The big day is here do you
have your Mothers Day gift?
Today, Imsharing some unique
ways to Do Your Part and show
the mothers in your life how
much you care. And as a bonus,
youll be taking care of Mother
Earth at the same time!
Flowers are usually a staple of
Mothers Day. Before you spend
bigbucks ona beautiful bouquet
that will end up in the trash, con-
sider something a bit different.
One of my all-time favorite
Mothers Day gifts are the pe-
onies nowplanted in my garden.
They bloom right around Moth-
ers Day and remind me of the
day my two children gave them
tome. Theyare beautiful, bloom
each year, and smell amazing.
You can go with a similar idea or
find a local nursery and give a
beautiful potted plant that will
last through the year. Many su-
permarkets also sell potted
plants from local nurseries.
Another smart idea is to give
the gift of a service. This is
something that definitely wont
end up in the back of a dresser
drawer. Consider items to make
it easier on mom such as a gift
certificate for a house cleaning
service, a day at a beauty salon,
or even a cooking class for two.
Waste-free ideas show moms
you care without giving some-
thing with a whole lot of pack-
aging or that will eventually
wind up in the trash or a landfill.
If jewelry is a must for your
Mothers Day plans, your eco-
friendly options are endless.
You can find earrings made of
colorful and recycled glass,
necklaces intricately crafted
from recycled silver, or my per-
sonal favorite items from
Beads For Life. These are beau-
tiful pieces of jewelry that you
would never guess are actually
handcrafted fromrecycled mag-
azine paper by women in Ugan-
da. This incredible craft helps
them support their families and
rebuild their lives. You can visit
DoYourPart.com/Columns for
more recycled jewelry suggesti-
ons.
As for the Mothers Day
cards, give a card that shows you
care about the environment too.
You could select one made with
recycled paper or give a card
that truly gives back. The Arbor
Day Foundation offers electron-
ic "Give a Tree" cards. For a
small donation, ane-cardwill be
sent to the Momin your life and
a tree will be planted in her
name. You can also make a do-
nation to The Blue Planet Net-
work. An e-card will be sent
along with details on how that
donation will help people
around the world get access to
clean drinking water.
You can easily let your imag-
ination run wild this Mothers
Day as you come up with a
thoughtful and meaningful gift.
Just dont forget to keep Mother
Earth in mind as you do! Its an
important way to Do Your Part
while showing how much you
care this year.
THI NKI NG GREEN
Mothers Day for Mother Earth
If jewelry is a must for Mother's Day, your eco-friendly options are endless. For example you can
find necklaces like this made of colorful and recycled glass.
Before you spend big bucks on a bouquet that will end up in the
trash, consider something like peonies, which are some of the
most beautiful of all flowering shrubs.
Consider a gift certificate for a
day at a beauty salon.
By TERRI BENNETT
McClatchy Newspapers
For nine years, I have taken a
pre-Mothers Day mom-cation
away from home and everybody
in it.
The first year was 2004. My
children were 6, 10 and 14. I left
for six days, but not before com-
piling seven pages of color-cod-
ed daily schedules for my hus-
band, with several postscripts:
"Remember Benjie needs his
blankie at night. Emily should
have a snack before piano. Chris
is not allowed to ride with Joe to
school because hes a speed de-
mon."
Nine seasons
later, I still build
a flexible career
around the
same vacation
destination, to
my sisters
home in New
Orleans where
she keeps a spa-
cious room in
the attic on re-
serve for way-
ward siblings.
But every-
thing else has
changed.
My children
have grown to
15, 19, and 23
and out of the
house. Sixvaca-
tion days have
evolved to 12 to
embrace both
weekends of the
New Orleans
Jazz and Heritage Festival. And
the ream of rules I used to give
my husband has shrunk to one ti-
ny request: "Please dont forget
me while Im gone."
My vacation away from them,
you see, has become theirs, too,
away from me.
This was never the purpose of
the mom-cation, mind you.
I give my husband credit early
on for supporting the original
theory, that mothers never really
get away unless they GET
AWAY, that this mom in partic-
ular, withnoextendedfamilyres-
Mom-cation
can benefit
entire family

aware that his
career is what

into Yankee
territory to
begin with,
also knows if
his Southern
wife doesnt
occasionally
dance to the
Neville Broth-
ers in 90-
degree humid-
ity while
wearing Mardi
Gras beads,
there could be
trouble.

I
ts not that I dont appreciate the vig-
orous Mothers Day wake-up call, the
burned toast, the tipsy vase, the sticky
glass of grapefruit juice.
Its just that sometimes a mom needs
something more.
In my case, the cravings hit about six
months ago, when I couldnt get enough
of tart berries, minimally processed. I
added unsweetened cherry juice to my
grapefruit juice, frozen raspberries to my
smoothies, but nothing quite hit the spot,
until, finally, my desire came firmly into
focus. I wanted rote grutze, the richly col-
ored, intensely flavored berry pudding
my German-born grandmother used to
make with her own raspberries and cur-
rants. A few things stood in my way: My
grandmother, for one. MyOma, whodied
in1999 at age 99, was a marvelously con-
fiding person. Shed sit with you in the
solid stone cottage in Great Neck, N.Y.,
that was her home for more than 50 years
and weave wondrous tales of youthful re-
bellion and lost love in Germany, stories
that transformedyou, a mere fledglingsix
decades her junior, into a true friend and
co-conspirator.
But when it came to her recipes, Oma
clammed up like a suspect under bright
lights.
Ask her how to make one of her stun-
ningly lovely pastries any of her stun-
ningly lovely pastries and her answer
was always, "Well, you need some sugar,
some butter, flour and eggs."
I consulted with my aunt Gail in Mon-
treal, keeper of the family recipes, on the
rote grutze question, but what Gail had
managed to wrangle fromOma was char-
acteristically Sphinx-like: "Bring fruit
anda bit of water toa boil; strain; addsug-
ar to taste; thicken with gelatin, tapioca or
cornstarch."
My mother, a keen observer and one of
those uncanny people who can taste a
dish and recreate it without a recipe, had a
MOTHER S DAY
Why settle for brunch?
This Mother's
Day, treat her to
rote grutze, a
richly colored,
intensely fla-
vored berry
pudding.
Mom hunts down beloved family recipe
Prep: 15 minutes Chill: 1 hour
Cook: 10 minutes Makes: 8 servings
Adapted from "The German Cookbook," by
Mimi Sheraton. If you cant find fresh cur-
rants, use 1 quart raspberries and add black
currant juice to taste (about cup); you
may want more lemon juice as well to bring
up the tartness.
1 quart ripe raspberries and currants (half
and half)
Strip of lemon peel
1 1/2 cups water
Sugar to taste (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup cornstarch
Juice of 1 to 2 lemons
Whipped cream
1. Cook fruit and lemon peel in a saucepan
with 1 cup water until juice is released,
about 10 minutes. Remove lemon peel; push
the fruit through a mesh strainer. Measure
out 1 quart of fruit juice and pulp, adding
water if you dont have enough.
2. Dissolve cornstarch in 1/2 cup water in a
separate bowl. Return juice to saucepan;
add sugar to taste. Simmer until sugar
dissolves completely. Stir in dissolved corn-
starch mixture. Heat to a boil slowly, stir-
ring until mixture is thick; simmer, 3-5
minutes.
3. Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice to
taste. Pour into glass serving bowl or dess-
ert glasses; chill until set, about 1 hour.
Serve with whipped cream.

Happy Mothers Day to all our Moms
Although were not their mother,
We care for them each day.
We cuddle, sing and read to them,
And watch them as they play.
They come to us for comfort,
And we kiss away their tears.
They proudly show their work to us,
We give the loudest cheers!
We know someday the time will come,
When we will have to part,
But we know each child weve cared for
Is forever in our heart.
Love, Miss Cookie, Miss Marie, Miss Kelly
Miss Jen, Miss Aine, Miss Marisa

few key details to add: The berries, she
said, were mushed and strained through
cheesecloth. Cornstarch played a role.
"There may be a little zest in it," Mom
reflected."Theres lemon, is my guess."
Ah, the secret ingredient. There are
those who suspect that Oma routinely
omitted a minor step or ingredient when
asked for a recipe.
My third source, the rote grutze recipe
in "The German Cookbook" by Mimi
Sheraton, dovetailed with the other two,
but some questions remained. Sheratons
recipe offered a puree option, which I by-
passed on my mothers advice. And what
about the currants? With no fresh currants
to be had at my grocery store, could I sub-
stitute black currant juice? Adding to my
quandary: Black currant juice tastes foul,
sour and stale simultaneously.
I settled for upping the raspberries
the dominant flavor in my memories
and using a small amount of currant juice.
Tasting as I went, I swooned over the
cooked raspberries and took my mothers
advice, forcing as much fruit as possible
through a mesh strainer. Some seeds got
through, but Gail says that "straining"
shouldnt be interpreted too strictly.
The final result wasnt quite perfect;
Gail says Omas notations indicate that 26
ounces fruit go into 2 cups juice, and Id
go with that higher ratio next time for a
slightly more vibrant berry flavor. Id also
reduce the cornstarch by a smidge for a
little more give in the pudding texture.
Still, chilling solidified and intensified
the flavors, sending the sugar into retreat
and allowing the berries to emerge, beau-
tifully balanced by the tartness of citrus
and currants.
Maybe not perfect, but close enough.
For a few dizzying seconds, and then a
second more, I was back in my grand-
mothers home. Time and space evaporat-
ed and raspberries reigned supreme.

pite nearby, needed a clearly defined
break from her sweet, but dependent,
charges.
Just as importantly: We live in the
North. I am from the South.
My husband, aware that his career is
what dragged me into Yankee territory to
begin with, also knows if his Southern
wife doesnt occasionally dance to the
Neville Brothers in 90-degree humidity
while wearing Mardi Gras beads, there
could be trouble.
What he didnt know was how much
hed come to like it.
"Its easier to focus on my work when
youre gone," my husband admits. "And I
get to be master of the house without hav-
ing to compromise."
Nine years of solo vacations later, I
have a new perspective. I listen to my
younger mother friends wax guilty when
they leave their family for even a day or
two. And I have to tell them what Ive
come to believe that not only is Moma
better personwhenshe gets todance with-
out a baby on her hip but children, es-
pecially girl children, benefit fromseeing
their female role model take care of her-
self. And Dad gets to see what hes capa-
ble of including having not one, but
two poker parties.
I know this to be true. I called several
nights during my most recent trip to check
in with my youngest child. Two of those
nights, I heard raucous, male laughter in
the background.
"I sawwhiskey," my19-year-olddaugh-
ter said.
Nine years after myfirst solovacation, I
have to say, I ambeginning to outgrowthe
need for lengthy separations.
I no longer yearn for an extended vaca-
tionfromchildrenwhoare hardlyhome to
begin with. Dont tell my Aunt Charlotte
in Greenville, S.C., but Ive come to miss
the quiet little town north of the Mason-
Dixon that is now my home.
Meanwhile, my vacations seem only to
be growing on my husband.
"Stay as long as youd like," he tells me.
I know he means well.
But at this point, what I like hearing
more is what he says next: "Just as long as
you come back."

