Occupy Wall Street? Sorry, got to go to work The term “skippies” never caught on and I’ve always wondered why.

In the same vein as “yuppies” – “young upwardly mobile urban professionals” – skippies was an acronym, of sorts. It meant “school kids with income and purchasing power.”

Coined around the year 2000, the term referred to a trend that began in the ‘80s and snowballed. The trend was high school kids working 20 and even 30 hours a week at their “part time” jobs. It was the last nail in the “family” coffin. The first came when mom had to get a job because one income just wasn’t enough any more.

Then dad got a second job and soon, every person in the house capable of dressing themselves and wiping their own noses was working for a living.

That’s not how things were when I was in high school.

Then, a part-time job was usually a paper route – an hour or so in the morning or afternoon – or an usher at the American

Theatre on Saturdays and Sundays. And only a handful of kids did either of those. The rest of us were busy being, well, kids. And students. We might have had a summer job but that ended, ironically, on Labor Day. Teachers assigned homework back then, tons of it. And you were expected to do it, too, not only by your teachers but even more so by your parents. More kids played sports then, too, both varsity sports and intramurals and just plain pick-up games with friends, and stuck around after school to participate in activities like Glee Club and Yearbook Staff. What else were we going to do?

Almost no high school student in those days had a car either. Sure we would have liked a car but did we need one? Not really. And besides, who was going to pay for it?

Times have changed. Now there are more cars in the student parking lots at high schools than in the teachers’

lots. Today, every kid needs a car. Why? Simple. They need a car to rush to work right after school. And why are they rushing to work right after school?

Well, to pay for the car, of course.

Any high school coach can provide examples of potential outstanding athletes in their schools who never go out for a team because of their “part time” jobs. And any teacher can tell you there’s no point in assigning homework when kids are just getting home from a stint at McDonald’s or Burger King at 11 at night.

Maybe the term “skippies” didn’t stick because it’s too cute to describe what’s going on here. Kids working like this aren’t kids at all, really. They might be only 16 or 17, but they’ve been turned into adults, complete with adult responsibilities and adult burdens. And many of them think that should bring adult “privileges.” Don’t adults unwind after a long day with a few beers?

But giving the youth of America almost full-time “parttime” jobs did something else to them that is not quite as apparent. It shut them up.

In the ‘60s and early ‘70s not only did high school kids not work but neither did most college students. College students sat around between and after classes drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and “solving the problems of the world.” For better or worse, their “solutions” often turned into demonstrations, and the demonstrations sometimes got out of hand. It wasn’t always pretty or even logical but it was good for America. Good in the sense that public discourse is so important in a democracy that the Bill of Rights guarantees it.

Young people should be idealists, out to right wrongs, quick to ask questions and demand answers. If not the young, then who? Comfortable old guys like me sipping a martini and wondering whether to order the salmon or the osso

buco?

So I for one am glad about this whole Occupy Wall Street thing. I’m not saying I agree or disagree with what the protestors are espousing, if they are indeed espousing anything other than their discontent with the economy. What I am saying is I’m glad these young people are speaking up and speaking out. I had thought that was thing of the past.

I’m also pleased that, at least so far, they’ve kept it peaceful.

Even John Lennon, the workingman’s hero, sang, “If you’re talkin’ about destruction, you can count me out.”

Some are afraid this movement, if you can call it that this soon, is going to gain traction and upset the apple cart. I’m afraid it’s not.

Young people across America might sympathize with their peers currently sleeping in Zuccotti Park but it all ends the minute they have to punch the ol’ time clock and starting earning that car payment.

he four towns hardest hit by the flood – West Pittston, Duryea, Jenkins Township and Exeter Township – combined have collected over 11,000 tons, that’s 22 million pounds, of debris at a total cost of about $2.5 million.

This is not money that is paid but rather billed. Most of that money will be reimbursed by the federal government.

By far West Pittston picked up the most debris at the highest cost.

Through the end of September the borough had send 5,500 tons to the landfill and had 1,500

tons stockpiled waiting to be hauled to the landfill.

That does not included debris removed in October or debris still on the streets.

The bill for the work and the landfill tipping fees through September was $2.1 million.

West Pittston got a fairly quick jump on removal because heavy equipment such as front loaders and dump trucks were handy due to the sewer project.

Pioneer Construction, using three or four different haulers, removed the debris on an emergency basis.

The borough is now soliciting bids for continued debris pick up.

From reluctant soldier and writer to vet and author WA grad, veteran of two tours in Iraq, authors book of short stories, poems

By Jack Smiles

Associate Editor

Well into adulthood Charles Mazzarella didn’t know anything about the military or about writing. So how is it today he is a veteran of two tours in Iraq and the author of a book of short stories and poems?

During his senior year at Wyoming Area high school – he graduated in 1990 – he aced the ASVAB test (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) and National Guard recruiter came to his house, but Mazzarella wasn’t interested. “I just didn’t think it was for me. My feeling at the time was I had to go to college or go to work.”

He chose college. He went to Lock Haven University. That didn’t work out so he came back home to Wyoming and enrolled in Luzerne County Community College where he was drawn to human services courses. He got an associates degree, volunteered and then was hired to a paid position with Vision, a homelessness resources charity.

He stayed there two and one-half years.

Though he liked Vision, the pay was low. So, urged by his father, he went back to school at the University of Maine Machias campus where he worked on a crisis line and got his bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences.

Back home, he couldn’t find work in his field and worked in retail. He was living in Dimock and feeling adrift when he went to see an Army recruiter.

After several visits to the recruiter, in July of ’03 he signed for active duty as a mental health specialist. He was 31.

At basic training he had his moments of doubt. “Basic training was physically and especially mentally taxing. I’ve got a non-aggressive, non-assertive personality. Believe me, you have to be somewhat assertive to go through basic. If you follow the values of Army you won’t

have a problem, the most important one being respect. I went from somebody who was very reserved to somebody more assertive and it helped me.”

After basic he got more training in mental health. As he had entered the Army with a bachelor’s degree, he could have gone for officer training. “I decided to stay as an enlisted man,” he said.

“It just worked out better. I was able to have more direct contact with your typical solider.”

That’s what he did in his two tours in Iraq in 2003 and 2006 –‘07, talk and listen to soldiers one-on-one who were referred by their commanders because of combat stress.

“I had a lot of interaction with soldiers who went on a lot of missions. Mostly younger, 19 to 25, mostly guys, through I talked to a few women. They were about my rank E-3 or E-4. They were dealing with anger, sleep problems, dealing with stress from home from 8,000 miles away. It was like ‘my sergeant is an idiot. My girl’s talking about leaving. I don’t want to do this anymore.’ I felt bad for them because they were risking their lives everyday. I was sympathetic, but reality based. I had to tell them the reality is we’re here, we can’t go anywhere. You have to do your job.”

Mazzarella loved the work.

“It was a great job. I was working in a masters level program, even though as an E-3 or 4, I was just a specialist. I had free reign, pretty much.”

One of the things that stressed the soldiers was the grind of the routine.

“I call it the Groundhog Day scenario – same day over and over. Sometimes you didn’t know what the hell day it was unless you went to the dining hall and they were serving Salisbury steak so it must be Thursday.”

Mazzarella’s active duty ended in March of ’08 and was in the reserves until December of ‘09.

While it was in Iraq that Maz-

zarella wrote most of his book “The Lion Shares,” the seed for it was planted when he took a short story course at Lock Haven.

“It was easy,” he said. “Read it, write a paragraph and we’ll talk about it. That summer I read from the textbook. There were hundreds of stories from Shirley Jackson to Alice Walker. I got hooked then. I didn’t read as a kid. I’d always been intimidated by novels, but short stories Charles Mazzarella with his book, The Lion Shares PHOTO BY JACK SMILES

The book chronicles Bucky’s transformation from an obscure breaker boy with dirt under his nails to the toast of the 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.

Dispatch Associate Editor Jack Smiles will be signing copies of his latest book – “Bucky Harris, a Biography of Baseball’s Boy Wonder” – this Thursday, October 20, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Hoyt Library on Wyoming Avenue in Kingston.

The book 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.

While Harris is not technically a local native – he was born in Port Jervis, New Jersey, in1896 – 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

St. Mary’s Assumption’s fate: demolition Church, school, convent, rectory purchased by Hadley Construction, Santino Ferretti

adley Construction and Santino Ferretti bought St. Mary’s Assumption Church, school, convent and rectory, on Church and Carroll streets in Pittston, in August from the Scranton Diocese for $75,000. Hadley President Pat Hadley said a decision on what they will do with the convent and school won’t be made until the spring.

But the decision on the fate of the church and rectory, which in later years was used as kindergarten, has already been made – they are coming down.

This week workers carefully removed the faux-wood vinyl siding from the church. It will be reused at Hadley’s ongoing project at the former Blessed Sacrament Church on Rock and Division streets in Hughestown.

