Few things make me more uncomfortable
than someone giving me an idea for a col-
umn. I dont mean that to sound as horrible
as it does. God knows, with one of these
things hanging over my head like a sword
of Damocles 52 weeks a year, I should wel-
come any suggestions I could get.
And I do, sort of. Its just that I hate to
disappoint anyone, and when I hear a well-
meant You know what you should write
about? my frst thought is usually Thanks,
but how am I going to get 800 words out of
it?
Yet, when one of my students at the com-
munity college suggested something about a
month ago, my initial reaction was com-
pletely different. I wasnt sure exactly how
I was going to pull off what he had in mind
but I knew I wanted to.
At 29 years old, this fella is what in higher
education we term a non-traditional student.
My experience over the past 23 years of
teaching is that the non-traditionals are fre-
quently the best students in the class. It has a
lot to do with motivation.
Such is the case with Jason, a culinary arts
major and a star pupil.
I dont often teach speech at the college
but something compelled me to volunteer
for a section this past semester and, who
knows, maybe it was the hand of God put-
ting me into Jasons life and him into mine.
You learn a lot about students in a speech
class and so it wasnt long before I grew to
admire this young man who is determined
to make a good life for his son and his sons
mother. Jason has one of those faces that can
light up as though you fipped a switch and
nothing makes that face light up more than
when he talks about Jake and/or Erin.
Jake is two-and-a-half years old and Jason
and Erin have been together going on four
years. They are not originally from this area
but moved here when Erin, a medical lab su-
pervisor, landed a job with a local hospital.
Jakes full name is Jacob Elias, the Jacob
after Jasons favorite character on the
TV show Lost and the Elias after Walt
Disneys middle name. Jason says both the
fctional Jacob and the real Disney have had
a profound infuence on his life.
That life, as revealed in his speeches, has
not been easy.
Jason was born in upstate NewYork to a
16-year-old mom who fell head over heels
for a long-haired, 22-year-old guitar player
in a local band. He wasnt much of a dad,
although I love him dearly today, and she
was just too young to be a mom, Jason
says.
When Jason was 6 months old, the three
of them moved to Las Vegas. Then his mom
left and returned home with him where he
wound up living with his grandmother until
he was about six.
Declared a problem child (yes, at only 6
years old), he was removed from his grand-
mas home and institutionalized and that
began a 10-year stretch of being bounced
from institutions to foster homes and back,
sometimes behaving, most of the time not.
He ran away when he was 10 taking along
his 6-year-old brother by the hand, but they
were soon caught when they stole a bag of
Jolly Ranchers at a convenient store. We
were hungry, Jason says.
I was always wishing for that day like
in the movies when someone would knock
on the door and say Im your mom, or
Im your dad, and take me to live in some
fabulous house where everything would be
perfect, he says.
Jason does recall one marvelous child-
hood memory. He was about 9 and his
grandfather rescued him from a foster home
after he got into a fght with a 15-year-old in
the family.
My grandfather was not in a position to
take me in, Jason says, but he is the one
person from whom I experienced uncondi-
tional love. I can still picture him sitting in
the corner at this little store that he hung out
at scratching off lottery tickets and eating
Slim Jims.
It was near Christmas and Jason, in a mall
with his grandfather, pointed to a Guns n
Roses CD in a music store. His grandfather
shrugged it off but on Christmas morning,
wrapped in a big box to throw him off, Jason
found the CD. It was the best Christmas of
my life, Jason recalls.
At 18, Jason joined the U.S. Navy and
thats when things began to turn around. He
served most of his three-plus years partici-
pating in various operations in Iraq.
After his discharge, he was working at a
Dennys restaurant back in NewYork where
hed often firt with a redhead who came in
frequently with her friend Erin.
Yes, that Erin. Four years later Jason can-
not even remember the redheads name.
Not long after speech class began in
January, Jason started reading this column
regularly. And he got Erin reading it too.
Which brings us to Jasons request.
What he asked of me seemed just perfect
for Mothers Day and he agreed.
So here goes:
Erin, this last part is directed at you.
As you reach this point in todays column,
please put the paper aside and look at your
son.
Jake is holding a gift for you.
Its an engagement ring.
Jason would like you to marry him.
You and I have never met, Erin, but I get
the feeling youre going to say yes.
And, man, will Jasons face light up then.

Debbie Seneses Mothers Day
wont come wrapped in a bow
or have a high dollar amount at-
tached to it. The best part of her day will
be the opportunity of being surrounded
by her seven children.
Debbie, the former Debbie Gadomski,
said early on in her 36-year marriage, she
realized her legacy would not be her ca-
reer or her fnancial status, but in being a
good mother to her children.
Deb has always viewed the success
of our children in their true character
and their willingness to help others,
said husband Glenn. We want them to
choose a career they love and seek to do
their best.
Both Glenn and Debbie, who live in a
six-bedroom house on Antrim Road, said
living in Pittston has been a very special
and positive experience for their family.
Weve lived her our entire married
life, said Glenn. It is a place where
neighbors are not hesitant to help each
other.
All seven children of the Senese fam-
ily, who range in age from 11 to 28, still
live at home. All have positive things to
say about their experience in a large fam-
ily.

Rosary School, said she often relies
upon her older brothers and sisters
for homework help. She said she es-

Yurek Grand Marshal of the Memorial Day Parade
As a Bronze Star recipient and
member of the American Legion
Post 904 for the past 50 years,
George C. Yurek was a clear
choice to serve as this years
Grand Marshal
of the Wyoming/
West Wyoming
Memorial Day
Parade.
George is ded-
icated to his fam-
ily and his broth-
ers in arms, said
parade organizer
Richard Yarosav-
ich. The 91-year-
old Yurek is a life-
long resident of
West Wyoming.
Yurek was in-
ducted into the
U.S. Army on
Dec. 15, 1942, at
a time when he
was working as
an apprentice pat-
ternmaker at the
Wyoming Brass
and Machine
Works on Sixth
Street for 35 cents
an hour.
He was sent to
Camp Lee, VA
for auto mechanic
school becaue there was a great
need for mechanics. Eventually,
with his training and mechanical
background, he ended up at Camp
Beuregard, LA where he was as-
signed to a bomb disposal unit.
The 174th Bomb Disposal
Squad was activated on March 20,
1944 and Technical Sergeant Yu-
rek and his squad were deployed
to New Guinea to clear a Japanese
bomb dump. Over the next year,
Yureks squad cleared bombs on
numerous is-
lands in the Pa-
cifc Theater.
In Febru-
ary 1945, the
174th Bomb
Squad was part
of an amphibi-
ous landing on
the beach of
Corregidor Is-
land. Yureks
unit received
a citation for
its heroic work
during that
battle because
members dis-
t i n g u i s h e d
themselves by
extraordinary
heroism and
out s t a ndi ng
performance of
duty in action
against the en-
emy.
The 174th
was part of
a force that
seized the ene-
my-held island fortress in one of
the most diffcult battles of the
Pacifc War. The Japanese were

magi steri al di stri ct judge race
Eight seeking Pierantonis former seat
Bobbouine Kokura Kulick Lehman Mecadon OBrien Sanguedolce Singer
The race for Democratic and Re-
publican ballot slots for the Pittston
magisterial district judge seat is
coming down the home stretch.
Eight candidates are running and
all but two are cross-fled on both
tickets.
Candidates who cross-fled are
Arthur Bobbouine of Pittston, Al-
exandra Sciandra Kokura of Du-
pont, Girard Jerry Mecadon of
Jenkins Township, Len Sanguedol-
ce of Pittston, Mark Singer of
Pittston and James OBrien of
Pittston. Jeffrey C. Kulick of
Hughestown and Quiana Murphy
Lehman of Dupont will only appear
on the Democratic ballot.
The candidate who receives the
most votes in each party will square
off in the Nov. 5 general election.
The state Supreme Court recently
approved vast Pittston and Jenkins
townships and small borough of
Yatesville being added to the mag-
isterial district that currently repre-
sents Pittston City, Dupont, Duryea
and Hughestown. Realignment of
the district takes effect on June 1.
The Pittston seat is currently oc-
cupied on an interimbasis by Senior
Magisterial Judge Andrew Barilla
Jr., formerly the longtime Swoyers-
ville judge. He was appointed to the
seat after Fred Pierantoni became a
county judge.
One early favorite for the dis-
trict magistrates seat was former
Luzerne County District Attorney
Jackie Musto Carroll of Yatesville,
but she has decided not to run.
According to campaign fnance
reports fled with the Luzerne
County Election Offce for the lat-
est reporting period ending on May
6, Kokura was the biggest mon-
eymaker and the biggest spender,
followed by Mecadon and Singer.
Money collected come from candi-
dates themselves, their families and
personal campaign donations.
Kokura collected $61,940 and
spent $34,719, leaving a balance
of $27,200. The campaign listed
$33,900 in unpaid debt.
Mecadon has collected $35,261
and spent $31,583, leaving a bal-
ance of $4,677. The campaign has
$15,000 in unpaid debt.
Singers committee collected
$26,045 in donations and spent
$25,862 leaving a balance of
$242. The unpaid debt is listed as
$25,075.
OBriens committee collected
$6,985 and spent $5,901, leaving
a balance of $1,083. The campaign
has no debt.
Bobbouine collected $5,755 and
spent $2,412, leaving a balance of
$3,342. The campaign has no un-
paid debt.
Lehman collected $2,375 and
$486. The campaign has no unpaid
debt.
Sanguedolces committee col-
lected $1,700 and spent $2,782.
The committee still has $1,883 in
the account and has $770 in debt.
Kulick collected $1,514 and
$258. The campaign has $200 in
unpaid debt.
Magisterial district judges are
elected to six-year terms and are
paid $86,639 a year.
The following are based on in-
terviews with all of the candidates.
Candidates are listed alphabetically.
Art Bobbouine, 37, of Pittston,
said his law degree and his back-
ground as a criminal justice instruc-
tor makes him a good ft for the job.
Im able to make intelligent,
common-sense decisions, he said.
I have the background and the ex-
perience.
He said drugs are a big problem
in the district and he would partici-
pate in public awareness programs
to curb crime and drug use in the
district.
Im willing to work with police
and community members in crime
prevention program, he said. We
need to get the residents more in-
volved.
He said hed be understanding
and fair when dealing with the pub-
lic.
At magistrate court, youre the
peoples judge, he said. If the
people dont understand whats go-
ing on, its my job as a magisterial
judge to help them understand.
Bobbouine said he is unsure if he
has to be certifed by the Minor Ju-
diciary Education Board because he
as a lawdegree, but is not a member
of the state bar.
The boards website says train-
ing is necessary if an elected judge
is not a member of the state bar.
Bobbouine is a 1994 graduate
of Pittston Area High School and
earned a bachelors degree in his-
tory and political science from the
University of Scranton. He gradu-
ated from Dickinson Law School in
2001. He then spent 8 years in the
Luzerne County Sheriffs Offce,
rising to the post of chief deputy
under Sheriff Barry Stankus. He
then worked as a criminal justice
instructor at the Municipal Police
Offcer Education and Training
Commission at Luzerne County
Community College and Fortis
Institute in Forty Fort. He is cur-
rently the Prothonotary and Clerk
of Courts for Luzerne County ap-
pointed by the Luzerne County
Manager.
He was elected to the Pittston
City Home Rule Study Commis-
sion, serving as the treasurer and
as a current member of the Transi-
tion Committee for the new form of
government. He is also a certifed
notary public
Bobbouine is married to the for-
mer Trish Sgarlat and they have
two children, a son, Arthur Primo,
6, and daughter, Giovanna, 2.
Alexandra Sciandra Koku-
ra, 30, of Dupont, said that as a
special court master, shes currently
doing many of the duties a district
judge performs.
Im currently presiding over
cases, weighing evidence, making
decisions, just like a magisterial
district judge.
She said now that the district is
expanded, it is important a have a
full-time magisterial judge.
I dont operate a private law
practice and its important Im
not trying to balance both, she
said. The community will be bet-
ter served by having an accessible
magistrate 24 hours a day. The tax-
payers deserve a full time magis-
trate. Im willing and dedicated and
excited to do it.
She said she hopes work with lo-
cal groups to help identify repeat

