Ed DeWitt Is Chamber Citizen Of The Year Longtime community activist Ed DeWitt has been chosen as the Montrose Area Chamber of Commerce 2007 Citizen of the Year.

Photo courtesy of Craige’s Photique The community is invited to celebrate Ed’s commitment to community and youth, October 11 at the Montrose Bible Conference Dining Hall, Lake Ave., Montrose. If you’ve ever enjoyed the annual Montrose Fourth of July celebration, donated to the annual Kiwanis Christmas Toy Drive, connected with Key Clubs at local high schools or enjoyed watching youngsters do well on the golf course, you’ve seen Ed DeWitt’s community action. A member of the Montrose Area Kiwanis, Ed has put his heart and soul into the annual July 4th celebration for many years. When that’s over, he turns his thoughts to the Kiwanis’ Annual Christmas Toy Drive. Ed came to Montrose as a child when his father, Russell was transferred by PA Northeast Electric (now Penelec) from Susquehanna. A graduate of Montrose High, he served in the Army, then worked at Procter & Gamble, Mehoopany, for 27 years. Upon retirement, Ed was manager of the Montrose Country Club and Golf Course from 1995 to 2000, boosting its youth golf program, one reason for Montrose Area School District’s yearly competitive play. He returned to that management position again in 2007. When the Montrose Area Kiwanis Club was formed over 25 years ago, Ed was its first president. He’s now a big part of the Kiwanis-Lions-Rotary (KLR) July Fourth celebration, which bring thousands of visitors and locals to Montrose each year. Ed and a core group of organizers make it happen. “It’s a lot of work, but just before the parade starts, I take a ride in my golf cart along the parade route. When I see so many people waiting to watch, it’s all worth it,” Ed said. Ed is very proud of the Kiwanis’ affiliation with local high schools through ‘Key Clubs.’ The students perform community service under the guidance of the Kiwanis Club. “These are some good kids. I think we’ll be in good hands in the future,” Ed commented. At Holy Name of Mary Church, Montrose, Ed is a leader of the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) program, and a lector. The Kiwanis Christmas Toy Drive, which now operates under the umbrella of Susquehanna County Interfaith’s Christmas Bureau, has been dear to Ed’s heart since it began in 1974. “We used to deliver all the toys personally in the beginning,” he said. “Now we can’t do that. I don’t know if the need is greater, or that it’s more obvious today. I’ll never forget going to a home near town where the floors were dirt, because the floorboards had been torn up to burn for heat.” Ed credits his mother, the late Isabel DeWitt for his talent for community service. He learned by watching her run the local bowling program at ‘Toro’s’ in Montrose every Saturday for years. “She was amazing, “ he recalls. “With seven kids of her own, she still volunteered. And you can be sure we were all in church on Sunday, year in and year out.” Ed expressed his philosophy on community service this way, “It’s not a ‘me’ society when you’re busy giving back.” The public is invited honor Ed DeWitt as Montrose Area Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year, at 5:30 p.m. (dinner at 6 p.m.), Thursday, October 11, at the Montrose Bible Conference Dining Hall, Lake Avenue, Montrose. Tickets are available until October 6 at Butler’s Pantry, Lee’s Furniture and Craige’s Store, all in Montrose.
Harvest Of The Arts Seeks Local Talent A Fine Arts & Fine Crafts Show will be held on Saturday, October 6 and Sunday, October 7 in conjunction with the month-long Harvest of the Arts celebration in Susquehanna Depot, PA. Planned for that weekend is a variety of events that include a children’s indoor art show (so if you know any budding artists...), indoor crafts market, open air market, petting zoo, hot wings contest, pie contest, street musicians and theatrical players and many other activities. The Fine Arts & Fine Crafts Show will take place at the historic Starrucca House. There are many talented artists in Susquehanna County, and the purpose of this event is to showcase those diverse talents. You do not have to be a professional to participate, and there is no entry fee to show. This will be a juried show; due to space limitations we ask that artists limit their work to three entries. On Sunday evening there will be a cocktail reception and art auction. This will be a 50-50 auction, with the artist receiving half the final sales price and the other half funding various art programs in Susquehanna County. We are asking artists to donate to the auction; however, a donation is not necessary to exhibit. It is important to know that we are seeking all art talents in the area. You may not have ever exhibited before, but we want you to be a part of our show. If you know anyone who loves art and produces works of art, please tell them of our show. For additional information or to download an application, go to http://susquehannadepot.org/ or contact Jay Krimmel at (570) 675-2365.

Local Artists Featured At NTCA Exhibition Ken Ely, a native of Susquehanna County, will be one of nine featured artisans at the annual Northern Tier Cultural Alliance (NTCA) “From Heart to Hand” exhibition. This celebration of traditional and folk arts in the Northern Tier will be held in Susquehanna County during the month of October, at the Susquehanna Borough Hall, Erie Blvd., Susquehanna Depot, PA. “As a teenager, I began rebuilding fallen stone walls at Woodbourne Orchard in Dimock. Although I view my walls as utilitarian structures, I find a certain artfulness in fitting stones of varying sizes and shapes together to form a functional, orderly whole. It’s important to me to know that I create these structures in much the same way that our predecessors did, using simple human-powered tools.” The opening reception for NTCA “From Heart to Hand” exhibit will be Sunday, September 30 at the Borough Hall and the historic railroad station now known as the Starrucca House, 504 Front Street, Susquehanna, from 2 – 5 p.m. There is no charge.