Ferretti, of West Wyoming, and Hadley paid $280,000 in December of 2010 for Blessed Sacrament Church and rectory which includes five acres of land.

They are converting the Blessed Sacrament church, which was built in 1941, into high-end apartments. Called Grace Luxury Apartments, the units feature granite counters and stainless steal appliances.

The first of the apartments will be ready to rent in about two weeks, Hadley said.

The project preserves the Lady of Lourdes Grotto which was built by parishioners, many of them miners, with stones from backyards, fields and quarries in the 1940s. The grotto was restored and rededicated on August 13, 1995, as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the parish. The landscaping plans include a huge rose garden around the grotto.

Before St. Mary’s Church was sold, the bell, altar, organ, stained glass and what are known as the sacred furnishing, such as the Stations of the Cross icons, were removed and donated to various parishes and missions.

The art work on the ceiling is still in place and will have to be

removed before demolition. Judy Dotzel of Trinity Artisans – specialists in religious art housed in a former Catholic church in mountaintop – is going to remove the ceiling art. She restored the paintings a decade ago.

The art includes three six-foot diameter circular paintings of the Evangelists and a 20 x 12 foot St. Mary which are original to the church which was built in 1893 and two angels depicting a young parishioner who had died and the granddaughter of a parishioner which were added about 10 years ago.

Dotzel said removing the paintings can be tricky. “I won’t know until I get up their in a bucket and some scaffolding.”

The old St. Mary's rectory, left, fronting on Church Street will be demolished. The school, right, will be remodeled for a different use.

The paintings are on canvases which are pasted to the wall and secured with small nails to prevent the edges from lifting.

Dotzel said she hopes to find a new home for the paintings.

The Assumption church will be the third demolished in the area following St. John the Baptist in Pittston and St. Mark’s in Inkerman.

This building on Carroll Street, once a convent for St. Mary's Assumption nuns, is part of the complex purchased by Hadley and Ferritti.

The grotto at the site of the former Blessed Sacrament Church in Hughestown will be preserved and landscaped with a surrounding garden of roses.

Jenkins Township has sent about 1,300 tons of debris to the landfill with the township’s garbage hauler, United Sanitation, providing dumpsters and the township’s public works department filling them.

The bill in Jenkins is over $150,000 for trucking and hauling dumpsters and about $75,000 in tipping.

“Monday and half of Tuesday we have regular garbage pick up. Then they have other duties, but any other time we have we try to get a crew out everyday.

We’re trying to do our best.”

Exeter Township hired two companies to provide dumpsters and the township road crew used its equipment to fill them. The work went quickly and is nearly complete.

The township did not have a tonnage figure available, but a conservative estimate is 2,000 tons.

None of the affected towns have set a deadline for flood debris pickup.

I’m optimistic.”

As of a week ago Duryea had picked up 992.11 tons and racked up $50,597 in tipping fees.

Duryea was in a unique position among the affected towns as the borough owns three packers and did not have to pay trucking and dumpster costs. Two packers were in service at the time of the flood and the third was serviced and put into action.

Lois Morreale, borough manager, said the borough road crew has been working hard.

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2011

OUR OPINION

End the blame game In our opinion Duryea Mayor Keith Moss is a big, old sweetheart of a Teddy Bear. A nice guy. An old fashioned gentleman. Until a month ago most of the residents of Duryea who elected him to council twice and as mayor three times felt the same way.

Now because he didn’t put his finger in the dike he’s scorned by many of those who happily voted for him five times.

We heard that an editorial we wrote a couple weeks ago where we referred to Pittston mayor Jason Klush, half in jest, as “the country’s handiest mayor” got Moss in even further trouble as some people wondered why he wasn’t like Klush.

Well, nobody’s like Klush. He’s different breed of cat. Young and energetic with an extensive construction background he prefers work sites to meeting rooms. He is anything but a traditional mayor.

It maybe easy for us to say, as nobody here was directly affected by the flood, but we wish people would stop it with the finer-pointing and the blame game.

What is Moss supposed to be a hydrologist, a geologist, a river expert, a dike builder? Is he supposed to be able to predict the future?

The Duryea officials had no way of knowing the river would go above 38 feet that infamous Thurday night. Isn’t that what we all were told?

What happened in Duryea is not the fault of Mayor Moss and the Duryea council.

What happened in West Pittston is not the fault of the latest whipping boy, the greedy rich. And by the way just because someone lives in a big house on Susquehanna Avenue doesn’t mean they are rich.

There is one place to place blame. One place to point fingers: at Mother Nature and her clouds, her storms, her deluge of falling water. There was just too much water and it came too fast.

PAGE 14

Eat for victims Many of us feel useless these days as we don’t know how to help out our fellow citizens who were hit by the flood.

Money always helps.

There is a ziti dinner today beginning at noon in the Wyoming Area high school cafeteria to benefit the flood victims.

Make that your Sunday dinner and feel better aboyut helping out.

YOUR OPINION

Thanks all who helped with Bronze Star ceremony An impressive ceremony took place at the Dupont V.F.W. recently, at which time Mr. Frank Lewicki was presented the Bronze Star and his other WWII medals from U.S. Senator Robert Casey, Senator John Yudichak, Representatives Mike Carroll and Eddie Day Pashinski.

The speakers spoke from their hearts and were very gracious to Mr. Lewicki, his family and all that attended the ceremony. I am proud to say that they are our Pennsylvania Representatives in government.

A big thank you goes out to Teresa Dennis, from Senator Casey’s office in Harrisburg, who helped me tremendously. I also want to thank the entire Dupont V.F.W. Post 4909 Honor

Guard for the beautiful ceremony they conducted.

I will drop names, please. Commander, David L. Burrier; Chaplin, John Philipps; Quartermaster, Eddie Zielinski; Sgt at Arms, Jim Jones and Jerry Guarneri were a great help to me from the first day I mentioned the idea of a presentation.

Thank you also to, Ed Struck (age 95) for the beautiful rendition of the Pledge of Allegiance, the National Anthem and God Bless America.

The entire ceremony was very heartwarming. Again, thank you to all from the bottom of my heart for a very commendable job.

Letter writer against four candidates for county council When going over the list of candidates for our new county council on the ballot this November, voters should be on the lookout for and least 4 red flags. The red flags should be next to the names of Jane Walsh Waitkus, Linda McClosky Houck, Theresa Morcavage, and Salvatore Licata. These four are the remnants of a team of eleven put together by county employee unions to try to highjack our County government by monopolizing control of County Council. Fortunately, voters had the good sense to reject seven members of that group in the primary election.

In November, voters should do the same to these remaining four. Government union panderers have no business controlling

how our tax dollars are spent. Government employee unions already have more than enough advocates and sympathizers in positions of power at all levels of government.

Those elected for County Council should be advocates for taxpayers, period. Only a fox thinks it’s a good idea to put a fox in charge of a courthouse, and the four foxes in the so-called “Working Families for Luzerne County” bunch must be given the boot in November. We taxpayers have been kicked around long enough!

Trick ‘em with ‘Boo Beans’ Halloween is right around the corner.

Decorations are out in the stores for sale and folks are getting in the spirit of the fall holiday season.

Beans are a food that most people try, but don’t incorporate into their weekly food choices. Latino dishes use a lot of beans, but they in this part of Pennsylvania, may not be served on a weekly or biweekly basis.

How often should we be eating beans?

According to USDA Dietary Guidelines, we should be eating a minimum of 1 and 1/2 cup a week for those consuming 1800 calories or more.

There are lots of reasons why we should include them in our weekly foods. First, they are high in fiber, soluble fiber which helps to lower something called insulin resistance and cholesterol. Second, they contain protein, vitamins and minerals.

Just one cup of beans contains 9-13 grams of soluble fiber,14-18 grams of protein without saturated fat or cholesterol, and they are a good source of iron.

They also contain a phytochemical, called saponin, which may help to inhibit the growth of cancer.

This Halloween, play some “tricks” yourself on your goblins to include beans in their foods. Along with adding them to salads, soups, and chilis, try baking with them.

Here are two recipes to get you started. If you want to find more, call Penn State and we will send you the Filling up on Fiber handout.

Trick or Treat Fudge

1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained 1 cup cocoa powder 2/3 cup butter, melted 1 tablespoon vanilla 4 cups powdered sugar 1 cup of chopped walnuts In a blender or food processor puree beans with butter until smooth; transfer to a bowl.

Add cocoa, powdered sugar and vanilla; beat 3 minutes until thoroughly mixed. Stir in nuts.

Spread mixture evenly in a 9 x 13 inch pan. Refrigerate until chilled and firm. Makes 28 2-inch squares Courtesy of Idaho Bean Commission

Guys like Rick Barry should be a perfect target for ‘occupy’ bunch

There was a story in the Times Leader on Friday about a man named Rick Barry and his wife Sue. They established a $1 million scholarship program at Penn State’s Wilkes-Barre campus.

