Advertising deadline is Thursday at 3 P.M.
Thats my boy over there.
Hes 24 and works at an ad
agency in Boulder, Co. This is
his Fathers Day gift to me.
Being a man isnt easy.
Theres no step-by-step manual
to teach someone.
Sure, there are guidelines.
The Bibles certainly a good
one to look to for advice. But
theres a whole lot of other stuff
packed in there that might
cloud the manly tutelage. And
its certainly not the Be a Man
For Dummies we all need.
Instead, were left to learn
from the world around us, to
pick up pieces of wisdom here
and there from wherever we
can.
This is risky. Especially when
we turn to things like the eve-
ning news. More especially
when the headline story details
the less than personal photog-
raphy exploits of a US Con-
gressman. Or the tragic, moral
fall of a golf legend. Or an
A-list celebritys chaotic obses-
sion with winning.
Its more like were surround-
ed with limitless examples of
how not to be a man.
But amidst the sex scandals
and steroids, we find a few
glimmers of hope. A handful of
men doing everything they can
to ensure that we, who are on
our way to manhood, do it the
right way. I just happen to be
lucky enough to have one such
man for a father.
And on this Fathers Day, I
can think of no better way to
thank him for every lesson hes
given me than to relay a few of
them to you.
Lesson One: Be a Tag Tuck-
er. This ones fairly straight-
forward. A Tag Tucker is some-
one who will assist a friend,
family member, or even a com-
plete stranger in tucking a shirt
tag neatly beneath the collar
from which it rebelliously es-
caped. Awkward, yes. But most
definitely appreciated.
And a Tag Tucker does more
than tuck tags. He holds open
doors. He gives up his seat for a
young mother on a crowded
bus. He minds his Ps and Qs.
Always. Hes polite and friendly
with everyone he deals with,
from the mailman to the CEO.
Hes an ear when you want one,
a shoulder when you need one,
and a steward of positivity.
If youre looking to be a man,
start first by being a Tag Tuck-
er.
Lesson Two: Eat the green
Lifesavers. Many of you may
be familiar with this concept.
For those who arent and are
soon expecting to be fathers,
you will be. You see, in some
sort of cruel ploy, the Lifesavers
company decided to stock each
roll with anywhere between two
and four green candies. No one
likes these. Least of all your
kids. And its your job as a
good dad to eat these so that
junior can get his hands on the
cherry one waiting on deck.
Well, life is filled with green
Lifesavers. And to be a man,
you need to be willing to take
them without complaint, to
endure a few hardships so oth-
ers wont have to. Sometimes
its as simple as eating the nasty
candy. Often times, its not. Its
taking an extra shift at work to
give a buddy a much-needed
break. Its helping your kids
with algebra after a long day at
the office. Its sitting through
your nieces dance recital. I
know, that one sounds almost
unbearable. But bear it. Be-
cause you cant truly be a man
without being willing to sacri-
fice.
Lesson Three: Be a cheer-
leader. No, you dont have to
wear a skirt and shake pom-
poms. Unless, of course, you
choose to. Thats your own
business. But you do need to be
enthusiastically supportive of
the important people in your
life: your wife, your girlfriend,
your kids, your parents. Be
their biggest fan.
The love and support you
funnel their way will help them
more than you know. Trust me.
Lesson Four: Love too much.
Where lessons One through
Three will all greatly help you
on your journey toward man-
hood, lesson four is the clinch-
er. To be a man, a real man, you
need to be willing to give of
yourself so fully that it hurts.
To everyone.
Tip your waitress a little too
generously. Find the time to
volunteer to help those who
really need it. Play a game of
catch with your ten-year-old
neighbor when hes looking
glum. Shovel your moms
snow-covered sidewalk even
if she lives ten miles away.
Do all of these things with a
smile. Love is infectious. The
more you give, the more it will
spread.
If when your time as man
comes to a close you can say, I
loved almost too much, then
youve accomplished some-
thing truly beautiful.
These arent the only lessons
youll need. Theyre just a good
start. Ive had nearly 25 years to
begin to learn these lessons.
And Im still learning them.
Turns out, learning to be a
man isnt as easy as it sounds.
Luckily, I have a good teacher.

hen St. Marys As-
sumption School on
the corner of Church
and Carroll streets let out classes
for the last time on Thursday all
that was left were the memories
and the history. And after a run
of 143 years, there are a lot both.
Perhaps no one is intertwined
in that history more than Do-
rothy Williams. Not only was her
maternal grandfather Frank
Baumgartner on the committee
that built the school in 1924, her
paternal grandparents John and
Elizabeth Boos sold the land for
the school to Rev. M. J. Hoban
Bishop of the Scranton Diocese
in 1908.
Though family lore holds that
Boos donated the land, the deed
shows it was sold. In any case,
the diocese got a deal because
the lot was big enough for a
school and a convent.
Williams graduated from St.
Marys as did her five children
and they are among the10 grand-
children, 13 great-grandchildren
and four great-great grandchil-
dren of Frank Baumgartner and
John Boos to attend St. Marys.
The four great-great grand-
children, three sons and one
daughter of Mark and Michael
Skutack, were St. Marys stu-
dents when the school closed on
Thursday.
Williams, 72, was Dorothy
Boos when she grew up on Car-
roll Street next door to the con-
vent which sits behind the
church on the land her grandfa-
ther sold in 1908.
She said having a dozen or so
nuns for neighbors was not a
problem. They were just like
regular neighbors, she said.
She moved away and lived in
Philadelphia, New York and
West Wyoming, before moving
back to the homestead when her
father died 25 years ago.
On Thursday after the students
left, Williams went to the school
to enquire about a plaque in the
entranceway. The large marble
plaque is engraved with the
names of the men who were on
the building committee, her
St. Mary's church, rectory and school in a photo dating to the early 1900s. A new brick school was built in 1924 replacing the building on the right. The photo was sub-
mitted by

For someone who is just 27-
years-old, Pittston-raised guita-
rist Mike Mizwinski has quite an
impressive resume. From being
a fixture in the local scene, to na-
tional tours from coast to coast
playing with the likes of moe.,
Jackie Greene, and Derek
Trucks, Mizwinski has experi-
enced more than many other mu-
sicians get to in their entire life-
times.
While many artists who get a
feel for the national scene tend to
forget their roots, the young mu-
sician chose to concentrate more
on his original material, which
he says is where his passion is.
Recently, the Dispatch met
with the thriving musician who
mostly goes by Miz to discuss
his career in music and preview
his upcoming co-headlining
show with Cabinet this Friday at
the Northeast Fair.
When did you get into mu-
sic?
I was raised in a musical fam-
ily. Both my aunt and uncle play
in a band, Old Friends. My mom
and my dad met in music school
at Marywood University. So I
was in my moms tummy while
they were practicing for choir
and stuff like that. I think that
had a lot to do with it getting
into it through my family.
Growing up, did you always
veer towards playing guitar,
with the influence of your fa-
ther and his playing?
I think it was both sides of the
family but thats all I ever want-
ed to do, was play guitar. I cant
even remember not wanting to
do that. It was all I was good at
(laugh).
Starting off, how did you
learn?
My dad. Eventually, I took
some lessons from Robbie
Walsh, whois a great guitar play-
er from the area.

t an age when most men
are going to Little
League games and
dance recitals to watch their
grandchildren, Frank Parra, 62,
is doing the same with his five-
year-old daughter, Ellie.
Ellie is a T-ball player, dance
student and a violin student.
Parents whom Parra interacts
withandwhodont knowhimof-
ten assume he is Ellies grandfa-
ther. Sometimes, Parra said,
they say, oh, your grand-
daughter is cute or a good danc-
er or something, and Ill say,
thank you, but thats my little
girl. They may be a little embar-
rassed at first, but in the long run
they think its pretty neat.
Parra was 57 when Ellie was
born to his second wife, Maria,
who was 46 and had been ad-
vised by doctors she was unlike-
ly to conceive.
Parra believes he and his wife
got help fromabove. Before El-
lie was born my mother died, he
said. Sometimes when one door
closes, God opens another.
Dr. Gerald Gibbons broke the
news that the door had opened.
Maria went to see Gibbons in the
spring of 2005 with cramps. I
remember theysent her for a mil-
lion tests to find out what was
wrong, Parra said. Then Gerry
calledme andsaidFrank, are you
sitting down? I think Maria is
pregnant.
Though the pregnancy was
considered high risk and Maria
went weekly to see a specialist in
Allentown, her daughter was
born on February 8, 2006, with-
out complications.
They named her Eliana which
is Hebrew for The Lord has Re-
sponded or Gods Gift, some-
thing Parra, a Catholic, truly be-
lieves. I know every child is
special, but she is like a gift from
God. Shes the greatest thing that
ever happened in my life.
Parra said while younger fa-
thers may have more energy, so
far hes been able to keep up.
They say shell keep you young
and theres some truth to that. We
do things together. We fish, toss
a ball around. When she went to
her first field hockey practice
she didnt know any of the kids
and I guess she was a little
scared. I had to get out there and
hit the ball with her.
Parra is the Wyoming Area
high school athletic director, a
job which keeps him active and
helps him bond with Ellie.
Shell go to softball games with
me and be in the dugout. We go
to volleyball games. So shes
right there with me a lot.
Parra has a daughter from his
first marriage, Michelle, who is
28 and has a three-year-old son
Blake. Ellie is his aunt. They
sometimes have play dates.
Its kind of a unique situa-
tion, Parra said, but Ive been
blessed to have some great ladies
involved in my life.
Age no barrier to the joys of fatherhood

ers name among them. The
school principal said Williams
could have the plaque and she
expects to have it removed next
week.
Most of the contents of the
school books, furniture and
other equipment will be moved
to other Catholic grade schools
which remain open, much of it to
Holy Rosary in Duryea. Whats
left will be donated to Catholic
missions.
The Sisters of Christian Char-
ity founded St. Marys school in
1868. The first classes were
taught in the church until a
wooden school was built on the
corner of Wood and Sand streets
in 1890. In 1924, a new school
was built on the land conveyed
by Boos.

