The Journal of Penn-Kidder, June-July 2023

A flag drop box was recently installed in Towamensing Trails in Albrightsville. Carbon County Technical Institute students designed and made the box for the development. Two seniors, Brydon Gray and Jacob Pieri, did the carpentry, and Brody Owens did the graphic design. Carpentry teacher Jeff Hazelton oversaw the project. The box will be dedicated this summer when the Valor veterans home in Jonas is also presented with a donation from the Towamensing Trails annual golf tournament.

Penn Forest Twp. says no to spending asks

by Seth Isenberg

June’s Penn Forest Township supervisors meeting featured a couple of arguments over spending. The first of these was over whether to engage with the Natural Lands Trust for a zoning and SALDO land development ordinance update. The Trust offers a $10,000 grant towards the cost, and the work, by Sarcinello Planning & GIS Services, would cost $29,930. At last month’s meeting, engineering and attorney costs were also mentioned.

Supervisor Dr. Pat Holland pointed out that “this is expensive,” and followed up saying the idea of greenways is all fine but the township doesn’t even have sidewalks. Discussion continued, led by supervisor Christian Bartulovich, who explained the benefits of putting rules in place on the remaining developable land, such as having commercial buildings front on the main road, with parking lots in the back and to the side rather than having the parking lot in the front. The hope is also to have a “green buffer” along Route 903, perhaps with walking trails.

Supervisors’ chairman Roger Meckes remained unconvinced. Supervisor

Scott Lignore, who had not heard the original presentation by the Natural Lands Trust staff, wants more information on what the updating can do for the township. He chose to abstain from voting to learn more.

When the vote was called to accept the $10,000 ‘minigrant,’ there was a split of 2-2-1, Bartulovich and Jim Denier in favor, Holland and Meckes not, and Lignore abstaining. The motion failed.

At Lignore’s urging, it was decided to invite the Natural Lands Trust back for a more detailed presentation. A more robust disagreement arose from the agenda item which proposed for the township to buy a two-sided electronic billboard sign to be placed at the township park. The sign alone costs nearly $65,000, and there are other costs.

Dr. Holland led off the arguments against the sign with the point that the sign would bother the neighbors at night. From the audience, it was pointed out that there already is a sign of this type at the Penn Forest Township Volunteer Fire Company #1, just up the road from the park. Members of PFTVFC#1 turned out at the meeting, See PENN FOREST, page 3

Kidder Township Supervisors May meeting:

Wood Street dry hydrant contract approved, new developer for “Henry” property visits

by Seth Isenberg

The long-awaited installation of a dry hydrant on Lake Harmony where Wood Street extends toward the lake is now funded. Larry Kresge Excavating and Trucking was unanimously awarded the contract to install the hydrant at a cost of $8,900, with the project likely to be complete in late June.

New builders for the “Richard Henry” tract on Route 940 came before supervisors at the May 23 meeting to change some items such as the

amount of bonding. They gave a presentation, but the short time between the information being received, and the meeting, led to these requests being rejected. Supervisors invited representatives of the new developer to return to talk some more.

Supervisors continue to review engineer services proposals, so tabled a decision until the June meeting.

Supervisors approved a permit for Split Rock to hold its fireworks display on July 3, and waived an $800 zoning variance fee for the Lake

Harmony Fire Company to erect an electronic sign on their property.

Bills of $200,064 were approved $75,690 to fire and ambulance; $57,860 and $31,152 for insurances, professional fees, taxes, fuel…; $28,589 for garbage.

Contract negotiations are underway with the police officers’ bargaining unit. The contract is up in December. A meeting is scheduled for late May. Police Chief Matthew Kuzma reminds citizens that Kidder Police will have “extra guys out for the holiday weekend.” He asks that if

citizens are disturbed by noise, or fireworks, that they please call 911.

Roadmaster Noel Torres noted that the North Lake Drive roadwork is complete with the installation of barriers near Piggy’s to direct the stormwater.

Township manager Suzanne

Brooks congratulated the Albrightsville Volunteer Fire Company on their receipt of a $70,000 LSA grant to be used to buy equipment to fight electrical fires.

Supervisors will hold their next official meeting on June 28 at 6:30 p.m. at the township building on Lake Avenue.

“I would like to thank the fine voters of Carbon County for their overwhelming support in the May Primary Election.”

and offered the use of their sign to the park committee. One firefighter summed up their group opinion “that’s a lot of money.”

Holland added that if this kind of money was available, it would be better to give it to the fire companies “to help them get financially sound.” This sent discussion off on a tangent for a short while.

