Sox hater. But I am a baseball fan. And no baseball fan would pass up an opportunity to see Fenway Park, which noted its 100th anniversary Friday (hence, this column), and its famed Green Monster. What’s the Green Monster? If you don’t know, I feel sorry for you. The Green Monster is the nickname for the left field wall at Fenway, where the Red Sox play their home games. It is probably the most famous physical characteristic of any stadium in any sport. It’s painted green, duh, and it’s really high – 37 feet, 2 inches, any Red Sox fan will tell you – and that’s where the “monster” comes from. If I were the type of person to have one of those “bucket lists” – the things you must do before you kick the bucket – the Green Monster surely would have been on it. I don’t keep lists of stuff like that, although, I was contemplating one day that I should make a “reverse bucket list.”

That would be all the things I hope I never do. I was riding on an airplane at the time and thinking “I hope I never actually have to use my seat cushion as a floatation device.” But back to The Monster. The Red Sox were scheduled to play the Seattle Mariners at noon on Saturday, May 18, and as we checked in at the hotel in the village of Brookline, I had two questions for the desk clerk. First, I asked him if there were shuttles from the hotel to the hospital. “My wife has to be there first thing in the morning,” I said. He told us they began running at 6 a.m. Second, I told him I was going to the Red Sox game tomorrow and wanted to know if I could walk there from the hotel. Sure, he said, I could probably do it in 20 minutes. As we headed to the elevators, Mary Kay said, “I hope you realize you are that guy’s hero.” “Whaddya mean,” I asked.

“Well,” she said. “You didn’t tell him I was going to a seminar. You just said I had to get to the hospital. So, tomorrow he’s going to be telling all his buddies: ‘This guy checked in last night and he’s just going to stick his wife on a shuttle to the hospital while he goes to the ball game.’” Hero to him, maybe, but I’m guessing Mary Kay was thinking “cad.” And if indeed a cad I was, the next morning it seemed I was being punished. We awoke to pouring rain. Mary Kay jumped on the early shuttle and by mid-morning I decided that if I couldn’t see a game at Fenway, I at least was going to see the stadium, so I got an umbrella from the concierge and set out on foot. I walked all around the outside of the park, got a peak at the Green Monster through a chain-link fence, bought a couple of tee-shirts at a shop across the street, and basically got drenched.

A couple of hours later, with my sneakers tumbling around in a dryer and making one heck of a racket in a laundromat back in Brookline, a guy rushed in and excitedly announced, “The game is back on. They’re starting at 2.” So back I went to Fenway, damp sneakers and all. I bought a ticket outside the main gate from a proud Red Sox season ticket holder who told me it was my lucky day because his daughter couldn’t make it so he was selling his second seat. He wasn’t kidding. I watched the game from the front row along the railing on the left field line, practically in the shadow of The Monster. Back at the hotel the kid at the desk from the night before recognized me immediately. “How’d your wife make out?” he asked cordially. “I have no idea,” I responded. “But the Sox won.” He gave me a thumb’s up and I knew Mary Kay was right. I was his hero.

It was around this time in 2002, ten years ago, when my wife called one day, said she needed to go to Boston the next month and asked if I wanted to go with her. “I’ll call you right back,” I said and turned to my computer. Mary Kay is an operating room nurse. She needed to attend a seminar on lasers or something like that – I wasn’t quite listening – at either Beth Israel or Brigham & Women’s hospital – I really wasn’t paying attention. Why Mary Kay needed to be in Boston didn’t matter. Well, not to me. What mattered to me, and what would determine if I were going to tag along, required a quick internet search. I needed an answer before I could give her one. The answer turned out to be “yes” … all the way around. The Red Sox were going to be in town. Now, I am not a Red Sox fan nor, unlike Yankees fans, a Red

An enduring legacy of spirituality 92-year-old priest noted for kind deeds, love of poor

Late priest’s uncle is a legendary Calif. figure

Rev. Hugh McGroarty was easy to find – at the Pittston Diner after the 8 a.m. Mass. St. John the Evangelist Parish Community lost a beloved soul in the passing of McGroarty, fondly known McGroarty as Father Hugh. McGroarty, 92, died Monday from complications of cancer at Pall bearers at Rev.

When Jeff McCabe went to California to run in the Honda LA Marathon on April 1, he was given a mission to complete by his friend and would-be traveling companion Father Hugh McGroarty. The Catholic priest, who died Monday at 92, was JS McGROARTY planning to go to LA with McCabe. McGroarty wanted to visit the home of his great-uncle John Steven McGroarty, now a California Historic-Cultural Monument and Arts Center in the Verdugo Hills of the Tujunga section of Los Angeles. But Father McGroarty injured his hip and couldn’t travel. So it fell to McCabe to visit the historic home in his stead and take a photograph. John Steven McGroarty, who died in 1944, is a legendary figure in the history of California where he was a United States Congressman, State Poet Laureate, playwright, author, historian, LA Times columnist and West Coast Magazine editor. His 1912 “Mission Play” about the origins of Christianity in California was staged 3,000 times over a 20-year run, bringing in 2 million paid admissions. One of his books “California, Its History and Romance” about the discovery, colonization and early development of California went through 10 editions in 13 years.

