The stories on pages 3 and 4
today are connected in a way
that perhaps only I have detect-
ed so I feel compelled to share
it.
The page 3 story is about a
guy who has taken it upon
himself to plant flowers around
the trees all along Main Street
in Pittston. I was tempted to
call him a born-again Flower
Child in the headline but,
although this guy is a product
of the 60s, thats hardly the
term for him, then or now.
While others of his generation
might have been getting a little
crazy in those days, he re-
mained a straight arrow, a good
boy who grew into a mans
man.
I know, because Jim Norris
was my high school classmate
for our senior year, anyway.
It was 1966, the very first
year of the new Pittston Area
school district. Former rivals
Northeast High and Pittston
High were merged into one
school. And it was just a few
years after former rivals Du-
ryea, Dupont, Avoca, Hugh-
estown and Jenkins Township
had been merged into North-
east.
What magic was it going to
take to get all these schools to
gel into one?
The answer came soon
enough: sports.
The new schools football
team wearing Red, White and
Blue and playing under the
name Patriots took on the
rival of all rivals, perennial
powerhouse Old Forge, in its
opening contest, and won.
Absolutely no one saw that
coming.
I was sitting in a classroom in
the old Pittston High building
the next Monday morning when
a booming voice came over the
schools inter-com system. It
was that of Thomas R. Kelly,
our new principal whom none
of us had met. He told us who
he was and how proud he was
of our football team. With that,
he commanded: Im going to
count to three and when I do I
want to hear a roar that will lift
the roof off this building. At
three the roar he asked for went
up and in that moment, I truly
believe, the Pittston Area
School District was born.
Sports can do that.
The quarterback of that first
Patriot football team who, by
the way, scored the winning
touchdown was the same guy
planting flowers on Main Street
these 44 years later, Jim Norris.
That he is wearing a Yankees
cap in the photo on page 3 is
just an added touch to how the
game he starred in all those
years ago ties in to the story on
page 4.
The page 4 story is about a
simple bus trip by a local parish
to a Major League baseball
game the kind of thing parish-
es do all the time only it turn-
ed out there was nothing simple
about it.
First of all, much like the
Pittston Area School District in
1966, the parish is brand new.
In the sixties around here they
were merging schools, today
they are merging churches. And
that task is even more daunting.
The parish in this story is
Our Lady of the Eucharist,
formed by combining St. Ma-
rys Assumption, St. Mary Help
of Christians and Blessed Sac-
rament something no one was
happy about.
The former Blessed Sacra-
ment Church has already been
sold and is being converted into
apartments. The former St.
Marys Assumption is available,
its adjacent elementary school
having been closed this past
June. The wounds to their re-
spective parishioners are still
fresh.
Mark Casper, a former and
devoted parishioner of the As-
sumption, thought a trip to a
ballgame might help bring the
new parishioners together. Be-
cause, hey, sports can do that.
Little did he know.
The trip, planned months
ago, was to the New York Yan-
kees vs. Tampa Bay Rays game
on July 9 at Yankee Stadium.
You guessed it: they were there
last Saturday to witness Derek
Jeters 3000th hit, a home run,
his 5 for 5 performance, and
take part in baseball history.
And, oh yes, take a giant step
toward becoming a unified
parish.
At Mass the next morning
they were a little more one than
they had been the Sunday be-
fore.
Yesterday morning while
getting dressed to head to the
Dispatch office for a day of
deadline meeting, I flipped on
the TV to catch a bit of the
British Open. I tuned in just in
time to see Tom Watson, play-
ing in rainy, miserable weather,
roll in a difficult put for a par.
The announcer said in the first
eight holes in round three he
had made seven pars and a
birdie.
On Friday, I had seen him
score a hole-in-one.
Tom Watson, a former British
Open champion, is 61 years old.
So am I.
And sos Jim Norris.
Dont know about Jim, but
watching Tom Watsons magic
on the golf course in England
this weekend has put an extra
bounce in my step. He has me
inspired.
Sports can do that too.

ittston may not be a boom-
town, but thanks to Jim
Norris and the downtown
merchants, its a bloom town.
Pro bono downtown manager
Rose Randazzo said one day she
arrived at her office to find that
overnight someone had planted
flowers under the trees in front of
her office.
That someone was JimNorris.
Norris has since planted flow-
ers in the tree beds along Main
Street from William Street to
Charles Street where phase one
of the Streetscape project is
complete. The first planting of
marigolds were donated by
Ciampis Greenhouse in Exeter.
Randazzo said she likes the
idea and she and Norris, who has
taken on the role of downtown
assistant, came up with a down-
town adopt-a-tree program.
Since then 12 downtown busi-
nesses and the YMCA have
agreed to participate.
Norris said the adopt-a-tree
merchants are asked to generally
maintain the tree beds and flower
plots, the most important job be-
ing to water the flower plots.
In addition to the YMCA the
merchants in the adopt-a-tree
program are First Liberty Bank,
Majestic Lunch, M & T Bank,
Landmark Bank, Joyce Insur-
ance, Finos Pharmacy, Bella
Mia Hair Salon, Yore Antiques,
Philadelphia Hair, Sam-Car,
Seitzinger and Randazzo, and
Jacketts Lunch.
Randazzo said getting mer-
chants involved helps the city
look better and save money. The
program will be extended the
rest of the way down Main Street
to Market Street once phase two
of the Streetscape is completed
on that stretch.
With the sewer project com-
pleted across Main Street some
preliminary work on Streetscape
phase two is underway. Over the
past few days the sewer con-
struction has progressed across
the Pittston Tomato Festival lot
to the area around the firehouse
at the edge of the lot.
In other downtown news, the
city had hoped to have the for-
mer Waynes World building de-
molished by now. Redevelop-
ment Authority Director Jerry
Mullarky said the delay hap-
pened because once it was deter-
mined the building could not be
rehabilitated, the job of demoli-
tion had to be re-bid.
The bids were opened at the
authority meeting on July 7. The
winning bidder is Stell Enter-
prises with a bid of $17,152.
The project is conditional
pending formal approval of a
modification to the citys 2010
CommunityDevelopment Block
Grant. Mullarky said, based on
previous conversations with the
state, the city is optimistic the
modification will be approved
soon.
In the meantime, the city
asked Stell to get to get bonds
and insurances in order so that
once the grant modification is
approvedStell canstart the work.
Mullarky said the city is confi-
dant the building will be demol-
ished before the Tomato Festival
August 18-21.

I
f the hiring of Pittston Area
school director Bob Lin-
skeys daughter as a Pittston
Area summer school English
teacher sounds like nepotism,
Linskey, by his own admission,
said its even worse than it
sounds as it happened while he
was helping other board mem-
bers write a strict, no-nonsense,
anti-nepotism policy.
The policy, which is still being
revised and will be voted on at
the next meeting, will spell out in
no uncertain terms that relatives
of board members and manage-
ment employees, without excep-
tion, will not be eligible for em-
ployment. The policy will also
define relatives to include not
only immediate family, but also
nieces, nephews, in-laws and
other relatives. Linskey said
there is some interest in adding a
anti-promotion clause to the pol-
icy for employees who were
hired before their relatives got on
the board, but its not clear if that
is legal.
In any case, why, given his
commitment to crafting an anti-
nepotism policy, did Linskey
helphis daughter get the summer
job? That question was posed by
an editorial in last Sundays Dis-
patch and on Wednesday Lin-
skey came to the office to offer
an explanation and an apology of
sorts.
The board members receive
packets at home, Linskey said.
In our packets several weeks
ago were postings for summer
school positions. We didnt
know at the time how many we

