Lets start with The Twins.
Why not? Ive told the story of
meeting them about a thousand
times.
It was the fall semester of
2010. As usual, I took roll on
the first day. On the second day,
I did the same in a different
class and when this young lady
raised her hand, I said, I bet
Ill be calling you the wrong
name because theres a girl in
my Monday section who looks
a lot like you.
Oh, she said, you mean
my twin sister.
And thats how I became
acquainted with Cassidy and
Stephanie.
At first I was a bit skeptical. I
wondered if this was the same
girl playing a trick.
But Stephanie wasnt kidding
and during the next two years I
spent as much time counseling
her and Cassidy as I did teach-
ing them. Ed, one or the other
would begin, can I make an
appointment to talk about my
future?
Didnt we just do that yes-
terday? Id kid before adding,
Of course.
One thing I learned quickly
about The Twins was they des-
perately wanted to be seen as
individuals, which turned out to
be rather easy. They are as
un-alike as they can be. And
thats a good thing. It means
their parents afforded them the
space to be themselves.
How un-alike are they? Well,
at Thursday nights Luzerne
County Community College
commencement, Cassidy was
awarded two associates de-
grees, both earned in just two
years, which is almost impos-
sible. And Stephanie wasnt
even there to pick up her de-
gree. Shes visiting relatives in
California, and most likely
hoping to get discovered.
Heres one way The Twins
are alike: they are dynamic,
interesting, intelligent young
women with bright futures
ahead.
I tell my students the best
thing about my job as a college
professor is getting a front row
seat for their unfolding lives.
Commencement marks the last
act I get to see up close.
We had more journalism
grads than usual this year and
dozens of others in the Class of
2012 have taken a course or two
with me. I get to know some
better than others but each
brings memories.
Justin, for example. Justin is
an atheist and an arguer, which
made for some interesting con-
versations, mostly him demand-
ing empirical proof of Gods
existence and me saying Jus-
tins mere presence in my life
was proof enough.
That never convinced him,
but winning the love of Trisha
should have. Until he met
Trisha I never knew Justin had
dimples or could blush.
Shes a Godsend, Justin. Admit
it.
The two of them are off to
Temple University. All they
want to do is earn a decent
living and raise a family. I pray
the God Justin does not believe
in smiles on them. And Im
certain the God Justin does not
believe in will.
Professors cannot talk about
God in a public institution. Not
in class, anyway. But if students
bring up the topic in private, I
am a willing participant. Enter
Liz, another 2012 grad. Not
long after I met her, I found her
reading the book Blue like
Jazz and from that moment
Liz and I had a bond. The book
is about a young mans struggle
with his Christian faith. I had
read it because my daughter
had given it to me.
Every student leaves an im-
pression but, with apologies to
Meghan and Keith and Tommy
and Matt and Melanie and the
others, I will mention just one
more: Jonathan.
Jonathan told me last week
he never thought he was smart
until I told him he was. But
when I did, he believed it. He
believed it so much that he
started getting As in his classes
and dreaming big dreams. One
of those was to attend St. Johns
University in New York City.
Thats a tall order for a commu-
nity college grad, economically,
yes, but especially academical-
ly.
But Jonathan is smart, re-
member? And so he has been
accepted at St. Johns and starts
classes in the fall.
On Fridays, I always tell
students theres an assignment
and if they dont do it they will
fail. Its this: whatever you do
for fun this weekend, dont die
doing it. In a paper in which
Jonathan wrote about where he
would be 25 years into the
future, he had himself dying on
the streets of New York, the
victim of a medical experiment
gone awry. As his life slips
away, in a semi-conscious state,
he remembers the words of a
college professor from 25 years
early. Only in his delirium, the
words come back to him like
this: whenever you die, dont
die doing it. And in that mo-
ment, he realizes people dont
die; they are eternal.
I like Jonathans version bet-
ter.

hey were soldiers hon-
oring soldiers.
More than 500 Amer-
ican flags were placed on the
graves of fallen comrades on
Wednesday night in the two
Dupont cemeteries Our Lady
of Sorrows and Sacred Heart
of Jesus by about 35 volun-
teers from the Veterans of For-
eign Wars Post 4909, Ameri-
can Legion Post 657, AM-
VETS Post 189 and the newly
created Sons of AMVETS
post.
The volunteers were prepar-
ing the cemetery for Memorial
Day on Monday, the national
holiday honoring veterans
who died in war.
The flags were donated
by the Luzerne
County Of-
fice of
Veteran Affairs.
Today, our fellow veterans
andveteransupporters came to
the cemeteries where great
American veterans are laid to
rest, saidGerardGurnari, past
district commander AM-
VETS. We placed the flags in
the markers in preparation for
the Memorial Day event.
Memorial Day festivities
will begin with two memorial
services beginningat 8:30a.m.
at the Polish National Cemete-
ry and at Sacred Heart of Jesus
Cemetery Chapel at 9:30
a.m. All veterans
and veteran sup-
porters planning
to attend the me-
morial services
will meet at 8 a.m.
at the Dupont V.F.W
on Main Street. The
posts will also pay trib-
ute to fallen veterans
with a rifle salute at the
Sacred Heart cemetery
flag pole.
Well have a rifle sa-
lute and sounding of taps in
remembrance of all those
who made the supreme
sacrifice in defense of
our great nation and our
fellow comrades in
arms, Gurnari
said.
This
years prin-
cipal
speaker is
Colonel Carl
J. Wein-
schenk, Jr.,
retired com-
mandant of the
Gino J. Merli
Veterans
Center, Scranton. Weinschenk
previously served as Deputy
Administrator/Institutional
Business Manager for the Vet-
erans Center from 1993 until
2002 at which time he was ap-
pointed to the position of com-
mandant.
The parade will be held at
10:30 a.m.
Im honoring my fallen
comrades and my country,
said Bernie McDonnell, who
was a combat engineer for the
82nd Airborne from 1979 to
1983. Were paying respect.
Jon Vargo, who is a son of
AMVETSmember Paul Vargo
who recently died, said the
Sons of AMVETS are looking
for new members.
If youre a son, a grandson,
a nephew, wed like to have you
as a member, Vargo said.
Were a support group, but we
need to build up our member-
ship
DavidL. Burrier of Scranton
is a member of the VFW Post.
This is a yearly ritual of re-
spect, he said. Were deco-
rating the graves to honor the
fallen soldiers.
After the volunteers fin-
ished placing flags on the
graves, a larger American Flag
and a black POW/MIA flag
were raised on the large flag-
pole atop Sacred Heart Ceme-
tery. The crew stood at atten-
tion and saluted as the flag was
raised.
Our entire nation owes

She remembered the kid
with the smelly feet.
Janet Serino, 59, of Harding,
the new assistant superintend-
ent of the Wyoming Area
School District, said a bus
driver came to her office when
she was a princi-
pal many years
ago and told her
Ronalds feet
sink.
Ronald was a
little guy with a
great smile, but
he was wearing
furry boots and
no socks, Serino
said.
And his feet
stunk.
Serino called
the students
mother, but the mother seemed
disinterested.
So, Serino said she did what
she had to do.
On my lunch break, I went
to the store and bought him
two pair of socks and some
foot powder, she said. Then
I got a bucket of soapy water
and I washed Ronalds feet.
A little TLC is all Ronald
needed, she said. The same for
all other students, as well.
If he was the kid that was
having problems in class, he
would be chastised even more
because of his feet, Serino
said. This was a little boy
who I knew struggled and he
really needed some attention.
The next day when
Serino walked into her
office there was a
little stuffed dog sit-
ting on her desk with
a sign around its neck
that said, Love, Ro-
nald.
As hed walk down
the hall, hed lift up
his pants and show me
his new socks, she
added.
Ronald made an
impact on Serino.
I dont know where
Ronald is today and I am not
certain if Ronald will remem-
ber me, but I will always re-
member Ronald.
Serino, the first female
central office administrator in
the history of the Wyoming
Area, relayed the story her

