WASB meeting readies district for opening by Seth Isenberg

Francis E. Walter Dam study is subject of public hearing next week The House Pennsylvania Majority Policy Committee will convene a public hearing on Wednesday, September 30, at Split Rock’s Town Center to discuss the ongoing reevaluation study of the Francis E. Walter Dam and Reservoir by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, by request of State Representative Doyle Heffley. The hearing is from 1-3:30 p.m. at the Split Rock Resort, 428 Moseywood Road in Lake Harmony. Scheduled to testify are officials from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Delaware River Basin Commission, and

New York City Department of Environmental Protection, along with several business owners and representatives of economic development associations in the Poconos. The Army Corps of Engineers began the study earlier this year to examine whether potential improvements to infrastructure or operational methods could allow water in the reservoir to be used for other purposes to support the ecological health of the Delaware River Basin. In particular, officials will consider management options that could release additional water

under drought conditions to help reduce salinity downstream. “Like many local residents, I have some serious concerns about the impact the study may have on the future of tourism and outdoor recreation in our region,” said Heffley. “I am grateful Policy Committee Chairman (Martin) Causer and the committee have agreed to conduct an in-depth look at this issue and the possible economic consequences for northeastern Pennsylvania.” “The Policy Committee understands and appreciates

the significant value that the Lehigh River brings to the region’s tourism businesses,” Causer (R-Cameron/McKean/Potter) said. “Wednesday’s hearing will give the committee a better understanding of the status of the Army Corp’s reevaluation study of the Francis E. Walter Dam and the impact of any changes to the water flow.” Members of the public who are would like to attend but cannot in person can watch it live at www.pahousegop.com or www.Facebook.com/PAGOPPolicy.

The regular Weatherly Area School Board meeting for September was held just as the District started classes online. Members of the Board toured both District buildings ahead of opening to see all the work that was done during the construction project. The results are a “near new building,” shared board member Brian O’Donnell. (Editor’s Note: See photos of just a few of the renovations in this issue on page 6.) The meeting, held on Zoom, made quick work of a short agenda. Readings of policy changes include updates on electronic devices, lesson plans, and immunizations, plus new language on communicable diseases and attendance, health examinations and more. The new school calendar was approved, along with some new rules for educators. Bills of $1,241,212 were approved to be paid from August to September 9. Additionally, $646,822 was okayed for pay See WASB, page 4

Potential sewer connection process unclear in Dennison Township by Ruth Isenberg

The request by Dennison Township resident Clarence Fisher to have one of his properties hooked up to the sewer line running through the township to Penn Lake Borough is not a simple issue, Dennison supervisors learned through discussion at the September 2 meeting. Supervisor-Sheila Weaver conacted PennDOT to find out the procedure, since hookup would involve boring under the state road. She was told the owner

of the sewer line must fill out the application and have the work done. PennDOT will not allow a resident to bore under a state road. Suggestions included fining out if PennDOT will allow the township to fill out application but have the property owner pay for it. Because the system belongs to Penn Lake, Fisher may need to talk to Penn Lake council. The alternative will be the installation of an onlot system. Supervisor Bruce Thomas suggested seeking answers from PA state repre-

sentative Gerald Mullery. Minutes and treasurer’s report were approved as presented, though Thomas requested itemized solicitor’s bills in future. The police report listed 52.33 hours of coverage. Zoning officer Jack Varaly issued one permit, and said he would be issuing a citation for violations on the Jose Mendez property on Tunnel Road. Roadmaster Jim Yackiel reported he had cleaned out culverts, cut weeds around Hollenback bridge, painted the

base of the flagpole and cut grass away from the township building, and powerwashed it. He removed a tree branch on Peat Moss Road, cleared out a drainage pipe at Hazle and Linden streets. The mailer for the township recycling event was mailed and everything was in place for the day. Supervisor Mike Mack said he would be there to help handle the dumpsters. Dennison Township Volunteer Fire Company trained with Foster Township during August, said president Bill

Bauersfeld, for a total of 10 hours of training, and has also been training with Valley Regional. There were three call for the month in Dennison Township, and three calls in White Haven. Supervisors voted to advertise an ordinance for the abandonment of 5,000 feet at the south end of Seventh Street, as requested by Craig and Karen Jones. Dennison Township Supervisors will meet next on Wednesday, October 7, at 6 p.m.

