at noon.
When I find myself in times of
trouble,
Mother Mary comes to me
speaking words of wisdom:
Let it be.
Paul McCartney
My phone rang right at noon
one Sunday a few weeks ago
and it was my daughter calling
from Los Angeles. It was 9
a.m. there and she was cruising
along the freeway on her way to
brunch with a few girlfriends.
Dad, she began, I just had
to call you. You know Ive been
lucky enough to live in some
pretty fabulous cities (she was
referring to Savannah, Georgia;
Boulder, Colorado; Austin,
Texas; and now L.A.). Well, in
every single one of them, Ive
always been able to find a radio
station on Sunday morning
playing their version of Break-
fast with The Beatles. And
thats what Im listening to right
now. I knew youd like hearing
that.
She was right.
When Greta lived and
worked in Boulder, she and my
son Michael shared an apart-
ment and worked at the same
advertising agency. I always
refer to that firm as the place
that brought us the creepy
Burger King King.
It was an exciting place to
work but, to me, the demands
were almost too much to bear.
More than once my son called
me at 9 or 10 in the morning
(Boulder time) to tell me he
had worked on a project all
night long, more than 24
straight hours.
The job was exhausting to be
sure, but I think both Greta and
Michael would also call it in-
vigorating. In fact, Im sure
they would. Invigorating and
fulfilling.
Trying to imagine that level
of intensity, I once asked my
son, When its 3 or 4 in the
morning and youve been on
the job since 9 the previous
morning, how do you find the
motivation to keep going.
Dad, he said, I can tell you
in two words. Abbey. Road.
His strength came from a
Beatles album one that hap-
pens to be my favorite by the
way.
I didnt try to make my chil-
dren into Beatles fans, but it
seems to have worked out that
way. Good.
Ive often told my college
students one of the big differ-
ences between my generation
and their generation is that
when I was their age, we lis-
tened to song lyrics like: I
want to hold your hand. They
listen to song lyrics like: Its
getting hot in here, lets take off
all our clothes.
Ill take the innocence of
those Beatles songs any day.
When Michael was in col-
lege, also in Savannah where
his sister went to school, he
called me one day raving about
the lyrics of The Beatles song
Let it Be. He said if he was
having a bad day, all he had to
do was lie down on his bed and
put on Let it Be and every-
thing would seem better.
He would always add, If I
ever get a tattoo, it will be sim-
ply Let it Be.
Time went by and Michael
moved to Boulder and experi-
enced something I had hope
neither of my children would
ever have to: a broken heart. It
was his first, which made it
worse. He immediately swore
off women a good strategy
but one I knew wouldnt last
and enjoyed being a bachelor
for about a year. Then he met
Ashley.
He proceeded with caution
a lot of just walking and talking
at first but I could tell he was
smitten. One day as he and
Ashley chatted over coffee, The
Beatles came up. Turned out
Ashley, too, was a Beatles fan.
Michael told her about his
love of Let it Be and how
someday those words might be
tattooed on his body.
Oh, you mean like this,
Ashley said. She raised the leg
of her jeans to reveal the words
Let it Be tattooed on her
ankle.
That was two years or so ago
and Michael and Ashley are
still together. They just noted
their first anniversary in their
apartment in Chicago.
And, yes, Michael has a Let
it Be tattoo. Its on the inside
of his forearm. Greta designed
it.
Last fall, I told that story to
one of my classes. Last week a
student from that class ran into
my office with a story he just
could not wait to tell me.
Mr. Ackerman, he said,
youll never believe what hap-
pened. I was pulled over for
speeding the other day. I rolled
down the window waiting for
the policeman but I forgot to
turn off the radio. The song Let
it Be was playing. Well, the cop
came up to the window, stood
there for a minute listening and
then just said to me Let it be.
He went back to his car and
drove away.
Bet that policeman knows
where to find Breakfast with
the Beatles on his radio Sunday
mornings. He might even be
listening to it right now.

hey were best friends, and
now that he has passed,
Laura Mudlockcontinues
a legacy left behind by Jimmy
Ruane as funeral director of the
Ruane & Mudlock Funeral
Home.
After Mudlock completed her
funeral directors licensing in
October, the old Ruane &Regan
Funeral Home on Kennedy
Street officially became the
Ruane & Mudlock Funeral
Home at the end of January.
Ruane and
Mudlock met
volunteering
in 1998. Mu-
dlock volun-
teered with the
Pittston Am-
bulance Asso-
ciation during
the summers
as she finished
studying
sports medi-
cine at West Chester University.
She and Ruane were partners
and the two became fast friends.
Mudlock said she always had
an interest in the anatomical sci-
ences but the funeral home busi-
ness seemed to have been a log-
ical next step.
While she was at West Ches-
ter, she had a friend in the livery
business. She helped himout oc-
casionally, traveling to homes
and hospitals to retrieve remains
after death.
After graduating from West
Chester, Mudlock moved home
where she took many roles work-
ing for Ruane.
Paula Regan, owner of Ruane
and Regan Funeral Home, Avo-
ca, said Jimmy Ruane and her
late husband, Michael, were
business partners and good
friends.
Regan said Mudlocks move
into the directors role comes as
no surprise.
She didnt just come onto the
scene. Shes been working for
this for years, doing everything
from driving the hearse to being
a pall bearer, Regan said.
Regan said five years ago
when her husband died, Jimmy
Ruane conducted the funeral for
his friend but Mudlock was right
there beside him. She said Mu-
dlock showed sincere compas-
sion and support to her during
her grief.
Mudlocksaidas she continued
to work with
Ruane, he en-
couraged her to
go back to
school for her
morticians li-
cense.
Mary Ruane,
Jimmy Ruanes
widow, still
helps out in the
office with pa-
perwork and fielding phone
calls. She acquired a widows li-
cense to conduct funerals after
her husband died in May last
year while Mudlock finished
morticians schooling.
She said Mudlocks taking
over is just what her husband
would have wanted.
Jimmy definitely wanted her
to take it, Mary Ruane said. If
it was just me, I wouldnt have
continued.
Mudlock said she hopes to
honor her predecessor.
I dont need to do a ton of
business, Mudlock said. But I
want to do it well. I think that
would make himproud. Over the
years, Jimmy taught me to just
take care of people and just be
there for themon their worst day.
Were a family business and the
families we deal with, we treat
them as such, like family.

shift enforcement responsibility
in the downtown business dis-
trict from the state Bureau of Li-
quor Enforcement to city police.
Pittston Police will now re-
spond to calls about loud music
and similar calls.
Lombardo said an effective
noise ordinance was always mis-
sing from city regulations, and
City Manager Joe Moskovitz
added that the new responsibil-
ities will provide greater noise
violation response capabilities.
The ordinance stipulations
covers the entire city and regu-
lates car horns and alarms, ra-
dios and music players, yelling,
praised the effort.
You guys were able to
achieve something in this reduc-
tion that no other administration
was able to achieve before you,
Lombardo said. You should be
proud.
In other business:
Council agreed to send a
proposal to Pittston Area School
District to provide school re-
source officer coverage.
Specifics of the plan are yet to
be worked out, but each police
department in the district was
asked to submit a proposal.
Council passed several
noise regulations, one that would
It was part of the pledge that we
made in passing Home Rule, that resi-
dents would see a property tax reduc-
tion. Were hopeful that next year we
will be able to offer a more significant
homestead reduction.
Michael Lombardo
Pittston councilman
Several city officials heralded
the city property tax bills that
were mailed out recently with an
average 20 percent savings for
many property owners.
The homestead exemption
passed in November as part of
the Home Rule Charter benefits
property owners that live in their
homes.
City tax bills are coming out
now and were happy to report
that if you look at your state-
ment, youll see the homestead
exclusion, which we passed last
year is included on your tax bill,
said Councilman Mike Lombar-
do. So, for the first time in dec-
ades, property owners who live
intheir homes have seena signif-
icant decrease in their city real
estate taxes.
Lombardo said an average
savings is $102 or 20 percent.
We are believers that the
property owners have been un-
fairly burdened over the past
years and this is our first step in
providing relief, Lombardo
said.
Councilman Danny Argo, an
opponent of the Home Rule
Charter, voiced his praise at
Wednesdaynights council meet-
ing.
Mine was $102 less than last
year, Argo said. So thats very
good.
Lombardo said city officials
are proud to offer the reduction.
It was part of the pledge that
we made in passing Home Rule,
that residents would see a prop-
erty tax reduction, Lombardo
said. Were hopeful that next
year we will be able to offer a
more significant homestead re-
duction.
Luzerne County has a similar
$10,000 homestead tax break
given to roughly 84,000 residen-
tial property owners. The home-
stead exemption, which was
wrapped in with the county reas-
sessment, knocked $10,000 off
an assessment for county taxes
only, not school or municipal
ones.
Less than 50 percent of the
people that own property live in
the city.

Anyone found in violation
faces up to a $300 fine, court
costs, and/or 30 days in jail.
Council passed an updated
peddling and transient retail
business ordinance. The original
ordinance was from 1915 and
city officials felt it was out of
date.

Pittston City was awarded a
$1.2 million low-interest loan
Thursday that will pay for an ele-
vator in City Hall and relocating
the Police Department to the
basement.
The building would then be
fully handicapped accessible.
The terms of the $1,263,700
Community Facility Direct Loan
allow for a 40-year repayment at
3.125 percent interest. The loan
is being made available by the
Rural Development sector of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Michael Lombardo, the citys
former mayor, said theres a mat-
ter of public safety.
One night I was here at a Re-
development Authority meeting
on the first floor and the police
were bringing this guy jacked up
on bath salts, screaming and
banging off the walls in the hall-
way, he said. Weve got elderly
people coming in here paying
taxes. Its a dangerous situation.
City Hall was dedicated in
1940 and had some renovations
done in the 1970s.
Currently, the first floor in-
cludes the citys administrative
offices, treasurers office, tax of-
fice andthe police stationandas-
sociated offices. The second
floor houses the office of the
Pittston magisterial judge, coun-
cil chambers, which also serves
as a courtroom, the mayors of-
fice and the redevelopment au-
thority office. The basement for-
merly housed the Pittston Me-
morial Library before it moved
to its current home in 2000.
The plan is make the main en-
trance of City Hall to the left side
of the building where the current
wheelchair ramp is. The rear
stairwell will become an elevator
shaft and a new stairwell will be
constructed alongside the old
one. The police station would
move to the basement. The city
will do a space study to see what
will move in the first floor space
that housed police headquarters.
When the police department
moves to the basement, it will go
from 790 square feet to about
2,500 square feet, said Joe Mos-
kovitz, Pittston City Manager.
The move would increase the
space and create a configuration
that is more functional for deliv-
ery of 21st century police servic-
es, Moskovitz said. It would
add a degree of confidentiality
as well.
Pittston Police Chief Robert
Powers said after an arrest is
made, a prisoner is escorted
through most of City Hall.
Right now, we have to bring
our prisoners in the main en-
trance, then take them down the
City police offices to be relocated

