I had almost forgotten that
while I was not editor of the
Dispatch in the 90s, I did have
a column for a couple of years,
and, yes, it was Ed Ackerman,
optimist even then. This came
back when I was searching for
something in a paper from July
of 1997 and there I was on page
15, sharing the page with an ad
for the St. Maria Goretti Festiv-
al. I have considerably more
hair in the 1997 column photo
and its black, if you can believe
that. The column I wrote in that
issue appeared under the same
headline you see above. Here is
that 97 column:
My electric hedge trimmer
did me a favor the other day. It
broke.
No, that didnt get me out of
trimming the hedges. Hardly.
What it did was force me to use
my old hand clippers you
know, the ones that look like a
big scissors and in doing so,
what I had perceived as a task
turned into a trip a trip back
in time.
With the first snip, I was
eleven years old. Thats when I
trimmed my first hedge.
It was a hot, steamy summer
that year much like this and
the hedges between our house
and Joe and Mary Kennedys
were out of control. By the time
Dad got home from working in
a sweltering factory every day,
he just couldnt face them.
Maybe tomorrow, hed say.
But true to form tomor-
row never came. And the
hedges grew wilder and wilder
something Dad, bless his
heart, could easily live with but
the Kennedys, God love them,
could not. To my knowledge
they never said anything, but
they were the type of people
who didnt have to. They had
body language down to a sci-
ence and even at that tender age
I could tell Dad was starting to
squirm.
The hedges towered a good
foot-and-a-half over my head
the morning I decided to take
matters into my own hands. It
took some convincing but once
mom got past the losing a
finger thing, she saw my
point. Dad needed me. And
although I didnt quite grasp it
at the time, I needed to be
needed.
So, standing on a kitchen
chair, I began a job that was to
become my first brush with
heroism. And, if youll forgive
the lack of modesty, the effort
was truly heroic. If it werent, I
doubt I could have completed
it. You see, the hedges were not
only over five feet high, but
also ran a full 50 feet in length
and it wasnt long before I
began to: 1. wonder what I had
gotten myself into; and 2. fully
understand Dads procrastina-
tion.
The thrill of using a tool as
dangerous as the hedge clippers
lasted, oh, five minutes. After
that all I wanted to do was quit
and go play baseball. But I
could clearly see that quitting
was out of the question. The
hero thing had already started
to kick in.
Eddies cutting the hedges,
I could hear Mom in the kitch-
en telling someone on the
phone. Yes, the high ones
between us and the Kennedys.
Eleven. I know, but he really
wanted to.
Eddies cutting the hedges,
I could hear my sister Sheila
telling my other sister Barbie
and soon the two of them were
standing near the chair watch-
ing me along with my kid
brother Billy who, I could tell,
would have given anything to
get his hands on those clippers.
Eddie, is that you cutting the
hedges? Mrs. Kennedy yelled
out of an upstairs window.
Hours later, with the job nearly
finished, she opened the same
window and tossed out an enve-
lope containing two dollars in
quarters.
All of which made it impos-
sible to quit, but, in some
strange way, also gave me the
strength to go on ... that and the
thought of Dad coming home
to find the job all done.
It was the first time in my life
I had challenged myself, my
first experience with taking on
something bigger than I, and
the first time I was ever in a
situation in which there was no
backing down. It felt good.
Dads reaction didnt dis-
appoint. He wasnt a gushy man
far from it but he couldnt
hide his joy that night. I had
accomplished something he did
not think me capable of. And at
the same time, I had done him a
big favor. He didnt go hugging
me or anything, but he didnt
have to.
Other than Mrs. Kennedys
two dollars, there was no fi-
nancial reward. And the won-
derful feelings I took to bed
that night were soon tempered
by the realization that the job
was now mine forevermore.
But I learned a lot that day.
About challenges and about
pain. And about work and
about commitment. About
family and about growing up.
And about my Dad and about
me.
Fifty years later, I still trim
hedges. But these days its just
a chore.
Ed Ackerman, optimist

If Pittston becomes a home
rule city what will that mean for
the street department, the fire de-
partment, the method of taxation
or even the very structure of the
city government?
The answer said city manager
Joe Moskovitz is lets find out.
Lets not frontload the conclu-
sions, Moskowitz said. Lets
have the study.
Whether there is a study or not
will be up to the voters in the city
in the November election. Coun-
cil read the proposed home rule
study ordinance for the second
and final time at Wednesday
nights council meeting. Council
passed the ordinance on first
reading on July 7.
In November city voters will
find a question on the ballot ask-
ing them if they want to approve
or deny a home rule study and
elect a slate of seven candidates
to serve on the study commis-
sion.
The process calls for study
commission would-be candi-
dates to circulate nomination
petitions for a three week period.
To get on the ballot the would-be
candidates will have to acquire a
number of signatures equal to
2% of voters who voted in the
Pittston in the last gubernatorial
election, estimated to be about
4,000. That means would-be
candidates will need about 80
signatures on their non-partisan
nomination petitions to get on
the ballot.
The ballot question will read
something like this: Shall a gov-
ernment study commission of
seven members be elected to
study the existing form of gov-
ernment of the municipality, to
consider the advisability of the
adoption of a home rule charter;
and if advisable, to draft and to
recommend a home rule char-
ter?
Moskovitz said the city ad-
ministration hopes the voters
will approve the study.
Moskovitz likened home rule
to the Uniform Construction
Code which took effect in 2004.
Theres a parallel between the
UCC and home rule, Mosko-
vitz. The UCCcreated a base of
regulations for construction
which municipalities could not
go below, but allowed munici-
palities to create stricter regula-
tions. In much the same way
while the city will remain a third
class city guided by code, but
with home rule the city will have
more flexibility with things like
the tax structure.
Another way home rule is de-
scribed is that local governments
without home rule can only act
where specifically authorized by
state law; home rule municipal-
ities can act anywhere except
where they are specifically limit-
ed by state law.
While there could be other
ramifications of home rule, the
main reason the administration
wants Pittston to adopt home
rule is so the city can address the
problemof high real estate taxes,
which at 6.85 mills are the high-
est by millage in the county.
Moskovitz said the millage
rate can be misleading because
while the city millage is high, the
amount of revenue the real estate
tax raises is lower in real dollars
than many other county munici-
palities because the median as-
sessed value of homes in the city
is low. Compare the actual
money and youll find that many
home owners in the city are not
paying more than our neighbors
West Pittston, Jenkins Township
and Pittston Township.
That said, Moskowitz said the
highreal estate taxis unfair tose-
nior citizen home owners on
fixed incomes who are a large
segment of the citys population
and home rule would help those
seniors by allowing the city to
raise the income tax rate and off-
set the real estate rate.
Under one scenario under
home rule the city would double
the earned income tax from .5
percent to1percent which would
bring in $600,000 above the real
estate revenue of about $2 mil-
lion. In the first year the city
would not lower the real estate
taxes giving the city its first sur-
plus in decades. Then in the sec-
ond year the city could begin
phasing in a lowering real estate
taxes. Under that plan the wage
earners whose income tax went
up would see a reduction in their
real estate taxes along with all
other property owners.
Understandably some resi-
dents view home rule with skep-
ticism fearing its a money grab,
its not, Moskovitz said.
Moskovitz said the city isnt
going to institute any new pro-
grams, but needs more money to
meet its obligations. While the
revenue fromreal estate taxes re-
mains fairly stagnant the cost of
running the city goes up. For ex-
ample fuel costs are 60 percent
higher in 2011 than expected.
Keeping the real estate mile-
age in check will not only help
the citys seniors it can also help
improve the citys housing stock.
Moskovitz said its hard to mar-
ket the housing stock to younger
potential homeowners who
would improve the properties
whenthe real estate taxis highest
tax rate highest in the county.
Councilman Mike Lombardo
said hes hearing from residents
who are worried that future ad-
ministrations might abuse the
ability to raise income taxes and/
or renege onthe promise tolower
the millage. Were doing what
we think is the right thing now,
Lombardo said. Property taxes
are too high and we hear you.
This is what we are going to do
about it. If we dont do this we
will be the only city in the county
without home rule.
Lombardo said safeguards
could be written into the home
rule charter and the residents can
have an impact by bringing up
their concerns at the study com-
missions public meetings.
Although restructuring the tax
structure is the main benefit of
home rule, there are other things
in the structure of the govern-
Home rule is a long way from home free
City voters will decide in November if a home rule study will be undertaken

