An optimist’s take on ‘the end’

If you’re reading this then the
world did not end Saturday
which is pretty good news for
everyone who isn’t a New York
Mets fan or Charlie Sheen’s
father.
Actually, I guess it’s not the
official closing of the curtain
that this 89-year-old preacher
from California predicted for
Saturday but rather the begin-
ning of the end, i.e. Judgment
Day – which, for the record,
never happens at Planet Fitness.
Anyway, the highlight of
Saturday was supposed to be
the Rapture, a moment where
all the goodest people would be
vaporized directly into heaven
and the rest of us would remain
here to deal with all sorts of
mass hysteria and Justin Bieber
songs.
I read where about 200,000
people would wind up on that
express elevator to the Pearly
Gates which is a pretty small
number when you think about
it. I’m guessing a decent
amount of them, however, are
Dispatch readers.
I did not see any accounts
where an exact time was men-
tioned, which means, as I write
this at about 7:30 Saturday
morning, the Rapture may al-
ready have come and gone.
Come to think of it, the only
people I’ve seen so far today
are my wife and Joe Scarantino
walking his poodle. If the Rap-
ture has occurred, I want to
know what that poor little dog
ever did to be left behind.
If indeed Saturday wound up
being the end, or even the be-
ginning of the end, the thing
that has me most upset, aside
from the obvious – yes, it
would have been nice to see my
kids one last time – is that I did
not pick up a pizza Friday night
as I promised myself I’d do all
day long. Why? Because I
worked late. How I dread going
through all eternity having to
admit that every time someone
asks, “So, how’d you spend
your last night?”
I did have a beer before bed,
though. A Newcastle Brown
Ale, I am proud to say. And I
used one of the good beer
glasses from the China closet,
too, the kind that makes a per-
fectly pitched ding when you
click the rim with your finger-
nail, the kind we never, ever use
for drinking beer. So I have that
going for me.
I am aware that if the world
ended Saturday there is abso-
lutely no one reading today.
Nevertheless, I want to go on
record that I went out ever the
optimist, finding the good even
in this.
And there is good – plenty of
it. For all the wondrous things I
will miss following the end,
there are almost as many I
won’t. And that gives me great
solace.
For one thing, I won’t miss
acid indigestion – I guess I still
have that not-eaten pizza on my
mind – or burning the roof of
my mouth on molten cheese
when I cannot wait to take the
first bite.
And I won’t miss highway
construction projects, that sink-
ing feeling when you realize all
the drivers in front of you are
hitting their brakes because all
the drivers in front of them have
already hit their brakes and so
on and so forth for the next 12
miles. I won’t miss that.
Or tailgaters, speaking of
driving. Or litterbugs.
Or that clueless guy who
won’t pull over into the passing
lane and let me merge into
traffic on the interstate. Yeah,
you, buddy. I won’t miss you.
Reality TV. I won’t miss that
either. Along with any TV show
that includes in its title “with
the stars.”
I won’t miss fast food. Or
slow service.
And I won’t miss my alarm
clock.
Or shaving.
Or the pesky tendonitis in my
right Achilles tendon.
Or buying shoes. (I have
weird feet.)
I won’t miss wondering how
that young man’s jeans are
staying up … or if he ever takes
off his baseball cap.
I won’t miss petty politicians.
Heck, petty people in gener-
al. Or whiners. Get over it al-
ready.
I won’t miss the little hour-
glass on the monitor in front of
me as my computer cooks up
its latest surprise.
I won’t miss finding out one
more time what happens when
you put something in the micro-
wave uncovered.
I won’t miss head colds.
I won’t miss flossing.
And, God knows, I won’t
miss my ever present love han-
dles.
And I particularly won’t miss
all those people who have spent
their lifetimes convinced that
when the Rapture does come,
they will be first in line.
And if the end did not come
on Saturday? Well, I guess I
can put up with all these things
a little while longer.
At least until December of
2012, which everyone knows
will bring the real end of the
world. Expect great Christmas
presents that year. I’m maxing
out all my credit cards.

James, Licata win county council nominations

Luzerne County Council primary race back story: under votes
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
In the primary races for 11 nominations
from each party to run for the new county
council in November, Democratic Grea-
ter Pittston area candidates batted .100,
while the Republicans batted 1.000.
Bill James, a businessman from Hard-
ing, was the only local Republican candi-
date, out of 16, and he won a nomination.
He was seventh on the Republican side
with 6,747 votes.
Of the 10 Democratic candidates from
the local area, out of 33, only one, Sal Li-
cata, won a nomination. Licata, a retired
Pittston Area school teacher from Pitt-
ston, was seventh among the Democrats
with 8,967 votes.
Of the other nine local Democrats who
didn’t win nominations former Pittston
Area school director John Adonizio came
the closest.
He was 12th on the Democratic side,
missing the cut by 176 votes to Elaine
Maddon Curry, 7,884 to 7,608.
James, the local Republican winner,
said name recognition helped him. “I’ve
been around Luzerne County my whole
life,” he said. “I ran for state representa-

tive twice, I ran for county commissioner,
I was on the council in Forty Fort and I’m
on the Exeter Township planning com-
mission.”
But James didn’t rely on the hope that
enough voters would recognize his name.
“I was attending every event, going door-

to-door. I wanted to prove to myself that
people knew me as Bill James the person,
not just the politician who put signs all
over the place.”
Asked about the oddity of a father and
son with the same name – Stephen J. Ur-
ban and Stephen A. Urban – being the top
voter-getter in the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties respectively, James said
name recognition was the key again. He
chuckled and said, “Is it home rule or Ur-
ban rule? That’s what I heard people say-
ing out there.”
The elder Urban, Stephen J., is a sitting
county commissioner who switched from
the Republican to the Democratic party
last December. James said some Repub-
licans may have voted for the son thinking
he was the father.
“I believe that happened in some cases,”
James said. “Steve, the elder, is popular
with both sides. I believe there were voters
who didn’t know or forgot he switched.”
Not that James believes nominating the
younger Urban was a bad outcome. “I
know the whole Urban family. Young
Steve is brilliant, he made his own way. I
can’t say anything derogatory about him.
It’s going to be interesting when we get to
the general.”
Licata, the Democrat from Pittston, was
one of 11 candidates from a union-en-
dorsed Working Families for Better Gov-
ernment slate and one of only four of
those to win a nomination.

Pierantoni, Vough, Rogers, Gelb win judicial nods

By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor

Two local men – Fred Pieran-

toni with almost 24,000 votes
and Michael Vough with just
over 22,000 – were the top vote-
getters in Tuesday’s primary
election for nominations for six
seats on the Luzerne County
Court of Common Pleas.
Pierantoni, from Dupont, is
the Magistrate of District 4 in
Pittston, a post he has held for 20
years.
Pierantoni was the winner on
the Democratic ballot and fourth
on the Republican side.
Vough, a lawyer was second
and third respectively.
Vough, an Avoca native, lives
in West Pittston. He is a Luzerne
County Assistant District Attor-
ney.

neys did not crack the top six on Fred Pierantoni celebrates his win for Luzerne County Judge with his wife, Donna, left, and sons, Fred and Matt, Tuesday night at the

either side. Joe Saporito grew up

in Pittston and lives in Jenkins
Township. Mark Bufalino is a
West Pittston native who lives in
Trucksville.
Saporito came closest, finish-
ing seventh on the Democratic
side, 428 votes behind Molly
Mirabito out of over 33,000 cast
for them combined.
Jennifer Rogers is a lawyer
with local ties who made the cut
for both parties. She was sixth on
the Republican side, edging Jim
Haggerty by less than 100 votes,
and fifth on the Democratic side.
Rogers is a West Pittston native.
She moved away with her family
as a child but came back to the
area and now lives at Harvey’s
Lake and has a private practice
with a concentration in family
law.
West Pittston Mayor Bill
Goldsworthy, who watched the
judicial campaign and election
closely, said there was a shocker
and some surprises. “I was
shocked that Lesa Gelb got a
double and surprised Saporito
didn’t get at least a Republican
nomination.” Apparently Gelb
was not hurt by a lawsuit field

