Fire, police, ambulance topics for WH Council

by Ruth Isenberg

The August 28 White Haven Borough Council meeting opened with praise for the actions of the White Haven Volunteer Fire Company, and the White Haven Police Department. Bernie Brown, a resident of Woodhaven, sent a letter praising the “very quick response” to an oven fire at his home.

During the meeting, the borough approved two potential hires as part-time police officers, Prakriti Sharma and Nicola Palermo,

MAIN STREET SEWER LINE REPLACEMENT: Crews were at work on Tuesday installing new sewer pipes from in front of the Aqua Pennsylvania headquarters on Main Street in White Haven along the length of the 400 and 500 blocks. That area was closed, while the street was dug up. Area manager Dave Hoogstad explained that the line was upsized to 12” from the intersection with Allegheny Street, which transports sewage from Foster Township through the borough to the sewage treatment plant. When the line reaches the White Haven Market parking lot, shown above, it is being upgraded to a 15” line into the plant. Pipes are scheduled to be in by the first week in October, with paving to immediately follow, weather permitting.

Happy 10th birthday, Steffie

Steffie is the resident cat at G & A Hardware in White Haven. September 2 was her birthday. She’s 10 years old.

At the August 28 White Haven Borough Council meeting, VFW Commander Missy Dimmit had requested permission to hold the annual homeless encampment from October 20-22. A decision was put off to determine when the construction would be completed.

pending background checks. The meeting ended with a report by White Haven Ambulance operations manager Dennis Sites, who told council staffing levels are slipping a bit, as students are heading back to college. He also discussed the ambulance association finances, saying he would like to take the ambulance from hiring via 1099s to W-2s. (People hired as independent contractors are issued 1099 tax forms, and are responsible for paying their taxes on their own. If See WHITE HAVEN, page 10 See STEFFIE, page 7

School buses are back on the road — be careful

by Ruth Isenberg

School is back in session, and school buses are back on the road. That means leaving some extra time to get to work or appointments. Passing a school bus while it’s stopped to pick up or drop off passengers is a serious violation of the PA motor vehicle code, and carries some hefty fines. There are lots of stops along the rural routes, and very few places to safely pass, even when students aren’t getting on or off the buses.

That morning commute will take a few minutes longer if you get behind a school bus that’s picking up kids. Especially in town, there are stops where lots of kids of different ages gather to wait for the bus. A certain amount of horseplay is inevitable. With younger kids there are usually a few parents keeping a watchful eye, but even so, if a ball rolls into the street, it’s a good idea to look for the child who is following it.

It’s especially important to stay alert in the afternoons, when buses are dropping kids off. After a sommer vacation with comparative freedom, being in class all day can feel constricting. Just as it is for adults, a kid’s commute is an opportunity to unwind and decompress. As a result, there may be some letting off steam when getting off the bus. Safety isn’t always top of mind for the kids who ride the school bus, so it has to be top of mind for drivers. Go slow, watch for kids, including some small ones, and help keep everyone safe.

LISA F. KELLERMAN

Lisa F. Kellerman of South Lehigh Gorge Drive

Weatherly, passed away at the age of 66 on Thursday, August 31, 2023, at Lehigh Valley Hospital Salisbury

Twp. She was a loving wife, supportive mother, and devoted Mema. She was born Saturday, September 29, 1956 in West Chester, the daughter of the late Edward Bremen, and Lavade (Smith) Carl, wife of Arden Carl.

Surviving Lisa are her husband of 47 years, Bruce A. Kellerman; son James Kellerman, his wife Cathy and their children Ariana and Evan, daughter Gennesa Lowry, her husband Todd and their children Coen, Harper, Arden and Crosby, daughter Tonya Kellerman and son Jeremy Kellerman; many aunts, uncles, brother and sister-in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews.

A graduate of Owen J. Roberts High School in Chester County, Lisa was a passionate volunteer at Pinebrook Bible Conference in Monroe County. She was faithful to serve God in any way that was asked of her: hostessing, coordinating volunteers, connecting with youth volunteers, selling t-shirts and planting flowers. Pinebrook was a second home to her where she cultivated lifelong friendships and faithfully served the Lord. Lisa found joy in socializing with others. The more people, the better. She never turned

down an opportunity to sit and talk and her door was always open to anyone who wanted to stop in and chat.. She loved unexpected visitors and welcomed them with open arms.

Spending time in her many gardens and watching birds brought happiness to Lisa. She loved playing games, either online or sitting with friends and family, even if she played by “Mema Rules.” Lisa loved traveling the country and exploring new places with her husband and Labrador, Eacha. Some of her happiest memories were when she got to spend time with her kids and grandchildren. Her infectious giggle and sweet smile lit up a room and will be greatly missed.