strongly entrenched in tunnels and
caves armed with mines.
During the battle, 4,509 Japanese
soldiers were killed and only 19
prisoners surrendered. Yureks unit
was credited with saving many lives
by disarming mines and bombs.
I still remember General Ma-
cArthur wading to shore on Cor-
regidor with his corn cob pipe,
recalled Yurek.
Yurek was awarded the Bronze
Star Medal in November 1945 for
showing great heroism in action
against the enemy at Luzon, Cor-
regidor Island and the Philippine Is-
lands. Although untrained in mine
removal, he assisted his command-
ing offcer in disarming the mines.
Due to the large number of
bombs, Yurek volunteered for dan-
gerous duty to deactivate them,
even removing the fuses by hand.
He was credited with deactivating
over 100 enemy mines in the initial
stages of the operation on Corregi-
dor Island.
Yureks unit was slated to invade
Japan when President Harry Tru-
man ended the war and the Japa-
nese surrendered.
During his service in the Pacifc
Theater, Yurek was awarded four
Bronze Battle Stars, a Bronze Ar-
rowhead, Good Conduct Medal and
ribbons for American Defense, Asi-
atic Pacifc Campaign, Philippine
Liberation, Victory and a Presiden-
tial Citation Badge.
He was honorably discharged in
January 194, returned to West Wyo-
ming and married Elinor Kadar the
following April.
He went back to work as a pat-
ternmaker at United Foundry and
worked there for 62 years, rising to
the position of plant manager and
vice president before he retired.
George and Ellie had been mar-
ried for 67 years when she passed
away earlier this year. They had
three children, Greg, George and
Ann, along with seven grandchil-
dren.
Yurek says my Ellie was with
him every step of the way through
their 70 extraordinary years to-
gether.
Yurek is honored that the pa-
rade committee has selected him
as Grand Marshall. He had rarely
shared his World War II experienc-
es, but his children encouraged him
to tell his story.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY FROM
WYOMING AREA SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES
WEST WYOMING
ELECT COUNCIL
Ralph CONFLETTI
Mike DOLAN
PRI MARY EL ECTI ON 201 3
Bonin Brown DeLuca Bolin DeAngelo Valenti Stofko Marianacci Yochem
Nine seek four seats on WA school board
Nominations for four seats on the
Wyoming Area school board are on
the ballot in the May 21 primary
election.
Two of the four incumbents, Gil
Dominick and Frank Casarella,
are not running for reelection, so
there will be at least two new board
members and possibly four next
school year.
There are nine candidates for the
nominations. All nine are crossfled
as Republicans and Democrats.
Among the candidates are the
two incumbents, board president
John Bolin and treasurer John
Marianacci, who have been on the
board since 2005 and are running
as a team; former board members
Tony Valenti and Nick DeAngelo
who lost by 1.08 and 1.5 percent in
the 2011 general election and are
running as a team; three newcom-
ers to politics from Exeter Town-
ship, John Paul Bonin, Kimberly
Yochem and Michael J. Brown,
who are running as a team; and
two previous candidates who are
running independently in Ree Ree
DeLuca and Jerry Stofko.
Four of those candidates will
make up the next board with Estelle
Campenni, Deanna Farrell, Mary
Louise Degnan, Elizabeth Gober-
Mangan and Carl Yorina, Jr.
Every candidate sees the lack
of a teachers union contract as a
major issue, but they all acknowl-
edge that if a settlement is reached
between the current board and the
union before the November elec-
tion, newcomers to the next board
wont have input into that contract,
or a future one, unless it is less than
four years.
John Bolin
Incumbent board president John
Bolin, the owner/operator of Flow-
ers by Lucille in Wyoming Bor-
ough, had a quick answer when
asked for three top issues: Teach-
ers contract, budget, security and
safety.
Asked about the status of the ne-
gotiations with the teachers union
he said, Theyre coming along,
progressing. We met on May 1.
Were following procedures, meet-
ing in good faith and progressing
very well. Health care is an issue.
Weve got to get that hammered
out.
Bolin said raising taxes has been
a necessary evil. In 2005, before
I got elected the previous board
passed a teachers contract and a
$20 million construction project
and didnt pay for it. We cut the
construction project to $10 million,
but were still paying for it. Its like
a 30-year mortgage.
As to the safety issue, he said,
Its safe, but there is always room
for improvement. Restructuring the
entrance, maybe new glass in front
of the school. Well have to see
what we can afford.
John Marianacci
Incumbent board secretary John
Marianacci has a Bachelor s De-
gree in Criminal Justice. He is a 20-
year veteran corrections offcer for
Luzerne County. He is running as a
team with Bolin.
Tony Valenti
Candidate Tony Valenti is the of-
fce manager for Cenera Auto Parts
in West Pittston.
Valenti, who was on the board
for 20 years before losing a close
race in the 2011 General Election,
said her top issues are the lack of
a teachers contract, property taxes
and the budget. All are intertwined
and, she said, Everything is about
money.
As to the budget she said, Weve
been away for two years, so well
have to see where we can go with
it. We may have to make cuts, but
I dont want to hurt education. The
students are the priority. They are
our future.

DeRome Care Walk attracts more than 100, raises $2,400
Kristy DeRome was just three
months old when she was diag-
nosed with thalassemia, a rare
blood disorder.
The news was devastating to her
parents, Fury and Mary DeRome,
of Hughestown. The doctors told
themnot to expect their baby to live
past her teens.
Though its been a rough
go, that 3-month-old beat
the odds.
Today, she is 35-year-
old Kristy DeRome Gom-
berg.
She organized a Care
Walk to beneft Cooleys
Anemia Foundation, an or-
ganization with a mission
to advance the treatment
and cure for thalassemia,
on May 5 at Robert Yaple
Park in Hughestown.
The walk defnitely ex-
ceeded my expectations,
Gomberg said.
My goal was to raise
$1,000 for the foundation and we
are at $2,400. We had over 100
people and we are that much closer
to fnding a cure.
Kristys husband Paul walked
alongside her during the mile-long
walk. Hes supported me in ev-
erything, she said. Weve been
together almost 10 years and weve
been through a lot together.
DeRome has been fghting the
effects of thalassemia for 35 years.
She travels to The Childrens Hos-
pital of Philadelphia for regular
blood transfusions.
The blood transfusions, as they
do for all patients, build up an iron
overload in her vital organs and she
has to be hooked up to an infusion
pump 12 hours a night to remove
the iron.
She takes numerous medications
and has severe osteoporosis issues.
She has no spleen and cant fght
infections.
Though the blood transfusions
have caused Lyme disease and ba-
beseosis (a malaria-like disease),
she needs themto sur-
vive. As it is with all
thalassemia patients,
the transfusions are
a chance she has to
take.
Despite it all, Gom-
berg is a fghter and
an optimist. It can
always be worse,
she said.
In an email she
wrote: Thank you
so much to everyone
who registered, spon-
sored, made baskets
or monetary dona-
tions or had any part
in making the day possible. I hope
to make it a tradition. You really do
not know how much this means to
me personally and the Thalassemia
Community. Special thanks go to
my mother and father who provided
so much of their time, and I could
not have done it without them and
my sister who provided her time in
making all of the posters.
Thank you to Anup Patel (Car-
riage Stop Plaza/ Sunoco) for
donating all of the water and do-
nuts and the mayor and council of
Hughestown Borough for allowing
us to use the park.
Born with rare disease, 35-year-old beat the odds and is now out to help others

SECOND F RI DAY I N PI TTSTON
Downtown alive with art
Downtown Manager Rose Ran-
dazzo called Fridays inaugural
Second Friday Art Walk a huge
success.
She estimated that over 500
people walked through the down-
town to browse the art displays
and eat at the citys restaurants.
The restaurants were all busy.
At one point 30 people were wait-
ing outside Palazzos to be seated.
Across the street at Napolis
workers were in a frenzy keeping
up with demand.
Inside the Tomato Bar patrons
were lined two deep around the
bar, while on the deck a standing
room only crowd listened to the
Sperrazza Band playing classic
rock in the bandshell on the lower
Tomato Lot.
Rooneys had a bar full most of
the evening.
The Art Seen Gallery patrons
fled in and out all evening, stop-
ping at the free buffet and for a
glass of wine.
Were very pleased, Randaz-
zo said.
Its one of the best things for
the merchants.
The city plans to double the
number of artists on the street next
month, when more of the rolling
display grids are available.
The city is also exploring ways
to get more people to walk up
Main Street beyond Broad and
William to the area of the Music
Scene and the Fuji Sushi & Asian
Fusion restaurant
One idea is to have live music
at the Millennium Clock to attract
attention to North Main.

GUESTOPINION
A Mothers Day
letter to Grandma
Ed Note: Following is a letter sent to Ann
Conte, of Pittston, by her granddaughter El-
len Schroeder, of Connecticut. Ellens mom
is Karen Flannery, the former Karen Conte.
We are publishing it because it is beautifully
written and because the sentiment expressed
applies to all grandmothers. Ann Conte is
a vibrant 93 years old. Also, the Gramps
mentioned is the late Dan Conte, beloved
Pittston barber.
Dear Grandma,
I wanted to send you a note on Mothers
Day to acknowledge the role and infuence
you have had on me and the other mothers
in the family. You are the mother of mothers
the Grand Mother in the truest sense of
the word.
In particular, I am grateful for the time
I shared with you growing up. I have such
fond memories of hiking Buttermilk Falls
and Rickets Glen and wonderful times at
Ocean City with you. I think most fondly,
though, of my sleepovers with you as a
child.
You may not remember, but you were the
frst person to talk about race with me (you
explained that the term colored was no
longer to be used; instead Black was the
most sensitive term).
I can remember watching you study or do
homework of some sort (perhaps you took
some kind of class?) and looking forward to
the time that I had homework with wire-
bound notebooks and sharpened pencils.
I can remember you noticing with mild
disgust the age spots on your hands I can
see them still in my minds eye. Thinking of
this as I see my own age spots developing
seems to lessen my own distaste of aging
and all of its accompaniments both good
and bad.
I remember Gramps breakfasts in the
morning the table set and food ready
even though he might have been long gone
to the barber shop. This may be one of the
reasons that breakfast is still my favorite
meal.
I remember the sweets that could always
be found in your kitchen in the cabinet on
the freezer.
I always looked forward with great an-
ticipation to spending that special time with
you.
I think, too,about the wonderful mothers
you raised Jane, so full of goodness and
giving, and my own mom, the woman who
taught me most everything I know about
marriage and mothering. You raised women
who are giving, loving, and strong likely
because this is the embodiment of you and
your traits.
Through the good times and the tough
times, I have learned what an honor it is to
be a mother in this family and, for that, I
am most grateful to you the mother of
mothers.
YOUR SPACE
Atty. Jan Lokuta,
originator and host of the
annual summer tour of
Greater Pittston historic
churches says he is plan-
ning something different
this year. The group will
visit only two churches:
Saint Michaels Byz-
antine Catholic church
on North Main Street,
Pittston, and The Italian
Christian Church, in
South Pittston. But I
am spending an hour at
each, Lokuta wrote in an
email. At Saint Mi-
chaels I hope to have the
priest give a talk on the
churchs icons and pos-
sibly an explanation of
how they are created and
at the Italian Christian
Church members of the
congregation will sing
hymns in Italian.
In this painting by
Brian Keeler, submitted
by Lokuta, St. Michaels
is visible.
The date of the tour is
to be announced.
Annual church tour planned for June

YOUROPINION
This letter is written in regards to the May 5 letter from John Dis-
anferdinand from West Pittston about two local bars, Dowses Suds
& Grub and and the old Susquehanna Bar & Grill.
Its nice that Disanferdinand thinks Dowses is a perfect ft for a
sleepy little town like West Pittston and that the Susquehanna was
another bar that ft perfectly here.
I would remind Disanferdinand that the world doesnt revolve
around West Pittston.
Both establishments are in Exeter.

