assistant pastor at St. Mary’s in the late 1970s into the early 1980s, remembers the beloved nuns such the school’s principal Sister Laurentia Mayan, Sister Themla Gutz, Sister Maria Goretti, Sister Moira and the music teacher, Sister Lucy. “(Sister Lucy) was a wonderful piano player,” he said. Sister Jane Mary Duke, pastoral assis-

tant at the church, said the architecture of the building is stunning, including the statue of St. Joseph built into the outside of the second floor. She never stayed in the convent, but she knows many of the aging sisters who have. “They have very fond memories of this convent and of the children See, CONVENT, page 6

The St. Mary’s Convent, a fixture of in Avoca since 1923 and home to hundreds of sisters from the Immaculate Heart of Mary order, has a date with the wrecking ball on Monday. The Rev. Phillip Sladicka, pastor of the newly formed Our Lady of the Apos-

tles Parish, said the building hasn’t seen any major use in about eight years “It’s very sad to see it go,” Sladicka said as he walked through the building as it was being prepped for demolition on Thursday. All of the furniture, windows, fixtures and molding have been removed from the brick and wood building. Sladicka, who previously served as

League of Women Voters sets forum for April 18 at Pittston Area H.S. By JOE HEALEY jhealey@psdispatch.com It’s a chance to meet the candidates. Those hoping to fill the magisterial district judge seat left vacant when Fred Pierantoni was elected to the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas are invited to a forum hosted by the Wilkes-Barre Area League of Women Voters. The forum will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 18, at

Pittston Area High School, said Attorney Christine E. McLaughlin, a League member. The first portion will be held in the auditorium where candidates will be seated on stage and given an opportunity to introduce themselves. The second portion will be held in the cafeteria where the public will be able to talk to candidates one-on-one. The event is open to the public. Candidates who filed nomina-

tion petitions are Arthur Bobbouine of Pittston, Alexandra Kokura of Dupont, Jeffrey C. Kulick of Hughestown, Qiana Murphy Lehman of Pittston, Girard Mecadon of Jenkins Township, James O’Brien of Pittston, Len

Sanguedolce of Pittston and Mark Singer of Pittston. Two candidates, Murphy Lehman and Kulick will appear on the Democratic ballot only. The rest are cross filed on the Democratic and Republican ballots. The magisterial district will be larger as of June 1 as the State Supreme Court expanded it by adding the townships of Jenkins and Pittston and the borough of Yatesville to the current district of the

City of Pittston and the boroughs of Avoca, Dupont, Duryea and Hughestown. The two who receive the most party votes will square off in the Nov. 5 general election. Senior District Judge Andrew Barilla has been presiding over Pittston area cases during the vacancy. District judges are elected to sixyear terms and are paid $86,639 a year.

Magisterial judge candidates to square off

Police say Pittston man sexually assaulted a 16-year-old female A Pittston man was arrested last week on charges he sexually assaulted a 16-year-old girl. Charles Miller, 58, of George Street, was charged with two counts of indecent assault. Miller was arraigned before Senior Magisterial District Judge Andrew Barilla Jr. and released on $100,000 unsecured bail. According to Pittston Police Det.

Sgt. Neil P. Murphy: The victim, a 16-year-old girl, and her mother told police the girl was having problems at home and had been staying with a friend. On March 29, the friend’s father, identified as Charles Miller, approached the victim after she came out of the shower and told her he needed to talk to her. The victim was covered in a towel.

Miller went to the girl’s side of the bed, fondled her, undressed her and sexually assaulted her, police said. The girl said she was afraid to scream because “he looked kind of scary during it.” According to the

they taught.” The building, on the corner of Hawthorne and Spring streets, received a major renovation in 1996. A computer lab was added for the students at the nearby St. Mary’s School and the sisters ran a daycare out of the convent. A paved church parking lot is planned for the lot, with room for 30 to 50 cars. “We really need a parking lot. Parking really became an issue,” Sladicka said. “During Masses, cars are parked all over the neighborhood.” He said the narrow roadways

make for a dangerous situation if emergency vehicles need to pass while parishioners are at Mass. “If a firetruck came down on a Sunday, they wouldn’t be able to get through.” Also, churchgoers park in a nearby vacant lot, but that lot has the potential of being developed. The four-story building has more than 20 small bedrooms, a loft, several living and community rooms, a chapel, a sun porch, a kitchen and dining area. The nearby school, separated from the convent by a small playground, is still in use. It is used for parish functions, religious education, community events and scout meetings. Part of it is also rented out to Agora Cyber School.