As downtown Pittston begins
to thrive, parking has become an
issue.
The City recently repaired or
replaced the meters downtown
and has hired a parking enforce-
ment official to monitor meters
and issue tickets.
Were taking an aggressive
look at parking, said Mike
Lombardo, of the citys Redevel-
opment Authority, which owns
the city lots.
In addition to the new meters,
the city plans parking kiosks for
several of its downtown lots.
The truth of the matter is a lot
of times you get out of your car
and you have no quarters, Lom-
bardo said. And its hard to run
into places. Sometimes people
will say, Im only going to be 5
minutes, and it blows up and
they get it ticket.
The kiosks, Lombardo said,
will allow a motorist to use cash
or change, a smartphone app that
uses Paypal or credit and debit
cards.
The city has four major lots:
the lot behind the YMCA, the
Tomato Festival lot, the Rite Aid
lot and the new St. Johns lot.
Meals on Wheels of Greater
Pittston has recently found itself
in an awkward position.
The volunteer drivers have
been getting ticketed and warned
about double parking in front of
their headquarters on Main
Street.
What happens one day when
a truck comes down the street
and they get flattened? said Joe
Moskovitz, city manager.
Double parking is an issue,
evenfor a short time, because the
Citys Fire Headquarters in near-
by and the trucks round a corner
directly in front of the building.
Sterling Fisk, of West Pittston,
a volunteer with Meals on
Wheels, said he felt the city was
targeting his group.
Just recently, we are now not
allowed to double park on Main
Street in order to load our vehi-
cles, he said. We were told to
park in the public lots.
Drivers from UPS and FedEX
double park with flashers when
they make deliveries, Fisk said.
Were not sure why Pittston is
worried about getting 50 cents
froma groupof volunteers, Fisk
said.
Lombardo said the city
doesnt need the meter revenue
and its being used to pay the at-
tendant and repair meters.
There are these new circum-
stances that weve created with
development and we want to be
user friendly, he said.
Louise Smith, volunteer coor-
dinator and president of the
board of Meals on Wheels of
Greater Pittston, said her group
and the city have come to an un-
derstanding.
They will honor our past
commitment with our placard in
the window at the meters, she
said.
The drivers load up in front of
the buildingina meteredparking
spot, but sometimes double park
when theres no spaces available.
Most of our drivers are older,
and its difficult to carry 20 hot
meats in a great big thermal bag
and a box with 20 trays, Smith
said. Were not there long.
Were in and out.
Additionally, drivers pay for
their own gas and high gas prices
make parking tickets especially
difficult to pay.
Meals on Wheels has three
routes: the Duryea route, which
includes Avoca, Dupont and
Hughestown; the Pittston route,
which covers Pittston City to the
Plains Township border; and the
West Side route, which goes
from West Pittston to the airport
in Forty Fort.
The Oddfellows have provid-
ed space in their building at no
charge to the charity since 2003.
Meals on Wheels has about 56
volunteers, which include cooks,
runners and drivers.
The group delivers lunch and
dinner to 60 people in the Grea-
ter Pittston Area, Monday to Fri-
day.
Lombardo said there was like-
ly a breakdown in communica-
tion.
There was a failure on all of
our parts to consider everybody
that was using downtown, he
said.
Double parking is still off the
table, but the city will respect the
organizations window placards
from6:30 to10:30 a.m., Monday
through Friday.
The city will consider a re-
quest for a loading zone space in
the morning for the group.
Lombardo said speeding on
Main Street needs to be ad-
dressed as well.
We firmly believe that traffic
is way too fast going down Main
Street, he said.
A new traffic light, at the cor-
ner of Market and Main streets,
is nearly ready to be installed, he
said.
The gap between the Colum-
bus Street light and the Broad
Street light, thats a big gap,
Lombardo said. And people are
going entirely too fast.
The city and authority re-
ceived approval to install the
light and funding is 95 percent
complete.
PennDOT likes it because its
another traffic calming mecha-
nism, Lombardo said. And in
the big picture, what are you los-
ing, maybe 15 seconds?

Construction is occurring at
the Martin L. Mattei Middle
School, but theres not a ham-
mer or saw in sight.
A new club, called the Build-
ers Club, has community ser-
vice and character building on
the blueprints.
Officers and advisers of the
club told the Pittston Area
School Board Wednesday all
theyve been accomplishing.
The group is sponsored by
the Greater Pittston Kiwanis
and the Key Club at Pittston
Area High School. The group,
which has 52 members, meets
twice a month, every other
Tuesday, said Patrick Mitchell,
president of the group.
We perform at least one ser-
vice project a month, he said.
One of the advisers, Sarah
Donahue, said she was in the
Builders Club when she was in
school in the mid 1990s.
Then I became a full-time
teacher in the fall of 2009 and I
realized the club was no longer
in existence, she said. When
she started to plan to re-launch
the club, thats when Katie

The investigation into allega-
tions a Pittston Area teacher
belittled a student last year has
concluded with disciplinary
action.
What the disciplinary action
is will remain a mystery, but the
teacher will remain employed
in the district.
The instructor, who district
officials did not identify,
agreed to disciplinary action
and remedial conditions outside
the scope of the collective bar-
gaining agreement at no further
cost to the district, the districts
solicitor, Joseph Saporito, an-
nounced at the end of the regu-
lar meeting of the School Board
on Wednesday night.
Saporito acknowledged the
employee is still employed by
the district.
In the beginning of the 2012-
2013 school year, the teacher
said to a student in class, Its
day 13 and I cant stand you
already, and asked if the stu-
dent had Tourette syndrome.
The exchanged was recorded
by another student on a cell
phone.
The board in October hired
Attorney Mark C. Walsh at
$150 an hour as independent
counsel to investigation wheth-
er there is sufficient evidence to
proceed with dismissal pro-
ceedings.
Superintendent Michael Gar-
zella had indicated the teacher
could be dismissed.
Saporito warned all nine
school board members not to
discuss the outcome publicly.
A letter from the teachers
union to teachers that spoke of
parent inadequacies stirred a
related controversy.
Union Vice President Rocco
DAngelo sent a letter to union
members saying, It is of ut-
most importance to conduct

Tom Melone, finance manag-
er for the Wyoming Area School
District, presented preliminary
budget figures at a special ses-
sion on Tuesday night. He was
careful to point out that the final
budget is far from complete. He
said, May and June may differ
drastically.
For now, the Wyoming Area
school board has adopted a pre-
liminary budget of $30,337,816
for 2013-2014.
The preliminary budget
adopted by the board calls for a
4.42 per cent increase in millage
for area residents. This increase
includes both the state-allowed
index and an exception for in-
creased retirement costs.
Board members John Bolin,
Deanna Farrell, John Marianac-
ci, Frank Casarella and Gil Do-
minickvotedfor the budget. Carl
Yorina, Jr., Estelle Campenni
and Mary Louise Degnan voted
against. Board member Eliza-
beth Gober-Magnan was absent
from the meeting.
Melone pointed out that the
budget is non-binding and that
final decisions about next years
budget wont be decided until
June 30. Even with the tax in-
crease, Melone still anticipates a
more than $500,000 shortfall
over expenditures in 2013-2014.
He also showed projections for
the next three years. According
to Melone, the districts more
than $3 million fund reserve
could shrink to $368,000 in the
2015-2016 budget. He pointed
out that his projections included
tax hikes.
Wyoming Area properties lie
in both Luzerne and Wyoming
counties. The proposed tax in-
crease would raise the millage
for Luzerne County properties
from 13.5408 to 14.1458. A mill
is a $1 tax on each $1,000 of as-
sessed property value.
An average Luzerne County
property in the Wyoming Area
district is valued at $116,456.
The owner of a property of aver-
age value would pay an addition-
al $70 in taxes next year based on
the preliminary budget.
The tax increase for district
residents whose properties lie in
Wyoming County would face a
millage increase from the cur-
rent 77.3780 to 78.8120. An av-

steps to the holding cells, Pow-
ers said. Then we have to bring
them back upstairs to our office
then up another sets of stairs to
the magistrates office on the
second floor to arraign them.
Then back down again.
David Hines, the citys oper-
ations coordinator, showed off
the buildings deficiencies.
Its completely wasted space
down here, Hines said, walking
through the boxes piled in the
basement. And theres no way
of getting down here from up-
stairs because the stairwell is
blocked.
In September, council voted to
submit a $2 million loan/grant
application to the United States
Department of Agriculture for
improvements to City Hall and
to extend the Streetscape project
on South Main Street from Mar-
ket Street to Columbus Avenue.
Thats important because its
a gateway street and also it com-
pletes the central business dis-
trict, part of the Streetscape,
Moskovitz has said. It would be
part of the Streetscape. The city
has plans for that block.
That block currently houses
longtime Pittston City power-
houses the Gramercy Restaurant
and Ballroom and Sabatelles
market.
We feel that its important to
finish the project by including
that in the streetscape, Mosko-
vitz said. The streetscape part of
the loan is still being processed,
he said.
Generally, Community Facili-
ty Direct Loans may be used to
construct, enlarge, or improve
community facilities for health
care, public safety, and public
services.
The city believes now is a
good opportunity to take a long
term investment in our head-
quarters, Moskovitz said. Up-
grading is required to meet the
needs of our community. Were
investing in ourselves.