Martha rings Duryea market for some rings By JOE HEALEY

jhealey@psdispatch.com

She was running down Main Street, chasing the UPS deliveryman. A box of kielbasi packed in ice needed to be shipped. Fast. Brenda Sepelyak, co-owner of Komensky’s Market, was trying to get several rings of her store’s award-winning smoked and fresh rings to New York City by 10 a.m. Destination: The Martha Stewart Show. It started with a call from the show’s producers, Sepelyak said, the day before the show was taped. “The place where Martha

normally got her kielbasa in New York City closed and she asked her audience if they knew of any good places,” Sepelyak said. “Somebody mentioned us.” The show’s producers asked if Sepelyak could get them several rings for the next morning’s show. That’s when Sepelyak started to sweat. The UPS driver had already come and gone. “I ran down the street trying to catch him,” she said. “Thank God I found him and we arranged to make the delivery by 8 a.m. the next morning.” Komensky’s was featured in the first segment of Stewart’s show, but because Easter is one

of the busiest times at the market, those working at the store couldn’t even watch the show. “We were so busy, we had to TiVo the show,” Sepelyak said, noting she and her husband, Robert Sepelyak, have very little time to watch TV during Easter week. “She gave us a nice plug,” she said of Stewart. Sepelyak said the meat was prepared and served to Stewart’s staff as part of an Easter banquet. Komensky’s Market is at 412 Main St. in Duryea. The business ships its product locally and around the world. “It’s such an honor,” Sepelyak said. “We love Martha. We think we found a new customer.”

Maria Livrone displays some of her glass work at Arts SEEN on Main Street in Pittston on Tuesday. Livrone is the new director and the facility has plans to start art workshops and classes. JOE HEALEY/THE SUNDAY DISPATCH

Thinking about trying your hand at pottery? Is silk screen your dream? Want to have a brush with oil painting? Arts SEEN Gallery on South Main Street is being remodeled to accommodate numerous art workshops, according to the shop’s new directors, Maria Livrone and Bill Zack of Visions in Art Glass and Metal. Once complete, the new classroom will host workshops for virtually all mediums of art, including pottery, glass, silkscreening, photography, oil, acrylic, fiber, origami and jewelry. Livrone said the classes should begin around the end of May and will be taught by various local artists. “Downtown Pittston is in the middle of a rebirth and we’re glad we’re part of it,” Livrone said. The public, for-profit gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sat-

urdays; and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. It features art from more than 30 local artists. Christine Altmann, an artist in residence, rents an 8-foot by 8-foot space in the gallery and specializes in seasonal, holiday art with a specialty on Halloween. The gallery owners plan to host an Art on Main exhibition, similar to what is going on in numerous local cities, on the second Friday of every month. The first one will be from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on May 11. “We’re inviting local artists to show off their work,” Livrone said. “There is so much artistic talent in this area, it’s unbelievable.” Other artists on display include Pittston native Bill Brandenburg, Estelle Campenni of West Pittston and Sherri Prokopchak, of Kingston. Others include Kevin McGroarty, John Levandoski, Marylin Querci and Leandra Hetro. Livrone encourages residents to visit the gallery’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ artsseengallerypittston

whom he could work. “I saw Father Hugh’s name on the list and I immediately picked him,” Bendik said. “I jumped at the chance to work with him.” Janet Delaney, a Pittston resident and lifelong parishioner of St. John’s, said McGroarty was the “best friend” of the 1520 faithful who attend the daily 8 a.m. Mass. “He knew everyone’s name,” Delaney said. “If he didn’t know your name, that was his thing, he’d say, ‘What’s your name?” Delaney spoke of McGroarty’s great humor.

Uncle Continued from Page 3

John Steven McGroarty was born in 1862 in Foster Township, near Wilkes-Barre. His father, Hugh McGroarty, the late priest’s namesake, was a grandnephew of Richard Montgomery, one of George Washington’s generals. John Steven graduated from the Harry Hillman Academy in Wilkes-Barre. In the 1890s, before he moved to California, he was Managing Editor of the Wilkes-Barre Evening Leader in his early 20s and Luzerne County Treasurer at the age of 27. But it was in California that John Steven left his mark. When he died, he was eulogized on the floor of the United States House of Representatives by Congressman Jerry Voorhis who said, “No man has caught the spirit of California from the beginning of the Spanish padres down to the present time and gathered it together into one continuous thread such as this great man has done.” Such was John Steven’s stature that he was mentioned in President John F. Kennedy’s 1956 Pu-

