Because they know I teach in
college, people often ask me:
what are young people like
today? My answer is always the
same: theyre nice.
The students I encounter at
Luzerne County Community
College and this particularly
applies to the last several years
are generally nice, good-
hearted people. And they are
extremely nice to each other. In
23 years of teaching and I
suppose I should be knocking
on wood as I say this I have
never heard a single student
raise a voice in anger toward
another student. Thats probably
hard to believe, but its true.
Dont confuse nice with
friendly, however. Not that the
students I see are not friendly,
they just dont tend to bother
with each other. You can walk
into a classroom of more than
20 students and hear dead si-
lence. No one will be engaged
in conversation. Theyll all be
texting or staring straight ahead
with iPods plugged into their
ears.
What happened to flirting? I
often think.
Here are a few other observa-
tions on young people:
They have horrendous En-
glish skills. Every one of my
students is a high school gradu-
ate, but if I tell them not to end
a sentence with a preposition,
the next thing I have to do is
teach them what a preposition
is. I wish I were kidding.
The common mistakes
confusing their, there and
theyre, or its and its have
always been around, but of late
I find almost no student uses
the word than. Its always
then. I am constantly explain-
ing, I know it sounds like then
when we say it, but the word is
than. One student told me he
never heard of the word than.
I wish he were kidding.
And forget punctuation. Most
students are clueless about the
usage of commas, quotation
marks, colons and semi-colons.
But they do like the exclama-
tion point. It appears at the end
of every sentence. Must be a
texting thing!
Then theres the spoken word.
My dad grew up on a farm in
the 30s and quit school in
eighth grade but he spoke better
English than most of my stu-
dents. And while he was a salty
army veteran who spent five
years fighting in World War II,
he swore about ten percent as
much as they do. I never once
heard my dad use the f-word.
But at the college, I can over-
hear it ten times in a conversa-
tion between two students. And
they could be two girls.
Thats improving, however.
Once in an 8 a.m. class more
than ten years ago, I asked the
students how many had heard
the f-word so far that day. Ev-
ery hand went up. Then I asked
how many had said it. Almost
every hand went up. A moment
later a girl in the back said, Oh
my God, it was the first word
out of my mouth this morning.
The alarm went off and I said f
I asked that same question a

couple of weeks ago and just a
few students raised their hands.
Even more shocking might
be this: hardly any of my stu-
dents smoke. In a class of 20
students, there might be three
or four who light up. Dont
know if they are getting smarter
or just broke.
Another observation: young
people are exhausted.
When I was in college
more than 40 years ago hard-
ly anyone had a part-time job.
Today, its not unusual for a
full-time student to also be
working 30 to 40 hours a week.
I feel sorry for them. But not
always. One day, when I greet-
ed a student first thing in the
morning with how ya doin?
and she said tired, I respon-
ded with, I feel so sorry for
you guys who are going to
school full-time trying to better
your lives and working almost
full-time at a job. To which she
responded, Yeah, and then you
get a call at midnight that
theres this party going on.
Yes, young people are ex-
hausted. But part of that is
because they never go to bed.
In spite of the rigors of work
and school, most of my stu-
dents are up until 3 a.m. every
night playing video games, or
watching TV, or here comes
that word again texting.
One day a young man told
me he was up late texting back
and forth with his girlfriend for
more than two hours.
Why didnt you call her and
talk on the phone? I asked.
He looked at me like that was
the dumbest thing hed ever
heard.
Now, before you go saying
Im knocking young people, let
me add that I know why they
are this way.
Its us my generation, who
are now their grandparents, and
my generations kids, who are
their parents. We made them
this way. Or, at the least, we
allowed it.
These young people have
every right to blame us.
But they dont.
Why? Because theyre so
darned nice.

Scrappy describes them.
Both the church and the box-
ing program it hosts.
And Pastor Samuel Washing-
ton of Perspective Church on
Broad Street wouldnt have it
any other way.
Same for head boxing coach
Jim Scarantino. The program,
Jim of Gyms, was even named
after him.
Scarantino, 44, of Pittston, and
his son, Vinny, 16, have been
with the programsince its incep-
tion at the YMCA. Soon the pro-
gramleft the YMCAandfounda
new home at Perspective
Church. And nowit is set for an-
other move.
Weve grown out of the base-
ment of the church, Washington
said. It really took off and now
we need more room.
JimScarantino said his love of
boxing started at a gym where
his dad trained him. But then he
strayed away and got into some
trouble.
I wanted to keep my boy from
taking the same path I did, he
said. So now Im training him
like my dad trained me and keep-
ing him out of trouble.
Vinny, a junior at Pittston Area
High School in Yatesville, start-
ed boxing at the age of 4.
First we started sparring and
traveling, Vinny Scarantino
said. Then we wound up here.
Now Vinny is boxing on ama-
teur cards all over the state.
Hes boxed in Allentown, Phi-
ladelphia, Bethlehem, Pott-
stown, even the New York State
Fair. He hopes to go to Golden
Gloves and then pro.
My boy can rumble, Jim
says. Hes a good fighter. He
looks small, but hes powerful.
Vinny boxes as Lil Paz.
The Scarantinos became
friends with Italian-American
former lightweight and light
middleweight world champion
Vinny Pazienza. He boxed under
the nickname of The Pazma-
nian Devil. Vinny boxes under
the named Little Paz in honor
of their friend.
William Feliaciano, 28, of
Wilkes-Barre, had a rough time
as a kid, and really didnt find
himself until he started coming
to boxing nights.
Afriend brought me here, he
said. I came here and I found a
family.
Feliaciano, a single parent
originally from Oswego, N.Y.,
works several jobs including re-
modeling, basement water-
proofing, hair cutting and auto
mechanics.
His 4-year-old daughter, Nata-
lia, spends time at the preschool
inside the church.
The people here believed in
me when I didnt believe in my-
self, he said.
After some hard work, train-
ing and guidance by Pastor
WashingtonandCoachScaranti-
no, he said hes finally in a good
place with his life.
I got a trophy, a medal and ev-

Pittston City hasnt had a po-
lice dog in almost two decades.
But that may soon change, if
city officials can raise $20,000.
Patrolman Joseph Galeski, an
8-year veteran of the Pittston Po-
lice Department, is spearheading
a fundraising campaign and
plans to be the dogs handler and
partner.
The German Shepherd or Bel-
gian Malinois would be trained
in narcotic detection and patrol
operations.
The city manager, police chief,
a firefighter, mayor and council
members had a brainstorming
session Thursday night to come
up with a plan to raise the cash.
Councilman Michael Lombar-
dosaidthe citycant afforda dog,
so all the cash must be raised in-
dependently of the citys budget.
We dont have the abilitytogo
out and just buy the dog, Lom-
bardo said. We have some pretty
community minded people in
this roomandwere willingtoput
the effort in to raise the money.
The cost of the dog and train-
ing of Galeski is $14,000. The
cost of accessories, adapting a
police vehicle with a cage, dog
accessories and dog food, brings
the initial cost to $20,000.
Well be looking for dona-
tions, Lombardo said. Maybe a
bigger store can donate dog food
or an auto care facility will help
with the air conditioning.
Already in the works is a letter
being sent to all local businesses.
Were looking to ask local
businesses to help us, said Pitt-
ston Police Chief Robert Powers.
Its going to benefit them. The
more drug related arrests we
make is less crime we have.
Dr. Inayatullah H. Kathio of
the Pittston Animal Hospital of-
fered the department free veter-
inary services for the dog. The
veterinary costs, you wont have
to worry about, Kathio said.
Kathio said a dog would be a
valuable asset to the department.
A dog has a tendency to sniff
things that humans cant detect,
he said. And they can hear a
watch ticking 40 feet away. They
have amazing senses.
Galeski wrote the letter asking
the businesses for help.
Our department would also
commit to assisting our neigh-
boring communities on an as-
needed basis, making this a re-
gional asset, Galeski wrote.
Lombardo said the dog would
be available to other local police
departments.
We dont just look at it as a
Pittston City thing, we see it as a
Greater Pittston asset, Lombar-
do said.
Galeski said the department
would be using a local trainer,
Paul Price of North East Police
K-9 Academy in Wilkes-Barre
Township, to coordinate the
training.
Training would last between 6
and 8 weeks. Classroom instruc-
tion is done daily through multi-
media methods and each handler
will accumulate a training
manual. Academics play a sub-
stantial roll in the training course
and each student is required to
participate in the classroom and
pass applicable tests designed to
reinforce the instruction. Fields
and hands-on training make up
the remainder of the instruction
time.
Officials already asked for
help from the Luzerne County
District Attorneys office and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
regarding drug forfeiture money.
Several fundraising ideas gen-
erated were coin drops, mini
market change banks, a spaghetti
dinner, a 5K race, a night at the
races, guest bartending at a local
bar for tips, spaghetti dinner or a
T-shirt sale. The group will move
forward with a coin drop for sev-
eral hours on Saturday morning,
Oct. 27.
Frank Cawley of the fire de-
partment said the department
would offer support with one
night at the beer stand at the fire-
house during the Tomato Festival
to help with yearly costs.
It should be an easy thing to
raise moneyfor, Lombardosaid.
People love animals. People
want tosupport the police depart-
ment. Its something that people
would get behind.
An account was set up at
UFCW Credit Union. Any con-
tributions should be made paya-
ble to Pittston City K-9 Fund,
35 Broad St., Pittston, 18640.
Lombardo stressed that any-
one whodonates shouldknowits
going directly to the police dog
fund, not into the general police
budget or the city accounts.
Chief Powers said a dog would
be invaluable to the department.
Its a great tool to have, theres
no doubt about it.
Pittston City has had two dogs
in the past, a bomb-sniffing dog
and a drug/patrol dog. Both of
those dogs were retired.
Apolice dog is a hallmark of a
progressive city, Joe Moskovitz,
city manager, said.
City officials hope to raise $20,000 to bring a drug/patrol dog on to the police force
Pittston seeking K-9 patrol

