Hamilton-Gibson Production Winter Theatre Arts Camps for kids in grades 3-9
2024-01-17 - 2024-03-09 | Clark Wood Elementary School, 110 Addison Hill Rd # A,, Elkland, PA, 16920, United States
Hamilton-Gibson Productions announces its after school Winter Theatre Arts Camps in Elkland and Wellsboro for kids in grades 3-9. The two camps will be presenting the musical “Junie B. Jones JR” based on the beloved books by Barbara Park.
The camps are free and open to students attending public or private schools or who are home schooled.
Registration forms will soon be available at schools throughout Tioga County or can be found now on the hamiltongibson.org website or can be obtained by calling the HG office at 570-724-2079 or emailing hamgib@gmail.com.
The first after school camp is for third through ninth graders who reside in the Northern Tioga School District. It will be held for 12 days at the Clark Wood Elementary School at 110 Addison Hill Road In Elkland beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 17 and continuing on selected dates through Thursday, Feb. 1 with Pay-What-You-Can performances for the public at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 2 and 3.
The second after school camp is for third through ninth graders who reside in the Southern Tioga and Wellsboro Area school districts. It will be held for 14 days at the Deane Center at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 14 and continuing on selected days through Thursday, March 7 with Pay-What-You-Can performances for the public at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 8 and 9.
Campers will rehearse and perform “Junie B. Jones,” a delightful adaptation of four of Barbara Park’s best-selling books created specifically for Broadway Junior performers.
The campers will be taught choreography, how to project their voices when speaking and singing and how to create a character – all while having fun. Among the show’s many songs are “You Can Be My Friend,” “Lucille Camille Chenille,” “Show and Tell” and “Sheldon Potts’ Halftime Show.”
Join Junie B. on her first day of first grade, where many changes are in store. Junie’s best friend Lucille has found new best friends and Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. While in Mr. Scary’s class, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and may need glasses. Add in a friendly cafeteria lady, an intense kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting.
Featuring many lovable characters and fun-filled songs, “Junie B. Jones JR” will capture the audience’s and performer’s hearts just as the books captivated an entire generation of students.
Campers are expected to be at all scheduled rehearsals. The basic times are 3:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The Winter Theatre Arts Camps are offered at no cost to campers due to generous grants from the Deerfield Charitable Trust and UPMC Wellsboro. Each camper will receive a tee shirt, script, rehearsal cd and instruction.

Martin Luther King Jr program
2024-01-15 19:00 | Wellsboro High School, 227 Nichols Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
At 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 15, two area choral groups, two soloists and local speakers will explore the mission of Martin Luther King, Jr. at the Wellsboro High School Auditorium at 227 Nichols Street in Wellsboro. Donations �will be accepted at the door.

“Area citizens will share short insights of ways we can connect with others with kindness and respect,” Putnam said. They include newly elected Tioga County Commissioners Shane Nickerson, Sam VanLoon and Marc Rice; The Rev. Dr. A. Michele Somerville; Candice Chase; Lenore Hosier and Roger Wagner.

The Hamilton-Gibson Treble Choir will sing “Hold Fast to Dreams” with words by Langston Hughes and the spiritual “Over My Head.” Local a cappella group Pine Pitch will sing “Because All Men Are Brothers” and ‘Imagine.” Singers Logan Route and Molly Cary, both of Wellsboro, will perform solos. �

Dr. King was an American Baptist minister, a nonviolent activist and the most visible spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement from 1955 until his assassination in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4,1968. He led the fight against segregation to gain equal rights under United States law for � African Americans.�

Both houses of Congress passed the bill to establish Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in 1983 and President Reagan signed it into law on Nov. 20 of that year. This federal holiday has been observed to mark King’s birthday, his life and achievements on the third Monday of January each year since 1986. This year, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is Jan. 15. � �

“Sadly, intolerance of anyone different from ourselves seems to just be part of our human nature,” said Thomas Putnam, Hamilton-Gibson Productions artistic director. “Because Tioga County is isolated in many ways and homogenous in many others, we find that lack of exposure to other races and cultural traditions may further this intolerance of the ‘other.’