It is said people go into jour-
nalism for two reasons: to com-
fort the afflicted and to afflict
the comfortable. For nearly 45
years, I have devoted myself
almost exclusively to the first
of these reasons.
Thats why I felt so bad last
Sunday when I realized I had
omitted a name of a Home-
town Hero from my column. I
was writing hoping to drum up
support for the Hometown
Heroes Memorial planned for
the Greater Pittston Chamber of
Commerce grounds. The me-
morial a flag pole surrounded
by markers, and tributes from
donors inscribed on blocks and
brick pavers will honor those
local heroes who recently sacri-
ficed their lives for causes they
believed in. They are: Lt. Col.
Richard Berrettini, 1st Lt. Jef-
frey DePrimo, Army Specialist
Dale Kridlo, all three of whom
died in action in Afghanistan;
and Pennsylvania State Trooper
Joshua Miller and Virginia
Beach Police Officer Rodney F.
Pocceschi, both of whom were
killed in the line of duty. And a
tree will be planted as a living
memorial to Capt. TJ Hromisin,
who was critically wounded
while serving in Iraq. In the
column I left out Rodney Poc-
ceschi.
My first thoughts were of his
family. Many readers would not
notice the omission but I knew
his family would. And as Moth-
ers Day approached I won-
dered about Rodneys mom.
My friend Joe DeLucca was
close with Rodney and I called
him to ask if I had caused her
pain. Joe told me Rodneys
mom died just recently but
added that Rodney had another
mom Aunt Lucy Pocceschi,
of Pittston Township, with
whom he and his sisters lived
during their high school years.
Saturday I spoke with Aunt
Lucy who said Rodney was
every bit a son to her and that
she misses him every day. He
loved my breaded chicken, she
said. He always told me I
should have a stand at the To-
mato Festival.
On June 23 it will be nine
years since Rodney was killed
and while there has been some
healing, Aunt Lucy, who is now
84, misses him tremendously.
On this Mothers Day I am
thinking about all the moms
and surrogate moms like Aunt
Lucy who have endured the
loss of a child. No matter how
old children may be, they are
always their mothers babies
and they are not supposed to
die first.
My fathers mother, my
Grammy Ackerman, was a
two-time Gold Star Mother.
Two of her sons were killed in
World War II, including my
namesake Edward Ackerman.
She also lost another son in an
automobile accident and a
daughter, to whom she gave the
unusual name of Leafa even
though she was already dead at
birth.
My moms heart always
ached for my grandmother. It
must be so painful to have to
bury your child, she said
whenever shed hear of such a
tragedy. When that fate befell
her friend Helen Adonizio
when Helens daughter Mary
Christine died, my mom went to
pieces. And when my mothers
own daughter, my sister Barba-
ra, succumbed to cancer, well,
we all believed it hastened my
moms death. She joined her
daughter less than four months
later.
To me there is no sadder
sight than a grieving mom.
After a high school class-
mate, Walter McCracken, died
in a New Years Eve car crash
the same year that we gradu-
ated, his mother placed a me-
morial ad in the Sunday Dis-
patch every single year on New
Years Day until she, herself,
passed away. Oftentimes, she
walked to the newspaper from
her home about a mile away,
the sad expression on her face
never changing.
And my wife often comments
on another grieving mother, the
mom of our classmate Billy
Kause who was killed in Viet-
nam in 1968. Billys grave in
Pittston Cemetery is not far
from that of Mary Kays dad
and she recalls Mrs. Kause
coming every day to kneel and
pray.
Then, of course, theres Mary,
mother of Jesus Christ. At the
foot of the cross, she may have
found comfort holding the Son
of God, but its difficult to
imagine her not thinking: This
is my baby boy.
There are dozens and dozens
of grieving moms living among
us, going about their business,
bumping into us in stores or at
church or even at parties where
we might share a laugh or two.
We know better than to mention
the burden they carry, but while
we cannot see the permanent
wounds on their hearts, we
cannot help but notice the
changed look in their eyes.
So, as we honor our moms
today, both living and deceased,
let us say a special prayer for
those who grieve. Not that they
need our prayers, however, for
surely they must have a special
place in the heart of God.
Ed Ackerman, optimist

While the opening of what the
citycalls the TomatoBar inthe
Old Bottoms Up on Spring
Street behind the Penn Park
Building is still months away, a
plan for its motif is taking shape.
Co-owner Mike Partash said,
We might call it Mike and An-
dys Tomato Bar but Im not 100
percent on that. Weve got to get
a game plan. Honest to God I
dont know exactly what we will
do.
Partash and his brother, Andy,
are business partners.
Mike did say the plan calls for
an outdoor patio or deck and he
has a rough idea what the two
will do inside. We gutted the
place down to the brick and we
like the way that brick looks. We
think it will have an industrial
look with exposed duct work.
We might dosome of the stuff we
did at the ale house with the
beers.
The Partash brothers owned
the River Street Ale House on
River Road in Jenkins Township
which had a multiple beer tap
system and featured import and
craft beers. It was destroyed by
the flood last September. They
also own Brews Brothers on Riv-
er Road.
Mike Partash emphasized that
nothing, with the exception on
an outdoor seating area, is set in
stone. Were still in the prelimi-
nary stages. There are a lot of un-
knowns.
The faade design is by archi-
tect Paul Lewis who also de-
signed the Napoli faade. He
said the Tomato Bar faade will
be similar, but not the same.
Were goingfor anold-time pub
feel. Because it is in the alley, we
want to create something that
will draw the eye into the alley.
The faade, which is partially
paid for with a city faade grant,
will feature deep, nine-foot high
windows with rows of smaller
panes above, new and rebuilt
cornices and globe in a cage
lighting. The color scheme is
beige with a black background
and cranberry windows.
The two houses on Spring
Street across fromthe bar and an
adjacent one on Kennedy are go-
ing to be demolished, which will
open up a viewof the bar and the
firehouse and create parking
The Tomato Bar is just one of
several projects, some ongoing
and others about to start, which
are the next phase of the remak-
ing of the heart of downtown.
On Thursday, a bid was award-
ed to Hadley Construction to
build a pocket park in the 40 x
40 lot between Napolis and the
Dental Building. The pocket
park will feature landscaping, a
water wall, seating area and a
small stage for light musical en-
tertainment.
Mike Lombardo of the rede-
velopment authority envisions
Advanced Arms at 81 S. Main St. is
getting a new faade. JACK SMILES/THE SUNDAY DISPATCH
These two houses and one behind themare coming down to create parking
and open a view of the firehouse and the 'Tomato Bar.'
A sign on Kennedy Boulevard indicates
a condo unit is coming soon.
Whats up downtown?

Borini works in different me-
diums, but is probably best
known for his drawings, paint-
ings and murals of historic Pitt-
ston, two of which fill the walls
of Savos Pizza.
Theres a 124-foot Borini mu-
ral in Gerritys supermarket in
West Pittston. Borini murals
grace the walls of many local pri-
vate homes and hes painted pa-
triotic themed murals for VFWs,
American Legions and the Ma-
rine Corps League in Miners
Mills.
Borini has been painting since
he was 5 or 6 years old.
When I was a kid, I couldnt
stand white paper lying around,
he said. I remember my mother
had wallpaper and I knew there
would be some leftover and I
couldnt wait to get my hands on
it so I could paint on it.
The past three weeks he has
been attacking another white
space.
Working froma small painting
he did years ago, he is painting a
scene of vintage Pittstonona 9X
7 wall in the waiting room of
Pittston Dental on Main Street.
The scene includes the very
building in which he is working.
Another white space being covered by a Borini
Joe Borini is completing yet another mural depicting the history of Pittston. This one is on the wall of
Pittston Dental and includes the very building it is in.

The Earthly Angels Autism
Fund, founded in 2001 by Ron
and Brenda DEliseo after their
son Robert was diagnosed with
autism, has established an en-
dowment fund with the Luzerne
Foundation to ensure that their
cause of promoting awareness of
autism and supporting programs
to aid autistic children and adults
will continue far into the future.
This will allowus to continue
to have the funding into perpe-
tuity and to provide funding for
services forever, Ron DEliseo
wrote in a letter being mailed to
nearly 300 supporters of the
Earthly Angels.
DEliseo points out in the let-
ter that since its inception, the
Earthly Angels AutismFund has
donated more than $150,000 to
community programs benefiting
autistic individuals. We have
provided funding for therapeutic
services, summer camps, swim
lessons, technology, playground
equipment and much more, he
writes, adding, We couldnt
have served so many children
without your support.
DEliseo explained that by
forming the endowment fund,
the Earthly Angels will scale
back fundraising projects and
eliminate the annual summer
dinner-dance titled Reggae for
Robert. He said this is in part
because of todays economic
hard times to which the Earthly
Angels board is sensitive.
In the letter, he writes that the
organizations mission to
proactively increase awareness;
provide funding to qualified
nonprofit organizations for au-
tistic services, support programs
and education; and to bring hope
to those families who deal with
the hardships of this disorder
remains the same.
DEliseo pointed out recent
studies that show1in 77 children
born are nowdiagnosed with au-
tism.
The letter asks those who wish
to continue to support the Earth-
ly Angels with a monetary gift
may do so by sending checks
made out to the Earthly Angels
Autism Fund to: Earthly Angels
Autism Fund, 32 Huckleberry
Lane, Duryea, PA18642.
Other members of the Earthly
Angels board of directors are:
Anthony DEliseo, Anthony
Grabosky, Dr. Salvatore Infanti-