When West Pittston Borough
council passed an anti-nepotism
and ethics ordinance at its July
meeting the vote was 4-0. Three
council members John Hood,
Barry Hosier and Barry Stankus
were absent.
Some residents speculated
their absence was a form of pro-
test because the three wanted the
borough to hire Hosiers son,
Barry Jr., as a police officer.
Stankus dismissed that as a ru-
mor. I heard the same thing
about town, Stankus said. He
said he didnt attend the meeting
because he was on medication
after surgery for an abscessed
tooth. The kind of medication I
was on, it wouldnt have been ap-
propriate to be at the meeting.
Stankus said he supports a no
nepotism ordinance in the bor-
ough even stronger than the one
passed. It didnt go far enough,
he said. I cant vote to hire my
son, but I can vote to hire my
son-in-law. I think it should be
extended to all immediate fam-
ily, aunts, uncles, in-laws.
Just as it was rumored the
three skipped the vote as a pro-
test, it was also rumored council-
man JimRose introduced the or-
dinance specifically to target
Hosier.
Rose made a strong denial to
that. Thats absolutely not the
case. It was certainlynot totarget
Hosier. Its kind of insulting that
anyone would suggest that an
ethics policy or anti-nepotism
policy would be used as a tool to
attack another person. Thats the
kind of thing we are trying to
stop. I got the idea during the
Munchak and Cordaro hearings
and I talked to our solicitor. In
my mind it was just a culmina-
tion of whats been going on in
the counties. Granted West Pitt-
ston is just a small borough, but
we have to starts somewhere, we
have to put a stop to it.
Mayor Tony Denisco agreed.
It wasnt to target anybody, it
was just because of whats been
going on, he said, referring to
nepotism being in the news late-
ly.
Council president Brian
Thornton said the three council-
men who did not vote also did
not come to the work session the
week before the public meeting
when the ordinance was dis-
cussed. He said in his six years
on council, he cant remember a
time when the same three mem-
bers missed consecutive meet-
ings. He doesnt ascribe any
meaning to their absences, but
wishes they would have been
there for the discussions.
The salient clause in the anti-
nepotismclause of the ordinance
is: Immediate family members
of elected officials are disquali-
fied from being hired for paid
employment with the borough.
Another clause reads: No
person shall be hired by the bor-
ough in a position where the per-
son will supervise or be super-
vised by a member of the per-
sons immediate family.
The ordinances are not retro-
active to current employees.
Rose said its important to note
the ordinance isnt just about
nepotism. It also includes an eth-
ics code which spells out actions
which are conflicts of interest.

cilman Thornton said the sewer

Dispatch Associate Editor
Jack Smiles didnt set out to
write a trilogy of breaker boy-
to-Baseball Hall of Fame
books, but with the release of
his biography of Hughestowns
Bucky Harris, he has accom-
plished just that.
The book Bucky Harris, a
Biography of Baseballs Boy
Wonder is published by
McFarland & Company.
Smiles took more than two
years writing and researching
the book, which is 320 pages
and contains 33 photos, appen-
dix, notes, bibliography, and
index.
On Wednesday, July 27, be-
ginning at 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 at
the Hughestown Hose Compa-
ny and Smiles are hosting a
book release party, discussion
and signing in the Hose Com-
pany banquet room.
The Hose Company agreed
to host the event as Bucky was
a member and played for the
companys basketball team.
The book contains a photo of
Bucky with the 1910 Hose
Company basketball team.
While Harris is not tech-
nically a local native he was
born in Port Jervis, New Jer-
sey, in 1896 his father moved
the family here when Bucky
was three and Buckys early
life was all about the Center
Street-Rock Street area of
Hughestown.
He grew up on Rock Street,
hung out at Pete Smaltzs Ci-
gar Store on Center Street,
worked at the no. 9 shaft, and
played baseball for the St. Pe-
ters Lutheran Church Sunday
School team.
He is buried in St. Peters
Cemetery.
In the 1920 census Bucky
was counted in Hughestown
on Rock Street and listed as a
weighmaster in a colliery.
Just four years later, at the
age of 27, Bucky aka The
Boy Wonder as the manag-
er and second baseman of the
Washington Senators led the
team to its only World Series
championship in an upset so
stunning it was the inspiration
for the Broadway play Damn
Yankees.
Bucky also managed the
1947 World Champion Yan-
kees
The book chronicles Buckys
transformation from an ob-
scure breaker boy with dirt
under his nails to the toast of
our nations capital where the
president of the United States
was a guest at his wedding and
includes his stint as a profes-
sional basketball player, his
early days as a baseball player,
and his role in the racial in-
tegration of both the Senators
and the Boston Red Sox.

