When whistles ruled BY ED E ROGERS FOR THE ADVANTAGE
I understand that the original Gamewell system using cast iron call boxes has been replaced by modern equipment. This, coupled with the Lackawanna County 911 telephone system, makes sounding an alarm more efficient. Thanks to this modern technology, volunteer firemen who have cell phones (who doesn’t have one) are alerted to an alarm and are even provided with the best route to get to the scene. The roundhouse whistle wasn’t the only railroad-related horn that could be heard in many parts of the Pioneer City – especially on cold winter nights. Train whistles are used to communicate with other railroad workers on a train or in the yard. Different combinations of long and short whistles each have their own meaning. They are used to pass instructions, as a safety signal and to warn of impending movements of a train. The D&H ran approximately 24 trains a day between Wilkes-Barre and Oneonta, N.Y. They all had to climb one side or the other of Ararat Mountain, one of the steepest grades on any railroad in the country. And they all required “pushers” or helper engines the operations of which were carefully coordinated using locomotive whistle signals. The northbound trains stopped in the Carbondale yards to change to more powerful locomotives that were needed to climb the big hill. The line’s famous Challenger-type engines generally got the call with one on the head end and two or three more on the rear. An additional locomotive was tagged onto the back of the caboose that ran with the train from Carbondale, and dropped off at Forest City. This tail-end helper was known
In the days before CB radios, pagers and cell phones, whistles played an important role in the lives of most Carbondaleans. I can still remember the one at the D&H roundhouse signaling the time for shifts to start and quit, the time to break for lunch and, most importantly, the need for volunteer firemen to respond to an alarm. On cold winter nights, sometimes I think I can still hear the whistles of steam locomotives as they are moved into place for the big push up Ararat Mountain. There was a whistle at the Coalbrook Colliery power plant where, my father spent 30 years tending the big boilers that produced steam to turn the electric generators. The steam also operated the colliery whistle which, at certain times, sounded at 6 p.m. to tell miners whether there would be work the next day. The D&H roundhouse whistle is the one people of my era probably remember most. It could be heard throughout the city. It went silent when the change from steam to diesel locomotives made the huge 42-stall structure unneeded. Eventually it was torn down. In its heyday, the whistle sounded at 7 a.m. and 3 and 11 p.m. for the start of shifts, at noon and 7 p.m. for the start of lunch breaks and 20 minutes later when it was time to get back to work. Summoning volunteer firemen when alarms were sounded from any of the 50 or so corner call boxes was one of the more important jobs for the roundhouse whistle. When a box was “pulled” by someone reporting a fire, a signal went to the Columbia and Mitchell Hose Co. stations where paid drivers were on duty around the clock. The signal also went to the roundhouse. The person on duty at the D&H facility sounded a series of short and longer blasts to alert firemen. For instance, Box 12 at Belmont and Canaan streets would be identified by one long and two short blasts. The one my mother could always remember was Box 58 located at Pike Street at the Lookout, the place the D&H Honesdale Branch cut off the main line. There was a “lookout” tower there. Cards with a list of all box numbers and their locations printed on them made good advertising pieces for local merchants and they were found posted in conspicuous placSteam whistles like this one told workes in most homes.
ers when to work and when to stop.
as the “Forest City Kicker.” The lead engineer handled the entire train’s air brake while each helper engineer had an independent brake for just his engine. Two long blasts on the lead engine whistle told the helpers to release their brakes and proceed. The helper engineers repeated the two long blasts in response and opened the throttle to push in the slack. This meant a lot of whistle blowing and especially on a cold night it was clearly audible. There were other signals, too: three shorts for backing up; two longs, a short and another long when approaching a grade crossing. There is a long list. Many locomotive engineers had their own style of blowing the whistle, and, to someone familiar with such things, it was often apparent who was at the throttle. Today, the only signals you’re likely to hear regularly on the old D&H line between Scranton and Carbondale are from Delaware Lackawanna diesels signaling for grade crossings. The roundhouse, pusher engines and work schedule whistles are all gone, victims of modern technology.

