at noon.
This is the 47th Super Sun-
day and as far as Im concerned
none of them have been super.
Even the times the Packers
won. See, Im not talking about
the football game the Super
Bowl Im talking about the
day Super Sunday.
A day called Super Sunday
a veritable national holiday,
maybe not up there with Christ-
mas and Easter, but surely on a
par with the 4th of July and a
heck of a lot more exciting than
Labor Day should be much
more than just a big party with
a football game in the back-
ground. Shouldnt it?
Youd think by now the day
would have taken on super
status in hundreds of ways. Not
just Super Savings at an auto-
mobile dealership or Super
Deals on chicken wings and
pizza, but super everything.
What do I mean?
I mean take Super Sunday
and approach it ... no, embrace
it ... no, attack it ... no, over-
whelm it, with a super attitude.
Dont do a single thing unless
you make it super. As sports-
caster Jack Buck said when
Ozzie Smith of the St. Louis
Cardinals hit a ninth inning
homer to beat the Los Angeles
Dodgers in game 5 of the 1985
National League playoffs, Go
crazy, folks!
Go crazy today, folks, in
everything you do ... all day
long ... even the littlest of
things. Put a super gob of
toothpaste on your brush and
go at those pearly whites with
super gusto. Sing in the shower
at the top of your lungs.
Give the wife, the kids, mom
and dad, a super hug. Show
them how much you super love
them.
Dive into a super breakfast.
On a diet? Not today. Slather
a super layer of real butter on
your toast, or better yet on a
super stack of pancakes. Go
crazy with the maple syrup.
If you go out for breakfast,
order a super meal and then
leave a super tip. It wont kill
you and it will make the wait-
resss day super too.
Like Easter Sunday, Super
Sunday should be a day when
you cant get a seat in church if
you dont get there early. Every
church should have a super
crowd filling the pews and
super smiles all around. The
choir should be at their super
best and the collection basket
overflowing with super dona-
tions. That gives me an idea:
Super Sunday should be a day
for super giving. Write a check
to a charity on Super Sunday.
Super Sunday: a super day
for soup kitchens. If done right,
they could make their annual
goal in one day.
Super Sunday should be a
day for super decisions, super
commitment, super sincerity,
super action. Everything we do
should be over the top.
Need to quit smoking? Super
Sundays the day.
Have an old friend youve
lost touch with? Pick up the
phone.
Need to mend a broken rela-
tionship? Do it now.
How about this: thinking of
popping the question? Get
down on one knee and ask her
today. Anybody can propose on
Valentines Day. But youre not
just anyone. And neither is she.
You two are super and sos your
relationship.
Pick your moment. Im
thinking right after the National
Anthem, or just before the
halftime show. If youre a big
49ers or Ravens fan, wait until
they win the game. Then you
can say, Only one thing in the
world could make me happier
today if you will be my wife.
How super is that?
Super syrupy maybe, but the
rewards will last a lifetime.
Even if she has her doubts,
by the way, shell have to say
yes if you ask her on Super
Sunday. Its the element of
surprise, like throwing a long
bomb on third-and-one.
Super Sunday should be full
of such surprises. Dye your hair
today. Or chop it all off. Shave
your beard. Or start to grow
one.
Tell someone youre sorry.
And mean it.
Kids been begging for a pup-
py?
Hubbys longing for your
homemade lasagna?
Moms been making a novena
that youd go back to college?
Wifes almost given up on
you fixing that leaking kitchen
faucet?
Grammas waiting a long
time for a visit?
Well, todays the day to tidy
up all that stuff.
Do something big or small
today that no one expects.
And do it with super enthusi-
asm.
Do lots of those things.
Let your imagination run
wild.
From the time we get up
today until the time we go to
bed, we all should strive to be
super men, super women, super
children, super people.
Go ahead, give it a shot.
And when we wake up to-
morrow morning, well all be
saying, Man, that was a Super
Sunday!
Ed Ackerman, optimist

Asked how she came to be a die-hard
San Francisco 49ers fan, GinMarianacci
said, I didnt have a choice. I was raised
that way and that was it.
In her earliest memory shes 5 or 6
years old and her father, Fred, put
one of his 49ers t-shirts on her
and sat in front of the TV to
watch a Niners game.
That was aroundthe time
Gina last appeared on the
front page of the Dispatch,
representing 49ers fans
on Jan. 22, 1989, when
the 49ers beat Cincinna-
ti, 20-16, in Super Bowl
XXIII on a Joe Monta-
na to John Taylor TD
pass with 34 sec-
onds remaining in
the game.
That was the third
of five Super Bowls
the 49ers have won in
as many tries, though its been a while
since the last one in 1995.
Ginas favorite player is J.J. Stokes,
a wide receiver from the 1990s whom
was overshadowed by Jerry Rice and
Terrell Owens.
Being an East Coast 49ers fan can
be a little frustrating. Gina only got to
see them play live once on a trip to
Florida in 1993 when she was 9 years
old and her father took her to see them
play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And
the Niners arent on network TV
much. Ginas father fixed that by get-
ting a Direct TV NFL package at the
homestead in West Pittston. Now
when the 49ers are not on
network TV, Gina can
go to her fathers
house for the game.
Gina is a wait-
Fred Mar-
ianacci, left,
gave his
daughter
Gina no
choice but
the 49ers
Though he had been a Cle-
veland Browns fan since he
was a kid, when the Browns
moved to Baltimore and be-
came the Ravens after the1995
NFL season, John Erzars loy-
alties went with them and so
did he.
Erzar went to Baltimore for
the first-ever Baltimore Rav-
ens game at Memorial Stadi-
um in September 1996 and
watched his Ravens beat the
Oakland Raiders.
Though Erzar appreciates
the Cleveland Browns history,
he
easily tran-
sitioned to the Ravens 1996.
The team the players and
staff was essentially the same
team as the 95 Browns. After

Baltimore crab cakes and San
Francisco sourdough?
Probably not if youre in Grea-
ter Pittston.
Wings, pizza and beer are al-
ways onthe menuonSuper Bowl
Sunday, no matter who plays.
Just ask Jeanne Zinkavich,
owner of the Town Tavern in Du-
ryea.
Their exten-
sive bar menu
is set aside for
one day and
they concen-
trate solely on
wings and piz-
za.
And not just
a few dozen
wings.
In one day,
patrons will
devour 57
cases of wings.
At 40 pounds a
case (well do
the math here)
thats more
than a ton of
wings.
All those
poor little
chickens,
Zinkavich
joked.
And whats a
ton of wings without 36 gallons
of bleu cheese and ranch?
By the end of the night, every
stick of celery is eaten, Zinkav-
ich said.
Its all hands on deck, too.
All of the family is here help-
ing out, she said. Mothers and
fathers, sons and daughters,
brothers and sisters.
Although the bar is hopping
for the Super Bowl (17 televi-
sions means you wont miss a

