40 years later Standing near the Wyoming Area sidelines Friday night in an impeccably tailored sport coat, wearing stylish glasses and with perfectly coiffed short gray hair, Mickey Calabrese looked every bit the successful New York City business executive that he is. What he didn’t look like was a football player. But to the thousands who cheered at the mention of his name during a halftime ceremony honoring the championship Warrior team of 1971 and thousands who saw him play 40 years ago – this writer included – that’s exactly what Mickey Calabrese is, or at least was. And I had a ringside seat for every bit of it. I was a 22 year old local sportswriter back then and photographer Kenny Feeney and I were fixtures on the Wyoming Area and Pittston Area sidelines. Seeing Mickey at the WA-PA game and afterwards at the annual Ring of Pride reception, for which I was asked to serve as toastmaster,
brought a host of memories of those nights starting with a game when Mickey was a junior and an incident that took place not far from where he and I chatted Friday night. Mickey wasn’t a starter on that 1970 team but in the second half of the opening game of the season against GAR, Coach Tom Vaxmonsky told him to strap on his helmet because he was going in the next time the Warriors had the ball. That gave Mickey just enough time to trot over to where Kenny and I were standing and say “get your camera ready, I’m going in and I’m going to score a touchdown.” And that’s what he did. On the very first play. I told that story at the reception Friday night adding that if memory served me correctly it was about a 45 yard run. “Fiftyseven,” Mickey said quietly from where he was sitting with some former teammates, revealing the slightest hint of the brashness that marked his high
school football career. Mickey approached me on the sidelines another time with a suggestion. “I need a nickname,” he said, “I’m thinking ‘The Breese.’” The nickname stuck with some people but having seen him play so often I always thought “The Tornado” was more appropriate. Mickey asked me Friday night if I remember him and the boys stopping by for a paper on Saturday nights. How could I forget? The Dispatch presses ran about midnight or so, and Mickey and some of his teammates, heading home after dates or what have you, would stop in for a copy “hot off the presses.” They were interested in only one thing, of course, the write-up on the Warrior game. Some of you may know that Mickey was in a taxi on his way to work at AON Risk Services with offices on floors 98 to 105 in Two World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. AON lost 175 employees that day, about a
third of whom Mickey knew. Another player on that 1971 Warrior team holds a dear place in my heart. I began writing sports fresh out of high school in the summer of 1967. My first “live” assignment was to cover a Little League district championship game in Tunkhannock. The local team from the Wyoming-West Wyoming Little League won the game behind the pitching of a skinny kid in professorial type glasses. His name was Donnie McDermott. Donnie quarterbacked the ’71 WA football team and is considered by many Wyoming Area alumni the greatest allaround athlete ever to wear the Green and Gold. And some say the second greatest was his younger brother Charlie. I mentioned the “Ring of Pride” earlier. That’s a hall of fame of sorts of former Wyoming Area football players. It was started and is kept alive by a guy a bit younger but no less intense than the players on that ’71 team. Lou “Bikes” Ciampi
played for the ’80 Warriors and is arguably the team’s most enthusiastic alumnus. The annual “Ring of Pride” ceremony and reception is a lot of work which Lou takes on willingly and lovingly. But no one would have been upset had he taken this year off. The place where Lou earns his living – Independent Graphics, a printing firm he runs with his father and brother – was completely wiped out by the recent flood. As the saying goes, Lou has a lot on his plate right now. But he told me that only made this year’s “Ring of Pride” more important. “You know that book Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten?” he said before the game Friday night. “Well, everything I need to know, I learned right there on the Wyoming Area football field. Those things sustain me in good times and in bad.” You can’t help but get the feeling all those former Warriors heartily agree.

the large quilt for the raffle? “I always wanted to do something for the church,” she said

When Joann Kwasny retired from the Social Security office in Wilkes-Barre her co-workers suggested she set up a little table and sewing machine in a corner of the office. They were kidding, but the joke illustrates how much her coworkers appreciated the quality of the alterations Joann did for them at home with her sewing machine. But Joann doesn’t do alterations much anymore. These days she’s making quilts like to 80 x 100-inch, pineapple pattern quilt she made for a raffle at St. Monica’s Church. The quilt is of such quality it would probably have a retail value of $1,000, if one could be found to buy. Quilts can be found in department stores, but finding a quilt the quality of the one Joann made for the church would require a trip to Lancaster County for an Amish-made quilt. The raffle for the quilt is next Sunday, Nov. 13. Tickets can be purchased today after Masses at both St. Joseph’s site and the Our Lady of Sorrows site or from either Tom Tomsak (237-2188) or Joann (283-3388.) Tickets are $5.00 each or 3 for $10.00. Joann said she’s been sewing since she was a kid growing up in Swoyersville. “My mother made things for me, and then I picked up on it myself. Since I was a kid always had my own sewing machine,” Joann said. She took up quilt making 15 years ago, teaching herself through Eleanor Burns books. Burns, a sort of quilt guru, had a TV show on PBS for a while, where she described herself as “Still stripping after all these years.” It was a little joke about the quilt making method which requires ripping strips of fabric into strips to use in the quilt patterns. “It’s like putting together a puzzle,” Joann said. “It takes precision. Each little strip of fabric that’s put together has to be perfect or it won’t fit together.” She began quilting making 8 x 12 wall hangings that are known as counted cross-stitch samplers.

Everyday Veteran’s Day for AMVET of Year On Veteran’s Day, Richard White can be found at the Dupont VFW By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
AMVET of the Year Richard White would do a stand-up routine at the Pittston Senior Center – if he could stand up. White, 72, is in a wheelchair most of the day with bad knees. But the chair doesn’t stop him from entertaining the seniors at the center, when he can get there, with lighthearted stories and jokes, like the one about how he met and married his wife Virginia Lemongelli. In the early 1960s after he got out of the Navy, as he tells it, he was in New Jersey working for a resort when a friend and coworker invited him to Pittston, where the friend lived. They went to Ardo’s Bar, where he met Virginia, the niece of the bar owners. White picks up the story. “She proposed to me. When I went to the Italian club with her father and found out they had 5 cent beers I accepted the proposal.” White loves joking, but his real passion is the Navy, the military in general and Veterans. He doesn’t get around as much as he used to, but come Friday, Veteran’s Day, White will be attending some Veteran’s Day events, including one at the Dupont VFW Post 4909. He’s a life member of American Legion Post 477 and AMVETS Post

189, where he reigns as the Pennsylvania AMVET of the Year. White was selected AMVET of the Year at the organization’s state banquet at Four Points Sheraton Hotel in Greensburg during the summer. He said he didn’t know until the moment he
was announced. “I was shocked and honored when they called my name,” he said. White’s work ethic for Veterans causes made it easy on the committee that selected him. He chaired the AMVETS change of Command Ceremony, Family
Picnic and awards program and Christmas party, making sure that Vets from the VA hospital nursing home and Geno Merli center were invited and got there. He was a leader among Clover Program ticket sales, helped establish an AMVETS Ladies
Auxiliary and Sons and AMVETS Squadron at Post 189, and worked on the Americanism Program, an essay contest for high schools students. He spoke at Veteran’s Day, Pearl Harbor and Memorial Day ceremonies. White also got a flag pole for the YMCA. He found the pole one day in the summer of 2010 he was sitting in the “institute of learning,” as he calls Burger King, watching workers prepare to demolish the old state employment building across Kennedy Boulevard, when he noticed something most people might have missed: a flag pole on top of the building. He also was aware of something most people never thought of: the Greater Pittston YMCA did not have a flag pole. In short order, thanks to White and the AMVETS chapter, the Y was flying Old Glory. Once White decided the flag atop the doomed building might be saved and given to the Y, he called Pittston Redevelopment Office Director Jerry Mullarkey, who in turn talked to the contractor, who salvaged the pole. Rep. Mike Carroll got a flag. With the help of the city fire department and its bucket truck, YMCA property manager Brian Fallon mounted the pole over the front entrance and Charlie Barone See AMVET, Page 31

never saw a happier group of soldiers in all your life,” Lewicki said. “Because we knew something important was coming. We were firing guns to celebrate.” The something important was Japan’s surrender on August 15. Lewicki wound up in Japan after all, but not under fire. When the
surrender ceremony was held on September 2 aboard the U.S. battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay, Lewicki was there on a troop carrier. “Right after it was signed we disembarked for occupation,” he said. “Tokyo was destroyed. The
only thing standing was chimneys. The bombers were selective, though. They left the Imperial grounds untouched and the electric rail line untouched because they knew we’d need them.” See WWII VET, Page 31

