On old friends and nicknames

I hope Sheilas there, I said to Mary Kay as we wound our way up Route 92 heading to Bartolais Winery in Harding last Saturday night. My wife knew I wasnt talking about my sister Sheila but about Sheila Gelb, whose husband Bill was the reason we were going where we were going. Bill, whos got a few years on me and Im 61, has just started a band, if you can believe that. Its called Bill Gelb and the Banana Hammocks and Bill, an accountant by day, is not the most unusual member. That might be the funeral director on electric bass, or maybe the high school basketball coach on lead vocals, or maybe their father on guitar. But thats another story for another day. For now, its sufficient to point out that the band was playing that night at the winery and I made it my business to see them. It would be really neat if Maureen and Charlie show up, I went on as we drove along. I havent laid eyes on those two in years. Maureen and Charlie are Sheilas and Bills kids. Theyre all grown up now but I remember when they were born. Heck, I remember when Sheila and Bill got married. Sheila and I worked together at this newspaper for many years starting when she got hired in 1968. I was only 18 but already had been on the staff a year. She was Sheila McKeown then, of West Avoca, and dont forget the West if you know whats good for you. Our most common bond was classic rock n roll music. Wed hear a song on the radio at work and try to recall who recorded it. Sheila and I were working side by side the day Elvis died. She broke the news to me. We played a little joke on Sheila the day before her wedding. She was and is a tiny little thing but she drove a big pink Cadillac about a block long. I made a sign that read From Here to Maternity and hung it on the drivers side door of the car. The whole staff stood in the parking lot and called her outside. Everyone had a good laugh, photographer Kenny Feeney took her picture, and then, before going back inside, Sheila looked straight at me and, pointing her thumb toward the sign, said, Now get it the hell off there. I did. And promptly hung it on the passenger side door. Sheila drove all the way home not knowing it was there. Well, it turned out Sheila was at the winery on Saturday. And so were Maureen and Charlie. And seeing them, in itself, made my night. How fabulous the band turned out to be was merely a bonus. But this isnt exactly about Bill Gelb and the Banana Hammocks, or about Bartolais Winery, or even about my old friend Sheila, per se. Its about nicknames, actually. See, any conversation about nicknames always makes me think of Sheila. Its often said everyone well, every guy who grew up in Greater Pittston has a nickname. I never did but I might be the only one. On page 24 today, youll find a list of some 300 nicknames of guys who are natives of or are connected to the town of Avoca (not to be confused with West Avoca, right, Sheila?) compiled by five fellas who call themselves the Romeo Club, an acronym for Retired Old Men Eating Out. Chief Romeo Jay Delaney asked me to publish it. Looking over the list made me think of Sheila and a day at the Sunday Dispatch back in 70 or 71. No computers in those days. Wed write our stories on typewriters mine was a manual and hand them to typesetters to be keyed into the system. Sheila was re-typing a story I wrote about a slow-pitch softball game which included more than a handful of nicknames when she stopped cold and said aloud: Bananas LaNunziata, Pickles Alaimo, Peanuts Trotta this sounds more like a grocery list than a softball team. The story didnt but could have included guys like Beefer Loftus and Peanutstick Cawley. A funny thing about nicknames, by the way, is that a lot of guys have no idea how they got them. One who does know, however, is Sheila Gelbs husband Bill, whose nickname is Handsome Bill. He knows how he got it because he gave it to himself. For as long as I can remember, this is how Bill has introduced himself: Hi. Im Bill Gelb but everyone calls me Handsome Bill so you can too. He usually follows with: My birthday is February 14 yes, Valentines Day. Wouldnt it be nice if you baked me a cake? Youd be surprised how many people do. Which suddenly makes me think of one of the few females I know with a nickname: Cathy Cakie Lawler. Wonder what became of her?

Home, race dream destroyed in fire

Hughestown family loses everything including dads dream race car
Associate Editor
By Jack Smiles
he fire at 252 Parsonage Street Monday night into Tuesday morning destroyed their home and virtually everything Sam and Mary Danaher and their four kids had. For nine-year-old Madison, the youngest of the four kids, the worst of the losses wasnt her stuff, rather it was, she said, Dads race car because he was dreaming about it since he was little. Her father Sam spent almost two years working on the car, a Monte Carlo, getting it ready for his first racing season, a dream he had, as his daughter said, since he was a kid. An uncle in Indiana gave him the car which he had to rebuild it from scratch. Every little penny I was able to scrape up went into it, Sam said. My uncle helped me over the phone from 250 miles away. We were getting competitive. My fellow racers were amazed. Now the car is destroyed halfway through Sams first racing season. He was ranked11th in the street stock division at Mountain Speedway in Butler Township, having made three top tens. One of his car sponsors is Dianes Deli on Main Street. A fund raiser there last night was supposed be for the race car, but wound up as a fund raiser for fire victims. The fire, which was likely electrical, started in a carport/garage behind the house. Mary and her son Adam, 14, were awake and watching TV The rest of the . family was asleep. Sometime be-

tween 11:30 and midnight Mary went into the kitchen and smelled smoke. She wasnt immediately alarmed as the odor of smoke wasnt unusual in the neighborhood of backyard fire pits and cookouts. As the smoke intensified she got her husband up. He went to the basement, checked the furnace and hot water heater. When he opened the door to the carport and peaked out he saw a wall of flame. He closed the door ran upstairs and got everybody out of the house, including the family dog, a golden retriever. Once outside, Sam, against the advice of police on the scene, ran around back and jumped in the
family car which was parked alongside the carport and drove it out of danger. It was hot. Flames were barreling over the top, he said. Sam said hes moved by the help and concern of people from friends and family to the Red Cross. You dont know who and what you have until you have a tragedy, he said. Its amazing. In the days after the fire, friends, family and even neighbors the Danahers didnt know that well showed up to help clean up and board up. Help is coming all the way from Ohio, where Marys sister

Hughestown fire chief disputes 18-minute response time claim

By Jack Smiles
Hughestown and Duryea volunteers were the first responders to the fire at the Danaher house on Parsonage Street Monday night in Hughestown at 11:55 p.m. The Hughestown Hose Company is less than a half-mile from the scene. Due to the heat and humidity, assistance was requested. In all 15 departments re-
sponded and firefighters worked in 15minute shifts. Hughestown Fire Chief Jamie Merlino said the houses double-wall, balloonframing construction, common in older homes, made fighting the fire labor intensive because flames get sucked into the space between the walls and spread throughout the frame. Witnesses at the scene said it took 18
minutes for the first truck to arrive. Merlino said any delay came before Hughestown was dispatched. The Hughestown Departments log shows the department was on scene in three minutes and two seconds after they were dispatched by 911. A Pittston Police cruiser happened by just as the Danahers were getting out of the house. One officer went into the Danaher house while the other alerted the
neighbors and got them out of their homes. Sam Danaher said the officer who went into the house may have opened the carport door, which may have inadvertently accelerated the fire. Merlino said officer Justin Tokar did the right thing by getting the neighbors out of their homes. Calls were not returned to messages left for the Pittston Police and the State Police Fire Marshal.

held a fund raiser before leaving for Pittston to help. The Danahers have insurance, but the race car isnt covered for such a loss. Mary said they will rebuild
their home and, hopefully one day, the race team. In the meantime they are staying with family, while the retriever is staying with a neighbor. Mary said feeling sorry for themselves isnt an option. Were all alive. I can sit back and cry all day or get my butt moving. .

