FACTS OF
LAW
Brought to you as a paid public service by
the Law Ofces of Dominick P. Pannunzio,
294 Main Street, Dupont, 655-5541
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
Connecticut has a new law requiring boat
owners to inspect their vessels for invasive
aquatic species.
***
The Supreme Court has struck down the
Stolen Valor Act of 2005, which sought
to ban unauthorized people from wearing
decorations or medals.
***
A controversial use of Illinois eavesdropping
law - prosecuting civilians for audio
recording police offcers conducting their
public duties in a public place - cannot be
enforced against the ACLU and its employees
for the foreseeable future. The preliminary
injunction was ordered by a federal appellate
court ruling that held such prosecutions
likely violated the First Amendment rights
of the public to record the work of public
offcials, including on-duty police offcers.
***
The United States Court of Appeals for the
Fourth Circuit, which is the federal appeals
court that has jurisdiction over federal
courts in Maryland and other Mid-Atlantic
states, has upheld the constitutionality of a
West Virginia law requiring all children to
be immunized for diptheria, polio, rubella,
tetanus, and whooping cough as a condition
to be admitted to public schools.

Fitness Coordinator of the Pitt-
ston YMCA, wanted to do some-
thing unique for Breast Cancer
Awareness Month.
I didnt want to raise money,
just make the women more
aware about breast cancer and
have fun while doing it, said
Butwin. I wanted to pack the
aerobics room, do some Piloxing
and educate at the same time.
About 50 women and one very
excited child crowded the YM-
CAto Pilox, some wearing signs
ontheir backs incelebrationand/
or in memory of those battling,
surviving or have lost the battle
to breast cancer.
Informationlinedthe YMCAs
lobby and aerobics room about
breast cancer, how to detect
breast cancer, treatments, rib-
bons and wrist bands for the
women to take home with them.
Fifty women are now more
educatedabout breast cancer and
thats all I could ask for, said
Butwin.
To continue awareness at the
Greater Pittston will have Paint
the YMCA Pink week. From
October 22-26, members and
non-members are encouraged to
wear pink when they come to
visit the YMCA. Non-members
will be able to use the facility for
free if they are wearing pink. In-
formation regarding breast can-
cer and awareness will be avail-
able throughout the YMCA.

Casey Bohan is a serial killer.
At Wyoming Area she killed
549. At Wilkes University only
nine killers in the nation have
killed more than Casey. In the
backyard of her parents home in
Harding theyve lost count.
Casey, 20, a 6-1 junior middle
hitter for the Wilkes University
womens volleyball team, is
ranked 10th in the country in
kills per set and fourth in points
per set.
Her sisters Mallory, a 5-6 ju-
nior, and Gabby, a 5-8 senior, are
right and left side hitters for the
Wyoming Area girls volleyball
team. We make upa whole front
row, Casey said.
The sisters grew up playing
family volleyball games in their
backyard with their parents Pa-
trick Bohan who played basket-
ball at Nanticoke and their moth-
er Judy and a large extended
family that includes their cousin
Nick Romanowski, the founder
of the Wyoming Area ice hockey
club, and cousins Lauren and
Megan Wysocki, who is a fresh-
man player at Wyoming Area.
We even got grandma to play,
Casey said.
When they were little the girls
had to sit and watch until they
were about eight before they
were allowed to play. Thats
how it all started, Mallory said.
Mallory said the backyard
games are competitive. It has to
be equal, Mallory said. If not,
theres a big fight about it.
To make the games equal,
Casey, who is a ringer in the
backyard, has to be on a teamop-
posite Mallory and Gabby.
Theyre vicious, the girls
mother Judysaidof the backyard
games. If youre picked last and
feel bad about it, well, who
cares?
When Casey graduated from
Wyoming Area in 2010 she left
as the volleyball programs all-
time kills leader with 549. Her
sisters got to see most of those
hits. Mallory was on the first-
year team and Gabby was a
freshman.
Asked if they look up to Casey
as a role model, they said they
did, though just a little reluctant-
ly. Yeah, I guess, Mallory said.
Shes good at volleyball and
school and that shows you can
balance it out. We should try to
do that, too, in high school.
Casey is a pharmacy major.
Gabby said, Sometimes we
get a little jealous, but it makes
us work harder.
With three daughters playing
on two different teams Judy sees
a lot of volleyball. FromAugust
to November we have no life but
volleyball. We dont even eat at
home, but I live for it. I dont ever
want to miss a game.
Eight times this season
Wyoming Area and Wilkes had
games on the same day. The
minute the Wyoming Area game
is over we drive over to Wilkes to
see Caseyplay. Its always a close
call.
Her husband goes with her
when he is not working.
The sisters all agree that vol-
leyball is an underrated and un-
der appreciated sport, both at
Wyoming Area and in general.
Our school is all about foot-
ball, Mallory said. Some kids
think volleyball is like a joke, but
we take it seriously.
The sisters said most kids
dont growup playing volleyball
as they did and thats the prob-
lem. Theres no real elementary
program, Casey said. Little
kids play baseball, basketball
and soccer.
The sisters were all basketball
players when they were younger.
I started basketball at the YM-
CA in second grade, Casey
said. I was definitely more of a
basketball player. I started vol-
leyball at Wyoming Area in sev-
enth grade and by my freshman
year I was more of a volleyball
player.
Mallory and Gabby made a
similar evolution from basket-
ball to volleyball. Mallory said
its more exciting than basket-
ball. You get more of a rush be-
cause you have to get to 25 to
win.
Gabby had to choose between
soccer and volleyball this season
when the PIAAmoved girls soc-
cer from spring to fall. It was an
easy choice. Volleyball is num-
ber one, she said.
Asked if they are likely to play
at the college level, Mallory, who
is 5-6, said, Im probably not
tall enough.
Gabby said she wants to go to
Temple and realizes shes not
good enough to play at a Divi-
sion I school.
That doesnt mean they are
done with the game.
The backyard will always be
there, Gabby said.

