That’s my boy over there.

He’s 24 and works at an ad agency in Boulder, Co. This is his Father’s Day gift to me.

Being a man isn’t easy.

There’s no step-by-step manual to teach someone.

Sure, there are guidelines.

The Bible’s certainly a good one to look to for advice. But there’s a whole lot of other stuff packed in there that might cloud the manly tutelage. And it’s certainly not the “Be a Man For Dummies” we all need.

Instead, we’re left to learn from the world around us, to pick up pieces of wisdom here and there from wherever we can.

This is risky. Especially when we turn to things like the evening news. More especially when the headline story details the less than personal photography exploits of a US Congressman. Or the tragic, moral fall of a golf legend. Or an A-list celebrity’s chaotic obsession with “winning.”

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 2011

How to be a man It’s more like we’re surrounded with limitless examples of how not to be a man.

But amidst the sex scandals and steroids, we find a few glimmers of hope. A handful of men doing everything they can to ensure that we, who are on our way to manhood, do it the right way. I just happen to be lucky enough to have one such man for a father.

And on this Father’s Day, I can think of no better way to thank him for every lesson he’s given me than to relay a few of them to you.

Lesson One: Be a Tag Tucker. This one’s fairly straightforward. A Tag Tucker is someone who will assist a friend, family member, or even a complete stranger in tucking a shirt tag neatly beneath the collar from which it rebelliously escaped. Awkward, yes. But most definitely appreciated.

And a Tag Tucker does more than tuck tags. He holds open doors. He gives up his seat for a young mother on a crowded

bus. He minds his Ps and Qs. Always. He’s polite and friendly with everyone he deals with, from the mailman to the CEO. He’s an ear when you want one, a shoulder when you need one, and a steward of positivity.

If you’re looking to be a man, start first by being a Tag Tucker.

Lesson Two: Eat the green Lifesavers. Many of you may be familiar with this concept.

For those who aren’t and are soon expecting to be fathers, you will be. You see, in some sort of cruel ploy, the Lifesavers company decided to stock each roll with anywhere between two and four green candies. No one likes these. Least of all your kids. And it’s your job as a good dad to eat these so that junior can get his hands on the cherry one waiting on deck.

Well, life is filled with green Lifesavers. And to be a man, you need to be willing to take them without complaint, to endure a few hardships so others won’t have to. Sometimes

it’s as simple as eating the nasty candy. Often times, it’s not. It’s taking an extra shift at work to give a buddy a much-needed break. It’s helping your kids with algebra after a long day at the office. It’s sitting through your niece’s dance recital. I know, that one sounds almost unbearable. But bear it. Because you can’t truly be a man without being willing to sacrifice.

Lesson Three: Be a cheerleader. No, you don’t have to wear a skirt and shake pompoms. Unless, of course, you choose to. That’s your own business. But you do need to be enthusiastically supportive of the important people in your life: your wife, your girlfriend, your kids, your parents. Be their biggest fan.

The love and support you funnel their way will help them more than you know. Trust me.

Lesson Four: Love too much.

Where lessons One through Three will all greatly help you on your journey toward man-

VOL. 65, NO. 19 Editorial /Letters .............................................14 Maria Heck........................................................15 Nutrition............................................................15 Peeking into the Past......................................17 Gift to Irish Embassy .....................................32

hood, lesson four is the clincher. To be a man, a real man, you need to be willing to give of yourself so fully that it hurts.

To everyone.

Tip your waitress a little too generously. Find the time to volunteer to help those who really need it. Play a game of catch with your ten-year-old neighbor when he’s looking glum. Shovel your mom’s snow-covered sidewalk – even if she lives ten miles away.

Do all of these things with a smile. Love is infectious. The more you give, the more it will spread.

If when your time as man comes to a close you can say, “I loved almost too much,” then you’ve accomplished something truly beautiful.

These aren’t the only lessons you’ll need. They’re just a good start. I’ve had nearly 25 years to begin to learn these lessons.

And I’m still learning them.

