A Mother’s Day to remember You learn a lot about students in a speech class and so it wasn’t long before I grew to admire this young man who is determined to make a good life for his son and his son’s mother. Jason has one of those faces that can light up as though you flipped a switch and nothing makes that face light up more than when he talks about Jake and/or Erin.

Jake is two-and-a-half years old and Jason and Erin have been together going on four years. They are not originally from this area but moved here when Erin, a medical lab supervisor, landed a job with a local hospital.

Jake’s full name is Jacob Elias, the Jacob after Jason’s favorite character on the TV show “Lost” and the Elias after Walt Disney’s middle name. Jason says both the fictional Jacob and the real Disney have had a profound influence on his life.

That life, as revealed in his speeches, has not been easy.

Jason was born in upstate New York to a 16-year-old mom who fell head over heels for a long-haired, 22-year-old guitar player in a local band. “He wasn’t much of a dad, although I love him dearly today, and she was just too young to be a mom,” Jason says.

When Jason was 6 months old, the three of them moved to Las Vegas. Then his mom left and returned home with him where he wound up living with his grandmother until

he was about six.

Declared a “problem child” (yes, at only 6 years old), he was removed from his grandma’s home and institutionalized and that began a 10-year stretch of being bounced from institutions to foster homes and back, sometimes behaving, most of the time not.

He ran away when he was 10 taking along his 6-year-old brother by the hand, but they were soon caught when they stole a bag of Jolly Ranchers at a convenient store. “We were hungry,” Jason says.

“I was always wishing for that day like in the movies when someone would knock on the door and say ‘I’m your mom,” or ‘I’m your dad,’ and take me to live in some fabulous house where everything would be perfect,” he says.

Jason does recall one marvelous childhood memory. He was about 9 and his grandfather rescued him from a foster home after he got into a fight with a 15-year-old in the family.

“My grandfather was not in a position to take me in,” Jason says, “but he is the one person from whom I experienced unconditional love. I can still picture him sitting in the corner at this little store that he hung out at scratching off lottery tickets and eating Slim Jims.”

It was near Christmas and Jason, in a mall with his grandfather, pointed to a Guns ‘n’

Vol. 67, NO. 13 Local chatter.....................................................10 Downtown art walk ........................................... 11 Editorial/Your Space .......................................14 Maria Heck.........................................................15 Nutrition.............................................................15

Roses CD in a music store. His grandfather shrugged it off but on Christmas morning, wrapped in a big box to throw him off, Jason found the CD. “It was the best Christmas of my life,” Jason recalls.

At 18, Jason joined the U.S. Navy and that’s when things began to turn around. He served most of his three-plus years participating in various operations in Iraq.

After his discharge, he was working at a Denny’s restaurant back in New York where he’d often flirt with a redhead who came in frequently with her friend Erin.

Yes, that Erin. Four years later Jason cannot even remember the redhead’s name.

Not long after speech class began in January, Jason started reading this column regularly. And he got Erin reading it too.

Which brings us to Jason’s request.

What he asked of me seemed just perfect for Mother’s Day and he agreed.

So here goes: Erin, this last part is directed at you.

As you reach this point in today’s column, please put the paper aside and look at your son.

Jake is holding a gift for you.

It’s an engagement ring.

Jason would like you to marry him.

You and I have never met, Erin, but I get the feeling you’re going to say “yes”.

And, man, will Jason’s face light up then.

Few things make me more uncomfortable than someone giving me an idea for a column. I don’t mean that to sound as horrible as it does. God knows, with one of these things hanging over my head like a sword of Damocles 52 weeks a year, I should welcome any suggestions I could get.

And I do, sort of. It’s just that I hate to disappoint anyone, and when I hear a wellmeant “You know what you should write about?” my first thought is usually “Thanks, but how am I going to get 800 words out of it?”

Yet, when one of my students at the community college suggested something about a month ago, my initial reaction was completely different. I wasn’t sure exactly how I was going to pull off what he had in mind but I knew I wanted to.

At 29 years old, this fella is what in higher education we term a non-traditional student.

My experience over the past 23 years of teaching is that the non-traditionals are frequently the best students in the class. It has a lot to do with motivation.

Such is the case with Jason, a culinary arts major and a star pupil.

I don’t often teach speech at the college but something compelled me to volunteer for a section this past semester and, who knows, maybe it was the hand of God putting me into Jason’s life and him into mine.

he best part of Pittston resident’s Debbie Senese’s Mother’s Day won’t come wrapped in a bow or have a high dollar amount attached to it. The best part of her day will be the opportunity of being surrounded by her seven children.

Debbie, the former Debbie Gadomski, said early on in her 36-year marriage, she realized her legacy would not be her career or her financial status, but in being a good mother to her children.

“Deb has always viewed the success of our children in their true character and their willingness to help others,” said husband Glenn. “We want them to choose a career they love and seek to do

their best.”

Both Glenn and Debbie, who live in a six-bedroom house on Antrim Road, said living in Pittston has been a very special and positive experience for their family.

“We’ve lived her our entire married life,” said Glenn. “It is a place where neighbors are not hesitant to help each other.”

All seven children of the Senese fam-

ily, who range in age from 11 to 28, still live at home. All have positive things to say about their experience in a large family.

Eight seeking Pierantoni’s former seat

By JOE HEALEY jhealey@psdispatch.com The race for Democratic and Republican ballot slots for the Pittston magisterial district judge seat is coming down the home stretch.

Eight candidates are running and all but two are cross-filed on both tickets.

Candidates who cross-filed are Arthur Bobbouine of Pittston, Alexandra “Sciandra” Kokura of Dupont, Girard “Jerry” Mecadon of Jenkins Township, Len Sanguedolce of Pittston, Mark Singer of Pittston and James O’Brien of Pittston. Jeffrey C. Kulick of Hughestown and Quiana Murphy Lehman of Dupont will only appear on the Democratic ballot.

The candidate who receives the most votes in each party will square off in the Nov. 5 general election.

The state Supreme Court recently approved vast Pittston and Jenkins townships and small borough of Yatesville being added to the magisterial district that currently represents Pittston City, Dupont, Duryea and Hughestown. Realignment of the district takes effect on June 1.

The Pittston seat is currently occupied on an interim basis by Senior Magisterial Judge Andrew Barilla Jr., formerly the longtime Swoyersville judge. He was appointed to the seat after Fred Pierantoni became a county judge.

One early favorite for the district magistrate’s seat was former Luzerne County District Attorney Jackie Musto Carroll of Yatesville, but she has decided not to run.

According to campaign finance reports filed with the Luzerne County Election Office for the latest reporting period ending on May 6, Kokura was the biggest moneymaker and the biggest spender,

He then worked as a criminal justice instructor at the Municipal Police Officer’ Education and Training Commission at Luzerne County Community College and Fortis Institute in Forty Fort. He is currently the Prothonotary and Clerk of Courts for Luzerne County appointed by the Luzerne County Manager.

He was elected to the Pittston City Home Rule Study Commission, serving as the treasurer and as a current member of the Transition Committee for the new form of government. He is also a certified notary public Bobbouine is married to the former Trish Sgarlat and they have two children, a son, Arthur Primo, 6, and daughter, Giovanna, 2.

Alexandra “Sciandra” Kokura, 30, of Dupont, said that as a

special court master, she’s currently doing many of the duties a district judge performs.

“I’m currently presiding over cases, weighing evidence, making decisions, just like a magisterial district judge.”

She said now that the district is expanded, it is important a have a full-time magisterial judge.

“I don’t operate a private law practice and it’s important I’m not trying to balance both,” she said. “The community will be better served by having an accessible magistrate 24 hours a day. The taxpayers deserve a full time magistrate. I’m willing and dedicated and excited to do it.”

She said she hopes work with local groups to help identify repeat See JUDGE, Page 18

He said drugs are a big problem in the district and he would participate in public awareness programs to curb crime and drug use in the district.

“I’m willing to work with police and community members in crime prevention program,” he said. “We need to get the residents more involved.”

He said he’d be understanding and fair when dealing with the public.

“At magistrate court, you’re the people’s judge,” he said. “If the people don’t understand what’s going on, it’s my job as a magisterial judge to help them understand.”

Bobbouine said he is unsure if he has to be certified by the Minor Judiciary Education Board because he as a law degree, but is not a member of the state bar.

The board’s website says training is necessary if an elected judge is not a member of the state bar.

Bobbouine is a 1994 graduate of Pittston Area High School and earned a bachelors’ degree in history and political science from the University of Scranton. He graduated from Dickinson Law School in 2001. He then spent 8 years in the Luzerne County Sheriff’s Office, rising to the post of chief deputy

strongly entrenched in tunnels and caves armed with mines.

During the battle, 4,509 Japanese soldiers were killed and only 19 prisoners surrendered. Yurek’s unit was credited with saving many lives by disarming mines and bombs.

“I still remember General MacArthur wading to shore on Corregidor with his corn cob pipe,” recalled Yurek.

Yurek was awarded the Bronze Star Medal in November 1945 for showing “great heroism in action against the enemy at Luzon, Corregidor Island and the Philippine Islands.” Although untrained in mine removal, he assisted his commanding officer in disarming the mines.

Due to the large number of

bombs, Yurek volunteered for dangerous duty to deactivate them, even removing the fuses by hand.

