This last activity of the White Haven Bicentennial Street Festival was postponed from the celebration’s first event, a bonfire in January, when windy conditions made it too dangerous to launch from Linesville Park.

Kidder warehouse rules changes progress

by Seth Isenberg

Kidder Township held a public meeting on Monday, July 29, about the proposed curative amendment ordinance, which defines and regulates warehouse, distribution and

truck terminal uses. It also adds to existing rules on minimum lot sizes and increases buffers. Only three people signed up to speak. Beth Hurley of Love Kidder Township spoke first, in support of the curative amendment ordinance. Linda

Christman of Save Carbon County spoke next, also in favor. Opposed to the changes was attorney Michael Malloy, representing the Blue Ridge Real Estate company (BRRE). He

Penn Lake gets update on dam

by Suzanne Winters

Over 70 residents gathered on the Penn Lake Community House lawn Sunday for an update on the borough’s Dam Repair Project. State Senator David Argall and former State Senator John Blake from Congressman Matt Cartwright’s office also were invited to attend. Both took time to address the audience following the presentation by the Dam Advisory Group (DAG).

Dan Cronauer introduced Dave Dipipi, who gave a detailed and informative overview of the dam project to date. He was followed by Dan George, who filled the audience in on the current status of the project.

George reported that the most recent meeting with the PA Department of Environmental Protection resulted in a commitment by DEP to assign a reviewer to the borough’s permit application, with hopes of responding to the borough with technical comments within 90 days. Penn Lake will then have 60 days to respond back to DEP regarding their comments. The DAG hopes to begin the bidding process by late spring or early summer 2025, with construction starting late summer 2025.

George also explained possibly needing to change the permit application somewhat. He described the work that would need to be completed to control

A terrific birthday party

by Ruth Isenberg

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who was involved with last weekend’s White Haven Bicentennial Street Festival. It was a fantastic two-day party fun for all ages. Planning, preparation and execution involved lots of hours, lots of hard work, and lots of optimistic vision. It all paid off. And it’s good news that a tentative date has been set for a festival again next year—we don’t want to wait another 200 years.

Bringing it home

by Ruth Isenberg

After over 30 years, the Schwab School may finally serve a useful purpose again. The Alliance for Building Communities is planning to convert the old school into 12 apartments, and build 18 more where the annex stands. Weatherly borough has agreed to help them by creating a LERTA, a special taxing zone that will gradually get the building back on the tax rolls, going from 0% the first year up to 100% by year 10.

Right now, under borough ownership, Weatherly taxpayers get no benefit from the structure quite the opposite. Taxes are not being paid on the property, and the liability of the upkeep and security of an empty building falls on the taxpayers of the town. Some people fear the term “affordable housing.” News flash this area seriously needs housing people can afford. There are individuals right here, right now, struggling to keep up with school taxes, county taxes, and local taxes, and the upkeep of homes that may have become too large for them. They want to remain local, in the community they love. Affordable apartments in this beautiful and historic landmark just might help them stay here.

In Memory of JOHN A. DIAS

We cannot see you with our eyes Or hear you with our ears, But thoughts of you are with us Still and often dry our tears. You whisper in the rustling leaves, That linger in the fall, And in the gentle evening breeze

We’re sure we hear you call. A part of you remains with us

That none can take away It gives us strength to carry on

At the dawning of a new day. We think of happy times we shared And then we softly sigh But this we know we’ll meet again And never say goodbye.

Love, Your Family

Penn Lake Dam

Continued from page 1

dam seepage, and to improve the spillway. He also noted there would likely be little access to the lake during the summer of 2026 with construction still ongoing at that time.

Penn Lake Park Borough Council president Paul Rogan gave an update on the financial requirements for the project. He said there is currently $3.3 million in the bank (PLGIT account) for dam repair. Tax receipts earmarked for the dam project received since 2021 are $840,000 and interest received on the bank funds is $174,000. So far, the borough has spent $214,000 in loan payments and $521,000 in engineering costs. It has also received various grants of $226,000, $201,000 and $100,000, with a total available funds of $3.9 million.

Rogan noted it is difficult to project the total costs involved with completing the dam and spillway repairs accurately until bids have been received, but an anticipated total is $4,080,000. This leaves a shortfall of approximately $1.2 million.

Rogan thanked the DAG for all of their contributions to the project, noting that their expertise has not only added to the quality of the projected

outcome, but has saved the borough a lot of money.

Senator Argall addressed the residents, describing his role, which is to help with any snags encountered while the borough works with DEP, which his office has done. He and his staff can also be helpful in applying for grant money. Argall also suggested residents may want to sign up for his E-Newsletter. His flier indicates it is easy to sign up at senatorargall.com, for area news and updates.

