Dairy King
Remembering Scranton’s Last
Home Delivery Milkman
M
ary Grace Zelsnack
used to sneak a
taste of the
expanding, half-frozen
cream from just under the
cap of a cold, glass milk
bottle delivered daily to
the back porch of her
Scranton
home. She
knew her
mother liked
to use the rich,
white liquid to
whip into
cream, so she
had to act
quickly to get
the milk bottles on winter
mornings. The
81-year-old
recalls the
days of home
milk delivery with fondness.
Her uncle, Emil Schwiter,
owned the dairy farm.
She often visited her uncle’s
farm to see the cows milked
and the milk pasteurized and
bottled before her uncle per
Schwiter was Scranton’s last
home delivery milkman. He
delivered milk for over 60
years, first from his own
Moscow dairy farm and then
as a dairy dealer for Dairylea.
He began in 1926, in the days
when glass bottles sat on
blocks of ice as they held
cream-topped milk en route
to restaurants, mom-and-pop
stores and family porches. He
and his brother had an ani98
mal farm, but they gave it up
to solely work on Maple View
Farm Dairy, their dairy at their
parents’ homestead on Route
307. Schwiter worked seven
days a week, starting his
deliveries daily at 5 a.m.
Zelsnack recalls her uncle’s
tenacity, explaining how he
once delivered milk from his
automobile after the delivery
truck broke down. She especially loved summer days
when she would meet her
uncle in the street and he
would break off tiny pieces of
ice from the ice block and
give one to her and the other
neighborhood children. On
visits to the dairy, she looked
forward to the tall glass of
buttermilk her aunt always
had waiting for her. Schwiter
was 79 years old when he
retired.
77-year-old husband, Martin
Zelsnack, Sr., wanted to keep
his memory, and his nearly forgotten occupation, alive.“It
was something special from a
bygone era,” explains Zelsnack.
“He milked by hand, pasteurized the milk, bottled it and
then delivered it. I
remember cleaning
the empty glass
milk bottles, so he
could take them to
use again. The
cream would rise,
and he would
deliver it from
crates on his own
farm. It was fresh…
such nice memories.” She says it’s
easy to forget
where food comes
from when one just
reaches into a grocer’s cooler
to grab a carton of milk.“They
don’t realize the work that
goes into what a farmer does,”
she says.“We had that gift, that
we saw everything– the whole
process. We didn’t take it for
granted.”
Schwiter was honored by an
article in the Scrantonian on
September 13, 1987. In addition to his dairy and delivery
job, he also owned a motel. As
with the milk he delivered for
decades, the well-known saying is also true about Schwiterthe cream rises to the top.

The Art of Worship
8th Annual Tour of
Historic Churches of
Greater Pittston
ith the help of expert iconographer Father Joseph Bertha,
this tour takes a closer look at
the art behind local houses of worship.
The manner in which these icons were
created and their spiritual significance
will be explored in depth as the tour
explores two very different Pittston
churches.

are both so unique, that this year the tour
that usually features many churches has
been devoted entirely to these two to
provide time to fully appreciate their individuality.“Saint Michael’s is adorned with
a magnificent array of icons, and the
Italian Christian Church is a model of simplicity,” Lokuta says. Details such as
stained glass windows, which are figurative at Saint Michael’s and non-figurative
at the Italian Church, are examined deeper on this iconographic tour.

Dr. Iqbal

GeisingerCommunity

Center’s Joint

offers advice about how
to stay healthy at every
stage of a man’s life.
20s
Eat right and exercise.
Heart disease is one of the
biggest killers of men, no
matter the age, and evidence supports that it’s due
to poor diet and insufficient
physical activity. Doing the
equivalent of four to five
30-minute workouts per
week was found to be sufficient to significantly reduce
the risk of heart disease.
30s
Make an appointment.
Most men do not visit the
doctor regularly. Serious
sports injuries might warrant a doctor’s visit; pain in
the neck and back are common. Men can also have
sleep apnea problems,
which can then lead to
other more serious problems or can be a sign that
something else is wrong, for
110
example breathing problems or weight issues.
Weight training helps to
stimulate the release of
growth hormone, which
regulates body fat storage.
40s
Get the test. Limit the
stress.
Examination is necessary
for men in their 40s to
detect prostate cancer,
which is the leading fatal
cancer in non-smoking
men. Now is the time to
take control of the stress
factors in your life. Go for a
walk; enjoy family and relax.
Be sure to visit your physician regularly.
that you can control. For
example, if you have high
cholesterol or high blood
pressure, follow a physicianled treatment plan. People
are living longer today with
better healthcare treatment, prevention, medical
technology and research.
All Ages
Avoid obesity.
Exercise regularly and commit to losing weight if you
are overweight.

50s
Limit the fat. Increase the
fiber.
Men have increased risk of
bowel, prostate and lung
cancer in their 50s. Mental
health is also an issue, and
hormone balance plays a
role in men’s health. A lowfat, high-fiber diet and regular exercise may help to
prevent or slow the rate of
growth of prostate cancer.
60s & beyond
Keep it under control.
The older you get, the more
susceptible you are to

some stroke risk factors –
such as family history, age
and race – but there are
other contributing factors

he Munsters, the Love Bug, Batman,

and Miami Vice all featured dynamic automobiles that actually became

such as the Munstermobile, Batmobile,
Herby and General Lee. Sometimes the
autos were a bigger draw than the actors!
That could well be the case with one vehicle that had a speaking role and made plot

who built a near-perfect replica of KITT,
which they share for special events. “KITT
wasn’t purchased as a replica car. Instead it
was hand-built by our family over several
years to achieve 80 percent accuracy with
the TV version of the car,” says Joe Fiduccia.
“True to a quote from the show where ‘one
man can make a difference,’ we’re proud to
say we leverage the drawing-power KITT has
for community good. It doesn’t just sit in the
garage. We regularly rent the car to major
events and charities all across the country.”
KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) is
the black, 1984 Pontiac Trans Am driven by
Michael Knight, a former policeman
employed to fight crime by the “Foundation
of Law and Order.” The show starred David
Hasselhoff, but the real hero was supercar
KITT, which was outfitted with artificial
intelligence, special tactical systems and
turbo boost mode allowing it to leap over
obstacles at 300mph. KITT is established as
the most popular TV automobile.
The car has all the features folks will remember from the show - the authentic voice
(with the updated ability for two-way conversation), a front CO2 sprayer that simulates
a fire extinguisher, rear oil-slick capability,
rear rocket launcher, jet engine turbine
sound effects synced with the engine, voiceactivated dash with full functionality and
cockpit and rear-mounted camera system
with night vision. The Pocono KITT has a different rear hatch, a Notchback, which was a
GM option produced in 1988 for Trans Am.
Of the 624 Notchbacks sold in the U.S., less
than a dozen remain on the road. Since it’s

an original feature, the Fiduccias opted
to keep it on the car, making it the
world’s only Notchback-style KITT replica.
“We allow kids, and occasionally even
adults, to sit inside the car, take photos
and learn about all the cool gadgets
that make KITT unforgettable,” adds
Ania Fiduccia.“And this is something
not very many custom car owners are
willing to do! Fans donate to the charity
for that opportunity… resulting in KITT
