20 HISTORIC HOME PROVES IDYLLIC REPOSITORY FOR OWNER’S MEMORABILIA COLLECTION
INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE
I get story ideas all over the place. My eyes and ears are always open and looking for new businesses, trends and people to profile. Sometimes, I get suggestions from readers or coworkers. I might meet a new person at a social function who does something I’ve never heard of, so I ask for their contact information. Other times, I happen upon something organically in the wild, and I ask myself, "What's that?" In the Mon Valley, I rely on people like Dave Zuchowski, who is extremely well-connected and has an incredible nose for news, and the Mon Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce, which is an invaluable community resource.
My thought process for deciding what merits coverage can't be described with any specificity. It's an art, not an exact science, honed over years of experience writing and editing in local news. Usually, it's just a gut feeling.
I don’t often turn down story suggestions. If someone thinks it’s worth reading about, I typically agree, not out of mercy to the person who suggested it, but because I try to listen to the communities I am in. The best barometers for what’s going on in the area are the people in it.
Often, though, I feel that if I have a question or want to know something, someone else in our readership area must have also thought the same at one time or another.
But I invariably want to know whether or not I'm on the mark. If you have a suggestion for a piece, please let me know. I'm always happy to hear from our readers. Please email me at tthurston@observer-reporter.com
Thank you so much for reading. Take care, stay safe and see you in the next edition.

Richeyville native enjoyed notable career as sought-after
By Dave Zuchowski
percussionist
Tired of hearing his young son beating out rhythm on the floor of his home, Albert Wrublesky’s father, Paul, bought him a set of drums when he was nine. Two years later, the 11-year-old was proficient enough to join his father’s band, The Melody Aces.
He got so good that other bands soon asked him to fill in.
Wrublesky really began to show his potential in high school, where he was president of the Beth-Center band and performed with the county, district and state school bands. He also studied under Bill Crockett of Low Hill, the teacher from whom so many area drummers learned the percussion ropes and fundamentals, and today almost idolize.
Following graduation in May 1961, he auditioned for the Air Force Band and was admitted to the ensemble. From 1961 to 1965, he played with the Air Force marching, concert and jazz bands.
“In high school, we had about 100 students in the band,” he said. “In the Air Force Band, there were only around 30, but the first time I heard them, I was shocked to hear how much fuller the sound was. Everyone there bordered on being a professional musician.”
As a member of the 730th Air Force Band stationed at McGuire Air Base in New Jersey, he performed in many small military groups in parades and concerts throughout the East Coast and even flew to Bermuda to perform twice.
“My most notable parades were those for the New York City parade for astronaut John Glenn, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and the groundbreaking event for the New York World’s Fair with John F. Kennedy as guest speaker,” he said.
Following his honorable discharge in 1965, he toured the Midwest with a few rock bands, then returned home to Richeyville. “My intent was to get a job and save enough money to relocate to New York or Philadelphia.”
After securing a job at Fox Groceries in Belle Vernon, his father passed very suddenly while returning home from a day working the steel mill in Alliquippa. The event proved soul-crushing, and because his mother was left alone, he decided to stay with her and his new wife, Constance (Connie) Orodny, in his boyhood home and continue to work at Fox for the next four years.
“At Fox, I wasn’t that excited about going to work,” he said. “But when I played music, I looked forward to working. Since the time I joined my dad’s band at age 11, I fell in love with performing and playing music.”
In 1972, he took advantage of the G.I. Bill, got back into music and earned a bachelor’s and master’s degree in percussion from West Virginia University under the tutelage of Professor Phil Faini. As a WVU student, he played in many ensembles and orchestras, including Percussion 70, an internationally acclaimed percussion ensemble.
“As a group of 16 musicians made up of students and faculty, Percussion 70 toured throughout the U.S and even made a two-week tour of Japan to places like Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and just outside of Tokyo,” he said. “While there, I got to try sushi, Kobe beef and, of course, sake and Japanese beer.”
Percussion 70 also made several television appearances, including one on the “NBC Today Show” in New York City. Later, he was one of the featured soloists for the WVU Alumni Band on a tour of Greece and Italy.

When he wasn’t performing, he also taught part-time at WVU from 1982 to April 2016, when he retired after 34 years of teaching.