What makes a good father?
Inour opiniona goodfather wouldrath-
er give than receive. Sure a father would
be happy to get a card today or maybe a
good cigar or a bottle of wine, but hed
much rather give and do for his kids with-
out expecting gifts in return.
Today may be Fathers Day, but to a
good father every day is Kids Day.
And a good father to us is one who is
interested in what his kids are doing and
we dont mean feigned oh- I -have-to-go-
to-this-recital-when-I -could- be-golfing
interest.
A good father learns about his kids in-
terests and is surprised sometimes that
what they do really is interesting.
Above all a good father is one who is
there. At the recital, the ball game, the
school program and most importantly at
home. Sure were all busy, but too busy to
be there for our own kids?
Thats a moral failing in our book.
Absent fathers are the primary predic-
tors of all kinds of social ills that affect
children: poor grades, dropping out, un-
employment, welfare dependency, pover-
ty, crime, drug use, promiscuity, etc.
And the children of absent fathers are
much more likely to become absent fa-
thers themselves.
Millions of our fellowcitizens are in ju-
venile andadult prisons inAmerica. What
percentage of them do you suppose grew
up in two-parent households? Its hard to
quantify, but by some estimates its as low
as 30percent. Andit is estimatedthat one-
fifth of them have fathers who did prison
time.
Single mothers are often held up as he-
roes and in many cases they are. But just
about any single mother would admit she
could use the help of a partner to raise
children.
It takes two parents to raise a kid who
will have a good shot at a productive adult
life. A child who will become an adult
who is a benefit to our society and culture.
We may laugh when we hear of a mil-
lionaire athlete who has a string of kids
with different wives in different cities.
Such an athlete may be so rich he can sup-
port all these kids financially. But what
kind of support is that, really?
Support to us is moral support.
Its being there.
Its being a Dad.
So, happy Fathers day to all you dads
out there.
And remember it will be happier if you
are just there.
Advice to
Dads: be there
Friends and fellow readers, Mondays and Tuesdays havent
been too kind to me as of late. However, on Monday May 9, I
woke up to bright sunshine and blue skies, which has been a
rarity in the past fewmonths. My dogwoods were in bloom, and
the lilac trees that my late parents planted around our home be-
fore I was born were looking and smelling wonderful. And if that
wasnt enough, my big surprise came when I walked out to the
front of my house and sawa freshly paved Philadelphia Avenue.
The sewer project has had its share of problems and has put a
strain on a lot of WP residents. But it looks like the project is
coming to an end, and the past is the past. On that Monday, I
stood out in front of the home where I grewup and sawa beauti-
ful dayanda street free of potholes anddebris. It was trulya good
day.

Where do we begin? Collectively, we represent approximately
300 years of service in the parochial school system. Ironically,
we are having difficulty finding just the right words to express
our sincere thanks toour school family. The last twomonths have
been emotional for everyone, especially our parents and student
whose support is unmeasured.
St. Marys Assumption has prided itself on spiritual growth
and academic excellence since its humble beginnings with the
Sisters of ChristianCharity. Amost sincere thankyougoes out to
all of the Sisters, the former pastors of St. Marys Assumption,
andthe pastors of the Greater PittstonArea whoservedfaithfully
on a weekly basis to ensure our children celebrated the sacra-
ments at Liturgy. We have modeled our mission statement of
sending forth faith-filled, life-long learners. And, we have taught
our students to become actively involved in the life of their com-
munity by serving those less fortunate. Our parents, family, and
friends have always demonstrated their undying support, dedi-
cation, and love for any activity or event connected with St. Ma-
rys Assumption. We have worn the Challenger name proudly.

So many things have occurred lately that have
me questioning well, life in general, I guess.
Startling things, sad things, thinks that make you
go hmmmmor, huh?? or ughhh
But mostly, I have to say, these occurrences have
made me realize, with excruciating clarity, just
how lucky I am. How much I need to wake-up ev-
ery, single morning and think: Life is good, baby,
life is good.
Sadly, we sometimes must experience a good
swift kick to open our eyes in observance of lifes
little gifts. Sure, the past two years have been a tad
challenging, but compared to the uphill battles and
blinding grief that have visited too many people to
count lately, Ive proclaimed my life to be one big
Whine-Free Zone, starting now. (Side note: My
son just helpfully inserted the thought that I should
add Cranky-Free Zone as well. Everybodys a co-
median at the Sanitarium).
Ive decided that its ridiculous to wait until
Thanksgiving to mentally notate my gratitude and
appreciations, for all things big and small. We all
really need to stop the complaining, stop the back-
biting, stop the petty bull-crap, stop the silly and
punitive letters to the editor, put on our big girl
pants and big boy jock and get busy every day to
just say thanks, out loud and with oomph and
make sure you believe it.
And make sure you live it.
And make sure you share it.
Every day, Im thankful for:
The fact that I did not die of breast cancer.
I shudder to think what would become of my
children or home if I did succumb. I know that my
husband would never be able to grocery shop on
his own, for example. On an atypical grocery trek
recently, I sent himto Gerritys grasping a list with
ONE ITEM upon it. One. I have to split it into in-
crements or I end up with a two week supply of
Twizzlers andMiddleswarthandfour jars of olives.
I asked him to buy one bag of baby spinach.
Thats all. He called me at work twice. Once to ask
if I meant a box of frozen spinach and once to con-
firmthat I wanted a bushel of basil. I kid you not.
Needless to say, we had no spinach salad for din-
ner that evening, but we had plenty of lettuce, oreg-
ano, zucchini and cucumbers. Apparently spin-
ach is code for anything greenish in the produce
department. Can you imagine if I asked for two
pounds of spare ribs? We wouldve hadMilkBones
for dinner.
I am so thankful that, post-colonoscopy, my de-
posits have been healthy and on-schedule. Dr. Oz
has instructed me that if my dumpage has the dis-
mount and delivery of an Acapulco sky-diver, I am
in excellent shape.
Now, I just have to stop screaming SCORE!
with unbridled glee every time it all works-out in
my favor. Especially at work.
I am thankful Ive dramatically relaxed my hyp-
er-vigilant parenting style so much so that my mid-
dle sonis coastingandmyyoungest has, bydefault,
more freedom than a blind alley cat. Some days I
quite literally forget where I left himand amsome-
what surprised when he turns up, mid-day, for a
financial handout in order to purchase a glazed do-
nut. Usually I blink, stare and exclaim: Oh!
THEREyou are! I thought you were in the attic for
the past 9 hours
So thankful that my 20 years as a mother has al-
lowed me to hone and refine my bullshit detector to
rival the finest counter-intelligence agent.
For instance, when my older son says: Okay,
Momheres my idea. Just hear me out it is
always, always about something he wants, not
needs, and requires either my signature, my credit
card or my fingerprints and may include a car, a
computer, an apartment or a lemur. As soon as I
hear, heres my idea in that tone you know
the one I shut down and hide my wallet. But not
my anti-psychotic medication.
So thankful that I have a job that makes me sin-
cerely happy and happier still that Im not re-
quired to arrive until noon!
Everyone who knows me knows I crave sleep
more than I crave baked potatoes with sour cream
and that, my friends, is monumental. Ive always
been a late-riser and this job allows me that luxury.
The downside is that I amchecking-out books to
patrons who are averting their gaze frommy sheet-
marked face and sandman-encrusted eyes on a dai-
ly basis.
I think it makes them sick, but they want their
books andare toopoliticallycorrect topoint out the
fact that Im still wearing my slippers.
Im always thankful when I find a surprise con-
sisting of my missing underpants or special sock-
lettes as Immakingmybedandtheypresent them-
selves fromthe corners of my fitted sheets. Its like
Christmas.
I amthankful that assorted individuals caught in
my crosshairs endure my monotonous and mind-
numbing rants about nutrition and weight-loss and
have the good manners not to mention the chunk of
Cheeto stuck to the area of my sweater where my
boob used to be.
Hypocrite? Yes. Hypocrite who loves pretend
cheese products that glowin the dark? Double yes.
Imthankful that the curve balls thrown our way
over the last few years were caught and thrown
back.
Im thankful my husband and kids still like me,
sort-of, and that my friends seem to have staying
power.
I choose to have a glass half full, not half empty.
Sure, its half full of vodka, but like my future its
clear, optimistic, offers substantial happiness if I
have just enough and more than a few giggles if I
have too much.
Win-win.
MOTHERS DAZE
Maria Jiunta Heck
Thanksgiving in June
Maria Hecks column, which appears in this space
every other week, is always a win-win for Dispatch
readers.
First let me wish each and every dad a Happy Fathers Day! Being a
dad means a whole lot of different things for different dads. I know
that for my dad it meant having fun, but he also took the job seriously
as there were six of us!
My Dad was an avid reader. He always clipped out newsworthy
information to share with each one of us on topics that he felt we
needed to know more about. This would be one clipping I am sure
that he would have cut out and posted on the refrigerator for all to
read! Washing food, does it promote food safety? Certainly one
would agree that washing fruits and vegetables is a must as they are
grown near the ground where animals, insects and even birds may
contaminate the produce. Or they are picked and handled by numer-
ous people before theyarrive inour grocerybasket. What about meat,
should we be washing our meats?
Traditionally I cant ever remember someone recommending that
we wash our beef burger before tossing it on the grill; however I do
not some that insist upon washing chicken cutlets.
USDA does not recommend washing any raw poultry, beef, pork,
lamb, or veal before cooking it. Bacteria in raw meat and poultry
juices can be spread to other foods, utensils and surfaces, otherwise
known as cross contamination. The best way to remove bacteria is to
cook it until the bacteria is killed. Howdo you knowwhen it is killed?
For beef, veal, lamb and nowpork (steaks, roasts and chops) they are
killed at 145 degrees. Cook poultry until it reaches165 degrees. Cook
ground beef burgers; cook until the internal temperature reaches 155
degrees.
Be wise when preparing your food to eat. If you want to learn even
more, visit www.fsis.usda.gov and search on Washing Food: Does it
Promote Food Safety? For more educational materials please visit
our web site at www. http://luzerne.extension.psu.edu.
One of mydads favorite desserts was chocolate cookies withwhite
chocolate chunks. I changed the recipe a bit to include white whole
wheat flour nowthat it is available inthe grocerystores. Select choco-
late with higher amounts of cacao for an extra boost of phytochem-
icals. Substitute 4 egg whites to reduce the cholesterol.
Chocolate Cookies
4 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate- choose with
higher amounts of cacao
2 cup white whole wheat flour
1/1/2 teaspoons baking powder
11/2 cups packed brown sugar
3/4 butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs (or 4 egg whites)
12ounces white chocolate, choppedor1package (12ounces) white
chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt unsweetened chocolate accord-
ing to package directions; cool.
Combine flours, baking powder in bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter
and vanilla in another bowl with electric mixer. Add eggs, beat until
well blended. Beat in melted chocolate. Gradually add flour mixture,
mixing well after each addition. Stir in white chocolate. Drop by
heaping tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 11 to 12 minutes or just until set. Cool. Makes about 3 1/2
dozen cookies.