Jack Smiles authors book on Hall of Fame baseball manager who grew up in Hughestown
Special to the Dispatch
ment which could be studied and
recommend for change. For ex-
ample now the city council
members are the directors of de-
partments such as public works
and fire and police.
As most of the council mem-
bers have fulltime jobs and do
not necessarily have the exper-
tise to run a department the study
commission could recommend
changing that structure.
As to the cost of the study,
Moskovitz said it will be mini-
mal. The administration will
not be bringing in consultants to
help the study group. It will be a
citizen group.
While the cities in the county
have adopted home rule or are in
the process and while the major-
ity of third class cities in the state
have adopted home rule its not a
cure-all for the problems of run-
ning small cities.
Its not a silver bullet, its a
tool, Moskovitz said.
But as Moskovitz said, every-
thing is speculation unless the
voters approve the study com-
mission and then approve of the
charter the commission creates,
a process which could take until
May or even the following No-
vember. There is a link to a home
rule explanation on the citys
website at www.pittstoncity.org.

Kelly McCabe earliest memo-
ry of the Pittston YMCAis from
when she was about 7. I cant
remember much about it but I
was definitely a summer camp
kid, she said.
From there she grew up in the
Y. Going from taking spin class-
es to teaching them.
I always taught within YM-
CAs and community centers and
I knew that I wanted to be in a
management position in a com-
munity center rather than a strict
fitness center, said McCabe.
She earned an Exercise Sci-
ence, Health and Physical Activ-
ity degree at the University of
Pittsburgh and then went back to
the place where it all started. She
has been the Director of Gym-
nastics at the Pittston YMCA
since June, 2010.
To come to the place where I
started, to come full circle was
really nice, said McCabe.
Factoring in work hours and
workout times she spends about
60 hours at the YMCA every
week, and has much to show for
it. One of the biggest things that
she played a monumental part in
was the 5k race held last October
and planned again for this year.
It was the first big event that I
planned since being in this posi-
tion and seeing the event from
start to finish, and it being such a
success was really rewarding,
said McCabe.
She divulged the bottom line
as towhyshe works for andat the
Y. Were more than a fitness
center, we have a family here,
were not just a cookie cutter
gym, she said. The best part
about the Y I think is that its
more than just a gym, a pool, and
a basketball court. We do so
much more with the communi-
ty.
The YMCA really does
change lives in the communi-
ty, as the theme of the current
fundraising campaign says. No
matter how small of a contribu-
tion, they will gladly accept it.
To help them help others go
the GreaterPittstonYMCA.org
or call 570-655-2255 or just visit
at 10 N. Main Street.
Dont forget, all gymnasts and
potential gymnasts are invited to
attend the upcoming camp from
August 8 to 10.

Pittston is one of the few third class ci-
ties in the state which has not adopted a
home rule charter. If the current city ad-
ministration gets its way that will change
soon.
The city council approved a home rule
study ordinance at Wednesday nights
council meeting. That means a ballot
question will be on the ballot in the May
primary in Pittston. The question will ask
voters to approve or deny the formation of
a home rule study commission and elect a
seven member commission.
If the study is approved the voters will
be asked in a subsequent election to ap-
prove or reject the home rule charter the
study commission recommends.
We hope the voters say yes to both.
Home rule will give the city more flex-
ibility in running its affairs.
One of the main selling points, the ad-
ministration hopes, is home rule will give
the city the ability to raise the earned in-
come or wage tax in the city.
We dont like to editorialize in favor of
higher taxes, but we recognize in this case
it is a necessary evil. The citys real estate
taxes are already the highest in the county.
The citys real estate tax revenue is its ma-
jor source of revenue. That revenue does
not up much from year to year, while the
cost of running the city does. Fuel costs,
for example, are 60 percent above expec-
tations. As things are, a harsh winter can
wreck a budget.
The city needs more money to keep
running and a little nest egg for emergen-
cies. Raising the wage tax can do that and
allowthe citytolower the real estate taxes,
which are a burden to our many fixed-in-
come seniors.
And it is hoped lowering the real estate
taxes will encourage new, younger work-
ers to buy into the citys housing stock.
Some residents are afraid the city will
spend the new revenue and not lower real
estate taxes if home rule happens.
To prevent that citizens must go to the
study commissions public meetings, as-
sumingthe studyis approved, andholdthe
members feet to the fire to find a way to
make sure the real estate taxes are re-
duced.
Be careful in the heat
It was so hot last week Coopers Cabana
had to close. When an outdoor bar has to
close, you knowthe heat is dangerous. We
worry about the effect of the extreme heat
on or senior citizens. If you have elderly
relatives or neighbors, check on themand
make sure they are coping.
Lets make home
rule a home run
This is an open thank you to Monsignor Bendik! What won-
derful news to read in the Times Leader (7/6/11) that the magnif-
icent organ from St. Casimirs Lithuanian Church will live on at
St. Nicholas Church in Wilkes-Barre.
We can all be sure that numerous generations of parishioners
are smiling about it. Among them, my parents, Peter and Mary
(Masonis) Kizis, who were baptized, married and buried from
that parish.
And, further, all six of their children sang in the choir. I, for
one, remember two outstanding organists, Professor Kudirka
and Professor Voveris.
And, no, we were never allowed to miss choir practice!
Thankyouagain, Msgr. Bendik, for praisingGodbyproviding
future generations the opportunity of hearing heavenly music.

Freezing is a quick and easy way to preserve food so we can enjoy
fruits and vegetables all year round. While freezing is simple to do, it
does require following USDA recommendations to ensure a safe,
high quality frozen product.
Beloware some suggestions for goodfreezingresults fromNation-
al Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP).
Freeze the best. Use vegetables at peak flavor and texture. Pep-
pers, beans and snap peas are now available at the markets if you
dont have a backyard garden.
Whenever you can, harvest in the morning and freeze the veggies
within a few hours. Wash them thoroughly in cold water and sort
them according to size for blanching and packing.
Blanch vegetables before freezing. For the best frozen-food
quality and shelf life, always blanch vegetables (scald themin boiling
water or steam for a short time).
Blanching stops the action of enzymes that can cause loss of flavor,
color and texture. Blanching time is crucial and it varies with the
vegetable and its size. Under blanching stimulates the enzymes ac-
tivity. Its worse than not blanching at all.
Andover blanchingcancause the loss of flavor, color, vitamins and
minerals. For specific blanching times, either call your local Penn
State Cooperative Extension office or visit the web sites listed below.
We are offering a one page fact sheet which reviews how to blanch
local farm fresh produce. To begin, here are brief instructions to get
you started.
Boiling is the most widely recommended way to blanch vegeta-
bles.
Use1gallon of water per pound of vegetables. Put the vegetables in
a blanching basket and lower them into vigorously boiling water.
Place a lid on the pot and start counting blanching time as soon as the
water returns to a boil.
Chill.
As soon as blanching is complete, cool the vegetables quickly to
stop the cooking process by plunging the basket of vegetables imme-
diately into a large quantity of cold water. Cool them as long as you
blanched them.
Drain the vegetables completely after cooling. Most foods require
headspace between the packed food and closure to allow for expan-
sion as they freeze. Headspace recommendations can be found at the
web sites listed below.
All packaged food should be at roomtemperature or cooler before
you put them in the freezer.
Dont overload your freezer with too much warmfood at one time.
Freeze fast.
Quick freezing is best for frozen food quality. Spread the new
packages around until theyre frozen.
Then you can stack them. Be sure to label all foods with the name
of the food, date and type of pack. Most fruits and vegetables will
remain high in quality for eight to 12 months.
Longer storage wont make the food unfit but may impair its qual-
ity. Its a goodidea topost a list of the frozenfoods withfreezingdates
near the freezer.
Check the packages off the list as theyre removed.
Try this lowcalories high nutrient salad which is made fromvege-
tables that can be found at the local farmers market.

