A haven for artists, musicians and adventure sports

enthusiasts, the hamlet today known as Delaware Water Gap

was founded in 1793 by Antoine Dutot, a French plantation

owner who fl ed the slavery uprisings in Santa Domingo. Dutot

had visions of establishing a bustling inland city, and while his

grandiose plans never came to fruition, by the end of the Civil

War, Delaware Water Gap was one of the most popular inland

resort towns in the US.

Location, Location, Location Delaware Water Gap owes its popularity to its exquisite

location, the incomparable beauty of the surrounding area.

Geologically, the Delaware Water Gap, which lies on the

border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is the point

where the Delaware River cuts through a large ridge of the

ancient Appalachian Mountains. For 40 miles the river winds

through low forested mountains, passing hemlock groves, creating spectacular waterfalls. As a recreational area,

the Water Gap, which is part of the national parks system, draws visitors for an abundance of outdoors activities,

including white water rafting, tubing, swimming, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, birding and horseback riding.

The Town The original wooden buildings that made the town famous in the 1800s no longer exist. Quaint bed and

breakfasts, country inns and nearby resorts have sprung up to take their place. Local artists display their works at

the Antoine Dutot School House Gallery. Each September the town hosts “Celebration of the Arts,” which brings

together musicians, dancers, poets and fi lmmakers for

a three-day artistic feast. Year-round, internationally-

renowned jazz musicians perform at the Deer Head Inn

on Main Street, the country’s oldest continuously running

jazz club.

Easter Celebrations“Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life.”

—S.D. Gordon (1859-1936), public school educator and author

Coinciding with the blossoming of spring, Easter is a holiday observed

in varying ways. In Christianity, Easter is the holiest, most profound holiday. For

the secular world, Easter symbolizes chocolate bunnies and colorful eggs. For

virtually everyone, Easter Sunday is a time to get together with family and friends

and enjoy a wonderful feast.

Easter in the Poconos brings culinary delights. Here are some ideas for celebrating:

The French Manor Inn and Spa in South Sterling and the

Chateau Resort in Tannersville are both hosting Easter Sunday

Brunch. Housed in a stone French chateau, the French Manor

is a Triple A 4-Diamond rated restaurant, one of the fi nest in the

Northeast. For information and reservations, contact the French Manor

at (877) 720-6090 or log onto www.thefrenchmanor.com.

4 p.m. Seating is by reservation only. The price is $24.95 per person;

Uniqueness. At local shops you’ll discover fantastic gifts, clothes, jewelry, art, accessories, home décor

items and other wares that you would never be able to fi nd in a chain store. Every item in a chain store is

mass produced, usually outside of the US. Local stores often feature one-of-a-kind or limited edition goods

produced locally.

Better Service. People who own and work for local businesses tend to care passionately

about what they do. The business is more than just a job. Local businesses usually have a deep

understanding of the products they sell and are willing to take the time to serve their customers.

You know where your money is going. Local businesses put 70 percent more money back into the

local community than chain stores, per square foot occupied, according to a study conducted in Chicago.

Create and keep good jobs. Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally, and

small businesses account for the vast majority of job growth. Locally owned businesses are far

less likely to relocate, take their customer service operations overseas or focus on the bottom

line to the detriment of their community.

Preserve culture. In the Pocono Mountains, gift shops and boutiques feature items that tell the history

of the area.

Promote competition and diversity. A multitude of small businesses, each selecting

products based on the needs of local customers and visitors to the area rather than on a

national sales plan, helps maintain a broader range of product choices.

Support community groups. Nonprofi ts receive an average of 350 percent more support from local

business owners than they do from non-locally owned businesses.

Better for the environment. Locally owned businesses make more local purchases,

requiring less transportation, and they generally set up shop in commercial corridors rather than

developing their own commercial areas. This means less sprawl, congestion, habitat loss

and pollution.

Less taxing. Local businesses require much less infrastructure and utilize public services more

effi ciently than do chain stores.

More enjoyment. Which do you prefer: strolling down a historic town’s main street, taking

in unique window displays fi lled with local goods, stopping in a local café for a perfectly

brewed cup of coffee? Or pulling into an enormous parking lot, squeezing down crowded aisles

surrounded by shelves overfl owing with thousands of items, most of which you don’t need,

standing in long register lines and then schlepping 50 yards through the parking lot to reach

your car? Right. Shopping local is much more pleasant.

Pocono Mountains MusicPocono Mountains Music With acoustics comparable to those of Carnegie Hall, the

Mauch Chunk Opera House, in tiny Jim Thorpe, happens to be

one of the premier music venues in the country. And, proving that

lightening can indeed strike twice, Jim Thorpe also boasts a second

world-class theater for music: Penn’s Peak.

Both Mauch Chunk and Penn’s Peak draw top musical talent

from around the world. This April, Penn’s Peak will present a special

show that is certain to draw fans from far and wide: Glenn Campbell.

With this, his fi nal tour, Mr. Campbell, who was diagnosed with

Alzheimer’s disease last year, will give his millions of fans the joy of

seeing him perform one last time. He will also inspire hope for many

who are facing challenges in life as they witness the 75-year-old’s

performance despite his battling a devastating disease.

Compared with giant sports arenas that frequently host concerts,

Pocono Mountains’ musical venues are intimate. The size of the venues,

however, belies their prestige.

Local music here can skew towards quaint. Monthly bluegrass get-

togethers mark East Stroudsburg’s musical scene. Local rock bands and

folk duets pop up at various bars and night clubs scattered throughout

the region. East Stroudsburg University features classical, opera and

contemporary musical performances. For more information on music in

the Pocono Mountains, turn to Coming Events on page 6.

