Warehouse sites being cleared in Kidder Twp by Seth Isenberg

Tree clearing has started ahead of the construction of the Exeter Property Group’s first warehouse along Route 940 in Kidder Township. Further east on Route 940, the Henry property site is also being cleared of trees. The Exeter Group’s property is about a mile east of the Pocono Interchange of the Pennsylvania Turnpike where it meets Interstate 80. The building planned for the site is over 921,000 square feet, and will be built

activity that was fairly steady for this time of the year. Meckes also reported that line painting that didn’t get done this year, will be done in the spring once the weather conditions change. In other business, it was agreed to continue to provide employees with a membership to the Lehighton Ambulance. “It’s like insurance,” said Meckes. Hanover Engineering was directed to look at the septic system in the township park, as the pipe from the bathroom isn’t pitched enough and so, clogs up. A grinder pump might be the solution. Supervisors would also like to erect a new sign for the park. Supervisors changed the details of an order for a new dump truck to arrive soon. The order, from Ray Price Ford, was for a ’21 F550, and the change is to upgrade to an F650 which will haul 2 tons more, but still be small enough to not require a CDL license. The township would get this

bigger truck for $3,660 more (F550 was $87,374). The sales crew at Ray Price had ordered both an F550 and an F650, so the township switched, and the other truck will soon have a buyer. WB Electric was contracted to repair the outside lighting around the township building for $1,325, upgrading all lights to LEDs and adding a timer. For the Transfer Station, an agreement with neighbor H&K will acquire nearly an acre from them to give space to upgrade the transfer station. A survey has been done. The next regular Penn Forest supervisors meeting is March 1, at 7 p.m., available via Zoom.

Township Planning meeting February’s Penn Forest Township planning commission meeting on Feb. 22 discussed Indian Mountain Lake’s proposed park and bus stop improvements for their west gate area, and also the application to build a third Dollar General in the township on Route 534 at Old Stage Road. The IML improvements were gone over, with a few questions asked about impervious surfaces and drainage,

and about a planned porta-potty and if one would be enough. The Dollar General proposal was discussed, and opponents were referred to the zoning hearing board meeting scheduled for March 4 at 7. A petition is being circulated that opposes the project, and as of this meeting, it had 600 names on it. In discussing the Dollar General proposal, township engineer Sal Caiazzo of Hanover Engineering explained their proposal needs waivers. As of this article, one of these is about the parking configuration, and another is that the site doesn’t meet the minimum 200 feet wide that’s required in a C-1 district.

APU’s DarLoyola (Missouri Valley), ryl Bedford stepped up large that day, and an understated forward sealed the deal. Tony Raye, a 56% free thrower who had averaged but 5.2 points a game during the season, sank two free throws with a couple of seconds left.

something the Bulldogs do not — tournament experience, which is critical. Having been there before gives mid-majors a leg-up — knowing how to prepare and handle the pressure. I like Colgate, too. But the issue with the Red Raiders is whether they can step up during tournament time and pull off ‘The Big One.’ So my gut pushes me more toward four other tournament-tests teams — Wright State, the Belmont Bruins, Stephen F. Austin, and Winthrop. And there’s another team I think you should watch — a team from out West that few people know about — Grand Canyon University. CGU is a relative newcomer to D-1 and a recent addition to the Western Athletic Conference. Brought to prominence by former NBA star Dan Majerle, the Antelopes need to be taken seriously. There’s a proviso, though. Grand Canyon plays in

a weak league with wanna-be schools (California Baptist, Dixie State, for example), and perennial power New Mexico State is only 5-5 this year. That means CGU hasn’t been tested…at least not yet. While I’m out West, let me also make a pitch for UCSB and the Big West. Only latenight East Coast/Midwest TV viewers get to see the Big West, but those who watch know there’s more to that part of the country than the PAC12 (yawn) and the WCC with monster Gonzaga and contender St. Mary’s. I’ll be back with my post-conference tournament edition of teams to watch. The timing makes sense because the only way mid-majors get into The Big Dance is by winning their conference tournaments. Upsets abound there, too. Right, Austin Peay? Frank Fear is managing editor of The Sports Column.

