Helping the leaders Annual gala benefits the blind

BY CHRISTOPHER CORNELL ADVANTAGE EDITOR

A fabulous evening is planned — and it’s all for the puppies.

The Eynon-Archbald Lions Club will hold its eighth annual Snowflake Gala on Saturday, Jan. 28, 6-11 p.m. at Fiorelli’s Catering, 1501 Main St. in Peckville. Tickets are $75 and they must be purchased by Sunday, Jan. 20. There will be live entertainment by the Wanabees and a DJ from TopShelf Entertainment.

As in the past, proceeds from the event will benefit Leader Dogs for the Blind. The organization was started in 1938 by three Detroit-area Lions Club members. More than 14,000 guide dogs have been bred, trained and donated since that time.

This nonprofit facility serves clients from 21 countries and almost every U.S. state.

“For people who are blind or visually impaired, the loss of sight is only the beginning of a life-changing reality,” explained Lions Club member Fran Stepkovitch. “As even the simplest everyday tasks become daunting, these individuals often become depressed, anxious and isolated.”

The group’s programs are designed to provide clients with the tools and training to reintroduce them to a life of confidence, safety and indepen-

dence. Through courses like guidedog training, accelerated orientation and mobility training and summer experience camp, the group strives to meet the mobility needs of clients at every stage of their lives.

“Leader Dogs for the Blind believes everyone deserves a life of independence and mobility,” Stepkovitch said. “All of its services are provided free of charge to clients, including travel in the U.S. and Canada, room and board, equipment and training.

This means that no one is excluded from living their most fulfilling life due to lack of funds.”

The total cost to raise, train and place each Leader Dog is $37,000, officials said.

Every year this Lions club climbs higher and higher in the donation rankings, and after last year the club is ranked second nationwide, she added.

The event will feature an open bar, a chef-inspired dinner, basket raffles a silent auction, a photo booth and several raffles for prizes including a Caribbean cruise for two, and an umbrella filled with cash and lottery tickets.

Jeff Hawkins, accompanied by his Leader Dog, will be the guest speaker.

“Our members are very enthusiastic, dedicated and organized about this event,” added Stepkovitch, “We hope to continue our past success.”

Lakeland Plans New School Configuration The Lakeland School Board heard plans to reconfigure the district’s elementary schools at a work session recently. If approved, the changes will go into effect after the 2018-19 school year.

Lakeland’s two elementary schools — Mayfield Campus and Scott Campus — now serve kindergarten through sixth grade. Which school a student attends is determined by his or her address.

If approved, the reconfiguration will send all kindergarten to second-grade students to the Mayfield Campus,

Superintendent William King, who took over the position in January, 2018, said the plan was discussed before and the board asked him to revisit it this year.

Under the new plan, lessons in grade levels and curriculum will be streamlined and teachers will have more opportunities to collaborate, he said.

King also said the plan allows students to attend school together from kindergarten through sixth grade, which helps quell the fear of going to a new building in seventh grade and reinforces a sense of community.

No teachers will be eliminated under the plan, he said. Figuring out transportation is the district’s biggest hurdle to the reconfiguration, he said.

aro und town Gulf War soldier statue will go on display in Lackawanna County FRANK WILKES LESNEFSKY COURTESY OF THE TIMES TRIBUNE

The nearly 7-foot-tall Gulf War soldier seemed larger than life in Mark Zinskie’s kitchen, clutching a silver service rifle as shiny as its expressionless metallic countenance.

Known as the Freedom Fighter, the sculpture represents 440 hours of work for Zinskie, a local artist and mason. He is working with Olyphant residents and officials with the Olyphant Borough Freedom Fighter Committee to raise $60,000 to cast the statue in stainless steel and include it as part of a planned monument at the Queen City Train Station on Lackawanna Avenue. The statue will stand silent watch at the station atop a granite base laser-etched to resemble desert camouflage.

To raise money for the project, the committee is selling pavers at $100 each to be placed with the monument. So far, they have raised about $20,000, said committee coordinator Kim Onda Atkinson.

Zinskie hopes to have the statue cast and completed in about a year.

