    Chickie Redbird sits atop the
    bookshelf in my office at the
    college right where hes been
    for more than 20 years.
    As the name implies, hes a
    bird and hes red. And he wears
    a baseball uniform. A St. Louis
    Cardinals baseball uniform.
    Chickie Redbird is a bobble
    head. He didnt have a name
    when Mike Cotter, a fellow
    journalist and fellow Cardinals
    fan, gave him to me back in the
    late 80s but that didnt last
    long. My daughter Greta, 5 or 6
    at the time, quickly slapped the
    tag Chickie Redbird on him and
    that was that.
    Greta has always known her
    dad is a huge Cardinals fan and
    has always known Cardinals
    fans refer to their team as the
    Redbirds.
    Actually, Greta knew I was a
    Cardinals fan before Greta
    knew much of anything. She
    was nine days old on June 15,
    1983, when her mother raced
    out of the kitchen of our apart-
    ment in Allentown screaming,
    What happened to the baby?
    right after I, by then standing in
    the middle of the living room
    having leaped from the couch,
    had just let out a heart-wrench-
    ing cry of anguish.
    Nothing, I said. The Car-
    dinals traded Keith Hernandez
    to the Mets.
    Keith Hernandez was my
    favorite player having led the
    Redbirds to the World Series
    title the summer before and I
    was crushed.
    Despite her mothers reaction,
    Greta slept right through my
    outburst, but I knew she some-
    how felt my pain.
    With few exceptions, guys of
    my generation have a baseball
    team theyve rooted for most of
    their lives. The tales of why we
    picked this team or that vary
    but there is one constant: once
    we have a team its for life.
    Take my friend Tony Fino, he
    with the Pennsylvania license
    plate BALTOS. It stands for
    Baltimore Orioles. When they
    started this past baseball season
    on fire, I said to myself I must
    call Tony. And then I ran into
    him the very next day and
    didnt have to.
    When Harmon Killebrew
    died earlier this year, I immedi-
    ately called my buddy Joe Le-
    one, a longtime Minnesota
    Twins fans. When the San Fran-
    cisco Giants won it all last year,
    I was elated for my friend Mike
    Caputo.
    And now that the Cardinals
    are champs once again I know
    those fellas are happy for me.
    Its a guy thing. Better still, a
    little boy thing.
    I didnt start out a Redbirds
    fan. Truth is I started out kinda
    wishy-washy. I vividly recall
    lying on the floor in front of the
    TV doing my times tables dur-
    ing the 1957 World Series when
    the Milwaukee Braves beat the
    New York Yankees and in-
    stantly becoming a Braves fan.
    That lasted two years. The
    Chicago White Sox made it to
    the Series in 59 and, even
    though they lost, they were my
    new team.
    Until the following October.
    When Bill Mazeroski hit a
    home run to beat the Yankees in
    the seventh game of the 60
    series, well, there was no bigger
    Pittsburgh Pirates fan than I.
    I turned 11 that year and de-
    cided to have a serious talk with
    myself. I knew I needed to pick
    one team and stay with them. I
    set down two rules: I couldnt
    pick the Yankees, Phillies or
    Dodgers because everyone I
    knew rooted for them; and I
    couldnt pick any recent World
    Series champs.
    The Cardinals not only filled
    the bill on both counts but also
    had cool uniforms.
    That was the summer of 61.
    Little did I know that within
    just a few years they would
    reward me mightily.
    In 1964, the Redbirds over-
    took the Phillies in the final 12
    games of the season to win the
    pennant and later beat the in-
    vincible Yankees in the World
    Series. Future Hall of Fame
    players Bob Gibson and Lou
    Brock are given credit for that
    miracle but Ive always known
    it was my heartfelt prayers,
    especially those during a cru-
    cial three-game sweep of the
    Phillies in St. Louis in late
    September, with me again lying
    on the floor in front of the TV
    living and dying with every
    pitch, that made all the differ-
    ence.
    While five of the Redbirds 11
    World Series titles have come
    during my stretch of fandom,
    none even this improbable
    one comes close to the thrill
    of 1964. It probably has to do
    with lost innocence, but my
    wife Mary Kay deserves some
    of the credit as well. When I
    told her Saturday morning the
    Cardinals had won the World
    Series while she slept, her re-
    sponse was a sweet but poi-
    gnant reminder of the vicarious
    nature of a fans role in a teams
    success. Im so happy for
    you, she said evenly. Ill bet
    youre getting tired of taking
    bows for that team.
    Well Im not, actually, but her
    point was well taken.
    Unlike 64, I had little to do
    with this years championship.

    When Jordan Thomas was
    five years old, his father Jeff put
    him in a go kart and entered him
    in the Pennsylvania Dirt Karting
    Series races in the Kid Kart
    class.
    Fast forward to the summer of
    2011. Now in his ninth and final
    season, Jordan, 13, racing in the
    Junior Sportsman II Champ
    class, went out as the Pennsylva-
    nia State Champion.
    In the six -race series, he won
    two races, finished second once,
    third once and sixth once to out-
    point the field of 16 karts, racing
    at the Selinsgrove, Shellham-
    mers, Cove Valley and Path Val-
    ley Speedways in Central and
    South Central Pennsylvania.
    In fact, Jordan was so far
    ahead he clinched after the fifth
    race. Karts in his class can reach
    70 to 80 miles per hour. His team
    consists of his father and a fam-
    ily friend Mike Atkinson.
    He will get his championship
    trophyat the PDKSAwards Ban- quet at the Holiday Inn Hershey in Harrisburg on Feb. 4. It will
    feel good because I hadnt won
    other championships, Jordan
    said.
    Jordan, a Wyoming Area
    eighth grader, lives in Harding
    with his father and mother, De-
    nise.
    Having graduated from karts,
    Jordans logical next step would
    be up to what are called potent
    sprint cars, but right nowhes not
    certain what he will do next rac-
    ing season.
    Besides, hes into another
    sport. Hes a quarterback/receiv-
    er for the West Pittston Rams Ju-
    nior A football team. Next year
    hell join the Wyoming Area
    high school freshman football
    program.
    As much as he likes football,
    he said he likes racing better.
    Its more of a thrill.
    The thrill is enough to over-
    come the danger. In fact hes
    been hurt more in football than
    racing, though he has been in-
    volved in a couple wrecks. It
    was kind of scary, he said, but I
    was fine.

    Six years ago, 1,800 acres in
    Pittston Township and Jenkins
    Township off Oak Street and Rt.
    315 was a forgotten area of
    played-out strip mines and quar-
    ries
    In 2005, Mericle Commercial
    Real Estate Services began de-
    veloping the area. Today it is
    known as CenterPoint Com-
    merce & Trade Park and there
    are 27 businesses there scattered
    among 19 commercial buildings
    providing about 2,700 jobs.
    Among the tenants are
    Lowes, the largest employeer;
    The Mens Wearhouse, Boden,
    FedEx Ground, The Home De-
    pot, Bimbo Bakeries and Corn-
    ing Life Sciences.
    Bath Fitter North Americas
    leading acrylic bathtub, shower
    enclosure, and tub-to-shower
    conversion company is the lat-
    est tenant. Bath Fitter leased
    10,000 square feet of space for
    an office, showroom, and distri-
    bution center at 145-173 Center-
    Point Boulevard and expects to
    add 10 to 20 jobs over the next
    year.
    Bath Fitter combined an oper-
    ation that had been in Hanover
    Township and a similar oper-
    ation in Upstate New York in
    CenterPoint.
    Jim Cummings, Vice Presi-
    dent of Marketing for Mericle,
    said the company did virtually
    all the work at CenterPoint on
    speculation and from scratch.
    We built the roads, the utilities
    and physically built all the
    building except Lowes. We
    played a key role for Lowes
    building roads and utilities and
    grading the land so they could
    come in and start pouring their
    foundation and putting up the
    building.
    CenterPoint can accommo-
    date companies needing any-
    where from 6,000 to more than
    a million square feet. Every
    building in the park receives a
    10-year, 100% real estate tax
    abatement on improvements via
    the Local Economic Revitaliza-
    tion Tax Assistance (LERTA)
    program.
    CenterPoint also has Foreign
    Trade Zone (FTZ) status, which
    provides potentially significant
    savings to companies that im-
    port products from outside the
    United States.

    BC Kiddie Campus is a good place for kiddies to learn
    their ABCs and its also a good place for classroom
    quality, teacher education and safety.
    The ABC Kiddie Campus on Main Street in Pittston, across
    from the Fort Jenkins Bridge, was awarded a STAR 4 desig-
    nation by Keystone STARS, an initiative of the Pennsylvania
    Office of Child Development and Early Learning.
    ABC is one of only five centers out of more than 150 in
    Luzerne County and the only center in the Greater Pittston area
    to get the STAR 4 designation.
    Keystone STARS is acronym for Standards, Training/Profes-
    sional Development, Assistance, Resources and Support
    ABC Kiddie Kampus has two locations. The other on Main
    Street in Old Forge is also a STAR 4 center.
    President Scott Verdine said the staffs at the centers are the
    key to quality. Weve been in business for more than 20 years
    and have always operated with a child first mentality with a
    loving, caring, and compassionate staff, Verdine said.
    ABC Kiddie Kampus accepts children from 6-weeks to 12
    years. Its a licensed preschool program that also offers before
    and after school care. Brittany Noss, on left, and preschool teacher Jenna Glynn with the fall pre-K class at ABC Kiddie

    NickDeAngelo andToni Valenti
    for WyomingArea School Board
    We both voted NO to increased taxes at the June 2011 Budget Meeting.
    We believe, in these challenging times of declining resources, the
    answer for our School district is in cutting expenditures, not
    increasing your taxes.
    Family coverage for a district employee, husband, wife and child costs the district over
    $21,000 per year. We propose to cut expenditures by asking that teachers take part in
    contributing to their own health care, as we do, and as all other professionals and
    members of the private sector do.
    We think that is fair!

    Teacher
    Contributions

    The greatest source of our success as a District lies in its people,
    our outstanding teachers and dedicated employees of the District.
    Our pledge to you is that during these difcult economic times, all of our decisions will be made in
    the best interest of students, always keeping in mind our already overburdened taxpayers, without
    compromising the quality education that Wyoming Area students and our community expect.
    On November 8th Re-Elect
    Challenging times need proven and ethical ofcials
    to make the difcult decisions:
    Cutting expenditures, not increasing your taxes.

    dents and to give them potted mums provided courtesy of Ciam-
    pi's on Tunkhannock Avenue, as well as pumpkins. They also
    handed out information about an upcoming furniture distribution
    event scheduled for November 18, 19 and 20 at the former CVS
    site on the corner of Fourth Street and Boston Avenue. On those
    days, residents with a valid drivers license showing an address in

    Though its been 34 years since the last
    high school Thanksgiving game in these
    parts, were still nostalgic for Turkey Day
    games.
    Heck were still nostalgic for Pittston
    Panthers St. Johns Johnnies games and
    the last of those was in 1963.
    But its okay, because we still have the
    Pittston Area Wyoming Area football ri-
    valry on the last week of the regular sea-
    son and we still consider it the premier
    high school sports rivalry in NEPA.
    We believe its so compelling because
    as weve heard said over and over theyre
    the same kids.
    Its true. Its not unusual to see the sons
    or daughters of Wyoming Area bred
    mothers and fathers playing and cheering
    for Pittston Area and vice versa and there
    are plenty of mixed marriages too of
    West Siders and Pittstonians.
    And kids fromeach of the schools often
    swim, run and play baseball together.
    The games these days may not draw
    crowds of 10,000 as they did in the past,
    but well get maybe 5 to 6,000 and when
    the players strap on the helmets the com-
    petitive juices flow.
    Beating WA or PA can make a season.
    And thats the way it should be.
    We love the game, as readers well know,
    because for 45 years weve been publish-
    ing our special section Goal Post as a
    tribute to the game.
    Youll find this seasons Goal Post in-
    serted in todays Dispatch and youll find
    The Game at Wyoming Area on Friday
    night.
    If you havent been to a game in years
    we urge you to go.
    Youll see some very special players,
    PAs Jordan Houseman and WAs Nick
    OBrien, to name two.
    And youll see some pageantry.
    We loved it when Pittston Area fans met
    at the YMCA parking lot and marched in
    mass to West Pittston for the game as they
    did two years ago. There were some kids
    who understood tradition and honored
    history.
    And we love the colorful Warrior Na-
    tion as the enthusiastic student section at
    Wyoming Areas is called.
    And how about our stadiums? The two
    best in the Wyoming Valley we say.
    Theres another reason to get to the
    game Friday night: to treat yourself.
    You wont be sorry.
    By the way, St. Johns won that last
    Thanksgiving game against old Pittston
    High in 1963, 16-0.
    The Game
    still matters
    Junior Cebula was a licensed electrician, a great hunter and a
    fisherman, "an everything man". He served his country, family,
    church and community alike.
    He was one of those people who had an intuitive understand-
    ing of anything electrical or mechanical. He had a garage and
    cellar filled with tools and his door was always opened to any
    person who needed his help or advice.
    Its not that people like John Cebula Jr. are so rare in the United
    States, if you take the time to look, you can find them in just
    about every community.
    What is instructive though, is that men like him are seldom
    mentionedwhenlists of great Americans are compiled. The lives
    men like Junior make better do not extend past the borders of
    their towns or counties. Their names are unknown in the power
    center of the nation. Yet howis greatness defined? Who touches
    the lives of his or her neighbors more than a person like Junior?
    John Cebula Jr. touched the people of his town in ways so pro-
    found and so lasting that his life, although not the stuff of history
    books, was apparently a lesson in things that really count; Junior
    has served his country, his family and his community with honor
    and respect. May he rest in peace.
    The Cebula family would like to thank all of Juniors friends
    and family and also the staff at Geisinger Hospice Care.