Mixed results for no-nepotism school board slates

By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Except for the players, it was
hard to tell the two local school
board races apart. In both Pitt-
ston Area and Wyoming Area
five seats were on the ballots. In
both districts sitting board mem-
bers whose terms were up did not
run, opening up the race to new-
comers. In both districts the
campaigns featured slates of no-
nepotism candidates against
slates headed by well-known in-
Sciandra at PA, Campenni at WA top vote getters
On the Wyoming Area no-
nepotism slate were incumbent
Estelle Campenni, and new-
comers Tom Cason, Beth Gober-
Magnan, and Carl Yorina. Cam-
penni was the top vote-getter for
both the Democratic and Repub-
lican nominations. Gober-Man-
gan also won a double nomina-
tion and Yorina won a Republi-
can nod, coming in second to
Campenni.
two seats. Counting total votes,
Valenti was the lowest of the
three.
She tallied 1,789 Republican
and Democratic votes com-
bined. Yorina got 1,880 and
DeAngelo 1,812.
Though Valenti has the advan-
tage of a double nomination,
while Yorina and DeAngelo have
singles, there is precedent for a
double nominee losing in
Wyoming Area.
In the 2009 general Frank Ca-
sarella and Gil Dominick ran as
independents and displaced two
candidates who had won both
nominations in the primary.
Campenni said the results
were bittersweet for her. Sweet
because she was the top vote-
getter and because two of her
running mates won nominations
and bitter because of how closely
Cason came on both sides and
how close Yorina came to a dou-
ble.
“They never ran before and
they took time out of their lives
to run. I’m impressed by how
close they came and I’m hum-
bled to be the high vote-getter,”
she said.
See SCHOOL BOARD, Page 6

cumbents.
Judging by the results, nepo-
tism wasn’t a major issue for the
voters in the Pittston Area, but it
did seem to affect the Wyoming
Area outcome.
Of the three Pittston Area can-
didates who ran promising to im-
plement a no-nepotism policy,
only one, Bob Gorzkowski, was
successful. Gorzkowski was ap-
pointed to the board last fall to
replace Mike McAndrew who
resigned. Gorzkowski won a
double nomination. He was first
among Republicans and fifth
among Democrats. But his slate
mates, Bob Lampman and Tony
Tuttle, who appeared only on the
Democratic ballot were defeat-
ed. They were the only school
board candidates not to cross-
file.
Thank You!!
Long-time Wyoming Area in-
cumbent Toni Valenti ran with
incumbent Nick DeAngelo and
newcomer Jerry Stofko. Stofko
did not win a nomination and
DeAngelo won a Democratic
nomination only. Valenti won a
double, but she was fifth on both

McLean was the top vote-get-

Though Alfano came close,
the numbers mean 104 voters

Argo said incumbency helped

I’ve already proven I get things

McLean has been in there just as

Her perseverance, accom-

Residents, staff and officials at

“In appreciation for the inspi-

at a fundraiser for her in Scran-

leadership class at the center
“Stephanie was selected as
their legacy project. So they or-

said.
A member of the U.S. Ski

high ranking through competing
in Alpine ski racing on the sla-

super-G (super giant slalom) in
the face of dealing with CHILD

Her recent travels took her to
Park City, Utah, where she com-

While the U.S. Olympics pays

up and help defray her expenses.
FACTS OF
LAW
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
In a split decision, a federal appeals court
in New York has overturned a Vermont
law seeking to restrict the use of
prescription drug data in the marketing
of pharmaceuticals to physicians.
***
A new federal law will give the FBI
authority over crimes that occur on cruise
ships that have docked at U.S. ports.
***
Arizona has joined Alaska, California,
Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan,
Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon,
Vermont, Rhode Island and Washington,
who have all removed state-level criminal
penalties for the medical use and
cultivation of marijuana.
***
The Small Business Jobs and Credit Act
of 2010 has eliminated complicated tax
regulations regarding depreciation and
substantiating deductions faced by every
business that provided its employees with
cell phones, making it much easier for
businesses to deduct cell phone expenses.
***
The Mississippi Supreme Court has ruled
that insurance companies must cover
damage from a hurricane’s wind even
if the home is later inundated by storm

Student art adorns JA Mericle Center

Just do it
Interesting how two words can ruf-

which appeared in an editorial here
last week: no nepotism.
We wrote last Sunday, two days be-
fore the primary election that we, as a
matter of policy, do not endorse can-
didates, but we will endorse an idea.
The idea was no nepotism.
We pointed out that some candi-
dates in the school board primary
elections at Pittston Area and Wyom-
ing Area campaigned on a no nepo-
tism platform, saying the first thing
they would do if elected would be to
enact a no nepotism policy. We ap-
plauded that.
Since these candidates were on re-
cord, we mentioned them by name.
And that caused a bit of an uproar.

MOTHER’S DAZE
Little girl, back
The sparrow has returned to the nest.
I think the sparrow is the species of birds with the
most incessant and irksome squawk, right?
She has flown from her dorm room, where there
are no rules, regulations, curfews or me, and has
secured her place back in the family hierarchy as
Queen of Everything and All Things Her Way.
Oh, you know we love her.
And she loves us.
I think she loves us.
I’m pretty sure she loves us.
I know she loves me when she sneers at my Won-
der Bread offering and needs my money to pur-
chase organic, 110 grain, pesticide and gluten-free
bread (or maybe that’s her shampoo), and decides
that $6.99 a loaf is well worth a happy, operational
intestine.
She loves me when I hand her the cars keys to a
vehicle that is free of dents but not free of air-con-
ditioning, as her own ride is, and I know she loves
me when I surprise her with brown, macrobiotic,
cage-free eggs for breakfast. (I actually just saved
the macrobiotic, cage-free carton from her pur-
chase last year and just put plain, old caged and
inorganic eggs in there. I’m no dummy.)
Anyway. Sigh. They fly away and things change.
But some things don’t.
Like her low threshold for anything that is too
loud, too smelly, too much pontificating (and make
that an annoyance to the third power when I am
trying to watch my Dr. Phil) and of course, too
much me.
I am her Cliff Claven, her Steve Urkel, her Kram-
er, her Gilligan … I am her main source of uber-
irritaion.
Here are things that my daughter does not enjoy
about me, the woman who pushed out her canta-
loupe-sized cranium after 31 hours of labor and
couldn’t walk straight or sit without a donut pillow
for three months:
She doesn’t enjoy when I eat anything except
marshmallows or air during Glee. This includes my
recent inhalation, just hours ago, of Cheez-Its,
Good n’ Plenty, Tums, beef jerky and a ladle of
peanut butter.
Most definitely does not enjoy when I drink any-
thing during show time, either. Apparently I have
an odd swallow reflex that sounds like a frog trying
to ingest a pregnant ferret. There’s a visual.
She hates when I don’t hear her the first time she
makes any proclamation or query. She mumbles
and I am old. I can’t hear my alarm in the morning,
let alone a disgruntled 20 year-old asking me if I
think she should buy soba noodles. From three
floors away. I kid you not.
She will not ever let me whine about anything.
She does not want to hear it.
The reverse of course, never holds true.
If I say so much as: “My feet hurt”, she snipes:
“There are people all over the world who have no
shoes! So don’t you whine about your bunion!”
She forgets that she was so concerned about her
Maria Jiunta Heck
own bunion four years ago that I rushed her to my
cousin, the podiatrist, who performed the equiva-
lent of emergency open-heart surgery on her teeny,
tiny little foot malformation.
And, here is what she does not enjoy about her
father:
His giggle in response to anything she deems
“serious”, such as the fact that he refuses to pay
more than $12.00 for jeans, his refusal of her plea
for air conditioning, even though she claims her
lipstick is melting in the “heat” of her cell, his aw-
ful dancing and his most criminal misstep: his love
of high-fructose corn syrup and neon orange crun-
chy cheese products.
Here is what her brothers do that she does not
enjoy:
Breathe.
I thought she would become more accepting of
our endearing, familial idiosyncrasies once she left
for college, but … no.
I’m hopeful that once she gets married and has
children of her own, (well into her 30s), she will
view me in a more understanding and forgiving
light. You really don’t understand an insane mother
until you become an insane mother.
I just pray to God her babies do not smack their
formula too loudly or chomp on their binky like a
cow chewing their cud. Otherwise, I fear for them.
But, to be honest, there is much that I do enjoy
about her.
She is tough on me but she is also loving.
She’s the only person who can approach me with
a molten vat of wax, a Popsicle stick and a smirk
and proclaim: “Time to wax your ‘stache, Maria!”
And I actually let her. Wax my ‘stache. I’m afraid
not to. I have decided to ignore the sheer enjoyment
she gets from this little hair-removal procedure and
the extraction of my top layer of upper-lip epider-
mis.
She will run any number of errands for me, even
the hugely humiliating ones. I won’t detail those
here, but they usually entail a trip to the Feminine
Care aisle at CVS.
When I underwent surgery for my breast cancer,
she came home from college repeatedly without a
second’s hesitation to take care of her father and
brothers. I never asked and I never had to. She just
knew.
She still tells me she loves me. After every phone
call and before every good night.
And, most amazing, I think she is proud of me
sometimes.
Until she reads this column, anyway.
Then, she will come after me with hot wax and it
won’t have anything to do with my ‘stache.
Daughters are like a bra with six hooks. Annoy-
ing, itchy and infuriating … but a necessary and
comforting source of eternal uplift and support.
Maria Heck makes her kids proud of her – not to
mention her husband – every other week in this
space.

