Whenever someone asks why
Im not on Facebook I say, Its
not me.
Well, suddenly I am on Face-
book and guess what? Its still
not me.
Seriously. The Facebook page
bearing my name and photo
was created by someone else.
Ive never seen it nor do I in-
tend to. But apparently hun-
dreds of people have. And they
are all now my friends.
Theres nothing evil or mali-
cious about this. In fact, its
rather touching. But before
getting into all of that, I think I
need to back up a bit for the
sake of my most loyal readers
you sweet little old ladies who
stop me in the supermarket and
tell me how much you love me.
I suspect many of you have no
idea what Facebook is. Good,
youre better off.
For the record, I have never
had a single problem with any
woman over 60 or under 6.
Wish I could say the same
about all the ones in between.
Anyway, Facebook is the
preeminent example of the
phenomenon known as social
media. It allows us to do some-
thing mankind has shied away
from throughout all of his exist-
ence: bare our soul to the entire
world.
Its also a useful tool for
announcing to most everyone
you know, and many you dont,
that youve just fallen in or,
more often, out of love
whether or not youve an-
nounced it to your partner first.
It also affords the opportunity
to, if you desire, tell your hun-
dreds of friends every single
thing you do as you are doing
it. Eds having a beer. Or, Ed is
about to brush his teeth. Or, Ed
just bought peaches at the farm-
ers market. Or, Ed just threw
up.
Isnt that marvelous? Not the
throwing up, of course, but the
technology.
The word friends is in
quotes back there because Face-
book has changed the meaning
of the word friends. Actually,
Facebook has taken the mean-
ing right out of it.
To us old folks, a friendship
was something you built, nur-
tured and cherished. Since the
dawn of Facebook, its some-
thing you establish, or destroy
with the simple click of a
mouse. Thats called progress.
But back to my own new
Facebook page. I think thats
the right term. Or is it a Face-
book account? Or space?
Whatever. Back to that thing
out there on the web that isnt
me and that I have nothing to
do with.
I learned only recently that
anyone can log onto to Face-
book and create a whole profile
yeah, thats the word Im
looking for about someone
else. And thats what someone
did for me.
I had no idea until students
as in every single student I met
in the hallways at the college
started saying, Hey, Ed, you
finally got a Facebook page.
I had no idea what they were
talking about, but, man, were
they talking about it.
Finally one of them said,
Please dont retire.
Pardon me?
Your Facebook. It says you
are thinking about retiring and
everyone is writing to tell you
dont.
That was my first inkling of
what was going on. It didnt
take long to figure out the rest.
Seems it started when a student
had waited after class one day
to tell me I was the reason she
was enrolled at Luzerne County
Community College. She said
she had no intention of attend-
ing college but her sister had
taken her to one of my classes
last spring while she was a
senior in high school and it
turned her whole life around.
She wanted to thank me.
Her kind words were hum-
bling but also quite welcomed
and I told her that. I told her
Im getting to the age when
people consider retirement and
I always said I would only keep
teaching as long as I believed I
was relevant, that I was making
a difference, and her words
helped tip the scales toward not
retiring.
She told this to her sister. Her
sister went to Facebook. And,
just like that, the whole thing
went viral, a social network
term that means just what it
sounds like: it spread like a
virus.
In less than an hour my cell
phone was ringing. It was my
son Michael from Colorado.
Dad, are you on Facebook?
No, I said, and told him the
whole story.
Well, you have 71 friends,
he answered, and one of them
is me. And one of them is Gre-
ta, so plan on having this con-
versation with her too. Later
my daughter Greta called from
Texas to tell me I should go to
my Facebook page which
isnt mine, I kept reminding her
and read all the nice things
students were writing about me.
I told her I wouldnt. For one
thing, I said, how do you know
Im not writing all those nice
things myself? And for another,
I dont know how.

he Tennant-Miller-Jen-
nings streets section of
Port Blanchard, also
known as the Port Patch, was the
hardest hit neighborhood in
Greater Pittston by the Flood of
2011 and the least publicized.
Unlike the devastation along
the heavily traveled River Road
stretch of Port Blanchard and un-
like the devastation in neighbor-
hoods in West Pittston and Du-
ryea, which are highly visible
from busy Rts. 92 and 11, the
Tennant-Miller-Jennings section
is hidden from easy view by a
raised railroad bed and the
homes and businesses on River
Road.
Tennant, the only road into the
Patch, intersects River Road at
the traffic signal at the Jenkins
Township entrance to the Eighth
Street Bridge.
The neighborhood has 28
houses mostly singles with a
few multi-unit rentals five on
Tennant on the River Road side
of the rail bed and 23 on Tennant,
Miller and Jennings on the other
side of the tracks.
All 28 were flooded on the
first floor with water reaching
the second floor on several.
More than one-third of the 23
homes on the south side of the
tracks have been declared unsafe
for occupancy. The river didnt
just rise in the patch, it raged,
tearing away foundations, creat-
ing sink holes, collapsing build-
ings and a leaving a trail of mud
and debris including hundreds of
pallets and, in one yard, what
looks like a large section of a
dock.

homes belong to 84-year-old
Annamae Nocera and her son-
in-law Dan Fritz. At Noceras
Cape Cod style house at the bot-
tom of the railroad bank and at
the corner of Tennant and Miller,
the water line was three-feet up
the main roof. The foundation
blocks were pushed into the
basement leaving a gaping tun-
nel under the length of the house.
Next door at 1 Miller, Fritzs
foundation was washed away.
Next door to that at 2 Miller a
doublewide rental owned by
Fritz was completely under-
mined. It split like a V with the
middle collapsing into the base-
ment.
Mike Nocera, Annamaes son,
grew up in the in his mothers
house. As a real estate agent who
sold a house in the neighborhood
andhas one posted, hes beenact-
ing as a sort of unofficial spokes-
man for the neighborhood by
calling township, county, state
and federal agencies. His moth-
ers house is beyond saving.
On Wednesday morning he
hadlots of questions. Whos go-
ing to condemn it? Whos going
to demolish it? Whos going to
haul away the debris?
There are no easy answers,
though the situation did become
clearer later on Wednesday when
Jason Humenanski inspected the
Nocera house and others in the
Patch. Eight homes were de-
clared unsafe, Humenanski
said. I hate touse the wordcon-
demned. When people hear that
they assume were (Jenkins
Township) going to demolish the
building. Thats not the case.
The sign Humenanski put on
Noceras home, seven other
Patch homes, as well as some on
River Road reads: This building
is unsafe and its use or occupan-
cy has been prohibited by the
building inspector.
That can make Nocera and the
other homeowners eligible for a
FEMA buyout, a process known
as mitigation.
FranHealey, wholives alone at
20 Jennings in a house not de-
clared unsafe and who does not
have flood insurance, is one of
several Patch residents who have
already received checks from
FEMA for home reconstruction.
Asked if he got enough to re-
buildhe said, I thinkso. Ill have
to see when I get an estimate.
Healey said hed rather not
move, but is wary. Its a nice
quiet neighborhood. Theres no
crime. Its a beautiful place to
live. But howmany times do you
want to keep going through
this?
On Friday State Rep. Mike
Carroll said Healeys question is
the right one. My preference
would be not to rebuild. I called
JimBrozena and he agreed most
or all of the homes in the Patch
should be mitigated. Brozena is
the head of the countys Flood
Protection Authority.
The problem with the mitiga-
tion plan is it takes time. Before
FEMA steps in, the agency will
want to see what insurers will do
for the covered homes. While
FEMA acted fairly quickly in
getting checks to homeowners
like Healey, mitigation is a long-
er and more complicated proc-
ess, which requires FEMA and
the homeowners to come to an
agreement on a buyout figure
near the pre-flood fair market
value. FEMAwouldthendemol-
ish the home and the lot would
revert to a permanent green
space.
Mitigating a whole neighbor-
hood, or at least all those that
want to get out, can take years.
Carroll said its understandable
residents have to live somewhere
and are putting their homes back
together in the meantime.
Nevertheless Carroll said his
goal is to work at all levels
county, state and federal to get
as many residents out as want to
get out, whether their homes
were declared unsafe or not. We
have to get them out before the
next flood, because its going to
happen again.
Denise Shaver is a homeowner
at 13 Tennant Street who would
happily accept a fair mitigation
settlement. Her home is one of
the five onthe River Roadside of
the tracks. She had water onto

A
coin toss can mean a
great deal of things. At a
high school football
game last Saturday it meant a
community has not forgotten the
ultimate sacrifice of one of its
own.
On that day, the Pittston Area
football game against visiting
Dallas was dedicated to the
memory of U.S. Army Specialist
Dale Kridlo, who was killed in
action in Afghanistan last Nov. 7
With fans in the grandstands
of Charley Trippi Stadium for
Homecoming, an afternoon
crowd took a moment of silence
as two squads of captains gath-
ered around the center of the
field before the coin toss. There,
in the middle, was Al Kridlo,
Dales father.
Dale graduated from Pittston
Area, and he loved football, said
his dad, who had the honor of
tossing the coin.
The ceremony was staged not
only in remembrance of Dale,
but also in recognition of all the
lives lost in war. The resonance
was powerful.
It was on November 7, 2010
that Spc. Kridlo was killed serv-
ing his nation in the Kunar Prov-
ince of Afghanistan. He was 33.
With the first anniversary of
his passing just a little more than
a month away, there are no fad-
ingmemories of Dales sacrifice,
but rather vibrantly strong and
meaningfully remembrances.
This is what happens to a fall-
en hero in his hometown.
Every honor that has been of-
fered to Dale, Al Kridlo has re-
ceived in a meaningful way. I
feel a joy from the community
that is sometimes missing in
life, he explained Thursday af-
ternoon as he reflected on last
Saturdays game. There is a
fullness of community and
with friends and family, he add-
ed.
Other times, he said, you
have to go on. Youre forced to.
In this past year, Dale has been
remembered in many ways and
bymanypeople. The PittstonTo-
mato Festival 5Krun was held in
honor of Dale. Part of the pro-
ceeds from the summer concert
event, The Junction Jam, are go-
ing to be used to build a donation
tree at the Pittston Memorial Li-
brary in honor of Dale and First
Lt. Jeffrey DePrimo, another
Greater Pittston native, who was
killed on duty in Afghanistan in
2008.
One of the things that makes
me sad, Al explained, is that
there are so many people who
dont know were still at war.
Last Saturday, people knew.
Al is grateful almost beyond
words. I cant thank anybody
truly enough, he stated. I
couldnt have asked for anything
more.
Much has been written about
Dale Kridlo, a father, a son, a
brother, a friend, an American

