Penn Forest Veterans Monument arrives

by Seth Isenberg

The Penn Forest Township veterans’ monument has arrived and is now in place at the Penn Forest Recreation

Park. The black granite monument, which stands over 36″ tall on its black granite base, features a flag and eagle sketch, and Former supervisor

Judy Knappenberger first proposed the monument in 2021 to the supervisors. She became the committee chair at the end of the year and the project was funded by township supervisors. Next, volunteer Lisa Stefanick made sketches in February of 2022 of a flag, an eagle, and the two together. The flag and eagle were chosen, and a deposit was sent to get the black granite ordered. Knappenberger then wrote the words to be etched onto the monument, and these were vetted after posting online, then approved.

There was a delay in getting the stone, due to COVID, but it finally arrived at Walters’ Monument to be etched, and then was installed at the Penn Forest Park on January 20 on a concrete footer prepared by the township roads and maintenance crew.

The stone stands centered between the two flagpoles at the park. In the future, the monument may be flanked by other markers, and urns to place flowers in.

Dedication of the monument will be in the spring.

Quiet January meeting for Kidder supervisors

by Seth Isenberg

Kidder Township’s board of supervisors made quick work of their agenda on January 24. Supervisors voted to accept bids on 54 tax claim properties, most in either Holiday Pocono or Golden Oaks.

Electronic recycling dates were set for April 22 and October 7. Rules and fees will be publicized.

Township solicitor Robert Yurchak reported that the ordinance violator for their Laurel Lane property is slated to appear before Dis -

trict Judge Joseph Homanko on February 10.

Supervisors approved a fireworks permit for Big Boulder Ski Area (Jan. 28), approved placing ads seeking a new engineering firm, and to seek tree trimmers for work this year. Last year no company replied to the tree trimming ad, even after three sets of ads placed.

The checks are proceeds from the on-line auction of the old chair lifts at the resort, when the lifts were replaced this past summer. Chairs sold from $250 to $425 each, and are now dispersed throughout the area. The same amount went to the Epic Promise Foundation, which supports Vail Resorts employees and their dependents in times of need through emergency financial assistance, as well as for educational grants.

Penn Forest Twp’s January meeting features exploration of police

by Seth Isenberg

Discussion of the possibility of adding police protection for Penn Forest Township has started with outreach to Kidder Township and Jim Thorpe Borough by supervisors’ chairman Roger Meckes, with meetings expected in the near future. The township currently has no police, relying on coverage from State Police from Lehighton and Fern Ridge (Blakeslee). Supervisors’ vice chairman Christian Bartulovich will be contacting Franklin Township. Resident Dennis Habig offered some statistics opposing the idea of township police, saying that the crime rate is going down. The topic will remain on the agenda as more information comes in.

The township will accept credit card payments once two credit card terminals arrive from Municipay (cost maximum of $700 for the pair). The agreement with Municipay is at no cost to the township, but users will pay 2.65% with a $3 minimum charge.

After a couple of months of work, two quotes finally meet the specs for garage doors for the maintenance building at the transfer station. John Door garage door company of Slatington had the lowest price and was awarded the contract to install three insulated 14′ tall doors, with windows, plus a door opener installed on a fourth door.

Park Recreation board member Jyl Venditti thanked the supervisors for the “excellent” Christmas tree (metal sculpture). A star is planned to be added for next year.

The new salt shed is done at the transfer station, and salt and anti-skid is now in it ready to use, as shown at right. Roadmaster Meckes noted that there wasn’t a lot of activity for the roads crew from winter due to the warm weather and rain.

Code enforcement officer Gregory Loftus conducted 22 inspections of Short-Term Rentals (STRs), responded to 3 complaints, and issued 3 violations for three STRs with no permits (2 of these are getting their paperwork together and from the third there was no reply, so an action into court may be next). Supervisors also raised Loftus’ pay to $22.66 per hour.

Zoning officer Phillip Prout reported 23 zoning permits issued including 5 for ShortTerm Rentals, along with 10 building permits one for a new home.

