Footprints in the Valley Sky  Section IV, Part IV—No Story Left Untold—The Readers Contribute: Catching the Flying Bug—An Unconventional Pilot! The “flying bug” caught many, one way or another— but, thereʼs one area gentleman who never took a flying lesson, never flew a plane, yet

fly, I never did. I have a lifetime pass with U.S. Air—Iʼve been in aviation for thirty years. Since I got the job at the airline and I could fly all over, it would be worthless if I got myself a

owns many Willis planes… “I knew Reifenberg very well. Every morning weʼd have coffee together. I know Helen very well; sheʼs known me a long time—a beautiful lady, a good lady, a wonderful person—unbelievable! person—un believable! And so was Willis—he was the greatest guy, and a good pilot—he was something else! Every time we go up to Hazleton Airport, we talk about Willis.” “I was Station Manager for Allegheny Commuter at Hazleton. I hired two others that worked under me. We were there ten years, 19681978. We covered everything: wrote tickets, loaded airplanes, unloaded—everything but the flying! At the station, we had to have a weather license. They taught me the weather at Wilkes-Barre—at a station like Hazleton, you need weather taken every hour. Iʼd take the weather, then call it into Wilkes-Barre Flight Service—that was interesting. All three of us got [certification]. All I needed was ʻthe hatʼ [license] and I would have been flying [for Allegheny], too!” “Every morning I used to open up—Willis would come up to give flight instruction— always waited until the weather was good and clear.” Helen also ran the very busy restaurant at Hazleton Airport. Airport. “Willis would come over to the (Allegheny) counter—Iʼd be in the back and heʼd call, ʻCome on Ton, letʼs have a cup of coffee!ʼ Every morning! Every time heʼd come up—he would never miss. We would all chat, you know—talking about different airplanes, lessons he taught, trips he was taking— he did a lot of charter work! It was really very nice conversation—every day was some-

license.” “You mentioned flying at the Reifenberg field with your boys.” “Yes, I have three boys, and we went every night when it was nice in the summer— beautiful up there, it was a beautiful time. Thatʼs when I was younger and we were flying at the St. Johns field. When Willis was living, any time Iʼd come out with my boys to fly, if the grass was too high, heʼd say, ʻWait a minute!ʼ Heʼd go into the hangar, get the grass cutter, and heʼd cut it for me. Then heʼd watch us fly! I fly radio-controlled model airplanes and I build the models! Willis loved the model airplanes! He would just sit there and watch us!” “So you never took any flying lessons!” “Correct! I started building model airplanes when I was 10yrs. old, and Iʼm still building—havenʼt stopped yet—I have sixty airplanes!” Then Allegheny closed their station at Hazleton Airport (1978). Tony wanted to transfer, but there were no area openings. “So I had to go back to White Plains, NY, then all over—Harrisburg, Allentown, going back and forth. Then there was a Wilkes-Barre opening and I transferred.” Successfully staying with Allegheny, Tony reviews some airline history. “There were five mergers—they changed the name to U.S. Air, 1978 or so, figured that would be a better name, as they wanted to go international.” Seeing Tonyʼs meticulous handwork at Helenʼs home, my husband, Bill, an aerospace engineer, told Tony he could seriously, easily have worked building specification models in engineering labs for aerospace companies. “I know! Everybody said that,

thing different!” Itʼs easy to assume Tony Minots, like most area people, took flying instruction with Willis. “No, I didnʼt take lessons—never! sons—nev er! I canʼt fly at all! I never got the opportunity to

even my wife, my friends, everybody—aaah—but I never pushed anything like that. I had a good job with the airlines, I didnʼt want to give it up, would have had to move— I didnʼt want to move!”

Tony brought a special model airplane to show Helen. “I built the model Willis was selling at St. Johns airport (1946), the Republic Seabee. It was built on Long Island, NY by Republic. It has wheels for on land, or can be used on water—the fuselage is like a boat (still used in Canada, USA)—I built this myself from plans, from scratch—bought the wood and made it by

hand!” “My first plane ride was in a Luscombe with my friend, Joe Matyas from Hazleton who owned one—he was a United Airlines pilot—that was my first flight! Anytime heʼd see me heʼd say, “Come on! Letʼs go!” Heʼd fly in from Chicago when I worked at Allentown— we were the best of friends. I loved it! I loved flying— heey!—Iʼm not afraid at all!”

