Devastation impossible to fathom Not to suggest strong similarities between the two, but one thing the war in Afghanistan and the recent flooding of parts of Wyoming Valley have in common is this: unless you or your loved ones are directly involved, you routinely go about your daily lives paying little or no attention.

That’s not an indictment. It’s just the way it is. And it’s something I learned first hand, both with the war and with the flood.

Until I found out my friend Albert Kridlo’s son Dale was serving in Afghanistan, and especially when Dale was killed in action last Nov. 7, the war to me was nothing more than something occasionally appearing in the news and not always grabbing my attention when it did. I’m not proud of that.

I’m also not proud that, aside from pulling an all-nighter to produce the Sept. 11 issue of the Dispatch, the Flood of 2011 had little effect on me and subsequent recovery efforts were not foremost in my mind either.

Ed Ackerman, optimist

But that all changed with my first venture into the West Side.

And since I’m confessing, I might as well add that my first trip across the Susquehanna after the Fort Jenkins Bridge was re-opened to traffic was hardly an errand of mercy. It was to have a hot fudge sundae at the Blue Ribbon Dairy Bar. It was hard to eat ice cream, however, after driving through West Pittston, particularly since we took a detour along Susquehanna Avenue. It was nighttime and we were not prepared for the eerie feeling of seeing all the majestic homes of that neighborhood completely in darkness. We also weren’t prepared for driving through veritable canyons created by mounds of discarded precious belongings and priceless memories lining the wide streets.

Two days later, wearing our oldest jeans and donning work gloves, my wife and I pulled up in front of the home of our friends John and Inge Markarian at the corner of Susquehan-

na Avenue and Spring Street.

We’ve been back nearly every day since and each time is a learning experience.

My first lesson was about mud. Unless you’ve dealt with it you have no idea. I spent the entire day last Sunday cleaning items with a power washer and when I finished it looked as though I had done absolutely nothing. The magnitude of the clean-up task is mind-boggling.

You are left wondering where the residents get the spirit, not to mention the energy, to face it every day.

A second lesson is about loss.

Home after home after home, not just in West Pittston but also in Jenkins Twp., Exeter Twp., Duryea and parts of Pittston, are without heat, hot water, electricity, and even security due to warped doors and damaged locks. Some are no longer inhabitable. Carted to the curb have been furnaces, hot water heaters, stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers, furniture, books, dishes, pots and pans,

you name it. Then there are the irreplaceable items: the photo albums, the cookbooks with hand written recipes from great grandmothers tucked inside, the beloved Christmas ornaments stored in basements, the family heirlooms handed down through generations.

The charity and goodwill provide another lesson. The hot meals delivered right to cleanup crews as they work are a godsend. The neighbors halting work on their own properties to assist one another are angels.

The buckets of cleaning supplies provided by the Salvation Army and others literally bring tears to the eyes. Who knew a roll of paper towels could be such a welcomed gift?

But the greatest lesson to be learned is in the pain, the heartache, the fear, the suffering.

These are hurting people.

FEMA has set up an operation in the Advanced Technology Center at Luzerne County Community College.

It’s the building where I main-

tain an office and do most of my teaching, so I’ve had a ringside seat for the parade of victims seeking help. I see them every day wandering in with glossy eyes, often tugging along a child with each hand.

They all look lost.

One day last week I spotted a couple of friends waiting their turn in the hall, but when I went over to say hello, a woman seated next to them, probably noticing my tie and thinking I was with the government, grabbed my hand and burst into tears. Through her sobbing, I ascertained her home had been completely destroyed and she and her family had absolutely no place to live. My heart went out not only to her but also to the FEMA people at the desks inside whose only answer to her plight on this day would be forms to fill out. It’s a far cry from the comfort she seeks. I’m sure the FEMA folks are well aware of it and wish they could do more.

I know the feeling.

One building razed but most businesses vow to make come-back

doing this my whole life, 30 years. I know our customers can’t wait until we come back.”

The LaNunziatas owned three buildings in the short block between Wyoming and Linden.

The three-story at the end of the block was demolished when an inspection revealed the brick wall on the Linden Street side was bowed and in danger of imminent collapse.

The other, an apartment building between the razed building and the dry cleaner, was severely damaged. Five employees are out of work and 17 tenants, business and residential, were displaced.

The LaNunziatas also have dry cleaner businesses in Kingston and Mountaintop.

wo weeks ago West Pittston had two dry cleaners.

Today it has none. Two weeks ago West Pittston had two family-owned hardware stores open. Today only one is open and it is battered and bruised.

Two weeks ago West Pittston had a busy convenient store.

Now it does not. Two weeks ago West Pittston had a legendary breakfast, lunch and dinner restaurant where Garden Villagers gathered to eat and kibitz. Today it is an empty shell.

Twenty-six businesses were affected by flooding in West Pittston. Several of them were at and around the Luzerne AvenueWyoming Avenue corner.

The Penn Mart Convenient store on that Luzerne AvenueWyoming Avenue corner was flooded with to 5 1/2 feet. “Everything was just gone right down to the studs,” said general manger Lorraine Lavelle. “The insulation came out, everything.

We had to start from the beginning.”

Lavelle addressed a rumor about PennMart. “We had no gas leaks. That’s something we should really clear up. Gas did not leak from any of our tanks.

That was a rumor going around.

Our levels stayed good.”

Lavelle said the store will reopen, but couldn’t estimate when.

“We’re waiting for our shelves and coolers to come in. We have limited power. We’re waiting for our final inspection before they can turn us back on.”

PennMart has eight employees who along with volunteers helped with the clean up. “They are going to be okay,” Lavelle said of the employees.

Catty-corner from PennMart, Mike LaNunziata Jr. looked into the empty shell where his and his father’s business Crest Dry Cleaners used to be and wondered aloud if they can comeback.

“Our machines were all wiped out,” he said. “We’d like to come back. We’re trying to. We’re looking at the numbers and taking it one day at a time. I’ve been

‘Best of Greater Pittston’ postponed until next year By now the staff of the Sunday Dispatch had hoped to be counting ballots and tabulating results for the second annual “Best of Greater Pittston” readers’ choice awards. But, after much consideration, the staff concluded the contest inappropriate this year given the devastation and heartache created by the Flood of 2011.

“Many of the local businesses who would have been contenders for awards are currently out of business and trying to find their way back,” said Dispatch Editor Ed Ackerman. “And with thousands of Greater Pittston residents trying to put their homes and their lives back together, we decided to hold off on the awards until next year when, hopefully,

everyone will feel more like celebrating.”

“Best of Greater Pittston” awards were presented in more than 80 categories in 2010, the inaugural year, with readers voting for their favorites from coffee shops to chiropractors, from pizza to pedicures.

“We were very pleased with the first one,” Ackerman added, “and are committed to continuing the contest annually. We got a real sense that Dispatch readers and award recipients truly enjoyed it.”

Ackerman said the Dispatch had anticipated a robust response this year with some businesses already “campaigning” for votes but postponing the contest was the fair thing to do.

