items pertaining to the hospi-
tality industry, to the delight of
many listeners.
The night’s meeting also
brought out several rather vocal
opinions by board members re-
garding general fund budget
discussions. With a preliminary
budget approval deadline of
May 31, and final on June 30
quickly approaching, tension
grew high in the board room.
Business manager Joe Co-
lozza also made the board
aware of an impending $300
per day fine that would be im-
posed on the district by the
state for failure to meet the
deadline.
The board addressed pro-
posed modifications to the pre-
liminary budget. Moyotte
BOXHOLDER
stressed that “It would be inap-
propriate to present a budget
that you can’t even rely on.”
Board member Meg Dilger
emphasized the need to make
immediate cuts in the budget.
Dilger made a motion to revisit
budget scenario #1 presented
in April for a $3.6 million reduc-
tion. President Henry Bockel-
man reminded Dilger of her
strong opposition in April to cut-
ting teaching positions, which
was part of scenerio #1. Bock-
elman expressed his opposition
to approaching the teachers,
with whom a sense of job se-
curity was instilled in April, with
the possibility of losing job se-
curity in June.

about local government
by Jeanine Hofbauer
Fourth grade students at the
Tobyhanna Elementary Center
had the opportunity to attend a
meeting of the Tobyhanna
Township Board of Supervisors
on May 10 at 9:30 a. m. at the
TEC building. Supervisors,
along with additional township
officials held their monthly
meeting at the TEC building to
accommodate participation of
the entire 4th grade class.
Teacher (and planner) Patricia
Dewitsky said, “Due to budget
cuts in Harrisburg, transporta-
tion to the township building
was not possible. We appreci-
ate that they [twp. supervisors]
would take the time out of their
day to reach out to the kids. ”
Dewitsky also noted the atten-
dance of State Representative
Mario Scavello at the school
last week adding to current les-
sons on national, state and
local government structures.
Students quietly listened as

to eat.
Milford has several nice restau-

about stopping at a bakery weʼd
passed on our way than looking for
a sit-down breakfast. Still, Seth

We really should have aban-

weʼd been watching Cakes &

Greentown for months. We couldnʼt
resist.
Housed in an old post office, the
business has relocated from East
Stroudsburg. The beautiful display
cases were filled with tempting
treats, all made from scratch with
natural ingredients.
We sampled three, though we
didnʼt eat them all immediately. First
was a cherry-almond pastry that
was just terrific, not too sweet, with
flaky crust and plenty of flavor,
topped with slivered almonds and
filled with tart cherries and almond
paste.
A sticky bun looked too good to
resist, and it too was special.
Though it was properly sticky and
chewy, it didnʼt have that over-
whelming sugary quality that some-
times makes it impossible to take
more than a few bites of a sticky
bun. Because it was made with
croissant dough, the bread had a