For the planning commission, William Miller was reappointed to a threeyear term and supervisor James Denier added to the board for a one-year term.

Seth’s Sightings

Our early January plans were kaput because Ruth and I caught colds. That laid us up had us keeping close to home. We missed the Farm Show, we missed hockey games. I missed a meeting with my surgeon.

Our ailing had us a bit low. To pass the time, I listened to music and watched YouTube videos. Ruth and I read some mysteries mainly British writers like Elly Griffiths and Hilary Mantell, and American Martha Grimes who often writes British mysteries. Among the various YouTube discoveries was a scifi series Andromeda from the early 2000s, and musically, a fantastic Swiss yodeler Melanie Oesch, and her family; plus episodes of All Murders in the Building, Blue Bloods and the new Night Court.

Feeling ourselves again, we made our way into Philadelphia to see a friend mid-month. We drove down the PA Turnpike at 70 mph plus and were passed by many fellow travelers. Taking it up a notch, we were still passed as drivers hit 100 mph on some of the open straightaways. I tried to keep out of their way.

It was an Eagles weekend, and the Schuylkill Expressway was a slow drive filled with Eagles fans. They were rewarded by the Eagles winning that night’s game versus the Giants easily. We sighted lots of buildings sporting Eagles green. One of the bank towers had a message rotating on the top of one of the bank buildings Go Eagles!, then E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES! The boathouses on Boathouse Row had their

LED lighting programmed to Eagles green.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ win over the San Francisco 49ers the next week means a trip to the Super Bowl for them, and a trip to a sporting goods store for us. Most of the sports gear we own is Penguins-related. Neither of us own anything Eagles (I do own a Patriots scarf). I’m game to add Eagles wear, as I’ve been a fan since settling in here, and Ruth has a lot to do with making me that fan which means we need hats and scarfs, and we’ll see what else can be had.

A football p.s. is a congratulations to Penn State football for their impressive win in the Rose Bowl. On another Penn State note, their men’s AND women’s ice hockey teams are ranked nationally…We Are Penn State (at least some of us).

The warmer and less snowy conditions of this winter have encouraged the local geese to stay put.

by Seth Isenberg

later, we drove up to the Big Boulder ski area to see the night skiers and families enjoying the tubing slopes there.

It’s kind of too bad for folks who view these birds as winged rats, but there’s still something wonderful about watching and hearing a vee of geese fly away. We made a stop at the Penn Forest Township Park on Sunday afternoon, and while we were walking the dogs, a small vee of geese launched itself overhead, toward nearby

I continue to follow the UConn Lady Huskies and am excited about their big game versus the #1 team in the country, South Carolina’s Lady Gamecocks. UConn is short-handed right now, but hopefully will have at least one more team member back for the big game. UConn is ranked number 5 ahead of this matchup. After South Carolina, UConn has tough opponents including a #9 ranked Villanova team as the Big East gets ready for their tournament.

Continued from page 4

Our local AHL team enters a challenging stretch where they have to play at a higher level to be seen as a playoff contender. Their recent game versus Bridgeport turned out more fans, and the WBS Penguins turned out a nice win. Here’s hoping that will continue this week and next versus division rivals.

The Bridgeport game featured a series of fundraiser to support local efforts to fight cancer. After the game, Ruth and I participated in a “paint the ice” fundraiser, donating to be able to walk onto the playing surface and paint messages of hope, and remember those in our lives who have passed

away from cancer. We painted three spots and were near to support some other friends as they painted. Each of us also managed to paint our own hands.

Me? I’m getting near my surgery date. My battle with my little rare cancer goes high-tech at UPenn’s HUP, and I’ll be in recovery by the next Journal of Penn-Kidder if all goes to schedule.

On another happy note, we return to Daylight Savings on March 12…restoring our evenings as I recover and get out and about again.

To all, warm wishes during these cold weeks, happy Valentines and Presidents Days, and keep healthy.

