TONY CALLAIO/FOR THE SUNDAY DISPATCH
After you rather than let me go first. Some even speed up on approach for fear I will force my way out and make them apply their brakes. They give me credit for more courage than I have. That’s why I was so surprised last week when twice – twice, mind you – on the same day, drivers stopped and allowed me to go first. Both were men and senior citizens, further evidenced when each acknowledge my wave of thanks with a tip of the hat. It was like stepping back in time. Several years ago I was at a conference and during one of the break-out sessions the speaker asked us to name some things that would shock someone who had fallen asleep 50 years ago and then awakened in the 1980s. Most people said things like the cost of a loaf of bread. I said it would be the deserted neighborhoods during the day, with every mom working and every young child in day

care. Today, I would say the rudeness that permeates our society, the total lack of manners and common courtesy. I think they’d find it hard to believe because it wasn’t always this way. I recall interviewing the late George W. Bainbridge when he was in his late 80s, perhaps older, and delivering Meals on Wheels to shut-ins most of whom were 15 to 20 years his junior. He talked about growing up in West Wyoming. He told me his family raised pigs. “But the biggest, plumpest one,” he said, “well, we didn’t even get the squeal out of that one. That one was for the neighbors.” Another old-timer, Chet Szumski, of Dupont, said the same thing in a different way about his youth during the Great Depression: “It was a time when no one had anything, but we were willing to share it.” The other-centeredness of Americans was legendary: the Hershey bars to children in
Europe during World War II; the Marshall Plan after the war. A friend of mine was a little girl living in Germany at the end of World War II and tells the story of an American G.I. giving her the first piece of chewing gum she ever tasted. Even in battle it was a sense of duty to the other that motivated U.S. soldiers to press on. In a documentary about the Battle of the Bulge, when asked how he summoned the courage to fight against formidable odds, if he fought for his country or maybe for a girl back home, a soldier said, “No, you don’t even think about those things.” “Then, what?” the interviewer asked. To which the soldier responded, “You fight for the guy standing next to you.” In more recent times – if I can dare call the late ‘60s and early ‘70s recent – a version of fighting for the guy next to you was evident, of all places, on the football field. It’s the story of a gifted, eventual Hall of

Fame running back for the Chicago Bears named Gayle Sayers and a teammate of considerably less natural talent named Brian Piccolo. If you do not know Sayers, look up his statistics. He was incredible. If you do not know Brian Piccolo, watch the movie “Brian Song.” And have a box of tissues close by. The movie is based on a segment of a book written by Sayers, who was an All American at the University of Kansas and one of the best college football players in the country when he graduated. Even as a rookie, he took the NFL by storm. And, although his career was cut short by injury, he is still considered one of the greatest ever. The title of the book, I am third, is a simple statement of the guiding philosophy of Gayle Sayers’ life: “God is first, others are second, and I am third.” Imagine the possibilities if we all felt this way.

A riddle, of sorts: You are behind the wheel of your car, stopped at an intersection planning to make a left turn. A car approaches from you right with blinker indicating the driver intends to turn left into the street from which you are attempting to exit. The driver of the car stops and waves you forward before making the turn. How old is the driver? Answer: over 60. What’s the catch? None, really. It’s just that my own observations have told me common courtesies such as the one described here are largely evident only in the older generation. No 20-something, or 30-something on up to even 50-something would stop in that situation and yield the right-of-way. Okay, maybe a few. But my experience has been that most drivers will go out of their way, at times quite a bit out of their way, to get around my vehicle

said, which is used for baseball bats, is the best, but hard to find. Many of his sticks are made from red or black maple. Lengthwise cracks are okay. “Cracks add character,” he said. “Even with the cracks, the maple won’t break.”
To be sure he’ll swing the branch like a bat off a tree or boulder. Length is important. “Too long and you’re like the Pope,” he said with a chuckle. An ideal length is at the forearm when it’s parallel to the ground. Sometimes he’ll leave a short knuckle on a stick if it’s well-placed for a grip. He makes running sticks, too. See STICKS, Page 25

ne day more than 30 years ago on one of his daily walks around Lake Scranton, Marty Boone picked up a tree branch from the trail. He was feeling lonely and thinking about his wife Nancy who had died a few years earlier. Friends and family were worried about him. He had known Nancy since grade school and he was not getting over her death. Boone doesn’t know why exactly, but he took the tree branch home that day. He sawed off the smaller branches. With a linoleum knife, the tool of his trade, he cut the branche’s knuckles down. By hand he sanded the stick smooth. He clear-coated it. He hammered a rubber furniture leg bumper on to one end, drilled a hole in the other, threaded a length of leather boot lace through the hole and tied it with a square knot for a strap. He liked the feel of the wood. He liked the work. He felt better. Three decades and hundreds of walking sticks later, Boone, though 86 and slowed by arthritis in his hands, is still at it. His work shop is simple, a bench and a vice. His tools are his linoleum knives, a file and a drill. He works two to three days a week, two to three hours at a time. As he works, raw branches he collected from Lake

Schott Technologies hires 9 apprentices to train and educate
JOB TRAINING
Schott apprentice Jack Pierce of Avoca examines a glass corner cube for laser rangefinding at the plant in Duryea.
By JOE HEALEY
jhealey@psdispatch.com
Schott Technologies in Duryea uses workers with skills so specialized, it’s hard for them to find qualified help. Their solution, which has been used in their German plants for 50 years, is an apprenticeship program. The program, which welcomed its first class of nine apprentices this week, provides on the job training at the facility and classroom training. “They learn theory and they learn the hands-on skills at the same time,” said Anne Marie Martin, human resources specialist at Schott. Tom Petro, a 2007 Pittston Area graduate, is a machine operator apprentice. His father also works for Schott. Of the nine apprentices, two of their fathers work for Schott. Petro attended Luzerne County Community College for a year and last had a job in a warehouse. “This was a great opportunity,” Petro said. “Everyone has been so great
here.” Schott has partnered with Johnson College in Scranton, Lackawanna Career and Technology Center and Penn Foster Career School in Scranton. “Many high school and college graduates are struggling to find a good job with a living wage,” Martin said. “Too many are caught in the Catch-22 that is often the hiring process: to find work, they need experience, but they can only gain experience from working. Schott’s apprenticeship program slices through this contradiction…..” Of the nine apprentices, four are military veterans. Chris Coaty of Kingston spent three years in the U.S. Army stationed at Fort Bragg, N.C. He was a graphics illustrator but was looking for an apprenticeship. “This stuck out for me,” Coaty said. “I applied and I got it. It’s really a dream come true.” The nine apprentices, culled from 250 applica-