First Fun Fest at Oblates Seminary Saturday

Day of food and fun to support ministries of Oblates of St. Joseph
Dispatch Intern
By Matt Powell
In 1878 Bishop Joseph Marello had a mission, to gather a family of priests and brothers who wanted to dedicate their lives to Jesus Christ in imitation of St. Joseph. The groups of men were called Oblates. As the Oblates of St. Joseph grew they decided to bring in lay people (non-ordained Christians) called the Josephite Marellian Laity to help expand the mission of the oblates. Today, the Oblates of St. Joseph in Laflin are continuing this mission. Elaine Fisher had a connection with the Oblates of St. Joseph for years. She would always attend the St. Josephs Novena, which is a nine-days of prayer dedicated to St. Joseph. According to Fisher, When
saying the prayer you may ask for anything you desire. Once the prayer is complete you let go and put the decision in Gods hands. One night while attending the Novena, Fisher was approached by Fr. Paul McDonnell, OSJ, who is both the Seminary Rector and Vocation Director at the Oblates of St. Joseph. It was the leadership, and wisdom of Fr. McDonnell that helped me decide to join the Josephite Marellian Laity, Fisher said. Fisher explained the purpose of the Josephite Marellian Laity: We are here to commit ourselves to the Oblates of St. Joseph and to serve the church, community, and our families through the heart of St. Joseph Marello. The Oblates of St Joseph do not have a set parish community. However, they pride themselves on guidance of young
people, foreign missions, and providing pastoral assistance in churches that are suffering a lack of clergy. According to Fisher, The Oblates of St. Joseph have nine priests who serve as Oblates and two of those priests serve non-English speaking parishioners. Fr. Victor Leon, O.S.J. is the assistant pastor of Holy Annunciation Parish, and directs the Hispanic Ministry. Fr. Alvaro De Oliveira from Brazil serves a Portuguese speaking community in Hazleton. To help continue their mission, the Oblate Fathers of Greater Pittston and their Lay Associates are planning the first ever FUN FEST 11, on the grounds of the Oblates of St. Joseph Seminary, Route 315, Laflin, on Saturday, August 13. Fisher, who is chairperson for the event, says, Its a great way to bring the community together.
The daylong event begins at noon and features a variety of food including homemade tripe, and pizza. There will be games for the children including water wars, pony rides, and a magic show at 3 p.m. along with performances by the band Sweet Pepper and the Long Hots (formerly known as Them Again) from 710 p.m. The event will also feature an outdoor chicken barbeque dinner with seating from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. Cost of dinner tickets are $9.00 for adults and $5.00 for children under 12. Tickets must be purchased at the seminary office prior to the event. Mass will be celebrated in the seminary chapel at 5 p.m. The event is open to the public and there is plenty of parking. For more information or if you would like to volunteer, ask for Elaine Fisher at 570-654-7542.
St. John the Evangelist bazaar on Thurs., Fri., Sat.

Its all part of the annual bazaar of the Parish Community of St. John the Evangelist which runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday, August 11, 12 and 13, from 5 to 11 p.m. each night.

Pittston gets $3 million for redevelopment

By Matt Hughes
The Times Leader
Pittstons Main Street redevelopment project will receive $3 million in state grant funding. U.S. Rep. Lou Barlettas office said it received notice from Gov. Tom Corbetts budget office Thursday morning that the project had been approved for a grant from the state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program and that the funds will be released in the very short term. This is very good news for the city, Redevelopment Authority Executive Director Gerard Mullarkey said. This is a project that spans several administrations, and it involves the efforts of many individuals on many levels, and to all of them we are very grateful. Mullarkey said the grant will be put toward the construction of a $6.45 million retail and office building to be developed by Gilbro Realty, Old Forge, on the northeast corner of North Main and William streets. The building is planned to include 6,800 square feet of firstfloor retail space and 9,100 square feet of office space. Some of the grant will also be put toward the renovation of a neighboring three-story building, the construction of off-street parking spaces and some streetscape revitalization work. The new building will take the place of a blighted property that had been purchased and demolished by the authority, as well as existing, neighboring buildings that have been purchased by the developer, Mullarkey said. Mullarkey said the project does not have firm start and completion dates because the city needed to await grant funding before it could move for-
ward. Until we got the word today that it was going to be approved, we were only essentially able to develop the application and the plan for the project, he said. Now well be able to begin moving forward with the initiation of those activities that are described in the application.

and encourage approval of its grant application. Governments at all levels are learning to do more with less, and theyre increasingly selective about the projects they fund, Barletta said. Pittstons Main Street redevelopment project is worth the investment, and Im proud to have played a role in securing funding for it.
State grant focus
According to the Governors Budget Office, The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program focuses the states limited capital grant resources on projects that display significant potential for spurring economic growth and creating jobs. Project proposals are evaluated on criteria including the number of jobs directly and indirectly
created by the project, the average wage for those jobs, benefit to the regional population and economy, spending and taxes generated by the project and any demolition or reuse of blighted properties involved in the project. Business plans must be approved by the governor to qualify for consideration.
Mullarkey said he was not sure what businesses might occupy the building, and referred that question to the developer. Attempts to reach Gilbro Realty on Thursday were unsuccessful. The planned project is one facet of Pittstons ongoing revitalization effort. The authority also received a $1.48 million grant from The Commonwealth Financing Authority in May to fund the acquisition and demolition of 12 parcels to make way for medical and health care offices and a public parking lot, as well as facade and exterior renovation work to existing buildings. That grant was funded by tax revenue generated by the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs casino as part of the Local Share Assessment Program. The city also is engaged in the second phase of its streetscape improvement project, which involves the addition of period light fixtures, paving, sidewalks, curbing restoration and treeplanting. The $2.3-million project is expected to wrap up by the end of the year, Mullarkey said. Barletta lauded the project. His spokesman, Shawn Kelly, said the representative wrote a letter and made several phone calls to Corbetts office to express his support for the project

Exploring the Land of the Incas

Special to the Dispatch
By Fred Gedrich
he urge for an exciting foreign adventure struck me again earlier this year. As a history buff, I studied and visited famous sites of ancient civilizations and cultures in places like China, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Israel, and Japan. However, my last significant trip to see them occurred more than a decade ago. I was beyond ready for another adventure. My oldest daughter, Darlene, came up with a perfect suggestion: a below the equator trip to South America to visit some famous Incan ruins in Peru with a group of family members and friends. It turned out to be one of the best vacations of our lives with fabulous sightseeing, hiking, and shopping complemented with a healthy dose of cheerful Peruvian hospitality and tasty cuisine. Our 10-day sojourn began in the last week of June, 2011. A night-bound flight, with a brief interlude at Lima, Perus International Airport, transported us from the United States to the several centuries old Incan capital city of Cusco. At 11,200 feet
above sea level, the altitude caused quite a body shock to nearly all of us almost immediately after stepping off the plane. Cusco served as the heart of the highly developed Inca civilization during the 13th through 16th centuries. At its zenith, the empire stretched from what is
now the Columbia/Ecuador border area to central Chile with a terrain made up of large areas of jungle, desert, rugged Andes highlands and a network of roads (trails) totaling about 14,000 miles. Some archeologists place the empires population at several
million, however, no one is certain because Incans didnt maintain written records. Incans were ruled by a king (called Inca in their native Quechua language) and worshiped Inti, the Sun God. Spanish conquistadors ended the Inca Empire in 1532, but many archeological ruins of the civi-
lization and traditions as well as its language remain in presentday Peru. Our arrival in Cusco coincided with the Inca Inti Ramy Feast, or Festival of the Sun. The event is held on June 24 every year (during the Winter Solstice when the sun is furthest away from earth) and draws hundreds of thousands of local, regional and global visitors. The majestic pre-Hispanic ceremony with hundreds of actors dressed in Inca-era costumes is held at the very places, Cuscos Koricancha Square and the ancient Sacsayhuaman fortress in the hills above the city, where ancient Incas worshiped and begged the Sun God to move the sun back closer to earth. After Cusco, we visited the Sacred Valley of the Incas in the Urubamba Valley. The valley is a 70 mile stretch running northwest from Cusco to Machu Picchu and nestled between some of the most gorgeous mountains on earth. It was in this fertile Wilcamayu River-fed land that many of the Incas settled and farmed potatoes, maize, fruits, and vegetables to feed the empire. While there we climbed some

The U.S. Supreme Court has let stand a lower court decision to grant a Catholic student group funding from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, despite the University argument that such funding from a public institution would violate the First Amendment. *** A new Michigan law doubles the minimum amount of fines given to parents of truant school children. The minimum fine is now $50 and maximum $1,000. *** The U.S. Supreme Court has let stand a lower court decision that a Texas law, which allows in-state retailers to fulfill mail order shipments but prohibits out-ofstate shops from doing the same, is constitutional. *** A new federal law requires states involved to withhold three percent of payments from vendors with whom they do business, insuring that vendors doing business with them are paying their federal taxes in full. *** A federal appeals court has reversed a judges decision that blocked Georgia elections officials from enforcing a nepotism law that bans the immediate family of school administrators from running for election to a local school board.

