Pick your Pittston

For the first time in 63 years
there was no St. Rocco’s
Church Holy Name Society
Palm Sunday “Smoker” this
year in Pittston. The parish is
being merged – not easily, by
the way, but that’s another story
– with Our Lady of Mount
Carmel. This “year without a
smoker,” if not the first, may be
the most painful sign that St.
Rocco’s days are numbered.
It also means a fellow named
Danny Argo, a lifelong par-
ishioner of St. Rocco’s and a
regular at the “smoker” – a
men-only evening of food and
fellowship – did not get his
customary stint in the spotlight.
For at least the past ten years,
Danny – not a bad entertainer
by any means – gathered a few
fellow musicians and filled the
hall with traditional Italian
tunes. The music added much
to the evening, but it was Dan-
ny’s few minutes at the podium
that were truly memorable.
And memorable is the correct
word since Danny’s routine
varied so little from year to year
everyone in the room had it
down pat. Still, everyone
laughed. Knowing the punch
line did not diminished the
impact, for it was not about
what Danny said but how he
said it. Danny’s monologue was
a self-deprecating tale of a
mischievous little kid (himself)
“terrorizing” the neighborhood
and coming home from school
– St. Rocco’s grade school –
with bad grades.
The humor centered around
the reactions of Danny’s mother
– “she’d hit me with anything, a
shoe, a pot, even the telephone”
– and of then-St. Rocco’s pastor
the late Father Julio Serra,
whom Danny would imperson-
ate to a tee, much to the chagrin
of current Oblates priest Father
Joseph Sibilano, who saw it as
disrespectful, but to the delight
of the audience, who saw it as
hilarious.
The biggest prank of Danny’s
youth was the time he sneaked
into St. Rocco’s Church and set
up the chimes to play a Beatles
song so that when 7 a.m. rolled
around the next morning all of
South Pittston heard not the
Ave Maria, but “She loves you,
yeah, yeah, yeah.”
Danny, now 59, parlayed that
one incident into a whole career
… and not just as a comedian.
The lovable mischief, it turns
out, is a vote-getter. He upset
the Pittston City Council apple
cart eight years ago by ousting
an incumbent and won a second
term four years later.
This year Danny Argo is up
for re-election and in the past
week the spotlight he missed
out on in April has fallen di-
rectly on him in May. This
time, Danny is sharing the stage
with former Pittston mayor
Mike Lombardo who went
public with a statement that he
is fed up with Danny’s antics
and urges Pittston voters to
elect “anyone but Danny.”
Lombardo, who served as
mayor for two terms but chose
not to run for a third, is not a
candidate. But as an appointed
member of the Redevelopment
Authority he is, and indeed
always has been, the city’s big-
gest supporter. And, as the
saying goes, he puts his money
where his mouth is.
Lombardo is raising his fam-
ily – a wife and twin daughters,
both students at Pittston Area –
right downtown in an old Vic-
torian he restored himself. In
doing so, Mike Lombardo is
out to set an example for what
he believes is the future for
Pittston City, namely, a place
where professionals will gladly
make their homes, passing up
acreage in the countryside for
the perks of residing in a clean,
safe, upscale, vibrant downtown
where they can leave the car
behind and walk to churches,
specialty shops, lunch rooms
and fine restaurants.
The feud between Argo and
Lombardo bubbled over last
week around a crass remark,
attributed to Argo, about Lom-
bardo’s brother. There’s enough
“he said, he said, they said”
going on to boggle the mind.
And the damage to whatever
relationship the two ever had
may be irreparable. But the
bigger picture regarding Tues-
day’s election is not about per-
sonalities as much as it is about
philosophies.
Danny Argo would never say
Pittston cannot be what Mike
Lombardo believes it can – who
would? – but Danny’s actions
and voting record indicate he
has a completely different vi-
sion of the city. Talk to Danny
about Pittston and a word you
will hear over and over is
“poor.” Pittston, he will tell
you, is made up of poor people
who cannot afford to pay taxes
and sewer fees and, in essence,
cannot afford the city of Mike
Lombardo’s dreams.
He may be right. Or, at least
be perceived by voters as right.
We’ll know Tuesday night. But
if so, then what?
The funny thing is the Pitt-
ston of Mike Lombardo’s
dreams is as much a return to
the past as it is a vision for the
future. After all, someone had
to build those old downtown
Victorians in the first place.

Council race: rivals McLean and Argo squaring off
Continued from Page 3
Argo denies making the state-
ment and said the accusation had
nothing to do with his split with
McLean.
“It’s got nothing to do with
personal issues,” Argo said.
“When it comes to policy in Pitt-
ston we’re on a different page. I
can’t be running mates with
somebody who has different
ideas on how the city should be
run.”
Argo said he vowed not to run
with McLean last summer after
McLean voted to approve an ex-
clusive towing contract and to
raise the sewer maintenance fee
from $50 to $170.
Argo and Councilman Mike
Lombardo, a cousin of the for-
mer mayor, voted no on the sew-
er fee increase. The vote was
three to two.
Argo agreed the sewer work
had to be done.
“But,” he said, “the cost should
not be on the backs of the resi-
dents. The state and the federal
government should pay for it. I
would have voted for a $20 in-
crease, but 230 percent is too
high for residents who are al-
ready paying the highest millage
in the county. I’m in touch with
the homeowners and that’s how
they feel.”
The sewer fee was raised from
$50 to $170 per year.
“McLean was deciding vote,”
Argo said. “He was supposed to
vote with us and at the meeting
he voted the other way.”
McLean denies that. “I never
promised him anything. You’re
not supposed to discuss deals
like that anyway. I agonized over
that vote for two weeks. I saw
raw sewage seeping into a resi-
dent’s cellar. That’s when I saw
the big picture and decided to
vote for it.”
Argo, council’s public works
liaison, takes credit for paving
streets and downsizing the street
department to eight full-time
employees.
McLean said Argo has no such
power. “That’s his big miscon-
ception. He’s doing all this pav-
ing. He’s doing this and that. It
takes three votes to get anything
done in the city.”
McLean said Argo’s votes are
all over the place. “He voted
against a grant for the sewer
work, then he voted to authorize
paying the contractors. He voted
Argo rails against the city’s high
millage rate, but has voted to
raise taxes. “I never said I never
voted to raise taxes,” he said.
McLean said that maybe true,
but Argo did, in a newspaper ad,
accuse McLean of voting for tax
increases.
against a grant for two new cruis-
ers and he voted no against a new
fire truck paid for by firemen’s
relief.”
McLean said when Argo was
told the cruisers and trucks were
not costing the city anything, Ar-
go defended his vote saying.
“We have enough vehicles.”
Argo rails against the city’s
high millage rate, but has voted
to raise taxes. “I never said I nev-
er voted to raise taxes,” he said.
McLean said that maybe true,
but Argo did, in a newspaper ad,
accuse McLean of voting for tax
increases.
“The bottom line is people
can’t handle it,” Argo said. “Pitt-
ston is a poor city. You can’t get
blood out of a stone. We have
people moving out of the city in
droves, because right around us
you have Jenkins Township and
especially Pittston Township
where the taxes and fees are very
low.
“Holding the line on taxes
without cutting services. This is
what we stand for,” Argo contin-
ued. “This administration is ig-
noring the neighborhoods and
concentrating on Main Street.
I’m in touch with the people of
the city more than the other
councilmen and Ginger is too,”
Argo said referring to Ginger
Butera Murphy his running
mate.
Murphy said she is most inter-
ested in improving parks.
“Look at Albert West, it’s all
grass,” she said. “They had a
walk-around and they don’t have
it anymore. It’s all grown in. Peo-
ple can’t walk there any more.
It’s something that could be done
simply and it could be done

OUR OPINION YO U R S PAC E

Baseball team moms, ‘unsung heroes’

Say no to
nepotisim
As a policy we don’t endorse candi-
dates, but we can endorse a concept and
anti-nepotism is one we both endorse and
embrace.
Two slates of school board candidates,
one from Pittston Area and one from
Wyoming Area, are running campaigns
which include no-nepotisim pledges.
On the Pittston Area no-nepotism slate
are Rich Gorzkowski, Bob Lampman and
Tony Tuttle.
On the Wyoming Area slate are Estelle
Campenni, Tom Cason, Beth Gober-
Mangan and Carl Yorina.
Both slates say adopting a no nepotism
policy would be their first order of busi-
ness.

