It was around this time in
2002, ten years ago, when my
wife called one day, said she
needed to go to Boston the next
month and asked if I wanted to
go with her.
Ill call you right back, I
said and turned to my comput-
er.
Mary Kay is an operating
room nurse. She needed to
attend a seminar on lasers or
something like that I wasnt
quite listening at either Beth
Israel or Brigham & Womens
hospital I really wasnt paying
attention.
Why Mary Kay needed to be
in Boston didnt matter. Well,
not to me. What mattered to
me, and what would determine
if I were going to tag along,
required a quick internet
search. I needed an answer
before I could give her one.
The answer turned out to be
yes all the way around.
The Red Sox were going to
be in town.
Now, I am not a Red Sox fan
nor, unlike Yankees fans, a Red
Sox hater. But I am a baseball
fan. And no baseball fan would
pass up an opportunity to see
Fenway Park, which noted its
100th anniversary Friday
(hence, this column), and its
famed Green Monster.
Whats the Green Monster?
If you dont know, I feel
sorry for you. The Green Mon-
ster is the nickname for the left
field wall at Fenway, where the
Red Sox play their home
games. It is probably the most
famous physical characteristic
of any stadium in any sport. Its
painted green, duh, and its
really high 37 feet, 2 inches,
any Red Sox fan will tell you
and thats where the monster
comes from.
If I were the type of person to
have one of those bucket lists
the things you must do before
you kick the bucket the Green
Monster surely would have
been on it.
I dont keep lists of stuff like
that, although, I was contem-
plating one day that I should
make a reverse bucket list.
That would be all the things I
hope I never do. I was riding on
an airplane at the time and
thinking I hope I never actual-
ly have to use my seat cushion
as a floatation device.
But back to The Monster.
The Red Sox were scheduled
to play the Seattle Mariners at
noon on Saturday, May 18, and
as we checked in at the hotel in
the village of Brookline, I had
two questions for the desk
clerk.
First, I asked him if there
were shuttles from the hotel to
the hospital. My wife has to be
there first thing in the morn-
ing, I said. He told us they
began running at 6 a.m.
Second, I told him I was
going to the Red Sox game
tomorrow and wanted to know
if I could walk there from the
hotel. Sure, he said, I could
probably do it in 20 minutes.
As we headed to the eleva-
tors, Mary Kay said, I hope
you realize you are that guys
hero.
Whaddya mean, I asked.
Well, she said. You didnt
tell him I was going to a semi-
nar. You just said I had to get to
the hospital. So, tomorrow hes
going to be telling all his bud-
dies: This guy checked in last
night and hes just going to
stick his wife on a shuttle to the
hospital while he goes to the
ball game.
Hero to him, maybe, but Im
guessing Mary Kay was think-
ing cad.
And if indeed a cad I was, the
next morning it seemed I was
being punished. We awoke to
pouring rain.
Mary Kay jumped on the
early shuttle and by mid-morn-
ing I decided that if I couldnt
see a game at Fenway, I at least
was going to see the stadium,
so I got an umbrella from the
concierge and set out on foot.
I walked all around the out-
side of the park, got a peak at
the Green Monster through a
chain-link fence, bought a cou-
ple of tee-shirts at a shop across
the street, and basically got
drenched.
A couple of hours later, with
my sneakers tumbling around in
a dryer and making one heck of
a racket in a laundromat back in
Brookline, a guy rushed in and
excitedly announced, The
game is back on. Theyre start-
ing at 2.
So back I went to Fenway,
damp sneakers and all. I bought
a ticket outside the main gate
from a proud Red Sox season
ticket holder who told me it
was my lucky day because his
daughter couldnt make it so he
was selling his second seat. He
wasnt kidding. I watched the
game from the front row along
the railing on the left field line,
practically in the shadow of
The Monster.
Back at the hotel the kid at
the desk from the night before
recognized me immediately.
Howd your wife make out?
he asked cordially.
I have no idea, I responded.
But the Sox won.
He gave me a thumbs up and
I knew Mary Kay was right. I
was his hero.

Rev. Hugh McGroarty was
easytofindat the PittstonDiner
after the 8 a.m. Mass.
St. John the
Evangelist Par-
ish Community
lost a beloved
soul in the pass-
ing of
McGroarty,
fondly known
as Father Hugh.
McGroarty, 92, died Monday
from complications of cancer at
the Little Flower Manor in
Wilkes-Barre. He was the oldest
assigned priest in the Diocese of
Scranton, having served for 66
years.
Words of praise poured from
parishioners and fellow clergy.
Dr. John Callahan of Dallas
knewMcGroartyfor 25years and
was part of a daily breakfast crew
called the Romeos (Retired Old
Men Eating Out).
Rice Krispies with huckleber-
ries, Callahan said.
That was Father
Hughs favorite
breakfast.
Callahan spoke of
McGroartys passion
for his religious call-
ing.
He said a won-
derful Mass. He was
a great homilist, he
said. He loved the
poor. Hed do anything to help
where he could. He was never too
busy to spend time with the
needy.
Monsignor John Bendik, pas-
tor of St. John the Evangelist,
knew McGroarty for 45 years.
Bendiks earliest recollection
of Father Hugh was when, in
1970, Bendik was director of the
Campus Ministry at East
Stroudsburg University and
McGroarty was stationed at a
church in Broadheadsville.
McGroarty donated his old panel
station wagon to the ministry so
students could travel to confer-
ences and outreach ministries.
I met him at his mothers
house topickupthe title, Bendik
said. He was very supportive of
our ministry. The students took it
to conferences.
To nursing
homes. To or-
phanages.
Theyd load up
the station
wagon and off
theyd go. Of
course, theyre
all in their 60s
now.
Bendik and
McGroarty attended the inaugu-
ral race at Pocono Speedway to-
gether.
It was an adventure, Bendik
said. We were there in case any-
one was injured, but boy, did we
have a goodtime. We hadfree run
of the place.
WhenBendikwas appointedto
St. Johns, the bishop gave him
names of several priests with

