Not to suggest strong simi-
larities between the two, but
one thing the war in Afghan-
istan and the recent flooding of
parts of Wyoming Valley have
in common is this: unless you
or your loved ones are directly
involved, you routinely go
about your daily lives paying
little or no attention.
Thats not an indictment. Its
just the way it is. And its some-
thing I learned first hand, both
with the war and with the flood.
Until I found out my friend
Albert Kridlos son Dale was
serving in Afghanistan, and
especially when Dale was killed
in action last Nov. 7, the war to
me was nothing more than
something occasionally appear-
ing in the news and not always
grabbing my attention when it
did. Im not proud of that.
Im also not proud that, aside
from pulling an all-nighter to
produce the Sept. 11 issue of the
Dispatch, the Flood of 2011 had
little effect on me and sub-
sequent recovery efforts were
not foremost in my mind either.
But that all changed with my
first venture into the West Side.
And since Im confessing, I
might as well add that my first
trip across the Susquehanna
after the Fort Jenkins Bridge
was re-opened to traffic was
hardly an errand of mercy. It
was to have a hot fudge sundae
at the Blue Ribbon Dairy Bar.
It was hard to eat ice cream,
however, after driving through
West Pittston, particularly since
we took a detour along Susque-
hanna Avenue. It was nighttime
and we were not prepared for
the eerie feeling of seeing all
the majestic homes of that
neighborhood completely in
darkness. We also werent pre-
pared for driving through veri-
table canyons created by
mounds of discarded precious
belongings and priceless me-
mories lining the wide streets.
Two days later, wearing our
oldest jeans and donning work
gloves, my wife and I pulled up
in front of the home of our
friends John and Inge Markar-
ian at the corner of Susquehan-
na Avenue and Spring Street.
Weve been back nearly every
day since and each time is a
learning experience.
My first lesson was about
mud. Unless youve dealt with
it you have no idea. I spent the
entire day last Sunday cleaning
items with a power washer and
when I finished it looked as
though I had done absolutely
nothing. The magnitude of the
clean-up task is mind-boggling.
You are left wondering where
the residents get the spirit, not
to mention the energy, to face it
every day.
A second lesson is about loss.
Home after home after home,
not just in West Pittston but
also in Jenkins Twp., Exeter
Twp., Duryea and parts of Pitt-
ston, are without heat, hot wa-
ter, electricity, and even security
due to warped doors and dam-
aged locks. Some are no longer
inhabitable. Carted to the curb
have been furnaces, hot water
heaters, stoves, refrigerators,
washers, dryers, furniture,
books, dishes, pots and pans,
you name it. Then there are the
irreplaceable items: the photo
albums, the cookbooks with
hand written recipes from great
grandmothers tucked inside, the
beloved Christmas ornaments
stored in basements, the family
heirlooms handed down
through generations.
The charity and goodwill
provide another lesson. The hot
meals delivered right to clean-
up crews as they work are a
godsend. The neighbors halting
work on their own properties to
assist one another are angels.
The buckets of cleaning suppli-
es provided by the Salvation
Army and others literally bring
tears to the eyes. Who knew a
roll of paper towels could be
such a welcomed gift?
But the greatest lesson to be
learned is in the pain, the heart-
ache, the fear, the suffering.
These are hurting people.
FEMA has set up an oper-
ation in the Advanced Tech-
nology Center at Luzerne
County Community College.
Its the building where I main-
tain an office and do most of
my teaching, so Ive had a ring-
side seat for the parade of vic-
tims seeking help. I see them
every day wandering in with
glossy eyes, often tugging
along a child with each hand.
They all look lost.
One day last week I spotted a
couple of friends waiting their
turn in the hall, but when I went
over to say hello, a woman
seated next to them, probably
noticing my tie and thinking I
was with the government,
grabbed my hand and burst into
tears. Through her sobbing, I
ascertained her home had been
completely destroyed and she
and her family had absolutely
no place to live. My heart went
out not only to her but also to
the FEMA people at the desks
inside whose only answer to her
plight on this day would be
forms to fill out. Its a far cry
from the comfort she seeks. Im
sure the FEMA folks are well
aware of it and wish they could
do more.
I know the feeling.

wo weeks ago West Pitt-
ston had two dry cleaners.
Today it has none. Two
weeks ago West Pittston had two
family-owned hardware stores
open. Todayonlyone is openand
it is battered and bruised.
Two weeks ago West Pittston
had a busy convenient store.
Now it does not. Two weeks ago
West Pittston had a legendary
breakfast, lunch and dinner res-
taurant where Garden Villagers
gathered to eat and kibitz. Today
it is an empty shell.
Twenty-six businesses were
affected by flooding in West Pitt-
ston. Several of themwere at and
around the Luzerne Avenue-
Wyoming Avenue corner.
The Penn Mart Convenient
store on that Luzerne Avenue-
Wyoming Avenue corner was
flooded with to 5 1/2 feet. Ev-
erything was just gone right
down to the studs, said general
manger Lorraine Lavelle. The
insulation came out, everything.
We had to start from the begin-
ning.
Lavelle addressed a rumor
about PennMart. We had no gas
leaks. Thats something we
should really clear up. Gas did
not leak from any of our tanks.
That was a rumor going around.
Our levels stayed good.
Lavelle said the store will reo-
pen, but couldnt estimate when.
Were waiting for our shelves
and coolers to come in. We have
limited power. Were waiting for
our final inspection before they
can turn us back on.
PennMart has eight employees
who along with volunteers
helped with the clean up. They
are going to be okay, Lavelle
said of the employees.
Catty-corner from PennMart,
Mike LaNunziata Jr. looked into
the empty shell where his and his
fathers business Crest Dry
Cleaners used to be and won-
dered aloud if they can come-
back.
Our machines were all wiped
out, he said. Wed like to come
back. Were trying to. Were
looking at the numbers and tak-
ing it one day at a time. Ive been
doing this my whole life, 30
years. I know our customers
cant wait until we come back.
The LaNunziatas owned three
buildings in the short block be-
tween Wyoming and Linden.
The three-story at the end of
the block was demolished when
an inspection revealed the brick
wall on the Linden Street side
was bowed and in danger of im-
minent collapse.
The other, an apartment build-
ing between the razed building
and the dry cleaner, was severely
damaged. Five employees are
out of work and 17 tenants, busi-
ness and residential, were dis-
placed.
The LaNunziatas also have
dry cleaner businesses in King-
ston and Mountaintop.