Back in May given four dates
from which to pick one for a bus
trip to a baseball game Father
Tom Maloney of Our Lady of
Eucharist Church picked Yankee
Stadium, Saturday, July 7, never
dreaming he had picked a mo-
mentous day in Stadium history
the day Derek Jeter would get
his 3,000th hit.
Want to hear something even
more miraculous? Father Tom,
as he calls himself, converted
froma Red Sox to a Yankees fan.
Granted Fathers conversion was
decades ago, but going Red Sox
to Yankees is still almost as rare
as getting 3,000 hits.
Jeter is only the 28th players to
do so out of an estimated 17,000
who have played in the Major
Leagues.
Father Tom, 71, grew up in
Avoca. When he was a kid his fa-
ther took himto see the Scranton
Red Sox, a Boston farm team,
and he latched on to the Red Sox.
Scranton lost its minor league
franchise after the 1953 season
and, intime, the youngTomMal-
oney became a Yankees fan.
He has a cool remnant of his
Red Sox days, a ball signed by a
Boston Red Sox team, including
Ted Williams, from the 1950s.
His father got it for him and he
kept it in good condition all these
years.
Picking the date of July 7 was
part one of the convergence of
incidents which put Father Tom,
36 of his parishioners and other
local baseball fans in the Stadi-
um for Jeters 3,000th hit.
Part two: On Thursday Jeter
got his 2,998th hit. With two outs
in the ninth he was on deck when
the batter struck out. That should
have ended the game, but the
catcher dropped the ball and the
batter reached giving Jeter an-
other at bat.
Father Tom was watching on
TV. Figuring that if Jeter got a hit
then, he would only need one on
Friday to reached 3,000, Father
Tom rooted against him. Oh,
please no, I said, dont get a hit
now.
Part Three: He didnt get a hit,
but still he went into Friday only
needing two. Fridays game was
rained out, setting the stage for
Saturday.
I was happy Friday was rain-
ed out, Father Tomsaid. Satur-
day was a great day, couldnt
have been better. The applause,
shouting, yelling for five min-
utes was unbelievable.
Parishioner Mark Casper
came up with the baseball bus
trip idea. I teased Father that di-
vine interventionmade it rainthe
Friday before, just so we could
see the big hit. It was also Fa-
thers first time in the new stadi-
um. Casper said.
The trip was the first social
venture for the new Our Lady of
Eucharist Parish created by the
consolidation of St. Marys As-
sumption, St. Mary Help of
Christian, and Blessed Sacra-
ment churches.
Father and I agreed it might
be a good way to get some mo-
mentum going for the new par-
ish, Casper said.
To a degree the idea worked as
parishioners fromall three of the
former parishes were among the
37 people who made the trip. On
the other hand, Casper was sur-
prisedthe bus didnt sell out toits
capacity of 50. Somehow, the
trip didnt sell out, Casper said.
I got a lot of calls on Sunday
from folks that wished they had
come on the trip.
Casper said on the way to meet
the bus that morning his son
Drew came up with a creative
math formula to predict Jeter
would get the hit. He looked at
the commemorative T-shirt ev-
erybody on the trip got and on
the sleeve it says Yankees vs.
Rays 7-9-11 and said, Dad, 9-11
was part on New York history,
then add the numbers up and it
totals 27 which is the same num-
ber of championships the Yan-
kees have, and take 9 from11and
7 from 9 and you get 2, Jeters
number. Hes getting 3000 to-
day.
Of the 28 players who have
3,000 hits Jeter is only the sec-
ond one to reach 3,000 with a
home run.
Wade Boggs was the other. Je-
ter is the only Yankee with 3,000
hits and the only active player
with 3,000 hits.
The last player before Jeter to
get 3,000 was Craig Biggio in
2007.
Holy Eucharist!
Thats his 3000th!

Grass Roots singer Rob Grill,
who died in Orlando, Florida, on
Monday from complications
from a fall, was well known in
the local area. Grill was the sing-
er behind The Grass Roots
1960s and 70s super hit pop
songs such as Lets Live for To-
day, Midnight Confessions, Wait
a Million Years, Temptation
Eyes and Two Divided by Love.
The Southern California native
was 67.
The Grass Roots sold more
than 20 million records and had
at least one songonthe Billboard
Hot 100for 307weeks from1967
to 1972. Most of the hits were
written by Steve Barri and P.F.
Sloan of Dunhill Records in Los
Angeles.
The band wore well. Ten years
after their reign as hit makers
on July 4, 1982 in Washington,
DC The Grass Roots drew
600,000 fans to an outdoor con-
cert considered the all-time U.S.
attendance record for one act.
Joe Middleton who worked
in the local music business as a
writer, DJ, Gallery of Sound
manager and promoter knew
Grill well. Middleton was a writ-
er for the Pittston Sentinel when
he met Grill in the spring of 69
at a show at then-Keystone Ju-
nior College.
When Joe Nardone of Gallery
of Sound promoted Grass Roots
shows locally Middleton was the
bands pre and post concert local
minder. Once in the mid-70s af-
ter a gig at Nanticoke High
School, Middleton took Grill
andthe bandtoSabatinis inExe-
ter for pizza and around to visit
local DJs. After a Muscular Dys-
trophy benefit gig at a theater in
Williamsport, Middleton played
softball with Grill at Bowman
Field.
Middleton also connected
with Grill at gigs at the Station in
Wilkes-Barre and a Great Amer-
ican Car Race stop in Scranton
and the Hi-Lite Lounge in King-
ston. Grill left the band for a time
after its heyday, but rejoined the
Grass Roots in the mid-80s to
2006.
He was crazy, Middleton re-
called. A fun loving guy. We
had good times. My wife liked
him. He was always good to her.
Grill and the band appeared at
the Northeast Fair in Suscon on
Saturday, June 28, in 2003. They
also played the fair when it was
on Bryden Street and was known
as the Pittston Township Fire-
mens Baazar.
Joe Pupa of the Northeast Fair
said the fair set a record for one-
night attendance that Saturday
night in 2003 when The Grass
Roots played.
He was just a really nice guy,
Pupa said. Easy to talk to. Easy
to work with. Unpretentious. He
didnt have an attitude. In 2003
he still had it. He was a good per-
former. He was the face and the
voice of The Grass Roots.
Though Grill had health prob-
lems including strokes, six hip-
replacement surgeries and a de-
generative bone disorder called
avascular necrosis he contin-
ued to appear with The Grass
Roots into 2010. Middleton said
the last time he talked to Grill
was in March of 2010 when The
Grass Roots played at the Kirby
Center in Wilkes-Barre.
Middleton said Grills widow
Nancy is a Carbon County na-
tive.
And heres one more local
connection: Creed Bratton, the
original lead guitarist, is on the
cast of the TV show The Office
set in Scranton.
The Grass Roots still tour
without Grill. Tonight they are at
the Sovereign Center in Reading
on the Happy Together Tour with
the Turtles, the Buckinghams,
the Association and Mark Lind-
say of Paul Revere and the Raid-
ers.