Veterans Corner Commentary by John Kearns, USCG Ret., chiefkearns@gmail.com VIRTUAL DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS

The VA is making this available to all veterans enrolled in Veterans Healthcare, the technology and convenience of video medical visits. This will eliminate time and travel for non-critical medical visits in person. This will not, and should not eliminate face to face doctor visits. It is not intended to. It adds a greater enhancement to the healthcare for veterans. In the past, many veterans did not have home internet or phones /tablets capable of video. The VA now offers qualified veterans free of charge iPads with video and internet access. In the first round, 50,000 will be distributed. Commentators Note: This is a great free program, using an iPad is extremely easy to learn. You can always be in touch with your medical providers, even when traveling. I use it often, saving me time driving to the VA and back. It is especially useful in winter

months during hazardous driving. This is from the VA’s news release: “VA’s partnership with Apple is an integral step in helping to bridge the digital divide for Veterans everywhere. This is particularly critical during the COVID-19 public health emergency, when telehealth is being leveraged to protect the safety and well-being of both our Veterans and clinicians.” A VA study found Veterans who received tablets reported high levels of satisfaction with care, were less likely to miss appointments and found it easier and more convenient to access VA care. iPads offer Veterans the combination of portability, user experience, data privacy and security made possible through Apple’s integrated hardware and software platform. The collaboration between VA and Apple, facilitated by the VA Secretary’s Center for Strategic Partnerships, provides VA with Apple’s expertise to help enhance the platform and en-

sure Veterans and health care professionals have the best telehealth experience. “VA’s iPad program provides unparalleled convenience and flexibility when attending my VA appointments,” said Fiona Garcia, a U.S. Air Force Veteran who served from 2001-2011. “After receiving an iPad in March, I’ve been able to receive VA care when and where I need it most. The technology also allows me to stay connected with my doctors when I am not near a Wi-Fi connection or near the VA medical center.” As part of VA’s commitment to supporting Veteran health care, patients can also securely view and download their personal medical data using the Health Records on iPhone feature from Apple. Veterans who do not currently have a video-capable device or internet service and are interested in VA’s telehealth iPad program should consult their VA health care team to determine their eligibility.

Seth’s Sightings This past weekend was a bit sedate, due to the Jewish New Year holy day, but we were still able to squeeze a bit of everything into the weekend. Friday before sundown we enjoyed a fine Columbian meal, outdoors on Route 209 in the restaurant’s parking lot, turned into a café, with a view of the heavy traffic. The food was superb. Worship services for Rosh Hashana at Temple Israel, where we worship, were via Zoom. We were able to phone in, which is far from the most satisfactory way to worship, but better than missing the service. Saturday afternoon, we went to visit Slater at the hospital. He’s improving some, and we are hopeful. It has been a week since we added a second dog to our home. We’re still getting used to having any dog in the house,

and now there’s two. The small one, Spookie, has been easy, but skittish, still getting used to kind words, soft petting, regular food, treats and a safe place to sleep. The big one, Bull, is a bit needy — still uneasy about being given up. When I set my computer onto my lap for some work, soon I have a large dog nose on one side of the keyboard, though he’ll then settle in close by and guard me. We were able to get home before sunset on Saturday with enough time for a visit to the dog park. Bull, a Pointer, really likes his exercise. The dog park gives him enough room to run, so we’ve started to play ball with him. On a second visit this past weekend, we gave him a brand new tennis ball. After about three fetches, he sat down and chewed a hole in it, then chewed it into pieces. I plan

to be using something more durable going forward. Sunday afternoon, we stopped by Eagle Arms’ gun show at Split Rock. The place was busy, but not so crowded as to be uncomfortable in this socially-distanced era. The coolest thing at this show I thought was for sale by one of the sellers of historic guns — a genuine Tommy Gun from the 1930s, like you see in old gangster movies. At the show, Ruth got some warm Alpaca socks from the socks vendor who is a regular. We visited with friends and their four dogs and one cat, all of whom wanted some of our attention. The cat was after my fuzzy jacket. Sunsets have been spectacular, which is supposed to be due to the particulate from the wildfires out west. It’s a shame to see the remote areas burning on the west coast. I have constantly worried about our area. I’m particularly concerned in our area about both standing and fallen dead timber. We can send professionals in to get these things cut and removed, lowering the hazard.

