Last week I whined a little in
this space about how I was left
behind minding the store as the
rest of the Dispatch staff dashed
out to cover the Agnes flood on
June 23, 1972. Well, theres
more to the story.
A couple of weeks later we
got word at the paper early
Saturday morning that Presi-
dent Nixon was coming to the
area to view the flood damage.
This time I was included in the
news coverage, a bit of an after-
thought to be honest, but still
part of the action.
This was a mere nine years
after the assassination of John
F. Kennedy, so the White House
was not about to release the
Presidents itinerary. We had to
figure that out for ourselves.
All we knew was that hed be
landing at the Avoca airport
and touring Wyoming Valley.
Kenny Feeney, the chief pho-
tographer, was sent to the air-
port naturally. Everyone else
got a similar, specific assign-
ment.
Then there was me.
Eddie, the boss said, I
heard he might swing by
Wilkes College. You went to
Wilkes and you know the cam-
pus. Take this camera and see
what you can do.
It was kind of the equivalent
of a game of street football
when after meticulously plan-
ning a play, the quarterback
looks at you and says, You go
long, but still I was thrilled.
Besides, it wasnt just any
camera the boss had handed
me, it was a German-made
Leicaflex SLR (single lens
reflex), the best camera the
paper owned.
I guess he figured that, at 22,
I needed all the help I could
get.
Nixon wasnt at Wilkes. No
one was at Wilkes. Except for
this one guy, a custodian who
said hed heard the President
was heading toward a tempo-
rary trailer park that had been
set up in Edwardsville.
And, son-of-a-gun, the guy
was right.
Throngs of people surround-
ed Nixon as he exited one of
the trailers and the best I could
do was hold the camera high
over my head and fire away,
hoping I was getting something.
This was a heck of a camera
in my outstretched hands but it
was a far cry from todays dig-
ital technology.
It didnt even have an auto-
matic rewind.
And while the rolls of film
had 36 exposures, they went
pretty fast in a situation like
this.
Still, I left the scene confi-
dent I had done my job.
Driving back to the Dispatch
on Wyoming Avenue in King-
ston in my 69 red VW bug I
was halted with the rest of the
traffic as the Nixon entourage
his black limo and several es-
cort vehicles pulled onto the
avenue from a side street sever-
al blocks ahead.
We started rolling again but
as we got into Forty Fort I
could see Nixons car pulling
over to the curb.
Across the street from where
it came to a stop a bridal party
was exiting a church and I said
to myself, Oh my God, hes
going to kiss the bride.
I screeched to a stop, grabbed
the Leica and started running.
Again there was a crowd
between me and where the
President of the United States
did indeed kiss the bride, so
again I just stood on my toes,
held the camera high as I could
and prayed.
The funny thing was I actual-
ly knew the bride and groom.
Not only that, but I had been
invited to this wedding, declin-
ing only because I had to work.
Turned out I got a dandy
photo of the bride, the former
Kathy Pickering then, and
still Mrs. Dan Conte and
groom Danny, whom we all
called Giz, with the President
and it ran on the front page of
the Dispatch, and later in sever-
al flood publications.
My shots from the trailer
park turned out pretty good,
too. One of them hangs on the
wall today at Coopers Seafood
Restaurant in Pittston.
Im tempted at this point to
borrow a line from Paul Harvey
and say, And that, my friends,
is the rest of the story. But its
not.
A few years later I was talk-
ing about all of this with my
buddy Moe Mullarkey who
was Giz Contes best man that
day in 1972.
Moe, of course, remembered
it well.
Yeah, he said, Ill never
forget it, but at first I thought it
was a joke. I walked out of the
church and said, Hey, a guy in
a Nixon mask. I came this
close to pulling his nose.
What a picture that would
have been.

For 30 years Charlene Maroni
wanted a baby grand piano, but
she didnt have a house big
enough. Eleven months ago she
and her husband John took the
first baby grand step: they
bought a house with enough
room for a piano. Its located at
the corner of Philadelphia and
Susquehanna avenues in West
Pittston.
Two months ago they paid
$3,000 for Charlenes dream ba-
by grand. Today it sits under a
pile of flood rubble on Susque-
hanna Avenue in front of their
house.
The Maronis neighborhood
between the Water Street Bridge
and the armory was one the most
devastated by the flood of Sept. 8
and 9. The water was eight and
one-half feet deepinthe Maronis
parlor where the piano sat. Every
window was broken on the first
floor.
As the water rose, Wyoming
Area football coach Randy
Spencer, who lives up the block
on Philadelphia Avenue, offered
to get some muscle from his
coaches and players to move the
piano. But Charlene said it was
too dangerous, as by then the
rapidly rising water was at the
front door. Charlene and John
did manage to put the piano legs
in garbage cans figuring that
would save it from two feet of
water.
Standing in the gutted first
floor of her home on Wednesday
afternoon Charlene said, Even
thoughit looks like a disaster and
is a disaster I feel fortunate with
what we have. You know, Im
grateful I still have a house
standing, a lot of people dont.
And Im grateful that we have
flood insurance, a lot of people
dont and I feel bad for them.
Charlenes business, Char and
Company, a salon and spa on
Wyoming Avenue in West Pitt-
ston, got a foot of water.
Charlene said the water did
unexplainable things in her
house. In one room a dining
roomtable which can seat 12 was
thrown against a wall just feet
from where a wine glass sat un-
disturbed on a high shelf. Alarge
planter from her yard was found
in a tree by the armory about a
block away.
Charlene and John are deter-
mined to restore their home. I
love this house, she said. And
its going to be nice again. We
have these great guys fromRain-
bow to clean and it and great
guys will come in and put it back
together again.
Rainbow is a company which
specializes in flood clean up.
As many residents in affected
areas have been, Charlene is
moved by the help. The Red
Cross, the Salvation Army and
church groups come around reg-
ularly with cleaning supplies,
food and water. The West Pitt-
ston Methodist Church runs a
sandwich wagon.
Lighter moments offer a bit of
comic relief. John said when he
came back to the house after the
water went down he sawa dump-
ster in his neighbors yard and
wondered howhe had gotten one
delivered so fast, before realiz-
ing the river had delivered the
dumpster from parts unknown.
A ring of kielbasa stuck in a
tree near the armory was also a
source of humor in the neighbor-
hood. Residents took photos of it
and laughingly speculated
whether it was hot, smoked or
sopressata.

Shell never forget the day the music died
WP womans two-month-old baby grand piano reduced to rubble
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Charlene Maroni's prized baby
grand piano above, and how it
looks today on a curb outside
her home in West Pittston,
right.
John Maroni points to the high water mark on a tree near his
home.
Proving Mother Nature has a sense of humor, this kielbasa was
spotted in a tree near a flooded West Pittston home.

FACTS OF
LAW
Brought to you as a paid public service by
the Law Ofces of Dominick P. Pannunzio,
294 Main Street, Dupont, 655-5541
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
NewYorks top court, the Court of Appeals,
has rejected a criminal escape charge for a
juvenile who ran away from the Brooklyn
detention facility. The court ruled that the
state Family Court Act does not equate
detention with confnement and the
nonsecure facility with unlocked doors is
designed to rehabilitate, not punish.
***
A new adult-entertainment sign and billboard
law in Michigan bars photos of scantily clad
people. Nothing suggestive is allowed. The
signs and billboards can only feature words,
numbers and or a logo.
***
In a 5-4 ruling, the U. S. Supreme Court
has overturned a jury verdict and lower-
court rulings awarding $14 million to John
Thompson, who had sued then-New Orleans
District Attorney Harry Connick Sr. because
prosecutors hid a blood test that would have
proved his innocence in a murder case. The
court majority says the mistakes in the case
did not amount to deliberate indifference.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg emphasized
her disapproval by reading her dissent in the
courtroom, saying the court was shielding
a city and its prosecutors from fagrant
misconduct that nearly cost an innocent man
his life.
***
A new law in Iowa allows gas stations and
convenience stores to sell hard liquor, in
addition to beer and wine.

Wyoming Area football coach
RandySpencer andhis girlfriend
Tracy Roche got four-feet of wa-
ter at their home at 26 Philadel-
phia Avenue. Randysaidthe first
floor will be gutted and hes wor-
ried about the hardwood floors
which are buckled in a couple
spots. They may have to come
up.
Tracy said that without flood
insurance they will need help.
Were hoping to get the house
back in shape as it was, but I
guess that depends on the gov-
ernment. We didnt lose any-
thing thats not replaceable, but
its still hard.
The house is above the 1972
water line and they dont have
flood insurance. They do have a
lot of friends, though, and they
showed up to help on Wednes-
day. Assistants from his staff
Rich Musinski, Eric Speece and
Joe Pizano and some of the
Warrior players helped bucket
mud out, demo the basement and
pressure wash the walls.
As he took a break to eat wim-
pies dropped off by the Metho-
dist Church and free pizza deliv-
ered from Marianaccis, Randy
said he was reluctant to accept
the help from the players, but
they insisted, after he insisted
they help at other homes before
getting to his. On Thursday a
smaller crew worked at Spen-
cers home as some of the players
went to help elsewhere. Thurs-
days crew had pizza again, this
time donated by Sabatinis.
School was cancelled for the
week but practice went on as
usual at 3 p.m. though players
didnt have to practice when they
were needed at home. Everybo-
dy checked in at practice to see if
anybody else needs help. Dan
Resciniti of our parents organi-
zation did a great job directing
requests. The kids have been
great, were really proud of
them, Spencer said.
The players have been helping
since the water began to rise,
when they worked filling and de-
livering sandbags from the bor-
ough building.
Spencer said its odd to think
of football practice as a welcome
distraction, but its been so this
week. Its a nice break. Its nice
to focus and football for a while
and get your mind of all the de-
struction and the clean up.
Spencer and Roche have been
staying at her mothers house in
Taylor, as is their confused 13-
year-old chocolate Labrador re-
triever, Jasmine. She doesnt
like us to leave her there all day,
but shes getting used to it. Tra-
cy said.

The social quarter of Moose
Lodge 1207 at 425 Exeter Ave-
nue in West Pittston is under-
ground, but thanks toanall-night
vigil by members it wasnt un-
derwater during the flood.
The basement of the house
next door to the Lodge took sev-
enfeet of water. The Lodge quar-
ter might have been flooded, too,
but sandbags, pumps and a gen-
erator saved it.
Administrator Bernie Casse-
tori said after members sand-
bagged the stairwells, ground
water seeped in. An electric
sump pump handled that for a
while, but when the power was
shut off they brought in a gener-
ator to get the pump running
again. While the river didnt get
to the quarters it stopped out
front groundwater came in fas-
ter by the minute overwhelming
the sump pump. Cassetori was
called at home and came with
another pump. That wasnt
enough either. So he called Joe
Holly, who was at that time run-
ning a front-end loader building
a temporary earthen dike in Exe-
ter.
Holly said there was a larger
pump behind his business on
Tunkhannock Avenue.
Cassetori went for it, but be-
fore he could haul it back to the
Lodge he had to convince to a
couple of State Troopers he
wasnt a looter.
Withthe larger pumpthe water
in the quarters was limited to
eight inches and is open.
This past week Moose mem-
bers have been cooking hotdogs
and hamburgers outside for vic-
tims and clean-up workers. On
Friday they served coffee and
donuts in the morning. They also
delivered 50 spaghetti dinners.
Cassetori said 34 members
homes were flooded. They have
a standing offer to come in for a
free dinner anytime the kitchen
is open. Eight took advantage of
the offer on Wednesday.

