Trash card policy discussed

by Seth Isenberg

At July’s Penn Forest Township supervisors meeting a citizen’s request for a replacement garbage permit card for one that never arrived was lost in the mail led to a robust conversation about getting systems in place for problems like this. There is no provision in the rules to not charge for a replacement card. Supervisor Pat Holland wants to see this fixed.

Ideas include having cards available for pickup at the township office in addition to the mailed option.

Without there being a rule for supervisors to follow, the citizen, even as persuasive as he was, did not get a free replacement.

Chairman Roger Meckes led a discussion about trimming trees along township roads, saying that the last full trim might have been “ten or fifteen years ago.” The work can be done in the fall or later. Tree services have been contacted, and proposals are welcome.

The project at the Transfer Station for a ramp and retaining wall is going to get guide rails as part of a change order adding

$13,320 to the cost.

Meckes obtained a quote from Shiffer Bituminous to pave the shoulder at the sharp corner on Stony Mountain Road where a pothole has been. It should help keep everyone on asphalt, though there will also be lines painted to discourage cutting the corner. $5,000 was allotted for the work.

As roadmaster, Meckes reported that the township crew was doing some tree trimming, line striping, and preparing a drainage pipe crossing.

Kidder Police receive praise

by Seth Isenberg

Kidder Township’s police department (KTP) has been busy this summer, and as the call numbers mount, so too do letters of praise for work done well. Citizens have also offered compliments to the police via phone calls.

During June, KTP had 240

calls for service, and of those, 60 were traffic summons or were traffic related. The department has hired patrolman Michael Nikityuk as a part-time officer.

Details of the fouryear collective bargaining agreement between Kidder Township and its police union, approved by

supervisors last month, are that wages increase 12% in 2024, 6% in 2025, 4% in 2026 and 4% 2027. A patrolman’s pay, about $34 per hour in 2023, will be $44.27 in 2027. Negotiations were primarily about pay/ cost of living, and were “cordial,” according to

Regarding the township park, permissions were given for a birthday party, and for a youth basketball camp, both in July. Supervisors also will offer a renewal contract for the food truck currently at the park of three months, or six, beginning in August. Day rentals to monthly agreements are available to other food vendors.

Fire police were given permission to work at the Carbon County Fair, and to help the Jim Thorpe police department with traffic control for Iron Ramblers excursions.

A letter was received from the firm that was responsible for the cleanup of an oil truck rollover on Drakes Creek Road, stating the work is done and there is no contamination.

In the Treasurer’s report, the township has nearly $6 million in certificates of deposit, and $4.4 million in the township’s Mauch Chunk Trust checking. In that, the general fund is $2,621,330 from which

$87,910 was spent in June. Spending includes $20,220 in returning William Rivera’s fire escrow; a total of $15,208 for Barry Isett & Associates zoning service ($9,284) and engineering work; $10,835 to Kobalt Construction for their completing of the trench drain at the Transfer Station; the township secretary’s bond costs $10,342; $5,253 AND $4,970 for IRS taxes; $4,086 for filing cabinets; $3,863 to Berkheimer for their tax collection services; $2,323 to Five Star Equipment to repair the backhoe; and $1,560 to rent a boom lift to finish the bird netting over the salt in the new salt shed.

Supervisors agreed to release $23,671 to Dutchman Contracting for the 4th payment towards the new salt shed. A balance of $1,750 remains for Dutchman.

The Zoning report notes 71 zoning permits 10 of those for STRs. The system for tracking complaints about Short-Term Rentals should be ready to use. Also in the reports, there are 7 permits issued for new homes. The Zoning office is looking into a property where there was construction without a permit.

There were 46 rightto-know requests, and 38 information requests regarding zoning and septic questions. All were answered, most receiving documents.

The next Penn Forest supervisors meeting is Monday, August 7, at 7 p.m.

Family Promise of Carbon County to celebrate expansion

The Carbon Chamber and Economic Development Corp. has announced a ribbon cutting ceremony for the expansion of Family Promise of Carbon County to be held at its new Nesquehoning location 140 W. Mill St., 4 to 6 p.m., Monday, August 21.

“It’s an exciting time for Family Promise of Carbon County as well as the residents who will benefit from our shelter,” said Family Promise Director Cathy Lamm.

“I am humbled by the continued generosity of the community and

look forward to serving the community for many years to come.”

