Park manager’s off-duty service earns Governor’s Awards for Excellence
DCNR Park Manager
Justin Waid was recognized for his quick, off-duty action last summer when a swimmer went under at the lake and did not resurface.
A park manager with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) who helped to save the life of a swimmer at Tobyhanna
State Park in northeastern Pennsylvania has been recognized by Governor Josh Shapiro with a Governor’s Awards for Excellence.
DCNR Park Manager Justin Waid was honored for his actions on the evening of July 7, 2024, during a critical emergency when a swimmer went underwater at the lake and failed to resurface.
A DCNR Ranger promptly responded, pulling the victim from the water. Although off-duty, Waid arrived on the scene and without hesitation, joined the ranger and an EMT in providing critical emergency care. Together, they administered CPR, used an AED, and maintained the victim’s airway until emergency medical services arrived. Their calm,

A PLACE IN THE SUN: “The picture of this big beautiful bear was taken over the summer, after he decided to take a nap on a large boulder located behind our home in Blakeslee,” writes Bill Lundon. “My wife and I guesstimate that he was over 200 lbs. He was resting on that boulder for a good 20 minutes before he slowly moseyed away. He still comes by from time to time passing through.” If you have a great photo you’d like to share, send it to journalruth@gmail.com.

Mill St., Nesquehoning, and was immediately followed by the start of the makeover, which will involve participation from contractors, Sustainable Energy Fund staff, and a group of skilled and unskilled volunteers looking to dedicate their time to a worthy organization. The group began with efficiency updates in the building, as well as engaging in some beautification in and around the Family Promise of Carbon County’s shelter and church building.
“We feel honored to be able to give back to an organization which has given so much to the community by serving its poorest residents for decades,” says John Costlow, President and CEO of Sustainable Energy Fund. “We hope to see lots of local volunteers and contractors coming out in support of Family Promise.”

About Family Promise of Carbon County
Family Promise of Carbon County, founded in 2009, is a public charity whose mission is to help families experiencing homelessness and lowincome families achieve sustainable independence by providing temporary shelter, meals, and support services in order to meet the basic needs of families without permanent housing in Carbon County and the surrounding communities. Their vision is a strong, engaged, inclusive, and equitable community where every family has a home, a livelihood, and the opportunity to build a better future.
“Though newly appointed — just six weeks prior — Justin demonstrated extraordinary leadership and composure in a chaotic, high-pressure situation,” said DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn. “His willingness to step up while off duty, combined with his expert response, went far beyond the typical responsibilities of a park manager. His actions not only saved a life but also reinforced the vital role of state park personnel in community safety.”
Following the incident, Waid worked tirelessly to
“This incident is just one example of the many challenges and emergency situations that state park staff are faced with every day,” Dunn said. “Courage, skill, and commitment are some of many attributes that Justin exemplifies making him dedicated to ensuring the safety and enjoyment of all visitors.”
Pennsylvania’s 124 state parks and 2.2 million acres of forestland are open year-round with free entry — making them an affordable, accessible Great American Getaway for residents and visitors alike. State park managers are responsible for the overall administration, operation, maintenance, and recreation within a state park. This includes overseeing park
facilities, visitor services, environmental programs, and public safety. They also manage park staff, develop operational plans, and ensure compliance with park rules and regulations.
Tobyhanna State Park is in scenic Monroe and Wayne counties. The 5,440acre park includes the 170-acre Tobyhanna Lake. Visit DCNR’s website for more information about state parks, events, and outdoor recreation opportunities.
The Governor’s Awards for Excellence recognize individuals and groups of state employees for exemplary job performance or service that reflects initiative, leadership, innovation, and increased efficiency. Waid is one of 99 employees from nine agencies who were honored at a ceremony this year by Governor Shapiro for exceptional accomplishments in 2024.

