Young people? They’re nice What happened to flirting? I often think. Here are a few other observations on young people: They have horrendous English skills. Every one of my students is a high school graduate, but if I tell them not to end a sentence with a preposition, the next thing I have to do is teach them what a preposition is. I wish I were kidding. The common mistakes – confusing their, there and they’re, or it’s and its – have always been around, but of late I find almost no student uses the word “than.” It’s always “then.” I am constantly explaining, “I know it sounds like then when we say it, but the word is than.” One student told me he never heard of the word “than”. I wish he were kidding. And forget punctuation. Most students are clueless about the usage of commas, quotation marks, colons and semi-colons. But they do like the exclamation point. It appears at the end of every sentence. Must be a

“texting” thing! Then there’s the spoken word. My dad grew up on a farm in the ‘30s and quit school in eighth grade but he spoke better English than most of my students. And while he was a salty army veteran who spent five years fighting in World War II, he swore about ten percent as much as they do. I never once heard my dad use the f-word. But at the college, I can overhear it ten times in a conversation between two students. And they could be two girls. That’s improving, however. Once in an 8 a.m. class more than ten years ago, I asked the students how many had heard the f-word so far that day. Every hand went up. Then I asked how many had said it. Almost every hand went up. A moment later a girl in the back said, “Oh my God, it was the first word out of my mouth this morning. The alarm went off and I said f …” I asked that same question a couple of weeks ago and just a

few students raised their hands. Even more shocking might be this: hardly any of my students smoke. In a class of 20 students, there might be three or four who light up. Don’t know if they are getting smarter or just broke. Another observation: young people are exhausted. When I was in college – more than 40 years ago – hardly anyone had a part-time job. Today, it’s not unusual for a full-time student to also be working 30 to 40 hours a week. I feel sorry for them. But not always. One day, when I greeted a student first thing in the morning with “how ya doin’?” and she said “tired,” I responded with, “I feel so sorry for you guys who are going to school full-time trying to better your lives and working almost full-time at a job.” To which she responded, “Yeah, and then you get a call at midnight that there’s this party going on.” Yes, young people are exhausted. But part of that is

because they never go to bed. In spite of the rigors of work and school, most of my students are up until 3 a.m. every night playing video games, or watching TV, or – here comes that word again – texting. One day a young man told me he was up late texting back and forth with his girlfriend for more than two hours. “Why didn’t you call her and talk on the phone?” I asked. He looked at me like that was the dumbest thing he’d ever heard. Now, before you go saying I’m knocking young people, let me add that I know why they are this way. It’s us –my generation, who are now their grandparents, and my generation’s kids, who are their parents. We made them this way. Or, at the least, we allowed it. These young people have every right to blame us. But they don’t. Why? Because they’re so darned nice.

Because they know I teach in college, people often ask me: what are young people like today? My answer is always the same: they’re nice. The students I encounter at Luzerne County Community College – and this particularly applies to the last several years – are generally nice, goodhearted people. And they are extremely nice to each other. In 23 years of teaching – and I suppose I should be knocking on wood as I say this – I have never heard a single student raise a voice in anger toward another student. That’s probably hard to believe, but it’s true. Don’t confuse nice with friendly, however. Not that the students I see are not friendly, they just don’t tend to bother with each other. You can walk into a classroom of more than 20 students and hear dead silence. No one will be engaged in conversation. They’ll all be texting or staring straight ahead with iPods plugged into their ears.

He boxed under the nickname of “The Pazmanian Devil.” Vinny boxes under the named “Little Paz” in honor of their friend. William Feliaciano, 28, of Wilkes-Barre, had a rough time as a kid, and really didn’t find himself until he started coming to boxing nights. “A friend brought me here,” he said. “I came here and I found a family.” Feliaciano, a single parent originally from Oswego, N.Y.,

works several jobs including remodeling, basement waterproofing, hair cutting and auto mechanics. His 4-year-old daughter, Natalia, spends time at the preschool inside the church. “The people here believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself,” he said. After some hard work, training and guidance by Pastor Washington and Coach Scarantino, he said he’s finally in a good place with his life. “I got a trophy, a medal and evSee BOXING, Page 4

‘Scrappy’ describes them. Both the church and the boxing program it hosts. And Pastor Samuel Washington of Perspective Church on Broad Street wouldn’t have it any other way. Same for head boxing coach Jim Scarantino. The program, Jim of Gyms, was even named after him. Scarantino, 44, of Pittston, and his son, Vinny, 16, have been with the program since its inception at the YMCA. Soon the program left the YMCA and found a new home at Perspective Church. And now it is set for another move. “We’ve grown out of the basement of the church,” Washington said. “It really took off and now we need more room.” Jim Scarantino said his love of boxing started at a gym where his dad trained him. But then he strayed away and got into some trouble. “I wanted to keep my boy from taking the same path I did,” he said. “So now I’m training him like my dad trained me and keeping him out of trouble.” Vinny, a junior at Pittston Area High School in Yatesville, started boxing at the age of 4. “First we started sparring and traveling,” Vinny Scarantino said. “Then we wound up here.” Now Vinny is boxing on amateur cards all over the state. He’s boxed in Allentown, Philadelphia, Bethlehem, Pottstown, even the New York State Fair. He hopes to go to Golden Gloves and then pro. “My boy can rumble,” Jim says. “He’s a good fighter. He looks small, but he’s powerful. Vinny boxes as “Lil Paz.” The Scarantinos became

City officials hope to raise $20,000 to bring a drug/patrol dog on to the police force

Pittston seeking K-9 patrol JOE HEALEY

jhealey@psdispatch.com

Pittston City hasn’t had a police dog in almost two decades. But that may soon change, if city officials can raise $20,000. Patrolman Joseph Galeski, an 8-year veteran of the Pittston Police Department, is spearheading a fundraising campaign and plans to be the dog’s handler and partner. The German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois would be trained in narcotic detection and patrol operations. The city manager, police chief, a firefighter, mayor and council members had a brainstorming session Thursday night to come up with a plan to raise the cash. Councilman Michael Lombardo said the city can’t afford a dog, so all the cash must be raised independently of the city’s budget. “We don’t have the ability to go out and just buy the dog,” Lombardo said. “We have some pretty community minded people in this room and we’re willing to put

eryone’s respect.” The small boxing group started at the Greater Pittston YMCA. After the YMCA cut the program, Scarantino turned to Washington and they moved into the basement of the Perspective Church. The area houses a child daycare program during the day. Washington said it’s a “very, very, very diverse environment” at Jim of Gyms. Washington has some kickboxing and martial arts in his background, but he never boxed in a ring. “So when I met them, they had a core of young kids that were part of the program, so we took them in.” Jevon Moore, also 28, sparred with Jose Castillo in the ring for a bit.

