I lived in Clarks Summit
from1989 to 1995 and my fa-
vorite way to get there from
Pittston was via Coxton Road
and the scenic Newton-Ransom
Boulevard. Any current drive
on that two-lane stretch makes
me think of rolling along with
my nine or ten year old daugh-
ter sitting next to me and her
six or seven year old brother on
a booster seat in the back.
I was lost in that reverie one
day last summer when I drove
past the little miniature golf
course at Red Barn Village. It
was my sons favorite place in
the world. On the way back, I
stopped, took a photo with my
smart phone and emailed it to
Michael with this message:
Janis Joplin sang in the song
Me and Bobby McGee, Id
trade all my tomorrows for one
single yesterday. Thats a pre-
posterous notion, Mike. But on
a beautiful summers day,
standing here at Red Barn
Village, it gets me to thinking.
That little tyke with the golf
club turns 26 on Thursday. He
lives and works in Chicago
now, and I cant remember the
last time we played miniature
golf. On the other hand, if you
give me a minute, I probably
can. Theres very little about his
youth I do not remember and
this time of year conjures up
one of the best recollections.
The street department policy
in Clarks Summit was to rake
your leaves to the curb in front
of your property and the munic-
ipality would come along and
vacuum them. It not only made
a beautiful sight around town
but was also a pretty sweet
arrangement for homeowners.
Except me.
At our house, the trees, and
therefore the leaves, were in the
back yard.
Acting on the advice of a
neighbor, I addressed the prob-
lem with the help of a bed
sheet.
Id spread the sheet on the
grass and rake as many leaves
as I thought it would hold into
the center. Then Id gather each
of the four corners in my hands,
give them a twist or two, and
sling the whole thing over my
back like Santas sack. Out
front at the curb, Id release my
grip and, voila, leaves ready for
the vacuum.
The kids, of course, always
helped.
The first time we did this, it
wasnt long before Michael
figured out the role he wanted
to play in the operation. Out of
the corner of my eye, I watched
him creep into the center of the
sheet.
I, the unknowing dad, played
my part perfectly.
I just kept raking leaves,
ostensibly unaware of his pres-
ence, until he was covered com-
pletely.
All the while I kept asking
Greta, Now, where did that
brother of yours get to? He was
just here a minute ago.
This prompted giggles from
under the pile of leaves, but I
knew my character in this dra-
ma was not only supposed to be
blind but also deaf.
Greta played along, too.
Maybe he ran into the house
for something, she said, a
finger to her lips while pointing
to the pile of leaves, just in case
I was that stupid.
By then, I was ready to hoist
the sack.
My goodness, I groaned,
pretending to strain under the
load, this is the heaviest bag of
leaves yet. I must have raked
too many.
The struggle to the front was
punctuated by more groans and
grunts and comments like:
Am I getting weaker?
Did someone put a cinder
block in this sack?
Giggles from within again,
apparently inaudible to me
filled the crisp air.
But my best performance was
reserved for the emptying of
the sack and the shocking dis-
covery of the surprise inside. I
played it to the hilt.
The crazy part is that we
immediately went to the back
yard and did the whole thing all
over again, right down to the
Wheres that brother? and the
feigned surprise at the unveil-
ing.
And then again and again
until all the leaves were depos-
ited out front.
The other day my son was
telling me about the game he
plays in his apartment with his
dog and cat. Truman, hell
say, find Gizmo. And the dog
goes scurrying off until he
locates the cat.
At times like these I tell Mi-
chael the thing about him that
pleases me most is that he
knows how to love. Thats more
important to me that any career
successes.
The reason he knows how to
love might be because hes been
loved. Gratifying as that notion
may be, I deserve no credit.
Loving him and his sister is
the easiest thing Ive ever done.
And it keeps getting easier.
Which means I suppose I
wouldnt trade any tomorrows,
after all. They hold too much
promise.
Besides, all the yesterdays are
right there in them.

The citys traffic committee
rejected two requests from resi-
dents, one for the installationof a
stop sign and the other to make a
street a one way.
The reports from the commit-
tee were presented to Pittston
City Council at their monthly
meeting Wednesday night.
At a previous meeting, a resi-
dent of River Street
asked that part of
Johnson Street be
made a one-way going
north.
The resident, Philip
Gianfarcaro, said his
daughter was almost
involved in a crash
there and said it was a
dangerous area. Police
chief Robert Powers,
along with Fire Chief
James Rooney and Su-
perintendent of Streets
Sam Valenti, conduct-
ed a traffic study on
Aug. 16.
They said a one-way would
cause congestion on the sur-
rounding streets. They said this
stretch of road is mostly used by
residents of the Oregon section
as a through traffic on a limited
basis and its not a major thor-
oughfare. The traffic committee
said there hasnt been a serious
accident in the area, but they said
additional signs are needed and
will be installed.
Also at a previous meeting, a
resident requested to have the in-
tersection of Carroll Street and
Hunter Street made a four-way
stop intersection. A traffic study
was conducted and the commit-
tee recommended against it.
Their reasoning was that if a
driver was headed north down
Hunter Street in a snowstorm
and had to stop at the bottom of
the hill, the snow could hinder
the driver fromcoming to a com-
plete stop. The driver could lose
control and strike and oncoming
driver or parked vehicles.
Also, the council voted to sub-
mit a $2millionloan/grant appli-
cation to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture for im-
provements to City Hall and to
extend the Streetscape project up
South Main Street from Market
Street to Columbus Avenue.
Thats important because its
a gateway street and also it com-
pletes the central
business district, part
of the Streetscape,
Joe Moskovitz, city
manager, said. It
would be part of the
Streetscape. The city
has plans for that
block.
That block cur-
rently houses long-
time Pittston City
powerhouses the
Gramercy Restau-
rant and Ballroom
and Sabatelles mar-
ket.
We feel that its important to
finish the project by including
that in the streetscape, Mosko-
vitz said.
Moskovitz said the plan is to
move the police station into the
basement, the former home of
the Pittston Memorial Library.
The police department is ful-
ly interested in moving down
there, Moskovitz said. It would
provide them with a more pro-
fessional police presence at City
Hall and they would have their
own space downstairs. It would
add a degree of confidentiality,
as well.
City Hall was built in 1940
and there have been no signifi-
cant upgrades to the building,
Moskovitz said.
Also, an installation of an ele-
vator is needed so City Hall will
be in compliance with federal
Council talks traffic, funding
Msgr. Bendik poses at the sign indicating the new 'Monsignor Bendik Way.'
Also, the city plans to seek
a $2 million grant or loan
to upgrade City Hall