The story noted the couple is one of the leading Penn State philanthropists having given millions to programs at Penn State Wilkes-Barre and the main campus in the past 10 years.

Now, what I don’t understand is why the “occupy” crowd didn’t crawl out of their parents’ basements and occupy Newberry Estates the night the couple announced the scholarship at the school’s scholarship dinner.

He might as well have been in the mob.

Question #1 In 1963, John J. Boylan completed a project that garnered a notoriety which made him feel uncomfortable. What good deed did this Pittston resident do?

Peeking into the past With Judy Minsavage

1953 – 58 Years Ago Michael Healey of Avoca added another year to his tenure as an officer of the Joseph Motiska American Legion Post in Dupont. Healey was installed as commanding officer for the 23rd time since the organization of the post. Michael’s service with veteran’s organizations began in 1921 when he formed the Dupont Soldiers’ Club. In 1929, the club was taken into the American Legion and named after Joseph Motiska. During World War I, Healy, serving with the 79th Division, 58th Brigade carried orders along the front lines of the Western Front in France. Joseph Motiska, a resident of Dupont, is listed in the 1919 U.S. Bulletin as killed in action.

Leaders and Members of Boy Scout Troop #311 wanted to help the Korean people suffering the ravages of war.

They sponsored a clothing drive through which they received bundles of items they intended to send to the war torn country.

However, at $11.40 for every 70 pounds of clothing they found it was financially impossible. Scouts and leaders decided to distribute the articles to local institutions.

Joseph “Shag” Ardoline was selected as best male athlete of the Pittston High School 1949 graduating class.

While serving in the armed forces in Japan and a member of the Signal Service Sports Team, he received a trophy for helping take his baseball team to a second place finish by topping off the season with a .350 batting average.

Ardoline entered the service in 1952.

Prior to joining he was employed by the Pittston Publishing Company.

1963 – 48 Years Ago The West Pittston School Board wanted to provide good wholesome recreation to district students so they offered a youth center every Saturday evening throughout the school year. Ping-pong, games, dancing and a place to socialize were offered to students grades nine through twelve.

Advisory board members were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Starna, Mr. and Mrs. John Coleman, William D. Owens, Elmer Weiskerger, Chester Williams and Marjorie Green.

A $382,000 grant for the Duryea flood control project was on the line in 1963. The Department of Forest and

Waters issued borough council an ultimatum that they start condemnation procedures for properties that stood in the way of the project. Thirty property owners were not satisfied with the price offered by. After the destruction of Hurricane Diane in August 1955, the Duryea Flood Control project initiated construction of a 4,800-foot levee in addition to widening the river channel another 5,000 feet. Federal and state funds were appropriated to complete the project.

Dial Rock Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution celebrated their 67th year with a luncheon. Regent Mrs. Ralph Thomas addressed members stating, “Dial Rock has proudly carried on objectives of the national society to promote historical, patriotic and educational endeavors.”

Mrs. Corey Miller, past regent, displayed the DAR Citizen’s Handbook presented throughout the country to potential citizens.

According to the dar.org website “Since 1921 the DAR has compiled and published the DAR Manual for Citizenship. Over 12 million copies of this book have been given free to immigrants seeking American citizenship.

1973 – 38 Years ago Bringing their record to 5-1the Wyoming Area Warriors Football Team tromped Lake Lehman 44-0. Running backs Craig Pahl, Sam Sakocius and Jackie Langan, offensive linemen Ken Sickler, Bill Miller and Hal Allford and tackles Joe Connors and Don

McGinnis all showed their might while quarterback Rick D’Orio had five completions in six attempts for 121 yards including 49 yard completion to wide receiver Dom Mazzarella.

Avoca resident Mrs. Raymond McDonald Jr. received the American Cancer Society’s Sword trophy for her outstanding leadership as Crusade Chairwoman of the society fund drive.

Mrs. McDonald was successful in surpassing the collection goal for the area.

The sword symbol came from a 1928 nationwide poster contest sponsored by Society and the New York City Cancer Committee.

George E. Durant of Brooklyn won the contest, receiving a first prize of $500. He selected the sword to express the crusading spirit of the movement.

The twin-serpent, which forms the handle, emphasizes the medical and scientific nature of the Society’s work.

The intertwined serpents represent healing of the sick and creativity of the healthy.

She was looking forward to celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary, but the occasion would be colored by the fact she had lost her diamond engagement ring and wedding band while trying on jewelry at a local bazaar.

worked for me.”

The summer after Lock Haven he was working at Boscov’s and during a break he sat down at a word processor that was on sale.

“I decided to write a paragraph and see what happened.”

What happened was the beginning of a story that was the first of 39 he would eventually write for his book, “The Lion Shares.”

The book also includes eight poems.

“The first time in Iraq, I don’t know if I had clarity of mind, but the ideas came into my head and I had to write them down. The second time it was even more prolific. I was writing a story a day. The words just sort of flowed through my head when I was over there.”

The eclectic collection of stories are all fiction though many of them are based on his life and written in the first person, where

Slovak Heritage

The Slovak Heritage Society of NEPA will present Pearls of Wisdom as part of its annual lecture series.

Mazzarella imagines himself as an Amish man, an British subject in India in 1947, a serial killer, an Olympic diver, a federal prisoner, the stateside wife of a soldier in Iraq, an apple, and a Mafia underling, who writes, “I was 15 when I asked my uncle to work in the family business. He was a part-time farmer, part-time truck driver, part-time contract killer.”

Then there is the story based on a real incident with this line: “While smoking on the third floor balcony, I was able to take in the view.”

Not especially compelling, until you learn the balcony is on Saddam Hussein’s palace in Bagdad.

There is no story about lions.

So what’s with the title?

“I always liked lions. When I was in fourth grade I was supposed to play the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz, but my sister and I got the chicken pox.”

“The Lion Shares” is published by Xlibris. Order at www.xlibris.com or amazon.com or call Chuck at 991-2924.

Local salon and spa hosts music video shoot for local recording artist

ing candles and sweeping drapes. Although there was a controlled crowd of people dancing and a DJ mastering the energy, everything added to the perception of beauty as art.

“I think passion was the word of the night,” Morgan said afterwards. “Everyday we make work fun, but that was a night where we were able to participate in the fun.”

As a business owner, Angie is both passionate and direct. “We want to bring versatility and creativity to the local level,” she said. “I thought it was time to touch people’s soul with beauty, but beauty on every level. I wanted to target all audiences by keeping it versatile.”

Versatility is one of the cornerstones to the success of Sapphire’s business. “Sapphire is one-stop shopping for inner and outer beauty,” Angie said. “The biggest excitement for me is that

we affect people from the inside out.”

She very well knows that sense of appreciation. “We try to cus-

tomize services to every client’s needs,” she elaborated. “We try to do the little bells and whistles on our services so our clients feel appreciated.”

Last weekend, Sapphire went beyond bells and whistles to bass and treble. The music-dance setting was a unsurprisingly different atmosphere and sound from the gentle ambience of a regular day at Sapphire, but on Sunday night, they were able to do exactly what they set out to do, be creative and positively energetic.

Sapphire will be using the music video in their upcoming commercial and marketing campaign, and Nicollette will be using the film as her official music video for her recent single.

The event’s food was catered

by Angie’s parents, Angelo and Lena, from Parente’s on North Main Street.

“They are my inspiration,” Morgan gladly admitted.

Dance music reverberated from castle-like walls, and a strobe-light broke the shadows into glimmers as beautiful individuals finished getting their hair and makeup perfected. The dancing had not yet begun, but the music was playing. This was not an ordinary music video shoot, and yet, this is still a far from ordinary day at a Pittston beauty salon and spa.

On Sunday, Oct. 2, Sapphire Salon on South Main Street hosted the official music video shoot for local recording artist Nicollette and her single “Can You Feel It?” However, the video shoot almost wasn’t produced. Flooding caused by Hurricane Irene and then Tropical Storm Lee caused Sapphire to postpone filming twice. But the staff at the salon came in on Sunday excitingly determined and focused. This was what they were waiting for.

Sapphire’s owner, Angie Morgan, is very familiar with untimely inconveniences. In March of 2003, the original Sapphire Salon burned down in a midnight fire, and, in a seemingly destined turn of events, Angie and her husband Larry relocated their business to their current location. “They were looking to turn this into a parking lot, and tear it down,” Angie said.

Their current location used to be the old, historic Pittston Armory, a building that is commonly known in the Greater Pittston area as “the castle.”

After two area disasters, Angie was confident that a music video shoot would be an event that would engage and deliver something rewarding and needed.

“For me, as an owner, it meant a lot. We had so many clients and employees who just needed something positive,” Angie explained.

“In the worst tragedies and situations, I think keeping a positive and strong mind gets you through every day.”