“So you never needed to get your license!” “Right! I have so many ʻhoursʼ, I could get it with no problem—yet not fly an airplane! I never flew the real ones, but I do have the small ones!” Next time: Footprints in the  Valley Sky—Section IV, Part V— No Story Left Untold—The  Readers Contribute: A Forced  Winter Landing at 22nd and  Wyoming

Out in the OpenPileated Woodpecker  When the woody bangs on a tree it sounds like a carpenter with a hammer. And its loud, boisterous call almost sounds like it is laughing. Some oldtimers will remember the cartoon featuring Woody the Woodpecker and his laughing call. These sharp-billed tree knockers eat tons of carpenter ants, boring beetle larva and fruits and nuts. They dig rectangular holes in the hardest of trees pulling out bugs with its long beak all year long. Once the bugs are cleaned out of the holes other songbirds use the hollowed out impressions for nests and shelter. Pileated woodpeckers donʼt migrate and a pair will stay together all season. They look

Story and photo by Alex Zidock

Pileated Woodpecker – (Pill  – e – ate – ed) the largest woodpecker in North America is about the size of a crow. Itʼs got a wingspan of 26 to 29

inches. You canʼt mistake this bird for any other with its tufted red crest on its head and almost all black body. It does sport some white stripes down its sides and patches of white under its wings.

for the largest trees in the forest to nest in cavities they dig for that purpose and line with wood chips. Both parents incubate the 3-5 eggs for 15 or 16 days until they hatch. The babies are ready to fledge in a month. They have been known to move eggs from one location to another should an egg fall out of the nest. This is unusual behavior for birds.

Cub Scout Pack 63 Holds Raingutter Regatta Cub Scout Pack 63 from Drums/St Johns held a Raingutter Regatta recently at St Johnʼs Lutheran Church. The event was open to all Cub Scouts from Pack 63. Interested scouts were provid-

the pack regardless of their rank. The scouts had to blow the boats down the track without using their hands. It was held in a double elimination format. The top three finishers for the event were Chris

ed with the official BSA Raingutter Regatta kit and were able to alter and design their boat as long as it met certain specifications outlined by Cub Scouts. The scouts raced their boats against others in

Dinenta in 1st place, Peter Walko in 2nd place, and Mathia Saar in 3rd place. For more information about Cub Scout Pack 63, check out www.scoutpack63.net/.

Our trip took us north through Lock Haven, a pretty little college town, and then north through Renovo. In a couple of places, we needed to get into line behind oil field equipment as it was being shipped along the local roads for Marcellus Shale drilling for natural gas. The ride north paralleled a rail line. We had sighted a train moving along this, and at a point we caught

The dogs treated this as a great game. Once settled, we explored a little bit around the cabin, then went off in search of elk. Unfortunately, we got lost, and by the time we got back on track, it was dark, and all we were

The two other males also seemed to have possibilities. There was also the possibility of a fight, but all we saw trumpeting and some pacing, part of the dominance ritual. They were incredible. A pair of cows walked within 15 feet of all of us, grazing. In the midst of all of them were

On one of the cars there was a flat spot on one of the wheels, and so we were able to know it by the metallic clang and clatters, as sometimes we passed it, and sometimes it passed us. We paralleled for about 10 miles. We came into the old railroad town of Renovo, known as the site of railorad shops in its heyday, so as we were in the community we went to look at what buildings remained. Still standing is an old brick industrial building from the late 1800s. The rest of the shops were gone. Sadly, this was also the condition of the town, where a onceproud Main Street had essentially been gutted. Not one block wasn't missing a building, and several blocks were missing several buildings, whose ghostly frames were etched into the sides of the buildings that remained. The only new building was a brand new dollar store. North of Renovo, things got pretty remote. There was not

