A Call For Volunteers For County Cleanup After a very successful Susquehanna County Cleanup in 2006, County Commissioner MaryAnn Warren is once again looking for volunteers. Warren is organizing an effort that will reflect the pride that residents have in their boroughs and townships and in the county’s beautiful, natural surroundings. Those of us who call Susquehanna County home are fortunate, indeed. We are blessed to live in a gorgeous natural environment of mountains and meandering streams. Many of us hunt, fish, hike and take advantage of what we have right here in our back yards. We are proud of it – and rightly so. It’s all part of the Governor’s Great PA Cleanup and the Great American Cleanup, and it is local. Projects can kick-off on Earth Day, April 21, and finish up May 27 – just in time to enjoy all the pleasures that summer brings county residents and tourists. Taking part in the clean up is easy, and the state will help, too! Here’s what you need to know. Volunteers and volunteer groups can be any size and any age appropriate to the project. It’s also a great way for families to have fun. Volunteers select their own project – say, cleaning a stretch of a local road or creek, planting shrubs or flowers in public areas, or cleaning up playgrounds and parks – you name it! A variety of resources are available simply by going online. Volunteers may want to assign a person to do this, because when they do, they’ll receive cleanup/safety supplies from PennDOT (gloves, trash bags and safety vests) and be eligible for sweepstakes prizes as well. Here’s all it takes: Go to www.greatpacleanup.org. If your group doesn’t already have a project, you’ll find plenty of suggestions here. Register your project online by following simple instructions and review the information for your personal safety. Once your project is registered, call PennDOT’s Montrose office at 278-1171 and they’ll arrange for your cleanup/safety supplies. If you or your group has any questions about the process, call Commissioner Warren at 278-4600 ext. 108.
“Sowing The Wind,” A Farm Safety Play On April 24 at 7:30 p.m., during Rural Roads Safety Week, Susquehanna County Farm Bureau will host a Fulton Theatre production of Sowing the Wind at the Montrose Theatre. Admission to this farm safety play is free and open to the general public. FFA and 4-H club leaders can contact Cheryl Matulevich, (289-4114) or Donna Williams, (942-6348), to reserve seating for their organizations and to obtain the free 20-page Sowing the Wind farm safety study guide. Sowing the Wind is an audience participation play written by the Fulton Theatre’s artist-in-residence, Barry Kornhauser, Lancaster, PA and students of Huntingdon County, PA, with guidance from a Penn State University farm safety expert. It explores the struggles of an American farm family faced with difficult decisions regarding safe and healthy choices in what is one of the most dangerous occupations in America. Clare, Ezekiel, and Jacob Meyer face difficult choices about their health and safety, but in this unique show, audience members become active contributors in helping the Meyers choose which actions will better promote their well-being. Audiences help create the outcome of Sowing the Wind. Audiences don’t watch it happen, they make it happen! Sowing the Wind was written under a Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation "Artists & Communities" Grant and produced via a Pennsylvania Performing Artists on Tour (PennPAT) "New Directions" Grant. Suggested for Grades 4-12 and adults.