rito, Jr., Ed Ackerman, Tom

The bell is ringing again at the
former St. Casimirs Church at
65 Church St. But the peals
arent a call to Mass. They are a
call to actors, singers, dancers
and artists of any kind.
Gina Malsky, the owner of
Downtown Arts in a former
Methodist church on Franklin
Street in Wilkes-Barre, is plan-
ning to open what she will call
Downtown Arts II in the former
St. Casimirs. Ray Hassey
brought the church from the
Scranton Diocese for Malsky to
manage.
Since the real estate closing
last month, Malsky enjoys ring-
ing the bell every time she opens
the building.
Every time I come, in I ring
it, she said. And everybody on
the street wonders whats hap-
peninghere. Its goingtobe great
to open our doors and get every-
body in here to see what were up
to. Everybody is wondering.
While the Wilkes-Barre
church and St. Casimirs are both
called Downtown Arts, Malsky
claims they are different. In
Wilkes-Barre, we have more stu-
dio space. We rent out 15 differ-
ent areas for art, pottery, voice,
fencing, theater. Downtown Arts
2 is more of a performance ven-
ue.
To that end, Applause Theater,
a community theater now locat-
ed in Duryea, will be the main
tenant at DA II. Wally Kulick,
the president and co-founder of
Applause Theater, has high
hopes for what the renovated
church will look like as a com-
munity theater venue. Its going
to be grand, amazing, he said,
and we are going to keep the in-
tegrity of the church.
Kulick said Applause will of-
fer voice and theatrical classes,
childrens programs, run a sea-
son of shows and open the venue
for other community theaters.
They are a great group, Mal-
sky said of Applause. Very ea-
ger. Great energy.

To long-time local residents,
culm piles are part of the land-
scape. But the landscape is being
altered by a coal reclamation
project on 25 acres of land span-
ning parts of Dupont and Avoca
bordered by Quail Hill. The in-
gress is near the bridge at the end
of Pittston Avenue.
Mineral Reclamation - which
lists its address and phone num-
ber under G & Albert Consult-
ants, 30 Market St., Pittston - en-
tered into an agreement to re-
claim the coal product from the
waste with the Central Develop-
ment Group LCC of Wilkes-
Barre and Ray Hassey, the own-
ers of the land.
According to the Office of
Surface Mining (OSM), the con-
tract calls for five acres at a time
to be reclaimed. Based on how
well the process goes and what
grade of material they get, they
can decide to keep going. Its
market driven, an OSMspokes-
man said.
In his presentation to Dupont
Borough Council last year, Ge-
orge Albert of Mineral Reclama-
tion estimated there were 1.2
million tons of culm on the site
and that it would take four to five
years to complete the project.
The culm is dry screened on
site to separate rock from the
coal product which is loaded on
tri-axle trucks. About 10 to 15
trucks a day haul the screened
product to a co-gen power plant
in Schuylkill County.
The project is called the Hei-
delberg Reclamation Project be-
cause the Heidelberg Coal Com-
pany operated a breaker on the
site from1933 to 1958.
The site had been mined as
early as 1874 by the Hillside Iron
& Coal Company. According to
oldforgecoalmine.com, it reac-
hed its peak production of
308,452 tons of coal in 1917
when it was operated by the Le-
high Valley Coal Company,
working the Mary Slope, Clark
Slope, Red Ash Slope, No 2
Shaft, No 2 Drift and Pittston No
2 Drift.
In 1959, the site was operated
by the Hughestown Coal Com-
pany. It has been abandoned
since then.

The official tally is in on the
April 24 primary election. In the
race for the Democratic nomina-
tion in the 17th Congressional
District, Matt Cartwright defeat-
ed incumbent Tim Holden 57
percent to 43 percent district-
wide.
While it was a mildly surpris-
ing result, it wasnt shocking.
But the numbers here in the
Greater Pittston municipalities
in the 17th were somewhat
shocking. Despite endorsements
for Holden by the Greater Pitt-
ston Friendly Sons of St. Patrick,
many of the mayors, councils
and state representatives in the11
local municipalities in the 17th,
including Pittston City Council,
Wyoming Mayor Bob Boyer and
State Rep Mike Carroll, Cart-
wright won in all 11 municipal-
ities and in all of the 31 wards
and districts in those municipal-
ities.
And it was a more than 2-to-1
rout here. The 11 local munici-
palities went for Cartwright by11
points more than the district did,
68.7 to 31.2, 3488 1586.
Cartwrights biggest wins lo-
cally were in West Wyoming
where he took 74 percent of the
vote and Pittston, 73 percent.
Holdens best showing was in
Avoca where he lost, 55-45, 269-
198.

Samir Date and Dipalee Somai-
ya are sure to charma local audi-
ence when they perform songs
from Bollywood on May 18, but
concert organizers hope their au-
dience will be charmed even
more by the idea of helping chil-
dren.
The youngsters in question
live in remote villages in India,
where $1 a day can support a
classroom in which theyll mas-
ter reading and writing and learn
about health and hygiene.
The non-profit Ekal Vidya-
laya foundation hopes these les-
sons will lead to empowered citi-
zens, economic development
and all sorts of good things.
What we are really looking
for is sponsorship of a school,
said Nirmala Nirmul of Moun-
tain Top, one of the organizers of
the concert, which will take
place at St. Maria Goretti Church
in Laflin.
Since its founding in 2000-01
in New Delhi, Ekal Vidyalaya
has reached more than 1 million
students in 36,783 schools. This
is in keeping with the philosophy
of Swami Vivekananda, who is
quoted on the organizations
website: If a poor child cannot
come to education, education
must go to him.
The organizations goal is to
reach 100,000 villages by 2015.
To raise awareness of its work,
the Ekal Vidyalaya this year has
arranged a concert titled Bolly-
wood Milestones 1961-2011.
Movies fromthat era that are a
creative product of Indias an-
swer to Hollywood are filled
with music.
Date and Somaiya, whose
voices can be heard in various
Bollywood movies, have been
traveling from city to city in the
United States to put on the show.
The pair have received rave re-
views for their lively perform-
ances, Nirmul said, and organiz-
ers are thrilled to have them
come to perform locally and of-
fer us the rare opportunity for
such entertainment.
Due to limited capacity at the
venue, early purchase of tickets
is advised.

This year is the100th anniversary of the
West Pittston chapter of the Salvation Ar-
my.
Gone are the days when the Salvation
Army Band played Christmas carols and
hymns onstreet corners inthe GardenVil-
lage.
In that respect the Salvation Army may
not be as visible as it once was, but quietly,
behind the scenes they do tremendous
charity work.
Appropriately, in this, its 100th year in
West Pittston, it might be said the Sallies
did more good than ever.
When the September flood hit, the Sal-
vation Army HQ on Luzerne had eight
feet of water knocking out power and
heat. In that sense it really was like 100
years ago.
Nonetheless the Sallies knewwhat they
had to do: Help people while they helped
themselves.
They set up a tent alongside their HQ
and while they worked to repair their own
building, they fed flood victims and pro-
vided cleaning and other supplies and just
as importantly helped keep up the spirits
in town.
The provided 7,200 meals for flood vic-
tims.
So, we salute the Salvation Army in its
100th year in West Pittston.

By definition, Scleroderma is one of the many life-threatening
illnesses that affects skin and connective tissue throughout the
body. It is a type of arthritis that tightens the fibers supportingthe
framework of ones cells. Scleroderma is considered an autoim-
mune disease; therefore, ones body turns and works against its
own immune system. It cuts off circulation specifically in the
hands and feet. The only thing worse than being afflicted with
this fatal disease is watching someone that means the world to
you suffer everyday from it.
My mother, Debra Leandri, has had this disorder her entire life
without evenknowingit. At age 27, shortlyafter she gave birthto
my older sister Alyssa, symptoms of this disease started to sur-
face. Five and a half years later at age 32, she was officially diag-
nosedwithScleroderma after havingme. Her conditionimmedi-
ately worsened but went directly into remission and thankfully
has been for 20 years. It is safe to say her life is far fromeasy. She
constantlystruggles withsimple everydaytasks that are usuallya
breeze for most people. But my mother, just like anyone else, has
her good and bad days.
Just like any other disease, Scleroderma brings along a lot of
unwanted, painful symptoms. She has continuous joint pain
around the clock. She cannot walk far distances without taking a
break. Being that her skin is tense near her mouth, her visits to
the dentist arent that enjoyable. She also cannot open jars, cans
or even something as simple as a milk jug.
My mothers condition impacts my life immensely. Most of
the time, I like to pretend her illness doesnt exist and that she is
just like another one of my friends healthy moms. People always
pity my family and me because of my mother, which I personally
cannot stand, mainlybecause people make her out tobe someone
who is incapable of being normal.
My mother doesnt have to be 100 percent normal to be an
extraordinary parent. I honestly believe that no other person can
live through what she does and still do it with a smile. If I am
diagnosed with this disease when I am older, I hope more than
anything I can be as strong and brave as she is.
One dayshe might not be able tosignher name or drive a car or
maybe she wont be at my wedding or around when I have my
children, but I prefer not to think of those things. All I know is
that I amextremelythankful for todayandthese verymoments to
have such an inspiring role model in my life. Because each day I
am with her, she shows me that there is no way to be a perfect
parent, but a million ways to be a really great one.
My mother isnt just another healthy mom; shes way more
than that.

