My college students never
stop surprising me and last
week was no exception.
In last Sundays column I
mentioned a few of those who
graduated this year with jour-
nalism degrees and each sent an
email to say they were honored.
No surprise there.
They had read the piece on
the Dispatch website and that
was no surprise, either.
But each asked if they could
get an actual clipping from the
newspaper and that floored me.
These kids, all around 20
years old, are right smack in the
middle of a demographic that
experts say have no interested
in a printed newspaper. That
these young people accessed
the Dispatch online bears it out.
But still they want the printed
version.
Why? Good question. Print-
ing it from the website on a
laser printer each could do
quite easily and probably did.
I have a theory about why
that is not good enough. None
of them actually said this, but I
suspect the reason they want
the clipping is that they still
have a sense that the printed
version, the one that will get
your fingers a little smudged
when you read it, is the real
version. An online newspaper is
one thing, but the one that lands
on your doorstep or is displayed
on a rack at the convenience
store is quite another.
Which probably sounds like I
am about to defend the printed
newspaper. And I am.
I am, knowing full well the
experts will laugh and once
again call me, and guys like
me, a dinosaur, a creature
whose time has come and gone
but does not know it, or more
likely just wont accept it.
By the way, if you are hold-
ing this newspaper in your
hands right now and not read-
ing it on a computer screen, the
experts call you a dinosaur too.
To them youre the past not the
future. They know what theyre
talking about, too. And they
have the figures to prove it.
How they account for the
students in search of the clip-
pings, I have no idea.
Nor do I know how they
account for a few others Ive
encountered lately.
For starters, take the guy
who, in a very nice way mind
you, took me to task a few
weeks ago for our lack of photo
coverage on the Pittston Area
track team.
This guy works in the com-
puter industry and has every
modern toy you can think of.
And hes used his toys to docu-
ment the achievements of his
son, who is so talented in track
he won a couple of district gold
medals this year.
The guy showed me a few
still photos and even a video on
his iPhone and then flipped
open his iPad and brought up
the website he created for his
son. It was eye-popping. There
I viewed more photos and vid-
eos and got to read all of his
sons statistics.
It was incredible and ex-
tremely professional. What
more could a dad want?
Well, thats precisely what
this dad chided me about.
What this dad wants for his
son is something he got to have
when he was a young athlete.
He wants newspaper clippings.
He wants a scrapbook filled
with photos and articles from
the newspaper.
This guy is young enough to
be my son, but what he wants is
what we dinosaurs produce.
As demonstrated, he is quite
capable of producing digital
information on his own rather
impressive digital information.
But what he cant do is print a
newspaper. He needs us for
that.
For the record, we heard him
loud and clear and bumped up
our track and field coverage.
Then theres an email I re-
ceived just about a year ago
from a young mom who was
obviously computer literate.
She said she was originally
from Greater Pittston and dur-
ing a visit home took her little
tyke to the Northeast Fair
where a Sunday Dispatch pho-
tographer snapped a photo of
her son petting a goat.
She accessed our website
where she viewed the picture
and even ordered a print from
our online photo store. All of
this made her very happy. But
the reason for her email was
that she was hoping the photo
was still going to appear in the
Sunday Dispatch.
Again, the message was
clear: seeing it on a computer
screen and even owning a glos-
sy print isnt the same as seeing
it in the newspaper.
Yes, digital media is here to
stay. Yes, it is exciting and af-
fords a multitude of options for
presenting the news. And, yes,
the Dispatch will continue to
enhance its online product.
But with the dinosaur tag
acknowledged and even wel-
comed, I predict the printed
version of newspapers this
one, in particular will be
around for a long time to come.
To borrow from Mark Twain,
the news of our death has been
greatly exaggerated.

He took his ATV out recently
on the back hills of Duryea. And
flipped it.
Being a triple amputee doesnt
faze Bryan Anderson anymore.
Anderson, 31, was injured in
2005while servinginthe U.S.
Army in Iraq and lost both
legs and his left hand. He now
serves as a national spokes-
man for Quantum Rehab, a
division of Pride Mobility
Corp. based in Exeter, travel-
ing the country and talking to
anyone who will listen.
He spoke Wednesday night
at the Greater Pittston Cham-
ber of Commerces 92nd an-
niversary dinner meeting at
St. Anthonys Center in Exe-
ter.
During his 40-minute speech,
Anderson interjected humor and
salty language in telling the hor-
rific story of how he was hurt
and the inspiring tale of how he
recovered.
He was on his second tour in
Iraq and landed in Baghdad
combat style.
A typical plane landing
makes it very easy to get shot
down, Anderson explained. So
to land safely, we had to climb to
30,000 feet over the airport and
nosedive down, goingincircles.
That was the first step in his hor-
rible second tour.
After landingsafely, Anderson
asked a fellow soldier what con-
ditions were like in Iraq since he
hadleft eight months before. The
response was, Its really bad, re-
ally hairy.
Anderson soon found out how
hairy it was.
On the second tour, his unit
was assigned to train Iraqi police
officers.
We were teaching them how
to run a police station, howto pa-
trol, how to have humane jail
cells, how to handle weapons
and ammunition, he said. We
were holding their hands, basi-
cally.
It was during his first tour that
he learned about IEDs, impro-

vised explosive devices. They
were new, not muchbigger thana
Pepsi can and gave a little pop.
On his second tour, the devices
had become significantly more
deadly.
All of the sudden, this con-
cussion riddles through your
body, Anderson said of his first
encounter with an EID. Its the
most awesome power youve ev-
er felt. I cant thinkof anythingin
the United States that can give
you that feeling.
Several months into his tour,
there were 60 IEDs going off
each day in a 7-mile radius of
Baghdad.
The day he was hit
It was Oct. 23, 2005.
Thats the day that I got hit,
Anderson said.
He was behind the wheel of a
vehicle, headed to an Iraqi police
station with his unit.
I reached in my pocket and
grabbed a cigarette, he said. It
was almost as if me lighting the
cigarette triggered the explo-
sion.
The next thinghe knew, he saw
smoke and fire coming through
the door.
My friends pulled me out and
the air revived me.
Interstate Building
Materials was honored
Wednesday night with the
Greater Pittston Chamber
of Commerce Outstand-
ing Business Award.
The business on Laurel
Street in Pittston manu-
factures or sells win-
dows, siding, roofing,
doors, decking and rail-
ing and cabinets.
The award was present-
ed by William Joyce of
the Joyce Insurance
Group, last years winner.
Interstate Building
Materials builds only the
best products, Joyce
said. Not only 100 per-
cent made in America,
but 100 percent made in
Greater Pittston.
Joyce discussed the
four generations of the
Pupa family having a
hand in the business
throughout its existence.
Joe Pupa Sr. started the
company in 1938. He
passed the torch to his
son, Joseph Pupa Jr. and
Joseph Pupa III has head-
ed the company since
2000. Joe Pupa Sr.s
great-grandson is also
working in the business.
Four generations have
grown up in the business,
keeping the values stron-
ger than ever, Joyce
said.
He spoke of the Pupas
dedication to the Greater
Pittston area.
In the unlikely event a
customer should have a
problem, rest assured,
they will be around,
Joyce said. The corpora-
tion. The buildings. The

equipment are all here in the
greater Pittston area. Theyve
outlasted the Great Depression
and every recession since.
He said the Pupas have
reinvested their profits into
their products, facilities, ser-
vice and the Greater Pittston
community.
The Pupa family has done
so much for the Pittston area,
Joyce said.
The best window manu-
facturers may not be the big-
gest by name, but as we like
to call them, with their initials,
theyre the IBM of Pittston.
Interstate manufactures its
own vinyl and CompositWood
windows and distributes build-
ing materials, including Mastic
siding, Owens Corning roof-
ing, ThermaTru and Larson
doors, TimberTech railing and
composite decking, Wellborn
kitchen cabinetry and much
more.
In 1986, Interstate donated
vinyl windows used to restore
the pavilion at the Statue of
Liberty.
Ronald Montini, operations
manager at Interstate, accepted
the award on behalf of the
Pupa family.
Interstate takes a lot of
pride in being in Pittston and
Id like to thank everybody for
this, Montini said.

