Spring’s approach marks wildfire season start
Submitted by
George Maehrer
Forest Fire Warden
Pocono Forest Fire Crew
The months of March, April,
and May represent a time of
change in Pennsylvania,
when the snows of winter give
way to the renewed life of
spring. These changes transi-
tion us into the warm summer
months. Most of us associate
these months with animals
coming out of hibernation, the
blossoming of flowers, and
trees coming into bud to
sprout their new leaves and
new growth, but this is also
the time of another season.
March, April, and May are also
the months when Wildland
Fire Season comes to Pennʼs
Woods.
As winterʼs snow melts, our
forests are left open to the
strengthening sun and spring-
time winds. With the forest
canopy still depleted from the
previous autumn, there is
nothing to shield the fallen
leaves, pine needles, twigs,

and branches from the warm-
ing sun and strong spring
winds. As the sun reaches
higher and higher into the sky,
the days get longer, and the
nights shorter. The sunʼs
beams become more direct,
warming the earth more and
more. This increases the aver-
age air temperature approxi-
mately 40°F in just 12 weeks.
Along with this rapid change in
temperature typically come
strong westerly winds, almost
due west in fact. Remember,
the direction of the wind refers
to where the wind is coming
from. To our west is mainly dry
land consisting of the western
deserts and the Great Plains
so there is very little moisture
in the air masses accompany-
ing west winds. Yes we do still
get rain in the springtime, but
these rain showers are often
violent and quick with much of
the water running off instead
of soaking in. When they end,
the exposed landscape is
scoured by warm sunlight and
strong spring winds rapidly

drying the forest floor once
again. Many of the fuels in the
forest are capable of igniting
in as little as one hour after a
rain storm. Most available
fuels are primed for ignition
within 10 hours.
These conditions tend to
clash with what people want.
Most all of us want to clean
our properties of the leaf pack
from the fall and all those fall-
en branches and twigs from
the winter and this is a good
thing; in fact, doing so helps
protect our homes and proper-
ties from an approaching wild-
fire. However, there are many
people who choose to burn
these yard debris, which often
results in these fires breaking
containment. Controlled burns
that get away represent the
leading cause of wildland fires
and with our primary fire sea-
son at the same time of the
year that we are cleaning up
our yards, burning yard debris
is definitely not the best
option.

Tunkhannock Townshipʼs
February 24 supervisors
meeting was much quieter
than the last few. Only 11 citi-
zens attended this night. They
were quiet during the public
hearing to approve the
amendments to the Zoning
Ordinance relating to outdoor
fuel burners/furnaces, and
that passed 2-0, Maureen
Sterner and George Ewald in
favor.
The contract between Toby-
hanna and Tunkhannock
Townships to share sewage
enforcement services was re-
viewed, and changes will be
made prior to a public hearing
on the subject on March 10.
Tunkhannock will spend $40
per hour on an as-needed
basis, plus expenses, paid
monthly to Tobyhanna. Sew-
age enforcement fees will be
set by Tobyhanna Township.
Filling the vacant seat on
the board of supervisors has
attracted six letters of interest

Bulk trash weekend in
Tunkhannock will be held only

A community yard sale (as a

money will be used for the
event.
A letter of support for the

will be sent. No money from
the budget is set aside for the
project, however.

Continued from page 1
As an alternative to burning
this waste, we recommend
composting. Composting not
only eliminates the possibility
of a controlled burn escaping
into the woods; it also, over
time, transforms yard debris
into rich fertile humus that can
be added to gardens to nour-
ish the soil. It also keeps yard
debris from going into landfills.
You can also add most kitchen
waste to your compost pile as
grounds, and even egg shells
can be composted. Other
things that can be composted
include sawdust, shredded
newspaper, and even tea
bags. Any waste that goes into
your compost pile is waste
that stays out of a landfill, so in
this day of Go Green, com-
posting is one more way you
can do exactly that. If you
think you would like to give
composting a try, there are
many excellent articles on the
subject available on the Inter-
net. For more composting in-
formation, log onto www.
wffwa.org and click on the
presents
“Learn Not 2 Burn” button at
the left.
If you still elect to burn your
yard debris, remember there
is no 100% foolproof way to
ensure the fire will not break
containment. However, follow-
ing these simple common
sense rules will make your fire
as safe as possible.
Never burn on dry windy
days or when burn bans are in
effect. Check local ordinances
regarding burning. Many de-
velopments also have rules
governing burning so if you
live in a development, check
with your association as well.
Always keep a charged gar-
den hose at the ready. Should
your find it necessary to use
the hose, never use a straight
stream; instead, use a spray
pattern as this will cool a larg-
er area more rapidly and a
straight stream will likely cast
hot embers out from the fire
and into the forest as much as
several feet away.
Never leave your fire unat-
tended; remember, if you walk
away from your fire, your fire
may walk away from you.
Keep your fire small and
only add small amounts of
debris at a time.
If possible, burn in a con-
tainer such as a burn barrel
and use a heavy duty screen
to reduce the chance of flying
embers.
Keep an eye to changing
weather conditions and stop
burning if you notice the
weather is getting hotter, dry-
er, and/or the wind is increas-
ing.
Remember, you can always
cover your pile with a tarp and
wait to burn it another day
when it is safer to do so.
When you are finished burn-
ing for the day, ensure your
fire is out cold by soaking it
good with water and stirring
the ashes. Repeat this until
you feel no heat coming off of
it when you pass the back of
your ungloved hand a couple
inches above the coals.
Following these simple rules
will greatly reduce the risk of
your fire escaping contain-
ment.