When Jeff McCabe went to
California to run in the Hon-
da LA Marathon on April 1,
he was given a mission to
complete by his friend and
would-be traveling compan-
ion Father
Hugh
McGroarty.
The Ca-
tholic priest,
who died
Monday at
92, was
planning to
go to LA with McCabe.
McGroarty wanted to visit
the home of his great-uncle
John Steven McGroarty, now
a California Historic-Cultural
Monument and Arts Center
in the Verdugo Hills of the
Tujunga section of Los An-
geles.
But Father McGroarty
injured his hip and couldnt
travel. So it fell to McCabe to
visit the historic home in his
stead and take a photograph.
John Steven McGroarty,
who died in 1944, is a legend-
ary figure in the history of
California where he was a
United States Congressman,
State Poet Laureate, play-
wright, author, historian, LA
Times columnist and West
Coast Magazine editor. His
1912 Mission Play about
the origins of Christianity in
California was staged 3,000
times over a 20-year run,
bringing in 2 million paid
admissions. One of his books
California, Its History and
Romance about the discov-
ery, colonization and early
development of California
went through 10 editions in
13 years.

She was running down Main
Street, chasing the UPS deliver-
yman.
A box of kielbasi packed in
ice needed to be shipped. Fast.
Brenda Sepelyak, co-owner
of Komenskys Market, was try-
ing to get several rings of her
stores award-winning smoked
and fresh rings to New York
City by 10 a.m.
Destination: The Martha
Stewart Show.
It started with a call from the
shows producers, Sepelyak
said, the day before the show
was taped.
The place where Martha
normally got her kielbasa in
New York City closed and she
asked her audience if they knew
of any good places, Sepelyak
said. Somebody mentioned
us.
The shows producers asked if
Sepelyak could get them several
rings for the next mornings
show.
Thats when Sepelyak started
to sweat. The UPS driver had
already come and gone.
I ran down the street trying
to catch him, she said. Thank
God I found him and we ar-
ranged to make the delivery by
8 a.m. the next morning.
Komenskys was featured in
the first segment of Stewarts
show, but because Easter is one
of the busiest times at the mar-
ket, those working at the store
couldnt even watch the show.
We were so busy, we had to
TiVo the show, Sepelyak said,
noting she and her husband,
Robert Sepelyak, have very lit-
tle time to watch TV during
Easter week. She gave us a
nice plug, she said of Stewart.
Sepelyak said the meat was
prepared and served to Stewarts
staff as part of an Easter ban-
quet.
Komenskys Market is at 412
Main St. in Duryea. The busi-
ness ships its product locally
and around the world.
Its such an honor, Sepelyak
said. We love Martha. We think
we found a new customer.

Since 1993, Tim Holden has been my representative
in Washington. I have always found him to be honest
and trustworthy and someone who never lost sight of
his coal cracker roots.
He will be a great person to represent Northeastern
Pennsylvania and I urge everyone to vote on April 24
to Keep Holden In Congress.

whom he could work.
I sawFather Hughs nameonthelist and
I immediatelypickedhim, Bendiksaid. I
jumped at the chance to work with him.
Janet Delaney, a Pittston resident and
lifelong parishioner of St. Johns, said
McGroarty was the best friend of the15-
20 faithful who attend the daily 8 a.m.
Mass.
He knew everyones name, Delaney
said. If he didnt know your name, that
was his thing, hed say, Whats your
name?
Delaney spoke of McGroartys great hu-
mor.
He told jokes. He told stories. He sang
songs. He read poetry. He did magic, she
said. He was a well-rounded priest. He
was the epitome of priesthood.
Its a tremendous loss to the church,
she said. But we were very lucky to have
had him that long.
McGroartywas borninPlains Township
on Dec. 30, 1919. He was educated in
Plains schools, The University of Scranton
and at Mount Saint Marys College and
Seminary in Emmitsburg, Md. He was or-
dained to the priesthood on December 22,
1945, in St. Peters Cathedral, Scranton, by
theRev. WilliamJ. Hafey, D.D., lateBishop
of Scranton. He served in various capaci-
ties in numerous churches throughout the
diocese.
Area attorney Joe Terrana of Yatesville,
a close friend, saidMcGroartyoftenuseda
saying from a Robert Browning poem -
God is in his heaven. Alls right with the
world.
He said it in good times and in bad,
Terrana said. It means everything is the
way God wants it to be. When times are
good, you have to appreciate it. When
times are bad, you have to knowGod has a
reason for whats going on
That summed himup perfectly, Terra-
na added.
McGroartys faith remained strong as he
moved into hospice care, preparing for the
end of his life, Terrana said.
In the gentlest, calmest voice, he said,
Ive never felt the presence of the Lord
stronger, Terrana said. He was at peace
with what was going on. He took the cross
that he bore in so much stride.
The Most ReverendJosephC. Bambera,
D.D., J.C.L., Bishopof Scranton, whopres-
ided over McGroartys funeral Mass on
Friday morning, mourned the loss of a re-
markable priest.
Ivehadtheprivilegeof knowingFather
McGroartyfor almost 30years. Whether it
was serving as a priest in my home parish
years ago or, more recently, in his position
as Senior Priest in St. John the Evangelist
Parish, his wit, his energy and especially
his faithandlove for the priesthoodandthe
Church were palpable, Bambera said.
Countless numbers of lives are richer to-
day for having been touched by the priestly
ministry of this remarkable man who
served the Lord for so many years.
Wemiss himterribly,Bendiksaid. Its
such a loss.
McGroartys obituary appears on Page

