Kellmer Kellmer has a first name. It’s Shawn. I think I used it once, the first time I called roll in a class he took at the community college. I’m probably exaggerating, but it seemed he became simply Kellmer – to me and to everyone else – almost immediately. I’m positive I haven’t addressed him as Shawn in nearly two years. Kellmer’s a genius – an annoying genius, but a genius just the same. I’m not being disrespectful, merely quoting him. “I know I’m annoying, but …” he’ll begin and then overwhelm you with a lengthy story complete with a half-dozen detours and more trivia than the Book of Lists. He’s a master at making a long story longer, with the story’s length eclipsed only by its volume. Kellmer is loud. But he’s also brilliant. I’m sure I’ve learned more from him than he from me. If not, it wasn’t his fault. Kellmer is one of the reasons teaching at a community col-

lege is so much fun. He’s what is known as a non-traditional student, which means he wasn’t in high school the year before or the year before that. Kellmer was about 30 or so when he began college. He was a father of five and a U.S. army veteran who had just been downsized from a job that paid about 15 bucks an hour. It wasn’t the greatest job in the world, but it kept his family going and that was most important to him. When the job – and the paycheck – was no more, Kellmer decided to take advantage of his V.A. benefits and work toward something that, to him, would be the greatest job in the world: a career in writing. And work he did. Kellmer gave college everything he had and he’s about to bring that motivation to Misericordia University next fall. He arrives at Misericordia with the highest recommendation of everyone who taught him at LCCC and the honor of being chosen Outstanding Adult Learner in the

Class of 2011. Kellmer wrote something in one of my classes that I’ve never been able to get out of my head. With his permission, I am sharing it with you. July 2, 1996, a friend of mine called to tell me that Cannibal Corpse (note to Dispatch readers: I assume this is a band) was playing at Sea Sea’s in Moosic and asked if I wanted to come. Although I was 19, I had to ask for special permission from my father because it was my last night home before basic training. He said I could go, stating that we’d have tomorrow. I went. It was one of the better experiences of my life at that time, however, that experience gave me one of the most awkward in return. After all the other bands played, the tech messed something up and it took an extra hour for Cannibal Corpse to get on stage. We did not leave Sea Sea’s until about 1 a.m. or so and had about a 45 minute drive to Hazleton.
On the way home, my friend’s Bronco died, and we were stranded on I-81. Luckily about an hour later one of the bands saw us and picked us up and took us home. I walked into my house about 4 a.m. or so and went to bed. My father let me sleep because he knew what had happened. I had written him a note. He woke me up at 2 p.m. for my “last meal”, which was his homemade chili that I had asked for days in advanced. Little did I know this would be the last time I’d ever have an opportunity to eat it. We ate dinner and I got a shower and then my entire family piled into my mom’s ‘85 Ford Tempo and drove to the recruiting station because I was set to leave at 4:30. I got out of the car and my mom immediately started with the goodbyes. I hugged and kissed my mother as she wept. I hugged my sisters and said goodbye. I turned to my father and we both froze. We loved each other dearly and every-

thing we did was for each other. For some reason, though, we couldn’t say it. It was so awkward. We looked like we were going to hug, but didn’t. I couldn’t say “I love you” and neither could he. We said something stupid like “I’ll see ya.” That was it. About a month later his health started to really decline and within four years he was dead. We finally did say it, but that day still hurts, from not being there the whole day to not being man enough to kiss another man or even tell him I love him. It’s ironic, on that day we were both hiding our emotions for whatever reason, and right now, as I type this, I’m crying. That’s Kellmer. And despite what he thinks, he isn’t studying to be a writer. He’s already a writer. He’s just picking up the fine points. Note: If you care to repond to Kellmer, his email is skellmer@gmx.com

have a good relationship with Reading and Northern,” Einauglea said. The warehouse section of the facility has been upgraded with the installation of T5 high bay lights, micro particle sprinklers, state of the art security systems, and 32 modern hydrolytic loading docks. There are three tenants in the warehouse section, including a bulk paper pulp distributor which brings in 500 pound blocks and supplies paper manufactured with different grades of pulp. Warehousing is fine, but manufacturing would create more jobs. Einauglea said IDC is negotiating with one manufacturer, which he couldn’t name because of a confidentiality agreement. But he did say, “They would initially bring in 100 jobs and more as the operation grows. This will be there second location, they have one in Arizona and this will be there East Coast operation.”
IDC president Barret Einauglea gives reporters a golf cart tour of the huge facility.
To encourage manufacturing tenants the next and final step in the rehab of the facility is the demolition of what is known as the “hot end” housing the caver-
nous glass furnaces, each of which could hold a tractor trailer with room to spare. That work will start later this month and will cost more than
$4 million, $1 million of which will come from state RECAP grant. See TECHNEGLAS, Page 7

Thanks to Greystone & Co. the former Techneglas plant in Jenkins Township, which closed in 2004, didn’t turn into a “brownfield” site, as abandoned industrial complexes are called. Quite the opposite. With millions of dollars being invested in demolition, clean up, repairs and upgrades the Techneglas facility is being transformed into a warehouse, distribution and manufacturing center called Interstate Distribution Center (IDC.) The owner, developer and manager of IDC is Pittston Industrial LLC, an affiliate of Greystone, a billion dollar company headquartered in New York City. An open house is scheduled for June 21 to show off the building. IDC President Barret Einauglea said IDC can give the local economy a lift. “The opportunity here is to take an old manufacturing facility which would alternatively would become a real problem for the county and the township and create a facility that will attract new businesses so that we can try to make up for the jobs that were lost,” he said. “When you lose 2,000 good-paying factory jobs it’s got a domino effect across the region. We’ve done a great deal with the warehouse section and its every bit as competitive as any facility out there.” Everything about the facility is enormous. The property is 233 acres. There are 23 acres of space, that’s one million square feet, under roof with 23 to 26 foot ceiling heights and an onsite power substation with two 69,000 volt power lines. To Einauglea the substation is one of IDC’s best selling points. “Two separate electric grids is the type of infrastructure that couldn’t be built today,” he said. The power station allows IDC tenants to buy power at a 45 percent discount, which is attractive to manufacturing, high technology firms and data centers. Another selling point is the Reading and Northern Railroad which serves the facility. “We

New life for former Techneglas plant
In its 65th year, Sunday Dispatch part of ‘the 21st Century in the media world’ Question: Can a business that is 104 years old define itself as cool, hip and new? You can be cool and hip at 104, no doubt about it, but “new?” Answer: Goodbye, WilkesBarre Publishing Company; hello, Impressions Media. We have a new name, and it’s not just a clever moniker. It breaks the sound barrier, screaming, “We are now! We are the 21st century in the media world!” “The Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company, which owns The Times Leader along with many other publications, digital products and related businesses, will now operate as Impressions Media,” said Richard L. Connor, editor and publisher of The Times Leader and chief executive officer of Impressions Media. “If you have a message to deliver, an audience to reach or a product you need to sell, we are now your one-stop shopping solution. We will meet our customers’ needs for media in this market.” The Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company’s proud history and long-standing traditions will not be abandoned, Connor emphasized. “We are not truly saying goodbye to the name or its significance in the community,” he said. “Like a favorite piece of clothing, the former name will stay in the house but occupy a different spot in the closet.” Prashant Shitut, president of Impressions Media, said, “It is only appropriate that our multimedia offerings are reflected in our name. As our strong traditional media brands continue to be vibrant, we have now embarked on a series of new digital media offerings that will only enhance the user experience for our audience and offer cost-effective, cutting-edge technology to our advertisers.
“Whether it is a new iPad app or mobile technology, we have demonstrated that we are the pioneers in Northeastern Pennsylvania’s multimedia world,” Shitut added. Digital products and services offered by Impressions Media include: • Online Directory • Search Engine Marketing • Reputation Management • Product/Service Promotion Video • Click to Call Lead Generation • Website Development • Real-Time Website Analytics • Social Media Consulting • Mobile Marketing, including: • Branded QR Codes • Interactive Mobile Landing Pages • Apps • SMS Text Message Marketing
Statistics show nearly half of small businesses don’t have a website, while more than 60 percent of consumers who access the Internet use it to buy goods or services. The website development service is the best example of opportunity for area businesses. All these solutions from Impressions Media not only offer initial development but on-going maintenance and hosting too. Jim Schilling, vice president of marketing and community relations for Wyoming Valley Health Care System, said, “Objectively and sincerely, The Times Leader is a great newspaper. They were among the first to introduce online as a marketing medium and we’ve been on board since the beginning because their implementation was flawless.” Chris Kostelnik, vice president and store manager of Macy’s, Dickson City, had this to say about the company: “They are al-
ways staying ahead of the curve, not just on a regional level, but on a national level. They have a fresh approach to their online products. They’ve evolved so much over the past five years. I love that they always have new
media channels available for me to reach my customers.” John Mellon, a business/marketing professor at Misericordia University in Dallas Township, applauded the new brand name. See IMPRESSIONS, Page 7