When Confederate States Ar-
my General Robert E. Lee sur-
rendered to the Union Army un-
der Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at
Appomattox Court House, Vir-
ginia on April 12, 1865 formally
ending the Civil War,
Pittston was repre-
sented by George C.
Sigmann, a Corporal
in the 11th Regiment
Pennsylvania Volun-
teer Calvary.
There may have
been other Pittston ar-
ea men in the re-
giment, but Sigmann
is to only one who has been iden-
tified as having been there.
Sigmann had been born in Ba-
den, Germany, in1844. He came
to the United States with his
family when he was eight, set-
tling in Pittston. Sigmann joined
the Union Army in March of
1864 just before his 20th birth-
day to serve three years or to the
end of the war.
As it turnedout he wouldserve
one and one-half years.
Though he was mustered in at
Scranton, he assignedtoCompa-
ny H of the 11th Calvary Re-
giment which was headquar-
tered in Bethlehem.
Sigmann rode and fought in
some little known, yet pivotal,
battles in the last year of the war
including the siege of Suffolk,
the Beaver DamChurch engage-
ment, the Front of Petersburg,
Wilsons Raid, White Oak
Swamp, Five Forks, Deep Creek
and Amelia Springs, all in Vir-
ginia and all part of the Appo-
mattox Campaign, and at the
Battle of Five Forks less than two
weeks before Appomattox cut
the Confederates off froman im-
portant railroad.
Duringthe expeditionCompa-
ny H destroyed large amounts of
railroad track, station buildings,
locomotives and cars.
Sigmann was discharged on
August 20, 1865, apparently un-
injured.
Sigmann lived in Pittston after
the war until 1887 when he was
43. He moved to Conynghamar-
ea where he was a
member of the Grand
Army of the Republic
Post 567. He died in
1925 at age 81.
Sigmanns story was
uncovered by Tom
Weiss an antique deal-
er at the J. C. Townend
building in Wyoming.
He bought some
things from the estate of Louise
Scrimgeour of West Pittston be-
fore she died at age 95 in 2001,
including the portrait with this
story. Sigmann was Scrimge-
ours grandfather. She was the
daughter of James B. and Kath-
ryn Sigmann Scrimgeour.

Members of the International
Union of Painters and Allied
Trades picketed the site of the
United Food and Commercial
Workers federal credit union be-
ing constructed on South Main
Street Friday morning.
A large inflatable rat, kept in-
flated by a gas-powered genera-
tor, was set up on the sidewalk
near the picketers.
Bob Griffiths, IUPAT union
representative, said his unions
labor is not being used for paint-
ing, drywall and glass.
Theyre building this build-
ing with non-union workers,
Griffiths said. Our union does
business with this credit union.
All 260 members have individu-
al accounts here. We run our Va-
cation Fund for our members
through this credit union.
UFCW Chief Executive Offi-
cer John Hayduk could not be re-
ached for comment.
Griffiths said a union repre-
sentative spoke to Hayduk and
the union was told the credit
union didnt own the building.
They were told it will be devel-
oped, built and sold to the
UFCW after-the-fact or there
will be a long-term lease.
Its bad business for UFCW,
Griffiths said. Were probably
going to pull all of our accounts
out of here and go to a credit
union thats all union.
The big rat is symbolic of
them being a rat, Griffiths
said.
Griffiths said the picketers
will be back in front of UFCWto
get their message out.
The nearly-complete Main
Street Pittston Branch, designed
by Quad 3, will feature a retro fa-
ade in keeping with the citys
downtown revitalization theme.
UFCWalready has a presence
in the city in the form of a kiosk
in Quinns Market.
The new 2,500 square foot of-
fice will replace that and offer a
full range of services, including
mortgages, loans and deposits.
The new branch will have two
drive-through tellers, a drive-
through ATM and night deposit.
The branch will employee 10.
UFCW Federal Credit Union
has three other branch locations
throughout the area: Wyoming
Avenue in Wyoming, Market
Street in Kingston and on the
Sans Souci Parkway in Hanover
Township.

Pittston Area school director
Robert Linskeys federal lawsuit
against several current and past
board members alleging politi-
cal motivations were behind
their decision to replace him as
the districts representative to the
LIU may be nearing an end.
Linskey had been named to a
three-year termas the LIUrepre-
sentative by a 5-3 vote at the Pitt-
ston Area School Boards July
2011 meeting.
He served in
the position on-
ly until Sept.
20, when the
boardvoted5-4
to replace him
with current
board president
Tony Guari-
glia.
During the boards regular
monthly meeting on Tuesday,
board member Charles Sciandra
asked Solicitor Joseph Saporito
how much the district would
have to pay if it were determined
the district were at fault. Saporito
said $10,000 would be paid be-
fore the districts insurance pol-
icy would kick in.
Linskey said he did nothing
wrong in filing the lawsuit and
he questioned Sciandras moti-
vation for bringing up the matter.
Sciandra said districts tough
financial situation was the rea-
son. He then challenged Linskey
to make greater attempts to re-
solve the issue outside of the
court setting.
Guariglia suggested Linskey
drop his suit and offered him the
LIU seat back.
The board recessed into exec-
utive sessionmid-meetingtodis-
cuss the lawsuit.
When the board returned,
Guariglia indicated that the par-
ties involved may be close to an
agreement, and said the parties
are nowgoing to seek the advice
of their lawyers.
The suit names as defendants
current Board President Tony
Guariglia and board member
Bruce Knick and past board
members Ross Latona, Martin
Quinn, Mark Singer. The suit al-
so names John Adonizio as a de-
fendant, although Adonizio no
longer sits on the board and did
not take part in the vote.

Andrew J. McAndrew (A.J.),
formerly of Pittston, was recent-
ly promoted to the rank of Lieu-
tenant Colonel by the Maryland
State Police. He is currently the
chief of the Field Operations Bu-
reau.
The Field Operations Bureau
is the most visible part of the Ma-
ryland State Police since it in-
cludes all troopers who regularly
interact with the public. Within
the Bureau are five commands:
the Northern Command and
Southern Command, which to-
gether encompass the 22 bar-
racks; the Aviation Command;
the Special Operations Com-
mand; and the Transportation
Safety Command.
The Northern Command is di-
vided into the Central, Northern,
and Western troops and the
Southern Command is divided
into the Eastern, Southern, and
Washington Metro troops.
Troopers assigned to each of the
22 barracks patrol every county
in Maryland, enforcing laws and
answering calls for assistance.
Unlike many state police agen-
cies that are strictly highway pa-
trol, the Maryland State Police is
a full-service law enforcement
agency. .
McAndrew, a1980graduate of
Pittston Area high school, re-
ceived an Associates Degree in
Criminal Justice from Luzerne
County Community College, a
Bachelors Degree in Criminal
Justice from the University of
Maryland and a Masters Degree
in Management from the Johns
Hopkins University.
McAndrew began his law en-
forcement career in 1983 when
he joined the Baltimore City Po-
lice department. He served for
four years in the United States
Marine Corps Reserves.
He and his wife, Melinda, re-
side in the Baltimore suburbs
and have a son, Sean, a resident
of Raleigh, NC.
He is the son of, former Pitt-
ston residents, Sarellen Cawley
McAndrew, Maryland, and the
late Andy McAndrew, and god-
son of Patrick and Barbara Caw-
ley, West Pittston.
Correction
In a story last Sunday it was re-
ported that the Greater Pittston
Charity Train Ride to benefit the
Greater Pittston YMCA, the
Pittston Memorial Library and
the Care and Concern Free
Health Clinic raised more than
$5,000 for the three charities.
The train ride actually raised
more than $6,400 for each char-
ity and a total of more than
$19,000.