John Blake, District Director and Economic Development Specialist for Congressman Matt Cartwright, also offered a few words, saying their office would continue to work with area representatives to find funding opportunities and get the project done. He commended the Penn Lake community for doing all

the right things in pursuit of completing this project, noting that Pennsylvania has some of the most rigid dam regulations in the country and many waterways. He encouraged the borough to continue pursuing grant monies, as the windows of eligibility open and close each year. He said there is also funding allocated for civic projects in Luzerne County, which the borough can also apply for.

Before opening up for questions, Paul Day explained the petition being circulated for signatures to show solidarity for the dam project that any borough resident can sign.

There were a few questions after the presentation. One resident thanked the DAG for all of their work, to which Dan George offered thanks to the

Penn Lake residents for voting for and supporting the project.

There was concern as to whether or not the lake will be completely drained for the dam construction. George believes at least a portion of the lake will need to be drained, but suggested a cofferdam may be set up near Wright Creek to maintain the shallower part of the lake. He could not say this would be a certainty, since they won’t really know what is feasible until receiving project details from prospective contractors.

Another resident asked if there would be a lake access point available since the Public Beach will not be during construction. George said they had not considered this as of yet, and Dan Cronauer said that will need to be discussed with the Association if, in fact, a portion of the lake remains undrained.

There was a question concerning saving the fish population. Cronauer again said they hoped a cofferdam will be possible, but it may cost more to do this in order keep the fish in the lake than to restock the fish after project completion.

Lastly, someone asked what the interest rate on the loan is. Rogan noted it is 2.75% currently, with a reset after 10 years with a 1.25% cap. Currently, the funds in the PLIGIT account are earning 5.11%.

Members of the DAG can be contacted should residents have any further questions regarding the ongoing Penn Lake dam repair project.

Kidder hearing

Continued from page 1

asked township supervisors to look at the long-term economic impact these new rules will have to the township. He asked for a study to be done.

In defense of the warehouses in place, or underway on properties sold by BRRE, he added that these businesses are “where they belong,” near to the Interstate.

With no other public input, the meeting was adjourned.

A short break followed the public hearing, then Kidder Supervisors returned and called a special meeting into session. The sole item of business was to approve advertising the Municipal Curative Amendment ordinance. Supervisors Bruce Berger, Wilson Klotzman, Noel Torres and chairman Ray Gluck voted unanimously to advertise the ordinance as a public notice in The TimesNews. The ads will start the 30-day period for additional comments.

The new rules, once adopted, will not affect the existing warehouse or the warehouse under construction. The proposed third warehouse in northwest Kidder Township, is also underway so is grandfathered. The rules would apply to new projects.

White Haven Borough receives grant from Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor

White Haven Borough recently received a $2,000 grant from the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor. The

grant supported the borough’s 200th Birthday celebration along the DLNHC Trail on Main Street.

The funds helped with entertainment costs along with safety and security during the event. Borough manager Linda Szoke said, “We can’t thank the DLNHC for assisting our borough with this celebration as well as marketing White Haven

as a trail town destination to visitors. It will certainly help in boosting economic growth for our businesses along the trail.”

This grant was provided through the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which assists funding the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor fund projects along the trail system.

Above, Linda Christmas of Save Carbon County spoke in favor of the curative amendment, while Blue Ridge attorney Michael Malloy, left, spoke against it. JH: Seth Isenberg

seth’s sightiNgs

Summertime in the Poconos and the gift of fine weather made this past weekend’s White Haven 200th birthday festival into something special. These two days were a suitable way to truly celebrate. Ruth and I, and our guests, truly enjoyed the event we could walk right out our front door at the Journal office and be at festival booths. We look forward to an event like it, next year.

The sound of June bugs is a reminder of my time at summer camp on Cape Cod. The buzzing would echo around the cabins. It was a treat to hear them as I sat on the patio of our home. Butterflies continue to visit as well.

Sightings were lean this week, just fox, raccoons, skunks, and deer with their fawns, and at least one beautiful trophy buck. There were no close encounters

this week though we did come upon a set of young bucks coming across Lehigh Gorge Road, for which we stopped. Reader Tom Bird sighted a rattlesnake crossing the road see photo on page 13. Thanks for the photo. More photos of critters are welcome.

The Olympics has me watching in bits and pieces. So far, I have watched swimming, diving, gymnastics, and volleyball, and I am looking for surfing. The photos from the surf competition are amazing, especially the one where the surfer looks to be floating on air. I am checking the internet daily for bits of competition and who has earned medals.

Ruth and I were out to an opening performance of Cymbeline at the PA Shakespeare Festival. Lovers of Shakespeare should find a

by seth iseNberg

way to see this performance. It is well acted, complex and rich. Shakespeare included all kinds of plot twists…missing brothers, a plotting stepmother, separated lovers, betrayal and repentance, war, and a happy ending for most of the troop. The performances are now through Sunday.

