As hearing approaches, Probst highlights impacts of I-80 project

On a recent afternoon, state Rep. Tarah Probst (D-189th District) took a drive through Stroudsburg with constituent services adviser Jessica Smith to highlight just a few of the spots that the Interstate 80 widening project has already impacted. And there are bound to be even more issues if the project proceeds, Probst said, especially with the elimination of the Dreher Avenue exit. The representative places the blame on the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for failing to do its due diligence in evaluating the properties which fall in the way of the widening project. “This has been going on since I was the mayor, and Stroudsburg Borough has been fighting it now for over 10 years. [PennDOT] just didn’t do their job,” said Probst, who this month won a third term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. “They didn’t do an environmental impact statement — they took it in three sections, so they didn’t have to do that. And for whatever reason, I guess they believe that water doesn’t have connectivity.” Probst said the borough paid about $2,000 to conduct the studies on property near Bryant Street — a part of the next phase of the project — which confirmed “not

East football faces biggest challenge yet in district title game vs Southern Lehigh

SWIFTWATER – For the second year in a row, Pocono Mountain East football is playing for a district championship. And for the second year in a row, the Cardinals are the underdog. East earned its way back to the title game by avenging the Bucket Game loss to Pleasant Valley in the 5A District 11 semifinal , but Dustin Thomas’ squad arguably has the toughest opponent of his entire tenure to date: Southern Lehigh, the reigning PIAA 4A state champion that moved up a classification this year. The Spartans are 11-0 after defeating East Stroudsburg South 42-10 in the other 5A semifinal. Many expect them to stay undefeated, but Thomas hopes that could serve as motivation for his players. “I’m not foolish. I know nobody thinks that we can go down there and beat them, but at the same time, if I'm a player on East, that's what's motivating me,” Thomas said. “The fact that you have a chance to put all that to rest and be the team that beats a state champ and win a district title, that would be what’s motivating me.” More: Greyson Fuller's 1,000-yard season is only a first step to become South's next great

Broadway talent to perform in the Poconos on Nov. 22 | Kulick

What makes our “neck of the woods” so special are the little things that happen that are singular to our community, being Monroe County and its surrounding counties. One of those things is the fact that through the efforts of folks like Skip Scheetz and Stephen DeAngelis we have the opportunity to see seasoned performers that others pay dearly to see perform their art by way of the nonprofit organization Pocono Center for the Arts! (PCFTA) To this end, I wanted to highlight the final show that will be performed on Sunday, Nov. 22, at Stroudsmoor Country Inn at 4 p.m. If you have taken the opportunity to see any one of the shows in the past, you know what I am talking about. PCFTA has a motto, “Expect the Unexpected.” Well, the final show of the season never disappoints, and it is why it is titled “Show of Shows.” The performers who will appear represent those who have performed on Broadway stages, at concert halls, and on international stages. Stephen DeAngelis, producing artistic director, both produces and hosts the evening’s entertainment. William Michals has performed in "Beauty and the Beast," performing both the role of the Beast and of