and Dr. and Mrs. Jack Truschel,

rewski Medal during the 2012
National Guild Piano Auditions
at Marywood University.
She received this award by

memorized program for 10 con-
secutive years. This past audi-
tion, she performed works by

Mozart. Abigail has performed

Barre, the Kimmel Center in

Abigail is a sophomore at Ho-
PA grad promoted with Maryland State Police
Mike Talipan Sr. and his wife Jean, residents of Port Griffith, vacation at Ocean city, Maryland,

Loyal Sunday Dispatch reader Mike Breza of Tampa, Fla., formerly
of Union Street in Pittston, requested our roving photographer
take a photo of the state Historical and MuseumCommission's
historical marker on the Twin Shaft Disaster on North Main Street,
near the Junction. Breeze said he doubted he'd be coming home
to see the marker in person. So, here it is, Mike.

The Pittston City Bureau of
Fire, in conjunction with their
volunteer companies the Niaga-
ra Engine and Eagle Hose Co.,
recently presented this years
charitable donation to the Earth-
ly Angels Autism Fund of the
Luzerne Foundation.
The Earthly Angels are dedi-
cated to helping local children
afflicted with autism.
Their mission is to increase
autism awareness and give sup-
port to qualified non-profit orga-
nizations for autistic services.
This is the fire departments
fourth consecutive year of pro-
viding charitable donations to
organizations who in turn pro-
vide services and help to others
in need in the local area. The do-
nation is made possible through
the generous support shown
from local businesses as well as
individuals who continue to an-
swer the departments call for
help at Pittston Tomato Festival
time.
The remainder of the proceeds
is used to provide funding for de-
partment events such as the East-
er Egg Hunt and Santas yearly
visit to the Fire Station.
The committee thanks all the
businesses and individuals who
show their never ending support
when they are called upon.
Chairman Frank Cawley takes
on the responsibility of seeing
this fundraiser through each
year.

Reds and Blues, Rs and Ds,
candidates, politicians, newspa-
per columnists, radio personali-
ties, politicos and, of course,
bloggers packed Rooneys Irish
Pub on Main Street on Friday
night for the sixth Blogfest.
Democrat Gene Stilp who is
running against Congressman
Lou Barletta in the11th District
was there with his pink pig bus
and giant wheelchair parked out
front.
Also in the crowd were Demo-
crat candidate Matt Cartwright
in the 17th District and his oppo-
nent Laureen Cummings; Phyl-
lis Mundyandher November op-
ponent Aaron Kaufer; and Phil
Scollo who is taking on Repub-
lican Tom Marino in the 10th.
The fest started at 6 p.m. and
by 8, the crowd spilled out onto
the sidewalk.
For former West Pittston may-
or Bill Goldsworthy, who works
in Governor Corbetts Scranton
office, Fridays fest was his third.
Its the third one Ive been to. It
gets bigger every year. They say
its not political, but all we do is
talk politics. But its casual. No
speeches. I appreciate the blog-
gers putting it together.
Bill Urbanski, Chairman of
Luzerne County Republican
Committee, was there with Re-
publican committeeman Alex
Milanes.
Its my first blogfest, Urban-
ski said. I was surprised by the
turnout. Youve got Rs and Ds
here so its nice to mingle with
the competition.
Milanes agreed saying, Its
great opportunity to socialize
with both sides of the aisle.
Joe Valenti, who blogs at pitt-
stonpolitics.com, was one of the
organizers of blogfest. Its a
great turnout for a non-local
election year, Valenti said. It
far exceeded our expectations.
The local bloggers agree to have
it here every year because Pitt-
stons kind of in the middle of
Lackawanna and Luzerne coun-
ties. And at the end of the day its
good for Pittston.
Stilp was impressed by the
event and the city. All the con-
gressional districts are here,
Stilp said. Pittston looks great
and its great for Pittston. The
fest has a far reaching effect.
This shows the power of the new
social media. With papers clos-
ing this is the wave of the future.
Pointing to his giant mock
wheelchair he said, It conveys
my message, Preserving Medi-
care with no vouchers.
Stilp added a little dig at Bar-
letta saying, God help those
who arent here.
John Hudanish came all the
way from Carbondale where is
the writer of a column called My
Two Cents in the Carbondale
News, a weeklypaper. He saidhe
came to mingle and because he
supports Stilp and Cartwright
and maybe to get fodder for a co-
lumn. Mr. Stilp has all of
Wyoming County, which just a
few miles from my door and
from my district we have Mr.
Cartwright, Hudanish said.
Democrat Phil Scolo, whowill
try to unseat Republican Tom
Marinointhe10thDistrict inNo-
vember, said blogs are impor-
tant. Its anoutstandingevent. A
lot of divergence of opinion.
With a chuckle he added,
Blogging is where its at now. I
rely on my 14-year-old daughter
to keep me up with the technol-
ogy, but Im a huge supporter of
the blogs.
Aaron Kaufer of Kingston, a
Republican running against in-
cumbent Phyllis Mundy, said,
Its a great event. Its good for
local politicians to show up.
David Madeira, who bills him-
self as a recovering politician
on his radio show on 94.3 FM,
had a good time. Its great fun.
Its amazing how low key it is.
Youve got a right winger like
me, then youve got Gort, then
youve got politicians who dont
usually go somewhere thats not
controlled.
Gort is Ben Hoon who blogs
at as Gort42 and is a pioneer lo-

Pittston Police are investigat-
ing a reported home invasion on
William Street on Saturday
morning.
Police were on the scene at 167
William St. for
well over two
hours into Sat-
urday after-
noon.
Police con-
firmed they are
investigating
and nobody
was hurt.
Officers from eight local po-
lice departments responded.
A police officer carrying a
shotgun was seen in the area.
This is the second home inva-
sion in the city in recent days.
An elderly Pittston man was
robbed in his own home by a
man brandishing a butch knife
on Sept. 13.
Pittston Police arrested Mat-
thew Graziano and charge him
with the crime.
According to police, on Sept.
13, around 11 a.m., police dis-
County Correctional Facility for
lack of $15,000 straight bail. A
preliminary hearing is scheduled
for September 26, 2012 at 1:45
p.m.
and possessing instruments of a
crime. Graziano was arraigned
before Magisterial District
Judge AndrewBarilla in Pittston
and was taken to the Luzerne
headquarters.
Graziano was charged with
robbery, burglary, criminal tres-
pass, simple assault, theft by un-
lawful taking, terroristic threats
patched to a residence on North
Main Street on a report of a rob-
bery.
Sam Alesso, 88, told police a
male entered his home from an
unlocked back door. The male
brandished a butcher-type knife
and pointed it towards Alesso
and told him that he would kill
him if he didnt give him his
money.
The male then turned Alesso
over on the couch and removed
his wallet.
He took approximately $54
from Alesso and fled on foot.
The description as given to po-
lice was checked with the sur-
veillance cameras of a local busi-
ness.
The male was seen inside the
business shortly before the rob-
bery took place.
The male was known to police
from prior police contacts as
Matthew Graziano. Luzerne
County 911 immediately put the
description over the radio.
The male was observed at a
South Main Street parking lot by
the Luzerne County Sheriffs
Department and transported
back to the Pittston City police