her second floor. She found a
rental and is not going to move
back to Tennant. The last she
heard her neighbors are not com-
ing back either.
Shaver said she was ap-
proached before the flood by
representatives of Sheetz a
large-scale convenient/gas is-
land chain about buying her
out.
While its confirmed Sheetz
did talk to the five homeowners
on the River Road side of Ten-
nant, the company never submit-
ted any building plans to the
township.
Some residents on the other
side of the tracks said they heard
Mericle Development Company,
who owns adjacent property, is
considering offering buyouts.
Though the subject was
broached briefly at a township
meetinggivingit some credence,
it is still considered a rumor.
Buyouts of any type would be
welcome in the Patch.
In contrast to neighborhoods
in West Pittston and Duryea
which are beehives of activity
with residents, volunteers and
hired crews cleaning, hauling
debris and rebuilding, the Port
Blanchard Patch looks like it has
been abandoned.
As Nocera put it, It looks like
a ghost town.
Renters just walked away.
Many of the homeowners are se-
nior citizens who lived alone and
dont have the wherewithal,
money or support for cleanouts.
On Thursday only a handful of
residents were at their homes
working or waiting for inspec-
tors or insurance adjusters.
Ray Yacabowski is retired and
lives alone in the house where he
grew up at 8 Jennings Street. He
said some Kings College stu-
dents stopped by to help him
clean up for two hours, but that
was all the help hes had.
His first floor was filled with 7
1/2 feet of water to just under the
ceiling.
His foundation is cracked and
the floor boards on his front
porch are buckled.
On Thursday as he carried
some debris out of his house, in-
cluding a framed collection of
signed baseball cards, he said he
didnt know what to do next. He
hasnt even gone into his cellar
yet. He has flood insurance and
his adjuster did inspect the
house.
That was a week ago and as of
Thursday he hadnt heard any-
thing about a settlement fromhis
insurance company or FEMA.
He is staying with friends in
Wyoming.
Another problem associated
with the flood clean up is landfill
tipping fees. Jenkins Township
has already been billed $50,000
in tipping fees.
Carroll said the affected mu-
nicipalities will get reimbursed
for the landfill tipping fees from
dumping flood debris.
Weve got to get this stuff
cleaned up, Carroll said. If the
government cant pay for that
then a pox on all of us.

soldier, but he was also a true-to-

hard fan of football. Just ask his
dad.
As Al walked off the gridiron,
he thought of Dale. I did feel a
thought of him as I was walking
off the field, he said, and I
thought everybody in this com-
munity loves you.
However, Dale, like Al, loved
a good game. The Patriots lost to
the Mountaineers 21-14, with
Dallas scoring the game-win-
ning touchdown in the 4th quar-
ter with just under one minute
left.
It felt good, and I think Dale
would have been really glad it
was such a close game, Al said,
before adding with a chuckle,
but he would have been pissed
they lost.

It was either one heck of a
tip or one heck or a mistake.
Clearing a table where three
men from the AmVets Honor
Guard had stopped for coffee
on the way to a Vets funeral
on a Saturday, Pittston Diner
waitress Deb Harth found
three 20 dollar bills on top of
two hundreds.
Obviously, she said with a
laugh, it wasnt a tip.
Harth put the $260 in an
envelope and gave it to the
diner owner.
Meanwhile, after the funeral,
Tony Kotlowski, one of the
AmVets Honor Guards, stop-
ped at the Dupont VFW. Reac-
hing in his pocket he found his
money clip empty.
On Sunday as he mentally
retraced his steps he called the
diner, but there must have
been a communication break-
down because he was told no
money had been found.
Then on Monday Jerry
Guarneri one of the AmVet
guards who had been with
Kotlowski the previous Satur-
day stopped at the diner for
breakfast. One of the waitress-
es said, Weve got your
friends money.
Guaneri called Kotlowski
and he came to the diner to
get his money. Harth wasnt
there, but he left a tip for her.
Kotlowski said Harth could
have easily slipped the money
into her pocket without anyone
knowing. Hes impressed by
her honesty.
I dont know if I would
have done what she did. I
think I would, but I really
dont know.
Harth the mother of four
boys, one university pharmacy
major, two Pittston Area foot-
ball players and a PA sixth
grader said she never consid-
ered keeping the money, not
even for a moment. They
come in a lot, she said.
Theyre Vets. I couldnt do
that to them or anybody. I
know if I lost $260 Id want it
returned. He gave me a nice
tip, so it pays to be honest.
When one of her co-workers
said Harth set a nice example
for her sons, Harth said, I try
to.
Kotlowski said he got good
vibes from the incident. In
todays world, its tough out
there. It makes you feel good
thats theres still honest peo-
ple.

JAs fifth annual Taste of Success this Thursday
The Kings College Theatre De-
partment will continue its tradition
of opening each academic year with
a Shakespeare production with its
performances of one of the Bards
silliest comedies Merry Wives of
Windsor Oct. 5-8 at 8 p.m. in the
Kings Theatre, located in the Ad-
ministration Building on North Riv-
er Street.
Sir John Falstaff, the tavern bad
boy and knight of misrule in Shak-
espeares history plays, meets his
match when he tries to scam the
housewives of suburban Windsor.
And he is not alone. All manner of
jealous, hotheaded, pompous and
just plain silly men are brought
firmly to their senses by Windsors
merry women.
As the Roaring Twenties decline,
this play emerges with even more
wit and style as the wives aban-
doned their Victorian garb for the
ways of 20th Century England. Oc-
curring between the world wars in
England, a new sense of freedom,
vitality, and colorful jazz will ac-
company this familiar story where
virtue and middle-class common
sense triumph with the assurance
that Wives may be merry, and yet honest too.
Kings Theatre Department brings a cast of more than 20 students to the stage. Local cast mem-
bers include John Bubul, West Pittston (Bardolph); Michael Conklin, Plymouth (Simple); Sam
Groome, Berwick (Nym); AdamMcGahee, Wilkes-Barre (Doctor Caius); Anthony Melf, Wilkes-
Barre (Pistol); DJ Nat, Plains (Master Page); Brian Palladino, Larksville (Slender); Karley Stasko,
Warrior Run (Mistress Page); Lukas Tomasacci, Shickshinny (Sir JohnFalstaff), Jon Vojtko,
Wyoming (Master Fenton), and Olivia Walakovits, Whitehall (Anne Page).
Tickets are free for Kings students, faculty and staff, and $10 general admission. Students/senior
citizens, $5. For more information or to reserve tickets, call the box office at (570) 208-5825 or
e-mail boxoff@kings.edu.
Rehearsing for Kings upcoming production of Shakespeares comedy Merry Wives of Wind-
sor, are, clockwise fromleft: Lukas Tomasacci (Sir John Falstaff), Brandi George (Mistress Ford),
Meg Callan (Mistress Quickly), and Karley Stasko (Mistress Page).

For Mary Jo Reedy and her
business Lgendes Salon at
428 North Main St. in Pittston
the flood was more of an annoy-
ance than a disaster and she has a
plan to use the salon to help the
Red Cross and flood victims, or
as she likes to call them, flood
survivors.
Shes been offering free hair-
cuts to flood survivors and on
Wednesday she and her salons
skin care company, Murad, are
having an open house at L-
gendes from 3 to 7 p.m.
Amy Jordan of the Red Cross
will be there accepting dona-
tions. A Chinese auction of skin
care products, hair care products
and other donated items will also
benefit the Red Cross. Mary Jo
said with a laugh she will use her
employee Amanda to sell arms
lengths of tickets, because she
has short arms.
There also will be drawings
for flood survivors for free bas-
kets of shampoos, conditioners,
hair dryers, hair strengtheners
and other products. Food and re-
freshments will be served.
Mary Jo said Murad is host-
ing, Asexy eye event of affirm-
ing eye treatment and also class-
es on how to create a sultry look
for the fall.
MaryJo, whohas beeninbusi-
ness in the century-old building
for three years, said quick re-
sponse by the city may saved her
salon.
The basement took on eight
feet of water and knocked out the
furnaces, hot water heaters and
air conditioning units. She called
9-1-1 as the water rose within a
foot of the first floor.
Fire Chief Bill Williams re-
sponded and set up pumps. He
kept checking in on us through-
out the night. Mayor Klush came
and put gas and oil in the pumps.
He was in work clothes and work
boots. I didnt know who he was
and it was comical when he in-
troduced himself. I thought
wow this guy knows how to
work. He and Bill Williams
checked back with us frequently
to make sure the pump was run-
ning and had oil and gas.
Mary Jo didnt have insurance
to cover her losses, but quickly
cleanedupandgot a newfurnace
and water heater at her own ex-
pense. We had to get the busi-
ness up and running again. We
couldnt stay down for a long pe-
riod of time.

benefit event call 602-3000 or

CORPUS CHRISTI PARISH
605Luzerne Ave, West Pittston
It all started on Sunday, Sep-
tember 11, after the 10:30 a.m.
Mass with a few phone calls to a
couple of parishioners asking
them to spread the word that
Corpus Christi Parish would
feed our people. And spread
the word they did.
On Monday morning the
kitchen in ICC was filled with
volunteers preparing the first
meal of meatballs, sauce, pasta,
salad, bead, and desserts. Parish-
ioners had no idea if they were
preparing enough dinners, but
they knew we would make it
work.
By Monday afternoon, after
seeing it on the parish website,
the calls to help started pouring
in.from neighboring
churches, businesses, civic and
communitygroups andindividu-
als. Probably the best way to de-
scribe it is the Gospel story of
the loaves and the fishesa
fear of running out of food, in
comes a group of people with
trays and trays of hot home
cooked foods ready to serve and
deliver.
The massiveness of this en-
deavor would not have been pos-
sible and could not continue
without the help of hundreds of
volunteers from the surrounding
communities, churches and or-
ganizations.
As the programenters its third
week, and after serving thou-
sands of dinners, hearing many
stories of loss and destruction,
the parish still witnesses miracle
after miracle.
To the many of you who have
given monetary donations to
help us continue to feed our
neighbor..thank you. To the
many of you who have and con-
tinue to volunteer your time-
....cooking, delivering, cleaning,
shopping, sorting clothing, etc-
.thank you.
If you wish to volunteer at ICC
or Holy Redeemer, to do some
food prep, sort clothing, clean
the hall & kitchen and deliver
food, and especially to help de-
liver the dinners, volunteers are
at ICCdaily from10:00 a.m. and
at HRfrom2:00 p.m. Stop in and
let us know when you can help.
This week the parish is in need
of baked goods to serve with the
dinners. If you can help, just
dropthemoff at ICChall or HRC
hall.
CCDclasses will start on Sun-
day, October 23, at both loca-
tions Immaculate Conception
and Holy Redeemer. If you have
not yet registered your child,
please do so now. Forms can be
found in the vestibules of the
churches. There is a registration
fee of $25 per child or maximum
of $50.00 per family.
You do not have to pay the fee
at this time, but we want all chil-
dren to be registered so enough
books and supplies can be or-
dered.
Starting Wednesday, October
5, all are invited every Wednes-
day to spend some quiet time
with the Lord. Adoration will

answer a paternity test question: Must a judge order a
paternity test on request, or can she refuse if she believes
it is not in the childs best interest? She must order the test,
said the Maryland Court of Special Appeals in a recent
decision. Requests can come from the Social Services
Administration, the childs birth mother, a man who
believes he may be the father or wants to prove he could
not be. A judge can also order a test on her own initiative.