He was credited with deactivating over 100 enemy mines in the initial stages of the operation on Corregidor Island.

Yurek’s unit was slated to invade Japan when President Harry Truman ended the war and the Japanese surrendered.

During his service in the Pacific Theater, Yurek was awarded four Bronze Battle Stars, a Bronze Arrowhead, Good Conduct Medal and ribbons for American Defense, Asiatic Pacific Campaign, Philippine Liberation, Victory and a Presidential Citation Badge.

He was honorably discharged in January 194, returned to West Wyoming and married Elinor Kadar the following April.

He went back to work as a patternmaker at United Foundry and worked there for 62 years, rising to the position of plant manager and vice president before he retired.

George and Ellie had been married for 67 years when she passed

away earlier this year. They had three children, Greg, George and Ann, along with seven grandchildren.

Yurek says “my Ellie” was with him every step of the way through their 70 extraordinary years to-

gether.

Yurek is honored that the parade committee has selected him as Grand Marshall. He had rarely shared his World War II experiences, but his children encouraged him to tell his story.

Nominations for four seats on the Wyoming Area school board are on the ballot in the May 21 primary election.

Two of the four incumbents, Gil Dominick and Frank Casarella, are not running for reelection, so there will be at least two new board members and possibly four next school year.

There are nine candidates for the nominations. All nine are crossfiled as Republicans and Democrats.

Among the candidates are the two incumbents, board president John Bolin and treasurer John Marianacci, who have been on the board since 2005 and are running as a team; former board members Tony Valenti and Nick DeAngelo who lost by 1.08 and 1.5 percent in the 2011 general election and are running as a team; three newcomers to politics from Exeter Township, John Paul Bonin, Kimberly Yochem and Michael J. Brown, who are running as a team; and two previous candidates who are running independently in Ree Ree DeLuca and Jerry Stofko.

Four of those candidates will make up the next board with Estelle Campenni, Deanna Farrell, Mary Louise Degnan, Elizabeth GoberMangan and Carl Yorina, Jr. Every candidate sees the lack of a teachers’ union contract as a major issue, but they all acknowledge that if a settlement is reached between the current board and the union before the November election, newcomers to the next board won’t have input into that contract, or a future one, unless it is less than four years.

John Bolin Incumbent board president John Bolin, the owner/operator of Flowers by Lucille in Wyoming Borough, had a quick answer when asked for three top issues: “Teachers contract, budget, security and safety.”

Asked about the status of the negotiations with the teachers union he said, “They’re coming along,

progressing. We met on May 1.

We’re following procedures, meeting in good faith and progressing very well. Health care is an issue.

We’ve got to get that hammered out.”

Bolin said raising taxes has been a necessary evil. “In 2005, before I got elected the previous board passed a teachers’ contract and a $20 million construction project and didn’t pay for it. We cut the construction project to $10 million, but we’re still paying for it. It’s like a 30-year mortgage.”

As to the safety issue, he said, “It’s safe, but there is always room for improvement. Restructuring the entrance, maybe new glass in front of the school. We’ll have to see what we can afford.”

John Marianacci Incumbent board secretary John Marianacci has a Bachelor’ s Degree in Criminal Justice. He is a 20year veteran corrections officer for Luzerne County. He is running as a team with Bolin.

Tony Valenti Candidate Tony Valenti is the office manager for Cenera Auto Parts in West Pittston.

Valenti, who was on the board for 20 years before losing a close race in the 2011 General Election, said her top issues are the lack of a teachers contract, property taxes and the budget. All are intertwined and, she said, “Everything is about money.”

As to the budget she said, “We’ve been away for two years, so we’ll have to see where we can go with it. We may have to make cuts, but I don’t want to hurt education. The students are the priority. They are our future.”

Valenti said things are tough all over and while there is no easy

Downtown alive with art

Feature planned every month

By JACK SMILES jsmiles@psdispatch.com

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE SUDDAY DISPATCH

Downtown Manager Rose Randazzo called Friday’s inaugural Second Friday Art Walk a “huge success.”

She estimated that over 500 people walked through the downtown to browse the art displays and eat at the city’s restaurants.

The restaurants were all busy.

At one point 30 people were waiting outside Palazzo’s to be seated.

Across the street at Napoli’s workers were in a frenzy keeping up with demand.

Inside the Tomato Bar patrons were lined two deep around the bar, while on the deck a standing room only crowd listened to the Sperrazza Band playing classic rock in the bandshell on the lower Tomato Lot.

Rooney’s had a bar full most of the evening.

The Art Seen Gallery patrons filed in and out all evening, stopping at the free buffet and for a glass of wine.

“We’re very pleased,” Randazzo said.

“It’s one of the best things for the merchants.”

The city plans to double the number of artists on the street next month, when more of the rolling display grids are available.

The city is also exploring ways to get more people to walk up Main Street beyond Broad and William to the area of the Music Scene and the Fuji Sushi & Asian Fusion restaurant One idea is to have live music at the Millennium Clock to attract attention to North Main.

GUEST OPINION

A Mother’s Day letter to Grandma Ed Note: Following is a letter sent to Ann Conte, of Pittston, by her granddaughter Ellen Schroeder, of Connecticut. Ellen’s mom is Karen Flannery, the former Karen Conte.

We are publishing it because it is beautifully written and because the sentiment expressed applies to all grandmothers. Ann Conte is a vibrant 93 years old. Also, the “Gramps” mentioned is the late Dan Conte, beloved Pittston barber.

Dear Grandma, I wanted to send you a note on Mother’s Day to acknowledge the role and influence you have had on me and the other mothers in the family. You are the mother of mothers — the “Grand Mother” in the truest sense of the word.

In particular, I am grateful for the time I shared with you growing up. I have such fond memories of hiking Buttermilk Falls and Rickets Glen and wonderful times at Ocean City with you. I think most fondly, though, of my sleepovers with you as a child.

You may not remember, but you were the first person to talk about race with me (you explained that the term “colored” was no longer to be used; instead “Black” was the most sensitive term).

I can remember watching you study or do homework of some sort (perhaps you took some kind of class?) and looking forward to the time that I had homework with wirebound notebooks and sharpened pencils.

I can remember you noticing with mild disgust the age spots on your hands — I can see them still in my mind’s eye. Thinking of this as I see my own age spots developing seems to lessen my own distaste of aging and all of its accompaniments — both good and bad.

I remember Gramps’ breakfasts in the morning — the table set and food ready even though he might have been long gone to the barber shop. This may be one of the reasons that breakfast is still my favorite meal.

I remember the sweets that could always be found in your kitchen — in the cabinet on the freezer.

I always looked forward with great anticipation to spending that special time with you.

I think, too,about the wonderful mothers you raised — Jane, so full of goodness and giving, and my own mom, the woman who taught me most everything I know about marriage and mothering. You raised women who are giving, loving, and strong — likely because this is the embodiment of you and your traits.

Through the good times and the tough times, I have learned what an honor it is to be a mother in this family and, for that, I am most grateful to you — the mother of mothers.

Annual church tour planned for June Atty. Jan Lokuta, originator and host of the annual summer tour of Greater Pittston historic churches says he is planning something different this year. The group will visit only two churches: Saint Michael’s Byzantine Catholic church on North Main Street, Pittston, and The Italian Christian Church, in South Pittston. “But I am spending an hour at each,” Lokuta wrote in an email. “At Saint Michael’s I hope to have the priest give a talk on the church’s icons and possibly an explanation of how they are created and at the Italian Christian Church members of the congregation will sing hymns in Italian.”

In this painting by Brian Keeler, submitted

by Lokuta, St. Michael’s is visible.

The date of the tour is to be announced.

The Dispatch welcomes submissions to the Your Space section. Drop off or mail to The Sunday Dispatch, 109 New St., Pittston, PA, 18640 or email to sd@pdispatch.com.

YOUR OPINION Mothers make special friends From the moment we are born, Until the moment we die, There is a special beauty, A beauty which catches one eye!

That beautiful woman Who gives birth to you, Her ways and love, Always faithful and true!

A mother will stand by your side, She respects you with pride!

During this beautiful month of May, We honor her on her day!

Remember, honor her, You have no other, They all, someway, seem to follow

The footsteps of our Beloved “Blessed Mother!”

They help us with our school years, They teach us how to pray, They show us that tender loving care In every abiding way!

They teach us how to form Into dignified women and men!

Yes, a mother has been in every situation, She tops the scale with a “10!”

A mother warns you About your decisions, A mother teaches you about life A mother is very concerned, When it is time for a child

To take a husband or a wife!

A mother is always there for you, She has every heartfelt intention!

A mother, in my opinion, is God’s greatest invention!

So if you are now in search For never - ending Love, Love that never ends, Look no further than Your very own Mom, Because, “Mothers Make Special Friends” Michael English Pittston Township

Says writer is confused about Exeter/West Pittston border This letter is written in regards to the May 5 letter from John Disanferdinand from West Pittston about two local bars, Dowses’ Suds & Grub and and the old Susquehanna Bar & Grill.

It’s nice that Disanferdinand thinks Dowses is a “perfect fit for a sleepy little town like West Pittston” and that “the Susquehanna was another bar that fit perfectly here.”

I would remind Disanferdinand that the world doesn’t revolve around West Pittston.

Both establishments are in Exeter.

