My hairs mostly gone, my stomachs
soft,
but Ive found I dont look too fat
in the right sport coat, or loose fitting
shirt
and, you know, Im thankful for that.
For that and so many such little things
Im thankful more than you know.
Those things that make life worth
living
like full moons, gentle breezes, even
snow.
Well, maybe not snow as I ponder the
thought.
Just a little at Christmas will do
quite nicely, followed by an early
spring thaw.
Id be thankful for that, wouldnt you?
Im thankful for children, every single
one
specially those who in church amuse
me
when I should be paying attention or
praying.
I just hope the Good Lord will excuse
me.
Im thankful for family and friends, of
course
but does that really have to be said?
Instead, Im thinking of more random
things
such as fruits that are colored red.
For strawberries, raspberries, apples
and cherries
I thank Thee so, my Lord.
For creating us with mouths for tast-
ing
then providing such a smorgasbord.
My late sister taught me to sing Gods
praises
as a way of getting to sleep.
Start thanking Him, she said, and the
list never ends.
Its much better than counting sheep.
I took her advice and even gave it a
title.
Thank you Therapy is its official
name.
If you will give it a try on this very
night,
I guarantee your life wont be the
same.
There is no trick to it, all you must do
is pick any topic and start.
Thank God for whatever pops into
your head
and youll wind up with a thankful
heart.
Start with the turkey, as good a place
as any.
Be thankful for such a treat.
Then thank God for the stuffing, the
cranberries, the potatoes,
the mashed as well as the sweet.
But dont stop there with your thank-
fulness.
Let yourself get carried away.
Thank God for the butcher, the farm-
er, the baker.
Thank everyone who helped make this
day.
Take nothing for granted, a dear friend
has taught me;
youre so lucky just to have clean
water.
If you dont thank God after every
shower, he said,
Perhaps from now on you oughter.
Im thankful for my readers, all you
kind folks
who read these ramblings all the time,
who I know will forgive a mistake
here and there,
or that last, horrible, rhyme.
Im thankful to live here in Northeast
Pa.
where most of my life has been spent
amongst mountains and fields, and
rivers and streams
and people who are Heaven sent.
Here in this valley where our ances-
tors toiled,
weve so much to be thankful for:
the seasons, the churches, the schools,
the gardens,
the traditions and, so much more.
My dear sister was right as she so
often was:
the words thank you are what we
should say
at the beginning and end of every
prayer we pray
and not only on Thanksgiving Day.
Ed Ackerman, optimist
eackerman@psdispatch.com
Always start with a thankful heart

Retired Pittston Area teacher Jim Nor-
ris was the house guest of someone who
been infamously in the news lately. Forty
years ago as a grad student and a graduate
assistant football coach at Penn State,
Norris lived in the basement of Jerry
Sanduskys home.
Norris who was the quarterback for
the first Pittston Area football team in
1966 met Sandusky at Boston Universi-
ty in the late 1960s where Norris was a
scholarship football player and Sandusky
was an assistant coach.
He was at BU one year then he went
back to Penn State, Norris said. When
he was at BUwe had a lot of Pennsylvania
players on the team and he had the Penn-
sylvania players over his house and his
wife cooked dinner for us.
Norris said when he told Sandusky he
always liked Penn State, Sandusky sug-
gested he go to grad school there.
At Penn State, Norris was one of 15 or
so grad assistants to the football teamand
he lived in Sanduskys finished basement.
He helped out the grad assistants,
Norris said. Thats 40 years ago about
71, 72. The ADnowwas a tackle on that
team. Sandusky and his wife Dotty had a
little boy then, and while I was there, they
adopted a little girl.
Norris said his last contact with Sand-
usky was a phone call 15 to 20 years ago.
In1998whenNorris went withhis sontoa
Penn State camp he stopped at Sanduskys
house and talked to his wife. That was his
last contact with the family. If its true,
and it sounds bad, Norris said. I knew
Dr. Jekel not Mr. Hyde. The Sandusky I
knewwould go out of his way to help any-
body. And anybody who knewhimclose-
ly and personally back then would say
that. Thats the best way I can describe it if
its true, like Jekel and Hyde. Im
shocked. Its a tragedy. Unbelievable.
Norris: if Sandusky story true its Jekel and Hyde

O
n October 29 the Univer-
sity of Georgia and Flor-
ida football teams
played for the 91st time. Two
days earlier the Florida Times-
Union ran a feature story called
90 Games - 90 Players which
ranked the 90 best players from
the first 90 games of what is
known as the Border State
Showdown.
So ,who was No. 1?
Pittstons own Charley Trippi.
Trippi, who was voted the
Greatest Local Athlete of the
20th Century by the Times Lead-
er in 1999, starred at old Pittston
High in football and track in the
1930s.
Reached by phone at his home
in Athens, Georgia, Trippi who
was an All-American and Max-
well Award winner at Georgia in
the 1940s was surprised to
learn that he had been ranked as
the best player of the series.
Thats great, Trippi said. In
the three years I played against
Florida, we never lost.
And how.
The first time Trippi played
against Florida in 1942, Georgia
won 75-0.
Trippi went into the Army af-
ter the 42 school year and didnt
play against Florida again until
1945 when Georgia won 35-0.
The 1946 game was 32-14.
In the three games combined,
Trippi rushed for 412 yards,
passed for 198 yards, and ac-
counted for 10 touchdowns. In
the 75-0 game in 1942 he was 2-
of-3 passing for two touch-
downs, rushed for 80 yards and
two touchdowns, and returned
an interception 48 yards for
touchdown.
Trippi said the game was an
aberration. That never should
have happened, he said. Flor-
ida laid down and we just had an
unusual day. Everybody that tou-
ched the ball scored. We always
played good down there. Nor-
mally Georgia had as many fans
down there as Florida did. It was
a real happy occasion for fans.
In the 1945 game, Trippi
rushed for 239 yards, an SEC
single-game record at the time.
In 1946, he ran for 93 yards, was
7-of 7 passing for 126 yards and
accounted for TDs running, re-
ceiving and passing.
Herschel Walker was no. 2 on
the top 90 list. Trippis teammate
Frank Sinkwich was fourth.
Any of those players from that
time could have been number
one, Trippi said. Tim Tebow is
sixth.
Trippi, 90 next month and do-
ing well after recent bypass sur-
gery, still goes to Georgia home
games. You better believe it.
Im up in press box.
Trippi was also an All-Amer-
ican baseball player at Georgia.
He played baseball in the Army
in the outfield with two Major

Nik Allen, 56, is described by
friends as man who plays the
harmonica like hes on fire.
Hes also a man with stage 3
cancer and today and tonight his
musical friends including lo-
cal legends String Ray, Mike
Miz, Brett Alexander and Ge-
orge Wesley are playing a ben-
efit show for him at Bar on Oak
beginning at 1 p.m..
Its fitting to have a benefit
for Nik as he played benefits
whenever he could over the
years.
Mike Ragu Ragulski who
is a percussionist with the Au-
gust West one of the 10 band
scheduled today is a good
friend to Nik and helped orga-
nize the gig.
If you dont know Nik, heres
a brief description, Ragulski
said. Nik is a kick-butt har-
monica playin man, a father of
three, friend to many and just an
all around great guy. Nik has
played any, many, benefits.
Whenever you need a blues
harp player or rock n roll he
was there. Hopefully we can
make a difference by helping
Nik get help. The bills just keep
coming.
Ragulski said Allen has
played at one time or another
with every musician who will
be performing today and he is
best known for being part of the
Killer Bs with Brenden Quinn
and Brett Alexander.
Were like one big family,
Ragulski said of the musicians
who will play today.
A $10 donation is asked at the
door. Theres a cash bar, raffles
and a Chinese Auction. All pro-
ceeds will be going to Nik.
Cant make it today? Cash do-
nations are accepted at William

When asked if the city should
forma committee to study home
rule as an option for governing
the city, voters answered with a
resounding yes in the munici-
pal election on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
Voters passed the home rule
study question by almost 2-to-1,
830-to-485, or 63 to 37 percent.
The voters also picked a sev-
en-member study commission
out of nine candidates. Former
mayor Michael Lombardo was
the top voter-getter with 904
votes or 16.62 percent. Current
mayor Jason Klush was second
with 855 votes. Current council-
man Joe Chernouskas was third.
Fred Stuccio, Art Bobbouine,
Ginger MurphyandBenTielle Jr
were fourth through seventh.
Tielle edged Barb Zangre who
ran an unsuccessful but spirited
campaign for a council nomina-
tion last May by 48 votes 450-
402. Frank Sheperis was last.
Asked if being the top vote-
getter shows the voters havent
forgotten him after almost 10
years out of the mayors office,
Lombardo laughed and said,
Either that or they like my cou-
sin Mike, referring to the cur-
rent councilman by the same
name.
Turning serious Lombardo
said, I dont read anything into
that, the important thing is they
voted yes.
By lawthere is a strict timeline
the committee must follow.
Committee members must be
sworn in within 10 days of the
elections certification and the
committee must have its first
meeting within 15 days.
Both will happen tomorrow,
Monday, Nov. 21. The committee
will be sworn in by Judge-elect
Fred Pierontoni at 6 p.m. at city
hall and then convene its first
meeting where a chairman and
vice-chairman will be appoint-
ed. Thereafter the committee
will meet twice monthly.
Lombardo said one of the first
things the committee will do is
interviewcity employees and of-
ficials and get some perspec-
tives.
The committee will get help
from consultants with expertise
and study reviews of other Penn-
sylvania third class cities which
have adoptedhome rule charters.
Lombardo likes the make up
of the committee. Its a good
committee and not everybody is
necessarily on the same page and
thats a good thing, he said. We
want to make this an open trans-
parent process.
City manager Joe Moscovitz
said the city welcomes the re-
view. Were busywiththe dayto
day operation of the city. Its hard
to step back and look at the big-
ger picture. A thorough analysis
can only benefit the city, he
said.
In theory the committee could
recommend that the city not
adopt a home rule charter, how-
ever it is much more likely that
the committee will recommend
and draft a home rule charter
which will be presented to the
voters for acceptance or rejec-
tion on next Novembers general
election ballot.
Both Lombardo and Mosco-
vitz said the committee will like-
ly recommend tweaking, rather
than radically changing, the way
the city is governed.
Were not going to reinvent
the wheel, Lombardo said.

