Today concludes the first
Lent in the past 30 years that
Ive allowed myself to consume
alcohol.
I began fasting on beer in
the early 80s because an older
guy I worked with at the time
always did and it seemed in-
credibly cool. Wed do a count-
down to midnight on Holy
Saturday as Joe Luke prepared
to pop his first ring tab in 40
days and the look on his face
told me there was something to
this I must experience myself.
Fasting is in quotes above
because what Catholics from
the time they are children are
taught to do during Lent to
give up something they enjoy
is not fasting per se but abstain-
ing. As a kid Id fast on gum
or candy or potato chips but
never with much success.
Beer was another story. I was
not a heavy drinker, but I en-
joyed a beer or two and getting
through Lent without one was
something I was highly motiva-
ted to achieve. It was a sacrifice
to be sure after all, St. Pa-
tricks Day falls during Lent
but also an opportunity to show
myself who was boss, and this I
deemed extremely important.
Come to think of it, it was St.
Patricks Day of 1985 ah, I
remember it well that brought
me to expand my Lenten fast
from beer to all alcoholic bev-
erages.
My brother Bill, who was
living out of town at the time,
perhaps Texas then, although it
could have been New Orleans,
happened to be visiting. He
invited me out for dinner. We
wound up at Arcaro and Ge-
nells, one of our favorite Italian
places in Old Forge, where I
explained I would have only a
glass of red wine because I was
fasting on beer.
I might have had the second
glass I dont remember but
I do recall Bill suggesting we
head to downtown Pittston after
dinner to see if any of the old
gang was around. That was a
time when the bars downtown
the places where Bill and I had
spent a lot of time during our
early 20s were still hoppin
and we knew darned well the
old gang would most certainly
be around.
We walked into Lous Place,
which might have been called
Bottoms Up by then, through
the back entrance and it was
wall to wall people. Im not
having a beer, I told Bill, but
if I drink red wine all night Ill
be plastered. So, I think Ill
switch to bourbon.
I wound up missing the entire
next day of work.
That was the last hangover I
had until one morning during
this past Lent. Sorry, but Im
not going into the details.
Lets just say I decided early
this Lent to give myself dis-
pensation on one occasion and,
like eating peanuts, couldnt
seem to stop.
The first dispensation was for
a visit with my son in Chicago,
to which he moved at the start
of the year. Mary Kay and I met
Michael and the lady in his life
for brunch, which of course
called for bloody marys, and
likewise, wine at dinner while
we were there was a given.
I returned home committed
to get back on track when along
came the Greater Pittston
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick
Banquet on March 17 and I
figured: what the heck? At the
cocktail hour John Terrana said
hed love a manhattan but his
doctor forbade him, so I volun-
teered to have one for him. It
seemed charitable.
It also made it easier to stop
at Rooneys Irish Pub after the
banquet. Who knew they had
Guinness on draft?
Well, I guess I did.
What I didnt know was that
my old buddy Moe Mullarkey
would be lurking at the corner
of the bar. While it didnt turn
into 1985, I will admit Moe and
I did our Irish ancestors proud.
It didnt stop there.
When a couple of my old
high school chums Joe Leone
and Tony Alu he the former
lead singer of the band The
Cadillacs told me they were
forming a duet and their first
gig was to be at Cuzs Susque-
hanna Bar one Friday night, I
knew I must be in attendance
but I vowed all I would do is
sip on a Coke. Enough was
enough, I said.
Then the bartender handed
me a beer and said it was from
that lady over there, Tonys wife
Kathy. What was I supposed to
do, send it back?
Finally, when my friend Al-
bert Kridlo asked if Id consider
joining him and two other pals
on a trip to Arlington National
Cemetery in Washington, D.C.
to commemorate the 35th birth-
day of his son Dale who was
killed in the line of duty in
Afghanistan on Nov. 5, 2010,
how could I say no, even
though I knew wed be propos-
ing a toast or two? We tend to
toast Dales heroism with
Crown Royal, his favorite, and
suffice it to say we toasted him
heartily during our trip.
All of which has taken the
fun right out of today. I might
have a drink with Easter dinner
but it just wont be the same.

rom the mall and the resi-
dential areas along the by-
pass to the truck stops, re-
tail supercenters andmajor chain
restaurants lining busy State
Highway 315. Fromthe mega in-
dustrial parks and distribution
centers employing 3,000 work-
ers on Oak, Armstrong and Sus-
con roads to bucolic rural subdi-
visions nestled in hollows on the
ridge of the Pocono Mountains.
And from the International Air-
port to the massive swamps
draining State Game Lands 91,
Pittston Township puts the
greater in Greater Pittston.
As the largest of the local com-
munities at 19 square miles, the
township is a bear to police, in
more ways than one.
Sometimes we chase bears
around, said Sgt. Lena Angelel-
la, the officer in charge of the
Pittston Township Police De-
partment. Last summer, there
was a bear on Oak Street. He was
eating out of the dumpster be-
hind a bar and he just wasnt
leaving.
Angelella suspects the bear,
one of many which live in the
township and prompt police
calls, was uprooted from its den
by development in the nearby
CenterPointe Commerce and
Trade Park.
Development is the operative
word in the township. Were
growing, Angelella said. I
think we have over 100 business-
es. Right now, theyre preparing
the land for a newindustrial park
going up on Armstrong Road
across from UPS.
Traffic accidents on State
Route 315 keep the townships
police department of three full-
timers and nine part-timers busy.
Angelella runs split shifts with
herself and a part-time officer
fromnoon to 8:30 p.m. to handle
calls. With a Pilot Truck Stop,
Walmart Supercenter, hotels and
restaurants, along with entrances
and exits for I-81 and the turn-
pike on a1and1/2 mile stretch of
Route 315, traffic can get chaot-
ic.
At 3:00, 315 explodes, An-
gelella said. From three to
eight, its a raceway. People see
us up there at crashes and youd
think theyd slow down, but they
dont. Accidents have doubled in
the past few years. We had 319
last year, 50 more than the year
before. Some departments dont
have 50 in a year. We get an enor-
mous amount of tractor trailers,
probably triple from a few years
ago. They used to turn onto Oak
to go to the old Walmart; now
they go straight on 315 to go to
the new one.
The Mohegan Sun casino has
also increased traffic on Route
315, especially in the evening,
with a lot of that traffic coming
from the Poconos and the Phila-
delphia area, as the officers have
learned through stops and acci-
dents.
The Walmart Supercenter,
which opened in November
2010, has also increased retail
theft calls for the townships po-
lice.
Angelella estimates that, on
two out of the five days shes on
duty and on three out of four
weekends, township police have
someone in custody by 3:30 in
the afternoon. Usually its not a
first offense, its a third or fourth.
That ties up an officer who has to
take the offender to the magist-
rate.
On average, the township po-
lice will file more than70 cita-
tions a month with the magist-
rate and make 25 arrests, three
for felonies.
Amidst the accidents, retail
thefts, DUIs and domestic dis-
putes, township police also pa-
trol Route 502 and Suscon Road
where speeding is an issue.
There are a lot of crashes on
those roads and we try to make
people aware we are up there,
Angelella said.
A15-year-oldgirl was killedin
a Suscon Road wreck in January
2010. A year earlier, a young
man was killed in a motorcycle
accident near the same spot. An-
gelella was working when the
girl was killed and it was emo-
tional for her. You have to finish
your shift and then somebody
might say something like, that
cop was rude and all I did was
ask for directions, she said.
But how do you shake some-
thing like that? People forget
youre human.
The vastness of the area be-
tween Suscon Road and Route
502, including thousands of
acres of woods, can make for a
long response time to a call. For
example, it would take an officer
patrolling Suscon Road 20 min-