SMILES AND FROWNS
Valenti and DeAngelo
by JACK SMILES - jsmiles@psdispatch.com
A cynic’s primary election guide respond to letter
Ready for the most important election in Lu-
zerne County in a generation, lifetime, half-
century as Tuesday’s Primary has been de-
scribed?
Really, it’s all that?
The most important elections in Luzerne
County in a generation, lifetime, half-century
were the ones where Ciavarella, Conahan, Toole
and Skrepenak were elected in the first place.
Tuesday’s election is the safest in a generation,
lifetime, half-century.
It’s said the safest time to fly is after a major
accident when airlines, the FAA, airports and all
are hyper-vigilant.
Well, the safest time to vote is after a major
political crack-up when all the candidates are
hyper-pure.
This may sound naïve but at this point it’s safe
to say that none of the judicial candidates or
county council candidates will be accepting new
suits, sunny vacations, 80-inch flat screens or
stuffed envelopes once elected.
It’s almost like we can’t screw this one up no
matter whom we elect.
All the judicial candidates are so full of hon-
esty, integrity, and trustworthiness they won’t be
able to button their robes.
They have spent so much time inside mahoga-
ny-paneled courtrooms they need vitamin D
injections.
All the county council candidates are such
non-political, non-connected, down-to-earth
regular Joe six-packs you couldn’t bribe them
with a backhoe.
A front loader, maybe, but not a backhoe.
But seriously folks, what kind of judges and
councilpersons should we vote for?
Judge answer: Smart ones, if you can figure
out who they are, whose rulings and decisions
won’t be overturned on appeals to higher courts,
because rulings and decisions overturned by
higher courts cost time.
And time is money.
And we ain’t got none.
Which is good.
No money means a hard cap on the number of
cronies and relatives the judges and councilper-
sons we elect can hire.
And what kind of county council candidates
should we vote for?
Answer: Blowin’ in the Wind.
But here are some suggestions:
Vote for candidates from the county’s major
population centers.
Or vote for candidates from rural villages so
far from the county seat Magellan couldn’t find
it.
Vote for experienced politicians.
Or vote for candidates who have never held
any office above homeroom VP.
Vote for candidates with private sector man-
agerial experience.
Or vote for candidates who never managed
anything above T-ball.
Vote for candidates you know personally. Or
vote for candidates you don’t know from Dweezil
Zappa.
Vote for candidates who don’t need the money.
Or vote for candidates who will live on $8,000 a
year.
Vote for candidates who hold white-collar
office jobs.
Or vote for candidates with dirt under their
fingernails.
Vote for cute candidates (Michelle Bednar) or
young, hip candidates (Casey Evans.)
What about school board, who shall we vote
for there?
How about candidates who won’t hire their
relatives or the relatives of other board members?
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA.
Crash, bang (Writer falls on floor in fit of
laughter.)
I got it – orphans. Let’s vote for school board
candidates who grew up in orphanages without
any siblings. Heck fire, let’s make it a law that
only orphans without siblings can be candidates
for school board.
Which puts me in mind of the time Wyoming
Area hired a School Police Officer who was so
important they gave him uppercase letters and
who just happened to be the brother of school
director Dave Alberigi.
Wyoming Area never had a police force of its
very own before Dave Alberigi was elected, but
then the minute he was elected WA had to have
its very own police force.
And, damn, if Alberigi’s brother Chris Alberigi
of all the cops in the world wasn’t the best qual-
ified to be the WA policeman. I mean, what are
the chances?
WA even has its own police car. Here’s what
was said about the cop car from a daily newspa-
per story about a school board meeting: “The
new vehicle will enable him to patrol potential
trouble spots on and near school grounds where
students smoke or speed on their way in and out
of school property.”
Wow, students smoke or speed on their way in
and out of school property. Who knew? What if
they smoke and speed? What if they smoke,
speed and text? What if they smoke, speed, text
and throw gum out the window? What if they
smoke, speed, text, throw gum out the window,
play Kanye West at 250 decibels and you can see
their underwear?
Then what?
We’re going to need a bloody WA SWAT team.
Thar’s Gold
There’s a radio commercial about buying gold
as an investment. In it a financial expert predicts
the price of gold may double.
If that’s the case why does anyone want to sell
it now?

This is in response to Frank
Casarella’s letter which appeared
in your paper last week. He said
he’s had enough. We agree with
him that Wyoming Area resi-
dents have been taxed to the lim-
it, and, we are sensitive to this is-
sue. Unlike Mr. Casarella, how-
ever, we voted no for a tax in-
crease in the June 2010 budget
meeting.
He also states that contracts
are approved without being dis-
tributed to the board, which is
untrue. All personnel contracts
are thoroughly discussed in ex-
ecutive sessions and distributed
to all board members before a
public vote is taken.
We stand on our record and are

Wyoming Area residents, we
write you today to discuss what
direction the Wyoming Area
School District will take after the
May 17 election. The decisions
we make, through the votes we
cast on May 17, will impact both
students and taxpayers of
Wyoming Area for years to
come.
They say that a politician wor-
ries about the next election while
a statesman worries about the
next generation. For too long, we
have seen our elected school
board members concern them-
selves more with securing jobs
within the district for their fam-
ily members while forgetting
about the future and stability of
our district.
Our great district has been the
headline in countless television
news reports and newspaper co-
lumns detailing the rampant nep-
otism at Wyoming Area. Wyom-
ing Area deserves far better than
to be the punch line for local po-
litical jokes.
Unfortunately, Wyoming Area
now finds itself at a crossroads.

possible cuts in programs do not
impact their education and activ-
ities.
In this election, you have a
choice and the team of Estelle
Campenni, Tom Cason, Beth
Gober-Mangan and Carl Yorina
is the choice. If elected, the first
order of business will be to adopt
a no nepotism policy. The policy
will mirror the policy abolished
by the current majority during
their first meeting in 2005. It will
plainly state that no close relative
of a sitting board member will be
hired.
Our team also consists of one
college professor, a Honeywell
technician with 20 years experi-
ence, a chemist for Schott Glass,
and an electrical engineer. To-
gether we have six children cur-
rently attending Wyoming Area
Schools. When elected, we look
forward to working with the
teachers, support staff and ad-
ministrators toward the common
goal of financial stability and
taxpayer accountability. The an-
swer to our current problems will
not be solved by making villains

