Youthfest Supported By Tobacco Settlement On May 27, the Drug and Alcohol Commission of Susquehanna County will be sponsoring Youthfest 2006 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the New Milford Blue Ridge Pool Park. In 1998, the federal government sued the major cigarette companies for not warning the public about the health dangers of cigarette smoking as well as subversive advertising which attempts to lure youth into a lifetime of cigarette addiction. Over the next 24 years $246 billion are expected to be secured through the lawsuit and a portion of that settlement is given to individual states to use for tobacco-related issues such as cessation programs and prevention. The Youthfest is one example of how these dollars can be utilized. Our target is also the youth, with hopes of giving them choices to healthy living vs. a lifetime of addiction to cigarettes. Come and support our efforts on May 27 at the Youthfest in New Milford, an afternoon of local kids’ bands, games, prizes and much more. For more information contact the Susquehanna County Drug and Alcohol Commission at 278–1000.
The family of Martha G Tomlin (pictured above) will be hosting an open house in celebration of her 80th birthday, Saturday, June 10, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Great Bend Borough Building. All are invited to make this a memorable time by sharing a “story or two” and enjoying the fun, food and festivities.
Wildflower Walk At Shelly Preserve Florence Shelly Preserve, just north of Thompson, PA, is recognized as a place of uncommon diversity, in part because it hosts several species that are rarely seen that far south. This is true not only of several species of birds and of the balsam fir that first brought this secluded wetlands area to the attention of naturalists, but of a few species of wildflowers as well. On Sunday, June 4, a nature walk sponsored by the Florence Shelly Preserve Stewardship Committee will focus on both rare and common wildflowers, all of them a delight to discover hidden among leaves, clustered along streambeds, and nestled against rocky outcroppings. The walk, which begins at 2:00 p.m., will be led by two amateur naturalists, a grandfather and grandson team, Mike and Luke Yavorosky, assisted by Shelly Preserve Stewardship Committee member, Dave Clemens. One of the boreal, or cold-area, flowers you’re likely to spot on this walk is the clintonia, with its large, dark green leaves and small, bell-like flowers. Another is the painted trillium, with its three distinctive leaves and three white, pink-centered petals. The walk leaders know where spring wildflowers hide and will lead you along the trails to secluded areas where you can see goldthread, maidenhair ferns, starflowers, and sensuous pink lady's slippers. Moist soil by the glacial pond and along stream beds offers ideal habitat for Jack-in-the-pulpit. Mike Yavorosky, an outdoorsman and nature lover, taught world history in the Carbondale public school system until his retirement. Luke Yavorosky, age 13, has enthusiastically followed in his grandfather’s footsteps. In fact, he has followed those footsteps almost from the time he was able to take steps of his own. Mike recalls taking the boy for his first nature walk when he was only 18 months old. Since that time, grandfather and grandson have gone on numerous field trips together and undertaken several innovative projects. They are currently working together to reproduce lady’s slipper orchids by natural methods, a very difficult process, and are creating a native plant preserve on a highly unusual piece of property owned by Mr. Yavorosky. The place is about two-thirds of a mile long and fifty feet wide on either side of a stream. Walk participants will meet at the parking lot, one mile north of Thompson on Route 171, where Stack Road intersects. Some areas of the trail may be wet, so protective footwear is highly recommended. For further information, contact Carol or Dave Clemens, 879–4244.
The 2006 season opens at Old Mill Village Museum, New Milford, on Sunday, May 28 with “Wool, Textiles and Scottish Heritage.” Hours are 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. Old Mill Village turns back the clock to the early days of self-sufficiency, when what you wore and what you ate was grown on your own plot of land or in the next township. Live animals, used for textile production, will inhabit the Village for the day. Border Collies will herd sheep at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. Roger Sherman will shear the woollies throughout the afternoon, and Esther Welden will show how to dye wool using plants. There will be continuous spinning and weaving in the Spinning House while, outside, the processing of flax will take place. Dave Ingerson will entertain and educate as he sings the ballads and relates the history of Scotland. He is joined by Marty Devault of Endicott, playing the bagpipes at 12:30, 2:00 and 3:30 p.m. The Gallery Museum will host representatives of area families having Scottish roots, sharing ancestry and exchanging stories. A knitting championship will be held at 4:00 to find the fastest knitter. Needles and yarn will be provided. For information, call Esther at 278–1886 or Cindy at 278–3199.
