Susquehanna County CARES (Childcare, Agencies, Resources and Educational Services) is teaming up with the Blue Ridge School District and the Blue Ridge National Honor Society to host a party full of events just for you. In honor of national “Week of the Young Child,” CARES invites children ages eight or younger to take part in the “CARES Young Children’s Fair,” April 16, from noon until 2 p.m. The small gym at the school will be full of free games, refreshments and activities designed for youngsters, as well as information and support for the adults who help in their development. Those who stop by may enjoy a special story time or craft making while also signing up to win some special gifts. This year, illusionist Jeremy Biesecker will wow the crowd with a special magic show at 1:00. That will be followed by the “parachute game” where young and old are encouraged to take hold of a huge parachute and see the fun that unfolds. This celebration is possible thanks to the support of the Blue Ridge School District’s teachers, staff, and National Honor Society students, the Endless Mountains Business Association and CARES dedicated volunteers. It is another way Susquehanna County CARES supports Pennsylvania’s Promise for Children, because every child is Pennsylvania’s future.

Alsheimer To Offer Deer Management Tips Two local outdoor groups, the Wayne/Lackawanna Forest Landowners Association and the Susquehanna Branch of the Quality Deer Management Association, are cooperating to bring outdoor writer Charles Alsheimer to the Carbondale High School on April 8 at 6 p.m. Mr. Alsheimer's writing, his stunning photography (more than 30 years of nature photography under his belt) and insights on nature have helped thousands of people to gain a new perspective about the whitetail deer. Mr. Alsheimer's photography, his personal management of his woodland/wildlife land, his understanding of the interaction of deer and their impact on the woodland environment make him a perfect speaker for everyone to listen to and to learn from. Mr. Alsheimer has helped deer hunters everywhere as they set out to improve the quality of the deer herd and deer hunting experience. He has helped fuel the emergence of quality deer management. His photography of whitetails brings forth the magnificence and subtleties of this great wild creature. Joe Preate, President of the Wayne/Lackawanna Forest Landowners Association, said "our group wanted to keep an awareness of good whitetail deer management as a tool for improved forest management efforts in the forefront of people’s minds. Mr. Alsheimer's outdoor photography, his personal management of his woodland/wildlife land, his understanding of the interaction of deer and their impact on the woodland environment make him a perfect speaker for everyone to listen to and to learn from." Mr. Preate further stated that this event is open to everyone, not just members of the two groups. Mr. Alsheimer’s writing and his personal research have helped fuel the emergence of the quality deer management movement. Articles such as “Grow Your Own” provide a great blueprint for those interested in starting QDM in their area. The above stated article is about his farm area and how he improved it and made it into a whitetail deer paradise which is located in Stueben County, New York. Mr. Alsheimer has helped deer hunters everywhere as they set out to improve the quality of the deer herd and the deer hunting experience. Jim Dovin, President of the Susquehanna Branch of the QDMA and Forest City area resident, notes that "Mr. Alsheimer's research and his use of science based improvement efforts makes this upcoming talk a must attend for everyone who wants to learn more about good wildlife management. If you are interested in quality deer management improvement, this talk, and the chance to personally talk with Mr. Alsheimer then mark this date and time on your calendar." Bob Wagner, Secretary for the branch, notes that "Mr. Alsheimer’s detailed photography will appeal to all ages. His talks about hunting tactics will give you something to think about your own methods of hunting." To make reservations for this April 8 event please call Joe Preate at 430-6316, Jim Dovin at 650-5967, or Bob Wagner at 278-9363.
Extension To Provide Money Matters Program UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - "Pennsylvania -Your Money Matters," a new educational program created by Penn State Extension, will be presented in three Web-based seminars from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m on April 6, 13 and 20. The program aims to help adults get a handle on basic money skills and concepts that can make the difference in whether they flourish or flounder financially when managing their personal and family finances. The April 6 webinar will cover spending, the April 13 session will address saving and the April 20 webinar will focus on credit. Registered participants will have access to the webinar recordings online for one month after each session is held. "The old cliché, 'It's not what you make, it's what you keep,' has some truth," said course originator Cathy Bowen, Penn State professor of agricultural and extension education. "A better version of this cliché is one that should be a personal mantra: 'It's not what you make, it's what you do with what you make.' Is your money working hard for you, or are you just working hard for money and not taking the steps within your control to maximize the use of your earnings?" To learn more or to register for "Pennsylvania - Your Money Matters," visit http://guest.cvent.com/d/5dqgl2 online, or call (877) 489-1398 toll-free.

On Saturday, April 30, the Girl Scouts will be at the Mountain View Elementary School from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. What for?

Help these little hands in making their project a success. Take a few minutes and sort out all of those used towels and blankets which you could donate to this cause.

Program Upcoming: Nursing Home Admission Do you have aging parents and want to get information now so that you are prepared for nursing home placement? An information session on Nursing Home Admission and Medicaid is being sponsored by Christ Episcopal Church (located at the corner of Dundaff and Delaware Streets in Forest City) on Tuesday, April 26, beginning at 6:30 p.m. This is a free information session and is open to the public. It is never too early to start planning for the “what if’s” in life. This session is important for everyone. Having to place a loved one in a nursing facility is one of the most difficult decisions in one’s life. The cost of nursing home care is staggering to most people. Medicaid long-term medical care is provided for more than 60 million low-income individuals in the United States. Medicaid covers approximately 68% of all nursing home patients in America. General information will be provided on the following: where to find assistance; how to apply - in person, on line, by phone; basic information concerning eligibility for Nursing Home Medicaid; what “spend down” means, and other topics related to Nursing Home Admissions. Remember that Medicaid is a different program than Medicare. You need to remember that having a low income does not necessarily qualify you for Nursing Home Medicaid Assistance.
