Torres fills vacant Kidder Supervisor seat

by Seth Isenberg

Penn Forest Township Park’s new Pump Track is taking shape by the walking trail in a wooded glade at the southern edge of the Park. Here, site designer Dave King, owner of Dirt Sculpts (Lehighton), shows one of the features of the large Track that features many curves, rolls and bumps. The work is nearly ready to be paved. The inset shows some of the details of the track.

At their regular monthly meeting on September 27, Kidder Township supervisors put off a vote to fill the vacant supervisor’s seat for a couple of weeks, setting a special meeting on October 11. Five township residents had been interviewed, Ralph Lennon, Karen Barni, Jeffrey Lutz, Kenneth Pliska and Noel Torres. With such an impressive list, supervisors tabled the decision to the 11th and then made short work of the night’s business.

Approved were the Thornton reverse subdivision with its maintenance agreement for Polansky Lane, the Cypress Creek Renewables solar farm condition use, and Figura’s lot line revision.

The Lake Harmony Rescue Squad’s request for $20,445 from the ambulance equipment fund to pay for four

new radios was approved.

Albrightsville Volunteer Fire Company was approved to apply for an LSA Gaming Grant. Supervisors accepted the amendment to the local tax collection law to implement Act 57 which allows officials to waive tax penalties under certain conditions.

Patrolman Christopher Ritter was welcomed as a full-time officer effective Sept. 6 when he completed his probationary period.

Signal Services, who maintain the township’s traffic signals, was renewed for a two-year contract.

Two properties in Golden Oaks and two more in Holiday Poconos were bought off tax claims and returned to the tax rolls.

In reports, roadmaster Bruce Berger reported that the paving of North Lake Drive is complete, and that a See KIDDER, page 2

Vote yes for green open space

Kidder Township supervisor Louis Pantages pulls up a chair for newly appointed supervisor Noel Torres.

LN: Seth Isenberg

Kidder

Continued from page 1 tree trimming contractor has stepped up to offer hourly services. For the past two years, the township had no bidders for a contract to trim trees along the township roads. This company has offered to begin that long-delayed work.

In public participation, a citizen reported that the problem property on Laurel Lane is ‘starting to comply’ with efforts clean up the property and stop visitors to it from harassing the neighbors. Citizen Jim Lachette complained about speeding and stop sign violations in Tannery, and at the I-80 ramps. He also wants police to enforce the No Parking area by Wawa.

At the special meeting on October 11, supervisors voted unanimously to name Noel Torres to fill the vacant seat on the board of supervisors.

Torres, who serves on the planning commission, is also the township Vacancy Board chairman, a township

code enforcement officer, and volunteers for the Lake Harmony Fire Company and the Lake Harmony Rescue Squad. He is a New York City police force retiree.

A reorganization of supervisors followed, with Torres’ first vote to join unanimously with Bruce Berger, Louis Pantages, and Wilson Klotzman in electing Ray Gluck as chairman. Gluck has served as supervisor many times, but this is his first time as chairman.

Klotzman was voted in as vice chairman and chair of the police committee, again unanimously.

Torres’ appointment creates a vacancy of the Vacancy Board chairman. There is also a vacancy in the Zoning Hearing Board as realtor Jason Seitz stepped down. He has sold his home and moved out of the township.

Letters of interest are being accepted to fill these positions.

An electronics recycling event was held on October 15.

The farmland and natural resources preservation referendum on the ballot in Carbon County this election will have a direct impact on Penn Forest and Kidder Townships.

The Getz Farm in Kidder Township is already in the program.

Fifteen farms are now on the list seeking to be preserved. First on the list is the Bond Farm on Route 903 in Penn Forest Township; the commission would need $1 million to purchase the development rights for that one alone. Funding is 85% from the state, and 15% from the county.

The program started in 1991, and the county commissioners have not increased funding since that time. The information being published about the measure saying it could result in a $22 per year increase in county taxes is somewhat misleading.

It would be up to the county commissioners to secure bonds to fund the initiative, which would allow an appointed commission to purchase development rights on properties.

They most likely would not pursue the full bond issue the first year. Instead of floating all $10 million at one time, they could choose to borrow $1 million first year, and more in subsequent years, making the annual cost to taxpayers under $5 to start.

Properties enrolled in the program will be preserved in perpetuity as open space. People concerned about warehouses and congestion are urged to vote yes. Do you want to see houses, or do you want to see farmland?

Penn Forest supervisors make code enforcement full-time position

by Seth Isenberg Penn Forest Township supervisors voted at their October meeting to make the new code enforcement officer position a full-time one. This requires the job to be readvertised. A question from the audience was whether the position will include weekend hours to deal with Short Term Rentals (STRs).