were going to need, because we
didnt know how many were go-
ing to be in the program. PAonly
does Math and English. The
posting had only two or three re-
sumes attachedtoit andeachone
of the applicants was from Du-
pont.
I thought to myself, and I
could be way off base, that may-
be somebody from the school
called possibly, Bruce Knick,
(Knick is a board member from
Dupont) and said do you know
anybody from Dupont who
could use these courses?
So, stupidly, I said to myself I
wonder if my daughter could
teach English. I thought its only
for a nine-day program, a tempo-
rary position, so whats the big
deal? So I called George Cos-
grove (Pittston Area superin-
tendent) and he said we need En-
glish teachers. So I told my
daughter. She was a little reluc-
tant but she filled out her paper
work.
On Class Night the Wednes-
day before graduation Jack Lussi
(District Principal) said tell your
daughter to get all her stuff in we
really need an English teacher.
So I told her to do it and she did.
Its my fault and I take responsib-
ility.
Linskey agreed that his daugh-
ter getting a summer job might
be seen by some as a stepping
stone to a full-time position, but
he insists that is not going to hap-
pen.
In hindsight it wasnt a very
good idea because of the uproar
it caused. I thought it was no big
deal because it was only nine
days and I have no intention ever
of her being a full-time employ-
ee at Pittston Area, Linskey
said.
Linskey said he believes only
one of the applicants, who was
not an English teacher, did not
get a summer job and Linskey
admits that the small amount of
applicants was part of the prob-
lem. He said the school should
have advertised the positions
publicly, instead of keeping the
postings in house.
Linskey also took issue with a
letter to the editor in last weeks
paper fromJoe Valenti. Inhis let-
ter Valenti wrote there were 30
applicants listed on the agenda.
Linskey said those applicants
were for full time, not summer,
positions.
Linskey is adamant that he is
serious about pushing for an an-
ti-nepotismpolicy. He said when
his daughter switched her major
toeducationhalfwaythroughher
college career, he told her then
he was not going to help her get a
job. He said that caused some ar-
guments at home.
To further diminish the sub-
jectivity and influence in the hir-
ing process at PA, Linskey is
pushing for a system which
would rate applicants by a points
system. For example, points
would be awarded academic re-
cord, Praxis score, experience
and other factors. The top three
candidates based on points
would then be asked to present a
demonstration lesson in a class-
room setting in front of the Pro-
fessional Selection Committee
which would consist of the su-
perintendent, appropriate build-
ing principal, appropriate de-
partment chair and one board
member, rotating every two
months.
Linskey said in his opinion the
contracting of professional ser-
vices, such as insurance and en-
gineering, without asking for
bids or RFPs (requests for pro-
posal) as they are called is as
unfair as influence hiring.
Why should a firm get the
contract just because somebody
on the board knows someone at
that firm, Linskey said.
While RFPs for professional
service are not required by law,
Linskey said they are a good
idea. He said when he first ap-
proached the board about re-
questing RFPs, it was voted
down. Eventually the board
agreed by a 9-0 vote. Since then
the board as saved more than
$70,000 on professional service
contracts by requesting RFPs,
Linskey said.

9-year-old first in Talent Olympics in Poconos
As one of only12dogs inthe countryat the
time who could detect dangerous substanc-
es, Lacey was summoned to duty in New
York City on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
She also had a unique talent for detecting
the slightest vibrations and that talent saved
the lives of several firefighters that day, ac-
cording to her owner and handler Bill Luka-
sik Jr. Lacey was accompanying rescue
workers in building 7 at Ground Zero when
she reacted to what she sensed a dangerous
situation. The humans listened to her and got
out of the building just before it came down,
Lukasik said.
Lacey and Lukasik, son of Bill Lukasik of
Dupont and a member of the Dupont Volun-
teer Hose Companyat the time, spent 11days
at Ground Zero. The dog was used mostly to
detect vibrations.
Lacey, a German Shepherd/Labrador mix
who was four years old at the time, had at-
tended 18 months of schooling and had her
own fire badge.
Lukasik acquired her when she was a pup.
Lacey, shown here wearing her badge,
died last week. She was 14 years old.
Heroic dog passes away

Jack Smiles didnt set
out to write a trilogy of
breaker boy-to-Baseball Hall of
Fame books, but with the release
last week of his biography of
Hughestowns Bucky Harris, he
has accomplished just that.
The book
Bucky Harris, a
Biography of
Baseballs Boy
Wonder is pub-
lished by McFar-
land & Company.
Smiles took more
than two years
writing and re-
searching the
book, which is 320
pages and contains
33 photos, appen-
dix, notes, bibliog-
raphy, and index.
OnWednesday, July27, begin-
ning at 6:30 p.m. the Hughes-
town Hose Company and Smiles
are hosting a book release party,
discussion and signing in the
Hose Company banquet room.
The Hose Company agreed to
host the event as Bucky was a
member and played for the com-
panys basketball team. The
book contains a photo of Bucky
with the 1910 Hose Company
basketball team.
While Harris is not technically
a local native he was born in Port
Jervis, New Jersey, in 1896 his
father moved the family here
when Bucky was three and
Buckys early life was all about
the Center Street-Rock Street ar-
ea of Hughestown. He grew up
on Rock Street, hung out at Pete
Smaltzs Cigar Store on Center
Street, worked at the no. 9 shaft,
and played baseball for the St.
Peters Lutheran Church Sunday
School team.
He played with Hamtown and
the Pittston Brothers on a field
near the site of the Yaple Park
field which is outside of the hose
companys backdoor. He also
played near the site of the Pitt-
ston Area High School field
which is named for him. And in
the end he came back to Hugh-
estown. He is buriedinSt. Peters
Cemetery.
In the 1920 census Bucky was
counted in Hughestown on Rock
Street and listed as a weighmas-
ter in a colliery.
Just four years later, at the age
of 27, Bucky aka The Boy
Wonder as the manager and
second baseman of the Washing-
ton Senators led the team to its
only World Series championship
in an upset so stunning it was the
inspiration for the Broadway
play Damn Yankees.
The book chronicles Buckys
transformation from an obscure
breaker boy with dirt under his
nails to the toast of our nations
capital where the president of the
United States was a guest at his
wedding and includes his stint as
a professional basketball player,
his early days as a
baseball player,
his 1947 world
championship as
manager of the
Yankees, and his
role in the racial
integration of
both the Senators
and the Boston
Red Sox.

Nepotism has been in the news a lot
lately. In Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leightons daughters were hired by the
city for summer jobs, then resigned after
an uproar. In West Pittston the borough
council is considering adopting an anti-
nepotism policy.
At Wyoming Area the children, a broth-
er and cousins of school directors Sam
Aritz, Dave Alberigi and Toni Valenti
were hired for teaching and other posi-
tions.
At Pittston Area school director Bob
Linskey helped his daughter get a tempo-
rary nine-day summer teaching position,
while he was helping write an anti-nepo-
tism policy. To his credit Linskey admit-
ted he was wrong. See page 3.
We suspect the attention to nepotism is
high nowbecause it is seen as a subplot to
the corruption scandals which have been
uncovered in local politics lately.
Nepotismis not illegal. It is not corrup-
tion. But as weve said before, we believe
there can be a slippery slope from nepo-
tism to outright corruption.
But our main objection to nepotism is
not who gets the job, its who doesnt.
When an applicant who is related to a di-
rector or other office holder gets a job
through influence that means someone
who may have been just as qualified but
didnt have the right relatives did not get
the job.
How is that fair?
We hope the Pittston Area school dis-
trict and West Pittston borough do adopt
anti-nepotismpolicies. We especially like
the clause in the draft of the PA policy
which does not allow for exceptions. A
policy which purports to be anti-nepo-
tism, but allows an exception if the rela-
tive is the best qualified is useless.
But it is worth noting that as school di-
rectors andcouncil members come andgo
so can policies.
And the notion of a policy in the first
place may not have as much teeth as we
might assume. Is a policy a matter of
binding law or is it just a guideline?
In other words lets say a school board
adopts such a policy and one of the direc-
tors who did not vote for it says the heck
with it, votes for a relative and gets four
other members to defy the policy and vote
for the relative.
What then? Can the solicitor stop the
vote because of a policy.
Thats a legal question we dont know
the answer to, but it would be interesting
to know.
Nepotism: Its not
who gets the job
but who doesnt
An open letter:
Dear Mr. President, All Senators and Congressmen,
It is time to stop the games which ultimately hurt us the former
Working Middle Class and now known as the Working Poor.
Social SecurityandMedicare must never be onthe negotiating
table. PERIOD.
Our Republican leaders must stop using the psychological
head games by referring to the top 5% of our population as the
Job Creators. They are the WEALTHY, they have not created
jobs, they have shipped the jobs overseas and they do not invest
their profits inAmerica, theypocket themfor the sole purpose of
increasing their personal wealth.
Senator Mitch McConnell must stop saying that his main goal
is to beat Obama in 2012. He must stop saying that there can be
NO negotiated resolve while President Obama is in office. That
attitude is un-American and if he cant get past his Southern big-
otry then he should resign his office.
Eric Cantor andJohnBoehner must ignore the crazyRight and
remember that they represent Americans, not just American
Business. When they say they will not vote to raise taxes, they
present a monster lie. They make it sound like the Working Poor
will have higher taxes when in fact they only protect that top 5%,
the oil companies, GE and the other huge profit companies who
take and give NOTHING back.
The Americanpeople have got towake upandsee that the only
agenda of the Right is to protect big profits and balance the bud-
get by killing Social Security and Medicare. The proof is that
Speaker Boehner put Social Security up for a vote and the
Boehner led Congress voted to KILL Social Security. Dont be
fooled by their golden tongues and their ability to turn a phrase.
They say they want to reform Social Security and Medicare to
strengthen it for years to come. Translated, they mean they want
to gut both programs and what little is left can survive because
the benefits provided will be weak and miniscule in comparison
to what we the people, the working poor need to simply exists.
This is class warfare and Boehner is the General leading the
charge to cripple us the working poor.
Is there a simple solution? How about if they simply increase
the amount the wealthypayintoSocial SecurityandMedicare on
income up to $500,000? It has been said that this simple change
will cure the fiscal problems of SS and MCfor the remainder of
the century. Mr. President, it is time to produce the hope you
promised and deliver it. Stop the one way negotiations, stand
firm and if Mitch McConnell and Eric Cantor want to bring the
countrytoa standstill, thenit is onthemandthose theyrepresent.
We the working poor demand nothing less.