By nowthe staff of the Sunday
Dispatch had hoped to be count-
ing ballots and tabulating results
for the second annual Best of
Greater Pittston readers choice
awards. But, after much consid-
eration, the staff concluded the
contest inappropriate this year
given the devastation and heart-
ache created by the Flood of
2011.
Many of the local businesses
whowouldhave beencontenders
for awards are currently out of
business and trying to find their
way back, said Dispatch Editor
Ed Ackerman. And with thou-
sands of Greater Pittston resi-
dents trying to put their homes
and their lives back together, we
decided to hold off on the awards
until next year when, hopefully,
everyone will feel more like cel-
ebrating.
Best of Greater Pittston
awards were presented in more
than 80 categories in 2010, the
inaugural year, with readers vot-
ing for their favorites from cof-
fee shops to chiropractors, from
pizza to pedicures.
We were very pleased with
the first one, Ackerman added,
and are committed to contin-
uing the contest annually. We got
a real sense that Dispatch readers
and award recipients truly en-
joyed it.
Ackerman said the Dispatch
had anticipated a robust re-
sponse this year with some busi-
nesses already campaigning
for votes but postponing the con-
test was the fair thing to do.
Best of Greater Pittston
postponed until next year

As a our community bravely
battles the effects of the devastat-
ing flood and our nation contin-
ues to heal from the anniversary
of 9/11, a Greater Pittston lad
summons his own brand of cour-
age and strength in a room at
Hershey Medical Center.
Eight year-old Justin Burns,
son of Maria Houston Burns, of
Avoca, and Jeff Burns, of Hard-
ing, has spent the past three
weeks in a setting to which he
has become unfortunatelyaccus-
tomed. At age two Justin had
open-heart surgery.
Four years later, a second
open- heart surgery was required
to address further complications.
Shortly after the second cardiac
surgery, he was diagnosed with
leukemia and underwent aggres-
sive chemotherapy for several
months, which appeared to put
the cancer in remission.
However, after several
months, the leukemia resur-
faced. Justin recently underwent
chemotherapy once again, as
well as radiation therapy to kill
the cancer cells.
These procedures paved the
way for him to receive a bone
marrow transplant. The trans-
plant was performed three weeks
ago, and he is slowly recuperat-
ing.
Justin Burns indomitable
spirit assures his family and
friends that he possesses the
strength to counter his illness.
Throughout his battle, the
youngster smiles, laughs and
jokes as if wholly unaffected by
his disease and its consequences.
Yet his battle cant be fought
alone.
Thus, to alleviate the mount-
ing financial burden fromhis re-
cent treatment, Justins family
and friends have organized a
benefit on his behalf.
On Saturday, October 1, from
2 p.m. to 10 the Lithuanian Citi-
zens Club at 7 Butler St. in Pitt-
ston has generously donated its
hall to host Jammin for Justin II.
Along with food, refreshments,
prize raffles and a Chinese auc-
tion, live music will be provided
by The Maruce Project, Mark
The Wolf Petrole, and karaoke
DJ Jimi the Hitman.
Admission at the door is $10
which will be used to defray
costs associated with Justins ill-
ness.
Any person or business who
wishes to donate food, raffle
prizes, gift baskets, etc. can con-
tact Kate Guilford at 606-8966
or drop off items on the morning
of the benefit.

Overnight GT Fabrication
went from under the radar to un-
der the river.
The high-powered metal fabri-
cation company owned by the
Tighe family was little known
before the flood, nowthe compa-
ny is getting publicity it would
rather not have.
Plant manager Geno Tighe
said the company did a lot of im-
portant work and was busy be-
fore the Flood of 2011devastated
the 35,000 square foot building
with 13 to 15 feet of water on
Bennett Street adjacent to Tow-
path Court off North Main in the
Junction.
Among other jobs, GT makes,
or made, sound barriers for De-
partments of Transportation in
Maryland and Ohio. Recently
they did work for the San Fran-
cisco Airport. And they have
contracts with local companies
like Cornell Industries in Moun-
taintop and Pride Manufactur-
ing.
Tighe said his family, his par-
ents and sister are all involved, is
proud to make things in this
country. They even brought
work here that had been in Chi-
na.
Were a dying breed in this
country, Geno said. A manu-
facturing company thats suc-
cessful, thats keeping work in
the US. We started to take off.
We were super busy. We had 30
employees. Guys were working
overtime and Saturdays. Now
theres no work at all. Nowwere
in jeopardy.
Geno said the company lost
over $2 million worth of equip-
ment. We just got a new
$80,000 machine. Were power
cleaning it, but we dont know if
thats going to work. We have a
high definition plasma cutter, a
$200,000 machine, it was ruin-
ed. Our powder coating line, a
finishing machine, was worth
$500 to $700 million. After the
2006 flood when the water was
only from one-and-one-half to
four feet in the plant, in what
turned out to be a futile gesture a
laser cutter was raised five feet.
Geno expected an insurance
adjuster to inspect the damage
today.
We dont know whats going
to happen, he said. Weve been
talking to Congressman Barletta
and Yudichak. They said theyd
do what they can. Mike Carroll
called. Jason Klush, Joe Mosko-
vitz from the city have been
working with us. Were fixing
what we can, but were kind of
stuck right now. We have to see
what kind of money we can get,
but ultimately we are going to
have to relocate. We cant stay
down here. This is our fourth
flood. Were trying to find a new
location. Were going to need
help with that. Its not like we
have 500 grand for a building sit-
ting in the bank. We need a
buyout or some kind of grant.
Thats what were trying right
now, but we dont really know.
Genos father Gene, 58, start-
ed the business in 1989. Its been
at the present location since
1994. This one hit my father
hard, Geno said. Its tough
when you lose everything you
worked for.

The Luzerne County Histor-
ical Society Museum in coop-
eration with the Polish Room
at Wilkes University announc-
es the opening of a new exhib-
it, The Polish in Luzerne
County. The exhibit is a cele-
bration of the history of the
Polish immigrants who came
to Luzerne County in the nine-
teenth and early twentieth cen-
turies. Thousands left their
partitioned homeland in search
of a better life, with many hop-
ing to return one day to a re-
stored Poland. Those who set-
tled here found work in the an-
thracite industry and establish-
ed the tight-knit communities
of Polonia. In the face of dis-
crimination because of their
poverty and language, these
immigrants worked hard, es-
tablished numerous churches
and fraternal organizations,
and preserved their language,
heritage and pride. They cele-
brated life through music,
dance and other traditions
which they passed on to their
children and grandchildren.
This celebration continues
through family ties and reli-
gious and cultural organiza-
tions and observances which
keep the Polish heritage and
connections with Poland alive
to this day.
The Polish in Luzerne Coun-
ty exhibit is made possible
through the generosity of the
Polish Room at Wilkes Uni-
versity, the Polish Union, the
Edith L. Reynolds Trust, and
the Polish Americans of Lu-
zerne County who shared their
family treasures and stories.
The exhibit will open at the
Luzerne County Historical So-
ciety Museum with a preview
reception on Friday, October 7
from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Admis-
sion is $15 per person. For res-
ervations call (570)823-6244,
ext. 3 or e-mail reserva-
tions@luzernehistory.org. The
Polish in Luzerne County will
remain on display through Ja-
nuary 31, 2012.
The Luzerne County Histor-
ical Society Museum is locat-
ed at 69 South Franklin Street
(behind the Osterhout Free Li-
brary), Wilkes-Barre. The Mu-
seum is open Tuesday through
Saturday from Noon to 4:00
pm. Admission is $4.00 for