OUR OPINION MARIA REMEMBERS Blue and Red look ahead Thoughts on a rainy day
Two different groups of people can look at the same exact thing and see something entirely different. So it is with the budget deal President Obama, Congress and the Senate agreed to last week. Some on the political left are angry at Obama saying he and the Democrats in the House and Senate caved into the Tea Party Republicans by agreeing to spending cuts. Some on the political right are angry saying House Majority Leader John Boehner caved into Democrats by agreeing to cuts which wont come until years down the road and may include massive defense cuts. Were thinking that if both sides are mad, then something must be right about the deal. While its true as critics on the right say that the deal doesnt really cut spending, but rather slows the growth of projected spending, it is better than the unrestrained growth we have been experiencing. And while it is true, as critics on the left say, this puts entitlements and programs for the poor on the table it also contains triggers which could cut in other areas such as defense to preserve the safety net. Note that Donald Marron a member of George W. Bushs Council of Economics Advisers and no progressive says defense can be cut by billions, such as in weapon systems designed for large scale world wars and troop reductions in nonhot spots, without jeopardizing our security. Similarly, Patrick P. OCarroll -- Clintons own Inspector General of the Social Security Administration and hardly a right wing paragon -- says 10 percent of the agencys payments, or $7 billion, under the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program are improper in that they are going to individuals who either have unreported income that would make them ineligible or have recovered from their disabilities to the extent they can work. The latter comes under the waste, fraud and abuse mantra both sides parrot but do nothing about. Certainly there are redundant government agencies favored by Democrats which could be merged or eliminated. Certainly there are farm subsidies favored by Republicans which could be eliminated. We could go on but we hope weve made a point. Lets hope the special committee of Congress that is appointed to identify cuts gets it. All is quiet as I sit alone on the back porch. The twitter of birds is heard in various pitches, tones, chirps and squawks blending as into a concerto. Is it my imagination? I hear a bird cry out, Rain, rain! A gentle rain has begun to fall. It is a soothing and relaxing sound. One that through the years of life has brought great comfort. There have been times when I have prayed to hear the sound of the gentle splatter of raindrops. Soft rains brings solace. To me it seems a time when the world slows down leaving its frantic pace to a much calmer and quieter rhythm. Seated in a rocking chair listening and watching is mesmerizing stirring up feeling and thoughts. Glancing about the garden there are others savoring the freshness of the falling water. Droplets are forming on the leaves of the lilac bush gently cascading as on a silky slide, flowers lift up their heads to feel the rain upon their faces as done as children, the grass takes on a greener and fresher look, plants in the vegetable gardens bask in the pleasure of the watery gift sent from above while Mother Earth absorbs, embraces and appreciates for all her living greenery. The rain has taken on a heavier pace. Sounds of its mood are imminent on the splatter on the sidewalks, the melody as it hits the garbage can lids, the plinking sound on the metal patio roof and the thud as it falls into a deep empty bucket. The sounds interrupt my concentration and observation of the fluffy tailed squirrels scampering about the garden retreating into the safety of the tree branches. They do it with great speed seemingly avoiding the large raindrops. Thoughts are wandering to long ago times to childhood sitting behind the kitchen window watching the raindrops form patterns on the panes. The childhood chant Rain, rain go away. Come again another day is sing-songing in my head. Rainy days were a hindrance then. They kept us indoors and away from our playmates. We had no television to watch, video games to play, no cell phones to call or text our friends. No cries of Im bored were ever uttered. If we could not amuse ourselves, Mama found our amusement in the form of chores. Thinking of the many times we walked home from grade school in the pouring rain without an umbrella and did not seem to mind. It was the way of life and we survived. Of course, the school was a few blocks from home. Sitting quietly watching and listening, I realize that tears are falling. Why do tears appear when least expected? Are they happy tears, sad tears or just poor me tears? Looking into my heart this morning realizing the tears are

for all the people who have been part of my life and are no longer here. Their absences no matter how long a period of time stays locked within the heart. Faces and memories resurface with the realization of the adjustments made in life. Tears are falling for the changes that will occur whether prepared for or unprepared. Im thinking of my neighbor and friend who at this time last year and for many years past was filled with excitement and plans for the Annual St. Roccos Feast and procession. She began a few weeks prior with shopping and cooking to prepare a feast to serve to family and friends after the Saint was honored in front of her house. It was a tradition begun by her mother as a young woman with a promise if restored to health she would honor his feast day. An illness prevents my neighbor and friend from making preparations this year. In my mind, I miss the aroma and waffles of her cooking and the telephone call asking me to come to the back yard and being handed a dish of food to sample. But more than that I miss her excitement, joy and commitment to keep her mothers promise alive with her determination and faith. Slowly rocking, I smile to myself thinking what a wonderful relief the rain storm is after the week of intense heat. Such a cooling effect! The sensation that one can breathe easily without the aid of air conditioning and fans is refreshing. How great that windows can be opened to feel the fresh air billowing throughout the house! Ironically last night I had to shut the windows. The scent of a skunks spray flowed through the bedroom. Last Monday during the heavy rain storm Chet and I not once but twice due to neglect forgot to carry an umbrella sat in our car waiting for the storm to subside. A scene that occurs daily unfolded before our eyes. The United States Postal Service Creed in action. The mailman on our route was delivering mail doing his job ignoring the elements that had his shirt and Bermuda shorts plastered to his body. He was walking in soggy shoes. I wondered if he was shivering from the cold rain drops as we were. The determined look on his face was a credit to the post office unofficial creed, Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stops these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. The rain has stopped falling. Three baby sparrows have come out of their shelter to perch on the tip of a tree branch. A beautiful male cardinal appears to peck at the cantaloupe seeds left for his pleasure. It seems my feathered friends have begun to get on with the day. I shall too.
YOUR OPINION
Says breastfeeding is right in every culture
There are many varied cultural traditions that can influence the feeding practices of newborns; however, the biologic basis of breastfeeding ignores the cultural heritage of the childs parents. Talk to me! Breastfeeding; a 3D Experience is the theme of World Breastfeeding Week celebrated worldwide from August 1 through 7. This theme encompasses the depth and texture of time-place-talk across the many facets of a new mothers daily life. Even though the cultural message may differ, the biologic reality of breastfeeding benefits from close and frequent contact between mother and baby. Beginning immediately after birth a newborn infant may need up to ten or twelve breastfeeding conSee BREASTFEEDING, Page 31

Random notes on the news

Republicans can spend, too
Mary R. Ehret, MS, RD, LDN Penn State Cooperative Extension
Jam with the kids

Looking for a fun activity to do in the kitchen with kids? Making jam is easier than you think and just might be that fun thing that you are looking for. If this is an activity you would like to try, heres how. First, start with an approved USDA recipe. Penn State Extension offers a free series of fact sheets called Lets Preserve fact sheets. This series helps even the novice food preserver to safely preserve their food. The information below is part of the Jelly, Jam and Spreads fact sheet. Getting organized is one of the most important steps. First, read the information thoroughly and get all the materials ready. Its a good idea to do this the day before in case you need to purchase any items. Next, decide which type of jam you would like to make. Some jams can be made from fresh fruit, frozen fruit and or juice. Any of these can be used with commercially prepared powdered or liquid pectin. Powdered and liquid pectin products are not interchangeable. You cannot substitute one for another. Reduced- sugar pectin is also available. The order of combining ingredients depends on the type of pectin used in making jam. The complete directions for a variety of fruits and proved with packaged pectins. Here are directions to make Strawberry Freezer Jam. Make some to use now, but freeze some to enjoy year round.
Strawberry Freezer Jam
I love the irony of seeing Republican lawmakers running around handing out checks, especially after what just went down in Washington. Touhill came up with $6 million for Hanover. Barletta got $3 million for Pittston. Goes to show that when it comes to spending other peoples money, theyre just as handy as Democrats. Some of the $3 million grant for Pittston goes to the construction of a $6.45 million retail and office building at the corner of William and North Main and some other stuff. Not that I begrudge Pittston the money. They need it and can use it. Revilatizing an old small city is not easy nor cheap and there is no guarntee it will work, but they have to try.
Easy math
Lets say the federal deficit is $5 trillion in a fiscal year just to make the math easy. So they cut spending in that year $1 trillion. Now the deficit is $4 trillion. Then they raise taxes $1 trillion in that year. So is the deficit now $3 trillion? No its $4 trillion because the $1 trillion in taxes gets spent so they dont have to reduce spending by $2 trillion. Extrapolated that out.
Wrong rights
teresting guy and WILK would do well to have him on the air more than two hours a week. But, to nitpick about another misuse of the word right, Tarones motto for the show is Dedicated to the belief that you have a right to be heard. We dont have a right to be heard. We have a right to free speech, yes, but there is no requirement that anybody listen. We can turn off the radio. Sure, anyone can get on a soapbox on a corner and rap their gripes, but I can turn my hearing aid off as I walk by. The soap box rapper does not have a right to be heard, nor does anyone else. Newspapers have editors who are free to pick and chose which letters-writers get the privilege of getting their letters in the papers. Talk radio shows have screeners who pick and choose which callers get the privilege of being on the radio.
Ignored traffic laws
People who say gays have a right to marriage are confusing rights with privileges. There is no such thing as a right to get married for straights or gays. If it was a right wed just go out and do it. A man or woman, or two people of the same sex, or more than two people of either sex for that matter could just stand next to each other on the riverbank and say, Ok were married. But that wouldnt make them legally married because marriage requires a license from the state. Rights dont require licenses. And because the state licenses marriage it can refuse to grant a license to, say, first cousins, more than two people, a women and her St. Bernard, and, as most states do for better or worse, two people of the same sex. Dont gripe to me that Im a nasty old gayhating conservative. I was a guest at a same sex marriage last year. Because it was in a state which does not grant marriage licences to same sex couples it wasnt a legal marriage. They called it a committment ceremony. Too bad for them. I wish it was legal. Im not against states legalizing gay marriage, Im just pointing out the fact that marriage is not a right.
More wrong rights
In Wyoming the state police or PennDot, or maybe it was the local police, put out signs on Wyoming Avenue warning drivers to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. That would be fine because crosswalk laws have been ignored since they were passed. But its not fine because the paint on the crosswalks is mostly obliterated. Not that drivers would obey the law and stop for pedestrians in crosswalks even with new paint on the crosswalks. Most of them wouldnt stop for a little old lady with arms full of groceries in a pouring rain, or a guy walking an old slow beagle. I know, I tried it. Almost got killed. Speaking of ignored traffic laws, I drive I-80 a lot to and from Penn State, and 70 mph is standing still, 75 is like 60, and 80 is the norm. So whats the point of a 65 mph speed limit? Make it 80 and enforce it. Like, get that guy going 90 off my bumper.
Sick days for sale
Ingredients: 1 and 3/4 cups crushed strawberries (about 1 quart whole berries) 4 cups sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice* 1 pouch (3 oz.) liquid pectin First, measure1and 3/4 cups crushed strawberries. Its important to measure after you have crushed the berries. Place in an extra large bowl. Add sugar, mix well and let stand for 10 minutes. Measure lemon juice into a small bowl. Add liquid pectin and stir well. Stir into fruit and continue stirring for 3 minutes. Pour jam into freezer containers or canning jars, leaving inch headspace. Cover container. Let stand at room temperature until set (up to 24 hours). Label, then freeze or refrigerate. Makes about 4 half-pint jars. *The lemon juice in recipes such as this is an essential acid ingredient working with the pectin to create a good set. Penn State Extension also receives requests for jams and jellies using less sugar. There are pectins for or low sugar that can be made with Splenda or with less sugar or even sweetened with frozen condensed apple juice instead of sugar. The freezer jam pectins also use less sugar. Keep in mind that jams made with less sugar will generally be softer than those using the regular pectin. Uncooked jams and jellies are easy to prepare and have a fresh fruit taste. They can be made from fresh or frozen fruits or fruit juices. They must be stored in a refrigerator or freezer, but not until after the gel has formed. This could take up to 24 hours. Placing them in the freezer too soon will prevent the jam or jelly from setting. After the gel has formed, it can be kept up to three weeks in a refrigerator or up to a year in a freezer. Freezer storage is best for maintaining natural color as well as flavor. Room temperature is not recommended because uncooked jellied products will mold or ferment in a short time.

