Music Over the Mountain brings big band competition to Pocono Mountain Stadium
Submitted by
Dorothy Sirolly
Music over the Mountain
was held on a beautiful balmy
fall evening this past Saturday,
October 3 at the Pocono
Mountain Stadium, hosted by
Pocono Mountain East Cardi-
nal Music Boosters. The sea-
son for competitions is now in
full swing for the high school
students while supporting their
football teams at every game.
It is estimated that thousands
of adults in our county have
either played an instrument in
a marching band themselves
or have been a band parent.

POCONO MOUNTAIN EAST HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND

Bands are an integral part of
our local history. It is with pride
that Pocono Mountain School
District community speaks of
all aspects of their music pro-
grams, both vocal and instru-
mental.
On Saturday night it was all
uniforms, brass, woodwinds,
drums and pit instruments of
xylophones, guitars, and tym-
pani. The air was filled not only
with music but the colors of
giant flags whipping in the
wind being thrown high by the
well-practiced color guard. The

ed through the years into artis-
tic dancers while matching the
rhythms of the music. The
sounds are accented by swirls
of color or the snap of rifles
being tossed into the air and
caught in athletic movements.
Band members and guard
practice long hours to gain the
precision of memorized posi-
tions as they rapidly weave
through each other. In the past
individual football players and
cheerleaders have come to
these competitions to have an
opportunity to view the band’s
performance and show their
respect by cheering their high
school bands.
MOTM brought 10 high
schools to the competition—
Indian Valley, Schuylkill Haven,
Pittston Area, East Strouds-

Scavello supports keeping host municipality revenues
in Monroe County for infrastructure improvements
The following statement was
issued by Rep. Mario M.
Scavello, a member of the House
Appropriations Committee, to ex-
plain his reasoning for an
amendment he offered Sunday
night to Senate Bill 711, legisla-
tion expanding gambling in
Pennsylvania to include table
games:
“Monroe County’s population
has nearly doubled in the past
two decades, but we are still only
listed as a fifth-class county in
terms of population, and this dis-
tinction was reflected in the origi-
nal gaming law. My concern is
that Monroe County was singled
out to share revenues with sur-
rounding counties because we
are a fifth-class county, which
means money generated from
casino activity in Monroe must be
shared under the law with neigh-
boring counties that do not bear
the brunt of the stresses on local
roads and infrastructure, and
some of those neighboring coun-
ties are also host counties to their
own casinos.
“In Act 71, which created casi-
no gaming in Pennsylvania, host

fifth-class counties were guaran-
teed 1 percent of the gross termi-
nal revenue of any casino locat-
ed in their boundaries. That
money goes into a restricted rev-
enue account in the Department
of Community and Economic
Development (DCED) for eco-
nomic development and commu-
nity improvements in Monroe
County. My amendment would
have expanded the permitted
uses to include infrastructure,
such as highways, interchanges,
roads and storm water improve-
ments.
“Act 71 also said that 1 percent
of the gross terminal revenue
would be shared with six neigh-
boring counties—Carbon, Lack-
awanna, Luzerne, Northampton,
Pike and Wayne—in a restricted
DCED account. My amendment
would have capped the revenue
that each neighboring county
could receive at $1 million. It
would have kept more money in
Monroe County, the host county.
It also stated that other counties
in which a gaming facility is locat-
ed would no longer get a share of
revenue generated in Monroe

“Representative John Siptroth
opposed my amendment on the
premise that the Pike County
portion of his district might get
less than it is getting now, but
under current law, Pike County is
not guaranteed $1 million.
Without my amendment, the
county could lose money as a
result. Siptroth could have offered
language that would guarantee
Pike County could exceed the $1
million cap if gross terminal rev-
enues was high enough to permit
that AND supported language

improvements. His opposition did
guarantee that less money would
be coming into the Monroe
County portion of the 189th
District. His opposition to my
amendment does mean that
money from Monroe continues to
flow to Luzerne and North-
ampton counties, each of which

It’s squash season again!
We’ve been buying young
spaghetti squash for a couple
of weeks now at Sernak’s
Farm Market near our home.
They keep in a cool place with-
out refrigeration, and they can
be prepared in many delicious
ways.
While cooking spaghetti
squash takes a while by most
methods, I’ve found it conven-
ient to cook them in advance,
baking them whenever I’m run-