There is a special beauty,
Abeauty which catches one eye!
That beautiful woman
Who gives birth to you,
Her ways and love,
Always faithful and true!
Amother will stand by your side,
She respects you with pride!
During this beautiful month of May,
We honor her on her day!
Remember, honor her,
You have no other,
They all, someway, seem to follow
The footsteps of our
Beloved Blessed Mother!
They help us with our school years,
They teach us how to pray,
They show us that tender loving care
In every abiding way!
They teach us how to form
Into dignifed women and men!
Yes, a mother has been in every situation,
She tops the scale with a 10!
Amother warns you
About your decisions,
Amother teaches you about life
Amother is very concerned,
When it is time for a child
To take a husband or a wife!
Amother is always there for you,
She has every heartfelt intention!
Amother, in my opinion,
is Gods greatest invention!
So if you are now in search
For never - ending Love,
Love that never ends,
Look no further than
Your very own Mom, Because,
Mothers Make Special Friends

MOTHER S DAZE
Love wins
I
m writing this column en route to my daugh-
ters college graduation. (Im not driving). Im
actually penning it on the only paper I could
unearth in my dumpster of a car: a Google map
leading right to a golf course in Virginia.
Ha.
I get some kind of sick satisfaction from defacing
this paper.
As the miles drone on and it becomes apparent
that incontinence is my middle name, I become a
tightly-wound ball of anxiety.
My daughter is almost 22 years old, but we moth-
ers all agree that our frst-born spawn is the one we
worry about the most.
By the halfway point, Ive convinced myself of
two things:
1.Having children has ruined my bladder plus its
overcoat, my stomach, forever and
2. My parenting over the last two
decades has not had an impressionable
effect on my daughter.
I agonize over whether shes ab-
sorbed all the lessons Ive forced upon
her which will propel her from her
matriculation directly into her big-girl
life of knowledge and happiness.
As we plow down Route 80, and af-
ter two more bathroom breaks, I obsess
about the things she needs to know, all
of the segments of our shared mother-
daughter tutorials that she probably fast
forwarded through in her mind, as I
do for any one of my husbands taped
favorites, such as The Shawshank Redemption or,
ick, Scarface.
But, here is what I know for sure:
I taught her from the time she could speak that this
world needs to be a place of equality and love and
color blindness.
Theres no need to describe a person in terms of
skin tone or orientation, ever. Were all what we are
born to be - people amongst people.
Live and let live.
I pray that by the time HER children are of an
age that they start storing their own seedlings of life
lessons, we may become a nation more tolerant of
differences and let everyone marry whomever they
want, even if its a bullfrog.
Live.
And let live.
I know Ive taught her to kill with kindness. She
had no choice amongst the bats in the horrifc belfry
that was high school.
Instead of allowing her to change schools, we
wanted her to learn to bypass ignorance and bully-
ing, to keep calm and carry on.
Smile and walk on by.
We thought this built strength and character and
prepared her for a life flled with such idiots. I hope
I was right.
I know I taught her that common courtesy and
decency are the currency with which to sail through
life.
Good manners open a door wider than ignorance
does.
You can turn around an ugly
situation with kind words,
parsed carefully and with ac-
curate aim.
And no throwing that fnger, ever.
Having said all that, Ive also taught her to not be
a doormat.
Be kind, but affrmative.
Gentle in your forcefulness.
Right a wrong and never tolerate intolerance.
And, here is an important lesson that my own
father handed down - Dont drink cheap liquor. No
need to further elaborate on that little gem.
I taught her to not make a promise she cannot
keep. No one ever enjoys or forgets a disingenuous
person.
Dont be that person.
Instead, choose integrity.
Shes been fortunate enough to
be gifted with a preponderance of
brains. I pray Ive taught her to
never, ever make anyone else feel
stupid, inept or less worthy.
Like her brothers. (Too late for
that, actually).
Ive taught her to treat the
people she loves with unparal-
leled kindness and a vastness of
respect. Dont speak to them in
any way that can be construed as
embarrassing or belittling.
Oh, except if he golfs.
Then all bets are off.
We sat at her graduation and I have to be honest
I was busy writing this column and playing Sudoku.
But I did catch one piece of wisdom doled out by
the guest speaker:
Life is not poetry. Its not fuid. It doesnt follow
a pattern. You dont know when it starts or stops. It
follows its own path, the way its meant to be. Fol-
low your path.
It made sense.
My daughter is a dynamic, phenomenal human
being whom I try to emulate every day. I mustve
done one or two things right.
Right?
Her life will follow the road its meant to, even if
its the road less travelled, the road with detours or
the narrow road.
She will succeed in this life, no matter how many
glaring parental faux pas I may have made or road
blocks I have unintentionally put in her way.
On the way out of Penn State, there was a banner
hanging in front of a church. It read: Love Wins.
It was a sign!
Love does win.
Maybe thats all she needed: -our love.
Maybe all these lessons, because they were
couched in so much love, will be forever written
upon her soul.
Love wins.
As do stronger bladder muscles.
By MARIAJIUNTAHECK
I agonize over
whether shes
absorbed all the
lessons Ive forced
upon her which will
propel her from her
matriculation directly
into her big-girl life of
knowledge and
happiness.
NUTRI TI ON
Carbs good and bad baggage
Many folks today are looking for the secret
ingredient to losing a few pounds.
Carbohydrates get a bad rap and are some-
times labeled as being the culprit for gaining
weight.
Its comfort food, mashed potatoes, macaroni
and cheese, stuffng and bread pudding.
Yes, you are right, if the portions arent controlled, one can
easily rack up the calories. There are two kinds of carbohydrates,
simple and complex. Each group comes with extra baggage, good
and bad.
The frst group, simple carbohydrates, are things like sugar,
sucrose and natures sugar found in fruit, fructose.
There is also the natural sugar found in milk, lactose along with
others.
Chemists call these monosaccharide and disaccharides.
The second group, complex carbohydrates, are found in foods
like pasta, potatoes, bread and rice. They contain starches and
fbers, both soluble and insoluble. Chemists call these polysac-
charides.
Why group these into different groups? It is because our bodies
break these down and absorb them in different ways. Complex
carbohydrates have an extra step in digestion.
First, our bodies need to digest polysaccharides into the disac-
charide maltose. Thats why when we eat complex carbohydrates,
our hunger pains are delayed when compared to simple carbohy-
drates.
Sucrose, table sugar, comes with little nutrient value other than
calories. It also causes dental cavities.
Check the nutrition label to see how much sucrose is in the food
you eat.
The other carbohydrates have vitamins and minerals, along with
fber.
These are healthy additions to the calories. Folks that need to
limit carbohydrates should consider getting them from fruits and
vegetables and whole grains. These foods contain lots of vitamins,
minerals and phytochemicals.
The USDAdietary guidelines encourage Americans to limit
complex carbohydrates to one quarter of the plate. Half of those
should be from whole grains. Other simple carbohydrates come
from one half the plates, which is fruits and vegetables.
If you are a son or daughter, why not celebrate this Mothers
Day by giving your mom a healthy carb dessert instead of candy.
Package it in a decorative tin or tray.
Its easy to make and sure to be a hit with Mom.

Exeter Borough Lions Club was founded in 1951
In 1917, a Chicago businessman
told members of his local busi-
ness club they should look beyond
business endeavors and serve their
communities.
Over the years, that same com-
munity spirit spread across the
country, reaching Exeter Borough
in 1951, as local businessman An-
gelo Russo became the frst presi-
dent of the Exeter Lions Club.
The Exeter Lions were spon-
sored by the Duryea Lions Club
and began serving the community,
focusing on sight conservation.
The club met at Anselmis Cafe
on Wyoming Avenue across from
the borough hall.
Lion Jack Brogan has been a
member for 59 years.
We used to go door to door sell-
ing brooms to raise funds, said
Brogan.
The Annual Lions Carnival was
the clubs biggest fundraiser for
many years, bringing in tens of

