I always thought the first
thing technology would kill
would be currency, paper mon-
ey and weighty coins being
done away with by debit cards
and smart phone apps. I never
dreamed it would be hand-
writing. But that may well be
the case.
Talk of schools omitting
cursive writing as a curriculum
requirement go back a few
years but lately the concept is
gaining traction. I read that 44
states no longer mandate the
teaching of cursive writing.
Kids are still taught to print the
letters of the alphabet, but rath-
er than learning cursive writing
as the next step in their commu-
nication skill development, they
learn the keyboard. The peda-
gogy is clear: typing, not hand-
writing is the future.
A friend of mine dramatically
asks, Could this mean the end
of the signature?
Sounds crazy, but it just
might.
Our signatures, as uniquely
individual as they are, all grew
out of our mastery of cursive
writing our learning to pro-
duce curving, linked letters the
very same way as everyone
else. Adaptation to our personal
styles would come later and go
in all sorts of directions but the
foundation was the same.
I just scribbled down my own
signature and must say the only
hint at cursive training and,
believe me, a hint is all there is
is in the capital R., my middle
initial for Richard, and perhaps
the m and n at the end of
Ackerman. My signature is
straight up and down, not at all
slanted, and is more akin to
printing than writing. And the
capital E kicking it all off, if
standing alone, wouldnt re-
semble a letter of the alphabet
at all. Still, all the letters of
Edward and Ackerman are
linked to one another, a tenet of
cursive Ive not left behind.
What a contrast to my moms
signature, I thought, and even
to my wifes. Mary Kays is
about as cursive as it could be,
the kind that surely would gar-
ner a gold star in second grade.
How appropriate to our person-
alities, by the way Mary Kay
the more thoughtful, orderly
person; I the more haphazard,
impulsive one.
Id recognize Mary Kays
signature anywhere and she
mine. And more importantly,
wed recognize our own, a
hedge against forgery.
Can you imagine a time in
the future when such a thing
would not exist?
I can, my son said on the
phone Friday night.
Really? I asked.
I hardly ever sign my name,
he responded and he wasnt
kidding.
Hes 25 and up to his eyeballs
in technology, most of it in-
volving communication, and
has no problem with schools
teaching kids keyboarding
rather than handwriting. In fact,
he thinks its a good idea.
I never write on paper, he
added.
You do have a checking
account? I asked.
Of course, he answered, but
I never write a check. All my
bills are deducted automatically
from my account. And even if
they werent, Id pay them on-
line.
I got to thinking, not only
does my son never write a
check, he never writes any-
thing, not on paper anyway. He
always has an iPhone and an
iPad with him and thats where
he jots things down. While I
think pencil and paper, he
thinks keyboard and computer
screen. If hes the model then
the educators know what
theyre talking about. Who
needs handwriting?
Now that I think about it, this
has not happened overnight.
How many Christmas cards of
late have the senders name
laser printed in a carefully cho-
sen font? How many birthdays
are noted with e-cards that sing
from my computer but bear no
ones real signature?
Even birthday cakes have
gone techno with laser printed
photographs of the honored
guest where once there was
Happy Birthday in pink or
blue icing cursively squeezed
out of a tube by the chef with
the best handwriting?
What the demise of the sig-
nature will do to the whole
autograph business I have no
idea. But I imagine when Andy
Warhols prediction that some-
day everyone in America will
be famous for 15 minutes
comes to pass, autographs will
no longer count for a heck of a
lot. Which probably wouldnt
be a bad thing when all is said
and done.
On the whole, I suppose Im
not questioning the end of cur-
sive writing and possibly the
signature as much as Im just
trying to digest it.
Im having trouble picturing
the Declaration of Independ-
ence with a list of neatly typed
names at the bottom in place of
all those wild, demonstrative
signatures. Is it me or does
John Hancock tend to lose
something when envisioned in
Helvetica bold?

arrie Stella of Plains likes
to push her daughter Sa-
mantha ina stroller along
the Luzerne County National
Recreation Trail in Pittston, but
she doesnt like carrying the
stroller. Thats what she hadtodo
on Tuesday afternoon. She and
her walking companion had to
carefully carry the stroller
through a 25-foot long debris
field covering the trail near the
.04 mike marker.
Its pretty rough right now,
Stella said. Theyre going to
have to clean it up if they want to
keep it open.
Left by the flood, the debris is
mostly logs and branches, but
mid-week it also included a 55-
gallon drum, numerous plastic
containers, a Dominos pizza
sign and a toilet seat. At the
south end of the trail a gate under
the viaduct trapped another large
pile of debris with a boat seat,
pallets and tires scattered
through it.
All along the trail, lengths of
the fence are either missing or
bent at 45 degree angles and
there are deep ruts running
lengthwise on the crushed stone
trail bed and gullies across it. A
15-foot tree branch sits atop the
fence near the .02 mark crushing
the top pipe. Along the entire
trail where the fence is intact it is
intertwined with vegetation left
by the flood. The river was four
to five feet deep on the trail and
raging at the rivers crest.
The crushed stone was loos-
ened along much of the path and,
coupled with the debris, makes
the trail unsuitable for jogging or
even a brisk walk without a pair
of heavy shoes.
The missing sections of the
fence which is supposed to sep-
arate the trail fromthe still-active
rail line create a safety issue.
Luzerne County National
Recreation Trail, Inc. is the non-
profit organization which de-
signed the trail, raised money
and applied for grants. Keith
Moss is the non-profits presi-
dent.
The trail is on the right-of-way
of the Luzerne County Railroad,
which is under the umbrella of
the Luzerne County Redevelop-
ment Authority. Under the
agreement the non-profit had
with the authority, the authority
is responsible for trail mainte-
nance.
Redevelopment Authority di-
rector Andy Reilly said mainte-
nance of the trail which has
been hit by vandalism, littering
and dumping is tough under
normal circumstances. Its

oose Lodge adminis-
trator Bernie Cassetori
was talking to some
members one dayabout the flood
when he wondered aloud,
Where are all those people who
go to Agolinos for Sunday
breakfast going?
Then the idea hit him: provide
an alternative with a breakfast
buffet at the Moose. And for
good measure why not a break-
fast prepared by an executive
chef?
He calledPat Greenfield, own-
er and chef of Gricos in Exeter
which is closed since it was se-
verely damaged by fire on Au-
gust 26. Bernie asked me,
Greenfield said. Hes a good
friend and when he asked me I
said yes.
Cassetori said he and Green-
field became friends over 20
years ago when she bought Gri-
cos. It was my favorite restau-
rant. Its the kind of place where
you go in and they know what
you want.
The breakfast has been offered
for four weeks, the fifth week is
today, and its grown by word of
mouth each week.
Cassetori said the breakfast
wont be permanent. There will
come a day when it will end.
Agolinos is expected to be
closed eight weeks, so maybe
four more weeks.
Cassetori said the breakfast in-
volves serving more than just
food. Were happy the people in
are town getting together. Its a
nice little mixer.
Greenfield said she has con-
nected with some of her Gricos
customers at the breakfast. Its
funtosee everybody. Andits fun
to get up at 4:30, she added with
a laugh.
The breakfast, which Green-
field calls Moose Sunday
Munch runs from 7 a.m. to
12:30 p.m. Its an all-you-can-eat
deal withbasics like eggs, bacon,
sausage, hash browns, fresh fruit
and pastries served with hot cof-
fee, tea and juices.
And there are extras like
pumpkin pecan pancakes with
cinnamon butter and maple syr-
up and, today, an apple crisp.
The cost is $6.95plus tax and
$4.00 for children under 10.
The Moose Lodge is at 425
Exeter Avenue in West Pittston.
The phone is 654-1635
Greenfield said she has no
long range plans concerning reo-
pening Gricos or opening a res-
taurant at a different location.
Im waiting to see what hap-
pens with insurance and stuff. I
have options and offers and Im
waiting to see how things work
out. Im taking it slowly.
In the meantime Greenfield is
keeping her catering business
going working out of the old Set-
on Catholic high school kitchen
which she rented. She said shes
been busy with weddings and
parties, and shes booking
Christmas parties.

T
he new Eighth Street
Bridge is finished, but the
east side entrance isnt.
Motorists traveling south in Jen-
kins Township have to negotiate
a sharp turn around a construc-
tion barrier to get on the bridge.
The new bridge opened in
March and the east section of the
old bridge was taken down in Ju-
ly. The rest of the bridge was sup-
posed to be taken down in Au-
gust. The east side entrance was
supposed to be completed in
September. But the flood and
continued high water has put
work on the bridge on hold. A
large crane sits idle where the
turning lane should be.
James May of the PennDOT
Community Relations Depart-
ment talked to the project engi-
neer this week and relayed an ex-
planation.
Its a domino effect, May
said. We cant finish the turning
lane until we move the equip-
ment and barrier; we cant move
the equipment and barrier until
we finish the wing wall; and we
cant finish the wing wall until
the water goes down.
The wing walls keep dirt and
mud from the river away from
the bridge.
The domino theory goes for
the causeway which was built to
catch the old bridge section
when it was taken down. The
causeway has to be moved under
the still-standing section of the
old bridge before it is demol-
ished and the causeway cant be
moved until the water goes
down.
May said the river must recede
to six feet before the job can be
finished. The bridge was not
damaged by the flooding.
The river level at Wilkes-Barre
was 9.4 on Friday.
River must recede before bridge can proceed

daunting, he said. I would say
if we were asked today we
wouldnt make that agreement.
As to the flood damage, Reilly
said he would send a crew to the
trail to see what they could do
temporarily to make the area
safer. As to a major repair, that
will have to wait. We dont have
the manpower to do it right now.
Were spreadtoothin. We have to
see if we can get some disaster
relief.
Pittston city manager Joe
Moskovitz said it is possible FE-
MA will help with some money
for clean up and repair of the
trail.
He said while FEMA doesnt
have programs to restore flooded
recreation areas, per se, help
might be available for govern-
ment capital investments, which
could include the trail.
He said he will ask about that
when he meets with FEMA in
two weeks.
The 1.5-mile trial provides ac-
cess to markers for the Knox
Mine Disaster site and the Eagle
Air Shaft, an escape route for
Knox survivors. The trail opened
in June of 2007.
Along-range plan calls for the
trail to eventually connect
Wilkes-Barre with the Lacka-
wanna River Heritage Trail, a
40-mile trail planned to run from
Union Dale in Susquehanna
County through communities in
Lackawanna County to Duryea
and Pittston.