The Wyoming Area School
District is nearing a $29.2 mil-
lion budget that includes a 3.57
percent tax hike in Luzerne
County. The school board voted
on the proposed final budget on
Tuesday night and will vote on it
a final time after a $400,000 hole
is plugged.
The millage rate in Luzerne
County (Exeter, Exeter Town-
ship, West Pittston, West Wyom-
ing, Wyoming) will go from
13.0799 to13.5500. Amill is a $1
tax on each $1,000 of assessed
property value. In Wyoming
County (Exeter Township) the
millage rate will go from
71.7295 to 73.6110.
The budget includes a 2.62
percent tax increase for district
residents in Wyoming County.
Taxpayer George Race, of
Exeter, told the board it had sev-
eral good ideas to save money,
such as laying off part-time em-
ployees and closing some ele-
mentary schools, but every-
thing seems to be off the table.
I dont want to pay for one ex-
tra square foot of space we dont
need and I dont want to pay for
one extra part-timer that we
dont need, Race said. If we
can get rid of people and get rid
of space, we should do it
Board President Frank Casa-
rella said the board understands
taxpayer frustration but is trying
to have the least bit of impact on
students and staff.
We live in a small communi-
ty. And in this community, there
is a lot of friends andfamily, Ca-
sarella said. And its kind of
hard to turn around and say,
Hey, guess what? Youre gone.
But, he said, the tough deci-
sions will be made if they are
warranted.
District business manager
Tom Melone said that from De-
cember to May, the administra-
tion and board has reduced the
operating deficit from $1.3 mil-
lion to $405,000.
Ive been instructed to look at
the current spending plan, and
find places to cut, Melone said.
The proposed budget carries a
tax increase in the range of $54
to $84, depending on assessed
property value in Luzerne Coun-
ty. Taxes would increase from
between$30to$131inWyoming
County.
The spending plan is
$29,287,600, but revenues only
total $28,881, 828. Thus, the def-
icit.
We understand that we have
some real serious work to do
within the next month to adopt a
final budget, Casarella said.
Were getting to crunch time.
Hard decisions are going to have
to be made.
At a previous meeting, the
idea of eliminating junior varsity
sports, was proposed. The board
didnt act on the proposal, wait-
ing to see what other districts
will do.
If everyone gets rid of the
program, it wouldnt make sense
for us to keep it, Casarella said.
He said the board thought six
other school districts were elim-
inating the programs, but it turn-
ed out to be false.
The information that came to
this board is that there are no oth-
er districts making the decision
at this time, Casarella said.
Also, the board decided to
keepthe JohnF. Kennedyandthe
Sarah J. Dymond Elementary
Schools open for the 2012-2013
school year. Their closure has
been debated.
This innowaylimits our abil-
ity to reconsider closing (the
schools) in subsequent years,
said Casarella.
He said the board has bought
some time inkeepingthe schools
open.

When Patrick Tracy went to
Wilkes after graduating from
Pittston Area in 1985, he spent
more time in pool rooms than in
classrooms.
That didnt sit
well withhis father,
Mike, who was
paying the bills.
Mike pulled Pa-
trick out of Wilkes
and gave him four
options. I didnt
think hed take the
fourth one, Mike
said
But Patrick did.
He joined the Ma-
rines.
Almost 30 years later, Patrick,
who noted his 45th birthday yes-
terday, is still a Marine with tours
of Iraq and Afghanistan under
his belt and a Bronze Star for
bravery during combat. Hes a
Sergeant Major in the 1st Battal-
ion 9th Marines at Camp Le-
jeune, North Carolina.
And hes more than made up
for his failed year at Wilkes. He
just might be the only Bronze
Star winner with a masters de-
gree in creative
writing.
Like my father
said, I did do more
pool shooting than
studying during
my year at Wilkes.
I lacked the disci-
pline and drive to
live up to my po-
tential. The Ma-
rines sort of fixed
all that, Tracy
said.
Stationed at the
University of Colorado for Offi-
cer Candidates training from
2000-2003, he finished what he
started at Wilkes in 1985 and

FACTS OF

Brought to you as a paid public service by
the Law Ofces of Dominick P. Pannunzio,

By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
has ruled that a government agency may not
provide employees with free bottled water
when safe and drinkable water is available
from water fountains at their work sites.
Providing bottled water when safe and
drinkable tap water is available would serve
no purpose other than accommodating
employees personal tastes - a purpose
that is outside permissible expenditures of
appropriated funds.

A recent Nevada Supreme Court ruling puts
the burden of proof on public offcials to

The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled in

Younger friends of Jon
McHale, who died Monday at
age 68, might not know why he
was known as Jumpin Jon.
The answer is right here on the
front page of a Dispatch in 1959
which pictures McHale jumping
over a teammate toscore a touch-
down for the St. Johns High
School football team.
McHale died Monday at home
not longafter workingout at a lo-
cal gym. In shape right to the
end, he was, as friends described
him, hard as a
rock.
Jim Norris was
coached by and
taught by McHale
at Northeast and
Pittston Area high
schools and
coached with and
taught with him at
Pittston Area,
where McHale taught for 35
years. Norris knewMcHale well.
He was a character, Norris
said. A good kind of character.
Norris acknowledged McHale
could come off as gruff at times,
but was a good guy at heart who
really cared about kids. He
knewhowto needle you. Howto
get your goat to get the best out
of you. He was great with kids.
He did a lot behind the scenes
that people dont know about.
For example when Norriss
son, alsoJimNorris, playedfoot-
ball at Lehigh University,
McHale, who was an assistant
football coach when the younger
Norris played at Pittston Area,
would go to Lehigh to watch
Norris play.
I didnt even know he was
there until Id run in to hima few
days later, the elder Norris said.
Hed say I was there and talk
about the game and he knew
more than I did.
McHale took the initiative in a
lot of athletics at PA. He was the
first boys swimcoach and built a
powerhouse in a short time. He
got students involved in the Pres-
idents Council on Physical Fit-
ness and Sports.
Mike Lombardo was one of
those students. He was a great
guy, great coach, great teacher,
child-centered, tough as nails. A
different kind of guy, but a class
act, Lombardo said.
Norris said when his son was a
student at PA he went to school
one day and was surprised to see
signs posted $1 to pie Jim Nor-
ris in the face.
McHale had put them up to
raise money for a cause.
The elder Norris said he talked
to McHales son at the wake.
I told him his father wont be
forgotten, he said. Whenever
the guys I played with get togeth-
er, he always comes up. He en-
joyed life. There are a million
stories.

JOHN (SIC) MCHALE, a key
figure in St. Johns High Schools
25-12 victory over West Pittston
High at Exeter Stadium on Sat-
urday night, is pictured above as
he leaped over the goal line for
the second Johnnies teedee sec-
onds after the second half got
underway. McHale had to leap to
clear the outstretched body of
lineman John Wnuk who had just
tossed a neat block driving a Ram
defender out of bounds. The other
St. Johns performer is Joe Kopc-
za, a back. The leap came after a
15 yard gallop by McHale on the
first play from scrimmage in the
second half. A double lateral on
the kickoff return by the Johnnies
had carried 65 yards. West Pitt-
ston Len Obrzut bettered it in the
first half by returning a St. Johns
kickoff 82 yards for a teedee, the
opening kickoff of the contest.

Pittston, received the Silver
ROTC Medal from the Sons of
the American Revolution (SAR)
at the recent Bison Battalion Ar-
my ROTC Awards Banquet at
the Lewisburg Alliance Church
Social Hall. Awarding the medal
was Tom Gouldy, president of
the Tiadaghton Chapter SAR.

the Bison Battalion and Profes-
sor of Military Science at Buck-
nell University.
The SAR awards the Silver
ROTC Medal to foster the prin-
ciple of the citizen-soldier, ex-
emplified by the Minutemen of
Revolutionary War days. The
award is presented to ROTC ca-
dets who are selected for having
a high degree of merit with re-
spect toleadershipqualities, mil-
itary bearing and general excel-
lence. The medal was authorized
in 1933 and is approved by the
Army, Navy, Marines and Air

be worn on dress uniforms.
Castellino has two sisters: Gi-
na, of Pittsburgh, who just com-
pleted graduate school at Seton
Hill in Greensburg with a Mas-
ters Degree in Art Therapy; and
Marina, who completed her first
year of dental school at Tufts
Dental in Boston. Their grand-
parents are Cataldo and Grace
Castellino, Pittston, and the late
Ed and Jean Ruskus.