Evidence of flood destruction is all
around us. For many of us our only con-
nection to the destruction is seeing it
through the windowas we pass by in a car
going about our normal routine. We may
shake our heads and mutter, oh those
poor people. But sitting in that car un-
affected we can never know just how
poor those people are, even if they have
means
Those of us who have helped in the
clean up or harbored friends or relatives
are a little closer to the tragedy, but even
then we can never imagine what the flood
victims are feeling.
Lets try.
Imagine coming home from work to-
morrow and finding your refrigerator,
stove, washer and dryer out of order and
beyond repair. Then imagine that didnt
really matter because you suddenly didnt
have electricity to run themanyway. Then
imagine it didnt matter because you sud-
denly didnt have anything to put in the
refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer any-
way.
Imagine you suddenly had no vehicle.
Imagine wedding albums, collections,
and childrens school projects washed
away.
Imagine having nothing but the clothes
on your back. Quite literally that, as you
try to imagine your house, your home,
marked by a big orange X surrounded
by police tape, uninhabitable, doomed to
be demolished.
Imagine your only livelihood is your
own small business. Now imagine over-
night it no longer exists.
Talk to such victims and many of them
will seemstoic at first. Theyvowtheywill
be back. They may even joke and laugh.
But talk to them long enough and eventu-
ally they breakdown.
And who can blame them?
Now imagine you are standing, hungry
and tired, in the empty shell of what was
once your home and along come some
perfect strangers with food, with strong
arms, with energy.
This is a scenario that has been happen-
ing everyday, over and over, since the wa-
ter receded three weeks ago.
We cant say enough about church
groups, service organizations, school
clubs and sports teams, police and fire-
men, street department workers, council-
men, mayors and even random strangers
who have made it their mission to help.
We cant imagine where the victims
would be without them.
Imagine it
was you
In June of this year, our son Eric was diagnosed with an epen-
dymoma, a type of brain tumor. He underwent surgery at The
Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia followed by proton radiation
therapy, which recently concluded. It has been a long and diffi-
cult road, but we are lookingforwardtoa longandhealthyfuture.
Our family would like to thank everyone who has kept Eric in
their thoughts and prayers throughout this ordeal. Words or
deeds can never express what your support and prayers have
meant to our family.
Special thanks to Dr. Jim Tricarico and staff for their prompt
referral to the wonderful doctors and staff at The Childrens Hos-
pital of Philadelphia; to the caring and compassionate doctors
and staff at CHOP; Monsignor Sempa of Corpus Cristi Parish
for his constant support, guidance and visits during this trying
time; our familyfor their love, prayers andunendingsupport; our
West Pittstonfamily, the Angelis, the Minichellos, the Melberg-
ers andthe Scalzos, for beingthere withus througheverystepof
this strenuous journey; Erics friends for their continuous phone
calls, texts, visits andinclusionwiththeir everydaylife; all of our
friends and members of our community who offered prayers,
support and encouragement through this unimaginable ordeal.
We would also like to thank the West Pittston Little League
Organization for holding their annual charity wiffle ball tourna-
ment for Eric and our family. Thank you to all of our family and
friends who worked so hard to make it a successful and fun day!
We sincerely appreciate the numerous donations, baskets and
treats.
Thank you to the WA Key Club members who volunteered
their time. And in a time when our town was in the midst of a
flooding disaster, it was truly astonishing to see our community,
even people we did not know, rally around our son. We are
blessed to live in such a kind, caring and compassionate area.
At the wiffle ball tournament, there was alsoanAlexs Lemon-
ade Stand to raise money for the ALSF (Alexs Lemonade Stand
Foundation). The ALSFfunds various researchprojects working
nonstop to find a cure for childhood cancer. We are proud to say
we raised over $200 to help fight childhood cancer.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the volun-
teers who assisted our flood victims at the Wyoming Area Sec-
ondary Center cafeteria; the members of the Red Cross, teach-
ers, support staff, cafeteria workers and members of the commu-
nity who assisted us in caring for these flood victims.
Also, wed like to thank all the volunteers who helped our resi-
dents in their cleanup efforts, including the Wyoming Area stu-
dents. Once again, this demonstrates the tight knit and caring
community that we live in, with people reaching out to others at
their most vulnerable time. We are proud and honored to be part
of it. The devastationthat the floodcausedtoour communitywas
a humbling experience for all of us. Our hearts go out to the
wonderful residents of the Wyoming Area community as you
rebuild your lives, homes and businesses. Our sincerest regards
and best wishes as you fight back.

As the page on the calendar is turned to October
thoughts of a holiday celebrated and honored since
early childhood comes to mind. It is Columbus
Day celebrated on Monday, October 10. A holiday
that does not receive the bells and whistles as other
prominent American holidays but to me and many
others of Italian American ancestry it is a special
day.
Columbus Day became a Federal Holiday in
1937 by proclamation of the Congress and Presi-
dent Franklin Delano Roosevelt as a result of the
lobbying by the Knights of Columbus who chose
Christopher Columbus a
fitting symbol of Cathol-
ic immigrants rights to
citizenship.
This year, the 34th an-
nual Columbus Day Ban-
quet will be held on Sun-
day, October 9, by mem-
bers of the Italian Amer-
ican Association of
Luzerne County at the
Genetti Hotel and Con-
ference Center inWilkes-
Barre beginning at 5:00
p.m. with cocktails, din-
ner at 6:00 p.m. and
dancing to the music of
Danny Argo and Friends.
The highlight of the
evening will be the pre-
sentation of the Person of
the Year and Lifetime
Achievement Award pre-
sented annually to persons for distinguished ser-
vice to the Association and in various fields of en-
deavor.
The recipients have been selected for Dedication
and Untiring Efforts on behalf of the association,
Leadership, Volunteerismin the community, coun-
ty and church, Promoting Italian Culture, Preserv-
ing Italian Traditions, and Foremost for Instilling
Family Values.
The Rev. Paul McDonnell, victor of the Oblates
of St. Joseph, Yatesville, has been selected to re-
ceive the 20ll Person of the Year Award. Father
McDonnell, a native of West Pittston, is the son of
an Irish American father Thomas McDonnell and
an Italian American mother Shirley Petrilla, will be
the recipient
Patricia Stella, a resident of Laflin a former
school teacher, is currently the owner and operator
of eleven McDonalds franchises in Northeastern
Pennsylvania that employ 568 people.
With the guidance and example of her parents
Pat and Frank Colletti, who invested their live sav-
ings, the first McDonalds was opened on the
ONeil Highway in Dunmore.
Pat was 30 years of age and the youngest fran-
chise owner at that time.
Inadditiontooverseeingher enterprises, Patricia
serves on the Boards of the Ronald McDonald
House in Scranton, Volunteers of America,
Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, the Amer-
ican Red Cross and is a former President of the
Penns Woods Girl Scout Council. She is married to
Joseph Stella.
Other prominent recipients of the Lifetime
Achievement Awardare Judge GiffordS. Cappelli-
ni; State Senator Raphael Musto; Attorney Mi-
chael I. Butera; Sandy In-
salaco; Dr. Joseph Lom-
bardo; Carmen Ambrosi-
no; and Joseph Paglianite.
The Italian American
Association begins its cel-
ebrationof Columbus Day
on Friday, October 7, with
a ceremony and flag rais-
ing in the Luzerne County
Courthouse in Wilkes-
Barre at 9:30 a.m. Judge
Joseph Augello is chair-
man.
On Sunday, October 9,
membership and friends
will attend Mass at St.
Roccos Church in Pitt-
ston at 9:30 a.m.
Rev. Joseph Sibliano,
OSJ, will celebrate the
Italian American Mass.
Following Mass the as-
sembly will march to the Columbus statue to the
beat of the Pacis Band to South Main Street where
yearly a commemorative ceremony with the plac-
ing of a wreath is held.
This is a tradition that began with the Columbus
League in the early1900s. Judge Augello will pre-
side at the ceremony.
James Deice and Herman Castellani, president,
are serving as chairman and co-chairman. Reser-
vations may be made by calling Louise Castellani
at 654-6454 and Judy Deice at 654-7600.
Leonard Cumbo, who is sorely missed and
served as Treasurer of the Association and chair-
man of the ad booklet since early inception, is in
our thoughts and minds.
Leonard was the heart who gave of his time will-
ingly and lightened meetings and functions with
his teasing mannerism.
Rest In Peace.
Thank you, Mr. Christopher Columbus for your
determination and conviction, and to our immi-
grant parents who had the courage to leave their
native lands.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Celebrating our heritage,
honoring our ancestry
This year, the 34th annual
Columbus Day Banquet will
be held on Sunday, October
9, by members of the Italian
American Association of Lu-
zerne County at the Genetti
Hotel and Conference Cen-
ter in Wilkes-Barre begin-
ning at 5:00 p.m. with cock-
tails, dinner at 6:00 p.m.
and dancing to the music of
Danny Argo and Friends.
Just this past week we encountered the seasons shift. We said
goodbye to summer and hello to fall. Missing those fresh garden veg-
etables? Well summer isnt the only season which provides us with
fresh produce. Fall gives us nutrient-rich root vegetables like pota-
toes, winter squash and sweet potatoes. Some of these veggies just
take a bit longer to bake and or cook.
Winter squash comes in many varieties, including butternut, acorn
and spaghetti. The dark orange and deep yellow color of winter
squash indicates a vegetable packed with rich nutrients like vitamin
A which is needed for vision, immune function, and skin health.
Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin Aand are lowin
calories. A plain baked sweet potato contains 115 calories and has 4
grams of heart-healthy fiber. But the vegetables nutritional value is
often negated when we add lots of brown sugar, marshmallows and
butter to it.
Parsnips are often overlooked, but are a high energy, low-fat, nutri-
ent-dense vegetable. One medium parsnip has 115 calories with 6
grams of fiber, and like other fall vegetables provides plenty of vita-
min C and potassium.
Carrots are a great source of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene provides
your body with vitamin A. One cup of sliced, canned carrots has 45
calories.
Turnips add a tangy flavor and a sharp bite to soups, salads and side
dishes. One medium turnip has only 30 calories yet includes 25 per-
cent of the daily need for vitamin C. Turnips are a fair source of
potassium with nearly 200 mg. For a nutrition boost, cook turnips
with the greens.
Potatoes are a naturally fat free food. One medium baked potato
without sour creamand butter has about 145 calories and provides 35
grams of carbohydrates. Potatoes account for 25 percent of our daily
need for vitamin Cwhich is important for healing wounds. They also
provide 650 mg of potassiumto aid muscle and nerve activity. Below
is a recipe that uses many fall vegetables fromthe Cancer Institute for
Cancer Research.

