Penn Forest OKs budget, and new STR rules

by Seth Isenberg

The 2023 Penn Forest Township general fund budget adopted on December 5 balances $2,207,183 in revenue with expenses. The sanitation budget has $533,700 in estimated revenue, and $489,800 in expenses. The liquid fuels (roads) budget is $272,319 in revenue and expenditures. Supervisors voted to approve these unanimously.

Let it snow, says Penn-Kidder Library

by Lori R. Cooper

Penn-Kidder Library in Albrightsville had a snow globe making on December 21. Assistant librarian Laura Uliana came up with the idea for children.

Prior to making snow globes, the children filled out Christmas cards for veterans at Valor House. They drew pictures inside their cards and included their own greetings. Eight year old Sebastian Hernandez drew pictures and wrote “Thank you for what you did” inside his card. The library had Christmas cards available for patrons to fill out as well.

Renea Watson, who hadn’t visited the library since it moved over a year

ago, brought her 9-year-old daughter, Gianna, who was happy to fill out a card “to wish the veterans a Merry Christmas.” She was really excited to make her own snow globe and loves arts and crafts.

With the help of library staff the children glued their choice of trucks, Santas

Former supervisor Judy Knappenberger called in to the meeting to object to the budget lowering the township donation to the Lehighton Ambulance to $15,000, from $50,000. There was discussion, but no action taken.

Supervisors were unanimous in approving an amended ordinance to regulate Short-Term Rentals, setting in place a rule that counts each person over the age of 2 years old, and also creating a violation ticket for the new code enforcement officer to use. Supervisors later in the meeting, explained to a citizen’s question that the Code Enforcement officer ha started to inspect all of the STRs, at a rate of about 10 each week. Every STR in the township will be inspected. Regarding having the code enforcement officer wor

on weekends, supervisor Christian Bartulovich noted that there was only one weekend complaint about STRs in the past three weeks. Pat Dusablon pointed out that the problem with STRs is “the party houses.” Dusablon, who lives in Towamensing Trails (TT), engaged in a discussion about the TT Association’s security responding to an STR issue. He was told that “an official security offi report would be valuable” to provide to the township.

A discussion of the steps needed to be taken for the township to have police coverage had supervisor Bartulovich explaining that the state policing study done for the township suggested coverage would require seven officers, and as man as four vehicles. Supervisors’ chairman Roger Meckes said that calls will be made to the neighboring townships with existing police to see what interest they have in cooperation with Penn Forest. Sharing a department would be the least costly way to proceed. Supervisor Pat Holland said he is against having the police. He was the sole NO vote when supervisors were asked to add the topic to the agenda.

discussion on gaining police, explaining that the PA State Police do not respond to smaller crimes, just to “real emergencies. “

A letter from a resident who asked to pay the $150 trash permit invoice over a few months led to a discussion about allowing credit cards to be accepted, and about allowing payment plans.

There was a written complaint about bicyclists “running rampant” on the trail at the township park.

Todd Fox of the Park and Recreation Committee explained that there is extra heavy bike traffic on the trail now that the pump track is open. Right now the idea is to put up signs directing bike riders to “keep right” and yield to pedestrians. Discussion led to an idea of a new path direct to the pump track. It was decided to run that idea by the township engineers to learn about cost.

Supervisor Roger Meckes, as roadmaster, reported the township crews were out twice for winter storms. One of those times, the plowing contractor was called in to help.

In other business, supervisors rejected a letter of interest from a builder of wireless communications towers who wanted to see if the township would allow one at the Penn Forest Park.

A 23-year-old installation and maintenance agreement for a never-built small sewage plant for 232 Stony Mountain Road was terminated on a 4-1 vote, Holland opposed.

William Callen was hired as a part-time, seasonal snow plow truck operator at

$17.13 an hour, as needed. Towamensing Trails and Indian Mountain Lakes were exempted from paying the township’s garbage permit fees, as those associations have their own garbage arrangement.

Bills of $355,617 were paid for November.

