Ice Harvest brings generations together to relive history
by Jeanine Hofbauer
With 13 inches of ice, Toby-
hanna Millpond #1’s Annual Ice
Harvest continued its tradition
January 15 offering a piece of
history to young and old. Frigid
temperatures did not discour-
age a large crowd eager to par-
ticipate in and observe the
historic ice industry techniques
for utilizing the lake’s resources.
The Ice Harvest re-enact-
ment, now in its 18th year,
serves as an annual reunion for
Pocono Mountain Regional PD
steps closer to accreditation
by Jeanine Hofbauer
The January 11 session of
the Pocono Mountain Regional
Police Commission began with
the 2011 reorganization meet-
ing. The group voted unani-
mously to re-appoint Roy Gross
as chairman with John Kerrick
as vice-chairman. Bob Hutchins
was re-elected secretary and
Francis DePiano treasurer. The
re-appointment of Harry Cole-
man as solicitor was approved.
Harry Smith will serve as the
Police Pension Board represen-
tative with Francis DePiano as
the Non-Uniform board mem-
ber.
Roy Gross swore in Acting
Sergeant Kris Vogt as Ser-
geant. The officer had been al-
ready fulfilling the position’s
duties for the department. Chief
Harry Lewis stated, “Vogt is
doing a phenomenal job.”
After a short break the busi-
ness meeting continued with
Sergeant Vogt discussing the
update of department firearms.

claimed the first ice house that
had been in operation at the
site since it was built by the
Pocono Mountain Ice Company
in 1895. William Leonard, eager
to pass along the heritage

working in this significant local
industry as a boy, began his

guns at $250 per gun will result
in a substantial savings. They
will purchase 41 of the new
Generation IV model Glocks at
a cost just below $6,000. Lewis
advised, “The cost is contained
in our firearms budget.” De-
Piano asked, “How confident
are you with the new gun?” Vogt
elaborated on meetings with
the manufacturer rep, alleviat-
ing concerns over the model’s
effectiveness.

Coolbaugh Township’s Bicen-
tennial celebration. Leonard
died in 1993 before achieving
his goal. Bill Leonard Jr., joined
by siblings Joe and MaryLou,
carried out their father’s plan,
finishing construction of the
present ice house in November
1993. Local residents and or-
ganizations contributed to the
project, successfully holding
the inaugural ice harvest on
February 19, 1994.
Annual attendees are en-
couraged to participate in the
tradition using turn of the cen-
tury harvesting tools, with an
array of other items on display
inside a restored Boston &
Maine boxcar representing the
role of railroads to the ice in-
dustry. Passengers on a steam-
powered train from Steamtown

the harvest for a three-hour lay-

sion he was developing a
spreadsheet generated from
reports to aid in visualization.
Lieutenant Chris Wagner pro-
vided an update on the accred-
itation process for the
department, stating they are at
the point where assessments
come in. A mock assessment is
planned for January 26 as a
practice run to ensure all poli-
cies are in place and to report
any deficiencies. The two-day
compliance review is expected
for February. Upon satisfactory
completion the PD hopes to be
accredited by the spring. Lewis
explained the benefits of Wag-
ner’s work as it will result in a
reduction in insurance premi-
ums and aid in lawsuits and lit-
igation.
Commissioners provided
clarification for the Chief on
their decision to place a cap of
$2,500 on capital spending.
Hutchins said, “The cap is for
new capital purchases that
were not in the budget.”
Lewis informed the Commis-
sion of the impending computer
lease expiration this spring. The
department’s server update is
expected to cost all of the
$40,000 that was budgeted.
Lewis said non-budgeted funds

had been gradually utilized to
purchase the computers in
cars. He explained the objective
was to purchase computers for
the remaining 10 cruisers at a
cost of $3,700 each. Hutchins
said, “$3,700 seems high; did
you send out an RFP to com-
pare prices?” Lieutenant Will
Laverty advised, “We did a lot
of research at seminars.” Lewis
added, “We already have this
brand installed in some of our
cars and need to be consistent.”
Funds totaling $6,000 are
budgeted for snow removal at
the headquarters. Lewis sug-
gested asking Tobyhanna
Township to consider plowing
the site as one of their township
obligations. John Kerrick of To-
byhanna advised, “We have to
plow the roads first.” Gross
added, “I don’t think it’s fair to
have Tobyhanna Township have
to deal with it,” as the Regional
PD is the obligation of other
municipalities. Hutchins sug-
gested the use of RFPs for pric-
ing of removal. Kerrick
emphasized the need for back-
ground checks and certificates
of insurance. The department
plans to obtain quotes from
three area companies.
The PMRPD commission
meets next on February 8 at
the department facility on
Route 940 in Pocono Summit.
Monroe County continues plans for 175th Anniversary