round was broken Friday
on the Hitchner project
in West Pittston. The
nonprofit development compa-
ny, United Neighborhood Cen-
ters of Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia is refurbishing the historic
Hitchner Biscuit Company bak-
ery into a complex of 16 one-,
two- and three-bedroom apart-
ments. The project is expected to
cost over $5 million.
The Hitchners Bakery was al-
ready 40 years old when it
opened its huge, new, state-of-
the-art, national-scope, com-
mercial bakery on Exeter Ave-
nue in West Pittston in 1910.
Mike Hanley of UNC said the
building will be developed into
mid-income apartments for
working families while preserv-
ingsome of the historical aspects
of the building including its
name. It will be called the
Hitchner Building.
In the bakerys hey-day from
the 1910s through the 1940s the
company produced, as one of the
companys ads proclaimed, an
ABC of cookies and crackers
from Acorn Crackers and Creso
Biscuits to Vanilla Cremes and
Zehu Bars. Creso Biscuits,
which were named by an em-
ployee who won 50 bucks, were
creme soda biscuits which were
dubbed The biscuit that made
West Pittston famous.
The bakery closed in1952 and
in the ensuing half-century the
building went through a series of
owners of manufacturing busi-
nesses before it finally closed for
good more than 20 years ago.
Abandoned, the building dete-
riorated. Though structurally
sound, it became an eyesore.
Worse, it was a potential fire
hazard as it was packed with a
plastic material, in bales and
rolls, used in Easter basket straw
which was left by the last own-
ers.
In 2006 new members of the
West Pittston council, Brian
Thornton, Pete Musinski and
Kevin Lescavage who had run
on a platform that included ad-
dressing the Hitchner building
and Mayor Bill Goldsworthy
asked borough solicitor Charles
Bufalino to research the build-
ing. It took eight months of
work. Eventually Bufalino, who
has since died, arranged for the
borough to buy the building at a
tax sale for $68,000.
Lescavage cleaned the build-
ing for $38,000. It took him five
months torecycle 28trailer loads
of the plastic materials, five
truckloads of paper and card-
board and dispose of 16 trailers
of junk.
The borough sold the building
for $350,000 and made a profit
of more than $200,000.

Question #1
The Community
Chest game cards
were included in the
world famous board
game, Monopoly, in
the 1920s. What other
game also had these
cards?
1948 - 63 Years Ago
The Greater Pittston Community
Chest announced their fund drive. The
charity supported the Scouts, YMCA,
Salvation Army and Catholic Charities,
visiting nurses, clinics and hospitals.
The Kehoe Berge Coal Company was
the first contributor donating $1,000 to
the fund. John Kehoe Jr., general man-
ager of the company, presented a check
to William Bonser, general chairman of
the campaign. Employees of the compa-
ny were encouraged to donate as well.
The Community Chest quota for the
1948 fund drive was $78,541. The Feder-
ation for Charity and Philanthropy
founded the first Community Chest,
Community Fund, in 1913 in Cleve-
land, Ohio. The number of Community
Chest organizations increased from 39
to 353 between 1919 and 1929, and sur-
passed 1,000 by 1948. By 1963, and after
several name changes, the term United
Way was adopted in the United States.
Frank P. Dills, Avoca native and son
of the owner of Dills Funeral Home,
returned home after fulfilling an impor-
tant duty with the United States Graves
Commission. Dills was sent to the Pacif-
ic to disinter war dead at Manila, Okina-
wa, Iwo Jima, Singapore, Calcutta and
at Nichols Field in the Philippines and
Brisbane, Australia. Nearly 80,000 U.S.
troops died in the Pacific, many buried
in almost 200 battlefield cemeteries
there. The first returns of World War II
casualties took place in the fall of 1947,
six years after the attack at Pearl Harbor.
Eventually, 171,000 of the roughly
280,000 identified remains were brought
back to the U.S.
1958 53 Years Ago
Upon his retirement and after working
51 years with the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road, Michael Gillis of Pittston visited
one last time with his co-workers. Vic-
tor Musselman, James Gildea, James
Law, Frank Brandenburg, John Cook,
Bart Sheehan, Frank Houser, Ray
Donahue, Thomas Reilly, John Ryan
and Thomas Herron gave Michael a
hearty send-off. Michael and his wife
Mary had three children, Matthew of
Old Forge, John of White Plains, New
York and Alphonsus at home.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, Which type of work is
harder mental or physical?
Rocco Policare answered, Mental
work is more tiring and will eventually
become physical labor as it slows your
body up.
Dorothy Robin Jacobson of West
Pittston stated, My favorite motto is a
busy hand is a healthy hand.
Ross Baccanari of Pittston comment-
ed, A person who performs mental
work thinks there is nothing more tiring,
but convince a fellow who loads coal
cars in the mines.
Carol Bellanca of Pittston said, I do
bookkeeping, I prefer it to any other
type of work. I wouldnt say it was par-
ticularly tiring.
Michael Barber, a local Ford dealer,
handed over the keys to a brand new
1958 Sedan to Sarah Coyne Jordan,
president of the Jenkins-Yatesville Joint
School District. The car was slated to be
used for the schools driver training
classes.
The Washington and Wilson schools
combined PTA initiated plans for the
annual Halloween Dance. Disc jockey
George Gilbert of WARM radio was
the feature attraction for event. PTA
officers Lillian Witkowski, Marie
Scazafava, Sophie Lojewski and Car-
melita Sokolowski invited all students
of Duryea and Greater Pittston area.
Luchetti Sales and Service of Exeter
announced that there were only two
Edsels left in their 1958 close out spe-
cial sale. Detatos Super Market sold
choice rib steak for $.59 per pound,
butter at $.59 per pound, short ribs went
for $.35 per pound. At William P. Bon-
ser of West Pittston, Firestone Super
Champion Tires were $11.95 and $12.95
and at Zellers Furniture on Main Street
in Pittston a 5-piece convertible living
room set was $159.00.
1968 43 Years Ago
The Pittston Area Patriots football
team played their first game in their new
stadium in Yatesville. The more than
12,000 fans that crowded into the lighted
stadium were prepared to see a victory
over the Blakely Bears. However it was
the Bears that came out on top securing
a 33-0 victory.
To the chagrin of the Pittston Area
Booster Club, the school board an-
nounced that they would not approve the
boosters carrying out the same fund
raising programs as it had done in the
past. The board advised the boosters in a
letter that they would take control of the
concessions which the year before had
totaled $25,000. With these monies, the
club had purchased many items for the
team and the field. The board limited
the boosters to only selling member-
ships.
The Sunday Dispatch posed the ques-
tion to readers, What if parochial
schools closed?
At the beginning of the 1968 school
year, students from the Franklin School
were housed in the deteriorating Wilson
Building in Pittston. Meanwhile many
parochial school students were transfer-
ring to public schools in the district.
School officials looked to the future and
concluded that the time was right to plan
for construction of new elementary
buildings. With students enrolled in St.
Johns; St. Roccos; St Marys in Upper
Pittston; St. Marys Assumption; St.
John the Baptist; St. Marys, Avoca;
Sacred Heart in Dupont and Holy Ros-
ary in Duryea, plans were suggested to
address the possibility of eventual turn-
over of parochial students to the public
school system.
John S. Lacomis returned to Avoca a
recipient of the Silver Star awarded to
him for gallantry in action in Vietnam.
Lacomis serving as a medical aidman
with Company A south of DaNang, and
under heavy enemy fire, rescued and
treated wounded until evacuated. Laco-
mis entered the service on Sept. 6, 1966.
Question #2
In 1968, what did Dupont have for the
first time?
1978 33 Years Ago
Mary Figel LaTorre of Yatesville
and Charles LaTorre of Pittston were
glued to their television sets as the mini-
series Centennial aired on NBC. Their
grandson eight-year-old Tony LaTorre
had a role along side Michael Ansara,
Robert Conrad and Richard Cham-
berlain. Born in California to Carmella
and Joseph LaTorre, Tony became
enamored with show business at an
Elvis concert in Las Vegas, where he
mounted the stage at five years old and
did an impromptu Elvis impersonation
in front of the king of rock and roll
himself. Tony LaTorre has performed
in a number of popular television shows
as well as performing as Elvis in venues
across the country and at corporate and
private functions. Look for Tonys per-
formance as Elvis on youtube.com
WVIA first aired on September 26,
1966 at 6:30 p.m. In its 12th year, the
award-winning public station ranked
number one in Pennsylvania and 16th in
the country. Six of the staff members,
Ray Pernot of Avoca, responsible for
on-air production, Tom McHugh of
Pittston, director of radio operations;
Margaret Lavelle of Pittston, reception
and memberships; Alice Allardyce
Krafjack of Pittston, scheduling and
Jim Frushon of Pittston and Allan Mur-
phy of Wyoming, production, directing,
audio and video were instrumental in
bringing quality programming into
homes across the area.
1988 23 Years Ago
A local sportswriter once wrote,
Agnes Hushelpeck is one of the best
basketball shots this writer has ever
seen.
Taking her Duryea team to 1924 Dis-
trict Championship against Hazleton and
scoring the winning basket cinched her
role as a legend among female basket-
ball players in the area. In 1988 Agnes
Hushelpeck DeFazio became the first
woman from Greater Pittston to be in-
ducted into the Luzerne County Chapter
of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of
Fame.
Answer #1
Community Chest cards first appeared
with the development of what became
Monopoly in the 1920s. Daniel Lay-
mans Finance board game also included
Chance and Community Chest cards.
Within one month of signing an agree-
ment with Charles Darrow in 1935,
Parker Brothers discovered the existence
of other similar games, but by that time,
it was evident that the game was going
to be a huge success. According to the
Parker Brothers, their best move was to
secure patents and copyrights to The
Landlords, Finance and Fortune games.
Answer #2
In 1968, Dupont Civil Service Com-
mission appointed its first full time chief
of police. George Legezdh began his
duties by assigning five new officers:
Albert Iannuzzo, Michael Sompel,
Frank Lasota, Joseph Adams and
Joseph Timinski, each were paid $1.25
per hour.
Youre either part of the solution or
youre part of the problem.