Seth’s Sightings Snow, snow go away. There was another little storm this week, and it was forecast to dust our area with 1 to 3 inches. Instead left up to 8 inches in places. After spending too many hours clearing ice and snow from the previous snows from The Journal office and around our house, this was a bit disheartening. I am placing hopes in warm weather predicted for the end of this month and early March to melt away the snowbanks. We sighted great big icicles on a home with icicle lights — which we found funny. Some buildings have icicles nearly two stories high in shady corners. And, it was great to see a family sledding at the quarry in Penn Forest Township. We also have sighted tracks from

sledding beside two fairways along holes at the Split Rock Country Club. As we drove through Albrightsville, we sighted a sign that read: “Hiring” (on the first line), then “Cheddar Kielbasa” on the line under it. We wonder what the job description is. On the same trip, we sighted a paradox of a pair of ducks. As we drove over a small stream, I spotted what looked to be a large bird in the water, but as we gained a better angle, I realized we were not looking at one critter, but two — mallards. Further along, we sighted a family who had put out a picnic in the Penn Forest Park pavilion (featuring warm food). The kids were out on one of the fields, making snow

angels and snowmen. We have been getting outside more, now that we have dogs again. Last Saturday, we drove to the West End dog park during a snow squall that made everything pretty, while making us drive slow enough to appreciate it. At the dog park, we were alone until a couple came out of a nearby trail on snowshoes. Afterwards, we drove into Allentown to get a fine Greek dinner. Our trip was via Little Gap, getting there by driving along township roads narrowed by snow drifts from the afternoon snow. On our way, we passed by a farm with horses, and saw them chasing each other in the snow, which was truly beautiful. Further along, we also sighted a cow running for hay freshly put out in the field, late for dinner perhaps? At Little Gap, we detoured over the covered bridge there, then went past Blue Mountain Ski Area to go up and over the mountain. Arriving in Allentown, we cut through local residential streets and saw how their nearly 30″ of snow had narrowed them — great big snow piles where folks shoveled out their

cars, along with chairs and various other space holder items, on the theory of “I dug it, it’s my spot.” The Greek meal at Nosto’s was superb — moussaka for me, a lamb stew for Ruth, with a shared galaktoboureko slice for dessert. It looks like the snows have turned out skiers to Big Boulder and Jack Frost, Camelback and Blue Mountains. This past weekend, conditions looks superb. It’s great to have all the skiers around, and we’re also seeing a lot of snowmobile tracks in many places. It’s been many years since there’s been this much snow for this long. Most folks had exchanged their snowmobiles for ATVs. (On that note, those ATV owners who bought the snow plow extra package are feeling smug right now.) The WBS Penguins have been playing their games in empty arenas. The team is coming together, and starting to play well. On AHL-TV, we saw scattered fans in the stands at the Hershey Bears home in the Giant Center. Our time for seeing hockey in the Mohegan Sun arena seats is coming soon.

We’ve booked a meal at a farm-to-table restaurant this weekend. The place is tiny, located in a tiny hamlet west of Slatington. Here’s to a good meal and an adventure. The meal is promoted as part of the Northern Lehigh Chamber of Commerce’s restaurant week promotion, ending Feb. 27. Sunset is now about 6 p.m. with daylight faded by 7. Starting March 14, we’ll get an extra hour back to enjoy more evening drives and dog walks. My book for this week and next is by Louis L’Amour — a western adventure. I’ll be back to mysteries afterwards. For TV fun, I have discovered a 1960 comedy, Angel, about Angelique, the newly married French wife of an all-American guy, and her navigating her new life in America. It’s cute, she’s cute, and so far, quite funny. In looking at vintage TV, I found some Jack Benny shows, and can recommend the episode where Jack imitates Gracie Allen — all-around excellent. Stay safe, stay warm, and if you are vulnerable to COVID, find a place and get your shot. I’m hoping for a return to normal this summer.