the effort in to raise the money.” The cost of the dog and training of Galeski is $14,000. The cost of accessories, adapting a police vehicle with a cage, dog accessories and dog food, brings the initial cost to $20,000. “We’ll be looking for donations,” Lombardo said. “Maybe a bigger store can donate dog food or an auto care facility will help with the air conditioning.” Already in the works is a letter being sent to all local businesses. “We’re looking to ask local businesses to help us,” said Pittston Police Chief Robert Powers. “It’s going to benefit them. The more drug related arrests we make is less crime we have.” Dr. Inayatullah H. Kathio of the Pittston Animal Hospital offered the department free veterinary services for the dog. “The veterinary costs, you won’t have to worry about,” Kathio said. Kathio said a dog would be a valuable asset to the department. “A dog has a tendency to sniff things that humans can’t detect,” he said. “And they can hear a

watch ticking 40 feet away. They have amazing senses.” Galeski wrote the letter asking the businesses for help. “Our department would also commit to assisting our neighboring communities on an asneeded basis, making this a regional asset,” Galeski wrote. Lombardo said the dog would be available to other local police departments. “We don’t’ just look at it as a Pittston City thing, we see it as a Greater Pittston asset,” Lombardo said. Galeski said the department would be using a local trainer, Paul Price of North East Police K-9 Academy in Wilkes-Barre Township, to coordinate the training. Training would last between 6 and 8 weeks. Classroom instruction is done daily through multimedia methods and each handler will accumulate a training manual. Academics play a substantial roll in the training course and each student is required to participate in the classroom and

pass applicable tests designed to reinforce the instruction. Fields and hands-on training make up the remainder of the instruction time. Officials already asked for help from the Luzerne County District Attorney’s office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation regarding drug forfeiture money. Several fundraising ideas generated were coin drops, mini market change banks, a spaghetti dinner, a 5K race, a night at the races, guest bartending at a local bar for tips, spaghetti dinner or a T-shirt sale. The group will move forward with a coin drop for several hours on Saturday morning, Oct. 27. Frank Cawley of the fire department said the department would offer support with one night at the beer stand at the fire-

Moore followed Washington from New Jersey, where the church was originally founded. Now he’s following Washington spiritually and Scarantino in the ring. “I’m trying to see where boxing takes me,” Moore said. “I’m going to do whatever (Scarantino) tells me to do.” Moore, Scarantino said, will go pro. “He’s going to go pro, eventually,” Scarantino said. “He’s definitely good enough.” Jim of Gyms hasn’t asked for donations in the past, but will start because the program is growing. Even so, they won’t turn anyone away that can’t afford it. “We didn’t know it was going to be this successful,” Washington said. The program will soon be moving to a new building on River Road in Plains Township. There they will incorporate Jim of Gyms and the church’s dance program, Dance Peace, under the umbrella “Perspective Athletic Center.”

“I thought Jim would lose kids by coming into the church basement,” Washington said. “But we actually gained kids when we brought it into the church.” The group has more than 40 members. The preschool by day is transformed into a gym three nights a week, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. “Most of the kids we don’t push to fight,” Washington said. He said children and young adults show up for a variety of reasons. From aerobics and exercise, to hanging out with their friends and getting off the streets. From weight loss to dreams of professional boxing, each kid has their own reason for coming. But all are welcome, Washington stressed. “A lot of it is teaching people how not to fight,” Washington said. “How to restrain themselves. How to discipline themselves. Save the aggression for the right places.”

The father-son team of Jim and Vinny Scarantino serve as boxing coaches at Perspective Church.

house during the Tomato Festival to help with yearly costs. “It should be an easy thing to raise money for,” Lombardo said. “People love animals. People want to support the police department. It’s something that people would get behind.” An account was set up at UFCW Credit Union. Any contributions should be made payable to “Pittston City K-9 Fund”, 35 Broad St., Pittston, 18640. Lombardo stressed that anyone who donates should know it’s going directly to the police dog fund, not into the general police budget or the city accounts. Chief Powers said a dog would be invaluable to the department. “It’s a great tool to have, there’s no doubt about it.” Pittston City has had two dogs in the past, a bomb-sniffing dog and a drug/patrol dog. Both of those dogs were retired. “A police dog is a hallmark of a progressive city,” Joe Moskovitz, city manager, said.

Some of these dogs have seen better days. At Tracey’s Hope Hospice and Animal Rescue in Duryea, they hope to bring peace to the final days of a dog’s life. Two constants at the shelter are Olivia, a black Labrador Retriever mix that suffers from dementia, and Chloe, a yellow Labrador Retriever pure breed that suffers from a severe skin condition and she may have cancer. Both are not adoptable and are in the facility’s long-term hospice program.

Both dogs waddled out on the porch to greet guests and pose for some photos. “These dogs are so precious, so loving,” said center executive director Denise Kumor. “These are the types of dogs we see here.” Tracey’s Hope is the only such hospice in the state. Kumor said they try to keep the pet comfortable and offer up some love. “Every dog has a story,” she said. A fundraiser for the organization is planned for Saturday in Dickson City. Currently, the agency has seven dogs up for adoption and 10

dogs in hospice care. Tracey’s Hope does a lot more than just hospice care. It is also a no-kill rescue, adoption and foster care service. They also offer pet loss support services, euthanization performed in the home of the pet owner, animal rescue for elderly and terminally ill pets, home-environment boarding, help reunite lost pets with their owners and participate in investigations and court hearings concerning dog abuse. They only have a veterinarian perform euthanasia if there is no See DOGS, Page 32

Russell said he spent $5,600 to hire an expert to measure the decibel level and that it was below legal requirements, which according to a borough ordinance is 86 decibels at 50 feet. West Wyoming police officer Jason Slatcoff also took a decibel reading which was below nuisance level. “He was here and said, ‘okay run your heaviest equipment’ and he measured it. He did that on several occasions,” Russell said. Umphred also paid for an independent decibel study which was entered into evidence and which concluded the noise was above nuisance level.

Homeowners have grandfather clause option but must act soon New flood maps for West Pittston will go into effect Nov 2. For some sections of West Pittston the changes will be significant in terms of premium rates for flood insurance. A number of homes that have been in Flood Zone B will now be in Flood Zone AE, a change which may greatly increase the cost of flood insurance if you don’t act before the changes take effect. If the flood map change moves you from moderate to low risk B/ C/X zones into the 100-year flood plain (Zone AE) you may be able to take advantage of

NFIP “grandfather rules” that would lock in the lower cost zone. But you must purchase flood insurance now. Your rate would then be “grandfathered” and you will continue to pay for flood insurance at the lower rate as if you were still in the less risky zone. Renters can get insurance on personal property up to $100,000. It is recommended that homeowners contact their insurance agents immediately. Everybody’s insurance situation and needs are different so only your

insurance agent will be able to provide coverage tailored to your individual situation. If you need an insurance agent, you can get a list of agents in the area at www.floodsmart.gov and going to the insurance coverage section. You can check your flood zone on www.wptomorrow.com or see the map at the West Pittston

Borough Building. You also can call West Pittston Flood Plain Manager Bill O’Donnell at 6557782 ext. 224. Property owners in Zone AE are urged to get a copy of the new WP flood plane ordinance either at the borough building or on wptomorrow.com. In order to secure a “grandfathered” rate for the low risk zone

you must “present payment” before the date of the new effective maps. So you must hand in your application with the check to your insurance agent by November 1, 2012. Also remember that the policy does not become effective (i.e. you will have coverage if you are flooded) for 30 days after payment.