Musical Instruments Survive
With homes flooded in some
cases to the second floor there is
a tendency in other cases to say
the flooding was was only in
the basement. Of course for most
folks that means heating and
electrical systems knocked out
For some it means destroyed
man caves or game rooms. For
some, like Jerry Haynes on Lin-
den Street in West Pittston a
flooded basement means unem-
ployment.
Haynes had a workshop in his
cellar where he restored musical
instruments, mainly brass horns,
for school and commercial
bands and individuals. He got al-
most all of the instruments in his
basement out before the water
flooded, but the machines he us-
es for fixing dents and polishing
brass were under water, includ-
ing a lathe and a $2,000 burnish-
ing machine for fixing dents.
The only thing I lost was
some cases and some broken
horns, Jerry said. I did work
for a guy who did a lot of brass
work for schools in the outlying
area, Mount North Pocono, so
Im going to work out of his
shop.
But Haynes, who is 73, said
hell be back. Im getting up
there, but I think Imgoing to get
a small business loan and get
back into business and go out in
style. I think thats what Im go-
ing to do
Haynes and his wife Ruth said,
like a lot of folks have said, they
are warmed by the help and sup-
port. A church group from Forty
Fort stopped into help. This
week some firemen are sched-
uled to help clean up the base-
ment workshop.

Grabiec awarded the Paderewski Gold Medal
Louis Galli-
Daveski, a mem-
ber of Boy Scout
Troop 485 St.
Maria Goretti
Church in Laflin
has earned the
rank of Eagle
Scout. Louis was
informed of his
accomplishment
back on October
20, 2010 by the
Northeastern PA
Council Eagle
Board of Review.
Louis has been
an active member
in scouting since
2003 when he joined Pack 485 as a Cub Scout. In May of 2005 he
had earned the Arrow of Light award. The Arrow of Light award
qualifies a cub scout who is ten years of age to cross over to a troop
before his eleventh birthday. Louis took part in a Cross Over
ceremony with Troop 485 directly after receiving this award.
Since May of 2005, Louis has been active in numerous scouting
activities which enabled him to earn twenty-three badges. He has
held various positions of leadership within the troop and has used
these skills while attending scouting activities and six summer
camps with his troop at Goose Pond Reservation. One of the most
memorable outings for Louis was when his troop visited the Get-
tysburg Battlefields on two separate occasions to complete re-
quirements to earn the Gettysburg National Historic Trails badge.
Louis has continued his connection with cub scouting by working
at Camp Acahelas Cub Scout camp during the summers of 2009
and 2010 and by volunteering in the camps Parent and Pal week-
end on several occasions. He is also a member of the Order of the
Arrow, Lowwapaneu Lodge 191.
Louiss Eagle Scout project involved organizing a group of
workers made up of scouts, friends and family members to clean
and paint a metal foot bridge over Gardner Creek which connects
Creekside Park and the athletic fields in Laflin. Louis solicited
funds anddonations fromcommunitymembers, parishioners of St
Maria Goretti Church and local businesses to complete the project
prior to the boroughs annual Memorial Day celebration. Mayor
Dorothy Yazurlo asked Louis to give a brief overviewof the pro-
ject and the values of scouting to those in attendance at the 2009
celebration.
Louis was honored at an Eagle Scout Court of Honor held at St
Maria Goretti Banquet Hall on February 28, 2011. In attendance
were scouts fromTroop485, present andpast scout leaders, com-
munity leaders and Louiss family and friends.
Louis would like to thank all of his scout leaders, his fellow
scouts, friends andfamilywhohelpedhimalongthe trail toEagle
Scout. He would like to thank his Scout Master, Mr. Vince Riggi
for his direction and guidance over the past seven years. Louis
would also like to acknowledge Mayor Dorothy Yazurlo and
Councilman Raymond Pendolphi for their sponsorship of his Ea-
gle Project as well as Borough Manager, Barbara Fairchild for
her help in organizing the project. Louis would especially like to
thank his younger sister Holly for her support.
Louis is a senior at Scranton Preparatory School this year and
is the son of Luann Galli-Daveski and Ed Daveski of Laflin. He is
the grandson of Phyllis and Louis Galli of Pittston Township and
the late Jenny and Anthony Daveski of West Wyoming.
Louis is pictured with Vince Riggi in the left photo. In the right
photo Louis is with Mayor Dorothy Yazurlo and Councilman
Raymond Pendolphi.

RichardandKimHiedacavage
lived on island for the better part
of three days. No, they werent
on vacation, they were stranded
in their home on Rt. 92 when the
river came up. Basically we
were in the river, Kim said.
Though water didnt get into
their first floor, it didfill their12-
foot deep basement and sur-
round their house on three sides.
Out front on Rt. 92 there was a
U-shaped dry area and a patch of
green in the front yard which
came in handy for their three
dogs. But there was nowhere to
go in either direction. Behind
their house the river was 12-feet
deep. It was up to third highest of
the 16 steps down from their
deck down to their backyard
lawn.
You should have heard the
roar, Kim said. I was getting
paranoid that a propane tank or
something was going to come
down and hit the house.
Amazingly, though their elec-
trical box was underwater, the
power stayed on. It has since
been turned off by PPL.
Richard took his boat out, ma-
neuvered around the Appletree
Restaurant, where most of the
first floor was under water, and
reached high ground where he
was met by their niece, Jennifer
Gadomski, and her boyfriend
Cody who were waiting with
food supplies.
They walked through a creek
chest deep and climbed down a
mountaintomeet him, Kimsaid
of her niece and her boyfriend.
Kim estimated that there were
five families and about 20 peo-
ple on their little island.
When the water receded it was
revealed that part of the deck was
ripped off, two sheds were car-
ried away and trees were flat-
tened to the ground.
Kim and Richard have been in
the house a year and one-half.
Before that they were in a trailer
in Riverview Park. That trailer
had water to the roof.
Kim admits they werent pre-
pared for the flood and maybe in
a bit of denial. The next time
they say evacuate, were getting
out, she said.

When the people-helping-people sce-
nario following the Flood of 1972 resulted
in this area being dubbed albeit self-pro-
claimed The Valley with a Heart, folks
in Greater Pittston soon began calling
their hometown region The Heart of the
Valley with a Heart.
Last week they proved it.
Sections of Greater Pittston West Pitt-
ston, Duryea, and Exeter boroughs and
Exeter and Jenkins Townships among
them were hit hard by The Flood of 2011
and face a clean-up effort more daunting
than after Agnes. From the look of things
last week, they are up to the task.
Once the water receded, residents in the
flooded areas rolled up their sleeves and
got right to work and immediately discov-
ered they were not alone. Help, in the
formof food, clothing, supplies, and man-
power, came pouring in from all direc-
tions and continues to do so.
The Dispatch has been receiving tales
of good deeds almost faster than we can
publish them. Some of those are men-
tioned in an article which begins on page
six. Others will be published in future is-
sues so, please, keep calling and sending
them in.
One we heard late Friday night is that
chef Pat Greenfield, whose own restau-
rant, the legendary Gricos in Exeter, was
recently destroyed by fire, was catering a
wedding last Saturday in a location spared
by the flood. She prepared extra food and
brought it to a flood evacuation center. We
can only imagine the reaction of those
huddled in a gymnasiumwhen they found
themselves dining on gourmet food.
In West Pittston, Ron Gitkos, owner of
the Valero gas station at the corner of
Wyoming and Montgomery Avenues, just
feet from where the flood waters stopped,
displayedthe signdepictedabove. Hardto
tell what flood victims would appreciate
most. Maybe the shoulders.
Pulling
together
Thank you for the great coverage of the Flood of 2011. There
were many, many hours of reporting from dangerous places.
I was co-publisher of the bookThe Great Floodof1972. I am
now 82 and could not get around like I did in 1972. I walked
many miles then since all the streets were impassible. Later, I
threwthe pants and shoes away and sold the mud-covered Volks-
wagen bus.
Inreadingandlisteningtothe volume of water that came down
fromthe sky and river last week I thought you would be interest-
ed in this page fromthe beginning of our book. I dont knowhow
the numbers compare to this week.
OnJune15, the clouds floatedaimlessly inthe sky off the Yuca-
tan coast. There was a slight movement of air, usually called a
breeze. Conditions were right and the wind grewin intensity and
velocity until it became tropical storm Agnes. Agnes was re-
vealed by satellite to have an unusually large circulation.
Agnes began to move, and as she moved, she grew - not as a
beautiful child maturing into lovely womanhood, but unfolding
as an ugly, ruthless and destructive force.
With the wind came the rain. By the time she had finished her
evil task Agnes would spewforth a total of 28 trillion, 100 billion
gallons of water.
Fourteen trillion gallons of this water fell on the states of New
York and Pennsylvania over the Susquehanna watershed as
Wyoming Valley was soon to realize. Together this would make a
solid cube of water twenty-five miles high, wide and long.
When the good earth could drink no more, the water ran into
the creeks. The creeks swelled and the water blasted its way into
the river.
And when the river could hold no more

OUR OPINION
YOUR OPINION
Agolinos Restaurant has been a member of this community
since 1962, and a dear member of our family. We are devastated
by this weeks raging river, and at times in awe of its destruction.
We are sad. We are angry. We cry, and when all the emotions
pass, we move forward. We are anchored by our parents, Joe and
Carm, who are determined to rebuild and we are encouraged by
their strength.
Agolino family appreciates the outpouring of help

Several flooded out residents of West Pittston
took a moment to express their thoughts with signs
on their properties.
Above is a sign hanging on the front of the law
offices of Atty. Michael Cefalo. Not only was Cefa-
los firm, which occupies this Century home and the
buildingnext toit onWyomingAvenue, flooded, but
also his home on Susquehanna Avenue. The mess-
age reflects the sentiments of many: Our town will
be back.
The sign in the photo at right expresses a different
sentiment, although perhaps tongue in cheek. It says
this MontgomeryAvenue dwellingis For Sale. As Is.