Carbs good and bad baggage Mary R. Ehret, MS, RD, LDN Penn State Cooperative Extension Many folks today are looking for the secret ingredient to losing a few pounds.

Carbohydrates get a bad rap and are sometimes labeled as being the culprit for gaining weight.

It’s comfort food, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, stuffing and bread pudding.

Yes, you are right, if the portions aren’t controlled, one can easily rack up the calories. There are two kinds of carbohydrates, simple and complex. Each group comes with extra baggage, good and bad.

The first group, simple carbohydrates, are things like sugar, sucrose and nature’s sugar found in fruit, fructose.

There is also the natural sugar found in milk, lactose along with others.

Chemists call these monosaccharide and disaccharides.

The second group, complex carbohydrates, are found in foods like pasta, potatoes, bread and rice. They contain starches and fibers, both soluble and insoluble. Chemists call these polysaccharides.

Why group these into different groups? It is because our bodies break these down and absorb them in different ways. Complex carbohydrates have an extra step in digestion.

First, our bodies need to digest polysaccharides into the disaccharide maltose. That’s why when we eat complex carbohydrates, our hunger pains are delayed when compared to simple carbohydrates.

Sucrose, table sugar, comes with little nutrient value other than calories. It also causes dental cavities.

Check the nutrition label to see how much sucrose is in the food you eat.

The other carbohydrates have vitamins and minerals, along with fiber.

These are healthy additions to the calories. Folks that need to limit carbohydrates should consider getting them from fruits and vegetables and whole grains. These foods contain lots of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.

The USDA dietary guidelines encourage Americans to limit complex carbohydrates to one quarter of the plate. Half of those should be from whole grains. Other simple carbohydrates come from one half the plates, which is fruits and vegetables.

If you are a son or daughter, why not celebrate this Mother’s Day by giving your mom a healthy carb dessert instead of candy.

Package it in a decorative tin or tray.

It’s easy to make and sure to be a hit with Mom. Chocolate Drizzled Fruit 2 tablespoons chocolate chips (semi-sweet) 2 bananas (large, peeled and cut into quarters) 8 strawberries (large) 1⁄4 cup walnuts or almonds (chopped, unsalted) Place chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl. Heat on high for 10 seconds and stir.

Repeat until chocolate is melted, about 30 seconds.

Place fruit on a small tray covered with a piece of waxed paper.

Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate on top of the fruit.

Sprinkle the fruit with chopped nuts.

Cover the fruit and place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.

Serve chilled. Y ield 4 servings.

A LIONS SHARE Exeter Borough Lions Club was founded in 1951

By EILEEN CIPRIANI Sunday Dispatch Correspondent In 1917, a Chicago businessman told members of his local business club they should look beyond business endeavors and serve their communities.

Over the years, that same community spirit spread across the country, reaching Exeter Borough in 1951, as local businessman Angelo Russo became the first president of the Exeter Lions Club.

The Exeter Lions were sponsored by the Duryea Lions Club and began serving the community, focusing on sight conservation.

The club met at Anselmi’s Cafe on Wyoming Avenue across from the borough hall.

Lion Jack Brogan has been a member for 59 years.

“We used to go door to door selling brooms to raise funds,” said Brogan.

The Annual Lions Carnival was the club’s biggest fundraiser for many years, bringing in tens of See EXETER LIONS, Page 35

offenders in the community.

“I want crime watch groups to understand that as a magistrate I know that I’m the first person that deals with crime in our community on a basic grassroots level, so I will be available to them,” she said. “I understand as an attorney how to use the bail process to keep the most violent offenders off the street for as long as possible.”

She also hopes to establish a truancy program at the local court level to work with schools to help ensure kids are attending school and help families deal with truancy.

After the Luzerne County corruption scandal, she volunteered to work on the Youth Aid Panel Program through the District Attorney’s Office.

Born and raised in Dupont, she graduated from Scranton Prep in 2000. She received a bachelor’s degree at Lehigh University and, after several years off, she received her law degree from Widner University School of Law in 2009. After college, she served as an assistant to former U.S. Rep. Paul Kanjorski in

Washington, D.C. After law school, she served as law clerk to Lackawanna County Court of Common Please Judge Thomas J. Munley.

She currently serves as court-appointed Special Master presiding over Family Court in Lackawanna County.

She is married to Nick Kravitz, formerly of Pittston. Her family has resided in Dupont for many generations.

“I understand the hard work it takes and I also understand how you give back to your community,” she said.

Jeffrey C. Kulick, 27, is youngest of the announced candidates, but said what he lacks in age, he makes up for in dedication.

“And a fresh face for the community is a good thing,” he said.

Kulick, of Hughestown, is affiliated with his older brother, John, in the Kulick Law Firm in Exeter. He serves as a solicitor for the Greater Pittston YMCA. “I grew up in this area and worked hard my whole life,” he said. From his landscaping job when he was younger, to his law practice with is brother, he said he knows hard work.

“I feel I can do this job with the dignity and respect it requires,” he said.

“I have my experience both in and out of magisterial court,” he said. “And county court, too, family and criminal law. Everything from criminal disputes to civil issues” He said he’s seen too many DUI cases.

“DUI’s are so preventable,” he said. “Programs that stress moderation and common sense are needed, but we really need to reach out to the people before they get behind the wheel drunk.”

He promised to be impartial and remain a full-time magisterial district judge.

“I”ll give everyone a fair chance,” he said. “You have to listen to everyone.”

Kulick grew up in Hughestown and graduated from Seton Catholic in 2003. He received a criminal law and justice degree from Penn State University in 2007 and received his juris doctorate from Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Michigan in 2010. He passed the bar exam in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

He is in general practice, focusing on family and criminal law. He is not married.

Qiana Murphy Lehman, 37, said she has a strong concern for the spread of drugs and gang violence in the local community.

“They’re changing the scope of our communities,” she said. “We have a lot of small towns and the criminals are using the smallness and peacefulness as assets.”

Lehman said she has both criminal and civil experience. She has prosecuted cases for the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office and has civil law experience working at the law firm of Brady & Grabowski in Wilkes-Barre.

“I’m running because I have the qualifications and experience to to to do a good job,” She said. “I hope to serve the community well.”

She promises honesty, integrity and fairness.

“I offer a unique combination of legal experience, excellent legal education, and common sense,” she said. “I have practiced law for 10 plus years, but have not abandoned my common sense which serves me, as a community leader, wife, and mother of two.”

She said she has the ability and good judgment to use bail to help protect the community.

“I have to ask myself, is this person a flight risk, does he have family,” she said. “Should there be nominal bail or ROR? Or should there be a high bail for serious crimes?”

Born and raised in Pittston Township, she graduated from Pittston

Area High School in 1993. She received her undergraduate degrees in theater and political science from East Stroudsburg University.

She received her law degree from the New School of Law in Boston in 2003. She was in private practice in Pittston for two years then joined the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office for three years.

She was a member of the Brady & Grabowski Law Firm in WilkesBarre for the past six and a half years.

In 2003, she volunteered at the Barbara J. Hart Justice Center, a non-profit group associated with the Women’s Resource Center and offered legal services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

Lehman resides in Dupont with her husband, David Lehman, and their two children, Calder, 6, and Covington Rose, 2.

“I am not a politician,” she said.

“I don’t come from a political family and I will serve without any political strings.”

cluding the addition the three new towns.

“It’s a busy office and it’s only going to get busier,” Mecadon said.

It’s a full-time job that Mecadon said he is fully prepared to handle.

“The public needs to have someone with experience who can deal with all of the the issues,” he said, including preliminary hearings, bail, truancy in school, municipal codes, landlord tenant cases.

Mecadon decided to run because it’s an area of the law he’s always been interested in.

“I feel I can do a public service,” he said. “I’ve always been involved with the community.” He listed a number of organizations he belongs to, including the Lions, the Rotary, UNICO, the Knights of Columbus and the Holy Name Society of St. Joseph Marello.

Mecadon said his qualifications, his experience and his record are what sets him apart from other candidates.

“I’ve handled every type of case that comes before a magistrate,” he said. “And I’m ready to hit the ground running. I’ve been doing this for 22 years. I’m ready to handle it.”

Born in Pittston Township, he graduated from Seton Catholic High School in 1983. He earned a bachelor of science degree in business management from the University of Scranton in 1987 and his law degree from Widner University School of Law in Wilmington, Del., in 1990.

His first legal job was a clerk in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Scranton. He worked for a year in Philadelphia and returned home to private practice work. He teamed with current Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Mike Vough

Singer, of Hughestown, said he would offer night court for those employed during the day, primarily for summary offenses, neighbor disputes and minor civil matters.

He pledged he would be available 24-7 for local law enforcement in signing warrants and arraigning defendants and he will give up his private legal practice to be a fulltime magisterial judge.

Singer served 16 years on the Pittston Area School Board and led the board in the wake of the countywide corruption scandal.

“I was the face of the district after the scandals,” he said. “I said there was a dark cloud over the district and promised things would get better. And things got better. We go back into the business of education.”

Singer said he’s the only lawyer running who has defended and prosecuted capital cases.

“I’ve prepared my whole life for this position,” Singer said.

A 1980 graduate of Pittston Area High School, he earned a degree in history and political science from the University of Scranton in 1984.