tions, can learn one of three tracks of trades: glass operator generalist, mason-metalsmith, and maintenance-machinist. After
the program, they will earn their journeyman certification from the state and will likely be offered jobs. Duryea is the first facil-
ity of Schott’s eight U.S. plants that is beginning such an apprenticeship program. Jack Pierce of Avoca attended West Side Career and Technical Center and was looking for a job. “When I first applied, it was on a whim,” Pierce said. “I was just looking for a job. But once I got up here and they started showing me around, I was vastly impressed by this company. I felt that I should try to be a part of this company.” Schott has an impressive portfolio. The international firm has more than 125 years of experience in the areas of specialty glass and advanced technologies. Its core markets are the household appliance, pharmaceuticals, electronics, optics, solar power, transportation and architecture industries. Its workforce of around 17,000 employees worldwide with sales of $4 billion for the 2010/2011 fiscal year. Landon Monte of Dallas thought the program was too good to be true. “In all honesty, just to
put a different spin on it, before I knew anything about the company and listening to the benefits of the program, I almost thought it was that snake charm kind of thing,” he said. “Now that I’m actually here in the flesh, the proof’s in the pudding. It’s a great program.” Trainer Dave Herron of Duryea has worked at Schott for 40 years. He started in 1972 and he recently traveled to Mainz, Germany, for the Train the Trainer Program. He’s now teaching his skills to a new generation of workers. “I’d like to see this company head into the future,” Herron said. “A lot of people will be retiring shortly and there’s nobody really to take their place.” Christine Jensen, director of the CareerLink office in Wilkes-Barre, praised the program. “It’s really forward thinking and proactive and companies should be doing more of this, although we should also be educating our students at a very young age about the need to learn some of these skills,” Jensen told the Times Leader.

Dust of your lederhosen, Oktoberfest returns to Pittston Beer will be flowing and food will be cooking on upper Tomato Festival lot, adjacent to the firehouse on Friday and Saturday, said Pittston councilman and event organizer Joe Chernouskas “Two years ago we started it and had a small celebration,” he said. But the September flooding last year put the festival on hold. “This year we’re back, and each year we’re going to try to keep making it bigger and bigger.” Beer on tap will be provided by Susquehanna Brewing Company and L.T Verrastro. The beer stand will be located inside the firehouse. A fire pit will keep patrons warm if there’s an autumn chill in the air. And there will be plenty to do for the kids as well. “We’ll have some children’s activities and face painting, things like that,” Chernouskas

said. “We’re billing this as a family event.” Admission is free and Oktoberfest will go from 5 to 11 p.m. on Friday and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday. Entertainment will be provided by Richie Kossuth of Rock Street Music and organizers are working on bringing in a German band as well. And don’t forget the food. Local restaurants, including Sabatelles, and the Junior Patriots will be making potato pancakes and the Little League team will be selling nachos and pretzels. College football fans can enjoy Saturday’s games on two 40 inch televisions, which will be raffled off at the conclusion of Oktoberfest. Proceeds from Oktoberfest will benefit the Pittston City Little League and the Pittston Junior Patriots Football Association. “The great thing about events like this, it brings people downtown,” he said “We have a vibrant downtown now and we’re just adding to that.”

Debbie Switzer faces adversity with a song in her heart
By JACK SMILES

irst her home on North Street in West Pittston burned down. She and her husband built a new one. That one was flooded. Then, at age 58, she lost her job as a social worker. So what did Debbie Switzer do? She sang. Unable to find a job, Switzer, who had decades of social work experience, especially in aging, went to the Small Business Development Center at Wilkes. With the help of the people there, she started her own oneperson business called The Friendly Helper (thefriendlyhelper.net), which she designed to offer personal services to the elderly doing everything from errands and chores to navigating government services. Switzer said the hardest part of her business is taking money, but she said, “I have to pay the bills.” One client at a care home asked her to read the Bible. That turned into a Bible study that has grown to six. That’s a job she won’t take money for. To promote the business,
Switzer - who had sung professionally while living in Kansas City in the 1970s in a “King Henry’s Feast” dinner show, with a touring cover band called Starkite and locally with Exact Change and Marty Edwards - put together a song list and, backed by accompaniment CDs, offered to sing at senior centers. Her plan was to sing at the centers and then distribute her business brochures. When she was told she couldn’t solicit that way, she agreed to sing at the centers for free. She enjoys it so much she’s done eight such shows and has more scheduled. She sings from a list of 75 songs from which the audience can choose. She closes the show by singing songs from a CD she recorded several years ago. Switzer was a hit at the Falls Senior Center recently. “Our people couldn’t get enough of her,” center director Twila Wat-

