If you are unable to attend and wish to make a contribution to promote the programs listed above, please make a check payable to the United Way of Susquehanna County and indicate the program in the memo section of your check.
Madigan To Hold Local Outreaches Harrisburg – State Sen. Roger A. Madigan (R-23) will host outreach events in October 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 October 19 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. No appointment is necessary. 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.
The public is invited to attend a free League of Women Voters of Susquehanna County “Candidates’ Forum” featuring the six Susquehanna County Commissioner candidates. It will be held on Wednesday, October 17, 7-9 p.m. in the main courtroom of the County Courthouse, Public Avenue, Montrose. Candidates Leon Allen (D), Mike Giangrieco (R), Tom Jurista (I), Roberta Kelly (Write-In), Jeffrey I. Loomis (R) MaryAnn Warren (D) have all been invited and are expected to attend. The format will allow each candidate to make a brief prepared statement, and then to respond to six questions which they will have received two weeks in advance. These have been gathered from League members and others who have expressed an interest, and they are designed to give a good overview of voter concerns and key issues. This should take about an hour. The forum will then be opened to public questions, which can be submitted on index cards gathered from the audience. As usual in the League format, candidate responses will be timed and a moderator will insure that each candidate has an equal opportunity to express his or her views. The addition this year of one Independent and one Write-In candidate on the ballot means that voters will have more choices than in most previous general elections. Voters will be asked to vote for any two candidates. This forum is a good way to ensure that you arrive at the November 6 General Election ballot box with your questions answered, acquainted with each candidate, informed about local issues, and ready to make your choices. Some of the issues on the minds of county voters include financial management, roads and infrastructure, a countywide energy policy, economic development, tourism, commissioner cooperation, and any possible commissioner role in the New Milford gravel pit controversy. You may have others to propose. For LWVSC information, go to www.SusquehannaCIN.net.

Civic Club Sponsors Analysis Program For nearly 20 years, the Hallstead-Great Bend Civic Club has sponsored the Annual Blood Analysis program also known as AMBA. It was the first of its kind in the area, and continues today by providing high quality laboratory results. The value of such testing is undeniable. Early detection of disease dramatically improves the rate of success in managing and curing disease, and in reducing mortality rates. The AMBA Program is designed to include tests which assist in the early detection of the leading health risks in North America, including coronary heart disease, glucose intolerance and diabetes, kidney and liver disease and anemia. Optional tests, priced separately, are available and include prostate, thyroid, colon, and cardio CRP. There will be a sponsor handling fee per person. Make an appointment by calling 1-800-234-8888. Then, on October 20, come to the American Legion Post on New York Ave in Hallstead and have the tests done; you will be glad you did.
