LoveWe have just experienced a

day we Call Valentines Day. A day to express love to one an-other. At the same time we are living a world of much hatred and revenge. Which of these is the most powerful and brings change?

There is no one in history that has brought more change than the man Jesus Christ.

As we study His life we see the most powerful story ever told. His demonstrations of love are too numerous to men-tion. Just to name a few; Psa. 32:10, His love is unfailing. Psa. 36:5-7, It reaches to the heavens. Psa. 100:5, It endures forever Isa. 8:7 Many waters cannot quench it, Nowhere can we escape His love. . I could go on and on the list is endless. His love was not words but demonstration..This is how God showed His love,1 John 4:9-10, He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us.

Society sees love as some-thing that makes me feel good, something that satisfies the lusts in our lives, love that is quickly gone when our desires are not met.

The love that Christ dem-onstrated, the true love, is the love He gave, to benefit us. To give us life, joy and peace. That no matter what we do or encounter it cannot separate

us from His love, Rom. 8:35-39. Even if we reject Him it is not withdrawn.

Many times we cannot ex-perience this love because we have put up barriers. It is only experienced as we let Him into our lives. It is a two way street. Some times we feel we are not good enough or God can’t for-give what we have done. Rom 5:8, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. He didn’t wait until we were good.

There was a young man named Bryan Ingvaldson who didn’t believe in God. But while in college some young men accepted him as he was and demonstrated the love of Jesus, with no judgment on his life. He realized he was worshiping other things, sex, drugs and alcohol. He realized His addictions as a voluntary enslavement to idols and he needed to change his worship. His burden of sin was taken away and he was set free. Love is a very powerful thing. It mends broken relationship and marriages, Brings fami-lies back together and gives a child the courage to build a future. Love is so much more powerful than, hate and bitter-ness which only separates and never unites.

May we demonstrate the love Christ has made available to us to touch lives to see them changed and set free.

COUNTRYSIDE CONSER-VANCY

The next presentation came from Bill Kern, Execu-tive Director of Countryside Conservancy. Sandy Boyle, vice-president, was also in at-tendance. Kern said they are a non-profit land trust that be-gan in 1994. They are located at Keystone College. Their focus is on the Tunkhannock Watershed. They own land outright and have open pre-serves at Lackawanna State Park, Wyoming County and in Dimock. They are working on the Trolley Trail Project, which follows the alignment of the Northern Electric Trolley from Clarks Summit to Dalton. They are currently working on Phase 2, which goes from Lake Winola, Nicholson and Suque-hanna County.

Searle asked if they could help with the township’s walking trails they want to put in near the township build-ing or do they just focus on their own projects. Kern said he would definitely help. He said they also work with pri-vate landowners to put re-strictions on land after they pass on. They currently have 500 acres of restricted land in Susquehanna County and 2 easements in Clifford Town-ship. Searle said they want to take the trails to the cider mill. Kern said if anyone has ques-tions about what they can do with their land, they can con-tact them: www.countryside-conservancy.org or 570-945-6995.ROADWORK BIDS

The supervisors next dis-cussed the spring road work bids. Knowlton said they should have a work session with Road Master Kurt Booths. “The format needs to be over-hauled and look at what they are spending on materials the last 3 years.” Searle said, “We need to make a motion to ad-vertise this month before the work session but don’t place the ad until the work session. Searle made a motion All vot-ed in favor. Motion passed EMERGENCY PLAN

Searle said he attended the EMA/FEMA Webinar. He said municipalities emergency plan is supposed to be updated ev-ery 24 months and he said he wasn’t sure their plan was up-dated. He also said training is required for township EMA officials. He also said they need to talk about pet control if an emergency happens in the township. He said people can show up with their dogs and cats at a shelter. The su-pervisors will talk to Phil Price about the issues raised. ELK VIEW DRIVE

Booths said the test holes done on Elk View Drive went well. He said the engineer was pleased at how the road

was constructed and it is an excellent candidate for a re-build. He said he also famil-iarized himself with the town-ship roads and reached out to township residents. He also said he got 2 loads of cinders today and 4 more are com-ing in. Knowlton welcomed Booths, “We are happy to have you on board,” he said. Marcho said someone talked to him about having a “Yield to Right” sign at the intersec-tion at Lake Idlewild. The su-pervisors said they would let PennDOT know since it is a state road.

TAXESTax Collector Jan Price

said 94% of the township’s taxes were collected for 2016: Real Estate Taxes $168,904.16 and Fire Protection Taxes $14,666.22. The supervisors agree to pay for the computer program Price uses and for courses she has to take for her job, provided she gives them notice of when they are com-ing up and how much they cost.ZONING MEETING

Sally Fischbeck, Chairper-son of the Planning Commis-sion, said the next public meet-ing for the proposed zoning ordinance will take place on March 8. The tentative public hearing will take place in May.STATE BUDGET

Searle brought up his con-cerns about Governor Tom Wolf’s proposed state bud-get. He said if an extraction tax is adopted, the Act 13 Im-pact fee could be eliminated. Also, there is a proposed $25 fee per person for state police coverage. It would cost ap-proximately $50,000 out of the township’s budget. McGraw asked what they paid for their police department. Searle said it was almost double. McGraw said this wasn’t the first time this was brought up. Marcho said, “It is a state problem and they are making it a township problem. I don’t have a prob-lem paying if the the state police come down 2-3 times a week to patrol but I don’t know what we are getting for our money.” Knowlton added, “We are already pay-ing for it with our gas money.” Searle said the extraction tax is a bigger problem and is urg-ing residents to contact legis-lators (Senator Lisa Baker and Representative Jonathan Fritz. Knowlton asked McGraw to look into both areas.

The supervisors introduced Gabe Hunter, a student at Scranton Prep, who was giv-en an assignment to write on what happened at the meet-ing.

The next meeting will take place on Tuesday. March 14 at 7pm