On Sunday, everything was unquestionably positive, and it showed, from the high-energy choreography to the dim, burn-

Fit to Be Tried challenge motivates Greater Pittston YMCA members and staff

By Laura Musto Kapalka

Special to the Dispatch

YMCA fitness instructors are motivating members to take the YMCA Fit to Be Tried Fitness Class Challenge.

Fit to Be Tried starts Monday, October 17, and runs to January 22. The annual event is held each fall at YMCAs throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Greater Pittston YMCA is hosting a Fitness Class Challenge to mark this year’s event.

The challenge calls for members to receive a Fitness Class Challenge card. The cards are hole-punched each time a member takes a fitness class. After every five classes, members are eligible to win prizes donated by local businesses. One member will also win the chance to enter the Northeast Fit to Be Tried Grand Prize Drawing. The top prize is a vacation.

“The goal is to get members out of their comfort zones and try new classes,” said Fitness/ Program Director Kelly McCabe. “Our fitness instruc-

t

Kelly McCabe spinning at the Greater Pittston YMCA

tors are excited about the challenge and are here to help motivate members. Many of them started as members striving to achieve their own fitness goals.”

For Silver Sneakers Instructor Eugene Arcudi – a YMCA

member for 20 years and an avid spin class participant – group exercise has made the difference between walking and a wheelchair.

“I have arthritis. This keeps me mobile and it helps my back,” she said. “I asked my doctor if I should stop exercising and he said not unless I wanted to be in a wheelchair.”

For Water Aerobics Instructor Mary Hoover and Spin Instructor Pete Yuritz joining the YMCA also meant a better quality of life. The duo lost more than 240 pounds combined taking fitness classes at the YMCA. “I joined the YMCA when I realized my health was in jeopardy and I needed to lose weight,” said Hoover. “When I joined, I was quite heavy. I could hardly walk from the parking lot to the pool.”

Hoover started her journey at the YMCA taking water aerobics classes. Now, 183 pounds lighter she is a morning water aerobics instructor at the organization. Yuritz lost 60 pounds and credits spinning for the majority

of the weight loss.

YMCA veteran Aerobics Instructor Joan Tabone said it is the motivation members get from exercising together that make group exercises such as success.

“It is about achieving the best that you can be; not what you see in some picture,” she said. “You need to set goals that you as a person can achieve. The Fitness Class Challenge is a good goal to set.”

With a wide variety of spin, land and water aerobics classes, McCabe assures there is something for everyone at the YMCA. The, Pittston organization offers water aerobics, spin, Zumba, low impact cardio, step aerobics, body sculpting, Pilates, Yoga and Silver Sneakers classes.

And to make classes more affordable, the YMCA is lowering its membership monthly draft

rates starting today, said Executive Director Craig Lukatch.

“We are here for the community,” he said. “We want everyone to be able to experience and enjoy our facility.”

The Fitness Class Challenge is free to members. Members are also encouraged to bring a friend to the YMCA from October17 to October 23 free of charge.

“I have been at the YMCA 25 years because I love the organization,” said Tabone. “It is the humbleness of the Y that helps people come together. We are family here.”

Budget calls for pay raises but no tax increase The first of three reading of the Dupont Borough 2012 budget was presented at the October council meeting with no anticipated tax increase for next year.

Projected costs for refuse is $75 for senior citizens, $105 for residential families and $150 for commercial.

The budget includes a 4% salary increase across the board for police, office employees and the Dept. of Public Works employees including an increase in salary for council members, the tax collector and mayor. The tentative budget increases for council salary to $1200 per year; mayor and council president to $1800 and the tax collector to $2500.

Mayor Daniel Lello presented a proclamation to Avoca EMS members Robert Evans and Kenneth Shotwell. Mayor Lello honored these two individuals for the valor in helping Dupont Sgt. Saraunk in a volatile dilemma in September.

Council members discussed at length the request for adding a police dog to Dupont Police Force. Insurance costs to the borough would be approximately $450 per year for the dog with Sgt Saranuk offering to cover all other costs: vet care, food and additional training. The matter was tabled for further review.

Updates were given on construction projects by Council President Stan Knick. The paving of Rte. 315 north and south

by PennDOT is completed. Kriger Construction has begun the handicap sidewalks on Lackawanna and Chestnut streets and the Leeward Construction project by the Heidleberg breaker is also underway. Both projects will continue in the borough throughout the rest of the year so residents will still need to be aware of delays and detours.

Borough Manager Patty McDonald noted that the November 8 council meeting date has been changed because the municipal building will be used for voting for the general election. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 15. The second reading of the 2012 budget will top the agenda.

Warriors ‘D’ a royal pain for Redeemer Wyoming Area harasses Royals in 44-12 beatdown

By Matt Page

Dispatch Correspondent

The first Holy Redeemer series set the stage for what was to come.

The Royals threw an incomplete pass, followed by a run for minus-three yards before being sacked by Wyoming Area;s Nick Bartoli to force a fourthand-18 from their two-yard line. So when the snap to the punter sailed out of bounds for a safety, you could tell it was just going to be one of those nights for the Wyoming Valley Conference’s best defense.

The Wyoming Area defensive line spent most of its night in the Holy Redeemer backfield, harassing the Royals into seven sacks, five turnover-ondowns and just 92 yards of offense en route to a 44-12 victory on Friday night at Jake Sobieski Stadium in West Pittston.

"We wanted to attack with some with aggressive pressure, the key to that is getting containment," said coach Randy Spencer. "I thought we got a nice job from our ends Trent Grove, Joe Taylor, Corey Popovich" After the safety and the quick 2-0 lead, it took all of two plays before Nick O’Brien took the QB keeper and went 36 yards unscathed for the touchdown at the 9:29 mark of the first quarter.

After the defense forced a turnover-on-downs, the Royals defenders saw a lot of the Warriors’ powerback, Jeff Skursky.

He took his first carry for 16 and his second for 14 down to the Holy Redeemer 40. O’Brien took the QB keeper and hurdled a defender before being dragged down after a 20-yard gain. Finally, Skursky finished off the four-play, 56-second drive with a bruising 20-yard TD run up the middle. He also, punched in the two-point con-

version giving WA a 16-0 lead.

Justin Langdon came up with an interception at the Holy Redeemer 37-yard line but on the Warriors second play, O’Brien overthrew his wide receiver and the ball was picked off and returned 80-yards for a touchdown cutting the WA lead to 16-6 with 2:18 left in the first quarter.

Things seemed like they were going sour after the ball was fumbled on the ensuing kick return and the Royals jumped on it at the 47-yard line.

However, the Warrior defense picked up where they left off, forcing a turnover-ondowns after a Ryan Filipiak and Popovich sack.

With the ball at the Holy Redeemer 35, it was back to the big man in the back field as Skursky went for 13 then 15 to set-up the ball on the Royals’ 7yard line. Skursky took the handoff and trampled the Holy Redeemer defenders for his second score of the game, pushing the lead to 23-6 Wyoming Area with 32-seconds left in the first quarter.

Holy Redeemers next drive went for minus-11 yards after a Popovich sack and then a Taylor sack to force the turnoveron-downs, giving the Warriors the ball at the Royals’ 39.

After a five-yard penalty on HR, Skursky went for eight and O’Brien hit Grove for eight down to the 18-yard line. Then, O’Brien faked the handoff and rolled to his right, out ran the pursuing defenders to cross the goalline for the second time giving Wyoming Area a 30-6 lead.

After making a play on offense, O’Brien stepped up on defense when he intercepted the pass from the HR quarterback and returned it nine-yards to the 49 of the Royals.

Greater Pittston trio has Royals streaking Phillips, Knaub, Eaton part of 86 straight victories

The goal in sports is to finish your season with more wins than losses.

The Holy Redeemer girls’ volleyball team never seems to have a problem accomplishing that goal.

The Royals won their 86th consecutive Wyoming Valley Conference match in a win over Pittston Area on Thursday, and ironically enough, they were aided in that victory – and in many past victories – by a three players who hail from the Greater Pittston community.

Seniors Nicole Phillips and Liz Knaub, and junior Biz Eaton all reside in Greater Pittston.

And according to their coach, Holy Redeemer’s recent success wouldn’t have been possible without them.

“They are all different,” Holy Redeemer Head Coach John Kablick said of the three Royals with local ties. “Liz is a strict defensive specialist, so her passing is very good, Biz is our setters, so her hands are very good, her court sense is very good and her forearms are very good. Nicole Phillips is a middle hitter and our best blocker.”

Phillips resides in Yatesville and has played a major role for the Royals volleyball program for the past three seasons.

Coach Kablick calls Phillips his best blocker and a solid middle hitter. At 5’10, Phillips has six blocks so far this season.

She is just one shy of her career high of seven blocks in her junior year. She is more than just a blocker. She is also an important hitter. She has 18 kills

Both Pittston Area and Wyoming Area each had one of its doubles teams advance to the second round of Tuesday’s District 2 Doubles Tournament at Kirby Park in Kingston.