Emergencies and food
Earlier this week rain was in our forecast almost every day and
several other states’ forecast too. It is a four letter word, and if you are
familiar with the movie “Bugs Life Year,” you will know that the
grasshoppers reacted to rain just like us humans do, especially when
damage from rain water overflows into our personal properties.
Rain is out of our human control, however, being a bit better pre-
pared is not. Now is a good time to review some basic how to’s to
prepare for a possible weather emergency.
Penn State Extension has a publication “Preparing for Emergen-
cies, a Consumer Guide,” which can be accessed via the web link
below, or call our office for a copy to be sent to you. USDA Food
Safety Inspection Service also has a wealth of information on their
web site. Meanwhile USDA recommends that we take these actions
before an emergency takes place. Keep these recommendations for
future reference.
1. Keep an appliance thermometer in the refrigerator and freezer.
An appliance thermometer will indicate the temperature inside the
refrigerator and freezer in case of a power outage and help determine
the safety of the food. Make sure the freezer is at 0°F or below and the
refrigerator is at 40°F or below.
2. If you have room, freeze containers of water for ice to help keep
food cold in the freezer, refrigerator or coolers after the power is out.
This is a good idea to do as an energy saver if you do not keep your
freezer full. In addition, purchase or make ice and store in the freezer
for use in the refrigerator or in a cooler. Other options are Freeze gel
packs and freeze pops. These can be used in the freezer itself to keep
it cold or in a cooler.
3. Plan ahead and know where dry ice and block ice can be pur-
chased.
4. Have coolers on hand to keep refrigerator food cold if the power
will be out for more than 4 hours. If the power goes out, quickly group
food together in the freezer — this helps the food stay cold longer.
5. Store food on shelves that will be safely out of the way of con-
taminated water in case of flooding.
If you are one of the unlucky ones and need to make some decisions
on whether or not food is safe to eat after an emergency, here are the
guidelines to keep in mind:
1. Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as pos-
sible to maintain the cold temperature.
2. The refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if it is
unopened. A full freezer will hold the temperature for approximately
48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) and the door remains closed.
3. Discard refrigerated perishable food such as meat, poultry, fish,
soft cheeses, milk, eggs, leftovers and deli items after 4 hours without
power.
4. Foods in the freezer may be safely refrozen if they contains ice
crystals or are at 40°F or below when checked with a food thermome-
ter.
5. Obtain dry or block ice to keep your refrigerator and freezer as
cold as possible if the power is going to be out for a prolonged period
of time. Fifty pounds of dry ice should hold an 18-cubic-foot full
freezer for 2 days.
6. If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, check each
package of food to determine its safety. If the food still contains ice
crystals, the food is safe to either refreeze or cook and then refreeze.

were popping up in
the city of Pittston.
What were they?
into the past
With Judy Minsavage
1964 – 47 Years Ago
The Pittston High School class of
1943 presented to the school a portrait of
Frank Earley, superintendent of city
schools in the 1950s. The former class
members insisted that the portrait be
placed in the main corridor of the High
School. They also suggested that the
portrait of Elizabeth G. Battle, prede-
cessor of Superintendent Earley, which
hung in the library, be placed alongside
Mr. Earley’s portrait. It was the wish of
the class that these portraits be in the
same location and visible to those enter-
ing the school.
The Pittston Area School District was
created in 1966 by merging Pittston,
Pittston Township, Hughestown, Du-
pont, Duryea, and Avoca School Dis-
tricts. The first superintendent was
Martin L. Mattei.
After leaving Saigon, Vietnam in
1964, Joseph M. Cukauskas, HM2,
U.S. Navy of Exeter, and two of his
naval buddies took something very un-
usual to their new assignment in Taipei,
Taiwan. While in Vietnam, the trio
adopted a baby Bengal Tiger weighing
about four pounds.
The three men were the subject of a
feature article in the Pacific issue of
“Stars and Stripes” in which they de-
tailed their difficult experiences with
keeping the pet. The tiger was expected
to reach a weight of 600 pounds and the
men although attached to the cub
planned on sending it to a zoo in the
United States.
Copies of the Pacific edition of the
“Stars and Stripes, which began publi-
cation in that region in 1945, can be
found online, as well as harrowing sol-
dier’s stories of close encounters with
the massive cats in the jungles of Viet-
nam.
The construction location of the Pitt-
ston Area School was in question, after
a state action moved to join the Pittston
School District to the already formed
Northeast School District. At the time,
Roy Stauffer of Pittston offered a 33-
acre site in Pittston Township to the new
district for $1.00. The land valued at
$40,000 was partially excavated and
ready for development. The school
eventually was constructed in Yatesville.
It opened in 1968.
According to the web site luzerne-
county.org Yatesville was named after
Francis Yates, Sr., an early settler in the
borough. In 1809, Joel Hale built the
first frame house there. The two men
were also believed to be the first to mine
coal in the borough.
1974 – 37 Years Ago
John Polak, of West Pittston and a
senior at Wyoming Area High School,
received a prestigious $6,000 scholar-
ship from the William T. Morris Foun-
dation. The scholarship is based on a
students academic and leadership abil-
ities. John was an Eagle Scout and
planned to major in biology.
William Thomas Morris after whom
the scholarship was named was born in
West Pittston the son of Thomas J and
Jane Reese Thomas. Upon working his
way up to the presidency of American
Chain and Cable Company, William
Morris focused his charitable nature on
establishing the William T. Morris Foun-
dation in 1937. The foundation contrib-
utes to religious, charitable, scientific,
literary and educational activities. To
read more about the history of William
T. Morris and the foundation go to the
web site http://www.wtmf.org/histo-
ry.htm.
Sadie Cosgrove, president of the
Pittston Swimming Pool Association,
announced that the pool located on Mar-
ket Street, would not open for the sum-
mer of 1974. To ensure public safety,
repairs needed to be made, and funds
were not available. Mrs. Cosgrove had
seen the pool’s 800 family membership
in its first year dwindle to just 300 fam-
ilies in 1973. The pool which was con-
structed in 1963, kept the $20 member-
ship fee constant in all of its years of
operation. The city of Pittston, while
awaiting government funding, planned
to purchase to the pool from the associ-
ation for $70,000.
Third grade students at the Luzerne
Avenue School participated in a conser-
vation project headed by their teacher
Alyce Zura. The class planted Norway
spruce seeds and learned about the func-
tion of trees in the environment. Louis
Manganello, Ken Stackhouse Michelle
Bonfanti, Dave Gavigan, Lynn Orth,
Diane Zezza, Chris Shannon, Diana
Mirro, Mary Giambra and John
Chiampi were some of the students who
participated. Each classmate received
the “Last Log Drive Coloring Book”
detailing the Potlatch Company’s last log
drive on the Clearwater River in North
Idaho. The coloring book can be seen on
Ebay. The log drives experienced from
1928 to 1971 are detailed at www.for-
esthistory.org.
1984 – 27 Years Ago
Mr and Mrs. Norman Saunders of
Wyoming received an award from the
Luzerne County Children and Youth
Services. The couple not only raised
nine children of their own, they were
foster parents to 76 children during their
marriage, some with special needs. Mr
and Mrs. Saunders also had 26 grand-
children and 12 great grandchildren.
According to the National Foster Par-
ent Association web site, in 1853, Char-
les Loring Brace began the free foster
home movement in New York. During
the early 1900s, social agencies began to
supervise foster parents. Records were
kept the children’s individual needs were
considered when placements were made,
and the federal government began sup-
porting state inspections of family foster
homes.
The Shantytown baseball team kicked
off their Central League season hosting
Swoyersville West Side Club.
Baseball’s once strong foothold in
Greater Pittston, was slipping to the
growing popularity of softball. “Sunday
Baseball” reigned supreme in Pittston
for many years enjoyed by players and
fans alike. But in 1984, Shantytown was
finding interest and number of teams
fielded dwindling. If anyone has photos
of the Shantytown team, call me at 602-
0168.
Theresa Romanowski of West Pitt-
ston and Angela Valenti both received
academic scholarships from College
Misericordia. Theresa ranked number
two in a senior class of 264 students at
Wyoming Area and Angela ranked num-
ber one in a class of 353 students at
Pittston Area. Both girls planned to
major in nursing.
Vincent Carozza, Howard J. Fear,
Ben Tielle, Sterling Simons, Drew
Smith, Doug Roberts, Warren Pol-
lard, Raymond Ramage, David Pa-
trick and organist Catherine J. Fear
under the direction of Joanne S. Austin
were some of the members of the First
United Methodist of West Pittston 30-
member choir.
1994 – 17 Years ago
In 1994, the Pittston city pool was
back in the news. In the 1970s the city
and the Pittston Area School District
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 22, 2011
agreed to jointly operate the pool, both
contributing to half of the cost of main-
tenance and operation which in 1994
totaled $25,000. Free to all residents, the
pool was in need of repair due to van-
dalism and normal use.
Superintendent of Pittston Area
School District Frank Serino an-
nounced that for the first time in Pittston
Area’s history, members of each grad-
uating class would remain together as a
group from kindergarten through twelfth
grade. The district reorganized the
schools based on the “successful imple-
mentation of the Kindergarten Center.”
The beginning of the 94-95 school
year would see Pittston City Elementary
renamed Primary Center and Lincoln
School renamed Intermediate Center.
The West Pittston Library was cele-
brating its 120th year. Founded on Sep-
tember 12, 1873, the entire library con-
tained 200 books and was located in the
Post Office. In 1994, the library con-
tained over 18,000 volumes, with an
average yearly attendance of 17,000. The
library has priceless photographs of the
Greater Pittston flood of 1904. The ice-
jammed Susquehanna River overflowed
carrying gigantic blocks of ice onto city
streets.
Earl Hadley of Avoca and Leo Mad-
den of Pittston were honored as Hi-
bernians of the year in 1994. The Avoca
Chapter of the Ancient Order was also
celebrating its tenth anniversary. Hadley
received the award for his tireless efforts
for the fraternal organization and
“Butch” Madden for initiating the cre-

