Many families have traditions when it comes to the Easter meal. Some opt for a roasted leg of lamb, others braised beef brisket. But when it comes to ease of preparation and flavor, you really can’t do much better than ham. Since hams are cooked or cured when you buy them, you’re essentially roasting them to bring out the flavors. Glazing helps add flavor. Here are some glazing recipes:
By Kathie Lepper Everything is coming up green here on "The Ridge". Not so much outside, but many entrance doors and the community room are looking Irish.
No news to speak of this week, but the pot luck supper is today. So I may pick up some then. Pauline Watts reported that ten residents were at the Coffee Chat Hour, Thursday, this past week. That's always a good group. By John Shaffer Audiences are used to outstanding performances from the Troy Drama Club productions. Last weekend's Singin' In The Rain joined a lengthening list of great shows. Each is memorable in its own right, but we think that this show stands out for its tremendous dancing - tremendous and very athletic. The cast worked hard to master the techniques of tap and put together dance moves that are seldom seen on the high school stage.
Sage News:
Teacher Arrested At Sydney International A high school teacher was arrested today at Sydney’s Kingsford-Smith International airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator.

Another thing to know for folks who have never hunted with a falcon, when the bird makes a kill, the hunt is over for the day. The bird gets the meal and according to Mike, the hunters celebrate with wine and cheese; a rather foreign thing to this Irish hunter. I would have settled for a cold beer. We pulled into the driveway of a nearby farm and asked the farmer if we could hunt small game. This fellow is also a hunter. He corrected stated that small game seasons were closed. He also asked what type of firearm we were using. By Bill Bower Recently, Ellen Lacek, of Towanda, sent me an e-mail that prompted me to write this week's article. The e-mail included pictures of bird nests, which were built under a bridge that crossed the Susquehanna River, and a request to identify the birds that made the nests.
My answer to Ellen's question was cliff swallows. The cliff swallow's scientific name is Petrochelidon pyrrhonota. The genus name is Latin and comes from the two Greek words: petros, meaning stone or rock from the places where the nests are often built and chelidon, meaning swallow. The species is Latin and means red-backed in reference to the rump. By Stratton "Lefty" Schaeffer A Potpourri of Current Events
There is such an abundance of interesting events simultaneously unfolding that I feel like a mosquito in a nudest colony trying to select a target. So many targets, so little time. For a change of pace I've decided to highlight several unwinding issues with a synopsis of the good, the bad, and the ugly that will probably annoy the robotic voters of both major political parties. It's food for thought if you're tired of business as usual. By Esther Butcher Monday sure was nice with the sunshine, nice for going somewhere. The water was flowing every where, we need the snow to go away slowly. We are very lucky we don’t have much.

By Richard & Joyce Pratt Well, it finally looks like the winter weather in breaking so that the sap will start running and make the maple syrup producers happy. Quite a different operation today, when you look at all the tubing and expensive equipment of today compared to buckets and hurry home from school, go out with horses and bobsleds all around the sugar bush to empty each bucket and bring into a tank to boil down in the open sap pan over a hot fire usually made up of old pine stumps that were quite popular in fence rolls in their day.
By Terren Smith Hi, all. We are back. I've got a nice tan going.
Our prayer list: Shirley Greenough; Louise O'Hara has pneumonia; Vaughn Harkness and Regina Jackson are doing well after hip or knee replacements; Dora McDonald doing well after hernia surgery; Sherry Roberts may have to have more surgery.

By Evangelist Eric Smith “On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple area and began driving out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves, 16 and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 17 And as he taught them, he said, ‘Is it not written: My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations But you made it a den of robbers.’ 18 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and begun looking for a way to kill him, for they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching.” Mark 11:15-18.
By Jim Lewis “I wish that I…” “I sure hope that…happens” “What if…doesn’t pull through?” Have you ever thrown money in a wishing well? Somehow it’s a good feeling isn’t it? Traditionally we are to make a private wish and then pitch in some change. Then, magically we have a small amount of hope and confidence that the wish might come true. If we throw a lot of change in, is there more confidence in the possible outcome? Why? Is it because we believe or at least hope that someone or something is aware of our offering and the sincerity of the wish? A presence that knows our hopes and desires? Of course we do. Why else would we make a wish first?
Two cannibals, a father and son, were elected by the tribe to go out and get something to eat. They walked deep into the jungle and waited by a path.
Before long, along came this little old man. The son said, "Ooh dad, there's one." By Lois Ribovich The town clean up will be the month of April. There will be a dumpster at the post office and one at Marsh Hill.