In this life, there are winners, there are losers.
There are leaders and there are followers.
My family, including the dogs, are proving to be
the latter, and Im not happy. Leaders, people! I
need more leaders.
Last week, my older son called from his friends
house. He wanted to shave his head. Oh, for Gods
sake, I yelled, do you mean, like Mr. Clean-
shaved, Hari Krishna-shaved or like Uncle Eddie-
shaved?
Whos Hari Krishna? he asked.
Never mind. Why do you feel compelled to do
this?
All my homies are doing it! he exclaimed.
EVERYONE is shaving their heads. Oh, and I ac-
tually want a Mohawk.
Okay, over my dead and lifeless body on the
Mohawk deal, but if
you want to shave
your head, shave your
head. But dont come
crying to me when the
fact you used to slam
your head onto the
floor when you were a
baby is revealed once
your hair is gone.
Youre heads a bit flat
on one side, you
know. Hair always
helped masquerade
that little defect.
I could tell he was
contemplating the dead and lifeless part of that
sentence when he announced: So then Im going
to shave it, okay?
Go right ahead. If youre comfortable looking
like a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, by all
means, shave away.
Three hours later he walked into the house. I
screamed and dropped a plate of okayit was a
plate of fried pierogies. Dont judge me!
I squeaked, Did you have to shave it so short?
You look like those poor kids I used to go to grade
school with. One day, they suddenly had no hair.
Well, guess what, it wasnt too difficult to figure
out who had lice that week, Ill tell you that. Sad,
ostracized lice-ridden children. What if everyone
thinks thats what happened to you, huh?
He insisted that if I had just let himkeep the Mo-
hawk, it wouldve been so much cooler. So, in
essence, it was my fault that he looked like Mr. Tin
a bathing suit? And he really did.
Well. Who else shaved their head? Please tell
me someone else shaved their head. Because if not,
that wouldnt make you a leader. That would make
you an idiot.
Um, just me and Andy and some high school
wrestlersthey actually had the clippers, he ad-
mitted.
They had the. ?
Oh, great. Just great.
Heres a news flash son. If anyone says to you: If
you jump off the bridge first, I swear Ill follow
youdont believe them, okay? This is a ploy.
Those who are smarter tell you to try something
and they always say if you do it, theyll follow. But
its not the way it works in life! You are the guinea
pig!
He slapped a baseball hat onto his very sparse
cranium. Im never taking off this hat. I think I
regret the whole thing. And ps: I have no idea what
that guinea pig thing even means.
A few days later, I was enjoying a hubcap-sized
bagel with non-fat cream cheese (as if that bal-
ances it all out) at my favorite restaurant. I was
scanning a newspaper and pretending I lived in a
big city with a big job and no children.
Oh, also, I pretended I was wearing really good
Italian shoes instead of
my rubber flip flops
and my hair was
washed.
My cell phone rang,
rather hysterically, I
thought.
It was my son, com-
pletely unhinged.
Again.
I was instructed to
come home immedi-
ately.
Apparently, our dog
had fallen out a second
story window onto the
pavement below.
He actually skidded out onto the sloped roof on
his furry rear and then dropped maybe 12 feet. He
landed on all four paws, splayed out, shook it off,
and then ran after a squirrel.
A female squirrel.
Anyway, the new puppy, a complete disciple of
the older dog, happily and stupidly followed him
out onto the ledge and proceeded to fling himself
out the windowtoo. Thankfully, my son caught the
puppy with his (and Im using his term here) cat-
like reflexes.
I prompted: Do you see the parallel here, hon-
ey? You followed the shaved high school boys and
the puppy followed his brother out the window.
What can you learn from all this?
Uhhhclose the window? he asked, hopeful
that this was the answer that would close the con-
versation.
Welcome to Life 101, son.
Winner, losers, followers, leaders and mothers.
Mothers always lead.
Sons follow.
And dogs fall.

with a big job; she wants to live here and write her
column which appears in the Dispatch every other
week.
A few days later, I was enjoying
a hubcap-sized bagel with non-
fat cream cheese (as if that
balances it all out) at my favor-
ite restaurant. I was scanning a
newspaper and pretending I
lived in a big city with a big job
and no children.
If you have thought about venturing out to pick our local
blueberries, now is the time to do it! Northeastern Pennsylva-
nians are lucky to have local berries plentiful with more than
one grower to choose from.
Folks in other regions need to rely on berries which have
traversed across state lines.
Why are blueberrys one of a Dietitians favorite fruit? They
come packed with many nutrients and phytochemicals for such
limited calories.
Here is the average breakdown.
One cup of unsweetened blueberries (so delicious, no need to
add sugar) contain: 82 calories, 4.4 grams of fiber, 0 sodium,
129 milligrams of fiber and 30% of our daily need for Vitamin
C.
If your culinary skills limit your blueberry usage to pancakes
and muffins here are a few new ideas which require few skills in
the kitchen.
Blueberry Vinegar
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 cups white vinegar
2 tablespoon sugar
Place blueberries in a sterilized 1-quart glass jar.
To sterilize, bring jar and 4 quart pot filled with water to a
boil. Boil 1 minute.
Combine vinegar and sugar in a non-aluminum saucepan over
high heat. Cover and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, and pour vinegar mixture over blueberries.
Cover and let stand at room temperature 3 days or longer.
Strain blueberry mixture through several layers of damp
cheesecloth into decorative jars; discard blueberries. Seal jars
with a cork or other airtight lid.
Yield 2 cups.
Other quick uses for blueberries are:
Toss them in with cornbread mix to make Cornbread Blueber-
ry Muffins
Toss them into a mixture of greens, almonds, and red pepper
Or, just pop a few frozen blueberries into mouth to cool off!
Here are some handling and storage tips.
First, Blueberries should be refrigerated immediately after
harvest. Decayed or moldy blueberries should be removed before
the blueberries.
Do not wash blueberries before storing because moisture
allows mold to grow. Instead, wash blueberries just prior to
using.
Gently wash blueberries in cold water just prior to using.
Drain them in a colander or place on paper towels to dry.
Store blueberries in a container with a loose cover. Depending
upon the initial freshness of the berries, they can be stored in the
refrigerator for 2 days to 1 week.
For more information on preserving blueberries, call Penn
State Coop Extension Luzerne County at 602-0600 or visit our