Turns out, learning to be a man isn’t as easy as it sounds.

Luckily, I have a good teacher.

After 143 years, St. Mary’s Assumption School closes for good

By Jack Smiles

Associate Editor

W

hen St. Mary’s Assumption School on the corner of Church and Carroll streets let out classes for the last time on Thursday all that was left were the memories and the history. And after a run of 143 years, there are a lot both.

Perhaps no one is intertwined in that history more than Dorothy Williams. Not only was her maternal grandfather Frank Baumgartner on the committee that built the school in 1924, her paternal grandparents John and Elizabeth Boos sold the land for the school to Rev. M. J. Hoban Bishop of the Scranton Diocese in 1908.

Though family lore holds that Boos donated the land, the deed shows it was sold. In any case, the diocese got a deal because the lot was big enough for a school and a convent.

Williams graduated from St. Mary’s as did her five children and they are among the 10 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and four great-great grandchildren of Frank Baumgartner and John Boos to attend St. Mary’s.

The four great-great grandchildren, three sons and one daughter of Mark and Michael Skutack, were St. Mary’s students when the school closed on Thursday.

Williams, 72, was Dorothy Boos when she grew up on Carroll Street next door to the convent which sits behind the

church on the land her grandfather sold in 1908.

She said having a dozen or so nuns for neighbors was not a problem. “They were just like regular neighbors,” she said.

She moved away and lived in Philadelphia, New York and West Wyoming, before moving back to the homestead when her

‘Miz’ will showcase his talent at Northeast Fair Pittston-raised guitarist has achieved success nationally With Ryan O’Malley

For someone who is just 27years-old, Pittston-raised guitarist Mike Mizwinski has quite an impressive resume. From being a fixture in the local scene, to national tours from coast to coast playing with the likes of moe., Jackie Greene, and Derek Trucks, Mizwinski has experienced more than many other musicians get to in their entire lifetimes.

While many artists who get a feel for the national scene tend to forget their roots, the young musician chose to concentrate more on his original material, which he says is where his passion is.

Recently, the Dispatch met with the thriving musician – who mostly goes by Miz – to discuss his career in music and preview his upcoming co-headlining show with Cabinet this Friday at the Northeast Fair.

Mike `'Miz' Mizwinski, Pittston-rasied guitarist with national acclaim, will play Friday night at the Northeast Fair.

ily. Both my aunt and uncle play in a band, Old Friends. My mom and my dad met in music school at Marywood University. So I was in my mom’s tummy while they were practicing for choir and stuff like that. I think that had a lot to do with it – getting into it through my family.

Growing up, did you always veer towards playing guitar, with the influence of your father and his playing?

I think it was both sides of the

family – but that’s all I ever wanted to do, was play guitar. I can’t even remember not wanting to do that. It was all I was good at (laugh).

Starting off, how did you learn?

My dad. Eventually, I took some lessons from Robbie Walsh, who is a great guitar player from the area.

Frank Parra, 62, is father to a busy five-year-old daughter ever happened in my life.”

Parra said while younger fathers may have more energy, so far he’s been able to keep up.

“They say she’ll keep you young and there’s some truth to that. We do things together. We fish, toss a ball around. When she went to her first field hockey practice she didn’t know any of the kids

and I guess she was a little scared. I had to get out there and hit the ball with her.”

Parra is the Wyoming Area high school athletic director, a job which keeps him active and helps him bond with Ellie.

“She’ll go to softball games with me and be in the dugout. We go to volleyball games. So she’s

right there with me a lot.”

Parra has a daughter from his first marriage, Michelle, who is 28 and has a three-year-old son Blake. Ellie is his aunt. They sometimes have play dates.

“It’s kind of a unique situation,” Parra said, “but I’ve been blessed to have some great ladies involved in my life.”

t an age when most men are going to Little League games and dance recitals to watch their grandchildren, Frank Parra, 62, is doing the same – with his fiveyear-old daughter, Ellie.

Ellie is a T-ball player, dance student and a violin student.

