Standing near the Wyoming
Area sidelines Friday night in
an impeccably tailored sport
coat, wearing stylish glasses
and with perfectly coiffed short
gray hair, Mickey Calabrese
looked every bit the successful
New York City business exec-
utive that he is. What he didnt
look like was a football player.
But to the thousands who
cheered at the mention of his
name during a halftime cere-
mony honoring the champion-
ship Warrior team of 1971 and
thousands who saw him play 40
years ago this writer included
thats exactly what Mickey
Calabrese is, or at least was.
And I had a ringside seat for
every bit of it.
I was a 22 year old local
sportswriter back then and
photographer Kenny Feeney
and I were fixtures on the
Wyoming Area and Pittston
Area sidelines. Seeing Mickey
at the WA-PA game and after-
wards at the annual Ring of
Pride reception, for which I was
asked to serve as toastmaster,
brought a host of memories of
those nights starting with a
game when Mickey was a ju-
nior and an incident that took
place not far from where he and
I chatted Friday night.
Mickey wasnt a starter on
that 1970 team but in the sec-
ond half of the opening game
of the season against GAR,
Coach Tom Vaxmonsky told
him to strap on his helmet be-
cause he was going in the next
time the Warriors had the ball.
That gave Mickey just enough
time to trot over to where Ken-
ny and I were standing and say
get your camera ready, Im
going in and Im going to score
a touchdown.
And thats what he did. On
the very first play.
I told that story at the recep-
tion Friday night adding that if
memory served me correctly it
was about a 45 yard run. Fifty-
seven, Mickey said quietly
from where he was sitting with
some former teammates, re-
vealing the slightest hint of the
brashness that marked his high
school football career.
Mickey approached me on
the sidelines another time with
a suggestion. I need a nick-
name, he said, Im thinking
The Breese.
The nickname stuck with
some people but having seen
him play so often I always
thought The Tornado was
more appropriate.
Mickey asked me Friday
night if I remember him and the
boys stopping by for a paper on
Saturday nights. How could I
forget? The Dispatch presses
ran about midnight or so, and
Mickey and some of his team-
mates, heading home after
dates or what have you, would
stop in for a copy hot off the
presses. They were interested
in only one thing, of course, the
write-up on the Warrior game.
Some of you may know that
Mickey was in a taxi on his way
to work at AON Risk Services
with offices on floors 98 to 105
in Two World Trade Center on
Sept. 11, 2001. AON lost 175
employees that day, about a
third of whom Mickey knew.
Another player on that 1971
Warrior team holds a dear place
in my heart. I began writing
sports fresh out of high school
in the summer of 1967. My first
live assignment was to cover
a Little League district cham-
pionship game in Tunkhannock.
The local team from the
Wyoming-West Wyoming Little
League won the game behind
the pitching of a skinny kid in
professorial type glasses. His
name was Donnie McDermott.
Donnie quarterbacked the 71
WA football team and is con-
sidered by many Wyoming
Area alumni the greatest all-
around athlete ever to wear the
Green and Gold. And some say
the second greatest was his
younger brother Charlie.
I mentioned the Ring of
Pride earlier. Thats a hall of
fame of sorts of former Wyom-
ing Area football players. It was
started and is kept alive by a
guy a bit younger but no less
intense than the players on that
71 team. Lou Bikes Ciampi
played for the 80 Warriors and
is arguably the teams most
enthusiastic alumnus.
The annual Ring of Pride
ceremony and reception is a lot
of work which Lou takes on
willingly and lovingly. But no
one would have been upset had
he taken this year off. The place
where Lou earns his living
Independent Graphics, a print-
ing firm he runs with his father
and brother was completely
wiped out by the recent flood.
As the saying goes, Lou has a
lot on his plate right now. But
he told me that only made this
years Ring of Pride more
important.
You know that book Every-
thing I Needed to Know I
Learned in Kindergarten? he
said before the game Friday
night. Well, everything I need
to know, I learned right there on
the Wyoming Area football
field. Those things sustain me
in good times and in bad.
You cant help but get the
feeling all those former War-
riors heartily agree.

When Joann Kwasny retired
from the Social Security office
in Wilkes-Barre her co-workers
suggested she set up a little table
and sewing machine in a corner
of the office.
They were kidding, but the
joke illustrates howmuchher co-
workers appreciated the quality
of the alterations Joann did for
them at home with her sewing
machine. But Joann doesnt do
alterations much anymore.
These days shes making quilts
like to 80 x 100-inch, pineapple
pattern quilt she made for a raffle
at St. Monicas Church.
The quilt is of such quality it
would probably have a retail val-
ue of $1,000, if one could be
foundtobuy. Quilts canbe found
in department stores, but finding
a quilt the quality of the one
Joannmade for the churchwould
require a trip to Lancaster Coun-
ty for an Amish-made quilt.
The raffle for the quilt is next
Sunday, Nov. 13. Tickets can be
purchased today after Masses at
both St. Josephs site and the Our
Lady of Sorrows site or from ei-
ther Tom Tomsak (237-2188) or
Joann (283-3388.) Tickets are
$5.00 each or 3 for $10.00.
Joann said shes been sewing
since she was a kidgrowingupin
Swoyersville. My mother made
things for me, and then I picked
up on it myself. Since I was a kid
always had my own sewing ma-
chine, Joann said.
She took up quilt making 15
years ago, teaching herself
through Eleanor Burns books.
Burns, a sort of quilt guru, had a
TV show on PBS for a while,
where she described herself as
Still stripping after all these
years.
It was a little joke about the
quilt making method which re-
quires ripping strips of fabric in-
to strips to use in the quilt pat-
terns. Its like putting together a
puzzle, Joann said. It takes
precision. Each little strip of fab-
ric thats put together has to be
perfect or it wont fit together.
She began quilting making 8 x
12 wall hangings that are known
as counted cross-stitch samplers.
I picked up a kit to do 12 differ-
ent quilt samplers. It tooksolong
I decided making one big quilt
wouldnt take as long.
She estimates shes made 50
quilts, many of them smaller
lap or baby quilts which she
gave away as gifts.
So why did she decide to make
the large quilt for the raffle?
I always wanted to do some-
thing for the church, she said

AMVET of the Year Richard
White would do a stand-up rou-
tine at the Pittston Senior Center
if he could stand up. White, 72,
is in a wheelchair most of the day
with bad knees. But the chair
doesnt stop him from entertain-
ing the seniors at the center,
whenhe canget there, withlight-
heartedstories andjokes, like the
one about how he met and mar-
ried his wife Virginia Lemongel-
li.
In the early 1960s after he got
out of the Navy, as he tells it, he
was in New Jersey working for a
resort when a friend and co-
worker invited him to Pittston,
where the friend lived. They
went to Ardos Bar, where he met
Virginia, the niece of the bar
owners. White picks upthe story.
She proposed to me. When I
went to the Italian club with her
father and found out they had 5
cent beers I accepted the propos-
al.
White loves joking, but his re-
al passion is the Navy, the mil-
itary in general and Veterans.
He doesnt get around as much
as he used to, but come Friday,
Veterans Day, White will be at-
tending some Veterans Day
events, including one at the Du-
pont VFW Post 4909. Hes a life
member of American Legion
Post 477 and AMVETS Post
189, where he reigns as the Penn-
sylvania AMVET of the Year.
White was selected AMVET
of the Year at the organizations
state banquet at Four Points
Sheraton Hotel in Greensburg
during the summer. He said he
didnt knowuntil the moment he
was announced. I was shocked
and honored when they called
my name, he said.
Whites work ethic for Veter-
ans causes made it easy on the
committee that selected him. He
chaired the AMVETS change of
Command Ceremony, Family
Picnic and awards program and
Christmas party, making sure
that Vets from the VA hospital
nursing home and Geno Merli
center were invitedandgot there.
He was a leader among Clover
Program ticket sales, helped es-
tablish an AMVETS Ladies
Auxiliary and Sons and AM-
VETS Squadron at Post 189, and
worked on the Americanism
Program, an essay contest for
high schools students. He spoke
at Veterans Day, Pearl Harbor
and Memorial Day ceremonies.
White also got a flag pole for
the YMCA. He found the pole
one dayinthe summer of 2010he
was sitting in the institute of
learning, as he calls Burger
King, watching workers prepare
todemolishthe oldstate employ-
ment building across Kennedy
Boulevard, when he noticed
something most people might
have missed: a flagpole ontopof
the building.
He also was aware of some-
thing most people never thought
of: the Greater Pittston YMCA
did not have a flag pole.
In short order, thanks to White
and the AMVETS chapter, the Y
was flying Old Glory.
Once White decided the flag
atop the doomed building might
be saved and given to the Y, he
called Pittston Redevelopment
Office Director Jerry Mullarkey,
who in turn talked to the contrac-
tor, who salvaged the pole. Rep.
Mike Carroll got a flag. With the
help of the city fire department
and its bucket truck, YMCA
property manager Brian Fallon
mounted the pole over the front
entrance and Charlie Barone

Your Singular
Independent Candidate
For 60 years Frank Lewicki
didnt think about his World War
II experiences. But last month in
a ceremony at the Dupont VFW
when Senator Robert Casey pre-
sented him with the Bronze Star
he had earned 60 years ago in the
Pacific Theater, the memories
flooded back in vivid detail.
Lewicki, 86, volunteered for
induction on his 18th birthday in
August of1943. Amonthlater he
was sent to Camp Wolters, Tex-
as, for 17 weeks basic training as
an infantryman.
After a week furlough back
home in Plains, he reported to
San Francisco, and then shipped
out with the182nd infantry to
New Caledonia, an archipelago
in the Western Pacific east of
Australia which was a staging
depot infantry replacements
heading to the Philippines. The
182nd was part of the Americal
Division, famed for assaulting
the Japanese at Guadalcanal in
one of the bloodiest battles of the
Pacific Theater.
In January of 1944 Lewickis
unit was sent to Bougainville Is-
land to relieve troops there.
Though the Americans had tak-
en Bougainville, there were ex-
tensive mop-up operations that
had to be conducted. The island
was secure, but Lewicki went on
patrol missions looking for
pockets of Japanese soldiers. He
did the same thing at Leyte Is-
land which the Americans invad-
ed in October of 1944 precipitat-
ing the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the
largest naval battle of WWII.
They were clean up oper-
ations, Lewicki said. It sounds
easy, but it was pretty bad.
Lewicki nearly avoided com-
bat duty. The Army issued an or-
der that no soldier under 19 was
to be sent into combat. The order
came just after Lewickis birth-
day.
After they secured Bougain-
ville and Leyte, Lewicki and his
unit were sent to establish a
beachhead at Cebu Island in the
central Philippines which Gen-
eral MacArthur wanted as a vital
staging point for what was then
seen as the inevitable invasion of
the Japanese mainland, an inva-
sion in which Lewicki would
have been in the first assault.
It was while he was training
for the Japanese invasion in Au-
gust of 1945, that the Americans
dropped the atomic bombs on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You
never sawa happier group of sol-
diers in all your life, Lewicki
said. Because we knew some-
thing important was coming. We
were firing guns to celebrate.
The something important was
Japans surrender on August 15.
Lewicki wound up in Japan after
all, but not under fire. When the
surrender ceremony was held on
September 2 aboard the U.S. bat-
tleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay,
Lewicki was there ona troopcar-
rier.
Right after it was signed we
disembarked for occupation, he
said.
Tokyo was destroyed. The
only thing standing was chim-
neys. The bombers were selec-
tive, though. They left the Impe-
rial grounds untouched and the
electric rail line untouched be-
cause they knew wed need
them.
At the medal presentation for Frank Lewicki are, first row, Diane McKittrick, the honoree's daughter; Anne and FrankLewicki; Jerry Gurnari, service officer; John Phillips,
chaplain; and David L. Burrier, commander. Second row: Ed Struck; Eddie Zielinski, quartermaster; SamGuarnieri, trustee; John Kunicki; Joe O'Hara, adjutant; James

