Help for my unbelief

Today’s Jesus, the Easter
Jesus, is the one I want to be-
lieve in. He’s the Jesus of tri-
umph, the Jesus of everlasting
life.
But it’s the Garden at Geth-
semane Jesus that I most identi-
fy with. He’s the Jesus of fear,
the Jesus of doubt.
My faith, I must confess, is
rife with doubt. The Garden at
Gethsemane Jesus understands
this.
It’s my faith, let me empha-
size, that’s weak, not my love of
Christ. That’s stronger than
ever.
Jesus is the best friend I’ve
ever had and I’ll take up a cross
for him any day. I’m just not
completely positive it leads to
resurrection.
I discuss this with Jesus all
the time, and I do talk to Him
all the time, first thing in the
morning, for certain, and al-
ways last thing at night.
And most definitely if I
should awake from my sleep
during the night. That’s when I
have my best conversations
with Him, even though they
often begin with, “Jesus, I’m
not so sure you exist, but …”
Then I become the Biblical
father of the sick child who
tells Jesus, “Yes I believe; help
my unbelief.”
That’s me – one big contra-
diction.
If I were Jesus I think I might
be mad at me by now. Eddie, I
might say, how many times do I
have to reassure you? But I’m
not Jesus. Good. Jesus, one
would think, has the patience of
a saint.
And a sense of humor, I
hope.
My head is filled with teach-
ings of Jesus: want to be first,
be willing to be last; want to
find yourself, lose yourself;
love your God with your whole
heart and mind and your neigh-
bor as yourself; be careful
where you store up your riches,
for that is where your heart will
be. Those I adhere to without
much trouble. But the one that
trips me up is: “Do not put the
Lord, thy God, to the test.”

Local Catholic radio station on-air fund raiser this week
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Father Leo McKernan is well-
known as the pastor of St. Mon-
ica’s Church of the Wyomings,
the new parish created by the
merger of St. Joseph’s and Our
Lady of Sorrows parishes.
But he’s got another gig a lot of
folks may not know about – he’s
the host of his own radio show.
Father McKernan hosts his
show “Reflections with Father
Leo” four times a week on JMJ
Catholic Radio on WQOR 750
AM.
And here’s another thing not
widely known – JMJ has been lo-
cated in Pittston at the St. Joseph
Oblates Seminary on Rt. 315 for
three years.
Ed Niewinski and his wife
Carol manage the 1600-watt sta-
tion, a 501c3 non-profit organi-
zation that depends on listener
donations and underwriters Bon-
ner Chevrolet and Saporito Law
Offices for operating capital.
For Holy Week this week on
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri-
day the station will conduct an
on-air fund raiser in conjunction
with National Catholic Radio’s
Radiothon. During local breaks
JMJ Radio will accept donation
pledges on air.
Ed explained how the station’s
studio wound up in Oblates
building. He and his wife were
volunteers and on the advisory
board for the owner of several
Catholic radio stations, one of
which was in Scranton. Four
years ago that owner called Ed
and said donations were down to
the point where he couldn’t keep
the Scranton station going and
he wanted to sell it.
Ed understood the owner’s po-
sition. “I said ‘that’s fine, I hope
you sell it to someone who will
keep it Catholic.’ He couldn’t
guarantee that. So my wife and I
went to Landmark Bank and se-
cured a loan with our personal
guarantee and bought the sta-
tion.” The sale included the FCC
license, the studio equipment, a
satellite dish and the transmitter
on Olyphant Mountain from
where the station’s signal can re-
ach Luzerne, Lackawanna and
Monroe Counties and the South-
ern Tier of New York.
At the time the station was
renting studio space in Scranton.
Three years ago in March of
2008 the station moved the stu-
dio to a free space at the Oblates
Seminary offered by Fr. Paul
McDonnell, O.S.J. the Oblates
Seminary Rector. How did that
happen? “I went to him on my
hands and knees and asked,” Ed
said with a laugh.
Volunteers moved the studio
into the Oblates and set up the
satellite dish outside to receive
National Catholic Radio feeds
which provide 60 percent of the
programming for the station
which broadcasts from sunrise to
sunset seven days a week.
The other 40 percent is pro-
duced locally, including Father
McKernan’s show and shows
hosted by Jerry Gilmartin, Ann
Marie Yeager, Carol Margetts
and Arlene McCabe.
Go to www.jmj750.com for a
programing schedule.
Ed said based on calls to the
station housewives and over-the-
road truckers and salesmen com-
prise a lot of the station’s audi-
ence, though Catholics of all
stripes do tune in.
Ed and Carol emphasize that
the station has no paid staff and is
operated entirely by volunteers
and is dependent on donations to
survive.

Maxwell Marcus founded the Exeter Historical Society
With Jack Smiles
Maxwell Marcus, 64, has lived
most of life in Exeter, where he
graduated from Exeter High
School in 1964. He graduated
from King’s in ’68 with degrees
in Political Science and History
then was drafted and served in
the Army for three years, includ-
ing a year in Vietnam.
After the Army he got a mas-
ter’s degree from Villanova in
Public Administration and then
worked for the IRS for 20 years
in out of the area before coming
back to Exeter.
What was it like growing up
in Exeter?
It was a typical small town,
where every neighborhood had
its own teams and you had your
own buddies. Every street was
different. I was on Lincoln and
we were friends with kids from
Penn Avenue and maybe as far
down as Orchard Street. Then
from Orchard down to Schooley
that was another group and then
Sullivan Park. First Ward was
another group. It was fine grow-
ing up here.
They had the Liberty Theater
in Exeter. I think it closed in ‘64,
after that we would walk to
Wyoming to go to the movies or
walk or get a ride to Pittston. My
father had an insurance business
in Pittston. To us Pittston was
like New York City.
People talk about Pittston,
but Exeter had its own down-
town?
Oh yeah. They had the theater,
they had supermarkets, they had
dry goods stores. There was a ba-
by store. A lot of them were Jew-
ish merchants. Abe Kaufman
had a feed store. Sam Stern had a
furniture store. Mark’s had a su-
permarket. My grandfather had
Montrose Beef. They got people
from all over. Then there were
others who weren’t Jewish.
Charlie’s ice cream store. Tony
Workomski had an Army Navy
store next to Zavada’s pool room.
There were a lot of pool rooms.
And, of course, a bar on every
corner.
Were there a lot of Jewish
people in the area?
PAGE 4
We went to the Exeter Syn-
agogue. It was where Sickler’s
Maxwell Marcus
has a parking lot now. My father
was the secretary. My uncles
were the presidents. They still
have a cemetery in West Pittston
and I’m the vice-president. Exe-
ter even had a Jewish burgess,
Max Gross in the 1890s.
There was a synagogue in Pitt-
ston. We’d go over there some-
times.
The Exeter synagogue lasted
from probably 1906 to 1975.
What happened to the local
Jewish population?
The same thing that happened
with any ethnic group. There
were a lot of Jewish merchants,
Jewish family businesses. World
War II was a big dividing point.
After the war some people held
on to the businesses and the chil-
dren went into it, but a lot of
them didn’t. The second and
third generations became profes-
sional people. They went to col-
lege. They had to leave for op-
portunities. They didn’t want to
come home to run a fruit store or
market. The same happened to
the Irish, Italians, Protestants.
Look what’s happening to St.
Cecilia’s, St. John’s, the Polish
church on Schooley Street.
They’re all hurting for number,
money. I’m sick about St. Mary’s
Assumption school closing.
Okay, money rules everything,
S U N D AY S I T D O W N
even more. That was another di-
viding point. Now there are
probably about 1800, so it’s hard
to keep the synagogues going.
Given that, why did you
come back?
My mother was elderly and
living alone and I wanted to
come back. I was in collection
with the IRS, which was no fun.
(Laughs). It’s hard to be hard-
nosed. You’re torn between what
you think is right and what they
[the IRS] want. They want some-
thing and they have to have it.
Vietnam?
I was drafted. I was in the Ar-
my three years. For one year I
was stationed at Qui Nhon, a port
where deep draft ships came in.
It was a support command. I
wasn’t in infantry, but we pulled
guard duty. It was a long year.
You helped start the Exeter
Historical Society. Why?
give it its due, but I think we lose I was one of the founders with
something every time something Kate Gibbons. We founded it be-

the Battle of Wyoming was and
people would say right where the
Monument is.
Very, very few people knew it
was in Exeter. I got to be friendly
with Steve Killian of the Histor-
ical Society. He led a walking
tour that started on Fourth Street
at the Avenue in Wyoming and
went up to Valley Street in Exe-
ter. At Fourth Street he said look
down the street and see if you can
see Susquehanna Ave. and you
can’t. Exeter is a lot narrower
that Wyoming from Susquehan-
na to the Avenue. It’s something
you know, but never really think
about.
The British funneled the colo-
nists into that narrow area. It was
a sucker move. Fort Wintermute
was on the corner of Valley and
Susquehanna. So the colonists
saw smoke and flames coming
from there and the colonists
thought, oh, they’re fleeing now,
but they weren’t. The British did
this to lure them and they walked
right into the trap.
Valley Street was where the
main line of battle was. It was all
farmland or woods then.