New double-headed parking meters
were replacing the old pre-1950s style
mechanisms on city streets. Street Su-
perintendent “Tricky” Kridlo demon-
strated the new mechanisms to police
officer Joseph Capone, George Knit-
kowski, Nick Salerno and Ned Levey.
The new meters took a nickel for a half-
hour and a dime for one hour.
A photo of the old style meter can be

Incumbent councilman ousted in Exeter
Most candidates unopposed in local municipal elections
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Borough council nominations
were on ballots in all nine local
boroughs – Avoca, Dupont, Du-
ryea, Exeter, Hughestown, West
Pittston, West Wyoming,
Wyoming and Yatesville.
Of those only two, West Pitt-
ston and Wyoming, had Repub-
lican candidates on the ballot.
And only Duryea, Exeter, West
Pittston and one Avoca ward had
contested races. In the other bor-
oughs candidates were unop-
posed.
The most surprising result in
the boroughs was in Exeter
where long-time incumbent
councilman Rick Turner did not
win a nomination. Democrats
Denise Adams, John Morgan,
Joseph J. Esposito and Larry
Dellegrotto won the four nomi-
nations over Turner and Sharon
Korba.
Turner was the only incum-
bent to lose in any of the local
races. Adams is an elected in-
cumbent. Morgan was appointed
to council after John Kizis re-
signed last September. Esposito
is a former councilman and Del-
legrotto is a political newcomer.
Dellegrotto is a real estate bro-
ker, appraiser and educator. He

has lived in Exeter for eight years
and is on the borough planning
commission. “I worked hard. I
went door-to-door,” Dellgrotto
said. “I went out and got myself
prepared to be a councilman.”
“We,” he said referring to Kor-
ba who went with him, “went to
courses at Penn State at Lake
Lehman in zoning and municipal
planning.”
Dellgrotto was a member of
Exeter First, a grass roots anti-
Walmart-in-Exeter organization,
but he did not run against Wal-
mart
“I was involved in Exeter First,
but not as involved as other peo-
ple. I was concerned about meth-
od and manner with which the
council and zoning handled the
situation. It should have been
more open and transparent. At
the last planning commission
meeting we voted to approve
Walmart’s preliminary plan with
a lot of conditions.”
Dellgrotto and Korba won
write-in nominations on the Re-
publican side, so Korba will be
on the November ballot as a Re-
publican nominee.
Dellegrotto said it wasn’t fun
upsetting Turner. “I won, but I
can still feel bad about it. He’s a
good man and he served Exeter
for years.”
Golf Tournament

Pittston is having a Charity Golf

Salvation Army Camp
The Salvation Army is now
taking applications for their
weeklong, summer camp pro-
gram at Camp Ladore. Summer
camp dates are June 22-27, July
In Wyoming there were no
council contests as incumbents
Frank Yurek, a Democrat, and
Republicans Cheb Nalewajko
and Bill Starr were unopposed in
wards one, two and three respec-
tively. Nalewajko also won the
Democratic nomination with
write-in votes.
In West Wyoming incumbent
Democrats Dan Gadomski, Ga-
ry Stavish and Eileen Cipriani
were unopposed for three coun-
cil nominations.
In Hughestown council in-
cumbents Edward Strubeck,
Philip Falvo and Wayne Quick
were unopposed for three Demo-
cratic nominations.
In Dupont incumbent Jeffrey
M. Kaminski and Brian Nesgoda
were unopposed for two Demo-
cratic nominations for council
seats.
In Avoca Gary A. Halagarda
was unopposed in ward one, Mi-
chael Fuller was unopposed in
ward two. In ward three incum-
bent Joseph Satkowski defeated
Susan LeLack.
In Duryea a newcomer, Lois
Hanczyc, was the top vote-getter
for three council nominations.
Incumbents Audrey Yager and
Alfred Akulonis Jr. also won
nominations over Lorraine Har-
manos Henrich.
8-16, and August 3-8.
“It’s an experience not to be
missed,” observes Wilkes-Barre
Salvation Army Captain Patty
Richwine. “Time spent at camp
can be a life-changing experi-
ence for kids. We are so grateful
to our friends who sponsored
these children.”
Last summer, 34 children
from the Wilkes-Barre area went
to a weeklong camp where they
played sports, swam, explored
the outdoors and made crafts.
Children ages 7-17 can have the
opportunity to attend The Salva-
tion Army camp at Camp Ladore
in Waymart. The camp is owned
and operated by The Salvation
Army and consists of 1,200 acres
of land surrounding a 265 acre
lake.
Programs contribute to the
spiritual, educational, social, and
In Pittston Township Steven
Rinaldi was unopposed on the
Democratic supervisors’ ballot.
On the Republican side Dale
Newman was unopposed and
barely held off a write-in 36-30.
In West Pittston, where there
were no Democratic candidates,
incumbents Jim Rose, John
Hood, and Peter Albano won the
Republican nominations over
former councilman Kevin Les-
cavage and newcomer Bill Bohn.
But Lescavage won a write-in
nomination on the Democratic
side so he will be on the Novem-
ber ballot.
In Yatesville mayor Vince Tos-
si was unopposed and incumbent
councilmen Joseph Zambetti III,
Christopher Lizza, and Paul Far-
ber held off a challenge by Sal
Alaimo.
In Jenkins Township Stanley
Rovinski was unopposed on the
Democratic ballot for a six-year
supervisor seat and Coreen A.
Milazzo defeated Frank “Wax-
ie” Vaxmonsky for nomination
to a 2-year seat.
In Exeter Township incum-
bent Republicans Donald J.
Hoffman and James Dowse were
unopposed for two supervisor
seats and Jack Ruane was unop-
posed on the Democratic side.
A minumum of 10 write-in
recreational needs of every
camp. Transportation is provid-
ed to and from camp. Scholar-
ships are based on need, with
proper paperwork completed
two weeks before camp.
“School will be ending soon,”
Richwine points out. “For some
kids, going to Camp Ladore is
the highlight of the whole sum-
mer.”
Parents interested in sending
their children to summer camp
should register at The Salvation
Army, 17 S. Pennsylvania Ave-

