Coolbaugh Township super-
visors passed a motion to ad-
vertise a draft amendment to
their Code of Ordinances,
Chapter 15 Motor Vehicles and
Traffic Part 4 General Parking
Regulations at their meeting on
August 3. The amendment is to
establish No Parking zones and
post No Parking signs along
both sides of Route 611 from

by Jeanine Hofbauer
The August 2 meeting of the
Mt. Pocono Borough Council
began with members extending
their gratitude to council mem-
ber Bill Jabara for his recent
diligence in providing traffic
control in the borough, after two
separate multi-vehicle crashes
on I-380 on July 31. Jabara pro-
vided traffic control from 7:15
a.m. to 7:15 p.m. in what Mayor
Dan McDavitt labeled as per-
forming, “above and beyond the
call of duty.” Jabara responded,
“I did it for the local businesses
and people of the borough.”
President John Finnerty dis-
cussed the borough’s “vehe-
ment dismay” over the state’s
proposal to diminish the role
municipalities in favor of county
government. He emphasized
the public should be aware of
this proposal and how it would
affect their community.
Solicitor James Fareri dis-
cussed a proposed amend-
ment to the borough’s Property
Maintenance Code. The code
lacked a section empowering
the borough to access a prop-
erty to cut grass and remove
unsightly vegetative growth.
Zoning Officer Joe Brady re-
quested the borough ensure
the code address the matter of
reimbursement to the borough,
with Fareri responding, “Yes, it
does.”
John Scalamandre reques-
ted Brady to elaborate on the
planning commission’s recom-
mendations for changes for the
signage ordinance. One rec-
ommendation addresses the
conversion of manual gas signs
to electronic and the elimina-
tion of pylon signs and monu-
ment signs.

New book illustrates growth and development of Pocono Pines
by Ruth Isenberg
A book that draws on the
memories of old-timers, and
provides a pictorial comparison
of Pocono Pines…Then & Now
has been written and published
by Lake Naomi resident Fred
Lehrer. It’s now on sale, and all
proceeds above the out-of-
pocket costs are being donated
to the Clymer Library.
Lehrer started working on
the 107-page book last Sep-
tember, inspired by the
archiving project of the His-
torical Association of To-
byhanna Township. The
records and pictures
HATT had gathered
were being scanned
and stored at the li-
brary, with over
2,000 scans to
date. He also en-
joyed the many
pictures of “old”
Pocono Pines displayed
around the area, in places like
the Lake Naomi Clubhouse and
Van Gilder’s Jubilee Restau-
rant.

Ruth ordered a glass of
Chardonnay, $5.19, and I en-
joyed a fresh-brewed iced tea,
$1.89 refillable, and watched as
birds flitted by and of course,
viewed activity on the golf
course.
Ruth liked a couple of the spe-

penne pasta with marinara
sauce and sweet Italian
sausage, $12.22. I wanted
something lighter, and selected
the house Caesar salad with
grilled shrimp, $8.44.
Our orders were taken to the
kitchen, and the server returned
with a basket of warm, herbed
focaccia bread. We nibbled on
this and enjoyed the whole out-
side dining experience.
Ruthʼs pasta came with a
salad. She chose the Caesar
dressing, enjoying the tangy fla-
vor on the crisp vegetables.
Since I was having a main dish
salad, I contented myself with
more focaccia.

A large dish of pasta provided
plenty of food for Ruth. Large

delicious herbed and chunky
tomato sauce. It showed evi-

The dogs hadn't had a long walk we found a fork marked as Lake swimming.

Seth’s Sightings by Seth Isenberg

To watch a young person grow
up is a beautiful experience. A
young man we consider a nephew,
a child of close friends, got married
on Friday. As I sat in the church
pew, admiring the ceremony in a
beautiful, over two centuries old
Presbyterian church, in my mind I
could picture the little boy. But there
he was, with his full beard, looking
lovingly into the eyes of beautiful
young woman, both of them glow-
ing with love for each other.
I've always been proud of him,
but now I'm proud in a different
way, proud to see him as a full
adult, read to contribute his mark
on the world—or should I say,
ready with his new wife to con-
tribute their mark? They're going to
be a formidable team.
At the event, Ruth and I were
able to also catch up with the ex-
tended family. We enjoyed our-
selves. This was made even better
by the location of the reception,
Springville Manor Farm, a pre-
served historic farm with a beauti-
ful manor house. The grounds were
kept as they might hae been in the
1700s. The county had also added
for the waving of the green flag.
This was fun to watch—competi-
tive, with a variety of exciting mo-
ments, including some crashes and
some almost crashes. There was
also Chase Mattioli to cheer on—a
local product, full-time college stu-
dent and part-time racer. He did all
right, until somebody else's crash
collected his truck, and put him out
of the race. What wasn't fair is that
the truck that caused Chase's race
to end was able to be patched up
and put back out to be running at
the finish.
To see the hard-working Elliot
Sadler win this race was a nice
bonus.
It wasn't long before the second
race of Saturday was ready for its
start. We'd taken a walk through
FanFare, and the exhibits were
mostly closed, so we strolled
through the sales area and
checked out the people. There
were a lot of children at the race-
way on Saturday, a good sign.
The second race featured two
local drivers, Nick Igdalski, also of
Long Pond, and Chase Mattioli. It
was competitive, and we cheered
for weeks, due to the heat and
other circumstances. Today's tem-
perture was ideal. I selected a sec-