ris, a Biography of Baseballs Boy Wonder. Pub-

for $25
Bucky Harris is a Hall of Fame baseball play-
er-manager from Hughestown. So why, as I
wrote and researched a book about him, could I
not stop thinking about basketball? Not just
thinking about basketball, but imagining myself
in a crowd of some 2,000 crazy fans circa 1915
watching Bucky and his brother Merle play for
the Pittston Pitts against the Wilkes-Barre Barons
or Scranton Miners in the professional Penn State
League.
Maybe, as I am imbued with old time baseball,
my fascination with the old time basketball I
found in my research is because it is new to me.
The game I imagine myself attending is down
on Main Street in the armory, which is today the
Sapphire Salon. My adult ticket cost 50 cents. I
pull a flask out of my inside pocket and take a
swig. I light up a cigar. Nobody cares, because
most of the fans, who are mostly men, are doing
the same. A miner a few seats away heats a bolt
with his lamp and throws it through a tear in the
cage that surrounds the basketball floor toward
one of the Pitts opponents and he and his friends
roar with laughter.
The games lone and beleaguered referee,
afraid to look away from the game as a fight
might break out, kicks the bolt away. If there is a
fight theres a good chance Bucky Harris will be
in it, much to my delight.
The game is strange and new. So new, many of
the players are older than the game. It is difficult
to play. The baskets have no backboards. The
defense is fierce, especially away from the ball
where players are picked off, knocked down and
pinned against the cage. Only fouls against shoo-
ters lead to free throws. Other shots are made
only two ways: From under the basket after a
string of passes gets a player free or two handed
from 20 or more feet away. Scores are typically
in the teens and 20s. There is a center jump after
every basket, so a tall player who can jump is all
important.
Within a few years I will not see Bucky Harris
play with the Pitts any more.
Clarke Griffith, the owner of the Washington
Senators baseball team, will make him give up
the cage for a full-time job as the Senators sec-
ond baseman and by 1924 second baseman and
manager.
Buckys story is so wondrous it almost seems
like the stuff of fiction and in fact part of it is the
stuff of fiction.
In 1924 Griffith named Bucky the Senators
manager. Bucky was 27 and the full time second
baseman. The baseball writers derisively called
Bucky The Boy Wonder and Griffiths Folly.
But that year Bucky led the long-suffering Sen-
ators to an upset of the three-time defending
champion Yankees and won the capitals first
American League pennant. It was an upset so
monumental it is said to be part of the inspiration
for the 1954 novel The Year the Yankees Lost the
Pennant, which later became the Broadway play
Damn Yankees.
The back story is just as surreal. In it a small,
socially-awkward, uneducated coal miner finds
himself the toast of the nations capital, married
to a senators daughter with the president of the
United States as a guest.
I can only hope I did this amazing man justice
with my book.

Bucky story seems like fiction
Bucky Harris rounds first after getting a hit against the Yankees as Lou Gehrig makes sure Bucky
tags the bag. Probably in 1925 the year Gehrig started his famous games-played streak. The photo is

Question #1
In 1953, the Grea-
ter Pittston Jaycees
presented the Pittston
Hospital with an
Isolette, or incubator,
which provided a con-
stant temperature and oxygen supply to
premature infants over a four to six
week period. What strange way was this
medical device introduced to the world?
1953 58 Years Ago
As news of two hometown boys, Pvt.
John Kundratic of Port Griffith, and
Pvt. Johnny Powell of Browntown,
reached their loved ones in July of 1953:
the Sunday Dispatch went to press an-
nouncing a possible armistice signed
ending the Korean War.
In announcing the agreement ending
the first war involving the United Na-
tions, President Dwight D. Eisenhower
told the American people, Now as we
strive to bring about that wisdom, there
is, in this moment of sober satisfaction,
one thought that must discipline our
emotions and steady our resolution. It is
this: We have won an armistice on a
single battleground, not peace in the
world. We may not now relax our guard
nor cease our quest.
Pvt. Kundratic was killed in action;
Pvt. Powell was listed as missing in
action.
A complete list of Luzerne County
soldiers killed in action in the Korean
War can be found at geneologytrail-
s.com
Patsy Troiano of Pittston found him-
self disabled and out of work in the early
40s. Doctors diagnosed him with spinal
arthritis. After seven years of treatment
for his condition, he gradually started to
improve and searched for an activity that
would aid in his recovery. Calling upon
his farming experience, he planted a
small vegetable garden. By 1953, he had
300 tomato plants each one bearing 25
to 40 tomatoes.
Commenting on his experience, Patsy
said, If people would plant a small
garden they could provide themselves
with food, and would have less time to
talk about their fellow man.
Manager Frank Petroziellos Pittston
Little League All Stars were only four
games away from heading to William-
sport and the World Series. Tommy
Keen, the leading home run hitter,
helped down South Scranton and Du-
pont in the playoffs. Bobby Knowles
and Eugene Thomas rounded out the
pitching staff both leading in strikeouts.
Batters Sammy Scalzo, Yogi DiBuo-
no, Art Bruno, Fred Gubitose, Steven
Levanavage and Frank Tribett were
expected to compile hits against their
next opponent, the Moosic All Stars.
1963 48 Years Ago
Young David Bartuska of Duryea
was a hero. He saved Charles Jackson
from drowning near Coxton. Soon after,
David along with his Mom Bernice
were on their way to New York to ap-
pear on To Tell The Truth a television
show pitting a panel against three con-
testants, two of which pretended to be
the central character.
The panel had to choose which con-
testant was telling the truth. The show
ran from1956 to 1968 on CBS then in
syndication up to 2002.
Organized in 1957, the West Pittston
Teeners baseball league started with just
two teams; by 1963, the league grew to
five teams. The Pittston Lodge of Elks
No. 382 donated balls and bats to the
growing league before a regular game at
the West Pittston stadium.
A total of 65 boys between the ages of
13 and 16 participated and it was report-
ed the league was supported by ten citi-
zens of West Pittston who would rather
remain incognito.
Old Forge took the Lackawanna
American Legion Baseball League
Championship with the excellent play of
teammates Ivan Tylawski of Duryea,
Joe Dougher, Jay Rowan and Art
Humble of Jenkins Township. The team
was set to compete in the state finals.
As the Choir at St. Roccos Church
celebrated its first anniversary of orga-
nization, the women were dressed in
their Sunday best complete with fash-
ionable hats and white gloves, the men
wore suits and ties.
The first members of the choir were
Clarence Smith, Josephine Talipan,
Madeline Sciandra, Angela Agliata,
Columbia Acquisto, Angela Borzell,
Rose Mary Maira, Gertrude Tramon-
tana. Josephine Piccillo, Rose Mary
Amico, Rose Borino, Mary Aquilina,
Mary Ann Scalzo, Florence Ferrugia,
Ann Mare Scalzo, Rose Martorana,
John Amico, Bert Orlando, James
Giambra, Frank Grillo, Billy Falzone,