Thursday there was a meeting in West
Wyoming concerning regional coopera-
tion among the West Side boroughs.
Thirteen boroughs in the Wyoming Ar-
ea and Wyoming Valley West School dis-
tricts were asked to send representatives
and seven did: Wyoming, West Wyoming,
West Pittston, Larksville, Luzerne, King-
ston and Plymouth.
State Senator John Yudichak was there
and the speaker was Dave Guydish repre-
senting the Mountain Cog, a co-op of 22
towns in the Hazleton area which work to-
gether.
Guydish talked about agreements
where the towns chipped in to buy a sewer
camera, a tar buggyandroadsalt as exam-
ples and saved a bundle.
Theres another meeting in June. Lets
not drop the ball on this.
Towns should
cooperate

Residents of our community attended a workshop at the Du-
ryea Municipal Building on February 21.
The purpose of the meeting was to capture and build a consen-
sus around what community members identify as Duryeas as-
sets and opportunities. Now, we need all residents willing to
make an effort to support the task.
Visions can become a reality. This community works together
to gather more than 1,487 tons of residential and commercial
materials annually to be recycled. We can do more for our com-
munity.
We have available resources. There is money for grants and
opportunities for small business in a long-termCommunity Re-
covery Planning Process. Please come and contribute to this
worthy endeavor.
Meetings canbe heldat 6:30p.m. onMay23, 24or 25. Call me

In honor of Mothers Day, I ask you: is this it?
Theres a song about how fast the days go by,
called Dont blink
I love Kenny Chesney, but he is depressing the
crap out of me. He tells me if I blink, I just might
miss my babies growing up! And then!
They turn into moms and dads?
Good God, is there nothing in between?
But howcan I not blink? In fact, if you wanted to
get technical, we all blink about 25 times a min-
uteso imagine my surprise when I blinked and
found my house almost vacant of everyone to
whom I have birthed.
Kennys right.
I realize Ive spent the last seven years endlessly
belly-aching to you about the many ways in which
my kids are killing me, bit by bit, day by day.
Theyve aged me, but in the process, THEYVE
aged and I am so not prepared for it.
I looked away for a minute and everyone grew-
up. I looked the other way and my baby girl is now
old enough to order a Pabst Blue Ribbon without a
fake ID.
Poignantly sad.
When I was pregnant with my first born, every-
one shared unsolicited parental nuggets with me.
The main billboard read: Enjoy it now! It goes by
so fast!
I remember gritting my teeth and curling my toes
in pain as I relentlessly breast fed my colicky in-
fant, I thought: Dear GodI beg of You, make it
go faster. At that time, whenever someone told me
to enjoy it, that the days will fly by, I wanted to
punch them in the face.
Youknow, we mothers trytoenjoyeverystinking
minute of it, but its impossible to do by the time
babies #2 and #3 push through. We attempt to bal-
ance a trio of rotating plates in the air while main-
taining special moments with each child, plus pre-
tend to be a good wife.
And life?
Well, it just skips by. There it goes, up and away-
like so much flotsam in the wind.
Madeline has been away at school for three years
and now, and when I exhale, Nicholas will plunge
forwardintothe abyss knownas Senior Year. As we
talk colleges and tuition and outstanding balances
to rival the National Debt, I realize that Imalways
caught off-guard.
Thinking of my younger son, I keep reminding
myself: Well, I still have another one left, like
Im talking about the last piece of coconut cream
pie. That skewed philosophy worked for awhile,
until my 14-year-old decided he doesnt need me
for much anymoreunless you count the feeding,
clothing, transport andmoneything. Then, I amhis
queen.
More and more these days, theres no one left at
the asylum but my husband and I, and the two
smellydogs andleopardgecko, whodoes not count
because Imnot the one cleaning up his lizard-size
turds. If I dont have to clean your poop, you dont
count. Thats the rule.
We sit at the dinner table, just he and I and we
welleat.
Theres no incessant chatter, no in- fighting over
food-throwing.
There are no threats to stop calling each other
butt-head or idiot (out loud, anyway) and no bribes
to eat the beets.
Its justus.
I ask my husband about his day, but lets be hon-
est I dont really care. And instead of answering
me, hes craning his neck at an unnatural angle in
order to see someone on the TVnamed Ian Poulter
in iridescent golf pants do something important
with a stupid club somewhere in a lot of grass.
Yawn.
Double yawn.
Listen, if I wasnt the age of a stegosaurus, I
would love to have more children. Because, what
am I supposed to call this column once everyone
leaves me? Geriatric Daze?
Not as funny.
As it stands now, however, Id have a better
chance of producing a guppy.but I still wish.
And, I suppose I should stop asking women on
the street with newborns to just have another one
for me. I encourage them to simply plop the little
bundles in my mailboxno questions asked! Peo-
ple are starting to look at me suspiciouslyplus, I
think this request may be construed as illegal.
Sigh.
The point is, we mothers spend an inordinate
amount of minutes and hours and days and weeks
and years perfecting this profession of mother-
hood. We have trained and tested ourselves and ex-
celled, most of the time.
Of course, we school our children in the crash
course called self-sufficiency and independence.
Theyre supposed to leave, right? Dr. Phil told me
they are. I just wish I felt better about it.
Im hoping that by the time my son loads up the
truck with his dorm-ready supplies and leaves skid
marks out of West Pittston, Ill be better prepared.
I still have another year to prep and I swear to
God Im going to try to relish it and not spend the
time barking at himto pick-up the Gatorade bottles
filled with sunflower seeds from under his bed or
harp on himto please not sprinkle on my clean toi-
let seat.
When hes ready to go Im hoping Ill wake up
one day and find a baby in my mailbox.
One without colic.
One who will not golf.
One who will never leave me.
My advice to mothers everywhere is this:
Just.
Dont.
Blink.

HappyMothers Daytoall moms. Enjoyyour dayandhave a laugh!
Even the best cooks have flops in the kitchen. Dont let them fool
you; they are just better at covering themup then the less experienced
cooks. Cooking beans can sometimes be a challenge. Even though
most recipes are simple, beans do vary. I amnot an experienced bean
cook, hence I have made a fewembarrassing mistakes! This mistake
was last week when my red baked bean casserole could have been
used for an air soft gun war!
Afewcolumns ago I wrote about the ORACscore of foods (Fight
Free Radicals, read it online if you missed it). This is the measure of
Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. Its the amount of available
antioxidants found naturally in a food, measured in a test tube. Cur-
rent research nowactually is looking at howwell we absorb and make
use of these antioxidants. Redbeans have a veryhighORACscore. In
fact its one of the higher rated foods. So I tried my hand at cooking
these red beans and serving them to my family. A few laughs later, I
decided to search again the cooking qualities of these little red beans!
The Idaho Bean Commission Web site gave me some insight as to
why even after cooking11/2 hours, the baked red beans outside skins
never softened. Heres what they said.
Always use fresh dry beans if possible. Beans that have been stored
for over 12 months or in unfavorable conditions may never soften. So
I thought, maybe the dried beans that I purchased were not fresh.
Hard water may also cause hard beans. Research shows that adding
salt to soaking water results in softer seed coats after cooking. Dis-
solve 3 tablespoons of table salt in 4 quarts of cold water and soak
beans for 8 to12 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse the beans before
cooking.
Add acidic foods, such as tomatoes, vinegar, lemon or calcium-
rich molasses at the end of the cooking time. Adding before may
toughen the skins. So this could be why as I added catsup to as an
ingredient in my baked beans.
Once we make mistakes, it forces us to read and learn more so we
dont make the same mistake twice! Try this recipe using red beans.
Note, this calls for canned beans, however if you wish to use dried,
soak1pound over night in 4 quarts of water. Call our office to request
the Preparing Dry Beans and Dry Whole Peas handout. Pay special
note to the comments above! Enjoy!
Red Beans and Rice
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 medium tomatoes, finely diced (or use 15 oz. can with liquid
poured off)
1 medium green pepper, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 medium stalks celery, sliced (about 1 cup)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1-15 ounce can red beans, rinsed and drained or if using dried, soak
overnight
4 cups cooked brown rice
Place oil in large skillet and heat. Add onion and saut until soft.
Add garlic, tomatoes, green pepper, celery, and oregano. Cover and
simmer for 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add beans
and simmer, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Add pepper
if desired. Cookrice. Spoonthe vegetable andbeanmixture over rice.

Its the subtle and simple things that we come to
remember. In the vast cavern that holds our memo-
ries, those that rise to the surface as we grow and
change are scenes snapshots of moments that
may have passed us by while they were occurring
but took deep hold inside of us only to appear
much later or when we least expect.
I wrote this poem, Her Hands following the
death of my grandmother, Gladys Mirch. The
words were inspired by my last visit with my
grandmother who, in the end, was completely over-
come by the horror of Alzheimers disease. Al-
though her illness seemed to strip her of the
whole of her identity, by Gods grace, there were
certain qualities that always seemed to connect us
back to who she was and the incredible life she
lived qualities like the chocolate brown of her
eyes, the softness of her voice, the crackle of her
rare laugh and most of all the beauty, dexterity
and incredible capacity of her hands.
Before saying good-bye during my last visit with
her, I kissed her forehead and placed my hands in
hers. As her hands tightened around mine, the
warmth conveyed in that moment reminded me
that she was still with us and neither illness nor
death could rob us of our memories of her.
Although written about my grandmother, this
piece invites us to reflect upon and to celebrate our
ownmothers givingrise toour ownmemories of
her hands and how they touched, held, nurtured,
loved, served and healed us. If your mother is liv-
ing, take her hands in yours today, savor the mo-
ment and thank her. If she has already passed, take
a quiet moment and reflect upon the feel and tex-
ture of her hands, raise your eyes to the sky, and
utter a word of thanks. If you are a mother, look
down at your own hands study their beauty and
form and bow to all the ways that they help you to
hold, heal and serve those you love.
Her hands
Her hands, brightly colored yarn wrapped
around her long fingers her fingers moving in a
captivating, synchronized rhythm, as if in a grace-
ful dance as she crotched.
Her hands, holding her beloved rosary each
bead pressed firmly between her fingertips her
eyes closed her lips murmuring the prayers that
took her through each decade of the rosary over so
many years through the many decades in which
she prayed to the Blessed Mother prayers for us
for our safety, protection, well being.
Her hands, picking bib lettuce from the garden.
Her hands, holding blood, red tomatoes.
Her hands, holding the weight of summer zuc-
chini and squash.
Her hands, wrapped around a cup of steaming
hot tea each day after lunch.
Her hands, peeling apples, and more apples and
more apples always, apples.
Her hands, stained blue after hours picking blue-
berries.
Her hands, kneading dough the dough of a
thousand pies and cookies.
Her hands, holding children her own, her
grandchildren, her great grandchildren.
Her hand, at the small of your back her hand
radiating the warmth of solace, the force of her
strength, and always, her touch, conveying this
message: Everything will be okay and, all is as
it should be.
Her right hand, composing letters in Christmas
cards, her penmanship jagged and crooked in her
later years, her words, always words of the heart
her words, written by her hands, always words of
love, connection, compassion.
Her hands in the days before her dying her
skin as thin as parchment her veins protruding a
bright blue, evidence of the life force still throb-
bing inside of her, but soon to diminish.
Her hands, serving, holding, loving, healing
Her hands, intertwined with the hands of her be-
loved husband, Michael, as she drew her last
breath.
Her hands, folded reverently in prayer.

