Deer Processing Workshop Planned
HONESDALE (Wayne Co.)
With the start of archery season
right around the comer, followed
by other hunting seasons, many
area hunters are turning their
thoughts to deer hunting. While
the hunt is greatly anticipated,
the care and handling of game
after the hunt can be a daunting
task. The first and most impor
tant steps to having good tasting
venison is the proper field dress
ing of your deer and safe han
dling of the meat after harvest.

the upcoming seasons, Penn

Ida’s
Notebook
by
Ida Risser
Tomorrow is the official start
of fall. It has been a frustrating
summer for me. I’ve had no gar
den to keep me busy as the ani
mals ate all of it. And, my hus
band has not been well enough to
do his regular work.
He had an operation sched
uled but it was cancelled just
hours before
we were to
leave home.
Now it is re
scheduled and
we are hoping
for some good
results. Our
youngest
daughter, who
lives in Maine,
had driven
here with her
little boy to be
a support per
son. It was a
disappointing
time.
Recently, I
attended a
grandson’s
soccer game.
Probably, no
one else at the
game had the
same thoughts
as I did but it
Compost Workshop
SAYRE (Bradford Co.) Penn State Coopera
tive Extension in Bradford County and the De
partment of Environmental Protection (DEP) will
present a composting workshop on Saturday, Oc
tober 26, from 9 a.m. to noon at the Patterson
Building, Guthrie Square in Sayre.

seemed like so much wasted en
ergy. The little boys ran from one
end of the large field to the other
and really wore themselves out.
They were dripping with perspi
ration. Just think how much
work all of that energy could
have accomplished.
When I went along to a large
store devoted entirely to toys, I
had an eye-opener. So many toys
I’ve never seen in my lifetime.
There were all kinds of dolls, all
kinds of stuffed animals, all
kinds of books, all kinds of puz
zles and mechanical toys too.
I was surprised to see wooden
puzzles. My children had card
board pieces in their puzzles.
But, when 1 was small my grand
mother bought a box with three
“dissected animals” for me. The
horse, sheep and duck were on
heavy wooden pieces and I still
have them in the original box.
Now eight decades later they are
being produced again. 1 also
have the handmade Peter Rabbit
that a great aunt made. My sis
ters and I had very few toys and
the ones we had were simple
handmade ones but we survived.
The first 125 partici
pants who pre-register
and do attend the work
shop will receive a free
$75 Earth Machine com
post bin provided by
DEP.