HALEY’S COMMENT
Once upon a time
In a land far, far away, there
lived a young woman who…
When I was a child so many
of the fairy tale story books be-
gan this way.
Within the first few lines the
distant, enchanted land would
be painted vividly within the
imagination and a fair maiden,
handsome prince, and wicked
queen or sorcerer introduced,
setting the plot of good versus
evil. It is within such tales that
my love of reading, books, the
written word, and the influence
they have on the reader began to
bloom.
From an early age I devoured
books. I would get my hands on
one and have a hard time putting
it down until I read it all the way
through, cover to cover.
I loved getting lost in the
words, finding myself in a for-
eign world I could explore,
among strangers that I was only
too eager to learn about and be-
friend, and refusing to leave un-
til I had my fill.
I love the effect a good book
has on the imagination, causing
it to pirouette in new directions
and expand in electrifying ways;
and on the heart, forcing it to
leave a charmed impression and
a fondness of memory within.
And I love the way a book can
propel you into a newer, more
profound understanding of who
you are at your core, shedding
light on thoughts and emotions,
convictions and morals, wishes
and dreams, expectations and
realities of yourself that you
may never before realized.
I love everything about books;
the smell, the look, the feel, the
weight.
Everything about them is al-
luring and tantalizing.
Truth be told, when I go to
purchase a book it is a process
in and of itself.
I examine the spine, pages,
and font, weigh the pros and
cons of hard cover versus paper-
back, read a few pages to deter-
PAGE 16
mine whether or not the style
and topic is right and interesting
Haley Taffera Kennedy
enough for me, and check to
make sure that no other copy is
in better shape than the one I
have chosen.
I need the perfect fit, the per-
fect get away, the perfect tool to
challenge my mind, heart, and
spirit.
I’ve been reading a lot lately,
too.
I usually go through spurts
where I will read one book after
another for a few weeks and
then take quite a bit of time off.
Right now though, I’ve been on
a binge, gorging myself on book
after book after book, never
stopping for more than a day or
two to rest my eyes or mind.
I’m addicted to the escape, to
the thrill, to the difference of
places and faces.
On more than one occasion,
at least once a year, I will reread
my favorites: The Chronicles of
Narnia by C.S. Lewis, and Jane
Austen’s novels, namely Pride
and Prejudice and Persuasion.
I discovered Narnia and the
great lion Aslan (the central fig-
ure in the books) when I was a
child and quickly began to wor-
ship the magical realm and the
talking animals that inhabited it.
The second book of the series,
The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe, has always been my
most beloved as it was the first
book, to my recollection, that I
could actually see playing in my
mind while I was reading it.
My imagination still bursts to
life at the mere sight of the icon-
ic cover, a faun carrying an um-
brella and parcels in a snowy
wood near a lamppost.
Jane Austen and her novels
came to me when I was a teen-
ager and young woman.
Pride and Prejudice was a
reading assignment in my high
school English class, and as I
was studying English Writing in
college, Jane’s literature was a
mainstay.
Jane Austen highlighted the
circumstances and environment
which required the dependence
of women on marriage to secure
social standing and economic
security.
Her realism and sharp social
commentary, comic twists, de-
scriptive scenes, and sparks of
romance captivate me and I find
myself at home when immersed
in her thick dialogue and wan-
dering the English moors.
Currently, however, and you
may laugh if you like as I’m ri-
diculously late to join the craze
and also because of the target
audience and material, I am
reading the Harry Potter series
by J.K. Rowling (I watched one
of the movies based on these
books and my interest was
piqued).
A total of seven fantasy nov-
els, Harry Potter chronicles the
adventures of an adolescent
wizard and his friends dueling
battle with an evil dark wizard. I
don’t really know what it is
about these books other than the
brilliant mixture of adventure,
drama, and mystery that has me
fascinated, but I will regret
when I’ve finished them.
Besides fiction and fantasy,
though, I also enjoy humo
books and short essays, autobio-
graphical pieces and, more often
than not, classic novels by au-
thors such as Mark Twain, F.
Scott Fitzgerald, Charlotte
Bronte, Ernest Hemingway,
Emily Bronte, and Charles
Dickens.
The classics, for whatever
reason, comfort me and mes-
merize me in odd, hypnotic
ways.
Someone once said, “Books
are the quietest and most con-
stant of friends; they are the
most accessible and wisest of
counselors, and the most patient
of teachers.”
I couldn’t agree more, nor
could I find a pastime more en-
joyable or a love more steadfast
than that of a good book. I’ve
traveled to so many foreign
lands, met so many intriguing
people, learned so many won-
derful facts because of them
that, more often than not, I long
to be buried behind a good
book.

CORNER

Celebrate cherries
Spring has sprung and the summer outdoor festivals are kicking off
this weekend with the West Pittston Cherry Blossom Festival. Cele-
brate the festival by learning more about cherries.
Cherries are a wonderful fruit packed with antioxidants and a must
eat food for anyone who wants to boost their bodies’ sustenance.
The American Dietetic Association (ADA) recommends varying
the color of your foods on a daily basis. Foods should be as colorful as
the spring flowers, including greens, blues, whites and tan, orange
and of course reds. These colors come from the natural pigments
found in plants and represent wonderful natural ways of boosting our
bodies’ nutrition. A diet rich in a variety of foods including plants
helps to prevent and treat a variety of disease states. According to
ADA, produce rich in the color of red like cherries may help maintain
a healthy heart by reducing inflammation, good vision, and immuni-
ty and may reduce cancer risks by their strong presence of antiox-
idants. Here are some examples:
Fruits: cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, red/pink grape fruit,
red grapes and watermelon
Vegetables: beets, red onions, red peppers, red potatoes, rhubarb
and tomatoes
The American Institute for Cancer Research also reports on the
value of eating a variety of colored foods including red cherries. They
state that “studies suggest the phytochemical anthocyanin, are cred-
ited with giving cherries their notable red hue, have been recognized
for its antioxidant power.” They go on to recommend when cooking
or eating cherries, to eat the skin, which contains many of the cherry’s
protective substances. The same rule applies to many other vegeta-
bles and fruits such as potatoes, pears and apples.
What other bennies do cherries give our bodies? The AICR also
states that they “are an excellent source of beta carotene, a precursor
to vitamin A. The tart version of these bite-size fruits actually has
nearly 20 times more vitamin A than strawberries and blueberries.
And as an extra bonus, cherries are a good source of vitamins C and E
for healthy collagen development and immunity. They even provide
an extra boost of fiber, potassium and iron.”
So when you are walking around the cherry festival this year, think
of the fruit in addition to the beauty of the blossoms.
Meanwhile, add cherries to your grocery list. Fresh or frozen both
come without added sugars. Be mindful of dried and canned by
checking the label to see if sugar has been added.
Try this salsa recipe from the AICR.
Cherry Salsa
4 Tomatillos, chopped
1 Tbsp. water
3 small scallions, green and white parts separated, thinly sliced
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cup dark sweet cherries (frozen or fresh), pitted, chopped*
1 pinch of ground black pepper or 1/8 tsp Tabasco sauce
In nonstick skillet, heat tomatillos with 1 tbsp. of water for approxi-
mately 3 minutes.
Add scallion whites and cook one minute. Add lemon juice, cher-
ries and pepper and cook additional minute. Remove from heat; add
scallion greens.
Refrigerate for at least one hour.
If using with poultry or fish, bring to room temperature or reheat
before serving.