votes are required in borough
council and township supervisor
primary elections to get on the
November ballot. The numbers
of the write-in votes were offi-
cial on Saturday, but a break-
down by names was not available
at press time.
There were Republican write-
in votes for council in Duryea
(42), Yatesville (29), and West
Wyoming (22) and for the six-
year (28) and two-year (50) Jen-
kins Township supervisor seats.
Some or all of those write-ins
could have been for the winning
Democratic candidates who will
then appear on the November
ballots of both parties. Or it is
possible there could be write-in
Republican candidates on the
November ballots in those
towns.
There were 117 write-in votes
cast on the Democratic side in
that Exeter Township race, so a
second Democratic candidate
will be on the November ballot
for Exeter Township Supervisor.
One poll-watcher in Exeter
Township said Hoffman, one of
the Republican candidates, may
have collected most of those
Democratic write-ins. If so, he
will be on both ballots in Novem-
ber.
support will be held on Saturday,
August 6, 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
at Our Lady of Mount Carmel
Parish Center, William St., Pitt-
ston.
The evening features open bar,
cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, dinner
and dancing. There are also doz-
ens of giveaways.
Live music will be provided by
the band “Them Again.”
Tickets are limited to 200 and
will be available soon.

he added.
Like James, Licata didn’t rely
on being known.
“I tried to speak to and meet as
many people as I could. I was out
at least six days a week,” he said.
“On many days I traveled to
two and three different events. I
met with as many different
groups of voters as I could. I

else that would have me. I
learned it’s very difficult to run
for a political office, not only for
the candidate but also the candi-
date’s family.”
There were 127,000 so-called
“under votes” in the Republican
county council races and
203,000 in the Democratic side.
That means most of the voters
did not vote for11candidates and
many voted for one, two or even
none.
Licata said geography played a
part. “I think some voters were
worried that they would have no
local representation on the coun-
cil so they only voted for candi-
dates from their community or
area.”
Again Licata talked about

I would like to thank all the

trust in me and my abilities and
voted to nominate me for the po-
sition of Luzerne County Coun-

who helped make this possible.
Congratulations to all the oth-

A few weeks ago, my eight
year old daughter brought home
an entry form to take part in this
year’s West Pittston Cherry
Blossom Idol festival. Well, be-
ing that West Pittston is my
hometown, as well as my daugh-
ter’s home town, I wanted to con-
sider this opportunity for my
child. Something fun, something
that she will remember. I recall
when I was a little girl going to
of the Greater Pittston area, and
it will help foster pride in the
great events surrounding the
founding of our great nation, es-
pecially for the youth of our area.

learn that she may not be good
enough to win. While I can, I
want to shield her from the real-
ities of life, especially one that
may make her feel less than ex-
cellent.
Being on the fence, as I stated I
was, I placed a call to the contact
number on this registration form.
My main concern was the win-
ner/loser scenario and how the
officials were going to present
this “competition” to such young
children. I was informed that al-
though there will be a first place
winner, all children will receive a
prize of acknowledgement for
participating. Obviously, neither
I nor she would be interested in
the prize but more so the fact that
everyone leaves a winner.
Based on the information pre-
sented to me, I felt confident that
this “Idol Contest” would be
held in a manner that would not

Your support was greatly ap-

sented the idea to my child and
she wanted to be a part of it. She
practiced for 14 days. Every
chance she got. As soon as
school let out for the day, my
daughter would listen to the song
on repeat, over and over again.
She and I had talks of what
may happen regarding winning
and/or losing. I expressed to my
child that everyone has an opin-
ion and some people’s opinion
may be different than mine. I in-
formed her that although I feel
she is the very best, someone
judging may not. I also assured
her that everyone leaves a win-
ner. I assured her that no matter
the winner, everyone gets a
prize. She was very excited. We
talked about different ways to
calm her nerves. This was a big
deal for her which in turn was a
big deal for me. She knew which
outfit she’d wear days before the
show.
Well, we reported to the stage

awaiting her turn. Her number
was called. She began by an-
nouncing her name and the song
she’d be singing. She began. I
was so proud of my little gal,
having the courage to sing in
front of all of those faces. As
proud as a mother could be!
For reasons I am not aware of,
her song began to skip. Con-
stantly and repeatedly. She kept
up with the confusion but I could
see in her eyes the nervousness.
Thankfully, it was announced
that due to the equipment mal-
functioning, my child would be
given a second chance. She had
her second chance, the song re-
peatedly skipped… she did a
great job keeping up but the
skipping made her performance
a bit difficult.
All in all, she did a fantastic
job, she smiled… kept her chin
up and most was well.
The few things that were not
well… things that may seem pet-
ty to most… but for a mother
whose child put quite the effort
The members of the Hughes-
town Hose Company announce
that the 2011Annual Fund for the
Hose Company has just started.
This drive is a major source of
the Hose Company’s financial
well-being. In particular, the
drive makes it possible for the
firefighters to manage their day-
to-day operations. This includes
utility bill payment and building
maintenance costs.
The Hose Company is re-
questing that each residence
contribute $25 for this year’s
drive. A donation letter was re-
cently sent to each residence and
business. Everyone is asked to
make their donation return by
June 15.
Residents and businesses are
reminded that the Ambulance
Fund Drive is scheduled to begin
on September 1. The Ambulance
Drive is a separate donation
drive which serves to reduce the
costs associated with the oper-
ation of the Borough’s ambu-
lance service. For more informa-
tion or to view the latest photos

into this contest, the issues hurt
my feelings and hurt the feelings
of my child.
After every child sang, the
judges judged. Now, I under-
stand this was a contest and judg-
ing is a part of competition, but
for children of such a young age
to be judged, from the very first
negative comment, I knew that I
should not have allowed my
child to participate. “Your per-
formance lacked choreogra-
phy”, “you should have smiled”,
“you should have used your dia-
phragm”, etc.
Well, this is just my opinion
but in a world where children al-
ready are struggling to be them-
selves, why criticize them for
wrong doings… why not instead
encourage them and compliment
them.
Some of those kids on that
stage Sunday afternoon were
frightful. Standing in front of a
bunch of strangers is quite the
nerve racking experience. Espe-
cially for little ones…
And when it was all said and
done, the winners were chosen

winners were not acknowledged.
No consolation prizes were giv-
en, the children left the stage and
the event was over.
I am deeply disappointed in
myself for allowing my child to
be taught her very first lesson in
competitiveness by The West
Pittston Cherry Blossom Festiv-
al Idol Contest.
She was hungry for acknowl-
edgement but clearly learned in
the wrong manner that giving her
best had very little impact on the
events that day.
She, as well as the other chil-
dren, should have been given
endless praise for the courage
they mustered up. They should
have been acknowledged for the
good they did, rather than being
left to stand in the backdrop, be-
hind the winners.
Some might say, ‘In life, there
is always someone better than
oneself.’ I disagree with that
statement. There is unrepeatable
grace and individuality in the
lives of each child. Teaching
them otherwise is abhorrent.