But he still had no idea of the
extent of his injuries.
All my crew looked like
theyd just seen a ghost.
As they waited for a medical
helicopter to arrive, Anderson
said the flies were buzzing
around his face, so he swatted
with his right hand.
He noticed a tip of his finger
was missing. Then he turned it
over and saw some shattered
bone and ligaments.
I looked at my friends and
Im like, thats gross, but theyre
not freaking out about that.
More flies buzzing around his
face.
And I went to go wipe it away
with my left hand and I went,
oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh.
He realized his hand was mis-
sing, but he sensed there was
something else.
I was like, yeah, that sucks,
but thats not going to make them
freak out like that.
And thats when he decided to
look down.
They tried to force my head
back down, but I saw what hap-
pened.
Both his legs were gone.
After some choice words, he
said, Oh crap, my moms going
to kill me.
As they waited for the helicop-
ter, he cracked a joke.
A friend of his later thanked
him for the comic relief. You
made me realize you were still in
there, that you werent just some
lifeless body.
Anderson was loaded onto a
chopper with an oxygen mask on
his face. ThenI felt comfortable
enough to pass out.
Hello, Mom
Anderson figured hed wake
up in a Baghdad emergency
room, but when he opened his
eyes, his mother was staring
down at him.
I was like Mommm. What
are you doing in Baghdad?
Honey, you had an accident.
He thought to himself, What
idiot brought my mom to Iraq?
This is not cool.
Mom, I know I had an acci-
dent, but what are youdoinghere
in Baghdad?
Then, Anderson said, she did
the mom thing.
Are you going to let me fin-
ish?
She explained to him it was
seven days later and he was at
Walter Reed National Military
Medical Center in Bethesda,
Md.
Awesome! I dont have to fly
back 17 hours all messed up like
this, Anderson recalled. I was
very happy about that fact.
Not only was his mother there.
His twin brother, his sister, his
aunts and uncles, his grandpar-
ents were all at Walter Reed.
From that moment it showed
me, regardless of what happens,
no matter where this takes me,
my family is going to be there,
he said. Thats the most impor-
tant thing.
Anderson received rehabilita-
tion at Walter Reed. As a result
of his injuries, he was awarded a
Purple Heart.
His story has received exten-
sive media coverage, including
two feature articles in Esquire
Magazine. He also appeared in
the HBO documentary, Alive
Day Memories: Home from
Iraq and in a CSI:NY epi-
sode. He appeared in the Golden
Globe Award-winning film,
The Wrestler and has ap-
peared on the daytime drama,
All My Children.
He travels the country making
numerous personal appearances
while delivering his message of
perseverance and determination.
Remembering it all
I was laying there, I didnt
know what was going to happen
next, he said. But I said I
wasnt going to put any limits on
myself. Im NOT going to tell
myself, I dont have a hand or
legs. Howare you going to know
if you dont try?
After Anderson breezed
through therapy, he became de-
pressed and took a trip to Las Ve-
gas.
Now that Im thinking about
it, I had fun. I lived in the mo-
ment and I didnt care what hap-
pened, he said. So now Im
back at Walter Reed and Im
thinking about this trip. Im
thinking about how I had fun. I
lived in the moment and that
caused me not to care about what
had happened. So now Im
thinking if you had fun and you
didnt care about what had hap-
pened, why dont you just have
fun all the time?
And thats when Anderson
started to see what he could and
couldnt do.
As it turns out, theres not a
lot I cant do, he said.
He snowboards, wakeboards,
rides a motorcycle.
I have an ATV, he said. I
flipped it in Duryea.
I look at the world as my own
personal Jungle Jim.

The city owns seven parks.
While that may sound like a sell-
ing point to prospective home-
owners or businesses considering
moving here, city manager Joe
Moskovitz said having that many
parks is really more of a burden
than an asset. Thats too many
parks for the city to maintain. We
could maintain two or three, not
seven. Neighborhood parks were
established in a bygone era. The
recreation environment has
changed and the neighborhoods
have changed.
Because of those changes the
parks are under-utilized and be-
cause of budget constraints they
poorly maintained.
Councilman Mike Lombardo
agreed. We dont have the pop-
ulation to support seven parks.
These parks were laid out when
thepopulationwas doubleor even
triple what it is now and people
just dont useneighborhoodparks
like they did in the past.
Both men agreed that a long-
term plan for parks would be to
turn them over to developers as
was done with Fleming Park
which is now part of the Stauffer
Pointe development.
But Moskovitz said that re-
quires steps. Youcant just doit,
Moskovitz said, Go from recre-
ation to private. You have to look
at deed restrictions and zoning is-
sues.
But if those issues could be re-
solved and a developer surfaced
the city would be happy to divest
itself of some of its parks.
In the meantime residents near
Sullivan Park on Hill Park Ave-
nue adjacent to the Little League
are looking for a short term solu-
tion to problems there. Sullivan
Park is described, including in a

Street closed by flooding? Sus-
pect considered dangerous on the
loose?
As possible police calls they are
twowildlydivergent problems, but
the closed road and the dangerous
suspect now have something in
common in Pittston a NIXLE
alert.
NIXLE is a free community in-
formation service that alerts sub-
scriberstopublicsafetythreatsand
community events via email and
cell phone text messages or both.
The Pittston City police depart-
ment has a NIXLE account set up
and is urging residents to sub-
scribe. Residents can sign up on
their own at www.nixle.com or
they can email Sgt. William
Knowles at
sgt.know-
les@ya-
hoo.com or call
654-2424 ext.
518 and leave
full name and
either their
email or cell
number or both
and he will take
care of registra-
tion requests.
Knowles said
subscriberswho
dont want todi-
vulge their cell numbers canregis-
ter their email addresses or receive
messages by logging on to their
nixle.comaccounts.
Theserviceisnot strictlyfor city
residents.
NIXLE delivers information to
geographically targeted areas. Lo-
cally that means the 18640 zip
code area. If a subscribers address
falls within that zip area theyll re-
ceive the messages from the Pitt-
ston police.
PoliceChief Robert Powers said
startinga NIXLEalert systemwas
on his mind when he was sworn in
aschief inJanuaryof 2010. When
I became chief it was one of my
goals to start it here, he said. La-
flinhas it andI talkedtoChief Fla-
nagan about it. I gave it to Sgt.
Knowles to get the ball rolling.
Sitting in front of a computer in
his office on Friday morning
Knowles demonstrated howNIX-
LEworks and talked about what it
can do.
Its pretty cool, he said. We
see it as being useful for, say, the
TomatoFestival. We canalert peo-
ple that roads are shutdownfor the
race or the parade. Theyll get a
text message from the city and
knowwhat areas to avoid.
Messages sent out through
NIXEL are categorized as alerts,
advisories and community. An
alert might befor criminal activity.
Keep your eyes open and call
911, Knowles said.
An advisory could be for a gas
leak or road closures for such
things as astructurefires, flooding
or weather damage. Acall for vol-
unteers for anevent suchas aclean
up would fall under community.
Its a good tool. Its a free tool.
Its ano-brainer for us andthepub-
lic, Powers said.
Knowles said he and Powers
tested the service and alert went to
the chiefs phone instantaneously.
But for that to happen the police
will have to be vigilant in creating
the alerts.
Its uptous, the department su-
pervisors, to do it, which we will,
Knowles said.