Msgr. John Jack Bendik is pictured
on page 3 near a newly erected street sign
proclaiming the former alley behind the
former Seton Catholic high school, con-
necting Church Street with Foundry
Street, Monsignor Bendik Way. The
honor and recognition could not be more
appropriate. Nor could the name.
Since his arrival in Pittston as pastor of
St. John the Evangelist Church, later to
become St. John the Evangelist Parish
Community, some 18 years ago, Msgr.
Bendiks unique way has had a profound
effect on Greater Pittston residents of all
faiths.
His decisive but gentle way was most
evident during the year 2007 when he
presided over the closing of three local
churches and guided his flock through
those painful times.
His thoughtful, spiritual way was felt
again and much appreciated during the
closing of financially strapped Seton Ca-
tholic high school.
And his loving, supportive way gave the
go-ahead and necessary support to his
parishioners to begin a free health clinic,
food pantry, and childrens clothing closet
in the former Seton building, three minis-
tries which have grown to near legendary
status.
Msgr. Bendik, of course, accepts little
credit for anyof this, whichis alsohis way.
We love the irony that the new Msgr.
Bendik Way intersects with Church
Street.
We believe we speak for all of Greater
Pittston when we say we are fortunate that
Msgr. Bendiks way has intersected with
our lives.
A way

The 100 or so people who cheered wildly when
the Luzerne County Zoning Hearing Board de-
nied UGI Energy Services application to build a
natural gas compressor station in West Wyoming
emitted many times more pollution driving back
and forth to Wilkes-Barre than the compressor
they are so afraid of would have done in the same
amount of time.
UGI asked the board for a special zoning ex-
ception in West Wyoming so the utility could
build a natural gas compressor station in 14-acres
woods off Fire Cut Road owned by Joseph Kali-
nosky.
But the NIBY faction of 100 well-meaning,
though misinformed, people who purport to
speak for everyone in the West Wyoming area,
intimidated the cowardly county zoning board
into denying a project
that would have been
good for everyone and
good for the air.
If, as the no-com-
pressor people contend,
they are concerned
about air pollution they
should have been up on
Fire Cut Road rolling
out a red carpet for the
compressor.
The faster and cheap-
er we can move the gas
to market the faster it
will replace coal and oil as power plant fuel, and
someday gas for cars, thereby making the air
cleaner.
Working hand-in-hand with the EPA, UGI
addressed every concern about the compressor
from noise to emissions. The compressor would
have emitted 10 times less carbon dioxide than
EPA limits.
On Thursday and Friday in Philadelphia a
group of natural gas haters called Shale Gas
Outrage held protests to coincide with Marcellus
Shale Coalitions annual conference, which
amounts to this: people inside a convention dis-
cussing ways to get a cleaner-burning fuel to
market thereby lowering costs of energy for con-
sumers and making the air cleaner and eco-tyran-
nical people outside trying to stop them.
The natural gas haters have company, Iran and
Saudi Arabia. They hate it because they fear it
will supplant oil and we will stop buying it from
them.
So, what the smarter-than-everybody, NIMBY
gas-haters are saying is this: the heck with clean-
er air. The heck with energy independence from
Iran and Saudi Arabia, the heck with lower ener-
gy prices for everybody.
And, by the way, where were all the protestors
at the ground breaking of construction on the
monstrous Mehoopany Wind Farm. Wheres the
whining and hand-wringing over the clear cutting
and road building on all that wilderness.
Wheres the whining and hand-wringing over
the 2,220 bats and 300 birds the farm will kill
annually according Game Commission esti-
mates? Kill a bat and you could be arrested, but
wind farms are glorified.
Wheres the whining and hand-wringing over
the vista destroying 328-foot high, 270-foot rotor
diameter turbines? The leaf-peepers are going to
love looking at those, huh?
In short wheres the Wind Farm Outrage orga-
nization?
There isnt one because wind farms are warm
and fuzzy and green and will save us from the
burning hell natural gas is leading us to.
What a crock.
The wind farm is being built on 9,000 acres of
mountain top. To make the math easy for slot
machine players lets
say there are 4,000
fracking wells in
Pennsylvania and they
average three acres in
size. That means one
9,000-acre wind farm
being built near Me-
hoopany takes up as
much land as three-
quarters, or 3,000, of
the frack well pads in
the state.
A comparison, if
one could be made, of
the energy production from 3,000 evil frack wells
with the energy production from the 90 turbines
on the wind farm would be like comparing the
sun to a light bulb, to say nothing of the residual
products from natural gas.
And wherere the protests over the use of the
rare-earth metal Neodymium which is used in
wind turbines. Neodymium mining in China
creates vast toxic wastelands that would make
Love Canal look like Cape May. But who cares
about poisoning Chinese workers?
The subsidies and price supports for wind
farms have been in place 20 years, yet advocates
still whine about how government help is needed
to jump start the industry. At what point will
wind turbines stand on their own?
Yeah, oil and gas get subsides, too, and they
are miniscule (Yes, Ron S. I know what minus-
cule means) on a per BTU basis as compared to
the wind subsides.
Wind farms are more expensive to build than
frack wells and will never pay for themselves.
They are feel-good, socialist schemes that in-
crease energy prices for everyone without mak-
ing any meaningful contribution to the power
grid.
By signing on to this 14th century technology
Congressman Tom Marino (literally, he auto-
graphed one of the blades) forfeited his conserva-
tive credentials.

