HOHOLA, PA — Amelia and William Pearn own a home in a neighborhood known as Maple Park, which is located next Sdoor to a community called Walker Lake, which is governed by a homeowners’ association called Walker Lakeshores Land- owners Association (WLLA). Since 2010, WLLA has been trying to get the Pearns to pay them thousands of dollars in “dues” or “assessments,” even though their property is not a part of Walker Lake and is not subject to WLLA assessments. That is essentially what two different judges have found. Amelia has recorded this battle in a very detailed manner at the website www.shoholapa.com. One entry that points to the confus- ing relationship between WLLA and Maple Park is this: “Most of Maple Park [about 30 homes] gets some form of ‘billing’ from this HOA [homeowners association]. Some pay, some don’t. Some get sued, some don’t.” The Pearns took title to the property in 2007, and the first billing from WLLA came in 2010; it was for “nonpayment of association dues, $5,440.90 plus attorney’s fees.” The matter went to Magis- terial District Court, where Magistrate Alan Cooper determined that the couple owed $15 per year to WLLA for “water mainte- TRR photo by Amanda Reed nance.” Given the three-year period under consideration, late fees This picture was taken during the solar eclipse on August 21 on the Pennsylvania side of the Upper Delaware River, across the and court costs, the judge ruled that the Pearns owe WLLA $235. river from Narrowsburg, NY.

Loose Leaf Pages serves tea and literature in Honesdale

By IAN PUGH

ONESDALE, PA — Since its grand opening in May, Loose Leaf Pages Hhas served as a welcome addition to Main Street in Honesdale: a combination bookstore and teashop that offers written works from independent publishers and local writers, tea from local sources and activities for aspiring writers and voracious readers alike. “I was born and raised in Honesdale, and I’ve always loved reading,” says Cathleen Lathrop, the owner of Loose Leaf. “That was something my mom and my dad, both teachers, really instilled in me. So I went off to college for English literature—after that I lived in Maryland for a little while. Owner Cathleen Lathrop stands alongside one But I came back home and saw how much of many artistic displays found around the store. was changing, and I felt like if there was any point in time to open a space like this, it would be now.