As a our community bravely battles the effects of the devastating flood and our nation continues to heal from the anniversary of 9/11, a Greater Pittston lad summons his own brand of courage and strength in a room at Hershey Medical Center.

Eight year-old Justin Burns, son of Maria Houston Burns, of Avoca, and Jeff Burns, of Harding, has spent the past three weeks in a setting to which he has become unfortunately accustomed. At age two Justin had open-heart surgery.

Four years later, a second open- heart surgery was required to address further complications.

Shortly after the second cardiac surgery, he was diagnosed with leukemia and underwent aggressive chemotherapy for several months, which appeared to put the cancer in remission.

However, after several months, the leukemia resurfaced. Justin recently underwent chemotherapy once again, as well as radiation therapy to kill the cancer cells.

These procedures paved the way for him to receive a bone marrow transplant. The transplant was performed three weeks

ago, and he is slowly recuperating.

Justin Burns’ indomitable spirit assures his family and friends that he possesses the strength to counter his illness.

Throughout his battle, the youngster smiles, laughs and jokes as if wholly unaffected by his disease and its consequences.

Yet his battle can’t be fought alone.

Thus, to alleviate the mounting financial burden from his recent treatment, Justin’s family and friends have organized a benefit on his behalf.

On Saturday, October 1, from 2 p.m. to 10 the Lithuanian Citizens Club at 7 Butler St. in Pittston has generously donated its hall to host Jammin’ for Justin II. Along with food, refreshments, prize raffles and a Chinese auction, live music will be provided

by The Maruce Project, Mark “The Wolf ” Petrole, and karaoke DJ Jimi the Hitman.

Admission at the door is $10 which will be used to defray costs associated with Justin’s illness.

Any person or business who wishes to donate food, raffle prizes, gift baskets, etc. can contact Kate Guilford at 606-8966 or drop off items on the morning of the benefit.

GT Fabrication proud to manufacture products in USA

By Jack Smiles

Associate Editor

Overnight GT Fabrication went from under the radar to under the river.

The high-powered metal fabrication company owned by the Tighe family was little known before the flood, now the company is getting publicity it would rather not have.

Plant manager Geno Tighe said the company did a lot of important work and was busy before the Flood of 2011 devastated the 35,000 square foot building with 13 to 15 feet of water on Bennett Street adjacent to Towpath Court off North Main in the Junction.

Among other jobs, GT makes, or made, sound barriers for Departments of Transportation in Maryland and Ohio. Recently they did work for the San Francisco Airport. And they have contracts with local companies like Cornell Industries in Mountaintop and Pride Manufacturing.

Tighe said his family, his par-

“We’re a dying breed in this country,” Geno said. “A manu-

facturing company that’s successful, that’s keeping work in the US. We started to take off.

We were super busy. We had 30 employees. Guys were working overtime and Saturdays. Now there’s no work at all. Now we’re in jeopardy.”

Geno said the company lost over $2 million worth of equipment. “We just got a new $80,000 machine. We’re power cleaning it, but we don’t know if that’s going to work. We have a high definition plasma cutter, a $200,000 machine, it was ruined. Our powder coating line, a finishing machine, was worth $500 to $700 million. After the 2006 flood when the water was only from one-and-one-half to four feet in the plant, in what turned out to be a futile gesture a laser cutter was raised five feet.

Geno expected an insurance adjuster to inspect the damage today.

“We don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said. “We’ve been talking to Congressman Barletta and Yudichak. They said they’d do what they can. Mike Carroll called. Jason Klush, Joe Moskovitz from the city have been working with us. We’re fixing what we can, but we’re kind of stuck right now. We have to see what kind of money we can get, but ultimately we are going to have to relocate. We can’t stay down here. This is our fourth

flood. We’re trying to find a new location. We’re going to need help with that. It’s not like we have 500 grand for a building sitting in the bank. We need a buyout or some kind of grant.

That’s what we’re trying right now, but we don’t really know.”

Geno’s father Gene, 58, started the business in 1989. It’s been at the present location since 1994. “This one hit my father hard,” Geno said. “It’s tough when you lose everything you worked for.”

Partash brothers may be opening in Pittston near Tomato Festival grounds

By Jack Smiles

Associate Editor

One day Mike and Andy Partash, entrepreneurs and brothers, had five bar/restaurant businesses. The next day they had three.

They lost Brews Brothers and the River Street Ale House both on River Street in Jenkins Township. Brews Brothers was inundated with five feet of water. The Ale House was more like five feet under. Brews Brothers opened 15 years ago. The Ale House is about 10 years old.

About 14 employees worked in the establishments The Ale House – popular with beer aficionados and manned by beer-savvy bartenders who served a rotating variety of craft and imported beers – will not reopen.

Mike explained why. “One of side foundation walls washed out and pulled the main beam in the basement that supports the whole upstairs right out of the beam pocket and it fell to the floor. With all the weight in the

The brothers also own Saints and Sinners in Pittston, the Riverside Café in Wilkes-Barre and Brews Brothers West in Luzerne. The Monday night entertainment form the Ale House and the weekend entertainment

schedule from Brews Brothers have been moved to Brews Brothers West.

Mike said Brews Brothers will be back. “We were able to wash out some stuff, other stuff we had to throw out. We had to rip out walls, insulation. We got power

back quickly. We got a good start. We’re going to redo the whole bar area. We ordered new windows, doors, they are going to take three weeks. In three to four weeks we should be ready to go. It’s going to be nice.”

If there is a sliver lining, it’s a move into downtown Pittston.

The brothers are considering opening in Pittston in the old Bottoms Up bar adjacent to the Tomato Festival lot. They might keep the Ale House name or go with a tomato theme.

“There might be some money through SBA for relocating your business, so we’ve been talking about moving into Pittston. As of now there’s not much help out there. I don’t know what’s going to happen until the Feds come in,” Mike said.

But the brothers are optimistic about downtown Pittston. “I think it will happen sooner rather than later. It will get me out of the flood plain. Believe me, it’s no fun. In 2005 we got flooded. It took five months to get the place back together and it was flooded a week later.”

FACTS OF LAW

By Dominick P. Pannunzio, Esq. A federal court decision means that the state Turnpike and Bridge Authority will be able to continue giving Rhode Island residents a deep discount on the tolls they pay to cross the Pell Bridge. The individual plaintiff in the case is Isabel S. Cohen, a Connecticut resident whom lawyers have described as a housewife who crosses the bridge regularly to visit relatives in Newport. *** Arkansas has a new law that bans students from exposing their underwear, buttocks or breasts. *** The City of Concord, CA has prevailed in a lawsuit filed by a resident challenging the constitutionality of an ordinance adopted by the City Council to regulate the parking and storage of recreational vehicles in residential neighborhoods. The City initially prevailed at the trial court level, and the California Court of Appeal has affirmed the decision upholding the validity of the ordinance as a valid exercise of the City’s police power authority to establish land-use regulations promoting traffic safety and the attractive appearance of residential neighborhoods within the Concord community.