ourselves in a professional
manner, and warning since
we all get painted with the
same brush by the public lets
try giving them nothing nega-
tive to paint with.
I fear that students and par-
ents will now, more than ever
try to implicate us in their mis-
placed blame for their own
inadequacies as parents.
Garzella issued a news re-
lease at the time saying the
boards number one priority is
to provide a superior education
while protecting the safety,
health and welfare of the stu-
dent body, and noted the union
letter does not reflect the ad-
ministration or School Boards
views or directives.
Any and all alleged inci-
dents of bullying; student-to-
student, teacher-to-student or
student-to-teacher will be in-
vestigated and responded to
appropriately.
In other news, former Board
member Tony Rostock ques-
tioned the board regarding
district leaving the Northeast
Pennsylvania School District
Health Trust in 2007 and the
districts lawsuit to recoup mon-
ey it paid into the trust.
Rostock had served on the
Pittston Area board for 16 years
before losing a re-election bid
in 2005.
In a January ruling, a panel
of five judges from the state
Commonwealth Court over-
turned a December 2011 ruling
by former Luzerne County
Judge Lewis Wetzel favoring
Pittston Area and Dallas school
districts.
Pittston Area and Dallas
withdrew from the trust at the
end of June 2007, after com-
plaining about the trusts large
surplus which topped $20
million at one point and was,
they contended, $18.3 million
when they pulled out of the
consortium.
The districts argued the high
surplus was proof the trust was
charging more than it was pay-
ing out, and left in search of
cheaper alternatives. They re-
peatedly asked for an account-
ing of the surplus and insisted
they were entitled to their share
of it, according to a recent re-
port in the Times Leader.
The trust maintains the
agreement signed by all mem-
bers was clear: Any money paid
into the trust stays with it un-
less it dissolves.
Wetzel agreed with Dallas
and Pittston and the trust ap-
pealed his ruling and won.
The appeals panel sided with
the trust, repeatedly citing the
language of the trust agreement
and saying that keeping sep-
arate records for each district
doesnt matter as long as all the
money goes into and is paid
from a single account.
The ruling sets the stage for
what amounts to a legal tie-
breaker in the state Supreme
Court.
Rostock argued the district
would have saved $1.1 million if
it had stayed with the trust the
entire time.
He said the mounting legal
fees erase any savings the dis-
trict initially might have seen
after leaving the trust.
In other business:
The board hired Colleen
McAndrew at the Answering
Service/Data Input (payroll
portion) clerk. She replaces
Madeline Calabro, who re-
signed.
Tom Rainey of Bonita &
Rainey presented the 2012
single audit to the board. No
problems were reported.
Garzella recognized the
Pittston Area cheerleaders for
placing third in a national com-
petition and the Pittston Area
swim team as the District 2
champions.
PA Board
Martin offered to be a co-adviser.
Two advisers is better than one be-
cause we can do double the activities,
Donahue said. We have done a lot of
activities that would not be possible for
one person.
Principal Patrick Bilbow said Dona-
hue and Martin approached him about
rebooting the club.
They said the club would be dedi-
cated to service and also character
building, he said. I thought, for sixth,
seventh and eighth grade kids, that
sounds like a perfect recipe.
The groups officers, President Patrick
Mitchell, Vice President Vito Quaglia,
Treasurer Amy Cooper and Secretary
Arianna Mazonis, told the school about
the club, the service projects that have
been completed and the upcoming pro-
jects.
A major project the group undertook
was the Thanksgiving in a Box program
that provided underprivileged Greater
Pittston families with a full meal at
Thanksgiving.
Each homeroom was responsible for
adopting one family and each student
was assigned to bring in one item for
the familys box. And the Pittston Area
Federation of Teachers provided the tur-
keys.
In all, 65 Greater Pittston families
were able to enjoy a complete Thanks-
giving dinner, from stuffing to juices to
deserts. Mazonis said.
Other projects included the states
Adopt a Highway program; replacing
flags at a Pittston cemetery; writing out
more than 100 Christmas cards for sol-
diers serving overseas; the Adopt an
Angel toy and clothing drive; handmak-
ing Valentines for residents of the
Mountain View Nursing Home in
Scranton and answering pledge calls for
WVIA TVs annual membership drive.
Also, 42 members rang the bell at the
Salvation Army Kettle Drive at the Pitt-
ston Walmart. More than $600 was
raised in six hours.
And $1,140, including $600 in
change, was raised in the Pennies for the
Pittston Police Pooch, which helps Pitt-
ston City purchase supplies for the de-
partments new police dog, Blitz.
Upcoming events include a Charter
Dinner on March 15 at the Dupont Hose
Company; the Got Soap? soap, anti-bac-
terial gel and coffee drive for 80 stu-
dents relatives serving in Afghanistan;
Easter Dinner in a Box; Big Brothers/
Big Sisters Bowling for Kids Sake and a
field trip to Washington, D.C.

yoming Area School
District teachers
union president Lisa
Barrett has resigned that post,
Superintendent Ray Bernardi
confirmed Thursday. The
union elected Melissa Dolman
as new president, he added.
Barrett also requested a
medical sabbatical from her
teaching duties at Wyoming
Area Secondary Center, school
board President John Bolin
said. The request was on the
agenda at Tuesdays work ses-
sion and will likely be voted
on at the regular meeting next
Tuesday.
News of Barretts union re-
signation and request of a sab-
batical came the same day Lu-
zerne County District Attorney
Stefanie Salavantis confirmed
her office has agreed to a re-
quest by Wyoming Area offi-
cials to look into rumors of
possible missing funds.
Salavantis said she will not
know the details until she and
a detective meet with district
officials next week, and
stressed its just rumors at
this point.
The moves come during pro-
tracted contract negotiations.
The teachers have been work-
ing under the terms of a con-
tract that expired in August
2010.
Barrett, a career technology
teacher, was not at work at the
Secondary Center on Thursday
and did not respond to an
email seeking comment.
John Holland, the lead nego-
tiator for the teachers union
and field director of the Penn-
sylvania State Education Asso-
ciations regional office, de-
clined comment.
District lead negotiator at-
torney Jack Dean of Elliot
Greenleaf law firm said he had
not heard of the resignation.
He noted that, while Holland
has been lead negotiator for
the union, Barrett has attended
most negotiation sessions.
Those sessions have been
held fairly regularly, Dean said,
though they did slow during
the Christmas season. We
were meeting twice a month
sometimes, he said.
While the talks have been
going on for three years, they
have been progressing, Dean
said. Were moving toward
the middle on both sides.
The next meeting of the two
sides is scheduled for Monday.
Negotiations stayed largely
out of the public eye until the
union staged an informational
picket before the start of Janu-
arys regular monthly board
meeting. Barrett spoke up both
during the picket, held outside
in near-freezing temperatures,
and during the meeting, ad-
dressing the board.
All were asking for is a
fair contract, Barrett said dur-
ing the picket. In a brief state-
ment during the board meet-
ing, she said the union was
willing to meet as often as
needed to work out a new
agreement, but added ultimate-
ly its five votes on the
board.

A group of volunteers helped make re-
pairs to the archaeological dig site in the
Coxton section of Duryea Saturday morn-
ing after it was gutted by vandals last
week.
Researchers have uncovered remnants
at the site of American Indians who
camped along the Susquehanna River
thousands of years ago.
According to Ted Baird, treasurer of the
Frances Dorrance Chapter of the Society
for Pennsylvania Archaeology, the repairs
to the vandalized site are going well.
We have a nice group of volunteers
helping stabilize the site for the rest of the
winter, Baird said. Once winter breaks,
well get back to it.
Al Pesotine, who started the dig in1991,
said the damage was more of a nuisance
than anything else.
The main thing is the grid work was
not disturbed and that would have set us
way back if that was the case, Pesotine
said.
Pesotine had said vandals ripped the
plastic off a weather port or greenhouse
hat covers the dig, busted the shifting
screens, destroyed the one-meter square
grids, smashed benches and shredded the
plastic covers.
A group of volunteers, most without
formal archaeological training, are me-
thodically digging to learn about the past
and find artifacts that will be housed at
The State Museum of Pennsylvania in
Harrisburg.
Pesotine said the dig, which has been
ongoing since 1991, is in the only spot in
the Coxton area that hasnt been touched
in 10,000 years.
The rest of the area has been compro-
mised by mining, railroading and devel-
opment.
Workers, all volunteers from the SPA,
had excavated down to 8,000 years when
the vandalism occurred.
Crews have uncovered fire cracked
stone, a fire pit and projectiles sharp ,
spear-like objects usedfor hunting, andan
axe-type tool used for splitting bone or
wood. Also discovered were net sinkers,
nutting stones, a polishing stone and a fire
pit with13 boiling stones. Its rare to come
across wood and bones because the soil in
the Susquehanna River area is veryacidic.
Carbon dating of pieces has proved the
site is 10,000 years old.
The dig work is painstaking.
The site, about the size of a typical
greenhouse, is divided up into one-meter
squares. Every bit of dirt goes into a five
gallon bucket and is then sifted through
screens.
In the winter, the group examines and
organizes the artifacts they have found at
Pan Cultural, Inc. Archaeological & His-
torical Consultants in Pittston.
The Native Americans who inhabited
the site of the dig were much different
from the Native Americans students typ-
ically learn about in school. Rather than
being part of a collective or tribe, these
werenomadicfamilygroups that followed
the migratory patterns of animals.
Pesotine, who has been trained in ar-
chaeology and oversees the Coxton digs,
oftenshows off thegemof theCoxtondigs
a kirk point that would have been on the
end of a spear. Carbon testing determined
it is from 8,000 B.C. To date, the chapter
has uncoveredmorethan300separatefea-
tures suchas firepits. Pesotinesaidalmost
3,000bags of artifacts havebeenremoved,
including hundreds of stone projectiles.
On Sunday a red pickup was seen at the
sitefromacross theriver, but it is unknown
if it had anything do with the vandalism,
Pesotine said.
Duryea Mayor Keith Moss said a report
was filed with Duryea Police and they are
actively investigating it.
Readers can leave tips or comments on
the vandalism on the Heritage Hotline at
570-445-4836 (Dial all 10 numbers).
Comments on other aspects of local histo-
ry are welcome.
Repairs are underway at dig site

Take a moment and read the letter on
this page from Joe Savokinas regarding
last weeks vandalismat archeological dig
in the Coxton section of Duryea.
We could not put any better the disgust
and outrage all residents of Greater Pitt-
ston should feel at what happened at this
location where for the past 22 years vol-
unteers have painstakingly and lovingly
toiled to unearth information not only
about ancient people dwelling here but
about ancient man in general.
Experts estimate the dig has uncovered
artifacts dating to 8,000 years ago.
Perpetrators of this vandalism should
be prosecuted to the fullest extent and we
encourage anyone with information on
them to contact authorities immediately.
This was a crime against us all.
Vandals
should be
ashamed
After reading about the destruction at the archeological dig in
the Coxton section of Duryea, I was totally outraged. I think that
the people from the Wyoming Valley should be outraged also.
You may ask, why get so upset about a hole in the ground?
Thousands of years before the Parthenon, Pyramids, Coli-
seum and the Aztec Temples, people were living on that spot in
Coxton. It is no way as majestic as the aforementioned places,
but it is of no less importance.
In fact it may be more important.
At the level this is being dug at this time, people were living
there 8000 years ago. Im sure as they dig deeper, they will find
evidence of earlier people.
JUST A HOLE IN THE GROUND? I THINK NOT.
This site has been worked on for over 22 years by volunteers,
hoping to gain knowledge of how the Native Americans lived
here, thousands of years ago. There is no way that a price tag can
be put on the amount of damage that was caused.
I only hope that if and when the perpetrators are brought to
justice, the judge sentences them to the fullest extent of the law.
I also hope that the judge in his wisdomattaches an extra sen-
tence on them. Perhaps making them do community service at
the archaeological site for 3 weeks a month for 5 years. That will
make them realize what a cost their destruction really was.
It was said that if we do not learn fromhistory, we are bound to
repeat it. Imsure that after 5 years working at that site, they will
not want to repeat it.

