PMSD strive to maintain teaching
positions despite budget cuts
by Jeanine Hofbauer
Superintendent Dwight Pfen-
nig began budget discussions
at the Pocono Mountain school
board meeting April 9 with the
presentation of four scenarios
considered by the board to ad-
dress cuts needed for this
year’s budget. The complicated
scenarios addressed proposed
cuts in extracurricular activities,
Act 93 positions and pay
freezes, retirement projections,
teaching positions, and secre-
tarial and custodial positions.
Board members passionately
expressed views on the cuts
and chose to dissect the sce-
narios and restructure them.
Many members of the PMSD
teaching staff were in atten-
dance to hear a motion calling

for no present cuts in the teach-
ing staff be voted upon and ap-
proved. A motion to reduce two
administrative positions at an
approximate savings of
$207,000 was proposed. A mo-
tion to reduce the Ski Club, In-
tramural Advisors and
Intramural Secondary was also
approved at an approximate
additional savings of $41,000.
Dr. Pfennig said the decision to
present the Ski Club reduction
as an option was due to a ski
program participation decline
as the cost went up, reflecting
negative growth for the club.
The board also decided to elim-
inate two open custodial staff
positions. Secretarial positions
may also be eliminated as the
elementary schools adopt a

In an effort to add revenue for
the District, board member
Meg Dilger suggested selling
advertising space at the
school’s stadium. Dr. Pfennig
advised Dilger the district’s
strict “no solicitation” policy
would have to change in order
to accommodate such an en-
deavor. Board president Henry
Bockelman added that the sug-
gestion affecting the policy
would need to be researched to
avoid any ramifications.
The board heard from Rich-
ard Kiernan of UGI Utilities and
Joe Soloman on the potential
savings utilizing natural gas for
district schools. Kiernan pro-

posed that UGI Utilities would
extend gas lines to the Cool-
baugh Elementary Center and
Clear Run Intermediate, Ele-
mentary and sewage treatment
sites at little cost to the district,
resulting in an approximate pro-
jected fuel cost savings of over
$108,000 annually. In exchange
UGI asked for a term commit-
ment from the district. The obli-
gation for interior adjustments
would fall on the in-house staff.
The board was advised that
current boilers would need to
be converted to dual fuel at an
approximate cost of $1,500
each. This would allow both gas
and the existing oil fuel to be
used. UGI’s request that the
schools dig the 3-foot deep
trenches at the sites was met
by board member Bill Forte’s
suggestion UGI consider
trenching to the buildings since
Burn Ban for
Tunk Twp.
A Burn Ban is in effect in
Tunkhannock Township until
further notice. The ban was
put into effect on April 12.
UGI’s equipment would already
be on site, to ensure the task is
done correctly. Soloman com-
pared the fuel oil cost versus
natural gas savings for the
Board. He advised that oil is a
global commodity and therefore
vulnerable, while natural gas is
a domestic product resulting in
more stability. Kiernan advised
the board that he will review the
proposal for a proper con-
sumption commitment before
entering into a contract. He re-
quested the board make its de-
cision within the month.
Board members voted to ap-
prove proposed graduation
dates of June 17 for the Pocono
Mountain Academy, June 18 for
PM East High School and June
19 for PM West High School,
based on comparing the cost
for transportation with the sub-
sidy penalty cost for holding
graduation before school ends
on June 10, 11 and 12.
The Pocono Mountain
School Board will meet next on
Wednesday, April 21, beginning
7 p.m. Check the School
Board’s website at www.pmsd.