Corvette show in today benefits American Legion By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Since nothing speaks to America’s love affair with the automobile like a Corvette, a car show today from noon to 3 p.m. at West Side Auto on Wyoming Avenue in West Pittston might be described as a Corvette love-in. Organizer Ron Gitkos said the sixth annual show – dubbed Vettes for Vets because it is a fund raiser for the 1st Lt. Jeffrey DePrimo West Pittston American Legion Post 542 – annually draws from 15 to 60 Corvette enthusiasts from all over the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area.
Registration is $10 and that includes lots of food and beverages. Gitkos suggests registering early. “They come for a bite to eat and to look at other cars,” Gitkos said. “There’ll be an assortment. Last year we had from Pete Franco’s 1960 up to new.” Franco’s 1960 is considered a first generation ‘Vette which covers from 1953, when the car was introduced, to 1962. Gitkos said the oldest originally owned ‘Vette at last year’s show was Mike Mecadon’s 1979 model. Gitkos owns a 2007 convertible. While Corvette lovers are

he added, will go a long way toward “helping to build better relationships with your customers by telling them what you have to offer them beyond a hard-copy newspaper.” The Times Leader has been publishing a daily newspaper since 1907. Through numerous changes and owners, it once again became the Wilkes-Barre Publishing Company in 2006. The company has long been recognized for its award-winning journalism, and more recently for its record-breaking audience
growth, ranked ninth in the nation and second in the state by The Audit Bureau of Circulations. Besides publishing newspapers, including The Times Leader, the Weekender, the Sunday Dispatch, Go Lackawanna, The Abington Journal, The Dallas Post and El Mensajero, the company operates numerous media websites and also offers commercial printing and packaging services along with its numerous digital marketing solutions for local businesses.
naces and nine shops going they were making 40,000 face plates, the equivalent of 800 tons of glass,” he said. The furnaces ran 24/7, which required the enormous power supplied by the 69,000 volt grids. It’s said that under the right conditions the hum of power could be heard in adjacent neighborhoods. Techneglas, previously known as OI-NEG and Owens-Illinois, was built in 1968 to manufacture television face plates, the thick glass coverings on picture tube televisions. In its heyday in the mid to late ‘90s, 2,500 workers were employed. Jenkins Township supervisor Stanley Rovinski said it has been estimated that Techneglas pumped $10 million a year into the local economy during peak
production. Rovinski said IDC may not have that kind of impact, but he believes it should be generating more regional interest. “People say it’s all about Jenkins, but it’s not,” he said. “It’s good for the whole area.” Einauglea said politicians have been helpful. He hopes to attract realtors and developers to the open house on June 21.

By switching the name from a “publishing company” to a “media company,” he said, the company has created “more of a 21st century connotation.” Mellon said that shedding the image — whether accurate or not — of being just a publishing company will help let businesses and readers know that there’s more to the company than newsprint and ink. And the new name,

“We’ve been working with the state and the township on environmental issues regarding the demolition and we have a plan that has been thoroughly reviewed by DEP and the Jenkins board of supervisors,” Einauglea said. The contrast between the furnace area, which resembles a rust belt facility, and the gleaming rehabilitated areas offers a stunning before and after which emphasizes the quality of the work.

very day is Flag Day at the By Pass Lounge as the thousands of motorists who daily pass by the bar at the busy Oak Street intersection can’t help but notice. The 20 full-sized American Flags which stand guard in a semi-circle around the bar’s parking lot are a visual treat by day and by night when they are lighted by solar lights. They are also a testament to the patriotism of bar owner Jim Strauser. A retired 25-year Air Force veteran, Strauser bought the By Pass Lounge six years ago. He said the idea to surround the bar with American flags just popped
into his head one day. Laughing, he said, “It looks more like an American Legion or VFW than a bar. I’m proud to be an American. The flags are not an advertisement. They aren’t for anything, really, except to show the colors.” Strauser graduated from Dallas High School in 1963. In 1965 he joined to Air Force. He retired in 1990 and worked at Owens Illinois, Daring’s Market and Procter and Gamble before buying the By Pass. He said he likes serving people and he long wanted to own a bar. After a search he settled on the By Pass because it was well maintained and didn’t require a

Pastor Bob concert today at St. Peter’s Members of Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church in Hughestown know of Pastor Bob Mitchell as their spiritual leader – who delivers inspiring sermons, oversees the work of the church’s committees, ministers to the elderly and hospitalized, leads worship services, and strives to create an atmosphere of shalom within the church and community. What members may not fully know about Pastor Bob is his extensive background in the field of music. Pastor Bob, who has served Saint Peter’s since November of 2009, has occasionally sung solos at church services. However, these have only been small glimpses of his noteworthy talent. Today, Sunday, June 12, at 4 p.m., Pastor Bob will present a performance which will feature him singing a variety of secular and sacred works – including German and Italian art songs, show tunes, and gospel songs. Pastor Bob has chosen the name “Musical Primavera” for the performance. “Primavera” means “Spring” in Italian, and the program will be held during the last full week of spring. Pastor Bob will be accompanied on piano and organ by Saint Peter’s music director, Michael Sowa. Long before Pastor Bob was ordained, he sang some 40 opera roles in a 30-year career. He appeared in15 productions with the Amato Opera Company alone, and in numerous productions with 14 other “minor league” opera companies in the NY-NJ-CT metropolitan area. Pastor Bob is the author of Opera Inside Out, published by Xlibris and is in the process of writing a memoir about his singing experiences. In addition to his opera career, he has sung extensively in concert, churches, synagogues, radio, and has a number of YouTube selections on the internet. Pastor Bob holds a B.S. degree in Voice and Opera from Mannes College of Music in New York City, as well as a Master of Divinity degree from New Brunswick (NJ) Theological Semina-

ry. Along with his wife, Joan, he co-pastored a church in the Hudson Valley for seven years. Pastor Bob has also taught philosophy at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. He has also taught in the East Stroudsburg School District on both elementary and middle school levels. Pastor Bob is a member of the Phi Mu Alpha Music Fraternity. From 1968 to 1998 he was Manager of Marketing Information Management at Scholastic, Inc. the New York-based educational publisher. He resides in Bushkill with his wife, Joan. What will also make this program special is the instrument which will be used to accompany Pastor Bob for many of his selections. Saint Peter’s has a piano which dates back to the 1920s. It was restored in the winter of 2010 through a generous contribution by Clara Schmaltz, a member of Saint Peter’s. The piano was relocated from the choir room to the church sanctuary. The piano has also been used for Sunday School events and for special concerts and services held at the church. Several selections will be accompanied on Saint Peter’s pipe organ, built in 1917 by M.P. Moller and restored in 1994 through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Carrozza. The performance will conclude with a sing-along of popular tunes and hymns. A freewill offering will be collected to help raise funds for Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church, and a reception will follow the performance.

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 2011
OUR OPINION
Moving mountains Does the merging of local Catholic parishes – some of which date back for more than 100 years – require the type of faith it takes to move mountains? Perhaps it should not, but in some cases it actually does. Fortunately, many Catholics in Greater Pittston are proving they have such faith. These have been trying times for Catholics who have witnessed churches in which they, their parents, their grandparents and beyond have received all of the Sacraments, where they have laughed together, cried together, and praised the Lord together, being closed for good and in some cases, torn down completely. In each case, the message to the faithful has been the same: a church is not a building, a church is people. Still, there is hurt to be dealt with, hard feelings to overcome. We are pleased to note that the signs are there that faith prevails. Last Sunday in Exeter, tears flowed at the closing Mass of St. John the Baptist Church. Today, joyous voices will be heard singing at the former St. Anthony’s Church in Exeter as the parishioners of St. John the Baptist, St. Cecilia’s and St. Anthony’s celebrate the creation of a new parish: St. Barbara’s An indication of their unity lies in the announcement of dates for first bazaar of the new Parish of Saint Barbara: July 22, 23, 24. Another new Greater Pittston parish, Corpus Christi, created with the merging of Immaculate Conception of West Pittston and the Church of the Holy Redeemer, Harding, is having its first parish bazaar Thursday through Saturday, June 16, 17 and 18 at the Holy Redeemer Church Grounds, Route 92, Harding. After all of the questioning and the tears it will be wonderful to see the parishioners of the new parishes coming together for the common good. Faith, it seems, has triumphed.

