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. Joan
Hurley, RN (Ret.) To Be Honored The Susquehanna American Legion Post 86 will, on Saturday, April 24, honor one of the Tri-Boroughs most "outstanding ladies," Mrs. Joan (Langan) Hurley, at a dinner-dance in the post’s Memorial Hall. Joan, who helped make it possible for Barnes-Kasson Hospital patients to have a "good day," will now be the honoree at "a day for Joan Hurley." At Barnes-Kasson she was a "jack-of-all-trades," as she started in the medical staff and worked in nearly every department of the hospital. She became Director of Nurses in February, 1984. Her achievements were many. She completed a course early in 1979 for certification in the medical records department as a Registered Health Information Technician. She was involved in Quality Assurance studies, including the commission for medical insurance coverage. After her retirement she was quoted as saying, "I thank God every day for my nice family, special friends, good health and the knowledge I’ve gained in health care through the opportunity to work for so many years at Barnes-Kasson Hospital. As the saying goes, ‘There comes a time...’" Joan (Langan) Hurley is a graduate of Laurel Hill Academy, Class of 1949; the Scranton Mercy Hospital, 1952. She was married to James Hurley, in 1953, widowed by his untimely death in March, 1979. They had six children: Peggy (Kevin) Guyette, a teacher in the Binghamton schools; twin sons, James and John, born prematurely, died soon after birth; Kitsy (Bob) Rice, RN in Florida; Joan Marie, teacher, Baltimore, MD; James and wife, Deanne, teachers in Cleveland, Ohio; and eight grandchildren. OK, folks, now you have an opportunity to "thank Joan" for her many years of dedication to help "you" when you were a patient. The affair will start at 6 p.m., with dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets or reservations can be made by contacting the American Legion at 853–3542. (Help Joan celebrate her day!) 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.

Tickets are $4 each or $7 for a couple, available at the door. The Fire Hall doors will open at 5 and the festivities start at 5:30 with a buffet reception. The Auction begins at 6 p.m., with an incredible array of art, crafts, tickets and gift certificates, and lots more to bid on, including some of the hobbies represented at Hobby Day.
