Per capita tax gone in Penn Forest

Penn Forest Township supervisors repealed the annual per capita tax for residents. Supervisors passed Ordinance #2 of 2024 eliminating the yearly $4.90 per person tax.

The former Camp Adams property, now under local

ownership, came before the board to get the property re-opened as a tourist cabin camp. There are a variety of issues to work through, and after some navigating, including an agreement to return shale trailer campsites their original states, the 450-acre Camp Pocono can move ahead towards being

open this summer. It will start with 34 renovated cabins originally built in the 1970s.

A letter from long-time township emergency management coordinator (EMC) David Michael III was accepted with regret, and a

Kidder Planning hears concerns of citizens over truck terminals

At a workshop session on Tuesday, May 14, Kidder citizens got a chance to air their opinions and show their research on the effects of truck terminals – traffic, noise, air pollution, light pollution… Several citizens spoke, and others submitted their documents for the Planning Commission members to review. Among the comments were issues of a forest buffer from the roadway, and a need to know the tenant of a building ahead of time. Citizen Beth Hurley, a leader of the Love Kidder Township group, referred the members to a model ordinance, and asked that future buildings start with a conditional use, rather than a permitted one.

Beth

makes a point in speaking to the Planning Commission at the May 14 workshop meeting.

A recommendation was to have solar panels on the roofs of these big structures.

Citizen Linda Mourar wanted the township to

take note of the cumulative effect of the truck traffic. Chairman of the Planning Commission Robert Dobosh accepted the comments, and explained that it was time to “boil all this down (and) start making sausage.” He also

noted that some of these recommendations apply to the entire township, not just for truck terminals. It was decided to keep the comments period open to May 24, and get them all together so that they can be presented June 3, ahead of the regular planning meeting on June 5 where the topic can be further discussed.

hearty thank you for a good job. He is heading out of state.

Jesse Brennan, shown at left, stepped up and was appointed as EMC. Brennan recommended Mike Bourke to be assistant EMC, and he was also appointed. It was agreed to send Code Enforcement and Zoning officers Greg Loftus and Josh Kase to the PA Assoc. of Township Supervisors Zoning Academy to be held in East Stroudsburg on May 21 and 22. Cost is $249 each plus meals.

Pallets of field chalk, Turface, and two truckloads of infield mix were bought for the park. Some $300 worth of soccer field painting items missed the agenda, and were needed right away. Supervisor Scott Lignore of Twin Builders offered to pay for them.

The Carbon Amateur Radio Club field day will be overnight June 22 to 23, at the park.

Just over half of the monthly general fund payments, $51,615, went towards the tree trimming project, this bill for along Behrens Road. Taxes and insurances, and services made up most of the rest. Of note, $14,149 from Barry Isett & Assoc. for UCC building permits, and only $438.75 for zoning work.

The township made a $1,000 donation towards the Jim Thorpe Rotary Club’s 28th annual summer recreation program.

Supervisors’ chairman and roadmaster Roger Meckes reported the tree cutting

work is nearly completed. Town road crews are now mowing. They have also completed putting new pipe into crossings on Smith Road, with two more to go. A new pipe is needed for a crossing under Old Stage Road as the pipe there is rotting away. One thousand dollars will be set aside to buy the pipe, and the township crews will do the digging and replacing. The road will get paved this summer including over this cut.

Three lot consolidations were approved, two in Towamensing Trails and one along Route 903. Zoning issued 49 zoning permits, did 56 inspections, and issued 24 certificates of occupancy.

The department made 102 construction inspections. Five permits were issued for new homes.

A citizen asked about the proposed trails project. Supervisor Dr. Pat Holland and fellow trails proposal leader Talon Fogal are working to blend the new committee for the project. He invited public to attend the meeting the afternoon of the first Monday in July, and to monitor progress on Facebook and in the newspapers.

The park and recreation committee will hold their monthly meeting on Wednesday, May 15, at the park beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Seth’s Sightings

Flowers, flowers the warmer weather has triggered an early rhododendron bloom, an extensive honeysuckle bloom, some of our baby’s breath, and even the pale flowers of sheep laurel. It’s quite a show to add to a nice batch of irises standing tall at homes all around our area.

Regarding critters, sightings has been limited to playing deer dodge-em, and I thought I saw a gawky young bear as it crossed the road in Hickory Run State Park. A reader sent us a fine picture of a bald eagle who made a stop in White Haven earlier this month.

We attended the Bach & Handel Chorale concert

in St. Joseph’s Church in Jim Thorpe. The church is beautiful and had superb acoustics. Ruth and I know several of the singers, we enjoyed the afternoon very much.

We also took in the second performance of Now and Then at the Little Theater in Wilkes-Barre, performed by White Haven’s Legion Theatre group. It was fun. We hope to see the play again at a local venue, perhaps in Lake Harmony. I hope for good weather for the Memorial Day weekend events. MayFair, Allentown’s arts and music festival now held on the campus of Cedar Crest College, is on our radar. On June 2, there’s

a Trout Festival in White Haven free admission. The following weekend, June 8 and 9, is the Weatherly Hill Climb also free.

I’d also like the weather to hold off so I can catch up on mowing.

In sports, the Pittsburgh Penguins ECHL team, the Wheeling Nailers, were swept out of the playoffs. On the NHL level, the Boston Bruins were iced out of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by losing their series to the Florida Panthers, 2 games to 4. That takes out my cheering interests in hockey. I’m old school, in that I think hockey playoffs should be played in places like Minnesota or Quebec.

Of course, there is some merit to being inside in the air conditioning watching a hockey game in Florida, rather than outside when its 90° and humid.

I am keeping tabs on the Boston Celtics, who eked out a close win versus the Indiana Pacers in game one.

I am also more interested in the WNBA and how Caitlyn Clark is doing, as well as always cheering for the Connecticut Sun. Gas prices ticked down a bit, just in time for anyone driving places this holiday weekend. We have a family