On Thursday afternoon in the
lobby of the Pittston Post Office,
which will one day be named for
her father the late Pennsylvania
State Trooper Joshua Miller, 18-
year-old Justine Miller was
asked about her favorite memory
of her dad.
Her answer, probably his silly
dance moves, drew nods of ap-
proval and laughs from her
mother, Angie, and sister, Brea-
na, 15.
Though the Millers still hurt,
they can remember the good
times nowandlaughover memo-
ries of Josh, the family man, ded-
icated State Trooper and all-
around good guy who was shot
and killed in the line of duty in
June of 2009.
Trooper Miller, a PittstonArea
Patriot, class of 92, was just a
week shy of his 35th birthday
when he was killed on June 7,
2009, in a gun fight with Daniel
Autenrieth, who wielded a gun
and kidnapped his own 9-year-
old son during a custody ex-
change at the boys home in Na-
zareth.
In the two years since his
death, a portion of Route 611 in
Monroe County, near the site
where he was killed, was desig-
nated the Trooper Joshua D.
Miller Memorial Highway and
then-Gov. Ed Rendell awarded
him a posthumous Medal of
Honor.
Miller has also been honored
with golf tournaments, softball
tournaments and motorcycle
runs in his name to benefit his
widow and daughters Justine,
Breana, 15, and Joslyn, 4. In
March, 2010, more than200peo-
ple gathered to honor himat Vic-
toria Inn after he was named the
Sunday Dispatch Person of the
Year for 2009.
This week it was announced
by Congressman Lou Barlettas
office that Miller will be honor-
ed and permanently remem-
bered by the federal government
A bill introduced by Barletta
and approved by Congress this
week will name the Pittston Post
Office at 11Dock St. the Troop-
er Joshua D. Miller Post Office
Building.
Millers widowsaid seeing her
husbands name on the post of-
fice will help the family. It
helps to know he wont be for-
gotten. Were grateful. Part of
coping is keeping his memory
alive. Thats what we do and
when other people keep his
memory alive it makes me hap-
py.
His daughter Breana said, It
feels good because the commu-
nity still remembers him.

Legion of Honor
The Chapel of Four Chaplains
Legionof Honor recentlyinduct-
ed three new members: Eileen
Cipriani, West Wyoming, and
Robert Gillette, Old Forge and
Timothy Sirko, Madison Town-
ship.
This award is given in recog-
nition of service rendered by the
recipient to persons regardless of
race or religious faith. Throughit
the Chapel of Four Chaplains
honors individuals who have
been recommended to the Chap-
el. Its mission is to encourage
others to serve God and man vol-
untarily and unselfishly as was
exemplified by the Four Heroic
Chaplains.
The ceremony was conducted
at All Saints Parish, Plymouth on
Sunday, Oct. 30, by Pastor Rob-
ert Kelleher.
The Chapel of Four Chaplains
was formed in 1951 to recognize
and encourage acts of voluntee-
rism, brotherhood and sacrifice
among Americans of every age
and station of life. It commemo-
rates the World War II sinking of
a troopship, the USS Dorchester.
After the vessel, carrying 900
men was torpedoed by a Nazi
submarine off the coast of
Greenland on February 3, 1943,
four US Army Chaplains, Ge-
orge Fox, Methodist, Alexander
Goode, Jewish, Clark Poling
Dutch Reformed and John
Washington, Roman Catholic,
gave up their life jackets to those
that had none.
The chapel is dedicated to
keeping alive the deed and the
ideals embodied in the sacrifice
of these four heroic clergymen.

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.
Tennessee has passed a law that makes it
a crime to transmit a picture that causes
intended emotional distress without legitimate
purpose. Another new law makes it a crime to
share passwords on entertainment subscription
web sites.
***
California has a new law that bans judges
and juries from convicting defendants based
solely on the uncorroborated testimony of
jailhouse informants. California is the 18th
state to enforce this kind of prohibition. Most
other states, including Connecticut, take a
half-hearted approach, providing only for a
special jury instruction warning juries to
consider this kind of testimony skeptically.
***
Starting January 1, 2012, commercial vehicles
in Oregon will be prohibited from idling for
more than fve minutes each hour on property
open to the public.
***
The Supreme Court has ruled that poor civil
litigants who face possible jail time do not have
an automatic constitutional right to counsel.
The case involved a South Carolina man who
was sent to jail for up to 12 months after
missing child-support payments, which he
insisted that he could not afford.
***
The city of Salem, VA has a law against leaving
an animal in a car by itself without the air
conditioner running. If its hotter than 80
degrees inside the vehicle, police can fne the
violator up to $500.

League players, Taffy Wright
and Lee Gamble. Grady Hatton,
who had a long Major League
career and managed the Houston
Astros in 1966-67-68, was the
third baseman on that team.
After batting .475 with 11
homers in 30 games for Georgia
in 1946, Trippi was offered a
contract to play baseball in the
New York Yankees organization
and football for the Yankees
football teamin the All-America
Football Conference (AAFC).
The offer was worth $105,000
for five years of football and two
of baseball. Benefiting from a
bidding war between the AAFC
and the NFL, Trippi accepted an
offer from the Chicago Cardi-
nals for $100,000 for four years
of football, leaving him free to
make his own baseball deal.
He signed with the Atlanta
Crackers, an AA team in the
Southern Association, for a
$10,000 bonus and $500 a month
salary. By managing my own
affairs, I made out better. I told
Mr. Mann, the Crackers owner,
for the money you gave me I
wont go to Atlanta and embar-
rass myself. He didnt. He bat-
ted .338, seventh best in the
league among batters with more
than 100 at bats. But after that
season he gave up baseball to
concentrate on football. Trippi
played nine seasons for the Car-
dinals from 1947 to 55, four at
halfback, two at quarterback and
three as a defensive back.
Fromhis Hall of Fame biogra-
phy: Inthe1947NFLChampion-
ship Game when the Cardinals
beat the Eagles, 28-21 on an icy
field in Chicago, Charley wore
basketball shoes for better trac-
tion and totaled 206 yards, in-
cluding102yards ontwopunt re-
turns. He scored touchdowns on
a44-yardrunanda75-yardpunt
return.

We hope Representative Mike Carroll
clips this editorial and takes it with him
when he testifies before the Legislative
Reapportionment Commission on
Wednesday.
Mike is going to testify against the
Commissions plan to redraw his 118th
District. The committee wants to cut Pitt-
ston City, Duryea and Hughestown out of
the 118th and move those towns to the
113th, a mostly Lackawanna County dis-
trict.
Carroll called the attempt to break up
the east side of the Greater Pittstonarea an
abomination. We agree.
It is aslo down right silliness when you
consider that Hughestown, as the heart of
the district, has been home to the 118th
district office for more than 30 years.
Heres more craziness: under the plan
Pittston and Hughestown would be part of
the same legislative district as Clarks
Summit, Glenburn and Chinchilla.
While the plan can be seen as a cynical
attempt by Republicans to break up a
Democratic stronghold here, Carroll, rec-
ognizingthat whenDemocrats are inpow-
er they are capable of similar shenani-
gans, didnt go there.
To him its not about parties, but it is
about the common sense of the common
interests of the municipalities in the118th.
Carroll will testify not only that Pittston
City, Duryea and Hughestown should re-
maininthe118th, but that the118thshould
be redrawn to include Yatesville and Pitt-
ston Township which are now, bizarrely,
in the 114th with Old Forge.
Carrolls proposal would put the Pitt-
ston Area school district municipalities in
the same district and what defines com-
mon interests better than that?
The district recognizes that its parts
should be made whole legislatively and
when Carroll goes to the Legislative
Reapportionment Commission to testify
onWednesdayhe will be armedwitha let-
ter from the school board and from the
councils and supervisors of Pittston City,
Duryea, Hughestown, Yatesville and Pitt-
ston Township.
While the 118th borders as they are to-
day look like they were cut randomly by a
jigsaw, the proposed borders look like
they were cut by a jigsaw run by a person
with a blindfold.
Readers can go to http://www.redis-
tricting.state.pa.us/Maps/House.cfm and
see an interactive map and see for them-
selves how the Reapportionment Com-
mission plans to transplant the heart of
our district.