YOUR OPINION
Are police above the law when it comes to ‘no parking’ zones? At around noon on Friday, May 27, I was driving past the Healy Playground on Wright Street in Duryea when I noticed an Avoca police car parked next to the playground. The officer(s) were apparently attending some sort of picnic or open house at Roll Call police shop across Foote Avenue from the playground. My issue is that the Avoca police car was parked on the playground side of Wright Street, where there are two signs clearly indicating “no parking this side of street”. Parking is not permitted there for a reason: children leaving the playground may attempt to cross the street here. Parked cars will impede motorists’ view of children if they attempt to cross between the cars, creating a safety hazard.
By parking in this no-parking zone, the Avoca police endangered the lives of children and pedestrians. It was also clearly indicated on Roll Call’s sign that additional parking for the event was located at the Germania Hose Co. Were the Avoca police officers just too lazy to walk a block up the street from the fire house? Or do they believe they are above the law? Until police officers themselves pay heed to the law, they should not issue any type of citations to civilians. These police officers should be reprimanded and/or issued citations. Shame on them.

Independent candidate asks for vote for County council What is the main objective of a politician? To be a good honest public servant would be a good answer. In the political sector every economic decision should depend on whether it protects or undermines the dignity of the human person and the societal value of the family, state, and nation. The
Free Market System when accompanied by prudence and generosity is a marvelous system. Let us never forget that we should reject the totalitarian and atheistic socialism that repudiates free See CANDIDATE, Page 26

The merry month of May, and April too the Hyatt, Park Aviara Hotel in Carlsbadd. After eating the finger sandwiches, scones, and miniature desserts, Chet asked what was on the menu for dinner. Caroline responded, “you just ate it, Dad.” Sunday dinner was special for Charlene was joining us for a two day visit with the famous Palo Casino on the agenda. Two friends of Stephen Jade’s would also be present. When Caroline mentioned the name of the young man, I told her I had recently met him and I recalled he was in the navy and stationed in San Diego. “What are the chances it’s the same young man?” Providence has a way of rejoining people who make an impression on you. When Mat Cefalo walked into Caroline’s home on Sunday afternoon it was immediate recognition. We embraced and shared a moment of connection as we did when first meeting. Mat is a dedicated young sailor filled with determination to accomplish the goals he has set for himself. It was a pleasure and reassuring to talk to him. He is the son of Judy and Michael Cefalo of Exeter and the grandson of Anthony and the late Carmella Chimento and Barbara and Michael Cefalo of Pittston. We left California overflowing with embraces, memories and promises. “See you soon, Daddy.” Love you was heard as she turned away to leave. Back to Texas where life takes on a different pace. Michele met us at the airport and on the drive home recited all the shopping we had to do to get Alexander ready for graduation and confirmation. My brain was keeping up but my body wanted two days of rest. Mission accomplished and much more. On Friday, May 20, we sat in St. Mark’s Church attending Alexander’s graduation mass with all the children of the school. With tears streaming my mind recalled the many masses attended here while Nicolas and Alexander were students. It always filled me with pride to see the church filled with the young and beautiful faces and to hear their voices lifted in song. I was remembering after mass watching the students file out of church and hoping the boys would spot us. Without fail they always broke line to give us a hug and kiss. As I watched this handsome young man my mind went back to pre-school when Grampie and me picked him up. We could never wait for the designated time and always arrived early. When Alexander saw us he would come flying into our arms with a look of liberation. Never without fail he would mention that he did not have his snack yet. The teacher was very obliging. We were three happy souls on our way home. He with his snack and we with our precious little boy. All the activities we had come to be part of had ended. We left Texas heavy hearted and full of memories. Happy to have been part of another milestone in Alexander’s life. If I was looking for a rest when I arrived home it See MARIA, Page 26
Father’s Day is just around the corner! If you have a dad, granddad, stepdad, or significant other dad, it’s a great time to show that you really care about this person. Caring can also include making and treating him to healthy foods and planning a day with some activity. Planning to spend time with your Dad can be tough with today’s fast pace moving families and individuals. Choosing to plan a fun activity may be a bit challenging, but research shows that laughter reduces stress, hence boosts your immune system. Planning a meal with Dad can be a common way of celebrating the day. However, now could also be the time to be mindful of how heart healthy the meal is. Save money and eat healthier by making your own “fast” or quick cooking food at home. Also, boost your dad’s veggies and fiber for the day! Research shows that dads and moms don’t eat enough fiber every day. Fiber is a part of a heart healthy eating plan. Include at least 20 – 25 grams of fiber every day. Just recently Penny Kris-Etherton, professor of nutrition at the College of Health and Human Development, Penn State University worked with U.S. News to create the “Best Diet” rankings. If you haven’t reviewed them yet, in the category of Best Diets Overall, the DASH diet ranked No. 1. DASH stands for Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension. To learn more about the diet, call our office for your copy at 1-888825-1701 or visit http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/hbp/ dash/new_dash.pdf Planning to make and eat a family meal together can be fun, reduce stress and also be heart healthy. Remember to include a minimum of 2 cups of non starchy vegetables a day, such as summer squash, green beans and red peppers. Meanwhile here are a few recipes to enjoy without the guilt! Serve fresh darks greens washed and tossed with this low sodium, healthy oil salad dressing: Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
1 bulb garlic, separated and peeled 1/2 cup water 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar 1/4 tsp honey 1 Tbsp virgin olive oil 1/4 tsp black pepper Place the garlic cloves into a small saucepan and pour enough water (about 1/2 cup) to cover them. Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until garlic is tender, about 15 minutes. Reduce the liquid to 2 Tbsp and increase the heat for 3 minutes. Pour the contents into a small sieve over a bowl, and with a wooden spoon, mash the garlic through the sieve into the bowl. Whisk the vinegar into the garlic mixture; incorporate the oil and seasonings. Enjoy! Marinated Broiled Portobello Mushrooms

The months of April and May have been filled with many activities, emotions, aching feet and bones, and beautiful memories. Chet and I visited our Texas and California families in the spring this year because of family celebrations and because Daddy wanted to see faces rather than hear voices on the telephone. Our journey always begins in Texas with Michele, Cemil, Nicolas and Alexander. We had planned to be there in early May but a distress call came. “Mother, you have to be here in April so much is going on. Alexander is doing several reading in the Living Stations of the Cross at St. Mark’s School and again for the parish and Nicolas is receiving the Jesuit Cross in a special ceremony for the Junior Class.” That was enough to send us back to the airport to adjust our tickets. Our trip to California is always arranged by Caroline. Rather than landing in San Diego we landed at the John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana. There are always hugs, kisses and a sigh of relief from Caroline knowing that we made it okay. Everyday is an adventure with Caroline and of course we would not go directly home. It was off to have lunch at Ruby’s Diner in Huntington Beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean. As she parked the car the wind was in high gear. “Do you think you can make it on the boardwalk”, she asked as we were hanging on to each other. Getting wind blown was worth it as we walked into the circular diner decorated in a ‘50s theme. We were seated by the windows with a clear view of the ocean with white capped waves splashing to shore. The waitress announced that a whale was spotted earlier. Such excitement! We ate our hamburgers and fries watching for Mr. Whale to reappear but he did not. On the drive home I was engrossed in watching the magnificent panoramic view of the rolling hills which were still green. Every scene is different and breathtaking. The perched jutting rocks seemingly ready to tumble are a wonderment. For some strange reason we did not stop at our destination Murrietta but found ourselves driving into an Indian casino. Confused for a moment it was not difficult to figure out. Father and daughter had a conspiracy. Chet said he heard the beat of the tom toms calling while Caroline heard cha-chink. She was right and very lucky that day. There was much excitement in Caroline and Stephen’s home for Stephen Jade was arriving home from Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. The bundles of laundry were easily dismissed with the announcement that he finished his first year of college with a 4.0 average. He also came home with a unicycle which he rode with astonishing skill. Chet was fascinated and dying to get his hands on it. At one point Caroline and I found him with unicycle in hand and we both blurted “Don’t even think about it.” Caroline had a full agenda one being high tea at

