FOR VETERANS: There is an event this evening in Mount Jewett geared at addressing questions and concerns of local veterans.

The McKean County Veteran Resource Fair & Town Hall event will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. today at the Mount Jewett VFW & American Legion, 61 E. Main St., Mount Jewett.The veteran town hall portion is scheduled to take place from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.

“Veterans and their families are invited to a free one-stop shop to learn about VA service and community resources available,” the Erie VA Medical Center stated.

A number of agencies and individuals will be on hand to answer questions and give updates on programs. These include the McKean VA Clinic, an Erie VA dietician, Erie VA eligibility and enrollment reps, Erie VAMC Behavioral Health Clinic staff, Veterans Benefits Administration reps, Erie Mobile Vet Center, county and community veteran services officers, CareerLink reps and more.

According to the Erie VA Medical Center, there are many myths that people have about what services they qualify for, and veterans may be eligible for more than they realize.

POOH DAY: Today is A.A. Milne’s 135 birthday.

The author, born on Jan. 18, 1882, and best known for writing about Winnie-the-Pooh and friends, was also a magazine writer, playwright and novelist. He died in 1956.

We hear today has been dubbed “Winnie the Pooh Day,” so if you’re looking for a reason to party, here it is.

SEEDS: We’re already starting to get seed catalogues in the mail.

Is everyone thinking about what they want to plant this year? It’s a little early, but we enjoy imagining warm weather.

It has been somewhat springlike these past couple of days, but it’s definitely not the weather we are daydreaming about.