Once again, I must set the record straight for those who are led
by misinformation or who do not research their subject matter
before presenting it. Recently, this newspaper ran a letter by Mr.
Cason, where he addressed problems for the WA taxpayers,
among others, are nepotism and wives of two board members
being recipients of health care benefits. Since Joe Holden of the
Channel 28 I-Team was the only news media outlet who was
concerned enough to allow me to air a segment on setting the
record straight in regard to my wifes employment, I can see
where people may not know the rest of the story.
Assuming you are making reference to my wife as one of the
two recent wives hiring you referred to, let me state this. Official
WA Board minutes from October 2002 (yes, 2002) will show
that meeting was when my wife was hired by Wyoming Area.
That was four years before I sat at my first regular school board
meeting as an elected director.
What occurred last year was the approved transfer my wife put
in for as allowed under her union collective bargaining agree-
ment. Her in-house transfer to an open position available by a
retiringemployee allowedthe district tosave moneybynot refill-
ing the position she would transfer from. She kept those duties
and assumed the responsibility of providing secretarial support
to three other departments. Also, it was written of the associated
health care cost to the district with my wifes so called recent
hiring. Let me state this, my wife does not now, nor did she ever,
receive any school district paid-for health care insurance. Her
transfer saved the district over $25,000 in employee salary ex-
penses. Her choosing not to receive provided health care insur-
ance saves the district an additional approximate savings of
$16,000 per year. The superintendents recommendation and
those board members who approved this transfer did so as a fis-
cally financial cost-saving measure.
I wish to end by writing of the references made to my wife as
School Director Marianaccis wife. Her name is Doreen. She is a
mother to our children, a daughter to her mother, a sister to her
brothers and sisters, as wonderful wife, a homeowner, a taxpayer
and a dedicated nine-year employee.
Lets look at this for what it is a woman working a job while
raising a family and trying to make a living and lets try not to
make it anything but that.

The Water Street Bridge is 80 years old, but it is only in the last
two years since Republicans won a majority in the United States
Congress that it has become structurally deficient.
Isnt that odd?
Luzerne County has been in the top three to five, and sometimes
number one, among Pennsylvanias 67 counties in unemployment
rates since the 1950s, yet it is only in the past two years since a
Republican, Lou Barletta, defeated Democrat Paul Kanjorski for
Pennsylvanias 11th Congressional seat that Luzerne County needs
jobs.
Thats odd, too, isnt it?
Those statements are crazy on their face, but these are the types
of things the NEPA Needs Jobs Coalition would have us believe.
The coalition staged a rally at the Water Street Firefighters Me-
morial Bridge on Thursday to declare, as they said in a press re-
lease, an Economic Emergency for the 99%.
Sounds to me like they are aligning themselves with the Occupy
Wall Street gang. And thats perfect. Somebody better hose down
the bridge.
The press release also said the Republicans continue to propose
job-killing cuts that will further devastate our economy.
Yeah, right. Thats what Republicans want. They want to kill
jobs, yeah, man. They want to devastate our economy. Yeah, devas-
tate it. Whoopee.
The Coalition says the Republicans stopped President Obamas
jobs plan. No, they stopped Obamas plan to spend billions more
paying off the union cronies that helped get him elected, just like
he did in his first $1 trillion spending binge that was going to keep
unemployment below eight percent.
Why dont they go hold a sign in his face?
This NEPA Needs Jobs Coalition is the same crowd that occu-
pied Barlettas office a while back carrying signs like Wheres
the jobs, Lou.
Well, NEPA Needs Jobs Coalition, where were you for the 20
years that Kanjorski was in office and NEPA was No. 1 in unem-
ployment? Huh, where were you? I dont remember any of you
sticking Wheres the Jobs signs in Kanjorskis face.
But, of course they wouldnt, because Kanjorski is a Democrat.
And thats what this NEPA Needs Jobs Coalition is really all about.
Its about attacking Republicans and glorifying Democrats because
Democrats want to take money from the mean old rich people and
spread it around to the downtrodden poor people who the rich
people walked all over to get rich in the first place, while the Re-
publicans want to cut, cut, cut, because they hate poor people, old
people and sick people.
I had to laugh when I saw the Coalition people holding Fix Our
Bridges signs when half of them would run like vampires from a
cross if you showed them a shovel.
The coalitions press release said, This bridge is a powerful
symbol of our leaders failure to pass a jobs bill or do anything to
help the 99%, while the richest 1% keep getting richer.
What they really mean is help the 11 percent. Thats the percent-
age of workers unionized in this country and if the bridge did get
fixed and the Coalition had its way no non-union contractors
would be get anywhere near it. In other words: the heck with the
88 percent.
In fact the Republicans have a long-range plan for infrastructure

Get off the bridge
For some of us this Thanksgiving, it may be chal-
lenging to unearth multiple blessings amidst the
mud.
Personally, Imbored with my usual thanks. I al-
ways say Im thankful to be alive. Oh, and Im
thankful the dog vomit came off the couch cushion
yesterday.
Yawn.
Who cares?
So this year, my three little vagrants decided to
write this column for me. And by decided I mean
forced and by forced I mean money ex-
changed hands.
Thanks, according to Nicholas, age 16
My mother is sitting next to me and keeps ask-
ing/harassing me to tell you what I amthankful for.
I dont know how honest I can be since she has
the delete button in her control. So I have to say Im
thankful for my family, obviously. I mean, do you
think she wouldnt type that herself if I didnt say
it?
And plus, shes pinching meso Im thankful
for my wonderful family.
Also, my wonderful life, my wonderful friends
and my Gramma Hecks wonderful eggplant par-
mesan.
Good, she left the room.
So really, Im thankful for my whip.
And, I knowMaria has no idea what that means,
so Ill tell you; its my car.
Love my car.
And, of course, Call of Duty gets a big thank
you. No one, except those of us who play this epic
game, get howmuch fun it is, and who wouldnt be
thankful for 7 hours of straight-up fun?
Okay. Shes back.
So Im thankful for my wonderful dogs and my
grandparents and my did I say wonderful family
already?
Oh, and my house, and my bed and my clean
sheets andmyspecial, fluffy, L-shapedpillowthat I
cannot live without.
She left again.
Shes nowyellingat mybrother tothinkof a few
stinking things you can be thankful for before I
hide your controller until New Years.
Wow.
So, Im also thankful for wrestling.
Actually, this is my most important thing. Wres-
tling is pretty much my life.
Without wrestling I would probably just sit in the
attic and continue with my awesome Call of Duty
marathons. Waitthats not a really bad thing, is
it?
Cant have Thanksgiving come and go without
giving thanks for two more of my favorite things:
Will Farrell and Taco Bell.
Plus! My friends and I went to Penn State this
weekend and ate at the best place on earth called:
Are U Hungry?
I ate a glorious sandwich made with steak, moz-
zarella sticks, chicken tenders, French fries, mayo
and ketchupon ONE BUN.
Who wouldnt be thankful for that?
No one, thats who.
Thanks, according to Patrick, age 14
Okaywellthis is as bad as when she makes
me write something nice for her Mothers Day co-
lumn. I usually just make stuff up for that, but this
time she told me I wont get away with that trick so
Ill try to be thankful.
Anyway, if I dont do this well, she said no more
Subway until 2012.
She looked serious. So, here goes.
Obviously, Im thankful for my family and my
friends.
That sounds good, right?
Andmy dogs! I love them and they love me.
They definitely love me more than my mother,
especially after that throw-up-on-the-couch fiasco
yesterday.
That was ugly. (I probably shouldnt have fed
them the pickles.)
Most of all, XBox gets a huge amount of thanks
this year and my brother Nick gets big thanks for
driving to Game Stop to pick it up for me at mid-
night.
Where he won a pull-up contest and got a free
game!
Which he didnt give me, but sold and made
money for himself.
So maybe Im not thankful for him.
I cant decide.
I love my house and West Pittston and I amvery,
very thankful we did not get flooded. We have a lot
of good fortune and it makes me grateful.
It makes me sad to knowthat not everyone in this
world has the freedomI dojust to go outside and
play or go to Dunkin Donuts every day. Imthank-
ful for my freedom.
So thankful for being the third child and my
mother being too tired from hovering over my
brother and sister that shes just happy when I get
home for dinner in one piece.
And of course, I give thanks for my newleopard
Gecko, Roy.
But I wish hed use a toilet.
Andshe didnt even tell me to write this, but
Imvery happy and thankful that my mother didnt
die from breast cancer and got better and is doing
great. Even though she is still a little unbalanced.
Im just thankful for the little things and that re-
ally covers everything.
Thanks, according to Madeline, age 20
Im thankful for many things in life.