Antique businessmen still waiting for Argo apology
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
When the city’s redevelop-
ment authority acquired the for-
mer Wayne’s World building at
30 South Main Street an awning
was part of the deal.
As the authority’s plan for re-
constructing the façade of the
building does not include the
awning, the city offered it to
Mark Williamson and Ryan
Ksiezopolski, proprietors of
Yore Antiques two doors north at
25 South Main on the corner of
Charles Street.
The business partners happily
accepted the offer and asked the
authority to store the awning in a
space which is part of their prop-
erty behind Yore Antiques until
they could renovate it and mount
it out front.
A few days later when they ar-
rived at their business to start
their work day, the 23-foot long,
150-pound, reinforced alumi-
num frame awning was gone.
Williamson and Ksiezopolski
estimated, based on replacement
value, the awning was worth
$8,000 to $10,000.
After spending the morning

nover to Carbondale in an effort

to determine if someone had sto-
len it to sell as scrap they filed a
police report.
An investigation quickly de-
termined the awning had been
removed by city public works
workers by order of Councilman
Danny Argo.
A few days after the awning
went missing, Williamson and

awning as a favor to the proprie-
tor of Jackett’s Central Lunch
who said the awning was limit-
ing her use of the back of the res-
taurant making deliveries diffi-
cult.
Williamson and Ksiezopolski
accused Argo of acting unilater-
ally and irresponsibly and de-
manded an apology.
Officials apologized on behalf
of the city, but Argo would not.
“It was a misunderstanding,”
Argo said. “I went into the Cen-
tral one morning and they were
telling me somebody put an awn-
ing out back that blocked her
kitchen. They were complaining
about deliveries. I had no idea it
was their property (Williamson
and Ksiezopolski) so I had them
(DPW) get it out of there. It was
innocent. Nothing happened. It
wasn’t damaged and it was put
back. It was a misunderstanding
and any rational person could see
that. They are making a big deal
out of it for political reasons.”
As to his refusal to apologize,
Argo said, “We they got up to
speak at the meeting they said
they had been watching me pick
my nose. Somebody like that
doesn’t deserve acknowledg-
ment.”

 West Wyoming gets Governor’s Award
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 2011

Through state’s Early Intervention program, borough avoided bankruptcy

West Wyoming Borough re-
ceived a Governor’s Award for
Local Government Excellence
in the category of “responding to
adversity” for taking initiatives
to reverse a deteriorating finan-
cial situation.
Through Pennsylvania’s Early
Intervention program, and with
assistance from the Pennsylva-
nia Economy League, West
Wyoming Borough officials re-
viewed every facet of their gov-
ernment and made difficult deci-
sions to strengthen financial
management and administrative
practices.
By implementing best man-
agement practices, the borough
was able to stabilize its finances
in less than a year and finished
last year in the black for the first
time in five years.

Elementary Education. Steve has
done his student teaching at Did you ever notice how deco-
rative an egg
looks after it is dyed?
Did you ever discover an East-
er chick so beautifully
yellow and wide?
How about on an Easter Day so
sunny,
discovering a floppy-eared
Easter bunny?
Materialized symbols these all
are, of a Blessed
holiday season which is en-
joyed from afar!
We hunt for the Easter eggs as
children, We
take home a delicious or a pas-
tel-colored prize,
Yes, how unique it would be to
see a beautiful
fluffy chickadee hatch right
before our very
eyes.
The Easter bunny delivers to
children the
beautiful Easter eggs.
Now we as adults realize, that
when we
were all children, we did noth-
ing but fantasize
We have been blessed, from the
start of Lent
until now, with the ultimate
imagination our
minds do allow.
Because, just as the bear will
beg for the
lick of some honey.
So lives on our child-like
friendship with
the "Easter egg, the chick and
the Easter bunny!"

Our Easter Wish For You
I remember times of Easter
past,
Following past seasons of Lent
Which are times of fast!
I remember the family seated
around the table,
Keeping our prayers and
Our alms givings stable!
My mother would dress us so
nicely,
We would dress in our Sunday
best,
Then, we would go to church,
And Jesus would take care of
the rest.
Yes, I remember since I was a
little boy
How Easter brought the family
Times of togetherness and joy!
My parents would hide our
Easter baskets,
They would fill them with pre-
sents and candy,
Yes our Easter morning was
definitely dandy!
The day before Easter my sis-
ter and I
Would color our Easter eggs
Until the day passed us by.
My grandma would help us.
She would do her best,
And with the other eggs, well,
again,
Jesus took care of the rest.
My mother’s Easter pizza of
ham and cheese is
Also another of my mom’s
ways to please!
Yes, praying, going in your
Sunday best,
Coloring eggs, hiding Easter
baskets,
Family joy true and true,
Is my family’s Easter wish of
the English’s,
"Our Easter Wish for You"
Michael J. English
Signs are looking up on Main St. Award
First of new style signs installed
By Jack Smiles
The city’s plan for sprucing up
the look of the South Main busi-
ness corridor includes new sig-
nage. The city has money for
small façade grants and is part-
nering with businesses to create
a more uniform signage look.
A worker from Fiesler Signs of
Pittston puts the finishing tou-
ches on the first of the new vil-
lage-style signs that are planned
for Pittston businesses.

In the past when new business-
es opened in the city, the proprie-
tors often just changed the pan-
els on existing signs which cre-
ates a hodgepodge look. In many
cases the hardware mounting the
signs, much of it decades old, is
rusted and unsightly.

çade ordinance is designed to
eventually eliminate the old
signs by requiring business leav-
ing Main Street to take down the
old signs.
This week the first example of
the vintage, village-style, en-
graved wood signage the city
wants to encourage went up at
Yore Antiques at 25 South Main
Street.
Yore Antiques is just down the
street from Palazzo’s Restaurant
which installed a vintage-look
Radio City-style lighted sign a
couple of weeks ago.
Attorney Rose Randazzo who
acts as the city’s pro bono down-
town manager said the sign at
Yore Antiques is just the begin-
ning. “Several more are in the
works,” she said.
Mark Williamson, the proprie-
tor of Yore Antiques with busi-
ness partner Ryan Ksiezopolski,
said the city is doing a good job
encouraging activity on Main
Street.
Through the façade grant the
city provided a portion of the
cost of the new sign. “It’s a good
partnership,” Williamson said.

had $168,000 in unpaid bills and
$32 in its general fund checking
account, but that has all changed.
“Through strict financial poli-
cies and requiring all depart-
ments to stay within their bud-
get, our financial situation has
improved dramatically,” Council
Vice Chairman Gary Stavish
said.
In less than one year, through
the efforts of the borough coun-
cil and with the guidance of the
Pennsylvania Economy League
and borough solicitor Linell Lu-
kesh, the borough is now finan-
cially stable.
The borough has been on bud-
get and finished 2010 in the
black, which was the first time in
five years that happened. The
2011 budget is balanced and tax-
es and fees have remained un-
changed.
Even though the financial pic-
ture looks better, Cipriani is
quick to point out there are still
issues facing the borough. “West
Wyoming has a stagnate tax
base, so like many other munici-
palities across the state, it strug-
gles to maintain the services that
residents require, without bur-
dening them with higher taxes,
but with the policies we have es-

she said.
This recognition was part of
the 15th annual Governor’s
Awards for Local Government
Excellence.
In total eight local government
leaders and 10 communities
across the state received awards
presented by Lt. Governor James
Cawley on Friday April 15 in
Harrisburg.
“There are 2562 local govern-
ments in Pennsylvania, so we are
excited and honored to be recog-
nized by the Governor for this
achievement,” concluded Ci-
priani.
Mundy said congratulations
are in order for West Wyoming
Borough. “West Wyoming is a
perfect example of how hard
work and innovation can pay
off,” Mundy said. “I would like
to congratulate the Council
members, the Mayor, and staff
for their unwavering dedication
in bringing the borough back
from the brink of bankruptcy.”