OPEN Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 10 am - 6 pm Wednesday 10 am - 7pm Saturday 10 am - 4pm

FACTS OF LAW

By Dominick P. Pannunzio, Esq.

Prou dly Serving th e W yom ing Va lley For Over 40 Yea rs

Michigan’s second-highest court has ruled that the state’s stun-gun ban violated the Second Amendment. In so doing, the Michigan Court Of Appeals also said the Second Amendment protects the open carrying of at least some weapons *** A new law in Pennsylvania requires teachers and other school personnel to be trained to recognize and report child abuse. *** The California Supreme Court has held that a term of years sentence that is effectively a de facto life-without-parole sentence for a juvenile in a non-homicide case violates the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Graham v. Florida. In Graham, the Supreme Court ruled that juveniles convicted of non-homicide offenses could not be sentenced to life without parole under the Eighth Amendment. *** Connecticut has passed a series of laws concerning students in public schools being allowed to test their blood sugar levels whenever they need to do so, making training available for automatic external defibrillators, and allowing trained school personnel besides nurses to administer glucagon to students in emergencies.

OUR OPINION

K-9 project example of cooperation Everyone who knows about these things seems to agree: a police dog would be a worthwhile addition to the Pittston Police Department. Everyone who knows about these things seems to agree: funding a police dog through the city’s budget is a bad idea. The solution? Well, for starters, it’s cooperation. That’s what we witnessed Thursday night when the city powers got together to discuss the issue. It will take about $20,000 to acquire the dog and add the essentials. Councilman Michael Lombardo said the only way to come up with that kind of cash is via donations and he’s right. Patrolman Joseph Galeski, who is interested in being the dog’s handler and partner, stepped up and said he would spearhead a fundraising campaign. And with that, the city manager, police chief, a firefighter, the mayor and council members all started brainstorming about ways to raise the cash. Flat out donations are one way. Another is in-kind donations, i.e. goods and services. One of those came from Dr. Inayatullah H. Kathio, of the Pittston Animal Hospital, who offered free veterinary services. Other ideas include a coin drop, already scheduled for Saturday morning, Oct. 27, donation containers placed around town, a spaghetti dinner, a 5K race, a night at the races, guest bartending at a local bar for tips, a spaghetti dinner or a T-shirt sale. On that last one, may we suggest the cartoon on this page as a T-shirt design? An account has been set up at UFCW Credit Union. Any contributions should be made payable to “Pittston City K-9 Fund”, 35 Broad St., Pittston, 18640. We applaud the entire process. Good people getting together with good ideas. That’s community at its best. Let’s all get behind this effort.

It’s that time

GUEST OPINION

Musician and ‘party expert’ comments on teen suicide By Henry O’Hop

Musician, entertainer and party legend Andrew W.K. made an appearance at Luzerne County Community College on Sept. 17 in part to help promote a soon to be released partying app created by two LCCC graduates. The crowd was small but the positive energy drawn up by the self-proclaimed “Party King” was incredible, proving him worthy of the title. The students thrived off of the energy creating a feel-good atmosphere which the youth in the area are seeming to need now more than ever. The ability to draw up such positive feelings is a truly admirable quality. With that in mind as well as the number of recent teen suicides in the area. I sat with Andrew W.K. with the hopes of gathering an uplifting message for depressed teens. Who better for the topic than the king himself? Especially one who describes making people feel positive and motivated to have fun as “real magic.” When asked his thoughts on the suicides he expressed sympathy for the victims. “It’s very sad and very terrible when the world becomes so small for someone that feel the only way out is through such a terrible way.” He reminded that the world is a very big place and it’s only an illusion casted by pain when it seems small. As one who claims to have struggled with depression himself, Andrew suggests finding a positive way to channel those feelings. “Go for the big and go for the crazy. Remember times that were great and that it wasn’t a fluke to feel that good.” He stated that it’s ok to feel the way we feel, and not to let that pull us down too. He recalls times of being depressed then being mad for being depressed making himself feel even worse, which is an occurrence most could relate to. Bullying being the cause-in-focus of teen depression was a topic he shared points on and ways he finds best to deal with it. He shared that he himself was bullied and that he didn’t let it eat at him. In fact, he found ways for it to fuel him in his life as a form

of motivation. “It’s about harnessing every emotion that comes at you, whether it’s love or hate,” he said. In his experience, he decided to write music that would appeal to not just the people he got along with but his bullies as well, in an attempt to help everyone find common ground and encourage finding ways to get Henry O'Hop, right, chats with along and confide within musician, comedian Andrew W.K. each other. on the campus of Luzerne County Andrew said some- Community College. thing very inspirational as well; he said he doesn’t hate those he couldn’t reach even if they sought only to hurt him. “The ones who are the loudest and the most aggressive are often the most frightened.” He finds himself to feel sorry for them instead, shedding light on the fact that the victims of the taunting are often not the only ones going through torment. The infamous partier also left us with a party tip for someone down in the dumps. “Force yourself to smile when you are down. Laughter and smiling is like a magical potion, anything that could put a smile on your face is an incredible tool to make you feel good.” He urges someone going through a hard time to do this. He said he remembers his mother telling him to do it as a child and if he couldn’t find anything to make him smile he would just put on the biggest most ridiculous grin he could because it’s too hard to See GUEST, Page 15

