Curative amendment adopted by Kidder Township Supervisors by Seth & Ruth Isenberg At a special meeting on September 12, the Kidder Board of Supervisors passed the warehouse curative amendment into the township ordinances.

A note about this combo edition by Ruth Isenberg
This issue combines news from two publications —The Journal of the Pocono Plateau, and The Journal of Penn-Kidder. Co-publisher Seth Isenberg has been in the hospital, and in order to keep the presses rolling, as co-publisher I made a decision to print items I felt would be of general interest. Seth is recuperating nicely, but we don’t have a timeline yet for full recovery. We’d be interested in hearing your reaction to this combined format, as well as any suggestions.