Sightings this week include another eagle overflight, several foxes, a few good sized bucks seen in the early evening, a possible bobcat, and what we think was a coyote pup. Not too bad of a list. I’ve also sighted and squashed a few lanternflies. As you would expect, I am excited to know Penn State will be playing football in October. This should be a very good year for them, and Ruth and I are eager to spend Saturdays listening to games on Penn State Radio. As for other sports, the Celtics are not eliminated as of this writing. It would be great if they could make the finals. I’m not pleased about the Patriots loss, and even more unhappy with the Eagles. I think the Patriots can play with good teams, and am not sure at all about the Eagles. Ice hockey in the summer is weird enough, but a final with Tampa Bay versus Dallas is not good even as it’s good hockey. I’ve never seen Tampa for a hockey town. I was online with the WilkesBarre/ Scranton Penguins office watching a promotion

on Tuesday. Both of us want to be in the arena cheering on our local AHL team, socially distanced as we have to. The AHL is promising an early December start. It’s been nice to enjoy this dry spell, so we can see the wonderful sunsets that are enhanced by the particulate in the air from the wildfires out west. Let’s hope they get some rain — or snow — soon. With these really cold nights, the foliage has started to turn. There’s some great reds on select trees, including a nice group of maples in the high swamp on the Broad Mountain between Weatherly and Jim Thorpe. I just hope foliage season stays with us through the end of October.

Kendra McCoy of White Haven received a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. Jennifer McLaughlin of White Haven received a Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing. A formal commencement ceremony honoring 2020 and 2021 graduates will be held in May 2021, dependent on the guidance from national and state health officials.

testing for the lake has ended for the year, with numbers consistent — well below any problem levels. A discussion of roads led to a plan to put a 4-way STOP sign set at the junctions of Horseshoe and Hollenback Roads. Plans are also started to fix a swale on Hollenback where the soil has washed out in spots and only rocks remain. About zoning, complaints are being made to council members, and so a reminder was made to that they need to be make complaints directly to the zoning officer if any prompt action is expected. Complaining to council members only slows the process. Discussion of sewers noted that a few more grinder pumps had failed, and that the borough needed to buy another six to have them on hand

when the next batch of them fails. A Dennison Township homeowner whose property is on Middleburg Road along the Penn Lake sewer line is asking how to get hooked up onto the line. The grant from the DCNR has arrived and an account is set up for it, so bids can be sought for the work. The Treasurer’s report for September shows $23,848 in the DCNR account, $23,061 in the roads account, $18,480 remaining in the garbage fund, and $262 left in the dam fund after a transfer of $199 into it. The general funds have $98,884 in the interest-bearing account (earned $2 in interest on that last month), and $4,021 in the general fund checking.

Bills approved this month were $20,427, mostly the $10,317 for the monthly sewer loan payment; $3,863 to County Waste for hauling; $1,697 to Elliot, Greenleaf for borough and dam legal work plus $350 for attorney John Dean’s monthly retainer; $1,152 to engineers Borton Lawson for the DCNR grant; $858.33 for police coverage; $850 to Responsible Recycling for the electronics recycling day; and $450 for the quarter for fire protection from White Haven VFC#1. Council extended the state of emergency related to COVID-19 through the end of October. The next Penn Lake Council meeting will be October 8, still on Zoom, starting at 7 p.m.