Dinner 5:00 - 8:00pm

Continuing Tradition
GRICOS ANNUAL $9.95
TURKEY DAY DINNER
F
rank Brosso has been a
barber for 50 years. In a
marriage, thats a gold-
en anniversary, worthy of a
major celebration
But Frank, an easy-going
guy, isnt planning anything
particularly special.
Hes going
to continue to
cut hair with
his shears and
scissors, giv-
ing the
straight shave
around the
ears and up
the back of the
neck with a
steady hand.
Its his man-
tra of life and
thats the way
he prefers it.
Imnot go-
ing to celebrate, Brosso said.
Im going to celebrate my
birthday. But Im just going to
keep cutting hair.
Having just celebrated his
69th birthday, Brosso is still
the same fine-spirited man as
ever, never growing weary
through seasoning, but rather
more livelyandmore good-na-
tured with age.
I havent changed much,
he said. Ive seen a lot of
things, but I havent changed.
Besides cuttinghair for a liv-
ing, Brosso is community-
minded.
Four years ago, he was elect-
ed to Duryea Borough Coun-
cil. Many years ago, he helped
start junior football in Duryea,
and, for a time, he servedas the
treasurer of Duryea Little
League baseball.
As his term as councilman
comes to an end, Brosso main-
tains his devotion to his busi-
ness as a barber.
We have a good time here,
we laugh a lot, he said. May-
be too much.
Brosso was born in West
Pittston. He developed his de-
votion to barbering behind the
mentorship of two of his un-
cles back in 1961.
That was a time when a hair-
cut would cost 90 cents and the
tips were dimes, he recalled.
However, times did change,
and with that, so did costs, lo-
cations and trends. From the
craze of The Beatles to the
long hair of the hippie move-
ment, from the prevalence of
beauty salons to the ensuing
rarity of true barbers, Frank
has seen it all.
For some locals and natives,
he has cut their grandchil-
drens hair, their childrens hair
and their own hair when they
were young themselves.
Ive been doing it for so
many years and Im comfort-
able, he explained. I still
have a lot of my old customers
and I think its a tribute that
they come here. I have guys
coming here for 50 years.
Brosso is grateful.
I just thank God that Ive
made it this long in this busi-
ness, he said.
He said he has no plans of
slowing down any time soon.

Back in July when Pittston
City council passed an ordi-
nance to put a home rule study
question on the November bal-
lot questions popped up. If Pitt-
ston becomes a home rule city
what will that mean for the
street department, the fire de-
partment, the method of taxa-
tion or even the very structure
of the city government?
But those questions are way
too premature according to city
manager Joe Moskovitz.
Its important for the voters
to realize this is just a vote for a
study. Its not a vote for home
rule. Whats the harm in having
a study?
Whether to have that study or
not will be up to the voters on
Tuesday when voters will find a
question on the ballot asking
them if they want to approve or
deny a home rule study and
asking them to elect a slate of
seven candidates to serve on the
study commission.
The question will read:
Shall a government study
commission of seven members
be elected to study the existing
form of government of the City
of Pittston, to
consider the ad-
visability of the
adoption of a
home rule char-
ter; and if ad-
visable, to draft
and to recom-
mend a home
rule charter?
The nine can-
didates, who
successfully cir-
culated pet-
itions, for the
seven seats on
the non-partisan commission
include Mayor Jason C. Klush,
city councilman Joseph Cher-
nouskas, former mayor Michael
A. Lombardo, Benjamin P.
Tielle Jr., Barb Zangre, Ginger
Murphy, Frank Sheperis, Art
Bobbouine and Fred Stuccio.
Moskovitz said the city ad-
ministration hopes the voters
will approve the study.
Were just asking the voters
to be open-minded. Why not
have a look at a form of govern-
ment that hasnt changed since
1850s. If the study passes then
we can get into the substance of
what a new form of government
might be like and the voters can
have the final say.
One way home rule is de-
scribed is to say local govern-
ments without home rule can
only act where specifically au-
thorized by state law, while
home rule municipalities can
act anywhere except where they
are specifically limited by state
law.
While there
could be other
ramifications of
home rule, an im-
portant aspect is
under it the city
can address the
problem of high
real estate taxes,
which at 6.85
mills are the high-
est by millage in
the county.
A lot of resi-
dents believe the
high real estate tax is unfair to
senior citizen home owners on
fixed incomes who are a large
segment of the citys popula-
tion.
Home rule would help those
seniors by allowing the city to
raise the income tax rate to off-
set the real estate rate.
Under one scenario of home
rule the city would double the
earned income tax from .5 per-
cent to 1 percent which would
bring in $600,000 above the re-
al estate revenue of about $2
million.
In the first year the city
would not lower the real estate
taxes giving the city its first
surplus in decades.
Then in the second year the
city could begin phasing in a
lowering real estate taxes. Un-
der that plan the wage earners
whose income tax went up
would see a reduction in their
real estate taxes along with all
other property owners.
But everything is speculation
unless the voters approve the
study commission and then ap-
prove of the charter the com-
mission creates, a process
which could take until May or
even next November.
There is a link to home rule
information on the citys web-
site at www.pittstoncity.org.

NOVEMBER SPECIALS
A book of cemetery photos
would be dark, foreboding, de-
pressing, gothic and scary, right?
Not Final Thoughts by West
Pittston resident John Grant.
Yes they speak of death, but
they also speak of life, Grant
said of the photos in his book.
Some people look at cemeteries
as parks or museums as they did
in the early 1900s. Some look at
cemeteries as creepy. I look at
cemeteries as somebodys
home.
Final Thoughts is published
by Schiffer Publishing Ltd. It
was released last month. The
large format 11 x 8/12 hard-
cover book contains 170 photos
and epitaphs fromcemeteries up
to 300 years old largely in New
York and New England.
Though the book as been out
only a month it is an unqualified
success among Taphophiles
lovers of cemeteries genealo-
gists, cemetery preservationists,
lovers of what is known as cem
art, as well as fans of coffee table
style art books.
Fifteen rave reviews on ama-
zon.com attest to that.
So how did Grant -- admitted-
ly a man who as little as seven
years ago had no interest in cem-
eteries or photography come to
this?
While working at Ellis Island
after a 20-year career in the mu-
sic business, Grant got interested
in genealogy. That led him to
cemeteries lookingfor his ances-
tors. He was 51 at the time.
I didnt know anything about
cemeteries, he said. I bought a
little 3.2 Olympus to take pic-
tures of stones for a family tree,
in fact 30 percent of book was
shot on that little camera and you
cant tell difference fromthe12.4
meg, D-300 Nikon photos.
Grant, who lived in New York
City for years, said spending
time in the cemeteries stirred
emotions in him. I noticed
calm, peace, and comfort.
Soon he was traveling to cem-
eteries and taking photos. He
created a web gallery and it took
off. He got an astonishing
200,000 hits.
I built a little gallery online
and people stared showing up
from around the world.
When a friend suggested a
book, Grant considered hiring an
agent or self-publishing, but then
Schiffer contacted him. They
were familiar with his work and
wanted to publish a book.
Problem solved.
He got one of his fans -- Lisa
Lewis of West Pittston, AKAthe
Victoriana Lady to help him
choose photographs and design
the book.
In May of 2010 he went to the
Greenwood Cemetery in Brook-
lyn to meet Doug Keister an au-
thor of 37 books including Sto-
ries in Tone a cemetery refer-
ence or guide book, a sort of a
bible for Taphophiles. Keister
agreed to write a forward for Fi-
nal Thoughts.
Grant also met Lisa Lewis that
day and in September he moved
in with her in West Pittston,
where they are life partners and
business partners in a company
they call the Passion Project. Li-
sa is working on books about
Steam Punk and Victorian fash-
ions. John is working on a book
of Civil War letters.
Final Thoughts also contains
epitaphs, many of them poems,
like this verse from a poem
which1865whichaccompanies a
photo of a weather-worn ceme-
tery statue of a Union Civil War
Solider:
No more the bugle calls the
weary one.
Rest noble spirit, in they grave
unknown.
Ill find you and know you
among the good and true,
when a robe of white is given
for the faded coat of blue.
OnSaturday, November12Le-
wis and Grant will be presenting
AChocolate Lovers Tea at the
Frederick Stegmaier Mansion at
304 South Franklin Street. A va-
riety of chocolate pastries will be
served prepared by the Man-
sions Executive Chef and for-
mer Head Chef Chocolatier for
Godiva, Jody Klocko.
Grant will sign copies of Final
Thoughts at the event.
By reservation only call 655-
8392.
The thoughts are final, but the book is a beginning

The Greater Pittston Food
Pantry had a birthday last month,
but the volunteers didnt do
much celebrating. They were too
busy getting food ready for dis-
tribution.
The pantry in the old Seton
Catholic high school building on
William Street, Pittston, was a
whirlwind of activity last
Wednesday as volunteers in the
storage room sorted donated
food and packed the items ap-
propriately for families, individ-
uals and even for diabetic recip-
ients, while other volunteers
moved the finished packages to
the distribution area. The volun-
teers stopped their work only
long enough to pose for a pho-
tograph. Pantry coordinator Peg-
gy Burke said the pantry has dis-
tributed 22,221 bags of food
since its opening three years ago.
The pantry is sponsored by the
Care and Concern Ministries of the Parish Community of St. John the Evangelist.

Some owners of flooded homes believe
they are victims of price gouging by
contractors. They might say they can
prove they are being price gouged by con-
tractors theyve used before because they
know what the contractor charged in the
past for similar work.
Not to say there isnt gouging going on,
but is the higher than normal cost of con-
tracting after a flood necessarily the result
of gouging or does supply and demand
play a part?
In Pennsylvania price gouging has a
specific meaning setting prices for
goods and services which are uncon-
scionably excessive in response to a di-
saster. And, as such, it is illegal.
The term unconscionably excessive
comes fromPennsylvania lawwhich says
it is illegal to: sell the goods or services
within the geographic region that is the
subject of the declared emergency for an
amount which represents an unconscion-
ably excessive price.
The lawspells out what unconscionably
excessive means: a price is unconscion-
ably excessive if, during and within 30
days of the termination of a state of disas-
ter emergency, parties within the chain of
distribution charge a price that exceeds
an amount equal to or in excess of 20%of
the average price at which the same or
similar consumer goods or services were
obtainable in the affected area during the
last seven days before the disaster.
The legislature came upwith20%. That
sounds arbitrary, but it does show that the
legislators realized prices for services, in-
cluding contracting, after a disaster will
necessarily rise because of supply and de-
mand.
Never before have1000 homeowners in
West Pittston, to use a rough example,
sought to hire contractors at the same
time. But the supply of contractors is lim-
ited, so the price goes up.
Lets say a small paint contractor who
typically works with only one or two em-
ployees suddenly finds himself, because
of flood damage, besieged with proposals
for contracts, including from people hes
worked for before. The painter cant bid
as low as he did in the past because the
more jobs he takes the more his expenses
rise.
Depending on the workload he may
have tohire more workers. He mayhave to
rent or buy a truck, ladders, rollers, brush-
es.
And, because the disaster might inte-
rupt the supply chain, the painter is likely
to find his price for labor and eqipment is
higher than before the disaster.
Is it gouging or
supply/demand?
On behalf of the residents, staff, and Little Sisters of the Poor
at Holy Family Residence, I would like to thank for publicizing
our recent roast beef dinner honoring Bill Gerrity and the late
Harold Jordan.
The positive publicity, which you provided for us prior to the
dinner, increased awareness about the event and helped us to sell
over 900 dinners.
The money raised fromthe dinner will be used to help us pro-
vide support, meals, and activities for the residents entrusted to
our care at Holy Family Residence. With the rising cost of health
care, it is challenging to meet our operating expenses. But with
the help of friends like you and the good people of Northeastern
Pennsylvania, we can do it.
May God bless you.
Sincerely,
Sister Maureen Weiss, lsp
Little Sister of the Poor

Councilman Rick Turner deserves thanks for all the positive
things he has done for Exeter during his years in office. He over-
sees the front of the town hall, especially the Veterans Monu-
ments.
He sees to it that the bushes and flags are in immaculate shape
and that the flags are properly displayed.
After the flood both Turner and councilman Murawski put in
many volunteer hours at the Jewish Cemetery seeing that it was
cleaned of flood debris and mud. They made sure the cemetery
was accessible.