utes to get to a call on Route 502.
Angelella said when she
joined the Pittston Township po-
lice force in 1997, calls to break
up underage drinking parties in
wooded areas such as Devils
Falls in Suscon were fairly com-
mon, but theyare rare these days.
There are so many places to go,
there is always that potential,
she said, but these days we get
more calls to homes than in the
woods. I guess the kids today are
lazy, she said laughing. Its too
much work to go out in the
woods and start a fire for a par-
ty.
Angelella said calls to the
townships three bars the By
Pass Lounge, Bar on Oak and
Millers are rare. They are all
pretty quiet, she said. Really,
not a problem at all.
The township police respon-
ded to more than 1,700 calls last
year, not includingthe 319traffic
accidents. Given the rural nature
of much of the township, among
the more than 1,700 calls were a
fewfor lost hunters. We hadone
hunter who came out of the
woods, then went back in, An-
gelella said. I think he forgot
something in his tree stand. He
got disoriented and couldnt find
his wayout. It was coldandrainy.
We responded, the fire depart-
ment responded and they got
him out.
While many of the calls are
fairly routine, crazy stuff does
happen. In January, a man was
taken into custody after he alleg-
edly discharged two rounds from
a rifle and hit a residence being
used as the municipal tax office.
Heres the crazy part: the alleged
shooter was described as par-
tially nude.
It goes to show you never
know whats going to happen,
Angelella said. That was a Fri-
day. I just walked in the office. I
was out all day and said today
Imgoing home at 3:30. I didnt
get home until 1:00 in the morn-
ing.
On top of everything else, the
township also has an officer on
duty at the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre International Airport 16
hours a day, seven days a week, a
position funded by a grant from
the Transportation Security Ad-
ministration (TSA.)
Angelella was born and raised
in Pittston Township, where her
father John was the fire chief. He
died of a heart attack fighting a
fire on the bypass 30 years ago
when his daughter was just 7
years old.
Today, her Uncle Anthony An-
gelella is the fire chief and his
son and grandson by the same
name are fire fighters.
Angelella said because she
grew up in the township and be-
cause of her family legacy of
public service, she feels a special
connection.
I dont know. Its hard to de-
scribe, she said. Its different
because I have a love for the
town.

Michael Insalacos story, born
of his proud immigrant heritage
in Luzerne County, is one of en-
trepreneurial achievement.
When he sawa need for a good
family grocery in his communi-
ty, he acted. He opened a small
store and he and his brothers
built it intoa thrivingchainof su-
permarkets, creating employ-
ment and providing important
services for the people of the re-
gion.
With characteristic humility,
he has always maintained that it
was the support and friendship
of his neighbors to which he
owed his success.
Throughout his life, he contin-
ued to express his gratitude for
that friendship and support, and,
consequently, has given new
depth to the idea of caring for
ones neighbor. Both as donors
and as active volunteers, the In-
salacos have contributed gener-
ously and unfailingly to charita-
ble causes and educational insti-
tutions that serve and benefit its
citizens.
For Michael Insalaco, it all be-
gan with some fruits and vegeta-
bles and a dream. Along with
his brothers, Sandy, Leonard and
Vincent, he started quite humbly
in 1947, at a corner in Pittston
selling produce to local resi-
dents.
Through all of his professional
accomplishments, Michael and
his wife, Dolores, built some-
thing equally significant: their
family. Nothing to them is more
important than their three chil-
dren Karen, Diane and Leo-
nard and their four grandchil-
dren Megan, Connor, Eric and
Dana.
Sandy Insalaco started his ca-
reer with his brother Michael
over 50 years ago. The family
business grew from one store to
14 stores in four counties in
Northeastern Pennsylvania. In-
salaco Supermarkets was then
sold to Penn Traffic Company in
1993.
Sandy is a principal in Insala-
co Development Group which
develops, owns, and manages
commercial real estate proper-
ties located in New York, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
He is a director and former
chairman of Landmark Commu-
nity Bank headquartered in Pitt-
ston.
He is a member of the Boardof
Trustees of Misericordia Univer-
sity where he served as Chair-
man of the Board for five years.
Sandy served on the Board of
Directors and Chairman of Af-
filiated Food Distributors, Inc.
The wholesale food cooperative
served over 250 stores in New
York, New Jersey, and Pennsyl-
vania.
He served on the Board of Di-
rectors of the Mercy Healthcare
Foundation where he also served
as Chairman.
Sandy is currently the Presi-
dent and CEO of Natures Way
Purewater, Inc.
The water bottling company is
located in Pittston, and serves
Wal-Mart, Wegmans, Star-
bucks, Trader Joes, Whole
Foods, Fresh Markets, and other
national accounts.
Sandy has been married to the
former Marlene Nardone for 46
years. They have two sons and
five grandchildren.
The awards dinner is part of a
weeklong celebration marking
the Salvation Armys 100th anni-
versary in West Pittston.

J
ordan Tarter insists the Anti-
Bullying Awareness Con-
cert on Saturday, April 14 at
the KISS Theater at the Wyom-
ing Valley Mall isnt about her.
Maybe not, but it wouldnt exist
without her.
Jordan, a 14-year-old Pittston
Area eighth-grader and aspiring
singer/songwriter, organized the
event and will be the host.
She got the idea to raise anti-
bullying awareness after wit-
nessing bullying. Its every-
where, everyday, on the bus, in
school, she said.
The event will include approx-
imately 10 acts, including a kar-
ate demonstration, dancing and
singers.
Tarter will perform a hip-hop
song and dance routine with a
dance troupe to the song Whos
Laughing Now.
Shes also going to sing an
original song shes working on
about bullying.
Dave Baloga, KISS director,
will also perform a song.
Individuals who have been
victims of bullying will also take
the stage to tell stories of how
they have been bullied and how
they struggled to overcome it.
Pat Rushton, director of the
Victims Resource Center, will
have an information kiosk and
will speak about how he and the
center can help.
There is no charge for admis-
sion, but there will be a donation
bucket. Event sponsors are
KISS, GAYNEPA, and the Di-
versity Partnership of the Lu-
zerne Foundation.
Money donated above the cost
of the concert will be donated to
Pacers National Bullying Cen-
ter.
Brochures and fliers explain-
ing the role of Pacers will be
available in the lobby.
Tarter has been involved with
KISS (Kid Innovations Stage
and Sound), a community thea-
ter for kids, for about four years
and calls it her second home. She
won the lead role in the KISSup-
coming production of Foot-
loose.
Tarter has performed at the
Pittston Tomato Festival, Saints
and Sinners in Pittston and the
Naked Grape in Plains, among
other venues.
We want to let kids knowit is
alright to stand up for others or if
you see bullying happening or to
tell someone, she said. She gets
frustrated when she witnesses
bullying, when the most she can
do about it is maybe offer to sit
next to a victim on the bus.
Tarter sees the Anti-Bullying
Awareness Concert as a chance
to finally do something.
I cant wait to open some
eyes, she said.