per, as having tennis courts and a
basketball court. But the courts
were abandoned years ago. All
thats left of the tennis courts are
the net stanchions and weeds
growing through the cracked
pavement inside a deteriorating
fence, while the basketball court
has a sagging rimon one end and
a bare pole on the other and a sink
hole in the middle. There are no
garbage receptacles and on Fri-
daytheareawas strewnwithlitter.
Neighbors who did not want to
reveal their names say the park is
useless for recreation and has
turned into a hang out. There are
no tennis courts. That was a fad
years ago, said one of the park
neighbors. The only part thats
maintained is the Little League
and thats only during the season.
The playground, if you can call it
that, is not safe. Its adisgrace. My
son calls it the broken park or the
junky park.
The neighbor doesnt fault the
police for the vandalism. They
patrol it. I see them sometimes
twice a shift. But they cant be
there all the time.
Another neighbor said he
walks for exercise twice a day on
Hill Park Avenue. I never go in
the park. Too many hooligans or
whatever you want to call them.
The city doesnt maintain it.
That park neighbor said the
brokendownfencearoundtheold
unused Little League ball field is
continually vandalized. The city
comes inonceinawhileandfixes
the fence and within a couple
weeks its downagain. I sawagirl,
she looked to be 12 or 13, bounc-
ing on the fence and she said,
This is the best [expletive] tram-
poline ever and thats a direct
quote. Its been a problem for
years and its worse than ever.
Another resident living near
Sullivan Park said once the new
Little League field was built on
the former Fourth Ward softball
field, the old Little League com-
plex behind it was forgotten. It
was like they said the vandals
could have it.
Moskovitz didnt dispute the
complaints. The criticism is
just,hesaid. Its embarrassing, I
agree, but there is only so much
we can do. Weve been trying to
keep up park maintenance in
house insteadof contractingit out
and were behind. Were trying to
keep up. Its dollar intensive.
Weve been turned down for a
recreation grant requests, but we
cant make excuses. We need to
do a better job. Moving forward
we are going to try to redirect
grant efforts to the neighbor-
hoods and that includes parks.
The citydidhire a newfull time
employee, Dave Hines, and one
of his responsibilities will be to
help develop a plan for the parks.
The city also hired two seasonal
employees this year for grass cut-
tingandother summer work, rath-
er than contracting that work out,
but Lombardo said they cant just
concentrate on parks. They have
to take care of the monuments,
city hall, and all the city owned
properties.
And, Lombardo said, the city
just doesnt have the budget to
maintain parks which is labor in-
tensive. We have to take care of
our police, fire and sanitation
first.
The vandalism isnt limited to
Sullivan Park. After the city took
over Jefferson Park froman asso-
ciationa fewyears ago, Mayor Ja-
son Klush and council spent 100
hours repairing the park building
with $3,000 in donations and
within two weeks it was vandal-
ized. Damage was in the thou-
sands of dollars.
Klush said vandalism in the
parks is daunting. Its tough
these days. Not like when I was
growing up. My Dad would kick
my butt if I did stuff like that.
Cameras may be a way to com-
bat vandalism and other illegal
activity at Jefferson, Sullivan and
other parks and the city is consid-
ering a camera program that will
include the parks.
Police Chief Robert Powers
would welcome the cameras. He
said so far this year the police
havent receivedmanycalls about
the park, but he suspects that will
change in the summer. We
havent received many com-
plaints about kids hanging out
drinking so far this year, but we
had quite a few last year.
Sullivan Park is lined on two
sides with woods and the only ve-
hicleaccess is thenarrowoneway
Hill Park Avenue and that makes
it hard to patrol.
They see the lights coming
and they can run, Powers said.
Mayor Jason Klush said he is
sensitive to the charge the city is
revitalizing the downtown at the
expense of the neighborhoods. I
take that to heart, he said. Its
not like we put the parks aside.
Weve worked on Jefferson Park
and helped the junior football out
at West Park. It just so happened
thegrant wegot was for thedown-
town.

This Summer the Greater Pitt-
ston YMCA is the place to be.
Starting in June the Ywill be of-
fering programs for all ages to
enjoy summer to the fullest.
Summer Palooza
The Y will kick of summer on
the official first day of the sea-
son, June 20, with Summer Pa-
looza 2012. The evening will
consist of friends, family, food,
entertainment and an all-a-round
great evening.
Being held at the Open Space
in Pittston (73 South Main
Street) the event will cost $35per
person going from 6 10 p.m.
The event is being catered by Pa-
lazzo 53 and a cash bar will be
available. The event is being
hostedbySamSanguedolce, Mi-
chael Lombardo and Dion Fer-
nandes with Good to Go on
stage. All proceeds will be bene-
fiting the Greater Pittston YM-
CA.

mentary babysitting to all at-
tendees from 6 9 p.m. at the Y.
Reservations are recommended
by calling the Y or registering
on-line. The event is sponsored
by Palazzo 53, Reilly Associates

Summer Camp
Fromnowto June 11the Grea-
ter Pittston YMCA is encourag-
ing parents to help keep their
kids physically active and men-
tally engaged by signing themup
for the Ys Summer Camp. Sum-
mer is a critical out-of-school
time when children and teens
can benefit from enriched learn-
ing, new experiences and mak-
ing new friendships. The Ys
camp offers all of this and more.
While summer should be a
time of exploration, youth are
sometimes less involvedinactiv-
ities that stimulate their mind
and body, says Kory Chwas-
ciewski, child care director,
Greater Pittston YMCA. When
at Sumer camp, kids have the op-
portunity to get outdoors and
learn about nature, take on new
responsibilities, gain independ-
ence, and develop essential so-
cial skills and new relationships.
As a result, they become more
confident, open to trying new
things and grow as individuals
and as part of a group.
Summer camp provides excit-
ing and educational camp pro-
gramming for children and
teens, and their parents, includ-
ing: camping, trips to the library,
field trips, swimming and much
more. And, to ensure that all
youth have the chance to experi-
ence camp, the Ys Summer
Camp offers financial assistance
to those in need.
A leading nonprofit commit-
ted to nurturing the potential of
youth, the Y has been a leader in
providing summer camp for
more than 125 years. Summer
camp continues to give youth an
enriching, safe experience with
caring staff and volunteers who
model positive values that help
build their kids character. Ac-
cording to Y camping experts,
there are five reasons why chil-
dren and teens should attend
summer camp:
Adventure: Summer camp is
all about a wide variety of fun
adventures and newexperiences,
and especially exploring the out-
doors. YMCAcamps have a new
adventure for every child and
teen. Visit www.greaterpitt-
stonymca.org for details.
Healthy fun: Day and resident
camps offer fun, stimulating ac-
tivities that engage the body and
mind, and also help children and
teens learn the importance of nu-
trition to help improve their eat-
ing habits.
Personal growth: While being
away from the routine back
home, youth have a chance to
learn new skills, and develop
confidence andindependence by
taking on new responsibilities
and challenges.
New friendships: Amidst the
fun of camp games, songs,
swimming, canoeing and talent
shows, campers meet new
friends.
Memories: Summer camp is
an unforgettable experience that
will give each camper memories
(and campfire stories) that will
last a lifetime. Youth return to
school with plenty of camp sto-
ries to share.