Facing a 4th-and-9, with four
minutes left in the first half Nick
OBrien and the Wyoming Area
offense had the GAR defense
right where they wanted them.
On the play OBrien threw a 30-
yard Td pass to a wide-open Jor-
dan Zezza to increase the War-
riors lead to 29-7 in their eventu-
al 48-15 win over the Grenadiers
on Friday in West Pittston.
The Warriors had scored their
first Td on a similar play, a 4th-
and-8, on a 25-yard pass to an
equally open Cody Schmitz. In
betweenthose pass, OBrienre-
turned two punts for Tds of 38
and 43 yards. The punt returns
were set up by WApunts by A. J.
Lenkaitis that pinned GARat the
5 and 9-yards lines and a swarm-
ing WA defense that put up 3-
and-outs both times.
On the first return, at 1:41 of
the first quarter, OBrien ran
along a wall down the WA side-
line untouched. On the second
return he made one tackler miss
at the point of the catchthenwent
down the home sideline again
along a superb wall.
WA also picked up two-points
on a safety in the first half and a
fourth Td on a 7-yard run by
OBrien to make it 35-7 at the
half. The Td was set up by a 36-
yard run by OBrien who got a
downfield block from Dylan
Pegg.
In the second half Cody
Schmitz capped a 67-yard 11-
play drive with a Td run of two
yards at 5:45 of the third quarter.
Schmitz set up his Td making a
diving catch of a pass from
OBrien for 19 yards to the GAR
7.
As much as the offense and
special teams were in synch, so
was the defense. The defense
sacked GARquarterback Moore
twice and allowed him to com-
plete only 9 of 27 for 128 yards.