Did you say I love you to your
mother today?
Did you say I love you in your
own special way?
Think about your mother and
what she has done for you,
Think about how she loves you
through and through,
Remember the sad times and the
happy times too.
How she helped you, whenever
you were blue,
A small kiss or hug when you
have the time,
Tell your mother, I am so glad
you are mine,
It is the small things that go a
long way,
To make your mother feel spe-
cial is all you have to say,
So remember your mother all
through the year,
Just say I love you with laughter
and cheer,
When your mother is gone, your
life will change,
Your life will never be the same,
Your heart will be broken, the
tears will fall,
You will cherish the memories
big and small,
You will remember the fun times
both of you shared,
You will remember how much
she did care,
Remember your mother each
and every day,
Think of all the blessings she
brought your way.
Love and God bless!

Question 1
Retired railroad
man, Michael Wara-
bak of Thistle Street,
Pittston, had plans to
present what unusual
item to President John F.
Kennedy in 1961?
1961 51 Years ago
With a clubhouse, press box, first aid,
meeting room, concession stand and
big-league dugout at the Duryea Little
League Stadium was touted as one of
the best in this part of the state. Dedi-
cation ceremonies for the new stadium
were planned with Larry McNulty
serving as parade marshal and Atty.
William DeGillio as master of ceremo-
nies.
Due to world conditions, league
officials included a flag-raising ceremo-
ny as a reminder that America is the
keystone of free nations in the world.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, If you were able to
question spaceman Alan Shepard on his
recent flight what would you ask?
Sam Alaimo, Pittston, answered, I
would ask if being the second man in
space made him feel differently than if
he had made the flight before the Rus-
sians.
Diane Kendzor, West Wyoming, said,
Id like to know more details of his
feelings during that long waiting period
before take-off.
Thomas Pyne, Sebastopol, added, I
wonder if he gave much thought to his
wife and children.
John Baiera, of Pittston, said, Ive
wondered what the scenery was from
the highest point of his ride.
In January 1961, Shepard was chosen
for the first American manned mission
into space.
The flight was originally scheduled
for October 1960, but the mission was
postponed several times. On April 12,
1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin
had become the first person to orbit the
Earth. On May 5, 1961, Shepard piloted
Freedom 7 and became the second per-
son and the first American in space.
Shepard stayed in suborbital flight for 15
minutes, which carried him to an alti-
tude of 116 statute miles.
Robert H. Spare, of Wyoming, was
aboard the carrier USS Lake Champlain
which participated in recovery oper-
ations for Navy Commander Alan She-
pard.
1971 41 Years Ago
Joseph Caprio, president of the
Wyoming Valley Coin Club, presented a
donation to Thomas Salitas of the
VFW Post #1227 Duryea in appreciation
for the use of the facilities for club
meetings.
The Coin Club was formed in May
1967 when Pittston and Anthracite Val-
ley Coin Clubs merged. In that time, the
club, which had over 250 members,
issued three commemorative medals
depicting historic events and sites such
as the Wyoming Massacre, the Fort
Jenkins Bridge and Queen Esthers
Rock.
Over 50,000 people were expected to
attend the festivities planned by the
Avoca Centennial Committee. Members
of the Avoca Band scheduled a ride-a-
thon during which band members would
stop at various spots in the borough and
perform.
Joseph Shorty Bartnicki chairman
of the sports committee announced an
Old Timers baseball game with team
members Peter Lavelle, George Luven-
der, Bobby George, Henry Stahl, Hen-
ry Meade, Johnny Hughes, Jim
OBrien Jack Luvender, Ken Feeney,
Henry Hokien, Bill Romanowski, Leo
Buzz McGlynn, Butch Skiereoski,
Daddy Gilrain, Eddie Hobbs, Peter
Smegelski, Ed McCarthy, Ed and Joe
Vols, John Robbins, Joe Nadolski, Joe
and Frank Dutko, Dinty Waleski and
Norbie Snopek all seeing action.

crowning of the Avoca Little League
Queen, Donna Berlew. Diane Ruda
and Debbie Collins were runners up in
the contest.
1981 31 Years Ago
At the opening day ceremonies of the
Avoca Little League field, Mrs. Ed
Fritz unveiled a plaque honoring her
late husband. Ed Fritz was well known
as the guiding force in the develop-
ment of Little League in the borough.
Stanley Swanek, Little League presi-
dent, Denver Naugle of the Kerr
McGee Company and Joe, Marie, Dave
and Tom Fritz were present at the cere-
monies. Kerr McGee donated Land for
the new field.
In observance of Keeping American
Beautiful Day, Cub Scout Pack 345,
Pittston Township spent the day remov-
ing trash around the Francis E. Walter
Dam in White Haven. Webelo Leaders
Joseph Azaravich and George Lewert
joined forces with PennDOT and the
Army Corps of Engineers in bringing in
the Scouts to help in the environmental
effort. According to the website kab.org
Keep America Beautiful, Inc. is the
nations largest volunteer-based commu-
nity action and education organization
with a network of more than 1,200 affil-
iate and participating organizations.
The goal of this years Great American
Cleanup Day held in April was to recruit
4 million volunteers to participate in the
event.
Soccer was a relatively new sport in
the area, but Pittston Area Red Devils
coach John McCafferty was confident
that his team could be one of the best
around. A soccer phenom sidelined by
an injury early in his career,
McCafferty felt his squad, only in its
second year, was loaded with talented
players like Mike Caputo, Brian
McDade, Joe DAmico, Jack Connors,
Tom and Shawn Quinnan, Ned Tracy,
Gino Cadden, Guy Chiazza, Paul
Menichini and Fran Loftus.
Question #2
What did Mrs. Evelyn Marsh and
Miss Wendy George along with a dedi-
cated group of women do to bring about
positive change in the Borough of Avoca
in 1981?
1991 21 Years Ago
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked area children, What do
you like best about your mom?
Jennifer Kotnarowski, Pittston, an-
swered, The nice things she teaches
me.
Stephanie Wolak, Dupont, added,
Spending time with me playing games
and reading.
Eric Moran, Pittston, stated, My
mom takes me to the park to play and is
a real good cook.
John Kulick, Hughestown, answered,
My mom laughs all the time and gives
me lots of hugs.
The front cover of the Tribute to
Mom section of the Sunday Dispatch
pictured Anna Fryzel, of Dupont, cele-
brating her 100th birthday with family
on May 1, 1991.
Anna was born near Krakow, Poland,
in 1891. She married her husband Tho-
mas at Sacred Heart Church in Dupont
and had six children.
Answer #1
Michael Warabak, of Pittston, en-
joyed the hobby of building models in
glass bottles. In fact, he had already
presented President Roosevelt a framed
photo of the Roosevelt family in a bottle
in 1933.
His plan was to do the same for Presi-
dent Kennedy in 1961. Among some of
his other presentations were a model of
a military plane to the War Department
in Washington, DC, and a model of
Fords tri-motored plane to the Ford
Plant.
First produced in 1925, Fords aircraft
nicknamed The Tin Goose, specified
three engines for reliability and added
features for passenger comfort, such as
an enclosed cabin.
Answer #2
A group of volunteers headed by Li-
brarian Evelyn Marsh and Wendy Ge-
orge past president of the Womens Club
succeeded in bringing about the opening
of the Avoca Library which was located
on the second floor of the American
Legion on Main Street.
The women thanked Walter George,
Rex Yaniello, Sal Alaimo, Bob Collins,
Barry Lumsden, Joseph Sheerer,
Donna George, Annette Jacek, Mary
OBrien, Cathy Emlaw, Margaret
Dougherty, Mary Roccata, Mary
Guide and Jean Haduck for helping set
up the books and the room.
Being a mother is learning about
strengths you didnt know you had, and
dealing with fears you didnt know exist-

Screaming for Hillside Farms
ice cream, but the journey to the
Back Mountain seems a bit far?
Fear not.
The popular ice cream will
soon be served at a newold-fash-
ioned ice cream parlor set to
open on Memorial Day.
Located in the former Main
Diner building on Wyoming
Avenue in Exeter, owners Joe
Bradigan and Nicole Ciali have
been busy renovating.
The parlor, called M.D. Pit,
will offer up to 15 flavors of ice
hard cream, including non fat
and sugar free options, and a fla-
vor of the week, but will also of-
fer fresh-baked pie, cake, coo-
kies and brownies to accompany
the ice cream.
The couple is working with
Lynn Mounce of Hanover Town-
ship who has a bakery business
called Bake My Day. Every-
thing is homemade and every-
thing is fresh, including
Mounces famous Ovaltine
Brownies.
The parlor, although not asso-
ciated with the non-profit Hill-
side, has the dairys blessing.
The Lands at Hillside Farms
Executive Director Chet Mo-
zloomsaidBradiganwas persist-
ent in getting the dairy to agree
toallowhimtosell the ice cream.
Eventually, his enthusiasm is
what won us over, Mozloom
said. We met him and went to
the store to check it out.
Bradigan agreed to pick up the
ice cream, so there is no cost to
Hillside to deliver it.
Its a first for us, Mozloom
said. But we think its a good fit.
We dont think it will take away
from our own dairy store.
The Lands at Hillside Farms is
a 19th century, 412-acre, non-
profit educational dairy farm lo-
cated in Shavertown, about nine
miles from the new business.
Bradigan said hes billing it as
an old-fashioned ice creampar-
lor.
Well do all the classics, he
said. Well make shakes, soda
floats, anything like that.
The property has been in Cia-
lis family since her grandpar-
ents, Sam and Mary Ciali,
opened Main Diner in 1941,
which operated at the location
for 49 years. After that, the fam-
ily turned it into MD Sporting
Goods, run by Cialis parents,
Pat and Marlene Ciali. When
that closed, the family rented the
building and it was home to a
pizza parlor. But that was short
lived, Ciali said.
Its been vacant for a while
and Joe and I decided ice cream
was the way to go, Ciali said,
noting her favorite flavor, choco-
late marshmallow, will be a regu-
lar at the parlor.
Eventually, Bradigan said, he
hopes to install a barbeque pit
and a pavilion in the back of the
property.
Weve lived here our entire
lives and we hope the communi-
ty embraces us, Bradigan said.
And who doesnt love ice
cream?