The new Eighth Street Bridge is not a dam. Its
a bridge. On that Thursday afternoon as the river
rose I went to West Pittston and saw the water
level was already above the Agnes 72 level.
Then I went to the new Eighth Street Bridge and
walked the length of the deck. At this point it
was closed to vehicles but folks were walking on
it.
On the way back to the Wyoming side with my
wife, and maybe 100 or so other people, we stop-
ped in the middle, and going back and forth
between the up and downriver sides, we watched
the river roar under the bridge. It was not hitting
the deck.
Yeah, there was plenty of debris in it and some
of it hit the piers, but most of it bounced back
into the flow and went under and on down river. I
watched this happen over and over to what
looked like porches, decks, sheds, dog coops, 55
gallon drums, tree trunks and branches, and God
knows what all.
The dam effect was zero and, as I said, the
water was already up in West Pittston and Jen-
kins.
Later that day, as it was getting dark, Mike
Flynn of the Wyoming Council was escorted to
the middle of the bridge. He saw a whirlpool of
debris spinning between the old and new bridges,
but saw nothing to indicate the bridge was acting
like a dam. The water was still roaring under the
bridge. The water got as high as the deck only
near the entrance on the Jenkins side and long
after West Pittston was flooded.
The theory that because the old bridge was
open water flowed through it doesnt hold, well,
water.
The flood of 1972 did not reach the deck of the
old bridge and neither did the flood of 2011. Also
note that the new bridge piers are much narrower
than the old bridge piers.
Lets grant that because half the old bridge is
still standing and there is a cofferdam where the
second half of the old bridge will fall when its
demolished, maybe those things, plus whatever
effect the new bridge had, backed up some water.
But then probably not. I talked to a consulting
engineer for PennDOT who said the bridge had
no effect and said more water flows under the
new bridge than under the old one. Congressman
Barletta said he wants a study of the Eighth
Street Bridges effect on the flooding. How in the
world would that work? Its preposterous.
Lets consider other factors. The crest was two
feet higher this time than in 72. Wouldnt that
have something to do with the water level in the
non-levee areas like West Pittston and Duryea
and downstream, too?
And lets take into account the saturated
ground from one of the wettest springs and sum-
mers on record and the amount of development
in suburban areas since 72 where hundreds of
acres have been landscaped and paved causing
less absorption and more runoff.
In 1972 when the levee failed, 10-15 square
miles of the Valley that was dry this time was
under 5 to 15 feet of water. Im no hydrologist,
but wouldnt that have something to do with the
higher water level in the non-levee areas this time
around? That makes tons of sense and almost
everybody accepts that. But, is everybody right?
Certainly the levees have an effect up and down-
stream, but is the levee as a cause of flooding in
West Pittston and Duryea overstated?
Theres a theory that the levee keeps the river
moving downstream fast and thats good for the
upstream areas. Under the theory in 72 when the
levee failed in Wilkes-Barre and Kingston the
river went from1/4 mile wide to three or four
miles wide in some areas. As the river widened,
its downstream flow slowed considerably. With
the river then going much more slowly past West
Pittston it spread into low lying areas there, may-
be not as much as if the dikes had held, but may-
be only a foot or so lower.
Like I said, Im no hydrologist, but it makes
some sense.
There are plenty of prevention theories out
there. Heres one to consider storm drains. Lets
say there were several huge storm drains with
enormous outflow pipes at the lowest points in
West Pittston. Granted the water those pipes
drained would go back into the river but the ex-
change might help keep the water level down.
Building more and higher dikes is another
remedy, but critics say dikes can be topped or
broken down as almost happened in Forty Fort
this time around. Some people say dredge the
river, remove the islands and dig out spillways or
giant catch basins in places like the Wyoming
and Exeter flats. But how deep can the river be
dredged? Theres bedrock on the river bottom.
Politicians say they want to make sure this
never happens again. There is no making sure.
No one can predict what Mother Nature will do
in the future.
It used to be that Agnes was the high standard
because it was the highest crest in recorded histo-
ry. We all went around saying it will never get
that high again. We were all wrong. Now we have
a new high standard two feet higher than Agnes.
It may not be likely we will again get the per-
fect storm of weather we had rain from two
tropical storms sandwiched around heavy rain
storms from the west all falling on saturated
ground.
On the other hand, it could happen again and
crest at 50 feet. Who knows?

Troubled bridge over water?
West Pittston certainly looks like a war zone, Mother Nature
against mankinds desire for clean and well furnished homes and
businesses.
Many of us are still not back to a habitable status.
After many hours of work outdoors in our gardens and indoors in
our homes and businesses, the fruit of our work has vanished only
waiting to be restored.
But what about our outdoor gardens, are their fruits and vegetables
safe to consume?
If anyones gardens are showing a rebirth after the flood, its best to
just look at the produce and not eat it.
The Food and Drug Administration recommends that fresh fruits
and vegetables that have been inundated by flood waters cannot be
adequately cleaned and should be destroyed.
Even though many of us believe that washing the produce with
clean potable water may reduce the bacteria and viruses on the out-
side of the produce, it is still important to note that those vegetables
and fruits or any editable herbs should not be consumed.
Food is only one of the concerns of a home affected by flood wa-
ters. Keepsakes items like books, especially cookbooks need special
handling also.
Cooperative Extensions around the country have many materials
available at the click of a computer mouse. Here are recommenda-
tions for salvaging cookbooks and other books that may be favorites:
If rinsing is necessary, hold the book closed.
For partially wet or damp books, stand themon their top or bottom
edge with covers opened at a 90-degree angle, and allow them to
air-dry.
For very wet books, lay them on a flat, clean surface. Insert paper
towels or other absorbent materials throughout the book. But dont
insert so much that you stretch the binding.
If there are too many books to air-dry in 48 hours, wrap each book
infreezer or waxedpaper, packthemspine downinsturdycontainers,
and then freeze them.
Visit this web sites for more information on restoration of family
keepsakes:
http://www.extension.purdue.edu/floodpub/keepsakes.html
It is also important during a disaster to take care of you.
This is the time to try to get a tetanus shot, rest and eat a well
balancedmeal, includingcalciumrichfoods like milkandcheese and
lots of fruits and vegetables.
During this period of time, your brain needs to be nourished as you
are making a lot of decisions about clean up. Take care of yourself so
that you can take care of your family.
Next Week: Apples
Next week we will resume our regular column topics with recipes.
Fall is almost upon us, and fresh apples are plentiful. Next weeks
column will feature varieties of apples and healthy ways to enjoy
them.

day morning someone spotted
Vice-President Joe Bidens mo-
torcade and yelled to school
principal Kathleen Gilmartin,
Is he coming here?
I hope not, she said.
It wasnt that Gilmartin wasnt
grateful that Biden was visiting
Duryea to see flood damage first
hand. Its just that Holy Rosary
didnt need a major distraction
like a VP visit not when they
had a school to move.
As Biden toured the flood dev-
astated Chittenden Street area
just three blocks fromthe school,
100 or so volunteers fromamong
school staff and parents and stu-
dents from Holy Redeemer and
Holy Cross high schools and Mi-
sericordia University carried
desks, chairs, cabinets, and box-
es from the school and loaded
themin trucks for a trip to the old
St. Marys school in Avoca
which will turn into Holy Rosary
on Monday morning.
Holy Rosary didnt get water
on its first floor, but the damage
left by six and one-half feet of
water in the basement was
enough to knock the school out
of commission indefinitely.
The water knocked out the
power and heating plant, but it
also destroyed the schools li-
brary, art/music room and cafe-
teria which were housed in the
basement.
Gilmartin said when St. Ma-
rys school closed much of the
contents from that library were
brought to Holy Rosary. She es-
timated 5,000 books were de-
stroyed in the combined library.
In the cafeteria the refrigerators
and freezer were knocked over.
Most of the musical instru-
ments from the art/music room
were moveduptothe gymbefore
the water rose, but the piano was
destroyed.
Rene Hawley, a teacher aide,
coordinated the move. As the
students arrived by bus she di-
vided them into two groups
heavy andlight lifters. Hear-
ing this Father Elston, the Holy
Redeemer Chaplin, quickly
lined up with the light lifters to a
roar of laughter.
In the school, the books and
other items the students had left
in their desks were waiting in
bags of top of the desks. Light
lifters carried these and other
smaller items form the class-
rooms, out a back entrance to
waiting pickups trucks, a class-
room per truck, while heavy lif-
ters went out the front with the
desks and large furniture.
Lindsay Rachko, an eighth
grader in her last year at Holy
Rosary, worked for a while in the
bucket brigade style line where
desks were handed down from
the upper floors.
I was devastated and really
shocked, she said as she passed
a student desk of how she felt
when she learned the school had
been flooded.
Asked why he volunteered,
Michael LaGrande, a Holy Re-
deemer student who carried
desks, said, Not to get out of
school. Just because I felt bad for
the flood victims.
Caren Scavo and her husband
Frank, parents of a Holy Rosary
fifth grader, were happy to help.
Frank, the general manger of
LKQin Old Forge, donated large
box trucks for the move.
Caren said she was heartened,
but not surprised by the number
of volunteers. Wonderful, she
said. Alot of the young men are
so responsible. Its good for them
to see a larger family working as
a community. This is a tight
community. Ive been coming to
church here since I was 17.
Many of the heavy lifters were
football players from Holy Re-
deemer in Wilkes-Barre and Ho-
ly Cross in Dunmore. While they
were teammates of a sort on Fri-
day at Holy Rosary, they were
opponents the next night when
the football teams played each
other in Wilkes-Barre. Asked if
he sawan irony in that, Redeem-
er player Tyler Margalski
shrugged and said, Right now
were working together trying to
do something good.
The 200-plus kindergarten
through eighth grade Holy Re-
deemer students will go back to
class in Avoca on Monday.
Its not known when the school
will reopen. Same next door at
Holy Rosary Church. Its base-
ment was also flooded knocking
out the heating system and pow-
er and the hall and kitchen.
Masses are being celebrated at
Sacred Heart of Jesus, also on
Stephenson Street but a good
distance from the flood area.

Notes: Members of
the John C. Kehoe Sr.
family recently con-
tacted us. They are
looking for an issue
of the Sunday Dis-
patch dated November
5, 1961 featuring Mr.
Kehoe on the front page. The Dispatch
does not have that issue in its archives.
If anyone has, or knows of someone
who may have collected past issues
please contact me at 602-0168. The
family is very interested in obtaining a
photo copy of the article.
In answer to our question of August
28, Corinne Caparoni told us she and
Rosalie Petonak, Carrie DeLeo, Diane
Pribula, Ann Farrell, Mary Alice
Saitta, Janet Lumley, Catherine Ne-
whart, Irene Smith, Rose Roback,
Bernice Clapps, Carole Cameli and
Marge Brozzoski, members of the Exe-
ter Park Volunteer Hose Company La-
dies Auxiliary Softball Team, lost to
Bell Telephone at a game played in
August of 1974. She could not recall if
the team ever won a game, but did re-
member everyone had a great time try-
ing. Thank you for calling, Corinne.
Question
In 1962, The Pittston Employment
office offered residents civil service
testing for clerk typist, clerk stenog-
rapher, key punch, tabulating machine
operator and bookkeeping jobs. Into
what yearly salary range did these posi-
tions fall? (A.) $9,000 to $10,000 (B.)
$3,000 to $5,000 (C.) $12,000 to
$15,000.
1952 59 Years Ago
Loose soil quickly slid into a pit on
Market Street where Howard Shannon
of West Pittston, a Scranton-Spring-
brook Water Service Company employ-
ee, was working. The scenario soon
became a dangerous cave-in. Adam
Hudak of Exeter, noticing the subsid-
ence, summoned aid and helped haul
away the dirt quickly collapsing around
Shannon. Nazareth Tomasetti of Pitt-
ston, in the pit with the incapacitated
Shannon, labored at the risk of his own
personal safety to keep the dirt from
totally covering his co-worker.
Jefferson Park was dedicated during
a program chaired by Attorney F.X.
DIorio, president of the Pittston Play-
ground Association. William B. Healey,
Warden of the Luzerne County Prison,
Mayor John Allardyce, Thomas J.
Hennigan and Rev. Alexander Turco
addressed those in attendance. Attorney
Leo White presented gifts to Carolyn
Demich, Daniel Conte Jr., and Robert
Watson for selecting a name for the
park. The park was built on a plot of
ground that once held the Half-Pint
mine operation.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked Pittston residents,
What do you think of boys and girls
wearing dungarees to school?
Sammy Falcone answered, They
might not look too good, but they prob-
ably are a lot more comfortable.
Rose Marie Wright said, They look
odd, I never wore them to school.
Michael Loyack added, Dungarees
make boys and girls look like farmers
instead of students.
Russell Williams stated, Overalls are
alright for boys but not girls, they dont
look good at all.
Ladies velvet hats with veil trim were
available at Kresges for $2.49. Feudin
Fools, staring the Bowery Boys was
playing at the New Roman, and Son of
Paleface with Bob Hope and Roy Rog-
ers was screened at the American The-
atre. The feature playing at the Liberty
Palace in Avoca was High Noon star-
ring Gary Cooper and Grace Kelly.
1962 49 Years Ago
West Pittston Hose Company #1 re-
ceived a coveted trophy from Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania Volunteer Firemens
Federation for having the largest number
of uniformed men in the federations
parade held in Carbondale. Sixty men
along with the West Pittston High
School Band attended. Officers Walter
Smith, fire chief; Caleb Tompkins,
first assistant chief; Richard Weinland,
foreman; Robert Holtz, assistant fore-
man; Paul Dietrich second assistant
foreman and Adam Searfoss, president,
arranged for the band to receive two
snare drums in appreciation for their
appearance.
Dedication ceremonies were held for
St. Josephs Church in Port Griffith.
Reverend Walter Skurski, Pastor,
thanked the community for their help in
making the new church possible.
1972 39 Years Ago
Two months after Hurricane Agnes
flooded the Wyoming Valley many
homeowners and businesses were trying
to return to normal. John W. Cohen, a
cashier at the West Side Bank, wrote the
following letter to West Pittston Bor-
ough Council President William J. Mill-
er. Please express to Borough Council,
employees and volunteers, our sincere
gratitude for their tireless efforts on
behalf of West Side Bank in the after-
math of the disastrous flood that struck
our community on June 23, 1972. Ways
in which you helped so many through
that difficult period will be remembered
by everyone.
Wyoming waited to hear about the
status of House Bill 12, which involved
tax abatement for properties affected by
the flood.
Duryea considered applying for feder-
al grant for a new municipal building.
Dupont sent a letter to the federal gov-
ernment offering tracts of land for trailer
sites.
Answer
In 1962, Clerk typist, clerk stenog-
rapher, key punch, tabulating machine
operator and bookkeeper positions were
all within (B.) $3,000 to $5,000 per year
salary range. According to salary.com
clerk positions today are more diversi-
fied and are technologically driven.
Because of specialization, todays sala-
ries range from $18,000 to $40,000.
Even our misfortunes are a part of our
belongings.