Do you get annoyed when you hear about school districts or the state or county buying back retiring employees sick days? How did such a ridiculous concept get traction in the first place? Answer: It was negotiated into contracts by the unions and the compliant state and gutless school districts. Its just another way for public sector unions to take money out your pockets and put it in theirs. How about this? Call it vacation, sick, personal, whatever, heres X amount of annual leave. If youre sick stay home. Use it or lose it.

Incas
archeological sites at Pisac and Ollantaytambo where some of the finest Incan architecture can be observed. The Incas built their buildings by placing stones together in such a tight fashion that mortar was not required and not even a thin knife blade could fit between them. This stoning method which defies age and withstands earthquakes was also used to build the famous agricultural terraces on mountainsides prevalent throughout the valley. After the sightseeing our group members, particularly the women, enjoyed shopping in some of the valleys colorful marketplaces that sell Incan-descendant made tapestries, clothing, and gold and silver jewelry. The last stop on our Sacred Valley tour was to see the magnificent Incan ruins at Machu Picchu. Of the many sites that demonstrate the power of the empire, Machu Picchu is the most compelling. Hiram Binghams discovery of the site occurred 100 years ago which he chronicled in the book: The Lost City of the Incas. The Incas built this architectural masterpiece sometime around

high). Getting to Machu Picchu from the Sacred Valley required a onehour train ride through the daunting Andes Mountains followed by a one-half hour bus ride up a steep, winding, dirt road. During our two-day stay we toured the ruins and some of us made the very difficult steep climbs on old Inca trails to the Sun Gate and the Old and New Peak summits. Having visited the Egyptian Pyramids at Giza, the ancient ruins in Rome and Athens, and the Old City of Jerusalem its my opinion that none compare to the natural beauty of the sun and clouds magically rising over Machu Picchu in the morning. Breathtaking only begins to describe what it really looks like. Throughout the trip we were exposed to the hauntingly beautiful sound of ancient Inca music emanating from panpipes and flutes. It played incessantly in my mind during the long return flight home accompanied by the indelible memories of what we had seen and experienced on the trip a sure sign that our vacation to the Land of the Incas was very special.

Fahey gives details of Ski Squad win

Question Why would most of James Jimbo Gubbiottis friends say he was a lucky kid in 1956, while his Mom might have remained apprehensive?
Peeking into the past

With Judy Minsavage
Duryeas Ski Squad In the July 17 Peeking into the Past, I asked if anyone knew the outcome of the Duryea and Old Forge teeners baseball championship game. Joe Faheys Duryea Ski Squad included Mark Roskowski, Jerry Zielinski, John Yesnowski, Bernie Nitowski and Pete Olshefski. Joe Fahey called to let us know that his Ski Team won 2-1 over Old Forge. John Yesnowski was the winning pitcher for Duryea. R.J. Rychleski was the losing pitcher for Old Forge. Yesnowski is a local basketball official and lives in Old Forge. His daughter Kelsi is a freshman basketball and softball player for the Blue Devils. Rychleski is a Special Teams Coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts. Thank you so much, Joe. 1956 55 Years Ago Clarence Helriegel of Hughestown retired at age 70 from the Lehigh Valley Railroad, a job hed held since 1903 operating passenger and freight runs between Sayre and Lehighton, but he wasnt slowing down. Having held a private pilots license before World War II, Helriegel was looking forward to getting back into flying planes. Fellow trainmen Paul Martini, Charles Miller, J.M. Moore, James Gildea, Ed Loftus, Andy Kepich, Bob Harman and Leo Swingle saw him off on his last day of work. With the razing of the Port Griffith Ewen Breaker owned by the Pennsylvania Coal Company and the Number 14 in Port Blanchard the once prosperous King Coal era slipped further into history joining the dismantled Butler, Central, Langcliffe, William A, Exeter and No 6 Breakers. The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked, Should more women be elected to public office? Mrs. Margaret Borzell of Falls answered, I think a womans place is in the home. Women are usually behind government officials offering advice, so why not remain in their behind-thescenes-role? James Fitzpatrick of Pittston said, I think theyd like to stay in their jobs at home, thats probably why women dont bother with politics now, they like their
life just the way it is. Dolores Mullarkey of Pittston added, Ill predict that in time we will have a woman president. Of course, that might be a long way from now, but someday it will happen. 1966 45 Years Ago Ike Solarchik of Duryea retired as custodian of the Duryea School District and started collecting glass bottles, all sorts, medicine, wine, and jugs of every size and shape. Then he went about his hobby of constructing small sailboats inside each one. With 120 separate parts, each sailboat was made of thread, wood, paper, straight pins and wire mesh. He completed approximately 50 sailboats for family and friends. Ike was a breaker boy at 13 and worked in the mines until 1936 when his health forced him to quit.
Hed pitched for the Duryea Tigers baseball team from 1916 to 1918. Airman Daniel C. Vidlicka USN, served aboard the Seventh Fleet attack aircraft carrier USS Constellation, which was stationed in the South China Sea off the coast of Vietnam. The North Vietnamese launched attacks on U.S. destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin in August 1964; Constellation was deployed and was the first U.S. warship to launch strikes against North Vietnamese vessels and bases. To read more about the history of this historic ship and its predecessors go to historicships.org. At Detatos Market in North Main Street, sirloin steak was $.79 per pound, pork roast $.45 per pound and a half gallon of ice cream was $.59. 1976 35 Years Ago Biagio Dente was officially inducted into the Honor Society of the American Culinary Federation in 1976. Mr. Dente along with his family traveled to Texas to receive a gold medal naming him Executive Chef. At the time, only 399 chefs held the distinction. During his
trip, Chef Dente collected menus from eleven states. The American Culinary Federation, Inc. was founded in 1929 in New York City. According to the Federations web site, in 1976 they changed the culinary industry by elevating the position of the executive chef from service status to the professional category in the U.S. Department of Labors Dictionary of Official Titles. Since this change, the culinary industry has grown tremendously. The Greater Pittston Lioness Club installed new officers Annette Pavlico, Barbara Tambur, Johanna Pavlico and Mary Soricelli. Sponsored by the Pittston Lions the womens club was the first of 500 such clubs in 18 nations of the world to join the new program and the eleventh such club in Pennsylvania. 1996 15 Years Ago Little League representatives Barry Przybyla, Hank Zielinski, of Wyoming/West Wyoming; Bob Smith and Mike Gerney of Exeter; Norm Chapman of Jenkins Township; Junior Bellanca, Pittston; Jim Manganiello, West Pittston; Joe Chimel and Mike Lokuta,

