Uncle Joe
It took a few seconds for the name to register, but when it did, I got excited. So this was Joe Haganey. I had heard about Joe Haganey (rhymes with agony) last spring. Word of a 47-year-old playing on a college baseball team spreads fast. And here he was in person on the first day of my summer speech class. What a marvelous surprise. First of all, youd never take Joe for 47 (now 48) and he told me that became a running joke throughout the baseball season. Other coaches would come up and ask to meet this 47-year-old they heard about and our coach would say Try to pick him out. They never could. And they couldnt by his play, either. The teams starting second baseman, Joe went through the entire season without an error. None of this, of course, stopped his teammates from dubbing him Uncle Joe, and that was just fine with him. On that first day of class Joe made one thing clear, he was scared to death. Ive shot darts in front of thousands (more on that later) and played baseball in front of hundreds, he said, but Im not so sure about this. He wasnt alone. Surveys of peoples fears often rank giving a speech as number one. Dying usually comes in fifth or sixth. Which means most people would rather die than give a speech. Or as Jerry Seinfield puts it, At a funeral, most people would rather be the person in the coffin than the person delivering the eulogy. A eulogy is one thing I have my students do. The chances of any of them giving a formal speech in their lives are actually pretty slim. But, the chances of being at a funeral at which they are the perfect person to deliver the eulogy are, unfortunately, certain. So, its something we practice. I always wish none of my students have lost someone dear, but if they have, speech class can be an opportunity to perhaps say the things they never got to at the funeral. No pun intended, but this opportunity was right in Joe Haganeys strike zone. In his introductory speech, where the students talk about themselves, Joe explained that his dad owned a bar and he had grown up shooting darts. It wasnt unusual for him to practice darts for five hours in a row, or to throw a hundred straight bulls eyes. By the time he graduated from high school, Joe was a good enough baseball player to be invited to try out for the Phillies, but he was also a good enough dart thrower to be invited to a tournament in Japan. He chose the latter, and wound up playing professional darts who knew there was such a thing? for the next ten years. And winning more than $100,000 along the way. Joe said his dad was always his inspiration and when, upon returning from a dart trip in 2001, he was told his dad had died, it hit him hard. His sister wanted him to deliver the eulogy but he couldnt. Instead, his sister wrote down something and read it herself at the service. Joe saw this speech assignment as a chance for

redemption. I know my sister still has what she wrote, he said, and Im going to get her to send it to me. On the day of Joes speech, he sat fidgeting with an envelope. This it is, he said. But I havent even opened it. He didnt open it until he stepped to the mic and then he just stared at the paper in front of him for several minutes. At last, he looked at me and said, I cant. How about if I read it with you standing next to me? I asked and Joe agreed. When I got to the end, the part that said I love you, Dad, I stopped. And Joe took over, saying those final words himself. Later he told me he was saying every word in his head as I read them and that, while he could not read them himself, it did make him feel better. He also told me that when he decided to go to college at 47 and then go out for baseball, he asked his late dad to send him a sign. That evening at home he and his wife heard a noise. It was their
GPS device, a Tom Tom, turning itself on even though they knew the battery was dead. The screen displayed Turn right. Seems to me that, except when hes running around the bases, Joe Haganey always turns right. I tell you this today, because last week I learned that Joe was selected to speak at the spring legislative breakfast at the college. He was going to get up Friday morning in front of state legislators, college trustees, administrators, teachers, and foundation board members, and talk about his experiences. I made it a point to be there and Joe Haganey, appropriately, knocked that speech out of the park. Dart career long over, the factory where he once worked closed down, Joe enrolled in the community college two years ago. He hit the books the way he hit the diamond: with everything he had. And now hes about to graduate as an electrician. He told me he already has a job interview this Tuesday. Feel free to call this column a letter of recommendation.

Hearing held on closing of Kindergarten Center
Parents air concerns over school closing
pittston area
It was a listening session. The Pittston Area School Board gathered Wednesday night at the districts Primary Center in Hughestown for a public hearing regarding the planned closure of the Benjamin Franklin Kindergarten Center. Board members heard from the district architect, the superintendent and about 10 parents, who were all sworn in and gave official testimony. The district has already sent notification to the state it is considering closure. Wednesday nights public hearing is required under law. The district must wait 90 days Its kind of before any decision is like youre reached, but taking a Pittston Area year of their S u p e r i n t e n dent Michael childhood Garzella indicated the away. district will Angie Krieger of Pittston begin the tranRegarding some sition process Primary Center sooner. students only If we wait getting one year until the 90th there day to make these arrangements, its going to be very, very difficult, Garzella said. In order for us to do the transition, we need to do that prior to 90 days. One concern parents had was putting fifth-graders in with older students at the Middle School. The differences between a 10 year old and a 14 year old are vast, said Angie Krieger of Pittston. Garzella pointed out one benefit for the move: fifth graders will now have access to science labs and teachers will be able to bring lab time into the curriculum. Another issue was second graders missing a year at the Primary Center because of the transfer. Its kind of like youre taking a year of their childhood away, Krieger said regarding the group of students only getting one year at the

She also suggested bringing back the music program that was cut due to budgetary concerns. Garzella said putting a playground at the Intermediate Center is an idea hell consider. Parent Nicole Johnson of Pittston questioned the transition plans. Janet Donovan, principal at the Intermediate Center, said new students are always given a tour of the building and are able to meet the new teachers. In summer, parents and children are invited in so they become comfortable with the new setting. Lunch time for the kindergarteners was discussed. The children dont have enough time to eat here, how are they going to have time to eat with the extra grades? asked parent Meredith Sabarino. Garzella said the administration will have to adjust the lunch schedules to accommodate everyone. Casey Wetzel asked if the district