Jerry Mullarkey, Executive
Director of the Pittston Commu-
nity Development Authority,
submitted a letter to the city in-
dicating his intent to retire.
The retirement is effective
June 30.
Mullarkey, 67, has been in-
volved with city authorities for
40 years, starting with the hous-
ing authority. Housing offices
were at various times inthe Dime
Bank and in the old Pittston Ga-
zette Building on Broad Street.
In the early1990s Mullarkey was
appointed Executive Director of
the Community Development
Authority, also known as the
Housing Authority, with an of-
fice in city hall.
City manager Joe Moskovitz
said its a busy time for the rede-
velopment office, but he doesnt
anticipate a problem. Theres a
lot going on in that office, Mos-
kovitz said. The Gilbro and the
Main Street condo project are at
critical junctures, but I dont
think therell be any lag time of
interruption in the progress.
The Gilbro project is the pro-
posed construction of an office
and retail building at the corner
of William and Main by the Gil-
christ brothers and SamFalcone.
The condo project Moskovitz re-
ferred to involves the old Burne
Building between Kennedy and
Main Streets, where Harry Sala-
vantis has plans to build loft-
style apartments.
Former mayor Mike Lombar-
do is on the authority board. He
joked that Mullarkey may not be
finished working saying, he
may become a roadie for Bruce
Springsteen. Mullarkey is an
enormous Springsteen fan and
has been to numerous Spring-
steen concerts.
Turning serious, Lombardo
said, Were sad to see him go.
He has a long list of accomplish-
ments and Im proud to have
worked with him.
Mullarkeys wife Ann Marie is
retired and they have adult chil-
dren and grandchildren who live
out of the area, a likely factor in
the retirement decision. Mullar-
key could not be reached in time
for this story.
The mayor, city council and
the authority board will meet to
discuss options for replacing
Mullarkey.

As the cartoon on this page illustrates
Easter is a time for Christians to celebrate
the Resurection of their Lord and perhaps
spring is a time for the citizens of West
Pittston and the West Pittston Tormorrow
organization to continue their plan to res-
urrect their town from the ravages of the
Sepetmber 2011 flood.
Its a difficult task and we wish them
well and will continue to followtheir pro-
gress and help where we can.
The number one topic at the previous
West Pittston Tomorrow meetings has
been mitigation. Is there a way, short of
walling the town off with dikes, to prevent
another flood?
And if not, if a dike is the only answer,
where would the millions it would take to
build it come from?
Of course, only the federal government
could build a dike. Maybe things will
change, but giventhe state of the economy
and the scrutiny of govenment spending
these days, its unlikely to happen any
time soon.
Its a dilemma, but if anyone can solve it
its the folks from the Garden Village.
Perfect time
for renewal

Like water and floods, bullying in
schools is something thats always been
around. It might be said it was an accepted
part of high school culture, but thats no
longer the case.
Bullying is not a cause that can be fixed
by money, but simple awareness can help.
Thats why Pittston Area eighth grade Jor-
dan Tarter is organizing a anti-bulling va-
riety show.
Please see page 7 for details.
And Taylor, as they say in England, bul-
ly for you.
Stop bullying
Papa loves youthose were the last
words I said to my grandson, kissing him
on the forehead, as he sat in his car seat
waiting to leave our house with his par-
ents, Sara and Keith Thomas.
Luke Richard Thomas came into this
world on August 26, 2010. He was our
first grandchild. He was absolutely beau-
tiful, like a little angel.
When Luke was born, his one foot was
turned up and in. They call this a clubbed
foot. When he was a month old, Luke was
fitted with cast from his foot to right
above his knee. Every two weeks, the doc-
tor would remove the cast, adjust his foot
and re-apply a new cast. The cast didnt
seem to bother Luke a bit because when-
ever you would lay him on his back, he
would swing that leg around and pound it
on the surface like it weighed as light as a
feather. The only drawback was that he
was not able to wear shoes or pajamas or
outfits with feet.
As time went on, Luke needed to have
surgery to correct this problem. After sur-
gery, he was fitted with another cast for a
fewweeks and then a brace to finally cor-
rect his foot.
Almost every weekend, my daughter
and her family would travel fromReading
to spend the weekend with our families.
On Friday nights, the Martinelli family
would gather at our house to have pizza
and visit with Luke. On Sundays, we
would all go to church and then to great
grandparents, Rene and Isabels house,
for Sunday dinner with the Lucarella fam-
ily. These were all very special times.
I would hold and look at Luke and think
of all the fun we were going to have as he
grew up. If I had one influence on Luke,
with his parents consent, I made him an
honorary Green Bay Packer fan. This was
our special bond.
In February 2011, Luke and I watched
the Super Bowl together as Green Bay de-
feated the Pittsburgh Steelers. We were
both decked out in our green and gold.
This picture was the last one taken of us
together. To this day, I have a hard time
looking at it.
On Monday, April 11, 2011, at 5 a.m.,
my daughter and her family were getting
ready to drive to Childrens Hospital of
Philadelphia. This was the day we all
waited for as Luke was having his brace
removed. I put Luke in his car seat, kissed
himon his forehead and said, Papa loves
you.

There are countries onthis planet where
Bibles are burned every day. For that mat-
ter, there are countries on this planet
where Christians are burned.
We have freedom of religion here, but
we remind the haters of Christianity there
is no constitutional guarantee of freedom
from religion. Many Christians feel, and
with justification, we believe, that they
are the only group that it is still permis-
sible to ridicule. All others are off limits in
the name of tolerance. But thats okay.
Christians can take it.

The next day, Luke passed
from Sudden Infant Death Syn-
drome (SIDS).
In memory of Luke, a brick
was purchased and placed at
Lambeau Field, home of the
Green Bay Packers by Ross, Su-
zanne, Emily, Grace and Anna
Bratlee (my sister and her fam-
ily). Our family, including
Lukes little brother, Benjamin,
with any luck, will travel some-
day to Lambeau Field to person-
allysee this brick. I amsure Luke
will be there with us, on this spe-
cial day.
Our precious Little Luke was
here, even though a short time,
seven and a half months. He tou-
ched so many lives in our family,
friends and church family. We
take great comfort in knowing
we will all be together someday
and I can once again kiss him on
his forehead and say, Papa loves
you.

Act 13 amending Pennsylva-
nias Gas and Oil Act was recent-
ly passed by the Pennsylvania
State Legislature and signed by
Governor Corbett. Act 13 has
many aspects that are detrimen-
tal to our communities and citi-
zens.
Each county can decide if it
wants to impose Marcellus Shale
Impact fees on gas drillers in
their county. Soon the Luzerne
County Council will consider
that option.
Regardless of whether the
County Council decided to im-
pose Impact Fees or not, the
Council has already passed the
following resolution: That the
Luzerne County Council publi-
cly state its disapproval of the en-
actment of Act 113 by Pennsyl-
vanias legislative and executive
branches and that Luzerne coun-
ty support the efforts of other
governmental entities and other
organizations to challenge the
constitutionality of Act 113.
We urge others to express their
opinion on this matter to state
legislative officials and the gov-
ernor.

Our family would like to thank
everyone who was involved with
the Benefit for Ken Gorski.
Words cannot express our
gratitude for the immense out-
pouring of love and concern
from our family and friends, our
church and school families dur-
ing this difficult time. God has
blessed us with wonderful
friends for which we are truly
grateful.
Ken had a great time and it
meant the world to him to see all
of his family and friends come
together to support him in his
time of need. While it is true that
cancer changes your life forever,
our lives will forever be impact-
ed by the love and support shown
our family.
Thank you to everyone who
donated countless hours to plan
andworkat this wonderful event.
It was truly memorable.

AFSCME Chapter 8702
Wilkes-Barre will hold a meet-
ing at 1 p.m. on Thursday, April
19 at Norms Pizza, 275 N. Sher-
man St., Wilkes-Barre.
Mr. Dan Mazus, AFSCME
president from Harrisburg, will
speak on various issues and up-
dates.
As you know, we have not had
a COLA increase since 2001
which will be discussed. An up-
date on the new prescription
drug plan and other issues will
also be provided.
We voted for the casino gam-
ing tax revenues from slot and
gaming tables to eliminate
school property taxes.
That was divided up by our
governor and our elected offi-
cials for their various projects
and we received pittance.
We will have a petition for
those who wish to sign for
HB1776, school property tax re-
lief sponsored by State Rep. Jim
Cox.
In the last election, the major-
ity of our elected officials would
not support HB1775, elimination
of school property tax.
This is an election year and if
you dont get involved and speak
up, then you deserve the govern-
ment you get.
The meeting is open to all state
retirees and if you like you can
join AFSCME.
Please attend and bring your
spouse or a friend. Refreshments
will be served.

