Save for a brief stint when I
first started teaching in college
in 1990, I have been writing Ed
Ackerman, optimist contin-
uously since 1984.
During that span I cannot tell
you how many times someone
has told me an interesting story
and then quickly added: and I
dont want to see that in your
column.
My response has always been
the same: hey, I have to write
52 of those things a year, any-
thing is fair game.
I never really meant that and
always honored requests to
keep something out of print.
But its awfully nice when
someone gives me something I
can run with. Like this little
email from Judy Bell:
I have a memory that Im not
sure you have covered in your
columns.
I grew up on Center Street
between Lussis and Bartolis
(thats how I always gave peo-
ple directions to my house) and
each day in the summer my
girlfriends and I would walk to
the Pittston Pool and each day
we had to be home by 5:00 p.m.
for supper.
We were tired and hungry
from swimming all afternoon
and even more tired, hungry
and hot from walking up
Church Street, but in the days
before air conditioning and
eating out, we could smell din-
ner cooking at almost every
house we passed.
The food must have smelled
so good because thinking about
it still makes me smile.
I have to point out that the
Lussis and Bartolis Judy refers
to were neighborhood bars,
both of which served excellent
food. Bartolis was the site of
many events such as bridal
showers and baptismal break-
fasts, and at one time Lussis
served a complete lobster tail
dinner for $1.99. Lussis was
also the place where I had my
first beer, a glass of Schaefer
for ten cents.
Interesting that Judy should
bring up the Pittston Pool be-
cause just a couple of weeks
ago I returned home from
working out at the gym and got
out of my car with a towel over
my shoulder. When I did, my
neighbor yelled, You look like
youre coming home from the
Pittston Pool.
I knew what he meant. In the
years following the opening of
the pool in 1964, kids walking
through town with towels over
their shoulders were a common
site.
Id have to say the opening of
the Pittston Pool was one of the
most significant events of my
teenage years. For one thing, it
forced me to learn to swim.
My dad was an excellent
swimmer. He loved telling the
story of how he learned. When
he was perhaps five years old,
maybe a bit less, his older
brothers, upset at having to
babysit him when they wanted
to go swimming, took him
down to the Lehigh River and
threw him in. If it looked like I
was going to drown, hed say,
they would fish me out, let me
cry for a few minutes, and then
throw me in again. Eventually I
started to doggie paddle around
and then they knew they didnt
have to worry about me any
more.
Dad would take us to Har-
veys Lake, and try to teach us
to swim by supporting us with
his palm placed on our stomach
as we paddled and kicked. Usu-
ally, when hed remove his
hand, wed sink like a rock and
get mad at him. We thought he
should support us like that all
day long.
But knowing Pittston was
going to build a pool, I went to
Harveys Lake the previous
summer and basically taught
myself to swim. Up to then, I
had been missing the most
important ingredient in the
learning process: motivation. I
wasnt about to show up at the
new pool unable to swim.
Throughout high school the
Pittston Pool was our second
home. Wed hang out there
thinking we were in a Frankie
Avalon/Annette Funicello
beach movie. The pool was
where I first heard the famous
Rolling Stones song (I cant
get no) Satisfaction and the
song I Get Around by The
Beach Boys.
One of the life guards at the
pool was a guy named Bobby
Ochreiter and I remember my
friend Tony Alu (who grew up
to be a performer, perhaps best
known as a singer with the
band The Cadillacs) singing the
name Bobby Ochreiter to the
tune of The Beatles song Pa-
perback Writer. If you know
Alu, ask him to do it. Im sure
he still can.
Looking back, these memo-
ries seem so simple. Thats
because they are. Dont believe
all the hype about The Six-
ties. Around here at least, it
was a simple time when kids
walked along city streets in
bathing suits on their way to a
day of swimming, and, as Judy
Bell points out, walked home
later to a hot meal usually eaten
around the kitchen table with
Mom, Dad, and the whole fam-
ily. How lucky we were.

lop. Fold. Pinch. Repeat.
Its not an easy job, but for
the members of the pierogi as-
sembly line at Sacred Heart Church in
Dupont, its done with pure love.
Its our parish and we put our
hearts and souls into this, said Mar-
ianne Kocylowski, of Bear Creek,
part of the crew getting ready for
churchs annual bazaar last week.
We talk about old times, the things
we did as kids. Its enjoyable. We have
fun.
Hours and hours of work are put in
to making 33,000 delicious Polish
treats.
From peeling potatoes and grating
cheese to kneading and rolling the
dough. Then theres the stuffing and
pinching and boiling and cooling and

packing and storing.
The process begins the night
before when parishioners peel
the potatoes.
The next morning, the pota-
toes are boiled then mashed with
cheese (15 pounds of potatoes
get about four
pounds of
cheese), cooled
and scooped
into small
balls.
Another as-
sembly line has
the dough ma-
chine kneading
balls of dough,
which is fed in-
to a mechaniz-
ed roller. The
sheets of dough
are laid flat and
a group of vol-
unteers, using
round cookie
cutters, makes
the discs. (Over
a ton of flour
and 21,600
eggs goes throughthe doughma-
chine.)
The dough rounds are placed
ona cookie sheet andtakentothe
pinchers tables.
The ball of filling goes in the
middle of a dough circle and the
women fold them into half
moons.
Then they pinch. And pinch.
And pinch.
Mildred Mlodzienski, of Du-
pont, said theres really no secret
to proper pierogi pinching; you
just learn over time.
After 50 years, I know what
Im doing, she said. Its all in
the fingers. Its like one smooth
pinching motion.
Kocylowski, a lifetime mem-
ber of Sacred Heart, said you
have to make sure the pierogi is
completely sealed.
If theres a hole in the dough,
it will come apart when theyre
boiling, she said. We have to
make sure theyre closed real
good.
After a tray is full, it is taken
into the kitchen where each pie-
rogi is submergedina vat of boil-
ing water. (Fourteen massive
cauldrons of boiling water make
for a very hot kitchen, by the
way.)
When they float, theyre
done, Lacomis said.
Theyre then put in a cold wa-
ter bath: a pretty complex system
with a pump and many large
blocks of ice.
Joe Lacomis, of Suscon, Pitt-
ston Township, food chairman
for the bazaar, said volunteers
will make 22,000 potato, 5,500
cheese and 5,500 cabbage piero-
gi.
By far, the potato ones are the
most popular, he said.
At the bazaar, they sell for 75
cents each or 3 for $2.
We never raised the price on
them, Lacomis said.
Frank Skrzysowski, of Du-
pont, was coring cabbages
with a drill.
You take out the core and its
easier for the women to make
piggies. The cabbage just falls
off.
Lacomis got emotional when
he looked across the hall and saw
all the volunteers hard at work.
He said there were over 100 vol-
unteers, including more than 40
volunteer pinchers.
Were a family here, he said.
Sacred Heart Church is a fam-
ily. I get a little emotional when
all these people show up to help
out. Its just amazing.