FACTS OF
LAW
Brought to you as a paid public service by
the Law Ofces of Dominick P. Pannunzio,
294 Main Street, Dupont, 655-5541
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
Wisconsin has a new law that prohibits communities
from making their employers offer paid sick leave
to their workers. The law was passed after a state
appeals court upheld a Milwaukee ordinance that
required the fringe beneft. The new state law nullifes
the Milwaukee ordinance, which 69% of city voters
approved in a referendum in 2008.
***
People have no right to resist if police offcers illegally
enter their home, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled
in a decision that overturns centuries of common
law. The court issued its 3-2 ruling on Thursday,
contending that allowing residents to resist offcers
who enter their homes without any right would
increase the risk of violent confrontation. Justices
Robert Rucker and Brent Dickson strongly dissented,
saying the ruling runs afoul of the U.S. Constitutions
Fourth Amendment against unreasonable search
and seizure.
***
The Georgia Supreme Court has struck down a law
that allowed the state to approve and fund charter
schools over the objection of local school boards.
***
A newVermont Law makes it easier to band together
to use net metering, which lets customers generate
their own electricity and ship extra power back to the
utility to lower their bill.
***
Wyomings supreme court has unanimously reversed
a district court ruling, thereby allowing a Wyoming
same-sex couple to obtain a divorce, even though
Wyoming doesnt recognize same-sex marriages.
Texas courts have taken the opposite position.
Editors note: Ryan Jones, 30,
a native of Exeter and a Wyom-
ing Area graduate, died on
Wednesday in Nashville where
he was aprofessional county mu-
sic musician with the LoCash
Cowboys and where he was
known as Troop. He was the
son of Marilyn Gubbioti, well
known funeral director from
Exeter.
His obituary is on page 58.
Jessica Sabol was a close
friend of Ryan from their days at
Wyoming Area. She was in the
WA Drama Club with him and
performed with him in a few mu-
sicals including Guys and
Dolls in1997. She is a periodic
contributor to the Sunday Dis-
patch.
I open my mouth to the Lord,
and I wont turn back.
For those of us who had the
privilege to know him, Ryan
Troop Jones was nothing short
of a phenomenon.
You see, there was just some-
thing about him. He wasnt your
average person; he wasnt your
average guy.
In fact, Ryan was much more
than that. He was everything a
mother would want in her son,
everything a father would want
ina future son-in-law, everything
a teacher would want to become
of his or her student, and every-
thing a friend would want in an-
other friend.
At the age of three, when other
kiddos were busy collecting toy
cars and trucks, Ryan was busy
finding his love, his passion, and
his excellence as a classical vio-
linist.
As a senior in high school,
when other teens were too wor-
ried about the latest gossip, Ryan
was playing alongside the Char-
lie Daniels Band at the Kirby
Center.
In his 20s, when others his age
were consumed with partying
and crazy lifestyles, Ryan took a
chance, packed his bags, and
headed to Nashville. Armed
with a fiddle and some flair,
Ryan found his calling, and he
certainly wasnt going to turn
back.
I will go. I shall go.
In2005, Ryanjoinedthe coun-
try music band, LoCash Boys.
He had made it.
The young boy from Exeter
whoonce performedonthe stage
at Wyoming Area was now a
touring musician, making a liv-
ing and a life for himself doing
what he loved. His enthusiasm
for life spilled over in his per-
formances.
Ryan was a true artist. He un-
derstood what it felt like to have
the need to create and was able
to share his creations with every-
one he touched.
Ryan was known throughout
the music community as the mu-
sician who twirled his bow,
tossed it in the air, and never
failed to sing out loud to the song
in his heart.
Ill see what the end is going to
be.
Ryanlivedhis life tothe fullest
every day. He was an unbeliev-
able talent and a gentle soul. Ev-
eryone who knew him loved
him. When you spoke to him, he
actually listened. If you were
down on your luck, hed be right
there to pick you back up. He
was a true gentleman, a class act.
Ryan left us on October 19 to
share his talent with a new audi-
ence in the heavens above.
To Marilyn Gubbiotti, Ryans
beloved mother: I know that
words cannot heal. All I will say
is thank you; thank you for
bringing Ryan into this world
and for raising such a wonderful
son.
Know that he left a beautiful
mark on every person he met.
Knowthat he will never be for-
gotten.
Know that Ryans Army is
right here right beside you
every step of the way.
I open my mouth to the Lord,
and I wont turn back. I will go. I
shall go. Ill see what the end is
going to be.

West Wyomings Joseph A.
Cipriani, Jr., Ed.D., O.T.R./L.,
professor of occupational ther-
apy at Misericordia University,
had an article published in the in-
ternational journal, Nursing and
Residential Care, in October.
The article, Improving Men-
tal Health Through Giving Ac-
tivities, was published in the
volume 13, issue 10 October
2011, pages 490-492 of the Unit-
ed Kingdom-based journal upon
invitation of the journals editor.
The article focuses on howolder
adults who live in nursing homes
have needs that arent met when
they are passive recipients of
care for their basic needs. One of
those unmet needs is to do things
for others. Dr. Ciprianis piece
gives practical suggestions for
programming based on what the
research says about altruism.
Dr. Cipriani earned his B.A.
degree from Wilkes College, a
B.S. degree from Misericordia
University, M.A. degree from
Wichita State University, and his
Ed.D. from Nova Southeastern
University. Dr. Cipriani is a full
professor in the Department of
Occupational Therapy. Professor
Cipriani has presented 12 papers
at national or international con-
ferences in occupational therapy,
ofteninconjunctionwithstudent
research groups. He has present-
ed in venues as diverse as the
American Occupational Ther-
apy Association National Con-
ferences; World Federation of
Occupational Therapists Con-
gress (Montreal, Canada; Stock-
holm, Sweden), and the World
Congress of Rehabilitation In-
ternational (Oslo, Norway).
He has also co-authored 11 ar-
ticles in professional journals,
and written two book chapters.
Dr. Cipriani has published in
well known journals such as
Physical and Occupational Ther-
apy in Geriatrics; The Australian
Journal of Occupational Ther-
apy; The World Federation of
Occupational Therapists Bulle-
tin; Arthritis Care and Research;
and has an article in press in the
British Journal of Occupational
Therapy. Most of his published
research has been in the practice
area of geriatrics and has been
co-authored by students within
the occupational therapy pro-
gram. Dr. Cipriani was honored
with the 1995 Misericordia Uni-
versity Teaching Excellence
Award and in 2007, the Lewis &
Barbara Alesi Excellence in
Scholarship Award. He is one of
only4professors inthe historyof
Misericordia University to win
more than one of the three high-
est faculty awards.
Cipriani resides in West
Wyoming with his wife Eileen.
They have two sons, David, a
sophomore at Kings and Mi-
chael, ajunior at WyomingArea.

Understandably a recreational trail is at
the bottom of the flood damage clean up
and repair list. As the story on page 3 ex-
plains, the Luzerne County National Rec-
reation Trail, as the trail along the river in
Pittston is officially called, was extensive-
ly damaged by the flood.
It will likely take several months to get
the trail back to pre-flood shape. But what
kind of shape was that?
Even before the flood the trail needed
maintenance.
Problems on the trail began as soon as it
opened to much fanfare in June, 2007 af-
ter years of planning and at a cost of
$800,000 in grant money. The 1.8-mile
trail wasnt even open 24 hours when a
250-foot section of the fence which sep-
arates the trail and the active rail line was
taken down in an act of vandalism.
Since then the vandalism, littering and
dumping have continued. The condition
of the trail has discouraged use by walkers
and joggers and the under-use has only di-
minishedthe urgencytomaintainthe trail.
When we called the city to ask who is
responsible for trail maintenance we were
referred tothe non-profit Luzerne County
National Recreation Trail, Inc. A call
there sent us to the Luzerne County Rede-
velopment Authority which owns the rail-
road. The Authority would have liked to
pass the buck, too, but it couldnt. Under
the original agreement with the trail non-
profit, the authority agreed to maintain
the trail. Now, Andy Reilly, the authority
director, said if they had it to do over again
they would not have made that agreement.
What is needed is a coalition of volun-
teers to maintain the trail as is done at the
Back Mountain Trail. There college stu-
dents, high school groups, scout troops,
the trail association members, various
clubs and individual community-minded
volunteers get together twice a year, at
least, to clean and maintain the trail.
Cleaning and maintaining the trail
could be a good project for high school
clubs and church youth groups, our own
scout troops, service organizations, etc.
The YMCA used the trail for a Fun Run/
Walk event. Maybe they would help out.
While its true the Authority agreed to
maintainit, that doesnt mean, inour view,
the non-profit trail group should consider
its job done just because the trail was
completed.
Maybe the non-profit would agree to
spearhead a volunteer group and organize
periodic cleanups.
Something has to be done.
Dont fail
the trail
The Humpty Dumpty Mothers Klub wanted to say thank you
to the people of West Pittston for their turnout for the bake sale
we held at Gerritys in West Pittston. We have a few families of
children that attend our school that were affected by the flood
and wanted to do something to show our support for them.
I had called a fewstores to ask if we could hold the bake sale at
their storefronts. Not all were as nice or accommodating as Ger-
ritys. We were told it was no problem...anytimeany day... we
could use their store. As many times as we needed they would
allow it.
They gave us an extra table, garbage bags we forgot and
checked numerous times to see if we needed anything else. The
parents of the band and football players had even offered to let us
set up a table at their homecoming if we needed.
The people of West Pittston and their surrounds are such a
close knit community. They stopped to purchase baked goods,
talk and even just to donate money. It was heartwarming to see
this over the 4 hours we were there.
Thanks to all the moms at Humpty Dumpty and their family
and friends that baked delicious things for us to sell. It was a big
success!