Fourth consignment shop opens along one-mile stretch of Wyoming Avenue
By JACK SMILES jsmiles@psdispatch.com
hen Kristen Favata cut the ribbon in front of her shop Clich at 100 Wyoming Avenue in the former Rygiel Photography Studio, she officially opened the fourth consignment shop along a one-mile stretch of Wyoming Avenue in Wyoming/ Exeter. Too many? Not according to Favata or her friend Chastity Krakosky, whose shop Lolliposh has been opened just north of Clich on the Ave at 1841 in Exeter since last October. Krakosy said consignment shops feed off each other. If we dont have certain items that our shoppers are looking for and need immediately, well always point them towards some of the other local consignment stores that we think might have what theyre looking for. Favata said consignment shoppers like it when when shops are clustered, so they can browse them all on the same day. The Rygiel storefront fit Favatas needs. I loved the lay out and it was ready to go. I heard good things about the Rygiels. Perfect location, with high volume traffic. The numbers of people who come in who say they only shop consignment is unbelievable. Consignment shoppers can get quality, lightly-used clothes, accessories, toys and gifts for a fraction of their retail cost. Another advan-

tage to consignment shopping is each shops stock is unique. Favata describes her stock as clothes and accessories, such as womens purses and shoes, for ages 16 to 55. Favata said consignment shops support local people. Local people both consign items for sale and buy them. Favata also has small vendor displays of local artists including Angela Welbys handmade beaded wine glasses, Nicole Cialis handmade jewelry, Mary Prices handmade soap. Clich is closed Monday and open Tuesday to Saturday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 4. Angela Welbys work is also at Lolliposh, where Krakosy described her shop this way: We specialize in apparel and footwear for newborns to pre-teens. All items
are name-brand and lightly used, with some of the inventory new with tags. We have many types of childrens toys, movies and games. We also sell various types of unique gifts, jewelry and other accessories which are all handmade by local crafters. In todays economy, shoppers could get some great deals and save a lot of money.

Device assists medics by performing chest compressions automatically

By JOE HEALEY jhealey@psdispatch.com
Meet LUCAS. Hell soon be riding along on all Greater Pittston Ambulance Association calls and he may save your life. Michael Lombardo, a member of the ambulance crew, explained the association received several cardiac arrest calls on Easter Sunday and were assisted by Geisingers medic unit. That unit is one of only a few in the area that use the LUCAS Chest Compression System, a state-ofthe-art automatic CPR unit. The principle is simple: the device delivers even, uninterrupted chest compressions while medics are free to attend to the patients other needs. Such chest compressions, when performed by a human, become tiresome after 1-2 minutes. This is state-of-the art equipment, and probably the biggest technological advance in pre-hospital care in decades, Lombardo said. When I saw that, I knew we needed those aboard our ambulances. Lombardo said the device is simply strapped to the chest of the patient and it does all the work. Our people were so impressed with the results that we decided that we have no choice but to invest in this equipment, Lombardo said. We owe it to our people to give them the greatest chance at survival, and this equipment does just that. The statistics in terms of survivability with the use of these devices are amazing. There are very few EMS units in the area that use these devices. The cost for both units is $26,600. Lombardo said he hopes local businesses can help defray the cost. How can you even put a price on something like this? he asked. We would be greatly increasing the odds of survivability for our patients. Lombardo said individuals or businesses willing to help the association purchase the devices are urged to call headquarters at 6541202.
Greater Pittston Ambulance welcomes LUCAS

The LUCAS Chest Compression System, a state-of-theart automatic CPR unit, will soon be on board vehicles at the Greater Pittston Ambulance Association.

Phillip Sladicka, pastor of Our Lady of the Apostles Parish, said the building hasnt seen any major use in about eight years.

Its just amazing. Those are the three words Dupont residents Colleen and Joe Frushon use to describe the outpouring of support their family has received from the Greater Pittston community since their 10-yearold son, Joey, was diagnosed with bone cancer on March 20. Friends of the Frushon family are hoping that support will continue with a large turnout for

North Main grotto could use some TLC

In a grotto tucked between an abandoned building at 79 N. Main St. and an empty storefront at 73 N. Main St., the Blessed Virgin Mary has stood serenely in an oasis of green in Pittston for almost three decades. Now the grotto and statue, erected in 1988 by Josephine Sauter and her husband Jerry, are in need of repairs. Inspired by a trip to Lourdes, France, Josephine and Jerry, who has since passed a w a y , bought the narrow lot just for a grotto. The grotto and statue have been vandalized and damaged by water that, Sauter believes, seeped from the adjacent abandoned building. About 10 years ago, Josephine raised some money for repair to the grotto and now she is asking for help once again. The statue needs refurbishing and Sauter would also like to install new red pavers and benches. She is asking for donations of $100 for pavers engraved as per donors requests and $500 for benches marked with donors names. Sauter said a man, who does not want to be named just yet, has volunteered to do the work for free, if she can raise the money. Sauter already has 10 people who have agreed to donate just