As the songsays, the waitingis
the hardest part.
And for two local lawyers, the
Tom Petty track rings true.
A plan submitted to the state
by Luzerne County that would
add Yatesville and Pittston and
Jenkins townships to the magist-
erial district court housed at Pitt-
ston City Hall, seems to be held
up.
The seat, vacated when Fred
Pierantoni became a Luzerne
County Court of Common Pleas
judge, is on the primary ballot in
May and several have already
thrown their hats into the ring.
But Jackie Musto Carroll, of
Yatesville, and Girard Mecadon,
of Jenkins Township, who both
have expressed an interest in the
seat, are unable to announce
their candidacies until the dis-
trict is officially realigned be-
cause they live within the newly
proposed district.
The first day to circulate and
file nominations petitions in
Pennsylvania is February 19.
Musto Carroll and Mecadon
said they hope to have an answer
by then. I really cant do any-
thing until its realigned, Musto
Carroll said.
This is an important position
and magisterial elections dont
come around very often, Meca-
don said. Its unfair they are do-
ing this to the voters.
Officially in the mix are Attor-
ney Alexandra Sciandra Kokura,
a special master in Lackawanna
County Family Court; James
Red OBrien, the former Lu-
zerne County Recorder of
Deeds; and Attorney Mark Sing-
er, the former president of the
Pittston Area School Board.
Other names being mentioned
are former Luzerne CountyDep-
uty Prothonotary Arthur Bob-
bouine, former Luzerne County
Acting Sheriff Charles Guarneri,
and former Pittston City Council
Candidate Barb Zangre.
The plan, generated by the
county and required by the state
every10 years, must be approved
by the State Supreme Court.
Luzerne County Court of
Common Pleas President Judge
Thomas Burke submitted the
proposed plan under a directive
fromthe administrative office of
Pennsylvania courts that seeks to
eliminate 50 magisterial districts
in Pennsylvania
Burke has said the reorganiza-
tion attempts to group judges
with specific school districts
where feasible so the magisterial
judges can have a bigger impact
in minimizing truancy and
crime.
The vast Pittston and Jenkins
townships and small borough of
Yatesville are currently in the
territory of District Judge Diana
Malast in Plains Township
whose district would be reduced
to just Laflin and Plains Town-
ship.
The Pittston seat is currently
occupied on an interim basis by
Senior Magisterial Judge An-
drew Barilla Jr., formerly the
longtime Swoyersville judge. He
was appointed to the seat after
Judge Fred Pierantoni was elect-
ed to the Luzerne County Court
of Common Pleas.
Mecadon fears if the court

Joe Holdens just as comfortable

front of the camera.
Investigative reporter for Eye-
witness News on WBRE-TV,
Holden also organizes the music
ministry at St. John the Evangelist
Catholic Church in Pittston, di-
recting the choir and playing the
organ for masses.
Holden said the ministry is a
stress relief from the demanding
job at WBRE of exposing corrup-
tion.
TV is so one dimensional,
Holden said, my other dimen-
sions come in the formof this little
music ministry.
Holden, who taught himself
howto play the piano and read mu-
sic at a young age, has played pro-
fessionally since he was fifteen.
He called it my little music
thing, but his talent is what helped
him pay the bills through college
and later developed into a full-
fledgedcareer, but a career done as
a true labor of love.
Every Sunday I was clanking
away on the organ, Holden, who
often filled in for other organists
while he was in school, said.
Then Monsignor Bendik emailed
me.
Holden began what he said
hoped would be a life-long pas-

Welcome to the future.
The Sunday Dispatch, Greater
Pittstons local news source, has
launchedanapplicationabletobe
usedoncomputers andtablets us-
ing Windows 8 and Window RT.
Nick DeLorenzo, director of
Interactive and New Media for
Impressions Media, the parent
companyof theSundayDispatch,
said the application, commonly
calledanapp, makes it easier than
ever to get news about Greater
Pittston.
The app offers readers the abil-
ity to get news fromthe Dispatch
right from their home screen and
start menu. It also allows users to
share stories without opening
their browser.
The new app was approved by
Microsoft last week and went live
on Monday.
Anyone with a Windows 8
desktop or Windows 8 or Win-
dows RT Tablet can use the app.
Impressions Media is currently
working on iPhone and Android
apps for smart phones.
The app is free and available at
the Windows store online.
This is just another example
of how being part of a much big-
ger media company allows a
small weekly to stay out front,
said Ed Ackerman, Dispatch edi-
tor. Some 45 years ago, the Dis-
patch was the first paper in the re-
gion to go to offset printing and
cold type composition, so we
have a history of keeping on the
leading edge, but things happen
sofast these days we couldnot of-
fer these options for our readers
without thetechnological support
we get from Impressions Media.
We are grateful for that and are
delighted to deliver the Dispatch
via the latest technology. Our
website is already a hit and this
just adds to our reach.
LaunchedonOctober 26, 2012,
Windows 8 will be on all new
Windows-based computers and
Window 8 or Windows RT will
be on all Windows-based tablets.
Windows 8 introduces a new
style of application, Windows
Store apps, which are optimized
for touch screen devices.

Question #1
In 1963, what
did Pittston City
Controller Bert
Ardoline give as
a good reason to
buy an econom-
ical compact-type car?
1963 50 years ago
The merged Northeast
School District planned an
effort to collect per capita taxes
from delinquents.
The merged board initiated a
census of all persons eligible
for school per capita taxes in
Dupont, Avoca, Duryea, Hugh-
estown, Pittston Township,
Jenkins Township and Yates-
ville.
The census takers visited
every home for the purpose of
making a list of eligible, de-
ceased and missing taxpayer
names.
Existing records showed
31,000 per capita taxables on
the rolls but as of the first few
weeks of the new year, only
2,800 had paid the $15 levy.
The Sunday Dispatch In-
quiring Photographer asked
Dupont residents, What do
you think about the proposed
increase of hunting and fishing
license fees in Pennsylvania?
Joseph Tetlak answered, I
think it should be increased, the
state has a lot of game lands
and if the money is used to
improve hunting it will be mon-
ey well spent.
Joseph Yukey Smithonic
added, For my part, the state
can raise it. There will be less
hunters in the woods then may-
be the game will be enough for
those who go out.
Martin Zondlo stated, If
they intend to do some good, all
right. They havent shown any
improvement plans yet.
In 1964, the cost of fishing
licenses in Pennsylvania rose
from $3.75 to $5. In 1963, hunt-
ing license fees increased for
adult resident hunters from
$3.15 to $5.20; junior resident
hunters license created a cost
of $3.20 for hunters 12 through
16 years of age; non-resident
hunters license increased from
$20 to $25.35.
According to a report issued
by the Department of the Interi-
or, 19,831,644 fishermen and
13,999,375 hunters bought
licenses in 1963.
The investment in licenses
was nearly $126 million.
1973 40 years ago
Phase one of plans for the
new Duryea municipal building
was finalized as borough offi-
cials signed a contract with
Olympia Engineering LTD for
demolition of the former Lin-
coln School Building on Main
Street.
Bids were set to be opened
for construction of the new
town hall.
United Foundries on West
Sixth Street, Wyoming, in-
stalled a new pollution control
system at a cost of $103,000.
The High Energy Venturi
Scrubber Air Pollution device
reduced the amount of partic-
ulate emissions from 500 lbs.
per hour to less than 5 lbs. per
hour.
Located at the Sixth Street
site for more than 25 years, the
company manufactured iron
castings for public utility, truck
and auto industries, producing
for companies such as Chrysler
Corporation, I.T.T., White Con-
solidated Industries, New York
City Transit Authority and
Mack Truck.
Catherine Russavage and
John Haduck, playing the
trombone and baritone horn,
respectively, were two of many
Pittston Area Senior High
School band and chorus stu-
dents participating in the dis-
trict band festival sponsored by
the Pennsylvania Music Educa-
tors Association.
Lt. Cdr. A.A. Mitchell, for-
mer conductor of the U.S. Navy
Band in Washington. D.C. was
guest conductor.
According to the Associ-
ations website PMEA.net, early
in the 1970s the associations
goals switched to mini courses
and a core curriculum so every
child could receive musical
education.
The radio show Just for
Today premiered in 1953 on
WPTS radio in the Newrose
Building on South Main Street,
Pittston.
In 1973, Pastor D.R. Wil-
liams, his wife Jean , pianist
Jean Gothard and Calvin
Straub celebrated the 20th year
of the devotional program. The
show began with a familiar
organ arpeggio.
The pastor and his wife
would sing a hymn after which
a devotional message was read
during the 15-minute program.
1983 30 years ago
In honor of the 50th anni-
versary of the Pennsylvania
Music Educators Association,
Pittston Area High School
observed the occasion with a
600-student program initiated
by music teacher Marianna
Smith at Martin Mattei Ele-
mentary School.
Performers included ele-
mentary pre-band, fifth and
sixth grade chorus, junior high
band and chorus, senior high
band and stage band and a
chorus comprised of parents
and students.
We teach music appreciation
classes in elementary and ju-
nior high, and offer music elec-
tives in senior high, stated
Mrs. Smith.
We are getting full support
from the administrators; we are
involving everyone. By seeing
the parents participating, stu-
dents will realize music contin-
ues after their high school
days.