Right in time for Halloween, unbeknownst to
me, Ive apparently donned the mask of the Crypt
Keeper. Except its not a mask. Thats rightIm
nowolder than dirt. Older than Hugh Hefner, Phyl-
lis Diller and Betty White. And, quite frankly, Be-
tty looks better than me these days.
What the heck? Ima startled that its come on so
suddenly. I realize Imalmost 50, but I pretend Im
not.and pretense is half trueright? So when
Im brought back to the present, where tight skin
and lucid thoughts have taken a siesta, I become
rattled.
Two weeks ago, we WPLibrarians attended a ga-
la affair at the stadium called Flood Fest. I was sit-
ting with my co-workers and chatting someones
ear off as per usual. When I interrupted a conversa-
tion in front of me, my church friend, who shall
remain nameless, but totally knows who he is, said
to me: Hey! I was talking to your daughter here
Silence.
I looked left. I looked right. I looked behind me
and I craned my crepe-like neck 180 degrees. No
daughter. No blood relatives, at all, to be found.
What the hell was he talking about? To clear up my
obvious muddled confusion he pointed to Anne,
our Library Director and said, You know. Your
daughter.
Silence. I gritted teeth, which is dicey at my age.
They may turn to dust.
Thats. Not. My. Daughter.
Anne, naturally, basked in this assertion, more
than words can express. I did not.
My daughter! My daughter??? Are you crazy?
Shes my boss! I would have had to have had her at
14 if shes my daughter! This is not Appalachia cir-
ca 1923, for Gods sake! I did not have a baby at
14!!!
I took my deflated, Flood Fest good time and
slithered out of that stadiumand directly to CVS. I
bought any Retinol products that I could yank off
the shelf, but only the ones for which I had a cou-
pon. Imold and Imcheap. I slathered on the Olay
Under Eye Treatment followed by a nice Glycolic
peel, followed by a side order of almond scrub con-
taining peptideswhich I pray to God has nothing
to do with birth control. It just sounds like it might.
I felt better the next day.
Until I didnt.
Later that week, I was growing and fertilizing
stones of the kidney sort. I looked like a bowl of
mashed potatoes. Just nasty. It was also the week of
the librarys grand-temporary-re-opening. And,
with that, came publicity. And, with that, came the
newspaper reporters, and the TV stations. And,
there was no damn bookshelf hefty enough behind
which I could hide.
I didnt know what I looked like until I saw my-
self in the newspaper. Obviously, I was under the
impression it was ugly sweater day that day, but I
was evidentlythe onlyone whoreceivedthe memo.
When you are passing a stone, followed by a
friendly neighborhood UTI, just leave the oatmeal-
colored sweater at home, people. Why? Because
you become one with the sweater.
Upon seeing this photo, I looked like my grand-
mother, and my hair, sweater, wall and the murky
whites of myeyes were all the same hue: the Crayo-
la color called Blech. You would use this shade to
color-in, say a cement sidewalk, in your Shrek and
Friends coloring book. Alsowhen the hell did I
adapt the posture of a hump-backed whale? When?
I could not believe this photo. If my name wasnt
right there under my caricature I would swear I was
looking directly into the eyes of Eleanor Roosevelt.
But I did pass that stupid stone the following day. I
wanted to save that little piece of gravel, put it on
the desk at the library with a sign that read: See?
This is why I looked like doody yesterday!
The following day, I felt better and applied extra
blush and eyelinerjust in case of another Kami-
kaze media attack. The news trucks indeed arrived
and I gave a little interview and felt I did an ade-
quate job.
Fast forward to the 7:00 news. I tuned-in and
murmured to myself: Welllook at thattheyre
interviewing some old fart with bad hair whos
wearing the very same shirt I wore to work today
andcrap. Its me, Bea Arthur.
What happened? I primped for Gods sake! I re-
played this segment nine times and each time I
played it back my jowls were swinging to and fro
more ferociously each timelike the sails of the
Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria! I was looking
at the camera, but my jowls were waving to the
folks back home.
Youd think there was no making me feel any
worse, wouldnt you? Well, so did I. Until yester-
day, when I was I was walking labored laps around
the stadium. An old friend jogged up to me to chat.
He looked down at my legs, What is that? he
asked, pointing to my ankle. Squinting, he said;
Oh! You got a tattoo! What is it a tattoo of?
I glared: Oh, that? Thats a tattoo of a cluster of
spider veins, you moron. And I tottered away as
fast as my icky, veined, stumpy, wrinkled old tree
stumps would carry me.
Im old. Ive never felt it more than this last
month. My husband is the same damn age as I, so
why does no one ever make him feel like anyones
father? But more importantly, if they did, he just
wouldnt give a flying turd. Sure, hes lost a little
hair (and Ive found it making a nest on my up-
per lip), but he just goes through his days oblivious
and un-self-aware.
Whenhe turns 50I guarantee he will not have the
same reaction as I will on my 50th birthday. Hell
go golfing, and I will sell a kidney, with or without
stones, for an adomnioplasty, vein removal and
enough Botox to sink the Nina, the Pinta and the
Santa Maria. Take that, Betty.
MOTHERS DAZE
by Maria Jiunta Heck
Aging (dis) gracefully
Fortunately, Maria Heck has just enough left in that
old body to write her column which appears in this
space every other week.
If this Thanksgiving is the first time you are roasting a turkey, or
just the annual roast, its important to be food safe.
Some folks like a fresh turkey and others frozen. Some of us, as I
have been, save those grocery store points to get our free frozen tur-
key.
If you decide at the last minute to roast a turkey purchase a fresh
one, but if you are starting with a frozen turkey youll have to thawit.
Not only do you need to have the additional room in the refrigerator,
but you need to purchase the needed amount of turkey at least one
week before Thanksgiving. A rule of thumb for purchasing a whole
turkey is to buy a pound of turkey per person. So if you are having12
people, buy at least a twelve pounder. If you like leftover turkey for
sandwiches, adjust accordingly.
Thawinga turkeyinrunningwater inthe sinkor worse onthe coun-
ter is a disaster waiting to happen. These practices are not recom-
mended. Some may say that they have never have gotten sick and
have thawedturkeys this waybefore, but theres always a first time, so
follow safe food handling rules.
Food safety experts recommend defrosting a turkey in the refriger-
ator. It takes approximately one day to defrost five pounds of meat.
So if you have a 20 pound turkey, it will take a minimumof four days
to defrost. Plan on longer. If you do not have roomin the refrigerator
for that size turkey, maybe a 5-pound turkey breast would be a better
selection.
Check your oven temperature. Experts recommend roasting a tur-
key at 325, no lower. Use an oven thermometer to ensure that your
oven is working properly at least three days before Thanksgiving.
Bake stuffing separately fromthe turkey. Most of us cook sausage
first and then add it as an ingredient to the stuffing. This raises the
internal temperature of the bird. Bacteria could begin to growbefore
the internal temperature reaches the safe level of 165.
Remove the turkey from the oven when it reaches 165. How do
you find out what the temperature is? Insert a chefs or bimetallic
thermometer in the thickest portion of the bird without touching the
bone. If you do not have a chefs or bimetallic thermometer you
should buy one when buy your turkey.
Carve and enjoy the turkey within1hour. Refrigerate any leftovers
with 2 hours from the time it was taken from the oven.
Here is a great recipe for Thanksgiving morning. It is an easy to
make bread that doesnt require a mixer.
Pumpkin Bread
2 large eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 teaspoon vanilla
11/2 cup white whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
1 tsp baking soda
Spray a loaf pan with nonfat cooking spray. In a medium bowl,
whish eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla and pumpkin until well combined.
In large bowl, sift together flour, spices and baking soda. Make a
well in center of mixture and add pumpkin. Add pumpkin mixture.
Mix just until moistened.

I watched in wonderment the fineness of the flakes and howgently
they fell to the ground that Saturday afternoon while observing the
first snowflakes of the noreaster that was expected. Who would have
thought two days before Halloween we would be immersed in snow?
Staring at the snow from my kitchen window my thoughts went
back in time watching the same occurrence from one of the LIU of-
fice windows. Myconcernat that time was howquicklythe snowwas
accumulating on the ground and the dread of driving home in the
snow and ice.
My co-worker and good friend Antoinette Dominick was watching
the same snowfall when I heard the excitement in her voice. I love
snow. Look at the houses and trees dont they look like theyre in a
snow globe?
Now each time I witness the first flakes begin to fall I am viewing
them in that light. This past snowfall was quite unusual for the au-
tumn golden leaves on the trees were gently mingled with the snow-
flakes as they gracefully danced together in a swirl to the ground. At
first the snowflakes disappeared but the leaves remained in a soggy
pile. As the day progressed and the snowfell and fell the leaves were
camouflaged in white. By twilight the branches on the trees where
heavilyoutlinedinwhite mingledwithspecks of silveryice that twin-
kled like diamonds. Winter wonderland came to mind.
Call it curiosity but I found myself looking out the kitchen window
often to note the depth of the snow. My eyes were drawn to a single
mourning dove looking for seeds in the snow. Howunusual I thought.
Mourning doves are seen in pairs. As the dove continued to peck
through the snowI knewit needed help. I immediately wcome to life
she would dance the waltz gracefully, compete in a 5K run, eat gobs
and gobs of ice creamwith the kids on the block and still look glam-
orous.
By Tuesday morning the snowhad melted except for sparse patch-
es, the sun was shining brightly, it was a beautiful day. Almost warm
enough for a picnic in the park. The calendar read November 1. No-
vember is a month of many remembrances including All Saints Day,
a holy day for Catholics and one to attend Mass.
November 2 was All Souls Day, a day for remembering those loved
ones whohave gone before us andwhohave markedus withtheir love
and amday for praying with visible and inward tears for the missing.
Many years ago, All Souls Day was a special day for children with
Sicilian parents. It was believed if you had been good during the year
relative souls would bring a doll made of granulated sugar painted in
bright colors and place it in your shoe. On All Souls Eve the shoes
were carefully placed beneath the bed. It was believed while we slept
the Souls came with the sugar dolls. Could you imagine the excite-
ment of finding a sugar doll the next morning?
Mydoll seemedtolast for months. Eachtime Papa sawme withthe
doll he would remind me it wasnt good for my teeth. The doll went
back on the shelf and so did my spirit.
Yet to come is Veterans Day on Friday, November 11th. Anational
holiday to honor veterans of all wars beginning with the early devel-
opment of our great country.
There can be no greater honor given to fallen patriots, Veterans and
those who serve today to protect America then to fly the American
Flag.
Fly it proudly and with respect. Remember as it unfolds and waves
in the breeze it a symbol of our country representing us as a people
who have stood and stand tall in our beliefs for freedom.