Parents whom Parra interacts with and who don’t know him often assume he is Ellie’s grandfather. “Sometimes,” Parra said, “they say, ‘oh, your granddaughter is cute or a good dancer’ or something, and I’ll say, ‘thank you, but that’s my little girl.’ They may be a little embarrassed at first, but in the long run they think it’s pretty neat.”

Parra was 57 when Ellie was born to his second wife, Maria, who was 46 and had been advised by doctors she was unlikely to conceive.

Parra believes he and his wife got help from above. “Before Ellie was born my mother died,” he said. “Sometimes when one door closes, God opens another.”

Dr. Gerald Gibbons broke the news that the door had opened.

Maria went to see Gibbons in the spring of 2005 with cramps. “I remember they sent her for a million tests to find out what was wrong,” Parra said. “Then Gerry called me and said Frank, are you sitting down? I think Maria is pregnant.”

Though the pregnancy was considered high risk and Maria went weekly to see a specialist in Allentown, her daughter was born on February 8, 2006, without complications.

They named her Eliana which is Hebrew for The Lord has Responded or God’s Gift, something Parra, a Catholic, truly believes. “I know every child is special, but she is like a gift from God. She’s the greatest thing that

FACTS OF LAW

By Dominick P. Pannunzio, Esq. New York is the first state in the United States to extend to domestic workers basic rights such as overtime pay, paid leave and protection from workplace discrimination.

All of the state’s roughly 200,000 such workers, regardless of their immigration status, are protected under the new law. *** A New Jersey state appellate court has upheld the forfeiture of a man’s 62 guns because he is a “habitual drunkard.” State law says a person who is a habitual drunk should not be allowed to have guns. *** A new law allows younger teens to give blood in Oklahoma. Currently you must be 17 years of age or older, but 16-yearolds will now be able to donate with parental consent. *** The Fifth District Court of Appeals in California has upheld an ordinance requiring developers to protect one acre of farmland for every acre they convert to large-scale residential use. *** The new federal law has tax breaks for producing TV shows and grants for putting up windmills, as well as rum subsidies for Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

There is even a tax break for people who buy racehorses. Homeowners who don’t itemize their deductions will lose a tax break for paying local property taxes.

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 2011 PAGE 14

OUR OPINION Advice to Dads: be there What makes a good father?

In our opinion a good father would rather give than receive. Sure a father would be happy to get a card today or maybe a good cigar or a bottle of wine, but he’d much rather give and do for his kids without expecting gifts in return.

Today may be Father’s Day, but to a good father every day is Kid’s Day. And a good father to us is one who is interested in what his kids are doing and we don’t mean feigned oh- I -have-to-goto-this-recital-when-I -could- be-golfing interest.

A good father learns about his kid’s interests and is surprised sometimes that what they do really is interesting.

Above all a good father is one who is there. At the recital, the ball game, the school program and most importantly at home. Sure we’re all busy, but too busy to be there for our own kids?

That’s a moral failing in our book.

Absent fathers are the primary predictors of all kinds of social ills that affect children: poor grades, dropping out, unemployment, welfare dependency, poverty, crime, drug use, promiscuity, etc.

And the children of absent fathers are much more likely to become absent fathers themselves.

Millions of our fellow citizens are in juvenile and adult prisons in America. What percentage of them do you suppose grew up in two-parent households? It’s hard to quantify, but by some estimates it’s as low as 30 percent. And it is estimated that onefifth of them have fathers who did prison time.

Single mothers are often held up as heroes and in many cases they are. But just about any single mother would admit she could use the help of a partner to raise children.

It takes two parents to raise a kid who will have a good shot at a productive adult life. A child who will become an adult who is a benefit to our society and culture.

We may laugh when we hear of a millionaire athlete who has a string of kids with different wives in different cities.

Such an athlete may be so rich he can support all these kids financially. But what kind of support is that, really?

Support to us is moral support.

It’s being there.

It’s being a Dad. So, happy Father’s day to all you dads out there.

And remember it will be happier if you are just there.

