I never have enough time.
You dont either.
Nevertheless, when we are
presented with this whole extra
hour today most of us will
spend it sleeping.
Im sure I will.
And thats just wrong.
Who on their death bed if
offered an extra hour to live
would say, Thanks, I think Ill
take a nap?
This day deserves better.
Why, Ive often wondered,
isnt today a really big deal?
Why not a national holiday?
Why not the biggest holiday
of the year?
Today is 25 hours long for
cryin out loud. And you wont
hear even a single firecracker.
No champagne corks will pop.
No, except for that extra
hours sleep, we tend to take
today right in stride.
The only thing that might
make it stand out is if we forget
to change our clocks, which by
the way usually dawns on us
when we are the only person at
church for the 9 a.m. service.
What I really like about this
day is that, even if in only the
smallest of ways, we humans
break our bonds today.
Today, we set ourselves free.
Free from the most horrible
tyrant mankind has ever known:
the tyrant time.
All of our lives time rules. If
it isnt time for this, its time for
that. Time to wake up, time to
go to bed, time to brush our
teeth, time to go to work, time
to eat, time to do the dishes,
time to take our pills, time to
get a check up, time to grow
up, time to act our age okay,
Ill stop.
Its been said man is the only
animal who goes to sleep when
he isnt tired and wakes up
when he is. Hurts to hear it put
that way, doesnt it?
Our pets surely think were
crazy. No dog or cat would
invent something as insulting as
the alarm clock.
Yes, were slaves to time.
And we cant do a thing
about it.
Wait a minute (pun not in-
tended).
Didnt we just take our clocks
off the wall and set them back
an hour?
Whos the slave now, time?
Okay, its a short-lived tri-
umph. But doesnt that simple
act of adding an hour to an
autumn day, or taking one away
in spring, tell us something?
Doesnt it tell us that the only
power time has is the power we
give it?
And, therefore, cant we take
some of that power away?
Yes we can. Thats what I say.
My personal method of stick-
ing it to time is to do my best to
live outside of it.
Its easier than you think.
Several years ago I read: I
never knew how much time I
had until I threw my watch
away.
I immediately took the watch
off my wrist admittedly a
cheap Timex and tossed it in
a waste basket. And except for
a brief period about 12 years
ago when I bought a pricey
Movado thinking I needed to
impress some people, I have
not worn a watch since. Dont
you wind up late for things?
people often ask. Actually, I tell
them, Im always early. When
you dont have a watch you
cant afford to be late.
What I strive for mostly,
though, is to make time dis-
appear. Thats the ticket.
This concept didnt originate
with me, but I have discovered
the happiest experiences of my
life are when time goes away.
Ironically, the best way to
grasp this notion is to think of
its opposite. The worst experi-
ences of our lives are when we
are most aware of time. Wheth-
er its a toothache or a heart
ache nothing slows a clock like
pain.
And nothing speeds it up like
joy. It speeds it up until it dis-
appears all together.
For example, I have two
friends, a husband and wife,
who regularly invite me and
Mary Kay when she can make
it, for late afternoon coffee. We
arrive about four and a moment
later theres a cup of cappucci-
no in front of us. A moment
later its 7:30. And we only
become aware of that when one
of us happens to notice its
become dark outside.
Youve been there. The com-
pany in the car is so good
youre in Philly before you
know it. You lift your eyes from
a book and discover three hours
have vanished. The End pops
up on the screen and you swear
you just sat down in the theatre.
The key to this is love. You
love the movie, you love the
book, you love the company.
All expressed far more perfect-
ly than I can by Henry Van
Dyke:
Time is too slow for those
who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who
grieve,
Too short for those who re-
joice,
But those who love
Time is not.
Its as simple as that.

Pharmacist Pete Konicki
talks about closing his
pharmacy on Main Street
in Dupont after 28 years
in business on his last
day on Thursday.
Customers filed in to pick up their
prescriptions, but most came in to say
goodbye.
Its been an emotional two weeks,
said Pete Konicki, owner of
Konicki Pharmacy on Main
Street in Dupont.
After 28-and-a-half
years, Konicki closed
his doors on Friday, a
victim of big medi-
cine.
Shrinking reim-
bursements from the
insurance companies
and mail order prescrip-
tions, Konicki said.
They were the two biggest
factors that did us in.
Konickis was about as
hometown as they come.
Besides medication, the two aisles
of the store were filled toys and deco-
rations and candy. The soda fountain
was removed years ago and replaced
with a greeting card aisle.
I met a lot of great peo-
ple here, Konicki said.
I made a lot of
friends. Its hum-
bling to know
that these peo-
ple still remem-
ber my dad.
They still re-
member my
uncle. They
still remem-
ber the soda
fountain that
used to be right
there, he added
pointing to the
Hall-
marks.
The Konicki Pharmacy got its start
downthe street inDupont whenhis un-
cle, John Konicki, opened up in 1932.
It moved to its current location some-
time in the 1940s or 1950s. John Kon-
icki ran the business until he died in
1970. Anther pharmacy moved in for
several years, but the building re-
mained vacant for much of the time.
In 1984, Konicki graduated from
Temple University School of Pharma-
cy and he and his father re-opened the
business.
Its been a Dupont fix-
ture ever since.
I never lost sight of
the family angle, he said.
I was very fortunate to
have this opportunity. I
never lost sight of that.
Some bigger pharmacies
diversified to stay afloat.
They carved out little
niches, he said. Some do
high volume or compound-
ing of medical equip-
ment such as beds,
walkers, com-
modes.
But he
dis-
cussed the economics of independent
retail pharmacy.
Youve seenthis happenbefore, he
said. Redickas up the street closed a
few years ago. Burkes up in Scranton
was over 100 years old and they closed.
Crossroads Pharmacy (in Hanover
Township). The list goes on and on.
But with Konickis small store and
location, he said his focus was pre-
scriptions and quality customer ser-
vice.
Thats what I wantedtodo, he said.
I want every customer of mine to
knowthat I tooktheir prescriptionvery
seriously. Thats what kept me here all
these years.
He said he was much more
comfortable when he stepped
out from behind the counter
and talked to his customers
one-on-one, eye-to-eye.
Thats the number one
thing Im going to miss about
this, he said. The thousands
of people Ive helped.
Hes spent the greater part of
the past several weeks saying
farewell.
Its very difficult for me,
he said. I didnt get chance to
say goodbye to everyone, but
over the last two weeks Ive
tried. Anyone who came in the
store, Ive been personally
thanking them.
He said he wants every cus-
tomer to know how much he ap-
preciated their business.
Im thankful for their patron-
age and their trust in me, he said.
Im grateful they trusted me to be
their pharmacist.
He said the Rite Aid, between Lau-
rel Street andthe PittstonByPass inthe
Laurel Plaza, has obtained all the pre-
scription data from his pharmacy.
At 52, Konicki is unsure of his fu-
ture. He said pharmacist jobs are
tougher and tougher to come by.
He saidthe influxof pharmacygrad-
uates is high with six pharmacy
schools across the state. Also, the

