West Hanover Township
Antoun behind the scenes

The Patriot-News story seemed oddly familiar -- it had a certain 'Paxton Herald' presence wafting through it ... full story: New organization skirmishes with forerunner over political views

"...Citizens United, a small group of (West Hanover) township residents formed in 1999 to promote good government. The name was registered with the state ... and has been meeting regularly in the township’s municipal building since then.

"On Nov. 9, (2000) a group with opposing political views registered with the state as a nonprofit corporation under the name Citizens United for Quality Government, then told the original Citizens United it could no longer use the name and that it should cancel a planned open-house meeting ... " 

Helen Pinkerman, the township resident listed as the corporate officer of Citizens United for Quality Government wouldn’t say how the group selected its name.

‘We want honest government in the township." Pinkerman said. ‘These people had no right to use my [group’s] name.

"Other than that, I have no comment," Pinkerman said.

We not at all surprised Pinkerman reserved comment.  After all, why reveal to the world that you're a puppet of Annette Antoun?  Honest government indeed!

Pennsylvania Department of State records indeed show Pinkerman listed as the chief executive officer.  More interesting is the name listed as Secretary/Treasurer.  It is none other than Antoun operative, Paxton Herald "reporter"  Robert "Flying Monkey" Kimmel.

But wait, it gets better.  The original handwritten application form on file with the state and part of the public record shows another name in addition to Pinkerman and Kimmel, only it is crossed out.  If you've not already guessed, click on the thumbnail and see for yourself.

She's pulled  this sleazy tactic out of her bag of tricks before.  We well remember Annette  over twenty years ago sweeping into the fellowship hall of Messiah Lutheran Church where we had gathered to organize our neighborhood group.  She announced we were holding an "illegal meeting" since she had already filed papers registering the official neighborhood group with the Pennsylvania Department of State.  See: Old Fox Ridge.

She didn't live in the neighborhood, she just owned property in it.  She doesn't live in West Hanover Township, either.  But she does own a small parcel of land along with Henry Young.  see: Henry Young.