Seth’s Sightings
What a great weekend! The rain
that was expected didnʼt stick
around, and that made for two days
perfect for outdoor activity. Lots of
our neighbors used it for yard work.
I got a little of that done myself. The
problem with outdoor work is that
the nice Indian summer tempera-
tures arenʼt slowing the slow drop
of leaves.
On a couple of trips that we took
we drove through a swirl of leaves
caught in the breeze and also in the
pull of airbehind vehicles traveling
at speed.
The leaves that are still up are
beginning their turn toward peak
color. Iʼm guessing that the best
color will come late next week and
hold until the week after in many
places. There are some spots of
peak color even now, mainly in
swamps, which means those areas

Predictions are that we may
experience another light frost this
coming weekend. A reader and
weather watcher who lives near the
Turnpike in north Kidder Township
was in touch to tell me that I had
missed a significant frost that
spread across the Pocono Plateau
two weeks ago. He reported that
the Split Rock Golf Course delayed
its early rounds until the frost melt-
ed off of the grass there. There was
a discussion about using colored
golf balls…
Ruth and I were able to see the
effects of this frost on our hike with
the dogs on Saturday. The remote
gravel road at the edge of Hickory
Run State Park that heads into the
woods toward Mud Run leads to
the Orchard Trail. Part of the trail is

One of the highlights of the year for members of the Pocono
Mountain Women’s Club and their neighbors is the October
Harvest Bazaar, which will be held this year on October 10, the
Saturday of Columbus Weekend. The bazaar will be held as
usual at the Christ the King Family Center on Route 940 in
Blakeslee between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
There will be plenty to do: browse, shop, eat, drink and greet
old friends. Among the items available for sale will be beautiful
home-made crafts, all kinds of delicious baked good, and
always the hit of the day——containers of homemade soup.
There will also be plenty of books and a boutique table of brand
new items plus other tables of lightly used items.
Prizes will be awarded to the lucky winners of various auc-
tions and raffles that will be occurring throughout the day.
Best of all for some attending are the hearty lunch items
available at a nominal cost. Festival-goers can indulge with a
choice of hot dogs and beans, meatball subs, homemade
soup, baked ziti and hot and cold drinks. These homemade
items will also be available for sale to take home. Don’t delay—
-they go fast.

October HATT meeting to feature history of key roads

The October meeting of
HATT (the Historical Asso-
ciation of Tobyhanna Town-
ship) will be held at the Clymer
Library on Firehouse Road in
Pocono Pines on Wednesday,
October 14 at 10:15 a.m. The
meeting will feature Eugene
Kerrick of Blakeslee who will
give a history of the key roads
in the township.
The oldest road in the town-
ship and one that opened the
area for any kind of develop-
ment was the Sullivan Trail,
which was developed by
troops under General John
Sullivan during the Revolu-
tionary War. Part of this be-
came Route 940, which went
through part of Pocono Pines.
Route 940 continued through
Pocono Lake and eventually
reached Blakeslee corners.
Only later was it continued on
its route today into Carbon
County.
A key road during the 1800s
was the Wilkes-Barre turnpike
which passed through Blakes-
lee. The turnpike was pretty
much the basis of Route 115
today. Another road out of Po-
cono Pines is Route 423,
which goes into the village of
Tobyhanna. Evidence of this
road goes back at least to
1870.
Finally the major east-west
road through the township is
Interstate 80, which was com-
pleted in the 1950s. It closely
borders the southern bound-
ary of the township. Off shoot
of this is Interstate 380, which
follows a north-south direction
in the eastern portion of the
township.
The history of these roads,
which give all sorts of vibrant
activities to the township, will
be most interesting.
HATT had its origins in 1995
and meets monthly from April
to November on the second
Wednesday, usually at the
Clymer Library. All interested
parties are invited to attend
the meetings.
HATT also maintains a dis-
play case at the library, cur-
rently featuring events of earli-
er recession periods com-
pared to today. In addition
HATT is currently archiving
historic documents of the
township. Sessions are held
Tuesday and Thursday even-
ings and folks with historic
photos or documents are invit-
ed to bring such data.
Of recent activity utilizing
the archival center is a project
capturing images on old post-
cards from the Pocono Pines
area showing what exists to-
day on the site of the post-
cards from years ago.