OUR OPINION YO U R S PAC E

Sunset at Lake Jean, Rickett’s Glen

Dare we wish
Happy Easter
It’s Easter Sunday a day when hundreds
of millions of Christians around the world
celebrate the Resurrection of their Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Let’s not be afraid to acknowledge that
and to wish the Christians among us a
Happy Easter.
Supposedly a Seattle school had a,
ahem, Easter Egg Hunt. But it wasn’t
called an Easter Egg hunt. It was called a
“spring sphere” hunt.
Whether it’s a true story or one of those
crazy internet stories we’re not sure. If it’s
not true it probably soon will be, but even
if it’s not true it’s illustrative of the increas-
ing secularization of our society.
Locally Christians built our towns, so-
ciety and culture.
Granted they divided themselves by de-
nomination and ethnicity into enclaves of
Polish, Irish and Italian, etc. Catholics and
English-Welsh Protestants, in what might
be said to be an unchristian-like way to
live.
But at the same time by conducting
their lives with Christian values like self-
reliance, family devotion, hard work, edu-
cation and patriotism they laid the
groundwork for better lives for the gener- Stephanie Griffin submitted this photo of the sun setting over Lake Jean at Rickett’s Glen State Park.

sold and owned slaves in this country, but
it also was they who wrote the laws and
fought the war to end slavery.
Some 600,000 died in that war, the vast
majority of them Christians.
Yes it was Christians who were the ag-
gressors in the Medieval Crusades, but it
was also Christians who stopped the holo-
caust of Jews and end the reign of the
atheistic Nazis in Europe.
Yes it was Christians who participated
in the conquest of indigenous peoples
around the world, but it was also Chris-
tians who established missions in such
places to spread not only the word of their
God, but to spread food, medicine, and
education.
Christians aren’t perfect, as they will
acknowledge, but the best of them strive
to be.
Christianity maybe on the wane in
America, but, given the impact of its his-
tory on our lives and culture, come on,

As a taxpayer and voter, I have adopted the policy of wait and
see when it comes to Wyoming Area School Board Politics. I
wait and eventually see the polluted politics that exist. I don’t
think all politicians are grand standers and I don’t believe that
citizens run for the School Board with the intent of deception,
but just like spring follows winter, it just seems to happen.
Four years ago, Dr. Estelle Campenni ran on a platform of her
credentials and as a breath of fresh air for the taxpayers. She still
has her credentials but the air has become politically polluted
and now we, the taxpayers, are forced to breathe it.
Dr. Campenni promised to end politics as usual in the School
Board’s hiring procedures, however, when the opportunity pre-
sented itself, she chose to hire not one, but two of her cousins. If
experience was the reason, I might understand it but no, it wasn’t
experience, it was plain old nepotism. Right out of college and
into the classroom as full time teachers, that’s not fresh air, that’s
pollution called nepotism. One of her cousins replaced a long
term substitute, so fairness went up the nepotism pollution stack.
Dr. Campenni enjoyed her power so much, she voted to re-
place a part-time job with a full-time position, which includes
to out-source the athletic trainer job to a professional group like
Geisinger or other qualified company; again polluted politically
motivated decisions.
And please don’t forget Dr. Estelle Campenni voted to fire
long time maintenance employee William Simmons. Now the
taxpayers face another potential wrongful termination law suit
thanks in no part to Dr. Campenni’s vote.
When will it end? And why has she been absent over from the
last few meetings? If she is so concerned about the needs of the
taxpayers and the fiscal health of Wyoming Area, her absence
does not demonstrate it and seems a political convenience.
Her utopian platform sounded great at the time and she can
blame whoever she wants for Wyoming Area’s current financial
woes but her votes and selective actions over the past four years
show otherwise. Dr. Campenni wanted to clear the air however,
four years later she has joined the club and brought nothing but
more polluted politics.