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2011

OUR OPINION YOUR OPINION Who is America’s Handiest Mayor?

This story may be apocryphal, but it is nonetheless illustrative of what lots of people in West Pittston, Duryea and other flood hit areas are dealing with. Representatives of an agency, let’s say the Red Cross or Salvation Army, are delivering food to a flood stricken area. They stop at a home where an elderly man lives alone.

They give him a meal. He holds it, hesitatingly. They ask him what’s wrong and he says, “I don’t have a fork.”

The story illustrates how deep the loss of property goes for many and how deep the compassion of many goes for the flood victims.

The stories of devastation and of volunteerism are legion. So many newspapers and television and radio stations can only scratch the surface of the depth of pain.

Many stories of homes, businesses and personal possessions being lost get reported, but many, many more are left untold.

The clean up of the Jewish Cemetery in West Pittston by volunteers is one.

Stories of the rescue of horses, chickens and other animals in the Falls and Harding areas are others.

Then there is the story of the mayor of Pittston Jason Kush, who stayed up most if not all night Thursday gassing and oiling pumps and generally working to save city homes and businesses. Some of the people he helped didn’t even know who he was.

Mayors are known for their ability to fix things, but not in the way Pittston’s mayor does.

He fixes real things with real hands.

We like to think of him as “America’s Handiest Mayor.”

Grateful for King’s College ‘angels’ If anyone asks us, “Do you believe in angels?” we will definitely say “Yes!” We saw them in person.

They were summoned by our dear friend and neighbor Cindy Lynch, a Kings College alumnus. Cindy called the King’s College Volunteer Office, and Tammy Fritz and Lee Ann Mazurick recruited and joined 12 students who arrived at our home, equipped with full body coverage, masks and gloves and got to work. They emptied all of our basement contents on to the front lawn, ready for pickup. They worked so hard in the mud and stench lifting heavy furniture, rugs, books, clothing, appliances and on and on.

They would come to us every so often gently holding a family photo or religious article, and say “I thought you might want to save this.”

There were some who worked one day and others who worked two. One of the students, Melissa, I believe, said “Please let us know if there is any way we could help you better.”

Our angels of mercy are pictured above, and we are listing their names, in no particular order. I hope we got them right.

Thanks to them and many other folks who are helping us get through the event.

Tammy Fritz, Lee Ann Mazurick, Melissa Loomis, Patrick Wade, Donny Dennison, Matt Cicconi, Jonathan Beakman, Casey O’Brien, Kevin Tomaszewski, Tyler Baran, Zackery Burgess, Fercandy Jusito, John Sanchez, Robert Santopietro.

With time don’t forget the Knox We note here that John J. Gadomski, 84, of Wyoming, died Thursday. He was the last surviving miner of the Knox Mine Disaster of January 22, 1959. That John lived for another half century after climbing out of that shaft accents how tragic the deaths of the 12 then young men who did not make it out was.

It is said the Knox Disaster effectively ended anthracite deep-mining here. Let it not be said John’s death will end our attention to coal’s legacy here.

We need more, not fewer, reminders of our heritage.

Dispatch Associate Editor Jack Smiles didn’t set out to write a trilogy of breaker boy-toBaseball Hall of Fame books, but with the release of his biography of Hughestown’s Bucky Harris, he has accomplished just that. The book “Bucky Harris, a Biography of Baseball’s Boy Wonder” is published by McFarland & Company.

Smiles took more than two years writing and researching the book, which is 320 pages and contains 33 photos, appendix, notes, bibliography, and index.

On Thursday, that’s this Thursday, Sept. 29, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Smiles will be signing and discussing the book at the Pittston Library.

While Harris is not technically a local native – he was born in

Port Jervis, New Jersey, in 1896 – his father moved the family to Hughestown when Bucky was three.

In the 1920 census Bucky was counted in Hughestown on Rock Street and listed as a weighmaster in a colliery. Just four years later, at the age of 27, Bucky, aka “The Boy Wonder,” as the manager and second baseman of the Washington Senators led the team to its only World Series championship in an upset so stunning it was the inspiration for the Broadway play Damn Yankees.

Bucky also managed the 1947 World Champion Yankees in Yogi Berra’s rookie season. The book chronicles Bucky’s transformation from an obscure breaker boy with dirt under his nails to the toast of our nation’s capital where the president of the United States was a guest at his wedding and includes his stint as a professional basketball player, his early days as a baseball player, and his role in the racial integration of both the Senators and the Boston Red Sox. As a basketball player Bucky played for the Pittston Pitts in the Penn State League from 1916 to ‘20 and participated in some fierce battles with Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Nanticoke teams and played against Hall of Fame players.

YO U R S PAC E

Questions fee for turning on electricity ning perfectly. Now, entire areas of homes and businesses need to be redone? And what happens to people that don’t have $60.00 to have their electric turned on? Would the electric be turned off?

The Borough issued another statement indicating they will allow outside inspectors for general inspections, but only their inspector can be used for “advanced” inspections.

They described an advanced inspection as any inspection having to deal with water issues on the first floor of a home. With over 240 homes affected in West Pittston, that is basically the entire Borough. How is one person going to be able to adequately service 240 homes?

Flooded homeowners have been burdened with new and difficult decisions to make every day.

They are doing their due diligence by researching companies, getting estimates and hiring qualified people they are comfortable doing business with.

West Pittston is basically allowing one man to go into homes, charge what he wants and tell people what they have to do to their homes – no matter what anyone else says.

One of the many things that make our Country great is a free market and capitalism. Our antitrust laws are in place so that no one can price-fix or create a monopoly at the expense of the consumer.

Why aren’t we allowing qualified inspectors into the Borough to help the residents and compete for their services? Why aren’t the residents allowed to choose whom they let in their home? Where is a second opinion?

The Borough inspector was on the local news stating that he “didn’t ask for this.” No one did, especially the people who lost everything. No one should tell them who they have to hire. No one.

I wish all the flood victims a speedy rebuilding to life as you once knew it and better.

My Best, Laura C. Dennis, Esq.

Enjoy Penna. apples As the summer season comes to a close and the cold, crisp fall air rushes in we gear up for many people’s favorite time of year – apple season. According to the Pennsylvania Apples Marketing Program, Pennsylvania apple growers produce approximately 440 million pounds of apples, making the state the fourth largest apple producer in the country!

The health benefits of apples are numerous. Their skin contains a great amount of vitamins and minerals including the B-complex, vitamin C, calcium, iron, and potassium. Apples are also a good source of fiber. Together, these nutrients may help reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and unhealthy cholesterol levels. These nutrients are also essential in maintaining good bone health.

Apples are very eclectic – there are many different kinds. Cortland, Gala, Red Delicious, Granny Smith, and McIntosh are some of the more popular ones to name a few. Experiment and try them all to find which ones are your favorites.