Revolution is a leading male lin-
eage society that perpetuates the
ideals of the war for independ-
ence. As a historical, educational
and patriotic, non-profit corpo-
ration, the SAR seeks to main-
tain and expand the meaning of
patriotism, respect for our na-
tional symbols and the value of
American citizenship. Men are

cestor who was loyal to, and ren-
dered active service in, the cause
of American independence. In-
terested individuals should con-
tact Paul Metzger at (570) 435-
0025.
Correction
In a story last week about an
artist painting wreaths on doors
on Main Street the artists name
was misspelled. Her name is
Joanne Raynis. She is from
Plains. We apologize for the er-
ror.
Hard to believe
Bernie Babonis called the Lo-
cal Chatter with a sad note. On
Mothers Day he put a $100 flow-
er basket on his mothers grave at
the St. Johns CemeteryonCedar
Street in Exeter. Afewdays later
he went back to the grave and the
basket had been stolen.

Eric Fino, of Avoca, was re-
cently presented with the 2011
Sons of the American Revolu-
tion Eagle Scout Award at the
Annual Boy Scout Gathering of
Eagles Dinner at The University
of Scranton.
The award program is based
on an application detailing
Scouting experience, academic
achievement and community
service; a 500-word essay on a
patriotic theme; and a four-gen-
eration genealogy chart.

Julie Fino, is a member of Avoca
Boy Scout Troop 316.

reer, he served his troop in lead-
ership positions such as the
Troop Scribe, Patrol Leader, Se-
nior Patrol Leader and Jr. Assist-
ant Scoutmaster.
Fino has currently earned a to-
tal of 40 merit badges, three Ea-
gle Palms and numerous Scout-
ing religious awards.

Award.
Fino plans to attend Penn Col-
lege of Technology in William-
sport to major in Civil Engineer-
ing.
His patriotic essay for the
scholarship was titled The Im-
portance of Pittston Fort in the
Revolutionary War.
After he submitted his SAR
Eagle Scout Scholarship Appli-
cation, his genealogy chart was
reviewed by the officers of the
Northeast Chapter, andit was de-
termined that he has ancestors
who fought in the Revolutionary
War, allowing him to apply for
membership in the Sons of the
American Revolution Organiza-
tion.
In addition to receiving the
distinguished SAR Eagle Scout
Medal, Fino also received a cer-
tificate of recognition, a detailed
family genealogy chart going
back to the Revolutionary War, a

There will be a lot of flags flying today
and tomorrow, but there cant be too
many. We urge everyone to fly Old Glory,
especially those of us who live on the pa-
rade routes in West Wyoming, Wyoming,
Exeter, West Pittston, and Dupont.
This is a good way to honor our de-
ceased veterans.
As the World War II generation dwin-
dles our thoughts turn to Korean and Viet-
nam era veterans, who are aging as well
and our veterans of more modern con-
flicts in the Gulf War and Iraq and Af-
ghanistan.
But today and tomorrow might be a
good time for us to think about those sol-
diers lost in deep history wars, like the
American Revolution which touched this
place at the Battle of Wyoming.
Whoknows muchof anythingabout the
War of 1812? Want to learn about it? Get
the book The Civil War of 1812: Amer-
ican Citizens, British Subjects, Irish Re-
bels, & Indian Allies by Alan Taylor,
published 2010 by Knopf.
Ever heard of the War of Texas Inde-
pendence in1836, the Mexican-American
War of 1846-48 or the Spanish American
War in 1898?
The Texas War gave us the Alamo. The
Mexican War made Brig. Gen. Zachary
Taylor famous enough to become Presi-
dent. The Spanish War is remembered for
the rallying cry Remember the Maine
and future president Theodore Roosevelt
and his Rough Riders taking San Juan
Hill.
Of course those wars were more than
just the rallying cries or the famous gener-
als. They are fascinating pieces of our his-
tory and we might do well to learn about
them. Did you know battles in the Span-
ish-American war were fought in the Phi-
lippines and the treaty to end it was signed
in Paris?
Consider learning something about the
Barbary Wars also known as the Tripol-
itan War of 1801-05 when the United
States fought against pirates fromMoroc-
co, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli who
plagued of the Mediterranean
Those wars led to the emergence of the
United States as a world naval power.
Stories on these wars can be found with
a simple Google search and books on
them can be found at amazon.com or in
libraries.
This week would be a great time to get
started learning about our lesser-known
wars.
Our military history is our history.
Learn about
unknown wars
The true American hero is one who serves his or her country
despite the fact that war is not always an easy decision. Because
they have chosen honor and duty for their country in good times
and in bad. They are the sons and daughters of one nation under
God. Leaving behind their normal routines and we their families
are proud of their commitment.
The colors they stand for: one of red for the blood that was
shed by all veterans; one of white symbolizing hope that our
world will one day know peace; and one of blue for the courage
to serve our nation, when called upon. May Gods speed keep
vigil until you are safely back in Libertys arms once again.
This is my definition of those unsung heroes who fight on
behalf of our American way of life. Those who serve when the
call to duty is during war time, the hardest decision a president
has to face. To the birth of our nation in gaining its independence
from England to our present military campaign in the Middle
East. These brave men and women choose honor and duty as the
ultimate profession of their citizenship, to go when called upon
whether it may be in war time or at peace time.
Our Constitution dictates Judeo-Christian values in standing
up for what is good and true in our countrys way of life, as pro-
fessed by our founding fathers. It has always been duty first in
our nations call to arms, in defending herself against the ene-
mies of these values. Men and women fromall walks of life have
answered this call. It is a matter of pride for a family to have a son
or daughter enlisted within the four branches of the military.
Even when women could not enlist in past military campaigns
they exceeded their dedication behind the scenes. The names of
Molly Pitcher, Betsy Ross and Rosie the Riveter come to mind in
those women who contributed to victories in their own way.
Howmany military personnel have shed their blood in order to
retain liberty and freedom in our countrys name? Many stories
are played out everyday, as a fallen solider comes home in order
to be laid to rest while a grieving family comes to terms, with
their loved ones service and death in a foreign nation.
My family has lost our fair share of blood on foreign soil. My
husbands cousin Jeff De Primo lost his life on May 20, 2008,
while he was deployed in Afghanistan. Jeff was on patrol with
his battalion in a mountainous region, when an IED was set off
and the jeep in which he was riding exploded. His funeral will I
never forget, the church was packed and flowed out into the
neighborhood he grew up. Every time I see his mom, her eyes
still carry the sense of loss and the sense of pride. He completed
his mission over there, he fulfilled his duty with dignity and hon-
or.
The symbol of hope is carried in everyones heart to ensure
peace can be achieved. In some ways we must ask ourselves:
Have we as humanbeings frombothsides sufferedenough, let us
try the dialogue of peace? We need this hope; we crave this hope,
for our children and for our childrens children.
Those who take the oath, when signing up for military service
are taking the extra step in their American citizenship. They are
courageous under the most inhospitable war torn conditions,
their stories are interwoven into the American history books.
My sister Maureen comes to mind. She has served our country
for 25 years, with a tour of duty in Iraq. She has been from one
endof our countrytoanother inmakingsure her militaryperson-
nel is covered with the proper essentials to do their job in defend-
ing our country. Her experiences relay many a soldiers story in
the profiles of their courage.
Amilitaryfamilys greatest wishis tosee their lovedones back
safe and sound. It is our job as citizens to ensure our soldiers are
greeted warmly, admired greatly and honorably respected, when
returning home. NowMemorial Day is here, and nowmore than
ever, it is important to tell a veteran: I amglad you made it home,
and thank you for a job well done.