Laura Musto Kapalka goes all out to get members

By Alexandria Antonacci
WHY THE Y?
Dispatch Correspondent
Laura Musto Kapalka is the Membership Director at the Greater Pittston YMCA. Her job here involves a mixture of membership and business office duties. The part of the job I love is designing and marketing new membership opportunities, said Kapalka. Currently the YMCA has a great special going on: $120 for any membership with the membership valid until December 31, 2011. She is also currently working on a 3-month for $99 Tomato Festival Special which will start August 18. To help her work with the members more closely, she recently decided to bring back the suggestion box. We brought the suggestion box back because we truly want to hear feedback from our members, we want to make this the best experience possible for them, said Kapalka. She took a step further in improving the Y by getting a display TV for the front desk area. She explained, however, that it was quite a challenge to set up aside from the PowerPoint aspect. I am not an IT person and the technology involved to hook the system up baffled me. Luckily I have a few computer savvy desk attendants who helped me find and order the equipment I needed online and later helped me hook up the system. It is a great addition to our lobby and a great informational tool, said Kapalka. Even as a full time employee she feels that she spends most of her spare time at the Y. I love spinning and weight lifting. I actually train at the Y with my husband, Rich. He is a personal trainer here. We actually met at the YMCA when I was asked to write a press release about his personal training for the Dispatch, said Kapalka. The most rewarding part of my job has been overseeing our scholarship program. I have the privilege of working closely with our scholarship recipients and their stories are amazing and inspiring, said Kapalka. The Y provides about $45,000

a year in Child Care and Membership scholarships through funds allocated by the United Way of the Wyoming Valley and the YMCA Annual Campaign. We have been able to provide scholarships for children for Child Care allowing their parents who might be struggling and unemployed to find and secure jobs, improving their quality of life. My membership
scholarship recipients amaze me, said Kapalka. Most come to the program due to financial problems, she said. Many also have medical complications. I have one recipient who is a cancer patient. The scholarship allowed him to take yoga here which in turn helped him to manage his pain and he was able to stop taking pain medication, said Kapalka. She expressed that
stories like this are almost endless. These stories alone could make you realize that the Y is more than just a gym. The Y
physically houses a fitness center, aerobics classes, pool, gym and Child Care Center but actually houses so much more.
For the celebrations that mean the most to you.

Whats in a (nick) name? In Avoca, plenty

Five members of Romeo Club compile list of Avocans with nicknames
The call themselves the Romeo Club but its not what you think. This Romeo is an acronym for Retired Old Men Eating Out. There are five of them: Bob Donovan, retired electrical engineer and former resident of Avoca; Jay Delaney, former mayor of Hughestown and former resident of Avoca; Dr. Lew Druffner, retired medical doctor, volunteer at the Care and Concern Free Health Clinic in Pittston, and lifetime resident of Avoca; Joe Hannon, former mayor of Avoca and a lifetime resident of the borough; and Tom Cummings, former investigator and consultant for the IRS. What the first four have in common, of course, is Avoca. All are natives and two still live there. Cummings is from Dunmore but is considered an adopted Avocan with strong ties to several residents of the town. The group meets for lunch every three weeks at various restaurants in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. At one luncheon, Bob Donovan had an idea that came to him during a hospital stay in January of 2010: compile a list of all Avocans, alive and not, who are known by nicknames. A list was started and it became a topic of discussion at every luncheon. Club members easily came up with 90 names at first and then kept thinking of others. They solicited help from Joe Renzi, Stan Waleski, Red Patterson, Mike George and Mickey Volch and wound up with a list of about 300. Here it is, in alphabetical order no less: Malcolm Mac Alexander, Quentin Pete Algar, James Big Jim Allardyce Sr., James Dicey Allardyce, William Bunker Allen, Elsworth Elsie Atwell.

And the Beat Goes On

By Ryan O'Malley
311 and Sublime prove theyve survived the test of time

same ska-funk sound that Gaugh and Wilson have built a career on. And Rome, sounding almost too eerily like Nowell, is the perfect choice to make the outfit whole. However, the biggest pops of the night occurred during the older cuts like a spot-on take of its cover of the Grateful Dead classic Scarlet Begonias, which included Nowells original rap about life following a band on the road. On other classics such as April 29, 1992, Badfish, and the original lineups Number One hit What I Got, you could go deaf from the mutual screaming of 15,000 rabid fans reliving its younger days. After a brief break, the trio returned with a blistering version of its reggaefused hit Santeria, which served as the perfect ending to a nearly-perfect set. Following a half-hour break, the funk/rock/alternative/reggae collective 311 took the stage for a ferocious 20-song set, which kicked off with a rousing version of the crowd favorite Beautiful Disaster. Much like Sublime with Rome, 311 Nick Hexum, S.A. Martinez, P-Nut, Tim Mahoney and Chad Sexton brought out material from its new album Universal Pulse. Early in the set, the lead single Sunset In July proved that the band never lost touch with its almost rap/rock roots. Other rap/rock bands of the time, like Limp Bizkit, have lost its staying power, but the music and the message of 311 have always continued to thrive and elevate the band to new thresholds, like its headlining status today. But, like any good live act, the Omaha, Nebraska outfit realizes where its fans hearts are at: the older material. And like any good live act, they didnt disappoint. Ripping through cuts like Come Original, All Mixed Up, My Stoney Baby, and Amber, 311 kept the fans out of the seats and sent them into a dancing euphoria, with its mix of funk and rock, interspersed with a trippy light show. After ending the main set with the new Time Bomb, before launching into its early-era Number One hit Down, the band encored with a fitting Who Got the Herb?, followed by Creatures (For A While). If this tour can prove anything, its a wake-up call to people who remember the 90s as nothing more than a decade full of imposter boy bands and wannabe pop stars. Yes, they were a huge part of the decade, but where are most (not all) of them now? Surely not filling amphitheatres like Sublime With Rome and 311. Then again, that was the 90s, and things change. And the beat goes on Ryan OMalley is the music journalist for The Sunday Dispatch and a correspondent for The Weekender. He may be reached at musicjournalman@hotmail.com
For music fans, the 90s were like a chameleon. The decade started with the blown-out hair rock from the likes of Poison, and ended with the invasion of boy bands and more bubblegum pop stars. While many other genres were introduced during the 90s, two of the decades most appreciated acts, 311 and Sublime, have been embraced by the public well beyond their heyday and the subsequent pop takeover. To further prove the bands music perseverance, the two have joined forces for a fiery summer tour, which included a near-capacity stop at the Bethel Woods Center in Bethel, New York Monday, July 25. Taking the stage around 7, Sublime with Rome as its now known after a lawsuit from the estate of late original frontman Bradley Nowell prevented the trio from touring as Sublime hit fans with a tight Panic, the lead single from its newly released album Yours Truly. Although the trio Rome Ramirez
on guitar and vocals, Bud Gaugh on drums, and bassist Eric Wilson delivered a half dozen cuts from the new album, the band realized and respected that most fans were there to revisit the music that helped define a generation. With energetic runs through fan-favorites like Date Rape, Smoke Two Joints, and Wrong Way, it was nearly impossible to find someone who wasnt dancing during the 70minute set. Having the music make people get up and dance while giving a feel for life in the Long Beach region of California may have been one of the most appealing aspects of the original lineup, and the new version is doing a fine job in carrying on that tradition. After grabbing the audience with the old cuts, the trio managed to do one of the hardest things in music: keep the crowd dancing with new material. Tracks like Lovers Rock and Same Old Situation, have the

Avoca/Dupont; Pat Ratchford, Duryea and Art Savokinas, Pittston Township, were busy planning the 21st annual tournament of Little League Champions. Originally called the Vullo and Mall Merchants Tournament when it began in 1975, the tournament, in 1996, was sponsored by Savos Pizza. Answer Frank Gubbiotti of Exeter and Joseph McDonald of Inkerman built a quarter midget racer for Franks eight-year-old nephew Jimmy Gubbiotti to drive at Bone Stadium. Quarter midget racing, popular in California, was coming to Pennsylvania by way of the stadium and after seeing the GubbiottiMcDonald creation on display, other cars were set for production. Franks daughter Marilyn also enjoyed driving the racer which had Jimbo and streaks of lightning painted on its side. Being a mother is learning about strengths you didnt know you had, and dealing with fears you didnt know existed. - Linda Wooten

Breastfeeding
tacts every 24 hours. Within a few short weeks nursing mothers are eager to resume many of their usual activities with baby along. A baby has a need and a right to be fed, even in public. This kind of uninterrupted contact contributes to maintaining the recommended exclusive breastfeeding until the middle of babys first year. The benefits of breastfeeding with complementary foods continue for mother and baby well after the babys first birthday. Amy Spangler has said, While breastfeeding may not seem the right choice for every parent, it is the best choice for every baby. For more information on how breastfeeding can work for you and your baby contact The Luzerne County Breastfeeding
Coalition 570-808-5534. The Coalition is comprised of representatives from Northeastern Pennsylvania whose mission is to establish breastfeeding as the cultural norm in our community by advocating the promotion, protection, and support of breastfeeding. We believe that establishing more resources for breastfeeding mothers will encourage breastfeeding practices and improve breastfeeding outcomes. Local hospitals, Lactation Consultants, Maternal and Family Health Services, Pennsylvania Department of Health, Early Head Start, Nurse Family Partnership, and La Leche League, sit on this Coalition and new members are welcome.