Family Promise of Carbon County, a nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization has been making a profound impact on the lives of families facing homelessness across the country since its inception in 2011.

The new location was officially opened in February 2022, marking a significant milestone for the nonprofit. With the support of a $65,000 grant from The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation in 2020, Family Promise of Carbon County embarked on a transformative project to purchase and renovate the vacant West Mill Street building.

Family Promise of Carbon County goes beyond just providing shelter by offering case management services, such as mental health care, housing assistance, dental care and well-care visits with their primary care providers.

Recently at the new location a young boy learned

to ride a bike in the shelter’s parking lot, and a birthday party was hosted for a 2-year-old girl. Currently the shelter is home to six families and carries a wait list of over 20 families in need of assistance.

According to a federally mandated Point in Time Count, the number of people experiencing homelessness in Carbon County has tripled between 2021 and 2022. Data from the Coalition for Low Income Pennsylvanians and Coalition on Human Needs revealed a child poverty rate of over 17% in Carbon County. In 2022, over half of the population earning less than $26,000 spent more than half of See FAMILY PROMISE, page 6

Seth’s Sightings

July has been a busy month. There has been so much to do, and we did a lot.

During the Hot times, there were lines of people at our local ice cream stands trying to keep cool during the hot–hot days. High temperatures and humidity kept many of us inside, near air conditioning.

I’ve been watching temperatures in Texas and Arizona, and back in California north of Sacramento where my dad used to live. Temps climbed to 100° plus.

We kept our outdoor activities short, leaving the air-conditioned car only for live music.

Last weekend, we started our fun by stopping at the local fireman’s carnival for some food and to hear the band. On Saturday, we drove to attend Martin on Main in Nazareth to hear various artists (many of whom work for Martin Guitars). We arrived after driving through

a rainstorm to a damp festival but in good spirits as the rain had stopped… then the sun came out. Earlier in the month, we attended the InterTribal Pow-Wow in Drums, followed by a visit to church festival for lunch and a try at their great Tricky Tray, followed by a ride to an event

we’ve been trying to get to for several years, the Benton Rodeo. The rotten weather from the previous day nearly scared us off. There was still a possibility of a storm, but when it came time for the rodeo to start, all was calm. We watched some bull riding (more like cowboy throwing) and saddle bronc,

and then came a bit of rain not a thunderstorm. Some of the crowd fled for cover, while the rest of us stayed put. There was ladies’ breakaway roping going on… so if they could compete in the rain, we could cheer them on. The rain quit after about 15 minutes, leaving

my front and top wet, and the rest of me mostly dry. I was damp but comfortable by the time the second round of cowboy throwing–bull riding. This round, one of the six stayed on to get a qualified ride so Bulls 11-Cowboys 1. As a p.s., See SIGHTINGS, page 5

the bulls and saddle bronc horses were beautiful.

The Benton Rodeo is in its 38th season. It’s a big arena with bleachers nearly all the way around. Tickets were $18, $14 for seniors. Parking is $5 and once you are in, you stay to wait for the parking lot to clear.

Another note, the food prices were great $5 for a burger, $4 for a raspberry milkshake, for example. We plan to go back next year.

On NASCAR race weekend, our chance to see ARCA racing got rained out with the rain starting just before race time. It poured for about 10 minutes, and I took shelter under the grandstand. The sun came out after the dousing, but the race had been postponed until 8:30 in the morning on Saturday. I wasn’t going to get up that early.

Ruth and I shared Saturday afternoon at the raceway, enjoying some Fan Fair kudos to the Geico NASCAR history display and some racing.

While in line for a milkshake, we saw race car driver Sammy Smith meet a young fan, about 7 yearsold, who was wearing a Sammy Smith t-shirt. He in line ahead of us, and had the shake before walking nearly straight into Smith. The kid

was ‘over the moon’ excited and got a few minutes with his hero, and pictures.

The truck race was particularly exciting. The Xfinity race was fun, but we had to leave before the checkered flag in order to arrive at the Pocono Mountains Music Festival event that evening at Pocono Mountain East High School. The show that night featured singer Christine Andreas and her husband and accompanist Marty Silvestri. It was wonderful, and so too was this year’s run of performances. We are lucky to have such an event locally.