He graduated from the Dickinson School of Law in 1987. His legal career started in the Public Defenders Office in Lehigh County. He served as an ADA in the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office under Correale Stevens, Jerome Cohen and Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. He then went into private prac-

to drugs,” he said. “We need to do more to stop the violence.”

He suggested rehabilitation programs are helpful and would encourage drug addicts that come before him to utilize them, especially younger defendants.

He said if elected, he would conduct night court by request for people who work during the day. He said he would also close his private practice and become a full-time magistrate.

A lifelong resident of Greater Pittston, he graduated from Seton Catholic in 1997. He obtained a bachelor of science degree in economics from the University of Scranton and a law degree from Penn State’s Dickinson School of Law in 2006. He opened a private practice on Public Square in Wilkes-Barre from 2006 to 2010 and moved the practice to Pittston in 2011. While working for the gas companies, he said he mostly writes legal opinions before drilling is performed.

He is married to the former Jennifer Borget and they have two sons, Lenny, 3, and Nicholas, 6 months.

Mark Singer, 50, said he’s seen it all.

From summary citations to capital murder cases, he’s sat on both sides of the table and said his experience sets him apart in this judicial race.

“I’ve spent most of my professional life in a courtroom,” he said.

“I have an extensive legal background. I’m wiser, more mature and can hit the ground running.”

Pittston Area High School. He studied business administration and information technology at LCCC and Marywood University, but he never received a degree.

He worked at FedEx for 5 years and owned O’Brien’s Pub and Grill in Avoca for 7 years. He was Mayor of Avoca for 3 years and was the Luzerne County Recorder of Deeds for 4 years until Home Rule did away with the elected position.

He is currently unemployed and a “full-time father.”

He is married to the former Ann Snopkowski of Dupont and they have a son, Seamus, 18, and a daughter, Ella, 5. The family has lived in Pittston for the past 10 years.

“This job is all about using common sense,” he said. “I believe a have a tremendous amount of common sense.”

Len Sanguedolce, 34, has been on the front line of the Marcellus Shale natural gas boom, writing opinions for some of the major drillers in the region, including Chesapeake, Exxon and Chief.

But, he said, his experience in the law is extensive and his first few years in the legal profession were spent in front of magisterial district judges.

“I feel like I have the experience to do a good job,” he said. “Not just in education, but in life. I have an ability to be fair and independent.”

He considers drugs to be a serious problem in this area.

and subsequent has been in practice on his own. He is also an assistant public defender for Luzerne County and serves on the board of directors of Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce.

He is married to the former Christa DeVizia and they reside in Jenkins Township.

“I really think you need to look at experience of all the candidates,” he said. “And you’ll see I stand out.”

James “Red” O’Brien, 44, said he’s spent half of his life in public service.

Terms as Mayor of Avoca, member of the Pittston Area School Board and the Luzerne County Recorder of Deeds make him ready to serve as the magisterial district judge for Pittston and the surrounding communities.

“I’ve had a strong sense of duty and diligence my entire life,” he said. “I hope to protect the safety and security of the community.”

O’Brien is the only candidate who didn’t attend law school, but he said his life experience makes him uniquely qualified.

“I believe I can better relate to the issues facing neighborhood, facing seniors, facing families and facing our children,” he said.

He grew up as one of ten children. “I believe growing up in such a big family opens your eyes to fully understand what life is about and to respect one another.”

He said he already took the state class required of any non-practicing lawyer to become a magisterial district judge. He said he took the class to learn more about the job.

“I was proactive to see if I was going to be able to handle it,” he said. He’ll take the test in June if he makes it past the primary election.

He said he’ll meet with community organizations, crime watch groups and senior centers to let them know what’s happening in their communities.

Born and raised in Avoca, O’Brien is a 1986 graduate of

fix, a small state sales tax increase would help. “Every school district is in trouble. The state should raise the sales tax one percent for education. That would be fair to everybody. The board’s hands are tied. They can only go to the property owners and that’s getting out of hand. I wish I had an easy answer. We have to look at everything.”

Valenti said she and the other non-incumbent candidates are not privy to the contract negotiations with the teachers, so she really can’t comment, except to say, “they have to settle.”

Valenti said experience is her greatest strength. In 20 years on the Wyoming Area School Board, she was president, secretary and treasurer.

Nick DeAngelo Nick DeAngelo served as treasurer and vice-president during his eight years on the board, before he lost a close one in 2011 and he sees that experience as a plus for his campaign. He has 38 years experience in the private sector as a retail sales manager.

His three issues are the budget, teachers’ contract and taxes.

He said he and his running partner, Valenti, have been going to meetings in the two years they have been out of office.

DeAngelo said he is against closing schools. “Neighborhood schools are one reason people want to move to our district.

So, no. We don’t want to close schools. We want to keep class sizes down. Some kids get lost in big classes. Some need individual attention. We don’t want to lose that.”

He said the budget was about $24 million when he was first elected and now it’s $30 million.

How to slow that escalation and slow the raising of taxes each year is the challenge. “We’ve go to look into everything in the budget,” he said.

DeAngelo, who was in the minority when the last teachers’ contract was approved, said that while teachers deserve “a fair contract,” if elected, and given the opportunity, he would look into having teachers contribute to their health care premiums.

John Paul Bonin A little over a year ago John Paul Bonin, Kimberly Yochem and Michael J. Brown were three of a group of parents who got together to challenge the proposed closing of the Sarah J. Dymond Elementary School in Harding.

They all live in Harding and have kids in Dymond.

Bonin said the Dymond numbers were done internally, not externally, and that was a problem.

“When we looked at the numbers, that’s when we saw the issues with the budget were district-wide and decided to form our team,” Bonin said.

Bonin emphasized though the team formed over Dymond, they would vote to close it, or another school if, “an external analysis showed a school could be closed and benefit the taxpayers on conditions of enrollment going down and that it could be justified to the state.”

The team has a campaign based on what they call three pillars of excellence: “good business management practices, community involvement and contracts.”

Examples of the three are: 1.

Look at line items and perform evaluations. 2. Get people with ideas involved. Establish a funnel of ideas from the bottom up.

Maybe go to borough meetings to get people involve. 3. Cell phones, the district has 44 cell phones and the April bill was $1,600.

In an email Bonin wrote, “With a combined forty years of leadership and strategic financial business planning, we bring new problem solving processes and business management skills for a better future.

“As taxpayers, homeowners and parents with six young children in the district, we understand the need for financial stability in our homes and in the workplace.”

As to the teachers’ contract stalemate he said, “We agree its unfair they have been teaching four years without a contract.”

Michael Brown Brown said his, Bonin’s and Yochem’s education and work experience are strengths. Bonin has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and as a manager of business development nationally in private industry he prepares yearly sales budgets and strategies Brown is employed as the Operations Manager at Prebola Enterprises, Inc. in Wyoming, where he is responsible for improving productivity, efficiency and profitability Yochem has a Bachelor’s De-

gree in Economics and a Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration. She is an Account Executive in Provider Network Management “The first thing,” Brown said, “would be to go through everything, getting new quotes. Dallas changed bus companies and saved $83,000. Every little bit helps.”

Brown said he goes to school board meetings and often there are only 30 people there. “We don’t think everyone is aware of what’s going on. We’d like to get more people at the meetings.”

Kimberly Yochem Yochem said Bonin can speak for her on the issues as the went over the budget together and are running as a team. She did say it is tough for the team to address the teachers’ contract. “There are no numbers. We only know what anybody else knows, so it’s hard to know what we would do.

They should have a contract.”

Ree Ree DeLuca Though she was defeated in the 2011 primary, DeLuca is not

deterred. She believes she could make a difference on the board.

“My three major issues are getting the teachers and retirees to contribute to their health care; second, getting the teachers’ contract settled and third transparency to public so people know what’s going on.

“This is what I think is important right now. I have three in school and care a lot about kids.”

DeLuca has questions about the Sarah J. Dymond school. “Is it true there are 12 rooms and they only use six, what’s the cost of the insurance and fees on sewage plant and how much is the cost to bus and serve lunch everyday.”

Jerry Stofko Jerry Stofko, a retired United States Postal worker who is running on his own, didn’t want to comment for this story.

Stofko missed a ballot position in the 2011 primary by 1.25 percent on the Democrat side and by 48 votes on the Republican side.

FACTS OF LAW

By Dominick P. Pannunzio, Esq. A new law says it’s illegal for broadcasters and pay TV providers to air excessively loud commercials. The FCC says all ads must maintain the same average volume as the programs they accompany. *** A federal appeals court has ruled that federal law didn’t protect text messages and pictures stored on a Texas woman’s personal phone from the prying eyes of her employers. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that the Stored Communications Act, a federal law aimed at guarding against intrusions on individual privacy, doesn’t apply to data stored on a cell phone, In doing so, the three-judge panel spiked a 2010 lawsuit filed by a former police dispatcher in Laredo, Texas, who was fired after her superiors reviewed text messages and images on her phone that revealed an extramarital affair. *** The Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act has recently been signed into law. The law revamps protections for federal employees who come forward and report misconduct, abuse of authority, or violation of law in their workplaces. *** Florida’s law telling drivers who blast their car stereos loudly to turn it down is an unconstitutional restriction of free-speech rights, the Florida Supreme Court has ruled.