YO U R O P I N I O N

The Captain and I

come from a pig, but from the same bird that provides Thanksgiving dinner. Utter deflation. Thinking I could further attempt to trick their simple little minds and taste buds, I slipped chocolate chips into the organic pancake batter. Surely they can’t taste flax seeds in the middle of all that mess, right? Oh. Yes. They. Can. My son asked: “What the heck WAS that?! WHAT? It tasted like HAY.” I explained how we need more soy in our diets and flax seed is good for your poop! “Next time, count me out. I’d rather eat dirt.” I glowered: “Don’t tempt me son. Do not tempt me.” The next morning, I announced to my library coworkers that this was the first day of the rest of my freaking healthy life. They could either be with me or against me. And if they were against me I would take their stinking Dove chocolates and shove them somewhere in the Audio Book section, where, like the audio books of George Bush and Billy Graham, they will never be seen or heard from again. Listen, my life mantras are simple: Live & Let Live. And, also: If I’m Suffering, So Are You. Thankfully, my boss-buddy Anne, was on my side. I apologized for making fun of her usual lunch consisting of some godforsaken conglomeration of risotto, pumpkin and kale. (I just spit-up). I begged her to guide me along the route of healthy. “Excellent!” Anne the Yogi exclaimed. “I just got a new juicer! We can juice!” “What do you mean – like a glass of Sunny Delight with a shot of Captain Morgan?” “NO! I’ll blend-up celery and apples, blueberries and tofu, bananas and seaweed and artichokes and mulch and you can drink it up! You’ll feel like a new woman!” I won’t. I will feel like a hedge hog. No, THANKS. I’ll stick to my usual protocol for losing a few pounds and buttoning my skinny jeans: deprivation. It’s the only way I know. Yeah, yeah, I hear you screaming: “It’s not a diet! It’s a lifestyle! You shouldn’t feel hungry! Fill your plate with broccoli and a spoonful of kidney beans and the weight will melt right off!” You’re all liars and I am not buying it this time. I just had my farewell-to-crap send-off meal: chicken wing pizza plus a round of actual chicken wings, Blue Ribbon peanut butter ice cream and a not-fun size Hershey bar with almonds. But, the night is young and who knows what the witching hour of The Real Housewives of New Jersey will bring. Probably Cracker Jacks and funnel cake. Oh, and Sunny Delight with the Captain. Help me. Maria Heck does not hesitate to use her "mighty pen" to write a column which appears in this space every week.

On Sammy Agolino Wyoming Area, Greater Pittston and Luzerne County lost a good friend with the passing of local politico Sammy Agolino. He was fighting cancer over the past five years, overcame the odds many times and always pulled through but our good Lord decided it was time. While Sammy was a politician, he was also one of my dear friends and most of the time when we got together we talked politics. To Sammy it was a sport. “The first one to five,” was Sammy’s position with Wyoming Area politics. And, I have to give him credit. He was a master at putting deals together at Wyoming Area when everyone thought it could never happen. I’ve known Sammy for nearly my entire life growing up in West Pittston. He loved the Garden Village. Aggie, as he was affectionately known to many, was the king of one-liners. “West Pittston, where the rich get richer and the poor do OK too,” Sammy said some 30 years ago and that stuck with me since. When Sammy caught up with someone he hadn’t seen since childhood, he’d link them to playing baseball at the West Pittston Little League. “Labarre’s (the Little League team my brother and I played for),” Sammy said to my brother Mike when he caught up with him a few years back at Agolino’s Restaurant. Many times, we’d get together and reminisce about the good old times. We were both members of the West Pittston Hose Company. We’d spend time to wee hours of the morning at the Hose Company playing pool and shooting the bull. We’d wait for the “wheel (siren)” to go off looking to jump

feel bad and down when doing it. He said, “nobody made up these feelings and it’s up to us to keep them alive” (referring to happiness.) Just reflecting on the interview, I am overwhelmed by just

on the fire truck and get that rush volunteer firemen put their lives on the line for. Then there was the infamous “Bench.” “The Bench” was simply a bench in front of his brother Joe’s restaurant where Sammy and the locals would gather, solve the world’s problems and just kibitz the hours away. Good times. Sammy was also about loyalty. He understood it was a two-way street. One of the things we’d joke about over the years would be hiring my wife as Wyoming Area’s school nurse. “If I put Joey Valenti’s wife on,” he’d say, “I’d show you loyalty.” One of Sammy’s highlights in life was when he shared a piece of pie with President Barack Obama when Obama was on the campaign trail four years ago. One of my fondest memories of Sammy would be during Christmas with our “Fireside Chats.” As my camera was rolling, we’d eat olives, pepper shooters and provolone; drink homemade Dago Red wine and talk about politics over the past year. It was quite a hit and it’ll be a void in my heart that can never be filled. Over this past summer, we also lost Gary DelSerra, another area politico who was a friend as well. Many times Gary was part of our conversations. Gary was also a master at putting deals together and there were times he was on the opposite side of Sammy. I can see it now. As Sammy approached those Pearly Gates, Gary was on the other side whispering in St Peter’s ear. While I can’t imagine the “deal” that went down, I can hear Gary now, “Nice to see ya kid.” Sammy, you left us way too soon and you’ll be missed by all. Joe Valenti intense positiveness and it’s no lie that if one ever needed a figure to look to in their life in times of confusion, sadness or doubt there would be no better candidate than the Great Andrew W.K. A Pittston Area graduate, Henry O’Hop is a communications student at Luzerne County community College.

How many columns do you think I’ve written about diet and exercise? Probably about 102. How many times do you think I’ve begun a journey on the eat-right train before consistently sputtering to a halt? Probably about 102. And, although I’ve found an exercise regimen that, miraculously, I don’t hate, Pilates alone does not cure my dough-section. I know this because, Darlene, that Tinkerbelle of Torture Pilates instructor proclaimed: “If you want to be a size 2, then Pilates is not for you. Pilates lengthens your muscles and promotes leanness. For dropping sizes, you need cardio.” … the hell? Why didn’t anyone share this nugget with me eight months ago??? So, I guess cardio is the magic key that unlocks the hatch to my whole wheat-belly conundrum. Keeping that in mind, yesterday I spent 4 1/2 hours at Target and Walmart sprinting up and down aisles trying to find the fake Under-Armour compression shorts for $14.99 (don’t ask) and the real rack of ribs for a mere $11.98. If that ain’t cardio, then I don’t know what is. Sadly, neither marathon shopping nor Pilates does anything for my crepe-like knees, either. I was dressing for an event several weeks ago and donned a shorter dress. I thought I would wear boots and thereby cover up my middle-aged legs. I asked my son how I looked. Epic mistake. He regarded me with a grimace. “WHAT?!” I shouted. “Do you have, like, leggings or something you can wear?” “I’m wearing boots for God’s sake! I’m as covered up as I can be!” “Hmmm…wellll, not really. I can still see those knees…” I stormed out of his room and considered a jumpsuit with galoshes and a babushka. Damn kids. Damn truthful kids. I’m getting to a certain age where I realize if I don’t start eating like a woman of a certain age, and not a 12 year-old boy, I may shorten my life, as well as expand my derriere. No one wants to see that. I know I need to ingest more vegetables and fruits and all that crap … but for some reason I m not drawn to those food products. If Pixie Sticks and Hot Tamales were fruits, I would so be on it. Alas, Dr. Oz tells me I need to eat food in its “natural state”. Please. I can eat a raisin and maybe beef jerky in its natural state, but that’s about it. I thought last Sunday would be a good day to start the healthy gig (primarily because it wasn’t a full moon and I wasn’t feeling particularly hormonal) and I decided to make flax seed and soy pancakes for breakfast. With turkey bacon! Doesn’t that sound delish? Yeah, well my kids and husband didn’t think so either. Everyone smelled a.m. cooking – which is as rare as the Hope diamond – and raced to the kitchen. One bite in and they knew… this bacon didn’t