Seth’s Sightings
We started last weekend early, just
a touch after dawn on Saturday, with a
trip to deliver association newsletters
to clients near Milford. This was a trip
that could have been squeezed into
the back end of Friday, but the timing
would have been too tight for comfort
for such a long drive, and I wanted to
enjoy the trip.
It was an occasionally rainy journey
into the highest reaches of the
Poconos, where we could see that
spring was still working to get things
started. Many trees were barely in leaf.
Itʼs going to take a couple of weeks of
warm weather to have them catch up
with our area. Warm weather, not like
this weekendʼs weather. Saturday
night we needed gloves. Sunday, we
experienced freezing dirizzle and even
saw a few snow flurries. The radio sta-
tion in Jeffersonville, New York, was
predicting some snow overnight in the
Catskills.
Our deliveries went smoothly. Early
is certainly the best time to drive
through Milford, which gets a heavy
flow of traffic along its main streets at
peak hours. Our trip even had time for
a good breakfast.
The dayʼs main activity was an af-
ternoon and evening at Knoebels
amusement park—which would have
been easy had we only fit that in. As it
was, we headed west to the park a lit-
tle bit tired.
Thereʼs a major construction project
going on to fix an old concrete bridge
south of the borough of Catawissa.
The bridge has a single lane regulated
by traffic signal right now, and on a
busy Saturday, everyone expected this
to back traffic up. While some folks
recommended taking the next exit and
going to Knoebels through Danville,
Ruth and I were aware of another way
by Seth Isenberg
in, due west from Hazleton using
mostly marked rural routes.
Weʼd left late, no surprise there, and
made a stop on the way, but still ar-
rived before everyone else coming
from our direction (and weʼd missed
one turn at the end, too, costing us 15
minutes). Our Route is Interstate 81 to
Route 924 west to Route 339 then
through Ringtown to the Aristes Road,
to Aristes and Route 42, then north on
Route 42 to Numidia, taking Middle
Road to Pine Swamp Road directly to
the parking lot. While taking Ringtown
Mountain Road to Numidia may look
more direct, donʼt do it. Itʼs narrow,
windy and hilly.
At the park, we gathered our group
together and shared some fun with
various people over the course of the
next five hours. We enjoyed a last ride
and a last ice cream, despite the cold
temperature (and it had started to
rain). Our ride home was quick – a
good thing – we were worn out from
our long day. Before turning in, we took
in our plants.
The wind gusts on Saturday were
impressive. There were branches and
leave down on the roads to and from
the amusement park.
Our group was set up in part of a
picnic pavilion, which we used as a
gathering and checking in point. I had
gone off to see if anyone could be
found as far as the bandshell, and
Ruth had stayed behind at the meet-
ing point. The wind had been shaking
loose branches, pine cones, acorns
and more, when there was an enor-
mous BANG nearby. Looking for its
source, Ruth saw that a tree had come
down on the roof of the next pavilion
over, lodging in its far end, away from
a group that had been having a very
good time with a wedding shower
there. The beauty of Knoebels is its
many trees, so it was sad to see this
one go, as the park crews had it down
and cut up within a couple of hours.
Weʼll be back to Knoebels in a few
weeks.
Sunday morning was a good time to
be inside. When we left the house to-
ward mid-day, temperatures had
warmed to the 40s. There was a
planned bike-a-thon and bike race at
Pocono Raceway, and we headed
over to take a photo. Standing in the
middle of the infield, enduring a cold
wind, I took my pictures quickly, and
retreated into our warm van. Still, we
figured if there was a sheltered area

to resolve the problem, then you can go in per-
son to the County Board of Elections where a
judge from the Court of Common Pleas will be
on duty to resolve election problems. Alterna-
tively you can ask for and vote by provisional
ballot. If it is later determined that you were eli-
gible to vote your ballot will be counted. You will

ment, paycheck, or government check. If you do
not have any acceptable ID then you will be al-
lowed to vote by provisional ballot.