is prepared for a rise in enrollment. I know the block I live on theres a lot children that would be going into kindergarten soon, she said. Whats the capacity? Current occupancy for the Primary Center is 600, and would be 525 if the change is implemented. The Intermediate Center is able to house 900 students and would have 746 students if the changes are made. The Middle School is able to house 1,251 and it has 743 students now. By adding fifth grade, they would add 274, bringing the schools total to about 1,000. The current plan would be to close the Kindergarten Center and relocate the kindergarten students to the Primary Center in Hughestown, which would then become the home to kindergarten and first grade. The second graders would move to the Intermediate Center, which would then house second, third and fourth grades. The fifth graders would move to the adjoining Middle School, which would then handle fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade. Grades five and six would be housed on the first floor
of the Middle School and Grades seven and eight would be housed on the second floor. Ninth through twelfth grades would still be housed at the high school in Yatesville Its somewhat disruptive to not only one but three grade levels, but it made the most sense to me, Garzella said. Patrick Endler, an architect with Borton Lawson in Wilkes-Barre, the districts architectural firm, discussed the Kindergarten Centers shortfalls. Outside problems include an outdated playground; the mulch area needs work; there is not an adequate storage space for things like lawn mowers and plow plows; the adjacent athletic field is lacking fencing and proper lighting; and there is damage to some concrete sidewalks and curbs. From a construction standpoint, the shingle roof is near the end of its useful life, the kitchen equipment is outdated and the carpeting needs to be replaced and the likely asbestos tile underneath needs to be removed. Also, upgrades are needed in ceilings, furniture, security, doors and entrances, painting, and the building needs improvements to comply with the Ameri-

cans with Disabilities Act, especially the restrooms. Endler noted meals are not prepared on site and the asbestos tiles are not posing any danger in their current form. The HVAC and plumbing has issues. Endler said the boiler and the individual classroom air conditioning units are functioning, but they are at the end of their useful life. Its hard for the maintenance team to keep up and get the parts that are needed to keep those in working order, Endler said. He said the temperature controls, water heating and water main may need to be upgraded. The security system is not the same in the kindergarten center as other district buildings. Telephones

OUR OPINION
Its time for Ben to go

At a public hearing Wednesday night at the PA Primary Center in Hughestown on the planned closure of the Benjamin Franklin Kindergarten Center in Dupont, some parents testified that they are concerned about how the closure will cause a trickle up effect for other grades. The plan would close the Kindergarten Center and move the kindergarten students to the Primary Center in Hughestown with the first grade, which would in turn bump the second graders, now at the Primary Center, to the Intermediate Center with the third and fourth grades, a move which would then bump the fifth graders to the adjoining Middle School with the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Therein lies the rub for some parents who are concerned about fifth graders mingling with older students at the Middle School. As one parent put it, The differences between a 10-year-old and a 14-year-old are vast. Maybe, but we would ask the worried PA parents to consider Wyoming Area where 7th through 12th graders are in the same building, an even scarier proposition, we believe, than fifth graders mixing with eight graders. Every school year parents of Wyoming Area incoming seventh graders worry about their sons and daughters going to school with 17- and 18-year-olds. But once the WA seventh grade parents get an orientation and tour of the school, in almost all cases, the parents concerns are allayed. Pittston Area does the same thing for children entering new schools and their parents. What makes the plan work is there is plenty of room at the top. The Middle School population is 500 under capacity. What makes the plan necessary is the condition of the kindergarten center building. (See story on page 3 for details.) Patrick Endler, an architect with Borton Lawson in Wilkes-Barre, the districts architectural firm, said a full renovation of the school would cost the district, which is already trying to address a $2 million shortfall, $4.2 million to $5.8 million. As a fifth grader might say, Closing the kindergarten center is a no-brainer.

Prayer is a powerful strength

We live our lives day by day Wondering what will meet us along the way Everything changes on a daily basis but Prayer is a powerful strength You meet different people, you offer them your love, You offer them scripture from the Lord above. You be a Good Samaritan You honor your friends You read a Bible that never ends. You overcome your anger You overcome your fears. Because Prayer is a powerful strength. You pray for employment You pray for peace of mind You collect any religious articles you may find You find that the Lords teachings are true Because the Lords light comes right out of you You can accomplish so many Things every single day If you remember to constantly pray The Lord will help you at any great length Because Prayer is a powerful strength. Michael English Pittston Township
Appreciates editors remarks at breakfast

A note of gratitude is extended to Edward Ackerman of the Sunday Dispatch who did a magnificent job as our annual principal speaker at the Corpus Christi Holy Name Father/Son Communion breakfast last Sunday in the Immaculate Conception Church hall. It was truly a pleasure to hear him speak. His down to earth nature and sense of humor were quite appealing to the generations of fathers, sons and grandsons gathered for this annual tradition. This was the 28th time this tradition was celebrated in the parish. Rest assured as long as Mr. Ackerman continues to write for the Dispatch, the traditions and the rich heritage of the Greater Pittston region will live long in his writings. Thanks for being one of us, Ed. Jerry Yakobitis President, Corpus Christie Holy Name Society

Oh, boys
Do you remember that iconic 1950s show depicting a white bread slice of mid-century Americana: Leave it to Beaver? In every episode, June frets to her husband, Ward, Im worried about the Beaver Well, let me tell you, in my own little microcosm of familial life, I say daily, Anth, Im worried about the Hecksters. And I am. I know my boys must be smartright? I refuse to believe that I birthed and raised two imbeciles. (Im not counting my daughter. Shes smarter than I). Its not possible theyre dummies, is it? But, there are days when I wonder if together they can muster enough brain cell activity to rise from their beds, get dressed and get to the correct school. On time. Most days, its a crap shoot. My older son is (book)smartI know this because I see his grades and his SAT scores were impressive. He was accepted to all eight universities to which he applied, including an intensive Physicians Assistant Program. And yet He makes such idiotic mistakes! The Heck Boys, like the song says, just want to have fun. Screw the consequences. They laugh their way through life. Outcomes dont matter. My 18-year-old is fond of telling us that hes accomplished just as much, just as well as his older sister, but with half the effort. He brags about that on a daily basis. He says