SMILES AND FROWNS
by JACK SMILES - jsmiles@psdispatch.com
Random notes on the news
Today hundreds of millions of Christians
around the world celebrate the resurrection of
their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And today
Christians will be persecuted, attacked, arrested
for being Christian and maybe even killed. Today
the Bible, the Holy Book of Christianity, will be
burned.
These things will happen in Muslim countries
like Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
But you’ll have to dig deep into the news to
hear anything about persecution of and attacks on
Christians.
That’s because attacks by Muslims on Chris-
tians don’t fit into the media’s template that it is
Christians who are intolerant and violent against
Muslims.
Yes Bibles are burned everyday and Christians
simply turn the other cheek. But let one kook, a
so-called minister in backwater, Florida, burn the
Koran and look out. Random violence in the
Middle East kills 15 people and who will our
media blame?
Not the perpetrators of the random violence,
no, they are excused. The blame falls squarely on
the kook Koran-burner and by extension Amer-
ican Christians.
Happy Easter.
Oops, I goofed
Two weeks ago I named the wrong judge in
writing about the letters sent to the court request-
ing sentence leniency in the Judge Toole case.
The Judge in the Toole case is U.S. Middle Dis-
trict Judge Richard P. Conaboy.
Sorry about the error and thanks to Joe Castel-
lino for calling me on it.
Reader E-mail
In that column two weeks ago I wrote about
how many little American flags are made in
foreign countries. I got the following email from
Carl Yorina this week.
“ABC national news is doing an ongoing series
on American made products. Tonight, they did a
report on Annin Flag Company. These U.S. made
flags are of excellent quality. The one I have has
lasted over a year. I checked out their on line
catalog and guess what? They make miniature
flags. I honestly didn’t know this. Just wanted to
let you know.”
Thanks for the heads up, Carl.
The key words in the email are “excellent qual-
ity.”
What the Frack?
At a Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority meet-
ing Tuesday, John Minora of PA Northeast Aqua
Resources explained how a proposed plant in
Hanover would treat fracking water. He said 80
percent of the water treated at the plant would be
returned to drillers for reuse in drilling, and the
remaining 20 percent would be treated a second
time using a reverse osmosis process that re-
moves salt and dissolved solids from the water.
He was quoted directly in the Times Leader
saying, “It’s much cleaner than the treated ef-
fluent that we currently discharge, and it’s cleaner
than the water that’s already in the Susquehanna,”
adding that many of the chemicals that would be
removed from the water are found in much high-
er concentrations in gasoline and diesel fuel than
they are in frack water.
He also said building the plant would generate
income for the authority that would provide fund-
ing to build EPA upgrades at the current WVSA
facility and alleviate the need for future rate
increases.
Further he added the plant would also directly
add as many as 20 jobs in the community as well
as indirectly create jobs for truck drivers, inject
money into the local economy and improve road
conditions in the township.
For daring to buck the anti-frack crowd by
saying these things he was booed and heckled.
Impact Assessment
Is Gov. Corbett backing down from his vow not
to impose an extraction tax on the natural gas
drillers? There are hints that he may be open to a
“local impact assessment.”
Is that just a code term for a tax?
Well, maybe, but there is a difference between
a local impact assessment and a state tax. In the
former, the state doesn’t get any of the money, it
all goes to the affected local communities.
While in either case the ultimate cost is going
to be passed on to the consumers as a price add-
on, at least in the case of the local assessment,
the money is kept out of the hands of the spend-
thrift legislature in Harrisburg.
Mickey D’s is Hiring
Tuesday was a nationwide hiring day at McDo-
nald’s Restaurants across the country. The com-
pany planned to hire 50,000 new workers in one
day.
The TV news reports of the event just had to
point how entry-level full-time McDonald’s
workers earn less than the poverty line.
I would love to see a follow up story two years
from now which would track some of the work-
ers hired on Tuesday.
They won’t follow up on it because here’s what
such a story would likely show: most of the
workers hired in April of 2011 moved on the
bigger and better things, some within McDo-
nald’s and others elsewhere.
There will be no such story because it won’t fit
in with the media bias against McDonald’s which
says McDonald’s must be demonized as Big
Hamburg, an evil exploitive business which
keeps people in poverty while at the same time
making them obese.
NUTRITION
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 2011
CORNER
Mary Ehret, MS, RD, LDN
Easter eggs for protein
Eggs have gotten a bad rap over the past years. Many folks avoid
them because of their high cholesterol content. Then, even when
folks find out that the cholesterol was only in the yolk, then came the
salmonella scare.
As with any food, there are food safety tips to keep in mind while
preparing and storing the foods. Here are a few:
Hunting Eggs: Hard-cooked eggs for an egg hunt must be prepared
with care to prevent cracking the shells. If the shells crack, bacteria
could contaminate the inside. Do not hide cracked eggs. Eggs should
be hidden in places that are protected from dirt, pets, and other sourc-
es of bacteria. The total time for hiding and hunting eggs should not
exceed 2 hours. The "found" eggs must be re-refrigerated and eaten
within 7 days of cooking, or discarded.
Storing hard cooked eggs: Avoid freezing hard-cooked eggs, or
hard-cooked white as freezing causes them to be tough and watery.
Hard-cooked eggs in the shell last up to one week when properly
refrigerated.
Eggs are reasonably priced, nutritious, and are an excellent source
of protein. One large egg contains 6 grams of protein. Most of the
protein is found in the egg white (3.6) and a considerable amount,
(2.7) is in the yolk.
To find out how much protein is in the foods we eat, read the food
label. The label tells us both the total number of grams of protein in
the serving size plus the percent of Daily Value (DV) An interesting
point to make is that a gram of protein varies by quality. Just like the
quality of a cotton shirt can vary, so can’t a gram of protein.
Protein’s quality is determined by the number and amount of the
eight essential amino acids. These are the protein building blocks
found in food that our bodies cannot not reconfigure or change to
what our bodies are requiring at that period in time. These eight must
come from the food that we eat.
Egg whites receive the maximum score of 1.0, which is the highest
for protein digestibility corrected amino acid (PDCAAS). This is
based on the amino acid profile of the egg white. In comparison,
chickpeas receive a .66. It is not that one is best and the other not a
good choice, it is important to note that a variety of foods is important
when planning meals and snacks.
In summary, Easter eggs can boost any one’s protein level. Handle
and store eggs safely. Don’t cloud their nutritious value by serving
with bacon and or sausage. Instead, serve with lean ham and or non
starchy vegetables like spinach in an omelet.
Salad Nicoise
( 4 servings )
Boston or Romaine lettuce
1 package (9 oz.) frozen Italian green beans, cooked and drained
4 medium red potatoes, cooked and thinly sliced
4 medium tomatoes sliced or sliced red peppers
8 hard-cooked eggs, sliced (You may substitute cooked chicken,
seedless grapes)
1/4 cup sliced pitted drained ripe olives
Reduced-fat or non-fat Italian dressing
Arrange lettuce leaves on each of 4 salad plates. Mound about 1/2
cup of the beans in the center of each. Arrange potato, tomato and egg
slices in petal fashion around beans. Sprinkle each salad with about 1
tablespoon of the olive slices. Pass the dressing.

teachers to travel to
Harrisburg. What was the purpose of
their trip?
1947 – 64 Years Ago
The excellent financial condition of
the Pittston City school district allowed
city council to lower the per capita tax
from $5 to $3. A reduction in millage
was also being considered but most
council members felt that would strain
the budget in the coming year as reno-
vations of the high school and added
costs created by a “spread out” school
district were rising.
In April of 1947, Dispatch headlines
read “National Government out of the
Red.” President Truman hailed “Good
Times” because for the first time in 17
years, the government ended the fiscal
year with a surplus of $1,250,000,000.
The Chief Executive opposed tax cuts
saying, to do so would lead to inflation.
Frank Yuscavage of West Pittston
advertised lots along the Sullivan Trail
priced at $300 and up stating that “The
sun shines every day at Harding. Ideal
locations to build your dream home, city
conveniences, with healthful advantages
of the country.”
Duryea fishermen considered them-
selves experts at catching big fish. Sev-
eral of the local anglers planned a
school to be conducted by Joseph Rus-
savage and Jack Gillespie. Both were
willing to give out instructions on how a
hook should be baited and what bait to
use to become successful fishermen.
1957 – 54 Years Ago
The Borough of West Pittston was
planning its centennial celebration. Part
of the plans included the publication of a
booklet entitled “Centennial Chronicles.
Victor B. Luchsinger, newspaperman
and borough historian, began assem-
bling facts with the help of heads of
borough organizations and West Pittston
high school students.
The booklet detailed borough histor-
ical data, as well as facts about how
West Pittston was named, the meaning
of the Susquehanna River; floods that
occurred such as the famous “Pumpkin
Flood”; names of all burgesses, post-
masters and elected officials in Luzerne
County and the state legislature.
Also included in the booklet was a
listing of the borough’s mine disasters,
the greatest of which claimed 17 lives,
as well as the Wyoming and Fort Jenkins
Massacres.
The West Pittston Historical Society
was formed in 2001. To read the in-
teresting history and view early photos
of the borough go to www.westpitt-

Floyd Swantkowski’s Pharmacy, Be-
laski’s Service Station Carmen’s Tee
Vee, Luggs Supermarket, Kunigiels
Wallpaper and Paint Store and Walter
Naylor’s Garage, all Duryea businesses,
informed local residents that ballots
could be obtained at their establish-
ments. Borough girls were competing
for the title Miss Duryea in a contest
sponsored by the Lion’s Club.
Bernadine and Judy Aruscavage,
Marian Chicoski, Jean Chipko, Janice
Panick, Peggy Zabrowski, Bernadine
Sobeski, Pat Szumski, Regina Yasul-
itis and Maryanne Rava were just a few
of the girls vying for the title.
450 youngsters showed up at the Jen-
kins Township American Legion Post
938 to search for Easter eggs. James
Burke, Commander of the post, along
with Andrew Lapusnak and Patrick
Duffy, co-chairman of the event, were
pleased with the overwhelming attend-
ance. The post was located on River
Road in Port Blanchard.
With the start of the 1957 baseball
season the Sunday Dispatch Inquiring
Photographer asked area sports fans,
“Who do you think will win the big
league pennants and who will capture
the batting titles?”
Jimmy Suriano of Pittston answered,
“I think the Yanks and Brooklyn will
repeat and Mickey Mantle to take the
American League batting title and either
Hank Aaron or Willie Mays the Nation-
al.”
Joe Falzone, Pittston barber, added,
“The Yankees and the Braves with Stan
Musial to win the National League bat-
ting race.”
Leo Monteforte of Pittston said, “I
pick the Yankees and the Reds. In bat-
ting, it looks like Mantle and Aaron.”
The Yankees and Braves battled in the
’57 Series. The Braves won their first
championship since the "Miracle
Braves" of 1914. Ted Williams of the
Boston Red Sox took the American and
Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals
took the National League batting titles.
Question #2
In 1957 The West Pittston “Brothers
of the Brush” society was formed, what
were these gentlemen planning to do?
1967 – 44 Years Ago
Joseph Montagna of Pittston was
honored by the Pittston Elks Lodge 382
the Man of the Year. Club members
lauded Mr. Montagna for “personifying
the principles of Elkdom such as broth-
erly love, justice, charity and fidelity.”
Some of those attending the event were
Mr. and Mrs. Peter Tabone, Mr. and
Mrs. John Tramontana, Attorney An-
thony J. Lupas, Mr. and Mrs. Philip
Medico.
According to paelks.com on August 2,
1897, The Pittston Lodge was instituted.
This was the same year the nation’s first
automobile insurance policy was issued,
John J. McDermott, won the first run-
ning of the Boston Marathon, the first
such race to be held in America, and
Jell-O was invented.
Several members of the ILGWU re-
ceived certificates for completing a
six-week course in How to Enforce the
Union Agreement conducted by William
Matthews Educational Director for the
union. Sam Bianco, headquarters man-
ager, presented the certificates at a

migrant from Belarus who came to
America in 1911 became president of
ILGWU in 1932. During his presidency
which lasted to 1966, the union experi-
enced unprecedented growth by forming
of the Committee for Industrial Orga-
nization, and enabling the union to be-
come a political force in the national
Democratic Party and Liberal Party.