Spencer was at the youth football game
last Sunday between the West Pittston

I had my eight year old son (AdamSig-

I heard coach Spencer say to Adam,

They shook hands and their conversa-

PART I
Last October right in time for Breast Cancer
Awareness Month I was rudely and without cere-
mony, personally made aware. My segue into this
new world began in the way many breast cancers
take center stagevia a lump, about the size of a
pea, under my arm.
Im typically hyper-vigilant about my health.
Imnot a wait and see kind of a woman. If I were
a wait and see kind of a woman, I wouldve never
gottenmarried, procreatedor aggressivelypasseda
kidney stone the size and shape of the Liberty Bell.
Upon poking and prodding the inconvenient
lump, my trusty OBGYN sent me to a breast sur-
geon, STAT, and this forged the events leading up
to an intrusive biopsy of three tumors. I felt only
one, but, because things like to hide in the cush-
iness of my cozy fat cells, there were actually two
more tumors, shying away fromthe spotlight, com-
ing out to play only under
the glaring Doppler activ-
ity of an ultra sound.
Well, a biopsy is no
laughing matter. Its as se-
rious as a heart attack, or
potentially, as serious as
cancer, I suppose. At any
rate, because I needed a
responsible person to
drive me home, post-pro-
cedure, I asked my hus-
band to escort me to the
biopsy party. He does not enjoy this accompanist
role, especially if it involves biological functions,
anatomical issues or any type of diarrhea or after-
birth.
Regardless, we set-out for the Pepto-pink-walled
cocoon of The Breast Center. Yes, that is really the
name.
Once there, I was quickly retrieved frommy gos-
sip magazine-induced catatonic state in the waiting
room, although I begged them to take their time.
Take all the time you need! Have a little snack, read
your horoscope, do your nails! I was in no hurry
to have my ta-tas on stage, awaiting their biopsy
premier. But, I trudged along behind the kind and
perky nurse, disrobed and hopped up onto the san-
itized and very, very cold table.
We were off to the races and the games began.
Even without my glasses I was able to see the
needle pierce the tumor on the screen. I was ready
for my close-up, but not that ready. I felt weak-
kneed and faint-hearted.
Although outwardly, it appeared as if I were at-
tentive, inwardly I decided to pretend-meditate
andthis is what was goingoninmyhead: Ommm-
m.I should have shaved my armpitsOhmmm-
mI should not have had that slushie on the way
overOhmmmmI hope they cant see that I for-
got to zipper my jeans OHMMMMuh-ohI
think I just left a little stinker...
And on it went.
Just as I was about to wet my pants, it was over.
The questionable tissue was extracted and sent to a
lab in Biopsy-ville, where, I prayed, the pathologist
was alert and attentive and not texting her boy-
friend instead of analyzing my boob sample for
cancer.
I received my instructions from the nurse and
kept coming back to the order of no golf or water
aerobics for a month. That tidbit will come in
handy.
Before leaving, I was packed with steri-strips
and a big, old ice pack. I felt like a bruised margar-
ita. The nurse handed-me off to my husband, who,
Im certain, still had no idea what just transpired.
Guess what? I shrieked brightly. The nurse
said you cant golf or participate in water aerobics
for a month! Tough break, huh?
He looked to the nurse in confusion. Before she
could speak I shouted: AND! For ME: No wash-
ing, cooking, cleaning,
heavy lifting or um-
cleaning dog vomit
from the rug for a month
either! Look, Imjust rec-
iting doctors orders.
The poor nurse looked
around helplessly.
AND! One more
thing! The doctor said it
would ease my recovery
to have a pair of 1carat be-
zel-set diamond earrings
too! Crazy, right? But whatever it takes to get Ma-
ma on the mend
He escorted me from the Breast Center as I was
shouting further instructions involving Mexican
vacations and a tummy tuck. Look, Imnot stupid.
Ask while there is pity and you will receive, I al-
ways thought.
Once home, I had to lie low. About to fall sleep, I
asked my son to grab a bag of frozen peas to re-
place the ice pack that had melted. Almost coma-
tose, I reachedfor the packandslidit under myarm
pit before I slid into sleep.
I was awakened several hours later by the stench
of bad meat. He had given me a bag filled with
frozen chicken gizzards instead of peas. (Yes, a
good Polish wife uses gizzards in her soup. Dont
judge me!) My poor booby was drenched in chick-
en innards and I was drenched in fury. Thankfully, I
fell into a dreamless, albeit stinky, abyss for the
next day and a half.
It was a solid week before I started feeling more
like myself. Whatever the hell that means. It was
still a bit difficult to raise my arm, but it is a bril-
liant ploy to have children hoist the laundry basket

Breast case scenario
Even when she makes us cry, Maria Heck finds a
way to make us laugh, too. Thats why Dispatch
readers so look forward to her column which ap-
pears in this space every other week.

Breast Center as I was shouting

tuck. Look, Im not stupid. Ask

Pumpkins are a healthy food, that is the real McCoy, not the marsh-
mallow! Theyare richinalpha andbeta carotene whichare protective
phytochemicals found naturally in some foods.
Phytochemicals, otherwise known as plant chemicals, are not
essential for life like vitamins and minerals. It is thought, however,
that they do promote health and reduce the risk of some cancers.
Fruits, vegetables, soy products, teas, herbs, nuts and seeds all con-
tain one or more phytochemicals.
How does one begin to cook a pumpkin? First, select a heavy un-
blemished cooking pumpkin (like a sugar pumpkin) that
is free of cracks and soft spots and has a deep orange color. Some-
times calledbakingor pie pumpkins. Store ina cool dryplace. Whole
unblemished pumpkin can be stored for 3-6 months at 45-50 F.
To cut open, place on a newspaper and insert tip of chefs knife.
Scoop out strings and seeds with a spoon and discard. Pumpkins can
be baked at 350 F for 30 minutes1hour or microwave on high for 15
minutes. They can also be peeled, diced, and boiled. Check for done-
ness by inserting a fork to measure tenderness. The seeds can also be
enjoyed by rinsing and then laying out flat on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle
with favorite herb. Bake just until light browned at 400 degrees.
Use the cooked pumpkin as a puree, or serve as the base of a savory
soup or in a sweet pie. Other Uses for the flesh can be in a casserole or
stew and serve in the shell. Mash with brown sugar or maple syrup
and a pat of butter. Or skip the fresh vegetable and use canned pump-
kin instead for everything from soup to muffins and bread.
Here are some ideas to incorporate more pumpkin into your week-
ly meal planning.
Pumpkin Bundt Cake
1 applesauce, spice, or carrot cake mix
4 eggs or 8 egg whites
15 oz canned pumpkin
1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray Bundt pan with nonfat spray. Com-
bine cake mix, eggs and pumpkin; mix at lowspeed until moistened,
thenat mediumspeedfor 2minutes. Addremainingeggs, water. Beat
again for 3 minutes. Bake 45 to 55 minutes.
Cool for 10 minutes then invert on dish. Dust with powder sugar
before serving. Add a dollop of nonfat whipped topping!
Or try this Spread on Whole grain bagels
Pumpkin Spread
1 cup yogurt cheese
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
3 Tbsp confectioners sugar
11/2 Tbsp orange juice concentrate
Mix ingredients, chill several hours. Serve as dip with vegetables,

Question
In 1971, what law
changed something
we did on the fourth
Monday in the month
of October, but only
for five years?
1961 50 Years Ago
Navy Ensign Aldo J. Casseri, of
Wyoming, participated in the Naval
exercise Operation Sea Shell aboard the
USS Bennington in October of 1961. An
anti-submarine warfare support aircraft
carrier, the Bennington suffered two
major accidents, a boiler room explosion
in April of 1953 and a terrible hydraulic
catapult explosion and fire on May 26,
1954. The latter cost the lives of 103
men. Forty-eight years earlier the USS
Bennington Naval Gun Boat experi-
enced a boiler explosion on the morning
of July 21, 1905 taking the lives of 65
men.
The women of Pittston were ready for
a fight. They had collectively planned to
attend a school board meeting to com-
plain that the childrens rest rooms need-
ed doors on the closets. However, only
a few women showed up. One woman
stated, Forty women were supposed
come but were stopped. Somebody
talked to them. The Sunday Dispatch
asked the question, Who would have
the unmitigated gall to make a police
state out of little Pittston?
Sixteen Pittston area students were set
to graduate from Wilkes-Barre Business
College: Elizabeth Morgan, Geraldine
Callaio, Patricia Cicacci, Cecelia Rus-
so, Carmella Puma, Molly Brannon,
Dorothy Sherwood, Kathleen Connell,
Ruth Kaslavage, Rita Fliss, Mary
Grobinski, Carol Schoner, Robert
Cebula, Louis Volpetti, Patricia Spatz
and Elaine Tirpak.
The Pittston office of the Family Ser-
vice Association increased its office
hours due to a heavy volume of requests
for assistance. Among the services of-
fered in 1961 were marriage counseling,
elderly assistance, help for single moth-
ers and a homemaker service that tem-
porarily kept families together while
mothers were unable to care for their
homes and families. According to the
Family Service Association of Wyoming
Valley website, the Charity Society
Organization was founded in 1895. It
changed its name to the current one in
1941, and in 1961, the Pittston office
opened. Read the complete history of
this fine organization at http://
www.fsawv.org/about.php
1971 40 Years Ago
The West Pittston Cemetery needed
some sprucing up so Wyoming Area
Key Club members Jackie Hoover,
Lefty Lefchak, Len Far Catch Tar-
rito, Dave Nerozzi, Louis Palmeri,
Willis Fence Hapeman, Harry
Schmaltz, Gerard Newman, Gerry
Kashuda, Paul Pugliese, Joe Janko-
viak, and Sam Maira volunteered their
time, took brush in hand and painted the
cemetery fence.
In 1953, John Moss of Duryea had a
dream to start a neighborhood play-
ground that would keep children safe
while having fun. In 1971, John was
presented with a gold wristwatch from
the Duryea Healey Memorial Play-
ground Association, as a tribute to his
vision. John attributed the success of the
project to fellow charter members Nellie
Dempski, Joseph Gross, Frank Peck
Pesotine, Senator Pat Toole, Frank
Galonis, Bill Medico and Ettore Agoli-
no.
Duryea was thought to be a mail carri-
ers nightmare. Not only does the bor-
ough have two Main streets, two Church
streets and two Grove streets, but in
1971, Coxton residents had their mail
changed to a Duryea address, while the
Junction section had theirs listed under
Pittston, and the fifth ward had an Avo-
ca mailing address.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, What do you recall
about old-fashioned Halloween fun?
John Blandina of West Pittston an-
swered, Tipping over outhouses, people
expected it, and would have been dis-
appointed if we didnt.
Angelo Montante, Pittston, added,
We always went trick or treating and
most of the times it was tricking.
Ralph Klein of Pittston remembered,
There was always a big parade, we
would go to a party and bob for apples.
Top ten songs of 1971:
1. Superstar, Carpenters
2. Maggie May, Rod Stewart
3. Sweet City Woman, Stampeders
4. Ive Found Someone of My Own,
Free Movement
5. If You Really Love Me, Stevie
Wonder
6. Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, Cher
7. Yo Yo, Osmonds
8. Do You Know What I Mean, Lee
Michaels
9. The Night They Drove Ol Dixie
Down, Joan Baez
10. Aint No Sunshine, Bill Withers.
Mo-Ritz Lounge on Main Street in
Duryea was the site of the installation
dinner of the Auxiliary of American
Legion Post 585. The new officers of
the auxiliary were Victoria Graboski,
president; Anna Saneski, first vice
president; Edna Butrymowicz, second
vice president; Stella Piorkowski, sec-
retary; Sophie Davis, treasurer; Car-
melita Sokolowski, chaplain and Mary
Edwards, historian.
1981 30 Years Ago
Minors Lounge and Restaurant in
Pittston held the first Pool Partners
Championship with first place trophies
going to Michael Kizis and Pat Tracy
and second place to Al Kashinsky and
Jim Homschek. Many young men par-
ticipated in the tournament and were
impressed by the demonstration con-
ducted by pool champion Leo Galli. A
tournament for girls was to be held in
the following week. Does anyone know
who won the girls tournament? Call me
at 602-0168.
Pool rooms were originally betting
parlors for horseracing. Patrons passed
the time between races by playing bil-
liards. Over time, the game became
synonymous with the term pool room.
Shooting a 73, Sandy LaFoca won
the 1981 Wyoming Valley All Star Golf
match held at the Wilkes-Barre Munici-
pal Golf Course. While attending Pitt-
ston Area High School, LaFoca finished
his season with a 9-3 record.
Wyoming Area graduate Cathy Price
of Exeter, and Pittston Area graduate
Robin Marino-Purves both were seeing
success as members of the Wilkes Col-
lege tennis team. Price took MVP hon-
ors as freshmen.
1991 20 Years Ago
Seton Catholic senior Sheileen
OMalley had an opportunity to view
the political process up close. She was
selected to attend the National Young
Leaders Conference in Washington D.C.
Sheileen was scheduled along with 349
other students from across the country
to meet with politicians and journalists
and participate in discussions and re-
enactments. Sheileen was selected to
attend after demonstrating academic
excellence and leadership skills.
Opened in 1949, The Pittston Library
had gone through a series of difficulties
during its first 21 years. In 1970, new
life was breathed into the effort by origi-
nal board members Maria Capolarella,
Joe Luke, Jean Linskey, Bob Linskey,
Jean Campbell and new board mem-
bers Clair Clapps, Annarose McNulty
and Linda Scaz. From sponsoring small
sparsely attended fundraisers the group
began to gain notice of politicians and
local residents which led to more well
attended events generating much needed
funding for the library. In 1991, the li-
brary celebrated the 20th anniversary of
its rebirth.
2001 10 Years Ago
In 1927, the Wyoming Free Library
was born through the efforts of the
Wyoming Womens Club. Kate Pette-
bone Dickson donated a century-old
home on Wyoming Avenue to the cause
and by the end of the first year the li-
brary had over 1600 books on display.
Board and staff members Marcella
Scott, Sandra Tou, Jack Mills, Peter
Podwika, Ellen Davenport, Jonah
Aben, Betty Miller, James and Susan
Shoemaker, Lisa Barrett, Joseph Ole-
sky, Carol Shemo, and Joan Perconte
celebrated the librarys 74th year.
Built in 1847, the Exeter borough
building was slated for demolition in
2001, wiping out 107 years of Exeter
history. As the wrecking ball made short
work of the historical building, Mayor
Joe Coyne and councilman Joe Esposi-
to retrieved bricks from the rubble to
distribute to residents. A replica of the
original bell tower was incorporated into
the design of the new borough building
and the old flagpole would see new life
at the planned veterans memorial.
Answer
In 1968, Congress passed the Monday
Holiday Law establishing the fourth
Monday in October as the date for the
observance of Veterans Day to become
effective in 1971. Initially all states fol-
lowed suit except Mississippi and South
Dakota. Other states opted to change
their observances back to November 11.
In 1975, based on popular support, legis-
lation passed to return the Federal ob-
servance of Veterans Day to November
11.

