Weatherly Borough Manager Pudliner awarded by AMP

Friends and family of Jim Mariner gathered at LOWLPA this past Sunday, October 24, to hang a brass bell at the hunting club in memory of Jim, who passed away tragically this summer. Jim was a long-time president of LOWLPA, an avid outdoorsman, and was essential the success of the hunting club. Jim’s mom, Alberta Mariner, provided comments and gave thanks to club members who organized the event. Even though the weather caused LOWLPA’s annual trap shoot scheduled for Sunday to be cancelled due to heavy rains, LOWLPA did its best to make lemonade out of lemons, with all enjoying an afternoon of company and fond memories of Jim.

Dress Like John Fetterman Day

by Seth Isenberg

As the temperatures drop and sweatshirts are more in fashion, I’ve gotten to thinking that, just as in the United States Senate, we should all take a day and dress like John Fetterman, our elected U. S. Senator. I have even gone out and bought some new cargo shorts to be part of the new fashion.

If Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer believes that a hoodie and shorts is proper attire for someone working in the chamber of the U. S. Senate, why not the rest of us?

To honor the wisdom of Senators Schumer and Fetterman, I propose that citizens of the state of Pennsylvania and likeminded people throughout the United States choose to dress like John Fetterman on October 31.

Fashion forward

by Ruth Isenberg

I guess I really am turning into a crabby senior citizen. I’m all for comfort, and come to my office mid-week and you will find me in jeans and a sweater. All the same, I’ve lived long enough to know that if you dress neatly and to fit the occasion, you will do better in life.

How you present yourself reflects your attitude. The Senate represents the American people, and deserves respect for that reason. Most elected officials will continue to dress respectfully.

A mini-golf-a-thon is planned to help raise money for the Greater Weatherly Ambulance and White Haven Ambulance Associations, to be held at the Split Rock Resort mini-golf course on October 30. Donations to golfers per hole will go towards the ambulances. The Greater Weatherly AA recently announced plans to buy a new Marque ambulance at a cost of $70,000.

At a special session of the Weatherly Area School Board, parents voiced concerns about

kindergarten classes of 32 and 33 children “too large to be conducive to a good learning environment…”

Superintendent Peter McMonigle wants to study the problem for a month, while the parents want action immediately. He explained it would cost an estimated $30,000 for salary and benefits, something that is not budgeted for this fiscal year. Half day classes would add transportation costs.

The Cabot Corporation appealed conditions set by Foster Township on the closing and cleanup of their former beryllium plant.

Rick Garber and Mountain Associates travel have planned a bus trip to West

Point, NY this Saturday to see the Corps of Cadets parade and the Army vs. Akron football game. Cost is $40.

Steve Stallone’s Pigskin Picks are now 25-14-1 due to a good week of picking high school game winners.

Jason Donadi (of Weatherly) again contributed big plays for Marian Catholic for a 34-6 win over Panther Valley.

The review this week was of The Top of the Eighties restaurant in Sugarloaf delightful.

This issue had no 50 Years Ago.

PennDOT invites feedback on Construction, Maintenance Services

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is accepting construction and maintenance services feedback through an online survey. The public can take the survey through October 20 by visiting 2023 PennDOT Construction/ Maintenance Customer Satisfaction Survey. Construction and maintenance work has been underway across the state this year. From January through August, 485 bridges were put out for bid to be repaired, replaced, or preserved by PennDOT or industry forces. So far this year 161 state

and local bridges were completed, 17 of which went out for bid this year. Additionally, from January through August more than 3,100 roadway miles were improved by department or partner crews. This includes 1,065 miles of paving.

“The PennDOT team and our industry partners work hard to keep people moving and our economy growing,” PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll said. “This survey is one way that we continually look for educational opportunities and areas of success or potential improvement.”

The 24-question survey

asks respondents how they receive PennDOT roadway information and how often PennDOT meets or exceeds expectations in construction and maintenance activities. Respondents are also asked about experiences with reporting concerns to the department, and whether or how they use the state’s 511PA traveler information services.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.

East Side looking at grant opportunities

by Ruth Isenberg

Grants and grant applications were discussed at the September 7 East Side Borough Council meeting. Council approved applying for a DCNR matching grant for playground improvements. Cost to apply is $100. There is also a Carbon County block grant that could be used as a match, and to cover the cost of engineering. Applying for an LSA grant that could be used toward a community building was tabled until October.

Secretary/treasurer Carol Lenahan is putting together the employee handbook required by the borough’s insurance carrier.