*CERTIFICATION NOTE*
As of the publication date of this guide, the
slate of candidates listed below is accurate
based upon the Pennsylvania Department of
Stateʼs Bureau of Elections unofficial ballot.
UNITED STATES SENATOR
(Vote for one)
JOB DESCRIPTION:
Congress, the legislative branch of the fed-
eral government, is composed of two houses,
the Senate and the House of Representatives.
A majority vote of both houses is required to
pass a law. The Senate, made up of two mem-
bers from each of the 50 states, also has the
power to approve treaties and confirm presiden-
tial appointments. Terms are staggered, with
one-third of the membership up for election
every two years.
TERM: 6 years
SALARY: $174,000
Question: “In this time of high unemploy-
ment, what are the most important things
that should be done to improve our nation’s
economy?”
DEMOCRATIC
JOE SESTAK
Newtown Square
Website: http://www.joesestak.com
D.O.B.: 12.2.1954
EDUCATION: Cardinal OʼHara H.S. 1970;
U.S. Naval Academy, B.S. 1974; Harvard Uni-
versity, M.A., 1980; Harvard University, Ph.D.,
1984
OCCUPATION: Member of Congress (PA 7th
District)
QUALIFICATIONS: Member of Congress first
elected in 2006 after completing a 31-year mili-
tary career in the U.S. Navy and having risen to
the rank of 3-star Admiral.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: To strengthen our
economy, we need to create jobs by investing in
small businesses. That is why I have called for
enhanced SBA lending and tax relief for small
firms. My JOBS Act would provide a hiring tax
credit to small businesses that hire new workers,
helping to create 5 million jobs in the next 2
years. We know that small businesses have led
economic expansions and we must now put that
knowledge to work.
ARLEN SPECTER
Philadelphia
Website: http://www.specter2010.com
D.O.B.: 2.12.1930
EDUCATION: B.A. University of Pennsylva-
nia; J.D., Yale Law School
OCCUPATION: U.S. Senator
QUALIFICATIONS: District Attorney of
Philadelphia, 1966-1974; U.S. Senator, 19981-
Present
ANSWER TO QUESTION: It is necessary to
distribute stimulus funding quickly to create 2.1
million jobs. I urge passage of my SBA lending
bill which would use TARP funding to increase
credit to small businesses. My funding for dredg-
ing the Port of Philadelphia will create over
100,000 new jobs. I led the fight to increase NIH
funding to $30 billion annually plus $10 billion in
the stimulus.
REPUBLICAN
K. PEG LUKSIK
Johnstown
Website: http://www.pegluksik.com
D.O.B.: 8.11.1955
EDUCATION: B.S. in Special Education and
Elementary Education; PhD in Humanities
OCCUPATION: Small Business Owner
QUALIFICATIONS: Political adviser, Presi-
dent Reaganʼs Commission on the Family;
founding board of the Pennsylvania Leadership
Conference and Pennsylvania Family Institute;
Founder, charity to help single-low-income par-
ents escape the welfare cycle, awarded National
Point of Light.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: Unlock energy by
allowing states to develop their natural re-
sources. In Pennsylvania that means coal, natu-
ral gas, and oil. To do this we must remove
Washington from involvement in what should be
a state prerogative. Revamp our federal tax code
to stop the strangulation of businesses. Initiate
steps to stop Chinaʼs “cheating” in trade and re-
store fair trade practices to give American busi-
ness a level playing field in the international
marketplace.
PAT TOOMEY
Zionsville
Website: http://www.ToomeyForSenate.com
D.O.B.: 11.17.1961
EDUCATION: B.A., Political Philosophy, Har-
vard University, 1984
OCCUPATION: Small businessman
QUALIFICATIONS: Representative, U.S.
House of Representatives, 1998-2004; Candi-
date U.S. Senate, Pennsylvania, 2004; Presi-
dent, Club for Growth, 2005-2009
ANSWER TO QUESTION: All across the
Commonwealth, hard-working Pennsylvanians
are struggling to make ends meet and provide
for their families. But the approach taken by
politicians in Washington is not working. Instead,
the government should be making it less expen-
sive and easier for businesses to hire people. It
can do this by cutting taxes and reducing ex-
cessive regulation. In the Senate, I will fight for
lower taxes that are integral to our economic
freedom and the economic prosperity this coun-
try deserves.
GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA
The Journal of the Pocono Plateau, Week of May 13, 2010–PAGE 15
(C) Copyright 2010 LWVPA - CEF
(Vote for one)
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The Governor, as the chief executive officer
of the Commonwealth, administers the laws and
manages the financial affairs of the state, has
extensive appointive powers, and may approve
or veto every bill passed by both houses of the
General Assembly. The Governor may serve
only two terms in succession.
Term: 4 years
Salary: $174,194
Question: To protect the public interest in the
reliable delivery of essential Government serv-
ices what steps will you take to advocate and im-
plement a timely, efficient, and effective budget
process and one that doesnʼt rely on balancing
the bottom line with short-sighted policy deci-
sions?