ston City K-9 Fund, 35 Broad St.,

HOW TO HEL P
eryones respect.
The small boxing group start-
ed at the Greater Pittston YM-
CA.
After the YMCA cut the pro-
gram, Scarantino turned to
Washington and they moved into
the basement of the Perspective
Church.
The area houses a child day-
care program during the day.
Washington said its a very,
very, very diverse environment
at Jim of Gyms.
Washington has some kick-
boxing and martial arts in his
background, but he never boxed
in a ring. So when I met them,
they had a core of young kids
that were part of the program, so
we took them in.
Jevon Moore, also 28, sparred
with Jose Castillo in the ring for
a bit.
Moore followed Washington
from New Jersey, where the
church was originally founded.
Now hes following Washing-
ton spiritually and Scarantino in
the ring. Imtrying to see where
boxing takes me, Moore said.
Im going to do whatever (Sca-
rantino) tells me to do.
Moore, Scarantino said, will
go pro. Hes going to go pro,
eventually, Scarantino said.
Hes definitely good enough.
Jim of Gyms hasnt asked for
donations in the past, but will
start because the program is
growing. Even so, they wont
turn anyone away that cant af-
ford it. We didnt know it was
going to be this successful,
Washington said.
The program will soon be
moving to a new building on
River Road in Plains Township.
There they will incorporate Jim
of Gyms and the churchs dance
program, Dance Peace, under the
umbrella Perspective Athletic
Center.
I thought Jimwould lose kids
by coming into the church base-
ment, Washington said. But
we actually gained kids when we
brought it into the church.
The group has more than 40
members.
The preschool by day is trans-
formed into a gymthree nights a
week, Sunday, Tuesday and
Thursday.
Most of the kids we dont
push to fight, Washington said.
He said children and young
adults show up for a variety of
reasons. Fromaerobics and exer-
cise, to hanging out with their
friends and getting off the
streets. From weight loss to
dreams of professional boxing,
each kid has their own reason for
coming. But all are welcome,
Washington stressed.
A lot of it is teaching people
how not to fight, Washington
said. How to restrain them-
selves. How to discipline them-
selves. Save the aggression for
the right places.

Some of these dogs have seen
better days.
At Traceys Hope Hospice and
Animal Rescue in Duryea, they
hope to bring peace to the final
days of a dogs life.
Twoconstants at the shelter are
Olivia, a black Labrador Retriev-
er mix that suffers from demen-
tia, and Chloe, a yellow Labra-
dor Retriever pure breed that suf-
fers froma severe skin condition
and she may have cancer. Both
are not adoptable and are in the
facilitys long-term hospice pro-
gram.
Both dogs waddled out on the
porch to greet guests and pose
for some photos.
These dogs are so precious,
so loving, said center executive
director Denise Kumor. These
are the types of dogs we see
here.
Traceys Hope is the only such
hospice in the state. Kumor said
they try to keep the pet comfort-
able and offer up some love.
Every dog has a story, she
said.
A fundraiser for the organiza-
tion is planned for Saturday in
Dickson City.
Currently, the agency has sev-
en dogs up for adoption and 10
dogs in hospice care.
Traceys Hope does a lot more
than just hospice care.
It is alsoa no-kill rescue, adop-
tionandfoster care service. They
alsooffer pet loss support servic-
es, euthanization performed in
the home of the pet owner, ani-
mal rescue for elderly and termi-
nally ill pets, home-environment
boarding, help reunite lost pets
with their owners and participate
in investigations and court hear-
ings concerning dog abuse.
They only have a veterinarian
perform euthanasia if there is no

At the West Wyoming bor-
ough council meeting on Mon-
day, Ferretti Drive residents
Cynthia Kennelly and Charles
Umphred asked
borough council
to do something
about the noise
emanating from
Russells Hauling
and Recycling.
The couple says
the business is a
junkyard and that
it is ruining their
enjoyment of
their backyard.
Kennelly and
Umphred live in a
home in a cul-de-
sac at the endof of
Ferretti Drive.
Russells business
is on Apollo
Drive which runs perpendicular
to Ferretti. The roads are separat-
ed by a 20-foot buffer of woods.
The Kennelly-Umphred home is
about 300 to 500 yards from
Russells business, which is in an
area zoned M3, or heavy indus-
trial.
Joe Russell, the owner of the
business, describes the business
as a metal recycling and transfer
business and said his business is
not a typical junkyard in that
they dont stockpile vehicles and
sell parts. But according to the
Luzerne County Zoning Board
ordinance the business does
meet the definition of a junkyard
and as such needs a special ex-
ceptiontooperate eveninthe M3
zone where it is amid seven other
businesses.
Russell applied for the excep-
tion and a hearing was held earli-
er this month before the Luzerne
County Zoning Board. The
boards decision
is due on No-
vember 5.
Russell said
while the work
he and his em-
ployees neces-
sarily makes
some noise, he
and his employ-
ees only work
outside in the
yard between 10
a.m. and 4:30
p.m. and that the
noise is not
above the deci-
bel level that
would make it
illegal.
They made noise complaints
on me when we werent even
open, Russell said.
West WyomingCode Enforce-
ment Officer Tom Roccograndi
verified that claim. At Mondays
borough meeting he talked to a
Times Leader reporter and said,
When the police went, no one
was there.
Roccograndi said he also vis-
ited the sight and has not wit-
nessed code violations.
Three decibel readings were
entered into evidence at the hear-
ing and two of the three found no
violation. Russell said he spent
$5,600 to hire an expert to mea-
sure the decibel level and that it
was below legal requirements,
which according to a borough
ordinance is 86 decibels at 50
feet.
West Wyoming police officer
JasonSlatcoff alsotooka decibel
reading which was below nui-
sance level. He was here and
said, okay run your heaviest
equipment and he measured it.
He did that on several occa-
sions, Russell said.
Umphred also paid for an in-
dependent decibel study which
was entered into evidence and
which concluded the noise was
above nuisance level.
Videos apparently shot by
Kennelly from her deck which
pick up unidentified noise were
also entered into evidence. The
videos cab be seen and heard on
youtube.
Russell said Umphred has also
accused him of polluting a near-
by pond and the air by smelting
aluminum, but the pond and the
business have been inspected by
DEP and OSHA and Russells
has never been cited for any
types of violations.
Russell said OSHAput a body
monitor on him to measure pol-
lutants from the smelting and
found nothing. We only smelt
clean aluminum, nothing paint-
ed, Russell said. The painted
stuff gets sent out.
The smelter runs on propane
and Russell said emissions from
it are comparable to a home fur-
nace.
Russell said Umphred and
Kennelly are harassing him.
Once, according to Russell, a
group of people which Russell
assumed were at a party at
Umphreds loudly chanted ob-
scenities and his name.
Russell who has five em-
ployees, one of whom has 10
children issued a challenge to
West Wyoming residents who
are concerned about his busi-
ness. Come on over. See what
we do. See how we operate, he
said.
A phone number listed for
Charles Umphred on Ferretti
Drive was out of service and no
one answered the door at the
home on two afternoons last
week.

