Voices Of The Civil War In Montrose The Susquehanna County Civil War Monument Restoration Committee and the Susquehanna County Historical Society will present "Voices of the Civil War" on Sunday, March 30, 2 p.m. at the Montrose Theater. This living history program will present glimpses of the Civil War through the experiences of regimental field musicians, a Confederate wife living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, and a Union mother who, years after the war, continues to mourn the loss of her son. "We are pleased to be offering this wonderful opportunity to see the Civil War in a different light," says project manager Ellen O’Malley. "Our presenters’ skilled reenactments provide a window to the history of the Civil War, from not only a soldier’s point of view but also from the home front."
Re-enactors Joshua Phillips, a fifer, and Michael Boris, a drummer, will portray young field musicians who played an important role in communication between troops on the field of battle. Both boys are active members of the 137th NY Field Music, a local Civil War fife and drum corps. Joshua Phillips, who is a resident of New Milford and a 7th grade student at Blue Ridge School, appeared as a fifer in the recently released movie Gods and Generals. Re-enactor First Sgt. Pete Boris of the 137th NY Field Music will also perform. Melody Phillips provides an interpretation of the struggles of a Confederate wife living in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in 1863. Using period diaries, letters and newspaper accounts, Melody has created the character of Charmaine Morgan, who is striving to keep her farm and her family together in the absence of her husband. Melody is a living historian and a member of the Civil War Society of Binghamton, NY. Eileen Patch offers a poignant portrayal of a mother’s enduring grief at the loss of her son. Appearing as her great-grandmother, Sarah Leach Englis, Eileen reflects on the loss of her son, Sgt. George Englis who served in the 89th NY Infantry Volunteers. Mrs. Patch recently published a book, This From George, which contains the transcribed and annotated letters of Sgt. Englis. Tickets may be purchased at the door the day of the performance or in advance from members of the Monument Restoration Committee. All proceeds will benefit the Civil War Monument Restoration Fund.

If you would like to register to participate in this fun-filled event, please call (570) 278-9027. Explore Communicating With Your Teens Parents often think teens must speak a different language, because they just don’t seem to understand what they’re told. The sixth session of the "Parent to Parent" series explores communication methods that may be more effective when trying to reach adolescents. Communication involves both sending and receiving messages, and it should go both ways for all parties involved. "Parent to Parent" is an eight-week series of video-based programs being offered to the public each Tuesday evening, from 6:30 to 7:30 at the TREHAB Page House in Great Bend, from now through April 15. Next Tuesday, April 1 will be the sixth session of the series. This session will help parents to realize that adults and adolescents do indeed communicate differently, but the good news is that adults can learn how to "speak their kids’ language." Even more importantly, teens who feel like they’re being heard, and understood, are much less likely to use alcohol or other drugs – a payoff that many parents feel is worth learning that "second language." For more information about the "Parent to Parent" program, contact D&A Prevention Supervisor Roselyn Hibbard at TREHAB in Montrose, 278-5229, or visit the Page House in Great Bend on Tuesday evenings through April 15. Summer Adventure Applications Available Woodland Resources Adventure is a great summer environmental and forestry experience for students ages 12-15. Students learn about trees, wildlife, aquatic life, logging, streams, soils, urban forestry and their relation to the environment.

Woodland Resources Adventure begins on Sunday, July 27 at noon and runs through Thursday, July 31 at noon. This year, they are limited to 40 students. For more information on the Woodland Resources Adventure, contact your local Conservation District or the Endless Mountains RC&D office at (570) 265-3409, ext. 5. The local Conservation District can be reached by calling the County Courthouse at 278-4600. The Altar and Rosary Society of St. John’s Church, Susquehanna is planning a Spring Fashion Show for Sunday, March 30. With fashions by R&A Boutique, the 3 p.m. show, to be held in the Parish Hall, will feature local models. The members of the society are planning a full afternoon of door prizes and refreshments.

There will be a party honoring Goldie, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, at the Senior Center, Great Bend. No gifts please. Bluebirds In The Back Yard Soon On Saturday, March 29, 1–3 p.m., the Friends of Salt Springs State Park will offer a slide show and workshop on the Eastern Bluebird. As little as 50 years ago, the bluebird was a common sight on farms and in back yards throughout the region. Due to pesticides, habitat loss, predation and nesting competition with non-native species, their numbers dwindled dramatically until they were rarely if ever seen. In recent years, however, and thanks to numerous conservation efforts, the bluebird’s population has increased to the point that they are one of wildlife conservation’s best success stories. Nesting boxes erected in appropriate habitats have contributed greatly to the renewed nesting success of this species. Bluebirds, often referred to as Harbingers of Spring, are easy to attract to your property and their melodious songs are a pleasure to hear. This workshop, limited to 20, will feature an informative slide show and talk on the bluebird’s natural history and how best to attract them to your property. Participants will also receive a pre-cut bluebird box kit to assemble at the workshop. Call 967-7275 for information and to pre-register, by March 28.