For 60 years Frank Lewicki didn’t think about his World War II experiences. But last month in a ceremony at the Dupont VFW when Senator Robert Casey presented him with the Bronze Star he had earned 60 years ago in the Pacific Theater, the memories flooded back in vivid detail. Lewicki, 86, volunteered for induction on his 18th birthday in August of1943. A month later he was sent to Camp Wolters, Texas, for 17 weeks basic training as an infantryman. After a week furlough back home in Plains, he reported to San Francisco, and then shipped out with the182nd infantry to New Caledonia, an archipelago in the Western Pacific east of Australia which was a staging depot infantry replacements heading to the Philippines. The 182nd was part of the Americal Division, famed for assaulting the Japanese at Guadalcanal in one of the bloodiest battles of the Pacific Theater. In January of 1944 Lewicki’s unit was sent to Bougainville Island to relieve troops there. Though the Americans had tak-
en Bougainville, there were extensive mop-up operations that had to be conducted. The island was secure, but Lewicki went on patrol missions looking for pockets of Japanese soldiers. He did the same thing at Leyte Island which the Americans invaded in October of 1944 precipitating the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle of WWII. “They were clean up operations,” Lewicki said. “It sounds easy, but it was pretty bad.” Lewicki nearly avoided combat duty. The Army issued an order that no soldier under 19 was to be sent into combat. The order came just after Lewicki’s birthday. After they secured Bougainville and Leyte, Lewicki and his unit were sent to establish a beachhead at Cebu Island in the central Philippines which General MacArthur wanted as a vital staging point for what was then seen as the inevitable invasion of the Japanese mainland, an invasion in which Lewicki would have been in the first assault. It was while he was training for the Japanese invasion in August of 1945, that the Americans dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. “You

rank Brosso has been a barber for 50 years. In a marriage, that’s a golden anniversary, worthy of a major celebration But Frank, an easy-going guy, isn’t planning anything particularly special. He’s going “We have to continue to cut hair with a good his shears and scissors, givtime ing the here, we straight shave around the laugh a ears and up lot. the back of the neck with a Maybe steady hand. too It’s his mantra of life and much.” that’s the way he prefers it. “I’m not going to celebrate,” Brosso said. “I’m going to celebrate my birthday. But I’m just going to keep cutting hair.” Having just celebrated his 69th birthday, Brosso is still the same fine-spirited man as ever, never growing weary through seasoning, but rather more lively and more good-natured with age. “I haven’t changed much,” he said. “I’ve seen a lot of things, but I haven’t changed.” Besides cutting hair for a living, Brosso is communityminded. Four years ago, he was elected to Duryea Borough Council. Many years ago, he helped start junior football in Duryea, and, for a time, he served as the treasurer of Duryea Little League baseball. As his term as councilman comes to an end, Brosso maintains his devotion to his business as a barber. “We have a good time here, we laugh a lot,” he said. “May-

be too much.” Brosso was born in West Pittston. He developed his devotion to barbering behind the mentorship of two of his uncles back in 1961. That was a time when a haircut would cost 90 cents and the tips were dimes, he recalled. However, times did change, and with that, so did costs, locations and trends. From the craze of The Beatles to the long hair of the hippie movement, from the prevalence of beauty salons to the ensuing rarity of true barbers, Frank has seen it all.
For some locals and natives, he has cut their grandchildren’s hair, their children’s hair and their own hair when they were young themselves. “I’ve been doing it for so many years and I’m comfortable,” he explained. “I still have a lot of my old customers and I think it’s a tribute that they come here. I have guys coming here for 50 years.” Brosso is grateful. “I just thank God that I’ve made it this long in this business,” he said. He said he has no plans of slowing down any time soon.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
To study home rule or not, that is the question Pittston City voters will be asked to approve or disapprove a home rule study By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Back in July when Pittston City council passed an ordinance to put a home rule study question on the November ballot questions popped up. If Pittston becomes a home rule city what will that mean for the street department, the fire department, the method of taxation or even the very structure of the city government? But those questions are way too premature according to city manager Joe Moskovitz. “It’s important for the voters to realize this is just a vote for a study. It’s not a vote for home rule. What’s the harm in having a study?” Whether to have that study or not will be up to the voters on Tuesday when voters will find a question on the ballot asking them if they want to approve or deny a home rule study and asking them to elect a slate of seven candidates to serve on the

set the real estate rate. Under one scenario of home rule the city would double the earned income tax from .5 percent to 1 percent which would bring in $600,000 above the real estate revenue of about $2 million. In the first year the city would not lower the real estate taxes giving the city its first surplus in decades. Then in the second year the city could begin phasing in a lowering real estate taxes. Under that plan the wage earners whose income tax went up would see a reduction in their real estate taxes along with all other property owners. But everything is speculation unless the voters approve the study commission and then approve of the charter the commission creates, a process which could take until May or even next November. There is a link to home rule information on the city’s website at www.pittstoncity.org.

The cover of John Grant’s book Final Thoughts
When a friend suggested a book, Grant considered hiring an agent or self-publishing, but then Schiffer contacted him. They were familiar with his work and wanted to publish a book. Problem solved. He got one of his fans -- Lisa Lewis of West Pittston, AKA the Victoriana Lady – to help him choose photographs and design the book. In May of 2010 he went to the Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn to meet Doug Keister an author of 37 books including “Stories in Tone” a cemetery refer-
ence or guide book, a sort of a bible for Taphophiles. Keister agreed to write a forward for “Final Thoughts.” Grant also met Lisa Lewis that day and in September he moved in with her in West Pittston, where they are life partners and business partners in a company they call the Passion Project. Lisa is working on books about Steam Punk and Victorian fashions. John is working on a book of Civil War letters. Final Thoughts also contains epitaphs, many of them poems, like this verse from a poem

A book of cemetery photos would be dark, foreboding, depressing, gothic and scary, right? Not “Final Thoughts” by West Pittston resident John Grant. “Yes they speak of death, but they also speak of life,” Grant said of the photos in his book. “Some people look at cemeteries as parks or museums as they did in the early 1900s. Some look at cemeteries as creepy. I look at cemeteries as somebody’s home.” “Final Thoughts” is published by Schiffer Publishing Ltd. It was released last month. The large format 11’’ x 8/12’’ hardcover book contains 170 photos and epitaphs from cemeteries up to 300 years old largely in New York and New England. Though the book as been out only a month it is an unqualified success among Taphophiles – lovers of cemeteries – genealogists, cemetery preservationists, lovers of what is known as cem art, as well as fans of coffee table style art books. Fifteen rave reviews on amazon.com attest to that. So how did Grant -- admittedly a man who as little as seven years ago had no interest in cemeteries or photography – come to this? While working at Ellis Island after a 20-year career in the music business, Grant got interested in genealogy. That led him to cemeteries looking for his ancestors. He was 51 at the time. “I didn’t know anything about cemeteries,” he said. “I bought a little 3.2 Olympus to take pictures of stones for a family tree, in fact 30 percent of book was shot on that little camera and you can’t tell difference from the12.4 meg, D-300 Nikon photos.” Grant, who lived in New York City for years, said spending time in the cemeteries stirred emotions in him. “I noticed calm, peace, and comfort.” Soon he was traveling to cemeteries and taking photos. He created a web gallery and it took off. He got an astonishing 200,000 hits. “I built a little gallery online and people stared showing up from around the world.”
wis and Grant will be presenting “A Chocolate Lover’s Tea” at the Frederick Stegmaier Mansion at 304 South Franklin Street. A variety of chocolate pastries will be served prepared by the Mansion’s Executive Chef and former Head Chef Chocolatier for Godiva, Jody Klocko. Grant will sign copies of Final Thoughts at the event. By reservation only call 6558392.

Associate Editor
The Greater Pittston Food Pantry had a birthday last month, but the volunteers didn’t do much celebrating. They were too busy getting food ready for distribution. The pantry in the old Seton Catholic high school building on William Street, Pittston, was a whirlwind of activity last Wednesday as volunteers in the
storage room sorted donated food and packed the items appropriately for families, individuals and even for diabetic recipients, while other volunteers moved the finished packages to the distribution area. The volunteers stopped their work only long enough to pose for a photograph. Pantry coordinator Peggy Burke said the pantry has distributed 22,221 bags of food since its opening three years ago. The pantry is sponsored by the
Care and Concern Ministries of
the Parish Community of St.
John the Evangelist.

OUR OPINION Is it gouging or supply/demand? Some owners of flooded homes believe they are victims of “price gouging” by contractors. They might say they can prove they are being price gouged by contractors they’ve used before because they know what the contractor charged in the past for similar work. Not to say there isn’t gouging going on, but is the higher than normal cost of contracting after a flood necessarily the result of gouging or does supply and demand play a part? In Pennsylvania price gouging has a specific meaning – setting prices for goods and services which are “unconscionably excessive” in response to a disaster. And, as such, it is illegal. The term “unconscionably excessive” comes from Pennsylvania law which says it is illegal to: sell the goods or services within the geographic region that is the subject of the declared emergency for an amount which represents an unconscionably excessive price. The law spells out what unconscionably excessive means: a price is unconscionably excessive if, during and within 30 days of the termination of a state of disaster emergency, parties within the chain of distribution charge a price that exceeds an amount equal to or in excess of 20% of the average price at which the same or similar consumer goods or services were obtainable in the affected area during the last seven days before the disaster. The legislature came up with 20%. That sounds arbitrary, but it does show that the legislators realized prices for services, including contracting, after a disaster will necessarily rise because of supply and demand. Never before have 1000 homeowners in West Pittston, to use a rough example, sought to hire contractors at the same time. But the supply of contractors is limited, so the price goes up. Let’s say a small paint contractor who typically works with only one or two employees suddenly finds himself, because of flood damage, besieged with proposals for contracts, including from people he’s worked for before. The painter can’t bid as low as he did in the past because the more jobs he takes the more his expenses rise. Depending on the workload he may have to hire more workers. He may have to rent or buy a truck, ladders, rollers, brushes. And, because the disaster might interupt the supply chain, the painter is likely to find his price for labor and eqipment is higher than before the disaster.