One day Mike and Andy Par-
tash, entrepreneurs and brothers,
had five bar/restaurant business-
es. The next day they had three.
They lost Brews Brothers and
the River Street Ale House both
on River Street in Jenkins Town-
ship. Brews Brothers was inun-
dated with five feet of water. The
Ale House was more like five
feet under. Brews Brothers
opened 15 years ago. The Ale
House is about 10 years old.
About 14 employees worked in
the establishments
The Ale House popular with
beer aficionados and manned by
beer-savvy bartenders who
served a rotating variety of craft
and imported beers will not re-
open.
Mike explained why. One of
side foundation walls washed
out and pulled the main beam in
the basement that supports the
whole upstairs right out of the
beam pocket and it fell to the
floor. With all the weight in the
kitchen the floor dropped down
six inches. Its look like if you
walked on it the whole thing
would go right into the base-
ment. It will be demolished.
Someday wed like to rebuild
there, up higher.
The brothers also own Saints
and Sinners in Pittston, the Riv-
erside Caf in Wilkes-Barre and
Brews Brothers West in Lu-
zerne. The Monday night enter-
tainment form the Ale House
and the weekend entertainment
schedule from Brews Brothers
have been moved to Brews
Brothers West.
Mike said Brews Brothers will
be back. We were able to wash
out some stuff, other stuff we had
to throw out. We had to rip out
walls, insulation. We got power
back quickly. We got a good
start. Were going to redo the
whole bar area. We ordered new
windows, doors, they are going
to take three weeks. In three to
four weeks we should be ready to
go. Its going to be nice.
If there is a sliver lining, its a
move into downtown Pittston.
The brothers are considering
opening in Pittston in the old
Bottoms Up bar adjacent to the
Tomato Festival lot. They might
keep the Ale House name or go
with a tomato theme.
There might be some money
through SBAfor relocating your
business, so weve been talking
about moving into Pittston. As of
now theres not much help out
there. I dont know whats going
to happen until the Feds come
in, Mike said.
But the brothers are optimistic
about downtown Pittston. I
thinkit will happensooner rather
thanlater. It will get me out of the
flood plain. Believe me, its no
fun. In 2005 we got flooded. It
took five months to get the place
back together and it was flooded
a week later.
Ale House finished, but Brew Brothers will be back

Work is underway trying to bring the popular Brew Brothers back as soon as possible. The River
Street Ale House, however, is scheduled for demolition.

This story may be apocryphal, but it is
nonetheless illustrative of what lots of
people in West Pittston, Duryea and other
flood hit areas are dealing with. Repre-
sentatives of an agency, lets say the Red
Cross or Salvation Army, are delivering
food to a flood stricken area. They stop at
a home where an elderly man lives alone.
They give hima meal. He holds it, hesitat-
ingly. They ask him whats wrong and he
says, I dont have a fork.
The story illustrates how deep the loss
of property goes for many and how deep
the compassion of many goes for the
flood victims.
The stories of devastation and of volun-
teerism are legion. So many newspapers
and television and radio stations can only
scratch the surface of the depth of pain.
Many stories of homes, businesses and
personal possessions being lost get re-
ported, but many, many more are left un-
told.
The clean up of the Jewish Cemetery in
West Pittston by volunteers is one.
Stories of the rescue of horses, chickens
and other animals in the Falls and Harding
areas are others.
Then there is the story of the mayor of
Pittston Jason Kush, who stayed up most
if not all night Thursday gassing and oili-
ng pumps and generally working to save
city homes and businesses. Some of the
people he helped didnt even know who
he was.
Mayors are knownfor their abilitytofix
things, but not in the way Pittstons mayor
does.
He fixes real things with real hands.
We like to think of him as Americas
Handiest Mayor.
Who is Americas
Handiest Mayor?
If anyone asks us, Do you believe in angels? we will defi-
nitely say Yes!
We saw them in person.
They were summoned by our dear friend and neighbor Cindy
Lynch, a Kings College alumnus. Cindy called the Kings Col-
lege Volunteer Office, and Tammy Fritz and Lee Ann Mazurick
recruited and joined 12 students who arrived at our home,
equipped with full body coverage, masks and gloves and got to
work. They emptied all of our basement contents on to the front
lawn, ready for pickup. They worked so hard in the mud and
stench lifting heavy furniture, rugs, books, clothing, appliances
and on and on.
They would come to us every so often gently holding a family
photo or religious article, and say I thought you might want to
save this.
There were some who worked one day and others who worked
two. One of the students, Melissa, I believe, said Please let us
know if there is any way we could help you better.
Our angels of mercy are pictured above, and we are listing
their names, in no particular order. I hope we got them right.
Thanks to them and many other folks who are helping us get
through the event.

As the summer season comes to a close and the cold, crisp fall air
rushes in we gear up for many peoples favorite time of year apple
season. According to the Pennsylvania Apples Marketing Program,
Pennsylvania apple growers produce approximately 440 million
pounds of apples, making the state the fourth largest apple producer
in the country!
The health benefits of apples are numerous. Their skin contains a
great amount of vitamins and minerals including the B-complex, vi-
tamin C, calcium, iron, and potassium. Apples are also a good source
of fiber. Together, these nutrients may help reduce the risk of obesity,
diabetes, heart disease and unhealthy cholesterol levels. These nutri-
ents are also essential in maintaining good bone health.
Apples are very eclectic there are many different kinds. Cortland,
Gala, Red Delicious, Granny Smith, and McIntosh are some of the
more popular ones to name a few. Experiment and try themall to find
which ones are your favorites.
Apples are also found in many recipes. They provide a unique,
sweet flavor that enhances just about any food item. You can also
modify any recipe to increase the nutritional content. Here are some
delicious apple based creations youcan make at home. To begin, here
is how to purchase the right apple for the right use:
Fresh - McIntosh, Cortland, Jonathan, Red Delicious, Golden De-
licious, Stay Man, Wine Sap
Applesauce, Pies and Baking - Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Cor-
tland, Jonathan, Stay Man, Wine Sap, Rome Beauty
There are many ways to combine apples with other foods to create
a mouthful of flavor. Some examples include:
Sliced apples with 2 TBS of peanut butter
Slice apple rings, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on themand heat
in the oven
Add apple slices to your yogurt or salad
Remember to keep the skin on!
Apple Walnut Cake

The flood and its aftermath have dealt a devas-
tating blow to the Greater Pittston area. With this
disaster come challenges and opportunities. For
some, the challenge lies in just finding somewhere
to sleep, for others, the opportunity lies in being
able to reach out and help their friends, neighbors
or a total stranger andshowthemhowmuchtheyre
cared for.
Other than the time I was away at school, I have
called Wyoming Area home for 37 years. Ive nev-
er witnessed anything like this devastation and Ive
never been prouder to call this my home. Our com-
munityhas ralliedaroundeachother come together
in many ways.
Several days after the flood, I was contacted by
an older woman that had been a client for years.
She was very upset because she had no electricity
inher home. The contractor she hiredhadcome out
and repaired the lines, PP&L came and inspected
themand it was turned on. The next day a Borough
inspector showed up at her home and told her that
he should have been contacted before the electric
was turned on and that she owed him $60.00. Out
of fear, she paid the man. She contacted me be-
cause she didnt knowwhyshe hadtopaythis mon-
ey.
Over the course of last week, I learned that al-
though West Pittston Borough has waived all per-
mitting fees. They were allowing ONE contracted
inspector to charge homeowners for inspections.
This person is not paid by the Borough, he is paid a
commission on permits pulled. Therefore, it is in
his interest for people to take out as many permits
as possible.
To further complicate matters, I learned that not
only were people being charged to have their elec-
tricity turned back on, they were being told that ar-
eas in their homes that were not affected by the
flood would need to be redone. These were homes
and businesses that only three weeks ago were run-
ning perfectly. Now, entire areas of homes and
businesses need to be redone? And what happens
to people that dont have $60.00 to have their elec-
tric turned on? Would the electric be turned off?
The Borough issued another statement indicat-
ing they will allow outside inspectors for general
inspections, but onlytheir inspector canbe usedfor
advanced inspections.
They described an advanced inspection as any
inspection having to deal with water issues on the
first floor of a home. With over 240 homes affected
in West Pittston, that is basically the entire Bor-
ough. How is one person going to be able to ade-
quately service 240 homes?
Flooded homeowners have been burdened with
new and difficult decisions to make every day.
They are doing their due diligence by researching
companies, getting estimates and hiring qualified
people they are comfortable doing business with.
West Pittston is basically allowing one man to go
into homes, charge what he wants and tell people
what they have to do to their homes no matter
what anyone else says.
One of the many things that make our Country
great is a free market and capitalism. Our antitrust
laws are in place so that no one can price-fix or
create a monopoly at the expense of the consumer.
Why arent we allowing qualified inspectors into
the Borough to help the residents and compete for
their services? Why arent the residents allowed to
choose whom they let in their home? Where is a
second opinion?
The Borough inspector was on the local news
stating that he didnt ask for this. No one did, es-
pecially the people who lost everything. No one
should tell them who they have to hire. No one.
I wishall the floodvictims a speedyrebuildingto
life as you once knew it and better.
My Best,
Laura C. Dennis, Esq.