Payment #1 for Dutchman Contracting’s work on the salt shed was $203,536 of that. Shiffer Bituminous was paid $16,350 for their work on Forest Street.

PIRMS received $19,929 to pay for various township insurances. Barry Isett & Associates’ work on engineering and codes totaled over $28,000 from multiple invoices. OpenGov Inc. was paid $13,641 for software services. The township paid $10,640 for bonding Laura Matz. The

IRS was paid $8,588 in two payments. The Nanovic Law Firm invoice for October was $7,757. The Dimmick and Penn-Kidder Libraries received $5,000 each.

The Septic Fund paid out $12,163 to Hanover Engineering. The Sanitation Fund paid out $31,689 in payroll, garbage bill printing, engineering work and a payment to hauler J. P. Mascaro.

Four quotes were received from garage door companies for the doors at the Transfer Station, but there were variations as to the specs. This was discussed, and eventually tabled to get everyone quoting on the same thing so a decision can be made.

It was agreed to pay Dirt Sculpt $74,907 for the

balance of their work on the pump track at the park. The amount was reduced from the original $85,000 due to the township supplying some materials (versus Dirt Sculpt buying them).

Dutchman Contracting, who is erecting the township’s new salt shed, was approved to receive their second payment of $182,653. LED lighting and new outlets will be installed in and around the new salt shed, and also into the old salt shed, at a cost of $10,566 for the old shed work, and $5,995 for the new. WB Electric was selected as the contractor.

The National Lands Trust of Media, PA, has offered

to do a no-cost review of the township’s land use regulations. Supervisor Christian Bartulovich will contact them.

PennDOT sent a letter to the township about their plan to replace the bridge on Route 903 over Mud Run (just south of the Kidder Township line) in 2026. One lane of traffic would flow with occasional night closures and detours, The project is estimated to take two years to complete.

Supervisors will hold their reorganization meeting for 2023 at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, January 3, followed by the regular monthly meeting.

Snowglobes

snow globes. Water, glitter and glycerin were added to make it snow inside the globe.

Gabriel Hernandez, age 10, even named his snow globe. “I call it ‘driving home in snow’.”

The library is happy to have events again, including ornament painting, sewing projects and a service dog meet and greet for the children. A classic book club is held for adults. Check out Penn Kidder Library’s Facebook page for further upcoming events.

The library is located at 2588 Route 903, Albrightsville

No new taxes in Kidder’s 2023 budget

by Seth Isenberg

At Kidder Township’s November supervisor’s meeting on the 22nd, supervisors had “a light month,” chairman Ray Gluck remarked. Supervisors granted conditional approval for the final subdivision plan for the Mountain Laurel Resort, and Blue Ridge Real Estate was granted a two-year extension on their Lakeshore Development on Boulder Lake’s final plan review.

The 2023 budget was approved to be advertised for adoption at the December meeting. Manager Suzanne Brooks reported that the budget is available for inspection at the township building. 2023’s general fund budget totals $2,293,747

with no tax increase.

The transfer of a liquor license from the Mountain Laurel Golf Club in East Side Borough to Madira Holdings (High Elevations property) in Kidder Township was approved after a hearing just before the meeting started. Supervisor Louis Pantages abstained, since he has three liquor licenses. The new owners were wished the best of luck.

Karen Rushatz of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Albrightsville presented checks of $250 each to Albrightsville Volunteer Fire Company, Lake Harmony Volunteer Fire Company, and the Lake Harmony Rescue Squad. The donations were generated at a highly successful bake sale and yard sale held by the

church October 8. Eligible township retirees will receive a 7.7% cost of living increase. Supervisor

Bruce Berger abstained from that vote, as he is one of the retirees.

Seth’s Sightings

Winter has arrived both by snowstorm and officially o December 21. The calendar is all well and good, but my snow shovel truly is the tell. So far, it’s been a little here and there with some ice. This last storm though left about a two-inch-thick flow of ice on one end of our sidewalk that stayed through the warm temperatures that led up to New Year’s weekend. My ice melt barely dented the thing, but temperatures approaching 50 made that section of sidewalk re-appear.

