at noon.
I took my brother Bill out for
lunch a few weeks ago and as I
paid the bill, right there next to
the register at Agolinos Restau-
rant were packets of Howards
Scented Gum. I hadnt seen it
in years but I recognized the
distinct purple packaging in-
stantly. Some people call it
Chowards gum, because the
logo is designed with a large C
in front of the word Howards,
but the C is for C. Howards,
after Charles Howard, who
started the company in the
1930s.
Howards is famous for its
scented gum and violet mints.
Both are not only colored violet
but also taste like violet, if
violet can be a flavor. The gum
comes Chicklet-style in small
candy-coated squares. I love it.
But thats not the reason I
bought it that day.
I bought it because Howard
was my dads first name.
Outside of Agolinos I pop-
ped a piece into my mouth and
handed the packet to Bill say-
ing, Here, I bought these be-
cause Dads name is on it.
Yeah, he said taking the
packet, these and Loudons
cough drops.
What on earth are you talk-
ing about? I asked.
Loudons cough drops, he
repeated. Dads name is writ-
ten all over those too.
No, I said. Not written all
over it, written right on it. Ho-
ward. See, the name Howard in
on the package.
I guess it was one of those
had to be there moments, but
Im laughing even now as I
write it.
Thinking about it also got me
to thinking about other such
communication mishaps.
One was at the Dispatch
some time ago when Richard B.
Cosgrove, who passed away
just about a year ago, was ad-
vertising manager. He returned
to the office to a message that
Peter Schuster called. The prob-
lem was Dick Cosgrove did not
know any Peter Schusters and
racked his brain all afternoon
trying to figure who the guy
was because he apparently
knew Dick so well he didnt
bother to leave a phone number.
The next morning, Dick had an
ah ha moment, blurting out,
Peters Shoe Store.
I was the one getting things
bass-ackward, as they say, last
year in an advertising class I
teach at the college. I give stu-
dents an assignment to re-posi-
tion a product. That means to
take a product everyone is fa-
miliar with and try to get the
public to view it as something
different. Its not easy, I say,
citing orange juice which had a
campaign several years ago
touting Its not just for break-
fast any more. Guess what?
The public heartily disagreed.
No one was about to order
orange juice with pizza. It most
certainly was just for breakfast
and that was that.
It makes for an interesting
assignment and I tell the stu-
dents to have fun with it.
One young lady, who grew
up in Russia but spoke only
slightly accented English told
me she was going to re-position
Roman Numerals. Great idea,
I said. I can see it now: Make
the Super Bowl numbers youre
numbers.
Then I looked at her comput-
er screen and saw a picture of
Ramen Noodles. Oh, thatll
work too, I said.
Moments later she told me
she decided to re-position chop
sticks. Great idea, I said.
Theres all kinds of things
people can do with chop sticks
other than just eat Chinese
food.
Then I looked at her comput-
er screen and saw a picture of
Chapstick.
I kept my mouth shut for the
rest of the class.
One of the best such commu-
nication breakdowns, though,
might be this one involving the
late John Mack McNulty,
who was a high school class-
mate of mine and a very good
friend.
Mack was coaching junior
football and teaching the kids
an offensive play. He told the
one player that he needed to
delay at the start of the play
to fake out the defense. When
the ball is snapped, Mack told
him, dont start running imme-
diately. Say to yourself, one
thousand one, one thousand
two, and then go.
But when Mack blew his
whistle to start the play and the
ball was snapped, the kid stayed
down in his football stance and
didnt move at all. The other
kids were running around and
this little guy remained perfect-
ly still.
Mack blew the whistle again
signaling everyone to stop and
walked over to the boy, who
was still not moving. What are
you doing? Mack said.
You told me to count to one
thousand and two, the boy
answered.
What are you up to now,
Mack said, struggling to hold in
his laughter.
Seventeen, the boy answer-
ed.
Clearly, communication is
not as easy as it seems.

A group of 30 Wyoming Ar-
ea School District teachers
staged an informational picket
before Tuesdays regular school
board meeting, calling attention
to the fact theyve been work-
ing for three years under an
expired contract.
All were asking for is a fair
contract, said Lisa Barrett,
president of the Wyoming Area
Education Association.
Teachers, in nearly freezing
temperatures outside, held
signs that read, Invest in your
kids and teachers. Contract
now! and No more excuses.
Settle the contract now!
The last negotiation session
was Dec. 20, 2012, and it in-
cluded Superintendent Ray
Bernardi, board member Frank
Casarella and negotiator Jack
Dean representing the district,
said Barrett.

160 teachers in the five
Wyoming Area schools.
Barrett made a brief
statement to the board dur-
ing its session. As the rep-
resentative of the teachers
union, she said, Wed like
to settle a new contract
with you.
Both Barrett and School
Board President John Bolin
said they couldnt go into
details about specific is-
sues.
We look forward to
meeting and coming to an
agreement, Bolin said.
Other than that, I really
cant say much.
He indicated Dean will
be contacting Holland to
set up a new session, but
nothing has been finalized.
Barrett, a career technol-
ogy teacher, said the con-
tract expired on Aug. 31,
2010. When school started
on Aug. 28, all the teachers
were advanced a step.
The chart has 16 steps

cation at a masters degree

distributed and walk-throughs were scheduled,
Bernardi said.
We wanted the chiefs and the police force to
come in and get familiar with our buildings, he
said.
Walk-throughs were already performed at all
the elementary schools and one is scheduled at
the Secondary Center for Monday.
Also, anactive shooter drill will be performed
with state and local police.
The training will encompass how first re-
sponders, includingschool officials, will handle
an active shooter situation, Bernardi said.
He said all police chiefs, in addition to the fire
chiefs, haveakeytoall theschools KnoxBoxes,
which is are external wall-mounted safes that
hold building keys for fire or emergency situa-
tions.
He said the district has submitted a $400,000
grant application to the state Department of
Community and Economic Development to ret-
rofit all the entrances of the schools with bullet
resistant glass.
Lockdown drills were held on Jan. 10 and11.
A countywide school security audit was per-
formed by a national security firm, in partner-
shipwiththeLuzerneIntermediateUnit, andthe
district is analyzing results.

I would like to thank my wonderful daughter-in-law, Sarah Lispi,
who coordinated Beneft for Brenda to help in my battle with
Glioblastoma Mutiforme brain cancer. I am truly grateful for her
kindness and thoughtfulness in planning this event. I am
appreciative to all who assisted and attended the beneft at Tonys
Pizza. Tonys provided an excellent venue. We would also like to
thank them for their help in sponsoring the beneft.
The proceeds will be used for my cancer treatments, care,
and therapy that I receive locally, as well as at the University of
Pennsylvania Hospital. Its been overwhelming to have the sup-
port from all my friends, family and co-workers; and I would like to
thank everyone for their continued thoughts and prayers.
With Sincere Gratitude,

It has that new ambulance
smell.
The Pittston Township Ambu-
lance Association added a new
vehicle to its fleet last Saturday,
allowing two ambulances to be
on the road
simultane-
ouslyif need-
ed.
Don Hud-
zinski Sr.,
president of
the associ-
ation, said
the $179,315
ambulance
was fully
paid for with
tax revenue.
This is
the first time
well have
two vehicles
on the
street, Hudzinski said.
The association goes on 600 to
700 calls a year, Hudzinski said,
and has 25 paid and volunteer
members.
The growth in the township,
primarily the Walmart Super-
center area, and new industrial
parks, including CenterPoint
East and West, have caused a
greater amount of traffic through
the township. And with more
traffic often comes more acci-
dents.
The 2012 Ford E450 chassis
was manufactured by PL Cus-
tomof Manasquan, N.J., and was
purchased through Spitler Sales
of Williamsport.
The new vehicle and the asso-
ciations 2004 International are
similar in appearance and phys-
ical layout.
This will allow EMS crew to
use either
truck with-
out addition-
al training
on the loca-
tion of the
medical
equipment
and suppli-
es.
The vehi-
cle will now
need to be
properly
stocked with
the neces-
sary medical
supplies and
equipment
along with the installation of ra-
dios/communication equipment.
Once that is completed, the
state Department of Health will
inspect the vehicle and issue a li-
cense. It is anticipated to have
the new vehicle on the street and
in service within the next 30
days. Fully stocked, the cost of
the truck will be in excess of
$200,000.
Once licensed, we will have
two vehicles in service and will
utilize themas needed, Hudzin-
ski said.
They will rotate the old and
new ambulance and wont have
to rely on neighboring commu-
nities if one is being serviced or
repaired.
Hudzinski said the new appa-
ratus is a benefit to anyone who
passes through the township.
It increases our reliabilityand
keeps us out on the road and on
calls, he said.
The current station on Bryden
Street only houses one vehicle,
so the other vehicle will be kept
at the fire companys Suscon sta-
tion. Hudzinski hopes one day
the facility will be expanded at
BrydenStreet sobothambulanc-
es can be stationed there.
The association services an ar-
ea thats 17 square miles with
more than 3,700 residents. Be-
tween 60,000 and 70,000 people
travel through the township dai-
ly, across two Interstates (81 and
476) anda state andfederal high-
way. There are three industrial
parks, two expanding commer-
cial districts, numerous residen-
tial areas, a juvenile detention
center and the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton International Airport.

