They started and joined the event held at Montoursville High School. Team captain Robin Miller was diagnosed with MS in 2013, so they wanted to try and give back to the Central and Western PA chapter of the National MS Society. The walk was a 3.5 mile or 1.5 mile route through beautiful Montoursville. They proudly raised $2,097 as a team and appreciate all who helped. The money raised will support critical programs and services for over 14,000 people affected by MS in PA. Mrs. Miller said, "We are helping to move research forward to STOP MS in its tracks, RESTORE lost function, and END MS forever."

The Bradford County Library presents author Jim Remsen, discussing his historical novel "Visions of Teaoga" on Thursday, May 21, at 7:00 p.m.
"Visions of Teaoga" takes place in Tioga, northern Pennsylvania, where a tween girl visits a seemingly out-of-the-way town on a summer vacation and has close encounters with its amazing past. This saga blends history, suspense, and a coming-of-age journey. By George Yearick
Over the years I have attended a number of military funerals, including a recent one for my brother, Cmdr. H.F. Yearick who passed away two years ago. He was a Chaplain stationed in Tinian when the Enola Gay took off with the first A-bomb; in fact he conducted a prayer service for Capt. Tibbetts and the crew the night before. At his funeral which was full military, the only military aspect was a tape of Taps. I thought at the time if this had been in Troy there would have been the usual large group of Vets, all in uniform with rifles and flags appropriate for the event. These men perform whether it is 10 below in the winter or 1910 in the summer. My salute to you along with many, many other grateful citizens.