The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals
affrmed a lower court ruling that requires
the state of Ohio to count provisional ballots
cast in the wrong precinct when that mistake
is due to poll worker error.

In an opinion released Monday, the court
reversed a lower court decision, ruling
against home maintenance frm American
Home Services Inc. Norcross-based A Fast
Sign Co., which said its fax machine became
tied up with unsolicited ads for the company,
sued it in 2003 in what became a class-action
lawsuit. A trial court entered a judgment
against American Home Services for $459
million or $1,500 in damages for each of
the 306,000 junk faxes but an appeals
court threw it out. In Mondays ruling, the
supreme court sent the case back to the

In 1983, she was named man-
ager of the Federal Womens
Program at the Depot. She
served as an equal employment
opportunity specialist and in-
sured employment rights for the
depots more than 600 female
employees.
The Womens Program was
established in 1963 to imple-
ment the recommendations of
President John F. Kennedys
Commission on the Status of
Women.
The commission, chaired by
Eleanor Roosevelt, looked into
problems that women encoun-
tered in employment in the
Federal Government. Accord-
ing the Tobyhanna web site
http://www.tobyhanna.army.mil
women make up 16% of the
workforce.
Question #2
The 1980 census results for
Greater Pittston published in
the Sunday Dispatch reflected
the Lithuanian population had
disappeared.
What happened to all those
people?
1993 20 years ago
Joseph Jannone, Adjutant of
Vietnam Veterans Post #66, was
the first to receive the Veteran
of the Year Award for his dedi-
cation and service to the orga-
nization. Jannone was elected
unanimously to receive the
honor and was presented a
plaque by Joe Tavaglione,
commander, and Frank Dona-
hue, vice commander, of the
post.

Answer #1
After getting his Volkswagen
stuck in a tight parking space
packed with snow on South
Main Street, Bert Ardoline
walked into Wimpy Frushons
Newsstand and asked for some
ashes.
Heck said Wimpy, we
dont need ashes for that car.
He and another husky cus-
tomer strutted from the shop
and bodily lifted the rear end of
Ardolines little buggy and set it
onto the roadway.
Answer #2
Calls poured into the Sunday
Dispatch office from area resi-
dents who noticed that Lithua-
nians had not been listed along
with the Italian, Irish, Polish,
German, Hungarian, Norwe-
gian and Ukranian population
in the 1980 census.
Annemarie Sewatsky, for-
mer secretary of Pittston Area
School District, pointed out that
in the 1970 census there were
27,000 Lithuanians in Luzerne
County.
She added, They didnt all
leave in 10 years.
After reviewing the informa-
tion, it was concluded the gov-
ernment must have listed the
Lithuanian population for the
area with the Polish total as the
figures showed approximately
20,000 Italians, 20,000 Irish
and 49,000 Polish citizens.
The Sunday Dispatch prom-
ised to investigate the situation.
The reason women dont play
football is because 11 of them

Nearly a year and a half since
an early morning fire heavily
damaged Gricos Restaurant, the
Exeter landmark is open for
business.
Business owner Pat Green-
field cut the ribbon Friday eve-
ning announcing her grand re-
opening surrounded by her staff
and dozens of loyal friends and
customers. Numb is how
Greenfield said she felt, as she
took in the reality that her
Wyoming Ave business was fi-
nally back.
Among the well wishers was
Mary Pat Coleman. Gricos has
a lot of sentimental value. My
husband and I had our first diner
date her, she said.
Exeter Council Member John
Morgan and his wife Michelle
also shared a first date at Gricos.
"We are happy to have her back,
she is such asset to Exeter Bor-
ough, Morgan said.
It has been a very long year
and a half, said Shauna Strel-
lish, the business manager, but
it is very worthwhile because of
Pat, she is a wonderful boss, that
is why I am here.
Greenfield and her loyal staff
worked tirelessly to clean up af-
ter the fire and rebuild. I dont
know how she does it, but she
does and she always has a smile
on her face. I never met anyone
like her, Strellish said.
Bus person Erin Baltusavich
echoed, Strellishs thoughts. We
are like a family, we all worked
together to make this happen,
she said.
Strellish said the business has
gone through several transitions
since the fire, first setting up a
kitchen at the old Seton Catholic
High School, where Greenfield
and the staff ran a successful ca-
tering business. Greenfield
served breakfast on Sunday
mornings at the Moose Club in
West Pittston for victims of the
2011 flood.
It has been a long road back
since flames started in the base-
ment inthe earlyhours of August
26, 2011, and quickly spread to
the first and second floors.
Greenfield narrowly escaped af-
ter being rescued by firefighters.
Long time friend Bernie Casse-
tori credits the volunteer fire-
fighters for saving the bar and
privacy booths, both hallmarks
of the restaurant.
Now Greenfield says there
will be some new menu items to
go along with the newdecor, but
restaurant regular Erin Weiss
hopes some old favorites will be
back, like the informal wine tast-
ing events titled Women Who
Wine.
Gricos will open for dinner
service starting on Monday and
reservations are required for the
first week. Gricos is open Mon-
day through Thursday, 5-10 p.m.,
and Friday and Saturday, 5-11
p.m.

rantoni became a Luzerne County Court
of Common Pleas judge.
Luzerne County Court of Common
Pleas President Judge Thomas Burke sub-
mitted the proposed plan under a directive
fromthe administrative office of Pennsyl-
vania courts that seeks to eliminate 50
magisterial districts in Pennsylvania. Pitt-
ston and Jenkins townships and Yatesville
are currently in the territory of District
Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township
whose district would be reduced to Laflin
and Plains Township if Judge Burkes
plan is approved.
The plan to move the townships and Ya-
tesville move toPittstonmust be approved
by the State Supreme Court.
We encourage the Supremes to hurry
up and get it done one way or the other
because there are potential candidates
who would like to throwtheir hats into the
ring for the seat, but they cant because
they dont know the circumference of the
ring.
For example, potential candidates Jack-
ie Musto Carroll and Girard Mecadon live
Yatesville and Jenkins Township, respec-
tively.
They would like to announce but since
they have to live within the boundries of
the district in order to run, they are in a
kind of limbo, because the boundries of
the district are not known.
And the first day to circulate and file
nomination petitions in Pennsylvania is
February 19. Thats only a little over two
weeks away.
Surely the plan will be approved before
then, but it wouldnt be fair to the candi-
dates to wait until the 11th hour.
Or to the voters.
We expect and hope the plan will be ap-
proved within the next few days.
Court must
act now