Over Two Decades
Motorists headed in or out of
Old Forge face a detour as the
72-year-old Main Street Bridge
is demolished and replaced.
The work, which is expected
to take about a year, will incon-
venience cars, but a larger incon-
venience is expected for tractor
trailers.
The car detour for southbound
traffic leaving Old Forge is Main
Street to Bridge Street to Lone-
some Road back to Main Street,
just past the bridge. The north-
bound detour entering Old Forge
will take drivers from Main
Street to Lonesome Road to
Bridge Street and back on Main.
A traffic light was installed at
the intersection of Lonesome
and Bridge streets.
For trucks, its a little more
complicated because trucks
arent permitted under the low
underpass on Lonesome Road.
The truck detour for south-
bound traffic is SR 3024 to
Bridge Street to Foote Avenue to
York Avenue to U.S. Route 11 in
Avoca to Main Street near the
Moosic Diner. Northboundis the
reverse of that.
In addition to the replacement
of the state-owned Main Street
Bridge, there is also a county
bridge closed on SR 3024 in
Moosic. The detour for that
bridge is:
Car detour for southbound
traffic is SR 3024 to Spring
Street to US 11 to Main Street
near the Moosic Diner (reverse
for northbound).
Truck detour for southbound
traffic is SR 3024 to Bridge
Street to Foote Avenue to York
Avenue to Main Street (US11) to
Main Street near Moosic Diner
(reverse for northbound)
Only two businesses, Heers
Express Mart and the Old Forge
Animal Hospital, owned by Dr.
Mohamed Gad, are directly af-
fected by the detour.
Alisha Blackwell, a worker at
Heers, said cars have been turn-
ing around after passing the de-
tour sign all day.
I guess its new so they dont
knowabout it yet, she said. But
its been on the news all week.
She said the signs for the de-
tour are directly at the detour and
it would be a good idea to warn
motorists earlier.
Old Forge Officer in Charge
Kim Buggey doesnt expect any
major problems because the de-
tour is less than a half-mile.
Its such a small detour, she
said. But when you have a road-
way that changes direction, there
couldbe problems. Well keepan
eye out.
Separate traffic detours listed for cars and trucks as 72-year-old span is replaced
OF bridge work to take a year
Motorists headed into Old Forge are detoured before the Main Street Bridge on Thursday. The bridge
project by PennDOT is expected to take about a year.

ofce for an appointment; that you
expect to meet with them when
preparing to give your statement
to the defendants insurance
company; that you expect that they
accompany you to the doctors
ofce when the defense forces you
to undergo a medical exam. I dont
think youll nd one who will.

Loving care that lasts a lifetime.
Every year, a week is set aside
by the National Catholic Educa-
tional Association to nationally
celebrate Catholic education.
This year Catholic Schools
Raise the Standards will be cel-
ebrated with various activities
from January 27 to February 2.
Principal Christopher Tigue of
Wyoming Area Catholic School
(WAC) in Exeter, who has been
involved in the Catholic School
system since 1998, says his fa-
vorite part of the school year is
National Catholic Schools
Week. My favorite day is Mis-
matched Day, Tigue said, the
kids get a chance to wear some-
thing crazy for a day, and we (the
staff) get the chance to see a part
of their personalities that we nor-
mally wouldnt because of the
school uniforms.
According to Kathy Gilmar-
tin, principal of Holy Rosary
School in Duryea, Catholic
Schools Week is important be-
cause it gives students a time to
step back fromthe academia and
enjoy themselves in a good envi-
ronment, as well as a fun way for
parents and teachers to come to-
gether. Alot of times we are ve-
ry involved in what were doing,
Gilmartin said, and I think this
time gives us a chance to really
look at the big picture of Cathol-
ic education. All 280 kids are ex-
cited for this coming week!
On Sunday, both schools will
host open houses. Holy Rosary
will have live performances of
historical topics and themes
from students participating in
National History Day, a compe-
tition-based program where stu-
dents present projects in the
CATHOL I C SCHOOL S WEEK
Keeping standards high

For
form of exhibits, performances,
original papers, websites and
documentaries. Gilmartin said
the live performances are always
a source of great excitement and
entertainment for those attend-
ing the open house.
Tigue said spotlighting the
childrens projects is an impor-
tant aspect of Catholic schools
Week. The exhibits are a good
way to give parents something in
return, he said. Its also great to
showthe parents of potential stu-
dents that the academic stan-
dards are high in Catholic
Schools, not only our religious
ones.
Carrie Maciejczyk, who has
twin boys in second grade at
WAC, said knowing her boys
will be safe when she sends them
to class is a big factor in contin-
uing to send her sons to a Cathol-
ic school.
They have a no-bullying pol-
icy, she said, and my boys will
grow up with a deeper under-
standing about what it means to
be a Catholic.
Every morning, the 200 stu-
dents of WAC recite a No
Taunting pledge with their
morning prayers. I will do my
part to make my community a
safe place by being more sensi-
tive to others, they say. I will
not let my words or actions hurt
others.
According Tigue, the No
Taunting Pledge helps the school
provide a safe environment. If
the students are reminded of this
pledge every single day, it helps
put their minds at ease, he said,
and when the students feel safe,
their minds are open to learning
and becoming the best person
they can be.
Gilmartin said the theme for
this years Catholic Schools
Week reinforces those objec-
tives. Our goal is to teach these
children that when they become
adults, they can be the change,
they can make a difference, she
said. They can become leaders
and peacemakers in the world
while spreading the Word of
God.