The next chapter is nearly
written.
With the help of a $761,000
federal loan, the Pittston Memo-
rial Library will break ground in
September on a $1.5 million ex-
pansion.
U.S. Senator Bob Casey, an-
nounced Tuesday that the library
will receive a 40-year loan of
$761,900 and $105,600 grant.
Barbara Quinn, president of li-
brarys board of trustees, said the
money couldnt have come at a
better time.
Were bursting at the seams,
she said. We have no more
room.
Quinn said the 5,000-square-
foot addition will contain a state-
of-the-art conference room with
Smartboards and WiFi capabili-
ty, a larger childrens section, an
arts and crafts room, teen space,
a senior citizen area, a kitche-
nette, a vestibule, a coat room
and additional rest rooms. A
playground is planned for be-
hind the building adjacent to the
new childrens wing.
Well finally be able to break
ground, Quinn said. Were re-
ally going to push fundraising
once we have the ground break-
ing.
Quinn said the exact date of
the ceremony hasnt been deter-
mined yet.
The $105,000 grant will be
used to renovate the current li-
brary.
Casey applauded the expan-
sion.
Pittstons library expansion
will greatly benefit the commu-
nity, better enabling our children
to enjoy the many educational
opportunities the library has to
offer and creating a newcommu-
nity meeting space, Casey said.
The loan and grant were made
available through the U.S. De-
partment of Agricultures rural
development program, Casey
said.
The expansion is part of the li-
brarys Cosgrove Capital Cam-
paign.
John P. Cosgrove, a Pittston
native, spent 70 years working in
the media in Washington, D.C.
He donated his personal library,
including thousands of volumes,
correspondence and memorabi-
lia, tohis hometownlibrarythree
years ago. When the Pittston li-
brary suggested it expand in part
to display the collection, Cos-
grove donated $50,000 to get the
project started.
The collection, along with the
donation, prompted the library
trustees to name the proposed
project the Cosgrove Annex and
to undertake a major capital
campaign to pay for it.
Former state Rep. Tom Tigue,
honorary co-chairman of the
project, said the funding is a
huge step for the library.
He said three major fund rais-
ers are planned in the next sever-
al months.
An entertainment/sports
memorabilia raffle will be set up
at the Tomato Festival.
ATaste of Greater Pittston
will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. on
Sept. 23 on the grounds of the
Pittston Memorial Library, 47
Broad St., Pittston. The event
will feature tastings of home-
made wine and the Greater Pitt-
stons Choice award will be pre-
sented to the winemakers voted
as presenting the best red and the
best white wines. The event will
also feature sumptuous samples
of appetizers, entrees and des-
serts presented by area restau-
rants.
Pittstons own Sean Klush
will bring his Elvis Presley act to
the Kirby Center in Wilkes-
Barre on Saturday, Nov. 24.
Tickets will be available at the li-
brary and through Ticketmaster.
Tigue, who shares chairman-
ship of the expansion project
withPat Solano, saidthe citywill
also apply for state gaming funds
in December.
Quinn applauded U.S. Sen.
Bob Casey, state Rep. Mike Car-
roll andstate Sen. JohnYudichak
for helping obtain public funds.
This addition will be a God-
send, Quinn said. Any help
from Harrisburg or Washington
is greatly appreciated.

PERSONAL ATTENTION THAT GETS RESULTS
The deteriorating railroad
bridge spanning the Susquehan-
na River in Exeter Township is a
danger and needs to be demol-
ished, a county official said.
Luzerne County Flood Protec-
tion Authority
Executive Di-
rector Jim Bro-
zena said if the
bridge collaps-
es, it could cre-
ate a dam on
the river and
cause major
flooding. The
last time the
tracks were
used by trains
was in the
1980s.
Two of the
piers are in ve-
ry bad condi-
tion and we feel
theres the po-
tential for fail-
ure during a
high-water
event, Broze-
na said. Im
suggesting to the authority that
thing come down. He said a
high-water event is any time the
Susquehanna exceeds 22 feet.
The Lehigh Valley/Coxton
Railroad Bridge is owned by Leo
Glodzik, of LAG Towing in Du-
ryea.
Glodzik bought the structure
for $500 in 2008 from the Lu-
zerne County Redevelopment
Authority. He could not be reac-
hed for comment, but told The
Times Leader he is negotiating a
deal to sell the bridge to a scrap
company.
Ive had engineers inspect the
bridge; its not going to fall,
Glodzik said. That bridge will
be there a hundred years from
now.
Brozena said he headed at
least two bridge demolition pro-
jects and such an undertaking
would cost at least $500,000. A
causeway would have to be con-
structed across half of the river
and half the bridge could safely
be demolished. Same for the oth-
er side.
Im not sure hed get that
much for the scrape metal and
stone, Brozena said, adding that
one avenue toward demolition of
the bridge would be to have the
municipality declare the struc-
ture condemned.
In the back of my mind, its
like were looking at a bad
house, Brozena said. It may
fall to Exeter Township to con-
demn it. Right now, its for the
lawyers to figure out.
Brozena and Andy Reilly, the
countys community develop-
ment director and acting director
of the Redevelopment Authority,
said some of the $15.7 million in
flood relief the county received
through the Community Devel-
opment Block Grant Disaster
Relief Program could be used to
remove the bridge, according to
a story in The Times Leader. The