A time to reflect,
Go to church and genuflect.
The altars are decorated so
nice,
Flowers are abundant and have
a price.
As Christians, our Saviors life
was taken,
But on the third day, he rose
and his name is not to be forsa-
ken
One man created a legacy to
live by
Be kind and generous to oth-
ers, these words we should apply.
Love one another
Be it brother, sister, father or
mother
Forty days seemed to be a long
time to fast in a sense
But was worth the effort, be-
cause at Easter we must do pen-
ance
Also, it means a change in sea-
son
Flowers are blooming
Lovers will be swooning
Ah! Life is good as I see it,
Easter has come, andwhat bet-
ter time to walk and stay fit.

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.

from collecting unemployment during
school breaks. Public school and university
employees were already not allowed to collect
benefts during the breaks.
***
New Jersey has the most restrictive fertilizer
content standards for nitrogen and
phosphorus in the nation. Additionally, the
law demands that fertilizer be applied at
specifc times during the year. No fertilizer
containing nitrogenor phosphorus is allowed
tobe placedonlawns until March1. However,
products which have lime, potassium,
and compost are allowable. All lawn care
professionals must be certifed in order to
apply fertilizer in the state of New Jersey.
These requirements are aimed at reducing
pollution fromnutrients in all of NewJerseys
waters. The lawis directed towards decreaing
the total amount of nitrogen in fertilizer
and increaing the amount of slow-release
nitrogen by 20 percent.
***
The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled
that accredited school districts must accept
students from neighboring, unaccredited
school districts.

Passengers driving in a vehicle while not
wearing a seatbelt will now be ticketed and
fned up to $25 for violating a new law in

Question
The president
of what associ-
ation, which
began in 1948,
made the claim,
The backbone of
the organization is Duryea
Borough?
1961 51 years ago
Local historian Charles A.
McCarthy, in his chronicle of
the Civil War military history
of Greater Pittston, wrote about
the Pittston Rifle Company.
The infantry unit, commanded
by Captain John Bradley First
Lieutenant Charles H. Flagg
and Second Lieutenant Cyrus
K. Campbell left for Harris-
burg on August 22, 1862. Cap-
tain Bradley was promoted to
major in the 142 Pa. Vol. Re-
giment and fought at Freder-
icksburg in December of that
year. Three days after his pro-
motion to Brigade Inspector of
the 142nd, Captain Flagg was
killed at the battle of Gettys-
burg.
The ladies of Pittston pre-
sented a hand-made silk flag to
Company M Pennsylvania
Heavy Artillery, also known as
Schooleys Battery. Command-
ed by Captain David Schooley,
the unit left for battle in 1862
with 144 names on its roster.
Battery M fought in defense of
Washington DC and after that
joined Grants Army at the
Battle of Cold Harbor. The unit
carried the flag throughout the
war. To read more about and
see a photo of Captain School-
ey and the battle flag go to
www.buffalosoldier.net/David-
Schooley.htm.
Vince Wasczak, George
Dobilas, Joseph Keating,
Chester Faleski, Jerry Bleyer,
Jimmy Best, Ned Linnen,
Angelo Liborio Marcino,
William Granahan, Mike
Curatilo and Patrick Aquili-
na, members of the Pittston
High School Key Club, com-
pleted the painting of the high
school gymnasium. The young
men painted the sidewalls,
floors and lines on the basket-
ball court. The final addition
was a large red P in a white
circle at mid-court.
Joseph Sewatsky closed his
barbershop on North Main
Street in April 1, 1961, 60 years
to the day on which he began
his apprenticeship. Mr. Sewat-
sky remembered putting in 85
hours a week opening at 7:30
a.m. and closing around 10
p.m., sometimes working until
midnight to accommodate those
who worked different shifts. He
owned shops in Pittston Junc-
tion, Tenderloin Section and the
Flat Iron Building and remem-
bered styles such as the pompa-
dour, crew cut and ducktail.
Born in Lithuania in 1885 he
came to America in 1893, mar-
ried Mary Andruzis and had
two sons Albert and Joseph
Jr.
1971 41 years ago
Edward Carroll, general
chairman at the Centennial
Headquarters in the Klimek
Building, reported the Borough
of Avoca was preparing to cele-
brate its 100th birthday cele-
bration with street banners,
Jolly Boys Minstrel Show, ec-
umenical service, block party
and banquet. The borough was
incorporated in 1871 as Pleasant
Valley. Borough officials
changed the name to Avoca in
1887 after Avoca in Ireland.
The borough suffered tragedy
in 1888 when 37 inhabitants
were killed in a train wreck
known as the Mud Run Disas-
ter. To read an account of the
accident and cause in a New
York Times Article published in
October 1988, log onto nyti-
mes.com and search Mud Run
Disaster.
Captain Dino Lorenzini, a
native of Exeter, made a major
breakthrough in the testing of
gyroscopes in inertial guidance
systems. Captain Lorenzinis
approach made it possible to
shorten the time needed to
check the accuracy of the gyro-
scope speeding up the correc-
tion process. Inertial guidance
systems are used in submarines,
aircraft and spaceships. The
captain married Lucille Vin-
centi of West Pittston and had
three sons, Edward, Dino Jr.
and Michael.
Some prices in 1971: Pome-
roys Beauty Salon in Wyoming
offered fashion cuts for $2.
Bartons Furniture in Pittston
advertised full-size mattress
and box spring sets for $68. JC
Penney sold womens slacks for
$4.99 and Luchetti Sales and
Service in Pittston priced a
1971 Hornet for $2,279. Ac-
cording to the www.thepeople-
history.com, the 1971 consumer
witnessed the average cost a of
new house at $25,250.00, aver-
age income per year $10,600,
monthly rent $150, cost of a
gallon of gas 40 cents, Datsun
1200 Sports Coupe $1,866,
postage stamp 8 cents, ladies
2-piece knit suit $9.98 and
price of a movie ticket $1.50.
1981 31 years ago
The Penns Wood Girl Scout
Council honored Jean Ann
Linsky, Marilyn Montagna,
Margaret Monk, Doris Cor-
coran, Nancy Burkel, Susan
Benson, Mildred Volpetti,
Georgeann Calabrese, Pame-
la Hanczyc, Peggy McHale,
Susan Babos, Elaine Brodsky,
Florence Brodosky and Sue
Burgio for their many years of
service and dedication. Accord-
ing to girlscouts.org in the
1980s, a Contemporary Issues
series was developed to help
girls and their families deal
with serious social issues. The
first Say No to Drugs program
was introduced in collaboration
with a project initiated by First
Lady Nancy Reagan. Issues
such as child abuse, youth sui-
cide, literacy and pluralism
were addressed. Project Safe
Time was introduced for girls
whose parents were not home
to care for them after school.
New badges included Comput-
er Fun, Aerospace and Busi-
ness-Wise and a Daisy Girl
Scout age-level for girls 5 years
old or in kindergarten was in-
troduced.
The Geisinger group closed
the doors of Pittston Hospital
and opened the NPW Medical
Center in Plains Township,
leaving many residents con-
cerned about emergency med-
ical care. Ambulance orga-
nizations from Wyoming to
Avoca formed a new orga-
nization called the North Re-
gion Joint Ambulance Service,

Peeking
into the past
With Judy Minsavage
Last week's Peeking into the Past article recalled the fire that destroyed the Sweetland Restaurant
and Candy Shoppe in 1963. Mike Savokinas, owner of Savo's Pizza, supplied this photo of the interi-
or of the well-known business, which was famous for its delicious homemade Easter candies. It is
believed the photo was taken sometime in the late 50s early 60s.