S
ince seeing his first Grate-
ful Dead show in 1972,
Rob Barracos name has
become increasingly sought af-
ter in the Deads extensive com-
munity. Along with a solo career,
the multi-instrumentalist has
played with everyone from Phil
Lesh and Friends and The Dead,
to the Zen Tricksters and his lat-
est venture, Dark Star Orchestra.
While touring, Barraco has
had the opportunity to play all
the big venues most jammusi-
cians only dream of Red
Rocks, Bonnaroo, and The Jam-
mys, among others. Then why is
it that a little cabin in the moun-
tains of Jim Thorpe excites the
keyboardist so much?
We love Penns Peak; its a
beautiful room to play in, he
said of DSOs yearly pre-
Thanksgiving romp happening
this Wednesday. Its just set up
perfectly. They treat us so great
therewe usually get a great
crowd, and it sounds really great
there. Thats key. If were hearing
each other that well, you know
youre going to get a good show.
Ironically, if it werent for
DSO, who Barraco joined in
2005 after the passing of the
bands original keyboardist Scott
Larned, the famously headband-
touting musician may never have
gotten the opportunity to play
Penns Peak, as his previous
bands have never performed in
the room.
Along with a newfondness for
Penns Peak, 2005 marked a sig-
nificant change for Barraco.
Then a member of Phil Lesh and
Friends, he learned of Larneds
passing, and during a touring
break, got an email from the
DSOcamp trying to find a fill in
for its upcoming tour.
When their manager called
me in 2005, right after Scott
passed away, he asked me if I
could do a month-long tour, he
said. He explained to me that
they were in dire need to do this
tour financially. They couldnt
cancel the tour, and they didnt
have a keyboard player or the
time to rehearse oneI really
had no intentions to further that;
I would do the month and that
would be it. A funny thing hap-
pened on the way: I enjoyed my-
self way more than I thought I
was goingto. I embracedthe trip;
I really got it after the first
show. They were a band that
went out every night and tried to
be in the moment. Just like the
Dead. It really appealed to me.
At the end of the tour, I asked
themif it would be possible to do
some more work with them.
Six years later, Barraco is a
full-time member of DSO and is
still enjoying recreating Dead
shows and cranking out stellar
DSO elective shows where the
band plays Dead themed songs
in whatever order they like. With
the bands famous show recre-
ations, new horizons are being
explored after DSO sustained a
more recent change in 2009
when founding member and lead
guitarist John Kadlecik split to
joinwithBobWeir andPhil Lesh
inFurthur. After various touring
auditions the band chose to
bring in Barracos former Zen
Tricksters mate, Jeff Mattson, an
avid lover of early Dead materi-
al, and someone Barraco can call
his musical brother.
I was very excited when we
made the decision to bring Jeff
on board, he said. My band
mates didnt realize it, but I
worked with Jeff for eleven years
in the Zen Tricksters, and he was
also my roommate for nine. I
know Jeff like a brother. Musi-
cally, I have a connection with
him that I dont have with any
other human being on the planet.
We could be playing in different
states, and still make beautiful
music together.
Hes so plugged in to the
same stuff as me. We both saw
the Grateful Dead in the early
70s, and we both really love the
old stuff the 68, 69, 70 Dead
stuff. John was more a project of
the 80s Dead; and Johns a great
player, but didnt really have a
feeling for the earlier stuff. Jeff
sort of exhumes that raw, psy-
chedelic energy that I feel is al-
ways necessary. Weve been able
to delve back further into the
Deads catalogue of shows.
Were doing a lot of that Pigpen
stuff from 69, and its such a
blast. Jeffs just so on it when it
comes to that stuff.
Like the Deads philosophy,
when DSO recreates a concert
the Deads musical styling from
the show being played will sim-
ply be a blueprint for DSOto fol-
low.
Were more interpreters
than we are covering the mu-
sic, he said. In the spirit of that
music, we go out there every
night there is a blueprint be-
cause we have a set list we have
to follow. Once we get going, ev-
erything is improv. Everything is
in the moment, as much as pos-
sibleWe get up there and we
just gofor it. The endresult is go-
ing to be different fromthe show
that were supposedly reproduc-
ing. Whatever the set list is, it
will be that set, but musically, its
going to be us.
As for whats in store on
Wednesday, Barraco humorous-
lypoints out that rhythmguitarist
and singer Rob Eaton is in
charge of picking out set lists,
and the other members just go
with the flowon showday. I can
tell you its a great show. But
thats all I can tell you, he joked.

Imthankful that last weekend
when my mom visited me at
school (and knocked on the
wrong doors for 20 minutes), she
did not accept the brownies that
the boys from the apartment
downstairs offered her.
I am thankful that, also when
she visited last weekend, she on-
ly did number one as she con-
tinued talking to my roommates,
with the bathroom door open.
I am thankful she only had to
stop seven times that day to use
the restroom everywhere we
went and Im thankful that she
only attempted to give two
cute boys downtown my num-
ber and address.
Im thankful for her strident,
distinguishing voice ever since
I was little, its been like a built-
in tracking systemif I ever got
lost in a store, all I had to do was
listen and follow.
But most of all, Im thankful
that she is my mom.
Im thankful that when I call
her at 11:45 p.m. to edit my paper
by midnight, she does.
Im thankful that whenever I
have a problem, she always lis-
tens.
Im thankful for her forever
wise words and incomparable
wisdom.
Even though Im not thankful
for those hideous headbands and
obnoxious, holiday-themed tur-
tlenecks she dressed me in when
I was little, I amthankful for how
she raised me and because of
this, who I have become.
Imthankful that no matter the
many, many mistakes I make,
she will always love me.
I am so very thankful that she
is my mother.

Question 1
In 1955, Erminio
Cefalo petitioned the
Luzerne Board of
Elections for a re-
count of votes after
learning he had lost the
Pittston city treasurer
seat to James Cosgrove by only one
vote. What two presidential elections
were decided by one vote?
1955 56 Years Ago
The 23rd annual Battle of the Wyom-
ings was one of the most anticipated
events on Thanksgiving Day. The yearly
contest originated in 1933. Wyoming
High School posted a 12-8 total game
advantage over West Wyoming.
During the 22-year run, two games
ended in a tie.
Wyoming was looking forward to the
1955 contest to counter a 26-0 loss in
1954. Seniors Joe Lehon, Joseph Gres-
kiewicz, Jimmy Charney, Bob Ko-
zlosky and Bill Karcutski played their
final game for the West Wyoming Cow-
boys. Seniors on the Wyoming Redskins
team were John Sapiego, Joe Yurish,
Paul McGinley, Bill Loyack, John
Shulde, Erwin Muschter, Russ Gior-
dano and Herb Pecht.

John Central Catholic was set for Bone
Stadium. The games dated back to 1915
and showed Pittston holding a one game
edge with five games ending in ties over
the 34-year rivalry.
Pittston seniors playing their final
game were Bob Vitale, Joe Sciandra,
Ross Baccanari, Francis Monachino,
Al Brown, Charlie Marranca, Jake
Sobeski, Francis Tierney, George No-
wakowski, Anthony Darbenzio, Joe
Lombardo and Steve Sciandra. St.
Johns had 13 seniors seeing action:
Frank Kolmansberger, Joe Ruane,
Charlie Manganiello, Tony Kalma-
nowich, Frank Roche, Bill Romanko,
Hughie Walsh, Kenny Davis, Bill
Burke, Jimmy Rettenmeyer, Billy
Mundy, Joe Kelly and Joe Dalesandro.
Over the years, the Avoca school
board members were confronted with
protests from teachers, taxpayer groups
and individual citizens, but a meeting in
November of 1955 was the most trying
of all. A delegation of students carrying
a petition listing 200 names attended.
The petition requested school hours
change from a 9 a.m. to an 8 a.m. start
and from a 4 p.m. to a 3 p.m. dismissal.
The purpose of the change was to ac-
commodate students who wished to
work after school.

Officers of the Pittston Lodge 1207
Loyal Order of Moose, George Nisky,
Stanley Wieczorek, Gus Turonis,
Frank Kirkpatrick, William Stru-
beck, Louis Forlenza and trustees Peter
Miller, Joseph Comer and Michael
Cordora looked forward to burning the
mortgage at the lodge anniversary din-
ner. The lodge originally headquartered
on Luzerne Avenue was formed in West
Pittston in 1912. The new home on Exe-
ter Avenue was completed in 1950.
Under the direction of James J. Da-
vis. a Pennsylvania labor organizer. the
order grew from 247 members, to nearly
500,000 in more than 1,000 Lodges.
Women of Mooseheart Legion received
formal recognition as a Moose auxiliary
in 1913.
Pittston Lodge 382 of the Benevolent
Order of Elks purchased land at the
Pittston By-pass to begin excavation for
a new home replacing the former home
destroyed in a fire New Years Eve 1962.
Captain George M. Breza of Pittston
was assigned to duty with Dwight D.
Eisenhower after the former president
became ill and entered Walter Reed
Hospital in Washington DC. Captain
Breza studied pharmacy at the Uni-
versity of Scranton but was persuaded to
enter the medical profession. His wife
Serina, also assigned to Walter Reed,
was with the Army Nursing Corps. The
two-term presidents achievements in-
cluded the Eisenhower Doctrine: a
message to Congress authorizing the
United States to cooperate with and
assist any nation or group of nations in
the general area of the Middle East.
An article in the November 21 issue of
the Sunday Dispatch details the history,
dating back to 1793, of the Brick Meth-
odist Church on Foote Avenue near the
Duryea Old Forge boundary line. The
first preacher, William Colbert, over-
saw quarterly meetings and the estab-
lishment of a log schoolhouse. In 1852,
a new structure costing $2,000 was built
with bricks manufactured in Wilkes-
Barre and drawn to Duryea over roads
not yet paved. In 1965, Reverend Ruth
Underwood served as pastor.