MARIA CAPOLARELLA-MONTANTE
YO U R O P I N I O N
As superintendent of the Wyoming Area School
District I find it necessary, with much reluctance,
to answer a political editorial that was written by
one of our board members, Frank Casarella, in his
endorsement of certain school board candidates. I
understand that this is normal behavior, this time of
year, on the part of politicians, being negative
and attacking fellow colleagues , however Mr. Ca-
sarella, in his desire to control the school board, has
made disparaging remarks against me, to which I
must respond.
Mr. Casarella stated I did not provide him with
information that he requested regarding heating
and lighting costs of the buildings, number of staff
and students and vacant classrooms.
The facts are that during the budget process Mr.
Casarella, along with all board members, received
comprehensive reports from our business agent,
the facilities director, administration and myself
relative to district revenues, expenditures, number
of staff, salaries, enrollment data, and operating
costs of the district, including a detailed analysis of
the operating costs of the Sarah J. Dymond Ele-
mentary.
In addition, monthly district expenditure reports
are included in board packets given to all board
members. Mr. Casarella had all the information he
needed to make a well-informed decision.
Wyoming Area is recognized as a premier dis-
trict in the county and throughout the state. Our
high PSSAscores, the top ranked colleges and uni-
versities that our students attend, our ranking in the
top 15% of over 500 school districts in the Com-
monwealth, and our state of the art technology re-
sources speaks for itself.
It is disappointing that a former teacher and ad-
ministrator of our district, now a board member,
would criticize these accomplishments in order to
gain what he calls a majority.
These are difficult times in education and diffi-
cult decisions need to be made. This is no time for
the myopic or shortsighted majority/ minority
board member mentality of Mr. Casarella.
As superintendent, it is my desire to work coop-
eratively with nine individuals , who will work as a
team, for a common causethe betterment of the
district and quality education for all of our stu-
dents.
Raymond Bernardi
Superintendent of Schools,
Wyoming Area School District
WA super says board must work as a team
I have entered into the race for the Wyoming Ar-
ea School Director as the only Independent Party
Candidate who has no political ideologies but to
serve with integrity and accountability.
I believe that my running mates, Dr. Estelle
Campenni, Mrs. Beth Gober-Mangan, and Mr.
Carl Yorina share these ideologies with me.
In the short time that I have been involved in the
race, I have noticed a change in communication
and behavior within the District.
I would like to see further improvement, and be-
lieve that my running mates and I can achieve this.
We look forward to serving you and your fam-
ilies, and making a good school district the best
school district.
Good luck to all Candidates.
Mary Louise Degnan, RN, BSN
Member of the A+ Ticket for Wyoming
Area School Board
WA board candidate says good luck to all candidates
This is in response to Frank
Casarellas negative letter imply-
ing that we have neglected to act
responsibly on behalf of the
Wyoming Area taxpayers.
We take great offense to this
statement by Mr. Casarella.
In our tenure as sitting board
members we have always made
our decisions based in the best
interest of students, always keep-
ing in mind our already overbur-
dened taxpayers.
We are sensitive to the tax-
payers of the community, thats
whywe votednotoa taxincrease
the last two years whereas Mr.
Casarella voted yes, increasing
your taxes.
Mr. Casarella states we have
not developed plans for renova-
tions of district facilities and we
have buildings in need of repair.
Over the years weve allocated
capital improvement money to
renovate and update facilities for
all of our students with the last
building currently scheduled for
renovation, Montgomery Ave-
nue Elementary.
In April 2011 the board voted
8-1 to approve submission of a
$2 million loan targeted for reno-
vations of this facility. Mr. Casa-
rella voted no against the reno-
vation.
As board members we stand
on our record and are proud of
our accomplishments. Wyoming
Area is ranked as one of the top
school districts in the county and
our per pupil costs are among the
lowest.
In these challenging times of
limited resources and escalating
health care costs, the answer for
our School District is in cutting
expenditures, not increasing tax-
es.
We humbly ask for your vote
to re-elect us to the Wyoming
Area School Board.

Question #1
In 1959, what did
Dupont native Ann
Blockus do that
helped gain the city
of Pittston statewide
attention?
1949 62 Years Ago
Eight hundred employees of the Num-
ber 6 Colliery, Inkerman were owed
approximately $300,000 in wages. After
shutting down operations in June of
1949, former owner, Jermyn Green Coal
Company sold the idle mine to Louis
Pagnotti owner of Number 9 Coal
Company. Pagnotti hoped to reopen the
mine and call the men back to work. But
union officials said no chance, until
back wages were paid. No agreement
was set between union and coal compa-
ny officials. Kehoe-Berge Coal Compa-
ny offered to pay the men in full.
Three members of the Eagle Hose
Company, Evan Griffith and William
J. Williamson of Pittston and William
J. Miller, West Pittston enjoyed the fire
companys clambake held at Harveys
Lake. The three men were the oldest
members of the hose company in attend-
ance. Williamson a coal trucker and
Miller, head of Keystone Roofing joined
the company in 1899, Griffith a retired
bartender joined in 1886. The men remi-
nisced of days when the hose company
operated with horse drawn carts and a
steamer pumper.
Members of the Clems Eagle Nine
team of Duryea were given the royal
treatment at a celebration hosted by
team sponsors Mr. and Mrs. Clem
Resavy. The Anthracite League baseball
team was made up of teens William
Williams, George Fedor, Vince Zin-
kavich, Tom Grogan, Eugene Busch,
Joe Cimakusky, Pete Cadden, George
Resavy, Joe Farrell, Cy Rickwaider, A
Gosser, Earl Matt, Don Cossman,
Curt Lambert, Bob Yesnowski, Bob
Slatsky, Clem Resavy Jr. and Peck
Pesotine. The team finished second in
the Valley House A.C.
Mr. and Mrs. Fetch owners of Fetchs
Bakeshop in West Pittston anxiously
waited along the Lions Club Halloween
parade route for the arrival of their deco-
rated horse-drawn float driven by their
son. As they watched the last float pass
with no sign of their wagon, they knew
something had gone wrong. Rushing
home, they found Young Teddy, who
explained he had desperately tried to get
the horse to pull the wagon, but was
unsuccessful. He finally gave up and
went home.
1959 52 Years Ago
The Old Boston Civic Club embarked
on a fundraising campaign that would
enable them to construct a community
building on the 450-acre site that made
up the Old Boston school grounds. The
structure was slated to serve as a youth
recreational center, site for church ser-
vices and meeting house.
In an article appearing regularly in the
Dispatch in 1959, local historian Char-
les A. McCarthy wrote, Prior to the
incorporation as a separate municipality,
a majority of the Freeholders of Pitt-
ston petitioned the Grand Jury on Janu-
ary 5, 1853 to incorporate part of Pitt-
ston Township as the Borough of Pitt-
ston. On April 11, 1853, Pittston was
declared a borough. According to histo-
ry.org At its birth, the United States
was not a democratic nation Being a
freeholder, or property owner, was a
requirement. Some colonies required a
voter to own land or personal property
of specified value, or pay a certain
amount of taxes. These requirements
delayed a male colonists entry into the
voter ranks until he was established.
This reflected the early belief that free-
holders, as property owners had a legiti-
mate interest in a communitys success
and well-being while totally excluding
women and minorities and people of
limited means.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, What is your favorite
home cooked meal?
Anthony Guasto of Port Griffith
answered, Spaghetti and meatballs,
grated cheese and a big chunk of home-
made pie. John Kepich of Old Forge
added, Steak and potatoes, cauliflower
cooked with bread crumbs and a dish of
fruit. James Fasciana of Pittston
stated, Antipasto, chicken and rice
soup, baked lasagna, and to top it all off,
a glass of Chianti.
1969 42 Years Ago
Mrs. Carlton Stauffer, president of
the West Pittston Womens Club an-
nounced that Mr. James Pietrangeli,
deputy director of Keystone Job Corp
Center for Women would speak at their
next meeting. The club supported the
center located in Drums as it assisted
many underprivileged women to become
self-supporting. The Economic Oppor-
tunity Act of 1964 established the Job
Corps offering remedial education and
job training. The act authorized the
establishment of corps centers. The Job
Corp Center in Drums is still helping
people today.
Charles Gostynski, Edward Levack,
Rev. Father Skurski and Edward Gre-
beck manned two large barbeque pits
for the annual St. Josephs Church
chicken barbeque. The men tended over
600 half chickens. The men of the
church, located in Port Griffith, built the
pits from cinder blocks and the home-
made barbeque sauce made the event
extra special and well-attended.
At Insalacos on Kennedy Boulevard,
pork chops sold for 99 cents per pound,
a carton of cello tomatoes sold for 25
cents. At Kresges,
North Main Street, Nestle Crunch,
Hershey and Baby Ruth bars sold for 3
cents apiece.
At a Saturday night homecoming
game with Tunkhannock, the Pittston
Area Homecoming Queen Nettie Mack
and her court Terry Soltis, Diana Ceb-
ula, Mary Jo Komensky and Angela
Fonzo began their reign for the 1969-
1970 school year.

1979 32 Years Ago
It wasnt played on Thanksgiving Day
but every one of the 7,000 fans that
attended the Pittston Area, Wyoming
Area rivalry game in 1979 claimed it as
the best one ever. It was the first time
in three years that the Patriots came out
on top 20 to 15. Pittston hit the score-
board first with a touchdown made by
quarterback Tony Burns with Robert
Bianco kicking the extra point. With
Wyoming Area taking the lead twice in
the game, Pittston area fought back in
the final quarter with Tom Nowakowski
pushing across the goal line from two
yards out. Mike Sobeski, PA tailback
took the Carmello Falcone trophy for
MVP by rushing 106 yards and scored
on a 48 yard run across the goal line.
Answer #1
Ann Blockus of Dupont was the 600th
student to graduate from Pittston Power
Sewing School. Both the school board
and Chamber of Commerce were com-
mended by the Bureau of Employment
Security for establishing the school
which helped to bring about the restruc-
turing of employment opportunities after
the king coal era. The Bureau publicized
the effort in an information circular
distributed statewide, complete with a
photo of Ann and various officials at a
special ceremony commemorating the
event.
What you need to know about the past
is that no matter what has happened, it
has all worked together to bring you to
this very moment. And this is the mo-
ment you can choose to make everything
new. - Author Unknown

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.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington said the
Federal Communications Commission acted within
its rights in a January 2010 ruling that aimed
to make coverage of sports teams more widely
available. Withholding sports programming can
place competitors at a serious disadvantage,
the judges said in a 3-0 ruling. We doubt that
Philadelphia baseball fans would switch to an
alternative service if doing so would mean they
could no longer watch Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy
Oswalt, and Cole Hamels take the mound for the
Phillies, the court said in a 48-page opinion written
by Judge David Tatel.
***
Alabama has passed the most severe anti-
immigration law in the country, while
Massachusetts has pulled out of federal immigration
enforcement programs. The new law in Alabama
authorizes police to stop and demand identifcation
from anyone who looks like a possible illegal
immigrant. The law also orders public schools to
check the immigration status of their students.
***
The United States Supreme Court has affrmed an
order placing a population limit on Californias
prisons to prevent continued mental and medical
health violations.
***
A new law in the state of Washington requires
parents to seek information on vaccines, before
signing an exemption allowing kindergartners
to attend school without meeting vaccination
requirements.