your kids learn a new sport like

e were calledonsomethingthat
appeared in our Guide to Grea-
ter Pittston, a booklet we pub-
lish annually. Under the Pittston City sec-
tion in the guide it was listed that Sullivan
Park in the city has tennis courts, a basket-
ball court and a playground.
Areader called and chastised us for that
description and he was right.
As a story on page five describes, the
tennis courts no longer exist and havent
for years, the basketball court is in woeful
shape and the playground amounts to two
tooldslidingboards, a climbingunit anda
tire swing.
In addition, a fence around an old Little
League field in the park is broken down
and dangerous.
The caller said there are no garbage re-
ceptacles in the park. Thats because if
there were they would soon be filled with
household garbage or dumped over by
vandals.
And therein is a problemthat affects all
the citys parks, vandalism.
Not long ago, the city spent $3,000 in
donation money to improve Jefferson
Park, only to have it vandalized in a matter
of day.
It would be easy to slamthe city for the
condition of the parks, but city officials
make a good point in their defense. The
city has at least seven parks and nine
could be counted: Clark (the former Up-
per Pittston Park), Jefferson, Gilmartin,
Sullivan, Cosgrove, Riverfront, Allar-
dyce, Albert West, and Oregon.
Though all may not be owned by the
city, in any case, that is way too many to
justify by its population, which is under
8,000.
By comparison, Exeter, which is four
times bigger than the city by area, nearly
as populous and younger, has only three
parks, one being a nature park.
The citys parks were opened back
when the citys population was double or
even triple what it is today. The demise of
neighborhood parks follows the same
model as the demise of neighborhoodcor-
ner stores, elementary schools and
churches.
The citywants todivest itself of some of
the parks, which is a good idea. The city
would be much better off with two, or at
most, three parks.
But in the meantime, while we sympa-
thize with the citys budget constraints,
they must find a way to make the parks
safer and less unsightly.
Citys parks

OUROPINION
Months come and months go! Each is significantly marked
with patriotic, religious, family occasions and special events.
Anticipation of the event makes for excitement. My anxiety and
excitement began early in January when Chet and I booked a
flight to Dallas, Texas, for early May to attend my grandson Ni-
colas Erturkuners high school graduation from Jesuit College
Preparatory School of Dallas, Texas. Our trip was planned to
coincide with Mothers Day, a holiday that I had not celebrated
with my Texas family in a number of years.
The daywas doublymemorable since, onthat day, we attended
Nicholass baccalaureate Mass followed by a brunch to honor
students mothers. It was so impressive to witness 265 young
men attired in suits and ties gathered with their families to wor-
ship and to hear the deep baritone voices lifted in song. As I sat
listening (and drying my eyes), I thought surely the Lord is hear-
ing these voices and nodding his approval. The brunch held at a
local hotel was very nice and ran smoothly, considering there
were over 900 people in attendance. Smiles and pride were not
on the menu but obviously were on the faces of the parents of the
young male graduates.
For a parent, a graduation ceremony is monumental. It culmi-
nates many years of preparation with school lunches, seeing that
their clothes are picture perfect, rides to and from school, help-
ing with homework, attending teacher conferences, working at
the concession during sporting events, attending sporting events
and school functions, coaching a team or two - all done with
love, patience and, sometimes, impatience - with the ultimate
goal of high school graduation. It is an accomplishment and
compliment to the student and parents as well.
Ask any grandparent and they will tell you the graduation of a
grandchild is filled with pride and many remembrances of the
child who has grown into adulthood. I remember with mind and
heart the little boy who left the house dressed in a St. Marks
School uniform, perfect from head to toe, with a back pack the
width of his back. He left the house each morning prepared with
his school work and I prayed that, along with his learning, there
would also be joy in his day.
Fond memories abound of the Fridays we attended mass at St.
Marks and watched as a sea of yellowshirts and green pants and
skirts donned by the students filed into the church. The seventh
and eighth-students held the hands of the children in first and
second-grades. The happiest part was after mass when Nicolas
and Alexander broke line to give Grandma and Grampy a hug.
Throughout Nicolass school years, it has been a wonderment
towatchhis character developfromhis love of Thomas the Train
to his asking Who will be our next president? I marvel at the
discipline in which he tackled his school work with and was not
afraid to ask for teacher or parent guidance.
May I as a grandmother boast of his accomplishments? First,
he graduated Summa Cum Laude and secondly, he will attend
Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, to further his
studies and use his talents on the tennis courts to be part of the
university team. What really has my buttons bursting is that dur-
ing his senior year, Nicholas was named co-editor of the Jesuit
College Preparatory School Class of 2012 year book The Last
Round Up. Sixty years ago, this grandmother was co-editor of
the Pittston High School Class of 1952 yearbook, Memories.
On to another noteworthy occasion in the month of May,
Chester (Cesare) Montante, known as Chet, celebrated his 93rd
birthday on May 30. The day began a little overcast which was
completely ignored since Chet was scheduled to play golf with

In 1965, Northeast
High School was in
its third year of serv-
ing Avoca, Duryea,
Dupont, Hughestown,
Pittston Township, Jen-
kins Township and Ya-
tesville. What unexpected problem did
the school face in representing the seven
boroughs?
1965 47 Years Ago
853 seniors were eligible for gradua-
tion in the regions seven high schools.
Pittston City High School had 140 stu-
dents slated to graduate, St. John the
Evangelist High School had a class of
138, West Pittston High expected to
present 147 diplomas, Wyoming High,
70; West Wyoming, 47; Exeter High, 76;
and Northeast High School which in-
cluded students from Avoca, Duryea,
Dupont, Hughestown, Pittston Town-
ship, Jenkins Township and Yatesville
would graduate 235. Northeast School
would have only five graduating classes.
In 1967, Pittston Area joined with
Northeast to become Pittston Area
School District.
A plaque honoring the late Dr. Albert
Biederman was placed in the cardiol-
ogy room of the Pittston Hospital. Dr.
Biederman championed the Heart Fund
and worked tirelessly as the chairman of
the local heart crusade. Present at the
event were Atty. Thomas F. Burke,
Mrs. Albert Biederman, Herbert J.
Morris of the Heart Association, Joan
Poplawski, recipient of the Dr. Albert
Biederman nursing award; Agnes Burns
,director of nursing services; Mrs. Ha-
rold Salsburg, Dr. Leonard Towlen,
James J. Lydon, Dr. Martin Walsh,
Margaret Loux Tonrey, director of
nursing services; Mildred Sayers and
Elaine Davis.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked St. Johns High School
students: What are your future plans?
Marianne McGowan, of Avoca,
answered, To continue my education at
Marywood. Im interested in the field of
education.
Stanley Barnak, of Dupont, stated,
Ive been accepted at Penn State. My
planned course is Chemical Engineer-
ing.
Ellen Pettengil, of, Avoca added,
Ive applied for work at Bell Telephone
in Scranton and received an interview. I
hope to begin work this summer.
1975 37 Years Ago
The only thing left standing after a
devastating fire ripped through St. Ceci-
lias Church in Exeter was the sign wel-
coming worshippers and the front door-
way. The intensity of the fire was evi-
denced by the condition of the church
bell, which was twisted into an unrecog-
nizable shape. Msgr. Joseph T.
Shaughnessy, pastor, inspected the
undamaged contents of the corner stone
which included a 1901 edition of the
Wilkes-Barre Record.
Melanie Liquori, of Exeter, liked to
be called Mimi, even by her fellow Little
Leaguers. Mimi, 12, was the first girl to
participate in Little League baseball in
Exeter and was known to be able to play
just about any position. Mimis father,
Sam, well known WARD radio an-
nouncer, stated, Shes okay and fits
right in.
It was the beginning of summer and
the regions Newest modern western
square dance club, the Swing-Alongs
of Pittston, conducted its first society
dance at St. Johns auditorium. Members
of the club were Dorothy and Charles
Lagrue, Marie and Ernie Silviano,
Jean and Bob Linskey, Kathleen and
Sam LaMark, Jean and Vince Wachs,
Catherine and Merle Davies, Helen
Saber, Eileen and Bill Burns, Doris
and Paul Melvin, Joan Taylor, Bob
Brown and club caller, Chuck Taylor.
Square dancing has been our official
national folk dance since President
Reagan signed an act of Congress in
1982. Since the 1970s, modern Western
square dance has been promoted and
standardized by Callerlab, the Interna-
tional Association of Square Dance
Callers.
1985 27 Years Ago
Joseph Pupa III, president of In-
terstate Window and Door Company in
Pittston Township, learned that an archi-
tectural firm in Clarks Summit was
handling the Statue of Liberty restora-
tion, at which time he and his father
Joseph Pupa Jr. offered to donate a
total of 32 vinyl windows and rolling
doors for the restoration pavilion in New
York harbor.
Originally known as Interstate Home
Improvement, the company was founded
in 1939 by Joseph Pupa Sr. Currently,
the company has two locations, Inter-
state Building Materials, Inc. 322 Laurel
St., Pittston and Interstate Window &
Door Company, 3000 N. Township
Blvd., Pittston. The company was
named Small Business of the Year by
the Greater Pittston Chamber of Com-
merce.
According to statueofliberty.org, in
1982 President Ronald Reagan asked
Lee Iacocca, then Chairman of Chrysler
Corporation, to head a private sector
effort to raise funds for the restoration
and preservation of the Statue of Liberty
and Ellis Island. The American people
contributed more than $600 million to
the repair, restoration and maintenance
of both projects.