YOUR OPINION

Feeling good as WP sewer project nears its end Friends and fellow readers, Mondays and Tuesdays haven’t been too kind to me as of late. However, on Monday May 9, I woke up to bright sunshine and blue skies, which has been a rarity in the past few months. My dogwoods were in bloom, and the lilac trees that my late parents planted around our home before I was born were looking and smelling wonderful. And if that wasn’t enough, my big surprise came when I walked out to the front of my house and saw a freshly paved Philadelphia Avenue.

The sewer project has had its share of problems and has put a strain on a lot of WP residents. But it looks like the project is coming to an end, and the past is the past. On that Monday, I stood out in front of the home where I grew up and saw a beautiful day and a street free of potholes and debris. It was truly a good day.

Where do we begin? Collectively, we represent approximately 300 years of service in the parochial school system. Ironically, we are having difficulty finding just the right words to express our sincere thanks to our school family. The last two months have been emotional for everyone, especially our parents and student whose support is unmeasured.

St. Mary’s Assumption has prided itself on spiritual growth and academic excellence since its humble beginnings with the Sisters of Christian Charity. A most sincere thank you goes out to all of the Sisters, the former pastors of St. Mary’s Assumption,

and the pastors of the Greater Pittston Area who served faithfully on a weekly basis to ensure our children celebrated the sacraments at Liturgy. We have modeled our mission statement of sending forth faith-filled, life-long learners. And, we have taught our students to become actively involved in the life of their community by serving those less fortunate. Our parents, family, and friends have always demonstrated their undying support, dedication, and love for any activity or event connected with St. Mary’s Assumption. We have worn the Challenger name proudly.

Thanksgiving in June

more freedom than a blind alley cat. Some days I quite literally forget where I left him and am somewhat surprised when he turns up, mid-day, for a financial handout in order to purchase a glazed donut. Usually I blink, stare and exclaim: “Oh! THERE you are! I thought you were in the attic for the past 9 hours…”

So thankful that my 20 years as a mother has allowed me to hone and refine my bullshit detector to rival the finest counter-intelligence agent.

For instance, when my older son says: “Okay, Mom…here’s my idea. Just hear me out…” it is always, always about something he wants, not needs, and requires either my signature, my credit card or my fingerprints and may include a car, a computer, an apartment or a lemur. As soon as I hear, “…here’s my idea…” in that tone – you know the one – I shut down and hide my wallet. But not my anti-psychotic medication.

So thankful that I have a job that makes me sincerely happy … and happier still that I’m not required to arrive until noon!

Everyone who knows me knows I crave sleep more than I crave baked potatoes with sour cream and that, my friends, is monumental. I’ve always been a late-riser and this job allows me that luxury.

The downside is that I am checking-out books to patrons who are averting their gaze from my sheetmarked face and sandman-encrusted eyes on a daily basis.

I think it makes them sick, but they want their books and are too politically correct to point out the fact that I’m still wearing my slippers.

I’m always thankful when I find a surprise consisting of my missing underpants or special socklettes as I’m making my bed and they present themselves from the corners of my fitted sheets. It’s like Christmas.

I am thankful that assorted individuals caught in my crosshairs endure my monotonous and mindnumbing rants about nutrition and weight-loss and have the good manners not to mention the chunk of Cheeto stuck to the area of my sweater where my boob used to be.

Hypocrite? Yes. Hypocrite who loves pretend cheese products that glow in the dark? Double yes.

I’m thankful that the curve balls thrown our way over the last few years were caught and thrown back.

I’m thankful my husband and kids still like me, sort-of, and that my friends seem to have staying power.

I choose to have a glass half full, not half empty.

Sure, it’s half full of vodka, but like my future it’s clear, optimistic, offers substantial happiness if I have just enough and more than a few giggles if I have too much.

Win-win.

Maria Heck’s column, which appears in this space every other week, is always a win-win for Dispatch readers.

To wash or not ...