On behalf of the residents, staff, and Little Sisters of the Poor at Holy Family Residence, I would like to thank for publicizing our recent roast beef dinner honoring Bill Gerrity and the late Harold Jordan. The positive publicity, which you provided for us prior to the dinner, increased awareness about the event and helped us to sell over 900 dinners. The money raised from the dinner will be used to help us provide support, meals, and activities for the residents entrusted to
our care at Holy Family Residence. With the rising cost of health care, it is challenging to meet our operating expenses. But with the help of friends like you and the good people of Northeastern Pennsylvania, we can do it. May God bless you. Sincerely, Sister Maureen Weiss, lsp Little Sister of the Poor Holy Family Residence, Scranton
Thanks Turner for cleaning Jewish Cemetery Councilman Rick Turner deserves thanks for all the positive things he has done for Exeter during his years in office. He oversees the front of the town hall, especially the Veteran’s Monuments. He sees to it that the bushes and flags are in immaculate shape and that the flags are properly displayed.
After the flood both Turner and councilman Murawski put in many volunteer hours at the Jewish Cemetery seeing that it was cleaned of flood debris and mud. They made sure the cemetery was accessible. Maxwell Marcus Exeter

Aging (dis) gracefully
colored sweater at home, people. Why? Because you become one with the sweater. Upon seeing this photo, I looked like my grandmother, and my hair, sweater, wall and the murky whites of my eyes were all the same hue: the Crayola color called Blech. You would use this shade to color-in, say a cement sidewalk, in your Shrek and Friends coloring book. Also…when the hell did I adapt the posture of a hump-backed whale? When? I could not believe this photo. If my name wasn’t right there under my caricature I would swear I was looking directly into the eyes of Eleanor Roosevelt. But I did pass that stupid stone the following day. I wanted to save that little piece of gravel, put it on the desk at the library with a sign that read: “See? This is why I looked like doody yesterday!” The following day, I felt better and applied extra blush and eyeliner…just in case of another Kamikaze media attack. The news trucks indeed arrived and I gave a little interview and felt I did an adequate job. Fast forward to the 7:00 news. I tuned-in and murmured to myself: “Well…look at that…they’re interviewing some old fart with bad hair who’s wearing the very same shirt I wore to work today… and…crap. It’s me, Bea Arthur.” What happened? I primped for God’s sake! I replayed this segment nine times and each time I played it back my jowls were swinging to and fro more ferociously each time…like the sails of the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria! I was looking at the camera, but my jowls were waving to the folks back home. You’d think there was no making me feel any worse, wouldn’t you? Well, so did I. Until yesterday, when I was I was walking labored laps around the stadium. An old friend jogged up to me to chat. He looked down at my legs, “What is that?” he asked, pointing to my ankle. Squinting, he said; “Oh! You got a tattoo! What is it a tattoo of?” I glared: “Oh, that? That’s a tattoo of a cluster of spider veins, you moron.” And I tottered away as fast as my icky, veined, stumpy, wrinkled old tree stumps would carry me. I’m old. I’ve never felt it more than this last month. My husband is the same damn age as I, so why does no one ever make him feel like anyone’s father? But more importantly, if they did, he just wouldn’t give a flying turd. Sure, he’s lost a little hair (and I’ve found it… making a nest on my upper lip), but he just goes through his days oblivious and un-self-aware. When he turns 50 I guarantee he will not have the same reaction as I will on my 50th birthday. He’ll go golfing, and I will sell a kidney, with or without stones, for an adomnioplasty, vein removal and enough Botox to sink the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. Take that, Betty. Fortunately, Maria Heck has just enough left in that old body to write her column which appears in this space every other week.

Serve a safe Thanksgiving turkey If this Thanksgiving is the first time you are roasting a turkey, or just the annual roast, it’s important to be food safe. Some folks like a fresh turkey and others frozen. Some of us, as I have been, save those grocery store points to get our free frozen turkey. If you decide at the last minute to roast a turkey purchase a fresh one, but if you are starting with a frozen turkey you’ll have to thaw it. Not only do you need to have the additional room in the refrigerator, but you need to purchase the needed amount of turkey at least one week before Thanksgiving. A rule of thumb for purchasing a whole turkey is to buy a pound of turkey per person. So if you are having 12 people, buy at least a twelve pounder. If you like leftover turkey for sandwiches, adjust accordingly. Thawing a turkey in running water in the sink or worse on the counter is a disaster waiting to happen. These practices are not recommended. Some may say that they have never have gotten sick and have thawed turkeys this way before, but there’s always a first time, so follow safe food handling rules. Food safety experts recommend defrosting a turkey in the refrigerator. It takes approximately one day to defrost five pounds of meat. So if you have a 20 pound turkey, it will take a minimum of four days to defrost. Plan on longer. If you do not have room in the refrigerator for that size turkey, maybe a 5-pound turkey breast would be a better selection. Check your oven temperature. Experts recommend roasting a turkey at 325°, no lower. Use an oven thermometer to ensure that your oven is working properly at least three days before Thanksgiving. Bake stuffing separately from the turkey. Most of us cook sausage first and then add it as an ingredient to the stuffing. This raises the internal temperature of the bird. Bacteria could begin to grow before the internal temperature reaches the safe level of 165. Remove the turkey from the oven when it reaches 165°. How do you find out what the temperature is? Insert a chef’s or bimetallic thermometer in the thickest portion of the bird without touching the bone. If you do not have a chefs or bimetallic thermometer you should buy one when buy your turkey. Carve and enjoy the turkey within 1 hour. Refrigerate any leftovers with 2 hours from the time it was taken from the oven. Here is a great recipe for Thanksgiving morning. It is an easy to make bread that doesn’t require a mixer. Pumpkin Bread
2 large eggs 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup canola oil 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix) 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp allspice 1 tsp baking soda Spray a loaf pan with nonfat cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whish eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla and pumpkin until well combined. In large bowl, sift together flour, spices and baking soda. Make a well in center of mixture and add pumpkin. Add pumpkin mixture. Mix just until moistened. Bake 50 – 60 minutes in 350 degree oven. Mary R.

Right in time for Halloween, unbeknownst to me, I’ve apparently donned the mask of the Crypt Keeper. Except it’s not a mask. That’s right…I’m now older than dirt. Older than Hugh Hefner, Phyllis Diller and Betty White. And, quite frankly, Betty looks better than me these days. What the heck? I’m a startled that it’s come on so suddenly. I realize I’m almost 50, but I pretend I’m not….and pretense is half true…right? So when I’m brought back to the present, where tight skin and lucid thoughts have taken a siesta, I become rattled. Two weeks ago, we WP Librarians attended a gala affair at the stadium called Flood Fest. I was sitting with my co-workers and chatting someone’s ear off as per usual. When I interrupted a conversation in front of me, my church friend, who shall remain nameless, but totally knows who he is, said to me: “Hey! I was talking to your daughter here” Silence. I looked left. I looked right. I looked behind me and I craned my crepe-like neck 180 degrees. No daughter. No blood relatives, at all, to be found. What the hell was he talking about? To clear up my obvious muddled confusion he pointed to Anne, our Library Director and said, “You know. Your daughter.” Silence. I gritted teeth, which is dicey at my age. They may turn to dust. “That’s. Not. My. Daughter.” Anne, naturally, basked in this assertion, more than words can express. I did not. “My daughter! My daughter??? Are you crazy? She’s my boss! I would have had to have had her at 14 if she’s my daughter! This is not Appalachia circa 1923, for God’s sake! I did not have a baby at 14!!!” I took my deflated, Flood Fest good time and slithered out of that stadium and directly to CVS. I bought any Retinol products that I could yank off the shelf, but only the ones for which I had a coupon. I’m old and I’m cheap. I slathered on the Olay Under Eye Treatment followed by a nice Glycolic peel, followed by a side order of almond scrub containing peptides… which I pray to God has nothing to do with birth control. It just sounds like it might. I felt better the next day. Until I didn’t. Later that week, I was growing and fertilizing stones of the kidney sort. I looked like a bowl of mashed potatoes. Just nasty. It was also the week of the library’s grand-temporary-re-opening. And, with that, came publicity. And, with that, came the newspaper reporters, and the TV stations. And, there was no damn bookshelf hefty enough behind which I could hide. I didn’t know what I looked like until I saw myself in the newspaper. Obviously, I was under the impression it was ugly sweater day that day, but I was evidently the only one who received the memo. When you are passing a stone, followed by a friendly neighborhood UTI, just leave the oatmeal-

MARIA REMEMBERS MARIA CAPOLARELLA-MONTANTE
October snow and November days I watched in wonderment the fineness of the flakes and how gently they fell to the ground that Saturday afternoon while observing the first snowflakes of the nor’easter that was expected. Who would have thought two days before Halloween we would be immersed in snow? Staring at the snow from my kitchen window my thoughts went back in time watching the same occurrence from one of the LIU office windows. My concern at that time was how quickly the snow was accumulating on the ground and the dread of driving home in the snow and ice. My co-worker and good friend Antoinette Dominick was watching the same snowfall when I heard the excitement in her voice.” I love snow. Look at the houses and trees don’t they look like they’re in a snow globe?” Now each time I witness the first flakes begin to fall I am viewing them in that light. This past snowfall was quite unusual for the autumn golden leaves on the trees were gently mingled with the snowflakes as they gracefully danced together in a swirl to the ground. At first the snowflakes disappeared but the leaves remained in a soggy pile. As the day progressed and the snow fell and fell the leaves were camouflaged in white. By twilight the branches on the trees where heavily outlined in white mingled with specks of silvery ice that twinkled like diamonds. Winter wonderland came to mind. Call it curiosity but I found myself looking out the kitchen window often to note the depth of the snow. My eyes were drawn to a single mourning dove looking for seeds in the snow. How unusual I thought. Mourning doves are seen in pairs. As the dove continued to peck through the snow I knew it needed help. I immediately w come to life she would dance the waltz gracefully, compete in a 5K run, eat gobs and gobs of ice cream with the kids on the block and still look glamorous. By Tuesday morning the snow had melted except for sparse patches, the sun was shining brightly, it was a beautiful day. Almost warm enough for a picnic in the park. The calendar read November 1. November is a month of many remembrances including All Saints Day, a holy day for Catholics and one to attend Mass. November 2 was All Souls Day, a day for remembering those loved ones who have gone before us and who have marked us with their love and am day for praying with visible and inward tears for the missing. Many years ago, All Souls Day was a special day for children with Sicilian parents. It was believed if you had been good during the year relative souls would bring a doll made of granulated sugar painted in bright colors and place it in your shoe. On All Soul’s Eve the shoes were carefully placed beneath the bed. It was believed while we slept the Souls came with the sugar dolls. Could you imagine the excitement of finding a sugar doll the next morning? My doll seemed to last for months. Each time Papa saw me with the doll he would remind me it wasn’t good for my teeth. The doll went back on the shelf and so did my spirit. Yet to come is Veteran’s Day on Friday, November 11th. A national holiday to honor veterans of all wars beginning with the early development of our great country. There can be no greater honor given to fallen patriots, Veterans and those who serve today to protect America then to fly the American Flag. Fly it proudly and with respect. Remember as it unfolds and waves in the breeze it a symbol of our country representing us as a people who have stood and stand tall in our beliefs for freedom.