The attempted assassination
of President Ronald Reagan
occurred on Monday, March
30, 1981, just 69 days into his
presidency.
The Sunday Dispatch In-
quiring Photographer asked
local residents, What was your
reaction to the attempted assas-
sination.
Dena DeBiasi of Duryea
answered, There are too many
nuts with guns running
around.
Bernice Swenton of Hugh-
estown stated, Its disgusting
for someone to do something to
a national leader trying to do
some good for America.
1991 20 years ago
More than 40 Wyoming Area
students were preparing to
present the Broadway musical,
Oliver to area residents. The
play coincided with an art show
featuring works created by
students of the school. Those
performing in the play were
Renee McDonnell, Sharon
McDonnell, Lynn Morrow,
Tenille Argento, Christine
Gashi, Mark Migiliore, Lisa
Ragantesi, Maria Sharisky,
Daryl Bowling, MaryJo Cun-
ningham, Amy Novack, Mi-
chael Nocera, Chad Webb,
Elisabeth Stevens, Dion Fer-
nandes and Tim Webb. Ol-
iver was the first musical ad-
aptation of a Charles Dickens
work to become a stage hit.
Answer
Paul Pascoe, of Duryea,
president of the Pittston Base-
ball Umpires Association and
the man responsible for its
continued existence in 1961,
had seen many members come
and go. Pascoe credited the
success of the organization with
his fellow members from Du-
ryea Harry Winn, Len Wen-
doski, Tony Rincavage, Ed
Gromelski, Ed Danouski, Joe
Cadden and Andy Billings,
Andy Zigmunt and Gene Al-
legrucci of Wyoming, Carmen
Montagna, Jim Gilmartin and

On April 28, the Greater Pitt-
ston YMCA is celebrating
Healthy Kids Day with a com-
munity event for kids and fam-
ilies in the Greater Pittston area.
More than 1,900 Ys across the
country are taking part in the cel-
ebration, meant to kick start
physical activity and learning
throughout the summer a crit-
ical out-of-school time for kids.
Healthy Kids Day, a national
initiative of the Y to improve the
health and well-being of kids, is
filled with fun, active play and
educational activities that will
help parents improve their kids
lifestyles for the long term. Re-
search shows that without access
to activities that stimulate the
mind and body, kids are more
prone to gain weight and fall be-
hind academically over the sum-
mer months.
At the Greater Pittston YM-
CA, we know that when the
school year ends, many kids lose
exposure to activities that keep
them moving and learning.
Healthy Kids Day will help par-
ents begin thinking early about
what their kids need to stay phys-
ically and intellectually active in
the summer, said Craig Lu-
katch, CEO, Greater Pittston
YMCA. Summer is just around
the corner andis anideal time for
kids to get out and grow so they
are healthier and sharper when
the next school year begins.
The Greater Pittston YMCAs
event will take place at the Y
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will
feature activities such as an Aer-
obathon, Healthy Kids Pro-
grams, door prizes, kids art work
for sale, a wellness fair andmuch
more.
The Aerobathon will be held
from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.; includ-
ing cardio pump, kickboxing, pi-
loxing and zumba.
The Healthy Kids Program
will include Kidz Pump (an in-
troduction to weights), piloxing,
yoga and zumba. The aerobath-
on is ten dollars and five dollars
for students with ID.
The Healthy Kids Program is
free for kids age five and up. We
will also offer free child watch
for children under five. All pro-
ceeds from the aerobathon and
the kids art work will benefit kid
programming and renovations at
the Y.
A leading nonprofit commit-
ted to strengthening community
through youth development,
healthy living and social respon-
sibility, the Yholds HealthyKids
Day to teach healthy habits and
inspire a lifetime love of physical
activity through active play. As
part of this initiative, the Y
along with hundreds of thou-
sands of parents and kids nation-
wide is taking on summer by
addressing critical gaps in health
and education that cause kids to
be at risk for childhood obesity
and suffer summer learning loss.
Nationally, Healthy Kids Day
is supported by the Dodge brand.

Sports Director, at (570) 655-

The Wyoming Area High
School baseball team finished
on the winning end of a pitch-
ers duel against Dallas High
School on April 4.
Led by Dylan Maloney, the
Warriors ended the afternoon
with a 2-0 victory at home.
We hada great pitchingper-
formance from Dylan, I
thought, today, said Wyoming
Area head coach Chick An-
drewscavage.
Hes one of our two pitch-
ers, himand AdamRomanow-
ski, are our two leaders and our
two pitchers.
The senior only allowed two
hits in his seven innings on the
mound, improving the War-
riors overall record to 2-1.
Hes tough, he knows how
to pitch, said Dallas head
coach Ken Kashatus. Besides
the fact that hes a talented
pitcher, he knows howto pitch.
He just knows what hes doing
out there. He has a real good
feel for pitching in high
school.
Offensively, Trent Grove got
things going for Wyoming Ar-
ea, hitting a single in his first at
bat of the game to start the sec-
ond inning off on the right
note.
Bart Chupka and Erik Walk-
oviak each singled to load the
bases for Romanowski, who
brought in Grove, picking up
the only RBI of the game for
either team, and giving the
Warriors a 1-0 lead.
Our hitting still needs to
come around a little bit, said
Andrewscavage. But, we hit
the ball when we needed to.
The coach credits the teams
effort on defense with the win,

fence in left center where the ball
ticked off her glove and fell to the
ground, giving the Lady Warriors
a bomb of a comeback 3-2 win
and pushing their record to 3-0.
The Warriors entered the bot-
tom of the seventh behind, 2-0.
Dallas pitcher Taylor Baker, who
worked out of trouble in every in-
ning but the seventh, got a strike-
out to start the seventh and the
Warriors were down to their last
two outs with no base runners.
Up next, lead off batter Nicole
Turner walked. Emily Wolfgang
singled to center, putting the tying
runs on first and second. Lindsay
Carrey hit a shot back to the cir-
cle. Baker got a glove on it but it
rolled behind her. Back up tried to
get the out at first but threw the
ball away and Turner and Wolf-
gang scored to tie the game.
Kate Coolbaugh ran for Carey
at first. Kate Kross grounded to
third, sending Coolbaugh to sec-
ond with the potential winning
run. That brought up Degnan who
launched the game-winning drive
with Coolbaugh touching home
before the ball came down.
Through the first six innings, it
looked like the Warriors were go-
ing to waste a fine pitching job by
Nicole Cumbo in her first start.
Cumbo had a no-hitter through
five innings with five strikeouts
but was down, 1-0, after Dallas
scored in the fifth on two Warrior
errors. In the sixth, Dallas par-
layed its only hit of the game, a
triple to deep right by Comitz, in-
toa secondrunonaninfieldout to
lead, 2-0.