The local ESPN affiliate runs a commercial for Club 10 the,
ahem, Gentlemens Club. The ad touts the club as the only fully-
nude club in NEPA. A female voice over talks about the clubs
shower stage saying its for you dirty boys while girls giggle in
the background.
Oh, isnt that precious?
This was aired during a Sunday afternoon Phillies game.
Imagine you were in your car listening with your 11 year old
son or daughter on the way to soccer or Little League.
Oh wait, you were with your son or daughter. Too bad.
Bad economics
A teachers union spokesman said teachers pensions are good
for the economy because the retired teachers spend their pension
checks on goods and services. Please tell me this guy never
taught economics.
As an economist hes in Nancy Pelosis class. She famously
said unemployment checks and food stamps are great for the
economy because that money gets spent and is stimulative.
So if they are right why dont we all just be retired or unem-
ployed and get checks? The economy would boom, no?
Not to attack pensioners, most of the pensions were negotiated
in good faith, but people being paid from tax revenue to not work
is not good for the economy. Somebody has to work so we can
take their money to give to other people.
That reminds me of what liberals love to say about auto work-
ers. According to liberals being in the auto workers union was
the American dream. Auto workers loved their jobs.
Really?
Most of them hated it. Why else would they go on strike for a
30-and-out contract which meant a worker who started out of
high school could retire at age 48 with full benefits including
lifetime family health insurance.
Cartwright
Cartwright an Independent? Cartwright a man of the people,
not the party?
Really?
In fact the truth is exactly the opposite.
Cartwright attacked Holden for doing the real independent
thing - voting against Obamas so-called stimulus and Obama-
care. Cartwright is an unabashed left wing Obama follower who,
if he were in office, would have voted right down the party line
for every Obama big government scheme that added $5 trillion
to the deficit and admitted it.
And hes an independent? Give me a break.
Marriage Rights
In 2004 Barack Obama said he didnt believe gay marriage
was a civil right. He was right. Now he says he believes gay peo-
ple should be able to get married.
Notice he didnt say they have the right to marry.
There is no such thing as the right to marry.
If its a right why is a license required to marry? Rights arent
licensed. States require marriage licenses so they can control
who gets married. States wont issue a license for two children to
marry each other, or to an adult and a child, or a brother and
sister and 31 states wont issue licenses to two people of the same
sex.
If it were a ballot initiative here Id vote yes, but people have
no more right to get married than they do to drive a vehicle.

Random notes
You know, I was always scared to give birth to a
baby boy. Not the birthing, although, God knows,
that was Armageddon, but the actual raising of the
lad. A girl? I could figure things out as we went
along. You know, Im actually a girl, so I thought I
had it pretty well covered. And for the most part, I
think I did okay. Not superior, she would tell you,
but okay.
And then, I had a baby boy. He is 17 now and
claims I am much harder on him than his siblings.
He has no idea what that really means. Is he picking
coal? No. Does he have to walk two miles in a flood
to school? No.
Does he have to pay for his own gas? Yes. Does
he have toironhis clothes? Yes. Does he sometimes
have to prepare his own food? Yes.
This does not qualify as hard. It qualifies as
training him to be a good wife some day.
Then, out popped another boy and from the mo-
ment he was born, the comparisons between the
twoamongthemselves never ceases. Its a dailybat-
tle and Imgrowing quite bored with the combat. If
I so much as grab Patrick a paper towel I hear re-
frains of: When I was his age, youd never grabbed
ME a paper towel!
God help me when I actually bring his brother a
Fluffernutter. Theres no way, MOM, you would
ever make me a Fluffernutter and serve it to me in
front of the TV!
Me: Please, tune back into this episode of Real
Life with Maria Heck, because right nowyoure on
a rather extended commercial break, son. Are you
kidding me?
Him: He is so SPOILED!
Me: Seriously? Because two hours ago I made
you a plate of nachos while my nails WERESTILL
WET! Now my manicure looks like Susquehanna
Avenue. And not in the picturesque way, but in the
post-floodway. Just look! andI thrust mypock-
marked Boca Mocha coated nails in front of his
face.
Him: Please. You only made those nachos be-
cause you wanted some. Like, in half the plate. I
noticed.
He had a point.
They were really good, too.
I went to my default angle: Listen Nick, I give
equal parts love and discipline to all of you. ANDI
almost died having you! Dont make me bring up
your birth, with that hubcap-sized head of yours.
Trust me, Ive done my part for you.
Last weekend, my younger son and his homies
had decided that theyve become bored with scoot-
ers, bikes andfishingpoles andhave decidedtohop
onthe air-soft guntraininorder tomaimeachother.
Good fun. They may as well wear signs on their
foreheads that say: Please disfigure me.
I attempted resistance. I employed the old: If
you want to spend all your money on this stupid
weapon that can lead to blood blisters, than by all
meansgo for it.
Him: OK! I still have First Holy Communion
money saved from 6 years ago!
Mestaring: I just asked you to lend me $5.00
for Pilates class and you saidand this is a direct
quote: I am tapped out, honey. Tapped. Out.
Him: Wellhow do you think I saved so much
over the years, Maria? If I lent you money for every
Pilates class and Blue Ribbon ice cream cone-
well then, I d be broke, now wouldnt I?
He had a point.
He did spend his own money on that ludicrous
air-soft gun. My older son was appalled. He claims
I would never allow him to have any type of artil-
lery and I would NEVER shuttle him to get it.
Nicholas, you have a short memory. Recall the
paint ball gun extravaganza of 2006? The dirt bike
parade of 2007-2011? Youve had your run at dan-
ger. Nowknockoff the favoritismrampage. Its get-
ting very old and I am very, very tired.
My daughter just called from Penn State. She
asked me what everyone was doing. I reported that
one brother was at Dunkin Donuts with his friends
and the other was shooting someones eye out
somewhere.
She screeched: OH. MY. GOD! Its 10:30! My
curfew was 10:00! You let them get away with SO
much, Mom! Youd never let me drive past 9:30 and
if I ever asked to play guns with my friends, youd
lock me in my room! Who ARE you, anyway?
Exhausted, thats who I am.
I explained to her that she had the unfortunate
position of being the first-born, and, as such, she
was my guinea pig. Its just the luck of the draw, I
explained. Its just the way the chromosomes crum-
bled.
Heres what I suggest to new parents the world
over: keep score. They think we do anyway; I sug-
gest we actually tally it up. Each kid starts out their
life with, say, 1,000 points, and we deduct a point
for each stupid thing they do over the years.
Deduct 50 points immediately if you almost died
giving birth to them. This way, when theyve all re-
ached adulthood and were sitting around the
Thanksgiving table comparing notes, well have
tangible evidence that we didnt play favorites.
They will all have reached zero.
As I was contemplating this scenario, I was still
on the phone with my daughter and she was still
ranting. Shes explaining that when she was at Dun-
kin Donuts with HERfriends, I would drive slowly
by to make sure she was actually there. She also
adds that not only dont I check-up on the comings
and goings of her brothers, but I finish almost all
sentences with the phrase: Has anyone seen Nick
or Patrick today? She asks if I realize how irre-
sponsible andhaphazardIve become inmyparent-
ing.
And I ask her if she realizes her score is now at
minus 50.

I know were not going to
close a school this year, Casa-
rella said. And if we can get
away without doing that, it gives
us another year to take a look at
where our student population is.
And howdo we realign to get the
maximum use out of our facili-
ties?
Personnel, by far, is the dis-
tricts biggest expense, at $13.5
million. This includes teacher
wages via contracts, long-term
substitutes, administration, cler-
ical staff, bus drivers, crossing
guard, aides and custodians.
Benefits which include
healthcare, dental, vision, life in-
surance, retirement and tuition
reimbursement will cost the
district $6,281,840, a drop of
about $243,000 from the initial
budget proposed at the begin-
ning of the year.
The district uses the Northeast
Pennsylvania Health Trust for its
healthcare and has budgeted a
10.3 percent increase for the
2012-2013 year. The trust is a
consortium of area districts
formed in 1999 to use collective
buying power to lower insurance
rates.
Professional andtechnical ser-
vices which include the Lu-
zerne Intermediate Unit, com-
puter support, public relations
and security costs $2,071,300,
a $65,000 reduction.
In other business:
Janet Serino, the districts
former principal of curriculum,
was sworn in as assistant super-
intendent.
WA budget

first day on the new job.
I always tell our teachers:
You have an opportunity to
leave a legacy. Our students
remember the best and they
remember the worst. They dont
remember the mediocre. How
do you want to be remem-
bered?
Serinos career in education
dates back to the early 1970s.
Serino received a Bachelor of
Science degree in elementary
education/early childhood edu-
cation from College Miser-
icordia in Dallas Township and
a Master of Science degree in
school leadership from Mary-
wood University in Scranton.
In her new position, Serino
earns upwards of $100,000, a
far cry from $4,800 yearly
salary she made in her fist
full-time teaching job in 1973.
Her career started in the
Wyoming Area School District
as a summer school instructor
and substitute teacher. In 1979,
she started teaching grades 7
and 8 at Sacred Heart of Jesus
School in Dupont. She served
as the schools principal from
1992 to 2001. When she moved
to the Wyoming Area School
District in 2001, she served as
an elementary principal, the
district elementary principal
and the district principal of
curriculum. I liked the hugs I
was getting around the knees
from the little kids, she said.
They would take your hand.
And sometimes they would
show you the way when you
couldnt show them the way.
As assistant superintendent,
her primary roles deal with
federal programs, grant writing
and overseeing the curriculum.