Apples are also found in many recipes. They provide a unique, sweet flavor that enhances just about any food item. You can also modify any recipe to increase the nutritional content. Here are some delicious apple based creations you can make at home. To begin, here is how to purchase the right apple for the right use: Fresh - McIntosh, Cortland, Jonathan, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Stay Man, Wine Sap Applesauce, Pies and Baking - Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Cortland, Jonathan, Stay Man, Wine Sap, Rome Beauty There are many ways to combine apples with other foods to create a mouthful of flavor. Some examples include: • Sliced apples with 2 TBS of peanut butter • Slice apple rings, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on them and heat in the oven • Add apple slices to your yogurt or salad Remember to keep the skin on!

Apple Walnut Cake

Ingredients: 3 eggs beaten or 6 egg whites 2 cups sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 cups flour 2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 4 cups unpeeled diced Pennsylvania apples 1 cup chopped walnuts Beat together eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla.

The flood and its aftermath have dealt a devastating blow to the Greater Pittston area. With this disaster come challenges and opportunities. For some, the challenge lies in just finding somewhere to sleep, for others, the opportunity lies in being able to reach out and help their friends, neighbors or a total stranger and show them how much they’re cared for.

Other than the time I was away at school, I have called Wyoming Area home for 37 years. I’ve never witnessed anything like this devastation and I’ve never been prouder to call this my home. Our community has rallied around each other come together in many ways.

Several days after the flood, I was contacted by an older woman that had been a client for years.

She was very upset because she had no electricity in her home. The contractor she hired had come out and repaired the lines, PP&L came and inspected them and it was turned on. The next day a Borough inspector showed up at her home and told her that he should have been contacted before the electric was turned on and that she owed him $60.00. Out of fear, she paid the man. She contacted me because she didn’t know why she had to pay this money.

Over the course of last week, I learned that although West Pittston Borough has waived all permitting fees. They were allowing ONE contracted inspector to charge homeowners for inspections.

This person is not paid by the Borough, he is paid a commission on permits pulled. Therefore, it is in his interest for people to take out as many permits as possible.

To further complicate matters, I learned that not only were people being charged to have their electricity turned back on, they were being told that areas in their homes that were not affected by the flood would need to be redone. These were homes and businesses that only three weeks ago were run-

West Pittston Library: ravaged but resilient

By Maria Jiunta Heck

Dispatch Correspondent

The West Pittston Library has, for the last 138 years, been a port in the storm. It’s been the stalwart presence in a constant sea of change. It’s more than a library, some would say. It’s a cultural center, a Mecca for technological needs, and a safe and welcoming haven for meeting friends, hosting tutoring, doing homework and simply, just being.

The West Pittston Library is a judgment-free zone that caters to every age, every generation, every patron. It’s the books that first drew-in the masses, but it’s the programs, seasonal offerings, welcoming and knowledgeable staff and general positive aura that keep them coming back.

But, last week, the port shifted, it faltered, and it came tumbling down. We have all suffered insurmountable damage at the bullying fists of Hurricane Lee, and this library received no preferential treatment.

Despite a day of pre-flood prep work which included the lifting of thousands of books, periodicals, DVDs and computers to higher ground, the fury of Lee ran angrily and deep…and took more than 14,000 books with it.

What it didn’t take – couldn’t take – is the positive energy and optimistic future forecasting exhibited by Library Director Anne Bramblett Barr and her staff.

Bramblett Barr emphasized: “This library will be back and it will be better than ever. We are currently taking steps toward establishing a temporary library site in the gymnasium of the former American Legion Building… and it will be sooner rather than later.”

Bramblett Barr and her staff take pride in being the place where both adults and children want to be. “We always knew when school was out for the day, because kids would come tearing through the door. Many of these kids’ parents work, and we had always been encouraging them to become our after-school “ibrary-dwellers.”

Bramblett Barr continues: “Our patrons, all generations of patrons, have become part of our

extended family here. We don’t want them to go without computer or Internet access or a quiet place to read or study for very long. They need us as much as we look forward to having them.

The sooner we get back into the community, the happier we will all be.”

The scant furniture and books that were saved have been washed, sterilized and stored, led by dozens of community volunteers. The roughly 12,000 books that were rescued were transported to a dry location and have been meticulously sanitized and disinfected and await relocation with anticipation.

The recovery process of a public institution with so many periodicals is tedious and expensive.

Bramblett Barr is looking forward to accepting the kindness of donations from the tight-knit community of loyal patrons as well as those from other libraries within Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties.

The West Pittston Library has immediately launched a plan to relocate to their temporary site within the next month. Since they have lost nearly everything in the flood, they are in dire need of purchasing replacements of every type. To that end, in order to restore much needed basic library services to the public, such as: computer and internet use, lending of materials and information services, they ask the public to consider donating monetary contributions toward this effort c/o The WP Library Recovery Fund of the Luzerne County Foundation, 140 Main Street, 2nd Floor, Luzerne, PA 18709 or call 570-714-1570.

As the last, saturated remnants of volumes of books were carted away via wheelbarrows and tucked into the arms of volunteers, something caught the light. It was a book of Rudyard Kipling poetry. Inside, fittingly, was a poem entitled The Flood: The rain it rains without a stay In the hills above us, in the hills; And presently the floods break way Whose strength is in the hills.

The West Pittston Library has been knocked down, but knows its own strengths. Its strength is in its community and in its pa-

Question #1 An article in the Duryea section of the September 25, 1956, issue of the Sunday Dispatch noted that in 1892, Duryea was known by what other name?

Peeking into the past With Judy Minsavage

1956 – 55 Years Ago Mae O’Malley, president of the newly formed Washington-Wilson Consolidated Parent Teacher Association in Duryea, sent out a request that more parents and teachers show interest in the PTA and their programs. The Association, lacking in new memberships, was in danger of being abandoned and was responsible for the merger of the two school programs.

Pittston City Police Chief O’Brien had a gang war on his hands. A tip was received that teenagers from Jenkins Township and Pittston were gathering for a fight on South Main Street and some were reported to be carrying switchblades. After being detained at city hall, the Jenkins Township youths were instructed to stay out of Pittston or risk being arrested.

Pittston City Police reported that they had seen several odd thefts over the years some including bookkeeping machines, raw clams, chickens and radio aerials, but one break-in stood out. One young man owed several dollars to a small grocery store. He broke into the building through an office window, found the billing records and marked “paid” beside his name. He was caught exiting the building.

Reporters at various Pittston Area schools would report their respective news to the Sunday Dispatch each week.

Patricia Harrington, Jo Ann Merli and Mary Helen Danko were responsible for Pittston High; Joyce Pace and Elaine Pace, Exeter High School; Pat Korecki and Edna Hartman, Wyoming High; Ida Ralston, Mary Ann Atmonavage and Ann Marie DeLuca, Jenkins High School; Audrey Malinics and Joan Bellomo, Dupont High; Mary Mularkey and Eleanor Frati, Hughestown High; Rosemary Wierbowski, Nancy Bittinger, Ned Shaughnessy and Pat Cumbo, West Pittston High; Elaine Gillis and Suzanne Scoda, Duryea High; Loretta Richel and Mary Timlin, Avoca High; and Charlotte Jacobowsky, Frances Hoover and Louise Saunders, West Wyoming.