You just can’t keep a Steeler fan down Two grand opening weekends slated at restored Cuz’s Susquehanna Bar & Grille

By JACK SMILES jsmiles@psdispatch.com

F

rancesco Stuppino and Maureen Noone had been open less than two years at Cuz’s Susquehanna Avenue Bar & Grille in Exeter when their Pittsburgh Steelers-themed business was destroyed by fire on April 30, 2012.

On Thursday — talking in the gleaming new Steelers bar they opened next door to the fire site — Stuppino talked about how he felt after the fire, “I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know if I wanted to reopen. Then I got these letters,” he said pointing at one wall of the bar where framed, hand-written letters from Steelers owner Art Rooney and former linebacker legend Jack Lambert are displayed.

The Lambert letter reads, “Heard

you had some bad luck. Pick yourself up and get back in the fight.”

Rooney and Lambert learned about the fire from a story that was picked up by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Their letters put Stuppino in action. “I figured if I reached so many people’s lives with a tiny bar, I must be doing something right.”

Though among the memorabilia lost in the fire were autographed photos and jerseys of former Steelers Jerome Bettis, Jack Ham, “Mean” Joe Greene and Rod Woodson; Western PA native, Joe Montana; and the late Pittsburgh Pirates star Roberto Clemente, Stuppino, with the help of the Steelers largest fan club the Steel City Mafia, has rebuilt his memorabilia collection.

Among the displays are three seats from the Steelers old home, Three Rivers Stadium; one of 53 lockers from the vistors’ locker room with game-worn jerseys

Art outside Cuz’s bar, shown here, and inside was created by Steelers fan Bob “Stretch” Lewis.

hanging inside; one of six commemorative Super Bowl helmets signed by Ben Roethlisberger; a Heinz Ward autographed jersey and that’s just the tip of a black and gold iceberg.

Most of the art, including the Steeler swirl motif on the outside wall and the Pittsburgh skylines on inside the rest rooms were created by Pittston artist Bob “Stretch” Lewis.

The architect on the project was Lynn Kesselman. Donnie Pagnato and Jim White did most of the construction work, including building a bar from scratch. The job took seven months.

Stuppino and Noone had a quiet opening last week. Two grand opening weekends are scheduled for May 17, 18 and 19 and 24, 25, 26 with retired Steelers coming in to meet customers and sign On the 17th retired Steelers Chris Hoke and Ronin Cole will be at Cuz’s. Yancey Thigpen and J.T. Thomas will be there on the 18th and Jason Gildon on the 19th.

On the 24th Frenchy Fuqua, the self-proclaimed “French Count” — who was the intended receiver on the legendary Immaculate Reception play in the 1972 AFC playoff game — will be at Cuz’s. Fuqua

was a flashy dresser as a player who wore mini-aquariums with colorful live fish in high-heeled shoes to match his outfits.

Greg LLoyd, Andy Russell and Louie Lipps are scheduled for the 25th and Dwayne Woodruff for the 26th. Stuppino said a food vendor who travels nationwide told him Cuz’s is a top Steelers-decorated bar in the country.

Cuz’s, which can seat 90, has a main bar with six taps and a side bar called Cuz’s Corner. He is serving food, pizza, burgers and wings for starters, and has Steeler-motif menus on order.

Stuppino and Noone have opened bars in the past, but always in established places. “This is the first time we ever had anything new,” he said.

plaintiff any verdict that’s awarded.

This can lead to an unfair verdict, since the jury will be reluctant to award a large verdict if it thinks it will financially destroy the defendant’s life.

Many facts in a case are purposefully kept from juries for fear that the jury will be prejudiced or swayed by such knowledge.

Perhaps it’s time juries hear the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Love, Mom, Dad, John, J.J. and your whole family.

Pennsylvania’s Rules of Evidence prohibit an injured party (plaintiff) from informing the jury that the defendant in a civil case has insurance to pay the verdict. The reasoning behind the Rule is to keep the jury focused on the facts of the case, instead of on the issue of how much insurance the defendant carries. It’s also feared that the jury will award a runaway verdict if it thinks a large insurance company is going to pay it on behalf of the defendant.

said.

The club is always looking to increase it memership and fundraising is also challenging.

Gone are the days of the carnivals and the club’s signature fundraiser, a Night at the Races, has been postponed until fall, hoping the state legislature passes legislation to allow the fundraiser to oc-

cur.

Brogan says a lot has changed over the years, but the Lions’ mission to serve the community has remained strong. He is proud of all the Lions Club has accomplished in his nearly six decades with the club.

“We have left our mark on Exeter and are still leaving it,” he said.

thousands of dollars annually, said Len Bonfanti.

In those days, the club’s major project was distributing food baskets to the needy. Bonfanti, a Lion Club member for 35 years, said the club has done much to improve the community over the years.

The club built the clubhouse at the Panthers football field, sponsors the Little League and built the Lions Park. Brogan recalled an occasion years ago when a young boy from Exeter needed eye surgery in Philadelphia. The family could not afford to travel so the Lions Club donated $5,000 to make the trip possible.

That same spirit of community service is still alive in the club today.

The club helps support Boy Scouts, American Legion, Leader Dogs, Salvation Army and eye conservation programs such as the Eye Bank and White Cane collections.

“To Serve is our mission,” says Lion Toni Valenti.

In 2004, Valenti was the first woman to join the Exeter Lions and has served as the club president.

Today, the Exeter Lions Club has 13 women among its 38 members.

Many of the current Lions have a historical connection to the club.

Lion Rich Anselmi’s father, Ettore, was one of the club’s original members. Lion Michael Burke was a recipient of the Exeter Lions Club’s generosity.

When Burke, who is hearing impaired, was in high school, the club gave him medical equipment that allowed him to communicate better with his teachers. After graduating from college, Burke joined the Lions so he could give back to the community that helped him.

Seeing her neighbor receive a service dog because of the Lions led Audrey Kurz to get involved.

“I am just happy to serve and give back to the community,” she

gathering with her sisters for movie night or for a shopping trip.

Lauren, a 10th grade student at Pittston Area, has a multitude of interests, including dance and gymnastics. But this time of the year finds her most often at the track practicing pole vaulting.

“I’ve been trying to learn some new techniques and get better at it,” said Lauren.

Shawn, a junior accounting major at Kings, said his parents often offer him good advice, but then allow him to make his own decisions. “My dad did talk to me about what I might major, and then I chose accounting,” he said.

All of the Senese children have a balance of academic and extracurruclar pursuits.

“For example,” said Glenn, smiling, “my wife made sure all the children could swim and the boys are all life guards.”

Throughout the lives of all her children, Debbie was quick to support their efforts in a variety of areas. She said she spent a lot of time in the car just getting them where they needed to go.

Deb, a medical technologist, loves her part-time job, but admits her children are never far from her mind.

“I feel that having a parent at home gives children a sense of stability and consistency,” she said. “But, when we are not here, the kids are pretty good about cooking for themselves.”

Debbie’s cooking skills are highly valued by her family, as echoed in her son Michael’s good word for her mac and cheese.

“Nobody can make mac and cheese like my mom,” said Michael, 18, “the perfect recipe, the perfect mom.”

The Seneses are also united by their faith. All attend church at Our Lady of Mount Carmel on a regular basis making Sunday a special day.

When asked about their vision for the future, both Glenn and Debbie said they simply want to move forward “doing what they have always done in a spirit of love.”

It seems to be working.

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

WA has never before seen the likes of these two

By JACK SMILES jsmiles@psdispatch.com Between them Serra Degnan and Nick O’Brien have more letters than alphabet soup.

It might be said Degnan is a female version of O’Brien, or O’Brien is a male version of Degnan.

Either way, according to Wyoming Area athletic director Joe Pizano, the Wyoming Area seniors “are the two best all-around athletes I’ve seen in the 15 years I’ve been here.”

A search for more versatile athletes than Degnan or O’Brien at Wyoming Area might go deeper into the past than 15 years, or even back to the beginning, but in any case Pizano put it this way. “If we sent them out to play ping-pong they’d be the best ping-pong players. If we had a curling team, my money would be on them.”

The parallels between the two are many. Both are all-star caliber three-sport athletes, plus one. Degnan has been a starter at the most important positions: in field hockey, forward; basketball, point guard; and softball, short stop; since she was a freshman. When she can fit it in she runs sprints for the track team between softball games.

O’Brien, as the school’s alltime leading rusher, is best known as a football player, but he also wrestles in the winter, where he qualified for districts, and plays centerfield in baseball in the spring and also runs sprints for the track team.

He’s the no. 1 seed in the 100 in District 2 AAA and no.2 in the 200 and javelin.

Both made all-state, she in field hockey, he in football. Both are going to D-1 schools, he, Bucknell for football, and she, Syracuse for field hockey.

Serra Degnan and Nick O’Brien may be the two most versatile athletes ever at Wyoming Area.

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 12, 2013

Sports Both are considered small for high-level athletes. She’s 5-3, he’s 5-9. But both are all-out, dirty-uniform hustlers with instincts, game smarts and speed.

Wyoming Area baseball coach Chick Andrewscavage said of O’Brien, “God gave him something.”

Asked about Degnan, softball coach Barry Pryzbyla said, “She can hit with power, she’s got speed.” He laughed aloud talking about her fielding, saying, “She plays her position with unbelievable skill.”

One parallel between Degnan and O’Brian is uncanny. One week early in the spring O’Brien hit a home run in a baseball game and then a couple days later went over to the track and won the 100 and 200 sprints, setting a school record in the 200.