    If you have college aged kids, or have friends that do, you might
    have seen a bit of a change in their appearance these past fewweeks.
    Many times its this time of year that we see clothes fitting just a bit
    differently then when they starting their newcollege career late sum-
    mer.
    Freshman year is a time of many changes new school, new
    friends, newclasses, and newfreedoms. For some students, the tran-
    sition to college life often means more stress and poorer eating habits
    which can lead to weight gain.The good news is that the fresh-
    man 15 is a bit of an exaggeration according to Penn State Depart-
    ment of Nutritional Sciences. Several studies within the last few
    years showthat not everyone gains weight during their freshman year
    some people actually lose weight or stay the same. For those who
    do gain weight, the average is closer to 5 pounds, instead of 15. But
    college is still a time where you can learn lifelong healthy eating
    habits, which, for some people, can be used to keep off unwanted
    weight gain.
    Try discussing a few of these tips from Penn State:
    Be aware of the environment. Many dining commons provide buf-
    fet-style, all you care to eat service, and research indicates that if
    you put food in front of someone, theyre probably going to eat it.
    Portion control limiting the volume youre eating is important
    if you want to keep of weight gain.
    Knowhowactive they are. This will determine howmany calories
    they should be eating in a day. Someone who exercises several times
    per week, for example, might needthe energyof sugarydrinks tohelp
    energize their body during exercise.
    Be aware of stress levels. For many people, food provides comfort.
    In a newenvironment which can be stressful people often turn
    to comfort as a way to cope. Many comfort foods, although delicious,
    tend to be loaded with sugar or fats, which are the enemy of weight
    loss. Have a planfor choosingyour meal. Encourage themtoimagine
    what their plate will looklike before stockinguponfoodat the dining
    commons. Focus on non starchy vegetables; these should make up
    about half of your meal. Especially those that are dark and leafy
    contain many nutrients that help keep your body running. Slower
    eating can also help with digestion and prevention indigestion in the
    short term. Weigh yourself regularly.
    When getting ready to pack care packages, fill the box with dried
    snacks like soy chips, canned three bean salads, canned hummus,
    prepackaged nuts and whole grain crackers. Round the meal out with
    applesauce and other prepackaged fruit cups just in case they miss
    dinner. If candy is their favorite, pick smaller amounts of chocolate
    and skip the sugary favorites.
    Here is a recipe to include in a healthy care package for those late
    night munchies
    Whole Grain Trail Mix
    1/4 cup raisins
    1/4 cup dried cranberries
    1/4 cup dried tart cherries
    1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
    3/4 cup whole grain crunchy cereal
    1/4 cup whole almonds
    Mix together and place in pint size individual servings. Substitute
    favorite dried fruits as needed.

    YO U R O P I N I O N
    I was an employee of Wyoming Area and now I
    have the honor of representing the people of the
    district as a school director. I believe WA is one of
    the best districts in the state. However, we have
    some problems that need to be addressed: 1) we
    have a small tax base, 2) we have a huge deficit, 3)
    we have buildings in need of repair and 4) in my
    opinion, we have a present majority that has ne-
    glected over time to act responsibly on behalf of
    taxpayers.
    Historically, Toni Valenti and Nick DeAngelo
    have voted for tax increases, except in election
    years. These same directors have hired their family
    and friends. They have not developed plans for re-
    pairs or the systematic replacement of equipment.
    The superintendent and board president have a re-
    sponsibility to share this information not only with
    other board members, but also with the public. At a
    board meeting, I asked for information on the heat-
    ing and lighting costs in every building, the num-
    ber of teachers, the number of students in each
    class, and the number of classrooms used and un-
    used in each school. This information was never
    provided to me.
    WA needs your help now.
    Vote Campenni, Degnan, Gober-Mangan and
    Yorina. All four candidates for WA School Direc-
    tor are college graduates who will act in the best
    interest of the community and make no. 1not 47 in
    the state.

    Fellow Citizens of Exeter Township it is with a
    deep humility that we incumbent supervisor Do-
    nald Hoffman and past supervisor Jack Ruane --
    ask you to support us as we seek the office of town-
    ship supervisors. We have always considered it a
    great honor and privilege to serve the taxpayers of
    our township. Our experience will serve us as we
    address the many problems that face our township.
    You will hear and read many false accusations
    directed against our candidacy. These are nothing
    more than the desperate actions of desperate men
    trying to win your support. Their charges are so
    false and mean spirited that we dont intend to dig-
    nify them with an answer.
    We will not dishonor our township by letting
    themdrag us down to their level. Our taxpayers de-
    serve better. In our campaign we have taken the
    high road and presented our plans for what we in-
    tend to do if elected.
    Presently everyone is struggling with a difficult
    national economy. Many have lost their jobs. Gro-
    cery, gasoline and heating fuel prices are through
    the roof. Our township has again seen much dam-
    age and destruction fromthe latest floods. The last
    thing we need right now is to spend beyond our
    means and burden our residents with higher taxes.
    Our pledge toyouis that we will worktoholdour
    taxes down and to be as conservative as possible in
    our spending. Exeter Township is a beautiful and
    peaceful community and we promise to do every-
    thing we can to keep it that way. Thank you for your
    support.

    The clich ignorance is bliss would make a
    good motto for the Wyoming Area School Board
    majority whose ignorance has led to the financial
    crisis facing the school district today.
    Over the past few years, too little has been done
    by the Wyoming Area board majority to manage
    expenditures despite concerns voiced by myself
    and the business manager of a looming financial
    crisis in the near future. Expenditures represent the
    cost of running a school district, which includes
    salaries, benefits, utilities, debt, etc. Revenue rep-
    resents the various ways in which money is gener-
    ated to pay for these costs.
    Here is where the problemlies: We have all heard
    about the $20 million loan that was taken out in
    2005 for high school construction and howthe new
    school board majority saved the day by scaling
    back the construction to save money. Well, since
    that time, about $1.5 million dollars of that money
    has been used each year to help balance the budget
    by paying the interest on loans. I predicted in a let-
    ter to the Dispatch in 2009, that this money would
    be depleted by the end of 2011. Well guess what?
    Yep, its 2011.
    Budgets include fund balances which are basi-
    cally savings accounts. Generally, about $1million
    of the endingfundbalance (e.g. 2011-2012) is spent
    to balance the budget of the following year (e.g.,
    2012-2013). That means the district takes from
    their savings account to pay their bills. Because of
    this practice, over the past few years, the fund bal-
    ance has dropped from about $4 million in 2003-
    2004 to less than $1 million in 2011-2012. It is im-
    portant to note that the initial projection of the
    2011-2012fundbalance was as lowas $75,000. The
    increase to under $1 million was possible due to
    (one-time only) federal stimulus money that was
    not spent in the 2010-2011 school year and trans-
    ferred to the fund balance. And what if that balance
    were used up to pay for the flood damage repairs to
    Montgomery Avenue if insurance and/or FEMA
    dont pay? Then the district would be left without a
    balance.
    Adding insult to injury, Governor Corbett has
    begun to lay out his fiscal plan for managing public
    education. One thing that seems likely is that the
    10% yearly increase in state contribution to public
    school districts that was received in the past few
    years will be eliminated.
    And to make matters worse, the recent flooding
    Says WA board majority ignores fiscal situation

    Night vision camera
    unveiled at Duryea
    Party in the Park
    PHOTOS BY TONY CALLAIO
    While celebrating the Party in the Park, the Borough of Duryea
    officials showcased a new tool in stopping crime. Through a grant
    fromLuzerne County District Attorney Jackie Musto-Carroll's
    forfeiture fund, the police department was able to purchase an
    infared/night vision camera capable of detecting body heat.
    Shown in the photo at right is Trina Moss, Chair of the Duryea
    Neighborhood Crimewatch program, presenting a contributing
    check to the Borough Police Chief, Nick Lohman towards the
    purchase of the camera. Left to right, Musto-Carroll, Police Chief