OUROPINION
Mary Boylan passed away Monday at
age 80.
In her own quiet, dignified way, Mary
was a pioneer of sorts, working at the
Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce
from 1950, growing from a secretary to
the executive vice president at the time of
her retirement.
In that capacity, she was a powerful
woman. But you would never know it by
her demeanor.
In her spare time, Mary loved garden-
ing, painting, arts and crafts, genealogy
and, of all things, bowling.
She was quite a lady. And quite a role
model.
We were fortunate to have known her.

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere
appreciation for the numerous acts of kindness shown by our
friends, neighbors, Red Cross and firefighters on Tuesday, Jan
29. As we stood and watched in disbelief as our home burned,
perhaps even more unbelievable was the outpouring of support
around us.
We must begin by saying that there is no way to individually
name each person who needs to be thanked without missing
Hughestown fire victims appreciate efforts, kindness

According to the new noise ordinance
in the City, whistling is now a crime.
We understand drafters of the ordi-

to bring a smile to ones face as we picture
the Seven Dwarfs being marched off to
jail for whistling while they worked.

Pittston Township Supervi-
sors unanimously approved a
change in the zoning ordinance
on Tuesday
The change included the regu-
lation of cell phone towers, solar
panels, wind farms and wood
fire burners.
The goal of the Planning
Commission is to maintain and
improve quality of life for town-
ship residents, said Supervisors
Chairman Anthony Tuttle.
He said the ordinance reflects
compliance with Federal Com-
munications Commission direc-
tives concerningsuchtechnolog-
ical issues as cell phone tower
placement.
Tuttle also emphasized input
from residents had been wel-
comed and received throughout
the drafting of the ordinance.
I can say all involved have
followed due diligence to ensure
we have covered as many aspects
of our townships current devel-
opments, as well as future ones,
Tuttle said.
Solicitor John Finnerty said he
had reviewed the ordinance and
found it legally sound and espe-
cially well done.
Zoning Officer Terry Best,
professional liaison for the pro-
ject, lauded the commission for
its hard work on the ordinance
over a two-year period.
In another matter, Micheal
Fiorelli, CPA, presented the
townships 2012 audit, saying
the books and records were
found to be in excellent condi-
tion, with no irregularities.
The audit reflected a total fund
balance at year close of
$2,693,357.
This leaves us in a good fi-
nancial position to move forward
with building projects planned
by the Board for the upcoming
year, Township manager John
Bonita said.
The board also announced the
arrival of a newambulance, to be
put into service upon the com-
pletion of necessary certifica-
tions and licenses.
It authorized the Ambulance
Association to retain a rebate of
$4114 received from the vendor
for future expenses.
The board approved use of
township fields for Little League
baseball, t-ball, and minor
league ball. Challenger League
will have use of the field on Sat-
urday night. Victory Baseball
will play on Sunday evenings.
The next meeting of the Board
of Supervisors will take place on
Monday, March 18 at 7 p.m.

When my now 18 year-old son came to me in
second grade, clutching a gold sheet of paper that
announced upcoming wrestling sign-ups, I hid it
where noone ever looks: inthe hamper. Nowaydid
I want my little boy to be part of a sport that was so
primalsosobarbaric. He was just a baby!
No. Way.
Three hours later, myhusbandstrode throughthe
door and announced excitedly: Guess who I just
signed-up for wrestling?
I threw up.
People whoknowour familyknowthat wrestling
is as much a part of the Heck Lifestyle as meat-
balls, white cookies and whining. Members of the
expanded male branch of the family tree were all
wrestlers; its intheir DNAand, as these things tend
to, the compulsion for it trickled down to the next
generation of prehistoric animals.
Ive started dating my husband at the age of 16.
Thats when I first became exposed to the sport. I
actuallycannot believe I datedhimduringThe Sea-
son of Starvation because, apparently, hunger real-
ly just brings out the nasty in a wrestler. You can
eat. But you cant swallow. Ideally, you can eat ice
cubes and air, but not much else. (Half joking).
In other words, he was a big, fat dud as a boy-
friend.
And look how that all ended up.
Now, we have pro-created and produced a whole
newassembly line of wrestlers. It was unavoidable.
I dont make large babies. They, in actuality, are
mutants, and there are very few sports in which
they can participate without getting killed. Wres-
tling is it and they embrace it with passion, a half-
nelson and an ankle pick.
After years of being immersed in this wrestling
world, I can tell you this: everything you need to
learn about life, you can learn through wrestling. I
believe there is no other sport that teaches a child
the main cornerstones of life in such a way that it
truly dictates what kind of adult they are to beco-
mephysically and mentally. (Mostly mentally.
Because once they are allowed to eat again, wres-
tlers sometimes cannot stop eating well into adult-
hood, and, welllets just say there are a lot of
larger wrestling coaches out there. Not ours,
though.)
Wrestlers are a special breed of human being.
Dieting down to a specific weight class is not for
the faint-hearted. If I could lose weight the way
these boys lose weight, I would be one happy,
svelte librarian. Its grueling. An ethical coach en-
courages a specific, nutritionally-sound technique.
Usually, because theyre boys and theyre idiots,
they dont listen to reason and do it their own, stu-
pid way. But I will tell you this its the resolve and
dedication to get to your assigned weight class that
shows what these boys are made of. Girls may be
made of sugar and spice and everything nice; wres-
tlers are made of metal.
Wrestlers conditiontheir bodies everysingle day
of the season and if youre a Heck, its imperative
you spend every other day of the year conditioning,
as well. Booorr-rrring.
But the mind-set they form throughout the sea-
son is hard to shake in the off-season. The stamina,
the gumption and the pride of it all overflows to
every other aspect of their lives. This is something
they cant buy at GNC; they have to percolate it
within themselves.
Wrestlers physicality is remarkable and their
ability to maintain the endurance necessary for six
minutes of bruising and battering is significant. If
you put any other kind of athlete on that mat, with-
out a team assisting him, I guarantee you, they
wouldnt last through the first 90 seconds.
There is no other athlete that pushes himself to
the edge with such mental prowess and physical
strength as a wrestler. You either have that drive or
youre a football player. Ha. Ha.
A wrestler gets knocked down and always, al-
ways, gets right back up, not unlike my Rock Em
Sock EmRobots, circa1970. Its called survival of
the fittest and this philosophy is just not common
among kids anymore. Unless it involves their cell
phone and a data plan.
Humility, focus, drive, determination and an
honest sweat these are the gifts we hope our chil-
dren will wrap up, hold tight and travel with well
into adulthood. The ability to singularly excel and
still maintain their humbleness while pushing to at-
tain their goals is a direct result of their life on that
mat.
Sadly, last week, the brain trust behind the IOC,
met privatelysomewhere inStupidville, apparently
got drunk and disoriented and voted to remove
wrestling from the 2020 Olympic line-up. Wres-
tling, which has been an Olympic event since1896,
is going the way of croquet.
Why?
Socrates said: I swear it uponZeus, anoutstand-
ing runner cannot be the equal of an average wres-
tler. My brother wouldnt agree but theres no ar-
guing with Socrates.
What the rationale is for removal of this sport,
which is a display of endurance and focus of the
most Herculean magnitude, from the Olympics, I
cannot hazard to guess. But, someone decided it is
more important to retain the events of race walking
or rhythmic gymnastics (involving leaping and rib-
bon-twirling) or dressage. Dressage! I mean,
horses over wrestlers? What would Socrates say to
that?
I know what Dan Gable, Olympic gold medalist
in wrestling, would say: Once youve wrestled,
everything else in life is easy.
I dont knowif it will be easy, but I knowmyboys
are equipped to handle any big, hairy, sweaty ob-
stacle that comes their way in life. I dont think you
can say the same for a ribbon-twirler.

For more information, visithttp://www.eatright.org/gnrl/.
For grains, tryquinoa inplace of white rice andpasta. This whole
grain originated in South America and contains all the essential
amino acids making it a complete source of protein. Quinoa is rela-
tively unknown among everyday consumers, but once explored it
often become a new favorite.
Instead of enjoying a salad with your everyday greens, try using
arugula, watercress, or spinach in place of iceberg and romaine.
Watercress and spinach are particularly beneficial in place of iceb-
erg lettuce due to their high vitamin A and vitamin C content,
which are both antioxidants.
As a special treat for you and your family, purchase one of the
more unfamiliar fruits. Produce aisles offer a wide variety of fruit
that go unnoticed by the average shopper. Some examples are
prickly pears, papayas, kiwi, and star fruit.

Pear varieties may be round or bell shaped with
a spicy or sweet avor. They have a yellow, red or
blush skin, some are brown and russeted, some
skins are smooth, some bumpy. Pears ripen once
they are picked. As the pears ripen, the esh at
the stem end softens and the aroma intensies.
Once ripe, they can be extremely fragile.
Anthony Lydon was born with
only half of a heart. The first
month of his life was spent in a
hospital incubator hooked up to
IVs, and just nine days after his
birth, he persevered through
heart surgery.
Four years later his mother, Ta-
nya Nawrocki-Lydon, said that
by looking at him, no one would
ever guess that her son is living
with Hypoplastic Left Heart
Syndrome (HLHS), a rare condi-
tion with no known cause where
the left side of the heart does not
develop properly.
Outwardly, Anthony is a nor-
mal and healthy, but he knows
hes different because hes at the
doctors a lot, Lydon said of her
son, who sometimes gets a little
overwhelmed and frightened by
the medical process, but overall
does surprisingly well for a four-
year-old.
By the time he was two years
old, Anthony had gone through a
process of three reconstructive
heart surgeries called the Nor-
wood Procedure. He has a pace-
maker and travels to Janet Weis
Childrens Hospital in Danville
every three months for doctor
appointments.
The diagnosis was a shock to
the new parents, who were look-
ing forward to a healthy baby
boy. Lydon said she remembers
looking at her son while he was
in a hospital incubator soon after
she was told of his diagnosis.
He was hooked up to 28 differ-
ent machines, so that means
there were 28different things go-

FACTS OF
LAW
Brought to you as a paid public service by
the Law Ofces of Dominick P. Pannunzio,
294 Main Street, Dupont, 655-5541
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to
overturn legal immunity for telecom
carriers that allegedly participated with a
U.S. National Security Agency surveillance
program during the last decade. The Supreme
Court, without comment, declined to review
a December 2011 appeals court decision
upholding legal immunity for AT&T in its
effort to assist the NSA to monitor telephone
calls and Internet communications following
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the
U.S.
***
NewYork has new legislation that would
allow nonproft groups to post bail for poor
defendants charged with minor crimes.
***
A federal appeals court recently reversed
itself, ruling that the Army Corps of
Engineers is not liable for devastation caused
in Hurricane Katrina from a government-
built navigation canal. The Court of
Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the
government is immune from lawsuits for
decisions made by the corps that might
have left the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet
vulnerable.
***
Alaska state employees can use private email
accounts for public business but the messages
must be preserved under public-records laws,
the Alaska Supreme Court has ruled.