“He told jokes. He told stories. He sang songs. He read poetry. He did magic,” she said. “He was a well-rounded priest. He was the epitome of priesthood.” “It’s a tremendous loss to the church,” she said. “But we were very lucky to have had him that long. McGroarty was born in Plains Township on Dec. 30, 1919. He was educated in Plains schools, The University of Scranton and at Mount Saint Mary’s College and Seminary in Emmitsburg, Md. He was ordained to the priesthood on December 22, 1945, in St. Peter’s Cathedral, Scranton, by the Rev. William J. Hafey, D.D., late Bishop of Scranton. He served in various capacities in numerous churches throughout the diocese. Area attorney Joe Terrana of Yatesville, a close friend, said McGroarty often used a

litzer Prize-winning book, “Profiles in Courage.” “All of us,” Kennedy wrote, “occasionally have the urge to follow the example of Congressman McGroarty of California, who wrote a constituent in 1934: ‘One of the countless drawbacks of being in Congress is that I am compelled to receive impertinent letters from a jackass like you in which you say I promised to have the Sierra Madre Mountains reforested and I have been in Congress two months and haven’t done it. Will you please take two running jumps and go to hell?’” John Steven’s historic California house was the last of four he and his wife Ida Caroline Lubrecht, his Pennsylvania childhood sweetheart, built in the Verdugo Hills. It was there that he wrote many of his 40 years’ worth of daily LA Times columns called “From the Green Verdugo Hills.” And it was there that Jeff McCabe found himself last month on the mission for Father McGroarty. McCabe came back not only with a photograph of the home, but also one of John Steven’s books, given to him by the staff at the historic home.

saying from a Robert Browning poem “God is in his heaven. All’s right with the world.” “He said it in good times and in bad,” Terrana said. “It means everything is the way God wants it to be. When times are good, you have to appreciate it. When times are bad, you have to know God has a reason for what’s going on” “That summed him up perfectly,” Terrana added. McGroarty’s faith remained strong as he moved into hospice care, preparing for the end of his life, Terrana said. “In the gentlest, calmest voice, he said, ‘I’ve never felt the presence of the Lord stronger,’” Terrana said. “He was at peace with what was going on. He took the cross that he bore in so much stride.” The Most Reverend Joseph C. Bambera,

“It was almost his complete works,” McCabe said of the book. “I left it with him (Father McGroarty) at the nursing home. He was very proud of his uncle.” McCabe got to know Father McGroarty as a lay helper at St. John’s. Two years ago, McCabe, though neither old nor retired, became a member Father McGroarty’s Pittston Diner Romeo’s club (Retired Old Men Eating Out). “I remember his exact words to me,” McCabe said. “’Are you too proud to join the men for breakfast?’ We got together and

D.D., J.C.L., Bishop of Scranton, who presided over McGroarty’s funeral Mass on Friday morning, mourned the loss of a “remarkable priest.” “I’ve had the privilege of knowing Father McGroarty for almost 30 years. Whether it was serving as a priest in my home parish years ago or, more recently, in his position as Senior Priest in St. John the Evangelist Parish, his wit, his energy and especially his faith and love for the priesthood and the Church were palpable,” Bambera said. “Countless numbers of lives are richer today for having been touched by the priestly ministry of this remarkable man who served the Lord for so many years.” “We miss him terribly,” Bendik said. “It’s such a loss.” McGroarty’s obituary appears on Page 53

talked about life. I became his friend. We had a very deep relationship.” The night before he died, John Steven McGroarty answered a query about his health with his last poem, one which now befits his late grand-nephew Father Hugh McGroarty: When I have had my little day, My chance at toil, my fling at play, And in the starry silence fall With broken staff against the wall, May someone pass, God

Hardware store back in the family as an art gallery By Jack Smiles

jsmiles@psdispatch.com

ow did an art major from California wind up opening an art gallery in an old hardware store on the Avenue in Wyoming? Three reasons: The space is ideal for what he wants to do, he has historical family ties to the store and he didn’t win the lottery. Winning the lottery, Jamie Smith said, is what would have had to happen for him to afford a gallery in New York City where he and his wife Jenni, also a California native, have lived for the last five years. Instead, they came here and bought the building at 312 Wyoming Ave. in Wyoming where Jamie’s great-grandfather

There is also a website at http://www.meetingoftheartwaters.com/artists which has information about each artist.The exhibit is divided into five categories – animals, landscapes, people, hometowns, and travel.

T.W. Shoemaker operated a plumbing and hardware business from the early 1900s until his death in the 1940s. As a homage to his greatgrandfather, he and Jenni call the business the T.W. Shoemaker Art Gallery. The gallery is opening Saturday, April 28, with a photography exhibit of 35 images by seven international photographers, dubbed “A Meeting of the Art Waters.” The exhibition is free and open to the public. A reception from 4 to 8 p.m. on Saturday will kick things off and the exhibit will run through June 30. The exhibit will benefit the North Branch Land Trust and Blue Chip Farms Animal Refuge with five percent of the proceeds from print sales going to each charity. As Smith explained it in an email: “The artists broadly interpreted each category based on their own point of view and life experience. The exhibition is therefore comprised of horizontal and vertical formats, close up and expansive perspectives, and color and black and white images from around the world.” After living in California and

Another office takes downtown occupancy Contractor moves into Dime Bank Building By Jack Smiles