around a track, a petting zoo, 25
amusement rides and Buffo, the
Worlds Strongest Clown,
whose voice mail cheerfully ex-
plains, Im out clowning
around or pumping iron.
Among the biggest draws, fair
chairman Joe Pupa said, are hyp-
nosis demonstrations by Ron
Diamond from Montgomery,
Ala.
People line up an hour before
the shows start, to get a good
seat, Pupa said.
Here, too, theres a touch of
competitive spirit. As Diamond
explained in a telephone inter-
view, many audience members
become quite eager to participa-
te, but not everyone is a good
candidate for hypnosis.
By the time my pre-show is
complete, Ive got a handle for
whether theyre a good candi-
date. Theyve basically done a
self-elimination, Diamond said,
explaining a good candidate
must have the ability to relax,
maintain focus and take suggest-
ions.
Put those three together, he
said.
About 3 percent of the popula-
tion possesses those qualities to
such an extent they can have sur-
gery using hypnosis rather than
anesthesia, he said. Another 20
percent has those qualities to a
lesser degree, enough to take
part in his show.
The rest of the approximately
80 percent of the population
cant be hypnotized, said Dia-
mond, who likes to share the sci-
ence of the procedure with his
audiences.
The first myth I break down
is the TV myth, and the movie
myth, that people go into a
trance. Trance would imply
they are under control.
On stage with Diamond, peo-
ple might do something like im-
itate a favorite pop star or shake
their arms in response to a stimu-
lus.
They wouldnt do anything, he
said, that was outside the bounds
of their personal ethics.
Theyre validated by the au-
dience, because the audience is
having fun with them not at
them, but with them, he said.
Another reward is the good
feeling supplied by a massive
rush of endorphins. Its like
beingondrugs your bodys nat-
ural drugs, nothing artificial, he
said.
This years fair entertainment
also includes Elvis tribute artist
Shawn Klush , who will perform
at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Wednes-
day, a Billy Joel /Elton John trib-
ute at 7:30 and 9:45 p.m. Thurs-
day, the music of Cabinet and
Miz at 7:30 p.m. June 24, a re-
union of the band Dakota at 8
p.m. June 25 and Joe Stanky and
his Cadets at 7:30 p.m. June 26.
Its just about the best value
you can get for $9 a person, Bi-
ros-Kuzminski said. You can
stay all day and go on the rides.
In this economic time you dont
want to spend tons of money, and
you can get advance tickets that
are only $6 at many banks and
credit unions.