Pavlico. Angelo Marceno, Joseph Sa-
latino, Salvatore Locascio, Patrick
Aquilina, Sebastian Gattuso, Santo
Riggi, Anthony Giuliano, Daniel Li-
mongelli, Carmen Insalaco, Joseph
Burini, Ann Gallo, Mary Ranieli,
Rose Ann Favata, Patricia Maria, and
Rose Mary Sciandra.
Question #2
In 1963, a remnant of Avocas history
was spotlighted in the Sunday Dispatch.
Its location was listed as North Main
Street a few yards from the Duryea
Borough boundary.
What was it?
1973 38 Years Ago
In July of 1973, approximately 30
children in West Pittston were busy
designing and constructing a stage set-
ting at the gymnasium at the Luzerne
Avenue Playground. The original play
included a castle, costumes, musical
score and a cast of good and evil
doers. Overseeing the event were Mary
Franey, Kathy Keder, Nick Anzelmi,
Mary Frency, Marie Hogan, Jack
Hoover, Lydia Naples, Corrine Noto
and Cathy Serino. The cast and crew
attended a party following the presenta-
tion.
Esther Tinsley, Administrator of
Pittston Hospita,l submitted the hospi-
tals 80th annual report to the board of
directors listing 2,874 patients admitted,
a daily average of 76 patients at a total
cost of $1,644,503.99.
The average per capita cost per day
was listed at $59.20. The hospital em-
ployed 110 full-time and 90 part-time
employees, the payroll for the year
$906,382.
Tinsley gave credit to the medical and
nursing staff, hospital auxiliary, Pink
Lady Service, surgical dressing commit-
tee, hospitality shop and candy strippers.
Top ten songs in July 1973:
1. Kodachrome, Paul Simon.
2. Willy Go Round in Circles, Billy
Preston.
3.One of a Kind, Spinners.
4. Shambala, 3 Dog Night.
5. Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, Bette
Midler.
6.Yesterday Once More, Carpenters.
7.Long Train Runnin, Doobie Broth-
ers.
8. Wildflower, Skylark. 9.
Big Bad Leroy Brown, Jim Croce.
10. Give Me Peace, George Harrison.
1983 28 Years Ago
After eight years of providing fans in
Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania
with country rock favorites the self-
proclaimed Pittston based band Abilene
announced that they would stop per-
forming in 1983. Jimmy Musto, Joe
Pacuska, Lee Calabro Joe Wascavage
and new members Bob Bartoli and Joe
Andes decided to announce their deci-
sion in the Sunday Dispatch as Musto
commented, Was one of the only news-
papers that gave us good ink.
The band planned a final show and
invited former members Mike Garzella,
John Abent and Leo Mancini among
others to take the stage at the Station in
Wilkes-Barre. Musto credited Bozo
Connors, the bands sound tech, with
helping to make the band one of the
areas favorites. Among the many high-
lights, the band opened for Billy Joel
and Lacy J. Dalton, appeared on local
television shows and played in many
large venues.
Exeters Deanna Cassetori, repre-
senting Wyoming Areas Swim Club,
placed 11th among 70 competitors in the
50-meter freestyle at the Eastern USA
Long Course Swimming Champion-
ships held in Laflin.
Nadine Pribula finished in the top
ten in the 100-meter butterfly. Karen
Winsock had an excellent showing in
the 50, 400 and 800-meter freestyle
events. Times for the prestigious event
could be used qualifying for national
events.
Answer #1
According to neonatology.org, Dr.
Martin A. Couney, a specialist in pre-
mature newborns, traveled the world
exhibiting the Isolettes with premature
babies onboard at World Fairs and Ex-
positions in the late 1800s and well into
the 1900s.
Couney charged admission and used
the exhibit as a sideshow. One of his last
exhibits was the New York Worlds Fair
and an exhibit in Atlantic City.
A bronze tablet was placed on the wall
next to the entrance of a Holiday Inn on
the boardwalk to mark the site. It noted
that Dr. Couney was the first person in
the United States to offer specialized
care for premature infants.
Answer #2
A concrete hitching post reminiscent
of the horse and buggy days located on
North Main Street in Avoca provided
curbside tethering for horse drawn
carriages before the arrival of the Model
T in the early 1900s.
Youll always miss 100% of the shots
you dont take.

The Stephanie Jallen Paralympic Fund - 5th Annual Motorcycle
Run/Picnic recently took place starting in West Wyoming and end-
ing at the Holy Child Fairgrounds in Nanticoke.
More than 200 bikes and riders participated in the run in support
of Stephanies bid to race in the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in
Moscow, Russia.
Stephanie was born with CHILD Syndrome (Congenital Hemi-
dysplasia with Ichthyosis and Limb Defects) which left her with on-
ly one leg and one arm. CHILDSyndrome is a very rare disease that
occurs mostly in females.
Money raised goes towards Stephenies training expenses which
takes her all over the country and world.
If you are interested in aiding Stephanie in her dream, you can
donate to The Stephanie Jallen Paralympic Fund, Cross Valley Fed-
eral Credit Union, PO Box 597, Wilkes-Barre, PA18703 or to Ste-
phanie Jallen, PO Box 128, Dallas, PA18612.