The color scheme is a combina-

health records in the Pittston Ar-
ea School District.
If any school district child is
missing one or more of the fol-
lowing vaccinations: T-dap, Var-
isella (which is the 2nd dose of
chickenpox), andM.C.V. (which
is the meningitis vaccination), as
per Pennsylvania State law if the
vaccinations are not updated or
completed by May 15, the stu-
dents will not be allowed to at-
tend school until the matter is re-
solved.
This may be a matter of updat-
ing the students paperwork from
their Pediatrician. The PASD is
recommending that parents
check with their family doctor to
see if their children have had the
vaccinations so they can send or
fax to the school their current
vaccination status. Also, if fam-
ilies do not have a family doctor
andwould like more information
or assistance with their childs
vaccinations call the local health
center at 1-877-724-3258.
If an appointment is made to
obtain the immunizations, this
can be presented to the school
nurse in the school the child at-
tends. Proof of an upcoming ap-
pointment will prevent the stu-
dent from being excluded from
school after May 15.
All Pittston Area students must have vaccinations
May 15
deadline to
be strictly
enforced
The next meeting for the All
Class Reunion of Pittston Town-
ship schools will be held on
Thursday, May 24, at 6 p.m. at
Savos Restaurant in the Pittston
Plaza.
At the last meeting the plans
for the 4th reunion to be held on
Saturday, September 1, in Plains
Township Municipal Park on
Clark Lane were formulated.
The reunion will run from
noon to 7 p.m.
Any person who attended Pitt-
ston Twp. schools at any time is
invited to attend.
Any resident of Pittston Town-
ship is also invited to attend.
The cost is $33 per person.

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 U.S. Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision,
has ruled that judges should not consider the
reliability of eyewitness testimony prior to trials.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg acknowledged
that false identifcations by eywitnesses is a
problem, but disagreed that the right solution
was to have preliminary hearings to determine
admissibility. That would be a major change in
American criminal law - and not a good one,
she said. It would mean everyday trials would be
delayed indefnitely while lawyers and the judge
fought over whether an eyewitness was reliable,
capable and unbiased. In our systemof justice,
the jury, not the judge, ordinarily determines
the trustworthiness of evidence, she said.
***
A new California law helps older teens in the
foster care system turn their lives around. The
law will extend benefts for foster kids from age
18 to 21.
***
Oregon has a new law permitting students to
switch schools within a district, or go to a new
district with funding from their own district,
as long as the new school has openings. Its
causing a certain amount of chaos as schools
dont knowhowmany students they are getting
or losing.
***
A NewYork state judge has ruled that a partner
in a lawfrmis not an employee, and cannot sue
for age discrimination.
huge open space with columns
on the sides and Malsky believes
thats a plus. The great thing is
you can change your focal point
when there are no permanent
seats. You could seat people on
the side and have a show in cen-
ter, then you could put the audi-
ence on the stage and the per-
former where audience would
be. Its a unique space. If you are
a small theater, there arent many
places you can go to seat 300,
400 people.
The renovated church could
also host cocktail parties, fund
raisers and art shows, she said.
Whatever happens will take
some time.
There is no exact timetable,
but work should get started in
June or July.
Malsky said the deal for the
church took some doing. I fell
in love with building a year and a
half ago, she said. Charlie
Adonizio he was the realtor
showed it to me six or a seven
times. Every time there was a
downpour, Id call the next day to
see if there was any water dam-
age, but the building was always
safe andsound. We were set togo
in July, but the church wasnt
ready to sell. Then they said yes
in September and thats when my
home in West Pittston was flood-
ed.
Just when it looked like the
flood may squash the deal, Has-
sey, Malskys lawyer and friend,
came to the rescue. He said
why dont I buy it and you run
it? Malsky explained. That
was our deal. Hes the owner.
Downtown Arts II will lease it
until were ready to buy.
Adonizio said Hassey and
Malsky may have saved the
church from demolition. That
was a possibility, Adoniziosaid.
Once they (the Diocese of
Scranton) decommissioned it as
a church, theyhadtopaytaxes on
it and there was some urgency to
do something. Tearing it down
would have reduced their tax
burden.
Malsky is a Catholic and that
colors her approach. Im nerv-
ous about painting over things or
moving things. The church
meant a lot to people. They come
in here and they have a memory
of when they were kids staring
up at the art or the windows.
Were going to keep everything
intact thats left.
That includes some of the
pipes left from the organ, which
was removed, and the confes-
sionals.
They are very cool, Malsky
said of the confessional booths.
Our wheels are turning on how
to use them.
Theres also a well-equipped
kitchen in the basement which
opens up possibilities, and room
for dance classes, which Malsky
will conduct as she does in
Wilkes-Barre.
Malsky said help from the
community will make the venue
go.
We hope people will donate
money and time. A construction
company would be great if they
could volunteer a weekend to
help me get things up to par. Ev-
ery little bit helps.

It is a special day,
When one is glad to say.
That all of your kids love you,
And recall how much you did
for us - whew!
I dont remember you resting
at all,
And in those days it was work,
no shopping at the mall.
Life was hard then, and our fu-
ture was unsure,
We see, ponder, and when one
was sick, you had a cure.
Each year is a memory to
stockpile,
There are so many, they never
go out of style.
As we approach another one,
there is a family calm,
Because May 13 is wonderful,
and you are our Mom.
Ronald Voveris
A special day
There is a time when we are all
babies
There is a time when we are all
adolescent.
Yes, growing up is hard to do,
yet, we could
Not have done it without you.
Yes, I am talking about our
mother.
My sister and I would never let
her be
Mistaken for anything other!
She is always there for us.
She gives us great advice.
Yes, our mom is definitely
made of
Sugar and spice.
The Blessed Mother, the
Mother of Jesus
Guides and directs our mother
To perform in blessed ways
And which always pleases us
No matter what time of the day
When we sit down to pray
We should all thank God for
our moms
They gave birth to us, they fed
us
They helped educate their
children
From kindergarten right up to
our
Junior and senior proms
Yes, mothers are very dear to
us
Some are still with us, other
are not
But one thing never changes,
we sure do
Love them a lot
So, please on this Mothers
Day
Honor your mother
Because on this earth
You will find no other
Celebrate with her, my sister
and I
Always do, and if for any rea-
son
You cannot, you can be rest as-
sured
Her spirit and compassionate
love
Is always with you
So with this poem I hope you
will
All understand.

very cautious when driving
through Pittston, Hughestown
and Jenkins Township on the
morning of the Stride.
If you see runners please slow
down and try to move over if you
can.
A run of this magnitude
doesnt just happen.
Volunteers are greatly needed
to make sure this event is a great
success.
We are offering all of our vol-
unteers great incentives to say
thank you for helping us out,
Lukatch added.

one month adult membership at
$15 (for high school students a
free one-month membership)

Borough news
President Stan Knick reported
at Tuesdays meeting that Jon
Myers fromWNEP-TVcontact-
ed the borough to do a story on
the natural gas truck purchased
by the borough. Dupont Bor-
ough, through a grant award,
purchased a new recycling truck
but one of the requirements of
the grant was that the vehicle had
to be natural gas. President
Knick spoke to Justin from Po-
cono Peterbilt and the truck is
ready and due to arrive this sum-
mer. Peterbilt is planning a pre-
sentation of the vehicle at the
Little League Park with a coo-
kout and events to promote and
introduce the state-of- the-art ve-
hicle to the community. Stan
continued with updates on the
construction projects. The new
traffic lights at Lackawanna/
Chestnut/Main were installed
and the old lights were turned
over to the borough.
Residents have expressed an
interest in buying the old lights;
however, borough officials have
decided to keep the lights at the
borough garage as memorabilia.
Council has received a dona-
tion of two large stones from the
Laurel Line Wall. One stone will
be used as a base of the town
clock and the borough manager
is looking into preserving histo-
ry by having the Laurel Line
painted on the other stone.
The borough engineer provid-
ed updates on pending borough
projects. Plans for the mainte-
nance garage will be placed out
for rebid as the current bids re-
ceived were higher than antici-
pated. It was recommended that
Council rebid the project for a
shell and electrical service only
based on current budget.
OCD funding for 2012 - the
engineer is awaiting notice on
available funding. Once the bor-
ough receives notice of available
funds, it will proceed with the
designandbiddingfor Oak, Lidy
and Walnut Street paving.
Bids were advertised for the
fence project at the compost fa-
cility. The bids will be opened at
a special Council meeting on
May 16.
Solicitor Eric Dingle reported
that out the approximately 50 de-
linquent sewer accounts, six ac-
counts have been filed with the
magistrate so far at a cost of
$1,000. The solicitor will be no-
tified when the magistrates of-
fice sets hearing dates.
Several complaints have been
received from residents pertain-
ing to open fire pits. Questions
and concerns have been raised
on the safety and health issues
from the smoke. Council passed
a motion for the solicitor to look
into existing ordinances pertain-
ing to rules and regulations for
open fire pits.
The next regular monthly
Council meeting will be held on
June 5.
Special meeting
The Dupont Borough Council
will hold a special meeting at 7
p.m. on Wednesday, May 16 in