The Hughestown school board and
PTA were at odds over a minstrel show
that went awry. The school dancing
instructor in charge of the show’s rou-
tines found himself in the middle of a
controversy after someone complained
about an off-color skit performed at the
show. The instructor took offense to the
complaints, did not show for the second
performance and refused to continue to
give dance instructions at the school.
Parents brought up the matter at a
school board meeting and appealed to
board members to try to get the dancing
instructor back.
Walter Tetlak, proprietor of the Sugar
Bowl in Dupont, wanted to give young
talented boys and girls a chance to ex-
hibit their abilities so he held an amateur
contest and invited the area children to
compete. First place went to the Danny
Kaye Trio of Duryea composed of Da-
niel Kobal, Bernard Balchune and
Eugene Kennedy; second place went to
the Dupont Silver Notes a trio consist-
ing of Don Mitchell, Robert Kishel
and Joseph Phillips. Judges for the
competition were Irene Kulick, Franc-
es Kalmanowicz, Frances Yanchury
and Mary Pennachioli.
The Pittston Red Devils, managed by
“Streaky” Dardes, were one of the
teams to beat in the Suburban League
match-ups. The outstanding batting
display of Lenny Meckalavage helped
win the team’s first two outings. West
Wyoming, which also claimed two vic-
tories, planned to cool Meckalavage’s
bat with pitching-catcher combo Billy
Krosky and Danny “Biff” Forlenza.
The West Wyoming High School
presented a unique “I Am an American
Day” program. Louis Greco supplied
soil samples from 48 states to be mixed
together at the program. On display were
letters from the 48 governors. Scheduled
to speak was Dr. J.B. Matthews, author
of the American Legion articles against
subversive activities in the U.S.
Arizona, the 48th state, was admitted
to the Union on February 14, 1912. On 3
January 1959, Alaska became the 49th
State. Hawaii became the 50th state
admitted to the Union on August 21,
1959.
1962 – 49 Years Ago
In his Hunting and Fishing column
appearing in Sunday Dispatch, John
Koval stated, “Over 7 million pleasure
and fishing boats are in use by 36 mil-
lions water enthusiasts, fishermen and
water skiers.”
On a trip to Zambor’s sports store,
John noticed a large stock of V-bottom
14 footers and several “Jon Boats” giv-
ing Pittston area fishermen ample ways
to fish the areas beautiful lakes, rivers
and streams. A Jon Boat is flat-bot-
tomed aluminum or wood boat with one,
two, or three bench seats used for hunt-
ing as well as fishing. The hull of a Jon
boat is nearly flat limiting the use of the
boat to calmer waters. They are easy to
maintain, and can be upgraded to handle
a motor.
Family members and friends Earl
Bechtold, Eddie Strubeck and Sam
Abate were disappointed. They had
traveled to Olean, New York, to see Erie
Sailors pitcher Wes Mugford and out-
fielder Bernie Richards perform, but
upon arriving at the ballpark, they read a
sign posted “Rain, No Game Today”.
Relief pitcher Mugford and leadoff
batter Richards were local baseball stars
who went on to join the Sailors in the
New York-Pennsylvania League. Ac-
cording to the team web site, The Sail-
ors team affiliation in 1962 was with the
Minnesota Twins.
Formed in 1891, the team switched
leagues many times throughout its histo-
ry. Based in Erie, the Sailors left after
1993 when their ballpark, Ainsworth
Field fell into disrepair. They settled in
Fishkill, New York, as the Hudson Val-
ley Renegades.
The Junction Athletic Club baseball
team, member of the Suburban League
dedicated a new stadium located in the
Upper Pittston Flats. Three local sports
heroes and one from Maryland were on
hand to celebrate the event. Gene Gau-
rilia, Duryea, of the Boston Celtics,
played under coach Arnold “Red”
Auerbach during the 1960s. The Celtics
conquered the NBA 11 times in 13 sea-
sons. “Fritz” Dorish, Swoyersville, was
a right-handed pitcher over all or parts
of ten seasons (1947–1956) with the
Boston Red Sox, St. Louis Browns/
Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White
Sox. Jimmy Foxx, Maryland, was the
second major league player to hit 500
career home runs, after Babe Ruth. Joe
Ostrowski, West Wyoming, pitched in
the Major Leagues for 5 seasons and
finished with a 23-25 record and 15
saves. He pitched two scoreless innings
in the Yankees’ 1951 World Series victo-
ry.
Tito Fabrizio of Pittston was also a
hero in attendance. He spent many hours
of his time operating the heavy equip-
ment used in the construction of the new
stadium and was in large part responsib-
le for the successful grand opening.
1972 – 39 Years Ago
Three Pittstonians were on hand at
ceremonies launching the nuclear air-
craft carrier Nimitz at Newport News,
Virginia. Along with Congressman Dan
Flood were the Chief Clerk of the
House of Representatives Defense Ap-
propriations Committee John Garrity,
of Port Griffith, his wife the former
Mary Marek of Dupont, and Michael
Clark, who was the legislative assistant
to Congressman Flood.
The group met with Navy Secretary
John Warner and Admiral Hyman
Rickover, the father of the atomic pow-
ered submarine the Nautilus. According
to its web site, “the Nimitz measures
more than 18 stories high from keel to
masthead and has a total length of 1,092
feet. Carrying a full compliment of
5,800 officers and crew and 85 combat
aircraft, its enormous 4.5 acre flight
deck serves as the launching pad for the
supersonic jets of Carrier Air Wing 11.”
General Chester W. Nimitz became
one of the first submarine commanders;
he built the submarine base at Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii. During the aftermath of
the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, he
assumed command of the Pacific Fleet.
When it came to fighting the war, Ni-
mitz said, “It is the function of the Navy
to carry the war to the enemy so that it is
not fought on U.S. soil.”

Nimitz go to www.navsource.org/ar-

ed ordinances, resolutions, and
assisted in obtaining grants for
improvements within the bor-
ough of Duryea.
McGlynn believes that this ex-
perience and his ability to work
with others will make him the
councilman that Luzerne Coun-

John C. Hood

Once elected McGlynn antici-
pates making Luzerne County a
place where people would like to

McGlynn plans for the County
are to establish fiscal account-

the trust of Luzerne County citi-
zens, working with management
and its employees to make Lu-
zerne County run more efficient.
He would like to reopen
Moonlake utilizing the existing
facilities and make improve-
ments to the park.
Not only, would McGlynn like
to expand on parks and recre-
ation throughout the county for
all to enjoy, but would like to be
the voice for assisting the elderly
in their hardships of being on a
fixed income by trying to keep
taxes down.
McGlynn’s vision for the fu-
ture of Luzerne County is to at-
tract more businesses to the area
so the younger generations will
want to stay in Luzerne County

Barb Zangre, 54, is a candi-
date for Pittston City council.
She describes herself as a Pro-
gressive Democratic Candidate.
Zangre was born and raised in
Missouri, where her father and
grandfather were mayors, but
she has a passion for Pittston
where she has lived since 2003.
Her grandfather was also the
first president of the AFL-CIO
in Kansas City. She was raised in
a Scouting family and was first
class Girl Scout.
Given that background she
says she stands up for union
rights, the rights of working fam-
ilies and parks and recreation is-
sues. Barb feels since she has re-
sided in Pittston our parks and
quality of life have been over-
looked. She also attends parks
and recreation seminars provid-
ed by PA’s Parks Association and
works with the Susquehanna
Rails and Trails program.
She believes the time has
come for the restoration and re-
vitalization of Pittston. Zangre
believes success comes from
unity, creating coalitions and
cooperation and looks forward
to working with our new city

