In 2018 and in 2019 SPARK, our local community action group, hosted two very successful Earth Day events at Triangle Park. Everyone had fun and hopefully learned something they didn’t know before about our planet. In 2020 we were not able to do a live Earth Day event, so we decided that members of our group would write letters to Mother Earth to be submitted to the Express. It was not the way we wanted to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, but with the pandemic, it had to suffice. We looked forward to Earth Day 2021. But again, that is not going to happen. So some of us are writing to the Express again for this Earth Day.

LOCK HAVEN Stacey Karchner, a Family Recovery Life Coach through the BALM (Be A Loving Mirror) Family Recovery Program will be teaching a FREE online course for those in Clinton/Lycoming Counties who are affected by another’s substance use disorder/addiction.
The course can be taken from home/online through Zoom and is sponsored by River Valley Health and Dental. BALM evolved around the fact that those with Substance Use Disorder are human beings and deserving of love just as any other person is. As a family member it’s important to be a model of recovery, regain peace and calm, believe that the loved one can get well, and learn only to contribute to recovery.