A plaque remains near the door to the St. Mary’s Convent in Avoca. Demolition of the building begins on Monday.

St. Mary’s on Hawthorne Street and St. Peter and Paul Church on Main Street were combined in 2011 under the name of Queen of the Apostles Parish. The Congregation of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, also serve at Marywood University, Friends of the Poor and St. Joseph Center in Scranton. The order follows the spirit and purpose of St. Alphonsus. Stell Enterprises is completing the demolition which should be complete in about a week. Most of the items in the convent have been sold off or donated or saved. Some items, such as statues, have been saved and are kept in the school. “My heard is broken,” Sladicka said. “It was a good building that housed a lot of good Sisters.”

St. Mary’s Convent, home to hundreds of sisters from the Immaculate Heart of Mary order, will be demolished on Monday.

Pittston’s pocket park on South Main set to be completed in May By JOE HEALEY jhealey@psdispatch.com

It was like a big smile with a missing front tooth. That’s how former Pittston City mayor Michael Lombardo described the vacant lot on South Main Street before construction began on a new mini park. Downtown Pittston’s new pocket park is taking shape and should be finished by early May, leaving downtown workers and visitors with a new reason to smile. The park, nestled between Napoli Pizza and the Dental Building, will feature tables and bench seating for 20 people, a waterfall fixture with an art sculpture behind it, a small stage, 13 pear trees and a 25foot by 8-foot community herb and flower garden, said Main Street Manager Rose Randazzo. The property, now owned by the city’s redevelopment authority, consists of the 40-foot by 40-foot park and a small area behind it that will be used for private parking spaces to be rented to a neighboring business. The $60,000 project was paid for through federal funding from the Streetscaping Project, state casino funding and donations. The furniture was paid for by a $5,000 donation from Landmark Bank and the trees were paid for by a $1,000 donation from state Rep. Mike Carroll. The furniture was installed on April 2 and the fountain is set up and ready for artwork to be installed behind it. Planting of herbs and flowers will begin after the weather breaks. The trees have been planted and, after several years, will start to provide a canopy over the park, Randazzo said. The park has seating for 20 people, which includes two tables with four seats, two tables with three seats and one extra space on each

for wheelchairs, one bench that seats three and three stools. Hadley Construction was awarded the bid to build the park last year. After the 2010 demolition of the former Pittston Billiard, structural damage was noticed at the adjoining building at 30 S. Main St., commonly known as the Wayne’s World building. The store closed a short time later. The city bought the building and, at the time, believed the building could be restored. A more thorough assessment after the purchase revealed it would be far more costeffective to demolish the building. The question, Lombardo said, was how does the city repurpose a lot in the middle of the block? That’s when the pocket park idea surfaced. Lombardo envisions the park becoming a lunch spot for customers from local restaurants or even brown baggers. It could also be a place to just relax. “It reflects a thoughtful progression on Main Street,” Lombardo said. “It really adds to the downtown atmosphere.” Smaller music and art programs will be scheduled for the park, Randazzo said. The fragrant herb garden, Randazzo hopes, will be utilized by everyone, including local restaurants, and will add a pleasant smell to the park. She imagines herbs such as mint, basil and oregano. Maria Livrone of Art on Main, fomerly Arts Seen Gallery, is designing the stainless steel and glass sculpture called “Tree of Life.” Randazzo hopes the park will be ready for the first Second Friday event in Downtown Pittston on May 10. “It’s a great thing for the downtown,” Randazzo said. “It will provide a place for people to meet and relax.”

Pocket full of pride

Consolidation plan would move students to the Primary Center

By JOE HEALEY jhealey@psdispatch.com The Ben Franklin Kindergarten Center in Dupont has been educating Greater Pittston youngsters for the better part of 50 years. Its doors may soon close, if a consolidation proposal in Pittston Area gains traction. The district has already sent notification to the state it is considering closure. The Pittston Area School Board will hold a public hearing, as required by law, at 6:30 p.m on April 10 at the Primary Center on Rock Street in Hughestown to hear from parents and district residents. The school could close 90 days after the public hearing. Superintendent Michael Garzella Garzella said an engineer from Borton Lawson engineering and architectural firm will be at the meeting to present solid figured on how much is needed to keep the school open. “It’s in the millions, though,” Garzella said. “I don’t think the district can afford that at this time.” The district spent $34,000 in heating oil last year and $21,000 to power the lights. In addition to the cost savings, he said there are numerous benefits to moving the kindergarten students to the Primary Center, including safety, parking and less transition. He said the kindergarten students are currently dropped off at the curb near traffic, but the Primary Center is out of traffic and there’s plenty of