First let me wish each and every dad a Happy Father’s Day! Being a dad means a whole lot of different things for different dads. I know that for my dad it meant having fun, but he also took the job seriously as there were six of us!

My Dad was an avid reader. He always clipped out newsworthy information to share with each one of us on topics that he felt we needed to know more about. This would be one clipping I am sure that he would have cut out and posted on the refrigerator for all to read! Washing food, does it promote food safety? Certainly one would agree that washing fruits and vegetables is a must as they are grown near the ground where animals, insects and even birds may contaminate the produce. Or they are picked and handled by numerous people before they arrive in our grocery basket. What about meat, should we be washing our meats?

Traditionally I can’t ever remember someone recommending that we wash our beef burger before tossing it on the grill; however I do not some that insist upon washing chicken cutlets.

USDA does not recommend washing any raw poultry, beef, pork, lamb, or veal before cooking it. Bacteria in raw meat and poultry juices can be spread to other foods, utensils and surfaces, otherwise known as cross contamination. The best way to remove bacteria is to cook it until the bacteria is killed. How do you know when it is killed?

For beef, veal, lamb and now pork (steaks, roasts and chops) they are killed at 145 degrees. Cook poultry until it reaches 165 degrees. Cook ground beef burgers; cook until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees.

Be wise when preparing your food to eat. If you want to learn even more, visit www.fsis.usda.gov and search on Washing Food: Does it Promote Food Safety? For more educational materials please visit our web site at www. http://luzerne.extension.psu.edu.

One of my dad’s favorite desserts was chocolate cookies with white chocolate chunks. I changed the recipe a bit to include white whole wheat flour now that it is available in the grocery stores. Select chocolate with higher amounts of cacao for an extra boost of phytochemicals. Substitute 4 egg whites to reduce the cholesterol.

Chocolate Cookies

4 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate- choose with higher amounts of cacao 2 cup white whole wheat flour 1/1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar 3/4 butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs (or 4 egg whites) 12 ounces white chocolate, chopped or1package (12 ounces) white chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt unsweetened chocolate according to package directions; cool.

Combine flours, baking powder in bowl. Beat brown sugar, butter and vanilla in another bowl with electric mixer. Add eggs, beat until well blended. Beat in melted chocolate. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in white chocolate. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 11 to 12 minutes or just until set. Cool. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen cookies.

So many things have occurred lately that have me questioning … well, life in general, I guess.

Startling things, sad things, thinks that make you go “hmmmm…or, huh?? or ughhh…”

But mostly, I have to say, these occurrences have made me realize, with excruciating clarity, just how lucky I am. How much I need to wake-up every, single morning and think: “Life is good, baby, life is good.”

Sadly, we sometimes must experience a good swift kick to open our eyes in observance of life’s little gifts. Sure, the past two years have been a tad challenging, but compared to the uphill battles and blinding grief that have visited too many people to count lately, I’ve proclaimed my life to be one big Whine-Free Zone, starting now. (Side note: My son just helpfully inserted the thought that I should add Cranky-Free Zone as well. Everybody’s a comedian at the Sanitarium).

I’ve decided that it’s ridiculous to wait until Thanksgiving to mentally notate my gratitude and appreciations, for all things big and small. We all really need to stop the complaining, stop the backbiting, stop the petty bull-crap, stop the silly and punitive letters to the editor, put on our big girl pants and big boy jock and get busy every day to just say thanks, out loud and with oomph … and make sure you believe it.

And make sure you live it.

And make sure you share it.

Every day, I’m thankful for: The fact that I did not die of breast cancer.

I shudder to think what would become of my children or home if I did succumb. I know that my husband would never be able to grocery shop on his own, for example. On an atypical grocery trek recently, I sent him to Gerrity’s grasping a list with ONE ITEM upon it. One. I have to split it into increments or I end up with a two week supply of Twizzlers and Middleswarth and four jars of olives.

I asked him to buy one bag of baby spinach.

That’s all. He called me at work twice. Once to ask if I meant a box of frozen spinach and once to confirm that I wanted a “bushel of basil”. I kid you not.

