T
he story goes that during
the height of World War II
when Winston Churchill
was asked to cancel funding for
the arts, he responded, Good
God, no! What do you think
were fghting for?
His words come to mind every
time a fnancially strapped school
district leaps to the budget-
balancing solution of cutting
out art and music. Good God,
no! I want to scream. Havent
you ever heard of Winston
Churchill?
I readily admit my thinking on
this topic is heavily skewed. As
a person who began college as a
fne arts major but, alas, wan-
dered off into other felds, I also
relate to Churchills comment,
When I get to Heaven, I intend
to spend a considerable portion
of my frst million years paint-
ing.
Though I havent touched a
brush or piece of charcoal in de-
cades, theres an artist in me that
likewise could spend a million
years or more at an easel.
But that artist inside is hardly
lying dormant waiting to be freed
by, of all things, death. Rather,
that artist shows up in one form
or another every single day. I
shudder at the thought of living
my life without him.
Now, what some of you may
fnd hard to believe is theres a
similar artist in you as well
even those whove spent their
entire lives proclaiming, I cant
even draw a straight line.
To be human is to be an artist.
Its as simple as that. But dont
take my words for it. Take Pablo
Picassos.
Every child is an artist,
Picasso said. The problem is
how to remain an artist once we
grow up.
That, quite succinctly, is why
art education is so important.
Art speaks to the child-like us,
the playful us, the innocent us
an us that if we arent careful,
will be killed off by the horrible
affication of which Picasso
speaks: growing up.
How could we allow such a
thing to happen?
Rather easily, it would seem.
How ironic that, as education
in our time moves more and
more away from true education
and more and more toward what
can only be described as job
training, weve come up with the
slogan No child left behind.
Really?
Well, when we stop educating
students in the arts, all children
are left behind, and in the saddest
of ways. Job skills may earn us
a living, but art makes us glad
were alive.
In his book The Social
Animal, David Brooks refers
to Karl Poppers distinctions
between clocks and clouds.
Clocks are neat, orderly
systems that can be defned and
evaluated using reductive meth-
odologies. You can take apart a
clock, measure the pieces, and
see how they ft together. Clouds
are irregular, dynamic and
idiosyncratic. Its hard to study a
cloud because they change from
second to second. They can best
be described through narrative,
not numbers.
Are we clocks? Or are we
clouds? That is the question.
If clocks, then by all means
go ahead and cut the arts from
education. Just teach the things
that can be measured with test
scores.
But if were clouds, then
maybe its time to reconsider.
Unlike IQ, which can be
measured, Brooks says, mental
character is more cloudlike,
which cannot. So, maybe the
real question is: how important
is the development of mental
character?
Apparently pretty important at
Wilkes University, I learned last
week, when professor Sharon
Cosgrove invited me to tour the
new art facility recently re-locat-
ed to Bedford Hall on the corner
of South and River streets in
Wilkes-Barre. While Wilkes, my
alma mater, no longer offers fne
arts as a major, I was delighted to
see theres still a commitment to
art and an energy in the new digs
that is uplifting and infectious.
Offered as a minor at Wilkes
within the Integrative Media and
Art Department, the traditional
arts drawing, painting, print-
making, sculpture seem to
be thriving, and not just among
the artsy students. Students
from all sorts of disciplines are
dabbling in art and, from what I
observed during my visit, having
a ball. Some psychology majors
will minor in art, Cosgrove
said, considering careers in art
therapy. Other students just take
an art class as an elective. They
seem drawn (no pun intended)
to it.
What is attracting them, I be-
lieve, is what Picasso and Brooks
are talking about. Were children.
And clouds. And that cannot be
denied.
Art enables us to fnd our-
selves and lose ourselves at the
same time, Thomas Merton
writes. I witnessed Wilkes stu-
dents doing just that in Bedford
Hall last week. And it was some-
thing to behold.
You can see for yourself Fri-
day from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at an
open house at Bedford Hall. The
artist in you wants you to stop
by. Not to mention the kid.

CHERRY BLOSSOM TIME
Above, a scene from the 2012 West Pittston Cherry Blossom Festival. Below, singer Jeanne Zano sings the Star-Spangled Banner.
Festival begins Saturday; Ciampi named parade grand marshal
The company Lou Ciampi Sr. founded
is settling into its new headquarters in
Wyoming. But Ciampis heart will always
belong to his hometown of West Pittston.
Ciampi, 72, founder of Independent
Graphics Inc., was named grand marshal
of the West Pittston Cherry Blossom Fes-
tival Parade scheduled for May 4.
West Pittston has done so much for
me, he said. Ill do anything I can to
help West Pittston out.
The West Pittston Cherry Blossom Fes-
tival, set for Saturday and Sunday, May
4 and 5, is a yearly tradition to honor the
beauty of the cherry blossom trees that
bloom on the Susquehanna river bank. It
includes food, games, crafts, a parade, the
Little Miss Cherry Blossom Pageant and
entertainment, such as West Pittston Idol.
The festival celebrates residents of
Pittston and West Pittston, but the entire
region is invited, said Parade Chairman
Ralph Salerno.
The frst festival in 1971 featured hot
dogs and soda. This years food menu
includes hot dogs, hamburg-
ers, wimpies, clam chowder,
French fries, sausage and
peppers, chicken wings
and the list goes on.
The parade is set
to include local fre
departments and
ambulance units,
Pittston Area and
Wyoming Area
marching bands
and a host of
politicians,
communi-
ty groups
and businesses. The Little Miss Cherry
Blossom contest will be held at 1 p.m. on
Saturday at the festival grounds.
Salerno said the parade will begin
at noon at Cenera Auto Parts,
march down Exeter Avenue,
onto Wyoming Avenue and
down Philadelphia Avenue
to the festival grounds.
Irem Temple Shriners
are bringing everything,
including fve foats, two
bands, their fre truck and
motor corps. Potentate

Greater Pittston Area Regional Compost Facility up and running
Hey gardeners, need
mulch?
Youre in luck.
You can pick some up,
free of charge, if you live
in Dupont, Avoca, Duryea,
Hughestown, Pittston City
or Jenkins Township - thanks
to the Greater Pittston Area
Regional Compost Facility
located on Duponts 33-acre
parcel in the Grimes Indus-
trial Park.
The facility is up and run-
ning for the season, said Du-
pont Council President and
Compost Facility Commit-
tee chairman Stanley Knick.
Knick said the primary
goal of the facility is to re-
duce costs for participating
towns.
Its not here to make
money, he said. Its here to
save money.
Because of the project,
Dupont is taking less waste
to the landfll, which results
in a cost savings for the bor-
ough, Knick said. Landflls
charge about $52 a ton.
This project is really
a win-win for everyone,
Knick said. Its a great ex-
ample of how regionaliza-
tion works.
Knick said there are two
types of mulch available:
one made from ground-up
trees and branches, which
can be used for decorative
landscaping, and a fertile
compost made from grass
clippings and leaves, which
can be used with soil in gar-
dening.
Only municipalities and
approved contractors can
drop off material, but anyone
in the participating munici-
palities can pick it up.
The facility is open from
8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays
and Wednesdays. A nominal
fee is charged if workers
need to load the material.
The facility is fenced and
locked, but mulch from a
large pile in front the facil-
ity can be picked up an any
time, Knick said.
Knick said the massive
grinder is able to process
wood up to 16 inches in di-
ameter, but the facility only
accepts trees and branches
six inches in diameter or
smaller. Awater truck is used
to hose down compost piles
in the summer, helping the
mixture decompose.
The equipment, which
includes the grinder, a pay-
loader, a water truck and
fencing, was funded through
the state Local Share As-
sessment program which
uses revenues from casinos
for community projects. A
$461,000 grant was used and
the facility became opera-
tional last year.