Question
West Pittston
School District
was looking
toward 1958 in
hopes of putting
what school activ-
ity back in the black?
1958 55 years ago
Requests by the Pennsylvania
State Education Association, if
complied with, would cost the
West Pittston School District
approximately $3,300. The
association requested that the
school pay the cost of Blue
Cross insurance for teachers,
that a $50 increment be given
for each additional 15 approved
credits a teacher had beyond a
masters degree and that all
teachers with 30 years or more
with the district be given a
$200 annual increase.
Bob Shimkoski, Danny
Polorecki, Tonny Patte, John
Czar, John Sudol, Joseph
Shambe, James Pribula, Ron-
nie Timinski and Bob Barnak
were members of the varsity
basketball team at Dupont High
School. The young men were
coached by Guy Costello.
In 1930, August J. Lippi
began his association with The
First National Bank in Exeter
while serving as president of
the United Mine Workers of
District 1. Eventually, he be-
came chairman of the board of
the bank. Upon the death of
bank president William Clark,
he was elected as the fourth
succeeding president.
1968 45 years ago
The Avoca Lions held its 18th
anniversary Charter Night din-
ner, paying special homage to
Dr. Lewis C. Druffner Sr. in
recognition of his 50 years of
service in Avoca.
A poetic tribute written by
Charles J. Golden was read at
the event honoring the dedi-
cated physician.
Druffner is the father of Dr.
Lewis Druffner Jr. who is The
Sunday Dispatch 2012 Joseph
A. Saporito Lifetime of Service
Award Winner.
Here is an excerpt from the
poem published in the Sunday
Dispatch in 1968.
We have often thought that as
a doctor
In your make-up, you had an
angelic strain
For regardless of weather,
time of day
You came forth to relive our
pain
Perhaps a broken arm up at
Houston City,
Toughers Patch pneumonia,
heavy cold
Lidys Road someone has
been badly burned
Little York the ills, complaints
of the old.
Remember the incident at
Dupont
When a demented man met
you with a gun
When you were on a mercy
call
For your life you had to run
There are lots more incidents
to write about
Some of sadness when death
was near,
The joys, thrills of a new
baby
Where you assist nature, the
mother we revere.
Well today, we meet to do
honor
Pay tribute to a life well spent
Today we say Thanks as we
bow our heads,
Knowing that from Heaven to
us, you were sent.
Charles J. Golden
Jan. 20, 1968
Making a presentation of a
commemorative plaque were
Lions Frank Hayden, Joseph
Wroblewski Jr., Dr Lewis C.
Druffner Jr., Austin OMal-
ley, Dr. Leonard Towlen, Ha-
rold Davies, John Coffee Jr.
and Avoca Mayor James
McLane.
The Hughestown Hose Com-
pany Auxiliary held their elec-
tion of officers. Mrs. Francis
Carey, vice president, installed
new officers: Mrs. Donald
Booth, president; Mrs. James
Bell, vice president; Mrs. Mar-
tin Melvin, secretary; Mrs.
Ronald Helreigel, treasurer;
Mrs. Clarence Hensley Jr.,
publicity chairman.
Eleven properties were slated
to be demolished by the Rede-
velopment Authority of Pitt-
ston. Some of the properties
were on the right of way of the
proposed new Kennedy Boule-
vard, which would extend from
the Fort Jenkins Bridge to East
Columbus Avenue while others
were in the vicinity of and on
Tompkins Street. Medico build-
ings, The Moran and Independ-
ent Beef Houses, Ruccos Caf
and some Tompkins Street
homes were among the proper-
ties due to be razed.
1978 35 years ago
The Excelsior Hose Compa-
ny in Duryea suffered a devas-
tating fire in January 1978.
Firemen from Brookhaven
Volunteer Fire Department
outside of Philadelphia heard of
the loss and quickly called
Excelsior Fire Chief Ed Scoda
to donate their 1956 Ward La-
France Pumper to the stricken
company. Chief Scoda and
three assistants Dave Scoda,
Ron Wolcott and Bill Yedesko
drove to Brookhaven to accept
their generous offer. The four
men took turns driving the open
cab vehicle in extremely cold
weather back to Duryea and an
automotive garage owned by
Walter Naylor, who donated
one of his stalls to house the
pumper.
The Pittston Library asked
fifth-grade students of St. John
the Baptist School if they
would like to write a letter to
President Jimmy Carter. The
youngsters were excited about
the idea. Some unedited letters
follow:
Dear Mr. President:
I am glad you are the presi-
dent, it must be hard to be Pres-
ident. But I hope you make the
wright decision for everyone.
Keep on Trying.
Your admiring citizen,
Stephen Girman
Dear Mr. Carter:
I would like to congratulate
you for winning and beginning
in the white house. I wish
someday I could be the presi-
dent and live in the white house
to have the country do what you
say. If I was I would lower taxes
and look for jobs for people
who need them.
Your friend,
Michael Valenti
Dear Mr. President:
I admire you for keeping the
country in such good order. I
cant even keep my homework
in good order.
Yours truly,
Mike McHugh
James Earl Carter Jr. served
as 39th president of the United
States from1977 to 1981. He
lost his bid for a second term to
Ronald Reagan. Minutes after
Carters term in office ended,
52 U.S. captives held at the U.S.
embassy in Iran were released,
ending the 444-day Iran hos-
tage crisis.
After the Agnes flood of
1972, Helene Wohlgemuth,
Secretary of the Department of
Public Welfare, recognized that
Wyoming Valley needed a so-
cial delivery system to aid in
recovery in case of disaster as
well as to provide a one-stop
shop for residents in need.
Through her efforts, the Penn-
sylvanias United Services
Agency was officially establish-
ed to integrate services provid-
ed by Child Welfare, day care,
Bureau for the Aging, adult
welfare and a list of other ser-
vices. Pittston Agency Manager
Nello Augustine, along with
Patricia Mentis, Joe Richie
and Robert McDonnell
worked to eliminate the bu-
reaucracy of governmental
agencies in the center and
provide services to residents of
Greater Pittston in need of
Dr. Druffner Sr. honored 45 years ago

This months Esquire magazine sug-
gests an appropriate over-under betting
line on number of Super Bowl commer-
cials featuring animals exhibiting human
characteristics is six.
That illustrates just how crazy Ameri-
cans can get when it comes to all things
Super Bowl.
There will be folks betting on howlong
the national anthem will take for crying
out loud.
We, on the other hand, are only interest-
ed in the prognostication abilities of Dis-
patch readers.
As we do for every Super Sunday issue
of the Dispatch, we are seeking predic-
tions fromlocal folks to be published next
Sunday.
Our goal is to collect as many as we can
and we once eclipsed the magic number
of 1,000.
That was for the Giants and Patriots
game in 2008. We usually get several
hundred at least.
It might be a bit harder this year with
none of the traditional local favorites in
the game but we have faith that our read-
ers will again come through.
And we ask those submitting a predic-
tion to give us a reason for their choice.
We do reserve the right to add a reason
for those who dont.
That can be fun.
Last time the Ravens were in the game
one reader predicted they would win be-
cause in mythology Ravens have magical
power.
Thats the kind of stuff we are looking
for.
Someone might say, for example, the
49ers will win because 4 and 9 add up to
13 and this is 2013. Its as good a reason as
any.
So, get those predictions into us as early
as you can. Wed like to have them all by
the end of the business day on Thursday
(thats 5 p.m.)
Email predictions to Jack Smiles at
jsmiles@psdispatch.com, drop them off
at the Dispatch office at 109 NewSt., Pitt-
ston (where you can also pick up forms
that you can bring to your workplace) or
call Jack and leave a message at 570-602-
0178.
Tokeepthings simple, sendtheminlike
this: Your name, teamthat will win, score,

I enjoyed the column about JoPa by Jack Smiles last Sunday
and it made me angry why one quote is so often used.( I wish I
had done more.) I would like to see someone write about his
comments fromthe book by Joe Posnanski in which he states the
following when Paterno asked what they are saying about him:
When told they were saying that he knew what Sandusky had
done and that he protected Sandusky instead of children Paterno
said, Howcould they think that? They really think that if I knew
someone was hurting kids I wouldnt stop it? Dont they know
me? Dont they know what my life has been about?
The book is the only place I have seen that.
I guess since that mayshedsome positive light onhim, Paterno
haters dont want to use it.
I admit I am biased when it comes to him but I find it hard to
Writer responses to Smiles Paterno column