The occasion has come for
us to manifest again our nation-
al unity in support of freedom
and to show our deep respect
for the rights and independence
of every nation - however great,
however small. We seek, not
violence, but peace. To this
purpose we must now devote
our energies, our determina-
tion, ourselves.

s a kid Mike Bednar, 63,
of Whitehall, loved
trains. As an adult he
worked for the Lehigh Valley
and the Reading & Northern
Railroads for over 40 years. And
as of today he is the author of
nine railroading books.
On Nov. 5 he was at the Jen-
kins Township Hose Company
for a slideshow and discussion
attended by 100 local railfans,
as railroad enthusiasts are called.
Why did he come here for the
presentation?
Because the Pittston area, and
especially the Coxton Yard, was
a hotbed of Lehigh Valley Rail-
road activity. Consequently,
Bednars books are peppered
with stories and photos of Pitt-
ston area railroad scenes, en-
gines and employees.
It started with mining, he
said of the rail activity at Coxton.
All the coal that came out of
Wyoming Valley was classified
at Coxton Yard. It was a major
classification yard until mid-
60s when mining died out. The
network of branches that ran out
of Coxton was very extensive.
Classification of coal meant it
was at Coxton where coal was
weighed and designated for des-
tinations.
Bednar said he initially got in-
terested in Coxton when he
worked in Lehighton. I used to
work the Lehighton Tower and
the Coxton crews hung out in the
tower while laying over and talk-
ed about the operation in Cox-
ton.
Intrigued by the stories, in the
60s he visited the area two to
three times a month to take pic-
tures and meet railroaders face-
to-face. Everybody knew each
other by phone, he said. I talk-
ed to train dispatchers at every
office and tower and would al-
ways want to meet them.
Thats what makes Bednars
books unique among railroad
books people.
While most railroad books are
filled with engine action and
scenery, Bednars books are
more about people. There are
scenes and engines in my books,
too, but I concentrate on the peo-
ple that ran the railroad.
He said the LLVR was perfect
for people books. The LVRR
was unique in that it was one big
brotherhood from Buffalo to
New York City. It was like a big
family and thats what I write
about.
But railroad books about peo-
ple werent an easy sell to pub-
lishers. Nobody wanted to put
people pictures in railroad
books.
Yet he was determined.
All these emotions ran
through my head from hanging
out with railroad friends and go-
ing to slideshows. Then Bill
Kuehner, proprietor of Gar-
rigues House in Laurys Station,
said I should write a book about
the LVRR men and what it was.
The emotions were there and the
time was right.
His latest book, Lehigh Valley
5 In Color, was released by
Morning Sun Books on Nov 1.
The book covers the Lehigh Val-
ley fromthe end of World War II
to the end of the Lehigh Valley in
the late 1970s, when it was taken
over by Conrail, which was in
turn absorbed by Norfolk South-
ern.
When the Reading & North-
ern took over what was left of the
LVRR in 1991 Bednar hired out
with R&N. In 1996 he was the
engineer on a regular run from
Lehighton to the Procter and
Gamble Plant in Mehoopany.
Many of the photos in his
books are his own, but Bednar
also includes photos loaned to
him by railfan legends, the late
Ed Miller and West Pittston resi-
dent Bill Ellis.
Bednar writes byhandonlegal
sheets. His wife, Donna, types
the manuscripts.
Bednar writes a quarterly arti-
cle for the full-color, national
scope TRP (The Railroad Press)
magazine. He is also treasurer of
the Lehigh Valley Veterans As-
sociationandis editor of its quar-
terly newsletter.
Heres a sampling of just some
of the local men, some living
some dead, in Bednars books:
Joe Connors and Bimmer Dona-
hue and his son Jim from Sebas-
topol; Arnold Embleton, Inker-
man; Frank Krempa, Ray Dona-
hue, Paul Doyle, Marty Quinn,
and George Dructor Sr. and Jr.,
Junction; Bob Clark, Port Grif-
fith; Tom Maughan, Pittston;
Dan Bidwell and his father, Dan
Sr.; Andy Thomas, West Wyom-
ing; and Dave Hergan, Wyom-
ing.
Bednars nine books are:

rigues House)

rigues House)

nemployed workers,
faith leaders, local resi-
dents and labor organi-
zations rallied Thursday after-
noon at the Water Street Bridge,
also known as the Firefighters
Memorial Bridge, in Pittston to
declare an Economic Emergen-
cy for the 99%.
The protesters called on poli-
ticians to stop looking out for the
Wall Street banks and the 1%
and start siding with the 99%.
Despite months of demands
and protests by community
members, Congress has done
nothing to ease the jobs crisis
and Republicans continue to
propose job-killing cuts that will
further devastate our economy,
organizers of the rally said in a
press release.
The Firefighters Memorial
Bridge has been labeled struc-
turally deficient by the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Transpor-
tation, the press release claimed
adding, fixing it could put un-
employed people in Pittston
back to work.
Its time politicians like Pat
Toomey and Lou Barletta start
working for us, said Amel AJ
Jones, who has been unemploy-
ed for nearly a year. I go out ev-
ery day looking for work and the
jobs arent there. Instead of
pushing for more cuts, Congress
should be focused on creating
jobs.
According to the press release,
after votes by Congress to block
the Presidents jobs plan, and on
the eve of the Super Committees
recommendations to enact more
job-killing budget cuts, commu-
nity members voiced their oppo-
sition to a cuts-only approach.
Its outrageous that the Sen-
ate has voted multiple times to
block the Presidents jobs plan,
which would have put thousands
of Americans back to work,
said James Luby, an underem-
ployed worker who has had a
hard time finding full-time
work. Twenty-five million
Americans are looking for good
jobs, and all we hear from Con-
gress is no, no, no. Putting peo-
ple back to work is the only way
we are going to rebuild Amer-
ica.
Politicians have a moral obli-
gation to take care of those in
need, especially in these difficult
times, said Father Bill Pickard,
a retired priest fromthe Scranton
diocese. What we need right
now are good jobs, not drastic
cuts that will harmour most vul-
nerable citizens.
Thursdays demonstration was
part of a National Day of Action
against policies that have en-
riched the 1% and impoverished
the 99%. People nationwide ral-
lied at structurally unsound
bridges and other sites in need of
repair to demand that America
be put back to work nowand that
the economy work for the 99%
once again.
The Pittston action was orga-
nized by the NEPA Needs Jobs
Coalition, a network of commu-
nity, faith and labor organiza-
tions united in the belief that in-
vestments in infrastructure can
lead to good jobs for NEPA resi-
dents and rebuild our communi-
ties.

Great article and picture about
Townends Hardware Store in
Wyoming. Having started doing
photography in1949, I amtrying
to recall if I took the picture that
appeared in the paper.
Additional information about
the store: the man in the picture
is Gene Townend. His father was
J.C. Townend who started the
store. Notice the name in the pic-
ture. He and the store were
known as Skip Townends. His
full name was James Christoph-
er Townend. He was called
Skip: because as a boy whenev-
er there was a job to be done he
just skipped away and couldnt
be found.
That store had everything. I
was always building, repairingor
fixing something so I was in that
store many times. There were no
big hardware stores like there are
now. However, I needed some
hooks to hang Christmas lights
outside this week. Very hard to
find. At Townends Im sure he
would have various sizes and
weights and you could buy just
one to two, ten or twenty. It was
the same with screws, bolts,
washers, etc.
It had a coal or wood burning
stove in the center with a couple
of wooden chairs. You got all the
news, national and local and you
talked with people mostly
friends or neighbors. There was
hardly any sex, crime or drugs.
We had another similar store
in Wyoming just a half block
awayonthe Avenue. It was Shoe-
makers Hardware. That store
even had a hand pump in front
that pumped gasoline, kerosene
or car oil. Im not sure which.
You could buy everything in that
store including paint of various
kinds, colors and sizes. You also
got a lot of valuable advice from
the owner.
The store was taken over by
the well-known John Shoemaker
and continued for many years.
John opened several card and
gift shops in this area. It was then
taken over by Howard Snyder
and became Snyders Hardware.
When Howard Sr. passed away it
was taken over by his son, Ho-
ward Jr. Howard Sr.s wife Do-
rothy along with Mary were
equally knowledgeable about
hardware, paint, tools, etc as
were the men. The store still has
hundreds of wood drawers with
hundreds of thousands of nuts,
bolts, washers, screws, etc.
Snyders Hardware also closed.
Hard to compete with the big
stores.
Its too bad theyre gone. We,
who shopped there, miss them.

Photo stirs memories of Townends Hardware
Although I was not elected to
county council, I would like to
thank the almost 17,000 citizens
of Luzerne County that voted for
me. Your faith in my ability and
sincerity to help our newformof
government succeed is hum-
bling.
I also want to thank all of the
people that helped me during the
campaign. Your efforts are great-
ly appreciated.
Congratulations to the 11 can-
didates that were elected.
Through my conversations with
you during the campaign, I have
developed a deep respect for
you. I knoweach of you have the
best interest of the county and its
residents in your mind and will
strive to make the new Luzerne
County government effective
and more efficient to the needs
of the citizens. The task ahead
will be difficult but I know you
will be successful.
To all the candidates who were
not elected, you were certainly
not losers in the election. You
stepped forward to do what was
right for Luzerne County. You
accepted ridicule and criticism
from some only because you
wanted to make our county a bet-
ter place to live in.
You endeavored to make a dif-
ference while others sat back and
complained.
Thank you for that commit-
ment, you are truly winners too.
Sincerely
Salvatore Licata
Licata thanks voters, congratulates winners
The holidays are about to start! Celebrations, family and friend
get-togethers and food, lots of food.
Feeling stressed? If you are, you are not alone. It is forecasted that
the foremost causes of stress during the holidays are lack of finances
and too many demands on our time. What is presumed to be a cele-
bratory time sometimes turns into a bad memory! How can we take
control and change the course! Below are some short but mindful
suggestions related to food that just might make the difference in
your home?
To help reduce time stressors:
Ask others to be involved in planning, preparation, and clean up.
Take time now to converse and decide how each person is going to
help with the festivities.
Cook your specialties; let others help with the rest. Prepare things
from scratch that you really enjoy. Let your guests help by bringing
other items or change the menu into a menu that you enjoy.
Keep younger kids occupied and helpful in the kitchen by giving
them simple jobs. They can decorate plain paper napkins or make
placemats by drawing pictures for the guests about things they are
thankful for.
To help reduce financial stressors:
Use natural or edible decorations. Skip expensive flowers or one-
time throwaway centerpieces. Enjoy a festive fall basket of fruits and
nuts or let children create a dried arrangement from your yard.
Have more fruits and veggies - and smaller desserts. Serve brightly
colored produce that is advertised on sale. Make the pie slices half
their usual size and add a slice of fruit.
Be realistic about your spending. Draft a budget and make a com-
mitment to yourself that you will stick to it. Financial stress can make
anybodys holiday miserable.
Meanwhile, here is a recipe for a pumpkin pie without the fuss of
making crust and the calories! This recipe is easy to make and comes
out great every time!
Have a wonderful thanksgiving. Enjoy the time together.
Self Crust Pumpkin Pie
2 large eggs (or 3 medium)
1 cup nonfat, dry milk powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 cup flour
2 cups pumpkin
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup water
1. Mix all ingredients except water together in a large bowl.
2. Stir in water gradually until well mixed.
3. Pour into a greased 9-inch pie plate.
4. Bake at 350F for 45 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted one
inch from the center comes out clean.
Serves 8