1976 – 36 Years Ago Jim “Casey” Barrett, or “Mr. Baseball” as he was known to many kids in Pittston, passed away. Little Leaguers and their parents all knew Mr. Barrett as a fixture, coaching the Moose Club and First Bank teams and taking the 1955 and 1963 teams to state finals. Earlier in the year, the league presented Mr. Barrett with a plaque commemorating his 25 years of service.

The first Italian American Citizens Club Golf Tournament was held at Emanon Country Club. Joe Jumper took the trophy shooting a 74 winning by match of scorecards. John Corridoni, John Yakobitis, and John Salerno tied at 74.

Dave Ball won first flight.

Susan Sgarlat was named Wyoming Area Homecoming Queen. She along with her court Ann Greskiewicz, Donna Lippi, Joann Montagna and Mary Claire Chairge were looking forward to the Wyoming Area Homecoming Game.

Receiving the highest qualifying score on the Preliminary Aptitude test in Pennsylvania, Joanne Marie Russavage was among 15,000 semi-finalists of the nation’s most academically talented high school seniors competing for the National Merit Scholarship Program. The test was administered to over one million students in approximately 17,000 schools nationwide. Beginning in 1955, the program currently benefits approximately 50,000 qualifying students.

1986 – 26 Years Ago A full year after Gloria, a category 4 hurricane dumped more than 7 inches of rain in a 24-hour period on the Eastern Seaboard the residents of Greater Pittston were awaiting monetary assistance specified by the Act25/Act88 grant program. The Department of Welfare cut disaster relief from $15 to 7 million prompting legislators to intervene and ask for reconsideration of denied claims.

Hurricane Gloria formed during the 1985 Atlantic hurricane season Gloria reached Category 4 status near the Bahamas, but weakened by the time it made landfall on North Carolina’s Outer Banks at Hatteras.

It was the first competition of the season and the Wyoming Area Marching Band did their very best by captur-

ing first place in Group II. Directed by Don Butz and Cathy Clamar and fronted by drum majors Sabrina Stach and Beth Jones, the band placed fourth out of ten bands in overall performance at the tournament held in Berwick.

Ann Sleboda, Kay Haddock, Rose Rosiak, Ann Wassil, Rose Pavlick, Ann Tirpak, Susan Chromey, Ann Andruchek, Margaret Pesta, Mary Kundla, William Kossuth, Mary Kossuth, Susan Tkach and Eva Shemo all of St. John the Baptist Slovak Church were busy making thousands of delicious pirohy the old fashioned way for their 10th annual bazaar.

Question #2 How many ways are there to spell pirohy, the potato or sauerkraut filled dumpling?

1996 – 16 Years Ago A memorial tree honoring all living and deceased members of the Ladies Auxiliary to Przybytek-Kundlas Post 4909 V.F.W. was planted on the lawn of the Dupont Borough building. Ann Marie Milon O’Malley, Michael Rowan, Ed Strucke, Marg Strucke, Pat Buchan, Michelle Buchan, Clara Vida Dulney, Doris Goula, Fran Krupnik, Mary Ziantz, Lottie Maleski, Bill and Mary Kossuth, Charles Rydzy, John Buchan and Auxiliary President Stella Kotula participated in the event.

Answer #1 The article in the Duryea section of the Sunday Dispatch on September 25, 1956 noted that in 1892 Duryea was known as Red Ball, Pennsylvania, and that Stephenson Street was known as Red Ball Street. It also stated, good fishing existed at Cianelli’s Farm on Foote Avenue and at Red Bridge Pond and Blue Pond, each divided by the Lehigh Valley railroad tracks. Simpson’s Patch was once known as Shady Grove Park and the American Legion Post 585 had one of the best stadiums in the area.

Answer #2 Pirohy can also be spelled pierogi, perogi, pierogy, perogy, pyrohy, or pyrogy dependent upon one’s nationality and customs.

Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.

1966 – 45 Years Ago

Faculty members of the Wyoming Area School District recommended that all pupils from kindergarten through sixth grade use common textbooks in the development of reading skills. The district adopted the Ginn Basic Reading Program as a measure of standardizing the reading skills. Dorothy Mitchell, Joseph Knish, James Brokenshire and Gail Young oversaw the implementation of the program. To see some of the Ginn primers written by Odille Ousley as well as earlier issues go to http:// the_book_shelf.tripod.com/readers.html.

The Water Street Baptist Church celebrated its 190th anniversary. Edith Irving and Mrs. William Martin were honored as the oldest living members.

The church was organized in 1776, the year recognized as the beginning of the First Baptist Church in Pittston. After the Wyoming Massacre in July, 1778, with members either killed or dispersed, the church nearly broke apart. In 1785, the church was re-born with an edifice built and cornerstone laid on September 1865.

Mrs. Harold Memory entered the West Pittston Borough Council meeting with a petition in hand signed by 30 borough residents. She asked council to find a remedy to the flooding that had consistently occurred over a 30-year period on North and Fifth streets.

Avoca Borough residents felt that their Squire Thomas M. Golden held some type of record. In his 24 years as judge, he had performed 406 weddings on couples from all over Northeastern Pennsylvania. One couple, he remembered, flew into Avoca airport from Philadelphia, arranged for him to perform the nuptials and took the next flight out.

The magnitude 9.2 earthquake of 1964 in Anchorage, Alaska, prompted Duryea borough officials, Joseph Rava, George Murman and Mayor John B. Salek to consider reorganizing the Duryea Civil Defense Program. During a Luzerne County meeting, the men viewed a film that stated ravaged communities affected by the earthquake did not have any programs to help devastated victims. The men felt re-establishing a Civil Defense Program in Duryea would benefit if disaster struck their community. Before the creation of Federal Emergency Man-

agement Association or FEMA on March 31, 1979, the responsibility for handling disasters in the United States was shared by a wide variety of shortlived and frequently changing departments, agencies, and organizations the Civil Defense Program being one.

More than 1400 homes damaged Some 60 local businesses

By Jack Smiles

Associate Editor

Sam Agolino stands in front of his father's restaurant, hands in the air, ready to move forward.

By Monday afternoon, the Williams family on Montgomery Avenue was looking for help from the federal government.

ceding, the Bank of America branch opposite PennMart on the hard-hit corner was back in business thanks to two mobile banks with two teller windows and four ATMs which corporate brought in and parked in the bank’s parking.

Manager Louise Balbach said she couldn’t talk about the damage to the bank building but is happy they got back in business quickly. “The mobile arrived Wednesday and by Friday we were fully functional, tellers and everything,” she said.

At the Agolino’s Char Grill Restaurant – a half century old family enterprise next to the bank on Luzerne – proprietor Joe Agolino said they tried to fight the river

and lost.

“We were trying to get stuff out of the basement at 10 after 7 in the morning. We just couldn’t keep up with it. We didn’t get in here again until Saturday night and it was complete devastation. We had a 14foot walk-in cooler tipped right off its base. Freezers upside down. Booths all over the place. In ’72 we had the same thing but we had only one building.”

