Space

June–July 2023

by Ruth Isenberg

A CANWIN publication Ruth Isenberg, Editor Seth Isenberg, Ads / Distribution Publishers (Continuing the work of founders Frank Pieri and Mary Farnschlader, 1995 – 2018)

Space can have a multitude of meanings. To a Trekkie, space is “the final frontier,” a place to explore where no human has ever been before.

An astronomer would define space similarly.

Space is the vast galaxies that surround our earth.

It’s everything outside and unknown.

Space can mean room to grow. When we have enough space, we have a place for everything in our lives. We aren’t crowded with too much in too small an area.

Personal space is the invisible border we set up around ourselves. Family and close friends can come inside, but we get very uncomfortable when someone we don’t know or like gets too close and invades our personal space.

Mental space allows us room to expand our thoughts, to use our imaginations, to see things in new ways and from the perspectives of others. In some ways, this kind of space implies time as much as it does distance.

Summer at The Lake involves crowds and company, but it also creates chances to appreciate space—sitting apart on a porch or a dock, gazing at the night sky, and enjoying our space.

Lake Harmony Rescue Squad Report The Lake Harmony Rescue Squad’s ’22-’23 fundraising letter campaign has raised nearly $50,000. Thank you to all who donated to this sum.

If you still wish to donate, please send a check to: LAKE HARMONY RESCUE SQUAD AND AMBULANCE CORPS, INC. P.O. Box 564, Lake Harmony, PA 18624, or go online to lakeharmonyambulance.com to make a payment with a credit card.

The campaign raised enough to cover the 2022 payment on the loan for new unit 1760. The rest of the money is going toward repairs, and equipment upgrades like new radios — which are now in use.

The LHRS put 1005 miles on the new unit and 901 miles on unit 1761 through the end of May. In

May, crews were out 32 times in Lake Harmony, 5 times into Monroe County, and once into White Haven. Units also went out on 12 fire alarm calls.

The LHRS holds their annual fundraising breakfast at Split Rock Resort Town Center on Sunday, July 2, 8 a.m. to noon. $10 adults, $5 for children, under 5 free.

Volunteers will be selling t-shirts, hats and sweatshirts. There will be a 50/50 ticket, and Parade of Boats tickets will be on sale (cash prizes of $1000, $1000, $500, $500, $250, $250, $100, $100, $50, $50).

NASCAR weekend July 22 and 23, the LHRS will be at Lake Harmony Beverage with their hot dog fundraiser. Stop by for a hot dog and to make a donation.

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

Larry O’Rourke’s column was about three rounds of golf played on the longest Monday of the year with ‘local legends’ Jeff Hemming and Al “Spider” Baver at the Mountain Laurel Golf Course, with tee time at 5:45 a.m. First Mulligan — himself on the first hole. First Birdie, also himself, on the 12th. He shot 91 for that first

18 — the best of the rounds. Hemming shot 85, and Baver 89. And O’Rourke birdied out on the 54th and final hole.

“And why 54 holes in one day?

Because we can, Because we’re crazy, Because we’re crazy.”

O’Rourke covers the Philadelphia Eagles and sometimes golf for The Morning Call of Allentown.

As of March of this year, new PA Game Commission regulations are in place that make feeding bears illegal.

A helpful note on this page — …if bears are in the area, bring in your bird feeders at night. If bears already frequent your property, consider limited bird feeding to the period when most bears den up for the winter.”

Among the articles for this issue were 2003 Boating Regs, Kidder Recycling Rules, a list of shows at the Pocono Playhouse, a list of games of The Red Barons, and a list of Pocono events from the Vacation Bureau including a Country Music Train by the Stourbridge Line Rail Excursion.

On the Road

Something I have written about often in this column is how convenient Lake Harmony is to a wide variety of activities. The PA Shakespeare Festival shows are an hour’s drive from here to the theater via the Turnpike. Briggs Farm is well under an hour. The Benton Rodeo is an hour and 15 minutes. Bethlehem and its events is just over an hour, door to door. I’ll write about some very good wineries also nearby­ — in another column, though I will mention that this year’s Taste of PA Wine and Foods Festival right here at Split Rock was a very good time.

Back to convenience…as of this column, Ruth and I have made two easy trips to DeSales University to see PA Shakespeare Festival (PSF) performances of Henry IV part 2 and the musical, In The Heights. These were Broadway level performances, just a short drive away (and, at a fraction of Broadway prices). We intend to see at least three more of their offerings before the end of July — next up is The Tempest.