DAN ONORATO
Pittsburgh
Website: http://www.voteonorato.com
D.O.B.: 2.05.1961
EDUCATION: Undergraduate degree, Penn
State University, 1983 (B.S. Accounting); Law
degree, University of Pittsburgh Law School,
1989
OCCUPATION: Chief Executive of Allegheny
Co.
QUALIFICATIONS: Professional background
as accountant and lawyer; member, Pittsburgh
City Council (1992-2000), Allegheny County
Controller 2000-2004); Allegheny County Exec-
utive (2004-present).
ANSWER TO QUESTION: Our Common-
wealth is facing a budget crisis and needs expe-
rienced leadership to ensure fiscal responsibility
while making critical investments that strengthen
the economy. I proposed a reform plan to finish
the budget process earlier and permanently
withhold the Governor and Legislatureʼs pay if it
is ever late. I have run the stateʼs second-largest
County and made the tough decisions necessary
to lead—and I am the only candidate who has
made real reform a reality.
JACK WAGNER
Pittsburgh
Website: http://www.jackwagner. org
D.O.B.: 1.04.1948
EDUCATION: Indiana University of PA, B.S.
Safety Management, 1974
OCCUPATION: Auditor General
QUALIFICATIONS: Auditor General since
2005; State Senator, 10 years (Allegheny Co.);
Pittsburgh City Councilman, 10 years (President
4 years); Certified Safety Professional, 6 years;
Marine Corps, Vietnam combat veteran; Hus-
band and Father, 2 Children.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: As Auditor Gen-
eral, I know firsthand where the waste, fraud,
and abuse are in government programs and how
to make those programs operate more effec-
tively. I will continue to identify significant sav-
ings that will support vital government services
without tax increases. I will pass a responsible
state budget on time every year. I wonʼt use vul-
nerable Pennsylvanians as pawns in the budget
process, and state elected officials shouldnʼt get
paid until the budget is passed.
ANTHONY HARDY WILLIAMS
Philadelphia
Website: http://www.williams4governor.com
D.O.B.: 2.28.1957
EDUCATION: 1979, B.S. Economics,
Franklin & Marshall College
OCCUPATION: Pennsylvania State Senator,
8th District
QUALIFICATIONS: PA State Senator, 8th
District since 1998; PA State Representative,
191st Legislative District, 1988-1998; entrepre-
neur, vending company; mid-level executive,
PepsiCo; economics analyst, Acumenics Re-
search and Technology; numerous community
and service awards; founding president of a
charter school.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: Communications
and consequences are key in this regard. The
governor and legislature must be fully engaged
from the very beginning of the process and nei-
ther should be allowed to collect their salaries
after the dust settles. If the budget is late, they
should not be paid—nor allowed to recoup those
dollars later. It would focus the process. Those
making these decisions should experience the
pain of inaction, not those relying on the deci-
sion-makers.

D.O.B.: 09.03.1950
EDUCATION: 1972, Boston University, B.A.;

OCCUPATION: Montgomery Co. Commis-
sioner
QUALIFICATIONS: PA House of Represen-
tatives, 8 years; Co. Commissioner, 10 years;
U.S. House of Representatives, 6 years.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: We need a Leg-
islative Budget Office to give non-partisan analy-
sis, and minimize partisan disagreements over
the cost of legislation. Legislators need an unbi-
ased analysis of these costs. The General As-
sembly ended the year with a $201.4 million
legislative surplus. This is unconscionable. I will
veto any budget that includes WAMs, legislative
or executive slush funds, or stopgap measures,
and I will call on the legislature to return any sur-
plus to the general fund.

D.O.B.: 6.19.1949
EDUCATION: B.A. Political Science,

OCCUPATION: Attorney General of PA

Co.; Captain, National Guard, 28th Infantry Divi-
sion; Teacher, Pine Grove Area H.S.; Assistant
U.S. Attorney, WDPA; U.S. Attorney, WDPA;
Chairman, PCCD; Corporate Counsel
ANSWER TO QUESTION: For too long,
Pennsylvaniaʼs budget has been a tool to serve
the agendas of Harrisburg insiders rather than a
responsible spending plan to serve the taxpay-
ers. The late budget each of the last seven years
is a result of the current administrationʼs willing-
ness to use the budget process as a means to
drive out-of-control spending. As Governor,
every line item will be scrutinized so that every
expenditure serves an important public policy
goal with measureable results.
SAMUEL E. ROHRER
Reading

D.O.B.: 8.11.1955
EDUCATION: Bob Jones University, B.S.,

OCCUPATION: State Representative
QUALIFICATIONS: Marketing Director,
Graco Childrenʼs Produces-15 years; State Rep-
resentative-18 years; Republican Chairman
House Finance Committee (current); Republican
Chairman Game and Fisheries Committee (for-
mer).
ANSWER TO QUESTION: The state budget
has become an auction for special interests, not
the funding process for priorities. The first reform
is to prevent a governor or legislator from using
tax dollars to buy votes to pass a budget—this
changes the entire incentive structure. Second,
the governor needs to follow the Pennsylvania
Constitutionʼs plain language by preparing not
one, but five consecutive budgets. Planning far
beyond the political cycle was a wise decision by
our founders.
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
(Vote for one)
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The Lt. Governor will be elected jointly with
the Governor in the General Election. Candi-
dates are nominated separately in the Primary.
The Lt. Governor is President of the Senate, but
has no vote except in case of a tie. In case of
death, conviction or impeachment, failure to
qualify, resignation, or other disability of the Gov-
ernor, the powers, duties and salaries of the of-
fice are assumed by the Lt. Governor for the
remainder of the term or until the disability is re-
moved.
TERM: 4 years
SALARY: $146,926
Question: To protect the public interest in the
reliable delivery of essential Government serv-
ices what steps will you take to advocate and im-
plement a timely, efficient, and effective budget
process and one that doesnʼt rely on balancing
the bottom line with short-sighted policy deci-