Jerry Mullarkey hasnt seen a
Tomato Festival Parade in
years.
With good excuse, though.
Every year as the parade is
going on, Im usually handling
the awards ceremony for the
race, he said. Im always do-
ing race things.
Mullarkey, who served as a
co-director the festivals 5K
Race for the past 14 years and
who recently retired after work-
ing 42 years in City Hall, was
named grand marshal of the
2012 parade.
Its an absolute honor to join
the ranks of all the great grand
marshals before me, he said.
Mullarkeys career in Pittston
Citys Redevelopment Author-
ity came to an end on July 31
when he retired. He served in
the administration of five Pitt-
ston City mayors: Robert Loft-
us, Tom Walsh, Michael Lom-
bardo and Jason Klush.
I saw my role as a caretaker
of various federal, state and
other types of grants the city
received, Mullarkey said.
When Mullarkey started in
Pittston City in 1970, Kennedy
Boulevard was just completed
and the two-way Main Street
was transformed into a one-
way roadway.
At the time, the downtown
was bustling and businesses
were prospering, he said.
But with newer highways and
the shopping malls, many busi-
nesses evacuated and the down-
town became distressed.
A short time ago, the town
wasnt the most attractive
place, he said.
All that has changed with a

Over 30current or former resi-
dents of Duryea filed a lawsuit
against Duryea Borough and two
authorities in the United States
Middle District Court of Penn-
sylvania over the boroughs re-
sponse to the September, 2011
flood which flooded over 300
homes inthe borough. The plain-
tiffs are representedbyAtty. Jack
M. Bernard of Philadelphia.
Duryea officials named as de-
fendants are Mayor Keith Moss,
Police Chief Nick Lohman, Bor-
ough Manager Lois Morreale,
Council Chairwoman Audrey
Marcinko and Councilman in
charge of civil defense Frank
Groblewski.
The Lower Lackawanna Val-
ley Sanitary Sewer Authority
and the Duryea Borough Sewer
Authority are also named as de-
fendants.
The suit alleges, among other
points, that borough officials
willfully, wantonly and reck-
lessly abandoned their duties to
Duryea residents, ignoring an
emergency action plan that re-
quired 5,000 sandbags in place.
Borough officials were reluc-
tant to talk. I have no com-
ment, Mayor Moss said on Fri-
day, because we havent been
served. As soon as we get served,
our lawyer will come out with a
statement. After that, Id be hap-
py to talk about it.
Council President Audrey
Marcinko said much the same. I
cant comment on the advice of
our attorney. All I can say is the
truth will come out. I wish I
could tell you.
Stan Kapish, the organizer of
the group of plaintiffs, said the
suit is not about money. Theres
not a fat number thrown out.
When we met with the lawyer, he
asked everybody for a financial
loss statement. Everybody is dif-
ferent. Its not so much financial.
Its about offering legal advice
and about the wrong people be-
ing involved in local govern-
ment. People should be more
conscientious in the voting
booth. Instead of voting for their
friends and family, they should
put the right people in office.
Kapish served one four-year
term on Duryea Borough Coun-
cil, but was defeated by six votes
in 2009. Asked if that colored his
decision to organize the suit, he
said, Hell, no. That was a long
time ago. Ill put my four years
up against anybody.
Barbara Edwards, a resident of
Chittenden Street whose home
was flooded with seven feet of
water, said she wasnt asked di-
rectly to join the suit, but knew
about it.
You know, stuff happens. I
dont think sandbags would have
helped that much. The water
would have come from some-
where else.
That doesnt mean she exoner-
ates the borough.
Her biggest complaint was
that the fire truck announcing a
mandatory evacuation didnt go
down her street. We could hear
them up on Main Street but with
three pumps running, we
couldnt hear what they were

Dont be surprised if Sam
Chiarelli writes a song titled
Hummingbird Summer.
Thats what hes calling the
summer of 2012.
Chiarelli, a songwriter, musi-
cian and singer with the band
SilenTreatment, has spent sev-
eral hours this summer mes-
merized by the hummingbirds
in the Cornelia Street neigh-
borhood of his parents (Sam
and Mary Chiarelli) home. In
late June, from the vantage
point of Our Lady of the Eu-
charist church, he snapped sev-
eral photos of hummingbirds
on the porch of the Porcuzek
residence.
I look everything up, he
said, as he spouted humming-
bird information. The ones
Ive seen are females because
males have ruby, red throats.
He also learned that, in addi-
tion to nectar and the sugary
water common to
hummingbird feeders,
hummingbirds con-
sume small spiders.
So, when he was
alerted that a hum-
mingbird was trapped
in the garage of the
Tighe family next
door to his parents home, he
wasnt surprised to find a terri-
fied hummingbird trapped
helplessly in a spiders web.
It broke my heart watching
her struggle to get free, Chia-
relli said. So he went to its
rescue.
Chiarelli took the humming-
bird from the web and careful-
ly removed the sticky material
from its wings. It tried to fly
off before I was finished, and
it tumbled right to the ground,
he said. I thought she might
have had a stroke because I
read that they can get really
stressed, but I picked her up,
cleaned her some more and off
she flew.
Chiarelli offered the hum-
mingbird sugar water while
holding it. I actually got to
see her extend her tongue and
drink, he said.
Chiarelli, 26, recently gradu-
ated from Wilkes Uni-
versity with a Master of
Arts degree in Creative
Writing. A Seton Ca-
tholic grad, he earned a
Bachelor of Arts degree
from Wilkes in English
Literature.
The band SilenTreat-
ment has released two
CDs of original work and was
selected by rock legends KISS
to open for them at a 2010
concert at Montage. Chiarelli
said the group is doing a lot of
studio projects and is working
on a CD called Medieval
Knievel.
Chiarelli has a strong inter-
est in paleontology and natural
history in general and wrote
his masters thesis on dino-
saurs. He hopes to turn that
thesis into a non-fiction book.
He has written several essays
on dinosaurs and is only half
kidding about penning the
Hummingbird Summer song.

