Editorial

Local elections matter by Seth Isenberg Tuesday is election day. Local elections such as these are where political meets the people. The candidates we vote for will set taxes, see that roads are fixed, and make important decisions about our schools and kids. There are competitive contests for both Crestwood and Weatherly Area School Boards. For Crestwood, the White Haven area has a local candidate for the first time in many years — Denise Chaytor-Zugarek. It’s been The JournalHerald’s position for decades that the White Haven area should have a continuing voice on the Crestwood School Board. Weatherly Area has a one-on-one contest for a twoyear term, and there are six candidates for five seats for the fours. No matter which candidates voters choose here, there will be a new vibe with the board as new members fit in, or choose not to. Weatherly Council has a competitive race, three candidates for two seats. Voters here choose for the same, or vote for a difference. Most of the rest of the locals are uncontested, though some may be affected by write-ins. Contests are in place at the county and judicial levels. There are good candidates at the county level and they deserve your coming out for 15 minutes or so to vote for them. Judges are key to keeping Pennsylvania from drifting too far to the right or left — so choose carefully. Your vote matters. You going out and voting matters. Thank you for your voting. And if you choose not to vote, you have no basis to complain about what happens going forward.

Road painting may povide warning as Lehigh STOP signs continue to vanish by Ruth Isenberg Lehigh Township supervisors are considering painting STOP bars on township roads where STOP signs have been stolen. At the October 2 meeting, chairman Larry Skinner said he was going to consult with the state police about ways to monitor the signs. A resident suggested painting SLOW on the road at the intersection of Leslie Run Road with Laurytown Road to deter people from going straight onto Sawmill. A letter from Lausanne Township complained about stormwater runoff onto their

portion of South Stagecoach Road. Roadmaster/ supervisor Len Weston said the gutters are clear, and Skinner added that when the Lehigh Township section of the road was paved, the last 200’ was deliberately sloped so the water would run to the sides. The Planning Commission met and recommended the Zoning Hearing Board deny the appeal of the zoning officer’s rejection of a private campground. The Lehigh & Lausanne Volunteer Fire Department responded to five calls during September, three in Lehigh Township, one in Hazle Township, and

one in Weatherly Borough. Members are still needed. Weston said the Gristmill Road project is coming up soon. He asked Cynthia Sweitzer, who had complained about water runoff from Gristmill at previous meetings, if recent work clearing the ditches had helped. She responded that it would be necessary to dig a culvert to permanently improve the situation, instead of pushing the dirt up the hill. Lehigh Township Supervisors meet again on Monday, November 6, at 1 p.m.

Scenes from the Weatherly Halloween Parade, 2023

Carbon County Voters On November 7

Elect KAYLA HERMAN as Controller •Experience, •Integrity, and •Commitment Paid for by the candidate.

Seth’s Sightings Having enjoyed Indian Summer, with temperatures in the 70s, the weather has turned toward fall. Nighttime temperatures bring us frost. Daytime temperatures barely warm us. Accuweather predicts a winter where our area is at the edge of a lot of activity, which I choose to believe will mean more snow. I’m glad that didn’t mean snow in October. Looking into our newspaper archives, I see that in 1993 there

was a blizzard just before Halloween. We’d had a few warm winters before then. We’ll see if 2023-2024 indeed is a cold, snowy winter. We’ve really been given a treat with this year’s foliage. Now we are to pay the piper in terms of raking up. During our drives there was still some spotty color, and I would note that it’s special when you run through an area where there’s a lot of oak trees.

THE JOURNAL-HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2023— PAGE 7 by Seth Isenberg

You can still see a variety of different colors from yellow to maroon to brown. Some of us still have maple trees to finish up the show. Ruth and I will be raking for two extra thanks to the two maples in the back of our property that insist upon hanging onto their leaves. We’ll see what the frosts will do. About frosts, we’ve taken in plants ahead of the hard frost. It will be nice to have some greenery around the

inside of the house. Along with deer sightings, I spotted a raccoon and have a couple of sightings of kittens. Local cats have had their litters just in time for the kittens to get big enough to fare well during the winter. The Eagles won, beating the Commanders. The Giants lost a stinker to the Jets. The Cowboys won and come into Philly ready to show up the Eagles. An Eagles win goes a long way to being atop the division when January rolls around. In college football, Penn State beat a strong opponent, and Incarnate Word U. routed their foe. Penn State is on the road to face a good Maryland team — where a win sets up the best of college bowl prospects. We have hopes to attend the last Lafayette home game of their season, as we won some tickets in a summer basket raffle. The Leopards are the top team of the Patriot League in 1AA football. There are some great Hallowe’en displays to be enjoyed. Here are some photos. I’m sad to see the end of the season of “boo”

and am hoping some fall displays remain up until the Christmas displays are out to brighten the darkness. Standard Time kicks back in on Sunday morning, with the only bonus being earlier sunsets.

Keep yourselves well, and please vote on November 7.