Needless to say, we had no spinach salad for dinner that evening, but we had plenty of lettuce, oregano, zucchini and cucumbers. Apparently “spinach” is code for anything greenish in the produce department. Can you imagine if I asked for two pounds of spare ribs? We would’ve had Milk Bones for dinner.

I am so thankful that, post-colonoscopy, my deposits have been healthy and on-schedule. Dr. Oz has instructed me that if my dumpage has the dismount and delivery of an Acapulco sky-diver, I am in excellent shape.

Now, I just have to stop screaming “SCORE!” with unbridled glee every time it all works-out in my favor. Especially at work.

I am thankful I’ve dramatically relaxed my hyper-vigilant parenting style so much so that my middle son is coasting and my youngest has, by default,

Northeast Fair opens Tuesday; Family Day Friday Shawn Klush as Elvis Wednesday ‘beautiful babies’ on Saturday

By Mary Therese Biebel

mbiebel@timesleader.com

D

o you bake a mean angel-food cake? How about an apple pie?

Is there a “beautiful baby” in your family? Or a beat-up jalopy in your garage?

If you enjoy competing in just about any fashion, don’t worry.

The Northeast Fair, which begins Tuesday at the fairgrounds in Pittston Township, probably has a contest for you.

The apple-pie contest, for example, will take place at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, and the angelfood cakes will be judged at 7:30 p.m. June 24.

The “beautiful babies” will be admired at 2:30 p.m. June 25, and cars that have seen better days can get in their last licks at demolition derbies June 24-25.

“There are local people who bring their old, beat-up cars,” fair spokeswoman Donna BirosKuzminski said. “They have a blast.”

Other popular aspects of the fair include piglets — “They’re such cute little oinkers,” BirosKuzminski said — that race around a track, a petting zoo, 25 amusement rides and “Buffo, the World’s Strongest Clown,” whose voice mail cheerfully explains, “I’m out clowning around or pumping iron.”

Among the biggest draws, fair chairman Joe Pupa said, are hypnosis demonstrations by Ron Diamond from Montgomery, Ala. “People line up an hour before the shows start, to get a good seat,” Pupa said.

Here, too, there’s a touch of competitive spirit. As Diamond explained in a telephone interview, many audience members become quite eager to participate, but not everyone is a good candidate for hypnosis.

“By the time my pre-show is complete, I’ve got a handle for whether they’re a good candidate. They’ve basically done a self-elimination,” Diamond said, explaining a good candidate must have the ability to relax, maintain focus and take suggestions.

“Put those three together,” he said.

About 3 percent of the population possesses those qualities to such an extent they can have sur-

gery using hypnosis rather than anesthesia, he said. Another 20 percent has those qualities to a

lesser degree, enough to take part in his show.

The rest of the approximately 80 percent of the population can’t be hypnotized, said Diamond, who likes to share the science of the procedure with his audiences.

“The first myth I break down is the TV myth, and the movie myth, that people go into a trance. ‘Trance’ would imply they are under control.

On stage with Diamond, people might do something like imitate a favorite pop star or shake their arms in response to a stimulus.

They wouldn’t do anything, he said, that was outside the bounds of their personal ethics.

“They’re validated by the audience, because the audience is having fun with them – not at them, but with them,” he said.

Another reward is the good

feeling supplied by a “massive rush” of endorphins. “It’s like being on drugs – your body’s natural drugs, nothing artificial,” he said.

This year’s fair entertainment also includes Elvis tribute artist Shawn Klush , who will perform at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, a Billy Joel /Elton John tribute at 7:30 and 9:45 p.m. Thursday, the music of Cabinet and Miz at 7:30 p.m. June 24, a reunion of the band Dakota at 8 p.m. June 25 and Joe Stanky and his Cadets at 7:30 p.m. June 26.

“It’s just about the best value you can get for $9 a person,” Biros-Kuzminski said. “You can stay all day and go on the rides.

In this economic time you don’t want to spend tons of money, and you can get advance tickets that are only $6 at many banks and credit unions.”