We also were out to see Liz Callaway perform in nearby Swiftwater for a fine show at the Pocono Mountain East High School auditorium. The show was part of this year’s Pocono Mountains Music Festival, which wrapped up Sunday.

Looking ahead, Musikfest in Bethlehem gets started this Thursday and runs to the 11th. We’re considering a trip to see Scythian perform on Friday night weather permitting. Shows are free except for headliners, but parking is not.

The Saint Jude Church Bazaar is next weekend, August 9 to 11. We’ll visit for the food and their wonderful basket raffle.

A nice note, gas prices are going down just as we begin to travel a bit. Knoebels is on the list for a trip as the Mahoney Brothers are performing their

Beatles and More shows there August 6 to 11.

It’s busy busy with our Journals and LAKE NEWS this week and next. We’ll be trapped behind our computer screens more than we’d like. We’ll get some time off late next week.

Wishes of good health to you all.

May peace find its way especially in Sudan, Ukraine and Gaza. Sudan promises peace talks just before things really get bad there. Getting hostages home is the promise in Gaza to calm the craziness trying to infect Lebanon. As always, I’m thankful for the peace that we enjoy.

National Night Out

REVIEW: Cymbeline at PA Shakespeare Fest

Strong cast ties multiple strands together in fanciful tale

by Ruth Isenberg

Jealousy is a favored theme with Shakespeare. In his plays, sometimes jealousy has tragic consequences. Sometimes it is played for comic effect, but even then, the emotion is treated seriously.

In Cymbeline, as presented right now by the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival at DeSales University in the Lehigh Valley, this classic component is the main plot driver on multiple levels, once you include avarice, greed and class resentment as emotions rooted in jealousy.

Cymbeline is the king of Britain, no longer paying tribute to the Roman conquerors. He

has a daughter, Imogen, and a new wife—one who is plotting to gain control of his kingdom by marrying off his daughter to her oafish son, Clotin.

Unfortunately for her, said daughter is already married, to Posthumus Leonatus, a man raised by the king but of lower birth. The queen’s plots and duplicitous behavior to break up this marriage are convincingly portrayed. Her son starts out broadly and physically comic, but his resentment at being rejected is a powerul transformation.

Of course Shakespeare has multiple balls in the air in this comedy. The young couple is separated, the king banishing

Posthumous in his displeasure with the “unsuitable” marriage. Fleeing to a family friend in Rome, he enters into a bet with a new companion that his wife is chaste and true, and would never betray him. We all know where that leads in a Shakespeare play.

Perhaps this is the reason Cymbeline isn’t performed that often. The plot includes so many devices found in Shakespeare—mistaken identity, missing heirs, cross-dressing to conceal identity, jealousy, war and battle as a way to resolve action, a funeral for someone who turns out not to be dead—that it feels somewhat

derivative. It’s interesting to learn that Cymbeline was originally considered one of Shakespeare’s tragedies. Today, it is generally considered a romance or comedy.

In this performance, the action is quick, the actors have fun and include the audience in the joke, and the ending is happy (for most).

There’s little time left to see Cymbeline, as it closes August 4. And sadly, the Pennsylvania Shakespeare also closes for the season that day, with the last performance of The Color Purple on the main stage. Both the children’s theater performances, Winnie the Pooh and Shakespeare for Kids, close on August 3.

Freeland looks at long-term streets plan

David Kavitski, Freeland Borough’s engineer, shows a map of Freeland streets he devised to show the condition of the borough’s streets. The plan calls for $13 million in improvements.

by Jim Dino

It would take $13 million to properly repair all of the streets in the Borough of Freeland.

Council heard the results of a study done by RDK Engineering at their most recent monthly meeting Thursday, July 25.

Council President Josh Richie said the plan gives council members a blueprint to follow to improve the borough’s thoroughfares. Council requested the study.

Kavitski said the plan includes $4.8 million in stormwater work, $3.4 million in curbing, $2.4 million in total street reconstruction, and another $2.8 million in overlay work. An overlay is when the street just gets a top coat of asphalt. A way to save money, Kavitski recommended, is a double coat of tar and chip, which would cost $548,000.

The first priority, Kavitski said, is to seal cracks in streets that are already deteriorating.

Kavitski showed council a map of the borough’s streets, with a color-coded rating system. One category was streets that should be paved within the next four years. Another category was streets that should be paved in the next 5-15 years, and then streets that have a life of at least 15 more

become a huge headache.”