Continued fromPage 3
John Steven McGroarty was
born in1862 in Foster Township,
near Wilkes-Barre. His father,
Hugh McGroarty, the late
priests namesake, was a grand-
nephew of Richard Montgom-
ery, one of George Washingtons
generals.
John Steven graduated from
the Harry Hillman Academy in
Wilkes-Barre. In the 1890s, be-
fore he moved to California, he
was Managing Editor of the
Wilkes-Barre Evening Leader in
his early 20s and Luzerne Coun-
ty Treasurer at the age of 27.
But it was in California that
John Steven left his mark. When
he died, he was eulogized on the
floor of the United States House
of Representatives by Congress-
manJerryVoorhis whosaid, No
man has caught the spirit of Cali-
fornia from the beginning of the
Spanish padres down to the pre-
sent time andgatheredit together
into one continuous thread such
as this great man has done.
Suchwas JohnStevens stature
that he was mentioned in Presi-
dent John F. Kennedys 1956 Pu-
litzer Prize-winning book, Pro-
files in Courage.
All of us, Kennedy wrote,
occasionally have the urge to
followthe example of Congress-
man McGroarty of California,
who wrote a constituent in 1934:
One of the countless draw-
backs of being in Congress is
that I am compelled to receive
impertinent letters from a jack-
ass like you in which you say I
promised to have the Sierra
Madre Mountains reforested and
I have been in Congress two
months and havent done it. Will
you please take two running
jumps and go to hell?
John Stevens historic Califor-
nia house was the last of four he
and his wife Ida Caroline Lu-
brecht, his Pennsylvania child-
hoodsweetheart, built inthe Ver-
dugo Hills. It was there that he
wrote many of his 40 years
worth of daily LA Times co-
lumns called From the Green
Verdugo Hills.
And it was there that Jeff
McCabe found himself last
month on the mission for Father
McGroarty. McCabe came back
not only with a photograph of the
home, but also one of John Ste-
vens books, given to him by the
staff at the historic home.
It was almost his complete
works, McCabe said of the
book. I left it with him (Father
McGroarty) at the nursinghome.
He was very proud of his uncle.
McCabe got to know Father
McGroarty as a lay helper at St.
Johns. Two years ago, McCabe,
though neither old nor retired,
became a member Father
McGroartys Pittston Diner Ro-
meos club (Retired Old Men
Eating Out).
I remember his exact words
to me, McCabe said. Are you
too proud to join the men for
breakfast? We got together and
talked about life. I became his
friend. We had a very deep rela-
tionship.
The night before he died, John
Steven McGroarty answered a
query about his health with his
last poem, one which now befits
his late grand-nephew Father
Hugh McGroarty:
When I have had my little day,
My chance at toil, my fling at
play,
And in the starry silence fall
With broken staff against the
wall,
May someone pass, God
grant, that way,
And, as he bends above me,
say:
Goodnight, dear comrade,
sleep you well,
Deep are the daisies where
you fell,
I fold your empty hands that
shared
Their little all with them that
fared
Beside you in the rain and
sun
Goodnight, your little day is
done.
Uncle

H
owdid an art major from
California wind up
opening an art gallery in
an old hardware store on the
Avenue in Wyoming?
Three reasons: The space is
ideal for what he wants to do, he
has historical family ties to the
store and he didnt win the lot-
tery.
Winning the lottery, Jamie
Smith said, is what would have
had to happen for himto afford a
gallery in New York City where
he andhis wife Jenni, alsoa Cali-
fornia native, have lived for the
last five years.
Instead, they came here and
bought the building at 312
Wyoming Ave. in Wyoming
where Jamies great-grandfather
T.W. Shoemaker operated a
plumbingandhardware business
from the early 1900s until his
death in the 1940s.
As a homage to his great-
grandfather, he and Jenni call the
business the T.W. Shoemaker
Art Gallery.
The gallery is opening Satur-
day, April 28, with a photogra-
phy exhibit of 35 images by sev-
en international photographers,
dubbed A Meeting of the Art
Waters.
The exhibitionis free andopen
to the public. Areception from4
to 8 p.m. on Saturday will kick
things off andthe exhibit will run
through June 30.
The exhibit will benefit the
North Branch Land Trust and
Blue ChipFarms Animal Refuge
with five percent of the proceeds
from print sales going to each
charity.
As Smith explained it in an
email: The artists broadly inter-
preted each category based on
their own point of view and life
experience. The exhibition is
therefore comprised of horizon-
tal and vertical formats, close up
and expansive perspectives, and
color and black and white imag-
es from around the world.
After living in California and
New York, Smith said his nine-
month old daughter Eva was one
impetus for moving here.
We started a family and the
Valley offers a little more open
space and is a little more low-
key.