Dupont Borough Council will review closing or providing 24hour police coverage at the Little League Park at the next borough meeting because of a reckless few individuals who have again vandalized the park.

The borough wont be able to rent the pavilion or have parties if it continues. Volunteers have worked countless hours to maintain the newly renovated park plus the borough efforts of obtaining grant funds to provide a variety of playground equipment for all to enjoy only having it destroyed by vandals in less than a year.

GWA wins Pennsylvania Senior title

Open Eastern Regional in New Jersey with 7-3 win
It was a big win for us, said Manager Dean Carey. To be able to beat the teams from the areas of Pittsburgh and Philadelphia Its part of your wildest dreams. It was a neat experience for all of us. Grove went 3-for-4 with a homer, double and four RBI to back the fourhit pitching of Nick OBrien. GWA had lost to top-seed Horsham, 13-3, on Saturday afternoon in East Pool play. His two-run bomb over the right centerfield wall extended the Greater Wyoming Area lead to 15-8 after Horsham had closed to within five runs midway through the contest. Matt Klimas also smacked three hits including two doubles - and drove in three runs for Greater Wyoming Area. Erik Walkowiak also doubled among his three hits, and Bart Chupka singled, doubled and drove in two runs. Joey Erzar chipped in with an RBI single, and Dylan Pegg stole three bases and scored twice. OBrien who also cracked three hits - struck out six to earn the win for GWA after relieving starter Mike Carey in the second inning. Jordan Zezza got the final two outs for GWA after OBrien maxed out on his pitch count.

The distance between Greater Wyoming Area and South Lewistown, Maine is well over 400 miles. However, when the teams met in the Little League Softball Eastern Regional 9-10 Tournament at the Christy Mathewson Little League in Fleetville on Thursday afternoon, the distance wasnt quite as far. GWA jumped out to an early lead in the semifinal game but Maine battled back to take a 5-4 win to advance to Fridays championship game against New Jersey. Greater Wyoming Area faced New York in the consolation game, a rematch of the locals 1-0 win that opened the tournament. The Greater Wyoming Area girls began the game by doing exactly what it has done all season be aggressive on the base paths. Gwen Glatz led off the game with a hard hit single down the left field line. Maines Danielle Cyr fielded the ball cleanly, but Glatz didnt care and stretched the single into a double by sliding safely into second under the tag. Stretching the single into a double proved to be huge for

By Rick Notari
After an unbeaten run through the district and sectional tournaments, the Greater Wyoming Area Junior All-Star team took on the rest of the state at the Pennsylvania Junior Softball Championships at the Indiana Little League last weekend. And the girls from the West Side did quite well for themselves. GWA finished first in East Pool
Play with a 2-0 record, but were eliminated from the tournament in a tough 7-3 semifinal loss to Dubois last Sunday. Overall the kids were great, said Manager Robert Bresnahan. From the first day of practice up until the final game it was a fine experience. The girls had a ball. We went from13 girls to a softball team. They jelled through the course the month. They came a long way on their own in the past year, playing travel
ball and working on their games. I like how they stuck together in the loss. In the loss to Dubois, Nicole Turner belted out three hits for Greater Wyoming Area. Sarah Coolbaugh added two hits for GWA, and Adrienne Przybyla, Emily Wolfgang and Drew and Bree Bednarski added chipped in with singles.
GWA 6, Bristol 0
In the final East Pool Play
game, GWA shutout Bristol behind the pitching of Nicole Cumbo, 6-0. It was one of the best pitched games I have seen her throw, said Bresnahan of starter Nicole Cumbo. She brought her A game that day. She threw terrific. Cumbo fanned 13 while walking just two in the complete-game effort. She also helped herself at the plate, driving in four runs on two hits, including a double. Heather Nemetko drove in the
other two runs with a double. Nicole Turner, Adrienne Przybyla, Lauren Maloney and Drew Bednarski all added singles and scored a run. The GWA Junior Softball AllStar roster was made up of, Jordan Kelly, Emily Wolfgang, Drew and Bree Bednarski, Nicole Turner, Nicole Cumbo, Adrienne Przybyla, Sarah Coolbaugh, Megan Bresnahan, Lindsay Carey, Lauren Maloney, Heather Nemetko, and Jules Scappaticci.

The Dupont 12U Girls Softball All-Star team dominated this past weeks Dunmore 12U All-Star tournament. Superb pitching, timely hitting and great defense enabled the collection of Greater Pittston Area girls to take home the trophy with an impressive 13-3 victory in the final game. Nina Cencetti picked up the victory with game MVP Honors going to Taylor Baloga. It was a true team effort with outstanding play all week from the entire team according to Dupont Coach Vito Quaglia. Two Dupont ASA 12U teams (Baloga Funeral Home & Bow Clinic) combined to form an AllStar unit made up of girls from Dupont, Jenkins Twp, Pittston, Pittston Twp. and Duryea. This years girls played together in the Dupont ASA league,
said Quaglia in an email to the Dispatch. In addition to playing for their respective town Little League softball teams, these girls also got to gel together as a true Greater Pittston squad. Basically we see the success the Greater Wyoming Area girls have been having, and we want to try to emulate that on this side of the river. With Dupont ASA as the base, the formation of Greater Pittston Area softball has begun. This will be a terrific way to get all the girls residing in the Pittston Area School District to play together and grow as teammates for future Pittston Area teams. Members of the Dupont AllStars were Taylor Baloga, Mia Barbieri, Mindina Lieback, Vicky Steinetz, Jordan Cegelka, Nina Cencetti, Dominique Quaglia, Mary Silinskie, Raechel Kochanowski, and Abby Bradigan. Coaches were John Baloga, Vito Quaglia, Mike Lieback, and Joe Cencetti.

Gatto sets jumping jacks standard

Old Forge grad sets Guinness World Record

FITNESS
Dispatch Staff
Old Forge resident and OFHS grad Brandon Gatto sets the Guinness World Record for most jumping jacks in a minute at Old Forge Veterans Memorial Stadium last Monday night.
PHOTO BY RICK NOTARI
ast Monday was National Sports Day. So there was no better f itting of a way for Old Forges Brandon Gatto to celebrate the holiday than with jumping jacks. The Penn State University grad and University of Pittsburgh Law School student was looking for a way to promote physical f itness and exercise, while at the same time etching his name into the Guinness Book of World Records. He decided jumping jacks was the way to do both. Onehundred and four jumping jacks to be exact. You ask Why?, said Gatto trying to catch his breath a few moments after his record-setting attempt. I ask, Why not? I never really had a reason. Its not for a cause or anything like that. I look at it as a general promotion of exercise. I always knew it was going to be a physical fitness related record. And I am proud to do that in a community that has a well established and longstanding tradition of athletics and athletic excellence. That has a lot to do with the good job our educators do our physical education teachers at (Old Forge High School) and our coaches of all of our athletic teams here. Originally, the former Blue Devils 1,000-yard tailback wanted to do pushups for a Guinness World Record. But the folks at Guinness told him the standard of pushups is too hard to measure. So Gatto jumped at the chance to set a standard where one was lacking. I wanted to do pushups, pushups in sixty seconds, said Gatto. But Guinness told me that the standard is
so tough to count so I looked for something else. I was surprised to f ind that they didnt have a record for jumping jacks, which really didnt make sense to me. If you look up on Google there are claims here and there which are not necessarily off icial but there are people trying this out. They just havent filed it with Guinness. So I am happy to be the f irst one for them. Gatto set his sixty-second record in front of about two dozen people, included family, friends and former coaches at Old Forges Veterans Memorial Stadium. Part of the requirement for the record to stand was the presence of media, along with video taping of the event which needed to also be supervised by two judges. Off the record the goal was 100, said Gatto. But I am happy with 104. It is better than most of, if not all of the unofficial claims. I think it is a good marker to set for being the inaugural record for Guinness. If someone breaks it tomorrow, they break it tomorrow. But I think its a good start. Gatto will now submit pictures and video to Guinness, along with all of the necessary paperwork before he can off icially be recognized as the Guinness Book of World Record holder for jumping jacks in a minute and possibly the f irst Old Forge resident to have his name listed in the book. I never looked into the history of Old Forge record breakers, said Gatto. To be honest its the f irst Ive heard of it. If (Old Forge) does already have someone it wouldnt surprise me because a lot of good things come out of this small town and I have the good fortune of being a part of it.