Every year hundreds of area
residents save up their hard
earned money and journey to
New York City to enjoy a
Broadway musical. One of the
most memorable shows many
people venture off to catch a
glimpse of is the award winning
musical Cats. Wouldnt it be
purr-fect to not have to take the
long trek to the bustling city?
Well, it is.
The Phoenix Performing Arts
Centre, located on Main Street,
Duryea, will perform Cats
the musical for nine nights
starting this Friday, October 7,
and running for the next three
weekends.
The cast, made up of 25 ado-
lescents ranging in ages from 9
to 17 and four adult performers,
has been hard at work since Ju-
ly to produce a musical of this
magnitude.
This is the show of the sea-
son, Lee LaChette, Business
Director and Choreographer of
the Arts Centre, said. These
kids have been knocking it out
of the ball park.
Since the summer the per-
formers have not only learned
their parts fully, but have mas-
tered the art of purr-fecting
their own makeup themselves.
Their costumes and wigs are
custom made and true to the
characters from the original
Broadway show.
The stage set has been all
hand painted in an array of wild
colors to mimic the original
production. Specialized lighting
has also been positioned for the
musical along with special ef-
fects.
The theater, located in the
former Kurlancheeks building,
seats up to a maximum of 85
per show. Ticket are $12 for
general admission and reserva-
tions are recommended.

U. S. Senator Bob Casey,
along with Pennsylvania State
Rep. Phyllis Mundy and Lu-
zerne County Commissioner
Mary Ann Petrilla met Friday at
the recently flooded Agolinos
Restaurant in West Pittston.
Several businesses owners were
on-hand to ask how funds can
be expedited from the federal,
state and county governments.
The biggest issue brought up
at the meeting was the interest
rates being offered by the Small
Business Administration
(SBA). Loan rates are typically
4% to 6% over 30-years. These
rates are much higher than ex-
pected by elected officials and
business owners.
My concern is over money,
said Jim Ide. Im using money
out of pocket to pay my workers
and that money will run out
soon.
Jim and his wife Joy own
Birchwood Landscaping in
Plains where their property saw
as much as 12 feet of water. Ide
told Sen. Casey that FEMA
does not deal with businesses.
Sen. Casey meets with local leaders, flood victims
By Tony Callaio
Sen. Casey along with (left to right) Joe Costello, Mayor Denisco,
and Sam Polit tour what was Polit and Costello Dentistry building

their sons Dr. John Costello and Dr. Anthony Polit.
Restaurateur Joe Agolino explains the problems of rebuilding his
business after the flood to Commissioner Mary Ann Petrilla, U.S.
Sen. Bob Casey and Penna. Rep. Phyllis Mundy inside his gutted
restaurant on Luzerne Avenue. Seven-feet of flood waters inun-
dated this business.

Im not sure where Im going
to get the money but Im really
concerned about my employ-
ees.
Im nervous, said Joe Ago-
lino. Personal money goes
quick and what we (as business
owners) want to know is how
soon we can receive the money?
Once we have money to help, it
would take a lot of pressure off
of a lot of people.
Ed Williams from Sen.
Caseys office said that once
forms are filled out with FEMA
or the SBA it would take 7 to 10
days to receive money.
Michael LaNunziata, owner
of Crest Cleaners and rental
properties of which one was
razed already, asked Rep. Mun-
dy what the State was doing to
help. Shamefully, not much,
Mundy replied. There are bills
currently being introduced to
the House and Senate to take
action and when these bills
come up for vote, Ill certainly
vote for them.
The flood has cost West Pitt-
ston borough approximately
$2,000,000 to aid in cleaning up
the streets and according to Cas-
sandra Coleman, mayor of Exe-
ter, the borough of Exeter has
spent upwards of $200,000 on
flood prevention and clean-up.
The main cost has been in
debris removal, said West Pitt-
ston Borough council president
Brian Thornton. We have
much to do yet and along with
collecting debris, we are work-
ing hard on cleaning catch ba-
sins in the sewer system to pre-
vent them from backing up and
overflowing.
Because of the caked up mud
in the sewers, many residents
had back-up flooding in base-
ments after heavy rains over a
week ago.
West Pittston Mayor Tony
Denisco has implemented a
plan on flushing out the sewer
system. Denisco said, We dont
have all the answers, but were
working on doing the best we
can. We will and have to get
back on our own feet.
Thornton feels it is important
to keep existing flooded busi-
nesses in West Pittston and
Country Commissioner Petrilla
suggested business owners con-
tact the countys Community
Development Office and fill out
the proper forms for aid.
Sen. Casey assured the group
he would do everything in his
power to help. He plans on
keeping in constant contact with
representatives in the flooded
areas to see how progress is be-
ing made.
The days are good, but the
nights are long, Joe Agolino
told Sen. Casey.
Funeral director, PJ Adonizio expresses his concerns on recovering fromthe flood with County Commissioner Mary Ann Petrilla, State
Rep. Phyllis Mundy, and U.S. Sen. Casey.

Want to Help?
There is a new website de-
signed to help families struck
with disaster to start over. It was
designed by two Tunkhannock
natives; one who is still a resi-
dent of Tunkhannock and one
who now lives in Maryland.
They wanted to find a way to
helplocal victims of the flooding
when they came up with the con-
cept.
The American Red Cross has
been helping to spread the word
about the website. The website is
www.Our10.org.
How it works:
1. Families and individuals
struck by disaster create a list of
10 household items they need to
most tostart over. These couldbe
as small as forks and knives, or
as large as major appliances.
2. People can browse the lists
to find items they have to donate
that are needed.
3. Once they find the item(s)
they have to donate, they select
the item(s), click make a con-
nection and are emailed the
phone number of the person who
had the item(s) on their list to ar-
range for pickup or delivery.

In the towns
Today is a sad day in Avoca as
people say goodbye to SS. Peter
and Pauls Church. Serving the
community since1909, for many
people SS. Peter and Pauls
Church is so much more than
just a place of worship it is
home.
For thousands of people in its
102-year history, SS. Peter and
Pauls Church was the place
where families shared their joys
as well as their sorrows.
It was a place where couples
pledged their love to one another
when they married and would re-
turn in the following years to
christen the children that grew
out of that very love.
It was a place where families
grew in their faith and learned
how to make a difference in the
world.
It was also the place where
many people said goodbye to
their loved ones until they would
be united with them again in
eternity.
As I write this text, I see a dis-
tinct pattern that is stitched into
the very fabric of this church and
that pattern is one of love. Re-
gardless of where they worship
in the future or who they worship
with, they must carry the depth
of the love that has grown out of
the SS. Peter and Pauls Parish
family into the world. After all,
that is what Christians are called
to do to love one another.
If you would like to share in
one last moment with the SS. Pe-
ter and Pauls Parish family,
please join them today at 2 p.m.
at the church, 1000 Main St.,
where there will be a special
closingMass bythe Rev. PhilipJ.
Sladicka, pastor. Due to the clos-
ing rituals involved, the approxi-
mate length of the Mass is ex-
pected to be one hour and 45
minutes.
Following the Mass, there will
be a procession of SS. Peter and
Pauls parishioners with the
Blessed Sacrament to St. Marys
Church where they will be greet-
ed by the members of their new
parishfamily. Uponthe arrival of
the procession, a brief benedic-
tion service will take place in the
church.
A welcoming reception will
followin St. Marys School audi-
torium, 742 Spring St., at ap-
proximately 4:30 p.m.
Time to Celebrate
James Colella has lots to cele-
brate! James, who is the proud
father of Ginger, will celebrate

phone battery frompolluting the
earth.

As large parts of the Wyoming
Valley struggle with the flood re-
lief effort, its aftermath, and the
cleanup, there is still the Salva-
tion Army doing the Lords
work, as Major Sheryl Hershey
puts it. The West Pittston Corps
of the SalvationArmy, itself bad-
ly hurt by the floodwaters, is
served Avenue.
We feed150a dayonsite with
a lunch and again with a hot eve-
ning meal, said Major Hershey
during the height of the recovery
effort. Lunch is usually a sand-
wich, maybe chips, a snack, wa-
ter, soda and items like that.
At dinner time we serve a hot
meal, she added.
In addition to the 150 meals
served on site, the corps sent out
three drivers twice a day to deliv-
er 650 of the same meals in the
corps designated service areas.
We fed cleanup crews, as well
as the displaced residents.
Homes are not live-in ready and
they have no power, heat, water
or septic and so people are not al-
lowed back in. The meals were
prepared from the Scranton Sal-
vation Army location while the
Wilkes-Barre site provided the
water, cleaningkits, andthe meal
containers, since regulations re-
quire all meals to be individually
wrapped.
The basement of the Salvation
Army living quarters in West
Pittston was completely wiped
out as was the basement of the
Corps and Church, damaging
HVAC units and water heaters.
The basement of the Church
contained a full complete kitch-
en that had to be torn out and
tossed as well as all of the stock-
piled food the Corps uses for
their regular food programs.
Regulations require that it be de-
stroyed. Also lost were the col-
lections of toys that would nor-
mally be distributed at Christ-
mas time.
When asked what she needed
right now, Major Hersheyjust re-
plied volunteers, preferably as
groups.
Major Hershey is working 12
hour days and some volunteers
are doing full days.
The Corps also needs new
shelving, new book shelves,
cleaning kits, all types of canned
goods and other non perishables.
There is no place nowto sort and
store clothing so any clothing
donations should go to Wilkes-
Barre. Personal items will be
needed in 2-3 weeks when peo-
ple are allowed back in. And now
that the supply of Christmas toys
was destroyed there is a need for
extra toys for this Christmas,
starting right after Thanksgiv-
ing. Volunteers are asked to call
Major Hershey at 407-1926 for
all information, drop-offs and
work schedules.
Salvation Army continues serving the community
The Salvation Army Advisory Board meets to review flood recovery efforts. Fromleft, front, Jay Delaney, Rose Grimes, Major Sheryl
Hershey, and Ann Marie Adonizio; standing, Frank Cassarella, Tony Grieco, Dr Louis Guarneri and Joseph Heffers.