meet the definition of a
junkyard and as such needs

Newflood maps for West Pitt-
stonwill gointoeffect Nov2. For
some sections of West Pittston
the changes will be significant in
terms of premiumrates for flood
insurance. A number of homes
that have been in Flood Zone B
will nowbe in Flood Zone AE, a
change which may greatly in-
crease the cost of flood insur-
ance if you dont act before the
changes take effect.
If the flood map change moves
you frommoderate to lowrisk B/
C/X zones into the 100-year
flood plain (Zone AE) you may
be able to take advantage of
NFIP grandfather rules that
would lock in the lower cost
zone. But you must purchase
flood insurance now. Your rate
would then be grandfathered
and you will continue to pay for
flood insurance at the lower rate
as if you were still in the less
risky zone.
Renters can get insurance on
personal property up to
$100,000.
It is recommended that home-
owners contact their insurance
agents immediately. Everybo-
dys insurance situation and
needs are different so only your
insurance agent will be able to
provide coverage tailored to your
individual situation. If you need
an insurance agent, you can get a
list of agents in the area at
www.floodsmart.gov and going
to the insurance coverage sec-
tion.
You can check your flood zone
on www.wptomorrow.com or
see the map at the West Pittston
Borough Building. You also can
call West Pittston Flood Plain
Manager Bill ODonnell at 655-
7782 ext. 224.
Property owners in Zone AE
are urged to get a copy of the new
WP flood plane ordinance either
at the borough building or on
wptomorrow.com.
In order to secure a grandfa-
thered rate for the lowrisk zone
you must present payment be-
fore the date of the neweffective
maps. So you must hand in your
application with the check to
your insurance agent by Novem-
ber 1, 2012.
Also remember that the policy
does not become effective (i.e.
you will have coverage if you are
flooded) for 30 days after pay-
ment.
New WP flood maps could affect insurance rates
Homeowners have grandfather
clause option but must act soon

***
Anewlawin Pennsylvania requires teachers
and other school personnel to be trained to
recognize and report child abuse.
***
The California Supreme Court has held that
a term of years sentence that is effectively
a de facto life-without-parole sentence for a

U.S. Supreme Courts decision in Graham v.
Florida. In Graham, the Supreme Court ruled
that juveniles convicted of non-homicide
offenses couldnot be sentencedtolife without
parole under the Eighth Amendment.
***
Connecticut has passed a series of laws
concerning students in public schools
being allowed to test their blood sugar
levels whenever they need to do so, making
training available for automatic external
defbrillators, and allowing trained school
personnel besides nurses to administer
glucagon to students in emergencies.

Everyone who knows about these
things seems to agree: a police dog would
be a worthwhile addition to the Pittston
Police Department.
Everyone who knows about these
things seems to agree: funding a police
dogthroughthe citys budget is a badidea.
The solution?
Well, for starters, its cooperation.
Thats what we witnessed Thursday
night when the city powers got together to
discuss the issue.
It will take about $20,000 to acquire the
dog and add the essentials. Councilman
Michael Lombardo said the only way to
come up with that kind of cash is via do-
nations and hes right.
Patrolman Joseph Galeski, who is inter-
ested in being the dogs handler and part-
ner, stepped up and said he would spear-
head a fundraising campaign.
And with that, the city manager, police
chief, a firefighter, the mayor and council
members all started brainstorming about
ways to raise the cash.
Flat out donations are one way.
Another is in-kind donations, i.e. goods
and services. One of those came from Dr.
Inayatullah H. Kathio, of the Pittston Ani-
mal Hospital, who offered free veterinary
services.
Other ideas include a coin drop, already
scheduled for Saturday morning, Oct. 27,
donation containers placed around town,
a spaghetti dinner, a 5Krace, a night at the
races, guest bartending at a local bar for
tips, a spaghetti dinner or a T-shirt sale.
On that last one, may we suggest the
cartoon on this page as a T-shirt design?
An account has been set up at UFCW
Credit Union. Any contributions should
be made payable to Pittston City K-9
Fund, 35 Broad St., Pittston, 18640.
We applaud the entire process. Good
people getting together with good ideas.
Thats community at its best.
Lets all get behind this effort.

Musician, entertainer and party legend AndrewW.K. made an
appearance at Luzerne County Community College on Sept. 17
inpart tohelppromote a soontobe releasedpartyingappcreated
by two LCCC graduates. The crowd was small but the positive
energy drawn up by the self-proclaimed Party King was in-
credible, proving him worthy of the title.
The students thrived off of the energy creating a feel-good at-
mosphere which the youth in the area are seeming to need now
more than ever. The ability to drawup such positive feelings is a
truly admirable quality.
With that in mind as well as the number of recent teen suicides
in the area. I sat with Andrew W.K. with the hopes of gathering
an uplifting message for depressed teens. Who better for the top-
ic than the king himself? Especially one who describes making
people feel positive and motivated to have fun as real magic.
When asked his thoughts on the suicides he expressed sympa-
thy for the victims. Its very sad and very terrible when the
world becomes so small for someone that feel the only way out is
throughsucha terrible way. He remindedthat the worldis a very
big place and its only an illusion casted by pain when it seems
small.
As one who claims to have struggled with depression himself,
Andrew suggests finding a positive way to channel those feel-
ings. Go for the big and go for the crazy. Remember times that
were great and that it wasnt a fluke to feel that good.
He stated that its ok to feel the way we feel, and not to let that
pull us down too. He recalls times of being depressed then being
mad for being depressed making himself feel even worse, which
is an occurrence most could relate to.
Bullying being the cause-in-focus of teen depression was a
topic he shared points on and ways he finds best to deal with it.
He shared that he himself was bullied and that he didnt let it eat
at him. Infact, he foundways for it tofuel himinhis life as a form
of motivation.
Its about harnessing
every emotion that
comes at you, whether
its love or hate, he said.
In his experience, he
decided to write music
that would appeal to not
just the people he got
along with but his bullies
as well, in an attempt to
help everyone find com-
mon ground and encour-
age finding ways to get
along and confide within
each other.
Andrew said some-
thing very inspirational
as well; he said he doesnt hate those he couldnt reach even if
they sought only to hurt him. The ones who are the loudest and
the most aggressive are often the most frightened.
He finds himself to feel sorry for theminstead, shedding light
on the fact that the victims of the taunting are often not the only
ones going through torment.
The infamous partier also left us with a party tip for someone
down in the dumps. Force yourself to smile when you are down.
Laughter and smiling is like a magical potion, anything that
could put a smile on your face is an incredible tool to make you
feel good.
He urges someone going through a hard time to do this. He
said he remembers his mother telling himto do it as a child and if
he couldnt find anything to make himsmile he would just put on
the biggest most ridiculous grin he could because its too hard to