In 1981, he was hired to work in the orchestra at the Holiday House in Monroeville. Scheduled to start on New Year’s Eve, he slipped in his driveway two days before and broke his ankle. Laid up for five months, he got back into performing in May and went on to play for stars like Al Martino, The Temptations, Gladys Knight, Phyllis Diller and Charo.
For touring entertainers and Broadway shows in Pittsburgh, he also played with entertainers like Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra Jr., the Moody Blues and Red Skelton. He added even more to his resume playing with the Wheeling Symphony, the Charleston Symphony (featuring Ferrante and Teicher and pianist Roger Williams) and the River City Brass Band with whom he played in concerts in California and Arizona.
From 1983 to 2019, when he retired after a 36-year stint, he played for the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera as principal percussionist.
In an email Tom Helm, the conductor for CLO for many years, sent to Wrublesky, wrote, “If you didn’t know this before (and you should have), I valued our working relationship SO much. I depended on you for every bit of musicianship we were able to achieve in all the many, many shows we did. But more than that, I appreciated SO much your friendship and support.”
Wrublesky also worked with Pittsburgh cultural powerhouses like the Pittsburgh Opera (1987-2020) and the Pittsburgh Ballet (1987 to present). This May, he’ll be the principal percussionist for the Ballet’s production of “The Wizard of Oz.” Interestingly, one day in his career, he performed with entertainers worlds apart, musically speaking, when he played with Luciano Pavarotti in the afternoon and with the Bud Hundinski polka band that same evening.
“It would be hard to find another musician as dedicated and good-natured as Al,” said Charles Barker, PBT’s orchestra conductor. “His spirit in rehearsals is uplifting to all of us. His musicianship is first rate, and it’s always fun to catch his eye during rehearsals and performances and share a moment with him.”
After his wife died in 1989, he returned to his Richeyville home. He remarried in December 2007 to Rosemary Kengle and moved to Irwin in 2011, where he still lives. Following her passing in 2020 and his recent semi-retirement, he enjoys playing golf and spending time with his son, Andrew, a level one tech support for NASA employees.
“I feel so blessed to have worked with so many great musicians and entertainers in my career,” he said. “Once I got out of the business mode and back into music, I’ve enjoyed going to work ever since.”

FLAMINGO LEGS CATERING:
HOME OF ELEVATED COMFORT FOOD
By Dave Zuchowski
With a lengthy resume highlighting years working in the food service industry since age 15, Chef Robert Smith transitioned into his own catering business three years ago.
He and his wife, Danielle, held their first Flamingo Legs tasting out of their home in Monongahela. They soon were able to work out an agreement with Carroll Township to use its social hall as a food prep staging area.
“Over the past three years, we’ve built our clientele largely by word of mouth,” Danielle said. “Our first catered wedding customer passed along a recommendation to her cousin to use us when she married soon after. We’ve been growing our business ever since.”
Robert started working in pizza shops as a teen, then worked his way up through the restaurant business at places like Valley Brook Country Club, Jason Capps’s Bella Sera in Canonsburg and 13 years at Washington and Jefferson College. In between, he studied culinary arts at the Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts in Pittsburgh.
After transitioning to catering, he said he likes his new food service style because he now knows how many people he’s preparing food for and that the menu changes all the time, depending on the taste of his clients.
“As caterers, I feel that we’re part of something special for our clients, be it a wedding, a baby or bridal shower or a wake,” Danielle said.
This past January, Flamingo Legs moved to the building space once occupied by Hog Fathers in Monongahela at 243 E. Main St. While not a sit-down restaurant, the Smiths did stage Friday sit-down and take-out fish fry lunches throughout Lent. They also serve food such as brisket and chicken tenders out of their on-site truck named Bertha from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m. each Wednesday. Robert suggests people who want to see the day’s food specials visit the website, flamingolegs.com.
In good weather, Wednesday customers can sit at tables outside on the patio in front of the building.
If you’re wondering where the name Flamingo Legs comes from, Robert said it’s the nickname his mother, Molly Palfreyman, and his two sisters, Michelle and Kerri, called him when he was a kid.
“My mom used to buy me flamingo-themed gifts, and my father-in-law, Dan Brunozzi of Greensburg, made me a papier-mache flamingo mascot which we display in the corner of our new Monongahela venue. The venue, by the way, can seat up to 50 people for catered events.”