people and loves to sing.” Watkins was impressed by Switzer’s Karen Carpenter covers. Though Switzer does a mean Karen Carpenter, she prefers singing men’s songs. “Karen Carpenter is a little high for me,” she said. “My voice is a little lower. I got those genes from my grandfather.” Her grandfather was J. Henry Morgan, a Welsh baritone from West Pittston who sang with a popular singing group the Black Diamonds in the 1940s and 50s, was a regular on WBRE radio, performed at the Met, Carnegie
Hall and in Europe and was a multiple winner of Welsh singing competitions known as Eisteddfodds. Switzer won an Eisteddfodd herself, having entered the contest as a tribute to her grandfather and singing his version of “The Lord’s Prayer.” Switzer’s song list includes male singers from the Beatles to Hank Williams to Andy Williams. “I’ve done eight shows so far, six at senior centers,” Switzer said. “Harding, Lake Winola, Tunkannock, Nanticoke and the Edwardsville Senior Centers. Then I sang at The Laurels in
Wyoming, High Meadows in Dallas and I have Wesley Village coming up next week. I close the show with Christian music and tell a funny story of how I became a Christian 30 years ago.” Swizter’s original song “Grandma’s Cinnamon Buns” is playing on a Nanticoke Christian music station, 94.5 FM, where she will do a half-hour radio show next week Switzer is married to Clark Switzer, a Wyoming Seminary teacher and local historian. The couple has two adult sons, sons Christian and Dustin, and two grandchildren, Isaac and Grace.

Library gets boost from P & G The Pittston Memorial Library’s Cosgrove Capital Campaign recently received a boost by way of a $5,000 grant from Procter & Gamble. P & G Paper Products Public Relations Manager Alex Fried presented the grant check which will be used for expansion of the library. The company also donated 10 desktop and laptop computers to the library. “We are so very grateful to have the support of Procter & Gamble for our expansion project,” stated library Director Anne Hogya. “The grant from Procter & Gamble puts the library another step closer to our goal.” The Cosgrove Capital Campaign, cochaired by Tom Tigue and Pat Solano, has a target of $1.2 million. All funds raised by the campaign will go to construct a 5,175 square foot addition to the existing library facility at 47 Broad St. in Pittston. The new addition will include a stateof-the-art community room, large enough for 100 people, and equipped with Smartboard, video-conference and WiFi capabilities. The new addition will also include a larger children’s section, an arts and crafts room, teen space, kitchenette, entrance and vestibule and other amenities

Stop the Bullying Before It Starts Is Your Child Being Bullied?
There also appears to be a strong relationship between childhood bullying and adult legal and criminal problems. Studies show that bullies are generally physically aggressive, hot tempered, easily angered and impulsive. Children and youth that are bullied are typically anxious, insecure, and cautious. They suffer from low self-esteem and rarely defend themselves.
Bullying can cause a problem with grades and school work. Worse yet they might want to fit in and become a member of a gang, try drugs or other illegal activity. Sometimes parents don’t realize it until the child reaches their teens and they start to see who they hang around with or a change in their attitudes and school work.

OUR OPINION PA has some work to do “It’s day 13 and I can’t stand you already.” This is what a Pittston Area teacher said to a student. And what, to the teacher’s surprise, was recorded by another student on a cell phone. While we don’t doubt that some students may have the ability to frustrate a teacher even during the short time period of 13 days, we are appalled that a professional would resort to such a remark. Part of teaching is dealing with a variety of students with a variety of behavioral issues. All teachers know this. And all teachers have been trained in ways to handle it. Surely, remarks such as this are not one of the recommended ways. Pittston Area’s verbal reprimand of the teacher was swift and appropriate. But the letter sent by union Vice President Rocco D’Angelo was not. The letter began with: “It is of utmost importance to conduct ourselves in a professional manner,” and included: “since we all get painted with the same brush by the public let’s try giving them nothing negative to paint with.” Fine. But it also included this: “I fear that students and parents will now, more than ever try to implicate us in their misplaced blame for their own inadequacies as parents.” What could D’Angelo have been thinking? Or is this exactly what he was thinking? Don’t blame us for our outbursts, parents, blame yourselves. And are other Pittston Area teachers okay with this remark? We certainly hope not. In an editorial last week, the Times Leader suggested: Here’s a thought: A teacher always should behave as though on camera. It’s called “being professional.” Teaching today is probably harder than ever. But that means maintaining a professional demeanor is all the more important. Pittston Area superintendent Michael Garzella issued a press release Tuesday which included the following: “Any and all alleged incidents of bullying; student-to-student, teacher-to-student or student-to-teacher will be investigated and responded to appropriately,” and the board “has pledged its full support in helping the Administration enforce these principles.” Good. We hope all the good the teachers painted with the same brush do likewise.
YOUR OPINION Proud to have been raised in a loving, caring community On Sept. 14, I attended a memorial for my dear neighbor Nancy Anna Gross. I live on a dead-end street called Wyoming Campground Road. Anyone who was raised on this street became a part of a loving, caring family who always was a part of this beautiful, caring world we share here. When I was born 28 years ago, Grandma Gross knew my father was already deceased. When I came home she had made me a hat, a sweater and an Afghan. To everyone here Nancy and Don have always been Dad and Mom or Grandma and Grandpa Gross. The people in our little community were raised to show love, respect and caring for everyone. When the minister asked for testimony about Nancy, people ranged in age from 8 to 60. Nancy was the mother of our
community who no one will forget. When she rang the bell for dinner, not only did her children come home but also the neighbors came home too. The community we share was in its capacity at the Tabernacle Bible Church overflowing to the community room in honor of a fine example of life, showing everyday love, respect and caring for everyone and each other. When you realize the families that have grown and moved to other states, other professions, and you hear the parents and children give testimony of our loving, sharing and committed family, I became overwhelmed with pride knowing this has been my heritage. I am so proud and grateful to have been raised in this community. Joshua Dale Sutton