How many columns do you think Ive written
about diet and exercise?
Probably about 102.
Howmany times do you think Ive begun a jour-
ney on the eat-right train before consistently sput-
tering to a halt?
Probably about 102.
And, although Ive found an exercise regimen
that, miraculously, I dont hate, Pilates alone does
not cure my dough-section. I know this because,
Darlene, that Tinkerbelle of Torture Pilates instruc-
tor proclaimed: If you want to be a size 2, then
Pilates is not for you. Pilates lengthens your mus-
cles and promotes leanness. For dropping sizes,
you need cardio.
the hell? Why didnt anyone share this nugget
with me eight months ago???
So, I guess cardio is the magic key that unlocks
the hatch to my whole wheat-belly conundrum.
Keeping that in mind, yesterday I spent 4 1/2
hours at Target and Walmart sprinting up and down
aisles trying to find the fake Under-Armour com-
pression shorts for $14.99 (dont ask) and the real
rack of ribs for a mere $11.98. If that aint cardio,
then I dont know what is.
Sadly, neither marathon shopping nor Pilates
does anything for my crepe-like knees, either.
I was dressingfor anevent several weeks agoand
donned a shorter dress. I thought I would wear
boots and thereby cover up my middle-aged legs. I
asked my son how I looked.
Epic mistake. He regarded me with a grimace.
WHAT?! I shouted.
Do you have, like, leggings or something you
can wear?
Im wearing boots for Gods sake! Im as cov-
ered up as I can be!
Hmmmwellll, not really. I can still see those
knees
I stormedout of his roomandconsidereda jump-
suit with galoshes and a babushka.
Damn kids. Damn truthful kids.
Im getting to a certain age where I realize if I
dont start eating like a woman of a certain age, and
not a12 year-old boy, I may shorten my life, as well
as expand my derriere. No one wants to see that.
I know I need to ingest more vegetables and
fruits and all that crap but for some reason I m
not drawn to those food products. If Pixie Sticks
and Hot Tamales were fruits, I would so be on it.
Alas, Dr. Oz tells me I need to eat food in its
natural state. Please. I can eat a raisin and maybe
beef jerky in its natural state, but thats about it.
I thought last Sunday would be a good day to
start the healthy gig (primarily because it wasnt a
full moon and I wasnt feeling particularly hor-
monal) and I decided to make flax seed and soy
pancakes for breakfast. With turkey bacon!
Doesnt that sound delish?
Yeah, well my kids and husband didnt think so
either.
Everyone smelled a.m. cooking which is as
rare as the Hope diamond and raced to the kitch-
en. One bite in and they knew this bacon didnt
come from a pig, but from the same bird that pro-
vides Thanksgiving dinner.
Utter deflation.
Thinking I could further attempt to trick their
simple little minds and taste buds, I slipped choco-
late chips into the organic pancake batter. Surely
they cant taste flax seeds in the middle of all that
mess, right?
Oh. Yes. They. Can.
My son asked: What the heck WAS that?!
WHAT? It tasted like HAY.
I explained how we need more soy in our diets
and flax seed is good for your poop!
Next time, count me out. Id rather eat dirt.
I glowered: Dont tempt me son. Do not tempt
me.
The next morning, I announced to my library co-
workers that this was the first day of the rest of my
freaking healthy life. They could either be with me
or against me. And if they were against me I would
take their stinkingDove chocolates andshove them
somewhere in the Audio Book section, where, like
the audio books of George Bush and Billy Graham,
they will never be seen or heard from again.
Listen, my life mantras are simple: Live & Let
Live. And, also: If Im Suffering, So Are You.
Thankfully, my boss-buddy Anne, was on my
side.
I apologized for making fun of her usual lunch
consisting of some godforsaken conglomeration of
risotto, pumpkin and kale. (I just spit-up). I begged
her to guide me along the route of healthy.
Excellent! Anne the Yogi exclaimed. I just
got a new juicer! We can juice!
What do you mean like a glass of Sunny De-
light with a shot of Captain Morgan?
NO! Ill blend-up celery and apples, blueber-
ries and tofu, bananas and seaweed and artichokes
andmulchandyoucandrinkit up! Youll feel like a
new woman!
I wont. I will feel like a hedge hog.
No, THANKS.
Ill stick to my usual protocol for losing a few
pounds and buttoning my skinny jeans: depriva-
tion. Its the only way I know.
Yeah, yeah, I hear you screaming: Its not a diet!
Its a lifestyle! You shouldnt feel hungry! Fill your
plate with broccoli and a spoonful of kidney beans
and the weight will melt right off!
Youre all liars and I am not buying it this time.
I just had my farewell-to-crap send-off meal:
chicken wing pizza plus a round of actual chicken
wings, Blue Ribbon peanut butter ice cream and a
not-fun size Hershey bar with almonds.
But, the night is young and who knows what the
witchinghour of The Real Housewives of NewJer-
sey will bring.
Probably Cracker Jacks and funnel cake.
Oh, and Sunny Delight with the Captain.
Help me.

The Captain and I
Maria Heck does not hesitate to use her "mighty
pen" to write a column which appears in this space
every week.
Wyoming Area, Greater Pitt-
ston and Luzerne County lost a
good friend with the passing of
local politico Sammy Agolino.
He was fighting cancer over
the past five years, overcame the
odds many times and always
pulled through but our good
Lord decided it was time.
While Sammy was a politic-
ian, he was also one of my dear
friends and most of the time
when we got together we talked
politics. To Sammy it was a
sport.
The first one to five, was
Sammys position with Wyom-
ing Area politics. And, I have to
give him credit. He was a master
at putting deals together at
Wyoming Area when everyone
thought it could never happen.
Ive known Sammy for nearly
myentire life growingupinWest
Pittston. He loved the Garden
Village.
Aggie, as he was affectionate-
ly known to many, was the king
of one-liners. West Pittston,
where the rich get richer and the
poor do OK too, Sammy said
some 30 years ago and that stuck
with me since.
When Sammy caught up with
someone he hadnt seen since
childhood, hed link them to
playing baseball at the West Pitt-
ston Little League. Labarres
(the Little League team my
brother and I played for), Sam-
my said to my brother Mike
when he caught up with him a
fewyears back at Agolinos Res-
taurant.
Many times, wed get together
andreminisce about the goodold
times. We were both members of
the West Pittston Hose Compa-
ny. Wed spend time to wee hours
of the morning at the Hose Com-
pany playing pool and shooting
the bull. Wedwait for the wheel
(siren) to go off looking to jump
on the fire truck and get that rush
volunteer firemen put their lives
on the line for.
Then there was the infamous
Bench.
The Bench was simply a
benchinfront of his brother Joes
restaurant where Sammy and the
locals would gather, solve the
worlds problems and just kibitz
the hours away. Good times.
Sammy was also about loyalty.
He understood it was a two-way
street. One of the things wed
joke about over the years would
be hiring my wife as Wyoming
Areas school nurse. If I put
Joey Valentis wife on, hed say,
Id show you loyalty.
One of Sammys highlights in
life was when he shared a piece
of pie with President Barack
Obama when Obama was on the
campaign trail four years ago.
One of my fondest memories
of Sammy would be during
Christmas with our Fireside
Chats. As my camera was roll-
ing, wed eat olives, pepper shoo-
ters and provolone; drink home-
made Dago Red wine and talk
about politics over the past year.
It was quite a hit and itll be a
void in my heart that can never
be filled.
Over this past summer, we also
lost Gary DelSerra, another area
politico who was a friend as well.
Many times Gary was part of our
conversations. Gary was also a
master at putting deals together
and there were times he was on
the opposite side of Sammy. I
can see it now. As Sammy ap-
proached those Pearly Gates,
Gary was on the other side whis-
pering in St Peters ear.
While I cant imagine the
deal that went down, I can hear
Gary now, Nice to see ya kid.
Sammy, you left us way too
soon and youll be missed by all.
Joe Valenti
YOUR OPI NI ON
On Sammy Agolino
feel bad and down when doing it.
He said, nobody made up
these feelings and its up to us to
keep them alive (referring to
happiness.)
Just reflecting on the inter-
view, I am overwhelmed by just
intense positiveness and its no
lie that if one ever needed a fig-
ure to look to in their life in times
of confusion, sadness or doubt
there would be no better candi-
date thanthe Great AndrewW.K.

I ll Return Your Phone Calls
A surprising number of
people being represented by
an attorney have reported
their disappointment over the
fact that their lawyer doesnt
keep them informed of the
progress he or she is making
on their case.
I know how important a
clients case is to them, so
I make it a point to return
all phone calls promptly.
The stress of undergoing a
personal injury claim is bad
enough; you shouldnt have
to undergo the agony of
wondering when your lawyer
will get back to you.
Ive been representing
injured clients in Luzerne
County for over 25 years. Id
be happy to talk to you about
your case, and theres never
a fee until you win.

Francis Curry radiates enthu-
siasm.
Meet him, even once, and
youll notice there isnt much
more energy you could pack into
a human. Hell thank you and
shake your hand vigorously. Be-
fore you release the grip, hell
thank you again.
Try to ask him a question
about his upcoming retirement
from Luzerne County Commu-
nity College, and hell stop you
mid-sentence and say: Its been
a blessing and a joy.
Ask anybody who has ever
met himand youll hear the same
words from them: Its been a
blessing and a joy.
He always sees people at
their best, saidThomas P. Leary,
president of the college. He is
Francis 24/7.
On October 5, Curry, the di-
rector of admissions at LCCC,
officially retired. His 38-year ca-
reer has been highlighted with
success. Curry is responsible for
the (LCCC) Adult Learners As-
sociation, DiversityCouncil, and
the only NAACP student chapter
in NEPA.
During his career he has con-
tributed much to the community
and the college. He served as a
council member in Forty-Fort, a
board member for the Luzerne
County Homeless Coalition, and
a member of the Red Cross
Blood Drive. He is the recipient
of the Red Cross Service Award
(2010), LCCC Outstanding Ad-
ministrator Award(1998), and two time recipient of the Student
Government Appreciation
Award(1987-88).
And after all of the awards,
lasting impressions, and contri-
butions to the community, Curry
said: What I will miss the most
is the students.
Duringthis years Bloomsburg
Fair, Curry, a graduate of Pittston
Area high school, sat at his usual
(LCCC) recruitment booth. A
gentleman approached him,
shaking his hand and thanking
him. I didnt recognize the
man, saidCurry. It turns out that
14 years ago he was unemployed
and struggling. He met Curry at
that same recruitment booth. He
enrolled at the college and went
on to graduate, mow leading a
successful life.
There are hundreds of stories
like this, both Curry and Leary
said.
You can come here to the
community college and do what-
ever you can do, Leary said. It
offers opportunity at an intimate
level and with people like Curry,
inspiration is not lacking in the
least bit, Leary continued.
Wherever Francis goes he
stirs it up. Just watch himwalk ...
when he enters a roomyou know
hes there, said Leary.
When Leary was director of
admissions, he and Curry would
visit many high schools in search
of future LCCC alumni. During
the first moments in one high