Im still doing some revising
and some historical research on
the screenplay and collaborating
witha friendwhois a screenwrit-
er. Hopefully I can find an agent
who believes in my story and
wants to help me tell it, he said.
Tracys interest in writing and
earned a bachelors degree in En-
glish.
In 2004, he went to Iraq where
he kept a journal which turned
into the book Street Fight in
Iraq: What Its Really Like Over
There a first-hand account of
day-to-day life in a combat zone
as a Marine Gunnery Sergeant.
I was proud of the book, but I
also realized that if I ever wanted
to be taken seriously as a writer I
needed to finish my degree and
really learn the ins and outs of
not just telling stories but the in-
dustry as a whole, he said
Withthat thought inmind, pur-
sued a masters degree at Nation-
al University in San Diego and
finishedjust intime toshipout to
Afghanistan a year ago.
His masters thesis was a
screen play called Fightin
Dan about the life and career of
Dan Daly, the only enlisted Ma-
rine to ever receive the Medal of
Honor on two separate occasions
and the only man in military his-
tory to be nominated for a third
one.
books wasnt somethinghe came
to later in life.
I have always been interested
in writing and Im a pretty vora-
cious reader. I started reading a
book a week when my momtook
me to the Pittston Library when I
was seven years old. Ive read at
least one book a week every
week of my life since then with
the exception of boot camp, he
said.
So thats about 55-100 books
a year for 38 years. Ive always
wanted to have someone be en-
tertained by my writing in the
same way that I have been enter-
tained and educated all my life
by reading books.
Tracy and his wife, Janet, have
two daughters, Sonia, who lives
and works in Seattle; and Da-
nielle, a junior at San Francisco
State.

During these past weeks, HBO televised two nights of program-
ming, part 1 and part 2 entitled The Weight of the Nation.
This televisedprogramis the centerpiece of the campaign. Bring-
ing together the nations leading research institutions, THE
WEIGHT OF THE NATION is a presentation of HBO and the In-
stitute of Medicine (IOM), in association with the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of
Health (NIH), and in partnership with the Michael & Susan Dell
Foundation and Kaiser Permanente. http://theweightofthena-
tion.hbo.com.
It was alarmingtosee andhear that one-thirdof Americans are now
obese.
Using the Body Mass Index, that equated to a 30 or higher.
If you dont know how to calculate your BMI, visit this website
http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/.
It takes about 30 seconds.
Next, the broadcast discussed the incidence of obesity among chil-
dren. It has risen from 5 to 17 percent in the past 30 years. Those
percentages can even be higher among ethnic minorities, low- in-
come and rural populations.
There is no easy solution to this problem.
The broadcast went onto introducing key statements like, we
dont crave broccoli, we eat foods that our most profitable.
As a mom, the statement which struck me the hardest was that our
children born after 2000 have a one in three chance of developing the
disease diabetes if the incidence of obesity doesnt change.
What to do?
First, find out what your BMI is. Although its only a calculated
number it is a good guide for your own awareness. If you feel that you
need to make some changes take a look at these recommendations.
Maybe one might seem like a good place to start.
Involve the whole family. Everyone needs to learn healthful hab-
its.
Increase your familys physical activity. Schedule a family walk
instead of watching T.V. Garden, play ball, jump rope!
Reduce the amount of television and /or computer games for the
entire family. Replace the time with a family activity.
Set a good example, eat more fruits and vegetables.
Discourage eating meals or snacks while watching T.V.
Try not to use food to punish or reward your child.
Penn State Extension is willing to offer healthful recipes and guid-
ance for boosting the amounts of fruits and vegetables you and your
family eat.
Call our office at 1-888-825-1701 for more information. Mean-
while, try this recipe as a snack to boost your vegetables. Serve it at
your Memorial Day picnic or family gathering.

ings Bob Koslosky.

1966 46 Years Ago
The Veterans of Foreign War in Du-
ryea sent out a request that local resi-
dents display the American flag during
the Memorial Day holiday, reminding
everyone that young men sacrificed
their lives in Korea and World War II
and were fighting in Vietnam.
Army Pfc. Casimir L. Chernouskas,
of Pittston, was assigned to the 39th
Engineer Battalion in Vietnam. A gradu-
ate of Pittston High School, Casimir
entered the Army in 1965 and completed
training at Fort Jackson, SC.
He was stationed at Battalion Head-
quarters in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam.
Cam Ranh Air Base served as a United
States Air Force tactical fighter base, the
first in South Vietnam to base the F-4C
Phantom II tactical fighter-bomber. To
learn more about the 39th Engineer
Battalion go to www.39thengrbn.com.
On Saturday nights while editors and
employees of the Sunday Dispatch busi-
ly prepared the next days edition, it was
the custom for someone to call the
weather bureau at the Avoca airport to
get Sundays forecast.
The fun started when everyone
pitched in to come up with a clever
rhyme for the weather banner, which
would appear in the upper right hand
corner of the front page.
On Sunday May 29, the following
rhyme appeared:
Fair and cool
weather today
and just the same
on Memorial Day
Pittston Homemakers Mary Hadley,
Anna Kelly, Mary Fitzpatrick and
Mary Lonser worked with the United
Fund to establish its new Homemaker
Service.
The agency provided training to wom-
en who would then manage a household
for a family experiencing an emergency,
such as a mother hospitalized with no
friends or relatives available to help with
housework and children. The home-
makers would at times be required to
work long hours.
1976 36 Years Ago
Michael Cotter, of West Pittston,
brought a production of his play Coal-
town Breaker to St. Roccos Church.
The performance was held to benefit the
Coal Miner Statue Fund sponsored by
the Pittston Horizons 76 Committee.
In addition to Cotter as author and
director, Joseph Mullarkey served as
technical coordinator, Jim Frushon, of
Pittston, musical director, Susan Cad-
den, stage manager and assistant to the
director.
The play was chosen the official
Pennsylvania Bicentennial Play and
toured the state under a grant from the
Bicentennial Commission Council of
the Arts. Most recently, the play was
highlighted in Anthracite An Anthol-
ogy of Pennsylvania Coal Region Plays
written by Penn State Professor Dr.
Philip Mosley.
Members of the West Pittston Bicen-
tennial Committee, Mrs. Carlton
Stauffer, Mrs. Thomas R. Davis, Jr.,
Mrs. John C. Williams, Clayton Kin-
sey, James Melberger and Aaron
Hastie, placed 69 commemorative
plaques on borough homes designating
them to be over 100 years old.
Matt LoPresto and Carlo Saporito,
of Pittston, were tennis doubles partners
for only a year, but in 1976, the unseed-
ed duo won the Class B Doubles Cham-
pionship at the Indoor Tennis Club in
Wilkes-Barre, taking down the top seed-
ed team of Tom Tensley and Ray
Whalen.
In February of 1976, an earthquake
measuring 7.5 rocked Guatemala in
what was called the worst natural disas-
ter in the history of Central America.
One of the first calls Disaster Relief
Specialist Eugene Prinz made was to
Leo Valenti, president of the board of
Mar-Val Industries in Exeter.
Prinz had become familiar with Mar-
Val and Valenti during the Agnes Flood
and requested the company provide all
the modular buildings necessary for
hospitals, housing and schools in the
ravaged country. Valenti and Prinz set a
plan in motion to construct a plant at the
disaster site.
The quakes epicenter was located
near the town of Los Amates, in the
eastern part of the Motagua Fault. Over
23,000 people died, 80,000 were injured
and many thousands were left homeless.
1986 26 Years Ago
On September 18, 1918, Joseph E.
Motiska, of Dupont, was reported mis-
sing in action at the Battle of Argonne
Forest in France during World War I. He
was 21 years old.
The Purple Heart is given to those
wounded or in memory of those killed
in action, but one had never been given
in memory of Pvt. Motiska.
Upon learning of that fact, Steve Lu-
kasik, a nephew and local photographer,
contacted Sgt. Bilder, commander of the
Coleman Krause Military Order of the
Purple Heart and enlisted Dispatch edi-
tor Ed Ackerman to write a letter to
begin the process of securing the medal
for the surviving family members.
At 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 24, 1986,
68 years after Motiska died on the bat-
tlefield, his sister, Mrs. Mary Lukasik,
of Dupont, was presented the Purple
Heart Medal in honor of her brother by
Congressman Paul Kanjorski.
He was survived by another sister
Veronica Ziobro, of West Pittston, and
brothers, Stephen and William.
Kim Ferraro, Michele Malosh,
Chris Draus, William Yaple, Joseph
Turkos, Laurie Burdett and Tony Dix-
on, members of the Pittston Area Senior
High Telecommunications Club, re-
ceived a first-place broadcasting award
from the Professional News Media As-
sociation of NE Pennsylvania. The stu-
dents were judged on creativity, original-
ity, sound and picture quality.
Wyoming Area students Joseph Jef-
fery and Thomas Kolessar participated
in the National Science Olympiad. Jef-
fery received the Olympiad medal for
excellence in physics and Kolessar re-
ceived the medal for excellence in
chemistry.
The first recorded Science Olympiad
was held on Saturday, November 23,
1974 at St. Andrews Presbyterian Col-
lege in Laurinburg, North Carolina. Dr.
Donald Barnes and Dr. David Wetmore
were the originators of this event.
The program has expanded over the
years with 60 teams present in each
division at the United States National
Competition.
As director of the Luzerne County
Bureau of Veterans Affairs, Arthur A.
Bartolai arranged for the distribution of
more than 50,000 flags and 2,352
bronze markers at 350 cemeteries in the
county in honor of Memorial Day.
Born in Pittston Township to Isidor
and Georgia Bernardi Bartolai and a
Pittston High School graduate, Bartolai
was himself a disabled veteran and con-
sidered the 50,000 plus military veterans
in the county his family.
The bureau also dedicated time to
sprucing up abandoned graveyards in
the county, including the Cooper Ceme-
tery for Civil War Veterans in Port Blan-
chard, The Melanie Chapel, a Revolu-
tionary War Cemetery in Pittston, and
Mosier Cemetery for Revolutionary War
veterans in Duryea.
Answer
Joe LaTorre, proprietor of LaTorres
Recreation, knew his customers wanted
detailed information on American and
National League game play each day.
With three years of planning, the Main
Street Smoke Shop unveiled its new
scoreboard.
Johnny Day, the official scorer,
changed information as it was received
via Western Union ticker.
A small sideboard showed league
team standings.
And Im proud to be an American,
where at least I know Im free. And I
wont forget the men who died, who gave
that right to me.