Pittston is a little less colorful
today with the passing of artist
Joe Borini.
Borini, who died at 82 on
Tuesday, was Pittstons unoffi-
cial resident artist and mural
painter. Borini
worked in dif-
ferent medi-
ums, but was
probably best
known for his
large-scale pa-
triotic and Pitt-
ston-history
themed murals.
Two of his
historical
themed murals
fill the walls of
Savos Pizza.
Theres a 124-
foot Borini mu-
ral in Gerritys
supermarket in
West Pittston.
Another is on a
wall in Marine
Corps League
in Miners
Mills.
One Borini
Patriotic-
themed mural
is seen by thou-
sands of people
every day on
the outside wall
of the VFW on
Main Street in
Dupont. It de-
picts, among
other scenes, a
9/11 motif with
the Pentagon,
Lets Roll,
President Bush
and Rudy Giu-
liani.
Hundreds of smaller prints of
Borini drawings of historical
Main Street in Pittston, the Le-
high Valley Passenger Station
and other local history scenes
can be found in homes and busi-
nesses throughout the local area
and beyond. Drawings of Pitt-
ston City, the Laurel Line, a train
and a breaker are displayed in the
American Embassy in Japan.
The son of an Italian immi-
grant miner, Borini was born and
raised in Pittston Township and
graduated from Pittston Town-
ship High School in 1947. In an
interview in 2010 when he was
voted best artist in the Best of
Greater Pittston Sunday Dis-
patch Readers Poll, Borini said
he started painting when he was
5 or 6 years old.
When I was a kid, I couldnt
stand white paper lying around,
he said. I remember my mother
had wallpaper and I knew there
would be some leftover and I
couldnt wait to get my hands on
it so I could paint on it.
As a teenager he got a set of oil
paints. It got to the point where
any free time I had and anything
that was available whether it was
a piece of wood or paper, I did
something with it.
During the Korean War Borini
was stationed on Okinawa with a
bomb squad where he painted a
bikini-clad girl on a bomber the
airman nicknamed Hot to Go
after World War II planes.
The plane was shot down,
Borini recalledinthat 2010inter-
view. When the war was over
prisoners came back to Okinawa
and said, Joey youll never
guess what the Chinese did.
They brought in blown up pic-
tures of Hot to Go and said you
Americans are nutty for putting
beautiful women on airplanes
that kill people and do all this
damage.
Borini was also a craftsman, a
skill common among his ances-
tors in Northern Italy. General
Norman Schwarzkopf owns a
chess set crafted by Borini. He

Last November, Pittston City
voters approved the formation of
a commission to study home rule
for the city. Tuesday they will
vote to accept or reject that com-
missions work.
Voters in Pittston will be asked
the following question on Tues-
days ballot: Shall the Home
Rule Charter contained in the re-
port, dated August 27, 2012, of
the Govern-
ment Study
Commission,
prepared in ac-
cordance with
the Home Rule
Charter and
Optional Plans
Law, be adopt-
ed by Pittston
City?
Enacting the
Home Rule
Charter basi-
cally allows
elected city of-
ficials flexibil-
ity in govern-
ing not allowed
by the current Third Class City
Code, especially when it comes
to taxation. The biggest change
cityresidents are likelytoexperi-
ence if the charter is approved is
in this area as council would be
able to raise revenue through an
earned income tax (EIT) rather
than merely through property
taxes.
Former Pittston mayor Mi-
chael Lombardo, a member of
the studycommissionalongwith
current mayor Jason Klush
(chair), Ginger Murphy (vice
chair), Art Bobbouine (treasur-
er), Joe Chernouskas, Fred Stuc-
cio, Ben Tielle Jr., said this is
crucial in moving the city for-
ward and providing tax relief for
senior citizens on fixed incomes.
The city has come a long
way, Lombardo said, but un-
less we do this, we cannot move
to the next place.
He said that under home rule
city council could use a wage tax
to generate revenue and in turn
lower property taxes. For exam-
ple, a half-percent wage tax
could mean a 20 percent reduc-
tion in property tax, he said. The
burden of funding the city would
begin to shift from the home-
owner to the wage earner. And
since the tax would be on earned
wages, it would not affect Social
Security benefits.
State Rep. Mike Carroll com-
mented on the Home Rule Char-
ter, which is available for inspec-
tion at city hall and at www.pitt-
stoncity.org. Flexibility is the
key, he said. Home rule takes
away the bonds of the Third
Class City Code and allows the
city to take away the burden of
taxes fromretirees. Property tax-
es are an out-dated model, he
said.
Carroll said the thing he hears
most from his constituents is
something must be done about
property taxes.
Lombardo said lowering prop-
erty taxes encourages home
ownership and that is important
to the city. Currently fewer than
50% of city residents own their
homes.
The Home Rule Charter
changes Pittstons form of gov-
ernment from a commission
formto a council-manager form.
It calls for a four-member elect-
ed city council and elected may-
or who presides at meetings and
has voting power. It also calls for
an appointed city administrator
who must meet certain mini-
mum qualifications, along with
an elected tax collector/treasurer
and appointed solicitor, engineer
and independent auditor. It elim-
inates the current elected office
of controller.
If approved, the charter calls
for the seven previously elected
study commission members to
serve as a transition teamwith all
transitions to be complete by
Dec. 31, 2013.
One who believes home rule is
not the way for Pittston to go is
former city assessor Anne Brad-
bury, who served from 1990
through1999. Bradbury said one
of her main concerns about the
Home Rule Charter is it re-
moves checks and balances.
She said she is
uncomfortable
with the re-
placement of
an elected con-
troller with an
auditor who
will be a city
employee.
She also has
concerns about
giving council the power to enact
a wage tax. It might sound good
but we have never seen concrete
numbers. Rumors have it that a
wage tax could range anywhere
from 1 to 3 percent and while
theres talk of reducing property
taxes, will they?
Bradbury said a wage tax will
have a negative impact on prop-
erty values. Why buy a home in
Pittstonandpaya wage tax? she
said. This doesnt make the city
attractive to young families and
we need young families.
Bradbury said her opinion on
the charter has nothing to do
with the people involved or with
politics, it has to do with these
serious issues.

The wooden crucifix that had
overlooked the Scared Heart
Cemetery in Dupont for decades
has fallen, a victimof the wicked
winds of Hurricane Sandy last
week.
The concrete statue of Jesus,
attached to a wooden cross, was
not damaged, but structure will
need to wait until spring to be re-
paired.
The cross is attached to a large
concrete statue of the Blessed
Mother, Mary Magdeline and St.
John the Apostle. That structure
is on a stone base. The entire
work overlooks the grave of a
longtime former church pastor,
the Rev. Chester H. Kolakowski,
who was pastor from1938 to his
death in 1971.
The statue is more than 75
years old, said the Rev. Joseph
Verespy, Sacred Heart pastor.
The cross didnt fall off com-
pletely, Verespy said. It bent at a
45 degree angle. But it had to be
removed for safety concerns.
Tim Stonikinis, of Dupont, a
general contractor and parish-
ioner, will coordinate the repair.
The 8-foot cross will spendthe
winter in storage in the churchs
garage. It is made with 4-by-6
pieces of dark stained hemlock.
The base is six feet high.
All the statues are made of
concrete with an auto paint fin-
ish. The cross is supported with
cast iron plates.
Well have to disassemble the
base somehow, pull it apart and
remount the cross, Stonikinis
said.
He said when the original
work was built, the timber went
several fee into the base. But af-
ter it was renovated several years
ago, the cross was bolted to
stainless steel plates and went in-
to the statue 8 inches.
But the wood continued to
decay, he said. All it took was a
big breeze.
Sandy topples Dupont cemetery statue
A wooden crucifix, attached to a monument in the Sacred Heart Cemetery, was damaged by high winds during last week's storm. The
entire work overlooks the grave of a longtime former church pastor, the Rev. Chester H. Kolakowski. .

the monument where the cruci-
fix had been attached.