Ruth and I enjoyed a couple of Christmas parties hereabouts with one more on the schedule in January (we know, but for the group it works). We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Christmas.

For that matter also best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year.

Me? Cancer numbers are down and I’ve been given a physical therapy prescription to get me ready for my second major surgery to get mid-January to remove as much of the cancer as can be gotten. The rare cancer I carry spreads cells all around the sac where the organs like the liver, kidneys and spleen are. The cells ooze. It makes for a big tummy, and weight gain. Since I am a big guy, it looks like I’m chubby which is better than looking sick. This cancer is curable, so I’m in for round two, complete with a hospital stay at the Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). So Philadelphia here I come. (I promise to write.)

I also plan to watch lots of sports.

The Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins home games have been fun. Our team is good and plays entertaining hockey. If the big Penguins leave the locals to develop, and not call up our talent, we should be able to compete in a tough division. Next up, January 4 and 6, will be the team from Charlotte here’s to some fun versus the Checkers.

In College hockey, both Penn State men’s and women’s team playing well. I am also following Union College’s teams, where the women’s team has started to shine. The Pittsburgh Penguins are playing very well a highlight reel every game.

As for other sports, we keep tabs on Penn State football, and plan to be near a TV for the Rose Bowl game on January 2. Ruth also wants us to watch some of the Rose Parade. NFL football has us cheering the Eagles. This year’s Patriots team is a dud, and so too the Buccaneers.

Since last I wrote, the Incarnate Word University 1-AA football team went down to defeat in the Fargodome versus another of the great North Dakota State teams, in the semifinals. Here’s to a great season and to next year Go Word! The 1-AA championship game is in Frisco, Texas (glad it’s not

by Seth Isenberg

in the Dakotas), at 2 p.m. on January 8 and on ABC TV.

I’m also now following the UConn Lady Huskies basketball team. This week, GOAT basketball coach Geno Auriemma caught sick, and left the reins to his other head coach, Chris Dailey (who should go into the Hall of Fame with Geno when the time comes).

We did get out to Heckman Orchard on their last day of the season to buy some of the last of their cider. Then continued through Brodheadsville to Gould’s Orchard, just east of town where we bought Stayman apples, and some produce. Gould’s will be open weekends starting after the new year.

As my physical therapy makes me stronger, we plan to return to dog walks through the woods. Bull, our German Shorthair Pointer (named after the character from “Night Court”), has a new winter coat that helps keep him warm. He is older, and gets cold quickly, but he’s aways good for some playing. The only thing that really slowed him were the single digit temperatures we encountered around before Christmas…out, then his business and right back to the door to be let in.

On the day when the temperatures dropped from the high 40s to single digits, Ruth’s Toyota doors

and locks froze. She called me for help: “I can’t get the doors open. I can’t even get the key in the lock.” As a New England native, I remembered that the answer to this problem is alcohol. I do admit that starting with nice strong drink wouldn’t be a bad way to go, but that’s not what I mean. What I mean is to take something like rubbing alcohol from the bathroom and to pour it on the lock and around the door frame. Ruth chose something wintergreen scented. Unfreezing the lock was quick, and the door released after a couple of yanks. And more about dogs…a story was shared with us about someone who was walking their dog this past week. The dog had taken an interest in some of the flat inflatables on a yard that was along their walk. Suddenly, the inflatables began to inflate. The dog freaked, literally peeing itself as it fled to safety behind its master, who was laughing hard. He

ended up having to carry the dog home.

It’s nice to see gasoline prices dropping. Dropping faster would be better, especially for diesel and heating oil. My brother, who lives near South Carolina, sent me a photo with prices in the mid-$2s for gas.

During the cold snap, we sighted an ice fishing hut on a local pond. I remember seeing a lot of them each winter on the lakes near home nice memories.