And the Beat Goes On
Ryan O'Malley
Shawn Klush brings back his Elvis tribute; Dakota also scheduled
Now that May is here, in just
over a month the Northeast Fair
will open its gates for everyone
to come enjoy the food, music,
rides and everything else that has
helped bring the crowds in over
the last seven years.
While most people go for the
luxury of paying one price for
the food and rides, the Fair also
offers entertainment and music
on a nightly basis.
Focusing on the music, this
year the Fair offers a good varie-
ty of acts to please anyone in at-
tendance.
On Wednesday, June 22, Pitt-
ston resident and the only Elvis
tribute artist sanctioned by Elvis
Presley Enterprises, Shawn
Klush, will return for another
packed show.
On Thursday, June 23, Bobbie
Lynch and Danny V. will repli-
cate the duel piano playing of El-
ton John and Billy Joel from
their legendary “Face to Face”
tours.
Kicking off the weekend on
Friday, two of our areas most be-
loved live acts – Cabinet and
MiZ – will both play full sets on
the main stage.
On Saturday, Dakota, the full
band, will reunite for a night of
classics from the group and may-
be even a few cuts from Bill Kel-
ly and Jerry Hludzik’s old band,
The Buoys.
This leaves us with opening
night, Tuesday, June 21.
For the fourth consecutive
year, the Fair will be hosting the
Original Music Showcase,
which will run from 5 to 10:30
p.m. on the main stage.
Like the name implies, the
evening will feature nothing but
original material from artists in
our area.
Keeping with the fair’s focus
on family entertainment, the
Original Music Showcase will
not feature any emo or death
metal music as part of the eve-
ning.
There will undoubtedly be a
few acts who play a bit harder,
but nothing too overwhelming.
Likewise, profanity or obscene
lyrics will not be tolerated.
Each band will play for ap-
proximately 40 minutes and will
be judged by both the crowd and
a panel of judges who will be
from various media and music
outlets.
Judging criteria will consist of
vocals, music, stage presence
and overall performance. While
some of the votes will come from
the judges, the remaining votes
will come from the crowd. Each
audience member will get to cast
one vote for their favorite act of
the evening.
All ballots will be counted and
added into the final results.
Plain and simple, the more
people you bring, the better your
chances.
Any acts interested in joining
the Original Music Showcase
may contact me at musicjournal-
man@hotmail.com. Registra-
tion is on a first come, first serve
basis.
Summer Music
With the summer months
quickly approaching, vacation
planning is inevitable. While
many people are planning trips
to whatever beach or amusement
parks they prefer, there are many
other options to choose for those
of us who want to veer away from
the norm.
For example, the summer
months also mark the beginning
of festival season for music fans
across the country.
Although higher priced festiv-
als like Bonnaroo and the Gath-
ering of the Vibes have become
staples for music enthusiasts,
there is a smaller, four-day fes-
tival in northern West Virginia
where people can dance, party
and let loose.
Going on its fifteenth year, the
All Good Music Festival and
Campout will take place at Mar-
vin’s Mountaintop in Mason-
town, West Virginia, from July
14 to 17.
Nestled in the rolling hills of a
privately-owned farm, All Good
offers 655 acres of musical free-
dom, along with two stages of al-
most around-the-clock enter-
Music line-up is listed
for summer’s Northeast Fair
tainment.
Headlining this year’s festival
will be Grateful Dead founders
Phil Lesh and Bobby Weir with
their semi-new vehicle Furthur.
While past incarnations of All
Good have focused heavily on
the Dead and extended family,
this years’ lineup includes only
Furthur and Dark Star Orchestra.
Notwithstanding, All Good will
also be hosting a slew of other
artists who will hopefully give
fans a view into some other
genres of music, including jam
band veterans moe., the elec-
tronic fusion of STS9, the bluesy
Warren Haynes Band, Pretty
Lights, the John Butler Trio,
Keller Williams, and, in its clos-
est appearance to Northeast Pa.
all year, newly reformed 90’s
warhorses, Primus.
Along with all the music,
which will be happening on two
stages without any breaks, All
Good offers plenty of other ac-
tivities for people who are expe-
riencing musical overload.
Throughout the acres and
acres of land, there are multiple
vendors, arts and crafts and con-
cession stands to keep any festiv-
al-goer happy.
And, with All Good wanting to
focus on being a family-friendly
festival, there will be a children’s
area where parents can bring
their little ones to get away from
all the craziness.
If that’s not enough, the huge

 Big birthday for a Little League
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 15, 2011
60th anniversary opening day for Pittston Little League today
The 1955 team that went to the state finals following one of their victories.
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Today is opening day at the
Pittston Little League and it is
the 60th anniversary of the first
opening day.
The league was chartered in
1951. The genesis for the league
was a challenge issued to Bill
Leppert, the Pittston police offi-
cer, who was the driving force
behind the creation of the league
and its first president.
The story goes that Leppert
was talking to some men in West
Pittston who were forming a Lit-
PAGE 30
tle League there. He liked the
idea and said he was going to do
the same in Pittston. The West
Pittston men scoffed saying,
“you’ll never get it done.”
That was all Leppert needed to
hear. He took it on as a challenge
and worked tirelessly to create a
league in Pittston and succeeded.
Both the Pittston and West Pitt-
ston Little League began in ’51.
The original field was the
same one that the league used
through 2009. Now it is a minor
league and tee-ball field adja-
cent to the new field that was
opened last year and named for
Bill Leppert.
Helping Leppert was league

I read the Times Leader en-

was not among those endorsed.
I find that frustrating but not
surprising.
Apparently the Times Leader

me, and if that’s the case, why did
the Times Leader waste their
time and mine with an inter-

During the primary campaign

I also provided them with a
copy of the letter I received from
the International City/County
Manger’s Association (ICMA)in
which they advised me that I had
met their criteria of a Profession-
al Municipal Manager.
No other candidate has that
designation and no other candi-
date has attended the number of

have.
The fact is that other than
Commissioner Urban and for-
mer Commissioner Ed Bromin-
ski, I don’t believe that even one
of those endorsed ever offered a
solution to any county problem.
2011 comes to a close, the cur-
rent deficit is soon to reach over
three million dollars. If we do not
focus on the deficit, this will
cause the district’s educational
programs to be cut drastically
and our school taxes to be con-
siderably increased.
As we go to the polls, keep in
mind to vote to resolve the def-
icit and develop a fiscal plan for
the future.

Based upon my public record

I’m at a loss in trying to under-

In our world today, does patri-
otism still matter? I believe so.
Without patriotism our country
would be in ruins.
First off, if no one cared about
patriotism anymore, who would
fight in our wars? Anyone who is
away at war cares a great deal
about patriotism. After all, the
definition of patriotism is sup-
porting and defending one’s Fa-
therland.
Secondly, every year on July 4,
everyone across the nation joins
their family and friends to cele-
brate the birth of our country. On
that day, we officially won our
freedom and independence for
our country. Without patriotism,
we wouldn’t have gained our
freedom that we have today.
It is all those brave souls that

Americans died for
your privilege to vote
A vote is a privilege that you
are given when you turn 18. It
was not a right a long time ago.
Many Americans died and
fought to earn you this right.
When you vote you should re-
member that your vote is impor-
tant and that it does make a dif-
ference. Your vote may be the de-
cider whether one candidate will
win office or the other. So
choose your selection wisely and
learn the truth and as many facts
as you can about him/her.
Did you know that one vote
saved Andrew Johnson from im-
peachment and elected Adolph
Hitler leader of Germany. These
examples make you think about
who you’re choosing.
Modern voting is conducted
by first, registering to vote which
you can do at your county elec-
fought in the war, whom we all
owe our gratitude to.
Without patriotism in our
hearts today, we wouldn’t care
about or celebrate July 4.
Also to this day, in schools
across the country, students and
teachers still recite the Pledge of
Allegiance each and every
morning.
In most schools, students and
teachers listen as the National
Anthem is played throughout the
school as well. This just proves
that patriotism still matters, oth-
erwise we would not do this ev-
ery day.
If patriotism did not matter in
our society today, we wouldn’t
have a reason to fly our flag.
When we fly our flag, we are ba-
sically saying, “I am a citizen of

would we fly the flag if we didn’t

country?
As you can see, to this very
day people still have patriotism
in their hearts.
To love and support; care
about and defend one’s country;
fight for freedom and independ-
ence; this is patriotism.
I believe that patriotism still
matters in the world today; not
only in our country, but for many
other countries as well. Any
country can be proud to fly their
country’s flag, or to fight in their
country’s armies. Patriotism
does indeed still matter greatly.

Bar on Oak, located on Oak Street (where else?) in Pittston Township.