yond casting votes on bills and
amendments, Carroll said.
And that is you become an
ambassador and an advocate
for your communities in sub-
stantive ways ... the state (rep-
resentative) certainly is a
catch-all for problem solving.
Carroll said that role has
been particularly important in
Luzerne County, where smaller
municipal governments often
dont have the resources to
answer all the questions and
solve all the problems resi-
dents approach them with.
Carroll, the Democratic
chairman of the House Trans-
portation Subcommittee on
Highways, named three pro-
jects he has successfully
brought to his district through
earmarks: the reconstruction of
Commerce Road in Pittston
Township and Dupont, the
planned construction of a new
airport access road in Avoca
and the repair of a dam on
Boy Scout camp property in
Tobyhanna Township in the
Monroe County portion of his
district.
There are a whole series of
other victories that somebody
like me gets in terms of deal-
ing with the 15 communities
(in the 118th district) that are
much less noteworthy as far as
dollars and cents go that are
much more important as far as
communities go, he said,
naming a Duryea flood wall
project as an example of such
a smaller project.
Carroll said he would con-
tinue to make investing in
transportation infrastructure a
priority if reelected. He said
investment in infrastructure
creates construction jobs, and
would partially alleviate high
unemployment in the region
and around Pennsylvania.
OConnor is running for
state office, but is doing so to
stand up to federal policies.
He said Pennsylvanias gov-
ernment should directly chal-
lenge Congress on issues that
harm the state and companies
doing business here, including
health care reform, gun control
and environmental regulations
placed on industry.
OConnor is challenging
Carroll for the second consec-
utive election. The last time he
ran, OConnor said, he stepped
up to challenge a candidate
who had no opponent, a sit-
uation OConnor said he
found inexcusable.
On state issues, OConnor
said he supports Gov. Tom
Corbetts budget because it is
balanced and the state cannot
go back to the era of the Ren-
dell budget deficits. His an-
swer to economic issues plagu-
ing the state, like high unem-
ployment and the state pension
crisis, is to create economic
growth, especially in the ener-
gy sector by encouraging de-
velopment and use of natural
gas in the Marcellus Shale.
OConnor said he opposes
any additional taxation of the
gas industry, noting that gas
companies already pay the
second highest corporate in-
come tax in the nation in
Pennsylvania, but said the
state should require gas com-
panies to develop infrastruc-
ture to encourage the use of
natural gas vehicles.
He said he would work to
pass a law mandating large oil
and gas companies that run
gas stations make compressed
natural gas fuel available at
strategic locations around the
state, though he does not sup-
port spending tax dollars to
finance that infrastructure.
OConnor said he supports the

Avoca native has sons worth bragging about
If President Obama wins Pennsylvania on
Tuesday, he owes Patrick Joyce a nice bagel bas-
ket.
Joyce, a native of Avoca, graduate of Pittston
Area High School (Class of 70) and recently
retired public school teacher, has been bicycling
across the state in support of Obamas cam-
paign. He says hes biked1,000 miles in support
of the president. Ayoutube video about his mis-
sion has caught a lot of attention, he says, adding
the purpose of his rides is to inspire Obama sup-
porters. If a 60-year-old can ride his bike hun-
dreds of miles for the president, then maybe the
20-years-olds in his campaign offices will step up their efforts, he said.
The youtube video, shot and edited by Tomah Mackie, is about Joyces ride from Scranton to
Hazleton.
He has riddentoWilliamsport andState College andplannedtrips toPhiladelphia andEastonthis
weekend, weather permitting.
I am a volunteer, not a paid staffer, and personify what this campaign is all about: middle class
vols fighting to keep the middle class strong, he said.
Joyce is the father of 28-year-old twin sons. Ryan Patrick is a designer for Chrysler and Shawn
Patrick is a lawyer. Both, he said, are Obama supporters.

A West Pittston couple is
keeping their sons passion for
the theater alive.
As a result of a gift from Car-
men and Sandra Maffei, the
Kings College theater has been
named in honor
of their late
son, George P.
Maffei, II, a
1979 graduate
of Kings, and
an endowment
has been estab-
lished in his
name to provide a student schol-
arship.
The scholarship will be award-
ed annually to a student inter-
ested in participating in theatre
productions.
The first recipient of the schol-
arship will be named this fall.
George P. Maffei graduated
fromKings College witha bach-
elors degree in English. He was
active in the theatre his junior
and senior years, participating in
six productions between Sep-
tember 1977 and April 1979. He
acted in plays by Aristophanes,
Anton Chekov, Shakespeare and
William Inge.
He also portrayed the hunts-
man in a Childrens Theatre Pro-
duction of Cinderella spon-
sored by the Womens Junior
League.
Maffeis largest role was in the
spring 1979 production of Ge-
orges Feydeaus farce A Flea in
Her Ear.
According to published re-
views, George Maffei is bril-
liant as Camille Chandebise, a
gentlemanwitha speechimpedi-
ment. Young Maffei brilliantly
carries off his part under the
coaching and direction of J. Ger-
ald Godwin. He does it with
class and provided many of the
nights laughs.
Maffei followed in his fathers
lawfootsteps andwent ontoearn
his law degree from Southwest-
ern University School of Law in
Los Angeles.
While there, he participated in
community theatre from 1980
through 1984. He also directed a
lawclinic for Actors Guildmem-
bers at Southwestern and was a
volunteer for the 1984 Summer
Olympics in Los Angeles.
Maffei relocated to Florida in
1985 and began his own law
practice specializing in enter-
tainment law.
He died in an automobile acci-
dent in Pompano Beach, Florida,
in September 2008.
Georges father, Carmen Maf-
fei is a 1956 graduate of Kings
and a retired attorney. He for-
merly served as the West Pittston
area Magisterial District Judge
for 32 years before retiring in
2002. He and his wife, Sandra,
reside in West Pittston.
As a student, George was
happiest when he was participa-
ting in a theatre production, his
parents said in a news release.
The passion, joy and satisfac-
tion that he derived was obvious.
Both of us feel, and at times Ge-
orge agreed, that he was sorry he
hadnot pursuedtheatre as his vo-
cation. We are extremely happy
and proud that other students
will have the opportunity to ex-
perience the same passion and
joy from the theatre that George
cherished.
The Rev. John Ryan, C.S.C.,
president of Kings College, ap-
plauded Maffeis legacy.
The theatre programhas long
been a staple of Kings College,
Ryan said. The theatre attracts
students from a wide range of
academic majors and their expe-
riences have proven to be a trea-
sured part of their liberal arts
education at Kings. George
Maffei II is a true example of
how the theatre program at
Kings enhances students expe-
riences andremains a fondmem-
ory long after graduation.