Question #1
After purchasing
the Lincoln Theatre
in 1959, Joseph Bur-
gio discovered some-
thing special in an
old pretzel can found
inside the theater. What
was it?
1961 50 Years Ago
The Visiting Nurse Association of
Pittston prepared to celebrate its 50th
year of service to the area. An open
house was held at the YMCA audi-
torium with Mrs. S.A. Shoemaker as
general chairwoman. Some of the com-
mittee members were Minnie McClel-
lan, Mrs. John Loughney, Mrs. C.J.
Bufalino, Elizabeth Moffatt, Mrs.
Harold Wrubel, Mrs. Esther Tinsley,
and Mrs. Harold Flannery.
According to jstor.org, prior to the
start of VNA in Pittston, Mary E.
Judge R.N. was the only visiting nurse
in Pittston. Alice H. McCormac was
the first supervisor and in 1913, Helen
Uder was added to the staff.
Pittston High School held its 75th
annual commencement of 133 gradu-
ates. Various cash awards for excellence
went to Bonnie Johns, Johanna Guar-
nieri, Mary Ann Verbitsky, Phyllis
Faccipointi, Carol Savadge, Mary
Colarusso, Margaret DeAngelo, Patri-
cia Ann Butera, Judith Vierbowski,
Ann De Rosa, Jeanne Whyte, Joseph
Keating and Angelo Marcino.
Various medals in music art and jour-
nalism were awarded to Thomas
McCrone, Thomas Shannon, Florence
DeMarco, Patricia Butera, Jeanne
Whyte, Charlene Polit, Florence De-
Marco, Rosina Bellanco and Paul
Yarolin.
The Sunday Dispatch Hunting and
Fishing columnist, Joe Koval, related
the story of how smallmouth black bass
came to be introduced to the Susquehan-
na River. Our river had plenty of shad,
eels and walleye, but no bass. The
smallmouth black bass was native to
Canada, the Tennessee water shed and
the Potomac River. Some railroading
fishermen captured and brought the fish
by train and deposited them in the Sus-
quehanna. The fish quickly propagated
now provide good angling for our local
fishermen.
1971 40 Years Ago
Eighth grade students at St. John the
Evangelist School thought of a way they
could revisit 1971 upon their graduation
in 1975. Classmates collected samples
of tap water, river water, baseball stand-
ings, top forty songs, photographs, an
issue of the Sunday Dispatch along with
headlines of the day and placed the
items in a time capsule Dubbed the
Spirit of 75. Sister M. Daniela
McCarthy and teacher Michael Capu-
to sealed a large tube with the collected
items inside. Mr. McGarry, father of
one of the students, provided material
for the capsule and our editor, Ed Ack-
erman, supplied the artwork.
John B. Salek, the Duryea News
columnist for the Sunday Dispatch,
tackled the question, How old is the
Borough of Duryea? Salek tracked the
early beginnings of the borough to 1728
when the Indian village of Assarugney
was founded on the north bank of the
Lackawanna River extending to Camp-
bells Ledge. Known as Coxton in later
years, the section was part of the first
ward of Duryea Borough. To find a
comprehensive account of historical
information about Duryea go to
www.duryeapa.com.
Josephine Mei, of 202 Susquehanna
Avenue, Wyoming, enjoyed gardening as
a hobby. Every year she looked forward
to seeing one of her most difficult gar-
dening challenges bloom. Her lush
Clematis tree, one of the more difficult
vines to cultivate, exhibited its beautiful
flowers for one and a half months during
the summer. Although the tree is not
rare, most gardeners shy away from the
challenge the tree poses, as site, soil and
care requirements are numerous. Orig-
inating in Japan and China the plants
were bred in Britain, France, and Ger-
many.
1981 30 Years Ago
Linda Shannon of Pittston was the
winner of the third annual Edmund J.
Toole Fathers Day Essay Contest. Her
essay, Why My Father Is Special to Me,
was chosen from over 200 essays sub-
mitted by sixth grade students in the
Pittston and Wyoming Area School
Districts. The contest was named in
honor of the father of Jaycee member
Wil Toole. Linda received a $50 savings
bond and her father Robert accepted a
plaque.
Question #2
Proclaimed by the Mayor of Spokane,
Washington, June 19, 1910, was the first
celebration of Fathers Day. Currently
how many fathers are estimated to live
in the United States?
The Annual UNICO all-star football
game pitting the east against the west
was in its 29th year. The contest sched-
uled for the Wyoming Area Stadium
would see ten Warriors and five Patriots
appearing. Jack Goldowski, Al Micha-
lec, Mike Sobeski, Tom Nowakowski
and Joe Mantione were slated for the
east while Guy Selenski, Thomas Lan-
gan, Lou Ciampi, Charles Yozwiak,
Howard Rudd, Todd Piatnik, Lou
Sebastian, Paul Havrilla, Anthony
Angeli, and Rich Morgan for the west.
Kim Keiper of West Wyoming was the
reigning Miss UNICO in 1981.
In its 61st year it is estimated that
UNICO has raised $250,000 for local
charities. According to their web site
unicowb.com, UNICO is an acronym for
Unity, Neighbor, Integrity, Charity and
Opportunity and is the largest Italian-
American Service Organization in the
United States. Leo J. Sperrazza is the
current president of the local chapter.
The Wyoming Area Girls Softball
team coached by Sandra Chiampi had
reason to be proud of their 1981 season.
They advanced to the semi-finals in
state competition and posted a 21-4
overall record coming within one game
of making it into the state finals. In that
semi-final game the team lost to North
Penn who went on to clinch the title.
Jim Blaskiewicz, Tony Saraceno and
Mike Clonan were in Cherry Hill, New
Jersey attending the Bobby Knight One-
Man Coaches Clinic. Hoping to run into
Knight, one of the most controversial
basketball coaches in the NCAA, the
three men along with many other attend-
ees of the clinic, hung around the hotel
lobby. Blaskiewicz peeked into the hotel
restaurant and was surprised to see the
Indiana Hoosiers coach dining with
former basketball coach from Pittston
Area Jack Gallagher. The men ap-
proached the table and were warmly
received by both men. Gallagher invited
the three men to have dinner with him
and Knight that evening, capping off a
memorable trip. Knight who won 902
NCAA Division I mens college basket-
ball games announced his retirement in
February of 2008.
1991 20 Years Ago
The Business and Professional Wom-
ens Club conducted its final meeting.
Organized in 1947, the club began with
a membership of 75, which over the
years dwindled. The Red Cross, Salva-
tion Army, Pittston Hospital School of
Nursing, and Visiting Nurses Associ-
ation were just some of the beneficiaries
of the countless projects, services and
awards the club sponsored. Some of the
women who served as president over the
years were, Sarah Thomas, Neva Uh-
litz, Edythe Walsh, Rose Bianco, Na-
dine Holleran, Margaret OBoyle,
Dolores Sciandra and Ann Corey.
As members of the Golden Voices,
George and Helen Harmanos, Kay
Haddock, Marge Zinkavich, Marcella
Fountain, Mary Michaels, Emma
Ziobro, Julia Gregus, Anna Duzen,
Florence Nametko, Mary Dirhan,
Agnes Podwika, Jake and Agnes Ko-
nopka, Mary Yonki, Maryann Jakub-
ca, Louise Worokoski, Agnes Endrus-
ick, Josephine DeMecio, Monica Skol-
nick, John and Jean Yurek, enjoyed
bringing smiles to the faces of the peo-
ple they entertained. Members of the
Cosmopolitan Seniors Club, the Golden
Voices sang selections and brought joy
to the residents of local nursing homes.
Exhibiting heroism and valor, Sgt.
Christopher Pakutka of Duryea re-
ceived the Air Medal with Valor and the
Bronze Star while serving as a hel-
icopter pilot with Palehorse Troop, 4th
Squadron, 2nd Armored Cavalry re-
giment of VII Corps in Operation Des-
ert Storm. With great courage, Sgt.
Pakutka demonstrated exceptional abil-
ity under direct enemy fire in an offen-
sive against the Iraqi Republican Guard.
Sgt Pakutka was chosen by his unit to
represent the 2nd Armored Cavalry
regiment as Standard Bearer in parades
held in Washington DC and New York
Answer #1
After he purchased the Lincoln Thea-
ter in Dupont in 1959, Joseph Burgio
found a neatly stored American flag
inside an old pretzel can. Joseph pre-
sented it to the girls drill team sponsored
by Post 4909 Auxiliary in Dupont. The
girls proudly carried the flag in the Heri-
tage Division during a parade held in
Berwick in 1961.
Answer #2
According to the United State Census
Bureau, there are 70.1 million fathers
estimated living in America.
He is nice, kind and generous, he
doesnt give me everything I want, but
he gives me what he can and that is
whats important. Excerpt from1981

cial to Me, by Linda Shannon of Pittston

13211545&13211562Rachel andGeorgie are twosenior Pugs who
were brought to the SPCAwhen their owner felt they could no longer
care for them. Both are really sweet girls who enjoy all the love and
attention they can get! Georgie has a little trouble seeing as clearly as
she used to so fast movements can startle her and shes not very high
energy, but she really enjoys a lap and lots of love as you can see from
her photo. Rachel is more energetic and playful. She loves to go for
walks and loves to play! Both girls are a true joy and would love to
stay together in their new home!
1793439 &4872720 Harrigan and Seamus are two sweet boys who
would love a home together. Both are neutered, Harrigan is 6yrs
young and Seamus is 3. They love to be petted and fussed over and
even like to play whenever they get the chance. They have absolutely
amazing and loving personalities and cannot wait to meet their new
family. For the month of June cats 1yr and older are Free to a Really
Good Home...for more information please check our website-

Being a father must be no easy task. Ive never
been a dad nor do I plan on being one for quite
some time. But when I think about all the things
my dad has done for me throughout my 20 years
of life I realize that Ive come face-to-face with a
true hero.
My dad is one of those fathers that can do anything. He served his
country in the Air Force right after high school and was a father at the
age of 19 to my older sister Francine.
When I think about howyoung my father was it boggles my mind.
He was only a kid himself.
Here I am 20 years old with the full support of my parents driving
around aimlessly in my Toyota Corolla without a care in the world
and here my dad was already raising a family. At the age of 23 my dad
had my older brother Jimmy and was always determined to give all
that he could for his kids.
My dad had a successful career at the Tobyhanna Army Depot
which is one of the largest employers in our area. Nowadays employ-
ers look for that degree when you are seeking a job. My dad had to
rely on his work ethic and instincts which eventually landed himone
of the top management positions at the depot.
At the age of 36 my dad married my mother and when my dad was
38 he had me. However, I was born three months earlier than my due
date, weighed only two pounds, and wasnt expected to make it
through the night. My momtold me that my dad always called me the
Powell nugget. Others would have panicked and lost control. But my
dads will and strong faith in God assured everyone that everything
was going to be okay.
Sure enough I did make it through the night and was diagnosed
with Cerebral Palsy at the age of two. Cerebral Palsy is a condition
that is caused by not gaining enough oxygen to the brain. It affects the
way I walk and tasks that some people take for granted sometimes
seem impossible for me to accomplish.
But my dad always assured me that nothing was impossible and
that I can do anything I set my mind to. When I was told that I would
never be able to ride a bike, my dad practiced with me for hours.
When I would fall my dad would smile and say You can do it son.
Never give up.
I never learned how to ride a bike until I was about 16 but my dad
bought me a three-wheeled bike at Old Mill Pine in West Pittston. I
can still remember how happy I was to join the neighborhood kids.
When I became a Boy Scout my dad was our troop leader and he
was always on top of me to make sure I attended the meetings regu-
larlyanddidwhat I neededtodo. I thought it was a painat the time but
nowI realize he was only trying to teach me a sense of responsibility
and to always do what I said I was going to do. He spent nights work-
ing on my pinewood derby cars until they were perfect. And he
pushed me to earn as many merit badges as I could.
My dad has always made it a point to make sure I was happy. When
I was discouraged about not having any trophies as a kid I can still
remember my dad giving me his golf trophy to make me happy.
The first days of trout season were a must for us and even if we
didnt catch anything we could always look forward to mouth water-
ing Texas wieners from The Barrel afterwards.
As I got older I admired and appreciated what my dad continues to
do for others as well. When something needs to be fixed at the church
Dad gets the call. When my grandma needs help with something Dad
will drop everything he is doing and will be over there in a second.
He is my hero. If I even become half the man he is I knowI will be
successful in life. Dad has taught me life lessons that I will carry with
me long after he passes.
I love you, Dad. Happy Fathers Day!

Zachary Smith, 19, of Pittston
Township, has accomplished
much in his young life. By the
time he turned18, he was already
a certified EMT. This past win-
ter, after many weeks of training,
he completed his fire fighting
essentials class.
But that was only the begin-
ning.
When in May he discovered
that the American Red Cross
was looking for EMTs to volun-
teer their services in the tornado
ravaged towns in Alabama,
Smith was on the phone minutes
later, ready and willing to help.
When he received a call on
May 5 that he was needed ASAP,
he left that night on the 6:30
flight.
He worked in Alabama for
several weeks, missing Mothers
Day with his mom and family in
the process.
His mom regarded her sons
work as a wonderful gift.

