New supervisor for Penn Forest Twp.

by Seth Isenberg

Penn Forest Township su pervisors thanked all citizens who came forward to apply for the vacant supervisor’s term when their Sep tember 6 meeting began. The first order of busi ness was to swear in Jim Denier as the new supervisor, above. Denier then took a seat with the rest of the supervisors.

Chairman Roger Meckes said, “We had a lot of appli cants.” Vice chair Christian Bartulovich added that it was “a difficult choice to make.”

Supervisors next heard public comments, again primarily about Short Term Rentals (STRs). It was noted that Granicus, the township’s violations recording agency, did not send a representa tive to the town hall meeting about STRs. Peg and Larry

Dusablon were back, with Larry asking why a property he has called about five times this year is not on its way to being shut down. Peg added to that, telling supervisors that “we are disturbed week end after weekend… We want the problems prevented.” She concluded that the Granicus system is not helping them.

On this, Bartulovich ex plained that for a property vio lating the ordinance to resolve the problem the same day means the problem is solved.

Other speakers gave exam ples where a home may have a large crowd in it, overtax ing the septic system at that property. Supervisors ac knowledged that the majority of violation notices sent out by the township have been for ex ceeding maximum occupancy.

Supervisors voted to ad vertise to hire a part-time code enforcement officer. Pay would be $18 an hour, and more if the position would become full time.

Mountain Laurel Golf Club to close

Owners asking for property to be rezoned by Seth Isenberg

The owners of the Moun tain Laurel Golf Club at tended East Side Borough’s September 1 council meet ing to advance their case to have their property rezoned to Highway Business-B1 from Conservation. Attorney

Stephanie Koval of Fitzpat rick Lentz & Bubba, of Allen town, told council the owners want to put the property up for sale, for its “highest and best use.”

The restaurant at the golf course will serve its last meals on October 2, then golfing will end on November

11, after which the business will be closed.

Koval noted that the own ers want to rezone to get the best price for their property.

Sisters Maureen Bufalino and Catherine Gower, whose family owns the property, explained that since their family bought the proper MOUNTAIN LAUREL,

Jay York was hired as the township’s new working fore man, at a pay rate of $23 an hour, to start September 19.

The treasurer’s report shows $3,371,942 in the general fund after bills of $690,623. The big item was the 2022 paving proj ects $529,314 paid to the H&K Group. For the trench drain project at the Transfer Station, Kobalt Construc tion was paid $99,346. Barry Isett & Assoc. (BIA) was paid a total of $23,758 for zoning services and then four bills for engineering work. The cost of the thermo-plastic for Route 903 was $14,025.

Among the projects reviewed by BIA was the pump track specs. Bids came in for the pump track, with local company offering to do the work for $85,000 a substantial discount.

Supervisors accepted this bid, with a plan to have the work complete in 2023.

A second payment to Kobalt Construction was approved, for $50,114, as they are nearly done with the work. The next project to be underway at the Transfer Station will be build ing the salt shed. A pre-con struction meeting has been held, and the work should be underway in October.

Ten benches were bought from Uline at $575 each, to be installed at the township park.

Supervisors received a let ter of resignation from one of the original park & recreation committee member, Richard Strack. His letter and resig nation were accepted with re gret, Bartulovich saying, “It’s a huge loss.” Holly Rivera, a long-time volunteer with the committee, was named to the open position.

Supervisors and the park & recreation committee are ex

ploring the idea of adding an other rest room to the park.

Supervisors reluctantly agreed to pay an additional $700 for a now 2023 Honda SXS700 UTV the addition al cost because the manufac turer shipped the 2023 unit and not the 2022 version that was ordered.

The agreement between the township and fire compa nies regarding fire trucks as they are finally clear of any payment was tabled for some more work to be done.

A draft of an amendment to the township zoning ordi nance to prohibit new STRs within 500 feet of an exist ing licensed property was defeated 2-3, Denier voting “no” along with Meckes and Pat Holland. The discussion is to make the distance 1,000 feet. It was noted the new rule would impact only new applications. A revised set

of zoning permit fees was tabled in order to look at the entire fee schedule to likely raise many of them due to increased costs.

Supervisors were unani mous in offering a contract to Shiffer Bituminous to replace a double 24″ pipe on Forest Street, and then repave the pavement cut, at a quoted cost of $9,200, but not to exceed $11,800.

Advertisements to get bids for winter snow removal will be placed.

A draft ordinance estab lishing rules about truck dis tribution centers will be sent to the township and Carbon County Planning Commis sions to have them review it for 30 days. The township is now using a consultant to set up rules for large scale solar farms, to go through this same process once these rules are ready.