A lonely place on a cold winters day
I went to work on Wednesday June13, 2012, like any other day.
I never came home until October 4, 2012.
I was hit bya car drivenbyanelderlywomanonthe jobsite and
was seriously injured. I spent the first three days at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley, the summer at Geisinger Danville and the fall
at John Heinz in Wilkes-Barre.
From the first day I was hurt, there were people helping my
family. Our lives were turned upside down and I still have a long
road ahead, but I need to thank all the wonderful people who
helped my family and me.
There are no words in this world to express the love that is in
my heart for all the people who were there for us. I am truly
touched and blessed.
Although it is impossible to name everyone who was involved,
we would like to thank the doctors and nurses at all three facil-
ities I was at, especially Dr. Casterline and his wonderful staff at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley. Their quick and efficient care in the
first critical hours saved my life.
Toall the other doctors andnurses whotookcare of me, youall
played a huge part in my recovery. Without you, I would not be
where I am at today.
We would like to thank Msgr. Sempa for his visits to Danville
and for providing a place for my wife to stay when she needed it.
We would also like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Melberger and their
son and wife, Mick and Amy, for providing a home for my wife,
Mary, and family to stay the whole duration of my time in Dan-
ville. Without that, it would have been impossible for Mary to be
by my side.
A huge thank you to the West Pittston Committee that ran a
coin drop and organized a wiffle ball tournament. I dont know
everybody who was involved but you all hold a special place in
our hearts forever.
To our family, friends and neighbors who literally fed my fam-
ily and were only a phone call away, how do I say thank you to
that only that I love you all? To all the many people and busi-
nesses who donated money during this hard time, it is greatly
appreciated.
I always said there was not a better place to raise a family than
West Pittston. You can see by the actions of the whole communi-
ty during this hard time why these words are true. I knowit is by
Gods hand that I am here, but I would also like thank God for
blessing me by putting all these special people in my life.
All our love and gratitude,
Mary and Joseph Rubino and family

T.V. LAWYERS
Turn on your T.V. and youll
see that there are many lawyers
seeking to represent you. Each
one has a team. Problem is, they
dont tell you which member of the
team will be handling your case.
I promise that Ill personally handle
all of the details of your case from
start to nish. Thats a promise the
T.V. lawyers wont make. Try it. Call
a T.V. lawyer and ask him or her to
promise that they will personally
handle your case and not hand
you off to one of their associates
whose name you never heard. Tell
them that you expect to meet with
them every time you come to the
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.
Ive been personally representing
injured clients for over 25 years.
Call me today if youve suffered a
serious injury. Ill be glad to speak
with you.
Magisterial district judges
are elected to six-year terms
and are paid $72,000 a year. As
a senior judge, Barilla is paidon

The proposal keeps Magist-
erial Judge Joe Carmodys dis-
trict the same Exeter, West
Pittston, West Wyoming,
Wyoming and Exeter. The pro-
posal eliminates one court seat,
the Freeland seat.
Accordingtothe Administra-
tive Office of Pennsylvania
Courts, judicial redistricting is
requiredevery10years todeter-
mine howto allocate state court
systemresources. The plan is to
reduce the states 539 magist-
erial districts by roughly10 per-
cent or about 55seats statewide.
In the past several weeks, the
state Supreme Court has ap-
proved the redistricting plans
for seven counties, so Luzerne
County may not be far off.
Well just have to wait and
see, Mecadon said.
waits until after the election to
approve the new district, it will
disenfranchise residents of Jen-
kins Township, Pittston Town-
ship and Yatesville because
they will have no vote or say in
who will be their Magistrate for
the next six years.
Mecadon said the delay is
holding up his campaign.
I get supporters calling me
and asking me why Imnot run-
ning, he said. Theyre asking
who they should support.
Musto Carroll, the former
Luzerne County District Attor-
ney, said her hands are tied. I
am interested in the seat, but I
cant make a formal announce-
ment until I find out if Ill be in
that district, she said. I fig-
ured they would have straight-
ened all this out by now.

good.
Monsignor JohnBendik, pastor
of St. Johns and friend of Hold-
ens, said the choir has doubled in
size since Holden has began the
position.
Joe is just so gifted and cre-
ative, Bendik said. So eager and
excitedabout music andthe Litur-
gy. Were lucky to have him.
In effort to raise money for the
church and its many youth and
outreach programs, the Holy
Name Society and the Altar and
Rosary Society are co-hosting an
upcoming Night at The Races
fundraiser event.
Holden, who is the chairman
for the event, called the societies
the backbone of the church.
These people do the heavy lift-
ing and a lot of the fundraising,
he said, and Imlooking forward
to fulfilling [the duty of] Master
of Ceremonies.
According to Holden, who is
also a member of the parish with
bothof his childrenenrolledinthe
religious education program, St.
Johns has opened up a whole dif-
ferent set of friendships and rela-
tionships in his life.
I love working with them.
These people come together and
are totally committed to helping
others, he said of the St. Johns
community. The parish is like a
beating heart; its the life of the
city of Pittston.
All told, he spent a total of 16
years in Catholic education. He
graduated from Cabrini College
in Radnor, Delaware County, with
a B.A. in English and communi-
cation.
Holden joined WBRE in Sep-
tember, 2005. His career began in
2001 at WPHL-TV in Philadel-
phia, where he manned the as-
signment desk, coveringPhiladel-
phia and the surrounding area.
Two years later, he moved to
Charlottesville, Virginia. There
he was the 11 p.m. reporter, cov-
ering a wide range of issues in
Thomas Jefferson country.
Holden is also an accomplished
musician. Hired at 15, he was one
of the youngest music directors
employed by an Archdiocese of
Philadelphia parish. There he di-
rected a 30-member choir and ac-
companied a full-roster of masses
and parish events. Holden, his
wife, Kelly and two children, Jo-
seph and Julianne, live in
Swoyersville.

Greek dish and the new restau-
rants are onpar withhis expecta-
tions.
Maria Downing, Mahalias
daughter and partner, told the
story of her fathers entrepre-
neurship.
Mahalias mi-
grated to the Unit-
ed States in 1972
with his wife and
three daughters.
He opened a pizza
place in Manhat-
tan, N.Y., called
Supreme Coffee
Shop and stayed
there for 18 years.
After moving to
Mountain Top in 1990, he
opened Gyros Restaurant there
and ran a thriving business.