Imaginations awakened by stuffed animal slumber party

by Lori R. Cooper

It was a slumber party like no other at the Penn Kidder Library. Children brought their favorite stuffed animal to leave at the library for an overnight stay. Throughout the night pictures of the stuffed animals were taken as they played and got into some shenanigans. Families could check social media to see what their favorite friends were doing all night. They had fun drinking Capri Sun and snacking on devil dogs and pop tarts. The critters even helped with a library community art project.

Kara Edmonds, Library Director, noted a former staff member came up with the idea. They had a sleepover at Dimmick Library recently after a 7 year old patron requested the sleepover again, which had not been done since the pandemic. Edmonds notes, “Kids love the idea of animals coming to life. They get to flex their imagination and write their own stories.” Books such as Paddington Bear and The Velveteen Rabbit use this idea, as well as the beloved movie Toy Story.

lifetime connection.”

After a nap, the stuffed animals got into a bit of mischief using the copier to make prints of their body

parts. When they were returned to their owners all of the animals enjoyed telling the stories of the fun they had throughout the night at

the library.

Penn Kidder library has a few other exciting things happening. They will be offering 4 hotspots that will be available for check out. This will allow those without internet access to “borrow” Wi-Fi for up to a week, with renewal available for an additional week. Library patrons can go into the library to sign out the hot spot.

Also new at the library, museum passes will be available to check out. Free passes to the America On Wheels Museum, Bucks County Children’s Museum (New Hope), the Lehigh

Valley Heritage Museum and Pearl S. Buck House (Perkasie), and Reading Museum will be available. There is a maximum of 4 passes per patron.

Edmonds wants children to “think of the library as a fun place to be and build a

Heffley takes oath of office, named GOP head of Human Services committee

Rep. Doyle Heffley (R-Carbon) took the oath of office Tuesday to begin his latest term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

“The coming legislative session is sure to present challenges and opportunities, as we navigate through divided control between Democrats and Republicans in the House. My priority is to always do my best to represent the shared values of the residents of Carbon County, and I humbly thank the voters for their support and confidence in me,” Heffley said.

Heffley has been appointed by House Majority Leader Bryan Cutler to serve as Republican chairman of the

Human Services Committee.

“It’s an honor to be named the Republican Chairman of the Human Service Committee,” said Heffley, who has served as a member of the House Human Services Committee throughout his tenure as a state legislator. “As a long-standing member of this committee, I know firsthand the good work we can do, from overseeing the opioid task force addressing the overprescribing of medications, and ensuring our vulnerable populations have access to needed services and treatments. I will be vigilant in making sure and our tax dollars will be spent wisely and eliminating the fraud that can occur.”

The House Human Services Committee has oversight of issues within the Department of Human Services and the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. Among the issues it has dealt with include legislation to address the heroin and opioid overdose crisis by trying to prevent these powerful drugs from getting into the

wrong hands. The committee will continue to convene hearings regarding the delivery of human services throughout the Commonwealth and the challenges faced by individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities, along with those needing mental health services and drug and alcohol treatment.

Carbon Recorder seeks re-election

Recorder of Deeds Donna Gentile is seeking a second term. Gentile, a Republican and lifelong Carbon County

resident, took office as Recorder of Deeds in 2020.

Gentile since day one has had a hands-on approach to the position, working side by side with her staff, recording, indexing, verifying and scanning along with her financial and administrative duties.

Over the past several years, Gentile has implemented some much-needed technology upgrades to the Recorder of Deeds office. Some of the upgrades include the introduction of E-Recording. She is also in the process of digitizing old deed books and microfiche files, and converting the permanent archive files to the new state approved PDF/A format.

More recently Gentile implemented a new Veteran’s Program. She and her staff have been serving the Veterans by attending local Senior Expos and Veterans Fairs, recording Veterans DD214s(military discharge papers).

Gentile humbly asks for your vote and looks forward to the completion of these and future projects as she continues to serve the constituents of Carbon County.

Obituaries

THERESA M. CHRISTIAN

Therese M. Christian, 68, of Albrightsville, passed away on Friday, January 13, 2023 at home.

She was the beloved partner of Stephen Clegg.

Born in Philadelphia, she was the loving daughter of the late Andrew Condron and the late Mary (Trottman) Condron.