An Italian double header church with a fanfare of music by the Pacci Band and placed on a flat bed truck decorated by Delores Infantino. A caravan will follow through the streets of Columbus Avenue, lower Brownstown, Pine Street and back to the church. A gala dinner was held last evening at St. Rocco’s School Auditorium with members and friends to keep this Italian tradition in honor of their parents and grandparents alive. Officers, members and friends of the ItalianAmerican Association of Luzerne County will be seated on the left of the church attending the same Mass in honor of Christopher Columbus in thanksgiving for his courage, vision and determination and in gratitude for this great nation of America. Following Mass the organization members and friends will caravan to the Columbus Statue on South Main Street where the annual program and wreath placing ceremony will take place. Judge Joseph Augello will preside at the ceremony. Italian marches and American patriotic selections will be performed by the Paci Band with onlookers clapping their hands to the beat of the music. Mr. James Deice is president of the association. The 35th Annual Columbus Day Dinner Dance will be held at Genetti’s Hotel and Convention Center this evening at 6:00 p.m. Mr. Leo Sperrazza will serve as toastmaster. The principal speaker is Attorney Joseph Giovannini, Jr. a member who was active with the association in its early inception. Attorney Giovanni, proud of his ancestry, will speak about the contributions made by Italian Americans to society through the years. The highlight of the evening will be the presentation of two prestigious awards. “Person of the Year Award” and “Lifetime Achievement Award”. The recipients have been selected for distinguished service to the Association and in Various Fields of Endeavor. Dedication and Untiring Efforts of Leadership and Volunteerism to the Community, County, and Church, promoting Italian Culture, Preserving Italian Traditions and Instilling Family Values. Attorney Girard Mecadon will be named “Person of the Year.” Attorney Mecadon a lifetime resident of Pittston Township has lent his talents, time and support to many civic and church organizations throughout the city and county. “The Lifetime Achievement Award” will be presented to Charles A. Adonizio, III, a well known realtor who has proven successful in his business life while maintaining and following the example set by his father the late Charles Adonizio, II. The Italian Double Header is a proud day for the descendants of Italian parents. It is an opportunity to reflect and give thanks for the sacrifices, inspiration and guidance given to us so that we have been able to pass them on to our children. As in a double header for those of us who will attend both functions it will be a little tiring but exhilarating. At evening’s end after the many hellos, hugs, kisses, hand shakes and a dance or two, we will take our pennant of pride and carry it in our memory and heart.
Plan dinner in 15 minutes or less Want to fit the recommended amount of vegetables into your family’s meals? Find it hard to make healthy decisions on the fly? Is “What’s for dinner” an alarming question? Many experts encourage health-conscious folks to plan their dinners prior to the day to help reduce the stress of a hurried decision. There are other reasons for planning what you and/or your family are going to eat ahead of time. If you plan your meals, you are less likely to eat out or to order a take-out meal. These have proven to be more expensive and usually do not include a variety of vegetables. Each week, health experts suggest that we include dark green, orange-red, dried beans and peas and limit starchy vegetables in our meals. Eating out gives us plenty of potatoes but less orange-red and even less dark green vegetable. A 50-plus female adult should include throughout the week 1 and ½ cups dark green vegetables, 4 cups of orange-red, 1 cup of dried beans and peas and only 4 cups of starch. That leaves 3 ½ cups of “other.” This might be a bit tricky if you don’t have a plan. Feel like you do not have time to make a menu? Take 15 minutes to hold a discussion around meals. Or, delegate this job to someone else, young or old. For instance, pass a piece of paper around to the family members. To begin, try by planning one to two meals in advance. Family members can write down the main dish, vegetable and fruit on the paper. This prevents them from verbally telling you and you trying to write everything down, especially when you are in the middle of something else. If family members are absent, leave them a note to write down their ideas on the “menu sheet.” Then review it. Does it have the suggested vegetables? Planning ahead also shortens the number of trips to the grocery store. Knowing ahead of time what you are going to eat enables you to make a list of foods you need and to check what you have on hand. Planning ahead also saves time. If you know ahead of time what you need to take out of the freezer, you will save defrosting time by thawing in the refrigerator, which is recommended. There are numerous reasons for taking 15 minutes to plan meals ahead. Eating healthier, saving time and money are just a few. Served with a dark green leafy salad, here is a recipe that includes all the categories of vegetables except starchy. One-Dish Rosemary Chicken and White Beans
2 teaspoons olive oil 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 8 skinless and boneless chicken thighs (about 1 pound) 1 (14.5-ounce) can stewed tomatoes, undrained 1 (15-ounce) can navy beans, rinsed and drained 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped- optional Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Combine rosemary and pepper; sprinkle over one side of chicken. Place chicken in pan with seasoned side down, cook 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and turn chicken. Add tomatoes and beans, cover and simmer 10 minutes or until chicken is done. Stir in olives. Serve with dark green leafy salad and or broccoli. This meal would give the dark green, orange – red and dry beans and peas recommendation for vegetables. Mary R.

Baseball fans are familiar with the term double header. It is two baseball games held on the same day one following the other. Today, Sunday, October 7, is a double header for Americans of Italian descent celebrating two traditional occasions which are meaningful and close to our hearts. The two celebrations are the Feast of the Mother of the Rosary and the Italian American Annual Dinner honoring the discoverer of America, Christopher Columbus. The events will begin in St. Joseph Marello Parish Community in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church on William Street at 11:l5 a.m. Mass commemorating both occasions. Members and descendants of the Montedoro Society and Orioles Club have reorganized to keep the devotions of the Mother of the Rosary alive. Lisa Infantino Joyce and Charles Infantino have taken lead roles in preserving a tradition that was paramount to their late father Joe I. Infantino. The festivities which for the past 89 years were held at St. Rocco’s Church mark their 90th year and first year from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel church. I called Rose Miceli Chiarelli (Aunt Rose) who for more than 60 years has been the maker and keeper of the decorative capes that adorn the Blessed Mother on her feast day and during the month of October to ask for her earliest recollections. According to Aunt Rose the statue of the Mother of the Rosary was housed in a home on Railroad Street before being taken to St. Rocco’s Church. Her early recollection of seeing the statue for the first time was at the age of five or six. She and her girlfriends who all lived on Pine Street wanted to see the statue. The friends, excepting Aunt Rose, entered the house. A warning given by her mother not to intrude was imbedded in her mind. She could not leave. With reserve she entered and saw the statue of the Blessed Mother and was mesmerized with the beauty of the Lady and Child. That began her undying devotion to the Blessed Mother. She knelt for a long while contemplating and asking the Mother why her baby had no clothes. That impression remained with her every time she saw the statue. In her early married life she began to make dresses for the infant and saw that He was outfitted for all church occasions. While the infant was properly dressed, the cape the original statue from Italy adorning the Mother was deteriorating and shabby. One day while working in their grocery store, Mrs. Carmella Milazzo asked her if she could sew a new cape for the Mother. Aunt Rose was taken aback for she was not capable of such a difficult, holy task and declined. Some time later Mrs. Milazzo pleaded with her. She said she would go from house to house in her bare feet asking donations of money for material for the cape. Uncle Charlie came forward and said, “Si, Carme, you don’t have to go anywhere barefoot. I’ll give you the money and Rosie will sew the cape.” With the old cape as a pattern a new mantle and others followed. The annual procession will begin at 3:00 p.m. today when the Mother and Child are carried from the