Asked how he came to open
a Mexican restaurant in
Wyoming, Mario Contreras
said, I got lost.
Contreras and his wife, Gua-
dalupe, opened Galera in the
Midway Shopping Center three
weeks ago - and they really
did get lost.
Mexican natives
who have been in
this country over
20 years, the cou-
ple were part
owners of a Mex-
ican restaurant in
Bloomsburg.
On a day off,
they took a ride
along some Penn-
sylvania back
roads. When they
got lost, they
made their way to
Route 11 as a way
to get back to
Bloomsburg.
When they drove by the
Midway, Guadalupe remarked
that it looked like a good place
for a Mexican restaurant.
We researched the traffic,
the ethnic make up; we looked
at the neighborhoods, he said,
adding that he liked what he
learned.
Contreras said he and his
wife lived in other states, in-
cluding Illinois where he
worked in a factory before
moving to Bloomsburg, but
they like Pennsylvania best.
Im so happy here, he said,
I cant tell you. I love the
scenery, the people. Pennsylva-
nia does a great job with edu-
cation for grown ups and
kids. The couples two young-
est daughters are students at
Bloomsburg University and
Bloomsburg High School.
Before he invested in the
Bloomsburg restaurant, Contre-
ras had no restaurant experi-
ence, but he dove in and
learned. Im a
hands-on guy,
he said. I cant
tell somebody to
do this if I cant
to it.
The food at
Galera is differ-
ent from the
Mexican fran-
chise restaurants,
Contreras said
because no lard
or peanut oil is
used.
Rice is
steamed to hy-
drate it more for
softness and salsa is made
from scratch. We take a lot of
pride in our salsa, Contreras
said.
Contreras is working on a
new menu item. Were com-
ing up with a line of burritos,
a combo of a burrito and a
wrap. The concept is like Sub-
way; make it your way. Its not
deep fried. Thats in the
works.
In the meantime, Contreras
makes this vow, Our commit-
ment to this community is
fresh food prepared as needed.
Nothing out of a can and make
sure you get your moneys
worth.
Galera, Spanish for galley, is
the first dedicated Mexican
restaurant in the Greater Pitt-
ston area.
The menu includes typical
Mexican fare and also such
things as Philly-style cheese
steak in a flour tortilla, fish
and shrimp tacos, vegetarian
and shrimp fajitas and grilled
tilapia, salmon and rib eyes
served Mexican style.

In the age of instant research with
computers, digital books on e-readers
like Nook and Kindle, smart phones
and smart pads, and newspapers and
magazines on line, what of libraries?
Before we conclude all this tech-
nology will make libraries obsolete,
lets recall when VCRs were going to
make movie-going obsolete.
Movie theaters are still around for
now and will be in the future.
Libraries are still around, too, and
at least locally it looks like they will
be around in the future, too.
The Pittston Library is poised not
just to survive, but thrive.
The Library secured a $761,000
federal loan and a $105,600 grant
and soon will break ground in Sep-
tember on a $1.5 million expansion.
As the story on page 5 today ex-
plains, the library is going to build a
5,000-square-foot addition with a
state-of-the-art conference room with
Smartboards and WiFi capability, a
larger childrens section, an arts and
crafts room, teen space and a senior
citizen area.
The Pittston library is entering the
new age of libraries, where libraries
are not just places to borrow books,
but community centers.
As such libraries are resources for
immigrants and other newcomers to
an area. It is often the first place they
go to network for housing and jobs.
Remember though computers seem
to be everywhere, not every house-
hold has computers.
One of the ideas the Pittston li-
brary has is for an intergenerational
program that will bring together kids
and senior citizens to learn from each
other.
Our other local libraries, in West
Pittston and Wyoming, are also add-
ing programs and technology to make
them viable in 2012 and beyond.
But what of the $700,000 plus loan
the library must pay back.
While that may seem like a bur-
den, thats where we all come in.
The library will use a series of
fund raisers and its usual annual cap-
ital campaign to make loan pay-
ments, so be generous to the library.
Start at the Tomato Festival, the li-
brary will have a fund raiser there.
In a sense the borrowed money is
money the library would have had to
raise over 40 years anyway.
With the money up front, the fu-
ture is now.
Its not your