Borough receives $461,000 grant for compost program
At Tuesday regular monthly
council meeting is was an-
nounced that Dupont Borough
has received official notice from
the Pennsylvania State Gaming
Commission that they have been
awarded more than $461,000 in
gaming grant funds for the pur-
chase of machinery to convert
yard waste into compost.
Dupont Council applied for
the funding and requested the in-
volvement of six surrounding
communities: Avoca, Duryea,
Hughestown, Jenkins Twp, La-
flin and Pittston.
Councilman Stan Knick, who
initiated the idea of using the
Borough’s 33 acre parcel on
Commerce and Garden Drive as
a recycling site, will be meeting
with Dupont officials, as well as
the involved communities, in the
near future to work on a plan of
action on the use of the machin-
ery.
Once operations begin, Du-
pont residents will be given com-
post free of charge. The munici-
palities will also look into selling
leftover compost.
In other business, Borough
Manager, Patty McDonald re-
ported on the upcoming con-
struction projects in the Bor-
ough: street paving project for
Coolidge, Oak, Atwell, Pine,
Wood Gedding and Bridge will
begin on May 23; the traffic light
project at the Heidleberg Bridge/
Dupont-Avoca is scheduled to
being on July 1; traffic light at
Lackawanna/Main/Chestnut/
Airport Rd/Holden & Everhart
will being on June 1 with paving
of Route 315-Main St/Chestnut
plus handicap sidewalk ramps.
Also, blocked drains on Sus-
con Road, Bear Creek Rd. and
SR 2059 will be cleaned by Lu-
zerne County by June 1.
McDonald said she received a
letter from PennDOT regarding
upcoming projects and complet-
ed projects. PennDOT reported
that the work on Route 315 at the
bottom of Suscon Road is com-
plete where the water break oc-
curred.
McDonald, however, said she
the project was not completed
correctly. PennDOT patched
blacktop where there was previ-
ously a concrete rubble strip is-
land, she said.
The Commerce Road project

tion is finishing up with the en-
trance sign and island work
along with the street signs at the
intersections. Once that is done
borough officials will have a fi-
nal walk thru.
Council President Knick said
he hopes this will help with truck
traffic through town with new
signage and also with the pro-
posed airport access road project
that is moving forward. Tenta-
tively the project is scheduled for
November of this year, however,
there are a few issues pending
that may push the date back.
Completion date for the access
road is 2014.
Knick, Fire Chief Don Hud-
zinski and Tony Gangemi from
PA American Water Co. have
had conversations regarding the
borough sponsoring a project to
paint the fire hydrants in town.
Hudzinski has provided the color
coding for the different locations
based on the pressure flow of
yellow, green, orange, red, and
blue for the top of the valves.
Knick noted he would like to
see council members come out
and complete this project.
Borough Manager McDonald
noted that the Water Company is
looking into whether a waiver is
needed for those involved in
painting the hydrants for liabil-
ity/safety reasons.

able for purchase at the Hub 1.

Warriors spike Hawks in finale
Wyoming Area beat Hanover in sixth win of season
By Matt Page
Dispatch Correspondent
While it was raining outside, it
was thundering inside the gym as
the Wyoming Area pounded the
ball to the floor en route to a
25-9, 25-14, 25-12 three game
sweep of Hanover Area on
Thursday in Exeter.
Wyoming Area may have
played its best game of the sea-
son, and it came in the final
game of the year and the final
game of the careers of all but one
Warrior.
“They played well,” said
Coach Noah Pickett. “I joked
with them that they peaked in the
last game of the season, but they
really came along…they looked
good, I’m proud of them.”
After falling behind 4-3 early
in the first game, Chris Evans
scored four of the Warriors next
seven points, three of those being
aces, to take a 10-4 lead. Then af-
ter a Hanover Area point, Tony
Richards set the ball to Kevin
Thompson for a big kill, starting
another Warrior rally. During
that six-point rally, Cody Gates
came up with two big blocks giv-
ing WA a 17-6 lead.
A Hanover Area point stopped
the rally, but Gates picked up
where the rally left off. Richards
set the ball to Gates who blasted
the ball to the floor for the kill.
Then Gates stuffed another Ha-
nover Area attempt followed by a
Richards kill giving WA a 20-7
lead.
Richards recorded two aces
during the final five points as
WA owned the first game 25-9.
The Warriors came out firing
in game-two, storming to an
early 5-1 lead. Richards set up
Gates for the first point then
Gates denied the Hawkeye at-
tack for the second point. Dylan
Reedy came up with an ace for
the third point, then Richards set

up Evans and Gates for points
four and five.
Sports
Both teams scored two points
before Gates came up with the
biggest hit of the day. Richards
set the ball and Gates attacked it
aggressively, smashing the ball
off the head of a Hawkeye, who
appeared to not even see the ball.
Hanover Area responded with
a point but then the Warriors
went on another six-point run.
Larry Popovich started the run
with a kill, then Richards set up
Thompson and Evans followed
with an ace. Popovich had anoth-
er big kill and Evans had another
ace before Richards set up Ree-
dy for the kill giving WA a 14-4
advantage.
Hanover Area went on a 4-1
run before WA responded with
two points putting the Warriors
up 17-8.
After a Hawkeye point, the
Warriors rattled off five points
on two Hanover Area miscues, a
kill and an ace by Reedy and a
kill by Gates. Hanover then
scored two points but WA an-
swered on a big kill by Evans and
an ace by Richards. Then
Thompson added a kill to give
the Warriors a 25-14 game-two
win.
After falling behind 5-2 in the
third game, WA scored four
straight points before another
point by HA tying the game at
six. That was the last time the
game was close, as the Warriors
rallied off six consecutive points
on two errors by Hanover Area,
two points by Reedy and two ac-
es by Evans.
Hanover Area scored the next
two points to cut the lead to 12-8
but WA responded with three
points including a huge smash by
Popovich. Both teams ex-
changed the next few points and
WA held a 19-12 lead.
Richards scored five of the fi-
nal six points on a kill and four
consecutive aces before Thomp-
son iced the game with a kill giv-

Soccer teams miss out on playoffs
Lady Patriots, Lady Warriors fall short of qualifying for last spring tourney
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
Both Pittston Area and Wyoming Ar-
ea missed out on the final District 2
Girls’ Spring Soccer Championships
even after turning in successful seasons
as both the Lady Patriots and Lady War-
riors finished at the .500 mark.
Pittston Area fell short of landing one
of the two bids that the Wyoming Valley
Conference Division 2A received in the
10-teams tournament. The Lady Patri-
ots finished third at 6-6-1 behind divi-
sion champ Honesdale (11-2) and run-
ner-up North Pocono (7-4-2), both of
which qualified for the championships.
This is the last season for spring soc-
cer in District 2 as the PIAA has re-
manded that all girls’ soccer be played
in the fall.
Pittston Area’s season was highlight-
ed by wins over playoff-bound North
Diamond post-season spots far from settled
Six local teams await word on opening round games
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
Countless days of delays and postpone-
ments from a rain-soaked April and May
schedule have caught up with high school
baseball and softball teams as we enter
what was to be the first week of the Dis-
trict 2 playoffs.
Over 60 baseball and softball games
were scheduled to be played between this
past Friday and Monday in both the
Wyoming Valley Conference and Lacka-
wanna League as teams crammed to get in
finals games before the D2 deadline.
Some schools – like Western Wayne – had
four softball games yet to be played, while
others like Riverside had to schedule
around its Friday prom.
And there was no guarantee that the
weather was going to cooperate this week-
end. So come this morning, it’s probably
best to check either www.timesleader-
.com or www.piaad2.org to see exactly
where the Dispatch-area teams stand.
Both the Wyoming Area baseball and
softball teams had completed their sea-
sons as of Friday with the Warriors post-
VA R S I T Y S O C C E R
Pocono, and rival Wyoming Area.
Wyoming Area also missed out as the
WVC Division 2B was only awarded
one berth in the tournament. WVC Di-
vision 1A was given four berths into the
tournament (out of five teams), and
WVC Division 1B was awarded three
spots. The WVC divisions were split by
strength of program in the final year of
spring soccer.
The Lady Warriors finished the sea-
son with a 6-6-1 record, which was high-
lighted by victories over WVC Division
2A North Pocono (7-4-2) and Wyoming
Seminary (5-7-1). Four of WA’s six loss-
es game to the two teams that finished
ahead of them in the WVC Division 2B
standings, champion Meyers (9-2-2),
and runner-up Tunkhannock (9-3-1).
WA 0, Honesdale 2
Wyoming Area closed out its season
with a 2-0 loss to Honesdale in a Wyom-
VA R S I T Y B A S E B A L L / S O F T B A L L
ing a 7-7 record and the Lady Warriors
finishing 4-10.
The Pittston Area baseball team played
yesterday against Crestwood after Dis-
patch deadlines, and were set to face Holy
Redeemer on Monday. A win in either
game gave the WVC Division I-East
championship to the Patriots.
The Old Forge baseball team was slated
to complete its Lackawanna League Divi-
sion II schedule yesterday after Dispatch
deadlines against arch-rival Riverside,
and the Blue Devils softball team is fin-
ishing up today against the Lady Vikes in
a suspended game from Thursday.
Here are some projections as of the di-
vision standings on Friday afternoon.
Softball
In the District 2 3A tournament which
will feature Wyoming Area and Pittston
Area, the top spot was set with LLD2
champ Valley View (13-0). The No. 2 seed
was up for grabs between Dallas (10-3)
and Tunkhannock (9-4). Depending on
their final games, the team with the better
record would win the WVC Division I-
West.