Question
What did Miss
Anthracite of 1952,
Patricia Roberts of
Wyoming, receive as
a prize that today
girls might not accept?
1952 59 Years Ago
Frank Swanek, Hughestown; Joseph
Borosky, Exeter; Harold Schultz, Pitt-
ston; Stanley Shoppel, Exeter; John
Donora, West Pittston; Lewis Mawson,
Wyoming; Vincent Mammarella,
Hughestown and George Davala of
Exeter had something in common in
1952. They were the first employees at
the Pennsylvania Lawnmower Division
of American Chain and Cable Company
in Exeter. The plant located on Stevens
Lane near Fox Hill Country Club ex-
pected to employ 300 males by the
end of the year and hoped to garner
adequate sales to hire 700 males.
Situated on land formerly owned by
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, construction
of the 310 by 420 foot building cost
$750,000. To see a photo of the original
plant go to viewoftheblue.com/photog-
raphy/timetables/LV092753.pdf.
Born in Foggia, Italy in 1895, Joe
Martinelli came to America in 1913 and
settled on Parsonage Street. He tried
mining for a while, working at the No. 9
Colliery loading coal for 18 cents an
hour. He had dreams of something better
so he started a 15-acre farm in Duryea
and by 1952 raised over 20,000 tomato
plants and other vegetables to sell local-
ly. During World War II, Joe operated a
47-acre farm in Harding as well. Joe
married Mary Lucarelli and was the
father of three boys and three girls. Joe
and his horse Chubby would start
plowing the fields each March and tend-
ed his gardens until the final harvest in
November.
Arthur Kunigiel, Manager, and
Coaches Leonard Wendoloski and
Joseph Golenski prepared their team
Duryea Lions Little League All Stars to
play the first game of a long series that
would lead to the Little League World
Series. The team hosted Scrantons
Greenridge All Stars. The sixth annual
World Series competition in William-
sport went international for the first time
hosting a team from Montreal, Canada.
Connie Mack, Cy Young and Branch
Rickey were among the dignitaries on
hand.
1962 49 Years Ago
It was by a slim margin that Barry
Pizzano of West Pittston beat Sam
Marranca of Pittston in a billiards
match played on a new Blatt table at
Latorres. More than 250 spectators
watched Pizzano come out ahead by a
mere 15 points taking the title of Wyom-
ing Valley Teenage Billiard Champ. The
professor of billiards Jan Mauriello
and Lou Butera, top-ranking national
player from West Pittston, officiated.
In an article written for the Dispatch
by local historian Charles A. McCar-
thy, The North Pittston Eel Company
built an eel weir, a low v shaped
dam, in the Susquehanna River above
Pittston.
In 1857 a total of 1,000 pounds of eels
were sold at ten cents per pound. The
weir was carried away in the flood of
1857.
Shareowners in the Eel Company
were John Love, Michael Bolin, Wil-
liam LaFrance, R.D. Leach, Thomas
Benedict, George Giddings, John
Hepler, Thomas Benedict H. Daven-
port, John Jenkins, Peter Gilligan,
D.S. Koon, Z.C. Phelps and Henry
Belcher.
The American eel is a catadromous
fish which means they spend most of
their lives in freshwater and migrate to
the ocean to spawn. The American eel is
common in most rivers draining into the
Atlantic Ocean. The introduction of
dams greatly diminished the Susquehan-
na Rivers eel population; the eel was the
object of a large commercial fishing
industry on the river.
The newly formed Northeast School
District came under fire the summer of
1962. Dupont youngsters found them-
selves without their regular summer
recreational program. Instructors receiv-
ing $1.50 per hour and supervisors paid
$2.50 per hour were not assigned at the
end of the school year. Dupont Mayor
Joseph Troynacki received calls from
concerned parents. He was advised by
city council that money was not budget-
ed for the city to take over and sponsor
the program.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked area residents, What
effect would you say television has on
children.
John Montaro of Pittston answered,
They shouldnt be allowed to watch the
gangster programs.
Joseph Littzi of Exeter added, The
kids try to imitate the Three Stooges,
their stunts are dangerous, but kids dont
know any better.
Mrs. Joseph Larnerd said, Some-
times it can hold their attention and keep
them out of trouble, it entertains them.
1972 39 Years Ago
From1970 to 1980, thoroughbred
racing was held at Pocono Downs Race-
track when Shamrock Racing Associ-
ation shared the track. In 1972, thor-
oughbred trainer Archie Butch of Pitt-
ston was assigned six stalls for three
sprinter horses and three distance
horses. Flying Eaglet, a thoroughbred
owned by Al Bobbouine of Pittston,
was set to be trained by Ken Smith of
Downingtown. Another locally owned
horse headed for the Downs was Bold
and Mighty owned by Victor Mosca of
Wyoming. Jim Picarillot, rack racing
secretary, reported that stall applications
ran far ahead of the tracks three pre-
vious years of thoroughbred operations.
Pocono Downs Race Track briefly
ceased operations in mid-1972 and
served as an evacuation center for resi-
dents displaced by the floods brought
about by hurricane Agnes.
Duryea and Old Forge teeners base-
ball teams were set to clash for the
championship of Greater Pittston. Joe
Faheys Duryea Ski Squad included
Mark Roskowski, Jerry Zielinski,
John Yesnowski, Bernie Nitowski and
Pete Olshefski, pitchers with combined
records of 10-0. A Duryea win would
assure the title, an Old Forge victory
would force a championship play-off. If
anyone knows the outcome of this game,
please call me at 602-0168.
Top ten songs of 1972 as reported by
David Yonki in the Teen Record Revue:
1. Too Late to Turn Back Now, Corne-
lius Brothers & Sister Rose.
2. Lean on Me, Bill Withers.
3. Nice to Be With You, Gallery.
4. Rocket Man, Elton John.
5. Daddy Dont You Walk So Fast,
Wayne Newton.
6. Too Young, Donnie Osmond.
7. Song Sung Blue, Neil Diamond.
8. I Wanna Be Where You Are, Mi-
chael Jackson.
9. Living In A House Divided, Cher.
10. The Runaway, Grassroots.
1992 19 Years Ago
The Filipini Sisters served Our Lady
of Mount Carmel Church from1946 to
1992, the year their convent closed and
the order moved to New Jersey. Sisters
Genevieve Corallo, M.P.F., Superior
Josephine Ridolfo, M.P.F., and Marian
Bruno M.P.F. were the last of the reli-
gious teachers to occupy the convent.
Each expressed their sorrow in leaving
the area. A picture of St. Lucy Filippini
on the right side of the altar and above
the altar a photo containing Ninetta
Ionata M.P.F., the Mother General of
the Order who accompanied the original
sisters to Pittston in 1946, were left as
reminders of the order presence in the
parish.
Rosemary Weinstock, owner of Ro-
semarys Country Classics in Wyoming,
and co-owner, with husband Jerry, of
BJ Smith Furniture, wanted to com-
memorate the 20th anniversary of the
Agnes Flood. Rosemary commissioned
Afghans that included local sites woven
into the design. Photographs of The
Market Street Bridge, train station, cour-
thouse, Wyoming Monument, Come-
rford Theatre, coal breaker and First
Presbyterian Church were provided by
the historical society.
2002 9 Years Ago
John and Sandra Panzitta, owners of
a Victorian home on Susquehanna Ave-
nue in West Pittston, and Beverly Turn-
er of Perennial Point Plants in Plains
recreated a Victorian era garden with
unusual plants and greenery. The couple
unveiled their creation to approximately
30 members of the Pittston Historical
Society, gardeners and Victorian home-
owners. The Victorian era was said to be
influenced by the reign of Queen Victo-
ria, 1837-1901. Gardening styles ranged
from the conservative to the exotic. The
Panzitta home is a restored original of
the era.
Nick Esposito of Exeter did not get to
see his dream realized. Nick requested a
new war memorial be constructed with
names of servicemen who lived in Exe-
ter and died serving our country. The
memorial was to be placed at the site of
the newly constructed Exeter borough
building. Before completion of the pro-
ject, Nick passed away. Exeter Mayor
Joseph Coyne and Jack Brogan contin-
ued to seek funding. In 2002 the memo-
rial was completed and ready to install
at the entrance to the new borough
building on Wyoming Avenue.
Answer
Patricia Roberts, the winner of the
Miss Anthracite Beauty Contest spon-
sored by the Pittston Junior Chamber of
Commerce in 1952, received a mink
stole complete with head and feet.
A career is born in public, talent in
privacy.