Incumbent council members
Eileen Cipriani, Gary Stavish
and Daniel Gadomski are seek-
ing re-election to the West
Wyoming Borough Council on
Nov. 8.
Cipriani, Stavish and Gadom-
ski have worked hard to establish
fiscal responsibility and sound
government practices in West
Wyoming. In 2011, the borough
was awarded the Governors

Excellence in the Category of
Responding to Adversity.
During the past four years Ci-
priani, Stavish and Gadomski,
have spearheaded efforts to rees-
tablish ethical and transparent
government practices in West
Wyoming.
The spending budget was re-
duced to levels it had not seen in
a decade, by cutting wasteful
practices and re-bidding insur-
ance and maintenance services.
These cost-containing measures
have meant significant savings
to the taxpayers.
They have increased openness
and communication with the res-
idents by establishing a website
containing the borough minutes,
treasurers reports, account bal-
ances and ordinances.
The borough has received 3.4
million dollars in grant funding
since 2008 which is more than it
did in the previous 12 years com-
bined. These grants include,
$214,114 for energy efficiency
improvements for the town hall,
$357,425 to repair erosion dam-
age along Abrahams Creek,
$649,827 for storm water con-
trol; $1,613,749 for West Side
Trail and sidewalk improve-
ments along Eighth Street,
$110,000 for resurfacing of
Holden and Morgan Streets,
$15,000for a salt shedand$9989
for police equipment.
When elected Cipriani, Ga-
domski and Stavish pledge to re-
main approachable and accessi-

borough residents. They will
continue the progress and im-
provements already underway to
make the borough government

John Morgan announced his
candidacy for retention to the
Exeter Borough Council.
John is the son of George and
Lucille Morgan, Sullivan Park,
Exeter.
John has been married to his
wife Michelle, a second grade
school teacher in the Wyoming
Area School District, for eleven
years, and they are the proud par-
ents of two wonderful sons John,
age 8 and Jacob, age 4.
John is a life long resident of
Exeter Borough and is very ac-
tive in the community. He is cur-
rently serving on Exeter Bor-
ough Council, is the President of
Cherrywood Estates, a coach
and fundraising chairman for the
Exeter Lions Little League, past
chairman of the St. Anthonys
Golf Tournament, and a very ac-
tive member of the Wyoming
Area Football Alumni Associ-
ation.
John is a 1993 graduate of
Wyoming Area High School. He
received an Associate in Science
degree in Health, Physical Edu-
cation and Movement Sciences
from Luzerne County Commu-
nity College and Bachelor of
Science degree in Physical Ac-
tivity from Marywood Universi-
ty.
Mr. Morgan is proud of his ac-
complishments while serving on
council with the other council
members.
Some of the accomplishments
are the launch of the Exeter Bor-
ough website, which can be
found atwww.exeterborough-
.com, and the purchase of two
new police cars.
Looking ahead, his major pri-
orities are public safety and to
secure funding with the help of
our local elected officials at the
state and federal levels, for the
long anticipated pumps to pre-
vent the flooding that has affect-
ed so many residents for such a
long period of time.
Mr. Morgan would appreciate
your vote to help keep Exeter
Borough moving forward in the
right direction.
Morgan seeks re-election to Exeter Council

Im Molly Hanlon Mirabito, and
Im running for judge.
I started my campaign with a quote
from JFK. As were winding down,
it seems appropriate to repeat it. He
said that political candidates should
submit to the voters ones views,
record and competence. I agree.
And an important part of this picture
is a candidates experience.
Ive been a practicing attorney for over 22 years. As
an Assistant District Attorney, I prosecute criminals,
collaborate with law enforcement offcers and agencies
and work with crime victims and their families. In my
private practice, I advise and work with clients on a
variety of issues. I understand the law and its impact in
all our lives. This is the experience I will bring to the
bench if elected.
But theres another important issue in this election.
I had an opportunity to meet many of our Luzerne
County neighbors over the past months. In our talks, the
importance of integrity kept popping up.
This word has been used a lot in the election. But
integrity is not just a word that I recently discovered.
Integrity is a way of life for me.
I learned about integrity while growing up in my mom
and dads home, and Ive never forgotten those early
lessons. I took them with me when I went to Notre Dame
to study law. They became part of my professional career
when I started practicing in our county. These lessons are
part of my life and professional work.
I cant think of a better way to end this letter than
with a paragraph I wrote in May about integrity. If Im
fortunate enough to be elected, Ill bring these lifelong
values and truths with me.
My word is my bond.
I will not sacrice my values for personal or professional gain.
I will not sacrice my values even if pressured to do so.
I will never break the public trust.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. You
can fnd more information about my work and campaign
on my web site: mollyforjudge.com. If you have a
smartphone, you can navigate to the site by using the
printed QR code.
Many thanks for your support and kindness
throughout the campaign.
Best, Molly

White grew up in New Jersey
where he was a scholastic all-
state soccer player in 1957.
He joined the Navy out of high
school, one of five brothers who
served in the Navy from1944 to
1979.
He drew aviation duty aboard
the aircraft carrier the USS Inde-
pendence and as a crewman on a
Navy blimp out of Lakehurst,
New Jersey, the site of the infa-
mous Hindenburg disaster.
Asked what his blimps duty
was he couldnt resist a joke.
Well, in World War II they pa-
trolled the coast looking for Ger-
man submarines, in peacetime
we used to fly over nudist colo-
nies.
After discharge, he worked as
a waiter, dishwasher, cook, chef,
dance instructor, golf caddy and
entertainer at Catskill resorts
where he waited on Hillary Clin-
ton and when he was asked how
long he had been working in the
resort business he answered,
Forty years, but Imnot making
a career out of it.
Whatever he did he always
found time for Veterans causes.
Vets need to recognized, he
said. I respect the military.
Without discipline theres no
progress.
Whites wife is deceased. He
has a son Richard Jr., who helps
himwith the summer picnic, two
daughters Gina and Colleen and
three grandsons, Rich White III,
28, James White, 23, and Antho-
ny DePascale, 10, a Pittston Area
student
Bernard J. McDonald, the
Commander of AMVETS Post
189, nominated White for AM-
VET of the year.
Despite serious problems
with his knees, McDonald said,
he works hard to promote AM-
VETS everyday. In our eyes he
eats, sleeps and breathes AM-
VETS 24 hours a day.
White said hes humbled to be
AMVET of the year. Its not so
important for me, Im not look-
ing for recognition, its good for
a local post to get these things.
But he added with a chuckle,
I cant understandwhytheyvot-
ed for me with no women on the
committee, its usually the wom-
en vote for me.

Lewicki said the occupying
forced worked essentially as a
police force, but had few prob-
lems. I was a little afraid the
first time I went to a barber shop
to get a shave, he said with a
chuckle.
But he didnt encounter anyre-
sentment
That was the biggest surprise.
The Japanese people were kind,
considerate and hardworking. I
enjoyed my stay immensely. I
visited many homes, had dinner,
joined local Catholic Church. I
made myself at home.
When he was sent home and
discharged in the summer of
1946, he was not yet 21years old.
Lewicki was born in Plains,
but his mother moved the family
to Southeastern PA after his fa-
ther was killedinthe mines when
Frank was five. His mother re-
married and they moved back to
Plains when Frank was 10 or 12,
where his stepfather built a
house. His stepfather died when
Frank was about 14, so Frank left
school to work for the National
Youth Administration for $25 a
month which he gave to his
mother.
After the war he worked in
Chicago and then New Jersey
where he retired as senior engi-
neering assistant in a research
lab, despite not having a high
school degree.
He and his wife Anne, to
whom he will be married 60
years next June, came back to
Plains after Frank retired. They
have a daughter Dianne who is a
wildlife artist and a son, Joseph,
a retired forestry worker in Mon-
tana.
Their granddaughter Hannah
is an English teacher in Cambo-
dia and their grandson Kyle
works for Apple in New York
City.
After not thinking about the
war for 60 years three things
spurred Lewicki to agree to ac-
cept the Bronze Star after 60
years: his grandchildren, a rob-
bery in which he lost the medals
he did receive as well as Japa-
nese souvenirs including a flag
with signatures of his war bud-
dies and Rose Carlin.
Rose, from Avoca, befriended
the Lewickis when they joined
her polka group. They think of
me as their adopted daughter,
Carlin said, and I feel like I am
their daughter, were that close.
It was Rose who waded
through the red tape to get Lew-
icki his medals. It tooka year, but
it was worth it. They were al-
ways so good to me, she said. I
thought howcan I repay them? It
was a wonderful ceremony. WWII Vet

November 1, 2011
A current supervisor of Pitt-
ston Township, Steve Rinaldi
seeks re-election in the Novem-
ber 2011 election. My promise
to the residents of Pittston Town-
ship is to continue the programs
instituted under my tenure in of-
fice and to expand other services
to residents, he said. I pledge
to devote my time to the work-
ings of the office and to maintain
a high standard of professional-
ism in Pittston Township.
During his tenure in office, Ri-
naldi said he encouraged a good
working relationship with both
the Volunteer Ambulance Asso-
ciation and Fire Department.
Reimbursements for ambu-
lance memberships will contin-
ue as well as contributions and
assistance from the township to
support personnel, he said.
During the last year additional
money has been forwarded to the
fire department for upgrades to
fire protection vehicles and
equipment in addition to the an-
nual allocation. I will continue to
support the staffing of the Sus-
con Fire Station to protect all the
citizens adequately and lower re-
sponse time of emergency fire
services. We will attempt once
again to secure gaming funds
through grant applications for
both the fire department and am-
bulance association.
The police department has
received new equipment and
hired additional personnel to
better serve the needs of the pub-
lic. This will allowus to increase
patrols in the Suscon area, Glen-
dale and all sections of the town-
ship. As the police liaison offi-
cer, I oversee the operations of
the police andwill worktoinsure
the residents of the township that
they will receive the best possi-
ble police protection with no re-
duction in other services.
Rinaldi said parks and recre-
ation have been a priority of his.
Both the Oriole Park and the
BrydenStreet Parkhave seenup-
grades and are maintained by
township personnel for the en-
joyment of young children. I
will continue to support all
sports activities for the youth of
the township, Rinaldi said.
In the two years Rinaldi has
been a supervisor, 13 roads have
been paved and more are sched-
uled for upgrade. Using grant
proceeds and general fund reve-
nue we were able to substantially
increase the qualityof roads with
no tax increase or loss of other
services, Rinaldi said.
Curbside recycling was insti-
tuted during my tenure. As a re-
sult of constant monitoring, our
recycling grant proceeds are one
of the largest in the county re-
turning valuable funds to be used
for Pittston Township residents.
During 2011a yard waste pick up
was made available for the resi-
dents as well as innovative
means of increasing bulk pick
ups with the use of Waste Man-
agement Bagsters that are pro-
vided free to the township resi-
dents.
Rinaldi concluded, I will con-
tinue to support the partial pay-
ment of both your Wyoming Val-
ley Sanitary Authority as well as
the Pittston Township Sewer Au-
thority.
Consider all the above factors
when voting for your supervisor.
I have faithfully served the resi-
dents of the township, first as
your police chief for over 40
years and now as a full time su-
pervisor. By casing your vote for
Steve Rinaldi, you will be ensur-
ing that progress will continue in

Harry Haas is a candidate for
Luzerne County Council. His
grandfather grewupinWest Pitt-
ston, married a girl from Dallas,
and eventually settled in the
Back Mountain. Haas grewup in
the Back Mountain and now
lives with his wife in downtown
Wilkes-Barre.
After being away for eight
years college and then teaching
in Washington, DC, Haas chose
to return home, find a job, and
start a family here. Today he
teaches world history at Dallas
Middle School, enjoys the out-
doors, and participates in the
community through groups like
the county historical society,
WBDowntown Residents Asso-
ciation, and Concerned Parents
of the Greater Hazleton Area.
Haas sais, I am running for a
seat on the county council be-
cause Luzerne County is the best
place to live, and the time has
come for its government to
match the quality of life it has
provided us. My three priorities
toachieve that goal are to: 1) Hire
the most experienced and princi-
pled county manager, 2) Shrink
the enormous county debt, and
3) Restore decency to public of-
fice in Luzerne County by work-
ing respectfully with my peers
and serving our community with
humility.
The Home Rule Charter calls
for the hiring of a county manag-
er. We must find the most qual-
ified, experienced, and trustwor-
thy county executive who will
hold true to the vision of trim-
ming down our rampant debt in a
professional manner., Haas
said. I visited the courthouse
several times this summer, and I
met many dedicated staff mem-
bers and department heads who
showed me that there are more
positives than negatives in local
government. The jobof our man-
ager will be toweedout the nega-
tive. Although it is politically
popular to call for sweeping cuts
and to label everyone under the
dome a crook, I disagree. We on
the council must be level-head-
ed, and while there are certainly
many changes to be made, we
must not fall into the temptation
to start from scratch. We must
worktogether: council, manager,
and staff to make Luzerne Coun-
ty run as efficiently as possible.

p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 27 at 1

Paesani: The Story of Italian
Culture in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania chronicles the massive
immigration of more than 4 mil-
lion Italians to the United States
between 1890 and 1930, and the
enduring culture these people
imbued into northeastern Penn-
sylvania society.
Older generations have always
passed down values, beliefs and
traditions to help younger gener-
ations identify with their name
and heritage. Yet, many people
still dont know who they are.
Paesani: The Story of Italian
Culture in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania celebrates and pre-
serves Italian heritage through a
poignant blend of first-person
storytelling, never-before-seen
images and insightful humanist
commentary.
Major funding for Paesani:
The Story of Italian Culture in
Northeastern Pennsylvania was
provided by UNICO National
and Lackawanna Heritage Val-
ley.