offenders in the community.
I want crime watch groups to
understand that as a magistrate I
know that Im the frst person that
deals with crime in our community
on a basic grassroots level, so I will
be available to them, she said. I
understand as an attorney how to
use the bail process to keep the
most violent offenders off the street
for as long as possible.
She also hopes to establish a
truancy program at the local court
level to work with schools to help
ensure kids are attending school
and help families deal with truancy.
After the Luzerne County cor-
ruption scandal, she volunteered
to work on the Youth Aid Panel
Program through the District Attor-
neys Offce.
Born and raised in Dupont, she
graduated from Scranton Prep in
2000. She received a bachelors de-
gree at Lehigh University and, after
several years off, she received her
law degree from Widner University
School of Law in 2009. After col-
lege, she served as an assistant to
former U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski in
Washington, D.C. After law school,
she served as law clerk to Lacka-
wanna County Court of Common
Please Judge Thomas J. Munley.
She currently serves as court-ap-
pointed Special Master presiding
over Family Court in Lackawanna
County.
She is married to Nick Kravitz,
formerly of Pittston. Her family has
resided in Dupont for many genera-
tions.
I understand the hard work it
takes and I also understand how
you give back to your community,
she said.
Jeffrey C. Kulick, 27, is young-
est of the announced candidates,
but said what he lacks in age, he
makes up for in dedication.
And a fresh face for the commu-
nity is a good thing, he said.
Kulick, of Hughestown, is affli-
ated with his older brother, John, in
the Kulick Law Firm in Exeter. He
serves as a solicitor for the Greater
Pittston YMCA.
I grew up in this area and
worked hard my whole life, he
said. From his landscaping job
when he was younger, to his law
practice with is brother, he said he
knows hard work.
I feel I can do this job with the
dignity and respect it requires, he
said.
I have my experience both in
and out of magisterial court, he
said. And county court, too, fam-
ily and criminal law. Everything
from criminal disputes to civil is-
sues
He said hes seen too many DUI
cases.
DUIs are so preventable, he
said. Programs that stress modera-
tion and common sense are needed,
but we really need to reach out to
the people before they get behind
the wheel drunk.
He promised to be impartial and
remain a full-time magisterial dis-
trict judge.
Ill give everyone a fair
chance, he said. You have to lis-
ten to everyone.
Kulick grew up in Hughestown
and graduated from Seton Catholic
in 2003. He received a criminal law
and justice degree from Penn State
University in 2007 and received his
juris doctorate from Thomas M.
Cooley Law School in Michigan
in 2010. He passed the bar exam in
both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
He is in general practice, focusing
on family and criminal law. He is
not married.
Qiana Murphy Lehman, 37,
said she has a strong concern for the
spread of drugs and gang violence
in the local community.
Theyre changing the scope of
our communities, she said. We
have a lot of small towns and the
criminals are using the smallness
and peacefulness as assets.
Lehman said she has both crimi-
nal and civil experience. She has
prosecuted cases for the Luzerne
County District Attorneys Of-
fce and has civil law experience
working at the law frm of Brady &
Grabowski in Wilkes-Barre.
Im running because I have the
qualifcations and experience to to
to do a good job, She said. I hope
to serve the community well.
She promises honesty, integrity
and fairness.
I offer a unique combination
of legal experience, excellent legal
education, and common sense, she
said. I have practiced law for 10
plus years, but have not abandoned
my common sense which serves
me, as a community leader, wife,
and mother of two.
She said she has the ability and
good judgment to use bail to help
protect the community.
I have to ask myself, is this per-
son a fight risk, does he have fami-
ly, she said. Should there be nom-
inal bail or ROR? Or should there
be a high bail for serious crimes?
Born and raised in Pittston Town-
ship, she graduated from Pittston
Area High School in 1993. She re-
ceived her undergraduate degrees
in theater and political science
from East Stroudsburg University.
She received her law degree from
the New School of Law in Boston
in 2003. She was in private prac-
tice in Pittston for two years then
joined the Luzerne County District
Attorneys Offce for three years.
She was a member of the Brady &
Grabowski Law Firm in Wilkes-
Barre for the past six and a half
years.
In 2003, she volunteered at the
Barbara J. Hart Justice Center, a
non-proft group associated with
the Womens Resource Center and
offered legal services to victims of
domestic violence and sexual as-
sault.
Lehman resides in Dupont with
her husband, David Lehman, and
their two children, Calder, 6, and
Covington Rose, 2.
I am not a politician, she said.
I dont come from a political fam-
ily and I will serve without any po-
litical strings.
Girard Jerry Mecadon, 48,
said Pittstons magisterial district
court is one of the busiest in Lu-
zerne County, and thats not in-

cluding the addition the three new
towns.
Its a busy offce and its only
going to get busier, Mecadon said.
Its a full-time job that Mecadon
said he is fully prepared to handle.
The public needs to have some-
one with experience who can deal
with all of the the issues, he said,
including preliminary hearings,
bail, truancy in school, municipal
codes, landlord tenant cases.
Mecadon decided to run because
its an area of the law hes always
been interested in.
I feel I can do a public service,
he said. Ive always been involved
with the community. He listed a
number of organizations he belongs
to, including the Lions, the Rotary,
UNICO, the Knights of Columbus
and the Holy Name Society of St.
Joseph Marello.
Mecadon said his qualifcations,
his experience and his record are
what sets him apart from other can-
didates.
Ive handled every type of case
that comes before a magistrate,
he said. And Im ready to hit the
ground running. Ive been doing
this for 22 years. Im ready to han-
dle it.
Born in Pittston Township, he
graduated from Seton Catholic
High School in 1983. He earned a
bachelor of science degree in busi-
ness management from the Uni-
versity of Scranton in 1987 and his
law degree from Widner University
School of Lawin Wilmington, Del.,
in 1990.
His frst legal job was a clerk in
the U.S. Attorneys Offce in Scran-
ton. He worked for a year in Phila-
delphia and returned home to pri-
vate practice work. He teamed with
current Luzerne County Court of
Common Pleas Judge Mike Vough
and subsequent has been in practice
on his own. He is also an assistant
public defender for Luzerne County
and serves on the board of direc-
tors of Greater Pittston Chamber of
Commerce.
He is married to the former
Christa DeVizia and they reside in
Jenkins Township.
I really think you need to look at
experience of all the candidates, he
said. And youll see I stand out.
James Red OBrien, 44, said
hes spent half of his life in public
service.
Terms as Mayor of Avoca, mem-
ber of the Pittston Area School
Board and the Luzerne County Re-
corder of Deeds make him ready
to serve as the magisterial district
judge for Pittston and the surround-
ing communities.
Ive had a strong sense of duty
and diligence my entire life, he
said. I hope to protect the safety
and security of the community.
OBrien is the only candidate
who didnt attend law school, but
he said his life experience makes
him uniquely qualifed.
I believe I can better relate to the
issues facing neighborhood, facing
seniors, facing families and facing
our children, he said.
He grew up as one of ten chil-
dren. I believe growing up in such
a big family opens your eyes to ful-
ly understand what life is about and
to respect one another.
He said he already took the state
class required of any non-practicing
lawyer to become a magisterial dis-
trict judge. He said he took the class
to learn more about the job.
I was proactive to see if I was
going to be able to handle it, he
said. Hell take the test in June if he
makes it past the primary election.
He said hell meet with com-
munity organizations, crime watch
groups and senior centers to let
them know whats happening in
their communities.
Born and raised in Avoca,
OBrien is a 1986 graduate of
PittstonArea High School. He stud-
ied business administration and in-
formation technology at LCCC and
Marywood University, but he never
received a degree.
He worked at FedEx for 5 years
and owned OBriens Pub and Grill
inAvoca for 7 years. He was Mayor
of Avoca for 3 years and was the
Luzerne County Recorder of Deeds
for 4 years until Home Rule did
away with the elected position.
He is currently unemployed and a
full-time father.
He is married to the former
Ann Snopkowski of Dupont and
they have a son, Seamus, 18, and
a daughter, Ella, 5. The family has
lived in Pittston for the past 10
years.
This job is all about using com-
mon sense, he said. I believe a
have a tremendous amount of com-
mon sense.
Len Sanguedolce, 34, has been
on the front line of the Marcellus
Shale natural gas boom, writing
opinions for some of the major
drillers in the region, including
Chesapeake, Exxon and Chief.
But, he said, his experience in the
law is extensive and his frst few
years in the legal profession were
spent in front of magisterial district
judges.
I feel like I have the experience
to do a good job, he said. Not just
in education, but in life. I have an
ability to be fair and independent.
He considers drugs to be a seri-
ous problem in this area.
Practically every crime we
have around here could be traced
to drugs, he said. We need to do
more to stop the violence.
He suggested rehabilitation pro-
grams are helpful and would en-
courage drug addicts that come be-
fore him to utilize them, especially
younger defendants.
He said if elected, he would con-
duct night court by request for peo-
ple who work during the day. He
said he would also close his private
practice and become a full-time
magistrate.
A lifelong resident of Greater
Pittston, he graduated from Se-
ton Catholic in 1997. He obtained
a bachelor of science degree in
economics from the University of
Scranton and a law degree from
Penn States Dickinson School
of Law in 2006. He opened a pri-
vate practice on Public Square in
Wilkes-Barre from 2006 to 2010
and moved the practice to Pittston
in 2011. While working for the gas
companies, he said he mostly writes
legal opinions before drilling is per-
formed.
He is married to the former Jenni-
fer Borget and they have two sons,
Lenny, 3, and Nicholas, 6 months.
Mark Singer, 50, said hes seen
it all.
From summary citations to capi-
tal murder cases, hes sat on both
sides of the table and said his expe-
rience sets him apart in this judicial
race.
Ive spent most of my profes-
sional life in a courtroom, he said.
I have an extensive legal back-
ground. Imwiser, more mature and
can hit the ground running.
Singer, of Hughestown, said he
would offer night court for those
employed during the day, primar-
ily for summary offenses, neighbor
disputes and minor civil matters.
He pledged he would be avail-
able 24-7 for local law enforcement
in signing warrants and arraigning
defendants and he will give up his
private legal practice to be a full-
time magisterial judge.
Singer served 16 years on the
Pittston Area School Board and led
the board in the wake of the county-
wide corruption scandal.
I was the face of the district af-
ter the scandals, he said. I said
there was a dark cloud over the
district and promised things would
get better. And things got better. We
go back into the business of educa-
tion.
Singer said hes the only law-
yer running who has defended and
prosecuted capital cases.
Ive prepared my whole life for
this position, Singer said.
A1980 graduate of Pittston Area
High School, he earned a degree in
history and political science from
the University of Scranton in 1984.
He graduated from the Dickinson
School of Law in 1987. His legal
career started in the Public Defend-
ers Offce in Lehigh County. He
served as an ADA in the Luzerne
County District Attorneys Offce
under Correale Stevens, Jerome
Cohen and Peter Paul Olszewski
Jr. He then went into private prac-