landed at the Wilkes-Barre Scranton
International Airport in Avoca. They
were greeted by a number of groups and
individuals all joining in support of the
Tobyhanna Army Depot, which was
being considered for closure by the
commission.
Pat Capitano of Hughestown accom-
panied by her children Nina and Rachel
believed they would be forced to move
should the depot close. Paul Dominic
and fellow retiree Fred Marianacci
protested the closure saying the impact
on our area would be tremendous.
Two busloads of Pittston Area High
School Culture Advanced Placement
Class and English honors class joined
teacher Ron Mortimer who comment-
ed, I think these kids understand the
significance of the closing of Tobyhan-
na. Others joining in the cause were St.
Roccos Girl Scouts, War Post 66 Viet-
nam War Vets, Old Forge High School
students, Dupont Mayor George Le-
gezdh, Avoca Mayor James Haddock,
Avoca Councilman Jim OMalley and
the Wyoming Area cheerleaders.
Answer
With requests to appear at six separate
Memorial Day exercises and one request
at the Dupont Monument dedication, the
Northeast High School Band had a
problem. Music director Charles Musti-
nski called the situation exasperating.
Local HS grads numbered 853 in 1965
Peeking
into the past
With Judy Minsavage
his friend Leon Hoffman. I sent
him off with a kiss and the hope
that today would be the day for
that hole in one.
Ten minutes after his depar-
ture, raindrops began to fall. No
problem because it never rains
on the golf course. (Chet and his
friends Lee Havard and Louie
Samela swear to it). I went about
my morning routine with the
corner of my eye focused on the
weather. It drizzled and stopped,
rained a little harder and stop-
ped. Later, a flash of lightning
crossed the sky with a loud clat-
ter. Now it was pouring rain. No
car in sight so I thought Chet and
his buddies were cozy in the
clubhouse having lunch. The
rain continued at a heavier pace
along with the lightning and
thunder and still no show. Not to
worry?
As the tea kettle was whistling,
the telephone rang. Yes or no?
Would it be Chet? Yes, a not-too-
happy voice, asking me to press
the button for the garage door to
open. In a fewminutes, two indi-
viduals appeared with shirts
pressed to their torsos soaked
with rain and commenting that
they were freezing cold. They
had played nine holes and stop-
ped only when lightning flashed.
As Chet was drying off, I
asked, Didnt you knowenough
to come in out of the rain?
Why? I was hitting the ball
good, far and straight. Thats
pretty good for a 93-year-old.
Our visits to Richardson, Tex-
as, always include an activity
withdear friends TerryandTerry
Ryan. Terry is my version of an
Italian leprechaun full of life,
making every occasion fun and
exciting. Terry, her husband, is
an Irish storyteller. This year, as
in the past, we went to the Dallas
Arboretum where an exhibit of
the renowned glass artist and
iconic sculpture Dale Chihuly
filled the 66-acre garden with an
outdoor display. What a magnif-
icent sight!
I am grateful to have celebrat-
ed these special May occasions
in Richardson, Texas. The me-
mories will be forever encased in
the scrapbook of my mind and
heart where they will not fade or
be misplaced.

high school age students will be
working in West Pittston con-

will be taking turns preparing
and serving dinner. Volunteers
are needed for Monday and
Wednesday of that week. Any in-
terested adults who might be
able to assist in this project are
asked to see Sister Mary Ann,
sign the sheet found at the back
of the Church or call the parish
office. Also, donations of bottled
water are needed. You may drop