Water at Risk
Protecting the Heartland of Woods and Water
by Carol Hillestad for Brodhead Watershed Association
Human communities and natural communities hold together in different ways. For people, community is created by family, friends, schools and libraries, places of worship, local stores and car clubs, garden clubs, historical societies, job sites, and a shared love of home.
Natural communities are bound together by creeks and wetlands and the land they rely on. Soil, rock,
dissolved and solid nutrients, shrubs and trees, clean air, fish, bugs, and animals of every size.
The bonds are strong. But both can be scarred for decades by disaster wildfires and flooding, epidemics and crazy-hot heat, hurricanes and tornadoes and war. Forests face yet another kind of assault: timbering. Most public lands are managed for multiple purposes, from recreation and wildlife habitat to public income. Wood products

are valuable in countless ways, and timber harvesting in Pennsylvania can raise millions of dollars a year. Poorly managed timber operations have immediate, obvious impacts. Building access roads compacts the soil. So does traveling the forest in heavy equipment, lugging out the harvest. Cutting the trees opens the forest floor its own unique ecosystem to flooding and too much sun. Understory plants shrivel in the unaccustomed glare. The birds, pollinators, and mammals large and small are driven out or die.
And, oh, what happens to the wetlands and waterways. Sediment from disturbed soil suffocates sensitive creek creatures. Water heats up under the newly opened sky, stressing or killing coldwater-loving aquatic life. Intense nutrient loads can contaminate drinking water sources and feed choking blooms of algae that siphon off oxygen, create toxins, clog fish gills, upend nature’s balance, and, well, you get the picture.
All earth disturbance in Pennsylvania requires an “Erosion and Sedimentation Plan” before work begins, to keep soil from running off the land into nearby streams. But few municipalities require that E&S plans be reviewed by a competent agency, such as the County Conservation District, or even have ordinances that give the municipality authority to enforce proper controls. And thanks to lobbyists, municipalities are severely restricted as to what ordinances can stipulate such as requiring that forests be managed sustainably.
More than half of the forestland in America is owned by individuals, families and corporations. Reputable timbering companies and sensible private landowners play by the rules and often choose to go above and beyond the minimums to keep the forest healthy and sustainable.
Taking action to protect water, wildlife and forests is sometimes branded radical, or extremist, or just plain
cuckoo. It’s no such thing: as clever as we humans think we are, our very lives depend on the basics of a healthy natural community clean air, water, world. Do your part.
The public can help. If you spot discolored or muddy water flowing into a creek, or a fish kill, or something seems to be spilling into a creek that’s an environmental emergency. Call the Carbon County Conservation District at 610-377-4894 or Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection at 800-541-2050.
Basics of “sustainable forestry” include managing forests for the long term, in ways that support healthy trees, soil, wildlife and water, while also providing needed forestry products. An example of sustainable forestry is deliberately not harvesting all the best trees, leaving only the weakest.

$5 million approved by Pennvest for Pine Hill Well improvements
The Pennsylvania American Water Company was awarded $5 million in loan and grant funding for the completion of the Pine Hill Well Treatment Center construction project, according to state Rep. Maureen Madden.
This project includes the demolition of the wellhouse and construction of a new
treatment facility at the existing Pine Hill well station site, as well as disposal of process wastewater, and other related work to address per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and iron and manganese in the raw water.
The new treatment facility will include granularactivated carbon adsorbers
Aqua parent to merge with American Water
Essential Utilities, the parent company of Aqua, has agreed to merge with American Water. As a leading regulated U.S. water and wastewater utility, together with American Water, they will serve 4.7 million connections across 17 states.
A letter to customers from Aqua president Colleen Arnold states, “Together, we will continue to provide safe, clean, reliable and affordable water and wastewater services. We are committed to using our expanded set of resources to strengthen our ability to solve the challenges facing our industry and maintain the level of service you have come to expect from us. There will be no change in customer rates as a result of the merger, and American Water and Essential will be better able to maintain an average customer water bill that is affordable, supporting the economic prosperity of the more than 2,000 communities in which the combined company will operate.
“While we are excited to join forces with American Water, this announcement
for the removal of PFAS. Additionally, green sand filters are to be added to comply with secondary maximum contaminant levels associated with iron and manganese.
“The much-needed funding for this project is great news—this well water source serves over 8,000 households within
the district, which means 8,000 households that will have access to safer and healthier water with these improvements. Thanks to Pennvest for the loan and grant funding to make this possible for my constituents,” said Madden, D-Monroe.
The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment
Authority funding for the project includes both a $562,434 grant, and a $4,484,137 loan with a fixed 1% interest rate for 5 years, then increasing to 1.743% after that and will provide the grant equivalent of $2,169,492 over the life of the loan. Rates are not expected to rise as an outcome of this project.
is just the first step toward bringing our companies together. The combination is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals. Until the closing, Essential and American Water will remain separate, independent companies. We will continue serving you as usual.
“We expect this combination to be seamless for our customers. We greatly value our relationship and it is a pleasure to serve you.”