room for students to move around once they get off the buses. Also, there a substantially more parking for staff, parents and visitors at the Primary Center. And Garzella said if kindergarten is moved to the Primary Center, small children would have one less school to transfer to. He said repairs are needed, including a new furnace, roof, carpeting and electrical work. “We’ve been fortunate to get through all these winters on that furnace,” he said, noting that it was installed in 1962. “We need to ask ourselves if it’s wise to invest in an older building when there’s room in the other, newer buildings,” he said. “The Primary See, CENTER, page 17

The committee wanted to expand its “reach” to the general church congregation. Parish member Marie Murphy, a registered dietitian, offered her help. Murphy not only volunteered her professional services but was also willing to contact other health professionals to share their expert services. The committee presented its idea to the membership. The idea took. “It’s a balance of enriching your spirit at Mass and nourishing your body at the Health Fair all in the same place,” said the Rev Joseph Verespy, pastor of Sacred Heart. Over 20 health care professionals will offer expert advice to a healthy way of living. Some of the services offered will be blood pressure and glucose screening, hearing and vision tests and better ways to an improved lifestyle. Also on hand will be a speech therapist, registered dietitians, pharmacists, chiropractors, nurses and dentists. Taped exercise routines for all ages will run during the fair. Tasty and healthy food samples will be served throughout the day as the Outreach Committee has made a homemade assortment of healthy foods and beverages. Joe Kobi of Flexible Mobility has attended the Health Fair since its inception. His past displays at the Health Fair have given church members opportunities to try power chairs, scooters and other personal care equipment. Family physician Dr. Martin Moran, another regular at the Health Fair, will offer an array of medical services. He recently purchased the Sacred Heart Church convent and moved his family practice to its new home next to the church. The Pittston Area Leo’s Club,

Inheritance Taxes A tax is levied against assets owned by a person after their death. This tax is commonly known as an inheritance tax. All assets passing to parents, children, or grandchildren are taxed at the rate of 4.5%, or $4.50 on every $100 inherited. Assets passing to brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews are taxed at the rate of 12%. Assets passing to any others, except charities, are taxed at 15%.

The federal government levies an inheritance tax on any assets passing to those other than a spouse, if the decedent’s estate has a value of $5 million or more. The tax rate in this instance ranges from 38% to 55%. Call me today, if you have any questions regarding inheritance taxes.

Taxes are not paid on assets passing from one spouse to another.

The St. Louis-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eight Circuit has declined to recognize a right to smoke and held that the city of Clayton, MO had a rational basis to restrict smoking in parks – namely, to preserve and protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. *** A new law in North Carolina provides that students can face criminal punishment if they post ANY statement online about a school employee. *** A federal judge ruled that police violated the rights of more than 100 people who were arrested or searched while attending an art gallery event in 2008. Masked police with weapons drawn stormed the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit after reporting the smell of marijuana and the illegal consumption of alcohol. More than 40 cars were seized and held until patrons paid $900 plus towing and storage fees. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of nine patrons, among 130 people who they say were illegally searched and arrested, even when no alcohol was found and not all patrons knew of any illegal activity going on. The judge’s ruling paves the way for another trial to determine a financial reward for the patrons, if a settlement is not reached between the city and ACLU. *** Companies are banned from requiring customers to provide Social Security account numbers in most circumstances, thanks to a new New York State law.

center Continued from page 9

Center is our newest, most modern building.” The Kindergarten Center’s combined gym/cafeteria causes problems daily because lunch ends at 1:05 p.m and gym class starts several minutes later. Also, if the carpet is pulled up and the tiles underneath are ripped out, there could be an asbestos issue, Garzella said. A plan in the works would relocated the Kindergartners to the Primary Center in Hughestown, which would then become the home to kindergarten and first grade. The second graders would move to the Intermediate Center, which would then house second, third and fourth grades. The fifth graders would move to the adjoining Middle School, which would then handle fifth, sixth, seventh and

eighth grade. Ninth through twelfth grades would still be housed at the High School in Yatesville. The Middle School has the most extra space and could handle an extra grade, Garzella said. The building was built in 1960 and an additional was put on in 1991, the year it changed from an elementary school to the Kindergarten Center. The addition included a nurses office, cafeteria/gym, and an art/music room. A new roof was installed and AC units were put in each classroom. Garzella doesn’t see a lot of opposition because it is no longer a “neighborhood school.” “Children from all over the district go there,” he said. “I don’t think we’ll have the same problem Wyoming Area had in trying to close the Harding school.” Garzella said he has the support of the school board. “I think everyone’s on the same page.” About 250 students attend the Kindergarten Center.