Krystina Prince, 13, came to
the YMCA two years ago to
watch her little brother, Kyle,
swim. That is when the magic
started.
She came with her mother
because I have her brother in the
Autism Swim Program. I asked
her if she wanted to get in the
pool and help me with Kyle. She
got in and she was a natural. I
knew she could help teach the
other autismchildren, said Judy
Dessoye Rostkowski, aquatics
director. You know when you
just know a child is special from
the beginning. She is one of
those kids. She shows her lead-
ership skills every day.
Today, Krystina is a proud
member of the Greater Pittston

She is a valuable member of
the swim team and a role model
to the younger swimmers, said

ming, she helps out inChildCare

Dispatch Associate Editor
Jack Smiles didnt set out to
write a trilogy of breaker boy-to-
Baseball Hall of Fame books,
but with the release of his biog-
raphy of Hughestowns Bucky
Harris, he has accomplished just
that. The book "Bucky Harris, a
Biography of Baseballs Boy
Wonder" is published by McFar-
land & Company.
Smiles took more than two
years writing and researching
the book, which is 320 pages and
contains 33 photos, appendix,
notes, bibliography, and index.
On Saturday, thats this Saturday,
September 23, beginning at 6:30
p.m. Smiles will be signing and
discussing the book and Barnes
& Noble at the Wyoming Valley
Mall hub.
While Harris is not technically
a local native -- he was born in
Port Jervis, NewJersey, in1896 -
his father moved the family to
Hughestown near Pittston when
Bucky was three.
In the 1920 census Bucky was
counted in Hughestown on Rock
Street and listed as a weighmas-
ter in a colliery. Just four years
later, at the age of 27, Bucky -
aka "The Boy Wonder" - as the
manager and second baseman of
the Washington Senators led the
team to its only World Series
championship in an upset so
stunning it was the inspiration
for the Broadway play Damn
Yankees.
Bucky also managed the 1947
World Champion Yankees in Yo-
gi Berras rookie season. The
book chronicles Buckys trans-
formation from an obscure
breaker boy with dirt under his
nails to the toast of our nations
capital where the president of the
United States was a guest at his
wedding and includes his stint as
a professional basketball player,
his early days as a baseball play-
er, and his role in the racial in-
tegration of both the Senators
and the Boston Red Sox.
As a basketball player Bucky
played for the Pittston Pitts in the
PennState League from1916-20,
participated in some fierce bat-
tles with Scranton, Wilkes-Barre
and Nanticoke teams and played
against Hall of Fame players.

As a worker for Rainbow In-
ternational Restoration and
Cleaning, Lance Locke has
cleaned up a lot of water dam-
age. But, he said as he worked
in the Maroni home in West Pitt-
ston, not usually of this magni-
tude.
Locke and the rest of the Rain-
bow crew came to West Pittston
from Coatesville where they
were staying while they cleaned
up in Delaware. The damage
there was mostly limited to base-
ments.
The Rainbow crew is based in
Nashville Tennessee. While
working in West Pittston this
week, they are staying at the Yogi
Bear Campground near Tunk-
hannock. We came up with a
couple of fifth wheels, Locke
said.
The crew had the Maroni first
floor, which was flooded with
eight-feet of water, cleared in a
couple of days.
Homeowner Charlene Maroni
was impressed. They work 12
hours a day and I never see them
stop or eat.
Rainbow International has
franchises all over the country
and in Germany, England and
Ireland.

tinue to need a meal. Many peo-
ple found out about the meals
through word-of-mouth, phone
calls, and the parish website.
They are also collecting gently
used clothing. Joyce Cecconi,
pastoral associate, said the re-
sponse has been so overwhelm-
ing that theyre running out of
space. Parishioners from St. Ig-
natius in Kingston have provided
much of the food that is given.
Cecconi said that the food ar-
rives from Kingston hot and
ready to eat. Parishioners from
St. John the Evangelist in Pitt-
stonare alsohelpinginmanyand
various ways.
On Friday, Sept. 16, volunteers
from Wilkes University assisted
with meal preparation and distri-
bution.
The parish will soon coordi-
nate volunteers for clean-up and
other necessary duties.

YO U R O P I N I O N
We would like to take this op-
portunity to extend our sincere
gratitude and thanks to all the
people, friends really, who have
called, stopped by, delivered
lunch, or an encouraging word
and a shoulder to lean on. Spe-
cial thanks to our staff who have
been with us in clearing out our
buildings, and their tireless ef-
forts. We are humbled by the ge-
nerosity of time and assistance
given by the Wyoming Area
football team, their parents, and
their coaches.
We are eternally grateful for
all you have done.
Best of luck to all who are af-
fected by this disaster. You will
prevail.
Sincerely,
Corinne Agolino Salko
On behalf of the Agolino
children

Agolino family
Last weeks storm caused a
large trunk of a tree to come
down just missing our house.
Our road was blocked.
Before the end of the day four
men, Jason Klush, Sam Valenti,
the city manager and a worker
cleared everything.
It was amazing to see the
hands-on mayor with a chainsaw
in his hands.
The quickness of response to
the situation and the genuine de-
sire to help of all four men still
leaves me in appreciation and a
feeling of debt.
For sure, our city is in good
hands.
Tony Capitano
Applauds Mayor Klush and
others for quick response
The families of the late Ken-
neth A. Davis Sr. would like to
acknowledge the Pittston Area
football team, coaches and sup-
port staff. Our family recently
lost our Dad. He was a great PA
football fan. All of his children
went to Pittston Area and he had
a son who played on the team
during the 1980s under Coach
Barbarie. He nowhas a grandson
playing for Pittston Area under
Coach Barrett.
Duringthis painful time, it was
helpful to know that our son had
the support, thoughts and
prayers from his team, coaches
and staff. Seeing all those young
men pay their respects to our fa-
ther made our mom and family
grateful for their kindness.
These boys had been at dou-
bles that day and I know they
were tired and sore, but they
came as a groupandgave us their
support in our time of need. We
are eternally grateful for their
thoughts and prayers.
Knowing that our son is play-
ing with such great people is a
comfort for our family. I am
proud to call myself a PA foot-
ball fan and Mom. These young
men are a treasure that we need
to be proud of.
The coaches, staff and parents
can be proud of these young
men.
Again thank you to the team,
coaches and staff

Id like to take this opportunity
to applaud an individual whose
commitment, dedication, and
service to his community, busi-
nesses, and residents during last
weekends catastrophic flooding
shouldnt go unnoticed.
While its not my intention to
trivialize the devastating impact
this horrendous act of God had
on the Garden Village or any af-
fected municipality or discount
the contributions of so many oth-
ers, I believe it necessary to call
out the above-and-beyond ef-
forts put forth by West Pittston
Borough Police Chief Paul Por-
firio. Simply, the unselfish ser-
vice and sacrifice repeatedly
demonstrated and displayed by
Chief Porfirio last weekend and
continuing rose far above the re-
cord-setting rise of the angry
Susquehanna.
Ill tell you I wasnt directly af-
fected by the flood, but main-
taineda close andconstant watch
on the incident as it developed,
not knowing if my home would
eventually be included in the lo-
cal evacuation plan.
It was over the course of this
multiple-day vigil I spent seem-
ingly endless hours monitoring
local television, radio, and pub-
lic safety radio broadcasts. It was
during this time one calm, col-
lected, and authoritative voice
clearly assumed control and dis-
played the confidence necessary
to face what had to be one of the
toughest challenges in his career
knowing his community de-
pended on him to protect and
serve while realizing his own
home and family would also
soon be inundated by the muddy
waters of a raging river. 84-1.
Chief Porfirio.
Time and time again, over and
over, directing decisive leader-
ship, leading by example, pro-
moting organization and order in
the most chaotic of times, and
accomplishing results while fac-
ing multiple obstacles some
man-made, others because of
human nature, and an act of God.
Kudos to Chief Porfirio for a
job well done!
Again, Pittston Citys loss is,
no doubts about it, West Pitt-
stons gain.
Id be remiss if I didnt also ap-
plaud the valiant efforts and en-
ergies also put forth by West Pitt-
ston Mayor Tony Denisco and
the boroughs fire department,
police department, public works
department, municipal adminis-
tration, ambulance service, and
emergency management team.
Thank you for your service to
your community! Please knowit
is very much appreciated!
R. Jude Rome
Ed. Note: The 84-1 appearing
before Chief Porfirios name in
this letter refers to how the local
9-1-1 emergency call center
knows him. The number 84 for
West Pittston. The number 1 for
chief.
Appreciates efforts of WP Police Chief Porfirio
The recent flooding event has
been devastating to many resi-
dents of Wyoming Valley and to
some of our own residents in
West Wyoming who have also
been impacted.

West Wyoming Council thanks all who helped
During this past week the
magnitude of this valleys devas-
tation was matched by record
levels of strength of humanity,
volunteerism, and compassion
from the Pittston Area Patriot
football team.
Last Saturday, when many
people were watching the Penn
State vs Alabama football game,
our Patriot football team was re-
moving debris and pumping out
water from the victims homes
that were affected by the 2011
flood in Duryea.
Many people around the
neighborhoods were greeted
with a large group of strong and
eager young men wearing PA
football shirts offering to help
their assistance, especially to an
equipment coach that always
stuck by them during their past
seasonal losses.
However, this past weekend,
everyone learned a lesson, Patri-
ots are proud and they are back!
Beginning with a new season,
a new head coach and a 2-0 re-
cord is just an example of what
exceptional teamwork can ac-
complish!
Granted, they know, winning
will not be bought nor handed to
them.
They have proved to the valley
and the district, they are trained
to handle blood, sweat and tears,
and that when they are lead by an
extraordinary coach, like Coach
Barrett, it is clear they are in the
rebuilding process and the
best is yet to come!