WA super says board must work as a team As superintendent of the Wyoming Area School District I find it necessary, with much reluctance, to answer a political editorial that was written by one of our board members, Frank Casarella, in his endorsement of certain school board candidates. I understand that this is normal behavior, this time of year, on the part of “politicians”, being negative and attacking fellow colleagues , however Mr. Casarella, in his desire to control the school board, has made disparaging remarks against me, to which I must respond. Mr. Casarella stated I did not provide him with information that he requested regarding heating and lighting costs of the buildings, number of staff and students and vacant classrooms. The facts are that during the budget process Mr. Casarella, along with all board members, received comprehensive reports from our business agent, the facilities director, administration and myself relative to district revenues, expenditures, number of staff, salaries, enrollment data, and operating costs of the district, including a detailed analysis of the operating costs of the Sarah J. Dymond Elementary. In addition, monthly district expenditure reports are included in board packets given to all board
members. Mr. Casarella had all the information he needed to make a well-informed decision. Wyoming Area is recognized as a premier district in the county and throughout the state. Our high PSSA scores, the top ranked colleges and universities that our students attend, our ranking in the top 15% of over 500 school districts in the Commonwealth, and our state of the art technology resources speaks for itself. It is disappointing that a former teacher and administrator of our district, now a board member, would criticize these accomplishments in order to gain what he calls a “majority”. These are difficult times in education and difficult decisions need to be made. This is no time for the myopic or shortsighted majority/ minority board member mentality of Mr. Casarella. As superintendent, it is my desire to work cooperatively with nine individuals , who will work as a team, for a common cause—the betterment of the district and quality education for all of our students. Raymond Bernardi Superintendent of Schools, Wyoming Area School District
WA board candidate says good luck to all candidates I have entered into the race for the Wyoming Area School Director as the only Independent Party Candidate who has no political ideologies but to serve with integrity and accountability. I believe that my running mates, Dr. Estelle Campenni, Mrs. Beth Gober-Mangan, and Mr. Carl Yorina share these ideologies with me. In the short time that I have been involved in the race, I have noticed a change in communication and behavior within the District.
I would like to see further improvement, and believe that my running mates and I can achieve this. We look forward to serving you and your families, and making a good school district the best school district. Good luck to all Candidates. Mary Louise Degnan, RN, BSN Member of the A+ Ticket for Wyoming Area School Board
Valenti, DeAngelo respond to Casarella This is in response to Frank Casarella’s negative letter implying that we have neglected to act responsibly on behalf of the Wyoming Area taxpayers. We take great offense to this statement by Mr. Casarella. In our tenure as sitting board members we have always made our decisions based in the best interest of students, always keeping in mind our already overburdened taxpayers. We are sensitive to the taxpayers of the community, that’s why we voted no to a tax increase the last two years whereas Mr. Casarella voted yes, increasing your taxes.
Mr. Casarella states we have not developed plans for renovations of district facilities and we have buildings in need of repair. Over the years we’ve allocated capital improvement money to renovate and update facilities for all of our students with the last building currently scheduled for renovation, Montgomery Avenue Elementary. In April 2011 the board voted 8-1 to approve submission of a $2 million loan targeted for renovations of this facility. Mr. Casarella voted no against the renovation. As board members we stand on our record and are proud of
our accomplishments. Wyoming Area is ranked as one of the top school districts in the county and our per pupil costs are among the lowest. In these challenging times of limited resources and escalating health care costs, the answer for our School District is in cutting expenditures, not increasing taxes. We humbly ask for your vote to re-elect us to the Wyoming Area School Board. Nick DeAngelo Toni Valenti Candidates for Wyoming Area School Board.
Question #1 In 1959, what did Dupont native Ann Blockus do that helped gain the city of Pittston statewide attention?
Peeking into the past With Judy Minsavage
1959 – 52 Years Ago The Old Boston Civic Club embarked on a fundraising campaign that would enable them to construct a community building on the 450-acre site that made up the Old Boston school grounds. The structure was slated to serve as a youth recreational center, site for church services and meeting house. In an article appearing regularly in the Dispatch in 1959, local historian Charles A. McCarthy wrote, “Prior to the incorporation as a separate municipality, a majority of the “Freeholders” of Pittston petitioned the Grand Jury on January 5, 1853 to incorporate part of Pittston Township as the Borough of Pittston. On April 11, 1853, Pittston was declared a borough. According to history.org “At its birth, the United States was not a democratic nation” Being a freeholder, or property owner, was a requirement. Some colonies required a voter to own land or personal property of specified value, or pay a certain amount of taxes. These requirements delayed a male colonist’s entry into the voter ranks until he was established. This reflected the early belief that freeholders, as property owners had a legitimate interest in a community’s success and well-being while totally excluding women and minorities and people of limited means. The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked, “What is your favorite home cooked meal?” Anthony Guasto of Port Griffith answered, “Spaghetti and meatballs, grated cheese and a big chunk of homemade pie.” John Kepich of Old Forge added, “Steak and potatoes, cauliflower cooked with bread crumbs and a dish of fruit.” James Fasciana of Pittston stated, “Antipasto, chicken and rice soup, baked lasagna, and to top it all off, a glass of Chianti.” 1969 – 42 Years Ago Mrs. Carlton Stauffer, president of the West Pittston Women’s Club announced that Mr. James Pietrangeli, deputy director of Keystone Job Corp Center for Women would speak at their next meeting. The club supported the center located in Drums as it assisted
1979 – 32 Years Ago It wasn’t played on Thanksgiving Day but every one of the 7,000 fans that attended the Pittston Area, Wyoming Area rivalry game in 1979 claimed it as the “best one ever”. It was the first time in three years that the Patriots came out on top 20 to 15. Pittston hit the scoreboard first with a touchdown made by quarterback Tony Burns with Robert Bianco kicking the extra point. With Wyoming Area taking the lead twice in the game, Pittston area fought back in the final quarter with Tom Nowakowski pushing across the goal line from two yards out. Mike Sobeski, PA tailback took the Carmello Falcone trophy for MVP by rushing 106 yards and scored on a 48 yard run across the goal line. Answer #1 Ann Blockus of Dupont was the 600th student to graduate from Pittston Power Sewing School. Both the school board and Chamber of Commerce were commended by the Bureau of Employment Security for establishing the school which helped to bring about the restructuring of employment opportunities after the king coal era. The Bureau publicized the effort in an information circular distributed statewide, complete with a photo of Ann and various officials at a special ceremony commemorating the event. What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. - Author Unknown

1949 – 62 Years Ago Eight hundred employees of the Number 6 Colliery, Inkerman were owed approximately $300,000 in wages. After shutting down operations in June of 1949, former owner, Jermyn Green Coal Company sold the idle mine to Louis Pagnotti owner of Number 9 Coal Company. Pagnotti hoped to reopen the mine and call the men back to work. But union officials said no chance, until back wages were paid. No agreement was set between union and coal company officials. Kehoe-Berge Coal Company offered to pay the men in full. Three members of the Eagle Hose Company, Evan Griffith and William J. Williamson of Pittston and William J. Miller, West Pittston enjoyed the fire company’s clambake held at Harvey’s Lake. The three men were the oldest members of the hose company in attendance. Williamson a coal trucker and Miller, head of Keystone Roofing joined the company in 1899, Griffith a retired bartender joined in 1886. The men reminisced of days when the hose company operated with horse drawn carts and a steamer pumper. Members of the Clem’s Eagle Nine team of Duryea were given the royal treatment at a celebration hosted by team sponsors Mr. and Mrs. Clem Resavy. The Anthracite League baseball team was made up of teens William Williams, George Fedor, Vince Zinkavich, Tom Grogan, Eugene Busch, Joe Cimakusky, Pete Cadden, George Resavy, Joe Farrell, Cy Rickwaider, A Gosser, Earl Matt, Don Cossman, Curt Lambert, Bob Yesnowski, Bob Slatsky, Clem Resavy Jr. and Peck Pesotine. The team finished second in the Valley House A.C. Mr. and Mrs. Fetch owners of Fetch’s Bakeshop in West Pittston anxiously waited along the Lion’s Club Halloween parade route for the arrival of their decorated horse-drawn float driven by their son. As they watched the last float pass with no sign of their wagon, they knew something had gone wrong. Rushing home, they found Young Teddy, who explained he had desperately tried to get the horse to pull the wagon, but was unsuccessful. He finally gave up and went home.
many underprivileged women to become self-supporting. The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 established the Job Corps offering remedial education and job training. The act authorized the establishment of corps centers. The Job Corp Center in Drums is still helping people today. Charles Gostynski, Edward Levack, Rev. Father Skurski and Edward Grebeck manned two large barbeque pits for the annual St. Joseph’s Church chicken barbeque. The men tended over 600 half chickens. The men of the church, located in Port Griffith, built the pits from cinder blocks and the homemade barbeque sauce made the event extra special and well-attended. At Insalaco’s on Kennedy Boulevard, pork chops sold for 99 cents per pound, a carton of cello tomatoes sold for 25 cents. At Kresge’s, North Main Street, Nestle Crunch, Hershey and Baby Ruth bars sold for 3 cents apiece.