I’ll Return Your Phone Calls A surprising number of people being represented by an attorney have reported their disappointment over the fact that their lawyer doesn’t keep them informed of the progress he or she is making on their case. I know how important a client’s case is to them, so I make it a point to return all phone calls promptly. The stress of undergoing a personal injury claim is bad enough; you shouldn’t have

Pittston Area product served community college for 38 years Dispatch correspondent

Francis Curry radiates enthusiasm. Meet him, even once, and you’ll notice there isn’t much more energy you could pack into a human. He’ll thank you and shake your hand vigorously. Before you release the grip, he’ll thank you again. Try to ask him a question about his upcoming retirement from Luzerne County Community College, and he’ll stop you mid-sentence and say: “It’s been a blessing and a joy.” Ask anybody who has ever met him and you’ll hear the same words from them: It’s been a blessing and a joy. “He always see’s people at

their best,” said Thomas P. Leary, president of the college. “He is Francis 24/7.” On October 5, Curry, the director of admissions at LCCC, officially retired. His 38-year career has been highlighted with success. Curry is responsible for the (LCCC) Adult Learners Association, Diversity Council, and the only NAACP student chapter in NEPA. During his career he has contributed much to the community and the college. He served as a council member in Forty-Fort, a board member for the Luzerne County Homeless Coalition, and a member of the Red Cross Blood Drive. He is the recipient of the Red Cross Service Award (2010), LCCC Outstanding Administrator Award(1998), and

is the students.” During this year’s Bloomsburg Fair, Curry, a graduate of Pittston Area high school, sat at his usual (LCCC) recruitment booth. A gentleman approached him, shaking his hand and thanking

him. “I didn’t recognize the man,” said Curry. It turns out that 14 years ago he was unemployed and struggling. He met Curry at that same recruitment booth. He enrolled at the college and went on to graduate, mow leading a successful life. “There are hundreds of stories like this,” both Curry and Leary said. “You can come here to the community college and do whatever you can do,” Leary said. It offers opportunity at an intimate level and with people like Curry, inspiration is not lacking in the least bit, Leary continued. “Wherever Francis goes he stirs it up. Just watch him walk ... when he enters a room you know he’s there,” said Leary. When Leary was director of admissions, he and Curry would visit many high schools in search of future LCCC alumni.

$25 apiece. John Dunnigan, of Exeter, came to the police department to report he couldn’t find his car. He didn’t remember where he had parked it. Residents of Duryea were on the edge of their seats after a swift-moving tropical storm dumped heavy amounts of rain across the Northeast. Residents awaiting rising river waters had already been hard hit by flooding in the wake of Hurricane Diane in August 1955. Much of the concern focused on the Marcy Street section, which had been washed away in the previous flood. It was feared the Susquehanna would go high enough to back up into the Lackawanna River and add to the danger of flooding at Duryea. Through the long night into the early morning hours, the only borough experiencing flooding was Exeter at Sullivan Park and Happy Valley as the swollen river continued to lap at the bottom of Sullivan Street Bridge. A previous hurricane that year, Connie, did not produce significant flooding, however it set the stage for Hurricane Diane to create some of the “Most destructive floods the

river valleys of eastern Pennsylvania, northwest New Jersey, southeast New York and southern New England had ever seen,” according to hurricanescience.com. The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked, “If President Eisenhower decides not to run again, who should the Republicans pick as their presidential nominee in 1956?” Jennie Scott, of West Pittston, answered, “Richard Nixon; he’s the VP now and he’s gathered enough experience.” Joseph O’Boyle, of Duryea, stated, “Earl Warren of California; you have to get a candidate who’s got some sort of national stature.” James Ruane, of Pittston, added, “John Foster Dulles; he has the forcefulness necessary for dealing with Europe and the Far East. He’s not one to fool around, but still not offensive.” Dwight D. Eisenhower ran against Adlai Stevenson and won the presidency in 1956. It was the last election where either one of the major candidates was born in the 19th century.

1965 – 47 Years Ago In 1965, a bust of Christopher Columbus anchored to a marble base stood on the grounds of the Roosevelt School in “South Pittston.” Members of the Italian American Society Nello Riccetti, Charles Guinta Sr., Charles Guinta Jr., Bert Ardoline, Frank Castellino, Atty. Charles Bufalino Jr., Joseph Pupa, Joseph Burgio, Atty. William Degilio, Dr. Vincent Gallizzi, Sam Zanta, Angelo Butera, Michelangelo Sperrazza, Ross Minelli, Silvio Pirelli, Biagio Falzone, Louis Capone Sam Argento, Anthony Ferrara and Pittston Mayor Robert Loftus gathered there on the day set aside to honor the explorer. According to the National Italian American Association website, the Columbus statue at the school was established circa 1948 and in 1969, was replaced by a “12foot tall statue wearing navigator’s attire, standing near a ship’s anchor,” which is presently located on South Main Street.

It also teaches the seniors about container gardening.” The first growing season had a few hiccups, but Watkins said those hiccups were more of a learning experience than anything else. “We had a few problems we have to work on for next year,” she said. Some tomato plants got rot from too much water and high humidity. Some zucchini and squash got borers, or insects that bore into the vegetable. Some cucumbers got fungus. “But overall, it was a great crop,” Watkins said.

Chef hopes there is a market for his peculiar cuisine Braised pork belly with bourbon onion marmalade. Pork fat Belgium waffle with popcorn dusted chicken thigh. Pumpkin gazpacho. Peanut butter and pancetta cream cheese sliders with peanut butter vodka “mayo.” Sound peculiar? Good. That’s exactly what chef Eugene Philbin wants. In fact, Philbin calls his news business venture Peculiar Culinary Co. He specializes in food that is unique, distinctive and extraordinary and likes to call his fare “gastro-grub.” Philbin, a native of West Avoca and current resident of Pittston, has been bringing his peculiar menu to local culinary risktakers at events he calls “pop ups.” There is one today at Jefferson Park, on New Street in Pittston, and another tomorrow, Oct. 15, at the same location. Today’s is sold out but reservations can still be made for Monday’s event by calling 570-2120960. It starts at 7:30 in the Fred Demech building at the park. The braised pork belly, bourbon onion marmalade, smoked cheddar, pickled cucumber sliders on chive corn bread will be the opening course. Diners will experience the port fat waffle and pumpkin gazpacho along the way before finishing up with coco crispy crust-

ed banana bread French toast and homemade chocolate pop rocks … among other items. Not only is the menu different at every event, but the food is also organic. That’s important to Philbin, who said about store-bought meat, “I won’t serve it or put it in my house.” Admitting he will occasional consume “food on the go,” Philbin still said, “I’d rather eat my own finger.” For the record, his own finger is never on the menu at his pop ups. Philbin said his first pop up in August was a success and great start to Peculiar CC. “It was the best night of my life,” he recalls saying to his wife, Miranda Philbin. Philbin, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, emphasized he could not do all of this by himself. “I have the best staff,” he said. Philbin worked for AuRant’s restaurant, North Main Street, Pittston, for two years before taking the risk of starting a pop up business. Philbin said he is planning an anti-Thanksgiving dinner in December which will feature seafood and anything not usually seen on your holiday dinner table. Philbin said he prefers to serve local food but joked, clearly there is no local seafood to be found in Pennsylvania “unless I go to Wallenpaupack and catch it myself.” Philbin also adds local enter-