1977 – 34 Years Ago
Local “barbershoppers” Anthony
D’Angelo and Raymond Ramage of
West Pittston and Ben Tielle and Roy
Thomas of Pittston rehearsed for Har-
mony Month which was being observed
along with the 39th anniversary of the
national organization of Barbershop
singers. According to barbershop.org,
the Barbershop Harmony Society began
with Owen Clifton Cash on April 11,
1938. Cash and acquaintance Rupert
Hall were interested in getting a few
guys together to sing. Cash drafted an
invitation and mailed it to the 14 singers
he knew might show up and encouraged
them to bring guests, 26 showed. By the
following week, the amount of singers
tripled.
After Dupont celebrated its bicenten-
nial in 1976 the planning committee
decided to stay active and continue its
beautification efforts in the borough. In
doing so, the committee hoped to keep
alive the spirit of the bicentennial year.
Tony Smithonic, Bob Jones, John
Boyer, Stanley “Poncho” Piechota,
Tom Titton, Mayor Michael Kamin-

Bernie Krappa used a beautiful April
day to plant the cherry trees at Memorial
Playground. Future projects were being
planned.

MOTHER’S DAZE
It’s all relative
Recently, I was considering
how lucky my children are that
they’re in everyday contact with
both sets of grandparents.
They have their traditions al-
ready established and these
come into play most clearly
around the holidays.
And sometimes it’s like re-liv-
ing my own childhood over and
over again.
Every. Single. Day.
Each year, my father joins us
for Easter Mass. We picked him
up last Easter Sunday and I ar-
rived too early. He’d called the
prior evening with dark predic-
tions about limited parking and
cramped seating. As always, he
scared me into a reaction, so I
beeped for him a full 30 minutes
before the start of Mass. Even
though it was his prompting that
made me so damn early, he felt
rushed and frazzled. He quickly
recovered however, in time to re-
gurgitate the annual Easter Joke.
My eye roll was palpable.
“Hey! Have I told you the one
about the anesthetized bunny?!”
(In my head I’m doing calcula-
tions. If I’m 48 years old, yes, I’d
say I heard this joke about 48
times.)
“He was the “Ether Bunny”
get it…ETHER?!!!”
I’m sure he expected gales of
laughter but sadly, my children
have no idea what “anesthe-
tized” means, nor “ether”, thank
God.
Me, on cue: “Heh, heh. Good
one, Pops.”
It was going to be a
lonnnngggg morning.
We arrived at the church and it
was virtually empty. As my hus-
band stated repeatedly, “We
could’ve parked on the steeple
for God’s sake, there were so
many choice parking spaces”.
As we seated ourselves, sepa-
rating the boys from their sister
and me from my father, Dad
stated, loudly,” HOLY CRAP!
Why don’t we sit up on the altar
while we’re at it!”
I’d forgotten that he doesn’t
enjoy being so close to the
“stage”. I reminded him to
please adjust his hearing aid, be-
PAGE 18
cause I was sure they could hear
him clearly behind the sound-
proof glass of the crying room.
I realized, too late, that I
should’ve also separated my
boys from my father. I had mis-
calculated the tom-foolery quo-
tient of all “boys”. As I rose to
the opening prayer, I noticed my
kids were all giggling, manically.
I shot them all my: “Knock it off
or no donuts after church look”
until it became apparent it was
my father who was the culprit,
making shadow figures on the
seat in front of us with his hands.
I believe it was either a bunny
or Richard Nixon, but either way,
he was grounded.
In the midst of the sermon, he
nudged my son. “Hey, Nick.
Wanna borrow Grampa’s comb?
You could use it!”
My son sighed heavily, as this
is one tradition that never gets
stale for my father. “Grampa, I
like my hair this way. It’s sup-
posed to look messy.”
Grampa: “Well, how ‘bout that
collar? Is that supposed to look
messy too? Put it down. Put it
down!”
My son assured him with
strained patience: “Grampa, I
told you, all the kids pop their
collars!”
My father snorted and yelled,
“Well, in my day, we went to
church in a tie and sports coat!
Boys looked like gentlemen!
And”... he looked at me pointed-
ly, apparently misinterpreting
my folded hands and bowed head
as his signal to continue his dis-

church! That’s how it should be!
It was a question of respect!”
“Dad!” I hissed. “If I get a
comb through my hair and
change out of my slippers before
church, then by God, I’m ahead
of the game! Make me slap a
freaking bonnet on my head and
you’re just asking for trouble!”
As we exited church, he was
warming-up for his next favorite
church topic: people who take up
two spaces with one car. Or,
more tragically, people who stay
and chat after Mass when they’re
clearly blocking a car parked be-
hind them! In his mind, this
should classify as the eighth
deadly sin.
“Did I ever tell you about the
time…?”
Me: “Yes. Every week.”
… “I waited in my car for
twenty minutes …”
Me: “Heard it.”
Him: “…before that rude
churchgoer lady decided to
come and move her car! AND, I
had to go to the bathroom!”
Me: “Dad, we’ve discussed
this twenty times. I told you I was
sorry! I never did it again, did I?
He harrumphed. “Disrespect-
ful, that’s all.”

The Greater Pittston YMCA
2011 Annual Campaign is about
to begin. This year’s campaign
entitled “Help Change a Life”
will kick-off on Monday, May 2,
with an evening of elegant dining
at Brutico’s Restaurant, Old
Forge. The goal of the campaign
is to raise $50,000.
“We believe in the Greater
Pittston community and we ap-
preciate the support they have
given us in previous years,” said
Debby Mendicino, executive di-
rector. “I truly believe this year
will be no different.”
Money raised from the annual
campaign is used by the YMCA
to help fund the organization’s
childcare program and sports
and aquatics programs.
“The money is for the chil-
dren,” said Mendicino. “This is
about improving and enriching
their lives.”

The battle only lasted 45 min-
utes. It wasn’t much of a battle. It
was a massacre. There were ex-
perienced soldiers who were
home on leave and they knew it
was a trap, but the hotheads
among the colonists said no
we’re going in and they got
themselves killed.
Why is important to know
the battle was in Exeter?
Because I’m from Exeter
(Laughs.) Because we don’t
want revisionist history.
What else is the society inter-
ested in?
We’ve had programs on the
mine tragedies in Exeter. The
Schooley shaft was in 1947.
Where Murawski’s Electrical is
now.
It was early in the morning
when they were going down the
shaft. There was an explosion, 10
or 12 men were killed. The
Knight Mine Disaster, 19 or 20
killed. It was in the Black Desert.
Bill Hastie said he’s going to take
me there someday. That was
was around 1858-1860 around
Valley Street.
The McNeil family, the police
chief’s family, had the first
home. The house where I live
and the corner of Lincoln and
Adams Court was built, the orig-
inal house was, by a Mr. Adams
in 1858. Originally it was just a
kitchen, a pantry and a couple
bedrooms.
Why did Exeter break away
from Exeter Township?
What we call Harding was
more populous than Exeter and
the civic meetings and the
schools and stuff were up on Rt.
92.
In 1884 they wanted to form
their own town, so people
wouldn’t have to travel up 92.
Talk about the Exeter Echo.
It was published every Satur-
day. I still have some copies at
home. Benny Anzelmi was the
owner, publisher and editor. He
had a printery where the ambu-
lance is now. Benny graduated
Exeter in say ’32 or so. He was
the burgess in the late ‘40s.
He had a lot of oomph. He
started it right before World War