The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington said the Federal Communications Commission acted within its rights in a January 2010 ruling that aimed to make coverage of sports teams more widely available. Withholding sports programming can place competitors at a “serious disadvantage,” the judges said in a 3-0 ruling. “We doubt that Philadelphia baseball fans would switch” to an alternative service “if doing so would mean they could no longer watch Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels take the mound” for the Phillies, the court said in a 48-page opinion written by Judge David Tatel. *** Alabama has passed the most severe antiimmigration law in the country, while Massachusetts has pulled out of federal immigration enforcement programs. The new law in Alabama authorizes police to stop and demand identification from anyone who looks like a possible illegal immigrant. The law also orders public schools to check the immigration status of their students. *** The United States Supreme Court has affirmed an order placing a population limit on California’s prisons to prevent continued mental and medical health violations. *** A new law in the state of Washington requires parents to seek information on vaccines, before signing an exemption allowing kindergartners to attend school without meeting vaccination requirements. 719298

Cipriani, Stavish and Gadomski have worked hard to establish fiscal responsibility and sound government practices in West Wyoming. In 2011, the borough was awarded the Governors Award for Local Government Excellence in the Category of Responding to Adversity. During the past four years Cipriani, Stavish and Gadomski, have spearheaded efforts to reestablish ethical and transparent government practices in West Wyoming. The spending budget was reduced to levels it had not seen in a decade, by cutting wasteful practices and re-bidding insurance and maintenance services. These cost-containing measures have meant significant savings to the taxpayers. They have increased openness and communication with the residents by establishing a website containing the borough minutes, treasurer’s reports, account balances and ordinances. The borough has received 3.4 million dollars in grant funding since 2008 which is more than it did in the previous 12 years combined. These grants include, $214,114 for energy efficiency

Lewicki said the occupying forced worked essentially as a police force, but had few problems. “I was a little afraid the first time I went to a barber shop to get a shave,” he said with a chuckle. But he didn’t encounter any resentment “That was the biggest surprise. The Japanese people were kind, considerate and hardworking. I enjoyed my stay immensely. I visited many homes, had dinner, joined local Catholic Church. I made myself at home.” When he was sent home and discharged in the summer of 1946, he was not yet 21 years old. Lewicki was born in Plains, but his mother moved the family

McDonald, the Commander of AMVETS Post 189, nominated White for AMVET of the year. “Despite serious problems with his knees,” McDonald said, “he works hard to promote AMVETS everyday. In our eyes he
eats, sleeps and breathes AMVETS 24 hours a day.” White said he’s humbled to be AMVET of the year. “It’s not so important for me, I’m not looking for recognition, it’s good for a local post to get these things.” But he added with a chuckle, “I can’t understand why they voted for me with no women on the committee, it’s usually the women vote for me.”

it was worth it. “They were always so good to me,” she said. “I
thought how can I repay them? It was a wonderful ceremony.”
Molly’s Open Letter to the Community I’m Molly Hanlon Mirabito, and I’m running for judge. I started my campaign with a quote from JFK. As we’re winding down, it seems appropriate to repeat it. He said that political candidates should “submit to the voters one’s views, record and competence….” I agree. And an important part of this picture is a candidate’s experience. I’ve been a practicing attorney for over 22 years. As an Assistant District Attorney, I prosecute criminals, collaborate with law enforcement officers and agencies and work with crime victims and their families. In my private practice, I advise and work with clients on a variety of issues. I understand the law and its impact in all our lives. This is the experience I will bring to the bench if elected. But there’s another important issue in this election. I had an opportunity to meet many of our Luzerne County neighbors over the past months. In our talks, the importance of integrity kept popping up. This word has been used a lot in the election. But integrity is not just a word that I recently discovered. Integrity is a way of life for me. I learned about integrity while growing up in my mom and dad’s home, and I’ve never forgotten those early lessons. I took them with me when I went to Notre Dame to study law. They became part of my professional career when I started practicing in our county. These lessons are part of my life and professional work. I can’t think of a better way to end this letter than with a paragraph I wrote in May about integrity. If I’m fortunate enough to be elected, I’ll bring these lifelong values and truths with me. •My word is my bond. •I will not sacrifice my values for personal or professional gain. •I will not sacrifice my values even if pressured to do so. •I will never break the public trust.

He joined the Navy out of high school, one of five brothers who served in the Navy from 1944 to 1979. He drew aviation duty aboard the aircraft carrier the USS Independence and as a crewman on a Navy blimp out of Lakehurst, New Jersey, the site of the infamous Hindenburg disaster. Asked what his blimp’s duty was he couldn’t resist a joke. “Well, in World War II they patrolled the coast looking for German submarines, in peacetime we used to fly over nudist colonies.” After discharge, he worked as a waiter, dishwasher, cook, chef, dance instructor, golf caddy and entertainer at Catskill resorts where he waited on Hillary Clinton and when he was asked how long he had been working in the resort business he answered, “Forty years, but I’m not making a career out of it.” Whatever he did he always found time for Veterans’ causes. “Vets need to recognized,” he said. “I respect the military. Without discipline there’s no progress.” White’s wife is deceased. He has a son Richard Jr., who helps him with the summer picnic, two

After not thinking about the war for 60 years three things spurred Lewicki to agree to accept the Bronze Star after 60 years: his grandchildren, a robbery in which he lost the medals he did receive – as well as Japanese souvenirs including a flag with signatures of his war buddies – and Rose Carlin. Rose, from Avoca, befriended the Lewickis when they joined her polka group. “They think of me as their adopted daughter,” Carlin said, “and I feel like I am their daughter, we’re that close.” It was Rose who waded through the red tape to get Lewicki his medals.

Steve Rinaldi seeks re-election A current supervisor of Pittston Township, Steve Rinaldi seeks re-election in the November 2011 election. “My promise to the residents of Pittston Township is to continue the programs instituted under my tenure in office and to expand other services to residents,” he said. “I pledge to devote my time to the workings of the office and to maintain a high standard of professionalism in Pittston Township.” During his tenure in office, Rinaldi said he encouraged a good working relationship with both the Volunteer Ambulance Association and Fire Department. “Reimbursements for ambulance memberships will continue as well as contributions and assistance from the township to support personnel,” he said. “During the last year additional money has been forwarded to the fire department for upgrades to fire protection vehicles and equipment in addition to the annual allocation. I will continue to support the staffing of the Suscon Fire Station to protect all the citizens adequately and lower response time of emergency fire services. We will attempt once

again to secure gaming funds through grant applications for both the fire department and ambulance association. “The police department has received new equipment and hired additional personnel to better serve the needs of the public. This will allow us to increase patrols in the Suscon area, Glendale and all sections of the township. As the police liaison officer, I oversee the operations of the police and will work to insure the residents of the township that they will receive the best possible police protection with no reduction in other services.” Rinaldi said parks and recreation have been a priority of his. Both the Oriole Park and the Bryden Street Park have seen upgrades and are maintained by township personnel for the enjoyment of young children. “I will continue to support all sports activities for the youth of the township,” Rinaldi said. In the two years Rinaldi has been a supervisor, 13 roads have been paved and more are scheduled for upgrade. “Using grant proceeds and general fund revenue we were able to substantially
increase the quality of roads with no tax increase or loss of other services,” Rinaldi said. “Curbside recycling was instituted during my tenure. As a result of constant monitoring, our recycling grant proceeds are one of the largest in the county returning valuable funds to be used for Pittston Township residents. During 2011 a yard waste pick up was made available for the residents as well as innovative means of increasing bulk pick ups with the use of Waste Management Bagsters that are provided free to the township residents.” Rinaldi concluded, “I will continue to support the partial payment of both your Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority as well as the Pittston Township Sewer Authority. “Consider all the above factors when voting for your supervisor. I have faithfully served the residents of the township, first as your police chief for over 40 years and now as a full time supervisor. By casing your vote for Steve Rinaldi, you will be ensuring that progress will continue in Pittston Township.”

Haas running for county council Harry Haas is a candidate for Luzerne County Council. His grandfather grew up in West Pittston, married a girl from Dallas, and eventually settled in the Back Mountain. Haas grew up in the Back Mountain and now lives with his wife in downtown Wilkes-Barre. After being away for eight years college and then teaching in Washington, DC, Haas chose to return home, find a job, and start a family here. Today he teaches world history at Dallas Middle School, enjoys the outdoors, and participates in the community through groups like the county historical society, WB Downtown Residents Association, and Concerned Parents of the Greater Hazleton Area. Haas sais, “I am running for a seat on the county council because Luzerne County is the best place to live, and the time has come for its government to match the quality of life it has provided us. My three priorities to achieve that goal are to:1) Hire the most experienced and principled county manager, 2) Shrink the enormous county debt, and 3) Restore decency to public office in Luzerne County by working respectfully with my peers and serving our community with humility.” The Home Rule Charter calls for the hiring of a county manager. “We must find the most qualified, experienced, and trustworthy county executive who will

hold true to the vision of trimming down our rampant debt in a professional manner.,” Haas said. “I visited the courthouse several times this summer, and I met many dedicated staff members and department heads who showed me that there are more positives than negatives in local government. The job of our manager will be to weed out the negative. Although it is politically popular to call for sweeping cuts and to label everyone under the dome a crook, I disagree. We on the council must be level-headed, and while there are certainly many changes to be made, we must not fall into the temptation to start from scratch. We must work together: council, manager, and staff to make Luzerne County run as efficiently as possible. ”

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2011
Residents asked to report any suspicious activity Dupont Borough officials remind residents that there are no permits for any solicitation in town. If any person approaches your property trying to sell a service or good, be very cautious and call 911. As recently as Tuesday, Nov. 1, a group of five young adults were investigated for soliciting for a carpet cleaning business. Dupont police were alerted after one of these individuals knocked on the door of a Crime Watch member. According to police, each of these people was acting suspicious, most of them had suspended driver licenses or no identification at all, and one was actually wanted for crimes in another town. Because of an increase in incidents such as this, Mayor Dan Lello, council, and the police department encourage all residents to report any suspicious activity no matter how minor it may seem.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 8. Voting will take place at the Dupont Borough Municipal Building at 600 Chestnut St. for all wards in Dupont. Polls open 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. First time voters are reminded to bring ID. Council Meeting

Tomorrow, Monday, Nov. 7, Greater Pittston residents will bow their heads to remember and give thanks for Dale J. Kridlo. On November 7, 2010, Kridlo, a former Duryea and Hughestown resident, laid down his life in service to his country when he was killed by enemy fire in Afghanistan in Operation Enduring Freedom. Since Kridlo’s passing, I have had the privilege of getting reacquainted with his mother, Michelle Dale. Dale, who is well known throughout the Greater Pittston area, taught me as well as thousands of other students during her 30-year career at Pittston Area. I received the following reflection from her about her late son that she asked me to share with all of you: It is very hard to believe that a year has passed since my son, Army Specialist Dale J. Kridlo, was killed in Kunar Province in Afghanistan. The date, November 7, 2010, is the day my heart was ripped from my body. I will never forget and will relive the events of that day and the days that followed for the rest of my life. The Pittston Area has honored Dale with many events for his ultimate sacrifice. I thank everyone for this outpouring of love