the city. The main drag looks ter-
rific.
He needed a new office be-
cause of the growth of his busi-
ness. Im not just the guy with
the ladder and a truck anymore. I
was always a carpenter, but now
Im expanding to general and
electric contracting. Were in-
corporated. Were getting bigger
and its working out well. Were
supporting 11 families with
jobs.
Fleming is hosting an open
house, ribbon cutting and lun-
cheon from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Luddy Flemings new suite in
the old Dime Bank Building is,
well, sweet.
Fleming said moving the of-
fice of his contracting business
fromhis home tothe iconic Main
Street Building owned by Reilly
and Associates befits the new-
look downtown and the restora-
tion of the Dime Bank.
I was born and raised here,
he said. I feel pretty good about
opening in downtown Pittston
now with the improvements in
on Friday, April 27.
He expects Mayor Klush and
city council, former Mayor Mike
Lombardo and the Joyces to at-
tend.
His suite, no. 100, is the first
office on the first floor of the
building, which was built in the
1920s.
It was bought and restored by
Reilly and Associates, an engi-
neering firm, five years ago.
Much of the original architec-
tural integrity was kept intact, in-
cluding the panoramic windows.

FACTS OF
LAW
Brought to you as a paid public service by
the Law Ofces of Dominick P. Pannunzio,
294 Main Street, Dupont, 655-5541
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
The N.C. Court of Appeals has held that the frst
marriage of a woman was legal, even though it was
performed by a minister who was neither an imam
nor a licensed minister. More specifcally the court held
that while the frst marriage was voidable under North
Carolina law no legal steps had ever been taken to do
so and thus the original Islamic ceremony was upheld
as a legal marriage. So because the wife was already
married at the time she married the plaintiff, the court
said their marriage of 12 years and three children was
null and void, on the grounds of bigamy.

A unanimous decision by the Georgia Supreme that
struck down a law banning people from publicly
advertising to help with assisted suicide, puts the
elderly and people with disabilities in grave danger
said a national pro-life leader. The 1994 state law
did not prohibit assisted suicides, but made it a felony
for those who promote that they could assist with a
suicide. In its decision, the court said the law violated
free speech rights.
***
A new law in NewYork authorizes establishment
of beneft corporations with a dual focus on social
responsibility and profts. While offcers and directors
of existing companies are required to pursue profts on
behalf of shareholders, the newmodel envisions other
fduciary responsibilities meant to have a positive
impact on society and the environment.

Representatives of the Luzerne/
Wyoming Counties Area Agency on Ag-
ing were in Pittston this week. The agen-
cy director presented a plaque to the li-
brary in recognition of its participation in
the Mature Worker Program.
The library was a training center for
the program and after the training hired
two of the trainees.
The Pittston YMCA was also a train-
ing center and also hired workers.
Wyoming Borough was also a training
center.
In a day where so many workers are re-
tiring at relatively young ages, it is grat-
ifying to see that older workers who want
and need to work beyond normal retire-
ment ages are being helped by the Area
Agency on Aging and local organiza-
tions.

OUROPINION
Tuesday is Election Day.
Both Mike Carroll in the118th District
and Phyllis Mundy in the 120th District
of the General Assembly are unopposed
on the Democratic side. Mundy will have
opposition in November. Aaron D. Kauf-
er of Kingston is unopposed for the Re-
publican 120th nomination.
Amonth ago it was looking like Penn-
sylvania might have a say in the Repub-
lican presidential nomination race, but
now thats not the case.
There are long lists of convention dele-
gates on both ballots, but those positions
dont have any local impact.
So theres not much drama associated
with Tuesdays outcomes, with one nota-
ble exception the Tim Holden versus
Matt Cartwright race for the Democratic
nomination in the redrawn 17th District
in the US House of Representatives.
This is new territory for Pittston as for
over 20 years the city was in the11th Dis-
trict and represented by Paul Kanjorski
and then Lou Barletta.
Oddly, Holden is in the position of run-
ning as an incumbent here among voters
who didnt elect him two years ago.
As the only contested race of local im-
pact the Holden-Cartwright race has got-
ten as lot of attention. And we hope the
race will drive turnout.
It will be interesting to learn how Pitt-
ston and Scranton will go.
So, Democrats, make it interesting by
getting out Tuesday and voting for one of
these men.
Holden - Cartwright
race provides drama
In my culture, which is Czechoslovakian, the most popular
spices and herbs to cook with were pepper, chives, and dill. Not
sure why, but they seemed to be a staple in my mothers kitchen
cabinet.
Today we look at spices more than a flavoring and a way to
reduce sodiumin our diet. Spices have been touted to reduce the
risk of some cancers and nowreduce inflammation in our joints.
Some spices are good sources of antioxidants. Although re-
search has been somewhat limited, learning about new spices
and howto use themcan add interest to cooking at home and be a
healthy thing to do.
Over the next few weeks I will be discussing different spices
and howto use them. The first two which are popular are ginger
and turmeric.
Ginger, native to Southeast Asia, and also comes from Jamai-
ca, it is one of the first Oriental spices know in Europe. Marco
Polo wrote about finding ginger in China. It is the dried and
peeled rhizomes (roots) of the ginger plant. Ginger is available
whole and ground and is light buff in color. The crystallized gin-
ger is fresh root cooked in syrup and is used as a confection, not a
spice.
How do you use ginger? Just add to pork, sliced cooked car-
rots, sweet potatoes, in cookies and over green beans.
Turmeric, native to china it is nowimported fromIndia, Haiti,
Jamaica andor Peru. Interestingtonote, turmeric is mentionedin
the writing of Greek physician Dioscorides fromthe year 40 90
AD.
In the past it was used as a dye. Today we see it to color butter,
cheese and pickles.
The spice comes fromthe root of the plant which is part of the
ginger family. Turmeric is a major ingredient in curry powder
and prepared mustard. Its easy to use. Just add to egg and rice
dishes, saladdressing, soups, noodles andwhenpreparingchick-
en and fish.
Try these easy to make recipes. Add either or both ginger and
turmeric to boost your days worth of nutrients.
Marys green beans
1 tbsp ginger
1 tsp turmeric
2 cloves chopped garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
11/2 pounds of green beans
Saut garlic in olive oil in large skillet with cover.
Add green beans. Cover.
Sprinkle with spices.
Simmer turning green beans.
Cook 15 minutes or until tender.
You may sprinkle with 1 tsp. of low sodium bullion if desired.