Stars and Stitches Forever theme of Quilt Challenge and Exhibition
The Monroe County Historical Association is inviting quilters of all abilities and skill levels to participate in the Stars and Stitches Forever Quilt Challenge. Following the guidelines, quilters are asked to create a piece of art that interprets their journey (or their family’s journey) of migration or immigration to America and/or the area now known as Monroe County. This challenge is part of the county-wide celebrations planned for 2026 to honor the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The challenge comes not only in interpreting the theme but also in working within specific rules. Each quilt must be
30” by 30” and include at least one star. Traditional or original patterns may be used. Fabrics, colors, and techniques are left to the quilter’s choice.
Monroe County Historical Association Executive Director Amy Leiser said, “The Stars and Stitches Forever Quilt Challenge offers artists the opportunity to create a meaningful quilt that tells their personal story through the use of fabrics, stitches, and images. Quilters will share their connection to the community, their family, and the broader American experience.”
Linda Post Bushkofsky, Monroe County Historical Association Board member and quilter, reflected on the history of quilting,
saying, “Throughout our country’s history, quilts have been made to keep people warm and to feed the soul as artistic expressions. Now it’s time to honor this momentous anniversary with quilts unique to Monroe County.”
Quilts are due by 3 p.m. on Friday, February 27, and will be accepted from February 3 through the deadline. Challenge quilts will be exhibited in the Monroe County Historical Association’s Hughes
Community Room in the new Heritage Center from April 1 through July 31.
The Monroe County Historical Association owns over 100 quilts of various patterns and sizes. Experienced quilters created some of these quilts, while others were made by firsttime sewers, all from Monroe County. As part of the Stars and Stitches Forever Quilt Challenge, a selection of quilts from this collection will be showcased in a special exhibition. The
quilts chosen for display will highlight their relevance to the challenge, focusing on patriotic themes and colors, star motifs, and a particularly notable quilt depicting the likeness of the Marquis de Lafayette. For additional information and the complete instructions, including the entry form for the Stars and Stitches Forever Quilt Challenge, visit https:// www.monroehistorical. org/250pa.html or contact the office at 570-421-7703.

Landmark Poconos Theater has new leadership
Nonprofits aim to enhance arts and cultural destination
The historic Sherman Theater in downtown Stroudsburg is entering a new chapter in its legacy as the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau (PMVB) officially assumes management responsibilities. Following nearly a year of due diligence at the request of the Sherman Theater board, the PMVB and Sherman Theater boards voted in late September to enter into a management agreement.
This strategic move marks a collaborative effort to strengthen the arts as a cornerstone of Stroudsburg’s cultural and economic identity. The Sherman Theater will continue to operate as a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization with its own board of directors, PMVB will also remain an independent nonprofit entity as a 501(c) (6). As part of the transition, the Sherman Theater board has been reconstituted, with President & CEO Rich Berkowitz and two other board members stepping down. Berkowitz will still be a presence by booking events at the facility and advising new management.
“In the short term, operations at the Sherman will remain unchanged,” said Chris Barrett, Vice President and General Manager of the Sherman Theater. “But we envision a vibrant future where the arts become a defining
product of Stroudsburg, with the Sherman Theater serving as an anchor for a dynamic destination — a true mecca for creativity and culture in the Pocono Mountains.”
Incredible work has been done by so many individuals over the years to build Stroudsburg downtown and the arts scene. The PMVB is committed to expanding that legacy. Plans are underway to develop a new arts-focused initiative that will enhance the region’s appeal and provide fresh opportunities for community engagement and tourism.
“We invite everyone to be part of this exciting journey,” Barrett added. “This is just the beginning of a broader conversation about building a thriving arts ecosystem in Stroudsburg.”