enjoy reading and I blame my husband for this. The only book Ive ever seen him read was the owners manual to his car because he couldnt open the trunk. And, even during the most catastrophic time in America, the man still read the newspapers sports page first. Its his fault my boys hate books. And dont pick up their socks and dirty underwear. And leave their ice cream encrusted bowls in the sink. All negative attributes come from him. Thats the way its written in my head. Additionally, I worry about their spelling skills. Or lack thereof. Spellcheck has caused the ruination of an entire generation of electronically-charged children. They are literacy-bankrupt. Weve created a village of idiots and my boys may very well be the mayor and Indian Chief of that village. Last night at dinner, my younger son was talking about a boy whom his brother doesnt care for and was ruminating about a G-rated word

Whether you reach for the first cup of coffee in the morning or reach for the first cup of tea, old habits are hard to break. Flavored coffees are a big hit today, drumming up a possible 400 calories, depending on the size and extra creams. Once we get used to that taste, its hard to change. Take a look at your early morning beverage. Does it come with extra calories? If not, good for you. If it does, see if there is a small change like cream to 2% milk that you can make to save even 50 calories! They all add up. Health is a big reason some of us may make the switch from coffee to tea. The National Institute of Health comments that green tea is possibly effective for lowering high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/ natural/960.html) Not all parts of the camellia sinensis plant are created equal. The useful parts of tea are the leaf bud, leaf and stem. Black tea is the most common type in the western world. Its processing is different from other types in that it is fully oxidized. It is harvested, dried and well-fermented to create a distinctive flavor. Brew black teas should be brewed in fully boiling water. Green teas have undergone less processing and have a much lighter flavor. Since the leaves are not fermented, the taste is pleasantly fresh and herbal. The health benefits of green tea are due to flavonoids, plantbased antioxidants that have disease-fighting properties According to NIH, green tea is not fermented and is produced by steaming fresh leaves at high temperatures. During this process, it is able to maintain important molecules called polyphenols, which seem to be responsible for many of the benefits of green tea. Polyphenols might be able to prevent inflammation and swelling, protect cartilage between the bones,

By Dominick P. Pannunzio, Esq.

Vanessa Bryant, a U.S. District Court Judge in Hartford CT, has granted a preliminary injunction against Connecticuts Department of Social Services for delays in processing food stamp applications, finding that there is ongoing, persistent systemic failure to comply with the strict unambiguous mandates imposed by the [Food Stamp Act], which requires the state to process the application within 30 days. The state agency had failed to process food stamp applications within the required time limits in up to 41 percent of cases. *** The U.S. Supreme Court has overruled an Oklahoma Supreme Court decision and held that, under the Federal Arbitration Act an arbitrator, rather than the court, must determine the enforceability of a non-compete agreement. *** North Dakota has extended its ban on smoking to include bars, motels, private nursing homes, cabs and public transportation. It also prohibits smoking within 20 feet of an entrance to a public building. *** New York Citys Board of Education discriminated against black and Latino teachers by requiring them to pass a standardized test that wasnt properly validated to become licensed to teach in the citys schools, a U.S. judge has ruled. Another NYC federal judge has ruled that New York City Fire Department exams had discriminatory effects on minority applicants from 1999 to 2007, and ordered the city to pay up to $128.7 million.

50th Anniversary
Americans have long had a collective sweet tooth when dining out. Over the years, desserts have become more sophisticated and different. This often excites the customer. Although, this may be true, however, most consumers appreciate the classic traditional desserts such as cheesecakes, anything with chocolate, sweet with nuts or fruit. All can agree a dessert is a great compliment to a fine meal.

Do you understand the genesis of my cavernous frown line now? This child will spend the most minimum effort on anything having to do with reading and studying, but Ive seen him eat a onepound bag of Starburst with his eyes closed and guess which flavor is in his mouth. Score if he gets them all correct. I asked him why he wasnt working on his research paper but had time to plow through a bag of sugar squares and his response was, Im testing my flavor skill. That talent will make him popular at the juvenile facility, I guess.. Nicholas is heading to college shortly. Did I give him the skills he needs to succeed on his own? He knows how to do his own laundry, sew a button and iron. He can cook an egg and he does dishes. But is that enough? I worry every day that he will make huge, epic mistakes come September. It literally keeps me awake at night. I had a dream last week that he and his friends stole my car and spent the night huffing. (Google that). When I awoke, I was so upset, I texted him at school (I know, Mr. Quaglia, a huge no-no). His response was not to reassure me that this would never enter his mind. His response was, Oh, Mom. No one huffs anymore! I didnt feel better. The boy can have a brilliant future; through my cup half-full kaleidoscope, it all appears bright and assured. I shouldnt worry, should I? Hell be fine. Tell me hell be fine. And yet, not 20 minutes ago, he called me into the kitchen to show me what he learned at school today. I was so excited. Maybe a chemistry experiment? Biology? Anything pre-med-related? No. Instead, he turned on a YouTube video and demonstrate how he can take a sharp knife and, along with music, stab in-between each finger efficiently and to the beat of the music for three solid minutes - with no cuts or abrasions. Amazing! Did I want to see it again? No. I did not. What I do want to see is the DNA test. Just to be sure.