Kidder Twp locks in trash hauler, approves Mountain Laurel Resort expansion by Seth Isenberg Kidder Township supervisors, at their February 18 meeting, locked in a price for their regular curbside trash pickup for the next five years. Hauler County Waste will continue to do the job under a contract that renews on April 1, and continues to the end of March in 2026, for a total of $1,715,364. It was pointed out that this was the lowest bid, by a few hundred thousand dollars. Supervisor Ray Gluck remarked that “we need to monitor their performance,” in reference to recent missed deliveries and truck shortages. After discussion, supervisors voted 4 in favor and one, chairman Tom Bradley, opposed. The Mountain Laurel Resort & Spa was given conditional approvals to proceed with their plan to add cottages to the property. This would be the first phase of an expansion for the resort. The sewage planning module for Hickory Run State Park’s new and replacement bathhouses was also approved. That project is expected to begin once winter weather clears. Long-serving Zoning Hearing Board member Dr. Richard Hubert, who has been chairman of that board, has submitted his letter of resignation. Hubert has served on the ZHB since 1988. Supervisors accepted his letter with regret, unanimously. The ZHB’s alternate will step up to fill the vacancy, and the ZHB will select a new chairman at their next meeting. This leaves a vacancy for the alternate to the board. Anyone

interested in being the alternate should send a letter or e-mail to the township. A request by the township fire companies to change the procedures to have just one company respond to automatic alarms was voted down. (The automatic alarms have nearly always been false alarms.) In reports, roadmaster Bruce Berger reported that the roads crew “did really good through this month.” Even when this recent winter weather hit the township, hard, Berger “received no complaints.” Chairman Bradley added that “some of the developments

have struggled” with all the snow. In her manager’s report, Suzanne Brooks announced that there will again be two electronics recycling days in 2021, on May 22 and October 9. Each will start at 8 a.m., and continue until the truck is full. She reported that the supervisors, at a special meeting, waived the mechanical device tax for 2021. Brooks asks that residents “be patient with us about County Waste,” as the weather, road conditions (especially on the private roads), and COVID has affected the contractor.

Celebrating Our 32nd Year!

Kidder Police report 141 calls for the month, including 9 vehicle accidents, 8 fights and disturbances, 7 disturbing the peace, 5 fireworks complaints, 2 thefts, a fraud, a burglary, and a drugs incident. Lake Harmony Volunteer Fire Co. was out 37 times, and Albrightsville VFD was out 41 times (22 times with LHVFC). Eighteen of the calls for LHVFC were smoke detector activations. In audience participation, an

entrepreneur with a food trailer introduced himself, telling the board that he plans to open on the Harmony Beverage property. In other business, bills of $126,958 were approved. Of note is a $21,611 payment towards the 2018 dump truck, $53,840 in insurances, taxes and utilities, and $26,920 to County Waste for the month. The next regular board of supervisors meeting will be March 18.

Kidder Hike & Bike Trail one of two new funds at Carbon County Community Foundation The Kidder Hike and Bike Trail Fund was established to support the development and maintenance of the recreational trail which connects Big Boulder Lake Drive and Lake Harmony Road in Kidder Township, providing a safe and convenient way for hikers and bikers to reach the area’s restaurants, lodging, and other attractions. The completed part of the trail is 1/3 mile long, 12 feet wide, and handicap accessible with a flat, crushed stone surface. There are plans to continue the trail through the mountains’ beautiful, wooded areas to provide easy access to public areas. The Kidder Hike & Bike Trail group is comprised of volunteers who raise funds, recruit other volunteers, and help the township build the trail system. Their work is funded primarily through fundraising, grants, donations, and events, including an annual “Float Your Boat” event. The Kidder Hike and Bike Trail Fund will support the work of this group in the continued development and maintenance of the trail. “We at Kidder Hike and Bike Trail group are very happy to be a nonprofit fund under the Carbon County Community Foundation,” said Barbara Franzosa, member of the Kidder Hike and Bike Trail Group. “The Foundation affords us the opportunity to pursue grants for future Kidder Township parks and trails and allows us to grow our fund for the long-term care of our trails and parks.” Two new funds have been

established at the Carbon County Community Foundation, both to support the important work of organizations providing services in the county. The Carbon County Catholic Worker Fund was established with an initial gift and support from the Catholic Worker Movement and the Carbon County Catholic Worker community founder, Ericka Williams-Rodriguez. The organization provides charitable services for those in need across the county, including food pantry services, educational services, spiritual counseling, and

culture events. It recently purchased the Our Lady of Angels Academy and the neighboring St. Katharine Drexel Catholic Church in Lansford and has plans to convert it into a Dorothy Day House of Hospitality and a new Community Center. The Carbon County Catholic Worker Fund will support the programs and operating costs of that venture. “We intend to use these buildings to serve the poor with a food pantry, free store, educational center, and as a home for a Catholic Worker family. We hope to help fight blight in Lansford

with a community center where Our Lady of Angels Academy once was,” said Williams-Rodriguez. “We are hoping to donate St. Katharine’s, formerly known as St. Michael the Archangel Church, to an organization that needs space and will preserve the memory of the miners that funded the building of this historically significant site.” “We’re thrilled to welcome Carbon County Catholic Worker and the Kidder Hike and Bike Trail Funds into the pool of community impact funds at Carbon County