Zinskie started working on the soldier in 2011 and recently put the finishing touches on the project when he added a rifle strap made of curved layers of aluminum.

The statue is “one of a kind,” Mayor John Sedlak Jr. said. “It’ll really brighten up the town.”

Although Zinskie, 47, dedicated so much time to the project, he’s reluctant to attach his name to it, explaining that “this particular art piece is truly about the soldiers.”

There are roughly 12,000 soldiers in Lackawanna County who served sometime from 1991 to present, said county Director of Veterans Affairs David Eisele.

Seeing the statue was emotional for Eisele, who is a veteran.

“The first time I saw it, I didn’t see a statue,” said the Marine Corps veteran who served from 2001 to 2003. “I saw my buddies that never got to come home.”

The Freedom Fighter is the first of its kind for the region, Eisele said. There are local monuments for World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam but none for the modern soldier, he said.

“It towers over you, and it’s really what the world looks up to now, that modern-day soldier for protection,” Eisele said. “It reminds you it’s something for the guys we served

with and lost. Something that’s going to permanently be there to remind everybody freedom does come at a cost.”

Like Eisele, Zinskie felt there were few monuments for modern soldiers, and to accompany his unique statue, he wanted to cast it in a unique medium.

“We want to be the first landmark out there with a desert soldier cast in stainless (steel),” he said.

Zinskie decided to make the commemorative statue after learning of the death of Army Sgt. Jan Argonish on Aug. 27, 2007, in Afghanistan.

“At first I was just going to tribute soldiers. ... I was thinking, what’s the soldier I’d want to sculpt,” Zinskie said. “I wasn’t necessarily thinking modern.”

The monument also memorializes his late BUTCH COMEGYS / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Harry Zinskie photographed the aftermath of the atomic bombs in Japan. During his tenure in the military, he also photographed the Japanese emperor, five-star Gen. Douglas MacArthur and Gen. Omar Bradley, his son recalled.

As a World War II buff who collects toy soldiers, Zinskie initially wanted to make a statue that looked like a giant green plastic soldier. After speaking with others and more deliberation, he decided to make a monument that would honor present-day soldiers.

As he worked on the statue over the years, he looked to veterans for continued inspiration. After meeting with several soldiers, “that’s when I knew it was going to be real,” he said. “That I’d get it done.”

In the end, Zinskie wants the statue to honor soldiers, and he wants soldiers to look at the monument and honor themselves, he said.

“The masses live a great life in America because of the men and women that made the sacrifices — that went to war, that fought for us, that fought for freedom,” he said.

To donate to the Freedom Fighter project, send donations to Olyphant Freedom Fighter at 113 Willow Ave., Olyphant, PA 18447.

Don’t Let age Slow You Down

FOR MEN & WOMEN

Most of us have one thing in common, we want to be active and pain-free as long as possible. In fact, surveys show that 79% of us expect to be active past the age of 70. Since you don’t want age to slow you down, its important to know what it will take to keep you healthy and strong. As a result of the aging process, 85% of us will have some degree of spinal degeneration by the age of 50.

Spinal degeneration can result in the loss of disc height and spinal weakness.

That could mean three things: you could shrink, you could develop a hunchedover posture, and the space between your vertebra could narrow, creating nerve irritation, pain, numbness and tingling. The good news is that regular spinal adjustments can help you slow down the spinal aging process.

FRANK WILKES LESNEFSKY COURTESY OF THE TIMES-TRIBUNE

Although shoppers can no longer buy ice cream at 1333 Main St., they’ll soon be able to buy tires.

Crews recently began tearing down the decades-old ice cream shop near Genetti Manor to build a Mavis Discount Tire, which the developer hopes to complete by late spring.

Goddard Development Partners of Cor nwall, New York, purchased the property in September, according to the county assessor’s office. Mavis will lease the 6,800-square-foot structure from the firm, said Adrian Goddard, the principal managing partner of the company.

Goddard Development bought the land from Realtor Albert Guari and his wife, Joan, for $215,000, according to a property transaction recorded Nov. 9. The Guaris owned the ice cream stand for four years, but it wasn’t feasible to keep the doors open, Albert Guari said, explaining that he

shuttered the stand in 2018.