Haughton named Falcone MVP for dominating performance

Dispatch Correspondent
In a game with so much emotion and intensity, records don’t mean much – especially in the Cross River Rivalry. The annual affair between Pittston Area and Wyoming Area usually comes down to a few big plays or a few missed opportunities. Despite being a underdog based on records, the Patriots made sure they were on the right side of both. Pittston Area stepped up its game and took advantage of those opportunities while the Warriors let them slip away as the Patriots came away with a thrilling 24-21 victory on Friday night in front of a packed house at Anthony “Jake” Sobeski Stadium in West Pittston. Pittston Area quarterback Anthony
Schwab ran the show for the Patriots, throwing for 160 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for another, but it was the PA defense that keyed the win over the playoff-bound Warriors. Defensive linemen Anthony Houghton and Dave Mawson controlled the line of scrimmage for most of the night, combining for 20 tackles, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a sack while containing one of the most explosive offenses in the Wyoming Valley Conference. Haughton’s play earned him the 34th Annual Carmen Falcone MVP Trophy. The 6’2, 270pound junior recorded 13 tackles, a sack and forced two fumbles. He is just the third lineman to receive the MVP honor in the award’s history. “They played outstanding,” said Pittston Area Head Coach Mike Barrett of Mawson and Haughton. “They played like they were
possessed. They shut them down tonight and I am so proud of them.” While Houghton, Mawson and the rest of the PA defense was holding the explosive Wyoming Area offense in check, Schwab made play after play to continually move the Patriots offense. A Schwab to Joe Starinsky completion for 33 yards on the Patriots second possession of the night put Pittston Area at the Warriors 1-yard line. But the Patriots settled for a 23-yard Chris Musto field goal when WA’s defense – led by linebacker Jake Smith – stood tough to hold Pittston Area to just three points with 4:49 left in the first quarter. The Patriots defense held the potent Warriors offense to a three-and-out after two center-to-quarterback miscues cause See SCHWAB, Page 46

There are certain events, which define a community. For some communities the event is a football game. For the Greater Pittston Area, a once a year football Josh Horton game brings an entire community together. “I’ve always had the good fortune to have been a part of this in some way shape or form,” said fourth-year Wyoming Area Head Coach Randy Spencer. “My family, from my father to me as a player participating in the rivalry. Then I’ve had years and years as a coach. What a great expression of our community to see the kind of crowd that we had tonight and the emotion and the care that everybody has around the game and around the rivalry. It’s really very special. It’s very special to me and I think it’s very special to everybody." When you are part of a rivalry game for as many years as Coach Spencer has been, you can experience it on the winning side and the losing side. It was the Patriots who walked away victorious this time with a 24-21 victory. There were tears, there were hugs and there was a whole lot of love on the field after the Patriots earned just their third win of the season. For the seniors, the tears represented four years of hard work. The hugs represented the family the team had become in just a short time. Although 3-7 isn’t normally considered a solid season, this year it was monumental. First-year Pittston Area Head Coach Mike Barrett walked into a Pittston Area football program that he knew the only way to go was up. He earned the respect of his players and turned the program around in just one season. Following the victory every Patriots player mentioned Coach Barrett and his staff at least once. Among those players was senior quarterback Anthony Schwab. “Coach Barrett and I have grown so close, it’s unexplainable,” Schwab said. “He will call me up and we can talk about plays.

breakdowns on first and second down. Schwab and the Pittston Area offense wasted no time once they got the ball back. After a 4-yard Marc Romanczuk carry and an incomplete pass, Schwab hit Evan Hahn, who found himself behind defensive back Ahmad Bouie, for a 51-yard touchdown with 1:23 left in the quarter. Musto’s extra-point attempt was true, and the Patriots led 10-0. Wyoming Area answered right back. Cody Schmitz went for nine yards on an option from quarterback Nick O’Brien, and two plays later O’Brien ripped off a 13-yard scamper to the PA 49. After two 3-yard runs by Corey Popovich, O’Brien hit Bouie with a quick pass and the senior speedster made a move to shake his defender and pick up 16 yards. A Jeff Skursky 1-yard run, and a 13-yard O’Brien to Adonizio connection, led to O’Brien picking up12 yards with his feet when he rolled right and planted his foot in the ground before bursting through the hole to the 1-yard line. Skursky took the handoff on the next play and went untouched into the endzone to cap an11-play, 75-yard drive to cut the lead to 10-7 with 8:17 left in the half. However, Pittston Area was not deterred. On their first play of the drive, Schwab found star wideout Jordan Houseman for his first catch of the night, a19-yard gain. Junior tailback Justin Wilk then ripped off a 50-yard run as he took the handoff and burst through the hole into the secondary before he was tackled at the 6-yard line by O’Brien. After a big tackle-for-loss by Smith, Schwab play-actioned, rolled left and hit tight end Brian

The Patriots won the game, because they played with heart, and each guy on the field played for the one he lined up next to. “I couldn’t have imagined a better ending to the season,” senior tight end Brian Delaney said. “We won it as a team and
we’re a family. I love these guys with all my heart and I am so proud to be on this team.” The family Delaney speaks of consists of more than just seniors. “It was my first time playing in this game and I loved the intensity we played with. We did it for
the seniors and they deserved it,” freshman running back Kyle Gattuso said. “I hope everyone saw how good we really are tonight. and don’t worry, we will be back next year.” It was also a big win for the program. There are some people around the greater Pittston Area who probably feel as though the Patriots could have lost every game of the season, but if they beat the Warriors the season is a
Delaney in the endzone giving the Patriots a 17-7 lead with 6:53 left in the first half. Wyoming Area took their next drive and relied on O’Brien who rushed the ball four times for 30 yards to help string together a 9play, 41-yard drive. However, on fourth-and-7 from the PA 24, Mawson got his hand on an O’Brien pass and the Patriots forced the turnover on downs to get the ball back with 2:17 left in the half. After Wilk opened the drive with a 15-yard scamper, the PA drive stalled. But on fourthand-7, and in punt formation, the snap to Musto sailed over his head giving the Warriors the ball on the 15-yard line with 57 seconds left. After an incompletion, O’Brien took the snap and rolled to his left looking down field, but he didn’t see Haughton coming from his blind side, and the big Patriots defensive lineman jarred the ball loose. Teammate Josh Blaker dove on the loose pigskin, and the Patriots took its 17-7 lead into the locker room for intermission. Wyoming Area came out fired up out in the second half and on their first play from scrimmage, Bouie dashed for a 19-yard gain after making a nice cut leaving his defender frozen. The Patriots defense forced a fourth down after stopping O’Brien for minus-2 yards. The Warriors came out in a punt formation but O’Brien took the snap and rolled to his right before hitting Zach LaNunziata for 12 yards and a big fourth-down conversion to keep the drive alive. But WA stalled after driving the ball for 12 more yards to the PA 21, where they would set up for a 38-yard field goal. However, the kick fell short and Pittston Area would again hold the Warriors to

success and vice versa. "It was a huge win for the program. In Week 1 we got the monkey off our back and we competed all year," Barrett said. "Tonight we played four quarters of football and we played great. I am so proud of these kids and I love every single one of them." The Pittston Area-Wyoming Area rivalry is more than just a football game. It is a tradition that has been part of the Greater
Pittston area since long before these players were born. It doesn’t necessarily matter who won the game, but the fact the game was played is all that matters. Dispatch Correspondent Josh Horton has covered Pittston Area football for the past two seasons.

Old Forge reclaims Division III crown Blue Devils win 4th LFC title in six years with 22-15 win over Susquehanna By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
On the cusp of winning his first football championship last season when Old Forge traveled to Susquehanna, co-captain Anthony Trotta wasn’t about to let the Sabers again take away what the Blue Devils have come to feel is rightfully theirs – the Lackawanna Football Conference Division III title. So the senior linebacker recorded 15 tackles and led a big night for the Old Forge defense in a 22-15 win over Susquehanna to claim the Blue Devils fourth LFC Division III crown in six years on Senior Parents Night at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Friday. Trotta also got a little help from his friends. Sophomore linebacker Jorden Sekol also recorded 15 tackles for the Blue Devils, but the first-year starter put his stamp on the game with an interception and a blocked punt. Both plays led to two Colin Carey second-half touchdowns. “(Jorden) has taken everything in stride,” said Trotta. “I am trying to teach him what I know, and in turn he’s been able to give me tips. As the season has gone on we have learned each other’s game and how to play with each other. It’s made both of us better football players as the season has gone on. “He’s been learning every week and is a long way from done. He is going to be a great football player.” Old Forge needed the big plays from Sekol and the defense despite controlling much of the game on the offensive side of the football. The Blue Devils opened the game with a 13-play, 56-yard drive to the Susquehanna 7. But the Sabers forced an incompletion on fourth down to halt the scoring opportunity. On the Sabers first play from scrimmage, Trotta tackled quarterback Sean Stanley for a four-yard loss from the seven, and on the next play, defensive

end Cory Stuart tackled Stanley in the endzone for a safety and a 2-0 Old Forge lead with 6:30 showing on the first quarter clock. Susquehanna stopped the Blue Devils on its ensuing possession and went on a drive of its own. The Sabers chewed up 55 yards on the ground, including Greg Price’s seven-yard touchdown run with 1:12 left in the opening period. Austin Cowpertwait’s extra-point was good, and the defending division champs led 7-2. The teams exchanged two fruitless possessions before Carey scored his first touchdown of the game. After an incompletion on first down from the 50, Carey hit Dave Argust on an out for 12 yards before finding a wide open Mike Vieira for 15 yards to set the Blue Devils up at the Sabers 23. On the next play, Carey scampered 23 yards to paydirt to give Old Forge an 8-7 lead with 1:57 left before intermission. The two-point run failed. Susquehanna tried to get back on the board before the teams went to halftime after a return on the ensuing kickoff to the Old Forge 35. But on firstand-10 at the 20, junior defensive back Anthony Piccolini intercepted a Stanley pass at the 1 to end the threat. Each team punted to open the second half before Sekol struck for the first time. On third-and-10 from his own 42, Stanley rolled right and fired a strike – right to Sekol who was in the middle of the field at the 50 with no Saber receivers around him. The 6’2, 175-pound defender then turned offensive, and returned his second career interception to the Susquehanna 17. “I had to drop back in my zone and I just stole it off him,” said Sekol. “Anthony Trotta has really helped me get better, helping me out with my reads and everything. I was thinking touchdown when I caught it.” See CAREY, Page 57