The site is also used for family bundle pick-ups of foods appropriate for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. A recent Easter bundle pick-up for a family of four included pineapple glazed ham, chicken romano, cheesy potato casserole, cheese stuffed shells in tomato cream sauce, green beans with bacon and onions and pound cake with berry toppings. The cost of the bundle is $100.
Helping out in the kitchen is sous chef Liam McIntyre of Canonsburg; Barb Leone of Fallowfield works as a jackof-all-trades. The Smiths also have a list of 20 people they can call on to fill in for catered events, serving between 6 and 1,000 diners.
The Smiths’ three sons, Ayden, 15, Daniel, 8, and Patrick, 6, also help with the less complicated tasks like peeling carrots.
“You couldn’t ask for better employers than the Smiths,” Leone said. “They’re great people and take pride in everything they do.”
The fact that Danielle has a bachelor’s degree in nutrition and dietetics from Seton Hill University also comes in handy. For one, she can make recommendations on food allergies and other food-related issues.
For the Smiths, the weather is the most challenging part of the catering business. Robert remembers one event held under a pavilion in Moundsville, West Virginia, when a microburst hit the area just after he set up. Sous chef McIntyre said his most challenging moment was keeping his eggplant rollatini fresh, delicious and presentable.
As a service to their clientele, the Smiths let them choose items from the catered wedding list and cook samples ahead of time for up to six people. This allows them to try out the food before signing a contract. The samples cost $25 per person, which is deducted from the bill if the client decides to sign on with them.
Besides the foods listed on the website menu, clients can also customize their choices for things like barbecue and Southwestern cuisine choices.
One item you might want to include in your list is Danielle’s potato chip chocolate chip cookie. After a friend told her about her potato chip shortbread, she picked up on the idea. “I just went with the idea from there,” she said. “The potato chips give the cookie an added crunch.”
In the near future, the Smiths will add another truck to their business to do double events on the same day.
Recently, their efforts were recognized by The Knot, a wedding vendor website, which awarded them best of caterers in 2024.
For more information, phone 724-914-5741.

A view of the Molly Fleming home from 2014
Historic home proves idyllic repository for owner’s memorabilia collection
By Dave Zuchowski
As if the eye-pleasing, 1-1/2 story bungalow with a pyramidal hipped roof, hipped dormers and a recessed wraparound porch in California, Pa. wouldn’t be the apple of any owner’s eye, Barry Niccolai has another reason to praise its virtues.
As the tenth and current owner of the 1912 historic house with craftsman and colonial revival details, Niccolai also finds his Wood Street home an apt repository for the multitude of local and family memorabilia he’s collected over the years.
“The house was built for Molly Fleming, a widow who used her insurance money to build the house,” he said. “She’s said to have had a colorful personality, but only got to live in the house a short while before moving away.
According to livingplaces.com, the Molly Fleming House “is significant ... as a regionally important example of early twentieth-century bungalow architecture.”
The entry goes on to say that, “The presence of California University of Pennsylvania has resulted in numerous historic middle- and upper-class houses being purchased by the college or divided into rental housing for students. As a result, most historic houses in California have been heavily altered and no longer retain architectural integrity. Only scattered examples of typical nineteenth and early twentieth-century middle-class housing remain intact. Of this type, the Fleming House is a
rare intact example of bungalow architecture.”
Although Niccolai was raised in nearby Blainsburg, he lived in a “typical frame house” in California at the time he decided to purchase the Fleming House in 1989.
“It had been up for sale for a while before I decided to buy it,” Niccolai said. “I was drawn to it for its historic significance and architectural features, and the simple fact that I like older houses. I don’t think I could have found a better example of a house in the condition, location and the number of interesting architectural features it had than the Fleming House.”
Since moving in, his only upgrades were replacing the roof after a hailstorm and an outside retaining wall. In 1997, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. When Niccolai moved into the Fleming House, he brought along about one-third of his current memorabilia collection. He said he learned to enjoy collecting from his father, Richard, an agent for the Metropolitan Insurance Company. When his father went out to collect premiums from his clients, those in the remodeling process often gave him objects, which he added to an ever-growing collection. Soon, he took his son along on bottle collecting adventures, which interested young Barry in the hobby.
Most of Niccolai’s current collection has found its way onto his home’s walls, cabinets and tables. Only the paper items are stored away for safekeeping. Over the years, his collection grew
by scouting estate and yard sales and antique stores, but his greatest source of finds came from word of mouth from friends, relatives and acquaintances.