Question
With the 1964 pres-
idential election
scheduled for Nov. 3,
the city of Pittston
announced that there
were a total of 7,095
registered voters. However, what did
some voters find unusual about the
tally?
1954 58 Years Ago
Built in 1927 and financed by At-
torney Charles Loveland and Mrs.
Hollenback of Wilkes-Barre, the Du-
pont Community House had become a
staple in the borough. Hosting orga-
nizations as the Boy Scouts, Forget-me-
Not Club and Goodfellows Club among
other groups, the building was in jeopar-
dy of being sold by the board of direc-
tors.
The Dupont Board of Education in-
vestigated the possibility of using the
building to house students then attend-
ing classes in the Pulaski School or
house students who once attended the
Lincoln School, which was destroyed by
fire in 1948. Harold Gammon, first
director of the community house, held
hope that the historic building would
remain a community center, remember-
ing that residents attended Sunday
School classes there during the 1920s
and 30s and during World War II, the
building was used as an induction cen-
ter.
Pittston City Council and Mayor
Joseph Saporito were engaged in a
review of operational costs with regard
to the 1955 proposed budget. In 1954,
expenditures totaled $596,764 with
anticipated like income. The budget
provided for $92,435 for the Department
of Public Affairs which included police,
parking meters, communication, city
engineer and Bureau of Health, $30,545
for the Department of Accounts and
Finance headed by Joseph Walsh.
Council budgeted over $80,000 for
Department of Public safety and
$177,793 for Department of Streets and
Public Improvement. The Department of
Parks and Recreation was allotted
$8,362, which included the cost of
maintenance of city hall and payment of
employees.
Other accounts provided for were
$33,000 for redemption of bond issues,
$4,530 for interest, $2,000 for Social
Security payments, and $6,500 for com-
pensation and insurance.
Mrs. Orlando Biscontini, of West
Pittston, was visiting St. Cecilias Ceme-
tery in Exeter when she noticed an over-
turned candle had started a grass fire
threatening to spread to gravesite deco-
rations and flowers and shrubbery. With-
out hesitation, she stamped out the fire,
saving the cemetery from costly dam-
age.
1964 48 Years ago
Over 100 youngsters dressed in cos-
tumes ranging from devils to angels
attended the Halloween party sponsored
by Serve Your Y Club at the YMCA in
Pittston.
Judges awarded prizes to Donna Ma-
rino and Dennis Bohan for funniest;
Debbie Wieczorek and Paul Tamoli-
nus, scariest; Raymond DelPriore and
James DelConte, prettiest; and Stanley
Chase and Kathryn Yanchis, most
original.
According to the web site www.histo-
ry.com, in the second half of the 19th
century, America was flooded with new
immigrants. These new immigrants,
especially the millions of Irish fleeing
Irelands potato famine of 1846, helped
to popularize the celebration of Hallo-
ween nationally. Taking from Irish and
English traditions, Americans began to
dress up in costumes and go house to
house asking for food or money.
Bonnie Ann Baird, of Wyoming, was
elected the first president of the newly-
formed Wyoming Valley Junior Miss
Sorority. She represented girls who, over
the years, were finalists in the Wyoming
Valley Junior Miss Contest sponsored by
the West Side Junior Chamber of Com-
merce.
Miss Baird and the winners of other
such contests across the state went on to
compete in the Miss Pennsylvania Ju-
nior Miss Pageant and, if chosen, went
on to the America Junior Miss Pageant.
According to pageantopolis.com, in
1958, what began as America Junior
Miss Pageant changed in 1959 to Amer-
icas Junior Miss. In 1989, it was re-
named Americas Young Woman of the
Year because the emphasis was on
scholarship, talent and achievement.
In 1992, it went back to Americas
Junior Miss for marketing and promo-
tional purposes, as well as general rec-
ognition. However, in 2010 it was
changed to 2010 Distinguished Young
Woman of America.
1974 38 Years Ago
The newly-constructed Duryea Bor-
ough building was dedicated. The ma-
sonry structure built on the site of the
former Lincoln School for $430,000
featured a large council chamber and
library on the upper level and a large
community room on the lower level.
The entrance lobby contains a ceramic
tile mural depicting the delineation of
the Borough of Duryea. The blue tiles
represent the Susquehanna and Lacka-
wanna Rivers. Red tiles show the three
dams and Falling Springs and the ex-
tended portion of the mural is the Fifth
Ward which extends in Avoca.
Vacendaks Home Center at 101 S.
Main St. in Pittston held a ribbon-cut-
ting ceremony. Mike and John Vacen-
dak partnered in the paint and home-
building material store. Present at the
ceremonies were Floyd Evans, Joseph
Quinn, Dick Lyons of the Chamber of
Commerce, Jerry Mirro and Jack Le-
wis.
Ensign Walter Skip Stocknick, of
West Pittston and a graduate of the Unit-
ed States Naval Academy, was stationed
at the Naval Air Station Oceana in Vir-
ginia with the Squadron VA-176 attack
bomber squadron which flew the A-6
Intruder twin-engine jets. He received
training both in Yuma, Arizona and
aboard the Franklin D. Roosevelt Air-
craft Carrier.
Known as a basketball and track star
at Wyoming Area High School, Skip
was set to attend flight school to become
a Navy jet pilot. Lawrence Mead, Jr,.
who later was instrumental in the design
of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and the
Lunar Excursion Module, led the A-6
bombers design team.
Warrior golfers chalked up their 72nd
consecutive league golf match win in
Wyoming Valley Golf Conference play-
offs. Coached by Joe Satkowski, golfers
Rich Donlavage, Joe Jumper, Joe
Angelella, Billy Briggs and Henry
Petroski took the league title by a 20-
stroke margin.
1984 28 Years Ago
Pittston Area School District offered
Creative Enrichment classes to give
first-hand information to students on the
political process. Special events gave the
students a comprehensive look at the
American system of government and its
elections. John Denney of the Reagan-
Bush headquarters and Jennifer Wintner
of the Mondale-Ferraro headquarters
visited the school to discuss the various
facets of attending conventions, meeting
candidates and debating issues facing
the country.
The students held a pre-election poll
and staged a mini-mock debate. In 1984,
the presidential election was held on
Nov. 6. Republican Ronald Reagan was
elected to a second term, defeating
Democrat and former U.S. vice presi-
dent Walter Mondale. Reagan won 49
states and received 525 electoral votes to
Mondales 13, making the election one
of the biggest landslides in U.S. history.
Mondale also made history that year
by choosing as his running mate Ger-
aldine Ferraro, the first woman selected
by a major political party for its presi-
dential ticket.
The Northeastern Pennsylvania Tennis
League Southern Division champions,
Pittston Area Patriots, closed their sea-
son with a 12-0 mark.
Team members included Paulette
Kern, Tammy Jackson, Nancy Rydzy,
Marie OBrien, Mary Pat McMullen,
Susan Charney, Karen Smalley, Kim
Lizak, Colleen Curtin, Paula Kmiec,
Kathleen Cosgrove, Maria Sciandra,
Dawn Dankulich, Tracy Pahl, Janice
McMullen, Mary Ellen Opeka, Mary
Polino and Chris McNulty.
Denise Klaproth, of West Pittston,
received her black belt in Kung Fu from
the Shaolin School. Miss Klaproth par-
ticipated in competitions over a five-
year period during which she received
28 trophies.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, In your opinion, what
are the major issues that voters should
be concerned with while casting votes?
Dorothy Dructor, of Duryea, answer-
ed, Poverty, that two people have to
work in a family to keep home going.
Martha Moranski, of Avoca added,
Unemployment, give people a job then
they can solve their own problems.
Jimmy Dennis, of West Wyoming
stated, A stable economy, not empty
promises of a balanced budget.
Margaret Hatrak, of Exeter said,
Make sure to vote for the man best
qualified to lead America for the next
four years.
Answer
In 1964, the list of eligible voters
showed 1,461 male Republicans, 1,641
female; and 1,885 male Democratic
voters and 2,092 female. Overall, 387
more female voters than men.
According to the Gallup Poll, 48 per-
cent of likely voters this year are male,
up 1 percent from 2008, while female
voters dropped 1 percent to 52 percent.
According to The Center for American
Women and Politics, in every presi-
dential election since 1984, the propor-
tion of eligible female adults who voted
has exceeded the proportion of eligible
male adults who voted.
How come we choose from just two
people to run for president and 50 for
Miss America?

chains are cutting back on 24-
hour pharmacy service.
Its tough out there, he said.
For Konicki, its always been a
family affair.
His wife, Mary, and their sons
David, 25, and Jimmy, 22, have
supported himin good times and
in bad. David is an engineer and
Jimmy is in insurance sales.
His sons Eagle Scout pictures
hung prominently in the store.
His brother, John, occupies a
dentist office in the same build-
ing.
His longtime worker Elaine
Duzen, along with students and
customers he considered part of
his family.
This just isnt a pharmacy
thats going away, he said. Its
really a whole family.
When dealing with customers,
he had one simple rule.
I wanted to get the customers
in and out as quickly as possi-
ble, he said. The big chains
want you to stay for 20 minutes,
but I never bought into that.
If there was a mother with a
sick baby with a prescription for
an antibiotic, that mother got pri-
ority, even if there were three
other people standing in line.
She was up all night with her
sick baby and theyre both ex-
hausted, he said. The last thing
she wants to do is spend time in a
drug store. And second, theres
the sick baby. All that mother
wants to do is get that baby home
and give him the medicine and
make him well. Thats how I op-
erate.
A steady stream of customers
stopped in to say goodbye.
Ceil Piechota wished Konicki
well. The lifelong Dupont resi-
dent said shes been coming to
Konickis much of her life.
Well miss you. Thank you. I
wish you luck in the future, she
said.
Alfred Lis of Dupont walked
in and Konicki immediately
asked him about his dog.
They chatted a bit.
Everythings going down and
my bills are going up, he told
Lis about the closing.
The men shook hands and Lis
departed.
Konickis is a piece of Du-
pont, he said. Were losing a
piece of Dupont.
Above, Pete Konicki fills a prescrip-
tion on his last day in business on

Though Borini worked at To-
byhanna Army Depot for 27
years, his real passion was paint-
ing and he developed a nice side
business.
He started out as a portrait
painter, but gave that up for mu-
ral work, which started when he
was commissioned to paint mu-
rals, through word-of-mouth re-
ferrals, in private homes often of
hunting and fishing scenes.
His last large mural, which he
finished last summer, is a color-
ful winter scene of vintage Pitt-
ston on a 9 by 7 wall in the wait-
ing room of Pittston Dental on
Main Street
Borini liked to tell the story of
the mural of a United States Ma-
rines battle he painted on a wall
of the Marine Corps League in
Miners Mills.
I was down to my last two
strokes and a man walked in. He
looked at the mural, turned
around and walked out. When I
was finished I went out a heres
this man crying. I went over to
him and said whats wrong and
he said I had a tough time look-
ing at it.

