EVENTS, PROGRAMS, HAPPENINGS, SEMINARS: Gibson Twp. Hosts Watershed Group Landowners and residents of Gibson Township and parts of Ararat, Herrick, Jackson, Thompson, Harford and Lenox Townships are invited to become a part of a community defined, not by municipal borders but by the tops of hills. The Upper Tunkhannock Creek Watershed Association announces its organizational meeting Thursday, January 9, at the Gibson Township Building, Route 92. The fledgling organization will adopt bylaws and elect its initial board of directors. Rob Parker, watershed specialist with the Endless Mountains Resources Conservation & Development committee (RC&D) and Mike Villanella, watershed specialist with the Susquehanna County Conservation District will be on hand to guide the group through the process and answer any questions. A watershed map will help define the natural boundaries of the community. Attendees will see slides of local wildlife. What is a watershed? It is the stream, creek or river, and every place that drains into it. It stretches from mountain top to mountain top or hilltop to hilltop. Drive down Route 92 from North Jackson to Jackson, Gelatt, South Gibson, Lenox, Glenwood, Nicholson to Route 6. You’ve been in the Tunkhannock Creek Watershed all the way, following the creek, crossing its tributaries. Take any side road into the hills past homes, farms, woods, quarries. These are all part of the watershed. Drive over the top and downhill. You’re in the next watershed, another tributary of the Tunkhannock Creek. The tributaries, the feeder streams, like branches of a tree, connect to form ever larger streams. The Tunkhannock Creek joins the Susquehanna River, which flows into the Chesapeake Bay. The Association is open to all interested residents and landowners within the boundaries of the watershed. January 9 THURSDAY NIGHT LIFELIKE, a spontaneous live comedy presented by Endless Mts.

Madigan (R-23) has scheduled four outreach events, in January to give Susquehanna County residents a chance to ask questions or discuss issues concerning state government. "Whether it’s a problem with PENNDOT or a question about state programs or regulations, this is a chance to sit down and talk with a member of my staff," Madigan said. "Essentially, we’re taking my district office on the road, to make it more convenient to Susquehanna County residents." Madigan said the events will be held each Tuesday in January. On the first and third Tuesdays – January 7 and 21 – staff member Chris McLaud will be available to speak with constituents, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Susquehanna County Offices Annex, 31 Public Avenue, Montrose. On the second and fourth Tuesdays – January 14 and 28 – McLaud will meet with constituents, from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Hallstead–Great Bend Library, 201 Franklin Street, Hallstead. No appointment is necessary. The senator added that constituents who are unable to attend but would like to speak with him or a staff member should feel free to call either of his district offices, located at One Progress Plaza, Suite 13, Towanda, telephone (570) 265-7448, and 330 Pine St., Suite 200, Williamsport, telephone (570) 322-6457, or 1-800-443-5772.
