Members of the Beta Rho Chapter of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society International (DKG) have been contributing items for baskets to be given to support teachers early in their career. This international project of the Society is called SEE (Support Early Educators). The project was selected because statistics now show that early career educators are leaving the teaching profession after only three to five years, even before the covid crisis. The stress on teachers now is greater than ever before. Hopefully, with strong support from long-time career educators as well as retired teachers, new teachers will feel their positive support.
At the recent chapter meeting at the Susquehanna County Library in Montrose, a free drawing was done for a basket of supplies. This is a regular practice at every chapter meeting. The winner of the basket at each meeting then finds a new teacher in a surrounding district and gives the basket to the teacher early in their career. Member Carol Davis won the basket and chose to give it to a long-term substitute at HANDS of Wyoming County, Mehoopany Preschool. Carol is the retired director of the Keystone College Children’s Center and board member of HANDS of Wyoming County.

New teacher, Briah Giberson, was the lucky recipient of the basket of supplies. When asked about her background she shared some history. She graduated from Tunkhannock Area High School in 2021 and continued her education at Wilkes University where she earned a degree in early childhood and elementary education in May, 2025. She is currently working as an educator at the preschool and coaching varsity cheer leading at Tunkhannock Area High School.
National Agriculture Day was observed Tuesday, March 24th, an opportunity for another little celebration at Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH).
Pictured (l-r) are: Julia Pollan, Jordan Johnson, and baby Josie
As part of the day’s recognition, the Wayne/Pike Farm Bureau presents a basket of local products and farm related gifts and goodies to the family of the first baby born at WMH’s New Beginnings Birthing Suites on National Ag Day. The precious little one is Josie Johnson, pictured with her parents, Julia Pollan and Jordan Johnson of Hawley. It was a welcome surprise that included locally made maple syrup, honey, cheese and more, brought to them by Bonnie Latourette, representing the Wayne/Pike Farm Bureau.
National Ag Day is about recognizing and celebrating the contributions of agriculture to our everyday lives. It’s a day to recognize America’s farming families, all their hard work, and the goods they produce.

As we move toward Memorial Day, the American Red Cross calls on people to schedule their blood or platelet donation appointments now to help medical centers stay ready and respond quickly to emergencies. Having blood products immediately available is a key part of summer safety.
With millions of Americans expected to hit the road around Memorial Day and spend time boating, swimming, camping and enjoying the outdoors, the risk of traumatic accidents rises. Blood and platelets on hospital shelves help meet the demand when people experience critical injuries and massive bleeding. During Trauma Awareness Month, the Red Cross highlights this need by asking donors of all blood types and those giving platelets to give now to support all patients who count on transfusions for care.
Book your time to give lifesaving blood or platelets now. To schedule, visit RedCrossBlood.org, call 1-800-RED-CROSS or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App.
Those who come to give by May 31, 2026, will receive an oversized Red Cross beach towel, while supplies last.
All who come to give June 1-28, 2026, will receive a $15 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice, plus be automatically entered for a chance to win one of two $7,500 gift cards. See RedCrossBlood.org/June for details.
A local upcoming blood donation opportunity is as follows: May 26, from 10:00am - 3:00pm, at the Historical Society and Free Library Association, 458 High School Road, Montrose.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced investments of more than $74 million in 72 projects in 38 counties to improve community resources and public accessibility around the Commonwealth. The projects are funded as part of the 2025 Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TASA) of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Surface Block Grant Program.
In this round of funding, the Shapiro Administration is investing in projects to construct pedestrian and bicycle facilities, improve access to public transportation, create safe routes to schools, create trail projects that serve a transportation purpose, or enhance safety for vulnerable travelers. Under the Shapiro Administration, more than $123.6 million in TASA funds have been invested in projects around the state.
“Whether it's a walk to school or a ride to the office, how you get there is the most critical part of any trip,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “Thanks to this investment, communities around the Commonwealth are creating and improving options for pedestrians, cyclists and transit users.”
Notable awarded projects in Susquehanna County include: Rail-Trail Council of NEPA, Inc: $1,488,386 for a four-mile D&H Rail Trail improvement project traversing Ararat and Thompson Townships and Thompson Borough to connect to projects underway in Thompson Borough. Improvements will include drainage improvements, resurfacing, a trailhead, access control and signage.
A list of awards for the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Projects is available on the program webpage.
PennDOT received 152 applications in this round, requesting over $173 million. Selections were made based on established criteria such as safety benefits, cost effectiveness, readiness for implementation, impact on low-income or minority communities, statewide or regional significance, integration of land use and transportation decision making, collaboration with stakeholders, and leveraging of other projects or funding. Applications were reviewed by representatives from PennDOT, the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and the Metropolitan and Rural Planning Organizations.