What wont
happen Tues.
Over the past 15 years, the City has realized unprecedented
progress. The blue print has been a multi-point plan addressing
such critical areas as downtown development, infrastructure im-
provement, public safety, municipal cooperation, operational
restructuring, housing and tax relief. My administration, the
Keating administration and the Klush administration have fo-
cused on these objectives.
One impediment still in the way is an out-dated City Charter
(the Third Class City Code). This formof government is archaic
and a factor in so many Third Class cities reaching distressed
status. It places anunfair taxburdenonhome owners; particular-
ly our retired senior citizens and limits a citys ability to respond
to modern day challenges.
In order for this city to continue to move forward, we all must
worktogether withthe commongoal of makingPittstonthe most
progressive, safest and taxpayer friendly place in Northeast PA.
It is to that end that I amrespectfully asking you to vote YES for
Home Rule this Tuesday.
If one thing is true about my 8 years in office its this: when I
told you my administration would do something - we did it! Sim-
ilarly, the Klush administration has done the same and has of-
feredthe followingguarantee: vote Yes for Home Rule andhome
owners will see a reduction in their City property tax. You wont
have to wait. This reduction will be integrated into the 2013 bud-
get. It is to that guarantee that I have asked Mayor Klush to co-
sign this letter.
In a time when most of our nation, this Commonwealth and
many municipalities are struggling; the City is on an undisputed
path to prosperity. Our bills are paid, our overall debt is belowthe
acceptable level, crime is low, newhousingis beingbuilt andreal
tax relief is on the way.
There is still much to be done but we are certain it can be
achieved if we continue to work together.

OUROPINION
As far as we know this year the rivalry
part of the 46th annual Pittston Area
Wyoming Area football game was strictly
on the field.
We didnt hear about any pre-game she-
nanigians of the type that pop up once in a
while, such as a deer carcass thrown on
the field as happened one year.
Even the game itself on Friday, while
hard-hitting and bitterly-contested, was
civil.
Not only were no late hit or personal
foul calls of any kind, Pittston Area had
only one flag thrown on themfor just five
yards.
The game was muddy, but clean. The
fans were frenetic, but friendly.
Football notes
YOUROPINION
Lets cut tothe chase. The reasonPittstonCityofficials want to
change tohome rule is simple. Theywant toraise the wage taxon
those of us who are working and they cant do that with the pre-
sent form of City government. They promise that they will be
able to reduce the local property taxes with the revenue fromthe
increase in wage tax. But, they have no concrete numbers to sup-
port that claim.
The population of Pittston City is increasingly elderly. Raising
the wage tax will not generate enough money to lower property
taxes. So well have both the highest property tax rate in the
county AND higher wage taxes.
Many, many towns in Luzerne County have low property val-
ues due to the soft real estate market. If Pittston City has a high
wage tax rate and the highest mileage rate on properties, it will
discourage people from moving into the City and will further
depress our property values.
Thats moving Pittston City in the wrong direction. Vote NO
on home rule.

In TV and radio ads Republican Senate candi-
date Tom Smith talks about going from miner to
mine operator and says Bob Casey is backing
Obama regulations which will devastate the
mining industry.
So how does Casey respond? With ads that say
Casey comes from coal, and brags that Caseys
grandfather was a coalminer.
Big deal, whose grandfather wasnt?
The Casey ads also accuse Smith of risking
miners lives by running unsafe mines, citing
1,800 violations against Smiths mines.
Here is what Marc Levy of the Associated
Press wrote. I found it in the Philadelphia Daily
News
Smith said he was extra cautious about safety,
not cavalier. Indeed, inspectors flagged Smiths
mines far less than other mines for the most seri-
ous possible violation, whether on a per-mine
basis or per-ton of coal produced. Smiths mines
also never received a warning letter that tells an
operator that it has a persistent pattern of vio-
lations that are considered a serious safety haz-
ard.
The one statistic that makes Smith look bad is
workers days lost.
Its a misleading stat.
From the Levy story: Tony Oppegard, a Lex-
ington, Ky., lawyer who worked for MSHA as
accident investigator, said he was hesitant to use
the statistic because there are mining companies
that do not report accidents, or they minimize
days lost by bringing an injured worker back to
sit at a desk.
Thats something that Smith did not do. When
workers were injured he told them to stay home
and recuperate.
Casey used misleading stats and innuendo,
while Smith said the truth about himself and
Caseys complicity in Obama plan to devastate
the coal industry.
Of course, it doesnt matter that Casey used
misleading stats to damn a man who rose from
laborer to company owner and employs 100s of
workers, something Casey, from a political fam-
ily, never did.
It doesnt matter because people around here
will vote for Casey because hes a famous Demo-
crat who will run around handing out checks of
other peoples money.
Its weird that Luzerne and Lackawanna Coun-
ty voters continually send incumbent Democrats
back in office with the same phony promises of
jobs, jobs, jobs and yet the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre metro area has had the highest unemploy-
ment rate of the states 14 metro areas for 29
consecutive months and the counties have been
in the top five for 50 years.
So anyway, whom shall we vote for, the career
politician liberal Senator with the famous name
who will vote for every billion dollar big govern-
ment scheme Obama dreams up or the up-by-the-
boot-straps entrepreneur who knows something
about real work? Man what a dilemma?
At a Democratic rally a few months ago Casey
complained about his opponent spending mil-
lions of his own money on his campaign.
So what? Is Casey saying if he had it he
wouldnt spend it on himself?
Sometimes these guys can be funny, though,
because standing next to Casey as he said Smith
was spending his own money was Matt Cart-
wright who spent at least $400,000 of his own
money on his primary campaign.
Presidential election
Yeah, Im going to vote from Romney and I
hope he wins, but by personality Im not an opti-
mist and I dont like to make predictions. I dont
know whats going to happen in the future. If I
did I wouldnt be sitting here, Id be sitting on the
veranda of my island home writing a novel.
I hope Romney wins, but if he doesnt Im not
a fatalist.
I dont think Obama will destroy the economy,
but he will hold it back. Lately there have been
tiny improvements in the economy. Obama sup-
porters claim that shows his polices are working.
To me the improvements mean the economy is
working in spite of Obamas policies. He and the
Democrats held back the economy with their,
ahem, affordable healthcare act and so-called
stimulus bill, but they cant kill it.
The economy always ebbs and flows. Political
decisions can slow it down or speed it up, but it
still has a life of its own.
As Im not fatalistic about Obama, Im not
over optimistic about what Romney will be able
to do. It would be way better with him, but he
cant bring back the roaring 20s, because the
federal government is too big, too unwieldy.
Last year the government spent approximately
$1.03 trillion on 83 means-tested federal welfare
programs, not counting Social Security, Medi-
care. Thats 32 percent more than 2010. Look the
number of programs again - 83.
Do you really believe that funneling $1 trillion
through 83 bureaucracies is the way to help peo-
ple?
Put that money where it was taken from: peo-
ples pockets, peoples futures and businesses
large and small and it would help the people and
the economy vastly more than the 83 bureau-
cracies and their 30 rings of Hades.
That goes for the trillions spent on government
giveaways since LBJs Great Society of the 60s.
We spent 10-15 trillion on the war on poverty and
poverty won.
How can anyone believe these programs work?
The evidence is right there in front of you that
they dont, 10-15 trillion spent and more people
on welfare and food stamps than ever before.
Its nuts. If that 10-15 trillion had been left with
the people and businesses who earned it would
have been vastly more helpful than 83 govern-
ment programs.