Dispatch Associate Editor
Jack Smiles didnt set out to
write a trilogy of breaker boy-to-
Baseball Hall of Fame books,
but with the release of his biog-
raphy of Hughestowns Bucky
Harris, he has accomplished just
that. The book Bucky Harris, a
Biography of Baseballs Boy
Wonder is published by McFar-
land & Company.
Smiles took more than two
years writing and researching
the book, which is 320 pages and
contains 33 photos, appendix,
notes, bibliography, and index.
On Thursday, thats this Thurs-
day, Sept. 29, beginning at 6:30
p.m. Smiles will be signing and
discussing the book at the Pitt-
ston Library.
While Harris is not technically
a local native he was born in
Port Jervis,
New Jersey,
in 1896 his
father
moved the
family to
Hughes-
town when
Bucky was
three.
In the 1920 census Bucky was
counted in Hughestown on Rock
Street and listed as a weighmas-
ter in a colliery. Just four years
later, at the age of 27, Bucky, aka
The Boy Wonder, as the man-
ager and second baseman of the
Washington Senators led the
team to its only World Series
championship in an upset so
stunning it was the inspiration
for the Broadway play Damn
Yankees.
Bucky also managed the 1947
World Champion Yankees in Yo-
gi Berras rookie season. The
book chronicles Buckys trans-
formation from an obscure
breaker boy with dirt under his
nails to the toast of our nations
capital where the president of the
United States was a guest at his
wedding and includes his stint as
a professional basketball player,
his early days as a baseball play-
er, and his role in the racial in-
tegration of both the Senators
and the Boston Red Sox.
As a basketball player Bucky
played for the Pittston Pitts in the
Penn State League from 1916 to
20 and participated in some
fierce battles with Scranton,
Wilkes-Barre and Nanticoke
teams and played against Hall of
Fame players.

The West Pittston Library has,
for the last 138 years, been a port
in the storm. Its been the stal-
wart presence ina constant sea of
change. Its more than a library,
some would say. Its a cultural
center, a Mecca for technologi-
cal needs, and a safe and wel-
coming haven for meeting
friends, hosting tutoring, doing
homework and simply, just be-
ing.
The West Pittston Library is a
judgment-free zone that caters to
every age, every generation, ev-
ery patron. Its the books that
first drew-in the masses, but its
the programs, seasonal offer-
ings, welcoming and knowl-
edgeable staff and general posi-
tive aura that keep them coming
back.
But, last week, the port shifted,
it faltered, and it came tumbling
down. We have all suffered in-
surmountable damage at the bul-
lying fists of Hurricane Lee, and
this library received no preferen-
tial treatment.
Despite a day of pre-flood
prep work which included the
lifting of thousands of books, pe-
riodicals, DVDs and computers
to higher ground, the fury of Lee
ran angrily and deepand took
more than 14,000 books with it.
What it didnt take couldnt
take is the positive energy and
optimistic future forecasting ex-
hibited by Library Director
Anne Bramblett Barr and her
staff.
Bramblett Barr emphasized:
This library will be back and it
will be better than ever. We are
currently taking steps toward es-
tablishing a temporary library
site in the gymnasiumof the for-
mer American Legion Build-
ingand it will be sooner rather
than later.
Bramblett Barr and her staff
take pride in being the place
where both adults and children
want to be. We always knew
when school was out for the day,
because kids would come tear-
ing through the door. Many of
these kids parents work, and we
had always been encouraging
them to become our after-school
ibrary-dwellers.
Bramblett Barr continues:
Our patrons, all generations of
patrons, have become part of our
extended family here. We dont
want them to go without com-
puter or Internet access or a quiet
place to read or study for very
long. They need us as much as
we look forward to having them.
The sooner we get back into the
community, the happier we will
all be.
The scant furniture and books
that were saved have been
washed, sterilized and stored, led
by dozens of community volun-
teers. The roughly 12,000 books
that were rescued were trans-
ported to a dry location and have
been meticulously sanitized and
disinfected and await relocation
with anticipation.
The recovery process of a pub-
lic institution with so many peri-
odicals is tedious and expensive.
Bramblett Barr is looking for-
ward to accepting the kindness
of donations from the tight-knit
community of loyal patrons as
well as those fromother libraries
within Luzerne and Lackawanna
Counties.
The West Pittston Library has
immediately launched a plan to
relocate to their temporary site
within the next month. Since
they have lost nearly everything
in the flood, they are in dire need
of purchasing replacements of
every type. To that end, in order
to restore much needed basic li-
brary services to the public, such
as: computer and internet use,
lending of materials and infor-
mation services, they ask the
public to consider donating
monetary contributions toward
this effort c/o The WP Library
Recovery Fund of the Luzerne
County Foundation, 140 Main
Street, 2nd Floor, Luzerne, PA
18709 or call 570-714-1570.
As the last, saturated remnants
of volumes of books were carted
away via wheelbarrows and
tucked into the arms of volun-
teers, something caught the
light. It was a book of Rudyard
Kipling poetry. Inside, fittingly,
was a poem entitled The Flood:
The rain it rains without a stay
In the hills above us, in the
hills;
And presently the floods break
way
Whose strength is in the hills.
The West Pittston Library has
been knocked down, but knows
its own strengths. Its strength is
in its community and in its pa-
trons. Its strength is in the re-
building. Its strength is in tomor-
row.