“Recently, I’ve been cutting back on collecting because I’m running out of wall space,” he said.
As a retired dean of student services and associate vice president for student affairs at PennWest University California (formerly California University of Pennsylvania) and currently CEO of Centerville Clinics, Niccolai has an affinity for local memorabilia and is especially drawn to that of his family.
On one side of a wall, he’s mounted a violin once played by a great-grandfather on his mother’s side. Nearby, he’s displayed two clarinets from his great-grandfather on his father’s side. Housed in protective cases are the immigration certificates for his great-grandmother, Julia Tushak, and his great-grandfather, Giogio Niccolai.
On a wall, you can find a Catholic home anointing box used to administer the last rites to sick or dying family members. Another religious artifact, a small chalk altar for home display owned by his grandmother, Julia Niccolai, is a colorful and detailed standout.
Upstairs in the bedroom, a quilt draped over the front of the bed was hand-sewn by his great-grandmother, Mary Tyhonas, and made from colorful felt patches she used to get in bags of laundry detergent.
Local memorabilia include a 1934 trophy presented to the California American Legion for its most increased membership status that year, and a set of 24 Cal U dinner plates kept in a china closet in the dining room. Art-wise, Niccolai mounted two watercolors on a wall — one of St. Peter’s Church in Brownsville and another of the Lily Farm Stone House in Coal Center.
From a pair of wooden shoes brought back from WWII by his uncle Mike Tyhonas, a gift for Niccolai’s mother, Joan Matty Niccola, to an old dining room table, one of the first bought at auction in Fayette City, every nook and cranny seems filled with one sort of memory or another.
Even on the staircase going to the basement game room, the wall recalls family history like the football cards of Armand Niccolai, a cousin of his grandfather, who held the Steelers scoring record until Roy Gerela broke it.
One of his most treasured items is also one of the oldest and rarest — a one-of-a-kind cornerstone from the original Granville school of 1852. Niccolai discovered it in the possession of his uncle, Mike Tyhonas, after his passing while cleaning out his garage in anticipation of the sale of the property. It had been hidden away in the garage attic, sealed in a wooden box he made for it and discovered just days before the property’s sale.
“My collection brings together my love of family and community, and the house serves as an appropriate place to keep and display the historic artifacts I’ve collected over the years,” he said.

DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Jungmin L. Lee, M.D.
If you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms, EGD could be the key to uncovering the cause and finding relief.
Jungmin L. Lee, M.D. Gastroenterologist, Pittsburgh Gastroenterology Associates
Imagine you’ve been struggling with heartburn or discomfort in the stomach, and despite trying different remedies, the symptoms just won’t go away. This is where Upper Endoscopy (EGD) can help. EGD is a medical procedure that lets doctors examine your upper digestive system— the esophagus, stomach, and the beginning of the small intestine. With the help of a thin, flexible tube with a camera, inserted gently through your mouth while you’re under sedation, doctors can get a close look to find out what might be causing your symptoms.
Acid Reflux and the Role of EGD
For many people, the story starts with acid reflux—when stomach acid escapes into the esophagus, leading to heartburn. Some may also experience symptoms like a cough, a feeling of a lump in the throat, or even hoarseness. While acid reflux is common, untreated, it can lead to serious conditions like esophagitis or Barrett’s esophagus, a precursor to esophageal cancer. If acid reflux persists or new symptoms arise, your doctor may recommend an EGD to determine if these more severe conditions are present and ensure you get the right treatment.
Swallowing Difficulty and EGD for Diagnosis
Imagine sitting down to a meal and suddenly feeling like food won’t go down smoothly. This is a common experience for those with difficulty swallowing, a symptom that may be caused by esophageal narrowing, motility (peristalsis) issues, or something more serious like cancer. EGD allows doctors to directly see what’s happening inside the esophagus, identifying blockages, inflammation, or growths early, which is crucial for proper treatment and avoiding serious complications.
Abdominal Pain, Indigestion, and the Importance of EGD
Now consider a different scenario: you’ve been dealing with indigestion—nausea, bloating, or stomach pain that seems to linger. While indigestion often stems from benign causes like diet or stress, sometimes it’s a sign of more serious conditions like gastritis, ulcers, or even stomach cancer. EGD helps doctors rule out these more severe issues, ensuring that any potential problems are caught early and treated effectively.
If you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms, EGD could be the key to uncovering the cause and finding relief.