Exeter Borough council met
this week in a special meeting to
appoint Betty Ann DeRoberto to
her late husbands vacant council
seat. Daniel DeRoberto passed
away Nov. 4 after serving 26
years on borough council. Sever-
al residents at the meeting ques-
tioned the process by which
council came to this decision.
Mary Pat Coleman described
the process of appointing a fam-
ily member to council as old
school and suggested council
reexamine other more transpar-
ent processes.
Council member elect Larry
Dellegrotto stated this process
should be open. Things are not
open here, he said. They are
done behind closed doors.
Chairman Murawski said the
borough has no written policy on
filling vacancies.
The borough code does not of-
fer any clear policy either. Coun-
cilmanTurner addedthat council
has always filled vacancies by
asking the spouse to fill the seat.
Saying Betty Ann DeRoberto is
very qualified for the job and ac-
tive in the community, council-
women Denise Adams wel-
comed her to council.
Dellegrotto said he was not
questioning DeRobertos quali-
fications, just the process to se-
lect her.
We interviewed for the jani-
tor position but not for a council
seat, he said. If it is open, trans-
parent, and honest, why is it not
open to the public.
After the meeting, DeRoberto
said she is proud to take over for
her husband. My husband loved
this town, and I would like to ful-
fill what he started.

Tiredofhearingabout TheDirty
Dozen for the past seven weeks,
the OldForge football teamdecid-
ed it was time to clean things up.
So with the District 2 Class 1A
titleonthelineandtheleadinthe
all-time series against arch-rival
Riverside at stake as well the
Blue Devils defense turned in a
spotlessperformanceasOldForge
pummeled the Vikings, 47-6, in
front of approximately 4,600 fans
onFridaynight at VeteransMemo-
rial Stadium.
We knew we were the better
team. Evenafter thefirst game, we
didnt care about the12thman. We
lost that gameonourown,saidse-
nior Lou Febbo. We didnt come
out ready to play and we got beat.
But tonight we knew this was our
last chance to do it and we did it.
It was the defense that set the
tone early and continued through-
out the game to stop the Riverside
offense. The Vikings did not re-
cord a first down until the 4:38
mark of the fourth quarter.
On the Vikings second play
fromscrimmage, senior defensive
end Joey Ciuccio crushed River-
side quarter Nick Dranchak for a
five-yard loss to ignite the Big
Blue Wrecking Crew.
I really felt it set the tone in the
beginning, said Ciuccio of his
10th sack of the season. We came
out strongearlyandgot it done. We
had a really strong week of prac-
tice and it really showed in the
game tonight.
I think everyone had a little
sense of being nervous but we all
came out readytoplaybecause we
really wanted this game.
The early three-and-out by the
Vikings led to a six-play, 56-yard
scoring drive by the Blue Devils,
highlighted by two big runs and a
bit of trickery.

The District 2 Class 2A final
matchup on Friday between
Wyoming Area and GAR was
eerily similar to their Wyoming
Valley Conference showdown
just four weeks ago.
Big plays.
Points in bunches.
A lack of defense.
And two No. 8s leading the
way for both teams with high-
light reel runs and overall great
offensive play.
Unfortunately for the War-
riors, the ending was also all too
similar as the Wyoming defense
could not get a defensive stop
when they needed it most, and
GAR forced a turnover on a late
Wyoming Area drive to seal a
53-44 victory and capture the
District 2 Class 2A gold at
Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadi-
um in South Wilkes-Barre on
Friday night.
GAR quarterback Darrell
Crawford ran for 207 yards and
twotouchdowns, andthrewthree
more to lead the Grenadiers
while WA quarterback Nick
OBrien ran for a career-high
321yards to go with three touch-
downs on 36 carries to pace the
Warriors.
A couple times defensively
we needed one more stop or one
more play and we just couldnt
get it tonight, said Warriors
Head Coach Randy Spencer.
We took our chances. We didnt
leave any bullets in the gun. Hats
off to GAR.
GAR pooch kicked the open-
ing kickoff in an attempt to keep
the ball out of the hands of
Wyoming Areas dangerous re-
turnmen. But the move back-
fired as the kick went right to
Warriors up-man Corey Popov-
ich who snagged it out of the air
and rumbled 65 yards down the
sideline to give the Warriors an
early 7-0 lead after the first of AJ
Lenkaitis four extra-points on
the night.
The Warriors defense held the
potent GAR offense to a turn-
over-on-downs but gave the ball

Sean Oliveri will make his mixed mar-
tial arts amateur debut on Friday night at
Northeast MMAs Cage Fight 9 at the
Lackawanna County Student Union. But
despite it being his first fight, Oliveri has
the swagger of a seasoned veteran.
I have been doing a lot of cardio, strik-
ing and everything. I dont have just one
strength. My strength is everything, Ol-
iveri said. I am not bad at anything and I
think it will really show in the cage.
The Old Forge graduate is as excited as
ever to get into the cage at the former
Scranton CYC and has just one expecta-
tion - win.
Im really, really excited to get in the
cage next week, Oliveri said in a phone
interview. The only expectation I have is
to win.
In order to come out on top in his debut,
he will have to beat a familiar foe in Terry
Evans. The twomenusedtoworktogether
and now they will go toe-to-toe with each
other in the cage.
The fight also brings with it and aspect
not seen before in the local Cage Fight se-
ries the Old Forge-Riverside rivalry.
I went to Old Forge and he went to Riv-
erside, so its a little rivalry, Oliveri said
witha chuckle. I usedtoworkwithhimat
Mariotti (Building Products). I am look-
ing really forward to it. He said he is going
to clean me up, but I dont need to talk
trash, Ill do my talking in the cage.
If Oliveri plans on doing his talking in
the cage, he will have to conquer the
strong grappling abilities of Evans.
I can keep him standing, but if it goes
to the ground I can do my thing on the
ground too, Oliveri said. Youll see my
ground moves in the fight if he even gets
me to the ground.
Oliveri got his start in the sport like
many others, by seeing it on television.
However, the thought of being able to
fight and not get in trouble for it is intrigu-
ing for Oliveri.
I love to watch it on TV. I have always
been in little scraps on the street, I love to
duke it out, so I figured I my as well put it
in the cage, Oliveri said. You cant get in
trouble for fighting in the cage.
Oliveri has been training for this mo-
ment for two years and nowit is less than a
week away.
Im so happy. I have been waiting to
fight for two years now. I wanted to wait
until I was ready and I feel I ammore than
ready right now, Oliveri said. I just cant
wait toget intothe fight, thats all I cansay.
I train with teamTATU. It helped me out a
lot. I have been training with the best
fighters and I feel that has made me so
much stronger.
In addition to Oliveri, a native of Grea-
ter Pittston also gets into the cage on Fri-
day night. However, this is far from his
first time.
Gary Peters will step into the cage for
his first shot at the amateur welterweight
title. His opponent will be Dave Spadell Jr.
of Hazleton.
If Peters walks away from the octagon
with a win this Friday night, the next step
is to turn professional. But, he doesnt feel
this fight is a make or break fight in terms
of his mixed martial arts career.
I dont know about a make or break
fight. The guy I amfighting is a high con-
tender consideringit is for the title, Peters
said. The last fewguys I have fought have
beenprettygoodandsome evencompeted
for titles. I keepdrawingguys that are con-
tenders. I am not too worried about that I
just enjoy training. The only time I would
stop fighting is if I stop enjoying it.
Peters believes this fight will be much
like the previous three when it comes to
preparation. It is not often he enters the
cage with a southpaw, but lately they are
all he has seen. He will use the comfort he
has accumulated along with his develop-
ing boxing skills to try and defeat his op-
ponent on Friday night.
Its funny, because he is a southpaw
and the last two guys I have fought have
beensouthpaws as well. Alot of guys have
trouble fighting a southpaw, because they
dont see them as often, but I have been
lucky enough to fight so many of them.
This is my third fight in a row against a
southpaw, so I sort of feel more comfort-
able boxing with the guys that just box,
Peters said. I do boxing separate from
MMA training. I know if I can hang with
guys who just focus on boxing, I will be
alright when it comes to fighting guys
who have cross trained.
If Peters wins on Friday night, he will
rid himself of the amateur status.
We are going to have to see how this
fight goes and kind of go fromthere. This
will be a good test for me to see where I
am, Peters said. If I win this fight I will
absolutely go pro.