During the Christmas holiday in 2010, new mother Stephanie Godri-Johnston, 32, told her mother she was feeling “funny.” She was having some digestive symptoms, but couldn’t articulate exactly what she was feeling. At the time she was living in New Jersey with her husband, U.S. Army Maj. Andrew Johnston. She told her mother she was going to an emergency room saying, “If they tell me I have cancer at least I’ll know what it is.” Her mother was puzzled, saying to herself, “Why is Stephanie saying that? That just can’t be.” Tragically, Stephanie’s instincts were correct. Though – as a young, active female with no family history – she had none of the risk factors, Stephanie was diagnosed with Stage IVB Colorectal Cancer with a peritoneal metastasis in January 2011. She died less than a year and a half later in May of 2012. On Saturday, Oct. 27, an inaugural 5k Run called “Steph’s Fall 5k” will be run at the Luzerne County fields in Forty Fort to memorialize Stephanie and raise money for the Stephanie GodriJohnston Memorial Scholarship. The course is appropriate for the Steph Fall 5k. It’s the Wyoming Area high school cross country team’s course and Stephanie was a Lady Warrior cross country team member. She graduated from Wyoming Area in 1998, where she was a star. She was a member of National Honor Society and a medalist in Science Olympiad. She ran hurdles and threw shot put and discus for the track and field team. She set school records in the varsity discus, which still stands, and the junior high shot put. The $2,000 scholarship will

go to a graduating WA senior member of either the cross country or track and field teams. It was her husband’s and family’s idea to use the money for a scholarship. “They wanted to do something in Stephanie’s memory,” her mother said. “But they didn’t know what they would do with the money from the race. It wasn’t a case where her kids needed money, so we came up with a scholarship for a WA student that possesses the same goals and traits as Stephanie. We also wanted an event to memorialize Stephanie each year for her family and friends, especially her two young children.” Money raised over the $2,000 goal will go to raising cancer colon awareness. Mary Godri remembers her late daughter as a wonderful, kind, giving person, who could be unintentionally funny. Some

of her fondest memories of Stephanie are of her cracking up the family at the dinner table with her malapropisms. In addition to the 5k run, the event also includes a 3 k (1.86 mi) walk, and a kids’quartermile fun-run.

Awards will be given to the top overall male and female runners; the top three male and female in age groups, plus and the top overall male and female walkers. Kids 10 and under in the Kids Fun Run will receive a mini pumpkin. At Wyoming Area, Stephanie was more than an athlete. She voted “Most Likely to Succeed” by her senior classmates and they were right. In her short life she succeeded as a career woman, mother, and military wife. She graduated from King’s College with a Bachelor of Science and later got a Master of Arts in Education. With her husband, Maj. Johnston, she lived in Hawaii, Kentucky, New York and New Jersey. In her obituary, her husband wrote, “She enjoyed cats, loved running, Gerber daisies, traveling to new places, visiting friends, and most of all being just being, in her words, ‘a Mom.’ A

model of charity and faith, between cancer treatments, she gathered clothing and donations for Susquehanna flood victims. She did the same for her husband’s soldiers, gathering soaps, razors, linens and towels. She made sure that no soldier returned from Afghanistan to an empty barracks room. During treatments, she routinely baked cakes and sweets for her doctors and nurses, trying to care for them the way they cared for her.” Stephanie’s parents are Edward C. and Mary Foy Godri of Harding, where Stephanie grew up. Her children are Luke, 6; daughter, Sarah, 1 1/2. She has brothers Matthew and Stephen, who with Maj. Johnston organized the Steph Fall 5k, and a sister Maria. The race logo depicts the silhouette of a women running by a tree as orange and gold leaves flutter to the ground. Fall was Stephanie’s favorite season.

Mike Barrett looked like a man who went through12 rounds of a heavyweight championship fight. The Pittston Area coach was exhausted and drained. Luckily, his quarterback wasn’t. Kyle Gattuso ignited a Patriot offense that scored 26 points in the third quarter and held off a ferocious Coughlin comeback in the fourth quarter en route to a 38-36 victory in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division 3A game that lasted more than three hours. “I thought I was going to have a heart attack,” Barrett said. Not with Gattuso on his side. The athlete did a little bit of everything, rushing for 135 yards, passing for almost 100 and even catching a pass. He hauled in a pass from 17 yards out that ignited a 26-point third quarter that was capped off by a 77-yard interception return by Jordan Houseman to give the Patriots (3-4) a commanding, 38-15 lead with eight to play. “We never gave up,” Gattuso said. “It felt great. We had confidence that we could win this game. We are back in the playoff race now. We just had to keep thinking positive. That’s all it takes. The offensive line was great in the second half. They did a great job of firing off the ball.” It wasn’t easy, though, and almost slipped through the cracks. Coughlin’s Zac Evans, who ran for almost 200 yards, scored three times in the fourth quarter – the last a 5-yard run to cut it within 38-36 with 3:14 left. But the Pittston Area defense stopped the game-tying two-point conversion by a mere yard as Coughlin fell to 4-3. “They are a great team, and great teams always find a way to come back,” Barrett said. “And they almost did. They are physical, and we couldn’t stop the run in the fourth quarter. They really started to take the game over. I feel that if we play the way we are capable of playing, we can compete with anyone.”

Coughlin had one final chance, driving the ball all the way to the Pittston 30, but one sack erased any hopes of a field goal and a last-second Hail Mary effort was picked off by Joe Starinsky at the 5. “We can’t excuse the amount of penalties and the amount of turnovers that we had,” Coughlin coach Ciro Cinti said. “The game with Pittston is always a good game. There is no doubt about it. Throw the records out because they don’t matter when you play this game. “You can’t turn the ball over that many times. You can’t give up 26 points in a single quarter. The penalties and the mental mistakes are the things that I’m most disappointed in. I’m proud that the kids fought back, and I knew they would. But you can’t keep making those mistakes and beat good teams.” Coughlin jumped out to a quick 7-0 lead on a 20-yard run