I had a column prepared for this week. It was the
usual frivolity, mayhem and ridiculousness.
But something happened last week and it
brought me to my knees. A silly column seemed
wrong and trite. It seemed inappropriate and disre-
spectful. The sadness is thorough and it is raw.
Because last week, we lost a wonderful, smart,
rising star, as a result of a motorcycle accident. It is
the second passing of a child this year and it hits a
small community in the gut. It knocks the wind out
of all of us and we grieve wholly and completely
andwe cryhonestlywiththose whomtheyhave left
behind.
When someone so young, so full of expectation
and potential passes away, it is an indescribable
pain. There is no rationale. There is no sense. We
questionourselves, our soul, our religion. We ques-
tion God, we question the universe. There is no log-
ic to this type of death. There just simply isnt.
I sit here and wonder what can I possibly write to
celebrate this young mans life? A life from which
he has gathered more joy than an average adult can
piece together in their lifetime. I dont knowwhat I
can say to do justice to his shining time on Earth; to
not sound like I am just making noise.
I have decided that when something of this mag-
nitude occurs, it is time to re-examine and re-orga-
nize our own lives and our own motives. As my
grandmother used to say: its time to straighten-up
and fly right. It is our time to fly right.
Use this tragedy to understand how important it
is to love everyone. Youve got to tell your kids you
love themevery, single day, all day, and showthem
your love a hundred different ways until Tuesday.
You let your children knowthey matter. They were
born into this word to be loved and embraced by
you. Dont ridicule your children, dont belittle
your children, dont make your children feel any-
thing less than just right.
If you have not loved your child today, do it right
now.
Childrentell your parents they are loved. They
may knowthis on some innate level, but if we never
hear it, we sometimes believe it may not be true. I
love you. Its so simple and so basic. It speaks vol-

In memory
Ed. Note: This column appeared last week. We are
re-running it today for those who may have missed
it due to the flood.

A candlelight vigil was held
for John Beno Borzell who
died from injuries suffered in a
motorcycle accident on Septem-
ber 3. He was 22 years old.
Fr. James Alco from Corpus
Christi parish spoke before ap-
proximately 75 people at the An-
thony Jake Sobeski Stadiumin
West Pittston, the same field on
which Beno played football for
the Warriors of Wyoming Area.
Family members and friends
had a chance to speak about Be-
no and his life and family. Past
and present Warrior football
players, along with family mem-
bers, then rang the school bell
17-times in honor of the number
he wore on his football jersey.
If you would like to donate to
the John Beno Borzell Schol-
arship Fund, send monetary gifts
in c/o UFCW Credit Union, 377
Wyoming Ave., Wyoming PA,

umes, it moves mountains. We
need to knowwe are appreciated
and adored. Never say good
night without saying: I Love You.
Never say good bye without say-
ing I Love You. It is as important
to us as the sun rising each day.
We are all experiencing a cata-
strophic flood at the moment. I
am, you are, we all are. Its awful,
and its a pain in the assbut all
the material things we lost are re-
placeable. And those that
arentcannot matter.
We matter.
Our children matter.
Our friends and parentsthey
matter.
Our rugs and floors and books
and toastersthey really dont .
If we prioritize our lives in this
manner, it makes more sense. It
makes it bearable. We are all still
here and you can buy a new
toaster.
Stop whining. Nothing in your
life is worth whining about.
Make a decision every day when
you awaken: Today, everything
is possible. Its all goodnoth-
ing to cry about. Today is here, I
am here and we are all fine.
Dont log onto Facebook to-
night and whine about your boy-
friend, your bad haircut, your in-
grown toenail or your weight
gain. Just dont. Decide that each
day is worth something positive
and amazing. A smile and a skip
in your step wouldnt hurt either.
Say youre sorry, and mean it,
dammit.
When you make a mistake, ad-
mit youve made a mistake.
Dont cover-up, dont place
blame and for Gods sake, dont
ignore it and hope it vaporizes.
No one will shoot you with an
air-soft gun if you err. Just say
youre sorry and accept your
fate. Apologizing when youve
hurt someone shows humility
and self-awareness and grace.
There are so many roads to
take in this lifetime. Take the
road to right.
To say my heart is broken for
the families who have lost a child
sounds extraneous and unsub-
stantial. But its true. My heart is
broken. I have cried and I have
cried some more. I will never un-
derstand the monstrosity of your
grief, but I share my heart and
tears with you.
There is a poem Ive had
tucked into every wallet Ive
owned since my red patent leath-
er Barbie wallet, circa 1972. It
has survived its own flood in
Agnes, a theft, a return and a
drop in a toilet at PSU. This po-
em has seen me through more
scenarios in these past 39 years
than I care to admit, but it always
comforts me and gets me
through the most horrific of
times. It eases the pain of loss
and it soothes my aching heart. I
want to share it with you and per-
haps it will soothe yours, too.
This one is for Beno.
Do Not Stand at My Grave
and Weep
by Mary Elizabeth Frye
Do not stand at my grave and
weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that
blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I amthe gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening
grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling
flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I amin the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and
cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

In the towns
Remembering the lesson of
the Good Samaritan she learned
in her Catholic home school cur-
riculum, 8-year-old Avoca resi-
dent Mary McAdarra knew she
wanted to do something to help
people who were impacted by
the recent flooding in the Wyom-
ing Valley. After some thought,
Mary rallied the support of her
brothers, Johnny and Nicholas,
as well as her neighborhood
friends to raise money to donate
to Holy Rosary School which
suffered significant damage in
the recent flooding in neighbor-
ing Duryea.
From September 13-15, the 13
children sold iced tea for 50
cents per glass and homemade
applesauce for $1 per serving
curbside at the McAdarra home
from 4-7 p.m. after school.
Through their efforts, the kids
raised not only over $100, but al-
so everyones spirits. Those who
helped served the people in need
are: Mary, Johnny, and Nicholas
McAdarra; Belle and Charlie
Vermac; Miz Kishbaugh; Bran-
don, Lauren, and Jack Farrell;
Matt and Sarah Molea; Logan
Bertrand; and Miranda Roma-
nofski.

For the past several days Du-
pont Borough Council members
along with Dupont Public Works
Dept. have donated their man-
power for their neighbors in Du-
ryea with the flood clean-up
along with the use of the bor-
oughs packer, backhoe, skid-
steer and generator.
Dupont residents have con-
tributed cases of paper towels
and Dupont Borough has donat-
ed 700+ purple refuse bags
Residents from Hamlin drop-
ped off an assortment of a clean-
ing supplies, brooms, mops,
Pine Sol, bleach etc. at the mu-
nicipal offices.
Here are some ways you can
help at this desperate time: Du-
pont Borough municipal office
will be usedas a dropoff center if
residents wish to donate any
cleaning supplies. If you care to
make a financial donation send
your donation to Red Cross Lo-
cal Flood Relief at P.O. Box

Eco-tip
Here is Joeys Eco-tip of the
week: The Lower Lackawanna
Valley Sewer Authority is asking
residents of Dupont and sur-
rounding communities to con-
serve water. One way to do this is
by turning off the water when
you are washing your hair or
brushing your teeth. This saves
water and creates less sewage for
the people who got flooded.

sisi, the blessing of animals will

FRESH & SMOKED KIELBASI
Theres a hymn that contains
the lyric, Surely the presence of
the Lord is in this place.
Those words are a fitting de-
scription of what so many have
witnessedintownthis week. Fol-
lowing days of devastation re-
sulting from recent Lackawanna
River flooding, Duryea citizens
have certainly pulled together to
help one another. Swarms of Du-
ryeas and neighboring towns
first responders along with
neighbors, friends, and even pas-
sers-by have pulled together to
start recovery efforts in our com-
munity.
One of the places where this
effort has been most evident is at
the VFW Post 1227 in Duryea.
Capturing the attention of over
350 social network users, the
Help for Duryea Flood Vic-
tims Facebook page has
brought about an outpouring of
love and generosity from
throughout the region. Because
of the fundraising campaign of
this network, the VFW is filled
with clothes, cleaning supplies,
appliances, and so many other
items donated by all of you.
According to the site, a former
Duryea resident now residing in
Texas was shipping a box of
items to the VFW because she
cares so much about her home-
town.
This type of spirit really helps
to start the healing the town
needs right now. While it will
take numerous months for flood
victims lives toresemble anysort
of normalcy, the long road to re-
covery begins now.
The volunteers who have been
so dedicated in organizing the
Help for Duryea Flood Vic-
tims relief program encourage
not only Duryea residents but al-
so any person who has been im-
pacted by the flood to come to
the collection site at 492 Ste-
phenson St. to gather supplies to
assist them in their cleanup ef-
forts.

Its been two weeks since Wyoming Ar-
ea stepped on a football field. Forced to
cancel its game with West Scranton last
week because of the flooding to West Pitt-
ston and other west-side communities,
the Warriors were chomping at the bit to
get back to the gridiron and prove they
were better than the team that gave up a
34-12 halftime lead in its opener.
It didnt take Wyoming Area long to do
just that.
Junior quarterback Nick OBrien
scored on the Warriors first play from
scrimmage on his way to a huge night as
Wyoming Area smashed Lake-Lehman,
43-10, in a Wyoming Valley Conference
Class 2A game at Edwards Stadium on
Friday night in the Back Mountain.
On Lake Lehmans first possession it
seemed as if the predictions of a shootout
were going to come true. The Black
Knights moved the ball down the field
with ease on the Warriors defense until
Lehman quarterback Jared Novitski
threw a backward pass and missed his re-
ceiver. The ball was ruled a fumble which
the Warriors recovered to set up OBrien
OBrien who rushed for 218 yards
and four touchdowns on the night took
his first snap with approximately 10 min-
utes on the clock and ripped up the middle
through a wide-open hole for a 61-yard
touchdown. Freshman Jeff Skursky ran in
the two-point conversion and the War-
riors led, 8-0.
My coach just has put me in a good
position to make plays, said OBrien on