Anna Podrasky and Miranda Warunek reached the second round of the D2 Class 3A Tournament for the Lady Patriots with an opening round victory over Scranton’s Victoria Henning and Maddy Fisch. Podrasky-Warunek advanced with a three-set win, 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-1.

The duo then lost in the second round to fourth-seeded Maggie Manchester and Trisha Synoracki of Williamsport, 6-4, 6-0.

Emily Lukasavage and Valerie Bott reached the second round of the D2 Class 2A Tournament for the Lady Warriors with a

straight-set, 6-4, 6-2, win over Tunkhannock’s Marlena Chesner and Becky Mills in the opening round. Lukasavage-Bott lost in three sets in the second round with a 2-6, 6-0, 6-2 defeat at the hands of seventh-seeded Allison Muth and Emily Suchocki of Holy Redeemer.

Suchocki is a resident of Wyoming. Her team lost in the quarterfinals to second-seeded Grace Reilly and Emily Walsh of Scranton Prep, 6-1, 6-1.

Pittston Area’s team of Ali Quinn and Alicia Chopyak also participated in the D2 Class 3A tourney, losing to Berwick’s Brooke Wharton and Shea Volkel in the first round, 6-4, 6-0.

Patriot duo has PA on brink of playoffs Colella, Consagra are 1-2 in WVC scoring goals and 10 assists on the season.

Those staggering team numbers for the Patriots have catapulted them near the top of the Division II standings, trailing just Lake-Lehman (10-3). In the race for the three seeds in the District 2 Class 3A tournament, the Patriots are behind Crestwood (8-2), Coughlin (8-3) and Wyoming Valley West (8-3) this afternoon. Tunkhannock (9-6), also 3A, would be the No. 4 seed if the playoffs started today and would have to win a play-in game against a Lackawanna League team.

“We’re doing phenomenal. I can’t complain,” Consagra added. “Actions speak louder than words and we’re playing up to our standards right now. We’re going to try to give it all we got.”

The Tigers were shutout for just the second time this season.

Senior Ryan Karnopp, who has 60 points this season (27 goals, 6 assists) was held scoreless by a stifling Patriots defense despite taking four of Tunkhannock’s nine shots.

Not many teams in the Wyoming Valley Conference can throw a powerful one-two punch at its opponents.

Pittston Area is one team that can.

That was proven again Monday, as the Patriots knocked off Tunkhannock, 4-0, - getting two goals and an assist from Jordan Consagra, and a goal and an assist from Pietro Colella.

The duo has combined for 122 points, with Consagra’s 62 and Colella’s 60 ranking first and second in the conference.

“We have a beautiful connection,” Consagra said about his relationship with Colella on the field. “We read each other. He knows what I’m thinking. I know what he’s thinking. He’s feeding me the ball. I’m feeding him the ball. We’re all doing great out there.”

Consagra, who has 27 goals and eight assists this season, got the scoring started for the Patriots, who are 9-4-1 in the WVC’s Division II. Consagra took a pass from Ian Tracy and beat Tunkhannock keeper Zac Daniels just 30 seconds into the match for a quick 1-0 lead.

Getting a fast start is something Pittston Area has started doing recently and did the same thing last week against Dallas.

“I think we have speed that you’re not expecting up front,” Pittston Area coach Pat O’Boyle said. “Piet and Jordan, those kids can fly so we seem to be getting one of those early and a little bit of momentum, and just kind of building off of it.”

Consagra, a sophomore, received a pass from Colella to give his team a 2-0 lead late in the first half. Consagra dished a pass to Matt Tavaglione, who found the back of the net about a minute later for a 3-0 lead heading into halftime.

Colella, a senior, put the finishing touches on the victory with a tally in the second half assisted by Chris Musto. Colella ended the afternoon with 25

Pittston Area rallied with four unanswered goals – one in the final 30 seconds of regulation to tie Wyoming Seminary, 4-4, in double overtime in a WVC Division 2 match on Wednesday afternoon in Kingston.

Trailing 4-0 after the first 25 minutes of play, John Kielbasa began the Patriots comeback with a goal at the 3:21 mark of the first half to get PA within 4-1 on an assist from Pietro Colella.

Tom Allardyce cut the deficit in half with a goal on an Ian Tracy assist at the 20:46 mark of the second half, and a minute later, Tracy scored on an assist from Colella to get Pittston Area within 4-3.

Jaret Monteforte then provided the dramatics, capping the comeback with a goal on a Jordan Consagra assist with 27 seconds left in regulation.

Patriots grounded by Parsnik, Coughlin Pittston Area allows Crusaders back to rush for 297 in 27-14 loss

PAGE 53

After last week’s overtime loss, Pittston Area was looking for something to ease the pain and get back on the right track. Instead they got a dose of Coughlin running back Joe Parsnik.

The senior halfback did everything but make the Patriots feel good as he had a magnificent game from the Coughlin backfield.

Before the night was done, he racked up 297 yards and three touchdowns leading his Crusaders to a 27-14 victory over the Patriots at Charley Trippi Stadium on Friday night.

Parsnick heated up right from the get go as he scored the Crusaders first touchdown of the game. On second-and-3 from the Coughlin 28, Parsnik busted his way through the line of scrimmage and bulldozed Patriot defenders in route to a 72yard touchdown. Coughlin added the extra point and led 7-0 with 2:53 remaining in the opening quarter.

Parsnik wasn’t the only threat in the Coughlin backfield on Friday night. Junior Nick Evans made his presence felt with 10:17 remaining in the first half when he maneuvered his way past the line of scrimmage and dove into the end zone for a oneyard touchdown rush. The Crusaders again added the extra point and led 14-0.

Things wouldn’t get any better for the Patriots as quarterback Anthony Schwab ran into some bad luck late in the first half. On second down with a long14 yards to go, the Patriots elected to go to the air. Schwab hit Joe Starinsky in stride with a perfect spiral but the ball went through Starinsky’s hands and found none other than Parsnik for an interception at the Coughlin 27-yard line.

Rather than just go down and make sure he didn’t fumble, Parsnik saw the light at the end of the tunnel. Parsnick returned the INT 7-3 yards for yet another Coughlin touchdown as the Crusaders took a 21-0 lead close to intermission.

The Patriots showed some offensive life when they took the ball over after the score.

Pittston Area drove all the way down to the Coughlin 34-yard line after Schwab found tight end Brian Delaney for a16-yard reception and a Patriots first down. However, with 29.7 seconds remaining until the half, Schwab’s pass was intercepted by Coughlin senior defensive back Frank Mahmoud.

Coughlin was unable to score given the long field and the short amount of time and headed into the locker room with a 21-0 lead.

Parsnik picked up right where he left off

by finding the end zone for the third time with 6:18 remaining in the third quarter. The touchdown was another lengthy rush as he traveled 39 yards, weaving his way in and out of Patriot defenders and into the end zone. The Crusaders failed to complete the extra point, but they still led 27-0 with time running out for the Patriots.

The Patriots finally found some offensive life late in the third quarter. Schwab completed four straight passes to a combination which included Jordan Houseman, Evan Hahn and Marc Romanczuk. The Patriots drive eventually ended in a punt, but it gave the Patriots some offensive momentum for the first time in the ball game.

The also gained some momentum when Starinsky made a brilliant defensive play early in the fourth quarter, coming up with a key interception to set up the Patriots in great field position.

On first-and-10 from the 36-yard line Schwab found Hahn for a 21-yard reception. The play looked as if it was only going to go for about14 yards, but Hahn refused to be taken down as he went for seven yards after the catch.

Later in the drive, Schwab found his star receiver Houseman for a 12-yard touchdown reception. Chris Musto drilled the extra point, but the Patriots still trailed 27-7 with just 7:42 remaining in regulation.

Coughlin continued to keep the ball on the ground and kill the clock. With a big lead in the game and faced with a fourthand-10, the Crusaders still elected to go for the first down. They went to air and to the end zone, but it didn’t end well for Coughlin as Patriots senior cornerback Mike Stankoski intercepted the pass in the end zone went105 yards down the far sideline for one of the longest touchdown plays in Pittston Area history.

The Patriots were called for unsportsmanlike conduct, which meant Musto would have to split the uprights from 35 yards in order to get the seven points for the touchdown. The long extra point was no problem for Musto as he kicked it right down the center with plenty of distance.

However, it was too little, too late for the Patriots as they dropped the contest by a score of 27-14.

Schwab completed 12 of his passes for 124 yards, while Romanczuk led the ground attack as he went for 70 yards on 10 carries.

Hahn was the leading receiver for the Patriots as he caught four passes for 36 yards.

The schedule remains tough, as the Patriots will take the long bus ride to Crispin Field in Berwick to take on the Bulldogs who have won four straight this Friday night.

Blue Devils roar past LT

VA R S I T Y F O O T B A L L

OF beats Lions , 37-6

By Rick Notari

Dispatch Staff

On a night that Old Forge honored a team of champions from the past, the current Blue Devils team played like a team that is ready to be champions of the present.