OCCUPATION: Retired, effective August 1,

½ years-January 1988
QUALIFICATIONS: Trial Attorney in Al-
legheny Co. (state and federal courts) 14 years;

licitor, Allegheny Co. Controller-5 years;

state government); Member/Chair, PA Judicial
Auditing Agency—11 years; Member (Supreme
Court Designee) PA Interbranch Commission;
Pittsburgh University School of Law—Distin-
guished Alumni Award
ANSWER TO QUESTION: As Lt. Governor I
would support a policy that budget preparation
for the next year should begin immediately after
the close of the current budget year. State agen-
cies should be required to forward budget re-
quests within 60 days for review by the Budget
Office and Governor; the Governor should send
a budget to the legislature no later than Novem-
ber 30; and legislative review and enactment
should take place within 60-90 days.

EDUCATION: Trade School degree in car-
pentry; licensed air conditioning technician
OCCUPATION: State Representative—
77th District (Centre Co.) and business owner
with wife.
QUALIFICATIONS: While passionate about
the reform message, before making this decision
I also took a careful look at the duties of Lt. Gov-
ernor. My background is well-suited for the posi-
tion. The Lt. Governor is responsible for the PA
Emergency Management Agency (PEMA). As a
county commissioner, I worked very closely with
Emergency Management Director Randy
Rockey and his staff to learn what their needs
are in times of distress.
ANSWER TO QUESTION: Last fall I brought
together some of the best minds at a forum.
They provided solid ideas on budget reform. We
can tailor a plan that places our essential serv-
ices on solid, long-term footing. We just need to
dismiss the machine politics and elect servant
leaders willing to get the job done.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: I will create an in-
dependent agency to evaluate the cost of each
legislative proposal. Loosely modeled after the
Congressional Budget Office, this independent
group will put a ʻfresh set of eyesʼ on each new
legislative initiative that will require taxpayer re-
sources. We ought to treat tax dollars like our
own and not settle for just opinion on how much
these proposals will cost. The taxpayers deserve
more information and they ought to know what
their legislatorsʼ ideas are going to cost them.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: Spending should
be limited to core functions of government; pro-
tecting the safety and individual rights of citizens
and providing public goods, those which clearly
benefit all citizens such as public safety and in-
frastructure. Pennsylvania should adopt a bi-an-
nual budget process that is zero-based. This
would cut back the wasted time performing a
yearly budget. Zero based budgeting would lead
to more efficient allocation of resources as it is
based on actual needs and benefits.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: The recurring
“budget crisis” we witness annually would be
avoided with a two-year or longer budget time
frame or process. In a Governorʼs administration
of four years, this would constitute two budget
processes or less, not four. The cost reduction
of the process itself and the allowance of a
“more focused, long-term analysis of the effec-
tiveness of government programs and tax dol-
lars” stated by Tom Corbett, is needed.

objectives. This can only be reliably accom-
plished at a limited citizenʼs constitutional con-

all members of the legislature and the Governor

rience in cutting budgets—our 2010 budget is
lower than our 2008 budget—with the same
common sense that small businesses use to cre-
ate their budgets: live within your means, set pri-

ANSWER TO QUESTION: My main cam-
paign theme is respect for seniors and in partic-
ular, the often horrendous conditions at personal
care homes. On the budget, I have two ideas:
(1) legislators should not be paid until there is a
budget, and they will not be paid back pay once
one is approved; and (2) for non-legislative
workers and contractors, spending continues at
last yearʼs level until a budget is approved.

ANSWER TO QUESTION: The best way to
create jobs is to reduce the high taxes and bur-
densome overregulation of small businesses.
High taxes and overregulation handcuff small
business owners. Business owners cannot hire
new workers because of uncertainty over pend-
ing taxes and regulatory policies. Huge stimulus
packages are not the answer because, as we
have seen, they do not work. Instead, the gov-
ernment should cut wasteful spending in order
to cut business taxes. Cutting taxes will spur
growth.