GWA second baseman Abigail Gober attempts a bunt against New York.
Greater Wyoming Area's Gwen Glatz struck out 15 batters in their Eastern Regional 9-10 softball tournament win against New York state champion South Orangetown last Sunday afternoon.
GLATZ
GWA as Glatz stole third and scored on a groundout by Aubrey Mytych for a 1-0 advantage. Brianna Pizzano extended the GWA lead to 2-0 in the top of the third when her perfect sacrifice bunt allowed Glatz to score easily from third base after she roped a triple down the left field line. South Lewistown cut the GWA lead in half in the bottom half of the third, but the Pennsylvania state champ ended the inning with a big play from its defense. With the bases loaded Aleah Kranson made a beautiful play on a ground ball to third, stepped on the base and then fired home to catcher Glatz who applied the tag in time for the double play. Kranson then singled to lead off the top of the fourth, and Cassidy Orzel followed with a single to left to move Kranson to third. Orzel was thrown out at second trying to stretch her hit to a double. Maddy Resciniti then drove home Kranson with a
single to right to increase the GWA lead to 3-1. But the Maine state champs batted around in the bottom half of the fourth and captured its first lead of the game after scoring four runs on three RBI singles and a pair of walks to take a 5-3 lead. GWA tried to answer in the top of the sixth, but came up with only one run as Kranson again led things off with a single to center. She moved to second on a passed ball, and went to third on a groundout by Orzel. Kranson then scored on a Abigail Gober groundout to third to get GWA within 5-4. But that was all GWA could get. Glatz finished with three hits on the day, and also struck out five of the six batters she faced in two innings of work for GWA. Kranson added two hits for the district, section and state champs.
GWA 6, Rhode Island 7
Area advanced to the Championship Semifinals on the strength of the run differential tie-breaker. GWA finished Pool A play with a 2-1 record to tie with Rhode Island and New York, but advanced with New York because both had a better run differential than RI. Maryland was the fourth team in Pool A and finished 0-3. The Pennsylvania champ earned the top seed from Pool A and faced Maine, the No. 2 seed from Pool B, in the semifinals. Pool B No. 1 seed New Jersey faced Pool A No. 2 seed New York in the other semi. Gwen Glatz singled and tripled with three RBI to lead GWA at the plate against Rhode Island. Maddy Resciniti added a single.

Kayak Fishing & pepperoni on a stick

Never let it be said that Im not up for trying new things. I love new adventures in the great outdoors, new challenges connected to my hobbies and of course I never say no to new foods. My job has afforded me many opportunities with all sorts of challenges. I can say that I have repelled from one hundred foot rock ledges, crawled around in caves filled with hibernating bats and carefully jumped from rock to rock though a snake denning area. My past adventures have also included wrestling deer trapped in nets, grabbing two foot hellbenders from under rocks in Pine Creek and submerging my body through a hole in a frozen lake. I dont think I will ever get tired of trying something new even if it isnt quite as exciting as some of my past adventures. I recently received an invitation to fish out of a kayak in the Susquehanna River. Dave Buck from Endless Mountain Outfitters of Sugar Run insisted that I would enjoy the fishing and the kayaking adventure. The kayak Dave provided for our morning on the river was designed by fishermen for fishermen. This one happened to be called the Commander Angler 14 foot. The seat was elevated and there was plenty of room for tackle and long legs. Bryan Kolodziej was the fishing guide for todays trip. We put our kayaks into the water at the Terrytown Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Access Area across the river from Wyalusing. We were armed with rubber worms called Yum Dingers and green colored tube baits. The trick is to paddle close enough to the shore and cast towards it. These kayaks were very stable and easy to maneuver into place. The fish quickly cooperated and a new adventure was written into the archives. I hooked into several bass with one actually strong enough to turn the kayak around a few times and thats part of the fun. I cant imagine the fight one would get if they hooked into a two foot catfish or carp. We continually moved downstream with the current and would paddle back upstream to fish the same hole twice. I sure the same type of fishing could be done with any kayak but I must seen 360 degrees. If you need more information on the rules and regulations, go to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission website at: http://fishandboat.com. Now its time for Pepperoni on a stick, but first an explanation. Like I wrote earlier in this article, I love trying new things including food. We were recently invited to join close friends of ours for an evening around their campfire at Frances Slocum State Park. We offered to bring along a few munchies but they insisted they had it all. My Polish background automatically envisioned kielbasa on a stick. After all its part of everyones campfire menu, isnt it? Much to my surprise, our friends of Italian background proceeded to cut up a stick of pepperoni into half inch slices. They then skewered them with a long metal fork and handed them to us. This was truly a violation of camping 101. I bet it is even against the Geneva Convention or something. This was just wrong. Pepperoni belongs on a cracker with cheese or on a pizza. Not cooking over an open fire. But I decided to take one for the team and join in on their ceremonial degrading of a fine piece of Pepperoni. The grease quickly started dripping into the fire. My nose caught a whiff of the fine pork juices sizzling on the red hot embers. It was quite intriguing. My mouth started watering as I waited for the all done signal. And then it happened. Jacobs camping history was written. The silver dollar sized piece of slightly crispy pepperoni was a culinary delight, a true strike of genius. It was an unprecedented meeting of Polish and Italian campfire etiquette. I cant help but think about what this family will come up with next. Who knows, maybe donuts on a stick. We would like to thank the Ciampi family from West Wyoming for the new experience. Be sure to watch Pennsylvania Outdoor Life tonight at 6:30 p.m. on WNEP. Weve dedicated this half hour to snakes of Pennsylvania including the one that visited our weather set last weekend. Have a great day!

admit the fishing kayaks have many added features. The three mile kayak fishing trip took us about four hours. We were not in a hurry to finish and we took our time fishing some of the nicer holes. I would recommend a day on the river in a kayak. Whether it includes a fishing rod or not is completely up to you. You will see our trip on the river in an upcoming story on WNEPS Pennsylvania Outdoor Life.

Every person in a kayak, canoe, inflatable raft or paddleboard must have on board a readily accessible U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket. Children 12 years of age and younger must wear their life jackets while underway on any boat 20 feet or less in length and on all canoes and kayaks. Life jackets save lives, so Wear It! The law also requires unpowered boat operators to carry some form of noise making de-

An athletic coachs whistle is an acceptable sound producing device. Clip it to your life jacket for easy access. Lights are also needed.

in allowing just one run in his stint. Granteed struck out four in his three innings of work as he also allowed just one run. But the GWA standout got the support of his teammates in the final two innings. Trailing 2-1, GWA scored two in the sixth to take a 3-2 lead, and added an insurance run in the seventh for the 4-2 advantage. Granteed, Trent Grove and Jordan Zezza all came up with RBI hits, and Mike Carey scored two runs for Greater Wyoming Area. The GWA defense also contributed mightily to the victory as Nick OBrien kept runners out of scoring position by displaying a strong arm in centerfield, and Carey recorded a huge double play, snagging a line drive before doubling up a runner at second base.