In front of players and coaches from the 1961 Eastern Conference Championship team on Homecoming Weekend in Old Forge, the Big Blue Wrecking Crew dominated every facet of the game in a 37-6 shellacking of Lackawanna Trail in an important Lackawanna Football Conference Division III game at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Friday night.

The Blue Devils defense set the tone early, forcing a threeand-out series to open the game as defensive end Cory Stuart and linebacker Jorden Sekol made big stops as Old Forge swarmed to the Lions bruising rushing combination of Marvess Rosiak and Eric Laytos.

“We said just swarm the ball, put hats on the ball,” said Old Forge Head Coach Mike Schuback. “We wanted five hats on the ball every time they ran it.

Their offense feeds off Eric (Laytos). If you let him run the ball in their offense you are in trouble. But if you swarm him and get him on the ground, you’ll have an easier time.”

Old Forge (5-2 overall, 2-0 LFC) gave the ball right back after a three-and-out, but Sekol came up with two more stops on the ensuing Trail possession and the Lions were forced to punt again.

From there the Blue Devils offense went into high gear.

Colin Carey capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive with a 35-yard touchdown run down the visitors sideline one play after Dave Argust turned a high snap on a punt formation into an 11-yard gain to give Old Forge a first

down. Matt Mancuso drilled the first of five extra-points on the night and the Blue Devils led 7-0 with 2:39 left in the first quarter.

The defense held Trail (5-2 overall, 0-2 LFC) again to just three downs and punt, but Carey fumbled the ball on Old Forge’s next play while trying to avoid pressure from the Lions. On the next play, Rosiak went 48 yards on an inside reverse to get the pre-season favorites within 7-6 when the extra point snap was botched.

The Blue Devils again went on a methodical drive, reeling off 12 plays to go 76 yards before Carey found paydirt with 6:53 left in the quarter for the 14-6 lead.

The drive was fueled by the running of senior Lou Febbo and junior Brian Tomasetti. Febbo carried four times for 22 yards and caught the only pass attempt of the drive – slipping into the flats for a 16-yard gain – and Tomasetti ran four times for 15 yards. The duo combined to rush for 163 yards on 25 carries with Febbo going over the 100yard mark with 111 yards. All told, Old Forge rushed for a season-high 415 yards on the night – a credit to its quickly developing line of Joey Bruno, Paul Papi, Tyler Clark, Anthony Trotta and Ryan Paulish.

“It’s funny. They all went to dinner last night, all the lineman, and it was something neat because they are really gelling together,” said Schuback. “They are taking a sense of pride in what they are doing and they are enjoying it. No one knows their names except us and they are just getting it done.”

The Blue Devils defense continued to get it done, stopping the Lions on three plays after Rosiak and Laytos combined for 12 yards to pick up Trail’s first, first down of the game. Then on third-and-7, Carey electrified See ROAR, Page 59

Sometimes bad memories are hard to get rid of and the best we could hope for is to have learned something from them. Take for example a bad experience of falling out of a tree stand during a deer hunt. That would probably be forever imbedded deep into the pages of your memory and take it from personal experience, it is. There are several things that remind me about my tree stand hunting accident from a few years ago. I think about it every time I walk by a rickety old wooden tree stand. My incident took place when my daughter Kristen and I were hunting out of a well maintained wooden tree stand. I leaned on a board that wasn’t designed to take the weight and the next thing I know I was in the ambulance wearing a neck brace and an air splint on my arm.

I also think about that day every time I look at the six inch scar on my forearm. Hidden underneath the skin is a two inch by six inch steel plate holding the two bones together in my arm. I can now forecast the weather on any given day by the aching associated with a storm front. There is one thing for certain. I have learned a lot from that experience and this week was a true test.

Armed with my bow and arrow, I headed into the field for a deer hunt. My climbing tree stand was strapped to my back with my supply bag hanging from it. I was heading to an area that my previous scouting trips convinced me I should hunt. Once at my location I started strapping my tree stand to the tree, tied my pack and bow to a hoist rope and prepared my-

OUTDOORS WITH JAKE

self for a climb. That’s when it hit me, I had my first fifties moment of the season. After all the planning and carrying I realized I had forgotten my tree stand safety body harness.

Years ago I might have tried to jimmy rig a strap from a piece of rope and the belt from my pants. I might have even climbed up without one at all. But the older much wiser Don Jacobs declared those notions to be stupid and unsafe. I simply took everything off the tree, hid it under some brush and hunted from the ground instead. They say that experience is the best teacher but I hope that anyone reading this will learn from my mistakes of the past and practice safety and common sense first. It is more important to return home safe and sound rather than playing Russian roulette with your life.

The early deer hunting seasons are now in full swing. There are four weeks left to the archery season. Yesterday started a weeklong antlerless deer muzzleload-

er season and this Thursday is the start of a three day antlerless season for youth and senior hunters.

I for one will be spending a lot of time in a tree stand over the next few weeks in hopes of filling an antlerless deer tag or harvesting a trophy buck. I have collected a few safety tips to follow if you plan on hunting out of a tree this season.

The first tip I can offer from personal experience is to check out everything screwed too and attached to your tree stand. Be sure that all straps are in strong working order and the welds holding the stand together are sturdy and without cracks. Here are a few safety tips for bowhunters and tree stand climbers provided by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Make sure someone knows where you’re hunting and when you expect to return home. Leave a note or topographic map with your family or a friend. Pack a cellular telephone for emergencies.

Always use a fall-restraint device - preferably a full-body harness - when hunting from a treestand. Wear the device from the moment you leave the ground until you return. Don’t climb dead, wet or icy trees. Stay on the ground on blustery days.

Get in good physical condition before the season starts. Fatigue can impact judgment, coordination and reaction time, as well as accuracy. Staying physically fit makes a difference.

Always carry a whistle to signal passersby in the event you become immobile. A compass and matches or lighter and tinder also are essential survival gear items to have along. An extra flashlight bulb also can be helpful.

Use a hoist rope to lift your bow and backpack to your treestand. Trying to climb with either will place you at unnecessary risk.

Don’t sleep in a tree-stand! If you can’t stay awake, return to the ground.

Always carry broadhead-

tipped arrows in a protective quiver.

If you use a mechanical release, always keep your index finger away from the trigger when drawing.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for all equipment and check your equipment before each use.

Practice climbing with your tree-stand before dawn on the opening day of the season. Consider placing non-slip material on the deck of your tree-stand if it’s not already there.

Safety is also a concern on the ground. Remember that hunters must wear a minimum of 250 square inches of fluorescent orange while small game hunting.

This is also true for deer hunters during this week of the early muzzleloader season and youth/ senior antlerless season. Many sportsmen will be out and about since there are plenty of other things to hunt for this week. The woodcock, duck, grouse and squirrel seasons are all open now.

The general small game season including rabbits and pheasants open next Saturday, October 22.

The fall turkey season begins one week later on Saturday, October 29. It’s all happening now. I wish you a memorable and productive hunt and by all means don’t forget safety.

Be sure to watch Pennsylvania Outdoor Life tonight at 6:30 on WNEP-TV. We’ll take you to a youth pheasant hunt held right here in our area and we’ll update you on the statewide pheasant restoration program underway in parts of the state. Have a great day!

OF 2, Riverside 0

For 20 minutes Old Forge went toe-to-toe with the defending LSL Division 3 champs. But in the end, Lakeland had too much firepower as the Blue Devils fell, 8-2, on Senior Parents Night on Tuesday at Old Forge Veterans Memorial Stadium.

The Blue Devils took a 1-0 lead when Bobby Cipollina threaded the needle with a blast through traffic and past Lakeland goalie Scott Cortes on a touch from J Argonish from about 15 yards away at the 17:18 mark. Old Forge had a chance to go ahead by two goals, but Cortes was able to stop an Argonish shot from the top right corner of the box less than a minute later.

The Chiefs answered the Old Forge flurry with three goals in less than seven minutes, beginning with a goal by James Blevins at the 20:48 mark of the first half.

Down 3-1, Argonish had a chance to get the Blue Devils within a goal right before halftime but was denied on a penalty kick by Cortes. Thirty seconds later, Lakeland scored to go ahead 4-1 with less than a minute remaining before intermission.

Argonish finally found the back of the next with 18 minutes left in the game on a blast from 20 yards out on the left side of the pitch, depositing the ball into the right corner past Cortes to get Old Forge within 5-2.

But Lakeland finished strong with three goals between the 62nd and 69th minutes to finish the game off.

Corey Washington made some strong saves in goal for the Blue Devils, stopping 11 shots while being peppered by the high-powered Lakeland offense.