My favorite college football story:

The little school that could by Frank Fear

Even seven points. The squad had big road wins at Indiana, Virthe iconic Rose Bowl was played between military teams ginia, and West Virginia, and (Navy and Marines). But what shellacked the University of Kentucky, 56-0, at home. All happened the next year also of this was accomplished with made headlines – headlines an enrollment of fewer than we’ll never see again. 250 students. Incredible! Five teams vied for college It’s Centre College of Danfootball’s mythical nationville, KY. Established in 1819, al crown that year (there the college got its name for weren’t playoffs in those literal reasons: Danville is days), and four teams were located near the geographic household names: Illinois center of the Commonwealth. (Big Ten champ), the Texas And 1919 wasn’t the only year Aggies (Southwest Conferthe Colonials made football ence champ), Harvard (Ivy League champ), and indepen- noise. Centre went 57-8 from 1917-24, including consecutive dent Notre Dame. But this undefeated seasons in 1918 story isn’t about any of those squads. It’s about a fifth team and 1919. And after the team beat Harvard in 1921, Centre -- the team that football analyst Jeff Sagarin says IS 1919’s claimed that it had won another national championship. national champion. Here’s

The ‘21 team used the same 1919 formula – routing teams and giving up few points (including nine shutouts). And Harvard wasn’t the only big name Centre vanquished that year. The Colonels also beat Clemson, Virginia Tech, Kentucky, Auburn, and Tulane in the regular season and, then, CC embarked on the unheard-of quest (in today’s terms) of playing in two bowl games. Center beat Arizona in the first, but luck ran out against Texas A&M in the Dixie Classic (precursor to the Cotton Bowl). The loss cost Centre another national crown. And 1921 wasn’t the end of CC’s football prowess. On consecutive Saturdays in 1924, Centre beat Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. Wow. But 1919 was the extraordinary year, even though it started as a tall climb. Playing a smattering of lower-level teams didn’t help Centre’s cause -- even though they won big. That doesn’t matter

when you’re playing Hanover, Xavier (OH), Transylvania, DePauw (not DePaul), and Georgetown (KY, not DC). Heads turned when Centre won at Indiana and Virginia (combined scores of 56-10), and the road victory against West Virginia in Charleston sealed the deal. The nation’s eyes were riveted on the Mountaineers because they had the nation’s best player, Ira Errett Rodgers, 1919’s leading scorer. West Virginia got out to a first-quarter lead and went into halftime ahead 6-0. The second half was a different story—a story about Centre’s patented formula of playing shutout ball. The Colonials scored two TDs, the Mountaineers were scoreless, and Centre won the game, 14-6. As legend has it, Centre’s captain Bo McMillin had the team pray before kickoff, figuring that God’s intervention might help. Whether or not it did is a moot point, but what happened next is not.

that day forward, Centre College teams would be known as ‘The Praying Colonels.’ Today, Centre plays Division III football in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Association. The team went 5-5 last year 100 years after it made college football history. Centre still plays Hanover, but the big-name teams are longgone from the schedule. Fans see Millsaps, Sewanee, and Rhodes instead. And this season? Well, there was nothing. While the War and Flu didn’t sidetrack the Colonels of 1918 (Centre went 4-0 that year), in 2020, the COVID pandemic did. Looking forward, 2021 will be another year to celebrate Centre’s former status as a national football power. 1921 is the year The Praying Colonels had that big road win against previously undefeated Harvard. Played in front of 45,000+ fans - with advance posters at Harvard misspelling the school’s name (‘Center’) -- it was an upset for the ages. “David Shunks Goliath” is the way The New York Times put it. Years later, Bleacher Report ranks it as the #2 upset of all time. Fansided has it #6. And if you go to Dansville, KY these days, you’ll discover that memories linger. On the side of the old post office, you’ll see what looks like a chemical formula for a concoction of carbon and hydrogen, C6H0. No chemistry formula is this. It’s about football: Centre 6, Harvard 0. Frank Fear is a football historian, and managing editor of The Sports Column.