bers to review and adopt an

Wyoming Area instituted
Pennsylvanias School-wide
Positive Behavior System at the
beginning of the 2011-2012
school year. The PSPBS is a
proactive systems approach for
creating and maintaining safe
and effective learning environ-
ments in schools and ensuring
that all students have the social/
emotional skills needed to en-
sure their success at school and
beyond. It focuses on efficient
use of data to guide decisions for
improving schools.
The program has the blessing
of the Pennsylvania Department
of Education (PDE) as a part of
its Least Restrictive Environ-
ment, a programthat has been in
existence for years. Deborah
Popson, the districts special
education director, utilized this
programin a prior school district
before being employed at
Wyoming Area.
The pilot program at Wyom-
ing Area is a proactive approach
to discipline that promotes ap-
propriate student behavior and
increased learning. It has been in
place at the elementary level and
in the middle school, grades kin-
dergarten through eighth, ac-
cording to Popson. The goal is to
expand it to the upper grades,
one grade at a time adding ninth
grade next year.
The SWPBS program is rec-
ommended by PDE for all
schools to put into place, said
Popson. It may be a mandated
program in the future.
Teachers at Wyoming Area
believe the program has had a
positive effect on student behav-
ior and respect. Disciplinary in-
fractions have decreased since
the program has begun. As part
of the program, when a student is
recognized for doing something
positive, they are handed a re-
ward ticket. That ticket can then
be redeemed for prize.
The program was initially
funded by a grant, but that has
ended.
We are hoping to do some
fundraisers or elicit community
support to help fund the pro-
gram, said Popson. PTOs have
also been helpful.
I think for the first year we
did a good job of getting prizes
that were geared towards the in-
terests of our students, said
Ashley Artiz, a faculty member
and Middle School advisor.
The students are excited to be
rewarded for their positive be-
havior and to have it be recog-
nized is important to them. We
started asking students their in-
put on different prizes that they
would be interested in for our
school store that we have run-
ning for the program.
Aritz believes the program is
working and has seen a positive
change in the majority of stu-
dents. They look forward to
helping, being recognized for
their achievements, and being
told that they are the reason the
program is such a success, she
said.
There is a mixed reaction to
the program but I do feel that is,
inlarge part, due tothe fact that it
is in its first year in existence,
said Ryan Kennedy, the other
Middle School faculty member
and advisor of the program.
Once this becomes part of
Wyoming Areas culture, it
should be a very successful pro-
gram. We are still working the
kinks out. The overall concept of
the idea of the program has been
a success.

The Pittston Area baseball teamdefeat-
ed Coughlin 6-4 on Thursday by playing
mostly small ball and letting the Crusader
defense make several bad throws.
The win moves the Patriots (7-5) to
within a half-game behind the Crusaders
(8-5) for the top spot in the Wyoming Val-
ley Conference Division 1 East. The two
teams split the regular season series.
The Patriots played Nanticoke, 2-9, go-
ing in, yesterday. That game was not com-
pleted in time for the Sunday Dispatch
deadline.
Check the Times Leader today or time-
sleader.com to see how PA did.
If the Patriots won that means PA and
Coughlin are tied for first place with two
games left this week on Monday and
Wednesday. PA is at Redeemer Monday
and at Crestwood Wednesday. Coughlin
has Hazleton and Nanticoke, both on the
road.
Hazleton Area also remains in the hunt
at 7-6. They play Redeemer on Wednes-
day
Pittston Area used small ball to its ad-
vantage against Coughlin. The Patriots
put six of their seven lead-off batters on
base.
They moved runners along often with
bunt or slap hits and stolen bases, forcing
a sloppy Coughlin defense to mishandle
the ball and allow runners to advance.
I think we applied pressure, winning
pitcher Chuck Bressler told the Times
Leader. They threwsome balls away and
we applied some pressure.
Leading the Patriots were Jordan
Houseman and Evan Hahn with two-hit
performances.
Houseman gave the Patriots the lead
with a two-RBI single in the second, and a
Tyler Loftus double in the third brought
home two runs.
Valley West 4
Wyoming Area 2
Tommy Alexander gave up just one hit
over six innings and struck out seven as
Valley West (11-1) held off a late rally for
its 10th straight win.
Alexander added a solo home run at the
plate and Joe Pechulis doubled twice and
drove in the other three runs. Matt Zielen
picked up the save for the Spartans, who
clinched the Division I West title on
Thursday with a win at Berwick.
Adam Romanowski went the distance
for the Warriors, striking out six.
Granteed, Klus and Mapes had WAs
three hits.
Wyoming Area 7
Dallas 2
Erik Walkoviak iced the game with a
three-run triple in the sixth inning for the
Warriors (9-4). Walkoviak finished with
three hits and three RBI.
Dylan Maloney struck out eight in a
complete-game win.
Maloney, Chubka, and Grove had two
hits each and Granteed had an RBI.
Home Monday
The Warriors regular season final is to-
morrow at home versus Berwick. Not a
lot to play for in that one, though there is
an outside chance WA could improve
their seed in the AAA playoffs. The play-
offs are open. All 15 teams are in.
As of Friday the Warriors were seeded
thirdbehindValleyView(10-2) andNorth
Pocono (10-1).
PA was sixth as of Friday.

The way the girls softball
schedule fell, a huge game is set
up for tomorrowin West Pittston
between Wyoming Area and
Berwick.
Wyoming Area, 9-4, has a 1/2
game lead over Berwick, 8-4.
The Warriors gained first place
with a four-game winning streak
including two 1-run wins this
week over Valley west and Dal-
las
Berwick beat WA 1-0 in Ber-
wick on April 9 with a run in the
bottom of the ninth.
First-year coach Stephanie
Griffin said the team has im-
proved its scoring since then,
though hitting with runners in
scoringpositionis a bit of a prob-
lem. Its still kind of a weak-
ness, she said. But weve im-
proved. Our scoring is up.
Griffin said as a rookie coach
she wasnt sure what toexpect. I
thought we could have a winning
season, she said, but they did a
little better than I expected.
If the Lady Warriors do clinch
this week, it will be the first
WVC title for the program since
1991.
Theyre pretty excited about
it, Griffin said. They are
pumped for the opportunity.
The Warriors will be either
third or fourth in the open, 15-
team D-2 AAA playoffs.
WA has just the one game to-
morrow left and Berwick has
two.
If Berwick were to beat WA
tomorrow they would have to

n Thursday night under
the lights at Tunkhan-
nock 100 minutes of
soccer could not produce a
game-winner, but the 2-2 tie be-
tween Wyoming Area and Tunk-
hannock did produce a division
winner.
By overcoming a 2-0 half time
deficit with two second half
goals and then holding off the
Lady Tigers in two overtimes,
the Wyoming Area Lady War-
riors clinched the Wyoming Val-
ley Conference Division 4
Championship, only the second
WVCtitle of any kind in the pro-
grams history and the first since
1997.
WAfinished10-2-1. Tunkhan-
nock is 8-2-2 with one game to
play.
Meanwhile, the Pittston Area
Lady Patriots clinched the first
WVCtitle of any kind in the his-
tory of the PA program when
they defeated Wyoming Semina-
ry 8-3 on
Wednesday to
clinchthe WVC
Division 3 title.
On Thursday
The Lady Patri-
ots finished
10-3 in the regu-
lar season when they beat
Meyers 7-0.
PA coach Nicole Tieso said
her teammet its own high expec-
tations. In the preseason, Tieso
said, we set a goal to win our di-
vision, and our girls have worked
hard everyday to achieve our
goal. Im so proud of this team
and what they have achieved.
This is one of the happiest mo-
ments in my soccer career, as a
coach and player. This is such a
wonderful and determined team.
Its an honor to be able to coach
them.
What they achieved this sea-
sonsofar is somethingthat many
of us have tried to accomplish
when we played yet could not do.
This title is a proud and exciting
moment for anyone who ever put
on a Pittston Area soccer jersey.
Being the division champions
for the first time is a great ac-
complishment for the program,
school, and team. I cant wait to
see what the future brings. I
know they will all continue to
work hard and strive for suc-
cess.
Alot of the credit for PAs suc-
cess has to go to
freshman Allie
Barber. Her
goal-scoring is
astonishing.
Hat tricks are
getting to be,
well, old hat.
She scored nine of the teams 15
goals in the two games last week,
with a hat trick against Meyers
and a double hat trick against
Sem.
Allie is very quick and has
great ball control, Tieso said.
She is hard working, deter-
mined, and talented. Shes a spe-
cial player, a natural goal scorer.
Barber has 25 goals in the
teams last six games, an average
of a little over four per game. She
has 37 goals and three assists on
the season for 77 points.
At Wyoming Area, first-year
coach Mike Sololas was sur-
prised to learn his team this year
won the programs first WVC ti-
tle of any kind since 97.
Wow. Unbelievable, he said.
My goal when I got hired was to
simply improve the program. I
guess that was accomplished,
right? I am thrilled that this
group of girls has been able to
accomplish what they have, be-
coming one of the best teams in
Wyoming Area Soccer history.
Well enjoy it this weekend and
were back to work Monday to
work for the playoffs. Im glad it
happened to this group of girls.
They are the hardest working

team Ive ever coached and de-
serve it.
We were down 2-0 at half-
time and the girls never put their
head down, the second half was
the best 40minutes of soccer Ive
seen them play. Heres some-
thing else, I think these girls
were motivated by Gary L, the
riverside senior battling cancer.
At the beginning of the game my
assistant told them his story and
decided to put a band of tape
around every players shin-guard
that said keep fighting, Gary. I
truly believe he inspired the girls
and we are dedicating the playoff
run to him.
Valerie Bott and Jenn Bone
scored the two second half goals
for the Lady Warriors on Thurs-
day. Bones goal, which wound
up clinching the division title,
came with just five minutes left
in regulation.
The defense heldoff the Tigers
in the second half to produce the
tie. Chiavacci had 10 saves.
The Lady Warriors also de-
feated MMI Prep last week. Ha-
bibah Njiaju scored her first goal
of the season and Jenn Bone her
11th.
The 10-team District 2 play-
offs begin later t6his week.