Question #1
An article in the
Duryea section of the
September 25, 1956,
issue of the Sunday
Dispatch noted that in
1892, Duryea was
known by what other
name?
1956 55 Years Ago
Mae OMalley, president of the new-
ly formed Washington-Wilson Consoli-
dated Parent Teacher Association in
Duryea, sent out a request that more
parents and teachers show interest in the
PTA and their programs. The Associ-
ation, lacking in new memberships, was
in danger of being abandoned and was
responsible for the merger of the two
school programs.
Pittston City Police Chief OBrien
had a gang war on his hands. A tip was
received that teenagers from Jenkins
Township and Pittston were gathering
for a fight on South Main Street and
some were reported to be carrying
switchblades. After being detained at
city hall, the Jenkins Township youths
were instructed to stay out of Pittston or
risk being arrested.
Pittston City Police reported that they
had seen several odd thefts over the
years some including bookkeeping ma-
chines, raw clams, chickens and radio
aerials, but one break-in stood out. One
young man owed several dollars to a
small grocery store. He broke into the
building through an office window,
found the billing records and marked
paid beside his name. He was caught
exiting the building.
Reporters at various Pittston Area
schools would report their respective
news to the Sunday Dispatch each week.
Patricia Harrington, Jo Ann Merli
and Mary Helen Danko were respon-
sible for Pittston High; Joyce Pace and
Elaine Pace, Exeter High School; Pat
Korecki and Edna Hartman, Wyoming
High; Ida Ralston, Mary Ann Atmo-
navage and Ann Marie DeLuca, Jen-
kins High School; Audrey Malinics and
Joan Bellomo, Dupont High; Mary
Mularkey and Eleanor Frati, Hugh-
estown High; Rosemary Wierbowski,
Nancy Bittinger, Ned Shaughnessy
and Pat Cumbo, West Pittston High;
Elaine Gillis and Suzanne Scoda, Du-
ryea High; Loretta Richel and Mary
Timlin, Avoca High; and Charlotte
Jacobowsky, Frances Hoover and
Louise Saunders, West Wyoming.
1966 45 Years Ago
Faculty members of the Wyoming
Area School District recommended that
all pupils from kindergarten through
sixth grade use common textbooks in
the development of reading skills. The
district adopted the Ginn Basic Reading
Program as a measure of standardizing
the reading skills. Dorothy Mitchell,
Joseph Knish, James Brokenshire and
Gail Young oversaw the implementation
of the program. To see some of the Ginn
primers written by Odille Ousley as well
as earlier issues go to http://
the_book_shelf.tripod.com/readers.html.
The Water Street Baptist Church
celebrated its 190th anniversary. Edith
Irving and Mrs. William Martin were
honored as the oldest living members.
The church was organized in 1776, the
year recognized as the beginning of the
First Baptist Church in Pittston. After
the Wyoming Massacre in July, 1778,
with members either killed or dispersed,
the church nearly broke apart. In 1785,
the church was re-born with an edifice
built and cornerstone laid on September
1865.
Mrs. Harold Memory entered the
West Pittston Borough Council meeting
with a petition in hand signed by 30
borough residents. She asked council to
find a remedy to the flooding that had
consistently occurred over a 30-year
period on North and Fifth streets.
Avoca Borough residents felt that their
Squire Thomas M. Golden held some
type of record. In his 24 years as judge,
he had performed 406 weddings on
couples from all over Northeastern
Pennsylvania. One couple, he remem-
bered, flew into Avoca airport from
Philadelphia, arranged for him to per-
form the nuptials and took the next
flight out.
The magnitude 9.2 earthquake of 1964
in Anchorage, Alaska, prompted Duryea
borough officials, Joseph Rava, George
Murman and Mayor John B. Salek to
consider reorganizing the Duryea Civil
Defense Program. During a Luzerne
County meeting, the men viewed a film
that stated ravaged communities affected
by the earthquake did not have any pro-
grams to help devastated victims. The
men felt re-establishing a Civil Defense
Program in Duryea would benefit if
disaster struck their community. Before
the creation of Federal Emergency Man-
agement Association or FEMA on
March 31, 1979, the responsibility for
handling disasters in the United States
was shared by a wide variety of short-
lived and frequently changing depart-
ments, agencies, and organizations the
Civil Defense Program being one.
1976 36 Years Ago
Jim Casey Barrett, or Mr. Base-
ball as he was known to many kids in
Pittston, passed away. Little Leaguers
and their parents all knew Mr. Barrett as
a fixture, coaching the Moose Club and
First Bank teams and taking the 1955
and 1963 teams to state finals. Earlier in
the year, the league presented Mr. Bar-
rett with a plaque commemorating his
25 years of service.
The first Italian American Citizens
Club Golf Tournament was held at Ema-
non Country Club. Joe Jumper took the
trophy shooting a 74 winning by match
of scorecards. John Corridoni, John
Yakobitis, and John Salerno tied at 74.
Dave Ball won first flight.
Susan Sgarlat was named Wyoming
Area Homecoming Queen. She along
with her court Ann Greskiewicz, Don-
na Lippi, Joann Montagna and Mary
Claire Chairge were looking forward to
the Wyoming Area Homecoming Game.
Receiving the highest qualifying score
on the Preliminary Aptitude test in
Pennsylvania, Joanne Marie Russavage
was among 15,000 semi-finalists of the
nations most academically talented high
school seniors competing for the Na-
tional Merit Scholarship Program. The
test was administered to over one mil-
lion students in approximately 17,000
schools nationwide. Beginning in 1955,
the program currently benefits approxi-
mately 50,000 qualifying students.
1986 26 Years Ago
A full year after Gloria, a category 4
hurricane dumped more than 7 inches of
rain in a 24-hour period on the Eastern
Seaboard the residents of Greater Pitt-
ston were awaiting monetary assistance
specified by the Act25/Act88 grant
program. The Department of Welfare
cut disaster relief from $15 to 7 million
prompting legislators to intervene and
ask for reconsideration of denied claims.
Hurricane Gloria formed during the
1985 Atlantic hurricane season Gloria
reached Category 4 status near the Ba-
hamas, but weakened by the time it
made landfall on North Carolinas Outer
Banks at Hatteras.
It was the first competition of the
season and the Wyoming Area March-
ing Band did their very best by captur-
ing first place in Group II. Directed by
Don Butz and Cathy Clamar and front-
ed by drum majors Sabrina Stach and
Beth Jones, the band placed fourth out
of ten bands in overall performance at
the tournament held in Berwick.
Ann Sleboda, Kay Haddock, Rose
Rosiak, Ann Wassil, Rose Pavlick,
Ann Tirpak, Susan Chromey, Ann
Andruchek, Margaret Pesta, Mary
Kundla, William Kossuth, Mary Kos-
suth, Susan Tkach and Eva Shemo all
of St. John the Baptist Slovak Church
were busy making thousands of deli-
cious pirohy the old fashioned way for
their 10th annual bazaar.
Question #2
How many ways are there to spell
pirohy, the potato or sauerkraut filled
dumpling?
1996 16 Years Ago
A memorial tree honoring all living
and deceased members of the Ladies
Auxiliary to Przybytek-Kundlas Post
4909 V.F.W. was planted on the lawn of
the Dupont Borough building. Ann
Marie Milon OMalley, Michael Row-
an, Ed Strucke, Marg Strucke, Pat
Buchan, Michelle Buchan, Clara Vida
Dulney, Doris Goula, Fran Krupnik,
Mary Ziantz, Lottie Maleski, Bill and
Mary Kossuth, Charles Rydzy, John
Buchan and Auxiliary President Stella
Kotula participated in the event.
Answer #1
The article in the Duryea section of
the Sunday Dispatch on September 25,
1956 noted that in 1892 Duryea was
known as Red Ball, Pennsylvania, and
that Stephenson Street was known as
Red Ball Street. It also stated, good
fishing existed at Cianellis Farm on
Foote Avenue and at Red Bridge Pond
and Blue Pond, each divided by the
Lehigh Valley railroad tracks. Simpsons
Patch was once known as Shady Grove
Park and the American Legion Post 585
had one of the best stadiums in the area.
Answer #2
Pirohy can also be spelled pierogi,
perogi, pierogy, perogy, pyrohy, or pyr-
ogy dependent upon ones nationality
and customs.
Courage doesnt always roar. Some-
times courage is the little voice at the
end of the day that says Ill try again
tomorrow.

