secretary moves on
by Seth Isenberg
Penn Forest Township
Secretary/Treasurer Tammy
Parent resigned effective
August 4 for personal rea-
sons. Parent, a township
employee for over a dozen
years, has taken a job in pri-
vate industry. Supervisors
accepted this decision with
Tammy Parent
regret at their August 2 meet-
ing. It was also decided that
township clerk Elizabeth Yoder
would fill in for Parent while a
search gets underway for a
successor.
Yoder initially was interested
in the position, but later with-
drew her application. On
August 18, Yoder also
resigned from her position as
clerk. She had started with the
township in May. Lois
Lombardo began training for
work for the township on July
19 and 20, but submitted a let-
ter of resignation on July 21.
Supervisors approved paying
her for the two days she
worked.
Supervisor Judy Knappen-
berger led the August 2 Penn
Forest Township Board of
Supervisors meeting as Paul
Montemuro was on vacation.
In addition to the resignation
of Parent, supervisors also
VOLUME 2, NUMBER 10
accepted the resignation of Al
Klitsch from the zoning hear-
ing board. Klitsch has moved
from the township. Yoder was
asked to contact people inter-
ested in serving on the board.
Gerald Dotter resigned as
the townshipʼs Emergency
Management Coordinator. He
has returned all the townshipʼs
materials, and the radio.
Supervisor Alan Katz volun-
teered to serve as EMA coor-
dinator, and supervisors
approved this on a vote of
three in favor and one abstain-
ing (Katz).
After obtaining three quotes,
the township chose to buy a
91” flail mower from Charles
S. Snyder at the state contract
price of $4,650. Supervisors
approved paying Wastequip
$25,642 for the two new trash
compactors at the Transfer
Station. Bids will be prepared
for construction of protective
overhangs at the Transfer
Station. Locust Ridge Quarry
was awarded the 2010 paving
and construction contract for
their low bid (of six bidders) of
$111,893. The paving and
swale work is to be done by
the end of August.
Bids for line striping for
township roads will be sought.
Attorney Tom Nanovic was
directed to draft bids for the
garbage removal contract
from the transfer station.
The bids for new computers
were tabled in July because it
was hard to make an even
comparison of quotes, but in
August, with the contract nar-
rowed to a cost of $3,999, it
was decided to accept

Seth’s Sightings
Last Thursday, Ruth and I
tried to wrap our work up early
in order to meet fellow news-
paper types outside of
Bethlehem. Our gathering was
to brainstorm. The session
lasted through early Friday
afternoon, making for a
change of habits that was both
Woody’s
Country House
Route 115, 4 miles south of Blakeslee Corners - by Ruth Isenberg
Monday nights are not usu-
ally a busy night for dining out.
Lots of places are closed. So
we were pleased when we
walked into Woodyʼs Country
House to find a nice crowd of
diners in both the bar and din-
ing room. Then we looked in
themenu and we understod
why.
Mondays at Woodyʼs means
meals for $9.95—and the
choices are both interesting
and enjoyable. A list of eight
entrées was available, along
with $1 draft beers. No wonder
Woodyʼs was a popular spot
on a Monday night.
There were at least
three items on that
menu that interested
me. And since I was
only going to pay $9.95,
I didnʼt feel bad about
enjoying a $4.95 glass
of chardonnay. Seth
was ordering off the
menu, and he started
with a Diet Coke, $1.95
refillable.
Woodyʼs menu is big,
ranging from steaks
and seafood, to sand-
wiches and salads. It
took us a few minutes to
decide what to order. We were
sitting in one of the raised
booths in the dining room,
enjoying the warm and rustic
atmosphere, and discussing
our options.
Seth wanted seafood, so he
decided on the Seafood Fra
Diabolo, $14.95. I chose from
the specials, a Caesar Pasta
Salad, $9.95.
First came a basket of warm
white bread with butter. The
flavor was good, and the crust
challenging and refreshing.
We arrived back home with
barely enough time to prepare
for volunteering for a fundrais-
er in Weatherly. That event,
the Weatherly Idol singing
contest, was fun, and pulled
together by an experienced
master of ceremonies, leaving
especially fine—so good that
Seth requested more, espe-
cially crusts. Those usuallly go
into the homemade croutons,
our waitress said, but she
came back with three, and he
was very pleased.
Next was his salad, an
attractive mix of greens, thinly
sliced red onions, those crou-
tons, juicy red pepper, toma-
toes, and black olives (which I
snagged). The Italian dressing
was a bit on the sweet side,
but served on the side, so it
didnʼt overwhelm the greens.
My entrée salad was not
Dining
Out
sweet; the dressing was a
classic Caesar, with plenty of
garlic and parmesan cheese.
The greens were fresh, and
chunks of chicken and more
croutons were spread over lin-
guini. The mixture was warm,
but not hot, and a good choice
for a hot summer night.
Sethʼs Fra Diabolo was hot,
but in a spicy way, not in tem-
perature. Mussels, clams,
scallops and shrimp were
coated in a lightly spicy
herbed Marinara sauce, and
us tasks of vote-counting and
cleanup. Money raised helped

groups.
Saturday was a fairly nice
day. There were some photos

men's sponsored car show.
served over linguini. The mus-
sels were huge, but still ten-
der, and the flavor of the
sauce was assertive but not
overpowering. The dish was
filling, and fun.
We thought about dessert.
Woodyʼs features a home-
made apple crisp thatʼs very
popular—so popular it was all
gone after a busy weekend.
The other desserts looked
good, but we decided to save
the calories and wait for the
next time apple crisp is avail-
able.
Based on the Fra Diabolo,
we also want to find
a way to come out on
a Wedensday night.
Thatʼs Seafood night,
with $14.95 seafood
entrées that sound
terrific. The menu
also includes sand-
wiches and appetiz-
ers, and the kidʼs
menu reinforces the
family-friendly aspect
of the dining room.
The bar, meanwhile,
has a grown-up,
comfortable vibe,
and some specials of
its own.
Woodyʼs is open 11-9 p.m.,
Sunday through Thursday,
and until 10 p.m. on week-
ends. Thereʼs a special party
room available, and occasion-
al theme dinners, like the
recent Fathers Day beer tast-
ing.
Credit cards are accepted,
and thereʼs plenty of parking
on both sides of the restau-
rant.

At about 9:34 p.m. on 7-14,
a large number of vehicles
drove convoy style to the Mt.
Pocahontas clubhouse.
Occupants got out of the vehi-
cles with several holding bats,
crowbars and other weapons.
One juvenile was assaulted
there. Several people then
smashed out the windows on
a Ford Escape parked there.
The crowd then dispersed.
The whole event was caught
on surveillance video. An effort
is being made to identify the
people involved. The owner of
the Escape had two cell
phones smashed and $60
cash taken from the vehicle.
The assaulted youth lost his
cell phone, bicycle and ear-