NUTRITION
and lessen joint degeneration. Research cannot yet explain how this works. For best taste, do not brew green teas in fully boiling water. Whatever breakfast drink you choose, take a look at the calories. See if you can make a small change to save even 50 calories each day. If you are an all day coffee drinker, you might want to consider changing from coffee to green tea possibly for one cup a day. Here is a recipe from Kentucky Extension to get you started. Strawberry Green Tea 61/2 cups water 6 Green tea, cup size tea bags 1/2 pound fresh strawberries 1/4 cup honey 1 lemon optional Wash strawberries and remove the tops. Chop the berries with a hand chopper in the large pot. Add water to the chopped berries in large pot and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let mixture cool for 5 minutes. Add tea bags and submerge. Steep tea for 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the tea through a mesh strainer or cheesecloth lined colander into a 1 gallon pitcher. Add honey and stir until dissolved. Chill and serve. Garnish with a lemon slice or a fresh strawberry if desired.

and data systems is different. The emergency backup is different and electric service is at capacity. And the lighting is not energy efficient. The building is solid, Endler said. It has good bones, but its getting tired. The center was built in 1963 and received a major renovation and addition in 1991. There have not been any significant repairs to the building since that time. Several parents voice concern over the asbestos in the floor. Endler said it was not a danger. The asbestos is not hazardous whatsoever in its current state, Endler said. It is encapsulated in the tile. It becomes a problem if it is scraped or removed or torn up. He outlined two costs to keep the building open. Within the next year or two, the roof, carpeting, HVAC, electrical system and fire alarm system all need to be upgraded at a cost of $1 million to $1.5 million. A full renovation of the school would cost $4.2 million to $5.8 million, with a possibility of 10 to 30 percent reimbursements from the state. But Endler said such reimbursement is not guaranteed during the state budget crunch. Garzella said layoffs or furloughs
are unlikely because of the move. Were still going to be educating the same amount of children so I dont see a change in the teaching staff, he said. He said some planned retirements in the district could absorb the other staff members at the Kindergarten Center. Residents also expressed concerns about safety and transportation. Garzella said he could see adding an additional security officer at the Middle School, which will be adding a grade. He said the districts bus routes will also have to be reevaluated. Board President Charles Sciandra suggested looking at the benefits of the move. Were facing a $2 million shortfall and theres a lot of passion here regarding the closing of the Kindergarten Center, Sciandra said. But we should look at what additional benefits are they going to get. He said benefits include added security, additional technology and a full-time principal and guidance counselor. Primary Center and Kindergarten Center principal Teresa McAndrew said change is difficult to accept, but reassured parents that any changes made would not harm students. We will not take away the opportunities, she said. We will not take away activities.

Church that meets in Moosic warehouse to celebrate 20th year

Hope Church, 4951 Birney Ave. (Cee Kay Plaza), Moosic will mark its 20th year on Sunday, April 21. H Hope is one of 1700 churches and missions of the Presbyterian Church in America. The denomination was founded in 1973. Hope Church was established in 1993 led by co-pastors Glen Riexinger and Dr. David Wallover. Riexinger had been the minister of an independent Reformed Baptist congregation and Wallover was a Presbyterian Church USA pastor. An early meeting place for the newly-formed congregation was a motel ballroom in Moosic. Within days of signing the lease for the warehouse space where services are currently held, a load of snow caused the roof of the ballroom to collapse. Members of the congregation, under the guidance of Riexinger, a former contractor, began renovation of the 6,000 square foot facility on Birney Avenue. Work, including a worship hall that seats 200 as well as kitchen, office and classrooms was completed in about nine months. In October 2000, Steven Wilson, a graduate of Westminster Theological Seminary and ordained in the PCA, became pastor of Hope Church. While preparing for a career in health and physical education, Wilson directed training for Christian camp counselors and then went into full-time youth ministry. Pastor Steve has served on the staff of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship at Ursinus, Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore colleges as well as West Chester University. He and his wife, Cheryl, have three grown children and two grandchildren. The anniversary celebration will be held at the church beginning at 9:25 a.m. with Sunday School afollowed by morning worship at 10:45 a.m.. Dr. Wallover, organizing pastor, will speak at the morning worship service. Now serving as pastor of Harvest Presbyterian Church, Dr. Wallover and his family reside in Medina, Ohio. A buffet style dinner will follow morning worship.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL

On a field named for a Hall of Famer and spiced with a trophy named for a Major Leaguer who pitched in a World Series, the first pitch of the 15th Anniversary Andy Ashby Trophy Game gets thrown at 4:15 Tuesday. After the game, Andy Ashby will selected the 16th winner of the Andy Ashby MVP Trophy. Ashby inaugurated the trophy in 1998 after then WA coach Ron Musto suggested the WA-PA baseball; game should have an MVP trophy akin to the annual Carmella Falcone The series began f o o t b a l l game MVP in 1998. Wyotrophy. ming Area won Within its homecoming a couple game, 8-2, and the left elder Shane years, Beatty won the A s h b y MVP with three Game behits, including came the a pair with two marquee outs to spark event of loWarrior rallies. cal spring sports calendar as the game was embraced by the schools, the athletic directors, the coaches, the parents, the fans, Ashby and his family and, especially, the players. The game took on such significance that in the three seasons where Pittston Area and Wyoming Area were not scheduled to play each other due to conference realignments, the schools and the programs agreed to play a specially scheduled non-league game on a Saturday during the season. Pennant race or not, the coaches threw their best available pitchers and went all out to win. Adding to the games luster, three times it was played on the very field where Ashby had won 11 games for the Red Barons in 1991 as sponsors came forward to rent PNC Field.
Dylan Maloney, with the Ashby Trophy, and Andy Ashby after last years game.
The series began in 1998 with a sub plot. The game was at Wyoming Area and it was the Warriors first home game since the previous May when a massive fire that destroyed the Diversified Records building also destroyed the left field fence and tore up the left field turf. WA had played 23 consecutive away games. Wyoming Area won its homecoming game, 8-2, and left fielder Shane Beatty won the MVP with three hits, including a pair with two outs to spark Warrior rallies.
Ashbys father-in-law, then State Rep. Tom Tigue, and Ashbys wife, Tracy, presented the trophy. The second game in 1999 at Pittston Area was a non-league game and one of the most exciting in the series. PA won, 2-1, as the teams combined for only four hits, one a long game-winning home run by Ashby winner George LoPresto. Jim Salitis, of PA, and Mike Gerney, of WA, both pitched 2-hitters. Game three in 2000 was also a non-league contest at West Pittston. Mike Gerney was back, this time
as a batter. He won the MVP, going 3-for-4 with three RBI and two runs in a 12-7 WA win. After the game Gerney said, Its been a goal of mine to win this since I said good bye to Andy when he left for spring training. In 2001, Blake Barbini won the Ashby, pitching a complete game in a 9-4 PA win. Andy is a nice guy, Barbini said at the time. We threw together in the gym last winter. He helped me with my mechanics, but even more mentally. My downside was getting emotional when things
went wrong. Andy said if I walk a couple guys, forget it and focus on the batter. Thats what Ive been trying to do. In 2002, WAs Rich Overman won the Ashby in a 4-2 WA win. Overman entered in relief, got out of a jam and pitched 2 1/3 innings, giving up no runs with one strikeout and got the save. In 2003, a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning forced in the winning run in a 4-3 WA win. Winning pitcher Rob Licata went the distance in 40-degree weather, allowing two earned runs while striking out eight to win the Ashby. In 2004, Ashby personally presented the award for the first time and saw a brother act as pitcher Ryan Overman won the MVP two years after his brother Rich in an 8-4 WA win - probably the biggest upset of the series. PA was on an 8-game winning streak. 2005, PA pitcher Joe Hines pitched a complete game with four strikeouts in a 6-2 win and carried

strikeouts in a 6-2 win and carried home the MVP. In 2006, WA short stop Kyle Shymanski won the Ashby with gametying and game-winning RBI hits, both with two outs in a 6-5 win. In 2007, PA won a Mercy rule route, 15-0. George Dructor, who went 3-for4 with four RBI, beamed as Ashby handed him the trophy. Its an honor for him to be here and everything, Dructor said. In 2008, PA outfielder Kevin Daley picked up the trophy with a game-winning RBI single in the top of the seventh in a 6-5 win at PNC Park Back at PNC again in 2009, Pittston Area senior right handed pitcher Joe Dorbad won the 12th Ashby Trophy hurling a 4-0 shutout. In 2010, Wyoming Area won 11-0 in five innings in West Pittston. Ashby was out of town and wanted to present the trophy, so the winner wasnt named until he got back a few days later. It went to WAs Anthony Bellino. In 2011, Ron Musto, no relation to the former WA coach, hit a basesloaded double in the fourth inning to break open a 7-2 PA win back at
PNC Field. Musto finished 2-for-3 with three RBI to win the Ashby. Last season WAs Dylan Maloney got the Ashby for striking out nine in a 15-5 WA win. Ashby pitched for four different major league teams in 16 seasons. His best seasons were 1998, the year he started the Ashby Trophy, and 1999, when he was the Padres opening day starter and went 14-10. He made the NL All-Star team both seasons. Ashby was a workhorse for the Padres, starting more than 30 games in four of five seasons and leading the NL in starts in 1995. In 1998 he was 17-9 with a 3.33 ERA. He walked 58 and struck out 157 in 226 innings. He started two games in the LCS and pitched well, allowing just three runs in 13 innings, through he didnt get decisions in either game. He was the starter and loser in one game against the Yankees in the World Series that season. He last pitched in the majors in 2004. Ashby loves being associated with the rivalry game. Its a great opportunity for the kids, myself and my family, he said. I feel honored to do it. I missed some of the early games when I was still playing. Thank God my wife and my father-in-law were there to take care of things.

Stop the Bullying Before It Starts

Is Your Child Being Bullied?
Almost 30% of the youth in the United States, or more than 5.7 million children, are estimated to be a bully, a target of bullying or both. There also appears to be a strong relationship between childhood bullying and adult legal and criminal problems. Studies show that bullies are generally physically aggressive, hot tempered, easily angered and impulsive. Children and youth that are bullied are typically anxious, insecure, and cautious. They suffer from low self-esteem and rarely defend themselves. Many times children are embarrassed to tell their parents or other adults. They end up being very shy and afraid to be out-spoken and stick up for themselves...especially later in life. Bullying can cause a problem with grades and school work. Worse yet they might want to t in and become a member of a gang, try drugs or other illegal activity. Sometimes parents dont realize it until the child reaches their teens and they start to see who they hang around with or a change in their attitudes and school work.

