. Having attended a recent seminar and viewed many of his exhibits, she will present ideas that are evident in his paintings. She will discuss different techniques, such as composition. Even though he paints in acrylics the information will be useful for whatever media an artist uses. The program will be presented at the monthly meeting of Hill Country Artists, November 5, 7 p.m. at the Claverack building on 706E Montrose. The public is always invited to attend. Many of the Artists were part of the Artists' Open House Weekend during the Columbus Day weekend. Hill Country Artists had a free drawing of a Jane Neyhard painting during the show. Megan Kelley of Harford was the lucky winner. Watercolor painting classes are being offered by Hill Country Artists on Tuesday evenings, from 5-8 p.m. at the Claverack Building. For information call 553-2500.