Was Robbie the one who got
you into the jam scene or did
that come from other outlets?
It was more from my dad. He
took me to see the Grateful Dead
twice when I was a little kid. I
saw the Dead when I was nine,
and again when I was 12. I ac-
tually saw Bob Weir and Rob
Wasserman at Harveys Lake
when I was seven. That was it
the first time I sawthe Dead was
a life-changing experienceit
was cool because I knew the
songs they were playing. I was
already into it at that early of an
age. I already enjoyed listening
to the Grateful Dead.
Whendidyoustart to realize
you wanted to make a career
out of playing music?
When I was 16, I started off in
my first band Appalachian
Wine House Band. Right from
the bat things were going really
good for us. We were playing
some goodshows at some decent
venues around here. By the time
I was 17, we were playing the
Scranton Cultural Center and the
Mauch Chunk Opera House.
Thats when I first realized I can
make a career out of this. Ever
since my first band, I was just
caught up in it.
Howimportant was music to
you while in school?
We moved back to Pittston Ar-
ea when I was in 9th grade, and I
really regret not joining the jazz
band there. My mom always
wanted me to join the jazz band
and I just thought I was way too
cool for school (laugh). I was
more interested in going to see
Phish, not doing good in school
and listening to Jimi Hendrix. I
really do regret not being more
involved with the high school
music program...in 12th grade,
we did Hotel California with a
full band and I did all the solo-
ing, so that was pretty fun. There
were some really good things to
come out of Pittston Area.
When did you first get in-
volved with the national music
scene?
Through Gongzilla. Prior to
that, I was just a local guy peo-
ple knew who I was at the Jazz
Caf or whatever. My first show
with Gongzilla was at The Trou-
bador in L.A. - one of the most
famous clubs in rock and roll
history and we played with
moe., Umphreys McGee, the
guys from Frank Zappas band,
just a ridiculous list of people.
And from that day on, we were
playing all over the country and
meeting all kinds of people. I
still have connections and con-
tacts through that band.
As a musician, whats more
important to you: being a part
of the national touringscene or
being able to play your own
material like you do in MiZ?
They were both definitely
equally important. I wouldnt
want to say one was more impor-
tant than the other because
Gongzilla opened all those doors
for me, and my band is now
walking through those doors.
The booking agent for Gongzilla
is now my personal booking
agent. It was all there and I think
it all happened just as it needed
to.
How many active bands are
you a part of?
My fathers band (Acoustic
Miz Trio), the Jam Stampede,
Garcia Grass, andmyband, MiZ.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the Vil-
lage Idiots (laugh). I play with
them every Wednesday at Heils
Place.
Favorite band to play with?
My heart is in my original
stuff. Thats been slowly getting
better, and the band is getting
better too. Thats definitely
where my heart is at.
When did you start writing
your own songs?
Probably since I was 11or 12. I
still have songs I wrote when I
was 16. The song Pine Grove
Stomp, I wrote when I was 16.
Your original material is
pretty personal. Do you ever
feel that you dont want to put
too muchof yourself out there?
Not really. I usually write real-
ly personal stuff, but lately Ive
been writing really non-personal
stuff; story telling kind of stuff. I
think a lot of that early stuff I
wrote was just part of me that
needed to heal. If anything, peo-
ple have come back to me and
said that music inspired them.
Thats what its all about.
Without getting too person-
al, since you started touring
youve experienced and over-
come the darker side of the
music industry as well.
The great thing about that now
is, I kind of put the past behind
me and moved on. Ive learned a
lot from the dark side of the mu-
sic world. I learned a lot fromall
the bad decisions I made. I
learned never to do them again.
Therefore, it has helped me live a
better life, which is awesome. I
dont have nearly as many trou-
bles, worries or fears today be-
cause of that. Im more con-
cerned about moving forward in-
to a more inspired life.
Favorite concert youve been
to as a fan?
I dont know if I have one fa-
vorite, but one of themwas Ryan
Adams and The Cardinals at
Constitution Hall in Washington
D.C. in 2007 or 2008. Anymore I
really enjoy concerts where peo-
ple are sitting down and really
listening to the band; and the
acoustics were so good in that
room.
Favorite concert youve ever
played?
Opening for Derek Trucks at
the Sherman Theatre (MiZ).
That was a real good time. Id say
that one and the last Jam Stam-
pede showat the Brooklyn Bowl
with Mark Karan and Kenny
Brooks from RatDog. Mark was
such a nice guy and such a plea-
sure to play with. It was great in
every way.
Favorite album?
Oh, man. Ill just say Bob Dy-
lan Blood on the Tracks just
because its his birthday (laugh).
(Note: the interview was con-
ducted on May 24, Dylans birth-
day.) Thats definitely one of
them.
Favorite book?
The Power of Now by Eck-
hart Tolle.
Three people, living or de-
ceased, to have dinner with?
Jerry Garcia, obviously. I
mean, thats pretty standard.
Definitely John Lennon. Theres
just so many. Do you know who
Id like to have dinner with? The
Dalai Lama. It would be a great
time.

The stately residence of the Ireland
Ambassador to Washington was the scene
Thursday, June 9, in the nations capital
for an eclectic reception set on a theme
highlighting the support of Irish patriots
who rose to prominence in supporting
General George Washington during the
Revolutionary War, and afterwards in a
role that led to the generals becoming the
first President.
Government representatives, diplo-
mats, prominent members of Washing-
tons Ireland cultural organizations,
friends and relatives of John P. Cosgrove,
age 92, gathered as Ambassador Michael
Collins saluted the distinguished Pittston
native who has contributed two historic
paintings to the Embassy where they will
be on permanent display.
Representatives of the Pittston Area
Memorial Librarywent toWashingtonfor
the reception, and were joined by numer-
ous other regional natives. In 2009 Mr.
Cosgrove donated his lifetime collection
of papers and photographs to the library,
along with a $50,000 grant of support.
One of the paintings portrays 13 native
Irish officers who provided critical mili-
tary assistance to Washingtons Revolu-
tionary Army leadership. It was commis-
sioned by Robert E. Stewart, a descant of
Charles Thompson, a native of County
Kerry, who served as Secretary of the
Continental Congress. The artist, Law-
rence OToole of Baltimore, completed
the work shortly after World War II. In
1972, John P. Cosgrove assumed owner-
ship of the painting after a Washington-
based Pittston native and friend, Joseph
Finan, received it from Stewart.
Stewart had taken possession of the
painting from the Society of the Sons of
Cincinnati, which held the painting, but
refused to display it at their Washington
headquarters.
In the second painting, General Wash-
ington is notified of his election as Presi-
dent of the United States by Charles
Thompson, in an historic illustration of
the setting in the Palladian Room at
Mount Vernon, the Presidents estate on
the Potomac, not far fromthe nations cap-
ital. Thompson is depicted presenting the
general with the official documents of his
election. At Washingtons request,
In a painting commissioned by John P. Cosgrove and which hung in the

Thompson remained at Mount Vernon for
two days, and escorted the new president
by stage coach to New York City, where
he was sworn in at Federal Hall on April
30, 1789.
In 1986, when Herbert Collins of the
Smithsonian Institution complained to
Cosgrove that there was no accurate
painting of the 1789 meeting with Wash-
ington and Thompson at Mount Vernon,
Cosgrove himself commissioned the art-
ist Sidney King to complete the work. It
has been established as the only histori-
cally precise illustration of the event.
The painting was displayed at the Na-
tional Archives from1986 until the struc-
ture was vacated for renovation in 2002.
Ambassador Collins opened the cere-
monyonJune 9byremarking, Marie (his
wife) and I are delighted to welcome you
all to the Residence this evening to salute
John Cosgrove, a mainstay of the Irish
community in Washington, DC, a great
andgoodfriendof Irelandandthe Embas-
sy for many years. He is also a dear friend
of mine and Maries.
Ambassador Collins pointed out that
since the foundation of the Irish State
there have been 16 Irish Ambassadors in
Washington and John Cosgrove would
have met and known no less than 13 of
them.
In speaking of the paintings, Ambassa-
dor Collins said, The subject matter of
the two paintings demonstrates better
than words the close historic ties between
our two countries. John himself has
played a significant part in keeping alive
the memory of Irishman Charles Thom-
son and his contribution to the U.S.
He continued, And just in case any-
body wonders whether the Irish in Amer-
ica are still close tothe center of this coun-
try, let me draw to your attention to the
recent iconic photo taken in the Situation
Room during the operation to remove
Osama bin Laden. In it we have the Presi-
dent himself (who, as we all nowknow, is
part Irish!), Vice President Biden, Admi-
ral Mike Mullen, National Security Ad-
viser TomDonilon, Chief of Staff Bill Da-
ley, Deputy National Security Adviser
Denis McDonough and National Security
Adviser for Homeland Security John
Brennan all of whom are Irish Amer-
In this painting, donated by Cosgrove, General George Washington is
surrounded by 13 senior officers all of Irish descent: William Irvine,
Charles Thomson, Richard Butler , Matthew Thornton, Edward Hand,
John Barry, John Shee, Stephen Moylan, James McHenry, Thomas
Lynch, John Sullivan, Charles Carroll and Richard Mongomery.
More than 125 guests were greeted in the foyer of the official Ireland government
residence on S St. N.W. From left are Ambassador Collins, Mr. Cosgrove, Georgia
Jones, and Marie Collins, wife of the envoy. Ms. Jones played a key role in orga-
nizing the Cosgrove Collection which the honored guest contributed to the Pittston
Area Memorial Library in 2009.