West Pittston is a leader among
local municipalities in a category
theyd rather not be on top of. Pre-
liminary figures provided by the
borough show 880 homes and 26
businesses were affected by the
flood. Among the homes 628 ex-
perienced basement flooding, 236
first floor flooding and 16 second
floor flooding. Of those 15 were
listed as unsafe for entry until fur-
ther inspection and two were rec-
ommended for demolition.
Duryea was number two on the
hit list with 339 homes affected,
108 with basement and 192, first
floor flooding. At least 12 houses
had foundation damage. The other
39, thoughtheywere not damaged,
are listed as inaccessible, a FEMA
term, which means they were in-
accessible during the high water.
Those 39 were on Coxton Road.
Three homes are confirmed as
unsafe. There are orange Xs
painted on them, said Robert
Webb the boroughs EMAmanag-
er. They are marked no entry.
They will likely have to be demol-
ished.
Six businesses were affected:
The Lower Lackawanna Pump
Station, Johns Service, and JDs
Deicing in the Coxton section and
on Main Street Pionteks Funeral
Home, Lizzas Garage and Cap n
Taps Bar.
In Jenkins Township 91 homes
were affected, five basement only,
73 first floor and 13 second floor.
Six got major structural damage.
The townshipdoesnt have pow-
er to order demolition, Webb said.
Thats up to FEMA. Were saying
under our construction codes they
are unsafe and cant be inhabited.
They could be reconstructed but
then theyd have to be inspected by
township.
Three businesses, Magione Ser-
vice, Milazzo and River Street Ale
house have structural damage.
Snap Tools, Caf Italia, Mesko
Motors, and Brews Brothers were
also affected.
In Exeter Township 36 single
family homes, one multi-family
building, 37 mobile homes and
three businesses were flooded, a to-
tal of 77. Among the single family
homes damage is listed as major in
29, minor in eight, while five were
destroyed. Among the mobile
homes five had major damage and
32 were destroyed.
Exeter Borough estimates 28-30
homes affected on Susquehanna
Avenue with basement and first
floor flooding.

More than 1400
homes damaged
Some 60 local businesses
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
ceding, the Bank of America branch op-
posite PennMart on the hard-hit corner
was backinbusiness thanks totwomobile
banks with two teller windows and four
ATMs which corporate brought in and
parked in the banks parking.
Manager Louise Balbach said she
couldnt talkabout the damage tothe bank
building but is happy they got back in
business quickly. The mobile arrived
Wednesday and by Friday we were fully
functional, tellers and everything, she
said.
At the Agolinos Char Grill Restaurant
a half century old family enterprise next
to the bank on Luzerne proprietor Joe
Agolino said they tried to fight the river
and lost.
We were trying to get stuff out of the
basement at 10 after 7 in the morning. We
just couldnt keep up with it. We didnt get
in here again until Saturday night and it
was complete devastation. We had a 14-
foot walk-in cooler tipped right off its
base. Freezers upside down. Booths all
over the place. In 72 we had the same
thing but we had only one building.
Since then Agolinos added a dining
room. That was flooded this time.
Agolino said he is grateful for the help
he and everyone in West Pittston got. Ev-
erybody has just been wonderful. The
football team, the borough, everybody.
The support has just been tremendous.
Agolino had 35 employees. He couldnt
keep themall on. Some are working at his
dinner restaurant, Pazzo on Rt. 315, which
is trying to fill the void by being open for
lunch from11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Some of my workers got hit and they
have their own problems. So far they are
all sticking with me.
Agolino said the worst of the clean up
was getting the food out. People were
getting sick. They had to take breaks. We
filled up three 30-yard dumpsters and a
20-yard.
Agolino said he will reopen. Now we
have to do everything to code. New
plumbing, new electric, its a big under-
taking but Im coming back better than
ever. We got a new design. The architect
was here today. The furniture was ordered
today because lead time is eight weeks.
Were trying for eight weeks. Thats me
talking, but the contractor cant commit.
You gotta live, you know. Ill be back. Its
going to a beautiful place again. But if it
happens again, I dont know.
Further down Luzerne the office of Po-
lit and Costello Dentistry was wiped out.
On Wednesday, Dr. Tony Polit said,
When they said 34 to 35 feet we elevated
everything to the counters, computers, in-
struments, except for the chairs.
On Friday they were on the TV news
whentheyrode a boat over10feet of water
to retrieve their computer server from the
second floor. We saved the brains of
business, but nothing else was salvaged.
The building was gutted and the den-
tists will not be reopening in West Pittston
where they have been for 14 years. They
are moving to 457 North Main Street in
Pittston, Suite 100, in the old Insalacos
supermarket plaza, at the corner of New
and Main.
The dentists hope to open there in mid-
November. It will be double the size of the
West Pittstonoffices andhave state-of-the
art technology.
In the meantime Polit and Costello are
serving all their patients at two temporary

On Rt. 92 in Exeter Borough

Gina Malsky said she wants her busi-
ess to be a story that doesnt show the
mud, the muck and the tears.
Malsky opened a new preschool she
alls the Work of Art Learning Center in
he Presbyterian Church in West Pittston
with 17 three and four-year old students.
wodays after the openingthe churchwas
ooded. Though the classroomwas on an
pper floor the church was severely dam-
ged and couldnt be used.
Malsky said as the water rose a parent
alled and asked, whats your flood pol-
icy? I had to laugh. We didnt have one
because the church had not been flooded
before.
But Malsky and her teachers Francene
Carabetta and Jen Vogel went into high
gear even as Malsky contended with
damage to her home on Spring Street in
West Pittston and moved the school to
St. Barbaras Parish in Exeter in the for-
mer St. Anthonys church hall.
They missed only three days of classes
and all 17 students came back.

As the waters receded last
week, youth at the Greater Pitt-
ston YMCA jumped into action
to help families ravaged by the
flood.
Children in the YMCABefore
and After Care Programhosted a
two-week clothing drive to help
area flood victims. Gently used
clothing and baby items such as
diapers, formula, wipes and
shampoo were collected.
I am so proud of the chil-
dren, said Kimberlee Powers,
Before and After Care assistant
group supervisor. The children
truly spread the word about the
drive. Most of the parents donat-
ed.
A donation box was setup in
the lobby of the YMCA for do-
nated items. More than 100 bags
of clothing and other essential
items were collected from staff,
parents and YMCA employees.
The children also decorated
the clothing drive boxes, said
Powers. Their hand prints are
literally all over the boxes.
Fifty children participated in
the drive.
The flood truly affected the
children, said Suzanne Alba,
child care director. Some of our
child care families were affected
and the children knew many
friends and family members in
the flood. This was their way of
helping to bring comfort to the
victims.
The clothing drive was one of
manycharitable causes the Grea-
ter Pittston YMCA participates
in every year.
Our focus is social responsib-
ility, said Craig Lukatch, YM-
CA executive director. This is
our community. Our members
and staff, literally our family,
was touched by the devastation.
This was just one small way we
were able to help and bring com-
fort to the flood victims.