Peeking into the past

Question #1 After purchasing the Lincoln Theatre in 1959, Joseph Burgio discovered something special in an old pretzel can found With Judy Minsavage inside the theater. What was it?

1961 – 50 Years Ago The Visiting Nurse Association of Pittston prepared to celebrate its 50th year of service to the area. An open house was held at the YMCA auditorium with Mrs. S.A. Shoemaker as general chairwoman. Some of the committee members were Minnie McClellan, Mrs. John Loughney, Mrs. C.J. Bufalino, Elizabeth Moffatt, Mrs. Harold Wrubel, Mrs. Esther Tinsley, and Mrs. Harold Flannery.

According to jstor.org, prior to the start of VNA in Pittston, Mary E. Judge R.N. was the only visiting nurse in Pittston. Alice H. McCormac was the first supervisor and in 1913, Helen Uder was added to the staff.

Pittston High School held its 75th annual commencement of 133 graduates. Various cash awards for excellence went to Bonnie Johns, Johanna Guarnieri, Mary Ann Verbitsky, Phyllis Faccipointi, Carol Savadge, Mary Colarusso, Margaret DeAngelo, Patricia Ann Butera, Judith Vierbowski, Ann De Rosa, Jeanne Whyte, Joseph Keating and Angelo Marcino.

Various medals in music art and journalism were awarded to Thomas McCrone, Thomas Shannon, Florence DeMarco, Patricia Butera, Jeanne Whyte, Charlene Polit, Florence DeMarco, Rosina Bellanco and Paul Yarolin.

The Sunday Dispatch Hunting and Fishing columnist, Joe Koval, related the story of how smallmouth black bass came to be introduced to the Susquehanna River. “Our river had plenty of shad, eels and walleye, but no bass. The smallmouth black bass was native to Canada, the Tennessee water shed and the Potomac River. Some railroading fishermen captured and brought the fish by train and deposited them in the Susquehanna. The fish quickly propagated now provide good angling for our local fishermen.”

1981 – 30 Years Ago Linda Shannon of Pittston was the winner of the third annual Edmund J. Toole Father’s Day Essay Contest. Her essay, Why My Father Is Special to Me, was chosen from over 200 essays submitted by sixth grade students in the Pittston and Wyoming Area School Districts. The contest was named in honor of the father of Jaycee member Wil Toole. Linda received a $50 savings bond and her father Robert accepted a plaque.

The Annual UNICO all-star football game pitting the east against the west was in its 29th year. The contest scheduled for the Wyoming Area Stadium would see ten Warriors and five Patriots appearing. Jack Goldowski, Al Michalec, Mike Sobeski, Tom Nowakowski and Joe Mantione were slated for the east while Guy Selenski, Thomas Langan, Lou Ciampi, Charles Yozwiak, Howard Rudd, Todd Piatnik, Lou Sebastian, Paul Havrilla, Anthony Angeli, and Rich Morgan for the west.

Kim Keiper of West Wyoming was the reigning Miss UNICO in 1981.

In its 61st year it is estimated that UNICO has raised $250,000 for local charities. According to their web site unicowb.com, UNICO is an acronym for Unity, Neighbor, Integrity, Charity and Opportunity and is the largest ItalianAmerican Service Organization in the United States. Leo J. Sperrazza is the current president of the local chapter.

The Wyoming Area Girls Softball team coached by Sandra Chiampi had reason to be proud of their 1981 season.

They advanced to the semi-finals in state competition and posted a 21-4 overall record coming within one game of making it into the state finals. In that semi-final game the team lost to North Penn who went on to clinch the title.

Jim Blaskiewicz, Tony Saraceno and Mike Clonan were in Cherry Hill, New Jersey attending the Bobby Knight OneMan Coaches Clinic. Hoping to run into Knight, one of the most controversial basketball coaches in the NCAA, the three men along with many other attendees of the clinic, hung around the hotel lobby. Blaskiewicz peeked into the hotel restaurant and was surprised to see the Indiana Hoosiers coach dining with former basketball coach from Pittston Area Jack Gallagher. The men approached the table and were warmly received by both men. Gallagher invited the three men to have dinner with him and Knight that evening, capping off a memorable trip. Knight who won 902 NCAA Division I men’s college basketball games announced his retirement in February of 2008.