upcoming meeting as this re-
cent meeting had been moved

Seth’s Sightings by Seth Isenberg

The swing of temperatures
from summer to spring was not
as jarring as Iʼd feared. Wed-
nesday it was in the 80s,
Thursday in the 70s, and then
Friday, into the 50s, before a
rebound into the 60s for the
weekend... nice!
We were able to swim the
dogs twice his weekend. On
Saturday, we were in Cool-
baugh Twp. for a photo of a re-
lease of school-grown trout.
After that, we stayed to walk
the dogs along the upper To-
byhanna creek, west of Toby-
hanna. We all walked in on a
gamelands road, finding the
beautiful mountain creek after
a hundred yards or so – actu-
ally, the dogs found it first. I
rounded a bend to find Chess
standing up to her knees in a
feeder stream. Chad, who was
moving slower, decided to fol-
low me around the stream, and
we were rewarded by a winer,
deeper place in Tobyhanna
Creek itself. The roadway we
the Gamelands paths that start
from the road and lead into the
woods.
We have come to the end of
the Star Trek Voyager series
after a bit more than a year of
rentals. Weʼd watch two to four
episodes a week. We are now
debating our next venture into
science fiction TV
Thereʼs evidence of a busy
set of bears in Hickory Run
State Park. Lots of scratched
trees. With the campground at
the park back open again,
these hungry bears should be
bothering the campers soon.
Sightings this week included
a tubby medium-sized porcu-
pine, and a very large hawk or
golden eagle. The porcupine
we sighted when driving in to
the Sand Springs Day Area at
Hickory Run to walk our dogs.
The enormous bird was flying
above the treetops along the
Tobyhanna Creek, again as we
were walking our dogs.

CareerLink of Monroe County’s 8th Annual CAREER Quest is huge success

by Jeanine Hofbauer
The beautiful Fernwood Hotel &
Resort generously hosted the CA-
REER Quest for the Monroe
Chapter of Pennsylvaniaʼs Ca-
reerLinkʼs eighth consecutive
year. The event began at 10 a.m.
on April 13 with a long line of
hopeful job seekers with resumes
in hand eagerly awaiting entry.
Career link is to be commended
on the direction it provided poten-
tial attendees in preparing for the
event with encouraging tips for
working a job fair. At the event the
Career Link staff provided re-
sourceful pamphlets listing the
participating businessʼs contact in-
formation for follow up. They pro-
Economic Recovery Project to repair
bridge in Monroe County underway
PennDOT Engineering District 5
has announced that work has
begun to repair bridge parapets on
a number of key links in the re-
gion.
The work is planned for Inter-
state 80 in Tunkhannock, Toby-
hanna, Pocono, Jackson, Stroud,
and Smithfield townships, and
Stroudsburg and East Strouds-
burg boroughs, one bridge on In-
terstate 380 in Tobyhanna
Township; and one bridge in Palo
Alto Borough, Schuylkill County.
The contract is financed with fed-
eral funds from the American Re-
covery and Reinvestment Act.
Work started Sunday, April 11,
on the Interstate 80 east bridges
in the western portion of the proj-
ect limits and on the Interstate 380
bridge.
There will be no long-term lane
restrictions; however the contrac-
tor may have sporadic short-term
restrictions at night for shoulder
stabilization. Updates will be pro-
vided whenever traffic patterns
change.

vided guidance to potential areas
of interest to ensure the efficiency
of the time spent by the public. Ca-
reer Link administrator John
Casella attributes the eventʼs suc-
cess to the assistance of many or-
ganizations including Pocono
Mountain Media Group, the Fern-
wood Hotel & Resort, Monroe
County Transportation Authority
and Access Office Technologies.
Each organization utilized its re-
sources to provide free services to
the event including advertising,
hosting, and transportation to
name a few.
Numerous employers obtained
booths for the event at a signifi-
cantly lower cost than similar job
PennDOT awarded HRI, Inc. of
State College, the $10. 1 million
contract to repair parapets on 19
bridges on I-80 between exit
293/I-380 and exit 310/PA 611,
one bridge on I-380 at Exit 3/PA
940; and one at the Coal Street
Bridge over the Schuylkill River in
Palo Alto Borough.
A bridge parapet is a wall-like
barrier at the edge of shoulder on
the bridge. The parapets will be
repaired by encasing them in con-
crete.
The project is scheduled to be
completed in fall 2011.
Within the six-county District 5
region, PennDOT will invest $141
million of federal economic recov-
ery funds on transportation proj-
ects, which include road and
bridge improvements and Intelli-
gent Transportation System instal-
lations.