Greater Wyoming Area bounced back from its first loss of the all-star season with an 11-9 win over Coatesville as it earned the East Pool No. 2 seed at the Pennsylvania Senior Little League state tournament at the Cameron County Little League in Emporium last Sunday. And they needed a late rally to do so. Coatesville from suburban Philadelphia scored eight runs in the top of the sixth to take a 9-7 lead. But GWA responded with four runs in its half of the sixth to retake control. Jake Granteed earned the victory on the mound, and Erik Walkowiak preserved the win by striking out the side in the top of the seventh. Bart Chupka paced the GWA offense with two doubles, a single and two RBI, and Nick OBrien chipped in with a double and two singles. Joey Erzar added an RBI single for Greater Wyoming Area and Mike Carey scored two runs.
Regional notes
A New Jersey Team has won the East Regional the past 10 years. The last time a Pennsylvania team won the East Regional was in 1999 when the Franklin Little League won. The Marvine Dutch Gap LL from Scranton finished second last season. The Greater Wyoming Area roster is comprised of Mike Carey, Erik Walkowiak, Jake Granteed, Adam Romanowski, Tyler Wrubel, Nick OBrien, Freddie Cefalo, Trent Grove, Bart Chupka, Jordan Zezza, Bryant Clark, Matt Klimas, Dylan Pegg, Colin Herron and Joey Erzar. GWA is managed by Dean Carey and his coaching staff of Freddie Cefalo, Trent Grove, and Joe Bellino. Other teams playing in the Eastern Regional include Quincy, MA; Stony Point, NY;
Greater Wyoming Area opened the Little League Senior Baseball Eastern Regionals with a 7-3 win over host West Deptford, NJ on Friday night in Thorofare, NJ just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. For the first four innings of the victory, it looked as if GWA was in over its head. West Deptford pitcher Keith Wallace retired the first 11 hitters of the game, striking out six, as Greater Wyoming Area struggled to put the ball in play. But after Trent Grove and Bart Chupka put together back-to-back singles, a dropped pop-up that would have ended the fourth sent GWA on its way. The error allowed Dylan Pegg who was running for Grove to score from second, and moved Chupka to third. Chupka then scored on a passed ball, and just like that Greater Wyoming Area was ahead, 2-0. One inning later, Jordan Zezza blasted a solo homer to put GWA ahead, 3-0, and give starter Adam Romanowski a comfortable lead. Romanowski was also pitching a gem to that point, working out of a bases loaded jam in the first after some early control problems. The GWA righty struck out six over 5.2 innings before giving up a single and a homer as West Deptford got to within, 3-2. GWA answered in the sixth when Bart Chupka blasted a home run over the left centerfield fence to give the locals an insurance run and a 4-2 lead. One inning later, Greater Wyoming Area added three runs as Walkowiak doubled to lead off the inning before being knocked home by a Zezza single. Matt Klimas then drove in Zezza with a double, and would later score on a single by Mike Carey to push the advantage to 7-2. West Deptford added an unearned run in the seventh but Jake Granteed shut the door in relief of Romanowski. The victory put GWA into a game last night against Felton-Harrington, DE at 5 p.m. It is the Delaware state champs first game of the tournament. A win on Saturday would move GWA to Sunday in a game against either Waldo County, ME or Quincy, MA at 5 p.m. A loss to Delaware would give GWA the day off on Sunday and push them to an 11:30 a.m. game on Monday against the winner of the West Deptford v. Maine/Massachusetts loser game.

Kings College named to Forbes Best American Colleges list for fourth year
Kings College has again been included in an exclusive list of Best American Colleges compiled for Forbes magazine by The Center for College Affordability and Productivity. According to Forbes, selection to the list is based on things that matter the most to students: quality of teaching, great career prospects, graduation rates and low levels of debt. Unlike other national rankings, which separate institutions by size, cost or degrees offered, the Forbes list selects from among all public and private, baccalaureate, masters and doctoral degree granting, and liberal arts and research driven entities. Kings ranked 489 of 650 institutions overall and as one of the top 150 colleges and universities in the Northeast, finishing in 141st place. Less than 15 percent of the nearly 4,400 colleges and universities nationwide are included in Forbes fourth annual ranking of Americas Best Colleges. Kings was the only Luzerne County college or university included in the list and one of only two institutions (University of Scranton) in northeastern Pennsylvania. Both have been named to the list every year of its existence. Colleges and universities were included on the list based on performance in five areas. The areas, listed in order from most weighted to least, were post-graduate success, student satisfaction, student debt, four-year graduation rates and student receipt of nationally competitive awards. The Center for College Affordability and Productivity, based in Washington, D.C., is dedicated to research on the issues of rising costs and efficiency in higher education.
Abigail Maria Sankus is celebrating her eighth birthday on Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Abigail is the daughter of Edward and Sharon Sankus of Duryea. She is the granddaughter of Stanley and Rita Benczkowski of Hudson and the late Edward and Victoria Sankus of Duryea. Abigail has a brother, Edward.

Misericordia to celebrate 180th anniversary of Sister of Mercy

When she founded the Sisters of Mercy in 1831, Catherine McAuley encouraged her followers to go out in the community and do good deeds, not live behind cloistered walls as other religious groups did. With that community-minded directive, the order soon became known as the walking nuns. It was from these origins in Ireland, that the Sisters of Mercy came to the U.S. and in Catherine McAuleys stead, started ministries addressing critical needs involving women and children across the country, including the founding of Misericordia University in Dallas, Pa. Those whose lives have been touched by a Sister of Mercy will have the chance to say thank you at a unique event on Saturday, Sept. 10 that will celebrate both the 180th Anniversary of the founding of the Sisters of Mercy and a milestone in one of the orders most unique ministries, the 10th anniversary of the universitys Women with Children (WWC) Program. All proceeds from the Sisters Serving Sisters, Families Helping Families event will benefit the establishment of The Sisters of Mercy Scholarship for Women with Children at Misericordia University. This is an opportunity to recognize the spirit and determination of Catherine McAuley, whose drive and compassion led to the formation of the Sisters of Mercy, and those sisters whose foresight not only lantic Community. In northeastern Pennsylvania, the sisters founded Mercy Center, a nursing home for retired sisters and the elderly in Dallas, Pa.; Miriam Stadulis, RSM 62, established the McGlynn Learning Center, a tutoring and homework center serving hundreds of underprivileged children in Wilkes-Barre for the past 25 years; Project Remain ministers to the needs of the elderly in Wilkes-Barre; Lucille Brislin, RSM 73, founded Mercy Services, which offers tutorial work and programs for the disadvantaged in South Wilkes-Barre; Ruth Neely, RSM 96, is a nurse practitioner who directs the only primary care center for HIV patients in a seven county region; and Anne Paye, RSM 52, responded to a crisis in housing for women and children and founded the Catherine McAuley Center in 1979. Today, under the direction of Sister Therese Marques, RSM63, the McAuley Center offers housing at eight locations in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, including a transitional housing facility in Plymouth, Pa. The Sisters have also had a long-time presence in the delivery of healthcare in the region, and hope to use the money from the recent sale of Mercy hospitals in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton to continue to serve the needs of the region through outreach programs, Sister McGroarty adds. The Mercy presence in higher education also includes sponsorship of sixteen colleges and universities including four in the mid-Atlantic community. We hope that Sisters of Mercy from the many ministries will be able to join us at this event. We are asking their friends in the community to help make this possible by sponsoring their attendance, Helwig states. More information on Sisters Serving Sisters, Families Helping Families is available online at www.misericordia.edu/wwc. Tickets to the gala are $125 and are available by calling (570) 674-6719. Those who would like to honor a Sister of Mercy who has impacted their life or a mother in the Women with Children Program may sponsor their attendance at the gala with a gift of $125. In addition, direct gifts to the Sisters of Mercy Scholarship Fund for Women with Children can be sent to Office of Development, Misericordia University, 301 Lake St., Dallas, PA 18612. Pictured are Sisters of Mercy Jeanne Marie Devaney, RSM 58 (Financial Aid), Mary Theresa Glynn, RSM 58 (English faculty), Madeline Gill, RSM 56 (teacher education faculty), Mary Siena Finley, RSM 51 (founder of the Ethics Institute), and Joan Marie Broderick, RSM 62 (Career Counseling and Placement), had plenty of stories to share about their time spent in service to Misericordia when they gathered recently at Mercy Center.
founded Misericordia but launched numerous remarkable missions throughout the region, said Sue Helwig, vice president of University Advancement. We are also coming together to honor those who went above and beyond at Misericordia to create the unique WWC program attending to the needs of some of the most vulnerable in our community, single mothers with children. The celebration at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, Plains Township, Pa., will include a special announcement of the naming of the WWC program as the Ruth Mathews Bourger Women with Children Program. We are hoping the members of the community and our alumni will take the opportunity to rec-
ognize a Sister of Mercy who was instrumental in their lives, Helwig adds. A variety of sponsorship opportunities are available. The lineage of the RSMs in northeastern Pennsylvania began with a group that settled first in Pittsburgh then Hazleton and later in Wilkes-Barre, where they started St. Marys High School. It was those sisters who in 1912 first envisioned a college to serve the daughters of the coal miners of the region. Their ideas were put on hold by World War I, but soon after, a building was built and the doors of College Misericordia opened in 1924. I am constantly amazed by the insight and dedication of these women to start the first four-year college in Luzerne County, notes Jean Messaros,
RSM 73, vice president of student affairs at Misericordia. They were all doctorally educated, and took no salary so that their money went right into the running of the college. It was under Sister Messaros guidance that the Women with Children Program at Misericordia was established in 2000 offering a place to live and a support network for single women with children pursuing an education. The good works of the sisters go well beyond the walls of the university, touching the lives of countless members of the community, according to Catherine McGroarty, RSM 74, a member of the Misericordia Board of Trustees who just completed her tenure on the membership team of the Sisters of Mercy Mid-At-