‘Bar on Oak’ offers a wide variety of music and fun

By Melissa Hoover
Dispatch Correspondent
Summer time is approaching.
The weather is finally agreeing
with the seasons. Gas prices are
skyrocketing. Many people want
to shed their winter wardrobe
and throw on those nice pair of
heels or that new button down
shirt to head out for a night of fun
with music and perhaps a little
dancing.
You’re thinking about a great
fun night club without the con-
gestion of hundreds of people
and without the long drive to
Scranton or Wilkes-Barre. A
short drive perhaps right off of
Interstate 81 or a cruise off of
PAGE 38
Route 315.
Well you are in luck. Bar On
Oak, which is located on Oak St.
in Pittston, has plenty to offer
your warm weather needs.
Pat Marranca, owner of Bar
On Oak, has been busy booking
local acts of all types. For the
past year, this hip redesigned
business has been pulling in acts
that redefine this small town at-
mosphere into a big concert bar
scene that is usually found in the
city life. This place has it all.
The dance floor is tremen-
dously huge enough to fit pa-
trons of all desires. Bar On Oak
offers line dancing every
Wednesday night with an in-
structor at hand to demonstrate
for newcomers how to dance to
the newest country hits. Tuesday
night offers comedy performers
with available seating at the wrap
around bar, or at the set of tables
located throughout the establish-
ment. Thursday and Friday
nights provide live shows on
their concert style stage set up
with full theater like lighting.
The music that blasts out on
these nights include acts like Pop
Rox, Lipstyk, Iron Cowboy, The
Cadillacs, 40lb Head, Souled
Out, Kartune, Dawgs, Stingray,
Changes, Jenne Zano, Group De
jour, and even Picture Perfect,
just to name a few.
Bar On Oak offers a variety of
tastes for all patrons to enjoy on a
night out on the town.
The highlight for Marranca’s
business is the upcoming live
performance of the Mahoney
Brothers scheduled to rock the
night on Friday, June 10, starting
at 7 p.m. This performance is
guaranteed to rock your night
with renditions of Elvis Presley’s
hits to the triumphant musical
career of The Beatles with full
wardrobe changing between the
acts to make you feel like you are
transported back in time.
Marranca also opens his doors
to charitable fundraisers for the
local community to even meet
and greets with local political
events.
Bar On Oak offers daily happy
hour specials from 5-7 p.m. dur-
ing the week and 8-10 p.m. on
Saturdays with a small bar menu
offering selections from pizza to
buffalo bites and fries.
“I couldn’t do all this without
my employees from the bartend-
ers to the doormen,” Marranca
said. “But my greatest inspira-
tion was my mother. She loved to
come here. It was her get away.”

Avoca chiropractor offers gardening tips for our backs
It’s finally beginning to look a
lot like springtime in Avoca! I
don’t know about all of you, but
the warmer weather and sun-
shine filled days last week has
me eager to get outside and plant
my garden.
Since I suffer from lower back
problems, gardening can be a
challenge for me.
Lucky for us, Avoca chiro-
practor Dr. Margaret Ace Brez-
nay of Breznay Family Chiro-
practic offered me10 great tips to
help take the strain off all of our
backs and help us to enjoy some
fun in the sun.
1. Buy ergonomic tools and
handles: To choose the right size
grip for you, make a circle with
your thumb and index finger and
insert the handle in it. By doing
this, you will choose tools with
handles perfect for your hands.
A proper grip will decrease con-
tact stress and minimize muscle
and tendon strain making gar-
dening easier.
2. Keep your tools in good
shape: By keeping your garden-
ing tools sharp, you will be able
to dig well and exert less pres-
sure on your hands and body.
3. Shoveling: While standing
before you begin digging, take a
wide stance, bend your knees,
keep your abs tight, alternate
your grip, and pivot. Be sure to
avoid over loading your shovel,
pitchfork, or wheelbarrow and
only work with weight you can
handle comfortably.
4. Raking: Alternate frequent-
ly between right and left handed
stances to decrease muscle fa-
tigue.
5. Kneeling: Switch sides fre-

quently to prevent pressure on
any one knee.
6. When lifting an object: Take
a wide stance, get as close as
possible to the item to be lifted,
bend with your legs, test the
item’s weight a little and then lift
it with your head up and lower
back arched. If the item you are
trying to lift is too heavy for you,
ask for help. Do not put yourself
at risk.
7. When setting an object
down: Remember to set it down
between your knees and bend
with your legs.
8. Always keep garden path-
ways as clear as possible to avoid
trips and falls.
9. When mowing the lawn:
Remember that riding mowers
put more stress on your lower
back. If you can, alternate be-
tween the riding and the push
mower to give your back a little
rest.
10. Remember, the best time to
garden is early in the morning
and later in the day. Avoid work-
ing outside between 11 a.m. and 1
p.m. as much as possible be-
cause of the strength of ultravio-
let rays at this time.

screen.

Bressler no-hits Coughlin
PA junior close to perfect in 10-0, five-inning victory
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff

Pittston Area junior Chuck Bressler

tossed his first career no-hitter as the Pa-
triots blanked Coughlin, 10-0, in five-in-
nings in a Wyoming Valley Conference
Division I-East game on Thursday after-
noon at the Buck Harris Athletic Com-
plex in Hughestown.
Bressler faced just one batter above the
minimum as he struck out five and did not
allow a walk. The only Crusader player to
reach base did so on a fielding error.
The Patriots gave Bressler an early 3-0
lead as senior catcher Ron Musto blasted
a three-run homer to plate PJ Bone and
Tyler Loftus.
Pittston Area then added one in the
fourth inning and six in the fifth to end the
game in the mercy rule.
Brian Delaney smacked three hits to
lead the PA offense. He also scored a run.
RJ Emmett added two hits and an RBI,
and Anthony Schwab scored two runs and
produced an RBI single. Matt Antal also Pittston Area third baseman Anthony Schwab, left, tags out Hazleton Area's T.J. Chirico on Tuesday afternoon during the Patri-
ots win over the Cougars.

Colarusso gives WA seniors walk-off win

Senior first baseman delivered go-ahead hit in 5-4 victory over WVW
By Matt Petrini
Dispatch Correspondent
Wyoming Area’s Kyle Colarusso
knew he wanted a highlight-reel hit
to cap off his senior campaign. So
with several parents looking on with
digital and videos cameras clenched
to their hands in hopes of capturing a
great ending, Colarusso gave the
home crowd a signature shot that
will last a lifetime.
The senior f irst baseman smashed
a 2-1 fastball to drive home the go-
ahead run in the bottom of the sixth
to give the Warriors a 5-4 victory
over Wyoming Valley West on Senior
ternoon in a Wyoming Valley Con-
ference Division I-West game. The
victory was the fourth in five games
for Wyoming Area.
“This is the second time this sea-
son that Colarusso has come through
for us,” said WA skipped Chick An-
drewscavage in reference to Colarus-
so’s walk-off homer against Hazle-
ton.
But Colarusso wasn’t the only se-
nior to come up big for the Warriors.
Senior catcher Kody Nowicki –
who has also played some third base
and outf ield this season for WA – set
the table for Colarusso. Nowicki