Crestwood field hockey preview

Plenty of potential for Crestwood stickers Potential is the key word for the Crestwood field hockey team this fall. Head coach Patsy Moratori has the program building back up again, as it went 8-12 last season but playing its best hockey late in the season. They were finally ousted by four-time district champ Wyoming Valley West 2-0 in the District 2 Class 2A

title game, who went on to win the state championship. The Comets’ biggest graduation loss was four-year starter Sarah Richards, who took her talents to Ohio State. But Moratori likes what she sees in her team as it embarks on another tough Wyoming Valley Conference schedule. “Our team has a lot of potential,”

Puzzle Answers

Moratori said in the preseason. “Many girls worked extremely hard in the offseason to prepare for this season.” Seniors Emily Davidson (forward), Tori Harper (defender), Mallory Moratori (defender/midfield), Taylor Yeager (midfield/ defender) and Alex Lipinski (forward) lead the way for the 2020 Comets. Juniors Emma George (midfield/ defender/ forward), Krista Papura (defender) and Aubrey Colo (midfield) also return, while sophomores Emma Guydish (midfield) and goalkeeper Isabella Caporuscio are already household names at Crestwood. “We look to be competitive in every game, improve as the season progresses, and improve on last year’s record,” Moratori said.

Journal-Herald Sports Crestwood football 9 24

Opportunistic Comets climb to 2-0 The Crestwood defense came up with four turnovers and cashed them in for 19 points, propelling the Comets to their second win of the young season Friday night, 33-21 over Tunkhannock. The visiting Comets intercepted Tunkhannock quarterback Jack Chilson three times, and took control in the second quarter. Already leading 7-0, Crestwood’s Brenden DeMarzo’s pick at the Tiger 22 set

up a 13-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Petrosky to Logan Arnold, and the Comets were off and running. On the ensuing kickoff, Marcus Vieney recovered a fumble at the Tunkhannock 37. A Petrosky-to-Arnold 34yard completion set the table for Petrosky’s 3-yard keeper and staked the Comets to a 20-0 lead. Following a Crestwood fumble, the Tigers got on board just before the half

on a Chilson-to-Jason Baltrusaitis 6-yard TD pass. The Tigers pulled within a touchdown midway through the third quarter after Chilson threw to Jakob Zacharias for a 6-yard score. But the Comets answered as Petrosky led a 12-play scoring drive capped by his 5-yard touchdown toss to DeMarzo, making it 27-13 heading to the fourth. With the Tigers driving in the fourth quarter, Vieney

stepped in front of a Chilson pass at the 1-yard line and returned the interception 84 yards. Jimmy Hawley followed with a 2-yard touchdown run six plays later to seal the deal and sending the Comets to 2-0 on the year. Tunkhannock added a late touchdown pass to account for the final score. Petrosky finished with 219 yards passing and two touchdowns, and 68 rushing and a

pair of scores for the Comets. Chilson went 21-of-42 for 245 yards and three scores, with three interceptions. Nate Lord caught 10 passes for 154 yards. The Comets will look to continue its early-season momentum this Friday night neighboring Nanticoke Area (0-2), which lost to Lake-Lehman 35-3 in Week 2. Tunkhannock (0-1) will play at Hazleton Area Friday.

Purple and Orange new fall colors in the state OUT IN THE OPEN

less than three feet from the ground or more than five feet from the ground. The painted trees or posts cannot be more than 100-feet apart.

by Alex Zidock As you drive around the Poconos, you may notice many roadside trees or posts sprayed with vertical purple stripes. Last November, Governor Wolf signed House Bill 1772 into law, allowing landowners to “post” their property as “NO TRESPASSING” with purple paint. The “purple paint law” eliminates landowners’ need to post paper or plastic “No Hunting” signs that can deteriorate over time. Under the law, any person found on posted property without permission could be considered a trespasser and could face a third-degree misdemeanor offense punishable by up to a year in jail and $2,500.00 in fines.

carrying a firearm on the posted property could also face additional game-law violations and penalties. However, the new law authorizes unarmed persons to go onto private property for the sole purpose of retrieving a hunting dog. The purple vertical lines painted on trees or posts must be at least eight inches long and at least one-inch wide. The stripe’s bottom can’t be

In the past, non-hunters were required to wear fluorescent orange clothing while on

state game lands during hunting seasons, but the orange was not required on Sundays. Since hunting is allowed now on three Sundays during the hunting seasons, all persons using the game lands for any activities must wear fluorescent orange for November 15 through December 15. The requirement for hikers and non-hunters is to wear

at least 250 square inches of fluorescent-orange clothing on the head, chest, and back combined, visible from 360 degrees when visiting state game lands during that period. If you are using the shooting ranges on state game lands during those times, you are exempt from the requirement.