The Lady Warriors were in position to
earn the No. 9 seed in the 14-team tourna-
ment. But if Honesdale (3-9) could bump
WA with games left against Scranton (1-
11) and West Scranton (6-7).
Should Wyoming Area remain the No.
9 team, they could take on North Pocono
(6-6) or West Scranton (6-7) in Tuesday’s
opening round. The Lady Warriors beat
North Pocono in a pre-season game.
Pittston Area (3-11) looks to be the No.
13 seed heading into today’s game with
Crestwood. If the Lady Patriots upset the
Lady Comets they could bump up to the
No. 12 seed.
PA would travel to Scranton to face
Prep (8-4) as the No. 13 seed or Berwick
(8-5) as the No. 12 seed.
In the District 2 1A tournament, things
are just as unsettled.
Old Forge – the three-time defending
champion – is the No. 6 seed as of Friday.
A win by the Blue Devils against River-
side today would more than likely push
them into the No. 5 slot. Forest City (4-8)
is ahead of Old Forge (4-9) right now but
could finish 4-10 with games left against
Mt. View (5-6) and Montrose (8-4).

If Old Forge finishes sixth, they would
be matched up with top-seeded North-

up. Should the Blue Devils finish fifth,
they would matchup with small-school
nemesis Blue Ridge (11-2) in the semis.
Baseball
In the District 2 3A tournament only
Wyoming Area (7-7) and Valley View
(13-1) had completed their seasons as of
Friday. The Cougars were set to be the
top-seed in the tournament while the War-
riors could end up anywhere from seventh
to tenth.
Should Pittston Area (10-3) win the
WVC Division I-East, it could finish as
the No. 2 seed at best and No. 4 seed at
worse, but would probably project as the
No. 3 seed looking at remaining oppo-

Now that you are hopelessly
confused, here are the possibles
for the Patriots and Warriors.
Valley View and Tunkhannock
(11-2) look to be set at No. 1 and
No. 2 with Pittston Area ready to
earn the No. 3 seed unless West
Scranton (11-2) can beat out
Scranton (12-1) for the Lacka-
wanna League Division I title.
Scranton would need to lose to
Honesdale (4-8).
So the Patriots are currently
set to face Nanticoke (2-11) or
Crestwood (2-11) on Tuesday
when the tournament gets under-
way.
Wyoming Area is in a spot
where they must wait on Dallas
(8-5), Abington Heights (6-6),
Scranton Prep (6-7) and North
Pocono (6-7) to finish their
scheduled. Should the Warriors
remain at the No. 8 spot – where
they were on Friday afternoon –
they would host either Scranton

they bump up to No. 7 or drop to

see Abington Heights depending

defending champions – will be

Pagnotti Park at 4:30 p.m. The
Blue Devils are seeded behind
Lackawanna Trail (12-1), the
LLD3 champs. Old Forge beat
the Lions for last year’s title
when Tony Goodall tossed a no-

Blue Ridge (7-6) is the third
seed and will host Susquehanna

A win by the Blue Devils

Lady Patriots win two
Pittston Area suffered a loss at the bats
of Crestwood in Monday’s contest. The
Lady Patriots never gave up coming within
one run, but falling just short in the 5-4
loss.
The Lady Patriots jumped out to an early
lead 1-0 in the bottom of the first. Crest-
wood then plated two on a triple to left cen-
ter in the third. PA then tied the game when
Taylor Baloga singled and scored on a Liz
Cappelloni RBI single.
Crestwood answered back with three in
the fifth but the Lady Patriots put up one
last stand scoring two in the seventh inning
off of hits by Theresa Domarasky, Julie Si-
linskie and Megan Karuzie. But the rally
fell short.
Baloga suffered the loss giving up five
earned runs and 10 hits, but struck out
eight and didn’t allow a walk.
“It was a hard loss for us, but now we
realize there is still more work to be done.
We can’t just settle and be content. Other
teams are getting better, so we have to get
better,” said Coach Stephanie Griffin.
The team bounced back against Nanti-
coke on Tuesday in a 9-5 win. The Pats put
up eight runs in the first three frames to
Nanticoke’s one.
Theresa Domarasky and Adison Hazlet
reached base to start the game and both
scored on a Laruen Dragon single. Drag-
on, Hazlet, and Domarasky would prove
as keys in the game all scoring twice.
Julie Silinskie, Mindina Lieback, and
Allie Barber would account for the other
three runs.
The Lady Patriots had seven hits in the
game by Dragon, Karuzie, Lieback, and
Allie Barber. Domarasky posted a perfect
3-for-3 day while adding a walk.
"I told them it was up to them what they
wanted to do after yesterday’s game. Today
they told me they wanted to keep working
and win. We came out on fire, which was
important, and I’m proud of the way they
bounced back today," Griffin said.
Baloga threw a two-hit, shut out on
Thursday when the Lady Patriots took on
Coughlin.
Pittston Area put up nine runs on 12 hits.
Lauren Dragon and Megan Karuzie had
multiple hits in the game supplemented by
hits from Adison Hazlet, Mindina Lie-
back, Liz Cappelloni and Kassity Roche.
Amanda Radginski added a homerun
and Kaitlin Loftus tripled down the first
base line for PA.
The Patriots are now 6-5 on the season
and look to secure the first winning record
for the Junior High in over four years when
they play Berwick on Tuesday.

 Watch out for ticks and poison ivy
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 22, 2011
I’m looking for a little sympa-
thy here. You have no idea what
it’s like being an outdoor reporter
during the fifth wetness spring on
record? More than half of the sto-
ries we had set up for this week
had to cancel because of the
storm front that parked itself over
the state. Don’t get me wrong, re-
al dedicated outdoor enthusiasts
wouldn’t change their plans be-
cause of a little sprinkle or two
and I consider myself one of
those people. It’s just that our
$40,000 camera gear can only
withstand so much water before
it simply stops working and that’s
with rain gear. It has truly been a
nightmare of a spring for video-
taping outdoor stories.
We did manage to get out for a
story or two for Pennsylvania
Outdoor Life over the past two
weeks. The rain stopped long
enough for us to follow up on a
story we did in Schuylkill Coun-
ty on the re-introduction of
Pheasants. The hope is to estab-
lish a reproducing population
from a few hundred transplanted
birds from Montana. We hit the
fields, armed with radio teleme-
try receivers in search of collared
hen pheasants. We found what
we were looking for plus a few
dozen ticks. Three weeks ago we
noticed an increased number of
ticks in both Wayne and Wyom-
ing Counties as well.
The ticks weren’t hard to find.
After shooting the story, we
headed back to the vehicles to
take off our microphones. It was
then that I noticed a tick crawling
down the side of Pennsylvania
Outdoor Life producer Brian
Hollingshead’s face. I simply re-
ached over and plucked it from
his brow. That simple action
turned out to be the beginning of
a very uncomfortable afternoon.
It seems like when you find one
tick you start thinking that they
are everywhere and it could send
you into a never ending search
for the little critters. This could
drive you nuts. Our tick searches
did discover several other hitch
hiking members of the dog tick
family.
There are about 25 different
ticks that call Pennsylvania
home. While most of them are
annoyances, only a few are
PAGE 56
known to carry diseases from an
infected host to other uninfected
hosts. The most common and
OUTDOORS WITH JAKE
Jordan and Jessica Sleboda of Wyoming each bagged a turkey on the Youth Day Hunt. The twins
will be 13 on May 30.
recognized carrier of disease is
the deer tick. It is known to carry
Lyme disease from infected mice
and deer. I know several people
who are still dealing with the ef-
fects of Lyme disease and it is no
laughing matter. One outdoor
writer from the Poconos ended
up in intensive care because the
Lyme disease spread to his heart.
It is not a matter to take lightly.
If you happen to be bitten by a
tick, remember that signs and
symptoms of Lyme disease begin
to appear, well after that particu-
lar tick is long gone. These signs
and symptoms include a rash, se-
vere flu like symptoms, migrato-
ry joint pain and in some cases
neurological problems like Bell’s
palsy. This is not a complete list
by Don Jacobs
of symptoms, so please visit your
doctor if you are concerned. I do
recommend that you talk about
ticks and Lyme disease with your
veterinarian if you have a dog or
cat that spends time outside.
I don’t want you to be so scared
about ticks that you cancel your
outdoors plans. There are a few
safety measures you can take to
prevent exposure to ticks:
1. Avoid areas with a lot of ticks
as much as possible. Ticks prefer
wooded and bushy areas with
thigh grass and a lot of leaf litter. I
find a lot of them around seclud-
ed swamps and wetlands that
have a large deer population.
2. Keep ticks off your skin.
Wear long pants and tuck your
pants into your socks to keep
ticks off your skin. Light colored
clothing will help you spot ticks
more easily.
3. Use insect repellents on your
skin. Look for EPA-registered re-
pellents. Be sure to follow the in-
structions on the label carefully.
A few repellents are designed to
be sprayed onto clothing instead
of directly on the skin. Ask your
pediatrician about what repel-
lents are safe for your child.
4. Check yourself, your chil-
dren and your pets for ticks care-
fully and promptly remove ticks.
Ticks usually need to feed for at
least 36 hours in order to transmit
Lyme disease, so daily tick
checks and prompt removal of
the ticks prevent infection.
5. Remove a tick with tweez-
ers. Gently grasp the tick near its
head or mouth. Don’t squeeze or
crush the tick, but pull carefully
and steadily. Once you’ve re-
moved the entire tick, dispose of
it and apply antiseptic to the bite
area.
General use of insect repel-
lents will also help mosquitoes.
This wet weather will surely
bring on a large batch of these
biting fly machines. Be sure to
dump out any standing water be-
fore the bugs move in.
Poison Ivy
I have also noticed an in-
creased amount of poison ivy on
my travels. Some researchers
agree that poison ivy is growing
bigger and bigger every year.
Some say the increased amount
of CO2 in the air is helping it to
thrive. I don’t care what’s causing
it. It is bigger and more wide-
spread than ever and for some
people it could mean a horrible
rash and painful experience. Re-
member that all poison ivy has
three leaves, but there are other
plants with three leaves as well. If
you’re not sure, leave it alone.
You can get it from touching it, or
touching something that has tou-
ched it, like your clothes or your
dog. You normally get it from
touching the leaves. Be sure it’s
not in the way of your weed
whacker. Using a weed whacker
to remove poison ivy will result
in spraying your legs with poison
ivy. If you are bare-legged and
get scratches splattered with sap
from poison ivy, you may be
headed to the emergency room.
If you think you have had a poi-
son ivy encounter, it is best to re-
act within the first several hours
by rinsing with lots of cold water
like a garden hose. Hot water will
open your pores and let the oil in.
Taking a shower could be a disas-
ter by spreading the poison ivy all
over the body. Washing with al-
cohol may still help remove the
oil, but many say that after 1/2
hour the oil has already soaked in
and cannot be removed.
This has been a very unusual
spring. Remember to watch out
for ticks and poison ivy. Be sure
to watch Pennsylvania Outdoor
Life tonight at 6:30 p.m. on
WNEP TV. We’ll take you to
Schuylkill County for an update
on the pheasant restoration pro-
ject. Have a great day!