Dupont Borough officials re-
mind residents that there are no
permits for any solicitation in
town. If any person approaches
your property trying to sell a ser-
vice or good, be very cautious
and call 911.
As recently as Tuesday, Nov. 1,
a group of five young adults
were investigated for soliciting
for a carpet cleaning business.
Dupont police were alerted after
one of these individuals knocked
on the door of a Crime Watch
member. According to police,
each of these people was acting
suspicious, most of them had
suspended driver licenses or no
identification at all, and one was
actually wanted for crimes in an-
other town.
Because of an increase in in-
cidents such as this, Mayor Dan
Lello, council, and the police de-
partment encourage all residents
to report any suspicious activity
no matter how minor it may
seem.

One Year Ago
Tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 7,
Greater Pittston residents will
bowtheir heads toremember and
give thanks for Dale J. Kridlo.
On November 7, 2010, Kridlo,
a former Duryea and Hughes-
town resident, laid down his life
in service to his country when he
was killed by enemy fire in Af-
ghanistan in Operation Enduring
Freedom. Since Kridlos pass-
ing, I have had the privilege of
getting reacquainted with his
mother, Michelle Dale. Dale,
who is well known throughout
the Greater Pittston area, taught
me as well as thousands of other
students during her 30-year ca-
reer at Pittston Area. I received
the following reflection fromher
about her late son that she asked
me to share with all of you:
It is very hard to believe that a
year has passed since my son,
Army Specialist Dale J. Kridlo,
was killed in Kunar Province in
Afghanistan. The date, Novem-
ber 7, 2010, is the day my heart
was ripped from my body. I will
never forget and will relive the
events of that day and the days
that followed for the rest of my
life.
The Pittston Area has honored
Dale with many events for his ul-
timate sacrifice. I thank every-
one for this outpouring of love
and honor for him. Although I
am unable to attend many of the
events in Greater Pittston be-
cause I live in Florida, please
knowthat I love my son, and I am
there in spirit standing proudly
honoring his memory.
Because of my faith, I know
Dale is inabetter place where he
is happy with God. And his spirit
lives on with me daily. I feel his
presence often and am happy to
hold him in my heart.
Please remember to pray for
Dale and the people who love
him.
Michelle Dale,
Proud Mother of Army Spe-
cialist Dale J. Kridlo
Falcons Grateful
The members of Polish Fal-
cons, Nest 128 thank everyone

draiser to purchase a third televi-

tended to Lenny George, Lester

Thought for the Week
The universe is full of magical
things, patiently waiting for our
wits to grow sharper.
Quote of the Week
Often the difference between
a successful person and a failure
is not one has better abilities or
ideas, but the courage that one
has to bet on ones ideas, to take a
calculated risk - and to act.

Sports
There are certain
events, which define a
community. For some
communities the event is
a football game. For the
Greater Pittston Area, a
once a year football
game brings an entire
community together.
Ive always had the good fortune to
have been a part of this in some way shape
or form, said fourth-year Wyoming Area
Head Coach Randy Spencer. My family,
frommyfather tome as a player participa-
ting in the rivalry. Then Ive had years and
years as a coach. What a great expression
of our communitytosee the kindof crowd
that we had tonight and the emotion and
the care that everybody has around the
game and around the rivalry. Its really ve-
ry special. Its very special to me and I
think its very special to everybody."
When you are part of a rivalry game for
as many years as Coach Spencer has been,
you can experience it on the winning side
and the losing side. It was the Patriots who
walked away victorious this time with a
24-21 victory. There were tears, there
were hugs and there was a whole lot of
love on the field after the Patriots earned
just their third win of the season.
For the seniors, the tears represented
four years of hard work. The hugs repre-
sented the family the teamhad become in
just a short time.
Although 3-7 isnt normally considered
a solid season, this year it was monumen-
tal.
First-year Pittston Area Head Coach
Mike Barrett walked into a Pittston Area
football program that he knew the only
waytogowas up. He earnedthe respect of
his players andturnedthe programaround
in just one season. Following the victory
every Patriots player mentioned Coach
Barrett and his staff at least once. Among
those players was senior quarterback An-
thony Schwab.
Coach Barrett and I have grown so
close, its unexplainable, Schwab said.
He will call me up and we can talk about
plays. On or off the field he is always there
for me.

In a game with so much emotion and in-
tensity, records dont mean much espe-
cially in the Cross River Rivalry.
The annual affair between Pittston Area
andWyomingArea usuallycomes downto
a fewbig plays or a fewmissed opportuni-
ties. Despite being a underdog based on re-
cords, the Patriots made sure they were on
the right side of both.
Pittston Area stepped up its game and
took advantage of those opportunities
while the Warriors let themslipawayas the
Patriots came away with a thrilling 24-21
victory on Friday night in front of a packed
house at Anthony Jake Sobeski Stadium
in West Pittston.
Pittston Area quarterback Anthony
possessed. They shut them down tonight
and I am so proud of them.
While Houghton, Mawson and the rest
of the PA defense was holding the explo-
sive Wyoming Area offense in check,
Schwabmade playafter playtocontinually
move the Patriots offense.
A Schwab to Joe Starinsky completion
for 33 yards on the Patriots second posses-
sion of the night put Pittston Area at the
Warriors 1-yard line. But the Patriots set-
tled for a 23-yard Chris Musto field goal
when WAs defense led by linebacker
Jake Smith stood tough to hold Pittston
Areatojust threepoints with4:49left inthe
first quarter.
The Patriots defense held the potent
Warriors offense to a three-and-out after
two center-to-quarterback miscues cause
Schwab ran the show for the Patriots,
throwing for 160 yards and two touch-
downs and rushing for another, but it was
the PAdefense that keyed the win over the
playoff-bound Warriors.
Defensive linemen Anthony Houghton
and Dave Mawson controlled the line of
scrimmage for most of the night, combin-
ing for 20 tackles, three forced fumbles, a
fumble recovery and a sack while contain-
ing one of the most explosive offenses in
the Wyoming Valley Conference. Haught-
ons play earned himthe 34th Annual Car-
men Falcone MVP Trophy. The 62, 270-
pound junior recorded 13 tackles, a sack
and forced two fumbles. He is just the third
lineman to receive the MVP honor in the
awards history.

down.
Schwab and the Pittston Area
offense wasted no time once they
got the ball back. After a 4-yard
Marc Romanczuk carry and an
incomplete pass, Schwab hit
Evan Hahn, who found himself
behind defensive back Ahmad
Bouie, for a 51-yard touchdown
with1:23 left in the quarter. Mus-
tos extra-point attempt was true,
and the Patriots led 10-0.
Wyoming Area answered right
back.
Cody Schmitz went for nine
yards on an option from quarter-
backNickOBrien, andtwoplays
later OBrien ripped off a13-yard
scamper to the PA 49. After two
3-yard runs by Corey Popovich,
OBrien hit Bouie with a quick
pass and the senior speedster
made a move to shake his defend-
er and pick up 16 yards.
A Jeff Skursky 1-yard run, and
a 13-yard OBrien to Adonizio
connection, led to OBrien pick-
ingup12yards withhis feet when
he rolled right and planted his
foot inthe groundbefore bursting
through the hole to the 1-yard
line.
Skursky took the handoff on
the next play and went untouched
intotheendzonetocapan11-play,
75-yard drive to cut the lead to
10-7 with 8:17 left in the half.
However, PittstonArea was not
deterred.
On their first play of the drive,
Schwab found star wideout Jor-
dan Houseman for his first catch
of thenight, a19-yardgain. Junior
tailback Justin Wilk then ripped
off a 50-yard run as he took the
handoff and burst through the
hole into the secondary before he
was tackled at the 6-yard line by
OBrien.
After a big tackle-for-loss by
Smith, Schwab play-actioned,
rolled left and hit tight end Brian
Delaneyintheendzonegivingthe
Patriots a 17-7 lead with 6:53 left
in the first half.
Wyoming Area took their next
drive and relied on OBrien who
rushed the ball four times for 30
yards to help string together a 9-
play, 41-yard drive. However, on
fourth-and-7 from the PA 24,
Mawson got his hand on an
OBrien pass and the Patriots
forced the turnover on downs to
get the ball back with 2:17 left in
the half.
After Wilk opened the drive
with a 15-yard scamper, the PA
drive stalled. But on fourth-

The Patriots wonthe game, be-
cause they played with heart, and
each guy on the field played for
the one he lined up next to.
I couldnt have imagined a
better ending to the season, se-
nior tight end Brian Delaney
said. We won it as a team and
were a family. I love these guys
with all my heart and I am so
proud to be on this team.
The family Delaney speaks of
consists of more than just se-
niors.
It was myfirst time playingin
this game and I loved the intensi-
ty we played with. We did it for
the seniors and they deserved it,
freshman running back Kyle
Gattuso said. I hope everyone
saw how good we really are to-
night. and dont worry, we will
be back next year.
It was also a big win for the
program. There are some people
around the greater Pittston Area
who probably feel as though the
Patriots could have lost every
game of the season, but if they
beat the Warriors the season is a
success and vice versa.
"It was a huge win for the pro-
gram. In Week1we got the mon-
key off our back and we compet-
ed all year," Barrett said. "To-
night we played four quarters of
football and we played great. I
am so proud of these kids and I
love every single one of them."
The Pittston Area-Wyoming
Area rivalry is more than just a
football game. It is a tradition
that has been part of the Greater
Pittston area since long before
these players were born. It
doesnt necessarily matter who
won the game, but the fact the
game was played is all that mat-
ters.

