Official Paper More Than
Forty Years

MILFORD — Although it has been publishing much, much longer, the Pike County Dispatch has been the newspaper of record for the County of Pike for more than 40 years. That means the Dispatch is the place to go to find out about public meetings, estate notices, bids, public hearings, real estate sales and transactions, and Sheriff sales.

The Pike County Commissioners listed the Dispatch as an official newspaper for legal notices during their opening meeting of 2014, and once again, during their annual reorganization meetings on the first business day of the New Year, most of the other municipalities in Pike County followed suit. So far, Milford and Matamoras Boroughs, and Westfall, Dingman, Delaware, Shohola, Blooming Grove. Milford and Lehman Townships have made it their business to have the Dispatch as an official newspaper.

So make it your business to keep up with all the news in Pike to print, including official business and legal notices from your town.

New Commission Continues History Of Women’s Rights

By Chris Jones

MILFORD — Pike County reached another milestone in women’s involvement in local government last week when it approved the creation of a Pike County Women’s Commission.
According to the resolution establishing the Commission, the volunteer body will serve as advisors to the county commissioners “for the purposes of evaluating the concerns and needs of women and girls residing in Pike County and making recommendations … as to how to meet those concerns and needs.”
Christa Caceres, a 17-year resident of Pike County and president of the Monroe County Chapter of the NAACP, will lead the commission.
“I look forward to beginning work in 2023,” Caceres said. Commissioner Chairman Matt Osterberg said the committee would consist of a single member from each of Pike County’s 13 municipalities.
Osterberg, a historian, mentioned two previous female Pike County residents who were forces in government and women’s rights: Cornelia Pinchot, wife of former Pa. Gov. Gifford Pinchot; and Dorothy Stroh-Tisdale.
Cornelia Pinchot was an outspoken proponent of Prohibition and women’s voting rights. Osterberg pointed out that in 1932, Stroh-Tisdale, daughter of a former Milford Borough mayor, was elected District Attorney of Pike County, becoming the first female ever elected as a DA in Pennsylvania................................For more information subscribe to our paper.



FAA: Rosado Aviation Flew Illegal Charters
Faces $1,125,640 In Civil Penalties

By Chris Jones

WASHINGTON – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a $1,125,640 civil penalty against Rosado Aviation in Brodheadsville, Pa., for allegedly conducting 52 illegal charter flights.
The FAA provided the Dispatch with a Freedom of Information Act copy of a certified mail letter addressed to “President Rosado Aviation Inc. 1476 Rt 209, Broadheadsville, PA 18332.” dated June 29, 2022.
This is the address of Brodheadsville Chevrolet and the Rosado Group owned by William Rosado, who owns Milford Chrysler and several hospitality businesses in Milford.
The FAA alleges that between May 2019 and February 2021 Rosado Aviation conducted paid passenger-carrying flights in multiple aircraft without the required operating certificate or operations specifications.
The FAA further alleges that the company used unqualified personnel; “including director of operations, chief pilot, or director of maintenance.” It cited Rosado Aviation as the registered owner of three aircraft used in the flights, a Cessna 560, a Beech 220, and a Beech F-90
According to the FAA, Rosado Aviation operated 20 of the 52 flights in question for Metz Culinary Management of Dallas, Pa., a dining management and hospitality operations company. Many of these flights originated at Wilkes-Barre Scranton Intl. Airport and traveled to airports in Maine, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Ohio, South Carolina and North Carolina.
The FAA said the pilot of each flight had not passed a written or oral test, a competency check, instrument proficiency check, training program or flight line check within the required time frames.
“By reason of all of the above, Rosado Aviation operated an aircraft in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another,” the letter stated...............................For more information subscribe to our paper.