They came to honor their
founder.
About 100 faithful gathered
Wednesday night at the Oblates
of St. Joseph Seminary in Laflin
to honor St. Joseph Marello,
founder of the Oblates order.
The Rev. Paul
McDonnell, rector of
the seminary, said Ma-
rello has been honored
at the facility with such
a celebration since he
was named a saint in
2001.
St. Joseph Marello is
our patron and we honor
him lovingly this week, said
McDonnell.
The Oblates of St. Joseph was
founded by St. Joseph Marello is
Asti, Italy, on March 14, 1878,
and was recognized by the Vat-
ican in 1909.
The first American Oblate
community was established in
the Pittston area on March 5,
1929. The Oblates field of work
includes parish administration,
assistance to diocesan clergy,
preaching at missions and re-
treats, education of youth in
schools, seminaries and orphan-
ages.
A solemn Mass was celebrat-
ed Wednesday by the Most Rev.
John M. Dougherty, re-
tired Auxiliary Bishop
of Scranton, and conce-
lebrated by several Ob-
lates of St. Joseph priests
from the PA Province.
We have gathered to-
day to rejoice in the great
goodness of St. Joseph
Marello, Dougherty
said. And to celebrate his can-
onization and his life.
An outdoor reception, hosted
by the Josephite-Marellian Laity
Association, followed, featuring
pizza, hoagies, macaroni salad,
fruit, deserts and coffee.
The group meets at 7 p.m. on
the first Wednesday of each
month at the seminary for
Wednesday evening Mass, cele-
brated in conjunction with the
Novena to St. Joseph and St. Jo-
seph Marello.
Novena prayers and the bless-
ing of the first-class relic of Ma-
rello immediately follow the
Mass.
Were here to support the Ob-
late priests, saidRosie Fasciana,
of Dupont.
Ida Rossi, of Old Boston, at-
tends the Mass every Wednes-
day.
We meet every week, she
said. We pray. And anything we
can do to help the priests.
Marello was born in Turin, Ita-
ly, on Dec. 26, 1844. He entered
the seminary at age12. At age19,
he contracted typhus and prom-
isedthat, if he survived, he would
continue his studies to be or-
dained.
He recovered, attributed the
cure to Our Lady of Consolation,
and was ordained on Sept. 19,
1868.
A goal of his was to arouse in-
terest in the priestly life at a time
when the Italian government was
attempting to quash religious or-
ders by driving monks and nuns
out of monasteries and confis-
cating their property. The men in
his neworder were to be true dis-
ciples, renouncing all things to
follow Jesus and live in the ex-
ample of St. Joseph, the foster fa-
ther of Jesus, according to a
biography written by the Rev.
Paul J. Pavese.
On February 17, 1889, he be-
came the Bishop of Acqui, Italy.
As bishop, he worked tirelessly,
likely causing his early death.
In May 1895, Marello was in-
vited to Savona, Italy, to preside
at the celebration of the third
centennial of the death of St.
Phillip Neri. He accepted, de-
spite his failing health and
against the advice of family and
doctors.
To their pleas, he reportedly
replied, Well, then, I shall go to
Savona, celebrate the festivities
of St. Phillip Neri, and then die.
He did just that.
Marello celebrated a
Pontifical Mass with
considerable difficulty.
The next day he was dri-
ven to his beloved
shrine, the Shrine of Our
Lady of Mercy, and of-
fered his final Mass.
He died on May 30,
1895 at age 50.
He was canonized a
saint by Pope John Paul
II on Nov. 25, 2001.
The Rev. Gustavo Lo-
pez, an associate pastor
at the Church of St. Joa-
chim in Madera, Calif.,
servedas a guest preach-
er in Laflin for the week.
When asked if hell
return to the Seminary
in the future, he replied,
smiling, Ill go wherev-
er God takes me.

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 ruled
unanimously that the Constitutions religion
clauses bar lawsuits against churches by their
ministers, and it held that a Lutheran school
teacher could not sue her church employer for
discriminationbecause she was also a minister
of the church, and taught religion. The Court
said that by imposing an unwanted minister
on a church, the state would infringe the First
Amendments guarantee of free exercise of
religion, which protects a religious groups
right to shape its own faith and mission
through its appointments.
***
A Texas appellate court recently ruled that
state law entitles the owners of a wrongfully
euthanized dog to recover sentimental or
intrinsic damages from a defendant for the
loss of the pet.
***
The Washington state Supreme Court, in a 7-2
decision, has ruled that the Legislature is not
living up to its constitutional mandate to fund
basic education.
***
A new Utah state law makes it illegal to offer
drink specials based on the time of day. In
other words, theyve outlawed happy hour.
***
A new law in Georgia permits driving a golf
cart on the street. The bad news? Because of
that same law, all golf carts are now required
to have more safety features, including a
street-capable braking system and horn.

Have you looked at your reusable grocery bags lately? Many times
we dont until we are rushing into the store feeling really good about
reducing the number of plastic bags dumped in the land field.
Using reusable bags may cause more harm than good if we dont
take care of themproperly. It is important to use themmindfully and
take a look at their sanitary condition from time to time.
First, what is the best way to use your bags? If you are like I am, I
have accumulateda varietyof colors. Its best tocolor code your bags.
Choose different colors for different types of foods. Here are some
recommendations:
Meat: Choose a bag thats easily identifiable. For example, look for
a specific personalized reusable shopping bag, color or design that
will remind you that this is your meat bag. Make sure its made of
machine washable material. Pull the bag from your pile and put the
meat on top at checkout, then tell the cashier to use that bag for meat.
Dont forget to wash it when you get home.
Produce: Use a reusable shopping bag for produce to avoid plastic
produce bags. Unload your fruits and veggies at checkout, and then
reload them into the same bag. Dont forget to wash your bag when
you get home.
Prepackaged food: Once your meat and produce bags are separat-
ed, youll know that the rest of your bags are only used for prepack-
aged foods and groceries. With layers & layers of packaging used
these days, your food should be more than safe. So howdo you wash
your bags? We recommend hand washing your non-woven polypro-
pylene reusable bags and nylon or poly-nylon reusable bags. In a sink
filled with warm, antibacterial soapy water. Let them air dry com-
pletely, both inside out AND right side out. This ensures all the
seams, nooks, and crannies are dry and arent retaining any moisture
that can turn into mold. Non-woven polypropylene bags can also be
sprayed down with an antibacterial spray cleaner, but remember to
turn the bags inside out and carefully clean the inner seams.
Laminated reusable bags (either laminated polypropylene bags or
laminated recycled pet bags) should be wiped down with a wet cloth
or washed with a disinfectant spray. Other non-fabric reusable
shopping bags can also be cleaned this way.
Peaches have now come in season. At times we dont think about
serving fruit with dinner, however, it is a good way to boost the num-
ber of fruits you eat a day. Get the grill out and enjoy grilled peach
half!
Grilled Peach Half
Choose a freestone peach.
Wash with water, cut and remove the pit.
Preheat indoor or outdoor grill to medium heat.
Place peaches, cut side up, on a plate.
Drizzle the peaches with balsamic vinegar and then sprinkle with
brown sugar. Let stand for five minutes.
Place peaches, cut side down, on grill rack coated with cooking
spray
Grill 4 minutes or until soft and slightly browned. Turn and cook 2
minutes or until heated through.
Remove to a plate.
Enjoy!
Remember, refrigerating peaches can make them mealy. Do not
refrigerate your peaches unless you are sure they are ripe. You may
prolong their shelf life, but the loss of quality isnt worth it.

Our area lost a dear friend
when Gary DelSerra passed
away Saturday evening. I was
first introduced to Baldi as he
was affectionately known, back
in 1989 when he headed up a
school board ticket consisting of
Dominick Aritz, Dick Pepe, Dr.
Nick Ruggiero and Mike Biro-
sak. Baldi, then the West Pittston
Republican Chairman, success-
fully choreographed a campaign
which swept all four open seats
takingover control of the Wyom-
ing Area School Board which
Chick Adonizio controlled for
decades.
They dont make them like
Baldi anymore. He was from the
old school. When there was a
deal tobe made, noone couldput
it together better than Baldi.
And, at the endof day, everybody
got something and there were
never any hard feelings.
If something went awry, Baldi
would hammer it out in the back
room and everyone shook hands
and parted friends.
When Baldi left the political
scene back in the early 2000s,
politics was never the same. His
last hurrah was garnering Karen
Holly a Republican nomination
for District Justice. In fact, it was
one of the few times I was pitted
against Baldi because I headed
up Ray Hasseys campaign. We
made a friendly bet on the elec-
tion and I ended up buying the
chilidogs at the Majestic. That
little rendezvous made it to the
political page of the Sunday Dis-
patch and everyone wanted to
know who bought.
It was said if Baldi was with
you, you could wake up election
morning guaranteed 700 West
Pittston Republican votes.
Gary DelSerra was a political
mentor to me. But more impor-
tant, he was a friend.
Right now I can see Baldi at
the Pearly Gates having a con-
versation with St Peter. And, Im
sure St. Peter will end up buying
the chilidogs.
He will truly be missed.