Take 30 years of restaurant en-
trepreneurship, rich Greek heri-
tage, good family support and

kind restaurant.
At Gyros Restau-
rant, a corner take-out
joint with a menu
larger than its dining
room, they pronounce
their signature dish gy-
ro the correct way, like
yee-row, and make ev-
erything from scratch.
Owner Apostolos
Malahias, who goes by
Paul, arrives to work every
morning before the doors open
to whip up fresh tzatzki sauce,
similar to sour cream but with
garlic and cucumbers, and to get
breakfast started to open at 6
a.m.
They boast a $2.55 breakfast
of eggs, home fries andtoast. But
the breakfast menu is loaded
with other fixings like Belgian
waffles, breakfast wraps, pan-
cakes andFrenchtoast. Mahalias
also has a few homeland-in-
spired items for breakfast like
omelets with spinach, feta
cheese and the gyro wraps foun-
dation, seasoned lamb. The rest
of the menu is extensive. In addi-
tion to the Greek items, the menu
includes appetizers, poultry and
pork, seafood, pasta, pizza, hoa-
gies, BBQ, cheesesteaks, ham-
burgers, finger food, salads,
wraps and hot dogs.
Suzanne and James Panzetta
sat inthe diningroomona windy
Thursday night with their grand-
daughter, Amy, and her boy-
friend, Joseph New.
In front of them were stacked
takeout boxes. They had just fin-
ished eating and had leftovers to
go.
James, who had ordered
chicken wings, said the portion
sizes impressed him. Suzanne
had ordered baked ziti with moz-
zarella and ricotta and had to
take some home. Amy had a tur-
key sub but could not finish the
whole thing. Joseph was the only
one without takeout. He said he
was thrilledabout a local place to
get gyros. He said he loves the

Mountain Top, nobody but no-
body was selling gyros, Down-
ing said. Customers would
come from as far as Scranton.
We had orders to Tobyhanna Ar-
my Depot for 150 gyros every
week.
In 2008, Mahalias packed up
his family and went back to
Greece for a few years to see
their remaining relatives. When
they returned to the United
States, they wasted no time get-
ting another restaurant going.
It has been only two weeks
since the grand opening and em-
ployee LoriAnn Cadora said she
is starting to see repeat custom-
ers. She said she expects busi-
ness will continue to grow as
more people discover their
hearty menu options and old-
fashioned Greek hospitality.

gisterial District Judge for dis-
trict 11-1-04. The district is com-
prisedof Avoca, Dupont, Duryea

the city of Pittston.
OBrien, a Pittston resident,
graduated from Pittston Area
High School and attended Lu-
zerne County Community Col-
lege and Marywood University
where he studied Business Ad-
ministration and Computer In-
formation Systems.
He has been very active in the
Greater Pittston area serving as
Mayor of Avoca for three years,
elected to three terms on the Pitt-
ston Area School Board serving
as President in 2007, and served
Luzerne County as the Recorder
of Deeds for a four year term.
OBrien remarked, I have a
strong sense of duty to our com-
munity, and have chosen public
service because of my firm be-
lief that we must all give of our-
selves in order to ensure the safe-
ty and welfare of every citizen. I
want tobringmylife experiences
and common sense to the Dis-
trict Judge position in Greater
Pittston.

Ann Snopkowski, of Dupont,
and has a daughter Ella, 5, and
son Seamus, 17.
He is the son of Jack OBrien
and Marie McGlynn OBrien,
both residents of Duryea.

Friendly Sons
February1, Friday, was National Red Day for ladies. February tra-
ditionally is thought of as heart month as valentines are every-
where. The focus on this campaign are our hearts. National Red Day
encourages us to learn more about key guidelines to keep our hearts
healthy and good habits that keep our hearts healthy too.
First dont smoke, if you do, try to quit. Smoking increases your
risk of a heart attack two to six times more. It also increases your risk
of a stroke and cancer. Next, aim for a healthy weight. The key is
aim. If you feel that you need to lose weight, first find a beginning
step or action to meet our goal to focus on or aim, and then make a
planof action. Once youhave tackledit, move ontothe second. Small
steps have shown to have a chance to be lifelong.
Third, know your numbers. Below are the recommended ranges.
Blood pressure, less than 120/80.
Total cholesterol, less than 200 mg/dL.
High Density Lipoproteins, or HDL, greater than 40 mg/dL.
Low density lipoproteins or LDL, less than 100 mg/dL.
Blood Glucose, fasting, under 99 mg/dL and Body Mass Index,
between 18.5 and 24.9.
Becoming more active helps with meeting many of these key gui-
delines. It was alarming for me to learn that less than 25 percent of
Americans walk or cycle for more than10 minutes continuously in a
typical weekfor transportation. Here is a beginningpoint that most of
us can start with. Find one job that you presently rely on motor
transportation and change it into a walk or using a bicycle.
For instance, I plan to walk to cash my check inside of driving.
Many of these are personal and may take some creative juices.
A second step may be to look at the number of times we prepare
foods in our own kitchen and eat at home. If you do enjoy a dinner out
as a reward for your hard week or work, try buying a more expen-
sive lean cut of meat or fish and enjoy a dinner for two at home. Share
the responsibility of cooking among the family if its a chore for you.
Eating at home, may increase the number of vegetables serve and
reduce the sodium in our meal both key actions to strengthen your
heart health. Last but not least, know your numbers. If you do not
know your numbers, take a moment to make an appointment with
your doctor. Its February, heart month. Be kind to your heart!
Enjoy this easy to make soup. It is good for your heart!
Quick & Easy Black Bean Soup
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can low-salt chicken or vegetable broth
1/2 can water
1 cup stewed or other canned tomatoes
1/2 cup salsa (mild or hot!!!)
1 Tablespoon chili powder
1.Pour rinsed beans into a pan. Mash with a potato masher or fork.
2.Add broth, water, tomatoes, salsa and chili powder.
3.Bring to a boil, lower heat. Cover and simmer slowly for about 15
minutes.
Other Ideas:
Use other cooked or canned beans instead of black beans.
Add frozen or canned vegetables such as corn, green beans or
peas.
Use other fresh vegetables in season such as green pepper or zuc-
chini.
Top with freshly grated or thinly sliced cheese.
Add fresh cilantro and chopped scallions if you like

and a collection of non-perisha-
ble items to be donated to the
food pantry at the First United
Methodist Church in West Pitt-
ston.
All the monies collected will
be given to the Salvation Army,
West Pittston, and the First Unit-
ed Methodist Church food pan-
try, West Pittston.
For information call the
church at 654-1411.

School classes will facilitate to-
days collection. Sunday School

years and its always been that
way, he said.
JimRuby, one of the six owners
of Bo Brothers on Wyoming Ave-
nue in Wyoming, said its one of
the busiest days of the year.
He said all of the owners, him-
self, his wife, Marlene Ruby, Jo-
seph and Jeannie Suchocki, and
Vince and Maria Sicconne will be
working.
Were a pizza and wings place,
so on Super Bowl Sunday, were
slammed, he said.
He said Super Bowl Sunday is
especially busy if theres a local
team playing, such as the Phila-
delphia Eagles or Pitts-
burgh Steelers.
Mike Savokinas,
owner of Savos Pizza
in the Pittston Plaza,
said hes ready to make
400 to 500 pizzas.
He has five drivers
on the road delivering
food.
Its a day for all
your loyal customers,
but its also a day you
pick up a lot of new
customers, he said.
Were now on the
second and even third
generations, he add-
ed.
Savos has been in the area for
49 years in April.
People hear about us and come
from all around, Scranton, Tunk-
hannock, Wilkes-Barre, Falls,
Savokinas said.
Savokinas said he prefers not to
pick a team to root for in fear he
may alienate some customers.
Id hate to say Im for San
Francisco and have a loyal cus-
tomer get mad because hes a Bal-
timore fan, he said. Its just a
game, but people take football ve-
ry seriously around here.
Savokinas said hes had wings
now for 18 years and theyre just
as popular as pizza on Super Bowl
Sunday.
People order 80-100-120
wings, he said. Larger orders are
usually made in advance.
Well go through thousands
and thousands of wings, he said.
People really like them.
snap), Zinkavich said 75 percent
of the business on Super Bowl
Sunday is from takeout.
By kickoff were winding
down, she said. Most of the food
is picked up by kickoff. The rest
theyll pick up at halftime.
The place is so busy on Super
Bowl Sunday, they have to close
on Monday to clean up.
We steam clean the entire
kitchen, Zinkavich said.
Despite it being Super Bowl
Sunday, at Sabati-
nis Pizza in Exe-
ter it doesnt
match the traffic
the restaurant
does on Fridays,
especially during
Lent.
Alot of people
have it into their
weekly pattern to
get Sabs on Fri-
days, said Lindo
Sabatini. Super
Bowl Sunday is a
good day, but not
a great day. Fri-
days are great days.
Sabatini will be slammed for
takeouts between 3 and 6 p.m.,
and it will slow down until half-
time.
Then well get another round,
he said. Itll pick up again.
He said while many places have
dozens of sauces, Sabatinis spe-
cializes in six.
Sabatini said hes proud of the
restaurants takeout beer selec-
tion.
We have over 500 varieties of
craft and import beer, he said.
Super Bowl Sunday will be a ve-
ry good beer day.
He calls the beer takeout menu
the beer bible. The majority of
the beer is kept in the back coolers
because there isnt enough room
in the front display coolers.
Pat Lizza, of Lizzas Mezzo
Mezzo, called Super Bowl Sun-
day huge. Pizza, wings and