Question
In 1952, a large
project of national
importance was ru-
mored to be slated
for the Greater Pitt-
ston Area.
What was it?
1952 60 Years Ago
A light voter turnout for the 1952
primary election was expected in
Greater Pittston.
With over 27,000 registered voters
but few major battles, local political
leaders felt only 40% of those regis-
tered would vote.
Races between Tony Dougherty
and Congressman Dan Flood for the
Democratic nomination for Congress;
Thomas Meade and Jack Gaughan
opposing Bill Dombroski for the
GOP representative nomination; James
Pattersons fight for a delegate post
to the National Democratic Conven-
tion and Edward Josephs opposing
Genevieve Blatt for the Democratic
nomination of State Auditor would
bring most voters to the poles.
The 1952 presidential primary pitted
war hero, Republican Dwight D Ei-
senhower against Democrat Adlai Ste-
venson.
In The Sunday Dispatch Letters to
the Editor section, one local resident
complained about the decision to
change the Miss Greater Pittston
beauty pageant title to Miss Anthra-
cite.
The writer opined that since the
people of Pittston did most of the
work regarding the sponsorship and
arrangements, the city should benefit
from the publicity surrounding the
event.
In another letter, Billy Coles of
Avoca, serving with the U.S. Army in
Germany wrote:
I would like to thank all of the
people in Avoca for sending me such
nice Easter cards. I am in Germany
with the 43rd Division and glad peo-
ple back home are thinking of us
overseas.
In May 1952, the East German gov-
ernment closed the border between
East and West Germany, leading to
the construction of the Berlin Wall in
1961.
1962 50 Years Ago
West Pittston native Lt. Commander
Helen M. Rhoades retired after 22
years of service in the U.S. Navy
Nursing Corps. After graduating from
West Pittston High School and the
Pittston Hospital School of Nursing,
Commander Rhoades was assigned to
Pearl Harbor Naval Hospital four
months after Japan attacked the Naval
Base.
Her assignments with the nurse
corps had taken her to China, Japan,
the Panama Canal and Hawaii.
Navy hospital corpsman Thomas G.
Williams, of Avoca, received a com-
mendation from his commanding offi-
cer aboard the American Geographical
Survey Ship USS Maury. During an
assignment, another member of the
crew, after a 25-foot fall, suffered a
compound fracture.
Corpsman Williams administered
life-saving first aid over many hours
until his injured shipmate could be
transported to a fully-equipped facility.
Williams previously had served aboard
the minesweeper USS Dash. The
United States Navy created and built
surveying ships to carry on the work
of Matthew Fontaine Maury nick-
named Scientist of the Seas.
Eleven ships charted wind currents,
water temperatures and underwater
obstacles producing maps and charts
used today by the Navy and Merchant
Marine.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, Will Daylight Saving
Time represent any inconvenience to
you?
Jan Kolmansberger, Pittston, an-
swered, Its more a convenience, with
more hours you can get some fresh
air or go to the lake.
Peggy Connors, Pittston, added,
The extra hour comes at a time
when you can enjoy it.
Barbara Chickeletti, Duryea, stated,
I like to go out on the porch and
read a book and get some fresh air.
1972 40 Years Ago
Pittston Hospital held a volunteer
day to honor more than 50 women
who gave their time and talents to
serve the hospital and its patients.
Mrs. Edward Dommermuth, presi-
dent of the hospital auxiliary, thanked
volunteers, event chair, co-chair-
persons Mrs. George Nagy and Mrs.
Joseph Walsh.
Esther Tinsley, hospital adminis-
trator, expressed gratitude to the wom-
en for their work in the hospitality
shop and assisting the medical staff.
Mrs. Louis Zurla, directress of nurs-
es, introduced freshmen students Ma-
ry Francis Stuccio and Susan To-
mashunas, who entertained with gui-
tar and vocal selections.
Some of those honored at the event
were Loretta Morrow, Mrs. Sidney
Friedman, Mrs. Carlton Stauffer,
Mrs. Bert Ardoline, Mrs. C.F. Fish-
er, Mrs. Jack Burns and Mrs. Santo
Tabone. According to the 2005 Bu-
reau of Labor and Statistics Survey of
main organizations for which volun-
teer activities were performed, hospital
or health organizations accounted for
7.7 % of the total unpaid labor force.
A photo from the past appeared in
the April 23 issue of the Sunday Dis-
patch. Bebe Shopp, Miss America of
1948, toured the No. 6 mines as a
guest of the local Jaycees in Septem-
ber 1952.
Standing alongside the beauty queen
in the photo are Stanley Morosky,
Tony Costa, Danny Raymond, Sam
Cometa, Charles Volpe, Sam Van
Luvender and William Sheleski.
The newly-formed Greater Pittston
Junior Football League installed offi-
cers and named coaches for the start-
ing season. Heading the leagues ini-
tial season were Larry Bufalino,
president; Phil Gristina, vice presi-
dent Bill Ames, secretary; and Nor-
man Gayz, treasurer. Coaches in-
cluded George Alaimo, Tony Da-
lessandro, William Litz and Sam
Gubitose.
The Duryea Sacred Heart Teeners
baseball team opened its season. Jer-
ry Zielinski, B. Nitkowski and Dave
Bachkosky, along with catcher Dave
Breymeier and outfielder Eddie
Chico Chicoski, were starters re-
turning from the previous year.
The teeners captured the play-offs in
1965 and 1966 and in 1969 the
straight season championship. Gene
Maciun, owner of Maciuns Mobil
Service Station, donated 20 new uni-
forms to the team.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, What is the best
news you could possibly hear?