letter to the editor
Kidder Township Supervisors Must Act
Anyone driving along Route 940 can see how much our landscape has changed. Land that was once forest is now acres of pavement and nearly two million square feet of new warehouse and truck terminal space. The two big projects—Exeter 1 (1.1 million square feet) and PNK5 (739,050 square feet)—have raised important questions about how our township is
handling the effects of these large developments on stormwater.
Pennsylvania DEP Act 167 and Kidder Township’s own Ordinance 148-79 are clear: developers are supposed to set aside money so that stormwater systems can be inspected and maintained for years to come. The idea is simple—protect our streams, wells, and roads, and make sure the costs don’t fall on taxpayers.
But those deposits were not required here, and that is why so many people are concerned. Without funding set aside for ongoing maintenance as required, stormwater problems could mean local flooding, icy patches on winter roads, polluted water, and damage to our environment, leaving the community to face
costly repairs. Residents have been raising these concerns at township meetings for more than a year, yet nothing has changed. Calls to the Township Solicitor’s office have gone unanswered. Still, the message is clear: we care deeply about our community, our water, and our shared future.
By working together and urging our township supervisors to act, we can ensure that Kidder Township enforces the protections already on the books. An ordinance ignored is no ordinance at all.
Sincerely, Beth Hurley LOVE Kidder Township

Kutztown University Student-Athletes Named to 2025 PSAC Scholar-Athlete List
Kutztown University athletics recognized 237 student-athletes on the 2024-25 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference’s scholar-athlete list. The 237 Golden Bears account for 54% of the department. This year also marks the sixth year in a row that the Golden Bears have eclipsed the 200 honoree mark.
Among those honored are Leila Hurley of Jim Thorpe, and Olivia Smelas of Jim Thorpe.
In order to be eligible for PSAC Scholar-Athlete
honors, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25. The conference instituted a new policy last year, honoring athletes meeting the academic requirement in only PSAC sponsored sports. This change directly affected Kutztown’s acrobatics & tumbling and women’s bowling teams, which do not compete under the PSAC banner. Acrobatics & tumbling is part of the National Collegiate Acrobatics & Tumbling Association (NCATA) and
does not have a conference affiliation, while women’s bowling is an associate member of the East Coast Conference (ECC). Bowlers are eligible to be named to the ECC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, which is usually released in late July.
The 2024-25 PSAC Scholar-Athlete total of 3,922 (54% of the entire PSAC student-athlete population) marks the 10th consecutive year the PSAC has awarded at least 40% of its studentathlete population with “Scholar-Athlete” status.

Data center zoning proposals forwarded to Planning Commissions; public hearings in December
by Ruth Isenberg
Data centers, where to put them and how to regulate them, were main topics of discussion at both the September 15 and October 20 Tobyhanna Township Supervisors’ meetings.
In September, a public hearing was held on a proposed change to the township’s zoning ordinance.
Atty. Ralph Matergia and James Cahill of Pocono
Manor Investors presented a petition to create an overlay to allow development of a data center on a portion of their property than had previously been used as a gravel pit when Interstate 380 was constructed. It is located in the tourist development project district, but at present is an eyesore and not suitable for recreational use, they said.
“We’ve been here for 20 years,” Cahill said, and
have met concerns in the past. “We want to be good neighbors and good partners, as trusted stewards of the Pocono Manor property.”
Supervisors raised several issues. Joe Colyer and Ed Tutrone both suggested that they would prefer to make data centers an approved used in a designated zone, rather than creating an overlay. They also seemed to agree that they would prefer creating strong regulations
that all proposed data centers would have to meet, rather than approving them as conditional uses.
Ted Wolski asked whether the township could ban data centers completely. Solicitor Harry Coleman explained that the zoning ordinance could then be challenged as exclusionary. If a developer filed a validity challenge and won, the township could then lose any control over the project. Including where it could be located within the township.
Residents expressed concerns about water usage and electric rates. It was noted that those issues would be fully explored when and if land development plans were submitted to the township for a data center.
By a vote of 3-2, supervisors sent the proposed ordinance change back to the administrative staff, with instructions to allow data centers in the tourist development project district as a permitted use. Wolski had made a motion to allow it as an overlay but as a conditional use where it was proposed, but there was no second to his motion. He and
Tutrone voted against the motion to allow data centers in the TDP district; Colyer, John Kerrick and Rachel Schickling voted in favor.
The redraft to make data centers a permitted use in the TDP was presented at the October 20 meeting. Atty. Matergia spoke in support of sending it to the Planning Commissions of the township and Monroe Couty for comment, and advertising for a public hearing.
In discussion many of the same concerns were expressed, but several commenters thanked the supervisors for taking action to control data center development in advance. The vote was unanimous in favor of forwarding the proposal to the planning commissions and setting December 11 as the date for the public hearing.
Supervisors also voted unanimously to send a proposal for a data center overlay at Tarheel Quarry to the two planning commissions, and to hold a public hearing for that project as well.