Dining Out
Antonio’s
Pizza
Main Street Plaza
White Haven
by Ruth Isenberg
Pizza is one of my favorite
foods. Itʼs quick, itʼs hot, itʼs
filling, itʼs delicious. Our area
is blessed with some really
great pizza restaurants, and
because of our busy sched-
ules here at the Journal, we
visit them often.
Sometimes, though, I want
something different. This
week, at Antonioʼs Pizza in the
White Haven Shopping Plaza,
I enjoyed a vegetable strom-
boli. It met all the above
requirements, plus one more -
it contained at least four serv-
ings of healthy vegetables.
Since I struggle to eat right,
which isnʼt easy when youʼre
eating on the go, the fact that I
could consume this many veg-

etables at one sitting, and not
being eating a salad was a
definite plus.
The dough was thin, almost
stretchy, and the mixture of
broccoli, spinach, onion and
just a few peppers (I handed
most of them off to Seth)
steamed, coated in rich moz-
zarella cheese. The flavors
blended perfectly, and were
complemented by the red
wine/Marinara sauce for dip-
ping.
Between the two of us, we
managed to finish the strom-
boli, along with a turkey wrap.
The same stromboli dough
was used for the wrap, giving
it a crusty and chewy texture
that thinner sheets of dough
just donʼt offer. It was filled
with turkey, tomato, lettuce
and cheese, and gently
warmed, just enough to soften
the cheese but not fully melt it.
A bit of mayonnaise provided
all the dressing needed. That
sandwich was mainly Sethʼs,
but I sampled one of the four
sections.

The Doughboys consist of
Myke Scavone, lead vocals;
Richard X. Heyman, drums

tar and vocals; and Mike
Caruso, bass and vocals. The
Doughboys were one of the
most popular of central
Jerseyʼs bands in the ʻ60s.
Mike and Richie formed the
group with guitarist Willy
Kirchofer in the fall of ʻ64 and
called it The Ascots. A year
later Mike Farina and Myke
Scavone from rival band The
Apollos came on board. The
Ascots changed their name to
back for dessert another day!

Disc-o-teen TV show. They
put out two singles – Rhoda
Mendelbaum and Everybody

played weekly WMCA Good
Guys shows all over the tri-

Seth’s Sightings
Beautiful. Our area is beautiful
right now, buried under a heavy
blanket of white. All around us
there are spectacles (and ici-
cles)—winter wonders. This past
weekʼs storm was “one to tell the
grandkids about.” Iʼve written in
this space that I remember a few
storms like this one, while growing
up, and one while in college. I
learned that winter means snow,
and that was the case right
through the early 1970s. Some
change took place 30 plus years
ago, and winter equals snow no
longer equated.
For a long time, I predicted a
weather cycle that would mean
snowier times, thinking I saw a
change about every 20 years in
weather patterns. I stopped pre-
dicting this a few years ago. It just
was too long since normal winters.
Iʼm not willing to give up the idea,
however. Perhaps itʼs a 35 to 40
year cycle. If so, weʼll be ale to
count on winter being winter-like
for many years to come now.
by Seth Isenberg
Itʼs been days of digging, and
even as I wield the shovel, I find
myself thinking of a real natural
disaster, the very strong earth-
quake in Chile (I can add tsunamis
to the list of things we donʼt have to
worry about, here in the eastern
mountains of PA). A huge earth-
quake did a bit of damage, and
there are a few hundred people
dead, and then there were tsunami
fears all across the Pacific Ocean.
As I widened my walk paths,
one shovelful of snow at a time, I
thought about the relative luck of
having a big quake in an area
mostly prepared for it. If that quake
had hit Haiti, it would easily have
been another hundred thousand
dead. I looked at my news sites on
Sunday. I was reading about the
Chilean quake, and could see
videos. In looking at those, there
were a few from closed circuit
cameras. I was amazed to see
these—the most interesting was of