he flood left some 800
homes in West Pittston
without living room fur-
niture and that created an oppor-
tunity for an entrepreneur from
North Carolina as well as for fur-
niture buyers.
Preston Rich hauled a tractor
trailer load of living room sets
from North Carolina to West
Pittston and prominently dis-
played them leaned against each
other like A frames at the in-
tersection of Fourth Street and
Wyoming and Baltimore ave-
nues.
Were here to give the folks
who were flooded a good deal on
furniture, Rich said.
He had two-piece sets with
couch and love seat and nine pil-
lows for $589 and three-piece
leather sets with couch, love seat
and chair for $649 with free de-
livery.
He set up Thursday morning
and sold three sets within a few
hours.
Rich said he offered a low
price because he eliminated the
middle man. Theyre straight
from the factories in North Car-
olina. Made in America. No
doubt about it.
As he talked, a car pulled up
and a woman asked for prices
through the window. Sounds
good. Its for my brother. Ill let
himknow, she said as she drove
away.
Richsaidhe expects tobe back
inthe area next week, if not inthe
same spot, somewhere nearby.

and dust the ceiling fan for me.
How long can I play this out?
About as long as took my hus-
band to figure out he can indeed
play golf this month, but not wa-
ter aerobics.
PART II
Humpty Maria sat on a wall;
Humpty Maria had a great fall.
Sadly, but not entirely surpris-
ingly, the biopsy uncovered a di-
agnosis of Ductal Carcinoma. I
was about to embark on a voyage
where the main port-of-call was
an inconvenient location called
breast cancer.
When you first hear the word
cancer you think: Ohhhh-
crap.
When others hear it, you get a
mixed response. I discovered
that those of a certain generation
tend to actually whisper the word
cancer the same way they
mumble other taboo topics, such
mafia, transvestite or kids-
for-cash.
I believe they think if you say
cancer out loud, you may ac-
tually catch it.
Imhere to tell you that cancer
is not contagious. Truly. But, on
the up-side, having cancer can
get you stuff and get you out of
stuff!
For instance:
Obtaining a cleaning lady. Ac-
tually, this tactic did not work for
me, but my husband did morph
into a temporary Merry Maid!
He actually stepped up to Swiff-
er and stepped down to scrub the
floors. It was amazing. Dont tell
him I said that. I dont need him
thinking I appreciate him at this
late date.
No fundraising! No volunteer-
ing! Who is going to ask a chick
with breast cancer to sell cheese-
cakes or man a coin-drop? No
one! Free pass! Just say no!
You can totally proclaim: I
have cancer and you have to do
anything I say, and get away
with it, in addition to making
pretty much any rude statement;
i.e.: I have cancer, so you
should pay for my lunch.
Or, My cancer prevents me
from buying you a Christmas
present this year. You under-
stand.
Or, I have cancer and you
suck and your haircut makes you
look fat.
Anything goes!
When people offered: If you
need anything, just callI real-
ly did! Thats what they get for
being so crazy- generous!
I made calls to have my car
washed, my Christmas lights
strung and my dogs anal glands
cleaned. Ps: When you say: If
you need anything perhaps
followwith the words except
anything having to do with an
animals orifice.
And, alas, no takers for my re-
quest of a mustache wax.
Now this is dicey: hand-
icapped parking.
Look, I was
technically hand-
icapped before
this all started be-
cause Im freak-
ishly short, and
my friend, De-
nise, insists that
by government
standards, Im
considered a
dwarf and may
qualify for gov-
ernment benefits.
Who knew? But,
that aside, I say,
with no boobies where there
once was a pair, most women
may consider that somewhat of a
pseudo-handicap! Yet, I could
not bring myself to park in that
blue space, with that strange,
blue stick-man glaring up at me
from his blacktop-flanked
wheelchair, primarily because
my legs were actually still func-
tional. I do have some standards,
you know.
After losing Thing One and
Thing Two it was amazing how
every inanimate object resem-
bles ta-tas once they become a
distant memory; for instance:
A doorknob
Asalt shaker (and possibly the
pepper mill in a certain light)
A truffle
Kiwi, of course, and even
more so, an avocado.
Actually, all fruit, except a ba-
nana. That resembles something
else entirely.
A water bottle
A jelly fish
Naturally, a baggie full of any-
thingbut especially Jell-O
An egg. Extra bonus points if
its sunny side up
Wellyes, it took some get-
ting used to, this loss of my milk
cartons, but if its between look-
ing like the Pillsbury Dough Boy
and having cancer, Dough Boy it
is. Its a very small price to pay
for being cancer free.
Having a radical mastectomy
is no walk in the park but it is a
gift when youre presented with
a future without breast cancer.
Happily, the day has come that
I can now say; I HAD cancer,
and you have to do anything I
say. True, it doesnt have the
same spark of urgency or pity-
but lets just hope it never
does.
All the kings horses and all
the kings men worked really
hard to put Maria back together
again.
PART III
Happily, my breast cancer was
extinguished so early that I did
not need any chemotherapy or
radiation. This was a cup half-
full situation. I think I was
dreading the treatment even
more than the surgery.
Time marched slowly on and I
shuffled frommastectomy to ex-
panders to a little thing I like to
call Rack Reconstruction.
So, I amthrilled to report that I
recently completed all parts of
the puzzle that was breast cancer.
I am now a new and improved
version of my old self. Well, one
puzzle piece is, anyway. And I
must say, while everyone was
reverent, sympathetic and re-
spectful when speaking about
my breast cancer, they were, at
turns, outspoken, opinionated
and forthright about the size of
my future, cancer-free spare
parts.
I am, by all means, extremely
open about my entire life, and
breast cancer was not an excep-
tion. I know that some people
may decide against sharing their
storywiththe general population
of your city limits, but for me,
talking about it at every opportu-
nity is the way I roll.
And, to the woman in front of
me at the grocery store sorry
that I gave you a blow-by-blow
description of my mastectomy,
when all you asked was if the
cantaloupe was ripe. To know
me is tochoose another check-
out line, I guess.
Regarding Rack Reconstruct-
ion, I have to say, everyone from
my father to the gas station at-
tendant had an opinion about the
size of my future cupage. Its
amazing how forthcoming ev-
eryone is with ad-
vice about my body
parts!
But, I made it ve-
ry clear to everyone
that my new addi-
tions would be
more the size of
tangerines than say,
grapefruits. If this
was my one chance
to have something
appear young, per-
ky and untouched
by childbirth, then,
by God, smaller
fruit was the way to go.
My father was so disappointed
in me. I dont get it, he would
say, head shaking slowly from
side to side. Dont you want
something a little more substan-
tial? I mean, this is your chance
to show-off a good pair of aces!
Dad! I screeched. Yuck!
Stop talking to me about this! I
toldyousmall andperky. Small
and perky, dammit!
No one really understood my
preference, but that didnt stop
randomacquaintances fromges-
turing and declaring their hy-
pothesis on the situation. Or, I
imagined everyone did, anyway.
The poor man at the corn-on-
the-cob stand, for example. He
was merely putting produce in a
bag for me, yet I imagined he
was weighing-in on my per-
ceivedsize! And, I yelledat a Lit-
tle League coach as he was ex-
amining errant baseballs: Hey!
Thats too big! Too big for me!
My brother, sisters, cousins,
hairdresser and the lady at the
dry cleaner all offered their un-
solicited measurement advice;
some creepy some helpful.
Even my surgeon was skeptical
about mydecision. I doubt that in
his entire career he has never had
a woman walk into his office and
ask to go smaller. It was a nov-
elty.
I was concerned that implants
dont even come in the size I en-
visioned: XX small. They may
have had to special order them
from the Land of Oz, but thank-
fully, that is what arrived on Im-
plant Day: the perfect tangerines.
The implant surgery went
swimmingly. Except for one
small detail. Due to the damage
to my underlying tissue, the sur-
geon had to utilize a little some-
thing they call donor tissue,
which fills the space left vacant
by my old package.
I didnt want to know from
where this donor tissue origi-
nates. Is it animal? Mineral?
Vegetable? Can I wear it in my
hair? Do I dare?
Does it come from a face? Or
outer space?
Was it last attached to a dog? A
cat? A frog? A pollywog?
Can you buy it at a store? The
shore? Will it make me snore? I
know it made me sore.
(Perhaps this tissues donor
was a direct descendant of Dr.
Seuss.)
At any rate, it may very well be
tissue from a swine. So, if you
see me at Sonic sporting a snout,
a curly tail and bleating just ig-
nore me and hide your bacon. It
may hurt my feelings.
Lastly, Id like to plead to all of
my female readers: please,
please high-tail it to your yearly
mammograms. Ladies, we do
not want to mess around with the
prospect of hosting a breast can-
cer free-for-all upon our bodies.
Introduce your girls to a mam-
mogram every single year. Re-
member, we can either be proac-
tive andsave our life, or be lacka-
daisical and risk our life. Early
detection saved my particular
life.
Andby the waymy new
girlfriends have names.
I toyed with a few ideas: Lucy
and Ethel, Veronica and Betty,
Ginger and Mary Ann, Cagney
and Lacey, Thelma and Louise.
Trust me; its much easier to get
througha mini healthcrisis when
you attach names to your body
parts. Dont ask me why, or I
would have to make-up an expla-
nation.
So, finally, I am doing alright.
The girls are all alright.
Laverne. Shirley. And me.