A
s Rev. Paul McDonnell,
OSJ, and businessman
Joseph Joyce Jr. met
with Tina Fisher, Executive Di-
rector of the Greater Pittston
YMCA, Wednesday morning at
the Greater Pittston Chamber of
Commerce building to discuss
strategies for raising much need-
ed funds for the Y, right across
the street some 250 people were
participating in a variety of pro-
grams at the downtown facility.
Ranging in ages from 2 to 80-
plus, they were either playing
and learning in pre-school pro-
grams, taking spin or aerobics
classes, participating in the sum-
mer day camp, swimming in the
pool, playing basketball in the
gymor working out in the health
club.
There are 113 children in our
summer camp alone, said Fish-
er, who attributes her own excel-
lent health to her time spent at
the Y.
The three, along with Rosem-
ary Dessoye, Executive Vice
President of the Chamber, talked
about the importance of the YM-
CA and the difficult financial
times for all non-profits.
Father McDonnell, rector at
the Oblates of St. Joseph Semi-
nary, is serving as chairperson of
the Ys annual campaign. The
goal is set at $50,000 which is a
small portion of the Ys $1.1mil-
lion operating budget.
Father Paul said while honor-
ed, he was at first surprised at be-
ing asked to chair the campaign
but upon reflection realized
there are similarities between the
church and the YMCA, aside
from the word Christian in its
title.
The church is part of the
community in much the same
way that the YMCA is, Father
Paul said. In many ways, the
mission of the church and the
mission of the Y are parallel and
it is good that all of us are work-
ing together.
Joyce, who along with his
brothers operates Joyce Insur-
ance, located directly across
Main Street from the YMCA,
talked about the importance of a
vibrant YMCA in the down-
town. The city is really coming
around, he said, and a success-
ful YMCA in the heart of town
helps everyone.
Joyce Insurance, which refur-
bished the former Kresge build-
ing on Main Street and employs
some 60 to 70 people, has been a
good neighbor to the YMCA
supporting a variety of funding
activities.
In addition to the value of the
Y to the City, Joyce, I person-
ally just love seeing the children
in town. I often step outside to
watch the pre-schoolers going
for their daily walk.
Fisher said she realizes the
YMCA has plenty of competi-
tion these days but pointed to
some of the things exclusive to
the Y, like swimming instruction
and the gymnasium(there are 13
summer basketball league in
progress), and the fact that the Y
is a one stop shop. Moms can
drop off their children for baby-
sitting while they use the fitness
center, she pointed out.
Fisher indicated a $110 gift to
the Y can help a grandmother
raising her daughters child to re-
ceive a week of subsidized after
school care and a $300 gift can
help five youth to develop skills
they need to do better in school.
She added that donations of
any amount are greatly appre-
ciated and there is no donation
too small.
To make a contribution go to
GreaterPittstonYMCA.org or
call 570-655-2255 or just stop in
at 10 N. Main Street.

No, its every day at Thomas
Barbecue in Moosic. The iconic
restaurant was founded in 1929
by Caroline Thomas and operat-
ed continuously by her family
and descendants until 2004.
One year ago the restaurant
was reopened after a six-year hi-
atus byCarolines granddaughter
Candice Chilek of West Pittston
the third-generation owner who,
having started as a waitress at
age 13, was part of the family
juggernaut which kept the busi-
ness going,
Her mother Betty was also a
waitress at the barbeque. When
Betty died in 2004 the restaurant
was owned by Chileks Aunt
Theda who was in her mid-80s
and the restaurant was closed.
At that time Chilek, who had
worked as a director of admis-
sion for a technical school, was
working in rental property man-
agement and she actively sought
to lease the business. There were
interested parties, but they
couldnt secure loans, so Chilek,
with some trepidation, decided
to reopen Thomas Barbeque.
Oh my God it was a big deci-
sion, she said. One of the decid-
ing factors was the possibility
she could lose the restaurants li-
quor license if she didnt reopen,
but, she said, I decided to go for
it because my mother and grand-
mother had such a great love for
it. I thought if my grandmother
could start it in 29 I could give it
a go in 2010.
She had waitress experience,
but not restaurant management
experience, so she learned. I got
some good help and learned
from them, did a lot of research
of menus and prices.
With the help of her fianc
Stephan Marr she did some re-
modeling, though not enough to
change the retro look, and reo-
pened last July with a limited
menu. If Chilek worried her cus-
tomers wouldnt bridge the six-
year gap when the barbeque was
closed, they proved her wrong.
They clamored for some of the
menu items from the past and
Chilek expanded the menu.
Now in addition to the restau-
rants signature barbeque sand-
wiches topped with sauce from
her grandmothers 1929 recipe,
Chilek and her 10 employees
prepare and serve hot pork, beef,
and turkey sandwiches, honey
dipped chicken, ice cream sun-
daes and more.
Thomas Barbeque was se-
lected to be the food vendor at
the Picnic in the Park in Scranton
on July 31.
The first anniversary of the re-
opening is July 28 and Chilek
said there will be a first anniver-
sary celebration with giveaways
and food and drink specialties.
Chilek said she is keeping
prices low to attract families and
many old customers have return-
ed, but she hasnt seen a lot of
people from the Pittston area. I
lot of people still dont know
were open.
Thomas Barbecue is 4810
Birney Ave., Moosic near Rt
502. The phone number 457-
5720. The hours are Tuesdays
through Thursdays, 11:30 to 7
p.m.; Fridays, 11:30 a.m. to 8

Quote of the Week
Do I love you because youre
beautiful, or are you beautiful
because I love you? AmI making
believe I see in you, a woman too
perfect to be really true? Do I
want you because youre won-
derful, or are you wonderful be-
cause I want you? Are you the
sweet invention of a lovers
dream, or are you really as beau-
tiful as you seem?

After being bounced from the
postseason last year by Greater
Pittston, Plains was hopingtoex-
act revenge this season.
Payback completed.
Plains, which entered the tour-
nament as the No. 4 seed, defeat-
ed top-seeded GP for the second
time in three days on Monday to
oust the defending Wyoming
Valley American Legion League
champions with an 11-6 victory.
Plains lost to Back Mountain
in Tuesdays title game, but both
teams have wrappedupa berthin
the Region 5 Tournament, which
begans yesterday in Blooms-
burg.
The kids are going to be fired
up, Plains manager Don Stark
said. Weve got to play sound
defense. Weve got to throw
strikes and get ahead early. Wed
like to go in with a little confi-
dence and just see where the
cards fall.
On Monday, Plains opened a
1-0 lead in the first inning on an
RBI single by Josh Savakinus
and never looked back. A run-
scoring hit fromDomGulius (2-
for-4) in the third gave Plains a
2-0 advantage before Greater
Pittston even had a hit against
starting pitcher Bob Sorokas.
Greater Pittston trimmed the
deficit to 2-1when P.J. Bone sin-
gled home Randy McDermott.
But thats the closest GPwould
get, as Plains kept tacking on
runs. Plains scored two more in
the fourth and added another in
the fifth to push the lead to 5-1
entering the bottom of the fifth.
Greater Pittston, who has won
12 WVAL titles, closed the gap
to 5-2 in the fifth, but again
Plains didnt stop as it poured on
six more in the seventh with 10
batters coming to the plate to
take a commanding 11-2 lead.
The past couple games, the
at-bats havent really been there,
but today we just kind of unload-
ed, said Plains designated hitter
Jordan Bone, who was 2-for-5
with a pair of doubles and two
RBI. I think we just really need-
ed a win against them and we
saw the ball well.
Greater Pittston showed why it
was the top seed in the bottomof
the seventh not giving up, but
eventually running out of gas af-
ter batting around and scoring
four times on five hits.
It just seemed to be Plains day
as the offense even broke out
against GP pitcher Anthony Bel-
lino, who always seems to pitch
perfectly against his rivals.
Plains notched three runs in just
2/3 of an inning against the
righty.
Youve got to continue to put
on runs because theyre capable
of putting up eight, nine, 10 in an
inning, Stark said. We never
felt comfortable with any lead
that we had.
Sorokas pickedupthe win, go-
ing five innings and only giving
up three hits and two runs. He
fanned two and walked three.
Dylan Concini and Justin Okun
each had two hits for the win-
ners, with Okun knocking in
three.
Andre Harris belted a three-
run double for Greater Pittston,
while McDermott was the teams
lone multiple hitter going2-for-2
and scoring three runs.
Pittston Area grad James Cas-
tellino pitched the final two in-
nings for Plains and also added a
run-scoring single for Plains.
GP 3, Nanticoke 2
Greater Pittston bounced back
from its loss to Plains in the
opening round of the WVAL
Post-Season Tournament with a
3-2 win over Nanticoke on Sun-
day afternoon in Mountain Top.
Nick OBriens sixth-inning
solo homer proved to be the dif-
ference for GP. OBrien also sin-
gled and drove in an additional