Sixth annual tour to focus on churches in Exeter Borough
xeter is one of those places that doesn’t get the attention it deserves, said Atty. Jan Lokuta, founder and host of the annual Greater Pittston Summer Church tour. Exeter is the site of the Battle of Wyoming; the Borough of Exeter shares its name with not one but two townships, one in Luzerne County and another in Wyoming County; the Borough is also a cross section of the Wyoming Valley, part rural part urban, part rolling green hills, part blacktop and four lane highway, Lokuta added. Attention will be paid to the historic churches of Exeter, three of which are closing as separate parishes and are being reborn as a new parish, when the 6th annual Tour of Historic Churches of Greater Pittston visits those churches beginning at 1 p.m., Sunday, June 19. Starting at Saint Cecilia’s Roman Catholic Church on Wyoming Avenue Exeter, the tour will then stop at Saint John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, on Schooley St., and then proceed the Slocum See CHURCH TOUR, Page 38
The church tour will conclude at St. Anthony's, which is about to become St. Barbara's, in Exeter.
Peeking into the past
Question #1 Anna Lillis of Browntown and Mary A. Mulcahy of Cork Lane shared the distinction of being the first women to With Judy Minsavage achieve a milestone in 1950, what was it? 1950 – 61 Years Ago At the conclusion of the 1950 census, preliminary figures showed a significant drop in residents in Pittston, Duryea, Dupont and Exeter. Estimates on West Pittston, Hughestown, Avoca and the Wyomings were equally low. Many expected the total reduction in population would exceed 10,000. In 1950, the population of the United States totaled 150 million. The 2010 census lists total population at 300 million. The Sunday Dispatch celebrated the first anniversary of the “Inquiring Photographer” column. An overwhelming reaction by the female population of Greater Pittston showed the most controversial question to the person on the street was, “How many nights a week should a married man be allowed to go out alone?” To see some of the answers revisit Peeking into the Past for May 1, 2011. The second most controversial question, “Do you think a man should help with the housework?” To which Leo Fasciana answered, “A husband doesn’t have time to do housework.” Due to the popularity of the column, Leo was besieged with telephone calls and letters. One letter stated, “I know you operate the Fashion Nut Company, so brother, nuts to you’.” Freed’s on Main Street in Pittston offered a great gift for the graduate on the go, the Philco 631 3-way portable radio. The permanently “concealed aerial” and self-contained “battery bay” made this a must for the beach and a summer of fun.
1970 – 41 Years Ago Joseph Casey, Joseph Hobbs, Joseph Cooney and Frank Steer, the last in a long line of trackmen known as “Gandy Dancers,” totaled l82 years of service. The four men were the only track maintenance crew left in the region as the Butler, Central, Ewen, No. 9, No 14 and other operations went out of business. The men maintained the rails and beds between Pittston No 7 Junction, Dunmore and Hawley. At one time as many as 205 Gandy Dancers were employed when coalmines were in operation. At the time the Erie Railroad roundhouse and freight station was located in Avoca in the York Avenue area. Although there are a few theories as to the origin of the term Gandy Dancer, one holds that while the men worked they used melodic patterns and songs to work in unison, enabling them to move with dance-like precision. Regional Cub Scouts were planning to attend Webelos Day at Camp Acahela on the Lehigh River. Fathers and sons were set to take part in various activities offered by the camp staff. Some of the local committee members were Ed Zie-
1980 – 31 Years Ago Stan Klepadlo, club manager of the Avoca Horseshoe League, looked forward to the beginning of a new season. Teams like John Vols’s Thoroughbreds and Archie Faulkner’s “Yearlings”, Bill Drozginski’s “Stallions” were gearing up for competitive and exciting games at Brown’s Sportsmen Club. According to sportsknowhow.com, the first horseshoe club was founded in Pennsylvania in 1899. The first “world championship” horseshoe tournament took place in Bronson, Kansas at a 1909 horse show. The top ten songs according to WARD radio in June 1980: 1. Coming Up, Paul McCartney 2. Funkytown, Lipps, Inc. 3. Against the Wind, Bob Segar 4. The Rose, Bette Midler 5. Biggest Part of Me, Ambrosia 6. Little Jeannie, Elton John 7. Steal Away, Robbie Dupree 8. She’s Out of My Life, Michael Jackson 9. It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me, Billy Joel 10. Cars, Gary Numan. Mike Kundla of Port Griffith led the Jenkins Township Little League in strikeouts averaging 13 to 15 per game. He also led his team to a 12-0 victory by
pitching a no hitter against the Milazzo team. Mike’s father Dave Kundla was one of the first players of the township Little League which began in 1956. 1990 – 21 Years Ago Wyoming Area School Board treasurer Dominick Aritz and secretary Richard Pepe established two scholarships by depositing $200 each per month while with the Greater Pittston Kiwanis Club creating the Green and Gold Scholarships. Maureen Gelb of Harding and Robert Kubasko of Wyoming received the scholarships valued at $2,000 each. Question #2 What lasting memorial did the Italian American Association make to the city of Pittston? Joe Tavaglione, vice commander of Post No 2 Veterans of the Vietnam War, was chairman of the committee to raise money to bring the Moving Wall to Luzerne County. The Wall, a half-size replica of the Washington DC monument, is 252.83 feet long with 74 frames, each containing two silk screened panels containing the names of 58,175 men and women, 2,323 POW/ MIAs. To learn more about this moving tribute go to themovingwall.org. Joe was the recipient of the 2007 Joseph F. Saporito Lifetime of Service Award. Answer #1 Anna Lillis and Mary A. Mulcahy were the first females to graduate from the University of Scranton receiving Bachelor of Science degrees in education. Anna the principal of elementary classes in the Wilson building instructed eighth grade. Mary was a third grade teacher. Both women began their studies at the university’s night school four years earlier. Answer #2 The Italian American Association of Luzerne County, once known as the Columbus League, donated the statue of Christopher Columbus established in 1948 and replaced in 1969. The statue is located on the south end of Pittston City. Let’s all display our flag proudly on Flag Day and every day. The whole inspiration of our life as a nation flows out from the waving folds of this banner. Author Unknown

1960 – 51 Years Ago West Pittston was one of the few local towns of its size to be equipped with essential civil defense equipment. A parade and demonstration of the equipment was held at the Little League field with Raymond Simonson coordinating the event. The town’s portable electric plant, emergency floodlighting and twoway telephone and intercommunication system were on display. Assisting in the demonstration were chief of police Worthy Hood; fire chief George Miller, Marilyn VanDuzer, Reginald Ellis,
George Weiskerger, Dr. Rufus Bierly, Bessie Thomas, James Loftus and Ernest Hayes. The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked local Pittston gents, “What is your nickname and how did you get it.” Joseph Sabatelli answered, “Reba. Tony Bruno gave me the name and it stuck.” Guido N. Frushon said, “Wimpy. On a trip to New York I must have eaten 30 hamburgers. Since that day they call me that.” Charles Mantione added, “I’ve been called Pop since I was six years old, it must have had something to do with Popeye.” John Montaro said, “From the time I was six people have called me Pete. When they read this they’ll be surprised to find out my real name is John.” John Shandra of Browntown added, “My nickname is Twinny because I have a twin brother, Joseph. People who couldn’t tell us apart just called us Twinny.”
linski, Dunmore; Joe Waskiewicz, Dupont, and Joe Shymanski, West Wyoming. Camp Acahela in Blakeslee sits on a peninsula formed by the Lehigh and the Tobyhanna Creek. Acahela has 242 acres of woods, open fields, and shady groves. American military personnel pulled out of Mactan Airbase in the Philippines when the base was turned over to the Philippine Air Force and Civil Aeronautics. Authorities realized there was no one that could operate the very high frequency Omni-range radio left by the Americans. After an extensive search, A 1/C Alfred R. Ricchielli of Dupont received the call to report to the base. He operated the radio navigation system until Philippine servicemen could be trained. The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked area students, “As you graduate what are your emotions?” Frank Sorosky of Exeter answered, “After waiting 12 years I must say I am glad.” Sam Alfano of Wyoming said, “I have mixed emotions.” Tony Dellarte, West Pittston, declared, “Pure ecstasy!” Diane Cebula answered, “When I think about leaving my friends and teachers, I could cry.”