because he perceives me as a
threat. Well, allow me to set the
record straight.
The relatives referred to in Mr/
Ms Doe’s letter are Mr. Aritz’s
daughters. Yes, we are distantly
related (3rd cousins) but who
isn’t around here? I have never
shared a meal or conversation
with them and I really never
knew anything about them prior
to reviewing the materials pre-
sented at the personnel meeting.
If Mr/Ms Doe is truly concerned
about jobs being awarded to rela-
tives, then s/he needs to address
the number of wives, brothers,
daughters, nephews and best
friends that this Board has hired
and the effect these hires have
had on our budget and the qual-
ity of our School District. I have
neither hired nor attempted to
hire any friend or relative into the
school district. I have heard and
read that I hired relatives, but the
detractors never state that the

more importantly, we will be

bers noting that I relied 100% on
the advice of our solicitor, Ray

can agree with one line in Mr/Ms

the athletic trainer, there was that based on the content of the wrongful termination law suit
some discussion about this topic
over a year ago and I asked the
Activities Chair, Dave Alberigi,
to provide documentation of the
terms of agreement and costs to
the District that these agencies
could offer us. Of course, no in-
formation was ever provided to
me and the Activities Chair nev-
er presented a viable, document-
ed alternative to the position of
athletic trainer. Given that I have
been effectively shunned by the
Board majority, I do not see how
Mr/Ms Doe conjectures this is
somehow my fault.
Concerning the wrongful ter-
mination lawsuit filed by Mr.
Simmons, yes I did vote with the
Board to terminate him. Howev-
er, the first I heard of this issue
was at my first Board meeting. I
am not at liberty to discuss the
details of this matter because all
of my information was gleaned
during a series of personnel

the public or discussion. With
that said, the matter is in litiga-

Grandmother appreciates Care and Concern clinic

My granddaughter has been a
patient at Care and Concern pe-
diatric clinic in Pittston since
birth. Anna is 10 months old
now.
She sits up by herself and
crawls.
I am sure she will be walking
soon. Her shots are up to date.
Her height and weight are on tar-
get for her age and she is reac-
hing all of her developmental
milestones on time.
Anna’s mom, my daughter, is a
single parent.
She is a college student who
will graduate from LCCC in
May and is applying to Miser-
icordia University to continue
her studies in Special Education.
I am committed to help my
daughter to raise and provide for
Anna.
When we began to look for pe-
diatric care for baby we were pre-
pared to deal with judgmental
people who treated us poorly in
less than optimal surroundings
due to lack of insurance and in-
ability to pay.
What we found instead was
Care and Concern. We found
toys that were clean and not bro-
ken, exam rooms that were
bright and cheerful, and most of
all, people that really care.
We truly feel that everyone at
Care and Concern has become a
part of Anna’s extended family.
They do not only provide med-
ical care.
The “care and concern” they
have for our little one and her
mommy are apparent in every-
thing they do. My daughter looks
forward to her appointments so
that she can share with everyone
how well baby is doing.
She receives so much encour-
agement there as a young mom.
Her parenting worries are vali-
dated and addressed.
Anna is an absolutely thriving,
happy, healthy little baby. She is
truly a blessing.
In preparation for Easter, I
have been reading the Gospel of
Mark and thinking about harden-
ed hearts.
There is so much hardness,
coldness in our world today. We
barely notice each other. We fol-
low our routines and traditions
but don’t really think about what
we are doing because life is so
busy and noisy.
There is so much pain and
heartache in the world; it’s easier
just to tune it out than feel it.
Sometimes we do the right
things but not for the right rea-
sons.
Sometimes we ignore the right
things and don’t do anything at
all. We stand clearly in the pres-
ence of the grace of God but
don’t pay attention.
I want you to know that find-
ing Care and Concern has
breathed new spiritual life into
me and given me strength to
keep working so hard to take
care of my family.
Thank you, Msgr. Bendik,
your parishes, and all of the fi-
nancial sponsors of Care and
Concern.
We are so very grateful for ev-
erything that your support does
for all the children and their fam-
ilies.
Words are not nearly enough
to say how thankful we are.
I am not able to financially
support Care and Concern but I
promise that I will continue to
keep this program, its patients,
and their families, staff, and sup-
porters in my prayers.
I respectfully ask for your
prayers and blessing upon my
family – that God may walk with
us on a path to less difficult
struggles and more peace in our
lives.
Baby Anna’s Grandmother

McLean, Rydzy lead Patriots to win

PA girls pick up first victory; WA sweeps Nanticoke
By Josh Horton
Dispatch Correspondent

Pittston Area continued to

dominate on the track with an
83-67 victory over Coughlin in
a Wyoming Valley Conference
Division I meet at Charley
Trippi Stadium on Tuesday in
Yatesville.
The Patriots won its fourth
straight meet to open the season
as Cody Rydzy won three
events to lead Pittston Area
(4-0) to the victory. Dave
McLean also had a solid show-
ing with two victories.
PA Head Coach Jason Mills
has talked all season about how
hard McLean has worked in the
offseason, and really believes
that hard work is paying off. It
would be hard to argue consid-
ering McLean was victorious in
the 1600m run with a time of
4:56. The second place finisher
was 10 seconds behind
McLean.
“Well, I was motivated by
great runners like Nate Zondlo
and Eric Fay who had great suc-
cess at Pittston Area in track,”
McLean said. “So I pushed my-
self by going the extra mile and
working hard during the offsea-
son.”
McLean also won the 3200m
run with a time of 10:49. He
beat his opponent by 36 sec-
onds. McLean was also part of
the first place 3200m relay
team. McLean ran the anchor
leg with Brian Gima, Brandon
Hampton and Shawn Simmons
to capture the victory with a
time of 8:48.
“Dave is so good because of
all the hard work he put in over
the offseason and in the pre-
season,” Mills said. “The hard
work is paying off and he is Top left, Pittston Area's Dave McLean takes first place in the 1600m run

Savokinas delivers for Pittston Area

Senior blasts three-run GW home run against Valley West
By Matt Petrini
Dispatch Correspondent
Josh Savokinas thrives on
pressure situations.
Among the league leaders in
homers in the Wyoming Valley
Conference, the senior ripped a
three-run, walk-off homer to
propel Pittston Area to a 7-5
come-from-behind win over
Wyoming Valley West at the
Bucky Harris Athletic Complex
in Hughestown on Monday af-
ternoon.
“Coach (John) Richards called
it. Guy on first and second with
me at the plate and the game will
be over. So I said, ‘We’ll see you
at the bottom of the pile,’” Savo-
kinas elaborated. “I love coming
up clutch in the game.”
Despite the victory, it wasn’t
the greatest performance PA
Coach Paul Zaffuto could have
hoped for.
In first inning, starter Jim Cas-
tellino ran into some early inning
woes. With two runners on,
Chris Clocker ripped a three-run
homer over the left field fence to
give Valley West an early 3-0 ad-
vantage.
But the lead didn’t last long as
the Patriot bats tacked on three
runs in the bottom half of the in-
ning.
Table setter Jordan Bone led
off with a line-drive single to left

and was moved over to second
after a sacrifice bunt. Savokinas
then drilled a 400-foot shot off
the center field wall chasing
Bone in from second. One batter
later, senior Ron Musto high-
lighted the inning with a two-run
home run over the left-center-
field fence.
While both teams were held
scoreless through the second in-
ning, Valley West mustered an-
pitcher Matt Zielen began to
cruise.
But RJ Emmett broke up the
drought with a solo home run in
the bottom of the sixth to tie the
game at 4-4.
Pittston Area reliever Kyle
Callahan entered the seventh
with confidence and momentum
on his side. However, he surren-
dered a lead-off walk and a sacri-
fice bunt which advanced the
runner to second. After another
walk, Joe Dosiak connected
again on a short RBI single to
right scoring Zielen for a 5-4
lead.
With their backs against the
wall, Zaffuto made a daring, last-
minute coaching move.
Freshman Josh Razvilla was
summoned off the bench for a
rare pinch-hit appearance. The
moved paid off dearly for the Pa-
triots as Razvilla came through
with a lead-off double to start the
inning. After a walk to Anthony
Schwab, the Patriots were in
business with two runners on,
and nobody out.