Yorina followed up on an ex-
penditure last month for tickets
to a Penguins ice hockey game.
Yorina believes that since the
highschool choir hadbeenasked
to sing the National Anthem at a
Penguins game, they shouldnt
have beenaskedtopayfor tickets
to get in. In his view, the request
was absolutelyludicrous. Yori-
na made several calls in an effort
to find someone who could ex-
plain that policy.
Yorina also brought up a con-
cern about registered sex offend-
ers in the Wilkes-Barre area. He
discussed Megans Law which
allows the public to find out
where registered sex offenders
live and work in their area. Those
living near a sexual offender
must be notified.
But Yorina said that he was
shocked to find out that the radi-
us of those who must be notified
was small. He gave the example
of a violent sexual offender inthe
area. He said that the police only
had to contact those who lived
within 250 feet of the offender.
Yorina believes the district
should provide a link to the state
Megans Law website. He asked
District Solicitor Jarrett Ferenti-
no if a link to the Megans Law
site could be placed on the
schools website. Ferentino said
that doing so would be accept-
able.

Speaker
When it comes to dairy, many
people have already made the
switch to the high protein, low
fat alternate to yogurtGreek
yogurt. Greek yogurt comes in a
wide variety of flavors and
brands. Be mindful, however, of
the number of calories. Choose a
non-fat plain or vanilla flavor
and add your own choice of fresh
fruit for a little less protein, less
calories and less cost.
There is more than just chick-
en or beef when it comes to in-
corporating protein into your
meals. Some plant-based pro-
teins include tofu, nuts including
walnuts and almonds, and eda-
mame a legume that can be
added to salads or eaten alone.
Choosing these plant-based pro-
teins will significantlyreduce in-
take of saturated fat and lead to
optimal heart health.
Make a goal to choose at least
one new healthy food from
fruits, vegetables, grains, protein
and dairy food groups for each
week during March.

I saw other babies die right in

was that may happen to mine.
Lydon said her family takes
everythingone dayat a time. Its
hard, but we cant change it, so
we just love him and try to give
him a normal childhood, Lydon
said of her son, who has no guar-
antee of a long life.
Sometimes I think why me?
But then I remember there are
people out there who have it ten
thousand times worse than I do,
andGodgave this tome for a rea-
son.
Now that they are settled in
Pittston after losing their previ-
ous home to the 2011 flood, the
Lydon family believes its their
turn to start giving back to those
who have helped them.
In honor of National Congen-
ital Heart Defects Month, Lydon
is helping Humpty Dumpty Kol-
lege, where Anthonyattends pre-
school, organize a fundraiser for
the pediatric intensive care unit
(PICU) at Janet Weis Childrens
Hospital.
The Kollege is selling brace-
lets for adults and children and
locally hand-crafted girls bows
and is hosting a Zumba class
from 7:15 8 p.m. on Monday,
February 25 at Aerobic Lifestyle
on Exeter Avenue in West Pitt-
ston.
The Kollege is also accepting
donations to Geisinger Founda-
tion (write PICU on the check

Anthonys condition makes
him all the more special, Lydon
said. Hes special, not just to
me, but to everyone. He is every-
ones little miracle. I cant even
think of all the people who
prayed for us and supported us. I
cant thank everyone enough!

Honor roll listed
High School
Senior Angelo Lussi recent-
ly achieved something that very
few high school wrestlers ever
do.
He celebrated his 100th career
win in a match against Scranton.
Lussi, who has been wrestling
since he was in kindergarten,
was presented with a plaque in
honor of his achievement on
Thursday, Feb. 14.
Lussis family was present for
his award and he was especially
happy that his grandmother was
able to attend. Winning his 100th
match was a huge relief to Lussi,
who admits that he was really
nervous and barely slept for the
two nights prior to his match.
Upon winning, Lussi felt like
a million bucks and that a huge
weight had been lifted. After
graduation, Lussi will attend
Kings College where he will al-
so wrestle.

Vice President Joe Biden
awarded Pennsylvania troopers
Robert Lombardo and the late
Joshua Miller Public Safety Of-
ficer Medals of Valor Wednes-
day the highest national award
for bravery by a public safety of-
ficer during a White House
ceremony.
The medal is awarded to offi-
cers who have exhibited excep-
tional courage, regardless of per-
sonal safety, in the attempt to
save or protect human life.
Including Wednesdays 18
honorees, a total of 78 medals
have been presented since the
first recipients were honored in
2003. U.S. Attorney General Er-
ic Holder co-presented the
awards.
Lombardo, of Pittston, attend-
ed the ceremony to accept his
medal and Millers wife, Angela,
accepted for her late husband.
Biden gave an emotional speech
to the honorees, thanking them
for their rare commitment to
bravery. He spoke di-
rectly to Angela Miller
at the start of his ad-
dress.
My heart goes out to
you, Biden said. I
knowyour pain. Ive lost
a spouse and a daughter.
I know that this is an in-
credibly bittersweet mo-
ment for you.
Miller sat in the first row and
wiped tears from her eyes as Bi-
den talked about firefighters and
police officers and their 24/7
commitment to protecting the
public.
Again he looked at Miller and
spoke.
You will have all the police
and firefighters in your commu-
nity looking out for you and your
kids for the rest of your life, Bi-
den said.
Angela Miller said it was emo-
tional for her and her three
daughters Justine, 19, Breana,
16, and Joslyn, 6 but she said
the ceremony and Bidens com-
ments were impressive and very
special.
Im absolutely honored that
Josh was selected to receive this
medal, she said. To think a
complete stranger heard Josh
and Robbys (Lombardo) story
and felt they were deserving of
this honor means somuch. It tou-
ched me deeply.
Trooper Miller, of Pittston
Township, was gunned down on
June 7, 2009, when he and other
state troopers helped
rescue a 9-year-old boy
from a kidnapper near
Tobyhanna. He and his
partner Lombardo, who
was shot and recovered,
rescued a boy kidnapped
at gunpoint from his
mother. The incident be-
gan with a car chase in
Northampton County after the
boys father kidnapped his son.
After Wednesdays ceremony,
Angela Miller said she was hum-
bled to attend. She came away
impressed by the stories of the
amazing people with incredible
stories of unselfish acts they did
for people.
She said the ceremony was a
very proud moment for her and
her girls.
For the vice president to sin-
cerely express his feelings and to
know he has been through a lot
himself was very touching, she
said.
Angela Miller nowlives in her
hometown of Laceyville,
Wyoming County, across from
the cemetery where Josh is bur-
ied.
U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-
Moosic, attended the ceremony
and said the honors bestowed on
the two men were fitting.
The Medal of Valor will not
replace those we have lost, but it
does let these police officers,
state troopers, firefighters and
corrections officers know how
strongly our nation feels about
their selfless acts, Cartwright
said. Trooper Lombardo, fallen
Trooper Miller and their families
are true heroes and I was honor-
ed to be a part of the ceremony.
Lombardo, of Pittston, said he
was honored to be recognized,
but he doesnt consider himself a
hero.
The people that make the ulti-
mate sacrifice are the true he-
roes, he said. This happens ev-
ery single day throughout the
country there are police and
firefighters who put their lives
on the line every single day. Ob-
viously Josh deserves it more
than anybody.
I was proud to be there to rep-
resent the Pennsylvania State Po-
lice, he said.
We have had 94 guys killed in
the line of duty.

Ed. note: Trooper Robert
Lombardo talked with Jack
Smiles of the Sunday Dispatch
when Trooper Joshua Miller
was named Greater Pittston
Person of the Year for 2009.
This is part of the story Smiles
wrote.
Trooper Joshua Miller, a
Pittston Area Patriot in the
graduating class of 92, was
just a week shy of his 35th
birthdaywhenhe was killedon
Sunday night, June 7, 2009, in
the gun fight after a 40-mile,
high-speed chase after Daniel
Autenrieth, whowieldeda gun
and kidnapped his own 9-year-
old son during a custody ex-
change at the boys home in
Nazareth setting off the wild
pursuit along Pocono high-
ways and through the streets of
Stroudsburg at speeds up to
100 miles-per-hour.
Trooper Robert Lombardo
was driving one of the lead
cars inthe chase. I sawthe kid
in car, he said. He was belted
in the front seat. I sawhimcry-
ing. I almost had him in
Stroudsburg. He sideswiped a
couple cars and went down a
side street. He was headed for
where Josh was.
The chased ended when Au-
tenrieth crashed his car on
Route 611 in Coolbaugh
Township. Troopers Miller
and Lombardo, assessing that
the boy was in danger, made
the decision to approach the
car. We made the decision be-
cause a nine-year-old boy
couldnt.
As Millerand Lombardo ap-
proached the driver side, Au-

YOUR OPI NI ON
The Feb. 17 editorial, Cyber schools and charter
schools hurt local districts, presents mispercep-
tions on public charter schools in Pennsylvania.
Charter schools are public schools, not private
schools.
On average in Pennsylvania, school districts
payonly70percent of what the taxpayer pays tothe
district tothe charter school. The district retains the
rest. Charter schools are already delivering effec-
tive educationfor 30percent less thantaxpayers are
paying.
While school districts may opt to have virtual
programs, these are simply programs and not all-
encompassing schools. There are significant and
fundamental differences. Forcingstudents toattend
cyber charter programs does nothingfor those chil-
dren who are trying to learn more effectively by
leaving a systemthat is not meeting their needs.
The more than150,000 children in this state who
are in, or on waiting lists to get into a charter school
are a testament to problems that parents perceive in
their traditional publicschoolsandtheydont have
the luxury of time to wait for improvements. If any
school district wants to kill charter schools, they
need to do only two things listen and change. Lis-
tentothe parents tounderstandwhytheyare choos-
ing charter schools, and then change to address
those concerns. Unfortunately for the children of
Pennsylvania, many districts are not good at either.