TONY CALLAIO/FOR THE SUNDAY DISPATCH
Gina Marianacci holds a copy
of the 1989 Dispatch Super
sunday issue with her on the
cover.
all, it was a team not a town he
liked. He has no affinity for the
current Browns team, which was
created as an expansion team in
1996 to mollify fans outraged
over the move.
I hate them, Erzar said of the
Browns. Right after the Steel-
ers. I love gettingonthe fans who
stayed with the Browns.
One of Erzars earliest favor-
ites when he was a Browns fan is
Bill Nelsen, the Browns quarter-
back from1968 to 1972.
Erzars all-time favorite
Browns player is Greg Pruitt, an
All-Pro running back from Ok-
lahoma who had three consecu-
tive 1,000 plus rushing seasons
for the Browns from 1976 to
1978.
His earliest memory of a spe-
cific game is a disappointing
one, a loss to the Minnesota Vik-
ings in the 1970 NFL champion-
ship game for a spot in Super
Bowl IV.
As a sportswriter for the Times
Leader, Erzar knows something
about the game of football. He
said the Ravens should make a
point of hittingthe 49ers quarter-
back when they can, whether he
carries the ball or not.
Asked where he will watch the
game today, he said, Some-
where where nobody will bother
me.
That somewhere is the base-
ment of his home in West
Wyoming, where hell be decked
out in purple from head-to-toe
(he even has purple sneakers)
with his young son, Thaddeus,
and his Raven that sits on its
perch with a Steelers doll in his
claws.
Erzar predicts a 28-10 Ravens
win. That losing streak at the
end of the season, there were a
lot of factors. They are playing
excellent now. Theyre healthy.

In the towns
Growing up as the daughter of
one of Avocas longest serving
Boy Scout leaders and the little
sister of my brother, Tom, an Ea-
gle Scout, I learned the value of
Scouting from a very early age.
For my dad, Jack Borthwick,
Scouting was much more than
pitching tents and tying knots.
For him, it was more like a voca-
tion. He felt a personal respon-
sibility as a good man of God to
help make this world better. And
I think he did.
But its not just me who thinks
it. It was evidenced by the out-
pouring of admiration many of
his former Scouts shared with
me before and after his death. In
fact, one man told me that my
dad gave his son the childhood
he could never give him. If thats
not a testament of making a dif-
ference in this world, I dont
know what is.
So you see the fact that Scout
Sunday is taking place today in
churches all across America
means a great deal to me. But,
more importantly, it should
mean a great deal to those of you
who were involved with Scout-
ing or have any opportunity to let
your child take advantage of it
today.
To learn more about Scouting
and to celebrate Scout Sunday,
be sure to see members of Cub
and Boy Scout Troop 316 and the
Venturing Crews as they partici-
pate in the 9:30 a.m. Mass today,
Feb. 3 at St. Marys Church, 715
Hawthorne St. Scouting will not
only give your child a chance to
learn good life skills but also
learnhowtocontribute andbuild
a more just society.

Have any of you ladies made a
NewYears resolution to become
more involved in helping others?
If you have (or even if you
havent), there is a new womens
group in town that is perfect for
you.
The newly-formed Nativity
Parish Womens Society is hav-
ing a membership drive this
month. The main mission of this
group is to seek and assist indi-
viduals in need. Those people in-
clude the homebound, people
living in retirement centers or
nursing homes or any other per-
son experiencing difficulty. As
the group members assist these
individuals, they also strive to
make their day a little brighter
and to let themknowsomeone is
thinking about them.
The society meets monthly,
but it is not mandatory to attend
the meetings. All members will
be informed of the groups activ-
ities via the parish bulletin and
bulletin board. Dues are $10 per
year.
The society has recently con-
ducted several successful com-
munity service projects, includ-
ing assembling and distributing
Thinking of You Christmas
packages for needy individuals
and a food drive for the local
SPCA. The group is currently
conducting a drive to purchase
oxygen masks to be used on dogs
and cats for local fire and rescue
units. Because many fire depart-
ments lack these apparatus, they
are unable to help pets if they be-
come overcome by smoke due to
a lack of oxygen. With these
masks, which cost $68 each, pets
will have an increased chance of
survival.
Monetary donations can be
made by placing them in the
large containers in the back of
Holy Rosary Church, 125 Ste-
phenson St., or Sacred Heart of
Jesus Church, 529 Stephenson
St. Donations can also be placed
in the collection basket at any of
the weekend Masses, mailed to
Holy Rosary Church or placed in
the collection containers at Main
Street business My Sisters
Kitchen or the Family Prescrip-
tion Counter.
For more information about
this project or joining this new
group, call Denise Decker, presi-
dent at 457-5420 or 677-7820;
Michelle Piontek, vice president
at 498-9442; or Beverly Dulny,
secretary/treasurer at 457-3158.
Betty Minchak is the spiritual
moderator for the group.

The Patriots shot 5-for-6 in
overtime. The only time they
missed, Ali Brady got the re-
boundandscoredtotake the lead
for good with 1:02 left.
We kept our cool, Pittston
Area coach Kathy Healey said.
We do a lot of work on situa-
tions in practice. The kids are
confident.
They were also motivated by
an earlier overtime game with
Hazleton Area resulting in one
of their two losses.
Hopkins, who was honored
prior to the game for recently
scoring her 1,500th career point,
hit one of two free throws twice
in the final 38 seconds to close