OUROPINION GUESTOPINION
Note: John Rygiel and his wife Joanne celebrated their 55th
wedding anniversary Friday. He submitted this story which we
are pleased to share with our readers.
It must happen in the life of every young man. About the third
or fourth year in high school, one girl seems to stand out fromall
the rest. It happened to me and her name was Mary. She was very
pretty and a grade behind me. I watched her as we changed class-
es and followed her discreetly on my bike as she walked home
after school with her two girl friends. The three were always to-
gether. Nobody noticed I had my eye on her including Mary. In
fact she didnt know I existed.
Spring came along with the junior prom. One day at lunchtime
she came to me and said she wanted to ask me a question. Prom
coming? Question? My heart skipped a beat. Mary turned to her
two friends and asked, Should I ask him? They said, Sure.
Mary then asked me if I would ask my friend Joe if he would
ask her to go to the prom with him. My heart dropped. I said I
would ask him.
I didnt go to the prom that year.
Two years later, 1947-1948, we were all out of school and went
our separate ways. I became interested in photography and
hopedthat wouldbe mylifes work. I got draftedintothe Armyin
1951 and soon became an Official U.S. Army Photographer. I
was discharged in 1953.
In 1954, I spent a year in New York taking five different pho-
tography courses. I came home and opened my first studio, pho-
tographing weddings, making portraits of brides, families, ba-
bies and high school seniors.
One day I got a call from a local girl who was calling for her
sister whowas gettingmarriedandaskedwouldI photographher
in her wedding gown. Her sister was Mary, my heart-throb from
high school. I couldnt believe my ears. Of course I said yes.
Mary still looked pretty. Her gown was made of something I had
never seen before and would see only once again. It wasnt satin
or velvet and it wasnt just white. I asked her where she got the
gown and what the fabric was. She said a local dressmaker, also
named Mary, made it. The fabric was Silk Mist and it was Ice
Blue. I filed those four words in my mind for future reference.
My business was successful and I became the yearbook pho-
tographer for the local Nesbitt Hospital School of Nursing. It
didnt take long to notice a tall, blonde, beautiful student nurse. I
thought of her as a high class blonde the way she stood and
walked. I was afraid to speak to her except to say Hi.
Her name was JoAnne. I foundout years later that their mother
taught her girls to stand and walk erect. Soon it became two
months before graduation and it was, now or never. The Nesbit
family owned the hospital and nursing school. Just before gradu-
ation they had a pool party at their outdoor pool. Of course I had
to take pictures for the yearbook. At the edge of pool I took a
deep breath and asked JoAnne, When are you going to let me
take your picture?
Without hesitating she responded, Well, you never asked.
I almost fell into the pool. The next two minutes were critical. I
said, How about Friday? She said, Fine. Pick me up at the
nurses home. By 5:30 this beautiful high class blonde was sit-
tinginmycamera room. I posedher, movedthe lights andlooked
into the camera. I blinked my eyes in disbelief. She asked if
something was wrong. I said, No, I just knowyou will be in this
camera room many more times.
She asked what I meant. I said, Someday youll know.
We finished the sitting. Then she told me she was going to
Cape Cod for two weeks. Finally, on July 31, 1957, she got home
and we went on our first real date. With the exception of her
going away for two days to take State Boards, we were together
every single night until our wedding day.
We got engaged on September 11 and got married on January
25. The courtship took just 197 days.
Wedding plans were being made. Since I was a wedding pho-
tographer, JoAnne asked me where to shop for a gown. I didnt
have to search far into my brain for the answer. It had to be Mary
who made gowns. Soon we were with Mary who brought out
several catalogs of gowns. JoAnne pickedone that hada princess
line.
The question was asked about the fabric. I asked Mary, Some
years agoyoumade a gownfor a girl namedMary. It was made of
Silk Mist and it was Ice Blue. She said she remembered the girl
and the gown and pulled out a large bolt of fabric and placed it on
the counter. I looked at it, felt it and said, Thats it.
JoAnne looked at it, felt it and said, Thats it.
The wedding took place in Holy Family Church about 11miles
fromwhere I lived. The night before at the rehearsal I didnt have
the marriage license so I had to drive home and back with the
license. There wasnt a speck of snow on the ground. By nine
oclock the next morning, 12 inches of snow had fallen. There
were onlythree people onmyside of the churchmyparents and
my brothers wife. My brother was my best man. Minutes before
the ceremony, the altar boy came out with a white bucket and
placed it by the front pew. With all the snow, the roof leaked.
The organ started and JoAnnes three sisters each walked up
the aisle. The fourth was too young. Then, on the arm of her
father, walked my beautiful blonde nurse, soon to be my wife. As
they came close to the lights of the altar, she and the gown just
glowed. The gown was made of Silk Mist and it was Ice
Blue.
Happy anniversary, JoAnne. Its been 55 wonderful happy
years.

My name is Maria Ellaina Jiu-
nta Heck and I am a purger.
Nonot the kind that throws-up
a dinner of nachos, Tater Tots
and Slim Jims, the other kind.
Althoughsometimes I wish I
couldnever mind.
I throw things away and I can-
not stop. I can have my own real-
ity show, instead of Hoarders:
Buried Alive, we could call it
Purgers: Picked Clean.
I have such an aversion to clut-
ter that Ive become addicted to
eradicating superfluousstuff.
Over the years, my purging has
landed me in some familial hot
water, and more so recently, as
my children are becoming a little
bit more suspicious of where
things have gone. Theynolonger
believe the fairies have borrowed
their junk to take to needy chil-
dren who dont have enough of
their own junk. In their fairy hel-
icopter. Using their fairy fre-
quent flyer miles.
Its my 18-year-old son who
gets the most upset when he dis-
covers an item from his past has,
ummm, left the building. Like,
forever. A typical discussion:
Him: Mom! Where are my
Rams trophies?
Me: You mean the ones they
gave you for just showing up?
Those?
Him: YES! Theywere special!
Special Just -Showing-Up-Tro-
phies!
Me: Oh, listen, toots; they got
chucked a long, long time ago.
And, by the way, you never no-
ticed.
Him: Why do you always do
that??? You are throwing away
my entire childhood!
Me: Sheesh. Dramatic much?
If he only knew what else Ive
thrown away, he would launch
into a monumental apoplectic
meltdown. I mean, really, who
the hell said we have to save ev-
ery, stinking item from our kids
past? Child, please.this house
is not big enough for all the junk
that we think is a memory. Trust
me. This boy wont remember
his brief stint in mini football by
the time hes 28. Hell be too bu-
sy collecting shot glasses and
beer cans from around the world
by that point, anyway.
Listen, despite throwing away
my younger sons entire Power
Ranger collection and my
daughters Spice Girls Barbie
dolls (which she doesnt know
about, and
God willing,
you wont
tell her) Im
not com-
pletely
heartless.
Ive saved
some baby
clothes that
didnt have
vomit stains,
Girl Scout
badges, all
the wres-
tling medals
except for a few, and even baby
teeth! I think. Maybe not. Cant
recall.
I just dont get attached to very
many things. From my own
childhood, I have very little; a
few Barbie dolls and their
clothes that I made from wash-
cloths and cotton balls, en-
sconced in my zippy, orange pat-
ent-leather overnight bag from
4th grade. And I did manage to
abscond with one baby doll-
that my sister drew on with
magic marker because she want-
ed to make her more punk.
I must admit, I look at those
poor, homeless Barbies and I
guess sometimes I wish my
mother didnt throw away their
town house. Or, their 747 Jet in
case they want to fly to St. Croix
for the winter. Or their Special
Fold-Out Barbie Camper they
used exclusively with Ken.
These days, they just sort of lie
there, inert, in their ratty, old
clothes, in their ratty-old orange
patent-leather low income hous-
ing unit. Its sort-of sad.
Well, okay, I see the paral-
lelIm a daughter of a purger
and have become a purger my-
self. Now that weve talked it
through, I feel a modicum of re-
gret. But I still maintain that you
dont need the stuff to retain the
memories.
Will my daughter remember
winning a Young Authors
Award in 4th grade even if I mis-
takenly threw-out the plaque in
our last move? Of course she
will. Will Nicholas remember
his first pin as a wrestler in 2nd
grade even if I misplaced that
medal? Yes! We dont need
things! We just need each other.
We store our memories in a tight
little storage unit in our brain and
open the door every third day to
air out those recollections. You
cant do that with a Penn State
toilet seat cover or 113 Beanie
Babies!
I was chatting with one of our
favorite library patrons today
about my purging tendencies.
She was a little appalled. Shes
saved things you or I would nev-
er think to slip into a Ziploc bag-
gie and throwinto the attic for 25
years. She tells me she loves
looking at these things and can-
not part with them. They make
her happy. When pressed for fur-
ther details, she admitted she
saved her childrenswait for
itumbilical cords. You read
that right. And, if youthinkabout
it, which I cant without spitting-
up, what greater thing can there
be that connected a child to his
mother? Certainly not a Power
Ranger or a Barbie, thats for
damn sure. So I applaud her
faithfulness to that (unique)
benchmark of infancy.
Man, I am a bad, bad mother.
So, kids, I apologize about
your pretend trophies, your Po-
keman cards, the MLB bobble
heads, your Scooby Doo flash-
light, those stupid Polly Pockets
and their ridiculous cousins, the
Sky Dancers plus all your Hot
Wheelsbut Im not sorry for
de-cluttering your life and mak-
ing you impress a real memory
into your brain, instead of in an
attic closet. And, I guess I may as
well confessPatrick, you nev-
er lost your air soft gun, Nerf
guns and paint ball gun plus am-
munition in the flood. We we-
rent inthe flood. But I pretended
we were and tossed them. Sorry.
So, long live your memories.
They are what sustain you, bal-
ance you, uplift you and will be
the blueprint for all your happi-
ness. A fairy will not steal them
and deliver them to anyone else
in their helicopter. They are
yours for keeps. Forever and ev-
er.