Pittston Area got off to a quick start
and never looked back in 10-3 victory
over cross-river rival Wyoming Area in
WVC soccer action on Saturday at the
Bucky Harris Athletic Complex in
Hughestown.
The Patriots dominated all facets of
the game as they controlled most of the
possession and fired off 40 shots, 25 of
which were on goal. Pietro Colella net-
ted three goals and an assist and Jordan
Consagra added two goals and four as-
sists to lead the way for PA.
Its a nice tight brand of soccer, said
Patriot coach Pat OBoyle about the
fast start. We get results from it.
Ian Tracy got the Patriots started
when he took a pass from Chris Musto
and buried the ball into the net for a 1-0
lead just 1:45 into the game.
Four minutes later, the Colella-Con-
sagra show started when Colella took a
pass from Consagra, fought his way
through a defender and tucked the ball
into the right side of the net past the div-
ing keeper.
Seventeen seconds later, Consagra
found Colella again who beat the keep-
er low for a 3-0 lead.
Fifty seconds after Consagra dished
out the assist, he took the ball himself,
dribbled to the left-side of the penalty
box and ripped a hard low shot which
deflected off the defender into the goal.
TomAllardyce added his name to the
score sheet when he elevated over the
top of the defenders and put his head
onto a Consagra corner giving the Pa-
triots a 5-0 lead 14:44 into the game.
PApushed the lead to 6-0 at the17:26
mark when Matt Tavaglione saved the
ball from going over the endline and
chipped a cross to Tracy who put the
ball into the net for his second goal of
the day.
For his great individual effort on the
assist to Tracy, Tavaglione was reward-
ed when Consagra found him open in
the box. Tavaglione blasted the ball past

Playmaking is the best word to de-
scribe the Wyoming Area football
team. And once again, the Warriors
used their playmaking abilities to rip
off huge plays and score in quick fash-
ion as they dominated both ends of the
field in a 48-6 win over Nanticoke Area
on Homecoming Night, Friday at Jake
Sobieski Stadium in West Pittston.
Mr. Everything, Nick OBrien, ran
for 115 yards on six carries, two of
them for scores, and also went 7-for-7
through the air for 156 yards and two
more touchdowns. Backfield teammate
Ahmad Bouie accounted for three
scores on 149 yards of total offense to
give Wyoming Area a 1-2 punch
against the Trojans.
The bottom line is that (Nick) is the
leader and hes the guy that starts it all,
said Head Coach Randy Spencer. It
starts and ends with him.
(Ahmad) is an explosive player.
Hes got speed. Hes also a strong run-
ner. He has the ability and the skills to
be a breakout guy, a big-play guy. It
was great to see Ahmad Bouie have the
kind of night he had tonight.
After forcing a quick three-and-out,
OBrien used one play and 16 seconds
to give the Warriors a quick lead.
The junior took the snap, rolled to his
right and got himself to the edge of the
defense. It was goodbye from there as
he turned on the burners and went 77
yards to paydirt. Freshman AJ Lenkai-
tis booted the first of six extra-points
on the night for the 7-0 lead.
Wyoming Areas defense forced an-
other punt and the Warriors offense
strung together a long drive for their
standards before OBrien hit a wide
open Bouie for the 39-yard touchdown
on the fourth play of the possession to
give the team a 14-0 lead less than sev-
en minutes into the game.
Another three-and-out for the Tro-
jans set up another four-play scoring
drive for the Warriors as OBrien threw
the fade to the corner to Joe Adonizio,
who despite being interfered with,
went over the defender to snag the ball
out of the air for the third touchdown of
the quarter and a 21-0 lead.
The second quarter started with Nan-
ticoke putting together a 12-play drive
before the defense came up with yet an-
other big play. With the ball at the 11-
yard line, the handoff went to the Tro-
jan tailback who was promptly tagged
by Jake Smith, forcing the fumble, and
OBrien was there to pounce on it giv-
ing the ball back to the Warriors.
The Warriors took over on their own
12, and on the third play OBrien hit
tight end Trent Grove for 35 yards. WA
moved the ball down the field before
being held at the Nanticoke 12 before
the Trojans finally stopped the Green
Machine.
However, after a big sack by Zak La-
Nunziata for a loss of eight, Cody
Schmitz came up with an interception
giving the dangerous Warriors offense
the ball back with 1:37 left in the half.
OBrien hit Bouie for 11 yards to the
Trojan 26, and after a false start penal-
ty pushed the Warriors back to the 31,
OBrien took the snap and moved to his
left, got to the edge and went 31-yards
untouched, splitting defenders en route
to his second rushing score of the day
to give the Green and Gold a 28-0 lead
with 51 seconds left in the half.
Wyoming Area (3-1) received the
ball after halftime and once again used
only four plays to add to its lead when
OBrien handed the ball to Justin
Langdon on the sweep right. Langdon
then handed the ball to Bouie who was
coming around for the reverse and went
41 yards for the score, bumping the
lead to 35-0.
Then after a Nanticoke Td made it
35-6 with 3:13 left in the third quarter,
the Warriors jumped on the onside kick
attempt giving them the ball at their 45-
yard line. On the first play, Bouie ran
into a pile of defenders and somehow a
fewseconds later burst through the oth-
er side and out ran everyone to the end-
zone for a 41-6 lead.
After Jordan Zezza picked off anoth-
er Nanticoke pass, he made a play on
the offensive side of the ball when he
dropped back and took a big hit before
delivering a perfectly thrown ball to
Schmitz who made the catch and out
ran his defender to the endzone for a
90-yard touchdown giving the War-
riors a 48-6 lead.
Youve got to give the kids credit,
Spencer said. Theyve done a great
job especially in the climate and envi-
ronment youre well aware of these past
three weeks. It was very important for
us in this setting, our Homecoming.
Its great, added OBrien about fi-
nally getting to ring the Victory Bell in
the north endzone of the Warriors
home field. Obviously it was great, it
was Homecoming, it was huge.

High school football coach-
es hope they can find one
consistent running back to
enhance their running game.
Hazleton Area Head Coach
Jim Drumheller has three go-
to guys in backs Chad Hoff-
man, Brian Campbell, and
Yousef Guzman - and he
needed all three - in a 27-13
victory over the Pittston Area
Patriots at Harman Geist Me-
morial Field last night.
Hes another back, back
there, Drumheller said of his
quarterback, Hoffman. I can
use him at tailback, fullback,
hes just a tough, tough kid
and he refuses to go down.
The Cougars found the end
zone four times in their third
victory of the season. All four
of their touchdowns came on
the ground. Campbell and
Hoffman both had a pair of
touchdowns for Hazleton Ar-
ea, and Guzman got tough
yardage when the Cougars
needed it most. Hoffman
rushed for 137 yards on 16
carries while Campbell
churned out 89 yards on 17
carries.
Campbell put the Cougars
on the board when he broke
loose of Patriot defenders for
a 12-yard touchdown. The
PAT was missed wide left and
the Cougars lead was 6-0 with
2:20 remaining in the open-
ing quarter. Campbells first
touchdown was made possi-
ble after a 16-yard rush by
Hoffman put them in the red
zone.
The Cougars extended their
lead to 13-0 with 8:31 remain-
ing in the first half. Penalties
backed Hazleton back to their
own 21, but that didnt matter
as Hoffman broke loose for a
60 yard touchdown.
The Patriots finally found
the end zone with 5:12 re-
maining in the first half. An-
thony Schwab found his tight
end Brian Delaney for a 9-
yard touchdown reception.
Chris Musto added the PAT
for the Patriots and the Cou-
gars lead was tightened to just
13-7 late in the first half.
Hoffman found the end
zone for the second consec-
utive time to give the Cougars
a 19-7 lead with a 14 yard
rushing touchdown. The PAT
was again wide and the Patri-
ots were in trouble with just
7:41 remaining in the third
quarter.
Pittston Area responded
with a score in the fourth
quarter. The score would not
have been possible if the Josh
Blaker wouldnt have sacked
Hoffman in the backfield on
fourth-and-9.
After the defense stopped
the Cougars, the offense took
over first-and 10 from their
own 39-yard line. A series of
rushes by both Marc Ro-
manczuk and Justin Wilk set
the Patriots up in the red
zone. Wilk capped off the
drive with a 7-yard touch-
down carry. The Cougars
blocked the extra point and
the Patriots trailed by six with
9:26 remaining in the game.
The Cougars dampened the
spirits of the Patriots, taking
back momentum when Camp-
bell went for a 61-yard jaunt.
Hoffman then completed the
two-point conversion to A.J.
Gasser making it a 27-13
game.
Romanczuk had 95 yards
on 13 carries in the Patriots
loss, and Justin Wilk rushed
17 times for 89 yards.
The Patriots fell to 2-3 on
the season, while the Cougars
improved to 3-2.
Patriot Games
John Ameen had his fifth
straight double-digit tackle
game for the Patriots, check-
ing in with 13 stops three of
which went for a loss. Dave
Dragon added 11 tackles for
PA, and Mike Stankoski and
Josh Blaker chipped in with
nine each. Quarterback
Anthony Schawb went 8-
for-12 for 54 yards for Pitt-
ston Area, finding Joe Starin-
sky three times for 19 yards
and Jordan Houseman twice
for 21. Brian Delaney, Tyler
Roman and Mike Chisdock
each hauled in one reception
each.

the diving keeper for the goal
and a 7-0 lead.
Colella completed his hat
trick on a great finish when the
ball bounced to his feet and he
buried it past the diving keeper
at the 30:55 mark. Less than
three minutes later, Colella as-
sisted Consagra on his second
goal of the game, giving the
Patriots a 9-0 lead at the half.
After back-and-forth play in
the middle third of the field for
the opening nine minutes of
the half, Pittston Area was
whistled for a foul in the penal-
ty box giving Wyoming Area a
penalty kick. Sean OMalley
stepped up and blasted the ball
high and in the middle of the
goal to get WA on the board.
With a little life in their play,
the Warriors found the back of
the net again three minutes lat-
er when the ball came off of a
PAdefender and to the danger-
ous striker Nate Brague, who
rifled the ball past the diving
keeper and into the net.
PAs Allardyce tried to slow
the WA momentum when he,
once again, elevated over the
defenders on a Musto corner
kick and knocked the ball into
the back of the net for his sec-
ond goal of the game. The goal
pushedthe PAleadto10-2with
17 minutes left in the game.
Wyoming Area answered
right back when they were
awarded a penalty kick after
PA tripped a WA player in the
box. Brague stepped up to take
the PKand ripped the ball high
into the back of the net for his
second goal of the game.
However, it was a little too
late as the Patriots early of-
fense explosion was enough
and the defense was able to
control the WA offense for the
rest of the game earning the
10-3 victory.
Weve got probably six
guys that I have no problem
putting up (front), said
OBoyle. Its a nice problem
to have.

Leading 1-0 at intermission
on an Ian Tracy goal at the
29:23 mark, Pittston Area saw
its lead evaporate quickly as
Hanover scored just 2:07 into
the second half on an Austin
Bogart goal.
But the Patriots quickly re-
gained control when Matt Ta-
vaglione scored on an assist
from Julian Koester to take a
2-1 lead at the 55:17 mark of
the second half.