The snow removal contract was discussed. The current contractor has a two-year option to continue. He will be contacted to see if he wants to continue. If not, council will advertise for this year.

A property owner along Route 940 wants to connect to the sewer line. He was told that an individual cannot get a highway occupancy permit to do so. The application must come from the utility company or the municipality. Council

suggested he talk to Aqua Pennsylvania.

East Side continues to seek help from PennDOT in fixing River Street and its drainage issues.

Mayor Eric Siglin presented samples of ordinances for fire company reimbursement, and burning. Opinions varied on controlling burning in the borough.In August, council opted to continue its fire protection service with the White Haven Volunteer Fire Company.

His early life was spent in Philadelphia, but the family moved to Allentown, and he graduated from Parkland High School.

He graduated from Princeton University in 1967 with a major in religious studies and worked briefly as a newspaper reporter before earning a PhD in government from Cornell University. He also spent a year at the University of Heidelberg and later spent several months at the Technical University of Berlin.

From 1974 until retirement in 2016 he taught first at Boston College and then for 37 years at the University of Oklahoma. His publications focused on the works of Alexis de Tocqueville and G.W.F.

administration for Air Force personnel, and during summers, Don frequently taught courses in ethics at various bases throughout Japan, Korea, Hawaii, the continental United States and Europe.

Don enjoyed classical music, especially Bach’s cello suites, travel in Europe and the Oklahoma Sooners. Most of all he loved his family, especially dinner table conversations with his children and grandchildren. He was a great dad and a beloved granddad. He attended nearly every game his kids played in, irrespective of the Oklahoma summers, taught them all to love reading, and celebrated their successes as they graduated, started careers, and began their own families.

An enduring memory of Don will be of him sitting on the front porch in his redwood rocking chair, wearing a tweed sport coat, reading Winston Churchill history, while the kids played in the front yard.

Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife, Maryanne Brasuell Maletz; children, Elizabeth (Jean Cedric de Foy) Maletz of Brooklyn, Christopher (Estelle) Maletz of Alexandria, VA, Andrew (Deborah) Maletz of Annandale,

Seven Hats

Continued from page 1

through a video conference. It was a surprise to Pudliner, but his staff knew all about it. They worked with the AMP staff to coordinate the presentation, and invited council, borough employees and the media.

The Seven Hats award is so named because it is given to a utility manager who serves a community with fewer than 2,500 meters. Managers of communities of that size end up doing a variety of jobs that managers of larger systems don’t have to do—hence the “seven hats.”

American Municipal Power, Inc. (AMP) is the nonprofit wholesale power supplier and services provider for 133 Members across nine states, including 132 municipal Members in the states of Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia; as well as the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation, a joint action agency with eight Delaware municipal members.

Weatherly has been a member for 20 years.

Pudliner holds the award, surrounded by borough employees. In the front row are Tracy Grover, Pudliner, and Lori O’Donnell; second row, from left, Michael Bogart, John Furmanchin, Amy Bird, Karen Kiddish, Brian Markovchick and Max Walters; third row, Donny Weston, Chad Maleski, Matt Quinn, Corey Gerhart, Joshua Krieger and Bradford Miletto.

Seth’s Sightings

It was a light week for us. I had my infusion on Thursday, and was laid up until I recovered some energy on Saturday. Ruth and I used that to drive to downtown Bethlehem to see some of the Celtic Classic event.

It was lightly raining and a bit breezy as we arrived. Handicap parking is right beside the Piping Grove, and we were greeted on our arrival by the sound of bagpipes. We enjoyed some pipe band performances, then headed under the Tavern tent to enjoy the performance of modern Celtic music by Tempest (fiddle and electric guitars…nice). The wind and rain picked up, so we headed back to the car on the promise of a nice dinner at the Marblehead Chowderhouse a short drive east, just off Route 33.

On our drive home, we enjoyed Penn State football team’s win over Iowa. It’s looking like another good year leading to a top bowl game. We’ll see how the

by Seth Isenberg

team measures against Michigan and Ohio State before seeing if the Nittany Lions might challenge for the Division 1 championship. Ohio State had a wonderful win versus Notre Dame, at ND’s stadium, scoring a touchdown with one second to go.

In other football, I follow some 1AA teams including Incarnate Word U. out of Texas, who hosted a football team from North American University, a college that appeared to have never played a competitive game at this level with Word coming out with an easy win 56 to 3. I looked them up, NAU of Stafford, TX, plays NAIA football. They travelled to Portland State last week and were shut out, 91-0. IWU was nice enough to let them score a field goal.