rea historical societies
and friends of the late
Pittston railroad and
streetcar photographer Edward
S. Miller gatheredOct. 15toded-
icate a piece of railroadhistoryin
his honor.
The former Lackawanna &
Wyoming Valley railroads (Lau-
rel Line) Crown Avenue tunnel
in Scranton was dedicated as the
Edward S. Miller Memorial
Tunnel.
Miller, who died April 23,
2010, was the unofficial histori-
an of the former third-rail elec-
trified line. He began photo-
graphing the Laurel Line and re-
gional steam and electric rail-
roads in 1938 and continued his
passion until shortly before his
death.
The event, held at the south
portal of the tunnel, was spon-
sored by the Lackawanna &
Wyoming Valley chapter of the
National Railroad Historical So-
ciety, Lackawanna County His-
torical Society and the Electric
City Trolley museum. Miller
was active inall three of the orga-
nizations for many years. He was
also active in trolley and railroad
preservation circles and the An-
thracite Museum at McDade
Park.
The signage was coordinated
by the L&WVNRHS, of which
Miller was a founding member.
The colors: red, blue and gold,
were chosen because they repre-
sent the railroads final color
scheme on its passenger cars,
said longtime friend and event
organizer Norm Barrett.
Speakers including David
Biles, curator of the trolley mu-
seum; and LWV chapter Presi-
dent Vee Pauli. Lackawanna

County Historical Society trust-
ee Joseph Cimini offered re-
marks onMillers remarkable ca-
reer.
Longtime friend and trolley
buff The Rev. James Wert also
spoke about Millers work and
generosity to share his photos
and collections with historians
and authors.
Following the marker dedica-
tion a light lunch and social hour
was sponsored at the Lackawan-
na Historical Societys nearby
Catlin House.
The tunnel, opened by the rail-
road in 1908, was a favorite spot
of Millers on the Laurel Line.
Passenger service ended on the
line in1952 and it fell into disuse
in the 1970s. Miller exposed
many images of freight and pas-
senger trains in the tunnel area
until service ended.
When the Lackawanna Coun-
ty Rail Authority and Electric
City Trolley museum began to
restore the line several years ago,
Miller was trackside almost dai-
ly. He watched the construction
work and offered important in-
formation about the tunnels
construction, including informa-
tion from the Laurel Lines files
which he saved. Always a histo-
rian, Miller brought his camera
along and carefully recorded the
work.
Starting with a photo in 1938
at the old Westmoor car barns of
Wilkes-Barre Traction, Miller
exposed more than12,000 imag-
es of area railroads and rail
events. Most of his work was
based in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania. But the Laurel Line re-
mained his favorite railroad. But
wherever Miller traveled with
his camera he created lasting im-
ages of the rail lines in those ar-
eas.
Miller was born in Milton in
1920 and moved to Pittston as a
youth. Following graduation
from Pittston High School he
worked as a draftsman for a
number of companies including
Foster Wheeler, Long Island
Lighting, Pope &Talbott and re-
tired from the former Owens-Il-
linois-Techneglas.
He servedduringWorldWar II
in the US Army Transportation
Corps in France and Belgium
and was in the first group of
recruits to leave Pittston in Janu-
ary, 1942. He fulfilled a life-long
dream and worked as a motor-
man for Capital Transit streetcar
company in Washington D.C. in
the early 1950s.
Miller was also active in the
former Magee Transportation
museum in Bloomsburg, which
was destroyed by the Agnes
Flood in 1972. He will be re-
membered by his friends as a
kind hearted, generous person
with a contagious sense of hu-
mor and an encyclopedic memo-
ry of railroad and local history.

California Muay Thai Instruc-
tor Cory Villano is coming home
to give the Greater Pittston YM-
CA a lesson in self defense.
Villano, a West Pittston native,
will give a two-day Muay Thai
seminar at the Greater Pittston
YMCA on Tuesday, October 25,
and Thursday, October 27, from
7 to 8:30 p.m. Cost of the semi-
nar is $10.
Muay Thai is similar to box-
ing, but you perform a series of
kicks. It is a great formof self de-
fense, saidFitness Director Kel-
ly McCabe. I recommend this
class for men and women of all
ages and abilities. It is a great
new twist on fitness.
Villano was born and raised in
West Pittston and attended
Wyoming Area. Today he lives
in San Francisco where he has
trained and competed in Muay
Thai for nine years. Villanos last
ventured paired himwith former
trainers and world title holders
Edge Brown and Bebe Etzler.
The trio opened Gym 445.
Villano trains pro fighters and
casual athletes. The seminar will
give participants a complete
overview of the sport.
This is more than self de-
fense; it is an art, said McCabe.
It is also a great workout.
For more information or to
register seminar call the YMCA
at 570-655-2255 ext. 107.

cores airing Thursday, Nov. 22 at
8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 26 at 9
p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 27 at 1

Paesani: The Story of Italian
Culture in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania chronicles the massive
immigration of more than 4 mil-
lion Italians to the United States
between 1890 and 1930, and the
enduring culture these people
imbued into northeastern Penn-
sylvania society.
Older generations have always
passed down values, beliefs and
traditions to help younger gener-
ations identify with their name
and heritage.
Yet, many people still dont
know who they are. Paesani:
The Story of Italian Culture in
Northeastern Pennsylvania cel-
ebrates and preserves Italian her-
itage through a poignant blend of
first-person storytelling, never-
before-seen images and insight-
ful humanist commentary.
Major funding for Paesani:
The Story of Italian Culture in
Northeastern Pennsylvania was
provided by UNICO National
and Lackawanna Heritage Val-
ley.

YO U R O P I N I O N
rigged.
The Transition Committee has
already advertised for the Coun-
ty Manager position, and re-
ceived dozens of applications,
not yet reviewed. This position
announcement and advertise-
ment did not mention whether
applications would be treated
confidentially or not.
Idlike topropose a process for
hiring the new County Manager
that I believe would be fair to all
parties. It begins when 11 new
Council members meet with the
existing Transition Committee
to prepare for the start of the new
form of county government.
For a brief period, perhaps 2 to
4 weeks, the application process
would be re-opened by issuing a
new job announcement and ad-
vertisement. The re-opened an-
nouncement will promise confi-
dentiality to all applicants until
the stage of selecting finalists is
reached. Candidates for the posi-
tion who have already submitted
applications would be permitted
to amend or withdraw their ap-
plication. Until finalists are se-
lected, any applicant may with-
drawhis or her application. Once
the Council has selected final-
ists, their names will be released
to the public.
I believe this process guaran-
tees fairness to prospective ap-
plicants and to Luzerne County
citizens. I encourage other can-
didates and citizens to offer their
thoughts on this important mat-
ter.
We can change the way we
govern ourselves. Vote on No-
vember 8as if our future depends
on it, for in fact it does.
Rick Williams
Independent Candidate
Luzerne County Council
Plan
Continued fromPage 14
We, as candidates for Wyom-
ing Area School Board, are sen-
sitive to the economic recession
we are in. We are all experienc-
ing higher grocery bills, in-
creased home heating costs, es-
calating gas prices, along with
the pain, suffering and devasta-
tion that the recent flooding has
caused. We are aware that these
challenging times have put an
extra strain on family budgets
and have created a financial bur-
den for everyone.
Unfortunately, this situation is
compounded by the recent mail-
ings of school taxes, which are
due at the end of the year. We
know of the challenges you face
during these difficult times and,
as your elected officials, we too
are faced with the daunting chal-
lenge of balancing the District
budget while being fair to you,
the taxpayers.
We see the major issue facing
the Distract as surging health
care costs. Family coverage for a
district employee, husband, wife
and child costs the district over
$21,000 per year. The Districts
yearly cost for employee health
care is $2.8 million, with zero
contributions from union-repre-
sented employees.
In addition, state reimburse-
ment under the Corbett adminis-
tration has declined over $1 mil-
lion for the fiscal year 2011-
2012. We propose tocut expendi-
tures by asking that teachers take
part in contributing to their own
health care as we do, and as all
other professionals and mem-
bers of the private sector do. We
think thats fair!
Thats why we both voted NO
to increased taxes at the June
2011budget meeting. We believe
the answer in these challenging
times for our school district is in
cutting expenditures, not in-
creasing your taxes. We recog-
nize that the greatest source of
our success as a District lies in its
people, our outstanding teachers
and dedicated employees of the
District. Our pledge toyouis that
during these difficult economic
times all of our decisions will be
made in the best interest of stu-
dents, always keeping in mind
our already overburdened tax-
payer, without compromising
the quality education that
Wyoming Area students and our
community expect.