    Question #1
    What happened in
    1947 that bound the
    families of two local
    soldiers John Doyle
    and William Bolin,
    even though both cir-
    cumstances concerning the men oc-
    curred many years apart?
    1947 64 Years Ago
    Area veteran organizations formed a
    joint unit to honor the war dead. Frank
    Houser was elected temporary secretary
    and Arthur Werts temporary chairman.
    The joint unit combined John D. Stark
    Post, American Legion; Fort Pittston
    Post, VFW; Finnen-McHugh Post CWV;
    Cannon Company 109th Infantry Re-
    giment, Exeter and Pittston American
    Legions, and United Spanish War Vets
    forming a joint burial detail with firing
    squad, pallbearers and eighteen uni-
    formed members.
    Three new homes built by Frank
    Yuscavage were slated to have the first
    commercial Anthratube heating systems
    installed. Known as Pleasant View Ma-
    nor along the Sullivan Trail, the homes
    would utilize the new fully automatic
    coal fired heating units designed to use
    pea-sized anthracite coal reducing heat-
    ing costs. The unit was said to be ultra-
    clean, ejected its own ash and was 3
    high by 4 wide.
    In 1947,Thomas Stine, Sebastopol;
    Charles Stocker, Stanley Yunkunis,
    Marilyn Yuscavage and Robert Ro-
    dine of West Pittston; John Snopkow-
    ski, Duryea; William Siglin, Hugh-
    estown; Donald Stalbird and Clinton
    Newman, Avoca and Ronald Savage,
    Exeter were members of the Wilkes
    College freshman class designated the
    largest in the history of the college.
    In 1947, the College was instituted as
    an independent, nondenominational
    four-year college, with programs in the
    arts, sciences, and a number of profes-
    sional fields as well as a full program of
    extra-curricular activities.
    The Rosedell Dress Shop in Pittston
    sold womens dresses sizes 16 to 52 for
    $7.98. The Boston Shoe Store on North
    Main sold womens Sundial Shoes for
    $5.50 and fans of the Dispatch comics
    section were following Brick Bradford,
    Henry, The Little King and Snuffy
    Smith every Sunday.
    1957 54 Years Ago
    The general election scheduled for
    November 5, 1957 would go down in
    Dupont history. For the first time a
    woman, Helen Barnakof
    Penn Avenue, hoped to be elected to a
    council seat along with running mate
    Frank Tetlak of Quality Row. In years
    prior, a council appointment was offered
    to a woman of the third ward but she
    refused.
    Pittston High School seniors, Marilyn
    Wierbowski and Sara Martinelli col-
    laborated on a Halloween scene they
    painted on the windows of the J.C. Pen-
    ney Department Store on North Main
    Street
    . According to Pittston Kiwanis judg-
    es Maryann Gaydos, Irene Mitchell
    and Harold Jones, the two girls por-
    trayed the scariest theme and took first
    place in a contest sponsored by the orga-
    nization. However, there was a fly, or
    should I say bat, in the proverbial oint-
    ment. There was only one first place
    prize and that was a four-year scholar-
    ship to a state college. Unsure of how to
    solve the conundrum, sponsors consid-
    ered trying to obtain another scholar-
    ship. If that failed, the girls would have
    to draw straws. If anyone knows if one
    or both girls received the scholarship,
    please call me at 602-0168. Over 144
    students participated in the competition.
    According to halloween-website.com,
    the holiday can be traced back to the
    Ireland, Britain and Northern Europe. Its
    early beginnings started with the feast of
    Samhain, which was held annually on
    October 31 to honor the dead.
    PFC Charles J. Lepore of Pittston
    graduated from the surface-to-air missile
    course at Anti-aircraft Artillery and
    Guided Missile Center at Fort Bliss
    Texas. The U.S. Army started Project
    Nike, in 1944. Seeing that their anti-
    aircraft artillery would be useless
    against high-flying jet aircraft, the army
    produced the Nike Ajax missile in 1952
    and the Nike Hercules in 1958.
    Question #2
    What is said to be the most popular
    candy among givers and receivers at
    Halloween?
    1967 44 Years Ago
    Edward Winn Sr. of Duryea had in
    his possession many valuable pieces of
    war memorabilia representing the Civil
    War to the Vietnam conflict. After col-
    lecting the items over several years, Mr.
    Winn decided to offer his extensive
    collection for public viewing. With the
    help of Bill Graham, of Duryea and
    John Ruby of Yatesville, Winn opened
    a museum in a den located in the base-
    ment of his home on Kramer Street
    Estimated at over $20,000 Winns
    collection included uniforms, medals,
    currency, helmets, some of Adolph
    Hitlers monogrammed silverware and
    Civil War headgear and ammunition
    pouches.
    Wherever members of the Duryea
    Germania Hose Company Novelty Band
    performed, they were a big hit. Members
    dressed in various costumes and enter-
    tained at local events and parades attain-
    ing several awards. Members included
    Paul Komensky, John Bauman, Henry
    Lewandowski, Donald MacRae, Paul
    Zongila, John Pliska, Donald Pernot,
    Bob Herron, Harold Kenia, Joseph
    Kreseski, Adam Lewandowski, Char-
    les Bartlow, George Orenich, Joseph
    Hobbs, Andrew Wasta Sr., Joseph
    Mondlak, Walter Maros, Al Thorne
    and Joseph Swenton.
    Karen Hatter Lacomis, Lorraine
    Kazmierczyk Emma and Joanne
    MacDonald Martinez wanted to do
    something special for the soldiers serv-
    ing in Vietnam. They along with WBAX
    radio spearheaded Operation Vietnam.
    The campaign brought about the collec-
    tion of items for personal hygiene,
    snacking, and entertainment to be sent
    to the soldiers. The Duryea women were
    the wives of Pfc. John Lacomis with
    the 198th Infantry Brigade; Sp4 Joseph
    Emma with the 581st Supply Company
    and Staff Sgt.Richard Martinez with
    Headquarters, 1st Infantry Division
    Artillery.
    1977 34 Years Ago
    The Wyoming Valley Model Airplane
    Club hosted by the West Pittston Library
    presented local children with a slide
    show and lecture on the art of building
    model airplanes and the technique of
    control line flight. Club president Chris
    Peterson and Carl Luschel Jr dis-
    cussed the different types of models and
    answered many questions posed by the
    curious youngsters. They learned the
    club originated in 1948 in Franklin
    Township.
    The Falls Hose Company was pleased
    that it had so many local heroes volun-
    teering to become EMTs. In just two
    years of its existence, the Ambulance
    Association went from a handful of
    personnel to thirteen trained members.
    Captain Louis Bartoli Sr., Co-captain
    Rex Williams, John Bartoli, Sue Web-
    er, David Orlando, Ethel Bartoli,
    Marianne Brunges, Nancy Darby,
    Gerrie Franko, Louis Bartoli Jr., Del
    Durland, Wayne Guss and Ginger
    Stover were registered EMTs.
    1987 24 Years Ago
    The Incarnate Word College in San
    Antonio, Texas contacted Avoca Post
    office officials Leo Murphy and Ed
    Massakowski seeking information on
    the history of Avoca as the institution
    was reviving an old Texas ghost town
    formerly named Avoca, by expanding
    their campus facilities on the site. As
    Avoca was one of 13 Avocas in the Unit-
    ed States, St. Marys School teacher
    Margie Norwood enlisted her eighth
    grade students, Joseph Chrobak, Kerri
    Durkin, Kate Jackson, Michael Had-
    dock, Chris Bungardy, Debbie Galo-
    nis, Andrea Munski, Steven Horoszko,
    Scott Oppel, Eileen OBrien, and Amy
    Patterson to compile information about
    their hometown in Pennsylvania using
    documents from the centennial. Estab-
    lished in 1836, the Texas ghost town did
    not survive. On October 5, 2000, Avoca,
    Texas at the UIW campus was blessed
    and the building named for the Sisters of
    Charity of the Incarnate Word. Four of
    the sisters present for the occasion came
    to the United States from Ireland.
    Fifth graders Jennifer Battista, Au-
    tumn Oliver and Matthew Munski
    gathered around the new Apple Plati-
    num IIe computer at St. Marys School
    in Avoca. The students were working
    with the first e series that included
    built-in features.
    Answer #1
    The bodies of William Bolin and
    John Doyle, soldiers killed in action in
    World War I and II respectively, were the
    first local soldiers to be returned after
    each conflict; both men were from Up-
    per Pittston. Sergeant Doyle lost his
    life in the China/Burma Theatre of oper-
    ations. Members of the Fort Pittston
    Post VFW took charge of the military
    rites at the funeral at the familys re-
    quest.
    Answer #2
    Chocolate candy bars top the list as
    the most popular candy for trick-or-
    treaters with Snickers #1.
    My father, his father, and his father
    before him all resided in Avoca. I think
    Avoca is a great town and I would never
    want to move.
    Kate Jackson, History assignment,
    eighth grade student, St. Marys
    School in Avoca, 1987.

    he 1971 Wyoming Area
    football teamwill be hon-
    ored on the 40th anniver-
    sary of its Wyoming Valley Con-
    ference championship at half-
    time of the Wyoming Area-Pitt-
    ston Area football game Friday
    night. Returning players from
    that team will be introduced at
    halftime and theres a cocktail
    partyafter the game at St. Antho-
    nys Center.
    Those 71 Wyoming Area
    Warriors were 11-1 overall and
    won a second consecutive
    Wyoming Valley Conference
    championship.
    But unlike 1970 when they
    were upset by Pittston Area on
    Thanksgiving and backed into
    the title when Valley West beat
    Coughlin, in 1971 they had to
    beat Pittston Area and then beat
    Coughlin in a playoff game to
    clinch the WVC title.
    With three quality running
    backs in Mickey Calabrese and
    Dave Amico, who were in the
    160-lb. range, and Paul Tamale-
    nus, a 6-1 and 190 wing or slot
    back, and a quarterback, Don
    McDermott, who ran like a
    fourth tailback, the Warriors
    pounded the ball on the ground
    behind fullback Andy Supey, a
    big athletic offensive line with
    the likes of GinoChiavacci, a 6-3
    230-pound all-scholastic; Lou
    Lucarella, 6-0, 220; Bob Black,
    6-4, 230; Vince Randazzo, Phil
    Falvo, John Chiampi and tight
    end John Fumanti.
    The defense gave up more
    than one touchdown in only five
    of the12games andpitchedthree
    shutouts.
    TomVaxmonsky was the head
    coach in his second season.
    WA 34 GAR14
    Friday, Sept. 10 at Wilkes-
    Barre
    The season didnt start like a
    winner. GARs Dave Carter ran
    the opening kickoff back for a
    6-0 lead.
    But Calabrese ran for 217
    yards and scored four touch-
    downs after that, one on a 36-
    yard run after an interception by
    linebacker Fumanti.
    WA 34 Central Catholic 7
    Saturday, September 18 at Val-
    ley West
    It was close, 13-7, after three,
    but the Warriors scored 21 in the
    fourth. McDermott returned an
    interception 40 yards to set up
    his Td pass to Russ Ramage. He
    also tossed short Td passes to
    Fumanti and Staley. Calabrese
    went for 85 on 16 carries.
    Three Td passes was an aber-
    ration for an offense that would
    throw double figure passes in
    only two games.
    WA13 Coughlin 0
    Friday, September 24, home
    An estimated 9,000 fans saw
    the Warriors win on 1-yard Td
    runs by Calabrese and fullback
    Andy Supey in the first half.
    McDermott caught as many
    passes as he threw. He was 1-
    for-2 passing and had two inter-
    ceptions.
    WA 21 Plains 0
    Saturday, October 2, home
    Plains High School was in its
    last season. It merged with
    Coughlin the next year. It was
    6-0 late in the third quarter when
    McDermott tossed a screen pass
    to Amico and Chiavacci made a
    block to convert a 3rd-and-20 to
    the Plains 4. Amico took it in
    from there with :02 left in the
    third. Tamalenus scored the first
    Td on a 10-yard run in the first
    quarter.
    WA 31 Scranton Prep 6
    Friday, October 8, home
    With Calabrese out with an in-
    jury Tamalenus rushed for 92
    yards on just seven carries and
    scored 22 points on three Tds
    and two 2-point runs.
    Stan Waleski, yes that Stan
    Waleski, scored the Prep Td.
    WA 27 Valley West 12
    Friday, October 15, home
    More Tamalenus as he went
    for over 100 yards including
    three runs of 20 plus. Amico
    scored on a 70-yard punt return
    and McDermott scored three
    Tds, one on a 25-yard pick-six.
    The crowd was estimated at
    8,000.
    WA 23 Lake Lehman 8
    Saturday, October 23, at Lake
    Lehman
    Calabrese got back on the
    field and breezed to 125 yards
    and a Td on 19 carries.
    McDermott ran for two Tds.
    WA12 Nanticoke 10
    Friday, October 29, home
    Calabrese came all the way
    back getting 37 carries and 197
    yards.
    He scored the first Td to cap a
    97-yard drive that included a 35-
    yard pick up on a McDermott
    pass to Fumanti.
    Trailing10-6 with 3:18 left the
    Warriors drove 57 yards for the
    winning Td, most of it on two
    runs, 24 by Calabrese and 22 by
    McDermott for the Td.
    WA 39 Old Forge 21
    Friday November 5, at Old
    Forge
    Up 26-0 at the half, Vaxmon-
    sky gave Calabrese the second
    half off after he went for 96 on13
    carries in the first half.
    Amico scored three Tds and
    McDermott was 6-for-12 pass-
    ing for 129 and two Tds, the most
    hed thrown all season.
    WA 8 Meyers 27
    Friday, November 12, home
    Coulda clinched the WVC.
    What happened? The biggest up-
    set of the season according to the
    Wilkes-Barre papers. Eight turn-
    overs will do that.
    Forced to throw after falling
    behind McDermott was 10-19
    for 167 yards, but Meyers picked
    off five.
    The Warriors also lost three
    fumbles and had a punt blocked.
    Meyers played with a short
    field all night, starting posses-
    sions at the WA10 and 22 for two
    of their scores.
    WA 32 PA 23
    Saturday, November 27, home
    Having lost to Meyers the
    Warriors couldnt afford to lose
    to PA again and they didnt, but
    they had to wait.
    A Thanksgiving eve snow-
    storm postponed the game until
    Saturday, Nov. 27.
    Chiavacci and company paved
    way for 195 yards rushing and
    three TDs for Calabrese on a
    WA-PA series record 40 carries.
    Some kid named Jimmy Cefa-
    lo, a sophomore, had 84 yards
    and a TD for PA.
    Having done their part, the
    Warriors had to wait, and wait, to
    see what Coughlin, who also had
    one loss, would do in their
    Thanksgiving Day rivalry game
    with Valley West.
    That game was put of until
    Tuesday.
    Coughlin won 34-20 setting
    up a playoff game.
    With Coughlin facing a short
    week it was agreed to play on
    Saturday afternoon December 4
    at Valley West.