With the win, the tournaments
No. 2 seed Wyoming Area (11-4)
advances to the final against No.

over No. 12seedHolyRedeemer.
That game will be played
Wednesday at a site and time to
be determined. No. 3 seeded
North Poconos (14-1) season
comes to close.
Its definitely exciting, said
Holtz of her game-winning hit.
I knew we had some speed on
the bases and my idea was just to
try and get the ball in play.
With one out in bottom of the
frame, Holtz had Turner on sec-
ond who had drawn a walk and
advanced on Emily Wolfgangs
single and Wolfgang on first.
Holtzs curving shot dropped in
front of North Poconos Olivia
Heffinger, who got to the ball as
Turner was rounding third. How-
ever, the throw to home never
made it there as Turner slid in
well ahead of the play before be-
ing mobbed by herteammates.
Once I got to second I knew
that I was just going to run as fast
as I could and try and get to
home andwinthis game, Turner

After winning tight games on
Tuesday to advance to the second
round of the District 2 3A Base-
ball Championship Tournament,
Pittston area and Wyoming Area
lost equally tight games on
Thursday in the quarterfinals and
were eliminated.
In their first round game the
Patriots beat Honesdale 7-5 in
Hughestown after being behind
5-1 in the third inning. Sopho-
more pitcher Matt Mott, who had
pitched only two innings all sea-
son, came through with 4 2/3 in-
nings of 2-hit, scoreless relief
with two strikeouts and no walks
and was the winning pitcher.
Josh Razvillas and Anthony
Schwab hit back-to-back RBI tri-
ples in the bottom of the sixth to
put PA ahead.
John Kielbasa had two hits and
anRBI, JordanHousemanwas 2-
for-2 with a run scored and Hahn

wick right fielder Brandon Fen-
stermacher threw out the poten-
tial tyingrunat theplateinthetop
of the seventh.
Trailing 3-1 in the seventh, Pa-
triots put runners on second and
thirdwithone out. Abloopsingle

home one run. Whenright fielder
Fenstermacher briefly bobbled
the ball the second PA runner
tried to score but was thrown out
at the plate. PAPaul Zaffuto, who
made the call to send the runner
accepted the blame.
I preached to them all year
that one little mistake, one little
hesitation on their end could cost
us the game, he told the Times
Leader. And today it was on me.
I couldnt be prouder of their ef-
fort. They played a perfect game
today. I was the one that made the
mistake. These kids, they did
nothing to deserve to lose this
game.
The sixth-seeded Patriots
closed out their season at 9-8.
Berwick starting pitcher Clay
DeNoia went 6 and 1/3 and PAs

plete game.

For Mike Lombardo watching
his daughters Catherine and
Kristen win medals as part of the
Pittston Area girls 4 x 800 relay
team at the District 2 Track and
Field Championships on May 16
didnt bring back memories of
the district record he helped set
in the same event with the Pitt-
ston Area team in 1982.
He didnt need a reminder. He
thinks about the record, which
turned 30 this season, every year
at this time, anyway.
Were like the Miami Dol-
phins, he said referring to play-
ers from the 1972 NFL Miami
team who drink a champagne
toast every football season when
their record as the only unbeaten
NFL team survives. The cham-
pagne bottle is ready.
The Pittston Area 4 x 800 re-
cord is one of six District 2 3A
boys records held by Pittston Ar-
ea which survived another sea-
son. That means of the 18 track
and field events one-third of the
records belong to Pittston Area
and four of them are three dec-
ades old. Of the other 12 records
five were set inthe past three sea-
sons, which is what would be ex-
pected given it is conceded that
athletes today are generally big-
ger, stronger and faster than ath-
letes 30 years ago.
So what was up with Pittston
Area track in the 1980s?
There isnt a ready explana-
tion, but three of the athletes
from that era and one of the
coaches who were interviewed
describe a perfect storm of stu-
dents-athletes and coaches who
came together during the Golden
Age of Pittston Area track and
field from 1980 to 85. During
those seasons the PA boys track
and field program won 86 con-
secutive regular season Wyom-
ingValleyConference meets and
six consecutive District 2 cham-
pionships and set the four endur-
ing records in the 4 x 800 and 4 x
400 relays and the individual 400
and 3200 runs. In addition to
those records, PAs Lance Kern
set a high jump record in 1984 at
6-9" which lasted until 2002.
The 1982 4 x 400 team was
Mike Lombardo, Jay Loughney,
Joe Brannan and Bruce Maran-
cik. Asked why he thinks the re-
cords still stand Lombardo said,
Thats hard to answer and we
talk about it a lot. And you have
to remember, too, that the tracks
were cinder and not as fast to-
day.
Lombardo said the coaching
and the will of the athletes were
the keys. A story about Tommy
Doran, the 3200 record holder il-
lustrates that will. Ive never
seen anybody work as hard as
Tommy Doran. I remember only
once that he got beat and he got
so angry he ran home five miles.
He had the biggest heart and one
of the toughest.
Joe Costello, who was the
head coach then, agreed. They
didnt mind if they lost to some-
one better or lost with a personal
best time, but if they got upset
they took it personally. They
were an exceptional group. They
had the will to win, worked hard,
set goals, accomplished goals.
And they were academic stu-
dents. We were at a point where
all we had to do was make sure
theywere at the meet ontime and
dressed appropriately. I cant tell
how much I respected those
kids.
Jay Loughney said the coach-
ing and the programs reputation
were important, I put it on the
coaches. Calabrese fostered a ju-
nior high program and that suc-
cess bred success. They were
charismatic inspiring coaches.
They would set individual goals
for everybody on the team not
just the stars. When we were
there to be on track team was a
good thing. It attracted the best
athletes. Everybody wanted to
be part of it. The coaches created
an environment where people
thrive. I ran cross country at
Bucknell where they had an
eight-year winning streak. The
similarities were both teams had
charismatic coaches and athletes
who were good students.
Loughney lives in Collegeville
with his wife Leigh and three
school age athletic kids, Riley,
Ayden and Declan, who has the
third grade record in the fitness
mile at his school.
Al Michalec was on the 19814
x 400 record team and he recalls
the record run. Our goal was to
break the record that Valley West
held. We were a little over confi-
dent. During the hand-offs we
were showboating with the ba-
ton. Fortunately, we still broke
the record.
He also credits the coaches.
We had the desire to succeed.
Track was a vehicle to earn a
bachelors degree. That may
have had something to do with it.
And I believe a lot of it had to do
with the coaches. All of them
were great motivators, and they
always keep us guessing. Coach-
es Joe Costello and Joe Orlando
keep us believing that we would
break the state record if we
worked hard.
Michalec and the 4 x 400 team
did lower their district record
time by five seconds at the state
meet a week later and finished
fifth in a high-powered field.
West Chester set a state record
that day that lasted until 1997.
The coaches during that era
were Joe Costello, Joe Orlando,
Ray Calabrese, Leo Monteforte,
Mike Orlando and Lenny Peso-
tine.
Lombardosaidtheir impact on
the athletes lives was about
more than track. When youre
tired and think you cant do it,
push through that last lap. Thats
a life lesson.
The two PA records not set in
the Golden Age are owned by
John Dessoye in the 100 and 200
in 1995 and 1996. Dessoye was
just different.
He won the state champion-
ships in the100 and 200. He won
the state championshipinthe100
in 10.46, which was .02 seconds
off the state record held by
Olympic Gold medalist Leroy
Burell.

Fun Walk/Run goes off Saturday
The relative strength of the
WVCsoccer divisions was on
display Monday as the Pitt-
ston Area and Wyoming Area
teams lost to Division 1 pow-
ers Dallas and Coughlin and
were eliminated fromthe Dis-
trict 2 AAA playoffs.
PA went into the game 10-3
as champions of Division 3
and lost to Division 1 cham-
pion Dallas, 7-2.
Meanwhile Wyoming Area,
10-2-1and Division 4 champs,
lost to Coughlin, the D-1 sec-
ond place team also 10-2-1,
9-0.
PA stayed with the Lady
Mountaineers for a half as the
trailed 2-1 after 40 minutes.
But Dallas erupted for five
goals in the second half.
Allie Barber scored both PA
goals. The first, unassisted,
tiedthe game1-1with32:24to
play in the opening half.
In the second she scored off
an assist fromNicolette Brad-
shaw that pulled the Patriots
within 3-2 with 26:07 remain-
ing in the game.
But Dallas scored four in
that last 25 minutes.
Ashley Dunbar had three
goals and two-assists for Dal-
las.
The Lady Warriors were
outshot 26-6 in their 9-0 loss
to the Ladt Crusaders.
Coughlin is a very talented
team, said WA coach Mike
Sokolas.
No adjustment I made
helped at all as the game went
on. I could have put all 11peo-
ple in the penalty box and still
lost that game somehow. Just
goes to show the strength of
divisions.
But Sokolas who is only 20
and in his first season as a
head coach really enjoyed the
season and the team.
I cant be upset. It was a
great season, especially for
my first year with the pro-
gram, and being 20 years old.
I never imagined being this
successful in season one.
"I owe it to the girls though,
thats for sure. I can promise
one thing, well make some
changes this summer, work
hard in the fall and come back
for some revenge in districts. I
have one heckof a senior class
next season.

Chris Talipski went 3-for-3
with three RBI and three runs
scored to lead five-time defend-
ing champion Old Forge to a
15-0, three-inning win over Blue
Ridge in the District 2 Class 1A
semifinals on Friday afternoon
at Pagnotti Park.
The victory puts the Blue
Devils into the District 2 title
game for the sixth consecutive
season. The game will be held
on Wednesday at a time and
place to be determined. Old
Forge will face the winner of
Lackawanna Trail who beat
Wyoming Sem18-12 on Friday.
Talipski singled in the first in-
ning after Dave Argust was hit
by a pitch and scored along
with Argust on a Steve Masca-
ro double for a 2-0 lead. Derek
Drasba then singled home War-
ren Welsh who was running for
Mascaro to give starter Dave
Chromey all the support he
would need.
Chromey allowed just an in-
field single in three innings of
work, striking out five while
walking one. The junior lefty al-
so induced three groundball
outs, and got help fromMascaro
who threw out a would-be base
stealer in the second inning.
The Blue Devils tacked on
seven runs in the second, send-
ing 13 men to the plate.
Matt Mansuco began the in-
ning with a single and gave Old
Forge (11-4) a 10-0 lead with a
three-run double in his second
appearance at the plate in the in-
ning. Talipski singled home
Mancuso to begin the onslaught.
Old Forge then invoked the
Mercy Rule with two outs in the
bottom of the third.
Mike Vieira and Anthony
Trotta each scored on a pinch-hit
double by Warren Welsh and Ta-
lipski doubled in Mancuso and
Argust for the 15-0 final.
Trotta added a two-run double
in the seven-run second inning,
and also reached base all three
times he batted.
Argust scored three runs,
walked twice and was hit by a
pitch as the Blue Devils took ad-
vantage of four hit batters and
four walks as they pounded out
12 hits.

Old Forge responded to a two-
out rally by Susquehanna with a
rally of its own as it outlasted the
Lady Sabers, 6-3, in a District 2
Class1Aplayoff game onThurs-
day afternoon at the Miles Street
Community Park.
Susquehanna tied the game at
3-3 in the top of the fourth but
the Blue Devils scored three
times in the bottom half of the
inning to retake the lead.
Chelsea Cadwalder walked
and Michelle Giacometti reac-
hed on an error to start the bot-
tom of the fourth. After Kelsi
Yesnowski who was running
for Cadwalder was forced out
at third on a fielders choice by
Rhyan Barnic, Lauren Carey
singled home Giacometti.
Barnic would also scored on
the play after a wild throwhome
allowed the sophomore short-
stop to motor in all the way from
first base on the play. Carey
scored two pitches later moving
up a base each time on wild
pitches to give Old Forge (6-9) a
6-3 lead.
Taylor Nemetz retired nine of
the final 10 hitters in keeping
Susquehanna off the boardinthe
final three innings. The sopho-
more lefty scattered four hits,
four walks and allowed just two
earned runs while striking out
two in seven innings of work.
Carey finished with two hits
as did Vicki Lee.
Kim Regan had the only hit
during a three-run second-in-
ning for the Blue Devils that saw
the home team take a 3-0 lead
without scoring an earned run.
Old Forge will travel to top-
seeded Northwest on Tuesday in
a District 2 Class 1A semifinals.
The Blue Devils upset the La-
dy Rangers last year in Shick-
shinny in the semis on the way to
their fourth straight district title.

The Greater Pittston Senior
American Legion baseball team
opens its season on the road ver-
sus Nanticoke in Honey Pot on
Thursday. That will be the first
game on an 18-game, com-
pressed 5-week schedule.
The 15-player roster has seven
Wyoming Area students, seven
post-grad players and one Pitt-
ston Area student, Brett Miller.
Field manager Drew Whyte
said the roster is a little unusual
with the seven post grads, seven
WA players and only one from
PA.
Maloney and Romanowski
will be the one and two or two
and one pitchers. Somewhere we
have to piece together a third
starter.
The heavy post grad situation
with guys like Musto and Now-
icki, should provide some of-
fense.

out 14-0 and made the playoffs,

Happy Memorial Day every-
one! I knowthat this is the week-
end where we are supposed to
honor the people who have gone
before us and I assure you I will
dothat. But it is alsothe weekend
that we should plan to be with
family or friends enjoying life.
For many, this is of course the
unofficial start of summer. Many
barbeques have been pulled out
of storage and many boats have
been cleaned up and prepared to
launch for the first time this year.
Memorial Day Weekend has
always been known as the start of
the boating season. In fact last
week was National Safe Boating
Week. The Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commission has asked
us to remind boaters to practice
safe and responsible boating, al-
ways wear your life jacket, and
be alert while on the water. They
believe that by practicing these
simple steps you can save your
life as well as the lives of the peo-
ple boating with you.
Each year, on average, 700
people die in boating-related ac-
cidents nationwide. Nearly 80
percent of the victims were not
wearing a life jacket. In Pennsyl-
vania, 22 boaters died in 2011 as
a result of recreational boating
accidents and only three of them
were wearing a life jacket at the
time of the accident. The Com-
mission analyzes every accident
and mishap on the water. They
agree that people tend to think of
boating accidents in terms of
collisions or boat wreckage and
that is the most common type of
reportable boating accident in
Pennsylvania, however the acci-
dents where most of the fatalities
occur are the ones where some-
body falls overboard, or is
swamped in a small boat and
then ends up drowning. These
types of accidents are primary
examples where a life jacket can
make all the difference.
I remember the old style of
preservers. Some of them were
the cushions you sit on while
others where hard to wear and
fish with. Life jackets are cer-
tainly more comfortable, conve-
nient and lightweight than ever
before. They come in a variety of
sizes and styles to fit every per-
sonandrecreational opportunity.
Inflatable life jackets are gaining
in popularity because they fit
easily over any clothing, can be
worn as a vest or belt-pack, and
can be another option in addition
to more traditional buoyant life
jackets.
I believe its important to re-
mind boaters to practice com-
mon sense and to be aware of
them laws governing the use of
life preservers. These are the ba-
sic requirements set by the Penn-
sylvania Fish and Boat Commis-
sion:
Boats must have a U.S. Coast
Guard approved wearable (Type
I, II, III, or V) life jacket onboard
for each person.
Children 12 years of age and
younger must wear their life
jackets while underway on any
boat 20 feet or less in length and
on all canoes and kayaks.
The regulation requiring man-
datory life jacket use during cold
weather months begin Novem-
ber 1. Boaters must wear a life
jacket on boats less than 16 feet
in length or on any canoe or kay-
ak during the cold weather
months from November 1
through April 30.
There are many other rules
that apply to boating and most of
them reflex back on the use of
common sense. Please dont
drink and operate a boat. Watch
out for obstacles and more im-
portantly stranded swimmers
and buoys. Your goal as boaters
should be to enjoy the waterway
and come home safely.
You Can Fish For Free!
There has been a major push
over the years to get more people
interestedinhuntingandfishing.
The Pennsylvania Game Com-
mission has initiated many new
seasons to encourage people to
take up the sport or just stick
with it. The Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commission also has
its own programs designed to do
the same. Tomorrow, Memorial
Day May 28this one of two days
set aside for fishing fun. Fam-
ilies and friends visiting Penn-
sylvanias popular outdoor spots
this holiday weekend can enjoy a
day of free fishing, thanks to the
Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission (PFBC).
Tomorrow Monday, May 28
marks the first of two free fish-
ing days in the Commonwealth.
The other day is Labor Day,
Monday September 23.Fish For
Free Days allow anyone (resi-
dents and non-residents) to le-
gally fish in Pennsylvania. From
12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on both
days, no fishing license is need-
ed to fish in Pennsylvanias wa-
terways. All other fishing regu-
lations apply. Fish-for-Free
days are a convenient way to in-
troduce friends and family to the
sport of fishing, said PFBCEx-
ecutive Director John Arway.
Many families spend the day at
lakes and parks throughout the
state. Nowthey can try fishing at
no cost. We know that once peo-
ple try it, particularly kids, they
will see that fishing is a great
recreational activity and they
will want todoit more. More in-
formation about Fish-for-Free
Days is available on the PFBC
website at:www./fishand-
boat.com/fishforfree.htm.
Leave the Fawns Alone
Consider this an early remind-
er. I have already started receiv-
ing photos and e-mails about
fawns on the ground. Research
has proven that the majority of
fawns are borninthe last weekof
May and the first two weeks of
June. The can be found in any
woodland or field setting and
sometimes even very close to
residential communities. It is im-
portant to remember that fawns
use a hider strategy when
born; they lay curled motionless
and quiet in the weeds and on the
forest floor. Their spotted coats
provide camouflage, they emit
relatively little scent and they
rarely travel their first few
weeks. The parenting doe leaves
her fawns to forage regularly and
returns periodically to nurse her
hiding fawns. So, it is not unusu-
al to see fawns unaccompanied
by an adult deer in late May or
June. At about a month old,
fawns start traveling with their
parents. Research also shows
about 65 percent of fawns make
it through their first two months.
If you find a fawn you can ad-
mire it fromafar, take photos and
leave it alone. That is the best
strategy for the safety and health
of the animal.
Outdoor Life
Youre invited to join us to-
night at 6:30 for Pennsylvania
Outdoor Life on WNEP. We will
take you on a Hunt of a Life-
time. Youll have to watch to
learnmore. Have a enjoyable and
safe Memorial Day weekend!

The Yatesville 4 successfully defended their title at the
Hazelton Unico Bocce tournament. By winning the title
for third time, the Yatesville 4 have retired the trophy. It
nowrests at the Yatesville Borough building in a place of
honor. This years team members are Ralph Campanella,
Paul Santarelli, Jim Pisano and Jon Campanella. For the
teams three titles there have been six different teamcom-
binations. The following are those teammembers and the
number of titles the team won with them: Ralph Campa-
nella (3), Jon Campanella (3), Paul Santarelli (2), Phil
Bosha (2), Al DeAngelis (1) and JimPisano (1). Congrat-
ulations to the Yatesville 4.
In league play, the formula that worked so well for the
Yatesville 4 is following suit in the league. With Ralph
and Jon Campanella now teaming with Harold Kiesinger
and Tony Russo, Roberts Repair remains as the only un-
defeated team in the league. Rumor has it that they are
already being measured for their league championship
jackets.

LEGAL NOTICE
COMBINED NOTICE
NOTICE TO PUBLIC OF FINDING OF
NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO
REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS
PUBLICATION DATE:
May 27, 2012
GRANTEE NAME:
City of Pittston
ADDRESS:
City Hall
35 Broad Street
Pittston, PA 18640
TELEPHONE:
570-654-4601
This notice shall satisfy the above-cited
two separate but related procedural notifi-
cation requirements for activities to be
undertaken by the City of Pittston.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
On or about June 12, 2012, the City of
Pittston will request that the Department
of Community and Economic Development
(DCED) release Small Communities Pro-
gram funds for the following assessed
project.
Mini-Park Development
The City previously demolished a deterio-
rated structure at 28-30 S. Main Street
that threatened to collapse when the City
tried to stabilize the facade following dem-
olition of the adjoining structure. The
Redevelopment Authority acquired the site
and the adjoining site. The City will con-
vert the vacant lots into a mini-park to pro-
vide a quiet passive space in the midst of
downtown. These improvements serve
the residents of the City, and the project is
based on citywide benefit.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT
The City of Pittston has been determined
that the projects will have no significant
effect on the human environment. There-
fore, an Environmental Impact Statement
under the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. Addi-
tional project information is contained in
the Environmental Review Record (ERR)
on file at the above listed address and is
available for public examination and copy-
ing, upon request, Monday through Friday
during normal working hours.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency may sub-
mit written comments on the ERR to Ger-
ard Mullarkey, City Hall, 35 Broad Street,
Pittston, PA 18640. All comments
received by June 11, 2012, will be consid-
ered by the City of Pittston prior to author-
izing submittal of a request for release of
funds. Comments should specify which
notice they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The City of Pittston certifies to DCED that
Mr. Jason C. Klush, in his capacity as
Mayor, consents to accept the jurisdiction
of the Federal Courts if an action is
brought to enforce responsibilities in rela-
tion to the environmental review process,
and that these responsibilities have been
satisfied. DCED's acceptance of the cer-
tification satisfies its responsibilities under
NEPA and allows the City of Pittston to use
Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF
FUNDS
DCED will accept any objections to its
release of funds and the Citys certification
for a period of fifteen days following the
anticipated submission date or its actual
receipt of the request (whichever is later)
only if they are on one of the following
bases: (a) the certification was not exe-
cuted by the Certifying Officer of the City;
(b) the City has omitted a step or failed to
make a decision or finding required by
HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the
grant recipient or other participants in the
development process have committed
funds, incurred costs or undertaken activ-
ities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58
before approval of a release of funds by
DCED; or (d) another Federal agency act-
ing pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has sub-
mitted a written finding that the project is
unsatisfactory from the standpoint of envi-
ronmental quality. Objections must be
prepared and submitted in accordance
with the required procedures (24 CFR Part
58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to
the Department of Community and Eco-
nomic Development, Office of Community
Development and Housing, 400 North
Street, Commonwealth Keystone Building,
Harrisburg, PA 17120. Potential objectors
should contact DCED to verify the actual
last day of the objection period.
