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

YMCA lawyer says project is approved, but Cherry Ridge Township doesn't

One year after the conditional use hearing for the Wayne County YMCA building project started but was never completed, the project was deemed approved by the applicant’s attorney, Mark Zimmer, who alleges a failure by Cherry Ridge Township. The township, however, says otherwise, and the whole matter may end up in court. Zimmer said in his public notice that this action is required under state law “due to the Board's failure to conduct or complete the required hearing.” The new home for the YMCA, pending other permit approvals, is being planned south of Honesdale on a field just off Route 191 along Spinner Road. If built, the Y will move from its present location at 105 Park Street in the borough, and be able to offer indoor swimming, daycare, a running track and other expanded amenities. After the hearing in August had to be postponed because the site had never been posted advertising the hearing, it was rescheduled for Oct. 21. This time, the hearing was properly posted at the site. Although the YMCA’s attorney contends the project is approved by default, the township board nevertheless went through the formality of the hearing, although it lasted only about 16 minutes.

The art of remembrance: Work continues on Archbald Borough Veterans Monument Park

To Stephen Colley, many military memorials feel polished and rigid. Colley doesn't want his work for the Archbald Borough Veterans Monument Park to feel that way. "It looks like movie stars were in the middle of war," the sculptor and Marywood University educator said of other statues he's seen as he stood over several miniature renditions of a 12-foot eagle obelisk he designed.

Chuck O’Neil’s reading at the Columns Museum almost like praying

At the risk of sounding melodramatic and with apologies to Stephen Sondheim (think “Maria” from West Side Story), Milford’s Poet Laureate Chuck O’Neil’s reading at the Columns Museum sounded almost like praying. O’Neil read from “Americans By Turns” in memory of Bill Kiger, Milford’s citizen extraordinaire, and to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States. The book is O’Neil’s latest and contains new works, including the titular poem, as well as selected poems from his previous books.
