The honoree lives at 308 Laurel Street, Susquehanna with her husband of 32 years, William. Sally and Bill are the proud parents of three sons, William, Jr., Michael Clark and Robert Cook and one daughter, Sara Francis. Just ask these four children and they will tell you there is another child named Barnes Kasson which takes up most of their mother’s time. Sally’s extended family includes Bill Jr.’s wife, Mary and their two daughters, Victoria and Amanda, Michael’s wife, Kelly and their daughters, Kyleigh and Bridget. Sally graduated from Susquehanna High School, Keystone Junior College and Marywood College. She completed her education in 1980 with work in Community and Health Care Services at Empire State College, Division of State University of New York. The areas covered by her education are accounting, economics, personnel management, as well as marketing and management organization. Sally’s expertise and caring hand is evident in all departments at the hospital. She is truly a hands on administrator. According to Sally, her greatest strength is her husband, Bill.

SCDED Plans Welcome Back Downtown The Susquehanna County Department of Economic Development invites the county’s business community, municipal officials and non-profit organizations to attend a Welcome Back Downtown seminar on March 26, at 7 p.m. in the meeting room of Peoples National Bank Administrative Office, 50 Main Street, Hallstead. "We want to provide you with the tools and information you need to revitalize your downtown area," says Justin Taylor, director of the Department of Economic Development. Taylor adds that a downtown community in Susquehanna County includes not only the county’s thirteen organized boroughs but the county’s villages as well. "Areas such as Harford, Springville, and Clifford add a great deal of character to the county landscape and we’d like to be able to assist these communities as well," Taylor said. Welcome Back Downtown is a seminar designed by the Center for Rural PA and the PA Downtown Center to address the special needs of small, rural communities. The seminar will create an awareness of the need for partnerships among community members to revitalize their downtown areas to provide for economic development and quality of life. The seminar will also provide tools and strategies as outlined in Welcome Back Downtown: A Guide to Revitalizing Pennsylvania’s Small Downtowns, published by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania. Some of these tools include: developing a long term plan and financial backing, and creating commitments among partners. Types of community assessments are also explained, along with ideas for local business development, including recruitment of new businesses, tourism development and promotion techniques. There is no fee for this seminar but the department does request those planning to attend to register by contacting the Susquehanna County Department of Economic Development at (570) 278-4600, ext. 558, or email susqded@epix.net. Parents Get Involved In Weekly Meets "Parent to Parent" kicked off in Great Bend on Tuesday evening. This eight-week series of video-based programs encourages parents to be proactive in helping adolescents deal with issues of sex, drugs and personal values. Since raising kids isn’t as easy as it used to be, schools and community organizations are supporting programs such as "Parent to Parent" to offer help to all parents. "Parents need all the encouragement and support they can get," says Roselyn Hibbard, TREHAB D&A Prevention Supervisor, "and the Parent to Parent program is a very informal, laid back, program that could just be the difference between a family succeeding or not in their attempt to have a healthy and safe life style." Hibbard facilitates the "Parent to Parent" program, which is open to the public and from now through April 15 will be presented each Tuesday evening, from 6:30 to 7:30 at the Page House in Great Bend. The topic for March 4 is "Put Yourself in the Way" and will show parents how they can recognize attitudes and identify basic means of prevention. Every session offers useful information and a topic may build on ideas presented in earlier sessions. But, says Hibbard, a parent need not attend every session to find it "extremely worthwhile". For more information about the "Parent to Parent" program, Roselyn Hibbard can be contacted at the TREHAB Center in Montrose, at 278-5229, or visit the Page House in Great Bend on Tuesday evenings through April 15. On March 29, the Susquehanna County Literacy Program will hold a Sumo Wrestling fund-raiser at Blue Ridge High School, New Milford, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. "Sumo wrestling" suits will be provided for a team of two participants (ninth grade - adult). Each team will register, either in advance or participants can register the night of the fund-raiser for a small fee. If you would like to register to participate in this fun-filled event, please call (570) 278-9027.