“The use of that as an ice cream stand did not have equal value of what the land is worth on a major thoroughfare,” he said.

Goddard cited zoning, local demographics and “an opportunity in a market that was somewhat under-served” among the reasons the firm settled on Dickson City.

Work began on the site just after the new year, Goddard said, and crews have already leveled the ice cream stand.

Council Vice President Robert Hall expressed his excitement for the new tire shop, noting that it joins Lehigh Valleybased Coordinated Health’s new hospital on the 300 block of Main Street as the latest businesses in the borough.

With the hospital on one end of Main Street and now Mavis on the opposite end, Hall said the borough’s goal is “to start filling in between” the projects and draw new businesses to the street.

children with developmental disabilities, as well as serving as treasurer of her class and student council, a member of the National Honor Society, Leo Club, yearbook committee and Students Against Destruction Decisions — all while maintaining a 4.0 grade-point average.

Leadership is her forte.

“She fed off her sister Erica when she was younger, and she was the manager when Bob Doughton was here and they had all those good ballplayers,” Bucciarelli said. “She learns from listening all those years and it just carried on to her junior and senior year, especially.”

Now Bucciarelli and the team need Haefele to take advantage of more offensive opportunities.

“Her biggest asset is how she can take the ball to the bucket,” Bucciarelli said.

“She just goes so far and wants to dish it off or kick it out. I told her it’s her bread and butter. She has to do more of that.

“If it’s there, take it. I’ve been telling her.”

But some kids are just born to assist, like Haefele and the seniors on both basketball teams, who purchase, wrap and give out gifts to the community.

That gives Haefele a better feeling than any pass could.

“Especially today,” Haefele said. “The seniors go buy presents, wrap them and deliver them.

“Obviously, I knew who the girls were and I saw one of them today wearing one of the things that we bought them, and it just felt good that it helped them.”

Guarding West Scranton’s Nya Johnson is no easy task, but one Morgan Haefele didn’t shy away from in their pre-Christmas matchup.

As the top defender for the Spartanettes, the senior point guard welcomes challenges like that.

What she didn’t expect was the inadvertent elbow that caught her just above the right eye, opening a gash that eventually required 12 stitches to close.

Before she left to have the gash repaired, Haefele had one question for athletic director and trainer Tom Nowakowski: Could he put a butterfly bandage on it and get her back in the game?

It’s that kind of attitude that brings a smile to the face of Mid Valley coach Vince Bucciarelli.

“She doesn’t back down from anyone,” Bucciarelli said. “She’s always been my key kid that I can rely on for the last four years.

“Over the course of the her career, if I had to go to a special defense or if we went man-to-man, I always put her on the best ballplayer the other team has.”

“I don’t even know how it happened,” Haefele said. “I just got hit by her elbow.”

She missed a couple practices but was back at for Mid Valley’s next game.

“Our trainer put a big band-aid on it,” Haefele said. “I played with the stitches. I forgot about it, but I looked like an idiot for whoever saw me.”

That’s not the case when she gets into her defensive posture.

“Obviously, my defensive side has always been stronger, but now as a senior, I need to take some scoring opportunities,” said Haefele, who averages 3.9 assists but just 3.6 points. “But I’m the point guard. My main thing is assists. We have Emily Morano. Obviously we need more than one scorer, so obviously I need to score more. It doesn’t bother me that I don’t score as much because I like giving good passes.”

Brother-sister duo behind original AV opens new eatery PATRICE WILDING COURTESY OF THE TIMES-TRIBUNE

Food has always been a family business for Francis and Michaelyn Ghilardi, and their new restaurant in Dickson City serves as a sort of reunion for the brother-sister duo.

Local foodies and gourmands know them from their long tenure as the former owners of AV, the fine-dining establishment that built a strong reputation in its original Moosic location before relocating to downtown Scranton in 2017, a little more than two years after the Ghilardis sold it to employees.

Their culinary bloodline extends even further back to the storied Alora Room, which their father and grandmother owned.