    completinghis engineeringstud-
    ies, Carl accepted a position with

    their Gatorade manufacturing
    facility in Mountaintop, Pa.
    While with Quaker Oats, Carl
    served as a Project Engineer
    with design and maintenance re-
    sponsibilities for a multi-million
    dollar production facility.
    In 1999, Carl left Quaker Oats
    to accept a position with the
    Wyoming Area School District
    as the Districts Facilities Man-
    ager. While at Wyoming Area,
    Carl was responsible for all as-
    pects of buildings and grounds.
    Carl also operated the districts
    sewage treatment plant at the Sa-
    ra J. Dymond School in Harding
    during his employment. In 2007,
    Carl left Wyoming Area to ac-
    cept a position with Procter and
    Gamble at their plant in Mehoo-
    pany as a Process\Project Engi-

    he loved best when he accepted a

    services. The District will retain
    the services of in house person-
    nel to operate the plant and I will

    ator. I will also continue to mon-
    itor and test the drinking water at

    Forty-six years after discharge
    from four years of active duty
    with the US Coast Guard, Wil
    Toole, of Pittston, has finally re-
    ceived the medals he earned
    while on active duty.
    The US Coast Guard office of
    Military Personnel, Medals and
    Awards has issued a corrected
    form DD 215 which corrects the
    normal discharge form DD 214
    to include authorization of the
    following medals and ribbons:
    the Navy Expeditionary Medal,
    the Coast Guard "E" Medal, the
    Good Conduct Medal, the Coast
    Guard Sea Service Medal and
    the National Defense Medal.
    US Senator Robert Casey has
    written Toole and advised him
    that there is action pending in
    Congress to authorize the Cold
    War Victory Medal and it is ex-
    pected that the authorization of
    that medal is not too far into the
    future.
    Toole is a member of the NE
    PA Coast Guard Veterans Asso-
    ciation, Duryea VFW Post 1227,
    Pittston American Legion Post
    477 and is a life member of the
    Coast Guard Sea Veterans Asso-
    ciation of America.
    Toole enlisted in the Coast
    Guard on August 2, 1961 and re-
    cently celebrated his 50 year an-
    niversary of military service.
    Any Coast Guard veteran in-
    terested in joining the Associ-
    ation can contact Neil Morrison
    at 288 6817 or Bob Youngblood
    at 824 4588.
    Military medals arrive 46 years after discharge
    Presenting Wil Toole with long overdue medals is his actual Coast Guard Recruiter fromAugust
    1961, retired Coast Guard Lt. Bill Shaffer, current Vice President of the NE PA Coast Guard Veteran's
    Association and Neil Morrison Coast Guard veteran and Association president.
    Pittstons Wil Toole served four
    year with the US coast Guard
    WA 8 Coughlin 7
    Saturday, December 4 at Val-
    ley West
    Infront of a reportedpaid at-
    tendance of over 5,200, McDer-
    mott found another way to win
    punting.
    He punted seven times for a 43
    yard average. The last of his
    punts, in the fourth quarter,
    pinned Coughlin back at their
    own 1 with two minutes remain-
    ing.
    The score was 8-7, with all the
    points having been scored in the
    first half.
    Coughlin scored first on a 66-
    yard catch-and-run pass play
    from Jeff Zych to Pesotski.
    The Warriors scored on a 5-
    yard run by Calabrese with 1:07
    left in the half. Tamalenus
    caught a 29-yard pass from
    McDermott in the drive and
    caught the 2-point conversion
    pass which wound up as the win-
    ning points.
    McDermott said they prac-
    ticed that play for the 2-points
    during the week and it was the
    only time all season, as he recalls
    it now, that they practiced a spe-
    cific play for a specific purpose.
    Vax said if the situation
    comes up where its a close game
    we were going to go for two. He
    must have thought there wasnt
    going to be a lot of scoring. It
    was a roll out on my part and
    Paul did a little curl. It worked as
    it was drawn up.
    Back to that final Coughlin
    possession.
    Throwing from his own end
    zone after the McDermott punt
    was downed at the 1, Coughlin
    quarterback Zych connected
    with Howe all the way out to the
    Wyoming Area 37.
    Three plays, later facing a 4th-
    and-7 from the WA 33 with 1:39
    left, Zych threw a screen pass to
    Laniel Crawford.
    Gary Wendorf smelled it and
    dropped Crawford for a five-
    yardloss toclinchthe champion-
    ship.
    McDermott said as the quar-
    terback he got a lot of props for
    the team success as did Cala-
    brese and Amico, deservedly so.
    But McDermott said Tamale-
    nus was something of an unsung
    hero as was Supey, the 180-
    pound fullback.
    Andy just punished people.
    He was a crushing blocker. Vax
    usedtoline himuppointingright
    where we were going to go and
    they still couldnt stop him.

    C
    oming from a nearly five
    decade career as being a
    touring warhorse, Grate-
    ful Dead co-founder Bob Weir
    deservingly sounds refreshed
    when talking about his latest
    venture, Furthur, a band he
    formed two years ago with his
    longtime Dead cohort, bassist
    Phil Lesh.
    You know, its nice to catch
    your breath between tours,
    Weir, 64, said from his home in
    Marin County California during
    a break before the bands Fall
    East Coast run. You dont want
    to take too much time though.
    Then you get rusty.
    True to form, the road came
    calling, and now Weir, Lesh and
    the rest of Furthur are gearing up
    for a 15-show tour, which in-
    cludes a stopat the MoheganSun
    Arena at Casey Plaza this Satur-
    day.
    Since forming in fall of 2009,
    Furthur has gone through vari-
    ous lineup changes including the
    departures of co-drummer Jay
    Lane and vocalist Zoe Ellis.
    Now, after the addition of vocal-
    ists Sunshine Garcia Becker and
    Jeff Pehrson, the band is enjoy-
    ing the ride of constantly playing
    for fans that are ecstatic over the
    top-notch ensemble.
    It took a little shopping, and
    then a little shuffling to get it
    right, Weir explained. I guess
    Phil had had some interaction
    with Joe Russo (drums) and he
    liked what he found there. Its
    important for the bass player and
    the drummer to be tight. Then I
    had Jeff Chimenti (keyboards),
    who Ive been working with for a
    while, and also Jay. They were
    part of my band (Rat Dog), so I
    figured lets bring them in. Jay
    was pretty much a set of training
    wheels for Joe, because theres
    an immense amount of material
    there. Jay was able to impart that.
    Jay was headed back towards
    Les Claypool (Primus) anyway.
    And what about lead guitarist
    John Kadlecik, formerly Jerry
    Garcia in respected tribute act
    DarkStar Orchestra, whohas be-
    come something of a savior for
    Deadheads?
    As for John, he was almost an
    after-thought when Phil and I
    were talking about guitarists,
    Weir said. We found out he did
    things other than Dark Star Or-
    chestra, and we looked into that
    and found out he had this other
    voice. It made good sense be-
    cause he knewall the material, so
    we figured wed try him out to
    see if it was creepy or if it was ok.
    It turnedout it was better thanok.
    The guys really good.
    Knowing the Deads music
    and improvisational tendencies
    are almost a necessity, as Furthur
    set lists have seen the band do ev-
    erything from playing China
    Cat Sunflower as an opening
    songtowithholdingthe undenia-
    ble I KnowYou Rider until lat-
    er in the second set, or some-
    times not even playing it until a
    showor two later. Weir and Lesh
    have the final vote on set lists,
    but surprisingly, the blueprint for
    the show comes from two un-
    likely sources Furthur assistant
    tour manager Matt Busch and
    Leshs wife, Jill.
    Basically, they consult Phil
    and I, but they do the ground-
    work, Weir said. It takes a
    whole lotta loadoff Phils andmy
    back.
    An overwhelming highlight to
    Furthur shows is the inclusion of
    brand new material which Weir
    and Lesh have been cranking out
    rather frequently since 2009.
    Cuts like the Weir-penned Big
    Bad Blues, and Leshs High on
    a Mountain, have been received
    with such praise it wouldnt be
    surprising to see a larger amount
    of originals coming out in the fu-
    ture.
    Any band Im working with
    better have an outlet for newma-
    terial, Weir said. Im always
    working on more.
    The amount of new material
    doesnt overcrowd a set list, but
    knowing how many originals
    have seen the light of day, its al-
    most inevitable to think about
    the possibility of a studio album.
    With Weir recently opening a
    state-of-the-art high definition
    broadcasting studio called Ta-
    malpais Research Institute (TRI)
    in the Marin County, everything
    seems to slowly be taking place
    for the hopes of a new album.
    I think were pretty much
    ready at anytime to go in and do
    that, and we have a facility to do
    that in, he said. I guess we
    should start talking about that
    (laugh).
    Since its inception, TRI has
    housed everyone from Furthur,
    Jackie Greene, Slightly Stoopid
    and even Journey, all of whom
    either streamed a live in-studio
    performance or simply re-
    hearsed for a tour. For Weir, who
    says the hardest part has been
    awakening the public to whats
    going on thanks to the Internet,
    the feedback hes received from
    the musicians whove played
    there has been nothing but posi-
    tive.
    Its taken off slowly. Its a
    matter of educating the public to
    the quality of music that can be
    available on the Internet, he
    said. Its expensive to do it, so
    we have to figure out how to get
    it funded. But the facility works
    splendidly. People that come in
    and play are amazed at how it
    sounds and how wonderful it is
    to play in there. We have the
    Meyers sound constellation sys-
    tem in our studio room. It can
    make the room sound like any-
    thing from a living room to a ca-
    thedralWhen we use the sys-
    tem, everyone can hear them-
    selves so well, and the instru-
    ments sound so good that its
    pretty freaky (laugh).
    Although Furthur and TRI are
    his primary musical focus right
    now, Weir is optimistic about the
    possibility of getting back to-
    gether, in some capacity, with his
    last two projects, Rat Dog and
    The Dead.
    For what its worth, I at least
    have the plan of putting on a Rat
    Dog Retrospective and broad-
    casting it from TRI, he said.
    And The Dead, I wouldnt be
    surprised if we reassembled that
    at some point, polish it up and
    take it out for a spin. Its always a
    hoot.
    As for Futhur, the band is
    keeping Weir and Lesh on the go
    due to its relentless touring
    schedule and the energy of the
    music reciprocating between the
    band and its fans. Like every
    show theyve played, the music
    will be the guiding force in
    Wilkes-Barre, something Weir
    feels is the way it should be.
    Were gonna play. We dont
    know where were going with it;
    we have no idea, he said. But
    well get there. Well get there

    Your Singular
    Independent Candidate
    of towns in the WA district will
    result inless local revenue gener-
    atedfrompropertytaxes because
    some businesses will not be re-
    turning and some homes have
    been condemned and will be de-
    molished.
    Seems bad doesnt it? Well it
    gets worse. Not only is revenue
    going down but expenditures are
    going up. Health care costs are
    projected to increase by15%, the
    state has indicated that retire-
    ment contributions provided by
    the district will increase, the cur-
    rent budget includes an unsettled
    teacher contract which includes
    no room for financial solutions,
    and then there is inflation which
    increases the costs of running a
    district from year to year.
    Please be aware that the finan-
    cial crisis facing Wyoming Area
    didnot happenwithout the warn-
    ings and forecasting of the dis-
    tricts business manager. Much
    more could have been done over
    the past few years to soften the
    blow. But the board majority re-
    fused to be proactive.
    Yes, they will say that retire-
    ment positions were not replaced
    this year. But ask themwhat else
    was done to really save money
    without compromising the edu-
    cation of our children over the
    past four years? Proactive deci-
    sions are needed to manage fi-
    nances without sacrificing the
    integrity of education and these
    decisions require much more
    than expecting teacher contract
    negotiations to be the solution.
    Proactive decisions require an
    atmosphere of transparency, ac-
    countability, honesty, intelli-
    gence and a commitment to keep
    ones personal interests and ego
    out of the picture at all cost.
    Because very few people at-
    tend the WA board meetings,
    what you may not know is that
    while Mr. DeAngelo and Ms.
    Valenti will proudly boast that
    they did not vote to increase tax-
    es, be aware that, year after year,
    they have offered no productive
    solutions or support for produc-
    tive solutions which could have
    addressedthis financial situation
    before it became a financial per-
    fect storm.
    Wyoming Area taxpayers, ig-
    norance Is not bliss.
    The fiscal crisis at Wyoming
    Area is a reality and while it is
    due in part to the nature of our
    nations economy, it is due in
    large part to a school board ma-
    jority that put their own interests
    ahead of yours and then hid their
    heads in the sand. Nowit is up to
    you to do your part and vote for
    candidates who value transpar-
    ency, accountability, honesty,
    and intelligence -- not the poli-
    tics as usual that Valenti and
    DeAngelo stand for.