Question #1 In 1952, in what way were Hughestown residents happy to be represented at public events?
Peeking into the past With Judy Minsavage
1952 – 60 years ago In a letter to The Sunday Dispatch editor signed by “Band and Majorette Admirer,” a reader wrote, “Last week I witnessed the Pittston High School/ West Wyoming game. I like football but being a woman, the Pittston band and majorettes thrilled me more. The band was supreme and majorettes were sweet but will you please tell me where they pick up those long skirts? Compared to the West Wyoming majorettes skirts, they look as though they just came off a banana boat. Come on Pittston High, shorter skirts on our girls or let them continue wearing slacks.” Pittston City Clerk John McNulty was on the telephone with Mayor John Allardyce when a fast-moving storm struck the area. A bolt of lightning struck the telephone line and witnesses say a streak of light emanated from the phone, knocking McNulty off his feet. Office clerk Frances Krisosky and city health officer Mrs. Thomas Newcomb
ran to aid McNulty. He was dazed but survived the lighting strike. According to Snopes.com while many people usually survive, one person on average is killed per year by lightning while talking on the telephone. P.F.C. Robert Shimley returned home to Duryea for a 30-day furlough after serving as a machine gunner with B. Company 1st Bn, 7th Marine Corp.

Kulick, of Dupont, stationed on the USS Kearsarge in the Pacific picked up Schirra 40 minutes after successfully landing 4.5 miles from the target point and 0.5 miles from the Kearsarge. The capsule was hoisted aboard and Schirra blew the explosive hatch and climbed out to a waiting crowd. Schirra chose the name for the capsule using the mathematical symbol for summation as appropriate for an “engineering evaluation” and the “7” to refer to the seven Mercury astronauts. Twenty-two families living in Harding and Falls had a problem of how to transport their children to the four Pittston area parochial schools, Immaculate Conception in West Pittston; St. John the Baptist, St John the Evangelist and St. Mary’s Assumption Schools in Pittston.

FACTS OF LAW
By Dominick P. Pannunzio, Esq.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a judge’s ruling that a Virginia man convicted of hiring someone to kill his marijuana supplier should be exonerated and freed from death row because prosecutors withheld evidence that would have discredited their key witness. *** The City of Chicago City Council has enacted an ordinace prohibiting minors under the age of 18 from using indoor tanning beds at Chicago salons. *** The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that evne if a homeowner give police permission to enter his or her home, they aren’t necessarily offering an invitation for police to explore their entire house. The rules for law enforcement, as expressed in a consenting opinion: “When you have consent to enter into one’s living room, you are not invited into the kitchen, or the bedroom, or the basement.” *** A new scholarship tax-credit program benefiting low-income families in New Hampshire and a measure in Mississippi for dyslexic children are two new programs that make for a total of 31 publicly funded private school choice programs in 16 states nationwide.

Short sticks with a knuckle grip in the middle made for carrying. Boone taught himself to make the sticks. A linoleum layer for 46 years for Stanley Bellanco’s Pittston Floor Shop, Boone is skilled with his hands. Comparable sticks would go for $60 - $70 in a park or camp store, he said. Even so, for decades Boone would not take money for his sticks. These days he accepts donations to cover the cost of the rubber bumper, boot laces, brushes and clear-coat. Boone makes walking sticks by request, mostly by word of mouth, though requests do come by different means. Last summer at the Tomato Festival he was chased down by Bob McCaughy of WBRE TV. “He asked me
where I got the stick,” Boone said. “Now he’s getting one.” Once in a while Boone will make a stick as a surprise gift as he did for radio talk show host Steve Corbett, whom Boone met on a group tour of Ireland in 2010. Boone made a large diameter stick, or Irish shillelagh, painted it green and left it on the porch of Corbett’s Scranton home. “Corbett was talking to Rusty Fender on the air,” Boone said. “And said he thought someone had left a pipe on his porch. Then he picked it up and realized it was a shillelagh. It was a mystery to him for a while until someone called him and told him I made it.” Corbett reciprocated with a signed photo of himself holding the shillelagh aloft during the Scranton St. Patrick’s Day parade.