Riverside dealt Old Forge a
tough loss 3-2 on Monday in
Lackawanna Soccer League Di-
vision 3 action at Veterans Me-
morial Stadium as the Blue Dev-
ils played the first half without
three of its top players. The victo-
ry by the Vikings was the teams
first over Old Forge and its first
LSL win ever.
Missing senior captains J Ar-
gonish, Adam Barsigian and Ian
Nemetz for the entire first half
the trio were at a previously
scheduledBlueDevils golf match
- junior Matt Mancusowas ableto
help hold things together for Old
Forge (1-2) as they went into the
half down 1-0 on a Marc Lucas
unassisted goal with less than
eight minutes left. Mancuso him-
self left immediately after the
match to go kick for the football
teamwho was playing in Wilkes-
Barre.
"Mancuso is going to be the
key to our season this year, he is
going to be the guy to step up and
he is going to make or break the
season for us," said Head Coach
John Argonish. "Hes a tremen-
dous player... he does everything
we ask him to do, hes a tremen-
dous attribute to our team."
When the threesome, Old
Forgeseemedtogainsomeconfi-
denceandalittlebit of swagger as
they came out and tied the game
less than three minutes into the
half when Mancusos corner kick
was put intothe backof the net by
Bobby Cipollina.
However, Riverside answered
right back at the 47:52 mark to
takea2-1leadoff of abigthrowin
that was touched into the left side
of the net by Jaron Vishnesky.
Old Forge nearly tied the game
with less than 22 minutes left
when Nemetz got his head on a
Mancuso corner and forced a de-
fender to make the save off of the
goal line.
Then less than two minutes lat-
er, Mancuso played a tight fit
through ball to Argonish who
one-touchedthe ball ongoal forc-
ingadivingsavefromtheVikings
keeper.
With 15 minutes left, Cody
Mackin took a through ball for
Riverside and was one-on-one
with Old Forge keeper Corey
Washington. The Vikings striker
tried to place the ball around
Washington, forcing himto make
a sliding kick-save to keep the
Blue Devils within one goal.
Four minutes later, Mancuso
took a pass from Argonish and
drilled the potential game tying
goal off of the crossbar.
Riverside shocked Old Forge -
who was controlling the ball and
maintaining their attack - when
Mackin took the ball and bent it
perfectly around Washington to
push its lead to 3-1 with 5:42 left
in the game.
Two minutes later Mancuso
found Argonish again, however
this time the returning LSL-3 all-
star was able to find the back of
the net after fighting his way
throughtwodefenders cuttingthe
lead to 3-2.
However, Riverside was able to
stymie the Blue Devils offense
for the final three minutes and
hold on for the win.
"Im real happy with the way
we worked the ball," said Argon-
ish. "The last two games weve
out shot our opponents, weve
won more corners, weve won
more balls, weve won more balls
in the midfield, its just the game
of soccer and we came up a little
short today."
OF 3, Forest City 8
A shell-shocked Old Forge
team surrendered six goals in the
first 40 minutes in a 8-3 loss to
Forest City on Tuesday afternoon
at the BillyLongSports Complex
in Old Forge.
The Foresters scoredfour goals
duringafive-minutestretchinthe
middle of the first half to put the
game away.
The Blue Devils finally got on
the boardinthe11thminute of the
second half when J Argonish
scored on a nice feed from Matt
Mancuso to cut the Forest City
leadto7-1. Four minutes later, Ar-
gonish scored an unassisted goal
to get Old Forge (1-2) within 7-2.
But the Foresters added anoth-
er goal before Ian Nemetz scored

hat-trick in PA win
Lady Patriots beat Montrose,
7-0, in WVC opener
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
After an emotional come-from-behind
victoryover ScrantononMonday, Pittston
Area just didnt have anymore to give.
Forced to play two games in five days
due to the flooding which struck north-
eastern Pennsylvania, the short break was
not so kind to the Patriots as they fell 54-
31 to undefeated Crestwood in a Wyom-
ing Valley Conference Class 3A game on
Friday night in Mountaintop.
The Comets jumped out an early 28-7
lead in the first half and never looked
back.
Luck was hardly on the Patriots side
when the Comets recovered an onside
kick to start the game. Less than two min-
utes into the game, Crestwood quarter-
back Nick Aigeldinger bulldozed his way
into the end zone. He then added the extra
point giving the Comets the 7-0 lead.
Pittston Area (2-1) bounced back tying
the game at 7-7 with 2:43 remaining in the
first quarter. Anthony Schwab dropped
back, but could not find an open receiver.
So the senior signal-caller navigated his
way around several Comet defenders and
went sevenyards for the score. Chris Mus-
to continued his PAT success as he split
the uprights in his first attempt of the
night.
But Crestwood posted 21 unanswered
points in the remainder of the first half,
taking a three-touchdown advantage to
the locker room.
The Comets added another score in the
third quarter when Roger Legg broke for a
9-yardtouchdown, andall of a sudden, the
Patriots were down 35-7. However, rather
than rollover and quit, the Patriots offense
ignited midway through the third quarter.
I thought we moved the ball well in the
second half and thats what I wanted to

Manyhave comparedthe recent Septem-
ber flooding to the Agnes flood in 1972.
However, the world is much more techno-
logically advanced now, than it was 39
years ago, and the Pittston Area football
team took advantage of the that new tech-
nology when one of their own needed them
most.
Last Saturday, Pittston Area head coach
Mike Barrett sent a text message to his
teamand before he knewit he had an abun-
dance of football players ready to do their
part in the flood relief.
All it took was a text message and we
had 25 guys ready to go, Barrett said. It
was such a devastating scene, but I was
proud of how our guys stepped up and did
what they could to help.
One of the houses they ended up helping
clean up was that of Pittston Area assistant
coach Mark Naylor who lost much of his
home when the flood waters rose five feet.
Whenit was time tocleanup, Naylor didnt

Old Forge made a statement
from the first play of the
game that its defense would
control its early season show-
down with District 2 Class 1A
foe Northwest on Friday
night.
And what a statement it
was.
The Blue Devils picked off
Rangers quarterback Gunner
Majers first pass of the game,
and held the Rangers to just
12 yards rushing as it dom-
inated the line of scrimmage
on its way to a 35-8 victory at
Old Forge Veterans Memorial
Stadium.
Joey Ciuccio is off the ball
better than anybody right
now, said Old Forge Head
Coach Mike Schuback of his
senior defensive end who has
five sacks and four fumble re-
coveries in three games. He
understands whats going on
with our defense. He does
what is asked of him. He
doesnt play out of the de-
fense. He is just playing with-
in the team concept.
I cant be happier from the
defensive line stand point
(Anthony) Conforti is back
healthy at D-Tackle. (Paul)
Papi, Tony (DeSando), Tippy
(Tyler Clark) are all jumping
in there and giving us some-
thing. Cory Stuart right off
the bat on the interception,
pressuring the quarterback,
make a statement. Our rota-
tion is as solid as it has ever
been. Weve never had this
depth with lineman that could
run.
After Old Forge linebacker
Ryan Cadwalder picked off
Majers pass at his own 27-
yard line to start the game, the
Blue Devils drove 62 yards
where they had first-and-10
from the Northwest 11. But
Dalton Tomko returned the
favor for the Rangers, picking
off a Colin Carey pass on his
own 4-yard line to keep Old
Forge out of the endzone.
It wouldnt matter as the
Blue Devils held Northwest to
minus-2 yards on first and
second down, and after a Maj-
er incompletion, Old Forge
forced Northwest to punt.
DeSando got free and
blocked Dalton Tomkos punt
after the senior had trouble
with the snap. He then
pounced on the loose pigskin

Three times Old Forge drove
inside the GAR 25-yard line in
the second half with the ability to
get within a touchdown of the de-
fending District 2 Class 2A
champions.
Three times the Blue Devils
turned the ball over.
It was the story of the game for
Old Forge as the Blue Devils
turned the ball over a total of five
times in a 29-14 loss to the Gre-
nadiers on Monday night at
Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadi-
um.
Old Forge opened the game by
running the ball right at the GAR
defense as Lou Febbo ripped off
a 25-yard run on the first play
from scrimmage before capping
an 11-play, 65-yard drive with a
two-yard plunge. Dave Argust
booted the extra-point and the
Blue Devils led, 7-0, with 6:52
left in the first quarter.
The teams traded possessions
before GAR quarterback Darrell
Crawford went 14-yards on a
scramble on second-and-11 to
knot the game at 7-7 just 43 sec-
onds shy of the second quarter.
The second quarter was ugly in
terms of offense as both teams
combined for just 13 net yards.
But with Argust standing in his
own endzone setting up to punt
toward the end of the first half,
GAR got a break.
A bad snap caused Argust to
kick a loose football out of the
endzone intentionally for a safe-
ty, giving the Grenadiers a 9-7
lead at the half.
The third quarter opened with
what could have been the break
Old Forge was looking. But in-
stead it turned into an opportuni-
ty for the Grenadiers unheralded
defense to assert itself.

When Pittston Area began
practice over a month ago, Head
Coach Mike Barrett believed
they would be competitive in his
first year at the helm. After the
team failed to win a game last
season, one might have said
Barretts expectations were a bit
far fetched.
However, with a 21-14 victory
over Scranton Area, Barrett and
his Patriots are beginning to
prove they are once again ready
to put Pittston Area football
back on the map.
Im really excited, I love
these guys, they are awesome,
Barrett said. We played tough
tonight and I was really happy
with how we competed.
The way the game started, it
seemed the Patriots were in for a
long night.
Scrantons Joe McCarthy be-
gan the game with a squib kick
right up the middle of the field.
The Knights recovered the kick
and began their first offensive
drive of the game on the Patriots
24-yard line. The Patriots stuff-
ed the Knights offensive plans
however and forced themto punt
the ball away.
Pittston Area couldnt get
anything going on their first
drive and Chris Musto punted
the ball a booming 48 yards to
ensure the Knights didnt get
great field position. But McCar-
thy put a dent in that plan, run-
ning the kick back 30 yards all
the way to the Patriots 38-yard
line.
Scranton drove to the Patriots
24-yard line, but instead of go-
ing for a field goal they tried to
get the first down on fourth-
and-4. Pittston Area had other
plans as the duo of Joe Harth
and John Ameen stuffed full-
back Kyle Czarnowski near the
line of scrimmage forcing a
turnover on downs. Ameen had
a huge night defensively, post-
ing a game-high 15 tackles for
the Patriots.
Pittston Area took over on
their 22-yard line with 4:46 re-
maining in the first quarter, and
drove for a score to take a 7-0
lead with 23 seconds left in the
opening period.
The drive consisted of two
Anthony Schwab completions
along with some key rushes by
Justin Wilk and Marc Romanc-
zuk. Freshman Kyle Gattuso put
the Patriots in the red zone when
he broke loose for 32 yards.
Kyle is going to be a good
player, Barrett said. He
showed us what he could do in
the offseason and leading up to
the season. He works very hard.
Wilk then went on a jaunt of
his own, 12 yards into the end
zone, and Musto added the ex-
tra-point for the lead.
The line did a heck of a job
blocking tonight (Monday),
Barrett said. I am so proud of
them.
Scranton came roaring back
in the second quarter eventually
taking a 14-7 lead.
The McCarthy brothers
scored both Knight touchdowns.
Joe found the end zone first,
rushing 56 yards to paydirt on
the first play of the second quar-
ter, and younger brother Jake
scored with 5:55 left in the first
half after breaking free for 54
yards.
Scranton converted the two-
point conversion after the first
touchdown and missed the PAT
after the second score.
Neither team found the end
zone in the third quarter. How-
ever, the Patriots offense erupted
for two unanswered touchdowns
in the final quarter.
Wilk scored his second touch-
down of the game with 10:11 re-
maining in the game. It came on
a 3-yard rush. Musto continued
to be consistent with his PATs
and the Patriots and Knights
were tied at 14-14.
The Patriots werent done
there.
Romanczuk gave the Patriots
the lead and the eventual win by
bulldozing his way one-yard
across the goal line with 2:42 re-
maining. Musto was cool under
pressure and made it a perfect 9-
for-9 on the year with extra
points to give PA a 21-14 lead.
The Patriots defense came up
big backed by strong efforts
from Ameen, Jake Zalewski,
Tyler Roman, David Dragon,
Cody and Joe Stoss, and Jordan
Houseman. All had tremendous
games for the Patriots and were
a big reason the Patriots stayed
in the game.
Dragon notched11tackles and
Zalewski added seven.
Scranton penalties helped the
Patriots in the game, bailing
them out of many tough situa-
tions. The Knights were penal-
ized 17 times for a total of 165
yards. Many of their penalties
came in the final quarter. The
Patriots were only penalized
three times for a total of 30
yards.
Wilk was the leading rusher
for the Patriots. He carried the
ball 17 times for a total of 62
yards.
Despite going just 1-for-4
with a touchdown and an inter-
ception in the season opener,
Schwab drastically improved
against the Knights. He was 13-
for-20 with 114 yards.
Houseman caught eight balls
for 67 yards and added one rush
for 34 yards.
Last week we wanted to es-
tablish our running game, Bar-
rett said. But this week we let
Anthony throw the ball and he
did a heck of a job. I was really
impressed.