Girls
Pittston Areas defense shut
down Dallas at the start.
The offense took care of the
rest.
The result was a 66-46
Wyoming Valley Conference
Division I boys basketball romp
on a night when the Patriots shot
better than 50 percent and
openedthe leadtoas manyas 29
points.
I thought we moved the ball
well against the zone, Pittston
Area coach Alan Kiesinger
said. I thought we were patient
against it and we were able to do
some damage with the interior
passing.
Mason Gross scored17 points
and blocked four shots to lead
the Patriots. He was also part of
that passing, drawing attention
at the high post and hitting
teammates for easy shots with
his four assists.
Hes able todumpthe ball off
to (James) Tobisch or another
cutter, Kiesinger said.
Before the offense got rolling,
the Patriots were able to take
charge by shutting down the
Mountaineers for an 11-2 lead
after one quarter.
We wanted to jam up the
lane, Kiesinger said. Last
game we played against them,
they hurt us with penetration.
We really tried to take the drives
away.
Matt Ross, who had 16 points
in the first meeting when Pitt-
ston Area did not take charge
until late, managed just one
field goal while scoring 11.
Jay Crawford did a terrific
job on the Ross kid, Kiesinger
said.
Tyler McGarry hit three 3-
pointers in the second quarter,
including two in a 16-6 burst to
end the half and take a 32-17
lead.
McGarry, Tobisch and Mi-
chael Schwab all finished with
11 points.
The play of Michael Schwab
was outstanding, Kiesinger
said.
Schwab grabbed a team-high
nine rebounds and ran the of-
fense with five assists and just
one turnover despite Dallas at-
tempts to pressure the ball-han-
dler.
The Patriots blew the game
open by outscoring the Moun-
taineers, 29-10, for a stretch of
nearly11minutes spanning both
halves.
Gross had seven points, three
rebounds, two blocked shots
and an assist in the first 5:36 of
the second half when Pittston
Area extended the lead to 45-21.
He added another basket before
the quarter was over and com-
piled the 17-point effort without
stepping on the floor in the final
eight minutes.
Pittston Area shot 14-for-24
(58.3 percent) in the middle two
quarters.
The Patriots built the lead all
the way to 62-33 midway
through the fourth quarter on a
three-point play by Kyle Gattu-
so and a free throw by Carmen
LoBrutto shortly after both
teams began emptying their
benches.
Pittston Area improved to 7-3
in the division and 11-7 overall.
Hazleton Area 67,
Pittston Area 45
Sal Biasi scored 19 points to
lead Hazleton Area to a 67-45
victory over visiting Pittston
Area Tuesday.
Mason Gross led the Patriots
with nine points.
The Cougars led 16-11 after
one quarter and stretched the
advantage to 31-20 at halftime
and 51-37 after three quarters.
Mathematically, at least, the
Patriots (7-3) have a shot at the
Division 1 title, though it is a
long shot. With four games left,
they are one game behind sec-
ond place Hazleton (8-2), two
behind division leader Valley
West (9-1) and game ahead of
Crestwood (6-3.)
The Patriots would likely
have to win out, that means
beating Valley West and hope
Valley West loses one other
game. In addition to PA, Valley
West has Dallas, Berwick, like-
ly wins, and Hazleton.
In the District 2 seeding
standings, Valley West and Ha-
zleton are 4A, so the Patriots,
3A,wont have to play them in
the District tournament. Right
now th Patriots are third in the
District 2 3A standings behind
GAR and Abington Heights.
The tournament is open. The
Warriors are 12th out of the 17
eligible teams in 3A.
Wyoming Area 50,
Northwest 46
Bart Chupka led a fourth-
quarter rally to carry Wyoming
Area to its second WVC win of
the season, 50-46 over North-
west.
Chupka scored 11 of his 17
points in the fourth quarter to
help the Warriors overcome a
39-35 deficit.
Jordan Zezza also had 17
points.
Devon Mazonkey had 16
points and Tyler Meininger add-
ed 11 for the Rangers.
Nanticoke 58,
Wyoming Area 43
Nanticoke took charge early
Friday night on the way to a 58-
43 WVC Division II victory
over Wyoming Area.
The Trojans led14-6 after one
quarter and 27-17 at halftime.
Mike Malshefski scored 19
points to lead Nanticoke.
Bart Chupka scored 15 points
and Jordan Zezza added 11 for
the Warriors.

The Lady Patriots swimmers
defeated Meyers 112-74 in the
PA pool on Wednesday solidi-
fing their hold on first place in
Division 3. The win was the
teams 32nd consecutive in the
WVC D-3. They havent lost
since January 20, 2010.
With two meets left against
teams they beat by big scores
earlier in the season Coughlin
and Wyoming Area The Lady
Patriots will likely win their third
consecutive D-3 championship
with a third consecutive unde-
feated season
This seasons title, if it hap-
pens, will be the coolest, since
PA lost over 20 seniors from last
season.
We started in early Septem-
ber with open swims, Pittston
Area coach Amy Hazlet said. I
had 20-25 kids, and a lot of them
didnt know how to swim. I have
11that never swambefore. Every
day we increased the yardage
and tried to get better.
I have some kids that were re-
ally average last year and dedi-
cated themselves to the program.
Without that dedication and hard
work, we wouldnt have won to-
day.
The victory over the second-
place Mohawks didnt come
with bold tinkering with the li-
neups. Mia Nardone fresh off a
first-place in the 200 IM was
switched to the 200 freestyle, a
move that pitted herself against
Meyers top swimmer, Eilish
Hoban.
Swimming the event for the
just the secondtime inher career,
Nardone skated to a 2:09.82
first-place showing over Hoban
that gave the Patriots an early
boost in the scoring. Nardone al-
so took first in the 100 fly at
1:04.28.
I did something crazy today,
Hazlet said. Mia usually swims
the 200 IM and won the event at
the Ray Wills Invitational at
Wyoming Valley West. And I put
her upagainst (Hoban) inthe 200
free. She only swam that race
one other time before.
Pittston Area (7-0) benefited
largely from the diving event,

OBITUARIES
Rosemary Dolly Yunkunis
passed away unexpectedly on
Monday, Jan. 28, 2013, at home.
Dolly was a celebration of life
living it to the fullest every
moment until her final day. She
still actively sang and performed
comedy several times monthly at
nursing homes and assisted liv-
ing centers throughout North-
eastern Pennsylvania. Her char-
ismatic personality brought
smiles to the faces of everyone
around her.
Born on July 8, 1929, in Man-
hattan to the late Anthony and
Rose Gentile Ruggere, she grew
up in Luzerne and attended
school there. She relocated to
Port Jervis, N.Y., after meeting
the love of her life, the late Stan-
ley Thomas Yunkunis, and spent
nearly a year living in Mexico
City. She eventually returned to
Pennsylvania, where she resided
in Kingston for the past 47 years.
She was a member of St. John
the Evangelist Church, Pittston.
She began singing on the radio
as a child and continued her love
for music and theater throughout
her life. She entertained all over
the East Coast as well as in Las
Vegas, the Bahamas and Bermu-
da.
Local employment included
working at the Hi-Lite Lounge,
Kingston, as a hostess and sing-
ing in Chapter V, Baths Pub,
Carriage Stop Inn, Kozy K and
Klockos, among other places.
She sang with King Henry and
the Showmen
in Jim Thorpe
for several
years and was
also a member
of the Sweet
Adelines and
the ILGWU Chorus.
However, she was not known
onlyfor beinganentertainer. She
was an avid volunteer, and for
nearly 30 years donated her time
to many civic organizations in-
cluding John Heinz, RSVP, the
VFW, the American Legion, La-
dies of Lions, the AmericanCan-
cer Society, the Council of the
Blind and the Association for the
Blind, to name a few. She was
honored by President George W.
Bush in 2004 and was asked by
the White House to greet him as
he stepped off Air Force One in
Avoca and accompany the presi-
dential motorcade to Wilkes-
Barre.
An integral part of her life was
her daily involvement with the
Kingston Senior Center for more
than 25 years. She produced sev-
eral Dollies Follies variety
shows and cultivated many
friendships there. She always
thought herself lucky to have led
such a full life and to have seen
and done all that she did, al-
though she considered her
proudest accomplishments to be
her three loving children.
In addition to her parents and
husband, she was preceded in
death by her stepmother, Veron-
ica Fox Ruggere; brother Robert
Ruggere; and sister Jean Marie
Saya.
She is survived by her chil-
dren, Stanley J. Yunkunis and
wife, Carol, Ellicott City, Md.;
Elizabeth Bendik, Shavertown,
and David Yunkunis and wife
Christine, Larksville. She was
extremely proud of her eight
grandchildren whose names she
sang in her rendition of her sig-
nature song, Hello Dolly; Jen-
nifer, Nathan, Stefanie, Kaitlyn
and Timothy Bendik, and Chris-
tiana, Esq., Tara and David Yun-
kunis. She is also survived by her
brothers Gene Ruggere, Court-
dale; John and Samuel Ruggere,
South Carolina; Anthony Rug-
gere and Howard Fox, Florida;
sisters Clara Casterline, Exeter;
Tony Weiss, Trucksville, and
Christine Leary, Florida; anaunt,
uncle, cousins and numerous
nieces and nephews.
Dolly will definitely be mis-
sed by all who knewher. We nev-
er thought we would have to say
goodbye so soon, but we will
never forget her impact on our
lives.
A Mass of Christian Burial
will be held from St. John the
Evangelist Church, Pittston, on
Monday, Feb. 4 at 11 a.m. with
Monsignor John J. Bendik offi-
ciating. Interment will be held in

