Friendship is a cherished gift. Therefore, that is all you are asked to bring. Drug, Alcohol Abuse Among The Elderly If an older person were ill or needed help, most people would do everything they could to help. But when that same older person shows signs of having a problem with alcohol or prescription drugs, it’s hard for most people to know what to do or say. During April, Alcohol Awareness month, the B/S/S/T Area Agency on Aging PrimeTime Health program will sponsor a program called Responsibility of Friendship: How to talk to an older person who has a problem with alcohol or medications. This program will be held in the Susquehanna County Senior Community Centers, and will be presented by staff of TreHab’s Drug and Alcohol Education unit. Alcoholism and the misuse of prescription drugs are becoming a life-threatening epidemic in older people. It is estimated that 70% of all hospitalized older persons have alcohol-related problems. Among older people there is reason for concern about mixing alcohol and drugs. Combining prescriptions with alcohol can be deadly at any age, and especially so among the older age groups. This program will be held at the following Senior Community Centers: Susquehanna/Lanesboro – April 5, 12:30 p.m.; Lawton – April 19, 11:30 p.m.; Montrose – April 20, 1:30 p.m.; Lenoxville – April 22,10:30 a.m. For more information contact the Area Agency on Aging at 1-800-982-4346. Senior Community Centers in Susquehanna County are operated by Barnes-Kasson Senior Services through a contract with the Area Agency on Aging. The Susquehanna County Commissioners announce the Courthouse will be closed on Friday, April 9, in observance of Good Friday. All court related offices will be available. Sweetheart Contest At Jackson P. O. Jackson Postmaster, Diane Stanley, invites married couples, who have been married fifty years or longer, to stop by and fill out an entry form for a Sweetheart Contest, or call 756–2850. The winning couple will be presented with a framed sheet of the new Garden Bouquet commemorative stamp. The contest deadline is April 15. For more information please call. Library Hobby Day/Auction Night Set Mark Saturday, April 24 on your calendar for an exciting annual event: an afternoon of hobbies at the Montrose Library, from 3 p.m. -5 p.m., followed by a reception and auction at the Fire Hall. This is the thirteenth year that the Susquehanna County Historical Society & Free Library Association has invited a dozen hobbyists and crafters to show their work and answer questions. Presenters for Hobby Day, a free program that's fun for all ages, are still being lined up – there will be a good mix of old and new, appealing to all! It's the sixth year for the Auction, which benefits the Association, and it's an especially important year because of the severely reduced state funding to libraries. Organizers are collecting a wonderful variety of special items. More donations for the Auction are needed, and businesses are invited to advertise in the program (an attractive booklet). Tickets will be available at the door of the Montrose Fire Hall. The doors open at 5 and the festivities start at 5:30 with a buffet reception. The Auction begins at 6 p.m. Entertaining auctioneer Dave Coddington makes this a delightful, laughter-filled event. For more information on Hobby Day or Auction Night, call (570) 278-1881. Madigan To Hold Local Outreaches Harrisburg – State Sen. Roger A. Madigan (R-23) will host outreach events in April, to give Susquehanna County residents a chance to ask questions or discuss issues concerning state government.