“Our goal is to generate dialogue between ourselves and others–especially those we disagree with–in order to become more open and hospitable, and to honor the dignity of every woman, man, and child we encounter. It all boils down to basic human kindness, and the universal intention of treating others as we would like to be treated,” said Putnam.

2024-01-13 - 2024-02-04 | Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce an opening reception for a new Atrium Gallery exhibit for January 2024. “Canvas and Clay: Crafting Natures Carbon Story Through Fungi” will be an exhibit of acrylic paintings and clay sculptures by children participating in This Is My Quest, Inc’s outdoor programs. This unique showcase blends the intricate beauty of fungi, a critical component in Earth’s carbon cycle, with the creative expressions of canvas and clay. Join us in appreciating nature’s unseen heroes through the eyes of our future conservationists and artists. This exhibit will be on display in the Atrium Gallery from January 13 through February 4. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 13th from 2-4PM. Light refreshments will be served at the reception, which is free and open to the public.
“Canvas and Clay” is more than an art exhibit; it’s a conversation starter about the importance of all elements of nature in the balance of our planet. This exhibit not only celebrates the artistic talents of our youth but also serves as an educational journey into the microscopic world of fungi and their impact on our environment. Through their art, TIMQ’s young artists explore the pivotal role of fungi in our ecosystems, highlighting their fascinating fruits, textures, and colors. Each piece tells a part of a carbon story, illustrating how these often-overlooked organisms contribute to carbon sequestration and soil health. Many of the items in this exhibit will be for sale. The proceeds of the sales will go back to TIMQ’s junior board to fund future projects for the children.

Mary Wise’s “Art From My Heart” Exhibit
2024-01-13 - 2024-02-04 | Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce an opening reception for a new Main Gallery exhibit for January 2024, Mary Wise’s “Art From My Heart.” Mary is best known for her intricately painted Christmas ornaments, but she also works in glass, clay, fiber, altered books and more. Join us in celebrating a retrospective of a lifetime’s worth of artwork by Mary at the opening reception on Saturday, January 13th from 2-4PM. Family, friends, and former students are all cordially invited. Light refreshments will be served at the reception, which is free and open to the public. Mary will give an artist’s talk at 3PM. This exhibit will be on display in the Atrium Gallery from January 13 through February 4.
Mary Janeski Wise is originally from Antrim. She graduated from Wellsboro Area High School in 1970, and then received a Bachelors in Home Economics from Mansfield College in 1974. Mary taught Home Economics in the Milton Area School District for 32 years and is very proud of the excellent culinary arts program that she helped build there. Mary has always been interested in art. When she was young, she loved everything from Van Gogh to the photographs in Game News magazine. When she was teaching, Mary always volunteered to chaperone trips to museums with the art teacher.
Mary’s journey as an artist began with a desire to paint on cookies. Unsure of her own skills, she signed up for a tole painting class at the Ben Franklin store in Clarkstown. This class was so popular, it took her three years to get into it. Mary fell in love with the technique of tole painting. She found it relaxing, and was overjoyed at being able to finish a project quickly. Soon she was doing craft shows in the Milton area, mostly painting on wooden objects. Customer requests for glass ornaments led her to take a class on Victorian style lace painting from the PA Mountain Laurel Decorative Painters group in Hughesville. After she retired from teaching, Mary came back to her hometown. She was encouraged by Charlie Messina to make an annual Wellsboro-themed Christmas ornament, which she has sold for years at the annual Dickens celebration.
Mary has become very involved in the arts since her retirement. She joined the Wellsboro Art Club about 10 years ago, and has served as both Vice President and President of that group. She participates in their annual exhibit at the Gmeiner, helps with receptions, and has painted many chairs for the biannual “Chair-ity” auction. Mary created a yearly scholarship in memory of her uncle Paul F. Janeski who was a World War II veteran and an artist who specialized in lettering. It is awarded to the Wellsboro High School art student with the best work ethic. Mary has also volunteered with the Wellsboro Glass Historical Association, and painted one of Hamilton Gibson’s pianos. She also currently volunteers as a docent at the Gmeiner and is on the Art Takeaway Packet committee for Art’s Friends which makes free kits with supplies and instructions for art projects that are given away to children who visit the Gmeiner each month. Mary frequently leads free classes for children in the Studio at the Gmeiner as well. If you can’t find her here at the Gmeiner, you might see her working on a painting at her other favorite place in town – Dunkin Donuts!