Sunday’s NASCAR race enjoyed beautiful Pocono weather, and a fine race that ended with Denny Hamlin holding the checkered flag. We left a bit early to avoid being hemmed in the raceway parking lot, instead getting hemmed in as Route 115 filled up its three lanes and came to a stop, but even that didn’t last too long

before traffic was converted to two lanes north from Route 903.

Sightings include the gorgeous full “supermoon” rising through the clouds on Monday night.

There are fawns and more fawns all around. There are also some nice bucks around we sighted one bouncing, kicking and twisting in front of several females.

We’ve been visiting several local farms to get some farm grown eggs and vegetables including local sweet corn, and add to our flowering plants. On one visit, I sighted a hummingbird who came to sample flowers, and dine at their feeder. It was large and plain, so likely a female. It hovered a bit, then after feeding sped away.

As July heated up, I heard my first June bug of the summer a sound I associate with August at summer camp.

At the end of my day this

past week, I was unpacking the car to go in the house when I encountered a doe quietly walking down the alley toward me, getting a little too close. I turned to go into our garage, and she turned into a yard two houses up from me.

If you have your own critter sighting or story, and would like to share it with me, send it along to journalseth@pa.metrocast. net marked as Sightings.

This week is the Mahoney Brothers’ Beatles and More free shows at Knoebels through Sunday the 6th three shows a day with two of those in the evening. We are trying to attend two shows see you there?

Musikfest starts August 4 with loads of shows, free and ticketed, through the 12th.

The end of this season’s PA Shakespeare Festival draws near. We’ve enjoyed terrific performances in DeSales U.’s air conditioned theaters. For their end of season, shows are daily to the 6th.

The Carbon County Fair starts Monday the 7th and runs to Saturday the 12th. On that Saturday is the 4-H Youth animals auction something Ruth and I always find fun, supporting the kids.

As the weather has cooled the nights are tolerable again. Here’s to cool nights for comfortable sleeping. Good health to you all.

About Family Promise of Carbon County:

Family Promise of Carbon County is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that began its mission in 2011 to serve the homeless and poverty-stricken in the local community. As part of the national Family Promise movement, the organization provides comprehensive and holistic solutions to families facing homelessness. Through coordinated compassion and ongoing support, Family Promise of Carbon County helps families rebuild their lives and prepares them for a successful future.

About The Carbon Chamber and Economic Development Corporation:

The members of the Carbon Chamber and Economic Development Corp. are a catalyst for continuously creating cooperative and prosperous businesses to enhance our community.

here in Carbon County. For some residents, this is an opportunity to host out-oftown families – either as an Airbnb or a VRBO (vacation rental by owner). These sort-term rentals are a wonderful alternative to traditional short-term lodging options. They can help invigorate our local economy and provide additional income options for homeowners or investors. Despite those benefits, though, when a property being used as a short-term rental does not comply with local or state laws, or becomes a nuisance property, it can become

problematic for those nearby.

To address these issues, I recently introduced House Bill 1363, which will provide for better enforcement and oversight of Airbnb and VRBO rentals.

I’ve heard these complaints from local residents, and so I have introduced this bill to create a “code of conduct” for short-term rentals, which reiterates the need that these types of rentals need to be in compliance with all local, state and federal laws. This can include all occupancy, parking, noise limits, etc., or even the registering and licensing requirements that

local communities already may have in place.

My legislation would also provide legal relief options for neighbors and local communities when a short-term rental property becomes problematic, and a local government does not have the policing force or manpower to enforce their ordinances and laws.

But to keep a healthy balance, House Bill 1363 will also prohibit local governments from unnecessarily prolonging or stalling the licensing or registering of shortterm rentals that are

in compliance with all ordinances, laws or requirements.

Finally, my legislation will allow the courts to direct listing platforms for short-term rentals to delist properties, if they are continuously a nuisance property, and the court deems delisting necessary.

I hope that my legislation will be a step in the right direction to help foster shortterm rentals in a healthy way, invigorating our local economy and boosting our tourism, without allowing them to become neighborhood nuisances.

Police Beat

7-25, PA State Police from Fern Ridge and Hazleton, and multiple fire companies were dispatched to the site of a Bradstreet Circle home that had exploded at about 9:20 a.m. Investigation by the Troop N Fire Marshal found it was a propane related explosion, and nothing suspicious was determined. No one was home at the time there were no injuries.