The Pittston Area cheerleaders extend a heartfelt
thank you to everyone who helped us realize our
dream of competing in the UCA High School
CheerleadingNationals inFlorida onFeb. 9and10.
We thank our families and friends, fellow stu-
dents, teachers, school board, Mr. Haas, Mr. Savo-
kinas, Mr. Turco and all the businesses and spon-
sors that supported our fund raiser. We also extend
thanks to the entire community who supported us
by coming out to watch our performances, partici-
pate in our fundraisers and encourage us.
2012-13 Pittston Area Cheerleaders
PA cheerleaders have many to thank
someone, so we would like to mention some of the
acts of kindness that occurred that day.
We would like to thank all the firefighters who
responded that day from Exeter to Old Forge and
all stations in between. Their tireless efforts, al-
though sadly, could not save our home, they were
able to save the homes of our neighbors. We
watched as they risked their lives to contain the fire
and these are images that will not be forgotten.
From searching a burned out home for a boys
guitar to holding a fellow firefighter by his ankles
to save a pet cat from the basement and to coming
back a day later to retrieve the body of another pet
cat who did not survive - these are the efforts of
firefighters we feel went above the call of duty that
day.
Next we would like to thank Red Cross person-
nelwho were with us at every step that day and well
into the evening. They tended not only to our phys-
ical but also our emotional needs. They were there
with food, medical needs, guidance and hugs.
These angels helped us with immediate financial
assistance as well as one volunteer offering her
sweater off her back. Someone even took a hat off
their head. That has now become the first hat in a
replacement hat collection. They used Red Cross
blankets to wrap cold feet and a scared cat.
Lastly, we send a big thank you to a neighbor-
hood that opened their homes and hearts to us that
day. To the Granteeds who opened their business to
us which became home base for us, the Red Cross
and the firefighters, to the Goreys who opened
their home to our family and to Father Tom and
Sister MaryAnn from Our Lady of the Eucharist
who came that day and the next to offer comfort
and support.
To all the neighbors too numerous to mention
who were there for us that day, we say thank you.
These amazing acts of kindness range from a
young girl who came with coats and water for ev-
eryone and waited for a scared boy to come from
school so she could give him a hug and reassuring
smile to a kind neighbor who went home to find
boots to warm cold feet and all the hugs and tears
that occurred in between. Words are not enough to
express our deep appreciation for all of these
things.
What we saw and experienced not only that day
but all the days that followed were acts of true kind-
ness that rose from the ashes of a familys tragedy.
Thank you, all.

writing. The 28 children each
had their own topic to research
and chose an appropriate audi-
ence to try to persuade. With the
friendly letter format and includ-
ing a hook to grab their readers
attention and the use of BAM
words which are used to spice
up their writing, the children
wrote about manyreasons toper-
suade the reader.
Kindergarten Center
Its Chinese New Year in Mrs.
Kristine Klems room107.
In the week leading up to Chi-
nese New Year on Feb. 10, stu-
dents in Mrs. Klems room
learned all about the Chinese
New Year traditions. They
learned that the Chinese people
believe that the colors red and
gold are both colors of good luck
and good fortune. They also
learned that they believe dragons
are kind, helpful and lucky as
well.
The students listened to a non-
fiction book called Chinese
New Year written by Saviour
Pirotta. Students saw pictures of
Chinese people wearing the
lucky colors red and gold. They
also saw pictures of a Chinese
New Year parade with the tradi-
tional Dragon Dance.
Mrs. Klem was able to teach
the students about the Chinese
calendar and how each year is
represented by an animal. Ac-
cording to the Chinese calendar,
2013 is the year of the snake.

Mia Hopkins didnt score in
the first half andscoredonlyfour
in the game.
That may sound like a formula
for a Pittston Area loss, but Hop-
kins contributed in every other
possible way and Allie Barber
and Liz Waleski picked up the
scoring slack, as the Lady Patri-
ots defeated Nanticoke 39-26 in
a District 2 3A quarterfinal at
Wyoming Area Saturday after-
noon.
PA, the 5th seed, advances to
play the winner of no. 1Scranton
Prep and no. 16 Lake Lehman
who played yesterday at Scran-
ton. That game will be Wednes-
day at a site to be announced.
Barber, a speedy sophomore,
slashed to the basket repeatedly
for PA and scored a game-high
17. She might have had more, but
several shots rattled out. She
made five of nine free throws.
Waleski scored10 and Allie Bra-
dy, 6, in a game with more whis-
tles, steals and turnovers than
baskets.
The teams combined for only
eight baskets from the field and
25 points in the first half, with
PA leading 15-10.
The shooting was cold, but the
defense was hot. Barber, with
seemingly limitless energy,
hounded her Nanticoke counter-
part Alex Brassington on the pe-
rimeter.
Nanticokes BrittanySugarski,
with help from Kaley Schinski,
limitedHopkins shots, but Hop-
kins rebounded, blocked shots,
saved balls and assisted.
Eastin Ashby scored one
point, but she played the whole
game and quietly pitched in on
the Patriots tight defense.
Hopkins fed Brady with a no-
look pass under the basket that
put PAup12, 31-19 with 5:12 left
in the game. Waleski pushed the
lead to 14 with 2:25 left with a
baseline jumper and Barber but
it out of reach, 38-23, with 1:47
left with a lay up and free throw.
Sugarski and Schinski each
scored six to lead the Nanticoke
scoring.
PA 65, WA 40
The Lady Patriots got to Sat-
urdays game by beating Wyom-
ing Area, 65 40 in a first round
game on Wednesday on the PA
floor.
There was no hangover from
their previous game when they
had a hard time getting the ball
up the floor in a loss to Dallas in
the WVC championship game.
Against WAthey pushed the ball
up court fromthe tip with Jackie
Rabender and Allie Barber scor-
ingthree quickbaskets tomake it
6-0. WAsenior guard Serra Deg-
nan, who would score 15 in her
final game, slowed things down
by hitting two free throws to
make it 6-2 at 6:14 of the first.
But it would be over five minutes
before WAscored again on a Ni-
cole Turner jump shot to stop an
8-0 PA run and make it 14-4with
1:10 left in the first.
The PA run included a couple
of highlight reel baskets, one by
Hopkins, who beat a triple-team
in the paint, and another by Ra-
bender who drove the baseline
for a reverse lay up.
Hopkins scored on consecu-
tive possessions to start the sec-
ond. The Patriots threatened to
go up by 20 when Ali Brady hit a
3-pointer at 5:10 to make it 26-7,
but WA went on an 8-2 run to
trim the lead to 13, 28-15 on a 3-
pointer by Degnan with 2:15 left.
On the next possession WA had
three shots to cut the lead to 11,
but missed.
PAended the quarter with Wa-
leski passing to Hopkins in the
paint. WA collapsed on her and
she passed it back to Waleski
who hit a jumper to end the half
30-16.
Waleski startedthe thirdwitha
3-pointer off the inbound to
make it 33-16. Degnan drove for
a lay up to make it 33-18, but PA
went on a run to put the game out
reach, pushing the lead over 20,
41-20 at 5:53 on two free throws
by Barber.
Hopkins had seven assists and
told the Times Leader after the
game that was her favorite thing
to do.
It showed on a flurry half way
through the third when she
passed to Rabender for two on
the baseline. Rabender was
fouled, missed the shot and Hop-
kins got the rebound and passed
to Brady for two more.
Great atmosphere for a
bonus rivalry game. The bleach-
ers were three-quarters full and
dueling student cheer sections
faced off against each other on
the far end of the gym.
Hopkins got her 1,000th re-
bound making her the only play-
er in the programs history to
have both 1,000 points and re-
bounds.
She scored 23, going 13-16
shooting free throws. Waleski
had 10, Rabender, eight; Brady,
seven and Ashby, six.
Degnan led WAwith15; Abby
Thornton had seven, hitting
three jumpers fromthe wing. Ni-
cole Wright and Audrey Hieda-
cavage each scored four.
The only negative for PA was
fouling. Hopkins had her third
before the second quarter was
half done andthe teamput WAin
the bonus with three minutes left
in the half.
The Warriors finished 8-14.

Mason Gross never looked at
the clock or even the basket.
Gross did not have time to see
the clock. He did not have the
need to look for the basket.
With a feel for where he was,
ingrained from a practice drill,
Gross flipped up a blind over-
head shot with his back to the
basket.
The ball bounced off the back-
board and through the net as the
buzzer sounded Tuesday night,
touching off a celebration in the
Pittston Area gymnasiumand al-
lowing the Patriots to avoid an
upset with a 46-44 victory over
Coughlin in the first round of the
District 2 Class AAA boys bas-
ketball playoffs.
Fortunately Mason Gross
was tough enough to come up
with that rebound at the end,
Pittston Area coach Alan Kies-
inger said. When he released it,
I knew it was in. He has a tre-
mendous touch around the bas-
ket.
"If he stops and looks, theres
no time.
The clutchbasket allowedPitt-
ston Area to advance into Fri-
days quarterfinals where it was
eliminated by Scranton Prep.
To get to that point, the Patri-
ots needed to work their way
back from five down in the
fourth quarter.
James Tobisch gave Pittston
Area its first lead of the fourth
quarter andonlyits secondlead
of the secondhalf whenhe con-
verted his second three-point
play of the final 4:07.
Coughlin immediately tied the
game on two free throws by Nate
Oliver.
The Patriots then held the ball
for the final 1:19, through four
timeouts, the last of which came
with 4.4 seconds left, to take a
shot at the winning basket.
Gross praised Tobisch, who
had14 of his 22 points in the sec-
ond half, for the courage to make
a strong move to the basket.
When Tobischsattempt rolled
out, Gross had just enough time
to pull off the winning shot.
I told the guards they did a
great job of holding the ball up
on top and taking care of it,
Gross said. We could have
thrown it away at any time.
And our coaches did a great
job using the timeouts, getting us
the last shot.
A game the Patriots once ap-
peared ready to run away with
turned into a second straight bat-
tle with the Crusaders, who had
struggled all season until upset-
ting Pittston Area in the final
game of the regular season.
Pittston Area took a 9-0 lead in
the first 3:10 by hitting four of its
first six shots.
Coughlin did not score for the
first 6:30 or hit a field goal for
7:07. The Crusaders missedtheir
first 14 shots, failing to convert
seven offensive rebounds and
blowing an open layup.
Then, they could not miss.
Just 35 seconds into the sec-
ond quarter, Coughlin was in
front, 10-9, after hitting three 3-
pointers in 1:28, including Con-
ner Flahertys half-court shot at
the first-quarter buzzer.
Oliver, who finished with 22
points, hadthe other two3-point-
ers in that streak. He then scored
six points in 26 seconds on a 25-
foot bomb and a three-point play
for an18-14 lead with 4:37 left in
the second quarter.
Coughlin only trailed for 2:17
of the final 22:37, but the inside
combination of Tobisch and
Gross made sure the Patriots
never backed down.
That was basically the game
plan, Tobisch said. At half-
time, we had shot 75 percent
from the lane.
The lane worked tonight.
Tobisch also had eight re-
bounds. Gross had seven re-
bounds and five assists.
Scranton Prep 57
Pittston Area 24
Scranton Prep ended Pittston
Areas season three nights later,
holding the Patriots to just seven
points for a19-minute stretchun-
til the games final minute during
a 57-24 quarterfinal rout at
Scranton High School.
Their talent from top to bot-
tom is unbelievable, Pittston
Area coach Alan Kiesinger said.
The Cavaliers took away the
inside game and the Patriots
struggled through a horrific
shooting night.
Pittston Area finished 9-
for-27 (33.3 percent). They
made just one of 11 attempts (9.1
percent) from3-point range, that
one coming when Michael Dela-
ney connected with 50 seconds
left to end the lengthy scoring
drought. They even made just
three of 13 foul shots (23.1 per-
cent).
Mentally, its taxing on you,
Kiesinger said. When you cant
make a bucket, you try harder.
Trying harder is not always the
answer when it comes to shoot-
ing.
Matt Knowles, who had 12 of
his14 points in the first half, hit a
3-pointer 25 seconds into the
game and Scranton Prep led the
rest of the way.
Gross and Tobisch worked in-
side for baskets, sending Pittston
Area into the second-quarter tel-
evision timeout trailing just 18-
12 with 3:53 left in the half.
The Patriots managed just one
more point the rest of the half,
two in the third and four for the
first seven-plus minutes of the
fourth.
By then, the Cavaliers had a
55-19 lead and a trip to Tuesday
nights semifinals locked up.
Thats a good effort against
anybody at this level, Scranton
Prep coach Joe Ferguson said. I
thought the kids played hard and
they played together.
Knowles hit another 3-pointer
to end the half, giving Scranton
Prep a 25-13 lead.
James Fives, whoalsograbbed
eight rebounds, then scored13 of
his19 points in the second half as
the Cavaliers ran away.
I thought they did a nice job
in the second half taking Mason
Gross away, Kiesinger said.
Gross had six points, all in the
first half, along with nine re-
bounds and three blocked shots
for the Patriots.
Tobisch also had six points
while Michael Schwab had six
rebounds and three assists.
Pittston Area finished 13-11.
Crestwood 65,
Wyoming Area 48
Third-seeded Crestwood end-
ed Wyoming Areas season
Tuesday with a 65-48, home-
court victory in the first round of
the Class AAA playoffs.
Jordan Zezza hit three 3-point-
ers while scoring 19 in the loss.
Mike Carey made two 3-pointers
and added 16.
Crestwood was led by Chris
Fazzini with 19 points and Steve
Roberts with 15.
Wyoming Area finished the
season 3-20.