Written by Aaron Mulusky, Dietetic Intern, Marywood University
With Presidents Day just around the corner, the iconic story of
George Washington chopping down a cherry tree comes to mind. But
why would he just chop down a tree? There had to be a reason, maybe
he knew all of its health benefits of cherries and wanted to harness
them for himself. Cherries are one of the many Super Foods that
does it all. They contain antioxidants and phytochemicals which help
in regulating blood glucose, have anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and
anti-cardiovascular effects, along with many other benefits.
But what makes the cherry such a Super Food? The answer is in
the chemical makeup of the cherry. Cyanidin, a phytochemical, is
present in most red colored berries such as bilberries, blackberries,
blueberries, cherries, cranberries, and raspberries, but also in other
fruits including apples, pears, peaches and plums. The highest con-
centrations of cyanidin are found in the skin, so remember to wash
your fruits and vegetables well to ensure that you are getting all of the
nutrients and health benefits from not only the flesh of the fruit but
also the skin.
The anti-inflammatoryeffect helps withdecreasinggout attacks by
decreasing the urate in blood plasma. Urate is the precursor to uric
acid crystals which causes the distress and pain in joints in those who
suffer from gout. The cherries are packed with loads of antioxidants
including anthocyanins, melatonin, and at least 15 others. Research
suggests anthocyanins works similar to common pain medications
used by athletes to reduce post-exercise muscle soreness. Melatonin
may help the bodys natural sleep pattern.
Now that you know more about this Super Food, you are prob-
ably asking your-self where can I obtain them? Because the peak
season for cherries is in the summer months, finding fresh cherries
can be challenging and pricey if you do. But do not fear, for the won-
derful thing about cherries is that there are many alternative forms to
purchase at a less costly price. They range from dried to canned and
even to frozen. For the most part processed cherries have the nutri-
tional values as their fresh counter parts. One thing to look out for is
how the cherries are packaged; sugary syrup adds unnecessary car-
bohydrates and calories. While on the topic of why cherries are good
for you, you may be thinking to yourself how can I make cherries
apart of my day? Listed belowis a great recipe for a delicious break-
fast parfait. You can make anytime because it is made with dried
cherries instead of fresh. They also make a great snack alternative to
candy!
Cherry Breakfast Parfait
Ingredients:
1 (8 oz.) carton low fat vanilla yogurt
1/3 cup dried tart cherries
1 ripe banana, sliced
2/3 cup low fat granola cereal
Directions: Combine yogurt and cherries; mix well. Layer 1/2 of
the yogurt mixture, 1/2 of the banana slices and1/2 of the granola into
2 parfait glasses. Repeat layering once with remaining yogurt mix-
ture, banana slices and granola. Makes 2 servings.
Tip: The parfaits may be served immediately or chilled up to 2
hours before serving and its a great recipe to make with children.

True N.D. fan
The day after the Notre Dame
football team lost the National
Championship Game to Alaba-
ma, Jimmy Hondo Callahan
was still wearinghis Notre Dame
jacket around town. At one of his
regular stops, a fella said, I cant
believe youre still wearing that
thing.
No shrinking violet, even at 70
years old, Jimmy shot back, If
you dont like it, why dont you
try to take it off me?
The guy declined. Apparently
he remembers Jimmy in his hey
day. We sure do.

1988 25 years ago
Michelle Eifert, of West
Pittston, was 10 years old when
she joined Girl Scouts. She
worked her way up to a Junior
Girl Scout then on to a Cadet.
Michelle though, had a goal
to receive the coveted Gold
Award, the highest award one
can attain in Girl Scouts. In
1988 after many years of hard
work, Michelle received the
award that was considered so
rare that only 11 others in
Northeastern Pennsylvania had
attained the goal. Eiferts final
project on her journey to win
the award was implementing a
Fun Day at the Pittston YMCA.
It included races and activities
for handicapped children. She
credited her parents Barbara
and Donald Eifert. Theyve
helped me quite a bit over the
years, she said.
Cindy Butcofski, of West
Wyoming and a student at
Wyoming Area, had been in-
volved with swimming for 10
years. She was a three-time
district champion for the Lady
Warriors and had broken Dis-
trict II records for the 200 IM
and 100 backstroke for three
consecutive years and finished
sixth in the state in 1987. In
1988, Butcofski hoped to place
in the states and continue her
swimming career in college.
Answer
Although the West Pittston
High school football coaching
staff was turning out winning
squads, the sport wasnt prov-
ing popular with the public.
The figures showed that foot-
ball went into the red by over
$2,000 during the 1957 season.
While income amounted to
$5,153, expenditures totaled
$7,356. Board members hoped
the schools move to the East-
ern Conference would produce
a tougher grid schedule and
general more interest in the
games.
Judge me all you want, just
keep the verdict to yourself.

ENKINS TWP.
Braving a
brisk Janu-
ary wind,
about 30
people gathered near
Pittston last Sunday to
commemorate the 54th
anniversary of the Knox
Mine Disaster.
Twelve men died during
the infamous mine flood,
which researchers attri-
bute to corporate greed
and corruption.
The event included the
laying of a wreath at the
official historical marker
located in front of Baloga
Funeral Home in Jenkins
Township and then a walk-
ing tour to the actual site
where the Susquehanna
River poured into the
mine located a few yards
from the rivers edge.
Bill Best, president of
the Huber Breaker Pres-
ervation Society, spoke to
the group explaining how
81 miners where trapped
when about 10 billion gal-
lons of icy river water
poured in through the
mine roof after the com-
pany dug too far past the
stop line.
Most of the men made it
out due to some heroic
measures of the miners to
climb out of an air shaft,

but 12 never did.
Best said the corrupt Knox
Mining Co. prioritizing prof-
its over worker safety work-
ing in tandem with corrupt
union supervisors caused the
disaster.
The legal pursuits after the
disaster netted some convic-
tions of conspiracy and viola-
tions of the Anthracite Mine
Act, he said.
Despite the corruption,
its important to commemo-
rate all local miners including
those who died, Best said.
They are a big part of our
local heritage.
John Baloga, owner of the
Baloga Funeral Home, whose
grandfather was one of the 12
lost on Jan. 22, 1959, said his
grandmother was not only
devastated because of the loss
of her husbandbut alsofinan-
cially buried as were the other
families.
Back then, you didnt
have huge lawsuit settlements
like today, Baloga said.
Eventually, the family re-
ceived very small financial
compensation months after
the disaster.
He pointed out the river-
bank marker now placed
where the actual giant whirl-
pool of river water poured in
has become the gravestone
for the families of the dead.
Its all we have left, he
said. The families will never
know how the men actually
died, he said.
Best said the Knox Mine
Disaster marked the end of
the anthracite mining indus-
try in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania, which at one time pro-
vided about 95 percent of all
anthracite coal in the world.
The event was part of
Mining History Week, which
celebrated mining with
events all over the region,
Best said. The final event oc-
curred on Tuesday when at-
torney John Doran spoke at
the Earth Conservancy build-
inginAshleyabout The His-
tory of the Blue Coal Corpo-
rations Bankruptcy Case.
Doran was involved in the
case that was one of the very
last chapters of the local
mining industry, Best said.

ing.
According to the union, the
board has rejected several state
mediator settlement proposals.
The board requested a state
fact-finder to issue a settlement
report. After the report was is-
sued, the board rejected it, the
union said.
Mediators and fact-finders
are neutral parties appointed by
the state.
According to the flyer passed
out at the picket, teachers have
offered cost savings to help
with salary and health care, but
the board has rejected the of-
fers.
In her brief statement to the
board during public comments,
Barrett said the union is pre-
pared to meet as much as need-
ed until a deal is hammered
out.
But ultimately its five votes
on the board, she said.
We just need to get the
board to sit down and nego-
tiate.
A district resident questioned
the negotiation process. He
asked how many times the two
groups had met.
Weve met over 50 times,
Barrett said.
When asked how many
meetings had been held in the
past year, she replied, Maybe
a dozen.
In other business;
District finance manager
Tom Melone discussed the
2013-14 budget with the board.
He presented preliminary
figures that included the state-
allowed 2.3 percent increase in
taxes.
He also projected figures for
a 4.42 percent rise that includes
a state-allowed exception due
to increased retirement costs.
Even after raising taxes 4.42
percent, Melone projected that
the district would have a deficit
of more than a million dollars.
Board member Elizabeth
Gober-Mangan asked Bernardi
if the administration will pre-
sent cuts.
He said he had presented
proposed cuts in the past and
will continue to do so.
The board approved bids
for about $2 million in reno-
vations to the Montgomery
Avenue Elementary School.
Approved a change in the
2012-2013 school calendar.
Wednesday, June 12, will be a
makeup day for a snow day on
Jan. 16.
Approved the request of
music teacher Leonarda Sper-
razza for the chorus to sing the
national anthem at a Penguins
hockey game on the next night,
Jan. 23.
Several board members ques-
tioned the cost of $315 toward
purchasing tickets.
They said the chorus was
volunteering its service and
should be given free tickets to
the game.