Lady Patriots miss out on opportunities
PA out shoots Sem by big margin, but fall 2-1 to Lady Blue Knights
By Matt Page
Dispatch Correspondent
Pittston Area took the field on
Tuesday hoping to celebrate with
their senior captains Sara Kielbasa
and Kaylene Sutkowski with a vic-
tory. However, Wyoming Semina-
ry was able to upset the Lady Patri-
ots 2-1 in a Division 2A game at
the Bucky Harris Sports Complex
in Hughestown on Senior Parents
Day.
The scoring opportunities came
quick and often for the Lady Patri-
ots as they attacked the goal with
17 shots. But Pittston Area could
not manage to beat the keeper on
several good looks.
“We just could not find the back
of the net,” said Coach Nicole Tie-
so. “We need to make the most of
all of our opportunities and unfor-
tunately today we were not able
to.”
It looked as if PA was going to
get on the board early when
Wyoming Seminary was whistled
for a handball in the penalty box,
leading to a penalty kick. Liz Mik-
itish stepped up but sailed the ball
over the net in what was a sign of
things to come for the Lady Patri-
ots.
Though PA was attacking the
Lady Blue Knights defense con-
stantly, Sem was the first one to get
on the board just nine minutes into
the game. Down by one, the Lady
Patriots poured on the pressure.
The ever-dangerous Sara Ruby
broke through the defense and was
one-on-one with the goalie, but the
keeper was able to make a sliding
save to prevent the goal.
Less than one minute later, Mik-
itish ripped a shot off a free kick
but it was deflected away by the
wall set up in front of the goal. Fi-
nally, with less than14 minutes left
in the half, Ruby took the ball in
the box and played it past the keep-
er to Danielle Fereck, who chipped
it into the net to tie the game at 1-1
The second half looked just like
the first as the Lady Patriots would
create numerous good chances on-
ly to have them denied by the Sem
keeper.

be heading to overtime, Wyoming
Seminary was able to break the tie
and steal a 2-1 victory.

added two hits for the Lady Warriors.
Alex Holtz pitched four solid innings of

OF 0, Valley View 4
The Old Forge offense continued to
struggle as the Blue Devils managed just
two hits in a 4-0 loss to Valley View in a
Lackawanna League Division II game on
Thursday night at the Old Forge Miles
Street Community Park.
Andi Alsalahat led off the bottom of the
first with a single to right field and moved
to second when Nicole Marianelli was hit
on the left arm with a pitch from Gina
Chieffalo. But the Blue Devils stranded
their top two hitters without even moving
them over a base.
Old Forge had opportunities in the sec-
ond and third but stranded both Jess Casey
and Marianelli at first base when the se-
niors drew walks in each respective in-
ning.
Valley View scored two in the top of the
second to take a 2-0 lead, and added an-
other in the top of the third before getting
an insurance run in the top of the seventh.
Meanwhile, the Blue Devils could not
get anything going despite Alsalahat
drawing a walk in the fifth, and Chelsea
Cadwalder leading off the sixth with a
double to right.
Marianelli pitched all seven innings for
Old Forge, working her way out of jams in
every inning. In her third start of the sea-
son, Marianelli scattered 10 hits and six
walks while stranding 11 runners on base.
OF 1, Carbondale 6
Old Forge had a few opportunities to
scratch out runs against Carbondale ace
Mackenzie Lynn. But in the end, the Lack-
awanna League’s most dominant pitcher
was too much to overcome in a 6-1 loss to
the Chargerettes in a Division II game on
PAGE 56
Monday night in Carbondale.
The Blue Devils had a runner on in their
half of the first when Andi Alsalahat reac-
hed on an error with one out. But Lynn
struck out the next two hitters to end the
threat.
Then in the third, Alsalahat singled with
two outs before stealing second with Ni-
cole Marianelli at the plate. Marianelli
sharply grounded back to Lynn who was
just able to reach above her head to snag
the ball and retire Marianelli at first to end
the inning.
In the fifth, Jess Casey drew a one-out
walk and stole second base with pinch-hit-
ter Michelle Giacometti at the plate. Gia-
cometti eventually drew a walk, but Casey
was thrown out trying to steal third on the
ball four pitch. One batter later, Lynn got
Taylor Nemetz to fly out to end the inning.
Carbondale finally got to Old Forge
starter Kim Regan in the bottom of the
fifth after a leadoff walk to Kristi Brunza.
Two batters later, Lynn doubled her home
for a 1-0 lead.
The Chargerettes added five runs in the
sixth to pull away as the CA bats came to
life with three hits, including a three-run,
inside-the-park homer by Brunza.
The Blue Devils scored in the top of the
seventh when Dana Bilski reached on a
walk, moved to both second and third on
wild pitches, and scored on an RBI-triple

Josh Savakinus Chris Hromek Tony Goodall

PA Baseball WA Track OF Baseball

To say Pittston Area’s Josh Savakinus is tearing the cov-
er off the baseball would be the understatement of the sea-
son. But that is exactly what the senior shortstop is doing
for the Patriots.
Savakinus was 7-for-10 in three games for PA last week
with eight RBI and five runs scored.
For his effort, Josh has been named The Sunday Dis-
patch Pittston Area Athlete of the Week for the week May
2-8.
Savakinus is hitting .594 on the season with 21 RBI and
21runs scored. He also has five homers, five doubles and a
triple among his 22 hits on the season.
Posters of Josh can be seen at Tony’s Pizza in Pittston,
and Smart Designs and Graphics in Wyoming, sponsors of
the Pittston Area Athlete of the Week.
The first time Wyoming Area’s Chris Hromek stepped
on the runway for the Triple Jump this season, the War-
riors didn’t know what to expect. Now they know.
Hromek finished first with a jump of 37’3 in an 80-70
win over Hanover, and also won the 800m and 1600m as
WA took an important WVC Division II win.
For his efforts, Chris has been named The Sunday Dis-
patch Wyoming Area Athlete of the Week for the week
May 2-8.
Hromek has won the 1600m four times coming into
this week’s action, and has added a win the 800m, and a
another win in the Triple Jump.
Posters of Chris can be seen at Januzzi’s Pizza in
Wyoming, and Smart Designs and Graphics, Wyoming,
sponsors of the Wyoming Area Athlete of the Week.
Old Forge’s Tony Goodall is known on the baseball dia-
mond for his pitching a defense. And while the crafty
righty earned another victory on the mound last week, it
was his bat that did some talking in a win over Lakeland.
Goodall drove in three runs on a homer and a double as
the Blue Devils rallied for a win over the Chiefs to remain
on the heels of first-place Valley View.
For his effort, Tony has been named The Sunday Dis-
patch Old Forge Athlete of the Week for the week May 2-8.
Goodall also picked up a complete-game win against
Holy Cross, allowing just one earned run while scattering
six hits and two walks. He struck out four Crusaders.

Joan Zawois-
ki Lewis, a
children’s sto-
ryteller whose
battle with pan-
creatic cancer
sparked good
deeds on all seven continents,
died Saturday, May 7, 2011, at
her daughter Jocelyn’s home in
Charlottesville, VA.
Born in Pringle, Joan was a
proud graduate of St. Hedwig’s
Elementary School. She cheered
at Pringle High, and graduated
from Larksville High School at
16. A great reader, Joan was
known as "Kid Dictionary." She
graduated from Wilkes College
with a degree in education, and
taught at schools in Pennsylva-
nia, New Jersey, and Connecti-
cut, including St. John the Evan-
gelist School, Pittston. She and
her husband, Attorney Michael J.
Lewis Jr., raised their family on
Park Place, Kingston. Joan was
deeply engaged in politics, and
the community, including the
League of Women Voters, the
Democratic Women’s Commit-
tee, the PTA, the Park Place As-
sociation, Lawyers Wives, and
Literacy Volunteers.
In 1980 Joan moved to Con-
necticut, and began a career as a
children’s storyteller. She was re-
nowned for her children’s story
hours, especially her babies pro-
grams, with their emphasis on
educating new mothers. Joan
firmly believed that mothers
should speak to their children as
though they were adults, and
read to them from birth. Joan
worked at both the Wallingford
and Meriden Libraries. Upon her
retirement, she moved to Char-
lottesville, Va., in 2008 to care
for her newborn grandson, Owen
Michael Paulson. Joan was diag-
nosed with end-stage pancreatic
cancer in September 2009, and
was expected to die within
weeks. Instead, she survived 20
months, and sparked good deeds
across the world. When she be-
came ill, Joan asked that, rather