federal economic recovery will

fairs thus attributing to the abun-
dance of diverse opportunities for
job seekers. Alma Ruiz-Smith and
James Brunozzi, representatives
of Senator Robert J. Mellowʼs of-
fice, attend the event every year
as Senator Mellow strongly sup-
ports the event and its results for
his constituents. Ruiz-Smith com-
mented on diverse opportunities
assisting with adaptation to
change many of the seekers were
evidently experiencing.
The event served a wide variety
of age groups in search of an em-
ployment opportunity. The gener-
ation of experienced seekers
joined with a younger group enter-
ing the workforce after graduation.
Tess Dalessio Career Facilitator
for MCTI, the Monroe Career and
Technical Institute, escorted a
group of well-dressed students
through the event with mandatory
Resumes ready. She expressed
OUT IN THE OPEN: April 17 is
the big day when anglers can
legally begin looking to the chal-
lenge of finding and catching
spunky, native brook trout, like
the one shown, or larger trout
that the Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission has recently
stocked in Pocono streams and
lakes. Beginning at 8 a.m. on
Saturday the regular trout sea-
son gets underway in Pennsyl-
vania. Fishermen of all ages will
be trying to hook into rainbow,
brown and brook trout. The
PFBC stocked nearly four mil-
lion trout in 744 streams and 124
lakes throughout the Common-
wealth. Included are a number trophy golden trout that weight in excess of 1.5 pounds and are 14” in
length or longer. Each angler may keep up to five fish of combined species that are at least 7” in
length. For moms challenged to cook up a trout dinner, the best and easiest method is to remove the
entrails, cut off the head, tail and fins and fry the fish on both sides in a little butter or olive oil until
golden brown and the meat flakes easily with a fork. Remove the bones, discard the skin and enjoy.
the appreciation the Institute con-
veys to Career Link in establishing
such an event to assist in guiding
their students into the working
world.
MCTI ACE Coordinator Carol
Sitroon was also on hand to dis-
cuss employment opportunities for
people in such technical fields as
plumbers and electricians to work
as Instructors at the Institute.
Sitroon also encouraged booth
visitors to explore the idea of con-
tinuing education in summer ses-
sion courses such as the Adult
Culinary Café.
HumanWorks Affiliates Inc. was
accepting applications from com-
passionate individuals for posi-
tions in their Childfirst Services
divisions for sites in Wayne and
Carbon Counties. Mary Rivera ar-
dently expressed the efforts of the
Childfirst Services as truly making
a difference for children in our
area.
A representative of the Toby-
hanna Army Depot directed seek-
ers to visit the website for current
employment listing information as
positions are updated daily. She
stated the observation that al-
though hiring appears to have
slightly declined nonetheless it re-
mains consistent.
Many other booths included
such employment fields as the
Pennsylvania State Police, local
area resorts searching for sea-
sonal help as well as full time and
part time positions, nursing agen-
cies and medical facilities, along
with Primerica financial advisors
which is opening another three
agencies in the area, just to name
a few.
The CAREER Quest event
proved to not only offer employ-
ment opportunities via job open-
ings but it clearly exhibited
opportunities via advanced educa-
tion and organizations providing
assistance and direction amidst
the maze of confusion sometimes
felt when juggling the stress of un-
employment with the immense
array of employment fields avail-
able.
Career link continues beyond
the CAREER Quest event to offer
employment guidance to county
residents via its vast portfolio of
potential employer contacts. They
are conveniently located on Route
611 in Tannersville. For additional
information visit their website at