fix, a small state sales tax in-
crease would help. Every
school district is in trouble. The
state should raise the sales tax
one percent for education. That
would be fair to everybody. The
boards hands are tied. They can
only go to the property owners
and thats getting out of hand. I
wish I had an easy answer. We
have to look at everything.
Valenti said she and the other
non-incumbent candidates are
not privy to the contract nego-
tiations with the teachers, so she
really cant comment, except to
say, they have to settle.
Valenti said experience is her
greatest strength. In 20 years
on the Wyoming Area School
Board, she was president, secre-
tary and treasurer.
Nick DeAngelo
Nick DeAngelo served as trea-
surer and vice-president during
his eight years on the board, be-
fore he lost a close one in 2011
and he sees that experience as a
plus for his campaign. He has 38
years experience in the private
sector as a retail sales manager.
His three issues are the budget,
teachers contract and taxes.
He said he and his running
partner, Valenti, have been going
to meetings in the two years they
have been out of office.
DeAngelo said he is against
closing schools. Neighborhood
schools are one reason people
want to move to our district.
So, no. We dont want to close
schools. We want to keep class
sizes down. Some kids get lost
in big classes. Some need indi-
vidual attention. We dont want
to lose that.
He said the budget was about
$24 million when he was first
elected and now its $30 million.
How to slow that escalation and
slow the raising of taxes each
year is the challenge. Weve
go to look into everything in the
budget, he said.
DeAngelo, who was in the
minority when the last teachers
contract was approved, said that
while teachers deserve a fair
contract, if elected, and given
the opportunity, he would look
into having teachers contribute
to their health care premiums.
John Paul Bonin
A little over a year ago John
Paul Bonin, Kimberly Yochem
and Michael J. Brown were three
of a group of parents who got to-
gether to challenge the proposed
closing of the Sarah J. Dymond
Elementary School in Harding.
They all live in Harding and
have kids in Dymond.
Bonin said the Dymond num-
bers were done internally, not
externally, and that was a prob-
lem.
When we looked at the num-
bers, thats when we saw the is-
sues with the budget were dis-
trict-wide and decided to form
our team, Bonin said.
Bonin emphasized though the
team formed over Dymond, they
would vote to close it, or another
school if, an external analysis
showed a school could be closed
and benefit the taxpayers on
conditions of enrollment going
down and that it could be justi-
fied to the state.
The team has a campaign
based on what they call three
pillars of excellence: good
business management practices,
community involvement and
contracts.
Examples of the three are: 1.
Look at line items and perform
evaluations. 2. Get people with
ideas involved. Establish a fun-
nel of ideas from the bottom up.
Maybe go to borough meetings
to get people involve. 3. Cell
phones, the district has 44 cell
phones and the April bill was
$1,600.
In an email Bonin wrote,
With a combined forty years of
leadership and strategic finan-
cial business planning, we bring
new problem solving processes
and business management skills
for a better future.
As taxpayers, homeown-
ers and parents with six young
children in the district, we un-
derstand the need for financial
stability in our homes and in the
workplace.
As to the teachers contract
stalemate he said, We agree its
unfair they have been teaching
four years without a contract.
Michael Brown
Brown said his, Bonins and
Yochems education and work
experience are strengths. Bonin
has a Masters Degree in Busi-
ness Administration and as a
manager of business develop-
ment nationally in private in-
dustry he prepares yearly sales
budgets and strategies
Brown is employed as the
Operations Manager at Prebola
Enterprises, Inc. in Wyoming,
where he is responsible for im-
proving productivity, efficiency
and profitability
Yochem has a Bachelors De-
gree in Economics and a Mas-
ters Degree in Healthcare Ad-
ministration. She is an Account
Executive in Provider Network
Management
The first thing, Brown said,
would be to go through every-
thing, getting new quotes. Dal-
las changed bus companies and
saved $83,000. Every little bit
helps.
Brown said he goes to school
board meetings and often there
are only 30 people there. We
dont think everyone is aware of
whats going on. Wed like to get
more people at the meetings.
Kimberly Yochem
Yochem said Bonin can speak
for her on the issues as the went
over the budget together and are
running as a team. She did say it
is tough for the team to address
the teachers contract. There
are no numbers. We only know
what anybody else knows, so its
hard to know what we would do.
They should have a contract.
Ree Ree DeLuca
Though she was defeated in
the 2011 primary, DeLuca is not
deterred. She believes she could
make a difference on the board.
My three major issues are get-
ting the teachers and retirees to
contribute to their health care;
second, getting the teachers
contract settled and third trans-
parency to public so people
know whats going on.
This is what I think is im-
portant right now. I have three
in school and care a lot about
kids.
DeLuca has questions about
the Sarah J. Dymond school. Is
it true there are 12 rooms and
they only use six, whats the
cost of the insurance and fees on
sewage plant and how much is
the cost to bus and serve lunch
everyday.
Jerry Stofko
Jerry Stofko, a retired United
States Postal worker who is run-
ning on his own, didnt want to
comment for this story.
Stofko missed a ballot posi-
tion in the 2011 primary by 1.25
percent on the Democrat side
and by 48 votes on the Repub-
lican side.

FACTS OF
LAW
Brought to you as a paid public service by
the Law Ofces of Dominick P. Pannunzio,
294 Main Street, Dupont, 655-5541
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
A new law says its illegal for broadcasters
and pay TV providers to air excessively loud
commercials. The FCC says all ads must
maintain the same average volume as the
programs they accompany.
***
A federal appeals court has ruled that
federal law didnt protect text messages
and pictures stored on a Texas womans
personal phone from the prying eyes of
her employers. The U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Fifth Circuit held that the Stored
Communications Act, a federal law
aimed at guarding against intrusions on
individual privacy, doesnt apply to data
stored on a cell phone, In doing so, the
three-judge panel spiked a 2010 lawsuit
fled by a former police dispatcher in Laredo,
Texas, who was fred after her superiors
reviewed text messages and images on her
phone that revealed an extramarital affair.
***
The Whistleblower Protection
Enhancement Act has recently been signed
into law. The law revamps protections for
federal employees who come forward and
report misconduct, abuse of authority, or
violation of law in their workplaces.
***
Floridas law telling drivers who blast their
car stereos loudly to turn it down is an
unconstitutional restriction of free-speech
rights, the Florida Supreme Court has ruled.
He also served as solicitor to the
Luzerne County Prothonotary, and
taught criminal procedure and law
at Luzerne County Community Col-
lege. Hes also served as First As-
sistant Liaison to the Lower Lacka-
wanna/Upper Luzerne County Drug
Task Force.
He is married to the former Ann
(Heidi Lee) Baldyga-Surwilla, for-
merly of Kingston. They have one
daughter, Anjelica Nicola, 13, a stu-
dent at Pittston Area Middle School.
He said he hopes to uphold the
standards of past Pittston magis-
trates Luzerne County Court of
Common Pleas Judge Fred Pieran-
toni and Senior Judge Joseph Aug-
ello.
I feel its my time to run and
hopefully I have the support of the
people.

You just cant keep a Steeler fan down
F
rancesco Stuppino and
Maureen Noone had been
open less than two years
at Cuzs Susquehanna Av-
enue Bar & Grille in Exeter when
their Pittsburgh Steelers-themed
business was destroyed by fre on
April 30, 2012.
On Thursday talking in the
gleaming new Steelers bar they
opened next door to the fre site
Stuppino talked about how he felt
after the fre, I didnt know what
to do. I didnt know if I wanted to
reopen. Then I got these letters, he
said pointing at one wall of the bar
where framed, hand-written letters
from Steelers owner Art Rooney
and former linebacker legend Jack
Lambert are displayed.
The Lambert letter reads, Heard
you had some bad luck. Pick your-
self up and get back in the fght.
Rooney and Lambert learned
about the fre from a story that was
picked up by the Pittsburgh Post
Gazette. Their letters put Stuppino
in action. I fgured if I reached so
many peoples lives with a tiny bar,
I must be doing something right.
Though among the memorabilia
lost in the fre were autographed
photos and jerseys of former
Steelers Jerome Bettis, Jack Ham,
Mean Joe Greene and RodWood-
son; Western PA native, Joe Mon-
tana; and the late Pittsburgh Pirates
star Roberto Clemente, Stuppino,
with the help of the Steelers largest
fan club the Steel City Mafa, has
rebuilt his memorabilia collection.
Among the displays are three
seats from the Steelers old home,
Three Rivers Stadium; one of 53
lockers from the vistors locker
room with game-worn jerseys
Two grand opening weekends slated at restored Cuzs Susquehanna Bar & Grille
By JACKSMILES
Art outside Cuzs bar, shown here, and inside was created by Steelers fan Bob Stretch Lewis.

hanging inside; one of six com-
memorative Super Bowl helmets
signed by Ben Roethlisberger; a
Heinz Ward autographed jersey
and thats just the tip of a black and
gold iceberg.
Most of the art, including the
Steeler swirl motif on the outside
wall and the Pittsburgh skylines
on inside the rest rooms were cre-
ated by Pittston artist Bob Stretch
Lewis.
The architect on the project was
Lynn Kesselman. Donnie Pagnato
and Jim White did most of the con-
struction work, including building
a bar from scratch. The job took
seven months.
Stuppino and Noone had a qui-
et opening last week. Two grand
opening weekends are scheduled
for May 17, 18 and 19 and 24, 25,
26 with retired Steelers coming in
to meet customers and sign
On the 17th retired Steelers
Chris Hoke and Ronin Cole will be
at Cuzs. Yancey Thigpen and J.T.
Thomas will be there on the 18th
and Jason Gildon on the 19th.
On the 24th Frenchy Fuqua, the
self-proclaimed French Count
who was the intended receiver on
the legendary Immaculate Recep-
tion play in the 1972 AFC playoff
game will be at Cuzs. Fuqua
was a fashy dresser as a player
who wore mini-aquariums with
colorful live fsh in high-heeled
shoes to match his outfts.
Greg LLoyd, Andy Russell and
Louie Lipps are scheduled for the
25th and Dwayne Woodruff for the
26th. Stuppino said a food vendor
who travels nationwide told him
Cuzs is a top Steelers-decorated
bar in the country.
Cuzs, which can seat 90, has a
main bar with six taps and a side
bar called Cuzs Corner. He is serv-
ing food, pizza, burgers and wings
for starters, and has Steeler-motif
menus on order.
Stuppino and Noone have
opened bars in the past, but always
in established places. This is the
frst time we ever had anything
new, he said.
Cuzs bar is literally wall-to-wall Steelers displays.
Cuzs corner displays items personalized to Stuppino.

John J. Terrana
400 Tird Avenue, Kingston

Its You Against Te Little Old Lady
Pennsylvanias Rules of Evidence
prohibit an injured party (plaintiff)
from informing the jury that the
defendant in a civil case has
insurance to pay the verdict. The
reasoning behind the Rule is to
keep the jury focused on the facts
of the case, instead of on the
issue of how much insurance the
defendant carries. Its also feared
that the jury will award a runaway
verdict if it thinks a large insurance
company is going to pay it on
behalf of the defendant.
The Rules practical effect,
however, is to make the jury think
that the little old lady, or young
college student, sitting in front of
it will have to personally pay the
plaintiff any verdict thats awarded.
This can lead to an unfair verdict,
since the jury will be reluctant to
award a large verdict if it thinks
it will nancially destroy the
defendants life.
Many facts in a case are
purposefully kept from juries for
fear that the jury will be prejudiced
or swayed by such knowledge.
Perhaps its time juries hear the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth.

The Exeter Lions Club in 1978. The club, founded in 1951, is still active in its 62nd year.
thousands of dollars annually, said
Len Bonfanti.
In those days, the clubs major
project was distributing food bas-
kets to the needy. Bonfanti, a Lion
Club member for 35 years, said the
club has done much to improve the
community over the years.
The club built the clubhouse at
the Panthers football feld, spon-
sors the Little League and built the
Lions Park. Brogan recalled an oc-
casion years ago when a young boy
from Exeter needed eye surgery in
Philadelphia. The family could not
afford to travel so the Lions Club
donated $5,000 to make the trip
possible.
That same spirit of community
service is still alive in the club to-
day.
The club helps support Boy
Scouts, American Legion, Leader
Dogs, SalvationArmy and eye con-
servation programs such as the Eye
Bank and White Cane collections.
To Serve is our mission, says
Lion Toni Valenti.
In 2004, Valenti was the frst
woman to join the Exeter Lions and
has served as the club president.
Today, the Exeter Lions Club has
13 women among its 38 members.
Many of the current Lions have
a historical connection to the club.
Lion Rich Anselmis father, Ettore,
was one of the clubs original mem-
bers. Lion Michael Burke was a re-
cipient of the Exeter Lions Clubs
generosity.
When Burke, who is hearing im-
paired, was in high school, the club
gave him medical equipment that
allowed him to communicate bet-
ter with his teachers. After graduat-
ing from college, Burke joined the
Lions so he could give back to the
community that helped him.
Seeing her neighbor receive a
service dog because of the Lions
led Audrey Kurz to get involved.
I am just happy to serve and
give back to the community, she
said.
The club is always looking to in-
crease it memership and fundrais-
ing is also challenging.
Gone are the days of the carni-
vals and the clubs signature fun-
draiser, a Night at the Races, has
been postponed until fall, hoping
the state legislature passes legisla-
tion to allow the fundraiser to oc-
cur.
Brogan says a lot has changed
over the years, but the Lions mis-
sion to serve the community has
remained strong. He is proud of all
the Lions Club has accomplished
in his nearly six decades with the
club.
We have left our mark on Ex-
eter and are still leaving it, he said.

