SUMMARY:Dawn of the Data Centers (Clean Energy for All Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:They’re here…This Halloween\, there’s nothing scarier than a data center proposal! Across Pennsylvania\, data centers are rising up and shambling into our communities\, bringing retired power plants back to life and reinvigorating the push to build new polluting facilities. Data centers can be energy- and water-sucking vampires\, slipping into neighborhoods under existing siting policies intended to regulate very different industries like manufacturing or warehouses. \nIn the next episode of the Clean Energy for All series\, we tell the spooky story of how we got here\, separate facts from fears\, and consider how local governments and community members can utilize existing policies to combat current proposals while preparing smart policies in advance of new threats. We’ll also hear from local organizers who are working right now to shield their communities from the worst impacts of data center development. \nOrganize Before They Rise!

SUMMARY:3rd Annual Western Pocono Trout Unlimited Literature Night
DESCRIPTION:Almost as enjoyable as fishing for wild trout is reading it on a cold winter’s night.  Join Western Pocono Trout Unlimited for its 3rd Annual Trout Literature Night. \nTrout fishing has long been associated with great writing.  Early authors like Izaac Walton\, and Charles Cotton passed the literary torch to other luminaries such as Theodore Gordon\, Sparse Grey Hackle\, Gifford Pinchot\, Arnold Gingrich and Ernie Schwiebert just to name a few.\nLiterary giants like Hemingway and presidents Carter and Hoover wrote of their accounts adding and preserving the poetry and lyricism that trout fishing has cast to those who have enjoyed its adventure and romance throughout the ages. \nThe beautifully renovated White Haven Library and Community Center located so close to  the legendary trout waters of the Lehigh River amidst the Pocono Mountains is the perfect venue to enjoy an evening with friends and their favorite books and passages. \nBring your favorite flannel shirt\, enjoy some hot chocolate and treats\, and kick back for an enjoyable evening with WPTU friends and even some who have locally added to trout lore and literature. \nThe public is invited free. \nCall Mike at 570-926-2535 or 570-454-4682 or the White Haven Library at 570-443-8776 to inquire about cancellations or inclement weather contingency plans.