It may forever be known as
the, Dirty Dozen.
A game that might have gone
down as one of the greatest ever
played in the 64-game series
between arch-rivals Old Forge
and Riverside, instead may be
remembered for the Vikings
having an extra man on the field
on the games deciding play.
Riverside quarterback Nick
Dranchak found Dave Sweet-
man in the endzone with 12.8
seconds left, and then hit Jim
Tucker for the two-point con-
version as the Vikings rallied
for a dramatic, 15-14, victory in
front of over 4,000 fans at Old
Forge Veterans Memorial Sta-
dium.
But after a night of watching
film, Old Forge Head Coach
Mike Schuback discovered that
Riverside had a 12th man on the
field during the successful two-
point conversion.
We had a question about the
formation they came out in (for
the conversion) at the time,
said Schuback by telephone
Saturday afternoon. The offi-
cials assured our players that
the formation was good, but
when we looked at it on film
they absolutely have 12 men on
the field.
The play in question had Riv-
erside rushing to line up for its
two-point try after exhausting
its three timeouts during the 21-
play, 83-yard drive which ended
with the winning score. The
Vikings sent three receivers to
the right side and a split end to
the left, and put Dranchak in the
shotgun, flanked by two backs.
Those seven players joined five
offensive linemen for a total of
12.
On the play, Dranchak was
forced out of the pocket by de-
fensive end Joey Ciuccio, and
when the junior signal-caller
scrambled to his sideline, he
found Tucker - one of the seven
skill players on the field - open
in the endzone.
The missed call by the offi-
cials detracted albeit some 12
hours later - fromwhat was oth-
erwise a classic battle between
the storied rivals.
Opening the game by receiv-
ing the football, Riverside
reeled off 18 plays on an 82-
yard drive that featured a bad
bounce for each team.
Facing fourth-and-goal from
the Old Forge 5, Vikings tail-
back Hakeem Lincoln was hit
at the line of scrimmage and
was stripped of the football.
Sophomore safety Jake Manetti
snatched the ball out of the air
and took off up the home side-
lines, but Sweetman chopped at
the ball from behind to force a
fumble.
Riverside recovered the loose
ball, and three plays later, Lin-
coln scored from 4-yards out
with 3:32 left in the opening
stanza. Tim Lebiak drilled the
extra-point, and the Vikings
took a 7-0 lead. The drive was
paced by Lincolns 46 yards on
10 carries and took 8:34 off the
clock.
Old Forge answered with a
10-play scoring drive of its own,
aided in part by two Riverside
penalties one on a defensive
hold, the other a late-hit person-
al foul penalty after a 23-yard
completion from Colin Carey
to Tony DeSando which set the
Blue Devils up with first-and-
goal from the Vikings 9.
Three plays later, Carey beat
the Riverside defense to the py-
lon on a straight quarterback
sweep on fourth-and-goal from
the 2 to put Old Forge on the
board. Matt Mancusos extra-
point try was true, and the game
was tied at 7-7 with 11:12 re-
maining in the first half.
The Blue Devils held River-
side to just 13 yards on its next
two possessions, and after
Dranchak punted from his own
2-yard line, Old Forge return
man Mike Vieira gave the Blue
Devils great field position with
a 10-yard return to the River-
side 25.
A9-yard run on second down
by Carey put Old Forge on the
Riverside 14, but as they have

all season, the Blue Devils
bogged down in the red zone.
Riverside stopped tailback
Lou Febbo for no gain on first
down, before Mike Loftus
sacked Carey for a 9-yard loss
on second down. Back-to-back
penalties on the Blue Devils
pushed the football past the 50-
yard line and gave Old Forge
third-and-55 from the Vikings
40.
The Blue Devils had a shot to
pick up the yardage when Ca-
rey scrambled to the Riverside
bench before sprinting back to
the Old Forge sideline where he
directed Dave Argust to fly up-
field. Argust had his defender
beat, but Careys pass went just
long, past the outreached arms
of his top receiver.
The teams traded posses-
sions to end the first half, but
Old Forge took the lead on the
opening possession of the sec-
ond half.
Carey directed an11-play, 68-
yard drive, going 4-for-5 for 58
yards while running for 22
yards in converting two third
downs and a fourth down.
On third-and-13 from his
own 41, the senior hit Argust
for a 15-yard completion and a
first down on the Riverside 46.
Two plays later, Carey found
Vieira for a 17-yard strike and a
first down on the Vikings 25.
Two more penalties on the
Blue Devils set up third-and-21
from the 36, but Carey again
made a play, finding Anthony
Piccolini for an 18-yard pickup
to give Old Forge a manageable
fourth-and-3 from the 18.
Carey picked up the first
down on his own with a 10-yard
jaunt up the middle before find-
ing Argust in the endzone two
plays later for an 8-yard score.
Mancusos kick was good and
Old Forge led 14-7 with 7:57
left in the third quarter.
Two possessions later, River-
side marched from its own 7 to
midfield as Dranchak hooked
up with Sweetman for 12 yards
on a third-and-12, and with
Loftus for 14 yards on second-
and-8.
But the Blue Devils dug in
and Ciuccio sacked Dranchak
for an 8-yard loss on first down
before Cory Stuart and Antho-
ny Trotta forced the Riverside
QB into incompletions on third
and fourth down to force a punt.
Old Forge took over on its
own 31 and after two runs by
Carey for 17 yards, the Blue
Devils had the ball on the 48.
But Riverside held Old Forge
on its next three plays and
forced a punt to set up the
game-winning drive.
The Vikings took over on its
own 17, and after two runs by
Lincoln sandwiched around a
Dranchak completion to Loft-
us, Riverside had a first down at
its own 28. An incompletion
followed by a holding penalty
on the next play pushed the
Vikings back to its own 15, but
Dranchak made back-to-back
plays to keep the drive alive.
Scrambling across his own
goal line under heavy duress
from the Blue Devils defensive
front on second-and-24, Dran-
chak found Sweetman in a
crowd for a 20-yard gain. Then
the former 1,000-yard passer
hit John Nawrocki for 13 yards
across the middle for a first
down at the 35.
My guys played hard. But
lets give them credit, said
Schuback on Friday night.
When they needed to make a
play, those two guys, Dranchak
and Sweetman, did it.
The drive continued on the
ground for the Vikings as it ran
behind its massive offensive
line a group which averages
61, 280-pounds for 13 of its
next 16 plays.
But it was Dranchaks arm
that eventually did the Blue
Devils in.
On fourth-and-7 from the 50,
Dranchak found Loftus for an
11-yard gain. Then on third-
and-9, and with Trotta hanging
all over him, Dranchak some-
how got the ball to Sweetman
for a 10-yard completion to the
Old Forge 15.
Six plays later, including one
in which Dranchak rushed for
six yards on fourth-and-3 from
the 8, the quarterback found
Sweetman in the endzone on
third down for a 1-yard score.
Riversides final drive took
9:59 off of the fourth-quarter
clock. The Vikings ran 39 plays
for 165 yards on its opening and
closing drives of the game.
Old Forge was able to run one
final play, but Loftus intercept-
ed Carey to solidify the victory
for the Vikings.
They made a couple plays at
the end, said Schuback. We
needed to make stops. They
needed to make a catch. They
made the catch. We had themin
some long situations but they
were able to convert. It over-
shadowed some of the good
things we did.
Carey finished the night for
the Blue Devils with 82 yards
rushing on 11 carries and 94
yards passing on a 6-for-13
night. Old Forge leading rusher
Lou Febbo managed just 35
yards on 12 carries. Argust
caught a team-high three balls
for 36 yards and his first touch-
down of the season.
Trotta notched a career-high
18 tackles, including eight on
Riversides final possession, as
the senior desperately tried to
stop the Vikings with an out-
standing individual effort.
Dranchak led Riverside with
a 13-for-20 performance for
122 yards. His main target was
Sweetman who caught eight
passes for 74 yards. Loftus add-
ed three catches for 33 yards for
the Vikings. Dranchak also
rushed for 44 yards on 14 car-
ries, but it was Lincoln who
chewed up the yardage on the
ground for Riverside, running
for 104 yards on 27 carries.
Old Forge (3-2) will travel to
Montrose on Friday night while
Riverside (3-2) hosts Western
Wayne.
We need to bind together the
rest of the way, said Schuback.
We need to work together in-
stead of work apart. We need to
take some pressure off of our
young offensive lineman, and
get our running backs more in
the flowearlier in the game. We
need to do a better job with that.
We need those guys to be in the
flow of the game.

Earlier in the week, Brandon
Matthews carded one of his worst
scores at Fox Hill Country Club
during Mondays Pre-District
Tournament.
On Friday, the Pittston Area se-
nior made upfor that performance
byshootingnot onlyhisbest round
at thecourse, but thetopscoreever
recorded at the establishment.
Matthews, the defending PIAA
champion, fired an 8-under par 63
on Friday during the Wyoming
Valley Conference TeamPlayoffs.
He shatteredthe previous markset
by club member Bill Lawler by
two shots.
The only way to explain Mon-
day was a little trampoline effect:
what goes up must come down,
said Matthews, whose remarkable
round consisted of just one bogey
and nine birdies. Confidence-
wisethisisthebest thingthat could
happen to me to break the course
recordbytwohereinatournament
like this.
Although Matthews 63 was
nine shots better than Holy Re-
deemers Mariano Medico, the
Royals still prevailed and won the
leagues championshipfor thesec-
ond consecutive year. The Royals,
who defeated the Patriots by one
stroke in a match earlier this sea-
son and by just three shots during
the Preseason Tryba Tournament,
outshot Pittston Area by only two
on Friday to claimthe title.
Medicos 72 paced the Royals.
He was followed by Will Fultons
74, a 77 fromMatt Slavoski. A78
by Chase Makowski rounded out
Holy Redeemers scorers.
Its not that were that much
better (than Pittston Area) were
just a little deeper, Redeemer
coachArt BrunnJr. said. I haveto
give my guys credit because they
knew(Matthews)wasplayingwell
and they hung in there and didnt
give up and thats what it came
down to.
For the second straight season,
Redeemer will represent theWVC
in the District 2championship-
matchon Monday, Oct. 10 at Fox
Hill. The Royals will face the
Lackawanna League champion.
As of Friday, the conference from
up north was concluding its quar-
terfinals.
Following Matthews for the Pa-
triots was Ryan Tracy and Matt
Carroll who fired 79s and C.J.
Lynchs 82.
I knowmyteams disappointed
but you have days like that, Mat-
thews noted. It wasnt as bad as
we played on Monday, but we
didnt play our best.
Dallas placed third in the team
race scoring 321, while Valley
Wests Chris McCuefinishedthird