The Duryea Wildcats B Team remained unbeaten and unscored upon as they hosted Exeter on Sunday with a WVWYFCC Super Bowl berth on the line and came away with the 32-0 victory over the Panthers. The Wildcats outscored their opponents 274-0 during the regular season, and will now face Kingston in the championship at Wyoming Valley West Stadium in Kingston. Donovan O’Boyle had three touchdowns, and Walter Coles passed the ball well and also had a rushing touchdown. Kevin Krawczyk also scored, and Luke Petroski ran the ball well and had a two-point conversion. Wide receiver Kyle Artley had two catches for 65 yards. The offensive line played as good as they have all year. Brian Miller, Tyler Ferlick, Jake Rutokowski, Jonathan Winters, Nick Harth and Tim Higgins all blocked seemingly unstoppable opponents. Dylan Windburn and Seth Johnson provided depth and relief when the line needed it most. The defense led by Christian Werner took pride in never allowing an opponent to score. The line was held down by Dominic Cerretta, Jeremy Shagnessy, Austin Basara, Nathanel Wesknak, and Brandon Micavicz. Outstanding play at corner was displayed on both sides by Matt Starinsky and Joe Carey. Linebackers played tough with Rob Jones, Brian Giambra and Lucas Baritski as the starters. O’Boyle played safety. This team has been together since the age of 5. They have played in two Super bowls and have had a playoff appearance in every year since they came together. The head coach this year is Rob Jones. Coach Jay designed and ran a very sophisticated offense for the age of the boys. Defense and special teams was run by Ken Coles. The Duryea Wildcats C-Team advanced to the WVWYFCC Super Bowl with a 20-6 victory over the WWE Panthers on Sunday. Andrew Krawczyk ran for two touchdowns while Michael George ran for one score. Michael Nocito added a two point conversion. The defense was led by Fran George, Brennan Higgins, Logan Booth, Chris Urbanski, Dylan Lukachko, and Austun Vols. The Wildcats will face the Dallas Junior Mounts today at Wyoming Valley West Stadium.

On their second down, O’Brien went for 13 yards and PA was whistled for a dead ball personal foul, adding another 15 to the end of the run giving WA the ball at the Patriots 28-yard line. On the very next play, Jordan Zezza took the snap at quarterback and ran the option with O’Brien who was positioned at tailback. O’Brien took the pitch, scrambled to the right, but then stopped and fired the ball down field to a wide-open Joe Adonizio for the score and the first Warriors lead of the game. O’Brien added the two-point conversion, and Wyoming Area led 21-17 with 6:43 left in the final quarter. Pittston Area however would not be denied. The Patriots began the gamewinning drive from their own 27 yard line, and after a Schwab to Houseman 5-yard hook-up, Wilk went for 11 for a first down to the PA 44. But the Warriors forced the Patriots into a fourth down situation and a timeout three plays later with just over four minutes left in the game. Barrett sent his offense back on the field out of the timeout, and on fourth down, Schwab took the snap, rolled to his left before firing the ball downfield to Starinsky for a 25-yard gain and a first down in Wyoming Area territory. “We had so much time, especially on that last fourth down conversion on the post to Starinsky,” said Schwab. “I could have sat back there for hours.” The next play saw Romanczuk rumble for 36 yards to the one inch-line before Schwab took a quick snap, and fell into the endzone to reclaim the lead for the Patriots, 24-21, with 3:13 left in the game. Wyoming Area would still have a chance – two actually On first down of the ensuing possession, O’Brien hit Schmitz for 11 to get the drive moving. But the Warriors got no further after O’Brien rolled left on fourthand-5 and had his pass attempt tipped by Tyler Roman forcing the turnover on downs. Pittston Area tried to kill some time off of the clock after taking over, but it would give Wyoming Area the ball back with just over one minute left in the game.

a turnover-on-downs. With the offense having trouble getting in sync, the Warriors defense stepped up and held the Patriots to a three-and-out. A shanked punt then gave Wyoming Area the ball at Pittston Area’s 26. O’Brien took the first play and went for10 to the PA16, but a personal foul penalty after the play moved the Warriors back15 yards from the end of the play to set up first down at the Patriots 31. After a 2-yard O’Brien run, a pass interference call on the Patriots gave the Warriors the ball on the PA14-yard line. The Warriors got the ball to the Pittston Area six, but on fourth-and-one, the Patriot defensive line stopped Skursky on a dive play and forced another turnover-on-downs. It was the third time Pittston Area stopped Wyoming Area inside the 25. “I think you go back and you look at those key plays, most games you’ll find five or six and it was definitely those in this game,” said Wyoming Area Head Coach Randy Spencer on the missed field goal and the two turnover-on-downs deep in PA territory. “That absolutely is the difference in the football game. You’ve got to give Coach Barrett and his coaches credit.” The Warriors knocked Schwab for a 5-yard loss after the punt, forcing the Patriots inside their own 1-yard line. Pittston Area ran two plays up the middle for breathing room before punting it back to the Warriors. After a scoreless third quarter, Wyoming Area sent its offense back on the field with 11:11 left in the fourth, facing a 17-7 deficit. On their second play of the possession, O’Brien hit Dylan Pegg for a 12-yard gain and on the ensuing play a pass interference call on PA gave Wyoming Area the ball on the Patriots 25. O’Brien hit Schmitz for 10 yards before Bouie dashed through the line for 14 yards before being tripped up at the 1. Skursky finished the drive off with a touchdown on a dive play. The extra point was no good, but the Patriots lead was cut to 17-13 with 9:38 left in the game. The Warriors defense forced a three-and-out on the ensuing PA drive to set up the Warriors at their own 42.

first down, and a huge gain on second down was denied when O’Brien’s pass went through the hands of the WA receiver. Another incompletion forced a fourthand-10 with the game on the line. O’Brien took the snap, dropped back, and avoided the rush before rolling to his right. He scrambled away from the defenders but as he stopped to pass, Mawson crushed him from behind forcing a fumble and sealing the victory and bragging rights for the Patriots. “It was awesome. I wish we played defense like that all year long. They were animals,” said Barrett. “I think it was a learning process throughout the year. It was awesome for the seniors to be sent off this way. Great, great game on both sides of the ball. “It was a huge win for the program. Tonight we played four quarters of football and we played great. I am so proud of these kids.” Pittston Area was led on offense by Schawb who finished 10-for-16 for 160 yards and two touchdowns. On the ground, the Patriots were led by Wilk who rushed 10 times for 84 yards, and Romanczuk who also rushed 10 times for 55 yards. Starinsky finished with 69 yards on four re-
ceptions and Houseman hauled in three catches for 31 yards. Defensively, the play of Haughton and Mawson on the defensive line freed up Patriot linebackers Joe Giambra and Sam Falcone to register some impressive numbers as well. The junior duo split 20 tackles as they helped PA keep O’Brien from making big plays. O’Brien led the Warriors offense with 119 yards rushing and 105 yards passing. But the junior human-highlight reel was held out of the endzone for the first time this season. O’Brien had scored 25 touchdowns in eight previous games. Skursky, the WA freshman halfback, scored two touchdowns for the Warriors but gained just six yards on six carries. Bouie added 44 yards on the ground and 22 yards on two receptions for Wyoming Area. Schmitz led the Warriors receiving corps with three catches for 23 yards. He also rushed five times for 16 yards. Defensively, WA was led by senior linebackers Matt Kintz who had nine tackles, and Jake Smith who had six, including five for a loss. O’Brien, Schmitz and EJ Driving Hawk chipped in with four stops each.
Warriors, Blue Devils to host semifinals Wyoming Area will face Mid Valley, OF in rematch with Trail By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
It took all 10 weeks of play to figure it out, but two gridiron locals team finally know who they will play in the upcoming District 2 playoffs. Wyoming Area will try to bounce back from a crushing loss to rival Pittston Area in the final week of the season when they host legendary coach Frank Pazzaglia and his Mid Valley Spartans on Friday night at Anthony “Jake” Sobeski Stadium in West Pittston. Old Forge will try to continue the momentum they have built since a controversial loss to arch-rival Riverside in Week 5
when they host a rematch with pre-season district favorite Lackawanna Trail on Friday night at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Old Forge. The Warriors earned the No. 2 seed in the tournament despite having 10 less PIAA points than the Spartans. That’s because Wyoming Area (6-3) only played nine games, forcing the District 2 Class 2A teams to be seeded on per-game average rather then on total points. GAR earned the top seed with a 9-1 record. The Grenadiers face a rematch with Lakeland – the only team to beat GAR this year. But the Chiefs (5-5) are a much different team then in Week 3. Lakeland had
lost four-of-five games going into its Week 10 win over Western Wayne – the team that beat Wyoming Area to open the season. One other note on the GAR v. Lakeland game, Grenadiers star quarterback Darrell Crawford did not play in the loss. Mid Valley (6-4) will be a tough opponent for the Warriors. The Spartans have won six of eight since opening the season with losses GAR and Lakeland. There other two losses have come against the top two seeds in the District 2 Class 1A tournament – Dunmore (10-0) and Old Forge (8-2). The four teams that beat Mid Valley have a combined record of 32-8.
The Spartans feature 1,600yard speedster Antonio Russo at tailback and big-play receiver Ronny Tomasetti who has over 35 catches on the season. Russo has 20 touchdowns rushing and quarterback Martin Walsh has thrown for 987 yards and eight touchdowns. Linebackers Chris Merenich and Mark Seber lead the Mid Valley defense. In Class 1A, Old Forge welcomes Lackawanna Trail (8-2) back to the Devils Den after they whooped the Lions 37-6 in Week 7. In that game, the Blue Devils held Trail leading rusher Eric Laytos to just 69 yards on the ground. The former PIAA wrestling champ has rushed for
over 1,000 yards on the season. In the other semifinal, Riverside (6-4) will travel to Dunmore in a rematch of a Week 10 contest that saw the Bucks throttle the Vikings, 28-0. Dunmore’s John Rinaldi tied a state record with five interceptions in the game. The Bucks feature the two-headed rushing attack of Austin Seamon and Daiqwon Buckley. The duo has rushed for over 2,000 yards and 27 touchdowns with Seamon accounting for over 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns of the total. The semifinal winners will play Nov. 18 at the site of the highest remaining seed. There are no longer neutral site championship games in District 2.