After GAR opened the third
quarter on its own 43 following a
nice return by Shaliek Powell, the
Blue Devils recovered a fumbled
snap, turning the ball back and
momentum - over to the Old
Forge offense.
Two rushes by Blue Devils
quarterback Colin Carey and an-
other by tailback Lou Febbo set
Old Forge up at the GAR23 with
second-and-8.
Dropping back to pass, Carey
was hurried into an incompletion
by pressure from defensive line-
men Shakir Soto and Elijah
Greshman. The GARduo did the
same onthirddown, andas Carey
tried to set up a screen for Febbo
on fourth down, Greshman again
was there to force a third straight
incompletion.
The defensive stand was the
turning point as the Grenadiers
rattledoff 20straight points onits
next three possessions to take
command of the game.
Dwayne Wright carried for 20
yards on two carries after GAR
took over, and on third-and-5
from the Grenadiers 45, quarter-
back Darrell Crawford hooked
up with Powell for a 38-yard
completion give GARfirst down
from the Old Forge 12.
On the next snap, Wright car-
ried up the middle before sprint-
ing to the corner for the touch-
down, and a 16-7 GAR lead with
8:42 left in the third quarter.
Old Forge was on the move
again before the GAR defense
made another play.
Carey had rushed for 19 yards
and a first down into Grenadiers
territory, but while fighting for
extra yards, Powell stripped the
ball fromthe senior signal-caller.
On third-and-1, Crawford
scampered for 35 yards down the
home sideline before hooking up
with Powell two downs later for
17 yards to set up first-and-goal
from the Old Forge 6. The senior
then called his own number on a
keeper to put GAR ahead, 22-7.
The two-point pass failed.
The Blue Devils tried to an-
swer on its ensuing possession,
driving to the GAR 15 on 10
plays, but Max Gates caused and
recovered a fumble on an option
play to give the ball back to
Crawford and the Grenadiers.
On the next play from scrim-
mage, Crawford electrified the
home crowd.
Takingthe snapout of the shot-
gun formation, Crawford who
rushedfor148yards on13carries
started left before sprinting up
the middle of the field and to the
endzone for the 80-yard touch-
down. Heights kick was good
and GAR led 29-7 with 11:08 re-
maining.
Old Forge got to within 29-14
after the Blue Devils forced a
turnover in GAR territory. Carey
scored on a 1-yard sneak with
8:31 to go, but Old Forge could
get nocloser as Wright pickedoff
a Carey pass on fourth down to
end a threat.
Carey rushed for 161 yards on
16 carries for the Blue Devils but
was intercepted three times by
GAR. Febbo added 85 yards and
Old Forges first touchdown.

bling against GAR.
to put Old Forge on the board,
6-0. Matt Mancusos first of
three successful extra-points
was good, and the Blue Devils
led 7-0 with 7:11 remaining in
the first quarter.
It felt really good to score
a touchdown, said DeSando.
There was an opening and I
just shot through and got
there. Then I jumped on the
football.
Old Forge forced Northwest
to punt on its next two posses-
sions before taking over first-
and-10 on the Rangers 16 to
open the second quarter after
Carey completed a pass to
Anthony Piccolini for 20
yards and scrambled for an-
other 10. The Blue Devils
held Northwest to just five to-
tal yards in the first quarter.
But the drive stalled after
two incompletions and a 2-
yard run by Carey after
Northwest had declined a
holding penalty on Old Forge
to force fourth-and-8
The Blue Devils were con-
tent to settle for a 30-yard
field goal try as they trotted
Mancuso out to kick. But the
Rangers jumped off sides,
and Old Forge went for it on
fourth-and-3, converting
when Carey ran six yards on a
keeper to the Northwest 3.
Three plays later Lou Febbo
hit paydirt from 1-yard out to
put the Blue Devils ahead,
14-0 with 9:47 left in the sec-
ond period.
They block for me so I
have no problem blocking for
anyone else, said Febbo who
rushed for 111 yards on 10
carries after going the entire
first quarter without a carry.
Its easy when your offensive
line is doing the job like they
did tonight. They made me
look good out there.
Febbo scored again on the
Blue Devils next possession,
capping an eight-play drive
with a 2-yard burst up the
middle to put Old Forge
ahead, 21-0, with 4:38 left in
the first half.
The Blue Devils defense
was dominating in the first
half, allowing just seven
yards on nine rushes and forc-
ing Majer into a 5-for-13 per-
formance. Majer did throw
for 90 yards in the opening 24
minutes 59 of which came
on a hook up with Tyler Pega-
rella after Old Forge went
ahead by three scores.
But the Blue Devils held af-
ter the play set the Rangers up
on the Old Forge eight by
forcing three straight incom-
pletions after Majer ran for
two yards on first down.
Old Forge opened the sec-
ond half with a 32-yard kick-
off return by Mike Vieira,
coupled with a personal foul
facemask penalty on the
Rangers which put the Blue
Devils on the Northwest 34.
Five plays later, Carey hit
Febbo with a middle screen
pass on fourth-and-11 which
the senior tailback broke for a
25-yard touchdown run after
great blocks from sophomore
guard Paul Papi and senior
wideout Dave Argust. Man-
cusos kick was wide right,
but Old Forge was in control,
27-0, with 9:24 left.
The Old Forge defense then
dug in, sacking Majer twice
on the next possession with
both DeSando and Ciuccio
getting to the 63, 230-pound
signal caller. On the second
sack, Ciuccio pried the ball
lose from Majer and reco-
vered the fumble at the Blue
Devils 39.
We really went back to our
roots this week, said Ciuc-
cio. We really stepped up
and made some big plays and
big tackles tonight.
Old Forge added its final
score with 2:17 left in the
third quarter when Carey
found Vieira in the back of
the endzone for a 19-yard
touchdown. Carey then com-
pleted the two-point pass to
Argust, and the Mercy Rule
went into effect with the 35-0
lead.
Carey finished the night 16-
for-25 for 193 yards.
I told them before the
game, the only team that
could beat you is yourselves,
said Schuback. If you dont
turn the ball over, and you
dont make mistakes, you are
going to win football games.

It has been a trying week for
many residents of the Greater
Pittston area. I sit here with a ve-
ry heavy heart trying to write an
upbeat story while many local
people are still scraping the mud
off of personal belongings. I
close my eyes and see the piles
of furniture, muddy carpets and
ruined clothing lining the streets
of our area. Much of my time
this week was taken up by flood
coverage. It was hard to look in
the faces of the people who lost
everything and some without
flood insurance. The flood wa-
ters and its devastation have
consumed their lives not just
their property.
For me its flashbacks to1972.
I was twelve years old at the
time and like most people I felt
helpless despite the fact that my
home was blocks away from the
flooding. The facial expressions
on the victims who experienced
the ravaging flood waters back
then looked as tired and frustrat-
ed as the faces on the latest vic-
tims.
The magnitude of this disaster
is unprecedented and has left
many of us searching for a way
to help. Churches have been
feeding the hungry workers and
families, businesses are donat-
ing services and supplies, and
people have been volunteering
with countless hours of shovel-
ing, scrubbing and lifting. There
is a way to make a donation for
local flood victims. It has been
set up through the local Red
Cross. Readers can donate to the
"Red Cross Local Flood Relief"
at P.O. Box 526, Scranton, PA
18501. You can also donate on-
line at localfloodrelief.com. My
thoughts and prayers are with
everyone directly or indirectly
affected by the flood of 2011.
Archery Season
The opening day of the 2011
archery season is two weeks
away. The six week season be-
gins on Saturday, October 1, and
closes on Saturday, November
12. If you havent been scouting
or practicing with your bow and
arrow then the next two weeks
are critical for safety and suc-
cess. The recent hurricanes and
floods may have played havoc
with your trails and treestands.
It is important to check out your
hunting hotspots. Make sure the
steps on your treestands are safe
to climb. This should be done
well in advance of the opening
day. Be sure to check your per-
manent stands before hunting
out of them. They may have
weakened or they may have
pulled away fromthe tree. Many
trees have fallen victim to the
storm. Be sure the tree itself
isnt cracked or partially uproot-
ed.
Many hunters I know4-wheel
drive or ATV to their stands. I
strongly recommend that these
travel routes are explored during
the daylight. The last thing you
want to do is happen upon a ma-
jor washout or dangerous over-
hang. Many of the Pennsylvania
Game Land roads have been
washed out or even destroyed by
the recent flooding. The condi-
tions are so bad that the Game
Commission was forced to can-
cel its Game Land tours set for
early October. Officials tell me
that they are working to get as
many roads passable for hunters
as possible. Once again be sure
to check.
It is my experience that most
deer trails are used from year to
year however be sure to check
them in advance in case the
winds toppled a few trees
changing the path of the deer.
You may also be surprised to
find newly created water holes
to hunt over or obstacles block-
ing the viewfromyour stands or
ground blinds. The key is to get
out if you can and check your
hunting spots.
It is not too late to get the bow
out and practice. I would first
make sure the screws are all
tight and your string is in good
condition. I would also be sure
that your arrows are still in good
shape before hitting the archery
target. The next thing is prac-
tice, practice, practice. Be sure
you can hit the mark before
shooting at a deer.
There is one change to the
mentor hunting seasons that I
want to make sure you are aware
of. But first a little background.
Under the program, a mentor is
defined as a properly licensed
individual at least 21 years of
age, who will serve as a guide to
a youth while engaged in hunt-
ing or related activities, such as
scouting, learning firearms or
hunter safety and wildlife iden-
tification. A mentored youth is
identified as an unlicensed indi-
vidual less than 12 years of age
who is accompanied by a men-
tor while engaged in hunting or
related activities.
Mentored youth can partici-
pate during any established sea-
son for woodchucks (ground-
hogs), squirrels, spring gobbler,
coyotes and antlered and now
antlerless deer. They can also
take part in the general squirrel
season, spring gobbler season,
the junior-only squirrel season
(Oct. 9-15) and the junior-only
spring gobbler day (April 23).
For antlered deer, the men-
tored youth must use legal
sporting arms for that season;
for example, a bow or crossbow
must be used during archery an-
tlered deer season and they are
required to follow the same an-
tler restrictions as a junior li-
cense holder, which is one antler
of three or more inches in length
or one antler with at least two
points.
Whats newfor this year is the
ability for a mentor hunter to
shoot an antlerless deer. In order
to harvest an antlerless deer, an
adult mentor may transfer one
of his valid antlerless license to
an eligible mentored youth upon
the harvest of an antlerless deer,
and a mentored youth may only
receive one antlerless deer li-
cense each license year. The an-
tlerless deer license transferred
to the mentored youth must be
for the Wildlife Management
Unit in which the adult mentor
and youth are hunting.
The regulations require that
the mentor-to-mentored youth
ratio be one-to-one, and that the
pair possesses only one sporting
arm when hunting. While mov-
ing, the sporting arm must be
carried by the mentor. When the
pair reaches a stationary hunt-
ing location, the mentor may
turn over possession of the
sporting arm to the youth and
must keep the youth within
arms length at all times. All
other safety rules apply to both
hunters. I like the changes in
this law. I wish they had it when
I was growing up. Good luck
and be safe if youre going out.
Be sure to watch Pennsylva-
nia outdoor Life tonight at 6:30.
Well take you to a Tioga Coun-
ty lake for a bowand arrowcarp
hunting adventure.
Its tough to think about hunting season