Ashby MVP.
The series began in 1998. The game is
named for former Major League pitcher
and Pittston resident, Andy Ashby, who
sponsors an MVP trophy.
Former Wyoming Area baseball coach
Ron Musto said the idea to attach an MVP
trophy to the PA-WA baseball game came
to him in the fall of 1997 as he watched the
Falcone Trophy MVP be presented at the
PA-WA football game.
When the idea for a baseball game
MVP trophy was floated, Ashby, then a
Ashby pitched in 16 Major League Sea-
sons for four different teams. His best sea-
son was 1998, the year he started the Ash-
by Trophy, when he was 17-9 with a 3.33
ERA with the Padres. He walked 58 and
struck out 157 in 226 innings. He started
two games in the National League Cham-
pionship Series and pitched well, allow-
ing just three runs in 13 innings, through
he did not get decisions in either game. He
was the starter and loser in one game
against the New York Yankees in the
World Series that season.

Scalzo hat trick leads WA past MMI

Pittston Area wins two versus Hanover, MMI
By Matt Page
Dispatch Correspondent

The Wyoming Area girls’ soccer team

took the field Thursday with hopes of a
big win to get the team rolling as they
battle to get to the top spot in the divi-
sion. The Lady Warriors took advantage
of the opportunity given as Katie Scalzo
recorded a hat trick in a 6-0 win over
MMI Prep at the Tenth Street Elemen-
tary Soccer Field in Wyoming.
"A win is a win in our division," said
coach Mike Pryor. "We’re at a point in
our season where we can go forward or
stay the same, and finishing off six
goals is finishing six goals and we are
pleased with it."
Kourtny Schwerdtman opened the
scoring 12 minutes into the game when
she was able to beat the defense to the
through-ball played by Jenn Bone.
Schwerdtman then used her speed to
sprint away from the defenders and fin-
ish the ball into the back of the net past
the diving keeper.
The Lady Warriors never looked
back.
Less than five minutes after
Schwerdtman’s goal, Scalzo put her
name in the book as she notched her

PA PHOTOS BY BILL TARUTIS with the keeper, the WA senior blasted a
shot into the left corner of the net to give
Wyoming Area (2-2-1) a 2-0 lead.
Then, at the 16:32 mark Scalzo re-
corded her second goal on a play that
was a near spitting image of her first.
She took a loose ball, sprinted away
from the attempts of the defenders and
hit a shot into the left side of the net.
With less than a minute left in the first
half, the ball was bouncing around in
front of the MMI goal and numerous
Lady Warriors made an attempt to put
the ball into the goal. However, the ball
then found its way to the foot of Saman-
tha Acacio who poked it through the
scrum and into the goal, giving WA a
4-0 lead at the half.
After a dominant first half in which
Wyoming Area out-shot MMI, 19-2, the
second half started like the first ended.
Scalzo finished off her hat trick less
than three minutes into the half when
she scored on a play similar to her first
two goals. She found herself with the
ball and was able to run past and then
away from the defense. This time, how-

Lady Patriots win JT Phillies opens season with

first in two years wins over Red Sox, VFW
Taylor Baloga set the tone last
Friday when the Pittston Area
pitcher struck out the first batter
of the Lady Patriots junior high
softball game with Wyoming
Valley West.
Baloga would allow just five
earned runs on the afternoon as
Pittston Area won its first game
in over two years, 12-10, over the
Lady Spartans. The Lady Patri-
ots did not play a complete, 7-in-
ning game a season ago.
According to Coach Stephanie
Griffin, the victory was long
overdue.
“We came out ready to play to-
day. They were aggressive, and
they wanted to win it,” said Grif-
fin.
The Lady Patriots scored two
quick runs on a Megan Karuzie
home run, and added another on
an RBI double from Lauren
Dragon. PA then broke the game
open with RBIs from Allie Bar-
ber, Baloga and Karuzie.
Valley West rallied to take the
lead, 10-9, in the fourth inning,
but the Lady Patriots would not
be denied.
Pittston Area scored three runs
in the sixth as Julie Lieback,
Theresa Domarasky, Mindina
Lieback, Dragon and Baloga all
game up with RBI hits. Doma-
rasky’s two-run single put the
Lady Patriots ahead for good.
Adison Hazlet and Amanda
Radginski also added two hits
each to the PA attack.
“The girls played well,” said
Coach Amy Hazlet. “When they
got down, they rallied back to
win. Their effort was outstand-
ing.”
Patriots faced off against Ber-
wick on Monday, but lost 8-3.
Baloga picked up five more
strikeouts, and Allie Barber,
Amanda Radginski, and Mindi-
na Lieback scored the Patriots
three runs on RBIs by Megan
Karuzie and Theresa Domaras-
ky.
To round off the week the La-
dy Patriots picked up their sec-
ond win of the season besting
Crestwood in a 3-inning shutout.
Lauren Dragon went 3-for- 3
with a double, and Taylor Baloga
added a triple to the PA’s 13 hits
on the day.

Area's Katie Scalzo (10) is about to boot a corner kick on a sun-kissed day at the Tenth Street Elementary Soccer Field in Wyoming on Thursday.
ever, Scalzo showed her versa-
tility by rifling a shot with her
left foot that beat the keeper.
Wyoming Area pushed the
lead to 6-0 less than 10 minutes
into the second half on a beau-
tiful showing by Acacio. She
displayed her great skill set by
dribbling around most of the
MMI players before coming
one-on-one with the keeper.
Acacio decided to share the
glory by laying the ball off to
Bone, who stood in front of the
goal with no one near her, and
she tapped the ball into the
wide-open goal.
Around the 25 minute mark,
Pryor subbed out his entire
starting lineup.
While the subs were unable
to find the back of the net they
played aggressive, and were
able to control most of the pos-
session, develop scoring
chances and keep the opposi-
tion from getting on the board.
Of course a shutout usually
requires one or two good saves
from the keeper.
So with approximately eight
minutes left, the ball was roll-
ing around inside WA’s six-
yard box. With a lot of commo-
tion in front of her, Caitlin Vi-
tale was able to see an MMI
player poke the ball through
the defenders. Vitale dove left
to make the save and preserve
the shutout.
"I think today we improved
upon certain things we wanted
to improve upon," said Pryor.
"Every time we come out we
try to be a better team than last
time and I think we did a good
job of that."
WA held the advantage in
shots 29-7, while 15 of those 29
shots were on goal.
Vitale made six saves in the
shutout victory.
PA 3, Hanover 2
Pittston Area and Sara Ruby
continued their hot streak as
the Lady Patriots pulled out a
3-2 win over Hanover on
Wednesday afternoon at the
Bucky Harris Athletic Com-
plex in Hughestown. Ruby
scored a hat-trick, and Pittston
Area won its third match in
four tries in the Wyoming Val-
ley Conference Division 2-A
Soccer race.
Ruby got the Lady Patriots
off to a fast start, scoring off of
a Tianna Stull assists just 4:09
into the game. She then scored
six minutes later on a feed from
Jenny Meck to give PA a 2-0
lead just 10:02 into the match.
Hanover answered with two
goals before halftime to knot
the score at 2-2, but Ruby and
the Lady Patriots would not be
denied.
Danielle Fereck set Ruby up
with less than 10 minutes re-
maining in regulation, and the
freshman blasted the ball into
the net for the game-winning
goal.
Jordan Cumbo stopped eight
shots in goal for Pittston Area
(3-2-1) as the Lady Patriots
outshot Hanover, 20-10.