Blue Devils treated to victory on Halloween OF hammers Holy Cross, 40-14, to clinch share of LFC DIII title By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
Playing its second Monday game of the season, the Old Forge football team decided to start Halloween early as it continued to give its fans treats without any needed tricks. The Blue Devils bagged another victory over Holy Cross, 40-14, in front of a good crowd on a crisp Halloween afternoon at St. Anthony’s Playground in Dunmore. The victory assured Old Forge a share of the Lackawanna Football Conference Division III crown, and a return trip to the District 2 Class 1A playoffs. It also extended a fivegame winning streak over the Crusaders which has seen the Blue Devils outscore the fiveyear old school, 192-26. The Blue Devils did get a scare early though on All Hallow’s Eve when Crusaders tailback Joe Merli scampered 19 yards to give the home team a 7-0 lead after Louis Gianacopolis had returned a Colin Carey interception 38 yards during the Blue Devils’ opening possession. Old Forge answered quickly with its tailback tandem of Lou Febbo and Brian Tomasetti running for 48 yards on five plays before Tomasetti ripped off a 20-yard touchdown run, untouched around the left side of the Blue Devils line. Matt Mancuso added the first of three extra-points on the day, and the game was tied 7-7 with 6:56 left in the opening stanza. The Crusaders looked like they would make the game a shootout as Merli ripped off runs of 14 and 10 yards to put Holy Cross into Old Forge territory. Merli – one of five Old Forge residents in the starting lineup for the Crusaders – finished the game with 90 yards on 25 carries, but only gained 42 of those yards after his first five carries of the game netted him 48 yards. However quarterback Rob Heyen gained nine yards on fourth-and-3 later in the drive,

and added another five yards to go with a five-yard facemask penalty on the Blue Devils to give Holy Cross fourthand-5 from the Old Forge 19. But with the Crusaders knocking on the door, sophomore linebacker Shane Schuback closed it quickly. Making his first start at outside linebacker, Schuback recorded a career-high 10 tackles, including stopping Patrick Hagan, one-on-one, for a 1-yard loss on a reverse to turn the ball back over to the Blue Devils. Old Forge punted on its next possession, but after stopping Holy Cross for the second straight series, the Blue Devils went back to Febbo and the senior delivered. The diminutive tailback broke free on an off-tackle play and sprinted 85 yards down the Old Forge sideline to paydirt, giving the Blue Devils a 15-7 lead after he powered in for the two-point run with 7:57 left in the second quarter. The Big Blue Wrecking Crew forced its first three-andout of the afternoon, and two Carey passes to Mike Vieira for 41 yards set up Febbo’s second touchdown of the game – a nine-yarder to give Old Forge a 22-7 lead with 5:30 left in the half. Vieira then got into the act on defense. With Holy Cross driving to the Blue Devils 34, Vieira made an acrobatic interception of a Heyen pass to give the ball back to Old Forge at its own 15. Carey hit Vieira twice for 21 yards, and Anthony Piccolini for 11 yards to get the Blue Devils into Holy Cross territory. The senior quarterback then found Dave Argust for six yards before calling his own number for a 43-yard touchdown run with 55 seconds left in the second period. Febbo added the two-point run and Old Forge led 30-7 at halftime. Carey was involved on every play in the seven-play, 85-yard drive, going 4-for-5 for 38 See TREATS, Page 57

yards passing, and running for 47 yards on two carries. Holy Cross stopped the 30 unanswered point streak with 13-play, 60-yard drive, capped by a 1-yard plunge by Heyen to start the third quarter. Hagan’s PAT cut the deficit to 30-14, but the Crusaders would get no closer. Heyen finished with 81 yards on 18 carries for HC. Old Forge answered with Carey, Febbo and Vieira doing the damage. Carey ran for nine yards on first down before Febbo gained six on second to put the Blue Devils into HC territory. Carey then hit Vieira on an out for 11 yards, and Argust across the middle for 17 before Febbo rushed another nine to the Crusaders 5. Vieira capped the drive with a 5-yard touchdown reception on a diving catch just inside the endzone to put Old Forge ahead 37-14. The drive trav-
eled 57 yards and took only 1:38 off the clock as the Blue Devils clicked on all cylinders during the six-play sequence. Two plays later, Schuback returned his second interception of the season 51 yards to the HC 9. Old Forge settled for a field goal attempt, and Mancuso drilled his fourth threepointer of the season for the final margin of victory, 40-14. Febbo finished with 196 yards on 20 carries for the Blue Devils, and Vieira led the receiving corps with a careerhigh seven catches for 102 yards. Carey ended the day 11for-16 for 135 yards. Defensively, middle linebacker Anthony Trotta led a trio of Blue Devils with double-digit tackles with 14 stops, including two for losses. Sophomore Jorden Sekol also added 10 tackles for Old Forge to go with Schuback’s 10. Schuback also added a sack and three TFLs to his defensive totals.

Carey scores three touchdowns as Blue Devils win crown Continued from Page 48
Sabers stood tall, stopping Lou Febbo on three running plays before forcing Carey into an incompletion on fourth down to take the ball back. With momentum swinging back to the Sabers, the Big Blue Wrecking Crew was about to allow it to escalate. Trotta stopped Price for oneyard on first down from the four, and Joey Ciuccio tackled Stanley in the backfield on second down for the two-yard loss. Then on third-and-11, Ciuccio and Sekol tracked Stanley down before he could reach the first down marker to force a Susquehanna punt. Cowpertwait took the snap on fourth down in punt formation, but a sea of blue jerseys enveloped the Sabers punter with Sekol blocking the punt just short of the endzone. The ball wound up out of bounds at the three were Old Forge would take over. “The punt block was on,” said Sekol. “Shane (Schuback) and I are supposed to split the blockers to allow Lou to get in. But we all got in, and I was able to get there. I just stretched out and got it.”
The play resulted in Carey’s third touchdown of the night, the game-winner from threeyards on first down. Mancuso’s extra-point gave the Blue Devils a 22-15 lead with 10:23 left in the game. “I am so excited and extremely proud of this team and how we played,” said Carey. “I can’t describe it. We didn’t want to feel that same feeling (from last year) again.” Susquehanna answered by driving to the Old Forge 31. But three offsides penalties on the Sabers during the next four plays resulted in a third-and-27 situation from the Old Forge 49. Stanley dropped back quickly and then took off up the middle on a draw, but Trotta was there waiting for the senior quarterback and tackled him for a one-yard loss to force a punt. Old Forge couldn’t manage to run the clock out and were forced to punt after just three downs on each of its next two possessions. Argust’s first punt was partially blocked, and the Sabers took over at the Blue Devils 37.
But again it was Trotta, Sekol and the Old Forge defense holding Susquehanna in check. Trotta tackled Price after two yards on third-and-4 from the 31, and Sekol, Ciuccio and Ryan Cadwalder stopped Price for no gain on fourth-and-2 from the 29. Then on the Sabers final possession, Trotta put an exclamation point on the win by tackling Stanley for a three-yard loss on fourth-and-7 with 11 seconds remaining in the game. “It’s a great feeling to have these kids be a part of your life,” said Old Forge Head Coach Mike Schuback. “I want my daughter to be able to marry a kid like Trotta or Carey. They are the type of guys that are committed to their friends, committed to their education. They are tireless workers. “I am proud of all of the seniors that stayed. It shows the character of them and the hard work they were willing to put in to succeed. They know it doesn’t have to be their name called everyday. There are a lot of unseen seniors as well. Ciuccio had a solid year for us. Cadwalder had a solid year for us.
Stuart again had a solid year. But no one talks about them because they are on defense. Offense gets the publicity, and defense is a dirty job. “This team matured this year. Some may think they overachieved, but really they matured because this has been a special group in everything they do. Our freshmen program is successful and that group of sophomores gave us a boost this year. Our junior class is athletic, and the leadership and stability that our senior class provided made this happen. It was the perfect mix. The fact we won the division is great. It’s a great feeling to be where we are right now.” Carey’s 170-yard night on 11of-23 passing put him over the 1,000-yard mark for the season. The first-year quarterback is at 1,026 for the season. Argust hauled in five of those completions for 78 yards, and Vieira added two catches for 28 yards. Defensively, Shane Schuback added six tackles, including two for losses, and Ciuccio made all four of his stops in the second half.

But the touchdown was destined for Carey, who snuck it in from the 1 after he hit Argust for 11 yards on first down and ran for another four yards on first-and-goal from the 6. An offsides penalty on the Sabers moved the ball to the one-yard line before Carey cashed in. Matt Mancuso drilled the extra-point to give Old Forge a 15-7 lead with 5:50 to go in the third quarter. Susquehanna did not waste any time responding. The Sabers got another big kick return, this time to the Old Forge 31. Five plays later, Stanley hit Cowpertwait in the left side of the sound endzone for a 12-yard touchdown. Stanley then went untouched into the corner of the endzone to tie the game at 15-15 with 2:49 left in the third quarter. The game began to look like the offensive show everyone was expecting on Old Forge’s next drive when Carey hit Elijah Wilson for 16 yards and then Piccolini for 37 on the first two plays from scrimmage to give the Blue Devils firstand-goal from the 4.