Pink out wipe out for Warriors in 50-20 win

Nick O’Brien ties Kopka, Beck for school record with six touchdowns

By TOMMY ROMANELLI

Dispatch correspondent

The Wyoming Area Warriors continued their dominance with another blowout victory to seal their fourth straight win beating Meyers, 50-20 in West Pittston on Friday night on Pink Out Night for cancer awareness. Senior Nick O’Brien flashed his cancer awareness pink socks all over the field and tied a school record with six touchdowns even after having a kick off return for a Td called back by penalty to start the game. When the opening kick return was wiped away by a penalty, it seemed like it would just be one of those games where the Warriors have a hard time getting started. But O’Brien didn’t think so. After the opening kickoff O’Brien had the six touchdowns, 240 rushing yards, 66 passing yards, and an interception. So it was one of those games instead. O’Brien got in the end zone on a 9-yard QB run for WA’s first score and again on their second possession with a 53-yard run making some beautiful moves in the process putting WA up 14-0. After another O’Brien Td on a 37-yard run early in the second quarter, Meyer’s running back Nate Mahalak looked to give Meyers some life. He took the ball around the right edge, snuck through and burst through defenders for the 70-yard touchdown run making it a 22-7 game. But that was hardly a bump in the road for WA. O’Brien scored two more Tds in the second. On a 19-yard run he ran through defenders, made a few cuts, and got in the endzone by reaching out and knocking over the pylon. Another 1-yard O’Brien plunge with 1:14 left in the half score would give the Warriors a 36 – 7 halftime lead. “We’ve been looking for consistency up front and this is the healthiest we’ve been since week two,” said WA Head Coach Randy Spencer. A few plays into the third quarter, O’Brien showed he’s not all offense. He intercepted a pass

and ran it back 48 yards for the TD. Then late in the third quarter Cody Schmitz would add yet another score on a 9-yard TD run giving the Warriors a commanding 50-7 lead. Cody Schmitz and Zack LaNunziata quietly had a good night, Schmitz had 61 rushing yards as well as catching two balls for 54 yards and LaNunziata had 42 rushing yards on just 5 carries. Trent Grove and Dylan Pegg would also add a catch each in the game. “It was also important for us to come out and execute,” said Spencer. Meyers got two late touchdowns to make the final 50-20 score. WA’s Isaiah Peoples had a 42yard Td run called back by penalty late in the game. LaNunziata, Skursky, Zielinski, Jordan Zezza, Taylor and Marty Michaels excelled on defense for WA. Lenkaitis was 6-for-6 on PATs and Schmitz had a 2-point run. Ben Kopka scored six touchdowns in week one in 1996 against Pocono Mountain on runs of 1, 2, 25, 25, 59 and 89 yards. George Beck scored six in a first round District 2 playoff 5528 playoff win over Scranton Prep on runs of 1, 1, 4, 4, 23 and 25 yards. Wyoming Area had the ball on a goal-to-go situation in the third quarter when Spencer took O’Brien out of the game. One more play and he may have scored a school record 7th Td, but Spencer wasn’t counting Tds. He wanted to give his star a break. “We’re trying to stay healthy,” Spencer said. “He’s ringing something up every week. He’s a special kid. He’s got the burst, toughness and agility.” Wyoming Area takes on GAR Friday on Alumni Night at the Jake. GAR and WA are both 5-2 and are tied for the number one seed in the District 2 AA standings with 610 points each. Lakeland is three and Lake Lehman is fourth.

Lady Patriots heat up with 4-0 week By JACK SMILES

jsmiles@psdispatch.com

The Lady Patriots won four games this week to improve to 10-3 and jumped over two teams from fourth to second place in Division 2 heading into the final week of the season. They are one-half game ahead of Tunkhannock 9-2-1. The Patriots can solidify second when they play at Tunkhannock Tuesday. Mathematically PA could catch Northwest and tie for first place, but it’s not likely. If the Patriots win three this week they would go 12-3. Northwest is 12-1 and would have to lose twice this week to finish12-3 and they have a game against winless Montrose. Only the division winner goes to the playoffs, which doesn’t sit well. “It’s frustrating,” said PA coach Caitlin Hadzimichalis. “We’re starting to play some good hockey, starting to mesh, getting hot. The girls deserve to play in a playoff situation.” Friday in Hughestown against Montrose the PA won 6-0. Alana Platukus had two goals and an assist, Liz McKitish had two

goals and Katrina McKitish had two assists. Emily Herron and Dana Maurizi also scored. On Monday at home PA beat Meyers 4-2 behind a Dana Maurizi hat trick. Nicole Chaiko chipped in a goal for Pittston Area. Emily Herron, Liz Mikitish and Katrina Mikitish had assists. Lea Garibaldi had five saves. On Wednesday at Berwick PA shut out the Lady Dawgs 2-0. Paige Danko and Mazuiri scored. Katrina Mikitish had an assist. On Saturday PA won their fourth consecutive beating Elk Lake 4-0 in a make up game. Chaiko scored twice and Herron and Liz Mikitish, once each. Alexa Danko had an assist, Garibaldi got the shutout. Wyoming Area had only one game last week and they were shutout 3-0 by Coughlin in a Breast Cancer Awareness game. The girls wore pink and raised money for the cause.

Patriots defeat GAR on Consagra hat trick By JACK SMILES

jsmiles@psdispatch.com

Though the Wyoming Area boys soccer team was shut out by Meyers 4-0 on Friday in their final game of the season to finish 5-9-1, first-year coach Nicholas Hufford is upbeat about this season and next. “We fell a little short but it happens,” Hufford said. “I learned a lot. We knew we’d have growing pains with only two starters back from the year before and a new coach. The freshman and sophomores got their feet wet fast. They really improved. I had fun. I enjoyed the season. All the guys played their hearts out and that’s all you can really ask for.” Next season the team will be experienced. “They’ll have to earn it, but we’ll have nine returning starters. I’ll be interested to see what the eighth graders look like next season as freshmen.” The team’s banquet is November 4 at Fox Hill. Meanwhile the Patriots had a busy week with three games. They lost to Wyoming Seminary 8-0 at home on Monday and to Valley West 5-2 also at home on Wednesday. Ian Tracy and Colin Tracy were involved in both goals against Valley west each assisting the other. On Friday the Patriots got their fourth win of the season beating GAR in Wilkes-Barre 4-2.

Three going into Warrior Ring; ’92 team honored By JACK SMILES

jsmiles@psdispatch.com

Wyoming Area Alumni weekend is Friday, October 19. John Garibaldi, Andy Castanaro and Jeff Gercak will be inducted into the Wyoming Area Alumni Ring of Pride at halftime of the Wyoming Area – GAR game. The 1992 District 2 championship team will also be honored. Post game there will be a cocktail party catered by Marianacci’s Restaurant at Saint Anthony’s banquet hall in Exeter. Some people may be cynical about football players as students. Former Wyoming Area coach Paul Marranca wasn’t one of them. He used to say academics and football went hand-inhand. The three men who will be inducted into the Wyoming Area Football Ring of Pride Friday night are proof positive of that. Garibaldi, class of 1984, was a two-way lineman for the Warriors. He was on every all-conference going and a UNICO and Big 33 all-star. The Warrior teams were a combined 24-8-1 in his three varsity seasons.