Cheerleading has come a long way,
baby. These days cheerleaders dont
just cheer for athletes. They are ath-
letes.
Its much more competitive and
much more physical, Pittston Area
cheerleading coach Kim Morgan said
comparing cheering today to when she
was a Pittston Area cheerleader in
2001.

hours Morgan who started
cheerleading at age 1 as a mas-
cot for the Jenkins Township ju-
nior football team-- puts 30 Pitt-
ston Area cheerleaders through
intense routine practices and
workouts as she gets them ready
to compete in the Universal
Cheerleading Associations Na-
tional HighSchool Cheerleading
Championship February 9 - 10 at
the Walt Disney World Resort in
Orlando, Florida
The PA squad was one of just
two teams at the Pocono Region-
al Competition at Kutztown Uni-
versity on December 9 to qualify
for the national event.
The PA girls compete in the
Large Varsity Non-Tumbling di-
vision. The 2 minute routine
they are working on includes
dancing, jumping, stunting and
pyramids with a cheer portion in
the middle.
Pyramid building is just like a
sport. With positions like main
base, secondary base, back spot
and flyer it takes teamwork to
make a quality and safe pyramid.
Junior Bridget Starinsky
who began cheering with Du-
ryea Wildcats junior football -- is
a pyramidbackspot. Her jobis to
help toss the flyer to the top of
the pyramid and then spot her for
safety. Sometimes it can be a lit-
tle unnerving. I would never let
my flier know Im scared, Sta-
rinsky said. She has to trust
you.
In addition to practicing their
routine, the girls also workout.
They do push ups, sit ups and
crunches for their arms and legs
and the end of practice and yoga
once a week. In the summer they
practice every morning - after a1
mile run. On their own most of
them also do machine workouts
and weight train at a local gym.
Planet fitness is usually explod-
ing with them after practice,
Morgan said.
People underestimate cheer-
leading, Starinsky said. Its a
lot of work and its tiring. On top
of it we go out and cheer for the
basketball team and the wres-
tling team. We have fun doing it,
but its stressful at times.
Morgan a PA eighth grade
math teacher has been the
coach for five years. She has
Spirit Safety certification and
concussion certification. At
times, like any coach, she has to
be a little tough. This group of
girls knows whenI amhittingmy
limit, she said. For the most
part they are mature, respectful,
responsible and well-behaved.
In addition to working out and
practicing their routines, the
girls have been busy raising
money. Theysoldcandybars and
t-shirts, washed cars, served spa-
ghetti dinners, ran a night of the
races, a Charming Charlies sale
and a youth cheer camp and
raised 90 percent of the $800 per
girl and $24,000 total they need.
Their last scheduled fund rais-
er was Friday, a happy hour for
adults at the Red Mill Tavern.
Whats left after that will come
out of the parents pockets or
from other donors. To help con-
tact Kim Morgan at the Pittston
Area Middle school.
Starinsky said she is humbled
by all the support. As a teamwe
appreciate that the community
supported us. Without our par-
ents, teachers, and administra-
tion and everybody who donated
even a penny we wouldnt have
this privilege.
Once they get to Florida the
girls will stay at the Caribbean
Beach Resort at Disney World.
On Friday they will have free
run, with chaperones, of the Dis-
ney attractions. Saturday morn-
ing they will have one last prac-
tice and then more park time.
The competition among 400 to
500teams fromaroundthe coun-
try is Sunday.
Were getting excited, Sta-
rinsky said. On competition day
it will be nerve-wracking, but
once you get on the mat its a
blast. It will be a lifetime experi-
ence and Im glad Ill get to ex-
perience it with my teammates.
No matter how we place well
know we worked as hard as we
could and we tried our best.

The Warriors took two steps in
the right direction this week with
a win Tuesday and a much more
competitive contest in its re-
match with Lake-Lehman Fri-
day.
WA used the crossover game
at MMI to post its first Wyoming
Valley Conference victory, 58-
50, and end an 11-game losing
streak overall.
An offense that has often
struggled produced two of its
three highest-scoring games of
the year and its two highest in the
last dozen games.
Bart Chupka scored 24 points,
grabbed 11 rebounds, made four
steals anddishedout three assists
in the 58-50 win that allowed the
Warriors to improve to 2-12
overall.
Chupka, who is normally
fighting to keep the Warriors
competitive inside against larger
opponents, was able to dominate
much of the night.
We were looking at the
matchups and we did see that
MMI was very similar to us,
Wyoming Area coach Al Brogna
said. Theyre not really big, but
theyre a quick, scrappy team.
The Warriors shot 48 percent
overall.
Mike Carey made his only two
3-point attempts while scoring11
points. Jordan Zezza added 10
points and five steals.
The Warriors took a five-point
halftime lead but led just 36-35
before pulling away in the fourth
quarter.
We had three really good
quarters where we did the things
were supposed to do, Brogna
said. We had a little hiccup in
the third quarter which got them
back in thegame a little bit.
We stood our ground and
made a nice run.
The Warriors opened the lead
to as many as 15 points and were
still up 11 until the Preppers hit a
50-footer at the buzzer.
Corey Rodgers led MMI with
16 points.
Lake-Lehman 66, Wyoming
Area 55
The Warriors continued their
progress with a more competi-
tive effort against a Lake-Leh-
man teamthat had defeated them
by 25 just two weeks earlier.
AdamDizbonscored19points
and Pete Borumadded17 to lead
the Black Knights to a 66-55 vic-
tory.
Jordan Zezza scored16 points,
Chupka added 13 points and
eight rebounds and Carey hit
three 3-pointers while scoring13
points.
The Warriors piled up 26
points in a fast-paced fourth
quarter to close the gap from 18
points to eight with two minutes
remaining.
We battled really well in the
second half, Brogna said. In
the fourth quarter, we played
probably the best basketball
weve played all year.
Wyoming Area switched to a
press in the fourth quarter and
Brogna said it was effective in
getting his team to pick up its
pace more than it was in disrupt-
ing Lake-Lehman.
We needed to try to get up
and down the floor a little faster,
he said.
Pittston Area 51, Coughlin 38
James Tobisch scored 19
points and Pittston Area rallied
in the fourth quarter to run past
Coughlin, 51-38, Tuesday in a
Division 1 game.
Mason Gross added 16 points
and Tyler McGarry hit three 3-
pointers while scoring 11.
Pittston Area led 12-6 after
one quarter but Coughlin moved
in front 34-33 going into the
fourth.
The Patriots won the game
with the help of an 18-4, fourth-
quarter advantage.
Pittston Areas Friday home
game with Berwick was post-
poned because of snow and
moved back to Saturday after-
noon. It was over to late for our
deadline.

Last Saturday, January19, The
Patriots went 4-1 in the Belle-
fonte Red Raider Rumble, a
duals tournament. The Patriots
won their pool defeating Midd-
West from Middleburg, Snyder
County; Fauquier, Virginia and
State College High School.
In the semi-finals they lost to
eventual tourney champion Du-
Bois, 37-36. DuBois beat Erie
Cathedral Prep 42-31in the final
PA coach James Woodall said
the Patriots exceeded his expec-
tations. Ima little surprised we
did as well as we did. State Col-
lege is a little down this season.
They werent as deep as we ex-
pected them to be, but we had a
good weekend. We looked
good.
Angelo Lussi was 5-0 in the
tourney. Most impressive was
our heavyweight Brain Mod-
zienski. He was 5-0 with five
pins, Woodall said.
Yesterday the Patriots wrestled
in another high-caliber tourna-
ment the Konkrete Duals at
Northampton High School,
where they went up against Nor-
ristown and West Chester. Nor-
ristown has three returning wres-
tlers who were in the top eight in
the state last year.
We try to get outside the area
and wrestle some traditional
powers, Woodall said.
Back home on Wednesday the
Patriots lost their last WVC
match by a point to Dallas 32-31
andthe last individual bout of the
match by a point 3-2. It doesnt
get any closer than that. Their
other loss was to undefeated Val-
ley West by six. Both were one
bout matches.
Woodall said the Patriots we-
rent on their game against Dal-
las. I dont know if we were a
little flat or what it was. But give
credit to Dallas they have good
balance and they came out to
beat us.

day to stay unbeaten in Division

2010.
The Lady Patriots are 6-0 with
four meets to go on the season.

The other one, against Meyers
on Wednesday in the PA pool, is
a little more troublesome. PA
beat Meyers108-78 the first time
through the, but that was five
weeks ago and things have
changed. Meyers is 6-1 and
could tie PAfor the top spot with
a win, assuming PA beats Nanti-
coke Monday.
Im a little nervous, said PA
coach Amy Hazlet. Our divers
swept in the first meet and their
divers have improved. I scouted
them and their swimmers have
improved a lot, too.