ed, That somebody had 20 brand

1992 20 Years Ago
News that the Pittston Area School
District would receive about $300,000
less in state funding led the district to
seek approval from the Pennsylvania
Department of Education to reduce its
professional staff and programs.
School officials admitted legal prob-
lems would most certainly result from
teacher layoffs.
School district basic education sub-
sidies in fiscal year 1992-93 were
frozen at 1991-92 levels under legisla-
tion SB6 signed into law as Act 85
on July 9, 1992 according to
www.pasenate.com.
Lem Phillips, of West Pittston,
along with several other local men,
celebrated the 59th anniversary of the
Civilian Conservation Corp.
The Corps, established in 1933, was
a public work relief program that
operated in the United States for un-
employed, unmarried men aged 17-23
from relief families.
A part of President Franklin D.
Roosevelts New Deal, it provided
unskilled manual labor jobs related to
the conservation and development of
natural resources in rural lands owned
by federal, state and local govern-
ments. Phillips was paid $30 a month,
$25 of which went to his parents to
help put food on the table.
He traveled across the country
sleeping in tents and working on gov-
ernment projects.
With the increasing threat of war,
the CCC proved a successful program
as it provided nearly three million
disciplined men for the service.
Answer
It was rumored the Avoca Airport
was one of three sites being consid-
ered by the Air Force to build a sub-
stantial maintenance depot employing
5,000 to 11,000 people.
With the Korean Conflict and ad-
vent of the Cold War, it was believed
by military strategists that Russia
could, at some point, be militarily
stronger than the United States.
The Air Force eventually settled on
McGuire Air Force Base in New Jer-
sey and Dover Air Force Base in De-
laware to establish their new facilities.
God grant me the serenity to accept
the people I cannot change, the cour-
age to change the one I can, and the
wisdom to know its me.

Smith lived here briefly in the
late 1990s working as a stringer
photographer for The Sunday
Dispatch and The Times Leader,
a time he remembered fondly.
NEPA, as many locals call it,
was a vastly different atmo-
sphere than that of the dot com
boom taking place in my home
town of Palo Alto, California,
he said. Photojournalism be-
came a great way for me to ex-
plore this newworld its diverse
mix of religious festivals, busi-
nesses, sports, neighborhoods,
local customs, nationalities, cui-
sines as well as its unique mix
of industrial and rural environ-
ments. There is something to be
said for slowing down, exiting
the information super highway
and meandering a winding coun-
try road with the top down in a
borrowed 1981 MG.
Smith said people who hear
his story mistakenly think he is
related to the Snyders and inher-
ited the building.
In fact, my great grandfather
rented the space; he never even
owned it.
Smiths great-grandfathers
son, John Shoemaker, Smiths
great-uncle, bought the building
in the 1940s and offered a cards
and gift section inside the hard-
ware store.
Shoemaker sold the building
to the Snyder family in the1970s
and opened a Hallmark store in
the Midway Shopping Center.
It is believed the building on
the Avenue was built bythe Petti-
bone family in the 1880s as a
feed store.
We looked at a few places
along the Ave, Smith said, but,
really, the hardware store was the
best fit, not just for the family
history and nostalgia, but also
for the layout. The open layout of
the space will work well for fu-
ture exhibits, photo shoots, lec-
tures, workshops, art classes,
events anything really.
Smith was advised against
buying the building, but believes
its worth the risk.
Many people much smarter
than I, who I trust dearly, said I
was crazy to buy the building
and try to start this business.
Thats when I knew I was on the
right track, he said. Im really

Coal mining info sought
Carl Orechovsky, research ed-
itor of Anthracite Archives, Old
Forge, is seeking information
about the coal mining industry
during the 1950s and 60s in Old
Forge.
If you have any information or
photos of mine openings, build-
ings, miners, breakers or stories
of life and workings in the mines
contact Orechovsky evenings at
702-4217 or info@oldforgecoal-
mine.com.
This will be the last major
push to record the missing histo-
ry of mining in Old Forge during
its final days. The Pennsylvania
State Archives and Pennsylvania
Mine Inspectors Reports do not
include this history. Their re-
ports after 1940 only include
coal production and man hour
statistics at the mines.
If enough information is col-
lected, there will be a public fo-
rum in May on The Last Days
of Coal Mining in Old Forge.