Community Foundation,” said Sharon Alexander, President of CCCF. “Both organizations provide important services to the region, and these funds will allow like-minded individuals to donate and support Carbon County’s current and future needs in these areas.” Further details about the two new funds, including how interested community members can volunteer or donate to support either organization’s mission, can be found online at www. cccfoundpa.org/existing-funds/

Police Beat At 6:40 p.m. on 2-19, Pocono Mountain Regional Police were dispatched to a home in Pocono Farms East, Coolbaugh Twp., due to a man armed with a handgun, threatening to commit suicide. His wife and two children had fled the home. He had shown the wife the gun, telling her of his intent to harm himself. Police arrived and while they were there, he fired off two shots into a snow pile out back of the house. In the end, police were able to get the 36 y/o to surrender to them. He was taken for mental health care. He faces charges of terroristic threats and assault by menace, reckless endangering and harassment. A preliminary hearing is set for him before District Judge Danielle Travagline on March 3. At 7:18 p.m. on 2-28, 36 y/o Botasha Torres of Tobyhanna was walking on Route 940 east

PMRPD is investigating. PA State Police–Fern Ridge coordinated the search for a 16 y/o Effort-area girl, who went missing the morning of 2-17. She was located and determined safe on 2-19. 2-12, PSP-F arrested a Brodheadsville man after the death of his girlfriend, possibly from a drug overdose. Police obtained a search warrant and found evidence of drug dealing, along with a gun and ammo. The man, who is a felon, is not permitted to have a gun. Three children 15, 9 and 9, were taken into safe care. An investigation continues. Just after noon on 2-11, PSP was called by Indian Mountain Lakes security about a man and a woman who were continuing an argument in the street of that community. They refused to obey security commands to stop, and when police arrived, they kept at it. Both were arrested. A video arraignment took place before

the on-duty Magisterial Judge, and bail was set — with both being taken to the Carbon County jail. They both would stay in jail until bail was posted, or until their preliminary hearing on 2-24.

Keeping the rubber side down and other reports

With the recent snowy weather, there are a bunch of crashes in the reports. Here’s one: a 22 y/o Lockport, NY, driver tried to pass a tractortrailer in his ’05 Acura on snowy Interstate 80 just before 9 p.m. but instead lost control, bouncing off the guide rail on 2-19 then into the left wheel of the truck. The kid got a ticket for driving at an unsafe speed for conditions. A Jackson Twp. man ordered a rowing machine on e-bay, providing a credit card to charge $695. The machine never arrived, 2-20. A Jackson Twp. couple, 80 and 82, were victims of a scam on 2-18 when they were called that morning about their grandson being in jail, and needed to post bail. A man claiming to be a bail bonds courier met them later that day, and they gave him $8,500

cash for bail. After he left, they eventually found the grandson, and learned they’d been scammed — and then they called police. PSP had a wide variety of DUI stops over these past few weeks.

Liquor Control Board The Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Board sent Enforcement Officers to 1,064 licensed liquor establishments 2-8 to 11 to ensure businesses are abiding by COVID-19 mitigation requirements. From their visits, they issued 13 notices of violation statewide (3 in northeast PA) and 32 warnings (1 in NEPA).

PennDOT notes PennDOT will continue winter roads maintenance —

plowing and salting where needed. Weather permitting, PennDOT contractors will be doing pothole patching crews. Be alert for a core boring crew that will be out on and around Interstate 80 and the Lehigh River Bridge in Kidder Township, in some areas of Monroe County, and also on Route 903 in Kidder and Penn Forest Townships, between East Mud Run Road and Route 534. During winter storms, PennDOT is using their variable message boards along area roads to communicate restrictions like reduced speeds and truck bans. Restrictions are also posted on the www.511PA. com, PA’s traveler information website, as well as on smartphone apps. Motorists can sign up for alerts on www.511PA. com by clicking on “Personal Alerts” in the left-hand menu.
