E-Club Welcomes Trehab Students During the months of April and May the Susquehanna Entrepreneurs Club is extending a special invitation to Trehab Assets students. The Assets program educates new and prospective business owners the basics of setting up and running a business. Usually the club holds its monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of the month, but to avoid conflict with the class, the April and May meetings are on the first Monday. The April meeting was run by Sue Campbell, who with husband Gary, own and operate The Shaggy Beast, Llc., an animal products and service company. Her advice to other entrepreneurs is to be determined to reach your goals. She has both short and long-term goals. Her short-term goal is to grow The Shaggy Beast cliental list. Her long-term goal is to open a Montrose Horse Park. Her vision for the park is a place with indoor and outdoor riding arenas, cross country jumps, and riding and driving trails where horse owners can bring their horses to enjoy the sport. Many folks can’t ride in the winter and spring because the ice, snow or mud makes their usual riding spots unsafe. Also it’s nice to ride someplace different, use jumps, or meet other riders in the area. Next month’s meeting is Monday, May 2, at the Peoples National Bank Administration building in Hallstead. You can contact Lori Martin at 853-0940 for more information.
Formal Local Writes First Art Book Formal Local Writes First Art Book “ART TALK, A Practical Guide to Painting and Drawing” by Eileen Potter Kopelman is the first book for this former Susquehanna County resident who now lives in Westmoreland County, PA. Kopelman, who grew up on her parents’ dairy farm in Brooklyn Township, is a graduate of Mt. View High School and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. “Art Talk” is packed with everything the artist/author has learned from observing difficulties she and other artists have encountered in her almost sixteen years of painting. She explains how to make a thumbnail sketch, transfer a small sketch to larger paper or canvas, get a roof peak in the right spot, draw a checkerboard or tile floor in correct perspective, make quick, accurate drawings, make handmade paper, and much more. She makes watercolor easy to understand and methodically explains how to paint various subjects. She gives step by step instructions that should get the would-be artist on the right track. Kopelman began to study art in 1989. She has been painting and exhibiting in western Pennsylvania ever since.

With help of several local vets the handicapped vets were ushered from their bus and into Post 86 Memorial Hall. Prior to serving lunch the vets were entertained by a group of students and teachers from the high school, with several patriotic songs. The group was led by Principal Mike Lisowski and George Wood. During the afternoon the vets were busy opening gifts supplied by the Post and Auxiliary members, who donated monetary gifts. The vets were also presented colored photos of the “Murals on the Walls” of the post, along with writing pads, souvenirs of the borough’s 150 Years birthday. The pads were donated by Jim Gandy.