gathering with her sisters for movie night or for a shopping
trip.
Lauren, a 10th grade student at Pittston Area, has a mul-
titude of interests, including dance and gymnastics. But this
time of the year fnds her most often at the track practicing
pole vaulting.
Ive been trying to learn some new techniques and get
better at it, said Lauren.
Shawn, a junior accounting major at Kings, said his par-
ents often offer him good advice, but then allow him to
make his own decisions. My dad did talk to me about what
I might major, and then I chose accounting, he said.
All of the Senese children have a balance of academic and
extracurruclar pursuits.
For example, said Glenn, smiling, my wife made sure
all the children could swim and the boys are all life guards.
Throughout the lives of all her children, Debbie was quick
to support their efforts in a variety of areas. She said she
spent a lot of time in the car just getting them where they
needed to go.
Deb, a medical technologist, loves her part-time job, but
admits her children are never far from her mind.
I feel that having a parent at home gives children a sense
of stability and consistency, she said. But, when we are not
here, the kids are pretty good about cooking for themselves.
Debbies cooking skills are highly valued by her family,
as echoed in her son Michaels good word for her mac and
cheese.
Nobody can make mac and cheese like my mom, said
Michael, 18, the perfect recipe, the perfect mom.
The Seneses are also united by their faith. All attend
church at Our Lady of Mount Carmel on a regular basis
making Sunday a special day.
When asked about their vision for the future, both Glenn
and Debbie said they simply want to move forward doing
what they have always done in a spirit of love.
It seems to be working.

Either way, according to Wyo-
ming Area athletic director Joe
Pizano, the Wyoming Area se-
niors are the two best all-around
athletes Ive seen in the 15 years
Ive been here.
A search for more versatile
athletes than Degnan or OBrien
at WyomingArea might go deep-
er into the past than 15 years, or
even back to the beginning, but
in any case Pizano put it this
way. If we sent them out to play
ping-pong theyd be the best
ping-pong players. If we had a
curling team, my money would
be on them.
The parallels between the
two are many. Both are all-star
caliber three-sport athletes, plus
one. Degnan has been a starter
at the most important positions:
in feld hockey, forward; basket-
ball, point guard; and softball,
short stop; since she was a fresh-
man. When she can ft it in she
runs sprints for the track team
between softball games.
OBrien, as the schools all-
time leading rusher, is best
known as a football player, but
he also wrestles in the winter,
where he qualifed for districts,
and plays centerfeld in baseball
in the spring and also runs sprints
for the track team.
Hes the no. 1 seed in the 100
in District 2 AAAand no.2 in the
200 and javelin.
Both made all-state, she in
feld hockey, he in football. Both
are going to D-1 schools, he,
Bucknell for football, and she,
Syracuse for feld hockey.
Both are considered small for
high-level athletes. Shes 5-3,
hes 5-9. But both are all-out,
dirty-uniform hustlers with in-
stincts, game smarts and speed.
Wyoming Area baseball coach
Chick Andrewscavage said of
OBrien, God gave him some-
thing.
Asked about Degnan, softball
coach Barry Pryzbyla said, She
can hit with power, shes got
speed. He laughed aloud talking
about her felding, saying, She
plays her position with unbeliev-
able skill.
One parallel between Degnan
and OBrian is uncanny. One
week early in the spring OBrien
hit a home run in a baseball game
and then a couple days later went
over to the track and won the 100
and 200 sprints, setting a school
record in the 200.
As if challenged, a couple
weeks later Degnan hit a home
run in a softball game and then a
couple days later went over to the
track and won the 200.
Degnan is fattered by the
comparison, but doesnt put her-
self in OBriens class. Hes
amazing. In football he plays
every position. Hes the talk of
the football nation. I guess were
kind of alike, we both play a lot
of sports and we do fairly well in
them. Im kind of like the girls
version of him, but hes much
better than me.
OBrien said Degnan gets his
attention. Me and Serra have
been friends since 7th grade. Ive
seen her play and Ive always
been impressed by what she can
do. It seems like shes the top girl
around the area and its fun to
watch her play.
Pizano said having the pair of
once-in-a-generation athletes in
the same high school class has
been a great for Wyoming Area
above their obvious athleticism.
Theyre coachable, theyre re-
spectful and theyre dedicated.
Sports
Serra Degnan and Nick OBrien may be the two most versatile athletes ever at Wyoming
Area.

Lady Warriors need help to catch Berwick
T
hough they won their only
game of the week, beating
Dallas 9-3, the Wyoming
Area Lady Warriors need
help to repeat as WVC Division 2
champions.
Right now the standings of the
top three teams are: Berwick 10-2,
Wyoming Area 9-4, Tunkhannock
8-4.
Wyoming Area has one game
left, tomorrow at home versus Ber-
wick on Senior Day. Berwick and
Tunkhannock each have two games
left.
Berwick plays at Crestwood (4-
10) on Wednesday. Tunkhannock
is home versus Dallas (4-8) on
Monday and at Lake Lehman (3-9)
Tuesday.
The best that can happen for
Wyoming Area is a tie for the top
spot, if they beat Berwick tomor-
row and Crestwood upsets Berwick
Wednesday. A three-way tie is pos-
sible, too.
But even if that doesnt happen,
theres plenty of incentive to win
Monday against Berwick.
Its Senior Day and by winning
WA could improve its chances of
fnishing third in the District 2AAA
standings and getting a home games
in the frst couple rounds of the Dis-
trict 2 playoffs on Monday, May 20.
In the win over Dallas Alex Holtz
pitched a complete game and struck
out six. Adrianne Pryzbyla was
3-for-4.
Her bases loaded double into the
left feld corner in the sixth drove in
three runs. Nicole Turner had three
hits and scored twice, Bree Bednar-
ski had two hits and scored twice
and Kaitlyn Kross had a double.
Pittston Area was shutout twice.
Hazletons Becky Demko threw
a three-hitter in a 10-0 fve-inning
game Monday at Hazleton as HA
clinched at least a tie for the WVC
Division 1 title. On Thursday HA
(13-1) won again and clinched the
title.
Alyssa Talerico pitched four in-
nings and had a double for Pittston
Area.
On Friday at home PAlost to Val-
ley West 8-0. Taylor Baloga had a
double and single for Pittston Area.
Alyssa Talerico had two hits and
Antoinette Scialpi had a double.
PA is 2-12 with one game left on
Monday versus Crestwood (5-8.)
The D2 AAA playoffs are open.
PAwill open on road.

Bart Chupka led the charge during the 3rd inning by getting two hits including a
double.
Marty Micheals slides into home for the Warriors during the explosive 8-run
third inning.
Warriors go into Saturday with title shot
Before Wyoming Area played
its Senior Day game Thursday, the
Warriors had another reason to cel-
ebrate.
Dallas defeated Tunkhannock,
7-3, Tuesday, putting the Warriors
back in control of their own destiny
in the Wyoming Valley Conference
Division 2 baseball race.
The Warriors were scheduled for
Saturday afternoon at Tunkhannock
with a chance to take the division
lead going into their fnal regular-
season game.
The game was too late for dead-
line.
Going into the Saturday game
WA was 8-4 and Tunkhannock,
8-3. WA has one game left, assum-
ing they werent rained out Satur-
day, and Tunkhannock two. WAhas
Dallas Monday, while Tunkhan-
nock plays Holy Redeemer.
Tunkhannock has an unscheduled
make up with Lake Lehman, which
will have to be played this week.
Wyoming Area entered the week
needing an additional Tunkhannock
loss, even if the Warriors won all
three of their remaining games, in
order to have a title chance.
The Warriors got the help, then
began trying to take care of their
end by winning in their frst game
in six days.
Chupka, one of the seniors being
honored, had a triple, double and
single while driving in four runs in
a 10-0, six-inning win over Lake-
Lehman.
The Warriors used an eight-run
second inning to take charge. They
then fnished off the game early on
the 10-run rule by pushing across
the fnal run in the sixth inning.
Mike Carey and Jeremy Zezza
shut out Lake-Lehman. Carey
struck out fve while allowing six
hits and a walk in 4 2/3 innings.
Zezza struck out two in 1 1/3 hit-
less innings.
Jake Granteed went 2-for-3
while Erik Walkowiak was 1-for-
3 with two runs and two RBI for
Wyoming Area.
Pittston Area 9
Crestwood 2
The pitching of Matt Mott and
the hitting of Josh Razvillas and Pat
McGinty carried Pittston Area to a
9-2 victory at Crestwood Tuesday.
Mott struck out six in a six-hitter
to help the Patriots to their third win
of the season.
He walked just one.
Razvillas continued to spark the
offense fromhis leadoff spot. He hit
a home run and scored twice while
driving in two runs.
McGinty had two hits and drove
in three runs.
Hazleton Area 1
Pittston Area 0
The Patriots got another out-
standing pitching performance
Thursday before falling, 1-0, at Ha-
zleton Area, the second-place team
in Division 1.
Michael Schwab threw a one-
hitter for Pittston Area (3-10), but
Joey Baran and Sal Biasi combined
to do the same for Hazleton Area.
The Cougars improved their
chances of repeating as champion
when they took advan-
tage of two errors by

fourth inning.
Schwab struck out
nine.
Baran struck out 11 in

in a traffc accident on I-84 while re-
turning from a track camp at Brown
University in Rhode Island, where
Brian, who would have been a PA
senior that fall, had been awarded a
scholastic/athletic scholarship.
Five years ago some of his friends
and Pittston Area teammates, in-
cluding Kevin OBoyle who spoke
at a vigil for Cashmere at Charley
Trippi Stadium the Sunday after he
was killed, and Tim Cotter, who like
Cashmere was a Brown scholarship
athlete, started a golf tournament
to raise money for a scholarship in
Cashmeres name through the Lu-
zerne Foundation.
The 5th Annual Brian Cashmere
Memorial Golf Tournament is June
1 at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club.
Check in is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
with a shotgun start set for 1:30 p.m.
The cost is $100 per golfer.
The format is four person captain
and crew. Dinner and an awards cer-
emony, including the awarding of
the annual Brian Cashmere Schol-
arship will take place following the
golf round. The registration deadline
is May 25.
The event will feature prizes and
awards, longest drive, closest to the
pin, and much more. For further in-
formation or for sponsorship infor-
mation, please call 570-362-3269, or