One of the many highlights of the annual Montrose July 4th Celebration hosted by the local Kiwanis and Lions Community Service Clubs is the Patriotic Parade. 2026 will mark the 49th consecutive year the two clubs have presented this festive event. This will be a very special year as we honor and commemorate the 250th Anniversary of America’s Independence.
In recognition of this special event, the theme for this year has been designated as “America250 – Moments In History.” The Patriotic Parade will step off at 11:00am beginning at the start of Grow Avenue and will include marching units, bands, classic and antique vehicles, floats and other forms of entertaining units.
A special feature of the parade will be those floats that depict the theme for this year, “Moments in History.” In order to encourage organizations to enter a float depicting the theme, a $200 cash donation will be provided in order to reimburse some of the expenses to design and build a float. In addition, two prizes of $200 each will be presented to those two floats who are judged by the Parade Committee Judges to be the “Best in Parade.”
Guidelines for each float in order to be eligible for the donation and to be an entrant in the Float Judging Contest include the following:
In order to participate in the Patriotic Parade, all entries must pre-register no later than Friday, June 26, 2026. You will not be allowed to participate in the parade if you do not pre-register. Pre-register at: www.montrosepajuly4th.com.
The total number of parade participants may need to be limited in order to control the total time for the entire parade. The Parade Committee will be responsible for making the final decision for all participants. The committee will notify, in advance, any registration application not in the parade line-of-march.
A special place of honor at the front of the parade will be reserved for those “Hometown Heroes” who have served our community and nation in the Military or as an Emergency Services Volunteer. In order to be a part of this aspect of the parade, all you need to do is show up at the starting point on Saturday, July 4th.

In addition, the parade Grand Marshals will be the Susquehanna County Heritage Trails Committee. This group’s mission is committed to preserving, interpreting and celebrating our county’s rich history. It consists of a total of 20 organizations and sponsors whose main goal is to ensure that Susquehanna County’s stories are not only preserved, but lived, shared and carried forward for generations to come.

This Mailbox Improvement Week, May 18-24, 2026, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is reminding Americans everywhere to inspect, maintain, and make any needed upgrades to their mailboxes to help keep the mail flowing. Through regular, simple mailbox maintenance akin to Spring Cleaning, customers can help their carriers ensure mail, packages, and special deliveries arrive on time, safely, and securely.
“Your mailbox is the gateway to connection, bringing everything from birthday wishes from loved ones to vital documents to your doorstep,” said Postmaster General David Steiner. “A well-maintained mailbox isn’t just about curb appeal; it’s a partnership in efficiency and precision, helping our carriers continue to deliver for you – every day.”
Each year, USPS designates the third week of May as Mailbox Improvement Week to encourage homeowners with box-on-post-delivery to examine and, where necessary, improve their mailbox appearance and functionality. Regular maintenance not only helps streamline postal operations but enhances the beauty and safety of entire neighborhoods.
Fix Up Your Mailbox In A Snap
The yearly initiative calls attention to the wear and tear that occurs, often without customers’ awareness. Some of the most common fixes homeowners may need to make include:
Security Is A Shared Mission
USPS partners with the US Postal Inspection Service to keep postal employees, the mail stream, and the American public safe through education, awareness, laws that protect our nation’s mail network. Here’s how you can help keep your mail safe:
If you know of someone who committed an act of mailbox vandalism, report it to Postal Inspectors at 1-877-876-2455.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful are inviting environmentally-conscious 10th through 12th grade students to help preserve Pennsylvania’s natural resources through the Young Ambassadors of Pennsylvania program.
The program empowers young Pennsylvanians to train and learn from leaders across the private sector, state government, local media, and Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful to protect Pennsylvania’s environment and build leadership and problem-solving skills.
Applicants should be passionate about the environment and committed to restoring and protecting Pennsylvania’s ecological landscape through volunteerism and leadership.
“Pennsylvania’s ecological beauty and sustainability come from hard work on the ground level,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “Through litter clean-up and prevention, stream restoration, and empowering their friends and neighbors, the next generation of environmental leaders are setting the standard for the rest of us.”
“We are honored to offer the Young Ambassadors Program in partnership with PennDOT for a fifth year. Each student brings unique experiences and tremendous passion for creating meaningful change in their communities and across the Commonwealth, and we look forward to welcoming a new group of inspiring young leaders,” said Shannon Reiter, President of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. “Our goal is to spark a sense of community ownership while highlighting the importance of working with local residents, businesses, and organizations to identify issues and build solutions together. We are grateful for our continued partnership with PennDOT, which allows us to expand opportunities for students and help them develop the essential skills needed for long term success.”
Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful will provide education and training to program participants on topics related to the impact of litter on roadways, litter prevention, waste management and recycling, civic engagement and public policy, volunteer management, and social media marketing. In addition, Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful has partnered with industry leaders, Columbia Gas - NiSource Charitable Foundation and Dow to provide Job Shadow Days to select Ambassadors.
Ambassadors will serve a one-year term from September 2026 through May 2027 and represent and uphold the mission and values of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful.
Program requirements include:
Applications are being accepted April 1 through June 10. Students will be chosen through a competitive application process.