In addition to her partner Stephen, she is survived by her children, Gerid Christian (Christa), Thomas Christian, Katrina Daggett (Christopher), Michael Christian (Erin), Andrew Clegg (Jennifer); three grandchildren, Cooper Daggett, Lucy Daggett, Sawyer Clegg; her siblings, John Condron (Donna), Mary Rollo (Joseph),

Christine Braun (Mark), Fred Condron (Dana), Cecilia Fox-O’Rourke (Dennis); as well as numerous extended family. Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her dear son, Joseph, and her siblings, Andrew Condron, Mark Condron, Marion DiGregorio, and Joseph Condron (Mary). No services are scheduled at this time. Cremation will take place in H.G. Smith Crematory, Stroudsburg. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org

The Kresge Funeral Home, 1763 Route 209, Brodheadsville, is in charge of the arrangements. www.kresgefuneralhome. com

and 2-3:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9.

The event is designed for anyone interested in becoming a local elected official or learning more about the responsibilities of local officials, such as township supervisors, borough council members and school directors.

The session will feature:

— An overview of elected and appointed offices in Pennsylvania local government.

— The nuts and bolts of running for office, such as filing a petition, reporting campaign expenses and other requirements.

— Discussion from local officials about their experiences running for and serving in local office.

The webinar will not offer campaign tips or strategies, organizers noted. Rather, the session is aimed at helping attendees understand the roles, responsibilities and personal rewards that come with public service.

“The people who run our

local governments are our friends and neighbors — people just like us,” said Peter Wulfhorst, economic and community development extension educator.

“While having experience in community leadership helps, you don’t need special training or specific experience to serve your township, borough or school district,” he added. “If you’re interested in serving, care about your community and are willing to learn on the job, we offer you this opportunity to learn more before you toss your hat in the ring.”

The registration fee for the webinar is $25. Registration deadlines vary by session.

Details and registration information is available on the Penn State Extension website at https://extension.psu. edu/toss-your-hat-in-thering or by contacting Wulfhorst at 570-296-3400 or by email at ptw3@psu.edu.

Zeigler seeks election as Carbon County sheriff

Carbon County Sheriff Daniel G. Zeigler, a former resident of Lake Harmony who is currently fulfilling the unexpired term of retired Sheriff Anthony Harvilla, has announced he will seek election to a full four-year term of office in 2023. He will seek the Republican nomination in the May 16 Primary Election.

Zeigler, who was sworn-in on Jan. 10 by Judge Joseph J. Matika, said, “It has been my pleasure to serve the residents of Carbon County for the last 11 months. I hope to build on the positive momentum and many accomplishments we have achieved. I will continue to focus on improving safety, efficiency and effectiveness in the Sheriff’s Office and will do everything possible to increase safety in our communities to create a better future for our children.” Zeigler currently

chairs the county Security Committee and sits as a member of the Prison Board, as well as multiple other committees.

A Franklin Township resident, formerly of Lansford, Zeigler is a 1993 graduate of Panther Valley High School who attained a bachelor’s degree in the Administration of Justice from Penn State University and a master’s degree in Public Administration from Devry University.

He began his employ with the county in 2020 when Harvilla appointed him to the

captain’s position, and was promoted a few months later as the sheriff’s chief deputy. Prior to that, he worked for the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office for six years and was the Deputy Commissioner of Social Services in Yates County, NY as well as the Director of Residential and Community-Based services for Glove House, Inc. located in Elmira, NY.

“I feel I am uniquely qualified for this position,” Zeigler said. “In addition, the experience I gained as the sheriff, I have 24 years of

experience in the Criminal Justice Field which, I believe, has prepared me to continue to serve the residents of Carbon County with integrity and honor.”

Zeigler is the son of the late Atty. Daniel F. Zeigler, a former longtime member of the Carbon County Bar Association, former Solicitor and Domestic Relations Master.

More information on Zeigler’s candidacy can be obtained at his Facebook page, Daniel G. Zeigler for Carbon County Sheriff.