As many taxpayers may have heard or read about, there is a
movement afoot in Pennsylvania to eliminate the ultra-regres-
sive school property tax in favor of an increase in the personal
income tax and sales tax. The bill being strongly considered,
House Bill 1776/SenateBill 1400 (Property Tax Independence
Act), was recently voted down in committee, but has a strong
chance of reappearing in the near future and possibly making it
to the floor of the House for a full up-down vote.
In its current form, this bill would eliminate the local school
property tax (which currently funds about 57% of education) in
favor of increasing the personal income tax from3 to 4%as well
as raising the state sales tax from 6 to 7%. It would also expand
the goods and services that sales tax is collected on.
How would this affect the average property owner? Since
property owners pay a large disproportionate share to fund edu-
cation, the vast majority would end up with a lot more money in
their pocket to spend as they see fit and help stimulate the econo-
my, and paying for the cost of education would be more evenly
spread out among all the commonwealths citizens. First time
homebuyers would not be burdened with exorbitant escrowpay-
ments and senior citizens would not be in constant fear of losing
their homes to foreclosure because they cant afford spiraling
school tax bills.
Most importantly, schools across the state would be funded by
a single source (the state itself) and therefore all schools would
be guaranteed an equal share of funding based on student pop-
ulation. No more disparities based on stagnant tax bases or rural
areas.
Also, this newmethod of funding is fairer to everyone because
its based directly on a persons ability to pay based on their fam-
ily income, unlike the property tax.
There is a website you can visit to calculate exactly howmuch
you would save under this new plan - http://www.ptcc.us/
pfpfcalc.htm. I strongly encourage all property owners to visit it,
do the math, and then get busy contacting your legislators, urg-
ing them to enact this fair and sensible law. The future of our
states education system and economic well-being is hanging in
the balance.

The Luzerne County Zoning Hearing Board will meet at 7
p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 7 in the Luzerne County Courthouse jury
room on the second floor. On the agenda is the permit applica-
tion of UGI Energy Services for a utility special exception to
construct a gas compressor station in West Wyoming.
I would also urge residents of Exeter, Wyoming, West Wyom-
ing to attend their borough meetings the day before, Monday
Aug. 6, to ask their council members for more information and
ask what the council members are doing about the proposed
compressor which could jeopardize residents health.
My concern as a member the Luzerne County Clean Air is not
just about the exception for the land use, its about the possible
adverse health affects from compressor emissions.

Maybe its the fact Imrolling down the highway
towards Exit 50, but Ive become so nostalgic
about my childhood lately. Ive been watching an
oddrealityshowwhichfollows a colonyof inhabit-
ants from a branch of Mennonites called Hutte-
rites. I cant lookaway! But mostly, Imintriguedat
the simplicity of their lives. They are content with
so little. And, aside fromthe women being chained
to the kitchen stove, basting everything in lard, I
admire them.
It made me think about life before every eight-
year-old in America had a cell phone. Simple
times, simple pleasure, simple contentment. What
the hell happened?
I miss it all. I really do.
I miss effortless exercise. Hopscotch was
enough for me. The only fitness guru we knewwas
Jack Lalanne, who Imcertain never heard of knit-
ting his ribs or talking to his torso. I daresay that an
hour of hopscotch can burn more calories than an
hour of spin class any day of the week.
AndwhenI addedJacks or Pick-Up-Sticks tothe
mix, I had balance!
Balance eludes me these days, on every level, by
the way. I walk into a door or a wall at least three
times a week.
Im just saying, there was a hell of a lot less
childhood obesity in my childhood because every-
one stayed outside and actually moved their limbs.
We jumped rope, roller-skated, swamand ran away
frommy brother because he was trying to stick my
finger in a light socket. (Worst. Babysitter. Ever.)
I miss the simplistic beauty regimens! My moth-
er would line us all up against the paneled TVroom
wall, slap some masking tape on our foreheads and
use that as her (mis) guideline for snipping our
group bangs. No one paid for haircuts in the 70s!
Now girls are highlighting their hair at the ripe
old age of 12. I did highlight mine once when I was
9. I thought a jar of Smuckers grape jelly would
suffice as my own low-cost version of Dippity
Doandwelllets just say the mosquitoes
were onme like white onrice that summer evening.
And aside fromKool Aid, its the single most effec-
tive hair color agent one can find in their own pan-
try. No charge for that beauty tip.
I miss communicating without an electronic de-
vice. I miss our telephone systemconsisting of two
tomato soup cans tethered together by leftover
yarn. I miss the rotary. I miss the oldphone boothin
the corner of my fathers drugstore. I miss being
able to disappear for awhile without a stupid ring-
tone screeching in my purse.
And texting!
When I liked a boy, I passed hima note in home-
room. (And then, I got stuck marrying him.)
But now no notes, no whispers, no mystery...e-
veryone just sends crafty and inappropriate mess-
ages via cyber space. Its preposterous.
I miss the human factor. Its gonethe way of
Slinkies and Lite Bright.
And by the way, I was the Mistress of the Crank
Call and I defy you to re-
discover that little gemin
this age of iPhones, call-
er ID and general sur-
veillance. Its just no fun
anymore. If I called my
kids and asked them if
they had Prince Albert in
a can, theyd fire up their
laptops and Google
Prince Albert. In a can.
Sad.
I miss the effort it took
to navigate making the
case for appropriation of
a coveted item. And that
technique made the getting all that much sweet-
er.
Lifes little pleasures were not handedtome free-
ly. For instance, when I wanted my ears pierced, my
mother toldme I hadtowait until I turned12. When
I turned 12, she told me I could not get my ears
pierced unless I found somewhere that accepted S
& H Green Stamps as payment.
She totally thought she had me. But guess
whatJ.C. Penneys accepted my Green Stamps
for pierced ears! She didnt get her blender, but I
got holes in my lobes!
Its just that theres somethingtobe saidfor really
wanting a treat and waiting for it. No one knows
what its like to want anymore. Unless youre me
and its a tummy tuck.
We forget howgloriously unadorned life used to
be, and how breathtaking that felt. Pre iPad, pre-
laptop, pre-X-Box, pre-spoiled rotten children.
My daughter, Madeline, dismisses her own gen-
eration so succinctly by notating that all the things
they consider difficult in this lifetime are First
World Problems. Shes right. Aside from losing
your home, your job or your healththe rest is in-
deed pretty much First World Problems.
We need to gain perspective. Get off the phone
and pick up a jump rope.
Instead of touching base through FaceBook,
touch an actual base.
And for Gods sakelets bring back S & H
Green Stamps!
I wonder if my plastic surgeon will accept Green
Stamps for an abdominoplasty? Im going to ask
him!
In the meantime, lets all just take a breathand,
wellbreathe.
Crack open an egg of Silly Putty, lay it over a
comic and stretch. Color outside the lines. Hop-
scotch is free. Agame of Jacks is therapeutic. And,
I can totally cut your bangs when youre ready.
Call me.
But not on your cell phone.