Other sightings hereabouts include a lot of birds they come to eat the seeds and berries in our yard. We also have lots of deer encounters including a few close calls with the car. There have been more fox, and some turkey. Once we start walking in the woods, we’ll start looking for tracks in the snow.

The only other sighting of note was of one of the ‘feral’ cats who wander out neighborhood, who was sitting on our sidewalk in

Sightings

front of our house as if ‘he’ owned the place. Our dogs thought differently.

The PA Farm Show is coming up the week after New Year’s at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. We’ll take the under twohour drive to attend on January 7 starting earlyafternoon for some opening day fun including the PA Youth Rodeo. It’s a primary high school rodeo with everything from roping to barrel racing, a rodeo clown, and…bull riding. There’s a fee for parking, but admission to the Farm Show itself, and the Youth Rodeo, is free.

To all our readers, a happy and healthy New Year.

Out in the Open Hunting winds down …It’s Show Time!

Alex Zidock

Cold, snow, unusually warm and then cold weather again is what is happening as the last of the major deer hunting seasons wind down. The traditional flintlock rifl season began on December 26 and for most of the state runs until January 16. The late archery deer season also runs until January 16 for most of the state. Check your hunting digest because there are different open close dates in the variety of Wildlife Management Units (WMU), and special licenses are required.

Hunting activities continues for small game, ducks and geese and the trapping season for furbearers runs

into January, and some trapping seasons even later as the beaver season runs until March 30.

The late flintlock season is very special to many of us who enjoy hunting with muzzleloading rifles that use flint as the ignition system. Cap-lock and in-line rifles, although muzzleloaders, are not allowed in this special season. Also the mandatory use of Fluorescent orange for most of Pennsylvania’s hunting activities is waived during the traditional flinlock season and after Christmas archery season. Get more information posted in the Hunting/Trapping Digest that came with your general hunting license.

Efforts underway to save Camp Trexler

by Lori R. Cooper

Camp Trexler, west of Effort near Jonas, has been used as a Boy Scouts camp for 94 years.

Nearly 100 years ago, businessman and outdoorsman Harry Trexler donated 755 acres of springs, wetlands, wildlife and woodlands in Polk Township to be a wilderness camp run by the Boy Scouts. The story told to explain the gift is that businessman Trexler was given a seat on a train by a Boy Scout and therefore wanted to help support the scouting program.

The 755-acre property on Jonas Road may be put up for sale. Camp Trexler could sell for up to $4.5 million,

and proceeds would be used in part to pay obligations of $2.6 million to Boy Scouts

of America for the Victims of Abuse Fund, with the expected contingency that the property still operate as a Boy Scout camp in 2023. Fifteen entities have expressed interest in purchasing the property.

The Boy Scouts of America filed for bankruptcy in 2019 as a result of judgments against in for sexual abuse against scouts. If the bankruptcy is approved, the property could then be sold.

Pocono Heritage Land Trust is in the process of trying to establish partnerships to acquire the property in order to conserve it permanently and keep it open to the public. The organization has focused on protecting land since 1984. The nonprofit is dedicated to protecting the natural and cultural heritage of the Pocono region by conserving land and inspiring people to care for, enjoy and explore

Camp Trexler

their natural world.

Camp Trexler adjoins more than 4,000 acres that PHLT has already protected.

Louise Troutman, executive director of PHLT, whose son attended the camp and is an Eagle

Scout, said, “Camp Trexler is one of the largest remaining parcels of land in Polk Township that has the ability to provide habitat for many animals and has sand springs.” If PHLT were to purchase the land it would be a process of several years. The plan would be to find a partner affiliated with the Minsi Council in order for

it to remain a Boy Scout camp and part of a nature preserve.