After stepping away from AV in 2015, Francis Ghilardi spent some time traveling to California and Delaware, where he managed and consulted for restaurants, but eventually he returned to Northeast Pennsylvania to be closer to his family and friends. His sister, meanwhile, got out of the food industry altogether and worked in retail and customer service. She found more similarities than differences between the work, however, and said her time away actually helped her identify holes in the restaurant market, specifically for healthier food options.

In mid-November 2018, the siblings reunited to open Carmalt, an eponymous eatery on the corner of the street that overlooks St. Mary’s parish plaza. Michaelyn Ghilardi stepped back into the kitchen to develop a menu of American comfort food, while her brother maintains the front of the house, which was renovated to give off a bright, earthy feel with cool hues of green, white and tan and warm wood benches.

The restaurant serves artistically plated courses Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., though hours may extend as the staff — and customer demand — grows.

“It’s one menu all day. People have all different schedules, and we wanted them to know what to expect,” Francis Ghilardi said.

“It covers lunch to early dinner and the hours in between. You can arrive up until 6 (p.m.) and sit down to a nice meal.”

6 THE VALLEY ADVANTAGE

The price points on the all-homemade and fresh food are comparable to home delivery services such as Blue Apron or HelloFresh, he added, but “prepared by someone you trust.”

“Let’s say you didn’t grocery shop or meal plan. What do you do?” Michaelyn Ghilardi mused. “It’s fast-casual dining in an exciting way. We try to keep the pick-up to 10 to 12 minutes.”

The departure from the more elegant and high-end dining they built their reputation on comes from maturity and a hunger for trying something new — and needed, Francis Ghilardi said.

“We’re a little older now. ... Things that are exciting to us are different, and maybe more practical,” he said. “We did fine dining, and that was rewarding for us, to be part of people’s special occasions. But we’re back in the valley where we’re from and will have daily specials — dishes that are not what you would have found from us in the past.

“It’s things we ate growing up at home,” he continued. “To us, it’s comfort food.”

Some examples of the recognizable homecooking are breaded porkchops with german-style potato salad, pot pie and hearty fare such as chicken and dumplings or classic rigatoni bolognese. Standouts from the regular menu include the porketta, which is pork marinated in the nostalgic style and then plated as a sandwich or salad platter, and the daily vegan, which combines falafel, hummus, pita, mixed lettuces and house pickles.

Other vegan options include the chili and hot chocolate, while the regular version of the white chili “has a little heat to it and is more brothy,” Michaelyn Ghilardi said.

A strong selection of daily soups is a staple of Carmalt’s menu, Francis Ghilardi noted.

“How many times do you have a cold and need just a really good chicken soup?” he asked, while also pointing out that many of the menu items are built around salads, since that’s “the place where Michaelyn shines.”

The siblings take it in turn to go out and

procure the finest-quality and freshest ingredients for their dishes, and Francis Ghilardi regularly talks to customers about what they like. So far, the clientele has been an even mix of old friends coming to visit the Ghilardis at their new restaurant and new faces from the neighborhood and beyond. The eatery seats about 36 and looks to add online ordering in the future to help disseminate

the food more effectively. The possibilities are exciting, the owners shared.

“It’s only been (a few) weeks, but I feel it’s come a long way,” Michaelyn Ghilardi said.

“We’re trying to develop the menu and recipes to be, as in the past, known for quality and consistency, to make them feel standard.

It’s taking our combined experiences and getting another shot at it.”

Going to the dogs Animal rescues benefit from annual Paw-rogi sale

BY GIA MAZUR Staff Writer

W

hen it comes to food-based fundraisers, Local Flavor is like a dog with a bone.

Through Local Flavor Gives Back, we’ve been able to donate to almost a dozen nonprofits and organizations and feature a tasty recipe from each.

This week, it’s time to help out a different group in need: o u r f u r r y, fo u r- l e g g e d friends.

Leslie Livingstone came up with the idea for Pawrogies several years ago with her sister, Lauren, as a way to give back to regional animal rescues by making and selling batches of pierogie — some like the cheese- and potato-filled pierogie they grew up eating, and some with more daring flavors, such as Buffalo chicken.