In the end, there was no vote at all on the item.

Decisions that were made at the meeting including releasing nearly all of the worksite bond for the

newest Dollar General (off Route 534). Supervisors released the bond of $235,600 while leaving $4,400 in escrow to cover some small landscaping and erosion control items.

Other decisions were buying $4,006 of file cabinets for the “municipal file room;” accepting Shiffer Bituminous’ quote to pave four pipe crossings at a cost of $3,000; buying monitors, a laptop and a docking station for the code enforcement office cost $2,549; installing tracking devices and dashcams onto township’s five vehicles at a cost of $39.25 per vehicle, per month; buying concrete to be poured to fill the hole left by the old drain pipe at the Transfer Station, as well as another batch to flatten the floor at the maintenance building (old drain channels) total $1,465; and providing a ‘day phone’ for the working foreman and a township phone for the new code enforcement officer $39 monthly per phone.

Regarding the Transfer

Station, it was agreed to advertise for two temporary part-time employees to cover 32 hours. Pay would be $19 an hour.

Bills were approved totaling $57,532 from the general fund (mainly insurances, taxes and engineering costs), $17,204 from the septic fund ($16,384 of that to Hanover Engineering), and $29,912 from the sanitation fund ($16,390 for Mascaro, $9,433 for payroll).

H&K offered the low bid for this year’s paving program, at $692,299. This was accepted, pending a review by solicitor Tom Nanovic. The work should be done by mid-August. The water drainage issue being repaired at the end of Unionville Road will be completed separately.

Township business cards were ordered, primarily for the code officers and the front office, at a cost of under $200, on a vote of 4-1, Holland opposed.

The township crew is busy with its summer routine. They will be working on

building the new ramp at the Transfer Station through the month.

A new agreement to offer food vendors a 30-day rental on the park parking lot was approved. This is in addition to the day rental agreement already in place. It mandates that up to three more vendors are allowed, who offer different foods from other park vendors. They are not allowed to bring generators. Electric hookups will be worked out. It was agreed to buy a net to place as a backstop for when softball uses their field, shortening the distance behind the catcher to 24′ from the current 48′. After

discussion about fences and their cost, it was agreed to buy a net at a cost $600 including shipping. More field dirt will be bought to fill in some puddling that is occurring on the third base side.

The new system for tracking complaints about Short-Term Rentals is nearly fully operational. The Zoning report notes 79 zoning permits, 7 for STRs. Supervisors agreed to extend the land development agreement for the Dom ‘N’ Ali to August 19 as their project nears completion. Also in the reports, there are 12 permits issued for new homes.

Local Native American group to hold Pow-Wow

Seth’s Sightings

This column was finished by battery power, as I was not quite done with it when the transformer blew up less than a block away from The Journal’s office. PPL crews were quick, having power back on in under two hours.

I’ve attended Houser auctions for over 30 years including one last week in Carbon County. There’s a certain nostalgic feeling to be in the audience with a numbered card, listening to the auctioneer’s patter. I bought one box lot and a tower heater.

I was able to get tickets for Henry IV, Part 2, at the PA Shakespeare Festival at DeSales University on the Saturday before the show closed. We spent the evening enjoying the complex plot, the foibles of Sir John Falstaff, and the various good performances of the actors including the rude/ crude pub scene.

We attended the opening night performance of In the Heights at DeSales U’s main stage. This is the big music offering for this year’s PA

by Seth Isenberg

Shakespeare Festival. See the review elsewhere in this issue. It is a highly entertaining performance. Snag tickets (they’ll likely go fast –prices are far less than those on Broadway or in Philly) —performances run until July 2.

For sightings these past week, Ruth and I spotted a doe and her days-old fawn on the hillside overlooking Big Boulder. It’s fawn season, so keep a special watch as you drive. Other critters include a healthy and tubby porcupine, groundhogs of all sizes, and the first of summer’s fireflies.

On one of our evening rides home, driving after dark, I sighted a fox seated at a little opening at the bottom of a tree just. We’d slowed for a deer when I sighted the fox sitting or standing there, thinking it was well hidden. It was watching the deer, paying no mind at all to us watching it.

It’s also the season for wildflowers. We are seeking to identify an orange/red bell-like flower with a yellow accent. We are also sighting thick stands of flowering mountain laurel, especially in Kidder Township around the state park. It’s a good year for the laurel bloom. Also of note, waterlilies starting to bloom.