Lisa left behind a beautiful legacy of love and kindness, and her memory will be treasured by all who knew her.

Private arrangements are entrusted to the Philip J. Jeffries Funeral Home & Cremation Services of Weatherly.

Kidder Supervisors seeking ZHB member

by Seth Isenberg

Kidder Township supervisors made quick work of a short agenda at their August 22 meeting.

The Giordano and Malvina properties were given conditional approval for their lot improvements.

Kidder Township’s Zoning Hearing Board has a vacancy as member realtor Josh Grudzinski resigned and has moved out of the township. Residents interested in filling the vacancy should send letters to the township. In reports, Kidder Township Police had 306 calls for service in July. Of those, 83 were traffic tickets, written mainly for

STOP sign violations. There were also 17 parking tickets issued to trucks at the Wawa. The department was given permission to order a new 4-wheel drive four door police package pickup truck. By ordering now, the truck should be available for service in February.

Supervisors paid bills of $213,180 of note being IRS payments of $20,071, health insurance for staff of $19,794 and $917, payment to Building Inspection Underwriters of $56,045, and $10,497 to The Flying Locksmiths. Trash collection is $28,589 and $32,740 goes towards fire and ambulance services.

Supervisor Noel Torres

reported as roadmaster that the Old Stage Road bridge construction is complete, and that it should be open for traffic by Saturday.

Torres also gave the Code Enforcement report, explaining that the 55 reports of storing containers for trash are primarily about property owners not putting away their trash receptacles after the pickup. There were also 58 visits about accumulation of rubbish. Quality of life stops include 5 about high grass and weeds, one property with indoor furniture placed outside, and 15 investigations on abandoned or unregistered motor vehicles. The township code officers

conducted 50 other visits for violations of township codes, citing 2 properties the rest were resolved.

Supervisors approved a return to the tax rolls from the Carbon County Tax Claim Bureau of 13 properties, all in Holiday Poconos in Albrightsville.

In audience participation, supervisor and businessman Louis Pantages announced that this year’s Boat Parade event raising money for the Lake Harmony Volunteer Fire Company and Lake Harmony Rescue Squad was “our most successful yet.” He’s hoping for more boats to join the parade next year.

Fire Chief Ralph Lennon spoke about commercial

buildings and public safety issues —like roof access for firefighters and standpipes for additional water for firefighting when new buildings are erected.

Gene Getz of the Albrightsville Volunteer Fire Company asked about the future operation of the gates into Split Rock. A meeting with the resort about the gates is planned, answered township manager Suzanne Brooks.

Brooks has scheduled the first budget workshop for 2024’s township budget on September 18.

Supervisors meet next on September 26 at the municipal building on Lake Ave. in Lake Harmony.

Seth’s Sightings

A doe, a fawn and buck crossed Lehigh Gorge Drive right in front of us when we were just about home one night last week. Of course, there was someone right on my tail, who had to stop suddenly after I slowed then stopped to let them pass. At nightfall, when driving, keep your distance.

by Seth Isenberg

We enjoyed having The Super Moon light the night. It was impressive, larger than we expected, and very bright.

Over this past weekend, Ruth and I volunteered for the coffee break event that the Weatherly Area Community Library works with PennDOT on a Labor Day weekend Saturday. It was fun to meet all the people as they got out to stretch and enjoy the parklike setting of the White Haven Rest Area. A couple of families picnicked. Some turned their visit into one as they enjoyed the food we offered.

One couple coming from Ohio even gave us food,

presenting the group with corn and tomatoes they’d picked that morning.

This past Sunday, we attended a car show at Pocono Raceway as part of the Blakeslee Rotary. There were some local winners. We’re still enjoying 80-something degreesshorts weather, at least for this week.

All the same, we started sighting fall colors last week on some trees here and there. By Labor Day weekend, we were sighting changes in everything from the tips of our burning bushes to some of our flowering plants.

Retriving the Retriever: One day last week, we

were heading home and found a minor traffic jam at the corner of Berwick and Church Streets. A loose Golden Retriever ws doing it’s best to circle a pickup truck driven by the state’s deer pickup team. The dog likely scented the dead deer on the back of the truck as it stopped at the STOP sign. We were the first in line coming up Berwick Street, and stopped for a safe retrieval of the Retriever by its leash-toting owner. We’ve been keeping an eye on the transactions at a local yard sale, and think we spotted an electric organ

table, decorated with more balloons and banners, was filled with party treats for humans and pets alike. They had homemade cat-shaped cookies, lollipops, bags of chips, drinks, noise makers, small plastic orange cat figures, and handmade ginger cat pins to wear. (In case you haven’t figured it out, Steffie is an orange cat.) Small bags containing

for sale it was sold, so…an organ transplant?