LACAWAC SANCTUARYLACAWAC SANCTUARY Lacawac Sanctuary, located in the northeastern tip of the Pocono Mountains, is a nature preserve,

ecological fi eld research station and public environmental education facility. The Sanctuary, which is set on

545 acres and includes forests, a lake and a group of buildings built in 1903, many of which are architectural

gems, features fi ve public hiking trails.

The centerpiece of Lacawac Sanctuary is the 52-acre Lake Lacawac, which is the southernmost glacial

lake in the northern hemisphere. Preserved in pristine condition completely free from development and

encroachment, Lake Lacawac is perhaps the most beautiful body of water in Pennsylvania.

Preserving nearly 500

acres of native forest, most

of which is second growth,

Lacawac Sanctuary includes

traces of original forested

areas existing within the

protection of the boreal

bog and on the high side of

the Wallenpaupack Ledges.

The forest is currently in

precarious condition—under

attack from outbreaks of

gypsy moth caterpillars,

tent caterpillars and other

pests. The Sanctuary works

aggressively to take actions

that help protect its indigenous treasures from predators.

POCONOPOCONOMOUNTAINS GOLFMOUNTAINS GOLF Golf, the country’s most popular sport, was fi rst introduced to America in Pennsylvania. As one of

the top—and most affordable—golf destinations, the Pocono Mountains have played a signifi cant role in

the illustrious history of golf in the US.

The Pocono Mountains are home to numerous golf courses designed by legendary Golden Era golf

architects, including Donald Ross and A.W. Tillinghast, as well as modern master Jack Nicklaus.

Shawnee-on-Delaware’s Buckwood Inn hosted the 1938 PGA Championship. In 1943, renowned

band leader Fred Waring, a golf enthusiast, bought Buckwood and renamed it Shawnee Inn. A host of

celebrities fl ocked to the resort, most infamously Jackie Gleason, who shot a 143 in his fi rst golf outing.

He returned 15 months later, dramatically improved through lessons and lots of practice, and shot a 75.

Great golf architect Bill Diddle redesigned Shawnee’s

course during Waring’s ownership. In 1967, Shawnee

hosted the NCAA Championships, which crowned Hale

Irwin winner.

Other Pocono Mountains resorts are blessed with

golf courses that rank among the best in the country. The

Country Club at Woodloch Springs was named “one of

the fi nest courses in America” by Golf magazine and both

Woodloch and Skytop are rated “4.5 Stars” (out of 5) by

Golf Digest’s Best Places to Play.

The Pocono Mountains are blessed with a long golf

season, spectacular natural beauty and more than 30 golf

courses, most of which are less than a two-hour drive from

New York City and Philadelphia. All clubs and resorts listed

here offer one or more 18-hole courses.

submit their ideas for the playground.

Children interested in contributing to this worthy cause can

enter a picture of their playground with a brief description of

how the playground will serve every child’s needs. Entries will

be judged based on inclusion, artistic design and originality. The

deadline to enter is April 30th. Three fi rst place prizes, one for

each age group, will be awarded. The age groups are: 3-8, 9-12

and 13-16.

Contestants must be Monroe County residents. Winners

Exhibits on philosopher Charles

Sanders Peirce, and Father Francis

Craft, liaison at The Battle of

Wounded Knee and 1st white

Chief of the Sioux. WWII posters,

The Mystical HandprintThe Mystical Handprint Like Dracula’s castle, the dark, stone, gothic structure

lurking above the town of Jim Thorpe is set up high, giving

it an air of impenetrability. Merely gazing at the fortress

jogs the imagination, nudges in the direction of a Stephen

King novel. The building simply screams, “Spooky.”

The Old Jail Museum, completed in 1871, was in

use until 1980. Unlike other famous prisons, Alcatraz,

for example, Jim Thorpe’s Old Jail did not incarcerate

the most heinous criminals. In fact, seven men executed

onsite were, quite possibly, innocent.

Seven Irish coal miners, known as the Molly Maguires,

who were found guilty of murdering several of their bosses, were hung in the Old Jail in 1877. Historians now

agree that the Pennsylvania judicial system bowed to the greed of coal mine owners in persecuting the Molly

Maguires, who had formed the fi rst unions to increase wages.

The seven men went to their deaths proclaiming their innocence. One man, before stepping up to the

gallows, put his hand on the fi lthy fl oor of his cell and then placed it fi rmly on the wall swearing, “This handprint

will remain as proof of my innocence.” Today, that handprint is still visible, despite many attempts to eradicate

it by washing it, painting it and even taking down part of the wall and replastering it. Other paranormal activity

reportedly occurs regularly at the Old Jail.

Is the Old Jail haunted? Drop by to fi nd out for yourself: 128 W. Broadway, (570) 325-5259.

The brainchild of Gaylord Nelson, former US Senator from Wisconsin, Earth Day began as an environmental

movement in 1970. Nelson was responding to the ravages wreaked on the environment by the 1969 massive oil

spill in Santa Barbara, California. As a result of Mr. Nelson’s efforts on April 22nd, 20 million Americans took to

the streets, parks and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy sustainable environment.

Groundbreaking environmental laws such as the Endangered Species Act, National Environmental Policy Act

and Clean Air and Clean Water Acts were all passed in the 1970s.

Since its inauguration, Earth Day activities have spread to 192 countries with billions of people participating

in Earth Day worldwide, making it the largest civil observance on the planet.

Here are some of the observances happening in the Pocono Mountains this year:

Nature Bats Last

“When one tugs at a

single thing in nature,

he fi nds it attached to