Seth’s Sightings...
Continued from page 10
Also from our travels, McAdoo
borough, south of Hazleton,
seemed to have the heaviest
snowfall from the storm (that we
saw). Their snow banks were just
enormous down the Main Street,
almost five feet high. Weʼve seen
higher, but not much, in the snowy
passes between mountains in the
Sierras of California, and the
Rockies of Colorado.
Hiking this week included a walk
through deep snow in Hickory Run
State Park on Saturday – a short
walk as footing was too uncertain
and the dogs tired fast – so did we.
Sunday, we went further west and
south a bit to Tuscarora State
Park, where we hiked along a
closed park road where snow had
drifted in places. Footing here was
good, so we managed a long walk
as the sun set. We are really look-
ing forward to the change to
Daylight Savings Time coming up
in two weekends.
We fit in some fun at Mt. Airy
The Journal of the Pocono Plateau, Week of March 4, 2010–PAGE 13
Casino Resort on Saturday, fitting
in to the late performance of Peter
Noone and Hermanʼs Hermits in
their Gypsies nightclub. Noone
performed for about an hour of
music and entertaining with songs,
stories and jokes. He sounded
great, and his band was sharp –
right on the music. At Gypsies, the
audience is very close to the stage
– good seats for everyone. Their
sound system is fantastic - crisp,
and not too loud. There is also a
closed circuit TV system showing
the stage from big screen TVs
spread throughout the room –

bonus to see the performer from
other angles than the one from
your seat.
Some good performers are com-
ing in to Mt. Airy Casino over the
next few weeks and months. There
may even be tickets still available
for this weekendʼs shows by Gary
Puckett and B. J. Thomas. Parking
is free, with shuttles if needed that
bring you to the main entrance
(like when itʼs cold and snowy).
Inside the building, the nightclub is
just a short walk from the entrance,
and just off the gaming floor if you
want to try your luck. Peter Noone