APennsylvania Sportswriters
All-State second team selection
in Class 3A topped off a year of
achievements for Pittston Area
High School girls basketball
player Mia Hopkins.
The junior scored her 1,000th
career point, and also won the
WVC Division I Player of the
Year award this season.
I think this is probably the
most exciting because its a state
thing, Hopkins said of being
named to the team. A lot of
people get 1,000 points, a lot of
people get player of the year, but
All-State, thats pretty big.
I wasnt sure I was going to
get it this year, but it was pretty
exciting news when I found out.
My team was a big part of my
success.
Hopkins is the granddaughter
of former GARheadcoachJohn
Hopkins. Growing up in what
she calls a basketball family,
Hopkins was exposed to the
game early and has been playing
as far backas she canremember.
I thinkgoingtomygrandpas
games I just grew up around it,
and I started to love and have a
great passionfor the game, said
Hopkins, the daughter of Sha-
ron Hopkins.
Hopkins said her grandfather
helped her learn the game, and
is still offering lessons today.
He still helps me, he knows
the game really well, said Hop-
kins. He comes to the games,
and gives me a lot of pointers
and things to help.
Hopkins combination of pas-
sion and knowledge of the game
has had a positive impact on the
Lady Patriots since her fresh-
man year when she pulled down
29 rebounds in her first game.
Shes definitely been an im-
pact player for the last three
years, said head coach Kathy
Healey. As far as this season,
she brought the rest of our play-
her, we could have a phenom-
enal year, said Healey.
Hopkins is equally positive
about next season, and while
shes happy with the individual
accolades she has received, her
goals for next year are team ori-
ented.
We want to get the banner in
the gym because no other team
ever got it, said Hopkins. And
just winning more games than
ever this year, we did good this
year, but we want more wins and
get further in playoffs than we
did.
Hopkins will spend the sum-
mer working out at camps and
playing in leagues to help make
sure that happens.
After high school, she hopes
tocontinue her basketball career
in college at a division 1 or 2
school.
ers up to her level of play.
Averaging 20.3 points, 14 re-
bounds, five assists, four steals
and three blocks per game, Hop-
kins helped the Lady Patriots
get off to a 12-0 start, and finish
with an overall 17-7 record.
The team made it to the Dis-
trict 2 playoffs, where it lost in
the first round to Scranton Prep.
It didnt define our season,
said Hopkins of the first-round
loss. I think we could have
gone further than we did.
Healey credits Hopkins abil-
ity and leadership for one of the
teams best seasons in years and,
with one year left in her high
school career, Healy is optimis-
tic to see what Hopkins will do
during the 2012-13 season.
Im expecting great things
for her and our team. If she can
keep bringing our team up with

Wyoming Area baseball as-
sistant coach and former Major
League pitcher Bob Duliba, 77,
wasnt surprised when he got
mail with a Fenway Park return
address. As a Boston Red Sox
alumnus, having pitched one
season there in1965, its not un-
usual for Duliba to get mail
from the Red Sox.
But the letter he opened last
month was different. Inside was
an invitation to the 100th anni-
versary celebration of the 100th
anniversary of the official open-
ing of Fenway Park. The invita-
tion includes travel expenses,
accommodations for two nights
and a game ticket paid for by the
Red Sox.
The Red Sox and the New
York American League team,
then nicknamed the Highlan-
ders, played the first league
game in Fenway on April 20,
1912.
On Friday, April 20, 2012, fol-
lowing a large-scale pre-game
ceremony, the Red Sox and the
New York team, these days
known as the Yankees, will play
again, wearing 1912 throwback
uniforms with the game starting
at 3:05 p.m., the precise time of
the first game in 1912.
The day before that first game
in 1912, workers put the finish-
ing touches on the newpark, in-
cluding gold leaf numbers on
the seats which, according to a
newspaper account of the day,
are guaranteed to last indefi-
nitely, retain their brilliance and
give an air of richness to the
seats.
The new park featured an
electric bell system to start
games and an electric score-
board called the most im-
proved board made. That
scoreboard was replaced in the
1930s.
Tickets for the park opener
were 25, 50 and 75 cents. City
council members and state leg-
islators attended and the mayor
threwout the first pitch. Though
the park was considered state-
of-art for the day, its opening
would have been even bigger
news if not for what happened
five days earlier - the sinking of
the Titanic.
The new park worked some
magic for the Red Sox that year.
They won that first game, 7-6,
before 27,000 fans in11innings.
Though not considered presea-
son favorites, the club went on
to win 105 regular season
games, the American League
pennant and the World Series.
The Red Sox team Duliba
pitched for in 1965 wasnt quite
that hot. It lost 100 games. Duli-
ba was traded to Boston from
the California Angels that April
but he wasnt upset about the
trade. I felt down when I got
traded from the Cardinals to the
Angels. I didnt feel as bad go-
ing to the Red Sox. I was getting
closer to home.
The Red Sox assigned Duliba
to the minor leagues in Toronto.
After getting in four games
there and striking out eight in10
innings, he was called up to the
Red Sox in May.
He wasnt thrilled to be sent to
Toronto but accepted it as part
of the game. If you are going to
go to the big leagues youll go
anywhere, Duliba said. When
I went to Toronto, Dick Wil-
liams was the manager. That
was about as good as I ever
pitched in the minor leagues for
that one month in Toronto.
Duliba made his debut inBos-
ton on May 30, 1965, pitching 2
1/3 scoreless innings in relief
and setting up closer Dick Ra-
datz, the winner in 11 innings. It
was the first of 39 appearances
for Duliba in1965, his only sea-
son with the Red Sox, the last
full season of his major league
career and one of his best. He
pitched 39 games with a 3.78
ERA, both fourth best on the
team and well below the team
ERA of 4.24. He finished 17
games, third best, and was the
only Red Sox pitcher with a
winning record at 4-2. He was
credited with one save. By to-
days rules, he would have had
three saves.
Duliba said his most vivid
memory of the season is not of
pitching, but rather batting
against legendary Hall of Fame
knuckleball pitcher Hoyt Wil-
helm. It was one of only seven
at-bats for Duliba that season
and the only time he reached
base.
I was in relief against the
White Sox and I thought they
were going to pinch hit for me,
but they said no, come on.
Hoyt Wilhelm was pitching.
The last thing I heard is dont
swing and look stupid. I took
four pitches and he walked me. I
ended up at third base after a
single and bunt and then he wild
pitched me home. And I think it
was the winning run or the go-
ahead run.
Dulibas memory is right on.
The game was on August 13 in
Fenway. Dulibas scoredthe win-
ning run as he described in the
bottom of the seventh and was
the winning pitcher, pitching 3
2/3 scoreless innings.
Duliba said pitching in Fen-
way was a unique challenge be-
cause of the left field wall, the
famed Green Monster built in
the 1930s. Well, you gotta be
tough on the mound to keep the
ball away fromthat monster, he
said. But I always had a good
sinker, so I didnt have much
trouble. I dont remember giv-
ing up too many home runs
there, but I hadsome balls hit re-
al hard that would have been out
somewhere else but hit the
wall.
He does remember one odd
home run he gave up at Fenway
to Gates Brown, an outfielder
with Detroit. It was a popup
down the right field line near the
Pesky Pole, which was only 300
feet. [Red Sox right fielder To-
ny] Conigliaro was coming,
coming, coming. The ball hit his
glove and bounced in for a home
run.
Among Dulibas teammates
with the Red Sox was Hall of
Famer Carl Yaz Yastrzemski,
the most beloved Red Sox of all
time. Asked if he got to know
Yaz, Duliba said, Oh yeah. He
was great. One time we were in
Cleveland and after a game, we
took a limo to Toledo to a bar to
meet a friend of his from Notre
Dame.
Duliba will travel to Boston
with his son, Andrew. Hes not
sure exactly what the ceremony
will entail, but he andhis sonare
excited and honored to be part
of it.

eling to Boston for the 100th anniversary of the Fenway Park's opening.

