Bach and Handel Concert set

The Bach and Handel Chorale will close out its 37th season with their final concert to be held in the Historic St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 21 Race Street, in Jim Thorpe on Saturday, May 21, beginning at 3 pm. Tickets are $20 for Adults and $18 for Seniors and students. Children under 10 are admitted free of charge.

The concert will consist of Bach Cantata Choruses and pieces by Handel with commentary by Randall Douglas Perry, Artistic Director and Conductor. Because of the Covid pandemic, we are not able to present our concert with festival orchestra due to lack of funding. The 30-member Chorale will be accompanied on the piano by Maestro Perry.

Come and experience the beautiful music of these composers and visit the breathtaking beauty of St. Mark’s Church. The chorale is based out of Jim Thorpe and is comprised of members from all walks of life who come together every Monday evening to enjoy fellowship and the joy of singing together.

Leila Hurley and Olivia Smelas of Jim Thorpe, both graduates of Jim Thorpe Area High School, along with Shannon Remolde and Zara Zerman were recently named to the 2023-24 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team, an award that recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performance on the court and in the classroom. All four are students at Kutztown University.

To be eligible for CSC Academic All-District, student-athletes must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically, maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.50, and compete in 90 percent of the institution’s games or must start in at least 66 percent of contests.

Hurley, Remolde and Zerman are multi-year members, while this is the first honor for Smelas.

Hurley, a sophomore elementary education major, holds a 3.82 grade point average. The guard played in all 30 games and averaged 7.3 points per game,

shooting 36.7% from long distance.

Smelas, a sophomore business administration (accounting) major, boasts a 3.65 GPA. She appeared in all 30 games this season and started in 23 of them. Smelas averaged 8.4 ppg, a team-best 7.2 rebounds per game and led KU with 49 steals. She also was second with 26 blocks and 53 assists.

Academic All-District honorees are considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic AllAmerica honorees will be announced in early April.

Kidder Township approves curative amendment to zoning ordinance regarding warehouses

by Seth Isenberg

The Kidder Township Board of Supervisors moved their regular meeting to the Albrightsville Volunteer Fire Company’s social hall on primary election day, April 23. The township’s polling place took over the meeting room of the municipal building that day.

LAUBSCHER INSURANCE 570-839-2600

Audience participants asked about the curative amendment process, and language planned to be added or changed.

Resolution #4 approving the process of implementing that amendment was passed unanimously as one of the first items on the agenda. In the resolution is language to “provide adequate definitions and/or regulations regarding warehouses,” with examples of likely changes describing “storage, distribution, infrastructure, size, and environmental effects…”

The Kidder Township Historical Society sent a letter asking supervisors to

be able to use the historic Albrightsville Schoolhouse. There was discussion about getting the building inspected to determine any safety or structure issues. After that, the Historical Society will need to meet with the Albrightsville VFC, as the Schoolhouse is on the Fire Co. parking lot. It was decided to table this until the next meeting.

Regular business included ratifying Preservation Graystones LLC land development agreements, agreeing to pay for fuel for regular operations of emergency services vehicles (cost estimated at $16,000

per year), and the okay of an emergency contract to repair an area of roof at the municipal building. Larue & Son Home Improvement quoted $9,585 for the repair, and this was ratified by supervisors as part of the April 23rd agenda.

Other business included approving a disabled veteran’s real property tax exemption, accepting the reports on Kidder Police and Non-Uniformed Pension Plans, accepting three new taxed parcels in Holiday Pocono as an investor bought these from the County tax

claim bureau, and approving a bills list totaling $269,585. The big bill of the month is $35,650 for the tree trimming work of Princeton Tree Care. A total of $90,423 was disbursed to the Fire Companies and to Lake Harmony Rescue Squad. Other large payments go for health insurances and taxes.

Supervisor Noel Torres, as roadmaster, reported that the Meckes Lane bridge was re-inspected and is back to an inspection every two years. A review of records put to rest the possibility that there was movement by the piers. The only repairs to do

are for ‘minor’ scouring.

Kidder Police chief Matthew Kuzma reported that March calls were 221. Most of the batch, 89 calls, were for traffic enforcement. There were 10 civil complaints and 9 ‘parking problems.’ Extra traffic enforcement will start this week.

Township manager Suzanne Brooks thanked I.D. Logistics for their cleanup of trash along Route 940, and also thanked Century21 for their roadsides cleanup. Brooks will also look into updating the Emergency Operations Plan.

Supervisors will meet in May at the regular site, the township building in Lake Harmony.

Seth’s Sightings

A frosty feeling is what I get when I look at all the frost-scorched magnolia trees around our area. This past week, nights were in the 20s, so that did them in. Such beautiful full flowers of white and purple, now shades of orange or worse, all brown. There’s no blame, just the vagaries of spring in Northeast PA. I am now concerned about my flowering cherry and apple trees.

Earthquakes, an eclipse, hailstorms, made last month extra-interesting. We’ll take a dull month on this stuff.

Thank you to all those who voted this Tuesday. Congratulations to the winners, though I want to

grump about the fact that Pennsylvanians did not get a real chance to influence the presidential election as the candidates are set.

