ONLINE — It’s the sort of thing that some of us (*cough*) know they should do, and somehow never manage to start.
Decluttering, according to those who practice it, is freeing and can give one a sense of control over one’s life.
It certainly helps with tidying.
But if you, like some of us, could use help getting started, the Western Sullivan Public Library is holding a virtual decluttering workshop, led by organizer and author Jamie Novak.
Novak promises “Seven Secrets to Decluttering the Most Difficult Spots.” She’s the author of “Keep This, Toss That,” hosts a show on YouTube and runs a blog that offers tidying hints in small, digestible chunks.
“Seven Secrets” starts at 6 p.m. on Thursday, October 14.

GREELEY, PA — An Army veteran who lost most of his right leg in Afghanistan will receive a tribute from VetStock on Friday, October 8, during Heroes Day at the Tommy Gun Warehouse in Greeley.
Lyndon Sampang will take official ownership of a custom-built motorcycle and will be escorted by fellow vets from Gettysburg to Greeley. They should arrive in Greeley at about 5:15 p.m.
The Heroes Day ceremony is free and open to the public.
“I am beyond humbled and excited to be the recipient of such an unselfish act,” said Sampang, “I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was 13 years old, but I never thought I’d be able to ride again.” He looked forward to the event, “mostly to experience the love of riding a motorcycle again.”
Combat Hero Bike Build, like the Pike County-based VetStock, provides support to veterans. Headquartered in Colorado, they rebuild or modify motorcycles to give wounded veterans the chance to ride again.
Sampang served in the Army, SGT-E5, 10 years in the National Guard and on active duty. On March 18, 2010, while serving in Yayah Khel Patika Province, Afghanistan, he lost his right leg from the knee down.
Anyone who wants to join the tribute ride to escort Sampang to receive his bike is welcome. The ride begins at 10 a.m. sharp at Battlefield Harley Davidson Dealership in Gettysburg. They’ll stop at Baer Harley Davidson in Honesdale before arriving in Greeley.
The public is invited to meet Sampang, see his new bike and enjoy family fun, food and music by Brokedown & Rebuilt at the event. They’ll also get to meet VetStock’s sponsored service dog, Jacob. Jacob was named after Lance Corporal Jacob Beisel, U.S. Marines, who was killed in action in 2006. Beisel had always told his mother, “If I could come back I would come back as a dog!”
The Tommy Gun warehouse is located at 105 Kahr Ave. in Greeley. The Heroes Day event takes place during the Rod of Iron Freedom Festival weekend on the Tommy Gun festival grounds.

MILFORD, PA — A few months ago, the Pike County Historical Society gave Jane Mangini, a musician, composer and producer, copies of two silent movies from its collection.
The movies had been filmed in and around Milford in 1912. “The Informer” and “A Feud in the Kentucky Hills” both starred Mary Pickford and featured familiar scenery and stunning views shot from the “The Knob,” the hill that overlooks Milford. “Mangini composed some new music, added some tracks from her previous projects and paired the sound with these aging ‘flickers,’” a spokesperson from the historical society said, “to make for a fun and fast-moving romp through the Milford foothills with Mary and the gang.”
The films debut at 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 16 at the Station Guest at Broad Street Alley, 310 Broad Street in Milford, for an outdoor cocktail party followed by the screening of the two movies. Only 40 tickets are available; reserve them by calling 570/296-8126 or emailing pikemuse@ptd.net.
Tickets can also be purchased via Facebook; click on events at “The Columns Museum.” The cost is $50 per person and includes cocktails, snacks and the movies.
Mangini will be on hand too—she will be the guest bartender. For more information, visit the Pike County Historical Society website at www.pikehistorical.org.