I realize that our prime and peaceful portion of the Poconos is hard to pry ourselves from on beautiful summer evenings, but there are some

Looking ahead, NASCAR weekend means our area becomes the focus of the motorsports world for a short while. I am planning to see all four races and enjoy the atmosphere of motor fueled fun. For someone interested in trying out the weekend, try the ARCA race on Friday night — admission $10.

Arrive early to see some of the booths. My favorite of the weekend is Saturday with its two races, though the big race on Sunday has no equal.

New York City area and Broadway entertainers come to our area for the Pocono Mountains Music Fest nearby at Buck Hill, Skytop, Mt. Pocono and Stroudsburg. They offer fantastic shows, well worth coming out for.

Looking ahead, Musikfest’s wondrous variety of performances in early to mid-August features national and regional musicians and groups with hundreds of free performances. It’s an hour plus time to find parking, but does feature a lot of walking. I’ll write more in the next issue.

To wrap up — Lake Harmony is the perfect launch point for lots of summer fun within a short drive. Enjoy the summer … and get out a bit to find your fun.

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 Lin-Manuel 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 See IN THE HEIGHTS, page 24

In the Heights Continued from page 22

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].

U.S. Postal Service honors the late civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis with a stamp July 21, John Lewis. One (63¢) forever commemorative stamp, pane of 15; Atlanta, GA 30304. Civil rights giant and former U.S. Rep. John Lewis, who spent decades fighting for racial justice, will be honored with a postage stamp..

In a Tuesday announcement, the U.S. Postal Service said the stamp “celebrates the life and legacy” of the leader from Georgia, who risked his life protesting against segregation and other injustices in the violent Jim Crow-era South.

OBITUARIES Civil Rights Leader John Lewis Never Gave Up Or Gave In “Lewis spent more than 30 years in Congress steadfastly defending and building on key civil rights gains that he had helped achieve in the 1960s. Even in the face of hatred and violence, as See PO NOTES, page 35

well as some 45 arrests, Lewis remained resolute in his commitment to what he liked to call ‘good trouble,’” USPS said in a news release.

In March of 1965, then-25-year-old Lewis led a march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge from Selma to Montgomery alongside other civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr. The peaceful protest calling for equal voting rights came to be known as “Bloody Sunday” after Alabama State Troopers descended on the nonviolent demonstrators in a brutal attack that left Lewis with a cracked skull.

His public service career spanned nearly 60 years. As a young student he joined lunch-counter protests; later, he became a member of the Freedom Riders; and at 21, he was the youngest speaker at the March on Washington. After serving on the Atlanta City Council, Lewis was elected to Congress where he spent more than 30 years representing the Atlanta area in the House of Representatives.

Kidder Supervisors June meeting

Kidder Police bargaining agreement approved

by Seth Isenberg The collective bargaining agreement between Kidder Township and its police union was unanimously approved by supervisors at their June meeting on the 27th. Negotiations were primarily about pay/cost of living, and were “cordial,” according to supervisors’ chairman Ray Gluck.

Quick work was made of the other business on the agenda, including approval of an extension for the Reflections at Lake Harmony minor subdivision, to December; approval of the township insurance policy from Joyce Insurance; approval of the audit of the 2022 township finances

by CPA firm Kirk, Summa; conditional approval of the release of the Koberlein fire escrow ($41,598); and approving a waiver of permit fees for the Albrightsville Fire Company to extend their building.

Ten lots were welcomed back onto the tax rolls, bought from the Carbon County Tax Claim Bureau’s repository for unsold properties.

These are primarily in the Holiday Pocono development.

Citizen Tom Seva of Lake Harmony Estates spoke to supervisors about getting a crosswalk approved between Nick’s Lake House and their parking lot so that traffic can be better controlled. Manager Brooks noted that the township has

approached PennDOT about doing this and was turned down.

Property owner and supervisor Louis Pantages said that he has also approached PennDOT and was turned down. It was agreed to try again, including involving state representative Doyle Heffley.

Kidder Police will be out with extra patrols over the 4th of July week. Chief Matthew Kuzma reminds residents to not “hesitate to call (911) about fireworks.”

It was also relayed to Kuzma and his officers that the Carbon County Agency on Aging really See KIDDER, page 41

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.

Insert numbers 1 through 9 in each block; no repeats in row or column.

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.

See MOSQUITOES, page 43

Lake News, June-July 2023 —43

Mosquitoes From page 42

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 coldblooded 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!