On the cusp of winning his
first football championship last
season when Old Forge trav-
eled to Susquehanna, co-cap-
tain Anthony Trotta wasnt
about to let the Sabers again
take away what the Blue Devils
have come to feel is rightfully
theirs the Lackawanna Foot-
ball Conference Division III ti-
tle.
So the senior linebacker re-
corded 15 tackles and led a big
night for the Old Forge defense
in a 22-15 win over Susquehan-
na to claim the Blue Devils
fourth LFC Division III crown
in six years on Senior Parents
Night at Veterans Memorial
Stadium on Friday.
Trotta also got a little help
from his friends.
Sophomore linebacker Jor-
den Sekol also recorded 15
tackles for the Blue Devils, but
the first-year starter put his
stamp on the game with an in-
terception and a blocked punt.
Both plays led to two Colin Ca-
rey second-half touchdowns.
(Jorden) has taken every-
thing in stride, said Trotta. I
am trying to teach him what I
know, and in turn hes been able
to give me tips. As the season
has gone on we have learned
each others game and how to
play with each other. Its made
both of us better football play-
ers as the season has gone on.
Hes been learning every
week and is a long way from
done. He is going to be a great
football player.
Old Forge needed the big
plays from Sekol and the de-
fense despite controlling much
of the game on the offensive
side of the football.
The Blue Devils opened the
game with a 13-play, 56-yard
drive to the Susquehanna 7.
But the Sabers forced an in-
completion on fourth down to
halt the scoring opportunity.
On the Sabers first play from
scrimmage, Trotta tackled
quarterback Sean Stanley for a
four-yard loss from the seven,
and on the next play, defensive
end Cory Stuart tackled Stan-
ley in the endzone for a safety
and a 2-0 Old Forge lead with
6:30 showing on the first quar-
ter clock.
Susquehanna stopped the
Blue Devils on its ensuing pos-
session and went on a drive of
its own. The Sabers chewed up
55 yards on the ground, includ-
ing Greg Prices seven-yard
touchdown run with 1:12 left in
the opening period. Austin
Cowpertwaits extra-point was
good, and the defending divi-
sion champs led 7-2.
The teams exchanged two
fruitless possessions before
Carey scored his first touch-
down of the game.
After an incompletion on
first down from the 50, Carey
hit Dave Argust on an out for 12
yards before finding a wide
open Mike Vieira for 15 yards
to set the Blue Devils up at the
Sabers 23.
On the next play, Carey
scampered 23 yards to paydirt
to give Old Forge an 8-7 lead
with 1:57 left before intermis-
sion. The two-point run failed.
Susquehanna tried to get
back on the board before the
teams went to halftime after a
return on the ensuing kickoff to
the Old Forge 35. But on first-
and-10 at the 20, junior defen-
sive back Anthony Piccolini in-
tercepted a Stanley pass at the 1
to end the threat.
Each teampunted to open the
second half before Sekol struck
for the first time.
On third-and-10 from his
own 42, Stanley rolled right
and fired a strike right to Se-
kol who was in the middle of
the field at the 50 with no Sab-
er receivers around him. The
62, 175-pound defender then
turned offensive, and returned
his second career interception
to the Susquehanna 17.
I had to drop back in my
zone and I just stole it off him,
said Sekol. Anthony Trotta
has really helped me get better,
helping me out with my reads
and everything. I was thinking
touchdown when I caught it.

The Duryea Wildcats B Team re-
mained unbeaten and unscored upon
as they hosted Exeter on Sunday with
a WVWYFCC Super Bowl berth on
the line and came away with the 32-0
victory over the Panthers.
The Wildcats outscored their oppo-
nents 274-0 during the regular sea-
son, and will now face Kingston in
the championship at Wyoming Valley
West Stadium in Kingston.
Donovan OBoyle had three touch-
downs, and Walter Coles passed the
ball well and also had a rushing
touchdown. Kevin Krawczyk also
scored, and Luke Petroski ran the ball
well and had a two-point conversion.
Wide receiver Kyle Artley had two
catches for 65 yards.
The offensive line played as good
as they have all year. Brian Miller,
Tyler Ferlick, Jake Rutokowski, Jo-
nathan Winters, Nick Harth and Tim
Higgins all blocked seemingly un-
stoppable opponents. Dylan Wind-
burn and Seth Johnson provided
depth and relief when the line needed
it most.
The defense led by Christian Wer-
ner took pride in never allowing an
opponent to score. The line was held
down by Dominic Cerretta, Jeremy
Shagnessy, Austin Basara, Nathanel
Wesknak, and Brandon Micavicz.
Outstanding play at corner was dis-
played on both sides by Matt Starin-
sky and Joe Carey. Linebackers
played tough with Rob Jones, Brian
Giambra and Lucas Baritski as the
starters. OBoyle played safety. This
team has been together since the age
of 5. They have played in two Super
bowls and have had a playoff appear-
ance in every year since they came
together. The head coach this year is
Rob Jones. Coach Jay designed and
ran a very sophisticated offense for
the age of the boys. Defense and spe-
cial teams was run by Ken Coles.
The Duryea Wildcats C-Team ad-
vanced to the WVWYFCC Super
Bowl with a 20-6 victory over the
WWE Panthers on Sunday.
Andrew Krawczyk ran for two
touchdowns while Michael George
ran for one score. Michael Nocito
added a two point conversion.
The defense was led by Fran Ge-
orge, Brennan Higgins, Logan Booth,
Chris Urbanski, Dylan Lukachko,
and Austun Vols. The Wildcats will
face the Dallas Junior Mounts today
at Wyoming Valley West Stadium.

a turnover-on-downs.
Withthe offense havingtrouble
getting in sync, the Warriors de-
fense stepped up and held the Pa-
triots to a three-and-out. A
shankedpunt thengaveWyoming
Areatheball at PittstonAreas 26.
OBrien took the first play and
went for10tothe PA16, but a per-
sonal foul penalty after the play
movedtheWarriors back15yards
from the end of the play to set up
first down at the Patriots 31. After
a 2-yard OBrien run, a pass in-
terference call on the Patriots
gave the Warriors the ball on the
PA14-yardline. The Warriors got
the ball to the Pittston Area six,
but on fourth-and-one, the Patriot
defensive line stopped Skursky
on a dive play and forced another
turnover-on-downs.
It was the third time Pittston
Area stopped Wyoming Area in-
side the 25.
I think you go back and you
look at those key plays, most
games youll findfiveor sixandit
was definitely those in this
game, saidWyomingArea Head
Coach Randy Spencer on the
missed field goal and the two
turnover-on-downs deep in PA
territory. That absolutely is the
difference in the football game.
Youve got to give Coach Barrett
and his coaches credit.
The Warriors knocked Schwab
for a 5-yard loss after the punt,
forcing the Patriots inside their
own1-yard line. Pittston Area ran
two plays up the middle for
breathing room before punting it
back to the Warriors.
After a scoreless third quarter,
Wyoming Area sent its offense
back on the field with11:11left in
the fourth, facing a 17-7 deficit.
Ontheir secondplayof thepos-
session, OBrien hit Dylan Pegg
for a 12-yard gain and on the en-
suing play a pass interference call
on PA gave Wyoming Area the
ball on the Patriots 25. OBrien
hit Schmitz for 10 yards before
Bouie dashed through the line for
14 yards before being tripped up
at the 1.
Skursky finished the drive off
with a touchdown on a dive play.
The extra point was no good, but
the Patriots lead was cut to 17-13
with 9:38 left in the game.
The Warriors defense forced a
three-and-out on the ensuing PA
drive to set up the Warriors at
their own 42.
Ontheir seconddown, OBrien
went for 13 yards and PA was
whistled for a dead ball personal
foul, adding another 15 to the end
of the run giving WA the ball at
the Patriots 28-yard line.
On the very next play, Jordan
Zezza took the snap at quarter-
back and ran the option with
OBrien who was positioned at
tailback. OBrien took the pitch,
scrambled to the right, but then
stopped and fired the ball down
fieldtoawide-openJoeAdonizio
for the score and the first War-
riors lead of the game. OBrien
added the two-point conversion,
and Wyoming Area led 21-17
with 6:43 left in the final quarter.
Pittston Area however would
not be denied.
The Patriots began the game-
winning drive from their own 27
yard line, and after a Schwab to
Houseman 5-yard hook-up, Wilk
went for 11for a first down to the
PA 44.
But the Warriors forced the Pa-
triots into a fourth down situation
and a timeout three plays later
with just over four minutes left in
the game.
Barrett sent his offense backon
the field out of the timeout, and
on fourth down, Schwab took the
snap, rolled to his left before fir-
ing the ball downfield to Starin-
sky for a 25-yard gain and a first
down in Wyoming Area territory.
We had so much time, espe-
cially on that last fourth down
conversion on the post to Starin-
sky, said Schwab. I could have
sat back there for hours.
The next play saw Romanczuk
rumble for 36 yards to the one
inch-line before Schwab took a
quick snap, and fell into the end-
zone to reclaim the lead for the
Patriots, 24-21, with 3:13 left in
the game.
Wyoming Area would still
have a chance two actually
On first down of the ensuing
possession, OBrien hit Schmitz
for 11to get the drive moving. But
the Warriors got no further after
OBrien rolled left on fourth-
and-5 and had his pass attempt
tipped by Tyler Roman forcing
the turnover on downs.
Pittston Area tried to kill some
time off of the clock after taking
over, but it would give Wyoming
Area the ball back with just over
one minute left in the game.

first down, and a huge gain on
second down was denied when
OBriens pass went through the
hands of the WAreceiver. Anoth-
er incompletion forced a fourth-
and-10 with the game on the line.
OBrien took the snap, drop-
ped back, and avoided the rush
before rolling to his right. He
scrambled away from the de-
fenders but as he stopped to pass,
Mawson crushed him from be-
hind forcing a fumble and seal-
ing the victory and bragging
rights for the Patriots.
It was awesome. I wish we
played defense like that all year
long. They were animals, said
Barrett. I think it was a learning
process throughout the year. It
was awesome for the seniors to
be sent off this way. Great, great
game on both sides of the ball.
It was a huge win for the pro-
gram. Tonight we played four
quarters of football and we
played great. I am so proud of
these kids.
Pittston Area was led on of-
fense by Schawb who finished
10-for-16 for 160 yards and two
touchdowns. On the ground, the
Patriots were led by Wilk who
rushed10 times for 84 yards, and
Romanczuk who also rushed 10
times for 55 yards. Starinsky fin-
ished with 69 yards on four re-
ceptions and Houseman hauled
in three catches for 31 yards.
Defensively, the play of
Haughton and Mawson on the
defensive line freed up Patriot li-
nebackers Joe Giambra and Sam
Falcone to register some impres-
sive numbers as well. The junior
duo split 20 tackles as they
helped PA keep OBrien from
making big plays.
OBrien led the Warriors of-
fense with119 yards rushing and
105 yards passing. But the junior
human-highlight reel was held
out of the endzone for the first
time this season. OBrien had
scored 25 touchdowns in eight
previous games.
Skursky, the WA freshman
halfback, scored two touch-
downs for the Warriors but
gained just six yards on six car-
ries. Bouie added 44 yards on the
ground and 22 yards on two re-
ceptions for Wyoming Area.
Schmitz led the Warriors re-
ceiving corps with three catches
for 23 yards. He also rushed five
times for 16 yards.
Defensively, WA was led by
senior linebackers Matt Kintz
who had nine tackles, and Jake
Smith who had six, including
five for a loss. OBrien, Schmitz
and EJ Driving Hawk chipped in
with four stops each.

It took all 10 weeks of play to
figure it out, but two gridiron
locals team finally know who
they will play in the upcoming
District 2 playoffs.
Wyoming Area will try to
bounce back from a crushing
loss to rival Pittston Area in the
final week of the season when
they host legendary coach
Frank Pazzaglia and his Mid
Valley Spartans on Friday night
at Anthony Jake Sobeski Sta-
dium in West Pittston.
Old Forge will try to continue
the momentum they have built
since a controversial loss to
arch-rival Riverside in Week 5
when they host a rematch with
pre-season district favorite
Lackawanna Trail on Friday
night at Veterans Memorial
Stadium in Old Forge.
The Warriors earned the No.
2 seed in the tournament de-
spite having 10 less PIAA
points than the Spartans. Thats
because Wyoming Area (6-3)
only played nine games, forcing
the District 2 Class 2A teams to
be seeded on per-game average
rather then on total points.
GAR earned the top seed
with a 9-1 record. The Grena-
diers face a rematch with Lake-
land the only team to beat
GAR this year. But the Chiefs
(5-5) are a much different team
then in Week 3. Lakeland had
lost four-of-five games going
into its Week 10 win over West-
ern Wayne the team that beat
Wyoming Area to open the sea-
son. One other note on the GAR
v. Lakeland game, Grenadiers
star quarterback Darrell Craw-
ford did not play in the loss.
Mid Valley (6-4) will be a
tough opponent for the War-
riors. The Spartans have won
six of eight since opening the
season with losses GAR and
Lakeland. There other two loss-
es have come against the top
two seeds in the District 2 Class
1A tournament Dunmore
(10-0) and Old Forge (8-2). The
four teams that beat Mid Valley
have a combined record of
32-8.
The Spartans feature 1,600-
yard speedster Antonio Russo
at tailback and big-play receiv-
er Ronny Tomasetti who has
over 35 catches on the season.
Russo has 20 touchdowns rush-
ing and quarterback Martin
Walsh has thrown for 987 yards
and eight touchdowns. Line-
backers Chris Merenich and
Mark Seber lead the Mid Valley
defense.
In Class 1A, Old Forge wel-
comes Lackawanna Trail (8-2)
back to the Devils Den after
they whooped the Lions 37-6 in
Week 7. In that game, the Blue
Devils held Trail leading rusher
Eric Laytos to just 69 yards on
the ground. The former PIAA
wrestling champ has rushed for
over 1,000 yards on the season.
In the other semifinal, River-
side (6-4) will travel to Dun-
more in a rematch of a Week 10
contest that saw the Bucks
throttle the Vikings, 28-0. Dun-
mores John Rinaldi tied a state
record with five interceptions
in the game. The Bucks feature
the two-headed rushing attack
of Austin Seamon and Daiq-
won Buckley. The duo has
rushed for over 2,000 yards and
27 touchdowns with Seamon
accounting for over 1,200 yards
and 15 touchdowns of the total.
The semifinal winners will
play Nov. 18 at the site of the
highest remaining seed. There
are no longer neutral site cham-
pionship games in District 2.