icans. (There, too, is Hillary
Clinton who is also deeply con-
nected to Ireland). So, some
things havent changed through
time!
Ambassador Collins conclud-
ed his remarks with, I would
like to thank John for these won-
derful gifts which record in such
a special way the historic con-
nection between Ireland and the
U.S. John is a man of many won-
derful experiences and stories.
He has had a distinguished ca-
reer in journalism and was also
President of the National Press
Club here in Washington DC. He
had the unique distinction of
having his inaugural dinner as
Club President attended by the
President of the United States
himself, President Kennedy. He
has thus had the distinction over
many years of meeting and
knowing some of the greats in
this city and beyond.
Saying that he always wanted
to ensure that Johns story was
told, Ambassador Collins an-
nounced that Ralph Day and
Keith Kearney of the AOH ar-
ranged to interview him to en-
sure that it is recorded for post-
erity. The videoof Cosgroves re-
marks can be seen at http://vi-

The enthusiasmof Pittston natives and current residents for John P. Cosgrove's commitment to Washington causes as well as to his hometown library drew accolades at
the reception at the Residence of the Irish Ambassador. Fromleft, Frank Bohan, a Carroll St., Pittston, resident until his family moved to Washington; Helen Bohan; Mary
Kay Ackerman; Ed Ackerman, Sunday Dispatch editor; Fred Rotondaro, PhD, Pittston native, former University of Scranton professor, former Executive Director of the

hat does it take to be a
leader? According to
the Boy Scouts of
America A leader is someone
who has good character, is able
to take on responsibility, and has
maintained good citizenship in
his/her community.
Chris Gunshore is a member
of Troop 316 and has been in-
volved with Boy Scouts since he
was 6-years old. He is only 16,
but he has demonstrated acts of
leadership which make himwise
beyond his years.
Last Saturday Gunshore held a
Public Safety Event at the old St.
Marys School in Avoca. The
event was an Eagle Scout project
that Gunshore worked on for
months to help show children
and their parents the importance
of maintainingsafetyinthe com-
munity. Police officers and fire
fighters demonstrated some of
the duties they perform on a dai-
ly basis.
Officer Jerry Van Hoorn of
Avoca demonstratedhownarcot-
ics dogs are used to help locate
illegal substances. His dog Bard,
a trained German Shepherd with
the force, sniffed several secured
cases until he found the sub-
stance he was looking for. Once
Bard got the scent he let out a
huge howl to let Officer Van
Hoorn know where the drugs
were located.
When Van Hoorn was asked
how Bard was trained he said,
Once the dog finds the sub-
stance theyre looking for theyre
awarded a treat.
Officer Van Hoorn has been a
drug enforcement officer for a
number of years and has trained
his dog Bard for nine years. Bard
has helped prevent numerous
drug crimes all over Luzerne and
Lackawanna counties. We al-
ways enjoy working with the
public and this is a great way to
show others that we as law en-
forcement officials are here to
serve, Van Hoorn said.

held on how to take down a sus-
pect. Deputy Donald Lasoski of

Department dressed from head
to toe in protective gear and
worked with officer Vanhorn to
put together a simulation on how
this is performed.
Halt your under arrest,
yelled Van Hoorn. When Lasos-
ki refused to cooperate Van-
hoorn yelled to his k-9 partner
Bard to get him. Once that
phrase was yelled, the trained
dog bit at Lasoski until he was
brought to the ground.
When Lasoski was asked how
it felt being on the other side he
said, Lets just say Im happy
Im on the right team.
The Avoca Fire Department
was also on site to explain the
features of their fire and rescue
trucks and the Pittston Fire De-
partment was on site with their
smoke trailer. The smoke trailer
is an activity which teaches chil-
dren how to escape in the event
of a real house fire.
Inside the building the Lu-
zerne County Sheriffs Depart-
ment was there to produce I.D.
cards for the kids and a refresh-
ment table was available along
with poster boards to teach them
information in case of an emer-
gency.
Gunshore, himself, wants to
serve his community one day by
becoming a state police officer.
Scouts have shown me a lot of
leadership and it makes me more
confident as a person, he said.
Gunshore, like all Boy Scouts,
had to go through the ranks. Matt
Fino of Avoca has been Gun-
shores troop leader since he was
ten years old.
Fino said, When I first met
Chris, he was afraid of his own
shadow.
According to Fino, Gunshore
has developed social skills
which make him stand out
among the rest. When the troop
went on a camping retreat to earn
their merit badges Chris was the
senior leader of the group. Fino
said, When others were being
lazy Chris was always the one to
push others to get the job done.
Along with Gunshores lead-
ership comes modesty. Even
though I was the leader of our
troop its always a group effort,
he said.
Once Gunshore completes his
Eagle Scout he will have the op-
portunity to enter what is known
as the Venture Crew which is a
crew for Eagle Scout members
to help other Boy Scouts learn
how to serve in the community
and howto be an effective leader.
I am so proud of Chris and I
have no doubt he will take what
hes learned and help others in
real life situations, said Fino.
When Gunshore was asked if
he would continue in the Venture
Crew he said that he probably
would. We are a growing family
and I hope I can help others as
much as they have helped me,
he said.
Gunshore needs to complete
two more merit badges before
achieving the rank of Eagle
Scout. He hopes to be completed
with his badges in the next cou-
ple of months.

On behalf of
numerous re-
quests from
loving friends
and cherished
family and cus-
tomers, Ive
been asked to
develop my
tribute to Sammy Goldstein a
little differently this year. This is
my 18th memorial to my late fa-
ther, Samuel Goldstein of Du-
ryea. Dad, I want tothankyoufor
all your support I have received
throughout my life, you have
taught me how important it is to
work hard, to never allowanyone
to compromise our integrity.
Sammy, you have always been
a great example to always treat
everyone with care and respect. I
recall you holding multiple jobs,
day and night, helping support
your family after Grandpa Isaac
died, but Sammy, you always
found time to be an encouraging,
righteous friend.
My father was intellectually
curious and a master of self-im-
provement. Any person who met
my Dad can vouch for his infec-
tious smile, keensense of humor,
and his life-long motto: No re-
grets, Ive lived my life in bal-
ance, to the fullest and success-
fully can challenge overwhelm-
ing fears.
Behind every man stand a
good woman. Alongside Samuel
Goldstein stands a beautiful, in-
telligent, generous and righteous
woman, my mother, Lillian
Goldstein. Any relative, friend,
acquaintance in need of good
cooking, baking, friendly advice
or just someone to speak to, its
Lillian you need to call. My sib-
lings, their families and I are tru-
ly blessed to be the offspring of
Sam and Lil.
Samuel always reached into
his grab-bag of trinkets and toys,
spreading joy to anyone far and
near. Many never left our home
empty handed, delicious fruits
and vegetables from Dads in-
spiring garden; bouquets of his
award winning roses and most
importantly a tremendous feel-
ing of self-fulfillment.
My Dad remained a religious
man as well, seeking a truth be-
yond ourselves, yet balancing it
with a strong community en-
gagement.
Samuel and Lillian shared
many happy decades together.
My folks ran a business, alone,
they raised four children, the
community; therefore their good
name is known all around.
I observe optimistic traits and
personalities of my folks in their
11grandchildren, 12 great grand-
children, my three siblings and
me. Thanks Dad, for motivating
me to be the very spectacular
daughter that I pray to be.

minded people, Hindmarsh
said.
Also on Monday, the council
announced that a state gaming
funds grant applied for by Du-
pont in conjunction with Hugh-
estown and four other area mu-
nicipalities was approved.
Roughly $461,000 in funding
will be provided toward the
purchase of machinery that will
convert yard waste into com-
post.
The residential yard waste
from Hughestown, Dupont, Du-
ryea, Laflin, Jenkins Township
and Pittston will be taken to the
new localized center and resi-
dents will be able to obtain the
compost for free.
The terms of the grant do not
require Hughestown to pay any-
thing toward the construction or
purchase of the machinery.
The borough currently hauls
its yard debris to a facility in
Dickson City.
The 60-mile round trip is
made roughly three times each
Wednesday for several months
each year.
Council President Wayne
Quick Jr. estimated that the
new yard waste recycling cen-
ter will be in operation some-
time during the summer of
2012.
Also on Monday, Griffith
Street resident Michael Bow-
man complained that open sew-
age has recently begun showing
up on his yard after rainstorms.
Bowman had heard that there
were storm water problems in
the area but he said he was
surprised to see the sewage. He
said he suspected it was com-
ing from his neighbors yard
but doubted that she was aware
of any problems with any of
her subterranean piping.
Hindmarsh acknowledged
there were some storm water
drainages in that area of the
borough that might have been
caused by the Kappa Graphics
plant, but he said he was com-
pletely unaware of any sewage
issues.
Borough officials promised
to have someone at Bowmans
home this morning to address
the issue.
Picnic in the Park
The Picnic in the Park com-
mittee meeting was held with
Carmen Ambrosino presiding.
Chief Golya, Councilman
Wayne Quick, Eddie Strubeck,

Quick, Sharon Newman, and
Fire Chief Jamie Merlino were
in attendance.
Mary Golya and Mary Ann
Quick will help distribute flyers
for the event. Girl Scout Troop
will be contact to see if they
can help.
Volunteers are needed to help
on that day. Hughestown Lions
Club members and Hughes-
town Hose Company members
will assist.
Anyone wishing to donate
baked goods or food may do
so. The next meeting will be
held on Tuesday, June 28, at 7
p.m.