Prior to the meeting start, there was an executive session regarding employees. A clue on the discussion was an item on the agenda regarding a grievance about “the working foreman interviews.” Supervisors voted unanimously to deny the grievance. Members of the union, who attended the meeting, responded, saying

ACCESSIBLE – Quality, walk-in care for minor illness and injuries CONVENIENT – No appointment needed, extended and weekend hours QUALITY CLINICIANS – St. Luke’s providers always onsite to manage your medical needs LOWER EXPENSE – Lower out-of-pocket than an ER visit PLUS, AVAILABLE ON SITE… • Lab and X-ray services • Common prescription medications • Comprehensive Occupational Medicine services available for local employers

Locations: Allentown • Bethlehem Jim Thorpe • Upper Perkiomen • Wind Gap For hours, directions and a full list of services, visit stlukesCareNow.org or call 1-866-STLUKES (785-8537).

that they will arbitrate this decision.

Chairman Roger Meckes added that there is another grievance.

In other personnel matters, all the township roads and transfer station crew will be sent to a workshop on Equipment and Worker Safety, hosted by Tamaqua borough on Oct. 25.

Ads will also go out seeking part-time snow plow drivers for the coming winter season. Meckes, as roadmaster, reported that the township crew is finishing up grass cutting, and getting equipment ready for winter. The salt shed is now under construction at the Transfer Station.

Regarding snow plowing, Meckes has reached out to Towamensing Township about winter maintenance of Forest Street in the southeast corner of Penn Forest.

Their crew already plows the part of Forest Street in their township. There’s about a mile of the street to be covered. In previous years, a contractor did this work, but that contractor has retired. An offer of an hourly rate plus paying for materials used will be sent to Towamensing Township supervisors.

For plowing of the rest of the township, bids were

opened for the contract to supply as-needed plowing and materials spreading trucks. Of two bidders, last year’s contractor Shiffer Bituminous offered to supply one truck. Haines & Kibblehouse gave prices on two trucks. The bid required two trucks, so H&K was awarded the contract, with the one-ton costing $182 an hour and the eight-ton at $198 an hour, plus materials at cost.

The new full-time position for a code enforcement officer (CEO) will be paid at $22 an hour. A budget for uniforms was approved.

Discussion then went to making sure the CEO has access to a computer with large memory for the kinds of files (photos, videos…) that will be involved.

The township will no longer accept anonymous complaints. E-mail addresses and attestation is “strongly suggested.”

Regarding the office, two printer/copiers will be added, bought from Underdog Computing at a cost of $1,323. They will be connected to the systems by Underdog.

Due to higher hauling costs and tipping fees for garbage, the Sanitation Fund is down to $29,152, so supervisors voted to transfer $100,000 from the General Fund to

cover expenses to year’s end.

It was agreed to have the township crew install concrete pads under the new benches at the park. It was agreed to buy 25 bags of concrete and four Sono tubes at a cost of up to $500.

Supervisor Scott Lignore will donate the use of his auger to make the holes for the tubes.

The benches had a price increase prior to delivery, to $620 each for the ten, and shipping cost $367.

The park will also get some additional security cameras, bought from Control Security for $1,140 on a 4-0-1 vote, Jim Denier abstaining.

An alarm system for the park’s building, along with equipment to remotely lock and unlock the doors on the park bathrooms (on a timer) was also approved for $4,234 plus $37 a month for monitoring. The vote was again 4-1, Denier abstaining.

Meckes thanked the park volunteers for a fine Festival.

Supervisors look forward to next year’s event.

The township gave a $150 donation to the Lake Harmony Rescue Squad, who brought their ambulance to the Festival and staffed a display.

July 8, 2023 was set for an event with fireworks at the park. Discussion started when the Park & Recreation See PENN FOREST, page 4

Seth’s Sightings

It’s leaf raking time. It was fun to see the foliage show, but it is time to get to work.

Lucky for me that where I live locals rake leaves to the curb and they get vacuumed away.

The young maple trees to the rear of our property are turning late, as usual.

We will enjoy fall foliage from them into November, because the two trees have some sort of warmer place.

I suspect it’s because of the asphalt; they are at the corner of the road and the alley, so the asphalt warms up sooner in the day and stays warm later. It also means a separate bit of raking in about two weeks.

Our primary sightings these few weeks have been of colorful leaves through the peak of our foliage season. Now what remains can be amazing, when the sun hits a stand of oak trees with their maroon/brown leaves, or sometimes there’s a lone maple tree stubbornly holding out, standing brightly among trees that have already dropped their leaves.

Some properties with ‘burning’ bushes have brilliant displays, beautiful displays of color. Our front yard’s burning bush has a vine on it, which spoils the show some. Our biggest burning bush is in the back yard and has left a pile of formerly red leaves on the ground, now fading.

On our ride to work today, we passed through a shower of falling oak leaves, and picked up a couple of leaves as passengers, tucked into our rear wiper.

Sightings also include a coyote, foxes, a flock of

wild turkey, and lots of deer — everywhere.