(D.U.I)
A West Wyoming family has
preserved a piece of Scranton
history by reopening the legend-
ary Smiths Restaurant which
operated at 1402 Cedar Avenue
in Scranton for 76 years was
closed in 2010. Dave Smith of
West Wyoming, no relation to
the restaurant Smiths, drove by
the restaurant daily on his way to
work in Scranton.
Knowing his sons and daugh-
ters had tons of experience in the
restaurant business as every-
thing from servers to managers,
he came up with an idea: why
dont the Smiths but Smiths?
They did, though it took some
time, Daves daughter Luanne
Stach said. We first looked at
the restaurant in October of 2010
but didnt acquire it until March
24 of this year. Originally, we
had hoped to be opened very
quickly but as with any venture
comes complications. Many
items in the restaurant had to be
brought up to date. The whole
family cleaned, scrubbed and
painted for almost an entire
month before we were able to
open.
The newSmiths had a quiet re-
opening of Smiths on April 19,
2011. The grand opening was
two weeks ago on July 12.
Luanne said the familys consid-
erable restaurant experience was
a big plus. All of us had worked
for a chain Mexican restaurant.
My brother, Dave and I were
managers. My brothers Keith
and Tim worked there in the bar
and kitchen and my sister was a
server. As a familyweve worked
in a lot of different types of res-
taurants in many different roles
fromyour local diner to Dennys.
My sister, Hollie Barto, was
most recently a GM for Dennys
restaurant chain. So we all bring
a little something different to the
table.
My parents, on the other
hand, never worked in or owned
a restaurant before. Because it is
all new to them thats where the
challenge is; explaining sales
trends, money necessary to run a
restaurant, etc.
Smiths was established in
1934 and had a long successful
run with a sterling reputation,
but ran into hard times at the end
and the bank foreclosed in July
of 2010. It was last owned by
State Rep. Ken Smith, D-112,
Dunmore.
The newSmiths is a tradition-
al family-run business. Mom,
Sandie makes most of the soups.
Hollie is a server and cook with
her brother, Tim. Brother Keith
is the marketing guy. Brother
Dave can fix anything. Dave, the
patriarch, who found the restau-
rant, is the paper work man.
Luanne makes the ethnic dishes,
cooks and serves.
Our kids, grandkids, and ex-
tended family all work at the res-
taurant, Luanne said. It is truly
a family restaurant.
Though the new Smiths didnt
retain any of he old Smiths reci-
pes there is something in com-
mon between the old and new
besides a family name turkey.
Apparently they used to wait
around the block for their turkey
dinners, Luanne said. We are
seeing a trend with our turkey
days also. Theyre not around the
block yet but for $6 on Thursday
from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. we serve
turkey, stuffing, mashed pota-
toes, cranberry sauce and a bev-
erage.
The restaurant serves off beat
items such as orange-cranberry
pancakes and peanut butter and
jelly milkshakes and homemade
dishes such as pierogies, haluski
and piggies. Smiths also makes
home-baked bread and offers a
Sunday brunch. Smiths is also
serving daily $6.00 lunch meal
deals such as Meatloaf Monday
and Polish Wednesday.
We have seen a lot of custom-
ers who are new to us who used
to eat at the old Smiths and they
seem to be very pleased, Luann
said. The old Smiths had the
restaurant for 76 years. We can
only hope and pray that we are as
successful as they were.

Jared Saporito, West Wyoming, bowls 300 game
Jared Saporito, 16, of West Wyoming recently received his USBC
ring for bowling a perfect game
project is behind schedule, but
shouldbe done soon. Its 95per-
cent complete, he said. They
should rapping that up in about
three weeks.
Thornton said the delay which
has kept Tunkhannock Avenue
closed at Wyoming Avenue for
three months was caused by a
change in the drainage plan.
Tunkhannock was supposed to
be closed for three weeks. When
they looked underground, they
sawthey had to alter the drainage
and because of the change Penn-
DOT said they had they had to
reapply for a permit. The project
stood still. The public should
know it was PennDOT which
caused the delay.
Engineer Tom Reilly said the
permit issues have been cleared
up and the work is back on track
there. Reillysaidthe catchbasins
and the pipe in the new system
will alleviate the flooding which
occurs on Tunkhannock Avenue
between the railroad bed and Fox
Hill at Packer Avenue.
Thornton said as Tunkhan-
nock is a state road the borough
asked PennDOT to split the cost
of that portion of the project, but
they would not. Thornton said
the PennDOTs position doesnt
make much sense. That flooded
six to 10 times a year. PennDOT
had to send a crewto pump it ev-
ery time. Wouldnt it have more
sense to pay half the cost to fix
it? Its a state road, but they
wouldnt give us a penny.

Runs have not been hard to
come by this season for the
Greater Wyoming Area soft-
ball team and Wednesday
night was no different.
The District 31 champions
exploded on offense, and Ni-
cole Cumbo was terrific in
the circle as GWA smashed
District 17 champ Christy
Mathewson, 14-1, in the
opening round of the Section
5 Little League Junior Soft-
ball Tournament at Tokach
Field in Plains
The Greater Wyoming Ar-
ea offense scored in four of
the five innings played and
batted around the order in
both the third and the fifth
innings
GWA started things off by
taking an early 3-0 lead.
Bree Bednarski and Turner
led off with consecutive sin-
gles before Adrienne Przyby-
la crushed a double over the
centerfielders head allowing
both Bednarski and Turner to
score.
Later in the inning, Emily
Wolfgang hit a sacrifice fly
allowing Przybyla to score
easily from third.
GWA extended their lead
with a five-run third inning.
With the bases loaded and
nobody out, Wolfgang drew a
walk to force Turner home
from third. Drew Bednarski
and Heather Nametko then
hit back-to-back, two-run
doubles to give the locals an
8-0 lead.
Christy Mathewson got one
back in the bottom half of the
third. However it was the on-
ly run the Factoryville-based
team would score all game.
GWAs relentless offensive
attack continued in the
fourth, as they tallied five
more runs in the inning.
Wolfgang, Jordan Kelly,
Lindsay Carey and Drew
Bednarski all had singles in
the inning, and Turner
opened the floodgates with a
bases-clearing triple to give
GWA a 13-0 lead.
Greater Wyoming Area
added its final run in the top
of the fifth when Megan
Bresnahan hit an RBI-single
to centerfield making it a
14-1 game.
Cumbo earned the win, al-
lowing one hit in four innings
of work as she combined
with Lauren Maloney on a
two-hitter. Cumbo struck out
five while walking just two,
and Maloney got three
straight outs after issuing a
leadoff walk in the fifth.
Every hitter in the GWA
starting line up picked up a
hit in the game.
GWA 10, Carbino 6
Nicole Cumbo scattered
six hits and went the distance
to pick up the win as Greater
Wyoming Area advanced to
the Championship Series of
the Section 5 Little League
Junior Softball Tournament
at Tokach Field in Plains
with a 10-6 win over District
32 champion Carbino Club
on Thursday night.
GWA played for the title
last night after Dispatch
deadline in a rematch with
Carbino, which eliminated
Plains. A Greater Wyoming
Area win would put the team
into the Pennsylvania State
Tournament which starts
Wednesday at the Indiana
Little League.
Adrienne Pryzbyla drove in
four runs for GWA on two
hits. Megan Bresnahan added
two hits and an RBI, and Sara
Coolbaugh and Drew Bed-
narski also each drove in a
run for the District 31 cham-
pions.

