Food For Fines At The Library

The Susquehanna County Library system is tightening up its regulations for people paying down large fines. To ease this transition, and to also help less fortunate families as the holidays approach, all four locations (Forest City, Hallstead-Great Bend, Montrose, and Susquehanna) will be accepting nonperishable food donations as payment for fines from Wednesday, November 19 through Saturday, November 29.

During "Food for Fines," any overdue library item, no matter how long ago it was due, can be returned with at least one item of non-perishable food and there will be no money owed. Old fines for library items that were already returned late can be paid off with one food item per $5 owed. All food must be brought into the library during business hours – nothing should be placed in the book drop. This is the time for anyone who's been procrastinating or feeling guilty about late items to round them up and bring them in! "Previous Food for Fines drives have been a great success," says Administrator/Librarian Susan Stone. "Patrons can feel good about having a clear record and helping the hungry, and our local food banks benefit too!"

“Werewolf” Loose At Blue Ridge School!

Call the game warden! Call the pound!  A werewolf is loose on the stage at the Blue Ridge School District in New Milford.  Fifty Middle School students will be performing Tim Kelly’s full-length musical production of “You Ain’t Nothin’ But A Werewolf” on Friday, November 21 and Saturday, November 22. The show is an action-packed musical, full of 17 songs choreographed in the 1950’s style of Elvis and Grease.  Chet Lumpcrass, played by Austin French, is the rock and roll bully of Riverdale High. He and his girl Mamie, played by Jenna Bennett, rule the school and stage and have been signed for a recording deal with Shellac Records’ Miss Daisy Plant, played by Annie Davern.  The poor Rupert Lydecker, played by Ian Robinson, is the school “nerd” with  a major inferiority complex. After an encounter with Chet in the hallway, Rupert tells his friend, Claudia Dalton, played by Jessica Jhingoor, he is going to the lab of the evil Dr. Murdock Dangerfield, portrayed Adam Collins, to have him make him into a different person. Well, the doctor’s assistant Boris, Brad Palmatier, mixes up the vials and Rupert becomes a rock and roll singing werewolf, who turns into the new star in town. 

To see how things unfold, make sure you are at this exciting and entertaining production put on by a group of very talented students.  The musical is under the direction of Mr. Jeff Burkett and Miss Amy Zakarauskas. Tickets are on sale at the door, $5 for adults and $3 for students/senior citizens. For information, check the Blue Ridge School District website at www.brsd.org or phone 465-3141, ext. 121.