This past weekend, we made a run to Heckman’s Orchards in Effort to buy some fresh-picked StaymanWinesap apples. A lateseason apple, Ruth and I wait for these to be in season…which is now. We also picked up a gallon of Heckman’s fresh-pressed cider and will be back in a few weeks to restock apples, and cider.

You can never have too many apples, so next we made a stop at Snyder’s Orchard in Jonas. Mrs. Snyder had Winesaps (and lots of other varieties).

With hockey season upon us, we’re filling some of our free time cheering on the local Penguins. The team is playing well so far, and there’s great promise for the season. We’ve been in the Mohegan Sun Arena — now the Mohegan Arena — for some fun games. Scores were close for the early games, so the play was scrappy.

month. We had a roaringly good time, seeing all or parts of about eight shows before tuckering out mid-afternoon.

The Faire ends October 29 & 30 (likely sold out), until next August.

Also of note was a visit to the Pine Ridge Festival in Albrightsville on a cold night, a trip to the Covered Bridge Festival in Bloomsburg that ended with a Cajun dinner, and some fun ahead of Halloween attending pet costume contests hereabouts with our two dogs.

Election day is November 8, and we hereabouts are being buried in ads — many featuring outright lies about their opponents. Oddly, we get a lot of ads about the next congressional district’s race, especially when we use the internet — again mainly attack ads and lies about people we cannot vote for.

Pine Ridge Festival brings party outdoors in Penn Forest Twp.

by Lori R. Cooper On a brisk fall day, concert goers were wrapped in blankets enjoying the bands, surrounded by colorful leaves at the second annual 3-day Pine Ridge Festival, held October 7-9 on the Pine Ridge property on Route 534. Camping, both tent and RV, was available for the event filled with music, art, food and vendors.

The festival came to fruition when Kenny Hatt, a member of The Bandana Brothers, was talking to Johnathan Boyles, owner of Pine Ridge Services and former owner of the Hickory Run Tavern. After the Bandana Brothers performed at a party at Boyles property, they came up with the idea of a festival for the community and Hatt began Sound Cloud Production Company.

Site staff helped out by trading their time for admission to the festival.

Over 30 musical acts played, including local acts the Bandana Brothers and Mums The Word, a ‘psychedelic, jam, rock funk’ eight man band and Grammy winner Billy Strings playing

Police Beat

PA State Police Fern Ridge was called to the Dollar General on Route 903 in Albrightsville due to a patron in the store who had started to damage merchandise on the shelves. The person was detained by PSP and taken to the hospital for a mental health evaluation, 10-7.

10-20 just before 6 p.m., Pocono Mountain Regional Police was dispatched to a Cedar Drive, Emerald Lakes, Long Pond home due to a domestic dispute. The female victim reported that Mack Antonoff came after her with a knife. The victim sustained minor injuries and was able to get out of the home.

Prior to leaving, Antonoff told the victim that he would ambush police with a sniper rifle. Antonoff then exited the home with a firearm.

During this time, a neighbor called and related that Antonoff was lying prone in the woods with something in his hands. At this point, PMRPD SWAT was activated and shut down nearby roads.

PMRPD learned that an elderly female was still in the residence. Antonoff was then observed going back inside.

At one point, Antonoff came out onto the porch of the home and fired multiple volleys from a handgun.

PMRPD negotiators contacted the elderly female and instructed her to go to the front door where members of the SWAT Team were able to extract her from the home.

PMRPD then requested Antonoff to exit the home — he was unresponsive.

After several hours, Police SWAT and K9 made entry into the home and took Antonoff into custody,

finding Antonoff suffering from a self-inflicted injury.

A medical helicopter was called in and he was flown to a trauma center. Antonoff has been charged with the aggravated assault, attempted homicide, and reckless endangerment.

by Seth Isenberg he had failed to appear at the local PSP barracks to provide a secondary DNA sample, and that a warrant had been issued. After pressing the caller for more information, the man hung up and contacted PSP-F. PSP records this incident as “impersonating a public servant” and is investigating.

10-10, 9:09 a.m. PSP responded to a report that two dogs were loose and attacked a 40 y/o man on his Parker Trail, Towamensing Trails property. PSP cited the owner of the dogs. The owner will be summoned to appear before the District Judge in Jim Thorpe.

10-5, a car got stuck on the lawn of a Rinker Road, Jackson Twp. home. Getting the vehicle out damaged the lawn, a septic pipe and the property’s mailbox. PSP is looking for information/any

witnesses and is asking for a call to them at 570 646-2271.

9-28, PSP-F was called to a death at an Effort Mountain home. It was determined the man died by suicide.

There was mailbox vandalism in Sierra View south, Effort Mountain area, on three mailboxes — 10-17.

PSP asks for information or witnesses — call 570 6462271.

PSP-F is investigating a possible child abuse incident. An investigation is also underway of a Brodheadsville-area teen