When the Wyoming Area La-
dy Warriors got the first out
against the Valley View Lady
Cougars in the bottom of the
sixth inning of their District 2 3A
championship game on Wednes-
day at Marywood University,
they were right were they like to
be in a tight 1-run, low-scoring
game.
Though the Lady Warriors
trailed 2-1 at that point that was
nothing new to them. They had
come from behind to win their
previous two district games 3-2
and 5-4. Had they gotten the next
two outs they liked their chances
of taking the lead in the top of the
seventh.
But at that 1-out point in the
sixth, the Lady Cougars showed
why they are a 17-0 team with
four consecutive district titles by
hitting six consecutive singles
and scoring four runs to take a
6-1 lead into the seventh. The
Warriors went inorder inthe sev-
enth, but not before Lexi Cool-
baugh grounded a hard shot be-
tween first and second that
looked like a hit until VVsecond
baseman Molly Ann Mecca ate
dirt in a dive for the ball and
threw to first from her knees to
nip Coolbaugh by a step.

Meccas play was one of
several fielding gems turn-
ed in by both sides worthy
of a championship game.
In the top of the fifth VV
third baseman Casey
Pearce made a head-long
dive into foul territory to
catch a bunt attempt by
WAs Lindsey Carey.
In the bottomof the fifth
VVs Emma Thompson hit
a sizzling liner into the
right center gap that
looked like a sure hit, but
WA center fielder
Adrienne Pryzbyla caught
it in the tip of her web with
a lunge on a dead run.
Later in that half inning
with two outs and VVrun-
ners on second and third
WAleft fielder DrewBed-
narski made a long run to
catch a pop up that looked
like it was falling in for a
hit that would have scored
two.
In the Wyoming Area
sixth, with the score 2-1,
pitcher Alex Holtz hit a hot
liner to right that looked
like it was over the head of
VV right fielder Blayse
Cholish, but Cholish
caught it with a despera-
tion leap that knocked her
down on her back.
Bednarski scored the
WA run in the top of the
second.
She reached on the
games only error, was sac-
rificed to second by Lexi
Coolbaughandscoredona
line single to left by Pryz-
byla. But the Warriors got
only one more hit off win-
ning pitcher Gina Chief-
fallo, a single by Cool-
baugh in the fourth.
Chieffallo retired the
last 10 WA batters. Nicole
Turner had WAs only oth-
er hit, a single leading off
the game.
Holtz was nearly as ef-
fective for WA through
five innings, giving up on-
ly four hits, before VV
bunched five hits off her in
the sixth.
Nicole Cumbo relieved
her in the sixth and gave up
two more hits before get-
ting two force outs to end
the inning.
OF VVs seven sixth in-
ning hits only one was a
sharp liner. Two were in
the infieldandfour were of
the hit-em-where-they-
aint variety.
The Lady Warriors were
awarded silver medals as
District 2 runners up. They
finished 12-5 with an all-
under classmen line up.
Emily Wolfgang takes a rip. Kate Kross gets decorated with silver Coach Stephanie Griffin has a silver medal for Lexi

Grave Diggers bury foes
Wyoming Area junior first
baseman Bart Chupka won the
inaugural John Anthony "Be-
no" Borzell Most Valuable
Player Award. "Beno" as he was
affectionately known to almost
all, passed away in September
2011.
He played baseball for
Wyoming Area from2002 until
he graduated in 2007. His ver-
satility was the hallmark of his
scholastic baseball career, as he
enjoyed success on the mound,
in the middle infield, in center-
field, and especially on the base
paths.
His leadership, attitude, and
passion for the game epitomize
the ideals for all present and fu-
ture Wyoming Area players to
strive for, and through the an-
nual bestowing of this award,
our baseball family will contin-
ue to honor the memory of a ve-
ry special young man.

Elkos and Sons Bowling
Lanes recently held their
35th Annual Bowling Ban-
quet at St. Maria Gorettis
in Laflin. Each year the El-
ko Family and the Dupont
Parents Association honor
the young bowlers for their
achievements throughout
the year.

ni and his wife Donna and Carmen Ambrosino, CEO of Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Servic-
es.2nd row: Neal Elko, Brian Elko, WilliamElko,Jr., Donna Kasa and WilliamElko.
Picture#5- Brothers Peter & Charles Kulick, between them, took home a total of eight trophies in-
cluding the all Wyoming Valley League 1st half Champs- Champions Class B Handicap.
Alex Holtz struck out three.
Wyoming Area threw out two
runners, meaning of the 39
outs in the game 28 were
made in the field, with just
one error charged, that on a
throw by VV. Of those 28
outs at least a half-dozen flat
out took away hits. Outfield
plays by WAs Adrienne
Pryzbyla and VVs Blayse
Cholish were jaw droppers.
Like I heard people scream-
ing Oh my God, she caught
it.
VVs third baseman Casey
Pearce looked like she could
play third base in a hard ball
game. What a gun.
By the way, the
Pittston Area team
was 1-13 and lost a
lot of mercy rule
games, but trust
me, they were no
where near as poor
a team as that
record sounds.
The catcher Ma-
rissa Nardone
would be a league MVP on a
winning team.
Back to Wyoming Area,
part of the credit for the WA
fielding prowess has to go to
coach Stephanie Griffin,
who was a heck of a picker
herself as a D-1 caliber short
stop at PA and worked the
Warriors hard on fielding. In
an email she wrote about that
and the season.
I was very proud of the
season our team had, she
wrote. They worked hard
throughout and never put
their heads down. We did
have a lot of tight low scoring
games. This league is filled
with great teams, its very
competitive and as a result
you get a lot of tight low
scoring balls games. We did
focus on defense this year;
its what keeps you in ball
games.
After a couple of school
years away from the high
school sports beat, I was put
back on it out of necessity
toward the end of this school
year. Well, it didnt take me
long to goof up. In a list of
District 2 track and field
medalists I overlooked two
jumpers from Pittston Area.
PA junior Jayson Crawford
placed 4th in the long jump.
For the girls team sophomore
Cales Owens placed fifth in
the high jump. They both
won medals.
While I was away from the
sports beat the softball pitch-
ing distance was moved back
three feet from
40 to 43. It was a
good move.
Back in the
day a when a
pitcher like PAs
all-time great
Nikki Kotula
was striking out
14 a game that
meant the fiel-
ders had to make only seven
outs, or five if two were hit
back to the circle. And be-
cause pitchers like Kotula
were so hard to hit, a lot of
batters bunted. Outfielders
fell asleep. Understandably,
there wasnt much of a premi-
um put on fielding.
Now there are far fewer
strikeouts and that has
changed the game for the
better. Fielding is paramount.
I was stunned by the qual-
ity of the fielding at the
Wyoming Area-Valley View
District 2 3A championship
game Wednesday at Mary-
wood.
Man the kids on those
teams can pick em and throw
em. Valley Views pitcher
Gina Chieffallo is consid-
ered dominant, but stuck out
only six, none over the last
three innings. WA pitcher