Summer reading

The summer reading program is in the planning stages. This year’s theme is “Dream Big, Read.” Programs will be offered for readers ages 18 months through adult with age-related programs and activities. Programs will include reading, science, crafts, family movie nights, prizes and more. The program will run June 18 to August 13. Sign ups will be held the week of June 11.

jsmiles@psdispatch.com Luddy Fleming’s new suite in the old Dime Bank Building is, well, sweet. Fleming said moving the office of his contracting business from his home to the iconic Main Street Building owned by Reilly and Associates befits the newlook downtown and the restoration of the Dime Bank. “I was born and raised here,” he said. “I feel pretty good about opening in downtown Pittston now with the improvements in

the city. The main drag looks terrific.” He needed a new office because of the growth of his business. “I’m not just the guy with the ladder and a truck anymore. I was always a carpenter, but now I’m expanding to general and electric contracting. We’re incorporated. We’re getting bigger and it’s working out well. We’re supporting 11 families with jobs.” Fleming is hosting an open house, ribbon cutting and luncheon from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

on Friday, April 27. He expects Mayor Klush and city council, former Mayor Mike Lombardo and the Joyces to attend. His suite, no. 100, is the first office on the first floor of the building, which was built in the 1920s. It was bought and restored by Reilly and Associates, an engineering firm, five years ago. Much of the original architectural integrity was kept intact, including the panoramic windows.

FACTS OF LAW

The N.C. Court of Appeals has held that the first marriage of a woman was legal, even though it was performed by a “minister” who was neither an imam nor a licensed minister. More specifically the court held that while the first marriage was voidable under North Carolina law no legal steps had ever been taken to do so and thus the original Islamic ceremony was upheld as a legal marriage. So because the “wife” was already married at the time she married the plaintiff, the court said their marriage of 12 years and three children was null and void, on the grounds of bigamy. *** NewJerseyhasbecomethefirststatetorequirejuveniles to wear helmets while skiing or snowboarding. *** A unanimous decision by the Georgia Supreme that struck down a law banning people from publicly advertising to help with assisted suicide, puts the elderly and people with disabilities in “grave danger” said a national pro-life leader. The 1994 state law did not prohibit assisted suicides, but made it a felony for those who promote that they could assist with a suicide. In its decision, the court said the law violated free speech rights. *** A new law in New York authorizes establishment of benefit corporations with a dual focus on social responsibility and profits. While officers and directors of existing companies are required to pursue profits on behalf of shareholders, the new model envisions other fiduciary responsibilities meant to have a positive impact on society and the environment.

OUR OPINION Mature workers program works Representatives of the Luzerne/ Wyoming Counties Area Agency on Aging were in Pittston this week. The agency director presented a plaque to the library in recognition of its participation in the Mature Worker Program. The library was a training center for the program and after the training hired two of the trainees. The Pittston YMCA was also a training center and also hired workers. Wyoming Borough was also a training center. In a day where so many workers are retiring at relatively young ages, it is gratifying to see that older workers who want and need to work beyond normal retirement ages are being helped by the Area Agency on Aging and local organizations.

Holden - Cartwright race provides drama Tuesday is Election Day. Both Mike Carroll in the 118th District and Phyllis Mundy in the 120th District of the General Assembly are unopposed on the Democratic side. Mundy will have opposition in November. Aaron D. Kaufer of Kingston is unopposed for the Republican 120th nomination. A month ago it was looking like Pennsylvania might have a say in the Republican presidential nomination race, but now that’s not the case. There are long lists of convention delegates on both ballots, but those positions don’t have any local impact. So there’s not much drama associated with Tuesday’s outcomes, with one notable exception – the Tim Holden versus Matt Cartwright race for the Democratic nomination in the redrawn 17th District in the US House of Representatives. This is new territory for Pittston as for over 20 years the city was in the 11th District and represented by Paul Kanjorski and then Lou Barletta. Oddly, Holden is in the position of running as an incumbent here among voters who didn’t elect him two years ago. As the only contested race of local impact the Holden-Cartwright race has gotten as lot of attention. And we hope the race will drive turnout. It will be interesting to learn how Pittston and Scranton will go. So, Democrats, make it interesting by getting out Tuesday and voting for one of these men.

Question In 1952, a large project of national importance was rumored to be slated for the Greater Pittston Area. What was it?

Peeking into the past With Judy Minsavage

1952 – 60 Years Ago A light voter turnout for the 1952 primary election was expected in Greater Pittston. With over 27,000 registered voters but few major battles, local political leaders felt only 40% of those registered would vote. Races between Tony Dougherty and Congressman Dan Flood for the Democratic nomination for Congress; Thomas Meade and Jack Gaughan opposing Bill Dombroski for the GOP representative nomination; James Patterson’s fight for a delegate post to the National Democratic Convention and Edward Joseph’s opposing Genevieve Blatt for the Democratic nomination of State Auditor would bring most voters to the poles. The 1952 presidential primary pitted war hero, Republican Dwight D Eisenhower against Democrat Adlai Stevenson. In The Sunday Dispatch Letters to the Editor section, one local resident complained about the decision to change the Miss Greater Pittston beauty pageant title to Miss Anthracite. The writer opined that since the people of Pittston did most of the work regarding the sponsorship and arrangements, the city should benefit from the publicity surrounding the event. In another letter, Billy Coles of Avoca, serving with the U.S. Army in Germany wrote: “I would like to thank all of the people in Avoca for sending me such nice Easter cards. I am in Germany with the 43rd Division and glad people back home are thinking of us overseas.” In May 1952, the East German government closed the border between East and West Germany, leading to the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961.