Spring is here - well maybe not quite yetin Northeast PA. This is still a great time to get ready to grow those wonderful spring and summer harvested vegetables. Pennsylvania is top in the production of much produce enjoyed by other states. The leading vegetable grown in Pennsylvania is mushrooms, followed by pumpkins. Your backyard can become part of the agriculture system by growing common vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers and squash. According to “Penn State’s publication, Sowing Annual Seeds,” you can use containers such as flower ports, seed trays, flats or pans, peat pots, peat pellets and planting blocks for germinating seeds. Of these container options, you can only place peat pots, pellets and planting blocks directly in the ground when it is time for transplanting. Seed flats are more practical for sowing many seeds of one variety. It is simpler to have one container for each variety of seed so that all seeds in the container germinate at the same time. Wood and plastic are the most common materials used to make flats. Whatever container you choose, add enough seed starting mix to fill it ¾ of the way full. Then level the mix, thoroughly soak it with water and tap the container on a surface to firm the soil. Next, lightly press tiny furrows into the mix. The proper depth and distance between seeds depends on the seed size. To be sure, check cultural suggestions on the back of most seed packets. After sowing, use a water bottle with fine mist to moisten the seed starting mix without disturbing seeds. Seeds can then get moisture without washing out of the mix. Moisten the seed-starting mix in a larger container by standing the container in a pan of water until moisture rises to dampen the surface. Once the seeds germinate, it is best to set them in a pan of water and water from the bottom up. Successful germination requires warm temperatures. Generally, the optimum temperature for germination is between 65 degrees and 75 degrees. Germination requires partial shade, but most seedlings need bright light for strong growth. Most seedlings prefer natural light, so the best place to set the flat of seedlings is on a bench near the window so children can watch the seedlings grow. Remember to turn the plants clockwise as they bend towards the window light. Most annual seeds take one or two weeks to germinate. During this time, two seed leaves grow from each seed. These are not true leaves, but part of the sprouting seed that appears more swollen and rounded than mature leaves. A few days later, true leaves will develop above the seed leaves. At this time, you can thin the seedlings. If you handle the stems with care and keep the roots intact, you can transplant the seedlings. Once the seeds are planted, you may begin to think about ways to include these vegetables in your meals. Children get interested in new foods if they are involved in meal planning. To boost their interest in salads, plant a salad. Start by purchasing the seeds and potting mix along with planting trays. Plant a salad 1 pkg. tomato seeds 1 pkg. basil seeds 1 pkg. spinach seeds Ingredients needed: potting mix, four seedling trays and one dozen peat pods for each type of seedlings. Read the package directions and watch them grow. For more educational materials, visit our website at www. http://luzerne. extension.psu.edu.

Marine Corps Black Sheep Detachment needs an infusion of youth Black Sheep Detachment 412 of the Marine Corps League is looking for a few good retired men and women. In action the detachment is similar to an American Legion or VFW Post, though it doesn’t have a post home. The Black Sheep Detachment 412 meets every third Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Marine Corps Training Center, 1118 Wyoming Ave, Wyoming. Commandant Lisa Solarczyk of Pittston, who served in the Marines in the late 1980s, said many of the Black Sheep Detachment’s 47 members are in their 70s and she and the members are trying to recruit younger Marine veterans to join. Active, reserve, retired, honorably discharged Marines and FMF (Fleet Marine Force) corpsmen are eligible. Every fourth Saturday of the month, the detachment serves

coffee and donuts at the assisted living facility at the Wilkes-Barre VA Hospital. Among other activities are parades, a scholarship program for Marine Corps League members’ children and grandchildren; a foundation program to help Marines who fell on hard times; help for wounded Marines; a youth fitness program and fund raisers. Today, Sunday, April 7, the Black Sheep Detachment is selling tickets for a cash raffle from 8 am. to 5 p.m. at the Pittston Wal Mart. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5 for a chance to win $5,000. “We do a lot of good,” Solarczyk said, “but we could do a lot more if we had some young blood.” To join call Solarczyk at 6556424 or email her at softballcatch23@gmail.com.