Not only have I been voted Scrantons Best Chiropractor, but a Gallop poll found that 90% of Chiropractic patients say their care is helpful for a variety of conditions. The US Secretary of Health and Human Services submitted a report to Congress on Chiropractic services under Medicare, noting that 87 percent were highly satisfied with their Care. Similarly high proportions reported that Chiropractors listened carefully and spend sufficient time with them. You get great results because we take the time to listen to you and address your specific concerns. Another study done by the US Agency for Health Care Policy and Research concluded that only spinal manipulation offers both functional improvement and symptomatic relief. To put it another way: Chiropractic care helps your joints work properly and makes you feel better! In another study, an orthopedic surgeon studied patients who were totally disabled from low back pain. What he found was that with Chiropractic care, over 70% of them improved to the point of having no work restrictions.

Teachers trained for emergencies
As a result of the increase in school shooting incidents, teachers are getting new training to learn how to “Stop the Bleed” after an injury. A committee of emergency personnel recently trained the Carbondale Area teachers in all procedures necessary to stop uncontrolled bleeding, which is the number-one cause of preventable death from trauma. The team consisted of J. Veina, Jesse VanDeusen, Kay Bommer and Tim Baron, who demonstrated the exact techniques necessary including applying pressure, using a tourniquet and packing or stuffing the wound. The team also donated two bleeding control kits to the school district, one for the high school, and one for the elementary. SUBMITTED PHOTO

BIG BUSINESS and POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES are Spending Thousands to Attack the JESSUP INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS for Standing with Residents Since the Jessup Independent Democrats began serving on Jessup Borough Council in 2018, they have employed a “People-First” philosophy that has yielded POSITIVE RESULTS FOR JESSUP RESIDENTS. They have, as promised, performed due diligence on important decisions that have garnered additional revenue from Invenergy, additional tax revenue from developers in LERTA agreements, and additional revenue from grants obtained by the newly formed grant committee. They have obtained additional protections for residents in a sewer agreement with Invenergy, and they have taken appropriate steps in zoning to keep heavy truck traffic, excessive pollution, and increased noise out of Jessup’s residential areas, all while delivering meaningful tax relief to residents with the elimination of the existing garbage fee.
OUT-OF-TOWN DEVELOPERS AND POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES WANT JESSUP INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATS OFF COUNCIL SO BAD THEY WILL LITERALLY SAY ANYTHING POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE LIE: They say the Jessup Independent Democrats have stopped ALL development in Jessup. THE TRUTH: Within the last year, the Jessup Borough council has approved plans for two-million square feet of warehouse development on the industrial side of the Casey Highway where heavy industry belongs.
POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE LIE: They say that the actions of the Jessup Independent Democrats will result in higher taxes and increased burdens placed on seniors and residents. THE TRUTH: The Jessup Independent Democrats have actually already approved a $120 ANNUAL TAX CUT for all residents by eliminating the existing garbage fee while their opponents opposed it.
BIG BUSINESS LIE: They say the Jessup Independent Democrats have managed the borough in a way that will lead to DECREASED Tax Revenue. THE TRUTH: The Jessup Independent Democrats have led a council that did not a take a developer’s first offer on a tax forgiveness request but instead negotiated to get tax revenue from developers on day one.
BIG BUSINESS LIE: They say that the Jessup Independent Democrats are “flushing away your money.” THE TRUTH: Jessup Independent Democrats used expert advice, at the developer’s expense, to obtain an additional $675,000 from Invenergy and demonstrated fiscal responsibility by obtaining retroactively $55,000 of taxpayer money that the prior council spent without even looking for grants.

Sc hool new S Dani-elle brings ‘positive youth tour’ to Carbondale
Headed to Lackawanna College
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Carbondale Area hosted an assembly for students in grades seven through nine, which featured Dani-elle, a country music artist from the area. Dani Sings is the name of her presentation which begins with an anti-bullying talk and ends as a motivational rock concert. In April 2018, Dani-elle came out with a new single “Get Back Up” a song that inspired these shows, which she calls her “Positive Youth Tour,” a series of live shows performed at schools in Lackawanna and Susquehanna counties. The concerts include segments during which Dani-elle speaks to students about following their dreams, bullying and self-worth.
