Shelli Angle invited fellow Mt.
Pocono borough council mem-
bers to ‘Woof Stock’ on October
10 from 9-5 p.m. at Skywood
park. The free event hosted by

owners are encouraged to
bring their costumed canine
companions for a day of fun
and prizes.
Councilman Bill Jabara re-
ported on stormwater manage-
ment within the borough.
Recent storms tested the func-
tionality of basins and the re-
sponse of road crews with
satisfactory results. Jabara
added, “The guys did a great
job, they were out on patrol and
cleared potential problems.”
President John Finnerty ad-
vised the council of the bor-
ough’s receipt of a letter from
local realtor Kathy Lewis com-
mending the work performed by
Bill Brady at his gas station at
the Five Points intersection.
Councilman John Scalamandre
said the three years of planning

surrounding roadway should be
recognized. Finnerty added,
“He (Jabara) insisted on that

Jerry Perch, president of the
Pocono Mountain West Little
League, requested the upper
ball field in the township park
be returned to a slow pitch soft-
ball field as is was in the past. If
the grass can be removed be-
fore spring, it will be in better
condition for the start of next
season. The slow pitch softball
field can also be used for 5 & 6
year old T-ball games. The
PMWLL has only used the
lower field in the park for the
past two years, and they are
short on fields. Supervisors will
look into this.
Secretary/Treasurer Maria
Wieand gave her report: the
General Account for August
shows income of $112,208.79
and expenses and payroll of
$18,386.59, plus bills of
$163,441.35, leaving a balance
of $560,834.90. Liquid fuels

spending of $68,240 for tar and
chip road projects, winter cin-
ders and salt, and general
items, leaving $27,353 for the
winter. Bills of $37,839 were ap-
proved for September.
A review of bridgework in the
township will be during the day
on October 13, with a report
presented that night at the
meeting.
The next meeting of Tunkhan-

Coolbaugh Elementary student creates butterfly garden for all to enjoy
Coolbaugh Elementary Cen-
ter fourth grader, Mackenzie
Piacenti, wanted to do some-
thing nice for her school, so
she designed and planted a
butterfly garden at the
school for all students to
enjoy.
A Coolbaugh Elementary
Center student celebrated her
9th half-birthday by planning
and creating a butterfly garden
for all of her classmates to
enjoy.
Fourth grader Mackenzie Pi-
acenti dedicated the butterfly
garden she designed and
planted to her classmates and
the school September 22, dur-
ing a small ceremony next to
the garden near the play-
ground of the school.
Mackenzieʼs family has a
family tradition of celebrating
half-birthdays. Mackenzie cel-
ebrates her half-birthday six
months prior to her real birth-
day. However, the half-birthday

Cost of this six-day trip is
$615/pp based on double occu-
pancy. This includes transporta-

Myrtle Beach, three nights lodging
in Myrtle Beach, five breakfasts,
five full course dinners including
the Dixie Stampede Dinner The-
celebration isnʼt a traditional
birthday celebration where
Mackenzie gets lots of pres-
ents. Instead, Mackenzie is
supposed to honor the occa-
sion by finding a way to help
others.
On previous half-birthdays,
Mackenzie has collected
canned food to donate to a
food bank, and she has even
adopted a pet. On her 9th half-

She and her kittens were thrown

Mackenzie decided she
wanted to do something for her
school. She worked with her
parents and Mrs. Karen
Doughton, the Principal at
Coolbaugh Elementary Center
and decided to build a butterfly
garden at the school for all stu-
dents to enjoy.
This half-birthday project
was her most ambitious to
date, and she spent months on
the project.
First, Mackenzie and Mrs.
Doughton walked the entire
school grounds to find the right
place to plant the garden.
Mackenzie said she didnʼt want
to put it in front of the school,
because there was nothing to
protect the plants from the
wind.
Instead, Mackenzie selected
a location behind the school
that had some big rocks on it

and built her butterfly garden
around the rocks. The next
step was to select the plants
for the garden. “I picked plants
that were deer resistant,” said
Mackenzie to the other stu-
dents at the ceremony. “But
that doesnʼt mean the deer
wonʼt eat them, because they
have already nibbled a little on
some.”
Mackenzie put a lot of
thought into the plant selection.
In addition to selecting plants
that are deer resistant, she
tried to select plants that were
soft to the touch, so the
younger students would like to
touch them, and she selected
one with pink flowers, because
that is her younger sisterʼs fa-
vorite color.
Finally, Mackenzie and her
family planted the garden and
spread the mulch they got from
the township for the garden.
They put the finishing touches
on the butterfly garden the first
week of September.
The Giant Food Store in Tan-
nersville and Ace Hardware in
Mount Pocono donated plants
and a bench to help Macken-
zie with her butterfly garden
project.
Mackenzie plans to add
more plants to the garden in
the spring, if any are lost over
the winter. Mackenzie will help
maintain the garden until her
sister is a student at Cool-
baugh and can take over for
her big sister.

Pocono Arts Council plans Ghost Walk HATT Annual Dinner

Did you know that Analomink
Street in East Stroudsburg is one
of the most haunted streets in
Northeastern PA? Thereʼs a theory
that many of spooks here were
victims of the 1955 floods when
the remnants of two hurricanes
roared over East Stroudsburg,
killing over 70 people and creating
a whole new generation of local
spirits. On Saturday, October 9,
join the Pocono Arts Council for a
guided Ghost Walk on Analomink
Street and around the East
Stroudsburg University campus to
see if any of the ghosts are out
and about. The walk will begin at
the ESU Science & Technology
Center and participants will tour

PAGE 16–The Journal of the Pocono Plateau, Week of October 7, 2010
Out in the Open by Alex Zidock
ELK. Elk are huge and they eat
a lot. They roamed throughout the
stateʼs big forests, including the
Pocono Plateau until the 1840s.
Native elk were completely elimi-
nated from the Pennsylvania land-
scape when the last one was killed
near Benezette in 1877. Today
however, elk are big business in
and around Benezette in North-
central Pennsylvania. But itʼs been
a long and surprising road back.
Killing off Pennsylvaniaʼs native
elk herd was nearly out of neces-
sity. Before supermarkets, elk,
deer, ducks, geese, turkey, quail
and other game animals fed the
rapidly growing and sprawling
population during the early 1800s.
It wasnʼt until the Pennsylvania
Game Commission was estab-
lished in 1895 was the way paved
to re-introduce many of the ani-
mals that were over-harvested for
food, feathers and hides.
Elk are among the success sto-
ries accredited to the Game Com-
missionʼs early vision. In 1913 the
Game Commission purchased 50
elk at a cost of $30 each. They
came from Yellowstone National
Park and Jackson Hole, Wyoming
by train. Half were released in
Clinton County and half in
Clearfield County. An additional 22
were purchased from a Monroe
County preserve of which 12 were
relocated to a preserve in Center
County for future dispersal, and 12

fact, as recently as 1928, the
Game Commission deliberated
whether to kill two troublesome,
crop-damaging elk in Carbon
County. Supposedly farmers beat
them to it.
In 1952 the few elk left in Penn-
sylvania were holding out in a
small area near Benezette where
the last of the native elk made their
last stand 75 years prior.
Through specific plans and
good game management the elk
herd grew to about 500 animals in
2000. This is many more than the
landscape (and area farms) can
accommodate and so the Game
Commission offered a limited
hunting opportunity. In 2001 more
than 50,000 people submitted an
application to receive one of 30
permits to harvest an elk in the first
elk-hunting season in Pennsylva-
nia in 70 years. Since then there
has been an elk-hunting season in herd. These 600 to 1000-pound