into D2 playoffs first round matches at districts
Wyoming Area on 6-1
spurt after starting 1-6
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
The Wyoming Area baseball
is peaking at the right time.
The Warriors won its sixth
game in its last seven when he
beat back Berwick, 9-4, on
Monday in the Wyoming Valley
Conference Division I-West fi-
nale in Columbia County.
Dylan Maloney pounded out
three hits and drove in three
with a double and two singles as
Wyoming Area (7-7) pounded
out 14 hits, including six for ex-
tra-base hits.
The Warriors broke open a
3-3 game with four runs in the
top of the fifth to give senior
Ron Klepadlo. Klepadlo
pitched four innings, allowing
just three hits and two earned
runs. Maloney and Kody Now-
icki came out of the pen to pre-
serve the win for WA.
Ryan Carey and PJ Bone
each doubled and singled for
the Warriors, and Klepadlo also
added two hits and an RBI.
Chris Murphy also stayed red
hot with a 2-for-2 day at the
plate that included a single and
triple. Kyle Colarusso chipped
in with a double for WA.
OF 7, Mid Valley 2
In his first outing against up-
start Mid Valley, Old Forge
starting pitcher Dave Chromey
lasted just 2.2 innings as he
struggled with his control. Al-
most one month later, the soph-
omore lefty threw a gem at the
Spartans.
Chromey fanned 14 batters
and allowed just an infield sin-
gle in the fifth inning as he
pitched his second complete
game of the season in leading
the Blue Devils to a 9-3 victory
in a Lackawanna League Divi-
sion II game on Monday after-
noon at Spartan Stadium in
Throop.
Old Forge (10-3) gave Chro-
PAGE 58
mey all the support he would
need with two runs in the first
innings as Dave Argust and
Dom Avvisato drew bases-
loaded walks to put the Blue
Devils ahead, 2-0.
A double steal in the second
inning scored Chris Talipski
who had singled to start the in-
ning, and Old Forge added three
more runs in the fourth as Mi-
chael Long and Connor Fultz
drove in runs to take a com-
manding 6-0 lead before adding
a seventh run in the fifth.
Mid Valley scored two un-
earned runs off of Chromey in
the bottom of the fifth.
Mario Martinelli led the Blue
Devils with four hits, and Long
and Talipski both had two hits
for Old Forge.

Matthew
Stephen Peter
Chipolis, 19,
of Harding
was released
to God on Fri-
day, May 13,
2011 after sustaining injuries
from a motorcycle accident.
Born in Kingston on April
9, 1992, he was the beloved
son of Stephen and Gina Ro-
mani Chipolis of Harding.
Matthew was an active and
committed member of the
Corpus Christi Parish,
Church of the Holy Redeem-
er, Harding. There he had
served as an altar server and
participated in the Living
Stations.
Matthew graduated from
Wyoming Area High School
in 2010 and was attending
Luzerne County Community
College where he was study-
ing electrical engineering.
Matthew enjoyed playing
football since he was a young
boy and was a proud member
of the Wyoming Area War-
rior Football Team, wearing
number 26. He was a versa-
tile player, often positioned
as a fullback or noseguard,
but could also be counted on
as a linebacker. He enjoyed
hunting and f ishing. His dad
was his hunting partner and
he and his younger brother,
Christopher, shared many
family memories of summer
vacations f ishing and tubing
at his grandpa and grandma
Chipolis’ cottage on Black
Lake.
Matthew was a kind, caring
and giving young man and
appreciated family. He was
about to take on the role of
fatherhood himself, before

his young life was cut short.
The name Matthew means
Gift of God, and to his par-
ents he was just that, a Gift of
God.
As a final gesture of his
giving and loving nature,
Matthew made a selfless de-
cision and passed on God’s
Gift by being an organ donor
through the Gift of Life Or-
ganization. Because of this,
five individuals received
transplants. Matthew’s heart,
both lungs, his liver, pan-
creas and both kidneys were
donated to local patients
waiting for the life saving
gift of an organ. Matthew’s
corneas will also help two
people regain their sight.
Matthew was preceded in
death by his maternal grand-
father, Peter J. Romani.
In addition to his parents,
Matthew is survived by his
beloved brother, Christoph-
er, at home; f iancé Cathryn
Glycenfer; paternal grand-

Pittston Area Student Council holds Adopt a Highway cleanup

Highway clean-up
By: Jordan Gruttadauria
The Pittston Area Student
Council held this year’s second
Adopt a Highway cleanup on
Saturday, April 30. The stu-
dents arrived at 9am and
cleaned the span of road in
front of the high school, start-
ing at the beginning of Stout
Street and ending near the Ob-
lates.
The students were able to
help the environment and make
the community a better place,
but also had the pleasure of
discovering the weird items
that people carelessly throw out
their windows. “ We found
many strange things”, said Pitt-
ston Area Junior Sarah Kosik.
Among the weird items were a
bag of baby carrots and a hook
to name a few. Even though
this job seems undesirable to
some, these students volun-
teered their time in order to
make the community a nicer
place to live.
Pictured in first row,
hunched over students: Liz
McKitish, Amanda Tracy, Ja-
mie Lee, Carly Bellas, and Da-
nielle Dorosky. Second row:
Julia Shandra, Jessica Oliveri,
Shelby Smith, Kaylene Sut-
kowski, Emily Zielinski, and
Jordan Gruttadauria. Third
row: Matt Shamnoski, James
LaMarca, Sarah Kosik, Britta-
ny Czerniekowski, Emily Zu-
rek, and John Lombardo.