They will be back next season, of course, but their 2011 season
has come to an end. Unfortunately for us, they will be going to
Lehigh Valley for at least the 2012 season.
The Yankees and Lackawanna County have decided to do some
much-needed renovations on PNC field. This is going to be a
refreshing change to the sorry looking stadium and a great idea
on their part.
With the Yankees temporarily away, a burning question should
come to mind to you. Have you missed out?
This past season the SWB Yankees have definitely under-
achieved. They missed the playoffs this season for the first time
under the Yankees name and they did it with, what I think, is the
best team theyve put together since theyve come to the Scran-
ton area.
They came into the season with a ton of promise. An all-
prospect starting rotation, their top hitting prospect in Jesus
Montero starting at catcher, and some veteran players to help
along the way. How could they not finish on top again?
It seemed to me, even though the team was so good, they just
never gelled together. They never had that chemistry it takes to
win. Even after the games in the clubhouse, whether they won or
lost, it was for the most part quiet. I definitely think that was a
huge reason why they didnt live up to the potential that was
there.
I dont put the entire blame on them for the lack of chemistry
on the team, though. The New York Yankees had so many in-
juries to fill that the SWB roster was almost changing daily. Its
hard to establish chemistry when theres a new guy sitting next
you every other day.
Just because the team didnt win as much as it could have
doesnt mean it still wasnt worth going out for the games. The
team had its share of highlights this season.
Jorge Vazquez set a new SWB franchise record for homeruns
in the regular season with 32.
Jesus Montero was the starting catcher all season up until Sep-
tember 1st. He is expected to be a Major League superstar. Hes
now getting a lot of playing time at the MLB level and he is doing
very well.
SWB has also seen a handful of Major League players rehab-
bing from injuries including Phil Coke, Magglio Ordonez, Del-
mon Young, Freddy Garcia, Raphael Soriano, and of course Alex
Rodriguez.
There were plenty of reasons to come out and watch the SWB
Yankees and there will be in the future too.
They should have most of their pitching prospects returning
next season. Brandon Laird will be back refining his game, but
he could be called up sometime next year. The most interesting
part of next year, though, will be top pitching prospects Manny
Banuelos and Dellin Betances in their first full Triple-A season.
Hopefully you havent missed out on this season but even if
you have, the SWB Yankees will be back in a year or two and,
with a new stadium and great prospects, theyll be better than
ever.

SWB Yankees appeared in The Dispatch through the 2011 season.

Special for The Dispatch
see, PA Head Coach Mike Bar-
rett said. Defensively we were
very poor. We didnt tackle very
well at all. They had some great
athletes.
Justin Wilk continued his con-
sistencyinthe backfield, bytrav-
eling four yards into the end
zone. The Patriots decided to go
for the two point conversion and
it proved to be the right choice.
Schwab found freshman Kyle
Gattuso in the back corner of the
end zone. The Comet lead was
now 35-15.
Crestwood responded as Nick
Powell went on a 46-yard jaunt
widening the gap to 42-15 with
6:25 remaining in the third quar-
ter.
Aigeldinger then added his
second rushing touchdown of
the night extending the Comets
lead to 48-15 with 2:00 left in the
third. The extra point was mis-
sed wide right.
The Patriots answered with a
touchdown of their own just one
minute later.
Gattuso broke loose for 46
yards and Wilk finished the
drive with a 13-yard touchdown
run. Schwab again completed
the two-point conversion. This
time, he found Joe Starinsky in
the corner of the end zone to get
PA within 48-23.
Marc Romanczuck found the
end zone for the first time in the
game with 4:26 remaining after
Crestwood went ahead 54-23.
He pounded his way through the
Comets line for the one-yard
score. Schwab made it a perfect
3-for-3 on two-point conver-
sions when he found Evan Hahn
in the back of the end zone to
close the scoring at 54-31.
Gattuso was the bright spot on
the Patriots offense. He rushed
nine times for 106 yards, includ-
ing big gains of 21 yards, 46
yards and 11 yards.
He had a heck of a game, hes
going to be alright, Barrett said.
He is a young kid with a very
bright future and we moved the
ball up and down the field in the
second half.
Jordan Houseman led the re-
ceiving core with four catches
for 54 yards but left the game in
the second half with an arm in-
jury. Houseman had ice on his
forearm on the sidelines but
Barrett didnt believe the injury
was serious.
He took a pretty hard hit,
Barrett said. Then in the second
half he came down on it and
might have hyper-extended it a
bit, but I thinkhe will be alright.
The schedule doesnt get any
easier on Friday night when Pitt-
ston Area hosts Dallas on Friday
night at Charley Trippi Stadium.
They could have quit and
they didnt and thats what I
wanted to see, Barrett said. We
will get back on the board and
we will get ready for Dallas and
see how it goes,

have to do it alone.
I dont have a whole lot of
words to express my gratitude,
Naylor said. It was very heart-
felt and I amvery appreciative of
everything they did to help.
One of the many Pittston Area
football players who were there
to help was senior starting quar-
terback Anthony Schwab. He
compared the scenes of Duryea
to a war zone.
There was so much devasta-
tion in that area and it was heart-
breaking, said Schwab. I have
never seen anything like it and I
dont think any of my teammates
have either. It opened everyones
eyes right up.
Barrett gave the team the day
off on Saturday, but rather than
sit at home and watch college
football, they decided the right
thing to do was to go out and
help.
We had the day off, but we
wanted to help, Schwab said.
The whole team was at Coach
Naylors all day, trying to help
him and his family the best we
could. We cleaned and power
washed his garage. Then we
emptied his basement and
pumped all the water out.
Naylor wasnt the only mem-
ber of the team affected by the
flooding. Sophomore lineman
Mike Hughes and his family lost
much of their home in Duryea.
I feel awful for Mike, Barrett
said. I guess there were some
problems with the foundation,
but it sounds like they may be
able to fix it.
The Patriots didnt just help
people they knew, they helped as
many people in the Duryea area
as they could.
When we got there, we all
went door to door seeing howwe
can help, Schwab said. I have
never been more proud to be on
this teamthan I amright now. We
have a great group of guys and I
love every one of them.
In just his first year, Barrett
has gotten a grasp on these guys
and they seem to be responding
well to the new philosophy. Bar-
rett echoed the statements of his
senior quarterback.
They didnt complain once
all day and they worked with a
smile on their face, Barrett said.
Were starting a program here
and were off to a good start on
the field and off the field. I love
these guys.

his performance.
Lake-Lehman then got the
ball back on the six-yard line and
went three-and-out. The punt
snap went over the punters head
and out of the end zone for a
safety to give WA a 10-0 lead.
The Black Knights seemed as
if it they were going to make it a
competitive when tailback Nick
Shelley ran around the outside of
a Wyoming Area defender for a
22-yard touchdown to get Lake-
Lehman within 10-7.
On its next possession, Leh-
man knotted the score at 10-10 as
Novitski booted a 36-yard field
goal with 2:36 to go in the first
half.
Thats when the tide turned.
It took all of a minute for the
Warriors to drive down the field
and score on a perfectly thrown
ball by OBrien that went over
the shoulder of the defender and
into the hands of Justin Langdon
for a 29-yard touchdown pass.
The kickfailed, but WAhadreta-
ken the lead at 16-10 with 1:15
left in the second quarter.
Wyoming Area scored again
before the first half ended when
a Ryan Filipiak fumble recovery
set up a 3-yard Jeff Skursky
touchdown with 23 seconds left
in the first half. OBrien then
found Cody Schmitz in the end-
zone for the two-point pass, and
the Warriors went to the locker
room ahead 24-10.
OBrien immediately started
off the second half with a bang,
rushing for 35 yards in two plays
adding another touchdown on a
9-yard run just 30 seconds into
the third quarter for a 30-10 lead.
The shifty OBrien added two
more scores on the night on runs
two and six yards as the Warriors
pulledawayinthe fourthquarter.
Wyoming Area had a great
game on the defensive side of the
ball, holding the Black Knights
to just seven yards passing.
Freshman Marty Michaels high-
lighted the effort with an inter-
ception.
It was a refreshing perform-
ance by a defense that blewa late
lead in its first game of the sea-
son. Spencer said that after los-
ing a week worth of preparation
they were, hoping for the best.
We really have to put on the
throttle and not give up, said
Spencer on finishing games.
Just right from the outset we
wanted to put the foot on the
gas.
DispatchStaff Writer Rick No-
tari also contributed to this re-
port.
OBrien rushed for 218 yards, 4TD
The Valley with a Heart.
That is what was written on a
sign of one of the local flood vic-
tims of Wyoming Area and it
couldnt have been truer Friday
night when the Warriors took on
Lake Lehman.
In a 43-10 victory over the
Knights, the Warriors brought
back a little of the pride that the
WyomingAreacommunitylost in
the recent flooding.
It wasanimportant gamefor the
Warriors tobounce backafter giv-
ing up the lead late in their first
game but it was also an important
and emotional game for the War-
rior fans, players, coaches, and
cheerleaders.
It was a big win for our pro-
gram coming off the last three
weeks with the flood, said
Wyoming Area Head Coach Ran-
dy Spencer.
It was the first school activity
since the flooding and it brought
out a full house in both bleachers.
The game was originally sup-
posed to be a home game for the
Warriors but becauseof thecondi-
tions of the field it was moved to
Lehman. Youcouldnt tell it wasin
Lehman though because the away
side of the field was packed with
green and gold.
The win was huge for Wyom-
ing Area because of everything
that happened with the flood and
the damage people had to their
homes,saidWAcheerleader Erin
Maloney. It gave everyone a
chance to get out and get every-
thing off of their mind and [the
win] was good because everyone
got to go home happy.
Despite many local residents
beingaffectedbythefloodtheyall
came out to show their support
andthe football teamdidnt disap-
point them. Just like last week the
Warriors jumped out to a big lead
but instead of faltering in the late
stages of the game they kept their
foot onthepeddleandkept control
of the game.
Wyoming Area QB Nick
OBrien came up big in a time
when his school and town needed
himthemost, leadingtheWarriors
with 218 yards rushing and four
touchdowns.
[This game] was big coming
off of the flood, said OBrien.
The loss in the first week was
heart breaking and it was good to
pull it off.
It was quite a performance for a
team that hadnt practiced in a
week. Instead of their usual reps
theWAfootball playersspent their
time helping people in their com-
munity clean up and rebuild ev-
erything they had lost. One victim
they helped was Coach Spencer.
I am proud of [the football
players] as students, friends, and
members of the community, said
Spencer.

Wyoming Seminary Lower
School is pleased to announce
the installation of "September
Grief" by local artist Kendal A.
Hancock. The sculpture is on a
long-term loan with the school
and serves as a tribute to the fire-
fighters that gave their lives on
September 11, 2001.
Hancock began sculpting and
welding professionally in 2002
and soon after was named to the
Allied Artist Association of
America. His work reflects a
range of artistic sensitivity and
craftsmanship using composi-
tion, movement and balance to
explore steel as a soft and warm
medium. The result is one-of-a-
kind creations that speak from
the heart.
"This is a tribute to not only
the firefighters that gave their
lives onSeptember 11, but it is al-
so a tribute to those that sur-
vived," said Hancock. "I created
this for them."
Trained in welding by his fa-
ther at the age of ten, Hancock
uses the technique to create steel
sculptures and art pedestals. He
has participated in the Manhat-
tan Arts Internationals "I Love
New York" competition and is a
member of the Allied Artist As-
sociation of America, the Audu-
bon Artist Inc. and the Texas So-
ciety of Sculptors.