1972 – 40 Years Ago Pittston Hospital held a volunteer day to honor more than 50 women who gave their time and talents to serve the hospital and its patients. Mrs. Edward Dommermuth, president of the hospital auxiliary, thanked volunteers, event chair, co-chairpersons Mrs. George Nagy and Mrs. Joseph Walsh.

1992 – 20 Years Ago News that the Pittston Area School District would receive about $300,000 less in state funding led the district to seek approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to reduce its professional staff and programs. School officials admitted legal problems would most certainly result from teacher layoffs. School district basic education subsidies in fiscal year 1992-93 were frozen at 1991-92 levels under legislation SB6 signed into law as Act 85 on July 9, 1992 according to www.pasenate.com. Lem Phillips, of West Pittston, along with several other local men, celebrated the 59th anniversary of the Civilian Conservation Corp. The Corps, established in 1933, was a public work relief program that operated in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men aged 17-23 from relief families. A part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal, it provided unskilled manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state and local governments. Phillips was paid $30 a month, $25 of which went to his parents to “help put food on the table.” He traveled across the country sleeping in tents and working on government projects. With the increasing threat of war, the CCC proved a successful program as it provided nearly three million disciplined men for the service. Answer It was rumored the Avoca Airport was one of three sites being considered by the Air Force to build a substantial maintenance depot employing 5,000 to 11,000 people. With the Korean Conflict and advent of the Cold War, it was believed by military strategists that Russia could, at some point, be militarily stronger than the United States. The Air Force eventually settled on McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey and Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to establish their new facilities. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me. Author unknown, variation of an excerpt from “The Serenity Prayer” by Reinhold Neibuhr

1962 – 50 Years Ago West Pittston native Lt. Commander Helen M. Rhoades retired after 22 years of service in the U.S. Navy Nursing Corps. After graduating from

West Pittston High School and the Pittston Hospital School of Nursing, Commander Rhoades was assigned to Pearl Harbor Naval Hospital four months after Japan attacked the Naval Base. Her assignments with the nurse corps had taken her to China, Japan, the Panama Canal and Hawaii. Navy hospital corpsman Thomas G. Williams, of Avoca, received a commendation from his commanding officer aboard the American Geographical Survey Ship USS Maury. During an assignment, another member of the crew, after a 25-foot fall, suffered a compound fracture. Corpsman Williams administered life-saving first aid over many hours until his injured shipmate could be transported to a fully-equipped facility. Williams previously had served aboard the minesweeper USS Dash. The United States Navy created and built surveying ships to carry on the work of Matthew Fontaine Maury nicknamed Scientist of the Seas. Eleven ships charted wind currents, water temperatures and underwater obstacles producing maps and charts used today by the Navy and Merchant Marine. The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked, “Will Daylight Saving Time represent any inconvenience to you?” Jan Kolmansberger, Pittston, answered, “It’s more a convenience, with more hours you can get some fresh air or go to the lake.” Peggy Connors, Pittston, added, “The extra hour comes at a time when you can enjoy it.” Barbara Chickeletti, Duryea, stated, “I like to go out on the porch and read a book and get some fresh air.”

Esther Tinsley, hospital administrator, expressed gratitude to the women for their work in the hospitality shop and assisting the medical staff. Mrs. Louis Zurla, directress of nurses, introduced freshmen students Mary Francis Stuccio and Susan Tomashunas, who entertained with guitar and vocal selections. Some of those honored at the event were Loretta Morrow, Mrs. Sidney Friedman, Mrs. Carlton Stauffer, Mrs. Bert Ardoline, Mrs. C.F. Fisher, Mrs. Jack Burns and Mrs. Santo Tabone. According to the 2005 Bureau of Labor and Statistics Survey of main organizations for which volunteer activities were performed, hospital or health organizations accounted for 7.7 % of the total unpaid labor force. A photo from the past appeared in the April 23 issue of the Sunday Dispatch. Bebe Shopp, Miss America of 1948, toured the No. 6 mines as a guest of the local Jaycees in September 1952. Standing alongside the beauty queen in the photo are Stanley Morosky, Tony Costa, Danny Raymond, Sam Cometa, Charles Volpe, Sam Van Luvender and William Sheleski. The newly-formed Greater Pittston Junior Football League installed officers and named coaches for the starting season. Heading the league’s initial season were Larry Bufalino, president; Phil Gristina, vice president Bill Ames, secretary; and Norman Gayz, treasurer. Coaches included George Alaimo, Tony Dalessandro, William Litz and Sam Gubitose. The Duryea Sacred Heart Teeners baseball team opened its season. Jerry Zielinski, B. Nitkowski and Dave Bachkosky, along with catcher Dave Breymeier and outfielder Eddie “Chico” Chicoski, were starters returning from the previous year. The teeners captured the play-offs in 1965 and 1966 and in 1969 the straight season championship. Gene Maciun, owner of Maciun’s Mobil Service Station, donated 20 new uniforms to the team. The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked, “What is the best news you could possibly hear?” Sam Lobrutto, of Pittston, answered, “That somebody had 20 brand new buses to give away.” Mrs. Josephine Alba, of Pittston, said, “I always like to hear good news about my children.” Bill Brogan, of Pittston, added, “That the New York Giants are moving to Dupont.”

