Late winter in the outdoors can be a difficult time for wildlife especially if the snow is deep, the ground is coated in ice or it is extremely cold. Animals use up their reserves of fat at a faster rate when the aforementioned conditions exist. This time of year is when outdoorsmen/women, landowners, and habitat managers can help out wildlife while improving the habitat conditions and the health of existing wild/semi-wild apple trees. The Susquehanna Branch of the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA) will be providing a free opportunity to learn about and participate in an apple tree pruning and daylighting mini field day. Members of the QDMA branch and club will talk about, demonstrate and then help attendees prune, daylight the apple trees (clear the area around the trees) and build brush piles (winter habitat for birds and small mammals). Learn whether to, how much to and when to put down lime and fertilizer around the trees. This will take place on Saturday, March 6, from 9 to 11 a.m. Adults and children are encouraged to come out in the outdoors to the well managed wildlife and small farm property of Matt and Denise Sellers. Their property is located about two to three miles southeast of South Montrose on the Meshoppen Creek Road - Watch for signs. For more specific directions and information, contact Matt Sellers at 278-9358 or Bob Wagner at 278-9363.
The Mountain View Garden Club will meet March 16 at the Clifford Twp. Volunteer Fire Hall beginning at 7 p.m. The LeRaysville Cheese Factory will be the guest speaker.

Pickett Announces March Office Hours TOWANDA - Rep. Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna) has announced the dates and hours for her monthly satellite office locations for the month of March. "Because the 110th District encompasses parts of three counties, I believe offering satellite office hours helps bring state government a bit closer to the people I represent in Susquehanna and Sullivan counties," Pickett said. "The office in Lawton is a new addition to my outreach efforts, and I am hopeful residents will take advantage of the wide array of services my staff can provide to help find out more about government programs or to cut through government red tape." Staff will be available at the Susquehanna County satellite office on Wednesday, March 10, and Wednesday, March 24, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. That office is located on Route 706 at Flynn's Consignment Shop in Lawton. The site was formerly Cavallaro's grocery store. The location in Lawton is new, as Pickett previously offered satellite office hours at another location in Susquehanna County. Pickett operates her main full-time offices at 321 Main St., Towanda, phone (570) 265-3124 and 106 West Packer Ave., Sayre, phone (570) 888-9011. Staff can help provide information the following: driver's license and vehicle registration applications and renewals; assistance with PennDOT paperwork (lost cards, changes, corrections, special registration plates, vanity plates, and temporary placards for disabled persons); PACE and PACENET applications for seniors; property tax and rent rebate applications; voter registration forms and absentee ballot applications; state tax forms; student aid applications; free state maps, state park information, and PA Vacation Guides; copies of legislation; tours of the State Capitol; referrals to agencies to resolve state-related matters. More information is available 24 hours a day on Pickett's Web site at RepPickett.com.
Spring Revival Services At Stateline Evangelical Spring Revival Services will be conducted at the Stateline Evangelical Wesleyan Church, located one mile North of Great Bend Pennsylvania on Rt. 11. Services will begin Sunday, March 7 and will continue through Sunday, March 14, each evening at 7:30 p.m. and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays.
The guest Evangelist for these services will be the Rev. Sheldon Stephens (pictured above) from Morgantown, Indiana. The Stephen’s family will be providing special singing during the services. Rev. Stephens preached in Great Bend at the August 2002 Tent Meeting and the church is pleased that he is able to return to the area for this occasion. Pastor Rev. Donald D. Snedeker, along with the members of the church family, extend a warm and cordial invitation to the public, as well as area pastors and their churches, to attend the services. For more information about these services call 1-570-222-3600 or 1-570-879-2699.

Mrs. Mary Lee Fitzgerald will welcome the congregation. The lessons will be read by Mr. Paul Gere. Mr. Thomas Welch, of New Milford, will provide special music.

He taught vocal music in Adams County, Pennsylvania for nine years before returning to New Milford. A light supper will follow the lay-led service. Everyone is welcome.