12th:
Teacher Cindy Lynch expressed
the frustration of many Wyoming
Area teachers when she pointed out
to the school board that members
had okayed a large expenditure for
equipment repair but couldnt fnd
a way to settle a contract with the
teachers.
At the school boards regular
meeting on April 23, Lynch said,
Take care of your equipment. We
are your equipment. She added,
I havent gotten a raise in four
years.
Before the meeting, teach-
ers had distributed a fyer with a
large number printed on one side.
The number 1,168 represented the
number of days the Wyoming Area
teachers have been without a con-
tract. In a humorous approach, the
teachers pointed out all the things
that have happened since the last
contract expired. The fyer ended
with the statement, If Apple can
make four different versions of the
iPad in 1,168 days, shouldnt the
Wyoming Area School Board be
able to negotiate one contract?
Tom Melone, Wyoming Areas
fnancial manager, showed the
board an updated budget which
was more favorable than his last
projected budget. The revised bud-
get still predicts a $333,000 short-
fall if taxes are raised to the limit
allowed by the state.
Union President Melissa Dol-
man responded to the budget pre-
sentation by Tom Melone by ask-
ing the board, At what point do
you plan for a teacher contract?
Board member Gil Dominick
was quick to respond, saying
When are you gonna bend?
Dolman replied the union had
proposed a bend at the last negoti-
ating session.
At a previous meeting, represen-
tatives of the teachers union had
been asked by school board mem-
bers to suggest ways the district
could cut expenses. At Tuesdays
meeting, Dolman read a lengthy
list of cost-cutting measures sug-
gested by teachers.
A resident complained about a
possible leak of confdential infor-
mation concerning Superintendent
Ray Bernardis contract. He cited
an article taken from a political
blog. Board member Campenni
also agreed that she deplored pre-
vious leaks fromconfdential meet-
ings.
Board treasurer Frank Casarella
pointed out that the board still
hopes to adopt a budget which does
not call for a tax increase.
Melone said that, without a tax
increase, an additional $535,000
would be added to the shortfall.
The next negotiations between
the school board and the teacher
union will take place on May 1.
The board approved the appoint-
ment of head fall coaches for the
2013 season.
Ray Bernardi asked for a change
to the school schedule in June. He
asked for and received permission
to release students after a half a day
on June 10, 11 and 12. On those
days, Bernardi hopes to have inser-
vice training for teacher, including
a drill on how to respond to an ac-
tive shooter in the building.
The agenda called for accept-
ing bids for football equipment but
Mary Louise Degnan, who serves
as bid chairman for the board, de-
clined to ask for a motion to ap-
prove the bids.
Degnan said she knew nothing
about the bids and had not been in-
volved in any step in the opening
and accepting of them.
Board treasurer Frank Casarella
made the motion to accept the bids.
The motion passed but Degnan,
Carl Yorina, Elizabeth Gober-Man-
gan and Estelle Campenni voted
against accepting the bids.
Dominick announced that the
districts policy regarding the use
of district facilities and the fees
charged would be reviewed in
committee.
Members and the coach of the
districts tennis team attended and
stayed through the long meeting
in the hopes of making a case for
repairing the tennis courts. The
tennis team currently plays all its
games away as its own courts are
in disrepair.
The board was told that the US
Tennis Association is interested
in the lack of facilities and might
be willing to contribute the lions
share of the cost of refurbishing the
courts.

Budget shows $333,000 shortfall if taxes are raised to maximium allowed by law

The Duryea Ambulance has
discontinued service and Avoca
Ambulance will provide continu-
ous coverage to Duryea residents,
according to a release from Duryea
Borough.
Avoca Ambulance has had a re-
gional cooperative agreement with
the Duryea Ambulance Associa-
tion for the past 10 years.
In order to provide reliable cov-
erage to the boroughs of Avoca,
Dupont and Duryea, the Avoca
Ambulance Association has imple-
mented a plan to have paid crew
members on duty available to
respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
Volunteers will continue to assist
when needed and are very active.
The Avoca Ambulance Associa-
tion will begin its annual member-
ship subscription campaign for the
year 2013.
The Avoca Ambulance has hon-
ored Duryea memberships in ef-
fect until May. However, Duryea
residents now must to belong to
the Avoca Ambulance Association.
Membership information will be
sent to all Duryea residents who
wish to have ambulance service.
Membership cost is $30 per house-
hold.
The Avoca Ambulance subscrip-
tion membership program was
developed to maintain fnancial
stability and offer protection to res-
idents. In the event a family mem-
ber requires emergency ambulance
assistance, a paid membership as-
sures that person will not be billed
for any out-of-pocket expenses,
including insurance deductibles,
co-payments and denials.
Payment received from the pa-
tients insurance company will
be considered payment in full.
Without membership protection,
patients will be billed for the en-
tire amount of ambulance service
which can sometimes be hundreds
of dollars.
Any Duryea resident who does
not receive membership subscrip-
tion service information by May
1 is asked to contact Colleen
Velehoski at 457-3605 or Elaine
Blazosek at 457-1955 of the Avoca
Ambulance Association.

ST. MONI CA S CHURCH
Youth group all about reaching out
Michelle Stark, of Wyoming,
knows what its like to need a help-
ing hand. Having a disabled sister
taught her the importance of reach-
ing out to people in need and had
a profound effect on how she leads
her life.
The infuence of Starks sister led
her to become a physical therapist.
She works at the John
Heinz Institute of Re-
habilitation Medicine
in Wilkes-Barre and,
for the past six years,
has been the leader
of the youth group at
St Monicas Parish in
West Wyoming.
According to Fa-
ther Leo McKernan,
the youth group is
about the three Ss
- Spiritual Life, Ser-
vice and Social - all
intertwined together. Starks role
with the group is about service and
social, through her outreach and
community service efforts with
such activities as Bowling for Big
Brothers, visiting the SPCA, a se-
nior prom at Wesley Village and
visits to St Joes Center. Many of
her activities involve helping dis-
abled individuals.
I want to get kids involved with
community service to show them
how important service is, Stark
said.
Her group consists of about 15
teenagers, including her two daugh-
ters, Rachael and Hallie.
I love it; I love being involved
in the community, says Rachael.
I like the feeling I get helping
people, added Gaetano Buonsante,
another member of the group.
The youth group also provides
an opportunity for teens to perform
community service hours for senior
projects, Key Club activities and
confrmation, said Stark.
While Stark leads
the youth group in the
social and service as-
pects, Jerry Bauman is
charged with the spiri-
tual life of the group.
Achance conversation
with Fr. McKernan
led him to discover
Baumans work with
Divine Mercy Youth
Ministry.
Bauman had
worked in Scottsdale,
Arizona and also with a street min-
istry working with gangs and run-a-
ways in Chicago before moving to
the area.
Divine Mercy Youth Ministrys
mission is to help youths to truly
know God through prayer. Bauman
has organized teen prayer hours,
which are held on Wednesday
nights and he is working with other
parish volunteers to build a chapel
in the church basement. He is also
forming a core team of young teen
leaders and college students to help
with the Divine Mercy Youth Min-
istry program.
Father McKernan and Baumans
goal is to encourage families to
spend time together in prayer.
Now, Bauman and Stark work
together to lead the youth group,
each bringing their own skills to the
organization. The group works co-
operatively with other youth groups
at nearby churches. The group has a
busy schedule of retreats, fundrais-
ers and community service projects
scheduled for the spring and sum-
mer months.
For more information on the
youth group, call St. Monicas Par-
ish at 693-1991.
Members of St. Monicas Youth Group are, from left, rst row, Ashley Vikara, Hallie Stark and Isa-
bella Romani. Second row, Blase Erzar, Alyssa Vikara, Andrea Janosky, Rachael Stark, Anneliese

Swim programs offer mix of fun, physical activity, safety
Each year in the United
States an estimated 5,000
children are hospitalized
due to near-drowning. Thou-
sands of people drown annu-
ally in the United States.
Drowning is the leading
cause of death for children
under the age of 5 years.
Learning to swim and be
safe around the water are
survival skills.
The YMCA offers the
SPLASH program out of its
concern for the safety of chil-
dren and because it is a great
way to help children grow in
spirit, mind and body.
SPLASH is brand new
program we are very excited
to start at the Y, said Craig
Lukatch, CEO, Greater
Pittston YMCA.
Our focus is on our chil-
dren and because summer
is just around the corner,
its very important that they
know how to be safe around
the water.
In this program, third-
graders learn basic swim-
ming skills and practice safe-
ty habits while in and around
the water, which results in a
sense of accomplishment, in-
creased self-confdence and
security.
SPLASH is completely
free to families and schools
to have their students par-
ticipate, said Susan Vosik-
Pekala, aquatic director,
Greater Pittston YMCA.
SPLASH will teach basic
water skills, including ba-
sic swim skills, deep water
swimming skills, treading
water and survival foating
Children living in Lu-
zerne, Wyoming and lower
Lackawanna Counties are
eligible for the program and
must provide documentation
proving current grade status.
The frst group of lessons
begins April 29 and space is
limited. Classes will contin-
ue through the summer.
For more information, call
Susan at 655-2255 ext.106.

Cole Winters will be celebrating
his thirteenth birthday in August.
More importantly, Winters will then
become a full-fedged member of
the Jewish community by observing
his Bar Mitzvah, the Jewish right
of passage where a boy becomes a
man.
Traditionally, those celebrating
their bar mitzvah (or bat mitzvah, if
celebrated by a girl) choose a proj-
ect where they give back to the com-
munity as a symbol of adulthood.
However, Winters has already had
a brush with adulthood: his mother,
Colleen Kranson, was diagnosed
with breast cancer in September of
2012.
Less than a month later, on Oc-
tober 8, she underwent a bilateral
mastectomy.
Inspired by his mothers experi-
ence, Winters decided to raise mon-
ey for those suffering from breast
cancer by selling T-shirts and rubber
bracelets.
I wanted to do this project be-
cause of my mother, Winters said.
Its super important to me.
With his mothers recent opera-
tion fresh in his mind, Winters, who
is a seventh-grade honors student
at Wyoming Valley West Middle
School, began the diffcult process
of fundraising: he personally de-
signed a logo, Cancervive (a combi-
nation of the words cancer and sur-
vive), and visited local businesses
in attempt to be sponsored for his
project.
At last successful enough to be-
gin production, Winters began sell-
ing. So far, hes had smooth sailing.
Many are very happy to buy shirts
and bracelets, as it is for such a great
cause, he said. This project is very
important to me because I would
love to help out other cancer patients
in need of treatments.
Kranson said much of Winters
enthusiasm for his project stems
from seeing her experience severe
illness. Watching me go through
cancer treatments has made Cole
want to help others, she said, I am
so thrilled and proud that Cole has
chosen this as his project.
All proceeds from the fundraiser
will be donated to Medical Oncol-
ogy Associates Prescription Fund
and Candys Place, organizations
with many resources for cancer pa-
tients and their families that helps
those who cannot afford cancer
treatments. Winters hopes to raise
enough money to help these orga-
nizations help other cancer patients
deal with the physical, emotional
and fnancial concerns that come
along with this disease.
I am very excited to be selling
these bracelets and t-shirts. Win-
ters said. This being part of my Bar
Mitzvah has made it even more spe-
cial to me, as it is such a special day
in my life. I cant wait to see how
much money I will raise.
If you would like to buy a T-
shirt or bracelet, or donate (cash or
check) to The Cancervive Fund, call
Evan Kranson: 570.814.7190.
Bracelets are $1 and t-shirts are
$14. Or, to donate directly to the
Cancervive Fund, call Jim Malia at
the Wells Fargo Bank: 570.283.5355

MARI A REMEMBERS
Salute! 100 times
On their feet with a glass of wa-
ter or cup of coffee raised in hand,
the Red Hat Ladies of Blooms and
Bubbles toasted Sister Red Hat Jo-
sephine Emma Lazzari on the occa-
sion of her 100th birthday, followed
by the singing of Happy Birthday
and Shes a Jolly Good Red Hat
at Fox Hill Country Club.
The Red Hat Sisters doubled as
reporters and asked questions con-
cerning Lazzaris life, longevity
and outlook. Heres the Josephine
Emma Lazzari story:
I was born in the early 10th cen-
tury onApril 27, 1913, in the city of
Pittston to Sicilian immigrant par-
ents, Ignatius and Theresa Battisti
Emma. The frst bambina of eight
children - fve daughters and three
sons - I was blessed with a loving
heart and a great love of God.
My young life was sad and hard.
Papa died, leaving Mama a young
widow at 36 years of age to raise
our family. We survived on the re-
lief. To help support our family, I
began to work at the age of 11 with
someone elses working papers. My
frst job was at the Alpine Silk Mill
located in what is now the Cooper
Co-op Building as a bobbin girl. I
flled my apron with bobbins and
flled the machines or passed them
out to the workers. My pay for the
week was $7.
At age 14, I began to work in
the General Cigar Factory where
I learned quickly and eventually
became the foor lady. Many years
later while vacationing in Florida, I
was in a group of ladies who were
bragging about the stores and facto-
ries they owned. When they asked
me, I fbbed a little and told them I
owned a cigar factory.
Each day whether it rained,
snowed or the sun shone, walking
to work was a must. Pittston in the
early 1900s had dirt roads, no side-
walks, horse and buggies, hucksters
who went from street to street sell-
ing their wares and downtown had
very few stores. On route to work,
I remember passing Fascianas and
Constintinos, two little stores that
were almost like fve and dime
stores. You could buy everything
in them.
Love found its way into my
heart when meeting a dark, hand-
some man named Vincent Lazzari.
As was the custom, he asked my
mother for my hand in marriage.
My mother, knowing he would
be a good husband and provider,
said yes. We were married in
St.Roccos Church on June 24,
1936. Life was good but especially
great when our son, Cataldo Vinent
Lazzari, was born in 1941. They
were both the loves of my life.
For the next 27 years, we shared
our lives with its ups and downs,
laughing, crying, singing, dancing,
sometimes struggling, but happy.
They were the best years of my life
with Sweety Heart as he called
me. He died at the age of 63 in 1963
and still has my heart.
Life goes on and it was flled
with my son and three sisters who
lived in Pittston, Grace Frushon,
(deceased) Theresa Sagliocola,
(deceased) and Mary Alexander.
God and church have been priori-
ties in my life. Walking each day
to St. John the Evangelist Church
to attend mass, occasionally to do
a little volunteer work and meet-
ing the ladies of the church give me
pleasure. God has given me a beau-
tiful long life. I believe in Ask and
you will receive.
For many years, my residence
was across the street from the
Pittston fre house. Through the
years, I became a good listening ear
and friend to the veteran and young
frefghters. Many cups of coffee
and conversations were shared on
my front porch. They are all special
to me.
I have been asked about life in
the present. I thank God for fairly
good health, ability to walk to my
destinations, ride the bus to Wilkes-
Barre a few days a week, breakfast
at Boscovs, love music and the
ability to still dance the tarantella
and enjoy numerous friends. Food
has never been important to me.
In fact, pasta is a dish I cannot eat.
What kind of an Italian is that? My
daughter-in-law has a name for it.
I have been told that my meat-
balls are great. My secret is frying
before putting them in the sauce.
I promised to give the girls in the
Red Hats my recipe.
Celebrating my 100th birthday
has been like a Polish wedding. I
have been honored and remem-
bered by the St. Joseph Senior So-
cial Club, the members of the Al-
tar and Rosary Society of St. John
the Evangelist Parish Community,
my sister Red Hats of Blooms and
Bubbles of Greater Pittston, the of-
fcials, frefghters and policemen
of Pittston City and, on my birth-
day on April 27, with a family and
friends party. I am very grateful to
all who remembered me.
When all the questions were an-
swered and the frivolity with the
Red Hats came to an end, Josephine
rose and, with arms outstretched
meaning to enfold each of us, she
expressed her gratitude, apprecia-
tion and love. She then folded her
hands, closed her eyes and prayed
The Hail Mary for and with the
Red Hats. The secret of my life is
to love everyone.

Almost 30% of the youth in the
United States, or more than 5.7
million children, are estimated to
be a bully, a target of bullying or
both.
There also appears to be a strong
relationship between childhood
bullying and adult legal and crimi-
nal problems.
Studies show that bullies are
generally physically aggressive,
hot tempered, easily angered and
impulsive.
Children and youth that are bullied
are typically anxious, insecure,
and cautious. They suffer from
low self-esteem and rarely defend
themselves.
Many times children are embar-
rassed to tell their parents or other
adults. They end up being very shy
and afraid to be out-spoken and
stick up for themselves...especially
later in life.
Bullying can cause a problem with
grades and school work. Worse
yet they might want to t in and
become a member of a gang, try
drugs or other illegal activity.
Sometimes parents dont realize it
until the child reaches their teens
and they start to see who they
hang around with or a change in
their attitudes and school work.

OUROPINION
Who will
protect us?
Dave Todd has been appointed the lead
for West Pittston Tomorrow in developing
ideas for the use of open spaces that will
be created if and when fooded homes are
mitigated and demolished by FEMA.
When this happens the resultant lots, by
law, must revert to permanent green spaces
with no development.
One idea is to create community gardens.
Todd said so far he is a committee of
one. Thats why WP Tomorrow will have a
table at the Cherry Blossom Festival to en-
courage volunteers to help get the program
off the ground.
HONOR RAISES AN ISSUE
Speaking of volunteers, the Cherry
Blossom Festival committee selected John
Janczewski as Outstanding Citizen of the
Year. He has been a West Pittston volunteer
frefghter since he graduated from high
school in 1971 and he was the chief for 20
years.
Janczewski said something that ought to
worry us all. When the joined the depart-
ment in 71 at age 18, he estimates he
was one of 25 volunteers around that age.
Today there are but three or four from 18
to 30. The department has a junior program
for volunteers under age 18, but there are
only four enrolled.
What it means is that our fre department
volunteers are aging. And as frefghting
is grueling work, its more suited to the
young. Because it is recognized that fre-
fghting is for the young, in NewYork City,
to use one example, fremen are eligible for
20 and out, meaning they can retire with
full pension benefts after 20 years.
As a result only about fve percent of
NYCs 5,000 frefghters are over age 50.
Janczewski worries that if the current
rate of attrition continues West Pittston will
face a critical shortage of frefghters in the
not too distant future.
And West Pittston is one of the younger
towns demographically in our area, so the
problem is all over.
Its a dilemma. Lives are busier than they
were in 1971. Families are smaller. Young
people are more scarce. And young people
are more transitory and, consequently, less
connected to their hometowns.
What to do?
Growing junior participation cant hurt,
but the concept is not taking off.
Is it time to consider regional fre
departments with more paid professionals
supplemented by volunteers?
As with most things, money is the rub,
but whats the price of safety and lives?
YOUR SPACE
Four grandchildren of Jack and Beverly Severnak of West Wyoming Mia DePasquale, Plains, Benjamin Koleno, Mechaniscburg, Mary
Locascio, Easton, and Joshua Kollar, Mountain Top were at the White House on April 1 for the 135th White House Easter Egg Roll. Tick-
ets were distributed through an online lottery system.
This year, more than 30,000 people from all 50 states visited the South Lawn for games, stories, and of course, the traditional egg roll. In
addition to all the fun and games, the days activities, which included sports courts and cooking demonstrations, helped educate families on
smart ways to incorporate healthy eating and exercise choices into their daily routines, which are key pillars of First Lady Michelle Obamas
Lets Move! campaign. This is the largest public event held at the White House each year.

YOUROPINION
This letter is in response to complaints by a Pittston property
owner at the Pittston City Council meeting on April 17 as reported
on page 7 of the April 21 issue of the Sunday Dispatch.
The frefghter in question did not abandon his post which was
explained to the property owner by me on Feb. 25.
Also, when the property owner arrived on the scene, the fre was
extinguished and overhaul was being performed by both city and
Jenkins Township frefghters.
The frefghters from Pittston and Jenkins work very well together
fghting fre in both communities.
The accusation that the Jenkins frefghters were not taking ac-
tion is false.
James Rooney
Pittston Fire Chief
Pittston fre chief disputes allegations
We live our lives on borrowed time
We work hard and strive
Just to maintain, yet survive
When unspeakable events occur
In our nation, and our souls shaken;
Every citizen instantly responds
With heartfelt anguish and concern
Hand in hand, joined across America
Comfort transcends, so much Love is sent
Hearts are meant to be healed
Yes, our lives may be on borrowed time
But our nation is strong and our people deserving
Of praise and we hold our heads up with pride
We are there for each other
No matter what color, race or creed
No matter how far or near
Generations have laid a strong foundation
And we continue to pave their way
Raise our fallen to heaven with you
Help those injured to become strong
Cradle those frightened and afraid to move on
This is America, We are brave and strong
This writing is dedicated to those affected by
the Boston and Texas tragedies and all those in
previous unfortunate acts against our citizens
home and abroad.

NUTRI TI ON
Play ball!
S
pring is here Yeah! Baseball has offcially
begun for both our minor league, Little
League and, of course, T-ball. Keep nutri-
tion at the top of the list when choosing
team snacks, your childs drink and dinner after the
game.
Being a parent sometimes means taking your
turn to supply snacks when it comes to T-ball.
Often, this snack is given before dinner.
Each child eagerly awaits the sugared brightly-colored or high
sodium, low nutrition snack. If mom or dad shows up with a banana,
its often thumbs down by the team.
If you fnd that your childs pre-dinner snack is not up to your nutri-
tion standard, take a stance.
Volunteer to generate a T-ball team snack list. That way the compe-
tition wont be as stiff and your child gets a bit of nutrition before they
arrive home.
When choosing your childs drink, think about how active he or she
is during the game.
Compare their activity with the total number of calories in the
beverage.
If its a one-hour game, most children wont even burn the calories
consumed in the container, including sports beverages.
The value of sports drinks hasnt been studied in children. Some
may even contain caffeine. If, as a parent, you are concerned about
your childs hydration, use thirst as a guide. Water is best for these
types of activities.
Dinner after the game can also be a true challenge. Planning is a
must to avoid those fast food drive-throughs on the way home.
Take time on the weekend to plan what your family is going to eat
for lunch and dinner for the week.
If the week is too much, start with just three days.
Share your meal plans with the family to fnd out who is going to be
home. Then match easy-to-make dinners with the amount of time you
have when you return home.
Here is one of our family favorites:
Easy Skillet Lasagna
12 pound ground beef
12 cup onion (chopped)
1 can tomato sauce (15 ounce)
1 12 cup water
14 teaspoon garlic powder
14 teaspoon oregano
14 teaspoon basil
3 cups noodles, uncooked, 1/2 inch wide
1 package spinach, frozen, chopped (10 ounce)
1 cup cottage cheese, nonfat or ricotta
12 cup cheese, part-skim mozzarella, shredded
Brown ground beef in a large skillet.
Drain and rinse to remove fat.
Add onion, tomato sauce, water, and spices.
Cover and bring to a boil.
Add noodles.
Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Defrost spinach in the microwave.
Stir spinach into skillet mixture.
Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir mixture.
Spoon cottage cheese on top and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add water if mixture gets too dry.

MOTHER S DAZE
Have a kid? Love a kid
T
heres a vicious disease running rampant in
this country, and it must be eradicated. Its
called humiliate-your-child-itis. Its reached
epidemic proportions and if theres no vaccine
to stop the widespread repercussions, perhaps then, we
can apply a more common sense, over-the-counter ap-
plication called compassion.
Last week, I was forced to grocery shop.
I know.
But everyone in my family was suddenly copping an
attitude about a meal of red beets and soy sauce. Spoiled
brats.
As I was checking-out and whining that Ive turned
into my mother because I flled not one, but two carts
and required bag-boy assistance to navigate myself back
to my vehicle, I overheard a commotion nearby. It was
a father who was loudly and excessively berating his
two children for loading the grocery bags incorrectly.
First of all, children helping with the grocery shop-
ping in any way other than writing something big and
chocolate on the grocery list is as alien a sight to me, as
well, children helping with the grocery shopping.
These children were lovely and well-mannered, as
well as being completely terrifed of their father. He bad-
gered them endlessly regarding their method of loading
the bags and cart.
He spat:Use your brain! Dont you know anything?
He peppered his abusive speech with ripe expletives
as well, which only added to his slime potential in my
eyes.
The poor daughter was in tears and was begging her
father to cease the yelling.
She pleaded: Please stop embarrassing us, Dad.
Were trying our best here.
Which I suppose in his addled brain was code for:
please humiliate us further, because he did.
I was finging my own slice-and-bake cookies and
Cracker Jacks into a bag while delivering to him via pa-
rental telepathic laser beam, a signal which to any full-
formed parent meant: Knock it off, moron!
But he sent me such an evil glare that the hair on my
head, arms and upper lip stood on end.
Thats IT!
I said: Excuse me, sir. Maybe youve had a bad day
or maybe youre just a huge !@#hole. But youre sense-
lessly humiliating your beautiful children here. Why
dont you just apologize to them, and really mean it?
On the way home maybe you can smack yourself in the
head and say, Hey! My kids are a gift! Maybe I should
treat them that way? What do you think?
He turned to me and said: Shut up, lady
Wow.
Savvy comeback, Big Man.
Im shaking in my clogs.
I snapped: No really, you need to
stop.
And I stomped away, as much as a
mother yanking two carts behind her
can stomp, anyway.
Im having a physical reaction to it all.
Is it a control issue with these parents?
An unhappy childhood?
Alost job?
Brain matter missing?
Its beyond my realm of rationale to take a child who
was born loving you completely and tearing away their
self-esteem, pride and self-respect layer by layer until
all you have left is a scared and demoralized adolescent
whos all set-up for future generations of the same be-
havior.
At a recent wrestling meet, I was attempting to re-
cord my sons maneuvers via a newfangled camcorder.
I shouldve hit mute because the entire tape includes
long-running commentary courtesy of the Neanderthal
behind me bellowing harassing comments at either his
son, the coach, the onlookers or God.
The child was mortifed but his obvious discomfort
did nothing to dissuade his father from his onslaught.
I turned calmly. Excuse me, sir? Im sure youre a
lovely man in your off hours, but I cant record my own
kid here because all I hear is your voice plus my own,
inner voice making fun of you. Youre making my ears
bleed. Please, dial it back a notch?
To his credit, he did calm down.
Atad.
You need a license to operate a vehicle, practice medi-
cine, even navigate a boat. You need a permit to own a
weapon and cut hair (not simultaneously).
So why do we make it so damn easy for any clown to
become a parent?
There should be a pre-parenting test and if you dont
answer simple questions appropriately, youre Parents
Permit needs to be revoked.
I beg of you, see yourself through your childs eyes.
You may decide you dont like the view. In fact, it may
disgust you.
Be careful of private or public ridiculing of your chil-
dren.
You never know what columnist may be lurking be-
hind the canned corn.
Tread carefully and remember: bullies are so yester-
day.
Compassion is today.
Maria Jiunta Heck
YOUR OPI NI ON
Poet inspired to pen Aspring fing
Aspecial day on the calendar does bring
an urge to put away winter gear while doing ones
own thing.
More activities seem to crop up for sure,
its exciting to get outside, seeing new plant growth
so pure.
The days are getting longer now,
maybe its time to work the garden, causing sweat on
ones brow.
New growth is evident to see,
fowers are blossoming, with new aromas for you
and me.
Could it get any better at this time of year?
Its hard to say, but right now the sun doesnt sear.
I hope everyone feels the same,
that warm weather is on its direct aim.
Open your windows and let the air in,
because spring has arrived and get ready for sunshine
to begin.

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 8th Ohio District Court of Appeals
ruled that Clevelands curfew ordinance,
which banned people without a permit
from Public Square between 10 p.m. and 5
a.m., violated First Amendment rights.
***
Hawaii has a new law that opens a two-
year window for people who were sexually
abused as children to bring civil lawsuits
against the perpetrator no matter how
long ago it happened.
***
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals in
Manhattan found by a 2-1 margin that
a pharmaceutical sales representative
was simply exercising his right to free
speech while promoting a drug - which
has been offcially approved by the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA), to treat
narcolepsy - as a suitable treatment
for insomnia, along with several other
medical conditions for which it was
not intended. While doctors have the
authority to prescribe medication for
purposes other than a drugs intended
use, drug manufacturers are subject to a
higher level of scrutiny in the way they
promote their products uses, and frms
have had to dole out big settlements to
the Justice Department in recent years for
violating these standards and promoting
off-label use.

You say tomato, they say Bar and Bistro
24 taps, outdoor patio, among
features of new Pittston pub
W
hen construction
workers gutted the
old Bottoms Up Bar
on Spring Street in
March of 2012, an original brick
wall was uncovered. Now those
bricks are the walls of the Tomato
Bar and Bistro, which opened last
week.
We liked the way it looked,
Mike Partash, co-owner with his
brother Andy, said of the walls.
That was the feel we wanted to go
with. We like that industrial look
with exposed duct work.
The Partash brothers owned the
River Street Ale House on River
Road in Jenkins Township which
was destroyed by the 2011 Flood.
The Ale House had a multiple
beer tap system, featuring import
and craft beers and the Tomato Bar
recreates that and then some.
The new bar has a 24-tap system.
Three Susquehanna beers, from the
local brewery in Jenkins Township,
and one from Breakers in Wilkes-
Barre are on tap.
The facade design is by architect
Paul Lewis who also designed the
Napoli facade.
Both ft the citys early-1900s
themed storefronts.
During the work on the front of
the Tomato Bar, Lewis said, Were
going for an old-time pub feel. Be-
cause it is in the alley, we want to
create something that will draw the
eye into the alley.
It succeeded in that with a front
that features deep, nine-foot high
windows with rows of smaller panes
above, new and rebuilt cornices and
globe-in-a-cage lighting.
The new bar has a patio which
overlooks the Tomato Festival Lot.
Talking on Thursday, Partash said he
expected the patio furniture to arrive
soon.
The bar has an upstairs room, but
the brothers havent decided what to
do with it yet.
They may use it for parties or as a
wine and desert room.
The menu includes burgers and
sandwiches and appetizers which
include as Mike Partash said, ev-
erything from deviled eggs, to dry
rubbed ribs, to mac n cheese.
The Tomato Bar and Bistro is
open from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Tuesday
through Saturday and opens at 1
p.m. Sundays.

The large orange machine,
called Son of a Beast, was
manufactured by Bandit In-
dustries. It is remote control
operated, features a 24 by
52-inch mill opening and its
equipped with a 225 horse-
power engine. The unit weighs
more than 12 tons. It was man-
ufactured in Remus, Mich.
A startup fee of $2,500 was
charged to each municipality,
but yearly fees will be pro-
rated based on population and
use.
Little Hughestown
shouldnt have to pay as much
as Pittston City, for example,
Knick said.
The money, Knick said, is
used for insurance, diesel fuel
and two employees working
16 hours a week. Insurance is
about $5,000 a year, Knick
said.
A storage shed will soon
be constructed to house tools,
the payloader and water truck.
Plains Township is also in
discussions to participate in
the program.
Knick is president of the
Compost Commission Board,
Pittston Mayor Jason Klush
is vice president, Tom Fritz of
Avoca is the treasurer and Bob
Gable of Hughestown is the
secretary.
To get to the facility from
Suscon Road, turn left into the
Grimes Industrial Park. Once
you pass the Dupont Munici-
pal garage, a dirt road on the
left leads to the facility on the
right.

THE PRIDE OF
WEST PITTSTON
Mike Bugelholl walks with the C&S Car Wash team in the 2012 West Pittston Cherry Blossom
Festival Parade.
former West Pittston resident.
Last year was one of our best
years, Salerno said. The weather
was great and everyone came out.
Because of the success last year,
the committee is replacing the fve
cherry trees destroyed in the food-
ing of 2011.
We were shocked that so many
trees survived, he said. Because
the water was so high, we didnt
think any of the trees were going to
make it.
The festival also honors long-
time West Pittston fre chief John
Janczewski, who recently retired
after 20 years, with its Outstanding
Community Citizen Award.
Ciampi, of Ledgeview Drive,
was born in Pittston Hospital and
attended the former Immaculate
Conception School to eighth grade.
He graduated from West Pittston
High School in 1960.
After six months training, he
served in the U.S. Army Reserve
and was honorably discharged as a
staff sergeant.
During high school and after his
military stint, he
was employed
by Pagnotti Coal
Co. as a tabletop
printing press
operator, print-
ing invoices,
letterhead paper,
business cards
and forms.
He subsequently worked for
Suburban Publishing for two years
and Eureka Printing for two years.
He spent the next 18 years work-
ing for P.A. Hutchinson Printing
Co. in Scranton where he started as
a bindery operator, went into man-
agement and then sales.
Ive lived in West Pittston my
entire life. Ive owned three homes
there, he said. We had a small
house, then a better one, then we
built a new one six years ago.
Ciampi founded Independent
Graphics Inc. in 1980 on North
Sherman Street in Wilkes-Barre,
as a one-man business printing sta-
tionery and envelopes. Five years
later, he relocated the businesses to
an 85,000 square foot location on
River Road in Jenkins Township,
just off the Eighth Street Bridge.
The company is a four-color pro-
duction house printing manuals,
brochures, catalogues and statio-
nery and envelopes. Its territory in-
cludes eastern Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and NewYork.
The business remained in Jen-
kins Twp. until the devastating
fooding of 2011. On Sept. 8, 2011,
in the wake of Hurricane Irene and
Tropical Storm Lee, the Susque-
hanna River crested at 44.6 feet and
the business was destroyed.
Nobody thought wed ever
come back from that, Ciampi said.
But we were able to because we
were low in debt; everything was
paid for.
The business had $1 million in
food insurance, which was all it
was able to purchase, but sustained
$3 million in damage.
Employees got right to work and,
with the $1 million in insurance
money, the company borrowed
additional money and bought new
equipment. But, the decision was
made to relocate.
We couldnt take a hit like that
again, Ciampi said.
A property at 242 W. 8th St. in
Wyoming was purchased in Janu-
ary and employees have been mov-
ing equipment over the past several
months. The building is a former
architectural frm and was, at one

When John Janczewski was just
fve months out of Wyoming Area
High School in the fall of 1971, his
friend Jim Hawk talked him into
joining the West Pittston Fire De-
partment.
Today he is 59 years old and a
42-year veteran volunteer freman.
I wasnt one of those kids who
wanted to be a freman growing up,
but things happen and Ive been
there ever since, Janczewski said.
The residents of West Pittston are
glad of that and for Janczewskis
dedication to the department, the
Cherry Blossom Committee has se-
lected him as the Outstanding Citi-
zen of the Year.
After high school, Janczewski
remained in West Pittston and, in
1974, married Nancy Sippach.
They have two daughters, Sheri
Slusser and Vickie Hood, and three
grandchildren, Kaitlyn and Morgan
Slusser and J.J. Hood. They all live
in West Pittston.
Janczewski has worked for PPL
since 1984. In 1990, he was named
assistant fre chief under Chief Joe
Jumper, who retired as chief in
1993. When he stepped down, I
stepped up, Janczewski said.
Now its Janczewskis turn to
step down. He retired as chief, but
stayed on as a frefghter. I wont
be as active, but Ill be there when
I have to be.
Two fres stand out in Janczews-
kis memory. He was two months
into being chief when West Pittston
responded to the infamous Pittston
structure fre where John F. Lom-
bardo, 25, and Leonard C. Insalaco,
20, were killed. Insalaco was one of
Janczewskis men.
For sheer size and power, the fre
that destroyed the Diversifed Re-
cords warehouse in May 1997 was
the monster of them all.
Janczewski said technology, ag-
ing of volunteers and training are
the biggest changes in frefghting
over the decades.
When I started, you grabbed a
helmet and a pair of boots, jumped
on the truck and you were a fre-
man. Now the department requires
a minimum of 120 hours training
before you can fght a fre.
As to the aging of the volunteers
he said, When I joined at 18, there
were 15 or 20 around that age. Now
we have four junior fremen under
18 but from 18 to about 30, theres
a big gap. He said if attrition con-
tinues at the pace hes seeing now,
the shortage of volunteers could be-
come critical.
Janczewski said when he was
told he was selected Outstanding
Citizen, he was surprised and fat-
tered, but insisted frefghting is all
about teamwork.
I dont feel Ive done anything
on an individual basis any other
chief wouldnt have done, he said.
The fre department is not just me,
its a whole bunch of people.
For Outstanding Citizen John Janczewski, reghting is teamwork

PITTSTON When the National
Football League announced its No. 1
draft pick in 1945, there wasnt any fan-
fare like you saw Thursday night on the
NFL Network and ESPN.
But you can be sure that the residents
of Pittston knew who went frst it was
the citys favorite son,
Charley Trippi, half-
back from the Uni-
versity of Georgia via
Pittston High School
who was drafted by
the Chicago Cardi-
nals.
Trippi, now 92,
lives in Athens, Ga.,
and is the oldest liv-
ing NFL No. 1 pick.
USA Today pub-
lished a feature story
about Trippi, and
Wednesday he talked
to The Times Leader
about his career and
his life growing up in
Pittston.
Growing up in the
coal mining town of
Pittston was a chal-
lenge, Trippi said.
My dad was a min-
er, he said. I used to greet him at the
door when he came home from work. He
was always tired, and I could see the pain
in his eyes.
Feeding fve kids was diffcult, and
after seeing the struggles of his parents,
Trippi said, he came up with a game plan.
Door to future
I knew if I could excel in baseball or
football or both, I could get
a scholarship, go to college
and fnd a career to beneft
me in the future, Trippi
said. Once I got to Geor-
gia, doors opened up for
me.
Trippi was always
a little apprehensive
when he was a child,
he said, but he al-
ways felt confdent
about his athletic
ability.
And he
proved it
t hr ough
his ca-
reer:
Trippi
was a two-
time All-
American at
Georgia.
He was named
Most Valuable Player i n
Georgias 9-0 victory over UCLAin the
1943 Rose Bowl, outshining teammate
and Heisman Trophy winner Frank Sin-
wich. Georgia fnished the season at 11-1
and the consensus national champion.
Trippi won the Maxwell Award in
1946 and fnished runner-up to Armys
Glenn Davis in the Heisman Trophy
voting.
Drafted by the NFLs Chicago Car-
dinals as the top overall pick in 1945,
Trippi served in the military in World
War II and returned to Georgia to com-
plete his degree, playing for the Bulldogs
in 1945 and 1946.

Trippi played in the NFL for
nine years; he later coached in Chi-
cago for fve years and fve years
at Georgia.
He played baseball for the
Southern Associations Atlanta
Crackers before joining the NFL;
he hit .334 in 106 games.
Trippi played in the 1947 NFL
Championship Game when the
Cardinals defeated the Philadelphia
Eagles, 28-21. Trippi wore basket-
ball shoes because the feld was
icy; he ran for 206 yards and scored
two touchdowns a 44-yard run
and a 75-yard punt return.
Trippi played halfback for
four seasons before switching to
quarterback for two seasons, then
back to offensive halfback for one
season; he switched to defense in
1954 and 1955. He was also the
Cardinals punter and he excelled
on special teams.
He is the only player in the Pro
Football Hall of Fame with at least
1,000 yards of receiving, passing
and rushing.
It makes me feel good, Trippi
said, refecting on his athletic ca-
reer. Im grateful for all the op-
portunities I had in football and
baseball.
He grew up at 90 E. Railroad St.
After graduating from Pittston, he
attended LaSalle Military Acad-
emy in Long Island, N.Y. He was
recruited by several major colleges.
Notre Dame came to my house
wanting to recruit me, he said.
But I had already committed to
Georgia.
Draws NFL pension
He watches the NFLdraft on TV,
he said, but not as intently as he has
in the past. Hes not jealous of the
multimillion-dollar contracts of to-
day. We get a good pension from
the NFL, he said.
The memories of a storied foot-
ball career remain fresh in his
mind, but Trippi plays a differ-
ent game these days against much
smaller competitors.
I have 15 grandchildren and
three great-grandchildren, he said.
Every Easter, Thanksgiving and
Christmas they all gather here. I
love to play with the grandkids. We
have a great time.
Trippi signed a four-year deal
with the Cardinals for $100,000 for
four years.
According to The USA Today
article, Trippi decided to attend
Georgia on the recommendation of
Harold Ketran, a former Georgia
player who had opened a Coca-Co-
la bottling plant in Wilkes-Barre.
Ketran gave Trippi a job driving
soda trucks in the summer.
Trippi lives in Athens, where
he became successful as a real es-
tate developer. He attends as many
Georgia Bulldog home games as
possible.

HI GH SCHOOL TENNI S
Twins double trouble for PA tennis opponents
If Kim Collins is walking around
with a little bounce in her step
through the hallways at Pittston
Area High School, the Spanish
teacher as a good reason. With two
wins this week over MMI and Ber-
wick her boys tennis team fnished
the regular season in second place
with a 9-2 record in the Wyoming
Valley Conference AAA division,
just a game behind 10-1 Crestwood.
As of press time, Coach Collins
is now waiting word to see if they
qualify for team districts.
This seasons success, after go-
ing 2-10 and 5-7 the last two sea-
sons, has been due mainly to the
fact that she has a team with tons
of talent and the best part is most
of them will be returning next year.
The big difference from this
group of tennis players from others
shes coached that has had success-
ful seasons is offseason play.
This is new, said Collins. I
havent boys in quite a few years
who enjoy the game enough to play
outside the months of the tennis
season.
Another key factor in this years
success is steady play. They play
the same kind of tennis that they
know, regardless of the opponent,
stated Collins. Whether its a
Wyoming Seminary type player, a
power hitter or a backboard type of
player, they play their game.
Leading the attack are twins
Trent and Tyler Woodruff playing
No.1 and 2 singles respectively.
The Woodruff brothers are all-
year round players that really enjoy
the game.
Both boys have been taking les-
sons from tennis pros throughout
the area. They began playing tennis
at the age of 12.
Our dads best friend Charlie
Dominick gave us racquets, said
Tyler. The boys havent looked
back since taking plenty of lessons,
clinics, and of course, competing
against each other.
Trent has the winning edge over
his brother but Tyler is on his heels.
When asked what Tyler has to do
to overcome his brother and the an-
swer was simple, get in his head.
Trent fnished the regular season
at 9-2 while Tyler ended up 7-3.
Ending the season with the best
winning record was the No.3 sin-
gles player, senior Jeremy Hom-
schek at 10-1.
PAwould not be successful with-
out the strength of their doubles
teams. Coach Collins No.1 team is
comprised of Suraj Pursnani/Terry
Briggs and Christian Charney/Jon-
athon Durling at No.2.
With the season winding down,
the Woodruff twins are looking for-
ward to plenty of tennis in their fu-
ture which includes playing in col-
lege, but for now, they are geared
up for playoffs and tennis districts.
As for Coach Collins, that
bounce in her step could very well
last for an entire year with all but
two seniors returning for next
years tennis season.

Hot week for Lady Warriors softball
The Lady Warriors had no prob-
lem crossing over. They outscored
three Division I opponents by 25-3
in a 3-0 week. They are 6-3, 1/2
game behind Berwick (6-2) and a
full game back of division leader
Tunkhannock (7-2) in Division 2.
They play Tunkhannock Friday in
West Pittston.
Were clicking, Barry Pryzbyla
said. It was an important week. We
had to at least come out 2-1, to come
3-0 it puts us right back in there.
They played well. To go down to
Nanticoke and spank them like they
did, that was the best they played
all year. I dont know when the last
time we beat Nanticoke was, but
after the game I told them, now I I
know when we beat them, today.
On Wednesday in Nanticoke the
LWs got fve in the frst and knocked
D-I co-leader Nanticoke into second
place with a 9-2 win. Holtz pitched
a complete game. Bree Bednarski
and Sokirka each had two hits and
scored twice. Emily Wolfgang had
three singles.
Holtz gave up seven hits and
walked four but got key outs when
they needed them. Having beaten
Hazleton a week earlier, the LWs
have wins over the top two D-1
teams.
On Thursday Valley West scored
two in the top of the frst, but De-
gnan wiped those runs out with a
3-run home run into the wind over
the fence in left center and Holtz
threw shutout innings the rest of the
game and the LWs won 7-2.
Again Holtz gave up baserunners,
12 hits, but again she got keys outs.
Kross, DAngelo and Bree Bednar-
ski had extra base hits.
The LWs started the week with a
9-0 win over Pittston Area in West
Pittston. The LWs had 15 hits, but
PA freshman pitcher Taylor Baloga
did strikeout nine.
Alex Holtz and Nicole Cumbo
combined on the shutout and for
seven strikeouts. Holtz didnt give
up a hit in fve innings and the Patri-

With a pair of wins Warriors get back in the race
HI GH SCHOOL BASEBAL L
Professional baseball returned
to PNC Field this season.
With help from its parents club,
the Wyoming Area baseball team
returned to the professional sta-
dium as well.
The Warriors moved their April
21 Wyoming Valley Conference
home game against Coughlin to
the $43-million Moosic facility,
taking on the Crusaders following
a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRid-
ers International League game last
Sunday.
Coughlin came away with a
3-0 victory on Josh
Feathermans four-
hit shutout, but
Wyoming Areas
top players gained
a memorable expe-
rience while Nick
OBrien put on a
personal highlight
show.
The parents
club always sets
us up to do that,
Wyoming Area
coach Chick An-
droscavage said of
the game at the site
of what was once
Lackawanna Coun-
ty Stadium. Every year, we try to
get up and play a game there.
Unfortunately, it was a league
game this year. You try to get ev-
eryone you have in, but its differ-
ent in a league game.
The Warriors and all other
baseball teams had to take a year
away from PNC Field last season
when it was rebuilt while the then-
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
spent the season on the road be-
fore returning to a new name and
a new-look facility.
Its always something nice,
Androscavage said. We did miss
it.
Nick OBrien had to hustle just
to take part in the game.
The senior center felder and
leadoff hitter was in Philadelphia
earlier in the day practicing for
the Pennsylvania State Football
Coaches Association East-West
All-Star Game. The Wyoming
Area quarterback and Bucknell
University recruit is expected to
play running back in the May 5
game in Downingtown.
OBrien led off the bottom of
the frst with a double. He was the
only Wyoming Area player with
an extra-base hit and the only War-
rior with two hits. He also stole a
base.
Defensively, OBrien had the
games two most impressive
plays, covering the extra space in
center feld.
Wyoming Area starting pitcher
Jake Granteed had retired the
frst fve Coughlin bat-
ters, including four on
strikeouts, before Eric
Adamczyks liner to
the left-center feld gap
in the second inning.
OBrien made a run-
ning, overhead grab to
end the inning.
OBrien also ended
the ffth inning. This
time, with two men
on, he pulled in a Kyle
Lupas drive to deep,
straightaway center
feld while falling to
his back.
Hes a very gifted
athlete, Androscav-
age said of OBrien,
who is also running track this
spring. To come in and do
that after going to a football prac-
tice is very special.
Wyoming Area had few offen-
sive highlights.
OBrien, Jordan Zezza and
Mike Carey gave the Warriors
singles in the third through sixth
innings, but the Warriors never ad-
vanced a runner past seasond base.
The bottomline is we didnt
hit, Androscavage said. We
couldnt put any hits together.
Featherman fnished the shutout
when pinch hitter Zach Lopatka
ripped a shot back through the
box, ricocheting off Feathermans
shoulder to Lupas, a step away
from the bag at frst.
Granteed worked fve innings,
Wyoming Areas Joe Gavenonis delivers a pitch against Hazleton Area in West Pittston on Wednes-
day afternoon. Below, WA shortstop Jake Granteed, left, loses the handle on the ball on an errant
throw as Hazleton Areas David Klein slides into second base.