Massachusetts’ highest court has ruled that prosecutors can indict suspects known only by their DNA profiles and bring them to justice years later when police identify who the genetic material belongs to, even if the statutes of limitation have lapsed. In the Supreme Judicial Court’s first decision of its kind, the justices unanimously concluded that a DNA profile is an “indelible ‘bar code’ that labels an individual’s identity with nearly irrefutable precision.” As such, it can serve as the identity of the person indicted, even though the charging document lists the unknown defendant as John Doe. *** A National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) administrative law judge in Connecticut has dismissed objections filed by Student Transportation of America (STA) against the union its employees voted to join last September. The employer claimed that the drivers’ ability to make a reasonable decision on the day of the voting had been affected and sought to have the results overturned. The judge concluded the objections had no merit and should be dismissed, further ordering the labor board to certify the bus drivers’ union election. *** The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that Ohio may dissolve Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Programs and use the related funds for other purposes. *** Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington have raised their minimum wages.

WAFPA explain Saturday’s coin-drop postponement Community yard sale next Saturday at the Salvation Army, West Pittston The Wyoming Area Football Parents Association (WAFPA) “Coin-Drop,” which was scheduled for Saturday, June 11 was postponed until a later date. After learning that an LIU teacher required assistance for their child who is suffering from Leukemia, WAFPA and the Wyoming Area football players decided to curtail their efforts in fundraising to a later date; as they feel that helping this family is a far more important cause. WAF-
PA parents are urged to attend their regular monthly meeting, as the season quickly approaches. WAFPA will meet Thursday at Cuz’s Catering Hall located on Susquehanna Avenue in Exeter at 7 p.m. Community Yard Sale

good feeling that people who know each other and care for each other are working together with meaning and purpose. It was a parade honoring American Veterans of all wars and one to be proud of.

will and the ownership of private property. The Bible gives evidence (Genesis 1:26-27) that man is made in the image and likeness of God. Man has interiority, he has a soul. Money has no soul. Therefore human work proceeds directly from the persons created in the image of God and called to prolong the work of creation by subduing the earth, both with one and for one another. Hence work is a duty. We must remember the legitimate fruit of work is a just wage. The value and proclamation of human rights and human decency are characteristics inscribed by God himself. Honesty and integrity are so important because political corruption is the worst
deformity in a democratic system that negate moral principles and social justice. Economic bondage and enslavement against the poor and elderly through excessive taxation is abominable. Biblical evidence (Exodus 22:22-24)-states ‘You shall not afflict any widow or orphan. If you do afflict them, and they cry out to me, I will surely hear their cry; and my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword.’ Strong language from God. Who should be elected? Honest people with no political motives, who are people of integrity and want transparency and honesty in government. People like Tim Mullen a Liberatarian Candidate who served his Country in the Iraq War. Tim Mullen is a God fearing family man, a Registered Nurse whose main objective is fiscal integrity

s he leaves the West Pittston mayorship for a position as deputy director of Gov. Tom Corbett’s Northeast Regional office, Bill Goldsworthy has just one regret in his 40 years of service to West Pittston as a fireman, councilman and mayor -- the ongoing sewer project. Not that he’s against it. He’s proud that it’s getting done, but he said, “We should have done it sooner. Like 25 years ago when I first got on council.” He also feels good about other projects which happened in the borough during his time as mayor. There is Hitchner project which will turn an old bakery into apartments. He’s looking forward seeing that happen. Also under Goldsworthy, West Pittston established the first municipal dog park in Luzerne

Pittston Police Department and he said he’s proud of the force which he describes as one of the best equipped and trained in the Valley. Goldsworthy, 57, said it’s likely he was offered the job because West Pittston is considered a well-run community and because he is well known in Harrisburg where he has served on various state boards. The Governor’s Northeast Regional office serves 18 counties from its main office in the old Oppenheim Building in Scranton. The office works as a kind of middleman between individual residents, counties and municipalities and the state government and government agencies. Goldsworthy said it was bittersweet to step down as mayor of West Pittston for the governor’s office. “The way I look at it, I’ll be able to help even more people and, hopefully, West Pittston.” A governor’s term in Pennsylvania is four years. Asked what he would do if Corbett did not run for a second term or lost a reelection campaign, Goldsworthy, who also resigned his position at Golden Business Ma-

Council president Brian Thornton said Denisco got quick approval because he is well known, respected and involved in the borough. Denisco said he has a good relationship with council. “I’d like to see West Pittston keep going forward.

Famed star from Stauffer Heights finds new home at Pittston Area High School The subsequent owners of the Stauffer house continued lighting the star into the early to mid ‘90s. But when the lot was sold for home development the star
By Jack Smiles
Thanks to students from the Pittston Area National Honor Society the iconic “Stauffer Star” is shining over Pittston once again from its new home on the Pittston Area High School campus in Yatesville. Before May 29, when the students had a ceremonial lighting after rehabilitating it, the giant star hadn’t been lighted in almost 20 years. The star was erected by Roy Stauffer (1896 -1975), a wealthy car dealer who owned showcase Chevrolet dealerships in West Pittston and Scranton. He is the subject of an historical marker on the river common in West Pittston where planted cherry blossom trees. But he may be better known for developing Stauffer Heights in the 1950s. He built a home there, considered futuristic at the time, with plate glass windows offering panoramic views of Greater Pittston and the surrounding mountains. He put the

which was slated to be scrapped – was made in a story in this paper in April, 2010. The story noted that for many local residents the star was considered a significant piece of Pittston history. Enter Pittston Area NHS students Anthony Guariglia, John Lombardo, Heather Marsico, Dave McLean, Ben Pace, John Poli, Vincent Riggi, and Letitia Warunek. Urged on by Jim Zarra, the students agreed to take on rescuing the star as an NHS project. Pat Hadley of Hadley Construction donated workers to dismantle the star’s steel frame in May of 2010, a tricky job as it is 40-foot high, weighs a half-ton and was mounted in a concrete footer.

Hadley moved the dismantled star to the Pittston Area High School campus and put it on the ground on a hill next to the “Patriot Country” sign. Working on site, the NHS students reconfigured its geometry, cleaned and painted it. Pittston Area Vo-Tech students welded it back together. Then Hadley’s men came back and raised it. Originally the star had been lighted by12515-watt bulbs. The students opted for an updated lighting system. After raising $4200 through fund raisers and donations they outfitted the star with Colorflex cool white, LED tube lighting purchased from Freidman Electric. John Lombardo said the lighting is super efficient. “Every 100 feet uses the equivalent of the electricity used by one light bulb and it costs practically nothing to light,” Lombardo said.

And the Beat Goes On Ryan O'Malley
If there were one word (other than ’Woodstock’) that will forever be associated with Max Yasgur’s farm in Bethel, New York, it would be ‘hippies.’ For three days in 1969, almost a halfmillion hippies gathered on Yasgur’s property to celebrate three days of peace, love and music. A few years later, amongst some resentment from townspeople, Yasgur sold the land, leaving it to be a mostly private getaway tucked on the side of Route 17B. Since the land changed hands almost a decade ago, the grounds have undergone a dramatic change and are now the home to a permanent music venue known as the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Last weekend, the land hosted another three-day gathering that saw immense traffic converge on the rural communi-
ty. Perennial jam-band favorite Phish made its debut on the farm with three sold-out shows, including a brilliant performance on Saturday, May 28. For the first time since 1997, the band kicked the evening off with an extensive “Theme From the Bottom,” before bringing about one of the loudest crowd sing-along moments with an upbeat “NICU.” With Saturday marking the second show of its summer tour, the band was in extremely high spirits during fiery takes on “Cities” by The Talking Heads, the early hit “Runaway Jim,” and a long “Hailey’s Comet,” which found guitarist Trey Anastasio unleashing some blistering solos during the ending jam. A highlight of the first set, “Quinn The Eskimo (Mighty Quinn)” proved to be one of the
A new ‘Phish’ cheer heard at Yasgur’s farm strong points of the evening by sending the sold-out crowd into a dancing frenzy. For a song that is played a decent amount on the radio, something about hearing Bob Dylan’s music on the site of Woodstock makes for an enjoyable evening. Wrapping up its first set, the quartet unleashed a quick run through “Horn” before ending with the always-enjoyable “Bathtub Gin.” By the end of the first set, and notably on “Bathtub Gin,” keyboardist Page McConnell’s tranquil playing began to take center stage, much to the delight of both the fans and the band, who seemed to encourage McConnell to become a “lead” instrument of the night. After a brief break, the band returned with what many people would argue was the highlight of the show, a stoic take on the fanfriendly “Down with Disease.” During the opening jam, Mike Gordon’s signature low-end bass lines became prominent with most of the audience realizing
what was coming up. True to form, Gordon’s instantly-recognizable intro catapulted into a ferocious 15-minute run through the song which perfectly segued into the guitar-heavy “Free.” “Backwards Down the Number Line,” a softer cut from the band’s latest effort “Joy,” made for a surprisingly refreshing highlight in the middle of the second set. Showing off its humorous side, the band delivered a comedic take on the reggae-flavored “Makisupa Policeman,” complete with numerous mentions of the word “spliff ” and a chanting reference to Anastasio’s favorite television show, “House.” After a funky version of “Harry Hood,” and a swift take on “Cavern,” the band closed the main set with a semi-short but effective run through the avantgarde jazz tingled “David Bowie,” which showcased the tight grooves of drummer Jon Fishman. While awaiting the encore,
people were heard discussing what song might be played – most interesting was “Woodstock” by Crosby, Stills and Nash – before being surprised by McConnell unleashing a spot-on take of The Beatles classic “A Day in the Life.” Though the Bethel shows were the opening night of the band’s summer tour, Phish is coming out the gate at full speed. Maybe with the announcement of no fall tour, something has pushed the band to deliver everything it has on this run. Since reconvening in 2009, Phish continues to grow with each tour, and summer 2011 is definitely one you’ll want to be a part of. And the beat goes on… Ryan O’Malley is the music journalist for The Sunday Dispatch and a correspondent for The Weekender. He may be reached at musicjournalman@hotmail.com