The days are getting shorter, Eastern Standard Time has arrived
and we may be finding ourselves more indoors these days. Vitamin
D, the sunshine vitamin has resurged as a vitamin which we may be
more deficient in.
It is a steroid which helps us absorb calcium into our bones, mus-
cles and tissues. Vitamin Dalso has shown to play a part in reducing
risk for colorectal, prostate and breast cancer as well as cardiovascu-
lar disease, including high blood pressure and autoimmune disease
like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and Crohns disease.
Vitamin D can be found in two forms: vitamin D3, the form your
skin makes in response to sun exposure, and that which is found in
foods naturally. The secondform, vitaminD2, is the formavailable in
dietary supplements and is added to certain foods. It is measured in
international units (IU) where1IUis 0.025micrograms of vitaminD.
How much do we need a day? Adults 19-70 years and teens need
600 IU daily. Adults 71 years and older need 800 IU.
Vitamin D3 is found in the following foods:
Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled, 1 large - 44IU
Cereal, ready-to-eat, 3/4 - 1 cup 40 or more IU
Orange juice, fortified with vitamin D, 1/2 cup - 68 IU
Milk, fluid, with vitamin D added, 1 cup - 108-128 IU
Sardines, canned in oil, 3 ounces - 164 IU
Salmon (sockeye), cooked, 3 ounces 447IU- other types 3.5 ounc-
es - 360 IU (As well as other oily fish like trout, mackerel, herring,
fresh tuna, anchovies, swordfish, and orange roughy)

Dietary Supplements at the National Institute of Health at http://

Looking for a new pharmacy? Dont want to go to a chain?
Now is a good time to join our family
provisions of the state drilling
impact fee law overturned by
the Commonwealth Court this
summer, which established
statewide uniform zoning
rules. He said uniformity in
zoning regulations protect
landowner property rights and
prevent municipalities from
impeding industrial devel-
opment by effectively zoning
out drilling.
They should not have the
power to shut down gas drill-
ing in a municipality or pass
an ordinance requiring obscene
amounts of real estate around
some well to drill there, he
said.
120th District
Phyllis Mundy said she is
running because she still has
work ahead.
Over the last 22 years I
have accumulated a wealth of
knowledge, experience, ex-
pertise in the issues that are
important to the people I rep-
resent, Mundy said. I still
have the energy and the desire
to continue to serve and so
thats why Im running again.
Looking back on her last
term representing the 120th
District, Mundy named three
earmarks and three laws as her
greatest recent accomplish-
ments. She secured million-
dollar earmarks for The Lands
at Hillside Farms, the Hoyt
Library and the West Pittston
Memorial Library and author-
ed bills to reimburse family
members who care for elders
in the home, to enumerate a
Foster Childrens Bill of
Rights and to close a legal
loophole that created an in-
centive for drivers to flee the
scene of an accident if they
had been drinking.
Mundy said creating jobs
and spurring economic devel-
opment continues to be the
most pressing issue for her
constituents this election.
Mundy has also been a
staunch advocate for greater
regulation of natural gas drill-
ing in Pennsylvania. She pro-
posed a moratorium on new
Marcellus Shale drilling per-
mits in 2010 and introduced
subsequent bills to strengthen
environmental regulations on
gas drilling in Pennsylvania,
including a bill to track the
storage and disposal of drilling
waste water and to ban drilling
in flood plains. She supports a
severance tax on natural gas
above the impact fee rates
imposed by Act 13, which she
voted against, keeping zoning
authority over natural gas in-
stallations in the hands of
local officials and increasing
minimum setback distances to
ban drilling within 2,500 feet
of a primary water supply for
a community water system.
Kaufer said hes running to
tackle an issue Harrisburg has
ignored for too long: the
looming state employee pen-
sion crisis.
The problem began, accord-
ing to Kaufer, when state leg-
islators increased their own
pensions by 50 percent and
those of other state employees
by 25 percent in 2001. Ham-
pered by slow economic
growth in the decade since
and by losses in 2008, the
pension system is now $40
billion underfunded, and is
expected to be $65 billion
short by 2016,Kaufer said.
Kaufer said he supports as
a starting point a bill by state
Rep. Warren Kampf, R-Paoli,
Chester County, that would
replace pensions for new hires
of the state and school dis-
tricts with a contribution plan
similar to 401k, with the em-
ployer matching contributions
up to 4 percent.
He also supports new sourc-
es of revenue, including clos-
ing tax loopholes and further
taxing the Marcellus Shale,
and cutting the corporate tax
rate and offering tax credits to
companies that create jobs as
measures to increase state
revenue.
He supports a tax on natural
gas production above the im-
pact fee legislation already in
place, a position that runs
counter to that of Gov. Tom
Corbett and many Republican
legislators but is supported by
Democrats.
Kaufer said he thinks the
current impact fee, which
raised $204 million this year
for state, county and municipal
governments, falls short of
what the state could be taking
in with a tax similar to West
Virginias tax of 5 percent.

Pittston is off to a great start
in a campaign to add a police
dog to its force.
Councilman Mike Lombardo
said $5,000 has been raised,
enough to purchase the dog, but
anther $15,000 is needed for
training, accessories and dog
food.
We raised most of it by word
of mouth, Lombardo said.
People have been very kind so
far, dropping off donations at
City Hall.
Because of difficult financial
times, the city is unable to af-
ford a dog and officials are
moving forward with a plan to
raise funds independent of the
citys budget.
Patrolman Joseph Galeski, an
eight-year veteran of the Pitt-
ston Police Department, plans
to be the dogs handler and part-
ner. The dog would be trained in
narcotic detection and patrol
operations.
The department would also
commit to assisting neighboring
communities on an as-needed
basis, making the dog a regional
asset.
Lombardo said a Taylor po-
lice officer and his dog recently
visited Pittston City Hall and
gave officials a demonstration.
We were very impressed,
Lombardo said. A dog would
definitely be valuable to our de-
partment.
The city plans to work with
Alan Finns Designing Dogs, of
Old Forge, to obtain and train
the dog. Dr. Inayatullah H.
Kathio, of the Pittston Animal
Hospital, offered the depart-
ment free veterinary services
for the dog.
Already in the works is a let-
ter being sent to all local busi-
nesses, asking for financial
help. The letter will be mailed
in the next few weeks, Lombar-
do said.
The next fundraiser is a Ce-
lebrity Bartender night from 5
to 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 9 at the
Red Mill on 340 S. Main St. in
Pittston. All tips will be donated
to the cause, Lombardo said.
Officials already asked for
help from the Luzerne County
District Attorneys Office and
the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
tion regarding drug forfeiture
money.
An account was set up at
UFCW Credit Union. Contribu-
tions can be made payable to
Pittston City K-9 Fund, 35
Broad St., Pittston, PA 18640.

wilt and dry out quickly when left in the fridge. Increase
their shelf life by rinsing, chopping, and storing fresh
basil, rosemary, and other berbs in ice cube trays (in the

ess so far and, now, the reality
will be here soon. The staff and I
cannot wait to be able to use the
new space to provide expanded
services. We are planning al-
ready. Thank you to everyone in-
volved in the project to date and
to those who have made finan-
cial contributions. We encourage
everyone to visit the library to
view the plans and to participate
in the groundbreaking, said
Anne Hogya, library director
The expansion project is ex-
pected to cost an estimated $1.2
million. The new addition will
be built onto the rear of the cur-
rent library facility.
Included in the new addition
will be a state-of-the-art commu-
nity/conference center equipped
with a Smartboard, WiFi and a
video-conferencing system. The
center will be large enough to
hold 100 people and will be
available for community use for
conferences, meetings, presenta-
tions, programs and seminars.
The new addition will also
contain a larger childrens sec-
tions with additional book
stacks, four computer stations
and a play area; arts and crafts
room; teen space with age-ap-
propriate materials; kitchenette;
coat room; entrance with vesti-
bule for after-hours access; and
bathroom facilities.
Funding for the project will
come from a low-interest loan
from Department of Agriculture
Rural Development, which was
secured with the help of Sen.
Robert Casey; various govern-
mental, corporate and private
foundation grants; and a capital
campaign currently underway
and co-chaired by retired PA
State Rep. Tom Tigue, of Hugh-
estown, and Pat Solano, of Pitt-
ston Township, who has served
as a senior advisor to numerous
Pennsylvania governors.
Tigue headed a group of li-
brary representatives who joined
Cosgrove in Washington to
make the initial presentation to
Sen. Casey.
Construction is expected to
take six to seven months, de-
pendent upon the weather.
The Capital Campaign Com-
mittee is still seeking donations
and pledges. Arrangements can
be made to make donations or
pledges in installments. Call
Fundraising Director Carol
Crane at 654-9565 Ext. 25 for
additional information.