Pastor Bob Mitchell, of Saint
Peters Lutheran Church in
Hughestown, shared his profes-
sional singing ability with the
community last Sunday after-
noon with a concert featuring a
variety of secular and sacred
works including German and
Italian art songs, showtunes, and
gospel songs. Pastor Bob chose
the name Musical Primavera
for the performance. Primave-
ra means Spring in Italian,
and the programwas held during
the last full week of spring.
Pastor Bob, who has served
Saint Peters since November of
2009, has occasionally sung so-
los at church services. However,
these have only been small
glimpses of his noteworthy tal-
ent. Long before Pastor Bob was
ordained, he sang some 40 opera
roles in a 30-year career. Pastor
Bob is the author of Opera Inside
Out and is in the process of writ-
ing a memoir about his singing
experiences.
Pastor Bob holds a B.S. degree
inVoice andOpera fromMannes
College of Music in New York
City, as well as a Master of Di-
vinity degree from New Brun-
swick Theological Seminary.
Pastor Bob was accompanied
on piano and organ by Saint Pe-
ters music director, Michael So-
wa.
The performance concluded
with a sing-along of popular
tunes and hymns. A free-will of-
fering was collected to help raise
funds for Saint Peters Lutheran
Church, and a reception fol-
lowed the performance.

On Wednesday, at Atlas field,
the power-hitting GP Legion
teamshowedthat theydont need
to hit the ball out of the park to
win.
Greater Pittston won its 5th
game of the year against Moun-
tain Post, 3 to 2, and most of it
was due to the great outing by
pitcher Anthony Bellino.
Belino went 6 and 2/3 innings,
giving up 9 hits, 1 walk, and 1
earned run. He struck out 5.
Greater Pittston scored in the
first inning when Chris Murphy
hit a line drive into the gap at
center to score Ryan Casey. In
the third inning, greater Pittston
got their second run when the
catcher of Mountain Post tried to
pick off Randy McDermott
stealing second. He succeeded;
however, Murphy was on third
and stole home, advancing on
the throw.
Murphy had one of his best
games going 2 for 3 with an RBI,
a run scored, and a stolen base.
He even helped out on defense
bygettingthe final out as a pitch-
er.
I just felt confident coming
into the game, said Murphy. I
wanted to do whatever I could to
help.
In the fourth inning, a Moun-
tain Post throwing error put Da-
vid Drahus on base. He scored
the game winning run when
Casey hit an RBI single with two
outs.
Bellino gave up one earned
run in the fifth then ran into
some trouble in the sixth. He
gave up two hits and found him-
self with a man on first and a
man on third with two outs. All
of a sudden catcher Kody Now-
icki threwa bullet to third base to
tag out a leaning Mountain Post
player.
I told Ryan (third baseman) if
he is jumping down the line Im
coming second pitch, said
Nowicki. So I gave himthe nod
and he gave me a nod and I just
went after him.
Bellino returned to pitch the
seventh inning and attempt a
complete game. After getting
two outs, a throwing error scored
an unearned run. With one out
left, Coach Sobeski came out
and had Murphy relieve Bellino.
Murphy then recorded the last
out of the game and sealed the
win for Greater Pittston.
Every pitcher wants the ball
but Murphy is a great closer and
no one deserves it more, said
Bellino about leaving the game
early. It was hot and I was feel-
ing it. I was definitely fatigued.
With a solid outing by Bellino
and timely hitting, Greater Pitt-
ston remains undefeated and
Coach Sobeski is happy about it.
Its nice. The team is playing
well and we have a great amount
of teamwork, said Sobeski. It
is great when you have so many
players who can play multiple
positions.
GP played Northwest yester-
day, too late for our deadline.

The Plains American Legion
team used a three-run first and a
four-run third inning and a solid
six-inning pitching performance
by Bobby Sorokas to power past
Old Forge Post 513 9-2 at Hill-
dale baseball Complex Monday
afternoon.
Post 513 stranded eight run-
ners on the base paths, failing to
connect on that key hit to jump
start their already stalled of-
fense.
In home half of the first Jordan
Bone and Jim Graziosi reached
on back-to-back singles to start
ta Plains rally. After a groundout
by Josh Savakinas and a walk to
Anthony Grillini, Joe Parsnik
cleared the bases with a three-
run RBI double to center giving
Plains and early 3-0 advantage.
In the top half of the secon, af-
ter back-to-back strikeouts by
Sorokas to start the inning, Billy
Preston drewa walk and Pittston
Areas Tyler Loftus launched a
double to left for OF. Both run-
ners were stranded as Sorokas
managed to retire the final batter
via the strikeout toendthe threat.
OF scored in the third. AJ
Phillips led off the third with a
sharp single to left. After a sacri-
fice bunt by Michael Long, BJ
Bocchichio launched an RBI
double to right chasing Phillips
home. However Sorokas in-
duced a pop fly and a strikeout to
end Post 513s threat.
Clinging to a 3-1 lead entering
the third, Plains put the game out
of reach helped by shaky infield
defense. Graziosi led off with a
single to left followed by Savaki-
nas and Grillini who both reac-
hed on infield errors. Parsnik
then hit a sacrifice fly to right
scoring Graziosi from third. So-
rokas reached on another infield
error. After a strikeout and a
walk to DomGulius, Dylan Can-
cini hit a two-run RBI double to
left for a 7-1 Plains lead.
Post 513 scored a run in the
fourth. Preston reached on a
HBP went to third on a single by
Loftus, and scored on a Chuck
Bressler fielders choice groun-
der to make it 7-2.
Plains added two more runs in
the fourth on a Grillini RBI sin-
gle to left and an RBI groundout
by Sorokas, ultimately putting
the game out of reach for Post
513. Sorokas and James Castelli-
no combined to shut down the
Old Forge bats for the win.
BJ Bocchichio carried Old
Forge with three hits and an RBI.
Tyler Loftus chipped in with two
hits.
Chuck Bressler took the loss
allowing seven hits while fan-
ning three in four innings of
work. Ian Nementz went two in-
nings in relief while issuing only
one hit while strikeout out three.
For Plains, Bone and Graziosi
chipped in with two hits and two
runs scored each. Parsnik drilled
in four RBI.
Sorokas got the win scattering
seven hits while strikeout out
seven.

The Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees have been having trouble
drawing attendance this season.
Its easy to see why, though, right? The Yankees just trade all of
their prospects away so there arent any players worth seeing. The
teamisnt really that good. The players there are stuck at the Triple-A
level because the Yankees are filled with All-Stars blocking their
path to the Bigs.
Wrong!
All of those are common misconceptions about the Yankees minor
league teams and they couldnt be any more false.
Part of the reason why so many people believe these things is that
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees get no publicity to even let the
fans know what theyre missing. And I can tell you that theyre mis-
sing a lot.
For starters, the SWBYankees have a diamondinthe ruff withtheir
first baseman Jorge Vazquez. He is currently leading the Internation-
al League with 20 homeruns. Hes the type of hitter you pitch around
with the bases loaded.
What makes Vazquez most valuable is that he can play both corner
positions which may make him a nice fill-in in the Bronx until the
current backup corner infielder for New York, Eric Chavez, gets
healthy.
Vazquez isnt your prototypical power hitter either. His minor
league career started in 2005 and he has hit no lower than a .323
batting average in every season except one (.284 in 2010). Unfortu-
nately, not many people know that Vazquez exists. I dont think the
Yankees even know they have him. Once they figure it out, though,
hell be a nice call up off the bench and perfect, in my eyes, for the
designated hitting role.
Another player in SWB that really interests me is Kevin Whelan.
Hes definitely the best armout of their bullpen right now. He has the
stuff to go far in the major leagues. When hes throwing strikes, hes
extremely difficult to hit but thats his biggest problem: throwing
strikes.
Thats all anyone talks about but what people dont see is that he is a
pitcher by accident. Whelan was a catcher until his final years of
college when he decided to joke around and pitch during practice.
The ability he has is no joke, though.
He only has about 300 innings under his belt which is like three
years as a reliever or two as a starter so he is still young in terms of
pitching. Consideringthose stats, howcanyounot expect himtohave
some control problems?
Eventually Whelan is going to figure those issues out and become
a dominant reliever. Hes already shown he can do it this year for
SWB pitching to an ERA under 2.00 with 18 saves. He was already
called up once this year and walked 5 guys in1.2 innings but that was
also his Major League debut in front of thousands of people.
Withthe NewYorkYankees bullpenstruggles, I cansee Whelanup
with them again this season and filling a very big void in the pen.
Vazquez and Whelan are only two players on a roster full of poten-
tial, so its well worth going out for a game to check them out in
person because the next time you see them might be on the YES
Network.
Tommy Romanelli is a Wyoming Area grad and former Warrior
baseball player. Going into his sophomore year as a journalismma-
jor at Luzerne County Community College, he writes for pinstripes-
plus.com and their printed magazine and has an article on Kevin
Whelan in the July issue. His thoughts on the SWB Yankees will ap-
pear in the Dispatch throughout the season.