Over 80 golfers gathered at
Stone Meadows Golf Course,
Route 115 in White Haven Sat-
urday, May 19 to help a local
young widow and her three
children.
The Fifth Annual Liberty Tax
Golf tournament, with the help
of countless donations and vol-
unteers, raised nearly $7000 for
the Peter Zawierucha family.
Zawierucha, a 1993 graduate of
Pittston Area High School and a
resident of Pittston Township,
was killed May 30, 2011 when
he lost control of his ATV near
his Suscon home. His widow is
the former Jennifer Musto, a
1997 Pittston Area graduate.
Together they have three chil-
dren, Jadan, 9, Peter, 7, and Pa-
trick, 4.
The event was organized by
members of the Mihalka family
who operate Liberty Tax Ser-
vice in five locations across the
area including Pittston. Friends,
neighbors, former classmates
and family members never hes-
itated to help when asked, ac-
cording to Jeanna Bellas Mihal-
ka, a lifelong friend of Musto
Zawierucha.
Everything was a great suc-
cess, Mihalka said. I am
overwhelmed by the generosity
of the people in our communi-
ty.
Since 2008 Liberty Tax has
sponsored a spring tournament
with all proceeds benefiting a
charitable organization. Prior
beneficiaries have included the
March of Dimes, the Redmond
Children Education Fund, and
A Little Bit of Home.
This is the most we have ev-
er raised in any tournament we
have held, Mihalka said. Cer-
tainly no one ever imagined this
could happen to such a young
family and our dear friends, but
it did and life needs to go on.
This is our way of trying to
lighten the burden somehow for
Jen and her family.
Mihalka added that 44 local
businesses and private individu-
als provided sponsorship for the
18-hole captain and crew tour-
nament. A 50/50 drawing was
held and 25 donated basket raf-
fles included everything from
sports memorabilia and gift cer-
tificates to fine wine and cash
prizes.
We were able to raise so
much money for Jen and the
kids and donations are still roll-
ing in, she said.
A Pre-tournament mixer was
hosted by the Brickhouse in Du-
pont on Friday, May 18. A post-
tournament dinner was held at
the VFW in Dupont where or-
ganizers announced tournament
winners and awarded prizes.

OBITUARIES
Charles D. Lemmond Jr.,
long-time Pennsylvania State
Senator and community leader,
died Wednesday, May 30, 2012
in Commonwealth Hospice at
St. Lukes Villa, Wilkes-Barre,
following a brief illness. He
was 83.
Born in Hazleton on January
17, 1929, to Charles D. and
Ruth Zierdt Lemmond, Charles
grew up in Forty Fort and at-
tended Forty Fort schools,
graduating as president of his
senior class.
After a stint in the United
States Army of Occupation
where he saw service in Italy,
Charles attended Harvard with
support from the GI Bill and
majored in government. He ex-
celled as the principal trumpet
player in the Harvard Band and
was spotlighted in an article in
Colliers Magazine entitled,
Harvard Never Loses at Half-
time.
He received an A.B. from
Harvard in 1952 and then went
on to receive an L.L.B. from
the University of Pennsylva-
nias School of Law. Charles
served as a law clerk for The
Honorable Max Rosenn and
was admitted to the Pennsylva-
nia Bar, the Luzerne County
Bar and many years later, was
honored to be admitted to prac-
tice before the United States
Supreme Court.
Following law school, Char-
les returned to the Wyoming
Valley where he met and mar-
ried Barbara Northrup. The
couple lived briefly in Glen
Summit and Forty Fort before
moving to Dallas, where they
have lived for more than 50
years and raised four children:
Charles Lemmond, Austin,
Texas; John Lemmond, Virgin-
ia Beach, Va.; Judith Lem-
mond, Dallas; and David Lem-
mond, New York City, N.Y.
During his early years as a
lawyer, Charles was a principal
in the firm of Silverblatt and
Townend, and he served as so-
licitor for a number of munici-
pal entities, including the
Lake-Lehman School District,
Dallas Borough and Exeter
Township. He was tapped by
Luzerne County District Attor-
ney Blythe Evans for the posi-
tion of First Assistant District
Attorney, and
in that role he
prosecuted
and won a
number of
high profile
criminal
cases.
In 1980, he was appointed by
Governor Dick Thornburgh to
serve as a judge of the Luzerne
County Court of Common
Pleas, where he was the Or-
phans Court Judge.
When Senator Frank OCon-
nell announced his retirement
from the Pennsylvania Senate,
Charles was encouraged by Pa-
trick J. Solano, Republican
Party strategist, to throw his
hat into the ring for the vacant
Senate seat. After winning the
Republican nomination in a
hotly contested race, Charles
went on to win the Special
Election in a landslide. He was
the Senator of the 20th Senato-
rial District from1985 until his
retirement in November 2006.
Often referred to by his col-
leagues as The Gentleman of
the Senate, Charles chaired
the State Government Com-
mittee and was Vice Chair of
the Judiciary Committee. He
was a member on the Criminal
Justice Commission and the
Reapportionment Task Force
of the National Conference of
State Legislatures, and served
as Vice Chair of the Pennsylva-
nia Higher Education Assist-
ance Agency Board of Direc-
tors.
His experience as a judge
served the Commonwealth
well when he was named to the
Senate Impeachment Trial
Committee that weighed the
charges against Supreme Court
Justice Rolf Larsen.
He sponsored many pieces of
legislation, with none provid-
ing more personal satisfaction
than the law requiring hearing
screening for newborns.
Charles was an active and in-
volved participant in many
community organizations. He
was a Thirty-Third Degree Ma-
son, a member of the Caldwell
Consistory, and served as Po-
tentate of the Nobility of Irem
Shriners in 1979.
Other community service in-
cluded being a Life Member of
Wyoming Seminarys Board of
Trustees and an advisory board
member of both the Salvation
Army and Penn State Universi-
tys Wilkes-Barre Campus. He
was a Lay Leader of the First
United Methodist Church of
Wilkes-Barre, and over a peri-
od of years served in many
leadership roles in the Wyom-
ing Conference of the United
Methodist Church.
Charless commitment to his
community was acknowledged
in the citation for an Honorary
Degree of Doctor of Humane
Letters awarded him by Wilkes
University in 2000. Then-
Wilkes President Dr. Chris-
topher N. Breiseth cited him as
a man of unblemished integri-
ty and broad popularity who
had applied his judicial tem-
perament to the cause of good
government.
Further acknowledgement of
his good works was provided
by Misericordia University in
the naming of its campus per-
forming arts center as the Lem-
mond Theater.
In addition to his wife and
children, Charles is survived
by a brother, George H. Lem-

This summer, Adiya Golden
and Bianca Mazzarella grade 5
students at Wyoming Area Ca-
tholic School along with over
250 outstanding middle school
students from across the Unit-
ed States will take part in an
extraordinary leadership con-
ference in Washington, D.C.
Themed Voices of Leadership:
Reflecting on the Past to Cre-
ate the Future, the Junior Na-
tional Leaders Conference
(JrNYLC) introduces young
people to the rich tradition of
leadership throughout Ameri-
can history, while helping
them to develop their leader-
ship skills.
The aim of the Junior Na-
tional Leaders Conference is to
inspire students to recognize
their own leadership skills,
measure their skills against
those of current and former
leaders and retun home with
new confidence in their ability
to exercise positive influence
within their communities,
said Marguerite Regan, PhD,
Dean of Academic Affairs for
the Congressional Youth Lead-
ership Council (CYLC), the
organization that sponsors
JrNYLC. Young people are
not only welcome in Washing-
ton, D.C., they actually keep
this city and our country run-
ning.
During the six-day program,
students take part in education-
al activities and presentations
and explore relevant sites, such
as Harpers Ferry National His-
toric Park, West Virginia and
Washington D.C.s museums
and memorials.
In addition to examining no-
table leaders U.S. leaders and
historic figures, students study
the impact of leadership
throughout critical periods of
American History including
the Civil War and Reconstruct-
ion, World War II, the Great
Depression and the Civil
Rights Movement. Upon com-
pletion of JrNYLC, students
will have gained a greater
sense of the role of individuals
in American Democracy, as
well as the responsibilities of
being a leader.