Question #1
In 1955, Pitt-
ston residents
took for granted
that an annual
event would be
held in October but
something caused its post-
ponement. What was it?
1955 57 Years Ago
Residents of Greater Pittston
would find it easier to stay in
contact with friends and family
as they shopped and worked
throughout the area after a
number of outdoor telephone
booths were erected by Bell
Telephone at Murphys Ser-
vice Station, Johns Service
and Graces Service in Pitt-
ston, Matteis in Moosic, New-
mans Barbeque and Amer-
ican Legion in Avoca, Wra-
ziens Service in Dupont, Gro-
gans Midway on the Dupont
Highway, West Side Gulf Sta-
tion, Zezzas Service in West
Pittston, Main Diner in Exeter
and Castellanis Service in
Wyoming.
Wilson Moyer, manager of
the Bell Telephone Pittston
office, inspected each booth to
make sure it was well lit and
available for patrons to safely
use 24 hours a day. According
to telephonetribute.com by
1902, there were 81,000 pay
telephones in the United States.
In the 1950s, glass outdoor
telephone booths began replac-
ing wooden ones. In 1960, the
Bell System installed its mil-
lionth pay telephone. On Feb. 2,
2001, Bell South announced
that it was getting out of the
pay phone business. Log onto
www.payphone-project.com/
numbers/usa/PA/PITTSTON/ to
see the list of the last known
public phones in the city of
Pittston.
On the police docket from
Oct. 16, 1955: Harold Tracy, of
Charles Street, reported,
Someone had stolen a case of
empty soda bottles from his
back porch, plus three Cokes
and three Seven-Ups. A report
was made against two 14-year-
old boys throwing stones at two
girls across Main Street. Upon
investigation, police discovered
the lads were tossing candy.
The writer mused, perhaps its
a modern version of courting
the girls. Falcone Beverage
Company on Main Street re-
ported someone had stolen
three valuable pieces of shrub-
bery from their lot valued at
$25 apiece. John Dunnigan, of
Exeter, came to the police de-
partment to report he couldnt
find his car. He didnt remem-
ber where he had parked it.
Residents of Duryea were on
the edge of their seats after a
swift-moving tropical storm
dumped heavy amounts of rain
across the Northeast. Residents
awaiting rising river waters had
already been hard hit by flood-
ing in the wake of Hurricane
Diane in August 1955. Much of
the concern focused on the
Marcy Street section, which
had been washed away in the
previous flood. It was feared
the Susquehanna would go high
enough to back up into the
Lackawanna River and add to
the danger of flooding at Du-
ryea. Through the long night
into the early morning hours,
the only borough experiencing
flooding was Exeter at Sullivan
Park and Happy Valley as the
swollen river continued to lap at
the bottom of Sullivan Street
Bridge. A previous hurricane
that year, Connie, did not pro-
duce significant flooding, how-
ever it set the stage for Hurri-
cane Diane to create some of
the Most destructive floods the
river valleys of eastern Penn-
sylvania, northwest New Jersey,
southeast New York and south-
ern New England had ever
seen, according to hurrica-
nescience.com.
The Sunday Dispatch In-
quiring Photographer asked, If
President Eisenhower decides
not to run again, who should
the Republicans pick as their
presidential nominee in 1956?
Jennie Scott, of West Pitt-
ston, answered, Richard Nix-
on; hes the VP now and hes
gathered enough experience.
Joseph OBoyle, of Duryea,
stated, Earl Warren of Cali-
fornia; you have to get a candi-
date whos got some sort of
national stature.
James Ruane, of Pittston,
added, John Foster Dulles; he
has the forcefulness necessary
for dealing with Europe and the
Far East. Hes not one to fool
around, but still not offensive.
Dwight D. Eisenhower ran
against Adlai Stevenson and
won the presidency in 1956. It
was the last election where
either one of the major candi-
dates was born in the 19th cen-
tury.
1965 47 Years Ago
In 1965, a bust of Christopher
Columbus anchored to a marble
base stood on the grounds of
the Roosevelt School in South
Pittston. Members of the Ital-
ian American Society Nello
Riccetti, Charles Guinta Sr.,
Charles Guinta Jr., Bert Ar-
doline, Frank Castellino, Atty.
Charles Bufalino Jr., Joseph
Pupa, Joseph Burgio, Atty.

Gallizzi, Sam Zanta, Angelo
Butera, Michelangelo Sper-
razza, Ross Minelli, Silvio
Pirelli, Biagio Falzone, Louis
Capone Sam Argento, Antho-
ny Ferrara and Pittston Mayor
Robert Loftus gathered there
on the day set aside to honor
the explorer. According to the
National Italian American As-
sociation website, the Colum-
bus statue at the school was
established circa 1948 and in
1969, was replaced by a 12-
foot tall statue wearing naviga-
tors attire, standing near a
ships anchor, which is pres-
ently located on South Main
Street.

These seniors have a delicious
hobby.
The Falls Senior Center Gar-
den Club is wrapping up its first
season and, boy, does it have a lot
to show.
Buckets of tomatoes, sugar
peas, beans, yellow squash, zuc-
chini, pep-
pers, beets,
cucumbers,
parsley and
lots and lots
of lettuce.
Twila Wat-
kins, manager
of the center,
said the club
is good exer-
cise for the
seniors and
you can see
something
growing.
The center
uses the Earth Box system, a
container gardening system de-
veloped by commercial farmers.
Its a maintenance-free growing
system that controls soil condi-
tions, eliminates guesswork and
more than doubles the yield of a
conventional garden. The sys-
temuses less fertilizer and water
and theres virtually no digging
or weeding.
Its an amazing way to gar-
den, especially for seniors, Wat-
kins said. All you have to do is
come and water themevery day.
Center member Tom Rogers
took water containers outside ev-
ery day because the center does
not have an outside water source.
Center member Marita Zim
helped some of the older seniors
plant seeds inside and then the
men took the boxes outside.
The center has
nine plastic box-
es and each box
had 16 holes for
vegetables.
Theyre
small, but they
really produce a
lot, Watkins
said.
Watkins hus-
band, Herb,
helped build
stands so the
boxes would be
several feet off
the ground and
the seniors, all of whom are 60
years old and over, dont have to
bend down or stoop over to gar-
den.
Gayle Bodin, an assistant
manager at the center, said the
Gardening Club shows seniors
they dont need a lot of space to
garden.
All you need is a 2 by 3 space
on your porch or patio, Bodin
said. You dont need a great big
garden to have fresh vegetables.
It also teaches the seniors about
container gardening.
The first growing season had a
few hiccups, but Watkins said
those hiccups were more of a
learning experience than any-
thing else.
We had a few problems we
have to work on for next year,
she said.
Some tomato plants got rot
from too much water and high
humidity. Some zucchini and
squash got borers, or insects that
bore into the vegetable. Some
cucumbers got fungus.
But overall, it was a great
crop, Watkins said.
Center members take home
the vegetables once they are ripe.
The center sees about 22 se-
niors a day and is sponsored by
the Area Agency on Aging for
Luzerne/Wyoming counties. Its
open to area residents 60 years of
age and over.
Every Monday at 11 a.m. (Ex-
cept this Monday) is low-impact
exercises, including the use of
weights and bands, and on
Wednesdays and Fridays many
go for a walk at 9:30 a.m.
Local artists will present an
Art Show from10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26
and 27. There will also be a mini
flea market, candy and bake sale.
The public is welcome on those
days.
The center offers daily free un-
limited coffee as well activities
such as Wii, shuffleboard, Scrab-
ble and a variety of card games.
Anyone wishing to enjoy a hot
meal at noon for a suggested $2
donation should RSVP to Twila
at 388-2623 by 12:30 p.m. the
day before.
And the Garden Club will be
back in the Spring.
Next year well have even
more, Watkins said as she
picked the last of the vegetables.
I have to take these peppers in
now.