TIADAGHTON AUDUBON SOCIETY CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNTS - SIGN UP BY SATURDAY, DEC. 9
2024-01-01 | PA
The Tiadaghton Audubon Society, based in Wellsboro, is hosting two Christmas Bird Counts during the winter of 2023-2024. The Cowanesque Circle bird count will be on Saturday, Dec. 16 and the annual Wellsboro-Mansfield Circle bird count on Monday, Jan. 1. Everyone can participate in one or both counts.

By Saturday, Dec. 9, those interested in taking part in the Dec. 16 and/or Jan. 1 bird counts are asked to contact the Tiadaghton Audubon Society to be assigned an area by emailing tasmember@yahoo.com or by calling Sean and Robin Minnick at 570-948-9052. At least 10 volunteers are needed per circle. Each participant will count every bird they see as he/she/they follow their assigned route.

Both the Cowanesque and Mansfield-Wellsboro Circle bird count volunteers will get their area assignments via email. “Anyone interested is welcome to contact me for more information,” said Sean Minnick, a Tiadaghton Audubon Society member.

Each individual count is performed in a “count circle” with a diameter of 15 miles (24.14 kilometres). At least 10 volunteers, including a compiler to manage things, count in each circle. Each participant will follow an assigned route, which changes little from year to year, and count every bird they see.

The Cowanesque Circle is centered on Cowanesque Lake and has a radius of 7.5 miles, which covers the following areas: North – Pinnacle State Park in N.Y.; South – Ives Run Campground; West – Osceola; and East – East Lawrence Road and Woodford Road.

The Wellsboro-Mansfield Circle is centered on the intersection of Whitneyville and Charleston roads with a radius of 7.5 miles, covering the following areas: North – Ives Run Campground; South – Arnot and South Elk Road; West – Route 6 and Heise Run Road; and East – Commonwealth University in Mansfield (Mansfield University).

“We pair a novice with an experienced birder, if possible. People who have never participated before but are interested and comfortable with going out on their own are welcome to help,” Minnick said. “It might be fun for a family or people living in the same household to participate together.”

Those who do not want to drive an assigned route but live in a circle area can count birds at their home bird feeders.

It is not necessary to be a member of either the Tiadaghton or the National Audubon Society to participate in the Audubon’s Christmas Bird Count, which occurs across America between Dec. 14 and Jan. 5 every year.

Frank Chapman started the Christmas Bird Census in 1900. Today, this community science project is an important resource and tool for conservation.

Tioga County, through the Tiadaghton Audubon Society, has been represented in the count every year since 1968, four years before the chapter was chartered in 1972. Founded in 1906 with 23 members, it is officially the oldest chapter in Pennsylvania. The Tiadaghton name was selected in 1953.

Presentation on the Third Pennsylvania Bird Atlas
2023-12-20 18:00 | Wellsboro High School, 227 Nichols Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
On December 20, 2023 the Tiadaghton Audubon will host a presentation from a volunteer from Hawk Mountain on the Third Pennsylvania Bird Atlas at 6PM in the Board room/ Old Music Room in the Wellsboro Administration Building across for Wellsboro High School.

The purpose of this meeting is to inform potential volunteers of the who, what, where and why for the Pennsylvania Bird Atlas (PBA3).
Pennsylvania’s Bird Atlas (PBA3) is a five year statewide inventory of birds breeding and overwintering in the state. The PBA3 begins January 1, 2024, and will run through early 2029. This will be PA’s 3rd atlas, following atlases conducted in the 1980s and early 2000s. The PBA3 will rely on thousands of volunteers to document species and breeding behaviors across the state. The results of the PBA3 will help detect population and distributional changes for the birds of PA – information that is critical for designating species of conservation concern and informing land management and protection. This presentation will outline why we conduct atlases, how the PBA3 will work, and how anyone can participate.

Veterans Masks Class

This class is open to any veteran, male or female, combat or noncombat, from any generation. It will be led by a teacher with experience with PTSD counseling.
Those interested in participating should contact Carrie at 570-724-1917 or director@gmeinerartculturalcenter.org to sign up to ensure that we have enough space and materials.
