Sue Cisko: Supportive steps

Nippersink Middle School teacher praised for listening ear

Walking 10,000 steps at a good clip through their Spring Grove neighborhood, Sue Cisko and Marlene Nei, wearing bright yellow, have returned lost dogs and wayward children.

The nightly walks work as therapy sessions for the best friends, a time when Cisko is able to unwind after work and Nei worries about her husband’s health troubles. When the weather doesn’t cooperate, they descend into the “dungeon” in Marlene’s house to use the treadmill.

“We can talk about anything and everything,” Cisko said. “We talk about things that I don’t say to my husband.”