As I was thinking about what to write this week, I couldnt resist
writing about one of our families most favorite foods, basil. Our son
Corey especially enjoyed pesto, which is made frombasil. In the col-
dest wintery days we would enjoy pesto over angel hair pasta and just
think back to those warm summery days.
A bit of history on the herb. Basil has been grown since ancient
times. In1600s an English herbalist prescribed it for improved health
andcurethof infirmities andtakethawayof sorrow Thenit made
its way to American shores in the mid-17th century where it was used
mainly as a medicine.
Today it is mainstay of the kitchen herb garden and is often called
the king of herbs.
Basil originally came from India, but found its way into popular
Italian tomato and Thai recipes.
This relative of mint is often used in tomato sauces, pesto sauce,
and as a flavoring agent for oils, vinegars and teas. It also can be
sprinkled over salads and sliced tomatoes. Tear, dont chop the leaves
for the best flavor.
To make oil for salads, pound the fresh leaves and mix with a good
salad or vegetable oil. Fresh basil leaves should be washed with cold
water just prior to adding to a dish. Add it during the last 30 minutes
of cooking for best flavor.
A favorite Mediterranean dish made with basil is pesto. Pesto is a
green sauce that is added to soups, vegetables, fish, and pasta. Here is
a favorite recipe of our family.
If you wish, you can eliminate the walnuts and substitute pine nuts
or not add them at all.
Basil-Walnut Pesto Recipe
4 peeled, medium-sized garlic cloves
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1 cup Parmesan cheese
4 cups packed basil leaves
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
In a food processor, briefly mince garlic cloves. Add 1/2 cup wal-
nuts and process until thoroughly ground. Add 1 cup Parmesan
cheese and briefly mix with garlic and walnuts. Add 2 cups basil
leaves and half of the 1/3 cup olive oil. Pulse the food processor until
leaves are ground.
Add the remaining 2 cups of basil leaves and remaining olive oil.
Again, pulse leaves until ground.
Use immediately by tossing with your favorite pasta. This makes
enough for two, 1 pound servings of pasta. Use half and freeze the
remaining in a pint container. Add a bit of olive oil over the top to
preserve the flavor.
To use frozen pesto, thaw in refrigerator or defrost in microwave.
Dont allow pesto to overheat in microwave, as it should not cook.
Once pesto is warm, spoon onto hot pasta, mix thoroughly and serve.
Basil can be somewhat of a tricky herb to store. Wrap in a lightly
damp towel and refrigerate. Do not wash prior to refrigeration. It can
alsobe frozeninplastic air-lockbags. Donot thawbefore use just add
to sauces and soups frozen. Some folks have shared that they freeze
pured basil in ice cube trays and then pack in freezer bags.
Enjoy as our family will continue to enjoy pesto as a family re-
membrance for years to come.

By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler found
that that National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) has failed to take required action
to address the catch of severely depleted
populations of Atlantic river herring and shad
populations by the New England industrial
herring feet. The court found that a Fisheries
Management Plan must protect all stocks that
require conservation and management and
may not unreasonably delay making such
decisions. The court also found that the service
failed to minimize bycatch in the herring fshery.

An award of $650,000 to two Ohio tourists who
wound up spending weeks in Louisiana prisons
after they were locked up on public drunkenness
charges days before Hurricane Katrina hit New
Orleans was overturned Monday by a three-
judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals. The judges concluded that U.S. District
Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon was wrong to
uphold a jury verdict that found Orleans Parish
Sheriff Marlin Gusman falsely imprisoned
the two men. The decision also reverses a
fnding that Gusmans staff was deliberately
indifferent to the mens inability to call family
or lawyers on the phone to arrange bail before
the storm trapped them and thousands of other
inmates inside the jail facilities. Under normal
circumstances, Gusman would have been
responsible for releasing the men if no probable
cause was found for their arrests within 48
hours. But the 5th Circuit judges found that
requirement was not applicable because both
federal and state law provides exceptions in case
of an emergency.