Join the Susquehanna County Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution as we celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary with these events that led up to the American Revolution and culminated in the Declaration of Independence:
Who was Thomas Paine? What was “Common Sense”? How did this British citizen help promote our war for independence?
This column previously noted that the American colonists were divided on the question of separating from England. The greatest number of Americans originally opposed independence even though they resisted King George’s policies. They believed the differences could be remedied. After all, family is family. Arguments and differences are to be expected, tolerated, resolved, and forgiven. Right?
In early 1776, an Englishman living in America wrote a stirring pamphlet called Common Sense. It read in part, “…oh ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose not only tyranny but the Tyrant, stand forth! Oh, receive the fugitive and prepare in time an asylum for mankind.”
Parts of Common Sense went further than many colonial beliefs, but it gained favor with patriots. His last line, “The Free and Independent States of America” was a daring suggestion and solution for many. Others cringed at the rhetoric.
King George in October 1775, had proclaimed neither leniency or mercy for “desperate conspirators” and ordered Hessian mercenaries to stamp out the rebellion. Many colonists could not believe or accept the fact that their king had hired foreigners to kill them. It was obvious that no justice could be expected from King George on their behalf. This ruling strengthened John Adams, Christopher Gadsden, and others’ position that political bonds had to be severed.
France and Spain, hoping to embarrass and take revenge for earlier British victories aided the colonies by sending arms, munition, and gunpowder to the colonial “rebels.”
In early spring 1776, Congress appointed Thomas Jefferson to prepare a “resolution announcing American Independence.” In many minds the situation had progressed from heated to irreversible.
In short, Paine’s political propaganda booklet was highly successful. It sold 100,000 copies in just three months. Calling King George III a “royal ruffian,” advocating colonial independence, and the complete separation from England were rally demands for many. He suggested that “the sun never shined on a cause of greater value.” His words thrilled, scared or enraged Americans, depending on their convictions. The original goal to defend America was rapidly assuming a new goal, untried successfully in world history – independence!
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) are reminding Pennsylvanians to put down the phone while driving or they will be forced to pay a fine starting June 5, 2026. In 2024, Governor Josh Shapiro signed Paul Miller’s Law, which prohibits the use of hand-held devices while driving, even while stopped temporarily due to traffic, a red light, or other delays. Drivers can still use their phones to alert authorities in the event of an emergency and use hands-free technology to make phone calls, use a GPS, and listen to music.
Beginning June 5, 2026, drivers convicted of using a hand-held device while driving will pay a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees. Pennsylvania also enforces a texting-while-driving ban that prohibits drivers from using mobile devices to send, read, or write text-based communications while their vehicle is in motion. Additionally, depending on the circumstances, drivers who violate Paul Miller’s Law or the texting-while-driving ban may also be convicted of Homicide by Vehicle or Aggravated Assault by Vehicle, and given increased sentences.
“Your choices behind the wheel can change lives forever,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “Distracted driving is not only dangerous, but also illegal. This National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, we are asking all drivers to commit to putting the phone away while driving.”
“As the warning period for Paul Miller’s Law concludes, troopers will begin issuing citations to drivers using handheld devices behind the wheel,” said Pennsylvania State Police Acting Commissioner Lieutenant Colonel George L. Bivens. “Distracted driving is dangerous and significantly increases the risk of crashes. Just a moment of inattention can lead to life-altering consequences. The PSP urges all motorists to put their phones down, stay focused, and help keep Pennsylvania's roadways safe.”
The law is named for Paul Miller Jr., who was tragically killed in a crash with a tractor trailer in 2010 in Monroe County as the result of a distracted driver who reached for their phone while driving. Since Paul’s death, Eileen Miller - Paul’s mother - has become a national advocate for stronger laws to curb distracted driving.
“Nearly 15 years ago, two Dunmore state troopers knocked on my door to tell me that my son was killed,” said Miller. “My son did everything right – he was killed by someone else’s unsafe choices behind the wheel. This law is for every family in Pennsylvania that doesn't have to experience two state troopers knocking on their door to tell them that their loved one was killed by distracted driving.”
According to PennDOT data, in 2024 there were 9,950 crashes involving a distracted driver, resulting in more than 6,000 injuries and 49 fatalities. Distracted driving crash data is believed to be underreported due to many drivers’ reluctance to admit to being distracted at the time of a crash.
If you are the driver, follow these steps for a safe drive:
Cell phone use is not the only distraction while driving. Anything that takes your attention away from driving, your eyes off the road, or your hands off the wheel is a distraction. Driver behavior is the leading factor in 83% of the approximately 1,100 fatal crashes that occur annually on Pennsylvania roadways. These behaviors include driving distracted, impaired, aggressive, and others.
For more information on distracted driving, visit www.pa.gov/dotsafety.
PennDOT’s media resources web page offers social media-sized graphics for numerous transportation-related campaigns, including safety topics such as aggressive driving, speeding, distracted driving, and seat belts for organizations, community groups, or others who share safety information with their stakeholders.