Apples, a food available all year round is especially plentiful now
in Pennsylvania.
This years cropinthe northeast is less thanprevious years, but they
are still available. The counties further south have plentiful crops. Its
fun to learn the different varieties and how to best bring out their
flavors in recipes.
In Pennsylvania, we grow several traditional varieties along with
some heirloom. Apples can be enjoyed as a snack, in salads, in pies,
applesauce and of course just baked.
The best overall type of apple which fits in all of these categories is
ginger gold, Cortland, golden delicious, nittany, stayman (winesap),
fuji, braeburn and granny smith.
How can you easily add apples to your diet? Here are easy tips to
get you started:
Slice an apple onto your sandwich or salad for a crunchy treat.
Dip apple slices in low- or no-fat vanilla yogurt for an easy lunch or
snack.
Stir chopped apples with the skin on into your hot or cold breakfast
salad.
Add chopped apples to your favorite coleslaw
Add chopped apples to your favorite pasta salad recipe
Add apples and sliced cabbage to sauerkraut when heating (takes
the bite away)
Add sliced apples onto top of pork chops when baking
Add sliced apples to your favorite chicken stir fry recipe
Once you purchase apples, either from the orchard, farmers mar-
ket or store, keep them at their best by following this storage and
handling tips:
Select firm apples free from bruises. To keep apples crisp, keep
them cold. Apples ripen 8 to 10 times faster at room temperature.
Store apples in a ventilated plastic bag or hydrator drawer to pre-
vent them from absorbing other food flavors.
Dip apples in lemon juice after slicing to prevent browning.
Always wash apples in plain water before eating.
Apples are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth yet not cause
tooth decay like soda and candy. They also contain insoluble fiber
and phytochemicals in their peelings so keep the skin on.
What are some unusual ways to use apples?
Try Apple Pizza for breakfast.
Apple Pizza
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup enriched whole grain flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup margarine
2 teaspoon cinnamon
11/2 cups maple syrup
4 small apples sliced
Mix oats, flours, margarine, cinnamon and 1/4 cup of syrup in a
large bowl.
Press 3/4 of mixture into a round 8 cake pan to form a crust.
Combine apples and remaining syrup.
Spoon mixture over crust.
Top with remaining crust mixture.
Press top down.
Bake 30 minutes at 350F.

Almost 30% of the youth in the
United States, or more than 5.7
million children, are estimated to
be a bully, a target of bullying or
both.
There also appears to be a strong
relationship between childhood
bullying and adult legal and crimi-
nal problems.
Studies show that bullies are
generally physically aggressive,
hot tempered, easily angered and
impulsive.
Children and youth that are bullied
are typically anxious, insecure,
and cautious. They suffer from
low self-esteem and rarely defend
themselves.
Many times children are embar-
rassed to tell their parents or other
adults. They end up being very shy
and afraid to be out-spoken and
stick up for themselves...especially
later in life.
Bullying can cause a problem with
grades and school work. Worse
yet they might want to t in and
become a member of a gang, try
drugs or other illegal activity.
Sometimes parents dont realize it
until the child reaches their teens
and they start to see who they
hang around with or a change in
their attitudes and school work.

Question
In 1967 what
issue concerning
the separation of
church and state
would greatly
affect the Greater
Pittston Area?
1947 65 Years Ago
Borough council members of
Avoca, Pittston Township and
Dupont weighed the decision to
fight the Delaware & Hudson
Railroad in the courts over the
companys mandate to remove
manually operated crossing
gates at dangerous crossings,
replacing them with automatic
flashing signals.
Three crossings in the respec-
tive boroughs had experienced
several fatal accidents and,
because of the disagreement,
the Public Utility Commission
granted the railroad an exten-
sion to lay off watchmen at
the sites and replace them with
the new signals. Borough offi-
cials felt the answer to the con-
tinuing problem, although ex-
pensive, would be the construc-
tion of underpasses.
Attorneys expected the legal
battle to cost each borough
$500 and advised council mem-
bers to join forces to share in
cost. The first flashing red
signal was installed in New
Jersey in 1913, but railroad
watchmen operated their posts
at intersections across the coun-
try well into the 1950s.
Champ Brewery, formerly
Glennons, on North Main
Street was in receivership and
company employees and city
officials feared the sale would
end the presence of a brewery
in the city. Mr. Cohen, of Read-
ing, who headed a second hand
concern and Mr. Green, associ-
ated with Cooper Brewing
Interests of Philadelphia, were
both listed as successful bid-
ders. Roscoe Smith, of King-
ston, and Martin Monahan, of
Pittston, were named as receiv-
ers and petitioned the court to
award the property to the Phila-
delphia concern in order to
keep the brewery in operation.
According to the 1947-1948
Wilkes-Barre Record archives,
the Champ Brewery, of Pittston,
was sold at receivers sale to
Ted Smulowitz, owner of the
Lion Brewery. Champ Brewery
closed in 1948.
Rookie New York Yankees
pitcher Frank Spec Shea
had lunch at the Pittston Diner
with Russell Bufalino and
Peter Butera, both of Pittston,
and Angelo Pollizza of Dun-
more.
Shea was a major league
baseball pitcher from1947-
1955. He was credited with
winning two games for the
Yanks in the 1947 World Series.
In an impromptu interview, he
was asked, what he was doing
in Pittston. His reply was, I
dont know.
When informed he was in
Bucky Harris hometown, he
responded, Great Town. Shea
was a pitching consultant for
the 1984 Robert Redford film
The Natural.
1957 55 Years Ago
A blighted section of Pitt-

Structures in the area bordering

The Avoca Kitchen Band
was scheduled to play during a
hat fashion show sponsored by
the Ladies Auxiliary of Hose
Company #1 at the Hughestown
High School auditorium. The
unique band utilized kitchen
utensils and other household
items to create music.
Over 150 delegates attended a
reception held in the V.F.W. Fort
Pittston post home in support of
the Korean Bonus Bill. Com-
mander Charles Adonizio of
VFW Post 635 and Anthony
Forlenza Anthracite Counties
Council VFW Junior Vice
Commander asked that all local
posts campaign in support of
the bonus. The bill cleared the
Pennsylvania Legislature and
was placed before the people
for approval. The Bonus Bill
provided additional monies to
be paid to soldiers who served
during the Korean Conflict.
Pennsylvania Governor David
L. Lawrence eventually signed
the bill into law in April of
1959.
1967 45 Years Ago
Avoca cousins Specialist 4
Frank P. Donahue Jr. and
Specialist 4 William Burnside
Jr. served during the Vietnam
War. Specialist Donahue was
stationed at Pleiku in the cen-
tral highlands and Specialist
Burnside was stationed at Pho
Cat some 50 miles away. The
cousins hoped to have a reunion
there. Donahue, moved by the
condition of the clothing worn
by children at a local orphan-
age, asked that anyone who
may have extra childrens cloth-
ing to send it to him and he
would deliver it to the orphan-
age.
Pittston residents, priests and

ot since Bob Hope, John
P. Cosgrove says, has he
seen an entertainer more
dedicated to serving Americas
men in uniform than actor Gary
Sinise. And Cosgrove, Pittston
native who spent the past 70-plus
years in the media in Washing-
ton, D.C., should know. He knew
Bob Hope and worked alongside
him on several projects.
Sinise, best known for his role
as Lt. Dan in the 1994 movie
Forrest Gump, has become a
supporter of all those in military
service but especially amputees.
In the movie, Sinises character
loses both his legs in action in
Vietnam.
Cosgrove was on hand recent-
ly as Sinise was honored by the
U.S. Navy as an Honorary Chief
Petty Officer in a ceremony at
the Navy Memorial on Pennsyl-
vania Avenue. The Navy has de-
clared 2012 the Year of the
Chief.
Chief Petty Officer is the sev-
enth enlisted rank in the U.S. Na-
vy and U.S. Coast Guard, just
above Petty Officer First Class
andbelowSenior Chief PettyOf-
ficer, and is a senior non-com-
missioned officer. The grade of
Chief Petty Officer was estab-
lished on April 1, 1893, for the
Navy.
Himself a U.S. Navy World
War II veteran, Cosgrove called
the chief the backbone of the
Navy.
The official kick-off of the
Year of the Chief and the 119th
birthday celebration of the chief
petty officer took place during a
ceremony April 2 at the Navy
Memorial. Cosgrove, who will
note his 94th birthday next
month, is a member of the Board