    YO U R O P I N I O N
    What would our mundane, or-
    dinary lives be without high-
    school sports?Asparents, welive
    vicariously as we watch our sons
    and daughters play football,
    wrestle, run, and swim; shoot
    baskets, swing a bat, jump, play
    in the band, do a Flying Dutch-
    man while cheering, and twirl a
    flag or baton.
    Those who have sons and
    daughters; and those who wish
    they had, all get their blood pres-
    sure and heart rates racing. They
    provide us with the adrenaline
    rush we love to experience as we
    witness what weas parents flatter
    ourselves intobelievingthat their
    talent is more a genetic predispo-
    sition rather than a product of
    good coaching.
    Even in these trying times,
    with flooding and destruction,
    nothing prevents our Wyoming
    Are families from displaying
    their team colors, their players
    numbers and the pride of their
    families, their sons and daugh-
    ters.
    As a mother of five, whose
    childrenplayedsummer andwin-
    ter sports, marchedintheband, or
    cheered at Wyoming Area, I
    share with you a passion for the
    excitement of highschool sports.
    Yes, though none of my chil-
    drenplayedfootball, I must admit
    football is King. Its the welcome
    cold of an autumn night. The
    boomandstrut of aproudmarch-
    ing band, a clash of cymbals on a
    first down and a drum beat and
    bugle call on a touchdown. Its
    confetti and athletic young girls
    who are breathlessly lifted to the
    top of a human pyramid, while
    trustingtofall intheothers arms.
    Its the French fries that taste so
    much better than the fast food
    restaurants and even the potato
    soup with tiny flecks of carrot.
    WrestlingwasKinginmyfam-
    ilyandseldomdidwe ever miss a
    meet. The misery of watching
    your son starve to make weight,
    the excitement and agony of
    watching his neck twisted in a
    head-lock; helped to put all of
    your other troubles in another
    compartment. What is it about
    sports that bringout thetestoster-
    one in all of us? Is it the same in-
    stinct that drove the Romans to
    honor the gladiators?
    To all those parents, who man
    the stands, begfor donations, ini-
    tiate dinners, bake sales, whether
    you are football, wrestling, track
    and field, field hockey, swim-
    ming, basketball, baseball, soft-
    ball, volley ball or band -- con-
    gratulations. You are continuing
    onwithone of the proudest tradi-
    tions in this state. Pennsylvania
    always was and always will be a
    sportslovingstate. Frommoreaf-
    fluent school districts, such as
    Crestwood and the Abington; to
    little teams intinycoal towns like
    Mount Carmel and Shamokin,
    the pride is the same.
    Will these sports oriented chil-
    dren go on? Certainly not all, but
    theres a good chance that more
    than a few will favor a college
    scholarship, enablingthemtoget
    an education that a college that
    they otherwise could never have
    afforded. And then there are so
    many more that have brought
    great pride to the District and a
    whole lot of seasonal, inexpen-
    sive entertainment.
    Todays world is a much more
    difficult environment, thanit was
    back when my last of five gradu-
    ated in 1987. Wyoming Areas
    sports programs played no small
    part inkeepingall fiveonthepath
    to success.
    Anystudent whoremains loyal
    tohisvalues, loyal tohisfamily, is
    productive throughout his life
    andgrateful tothose whohelped;
    is bydefinition, asuccess. Anex-
    cellent sports program contrib-
    utes greatly. A responsible stu-
    dent reduces the need for police
    protection, enhances confidence
    to do better in academics, makes
    wayfor cohesiverelationships by
    teachingteamworkandis abene-
    fit to the community in so many
    unexpressed ways. These activ-
    itieswill outliveall of us, beingso
    much a part of the human spirit.

    The West Pittston Library,
    along with hundreds of its West
    Pittston neighbors, all lost a lot
    in the flood, but it is what weve
    gained that I would like to ad-
    dress. Its true, tragedybrings out
    the best and worst in everyone,
    but we at the library have only
    beenprivytothe verybest. There
    is no question that our communi-
    ty loves its library. And the li-
    brary loves you all right back.
    There is just no way to thank
    everyone who did their part to
    get our library back on its feet. I
    hope you all know who you are
    and how much our heart extends
    to convey the boundless grati-
    tude we feel toward each and ev-
    ery one of you.
    Last Sunday, the Wyoming
    Area Key Club, under the direc-
    tion of Mr. Chris Hizynski,
    banded together to put togeth-
    er a phenomenon called Flood-
    Fest. This was an event on a gor-
    geous Fall day filled with band
    playing, a dodge ball tourna-
    ment, Halloween parade, face
    painting, bake sale, basket raffle,
    food and drinks and general fun
    and fanfare. The proceeds gath-
    eredwill benefit the Library. The
    generosity of spirit and enthusi-
    asmthat was put forthonthis day
    was unparalleled.
    I thank, fromthe bottomof my
    heart, Mr. Hizynsky, the Wyom-
    ing Area Key Club, the WA
    Cheerleaders and their parents,
    the WAMarchingBandandtheir
    parents, the Friends of the Li-
    brary, members of S.A.D.D.,
    FBLA, WA Builders Club, Exe-
    ter Lions, Exeter Little League,
    Rock Street Music, Joyce insur-
    ance, Rainstopperz, WA Drama
    Clubandthe amazingbands who
    entertained the massive crowd
    from 11:15 am until 6:00 p.m. I
    thank every person who passed
    through those stadiumdoors and
    purchased a ticket and a T-shirt
    for the privilege of helpingour li-
    brary. I thank you all.
    It truly does take a village.

    I am writing today to respond
    to a letter in the Dispatch last
    Sunday from Toni Valenti and
    Nick DeAngelo, candidates and
    current school directors for
    Wyoming Area. While these two
    long serving board members
    seem comfortable in misleading
    the taxpayers into believing that
    they care about their current fi-
    nancial situation, I would like to
    take a moment and remind vot-
    ers that Mrs. Valenti and Mr.
    DeAngelo seem to have forgot-
    ten a fewthings. While these two
    directors take aim at health care
    costs as the reason for the dis-
    tricts budget problems, let me
    remind them that included in the
    health care costs is the taxpayer
    funded health care for a number
    of family members of current
    board members Mrs. Valenti and
    Mr. DeAngelo supported the hir-
    ing of over the past five years.
    These connected employees
    can each receive the $21,000 in
    family health care as Mrs. Valen-
    ti andMr. DeAngelopointedout.
    That means that $189,000 of our
    tax dollars goes to fund the bene-
    fits of board relatives.
    Perhaps Mrs. Valenti and Mr.
    DeAngelo would also like to
    share with the taxpayers that
    these same family members are
    paid approximately $330,000
    per year in taxpayer paid salaries
    and that they gave the superin-
    tendent a new contract with a
    value of a half million dollars
    and that they attempted to si-
    lence taxpayer questioning at
    board meetings. Lastly, perhaps
    Mrs. Valenti and Mr. DeAngelo
    would like to remind the tax-
    payers that the wives of two
    board members, members of
    their majority, are nowthe recip-
    ients of same health benefits that
    they now claim as the problem
    for the taxpayers. Health care
    costs are a problem but so is the
    rampant nepotism, outrageous
    contract giveaways and the lack
    of respect for public input.
    Sorry Mrs. Valenti and Mr.
    DeAngelo, I am not voting for
    youbecause youandyour major-
    ity have proven your main con-
    cern is hiring family members
    and taking care of friends, not
    the taxpayers of WA.

    FRESH & SMOKED KIELBASI
    Although the devastating
    flooding that heavily impacted
    Duryea occurred nearly two
    months ago, many people in
    town are just beginning to reas-
    semble their homes and lives,
    and they still need our help.
    The Help for Duryea Flood
    Victims relief program is still
    accepting donations for flood
    victims.
    The volunteers organizing this
    effort encourage not only Du-
    ryea residents but also any per-
    son who has been impacted by
    the flood to come to the newcol-
    lection site at the former Zam-
    bers building, 177 Foote Ave., to
    gather items to assist them as
    they rebuild their lives.
    Currently, the volunteers have
    numerous pieces of bedroom
    and living room furniture avail-
    able, and they are seeking small
    kitchen appliances.
    If you would like to help or to
    schedule a pick-up time, please
    call Rose at 259-8629.
    Tax Relief
    Speaking of the flood, the
    Pennsylvania Institute of Certi-
    fied Public Accountants (PIC-
    PA), RSVP Volunteer Program,
    and the Area Agency on Aging
    for Luzerne and Wyoming
    Counties will host eight pro-
    grams to help local flood victims
    amend their 2010 federal income
    tax returns.
    Some taxpayers may be able to
    receive a refund that can help
    them rebuild following the da-
    maging floods from Hurricane
    Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
    Two programs will detail
    which tax forms need to be filed
    and what taxpayers need to have
    in order to support their return,
    including proof of loss, value,
    and damage sustained.
    The information-only pro-
    gram which will take place in
    Duryea is Tuesday, Nov. 1 from
    6-7 p.m. at the Duryea Munici-
    pal Building, 315 Main St.

    It was only fitting that three
    days before Halloween, the
    Wyoming Area football team got
    a bit of a scare.
    Northwest played the Warriors
    tough in the first half as the West
    Siders held just a slimeight-point
    lead at halftime. But it was the
    Wyoming Area offensive jugger-
    naut that was downright scary in
    the second half, racking up 337
    yards onthegroundonits waytoa
    dominating50-17victoryover the
    Rangers on Friday night at Lewis
    and Miller Memorial Stadium in
    Shickshinny.
    Nick OBrien led the way with
    another monster game for the
    Warriors, checking in with 216
    yards rushing and four scores on
    22 carries. His Friday night total
    pushed him over the 1,000-yard
    mark for the season. OBrien has
    1,053yards on103carries. Theju-
    nior has also scored 23 touch-
    downs in Wyoming Areas eight
    games. OBrien has now rushed
    for over 2,000yards and40touch-
    downs the past two seasons.
    Nick is a very dynamic ath-
    lete, said Head Coach Randy
    Spencer. All thoseskills, all those
    tools but at the same time one of
    his most valuable commodities is
    his leadership. Hes tough, hes
    gritty, and he was the guy leading
    the charge in the second half,
    coming out setting the tempo
    youve got to give himcredit.
    OBrien kicked off the scoring
    when took the snap and moved to
    his left before bursting into the
    secondaryandzigzagginghisway
    through the defense en route to a
    59 yard touchdown run giving the
    Warriors a quick 7-0 lead three
    minutes into the game.
    The Ranger offense tested the
    Warrior run-D but Wyoming Ar-
    eabent but didnt breakandforced
    a Northwest punt.
    On the third play of the ensuing
    drive, Skursky bounced the inside
    carryout tohis left andthe power-
    ful backshowedsome speedas he
    went 46 yards before being tack-
    led frombehind. He took the next
    two handoffs for six and four be-
    fore getting the ball on first-and-
    goal fromthe two and walking in-
    to the endzone untouched as the
    WAline pushedthe Northwest D-
    line three yards off the ball.
    Theensuingkickoff wasreturn-
    ed up the middle for a 98 yard
    touchdown by Northwest and the
    two-point conversion was good
    cutting the lead to 14-8 WA with
    1:10 left in the first.
    Wyoming Area punted on their
    next possession but the defense
    held Northwest to a three-and-out
    and got the ball right back.
    After being stopped on their
    first three plays, WA was forced
    into a punting situation. OBrien
    took the snap and punted the ball
    deep. Jake Smith hustled down
    the field and laid a huge hit on the
    Ranger returner, who immediate-
    ly coughed up the ball, leaving
    Cody Schmitz to pick it up and
    run 27 yards for the special teams
    score. Skursky added the two-
    point conversion to push the lead
    to 22-8.
    On their next possession,
    Northwest cut the leadto22-14on
    a 16 yard post pattern at the 2:20
    mark and that was the score that
    would be taken into the half.
    We called their attention to the
    urgency, Spencer said. When
    youneedthat, youvegot toturnto
    your leaders, youve got to turn to
    your seniors and upfront I think
    the offensive line came out and
    did what we needed to do and
    OBrien took charge and when
    your leader steps up everybody
    else follows suit.
    The Warriors followed their
    leader, Nick OBrien, in the sec-
    ond half - right into the endzone.
    OBrien opened the third quar-
    ter with a 53 yard scamper to the
    Ranger six yard line. After a five
    yard run by OBrien, he took the
    ball out of the I-formation and

    He smoked a 360-foot drive,
    dropped a beautiful approach
    shot out of the skyandpositioned
    himself within three feet of a
    birdie.
    Then Brandon Matthews
    rolled his putt just outside the
    hole.
    It was that kind of day for the
    Pittston Area senior in the PIAA
    boys golf championship final.
    Looking green on the greens
    Tuesday at the same Heritage
    Hills Golf Course he owned dur-
    ing the state final a year ago,
    Matthews finishedinanseventh-
    place tie in the final state stand-
    ings with a two-day total of 152.
    "If I had the putter working to-
    day, I think I could have won this
    thing," Matthews said.
    Instead, he had to settle for
    winning a second straight state
    medal.
    Matthews accomplished that
    with a fabulous finish - and by
    getting a little of the fortune that
    had deserted him all day.
    His drive off the 17th hole
    landed in the No. 6 tee box, giv-
    ing him a clear shot overlooking
    the green.
    Matthews didnt miss, chip-
    ping his approach shot within a
    couple feet of the hole.
    Then he sank the birdie for a
    three-stroke hole that ultimately
    earned him a medal.
    "I felt like I knew I had to do
    something," Matthews said.
    "That was a very big opportuni-
    ty."
    Finally, a bit of fate played his
    way.
    For too long Tuesday, it went
    the other way for Matthews, who
    wound up 10 strokes over par for
    the two days and six strokes in
    back of the 146 that crowned this
    years state champion Garrett
    Browning of West Allegheny,
    whoalsowona state title in2009.
    A string of near-misses smack
    in the middle of play cost Mat-
    thews any hope of repeating his
    PIAA title.

    we were the first race, so we
    were right out there. We get here
    and were the fourth race and
    you just have to tune it all out

    offs to Williamsport, 4-0, on the

    ment before Williamsports Ja-
    kin Rintelman scored to give the

    put just over the
    outside lip of
    thehole- which
    left himpound-
    ing his club in-
    to the ground.
    Then everything went haywire
    on him on No. 11.
    He badly sliced his second
    shot behind a row of trees on the
    par-5 hole, then chipped out
    straight intothe rough. Matthews
    took two drops to get to the
    green, then missed a gimme putt
    for him and finished the hole
    with a double-bogey.
    He flipped out a bit over it,
    flipping his putter in disgust.
    "Its more frustrating than you
    know when I walked off the 11th
    green," Matthews said. "Id just
    missed three putts in a row, that
    (if I made) I couldhave beenone-
    under (for the day). And I could
    win this tournament."
    Instead, he was forced to win a
    spot in the top 10.
    Matthews did that with solid
    driving and a few nifty approach
    shots that salvaged a score of 77
    for the day - six-over for the final
    round.
    "Its difficult to win anything,"
    said Matthews, whos won most
    of the major tournaments hes
    played during his high school ca-
    reer. "If I had the putter for two
    days, I would have been right
    there in contention. (Finishing)
    top-10 in the state (while) not
    playing well, thats pretty good.
    Imout there having fun, no mat-
    ter what happens. Doesnt matter
    whether Implaying bad or play-
    ing great.
    "Hopefully, Ive got a great ca-
    reer ahead of me."