Hundreds support teen with brain cancer Pasta dinner at Immaculate Conception raises funds for Eric Speicher By SAM CHIARELLI
Dispatch correspondent
If you asked the hundreds of people at Immaculate Conception Church in West Pittston what they were doing on Sunday, Sept. 23, they would not say, “attending a pasta dinner.” They would say, “We’re doing our part to help Eric.” And help him they did. Eric Speicher is a 13-year old who is battling a rare brain condition called Ependymoma. Eric’s first encounter with a brain tumor came in May of last year. He underwent surgery and extensive cancer treatments, under the shadow of the chronic condition. Another tumor appeared in Eric’s brain in July. After surgical removal of the tumor, Eric began another regimen of radiation therapy at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. With treatments five times a week, Eric’s family was forced to rent an apartment close to the treatment center. The cost of the radiation, and physical and occupational therapy for Eric was becoming a concern. Eric’s family, friends, and community decided to take action and hold a pasta dinner with a raffle of donated baskets. What they didn’t know was how many people would turn up at the event. The community came in astonishing numbers. Hundreds of people of all ages came to show their support for Eric and his family. The number of guests at the dinner exceeded anyone’s imagination. Those cooking and serving pasta and other food were overwhelmed. Everyone was rushing from kitchen to table at a frantic pace, attempting to meet the demands of the ever-growing crowd. And everyone was smiling because they knew how important the dinner was to the Speicher family. Nancy Answini, one of the event’s organizers, expressed her gratitude for the community’s support. “It was amazing. We had so much help. There were so

the event was passed down not once, but twice when the initial supplies ran out. Sixty baskets were donated to the cause and a Chinese auction was held to benefit Eric and his family.1000 tickets were sold the event, and the additional funds will be a blessing to the Speich-

ers. As Eric continues to fight his internal battles, he’ll be able to draw upon the smiling faces and the encouraging words of the people who came to support him. Judging by his smile at the event, that day meant the world to him.

Anti-bullying day set Nathan Cieslak, a fifth-grade student at Old Forge Elementary who started the Bullying Awareness Campaign throughout the district and community, has teamed up with Old Forge High School students to participate in “Unity Day” in the Old Forge School District on Wednesday, Oct. 10. As part of their senior project, Brian Finnerty, Derek Drasba, John Vols and David Rudalavage focused on this cause because they said “no matter what age or grade, everyone at one time or another has been bullied or has witnessed bullying.” Several events have been scheduled, including presentations, a school-wide pledge, classroom-based lessons and an assembly for student awareness.

LIUNA (Laborers International Union of North America) Local 1310 donated $2000 to the Camp Cadet program sponsored by Troop “P”, Pennsylvania State Police. Camp Cadet is a community funded program that allows young men and women ages 12-15 from Luzerne, Sullivan, Bradford and Wyoming counties an opportunity to see
the real workings of the Pennsylvania State Police Training Program. Camp Cadet was developed by and coordinated through Troop “P”, Wyoming. Donations via area businesses and private individuals offset the cost of sending a child to camp for the one week, law enforcement academy experience. Camp Cadet is not a corrections
type program, it is an opportunity for youth to see what resources go into police science and experience the different avenues of law enforcement. The presentation from LIUNA took place at Troop “P” headquarters in Wyoming. Pictured, left to right, James Kozemchak, Camp Cadet Board of Directors; Trooper Thomas Kelly, public

Warriors win history-making By JACK SMILES
jsmiles@psdispatch.com
The Warriors 69-28 win over the Holy Redeemer yesterday afternoon in Wilkes-Barre was one for the record books. Or make that two. Nick O’Brien broke Jim Pizano’s school individual
career rushing record and the team broke the program record for points in a game. The 1997 team scored 61 and 63 points in games against Bishop Hoban and Hanover. In the first half the Warriors had eight possessions. On one they lost a fumble. On seven they
scored touchdowns. They led 47-12 at the break. The first of the Tds was a 1yard plunge by quarterback Nick O’Brien at 8:48 of the first to cap a 60-yard drive on five plays, the biggest a 39-yard run by Cody Schmitz. Lenkaitis kicked the PAT and it was 7-0.
The second score, after a HR 3-and-out, was a 53-yard drive on six plays. The Td came on a short out pass from O’Brien to Schmitz, who turned it up for a 33-yard catch-and-run score at 5:11 of the first. The PAT was blocked. 13-0. That was the first of three Tds
for Schmitz which totaled 160 yards on two pass receptions of 33 and 40 and an 87-yard kick off return. On their third possession of the first quarter Jordan Zezza was at quarterback and he made See HISTORY, Page 50

“Our defense the last three weeks has done an outstanding job,” Dallas coach Bob Zaruta said. “Williamsport (last week) gained just over 100 yards. (Pittston Area) was probably around that or a little less, perhaps. We’re just playing tough defensive football.” Dallas punctuated its strong defensive effort on Pittston Area’s final play from scrimmage. Defensive lineman Ryan Monk sacked Emmett, forcing a fumble that fellow lineman Buddy Shutlock caught in the air. Emmett was sacked four times. Pittston Area had four turnovers after totaling five in its last three games. “It was a tough week,” Barrett said. “I thought we had them prepared, and they were more physical than us today. “We had a few key injuries.

Just when it couldn’t possibly get worse for Pittston Area in the first half, somehow it did. Dallas quarterback Ryan Zapoticky dropped a shotgun snap. Then he picked up the ball, stepped up in the pocket and threw a 43-yard dart to Ryan Kozloski. Touchdown Mountaineers. It was that kind of Saturday afternoon for Pittston Area … and that kind of Saturday afternoon for Dallas. Dallas dominated every aspect of the game, handing the Patriots a 35-0 loss in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division 3A contest. Dallas (3-3) won for the third consecutive time. Pittston Area (2-4) has its winning streak stopped at two. The Patriots were shut out for a third time this season. Zapoticky’s touchdown pass, one of four he threw, came with 47 seconds left in the second quarter. It came two plays after a Pittston Area fumble near midfield. “It’s much better going into halftime down 14-0 than 21-0,” Pittston Area coach Mike Barrett said. “It was a blown coverage. That kind of took the wind out of our sails.” The touchdown actually made the score 20-0 at halftime. But the one-point discrepancy mattered little. The Patriots couldn’t muster much offense in the first half and that carried over to the final two quarters. Pittston Area had just 64 yards of offense at halftime. The running game produced just 11 on 12 carries. And the Patriots never crossed midfield on their own. The only time they were on Dallas’ half was when the Mountaineers failed to convert a fake punt. Pittston Area had the ball only twice in the second half and its deepest penetration was the Dallas 27-yard line. The Patriots finished with 4 yards rushing on 19 carries. Quarterback James Emmett was 11 of 19 for 121 yards, but many of those completions came with the game well in hand.