by award and he couldnt be hap-
pier about it.
It is an amazing feeling [to
win the award], said Maloney.
To win anything like that is
great.
Pittston Area jumped out on
front early in the first inning as
Jordan Houseman led off the
game with a single. Housemans
base hit was followed by a bunt
and a ground out which ad-
vanced him to third. Anthony
Schwab then singled him in for
the first run in the game. PA
would go on to score two more in
the first inning giving them an
early 3-0 lead.
The second inning turned out
tobe a nightmare for the Patriots.
The Warriors led off the inning
with back-to-back ground rule
doubles by first baseman Bart
Chupka, one of three hits on the
day for Chupka, and shortstop
Jake Granteed giving WA their
first run on the day.
Pittston Area had a tough half
inninginthe fieldinthe Warriors
second. A pop fly that appeared
to be foul got blown back into
play by the wind plus some mis-
handled bunts by PAallowed the
Warriors to tie the game at three.
We were out played on every
level. They executed our own
game against us, said PA Head
Coach Paul Zaffuto.
The Warriors never looked
back from there. Another inning
of mistakes and misfortunes
from PA in the 4th inning al-
lowed the Warriors to climb
ahead to 7-3.
The sixth inning was where
Wyoming Area took care of
business, though. They scored
six runs to put away the Patriots
and take home the Ashby game
title.
I amvery proud of my team,
said WA head coach Chick An-
drewscavage. Good things will
happen if we play our game.
Andy Ashby the former MLB
pitcher who sponsors the award
said, The main thing is for the
teams to win the game, We
lookfor someone whogoes there
and performs [to present the tro-
phy to]. You wish you can give it
to everyone but you can only
give it to one.

BOWL I NG
Every school seems to have
their diamond in the rough when
it comes to sports but it seems
that the Wyoming Area wres-
tling team already has a gem on
his way.
Michael Orleski, 9, is a 5-time
Penn League champion, he has
25 awards (14 are for first place),
and he owns a 14-2 record with a
career high nine pins in the 2011-
2012 season. With all that under
his belt, though, Orleski still isnt
done.
Orleski just became the 2012
Regional Champion and he will
be traveling to Salisbury, Mary-
land to compete for Nationals on
May 4, 5, and 6.
[Michaels] most recent med-
al was the Regional one to go to
nationals, said Melanie Orleski,
Michaels mother. He wrestled
in Shamokin Eastern Regionals.
There was a bracket of 10. [Mi-
chael] wrestled four [kids] and
pinned three.
Going to Nationals for any
sport is a big deal for anyone, let
alone a 9 year old kid, but for Mi-
chael his Regional final match
had an interesting twist to it. It
was against his friend, Cade
Kroptavich.
Michael ended up pinning
Cade and winning the tourna-
ment but there were no hard feel-
ings after the match. After it was
over both kids hugged each oth-
er and Michael gave his friend a
pat on the back.
Michael started wrestling in
2007 when he was 5 years old.
His father, Michael Orleski, and
brother Mitchell Higgley, helped
get Michael interested in it be-
cause they were big into wres-
tling.
My dad always gets the coach
for me if I have a problemand he
also helps me with my moves,
said Michael.
Two other people that have so
far hadaninfluence onMichaels
wrestling are his elementary
school coach Brian Meehan and
UFC fighter Steve Mytch. Mi-
chael has joined a team called
Swagger where he trains with
Mytch to improve and keep his
skills sharp.
[Mytch and Meehan] have
showed me moves and to stop
certain things. They have built
up my confidence and made me
stronger, said Michael.
Michael goes to the Swag-
ger team every Monday where
he practices Free Style and Folk
Style wrestling. He learns howto
do different moves and how to
get out of certain moves while he
is there. Michaels parents also
record every match on video and
he sometimes goes back to them
to see where he went wrong and
so he can improve on that.
Michael has progressed a lot
through the years, said Melanie
Orleski. He has learned a lot
more moves and as he matures
he learns a lot more. His brother
also helps him with that.
Anything can happen while
Michael is competing for Na-
tionals in two weeks but the one
thing that can always be guaran-
teed when it comes to Michael
Orleski, he will always be giving
his best effort on the mat.

frustrating loss to Mid Valley on

ing 7-6 victory over

notti Park to forced a three-way

more atop the LL Division II
standings.
The Blue Devils took a 5-2
lead after four innings on two-

run in the sixth as Mascaro drove
in Ian Nemetz with a single, be-
fore winning it in the seventh.
Derek Drasba led off the bot-
tom of the seventh by reaching
on an error. Mike Vieira then
walked and when Trotta dropped
down a sacrifice bunt, Valley
View threw the ball away trying
to get Drasba at third, allowing
the junior right fielder to score
the winning run.
Dave Argust added a single
and an RBI for the Blue Devils.
Chromey scattered eight hits
and seven walks while striking
out six in seven innings.