    Wyoming Valley West head
    football coach Pat Keating
    knew Pittston Areas record
    was 2-6 on the season. He also
    knew they were competitive in
    nearly every game they played
    thus far.
    Despite trailing 14-13 in the
    first half, the Spartans roared
    back to a 37-14 victory on Fri-
    day night at Charley Trippi Sta-
    dium in Yatesville.
    Im telling you right now,
    and we told our kids all week
    these kids at Pittston play ex-
    tremely competitive and ex-
    tremely tough, WVW Head
    Coach Pat Keating said. They
    may only have two wins, but if
    you look at their games from
    the season, they are in every
    single game. They play tough,
    they play physical and dont shy
    away from anyone.
    The Patriots received the ball
    to start the game and made the
    most of it.
    An 11-yard return from Jor-
    dan Houseman set the Patriots
    at the 35. Senior quarterback
    Anthony Schwab made his
    presence felt by connecting
    with receiver Evan Hahn for 32
    yards on the opening play, and
    Schwab didnt stop there on the
    very next play, finding a wide-
    open Houseman for the 31-yard
    touchdown. Chris Musto nailed
    the PAT and the Patriots lead
    was 7-0 less than two minutes
    into the games.
    I would have liked to have
    gone to Jordan (Houseman) a
    lot more, Pittston Area Head
    Coach Mike Barrett said.
    They were doing a nice job
    getting to the quarterbacks
    face so we couldnt get to him.
    Tashawn Bunch then intro-
    duced himself to the Patriots
    defense on the very next drive
    as he broke for a 19-yard rush
    on the first play of the drive. He
    later capped the drive with a 35-
    yard jaunt into the end zone.
    Nick Singer drilled the PAT and
    the game was knotted at 7-7.
    Later in the first. the Patriots
    were forced to punt from their

    Back in the 1980s arm wres-
    tling contender Al Price grew up
    with arm wrestling legend Val
    Myrkalo of Scranton. Over the
    years Price watched Myrkalo
    shape good arm wrestling pro-
    spects into well-known conten-
    ders, including local arm wres-
    tling guru Tom Nitro Simko of
    Suscon.
    Val wasknownastheguytogo
    to. Nobody knew more about the
    sport than him, said Price.
    Once Myrkalo retired, he sawa
    natural talent in Price and con-
    vincedhimtogive the sport a shot
    andthrowhisarmonthetable. Ev-
    er since then, Price has trained
    non-stop, becoming the best arm
    wrestler he canbe. Twoyears ago,
    Price joined the arm wrestling
    family at Dianes Deli located on
    S. Main Street Pittston.
    It was here where Price started
    training every Saturday with pro
    armwrestlers TomNitroSimko
    andLeiraunBlackIceBaldwin.
    Nitro and Ice helped me mas-
    ter techniques such as the hook
    and the top roll, said Price.
    Once Price learned some tech-
    niques he took his first third place
    trophy in the Arms of Steel 0-
    165-pound Open Right Division.
    Afewmonths later, Pricetooka
    first placeinAtlanticCityinthe0-
    154-pound Novice Right Divi-
    sion.
    Als a tank. Hes the jokester of
    the group along with being a true
    sportsman who cheers for every-
    one, said Baldwin.
    After takinga first place trophy,
    Price decided to buy his own arm
    wrestling table and train with
    Baldwin for the International
    Arm Wrestling Federations
    (IAF) 2011 PA State Arm Wres-
    tlingTournament, whichwas held
    on September 24 at Dianes Deli.
    We would train twice a week
    on the table and then hit the gym
    on the days we werent on the ta-
    ble, said Price.
    Like his mentor Myrkalo, Price
    alsodecidedtotrainhis wife Deb-
    bie Price for the Womens Open.
    The IAF State Tournament had
    63 entries, including competitors
    fromthestateof NewJersey. Price
    battledit out, winningfive match-
    es in a row. He was undefeated in
    the0-154-poundNoviceRight Di-
    vision and beat up-and-coming
    armwrestler BigBobMac, who
    was ranked number three in the
    nation, novice.
    Hes the most improved arm
    wrestler Ive ever come across in
    thesport andkeepsgettingbetter,
    said Simko.
    Als wife Debbie took first
    place in the womens open right
    becoming the first family of state
    champions at Dianes.
    Price is now currently training
    for the American Arm wrestling
    Associations (AAA) Pa State
    Arm Wrestling Tournament. The
    tournament, which will be held in
    November, is being run by PA
    State Director Chris Ratchford
    whosays Al is lookingtobe a top
    contender at the tournament.
    If Price takes first he will be the
    right hand novice state champion
    in both the IAF and AAA arm
    wrestling divisions.
    When asked how it feels to be
    the IAF state champion Price
    smileda little andsaid, Inthe end
    its all about healthy competition
    and having fun.

    Almost one year ago,
    Wyoming Valley Conference
    Division III No. 3 seed Pitt-
    ston Area was handed a 4-1
    loss by WVC Division II
    number-two seed Wyoming
    Area in the first-round of the
    District 2 Class 2A playoffs.
    This season seemed eerily
    similar as the Cross River Ri-
    vals earned the same exact
    seeds and produced almost
    the same exact result.
    The Lady Warriors played
    stellar defense and displayed
    a relentless offensive attack
    as Serra Degnan recorded a
    hat trick, and WA out shot
    Pittston Area, 20-0, on its way
    to a 4-0 victory over the Lady
    Patriots in the First-Round of
    the District 2 Class 2A play-
    offs on Tuesday afternoon at
    the Atlas Sports Complex in
    West Pittston.
    (Serra) always performs
    well. She had a hat trick in
    three games this year, and had
    four goals in one game this
    year. Shes our go-to girl for
    sure, said first-year Lady
    Warriors Head Coach Megan
    Krebs. Shes very aggres-
    sive, she gets the call, if she
    doesnt have a scoring oppor-
    tunity she does whatever she
    can to get a call for herself
    and the team.
    The Lady Warriors wasted
    no time kicking off the scor-
    ing when Brionna Murray
    played a nice through ball to a
    running Degnan who cut back
    with the ball, dribbled at the
    goal and fired one into the
    right of the cage for a 1-0 lead
    at the 25:28 mark of the first
    half.
    WA nearly pushed the lead
    to two goals just six minutes
    later when Jenna Skrinak
    ripped a shot into the top of
    the net, but it was waved off
    because it was too high with
    too many people in front of it.
    It then took more than 14
    minutes for the Lady Warriors
    to push the score to 2-0, doing

    so off of a corner when the
    ball was played out to Skrinak
    who passed it to Liv Adoni-
    zio. Adonizio fired the ball in
    front of the net where it was
    deflected in by Degnan for
    her second goal of the game
    with five minutes left in the
    half.
    The first 17 minutes of the
    second half were played back-
    and-forth between the two at-
    tacking thirds of the field,
    however neither team was
    able to turn their scoring op-
    portunities into anything sub-
    stantial. That is until Degnan
    registered her fourth hat trick
    of the year.
    The junior took a long pass
    on the sideline and attacked
    the defender making a cut and
    hitting a hard low shot which
    took a deflection off a stick
    before rolling into the goal
    for a 3-0 Wyoming Area lead
    with less than 13 minutes left
    in the game.
    The final tally of the game
    came when Murray hit a hard
    shot at PA keeper Ariel Ardo,
    who made a great kick save.
    But the ball landed right on
    the stick of Lexi Coolbaugh,
    who easily put the ball into
    the cage for a 4-0 lead and
    victory.
    We always say to the girls,
    make purposeful passes and I
    think its finally clicking with
    them, Krebs said. Every
    pass they made was to their
    own player or up the field, and
    we always tell them every
    game, up the field and up the
    sides. The sides are the best
    way to get it up the field.
    Lea Garibaldi recorded four
    saves for the Lady Patriots
    and Ardo added nine more.
    Wyoming Area (8-8) held a
    10-2 advantage in corners.
    Pittston Area finishes its
    season at 10-5.
    WA 1, Dallas 4
    Wyoming Area saw its sea-
    son come to an end in a 4-1
    loss to Dallas on Friday after-
    noon in the District 2 Class
    2A quarterfinals at Wyoming
    Seminarys Klassner Field in
    Kingston.
    The teams played scoreless
    for much of the first half be-
    fore the second-seeded Lady
    Mounts got on the board with
    a goal from Vanessa Parsons
    at the 3:44 mark.
    The Lady Warriors answer-
    ed with a Serra Degnan goal
    just 1:39 before intermission
    to even the score at 1-1. Liv
    Adonizio assisted on Deg-
    nans 15th goal of the season.
    But the WVC Division I
    fifth-place team turned it on
    in the second half, as Ashley
    Dunbar scored three goals for
    Dallas to get the win.
    Nicole Cumbo stopped six
    shots in goal for WA.
    The Lady Warriors finish
    its season at 8-9.

    dove over the line for the score to
    cap the three-play 1:06 drive and
    push the lead to 29-14.
    The first play for the Rangers
    resulted in a fumble which Corey
    Popovich dove on to give the ball
    back to the Warriors at the North-
    west15with10:32left inthethird.
    The senior had a huge night de-
    fensively, recording a team-high
    eight tackles, includingtwosacks.
    After the first three plays failed
    to pick up a first down, the War-
    riors faceda fourth-and-five from
    the10 yard line. OBrien took the
    handoff and cut outside. He
    leaped over a defender and was
    blastedout of mid-air bya Ranger
    defensive lineman. However,
    Coach Spencer decided to give
    theball right backtoOBrienwho
    ran off tackle and found a hole to
    cross the goal line for a three-yard
    touchdown pushing the Warriors
    lead to 36-14 just 3:41 into the
    half.
    It was a pretty big hit, said
    OBrienwitha smile. Its socold
    out here I didnt really feel it.
    Coachcalledthe play, I just hit the
    hole and the line did a good job
    guiding me to the endzone.
    After the defense forceda punt,
    Skursky took the first play and
    rumbledfor10.Twoplays later, he
    cut outside and went for 19 down
    totheNorthwest 22.Theverynext
    play sawOBrien cut the ball out-
    side to his left where he was in a
    footrace and used his speed to get
    the ball to the pylon with 2:59 left
    inthe third, stretchingthe Warrior
    lead to 43-14.
    After abigreturnintoWAterri-
    tory, the Warrior defense was able
    to stop the Ranger offense and
    hold them to a 27 yard field goal
    just 10 seconds into the fourth.
    After the Northwest score, the
    attempted onside kick was reco-
    veredbytheWarriors givingthem
    a short field, starting at their own
    49.Wyoming Area only needed
    seven plays to score when
    OBrien hit Zach LaNunziata in
    the flat and he took it seven yards
    for the score expanding the WA
    lead to 50-17 which is how the
    game would end.
    The Warriors (6-2) will face
    their rivals, Pittston Area, next
    weekinthefinal gameof theyear.