This week, President Trump signed Congressman Dan Meuser’s (PA-09) legislation, H.R. 2066, the Investing in All of America Act, into law. This legislation will increase the capital available to small businesses, especially those in rural and underserved communities, manufacturing, or the critical technology sector, through Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs). SBICs raise private capital, which is then matched with leverage by the SBA, allowing them to invest directly in small businesses. Crucially, the SBIC program operates at no subsidy cost to the American taxpayer.
Over the past two decades, SBIC-backed businesses have generated 3 million new jobs and supported an additional 10.5 million jobs. Last year alone, SBICs injected more than $8 billion into small businesses nationwide, including $412.3 million directed toward Pennsylvania small businesses. Despite these successes, recent studies indicate that less than 20% of SBIC investment reaches low- to middle-income communities. The Investing in All of America Act seeks to close this gap and drive investment capital to areas that need it most.
To achieve this, the bill allows investments in rural and low-income areas, manufacturing and critical technologies to be excluded from an SBIC’s leverage cap, making more capital available to businesses in these key sectors. It also restores an inflation adjustment for SBIC leverage limits, ensuring the program’s strength keeps pace with market conditions.
Manufacturing remains a vital part of America’s economic foundation, with 99% of manufacturers classified as small businesses. The Investing in All of America Act also aligns with the Trump Administration’s priority of rebuilding America’s manufacturing base by directing more private capital toward domestic producers and the industries critical to our economic and national security. By enhancing the SBIC Program, this will help small manufacturers modernize, scale, and create high-quality jobs in communities across the country.
“As someone who spent more than 20 years helping grow a small business into a larger business, I understand firsthand the challenges entrepreneurs face when trying to secure capital,” said Congressman Meuser. “This legislation will drive further investment into the hands of small businesses in crucial sectors of the economy and areas that are often overlooked without any additional burden on American taxpayers. I’m pleased that we’ve secured this important bipartisan victory for America’s small business owners, and I’m grateful to my colleagues and President Trump for helping us invest in the communities that need it most.”
“A challenge I hear repeatedly from small businesses in West Michigan is their ability to access capital, and our commonsense legislation directly addresses that,” said Congresswoman Scholten. “The Investing in All of America ensures Main Street businesses, especially those in rural and low-income areas, are not left behind by the federal programs designed to help them, and I’m thrilled the President has signed it into law. I look forward to seeing its positive impacts for years to come, and I’m grateful for all of the bipartisan work that went into its passage.”
“Rep. Meuser's Investing in All of America Act of 2025 is a huge win for Main Street America. Small businesses across the nation and in critical technology sectors will benefit from increased funding from the SBIC program, which in turn will fuel small business growth,” said Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), Chairman of the House Committee on Small Business. “I thank President Trump for signing this bill into law and continuing his America First agenda. I commend Rep. Meuser for continuing to fight for the small business owners who are the backbone of our economy.”
“Powered by private investment, the Investing in All of America Act will expand the SBIC’s capacity to power our nation’s industrial resurgence by getting more capital to entrepreneurs in rural communities,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. “This means faster scaling, more innovation, and the ability to compete in the critical industries that will strengthen America’s economic and national security. I applaud Congressman Meuser and his colleagues for advancing this important legislation, and I am grateful to President Trump for signing it into law for America’s small business owners and workers.”
“Today is a great day for America’s small businesses,” said SBIA President Brett Palmer. “The Investing in All of America Act is proof that when policy is built around what works – investing in small businesses, supporting domestic manufacturing, and strengthening communities without costing taxpayers a dime – Washington can come together and get it done. We thank President Trump for signing this bill into law, and we’re grateful to Representative Meuser for his hard work and leadership on this legislation.”
The Investing in All of America Act passed both chambers of Congress unanimously and was signed into law by President Donald Trump on May 19.