The Monroe County 175th
Anniversary Committee held its
monthly meeting on January 13
to continue plans for a memo-
rable celebration. Commis-
sioner Suzanne McCool

bers of committees such as

McCool announced the win-

Unity Sunday at Salem UCC
The public is cordially invited
to join with members of the Top
O’ the Mountain Ecumenical
Council congregations as they
gather to pray for Christian
Unity at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan-
uary 23 at Salem United
Church of Christ, just off Old
Route 940 in Pocono Pines. Fa-
ther John Boyle of St. Maximil-
ian Kolbe Parish will deliver the
homily.
This Ecumenical Sunday of-
fers an opportunity to recall
that, while our Christian
churches are united in baptism,
and while we recognize each
other’s ecclesial communities
as sources of vitality and vision,
we also painfully acknowledge
that we do not yet celebrate the
fullness of Christian unity. We
gather to pray for the time when
our full, visible unity may
emerge through the power of
the Holy Spirit as a foretaste of
the Kingdom where God’s love
reigns eternal.
As a symbol of our common
social outreach through the
work of the Ecumenical Coun-
cil, participants are invited to
bring non-perishable items for
the Ecumenical Food Pantry,
which is located at the Christ
the King Family Center in

Shawnee Playhouse to present
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
The Shawnee Playhouse will
premiere Edward Albeeʼs most
intoxicating and haunting play
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
on Saturday, January 22.
A classic of the American
stage, Virginia Woolf focuses
on George and Martha, a his-
tory professor and his wife,
who invite a new young cam-
pus couple into a night of vi-
cious games and verbal
warfare. Amidst savage ex-
changes and drunken hilarity,
a window of dysfunction re-
veals devastating truths.
Winner of the 1963 Tony
Award for Best Play, Virginia
Woolf was Edward Albeeʼs first
full-length play and his first to
appear on Broadway. It is con-
sidered by many to be his
greatest dramatic achieve-
ment, as well as a central work
in contemporary theatre.
Directed by Jan Julia, the
veteran ensemble includes
Chrystyna Janak in the role of

Dining Out
Turkey Dinner

by Ruth Isenberg
Dining Out doesn’t have to
mean dining fancy. Seth and I
found time to visit the Silver
Ridge Hunting Club in Weath-
erly on Monday night for a first-
class turkey dinner. These
fund-raising events are held on
a regular basis, so they’re fair
“game” for a review.
And samples of game dishes
were also available, allowing us
to taste some dishes we would-
n’t normally run across. We ar-

serving time, so we missed out
on the moose and caribou stew.
We also missed the venison
meatloaf and venison meat-
balls, items we’ve sampled and
enjoyed from previous dinners.
But we both had helpings of a
venison roast cooked in a red
wine sauce with carrots and
onions— rich and delicious.
Seth really liked the venison
chili, too, though it had too
much green pepper for me to
try it.
Besides, I had plenty of deli-

asked for mainly dark meat,

white meat. We both got what
we wanted, turkey that was
moist and flavorful. No dry bird
here! The stuffing serving was
also generous, mounds of
bread flavored with celery and
onions, which we covered with
rich turkey gravy.
The gravy also went onto the
homemade mashed potatoes,
and we added corn and green
beans to complete our plates.
Birch beer on tap served as
the beverage, and there were
several kinds of homemade
cake for dessert. We both
chose a small square of a light
(and delicious) carrot cake with
cream cheese icing.
At $9, this meal was a real
bargain. The Silver Ridge Hunt-
ing Club holds various dinners
throughout the year, as well as
a monthly breakfast at their
clubhouse. Proceeds support

Out in the Open by Alex Zidock
Doves
Mourning Doves. However,
we might as well group them in
with pigeons because they are
so closely related, and usually
people call the smaller of the
species doves and the larger
birds pigeons.
Doves are found all over the
world except in the most arid
places like some very hot
deserts. They have plump bod-
ies and their head always
seems to look too small. Usually
you see them perched on wires
or pecking at gravel or seed on
the ground. You won’t see them
in thickly wooded areas. They
are powerful flyers and can
make sudden ascents and de-
scents and have little problem
dodging obstacles.
Several species of doves and
pigeons are used for food.
Doves are the most hunted
NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying
moves to Saturday at Pocono Raceway
The starting lineup for both
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
events at Pocono Raceway in
2011 will be determined on Sat-
urday, Raceway Officials an-
nounced today. “The move to
Saturday qualifying, tradition-
ally held on Friday, will allow
more race fans to enjoy the
competition to determine the
pole position and the other
starting positions ,” stated
Raceway president, Brandon
Igdalsky.”Our fans will enjoy a
full day of racing action as
Sprint Cup qualifying joins an
already exciting Saturday
schedule at Pocono Raceway.”
Qualifying for the June 12,
Pocono 500, NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series event, will be held
on Saturday, June 11. The
Pocono 200, ARCA Racing Se-
ries presented by Menards
event, will follow qualifying.
The August 7, Pennsylvania
500, NASCAR Sprint Cup Se-
ries event weekend will feature
two sets of qualifying and two
species of any animal in North
America both because of their
erratic flying ability and because
their plump breast makes such
great table fare. All over the
world they are hunted, and in
many countries flocks are
raised for food. Doves taste
good.