Lady Patriots win rivalry under the lights By JACK SMILES
jsmiles@psdispatch.com
Pittston Area’s 2-1 win over Wyoming Area on Monday night under the lights at Jake Sobeski Stadium was a classic cross river rivalry game. “We know PA versus WA is always a great game,” PA coach Nicole Tieso said. “No matter what, both teams are going to come out strong and play their hearts out.” Wyoming Area put five defenders back to try to neutralize Allie Barber and the Lady Patriots offense. PA countered by moving Barber back to mid. To the extent that Barber didn’t score, the plan worked for WA, but Samantha Mayers scored both PA goals from Carly Filipski at 24:12 of the first half and unassisted at 49:15 of the second. Myiah Custer got the WA goal at 61:48 of the second to make it 2-1 “We know WA very well, so we knew we would have to make some adjustments to clear up the middle a little bit,” Tieso said. “It worked well and our team really stepped up. We have a number of

Wyoming Area’s game versus Lake Lehman was postponed to Thursday. The Warriors were scheduled to play at Valley West Saturday. Going into that game WA was 6-4.

WA’s keeper was great in goal. She made some really nice saves.” WA goalie Jordan Chiavacci had 10 saves. Jordan Cumbo stopped five for PA. PA led in shots 15-7. Corners were even at three each. The game had subplots. It was senior night and WA seniors Jordan Chiavacci, Lizz Jones, Emily Shemanski, Nina Meighan, Alyssa Belotti, Jennifer Bone, Valerie Bott and Marissa Charney were honored before the game. It was also “Coaches versus Cancer” night by agreement between Tieso and WA coach Mike Sokolas. “This game was more than just a regular season game,” Tieso said. “It was more than a rival game. It was two rival teams coming together to support Coaches versus Cancer. Also it was two teams showing unity during a difficult time at PA. The ceremony before the game to re-

Lipperini a winner in Grand AM debut By JACK SMILES jsmiles@psdispatch.com
When Pittston’s Joel Lipperini drove under the checkered flag in his No. 81 RaceLabz Honda Fit to win the Total Performance Showcase Race in the GRANDAM Series Championship at Lime Rock Park in Lakeville CN, Johan Schwartz in a Mini Cooper was close behind him. How close? “I don’t think you could have put a sheet of paper between us,” Lipperini said. “We were swapping for the lead, nose-to-tail, less than 200th of a second apart.” The race was the Grand AM debut for Lipperini, 42, who has been racing since he was 16 and is a four-time Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) series national champion. It was the first race for a Honda in the new series that debuted in this year. The Total Performance Showcase is for sub-compact cars using the popular “BSpec” rules. Under the rules the frontwheel drive cars are eligible to compete with three different sanctioning bodies, SCCA, World Challenge and Grand Am. Lipperini’s car is the only one to race in all three series this sea-

racing family. Their father, Dan, was the father of the rebirth of the Giant’s Despair Hill Climb. The country’s second oldest race, the Hill climb fell on hard times and was suspended in the 1970s. The elder Dan Lipperinin was the driving force behind its revival in the 1980s. In the Grand AM the cars are virtually identical. “You can’t
buy your way to a win, you’ve got to drive to a win,” Lipperini. That’s why the race was so close. The top five cars, which can hit 130 mph, finished within seven seconds of each other. Lipperini covered 41 laps in the 41-race on the 1.53-mile circuit. Schwartz started on the pole and Lipperini, third; but Lipperini got around him on lap six. The
pair battled the rest of the race, rarely separated by more than one second. GRAND-AM Road Racing, based in Daytona Beach, Fla., is the road racing arm of NASCAR. J.J. O’Malley, Manager of Communications for GRANDAM Road Racing provided much of the information for this story.

Thirty years ago Doc’s was the state’s best Local team was 105-22 By JACK SMILES
jsmiles@psdispatch.com
The early 1980s were the glory days of slo-pitch softball and the best local team of that era was the 1982 team sponsored by the late Doc Fasciana. Doc’s Sports Bar won a class A state championship that summer and the 30th anniversary of that championship prompted a look back. While the state championship was huge – it is believed to be one of only three won by NEPAbased teams and the only one in class A – what the team did overall was downright filthy. By the 4th of July, Doc’s – playing in three different leagues and tournaments two weekends a month – was 55-12 having outscored opponents 705-366. In a two-week stretch in the GP League they were 6-0 outscoring opponents 65-3. In mid-summer they had a 35-game winning streak. In the Greater Pittston League at Fourth Ward Park, Doc’s playing two or three nights a week went 30-2 in the regular season and won the playoffs, but not before Pete Kolmansperger’s Local Yokels gave them a scare winning the first game of a best-ofthree.
Doc’s also played in high caliber leagues on Wednesdays in Pittston and Thursdays in Wilkes-Barre. They won the regular season and reached the finals in both of those leagues, though they lost to Doc’s Oilers, who they beat during the season, on Wednesday, and to Diamond K from Scranton , who would place eighth in the state tourney, on Thursday. So who were these guys? The beauty of the team was that they were all Pittston Area and Wyoming Area guys. Unlike some of the teams they lost to, they didn’t hire any ringers. They didn’t send body builders up to the plate to hit the ball over the fence. Three of the players –brothers Don and Charlie McDermott and Rickie DeOrio – were former Wyoming Area quarterbacks. Dave Amico, Ange Falzone and Lou Degnan were Wyoming Area football players. John Timek had been a running back at Pittston Area. Steve Pelleschi, Jeff Malloy, John Yesnowski, George Hizny, Steve Amico, Mike Crawford and Lou Lussi were all former local high school athletes. Vince “Bananas” LaNunziata, from West Pittston, was the manager. While all the players could hit,
and while they did hit homeruns, especially at Fourth Ward, the fielding was masterful. The outfielders – Charlie McDermott, Pelleschi, Dave Amico and Malloy had tons of speed. The infielders – Don McDermott, Yesnowski, and DeOrio – were surehanded with good accurate arms. Steve Amico and Crawford were the pitchers. Lussi and Degnan were utility players who caught and played first. Hizny played first in the state tournament and was the leading hitter going 10for-17, .588. The state tourney was in Meadville in September. Doc’s went 5-0 and gave up only eight runs in the five games, no more than two in any one game. They made only two errors in more than 60 chances. Doc’s hit three home runs in the state tourney, two by Don McDermott and one by Timek. By winning the state tournament Doc’s got invited to a national tournament in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Through a series of fund raisers including hoagie sales, a slo-pitch tournament and raffles, the team raised more than $10,000 for the trip. “It was a whole different world,” Ange Falzone recalled. “It was like men against boys.” Doc’s was eliminated in two games. The tournament was more of a home run derby than a series of games. DeOrio said it was bor-