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.
New Mexicos Supreme Court has overturned
burglary convictions in two cases, saying
prosecutors and courts have gone too far in
expanding the crimes punished as felony
burglaries. In one case, a man was convicted
of burglary for punching a hole in a vans
gasoline tank to steal fuel. Another man
was convicted of burglary for removing a
vehicles rear wheels and front wheel lug
nuts. The court said those represent likely
misdemeanorsof larcenyorvehicletampering
but not burglary, which is the unauthorized
entry of a vehicle, boat, airplane or dwelling
to commit theft or any felony.
***
A new law in Illinois requires people 18
and older to wear a seat belt in the back
seat. Previously, back-seat passengers were
required to wear seat belts only if they were
younger than 18.
***
A new law in New York will keep closer tabs
on schools created to train adults for careers
in services and business. The law gives
the state Department of Education more
authority to make sure the schools are using
approved instruction methods and protecting
students fnances after they pay tuition.
There are more than 450 licensed, registered
or certifed schools instructing in various
trades statewide. But up to another 1,000 are
believed to be operating without a license.

Fourth down plays on two con-
secutive possessions late in the
fourth quarter were crucial. Both
of them worked for Wyoming
Area in their 27-20 win over Pitt-
ston Area at Charlie Trippi Sta-
dium Friday night.
With a little over five minutes
left PAhad a 4th-and-1at the WA
24 with WA clinging to a 21-20
lead. PA tried a fullback trap to
get the yard but Trent Grove and
Alex Gercak stopped it and WA
took over.
The Warriors drove to the PA
27 where they faced a 4th-and-3.
WA quarterback Nick OBrien,
the Falcone MVP winner, faked
a hand off to Zack LaNunziata,
spun to his right into a gaping
hole and ran untouched into the
endzone to make it 27-20 with
only 1:15 left.
WA went for two on a run,
hoping to go up two scores, but
PA stuffed it, setting up a heart-
pounding ending.
Starting from their own 41 af-
ter the kick off, PA quarterback
James Emmett kept his cool and
engineereda drive connectingon
25 and 15-yard completions to
Joe Starinsky for first downs,
then spiking the ball to stop the
clock.
With 39 seconds left Emmett
tried to connect with Jordan
Houseman over the middle in the
back of the endzone, but
OBrien stepped in front of

Houseman for an interception to
seal the game.
With the interception added to
his 154 yards rushing, three
touchdowns and a touchdown
pass, OBrien was an easy
choice for MVP, but had one or
two more plays gone PAs way
Joe Starinsky would have taken
home Falcone 35.
Starinsky, generously listed at
5-7 and 160, caught six of PAs
nine receptions for 110 yards and
returnedaninterception70yards
for a touchdown.
In the first half it looked like
the Warriors might pull away.
After a hiccup on their first pos-
session when they lost a fumble
at the PA10, PA went three-and-
out and punted to the WA45. On
first down OBrien rolled to his
right and threwback to his left to
Jordan Zezza for a 37-yard gain
to the PA18. It took four running
plays from there, including a 9-
yard run by LaNunziata, to get to
the PA 2, from where OBrien
snuck for his first Td. The point
was missed at it was 6-0 with
5:55 to go in the first.
The Warriors made it 14-0 on
the first play of the second quar-
ter when OBrien, after dropping
the snap in the shotgun, picked
the ball up and threw a 38-yard

Caked in mud with turf stuck
on his helmet, Wyoming Area
senior quarterback Nick
OBrien beamed as he watched
Carmen Falcone help his father
Sam bring the 35th Carmello
Falcone MVP Trophy onto the
field.
Once he held it OBrien said,
It feels great. Its a huge win to
beat Pittston our rival. They say
its a rivalry and it is, but, you
know, we have friends over there,
too.
OBrien is linked to former
Wyoming Area great Jim Piza-
no, who set the program rushing
record in1993. Earlier in the sea-
son OBrien surpassed that ca-
reer record.
On Friday OBrien equaled
another Pizano feat by winning a
second Falcone MVP Trophy.
Before Friday Pizano had been
the only player to win two Fal-
cones in the 34 year history of
the award which dates to 1978.
Just as Pizano did, OBrien
won the awards as a sophomore
and senior.
He was an incredible player,
OBrien said. I heard all the sto-
ries about him. I wasnt even
born yet and he was running
down the field, so to be com-
pared to him, its an awesome
feeling.
OBrien said the Patriots
played with heart, even when
theyfell behind. We came out in
the first half and punched them
in the mouth. It got a little iffy in
the second half, but we pulled to-
gether to get the win. Im very
proud of our team.
In the do-it-all department,
OBrien rushed for 152 yards
and two Tds, threwa Td pass, re-
turned a punt for a Td and inter-
cepteda pass inthe endzone with
39 seconds left on a play that
could have tied or won the game
for Pittston Area.
Had Pittston Area pulled out
the win, the MVP would likely
have been PA receiver Joe Sta-
rinsky. He caught six passes for
110 yards and returned an inter-
ception 70 yards for a Td.