Weatherly Area Cross Country

Wreckers’ Otero headed to state meet Weatherly Area runner Carlos Otero will compete at the state meet this weekend after his solid finish at last Wednesday’s District 11 Class A Cross Country Championships at DeSales University. He clocked a time of 18:46 to place 14th in the boys’ Class A field and punch his ticket to the state meet, set for Saturday in Hershey. Minersville repeated as team champion, and Marian clinched the second

state berth as a team. Minersville’s Kolin Long and Marian’s Albin Petschauer separated themselves from the field halfway through the 5,000-meter race. They remained together until the final mile, when Long used a big kick to finish first in 17:07. Petschauer was second in 17:14. Ayden Kurtek took seventh in 18:15, and Keegan Dube placed ninth in 18:23 to spark the Miners, who finished with

50 points. Logan Perzel was 15th in 19:05 and Johnny Burgess (19:51) was 23rd. Alex Porambo was fifth in 18:07 and teammate Wade

Eroh placed 20th in 19:24 for Marian, which finished with 83 points. The top two teams and 10 individuals not on those

teams qualify for the state championships, which will be held Saturday at the Parkview Cross Country Course in Hershey.

Crestwood Cross Country

Crestwood girls repeat as district cross country champs Lady Comets, Crestwood boys qualify for state meet The Crestwood girls’ and boys’ cross country teams are heading to states. Last Wednesday at the Wyoming County Fairgrounds in Meshoppen, the Crestwood girls slipped past Dallas to win the District 2 Class 2A team championship and punch their ticket to the state meet. The Crestwood boys followed suit, placing second in the Class 2A team race to also secure a berth in the PIAA Championships, which will be held this weekend. Dallas junior Madison Hedglin was the medalist of the girls’ 2A race,

clocking a time of 18:39.2 on the 3.1-mile course. She finished 27 seconds ahead of race runner-up Katie Kozich. The Crestwood sophomore posted a time of 19:06.6 to lead a flurry of Lady Comets to the finish line. Kozich’s effort helped the Lady Comets repeat as team champions with 49 points, edging the Lady Mountaineers (52). The two squads had 11 of the top 22 finishers, and both teams will advance to Hershey for Saturday’s state meet. Kozich made her move into third place in the final mile, then overtook Dallas’

Sarah Williams for second on the final hill leading to the finish line. “I just tried to give it everything I had left,” Kozich said. “On the hill I really didn’t think I was going to do it. But I pushed with every last bit.” She said it was a total team effort in securing the district title. “Everyone gave it their all and did really good. We all just worked together and pushed through. We knew Dallas was going to be hard.” Ellie Kozich finished seventh for Crestwood, while Mollie Kozich and Kaelyn Barker were 12th

and 13th, respectively. Adrienne Shebelock placed 15th, Ella Novelli 18th and Maggie Kozich 19th to help the Lady Comets bring home the championship. For Dallas, Williams placed third, Julianna Sobocinski was ninth, Olivia Thomas 21st and Erika Doran 22nd. “Dallas has run us tough every race this year,” Crestwood head coach Robert Moulton said. “They’re a great team. They fought for it today, we fought for it today and we were fortunate to come out on top.” On the boys side, Crestwood finished second in the Class 2A

standings with 102 points to earn a state berth. Scranton Prep won the title with 73 points, and Riverside’s Daniel Danilovitz and Dallas’ Bryce Phillips finished 1-2 in the individual race. Crestwood was led by Nate Higgins’ 11th-place finish in a personal-best 17:24.8. “Before the start of the race, coach Rob told me not to go out so hard because I did that almost every race this season,” Higgins said. “I went out a little easier and just tried to keep my position and take out as many people in the second mile as I could.”

Last Sunday, both of NY’s NFL teams lost by Leslie Monteiro

It’s no secret that New York sports fans have weathered a lot of bad teams across sports and over the

years. But the worst of the worst is when teams in the same sport (what’s the word I’m looking for) “stink.” It’s even worse when those teams play against each

other in a game that should be best remembered for fans forgetting what they had just witnessed. As a New York-area resident, that’s the way I feel about last Sunday’s Jets-Giants game played at the Meadowlands. The Jets “won,” according to the scoreboard, 13-10 in overtime, but the only reason is that the Giants were more inept. With less than 30 seconds left in regulation, Giants kicker Graham Gano missed from 35 yards (yes, that’s with the line-of-scrimmage at the 18-yard-line) with his team ahead 10-7. His miss gave the Jets an opportunity to tie the game, which they did on Greg Zuerlein’s field goal conversion with 1-second

left on the clock. In OT, the Giants went three-and-out, and then the Jets’ offense moved 46 yards in six plays aided by a Giants’ pass interference penalty. Zuerlein stepped up again, kicking the game-winning field goal. Well, that’s how the game ended. But the bigger story is how bad these teams are. The Giants offense is offensive, so offensive that the team’s -9 yards passing on Sunday set an all-time NFL record for the fewest passing yards in a game. Fans must wonder if this 2-6 team can sink even lower. What about the Jets? Well, they are 4-3 and remain afloat in the AFC Wild Card race, but that tells you how bad the AFC is this year. Even more telling

is that the Jets haven’t been to the NFL playoffs in over a decade. The bottom line is that I don’t know who stunk more on Sunday, but it might have been the team that won. One thing I know for sure is that there are no bragging rights, and the 15th meeting between these teams needs to be quickly forgotten. Perhaps the best news is that these teams face each other in the regular season only once every four years. Local fans have suffered enough, and they need a break. ______________ Leslie Monteiro, a longlanguishing New York-area sports fan, has authored sports articles for a variety of sites, including The Sports Column.