WA candidates say health
care costs the problem
The devastation left behind by
Tropical StormLee has left West
PittstonBoroughina state of dis-
repair never before seen and has
once again saddled our beloved
residents with financial and
emotional burdens though to be
a distant memory of Hurricane
Agnes. The West Pittston Bor-
ough officials had been active
participants in this effort. Mayor
Tony Denisco and Councilman
Brian Thornton had spent count-
less hours personally tending to
the needs of their neighbors and
constituents.
Despite the overwhelmingly
positive and devoted efforts of
these public servants, there are a
select few including State Rep.
Phyllis Mundy who have tried to
take political and personal ad-
vantage of the vulnerability and
fear of this community.
Under Section 501 of the
Pennsylvania Construction
Code Act, municipalities are re-
quired to adopt the Uniform
Construction Code as their mu-
nicipal building code. In accord-
ance with Section 7210.501(b)
(2) of the PA. UniformConstruc-
tion Code, West Pittston Bor-
ough, as most other municipal-
ities, elected the state authorized
option to administer and enforce
the Code by the retention of a
third party agency to act on be-
half of the municipality for ad-
ministration and enforcement of
the PCCA. The Code also allows
for municipalities to enforce
their own ordinances which pre-
dates the State Acts.
It has been erroneously sug-
gested by those who should
know better, especially a law-
maker like Phyllis Mundy who
voted for this legislation, that
West Pittston Borough has inap-
propriately conferred a monopo-
ly upon Advanced Code Group
by allowing that company to per-
form all inspections in the bor-
ough. First, other certified and
qualified inspectors are not pre-
cluded from providing their ex-
pert services to the residents of
West Pittston Borough. Howev-
er, the performance of building
code compliance inspections is
by law, the exclusive authority of
the third-party agency.
It has also been mistakenly ru-
mored that West Pittston Bor-
ough has charged inappropriate
and unlawful fees for building
code inspections. Wrong again!
Shortly after the flood, West Pitt-
stonBoroughhadwaivedits por-
tion of any building permit and
inspection fees.
Furthermore, the Code does
not establish fees for permit ap-
plications and inspections. All
fees regarding building permits
and inspections are set by the
third-party agency in each mu-
nicipality and are made publicly
available. It is difficult to take
Mundy seriously when she sug-
gests that no permit costs or fees
should be charged by contractors
and inspectors. Does she really
expect these people to work for
free? Third-party agency con-
tracts and fee schedules obtained
from other municipalities, in-
cluding Ms. Mundys place of
residence, Kingston Borough,
reveal a common industry prac-
tice of charging a percentage of
construction costs.
Additionally, our residents
need to know that had Mundy
been successful in stopping per-
mits and inspections in our town,
FEMAwas preparedtopull back
all flood-related financial relief
and flood plain protection.
Finally, Id like to thank Con-
gressman Barletta, Senator Yud-
ichak and Senator Casey who
showed that they could roll up
their sleeves and go to work for
the people of West Pittston.

along with most other buildings
and homes in low-lying parts of
the borough when the Susque-
hanna River crested at a record
42.66 feet on Sept. 9. About
15,000 books and all furnishings
were destroyed.
The flood insurance wont
cover our losses. Well have
enough to get the building back
in shape, but in terms of furnish-
ing it, theres no money for that.
So thats why weve been asking
people for used furniture in the
meantime, said library director
Anne Bramblett Barr.
The library received that and
much more.
During the two and a half
weeks staff and volunteers spent
cleaning out the damaged build-
ing and moving about 11,500
books that were saved to dry
storage space donated by Cliff
and Ruth Melberger, Barr no-
ticed the vacant video store and
showed it to library board presi-
dent John Panzitta, who agreed it
was perfect.
Its really designed exactly
how a library should be, with an
outdoor slot for returns, a big,
beautiful circulation desk. You
couldnt ask for a better location.
We called Sandy Insalaco Sr. and
he said, Anything for the li-
brary. Were getting this rent-
free, all the utilities are covered.
Its just a perfect opportunity to
get us back on our feet, Barr
said.
Barr thought the hard part
would be furnishing the space.
Not so much. Allied Services
provided 20 computers, a printer
and a technician to install it all.
After staff sent emails to all
Pennsylvania libraries asking for
furniture, the library got invita-
tions to send a moving van to
Millersville University and
Bucks County Public Library for
bookshelves and computer ta-
bles. We just sent out a request
... and we were overwhelmed
withthe response. We hadtoturn
people away. We couldnt possi-
bly use another table, rocker or
anything else. Local businesses,
East Mountain Inn, Boscovs,
Genettis, Wyoming Valley West
School District they all gave us
things. Its been wonderful,
Barr said.
Barr expects renovations at the
old library to be complete by the
end of the year and to open
sometime in January. Monetary
donations can be made to the
West Pittston Library Recovery
Fund of the Luzerne Foundation,
140 Main St., Luzerne, PA
18709.
The temporary library in Insa-
lacos Shopping Center is open
noon to 8 p.m. Monday through
Thursday; noon to 6 p.m. Fri-
days; and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sat-

TraditionallyBerwicks Crispin
Fieldis atoughplacetoplay. Most
high school football teams are
happytoescapewitharespectable
loss. Not Pittston Area.
The Patriots had a chance to
turn a cheek to tradition, and held
a lead midway through the fourth
quarter on Friday night. But the
peskyBulldogsrefusedtogoaway
as they persevered for a 42-31vic-
tory sending the Patriots packing
to its sixth straight loss of the sea-
son.
The game was an emotional
roller coaster for the Patriots right
from the coin toss. The Bulldogs
scored a touchdown on their first
drive. However, the 7-play, 68-
yarddrivewhicheventuallyended
in a five yard touchdown for Ber-
wick star running back Jeremy
Freeman did not dampen the spir-
its of the Patriots.
Instead, PittstonAreadidsome-
thing about it and they did so in a
big way.
Quarterback Anthony Schwab
may not be known as a threat to
throwthe deep ball, but he proved
his critics wrong when he found
star wideout Jordan Houseman
for a 71-yard touchdown on the
Patriotsveryfirst playfromscrim-
mage. Houseman caught the ball
around the Berwick 35-yard line
andtookit the house fromthere. It
was far from an easy touchdown,
as Houseman needed a brilliant
stutter step to evade the final Ber-
wick defender. Chris Musto
drilled the PAT and the score was
knotted at 7-7 at the 8:57 mark of
the first quarter.
Neither teamstruckagaininthe
first quarter, but the offenses heat-
ed up in the second.
It was the Patriots who struck
first in the second quarter as a 21-
yard jaunt by junior halfback Jus-
tin Wilk, set up first-and-goal.
Schwab capped off the drive by
lowering his head and driving
across the plane for the 1-yard
score. Musto added the PAT and
the Patriots were ahead 14-7 with
11:14 remaining in the opening
half.
Berwickcame right backwitha
1-yard quarterback keeper of their
own. Jared Pierce found the end
zone with 7:24 remaining in the
half. The touchdown would not
have been possible if the Dawgs
had not converted on fourth-and-
inches from the Patriots 14-yard
line. Pierce faked the handoff to
the fullback and took off to his
right, before being brought down
inside the 1. Berwick again added
the PAT and the game was tied at
14-14.
The Patriots offense wasnt
done in the first half.
Houseman set up the Patriots
with first-and-10 from their own
42-yard line after a 32-yard kick
return. With their backs against
the wall on third-and-12 from the
40, Schwab hit Houseman down
the field for a 30-yard gain. They
continued to go to the air as
Schwab found Evan Hahn on a
crossingroute for18yards putting
the Patriots in the red zone.
The air attack was working and
theydidnt stopit inthefirst half as
the drive was capped by a13-yard
touchdown connection between
Schwab and Houseman. Schwab
threw it up and Houseman went
and got it in the back corner of the
end zone on the fade route. Musto
split theuprights withthePATand
the Patriots held a 21-14 lead with
4:36 remaining in the first half.
Late in the first half Schwab
tried to go down the middle for a
big gain, but was picked and the
Dawgs took over first-and-10
from the Patriot 13. The pick
proved to be costly as Pierce went
in for a 5-yard touchdown just be-
fore halftime to send the teams to
thelocker roomall squareat 21-21.
The Bulldogs recaptured the
lead in the third quarter when
Freeman scored on a two-yard
rush. They added the PATand the

Last season, Pittston Area de-
feated Elk Lake 3-0 in the last
game of the season to jump into
the final playoff spot by clinch-
ing the third-seed in Wyoming
Valley Conference Division 3.
This season, the Lady Patriots
faced off against Elk Lake again
but this time they were already
sitting in the No. 3 spot in WVC
Division 3 trailing the Warriors
by11/2 games for the second po-
sition.
The two teams took the field
for a doubleheader on Pittston
Areas Senior Day on Tuesday at
the Bucky Harris Sports Com-
plex in Hughestown.
Elk Lake, which touted seven
boys intheir startingline-up, was
able to come away with two
hard-fought victories, 4-2 and
2-1, to sure up the No. 2 spot in
WVC Division 3, and set Pitt-
ston Area up to be the third-seed
out of WVC-3.
"Not much (of a disadvantage)
really," said PA Head Coach
Caitlin Hadzimichalis about the
playing against boys. "Yes, some
of their hits are a little hard and
theymight be able tosprint faster
genetically, but I dont think it
was that much of a disadvantage,
we had our own mistakes that
compounded it."
In game one, Elk Lake got on
the board first at the 23:47 mark
but the Lady Patriots answered
with one of their own two min-
utes later, when Emily Herron
put the ball into the back of the
cage off a Liz Mikitish assist.
The rest of the first half went
back-and-forth as it ended tied at
1-1.
The second half started just
how the first ended a lot of op-
portunities for the offense but
solid defensive plays won out.
That was the case until Elk
Lake broke the tie again with a
goal at the16:23 mark. However,
true to normal Lady Patriot fash-
ion, they fought back, tying the
game at twos when Mikitish
threw a hard long pass into a
scrum in front of the cage. The
ball found its way to the stick of
Becca Weinstock who knocked
inwithjust over11minutes left in
the game.
The two teams fought for the
next nine minutes before Elk
Lake knocked the ball into the
cage after PAcouldnt clear it out
of the circle, breaking the tie and
giving Elk Lake a 3-2 lead with
2:01 left in the game.
The Warriors iced the first
game when they scored again
with eight seconds left clinching
a 4-2 victory and pushing their
lead over Pittston Area to two
games.
Elk Lake outshot the Lady Pa-
triots 10-6 but they came up even
in corners with nine each.
Ariel Ardo recorded seven
saves in the cage for the Lady Pa-
triots.
In the second game, Elk Lake
got off to a quick start, again get-
ting on the board first when they
found the back of the net at the
27:22 mark.
PA seemed out-matched by
the size and speed of the Elk
Lake team as they struggled to
maintain any sort of substantial
attack, forcing their defense and
goalie to come up with big de-
fensive plays to keep them in the
game.
Elk Lake had an opportunity
to take a 2-0 lead when they were
awarded a penalty stroke, but
Lea Garibaldi came upwitha big
save as she kicked the ball away
to keep the Lady Patriots within
striking distance.
PA nearly evened the match at
the 18-minute mark when the
ball squirted across the face of
the cage, but no one was on the
other end to knock it in.
Three minutes later, the Lady
Warriors nearly tied it up for the
second time when the ball was
played into the middle of the cir-
cle and then off of a PAstick past
the GK, but it rolled wide of the
cage and Elk Lake held on to
their 1-0 lead.
However, that margin didnt
stay for long as EL scored their
second goal with14:27 left in the
first pushing the lead to 2-0, a
score which held up until the end