Freshman Sara Ruby got
things off to a fast start for the
Lady Patriots, scoring just 17
seconds into the match on an
assist from Kaylene Sutkowski
to give PA a 1-0 lead.
Sutkowski then scored the
first of her two unassisted

scored within a minute to give
Pittston Area (2-2-1) a 6-0 half-
time advantage.
Vaxmonsky added her sec-
ond goal on an assist from Ru-
by to open the second half, and
Sutkowski scored five minutes
later for the 8-0 lead.
Daniele Fereck added a goal
on an assist from Mikitish at
the 61:15 mark of the second
half, and Mikitish scored for
the hat trick at the 74:28 mark.
The Lady Patriots outshot
the Lady Preppers, 34-5, on the

 Turkeys, trout and the State Park
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 24, 2011

Happy Easter everyone! found on the head, neck, and

Isn’t it is hard to believe that
Easter is here already? It
seems like we were just wish-
ing each other happy New
Years. The months of 2011
are certainly flying by. For
example, we are in our sec-
ond month of spring already
and May is just one week
away. The key is not to be
caught flipping the pages of
the calendar without living
each day of the month to its
fullest. While April showers
are certainly bringing the
May flowers, it is also bring-
ing many outdoor opportuni-
ties. Trout fishing and turkey
hunting are two good exam-
ples.
The trout season opened
last weekend and many an-
glers were chased off the
lakes and streams because of
the heavy rains and winds.
That means there is plenty of
fish still swimming around
for local anglers. In addition
to the trout stocked before
the season, the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission
are already restocking lakes
and streams in what they call
their “In-Season Stocking
Program.” The Lake at Franc-
es Slocum State Park was res-
tocked this past Monday and
what an event it was. Hun-
dreds of people lined the
shore awaiting the arrival of
the stocking truck. Perhaps
the most inspiring thing was
the number of children with
parents and grandparents.
These afternoons spent to-
gether will be forever looked
back at as good wholesome
family memories.
The trout were a little fin-
icky are first but within an
hour they settled down and
started to bite. I did a quick
survey of the anglers landing
OUTDOORS WITH JAKE
trout. They claim that bright
power bait fished on the bot-
tom is the most successful
way to land the trout stocked
at Frances Slocum. I did meet
up with a few fishermen us-
ing minnows quite success-
fully as well. The key to
catching fish is to get out and
fish. The rest of it should
happen naturally. The Fish
Commission stocked more
than three thousand trout on
Monday and they are sched-
uled to restock it again in
May. For the most up to date
schedule of in-season stock-
ing, visit the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission
home page at http://
www.fish.state.pa.us.
Young turkey hunters had
their chance yesterday to
shoot a Pennsylvania Gob-
bler. The one day hunt for
kids is designed to get our
youth interested in hunting
and in this case, turkey hunt-
ing. The official opening of
the turkey season starts next
Saturday, April 30, one half
hour before sunrise. Youths
under the age of 12 years may
participate in this spring gob-
bler season through the Game
Commission’s Mentored
by Don Jacobs
Youth Hunting Program.
They can hunt with a mentor
during the general spring
gobbler season. Mentored
youths need to obtain a per-
mit for $2.70, and must be
accompanied by an adult
mentor who is a properly li-
censed and at least 21 years
of age. A field harvest tag is
provided with the mentored
youth hunting program per-
mit. Mentored youths also
are required to report their
harvest to the Game Com-
mission either online or by
using one of the report card
inserts that are part of the Di-
gest.
The outlook for the turkey
season is excellent. I have
seen quite a few turkeys on
my travels and my scouting
trips at daybreak have been
very productive. The key is to
get out this week and make
sure the birds are where you
think they are. Scouting is al-
ways the key to a successful
hunt. More important than a
successful hunt is a safe and
enjoyable one. Here are a few
tips to follow to help make
your outing a safe adventure.
Positively identify your tar-
get. Be absolutely certain
that the turkey you are about
to shoot is a legal (bearded)
turkey before you pull the
trigger. The bird should be
fully and clearly visible. Be
sure to look beyond the path
of your shot to make sure it is
safe to pull the trigger.
Never stalk a turkey or tur-
key sounds. Take up a calling
location and let the bird come
to you. Movement or sounds
you think are a turkey may be
another hunter. Sneaking in
on another hunter is not only
unsafe, it’s illegal. Spring
turkey hunting is by calling
only.
Assume every noise and
movement is another hunter,
not a turkey.
Protect your back! Select a
large tree, rock, or other sub-
stantial natural barrier while
calling. Sit with your back
against this object. Hunt in
open woods so you can easily
see approaching hunters.
Shout “STOP!” to alert ap-
proaching hunters. Never
move, wave, or make turkey
sounds to alert hunters of
your position.
Eliminate red, white, blue,
and black colors from your
clothing. These colors are
body of mature gobblers.
Pre-select a zone of fire.
Shoot at a turkey only in that
predetermined zone and only
when you’re certain it is safe
to do so. Agree upon these
zones with your hunting
companions before the hunt.
Choose safe and responsib-
le hunting companions.
Know where they are at all
times.
Wear hunter orange when
entering or leaving your tur-
key hunting area. Fluorescent
orange is not requited in the
spring but it is a smart thing
to wear while moving about.
Remember to practice
these safety tips, be courte-
ous and patient. No turkey is
worth risking a human life
for. Good luck if you are
heading in search of a gob-
bling turkey.
Still Time for Two
It is not too late to get a
second turkey tag. Pennsyl-
vania hunters who would like
the opportunity to harvest a
second spring gobbler can
purchase a second spring
gobbler tag until Saturday,
April 30. Thanks to the new
Pennsylvania Automated Li-
cense System (PALS), hun-
ters can purchase a second
spring gobbler tag at any is-
suing agent and walk out of
the store with it. A second tag
could be purchased online
but it could take up to ten
days to get in the mail. The
cost of the second turkey tag
is $21.70 for residents and
$41.70 for nonresidents.
Be sure to watch Pennsyl-
vania Outdoor Life tonight at
6:30 on WNEP-TV. We have
dedicated most of the pro-
gram to turkey hunting and
turkey call making.

Tenth Street students hold bracelet fundraiser to aid Japan

Four sixth grade girls in Mrs.

people affected by the earth-
quakes in Japan. With the ap-
proval of the district’s superin-
tendent, they held a fundraiser.
The girls created and sold duct
tape bracelets that read “Hope

The bracelets were sold in

each. They raised $284.00 over a
one-week period. Elementary
Principal, Mr. Jon Pollard, will
send the money to Japan via the
Red Cross. Pictured in the photo
are the girls from left to right:
Alexandria Peck, Eve Urban, El-

Pittston Area H.S.’s Stand Tall Club holds annual blood drive

by Kathleen Prest
On Monday, March 28 the
Pittston Area Stand Tall Club
held their annual blood drive. It
lasted the entire day, and had a
great turnout. One student, Ma-
rissa Gerrity, donated for her ve-
ry first time. She said she decid-
ed to come out and donate be-
cause her grandfather has been
through many surgeries, and she
never knows when he is going to
need blood. A returning donor,
Matthew Erfman, says he likes to
donate because its nice knowing
you are helping someone in
need.
It seemed unanimous that the
Red Cross staff members were
happy to see so many high
school students coming out to
help. Overall 100 pints of blood
were donated. The club moder-
ator as well as the Pittston Area
High School nurse, Mrs. Betty
Turco said “I believe the blood
drive was very successful in light
of the circumstances, as far as
the rescheduling of the event and
also it being held on a Monday.”

Misericordia recognizes students who completed certificate program

Misericordia University rec-
ognized the seventh graduating
class from the Diagnostic Med-
ical Sonography Certificate Pro-
gram during the annual certifi-
cate presentation ceremony in
Sandy and Marlene Insalaco
Hall on campus.
Ten students completed the
challenging 18-month program,
which includes classroom and
clinical instruction. The sonog-
raphy program, more commonly
referred to as ultrasound, is de-
signed for adult or non-tradition-
al learners who posses the neces-
sary pre-requisites. The program
offers a convenient and predict-
able schedule with alternating
weekend classes and a weekday
clinical component. Classes be-
gin every September.
The Misericordia University
Sonography Program is accred-
ited by the Commission on Ac-
creditation of Allied Health Edu-
cation Programs. Sonographers
perform a diagnostic medical
procedure that uses ultrasound to
produce dynamic visual images
of human organs, tissues or
blood flow inside the body. It is
increasingly being used to detect
and treat fetal anomalies as well
as non-surgical interventions of
abdominal and gynecological
pathologies.
For more information about
the diagnostic medical sonogra-
phy certificate program, please

director, at (570) 674-6790 or