He got a full ride to the University of Delaware where he played football. He later coached at Riverside and Pittston Area. Today he is a successful businessman as the owner of Five Star Painting and the President of the Pittston Italian-American club. He lives in Duryea and has two daughters Maria and Lea. Andy Castanaro, class of 2002, won four letters for the Warriors football team. He maybe best remembered for scoring a Td to upset Berwick. He was a freshman on the 1998 District 2 championships team. He was the quarterback in his junior and senior seasons. Castanaro was also a District 2 champion with the basketball team and in track and field in javelin. Like Garibaldi, Castanaro was on every local all-star team. He was the captain of the UNICO team and won UNICO’s Brian Piccolo Award. As a student he was in the NHS as a top 10 student.

Going into week 11 the 1992 team, which had been state ranked earlier in the season, were seen as underachievers. They were only 5-5 when they played PA in the annual rivalry game. But they won that game 42-8 and then beat Dunmore and Hanover to win the District 2 Championship and finish 8-5. This was when the Eastern Conference Tournament led to the state playoffs. In the defense of the five losses, two of them were to eventual state championship teams. Berwick, with Ron Powlus, won the 3A title and Valley View won the 2A title. They also lost to Valley West and Mt. Carmel and were upset by Coughlin. The Warriors played five 4A teams. The ’92 quarterback Tom Campenni talked about his standout memories of the season “Beating Dunmore 20-14 in a tough, physical semi-final game and trouncing Hanover 31-0 for

the District 2 AA Championship at the Lackawanna County Stadium, which was broadcast live on TV. Beating PA 42-8 to complete a 4-game sweep of PA for our senior class and being ranked 2nd in the state by the Harrisburg Patriot-News.” The season was also notable as it marked the return of Paul Marranca as head coach after a five year absence. 1992 8-5 (Not in playing order)

Sometimes life is more than funny. Sometimes your paths cross with people and the more time you spend with them the more you realize just how connected you are. I had such an experience recently. I was invited to join a Facebook page that deals with mushrooms and local mushroom pickers. I quickly contacted the creator of the page and the trip down memory lane started automatically. His last named rang a bell. Dan Peck of Wyoming is the driving force and organizer of “NEPA Mushroom Hunters” on Facebook. Dan and I spoke several times on the phone before agreeing to meet for a mushroom picking adventure. We met in a parking lot off of route 92 in Harding. He was waiting for us with his daughter Rylee. He then asked us to follow him to an undisclosed location. This is not unusual at all when dealing with true fungi gatherers. They treat their mushroom locations as if it were a combination to a safe filled with gold bars. It was a short ride to a driveway and a huge manicured lawn with an occasional clump of pine trees and oak trees. It wasn’t until I looked at a few older structures on the property that I connected the name, Peck, with the location. It turns out that I had been on this property more than thirtyfive years ago picking mushrooms with my father. Let’s call it a small world but also joining us on this day trip was Bill Peck and his son. Bill Peck graduated with my brother and we talked all about Wyoming Area High School as we cut a half of a basket of podpicki from the ground. The property itself has changed quite a bit with a few homes, garages and swimming pools but it was obviously still fertile enough for mushroom growth. It was in deed the Peck family property and my father knew Dan’s father and oth-

er older members of the family. I must apologize to Dan if he feels like I gave away his mushroom spot but I thought it was a story worth sharing. The hobby of mushroom picking is indeed one of tradition and habit. Every time we do a story about mushrooming on Pennsylvania Outdoor Life people respond with questions and a desire to learn the hobby. Dan wants to make it clear that his Facebook page is not used instead of a field guide. In fact Dan carries a field guide with him and he is an experienced picker. Here is his mission straight from the Facebook Page. This FB page is made for all who love to hunt mushrooms, and also learn more about hunting, or for our first timers! This can be used as relaxing. Walks in the woods can yield a bag or so of mushrooms. Finding them by surprise is very exciting. This FB page is in no way shape or form informing anyone to just pick and eat any mushrooms. This page is sharing information from experienced mushroom hunter’s experiences in the woods. They will post pictures, give tips, talk about their finds, and try to guide a beginner to get out have fun and learn all the

types of mushrooms in the woods! A mushroom hunter will always carry a field guide. I spent the better part of a morning with the Peck family and I must say they do it right. They walk slowly, talk a lot and pick mushrooms. It was a pleasant adventure to say the least. If you would like to become part of the local mushroom society, get on Facebook and go to “NEPA Mushroom Hunters” and click on that you like it. It is interesting to read about other people’s success in the field. We will have a complete story about my adventure with the Peck family tonight at 6:30 on Pennsylvania Outdoor Life.

Josh’s plans for after high school are to go to business school. “Interesting” is the one word Josh has chosen to describe his high school experience thus far. Michael McGlynn, the son of Mike and Rainey McGlynn, lives in Duryea and was born on January 23, 1995. Michael plans on going to college after high school. He is currently a firefighter in Duryea. Michael describes his high school experience as “awesome”. Tiffany Smith, the daughter of Tara and Dan, was born on November 18, 1994 and resides in Avoca. She enjoys spending whatever free time she has with her best friends, Sarah Snyder and Irene Magdon, either eating, watching Cars, or listening to her favorite song "Tattoos on This Town." Although she finds waking up for school to be a challenge, she is a member of the ICE and Stand Tall clubs along with being a member of the Swim team and captain of the Volleyball team. Throughout school, her favorite teachers have been Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Distasio. If given the chance, she would love to teach a psychology class. Tiffany plans on swimming throughout college and dreams of having a full-time job and swimming in the 2016 Sum-

mer Olympics. Anthony Capozuzza, the son of Lori and Allan Capozucca, was born on August 11, 1995 and resides in Pittston Township. He can be seen with best friends Sarah Driscoll, Bryan Russo, Catherine Lombardo, Kristen Lombardo, Miranda Warunek, Kristen Ferek, Josh Rugletic, and Matt Carroll. His favorite food is pasta and favorite movie is The Hunger Games. He describes high school as "memorable" and will remember all the senior football games, pep rallies, proms, and clubs. Anthony says that the most challenging parts of high school were all of the Honors and AP classes. He has stayed busy as a member of the National Honor Society, Telecommunications Club, Key Club, ICE Club, Relay for Life, and Pep Squad. His favorite teachers have been Ms. Conlon, Ms. Schiliaci, Mrs. Plis, Mrs. Saunders, Mr. Joyce, and Ms. McGarry. If he had the chance he’d like to teach an Algebra II class and plans to go to college to become a Nurse Anesthetist. Kansas White, the daughter of Freeman and Vikki White, was born on August 9, 1995 and resides in Duryea. Her list of favorites include teachers Mr. Richards and Mrs. Ostrowski as well as Taylor Lautner, The Notebook, and "The Dirt Road Anthem" by Jason Aldean. If she had the chance she’d teach an Algebra class and make more friends. The most challenging part of high school for Kansas was the flood of 2011, but she says winning Marching Band Championships in the same year was the most memorable. After graduation, Kansas plans to attend LCCC for two years and then transfer to a beauty school. Kindergarten Center