The entire plan is being put on a document on the borough’s website, freelandborough.org. Other street work

Kavitski said the water line on Centre Street between Front and Chestnut streets is being replaced. Sikora Brothers Paving, Hunlock Creek, has the contract to do the work, which will be done between August 19-26. The project should be done by the end of September.

Rec board reorganization

Council approved a motion to disband the recreation board. Richie said the rec board isn’t being done away with, but is being reorganized.

Under the 1992 ordinance the board has been operating under, the board is responsible for maintenance of the Freeland Public Park Pavilion and other physical facilities.

years.

“The firsr priority is crack sealing,” Kavitski told council. “If you seal the cracks, it will save streets from deteriorating any further, and costing more down the road.”

The worst streets, Kavitski said, are Yale, Chestnut, Fern, Oak, Dewey and Graham.

“Graham is an important street,” Kavitski said. “It’s near the Freeland Elementary Middle School. It has been extensively patched. In a year or two, it will need a total reconstruction, which will cost $400,000.

Richie said council will look into applying for grants. “If we don’t do something, this will

The second phase of the 2023 Freeland storm water improvement project is 40% complete. Trench-based paving has begun on South Washington Street and final milling and paving will begin after that. Kavitski said the project should be done by the end of August to mid-September.

Ambulance on hold Council did not take any further action on its proposal to purchase the Freeland Northside Ambulance building. Richie said the proposal had to be sent to council’s bond counsel for review before it can be approved.

“We want to take that responsibility away from them, so they can concentrate on fundraising and holding events,” Richie said.

Once the old ordinance is rescinded, council will approve a new one with the new responsibilities.

New officer

Council voted to hire Thomas Rentschler as a part-time officer at $30 per hour for no more than 32 hours a week.

Five body cameras were also purchased by council for $20,151, with a five-year warranty.

Beer pong tourney to aid Bellits

The Tresckow Hosey will hold a beer pong tournament on Saturday, September 14. The event will benefit Waylon Bellits and his family after a devastating dog attack.

There will be food, tricky

trays, a 50/50 raffle.

Registration starts at 1 p.m., and the event starts at 2. There will be a $20 entrance fee.

To register or for more information, call Alicia at (570) 436-2862.

Rattlesnake awareness: It is the time of year when snake activity in our area has increased. This “healthy” rattlesnake crossed Lehigh Gorge Drive (the White Haven - Weatherly Road) this past Saturday. Snake activity increases with temperatures in the 70F to 90+ degree temperature range. For all those hiking and enjoying the numerous trails we have, be mindful of where you are walking and biking. Snakes generally avoid human interaction, but avoidance is the best policy.

Kidder Supervisors continue safety upgrades

by Seth Isenberg

July’s Kidder Township Board of Supervisors meeting on the 23rd made quick work of the short agenda. The safety upgrade, which added cameras in and outside on the municipal building, now adds two 70" monitors for the meeting room. Cost for the monitors and installation of $5,980 was approved unanimously, as was buying a laptop computer to manage the system at $945.

The township will now have a citizen notification and alert system reaching township residents and property owners’ cell phones and e-mails, with supervisors agreeing to subscribe to GoGov for $3,600 per year.

Other business included buying two new gas space heaters for the municipal building and two for the Schoolhouse in Albrightsville from Affordable Comfort Contracting, at a combined cost of $1,914.

Supervisors accepted two lots with new owners off the Carbon County Tax Claim list both in the Holiday Pocono development.

The Camptel Poconos/Maison Lodging property was given an extension of its lot improvement subdivision plan to September 24, 2024.

The month’s bills totaling $247,520 were approved to be paid. $44,559 went to fund the fire companies and ambulance, plus $9,863 towards

Lake Harmony Volunteer Fire Company’s new truck; $42,137 returned money from escrow to Lisa Millspaugh; $28,589 went to Casella Waste for trash collection; $24,609 paid Highmark Blue Shield for health insurance for township staff; $22,794 went to the IRS for staff; $17,714 went to pay township insurances.

In reports, township manager Suzanne Brooks thanked Harmony Tree Service for removing a section of a tree that had fallen across the township’s walking trail.

Kidder Police report that a bogus police fundraising letter is reported to be circulating in Albrightsville.

There were 362 calls for police services in June. Regarding traffic enforcement, Kidder Township Police report 67 truck inspection violations on Route 940 and five more on Route 903, 15 moving violations on Route 903 and six on Route 940, 10 STOP sign violations, 4 license violations, and 26 warnings issued. KTP’s five vehicles patrolled 10,746 miles in June.

The Lake Harmony Rescue Squad responded to 50 calls in June.

Supervisors’ chairman Ray Gluck reminded the public that there was a public hearing on July 29 at 5 p.m. regarding the curative amendment ordinance. A special supervisors meeting was to follow the hearing to vote on advertising the ordinance. (See story, starting on page 1.)
