Another dead fox in Monroe County leaves behind orphaned young and that's putting a strain on a local wildlife center.

Fox and other animals are being brought to the Pocono Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Center in Hamilton Township with gunshot wounds.

And many of those animals aren't currently in season.

The end result is the orphaned babies are causing the nonprofit to be stretched too thin.

HAMILTON TWP., Pa. -- A Monroe County man and his dog are dead, following a fire at their home.

But a woman was pulled out of the burning home alive. State Police troopers made the rescue overnight in Hamilton Township, near Stroudsburg.

Neighbors say the woman cared for her middle-aged son, who was in a wheelchair, the result of a car accident.

The victims haven't been officially ID'd but the tragic incident is bringing neighbors together.

“We were here when he got Buster, we knew how much he loved Buster.”

Monroe County's nursing home will soon have a new owner.

It was announced today that Pleasant Valley Manor in Snydersville will be sold.

The county run nursing home is privatizing its operations after 100 years due to increasing costs to operate.

But we're told the change will ensure it will continue to serve the community for many years to come.

 

Residents in one part of Monroe County are alarmed they’re soon going to be living next to a landfill.

The property in question is a quarry located in Hamilton Township. Recently the company in charge, Hanson Aggregates, went through a global rebranding to be now known as Heidelberg Materials. And rumors are circulating it was a new owner creating a landfill.

Theatre Heathers

East Stroudsburg University’s Department of Theatre, Music, and Dance will present the hit musical Heathers.  The cast of over 30 students, directed by Jason Narvy, Ph.D., assistant professor of theatre, will welcome audiences April 11 – 14.