Resort plans to divide property

by Seth Isenberg

The Mountain Laurel Resort at the Turnpike in Kidder Township came before the Kidder Planning Commission on September 7 to present a subdivision plan for their 136-acre proper ty. The Resort proposes to divide the western-most 49 acres off to create a piece that can be collateralized. The Resort has no plans to develop this piece at this time.

Planning Commission members had questions about right-of-ways into the lot, about a driveway from Route 940, and about sewer connections. Current access to the western side of the property is via a dirt road.

The answers to these ques tions were that if the subdi vision occurs, there will be a right-of-way from the resort property including a utili ty right-of-way for a sewer connection – when needed. It was repeated that there are no development plans.

No action by the Planning Commission was needed.

The other item of busi ness that night was a two-lot combination for properties on South Lake Drive at Alder Lane. The combination was approved. The owner of the combined property has no development plans at this time.

The Kidder Planning Com mission will meet next on Wednesday, October 5.

Introducing Lending that’s Simple, Safe & Fast

ty 16 years ago, it has been “subsidized by our other businesses…”

“(These) last three years have killed us,” said Gower.

“It’s time to stop,” added Bufalino. “We want to sell … (to) recoup the money we

have put into it.”

Thomas Shepstone of Shepstone Management, also speaking for the property owners, explained that with over 52,000 vehicles passing by the property on Interstate 80 each day (on average), there are good business uses for the property, not just as a site for a warehouse.

Attorney Koval added that they were applying to re zone their property in Kidder Township as well. The golf club’s clubhouse and pro shop, along with most of nine holes and its driving range are in East Side and abut Interstate 80. The balance of the course, including the lon gest holes, are in Kidder.

Council members were wary of the proposal, and the traffic increase that it may bring. East Side coun cil president Lou Esa noted

that council has received 23 e-mails so far opposing the change of the site to allow a warehouse. He also said that a petition in the communi ty is on its way to collecting 1,000 signatures opposed to the change.

Esa offered his opinion that East Side Borough is a good place to raise kids, and implied that the borough is not in need of a change.

Koval asked council how the property owners move ahead. East Side Borough’s solicitor James Nanovic sug gested that they find a way to show a market study. In formation about options for uses other than for a ware house site “would be help ful,” offered Nanovic.

The property owners are expected to return for East Side Council’s October meet ing.

Seth’s Sightings

Our week ahead of Labor Day was just crazy. It started with medical day to see my lead oncologist and surgeon at the University of Pennsyl vania in Philadelphia, plus a CAT scan and an X-ray. See ing two doctors and having two tests took 5 and a half hours in the Perelman build ing, plus two hours each way of travel time. Losing a work day compressed our Tuesday, which meant that we had to put out three newspapers in three days. By Friday we were fried and needed a break. We are blessed with ex tended family in Annapolis. They have a spare bedroom

in their basement one that looks out on one of the little river coves, Weems Creek. We gratefully accepted their hospitality, then made our way there on Saturday and enjoyed a quiet evening and the peace of just staring out over the creek, watching the birds and boats.

On Sunday, our hosts treated us to a boat tour out around the Naval Academy and then along the Severn River to the Chesapeake Bay. It was terrific. We saw an Aegis cruiser docked behind the Academy’s sailboat marina, a variety of sail and motorboats, and a

by Seth Isenberg

tourist pirate ship where the ‘pirates’ (mainly little kids and their parents) were in full attack mode with water guns directed at a pair of staff out in a small boat.

When the cruise was over, our hosts gave us a tour in side the Academy grounds (they have a pass onto the secure property). It’s a beau tiful campus. The students who were in their dress whites for trips off campus are also quite impressive.

Later, we all took a ride south along the Chesapeake via country roads to North Beach on the Chesapeake Bay. There we walked the board walk to the pier and admired the families in the water. It was not a beach day for us but on our way back to Annapolis, we stopped for a few minutes at a tiny beach right off the

road to just walk in up to our ankles and experience the warm water of the bay.

We finished the day with a harborside seafood dinner.

During the weekend, we spent time with our hosts watching the U.S. Open Ten nis Tournament on TV. We were thrilled by the match where Nick Kyrgios defeated #1 Danil Medvedev. (I still prefer watching football.)

While there, we learned that the Maryland Renaissance Faire was going on about 15 minutes from where we were staying. The Faire invited senior citizens (us) to attend on Labor Day Monday for free. We decided to detour on our way home to take a quick look. It’s huge, and packs a lot of entertainment. And people. Food is plentiful and reasonably priced. Paths are packed dirt and stone, with roots and stuff, so it was

hard rolling for me. We kept our stay short so our trip home would be mostly in daylight. We plan to return. This Faire runs weekends to October 23.