Drums native Eachus continues to thrive for Colgate football team By Steve Stallone HAMILTON, N.Y. – When Nate Eachus arrived at Colgate University as a freshman football player, he was the hunter, not the hunted. There are those in the Patriot League who wish he would have stayed on defense. Though the Hazleton Area graduate got his first taste of college football as a linebacker back in 2008, his stay on defense was a brief one. Through six games his resume read like this: 10 tackles, one quarterback sack. Then came the injury. Midway through that first season, senior Jordan Scott, an AllAmerican and the Raidersʼ alltime leading rusher, went down with an injury in Week 7 against Cornell. Eachus got the call to join the offensive unit, and Raider faithful soon found out what Hazleton Area fans already knew. In a little more than two quarters of action against Cornell, Eachus rushed for 241 yards – the eighth highest single game

performance in school history – in a 38-22 victory. Heʼs been a focal point of the Raidersʼ offense ever since. "He was always going to be a running back," head coach Dick Biddle said last Saturday, moments after Eachus and the Raiders laid a 34-3 beating on Georgetown. "But because we had Jordan Scott and we knew Nate was a good player, we said we need help on defense. Heʼs a football player. Heʼs like the kid from Stanford (Toby Gerhart). I would play him both ways here but we just canʼt afford to do that." Eachus finished his freshman campaign with 932 yards and 10 touchdowns, earning Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors. He ran for 919 yards and 16 touchdowns in an injury-plagued sophomore season, but still impressed enough to be named first team all-Patriot League for a second straight year. Eachus again proved his value as an offensive player against Georgetown Oct. 2. The junior tailback pounded away at the Hoyasʼ defense 44 times for 214 yards and all four Raider touchdowns, marking the fifth time in his college career he has gone over 200 yards in a game. The effort did not go unnoticed. Two days later Eachus was not only named the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week, he was selected as the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS, formerly Division I-AA) Offensive Player of the Week. In addition, he was named to the Walter Payton Award Watch List, the FCSʼ top individual honor. This past Saturday, Eachus had 85 yards on 19 carries with

two touchdowns in a 44-10 rout of Princeton. For the season, Eachus already has 725 yards on 156 car-

Eachus has rewarded him. Yet Eachus is quick to give credit to the men up front. "I give them (the offensive line)

ries with scores. Hewith is among the nine nation's leaders 145 yards per game, including 147 yards and a score at Division I Syracuse. "I think heʼs a Division I-level running back. Heʼs a horse," Biddle says without hesitation. "I think what he does, what we ask him to do, he does it well and I think we get momentum off that. I think it pushes everybody. Good running backs that are physical, I think they get everybody involved in the game." "Weʼre no secret. All we do is run the ball," Eachus said following the Georgetown game, one in which he had a season-high 44 carries and never seemed to tire. "It didnʼt feel like 44 carries. I could have carried the ball probably 20 more times," he said. "Itʼs  just willing the team to win it, get first downs, and get that extra yard. It was a lot of fun beating on a team like that." "I want to give my best player the ball as many times as we can," Biddle said in the preseason, vowing to give him the football 35-40 times if he remained healthy. The veteran coach has lived up to that promise, and

all the drive credit,"Iʼm he said. "After 70yard always ona the bench slapping their hands, cheering them on, giving them pounds. Theyʼre the workhorse of our team. They carry our offense." With the help of his line, Eachus continues to climb up the Colgate record charts. The Drums native is already 10th in career rushing (2,576 yards) and fourth in rushing touchdowns (35). The Raiders carry a 3-2 record into this week's Patriot League game at Cornell, bouncing back from consecutive losses at Furman and Syracuse with decisive wins over Patriot League foe Georgetown and Ivy League rival Princeton. "I think we learned a lot," Eachus said of the two losses. "Those two teams are tough competition, and it prepared us for the Patriot League. Furman plays in the Southern Conference, and we played Syracuse in the (Carrier) Dome, theyʼre in the Big East. Playing two tough teams gets us ready for the Patriot League. "Now weʼre rolling, and we got our first win. Getting that first one out of the way is the most important one, I think."