After a Popovich six-yard carry, he got the ball again and burst through the line for 14yards before slipping while trying to make a cut. Two plays later, Popovich got the ball again and once again burst into the Royals’ secondary, this time he used the stiffarm to help him gain 22-yards to the HR five. Two plays later, O’Brien rolled right and lofted an easy pass to a wide-open Grove in the back of the endzone for a 37-6 lead with 31 seconds left in the half.

After the Warriors recovered the Royals onside kick to start the half, they drove to the 29yard line before stalling, giving HR the ball at their own 23yard line.

Two plays later, Dylan Pegg came up with the Warriors third interception of the night, but the Warriors offense stalled again as the rain poured down.

The snap sailed over O’Brien’s head on the punt attempt and Holy Redeemer recovered it at the Warrior 18-yard line.

However, the defense helped pick up the offensive miscue when after an incomplete pass, Popovich came up with a sack and then stopped the screen pass for minus-seven forcing a fourth-and-25. The defensive front put pressure on the Royals quarterback forcing an inten-

tional grounding call and yet another turnover-on-downs.

Ahmad Bouie took the first play of the drive for six, before O’Brien ripped off a 15-yard carry which could have been much more if he didn’t trip over one of his own players. Regardless, the next play went 30yards for a touchdown via the legs of Nick O’Brien pushing the lead to 44-6 with 4:07 left in the third quarter.

With 41 seconds left in the third quarter, the WA defense gave up their first points on a blown coverage allowing the Royals to cut the lead to 44-12.

Jordan Zezza came up with a big interception in the endzone with eight minutes left, giving the Warriors the ball and allowing them to kill most of the clock.

"We feel pretty good about our match ups upfront and we wanted to let them to do some work tonight," said Spencer.

"Skursky’s a young back, combined with the effort of our line, fullback and tight end, they did a great job running the ball" The Warriors will face GAR on Saturday night at WilkesBarre Memorial Stadium in a showdown for not only first place in the Wyoming Valley Conference Class 2A/A standings, but also in the race for the top seed in the District 2 Class 2A playoffs.

the crowd.

Stepping up in the pocket to survey the field at about his own 25-yard line, the senior signal caller took off up the middle of the field and picked up the first down. But Carey wasn’t done.

After getting by the first wave of defenders to the Old Forge 40, the first-year starter turned on his jets and went the distance, sprinting between Trail defenders all the way to the endzone for the 76-yard touchdown and a 21-6 lead with 2:46 left before intermission. Carey – who was also named Homecoming King at halftime - finished the night with 144 yards rushing on 11 carries, and also threw for 114 yards.

“I saw Colin run the other night in practice and no one was near him,” said Schuback who won his 73rd game in his 10th year of coaching his alma mater.

“I think he’s actually faster than Malkolm (Blackshear). He’s the fastest kid I have coached.

“But more than that, I’m proud of him. He’s a senior and he’s paid his dues. As a quarterback it is tough to sit and wait your turn, but he is a kid with great character and patience, and its paying off for him right now. We are doing well because of his patience. It shows the rest of the team the rewards you can reap as a senior.”

just has to do with your hands and you’re positioning of setting.”

So far in 2011, Eaton has a whopping 220 assists as the team’s primary setter and 29 digs. Perhaps all of the assists are due to the chemistry she has developed with her teammates.

“I love it when Biz sets me,” Phillips said. “She is such an awesome setter and we have great chemistry on the court.”

All the action starts with Liz Knaub of West Wyoming. She is the team’s defensive specialist, meaning she is responsible for making a good first pass.

“It’s always rewarding when you get a really good pass, because everything starts with a pass,” Knaub said. “If you don’t have a good pass, you can’t run any plays.”

The closest the Royals came to dropping a match came against Delaware Valley. It was the only match this season which went more than the minimum of three games.

“We had a very close match with Delaware Valley that went four games,”

Another senior got in on the act when Argust intercepted Zach Goodrich’s third-down pass on the ensuing possession to set up Old Forge at their own 39. After a five-yard penalty on the Blue Devils for illegal procedure, Carey hit Argust in stride for a 66-yard scoring strike, and a 28-6 lead with 1:46 left in the second quarter.

“We ran a deep post to Dave, and another deep post on the back side to Elijah,” said Schuback of the call. “They jumped the wheel route by Vieira and it left Dave open. He’s another great player and was waiting to break out. We can’t win without Dave on the field. He’s a helluva an athlete. He told us to run him on the post and we hit it.”

Old Forge had one more shot to add to its lead in the first half when Sekol recovered a fumble at the Trail 25, but a holding penalty nullified a 25-yard touchdown run by Febbo, and the Lions held the Blue Devils to go into the locker room down 28-6.

The Blue Devils opened the second half with a six-play drive to the Lions 10-yard line on a 17yard run by Febbo, and a 35yard scamper by Tomasetti. But a fumble on second down gave the ball to Trail at its own 10.

Three plays later the Lions were forced to punt, and after a high snap allowed the Old Forge

Kablick said. “That was the only game we lost all season. In games played, we are 46-1 this year.”

Having three players with such great chemistry is a real strength for the Royals and as long as the three are on the same page, Holy Redeemer will be a tough team to beat.

“There have been many times when Liz would give a great first pass to Biz and then Biz will set Phillips and she will get the kill,” Kablick said. “I think three hours a day in the gym really helps them to develop some great chemistry.”

PA 0, Holy Redeemer 3

Pittston Area played the next victim to WVC powerhouse Holy Redeemer on Thursday afternoon, falling 3-0, as the Royals won their 86 straight WVC match at the Thomas R. Kelly Gymnasium in Yatesville.

defense to jailbreak into the endzone, Trail punter Pete Murazzi stepped on the line in the back of the endzone for a safety before Jake Manetti blocked the kick.

The safety was the only score of the third quarter, and the Blue Devils led 30-6 heading into the final stanza.

On their final possession of the game, Old Forge scored again as Febbo busted through the right side of the line and sprinted 42 yards down the home sideline and into the endzone for the final touchdown.

“We practiced really hard this week and my biggest fear was that we left it on the practice field because we went really hard and got after each other on Wednesday. Physically and mentally. We had a really hyped up practice,” said Schuback.

“We didn’t get an ounce of respect all year. The only way to get respect is to win. We had to beat them. They were state ranked last week. We want to be state ranked. That’s where we want our program to be. The kids put the time in. The coaches put the time in. We think we deserve it. But the only way to do that is to win.”

Wyoming Area gave its best effort of the season, but it was still not enough against once-beaten Lake-Lehman as the Lady Warriors dropped a 3-1 decision to the Lady Knights in a WVC Division 3 Volleyball match on Monday afternoon in the Back Mountain.

The young Wyoming Area squad gave Lehman all it could handle, winning the second game 25-21 to knot the match up at 1-1. But the Lady Warriors couldn’t get past the Lady Knights in the third game, losing a tight one, 25-23. Lehman then walked away in the fourth game with a 25-13 victory.

Kate Kross led the Lady Warriors with eight kills and six service points to go with three digs.

Gabby Bohan added seven kills for WA, and Audrey Hiedacavage registered 22 assists and 10 service points.

so far this season and had 39 as a junior.

In addition to her blocks and kills, she also has two digs this season.

“I like hitting and blocking the best,” Phillips said. “My favorite memory is when we had game point against Crestwood last year and I won the game with a kill. It was so exciting.”

Phillips wouldn’t have 18 kills this season if it were not for her junior setter Biz Eaton of West Wyoming. This year marks the second year as a member of the Royals for Eaton. Prior to attending Holy Redeemer, she was a student at Wyoming Area. Since coming to Holy Redeemer, Eaton has made a huge impact as setter. Last season she had 16 assists and seven digs. However, one year can make a huge difference and it did for Eaton.

“Setting is a lot of work,” Eaton said.

“It’s especially a lot of running. It really

The World War II Marine Corps veteran was recognized by the corps for his fine handwriting and printing skills.

He, therefore, was the perfect candidate to meticulously print the names “as sharp as a printing press” of former police department members on photos lining the walls of the station.

be remembered by his friends as a person who possessed a truly genuine spirit, a heart of gold and as someone who deeply valued his close relationships.

Michael had an incredible voice and performed in many local rock bands. He was committed to using the gift of his voice to serve others and did so by singing for numerous fundraisers.

Michael’s generosity will, quite literally, live on in the lives of others. He was fiercely committed to organ donation, and following his death, he “gave” of himself by donating his organs to The Gift of Life Foundation.

His life may have been short-lived, but Michael lived robustly and fully. His life will be a source of steady inspiration to those who knew and loved him.

In addition to his parents, his brother, Fred McClernon, preceded him in death.

Michael J. McClernon, 39, of West Pittston, passed away Wednesday, September 28, 2011, at Hahnemann University Hospital, Philadelphia.

Born in Monticello, NY, May 2, 1972, he was a son of the late Fredrick and Helen (McCloskey) McClernon.

Mike was a 1991 graduate of Pittston Area High School, and he was employed at the Tobyhanna Army Depot.