    50-17 victory over the Rangers on Friday night. The victory solidified a playoff berth for WA.
    own three-yard line allowing
    the Spartans to take over from
    the Patriot 25. On second-and 3
    from the 17, WVW superstar
    Eugene Lewis flew by Patriot
    defenders and went into the end
    zone for a touchdown. The
    score remained 13-7 with 4:34
    remaining, because Jake Za-
    lewski busted through the
    Spartan offensive line and
    blocked the PAT.
    The Patriots then gave the
    Spartans a scare when Schwab
    pushed his way into the end
    zone for a one-yard touchdown
    with 7:05 remaining in the first
    half. Musto split the uprights
    with the PAT and the Patriots
    lead was 14-13.
    The Patriots score was made
    possible when Houseman
    picked off Lewis and returned
    the interception 41 yards to the
    Spartans 34-yard line.
    The Patriots threat didnt last
    long as the Spartan offense
    heated up late in the second
    half. Bunch found the end zone
    yet again with 6:11 in second
    half, this time for 20 yards. Le-
    wis then completed the two-
    point conversion and the Spar-
    tans lead was 21-14.
    Lewis then found the end
    zone for the first time with 37.6
    remaining in the half. He bull-
    dozed his way into the end zone
    for the one-yard rushing touch-
    down. Singer nailed the PAT
    and the Spartans held a 28-14
    advantage as they headed to the
    locker room for half.
    Bunch made it 35-14 with a
    one yard rushing touchdown of
    his own. Singer again was suc-
    cessful on the PAT with 8:48 re-
    maining in the third quarter.
    The Spartan defense provid-
    ed the final two points for the
    Spartans when they sacked
    Schwab in his own end zone.
    The Wyoming Valley West lead
    was 37-14 with 3:56 remaining
    in the third quarter.
    The safety proved to be more
    than enough for the WVW vic-
    tory as the teams played score-
    less the rest of the way.
    We just couldnt tackle and
    that has been our Achilles heel
    all year, Barrett said. Offen-
    sively they did a nice job
    against us in the second half.
    Schwab was 11-22 for 137
    yards with one touchdown and
    two interceptions. The senior
    signal caller needs just 65 yards
    passing to reach the 1,000-yard
    mark on the season
    Hahn was the leading receiv-
    er for the Patriots with four re-
    ceptions for 68 yards. House-
    man added three receptions for
    44 yards. .
    Stankoski recovered a fum-
    ble for the Patriots. Sammy Fal-
    cone and Kyle Gattuso led the
    Patriots on defense. Romanc-
    zuk led the Patriot ground game
    with 11 carries for 43 yards.
    PA travels to West Pittston on
    Friday night to take on Wyom-
    ing Area (6-2). The Warriors
    clinched a place in the District
    2 Class 2A playoffs with their

    Entering Week 10 of the high
    school football season both
    Wyoming Area and Old Forge
    know one thing there will be a
    Week 11 for both the Warriors
    and Blue Devils.
    What the two schools do not
    knowis whotheir opponents will
    be when the District 2 playoffs
    open up on November 11.
    In Class 2A, the Warriors have
    solidified themselves with a spot
    in the four-team tournament.
    Wyoming Valley Conference ri-
    val GAR has already locked up
    the No. 1 seed in the tourney.
    Wyoming Area could clinch a
    home game and the No. 2 seed
    with a victory over Cross River
    Rival Pittston Area on Friday
    night. Aloss to the Patriots could
    put the Warriors on the road in
    Week 11 depending on what else
    occurs in the final week of play.
    The wildcard in determining
    the rest of the field as of this
    morning is that Week 9 is yet to
    be complete, including a Lacka-
    wanna Football Conference
    game between Mid Valley and
    Susquehanna that will go a long
    way in determining who plays
    who to open the playoffs. The
    Spartans and Sabers play Mon-
    day in Susquehanna.
    Susquehanna is currently the
    third team but could move into
    the No. 2 spot with wins over
    Mid Valley and Friday night at
    Old Forge. If the Sabers win out,
    the Warriors would travel to Sus-
    quehanna on Sat., Nov. 12 should
    they lose to PA. The same Sus-
    quehanna scenario with WA
    beating the Patriots would have
    the Sabers traveling to West Pitt-
    ston to take on the Warriors on
    Fri., Nov. 11.
    Now, should current No. 4
    seed Lake-Lehman upset Old
    Shoe Rival Dallas this week, the
    Black Knights could move to
    No. 2 if WA were to lose and
    Susquehanna loses one of its two
    games at the least. Aloss to Dal-
    las would have Lehman fighting
    for the final spot and a chance to
    play GAR.
    MidValleyandLakelandyes
    Lakeland also figure into the
    mix. The Chiefs are reeling late-
    ly, but they did beat the Darrell
    Crawford-less Grenadiers in
    Week 3. Should Lakeland beat
    Western Wayne on Friday night,
    the Chiefs would need Lehman
    to lose, and Susquehanna to lose
    to Old Forge on Friday night to
    get in. If Lakeland loses they
    look to be out.
    Should Mid Valley beat Sus-
    quehanna, they are in position to
    finish with the No. 3 seed if both
    Lakeland and Lehman lose. That
    would mean the Spartans travel
    to Wyoming Area in Week 11.
    But the Spartans finish No. 4 if
    they fall to Susquehanna, and
    Lakeland loses.
    Whew, that was a mouthful.
    All that said here are my pro-
    jections for the Class 2Atourna-
    ment:
    3-Lakeland (6-4) at
    2-Wyoming Area (7-2)
    4-Susquehanna (6-4) at
    1-GAR (9-1)
    Class 1A
    In Class 1A, things are a little
    clearer. The field is set with only
    seedings to be determined.
    Dunmore is the clear cut No. 1
    team, and projects to finish un-
    beaten heading into the district
    playoffs. The Bucks do play Riv-
    erside on Friday night in what
    could be the first of back-to-
    back games between the teams.
    The Vikings are currently No.
    4 and should remain there. Even
    if Riverside were to upset Dun-
    more, they could do no better
    than the fourth-seed unless
    Lackawanna Trail was upset by
    Holy Cross in Week 10. Should
    that happen, Riverside moves in-
    to the third slot ahead of the Li-
    ons, and face a return trip to Old
    Forge.
    Now, if the Blue Devils - who
    were set toplayHolyCross today
    at 2 p.m. weather permitting -
    win out, they are set to earn the
    No. 2 spot and host Trail or Riv-
    erside. A loss to either Holy
    Cross today or Susquehanna on
    Friday could push Old Forge to
    the No. 3 spot, and a trip to Tun-
    nel Hill if Trail beats Holy Cross
    as expected on Friday.
    If Old Forge were to lose both
    its remaining games they would
    remain No. 3 unless Riverside
    beats Dunmore. That wouldsend
    the Blue Devils to Bucktown in
    Week 11.
    Northwest and Holy Cross
    have been mathematically elim-
    inated from the district playoffs.
    Here are my projections for
    the Class 1A tournament:
    3-Trail (7-3) at
    2-Old Forge (8-2)
    4-Riverside (6-4) at
    1-Dunmore (10-0)

    Ina game that couldbe consid-
    ered as the game of the year in
    the Wyoming Valley Confer-
    ence, WyomingArea hadtrouble
    stopping the best player in Divi-
    sion AA/A, GARs Darrell
    Crawford.
    But the Warriors had bigger
    problems not stopping them-
    selves as two second-half fum-
    bles allowed Crawford to out
    duel WA quarterback Nick
    OBrien last Saturday night in a
    37-30 win over Wyoming Area
    at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Sta-
    dium in South Wilkes-Barre.
    The loss by Wyoming Area all
    but assured the Grenadiers will
    be the top seed in when the Dis-
    trict 2 Class 2Aplayoffs open up
    in three weeks.
    Thats the waythe ball bounc-
    es and those are the things you
    have to manage especially in big
    games, said WA Head Coach
    Randy Spencer about the two
    costly turnovers. Games that
    are going to come down to this
    small of a margin for victory,
    those are the things you definite-
    ly have to take care of to be suc-
    cessful.
    The Grenadiers got on the
    board first, scoring on a 17-yard
    post pattern as Crawford hit Sha-
    liek Power less than three min-
    utes into the game. Crawford
    would throwfor two touchdowns
    and run for three more on the
    night.
    However, the Warriors would
    answer right back.
    Taking advantage of GARs
    spotty run defense, Wyoming
    Area ran the ball eight times, in-
    cluding a bruising 20-yard run
    by Jeff Skursky and a 21-yard
    scamper by Corey Popovich. Fi-
    nally, Nick OBrien faked the
    handoff at the 17-yard line,
    sprinted up the middle, cut to his
    right and bounced off of a de-
    fender and into the endzone.
    Skursky went over the top of the
    line for the two-point conversion
    and an 8-7 lead at the 5:15 mark
    of the first quarter.
    The Warriors recovered the
    ensuing kickoff, when the ball
    was chipped over the first line of
    Grenadiers and Cody Schmitz
    hustled down the line to dive on
    it before it rolled out of bounds.
    However, the drive stalled at the
    10 yard line and a missed field
    goal kept the Warriors lead at
    one with 1:53 left in the quarter.
    GAR used the rest of the first
    quarter and three and a half min-
    utes of the second quarter before
    Crawford found the endzone
    again and converted for two to
    take a 15-8 lead with 8:29 left in
    the half.
    After a 26-yard kick return by
    Ahmad Bouie, Kintz ran for five
    on the first play of the drive then
    Skursky for 12 and six to get to
    the GAR 36. OBrien then took
    the snap and rolled right. He
    stumbled and it looked as if he
    was going to get caught frombe-
    hind but the speedy junior reco-
    vered and got himself to the edge
    where he turned on the burners
    and split the defenders going 36
    yards untouched to paydirt. The
    four-play, 59 yard drive took1:17
    and knotted the game at 15 with
    6:52 left in the half.
    GAR answered back to re-
    claimthe lead on their next drive
    when they connected on a 35-
    yard fly pattern from Crawford
    to tailback Lucas Benton.
    Down 22-15, Bouie made the
    Grenadiers pay for kicking the
    ball away fromOBrien. He took
    the kickoff and found himself
    sprinting down the sideline for
    63 yards before being horse-col-
    lared by the last defender at the
    GAR20. The half the distance to
    the goal penalty gave the War-
    riors the ball on the10 and it only
    took two Skursky carries to re-
    ach the endzone. Skursky added
    a two-point run to take back the
    lead 23-22 with 2:48 left in the
    half.
    GAR moved the ball to the
    Warrior 26 before lining up for a
    field goal with only a few sec-
    onds left in the half. The Grena-
    diers attempted the fake but WA
    read it perfectly and Justin Lang-
    don came up with the intercep-
    tion and had a lot of running
    room in front of him. Langdon
    sprinted down the sideline be-
    fore being cut off by the last de-
    fender, who made a touchdown
    saving tackle, and the Warriors
    went into the half with a 23-22
    lead.
    Wyoming Area got the ball af-
    ter the half andwent right backto
    their game plan of pounding the
    rock right at the GAR defense.
    Popovich went for four and
    then OBrien for two and Skur-
    sky for one bringing up fourth-
    and-two from the GAR 49. The
    Warriors who didnt have a sin-
    gle negative yardage play until
    the fourth quarter were confi-
    dent in their ability to pick up
    one yard and decided to go for it.
    The handoff went to Popovich
    whopickedupthe first downand
    more as he ran over defenders,
    picking up14 yards before being
    stripped by GAR. The Grenadier
    defender jumped on the ball and
    took over possession at the War-
    rior 36-yard line.
    The turnover proved costly as
    GARconvertedthe fumble intoa
    Crawford touchdown and two-
    point conversion to take a 30-23
    lead with 7:36 left in the third
    quarter.
    The Warriors ensuing posses-
    sion was once again run-laden as
    they moved the ball fromtheir 37
    to the GAR nine before the usu-
    ally reliable Skursky coughed up
    the ball and gave it back to the
    Grenadiers at the 1:33 mark of
    the third.
    GAR took advantage of the
    Wyoming Area misfortune as
    they drove 93 yards for their fifth
    score of the game as Crawford
    cashed in from25 yards out. The
    back-to-back scores gave the
    VA R S I T Y F O O T B A L L
    Turnovers costly in Warriors loss to GAR
    Two second-half fumbles too much to overcome in 37-30 defeat