Though her sister moved out of the area, Leslie Livingstone and her wife, Lindsey, have kept up with the sale over the years. The animal lovers, whose Forty Fort property is home to a host of animals — including pit bulls Zeus and Aries and cat Hazel — make all of the pierogies in their kitchen. Leslie Livingstone’s mom, Helen, also lends a hand.

The pierogies they make are for humans, but Paw-rogi donates its proceeds to animal rescues around the region, with the benefactor changing each year.

The menu of pierogie fillings changes, too. Allow us to introduce one of the newest Paw-rogi menu items: reuben pierogies. The recipe earned Paw-rogi a $50 grocery gift card, which Paw-

SPecial edition

Gives Back Local Flavor Gives Back unites Northeast Pennsylvania residents through food and generosity.

Each week, we feature recipes from people or groups who give their gift card winnings to charity.

How to help Paw-rogie is closed for the season and typically begins taking orders in November. for more information, email pawrogi@gmail.com. rogi, in turn, donated to Scranton-based One Life to Live Pet Rescue & Adoption Inc., which was the group’s fundraiser recipient in 2018.

Leslie Livingstone said the recipe is easy, and she assured cooks that measurements for the Reuben filling don’t have to exact.

“It’s really about your taste and what you like or don’t like,” she said. “There’s always room to adjust.”

We couldn’t believe it’s taken this long to enjoy fresh corned beef, melted Swiss and tangy sauerkraut all wrapped up in a pierogies drizzled with thousand island dressing. Local Flavor will be dreaming about the reuben pierogies for a long time — or at least until next year’s Paw-rogie sale.

Paw-rogie is over for the season, as the sale takes

place during the holidays. It all begins with crafting the menu. Cheese and potato and sauerkraut and potato fillings are staples, as is the Apollo, named for the couple’s late pit bull and stuffed with barbecue chicken, bacon, cheddar and onion.

Batches range from Lucky Dog, made up of 13 pierogies, to Puppy Plate with six pierogies and Toy Dog, which is made up of three pierogies.

In the past, Paw-rogi has offered Crab Rangoon varieties and even an apple cheesecake dessert pierogie. The fillings typically are products of Leslie Livingstone’s culinary creativity, her wife said.

“She always comes up with the craziest and most different stuff,” Lindsey Livingstone said. “Even when we’re just coming up with dinner, I can’t believe the things she can make out of anything. That’s her.”

After the menu is curated, the Livingstones begin collecting orders in November.

From then on, weekends are spent making the pierogies by hand.

Juggling the pierogie making with full-time jobs; two children, Juliana and Christopher Camp; and taking care of their own animals is tough, but the hard work is worth it. Paw-rogi has donated approximately $2,000 to local rescues over the years.

“Anything we can do to help and give back to the animals,” Leslie Livingstone said. “It’s all for them.”

Forty Fort residents and Paw-rogi fundraiser organizers Leslie, left, and Lindsey Livingstone, whose Reuben Pierogi won this week’s Local Flavor Gives Back recipe contest, donated their grocery gift card to One Life to Live Pet Rescue & Adoption Inc.

Paw-rogi’s Reuben Pierogies For the dough: 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons salt 2 cups sour cream

in a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. in a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.

Stir the wet ingredients into the flour until well blended. Cover the bowl with a towel, and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.

For the filling: 1 large can sauerkraut 1 medium onion, chopped Garlic powder, to taste Onion powder, to taste

11:11 | CORNELLCHR

Salt, to taste Pepper, to taste 1 pound corned beef, shredded 1 (8-ounce) bag shredded Swiss cheese

Saute sauerkraut with onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and set aside. in a separate pan, saute corned beef. Combine sauerkraut and cheese.

Separate pierogie dough into two sections. roll out one piece at a time on a lightly floured surface until thin enough to work with, but not too thin that it tears. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter or a glass. add about 1 tablespoon of filling mixture to center. fold the circles over into half-circles, and press to seal the edges with fork. to cook, boil pierogies until they rise to the top. they are fully cooked at this point to eat, freeze, refrigerate or cook to one’s liking.

Make it easy to be near you.

For the things you do endear you to me, oh you know, I will.”

We love and miss you very much.

Love, Your brother Walter, Your daughters, Ivy & Cali, and Your grandchildren Amelia & Oliver.