Mid Valley as Spartans
pitcher Nick Demian
struck out 13 Blue Dev-
ils at Spartan Stadium.
The loss knocked Old
Forge out of a first-
place tie in the LL Di-
vision II race.
Dave Argust scored
the only Old Forge run
after drawing a sixth-inning
walk. He then moved to third on
an error and scored on a wild
pitch.
Derek Drasba pitched a solid
four and two-third innings for
the Blue Devils before Mid Val-
ley used two seeing-eye singles
and two Old Forge errors to put
six runs on the board in the bot-
tomof the fifth to take a 9-0 lead.
Anthony Trotta doubled, and
Dave Chromey added a single

This is my favorite time of
year. Everything is blossoming,
animals are looking for mates
and the smell of spring is every-
where. I spend a lot of mornings
in the woods during the months
of April and May and Im usu-
ally up before the alarm clock
rings. I thank God for allowing
me to witness the sunrise and the
rebirth of earth. If you havent
experienced it for yourself, then
you dont knowwhat youre mis-
sing.
Earlier this week, I once again
witnessed a great example of
lifes simple treasures in person.
I watched as the sun rose over the
mountain and the birds began to
sing. The first bird was a barred
owl, then a woodpecker and
them a crow. Shortly after this
avian chorus, a male turkey gob-
bled and all was right with the
world. My spring turkey scout-
ing mission was a success. I
found a turkey to hunt at this lo-
cation and it was on to another.
The idea behind scouting is to
hear as many turkeys as you can
from as many different locations
as possible. This will build your
confidence level a bit while
hunting those properties during
the season.
I can officially say that Im
ready to hunt. My shotgun is pat-
terned with a new red dot scope.
What I just said - in English - is
that I have put a scope on my gun
that has shows a red dot inside to
indicate I ampointinginthe right
direction. By patterning, I mean
I have shot the gun at a paper tar-
get and I know that shotgun pel-
lets are hitting the mark. There is
still time to pattern your shotgun
before next Saturdays opening
of the spring gobbler season.
My mental checklist is almost
complete. I knowwhere there are
turkeys and my gun is ready to
fire safely at a bird. I have been
practicing my turkey calls and
my camo clothing is all lined up
for the month. I will start out
with dark fall-like colors and
move into my greener spring-
time look as plants begin to blos-
som. I am often asked about the
need for camo and the right pat-
terns to wear. I move into the dif-
ferent colors because I amfortu-
nate enough to own them. Cam-
ouflage is designed to break up
your outline against the wooded
background. The color of the
camouflage isnt as important as
sitting still when a turkey ap-
proaches. Anexperiencedturkey
guide once told me that the three
most important steps to success-
fully hunting turkeys are: 1.
Dont move 2. Dont move 3.
And whatever you do, dont
move. Turkeys have incredible
eyesight and can pick up move-
ment very easily.
The most important thing to
remember about turkey hunting
is to hunt safely and use common
sense. There are several things
you can do to make it an enjoya-
ble and safe adventure. Never
stalk a turkey. The chances of
getting close enough for a shot
are slim, but the chances of be-
coming involved in an accident
are increased. Eliminate the col-
ors red, white and blue fromyour
turkey hunting outfit. Red is the
color most hunters count on to
differentiate a gobblers head
from the hens blue-colored
head. Never move, wave or make
turkey sounds to alert another
hunter of your position. A quick
movement may drawfire. Yell in
a loud voice and remain hidden.
Select a calling position that pro-
vides a background as wide as
your shoulders and one that will
completely protect you. Always
keep your gun pointed in a safe
direction and be sure to positive-
ly identify your target. Remem-
ber, a legal spring gobbler must
have a beard.
The key to bringing home a
spring turkey is trial and error.
Dont give up. The more time
you spend in the woods, the bet-
ter chance you have of supplying
a gobbler for the dinner table.
Good luck if youre heading out
and be safe. Remember, its time
to talk turkey!
Trout fishing
The 2012 trout season is one
week old and the reviews so far
are mixed. Most anglers found
lower than normal water levels in
the streams. The trout were there
but just not interested in the baits
being presented. Im sure there
were many happy anglers but the
majority of the people who e-
mailed me were disappointed
with their catch.
It certainly has a lot to do with
the weather. The forecasted rain
should put some water in the
creeks and increase anglers
chances of catching a trout or
two. I always enjoy trout fishing
after a rainstorm. The water level
should rise, the color of the water
should change and the rainfall
should put natural food into the
streams. This combination could
start a feeding frenzy and put a
smile on anglers faces.
I spoke with a few local bait
and tackle shops and they all
agree that the fishing has been
unusual for this time of year.
Most recommend power baits
and salmon eggs. It seems like
the water level in the creeks was
too low for spinners. They were
selling a lot of worms and grubs
as well. Lake fishermen are do-
ing well on live bait and slow
moving spoons.
The Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission stocked
Frances Slocum State Park Lake
with trout again this past Mon-
day, drawing the attention of
many local anglers. The shore-
lines and boat ramps were busy
all week.
This lake is expected to be
stocked again on Saturday, April
28. If youre interestedinhelping
or watching the excitement, sim-
ply showup at the park office by
11:45 a.m. when the stocking
trucks are expected to show up.
You can get trout stocking infor-
mation on the Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commission home-
page at fishandboat.com.
Remember to watch Pennsyl-
vania Outdoor Life at 6:30 p.m.
on WNEP-TV. Well take you on
a turkey scouting adventure you
dont want to miss. It will surely
gobble up your attention. Have a
great day!
Its spring. Lets talk some turkey