Pittston Hospital part of nursing history exhibit T he Center for Nursing History of Northeastern Pennsylvania and the Pauly Friedman Art Gallery at Misericordia University will present the exhibit, “The Impact and History of Nursing Education in Luzerne County 1887-2012.” The multi-media exhibit will be on display May 6 through June 29 at the Friedman Gallery in Sandy and Marlene Insalaco Hall on campus. The public is invited to a free opening reception at the gallery from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 6. Pauly Friedman Art Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Highlights will include a display on the Cadet Nurse Corps and special exhibits that detail the relationship of nursing with the local coal mining industry, nursing practice past and present, and the impact of local nursing on the area’s disaster recovery and the Pittston Hospital School of Nursing (1903-1981), The Center of Nursing History was founded in 2005 at Misericordia University to collect, pre-

serve and make accessible sources which document the history of nursing in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Materials are archived in the Mary Kintz Bevevino Library. The center was made possible through a grant provided by the Pennsylvania Museum Commission in Harrisburg, Pa. The event will include the oldest nursing education programs in the area — The Wilkes-Barre General Hospital School of Nursing, which from 1887-1974 offered a diploma of nursing; and the Misericordia University Department of Nursing, which has offered a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program since 1949. Organizers are still in need of memorabilia and artifacts from the Nanticoke Hospital School of Nursing, White Haven Sanitorium School of Nursing and the nurse’s role in the Agnes flood disaster in 1972. Anyone with materials they feel would be appropriate may call Jessica Reeder, Misericordia University archivist, at 674-6420 or e-mail her at jreeder@misericordia.edu.

The 'impact and History of Nursing Education' exhibit at the Pauly Friedman Art Gallery at Misericordia University will include many photos and pieces of memorabilia, including this photo of the Class of 1919 of Pittston Hospital School of Nursing.

Smith lived here briefly in the late 1990s working as a stringer photographer for The Sunday Dispatch and The Times Leader, a time he remembered fondly. “NEPA, as many locals call it, was a vastly different atmosphere than that of the dot com boom taking place in my home town of Palo Alto, California,” he said. “Photojournalism became a great way for me to explore this new world – its diverse mix of religious festivals, businesses, sports, neighborhoods, local customs, nationalities, cuisines – as well as its unique mix of industrial and rural environments. There is something to be said for slowing down, exiting the information super highway and meandering a winding country road with the top down in a borrowed 1981 MG.” Smith said people who hear his story mistakenly think he is related to the Snyders and inherited the building.

The grand opening of T.W. Shoemaker Art Gallery in Wyoming is Saturday, April 28. DISPATCH PHOTO/JACK SMILES

“In fact, my great grandfather rented the space; he never even owned it.”

Smith’s great-grandfather’s son, John Shoemaker, Smith’s great-uncle, bought the building

in the 1940s and offered a cards and gift section inside the hardware store.

Shoemaker sold the building to the Snyder family in the 1970s and opened a Hallmark store in the Midway Shopping Center. It is believed the building on the Avenue was built by the Pettibone family in the 1880s as a feed store. “We looked at a few places along the Ave,” Smith said, “but, really, the hardware store was the best fit, not just for the family history and nostalgia, but also for the layout. The open layout of the space will work well for future exhibits, photo shoots, lectures, workshops, art classes, events – anything really.” Smith was advised against buying the building, but believes it’s worth the risk. “Many people much smarter than I, who I trust dearly, said I was crazy to buy the building and try to start this business. That’s when I knew I was on the right track,” he said. “I’m really interested in building something that has never been done before. Luckily, I’m also really fortunate enough to have a wife with a sense of humor.”

Carl Orechovsky, research editor of Anthracite Archives, Old Forge, is seeking information about the coal mining industry during the 1950s and ’60s in Old Forge. If you have any information or photos of mine openings, buildings, miners, breakers or stories of life and workings in the mines contact Orechovsky evenings at 702-4217 or info@oldforgecoalmine.com. This will be the last major push to record the missing history of mining in Old Forge during its final days.