HI GH SCHOOL BASEBAL L
Josh Featherman pitched a com-
plete-game 6-0 shutout over Pitt-
ston Area at Hilldale Park on
Wednesday, April 4.
After narrowly missing a per-
fect game last week against Crest-
wood, Featherman allowed just
four hits on Wednesday and struck
out 11. In 14 scoreless innings,
Featherman has 18 strikeouts and
zero walks to help the Crusaders
(3-0) take an early lead in Division
I East of the WyomingValleyCon-
ference.
Both Coughlin coach Moe Rod-
zinak and Pittston Area coach Paul
Zaffuto talked about maturity
when discussing Feathermans im-
pact in 2012.
I expected him to mature as a
senior, but hes matured this much
early, Rodzinak said. I never ex-
pectedit this fast. Hes takenonthe
role of a leader. For a junior, hes
one of the leaders on the team. Im
really happy with him.
Primarily a reliever as a sopho-
more, Featherman got a spot start
against Pittston Area last April at
Hilldale, giving up five runs on
eight hits while taking the loss.
Zaffuto said he sawa noticeable
difference facing Featherman on
Wednesday and he made sure to let
him know how impressed he was
after the game.
Last year we were in your head
and you were easily intimidated,
Zaffuto told him. You were af-
fected by our cheering and our
nonsense. But youve matured a
lot. There were some college
scouts here today and Imgoing to
talk to them and say I see a ma-
tured guy that really worked hard.
Absolutely, Featherman said
of the change from last season. I
felt much stronger coming in this
time. Baseballs a big mind game.
A lot of odds. You can hit the ball
one time and then the next time up
you strike out and look horrible.
So definitely its just about work-
ing hard.
This time around, Zaffutosaid, it
was his hitters whowere intimidat-
ed by Featherman, calling him
one of the better pitchers in the
area.
The Crusaders fed off of their
pitcher, who spread out the four
singles he gave up. Three times he
ended an inning with a strikeout
with a runner on and a fourth time
he got a double play to finish a
frame.
At the plate, Joe Parsnik contin-
ued a hot start of his own for
Coughlin, finishing 3-for-4 with a
pair of doubles and three RBI. The
first double made it 2-0 in the fifth
to give the Crusaders some breath-
ing room. The second knocked in
two more runs in the sixth to put
the game away.
Josh Razvillas had two hits of
his own to lead the Patriots (2-1).
Five of the six runs against pitch-
ers Chuck Bressler and Michael
Schwab were unearned.
The Patriots defeated Naticoke
17-4 on Monday, April 2.
Razvillas drove in four runs and
Anthony Schwab (double) fin-
ished with three.

Despite the tough defensive ef-
fort from the Warriors, a come-
back never seemed out of Dallas
reach, thanks to the play of their
pitcher, Brian Stepniak.
The junior only allowed five hits
in his six innings on the mound.
I thought bothpitchers left their

OL D F ORGE
It wasnt the top half of the in-
ning they were looking for, but
the bottom half more than made
up for it as Old Forge scored sev-
en runs in the first inning on its
way to a 16-6, six-inning victory
over Lakeland in a Lackawanna
League Division II game at Pag-
notti Park on April 4.
The Blue Devils fell behind
early when starter Dave Chro-
mey allowed four runs on four
hits and two walks in the first in-
ning as the Chiefs took a 4-0
lead.
Old Forge responded with
seven runs in its half of the in-
ning as Derek Drasba and An-
thony Trotta each smashed two-
run doubles to give the Blue
Devils a 7-4 lead.
Lakeland responded with two
more runs in the top of the sec-
ond to get within one run, but
Chromey settled in, holding the
Chiefs to just two hits over the
next four innings as he struck
out eight in picking up the victo-
ry.
Old Forge totaled 23 hits on
the afternoon including six
doubles while scoring nine
runs over the final four innings.
Chris Talipski paced the Blue
Devils with four hits, giving him
a .857 average on the young sea-
son. Talipski also drove in two
runs to up his total to five.
Dave Argust, Ian Nemetz and
Trotta all collected three hits for
Old Forge (1-1), and Mascaro,
Drasba, Matt Mancuso, Mike
Vieira and Paul Papi adding two
each.
OF 5 Dunmore 6
Old Forge dominated Dun-
more through the first five in-
nings of play as Derek Drasba
held the Bucks to just one run on
two hits when the Blue Devils
took a 5-1 lead on April 2.
But Dunmore was able to get
to the Old Forge junior with
three runs in the sixth and first
third of the seventh, before scor-
ing two more off reliever Dave
Chromey in the final two-thirds
of the seventh to take a 6-5 win
away from the Blue Devils in a
LL Division II game at Pagnotti
Park.
The Blue Devils gave Drasba
a 4-0 lead as Chris Talipski
smacked two hits and drove in
three runs in the first four in-
nings. Drasba returned the favor
by striking out eight in dominat-
ing fashion during the first four
stanzas.
Dunmore scored one in the
fourth before Old Forge answer-
ed with one in the fifth to take a
seemingly comfortable lead into
the final two innings.
Ian Nemetz added two hits for
the Blue Devils and sophomore
catcher Steve Mascaro chipped
in with an RBI triple. Dave Ar-
gust added a double for Old
Forge (0-1).

Old Forge smacks 23 hits in 16-6 victory
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Correspondent
As evening temperatures dipped
intothe 30s last week, the OldForge
bats froze up when the Blue Devils
needed them most in hard-fought
losses to both Dunmore and Lake-
land.
Old Forge left nine runners on
base in a 4-1loss to the Lady Chiefs
in a Lackawanna League Division
II game at the Miles Street Commu-
nity Park in Old Forge on April 4.
The Blue Devils took an early1-0
lead as Lauren Carey bunted for a
base hit to start the bottom of the
first, stole second and then scored
on a double by Vicki Lee.
Lakeland responded with three
runs in the top of the second and
added another in the fourth to take a
4-1 lead.
Old Forge (0-2) had its chances,
twice loadingthe bases inthe fourth
and sixth innings, only to be shut
out by Lakeland pitcher Ally Steier.
Carey, Lee and Taylor Nemetz
collected two hits each for the Blue
Devils, and Chelsea Cadwalder
added the other Old Forge hit. Ne-
metz just missed on a seventh-in-
ning home run when her blast to
centerfield fell out of the reach of
the Lady Chiefs centerfielder and
off the top of the wall.
Kim Regan took the loss for the
Blue Devils, scattering seven hits
and five walks while striking out
six.
OF 1 Dunmore 3
Old Forge wasted a solid per-
formance from junior pitcher Kim
Regan as it managed just two hits in
a 3-1loss to Dunmore in a LL Divi-
sion II game at the Miles Street
Community Park on April 2.
Regan allowed just two hits and
three walks while striking out five
and did not surrender an earned run
in seven innings of work while be-
ing charged with the loss.
The Blue Devils managed just
two hits themselves as Lady Bucks
hurler Sarah Ross was equal to the
task.
Old Forge (0-1) took a 1-0 lead in
the bottom of the second when
Vicki Lee tripled and scored one
batter later on Kelly Marhelskis
RBI groundout.
The Blue Devils held that 1-0
lead until the top of the fifth when
Dunmore scored two runs on two
wild pitches after an error and two
singles loaded the bags for the Lady
Bucks.
Old Forge had a chance to tie or
goaheadwhenit loadedthe bases in
the third after two walks and an er-
ror, but the Blue Devils were unable
to come up with the big hit.
Dunmore added an insurance run
inthe topof the seventh, anddespite
Rhyan Barnics leadoff double to
start the bottom of the inning, Ross
retired the next three batters.