Police Warning

They explained there were new
changes to Medicare and after
getting information from the un-
suspecting victims, they were
able to con theminto giving their
checking account information or

West Pittston took the biggest
hit in the entire area where nearly
630 homes had basements flood-
ed, over 230 homes had first
floor flooding, 16 homes had
second floor damage, 50 homes
had structural damage and 26
businesses were displaced.
Several structures have been
or are being considered for dem-
olition.
One structure razed was locat-
ed on Luzerne Avenue. The
building housed eight apart-
ments and two businesses that
included C.R. Tan. The tanning
salon had removed as much
equipment and furnishings as
possible, but had to leave an
$18,000tanningboothaccording
to Bernice Remus, co-owner of
the salon with her husband
Chuck.
Michael LaNunziata, owner of
Crest Cleaners, took a big hit
during the flood. He owns all the
buildings fromCrest Cleaners to
the nowrazed C.R. Tan location.
LaNunziata was unsure how it
was all going to shake out finan-
cially in regards to razing the
building. He was going to have
to consult with his insurance
company as well as FEMA.
West Pittston Mayor Tony De-
nisco wanted to assure residents
that all debris will be hauled
away at the expense of the bor-
ough. We wont stop until its all
gone, said Denisco.

file FEMAforms as soon as pos-
sible. He also thanks everyone
for their patience and coopera-
tion over the last few weeks.

BestofL u c k to All Area Tea m sThis Sea son.
Fifteen-year old Stephanie Jal-
len of Harding has been named
one of seven female athletes na-
tionwide to the National Para-
lympics Alpine Ski Team by Ke-
vin Jardine, Director of the Unit-
ed States Olympic Committee
(USOC) High Performance, Pa-
ralympic Alpine Skiing. The Na-
tional Paralympics Alpine Ski
Team is a division of the USOC.
Stephanie, a sophomore honor
student at Wyoming Area High
School, has been active in vari-
ous alpine skiing events over the
past seven-years, attaining inter-
national rankings in both slalom
and giant slalom.
This is a great honor, Stepha-
nie commented, and a huge step
towards my goal of qualifying to
represent the United States in the
International Paralympics in So-
chi, Russia, in 2014. I am ex-
tremely grateful to so many won-
derful people who have helped
me along the way.
Imvery proud of Stephanie,
said Deb Jallen, Stephanies
mom. Her dedication and com-
mitment have been remarkable.
She maintains an extremely rig-
orous physical training regimen
all year round under the direction
of physical trainer, Ernie Baul at
Dankos All American Fitness
Center, Plains.
Stephanie travels by herself to
venues in Colorado, Montana,
Oregon, Utah, Alaska, Austria,
etc. to compete against some of
the worlds top athletes. While
traveling, she attends to her high
school class work to maintain
honor role status. Quite an ac-
complishment for a 15-year old
young lady, Deb added.
This newphase inStephanies
career brings with it major finan-
cial challenges, continued Deb.
She will nowbe participating in
worldwide competitions and the
USOC provides minimal finan-
cial assistance, which helps; but
Stephanie still faces expenses
that far exceed money provided.
So far, a few valued friends
have worked long hours through-
out the years struggling to raise-
money through a variety of fund
raising activities. To date, this
group of dedicated people has re-
ceived assistance from a select
number of supporters. However,
theneedfor financial aidhas now
been magnified with Stephanies
selection to the National Team.
It is our earnest hope that this
honor that has been afforded to
Stephanie will encourage the
northeastern Pennsylvania com-
munity, both corporate and indi-
vidual, to lend financial support
to her efforts, Deb said. She
will needfirst-class equipment to
compete in a level playing field
against the worlds top athletes,
and air travel expenses are huge,
just to name a couple of expense
categories.
A fund has been established to
help Stephanie in her quest. The
Jallens are hoping the communi-
ty will rally behind Stephanie by
sending tax-deductible dona-
tions to SJPF, Inc., c/o Cross Val-
ley Federal Credit Union, PO
Box 597, Wilkes-Barre, PA
18703. For further information or
to make a donation via PayPal,
please go tohttp://stephaniejal-
len.org/. SJPF, Inc. is non-profit
501(c)(3) status.
Wouldnt it be wonderful to
see Stephanie standingonthe po-
dium in Russia in 2014, con-
cluded Deb, with the United
States National Anthemplaying
in the background?

the U.S. Olympic Committee, is
dedicated to becoming the world
leader in the Paralympic sports
movement and promoting excel-
lence in the lives of people with

After suffering their first
loss of the season last Friday
night at Crestwood, Pittston
Areas defense took the field
yesterday afternoon with a
chip on its shoulder.
But Despite playing well
defensively, the Patriots came
up just short against the un-
defeated Dallas Mountain-
eers by a score of 21-14 on
Homecoming Weekend at
Charley Trippi Stadium in
Yatesville.
The Patriots shocked the
Mountaineers with a 96-yard
drive spanning across two
quarters.
They took over on their own
6-yard line with 2:59 remain-
ing in the first quarter after a
booming Dallas punt, and
capped the drive with 8:57 re-
maining in the first half,
when senior quarterback An-
thony Schwab connected with
his most dangerous receiver,
Jordan Houseman, for a 20-
yard touchdown capping the
drive. Chris Musto remained
perfect on PATs this season
and the Patriots lead was 7-0.
Pittston Area used a bal-
anced attack throughout the
drive. Big passing plays by
Schwab and hard-nosed run-
ning by Marc Romanczuk,
Justin Wilk, and Kyle Gattuso
gave the Patriots six first
downs on the drive.
Theyre capable of doing
that all the time, PA Head
Coach Mike Barrett said of
the opening drive. We are
trying to get them convinced
that not one guy can take one
play off. Every single guy has
got to come on hard every
play.
Dallas responded quickly,
tying the game at 7-7 after
just six plays from scrim-
mage.
The drive concluded with a
5-yard touchdown run by
Mountaineers fullback Keifer
Rogers. Aaron Napkora add-
ed the PAT with 6:24 remain-
ing in the first half.
Both teams had trouble
moving the ball on their re-
maining first-half drives.
However, Dallas got it togeth-
er when they took over from
their own 49 with 56 seconds
remaining in the first half.
Two solid rushes and an 11-
yard pass play from quarter-
back Ryan Zapoticky set up a
first down from the Patriots
25 with just seconds remain-
ing.
The Patriots secondary
wouldnt allow the Mountain-
eers to take the lead into the
locker room as Mike Stankos-
ki and Tyler Roman came up
with huge plays defensively
setting up fourth-and-3 from
the 22 with time for one play.
Zapoticky then threw an in-
complete pass, but laundry
from the referee allowed the
Mountaineers to have one
more untimed play. The first-
year Dallas signal-caller had
a receiver open in the end
zone, but Houseman came
flying in, swatting the ball
away to keep the game dead-
locked headed into halftime.
Dallas threatened to take
the lead early in the third
quarter. But with less than
eight minutes remaining, the
Patriots defense stopped the
Mountaineers for three con-
secutive plays setting up
fourth-and-3 from the PA 38-
yard line. The Mountaineers
opted to go for it on fourth
down, but Joe Harth sacked
Zapoticky , and Patriots took
over on downs.
Later in the quarter, the
Mountaineers found them-
selves with third-and-5 on
their own 45-yard line. Za-
poticky dropped back and let
the ball fly, but Tyler Roman
picked off his pass before it
even got close to its intended
receiver. Roman ran back the
interception 22 yards and the
Patriots took over first-
and-10 from the Dallas 25.
Pittston Area cashed made
the Zapoticky pick hurt when
Wilk broke loose for a 13-
yard touchdown. Musto again
added the PAT and the Patri-
ots lead was 14-7 with 10:47
remaining in the game.
When you see blood, you
have to go for the knockout
blow, Barrett said. I dont
think we went for the blow.
The Mountaineers answer-
ed by marching down the
field to tie.
With 4:32 remaining in the
game, Zapoticky connected
with Don Behm for a 7-yard
touchdown. Napkora convert-
ed the PAT, and the game was
tied 14-14.
The Dallas defense stymied
the Patriots offense for the re-
mainder of the game, while
its offense responded by tak-
ing the 21-14 lead on yet an-
other touchdown pass form
Zapoticky. A Zapoticky to Ja-
son Simonovitch 31-yard
touchdown was all the Moun-
taineers would need as the
Patriots failed to get any clos-
er in the contest.
Schwab played well in a
losing effort for the Patriots,
with a 7-for-11 night for 72
yards and a touchdown. Joe
Starinsky led the Patriots in
receptions with four for 38
yards while Romanczuk was
the leading rusher with 53
yards on 14 carries.
Joe Giambra led the Patri-
ots in tackles yesterday after-
noon with 12. Josh Blaker,
Dave Mawson, Nick Dougal,
Mike Hughes, Roman,
Houseman and Starinsky also
had solid games defensively.
Coach Barrett was happy
with the way his defense
played and noted the im-
provement from last week.
I am very happy with the
way our kids played, Barrett
said. We worked hard on
tackling all week and I
thought we tackled an awful
lot better. We were a defen-
sive football team today.
The Patriots fell to 2-2 on
the season after winning their
first two games. The schedule
doesnt get any easier as they
travel to Hazleton Area to
take on the Cougars on Friday
night.