Question #1
In 1964, what
was the cause of
a dispute cen-
tered on the
newly-construct-
ed Dupont Town
Hall?
1964 48 Years Ago
The Jenkins Township Volun-
teer Hose Company purchased
a 1940 American LaFrance
foamite fire truck from an
airbase in western Pennsylva-
nia.
The truck, manufactured to
battle electrical and oil fires,
underwent renovations at Port
Auto Body Shop operated by
John Garuba.
Helen Miller of Port Blan-
chard completed the lettering
work.
Upon the trucks arrival at the
hose company, fire chief Frank
Barnousky, president Joseph
Gorman and hose company
members Ronald Connell and
Art Donahue inspected the
new acquisition.
Truckson LaFrance started
the LaFrance Manufacturing
Company in 1872. In April
2007, to celebrate its 175th
anniversary, American La-
France relocated 18 fully-re-
stored antique fire trucks to
their newly-opened museum in
Charleston, South Carolina.
With the onset of football
pre-season practice, head
coaches for the school districts
were named.
Bob Barbieri moved from
Old Forge to Pittston High,
Nick Volpetti, former aide at
West Pittston, moved to head
the Exeter Panthers program.
Returning as head coaches were
Clem Russavage, starting his
third year at Northeast, Merle
Bainbridge as fifth year coach
at West Pittston, Pete Podwika,
having eight out of nine win-
ning seasons, remained at
Wyoming and third-season
coach Nick Anzelmi stayed at
West Pittston.
Johnny Lucas, of Pittston,
thought he had caught a record-
size bullhead catfish at Lake
Waccabuc, New York. In fact,
Sunday Dispatch hunting and
fishing columnist Gene Zam-
bor tentatively confirmed his
claim, admitting he would have
to check with Field and Stream
statistics.
Zambor maintained the fish
weighing 13 pounds four ounc-
es and measuring 28 inches,
was certainly not a channel
catfish because Lucas catch
did not have the customary
forked tail. Also ruled out was
a blue catfish due the uncharac-
teristic jaw line.
Fishandboat.com lists the
record bullhead catfish weighed
four pounds 10 ounces and was
caught by Ian Radle of Palm-
erton at Beltzville Lake in Car-
bon County.
Swimmers Frank Angella
and Claire Linskey, of Pittston,
Billy Pope, Joe Gillespie, John
Chiampi and Patty McCole,
of West Pittston, were selected
to compete in the Jaycee Junior
Olympics conducted in Be-
thlehem. The six took part in a
preliminary meet at the Pittston
pool.
1974 38 Years Ago
In 1973, the Duryea Wom-
ens Club collected books for
the proposed library to be
housed in the new Duryea Mu-
nicipal Building being con-
structed on South Main Street.
After gathering over 15,000
books and storing them in sev-
eral places, the decision was
made to transfer them to the old
municipal building for safe-
keeping until the new building
was ready. However, on June
25, just three weeks after the
transfer of the books, the for-
mer municipal building was
destroyed by fire. Shortly after
the fire, The Womens Club
began a new drive to collect
books for the proposed library.
The Pittston Area School
District was set to christen its
new baseball field. In the late
30s, the Number 10 Silk Mill,
which occupied the area, was
destroyed by fire. By 1947,
George Bone decided to build
a baseball stadium on the land
which, at the time, was a burn-
ing culm dump. St. Johns and
Pittston High Schools played
many a game at the stadium,
including the traditional
Thanksgiving match-up. In
later years, the stadium attract-
ed the likes of Rocky Marciano
and the Chicago Cardinals
Baseball team for exhibitions,
stock car racing in the 1950s
and major league baseball and
football. Although the newly-
renovated 41-acre site would be
dedicated only to high school
sports, many felt that, out of
habit, residents would continue
to refer to the facility as Bone
Stadium.
Tony Acernese, of Inkerman,
met Joe DiMaggio during
World War II yes, the famed
Yankee Clipper. Acernese
had always wanted to see Di-
Maggio again under better
circumstances. In 1974, DiMag-
gio visited Pocono Downs and
Tony and his grandson Louis
had a chance to catch up on old
times. Tony claimed he saw
DiMaggio hit a ball over 400
feet while at Pearl Harbor and
that he was not only the best
baseball player ever, but also
one of the nicest guys hed
ever met. DiMaggio helped the
Yankees to nine World Series
titles and broke the record for
hits in consecutive games with
56.
The Dupont Little League
V.F.W. team manager Stan
Knick, assistant manager Ed
Vogue Jr. and coach Stan
Knick Jr. were confident their
players would do well in their
match-up against Duryea in the
Lions Tournament. They had
good reason. Team members
Conrad Szumski, Paul DePri-
mo, David Williams, Richard
Krappa, Mike Smithonic,
Robert Sitara, Gary Vogue,
Barney Vedesko, James Laco-
mis, Gerry Renfer, Ray Rosa-
to, Joe Kuklewicz, Jeff Laco-
mis and Ed Vogue took the
Dupont Little League cham-
pionship in 1974.

programs of the past. Children
enjoyed sack races, various
contests and refreshments.
With the Summer Olympic
Games underway, Wyoming
Area School District can boast
of four swimmers who partici-
pated in the Junior National
Swim Championships in Fort
Lauderdale in 1984.
Team members Karen Win-
sock, Deana Cassetori, Na-
dine Pribula and Cindy But-
cofski put together a superior
time of 4:41.6 for a relay event
at the Mid-Atlantic Champion-
ship in Philadelphia.
Cassetori, a six-time district
champ, would also compete
individually in the breaststroke
event.
The Sunday Dispatch In-
quiring Photographer asked,
Do you feel the Soviet boycott
of the Olympics has been a
major factor in the United
States domination of the
Games?
Jim Sperrazza, of Harding,
answered, Yes, and the Amer-
ican athletes are taking full
advantage.
P.J. Pribula, of Exeter,
stated, No way, the USA came
determined to win and thats
what theyre doing.
Joseph Mugsy Matre-
selva, of Wyoming, added,
Wed still be winning. We have
always been superior to them in
the summer games.
The Soviets boycotted the
1984 Olympics in retaliation for
the U.S. boycott of the 1980
Olympic Games, which pro-
tested the Soviet invasion of
Afghanistan.
Along with the Soviet Union,
East Germany, and Cuba, 14
other countries boycotted the
Games held in Los Angeles.
Answer #1
The new Dupont Town Hall
built to replace an old frame
structure on Main Street had
become the center of a dispute
over whether coal or oil would
be used to heat the building.
Architects plans called for an
oil burner, but pensioned
miners were insisting upon a
coal furnace.
Constructed under a federal
loan plan, the building would
accommodate various commu-
nity functions.
Answer #2
At 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug.
7, 1984, the first Farmers Mar-
ket opened at the corner of
Kennedy Boulevard and Dock
Street. Listing over a dozen
vendors, the market was sched-
uled to run every Tuesday until
the end of the harvest season.
I regularly read Internet user
groups filled with messages
from people trying to solve
software incompatibility prob-
lems that, in terms of complex-
ity, make the U.S. Tax Code
look like Dr. Seuss.
Dave Barry
Anthony D'Angelo, of West Pittston, provided this circa 1930s photo of a barbershop located on the third floor of Pittston's Dime Bank
Building on the corner of Dock and Main Street. Pictured is Rex Cataldo in the center. D'Angelo recalled that the other barbers were
known as Mike and Charlie and that Cataldo went on to become the owner of the shop in the Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Barre for 40 years.
Cataldo also owned and operated City Barber Institute of Wilkes-Barre and, during Governor John Fine's administration, was appointed
to the Pennsylvania State Barber Board. Tony also remembered that Fred Gubitose, of Parsonage Street in Pittston, was a teacher at
the Empire Barber School in the 1950s. Cataldo passed away in 1998 at the age of 98. His daughter, Betty, still resides in the area.