Robert J. Manganiello
April 10, 2013
Robert J. Manganiello, 75, of Plains Township and formerly of Exeter, passed away Wednesday, April 10, 2013 in the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia surrounded by his family. Born in Exeter on May 4, 1937, he was the son of the late John and Grace Leonard Manganiello. He was a graduate of Exeter High School and served in the United States Navy. Bob started his newspaper career as a printer apprentice at the Sunday Dispatch. He was a journeyman printer for the Times Leader for fourteen years. When the unions struck against the Times Leader, Bob was part of the group that founded The Citizens Voice as a strike newspaper. Bob then utilized his hobby of photography to become chief photographer for The Citizens Voice. He held that position for six years. In 1984, Bob became Marketing Director of The Citizens Voice. Within weeks, both the Publisher and his assistant left the newspaper. Bob was thrust into the position of General Manager, with no publisher to guide him. Because of the structure of The Citizens Voice at that time, every employee of the newspaper received the same salary regardless of title or responsibility. Thus, Bob now had all of the responsibilities of a publisher without any of the financial benefit. As General Manager, Bob guided The Citizens Voice through some of its most tumultuous times. In 1989, he was instrumental in incorporating the newspaper, changing from union ownership to a newspaper owned by its employees. Despite the odds against his success, Bob was able to cobble together a majority of the employees and board members to support his initiatives to build The Citizens Voice. He also reached out to build relationships with the business community. Through Bobs efforts and those of his management team, The Citizens Voice made history by becoming the longest surviving strike newspaper in the United States. In 2000, Bob had the foresight to insure the survival of the newspaper by facilitating its sale to Times-Shamrock. This move not only provided many of the aging and retired former strikers with needed compensation for their shares, but also put The Citizens Voice on a solid foundation that has helped the newspaper grow stronger. Bob was very civic and community minded and served on many local boards including Valley Santa, a volunteer program which provides toys for needy local children at Christmas; the Citizens Voices sponsorship of Youth Salute, a program which recognizes local high school students who excel in scholarship, extra-curricular activities and community service; the fundraising committee for the 1989 Friends of Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America, Penns Woods Council; Pennsylvania Newspaper Association Membership Services Committee; Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business & Industry; Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce; Diamond City Partnership; Penn State University Advisory Board, Wilkes-Barre Campus; St. Vincent DePaul Kitchen; Pittston Chamber of Commerce; Wyoming Valley American Red Cross; United Way of Wyoming Valley, Planning and Resource Development Committee; INMA International Newspaper Marketing Association; Professional News Media Association of NEPA; The International Newspaper Marketing Association; The Northeastern Pennsylvania Association of Manufacturers Representatives. On Friday, November 19, 2004, Representative Paul Kanjorski rose on the floor of the US Congress to ask that the House pay tribute to Robert J. Manganiello on his retirement as publisher of the Citizens Voice Newspaper in WilkesBarre, PA. He was a member of St. Barbara Parish, Exeter. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death of his son-in-law, Andrew Calabrese in 2001; sisters, Margaret Manganiello and Gloria Watson. Bob is survived by his wife of 55 years, Mary Claire Hornick Manganiello; daughter, Carolyn Calabrese and her husband, John Spitters of Havertown, PA and Danville, CA; grandson, Christopher Calabrese of Havertown, PA. Also surviving are sisters, Ann Marie Macijowsky and Alice Berkowitz, both of Florida; brothers, John L. Manganiello and his wife, Phyllis of Florida and Paul Manganiello and his wife, Louise, Williamsport; numerous nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Wednesday, April 17 at 10 a.m. in St. Cecelias Church, Wyoming Avenue, Exeter. Those attending are asked to go directly to the church on Wednesday morning. Interment, Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Carverton. Friends may call Tuesday, April 16 from 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. at the Peter J. Adonizio Funeral Home, 251 William Street, Pittston. Memorial donations may be made to the Robert J. Manganiello Scholarship at Kings College, 133 North River Street, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711 or to the charity of the donors choice. On-line condolences may be made at www.peterjadoniziofuneralhome.com.

PEEKING INTO THE PAST
Reader calls attention to photograph

Question: What promise did Mrs. Samuel Leonardi of Pittston fulll in 1950 that she made during World War II? 1950 63 years ago with High school athJudy Minsavage letes Joan Davenport, of Hughestown, and Betty Ritzie, of Dupont, were invited by Fred K. Leo, president of the All American Girls Baseball League, to attend a baseball nishing school in South Bend Indiana. After competing in tryouts in Scranton in 1949, they were considered outstanding prospects for positions on league teams and instructed to report to the school by April 13, 1950. By the fall of 1942, many minor league teams disbanded due to young men being drafted into the armed services during World War II. Major league baseball parks across the country were in danger of collapse, prompting Philip K. Wrigley, the chewing-gum mogul, to search for a possible solution to the dilemma. The league inspired the movie A League of Their Own, released in 1992. To see photos and read the incredible history of the over 600 young women that played on the teams from 1943 to 1954, log on to the leagues websie at www.aagpbl.org. 1960 53 years ago The Pittston Hospital Junior Auxiliary announced that a transistor radio would be awarded to the winner of its fund-raising effort. The group consisted of more than 50 girls. According to Charitable Institutions of Pennsylvania which have Received State Aid, published in 1898, the rst public meeting to establish the Pittston Hospital was held on March 9, 1889. The rst trustees were listed as John Law, Stephen Bennett, Thomas Lance, W. Watson, John Collier, Joseph Cake, Theo Hart, William Rutledge, Samuel Fenn, John Flynn, E.G. Mercur and George Ferris. The Duryea Mid-Valley Old Timers Athletic Association headed by Al Galardi announced that the group would sponsor its 10th annual bus trip to Yankee Stadium to attend a Yankee/ Chicaco White Sox doubleheader. Tickets for bus fair and refreshments totaled $10. Ben Cardoni reported a total of 2,361 organization members, the largest number recorded in the history of the club. According to the Baseball Almanac, in 1960, the highest-priced tickets in the major leagues were the $3.50 box seats in Yankee Stadium and The Coliseum. Today prices range from $15 for bleacher seating to $300 for MVP accommodations. Just 60 pins short of rst place, Joseph Preate, Ted DAndriola, Gene Calogero, Tony Mucciola and Joe Merli of Old Forge and Exeter resident Nick Mauriello posted the highest team score ever hit by a Luzerne or Lackawanna County bowling team in the American Bowling Conference competition in Toledo, Ohio. Hitting 3,032 total pins, the group placed seventh in the competition. The rst ABC Tournament was held in Chicago, Illinois in 1901. 1970 43 years ago Ninety-six members of the Pittston Rotary Club celebrated their 50th anniversary at Fox Hill Country Club. Clyde Garrison, Rotary president, Michael Insalaco rst vice president, and Frank Barbera, second vice president, welcomed Luzerne County Commissioner Frank Crossin as toastmaster. In the 1920 publication The Rotarian, it was noted the Pittston Club transported 127 boys in 22 member-donated cars to a number of Wyoming Valley historical sites. Club member Attorney A.T. Walsh gave a brief history of each spot visited. Susan Davala of Exeter, the rst employee to retire from the Exeter Blouse Company, was honored at a retirement party at the Hi-Lite Lounge in Kingston.

