Chinese Watercolor At Hill Country Meeting Hill Country Artists will present an interesting program on Chinese watercolor painting. The presentation will take place at their monthly meeting at the Claverack Building on 706, East of Montrose at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 5. Chris Olson will demonstrate the techniques of Chinese brush painting using watercolor. She has had an interest in the art for years and enjoys it even more since having formal instruction. The audience will be encouraged to try this technique. At their September meeting Hill Country Arts visited the Marywood Art Department. They toured the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society exhibit, the Renee Emanual and Bill Titsworth exhibit, the Marywood permanent collection as well as the Art Department. The Watercolor Society exhibit will be there only a short time longer and is very worthwhile to view. Hill Country Artists meet the first Thursday of each month at the Claverack Building during the months of April through November. The public is always invited to attend. The group is always looking for new members, so it is hoped more artists in Susquehanna County will come and join them. For information call Rita Eddy at (570) 553–2500.

Along with his operatic career, Adkins has a long list of symphonic engagements including the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (Verdi’s Requiem); The Toronto Philharmonic; and, the RAI Orchestra in Milano, Italy. He has participated in a number of world premiers. His New York operatic debut took place at Alice Tully Hall in the title role of Virgil Thompson’s “Lord Byron.” Adkins’ television credits include the co-producer and featured solo artist in the international PBS broadcast of “The Musical Legacy of Roland Hayes.” He is a frequent guest soloist on the worldwide telecast of “The Hour of Power” from the Crystal Cathedral in California.

Trees have been called the "lungs of the planet." They take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, keeping the air clean. They provide habitat for birds and insects and prevent soil erosion, and they have been inspiring poets and painters from Homer to Winslow Homer. Trees abound in the 400-acre Florence Shelly Preserve, a protected wetlands in eastern Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. And on Sunday, October 1, at 2 p.m., retired forester Hank Hartman will lead a walk to identify some of these trees and discuss their special qualities. One reason that area originally called the Thompson wetlands was of interest to The Nature Conservancy, which owns the preserve, was that a small stand of balsam fir had been discovered growing wild there. It is believed that this is one of the southernmost locations of this tree, which typically thrives in the northern woodlands of Maine. Other indigenous trees at the preserve include maple, ash, a few species of oak, shadbush (named because they flower around the time the shad are running in the rivers), black cherry, and many others. There is even a rare American elm. Trees planted by humans in the past are also in evidence. For example, you will also notice a line of sugar maples along the main trail, planted by a farm family almost a hundred years ago for sugar tapping. Apple trees and a lilac half hidden in goldenrod and hardhack give further evidence of human habitation in what is now a wildlife preserve. Dense, dark areas of scotch pine and Austrian, or red, pine were plantations started by the Conservation Corps during the Depression and never thinned. Mr. Hartman will give tips for identifying trees by their bark, leaves, cones and other characteristics. The Florence Shelly Preserve is located one mile north of Thompson on Route 171. Parking is available in the lot just opposite Stack Road. The walk will last about two hours and is free to the public. For further information call Carol or Dave Clemens at 879-4244, or Andy Gardner at 727-3362.