than a fuss be made about her,
folk perform "good deeds" in her
honor, and then tell her about
them. Good deeds in honor of
"Joannie from Pringle" have
been documented in all 50 states,
and on all seven continents, in-
cluding Antarctica, by the family
of famous mountaineer Sir Ed-
mund Hillary. Joan crossed
many items off her "bucket list"
and lived to add new ones, in-
cluding a ride in a hot air balloon,
a trip to New York City, to stay at
her beloved Waldorf Hotel, and
visit the set of the television
show "The View," and watching
her grandson Leo Coltrane Ki-
vell row at St. Joseph’s Prep.
Most famously, this past March,
she traveled to Philadelphia, Pa.,
to watch the UCONN Women’s
Basketball team play in the
NCAA Tournament. When the
team heard of this last wish, they
invited her to a private team prac-
tice. After they beat Duke, Coach
Gene Auriemma credited their
win to Joan’s pep talk to the team.
There was extensive news cover-
age of this final trip, and she has
been the topic of inspirational
speeches and Sunday sermons in
churches from Bedford, N.Y., to
Gladwyne, Pa. Joan maintained
a lifelong interest in literacy,
sports, and world events until her
death. She was commenting ac-
tively on the political situation in
Afghanistan three days before
her death. Joan was an extraordi-
narily generous person, with a
deep love of family, and a prodi-
gious gift for friendship. She was
den mother to her own and her
children’s extended network of
friends, her home being "party
central" for dinner parties, and
annual costume parties in King-
ston, Connecticut, and Philadel-
phia. Joan was an exceptionally
hardy spirit who did not let ad-
versity get her down. When her
leg was shattered in an accident
shortly before her 60th birthday,
she told dubious doctors she
would dance the polka at her par-
ty - and she did. She showed the

same undaunted spirit after be-
coming ill with cancer two years
ago. She provided child care for
her youngest two grandchildren,
but also making sure to fulfill as
many lifelong dreams as possi-
ble, including the chance to meet
her favorite team - the UCONN
Women’s Basketball team - and
watch them practice.
Her facility for friendship last-
ed until the end, and is reflected
in her website on the Caring
Bridge that kept friends and fam-
ily connected during her brave
but characteristically upbeat bat-
tle with cancer. The site,
www.Caringbridge.org/visit/
joanniefrompringle, has re-
ceived more than 25,000 hits, or
visits. She spent her last year
helping to care for her youngest
grandchildren. The youngest,
Amy Elizabeth, was born five
months after Joan became ill.
Joan was determined to survive
until the baby was born and lived
long enough to teach her to walk.
She was preceded in death by
her parents, John and Eva Za-
woiski; her sister Evelyn Chuki-
nas; and her brother, John "Jack"
Zawoiski.
She is survived by her five
children, Dr. Michael J. Lewis
(Susan Glassman), Judy Lewis
(Tim Cheney), Jacqueline Le-
wis, Esq. (Sheldon Kivell), Jane
Lewis Lamb, Esq. (Peter Lamb),
and Jocelyn Lewis (Dr. Scott
Paulson); six grandchildren,
Kate, Colin, and Nora Cheney;
Leo Coltrane Kivell; and Owen
and Amy Paulson; her sister Do-
lores Kosisher; and numerous
nieces, nephews and cousins.
A Mass of Christian Burial

Church, Kingston. Interment St.

Pittston and Wyoming Areas join together for mock accident

PHOTOS BY JOHN LOMBARDO

Students learn big lesson
By: Kathleen Prest
On Thursday May 5, Pittston
Area’s Stand Tall Club and
Wyoming Area’s S.A.D.D.
Club joined together to present
a mock accident. It was held at
the Pittston Area Senior High
School and students from
Wyoming Area went there to
view the accident.
Students from both clubs
participated by being painted
up to look like they had really
been in the accident with fake
cuts and bruises. Eleven stu-
dents were involved, five from
Pittston Area and six from
Wyoming Area. Several police
cars, ambulances, firefighters,
and the county coroner were
there, as well as a life flight
helicopter, responding as if it
had been a real crash would
have been.
Juniors and seniors gathered
around to watch as the “Jaws
of Life” were used to free the
students from the vehicles. The
students got a firsthand view of
what would really happen in
the case of a severe accident.
Each year around prom sea-
son, many teen lives are taken
because they had been involved
in an accident, so school offi-
cials agreed to hold this before
prom to make students aware
of the dangers of driving under
the influence.
All photos were taken by
John Lombardo, a senior at PA.
Top photos show first re-
sponders coming to the acci-
dent. Pictured at bottom left is

Joyce reacting to news of the
accident. At bottom right is

Annual community outreach and scholarship celebration at WA

The second annual Communi-
ty Outreach and Scholarship Cel-
ebration will be held on Thurs-
day, May 26 in the high school
cafeteria. Doors will open at 5:30
and pictures will begin to be tak-
en at that time. The program will
begin at 7 p.m. after which more
pictures will be taken. Light re-
freshments will be served after
the program. The celebration of-
fers the opportunity for the com-
munity to extend its sincere ap-
preciation to the many civic
groups, individuals, families,
etc. who have donated scholar-
ships and awards to our graduat-
ing seniors for many years.
The evening offers donor
members and recipients and their
families the opportunity to meet,
get acquainted and share stories
with each other. In the past it was
rare that the donors and recip-
ients got to see each other at all or
for only a few minutes for a photo
session. Last year over 300 peo-
ple attended and the comments
from all those in attendance was
extremely positive. This year we
are expecting a similar size
crowd. Seven new scholarships
have been donated since we be-
gan this program, four of them
this year. We hope the communi-
ty will continue to be generous to
our students.
The committee for the second
annual Community Outreach
and Scholarship Celebration re-
minds the invited guests to be as
prompt as possible for the pic-
tures. It you have a conflict and
did not note it on your reply form,
please call Mrs. Rabel with our
concern(s) and a committee
member will contact you. The
purpose of the celebration is to
honor the graduating seniors
who are receiving scholarships
and to show appreciation to the
donors who are willing to reward
their recipients financially. It al-
so gives the donors and recip-
ients and their parents a chance to
talk to each other and learn more
about each other especially the
plans the seniors have for their
future. The response to the schol-
arship applications was out-
standing. Over 300 applications
were received for the scholar-
ships. Many of the scholarships
received over15 applications and
some received up to 30 applica-
tions.
Wyoming Area looks forward
to continuing this tradition of
recognizing and thanking the do-
nors of these scholarships who
have been doing this for many
many years. Wyoming Area also
wants to honor the seniors recip-
ients for their outstanding
achievements that merit these
awards as well as their parents for
their example, support and guid-
ance.

Pittston Area High School student win AmVets essay contest

PA students AMVETS
winners
By: Ali Quinn
Some Pittston Area high
school students were recently
told that they had won the 2011
AMVETS essay contest and had
a winner in each grade. Also, the
high school was honored by
having one of their social studies
teachers selected as an outstand-
ing teacher.
This year’s essay topic was
“Why Is It Important To Vote?”.
The winners were freshman Mi-
chael Schwab, sophomore Matt
Carroll, junior Kristi Naylor,
and senior Vince Riggi.
Michael Schwab is a student
in Mr. Sean Walsh’s Political
Science and Economics class.
He placed first place in the state
and first place in nationals. Mi-
chael was so shocked when high
earned a trip to Valley Forge in
November for placing first in
nationals. Michael’s teacher, Mr.
Sean Walsh, was overjoyed
when he found out about Mi-
chael’s accomplishments. He
said the essay contest was a
great way for students to show
what they have inside of them
and what they think.
Kristi Naylor is a student of
Mrs. Samantha Distasio’s
American Cultures class. Kristi
was surprised when Mr. Haas
told her that her essay placed
second in the state. She said "I
was surprised because I honestly
did not think my essay was that
good."