Ive heard more positive
comments about the down-
town this year than Ive heard
in the past 42 years combined,
Mullarkey said.
And hes looking forward to
seeing two highly-anticipated
projects come to fruition: The
riverfront condominiums and
the North Main and William
Street commercial develop-
ment.
The Tomato Festival Parade
route is approximately two
miles long and will begin on
Main Street in South Pittston,
proceed through the downtown
to Kennedy Boulevard and
end on East Street, adjacent to
Coopers Co-op building. If
you cant make it downtown,
the parade will be televised by
Fox 56 with personalities Jane
Adonizio and Erin Dugan.
Mullarkey said hell help
out at the race as much as he
can before hes needed in the
parade.
Its going to feel a little bit
ironic, he said. As we pass
the festival grounds, theyll be
awarding the runners. And Ill
be in the parade. Itll be a
different experience, but Im
looking forward to it.
Mullarkey was born and
raised in Pittston and Hugh-
estown.
He graduated from St. John
the Evangelist High School in
1969 and went to Wilkes Col-
lege where he earned a degree
in psychology. He was proud
of his role as a linebacker and
fullback on the Wilkes Colo-
nels football team.
We lost the third game of
my freshman year and the
team didnt lose again until
after I graduated, he remem-
bered.
Mullarkey, 67, lives in
Hughestown with his wife,
Ann Marie. They have three
children, Joe Mullarkey, Mi-
chelle Hopkins and Maria Bu-
rakiewicz; and five grandchil-
dren, Michael Patrick Hop-
kins, 12; Megan Ann Hopkins,
10; Madeline Marie Hopkins,
8; Vincent Burakiewicz, 3;
and Christian Burakiewicz, 1.
Jim Deice, parade chairman,
said because Mullarkey was
retiring from the city, choos-
ing him as parade marshal was
a natural choice.
He made a commitment to
the city and we decided to
make a commitment to him,
Deice said. We wanted to
show our appreciation for his
(42) years of service to Pitt-
ston.

saying.
Edwards isnt sure if she
would have signed on to the suit
if asked.
Were here and were fine, so
I dont know. My husband and I
would really have to talk about
it.
The suit also alleges that Du-
ryea officials ignored informa-
tion that the Luzerne County
Emergency Management Agen-
cy enlarged the flood plain in
Duryea around February 2010
because levees in the Wilkes-
Barre area were elevated to 44
feet.
Luzerne County EMA Coor-
dinator Stephen Bekanich would
not confirm or deny the plain-
tiffs claim. At this point, Im
not going to comment, he said,
because I might be called to tes-
tify in that suit.
The plaintiffs in the suit are
Leonard and Theresa Ameika,
Joseph Boyko Sr. and Paula
Ward-Boyko, James and Ada
Chropowicki, William Field Jr.,
Bernard and Lisa Golubiewski,

Up until the end of the 18th century,
physicians warned against eating tomatoes,
fearing it would not only cause appendicitis,
but stomach cancer from the skins adhering
to the lining of the stomach.
It was later tested and proven in 1820, that
tomatoes are non poisonous and safe for
consumption. Today, it is one of the most
popular eaten vegetables by the every day
consumer, especially in the summer months.

their own refuse cans.
Street sweeping is done on
the first Friday of every month.

in effect on those days on
Wyoming Avenue. Cars will be
ticketed by police.

ren Szwast.

As they came off Fred DeSan-
to Field after winning the state
championship at the Pittston
Township Little League on
Thursday the Loyalsock 10-11
Little League All-Star team
players were greeted by what
they called the Pittston Row-
dies.
One of the biggest parts of
the tournament for us, said Loy-
alsock manager Eric Nagy,
were the Pittston Rowdies or
Crazies as we called them. They
were waiting at our gate and
chanting our kids names.
Nagy was talking about the
Pittston Township Little Leagu-
ers who adopted the Loyalsock
team to root for during the tour-
ney.
The local crowd got bigger
and bigger, Nagy said. In the
semi-finals they started rooting
for us and kept us pumped up.
Loyalsock defeated West
Point 14-7 in the championship
game. They also defeated State
College andMiddletownontheir
way to the title.
Staging the tourney was an
enormous undertaking for the
Pittston Township Little League.
It took months of planning by the
volunteers led by Pittston Town-
ship league president Carman
Sciandra and tournament chair-
man Tom Tigue to pull off the
week-long, 15-game tourna-
ment. The tourney opened Fri-
day, July 27 with former major
leaguer Andy Ashby throwing
out the first pitch at the Leagues
field on Bryden Street.

League Sections, vied for the10-
11 year old state championship.
One of the teams entered was
NEPAs Section 5 tournament
winner North Pocono.
Many local businesses helped
with donations of money or in-
kind. The township supervisors
helped with the expense of tents
and portable toilets. Pittston
Township Ambulance EMSDon
Hudzinski arranged for a certi-
fied EMS for each game, along
with a medical tent and a cooling
fan. Geisinger 303 Medic had an
ambulance on site.
Nagy said his team and fans,
who commuted from home an
hour-and-a-half to each game,
were blown away by the quality
of the tournament. Our whole
team was thoroughly impressed.
Pittston Township is a first rate,
first class organization. We were
super pleased. Personally Id like
to thank Carmen Sciandra and
all the volunteers who made our
trip through the tournament a
success.