Mike was a Golden Glove boxer and was trained by his very good friend “Irish Gene Reed.” He loved the Washington Redskins, Notre Dame Football and the New York Yankees.

The condition of Michael’s heart may have been the source of his passing, but despite its weakness, his “heart” was a vast and expansive terrain within which he loved deeply and connected with others in profound ways. At the core of his heart was his family, especially his beloved wife, Gena, and their dog, Britney. He fondly referred to them as “his two favorite girls.”

Gena and Michael shared a rare, special and beautiful bond. They were together for nine years and just married in November of 2010. Words cannot convey the depth with which Gena will miss her husband.

Michael was blessed to forge and sustain many close friendships. Memories of his smile will live on, and he will

In praise of pink

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Charney

M

50th anniversary

r. and Mrs. Robert Charney of Pittston celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on October 14. They were married in St. Rocco’s Church, Pittston, by the late Rev. Father Julio Serra, O.S.J. Mrs. Charney is the former Mary Loquasto, daughter of the late Modesto and Adele Loquasto, Pittston. She is retired from K-Mart Corporation. Mr. Charney is the son of the late John and Anna Charney, West Wyoming. He is retired from American General Insurance and is currently employed by Geisinger Health Systems.

The couple has been blessed with two daughters, Adele and husband John Leonard, Valrico, Florida; and Susan and husband Jerry, Wilkes-Barre. They have one granddaughter, Emily Leonard. The couple shared a celebratory dinner with their family and friends at Irem Country Club, hosted by their children.

Halloween used to proudly wear the mantle as the premium October sweet spot. Within the last decade, however, it has been replaced by something more momentous and vital; October is now best known as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

You cannot swing a pink Slinky without hitting an item in this hue in honor of raising breast cancer awareness. There are pink nail polish, toasters, lipstick, stamps, yogurt, blenders…even toenail clippers! The list of products adorned with the ubiquitous pink ribbon is endless.

The genesis of the army of pink ribbons for the cause began in 1991 when the Susan G. Koman Foundation distributed them at a race for breast cancer survivors.

In the years since, there is not another cause that is so closely associated with a color. The Associated Press recently reported that there may be an over-saturation of pink-ribboned tie-ins these days, perhaps causing confusion and disinterest in the cause.

With that said, many believe that there is no such thing as negative publicity for a disease that accounts for over 42,000 deaths a year.

That means if it takes you 13 minutes to read this newspaper, one woman has died from breast cancer.

There is an enormous level of support and a high level of fundraising efforts to benefit the search for a cure for breast can-

cer in Greater Pittston. But none may be as touching as the recent Breast Cancer Awareness Fundraiser sponsored by the Pittston Area Martin L. Mattei Middle School.

Kevin Booth, assistant principal, has spearheaded this campaign two years in a row in order to benefit the Susan G. Koman Foundation, both at the student level and the community level.

Realizing that the seeds of philanthropy and empathy should be planted at a young age, Booth decided the students should participate in a unique fundraising effort this year: to design a Tshirt, complete with a powerful slogan, for the purpose of elevating awareness and compassion of this cause.

“Last year, I thought of the slogan myself, which was ‘I Pink I Can, I Pink I Can’ to be displayed on the T-shirt,” Booth said. “We raised close to $500.00

by selling those shirts. This year, I wanted the students to have a larger input, so we came-up with the idea for them to create everything – design to slogan. We are optimistic that we will far surpass our funds from last year and hopefully collect closer to $1000.00 this October.”

To further encourage students to encompass the cause, Booth said, “On October 28, we are allowing our students to enjoy a special dress-down day. Any student who purchased a pink breast cancer t-shirt is encouraged to wear it that day, along with jeans.”

The top 10 designs were chosen and the students were asked to use their lunch period to vote for their favorite design. Several laptop computers were positioned in the school lobby for this voting process to take place.

The winner, by more than 200 votes, was freshman, Morgan

Clark. Morgan, a member of the PA field hockey team, created a simple, yet impactful design with the slogan: “PINK POSITIVE…Never Quit.”

Morgan received a $100 Visa Gift Card for her winning design.

These T-shirts will be on sale at the Martin L. Mattei Middle School throughout the month of October. Anyone can purchase a shirt by stopping into the school office during regular school hours. Cost of the T-shirts is $10 and profits from that purchase will be donated to the Susan G. Koman Foundation.

Through efforts such as this one, Susan G. Koman, founded in 1982, has contributed $685 million to breast cancer research and $1.3 million to community programs that assist with mammograms, transportation and other needs.

Of this fundraiser, Principal Patrick Bilbow commented, “At the Martin L. Mattei Middle School we want to prepare our students for success, not only in the classroom, but also for success in life. We want them to be smart, productive, caring and contributing members of their school and their community. I along with Mr. Booth, my assistant principal, and our staff, take great pride in seeing our students make such great efforts to help others.

“I commend our entire student body and their families as well as our staff for their outstanding support of this important fundraiser. Jackie Robinson once said: ‘a life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.’ This is the type of thing we want our students to understand.

Mr. Booth did an outstanding job working with our students and our winner Morgan Clark on this project.”

Morgan Clark said, “I know that there are so many women who have breast cancer. Every single one of them has a guardian angel watching over them, so there is always hope. They need to have faith and Pink Positive.”

Pittston FNCB collects food to help combate local child hunger Pittston/Route 315 First National Community Bank helps collect 1,400 lbs. of food for local program. FNCB announce the collection of more than 2,300 non-perishable food items for the Commission on Economic Opportunity (CEO) to help combat child hunger in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

The items were collected at their 21 branches in Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wayne and Monroe counties for CEOs Backpack Program. The Backpack Program is an emergency food assistance program designed especially for kids. Children who are hungry are able to access nonperishable food for themselves and their siblings for the weekend or other times school is not in session. The food is placed in a backpack for the student to car-

ry home, removing the stigma a child might experience with carrying home a bag of groceries.

The idea to help CEO was the result of FNCB’s Professional Development Program. The Professional Development Program is a year-long course, coordinated by Wilkes-University, which focuses on developing leadership skills and teamwork. Participants in the program were required to form teams and design Social Cyclical Awareness (SCA) projects, all of which are aimed at meeting specific needs in the local community. In addition, FNCB teams have developed projects to help other community organizations including, the Hazleton Animal Shelter, Osterhout Free Library and Habitat for Humanity of Lackawanna County.

FNCB delivers food for Backpack Program.

‘Warriors helping Warriors’ pasta dinner today at Wyoming Area

Wyoming Area Builders Club and Wyoming Area Alumni are teaming up today, October 16 for a pasta dinner at the Wyoming Area cafeteria. Th’e pasta dinner proceeds will benefit the Wyoming Area Flood Relief Committee. The dinner is from

12-5 p.m. Tickets are $7, which includes salad, pasta, meatballs, roll, and choice of a home-made dessert.

members. Tickets can be purchased at the door. Take-out are available.

The WA Flood Relief Committee is a group of teachers and guidance counselors that are in the process of figuring out what students were affected by the

flood and what they need. A detailed survey was sent home to the families of flood victims asking them to indicate the basic needs of their children.

The money from the pasta dinner will be used to purchase these items.

The event is sponsored by the WA Builders Club. The event is hosted by former graduates of Wyoming Area. The Class of 1991 held a reunion the week before the flooding. They wanted to find a way to fundraise for the flood victims. After several

PA School District to participate in Operation Safe Stop On Wednesday, October 19, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation along with Law Enforcement Agencies and Pupil Transportation Associations, will conduct the 15th annual Operation Safe Stop.

Local police departments may follow a bus, ride a bus, or watch in a hidden location for illegal passes.

Week is in full swing at the Pittston Area High School. Red Ribbon week is held to commemorate the death of Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.

Camarena had grown up with hopes and dreams of making a difference. He worked his way through college, served in the marines and as a police officer, and then he made the decision to join the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

The DEA sent Camarena to work undercover in Mexico to investigate a major drug cartel.

Stand Tall Club tackles Red On February 7, 1985, the 37Ribbon week year old Enrique S. Camarena By: Brittany Mudlock left his office to meet with his Planning for Red Ribbon wife for lunch. Five men ap-

peared at his side and pulled him into a vehicle. His body was found one month later, after he was cruelly tortured to death.

Weeks after Camarena died, his Congressman, Duncan Hunter, and his high school friend, Henry Lozano, launched what we know as Red Ribbon Week.

Red Ribbon week is a campaign to stop drug use. Many wear the red satin ribbons as a pledge to stay drug free.

Mrs. Turco, the moderator of the Stand Tall Club, is hosting Red Ribbon week. This year’s Red Ribbon week starts on October 23 and runs throughout the week. Kristen Santey, a junior at Pittston Area high school

and a first time member of Stand Tall Club said, “Red Ribbon Week shows the students to take a stand against drugs and how important it is to keep their lives clean.”