If enough information is collected, there will be a public forum in May on “The Last Days of Coal Mining in Old Forge.”

by award and he couldn’t be happier about it. “It is an amazing feeling [to win the award],” said Maloney. “To win anything like that is great.” Pittston Area jumped out on front early in the first inning as Jordan Houseman led off the game with a single. Houseman’s base hit was followed by a bunt and a ground out which advanced him to third. Anthony Schwab then singled him in for the first run in the game. PA would go on to score two more in the first inning giving them an early 3-0 lead. The second inning turned out to be a nightmare for the Patriots. The Warriors led off the inning with back-to-back ground rule doubles by first baseman Bart Chupka, one of three hits on the day for Chupka, and shortstop Jake Granteed giving WA their first run on the day. Pittston Area had a tough half inning in the field in the Warriors second. A pop fly that appeared to be foul got blown back into play by the wind plus some mishandled bunts by PA allowed the Warriors to tie the game at three. “We were out played on every

level. They executed our own game against us,” said PA Head Coach Paul Zaffuto. The Warriors never looked back from there. Another inning of mistakes and misfortunes from PA in the 4th inning allowed the Warriors to climb ahead to 7-3. The sixth inning was where Wyoming Area took care of business, though. They scored six runs to put away the Patriots and take home the Ashby game title. “I am very proud of my team,” said WA head coach Chick Andrewscavage. “Good things will happen if we play our game.” Andy Ashby the former MLB pitcher who sponsors the award said, “The main thing is for the teams to win the game,” “We look for someone who goes there and performs [to present the trophy to]. You wish you can give it to everyone but you can only give it to one.”

Nine-year-old Warrior wrestling with mat success By TOMMY ROMANELLI

Dispatch Intern

Every school seems to have their diamond in the rough when it comes to sports but it seems that the Wyoming Area wrestling team already has a gem on his way. Michael Orleski, 9, is a 5-time Penn League champion, he has 25 awards (14 are for first place), and he owns a 14-2 record with a career high nine pins in the 20112012 season. With all that under his belt, though, Orleski still isn’t done. Orleski just became the 2012 Regional Champion and he will be traveling to Salisbury, Maryland to compete for Nationals on May 4, 5, and 6. “[Michael’s] most recent medal was the Regional one to go to nationals,” said Melanie Orleski, Michael’s mother. “He wrestled in Shamokin Eastern Regionals. There was a bracket of 10. [Michael] wrestled four [kids] and pinned three.” Going to Nationals for any sport is a big deal for anyone, let alone a 9 year old kid, but for Mi-

chael his Regional final match had an interesting twist to it. It was against his friend, Cade Kroptavich. Michael ended up pinning Cade and winning the tournament but there were no hard feelings after the match. After it was over both kids “hugged each other” and Michael gave his friend a pat on the back. Michael started wrestling in 2007 when he was 5 years old. His father, Michael Orleski, and brother Mitchell Higgley, helped get Michael interested in it because they were big into wrestling. “My dad always gets the coach for me if I have a problem and he also helps me with my moves,” said Michael. Two other people that have so far had an influence on Michael’s wrestling are his elementary school coach Brian Meehan and UFC fighter Steve Mytch. Michael has joined a team called “Swagger” where he trains with Mytch to improve and keep his skills sharp. “[Mytch and Meehan] have showed me moves and to stop

certain things. They have built up my confidence and made me stronger,” said Michael. Michael goes to the “Swagger” team every Monday where he practices Free Style and Folk Style wrestling. He learns how to do different moves and how to get out of certain moves while he is there. Michael’s parents also record every match on video and he sometimes goes back to them to see where he went wrong and so he can improve on that. “Michael has progressed a lot through the years,” said Melanie Orleski. “He has learned a lot more moves and as he matures he learns a lot more. His brother also helps him with that.” Anything can happen while Michael is competing for Nationals in two weeks but the one thing that can always be guaranteed when it comes to Michael Orleski, he will always be giving his best effort on the mat.

Nin-year-old Michael Orleski has already collected lots of wrestling hardware

But the Cougars knotted the score at 1-1 with an unearned run in the second, and took a lead with four more unearned runs in the third. Regan threw five innings of five-hit ball, and Talarico allowed two hits in two innings out of the bullpen for the Blue Devils. Old Forge collected only three hits in the game, the other two by

Mid Valley got to Old Forge starter Sam Talarico for four earned runs in the top of the first inning, but it was three unearned runs in the third that allowed the Spartanettes to take an 8-5 victory. The Blue Devils trailed 7-0 in

the bottom of the fifth when Rhyan Barnic smashed her first career home run – a grand slam to dead centerfield which traveled approximately 210 feet – to get Old Forge within 7-4. But Mid Valley held on by scoring an insurance run in the sixth. Talarico scattered nine hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out six.