As if challenged, a couple weeks later Degnan hit a home run in a softball game and then a couple days later went over to the track and won the 200.

Degnan is flattered by the comparison, but doesn’t put herself in O’Brien’s class. “He’s amazing. In football he plays every position. He’s the talk of the football nation. I guess we’re kind of alike, we both play a lot of sports and we do fairly well in them. I’m kind of like the girls’ version of him, but he’s much better than me.”

O’Brien said Degnan gets his attention. “Me and Serra have been friends since 7th grade. I’ve seen her play and I’ve always been impressed by what she can do. It seems like she’s the top girl around the area and it’s fun to watch her play.”

Pizano said having the pair of once-in-a-generation athletes in the same high school class has been a great for Wyoming Area above their obvious athleticism.

“They’re coachable, they’re respectful and they’re dedicated.”

Lady Warriors need help to catch Berwick

By JACK SMILES jsmiles@psdispatch.com

T

hough they won their only game of the week, beating Dallas 9-3, the Wyoming Area Lady Warriors need help to repeat as WVC Division 2 champions.

Right now the standings of the top three teams are: Berwick 10-2, Wyoming Area 9-4, Tunkhannock 8-4.

Wyoming Area has one game left, tomorrow at home versus Berwick on Senior Day. Berwick and Tunkhannock each have two games left.

Berwick plays at Crestwood (410) on Wednesday. Tunkhannock is home versus Dallas (4-8) on Monday and at Lake Lehman (3-9) Tuesday.

The best that can happen for Wyoming Area is a tie for the top spot, if they beat Berwick tomorrow and Crestwood upsets Berwick Wednesday. A three-way tie is possible, too.

But even if that doesn’t happen, there’s plenty of incentive to win Monday against Berwick.

It’s Senior Day and by winning WA could improve its chances of finishing third in the District 2 AAA standings and getting a home games in the first couple rounds of the District 2 playoffs on Monday, May 20.

In the win over Dallas Alex Holtz pitched a complete game and struck out six. Adrianne Pryzbyla was 3-for-4.

Her bases loaded double into the left field corner in the sixth drove in three runs. Nicole Turner had three hits and scored twice, Bree Bednarski had two hits and scored twice and Kaitlyn Kross had a double.

Pittston Area was shutout twice.

Hazleton’s Becky Demko threw a three-hitter in a 10-0 five-inning game Monday at Hazleton as HA clinched at least a tie for the WVC Division 1 title. On Thursday HA (13-1) won again and clinched the title.

Alyssa Talerico pitched four innings and had a double for Pittston Area.

On Friday at home PA lost to Valley West 8-0. Taylor Baloga had a double and single for Pittston Area.

Alyssa Talerico had two hits and Antoinette Scialpi had a double.

PA is 2-12 with one game left on Monday versus Crestwood (5-8.)

Warriors go into Saturday with title shot

By TOM ROBINSON Dispatch Correspondent

Pittston Area 9 Crestwood 2 The pitching of Matt Mott and the hitting of Josh Razvillas and Pat McGinty carried Pittston Area to a 9-2 victory at Crestwood Tuesday.

Mott struck out six in a six-hitter to help the Patriots to their third win of the season.

He walked just one.

Razvillas continued to spark the offense from his leadoff spot. He hit a home run and scored twice while driving in two runs.

McGinty had two hits and drove in three runs.

Hazleton Area 1 Pittston Area 0 The Patriots got another outstanding pitching performance Thursday before falling, 1-0, at Hazleton Area, the second-place team in Division 1.

Michael Schwab threw a onehitter for Pittston Area (3-10), but Joey Baran and Sal Biasi combined to do the same for Hazleton Area.

The Cougars improved their chances of repeating as champion

when they took advantage of two errors by the Patriots to score the game’s only run in the fourth inning.

Schwab struck out nine.

Baran struck out 11 in six innings and Biasi two more in the seventh.

Justin Martinelli had the only hit for the Patriots.

The Patriots end their season at home Monday and Wednesday vesus Valley West and Coughlin.

Before Wyoming Area played its Senior Day game Thursday, the Warriors had another reason to celebrate.

Dallas defeated Tunkhannock, 7-3, Tuesday, putting the Warriors back in control of their own destiny in the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 baseball race.

The Warriors were scheduled for Saturday afternoon at Tunkhannock with a chance to take the division lead going into their final regularseason game.

The game was too late for deadline.

Going into the Saturday game WA was 8-4 and Tunkhannock, 8-3. WA has one game left, assuming they weren’t rained out Saturday, and Tunkhannock two. WA has Dallas Monday, while Tunkhannock plays Holy Redeemer.

Tunkhannock has an unscheduled make up with Lake Lehman, which will have to be played this week.

Wyoming Area entered the week needing an additional Tunkhannock loss, even if the Warriors won all three of their remaining games, in order to have a title chance.

The Warriors got the help, then began trying to take care of their end by winning in their first game in six days.

Chupka, one of the seniors being honored, had a triple, double and single while driving in four runs in a 10-0, six-inning win over LakeLehman.

Mike Carey and Jeremy Zezza shut out Lake-Lehman. Carey struck out five while allowing six hits and a walk in 4 2/3 innings.

Zezza struck out two in 1 1/3 hitless innings.

By JACK SMILES jsmiles@psdispatch.com In May of 2001 Brian Cashmere won two gold medals and one silver medal at the District 2 Track and Field Championships.

Two months later Brian, who was 17, and his mother Mary were killed in a traffic accident on I-84 while returning from a track camp at Brown University in Rhode Island, where Brian, who would have been a PA senior that fall, had been awarded a scholastic/athletic scholarship.

Five years ago some of his friends and Pittston Area teammates, including Kevin O’Boyle who spoke at a vigil for Cashmere at Charley Trippi Stadium the Sunday after he was killed, and Tim Cotter, who like Cashmere was a Brown scholarship athlete, started a golf tournament

to raise money for a scholarship in Cashmere’s name through the Luzerne Foundation.

The 5th Annual Brian Cashmere Memorial Golf Tournament is June 1 at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Club.

Check in is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. with a shotgun start set for 1:30 p.m.

The cost is $100 per golfer.

The format is four person captain and crew. Dinner and an awards ceremony, including the awarding of the annual Brian Cashmere Scholarship will take place following the golf round. The registration deadline is May 25.

The event will feature prizes and awards, longest drive, closest to the pin, and much more. For further information or for sponsorship information, please call 570-362-3269, or visit the facebook page for the Brian Cashmere Memorial Scholarship

TRACK AND FIELD

Lady Patriots win division title with undefeated mark D’Elieso, O’Brien top seeds in boys District 2 championships

By JACK SMILES jsmiles@psdispatch.com In March, Pittston Area girls track and field coach Joe Struckus knew he had a good team. It turned out to be better than he thought. “Yes, they exceeded all expectations,” he said.

Hazleton and Dallas were seen as the teams to beat and they were the teams to beat for the Lady Patriots.

They defeated Tunkhannock earlier in the season and Dallas, 85-65, on Tuesday to finish the regular season at 7-0 and as WVC Division 1 champions. When 2013 goes on the girls track championship banner in the gymnasium, it will be the first addition in 25 years.

Struckus said the team clinched the meet, the undefeated season and division title, when Emily Waleski, Tiffany Tubioli, and Olivia Lanza swept the 300 hurdles.

There was a lot of joy after the meet but no big celebration. “They were excited and happy, but treated it like any other meet, becasue they have one more to go.”

He’s referring to the District 2 championships on Tuesday at Scranton Memorial Stadium start-

ing at 3 p.m. The WVC title is an accomplishment, but winning a WVC D2 team tile would sweet icing.

Catherine Lombardo and Madison Mimnaugh are tied for the no.

1 seed in the 800 run at 2:20. Mimnaugh is no. 5 in the 1600. Olivia Giambra is no. 1 in the long jump and no. 3 in the triple.

Lombardo, Mimnaugh, Tara Johnson and Samantha Mayers are no. 2 in the 4 x 800 relay and Lombardo, Mimnaugh, Johnson and Allie Barber are no. 2 in the 4 x 400 relay.

The 400 relay team is a top five seed. Emily Waleski and Tiffany Tuboloi are top eight in the 300 hurdles “We’re going to pretty good,” Stuckus said. “The toughest opponents are Abington, Dallas and Hazleton.”

In the win over Dallas Mimnaugh ran the 1600-meter run in 5 minutes and 4 seconds to set a school record and Lombardo lowered the 800 record running 2:20.2 Mimnaugh ran a leg of the 1600 relay team. Pittston Area swept the relays.

Also winning for PA were: Lom-

bardo, Katilynn Kuchta, Tara Johnson and Samantha Mayers in the 3200 relay; Olivia Lanza, 100 hurdles; Mayers, 400; Jamie Chisdock, Barber, Sierra Williams and Taylor Powers, 400 relay; Waleski, 300 hurdles; Lauren Senese, pole vault; Giambra, long jump; Lombardo, 800; Waleski, Mayers, Barber and Mimnaugh, 1600 relay.

Scoring for PA were Tubioli, Abby Sheerer, Siera Williams, Eastin Ashby, Allison Parrent and Celes Owens.

Wyoming Area 105, Meyers 43 Samantha Acacio won the triple jump for the Warriors. Haley Stackhouse won the 100 hurdles and long jump, as the Lady Warriors won their final meet to finish 3-4.