7-24, Troopers interviewed a 15 y/o girl who was the subject of a Child Line report about abuse. The report was that of threats of beatings, withholding food, and clothes. The victim admitted to police that

by Seth Isenberg

she falsified the report to minimize the trouble she was in for getting kicked out of summer camp. The file was closed, marked unfounded.

7-10, 8:39 p.m., Pocono Mountain Regional Police were called to a domestic dispute at a Stillwater Estates home. As police were arriving to the development, they saw the suspect drive out. A traffic stop was attempted, but the suspect would not stop. A pursuit throughout Pocono Summit, and Mt. Pocono, led to a vehicle stop in Pocono Township once stop sticks were deployed to puncture his tires. He was then arrested.

PMRPD’s report shows that

the 36 y/o man threatened family members with an axe, attempting to strike a few which became a fight from which he fled in his car. Police took him to Lehigh Valley HospitalPocono to be examined for an injury. He was released from the hospital on 7-11 to the Monroe County Jail. He is charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and fleeing and eluding police.

A 56 y/o Jim Thorpearea man is charged with shoplifting 11 cigars from a Brodheadsville store (one of the cigars was worth over $90, and another $55) – filed 7-19.

7-18, PSP-F responded to a domestic incident

in Albrightsville where a 61 y/o had gotten into an argument with his 81 y/o mother-in-law. When police were on scene, he tried to leave the house and also refused to provide identification. This got him arrested and he then resisted arrest. Charges are filed at the local District Judge’s office.

7-16, PSP investigated the vandalism of the former golf course clubhouse on Stony Mountain Road in Penn Forest Twp. Vandals destroyed a bathroom, metal ductwork, and broke a skylight. Anyone with information is asked to call PSP-F HQ at 570 646-2271.

PSP-F cited two Chestnuthill Twp. businesses for having nine and 12 false alarms at their properties during the past 12 months.

Keeping the Rubber Side down 7-26, 3:30 p.m., an Effort local was driving her car south on Route 715 when she was passed by a car towing a utility trailer, but the end of the trailer hit the left front of her car. The car and trailer drove off, perhaps not knowing of the collision. PSP is seeking to identify the hit-and-run driver. Any witness or anyone with information is asked to call PSP-F HQ at 570 646-2271.

7-22, a Freeland driver on Towamensing Trail in Albrightsville lost control of his ’15 Ford Explorer and crashed into a utility pole about 3 p.m. Lehighton Ambulance transported the 30 y/o to St. Luke’s Carbon Hospital for treatment of minor injuries sustained in the crash. The Explorer was towed.

7-17, a Jetta on its roof? Just before 7 a.m., the 35 y/o Kunkletown woman driving the Jetta north on Route 715 was distracted by a text, and lost control of the car. It clipped, a utility pole and then rolled over onto its roof in the northbound lane. She was hurt, and she was also DUI. LVH ambulance took her to LVH-Pocono for treatment and a blood draw. A ticket for the crash, and for the suspected DUI, went with her – PSP-F. PSP also reports a handful of DUIs.

Daisy Troop forming to meet at PK Elementary

by Lori R. Cooper

Janeen Taylor had been a Brownie troop helper for

her daughter, who is now 31 years old. After moving to the mountains permanently two years ago with

her 6-year-old, Isabella, she was looking for ways for her daughter to interact with other girls. There were no opportunities in the immediate area. Taylor was looking for “a sense of community for young girls and hopefully they will grow up with this group without distance having to be a hindrance.”

Taylor met Briana Doyle, who had been a Brownie, at their daughters’ preschool. They began discussing ways for their daughters to interact with other girls their age in the area and began a Penn Kidder Girl Scouts Troop. The Daisy troop began meeting in June after a year of planning. The troop is in its early stages, and they are still deciding on what type of activities they will do. Currently they are working on arts and crafts projects and small projects. The Daisies will be able to earn badges. The first one is a flower badge, then petals are added for various accomplishments such as “compassion and caring” or doing something for a neighbor.

Doyle and Taylor are brainstorming plans for fees and dues and hope to help the troop members learn about money. The fall cookie sale will be a part of this.

Doyle noted,” it’s important for my child to be involved in activities to be well rounded.” The first year of the troop the leaders are hoping to solidify the routine, get girls to join, learn ideas as leaders and generate income to be able to do activities with the children.

Meetings are held at the Penn Kidder Elementary Wednesdays at 6:00. To register contact Liz Saba at lsaba@gshpa.org or 717-2167431. There is a $35 registration fee.