Long before Old Forge wrap-
ped up an unbeaten football reg-
ular season with back-to-back
mismatches against under-
manned and overmatched Holy
Cross and Susquehanna, who
they beat Saturday, 49-6, the
Blue Devils showed their capa-
bilities with dominant efforts
against far more difficult compe-
tition.
The Blue Devils turned show-
downs with other teams from
among the states elite Class A
programs into two more exam-
ples of their ability to control all
facets of a football game.
One week after holding Dun-
more without a first down during
a 21-0 shutout in a meeting of top
10 teams, according to the Har-
risburg Patriot-News poll, the
Blue Devils racked up five first-
half touchdowns while destroy-
ing arch rival Riverside, a 2010
state finalist, 54-7.
I think they understand, said
Old Forge coach Mike Schu-
back, whowas a startinglineman
on the schools 1987 team that
went unbeaten in the regular sea-
son and was honored in ceremo-
nies prior to a win over Carbon-
dale. This is a once-in-a-life-
time chance to show where they
want to leave their legacy as an
Old Forge football player.
Those wins over Dunmore and
Riverside, which brought Old
Forge to the halfway point in a
10-0 regular season, showed
what could be ahead, but the
Blue Devils may be required to
repeat them.
The District 2 Class Aplayoffs
open Friday night with Old
Forge at home in a rematch with
Riverside.
A week later, Lackawanna
Football Conference Division 2
champion Dunmore may have a
shot at avenging its only loss, if it
beats Lackawanna Trail in the
other semifinal and Old Forge
gets past Riverside.
Our kids are totally focused
ongettingbacktowhere theyleft
off, said Schuback, whose son
Shane is a two-way starter and
one of the teams defensive lead-
ers. This is no disrespect to any-
one, but our kids are very excited
about the situation theyve put
themselves in.
Theyve worked very hard to
get to that point.
Only three opponents have
managed to even remain com-
petitive against the defending
Class A champions while Old
Forge was leading the 36 District
2 football schools in both most
points scored and fewest points
allowed.
The Blue Devils entered Sat-
urday afternoons season finale
in the mud and muck at Susque-
hanna averaging 44.1 points per
game while giving up just 8.0.
The Blue Devils showed they
can move the ball, often with
ease, on the ground or through
the air while outrunning and out-
hitting the teams they line up
against.
Only Lake-Lehman, a District
2 playoff qualifier in Class AA,
managed a lead on Old Forge.
Way back on Opening Night, the
Black Knights scored first and
remained tied until the final sec-
onds of the first half.
They quickly wound up facing
the same fate that was ahead for
others when Brian Tomasetti and
Anthony Piccolini scored two
third-quarter touchdowns each
on the way to a 50-14 romp.
The only time Old Forge did
not score at least 42 points in the
first six games of the season was
the Dunmore game when the
Bucks stayed within a score at
the half of a 21-0 loss.
Carbondale was within 16-8
when it scored in the first minute
of the second half in the most
challenging of the five games in
the second half of the season,
which led to the latest LFCDivi-
sion 3 championship.
Before long, however, the
Blue Devils were back in com-
mand and coasting to a 35-8 win.
A 35-14 Week Seven romp
over playoff-bound Lackawanna
Trail, in a game that was 29-0 at
halftime, virtually assured the
Blue Devils of their fourth divi-
sion title in the last five seasons.
Old Forge has won 25 of its last
26 games in the division.
Tomasetti and Brenden Wahl
easily surpassed the 1,000-yard
marks inrushingandpassingina
season full of highlight-reel per-
formances.
Along the way Wahl has com-
pleted more than 60 percent of
his passes and Tomasetti has
pulled double duty by destroying
opposing passing attacks by re-
turning four interceptions at
least 45 yards, including three
for touchdowns.
Wahl had three touchdowns
passes of at least 39 yards in the
second quarter of a breakout per-
formance against Meyers in
Week Two. He finished 8-for-9
for 258 yards and four touch-
downs in the 42-7 rout.
The Blue Devils set a school
record for points in a half by get-
ting all their scoring in a 56-7
demolition of Holy Redeemer.
Tomasetti needed only10 carries
for 213 yards and three of his
four touchdowns. The other
came on one of his two intercep-
tions.
Dunmore went into the battle
of unbeatens missing key players
to injuries and was outgained
154-19 in the first half of what
became Old Forges first victory
over the Bucks since 1980.
Thats a huge deal, Tomaset-
ti said after the win. Theyre a
great program so we figured if
we get a win here tonight, it
would be a big steppingstone for
our program.
Tomasetti followed up that ef-
fort with 223 yards and six
touchdowns rushing in the 47-
point blowout of Riverside that
was the largest margin of victory
in 66 meetings with teams from
Taylor since 1916.
Tomasetti ran for 205 more
yards against Lackawanna Trail.
Wahl went 12-for-17 for 268
yards against Carbondale, in-
cluding six straight completions
for 182 yards and two touch-
downs in a10-minute stretch that
restored order after the Chargers
threatened in the second half.
That was the last time anyone
got close.
Old Forge scored on half of its
first 14 offensive plays against a
Holy Cross teamthat forfeited to
Dunmore earlier in the year
when it became shorthanded be-
cause of the impact of injuries on
an already thin roster.
Susquehanna, the last team to
beat Old Forge in the division on
the same field in the 2010 finale,
came dangerously close to the
same roster dilemmas that inter-
rupted the Holy Cross season
and was no threat in the finale.

PA punted on the first posses-

looked miserable on theirs. Two
penalties and a fumbled snap put
them in a 4th-and 24.
After the punt PA took over at
their own 25 and drove for a Td

Youth field hockey club
openings
The KaPow Hockey Klub is a
field hockey club for players ag-
es 5 - 18 years old run by local
Olympian Lauren Powley,
Wyoming Seminary High, Uni-
versity of Maryland, and Nation-
al Team from 2005 - 2010, in-
cluding the 2008 Beijing Olym-
pics.
From all of these experience
she has put together a program
that exposes athletes to high lev-
el training and all of the outside
factors that can help make a
player the best they can be: men-
tal training, nutrition guidance,
strength and conditioning train-
ing, community service pro-
jects, and recruiting guidance.
One of Laurens main focuses
is to get players between 5 - 12
years old to get a stick in their
hands. She saw first hand in
Holland the benefit of starting
the sport at a young age. It be-
comes much more natural for
the players as they grow up with
the sport and learn how to really
maneuver the stick and field
awareness. KaPow knows that it
is important to focus on the ba-
sics and keep it fun for this age
group. Please check out the web-
site (www.kapowfieldhock-

Forty Fort, passed away peace-
fully, Friday, Oct. 26, 2012, at
Golden Living Center, East
Mountain, after alongbattlewith
cancer with his loving family by
his side. Stephenfacedhis illness
with courage and bravery rarely
seen, to which his many caregiv-
ers over the years will attest, put-
ting others before himself right
up until the end. These same ca-
regivers would also fondly recall
his stubbornness as well.
Stephen was born in Wilkes-
Barre, July 9, 1959, a son of Tho-
mas and Carol Roccograndi, of
Forty Fort. Stephen did not have
the easiest life. He truly was a
miracle, having beaten the odds
and surviving a terrible battle
with tuberculosis, during which
he was given last rights twice be-
fore he was 2 years old.
He lived a happy childhood,
but as an adult he faced many
challenges. But through it all he
kept us laughing. He was known
for his kindness and selflessness,
the twinkle inhis eye andhis silly
and cute little grin.
Stephen was such a sweet, po-
lite and gentle man and everyone
that knew and cared for him
couldnt helpbut lovehim. Here-
ally made a
lasting impres-
sion on people,
never forget-
ting a name
once he was in-
troduced. He
was ever thankful and generous
to all who crossed his path. Ste-
phen will be sadly missed by all
those whose lives he touched.
Stephen had an adventurous
spirit and was a true wanderer!
Short or long distances, it didnt
matter.
Stephen attended Wyoming
Valley West schools, worked at
the family-owned business, My
Brothers Place Home Improve-
ment Center, The Greenhouse
Center, Wilkes-Barre, and most
recently was a volunteer at the
SPCA, Plains Township. He had
a love for all animals and was al-
ways available to remove even a
spider, after which he would take
it outside and set the spider free.
In addition to his parents, Ste-
phen is survived by his sisters,
Carolyn Roccograndi Mazur,
Forty Fort; Linda Roccograndi
Bravyak and husband, Jack, For-
ty Fort; brothers, Thomas, of Lu-
zerne; Gary and wife, Judie, of
West Wyoming; David, of Prin-
gle; James and his partner, Au-
drey Marut, of Forty Fort; in ad-
dition to many nieces, nephews
and a large extended family.

The Federal Emergency
Management Agency and the
Commonwealth of Pennsylva-
nia recently approved a
$2,576,094 grant to West Pitt-
ston Borough for debris re-
moval associated with Tropi-
cal Storm Lee.
The borough utilized emer-
gency contracting procedures
to obtain the services of debris
removal contractors. More
than 6,400 tons of debris were
removed and hauled to a li-
censed landfill in the county.
Under FEMAs Public As-
sistance (PA) Program, fund-
ing is provided to the Com-
monwealth, eligible local gov-
ernments and certain private
nonprofit organizations on a
cost-sharing basis. The grant
represents a 75 percent federal
share and a 25 percent Com-
monwealth share of the project
costs.
FEMA is responsible for
managing the program, ap-
proving grants and providing
technical assistance to the
Commonwealth and appli-
cants. The Commonwealth
educates potential applicants,
works with FEMA to manage
the program and PEMA is re-
sponsible for implementing
and monitoring the grants
awarded under the program.
Local officials are respon-
sible for identifying damage,
providing information neces-
sary for FEMA to approve
grants, and managing each
project funded under the pro-
gram.
Total federal grants for pub-
lic assistance projects are ex-
pected to top $175 million.
Combined federal and state as-
sistance for the two disasters,
Hurricane Irene and Tropical
Storm Lee, is expected to top
$233million.