Hello and welcome month of
October. I am mentally finished
with summer and have been wait-
ingpatientlyfor youtoarrive. I en-
joy the cool crisp mornings of fall
especially while Im sitting in a
treestand waiting for the sun to
rise. While I doenjoythe smells of
spring, the enticing aroma of
mushrooms growing on the damp
forest floor is quite seasonably
nice. The leaves are about to start
changing and the anticipation of
Mother Natures colors of fall is
driving me crazy.
Pennsylvania and especially
Northeastern Pennsylvania is
known for its fall foliage and sce-
nic trail system. Most experts
agree that the brilliant fall colors
usually coincide with the Colum-
bus Day weekend. This year Co-
lumbus Day falls on Monday, Oc-
tober 10. There are many websites
to help you plan your fall foliage
adventure but I always turn to the
states website (visitpa.com). You
will also find driving instructions
and pages of events designed to
help you enjoy the beauty of this
fall season. Foresters and tourism
promoters believe that this could
be the most colorful autumn we
have had in years. Dont let it pass
you by!
Fall also means hunting in our
house. The six week archery sea-
son started yesterday and by the
deer sign Ive seen it should be
quite productive. Most deer could
be found around apple trees and
brush lines until the acorn start
falling. I have seen a few on the
ground but I believe the best is yet
to some.
The weather could play an im-
portant roleinmorewaysthanone.
While this cooler weekend could
get themfeedingupfor the winter,
I expect that the Indian summer
warmer temperatures will arrive
ontime. This means that aharvest-
eddeershouldbeprocessedquick-
lyinthe fieldandagainat home. It
is probably a good idea to place a
bagof ice inandonthe carcass be-
foretravelingfor alongdistancein
order tokeepyour meat as freshas
possible. Good luck and be safe if
youre heading out with your bow
and arrows.
The recent flooding has surely
played havoc with the Pennsylva-
nia Game Commissions pheasant
stocking program. Two agency
game farms in Lycoming County
were ravaged by flood waters re-
sulting in the loss of over 30,000
pheasants. Some of them were
killedwhilemanyescapedtonear-
byfarmsandmountainsides. Prior
to the flooding from Tropical
StormLee, the Commissiongame
farms were on track to have more
than 104,000 ring-necked pheas-
ants for release on public lands
throughout the state for the up-
coming small game hunting sea-
sons. Initial reports showed about
40,000birdsweremissingafterthe
flood waters receded. That num-
ber was revised to 30,000 when
Game Farm employees worked
hard to round up the birds that es-
caped. Theymanagedtorecapture
morethan10,000birdsandarestill
working on recapturing more.
The Commission has two other
game farms in Crawford County
andArmstrongCounty. Theywere
not impacted by flood waters.
Combinedwiththe birds unaffect-
ed by the flood and recaptured
around the two Lycoming County
game farms, the Commission was
forcedtoreducepheasant stocking
allocations across the state by
about 30 percent. Based on the
present figures, the Game Com-
missionexpects tobe able tostock
73,390 pheasants this year instead
of the planned 100,000. This in-
cluded 11,510 birds for the junior-
only season (Oct. 8-15).They will
alsodeliver the1,800pheasants al-
located for those clubs sponsoring
mentored pheasant hunts for ju-
niors onOct. 8. The one seasonef-
fected by the loss of pheasants is
late season from December 26 to
February 4. That scheduled stock-
ing has been cancelled for this
year.
The good news is that the youth
hunt for pheasants will go on as
planned. The pheasant stockings
will begin this Friday, October 7,
when the agency will release
11,510 birds (6,880 males and
4,630 females) for the junior
pheasant hunt scheduled for Oct.
8-15.The Luzerne County proper-
ties expected to be stocked for the
youth hunt include Frances Slo-
cum State Park and Nescopeck
StatePark. Gamelands187inlow-
er Luzerne County is also on the
list. For acompletelistingof stock-
ing locations for the youth hunt go
to pages 25-27 of the 2011-12
Pennsylvania Digest of Hunting
and Trapping Regulations, which
is provided to each license buy-
er.Youcanalsofindmoreinforma-
tion about the pheasant program
on the agencies website at
www.pgc.state.pa.us.
The states youth squirrel hunt
and rabbit hunt seasons start next
Saturdayaswell. Thisisagreat op-
portunity to spend time with a
young hunter without the stress of
huntingpressure. Squirrel hunting
isagreat waytoinstill safehunting
practices and marksmanship.
Most hunters I know grew up
shooting rabbits and squirrels.
Some of my fondest memories in-
clude sitting up against a pine tree
with my father while waiting for a
squirrel to show up. This hunt
could be filled with action consid-
ering the large squirrel population
in our area.
The fall huntingseasons contin-
ue to grow with the early muzzle-
loader season for deer in two
weeks and the general small game
season and turkey season not far
behind. Please be safe if you are

The Warriors from blew by
Hanover Area 48-0 on a Satur-
daynight, September 24 on the
road at Hawkeye Stadiumin Ha-
nover Twp.
Wyoming Area dominated the
line of scrimmage as Nick
OBrien rushed for 137 yards
and three touchdowns on 13 car-
ries, while the Warriors defense
forced four turnovers and won
the battles at the line of scrim-
mage all night en route to a 48-0
drubbing of the Hawkeyes.
We have athletes and we have
skilled kids," Wyoming Area
coach Randy Spencer said. "But
Nick OBrien definitely makes
all of that go.
"Its nice to have the versatility
with Nick when you have a play-
er who can potentially have his
hands on the ball every snap."
OBrien got Wyoming Area
out to a quick start, bursting
through the line on a quarterback
keeper, then out-running Parrish
Bennett, one of the fastest play-
ers in the Wyoming Valley Con-
ference, for a 44-yard touch-
down on the Warriors fourth of-
fensive play of the game at the
10:07 mark of the first quarter.
From there, Wyoming Area
never looked back.
The second quarter started just
how the first did when OBrien
took the snap, juked to his right
and turned on the burners as he
raced down the sideline before
diving into the endzone just nine
seconds into the second period.
With a 14-0 lead into the sec-
ond quarter, the Wyoming Area
defense created their first turn-
over of the game. Bennett took
the handoff and was hit by a de-
fender forcing a fumble which
the Warriors pounced on at the
Hanover 14-yard line
The offense quickly rewarded
the defense.
Matt Kintz ripped off a hard
13-yard run to the one, then
OBrien scored his second
touchdown in less than a minute
when he rolled left, ran into his
running back, and bounced into
the endzone at the 10:59 mark.
The two-point attempt was no
good but Wyoming Area had a
20-0 lead early in the second
quarter.
The Warrior defense held the
Hawkeyes to a three-and-out and
the offense went 46-yards in
3:07cappedoff witha little trick-
ery when Cody Schmitz took the
handoff on the reverse and used a
block from OBrien to easily get
in from10-yards out.
On the second play of Hanover
Areas next possession, EJ Driv-
ing Hawk saw the Hawkeyes
quarterback fumble the ex-
change from center and dove on
the ball giving the Warriors great
field position.
After an incomplete pass, Jeff
Skursky rumbled 17 yards to the
Hawkeye 5-yard line and on the
next play he powered through a
hole in the line for the score at
the 4:04 mark of the second half.
The score put the Warriors in a
dominating position holding a
34-0 lead.
The defense was able to hold
the explosive Bennett to just 41
yards and hold the team to only
27 yards of total offense in the
first half by using a stiff run de-
fense and an explosive pass rush
that accounted for four sacks and
multiple quarterback hurries.
While the defense was tying
down the Hawkeyes, the offense
was running loose to the tune of
238 yards.
The second half proved to be
nodifferent for boththe Warriors
and the Hawkeyes.
The Warriors Justin Langdon
came up with an interception on
the Hawkeyes first drive of the
half. The offense thenusedan11-
play, six-minute drive to push the
lead to 41-0 when Jordan Zezza
pitched the ball to OBrien who
was lined up at tailback. Zezza
then ran a wheel route and when
the defense collapsed on
OBrien, he lofted an easy pass
back to Zezza who was wide
open for the score.
WAs defense held the Hanov-
er Area offense to another three-
and-out, and after a shanked
punt, the Warriors hadthe ball on
the 19-yard line of the Haw-
keyes.

Kintz started the drive with a
bruising 18-yard run to the one
yard-line and four plays later,
Zezza bootlegged left into the
endzone extending the lead to
48-0.
The game was going to be the
two lines," said Spencer. "Ha-
nover Area has outstanding size
and great measurables, but our
kids up front did a hell of a job.
Offensively, (Joe) Erzar, Driving
Hawk, (Jacob) Smith, (Nick)
Bartoli, (Carl) Zielinski and our
tight end Trent Grove did a great
job playing toe-to-toe.
That three yards makes all the
difference in a football game and
they did a great job handling that
tonight."
Ahmad Bouie carries the ball for Wyoming Area in a 48-0 win over

Flooding victims receive help from Pittston Area students
U.S. high school students and
their teachers are invited to par-
ticipate in the Bill of Rights In-
stitutes sixth annual Being an
American Essay Contest.
The largest contest of its kind
in the country, the Being an
American Essay Contest ex-
plores the Founding principles
outlined in the Constitution.
The contest is administered by
the Bill of Rights Institute, a
non-profit educational organi-
zation in the Washington, D.C.
area devoted to educating young
people about the Constitution
and Founding principles. The
2011-2012 contest is sponsored
by the History Channel.
This contest is unique in that
it gives students the opportunity
to think about the important
founding principles communi-
cated in our Constitution, said
Dr. Jason Ross, Bill of Rights
Institute Vice President of Edu-
cation Programs. This context
is vital to helping students see
their Founding principles as a
meaningful part of the Ameri-
can experiment of self-govern-
ment.
Specifically, students are
asked to share their thoughts on
the Constitution by answering
the following question: How
does the Constitution establish
and maintain a culture of liber-
ty?
The top three student winners
from each of the five geograph-
ical regions will be awarded
cash prizes of $1,000 (First
Place), $500 (Second Place),
and $250 (Third Place). Teacher
sponsors for each student win-
ner will also receive a cash prize
of $100.
The contest not only honors
and awards sponsoring teachers,
but also equips them with free
lesson plans and other supple-
mental materials that meet state
and national academic standards
so they can easily incorporate
the essay contest into their
classrooms. The Contest is real-
ly a tribute to the excellent work
teachers do in the important task
of civic education, said Ross.
Over 80,000 students have
participated in the essay contest
since it began in 2006.
We are pleased to support
the Bill of Rights Institutes Be-
ing an American Essay Con-
test, said Dr. Libby OConnell,
SVP, Corporate Outreach and
Chief Historian, History Chan-
nel. "The contest encourages
students to think critically and
truly makes the past relevant in
their lives today."
Complete contest details can
be found below. Further infor-
mation, including submission
criteria, lesson plans and back-
ground information on the Con-
stitution, Bill of Rights, Foun-
ders and the Founding princi-
ples are available at www.Billo-
fRightsInstitute.org/Contest.
Contest Goal: To help pro-
mote dialogue among students
and teachers about American
Founding principles. The Essay
Contest serves as a key part of
the Bill of Rights Institutes mis-
sion to educate young people
about the words and ideas of
Americas Founders, the liber-
ties guaranteed in our Founding
documents, and how our Found-
ing principles continue to affect
and shape a free society.
