County Natural Areas Inventory Completed A two-year effort to identify Susquehanna County’s most ecologically significant natural environments will conclude with a public presentation of the team’s findings to the citizens of Susquehanna County. With funding provided by the Wild Resource Conservation Program and a State Wildlife Grant, the biologists with the PA Science Office of The Nature Conservancy conducted a countywide inventory to locate and document undisturbed wetlands, forests and other high-quality natural habitats harboring uncommon animal and plant species. The inventory is a natural partnership between local governments, the state, and private organizations, and increased the available information about the county and state’s biological diversity. The presentation of the report will include a visual overview of the project; its methods, results and conclusions. The public is encouraged to attend and learn more about Susquehanna County’s natural heritage. The presentation will be held at 7:00 p.m., Thursday, September 28 in the Conference Room of the County Office Building, 31 Public Avenue, Montrose. For directions or further information, contact the Susquehanna County Department of Planning at (570) 278–4600, ext. 290 or the PA Science Office of The Nature Conservancy at (717) 948–3836.

Locally-Authored Play Is A Hard-Boiled Hit! Endless Mountains Theatre Company presents Lust, Lugers, and Larceny, a hard-boiled detective yarn authored by local playwright David Schmidt!
Pictured (l-r): Thug Ricco (James Treible, left) menaces hero Nick Holliday (Mark Wayman) and suspect Gwen Leigh (Bonnie Love). Photo by Joe Facinelli It is the 1940's, the era of hard-boiled detectives and gangsters. Private Detective Nick Holliday and his girl Friday, Dora Chase, are hired by a grieving widow, Kathleen Neuman, to find her husband's murderer. A routine case quickly becomes anything but for Nick and Dora when they run afoul of gangsters and learn the existence of a criminal mastermind calling himself The Sicilian. As the play progresses, Nick battles hired thugs and encounters an array of odd characters. "I have been a fan of the hard-boiled detective for as long as I can remember," explains Schmidt, a theatre veteran who has been active with EMTC as a performer since 2002. "What most appealed to me about the hard-boiled detective is that he is a common man but at the same time an unusual man," says Schmidt. "He embodies all that is right and good in a man, but he's no saint." The playwright notes that a protagonist like his Nick Holliday is "a hero for the common man." Lust, Lugers, and Larceny will be performed September 22-23 at 7:30 p.m. at Montrose Area High School. For those of you who have attended EMTC productions in the past, please note that this is a different location from previous shows. Parental advisory: this play's contents are comparable to those of a PG-13 movie. For more information, call (570) 278-7828 or visit www.4emtc.org.

No appointment is necessary. The senator added that constituents who are unable to attend but would like to speak with him or a staff member should feel free to call either of his district offices, located at One Progress Plaza, Suite 13, Towanda, telephone (570) 265–7448, and 330 Pine St., Suite 200, Williamsport, telephone 1-800-443-5772.

Although the 400-acre Florence Shelly Preserve in Thompson, PA is a protected wetlands area and home to many species of wild plants, birds, and animals, you can detect traces of the land’s relationship with humans over many scores of years if you know where to look. How humans work with and in nature, in both positive and negative ways, and in the preserve in particular, is the subject of a nature walk to be led by Andrew Gardner on Sunday, September 24 at 2:00 p.m. “No matter where we go, there’s human influence and there’s the influence of nature,” says Gardner, a potter, graphics designer, and willow furniture maker from Thompson. “We make judgments about nature, either thinking it should be 'pristine' and off limits to humans or else assuming that nature is a commodity we can use as we want. Either attitude tends to separate us from the natural world. Working in partnership with nature benefits both.” Starting at the trailhead just off Pennsylvania Route 171, the group will pause at several places in the preserve where humans have altered nature, deliberately or accidentally. For example, many of the wild plants, some of them with important medicinal and culinary properties, arrived as seeds embedded in the shoes of European immigrants. Farther down the trail and hidden among vegetation is the stone foundation of an old barn – along with a lilac bush and a row of maple trees that the farm family used to tap sugar. In another area of the preserve, damaged topsoil and rows of scotch pines planted in the 1930s as Christmas trees show evidence of short-sightedness and faulty planning. In these and many other places, participants will get a glimpse of what’s behind the screen of green vegetation that is their first impression of the preserve and will discern how different generations and different cultural values have contributed to the shifting landscape. Andrew Gardner is a long-time member of the Florence Shelly Preserve Stewardship Committee. He himself turns to nature when he harvests willow for his rustic furniture and local clay for his pottery. Participants will meet at the parking lot, one mile north of Thompson on Route 171, just opposite Stack Road. The walk will last approximately two hours and is free of charge. Some areas of the trail may be wet, so protective footwear is highly recommended. For further information, contact Andrew Gardner at (570) 727-3362.
