Happy New Year Coolbaugh Township residents. As we begin 2025,we can now look back and reflect on law enforcement activity withinthe township over the past year. 2024 was a busy year in the townshipand the overall region for the Pocono Mountain Regional Police. 911calls for service increased by 2.4%, totaling 4,785 police dispatcheswithin Coolbaugh. Motor vehicle crashes also increased, climbing by4.5% with a total of 296. Overall traffic enforcement jumped by 20%as we strive to increase roadway safety and decrease our crashes. Wewill continue this effort and hope to see positive results in 2025. In 2024, the PMRPD continued with its specialized patrols funded bythe Department of Justice through a COPS grant along with fundingfrom the Township. Through the COPS grant, the PMRPD is able assignofficers to specific zones within our residential communities. Theseextra zone assignments translate into more police presence upontownship and private roadways off the main thoroughfares. This alsoallows officers better opportunities to engage in community policingand to have more interactions with our residents. They are also betterable to handle specific community problems that may otherwise notbe reported through a police dispatch. I can report that data hasdetermined that this is working. Police calls for service have droppedwithin the tested communities to the tune of approximately 12% from2021/2022 as compared with 2023/2024. In closing, as with any community, we do have crime and there areproblems both big and small in Coolbaugh Township. Our approachtowards policing is to tackle the big problems with a swift responseand to work on mitigating small problems and preventing them frombecoming larger issues. What I am proud to report is that crime withinCoolbaugh Township has been on a steady decline over the lastdecade. We continue to bring crime rates down even further with acombination of tried-and-true policing, coupled with our communitypolicing initiatives. This approach has demonstrated results thattranslate into a better quality of life and a safer, stronger community. Chief Chris WagnerPocono Mountain Regional Police Updates

WINTER FIRE SAFETY As we trek on through the winter months, it is important to remember the basics ofhome fire safety. Many of us in the Poconos rely on alternative and secondary heatsources to keep our families warm and dry, but many risks accompany that comfort. SPACE HEATERS - All space heaters (convection, radiant, or combination) MUST beplugged directly into a wall outlet. Space heaters draw a lot of power and shouldnever be plugged into an extension cord or power strip. If you use a space heater,keep a minimum of 3 feet of open space around the heater. It is also important toknow that if using a heater repeatedly trips a breaker in your home, the unit isoverloading the circuit and should be relocated to another power source or replaced. FIREPLACE - Use hardwoods in your fireplace. Oak, maple, ash, hickory, and birch areall good options when burning for heat. Hardwoods tend to burn hotter and longerwith less creosote buildup. Be sure to use aged, dry wood as well. Moisture-soakedfirewood will not burn as efficiently and will create excessive smoke as it dries andburns. Be sure to open the damper/flue. Many times, people forget to open thedamper/flue when starting a fire. When closed, this limits airflow and can cause yourhome to quickly fill with smoke. It is also important to keep a glass or metal screen infront of the fireplace to keep hot embers from escaping. CHIMNEYS - Have your chimney inspected and cleaned ANNUALLY. Creosote buildupis the number one cause of fire when using a fireplace. Creosote forms when thesmoke produced by burning wood cools as it travels up your chimney. Unburnedcompounds condense within the smoke, creating a tar-like deposit that builds up overtime. SMOKE DETECTORS - At least one smoke detector should be located on each floor ofyour home. Additional detectors are recommended in/near bedrooms or sleepingareas. Detectors should not be placed directly above a stove or other cooking area.Grease, oil, and other food particles can damage a detector's sensor and make it workineffectively. CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS - At least one carbon monoxide detector should belocated on each floor of your home. Additional detectors are recommended in/nearbedrooms or sleeping areas. Detectors should be placed about five feet above thefloor on a wall. Combination detectors (smoke/CO) may be placed directly on theceiling.Memo from the Chief

Environmental Advisory CouncilGood Day and Happy 2025 to all Coolbaugh residents. We are your EnvironmentalAdvisory Council (EAC) and we are presently working on several projects that you maybe quite interested in. All seek to enhance our quality of life here on the mountain. Coolbaugh Township Cares!Our first and perhaps the most critical to all of us is “Coolbaugh Township Cares! Thestream quality monitoring project.” Coolbaugh Township may be the first township inNEPA to actively partner with a number of conservation groups in the area to participatein a project that will monitor and make available to the public – at no cost – real timewater quality monitoring of portions of the Tobyhanna Creek. This is being accomplishedwith much needed, donated time from several engineers, IT specialists and conservationgroups in the area. We have purchased several water quality monitoring devices, called“mayflies.” They have been set up, programmed for use and will soon be permanentlyplaced in Tobyhanna Creek where they will regularly upload water quality information toa shared database that any of us may monitor free of charge. It is important to us toinstall these devices so that we may benchmark data in advance of any construction onproperties close to or contiguous to the creek. We are hoping to place the mayflies soonand will notify you in a forthcoming Newsletter how to interpret the data and where tofind it on the internet. Coolbaugh Township has graciously supported this project and has also contributed atablet and other supplies for our use. Wiley Preserve on Laurel Drive Signage identifying trees and bushes have been ordered and will be installed in thespring at the Wiley Preserve. We are heartened to see your increased use of this lovelyspace and hope the new signs will encourage more use and be educational for all of usas well. Our story walks at the Wiley preserve will continue in the spring once theweather is warmer! We will let you know when the first story is installed and ready to go. Tannery Open Space Property on King’s Way near Pocono Farms EastThanks to Ivan Tulala, who has cut a bike lane through parts of the beautiful Open Spaceproperty. It is now accessible in part to bike riders. We will be providing signage alongthe trail once the weather breaks.

Coolbaugh Township Historical Association Tobyhanna Millpond #1 Ice HarvestAfter a two-year hiatus due to lack of ice, the 2025 Tobyhanna Ice Harvest will beremembered as one of the best in the 32 years of our “modern-day” ice harvests.There was 13 inches of clear, grade-A ice on Tobyhanna Millpond #1. The weather wasa bit cool, but there was no wind, and the warm fire was a popular attraction. All in all,it was a perfect day for an ice harvest. One of our friends created a great drone video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5PPKv6JO2w Plenty of willing volunteers helped to cut the 200-pound ice cakes from the pond,move them to the icehouse, and stack the 42 tons of ice. The equipment, includingthe first use of our 1922 Gifford Wood Ice Saw, worked flawlessly. A record crowdattended, including local folks with ancestors in the ice business, and even someinternational visitors. They all came to experience the living history of the once-important natural ice industry. A group of energetic Boy Scouts from Troop 71 inDoylestown returned, worked the entire day, and enjoyed every minute of it. TheStrack family from the Antique Ice Tool Museum in West Chester, PA, came to ourharvest. Check out their fascinating museum for an outstanding display of iceharvesting equipment and artifacts dedicated to preserving the natural ice trade.https://www.antiqueicetoolmuseum.org/ The Norwegian Fjord horses, Reggie and Guerilla willingly pulled the ice cakes up theramp and into the icehouse, and posed for plenty of pictures. Mike Fairservice broughthis beautifully restored 1929 Ford Model AA truck. Many folks enjoyed breakfast andlunch at the VFW Post 509. There were plenty of visitors at our Wills MansionMuseum to learn more about ice industry history and browse the displays about ourlocal history.