Congrats to the Vegas Golden Knights. It used to be that some cold climate city team would be proudly raising the Stanley Cup, in May. Now the Cup’s home is in the desert of Nevada, earned in June. And the Calder Cup was decided in the desert in California—Palm Springs, where the Coachella Valley Firebirds make their home.

Old time AHL team Hershey Bears, established 1934, were pitted against the brand new Coachella Valley team. Both have been playing some terrific hockey. CV has been fantastic all year. The Bears had an amazing run through the Calder Cup playoffs, getting hot at the right time. We stayed up past 1 a.m. to watch the deciding game seven at CV. The Bears came from behind 2-0 to win it all in overtime.

Congratulations also to the Denver Nuggets on their basketball championship.

We spent a couple of hours at the Great Tastes of Pennsylvania Wine Festival at Split Rock, enjoying the music by North of 40 and some lobster treats.

We went out to find some local strawberries after finishing a shift helping raise money at the Weatherly Hill Climb. Our strawberry run found some at Gould’s Farm, east of Brodheadsville just before they closed at 6. Having some daylight still to burn, we decided to drive south to look at the

other side of the hill and found signs to the Blue Ridge Winery. Curious, we followed them, only having to backtrack once. On arrival, we discovered an impressive winery in full summer swing. The place is very appealing. Our plan is to plan return on some special event weekend day.

Father’s Day we enjoyed a performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Big Boulder Ski Area. The PA Shakespeare Festival players were wonderful. We hope to see more shows there.

June 25 to July 1 is summer’s Downtown Bethlehem Restaurant Week – worth the drive... We are already planning for the Independence Day weekend and have on our list a free performance by the 70’s Flashback Band on July 1 at Hazleton’s City View Park featuring the city’s fireworks that night. For fireworks alone, Split Rock Resort in Lake Harmony will do their shoot on July 3. Depending on the weather, an evening at Knoebels is possible, or if the temperature is too hot, we’ll take the dogs and head west to a remote state park for some sightseeing, and swimming. The Benton Rodeo is on our “do” list either July 15, 16 or 17. And we won’t miss out on the Pow-Wow in Drums July 16 and 17.

Here’s to college football … counting down to its start. Good health to you all.

Out in the Open Mosquitoes

by Alex Zidock

Revenge! I took a clear shot glass and inverted it over the mosquito on my forearm. She was gorging

herself on my blood. “I’ll fix you, you little bloodsucker,” I told myself. I flexed my muscle because I heard somewhere that you can trap a mosquito’s proboscis in

your skin while she’s sucking your blood. The theory is she will eventually explode. Sounds reasonable! Really? Mosquitoes have two little pumps in their heads to extract blood using six micro-needles she sticks into your skin. She also has a nerve in her abdomen that shuts off the pumps in her head to stop filling her belly

when it’s full. I say “she” because only the female bites for blood.

As long-ago news commentator Paul Harvey would say, “Now for the rest of the story.”

You cannot make a mosquito explode by trapping its proboscis in your skin.

However, when researchers severed the nerve in one of the bugger’s abdomen, her little pumps kept pumping, and the bloodsucker did overfill and explode.

I and mosquitoes have a lot in common. We like beer and women, and we operate best at 80 degrees. But they love me, and I hate them.

There are upwards of 3,500 species of mosquitoes worldwide, and about 150 different species have been identified in the United States. While most mosquitoes are vegetarians and rather suck sugar from plants, only the female is a bloodsucker. They bite, and I welt up. I get welts on my arms so big my friends think I’ve been bulking on Wheaties and weights.

Mosquitoes, like all insects, are cold-blooded and, as a result, cannot regulate their body temperature. Basically, their temperature is the same as their surroundings. They hibernate in winter, can’t function below 50 degrees F but relish the balmy 80s. From the first warm summer afternoons, the pregnant females fly with a mission. They need protein in mammal blood to nurture their eggs to maturity.

As soon as I open the patio door, females detect

my body emitting carbon dioxide from 100 feet away. They attack. They land. They stick their proboscis through my epidermis. If I’m lucky, I swat before they spit saliva into me. If I’m slow on the swat, that saliva contains an anticoagulant that keeps my blood from clotting while they suck it up. Other allergic stuff in the spit triggers a release of histamine that causes itching and swelling. And I’ve learned female mosquitoes are more attracted to those who drink beer and to pregnant women.