Two fighters with ties to the
West Sideof Greater Pittstonwent
tobattlelast Saturdayaspart of the
Martial Arts Super Sport (MASS)
Inauguration card at the Mohe-
gan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre
Twp.
Both walked out of the cage as
winners.
WyomingAreawrestlingcoach
Steve Mytych and West Pittstons
Rex T-Rex Harris both earned
victories in the first Mixed Mar-
tial Arts (MMA) event to be held
in Luzerne County.
Mytych, who was just hired a
few weeks ago as the Warriors
new mat coach, defeated Samo
Beharovic by way of triangle cho-
keholdtapout. Withthevictory, he
improved to 3-0 as an amateur
MMAfighter.
Harris, a rising star in the sport
of MMA, fought in the co-main
event of the night, makinghis pro-
fessional debut against Chase
Owens of Freeland. Harris, a for-
mer Wilkes University grappler,
made his debut a memorable one
by forcing the referee to stop the
fight after Owens was injured.
Mytych fought up a weight in
the145-pounddivisionagainst the
6-foot Beharovic. However, being
10pounds lighter andat least three
inches shorter was far from a dis-
advantage for Mytych.
Inthe first round, Mytychwast-
ednotime takingBeharovic tothe
ground. Once on the ground My-
tych threw thunderous punches
andkneestothebody. OnceBeha-
rovicwas winded, Mytychput Be-
harovic in an arm triangle for the
win by submission
Mytych even admitted he may
have generously listed himself at
5-foot-7 going into the event. But,
the three-time NCAA qualifier at
Drexel University, used his small-
er figure to his advantage in the
third fight of the night. He knew
his opponent would be bigger, so
he planned to attack his legs and
get him on the ground where he
clearly had the wrestling advan-
tage.
When I saw him at weigh-ins,
he was actually 6-foot-1 and I am
only5-foot-6. Well Imlyinga bit,
Im actually 5-foot-5, Mytych
said with a chuckle. I knew he
wasgoingtohavethereachonme,
so I didnt want to exchange a
punch and have himcatching it.
So rather than punch his way to
victory, Mytych decided to grap-
ple his way to victory like he has
done many times over the course
of his life.
I figured I was in great shape
and I was going to go for the take-
down and get him on the ground
and wear him down a bit if it got
that far, The all-time leader in
winsat Drexel said. Assoonashe
extended I went low for the take-
downandgot himontheground. I
wasnt letting go, he would have
been there for the whole period.
Mytych was the assistant wres-
tlingcoachat Bloomsburgandfelt
his winwas a great waytostart off
his time back in the area. He is
hoping to earn a spot in the 2012
Olympic Games.
It was a great way to come
home, the fans were great and my
team (Wyoming Area wrestlers)
was here cheering me on, said
Mytych said. I just want to thank
my family and JimHettes for sup-
porting me day in and day out.
Harriss match was much long-
er than Mytychs.
Harrisadmittedhecameout too
fast andgot alittleexcited. But, af-
ter a tough first round, he respon-
ded with a stellar second round.
He didnt allow Owens to get off
themat andusedacombinationof
killer knees to Owens midsection
and mat shattering takedowns to
earn the victory.
Round 1 started swiftly as both
fighters tookturns tradingshots to
boththe headandthe body. Harris
blocked a kick from Owens later
in the round picking him up and
then slamming his head to the
ground twice. Harris continued to
throw punches and elbows to the
back of Owens head. Eventually
the twofighters stoodbackupand
continuedswappingpunches with
one other.
In Round 2, Owens had Harris
locked in a rear naked choke but
Harris showing great heart and
determination simply overpower-
ed Owens. Both wrestled on the
ground, Harris throwing multiple
punches to the back of Owens
head.
In Round 3, both fighters
looked exhausted. Harris dom-
inated the round, throwing punch-
es to Owens face and multiple
knees to his ribs. Once Harris
brought Owens to the ground, he
threw multiple punches to his
face.
The fight would be stopped by
the referee at 4:39 in the final
round due to an injury to Owens
ribs, allowing Harris to secure the
win by TKO.
That was one of the toughest
matches I have ever had. I think I
got a little bit too excited too fast,
Harris said. I come froma back-
groundwhereI dont giveupandI
dont ever quit regardless of how
the fight is going.
The fight was definitely my
toughest match but that means
nothing to me. I knewI was going
to win
Jim Hettes of Swoyersville
who signed a four-fight deal with
major league MMA outfit UFC
after the fight - won the cards
mainevent andimprovedto8-0as
a professional. James Cianci of
Clarks Summit won with a one-
punch knock out, and is now 3-0
as a professional.

Four former members of the
Old Forge HS Softball team, and
two current members, are among
thegroupof players fromtheCon-
nell Park Big League Senior Soft-
ball teamthat advanced to the Big
League Senior Softball Regionals
in Waldorf, MD.
Old Forge graduates Chrissy
Belko, Jess Armillay, Andi Alsa-
lahat and Nicole Marianelli,
along with Blue Devils catcher
Chelsea Cadwalder and outfiel-
der Taylor Nemetz helped lead
Connell Park to a 15-5 win over
Bristol at theStateChampionships
held in Mansfield last weekend.
Connell Park, the District 17
representative, finished as run-
ners-up to state tourney champion
Carbino Club, the District 32 rep-
resentative. Both will travel to the
Regionals which begin Wednes-
day and continue until August 1.
In the win over Bristol, Maria-
nelli led the offense with four hits,
and Belko smacked two monster
home runs.
Alsalahat doubled and tripled
for CP, and Cadwalder doubled
and singled as Armillay picked up
the win on the mound.
The winner of the Regional
tournament inMarylandadvances
to the Big League World Series in
Kalamazoo, MI in August.
Armillay will enter her second
year at Misericordia University
this fall, and Belko will enter her
second year at Bloomsburg Uni-
versity. Both played for their
schools softball teams as fresh-
men.
Marianelli will join her sister
Allyson on the Lycoming Univer-
sity softball team, and Alsalahat is
goingtowalk-onthe Universityof
Florida softball team.
Cadwalder, a junior, returns for
her thirdseasonbehindthedishfor
the Blue Devils, and Nemetz, a
sophomore, started every game in
right field for the District 2 Class
1Achampionships as a freshman.
Mucciolo just horsing around
He was a star on the 1992 Old
Forge High School PIAA State
Champion baseball team. He also
excelled on the hardwoods for the
Blue Devils that same season
when they captured a District 2
Class 1A Basketball title and ad-
vanced to the PIAA Eastern
Semis.
But almost 20 years later, Old
Forges John Mucciolo is heavily
involved in a much different kind
of sport horse racing.
Mucciolo works for Brisnet-
.com which is an internet site that
covers theSport of Kings. Thefor-
mer pitcher, shortstop and point
guard writes for the site, and re-
cently two of his articles were fea-
tured on NBCsports.com.
In May, Mucciolos article on
the Preakness Stakes and its infa-
mous, Woodstock-like, infield
party, was his first writingtomake
thenational site. Thenjust thispast
week, Mucciolo had his story on
the opening of the DelMar Race-
track season featured on the front
pageof theNBCSports.comhorse
racing section.
So if you need a winner at the
Downs, its best you track Johnny
down for a tip.
Crossbowis in the family
Three generations of crossbow
shooters proved their prowess at
the PSAA State Indoor Cham-
pionships in April when Terry
Butler, his daughter Ashley
Rampulla, and his grandson