Also winning for WA were: Audrey Hiedacavage, Marcyssa Brown, Malloy, Emily Shemanski, Katelyn Kraynak, Gabrielle Alberigi and Danielle Stillarty, Alexa Malloy, Danielle Bulger and Maya Custer, 1600 relay.

Scoring for WA were Maddy Ambruso, Carrie Poziac, Val Bott, Melissa Kazmerick and McKenzie Bilbow.

For the District championships Haley Stackhouse is seeded no. 1 in the high jump and no. 2 in the 100 hurdles and long jump. Emily Shemanski is top 10 in the 300 hurdles.

Marcyssa Brown, who is tied for the fourth seed in the high jump, could be a sleeper in the triple jump.

BOYS Pittston Area 75, Dallas 75 Jayson Crawford (high jump, long jump) and Ronnie D’Eliseo (110 hurdles, 300 hurdle) finished first in two events for the Patriots in the tie with the Mountaineers. It was the second tie for the Patriots this season. They finished 1-4-2.

Also winning for PA were Mike Harth, Austin Naples and Naples, D’Eliseo, Joshua John, and Harth, 1660 relay.

For The District 2 championships D’Eliseo is no. 1 in both hurdle events, by a full second in the 110s at 14.5. In the 300s he is seeded at 38.40. He’s the only hurdler in the field below 40.00. The meet record is 38.25.

Wyoming Area 76, Meyers 74

Christine Briggs eyes the bar in the pole vault for Pittston Area.

The Warriors used sweeps in the 3200 run and javelin to edge the Mohawks by two points. Zachery LaNunziata took first in the triple jump and long jump for Wyoming Area. Michael Lumley earned first with a pole vault of 9 feet. The Warriors finished 6-1, one point behind Northwest 7-0. Northwest beat WA back in week one. No excuses offered but the Warriors were weakened by injuries and suspensions that week.

Also winning for WA were: Condry, 100 hurdles, O’Brien, 100; Vasquez, 1600; Lumley, pole valut; Burton, discus; Filipak, 3200; Trent Grove, javelin.

Grove came over from the baseball team to throw the jav because O’Brien has an injured shoulder and Grove won it, throwing a top 10 distance for districts.

O’Brien is seeded no. 1 in the 100 at 10.8 and in the javelin. He’s no.

2 in the 200. He’s been resting the shoulder and is expected to give it a throw on Tuesday.

Burton is 7th in the discus and Schmitz is seventh in the long jump.

The 4 x 100 teams from both WA and PA are in the top eight.

Adults who are managers and coaches in Little League or other types of youth baseball often talk about how few boys play baseball compared with the past.

Well, if here’s a look deep into the past, back 100 years, and it’s not going to make the coaches feel any better about the shortage of players.

In 1913 a Greater Pittston area Sunday School League was formed. The Wyoming Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches, the same three in West Pittston plus and the Congregational; the Pittston First Baptist, First Presbyterian, M.E. Methodist, Congregational, Welsh Baptist and Melanie Chapel; Hughestown St. Peter’s Lutheran and the Avoca Primitive Methodist and Langcliffe Presbyterian entered teams in the league.

That’s 16 Sunday schools.

They formed 31 teams for players 12 and up in two age divisions, 16 and under and over 16. The 16 Sunday schools formed 31 teams with a total of 675 players, an average of 21 per team.

They 30-plus game schedules.

They didn’t have smartphones in 1913. Heck, they didn’t even have TV and radio.

Some homes didn’t even have electricity. But kids played tons of baseball.

Local players hot in college ball

JACK SMILES home runs, 34 doubles, 78 RBI, 108 runs scored, and 24-of-29 steal attempts.

His best game might have been against Manhattanville on April 14 when he had a triple and home run, four RBI and two runs.

Another player with local ties excelling at a local college is Corey Gorman. Gorman, a left handed pitcher from Laflin and Coughlin high school, had an landmark season for Scranton University. He was named the Landmark Conference Pitcher of the Year.

Gorman is the first Scranton pitcher to be selected Landmark pitcher of the year in the six-year history of the conference.

His 3-4 record doesn’t tell the story but his 78 strikeouts and 22 walks in 63 1/3 innings does. He’ ranked ninth nationally in NCAA D-III this season in strikeouts per nine innings at 11.08.

In his career he struck out 227 in 194 1/3 innings, a rate of 10.5 per nine innings. His fastball is consistently in the 90s.

In five of his 10 starts this season he had a loss or no-decision where he pitched six or more innings allowing three or fewer runs.

In his career he started 34 games and won 15 with seven complete games. He was the Landmark Conference Pitcher of the Week twice and made the Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll in 2012.

He is the son of Joe and Terri Gorman of Laflin, formerly from Port Griffith.

YMCA Stride event set May 26 The Second Annual Susquehanna Stride 5K and Half Marathon, hosted by the Greater Pittston YMCA, will take place at 8 a.m. on Sunday, May 26 with runners from Northeastern Pennsylvania and other states making their way through the heart of Pittston and surrounding towns.

The Susquehanna Stride is the only one of its kind in the area, offering a 5K and Half Marathon.

Runners will be challenged by taking on the hills of Pittston while taking in the beauty of the Susquehanna River as they run right along it.

“We wanted to offer more than just a 5K but nothing compared to the Steamtown Marathon,” said Craig Lukatch, CEO of the Greater Pittston YMCA. “We are very excited for the Stride. We have about 100 runners so far from all over the area and the east coast.”

The 5K starts outside of the Greater Pittston YMCA, moving

into Hughestown, coming back into Pittston and finishing at the Greater Pittston YMCA. The Half Marathon starts with the 5K, then continuing to move into Jenkins Township, coming back into Pittston and ending at the Y. “We have been working with all the cities in making sure everyone is aware that we will have runners on the roads. We are asking all drivers to be very cautious when driving through Pittston, Hughestown and Jenkins Township on the morning of the Stride.

If you see runners please slow down and try to move over if you can,” said Lukatch.

Volunteers are greatly needed to make sure this event is a great success.

“We are offering all of our volunteers great incentives to say thank you for helping us out. Every volunteer will receive a custom Stride T-shirt, a one-month pass to the Y and a $25 gift certifi-

cate to the Y,” said Lukatch.

Pre-registration for the Stride is any day before the race.

The 5K is $35, Half Marathon is $50.

Registration for the race will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 25 at the Y. Runners are asked to arrive at the Y between 6 am to 7:30 a.m. on race day. They can pick up a registration form at the Y or sign up online at www.greaterpittstonymca.org.

To volunteer you can sign up online or contact Robert Duliba, Mission and Membership Development Director, at rduliba@ greaterpittstonymca.org or by caslloing 655-2255 ext.104.

Allied Services is a major sponsor of the race for the past two years. Their support aids in pulling of the Susquehanna Stride along with all of the other sponsors. Sponsorships are still available. Call the YMCA for more information.

The Patience of Edgar West Pittston native tells story of coal carving great-grandfather

By JACK SMILES | jsmiles@psdispatch.com

I

n her book “Created To Be Free: A Historical Novel About One American Family,” West Pittston native Dr. Juanita Patience Moss tells the real story of her great-grandfather Crowder Pacien.

She calls the book a novel because Moss can only surmise what Pacien’s life was like before 1864 when the 18-year-old slave walked away from a sweet potato plantation in North Carolina and joined an all-white Union Army regiment of the 103rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and what his

experience was like in the 14 months he served.

What is known is sometime after his discharge at Harrisburg in June, 1865, Patien’s name was changed to Crowder Patience. He worked as a teamster in Mechanicsburg when he delivered horses to West Pittston and decided to stay and he became the grandfather of Harold and Charles Edgar Patience, anthracite coal souvenir crafters and sculptors from West Pittston.

The fourth and sixth sons of Harry

Patience, the son of Crowder Pacien, C. Edgar, or Edgar, and Harold were born in West Pittston in 1906 and 1912. Dr. Juanita Patience Moss is Edgar’s daughter.

Harry had a coal souvenir business — evolved from a coal-carving hobby he picked up as a breaker boy — in a shop behind his home at 34 Washington St., where he made highlypolished hearts, crosses and charms.

All six of his boys worked for him, but See PATIENCE, Page 2B

Above, Juanita Patience Moss can see her reflection in the high polished top of the coal monolith her father worked on for a Smithsonian exhibit that never happened. She found it in storage in Maryland in 2004. At left, Charles Edgar Patience works on a bust of George Washington carved from coal.

PEEKING INTO THE PAST With Judy Minsavage

Mine blasting under Main St. issue in 1947 Question: In a 1947 survey, it was revealed that Pittston had 114 of these. What were they?

1947 – 66 YEARS AGO Pittston residents formed a Property Owner’s Association, born of the concern over heavy mine blasts taking place under South Main Street. The association planned to form a committee to attend school board and council meetings in the interest of taxpayers. Merchants supported the idea as Pittston was cited as the only community in the Greater Pittston area that did not have an association to advocate for residents.

After months of being closed for renovations, the Comerford Company reopened the Pastime Theatre in Duryea in May 1947. Improvements included new restrooms, lighting and facade.

The theatre opening was highlighted by the showing of the “Al Jolson Story.”