Studies are unsure why they like beer drinkers, but it seems pregnant women produce more carbon dioxide, attracting mosquitoes. Their body temperature is higher, and that also attracts mosquitoes. Besides the bumps and itching, mosquitoes transmit at least five different diseases. The best known is Malaria. West Nile virus is on the rise in North America. Lesser known conditions include dengue fever, yellow fever, and encephalitis. You can do lots around your house, like making sure there are no old tires, tin cans, or other vessels that collect rainwater where females deposit eggs for incubation. If it’s a small pond or birdbath on your property, you can buy a product that is harmless to birds and animals but kills the mosquito larva. Swat!

Go fish!

by Lori R. Cooper

On a sunny June 11 there were 73 kids participating in the Indian Mountain Lake annual kids fishing derby. The Fishing Lake had been stocked with 400 pounds of fish from Big Brown Fish Hatchery the day before. Families helped fill buckets with trout, pickerel, palomino, perch and sunnies in preparation for the derby.

Six stations were set up around the lake to record the catches with measurement and weight of the fish. The stations were busy, as the children caught a lot of fish.

Prizes were awarded for first fish, smallest fish, largest trout (in length), and the most fish. There were three age categories for the prizes: 1-6 years old, 7-11 years old, and 12-15 years old.

Prizes up for grabs included a $100 Domino’s gift card and gift cards in varying amounts from local business sponsors.

Board member and fishing committee liaison

Scott Zupnik said “This is important for the kids to spend time with their family, friends and neighbors. Lots of people are here to help and give a sense of community and pride in the community.”

The IML Fishing Committee and 18 community volun-

teers made this a special day for the kids. Fishing poles were available if needed and everyone was provided with worms.

Pat Wagner had the slimy job of handing out worms. She noted, “I love fishing. I love to see the kids learning about fishing, that’s our future.”

For many of the kids it was their first time fishing and

they were eager to reel one in.

Fishing Committee member Belita Webb worked at the grill, cooking up hotdogs and supplying the kids with chips and water, all at no cost.

This fun-filled day was made possible by the donations of local businesses, community members, volunteers and the dedicated members of the Fishing Committee. Walking around the lake there was a great feeling of community unity.

Winners of the derby were:

Largest fish (length)–Ages

1-6 Peyton Guess, Ages 7-11

Matthew Allem, Ages 12-15

Adam Ziolkiewicz

Smallest fish (length)–

Most Fish–Ages 1-6

In the Heights a moving portrait of moving…and coming home

by Ruth Isenberg

In the Heights is about movement—and about moving. The annual musical performance at the PA Shakespeare Festival at DeSales University is always popular, always fun, and always a showcase for talented singers and dancers. In the Heights checked all those boxes, with energetic dancers at the top of the list.

Co-written by Hamilton creator LinManuel Miranda and Pulitzer Prize winner Quiara Alegría Hudes, In the Heights is set over a Fourth

of July weekend in New York’s Washington Heights. The plot isn’t the point, exactly. Every character is an immigrant, or the son or daughter of an immigrant, and every character faces challenges and opportunities in the vibrant city neighborhood that is their home.

The cast is multi-ethnic, reflecting the makeup of the part of Queens they portray. The set is stark, at first glimpse, but more complex as the action unfolds, and reflects the colorful mix of people.

Usnavi, played by Ryan

Reyes, is the center that holds the show together. His corner bodega is a hub for the community, and the center of the action. He is an alumnus of the DeSales University theatre program and PSF’s Young Company, and says it is a role he relates to, “not only with my Boricua roots, but also growing up knowing the struggles of running a business alongside my parents and siblings.”

Danny Bolero plays the other main male role, the taxi company owner Kevin Rosario. Bolero has a long history with the show having played the replacement role of Kevin Rosario in the original Broadway

production and originating the role in the 1st National Tour. “It’s very seldom that there’s a musical that speaks to Latinos,” Bolero says. “My parents, who were Mexican, came here with very little education, my dad worked three jobs, and together my parents worked to get us a house and put us through private school. It’s that same immigrant story that’s in the show. I had to be a part of it.”

The whole cast is outstanding, with special mention of a few of the female roles— Ariana Valdes as hair salon owner Daniela has a strong voice and is given some great songs to show it off, and Tauren

Hagans’ number where she runs out of patience with her husband Kevin and her daughter brought spontaneous applause on opening night because of its spot-on delivery.

The mix of dance and music, the colors, the energy, all combine to create a joyful explosion of storytelling. The tale is one of change, of growth, and of finding home.

Performances continue through July 2 at the Labuda Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of DeSales University. Tickets are available at pashakespeare.org, or by calling 610.282.WILL [9455].