Playing its second Monday
game of the season, the Old
Forge football team decided to
start Halloween early as it con-
tinued to give its fans treats
without any needed tricks.
The Blue Devils bagged an-
other victory over Holy Cross,
40-14, in front of a good crowd
on a crisp Halloween after-
noon at St. Anthonys Play-
ground in Dunmore.
The victory assured Old
Forge a share of the Lackawan-
na Football Conference Divi-
sion III crown, and a return trip
to the District 2 Class 1A play-
offs. It also extended a five-
game winning streak over the
Crusaders which has seen the
Blue Devils outscore the five-
year old school, 192-26.
The Blue Devils did get a
scare early though on All Hal-
lows Eve when Crusaders tail-
back Joe Merli scampered 19
yards to give the home team a
7-0 lead after Louis Gianaco-
polis had returned a Colin Ca-
rey interception 38 yards dur-
ing the Blue Devils opening
possession.
Old Forge answered quickly
with its tailback tandem of Lou
Febbo and Brian Tomasetti
running for 48 yards on five
plays before Tomasetti ripped
off a 20-yard touchdown run,
untouched around the left side
of the Blue Devils line. Matt
Mancuso added the first of
three extra-points on the day,
and the game was tied 7-7 with
6:56 left in the opening stanza.
The Crusaders looked like
they would make the game a
shootout as Merli ripped off
runs of 14 and 10 yards to put
Holy Cross into Old Forge ter-
ritory. Merli one of five Old
Forge residents in the starting
lineup for the Crusaders fin-
ished the game with 90 yards
on 25 carries, but only gained
42 of those yards after his first
five carries of the game netted
him 48 yards.
However quarterback Rob
Heyen gained nine yards on
fourth-and-3 later in the drive,
and added another five yards
to go with a five-yard face-
mask penalty on the Blue Dev-
ils to give Holy Cross fourth-
and-5 from the Old Forge 19.
But with the Crusaders
knocking on the door, sopho-
more linebacker Shane Schu-
back closed it quickly. Making
his first start at outside line-
backer, Schuback recorded a
career-high 10 tackles, includ-
ing stopping Patrick Hagan,
one-on-one, for a 1-yard loss
on a reverse to turn the ball
back over to the Blue Devils.
Old Forge punted on its next
possession, but after stopping
Holy Cross for the second
straight series, the Blue Devils
went back to Febbo and the se-
nior delivered.
The diminutive tailback
broke free on an off-tackle
play and sprinted 85 yards
down the Old Forge sideline to
paydirt, giving the Blue Devils
a 15-7 lead after he powered in
for the two-point run with 7:57
left in the second quarter.
The Big Blue Wrecking
Crew forced its first three-and-
out of the afternoon, and two
Carey passes to Mike Vieira
for 41 yards set up Febbos sec-
ond touchdown of the game a
nine-yarder to give Old Forge a
22-7 lead with 5:30 left in the
half.
Vieira then got into the act
on defense.
With Holy Cross driving to
the Blue Devils 34, Vieira
made an acrobatic interception
of a Heyen pass to give the ball
back to Old Forge at its own 15.
Carey hit Vieira twice for 21
yards, and Anthony Piccolini
for 11 yards to get the Blue
Devils into Holy Cross territo-
ry. The senior quarterback
then found Dave Argust for six
yards before calling his own
number for a 43-yard touch-
down run with 55 seconds left
in the second period. Febbo
added the two-point run and
Old Forge led 30-7 at halftime.
Carey was involved on every
play in the seven-play, 85-yard
drive, going 4-for-5 for 38

But the touchdown was des-
tined for Carey, who snuck it in
from the 1 after he hit Argust
for 11 yards on first down and
ran for another four yards on
first-and-goal from the 6. An
offsides penalty on the Sabers
moved the ball to the one-yard
line before Carey cashed in.
Matt Mancuso drilled the ex-
tra-point to give Old Forge a
15-7 lead with 5:50 to go in the
third quarter.
Susquehanna did not waste
any time responding.
The Sabers got another big
kick return, this time to the Old
Forge 31. Five plays later, Stan-
ley hit Cowpertwait in the left
side of the sound endzone for a
12-yard touchdown. Stanley
then went untouched into the
corner of the endzone to tie the
game at 15-15 with 2:49 left in
the third quarter.
The game began to look like
the offensive show everyone
was expecting on Old Forges
next drive when Carey hit Eli-
jah Wilson for 16 yards and
then Piccolini for 37 on the
first two plays from scrimmage
to give the Blue Devils first-
and-goal from the 4. But the
Sabers stood tall, stopping Lou
Febbo on three running plays
before forcing Carey into an in-
completion on fourth down to
take the ball back.
With momentum swinging
back to the Sabers, the Big
Blue Wrecking Crew was
about to allow it to escalate.
Trotta stopped Price for one-
yard on first down from the
four, and Joey Ciuccio tackled
Stanley in the backfield on sec-
ond down for the two-yard loss.
Then on third-and-11, Ciuccio
and Sekol tracked Stanley
down before he could reach the
first down marker to force a
Susquehanna punt.
Cowpertwait took the snap
on fourth down in punt forma-
tion, but a sea of blue jerseys
enveloped the Sabers punter
with Sekol blocking the punt
just short of the endzone. The
ball wound up out of bounds at
the three were Old Forge would
take over.
The punt block was on,
said Sekol. Shane (Schuback)
and I are supposed to split the
blockers to allow Lou to get in.
But we all got in, and I was able
to get there. I just stretched out
and got it.
The play resulted in Careys
third touchdown of the night,
the game-winner from three-
yards on first down. Mancusos
extra-point gave the Blue Dev-
ils a 22-15 lead with 10:23 left
in the game.
I am so excited and ex-
tremely proud of this team and
how we played, said Carey. I
cant describe it. We didnt
want to feel that same feeling
(from last year) again.
Susquehanna answered by
driving to the Old Forge 31. But
three offsides penalties on the
Sabers during the next four
plays resulted in a third-and-27
situation from the Old Forge
49.
Stanley dropped back quick-
ly and then took off up the mid-
dle on a draw, but Trotta was
there waiting for the senior
quarterback and tackled him
for a one-yard loss to force a
punt.
Old Forge couldnt manage
to run the clock out and were
forced to punt after just three
downs on each of its next two
possessions. Argusts first punt
was partially blocked, and the
Sabers took over at the Blue
Devils 37.
But again it was Trotta, Sekol
and the Old Forge defense
holding Susquehanna in check.
Trotta tackled Price after two
yards on third-and-4 from the
31, and Sekol, Ciuccio and
Ryan Cadwalder stopped Price
for no gain on fourth-and-2
from the 29.
Then on the Sabers final pos-
session, Trotta put an exclama-
tion point on the win by tack-
ling Stanley for a three-yard
loss on fourth-and-7 with 11
seconds remaining in the game.
Its a great feeling to have
these kids be a part of your
life, said Old Forge Head
Coach Mike Schuback. I want
my daughter to be able to mar-
ry a kid like Trotta or Carey.
They are the type of guys that
are committed to their friends,
committed to their education.
They are tireless workers.
I am proud of all of the se-
niors that stayed. It shows the
character of them and the hard
work they were willing to put
in to succeed. They know it
doesnt have to be their name
called everyday. There are a lot
of unseen seniors as well. Ciuc-
cio had a solid year for us. Cad-
walder had a solid year for us.
Stuart again had a solid year.
But no one talks about thembe-
cause they are on defense. Of-
fense gets the publicity, and de-
fense is a dirty job.
This teammatured this year.
Some may think they over-
achieved, but really they ma-
tured because this has been a
special group in everything
they do. Our freshmen program
is successful and that group of
sophomores gave us a boost
this year. Our junior class is
athletic, and the leadership and
stability that our senior class
provided made this happen. It
was the perfect mix. The fact
we won the division is great.
Its a great feeling to be where
we are right now.
Careys 170-yard night on 11-
of-23 passing put him over the
1,000-yard mark for the season.
The first-year quarterback is at
1,026 for the season. Argust
hauled in five of those comple-
tions for 78 yards, and Vieira
added two catches for 28 yards.
Defensively, Shane Schu-
back added six tackles, includ-
ing two for losses, and Ciuccio
made all four of his stops in the
second half.
Carey scores three touchdowns as Blue Devils win crown
Continued fromPage 48
yards passing, and running for
47 yards on two carries.
Holy Cross stopped the 30
unanswered point streak with
13-play, 60-yard drive, capped
by a 1-yard plunge by Heyen to
start the third quarter. Hagans
PAT cut the deficit to 30-14,
but the Crusaders would get no
closer. Heyen finished with 81
yards on 18 carries for HC.
Old Forge answered with
Carey, Febbo and Vieira doing
the damage.
Carey ran for nine yards on
first down before Febbo
gained six on second to put the
Blue Devils into HC territory.
Carey then hit Vieira on an out
for 11 yards, and Argust across
the middle for 17 before Febbo
rushed another nine to the Cru-
saders 5.
Vieira capped the drive with
a 5-yard touchdown reception
on a diving catch just inside
the endzone to put Old Forge
ahead 37-14. The drive trav-
eled 57 yards and took only
1:38 off the clock as the Blue
Devils clicked on all cylinders
during the six-play sequence.
Two plays later, Schuback
returned his second intercep-
tion of the season 51 yards to
the HC 9. Old Forge settled for
a field goal attempt, and Man-
cuso drilled his fourth three-
pointer of the season for the fi-
nal margin of victory, 40-14.
Febbo finished with 196
yards on 20 carries for the
Blue Devils, and Vieira led the
receiving corps with a career-
high seven catches for 102
yards. Carey ended the day 11-
for-16 for 135 yards.
Defensively, middle line-
backer Anthony Trotta led a
trio of Blue Devils with dou-
ble-digit tackles with 14 stops,
including two for losses. Soph-
omore Jorden Sekol also added
10 tackles for Old Forge to go
with Schubacks 10. Schuback
also added a sack and three
TFLs to his defensive totals.

In 1971 the tragic Southern
Airways Flight 932 plane crash
claimed the lives of 75 people,
including Marshall Universitys
entire varsity football team, ad-
ministrators, staff, and boosters.
Following that horrific event,
Jack Lengyel became head
coach of the universitys Thun-
dering Herd football team, and
was faced with the daunting task
of rebuilding Marshals football
program from the ground up.
Lengyls efforts, and success-
es at Marshal University, provid-
ed the inspiration for the 2006
movie, We Are Marshal,
which starred Matthew McCo-
naughey.
On Monday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m.,
Lengyel will be a guest speaker
at Penn State Worthington
Scranton, in The View Caf, in
the campus Study Learning
Center. This event is free and