On third-and-4 from the 50,
quarterback Colin Carey sprinted
for a 15-yard gain on a designed
sweep to the home sidelines. Two
plays later, Febbo took a pitch
around the right side for a 25-yard
jaunt beforehewasknockedout of
boundsat theRiverside9. Theplay
pushed Febbo over the 1,000-yard
rushing mark for the season.
Onthenext play, OldForgewent
into its bag of tricks.
Carey handed off to Febbo, but
after two steps toward the left end,
the two-year starter at tailback
pulled up and lofted a pass to a
wide open Dave Argust for a
touchdown. Matt Mancusos first
of five extra-points gave the Blue
Devils a 7-0 lead with 7:54 left in
the first quarter.
We worked on that everyday
the past fewweeks and decided to
go with it, said Old Forge Head
Coach Mike Schuback after lead-
ing his team to its second district
title duringhis10-year tenure. Its
a unique situation. We have never
done anything like that on first
down, and with Dave being as ex-
perienced as he is we figured he
could sell a lazy route and then
break to the flag.
Carey agreed with his head
coach.
I thought it was going to be a
big play," said the first-year signal
caller. I thought they would defi-
nitely bite on it and they did. We
have been working on it for a few
weeks, and there was no better
time to use it.
The defense forced another
three-and-out as Ciuccio and line-
backer Anthony Trotta stuffed the
run on first down, senior Ryan
Cadwalder stuffed a short pass on
seconddown, andanincompletion
on third down resulted in another
Vikings punt.
After Argust returned the punt
15yards totheRiverside39, junior
tailback Brian Bubba Tomasetti
electrified the home crowd with a
40-yard gain up the middle of the
Vikings defense to put the ball at
the Riverside 21.
Tomasetti carried again for 10
yards to push the ball to the Vik-
ings 11 before Carey showed pass
before tuckingthe ball onthe right
hash and making his way into the
endzonefor an11-yardtouchdown
run, givingOldForge(10-2) a14-0
leadwith5:02left inthefirst quar-
ter.
Bubba is on every special
teams, and is one of our shutdown
corners, said Schuback of his re-
serve tailback. He takes the chal-
lenge on and plays the run like no-
bodys business. He is a physical
corner and can get up on you and
beat you up. Hes the same on of-
fense.
It wasnt like I didnt want to
use him on offense the last two
weeks, but we just didnt have any
consistency to work him in. But
whenweget intoaflowlikethat its
easy to utilize himmore. I said be-
fore the game we were going to
fire every bullet in the gun and
came out with that attitude.
That attitudecontinuedthreese-
rieslaterwhenSchubackcalledfor
the punt block with Riverside
punting fromits own 29-yard line.
Sophomore Jorden Sekol got
through untouched and blocked
TimLebiaks punt, picking it up at
the 19 before stumbling down at
the six. One play later, Tomasetti
blasted his way into the endzone
for a 21-0 lead at the10:18 mark of
the second stanza.
It was the same (punt block)
call as the Susquehanna game. I
was nervous a lot - trying to get
my first touchdown, joked Sekol
about stumblingonthereturnafter
blocking his second punt in three
weeks.
Down three scores, Riverside
took a gamble on its next posses-
sion, going for it on fourth-and-2
from its own 25 yard. But Sekol
stopped Dranchak in his tracks on
akeeper for nogaintoturntheball
back over to the Blue Devils.
We worked really hard the
whole week on defense, said Se-
kol. And it was easier to fly
aroundondefenseaftertheoffense

Andtheoffensecontinuedtoput

took advantage of the short field.

right back after going three-and-
out. The Grenadiers used a 13-
play drive, resulting in Crawford
hitting his tight end Glen Yash-
kus for a 12-yard score. Luke
Height missed the extra point
and the Warriors kept the lead
7-6 with 14 seconds left in the
first quarter.
The first play of the Warriors
next possession resulted in a
fumble when the ball slipped out
of OBriens hand on a pass at-
tempt. GARjumped on the loose
ball, and three plays later, Craw-
ford hit Lucas Benton on a deep
fade route for the score. Wyom-
ing Area stopped the GAR two-
point attempt but the Grenadiers
were up 12-7 with 10:42 left in
the half.
The Warriors answered right
back via the legs of Nick
OBrien.
On the first play of the drive,
the junior took the handoff and
exploded through the hole at the
line of scrimmage and used his
downfield blocks to weave his
way for a 36-yard gain to the
GAR 28. After three straight
rushes for short gains, the War-
riors faced a fourth-and-6 from
the GAR 24.
OBrien took the snap, faked
the handoff and burst through a
hole created by left tackle Carl
Zielinski and left guard Joe Er-
zar. He shook off a few tacklers
and made his way across the goal
line for the score. OBrien then
hit Joe Adonizio for the two-
point conversion as the Warriors
reclaimed the lead 15-12 at the
8:01 mark of the second quarter.
GAR wasted no time going
back on top as Crawford ripped
off a 60-yard touchdown run on
the first play of the drive to give
the Grenadiers a 19-15 lead.
The ensuing kickoff for GAR
hit a Warrior up-man and
bounced back into the hands of
the Grenadiers. Crawford struck
again on the third play of the
drive as he broke six or seven
tackles enroute to a 29-yard
score to push the GAR lead to
26-15.
Wyoming Area tried to answer
but a huge kickoff return by Ah-
mad Bouie was called back due
to a holding call. The Warriors
started the drive at their own 10
but after two 13-yard runs by
OBrien, they were forced to
punt.
GAR again used one play as
Dwayne Wright took the option
pitch from Crawford and went
46 yards untouched to bump the
GARlead to 33-15 with 2:14 left
in the half.
The fast action pace continued
before the teams went to inter-
mission.
OBrien ran for eight and 10
before hittingCodySchmitz ona
deep in route and Schmitz turned
a 20-yard pass play into a 41-
yard gain after he was able to
make a few defenders miss be-
fore being pushed out at the
GAR10.
Four plays later, OBrien
found a huge hole in between the
left tackle and guard and pushed
his way into the endzone for the
score. Freshman tailback Jeff
Skursky converted the two-point
conversion to cut the WA deficit
to 33-23 at half.
GAR opened the half with a
46-yard scoring drive capped by
a 10-yard Wright run to push the
GAR lead to 40-23 just 59 sec-
onds into the third quarter.
After an awkward pitch at-
tempt on the kick return that re-
sulted in a 20-yard loss, the War-
riors started the drive at their
own13-yard line. On third-and-7
fromthe16, OBrien hit Schmitz
for a big conversion. Then after
twoOBriengains of sixandsev-
en yards, he ripped off a 19-yard
run. On the next play OBrien
went for 34 before being tackled
at the GAR eight-yard line.
OBrien took the next play for
five yards to the three and two
plays later Skursky lowered his
shoulder and plowed his way
through the middle for a three-
yard touchdown run cutting the
lead to 40-30 with 5:48 left in the
third.
On GARs third play of its next
possession, Crawford attempted
a pass over the middle that was
snagged out of the air by Jordan
Zezza at the WA 33.
It took WA just four plays to
score when Skursky punched the
ball infromthe one-yardline fol-
lowing a 62 yard scamper by
OBrien, who used good blocks
in the secondary to free him for
the big gain. The touchdown put
the Warriors within three at 40-
37 at the 2:27 mark of the third
quarter.
You cant ask for more from
number eight, said Spencer
about his junior quarterbackwho
went over the1,700-yard rushing
mark for the season.
The Grenadiers once again
used the big play to put points on
the board when Crawford hit
Shaliek Powell with a well-
placed deep ball for a 37-yard
score. The extra point was no
good and the GAR lead was 46-
OBrien sets career high with 321 yards on 36 carries

They play by major league
rules, and now they will play
with major league equipment.
The Wyoming Valley Amer-
ican Legion Baseball League
will use wooden bats starting
next season when the 2012 cam-
paign opens in June.
It will eliminate the contro-
versy over the aluminum bats,
said Greater Pittston Manager
Drew Whyte. I had no idea
what was legal and what was not
legal, so that aspect is gone.
Also gone will be the exorbi-
tant costs of buying aluminum
bats for local players and their
parents.
We can get three bats for the
price of one, said Old Forge
Post 513 Business Manager
Chris Thomas. It will be very
cost effective for us.
According to Whyte, alumi-
num bats can cost anywhere
from $300 up to $500, whereas
wooden bats will cost only $100.
Greater Pittston does not
supply the bats for the kids, they
supply their own. So the cost for
them will be less, added
Whyte.
The veteran GP Legion coach
also believes going to wooden
bats will improve the quality of
play.
Everything has gone to of-
fense. Everyone wants to hit
homeruns, said Whyte of the
high-tech aluminum bats being
used today. Now we are going
to go back and learn howto play
small ball, sacrifice runners,
and hit the ball to right field.
These are all lost arts in the
game.
And going to wooden bats
will not affect how scouts look
at players. If they knowyou play
in a wooden bat league they ad-
just your stats. Good players
will be noticed whether they are
using wood or aluminum. The
players like the (Paul) Chmiels
and (Chris) Tontes, it wont
make a difference. Thats how
good they were.

