You can help keep our creeks — and drinking water

If you want to keep our creeks and streams safe, and have an hour or so just once a month, come find out about being a StreamWatcher.

StreamWatcher Training

Training and information sessions will be held at Brodhead Creek Heritage Center at 1539 Cherry Lane

Road, near Analomink on May 20 at 10 a.m.

Naturalist Darryl Speicher will talk about the program and how you can help. Almost 100 sites are monitored throughout the watershed— one of them near you.

Get outdoors and do something good. Call the

Brodhead Watershed Association at 570 8391120 for more information. For information on what StreamWatchers do, go to https:// brodheadwatershed.org/ wp-content/uploads/ Streamwatcher_flier_2022. pdf

PLUMC seeking flea market vendors

You can help protect pure, safe water in the Brodhead watershed. Call 570 839-1120 — become a StreamWatcher.

The pure creeks and streams of the Brodhead watershed define our lives. You can’t go half a mile in our area without seeing a creek or hearing water. It’s so much a part of every day life, we take it for granted. And yet, erosion, pollution and just plain not caring can change that in a New York minute.

StreamWatchers are the volunteer watchdogs who protect our pure water by visiting our creeks and streams once a month—and documenting the facts about changes in water quality and water quantity.

Vendors are now being accepted for the 19th Pocono Lake United Methodist Church Community Flea Market to be held rain-or-shine on Saturday, June 10, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. $15 will reserve your table/space on the Green in front of the church, located at 1188 Route 940. Please contact the church office at 570-646-2650 to reserve your table or for more information. Prepayment for vendor tables/space is required. Checks may be made out to “Pocono Lake United

Methodist Church”.

The church is located 4.5 miles east of Blakeslee at 1188 Route 940. The United Women of Faith sponsor the event, and everyone in the community is invited to participate. It is always well-attended by neighbors, vacationers, racing fans, and folks simply driving by on Route 940.

The PLUMC Flea Market is a fun way to start the summer and is greatly looked forward to by the entire community. There will be a wide variety of items available to purchase, including crafts, artifacts, home décor, and a White Elephant table that features interesting “treasures” and excellent buys. It is always an enjoyable day perusing the tables, making memorable purchases, and greeting and welcoming friends and neighbors.

United Women of Faith will again feature their delicious home baked goods for sale. Please contact the church office at 570-6462650 for more information.