College Comets see three-game win streak end at North Pocono Notebook Crestwood Football

Crestwood will host Nanticoke in playoff opener The bad news is the Crestwood High School football team lost its regularseason finale at North Pocono last Friday night. The good news? The Comets’ body of work throughout the 2023 season was more than enough to get them a home game for the upcoming District 2 Class 4A Tournament. North Pocono rode the play of senior Noah West to a 27-10 non-conference win on the Trojans’ senior night in Moscow. West had a pair of interceptions on defense, scored on a quarterback sneak, and threw for a touchdown to spearhead the upset victory. Crestwood (5-5), which entered the game on a threegame win streak, trailed 7-0 early when West hooked up with freshman brother Cole West for a 58-yard scoring strike.

The Comets came right back, as James Barrett nailed a 32-yard field goal, and Eli Meadows followed with a short touchdown run that put the Comets up 10-7. Meadows’ score was set up by a 48-yard run from Colin Lazo. North Pocono tied things on Brady Mapes’ 23-yard field goal in the second quarter, then went ahead on West’s interception and his own QB sneak, making it 17-10 at the half. The Trojans took control from there, as Riley Moore returned the second-half kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown. Meanwhile, North Pocono’s defense held Crestwood to just two first downs in the second half and got a huge stop on fourthand-two in Trojan territory late in the third quarter. Mapes’ 32-yard field goal with just over eight minutes

to play set the final score. “We knew we were an evenly matched football team,” Crestwood head coach Ryan Arcangeli said afterward. “It was going to be who’s gonna make the explosive play and who’s gonna get the turnover. Tip our hat to North Pocono and their coaching staff. They made three explosive plays.” Despite the setback, Arcangeli said the Comets are coming back home for the playoffs, where they will defend the district championship they won a year ago. After overcoming a series of injuries to key players this season, Crestwood earned the fourth seed and will host #5 Nanticoke (6-4) on Friday night in the quarterfinal round. “We have to be fired up to play a home playoff game, because we earned that,” Arcangeli said. North Pocono, which had lost five of its last six games coming in, improved to 4-6 and secured the #6 seed for the District 2 4A playoffs. The Trojans travel to #3 Wyoming Area (9-1) in their Friday quarterfinal. The other two Class 4A quarterfinals feature #8 Wallenpaupack (2-8) at top seed Dallas (10-0), and #7 Berwick (3-7) at #2 Valley View (8-2). Should Crestwood beat Nanticoke, it would get the Wallenpaupack-Dallas winner in the semifinal round.

Kile, Kutztown U. in PSAC tourney Third-seeded Kutztown University was set to open up the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Tournament against No. 6 IUP this week in the quarterfinals of the field hockey championships. The Golden Bears earned the three seed by finishing the regular season with a 15-2 overall record and 7-2 mark in the conference. KU recorded victories over four ranked teams this season, including No. 9 Bloomsburg (Oct. 4), No. 7 Mansfield (Oct. 14), No. 7 West Chester (Oct. 17) and No. 9 Millersville (Oct. 25). The lone losses came at the hands of No. 1 East Stroudsburg (Sept. 26) and No. 2 Shippensburg (Oct. 10), who are the one-two seeds, respectively, in the PSAC Tournament. Part of Kutztown’s strong run this fall can be traced to graduate student Mackenzie Kile. A former all-state player at Crestwood High School, Kile played four successful seasons at NCAA Division I Bucknell University, where she was a three-year starter and fouryear contributor with 31 career assists for the Bison. Earning a fifth year due to the pandemic season, Kile moved on to Kutztown

for that fifth season, and has excelled. The forwardmidfielder has started all 17 games for the Golden Bears this fall, scoring five goals - including one gamewinner - and also recording an assist. Kutztown is looking for its first postseason win since 2019 when it reached the PSAC final and the NCAA Division II national semifinal. 0-0-0 Noah Schultz, who helped lead the Crestwood High School football team to the state semifinals last fall, is making his presence felt for the Wilkes University football team as a freshman. The six-foot tall, 190-pound defensive back has played in all eight games for the Colonels (3-5 overall, 3-1 Landmark Conference). He has recorded eight tackles and has a fumble recovery. Schultz is joined on the Wilkes team by two other Crestwood graduates in freshman linebacker Cole Kakalecik and frosh defensive back Robert Knight. The Colonels play host to conference foe Catholic University on Saturday in their annual senior day game.

Trunk or Treat around Penn Lake is scary fun by Suzanne Winters

The October sun was shining on the remaining fall leaves from a beautiful blue sky contrasted by a bank of blue-gray clouds, which cast a warm and eerie orange glow over the day Saturday, while dozens of Halloweeners roamed the Penn Lake roads looking for treats.

several family dogs wearing their Halloween best too.