allowing a first down until the
fourth quarter. There is nothing
likeit. It was likepitchingaperfect
game in a major league game in
front of 20,000 people. I dont
knowhowmany people were here
tonight, but thats what it was like.
Our crowdreallygot intoit and
really helped our defense out
there.
OldForge allowedjust sixyards
total offenseinthefirst half asRiv-
erside gained just 10 yards on 12
carries while being held to minus-
four yards on 3-of-12 passing.
Thesecondhalf was moreof the
same by the Blue Devils as they
took the third quarter kickoff and
drove 65 yards on 13 plays to put
another score on the board.
Febbo capped the drive with a
two-yardplunge togive OldForge
a34-0leadafter haulinginaCarey
pass for six yards on fourth-and-4
from the Riverside 8. Mancusos
extra-point was wide right, keep-
ing the game from going into the
mercy rule at the 5:54 mark of the
third quarter.
The Big Blue Wrecking Crew
forced another three-and-out, and
Carey, Febbo and Tomasetti
rushedfor another 40yards before
CareyfoundArgust behindthede-
fense for a 28-yard touchdown on
fourth-and-14for a41-0leadas the
fourth quarter began.
I told (Colin) the whole game I
could beat my defender and I was
getting upset they werent throw-
ingme the ball, saidArgust of his
second touchdown catch of the
game. Colin just threw it up and
put it where I could go get it.
Theoffensivelinewasgreat to-
night. The backs were able to just
pound the ball, and we just kept
gettingfirst downs. Ithought it was
going to be a lot closer than it was.
They just handed it right to us.
Old Forge added another score
after stopping Riverside on anoth-
er fourth down in its own territory.
Reserve quarterback Brendan
Wahl hit Elijah Wilson for 34-
yards on fourth-and-7 before call-
ing his own number on a 1-yard
sneak to give the Blue Devils a
47-0 lead with 6:45 left.
The Vikings finally picked up a
first down on a seven-yard pass
from John Plisko to Tom Lavelle
on third-and-5 from its own 34
with 4:38 left in the game against
the Old Forge reserves. Five plays
later, Hakeem Lincoln got River-
side on the board with a five-yard
run with 1:11 left. Lincoln rushed
for 76 yards on12 carries for Riv-
erside, but 48 of those yards came
on one carry during the Vikings
lone scoring drive.
We had unfinished business,
said Schuback. Our kids wanted
to play them again the minute the
hornwent off (after thefirst game).
Theyfelt theydidnt givetheir best
effort that night. But I wascautious
because sometimes youhave tobe
careful what youwishfor. We also
thought (Riverside) might be a lit-
tle overconfident coming back
here.
"It was almost a mirror of what
Lackawanna Trail did. They did a
lot better coming here the second
timearoundandweexpectedtodo
the same. We did a phenomenal
job the second time around.
We thought our speed on de-
fense in a couple different looks
was going to be the difference to-
night. I thought the fact that we are
familiar with our field helped us
relax. We put a couple of different
packages in, and the kids the last
three weeks have been flying
around. Wegavethemacoupledif-
ferent coverages, a couple differ-
ent looks out of the fronts, and our
kids love it because its different.
Its not just the same ordinary de-
fense. It gives us lifewithguys fly-
ing all over the place having fun.
Our kids and coaches gave a
great effort anddidagreat job. Im
very proud of our players and our
coaches.
Led by Trottas seven tackles,
the Old Forge defense had its best
outing of the season, allowing the
Riverside offense only two first
downs and 97 yards of total of-
fense. Junior Mike Vieira checked
in with six tackles, and Ciuccio
added four tackles, including two
for losses.
We had something to play for
tonight,saidCiuccio. Wealways
have the rivalry between us and
Riverside, but this was special to-
night playing for a district cham-
pionshipwiththeseries beingtied.
I believed we would have suc-
cess but not on this level. Its very
exciting.
The defense was the differ-
ence, Trotta said referring to the
BlueDevils15-14losstoRiverside
earlier in the season. That game
was like an awakening. We were
readytogofromkickoff tothe end
of the game. Last time everything
went right for themandeverything
went wrong for us. But tonight we
just game out and played our
game. As soonas that game ended
weknewthescoredidnt reflect the
type of team we were and we just
built onthat fromthat weekon. We
used the loss as motivation.
I cant describe how excited I
amtobe part of this. I waitedthree
yearstoget hereandImnot letting
it go.
Tomasetti finished his night
with 116 yards rushing on 14 car-
ries, while Careyfollowedwith80
yardson13carries. Febbochecked
inwith64yardson16carriesasthe
Blue Devils rushed 53 times for
287 yards on the night.
We thought we hit a wall the
last two weeks, so we kind of went
back to basics, said Schuback of
his teams running attack. We
knewwe had to run the ball a little
better this week and we changed
some things up for the offensive
line to make it a little easier on
them. We just thought we could
take advantage of their size inside
using our stretch plays and obvi-
ously it worked.
I thought CoachJP(Gutowski)
and Coach Mike (Cusumano) did
a great jobof gettingthe kids fired
up before the game, and I just told
themthreewords, Attitude, desire
and effort. Those are the three
words we needed to portray. I told
them, people remember you for
howyou play. They dont remem-
ber that you are 8-1, 9-2. They re-
member you for how you play.
They walk out of here thinking,
Wow. Look at that kid run. Look
at that kid hit. So we just stressed
to the team that this is not just a
game for this team, for this year,
but a game for this program.
"Every year is great, but this
year means a little bit more. I cant
lie, being with my son everyday
makes it special. And being
around these seniors when we
thought we had it two years ago
andwherewethought wewouldbe
and where we would go makes it
sweeter. Havingit cut short, onthis
field, by (Riverside) There was
noremorsethen, andwereminded
our guys of that tonight. Therewas
noremorse for what theydida few
years ago and we wanted to make
sure our guys understood that.
They had their dreamlast year. Its
our turn this year. Why not us? No
one expected us to be here so why
play tight. Why not us?

ternet. The Warrior Legacy Project can be viewed at
www.wyomingareafootball.org
For each year, the following sections of the football program
can be viewed from the web site: program cover, senior pic-
tures, team picture, scores of games. Thus far, with the excep-
tion of 1981 and 1985, all programs since 1980 have been
posted. Programs and printed materials from 1966 to 1979 are
needed. Pictures of cheerleaders and coaches are also being
captured and will be posted at a later date.
Anyone who has a 1981 or 1985 Warrior football program, or
programs printed from 1966 to 1979, is asked to contact Nick
Perugini at nperugini@aol.com. Materials will be scanned
and returned promptly to the owner.

PA Cage Boosters
meeting this week
37 with 11:11 left in the game.
After recovering the GAR
squib kick at the 50, OBrien
went for three, nine and seven
yards to put the ball at the GAR
31.
Zezza kept the ball on the op-
tion for two and then OBrien
went for 11 yards on the third-
and-1. After an OBrien five-
yard carry, Popovich went for
one before OBrien used a good
block by Zielinski and banged
his way off defenders into the
endzone for a12-yard score. The
extra point cut the lead to 46-44
with less than eight minutes left
in the game.
GAR would use an eight-play,
70-yard drive to chew up 4:05
capped off by a one-yard Lucas
Benton run to bump the Grena-
dier lead to 53-44 with 3:32 left
in the game.
The Warriors started the most
important drive of their season
fromtheir own 40. OBrien went
for five and then seven before he
was then stopped for minus-two.
After an incompletion on a deep
attempt on second down,
OBrien hit Zezza for 25 over the
middle for a critical conversion.
After spiking the ball, OBrien
kept the ball in his hands, but he
would cough it up after getting
hit hard on the second down run.
The Grenadiers recovered the
fumble to secure the victory, and
their second straight district title.
What a great season. Every
season is a journey and I think
you have to look at success in
terms of the challenges you face
and how you responded, and its
not where you start its where
you finish, said Spencer.
I couldnt be more proud of
our kids and our coaching staff.
They did a great job every game.
We are in the game to win the
game and we had our opportuni-
ties and we never quit. We fought
to the very end, I couldnt be
more proud of our kids

the need is particularly great.
Send your donations to school in

al collection, as the winter sea-

FY 2011 CITY OF PITTSTON
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK
GRANT PROGRAM
NOTICE OF FINDING AND PUBLIC
EXPLANATION
FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT
To all interested agencies, groups and
persons:
In accordance with the provisions of the
U.S. Water Resources Council's Floodplain
Management Guidelines for implementing
Executive Order 11988, the City of Pittston
announces its findings and intent to pro-
ceed with the following project:
Citywide Spot Demolition
Program (multi-year) CDBG funds will
be used to demolish deteriorated residen-
tial structures located throughout the city.
This project will improve living conditions in
Pittston by mitigating blight and increasing
the safety of residents through the
removal of dangerous, dilapidated homes.
Specific sites are yet to be identified.
The above-referenced action was adver-
tised on October 30, 2011, and comments
were requested from the public because
the proposed activities are or may be
located in the 100-year floodplain. Com-
ments received by December 1, 2011, will
be incorporated into the Environmental
Review Record for the Citys projects.
Our evaluation of the program on an
aggregate basis has resulted in the deter-
mination that there are no practical alter-
natives to the preceding proposed activi-
ties. The programs implementation has
been designed so that no mitigation tech-
niques are necessary to avoid adverse
impacts on the floodplain, and there is no
risk to life and property.
These actions conform to applicable state
or local floodplain protection standards
and the criteria of the National Flood Insur-
ance Program. The Environmental Review
Record available in the City of Pittston
documents the reasons why the projects
must be located in a floodplain, a descrip-
tion of all significant facts considered in
making the determinations, including alter-
native sites and actions, and any mitigat-
ing techniques incorporated into the proj-
ects as proposed.
Because the program is local in nature,
publication of this notice in a newspaper of
local circulation has been deemed appro-
priate. The City of Pittston has concluded
that the projects will not result in new or
adverse effects on the natural or benefi-
cial values of the floodplain. Comments
should be submitted to Mr. Gerald
Mullarkey, Redevelopment Authority of the
City of Pittston, 35 Broad St., Suite 202,
Pittston, PA 18640.

cancelled. It
became evident
that the Rams would
be unable to suc-
cessfully close out
the raffle on Sep-
tember 18th. The
time lost to the flood

refund the monies
collected from the
sale of the raffle
ticket(s) to those

the ticket stub
should retain a copy
of the stub(s) for
themselves and for-
ward the original

Please be sure to
include your full

The Rams will then
send a check to the
presenter equal to
$5 per ticket pre-
sented. Should you
wish to donate the

you purchased back
to the Association,
please follow the
above procedure
and include a note