Police Beat
PA State Police -Lehighton
troopers arrested a fugitive wanted
in New Jersey on drug charges
after a traffic stop 12:30 p.m. on 5-
2.
Early in the morning of 5-7,
Pocono Mountain Regional Police
became aware of a police pursuit
on Route 115 near Wilkes-Barre
for a hit and run accident where
the driver had fled at high speed.
Plains Twp. Police had ended the
chase. It was not long before the
car showed up at Blakeslee Cor-
ners. PMRPD pursued but again,
the car went off at unsafe speeds
and the chase ended. About 5
a.m., the car was seen on Inter-
state 380 stopped alongside the
road. The driver was seen walking
toward Route 940. PMRPD went
and arrested Raheem S. Johnson,
25, of Wilkes-Barre. He had mari-
juana and crack cocaine with him,
plus $706 in cash. He was later
turned over to Plains Twp. Police
for active warrants there, and
PMRPD is preparing more war-
rants for his crimes in this county.
PMRPD detectives were
searching for a Mt. Pocono area
man who was seen buying items
on stolen credit cards (from a Mt.
Pocono womanʼs car on 4-9). The
man, identified as Ahmed Darwish,
was seen buying items at the Kwik
Mart in Pocono Summit and Wal-
Mart in Mt. Pocono on 4-9.
PMRPD obtained an arrest war-
rant for him for forgery and access
device fraud, theft and more. Then
they got a search warrant and at
8:20 a.m. on 5-8, he was arrested.
A search of the house also found
drug paraphernalia. Darwish was
taken to the Monroe County jail
and arraigned there via video. The
on-duty District Judge set bail for
him at $25,000—which he failed to
post.
5-11 6:53 p.m. a 47 y.o. Kunkle-
town man had a mental meltdown,
starting when he fired a shot in the
air to scare off two women and a
girl who came close to his home.
PSP-L was called, and after some
negotiation, the man was arrested,
charged with terroristic threats and
more. At the Lehighton Barracks in
Carbon County, the man spit on
the floor, exposed himself repeat-
edly to male Troopers, threatened
by Seth Isenberg
Tunkhannock Twp. Volunteer Fire
Co. responded to a report of a
house fire on Tahoe Trail in Sierra
View (Effort Mountain). PSP Fire
Marshal was called to the scene
and is investigating.
PSP-L reports dealing with a
road-rage incident off Route 248 at
9:50 a.m. on 5-6.
3:55 p.m. on 5-6, a Gilbert-area
woman walking to the bus stop to
meet her children noticed a 54 y.o.
man in his yard, naked. No contact
was made between the two. The
man was identified by police and
was charged with indecent expo-
sure. The victim did not press
charges at this time, PSP-L.
Overnight 5-6 to 7, someone
smashed a mailbox at a home in
Azalea Lane, near Brodheadsville,
PSP – Fern Ridge.
Overnight 5-7 to 8, someone
smashed the rear window of an
SUV parked at a home on Owl
Hollow Road in Saylorsburg, PSP-
L. There have been other similar
incidents in that area over the past
weeks.
About 3 p.m. on 5-8, PSP-F was
called to the Monroe Plaza in
Brodheadsville to deal with a fight
between two sets of sisters, two
from Blakeslee, and two from Mt.
Vernon, NY, who began an argu-
ment, then started to slap each
other and pull hair. All will be
charged.
Some time between 6:30 p.m.
on 5-9 and 5:30 p.m. on 5-10,
someone broke two windows at a
home on Route 115 at Gilbert
Road in Effort, PSP-F.
PSP-L is looking for Emily
Shook 16, missing from her
Palmerton area home since 5-8,
and Tara Lynn Searfoss 23, miss-
ing from her Lehighton home since
4-13. Contact police at 610 377-
4270 if you have any information.
PSP-L reports that someone
found a large black dog, possibly
a mix of Labrador and Rottweiler,
wandering on Lonesome Lane
south of Route 209 on 5-12.

cycle from a Blue Mountain Vil-

was done inside the home.
PMRPD was called to the Dollar
General store in Blakeslee to ar-
rest a 20 y.o. Albrightsville woman
for shoplifting at 2 p.m. on 5-10. A
background check found that she
had been arrested for shoplifting
last year, AND had an arrest war-
rant outstanding. She was taken
before the on-duty Magistrate, and
then sent to the county jail due to
the arrest warrant.
A Tobyhanna man returning to
his Dodge Caravan parked at the

not find it on 5-10. He had left it
there on 5-8. PMRPD is looking for