69-28 win over Coughlin. Czer-
niakowski, who earned 15 varsi-
ty letters in five different sports,
is the all-time PA scoring leader
with1874 points. Hopkins wont
reach that number, but she will
almost certainly pass Baumes
and wind up number two on the
list.

high32points inthe first quarter.
Ali Brady scored 12 with two 3-
pointers; Liz Waleski, 10 with

With their second win of the
week on Thursday at Berwick,
the Patriots (6-2) stayed a game
behind Dallas (7-1), whose only
loss was to PA. They play again
Thursday at Dallas, but PA will
probably have to get by Hazleton
on Monday to have a shot at
catching Dallas on Thursday.
Dallas has winless Coughlin on
Monday.
Against Berwick, Hopkins led
all scorers with18 points and Al-
lie Barber scored 12 with one 3-
pointer. Brady had six and Wa-
leski, four. PA hit 10-of-16 free
throws.

In the winter months Lou
Lussi is more stir crazy than
most of us in the Pittston area.
December and January are the
only months when the 66-year-
old Lussi doesnt play slo-pitch
softball.
Last year he played about 150
games with three different travel
teams and a local 50 plus
league. His softball year started
and ended in Florida with the
USATournament of Champions
in Lakeland in February and the
SSUSA Senior Softball Nation-
al Championship in November,
where he played on a the 65 plus
national championship team
sponsored by Anaconda Sports
of Albany, New York.
Lou Lussi was on fire in the
tournament. He batted .700 for
the tourney. In the champion-
ship game against US Jobs from
Indiana Lussi hit for the cycle
single, double, triple and home
run with an intentional walk
and six RBIs and was selected to
the all-tournament team.
Last summer Lussi played
with Hamels Builders of Balti-
more, which won a regional title
in Georgia where he was select-
ed Offensive Player of the Year.
Starting as a teenager in the
Greater Pittston League, Lussi
has been playing softball for
nearly 50 years without missing
a season. In 1982 he played on a
class Astate championship team
with Doc Sports Bar in West
Pittston and went to a national
tourney in Oklahoma. When the
GP league folded in the late
1980s he played in leagues in
Old Forge and Scranton. When
he was 35 he went to his first
age-group state tournament.
In 2005 he joined a 50 plus
travel team out of Allentown
and he has been traveling widely
with age group teams ever since.
Hes played in New York,
New Jersey, Virginia, the Car-
olinas, Georgia, Florida and Las
Vegas.
Lussi said the bats used in the
60 plus and above tourneys,
called senior bats are hot.
They can add 40 feet and a lot of
speed to a hit, which is danger-
ous for pitchers. He said most of
the pitchers wear helmets, face
guards and other protection.
On Mondays in the summer
he plays in the Birchwood 50
and over league in Plains and
with the travel teams three
weekends a month.
Why does he keep going?
I love it, he said. Its a lot of
fun and a lot of competition.

Matthew (Matt) J. Shimshock
Jr., 74, of Plains, passed away on
Monday, Jan. 21, surrounded by
family.
He was born, raised and attend-
ed schools in Plains. He was the
son of the late MatthewJ and Ce-
cilia (Walsh) Shimshock. He
graduated from Plains Memorial
High School, class of 1956.
Following graduation, he
served in the U.S. Marine Corps
for two years. After his military
service, he attended Kings Col-
lege. He had a distinguished ca-
reer in the consumer finance in-
dustry for more than 35 years. He
started his career in 1961 with
General Acceptance Corp.
(GAC) in the Baltimore area. In
1970, he returned to Plains and
became a vice president, area
manager for GAC and continued
his career with Finance America
and NationsCredit. He was re-
sponsible for territories in Penn-
sylvania, New York, New Jersey
and New England. He retired in
1998.
Matt was very active in the lo-
cal sports scene and in youth
sports in Plains Township. He
was a coach and an officer for the
Plains Little League for years. He
also coached and was an integral
part inthe earlyyears of the Plains
Yankees Youth Football organiza-
tion. An avid golfer most of his
life, Matt was a longtime member
of the Wyoming Valley Country
Club. While he was an active gol-
fer, he looked forward to the an-
nual golf trips to either Myrtle
Beach or Florida with his friends.
It was during these trips that he
would get enjoyment just being
around his buddies to laugh, eat
and drink. In his later years, he
would frequent the club to play
cards and enjoy the company of
friends regularly. He was a mem-
ber of the Coughlin High School
Booster Club as well. He was a
frequent patron at Pattes Sports
Bar for years and was a member
of the Sportsmens Club. During
that time, the club made numer-
ous trips to NewYork City as well
as other venues for sporting
events, which he truly enjoyed.
He always came back from the
trips with at least one great story
to share with everyone.
He loved to have conversations
about football and sports in the
50s, 60s and
70s. He could
discuss former
area sports stars
with anyone
and loved to
talk about the
old days when his father was a
coachat Plains HighSchool. Matt
was a huge Notre Dame fan and
he made the trip to South Bend on
a number of occasions. He loved
watching old war movies and was
a great fan of any John Wayne
movie.
After retirement, he also en-
joyed attending sporting events,
especially those that involved his
grandchildren. He loved going to
college football games to watch
his grandson as well as soccer
games and track and field meets
to watch his granddaughters. He
loved to be surrounded by his
family and friends. To him, noth-
ing compared to being with his
children and grandchildren dur-
ing the holidays and other occa-
sions.
His ability to tell stories, make
people laugh and make people
feel valued were unmatched. He
was the type of person that others
were drawn to because of his per-
sonality and genuine care that he
felt for others. He was a constant
presence in Plains Township for
many years. He will be greatly
missed by those that knew him
and called him a friend.
In addition to his parents, he
was preceded in death by a sister,
Margaret Mary. He was a member
of Ss Peter &Paul Church, Plains.
He is survived by his devoted
wife, the former Jean Kuzminski.

shock, and his wife, Lisa, Plains;
daughter Donna Shimshock,

grandchildren, Jade and Matthew
Shimshock; Kasey and McKen-
zie McDonough, Madison and
Grace Mimnaugh, as well as

nough. Matt adored his grand-

well.

thank all of his friends over the
years for the enjoyment they
brought to his life. They would al-
so like to recognize and thank the
numerous doctors, nurses and
medical personnel that extended
his time on Earth.

Carmella Parente concluded
her earthly journey at 10:14
p.m., Wednesday Jan. 23, 2013
at Timber Ridge Health Care
Center.
She was born on Oct. 29, 1925
to Vincent and Concetta (Despi-
rito) Mirro, and as daughter, sis-
ter, mother, grandmother, sister-
in-law, aunt and friend, Carmella
filled many roles with dignity
and pride and brought smiles to
all who knew her.
Carmella lived a hard life by
some standards, and may truly
have never known how positive-
ly she impacted so many other
lives. In a time when it was com-
mon to do so, she, upon the
death of her mother, was needed
at home to care for her siblings,
necessitating the end of her for-
mal education in the 10th grade.
This, by far, was the greatest re-
gret of her life. To her final days,
education and knowledge were
of prime importance to her, and
until several years ago, Carmella
followed closely both national
and international news. History,
past and present, was her love.
Her marriage to Chuck Par-
ente was one based on respect
and trust, and although she
sometimes spoke of the daunt-
ing task of entering the large
Parente clan,
she truly loved
every minute
of the family
and they, in
turn, treated
her like a sister.
She, along with her husband,
especially considered their nu-
merous nieces and nephews,
Parente and Mirro alike, as their
own and prayed for them all.
Her children, Connie and
Chuckie, were as precious to her
as life itself, and loved her as
well-raised offspring could. Her
daughter-in-law, Debbie, and
grandchildren, Amy and Char-
les, were a source of great pride
to her, and Carmella enjoyed
family gatherings and dinners
with them most of all.
To those who knew her well,
Carmellas medical concerns
during her lifetime were many,
but she faced every issue with a
faith-filled positive attitude.
To all those who cared for her
go well-deserved thanks, but
none more so than Dr. Gerald
Gibbons, whose unwavering
concerns for her brought her ex-
cellent health for many years.
Carmellas family would be re-
miss if they did not also mention
the gentle care provided by Tim-
ber Ridge Health Care Center;
God bless them all.
In addition to her parents and
husband, Carmella was preced-
ed in death by an infant daugh-
ter, Mary, and siblings, Joseph,
Carmen and David.
In addition to her children,
daughter-in-law and grandchil-
dren, she is survived by her sis-
ter, Isabel Lucarella, and hus-
band Rene; and sisters-in-law,
Esther Mirro and Helen Yankos-
ky.
Though death saddens us, our
faith teaches us that we will one
day be with Carmella and our
many loved ones, and in this we
take our hope. May she find
peace with those who have gone
home to be with our Lord.
A Mass of Christian Burial
was Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013, at
Immaculate Conception
Church, West Pittston, with
Monsignor John Sempa as cele-
brant. Interment was in West
Pittston.
The family requests that, in
place of floral arrangements,
donations be made in Carmellas
memory to the West Pittston Li-
brary, 200 Exeter Ave., West
Pittston, PA18643. Reading was
her joy, and so this is a fitting
celebration of that passion.