F
or the better part of two
decades, Keller Williams
has spent countless hours
traveling the country and playing
every venue from small cafes to
large festivals. All the footwork
has paid off for the one man jam
band as he is now able to enjoy
some relaxation from life on the
road, and still find time to play to
his loyal fans, like his upcoming
show at the
Sherman The-
atre in Strouds-
burg on Friday.
Im at home
during the
week, and I go
out and play
during the
weekends, he
said. I have
two kids
theyre four and
seven and
theres all kinds
of things going
on in that
world. Theres
a few (free)
hours in be-
tween taking them places, pick-
ing them up, and doing things
with them. Im constantly trying
to find new chord progressions
and giving myself writing as-
signments and things to write
about. Thats what I do when Im
home and not shuttling my kids
around or spending time with
them. Once I try to do something
as far as write songs, it never re-
ally happens. So Im trying to
subliminally let it sneak up on
me. Thats my world in a nut-
shell.
When he does find time to
write new music, Williams has a
track record of cranking out in-
fectious jams that have become
the nucleus of his always-upbeat
solo shows.
However, in July Williams re-
leased the album Pick, which
finds him in the rare setting of
being in a band.
Williams has played with
many notable bands in the past
(Keller and the Keels, and with
the String Cheese Incident as
The Keller Williams Incident),
but for Pick he dug a little deeper
in the formof famed string outfit
the Traveling McCourys.
All those songs started off as
solo songs, so its not really that
difficult to go up there and play
them live (in a solo show). Its
muchbetter, I think, whentheres
other humans involved. Espe-
cially with the
McCourys,
man; theyre
just the cool-
est. Its so in-
credible to be
involved in
their world
their expertise
with their in-
struments and
their voices.
Its one of
those few in-
stances on
stage where I
get goose
bumps being
up there. That
hasnt hap-
pened as much as Id like.
While he focuses more on live
shows than record sales Id be
fine in never selling another re-
cord and giving it all away for
free Williams is well-aware of
a different tool in getting his
music heard, something he car-
ried over from his years of fol-
lowing the Grateful Dead on tour
the taper community.
It did wonders for my career
because there was noevidence of
any type of label that would send
my music out to the West Coast
or whatever, he said. The tap-
ing community definitely ab-
sorbed me and it definitely isnt
what it used to be, but its still
there lingering in the strato-
sphere.
As for his short run of solo
shows, including his stop in
Stroudsburg, Williams is look-
ing forward to doing what he
does best jamming out with his
long-time fans who have helped
make his shows more of a dance
party than an actual concert.
Unfortunately, I havent been
blessed with a plethora of new,
original songs, but Im always
learning new songs some of
them familiar and some ob-
scure, he said. So theres al-
ways new songs coming and go-
inginthe set. Theres new, updat-
ed gear and equipment, or toys if
you will, that I think make the
dance vibe a little more interest-
ing.
Although Williams is a staple
at mostly every festival in the
country, the more intimate
shows are a favorite of his, as he
gets to have more interaction
with his fans, and also give a lit-
tle bit of history about the rooms
he plays in.
Im really elated to play a
bunch of super cool old theaters
like the Sherman, he said.
Hearing old stories of how you
walk out on the stage (at the
Sherman) and it dips down in the
middle. Many, many years ago,
one of the first shows at the Sher-
man was like a circus and they
walked these elephants out on
the stage and thats kind of where
the stage gets its little dip. Hear-
ing stories like that is amazing
history of these rooms. Playing
places like that is reallywhere its
at for me. The folks in Strouds-
burg have always been really
awesome towards me and my
show. Im really excited to come
back.
And the beat goes on...

1977 35 Years Ago
Overcoming numerous de-
lays, the American Theatre in
Pittston was set to reopen after
undergoing extensive reno-
vations. According to an article
in The Sunday Dispatch, the
theatre was built in 1924 by the
Comerford Amusement Com-
pany and was the eighth theatre
in the country to offer movies
with sound produced by a ma-
chine called a Vitaphone. Pro-
jectionist Stanley Yanik re-
called problems with the ma-
chine skipping, especially when
the Main Street Trolley rum-
bled by. The theatre, originally
used for stage shows, was one
of the last old-time movie
houses promising to only run
family-oriented movies.
The Wyoming Valley Coin
Club minted its first in a series
of commemorative coins de-
picting the Laurel Line and past
modes of travel in the Wyom-
ing Valley. On May 20, 1903, a
formal opening of the Laurel
Line took place, offering ser-
vice between Pittston and
Scranton. The fare was 20 cents
one-way and 30 cents round
trip. The line was the first in
the U.S. to successfully oper-
ate by means of an electrified
third rail. Passenger service
continued until Dec. 31, 1952
when, before the stroke of mid-
night, the last train left Wilkes-
Barre. The joining of the Pitt-
ston and Anthracite Valley Coin
Clubs in 1967 formed the
Wyoming Valley Coin Club.
According to the web site
www.ochmans.com, the coin
club meets every month at the
VFW Post 415 in Duryea.
St. Marys Polish National
Catholic Church in Duryea
reorganized its Mandolin Club.
Director Charles Mustinski,
along with Stanley Kunigel Sr.
and Emil Swantkowski, invited
students from 8 years of age
and older to attend a free of
charge instruction program
Answer
With 11 parochial schools in
the Greater Pittston Area, the
state and federal issue of pro-
viding government aid to ailing
parochial and private schools
became a hot topic in 1967. If
aid was denied, transfer of more
than 2,500 area students to the
public school system would
cost more than $1 million. Pro-
ponents of the assistance ar-
gued that parents pay tuition to
their schools but still pay taxes
to their respective school dis-
tricts. Many felt government aid
crossed the line of the sep-
aration of church and state.
Anyone can carry his burden,
however hard, until nightfall.
Anyone can do his work, how-
ever hard, for one day. Anyone
can live sweetly, patiently, lov-
ingly, purely, till the sun goes
down. And, this is all life really
means.