WHAT TO DO WHENA
FAMILY MEMBER DIES
A client, who is also my close
friend, called this week to inform
me that his mother had died.
Confused by grief, he was under
the impression that he had to call
a lawyer to check the contents of
his mothers safe deposit box to
retrieve her life insurance policy.
I advised him to wait until several
days after the funeral, when he
should then call me to begin the
administration of the estate. I
explained that the funeral director
didnt expect payment immediately,
and that there would be enough
time for us to liquidate moms
assets and pay all of her bills.
What should you do when a
family member dies? Take time to
grieve. Then, once things slowly
begin to fall back into place, call
your attorney and let him or her
worry about the legal details. Your
time should be devoted to more
important matters, such as pulling
things back together for you and
your family.
Ive been helping families
administer estates since 1982, and
Id be glad to be of service to yours.

Joseph E. Barush, 87, a resi-
dent of West Wyoming, passed
away peacefully surrounded by
his loving family on Saturday
evening, Feb. 16, 2013, at his res-
idence.
His loving wife is Madeleine
(Vanyo) Barush. Together, Joe
and Madeleine celebrated their
62nd wedding anniversary on
Aug. 26, 2012.
Born on Nov. 7, 1925 in
Wilkes-Barre, Joseph was one
of five children born to the late
John and Frances (Nowinski)
Barush.
Raised in Wilkes-Barre, Joe
was a graduate of E.L. Meyers
High School, Wilkes-Barre. A
U.S. Navy veteran, Joe honor-
ably served his country during
World War II from1944 to 1947.
Upon his honorable discharge
from active service, Joe had at-
tained the rank of Seaman 2nd
Class.
Prior to his retirement in1985,
Joe was employed for many
years as a mail handler for the
U.S. Postal Service.
A man of faith, Joe was a
longtime member of the former
Holy Trinity Church, Swoyers-
ville. After the consolidation of
his church this past June, Joe be-
came a member of St. Elizabeth
Ann Seton Parish, Swoyersville.
Active within his church, Joe
always gave freely of his time in
support of his parishs various
activities. Most notably, Joe and
his wife, Madeleine, were ac-
tively involved in both preparing
for and participating in their par-
ishs annual bazaar.
Joe was actively involved in
the West Wyoming community.
For 45 years, Joe was a mem-
ber of the West Wyoming Hose

past fire chief and in various
other capacities throughout the
years. Additionally, he was a
member of the West Wyoming
Ambulance Association and
served as treasurer of the Lu-
zerne County Fire and Rescue
for 50 years.
Joe was also active with the
West Wyoming Little League
and had the pleasure of coaching
a championship team.
An avid gardener, Joe took
great enjoyment in working in
his vegetable garden fromspring
until fall. Also, he was an avid
sports enthusiast and was a great
fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers,
the New York Yankees and the
Miami Heat.
One of Joes greatest enjoy-
ments in life was spending time
with his grandsons. He was very
proud to watch them participate
in their many activities in
school, especially their sporting
events, where he was a regular
spectator at every event near and
far.
For many years, Joe and Ma-
deleine enjoyed their annual
trips to Florida, where they
would spend the winter months.
Joe will fondly be remem-
bered as a loving and devoted
husband, father, grandfather,
brother, uncle and friend. His

Happy Birthday
In Heaven, My Love
A Letter from Heaven
When tomorrow starts without me,
and Im not here to see,
If the sun should rise and nd your
eyes, lled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldnt cry,
the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
we didnt get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much I love you,
And each time you think of me,
I know youll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me,
dont think were far apart,
for every time you think of me,
Im right there in your heart
Your Loving Family,
Harriet, Children & Grandchildren

Hugh Paul Walsh, retired
teacher, coach and athletic di-
rector, 73, of Old Bridge, N.J.,
passed away peacefully at
home on Friday, Feb. 15, 2013,
surrounded by his loving fam-
ily.
Hugh Walsh, son of Joseph
and Margaret (nee McHugh)
Walsh, was born in Dunmore,
on April 17, 1939. One of sev-
en children, he was raised in
West Pittston.
He graduated from Pittston
Central Catholic High School
in 1956, where he was a three-
sport all-star in football, bas-
ketball and baseball.
He was inducted into Pitt-
ston Catholics Hall of Fame in
2002.
Hugh later attended St. Fran-
cis Prep School in Spring
Grove, Pa., before enrolling in
Kings College in 1957, where
he was a member of the in-
tercollegiate football team.
After graduating from Kings
in 1961, his love of sports, and
his parents respect for teach-
ers, drove him to accept John
F. Kennedys call to public ser-
vice, and he pursued a career
as a teacher/coach.
He returned to St. Francis
Prep to teach English and
coach football (assistant), bas-
ketball and baseball.
Hugh also served his coun-
try as a member of the Marine
Corps Reserve for seven years.
In 1964, Hugh accepted a
job at South River High
School, where he taught En-
glish and coached football and
baseball for 10 years.
In September 1974, Hugh
was named the first athletic
director and football coach at
Monroe Township High
School.
During his tenure, Hugh was
one of the founders of the
Greater Middlesex Conference
and served as a vice president
to the executive committee for
eight years.
He was awarded the 1987
and 1997 Greater Middlesex
Conference Athletic Director
of the Year. Hugh Walsh re-
tired from Monroe Township
in 1997.
In honor of his passion and
dedication, Monroe Township
High School dedicated its foot-
ball field as Hugh P. Walsh
stadium.
Hughs greatest joy was his
family.
In 1966, Hugh married the
love of his life, Susan (one of
nine children). Together they
had three children and united
two large families.
Hugh was preceded in death
by his parents, Joseph and
Margaret Walsh, and his broth-
er Jack Walsh.
Hugh is survived by his wife
of 46 years, Susan (nee Far-
rell); sons, Joseph Walsh of
Asbury Park, N.J.; Edward
Walsh and his wife, Kerri, of
Fanwood, N.J.; daughter, Susan
Walsh of Tinton Falls, and
grandchildren ,Ty Viola and
Jennifer Walsh. He is also sur-
vived by brothers Robert and
his wife, Patricia, of Spotsyl-
vania, Va.; Bernard, of Dow-
ningtown, Pa.; Joseph and his
wife, Deborah, of West Pitt-
ston; sisters, Mary Sanders of
Newtown, Pa., and Margaret
Smith of Downingtown, Pa.. as
well as his sister- and brothers-

and nephews.

SUNDAY DISPATCH SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2013 PAGE 1B

Question #1:
On February 22, 1965,
what did the Sunday Dis-
patch find curious about
the buildings and streets in
Pittston?
1955 58 years ago
The razing of Delaware & Hudson Sta-
tion on Cork Lane in Pittston Township
ended rail service in that area. A rail station
had been in operation either on Cork or on
neighboring sites for 125 years, but the
company felt the station no longer had a
part in its operation plan. According to
American-rails.com, The Delaware and
Hudson Railway, the countrys oldest still-
surviving transportation company, has been
in operation for three centuries. The rail-
road was purchased by the Canadian Pacif-
ic and no longer operates as an independent
company but it continues to carry its origi-
nal name on paper. Log on to the website
to read an extensive history of the compa-
ny.
Four Hundred dinners were served at the
Gilmartin Park Playground Association
annual spaghetti dinner at the American
Legion Home in West Pittston. The Sunday
Dispatch reporter asked how much spa-
ghetti was consumed in terms of mileage.
Nick Vitale, along with many other volun-
teers, knew that attendees consumed over
100 pounds of spaghetti. They figured by
weighing an ounce of spaghetti, counting
the strands, multiplying by 16 to get the
strands per pound and changing that to
miles they discovered that the patrons of
the event consumed 18.7 miles of spaghetti
and five meatballs per mile.
The borough of Dupont furnished com-
petition for television viewing by reopen-
ing the Lincoln Theater. The theatre,
which had been closed for months, was the
property of the Nardone family. Manager
Joseph Chesniak, of Dupont, announced
The Last Time I Saw Paris, starring El-
izabeth Taylor and Van Johnson would be
shown at the opening.
Luchetti Auto Sales in Pittston adver-
tised the new Nash Ambassador with five-
way airliner reclining seats. The innovative
seats could configure into a chaise lounge,
day bed or full bed at night. Window
screens could be provided by special order.
According to one car collectors website,
The auto was not popular with fathers of
dating-age daughters.
1965 48 years ago
Hubert and Anthony Faltyn, brothers
from Exeter, fought in the Battle of Iwo
Jima and, although at times only 400 yards
apart, neither knew of the others presence
until the battle ended. Hubert, a lieutenant
colonel in the Marine Corps Reserves, was
decorated for bravery for his part in the
battle and received a battlefield commis-
sion. He was a sergeant when all the offi-
cers in his company were killed. Even
though wounded, Hubert a member of the
famed Carlsons Raiders, took command,
leading the men in an advance against the
Japanese entrenched in caves and pillbox-
es and was awarded the Navy Cross. In
the book, The Battle for Iwo Jima, author
Robert Leckie writes, It became the great-
est battle fought by the U.S. Marine Corps
in World War II. From it came the most
famous image of the war, the raising of the
flag on Mount Suribachi. When it ended a
month later, the Marines had suffered
20,000 casualties - almost 5,000 men killed
in action. And an astonishing 26 Marines
were awarded Americas highest decoration
for valor, the Medal of Honor.