Dear God,
We are taught to believe that
You are all forgiving. So forgive
me, Father, for I am a sinner.
And I am sure I will continue
to be a sinner. Especially since
you took the man I feared the
most on this planet away from
me last Sunday.
As I am sure you know, God,
Dad was a larger than life figure,
not only at Old Forge High
School and in the community,
but at home as well. My fear of
himwasnt physical fear, it was a
fear of disappointing the man I
loved and respected more than
anyone else I have come across
in your world.
But as this week has worn on,
God, I have come to the conclu-
sion that Dad sensed I was ready
to make him proud. That I had
grown to be a man that could
take care of my Mom - his high
school sweetheart and best
friend; to take care of his yard
only you know how much he
loved it; and our pool a pool I
have damned for the past month
because impatient Dad absolute-
ly needed that pool to be open
and ready by mid May.
(God, tell Dadthe pool is open,
and is only few days from being
ready.)
God I am sure you have been
paying attention to Dad - the Big
Blue Devil to most for most of
his life, but if you havent paid
attention to his legacy since his
passing through your pearly
gates, let me give you the run
down.
The legacy Dad left to our tiny
borough, school and corner of
Pennsylvania was demonstrated
on Wednesday night when his
wake attracted more than 1,000
family, friends, co-workers, stu-
dents, former students and even
rivals to Ferris Funeral Home in
Old Forge to pay their last re-
spects.
Im not exaggerating either.
My sister-in-law Jen stopped
counting the names in the regis-
try book after she hit 1,000. And
that number doesnt include the
numerous calls, texts and emails
from people wishing to tell us
how great a guy Dad was.
God, I obviously dont need to
tell you about the impact Dad
made on the Old Forge educa-
tional and athletic communities.
You obviously already know or
you wouldnt have taken him
from us so soon.
You see, God, I was also taught
to not ask, Why? when some-
one special is taken. And I
havent asked, Why? because I
knowwhy you took himfromus.
Not only did you need him
more than we do as evidenced
by the fact it took him less than
24 hours to renew the Pitt-Penn
State football rivalry as Heavens
new athletic director - but I also
knowhe deserved to be with You
in Heaven.
Yes, he deserves to be with
You.
Did we deserve to lose him? I
dont believe so. But life isnt
fair, and is not supposed to be
about self. Dad taught me both
those things.
Manyhave toldus that Daddid
not deserve such a fate to die at
the age of 64 after spending most
of the last 40 years on this planet
educating the youth of Old Forge
as a math teacher, high school
coach, club advisor, and Little
League coach. He was supposed
to now enjoy his life after work-
ing to provide for his family for
most of it. He was supposed to
play golf three times a week,
travel the world with Mom, sit in
the stands supporting the Blue
Devils, andspendeveryFridayat
the local Coaches Corner
voicing his overstated opinions.
But I know better than that. I
knowsome of the reasons he de-
serves to be with you, God.
First, Dad was the least sinful
person I know. He was loving,
supporting, loyal and treated
others howhe wished to be treat-
ed. We used to joke that he liked
everyone and he really did.
Well except Tiger Woods. But
that was only because Woods
was not loyal tohis wife andchil-
dren as a husband and a father.
Something Dad absolutely was.
Was Dad the perfect man? I
amsure he wasnt. No one is. But
I am sure that he was as close as
he possibly could be.
Secondly, Dads devotion to
his family, his calling and to you,
God, led himout of Hell and into
Heaven. Yes Dad was in Hell.
(We call it Earth.) For only an
imperfect environment could
lead to the downfall of a close-
to-perfect person. And that is
what this Earth did to my father.
Lets face it, God, your teach-
ings of Heaven and Hell should
really be about teachings of
Heaven and Earth, for I have
come to believe that we those
of us not with you in Heaven
live in Hell.
Where other than Hell could a
life like my fathers be cut short
by a disease like cancer a dis-
ease only Hell could spawn?
Where other than Hell could
mymother nowhave tolive with-
out the person she did EVERY-
THING with - the man who was
the ONLY love of her life, and
her best best friend?
Where other than Hell could
three grown men turn into three
weeping little boys as they saw
their idol androle model reduced
to a shell of the larger than life
figure that they loved, respected
and wanted to please more than
no other?
And where other than Hell
could the enjoyment of Dads
first grandchild be taken away
from him when he would have
provided more love than any
grandparent could give?
God, I hope I amnot preaching
too much, but lets face it, I am
my fathers child. And if he
wasnt preaching, teaching,
coaching, embellishing, loving,
learning, supporting or just plain
talking, then he was usually
sleeping.
On that note, God, let me con-
clude.
I will need your help during
the rest of my life, because more
than anything, Dad was not only
my friend, but my advisor, my
teacher, my coach, my sounding
board, my discussion partner, my
arguingpartner, andmost impor-
tantly my father.
Life will not be easy without
him, but I know he is in a better
place and is smiling down on us,
dreaming about the day when
you deemthat we deserve to join
him.
So, God, please give Dad this
message for me.
Tell Dad I love himand always
have and always will. Tell him I
miss him. Tell him I will make
him proud during my remaining
days in Hell.
Oh, and God, tell himto let me
sleep in on this Fathers Day, be-
cause I want to dream about him
for as long as I can.
Happy Fathers Day, Dad. I
love you.

Once again the notion of
Sunday hunting is being dis-
cussed across the state. The
restrictions for hunting on
Sunday are among the last
survivors of the old Blue
Laws.
Most blue laws were
changed over the years. I re-
member when I was young,
many moons ago, shopping
was a no-no on Sunday. The
malls were closed and so
were the grocery stores.
What we didnt get done on
Saturday didnt get accom-
plished until Monday. It was
fine back then but it had to
change and it did.
Nowthe grocerystores are
super busy on Sunday morn-
ing and you can now buy li-
quor and beer as well. The
movie theaters are packed
and sports bars are crowded
with people yelling and
screaming at sporting events
on television. The bars we-
rent allowed to open on
Sunday back in the day. You
can fire up the boat motor
and go fishing and on the
way to your honey-hole, you
can stop at one of a hundred
convenient stores to buy
food for the coolers. The no-
tion that Sunday is a day of
rest went out the window
when people started work-
ing six days a week to make
ends meet. When were these
hard working Americans
supposed to get the shop-
ping done as well as the
chores around the house? It
had to be Sunday.
I find the idea that this is
once again up for discussion
pretty ridiculous. It should
have been decided long be-
fore it became okay to head
to a Pennsylvania State li-
censed casino instead of
Church on Sunday morning.
If you dont believe that peo-
ple are gambling on Sunday
mornings, drive past the
Mohegan Sun and look at
the parking lot. Most
churches would pray to be
this well attended. Local
soccer and baseball fields
are always filled on Sunday
and so are video arcades and
amusement parks. It seems
like youre allowed to do just
about everything but hunt.
The main reason for this
discussion is that the House
Game and Fisheries Com-
mittee held the first of three
public hearings earlier this
month. These hearings are
designed to hear both sides
of the argument regarding
Sunday hunting. They will
then decide what to do about
proposed legislation to
change the blue law. It is
however, important to re-
member that even if the law
is changed, it still doesnt
mean were hunting on Sun-
day. All it does is give the
power back to the Pennsyl-
vania Game Commission
and it will be up to them to
make the final decision.
They have yet to take a stand
on either side. The other two
hearings have yet to be
scheduled. I will let you
know if any of them are in
our area.
Some of you may be won-
dering who is opposed to the
change. The opposition to
the proposed change includ-
ed the Pennsylvania Farm
Bureau and the Humane So-
ciety of the United States. It
is my opinion that the Hu-
mane Society shouldnt be
allowed to voice their opin-
ion at all. They are against
hunting in general. But the
farmers are a different story.
Members of the PA Farm
Bureau believe that six days
a week for hunting is
enough. They also contend
that their members (farm-
ers) dont want to be both-
ered on their religious day of
rest. The committee also
heard testimony about tres-
passing, economic advan-
tages and disadvantages as
well as public opinion sur-
veys. Both sides shot holes
at the others numbers.
I hunt on Sunday in New
York. I buy gas in NewYork,
I buy food and beer in New
York and I enjoy hunting on
Sunday in New York. I
would however stay home
and hunt here in Pennsylva-
nia if the laws change. I
dont expect this article to
change your opinion if you
are strongly against Sunday
hunting. I just want you to
see it through my eyes be-
fore you slam me for my
opinions. I believe that a
change in the laws would
make it easier to keep kids
involved by allowing them
another day in the field with
their parent or hunting men-
tor. Theyhave a lot pullingat
their spare time and the
more opportunity we can
give them to hunt the better.
If you would like to voice
your opinion either way be
sure to let you legislators
know where you stand on
Sunday hunting before they
vote yes or no.

In an effort to Go Green,
the HRS Student Council mem-
bers have been collecting drink
pouches and chip bags and
sending them to TerraCycle.
Terra Cycle is a company
whose purpose is to eliminate
waste by creating national recy-
cling systems for previously
non-recyclable items. Two of
those items drink pouches
and chip bags were collected
from the students by the Stu-
dent Council.
The Student Council, under
the direction of moderator Mrs.
Lisa Casey, then sent the items
to TerraCycle. In return, Holy
Rosary receives two cents per
item. Last year, 777 drink
pouches and 581 chip bags
were sent to TerraCycle. This
year, we have already exceeded
those numbers and next year we
are hoping to send even more!
Thanks to our Student Council
for helping to reduce waste and
for making us conscious of our
responsibility to Gods planet.
The student council members
also collect drink tabs which
are donated to the Ronald
McDonald House of Scranton.
We are proud to say that we
have been helping the Ronald
McDonald House for six years.