of Directors of the Navy Memo-
rial, serving as secretary. He is
the longest serving member of
the board.
Cosgrove pointed out that on
October 13, which is also the
237th birthday of the U.S. Navy,
the 25th anniversary of the Navy
Memorial will be noted along
with the 25th anniversary of the
Lone Sailor.
According to the Navy Memo-
rial website, The Lone Sailor, a
bronze sculpture honoring all
who served or are serving in the
Navy, is a composite of the U.S.
Navy blue jacket, past, present
and future. Hes called the Lone
Sailor, yet he is hardly ever
alone, standing there on the
broad granite plaza which forms
the amphitheater of the Navy
Memorial. Visitors to the Me-
morial are immediately drawn to
him to peer into his far seeing
eyes, to admire him or size him
up, to see if hes as tough or as
gentle as he seems.
The founders of the Navy
Memorial envisioned this Lone
Sailor at 25 years old at most, a
senior second class petty officer
who is fast becoming a seagoing
veteran. He has done it all fired
his weapons in a dozen wars,
weighed anchor froma thousand
ports, tracked supplies, doused
fires, repelled boarders, typed in
quadruplicate and mess-cooked,
too. He has made liberty call in
great cities and tiny villages,
where he played tourist, ambas-
sador, missionary to the poor,
adventurer, souvenir shopper
and friend to new lands. His
shipmates remember him with
pride and tell their grandchildren
stories, some of which, like him,
are seven feet tall.
Cosgrove said conferring the
rank of chief on Sinise is entirely
appropriate and fitting. He has
been a leader at Memorial Day
services in the capital for each of
the past several years and has
dedicated a great deal of his time
to our men and women in uni-
form, he said.
Cosgrove began a personal re-
lationship with Sinise a few
years ago during Memorial Day
weekend. He wanted to see the
Newseum, Cosgrove said, and
I was only too happy to play
host. The Newseum is an inter-
active museum dedicated to
news and journalism located on
Pennsylvania Avenue. It is also
Cosgroves address. He lives in
an upper-story condominium in
the building.
Sinise was so impressed with
the Newseumthat he sent for his
mom, dad, uncle and children
and, with Cosgrove as host, all
enjoyed an impromptu Memo-
rial Day picnic on the rooftop
deck which provides one of the
best views of the Capitol in the
city.
Sinise and Cosgrove have
been friends since.
Im not much for auto-
graphs, Cosgrove said, but I
had a photo of the two of us with
Miss America from this years
Memorial Day parade and at the
Honorary Chief ceremony I
asked Gary if he would sign it for
me. Of course he obliged. Ive
been so impressed with him and
the role hes assumed toward the
military that I consider the photo
something special.
For the record, Cosgrove, who
grew up on Main Street Pittston,
has had his photo taken with ev-
ery U.S. president since Herbert
Hoover.
Sinise is co-founded the Lt.
DanBand, inwhichhe plays bass
guitar, to entertain U.S. troops
and raise money for gravely
wounded warriors. The Gary
Sinise Foundation was formed in
2010 and is dedicated to serving
the United States by honoring its
defenders, veterans, first respon-
ders, their families and those in
need. For more, go to www.gary-
sinisefoundation.org
Note: John P. Cosgrove has
donated his lifes collection of
books, letters and memorabilia
to the Pittston Memorial Library
in his hometown. Aportion of the
collection is on permanent dis-
play at the library and an addi-
tion, the Cosgrove Wing, is being
added to house the collection
and to provide needed space for
library projects including an in-
tergenerational program. The li-
brary is conducting a capital
fund drive for the expansion.

Thats what cancer survivor
Floss Babiarz was feeling last
Sunday afternoon at a benefit in
her honor at the Greenwood
Hose Company.
Many family, friends, and sup-
porters attended to showsupport
for the Avoca native who nowre-
sides in Old Forge.
I appreciate everyones love,
its very heartwarming, Babiarz
told the gathering who dined on
delicacies donated by several ar-
ea restaurants and purchased raf-
fle tickets on dozens of specialty
baskets, all also donated.
Babiarz shared a night to re-
member with the people that
care about her and want to see
her get well.
I will not let this beat me,
rather I will beat it, she pro-
nounced to rousing applause.
Barbiarz managed to work the
room with her charm and spirit,
personally thanking everyone
for coming to support her.
When asked What is the next
step? her replywas, Tomorrow
Ill find out. It is what it is. She
had an appointment Monday at
Fox Chase Cancer Treatment
Center in Philadelphia. She did
tell the crowd the prognosis was
good.

Dupont Borough officials will
hold a special Council meeting
at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 26
in the James Cocco Council
Chambers at the Dupont Munici-
pal Building for the purpose of
opening bids for the street pav-
ing project on Walnut and Oak
Streets and Lidys Road.
Borough Engineer Bob Nae-
gele will have on display the new
flood maps prepared by PEMA,
DEMA and DCED, giving bor-
ough residents an opportunity to

Officials meet Carroll
Greater Pittston Area munici-
pal officials attended a meeting
on Sept. 14 hosted by State Rep-
resentative Michael Carroll at
the Dupont Municipal Office to
discuss the budget shortfalls and
limited state grant monies facing
the already financially-strapped
municipalities. The meetingpur-
pose was to provide an educa-
tional approach about shared
municipal services, discussing
advantages and disadvantages
and the potential political pitfalls
in the process of developing
shared services. The biggest ex-
penses for most communities are
police services. Representative
Carroll stated programs that, in
the past, have helped to fund
grants for police cruisers, etc. are
now gone.
The only financial resources
available to municipalities are
the LSA gaming monies which
will now have all municipalities
competing for limited funding. It
will be impossible to deliver a
grant to each municipality every
year and what Representative
Carroll is hoping to accomplish
from the meeting is to measure
the willingness of other commu-
nities toparticipate insharedser-
vices. He noted the success of
the regional compost facility in
Greater Pittston. Seven munici-
palities are part of this shared
service and were able to secure
grant funding in the amount of
over $450,000. Carroll indicated
he is willing to bring the chief of
a regional police department and
someone from DCED to go over
the Governors Center Program
where they discuss studies on re-
gionalization.
The next meeting of commu-
nity leaders will be held at 7 p.m.
on Wednesday, Oct. 12 in the Du-
pont Council Chambers.