File crew finds Argo yard ideal for shoot Scenes for film ‘Trust Me’ shot last week at Pittston councilman’s home Scenes from an upcoming feature film, “Trust Me,” written and directed by West Hazleton native Chris Fetchko, were shot in Pittston this week in and around the Oregon yard of Pittston Councilman Danny Argo. Argo said the movie crew was lunching at Cooper’s Seafood House near his home and spotted his yard and picnic table and decided to shot an outdoor scene there. Scenes may also be filmed during the next two weeks or so at Cooper’s. Fetchko, who now lives in Mountain Top, told the Times Leader that he wanted to highlight Northeastern Pennsylvania. “Setting it in the area was a nobrainer for me,” he said. The plot of “Trust Me” was largely inspired by Fetchko’s decision to leave a stable accounting career to manage a rock band, his experience managing The Badlees and a past choice to put his work over a relationship with a woman he loved, according to his online blog about the movie. The film tells the story of Charlie, who quits a high-paying job on Wall Street to manage a struggling rock band. Charlie’s battle to balance ambition and love “spirals into a romantic, financial, and emotional tailspin, culminating in a last-ditch effort to put on the most unique rock concert of all time,” said a movie description released by Fetchko. New York City actor Sean Modica has been cast as Charlie.

Agenda items include discussion and recommendation for stop signs at Quail Hill for Waterford, Whitman and Pittston Avenue.

Paving costs: Gedding St. - $16,750; Bridge St. - $9,925; Coolidge St. - $73,000; Skytop $22,000; Atwell - $28,000; Wood - $58,000; Pine - $35,000 and Oak - $35,000. Residents are asked during any construction project or work being done in the Borough to contact the borough manager before and during the project with any concerns or suggestions they have which she then will discuss with council for further action. Once the projects are complete it is difficult to have the issues resolved. The borough manager works closely with the engineer and contactor and inspectors on the job and is the only person that can discuss the project issues with council to get things resolved. Approaching the contractor or inspector should only be done with notice to borough manager and council. Council continues to seek funding to pave additional streets in the borough. The 2011-12 gaming application and 2012 community development funding will focus on paving additional streets including Simpson, Smith, Lincoln, Curtain, Gill, Walnut, Lolli and others. Council also will have the street department repair alleys with the millings obtained through this current project.

McMyne drafted by Reds Old Forge grad selected in fourth round of MLB Draft by Cincinnati
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
Growing up a true Blue Devil, Old Forge graduate Kyle McMyne refused to wear the color red. Even as a leader in the Villanova University clubhouse and weight room, he gave his teammates an edict that the color red was not to be worn during baseball functions. Well the colors in McMyne’s world are about to change. The Wildcats right-hander was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the fourth round of Tuesday’s Major League Baseball first year player draft, making him the first Old Forge alum to be drafted in a Top 10 round. “The feeling is unreal,” McMyne said in a telephone interview minutes after being selected. “It’s a dream come true to be picked. It’s something I have always wanted and worked for. I have dreamed of this since I was a baby. “It didn’t matter who selected me, but it is ironic it was the Reds.”
MLB Draft experts and analysts had McMyne being picked anywhere from the late fourth round to early fifth round in reports as early as Monday with likely landing spots listed as Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Pittsburgh or Seattle. But McMyne said Cincinnati had shown interest during his 2010 summer season in the Cape Cod League, and during his 2011 college season and called about 10 minutes before they selected the 21-year old with the 145th pick in the draft. “The Reds called about six picks before their selection and said they were going to take me,” said McMyne. “I was going to be happy with any organization that selected me. I’m just ready to play.” The 2008 Old Forge High School alum caught the eye of scouts two summers ago while playing for the Keene (NH) Swamp Bats in the New England Collegiate Baseball League, and last summer in the Cape Cod See MCMYNE, Page 59

Some late-inning heroics were not enough to get Greater Pittston a win on Wednesday in its battle with Back Mountain at the Atlas Sports Complex. On the other hand, it was enough to prevent a loss as umpires suspended the 12-12 game after seven long innings of play in West Pittston. The game will be completed as part of a doubleheader on June 26 with Back Mt. at Atlas. Greater Pittston got off to a fast start as Ryan Carey led off with

One out later, Chris Murphy hit a towering three-run homer to give GP a 4-0 lead. But Back Mt. came back in the second inning off starter Sam Eramo with four runs before scoring six more in the next few innings to take a 10-4 lead into the sixth. “It just wasn’t my day,” said Eramo, who allowed seven earned runs on 12 hits and three walks. “I just need to shake it off and do betSee LEGION, Page 54

Imagine this scenario. You’re sitting at Diane’s Deli and Internet Café located on South Main Street in Pittston. You’ve had a few laughs and a few beers when all of a sudden one of your drinking buddies yells out, “Hey! “I bet I could beat you in an arm wrestling match.” Both of you battle on the table for what feels like an eternity until one of you caves and the winner goes home with bragging rights for the night. Seventeen years ago, Tom “Nitro” Simko - local arm wrestling guru and Pennsylvania State Director - was watching this very scenario. Seeing the interest of others, Simko decided to create the Arms of Steel Arm Sport Tournament. The tournament coincides with the Pittston Tomato Festival and since year one, has always managed to bring in large crowds, big prizes, and great fun. This past February Simko decided to create the first Icebreaker Arm Sport Tournament which brought in over 40 competitors old and new. Now Simko has done it again, by creating the first annual Arm to Arm Combat Tournament which is a double elimination, stand up style arm wrestling tournament. It was held May 28. The rules are simple. Both competitors have one minute to get their grip and one hand must be on the peg at all times. Once the match begins competitors must stay on the pad at all times. If a competitor slips off the pad more then three times then they automatically lose to their opponent. Your shoulder must not touch your opponent’s shoulder and you must stay behind your arm so you do not get in what’s known as the “break arm” position. This sounds a lot different from messing around with your drinking buddies at the bar and if you’re walking into a tournament for the first time, these rules along with the huge “guns” around the bar may seem intimidating. Don’t be intimidated. “The reason for these tourna-
ments is for competition and fun regardless of age or experience,” said Simko. “The Arm to Arm Combat tournament was basically a novice event with 23 novices in four classes.” However, most of the novice competitors already have a lot of experience. Every Saturday night Simko holds free practices and demonstrations right at Diane’s Deli. Competitors practiced and trained for months just for this very tournament. Matt Degilio of Exeter was one of those competitors. Degilio practiced every Saturday for at least two hours every night. “The best way to practice is by trying to match the other guy’s power,” said Degilio. Simko along with his training partners taught him techniques such as the hook, the slice, and the top roll. But how did Degilio get started? One year ago Degilio walked into Diane’s Deli. He decided to watch a couple of Simko’s practices and walk over to the table one night. Simko told Degilio, “To do what you normally do.” Once Degilio demonstrated what he had Simko responded by saying “That’s your way, now I’ll show you the right way.” Degilio placed second in his first Arms of Steel tournament in the right novice 0-154 pound division. In the Arm to Arm Combat Tournament, Degilio did not place in the right novice. “It’s a group effort,” said Degilio. “Nitro is an amazing coach and at the end of the day, we’re all friends.” Simko’s tournaments are the only tournaments where a novice can win money and the huge double column trophies are the first thing that catches your eye. “I give the people what I would want at tournaments and that’s why people come,” said Simko. “There is no other tournament that gives away prizes like we do.” Simko continues to hold practices at Diane’s Deli and Internet Café every Saturday night at 9 p.m. His next plan is to take his team to the national tournament in Buffalo, NY next month.