Since then Agolino’s added a dining room. That was flooded this time.

Agolino said he is grateful for the help he and everyone in West Pittston got. “Everybody has just been wonderful. The football team, the borough, everybody.

The support has just been tremendous.”

Agolino had 35 employees. He couldn’t keep them all on. Some are working at his dinner restaurant, Pazzo on Rt. 315, which is trying to fill the void by being open for lunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

West Pittston is a leader among local municipalities in a category they’d rather not be on top of. Preliminary figures provided by the borough show 880 homes and 26 businesses were affected by the flood. Among the homes 628 experienced basement flooding, 236 first floor flooding and 16 second floor flooding. Of those 15 were listed as unsafe for entry until further inspection and two were recommended for demolition.

Duryea was number two on the hit list with 339 homes affected, 108 with basement and 192, first floor flooding. At least 12 houses had foundation damage. The other 39, though they were not damaged, are listed as inaccessible, a FEMA term, which means they were inaccessible during the high water.

Those 39 were on Coxton Road.

Three homes are confirmed as unsafe. “There are orange Xs painted on them,” said Robert Webb the borough’s EMA manager. “They are marked no entry.

They will likely have to be demolished.”

Six businesses were affected: The Lower Lackawanna Pump Station, John’s Service, and JD’s

“Some of my workers got hit and they have their own problems. So far they are all sticking with me.”

Agolino said the worst of the clean up was getting the food out. “People were getting sick. They had to take breaks. We filled up three 30-yard dumpsters and a 20-yard.”

Agolino said he will reopen. “Now we have to do everything to code. New plumbing, new electric, it’s a big undertaking but I’m coming back better than ever. We got a new design. The architect was here today. The furniture was ordered today because lead time is eight weeks.

We’re trying for eight weeks. That’s me talking, but the contractor can’t commit.

You gotta live, you know. I’ll be back. It’s going to a beautiful place again. But if it happens again, I don’t know.”

Further down Luzerne the office of Polit and Costello Dentistry was wiped out.

Deicing in the Coxton section and on Main Street Piontek’s Funeral Home, Lizza’s Garage and Cap ‘n’ Tap’s Bar. In Jenkins Township 91 homes were affected, five basement only, 73 first floor and 13 second floor.

Six got major structural damage.

“The township doesn’t have power to order demolition,” Webb said.

“That’s up to FEMA. We’re saying under our construction codes they are unsafe and can’t be inhabited.

They could be reconstructed but then they’d have to be inspected by township.”

Three businesses, Magione Service, Milazzo and River Street Ale house have structural damage.

Snap Tools, Café Italia, Mesko Motors, and Brew’s Brothers were also affected.

In Exeter Township 36 single family homes, one multi-family building, 37 mobile homes and three businesses were flooded, a total of 77. Among the single family homes damage is listed as major in 29, minor in eight, while five were destroyed. Among the mobile homes five had major damage and 32 were destroyed.

Exeter Borough estimates 28-30 homes affected on Susquehanna Avenue with basement and first floor flooding.

“On Wednesday,” Dr. Tony Polit said, “When they said 34 to 35 feet we elevated everything to the counters, computers, instruments, except for the chairs.”

On Friday they were on the TV news when they rode a boat over10 feet of water to retrieve their computer server from the second floor. “We saved the brains of business, but nothing else was salvaged.”

The building was gutted and the dentists will not be reopening in West Pittston where they have been for 14 years. They are moving to 457 North Main Street in Pittston, Suite 100, in the old Insalaco’s supermarket plaza, at the corner of New and Main.

The dentists hope to open there in midNovember. It will be double the size of the West Pittston offices and have state-of-the art technology.

In the meantime Polit and Costello are serving all their patients at two temporary

Special to the Dispatch

As the waters receded last week, youth at the Greater Pittston YMCA jumped into action to help families ravaged by the flood.

Children in the YMCA Before and After Care Program hosted a two-week clothing drive to help area flood victims. Gently used clothing and baby items such as diapers, formula, wipes and Hailey Wargo, Mackenzie Powers, Joey Moore, Kiaura Ruskey, Zoe Scott, and Faith Wargo, left to right, help with the clothing drive at the Greater Pittston YMCA.

shampoo were collected.

“I am so proud of the children,” said Kimberlee Powers, Before and After Care assistant group supervisor. “The children truly spread the word about the drive. Most of the parents donated.”

A donation box was setup in the lobby of the YMCA for donated items. More than 100 bags of clothing and other essential items were collected from staff, parents and YMCA employees.

“The children also decorated the clothing drive boxes,” said Powers. “Their hand prints are literally all over the boxes.”

Fifty children participated in the drive.

“The flood truly affected the

children,” said Suzanne Alba, child care director. “Some of our child care families were affected and the children knew many friends and family members in the flood. This was their way of helping to bring comfort to the victims.”

The clothing drive was one of many charitable causes the Greater Pittston YMCA participates in every year.

“Our focus is social responsibility,” said Craig Lukatch, YMCA executive director. “This is our community. Our members and staff, literally our family, was touched by the devastation.

This was just one small way we were able to help and bring comfort to the flood victims.”

Police Warning

several calls from residents who were contacted by phone by a male and a female who spoke with a foreign accent and claimed to be from Washington D.C.

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2011

West Pittston attempts to deal with flood aftermath West Pittston took the biggest hit in the entire area where nearly 630 homes had basements flooded, over 230 homes had first floor flooding, 16 homes had second floor damage, 50 homes had structural damage and 26 businesses were displaced.

Several structures have been or are being considered for demolition.

One structure razed was located on Luzerne Avenue. The building housed eight apartments and two businesses that included C.R. Tan. The tanning salon had removed as much equipment and furnishings as possible, but had to leave an $18,000 tanning booth according to Bernice Remus, co-owner of the salon with her husband Chuck.

Michael LaNunziata, owner of Crest Cleaners, took a big hit during the flood. He owns all the buildings from Crest Cleaners to the now razed C.R. Tan location.

LaNunziata was unsure how it was all going to shake out financially in regards to razing the building. He was going to have to consult with his insurance company as well as FEMA. West Pittston Mayor Tony Denisco wanted to assure residents that all debris will be hauled away at the expense of the borough. “We won’t stop until it’s all gone,” said Denisco.

Mayor encourages residents to file FEMA forms as soon as possible. He also thanks everyone for their patience and cooperation over the last few weeks.

Jallen selected to Paralympic Ski team Wyoming Area student one of seven American women selected

Fifteen-year old Stephanie Jallen of Harding has been named one of seven female athletes nationwide to the National Paralympics Alpine Ski Team by Kevin Jardine, Director of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) High Performance, Paralympic Alpine Skiing. The National Paralympics Alpine Ski Team is a division of the USOC. Stephanie, a sophomore honor student at Wyoming Area High School, has been active in various alpine skiing events over the past seven-years, attaining international rankings in both slalom and giant slalom.

