LWV Hosts Careers In The Arts Program The public is invited to explore the diverse world of arts careers with The League of Women Voters of Susquehanna County’s Uncommon Woman of 2008, Kathleen Harwood. Mark your calendar for Thursday, March 27, 7-9 p.m. at St Paul’s Episcopal Church Hall (Chestnut St. entrance), Montrose so that you don’t miss this opportunity. Ms. Harwood is a familiar face to the millions of loyal viewers of PBS’s Antiques Roadshow; she’s been evaluating paintings and drawings across America since the very first show was filmed in 1995 and is seen regularly on TV. Kathleen Harwood will be the featured speaker at the League of Women Voters Careers in the Arts program on March 27. At this event she will share with students, parents, grandparents, mentors, guidance counselors and all art enthusiasts, her insights about the many rewarding niche arts-related professions beyond teaching and creating art. These are unexplored, yet lucrative and challenging professions for those with Liberal Arts interests and education. She would like to urge young people especially to “take off the blinders,” regarding how one can participate and create within the arts world. This event is free to all, thanks to Ms. Harwood’s kindness and the LWVSC. Antiques Roadshow is only one aspect of Kathleen’s professional life; it provides the opportunity to travel around America with a wonderful group of colleagues, to meet incredible people, and to never lose that great sense of anticipation – just what is in that black plastic garbage bag? When she’s not “on the road,” she enjoys her home on Lake Montrose, her golden boys (dogs!), her gardens and the slower pace of life in the country. For LWV information, go to www.susquehannaCIN.net.
The Susquehanna County Commissioners announced the Courthouse will be closed on Friday, March 21 in observance of Good Friday. All court related offices will be available.
The Crown College Choir and Crown Chamber Choir, from Crown College, Minneapolis, MN, under the direction of Dr. David W. Donelson will be in concert on March 25, 7:00 p.m. at the Blue Ridge High School. The Crown choirs are known for their high level of musical excellence and precise artistry. Their repertoire includes a cappella classics as well as hymn arrangements and spirituals. They tour throughout the United States every year and made their European debut in May of 1997.
Early Childhood Day With SWB Yankees Baseball season is just a couple of months away. Once again, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees are teaming up with Susquehanna County CARES and other area non-profit groups to call attention to quality, early learning initiatives with a game-day celebration of youth. “Early Childhood Day with the SWB Yankees” is May 18 at PNC Field, Moosic. The triple-A baseball team will take on the Pawtucket Red Sox, but even before the first pitch at 1:30 p.m., the focus will be on children and their families. During a special pre-game ceremony, pre-school children dressed in career-themed costumes will march around the playing field in a “Parade to the Future.” Last year’s parade saw children dressed in everything from firefighter outfits to baseball uniforms. The youngsters represent the future of Pennsylvania. Their families are involved in quality early learning programs across Northeastern PA. Studies show a child who receives a quality start before the age of 5 has a greater chance of success later in life. The “Early Childhood Day” is also a time to focus on Pennsylvania’s Promise for Children, because every child is Pennsylvania’s future. Part of that promise means supporting key quality early learning initiatives such as: Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts: a $75 million dollar program providing free quality pre-kindergarten to 11,000 at-risk children across the Commonwealth. Keystone STARS: a continuous quality improvement initiative and rating system for early learning and school-age childcare programs. Studies show Keystone STARS has reversed a 10-year trend of declining quality in child care. Child Care Works Subsidized Child Care Program: this provides working families with assistance for child care costs and makes it possible for child care programs to serve children whose families could not otherwise afford care. Everyone is invited to share in the game-day excitement. A ticket includes admission to the game, reserved upper mezzanine group seating, and a limited edition SWB Yankees hat. There will also be several between-inning activities featuring children from Early Childhood Day’s special group seating section. Tickets must be purchased in advance by April 11. For more information about this special event or to order tickets, contact Stephnie Thornton from Susquehanna County CARES (Childcare, Agencies, Resources and Educational Services), (570) 465-5040 or via e-mail at stcares@epix.net.
Register Online For Great PA Cleanup Volunteers from PennDOT’s District 4-0, covering Lackawanna, Luzerne, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties, are preparing for Saturday, April 19, the Great Pennsylvania Cleanup. The statewide campaign, which runs from now through May 31, is a massive effort to remove litter from the state's roadways, parks, river banks and open spaces. Litter-Free School Zones will be featured again this year as a way of encouraging students to keep their school grounds litter-free and help raise the public's awareness of the problem of litter. Every school that registers as a participant in the "Litter-Free School Zone” program on the GPC website will be entered into a random drawing for one of five Home Depot Gift Cards worth $1,000 each. By visiting the official registration website, www.greatpacleanup.org, hosted by PA Cleanways, individuals may click on “Find an Event Near You” to determine where they may volunteer. Volunteers are welcome to register on the website for free cleanup supplies provided by sponsors and to register for prizes. PennDOT will provide work gloves and safety vests, and the Glad Corporation will provide free trash bags. The Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association will offer free landfill space to dispose of non-recyclable waste collected during the cleanup by providing fee waivers at area landfills from April 13 through May 3. These will be available following website registration. DEP has produced 300 Waste Tire Transporter Authorization cards to enable PennDOT county maintenance offices to transport the waste tires to local landfills that will accept said tires during the time of the cleanup campaign. Firestone Master Car Care Centers will accept discarded tires; links to participating centers are listed on the Great PA Cleanup website. Other corporate sponsors include Honda, Wrigley, Sparkle, Sam’s Club, Troy-Bilt, Scotts Miracle-Gro, Pepsi, Waste Management and Sprint. The Great Pennsylvania Cleanup is a comprehensive effort, involving local and state government, businesses, waste haulers, and environmental and civic groups. The state Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and PennDOT, in cooperation with Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Inc. (KPB) are sponsoring the Great Pennsylvania Cleanup. Drivers are urged to keep alert for PennDOT litter crews working along various sections of Interstates 80 and 81 and roadways throughout the area. PennDOT spends $10.1 million each year to remove litter from roadsides. Without the help of civic-minded individuals, groups and organizations, this number could easily be three or four times more, according to PennDOT. Volunteers for the Great Pennsylvania Cleanup or the Adopt-A-Highway program may contact the PennDOT District 4 coordinators. In Susquehanna County, call Connie Burgh, (570) 278-1171.