n the late 19th and early 20th centuries, visitors and deliverymen stopping at homes in the Greater Pittston area
alighted from their carriages onto stepping stones and tied their horses to hitching posts with a highwaymans
knot. Today, more than 20 hitching posts and several stepping stones - having survived road widening and
paving, sidewalk construction, sewer installation and, in some cases, floods - are still standing.
Originally, most hitching
posts were made of wood - ei-
ther a turned piece made into a
decorative post or a simple
piece of lumber - with a rail or
ring for the horses reins.
Others were made of
wrought iron by local black-
smiths or of concrete form
poured over an iron rod. Later,
cast iron was used and that al-
lowed for decorative features
such as horse heads.
Many of the surviving posts,
estimated to be 150 or more
years old, can be found in
Wyoming and West Pittston.
Two stone posts survive in a
most unlikely spot and are
passed by thousands of motori-
sts everyday in front of Kelly
Auto Parts at Eighth Street cor-
ners in Wyoming.
Unlike the other surviving
posts, which are on tree lawns,
the posts infront of Kellys stick
out of a concrete sidewalk.
Mike Kelly said about 10 years
ago when a new sidewalk was
poured, the posts were pulled
out and then reinstalled after
the sidewalk cured. Pulling the
posts out was a feat, as they
were two feet into the ground.
The Kelly building, original-
ly the Wyoming Hotel, was
built in the 1890s and legend
has it Jesse James once spent a
night there. Kelly said his fa-
ther, who is in Florida, has a
photograph of the hotel when it
was three stories and the hitch-
ing posts can be clearly seen.
There are seven posts, in-
cluding Kellys pair, in a two-
block area between Sixth and
Eighth Streets in Wyoming.
The only home found with two
hitching posts is at the corner
Seventh and Monument in
Wyoming, where there is a post
on each street.
Its not clear why so many
posts survived in a concentrat-
ed area, though Tom Weiss,
proprietor of an antique store in
another historic Wyoming
building - Townsend and Sons
at the corner of Seventh Street
and Wyoming Avenue - has a
theory. Weiss, who has bought
and sold hitching posts in the
past, said its likely the posts are
original to the houses where
they stand.
He may be on to something.
The surviving posts are all as-
sociated with homes a century
or more old.

Charlie Trippi, former
college All American, All Pro
and member of the Profes-
sional Football Hall of Fame,
came to Pittston to attend the
second annual Hughestown
Sports Club Banquet. Trippi
was on hand to present the
Most Outstanding High
School Football Running
Back Trophy to Mickey Dud-
ish from Meyers High School.
Born in Pittston on Dec. 14,
1920, Trippi, a University of
Georgia halfback, was widely
considered the finest athlete
in Bulldog football history.
Alabama coach Paul Bear
Bryant said Trippi was the
greatest college football play-
er ever. Trippi was also a star
in professional football and
college baseball and, after
college, played professionally
as a running back with the
Chicago Cardinals for nine
seasons.
Members of the Wyoming
Area golf team were league

ing players Rich Donlavage,
John Petroski, Bill Briggs,
Joe Angelella, John LaNun-
ziata, Jim Cella and Joe
Rubico and their hard work in
obtaining the goal. Satkowski
pointed out many of the WA
golfers play year around,
which proved their dedication
to the sport.
A Pittston Area heavy-
weight wrestling bout turned

moments in the schools histo-
ry. Fans wildly cheered as 196
lb. PAs Bob Sylvester posted
an 8-1 decision over Nanti-

Question #2
On February 24, 1985 a
headline in the Sunday Dis-
patch informed Greater Pitt-
ston residents that something
was infecting the area, what
was it?
Answer #1:
After observing George
Washingtons birthday in Feb-
ruary 1965, in the Ramblin
Round Our Town column
Sunday Dispatch Editor Bill
Watson found it curious that
Pittston City founding fathers
had not named any school
buildings or streets after the
first American president.
There were school buildings
named after Lincoln, Jef-
ferson, Garfield, Cleveland
and Jackson. West Pittstons
Washington School building
had been razed, although the
borough, as well as Yatesville
and Wyoming, did have
streets named after Washing-
ton.
Answer #2
A headline in the Sunday
Dispatch on Feb. 24, 1985
informed residents that Spring
Fever was infecting the area.
With a high of 75 degrees
posted on the Wyoming Na-
tional Bank in Exeter, people
strolled the streets in t- shirts
and shorts. The high temper-
ature broke a record of 67 set
in 1922.

Its Chinese New Year in Mrs. Kristine
Klems kindergarten class at the Pittston Ar-
ea Elementary Center.
In the week leading up to Chinese New
Year, students learned all about the Chinese
New Year traditions. They learned that the
Chinese people believe the colors red and
gold signify good luck and good fortune.
They also learned that the Chinese people
believe dragons are kind, helpful and lucky
as well.
The students listened to a non-fiction
book called Chinese New Year written by
Saviour Pirotta. Students were able to see
photographs of the traditions they learned
about. The saw pictures of Chinese people
wearing the lucky colors red and gold. They
also sawpictures of a Chinese NewYear pa-
rade with the traditional Dragon Dance.
Mrs. Klem was able to teach the students
about the Chinese calendar and how each
year is represented by an animal. According
to the Chinese calendar, 2013 is the year of
the snake.
Mrs. Klem used the SMART board to
show the students the snake symbol. They
then had to move the mixed-up letters of the
word snake to spell it correctly. The slowly
sounded each letter and put the letters in the
correct order.
Throughout the week, the students made
Chinese lanterns, crowns and dragon pup-
pets.

taking first place.
In addition to winning the district com-
petition, three team members received
awards based on their performance in the
courtroom.
Junior Salvadore Diaz, of Avoca
was a recipient of a Best Witness

tion, opening and closing argu-
ments, direct and cross examin-
ation, poise and articulation, con-
trol of facts, and knowledge of
Mock Trial rules of law and excep-
tions.
Competitions involve two oppos-
ing high school teams who apply re-
al-life statutes and case law to ficti-
tious situations in a simulated trial
setting.

One of two hitching posts in
front of Kelly's Auto Parts at
Eighth Street and Wyoming
Avenue in Wyoming.
Wyoming Ave, which is hidden
in a hedge, and on the tree lawns
at 691 and 765 Wyoming Ave.
are linked to 100-plus year-old
homes.
Mary Radzwilka said her
house on East Sixth Street in
Wyoming was built in 1893 and
she assumes her iron post was
original to the home. She knows
it was there in1900 when her fa-
ther bought the house because
she remembers him talking
about it.
People want tobuyit, Radz-
wilka said of the post. Once in
while, somebody will knock on
the door and ask if its for sale. I
always say, no, it belongs with
the house; its part of the de-
cor.
Ann Reilly believes the post
in front of her home at 606 Sus-
quehanna Ave. in West Pittston
is original to the home which
was built in 1904 by Thomas
Muirhead, a mine equipment
merchant who owned a stable.
The garage was formally a car-
riage house, Reilly said. He
kept the horses on Sax Street.
George Evans, who ran a dry
goods store, bought the house in
1911. It was the Evans family
homestead until Reilly and her
husband Tom bought it 16 years
ago.
Ahouse sporting a post at 502
Susquehanna Ave. in West Pitt-
ston was built in 1889, accord-
ing to a plaque on the home.
At 608 Susquehanna Ave. in
West Pittston, at the Y of York
and Susquehanna Avenues, a
remnant concrete post stands
next to a stepping stone en-
graved, as was the custom, with
initials of the original owner,
N.G.P. The original owner
was Nathaniel Park, a pastor at
the First Presbyterian Church in
Pittston.
Owner Marc Minichello said
he was told the house was built
as early as 1855. It may have
been because records at the Lu-
zerne County Recorder of
Deeds office indicate it was
built prior to 1875.
Another stone can be found at
the Hughes mansion on Mont-
gomery Avenue in West Pitt-
ston, now owned by Mike Pu-
gliese. The home was built in
1898. Hughes was a partner in
the Glennon Brewery.
A pair of posts are neighbors
at 106 and 104 Washington St.,
West Pittston. The home at 106
was built in 1870. The house at
104 is a year older, according to
owner Sam Bellanco.
Bellanco also has a stepping
stone engraved with the initials
F.W.S for the original owner,
though the name is not known.
Bellanco said the stone is like
the tip of an iceberg. Its a foot
high, but 1 1/2 feet into the
ground, as he learned after the
2011 flood. There was debris
from the ood on it and the
clean-up crew didnt know it
was under there. The backhoe
operator lifted it out with back-
hoe; you can see the scratches
on it. They put it back in. It
probably survived because of
the shear size of it.
Bellanco said, while more
posts and stones may have
been expected to survive, he
thinks posts and stones were
probably removed when older
homes were replaced with
newer ones and the new home-
owners thought they were in
the way.
Bellanco said the flood un-
covered evidence of the age of
his home. Damaged by the
flood, a carpet and subfloor in
two of the rooms on his first
floor were removed, revealing a
hardwood floor. The carpenter
who refinished the hardwood
told him the wood alone, which
could be found only as architec-
tural salvage today, is worth
$20,000.

Hitching posts are less
common on the East Side
of the Greater Pittston
community. There is a
large one at the corner of
North Main and Parsonage
Streets in Pittston, which
has seen better days. A
close look at it reveals a
hole where the ring for the
reins was mounted.
There is also a post at
1323 S. Main St., Pittston.
A hitching post on Main
Street in Avoca has been a
topic of interest for years.
Just south of the Duryea
border, the post somehow
managed to survive on a
tight corner on a narrow
tree lawn along a narrow
sidewalk.
The post was the topic of
a story in the Sunday Dis-
patch in 1963.
From that story under a
photo of the post: Avocans
seeking a peek into the past
of their community need go
only a short distance for a
reminder of the horse-and-
buggy life that existed 50
years ago. This concrete
hitching post on North
Main Street, only a few
yards from the Duryea line
provided a curbside tether-
ing place for Dobbin when
moist families runabouts
were never powered by
more than two horsepower.