“This is a great honor,” Stephanie commented, “and a huge step towards my goal of qualifying to represent the United States in the International Paralympics in Sochi, Russia, in 2014. I am extremely grateful to so many wonderful people who have helped me along the way.”

“I’m very proud of Stephanie,” said Deb Jallen, Stephanie’s mom. “Her dedication and commitment have been remarkable.

She maintains an extremely rigorous physical training regimen all year round under the direction of physical trainer, Ernie Baul at Danko’s All American Fitness Center, Plains.”

Stephanie travels by herself to venues in Colorado, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Alaska, Austria, etc. to compete against some of the world’s top athletes. While traveling, she attends to her high

school class work to maintain honor role status. “Quite an accomplishment for a 15-year old young lady,” Deb added.

“This new phase in Stephanie’s career brings with it major financial challenges,” continued Deb. “She will now be participating in worldwide competitions and the USOC provides minimal financial assistance, which helps; but

Stephanie still faces expenses that far exceed money provided.”

So far, a few valued friends have worked long hours throughout the years struggling to raisemoney through a variety of fund raising activities. To date, this group of dedicated people has received assistance from a select number of supporters. However, the need for financial aid has now

been magnified with Stephanie’s selection to the National Team.

“It is our earnest hope that this honor that has been afforded to Stephanie will encourage the northeastern Pennsylvania community, both corporate and individual, to lend financial support to her efforts,” Deb said. “She will need first-class equipment to compete in a level playing field

against the world’s top athletes, and air travel expenses are huge, just to name a couple of expense categories.”

A fund has been established to help Stephanie in her quest. The Jallens are hoping the community will rally behind Stephanie by sending tax-deductible donations to SJPF, Inc., c/o Cross Valley Federal Credit Union, PO Box 597, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18703. For further information or to make a donation via PayPal, please go tohttp://stephaniejallen.org/. SJPF, Inc. is non-profit 501(c)(3) status.

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see Stephanie standing on the podium in Russia in 2014,” concluded Deb, “with the United States’ National Anthem playing in the background?”

U.S. Paralympics, a division of the U.S. Olympic Committee, is dedicated to becoming the world leader in the Paralympic sports movement and promoting excellence in the lives of people with physical disabilities.

Since its formation in 2001, U.S. Paralympics has been inspiring Americans to achieve their dreams.

Through education, sports programs and partnerships with community organizations, medical facilities and government agencies, U.S. Paralympics is making a difference in the lives of thousands of people with physical and visual disabilities every day.

Upset minded Patriots fall short Pittston Area gives up late lead in 21-14 loss to Dallas

By Josh Horton

Dispatch Correspondent

After suffering their first loss of the season last Friday night at Crestwood, Pittston Area’s defense took the field yesterday afternoon with a chip on it’s shoulder.

But Despite playing well defensively, the Patriots came up just short against the undefeated Dallas Mountaineers by a score of 21-14 on Homecoming Weekend at Charley Trippi Stadium in Yatesville.

The Patriots shocked the Mountaineers with a 96-yard drive spanning across two quarters.

They took over on their own 6-yard line with 2:59 remaining in the first quarter after a booming Dallas punt, and capped the drive with 8:57 remaining in the first half, when senior quarterback Anthony Schwab connected with his most dangerous receiver, Jordan Houseman, for a 20yard touchdown capping the drive. Chris Musto remained perfect on PATs this season and the Patriots lead was 7-0.

Pittston Area used a balanced attack throughout the drive. Big passing plays by Schwab and hard-nosed running by Marc Romanczuk, Justin Wilk, and Kyle Gattuso gave the Patriots six first downs on the drive.

“They’re capable of doing that all the time,” PA Head Coach Mike Barrett said of the opening drive. “We are trying to get them convinced that not one guy can take one play off. Every single guy has got to come on hard every play.”

Dallas responded quickly, tying the game at 7-7 after just six plays from scrimmage.

The drive concluded with a 5-yard touchdown run by Mountaineers fullback Keifer Rogers. Aaron Napkora added the PAT with 6:24 remaining in the first half.

Both teams had trouble moving the ball on their remaining first-half drives.

However, Dallas got it together when they took over from their own 49 with 56 seconds remaining in the first half.

Two solid rushes and an 11yard pass play from quarterback Ryan Zapoticky set up a first down from the Patriots 25 with just seconds remaining.

The Patriots secondary wouldn’t allow the Mountaineers to take the lead into the locker room as Mike Stankoski and Tyler Roman came up with huge plays defensively setting up fourth-and-3 from the 22 with time for one play.

Zapoticky then threw an incomplete pass, but laundry from the referee allowed the Mountaineers to have one more untimed play. The firstyear Dallas signal-caller had a receiver open in the end zone, but Houseman came flying in, swatting the ball away to keep the game deadlocked headed into halftime.

Dallas threatened to take the lead early in the third quarter. But with less than eight minutes remaining, the Patriots defense stopped the Mountaineers for three consecutive plays setting up fourth-and-3 from the PA 38yard line. The Mountaineers opted to go for it on fourth down, but Joe Harth sacked Zapoticky , and Patriots took over on downs.

Later in the quarter, the Mountaineers found themselves with third-and-5 on their own 45-yard line. Zapoticky dropped back and let the ball fly, but Tyler Roman picked off his pass before it even got close to its intended receiver. Roman ran back the interception 22 yards and the Patriots took over firstand-10 from the Dallas 25.

Pittston Area cashed made the Zapoticky pick hurt when Wilk broke loose for a 13yard touchdown. Musto again added the PAT and the Patri-

ots lead was 14-7 with 10:47 remaining in the game.

“When you see blood, you have to go for the knockout blow,” Barrett said. “I don’t think we went for the blow.”

The Mountaineers answered by marching down the field to tie.

With 4:32 remaining in the game, Zapoticky connected with Don Behm for a 7-yard touchdown. Napkora converted the PAT, and the game was tied 14-14.

The Dallas defense stymied the Patriots offense for the remainder of the game, while its offense responded by taking the 21-14 lead on yet another touchdown pass form Zapoticky. A Zapoticky to Jason Simonovitch 31-yard touchdown was all the Mountaineers would need as the Patriots failed to get any closer in the contest.

Schwab played well in a losing effort for the Patriots, with a 7-for-11 night for 72 yards and a touchdown. Joe Starinsky led the Patriots in receptions with four for 38 yards while Romanczuk was the leading rusher with 53 yards on 14 carries.

Joe Giambra led the Patriots in tackles yesterday afternoon with 12. Josh Blaker, Dave Mawson, Nick Dougal, Mike Hughes, Roman, Houseman and Starinsky also had solid games defensively.

Coach Barrett was happy with the way his defense played and noted the improvement from last week.

“I am very happy with the way our kids played,” Barrett said. “We worked hard on tackling all week and I thought we tackled an awful lot better. We were a defensive football team today.”

