The Susquehanna County Literacy Program and the Susquehanna County Library invite everyone to a 1920s Family Fun Day, Saturday, September 15, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., on the Green and in the Montrose Main Library. The Family Fun Day is held as part of "Susquehanna County Reads," in which Susquehanna County residents are encouraged to read F. Scott Fitzgerald's short Jazz Age classic, "The Great Gatsby." You do not need to be registered to attend, but it's a great way to find out more about the era in which the book is set. There will be entertainment, including music, Charleston dance demonstrations and Cake Walks, children's games and activities, craft demonstrations, a walking 1920s fashion show, displays of historic items, antique cars and farm equipment, and food and drinks popular in the 1920s. A classic Charlie Chaplin movie will be shown in the library, and the Fire Hall museum will be open. Admission is free for all ages! Susquehanna County Reads is made possible by a Big Read grant. The Big Read is a national program by the National Endowment for the Arts, in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and Arts Midwest, that encourages literary reading by asking communities to come together to read and discuss one book. To find out more, visit the Susquehanna County Reads website at www.susqcolibrary.org/bigread, or contact Literacy at 278-9027 or the library at 278-1881.
Hill Country Artists Explore Sensations The next regular Hill Country Artists (HCA) meeting/program on October 4 will feature HCA member Chris Lathrop presenting the theories and background of syneathesia, a rare clinical anomaly where people experience unusual and real sensations. The meeting/program starts at 7 p.m. and is held at the Claverack Building, along Route 706 E., Montrose. The few who are born with it, the 'Syns' (synesthete is the proper word), experience sensations such as the color of sound or the taste of shapes, without any help other than their own sensory perceptions and the stimulus of the world around and within them. For a period spanning over three centuries, many artists have been inspired by the notion, devising ways of simulating it by (re)creating one media out of another, and attempting to communicate their work to the public as joined sensations. Historically, synaesthetic art has referred to a range of artistic experiments that synthesize different art disciplines evident in genres such as visual music, abstract painting and film, experimental theatre, symbolist poetry, science fiction and intermedial, electronic and generative art. Today the interest in sensorial art is rife, but it is more down to earth and integrated into contemporary art practices. It is more accepting of interrelated experiences than concerned with heightened awareness because our world is more connected and we, and our digital media and devices are more synaesthetic. The Hill Country Artists promote the arts in and around Susquehanna County. April through December meetings are open to the public and new members are welcome. Call HCA president, Rita Eddy, 553-2500 for information.
Special Meetings With Peter Parkas Peter Parkas is a Gentile who grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in New York City. His father later married a Jewish woman who became very involved in Peter's upbringing. While growing up, he attended Jewish summer camps in both the United States and Israel. In spite of a good upbringing, in his search for meaning and purpose in life, Peter turned to drugs. In 1984 he was given a Bible and was convinced it was God's Word. He met a Jewish believer who led him to the Lord. He earned a Master's Degree in Jewish Studies and has been involved in Jewish ministry for over 10 years. He is the Northeast Ministry representative for CJF Ministries. He and his wife, Diann, have four children. His messages demonstrate God's love for Israel and why it is important to bring the gospel to His covenant people. He is an excellent communicator of God's word, in both its historical and contextual meaning. Peter is a gifted speaker whose enthusiasm for the word of God will excite all who hear him. Peter will be speaking at the First Baptist Church, Susquehanna on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September 14, 15 and 16. On Friday he will speak on "The End Times"; on Saturday he will speak on "Islamic Terrorism – the Big Picture." Both these meetings are at 7:00 p.m. On Sunday, at 11:00 a.m. he will be giving his personal testimony and then at 6:00 p.m. he will be speaking on "Messiah in the Passover," and he will also be demonstrating the Passover. The public is cordially invited to attend these meetings.
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) classes will be held at St. John the Evangelist Church, Susquehanna, in the Fall. Group sessions are informative and fun. If you or anyone you know is interested in learning about the Catholic religion, call Vicky Mulligan (278–3286) or the parish office (853–4634) for details.