The first-half statistics
showed Old Forge in total con-
trol of its Lackawanna Football
Conference crossover matchup
with Honesdale.
The scoreboard showed oth-
erwise.
Still the Blue Devils were
able to escape the rain-soaked
Wayne Highlands with a 19-6
win over the winless Hornets on
Friday night behind a dominat-
ing defense and the running of
senior Lou Febbo.
Old Forge (3-1) ran 36 plays
in the first half compared to 13
for Honesdale (0-4), and out-
gained the Hornets by 147
yards, holding their hosts to mi-
nus-20 yards total offense in the
first half. Yet the Blue Devils
led just 6-0 at intermission after
two15-play drives stalled inside
the five. Old Forge also fumbled
on first-and-goal from the 4 on
its third possession of the game.
The Blue Devils opened the
game with nine consecutive
rushing plays before Colin Ca-
rey found Febbo on a screen
pass for 15 yards on fourth-
and-5 from the Honesdale 35.
But six plays later, the Hornets
stuffed Carey on fourth down
fromthe 4 with 3:05 showing on
the first quarter clock.
Old Forge held Honesdale on
three downs and again stayed on
the ground, rushing 15 times for
50 yards before Febbo was stop-
ped on fourth-and-5 from the
Hornets 8.
Brian Tomasetti caused a
fumble on the next Honesdale
possession which the Blue Dev-
ils recovered at the Hornets 15,
but Old Forge gave the ball right
back, fumbling four plays later.
Joey Ciuccio got the ball back
for the Blue Devils when the se-
nior defensive end ripped the
ball loose fromHonesdale quar-
terback Kevin Miller. Old Forge
recovered on the Honesdale 7,
and three plays later, Febbo fi-
nally hit paydirt with a 5-yard
score with 31 seconds left in the
first half. The PAT was missed,
but Old Forge led 6-0.
Febbo rushed for 70 yards on
21 carries in the opening 24
minutes as the Blue Devils held
the ball for 19:18 of the first
half.
Honesdale moved into Old
Forge territory on its first two
drives of the second half, but
both times Ciuccio and Tony
DeSando made plays to stop the
Hornets.
On third-and-17 from the Old
Forge 44, Ciuccio sniffed out a
screen pass, and along with Co-
ry Stuart and Anthony Trotta
made the stop after just a 4-yard
gain to force a punt. Then on
fourth-and-5 from the Old
Forge 48, Ciuccio and DeSando
stuffed tailback Kyle Carney in
the backfield for a 5-yard loss.
Ciuccio and DeSando com-
bined to finish with 12 tackles,
including seven for a loss, three
sacks and a forced fumble.
The Blue Devils stayed on the
ground with Febbo and Toma-
setti, and the latter scored from
5-yards out with 2:05 left in the
third quarter to put Old Forge
ahead, 12-0, after the two-point
run failed.
A sack by DeSando on Ho-
nesdales next possession
forced another Hornets punt
which traveled just six yards to
set up the Blue Devils next
score.
Two plays after the punt, Feb-
bo powered his way in for a 5-
yard touchdown. Matt Mancuso
drilled the extra-point, and Old
Forge led 19-0.
Febbo finished with131yards
and two touchdowns on 30 car-
ries while Tomasetti checked in
with 40 yards and a TD on nine
carries. Carey completed his
only two passes of the night for
29 yards, including a 14-yarder
in the second quarter to Shane
Schuback for the sophomores
first career catch.
The Old Forge defense held
Honesdale to 93 yards rushing
on 33 carries and 25 yards pass-
ing on a 3-for-11 night for Mill-
er. The Hornets had scored a
combined 82 points and thrown
for seven touchdowns in its pre-
vious two games.
The Blue Devils host arch-ri-
val Riverside on Friday night at
Veterans Memorial Stadium.

WA wrestling clinic to benefit flood victims
The annual Yatesville bocce
league clambake and tourna-
ment was held last Sunday. Be-
fore the event began a moment
of silence and remembrance
was taken in honor of Fosco
Santi who we lost this year. This
season was held in memory of
the legendary bocce player.
The tournament was won by
the team of Doc Campanella,
Pat Chiumento, Erald Biondi
and Atty. Joe Coviello. Finish-
ing second was the team of
Charlie Adonizio, Jon Campa-
nella, Ed Reid and Mr. Consis-
tent, Ralph Campanella. The
third place team was Tony Re-
ino, Paul Minichelli, Pat Wil-
liams and Pete Anelli.
As is our tradition the league
would like to thank Borough of
Yatesville for use of the park
and the Sunday Dispatch for of-
fering coverage of the league to
the Greater Pittston area. We
would also like to acknowledge
our team sponsors: JetSurge
Power Cleaning, Blandina
Apartments, Atlas Realty, the
Dyller Law Firm, Roberts Re-
pairs, Bassler Equipment, Old
Forge Chiropractic, KWIK N
EZ Mart and our league cham-
pions Cuzs Susquehanna Bar
& Grill.
It was widely acknowledged
that the most consistent player
all season was Ralph Campa-
nella and our two most im-
proved players were Dr. Steve
Mariani and Charlie Adonizio.
Without the tireless work of
Guy DePascale Jr., Paul Santa-
relli, Gene Cardoni, Henry Ro-
deghiero, Joe Zambetti and
Guy DePascale Sr. the courts
would not be in the super condi-
tion they are every week as we
begin play.
A special thanks to Guy De-
Pascale Sr., our league sched-
uler and statistician and Phil
Bosha, our correspondent with
the Sunday Dispatch.