Wednesday
District 2 Meet
at Elk Lake HS
It was the kind of dramatic finish that is expected
when Dallas Regan Rome and Holy Redeemers
Marissa Durako are racing in the same field.
The two traded the lead down the stretch before
Rome pulled away by a couple of strides at the end
of a grueling run at the Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence Coaches Meet on Tuesday at the Wyoming
County Fairgrounds.
"I knew coming in that the last race was me and
Regan," Durako said. "We were neck and neck the
whole time. I knew shed want to win just like I
would, and this one turned out the same as the last
time, with her going ahead at the end."
The pair led the pack the entire second half of the
race, topping the field by more than a minute. As
the runners came through the midway point of the
race, Rome was closely pursued by Durako, a La-
flin resident, and teammate Rachel Sowinski. Be-
hind the lead group was another cluster of Dallas
runners - Lindsey Oremus, Maggie Fannick and
Bryanna Dissinger were among the top eight.
But as the runners made their second pass
through the crowd and headed for the 2-mile mark,
Rome and Durako pulled away.
"She just had a better kick at the end," Durako
said of Rome. "The last race was more flat, and we
came in around 18:30. This time, we improved
since we had a similar finish on this course, which
was a little hilly."
Also in the lead group was Pittston Areas Cathe-

Last week Old Forge Head
Coach Mike Schuback said his
Blue Devils couldnt win without
Dave Argust. This week, Argust
backed himup.
The senior returned a punt and
an interception for touchdowns as
Old Forge rallied from a 15-point
deficit to defeat Mid Valley, 42-
26, in a key Lackawanna Football
Conference Division III battle on
Fridaynight at SpartanStadiumin
Throop.
But it wasnt just thetworeturns
that spurredthevictory. Argust al-
so thwarted another Mid Valley
drive with an INT, and caught
three passes for 70 yards. His he-
roics saved the Blue Devils from
an uninspiring first half of play.
The Spartans got off to a fast
start, scoring on their fifth play
fromscrimmage a quick screen
fromquarterbackMartinWalshto
wideout Ronny Tomasetti that the
latter turned into a 30-yard touch-
downwithjust 1:57gone fromthe
clock. The two-point pass failed
and the Spartans led, 6-0.
A quick three-and-out by the
Blue Devils gave Mid Valley
some momentum, and three plays
later, Antonio Russo sprinted 69
yards around the right side for a
touchdown. Ryan Cadwalder in-
tercepted the two-point pass for
Old Forge, but the Spartans led
12-0.
Old Forge answered with 12-
play, 61-yard drive that Colin Ca-
rey capped with a 1-yard plunge.
Carey completed four passes on
the drive for 67 yards, including
an 11-yarder to Argust on third-
and-8; a 27-yarder to Mike Vieira
on third-and-4; and a 24-yarder to
LouFebboonfourth-and-23from
the Mid Valley 29. Febbo ran in
the two-point conversion and Old
Forge was within 12-8 with 54
seconds left intheopeningperiod.
The Spartans came right back
as Walsh and Tomasetti hooked
up again for a touchdown, this
time for a 56-yard strike down the
middle of the field with just nine
seconds elapsed in the second
quarter. The two-point run failed
again and MVled, 18-8.
The Blue Devils again put to-
gether alongdrive, chewingup67
yards on 10 plays. But when Mid
Valley forced an incompletion on
thirddown, OldForgesettledfor a
25-yard field goal by Matt Man-
cuso to get within 18-11with 6:34
left in the first half.
Mid Valley again responded as
Russo zipped around his left side
and went 65 yards untouched to
the endzone on the ensuing play
from scrimmage. This time the
Spartans converted the two-point
pass as Walsh found Tomasetti in
thecorner of theendzonefor a26-
11lead with 6:16 remaining in the
second quarter.
The duoof RussoandTomaset-
ti accounted for 268 yards in of-
fense for the Spartans tothat point
in the game. But the Blue Devils
defense locked down the play-
makers fromthat point on, allow-
ing the duo to gain just 54 yards
the rest of the way.
Thefirst half weslept walked,
said co-captain Anthony Trotta.
But we were able to keep it close
enoughtogive ourselves a chance
in the second half. We played the
first half like we were playing not
to lose. We had to come out the
second half and play to win. We
were fighting on our heels but
needed to fight on our toes. We
needed to control the tempo, con-
trol the game. We know our de-
fense is key.
We gave up big plays and we
shouldnt have. They are a big-
play team and we didnt stop
them. In the second half we
swarmedthe football like we were
supposed to.
Before the Blue Devils got to
halftimetheywouldadda28-yard
field goal from Mancuso to get
within 26-14, but it didnt happen
without some excitement. Facing
a fourth-and-10 from the MV 22,
Careyhit Vieira for a 21-yardgain
to the 1 as time expired. But the
Spartans were called for pass in-
terference on the play, to give Old
Forge one untimeddownfromthe
MV11, andachancetoconvert for
three points.
I thinkall of our coaches made
the best of the 20 minute half-

fieldgoal, tighteningthe Berwick
lead to just 28-24 with 8:34 re-
maining in the game.
The Patriots needed the ball

triots first-and-10 from the Ber-
wick 36-yard line. They then got
even closer as Berwick head

of the half.
Sensing that their backs were
against the wall, the Lady Patri-
ots came out with extreme inten-
sity in the second half. They got
on the board, cutting the lead to
2-1, when Liz Mikitish fired a
shot past the GK and into the
cage 5:30 into the half.
Pittston Area controlled most
of the second half, keeping high
pressure on the Elk Lake de-
fense and forcing them to make
plays to hold onto the lead.
With 16:06 left, Becca Wein-
stock dribbled down the sideline
before badly faking out two de-
fenders with two straight cut-
backs. Then, she drove the ball
hard across the front of the cage,
but no one was able to deflect it
in.
PAkept applying pressure and
continued to keep the ball in Elk
Lakes end of the field, but they
could not find the back of the
cage and Elk Lake was able to
hold on for the 2-1 victory.
"(The seniors - Ariel Ardo,
Brittany Czerniakowski, Made-
line Dworak, Brielle Warren,
Gabby Vaxmonsky and Mallory
Yozwiak) are a great group of
kids and they are good core lead-
ership for everybody coming
up," said Hadzimichalis.
"Theyve been setting a good ex-
ample for the underclassmen of
howto act when they are seniors
and what to do when they are in
tough situations, so Im very
proud of them."
Elk Lake outshot the Lady Pa-
triots 16-12 but PA held the ad-
vantage in corners 10-3.
Garbaldi had seven saves in
the first half for the Lady Patri-
ots and Ardo had four in the sec-
ond half.
PA dropped to 7-5-1 after the
two losses but still hold on to
third place in Division 3 ahead
of GAR who is 7-6.

triots on the board in the 18th
minute with an unassisted goal
before scoring on an assist from
Rebecca Weinstock later in the
half to give the Pittston Area de-
fense margin for error.
But the defense did not need
the extra goal in holding the di-
vision-leading Rangers to just
five shots on the day.
Lea Garibaldi and Ariel Ardo
combined to stop all five shots
in net for the Lady Patriots.
PA 6, Berwick 1
Pittston Area exploded for

the first and third goals of the
half with Liz Mikitish scoring
unassisted.

Brielle Warren goal to open the

4-0. Berwick answered with its
only goal of the game, but Liz
Mikitish and Weinstock fin-

goals in the last 10 minutes of

dy Patriots on the board by find-
ing the back of the net on an as-
sist from Alexa Danko at the
7:59 mark of the first half.

her two goals around a Maurizi
goal to give PAa 4-0 lead at half-
time. Marina Barnak, Rebecca
Weinstock and Liz Mikitish as-
sisted on the three goals.
Maurizi then scored her sec-
ond goal at the 11:09 mark of the

WA 3, Seminary 4
Wyoming Area battled shot
for shot with WVC Division 1

time, said Schuback, who is now 6-0 against legendary
Mid Valley coach Frank Pazzaglia. We all talked to our
position players and the kids all got together and the coach-
es didagreat jobof that. Our seniors, I was reallyimpressed
with them. We really rely on a lot on our younger kids, but
the seniors are leadingthem. The seniors were tellingthem,
just stay focused, keep playing, were going to be OK.
We changed some things up defensively in the second
half personnel wise. (Assistant Coach) Dan (Holland)
made some switches. Younger kids like Shane (Schuback),
(Jorden) Sekol, Ryan Paulish, (Paul) Papi got us going.
The third quarter opened with the Blue Devils going
three-and-out, but Sekol steppedinfront of a Walshpass on
Mid Valleys first possession for an interception as Papi ap-
ply pressure to the Spartans quarterback. The sophomore
linebacker added nine tackles and a fumble recovery to his
INT on the night.
Jordenis doingagreat jobfor us,saidTrotta. But all of
our underclassmen are playing with so much heart right
now. I cant credit them enough. Our whole thing is team.
We dont have one mainguy. We are a teamandthat is what
we focus on.
Two plays after the interception, Argust hauled in a pass
fromCareyonthird-and-11andtookthecrossingpattern34
yards to the Spartans 5 before Carey scored on a quarter-
back draw to get Old Forge (6-2 overall, 3-0 LFC) within
26-21 with 8:40 showing on the third-quarter clock.
The key catch by Argust was a sign of things to come.
With less than four minutes remaining in the third quar-
ter, Argust took a Chris Merenich punt 58-yards to paydirt
to put the Blue Devils ahead, 28-26, after Mancusos extra-
point. On the return Argust avoided one tackler just as he
caught the punt, sprinted down the Old Forge sidelines, cut
backat the30whereit lookedas if hewouldbeknockedout
of bounds, and jaunted into the endzone for the score.
WhenI caught the ball I sawa bunchof guys comingup
the middle, said Argust of his punt return. Coach Schu-
backtoldme if we have the blockontothe right, thentake it
to the left because those guys on the block will be coming
back on that side of the field. So I went left and got crazy
blocks fromLouis (Febbo) and Mike Vieira and I just kept
going. There was a great lane.
I sawtheguyhadabadangleonmenear thesidelines so
I just cut backtothemiddleof thefieldandjust kept going.
On the ensuing Mid Valley possession, the Spartans
marched49yards tothe OldForge14on10plays toset upa
first-and-10. But Papi stopped Russo for no gain on first
down, and Mid Valley was called for an illegal chop block
on second down to push the ball back to the Old Forge 29.
On second-and-24, Martin threw for Russo along the vis-
iting sidelines, but Argust was there for the interception at
the 1 to thwart the drive.
The Blue Devils moved the ball out to their own 35 yard
line from there, but the drive stalled and Mid Valley took
over at their own 37 with 6:04 left in the game after the Old
Forge punt.
The Spartans methodicallymovedintoOldForge territo-
ry as Walsh found Tomasetti twice for 11yards, and Russo
once for 13 on a fourth-and-6 screen play. But Walsh eyed
up his top receiver one too many times, and on second-
and-7 fromthe Blue Devils eight, Argust made the play of
the game.
The 6-1, 170-pound defensive back stepped in front of
Tomasetti as theball got tothedivisions leadingpass catch-
er, wrestled the ball away fromthe Division I prospect and
sprinted 80 yards to the endzone for the score. Mancusos
point after gave Old Forge a 35-26 lead with 2:18 to play.
I saw them throw that pass a couple times to Tomasetti
and I knew Jake (Manetti) was going to be over the top on
himso I just went in to make the play. At first I felt like his
hands were on the ball, but I just ripped it out and started
moving.
In the second half we were rolling Dave and (Brian)
Bubba (Tomasetti) on Tomasetti, added Schuback. We
thought they were going to go wide side a little more than
normal, and on that play, someone yelled fromthe sideline
to take away the slant. Dave just turned a little bit and he
read the play.
I said if he makes a mistake we are upset, but he saw it
and made the play. Daves a smart kid and I have a ton of
respect for him as a player and as a person. He has a lot of
faith in his ability and in my opinion no one has more char-
acter.
Argusts defensive play was the clincher for the Blue
Devils, but theywerent finishedscoringas BrianTomaset-
tis 49-yard return of an interception set up Febbos18-yard
touchdown run with three seconds left as Old Forge was
trying to run out the clock.
Febbofinishedthe night with72yards rushingon19car-
ries, and two catches for 26 yards. Carey went 10-for-22 for
148 yards, and rushed for 45 yards and two scores, while
Vieira caught three balls for 47 yards.
The difference in the second half was feeding off the
turnovers, said Schuback. I said earlier in the week we
needed great special teams and some turnovers. We felt we
were better on special teams. So that was a key for us. Dave
ran a punt back, we almost blocked one, a snap went over
their head, and look at (Mancuso). Those two (field goals)
are huge. So we knewif we could get themstopped defen-
sively we could get rolling.
The Blue Devils will travel to Dunmore on Saturday af-
ternoon to take on Holy Cross at Monsignor Crotti Field at
St. Anthonys Playground. The Crusaders are 5-3 with all
three of its losses coming at home.

