ESTATE NOTICE Estate of Ferenc Somogyi, lateof Chestnuthill township, Monroe County, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, deceased.

As a resident deeply rooted in the Pocono  community, I find the recent proposal to shut down the TLC Park basketball courts not only unfair, but detrimental to our town. This move comes in response to a singular, unfortunate incident of violence that happened last week. I believe punishing the entire community for the actions of one individual is a direct attack on the spirit of our community.