Jack is survived by his wife of 26 years, Ronda Lee (Arbogast) Martens. Born to Dutch immigrants, Jack grew up with a strong sense of pride in his heritage. He spent much of his early life in Mount Pocono while also staying connected to, and often visiting, his family roots in the Netherlands. He graduated from Monsignor McHugh High School (now Pocono Central Catholic), class of 1978. After graduating, Jack went on to receive his bachelors in hospitality management from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. After college, Jack co-managed Strickland’s Mountain Inn, Pocono Gardens Lodge, Memorytown Lakeside Inn, and, of course, (Beautiful) Mount Airy Lodge. Jack was well known for his role within these hotels during the Poconos’ famous honeymoon era. He was loved by many and known for his fun, humorous, and generous personality. Jack often reminisced on these memories at the hotels, as he met many of his lifelong friends there. He also met his wife, Ronda, at Mount Airy Lodge, where it all started with a chocolate milkshake and a little persistence.
Outside of work, Jack loved to watch and play basketball. He was the self-
proclaimed star of his high school varsity basketball team, and many friends also corroborate this title. His love of the sport followed him into his later years as he taught his daughters to play, both of whom went on to play throughout their school years- just as he did. Aside from basketball, Jack enjoyed golf, chess, and loved to shoot pool. Lastly, he had a soft spot for blackjack, where doubling down was second nature. It was classic Jack—always up for a good time, win or lose.
In addition to his wife, he will be lovingly remembered by his daughters, Johanna Martens and her wife, Susie Zhang, and Kendall Martens and her fiancé, Andrew Jacobs; his brother, Adrian “Ryan” Martens and his partner, Brea Lardiere, and his sister, Susan (Martens) Cooper and her husband, John Cooper. He was also a cherished uncle, cousin, and friend to many.
A memorial visitation was held September 13, at Bolock Funeral Home, 6148 Paradise Valley Road, Cresco, a chance to celebrate his life with laughter and shared memories (and maybe a beer). He wanted people to remember him with the same lighthearted humor he carried through life—and even into this very obituary.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Jack’s memory to Project Purple, supporting their mission of “a world without pancreatic cancer.”
ROY ROBERT TOLLEY
Roy Robert Tolley, 88, of Pocono Pines died peacefully on September 25, 2025 at the Heritage Hills Senior community in Weatherly, after a long illness. Born in Newark, New Jersey, to the late Robert and Alice Tolley Roy grew up in Verona, New Jersey. Over the years, Roy lived in Manhattan, Governor’s Island, Charlotte, North Carolina, and New Zealand all the while having a resident in Timber Trails for the past 45 years. It was at Timber Trails that he met his beloved companion, Kim Famularo.
Roy graduated from Upsala College in New Jersey, where he broke the school’s record for farthest distance in shot put. He honorably served his country for 16 years as Lieutenant Commander in the United States Coast Guard Reserves.
Roy worked in the Marine Transportation Industry. During his career at SeaLand he became vice-president. He was also employed for five years at McAllister Towing Company.
Roy was known for sailing his yachts in the Caribbean and sailing his duster on Lake Naomi. He enjoyed fly fishing for Rainbow Trout in New Zealand along with his guide, Leon, and fly fishing for Tarpon in the Marquesas keys off of Key West, Florida. Roy also took many other fishing trips to Canada, Alaska, and up and down the coast of New Jersey. When visiting his home in New Zealand,
he hiked world-famous mountains. He was best known in Lake Naomi for playing tennis, sailing his duster and walking his golden retrievers Taffy, Sunny 1 and Sunny 2 with his cat Orelo, trailing along.
Roy is survived by his former wife, Carolyn Tolley and mother of his loving children, Jennifer Tolley and Ryan Tolley; and his partner of 16 years, Kim Famularo. A graveside service with military honors took place September 30 in the Pocono Lake Cemetery.