We got home in the dark and took very two happy dogs back to sleep in their own beds again. And us too.

The Philadelphia Funk Au thority headlined the Palmer ton Festival on the Friday of the second weekend of this September. We’d wanted to see this band at Musikfest but found that they were at the other end of the event on the day we were there. This night, we brought our festival chairs and enjoyed the show, plus of course some of the foods sold by area churches and non-profits.

This past Saturday night was the retirement roast for state Senator Mario Scavello. Ruth and I attended a fun evening, where the man of honor enjoyed a small barrage of funny stories and teasing. There were laughs galore, and we found some friends to sit with.

The roast was held in the Kalahari Convention Center. In the Center’s other ballroom at the far end of the building was where Enterprise Rent-ACar was having its regional sales recognition with a luau-themed party. When I stepped out of the roast for a moment, I could hear the sounds of fun coming from their ballroom, which was half a block away. Our event ended earlier than theirs. As we walked by their room, a group was in full pirate attack mode on the stage, with plastic swords held high to salute the top performers of the quarter…arrrgh.

I am enjoying the start of the football season. The NFL has been fun with wins by the Eagles and Bucs and

Sightings

many spectacular plays. The Patriots bounced back from their opening day loss with

a respectable win. Even the Jets looked good during week two.

I’m very happy with the college football, especially with Penn State now getting

national ranking. Marshall had their biggest win ever, beating Notre Dame at South Bend. The odd team for me to follow this year is Incar nate Word of Texas, whose

team is 2 and 0 as of this column Go Word...

Sightings these past few weeks, here and in Mary land, include a large coyote seen crossing the road north of Weatherly, a large bear off Route 903 in Lake Harmony, some turkeys, foxes, and lots of butterflies. In Annapolis, we sighted cormorants, herons, lots of gulls, ducks, and a pos sible merganser duck though maybe a kingfisher. Also of note was a gull floating on the breeze beside the Bay Bridge as we drove up the bridge and then under him so close that we could almost touch him. Our area finally got some rain, the gentle steady kind that truly nourishes the plants. The quick gullywash er thunderstorms that blew through late in August gave us wet, but not the kind of deep soil wet to help the plants and trees as our plants and trees are all stressed by the lack of water.

There’s now some color on leaves early fall foliage. The burning bush in front of our house has started to tinge towards red. Perhaps our rainy days will have come just in time to extend this fall’s foliage season.

On the 24th is Penn Forest Park’s first ever park festival rain or shine. Look for us as we plan to have a booth.

That night, we are attending the Blakeslee Rotary Club’s Night at the Races fund raiser for the Rotary and Tunkhannock Township Fire Co. held at the fire house in Long Pond. Doors open at 5.

The Bethlehem Celtic Classic is August 23 to 25. Ruth and I are planning an afternoon visit to the Bethlehem on the 25th for a few hours of Celtic fun.

The Bloomsburg Fair starts on the 23rd and continues to Oct. 1 (we’ll attend for an evening during the week, likely on the 29th).

As the weather cools, we’re thinking of going to an apple orchard for Winesap apples and more. Further ahead, this year’s Covered Bridge Festival is at the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds Oct. 6 to 9. I also want to attend the PA Renaissance Faire later this month, on a cool day.

Here’s to a football-filled, sunny September, and to keeping warm as the weath er cools (and here’s to lower diesel and heating oil prices). Best of health to you all.

A sweet and happy new year to all who celebrate Rosh Ha’Shana, beginning on the 25th and that Mon day, and then an easy fast for Yom Kippur on October 4th to 5th.

Showing cars to benefit Valor House

Horn did the paint job on the trucks and Gilmartin han dled the mechanical needs. Both trucks had been farm vehicles and were “too slow” maxing at 40 mph. Horn noted that it is a “continu ous process to update the trucks.” a common theme among the car owners.

Mt. Pocahontas in Al brightsville held its inaugural car show on September 10. Part of the proceeds benefit Valor House which provides access assessing benefits and shelter for veterans with lim ited or no access to care.

Events coordinator Ellen Cuffari noted that the event was planned when commu nity member Bradley Fly came to her with the idea. Bradley recently moved into Mt. Pocahontas and wanted to “try to help the communi ty as I love cars and motorcy cles.” He chose Valor House because “Veterans don’t get

enough recognition and I have family members in the military.”

He has been doing car shows for 5 years with his ‘03 Ford Mustang GT convert ible, which was his dad’s.

Bob Horn, owner of a 1950 Chevy truck, and his friend Duane Gilmartin, owner of 1948 Chevy truck showed their vehicles side by side.

