1992 – 20 Years Ago Pittston City Council honored retiring Fire Chief James Ruane with a proclamation recognizing his many years of service. Ruane was hired in 1961 as a part-time fire truck driver. He was promoted to full-time in 1974 and served as assistant chief from 1986 to 1990 when he was appointed chief. The St. Mary’s Assumption Girls varsity team captured the Wyoming Valley Girls Basketball League championship for the second consecutive year. Members of the team were Jillian Dessoye, Jennifer Lojewski, Kiera Feeney, Aimee Grabosky, Elizabeth Grimes, Jill Grabowski, Suzanne Naples, Crissy Amitia, Christine Healey, Margaret Sammon, and Wendy Boos. Len Lojewski coached JV and Joe Heffers, varsity. In the Sunday Dispatch column “On My Mind” written by Dick Cosgrove, James Baiera of West Pittston was the focus of a story highlighting his staunch support of the New York Yankees. A retired barber, Baiera recalled his first excursion to Yankee Stadium in 1923 with friends Sam “Speed” Vullo and Tony Palma. Each had $5 to cover their expenses for the day. Through the years, Baiera had seen Babe Ruth play, met Joe DiMaggio
and received an autographed baseball from Yankee relief pitcher Joe Ostrowski of Wyoming, which he later donated to a raffle to help children. The Yankees began their 1923 world championship season on April 18 as they opened Yankee Stadium. Babe Ruth christened the new stadium with a home run.