Happy Easter, everyone! Lets
start it all off withthe traditions of
today. Many things have changed
over the years. My Easter basket
as a kid (45 years ago) always in-
cluded a few molded chocolates
from Gertrude Hawks. We sold
them as fundraisers for years.
They usually included a plane, a
Volkswagen, an astronaut and, of
course, a crucifix. We are now
buying less candy for the Easter
baskets and more goodies like
computer games and clothing.
One of my buddies at work de-
cided against a basket and bought
his son a new bike. I guess you
could say that the meaning be-
hindthe traditionof Easter is sim-
plyGodandfamily. It couldcome
in the formof a ring of kielbasi or
a spiral cut hamand, then again, a
day spent without the stress of
daily life would be fine as well.
I choose to be with the people I
love, eating the comfort food
from memories past and just sit-
ting around the kitchen table
playing games. Eventually, the
hamand kielbasi will be put back
on the table and the eating will
start all over. While some things
have changed over the years, I
choose to keep a little of my East-
er tradition alive. May your day
be filled with whatever makes
you happy and may God bless
you and your family.
Trout fishing
Lets talk trout fishing. The
trout seasonandtraditiongohand
in hand. The opening day of the
trout season for our area is next
Saturday, April 14. More than
850,000 anglers have bought a li-
cense this year and many of them
will grab family and friends to
head to a local stream or lake.
Every year, the Pennsylvania
Fish and Boat Commission
stocks more than 3.2 million trout
for anglers to cast. Many of those
trout will be stocked in time for
the 8 a.m. first cast next Saturday
with the remainder being stocked
throughout the season.
I always enjoyed the opening
day when it took place the week
after Easter. My lunch included
Easter eggs, ham sandwiches
and, of course, molded choco-
lates.
Fishing tips
This could be the part of the ar-
ticle where I try to give you fish-
ing tips to help you catch the big
ones. Well, guess again. I want
you to go back to the basics. Grab
a pitch fork and head to the gar-
den. Be sure to take a coffee can
along to hold the worms. Red
worms are perhaps the best and
cheapest bait you can use next
weekend. I like fishing with them
on a number 10 hook with a split
shot and a swivel.
Picking bait before the fishing
trip was as traditional as the trip
itself. My brother and I were re-
sponsible for the worm bucket.
We made sure it was always filled
with worms of all sizes. Once that
was done, we grabbed a $1bag of
salted shiners and bottle of salm-
on eggs and were ready to hit the
stream.
Fishing holes
Be sure to check out your fa-
vorite first day fishing hole be-
fore the opening day.
Last years flood certainly
played havoc with many of the
streams. I helped the Pennsylva-
nia Fish and Boat Commission
stock the Mehoopany Creek in
Wyoming County this week.
It is hard to grasp the power of
the water until you see the devas-
tation first hand. The ball field at
Forkston Corners doesnt exist
anymore. Many of the beautiful
trout holes are now filled in and
the farmfields have beenclaimed
by rocks and other debris from
the flood.
Im not too sure how the trout
will react when most of the nat-
ural structures are gone. But
nonetheless, the trout are in there
waiting for an anglers juicy
worm or shiny spinner.
Trout stocking
While most of the streams and
lakes are already stocked with
trout, a few will be stocked this
week in anticipation of opening
day. There is still time to follow
one of the big white fleet as it
makes its way to a stream for
stocking.
Check the Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commission web page
at www.fish.state.pa.us. Just
click on the word trout and look
for the preseason stocking sched-
ule. Carrying a bucket to the
streamfor stocking is a great way
to get children interested in trout
fishing. I hope you consider tak-
ing a youngster fishing next
week. I grewup excited about the
opening day and other weekend
trout fishing.
Good luck if youre going out
next Saturday.
Turkeys are talking
Part of my spring ritual in-
cludes spending time with my
turkey hunting buddy, Dale But-
ler, scouting turkeys.
We spent last Sunday morning
in Sullivan County, calling to tur-
keys and hiking a few of our fa-
vorite turkey hunting trails.
We started our adventure at
5:30 a.m. and pulled into our lis-
tening spot in Sullivan County at
6:15 a.m.
The morning started out misty,
cold and breezy. We werent too
sure that we would hear gobblers
but the idea of our first scouting
mission together was good
enough for us. We waited until
about 6:30 a.m. before making an
owl call. Turkeys gobble to sound
of an owl.
I gladly jumped on the oppor-
tunity to make the first call of the
season. I said a little hoot-hoot
and another hooty-hoo and, lo
and behold, the turkeys started
gobbling.
We left that spot after a few
more gobbles and proceeded to
the next listening post. Once
again, a turkey responded to our
calls. We managed to hear12 dif-
ferent gobblers that day, called in
two hens and saw more than 20
deer on our travels. We are now
convinced the turkeys are where
we want them for the upcoming
hunting season.
That, folks, is a mission ac-
complished with a smile. There is
still plenty of time to get out and
scout turkeys.
Be sure to watch Pennsylvania
Outdoor Life tonight at 6:30 p.m.
on WNEP-TV. We take you along
on the trout stocking adventure
on Mehoopany Creek. You wont
believe it until you see. Once
again, Happy Easter and may
God bless you and your family.
Traditions, trout and turkeys!

Meanwhile, the Warriors
put runners on base in every
inning, stranding five in scor-
ing position in the first six in-
nings. Coach Stephanie Grif-
fin said if thats a problem, it
should get better. We had
some young players come up
in key situations and they
couldnt get the hit, but that
will come.
Griffin hopes starting Cum-
bo, a sophomore, after junior
Alex Holtz won the first two
games, will pay off down the
road. I like that we have three
pitchers. I hope to give the
young pitchers some time, rath-
er thanwait until theyare juniors
or seniors.
The Warriors third pitcher,
Erin Maloney, is a freshman.
Griffin said the hit by Deg-
nan, who stands 5-1, didnt sur-
prise her. Shes got deceptive
power.
Cumbo wound up with a one-
hitter with eight strikeouts. She
struck out the side in the second,
throwing mostly fastballs, but
showed some stuff, twice whiff-
ing batters looking with change-
ups that fell over the plate like
slo-pitch arcs.
The Warriors hadfour hits be-
fore the hits by Wolfgang and
Degnan in the seventh, one each
by Turner and Kross and two by
Lexi Coolbaugh.
The Lady Warriors (3-0) have
a 1 -game lead in Division 1
West over Dallas, Tunkhannock

During the month of March,
Mrs. DeMicheles and Mrs. Bar-
tolis first grade classes at
Wyoming Avenue Elementary
School in West Pittston, com-
pleted an embryology (chick
hatching) project.
The Pennsylvania State Uni-
versitys College of Agricultural
Sciences 4-H Club, along with
Robert Troy, sponsored the pro-
ject. This was a huge project and
the students looked forward to it
all year.
The students learned what
happened inside the eggs each
day before they hatched, howthe
chicks hatched and how to care
for the chicks after they hatched.
During the project, the stu-
dents also learned how to care
for an incubator and the impor-
tance of maintaining an accurate
temperature within the incuba-
tor.
On day three of the project, the
students observed a developing
embryobya methodcalledcan-
dling, which allowed them to
see inside the egg, much like an
x-ray, except they used a Can-
dler.
The students kept a daily jour-
nal to record their observations,
researched facts about chicks
and displayed their written find-
ings outside of their classroom.
In addition, they recited chick
poetry, learned new vocabulary,
graphed their favorite chicks
names and designed chick vi-
sors.
The project culminated by cel-
ebrating the births of our chicks
with a class party. The students
were treated to chick cupcakes,
chick-shaped chocolates, ice
cream and fruit punch.