Greater Pittston had no answer
for Plains righty Anthony Grillini

Plains, which lost to Greater

season, entered the game with
payback in mind.
The team showed a little extra
motivation early on, jumping out
to a 2-0 lead before an out was re-
corded in the first inning. Plains
kept piling up the runs, getting
single runs in the second, fourth
and sixth and two in the third.
Grillini (2-for-4) and Pittston Ar-
ea grad Josh Savakinus (3-for-3)
led the offense with two run-scor-

ed no time taking a 1-0 advan-
tage in the title game. With one
out in the top of the opening in-
ning, Nicole Turner roped a
single to centerfield. She then
used blazing speed to steal her
first of three bases in the game.
She then advanced to third base
on a passed ball before an
Adrienne Przybyla ground out
to second allowed Turner to
score easily.
The GWA offense continued
to roll and exploded for a four-
run second inning.
Drew Bednarski drew a lead-
off walk and then moved to sec-
ond on a fielders choice. Lind-
say Carey then singled and
Bree Bednarski was hit by a
pitch to load the bases for GWA
with two outs in the inning.
A little bit of luck then went
GWAs way.
Turner then struck out for the
third out, but reached first base
on a passed ball. Przybyla then
opened the floodgates with a
bases clearing single to left-
centerfield. The GWAlead was
5-0 after just two innings of
play.
Forty Fort/Kingston finally
got on the board in the third
when they drew a leadoff walk
and later cashed in on a double
to right-centerfield.
However, the one run in the
third would be their first as
well as their last in the game.
Turner led off the sixth in-
ning with a single right back up
the middle and then stole sec-
ond base for the second time in
the game. She was moved to
third on an infield single by
Przybyla and later scored on a
groundout off the bat of Sarah
Coolbaugh. Megan Bresnahan
then singled in Coolbaugh and
the GWA lead was 7-1 after six
innings of play.
GWA extended their lead to
9-1 in the top of the seventh.
Turner led off the inning with a
walk, she then stole second
base yet again and was ad-
vanced to third on a single off
the bat of Przybyla. Coolbaugh
then roped a two-RBI single to
right field.
The nine runs proved to be
more than enough for GWA to
capture their second straight
District 31 junior softball
championship title.
Bresnahan was the winning
pitcher and was terrific for
GWA. She allowed just two hits
in five innings. She struck out
four opposing hitters while is-
suing just one walk. Forty Fort/
Kingstons first hit didnt come
until the third inning.
Lauren Maloney then fol-
lowed suit by coming in to
pitch the final two innings. She
used the combination of a ter-
rific fastball and an even better
changeup to keep the opposi-
tion off balance in the batters
box.
Przybyla led the GWA of-
fense with four hits. Turner,
Bresnahan and Carey also had
multi-hit games for Greater
Wyoming Area.
The GWA played a perfect
game defensively and had no
errors.
GWA 5, K/FF 4
Lauren Maloney struck out
11 to lead Greater Wyoming
Area to a 5-4 win over King-
ston/Forty Fort in a District 31

and Adrienne Przybyla and Ni-
cole Turner tripled and doubled
respectively for GWA.

The 77th Annual Scranton Li-
ons Club Dream Game will fea-

Old Forge High School football
team which won seven games
and qualified for the District 2
Class 1A playoffs.
Former Blue Devils Connor

ceiver caught 35 balls for 549
yards. The two-way performer
also finished third on the teamin
tackles with 73 from his defen-
sive back position. He also had
two interceptions.
Brandon Souryavong played
all-star caliber football for two

recorded 79 tackles, including
nine for loss; recorded three

sively, the outside linebacker re-
corded 63 tackles, including 19

Anyone who is interested in Minor League baseball is general-
ly only interested because they support the Major League club
that that team is affiliated with.
Well, with the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees, you get a nice
taste of some major league talent.
Throughout the year, if you took a trip to PNC field you would
have seen some veteran names you might recognize from the
past.
The Yankees have had former Major League stars such as Car-
los Silva, Mark Prior, and Kevin Millwood right here in our
backyard.
Although Millwood and Silva are no longer a part of the Yan-
kee organization, there are still some notable faces on the team.
These players, though, are not there because they are washed
up.
Most of our area being that we live in Pennsylvania, support
the Phillies, which means that they will recognize the name JC
Romero.
Romero is a left-handed reliever who has had a very successful
career. Hes spent time with the Twins, Phillies, Red Sox, Angels
and now the Yankees. Romero was with the Phillies as recently
as May and after he was released, he signed with the Nationals.
Due to a clause in his contract, Romero became a free agent
and, as of Wednesday, is now a Yankee.
Romero is exactly what the Yankees are looking for but his
contribution at the big league level wont come easy. The Yan-
kees are going to make him prove himself at the Triple-A level
before being promoted.
That means that for a nice amount of time we get to see a good
Major League pitcher here in Scranton. Theres no doubt in my
mind that Romero will be in pinstripes before the rosters expand
in September. The Yankees need his left arm. That being said,
make sure you see him live before you start seeing him help the
Yankees win championship number 28.
The biggest reason why you should be flooding the stadium in
Scranton, though, is right-hander Ivan Nova.
Nova has been with the New York club for a year and he has
done a very nice job picking up the team in its need for starting
pitching. He was having a wonderful rookie season before he
was sent down and he has made a good name for himself in the
big leagues.
You might ask then, if he was so good then why did he get sent
down?
Well that is because of the wonderful setup we call the 25-man
roster. With Sabathia, Burnett, Garcia, and Colon having good
seasons, Nova became the odd man out when former 18-game
winner Phil Hughes recovered from his injury. So to keep him
fresh, the Yankees sent him down.
Nova is a great talent that is already proven at the Major
League level. Teams would kill for that. He has a bright future
and the minute the Yankees need a start it will be Nova to the
rescue.
Not only should you go see Nova pitch now because he can be
a contributor in New York later this season, but you should see
Nova now because for years to come youll be watching him
prosper into one of the better pitchers in the Major Leagues.
Tommy Romanelli is a WA Grad and a sophomore at LCCC.
He writes for pinstripesplus.com. His thoughts on the SWB Yan-
kees will appear in the Dispatch throughout the season.