OBITUARIES

Stephen E. Sokach March 31, 2013 They married in 1964 and would have celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary on May 2nd. The love and devotion they have for each other serves as a model for all couples who know them. Together, they started with nothing, but gave everything to their two children, Stephen John and Mary Elizabeth.

His daughter, Mary Elizabeth Sokach, married Donnie Tristan Minnick and gave him three handsome grandsons, Tristan Jude, Stephen Andrew and Blaise Alexander. Beloved “Papa” spent his days as counselor, playmate, taxi driver and biggest fan for all of his six grandchildren.

their well-being and success. His spirit will live on forever and ever in the hearts of his grandchildren. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Joan, and his brother, Jack. He is survived by his devoted wife, Judy. Together for 48 years, they conquered the world together.

But the rest of the week was devoted to their children and grandchildren. Sunday was always “family day” and always started at church. He was proudest when he was surrounded by his whole family. His heart remains with Judy forever. He is also survived by his son, Stephen John, wife Jeriann and their children, Carly, Stephanie and Alexis; daughter, Dr. Mary Elizabeth, husband Donnie and their children, Tristan, Stephen and Blaise; sister Mary Ann Smutko; and numerous nieces and nephews.

PEEKING INTO THE PAST with Judy Minsavage

April snowfall surprises area 57 years ago

The Pittston Red Devils were honored at PNC Field in 2010 with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees manager Dave Miley. From left, Bob Vitale, Ray Lucarella, Michael Sabetta, Michael Delconte, Nippy Nowakowski, Miley, Dr. Nick Ruggiero, Joe Potenza, Streaky Dardes, Bernie Babonis, Rene Lucarella, Anthony DeGeralamo, Felix Cardascia, Bill Hintze and Anthony Traglia.

By JACK SMILES | jsmiles@psdispatch.com

hey came of age in the late 1930s and early ’40s in Parsonage/Panama Street/Drummond Street area in Hughestown where, with some of them not yet in their teens, they formed a neighborhood baseball team, called it the Red Devils and played games against neighborhood teams from the Junction, South Pittston and Fourth Ward. • Today, the oldest of the surviving Red Devils are well into their 80s, the youngest in their 70s. Eight of them — Nicholas Dardes, Rinaldo Lucarella, Bernie Babonis, Bob Vitale, Mike Delconte, Mike Sabetta, Dr. Nicholas Ruggiero and Joe Potenza - still hold the club together. They have monthly meetings where they plan trips to ball games and military and historic sites and Christmas and summer parties. Up until four years ago, they played an annual Old Timers’ game. They pay dues these days, too, though more than the nickel a week they paid in in the early ’40s; nickels they earned picking vegetables at the Martinelli and Cremard farms, coal from culm piles and doing other chores as they could find them. Somehow, they made time to pick rocks and spread dirt to maintain a decent ballfield in Gilmartin Park. Dardes, 88, considered the founder and leader, and Lucarella, 84, a founding member, were two of those boys. They were nicknamed “Streaky” and “Rene” and some of their early teammates were “Coongie” Traglia, “Acres” Di Buono, “Smokey” LaFratte, “Shablo” Litzi and “Buster” Concert. As other players came along, they came with nicknames, too, like “Deger” Degerolomo, “Buzzy” Bosco, “Chi Chi” Galasso, “Rochester” Traglia, “Potatoes” Potenza, “Nippy” Nowakowski and “Ace” Brogna. The Parsonage Street area had been a hotbed of baseball even before the Red Devils. There had been coal breaker,

Sunday School and neighborhood teams in the area since the early 1900s. Hall of Famer Bucky Harris got his start for the St. Peter’s Lutheran Church Sunday School team just a block up from Parsonage. See DEVILS, Page 2B