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 2012

It’s spring. Let’s talk some turkey This is my favorite time of year. Everything is blossoming, animals are looking for mates and the smell of spring is everywhere. I spend a lot of mornings in the woods during the months of April and May and I’m usually up before the alarm clock rings. I thank God for allowing me to witness the sunrise and the rebirth of earth. If you haven’t experienced it for yourself, then you don’t know what you’re missing. Earlier this week, I once again witnessed a great example of life’s simple treasures in person. I watched as the sun rose over the mountain and the birds began to sing. The first bird was a barred owl, then a woodpecker and them a crow. Shortly after this avian chorus, a male turkey gobbled and all was right with the world. My spring turkey scouting mission was a success. I found a turkey to hunt at this location and it was on to another. The idea behind scouting is to hear as many turkeys as you can from as many different locations as possible. This will build your confidence level a bit while hunting those properties during the season. I can officially say that I’m ready to hunt. My shotgun is patterned with a new red dot scope. What I just said - in English - is that I have put a scope on my gun that has shows a red dot inside to indicate I am pointing in the right direction. By patterning, I mean I have shot the gun at a paper target and I know that shotgun pellets are hitting the mark. There is still time to pattern your shotgun

before next Saturday’s opening of the spring gobbler season. My mental checklist is almost complete. I know where there are turkeys and my gun is ready to fire safely at a bird. I have been practicing my turkey calls and my camo clothing is all lined up for the month. I will start out with dark fall-like colors and move into my greener springtime look as plants begin to blossom. I am often asked about the need for camo and the right patterns to wear. I move into the different colors because I am fortunate enough to own them. Camouflage is designed to break up your outline against the wooded background. The color of the camouflage isn’t as important as sitting still when a turkey approaches. An experienced turkey guide once told me that the three most important steps to successfully hunting turkeys are: 1. Don’t move 2. Don’t move 3. And whatever you do, don’t move. Turkeys have incredible

eyesight and can pick up movement very easily. The most important thing to remember about turkey hunting is to hunt safely and use common sense. There are several things you can do to make it an enjoyable and safe adventure. Never stalk a turkey. The chances of getting close enough for a shot are slim, but the chances of becoming involved in an accident are increased. Eliminate the colors red, white and blue from your turkey hunting outfit. Red is the color most hunters count on to differentiate a gobbler’s head from the hen’s blue-colored head. Never move, wave or make turkey sounds to alert another hunter of your position. A quick movement may draw fire. Yell in a loud voice and remain hidden. Select a calling position that provides a background as wide as your shoulders and one that will completely protect you. Always keep your gun pointed in a safe direction and be sure to positive-

ly identify your target. Remember, a legal spring gobbler must have a beard. The key to bringing home a spring turkey is trial and error. Don’t give up. The more time you spend in the woods, the better chance you have of supplying a gobbler for the dinner table. Good luck if you’re heading out and be safe. Remember, it’s time to talk turkey!

Trout fishing

The 2012 trout season is one week old and the reviews so far are mixed. Most anglers found lower than normal water levels in the streams. The trout were there but just not interested in the baits being presented. I’m sure there were many happy anglers but the majority of the people who emailed me were disappointed with their catch. It certainly has a lot to do with the weather. The forecasted rain should put some water in the creeks and increase anglers’

chances of catching a trout or two. I always enjoy trout fishing after a rainstorm. The water level should rise, the color of the water should change and the rainfall should put natural food into the streams. This combination could start a feeding frenzy and put a smile on anglers’ faces. I spoke with a few local bait and tackle shops and they all agree that the fishing has been unusual for this time of year. Most recommend power baits and salmon eggs. It seems like the water level in the creeks was too low for spinners. They were selling a lot of worms and grubs as well. Lake fishermen are doing well on live bait and slow moving spoons. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission stocked Frances Slocum State Park Lake with trout again this past Monday, drawing the attention of many local anglers. The shorelines and boat ramps were busy all week. This lake is expected to be stocked again on Saturday, April 28. If you’re interested in helping or watching the excitement, simply show up at the park office by 11:45 a.m. when the stocking trucks are expected to show up. You can get trout stocking information on the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission homepage at fishandboat.com. Remember to watch Pennsylvania Outdoor Life at 6:30 p.m. on WNEP-TV. We’ll take you on a turkey scouting adventure you don’t want to miss. It will surely gobble up your attention. Have a great day!

Reverend Hugh H. McGroarty, of Saint John the Evangelist Parish, Pittston, died on Monday, April 16, 2012, at Little Flower Manor, Wilkes-Barre. Father McGroarty, son of the late Hugh Francis and Bridget Theresa Hughes McGroarty, was born in Plains Township on December 30, 1919. He received his early education at Sacred Heart, Plains Township, and graduated from High School at Sacred Heart in Plains Township. Father attended the University of Scranton and completed his studies for the priesthood at Mount Saint Mary’s College and Seminary in Emmitsburg, Md. He was ordained to the priesthood on December 22, 1945, in St. Peter’s Cathedral, Scranton, by the Rev. William J. Hafey, D.D., late Bishop of Scranton.

By Brittany Mudlock Many Pittston Area students had the chance to donate blood to the Red Cross on March 27. The Stand Tall Club and its moderator, Mrs. Betty Turco, were in charge of the event. Over 100 students, faculty and staff registered and 70 pints of blood were collected. The majority of students who participated were first-time donors. Three boys gave the double red blood cells, which counted for 12 pints of blood. This is a long process, but well worth it once you’ve helped a good cause. Many of the Stand Tall members helped by serving food and drinks and by escorting donors after they finished giving blood. The Stand Tall Club thanks everyone for their participation in the event. Engineering competition

A team of 10 Pittston Area juniors competed in the Wilkes University Engineering Olympics on March 30.