OBITUARIES
casions, and prepared him to be
an inspired addition to the
country music scene.
After moving to Nashville in
2004, Ryan joined the Ameri-
can Federation of Musicians of
the United States and Canada,
and shortly thereafter began
playing with the LoCash Cow-
boys in late 2005. The bands
blend of country-rock created a
new sound in country music
that was not complete without
the unique sound of Ryans fid-
dle. It was not uncommon to see
him twirling his bow, tossing it
in the air, singing along while
playing, and sprinting across
stage or jumping off speakers
as part of his energetic per-
formance.
Outside of his musical career,
Ryan was a self-declared
geek and actively involved in
many groups and organizations
based on uniting a community
with similar interests. He was a
member of the 501st Legion
and the Rebel Legion, all-vol-
unteer organizations formed to
promote interest in Star Wars
through the building and wear-
ing of quality costumes and
props, and to proudly facilitate
the use of those costumes for
Star Wars related events as well

Bachelor of Science in Infor-
mation Technology from the
Rochester Institute of Technol-
ogy where he was the first stu-
dent to minor in Music and was
selected to play with the highly
respected RIT Polished Brass
Quintet. His passion for music
began with the classical violin
training he began at the age of 3
and grewto include a proficien-
cy for the guitar, trumpet, and
mandolin. As part of a pivotal
senior project in high school, he
traded his classical violin styl-
ings for the playful energy of
the fiddle when he was given
the opportunity to play twin
fiddles with the revered Charlie
Daniels at the Kirby Center in
Wilkes-Barre. Including this
defining moment, he played
alongside Daniels on seven oc-
as contributions to the local
community through costumed
charity and volunteer work.

about voting as every citizens
right and responsibility. Thus,
the election of student council
representatives began. Votes
were cast for class representa-
tives in first through eighth
grades. Tworepresentatives were
chosen fromeach class. Officers
were elected at the first council
meeting. Mrs. Evelyn Owens,
third grade and Mrs. Ann Marie
Walsh, eighth grade, serve as
moderators for the Student
Council.

It didnt take long for Stevie
Lynn Dorbad 11, M.S.P.T., to re-
turn to her alma mater, Miser-
icordia University. Three
months after being one of four
valedictorians in her graduating
class, the Exeter native and
Wyoming Area High School
graduate returned to campus to
be one of two professional clin-
icians to staff the new Passan
Hall Physical Therapy Center on
the lower campus.
The collaboration between
NovaCare Rehabilitation and the
Department of Physical Therapy
at Misericordia University has
created a professional clinic at
100 Lake St., Dallas Borough,
which will provide additional
clinical opportunities for Miser-
icordia students majoring in
physical therapy, and an addi-
tional site for regional residents
to receive standard and low-cost
treatment for their ailments.
I cannot explain how excited
I am to be back and intimately
involved with Misericordia Uni-
versity, says Frank Serino,
M.S.P.T., market manager of
NovaCare Rehabilitation and a
1999 graduate of Misericordia.
We couldnt have planned it
any better having the three of us
involved. I feel so comfortable
there and excited not only to
treat students, staff and commu-
nity, but also we will be provid-
ing learning experiences for the
students.
We will be helping in their
labs as well as having students
spend time with us in clinic. It is
very rewarding to be part of the
team, Serino adds.
The Passan Hall Physical
Therapy Center is similar to any
other rehabilitation center
staffed by licensed clinicians. It
will accept most major medical
insurances, including Geisinger,
Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue
Shield, and it will provide ther-
apy for orthopedic conditions,
sports injuries, workers com-
pensation claims, neurological
disorders, radiculopathy, gait
dysfunction, stroke and more.
What separates the new clinic
fromothers in the area is its ded-
ication to providing care to those
who cannot afford it, while also
providing additional educational
opportunities to Misericordia
students. I believe that people
who truly need skilled services
should not be denied because an
insurance company or life cir-
cumstances do not provide them
the opportunity, says Serino, a
Pittston Area High School grad-
uate who is in charge of 12 Nova-
Care clinics from Philadelphia
to Northeastern Pennsylvania.
No one should be denied
medically necessary care be-
cause an insurance company
does not approve due to the level
of plan the patient has or the cir-
cumstances of the injury, adds
Serino, the son of Frank and An-
geline Serino. Insurances place
more and more restrictions on
care and pay less and less. This
should not determine the care a
person receives. Granted, we
cannot do pure pro-bono work,
but to be able to give to those
truly in need is really nice and
gives me a sense of gratification
in our profession.
The Passan Hall Physical
Therapy Center is the second
low-cost clinic on campus. The
Department of Speech-Lan-
guage Pathology has been pro-
viding clinical opportunities to
regional clients since 2003 in the
Speech-Language and Hearing
Center. To date, more than 2,500
people 1,980 children and
520 adults have been treated
at the clinic by students and fac-
ulty members.
Misericordias latest endeavor
to provide outreach to the com-
munity also provides a venue for
former students to give back to
the profession and to remain true
to the tenets of MU by helping
those most in need. The centers
chief clinicians, Dorbad and
Joshua Hogan 99, 11, M.S.P.T.,
D.P.T., NovaCare Rehabilitation
center manager, are excited by
the opportunity to give back to
MU and to people.
I think this partnership will
really benefit the local and cam-
pus communities as well as give
the physical therapy students
some great opportunities to ex-
perience real cases and learn
some of the business aspects of
clinic operation, says Hogan, a
Drums, Pa., resident and the son
of Eugene and the late Marie
Hogan. I think its great that
Misericordia students have this
opportunity, really right on cam-
pus. I feel it will be beneficial
for NovaCare, which is looking
to grow in the area, as well as
strengthening an already strong
Misericordia PT program with
opportunities that didnt exist
before.
I dont think you can pick a

Pittston Area Marching
Patriots Gear Up For
2011-2012 Season
By: Ashley Muchler
If you were to lean out of your
house on any Wednesday in Oc-
tober, you might hear children
playing in the last warm days of
fall, strong autumn winds rush-
ing through the trees, and some-
where, off in the distance, you
hear....music?
Well, if you live in Pittston,
then the music you are hearing
belongs to none other than the
Pittston Area Marching Patriots,
working hard at one of their typ-
ical four hour long practices.
The Marching Patriots, now
under the new direction of
Mr.Eric Boylan, are the 2009
and 2010 Calvacade of Bands
Champions, and are also the
2009 Atlantic Coast Champions.
After a long summer of prac-
ticing, the Patriots started their
season with a competition at
Blue Mountain High School, re-
ceiving 1st place, and went on to
compete at Wyoming Area High
School, receiving 2nd place.
Marching Patriot Senior Katlyn
Jumper is very excited about the
coming season of the group.
"This season is so different but
wonderful at the same time,"
said Jumper. "This is because of
the many great people we work
with, the show, and the joy of be-
ing able to perform for many. If
hearts are moved we know we
have done our part this season."
The Patriots will be hosting a
home competition on November
5 at Pittston Area High School.
All are invited and are asked to
please come and support the Pa-
triots in their last competition
before Championships at Her-
shey Park Stadium.

Jane believes that the hardest
part of high school is final ex-
ams. She said if she could teach

the future Jane intends on going
to college.

is the daughter of Jean and Joe
Boyanowski and was born on

most vividly remembers her first

freshman, she said that she was
lost; she looks back at it nowand
just laughs. She said if she can
do anything differently she
would hold on to every moment
because of how fast high school
goes by. Her favorite food is piz-
za; her favorite movie is The
Hangover, and her favorite ce-
lebrity is Marilyn Monroe. She
loves being with her best friends
Emily Zera, Dalton Hazlet, and

catch phrase what doesnt kill
you makes you stronger.

by Key Club, work, and teaching

dents at Wyoming Area Ca-
tholic were invited to purchase
an Accelerated Reader titled
book during the Scholastic
Book fair to donate to Holy
Rosary for use in their library
and for the Accelerated Read-
ing program. Under the direc-
tion of Mrs. Theresa Sabetta,
school librarian, students pur-
chased in excess of 500 books
that have been donated to Holy
Rosarys library.
The faculty of Wyoming Ar-
ea Catholic purchased and col-
lected art supplies for the art
department and classrooms at
Holy Rosary in hopes of re-
plenishing those supplies that
were lost.
Aclothing drive that was un-
derway at the school during the
time of the flooding, was re-
directed and clothing collected
was donated to flooding vic-
tims in the West Pittston com-
munity who are neighbors to
