Since her 99th birthday, Ruth has been recognized in various ways. She was recognized as the “Teacher of the Century” the by Preston School. She was also presented with a citation from the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, recognizing her “contribution to the enrichment and betterment of succeeding generations.” In addition, she has received a certificate from the Northern Wayne Community Library, which recognized her as both the “First Volunteer” and the “Volunteer of the Decade.”
Rep. Major Schedules April Office Hours Rep.

Art Displays Fill Area Businesses A lion’s face made from a paper plate, a bird covered with feathers, or a colorful painting expressing spring, are just some of what you may find in area businesses during April. The countywide Young Art Display is in celebration of National “Week of the Young Child,” April 22-28. Nearly 40 businesses from Forest City, Great Bend, Hallstead, Montrose, New Milford and Susquehanna responded to the call from Susquehanna County CARES (Childcare, Agencies, Resources and Educational Services) to recognize the talents of our young children by displaying their work. Various childcare, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs supplied everything from drawings to craft projects. The items reflect the role early education plays in shaping a child’s future. Research shows children who receive a quality experience before the age of five achieve greater success late in life. CARES coordinated this special display with the help of the Endless Mountains Businesses Association, Forest City Commercial Association, Montrose Area Chamber of Commerce and the Susquehanna Community Development Association.
Madigan To Hold Local Outreach Harrisburg – State Sen. Roger A. Madigan (R-23) will host outreach events in April to give Susquehanna County residents a chance to ask questions or discuss issues concerning state government. “Constituents are invited to stop by and discuss any problems or questions they might have about state issues or state programs,” Madigan said. The senator stated that a staff member will be available to speak with constituents on April 27 from 11 a.m. until 12 p.m. at the Susquehanna County Office Annex, 31 Public Avenue, Montrose and from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m. at the Hallstead-Great Bend Public Library, 201 Franklin Street, Hallstead.

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.
Wildlife Rescue Dinner & Auction Wildlife Rescue and Adopt An Angel Companion Animal Rescue will hold their sixth annual dinner and auction on April 22 at The Basil Leaf Restaurant, Montrose, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. A fabulous "all-you-can-eat" Italian buffet, including vegetarian items and dessert, will be served. Host DJ will be Kurt Motsko. There will be many interesting auction items and raffles which will include such finds as crafts, paintings, animal goodies, gift baskets, resort getaways, gift certificates to many area restaurants and businesses and much, much more. All proceeds will support continuing work to help all animals in need. Wildlife Rescue is an all volunteer 501(c)3 organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
In 1998, after Hurricane Floyd claimed the lives of millions of animals in North Carolina and the fact that many thousands more were separated from their owners, emergency management personnel recognized the importance of coordinating animal-related disaster preparation plans. One result of this advanced planning was the formation of State Animal Response Teams (SART). In 2004, Pennsylvania adopted this concept to address animal related disaster response needs. The goals of SART programs are to facilitate a rapid, coordinated and effective response to any emergency affecting animals and to minimize the economic impact of emergencies affecting animals. One example of the role of SART would be in the event of large-scale evacuation where homeowners would not be permitted to keep their pets with them at temporary shelters. SART would coordinate with local emergency managers to activate holding areas to temporarily house pets during the evacuation. Pennsylvania SART recognizes the important role of local volunteers to assist coordination of response planning. Local based teams are referred to as CART – County Animal Response Teams. CART teams have been formed in Bradford, Lackawanna, and Wyoming Counties. Plans are being made at this time for the establishment of a CART in Susquehanna County. CART teams are made up of county emergency management agencies, county Extension educators, law enforcement, local humane societies, local veterinarians, and other volunteers interested in assisting with animal emergencies. On Tuesday, May 1, at 7:00 p.m. in the County Office Building, 31 Public Avenue, Montrose, an introduction program will be held. Mr. Joel Hersh, PA SART Executive Director will provide an overview of the SART program and provide information on the development of a team in Susquehanna County. The program will begin at 7:00 p.m. and conclude by 9:00 p.m. Pre-registration is requested by calling Extension Office at 278-1158, or EMA office at 278-4600 ext. 257. To protect your animals in a disaster, SART encourages everyone to be prepared. Have a contingency plan for dealing with livestock, horses, and poultry in an emergency situation. These plans would include feed and water supplies, areas for confinement and possible transportation. Pet owners should purchase a pet carrier and know where animal health records, medications, food and bedding are for rapid access in an emergency.

Where can you eat, laugh, and shop, all in one place? At the ninth annual Auction Night! This April 14 fundraiser for the Library and Historical Society keeps getting better and better, and this year it will be held once again at the VFW Hall in Montrose (on Route 706). Admission includes a wonderful buffet dinner provided by local restaurants and caterers.
Pictured is "Cutting Diagonal" by George Manns (figured hard maple, cherry, ebony), just one of many items donated to the Library's 9th annual auction. An identical board won Best in Show at the Wharton Esherick Museum's 13th annual thematic woodworking competition.

Entertaining auctioneers Dave and Josie Coddington make this a delightful, laughter-filled event, and the array of items donated this year is remarkable. There's a certificate for stone wall building, nights in local bed-and-breakfasts, beautiful jewelry, even a week-long stay on North Carolina's Outer Banks! Some noteworthy items this year include a still-life watercolor by Hope Bullard, a unique card table from about 1948 featuring the names of Montrose businesses, a prize-winning wooden cutting board, and an antique charger (large plate). Local artists, authors, furniture makers, and potters have donated special treasures. Special baskets (barbeque, beach, chocolate, and more), event tickets, books, crafts, services – there's something for everyone, and for every price range!

EMTC Takes To The "Peanuts" Gallery! Endless Mountains Theatre Company is launching its 2007 season, and the word is... Snoopy!!! Yes, the one and only many-faceted beagle, along with his unforgettable colleagues from the landmark Peanuts comic strip created by Charles M. Schulz. Snoopy!!! is a fun-filled, heartwarming musical, a sequel to the legendary show You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. As in that show, our much-beloved Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and the gang take the stage to amuse us, delight us, and even give us some insights into life. This whimsical, vignette-style show is sure to connect with everyone who has ever smiled at Snoopy, Woodstock, and the whole, wide world of Peanuts. It's all in there – from Lucy's psychiatrist’s booth to Linus' blanket to the Great Pumpkin and the Easter Beagle. And who could resist songs like "The World According to Snoopy"! Snoopy!!! features a script by Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates, Warren Lockhart, Arthur Whitelaw and Michael L. Grace; music by Larry Grossman; and lyrics by Hal Hackady. EMTC's production is directed by Dianna Wayman. Performances will be April 20 and 21, at 7:00 p.m. and April 22, at 3:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Montrose, PA.