Pittston Area quarterback
James Emmett doesnt show off
his arm often, but when he does,
it can be dangerous for oppo-
nents.
Just ask Tunkhannock.
Emmett connected on 5-of-7
passes for 166 yards, including
three touchdowns, to lead the Pa-
triots to a 47-0 win over the Ti-
gers on Friday night.
On the first play of the game,
Emmett threw a picture-perfect
pass from his 30-yard line down
the right sideline, meeting wide
receiver Jordan Housemann in
stride. Housemann was brought
down at Tunkhannocks 12.
That 58-yard completion set
up a touchdown pass to Kyle
Gattuso with 10:44 remaining in
the first quarter.
James has a very, very good
arm, Pittston Area coach Mike
Barrett said. He doesnt always
have the confidence to throwand
hell hold back sometimes, but
his arm is strong.
With 3:56 left in the first quar-
ter, Emmett found Hassan Max-
well over the middle for a 30-
yard touchdown to cap a seven-
play, 63-yard drive.
The Patriots got the ball back
three plays later after a leaping
interception by Mike Schwab,
who returned the pick 43 yards
to set up a Kyle Gattuso 2-yard
touchdown run, stretching the
lead to 20-0 with 2:24 remaining
in the first quarter.
Justin Wilk broke the game
open with 7:29 left in the second
quarter with a 72-yard touch-
down, bursting through a hole up
the middle untouched. Wilk
rushed for 95 yards on four car-
ries. The team rushed for 262 on
23 carries. Zach Erfman had 71
yards on six carries
The Patriots took a 26-0 lead
into halftime.
In the second half, the Em-
mett-Housemann connection
wasnt finished. On their first
possession of the third quarter,
Emmett found Housemann yet
again along the right sideline for
a 64-yard touchdown to give the
Patriots a 33-0 lead.
When I dropped back, the
line was blocking perfect to-
night, Emmett said. House-
mann got open and I was able to
find him. He made some big
plays.
Houseman, in his first action
of the season, caught two pases
for 122 yards and the Td.
Pittston Areas defense stifled

Our kids really practiced
hard this week, Barrett said.
We have some inexperience
and the last few weeks I didnt
think we played too bad, but we
shot ourselves in the foot at
times. We just want to develop
our fundamentals. Imvery hap-
py for our kids to get a win like
that.

Anna Malsky was the Queen
of the Wyoming Area Home-
coming Friday night and Nick
OBrien was King of stats in the
43-8 victory of Hanover.
The first quarter was unevent-
ful. Wyoming Area barely even
had the ball in their hands due to
Hanover taking their opening
drive and using up almost ten
minutes of the clock, but when
WA did get the ball on their side
of the field, the made sure not to
keep it too long.
The Warriors had the ball on
the 41 yard line with 8:36 in the
second quarter when Nick
OBrien took the snap under
center. OBrien was able to find
a hole up the middle, passing a
defender out and then found a
crease between two more com-
ing at him from both sides.
OBrien shook them off with a
spin move and then raced in for
the touchdown. That put the
Warriors up 6-0 after a missed
extra-point.
Hes One of those premier
players, said WA Head Coach
Randy Spencer. Hes got that
ability to do those things.
WA was right back at it
though. Cody Schmitz intercept-
edthe ball andset upopportunity
for another OBrien long Td run.
OBrien took the QBkeep and
slipped through defenders up the
middle. He broke two more tack-
les, regained his balance, and ran
down the field for a 46-yard
touchdown. WA completed the
two point conversion attempt
with a pass reception by Jordan
Zezza for 14-0.
Every time I touch the ball I
want to score, said OBrien. He
almost pulled that off as four of
his seven carries were Td runs.
OBrien finished with 193 rush-
ing yards on 7 attempts for a
whopping25yards-per-carryav-
erage
After the second O;Brien Td,
Wyoming Area held Hanover
and forced them to punt. Cody
Schmitz took the punt and ran
down the left sideline for a spe-
cial teams touchdown. The
touchdownwas set upthough, by
a monster block by OBrien put-
ting the Hanover defender on his
back. The Warriors were then up
22-0 after a completed pass in
the end zone by OBrien to Trent
Grove.
It went to 29-0 on a 6-yard Td
run by OBrien with 42 seconds
left in the first half set up by his
74-yard pass to Jordan Zezza.
Hanover would get in with a
late touchdown but not before
the Warriors scored two more
times to make it 43-0 on a 66-
yardrunbyOBrienanda 5-yard
run by Zak LaNunziata.
The Warriors (2-2) are at Nan-
ticoke Friday.

A 60-mile bus ride didnt
bother the Lady Patriot field
hockey team. They went up to
Montrose on Thursday and won
easily 8-0. Junior Dana Maurizi
had a career day scoring four
goals assisted by Alana Platukus
on a corner, Liz Mikitish twice,
and Emily Herron. Julie Lieback
scored on a corner assisted by
Alexa Danko, who also assisted
Platukus on one of her two goals.
Paige Danko also scored.
For the Patriots it was their
fourth consecutive win since
they dropped their opener to
Northwest. PA coach Caitlin
Hadzimichalis said the girls are
improving. They are definitely
getting better every game, she
said. In our first game we had a
lot of opportunities and didnt
finish, now we are finding ways
to finish.
Todays game with Wyoming
Area is anexhibition. PAis inDi-
vision3andtheydont cross over
to Division 2. WA is in Division
2.
Asked if she expects the game
to be competitive or a game
where everyone plays, Hadzim-
ichalis said, Both. Well try to
get everybody in, but both teams
take it pretty seriously.
The Patriots also shut out Ber-
wick this week 3-0 on Wednes-
day in Berwick. Nicole Chaiko
scored and dished out an assist
for PA. Dana Maurizi and Liz
Mikitish also scored for the Pa-
triots and Katrina Mikitish had
an assist.
PA outshot Berwick 18-4.
Though Wyoming Area is 1-6
four of their losses were to Divi-
sion 1 teams in crossover games
and another was a 2-1 loss to un-
beaten Holy Redeemer. Four of
their losses were to teams with a
combined record of 22-6. They
are better than the record.
More tough luck last week as
WA lost in overtime 3-2 to Divi-
sion 1 Delaware Valley after
leading 2-0 as late as 6:24 of the
second half. The Warriors got
first half goals from Serra Deg-
nan and on goals by Bree Bed-
narski. Del Val scored at 6:24,
then tied it 2:36 and won in over-
time.

It has been a year. A lot has
changed since that day in Sep-
tember, one year ago. But the
water receded; homes and busi-
nesses were cleaned, dried out
and re occupied. And that goes
for churches as well. The Salva-
tion Army, West Pittston Corps
has reopened and just held a
100th Anniversary Celebration
of its founding in the Garden
Village.
The celebration, held at Saint
Anthonys Hall was a smashing
success. Hundreds turned out to
help celebrate the 100th anni-
versary and to honor two of its
own. Michael and Sandy Insala-
co were recognized for the
Community Service Awards by
Major Sheryl Hershey, her staff
and the Members of the Adviso-
ry Council. There are so many
people to thank, I just dont
know where to start. says Ma-
jor Hershey. Add in the other
service clubs, organizations and
businesses and the numbers
soar. Thank you everyone,
says Hershey. There are so
manythat tostart namingnames
is almost impossible. And the
worst case is if we forget some-
one. So Thank you all for the
aid, help and assistance to every
single person, organization and
business that gave of them-
selves to help us celebrate the
momentous occasion.