Question: In 1976, what historical and controversial Supreme Court case had local connections? 1956 - 57 years ago Snowflakes as large as ping pong balls were reportedly falling in the Pittston area during a surprise April storm. Tom Puscavage was among many Pittston motorists who found themselves unprepared for the snowfall. The US Weather Bureau at the Avoca Airport issued a report, noting an unseasonably cold beginning to the month of April. According to the website www.weatherspark.com in 1956, the longest cold spell was from March 15 to April 4, constituting 21 consecutive days with colder than average temperatures. The month of May had the largest fraction of cooler than average days with 87% of days with lower than average low temperatures. Gordon “Gordie” Williams, of West Pittston was named most valuable player in the Fifth Annual Wyoming Valley’s Dream Tournament. The tournament featured all star players from the Valley, North, Wyoming Valley and Catholic Basketball leagues. Williams was third in scoring in the game, but “caught the eye of the judges” with his rebounding abilities. He received a watch for his MVP title. Williams was also a star athlete in football and a perennial favorite in track and field, garnering a trophy for a record-producing mile run. Members of the Jenkins Township American Legion Post 938 almost had their sponsored Easter Egg Hunt ruined for the second time. In 1955, the evening before the scheduled hunt, someone unsuccessfully tried to enter the building to steal prizes for the event. In 1956, the Legionnaires decided to store the prizes at another location just in case the would-be thieves tried again. Try again they did, this time successfully gaining access to the building, but finding none of the treasures that awaited the 400 plus children who attended the following day’s event. 1976 - 37 years ago In a new effort to fall within the guidelines of a favorable cost/benefit rating in order to sway the Army Corps of Engineers to consider flood protection for West Pittston, Council President Ray Crisci obtained the help of U.S. Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary David O. Melker. Melker sent a letter to the Army Corp recommending the federal government “undertake those measures necessary to meet state and federal flood protection standards and to permit the locality to carry out planned redevelopment in the area.” United States Senator Hugh Scott, in a letter to Crisci, felt the redevelopment efforts in West Pittston would enable the borough to be reconsidered for a favorable rating, making flood protection “cost beneficial.” In conjunction with National Library Week, the Duryea Library celebrated its first year anniversary. Mary Louise Branas, librarian, and assistants Helen Kramer and Kathy Bousa planned a film festival for the children featuring “The Astronaut” and “The Fur Coat Club.” Both films released in the early 70s can still be found online. Local teens were invited to attend a fund-raising dance at the West Pittston Armory sponsored by St. Rocco’s teeners baseball team. Lee Marcino and Gus Turonis planned the event and arranged for the Buoys to provide the music. The group consisted of local musicians Bill Kelly, Fran Brozena, Jerry Hludzik, Carl Siracuse and Chris Hanlon. Bob Gryziec was the original bass player when the band recorded its hit single, “Timothy.” The song reached the Billboard Top 40 chart on April 17, 1971, remained there for eight weeks, peaking at #17, according to The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits by Joel Whitburn. 1986 - 27 years ago The Pittston YMCA sponsored the Catalina Synchronized Swim See PEEKING, Page 2B

In 1914, a Parsonage area team called the Pittston Crabs played games against teams representing town sections like Maltby in Swoyersville and Parsons and Lee Park in Wilkes-Barre. That year, two brothers from Parsonage were arrested for shooting two men following a dispute over a $100 bet on a game between the Crabs and the Exeter Stars. Lucarella can remember watching his father pitch for another Parsonage area team in the mid-1930s. “I was 5 or 6 and I went to games with my father, Louis Lucarella, when he pitched for the Friendship Club,” Lucarella said. During World War II, while Dardes and many of the Devils served — including John Debbieri, who was killed in action — Corey Gagliardi kept the Devils together by coaching a team of younger boys. After the war in 1946, the Red Devils petitioned Luzerne County Court for incorporation as an official non-profit organization and on March 10, 1946 it was so ordered by Judge Frank Pinola. Legit, the club opened a clubhouse and pool room on Parsonage Street where members were adept as raising money with dues, raffles and dances as they were at playing ball. The Devils fielded teams in