Added to my football happy list was a good win by the Philadelphia Eagles, and by a big win Crestwood High School. The Patriots and the Steelers even won.

Sunday was genuinely rainy. We stayed close, going

out to the Hickory Hills Ice Cream Social then returning home to prepare for Yom Kippur worship. Between online and in person, we prayed and reflected on our year. At the end of services, we enjoyed a break-the-fast and social.

Tuesday, it was back to work on this newspaper.

Ruth and I are hoping to attend to the Bloomsburg Fair tonight, or on Friday or Saturday or maybe both Thursday and Saturday. It will depend on the weather and how I am feeling.

Looking back, the weather Saturday cancelled Penn Forest Park Day, and the LOWLPA Shooting Match. Night at the Races at the fire house in Long Pond was done in by a firefighter exposed to COVID.

One of our writing team spent his weekend recovering from a cold.

So, my first wish to you is for good health for you all, and good football. AND, With the true start of this foliage season hereabouts… rakes at the ready.

Lehigh Planning Commission shrinks

by Ruth Isenberg

Starting January 1, the Lehigh Township Planning Commission will shrink from nine members to five, following an affirmative vote at the September 5 Lehigh Township Supervisors meeting.

Supervisors voted to file liens against properties for outstanding garbage bills that go back as far as 2017. The bills were accrued by previous owners, and since the properties are up for sale, would be collected when they are sold.

The appeals on liens previously filed were denied by Carbon County Court of Common Pleas Judge Steven Serfass.

Lehigh & Lausanne Fire Chief Tim Rossman reported four calls for the month, one each in Lehigh and Lausanne Townships, one in Hazle Township, and one in Tobyhanna Township. Members are still needed.

The Homecoming event was not financially successful.

Cynthia Sweitzer of

Rockport complained that no one has done any work on Grist Mill Road. “I want to know why you won’t help.” She said the water problem on the road has occurring for years, and has gotten worse since the county replaced the old open grate bridge.

During the treasurer’s report, it was noted that ARP money can be used to fix drainage issues on Grist Mill Road.

Present were supervisors Pawel Fiolek and Larry Skinner, and secretary/ treasurer Carol Lenahan. The supervisors meet next on Monday, October 2, at 1 p.m. at the township building.

Night at the Races is back

Baseball and Pickleball join forces in Nashville, TN

by Rich Lynch

All sports are part-year endeavors, meaning most stadiums aren’t used twelve months a year. Taking inspiration from the Boston Red Sox, that won’t be the case this winter in Nashville, TN.

During this year’s All-Star break, the Red Sox opened Fenway Park to fans for a “non-baseball event” - an opportunity for fans to play pickleball, America’s fastgrowing sport. In Nashville, local fans learned earlier this month that the Nashville Sounds, a Triple-A minor league team, will open First Horizon Park from November to March so that -just as in Boston- fans can play pickleball.

baseball over the winter, in Nashville, at least, pickleball will also be a thing at First Horizon Park. Come November, “Play Ball!” will have a different but attractive meaning in Music City.

Rich Lynch is a songwriter and recording artist in Music City Nashville. Lynch has always had a passion for sports, and he expresses that passion at The Sports Column. You can learn more about his music at http://www. richlynchband.com/

If a gift, sign the card from:

The innovative arrangement will happen thanks to a collaboration between the Sounds and the “Dinkville,” a local pickleball organization that enables pickleball play in leagues, tournaments, and open courts.

While there will always be “The Hot Stove League” in

Comets soar past Millionaires for second straight football win

6 home game with WilkesBarre Area this Friday night.

Against Williamsport, the Comets had their way early, building a 28-point lead before halftime, and cruising home with a second straight win.

Crestwood opened the game with a long run by Colin Lazo that would set up a 57-yard touchdown run by quarterback Jaden Shedlock. Later, Shedlock hooked up with Lazo on a 51-yard pass play for a second-quarter touchdown.

Running back James Barrett added 98 rushing yards and a nine-yard score, and reserve freshman quarterback Jack Rodgers connected with Matt Sklarosky on a long touchdown pass late in the second quarter that capped the Comets’ scoring.

Shedlock finished with 88 yards on eight carries in a short night of work, as he and the Comet runners went over 300 yards rushing for the game. Shedlock also threw for 77 and a score.