Every opponent knows Ber-
wick has an exceptional running
back in Matt Cashman.
Jeff Steeber went from a re-
ceiving threat to a great change
of pace back, rushing for a sea-
son-high 97 yards on11attempts
including the game-winning
touchdown with 1:13 remaining
as the Bulldogs held off Pitt-
ston Area 23-20 in a Wyoming
Valley Conference matchup Fri-
day.
Its great. Ill do anything to
help the team, Steeber said of
taking more turns than usual in
the backfield. Our line blocked
great. That definitely was the
difference.
Steeber had run for 177 yards
this season, taking an occasional
turn to give Cashman a 1,000-
yard rusher a break. But Friday,
Steeber found holes in the Patri-
ots defense consistently.
The senior took a pitch to the
left to convert a third-and-29 late
in the first half. And he had 65
yards already when the Bulldogs
(7-1) got the ball backafter a Pitt-
ston Area punt at the Patriots 39
with 4:06 remaining.
Steeber took an end around to
the right for 18 yards on the first
snap of the game-winning drive
in the rain. On second-and-goal
from the 12, he took a pitch
around the right side for a touch-
down to give Berwick a 23-20
lead after Cashmans second
two-point run of the night.
It got pretty rough, Steeber
said of running in the mud.
Youve got to take small, chop-
py steps to keep from slipping.
But hey, a wins a win.
Jeff was amazing for us in the
fourth quarter, running the ball,
evading tackles, Cashman said.
Cashman ran 29 times for 178
yards and two touchdowns, as
the most effective offensive
weapon for Berwick. Two plays
after the Patriots (3-5) took a
14-7 lead in the second quarter,
he went over the left side into the
Pittston Area secondary.
Cashman was sandwiched by
two Patriots, each of whom
bounced off himin a different di-
rection. He then outran the rest
of the defense for a 52-yardscore
and a 15-14 Berwick lead.
Were mudders. We like to
play in anything, Cashman said.
Our team showed its heart and
soul to fight for this game.
Pittston Areas Joe Starinsky
was the Patriots do-all on this
night. He had three touchdown
catches among his seven recep-
tions for 177 yards. He was un-
touched on scores of 32 and 51
yards in the first half as Bulldogs
slipped trying to grab him for a
tackle.
In the third quarter, quarter-
back James Emmett looked to
his right before throwing down
the left sideline for Starinsky on
a 27-yard TDto give the Patriots
a 20-15 lead.
Hes an awesome athlete,
Cashman said of Starinsky. I
wouldnt be surprised if he
goes to a pretty good college
next season.
He also had an interception
that he returned 28 yards and
five tackles. His biggest stop
came on fourth-and-2 at the Pitt-
ston Area 16, as he filled a hole
and took down Cashman for no
gain with 5:39 remaining to pro-
tect the Patriots five-point lead.
Travis Potter had two of Ber-
wicks three sacks and Tanner
Weaver had three tackles for
loss, including a sack.
Though the Patriots had 193
yards passing to 50 for Berwick,
the Patriots had a heck of a time
running the ball. They had only
26 yards rushing in 21 atenmpts.
Emmett complete seven pas-
ses for 143. Gattuso completed
two for 50.
Patriots upset bid spoiled by late Dawg Td

Emmett threw for 143-yards and two touchdowns. Joe Starinsky
scores on a 51-yard pass reception. PAs RJ Haas, Joe Giambra, and
Eric Danaher gang tackle Berwick QB CJ Curry. No.25 Justin Wilk
breaks through the line for a gain.

and had rushed seven times for
negative yards.
Marty Michaels, Jeff Skursky,
Zach LaNunziata, OBrien, Zez-
za, Trent Grove, Matt Dimick
and the entire defense swarmed
to the ball.
OBrien had117 yards rushing
on15 carries, was 7-9 passing for
153 and the three Tds. LaNun-
ziata had seven carries for 39
running at fullback and Schmitz
had 25 on 8. Schmitz had 3 re-

winner. He stepped down after
the game after two seasons.
Ive been splitting my time as
the coach and a full time student
in College at Marywood, he
said.
It was getting hard to balance
my time, and I need to focus go-
ing into my senior year.
Asked to assess his two sea-
sons at WAhe said, I came here
looking to pass my love of the
game on to the girls and to give a
soccer program with so much
potential some new life. In the
two years Ive been in charge I
feel as if those goals were
achieved, however it wasnt me.
The girls deserve all of the cred-
it.
They bought into my pro-
gram, worked hard day in and
dayout, andbelievedineachoth-
er. They deserved their first divi-
sion championship in 15 years,
and Im so glad they brought me
along for the ride.
I now know more about the
game than I ever have because I
learned something new every
day. When I decide to get back
into coaching in due time, I will
be much more knowledgeable
about the game thanks to my ex-
periences at WA. Where ever I
end up coaching, Ill always be a
Warrior; Ill always remember
where my high school coaching
career started and those who I
was lucky enough to cross paths
with.

sion championship last spring in