ing watching the ball fly over the fence before there were rules limiting homeruns. “I think the team we played in the first game hit something like 25 home runs.” The field was so strong, an allmilitary all-star team finished third. Stuck in Tulsa for five days after elimination, the guys hung out with a team from Hawaii
which also went out in two games. Overall, Doc’s played .820 ball going 102-22. Everybody batted over .400 and seven batted .500 or better. Don McDermott led in batting at .570. Dave Amico hit .540. The national tournament aside, nothing could diminish what Doc’s Sports Bar accomplished 30 years ago.

On Tuesday they lost to Berwick in straight sets 25-13, 25-21 and 26-24. Having had two games postponed the previous week the Patriots hadn’t played in over a week when the lost to Berwick Tuesday. The timing was bad for the lay off said coach Danielle McAndrew. “It was tough playing a team you can battle when you’re off a week.” Though the team is winless, McAndrew is not discouraged, considering the team is inexperienced and had no coach before she was hired just days before the season began. “They are playing hard and won a couple sets.” Against Berwick Tiffany Smith had 11 digs, 5 service points 3 aces and 3 kills.

a nice play stepping up to avoid a rush and hitting Schmitz wide open for the 40-yard score to make it 19-0. The try for two failed. On the first play of the second quarter Zezza pitched to O’Brien at tailback and he ran through several tackles and into the end zone and record book. His 32yard Td run broke the Pizano record of 4,086. O’Brien rushed for 81 yards on eight carries, six of the carries in the first quarter. He also went over 900 for the season on that run and 4,098 for his career. The O’Brien Td and a 2-point run by O’Brien made it 27-6. The Warriors got three more Tds in the first half on a 5-play, 53-yard drive ending on a 32yard pass from Zezza to tight end Trent Grove, who Zezza hit in stride at the 1yard-line. That made it 34-6 with the Lenkaitis PAT at 6:32. At 2:34 Zack LaNunziata took a short slant pass on the left side from Zezza and turned it up field for a 76-yard Td. Grove sprung him with a downfield block and it was 41-12. It went to 48-12 with 27 seconds left in the first half when LaNunziata scored on a 3-yard run following runs of 35 and 12 by Zezza. Zezza wound up with gaudy numbers going 6-for-6 for 170 yards and three Tds. Among all the Warrior scoring Redeemer scored two Tds on a 78-yard kick off return by Vince Villani and a 25-yard pass to Vil-

The Warriors went deep into the bench after that, but still scored two more Tds on a 9-yard pass reception to Evan Skenefrom Kyle Borton and 3-yard run by Isaiah Peoples. Ryan Murray had an interception in the second half LaNunziata had a good game at linebacker, as did Marty Michaels who batted down a potential Td pass. Joe Taylor had a sack on HR quarterback Jimmy Strickland, who was 11-21 for 121 yards in the first half. Friday the Warriors (4-2) play Meyers 2-4 at Jake Sobeski Stadium.

Two new arts courses to be offered at Greater Pittston YMCA for area youth From Oct. 1-7, the Greater Pittston YMCA celebrated YMCA’s Arts Week. Arts Week is an initiative of the Y that promotes the power of art to educate, inspire and connect the entire community, and is celebrated at Ys nationwide every October in conjunction with National Arts and Humanities Month. “Arts Week is about celebrating the influence of art and culture and how it can help young people find their voice, discover talents and strive to reach their potential,” said Craig Lukatch, CEO, Greater Pittston YMCA. “It’s an opportunity to showcase artists’ work and to bring everyone together to experience and understand the pleasure and impact of the arts. We also have a brand new arts center where kids can go and be creative in a safe and fun environment!” Arts education can be beneficial to children and teen’s development. According to recent re-
search by the National Endowment for the Arts, youth, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, who regularly participate in arts programs tend to perform well in school, have higher career goals, and become more involved in civic engagement, such as volunteering and voting. As part of a commitment to youth development, the Greater Pittston YMCA works to help youth discover new skills and talents through art, and provides a welcoming environment where youth can feel comfortable to express themselves. Starting in November, with support from Arts Seen Gallery in Pittston, the Y will be adding two art classes for youth, Art Sampler and Pottery. Art Sampler is for ages 3-6 on Saturdays in November at Pittston YMCA from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. This early art experience introduces young children to a variety of materials and basic art concepts such as color, line,
shape and texture. Storytelling will be integrated with drawing and painting. This is a nurturing environment that will stress experimentation, creativity and fun. This course serves as an exciting introduction to the world of arts and all its possibilities. Participants will engage in traditional arts activities like painting and crafting in a fun and safe setting. Youth will learn important life skills such as working with peers and following directions. Being instructed by Lukatch, the cost is $25 for current youth and Family Members and $40 nonmembers. Includes materials fee. Pottery is for ages 7-12 held on Saturdays in November at Arts Seen Gallery from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Young artists will love to get their imaginations going and their hands dirty in this ceramics class. Each week we will explore the techniques of coiling, pinching, slabs and glazing with a combination of air dry and