1980 33 years ago Bill Salus, of Wyoming, began his musical career in the 1930s when he taught himself how to play the washboard bass. In the 40s, he bought his rst banjo. By the 1980s, Salus, an accomplished musician, had taught many area residents the art of playing the guitar and banjo. He also loved singing with his wife, the former Ann Yakobitas, of
West Pittston. Known as the King of the Banjo Salus played with The Smoothies and Joe Parker Groups and for years performed at various minstrel shows and parties as a single entertainer. Answer: Mrs. Samuel Leonardi made a promise that she would arrange for the presentation of a large crucix to St. Roccos Church if World War II would end and her sons as well as those of her neighbors returned home safely from military
service. The war ended shortly thereafter. Mrs. Leonardi diligently collected donations for the crucix that was unveiled in April 1950. The trouble with doing something right the rst time is that nobody appreciates how difcult it was. Author unknown

WATCH
Dispatch, calling for a meeting and 35 people showed up. They passed a hat and got $450. Stan Waleski suggested the Crime Watch incorporate as a non-prot organization. Waleskis organization, the Jolly Boys, best known for its youth basketball league, paid for the state and county ling fees and Avoca Borough solicitor Charlie McCormick handled the legal end of the incorporation pro bono. An advantage to being incorporated is when a member registers, he or she gets a pin number they can use when they call 911. They can say ACW and the pin number if they are reluctant to give their name, Brogan said of the Avoca Crime Watch members. At each meeting, a few more people showed. In six months, the nine founders lead an organization which has grown almost tenfold to 80 members. Grace McLaughlin put together an email list to send alerts about meetings. Charlotte Raup, a coordina-
tor of 14 neighborhood crime watches in Wilkes-Barre, was a guest speaker at one of the meetings. State Trooper Marty Connors gave tips on how to recognize meth labs and told horror stories of the devastation those labs can cause. Treasuer Jim Corcoran said the Crime Watch doesnt want to insulate the Avoca. We dont want to keep people out. We want people to know its a nice place to live. Were trying to preserve that. Avoca police ofcers are regulars at the meetings where they read, blotter-style, the monthly report. With only one ofcer on patrol per shift in the mile-square town of 2,700, police cheif Dave Homeschek appreciates the extra eyes. Obviously crime in our area is increasing and its one more tool we can use, Homeschek said. But, Brogan emphasized, the Crime Watch members arent cops without badges. We have our bylaws and our dos and donts. Dont follow, dont engage, dont confront, dont put yourselves in harms way. We dont patrol. Were just always on the lookout. People tend to

look the other way. We want people to take notice and report suspicious activity. The Watch bought a welcome sign for the borough with $1,100 in donated money some of it from former Avocans living out of town and with the help of Rep. Mike Carroll had installed on Main Street. They also bought Crime Watch pole signs and home window signs. A typical house sign reads Crime Watch in progress. If I dont call the police, my neighbor will. The Watch helped convince
the Avoca Borough Council to enact a landlord-tenant ordinance, which requires an inspection of properties posted for rent. Mike Lombardo of the Pittston City Redevelopment Authority, a major gure in the citys revitalization, will speak at the next Avoca Crime Watch meeting on Tuesday, April 16 at the Avoca Town Hall I plan to talk about code enforcement, Lombardo said. Its the Gulliani model, the broken window theory, that relates to

crime. Ill talk about things like tracking the frequency of calls, which can lead to a nuisance property designation, and Ill talk about the value of lighting. Brogan said the group is looking forward to hearing Lombardo. We have a lot of blight. Empty business and abandoned houses. We have houses abandoned so long nobody can remember who lived in them. Knowing that blight can attract crime, the Watch will have a borough clean up April 27
with Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Avoca Lions Club. Lombardo cited what he called a prime example of neighborhood Watch success in Pittston. The solving of broken windows of the Presbyterian church. Neighbors paying attention gave the police a good tip. Brogan grew up in West Avoca and has lived in the borough all his life. Hes a Vietnam veteran. He and his wife, Helen, have three children and six grandchildren.

In Mrs. Renee Shotwells Career Development class at the Pittston Area Kindergarten Center, students learned about community helpers. For this particular lesson, students got to see and use some of the everyday tools used by doctors and nurses. The tools they explored were stethoscopes, tongue depressors, thermometers, band aids, hospital gowns and caps, u shields and surgical masks, IVs, a pulse oximetry machine, an electrocardiogram machine, blood pressure cuffs and two types of oxygen masks. Students recognized that some tools were used in both professions while others were specic to doctors and to nurses.