PEEKING INTO
THE PAST
With Judy Minsavage
Cherry Fest in
West Pittston
off the ground
In the April 14 Peek-
ing Into the Past, we
published a photo
taken in 1968 of Boy
Scout Troop 303 of
Pittston embarking
on an overnight canoe
trip to New York. We
asked, Can you recongize anyone?
Michelle Stark, of Wyoming, called to
identify the last young lad in the rst
row on the very right as her brother,
Jerry LaMark, formerly of Pittston,
now of Forty Fort.
Question:
What information released in 1961
reected something that had not been
evidenced in Pittston for decades?
1961 - 52 YEARS AGO
The Wyoming Booster Club held
its annual banquet to honor outstand-
ing Wyoming Area senior athletes. In
1961, the club itself was honored with
a Meritorious Achievement Award by
the Queen Esther American Legion
Post for its years of service. Charles
Van Camp accepted the award from
Post Commander Len Zavada. Dur-
ing the event, trophies were presented
to Angelo Ardo, outstanding football
lineman; Ronald Klocko, outstanding
basketball player; and Pete Rutski,
outstanding football backeld.
The Greater Pittston National
Guards acquisition of an M56 full-
tracked tank with a 90MMgun required
the unit to look for a fewgood men with
specialized skill and mechanical know-
how to staff their newly-organized As-
sault Gun Platoon. Staff Sgt. Ronald
Sherman and SP5 Henry Jackett of
the Combat Support Company were in
charge of manning the vehicle which
could be viewed in operation during
evening demonstrations at the armory.
Primarily manufactured for airborne
units, the the M56 was manufactured
from 1953 to 1959 by the Cadillac Mo-
tor Car Division of General Motors.
1971 - 42 YEARS AGO
The rst West Pittston Cherry Blos-
somFestival was in the planning stages.
Scheduled to perform were an Ecumen-
ical choir from all churches of Greater
Pittston in conjuction with an arts festi-
val. Members of the rst planning com-
mittee were Mrs. Nick Anselmi, Mrs.
Tom Opeka, Mrs. Tom Obrzut, Mrs.
Drew Smith, Mrs. Sam Ferrara, Mrs.
Edward Wicks. Mrs. Joseph Andal-
oro, Mrs. Thomas Davis, Attorney
Charles Bufalino, Ray Ramage, Ray
Crisci, Darwin Llewellyn and Ernest
Pahl. The 42nd annual festival will be
held from10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday,
May 4 and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sun-
day, May 5, rain or shine.
Three high school seniors, Fran-
cis Solano, Wayne Bechtold and
Thomas Pepe representing St. Johns
High School, Pittston Area and Wyo-
ming Area, respectively, were honored
by the Pittston Rotary Club. During a
program entitled Teenage Viewpoint,
the three young men were asked their
impressions on subjects such as drugs
in schools, attitudes toward boys hair-
styles and politics in the school system.
The purpose of the program was to
encourage a better understanding be-
tween adults and young people.

is more commonly known as a pick, is
used.

Five years ago the Phoenix
Theatre had a clue about
what to do. Clue: the Play
was the rst show the com-
munity theater in Duryea
produced in May 2008. Per-
formed by Phoenix Theat-
rics, the theaters company
for children and young adults
ages 12 to 20, Clue is an in-
tricate musical based on the
iconic board game. It sold
out four consecutive week-
ends.
Since then Phoenix, led by
director/choreographer Lee
LaChette, has taken on other
elaborate, large-cast musi-
cals such as Rent, Fosse,
Avenue Q, Rocky Horror,
Fame and Cats.
We were the rst ones
ever to do Cats and Fosse
in our area because of the
difculty of the show, La-
Chette said.
Continuing the trend,
Phoenix is celebrating its
fth anniversary with a pro-
duction of A Chorus Line
with a cast of 28 young actors
from 12 to 20 years of age.
The show is about 17
Broadway dancers audition-
ing for spots on a chorus
line. Among the songs are

A Chorus Line performances will
benet Be Relevant Ministries Inc., an
organization for homeless young adult
and teens.
Past shows have raised money for
the Red Cross HIV/AIDS Education
and Awareness Program and the Jolee
Boarder Foundation for childhood
cancer and anti-bullying. Phoenix also
gives back to the community in ben-
et walks, hosting the elderly for holi-
day shows and performing at nursing
homes.
Our Avenue Q cast raised money
for Broadway Cares HIV Awareness,
LaChette said. and personally deliv-
ered the donation in New York City
when we took the cast to see Avenue
Q and did a meet and greet with the
off-Broadway cast. Our Annie cast
also went to New York to see Annie
on Broadway and we delivered pajamas
for orphans in New York.
Annie, which sold out nine shows
from April 19 to 28, was performed by
the Phoenix Kids, the theaters com-
pany for actors and singers ages ages 4
to 13.
LaChette, who is also director of Di-
mensions in Dance Studio in the same
building, said A Chorus Line, which
will use original Broadway choreog-
raphy, is special to her. This show is
dear to me. It was the rst Broadway
show I ever saw and always wanted to
part of it. It was my dream to tour pro-
fessionally with this show.
That dream came true. LaChette
toured for a year professionally playing
Bebe on the line in 1986 and 87.
LaChette, who grew up in Hazle-
ton, began studying dance and theater
when she was three years old. She
studied locally and at the Philadelphia
Dance Center and in New York. She
earned a degree in accounting with a
minor in musical theater from Penn
State University.
After playing Bebe, she returned to
the Hazleton area to teach dance, per-
form and choreograph. She got a day
job with Sears Holding Co. in Wilkes-
Barre and moved there for an easier
commute. It was then she got on the
board of the theater that predated
Phoenix.
I was on the board of a theater com-
pany that was in the building we are in
now and was a choreographer for KISS
Theatre Company who rented the up-
stairs, she said. When the theatre
company closed and KISS moved, a
few of us stayed and rented the build-
ing and opened our own theatre com-
pany. This was in February 2008.
The condition of the theater, which
had been used as a haunted house
around Halloween, prompted LaChette
to name it. When we took it over, the
stage area was pretty well destroyed
and all the rooms needed a face lift so,
like the Phoenix, we rose from the ash-
es. We remodeled one area for a dance
studio, rebuilt the stage and updated
the lighting booth. We decided to call
the building Phoenix Performing Arts
Centre.
LaChette now lives in Duryea, just
blocks from the theater with her do-
mestic partner and their Maltese, Mir-
acle, the theater mascot. Living nearby
is convenient as LaChette puts in 16 to
20 hours a week between teaching and
rehearsals during a typical week and
about 30 hours a week the two weeks
before a show opens.
LaChette said the staff and players
are like a family, close enough to rib her
about her size. Im 5-1 and most of the
kids I work with are taller than me, so I
am the brunt of a lot of jokes.
Olivia Bellanco, 13 and a Wyoming
Area seventh-grader, plays Connie on
The Chorus Line. Shes been with
Phoenix since the beginning and agrees
its like a family. The main thing is,
Bellanco said, everybody gets along.
Lee is very professional. Shell push
you far enough so the show will be
good, but she wont be forceful; shell
be nice and funny.
Last week and this, Chorus Line
cast rehearsals are held every night for
2 1/2 hours. Its hard work, Bellanco
said, but its going to be a really good
show, so its worth it.
The Phoenix staff includes LaChette,
Jenn Stanton, president and director of
shows; Bev Boos and Barb Maxwell,
costume directors; and Chase and Au-
drey Beleski, Carey and Dave Rambus
and Shelly Manley, volunteers.
LaChette said most of the students
are serious about theater and some
who got their starts at Phoenix are
studying musical theatre in college.
As a non-prot, Phoenix relies on
sponsors.
Bath Fitter has been a sponsor of
the theater for three years and Avenue
Diner is a new sponsor of individual
shows this year. Phoenix also charges
cast members a small production fee
to help with sets, costumes, props and
programs.

Centre in Duryea.

PLAY
In 1956, 15 men gathered at the
home of Jim Dillon in Jenkins
Township and planned the be-
ginnings of the Jenkins Town-
ship Little League. Starting with
a four-team league with 15 play-
ers on each squad, the men were
able to eld a minor league with
four more teams, build a stadi-
um behind the old Jenkins High
School and raise over $1,200 to
purchase rst-class uniforms
for the players. In 1981, the
league celebrated its 25th suc-
cessful season. Some of the men
who worked diligently for the
league over the years were Gene
King, Jim Norris, Simon Stru-
zzeri, Bob Miller, Jim Musto,
Al Yanushavich, Sandy Gub-
biotti, Jim Dillon, the leagues
rst president; Joe Vetack, Joe
Balberchak, Charles Falcone,
Joe McDonald, Any Karaffa,
janet Dunn, Ron DElisio and
Bill Gaffney.
Frank Zavrotny helped draw
up the Duryea V.F.W. Post 1227
charter on July 7 1924. In 1981,
post members Joe Butrymo-
wicz, Michael Tetlak and Al
Grabosky honored Mr. Zavrot-
ny with a life membership card.
Answer:
Figures released in April 1961
showed that Democrats had
gained a lead in registrations
in Pittston for the rst time in
decades.
Of the 7,516 registered voters
in Pittston, Democrats num-
bered 4,121 and Republicans
3,395. Just ve years earlier, in
1956, records showed that not
one ward or voting precinct in
Pittston favored Democrats in
registration.
Follow the seasons. Follow
your heart. Lead by example.
Lead with love, alongside sim-
plicity and courage, embracing
duty, shunning fear.