Angeline Angie Grace Man-
dicott, Gods special angel on
Earth, was born and married in
Exeter, Pa., lived in Pittston and
Reading, Pa., Binghamton, N.Y.,
Largo, Fla., winteredinClearwa-
ter, Fla., and passed away in
Laughlin, Nevada. She was 94.5
and made it into the 4 percent of
the population who live to that
age! She suffered a stroke with
complications, her greatest fear!
She is predeceased by her par-
ents, Joseph and Mary Carabino;
and her beloved husband of 72
years, and Pittston native, Do-
minick Adam Mandicott who in
the early30s ownedandoperated
Mandicotts Shoe Repair on Mill
Street in Pittston. She is also pre-
deceased by her sisters, Eleanor
Puma and Rose Serino, and her
brothers Sgt. Dominick S. Cara-
bino, who died in action in Nor-
mandy, France in World War II,
and her brother Paul J. Carabino
whodiedonChristmas Eve2012,
nephewJosephCarabino, andhis
wife Christine, and tragically her
young great nephew Paul Ed-
wards.
She is survived by her devoted
daughter and caretaker, Dr.
Grace Mandicott-Fountain, and
her husband, Dr. Wendell V.
Fountain, Laughlin, Nevada, and
her lovingandcherishedson, Do-
minick M. Mandicott Jr. and his
wife Anita G. Mandicott of Tam-
pa, Fla. She was extremely proud
of all her family members, their
spouses andall their accomplish-
ments.
She is also survived by her
brother-in-law and sister-in-law,
Mr. Michael Mandicott and his
wife Peggy, of Mandicott Truck-
ing, of Pittston, Pa.; nephew Mi-
chael Mandicott, Jr. (Mandicott
Trucking) and wife Sissy; niece,
MichelePambiancoandhusband
William Pambianco owners of
the Pet Zone; niece Alexandria
and husband Dick Maniskas;
niece Grace Zumwalt and her
husband Orlow (Zum); nephew,
Dr. Michael Bolognese and his
wife Carolyn; and several great
nieces and nephews.
She worked very hard for her
family, friends, church, commu-
nity, strangers, and those in need,
in the most humble and loving
ways, as if her handwas anexten-
sionof Jesus. She gave because it
made her feel verygoodandhap-
py. ALWAYS had a BIG smile,
and effervescent laughter, which
was her trademark. She would
laugh, Dad would yell, it was
their Italian way, and it was so
funny to see, bringing tears and
absolute joy!
Her work for God and the fam-
ily started when she was just a
child. As the middle sibling, God
blessed her with a rare uplift-
ingandinfectiouslaughter! Asa
child she had a paper route,
helped Gram clean houses, and
set hair for the wealthy. She
cooked, cleaned, boiled the laun-
dryonthestove, andhungit out to
dryafter starchingit, inthe freez-
ingcoldfor the borders for which
theyprovidedlodgingandmeals.
With her wagon, she walked
miles toget coal, potatoes &veg-
gies in the fields. As a little girl
she took unbelievable risks &
showed male-like strength from
then until the day she died. She
learned to sew, crochet, and was
known as the Laundry Lady and
Dusting Queen. Other jobs in-
cluded working in the dress fac-
tory, silk mill, cigar factory,
cleaning cabooses during the
war, andmakinguniforms for the
soldiers.
Shedidvolunteer workfor Ital-
ian organizations, the Church,
and Hospice of Florida. She ex-
celled in fashion design and she
and her husband was an elegant
couple who loved to work hard
and play hard, but were always
homeeverynight withthefamily.
Whenher brother Dominickdied
in War II, she had promised to
take care of her parents if some-
thing happened to him, whom
she did and for 35 years of her
married life she took care of her
mother. She and her husband,
with two other
men, built their
house, and she
worked like a
slave, but it was
a labor of love.
She laid flag-
stone, built flagstone walls, dug
the garage foundation, painted
thehouse, sandedtheoakfloors
all this at night after work and on
week ends. Dom had his shoe-
maker shop in the house and
worked there after working all
day in the shoe factory. We were
blessed to have a newhouse with
a big yard where we could play
badminton, crochet, and horse-
shoes.
Honest Angie hadtomisrepre-
sent her experience and got a job
inSears. She workedfor 40years
in every department and was
loved by all. She was never late
and sick only once. An article
was writtenabout her intheSears
Alumni Newsletter 2012 edition.
She retired in1983. Her happiest
times in life were spent with the
family at holidays, in Pittston, at
our house, at Harveys Lake, tak-
ing the children camping, and to
AtlanticCity, andof courseliving
inLaughlin, Nevada, at theendof
life. ShewastheBESTcook, Ital-
ian cookie-maker Christmas
cookieswasher signatureabout
15 different kinds. Her face lit up
when she saw people enjoying
her culinary works of art!
Some of her famous quotes
were: I hear you, Dominick
and Ill only be a fewminutes in
the store. One day she left him
onabenchfor threehours! I was
only shopping, she explained.
Oh, I forgot something; have to
go back in the house. Domin-
ick, I do know how to play 31.
The only thing wrong with you
is your BIG mouth! I love this
life in Nevada. Wendell, Im
bored, take me to the AVI. Dia-
mond Lil is ready to go. The bus
is leaving. Theyve reallytight-
ened these machines, but thats
OK Ill get them another way.
Wendell, I just got the bonus
what do I do? Imlooking for a
richman.Mysecret tothis long
life is that I drink wine, dance,
play the slots and lotto, eat lots of
garlic, andrelax. I dodrugs (legal
of course).Wehavetotakecare
of ourselves, and stay out of the
hospital. Hey, Dom, Grace has
me reading a book a week. HA-
HAHA. I knowyouare reallynot
believing that. She gets me hu-
mor books and I laugh at night
when I cant sleep.
Angies claim to fame and her
legacy was her goodness and un-
conditional love, always giving
and helping anyone in need! Her
generosity is second to none, and
her many, many, random acts of
kindness were saint-like! She
gave tips to anyone who gave her
service, and she always said, its
only paper, and they need it more
thanI.Wearesuresheis looking
down totally astonished at the
outpouring of sympathy and love
by so many family members,
friends, neighbors, andacquaint-
ances. Anyone touched even re-
motely by Angel Angie, has
been truly blessed and is a better
personfor havingthe privilege of
knowing her. Life will not be the
same without her, but she is hav-
ing a big party and celebrating
with Daddy and her family and
many, many friends who she out-
lived by many years. As she
would say often, Bon appetito
and mangia, mangia! Angie, you
will betheHeadItalianChef now
in heaven.
She will be cremated at her re-
quest and her ashes will be kept
by Grace. She wanted a party

house: 1280CountryClubDrive,

Take a look into Mrs.
Theresa Babonis room105 in
the Kindergarten Center
while she does a PATHS les-
son with her students. This
program is a fairly new addi-
tion to the kindergarten curri-
culum.
PATHS stands for Promot-
ing Alternative Thinking
Strategies. Through these les-
sons, students learn about
feelings and how to deal with
them. They learn about mak-
ing good choices in not so
good situations. They also
learn about appropriate and
inappropriate reactions to
their feelings.
These life lessons are
taught to the children using
four very special puppets,
Twiggles the Turtle, Henrietta
the Hedgehog, Daphne the
Duck and Duke the Dog.
This week, Mrs. Babonis
reviewed with her class the
feelings of sad and happy. She
then introduced the feeling of
calm.
She read the students a
short story entitled Twiggles
and His Friends Feel Calm
The book discussed all the
things that make the PATHS
friends feel calm.
Then, Mrs. Babonis dis-
cussed with her students all
the things that make themfeel
calm.
To conclude the lesson, the
students received a coloring
sheet with a blank face on it.
The students were directed to
draw their best calm face.
Then, they each had the op-
portunity to tell the teacher
what makes them feel calm.
Mrs. Theresa Babonis reads to students in her kindergarten class using the PATHS Friends
puppets.