Sound peculiar?
Good. Thats exactly what
chef Eugene Philbin wants.
In fact, Philbin calls his news
business venture Peculiar Culi-
nary Co.
He specializes in food that is
unique, distinctive and extraor-
dinary and likes to call his fare
gastro-grub.
Philbin, a native of West Avo-
ca and current resident of Pitt-
ston, has been bringing his pecu-
liar menu to local culinary risk-
takers at events he calls pop
ups.
There is one today at Jefferson
Park, on New Street in Pittston,
and another tomorrow, Oct. 15,
at the same location.
Todays is sold out but reserva-
tions can still be made for Mon-
days event by calling 570-212-
0960.
It starts at 7:30 in the Fred De-
mech building at the park.
The braised pork belly, bour-
bon onion marmalade, smoked
cheddar, pickled cucumber slid-
ers on chive corn bread will be
the opening course.
Diners will experience the
port fat waffle and pumpkin gaz-
pacho along the way before fin-
ishing up with coco crispy crust-
ed banana bread French toast
and homemade chocolate pop
rocks among other items.
Not only is the menu different
at every event, but the food is al-
so organic.
Thats important to Philbin,
who said about store-bought
meat, I wont serve it or put it in
my house.
Admitting he will occasional
consume food on the go, Phil-
bin still said, Id rather eat my
own finger.
For the record, his own finger
is never on the menu at his pop
ups.
Philbin said his first pop up in
August was a success and great
start to Peculiar CC. It was the
best night of my life, he recalls
saying to his wife, Miranda Phil-
bin.
Philbin, a graduate of the Culi-
nary Institute of America, em-
phasized he could not do all of
this by himself.
I have the best staff, he said.
Philbin worked for AuRants
restaurant, North Main Street,
Pittston, for two years before
taking the risk of starting a pop
up business.
Philbin said he is planning an
anti-Thanksgiving dinner in De-
cember which will feature sea-
food and anything not usually
seen on your holiday dinner ta-
ble.
Philbin said he prefers to serve
local food but joked, clearly
there is no local seafood to be
found in Pennsylvania unless I
go to Wallenpaupack and catch it
myself.
Philbin also adds local enter-
tainment to his events. Tonight,
Tom Graham will perform. To-
morrownight Jeremy Burke will
be at the mic.
The pop ups are cash only and
BYOB.

dents take their children for a
ride to enjoy the flaming fall
foliage stating that, For too
long we as residents of the
Pittston area have taken this fall
phenomenon for granted and
have not taken time to examine
and admire this beautiful and
exhilarating atmosphere and
view.
According to the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Conserva-

there are 57 native and five
introduced trees in Pennsylva-

Answer 1
The Sunday Dispatch publi-
cized the upcoming annual
Pittston Halloween Window
Painting Event. The contest
sponsored by the Pittston
School District allowed stu-
dents to paint windows of city
businesses with Halloween-
themed artistry.
The following week the Dis-
patch was contacted by a repre-
sentative of the school and was
told the school district could
not sponsor the contest because
of the expense involved to local
taxpayers. The water paints
used in the project were quite
expensive and no one else had
offered to purchase the suppli-
es, leaving them no choice but
to postpone the event.

William Penn
Peeking
school auditorium, both Curry
and Leary noticed countless stu-
dents searching for their guid-
ance counselor. I dont think
they knowwho the counselor is,
Leary remembers thinking at the
time.
He recalls watching Curry,
without hesitation, helping stu-
dents with their questions, not
pausing for a moment even when
the real counselor showed up.
Leary said: ...we will be
friends forever, but Im losing a
thirty-eight year working rela-
tionship. Were losing a great
man here at LCCC. When you
work with somebody for so long,
they take a piece of you.
LearyandCurryare more than
just colleagues. President Le-
ary is a personal friend and in-
spiration, Curry said. I love
him dearly.
When Leary heard what Curry
said, he responded: I too, love
him dearly.

During the Christmas holiday
in 2010, new mother Stephanie
Godri-Johnston, 32, told her
mother she was feeling funny.
She was having some digestive
symptoms, but couldnt articu-
late exactlywhat she was feeling.
At the time she was living in
New Jersey with her husband,
U.S. Army Maj. Andrew John-
ston. She told her mother she
was going to an emergency room
saying, If they tell me I have
cancer at least Ill know what it
is.
Her mother was puzzled, say-
ing to herself, Why is Stephanie
saying that? That just cant be.
Tragically, Stephanies in-
stincts were correct. Though as
a young, active female with no
family history she had none of
the risk factors, Stephanie was
diagnosed with Stage IVB Col-
orectal Cancer with a peritoneal
metastasis in January 2011. She
died less than a year and a half
later in May of 2012.
On Saturday, Oct. 27, an inau-
gural 5k Run called Stephs Fall
5k will be run at the Luzerne
County fields in Forty Fort to
memorialize Stephanie and raise
money for the Stephanie Godri-
Johnston Memorial Scholarship.
The course is appropriate for
the Steph Fall 5k. Its the Wyom-
ing Area high school cross coun-
try teams course and Stephanie
was a Lady Warrior cross coun-
try teammember. She graduated
from Wyoming Area in 1998,
where she was a star.
She was a member of National
Honor Society and a medalist in
Science Olympiad.
She ran hurdles and threwshot
put and discus for the track and
field team. She set school re-
cords in the varsity discus, which
still stands, and the junior high
shot put.
The $2,000 scholarship will
go to a graduating WA senior
member of either the cross coun-
try or track and field teams.
It was her husbands and fam-
ilys idea to use the money for a
scholarship. They wanted to do
something in Stephanies memo-
ry, her mother said. But they
didnt know what they would do
with the money from the race. It
wasnt a case where her kids
needed money, so we came up
with a scholarship for a WA stu-
dent that possesses the same
goals and traits as Stephanie. We
also wanted an event to memo-
rialize Stephanie each year for
her family and friends, especial-
ly her two young children.
Money raised over the $2,000
goal will go to raising cancer co-
lon awareness.
Mary Godri remembers her
late daughter as a wonderful,
kind, giving person, who could

lege with a Bachelor of Science
and later got a Master of Arts in
Education.
With her husband, Maj. John-
ston, she lived in Hawaii, Ken-
tucky, NewYorkandNewJersey.
In her obituary, her husband
wrote, She enjoyed cats, loved
running, Gerber daisies, travel-
ing to new places, visiting
friends, andmost of all beingjust
being, in her words, a Mom. A
model of charity and faith, be-
tween cancer treatments, she
gathered clothing and donations
for Susquehanna flood victims.
She did the same for her hus-
bands soldiers, gathering soaps,
razors, linens and towels. She
made sure that no soldier return-
ed fromAfghanistan to an empty
barracks room. During treat-
ments, she routinely baked cakes
and sweets for her doctors and
nurses, trying to care for them
the way they cared for her.
Stephanies parents are Ed-
ward C. and Mary Foy Godri of

Mike Barrett looked like a
manwhowent through12rounds
of a heavyweight championship
fight.
The Pittston Area coach was
exhausted and drained.
Luckily, his quarterback
wasnt.
Kyle Gattuso ignited a Patriot
offense that scored 26 points in
the third quarter and held off a
ferocious Coughlin comeback in
the fourth quarter en route to a
38-36 victory in a Wyoming Val-
ley Conference Division 3A
game that lasted more than three
hours.
I thought I was going to have
a heart attack, Barrett said.
Not with Gattuso on his side.
The athlete dida little bit of ev-
erything, rushing for 135 yards,
passing for almost 100 and even
catching a pass.
He hauled in a pass from 17
yards out that ignited a 26-point
third quarter that was capped off
by a 77-yard interception return
by Jordan Houseman to give the
Patriots (3-4) a commanding,
38-15 lead with eight to play.
We never gave up, Gattuso
said. It felt great. We had confi-
dence that we could win this
game. We are back in the playoff
race now. We just had to keep
thinking positive. Thats all it
takes. The offensive line was
great inthe secondhalf. Theydid
a great job of firing off the ball.
It wasnt easy, though, and al-
most slipped through the cracks.
Coughlins Zac Evans, who
ran for almost 200 yards, scored
three times in the fourth quarter
the last a 5-yard run to cut it
within 38-36 with 3:14 left. But
the Pittston Area defense stop-
ped the game-tying two-point
conversion by a mere yard as
Coughlin fell to 4-3.
They are a great team, and
great teams always find a way to
come back, Barrett said. And
they almost did. They are phys-
ical, and we couldnt stop the run
in the fourth quarter. They really
started to take the game over. I
feel that if we playthe waywe are
capable of playing, we can com-
pete with anyone.
Coughlin had one final
chance, driving the ball all the
way to the Pittston 30, but one
sack erased any hopes of a field
goal and a last-second Hail Mary
effort was picked off by Joe Sta-
rinsky at the 5.
We cant excuse the amount
of penalties and the amount of
turnovers that we had, Coughlin
coach Ciro Cinti said. The
game with Pittston is always a
good game. There is no doubt
about it. Throw the records out
because they dont matter when
you play this game.
You cant turn the ball over
that many times. You cant give
up 26 points in a single quarter.
The penalties and the mental
mistakes are the things that Im
most disappointed in. Im proud
that the kids fought back, and I
knew they would. But you cant
keep making those mistakes and
beat good teams.
Coughlin jumped out to a
quick 7-0 lead on a 20-yard run
by Paul Cole.
For PARomanczuk rushed for
52 yards on 11 carries. Emmett
was 5-6 passing for 81 yards and
Gattuso was 3-8 for 99. Starin-
sky had four receptions for 78
yards. Houseman had two inter-
ceptions.
Friday the Patriots (3-4) have
Berwick (7-1) at Trippi.