Lady Patriots win division title with undefeated mark
DElieso, OBrien top seeds in boys District 2 championships
In March, PittstonArea girls track
and feld coach Joe Struckus knew
he had a good team. It turned out to
be better than he thought. Yes, they
exceeded all expectations, he said.
Hazleton and Dallas were seen as
the teams to beat and they were the
teams to beat for the Lady Patriots.
They defeated Tunkhannock ear-
lier in the season and Dallas, 85-65,
on Tuesday to fnish the regular sea-
son at 7-0 and as WVC Division 1
champions. When 2013 goes on the
girls track championship banner in
the gymnasium, it will be the frst
addition in 25 years.
Struckus said the team clinched
the meet, the undefeated season and
division title, when Emily Waleski,
Tiffany Tubioli, and Olivia Lanza
swept the 300 hurdles.
There was a lot of joy after the
meet but no big celebration. They
were excited and happy, but treated
it like any other meet, becasue they
have one more to go.
Hes referring to the District
2 championships on Tuesday at
Scranton Memorial Stadium start-
ing at 3 p.m. The WVCtitle is an ac-
complishment, but winning a WVC
D2 team tile would sweet icing.
Catherine Lombardo and Madi-
son Mimnaugh are tied for the no.
1 seed in the 800 run at 2:20. Mim-
naugh is no. 5 in the 1600. Olivia
Giambra is no. 1 in the long jump
and no. 3 in the triple.
Lombardo, Mimnaugh, Tara
Johnson and Samantha Mayers are
no. 2 in the 4 x 800 relay and Lom-
bardo, Mimnaugh, Johnson and Al-
lie Barber are no. 2 in the 4 x 400
relay.
The 400 relay team is a top fve
seed. Emily Waleski and Tiffany
Tuboloi are top eight in the 300
hurdles
Were going to pretty good,
Stuckus said. The toughest op-
ponents are Abington, Dallas and
Hazleton.
In the win over Dallas Mimnaugh
ran the 1600-meter run in 5 minutes
and 4 seconds to set a school record
and Lombardo lowered the 800 re-
cord running 2:20.2
Mimnaugh ran a leg of the 1600
relay team. Pittston Area swept the
relays.
Also winning for PA were: Lom-
bardo, Katilynn Kuchta, Tara John-
son and Samantha Mayers in the
3200 relay; Olivia Lanza, 100 hur-
dles; Mayers, 400; Jamie Chisdock,
Barber, Sierra Williams and Taylor
Powers, 400 relay; Waleski, 300
hurdles; Lauren Senese, pole vault;
Giambra, long jump; Lombardo,
800; Waleski, Mayers, Barber and
Mimnaugh, 1600 relay.
Scoring for PA were Tubioli,
Abby Sheerer, Siera Williams, Eas-
tin Ashby, Allison Parrent and Celes
Owens.
Wyoming Area 105,
Meyers 43
Samantha Acacio won the triple
jump for the Warriors. Haley Stack-
house won the 100 hurdles and
long jump, as the Lady Warriors
won their fnal meet to fnish 3-4.
Also winning for WA were: Audrey
Hiedacavage, Marcyssa Brown,
Malloy, Emily Shemanski, Katelyn
Kraynak, Gabrielle Alberigi and
Danielle Stillarty, Alexa Malloy,
Danielle Bulger and Maya Custer,
1600 relay.
Scoring for WA were Maddy
Ambruso, Carrie Poziac, Val Bott,
Melissa Kazmerick and McKenzie
Bilbow.
For the District championships
Haley Stackhouse is seeded no. 1 in
the high jump and no. 2 in the 100
hurdles and long jump. Emily Sh-
emanski is top 10 in the 300 hurdles.
Marcyssa Brown, who is tied for
the fourth seed in the high jump,
could be a sleeper in the triple jump.
BOYS
Pittston Area 75,
Dallas 75
Jayson Crawford (high jump,
long jump) and Ronnie DEliseo
(110 hurdles, 300 hurdle) fnished
frst in two events for the Patriots in
the tie with the Mountaineers. It was
the second tie for the Patriots this
season. They fnished 1-4-2.
Also winning for PA were Mike
Harth, Austin Naples and Naples,
DEliseo, Joshua John, and Harth,
1660 relay.
For The District 2 championships
DEliseo is no. 1 in both hurdle
events, by a full second in the 110s
at 14.5. In the 300s he is seeded at
38.40. Hes the only hurdler in the
feld below 40.00. The meet record
is 38.25.
Wyoming Area 76,
Meyers 74
The Warriors used sweeps in the
3200 run and javelin to edge the
Mohawks by two points. Zachery
LaNunziata took frst in the triple
jump and long jump for Wyoming
Area. Michael Lumley earned frst
with a pole vault of 9 feet. The War-
riors fnished 6-1, one point behind
Northwest 7-0. Northwest beat WA
back in week one. No excuses of-
fered but the Warriors were weak-
ened by injuries and suspensions
that week.
Also winning for WAwere: Con-
dry, 100 hurdles, OBrien, 100;
Vasquez, 1600; Lumley, pole valut;
Burton, discus; Filipak, 3200; Trent
Grove, javelin.
Grove came over from the base-
ball team to throw the jav because
OBrien has an injured shoulder and
Grove won it, throwing a top 10 dis-
tance for districts.
OBrien is seeded no. 1 in the 100
at 10.8 and in the javelin. Hes no.
2 in the 200. Hes been resting the
shoulder and is expected to give it a
throw on Tuesday.
Burton is 7th in the discus and
Schmitz is seventh in the long jump.
The 4 x 100 teams from both WA
and PAare in the top eight.

Ad u l t s
who are
managers
and coach-
es in Little
League or
other types
of youth
baseball often talk about how
few boys play baseball com-
pared with the past.
Well, if heres a look deep
into the past, back 100 years,
and its not going to make the
coaches feel any better about
the shortage of players.
In 1913 a Greater Pittston
area Sunday School League
was formed. The Wyoming
Methodist, Baptist and Presby-
terian churches, the same three
in West Pittston plus and the
Congregational; the Pittston
First Baptist, First Presbyte-
rian, M.E. Methodist, Congre-
gational, Welsh Baptist and
Melanie Chapel; Hughestown
St. Peters Lutheran and the
Avoca Primitive Methodist and
Langcliffe Presbyterian entered
teams in the league.
Thats 16 Sunday schools.
They formed 31 teams for play-
ers 12 and up in two age divi-
sions, 16 and under and over
16. The 16 Sunday schools
formed 31 teams with a total of
675 players, an average of 21
per team.
They 30-plus game sched-
ules.
They didnt have smart-
phones in 1913. Heck, they
didnt even have TV and radio.
Some homes didnt even have
electricity. But kids played tons
of baseball.
Local players
hot in college ball
Rob Lemoncelli, a Kings
College senior from Pittston
Area, had a heck of a season
and career playing short stop
for the Monarchs.
He made the MAC All-
Freedom team this season. In
31 starts, Lemoncelli batted
.320 (40-125) as the Monarchs
leadoff hitter with 13 doubles,
two home runs, 26 RBI and 28
runs. He was 6-for-7 in stolen
bases. At shortstop he had a ca-
reer-best .956 felding percent-
age, making only seven errors
in 160 chances.
Career-wise Lemoncelli bat-
ted .310 (160-516) with fve
home runs, 34 doubles, 78 RBI,
108 runs scored, and 24-of-29
steal attempts.
His best game might have
been against Manhattanville on
April 14 when he had a triple
and home run, four RBI and
two runs.
Another player with local
ties excelling at a local college
is Corey Gorman. Gorman, a
left handed pitcher from Lafin
and Coughlin high school, had
an landmark season for Scran-
ton University. He was named
the Landmark Conference
Pitcher of the Year.
Gorman is the frst Scranton
pitcher to be selected Land-
mark pitcher of the year in the
six-year history of the confer-
ence.
His 3-4 record doesnt tell
the story but his 78 strikeouts
and 22 walks in 63 1/3 innings
does. He ranked ninth nation-
ally in NCAAD-III this season
in strikeouts per nine innings at
11.08.
In his career he struck out
227 in 194 1/3 innings, a rate of
10.5 per nine innings. His fast-
ball is consistently in the 90s.
In fve of his 10 starts this
season he had a loss or no-de-
cision where he pitched six or
more innings allowing three or
fewer runs.
In his career he started 34
games and won 15 with seven
complete games. He was the
Landmark Conference Pitcher
of the Week twice and made
the Landmark Conference Aca-
demic Honor Roll in 2012.
He is the son of Joe and Terri
Gorman of Lafin, formerly
from Port Griffth.
Help for Legion baseball
A couple weeks ago the
Greater Pittston American Le-
gion baseball team made a plea
for a sponsor because the pro-
gramhas enough kids to fll two
senior teams, but not enough
money to run them. Now they
do thanks to Highland Manor
in Exeter which signed on a a
fourth sponsor with Metcalf
and Shaver Funeral Home,
Herman Chiropractic and Atty.
Mike Butera.

from Northeastern Pennsylvania
and other states making their way

The Susquehanna Stride is the

offering a 5K and Half Marathon.
Runners will be challenged
by taking on the hills of Pittston
while taking in the beauty of the

right along it.
We wanted to offer more than
just a 5K but nothing compared to
the Steamtown Marathon, said
Craig Lukatch, CEO of the Great-
er Pittston YMCA.
We are very excited for the
Stride. We have about 100 runners
so far from all over the area and
the east coast.
The 5K starts outside of the
Greater Pittston YMCA, moving
into Hughestown, coming back
into Pittston and fnishing at the
Greater Pittston YMCA.
The Half Marathon starts with
the 5K, then continuing to move
into Jenkins Township, coming
back into Pittston and ending at
the Y.
We have been working with
all the cities in making sure ev-
eryone is aware that we will have
runners on the roads. We are ask-
ing all drivers to be very cautious
when driving through Pittston,
Hughestown and Jenkins Town-
ship on the morning of the Stride.
If you see runners please slow
down and try to move over if you
can, said Lukatch.
Volunteers are greatly needed
to make sure this event is a great
success.
We are offering all of our vol-
unteers great incentives to say
thank you for helping us out. Ev-
ery volunteer will receive a cus-
tom Stride T-shirt, a one-month
pass to the Yand a $25 gift certif-
cate to the Y, said Lukatch.
Pre-registration for the Stride is
any day before the race.
The 5K is $35, Half Marathon
is $50.
Registration for the race will be
held fromnoon to 5 p.m. on Satur-
day, May 25 at the Y.
Runners are asked to arrive at
the Y between 6 am to 7:30 a.m.
on race day. They can pick up a
registration form at the Y or sign
up online at www.greaterpitt-
stonymca.org.