Linda Snyder owns 128 acres of land that abuts the property, and she is a board member of PHLT. Part of her land is orchards of apples, peaches and pears. In the past the fruit and homemade apple cider were sold but currently she donates to food banks, as

selling hasn’t been fruitful. In 2022, 90 acres of Snyder’s land were approved for preservation after making applications for eight years. “Every piece of open space everywhere we are losing. It is precious and should be preserved,” said Snyder. She has gone door-to-door with several helpers to get signatures

on a petition to preserve the property and has 1,000 signatures so far. The petition notes: ”Camp Trexler is one of the few remaining properties in our area large enough to provide habitat for plants and animals that need a large, unbroken forest.“

The express goal is to prevent this property from being sold to a developer, used as a transfer station or clear cut.

The Boy Scouts Minsi Trails Council runs Camp Trexler and Camp Minsi in Pocono Summit. It is an independent 501-3c charitable foundation, apart from the national Boy Scouts of America. According to Minsi Trails director Richard Christ, ”We are a local chapter of the Boy Scouts of America national council. We provide scouting programs and services to over 4,000 families in Lehigh, Northampton, Monroe and parts of Carbon and Luzerne Counties along with Warren County, NJ.” Without the council’s involvement, the Boy Scouts of America cannot run a camp.

Franco Harris was much more than a football star

by Frank Fear

I never cheered for Franco Harris as a football player. He played for Penn State (I’m a WVU Mountaineer) and the Steelers (I was a Bills fan back then), but I cheered for him as a person, community volunteer/ activist, and philanthropist. I applauded him when he spoke out, took a stand, and became an activist when his beloved Penn State, Joe Paterno, and victims went through the churn and pain associated with Jerry Sandusky’s sexual assaults.

Franco Harris was understated, acting like the guy who lives down the street. Indeed, I know people who live “just down the street,” and that’s what they said about Franco Harris. Harris wasn’t born in Pittsburgh but lived there following his days with the Steelers. He became woven into the city’s fabric and, in many ways, symbolized it.

It’s hard to imagine Franco’s personality fitting into today’s game, characterized as it is by exclamations of “Look at me!’ and all the bravado that goes with it. “Coach Prime” Dion Sanders does, but Franco Harris doesn’t. Harris would have had good reason to be boisterous, though, a history-maker as he was, with the “Immaculate Reception” and four Super Bowl rings.

But Franco Harris didn’t specialize in bombast. He let his athletic performance do the talking. Many fans remember Harris from his days with the Steelers and all he accomplished there. Franco was Offensive Rookie of the Year, a nine-time Pro Bowler, a member of the 1970’s All-NFL team, and churned out over 14,000 yards over his career. Yet, the Steelers took a bit of a risk when they drafted Harris in the first round of the 1972 NFL Draft with the #13 pick overall. I say that because Franco Harris had a relatively modest offensive career at Penn State, and (truth be told) he was not the star of the show.

Much like the role Jim Braxton played for the Buffalo Bills and with O.J. Simpson, Franco Harris was asked to block at Penn

State (in his case, for Lydell Mitchell), run a bit, and pass-catch. Franco Harris never rushed for more than seven hundred yards a season and averaged eight rushing touchdowns in his three years with the Nittany Lions. He caught only twenty-eight career passes (117-yard season average) and scored only one touchdown through the air during his college years.

On the other hand, Mitchell was a 3,000-yard collegiate rusher at State College, and Charlie Pittman (the third running back in PSU’s stellar backfield and the one I most feared) gained nearly 2,500 career yards.

But Penn State and the Steelers had this in common: they had great teams with many great players and terrific coaches and didn’t need a do-it-all player. Franco Harris learned

how to fit in, contribute, and win; moreover, he did what was asked of him and excelled at assigned tasks. He was consistent, too. In Pittsburgh, he gained 1,055 rushing yards as a rookie (1972) and 1,007 rushing yards in 1983, his final year with the team.

Yes, that was Franco Harris, the football player. He was a great one, too. But there’s much more to his life story and the legacy he leaves. We lose more than a

football star when somebody like Franco Harris passes away. We lose an essential piece of what sports mean in society and who best represents the goodness associated with sports. In that regard, Franco Harris resides in the category of alltime great.
