The second, later monthly meeting of the Blue Ridge School Board is usually a workshop, to prepare for a business session the week following. The meeting scheduled for November 24th was converted to a business session, perhaps because the one the following week, and the last scheduled for the year, is planned as a reorganization meeting.

Whatever. It was a business meeting, provisioned with delicious corn chowder containing tender chunks of chicken prepared by food service manager Linda Cole-Koloski, accompanied by thick slabs of homemade bread courtesy of Lorrie Detwiler, and lots of butter to slather thereon.

At the November 26th Susquehanna County Commissioners meeting Commissioners Hall and Giangrieco were present. The issue of immigration was a topic of discussion as well as the issue of replacing the Court House roof. Other topics included the appointment of five new, part time corrections officers.

At the prior meeting held by the commissioners they approved the development of 5 new part time corrections officers in order to cover time off by full time corrections officers. During this meeting the positions were filled. Per the recommendation of Warden Shelp the new officers were approved to begin this month with a six-month probationary period. Also approved for the Susquehanna Correctional facility was the purchase of a new gas dryer at the cost of $3,700 from the general fund. The amount of $17,999 will also be spent out of the general fund for purchasing a 2012 Ford Escape XLT 4x4 from Simons Rockwell in Hallstead to be used for county business.