Clock strikes midnight on Blue Devils Old Forge falls 10-0 to Wyalusing in PIAA Class 1A Quarterfinals
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
The clock struck midnight on Old Forge’s Cinderella run through the post-season Thursday afternoon in Bloomsburg, and unfortunately for the Blue Devils, it came without a happy ending. Old Forge managed just three hits and committed four errors in a 10-0, five-inning loss to Wyalusing in the PIAA Class 1A Quarterfinals at Jan Hutchinson Field on the campus of Bloomsburg University. The Blue Devils season ends at 8-11 after winning four playoff games in the past two weeks after winning just four games during its Lackawanna League Division II season. Wyalusing advances to the Eastern Final where they will take on District 11 champ Minersville. It wasn’t a game in which Old Forge didn’t have chances though. Nicole Marianelli drew a twoout walk in the first, and Dana Bilski laced a one-out single to center in the second, but the Blue Devils left both runners stranded. It was a sign of things to come. Old Forge would strand seven runners on base in five innings. Wyalusing didn’t have that problem. The District 4 champion Rams scored in three different innings, including three unearned runs in the second to go ahead, 3-0. “We left a small colony on base today,” said Head Coach Pat Revello. “Then we dug ourselves in a hole. It just wasn’t our day. “We hit the ball like I thought we would. But we had some errors that cost us, and this is a great program at Wyalusing. (Coach Jack Loomis) has a great team and has talked about this team for years. They are a strong team and have a bunch of weapons, and once we got down three runs, it’s hard to get back against this team. We wanted to win this game 1-0 or 2-1. But when you are down, 3-0 and 6-0, you are just out of the game.”

Even down 3-0, the Blue Devils battled to get back into the game in the top of the third. After a close play at first on a bunt by Taylor Nemetz resulted in the first out of the inning, leadoff hitter Lauren Carey reached on an error and moved to second when Andi Alsalahat drew a one-out walk. But the threat ended when Wyalusing senior pitcher Bri Jennings – who is bound for Delaware in the fall – struck out Marianelli and Chelsea Cadwalder to end the inning. The Rams then tacked on three more in the bottom of the inning to go ahead 6-0 as the Northern Tier League champions took advantage of back-to-back doubles and a walk to start the inning before scoring two runs with two outs. Old Forge tried to rally again in the fourth when Bilski singled for the second time in the game and advanced to second on a passed ball. But Jennings got seniors Sarah Fish and Jess Casey to fly out to right field to end the inning. The Blue Devils again put runners on in the fifth when Carey singled to right center with one out and Marianelli drew a twoout walk, but again Jennings got a strikeout to end the threat. Wyalusing then ended the game with four runs in the fifth before Old Forge could record an out for a 10-0 victory. Despite the lopsided loss, Revello had nothing but words of praise for his team and its six seniors. “It was very easy for this team at four wins to just pack it in but they didn’t,” said Revello in reference to the Blue Devils regular season. “You have to hand it to our seniors and the leadership they displayed. Every practice they practiced hard. They didn’t practice like a team that had four wins, they practiced like the champs that they are. Our seniors never let this team quit. “(The seniors) are a great group of kids. They have gone through a lot. They have been to a state final. They are walking See SOFTBALL, Page 56

Old Forge had plenty of opportunities. It’s what the five-time District 2 Class A champion Blue Devils have gotten accustomed to. Get on base. Scratch out some runs playing small-ball. Then blast a big hit to break things open. Unfortunately on Monday afternoon at Connell Park in Scranton, the big hit never came for Old Forge. Despite having six guys in the batting order boasting a batting average of .310 or better the Blue Devils failed to capitalize on many opportunities as they stranded 12 runners on the base paths in falling to District 4 champion Muncy, 8-3, in the opening round of the PIAA Class 1A Baseball Tournament. Old Forge finished its season at 14-4. Muncy won on Thursday to advance to Monday’s PIAA Eastern Final. “You have to give them credit; they swung the bats well and put the ball in play,” said first-year Old Forge manager Tony DiMattia. “When we loaded the bases with no out against that lefty of theirs, he followed with two strikeouts and a pop out to end the inning. “We had our chances. We had base runners all over the place; we just didn’t get that solid hit to drive them in.” Blue Devils ace Tony Goodall struggled with his control early as he hits three batters and walked two in the first two innings. The Indians were only able to score one run despite putting six guys on base early as Goodall escaped both one-out situations by getting a strikeout and inducing a fly ball. But Muncy got to Goodall for two unearned runs in the third after the leadoff batter reached on an error before two one-out singles made the score 3-0 heading to the bottom of the third. Needing a spark on offense after two of three Old Forge runners in the first two innings
were wiped out by base-running mistakes, Goodall took matters into his own hands. The senior connected on his team-leading fourth home run, a one-out solo shot over the right field fence, to get the Blue Devils within 3-1. “That felt good,” said Goodall. “We needed that since our offense failed in cash in on some opportunities.” Muncy answered back in the fifth after Old Forge failed to score in the bottom of the fourth despite have four batters reach base on two singles, a walk, and a hit batsman. The Blue Devils had a runner throw out at third before loading the bases for the first of three different times in the game. The Indians fifth started with a single and a walk, before a one-out error in the infield allowed another unearned run to score from third - increasing the Muncy lead to 4-1 after Goodall struck out the final two batters with runners at second and third. Old Forge got back into the game in the bottom of the fifth as Mario Martinelli led off with a single, and Michael Long followed by drawing a walk. The two then each moved up a base with Connor Fultz at the plate before Martinelli scored on an RBI groundout by the Blue Devils senior shortstop. Long had moved to third on the groundout before scoring on a sacrifice fly by Dave Argust to get Old Forge within 4-3. Unfortunately for the Blue Devils, another costly fielding error paid dividends as the Indians were able to tack on three more runs in the top half of the sixth highlighted on a two-run RBI double by Brendon Bonnell which was mishandled in left allowing Bonnell to take third. Dawson Fox capped off the inning with a sacrifice fly scoring Bonnell from third as the Indians increased their lead 7-3. Momentum had switched back to Muncy after its threerun sixth, but Old Forge was not

ter next time. You have to have a short memory.” The pitching may have not been what Greater Pittston was looking for, but their offense was keeping them in the game. Nick O’Brien led off the sixth inning and reached first on a throwing error. Carey followed with a single, and McDermott doubled to score O’Brien and get Greater Pittston within 10-5. A Nowicki sacrifice fly scored Carey before Ronnie Musto singled to score McDermott and get GP within 10-7. After a double by Murphy, PJ Bone drew a walk to load the bases. Matt Carroll then delivered a double to clear the bases and tie the game at 10-10. Trent Grove then walked and Andre Harris delivered a single to give GP an 11-10 lead headed to the seventh inning. Nowicki came in to relieve Anthony Bellino, who was in line for the win after relieving Eramo, in the top of the seventh. But Back Mt. got to the Wyoming Area grad for two runs to take a 12-11 lead into the bottom of the seventh. The turn in momentum didn’t bode fell for Greater Pittston as both McDermott and Nowicki grounded out to start the inning. But with Musto stepping up to the plate, the defending WVALL champs still had a shot. And the Pittston Area slugger delivered. Musto hit a bomb that carried all the way into the back parking lot at Atlas for a homerun to tie the game at 12-12. Greater Pittston had a shot to win the game after the next two batters walked, but Back Mt. retired the final hitter to send the game to extra innings. But the umpires suspended the game until a later date citing the length and impending darkness.