Answer: In 1954, Joe and Julia Quinlan, a New Jersey couple, adopted a baby girl born in the Scranton area. By 1976, 22-year-old Karen Ann Quinlan was the focus of an historic decision before the Supreme Court and the subject of a right-to-die case. Karen Ann, after ingesting alcohol, diazepam and dextropropoxyphene at a party, fell into an irreversible coma, making it necessary to place her on life support . On March 31, 1976, the New Jersey Supreme Court rendered a unanimous decision, appointing Joe Quinlan as the personal guardian of tKaren with the right to determine her medical treatment, including the right to discontinue all extraordinary means of life support. After winning the case and the respirator was removed, Karen Ann lived until 1985 when she passed on of pneumonia at the age of 32. To read more about the history of the case and the good works of her parents on behalf of the Karen Ann Quinlan Memorial Foundation, log on to www.karenannquinlanhospice.org. What makes the month of April special: The Pony Express started on April 3, 1860. It went from St Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California and took 10 days. In April 1909, Robert Peary reached the North Pole. In 1865, Lee surrendered to Grant. The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912. Shakespeare was reportedly born on St George Day, April 23. He also died on April 23, 1616. St. George is the patron saint of England. The Mutiny on the Bounty took place in April 1789. Captain Bligh and 18 seamen were set adrift in a small boat. They eventually landed on the island of Timor, after a journey of over 3,600 miles.

The Red Devils lasted until the early 1960s when the club disbanded, the victim of changing times and the growing popularity of softball. By the end, over 100 men had played for the Red Devils.

RED DEVILS WITH HISTORY Four Red Devils, Rene Lucarella, Streaky Dardes, Nippy Nowakowski and Ace Brogna, played professional baseball. Lucarella played three seasons in the minor leagues from 1949 to ‘51 for Red Sox and Oriole afﬁlates. With the Hammond, Louisiana Berries in the Evangeline League in 1950 he batted .289 with 30 doubles and 11 home runs in 126 games. Dardes also played three season from 1949 to ‘51. He and Lucarella were teammates at Hazlehurst in the Georgia State League for part of ’49. In 1950, Dardes played 74 games for the Lumberton, North Carolina Auctioneers who won the championship of the Tobacco State League Nippy Nowakowski played three seasons in the minors with Yankee afﬁliates from 1958 to ‘60. He got as high as class C with Fargo-Morehead, North Dakota in Northern League. In 1950, at age 20, he was 15-7 with a 3.55 ERA with St. Petersburg in the Florida League. Al Brogna played with the Wytheville, Virginia Twins in the Appalachian League in 1961 when he was 20. One of his teammates was Tony Olivia, the 1964 American League Rookie of the Year.

the City League and won two consecutive championships in 1946 and ‘47. Within a few years, they were ﬁelding three different teams, one each in the City, Suburban and Anthracite leagues, winning multiple titles in all of them and earning the nickname “Club of Champions.”

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE SUNDAY DISPATCH

The Pittston Red Devils hold their monthly meeting at the home of Dr. Nick Ruggiero in West Pittston. From left, are Nick ‘Streaky’ Dardes, Rene Lucarella, Secretary-Treasurer Joe Potenza, Bernie Babonis, President Nick ‘Doc’ Ruggiero, Mike Sabetta and Mike Delconte. Absent at the time of the photo was Bob Vitale.

The Red Devils also entered basketball teams in the YMCA and Dupont Community House leagues, and for one season, ﬁelded a football team. The winning in the baseball leagues was in no small part thanks to Dardes, one of four Devils to play minor league baseball. A take-no-prisoners competitor and a lay-downthe-law manager, Dardes once made the team’s catcher

walk from Duryea back to Hughestown in full gear after the catcher blew a game with a bad throw. The Red Devils lasted until the early 1960s when the club disbanded, the victim of changing times and the growing popularity of softball. By the end, over 100 men had played for the Red Devils. There’s a Red Devil wall display at the Pittston Library

which includes the team’s charter and plaques listing the names of living and deceased Red Devils. There are over 50 names on each plaque. In 1994, the Red Devils called for a grand reunion at Convention Hall and over 40 members showed. Since then, they have met regularly. In 2010, 13 Red Devils, many life-long Yankee fans, were introduced on the field at PNC

Park before a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees game. Lucarella, with Dardes standing by, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. During the game, about 100 friends and family joined the Devils for a party in the right field pavilion. Dr. Nicholas Ruggerio, current Red Devil president and one of four Devils to become doctors, tells the story of how the Red Devils always had the best full uniforms and jackets, much to the consternation of the Reverend Turco, pastor of the Presbyterian Church on Parsonage Street who couldn’t abide the club’s name, especially after he got a look at their jerseys with a devil’s head on the front and jackets with a devil’s head on the back. “I remember,” Dr, Ruggerio said, “the Reverend saying ‘Now, if one of you is hurt and I kneel to pray over you, I’ll see a devil facing me on your back and then if they turn you over, there’ll be a devil on your front, too.’”