Stanley Ruby Wroblewski,
91, of Espy Street, Hanover sec-
tion of Nanticoke, passed away

blewski.
Ruby took a tremendous
amount of pride in our military.
He was a World War II veter-
an, having served with the U.S.
Navy aboard PTboats in the Pa-
cific Theater of Operations.
Riskingit all, he tookthe chance
to serve side by side with his
brother Ray on a10-hour bomb-
ing mission.
It was surely his positive atti-
tude and dedication to getting
the job done right that made that
perilous mission a success for
two brothers and our country.
On Nov. 20, 1948 he married
the love of his life, and best
friend, the former Eleanor So-
kol. Ruby and Eleanor shared
over 60 years of happiness,
building a loving family togeth-
er.
Ruby admired and took such
great pride in his family, and
they meant the world to him. It
is safe to say his family was ev-
erything to him.

hard Faber in Mountain Top for
14 years.
In 1972, he
and his wife,
Eleanor, estab-
lished Rubys

After a hard days work, Ruby
loved enjoying a drink with his
customers and always had a
smile on his face. He took great
pride in making every experi-
ence a good one at Rubys Inn
and genuinely enjoyed every
second of it.
Ruby worked side by side
with his son Jim. Ruby and Jim
were not only father and son,
they were also best friends. Ru-
by taught his son everything he
needed to know to follow in his
footsteps and taught him well.
Up until Rubys final days, he
was a permanent fixture at his
establishment. Ruby will be
missed by each and every one of
his customers, all of whom he
considered to be family.
Ruby was a simple man with
simple ways. He believed hard
work never came easy but love
did. Akind word, a gentle smile
or a simple hello was no effort
for him. Ruby loved and cared
about every person whom he
met. He simply enjoyed being
kind.
He was a member of St. John
the Baptist Orthodox Church,
Hanover section of Nanticoke; a
former member of American
Legion Post 350, Nanticoke; the
Alden Rod and Gun Club and
United Citizens Club, Hanover
section of Nanticoke.

immediate family, being pre-
cededindeathbyhis sister, Ceil,

blewski, Pittston; Kim Colleran

family, Alice also had a pas-

licity director for the Knights
of Lithuania Council 143,
where she also received her
3rd Degree. She and her hus-
band, John, proudly attended
the National Conventions of
the Knights of Lithuania as
delegates.
Alice was very active in her
life, working when younger as
a volunteer for the Duryea
Ambulance Association, being
associated with the Democratic
organization and acting as an
inspector at the polls and serv-
ing as treasurer in St. Josephs
Rosary Society. She was a
member of the Holy Rosary
Christian Mothers during her
daughters schooling.
Mrs. Puscavage was also an
active supporter of the Wyom-
ing Valley Girl Scout Council,
acting in leadership positions
with the Penns Woods Girl
Scout Council in Troops 173
and 199. Because of her ef-
forts, Duryea Girl Scouts were
able to be the first ones locally
to achieve 1st Class Ranking.
She was a very kind and
generous person and a loving
and wonderful mother.
Alice was loved and admired
by all who knew her. Her
kindness and loving ways will
be missed.

FAITH
Continued from page 5B
Holy Rosary School in Duryea an-
nounces the following:
Sincere thanks to all of our Holy Ros-
ary School families who came out to
celebrate Catholic Schools Week to-
gether at the Sacred Liturgy of our feed-
er parishes and at the Open House held
Sunday, Jan. 27. We also extend our
most sincere thanks and appreciation to
the parish communities who allowed us
to participate in Catholic Schools
Week Masses. It was an honor taking
part in the Mass and representing both
our Parish and School Families.
Catholic Schools Week
It was unfortunately a very cold and
icy Catholic Schools Week, but despite
delays and cancellations, we made the
best of it and squeezed in all the fun a
week could hold.
We were awed by our students in
the dress rehearsal for the Talent Show.
Who knew we had so many fabulous
singers, dancers, karate experts and
children with such great and unique tal-
ents?
Fun additions to uniforms and Dress
Up days were enjoyed by all. The bake
sale was a hit, as was Sports Day. The
children had a blast shopping at the
Flea Market, and of course, saved
some money for the Candy Sale.
Physical Fitness Thursday was terrific
fun for parents to be part of gym class
AND to play in a volleyball game.
The PepRallywas a high-energy, fun-
filled event enjoyed by all. Our First Fri-
day Liturgy was a beautiful celebration,
enhanced by our patriotic red, white and
blue accessories added to uniforms.
This liturgy was in honor all of the
teachers andstaff, religious andlay, who
serve our school but also recognized
and honored those brave men and wom-
en who sacrifice so that we may enjoy
the safety they provide our beloved
country.
After an ice-cream social, we ended
the week with a beautiful tradition be-
gun recently at Holy Rosary School
thanks to Father Sinnott - that of a cele-
bration of Eucharistic Exposition and
Benediction. Praying this devotion each
First Friday afternoon includes the Lita-
ny to the Sacred Heart. We thank Father
Sinnott for introducing this new tradi-
tion to our school community.
We wrapped up adventure-filled
week with an evening Talent Show en-
joyed by families and friends.
We will always remember the kind-
ness shown to us during the flood of
2011 and we will never take for granted
the support our school received. Cathol-
ic Schools Week is a fun week, but also
a time for reflecting upon blessings and
Holy Rosary School has been truly
blessed.
National History Day
A highlight of our Open House was
the displayof National HistoryDaypro-
jects by our students. Per nhd.org: Na-
tional History Day makes history come
alive for Americas youth by engaging
them in the discovery of the historic,
cultural and social experiences of the
past. Through hands-on experiences
and presentations, todays youth are bet-
ter able to inform the present and shape
the future. NHD inspires children
through exciting competitions and
transforms teaching through project-
based curriculum and instruction.
NHD is a tradition at Holy Rosary
and we are most grateful to Mrs. Jen
Snyder, Mrs. Doris Brady and Mrs.
Maureen Conlon for their immense de-
votion to helping each student reach his
or her highest potential.
Awards were presented in the follow-
ing categories to the following students:
