A LOOK INSIDE THE WAREHOUSE: Members of the Greater White Haven Chamber of Commerce toured the ID Logistics warehouse in Kidder Township recently. They learned about the company’s three-year contract with Amazon and the metrics the company uses to evaluate their performance, and walked a little over a mile in the process.

Dennison awarded LSA grant for line painting by Suzanne Winters During a relatively brief monthly meeting, Dennison Township Supervisors’ chairman Sheila Weaver noted that Dennison Township has received an LSA grant of $22,103 for line painting. The Supervisors passed a motion to execute the documents pertaining to this grant. Weaver also addressed the debris cleanout planned for the creek on Hollenback Road. An emergency permit has been received, and the engineers will draw up documents listing what work should be done.
Supervisors voted to sign the authorization for services on this project. Two zoning permits were issued this month per township secretary Kathleen Stortz, one for a property on Route 437 and one for a property on Joanne Lane. Roadmaster Jim Yackiel reported fixing downspouts on the Township building, pothole filling on Peat Moss Road, weed cutting on Red Shale Pit Road and grass cutting at the Township and Fire Company buildings. Supervisor Mike Mack talked about a complaint received from
a Ramblewood property owner concerned about water running under the road during heavy rains. The property owner said he has done some research on a plastic liner to keep the water from running under the road and has volunteered to pay for the liner. Mack asked him to obtain pricing from contractors concerning the work. Both Mack and Yackiel discussed several culverts, ditches and pipes that need to be cleaned out in Ramblewood. They plan to meet to survey the area to make sure they get all of those on the list for cleaning. There was no Fire report
available per the Secretary. Township resident Margaret McNamara was in attendance to let the supervisors know she plans to run for Tax Collector next year. Mack mentioned that the township also is in need of a new Judge of Elections. He said that anyone interested in this position should contact the Election Bureau at the Luzerne County Courthouse for details.