The Wyoming Area Warriors
continued their dominance with
another blowout victory to seal
their fourth straight win beating
Meyers, 50-20 in West Pittston
on Friday night on Pink Out
Night for cancer awareness.
Senior Nick OBrien flashed
his cancer awareness pink socks
all over the field and tied a
school record with six touch-
downs even after having a kick
off return for a Td called back by
penalty to start the game.
When the opening kick return
was wiped away by a penalty, it
seemed like it would just be one
of those games where the War-
riors have a hard time getting
started.
But OBrien didnt think so.
After the opening kickoff
OBrien had the six touchdowns,
240 rushing yards, 66 passing
yards, and an interception. So it
was one of those games instead.
OBrien got in the end zone on
a 9-yard QB run for WAs first
score and again on their second
possession with a 53-yard run
making some beautiful moves in
the process putting WA up 14-0.
After another OBrien Td on a
37-yard run early in the second
quarter, Meyers running back
Nate Mahalak looked to give
Meyers some life. He took the
ball around the right edge, snuck
through and burst through de-
fenders for the 70-yard touch-
down run making it a 22-7 game.
But that was hardly a bump in
the road for WA. OBrien scored
twomore Tds inthe second. Ona
19-yard run he ran through de-
fenders, made a fewcuts, and got
in the endzone by reaching out
and knocking over the pylon.
Another 1-yard OBrien plunge
with 1:14 left in the half score
would give the Warriors a 36 7
halftime lead.
Weve been looking for con-
sistency up front and this is the
healthiest weve been since week
two, said WAHead Coach Ran-
dy Spencer.
Afewplays intothe thirdquar-
ter, OBrien showed hes not all
offense. He intercepted a pass
and ran it back 48 yards for the
TD. Then late in the third quarter
Cody Schmitz would add yet an-
other score on a 9-yard TD run
giving the Warriors a command-
ing 50-7 lead.
Cody Schmitz and Zack La-
Nunziata quietly had a good
night, Schmitz had 61 rushing
yards as well as catching two
balls for 54 yards and LaNunzia-
ta had 42 rushing yards on just 5
carries. Trent Grove and Dylan
Pegg would also add a catch each
in the game.
It was also important for us to
come out and execute, said
Spencer.
Meyers got two late touch-
downs to make the final 50-20
score.
WAs Isaiah Peoples had a 42-
yard Td run called back by pen-
alty late in the game.
LaNunziata, Skursky, Zielin-
ski, Jordan Zezza, Taylor and
Marty Michaels excelled on de-
fense for WA.
Lenkaitis was 6-for-6 on PATs
and Schmitz had a 2-point run.
Ben Kopka scored six touch-
downs in week one in 1996
against Pocono Mountain on
runs of 1, 2, 25, 25, 59 and 89
yards.
George Beck scored six in a
first round District 2 playoff 55-
28 playoff win over Scranton
Prep on runs of 1, 1, 4, 4, 23 and
25 yards.
Wyoming Area had the ball on
a goal-to-go situation in the third
quarter when Spencer took
OBrien out of the game. One
more play and he may have
scored a school record 7th Td,
but Spencer wasnt counting
Tds. He wanted to give his star a
break.
Were trying to stay healthy,
Spencer said. Hes ringing
something up every week. Hes a
special kid. Hes got the burst,
toughness and agility.

The Lady Patriots won four
games this week to improve to
10-3 and jumped over two teams
from fourth to second place in
Division 2 heading into the final
week of the season. They are
one-half game ahead of Tunk-
hannock 9-2-1. The Patriots can
solidifysecondwhentheyplayat
Tunkhannock Tuesday.
Mathematically PA could
catch Northwest and tie for first
place, but its not likely. If the Pa-
triots win three this week they
would go12-3. Northwest is 12-1
and would have to lose twice this
weektofinish12-3andtheyhave
a game against winless Mon-
trose.
Only the division winner goes
to the playoffs, which doesnt sit
well.
Its frustrating, said PA
coach Caitlin Hadzimichalis.
Were starting to play some
good hockey, starting to mesh,
getting hot. The girls deserve to
play in a playoff situation.
Friday in Hughestown against
Montrose the PAwon 6-0. Alana
Platukus had two goals and an
assist, Liz McKitish had two
goals and Katrina McKitish had
two assists. Emily Herron and
Dana Maurizi also scored.
On Monday at home PA beat
Meyers 4-2 behind a Dana Mau-
rizi hat trick. Nicole Chaiko
chipped in a goal for Pittston Ar-
ea. Emily Herron, Liz Mikitish
and Katrina Mikitish had assists.
Lea Garibaldi had five saves.
On Wednesday at Berwick PA
shut out the Lady Dawgs 2-0.
Paige Danko and Mazuiri
scored. Katrina Mikitish had an
assist.
On Saturday PA won their
fourth consecutive beating Elk
Lake 4-0 in a make up game.
Chaiko scored twice and Herron
and Liz Mikitish, once each.
Alexa Danko had an assist, Gari-
baldi got the shutout.
Wyoming Area had only one
game last week and they were

How does a coach keep her
own and her teams spirits up
through a winless season?
Smile, said PA volleyball
coach Danielle McAndrew. Be-
cause a forced smile will lead to
a genuine one.
Genuine smiles were on the
faces of the Lady Patriots and
their coach on Tuesday when
they broke an 11-game losing
streak by defeating Coughlin
three sets top two for their first
win of the sea-
son.
In didnt come
easy, though.
The Patriots lost
the first two sets,
both 25-19.
After that sec-
ond set, they
couldnt have
been blamed if
they had that
here-we-go-
again feeling,
but McAndrew
didnt let that
happen.
In our group
huddle before
the third set, I
stressed the im-
portance of play-
ing like a team
and using all three hits to our ad-
vantage as well as keeping a
wanting to win attitude. I think
this win was very important to
us, because it stresses to these
girls that they are capable of be-
ing winners, something that they
didnt believe in the past.
Smiles were mixed with tears
of joy when the final point was
scored in the fifth set.
The girls reaction at the end
of the game, spoke louder than
any words ever could, McAn-
drew said. They jumped up and
down screaming and hugging
each other. Reactions like that
and the singing and cheering on
the bus ride home, make this job
so worthwhile.
Jacqueline Rabender was the
stat leader in the win with 26
digs, eight service points, 12
kills, 11 assists and two aces.
Irene Magdon added 10 service
points, three aces, 23 digs, one
kill and one assist, Tiffany Smith
had 5 service points, 10 digs, 6
kills, and 1 assist, 3 aces and
Kaitlyn Simyan had 6 service
points, 2 aces, 15 digs, 8 kills and
1 assist
After losing those first two
sets the LPs won 25-20, 25-18
and 15-7.
The LPS won a set on Thurs-
day against Meyers but lost 3-1.
Meanwhile Wyoming Area
stayed hot with two wins to im-
prove to 5-7.
The Lady Warriors swept Ber-
wick in Exeter on Tuesday for
their fourth
win of the sea-
son.
Match
scores were 25-
16, 25-15 and
25-21.
The War-
riors were led
by the serving
of Kate Kross,
who fired four
aces into the
right corner,
the setting of
Audrey Heida-
cavage who
had 22 assists
and killing of
Gabby Bohan
and Jessica
Sorick who had
eight and seven
kills respectively.
Berwick (3-10) led 11-9 in the
first set until Kross got a service
turn and the Warriors scored
nine consecutive points to lead
18-11.
Sorick and Kross had 15 ser-
vice points each.
On Thursday WA beat MMI
Prep 3-1 after dropping the first
set.
Hope Crawn had 14 service
points and three aces. Heidacav-
age added 13 assists and seven
service points and Kross had 12
service points, 5 aces and 5 kills.