Congratulations to ladies college basketball champs South Carolina, and men’s champ UConn, and men’s college ice hockey champs the U of Denver.

Sightings this month possum, vultures, fox, skunks, geese, stray cats, an owl at midnight, and deer and more deer. It also seems to be a great start to the fishing season.

Our Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins have a best of three games play-in to the Calder Cup playoffs. We’ve got good talent

and added more from the Pittsburgh Penguins who failed to advance this year.

WBS lost their first game against the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, so it will be two wins in a row or pack your bags and go home.

Congress is actually working voting bills out for the President to sign. It’s a nice change from the all-talk and no action.

Looking ahead join WVIA now and your family gets a free day of rides at Knoebels on May 5. There’s Kentucky Derby parties around that Saturday, the 4th. And, NASCAR, NBA playoffs and ice hockey playoffs.

Happy Passover to those who are celebrating.

Enjoy the warm days and hopefully there will be no more frosty nights. Good health to all.

PSP seeks applicants for annual youth camp

The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP), in collaboration with the Pennsylvania National Guard and Pennsylvania American Legion, is accepting applications for its annual youth camp. The Elmer HaferAmerican Legion-State PoliceNational Guard Youth Camp will be held June 9-15, at Messiah University in Mechanicsburg.

The six-day summer leadership camp is for ages 15 to 17, interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement or the military. The camp, formerly known as State Police Youth Week, works to improve the relationship between Pennsylvania’s youth and

the law enforcement community. This year marks the 52nd camp held since its inception in 1970.

“This camp and others like it, including our Camp Cadet programs, offer young people a chance to build confidence and enhance leadership skills.” said Colonel Christopher Paris, Commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police. “Attendees will make memories that will last a lifetime while getting a chance to see firsthand what a career in law enforcement or the military can offer.”

Members of the PSP, the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, and the American Legion staff the

week-long camp. Cadets work on team-building exercises, physical fitness training, classroom activities involving police and military careers, and a marksmanship course. Cadets also visit the State Police Academy in Hershey and Fort Indiantown Gap National Guard Training Center in Lebanon County. The camp offers three $1,000 scholarship awards at the conclusion of the week.

“Considering a career of service to our commonwealth or nation is a big choice for teens and their families,” said Maj. Gen. Mark Schindler, Pennsylvania’s adjutant general and head of the DMVA. “Programs like this allow teens to explore their interest and provide a closer look at what a future with the PSP or the PANG might look like.”

Hi all, Congresswoman Susan Wild here!

Applicants must be between the ages of 15 and 17 prior to entering the camp and not reach age 18 during the camp. Cadets who previously attended are not eligible to apply again. Applicants should be physically fit, in good health, and have a good academic record. There is no cost to participants, as their local American Legion post sponsors their attendance.

Interested applicants can read more about the camp by visiting pa-legion. com. Applications are available on the legion’s application page.

Additionally, State Police personnel host regional camp cadet programs for Pennsylvanians 11-15. Contact your local Troop Community Services Officer for more information.

Opinion: First Steps

by Seth Isenberg

The idea of a public walking path for Penn Forest Township residents has taken its first steps toward reality. The efforts of Dr. Patrick Holland and Talon

Fogal have produced a plan, and attracted volunteers to help take that plan through the hoops to the point where dirt is turned, and then cinders get spread and rolled.

The plan is a good one.

First, the path would go north from the township park to the Penn Forest Streams entry. Here, families can walk off busy Route 903 to businesses, and to the park. Kids on their bicycles would be safer.

The plan, printed here, shows that first path. It also shows an ambitious second path, again from the park, but going east across the Turnpike and then north to and through the Conrad Weiser State Forest to Stoney Hollow Road and near to the developments in the north part of the township.

Best to keep focused on the first steps, but the next steps are ambitious, and wonderful. Earliest steps are studies, then the first state grants good luck to the committee. We are here to support you.

Training at I.D. Logistics spotlights search and rescue, ropes work for firefighters around the region

by Seth Isenberg

The Lake Harmony Volunteer Fire Company hosted a Wide-Area Search and Rescue training class for mutual aid partners on February 19 and 24 at the I.D. Logistics warehouse building on Route 940. The class attracted a total of 25 firefighters 13 firefighters from mutual aid partners including from Tunkhannock Township VFD, Penn Forest Township #2 VFD, Weatherly Citizens Fire Co., and a few singles, plus

12 firefighters from Lake Harmony. The 12-hour program was taught by adjunct instructors from the PA State Fire Academy including lieutenant Matthew Miller of the host fire company. There were four hours of classroom work, then training out in the warehouse using a Searching Large Scale Buildings program developed by the Jersey City Fire Department. The photos show search ropes techniques in a nice and brightly lit setting. The techniques are used often in

dark, smoky environments. The program was free. Instructors were paid through the fire academy. The program gave Lake Harmony VFC officers lieutenant Miller, department chief Joe Lennon, captain Lee DiSimone, chief Ralph Lennon, and lieutenant Noel Torres a chance to become familiar with the building at 880 Route 940, to set up alarm cards, and get familiar with the water system there.