Police Beat
PA State Police – Lehighton
have arrested 45 y.o. Edwin J.
Kelly of Scotrun and accused him
of the murder of David W. Mc-
Entire of Kunkletown in October
of 2005. The Monroe County
District Attorneyʼs office is assist-
ing PSP investigators. Kelly is in
the Monroe County jail without
bail. The investigation continues.
PSP-L was called to a home on
Red Oak Dr. near Palmerton to
investigate the death of a 77 y.o.
man of apparent natural causes
between 2-11 and 2-15.
On 2-12 and again on 2-28, 26
y.o. Ryan William Corson of
Potomac Falls, VA, drove to the
Country Inn & Suites in Lehighton
to have consensual sex with a
local girl that he met on the
Internet, who is 15. An investiga-
tion by the Franklin Twp. Police
was joined by PSP-L, and the
man was arrested. He is now in
the Carbon County Jail, facing
charges of statutory sexual
assault.
2-17 about 9 p.m., Pocono
Mountain Regional Police stop-
ped a Kia for violations of the
vehicle code. It was being driven
along Route 196. At the wheel,
they found a fugitive from NYC,
Willie Simmons, 46. He was
arrested without incident for a
parole violation, and sent to the
county jail to await extradition.
by Seth Isenberg
2-18 9 a.m., PMRPD was
called to a Ridge Rd., Pocono
Lake home where a 30 y.o. man
had fought with his father, grab-
bing him by the throat. The 30 y.o.
was arrested, and sent to the
county jail by District Judge
Richard Claypool in lieu of bail set
at $15,000.
2-21 PSP-Fern Ridge went to a
Grand Mesa Dr., Sierra View,
Effort home to arrest a 13 y.o.
boy, who had threatened a 12 y.o.
boy with a knife. The 13 y.o. faces
charges of terroristic threats, sim-
ple assault, harassment, and
more, through Monroe County
Juvenile Probation.
2-25 10 p.m. a 31 y.o. Toby-
hanna man was seen by PMRPD
officer urinating in the parking lot
of the Mt. Pocono McDonaldʼs.
He was arrested for disorderly
conduct, (taken to a bathroom at
police HQ) then charged, and
released. The same thing hap-
pened two days later, when
police, on patrol on Oak Street in
Mt. Pocono, saw a different man
urinating in the Kmart parking lot
area of Mt. Pocono Plaza. This
man, also of Tobyhanna, was also
arrested, charged and released.
2-27 11:30 a.m. PMRPD was
called to a report of a gun being
brandished at Tumbleweed Dr.,
Emerald Lakes home. When at
the home, police met a 23 y.o.
Long Pond woman. After the inci-
dent was cleared, police learned
that the woman had a warrant out
for her. Police then went to a
Cedar Dr., Emerald Lakes home
to arrest her. There, a man tried to
interfere with her arrest – which
got him arrested, too. Both were
taken to the county jail to be held
until arraignment.
2-28 1:30 p.m., 29 y.o. Zachary
Steven Roeder of Saylorsburg
man argued with, then assaulted
his girlfriend because she had
cancelled his cell phone service.
He grabbed her, threw her to the
ground, jumped on her and hit her
in the face at least five times.
Police saw bruises and lumps on
her head. He is in the county jail
charged with simple assault and
harassment. PSP-F seeks addi-
tional information on this incident,
at 646-2271.
3-1 2:02 p.m. a road rage inci-
dent between two Effort men
started on Route 115 and ended
in the parking lot of Kinsleyʼs
Shoprite. The 28 y.o. victim fled
into the store. The other man fol-
lowed and caught up with the vic-
tim, grabbing him by the neck.
PSP-F arrived to arrest the as-
sailant, who is charged with ha-
rassment.
Someone tried to set a barn on
Frantz Road near Brodheadsville
on fire during the early hours of 3-
1. The fire was discovered smol-
dering, and was put out with a fire
extinguisher. West End Fire Co.
responded, as did State Police
Fire deputy fire marshal Shawn
Hilbert. An examination deter-
mined the fire had been intention-
ally set. An investigation has start-
ed. Contact PSP-F at 646-2271
with any information.
Stealin’
Between 1-29 and 2-5 some-
one used stolen personal checks
from a 31 y.o. Kunkletown man to
buy items at area stores, PSP-L.
An Effort woman was caught by
Weis Markets staff trying to steal
about $95 in merchandise from
the Brodheadsville store, PSP-F.
Between 2-16 and 25, some-
one sent a counterfeit US Postal
Money Order for $950 to an
Indian Trail Dr., Penn Forest Twp.
woman, PSP-F.
Between 2-22 and 27, some-
one entered a Gould Develop-
ment Rd., Saylorsburg home via
an unlocked rear basement door.
Thieves found about $3,000 in
jewelry, then fled. PSP-F is inves-
tigating.
The Pocono Plateau is not
high enough for some
2-27 1:54 a.m., PMRPD
stopped a car on Cumberland Rd.
for vehicle code violations and
found 18 y.o. Sandro Pichardo of
the Bronx and a 16 y.o. Toby-
hanna boy under the influence of
marijuana. There was also an
open bottle of beer in the car. A
search was agreed to, and police
found a plastic bag with 18 “dime-
sized” little bags of marijuana
inside. Pichardo was arrested on
possession and drug dealing
charges, and was taken to the
county jail. The 16 y.o. was arrest-
ed for drug possession, evidence
tampering and underage drinking.
A third passenger, a 15 y.o. girl,
was arrested for underage drink-
ing, and later released to her
father. More charges are likely to
be filed as the investigation con-
tinues.
PSP-L picked up four drivers on
DUI charges this week, and also
an 18 y.o. Nesquehoning boy who
was a passenger in a car stopped
on Route 903 in Penn Forest Twp.
at 2:33 a.m. on 2-27, who was
found to have been drinking
(underage drinking violation).
PMRPD stopped to check a
suspicious vehicle in the lot of the
Copa Bar in Mt. Pocono at 1:52
a.m. on 2-28. The occupants
were questioned – they told
police they were just leaving the
bar. Investigation found a large
bag of marijuana with many small
packets of marijuana inside,
under where a 30 y.o. Tobyhanna
man was sitting. He was arrested
on possession and drug dealing
charges.
PSP-L had the duty to pick up
two students, 17 and 18, who
arrived at Palmerton High School
before 8 a.m. on 3-1 smelling of
alcoholic beverages. The boys
admitted to drinking alcoholic
beverages, and are charged via
District Court for underage drink-
ing.

With the heavy snow, there
were plenty of accidents this
week, with some of the trucks left
in the snow in Interstate 80ʼs

Trying to pass a tractor trailer
on snowy Interstate 80 did not go
well for an area woman and her
Pontiac Grand Am. She managed
to slide into the truck, then
bounce off into the median. No
one was hurt. She was ticketed –

8:17 a.m. on 2-26 when she lost
control of it on the snow covered

hurt, her son was not. She did not
need EMS transport. The car was
towed out, PSP-L.
2-26 11:15 a.m. PSP-F reports