The Patriots fell to 2-2 on the season after winning their first two games. The schedule doesn’t get any easier as they travel to Hazleton Area to take on the Cougars on Friday night.

The first-half statistics showed Old Forge in total control of its Lackawanna Football Conference crossover matchup with Honesdale.

The scoreboard showed otherwise.

Still the Blue Devils were able to escape the rain-soaked Wayne Highlands with a 19-6 win over the winless Hornets on Friday night behind a dominating defense and the running of senior Lou Febbo.

Old Forge (3-1) ran 36 plays in the first half compared to 13 for Honesdale (0-4), and outgained the Hornets by 147 yards, holding their hosts to minus-20 yards total offense in the first half. Yet the Blue Devils led just 6-0 at intermission after two 15-play drives stalled inside the five. Old Forge also fumbled on first-and-goal from the 4 on its third possession of the game.

The Blue Devils opened the game with nine consecutive rushing plays before Colin Carey found Febbo on a screen pass for 15 yards on fourthand-5 from the Honesdale 35.

But six plays later, the Hornets stuffed Carey on fourth down from the 4 with 3:05 showing on the first quarter clock.

Old Forge held Honesdale on three downs and again stayed on the ground, rushing 15 times for 50 yards before Febbo was stopped on fourth-and-5 from the Hornets’ 8.

Brian Tomasetti caused a fumble on the next Honesdale possession which the Blue Devils recovered at the Hornets 15, but Old Forge gave the ball right back, fumbling four plays later.

Joey Ciuccio got the ball back for the Blue Devils when the senior defensive end ripped the ball loose from Honesdale quarterback Kevin Miller. Old Forge recovered on the Honesdale 7, and three plays later, Febbo finally hit paydirt with a 5-yard score with 31 seconds left in the first half. The PAT was missed, but Old Forge led 6-0.

Febbo rushed for 70 yards on

21 carries in the opening 24 minutes as the Blue Devils held the ball for 19:18 of the first half.

Honesdale moved into Old Forge territory on its first two drives of the second half, but both times Ciuccio and Tony DeSando made plays to stop the Hornets.

On third-and-17 from the Old Forge 44, Ciuccio sniffed out a screen pass, and along with Cory Stuart and Anthony Trotta made the stop after just a 4-yard gain to force a punt. Then on fourth-and-5 from the Old Forge 48, Ciuccio and DeSando stuffed tailback Kyle Carney in the backfield for a 5-yard loss.

Ciuccio and DeSando combined to finish with 12 tackles, including seven for a loss, three sacks and a forced fumble.

The Blue Devils stayed on the ground with Febbo and Tomasetti, and the latter scored from 5-yards out with 2:05 left in the third quarter to put Old Forge ahead, 12-0, after the two-point run failed.

A sack by DeSando on Honesdale’s next possession forced another Hornets punt which traveled just six yards to set up the Blue Devils next score.

Two plays after the punt, Febbo powered his way in for a 5yard touchdown. Matt Mancuso drilled the extra-point, and Old Forge led 19-0.

Febbo finished with 131 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries while Tomasetti checked in with 40 yards and a TD on nine carries. Carey completed his only two passes of the night for 29 yards, including a 14-yarder in the second quarter to Shane Schuback for the sophomore’s first career catch.

The Old Forge defense held Honesdale to 93 yards rushing on 33 carries and 25 yards passing on a 3-for-11 night for Miller. The Hornets had scored a combined 82 points and thrown for seven touchdowns in its previous two games.

The Blue Devils host arch-rival Riverside on Friday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Steamtown to hold foliage tour Noticeably shorter September days, clear blue skies with a nip in the early morning air, yellow school buses in the morning commute: All unmistakable signs that Mother Nature is preparing for her annual autumn display of the finest fall foliage in Northeast Pennsylvania! One of the best ways to view this beautiful array of colors is aboard a passenger train traveling through beautiful fall scenery in the nearby Pocono Mountains.

Excursions to Moscow will depart the Steamtown NHS boarding platform at 11:00 a.m. on October 1, 8, 9, 16 and 29, with an expected return at 1:30 p.m. The Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Chapter, NRHS, which leases the former Moscow passenger station and freight house, will offer light refreshments for sale during the train’s layover.

Excursions to Tobyhanna, a village atop the Pocono Mountains, are planned for October 2, 22, 23 and 30; the October 22 trip will also make a stop at the Gouldsboro Station and will be greeted by the Coolbaugh Township Historical Association, with a one-hour layover, and will have light re-

The excursion is scheduled to depart the Steamtown boarding platform at 9:00 a.m., for a planned arrival in East Stroudsburg at approximately 11:15 a.m. The event will celebrate the re-dedication of the Dansbury Depot, a former passenger station of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad built in the 1850s. The excursion will be pulled by historic diesel locomotives and along with the train, a day-long festival will take place at Miller Park which is scheduled to include musicians and entertainers, railroad memorabilia and numerous other family-centered activities. The East Stroudsburg Community Alliance is sponsoring the event. Members of the Historic Railroad Switching Tower will offer tours of the building and discuss its preservation work completed so far.

town, the train departs for Scranton, with an expected arrival at 4:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $54.00 for adults 16 to 61 years old, $49.00 for ages 62 and older and $32.00 for children 6 to 15. Children to age 5 are free with a paying adult, but a ticket is required.

Wilkes presents ‘Almost Maine,’ September 29 through October 2

First Liberty Bank makes gift to Wyoming Seminary First Liberty Bank & Trust, a division of Community Bank, N.A., recently made a $12,500 donation to Wyoming Seminary in support of its scholarship funds, through the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Pro-

gram. Robert P. Matley, First Liberty president, said First Liberty is honored to make the donation. "Wyoming Seminary is an outstanding institution with a proud and well-earned reputation for providing a quality education

to its students. We are confident our contribution will be put to good use," he said.

Seen during the check presentation are John Shafer, Vice President of Advancement, Wyoming Seminary, at left, and Matley.

Wilkes University presents its fall 2011 theatre production, the romantic fable Almost, Maine.

This whimsical play, written by John Cariani, features a cast of Wilkes University students and is directed by Joseph C. Dawson, chair of the division of visual and performing arts.

Performances will be held at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Sept. 29, 30, and Oct. 1 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 2, at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $15 general admission, $10 for Wilkes alumni listed in the alumni directory and $5 for non-Wilkes students and senior citizens. Wilkes students, faculty, and staff receive free admission with a valid Wilkes ID. Residents of the remote and mythical town of Almost, Maine, are about to fall in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. One cold winter’s night is all it takes to find true love or to lose it, and just in case they don’t get it right the first time, fate is there to step in and fix things along the way. A study in magical realism, Almost, Maine weaves romance, humor, and poignant self-discovery into a tapestry depicting what life can be when people open their hearts to love and

honesty.

For more information about the 2011-2012 theatre season at Wilkes University, please call 1800-WILKES-U, ext. 4420.

Pictured at left is Luke Brady of West Pittston, struggles to help William McGovern of Harveys Lake, who just can’t keep from falling in Almost, Maine.