77th annual affair between the
City and County.
Both coaches have agreed to go
away from the tradition 5-2 de-
fense to a more modern 4-3 front
to accommodate for pass-happy
offenses that have begun to make
there way into Northeastern Penn-
sylvania.
Blitzing and stunting are still
prohibited in the game, but most
veteran coaches especially the
legendary ones usually find
ways to get their linebackers to fill
the gaps quicker without calling
for a blitz.
Old Forge will have at least two
starters in the game.
Brandon Souryavong will
start at left tackleandMichael Ta-
gliaferri will start at outside line-
backer. Souryavongwill alsosee a
lot of time on defense at middle li-
nebacker.
Wide receiver Connor Fultz is
among three players sharing two
spots. Riversides Tommy Armil-
lay and Valley Views Joe Brown-
ing are the others. Fultz will also
rotate with Browning at free safe-
ty.
Mike Matisko will come off
the bench for the County as a de-
fensive lineman and also at tight
end.

How about this weather? The
dog, cat and mouse days of sum-
mer are definitely upon us.
Sometimes its easier todecide to
sit in front of the air conditioner
rather than get motivated to head
outside. The thought of loading
the car with fishing gear might
seemlike a lot of work compared
to sitting by a swimming pool or
in front of the television. I be-
lieve the key to summer fishing
trips is all in the timing. Day-
break on a lake or river at this
time of the year could be quite
refreshing, cooling and produc-
tive. The evenings would be my
second choice.
I recently spent a day on the
Susquehanna River with my
fishing buddy, Brian Holling-
shead. We hit the river just north
of Tunkhannock shortly after
day break and the temperature
was already in the seventies. It
got so warm that by eleven
oclock it was hard to sit in the14
foot aluminum boat. We were
trolling (slowly motoring while
dragging the lures behind the
boat) and catching fish but the
heat got to us and it was time to
cool off. You must know by now
that I am a diehard river fisher-
man with a passion for bait pick-
ing and smallmouth bass. But
first things first, it was time for a
swim.
We beached the boat on an is-
land in the middle of the river
and proceeded to park our butts
in the flowing rift. While the riv-
er water is warm now it is cooler
in the little rapids and quite en-
joyable as well. This always
takes me back to my childhood. I
spent countless days on the river
with my brother, Paul, and good
friend Charlie Prula. We would
fish in the morning, swim in the
afternoon and head home in time
to eat dinner before returning to
the river for an evening fishing
trip. This summer ritual was dis-
rupted at times by summer jobs
and family responsibilities but
every free moment was on the
river. On this particular day, I
daydreamed for a while as the
rushing Susquehanna River wa-
ter cooled down my body. It was
certainly worth getting out of
bed early for.
The river is at a perfect level
for sticking your hands under
rocks in search of creepy, slimy
or pinching critters. The primary
goal was to find clippers and cat-
ties, both of which by the way
make for excellent bass bait. We
didnt have to move at all from
our swimming spot because the
bait we were picking live under
the rocks in the rifts. Armed with
a bait can attached to our belt, it
was time to pick bait. It didnt
take long to put a half dozen clip-
pers in the bucket.
My fishing gear of choice is a
medium action spinning rod and
reel with 8 pound test line, a
swivel and a number four hook.
You may need to put on a little
split shot for weight if the current
is too strong. The clipper is
hooked through the collar be-
tween the head and the body. I
like fishing this bait by casting it
across the river and allowing it to
float down through the rocks.
The conditions were perfect. The
bass were right where we expect-
ed themto be and they were hun-
gry. Its all about the fight for us.
We dont usually keep the bass
unless someone asks us for some
fresh filets. It didnt take long to
empty the bait bucket which
meant another dip and more
picking. By stopping on the is-
land we extended out fishing trip
during the heat wave and we
didnt mind temperatures. So the
next time you are trying to beat
the heat without giving up on
summer fun. Ask someone to go
swimming, bait picking and
fishing. I know youll enjoy it.

On May 11 and 12, six stu-
dents from St. Marys Assump-
tion School traveled to Millers-
ville University, Millersville, PA
to represent their school at the
state level of the National Histo-
ry Day Competition. Each par-
ticipant at History Day is re-
quired to incorporate that years
theme, as chosen by national
coordinators, into his research
and topic of choice. Debate
and Diplomacy in History: Suc-
cesses, Failures, Consequences
was this years theme. Coached
by moderators Mrs. Bonnie
Blaskiewicz, Mrs. Doris Brady,
Miss Mary Kate Conlon, Mrs.,
Maureen Conlon, and Mrs.
Anne Powers, the students se-
lected the performance category
to present their historical re-
search.
The team of Thomas Lewis,
Laura Mariotti, Lauren Senese,
and Kaya Swanek presented a
group play entitled Debate and
Diplomacy: A Legal Success:
The Mine Strike of 1902 in
which their characters repre-
sented all the players in the de-
bate between management and
labor in the anthracite coal
fields concerning better work-
ing conditions, fair labor prac-
tices and pays, and the UMWA.
This was the first time in history
that the federal government had
intervened in a labor dispute.
Bria Moore enacted an indi-
vidual play titled Debating a
Womans Place in the World in
which she presented the histor-
ical debate as to whether a
woman, particularly a married
woman, should stay at home or
enter the workforce. Brias re-
search focused on the World
War II era, and was based on her
grandmothers personal experi-
ences at that time.
Michael Conlon delivered an
individual performance entitled
Diplomacy in the Trenches:
The Christmas Truce of 1914
in which he portrayed an aging
British soldier reminiscing
about the first Christmas Eve of
World War I when British and
German soldiers, diplomatical-
ly, declared an unofficial truce
and met in no mans land, the
area between the trenches, to
commemorate the holy holiday
of Christmas.
All the students performed
exceptionally well during the
first round of competition vying
for a chance to make run offs or
the tip six in the state. The top
six then have chance of placing
in the top two to move on to
Nationals at the University of
Maryland in June. Michael
Conlon made this final round of
competition, and he placed
fourth in the state in the Individ-
ual Performance Category.
Pictured left to right are Bria
Moore, Laura Mariotti, Tommy
Lewis, Michael Conlon, Kaya
Swanek and Lauren Senese.

spring semester research port-
folios to the public and campus
community in the lobby of the