The film was a tremendous financial success and won Academy Awards for Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture and Best Sound/Recording and was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Best Cinematography, Color and Best Film Editing Members of Dupont 210 Sportsmen’s Club, Troop 361 Boy Scouts of American and a group of high school students planted 1,000 trees at Smith’s Pond.

Named after Harrison Smith, chairman of the Sportsmen’s Club Camp of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the pond was a favorite of local fisherman.

George Pearage, local camp chairman, planned to use the area to instruct youngsters on forest conservation and protection of wild game.

1957 – 56 Years Ago Train traffic on the DL &W Railroad was held up for more than five hours after a massive tractor trailer plunged over an embankment on South Main Street in Duryea. The truck sideswiped the wall of a railroad overpass, careened through an iron guardrail and plunged 20 feet over a concrete embankment, wedging itself against railroad tracks.

While investigating the accident, Duryea Police Sgt. Joseph Wycallis proclaimed the two occupants who survived the crash as fortunate for. if the truck had been carrying cargo, the weight would have possibly crushed the cab. The impact of the truck striking the railroad bed moved tracks five inches out of line.

Army Pvt. Sam Giamber, of Pittston, participated in Exercise Sledge Hammer with the 1st Armored Division in Louisiana. The maneuver was designed to test the combat readiness of the newly-formed Pentomic Division. In the late 1950s, the Army reorganized each infantry division into five battle groups in preparation for tactical nuclear war in Europe. These groups were large battalions containing five rifle companies, a combat support company, appropriate field artillery and service support. The battle groups were self-sustaining. The division structure was abandoned in the early 1960s when the Army adopted for all divisions the combat command organization of the armored division.

1967 – 46 YEARS AGO Demolition workers razing the former home of the Greater Pittston Masonic Temple on Water Street thought they discovered a treasure when they found a locked copper box among the debris. Upon prying open the container, the men found copies of the Valley Lodge Magazine, a 1900 Jubilee edition of the Pittston Gazette and a photo and story of the building being razed.

In 1919, the Masonic Building Association purchased the former Music Hall building on the Water Street site. During the remodeling, they had placed the box into the cornerstone.

Detato’s Supermarket planned the construction of a new store at the corner of North Main and New Streets, a block away from its existing site. A 30,000 square foot brick building was designed with 17,500 square feet of See PEEKING, Page 2B

the long run the business couldn’t feed all their families so all but Edgar and Harold and their older brother Kenneth left the area.

After Harry died at age 48 in 1926 and Harold and Edgar took over business at the West Pittston homestead, Kenneth started a shop of his own in Harding where he carved part-time and was a personal assistant to coal baron legend John Kehoe. Though Edgar and Harold continued to make hearts and charms, they grew the businesses by expanding the line of usable its such as desk nameplates, ashtrays, ink pen holders, lamp stands, letter openers, clock cases and pin-cushion holders which they sold wholesale to shops like Helen’s Gift Shop and Fredrick Job’s in Wilkes-Barre.

As a child in the 1940s, Juanita washed and dried the creations for a nickel apiece and made the satin “pumpkins” for the pin cushion holders for a dime apiece.

In 1939, Edgar and Harold carved a 60-pound to scale sculpture of the the New York World’s Fair’s “Trylon and Perisphere.”

old, too, if he hadn’t lost part of his right hand fighting with the U.S. Army at Anzio Beach Head, Italy in World War II. “Perhaps,” Moss writes in her book ‘Anthracite Coal Art by Edgar Patience,’ the brothers may have continued to work together had fate not intervened.”

As things were in 1951, while Harry carried on the souvenir business in West Pittston, Edgar, divorced from Moss’s mother and married to Alice Marie Patterson, moved to WilkesBarre. Edgar was in his 40s by then and decided to pursue his dream of making it as an artist in coal.

With his new wife, a manager at Blue Cross, supporting him, a five-year experiment turned into a 20-year career.

There were many highlights. Under commission, he carved a bulldog for the Mack truck corporate offices and the official seal for Barbados when the country became independent of the United Kingdom in 1966.

He had his art presented to U. S. presidents by Dan Flood. A bust of John F. Kenney he worked on for nine months was displayed at Expo ‘67 in Montreal, Canada where he was one of five American folk artists invited and where he met the Canadian Prime Minister. In 1969, Jet magazine published a photo of First Lady Pat Nixon chatting with Edgar at his booth while holding a piece of his art at a Department of Agri-

culture exhibit in Washington.

President Lyndon Johnson’s wife, Lady Bird Johnson, had a clock and bookends in the White House. A letter the First Lady wrote to Edgar thanking him is reproduced in “Anthracite Coal Art by Edgar Patience.”

In 1970, at a 25th anniversary celebration of the liberation of Holland from the Nazis in WWII, veterans of the 101st Airborne presented Queen Juliana with an Edgar Patience jeweled clock and an 18-inch string of anthracite “pearls.”

He was profiled in Ebony magazine where it was written, “He made a name

for himself as one of this nation’s most unusual sculptors— creating masterpieces of art from penny-a-pound hard coal.”

Though Edgar exhibited all over North America and once exhibited abstracts at the Joseph Grippi Gallery in New York City, he never forgot his roots. He was a regular at the Fine Arts Fiesta. He made a 4,400 pound altar from a single piece of anthracite for the King’s College chapel and an altar of anthracite bricks for St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Hanover Township.

In 1961, coal operator Louis Pagnotti pulled a three-and-one half ton piece of

voters can vote for all seats up for election. Depending on the system, all candidates may run against one another, with the highest vote getters winning election, or candidates may run for individual, designated seats.”

1977 – 36 YEARS AGO Mockingbird bowling team members Lucy Orkwis, Angie Walker, Jean Morreale, Fran Pisano, Doris Moughan and Marion Perks were honored as champs of the Lady Birds Bowling League 76-77 season.

In 1974, the West Pittston Little League Girls Softball Organization, the first of its kind in Northeastern Pennsylvania, was organized. That season, the

girls of Division I won the district championship and went on to compete in the first state tournament held in Downingtown, taking the runner-up spot. In 1977, the organization was starting its fourth year with elected officers Richard Belmont, Cathy Petruncio, Jane Firestine, Jerry LaMarc, Pat Evans, Rocky Redmond and Jim Melberger.

Mike Satkowski, of Dupont, was selected Outstanding Science Student of Luzerne County. With interests in chemistry, biochemistry and immunology, he planned to attend Wilkes College.

In addition, he also received certificates of merit from Luzerne County Society of Engineers, NEDT and PHEAA Schol-

arship Program.

Answer: Pittston merchants felt there was little reason for anyone to shop outside of the Pittston city proper as a survey revealed there were 114 specialty shops in Pittston, as well as a number of grocery stores. It was noted in the May 11, 1947 issue of the Sunday Dispatch, “From one end of Pittston to the other, it is possible to purchase anything. And if you get thirsty, there are 12 modern soda fountains, cocktail lounges and a goodly number of respectable taverns.”

anthracite from the Baltimore vein near the Ashley Bypass to provide a unique coal exhibit for an Arts and Manufacturers Hall planned by the Smithsonian Institute in Washington.

At Pagnotti’s Sullivan Trail Shops on Exeter Avenue in West Pittston, Edgar “dressed’” the monolith for the Smithsonian. He sanded and buffed it, but preserved the stippled effect on its sides, then hand-polished the top to a mirror-like finish.

The Arts and Manufacturers hall fell through and the monolith, despite its enormity, disappeared.

Juanita Patience Moss found it in 2004 in the Smithsonian’s Suitland Storage Facility in Maryland where she had to make an appointment to see it.

Charles Edgar Patience died in 1972 of pneumonia complicated by coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, or black lung, just days after he exhibited and was interviewed on TV in Pittsburgh.

Harold died in 1976. Edgar’s wife, Alice Patterson, died in 2001.

Today, known examples of Edgar’s art are in family and private collections and at the Anthracite Heritage Museum at McDade Park, Scranton.

In 2011, Moss, a retired teacher and author who lives in Virginia, was awarded an honorary degree by King’s College.

“It really belongs to my father,” she said, “but I wear the title with pride and thanksgiving.”

Maybe she “spared the rod and spoiled the child.”

Or maybe her disposition’s not so mild She’s Good Angel and General all mixed up in one She scolds and she kisses for the bad things you’ve done.

She’s a streamlined young modern or lavender and lace She’s your Mom So remember her Whatever the case.

had to successfully create a monthly budget and afterwards make the needed purchases.

Standing is Franceen Carabetta, an instructor at Work of Art Learning Center.

Little Sarah Bonomo said her mother’s favorite food is “shrimp and apples.” So that’s what Jessica Bonomo was served at the Work of Art Learning Center preschool’s Mother’s Day celebration on Thursday at St. Anthony’s Center.

The 19 Learning Center students, who are from 2 /12 to 5 years old, partied with their mothers and grandmothers at the center, where the moms were served what their children said were their mom’s favorite foods.

Moms ate mac ‘n’ cheese, spaghetti, pizza and cereal.

The moms and grandmoms also got gifts made by the students - gifts like painted flower pots with mom’s picture in it, hand prints of their kids and place mats.

Students filled out questionnaires about their moms and were asked how old their moms were. One student said she is “60.” She’s really 30.

Another said mom is “old.”

Pressed for a number the student wouldn’t budge, insisting his mom is “just old.”