We took a ride into a beautiful sunset on Labor Day. It seemed like a perfect restful way to get ready for what is turning out to be a very busy week. Halloween decorations are making their appearance everywhere we go. We especially admire the gigantic skeleton on Berwick Street in White Haven, and Ruth is slightly tempted by the animatronic cat skeleton offered for sale at Dollar General, but doesn’t want to upset any of the neighborhood cats.

a toy mouse and cat treats, and others with small dog biscuits, were available for Steffie’s furry friends as well. Because Steffie is free to come and go as she pleases, and she doesn’t stay long when she joins the party, they made a large stand up photo of Steffie for the table, and put a “Birthday Princess” sash around it. Nearby was a handmade birthday card that one of their younger customers made for Steffie.

In lieu of presents, Steffie asked that donations be made to The Junction Cat Rescue, based in Mountaintop. There was a jar available to collect those donations. After the party was over, the owners said they collected almost $250 for the rescue. (Thanks, everyone!) Guests were also given one ticket to enter a drawing for a lottery gift basket. The party ran all day.

This will cost money, about $10,000 per year, Sites estimates. They are seeking grants for building and improvements, but will still need to raise rates, and consider eliminating 100% coverage of transport costs for members to a smaller percentage.

Sites floated the idea of an EMS tax to improve their bottom line. Council member Tim Janosco gave the opinion that a large part of the problem is insurance companies paying ambulance reimbursements directly to consumers, rather than to ambulance companies.

Sites acknowledged this, but noted that wasn’t within their control. In his view,

losing Foster Township as a customer really hurt their numbers. He also said almost half the calls the ambulance responds to are non-billable, such as providing lift service for people who have fallen.

In July the ambulance responded to 40 calls, 36 of which were in town.

They are preparing for the annual pumpkin and apple dumpling sale fundraiser. The next WHAA board meeting is September 20.

In other business:

Barry Isett Engineering quoted a price of $30,000 to create a master plan for Main Street, of which $15,000 can be in-kind services. Borough manager Linda Szoke suggested using ARP money, since this is a long-term goal of the Chamber of Commerce and the borough.

Atty. Sean Logsdon said he and police chief Tom Szoke did a walk-through of borough building work, and found it completed to satisfaction, as of August 19, by contractor CE Ankewicz. A 2-year maintenance bond will be maintained, and a set of final plans is needed, as well as a second set of keys and operations manual for

the elevator.

The borough approved submitting an LSA grant of $470,082 to finish the second floor of the library. Public works is-getting ready for winter.

Three quotes were received for the painting of borough building exterior. Council accepted the lowest from Jet Painting at $5,750. Fine Line Painting gave a price of $6,500, and Caputo a price of $7,500.

White Haven VFW Commander Melissa Dimmit provided paperwork from the state VFW to nominate police, EMTs and fire fighters for public service awards. She requested permission to hold the annual homeless encampment October 20-22 by the caboose; that was left open to determine when Aqua would complete its pipe replacement project. The VFW’s Trunk or Treat is set for October 26, 5-7 p.m..

Dimmit ended by asking what is happening with the honor roll. Manager Szoke says she has been calling them, noting it is one year since the borough sent the company in Georgia a deposit. If she doesn’t hear from them, she will have the solicitor send them a letter. The new monument was supposed to be done for last Veterans Day. She added that the contractor will pour the slab for the monument when they put in the sidewalk to the south of the borough building.

Present were council members Charlie Best, Janosco, John Klem, Bob Lamson, Zane Writer, and John Zugarek; Harvey Morrison was absent. Council’s next meeting is Monday, September 25, at 7 p.m.

Dallas rallies past Crestwood for thrilling 42-35 victory

Comets’ Shedlock accounts for five TDs, but Mounts have the final word Crestwood sophomore quarterback Jaden Shedlock accounted for nearly 450 yards of offense and all five touchdowns with his legs and arm in what was his most productive game as a player.

Dallas senior Zach Paczewski had an answer for Shedlock and the host Comets. In the final 12 minutes of last Friday night’s WVC football

shootout, Paczewski caught three touchdown passes, then made the game-saving interception on defense on the night’s final play to finish off a 42-35 comefrom-behind victory for the Mountaineers

Paczewski’s heroics capped a 35-point second half for Dallas (2-0), which trailed the Comets (0-2) by two touchdowns at halftime. He started the fourth-quarter rally with a 21-yard catch-and-run on a screen pass, where

he outran the defense for his first touchdown of the period. Later, he hauled in a 58-yarder from Brady Zapoticky that put the Mounts on top for the first time since the opening quarter, 35-28. After Shedlock pulled the Comets into a tie on a 2-yard touchdown run, Paczewski put an exclamation point on his big night. On first-and-10 at his own 20, he latched on to another screen pass, went across the middle, then darted up the sideline. A big

Jane Chastain, NFL History-Maker

by Matthew Paris

The NFL regular season gets underway this weekend, and endless articles are available on the teams and players. This piece takes a different slant. It’s not about play on the field. It’s about game coverage in the booth and a woman who holds a lofty spot in the NFL history books. Jane Chastain is her name, the NFL’s first national female sports commentator.

Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, Chastain’s family moved to Smyrna, Georgia, where she later enrolled in modeling classes and went on to model in the Atlanta area. Chastain parlayed modeling work into a television career, thinking she would focus on children’s programming. But sports is where she made her name in a career that began in 1963.

WAGA-TV in Atlanta put out a call for a young woman to play the part of a football

coach and make weekly game predictions. Chastain got the part and was good at it, too – so much so that a Toronto newspaper asked her to predict the winner of the Grey Cup (Canadian pro football championship).

Chastain took the gig and made the right call, picking the underdog to win.

She got more attention while doing a TV show with an unusual title, The Jane Chastain Show: Everything You’ve Wanted to Know About Sports But Were Afraid to Ask. That exposure led to an offer from CBS, and history was made on October 13, 1974, when Chastain became the first female NFL commentator alongside Don Criqui and Ivy Cross.

She expanded her repertoire in the 1980s by commenting and writing about politics. That effort included hosting a radio program entitled What Washington Doesn’t Want You to Know. Chastain has

also written several books about politics.

Now 80 years old, Chastain is still active, writing for a Conservative blog and writing books with a strong political slant. Yes, Jan Chastain has done many things in her long life. But there is one thing that rose above the others when it came to making history -- her role in covering the NFL.

Texas-based Matthew Paris loves human interest stories in sports and regularly contributes to The Sports Column. You can read his work there and also listen to Matthew every Saturday morning on his sports podcast program, The Matthew Paris Show, available online at https:// www.listennotes.com/ podcasts/the-matthewparis-show-matthew-parismZO8R5bNgnf/

downfield block from Dylan Geskey got Paczewski into the end zone for the 80-yard score, and Dallas was back in front 42-35 with 2:53 remaining.

Crestwood didn’t go quietly, driving into the Dallas red zone. But with no time showing on the clock, Paczewski intercepted a Shedlock pass near the goal line to secure the thrilling win.

Paczewski’s three fourthquarter catches went for 159 yards and three scores and nullified a huge night from Shedlock. The second-year starter, who was coming back from an injury suffered in Week 1 at Valley View, rushed for a career-high 301 yards and three touchdowns. He also hit on 7-of-19 passes for 144 yards and a pair of touchdowns, both to Matt Sklarosky.

Shedlock had himself a night as well. He rushed for 301 yards and three scores, and threw for another two touchdowns, completing 7-of-19 for 144 yards.

Dallas scored first in the game, driving 80 yards in nine plays with Zapoticky taking it in from a yard out. Geskey’s 57-yard run keyed

the game-starting drive. But the Comets, who were making their home debut, were more than up to the challenge. While the defense tightened, getting a pair of interceptions and a fourthdown stop in the red zone, the Crestwood offense was clicking.

A Colin Lazo pick in Dallas territory set up the Comets’ first touchdown. On second-and-goal, Shedlock threw to the back of the end zone, where Sklarosky went up high over a Dallas defender for the score. The Comets added the two-point conversion to take their first lead at 8-7.

In the second quarter Shedlock and Sklarosky hooked up again on a slant across the middle for an 18-yard touchdown and 15-7 lead.

Shedlock’s 82-yard breakaway run later in the quarter sent the Comets to the locker room with a twotouchdown lead, setting the stage for the thrilling second half.

Crestwood will look for its first win of 2023 this Friday night, when the Comets visit unbeaten Wyoming Area (2-0).

Crestwood boys’ soccer preview

Comet soccer team looking to continue forward push

The Crestwood boys’ soccer team will look to bounce back from last year’s 3-7-2 season this fall, and head coach Hardy Pinto is confident his young team can put the Comets back into contender status soon.

“We are a young team with a lot of potential,” Pinto said in the preseason. “We are rebuilding from our success in the previous couple of years, but with this team, we think we can make progress in the right direction.”

The Comets will need to do so without four-year starting goalkeeper Cole Kranson, and four-year mainstay Tyler Furedi

at attacker, both lost to graduation. Kranson had 77 saves last season.

Pinto returns four starters in seniors Lars Stephensson and Mac Kline, and juniors Ethan Boellman and Ethan Zabroski.

Others returning with playing experience are senior Bailey Durofchalk; junior Nick Webb; and sophomores Colin Gordon, Niko Francisco and Cooper Laubach.

Pinto points to junior newcomers Jack Kwarcinski and Clark Groth as players who will step in and help right away.