    Mentor Doe Hunt is not quite
    the name of the season. Its a col-
    lective name of all of the deer
    hunting seasons where a young
    prospective hunter can harvest a
    doe. A recent change in the law
    nowallows for a mentored young
    hunter to harvest an antlerless
    deer by using the license of the
    adult they are hunting with. The
    idea behindit is toallowa mentor
    (adult, licensedhunter) togive up
    one of their antlerless deer licens-
    es to a youngster (under 12 years
    of age) involved in the mentored
    hunting program.
    I wasnt quite sure just how
    many people would take advan-
    tage of the new law but now Im
    convincedits a success. We start-
    ed receiving photos of young
    hunters with their antlerless deer
    shortly after the archery season
    began. Fathers and other mentors
    were happily giving up one of
    their licenses in order for a
    youngster to tag their first deer.
    The number of photos sent to
    Pennsylvania Outdoor Life qua-
    drupled after the three day youth
    antlerless hunt held two weeks
    ago. Once again we received
    photos of nine, ten and eleven
    year olds proudly sitting by their
    harvest.
    The decision as to what age is
    old enough or too young is up to
    the parent or legal guardian. I
    have hunted turkeys with a more
    than qualified nine year old and I
    have seen some very immature
    eleven year olds who I wouldnt
    hunt with. The choice has been
    left up to the parent at hand. I just
    hope they consider the individu-
    als maturity level at the time.
    Non-the-less the new law is a
    winner in my books. If you dont
    believe me, watch Pennsylvania
    Outdoor Life tonight at 6:30 and
    see the smiles on the kids faces
    as they show off their antlerless
    trophies. It is important to re-
    member that a mentored youth
    may only receive one antlerless
    deer license each license year.
    The antlerless deer license trans-
    ferred to the mentored youth
    must be for the Wildlife Manage-
    ment Unit in which the adult
    mentor and youth are hunting.
    The antlerless change is in ad-
    dition to the buck season for
    youngsters already in place. For
    antlereddeer, thementoredyouth
    must use legal sporting arms for
    that season. For example, a bow
    or crossbowmust be used during
    archery antlered deer season. Al-
    so, those youths participating in
    the Mentored Youth Hunting
    Program(MYHP) are requiredto
    follow the same antler restric-
    tions as a junior license holder,
    which is one antler of three or
    more inches in length or one an-
    tler with at least two points.
    The other regulations require
    that the youth to adult ratio be
    one-to-one, and that the pair pos-
    sesses only one sporting arm
    whenhunting. Whilemoving, the
    sporting arm must be carried by
    the mentor. When the pair reac-
    hes a stationary hunting location,
    the mentor may turn over posses-
    sion of the sporting arm to the
    youth and must keep the youth
    within arms length at all times.
    The programalso requires that
    both the mentor and the youth
    must abide by any fluorescent or-
    ange regulations, and that the
    mentored youth must tag and re-
    port any deer or spring gobbler
    taken. As part of the MYHP per-
    mit (which you can get online)
    every hunter will be provided the
    necessary harvest tags for an-
    tlered deer and spring gobbler,
    but must use the adult mentors
    antlerless deer harvest tag.
    I do believe that the push to get
    youngsters involved in the hunt-
    ing and fishing sports is not only
    a healthy idea for the formation
    of family values and sportsman-
    ship, it is necessary to keep our
    outdoor heritage alive in Penn-
    sylvania. Get involved if you can
    andinvest inthefutureof outdoor
    sports. I think its worth the time.
    White Nose
    Syndrome update
    I promised to keep you up to
    date on the loss of bats in Penn-
    sylvania due to white nose syn-
    drome. While the cure is still far
    away, a team of scientists includ-
    ing Bucknell biology professor
    Dee Ann Reeder has identified
    the deadly fungus that causes
    white-nose syndrome in bats.
    This discovery is very important
    in the effort to prevent extinction
    of the nocturnal creatures in east-
    ern North America.
    Researchers have proven that
    Geomyces destructans, the tell-
    tale white fungus found on sick
    bats, led to white-nose syndrome
    in otherwise healthy hibernating
    bats. This was proven on both
    those bats artificially infected
    with the fungus and those that
    shared a hibernation space with
    bats that contracted the condition
    naturally. The big question now
    is, what can be done to prevent
    the spread and possible extinc-
    tionof certaincave dwellingbats.
    InPennsylvania, bats spendsix
    months out of theyear inhiberna-
    tion, living off their stored food
    supply. Most of this supply is
    fromconsuming massive quanti-
    ties of flying insects. White nose
    syndrome, now called Gd (Geo-
    myces destructans) irritates the
    deep-sleeping bats, forcing them
    out of their hibernation stupor,
    which requires increased energy
    consumption from a reserve that
    barely sustains them through
    winter. Most of them often die,
    regardless of whether the bat
    stays put or flies out into the
    harsh winter weather looking for
    food that isnt there. Although
    some hibernacula have been
    scorched by Gd and remain ab-
    sent of all bat life, there have been
    some bats that have survived at
    some contaminated caves and
    mines in Pennsylvania and New
    York for several years. This fact
    gives researchers hope for a po-
    tential sign of resistance.
    It is still too early to tell what
    can be done to save the bats, but
    now that they know the cause,
    they can look for a cure. I have
    faith in the brilliant minds be-
    hinds this research. I will keep
    you posted.
    Be sure to watch Pennsylvania
    Outdoor Life tonight at 6:30 on
    WNEP-TV. Well take you to
    Schuylkill Countyonrabbit hunt.
    Join us as we tag along with
    Northern Tier Outfitters and
    their four beagles. We will also
    have an edition of Pennsylvania

    ful mentored doe hunters. Have a

    Grenadiers a twopossessionlead
    with 9:43 left in the game.
    However, the Warriors did not
    quit after the two costly turn-
    overs.
    With the ball at their own 41,
    OBrien scrambled for five be-
    fore hitting Grove for 30 yards to
    the GAR 34. After two OBrien
    carries and an incomplete pass,
    WA found themselves facing a
    fourth-and-six. OBrien took the
    snap and hung in the pocket but
    no one came open, he rolled to
    his left and lofted a pass just be-
    fore taking a big hit from the de-
    fensive lineman. The pass land-
    ed in the hands of a wide-open
    Grove for 13 yards to the 17. On
    the very next play, OBrien ran
    up the middle and collided with
    the umpire at the10 yard line. He
    bounced off him and took the
    play outside and into the end-
    zone to cut the lead to 37-30 with
    6:45 left in the game.
    The Grenadiers took the ball
    back at the 6:36 mark and looked
    to try to run the clock out. How-
    ever, Wyoming Area was able to
    force a fumble that was jumped
    on by Zack LaNunziata, giving
    the Warriors a shot at eveningthe
    score.
    With 1:34 and no timeouts,
    OBrien hit LaNunziata on a
    swing pass for minus-two yards
    and then was sacked for mi-
    nus-12 yards. With 30 seconds
    left and facing a third-and-24,
    OBrien fired a pass deep but it
    was intercepted to end the game.
    We have to refocus, said
    Spencer about what lies ahead
    for the Warriors. You have two
    games left in your regular sea-
    son, you have a district playoff
    birth in the balance, so you have
    to refocus. Our kids will be back.
    We will work hard.

    woman who lives in this room
    is Mary Bellas, born March 2,
    1924, to Pietro and Angeline
    Candelora Rosetti, who emi-
    grated from Campobasso, in
    the Molise region of Italy. Ma-
    ry was the sixth child to Ange-
    line, who gave birth to eight
    children. Marys older brother,
    Victor, died in infancy in the
    Great Flu Epidemic of 1918.
    When Mary was 9 years old,
    her father was crushed in a
    mining accident that left him
    paralyzed. He died not long af-
    ter, leaving Marys mother, An-
    geline, a widow at the age of
    45, with seven children to
    raise. Mary left school in the
    seventh grade to help support
    her family. She went to work in
    a dress factory where she
    stayed for 35 years. She
    worked as a "waistmaker," a
    job that required great skill. On
    July 4, 1944, Mary married a
    boy from Duryea, James Bel-
    las, whom she had met on a
    blind date. After James return-
    ed fromOkinawa, Japan, where
    he had been stationed during
    the war, they bought a home in
    West Pittston which became
    the family homestead. Mary
    gave birth to their son, James,
    on January 19, 1946; four years
    later, their daughter, Charlene,
    was born. Mary continued to
    work in the dress factory until
    the 1960s when she left to be-
    come a full-time homemaker.
    Her sewing skills, however,
    went with her. She made cur-
    tains, pillows, doll-clothes,
    shirts and dresses -- whenever
    anyone had an event for which
    they needed something special
    to wear, Mary fashioned some-
    thing beautiful. In 1967, Ma-
    rys first grandchild, Cheri Lin,
    was born. Mary and James rev-
    eled in the job of grand parent-
    ing. Cassandra, Kimberly,
    Christine, Luisa and finally,
    her only grandson, Luke, fol-
    lowed. Sadly, however, in 1981,
    James died suddenly of a mas-
    sive heart attack, leaving Mary
    a widow at 57 and her life dras-
    tically changed. She mourned,
    but managed to continue her
    day-to-day existence.
    She was eventually blessed
    with nine great-grandchildren,
    Kendra, David and Benjamin,
    Sebastian and Sara, Honor, An-
    thony and Brianna, and Sama-
    ra. Just a few months ago, Ma-
    ry was even blessed with a
    great-great-granddaughter,
    Lillianna. Throughout the
    years, Mary struggled to main-
    tain her home, refusing to leave
    the place she and her husband
    had shared for so many years.
    After a series of falls, Mary
    eventually ended up at High-
    land Manor. Although Marys
    hearing and vision failed over
    the last few years of her life,
    she remained who she had al-
    ways been, a feisty, talented,
    devoted wife and mother. She
    is a person who traveled quite a
    journey through this life.
    She was also preceded in
    death by brothers, Samuel, Ni-
    cholas, Louis; and her sister,
    Genevieve Bolock.
    Surviving besides her chil-
    dren, James Bellas; daughter-
    in-law; Connie Bellas and
    Charlene Berti; son-in law,
    Louis Berti; grandchildren,
    great-grandchildren, great-
    great grandchild; sisters, An-
    geline Bonito and Josephine
    Marriott, and several nieces
    and nephews.

    sweater day; Thursday, Nov. 3, is

    said, Over the last couple of
    years weve had different themes
    that are dress code approved, the
    ones people liked we keep, ones
    people do not like get changed
    the next year.
    In addition to themed days,
    many other events occur over the
    course of spirit week. On Tues-
    day, Nov. 1, the Goodwill Lun-
    cheon will be held at Fox Hill
    Country Club. The luncheon, for
    representatives and officers of
    the football and cheerleading
    teams, band, senior class offi-
    cers, and Student Council and
    Key Clubs from both Pittston
    and Wyoming Areas, is an op-
    portunity to show that it is a
    friendly rivalry, and in the end,
    Pittston Area and Wyoming Ar-
    ea students are all one communi-
    ty.
    In addition, the bon fire and
    public pep rally will take place

    As part of National Teen Driv-
    er Safety Week, Wyoming Area
    High School students and offi-
    cials joined PennDOT to remind
    teen drivers and their parents/
    guardians to be aware of the be-
    haviors that cause most teen
    driver crashes. Teen driver safety
    information was distributed dur-
    ing lunch last week at the event,
    which was spearheaded by WAs
    student council.
    Joining PennDOT was the
    Northeast Highway Safety Pro-
    gram.
    According to the National In-
    stitute of Child Health and Hu-
    man Development, the highest
    risk of a crash occurring is in the
    first six months and 1,000 miles
    of driving. Some key contrib-
    utors to crashes involving teen
    drivers in Pennsylvania include
    driver inexperience and driver
    distractions.
    Congress established National
    Teen Driver Safety Week last
    year in response to the more than
    5,000 teens who died in teen
    driver-related crashes on U.S.
    roads in 2006. National Teen
    Driver Safety Week is held the
    third week of October to raise
    awareness about teens elevated
    crash risks and to highlight the
    issue of teen driver safety.

    Executive Order 11988 and by Section 2
    (b) of Executive Order 11990 for the Pro-
    tection of Wetlands (HUD Regulations
    found at 24 CFR 55.20(b)), the City of
    Pittston is requesting public comment on
    its proposal to spend funds provided
    through the Pennsylvania Department of
    Community and Economic Development
    (DCED) under the Small Cities Community
    Development Block Grant (CDBG) on the
    activity designated below, which may be
    located (or affect areas) within the 100-
    year floodplain. The City is reviewing its
    program for the effects on floodwater, for
    alternatives to floodplain development and
    for consistency with federal, state and
    local policies and regulations on flood
    management.
    Citywide Spot Demolition
    Program (multi-year)
    CDBG funds will be used to demolish
    deteriorated residential structures locat-
    ed throughout the city. This project will
    improve living conditions in Pittston by
    mitigating blight and increasing the safety
    of residents through the removal of dan-
    gerous, dilapidated homes. Specific sites
    are yet to be identified.
    Any questions about the project or
    requests for additional information should
    be directed as identified below. Issues
    raised during the course of the review will
    be integrated into the decision-making
    process. The City anticipates completing
    its review within 15 days of the date of the
    publication of this notice. A second notice
    describing the Citys findings and public
    explanation of its decision will be pub-
    lished in this paper on or after 15 days
    from the date of the publication of this
    notice. A subsequent seven-day period
    will be permitted to the public for com-
    ments on the decision. This notice with a
    request for comment was mailed to the
    regional office of the Federal Emergency
    Management Agency, the state Depart-
    ment of Environmental Protection and the
    PA Department of Community and Eco-
    nomic Development.