A purple Dodge Hellcat was a show favorite. When asked how he got into cars, owner Darrien Reiss went into his car and pulled out a picture of a familiar 60s and 70s cartoon character. It was Speed Racer. Many of us recall the theme song, “Go Speed Racer, go“ ,with his sidekick Chim Chim the

Steve Berger brought his ‘65 El Camino, shown bottom

2017 and was in “bad shape.” Now painted “glamour green pearl,” the vehicle shines.

Door prizes such as car care products were donated

by local businesses. A 50/50 raffle was held, with ½ the proceeds going to Valor House. Donations were sug gested for hamburgers and hot dogs cooked on the grill.

Colonel Robert Evanchick, commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police, announced that 64 cadets have graduated from the Pennsylvania State Police Academy in August. The class was the 164th to graduate from the academy in Hershey since it opened in 1960.

Evanchick told the cadets the rigorous training and education they received serve as the foundation of their careers. “You will be scrutinized for every decision you make and sometimes for the decisions other law enforcement officers make,” he said. “You need to be true to yourself, our Call of Honor, and do the right thing, even when doing the right thing may be the most difficult decision you will ever make.”

Of the new troopers, one was added to Troop N Hazleton, four were added to Troop N Lehighton and four to Troop N Stroudsburg, reporting to their new work on September 6. None were added at Fern Ridge in Blakeslee.

Heffley introduces bill on tougher fentanyl punishment

As overdose deaths continue to skyrocket, with no relief on the horizon, Rep. Doyle Heffley introduced legislation that would create stiffer criminal penalties for any defendant who knowingly or intentionally manufactures or sells fentanyl or fentanyl-laced drugs.

“Thousands of individuals, including children, have tragically lost their lives to this indiscriminate drug,” Heffley said. “This drug poses a significant risk to our communities, and I believe that this legislation is necessary to not only combat the sale and production of fentanyl on our streets, but to also save the lives of those individuals in the throes of addiction and recovery.”

With full knowledge of the very real and demonstrable risks posed by the drug, many drug dealers will nevertheless mix fentanyl with other street drugs, including cocaine, heroin, crystal meth, Oxycodone and Xanax, to increase

potency, thereby promoting addiction and the demand for the drug. Alarmingly, drug users will often be ignorant of the fact that the drug they are about to ingest contains a lethal dosage of fentanyl.

The legislation would create stiffer criminal penalties for any defendant who knowingly or intentionally manufactures or sells fentanyl or fentanyllaced drugs. Specifically, the bill provides that any individual convicted of manufacturing or selling fentanyl shall be subject to a sentence of imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of up to $500,000. Under current law, individuals convicted of selling or manufacturing fentanyl are subject to a possible sentence of 15 years’ incarceration and a fine of up to $250,000.

Last year, there were a reported 5,438 overdose deaths in this Commonwealth – a 6% increase from the prior year. This increase in fatalities can be largely attributed to the rise of the illegal sale and usage of fentanyl, an opiatebased drug that is 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin. The consumption of a mere 2 milligrams of the powerful drug can prove fatal to a person. Significantly, fentanyl is not only deadly to those who knowingly ingest it as evidenced by the fact that many first responders have suffered overdoses after inadvertently being exposed to the drug.

House Bill 2820 is expected to be referred to the House Judiciary Committee for review.

PFTVFC#1 plans Fire Prevention Day Open House

The PFTVFC1 will hold an open house on Saturday, October 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at their station which is located at 1387 Route 903 in Penn Forest Township. The purpose of the event is to raise public awareness of fire prevention through displays of fire equipment and live demonstrations of firefight ing techniques. The event is open to all ages and will include free refreshments, a variety of educational hand outs and several drawings throughout the day.

Some of the demonstra tions planned for the day include water tanker opera tions, vehicle rescue tech niques and self-contained breathing apparatus oper ations. Attendees will be

able to participate in the hands-on use of fire extin guishers and the operation of hoses against a simulat ed fire. Younger guests will be able to tour the Compa ny’s fire apparatus and the equipment carried on board.

During the day there will be presentations on search and rescue which will show chil dren and adults how to avoid becoming lost while in the outdoors and how to make yourself more easily found if you do become lost.

There are entertainment activities planned for the younger folks and of course, free refreshments for all. What kind of refreshments? Hot dogs, soft drinks, ice cream, root beer floats and chips. There will be drawings held for household fire extin guishers and other items.

PFTVFC1 is an all-vol unteer organization and is always looking for qualified folks to volunteer for roles as firefighters, fire police, support personnel and junior firefighters. Junior firefight ers are taken from ages 16 through 18 and are allowed to participate in training ses sions, classes and drills.