out of here with four district (crowns), and you can’t say anyone has won any more. They have more gold than Boccardo’s. This group will always mean a lot to me. I am very proud of them. I will remember them for a long time.” OF 5, Greenwood 3
The way the post-season has gone for the Old Forge softball team, it should have been no surprise that the Blue Devils scored the winning run in its 5-3 victory over Greenwood in the opening round of the PIAA Class 1A Championships on a mistake – its own mistake. The Blue Devils forced the Wildcats into three mistakes of their own after a base running misstep led to two fifth-inning runs that propelled Old Forge into the Eastern Semis for the third time in four years in a game at Lebanon Valley College on Monday afternoon. Facing the District 3 champions, the Blue Devils pushed a run across in the top of the second when Lindsay Regan reached on a fielder’s choice, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on an RBI single by Sarah Fish to give Old Forge a 1-0 lead. The Blue Devils then added to its lead in the top of the third when Andi Alsalahat broke out of an 0-for-9 slump with a mammoth two-run home run which cleared the scoreboard in left field at LVC to put Old Forge ahead 3-0. The shot, which traveled some 225-feet, scored Lauren Carey who had reached on an error. Winning-pitcher Nicole Marianelli – who has pitched brilliantly during the Blue Devils four-game playoff winning streak – retired the first eight batters of the game before Greenwood scored a run in the bottom of the third on an error by the Blue Devils, a bloop single just out of the reach of second baseman Briah Carling, and a double by leadoff hitter AJ Siegel to get within 3-1. The Wildcats then tied the game in the fourth with two unearned runs after a leadoff walk, coupled with a fielder’s choice, a single, an error and two passed balls tied the game at 3-3. But Old Forge turned momentum back in its favor thanks to some confusion by both teams. Taylor Nemetz reached on an error to start the fifth and Carey followed with a sharp single back up the middle bringing Alsalahat to the plate. The Blue Devils leading hitter ripped a shot down the third base line that Selena Shaffer snagged and stepped on third to force Nemetz but her throw to first to try and get the double play was late, setting up Old Forge with firstand-second with one out. And then the fun started. Marianelli roped a single to center which should have scored Carey. But the
freshman centerfielder stopped at third with Alsalahat chugging behind her. Caught halfway between second and third when Alsalahat realized Carey was still at third, the senior shortstop headed back to second. Greenwood pitcher Anna Heggenstaller who cut the throw from centerfielder Autumn Pellman ran at Alsalahat before throwing to second base. When the throw was made, Carey sprinted for home. The throw home was late and Old Forge led 4-3. But the play was not over. Alsalahat moved to third on the throw home, and Marianelli took off for second base. When Greenwood tried to get Marianelli at second, Alsalahat took off for home, and scored on another late throw to push the Blue Devils ahead, 5-3. Marianelli then got out of bases-loaded jam in the sixth when Alsalahat simultaneously caught a pop-up while stepping on second base for an inning-ending double play. Then in the seventh, Marianelli induced a fielder’s choice and a groundout to Alsalahat at short with runners at first-andsecond to end the game. Marianelli did not allow an earned run in seven innings as the senior scattered eight hits and two walks. She also added two hits and a stolen base.

Veteran Post 513 is ‘Licensed to Win’ Old Forge returns plethora of experience
By Matt Petrini
Dispatch Correspondent
First-year Old Forge Post 513 Senior American Legion head coach Chris Thomas is grateful for one aspect of his squad they have their driver’s licenses. The former Junior Legion skipper takes over the senior squad coaching duties as the team returns several key players – including East Stroudsburg freshman AJ Phillips, Riverside shortstop BJ Bochicchio - who is bound for Villanova - and eight players from the five-time District 2 Class 1A champion Old Forge baseball team. “I don’t have to worry about them getting to the games like I did when I was with the Junior Legion,” Thomas quipped. “They have their driver license now.” “We hope to remain compet-
itive. We are an older squad with a lot of veteran talent.” Joining the core of Phillips, Bochicchio, and the eight Old Forge players – Dave Argust, Connor Fultz, Russ McGlynn, Dom Avvisato, Michael Long, Ian Nemetz, Dave Chromey and Derek Drasba – are a group from Pittston Area, Riverside and Scranton Prep. Thomas hopes his depth will allow Post 513 to make a solid run in the Wyoming Valley American Legion League. Starting at catcher will be Pittston Area junior Tyler Loftus. Loftus, who was more of a role player for the Patriots this past season, but will be counted on to play a majority of the innings behind the plate for Old Forge. At first base will be Avvisato, a three-year starter at the position for Old Forge. Avvisato
will be counted on to supply power in the middle of the order. Already in his first legion game of the season, Avvisato slugged two home runs and collected four RBI in Post 513’s 14-2 onslaught win against Northwest. McGlynn will play second base, and also see time playing third base this season. He gives Post 513 a versatile infielder who is a contact hitter at the plate. Bochicchio, a three-year standout at Riverside, will be counted on to anchor the infield at shortstop. Bochicchio batted .521 including three home runs for the Vikings despite being pitched around by a majority of the teams in the Lackawanna League. Flutz will make the short trip from to third base for the legion team. The Old Forge shortstop batted .308 with 13 RBI during
his senior season.. Positioned in the outfield for Post 513 will be Phillips in left, Long in center and Scranton Prep’s Billy Preston in right. Preston is a Duryea resident. Other outfielders on the roster include Argust, Nemetz, Drasba, Jeff Jurosky of Holy Cross, and Riverside’s Alec Parcinski. Post 513 should be solid on the mound as well with Phillips, Nemetz, Chromey, Drasba, and Pittston Area’s Chuck Bressler and Brandon Pernot all having performed at a high level at the varsity level. Also on the pitching staff will be Prep’s Ryan Fletcher and Michael Swantek. Fletcher is a Moosic resident and Swantek resides in Duryea. “Our outlook is great,” said Thomas. “We expect to compete and win. We have a lot of experience and were ready to see what happens this season.”

However, Muncy was able to get the final out to end another memorable season for the Blue Devils. “These seniors have won a lot of medals, and I told them to look back in a few years at their accomplishments and feel proud,” DiMattia said.

Goodall was charged with the loss despite allowing just two earned runs on six hits, three walks and four hit batsmen in 5.1 innings of work. He did strike out seven Indians in his final career start. Dispatch staff writer Rick Notari contributed to this report.

Senior Sentiments
The day has finally arrived. This article marks my last hurrah at sharing my senior sentiments with you via the Sunday Dispatch. In grasping for a parting thought, I considered my purpose in writing this article in the first place. It began as a way to earn some hours for my senior project, but turned into something much more fulfilling: a means of speaking, reaching an audience, and perhaps even inspiring a reader or two. But know that you do not need a newspaper column to do this; all that is necessary is your voice and the willingness to speak. There are thousands of things one might fear when it comes to speaking one’s mind: rejection, misunderstandings, choosing the wrong words, stuttering, not making a clear point, etc. When offering your voice to an audience of one or one thousand, it is important to focus not on what could go wrong, but on what could go right. Impacting the life of a listener, saying something worth remembering, or simply teaching a lesson

In addition, rescue personnel risk their own lives each time they respond to such an incident. To warn people about the dangers of these sites, The DEP has partnered with the federal Mine Safety Health Administration (MSHA), other mining states, and the mining industry to promote the “Stay Out, Stay Alive” program.

are just a few of many good things that can happen as a result of speaking your mind. Practice choosing risk over caution now and then. Pick courage over fear, confidence over self-doubt, and optimism over pessimism. This is not an easy task, especially if you have been rooted in the latter choices for any amount of time. But as most things go, it can be done. Letting your inner voice be heard, through any means or media, gives you the opportunity to practice each of the aforementioned choices. Remember to believe in the words that you are speaking. If you don’t, then what reason do others have to believe in you? Know that nothing you say is insignificant. It might not translate into a miraculous message for your
entire audience, but if it affects a single listener, your speaking feat is worthwhile. If you receive feedback after sharing your voice, take it into consideration. If it is praise, appreciate it. Accept it. Do not be afraid to tell yourself that you deserve it. If the feedback is criticism, listen to it. Take it as a constructive way to improve how you convey ideas to others. Even within the harshest critiques, a chance for advancement is present. Most importantly, stay true to yourself. Do not conform to the beliefs of other people just because they might not agree with what you have to say. Your words might prove to be important to your audience, but they are vital to you. Let them always reflect who you are.
never faltered in inspiring me and encouraging me to write, to share this voice with others. For this, I am eternally grateful. I must also thank you, the readers of this article, for offering me an outlet for my thoughts each week. Thank you for hearing me, for listening; I hope that sometime throughout these past few months, my words have struck a chord in your hearts or minds. Farewell and warm regards to you all.