Kyle McMyne struck out the
first three batters he faced in his
professional debut three weeks
ago when the Old Forge grad
took the mound for the Rookie-
Level Billings (MT) Mustangs
against the Great Falls Voyagers.
And in typical fashion,
McMyne then induced a groun-
der to third for the third out of the
inning.
Yes. You read that right.
McMyne actually needed four
outs to complete his first profes-
sional inning of work.
The Villanova product threw
three strikes to the leadoff hitter
to start the game, but when a
third-strike slider got past the
Mustangs catcher, the batter re-
ached first. McMyne then struck
out the next hitter on three pitch-
es, and notched his third strike-
out on four pitches.
The fourth-round pick of the
Cincinnati Reds, McMyne
pitched a scheduled two innings
in the start and allowed just a
bloop single in pitching to eight
hitters. On the season, McMyne
has pitched six innings in three
starts, allowing three runs on
seven hits and two walks. He has
struck out six. The Mustangs are
2-1 when McMyne has started.
McMyne spent four days at the
Reds spring training facility in
Goodyear, AZ before being as-
signed to Billings. Manager Pat
Kelly said in a radio interview
prior to McMynes second start
against Mizzoula that the OFHS
all-time strikeout leader would
beginhis workslowlyafter pitch-
ing so many innings during the
collegiate season.

The UGI Reading Wizard recently visited
the first grade students at the J.F.K. Ele-
mentary School for their third and final
Reading is Fundamental (RIF) book distri-
bution, which is provided through a mone-
tary grant through UGI Utilities, Inc. RIF,
one of the oldest largest childrens literary
organizations, conducted three book distri-
butions this year to all the Wyoming Area
School Districts first grade students. Since
1991, UGI and RIF have been involved in a
unique motivational reading partnership de-
signed to help first grade students improve
their reading skills and become lifelong
learners. One hundred and ninety first grade
Wyoming Area students experienced the
fun-filled reading events and selected three
books at no cost to them or their families.
The program is funded through a federal
grant to the UGI Corporation. Employees
from UGI Utilities, Inc in Wilkes-Barre vol-
unteered their time to be in attendance dur-
ing the three scheduled book distributions to
assist children in the various reading activ-
ities. The Reading Wizard visiting the J.F.K.
student was portrayed by UGI employee,
Ms. Donna Layaou.
During his visit the UGI Reading Wizard
wanted to hear all about the books the chil-
dren chose and read from each of the book
distribution events. The UGI Reading Wiz-
ard is a big promoter of the importance for
students to keep on reading. The Wizard
brought along his favorite story about how
he got his name, the Reading Wizard. His
book is a coloring book as well as a wonder-
ful story. In addition to his book he also
gave each child a Reading Wizard book-
mark. The first grade students were very
excited on meeting the Reading Wizard.
Lisa Ninotti, UGI Community Relations
Coordinator, read Reading Wizards favorite
book to each first grade class and reminded
them to keep on reading."
Rita Mauriello, District Reading Super-
visor, coordinated the Reading Is Funda-
mental (RIF) program for the districts first
grade students. First grade J.F.K. students
can bee seen in the photos with the Reading
Wizard during the final book distribution for
the year.

She is currently the Mayor of

zerne County Democratic Party
and also a Democratic State

Besides her Mayoral position,
Coleman was employed at the
District Office of State Repre-
sentative Phyllis Mundy from
June 2006 to July 2010 and is
now employed by Senator Rob-
ert Casey as his deputy finance
director. In this position, she
handles all of the Northeast and
Central counties of the state.
Cassandra and her fianc, Jim,
plan to marry in April 2013.
Following is the text of her
speech:
Good evening everyone. First
off I want to thank you for invit-
ing me tonight and I want to per-
sonally thank all of the people
who make these scholarships to
Wyoming Area possible. It is so
great tobe backinthe school that
brings back so many fond me-
mories, to see familiar faces of
teachers that made my high
school years both meaningful
and entertaining at times.
It feels like just yesterdayI was
walking down these halls trying
to avoid the hall monitors, or
spending every study hall with
Mrs. Rabel in the guidance of-
fice. The friendships I formed at
WyomingArea have onlystreng-
thened as the years have passed.
they helped me become the per-
son I am today.
Wyoming Area teaches us to
become a family. The friends
that I met in elementary school
are going to be my bridesmaids
at my upcoming wedding.
On our graduation day, it was
sad to say goodbye to that family
that I shared so many memories
with. Those unforgettable pep
rallies, the student council meet-
ings and bus trips, the footballs
games, which reminds me of
something most of you probably
donot know, I was the official se-
nior class mascot in 2005-2006,
talk about school pride! But its
something that I still look back
on and laugh at.
And just like parents, the
teachers at Wyoming Area push
you to the point where you just
want to scream, always revealing
hidden life lessons in their lec-
tures, it isnt until looking back
on it now, having taken those les-
sons out into the real world, that I
realize they truly were relevant
and practical.
Thats somethingyoudont get
at every high school: the ability
to trust your teachers like family,
to go to themwith problems, and
they, willingly bending over
backwards to help every time. I
consider myself extremely lucky
to be a product of Wyoming Ar-
ea.
If it werent for the guidance
and direction I received fromthe
one and only Mrs. Fedor, I dont
know if I would have gotten into
college or landed an internship
right out of high school with
State Rep. Phyllis Mundy an
internship that shaped the direc-
tion of my life.
I was fortunate enough to
work in the field where I would
ultimately build my career all
through college. It is remarkable
when you think about it. Teach-
ers like Mrs. Fedor truly have a
remarkable life-altering impact
on students lives. Shes a one-in-
a-million educator and Wyom-
ing Area is extremely fortunate
to have her.
And I know I am only one in a
long line of students she has tou-
ched and had a tremendous im-
pact on.
Ill never forget the day of
graduation, the dayI receivedthe
call and was offered that intern-
ship, the one that would change
my path in life, for the better.
Phyllis Mundy was an amazing
role model for a young woman
who had a liking for politics, and
notice I sayliking. It was through
my work with Phyllis and with
her guidance that I was able to
develop that liking, into a love, a
love that has given me the moti-
vation to wake up every day, the
passion to want to go to work be-
cause I truly enjoy what Im do-
ing, a love that has gotten me to
the place I am today, and will
continue to guide the path I take
as my political career begins to
unfold.
I wouldbe remiss, however, if I
didnt attribute the spark of that
passion for politics to the person
who deserves it. Three and a half
years ago, my life changed. My
grandfather, who was sitting
Mayor of Exeter at the time, was
diagnosed with a terminal brain
tumor. It was then, that I truly
needed all those life lessons I
learned at Wyoming Area. My
grandfather and I shared a very
special bondthroughpolitics. He
wanted me, if and when he
passed away, to fulfill his term.
With determination and desire
to stand up for what I felt was
right, I accepted my grandfa-
thers final wish and I was sworn
inas Mayor of Exeter Boroughin
October 2008.
At 20 years old, I was, at that
time, the youngest female mayor
serving in the United States and
was now responsible for a town
with just under 6,000 residents.
It was then that I remembered all
those secret life lessons that were
hidden in those dreaded lectures.
I should fight for what I wanted;
I should never give up; I should
never let criticism bring me
down for this was just the begin-
ning of what I had in store.
Today, I look back at every-
thing that happened and realize,
everything happens for a reason,
I am a huge believer in that.
At 23 years old, I have already
seen opportunities I never
dreamed of, most recently, the
very surreal feeling of walking
into a drug store, or Walmart, or
a grocery story, or a news stand
and to open up Oprah Magazine,
a nationally read magazine and
be able to see my face and my
story. I was successful in making
the one thing my grandfather al-
ways hoped for come true: put-
ting Exeter Borough in North-
eastern PA on the map.
So if I can leave you with one
piece of advice tonight, never
forget where you came from, for
in a fewyears you will be able to
look back and say Wow thats
what this lecture meant, or thats
why that teacher was so hard on
me. And never give up on your-
self. If you believe in something,
if you want something, fight for
it until the bitter end.
Because the most important
thing is for each and every one of
you to be able to lay your head
down at night with a clear con-
science. Dont try to please any-
one else, you are the only one
who has to truly live with your
decisions.
So, Wyoming Area Class of
2011, I wish you much luck and
success inyour future endeavors,
and remember, we will all, every
single one of us, be forever War-
riors.