Old Forge broke a three-game
losing streak by scoring a sea-
son-high 10 runs in a 10-0 win
over Carbondale in a Lackawan-
na League Division II game on
Friday afternoon at the Miles
Street Community Park in Old
Forge.
The Blue Devils mustered on-
ly five hits but took advantage of
seven walks in the five-inning
victory.
Vicki Lee provided the big
base-knock with a two run dou-
ble in the first inning as Old
Forge (3-9) scored six times to
take the early lead.
Lauren Carey, KimRegan, To-
ri Tansley and Michelle Giaco-
metti all provided run-scoring
singles for the Blue Devils to
back the pitching of winner Sam
Talerico.
Talerico pitched five innings
of two-hit ball without issuing a
walk to record her first career
shutout. The junior righty also
struck out one in the victory.
OF 0, Valley View 6
Old Forge managed just two
hits both by Taylor Nemetz in
a 6-0 loss to Valley View in a
Lackawanna League Division II
game on Thursday afternoon in
Archbald.
Nemetz singled in the first and
fourth innings for the Blue Dev-
ils but in both instances was
stranded on the base paths.
Valley View scored one in the
top of the first after putting three
hits together, and two unearned
runs in the second to take a 3-0
lead. The Cougars then added
three insurance runs in the fifth.
Nemetz was charged with the
loss, scattering nine hits and
three walks in five innings.
Playoff Positioning
Old Forges struggles this sea-
son have themnear the bottomof
the District 2 Class 1A bracket.
The Blue Devils (3-9) are cur-
rently the seventh-seed in the
eight-team tournament. If Old
Forge remained in that position
they would travel to current two-
seed Mt. View(6-5) in the open-
ing round on May 24.
Northwest (9-1) has earned the
top seed in the tournament. Old
Forge upset the Lady Rangers in
the semis last year on its way to
the district title. The Blue Devils
would not have to face North-
west until the championship
game if they were to reach the fi-
nal.
Blue Ridge (5-6), Susquehan-
na (4-7), Freeland MMI (3-6),
Wyoming Seminary (3-7), and
Forest City (1-11) are the other
teams in the tournament.
The semis will be held May 29
with the title game set for May
31. The first round and semifinal
games will be played at the home
site of the higher seed. The

Steve Mascaro blasted two
home runs Old Forges first
two of the season in leading the
Blue Devils to a 10-2 win over
Carbondale on Friday afternoon
in the completion of a suspended
Lackawanna League Division II
game at Pagnotti Park.
Mascaro hit his first home on
Monday - a three-run shot in the
first inning when Old Forge
(8-4) scored five runs to take an
early lead before the rains came
to suspend the game in the top of
the second inning.
The sophomore catcher then
hit a two-run bomb in the bottom
of the sixth on Friday as the Blue
Devils added four runs to take an
eight-run lead into the final
frame.
Mascaro finished with three
hits and five RBI for Old Forge
to back winning pitcher Ian Ne-
metz who took over on Friday for
Derek Drasba who started the
game on Monday.
Nemetz scattered six hits and
four walks over six innings of
work while striking out seven in
allowing just one run.
Mike Vieira added an RBI
double among his two hits, and
Dave Argust chipped in with an
RBI single for the Blue Devils.
OF 1, Valley View 2
Old Forge was on the wrong
end of a pitchers duel in a 2-1
loss to Valley View on Thursday
afternoon in Archbald in a game
for first-place in Division II of
the Lackawanna League.
The Blue Devils took a 1-0
lead in the top of the third when
Steve Mascaro singled home
Matt Mancuso who had singled
to lead off the inning. The two
singles were the only Old Forge
hits against Cougars starter John
Kranick.
Valley View(10-2) knotted the
game in the bottom half of the
third inning with an unearned
run before scoring a run in the
bottom of the seventh off of Old
Forge lefty David Chromey for
the victory.
Chromey went the distance for
the Blue Devils, scattering seven
hits and just two walks. The Old
Forge junior also put his team in
position to take a lead in the top
of the fifth after advancing to
second on a play in which he laid
down a bunt which was fielded
and thrown away.
Chromey moved to third on a
sacrifice by Ian Nemetz but got
no further after Kranick retired
Mancuso and Dave Argust to
end the inning.
Old Forge (7-4) also had a
chance in the top of the seventh
after a lead-off walk to Mike
Vieira. But a sacrifice bunt by
Anthony Trotta forced Vieira at
second, and Kranick again re-
tired the next two Old Forge hit-
ters.
Playoff Positioning
The loss put Old Forge (8-4)
behind Lackawanna Trail (8-3)
in the race for the top seed in the
District 2 Class 1A playoff race.
The Blue Devils beat the Lions
last year in the title game.
Blue Ridge (6-6) and Wyom-
ing Seminary (5-5) are tied for
the third seed, followed by Free-
land MMI (3-7), Forest City
(3-8), and Susquehanna (3-9).
The D2 Class 1A tournament
will begin on May 23 with an
opening round game and contin-
ue on May 25 with a semifinal
contest. Both games will be
played at the home site of the
higher-seeded team.
The title game will take place
at a neutral site on May 30.

Nick Gushka turned an unas-
sisted double play and Musto
tagged out a runner trying to

save.

by the Meyers lefthander as they
could only manage three hits on
the day.
Nick Gushka slammed a triple
to right center and added a single
as teammate
Tyler Daugherty delivered a
single. Ryan Kasalavage was the
tough luck loser.

Grenadiers and walked one. He
was relieved by Ryan Kasalav-
age and Corey Lescavage who
kept the shut out intact.
Nick Gushka, Tyler Daugher-
ty and Lescavage all made nice
defensive plays in the infield.
Carter Kusakavitch in his first
start behind the plate did a tre-
mendous job by throwing out a
base runner and making a play
on a foul ball.
Daugherty had two singles,
Lescavage had a double and a
single, Dominick Forlenza and
Kasalavage had RBI hits.

When I sit back and think
about my tenure with the
Sunday Dispatch, I thought I
had written about everyone
who shaped my life as it per-
tains to the great outdoors.
Ive shared stories of my
youth including the fishing
trips on the Susquehanna
River with my brother and
close friends.
I know Ive written stories
about the traditional trout
season opener and our trips
to the Mehoopany Creek
with my father, grandfather
and uncle.
Many of my articles in-
cluded my daughters and
their experiences in the hunt-
ing and fishing world.
Myphotoalbums are filled
with pictures of my dad and
the game we returned home
with week after week. I dont
look at all like I did forty
years ago; but thats another
story.
A trip through my photos
include teenage fishing trips
to Canada with high school
and college buddies and fog-
gy morning photos of river
banks taken on the opening
day of duck season.
They all make me smile.
Some photos make me
daydream as my thoughts
turn to family members and
friends that are no longer
with us; but perhaps the sad-
dest realization of all is that
one of the most important
people in my life now and
back then is nowhere to be
found in my photos.
I am of course talking
about my mother.
There are nopictures of her
standing with me next to my
trophies.
She isnt inanyof the snap-
shots sitting on the back of
the truck gate proudly show-
ing off our limits of rabbits
and grouse.
Her face doesnt appear in
any of the photos where we
hold up stringers full of our
daily catch before heading
home.
She hasnt been thanked at
all for her support through-
out the years; but I am going
to change all of that right
now.
I have many reasons to
thank her but for now well
stick to the outdoor stuff.
My mom, Patricia Jacobs,
always started our mornings
out with a hot breakfast. She
would get up before our
alarms went off to make a hot
breakfast for us and help
pack our lunches.
She would wish us good
luck, give us a kiss, and
watch as her husband and
sons headed out for their ad-
venture.
Whats important to re-
member is that she didnt
grow up in a hunting or fish-
ing family so she had to learn
everythingabout the lifestyle
including the terminology.
She would say things like
catch the big ones, bag a big
buck and more important,
come home safe and sound.
I never quite appreciated
her like I do now. She still
gets excited for us when we
harvest a turkey or deer and
thats just down right cute at
this stage of the game.
She is truly the support
system behind our sporting
adventures.
She would always greet us
with a smile when she heard
our car pull up. She would
help us carry in our dirty
clothes and lunch bags; but
she drewthe line at our guns.
She would never carry in
one of those. We were in
charge of cleaning the game;
but she would bag them for
the freezer. My mom had to
learn howto cook wild game
and fish as well.
There were three of us in
the hunting party; my father,
my brother and I. That meant
three complete sets of
clothes to clean and dry,
three thermoses to wash, and
three hungry mouths to feed
at the end of the day. She
would take care of us by
making a big pot of chicken
soup when we caught a cold
because we had been out in
the elements.
My momwas like the foot-
ball team doctor, trainer,
laundry service, and cheer
leader all wrapped into one
big smile.
I dedicate this article to my
mother and all of the mothers
who support their family
sportsmen.
They should be included in
the photos, the toasts and the
high fives. They are more a
part of the hunt or fishingtrip
than we give them credit for.
Mom, thank you from the
bottom of my heart.
Happy Mothers Day!
Dont Give Up on the
Turkey Season
Im hearing it all these
days. Some people are happy
about the 2012 spring gob-
bler season and others are
confused and disappointed.
The happy hunters are
showing off their trophies
while the unsuccessful frus-
trated hunters are coming up
with excuses.
Most of them are blaming
the early spring and unsea-
sonable weather. They claim
that the entire matingprocess
is way ahead of schedule and
the gobblers arent interested
in mating anymore. Well I
hate to burst their bubbles
but the facts speak for them-
selves.
Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission officials report that
there is still plenty of time to
harvest a gobbler.
Mary Jo Casalena is the
Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission Wild Turkey Biolo-
gist and has been closely
studying their nesting habits.
Our three years of radio-te-
lemetry data show that hen
turkeys did not begin incu-
bating nests any earlier this
year than the previous two
years, even though we expe-
rienced a warm, dry early
spring said Mary Jo Casale-
na. Thats because nestingis
triggered more by photope-
riod (amount of daylight)
than weather. So, that warm
spell we experienced in
March was just a bit too early
for most hens to begin laying
eggs.
Hen turkeys wait until they
lay a complete clutch before
they begin the 28 days of in-
cubation.
This ensures the entire
clutch hatches within a 24-
hour period. Also, hens read-
ily abandon nests during
egg-laying if they are dis-
turbed, so it makes sense not
to incubate until shes sure of
her nest location.
Weve been monitoring
when radioed hens begin in-
cubating their clutches, and
comparing the dates to data
collected back in the 1950s
and 1960s across the state to
determine if Pennsylvania
hens are now nesting earlier,
and they arent, Casalena
said. The average date of
nest incubation remains
around the first week of May.
That means the gobblers are
still very vulnerable to call-
ing.
There is even more good
news for Pennsylvania tur-
key hunters.
Remember that beginning
tomorrow, Monday May 14,
you will be permitted to hunt
from one-half hour before
sunrise to one-half hour after
sunset.
The expanded hunting
hours will continue through
the last day of the season,
which is Thursday, May 31.
Good Luck if youre heading
out and be safe.