Though the Wyoming Area
boys soccer teamwas shut out by
Meyers 4-0 on Friday in their fi-
nal game of the season to finish
5-9-1, first-year coach Nicholas
Hufford is upbeat about this sea-
son and next.
We fell a little short but it
happens, Hufford said. I
learned a lot. We knewwed have
growing pains with only two
starters back from the year be-
fore and a newcoach. The fresh-
man and sophomores got their
feet wet fast. They really im-
proved. I had fun. I enjoyed the
season. All the guys played their
hearts out and thats all you can
really ask for.
Next season the team will be
experienced.
Theyll have to earn it, but
well have nine returning start-
ers. Ill be interested to see what
the eighth graders look like next
season as freshmen.
The teams banquet is Novem-
ber 4 at Fox Hill.
Meanwhile the Patriots had a
busy week with three games.
They lost to Wyoming Seminary
8-0 at home on Monday and to
Valley West 5-2 also at home on
Wednesday. Ian Tracy and Colin
Tracy were involved in both
goals against Valley west each
assisting the other.
On Friday the Patriots got their
fourth win of the season beating
GAR in Wilkes-Barre 4-2.
Jordan Consagra had a hat
trick for the Patriots and assisted
Colin Tracy on the fourth PA
goal. Matt Tavaglione had an as-
sist to Consagra.
Both GAR goals were scored
by girls Katie Oldziejewski and
Paige Elmy. GAR did not field a

Wyoming Area Alumni week-
end is Friday, October 19. John
Garibaldi, Andy Castanaro and
Jeff Gercak will be inducted into
the Wyoming Area Alumni Ring
of Pride at halftime of the
Wyoming Area GAR game.
The1992 District 2 champion-
ship team will also be honored.
Post game there will be a cock-
tail party catered by Marianac-
cis Restaurant at Saint Antho-
nys banquet hall in Exeter.
Some people may be cynical
about football players as stu-
dents. Former Wyoming Area
coach Paul Marranca wasnt one
of them. He used to say academ-
ics and football went hand-in-
hand. The three men who will be
inducted into the Wyoming Area
Football Ring of Pride Friday
night are proof positive of that.
Garibaldi, class of 1984, was a
two-way lineman for the War-
riors. He was on every all-con-
ference going and a UNICO and
Big 33 all-star. The Warrior
teams were a combined 24-8-1in
his three varsity seasons.
He got a full ride to the Uni-
versity of Delaware where he
played football. He later coached
at Riverside and Pittston Area.
Today he is a successful busi-
nessman as the owner of Five
Star Painting and the President
of the Pittston Italian-American
club.
He lives in Duryea and has two
daughters Maria and Lea.
Andy Castanaro, class of
2002, won four letters for the
Warriors football team. He may-
be best remembered for scoring
a Td to upset Berwick. He was a
freshman on the 1998 District 2
championships team.
He was the quarterback in his
junior and senior seasons. Casta-
naro was also a District 2 cham-
pion with the basketball team
and in track and field in javelin.
Like Garibaldi, Castanaro was
on every local all-star team. He
was the captain of the UNICO
team and won UNICOs Brian
Piccolo Award.
As a student he was in the
NHSas a top10 student. He went
to Columbia on scholarship
where he won two letters playing
safety and got a B.A. in econom-
ics.
Today he is a market analyst
for PPL. He lives in Allentown
with his wife Eric, where he vol-
unteers with Big Brothers, Big
Sisters and the United Way.
Jeff Gercak, class of 2001, was
a three-year varsity letterman as
a football lineman and in track
and field for the Warriors. The
Warriors were 7-3-1in his senior
year.
He went to Dickinson where
he lettered for three years. He
was All Centennial Conference
there and played in two NCAA
playoff tournaments.
He lives in West Pittston. Hes
single. He works for Sanofi Pas-
tuer, a vaccine manufacturer.
The trio will be inducted into
the Ring by Alumni president
Lou Ciampi at halftime of the
Wyoming Area GAR game on
Friday.
The 1992 District champion-
ship team will also be honored.
After the game the Ring induc-
tees and the 1992 team will be
feted at a cocktail party, catered
by Marianaccis Restaurant, at
Saint Anthonys Banquet hall in
Exeter.
Tickets are still available for
$25. Call Independent Graphics
654-4040 to get on a list and pay
at the door.
Going into week 11 the 1992
team, which had been state
rankedearlier inthe season, were
seen as underachievers. They
were only 5-5 when they played
PA in the annual rivalry game.
But they won that game 42-8 and
then beat Dunmore and Hanover
to win the District 2 Champion-
ship and finish 8-5.
This was when the Eastern
Conference Tournament led to
the state playoffs.
In the defense of the five loss-
es, two of them were to eventual
state championship teams. Ber-
wick, with Ron Powlus, won the
3Atitle and Valley Viewwon the
2A title.
They also lost to Valley West
and Mt. Carmel and were upset
by Coughlin. The Warriors
played five 4A teams.
The 92 quarterback Tom
Campenni talked about his
standout memories of the season
Beating Dunmore 20-14 in a
tough, physical semi-final game
and trouncing Hanover 31-0 for
the District 2 AAChampionship
at the Lackawanna County Sta-
dium, which was broadcast live
on TV. Beating PA 42-8 to com-
plete a 4-game sweep of PA for
our senior class and being
ranked 2nd in the state by the
Harrisburg Patriot-News.
The season was also notable as
it marked the return of Paul Mar-
ranca as head coach after a five
year absence.

Sometimes life is more than
funny. Sometimes your paths
cross with people and the more
time you spend with them the
more you realize just how con-
nected you are. I had such an ex-
perience recently. I was invited to
join a Facebook page that deals
with mushrooms and local mush-
roompickers. I quickly contacted
the creator of the page andthe trip
down memory lane started auto-
matically.
His last named rang a bell. Dan
Peck of Wyoming is the driving
force and organizer of NEPA
Mushroom Hunters on Face-
book. Dan and I spoke several
times on the phone before agree-
ing to meet for a mushroompick-
ing adventure. We met in a park-
ing lot off of route 92 in Harding.
He was waiting for us with his
daughter Rylee. He then asked us
to follow him to an undisclosed
location. This is not unusual at all
when dealing with true fungi
gatherers. They treat their mush-
room locations as if it were a
combination to a safe filled with
gold bars. It was a short ride to a
driveway and a huge manicured
lawn with an occasional clump of
pine trees and oak trees. It wasnt
until I looked at a fewolder struc-
tures on the property that I con-
nected the name, Peck, with the
location.
It turns out that I had been on
this property more than thirty-
five years ago picking mush-
rooms with my father. Lets call it
a small world but also joining us
on this day trip was Bill Peck and
his son. Bill Peck graduated with
my brother and we talked all
about Wyoming Area High
School as we cut a half of a basket
of podpicki fromthe ground. The
property itself has changed quite
a bit with a few homes, garages
and swimming pools but it was
obviously still fertile enough for
mushroomgrowth. It was in deed
the Peck family property and my
father knewDans father and oth-
er older members of the family. I
must apologize to Dan if he feels
like I gave away his mushroom
spot but I thought it was a story
worth sharing.
The hobby of mushroom pick-
ing is indeed one of tradition and
habit. Every time we do a story
about mushrooming on Pennsyl-
vania Outdoor Life people re-
spond with questions and a desire
to learn the hobby. Dan wants to
make it clear that his Facebook
page is not used instead of a field
guide. In fact Dan carries a field
guide with himand he is an expe-
rienced picker. Here is his mis-
sion straight from the Facebook
Page.
This FB page is made for all
who love to hunt mushrooms, and
also learn more about hunting, or
for our first timers! This can be
used as relaxing. Walks in the
woods can yield a bag or so of
mushrooms. Finding them by
surprise is very exciting.
This FB page is in no way
shape or form informing anyone
to just pick and eat any mush-
rooms. This page is sharinginfor-
mation from experienced mush-
room hunters experiences in the
woods. They will post pictures,
give tips, talk about their finds,
and try to guide a beginner to get
out have fun and learn all the
types of mushrooms in the
woods! A mushroom hunter will
always carry a field guide.
I spent the better part of a
morning with the Peck family
and I must say they do it right.
They walk slowly, talk a lot and
pick mushrooms. It was a pleas-
ant adventure to say the least. If
you would like to become part of
the local mushroom society, get
on Facebook and go to NEPA
MushroomHunters and click on
that you like it. It is interesting to
read about other peoples success
in the field. We will have a com-
plete story about my adventure
with the Peck family tonight at
6:30 on Pennsylvania Outdoor
Life.