online or contact Robert Duliba,
Mission and Membership De-
velopment Director, at rduliba@

sor of the race for the past two
years. Their support aids in pull-
ing of the Susquehanna Stride

sors. Sponsorships are still avail-
able. Call the YMCA for more

PEEKING INTO
THE PAST
With Judy Minsavage
Mine blasting
under Main St.
issue in 1947
Question:
In a 1947 survey,
it was revealed that
Pittston had 114 of
these. What were
they?
1947 66 YEARS
AGO
Pittston residents formed a Property
Owners Association, born of the con-
cernover heavy mine blasts takingplace
under South Main Street. The associa-
tion planned to form a committee to at-
tend school board and council meetings
in the interest of taxpayers. Merchants
supported the idea as Pittston was cited
as the only community in the Greater
Pittston area that did not have an asso-
ciation to advocate for residents.
After months of being closed for ren-
ovations, the Comerford Company re-
opened the Pastime Theatre in Duryea
in May 1947. Improvements included
new restrooms, lighting and facade.
The theatre opening was highlighted
by the showing of the Al Jolson Story.
The lm was a tremendous nancial
success and won Academy Awards for
Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Pic-
ture and Best Sound/Recording and
was nominated for Best Actor in a
Leading Role, Best Actor in a Support-
ing Role, Best Cinematography, Color
and Best Film Editing
Members of Dupont 210 Sportsmens
Club, Troop 361 Boy Scouts of Ameri-
can and a group of high school students
planted 1,000 trees at Smiths Pond.
Named after Harrison Smith, chair-
man of the Sportsmens Club Camp
of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the
pond was a favorite of local sherman.
George Pearage, local camp chair-
man, planned to use the area to instruct
youngsters on forest conservation and
protection of wild game.
1957 56 Years Ago
Train trafc on the DL &W Railroad
was held up for more than ve hours
after a massive tractor trailer plunged
over an embankment on South Main
Street in Duryea. The truck sideswiped
the wall of a railroad overpass, careened
through an iron guardrail and plunged
20 feet over a concrete embankment,
wedging itself against railroad tracks.
While investigating the accident,
Duryea Police Sgt. Joseph Wycallis
proclaimed the two occupants who
survived the crash as fortunate for. if
the truck had been carrying cargo, the
weight would have possibly crushed
the cab. The impact of the truck strik-
ing the railroad bed moved tracks ve
inches out of line.
Army Pvt. SamGiamber, of Pittston,
participated in Exercise Sledge Ham-
mer with the 1st Armored Division in
Louisiana. The maneuver was designed
to test the combat readiness of the new-
ly-formed Pentomic Division. In the
late 1950s, the Army reorganized each
infantry division into ve battle groups
in preparation for tactical nuclear war
in Europe. These groups were large bat-
talions containing ve rie companies,
a combat support company, appropriate
eld artillery and service support. The
battle groups were self-sustaining. The
division structure was abandoned in
the early 1960s when the Army adopted
for all divisions the combat command
organization of the armored division.
1967 46 YEARS AGO
Demolition workers razing the for-
mer home of the Greater Pittston Ma-
sonic Temple on Water Street thought
they discovered a treasure when they
found a locked copper box among the
debris. Upon prying open the contain-
er, the men found copies of the Valley
Lodge Magazine, a 1900 Jubilee edi-
tion of the Pittston Gazette and a photo
and story of the building being razed.
In 1919, the Masonic Building Associa-
tion purchased the former Music Hall
building on the Water Street site. Dur-
ing the remodeling, they had placed the
box into the cornerstone.
Detatos Supermarket planned the
construction of a new store at the cor-
ner of North Main and New Streets,
a block away from its existing site. A
30,000 square foot brick building was
designed with 17,500 square feet of

The
Patience
of Edgar
West Pittston native tells story
of coal carving great-grandfather
I
n her book Created To Be Free:
A Historical Novel About One
American Family, West Pittston
native Dr. Juanita Patience Moss
tells the real story of her great-grand-
father Crowder Pacien.
She calls the book a novel because
Moss can only surmise what Paciens
life was like before 1864 when the
18-year-old slave walked away from a
sweet potato plantation in North Car-
olina and joined an all-white Union
Army regiment of the 103rd Pennsyl-
vania Volunteer Infantry and what his
experience was like in the 14 months
he served.
What is known is sometime after
his discharge at Harrisburg in June,
1865, Patiens name was changed to
Crowder Patience. He worked as a
teamster in Mechanicsburg when he
delivered horses to West Pittston and
decided to stay and he became the
grandfather of Harold and Charles
Edgar Patience, anthracite coal sou-
venir crafters and sculptors fromWest
Pittston.
The fourth and sixth sons of Harry
Patience, the son of Crowder Pacien,
C. Edgar, or Edgar, and Harold were
born in West Pittston in 1906 and
1912. Dr. Juanita Patience Moss is Ed-
gars daughter.
Harry had a coal souvenir business
evolved from a coal-carving hobby
he picked up as a breaker boy in
a shop behind his home at 34 Wash-
ington St., where he made highly-
polished hearts, crosses and charms.
All six of his boys worked for him, but

reection in the high polished top of the coal
monolith her father worked on for a Smithsonian
exhibit that never happened. She found it in stor-
age in Maryland in 2004. At left, Charles Edgar
Patience works on a bust of George Washington
carved from coal.

ing the market one of the largest inde-
pendent supermarket operations in the
state.The primary election of 1967 was
deemed highly unusual in that there
were more candidates listed on the bal-
lot than in many previous years, and it
was the frst at-large election in the new-
ly-merged Wyoming Area and Pittston
Area School Districts. According to
fairvote.org, With at-large systems, all
voters can vote for all seats up for elec-
tion. Depending on the system, all can-
didates may run against one another,
with the highest vote getters winning
election, or candidates may run for indi-
vidual, designated seats.
1977 36 YEARS AGO
Mockingbird bowling team mem-
bers Lucy Orkwis, Angie Walker,
Jean Morreale, Fran Pisano, Doris
Moughan and Marion Perks were hon-
ored as champs of the Lady Birds Bowl-
ing League 76-77 season.
In 1974, the West Pittston Little
League Girls Softball Organization, the
rst of its kind in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania, was organized. That season, the
girls of Division I won the district cham-
pionship and went on to compete in the
rst state tournament held in Down-
ingtown, taking the runner-up spot. In
1977, the organization was starting its
fourth year with elected ofcers Rich-
ard Belmont, Cathy Petruncio, Jane
Firestine, Jerry LaMarc, Pat Evans,
Rocky Redmond and JimMelberger.
Mike Satkowski, of Dupont, was
selected Outstanding Science Student
of Luzerne County. With interests in
chemistry, biochemistry and immunolo-
gy, he planned to attend Wilkes College.
In addition, he also received certicates
of merit from Luzerne County Society
of Engineers, NEDT and PHEAA Schol-
arship Program.
Answer:
Pittston merchants felt there was
little reason for anyone to shop outside
of the Pittston city proper as a survey re-
vealed there were 114 specialty shops in
Pittston, as well as a number of grocery
stores. It was noted in the May 11, 1947
issue of the Sunday Dispatch, From
one end of Pittston to the other, it is pos-
sible to purchase anything. And if you
get thirsty, there are 12 modern soda
fountains, cocktail lounges and a goodly
number of respectable taverns.
Shes Your Mom a Mothers Day
poem, published in the May 11, 1947 is-
sue of the Sunday Dispatch:
Maybe she spared the rod and
spoiled the child.
Or maybe her dispositions not so
mild
Shes Good Angel and General all
mixed up in one
She scolds and she kisses for the bad
things youve done.
Shes a streamlined young modern or
lavender and lace
Shes your Mom
So remember her
Whatever the case.

the long run the business couldnt
feed all their families so all but Edgar
and Harold and their older brother
Kenneth left the area.
After Harry died at age 48 in 1926
and Harold and Edgar took over busi-
ness at the West Pittston homestead,
Kenneth started a shop of his own in
Harding where he carved part-time and
was a personal assistant to coal baron
legend John Kehoe. Though Edgar and
Harold continued to make hearts and
charms, they grew the businesses by
expanding the line of usable its such
as desk nameplates, ashtrays, ink pen
holders, lamp stands, letter openers,
clock cases and pin-cushion holders
which they sold wholesale to shops like
Helens Gift Shop and Fredrick Jobs in
Wilkes-Barre.
As a child in the 1940s, Juanita
washed and dried the creations for
a nickel apiece and made the satin
pumpkins for the pin cushion holders
for a dime apiece.
In 1939, Edgar and Harold carved a
60-pound to scale sculpture of the the
New York Worlds Fairs Trylon and
Perisphere.
This was a preview of things to come
for Edgar and might have been for Har-
old, too, if he hadnt lost part of his
right hand fghting with the U.S. Army
at Anzio Beach Head, Italy in World
War II.
Perhaps, Moss writes in her book
Anthracite Coal Art by Edgar Pa-
tience, the brothers may have contin-
ued to work together had fate not in-
tervened.
As things were in 1951, while Harry
carried on the souvenir business in
West Pittston, Edgar, divorced from
Mosss mother and married to Alice
Marie Patterson, moved to Wilkes-
Barre. Edgar was in his 40s by then and
decided to pursue his dream of making
it as an artist in coal.
With his newwife, a manager at Blue
Cross, supporting him, a fve-year ex-
periment turned into a 20-year career.
There were many highlights. Under
commission, he carved a bulldog for
the Mack truck corporate ofces and
the offcial seal for Barbados when the
country became independent of the
United Kingdom in 1966.
He had his art presented to U. S.
presidents by Dan Flood. A bust of
John F. Kenney he worked on for nine
months was displayed at Expo 67 in
Montreal, Canada where he was one of
ve American folk artists invited and
where he met the Canadian Prime Min-
ister. In 1969, Jet magazine published a
photo of First Lady Pat Nixon chatting
with Edgar at his booth while holding a
piece of his art at a Department of Agri-
culture exhibit in Washington.
President Lyndon Johnsons wife,
Lady Bird Johnson, had a clock and
bookends in the White House. A letter
the First Lady wrote to Edgar thanking
him is reproduced in Anthracite Coal
Art by Edgar Patience.
In 1970, at a 25th anniversary cel-
ebration of the liberation of Holland
from the Nazis in WWII, veterans of
the 101st Airborne presented Queen
Juliana with an Edgar Patience jeweled
clock and an 18-inch string of anthra-
cite pearls.
He was profled in Ebony magazine
where it was written, He made a name
for himself as one of this nations most
unusual sculptors creating master-
pieces of art from penny-a-pound hard
coal.
Though Edgar exhibited all over
North America and once exhibited
abstracts at the Joseph Grippi Gallery
in New York City, he never forgot his
roots. He was a regular at the Fine Arts
Fiesta. He made a 4,400 pound altar
from a single piece of anthracite for
the Kings College chapel and an altar
of anthracite bricks for St. Peters Lu-
theran Church in Hanover Township.
In 1961, coal operator Louis Pagnotti
pulled a three-and-one half ton piece of
anthracite fromthe Baltimore vein near
the Ashley Bypass to provide a unique
coal exhibit for an Arts and Manufac-
turers Hall planned by the Smithsonian
Institute in Washington.
At Pagnottis Sullivan Trail Shops
on Exeter Avenue in West Pittston,
Edgar dressed the monolith for the
Smithsonian. He sanded and buffed it,
but preserved the stippled effect on its
sides, then hand-polished the top to a
mirror-like nish.
The Arts and Manufacturers hall fell
through and the monolith, despite its
enormity, disappeared.
Juanita Patience Moss found it in
2004 in the Smithsonians Suitland
Storage Facility in Maryland where she
had to make an appointment to see it.
Charles Edgar Patience died in 1972
of pneumonia complicated by coal
workers pneumoconiosis, or black
lung, just days after he exhibited and
was interviewed on TV in Pittsburgh.
Harold died in 1976. Edgars wife, Alice
Patterson, died in 2001.
Today, known examples of Edgars
art are in family and private collections
and at the Anthracite Heritage Muse-
um at McDade Park, Scranton.
In 2011, Moss, a retired teacher
and author who lives in Virginia, was
awarded an honorary degree by Kings
College.
It really belongs to my father, she
said, but I wear the title with pride
and thanksgiving.