1991 – 20 Years Ago The Business and Professional Women’s Club conducted its final meeting.

Organized in 1947, the club began with

a membership of 75, which over the years dwindled. The Red Cross, Salvation Army, Pittston Hospital School of Nursing, and Visiting Nurses Association were just some of the beneficiaries of the countless projects, services and awards the club sponsored. Some of the women who served as president over the years were, Sarah Thomas, Neva Uhlitz, Edythe Walsh, Rose Bianco, Nadine Holleran, Margaret O’Boyle, Dolores Sciandra and Ann Corey.

As members of the Golden Voices, George and Helen Harmanos, Kay Haddock, Marge Zinkavich, Marcella Fountain, Mary Michaels, Emma Ziobro, Julia Gregus, Anna Duzen, Florence Nametko, Mary Dirhan, Agnes Podwika, Jake and Agnes Konopka, Mary Yonki, Maryann Jakubca, Louise Worokoski, Agnes Endrusick, Josephine DeMecio, Monica Skolnick, John and Jean Yurek, enjoyed bringing smiles to the faces of the people they entertained. Members of the Cosmopolitan Seniors Club, the Golden Voices sang selections and brought joy to the residents of local nursing homes.

Exhibiting heroism and valor, Sgt. Christopher Pakutka of Duryea received the Air Medal with Valor and the Bronze Star while serving as a helicopter pilot with Palehorse Troop, 4th Squadron, 2nd Armored Cavalry regiment of VII Corps in Operation Desert Storm. With great courage, Sgt. Pakutka demonstrated exceptional ability under direct enemy fire in an offensive against the Iraqi Republican Guard.

Sgt Pakutka was chosen by his unit to represent the 2nd Armored Cavalry regiment as Standard Bearer in parades held in Washington DC and New York Answer #1 After he purchased the Lincoln Theater in Dupont in 1959, Joseph Burgio found a neatly stored American flag inside an old pretzel can. Joseph presented it to the girls drill team sponsored

by Post 4909 Auxiliary in Dupont. The girls proudly carried the flag in the Heritage Division during a parade held in Berwick in 1961.

Answer #2 According to the United State Census Bureau, there are 70.1 million fathers estimated living in America.

“He is nice, kind and generous, he doesn’t give me everything I want, but he gives me what he can and that is what’s important.” Excerpt from 1981 winning essay, Why My Father Is Special to Me, by Linda Shannon of Pittston

1971 – 40 Years Ago Eighth grade students at St. John the Evangelist School thought of a way they could revisit 1971 upon their graduation in 1975. Classmates collected samples

of tap water, river water, baseball standings, top forty songs, photographs, an issue of the Sunday Dispatch along with headlines of the day and placed the items in a time capsule Dubbed the “Spirit of 75”. Sister M. Daniela McCarthy and teacher Michael Caputo sealed a large tube with the collected items inside. Mr. McGarry, father of one of the students, provided material for the capsule and our editor, Ed Ackerman, supplied the artwork.

John B. Salek, the Duryea News columnist for the Sunday Dispatch, tackled the question, “How old is the Borough of Duryea?” Salek tracked the early beginnings of the borough to 1728 when the Indian village of Assarugney was founded on the north bank of the Lackawanna River extending to Campbell’s Ledge. Known as Coxton in later years, the section was part of the first ward of Duryea Borough. To find a comprehensive account of historical information about Duryea go to www.duryeapa.com.

Josephine Mei, of 202 Susquehanna Avenue, Wyoming, enjoyed gardening as a hobby. Every year she looked forward to seeing one of her most difficult gardening challenges bloom. Her lush Clematis tree, one of the more difficult vines to cultivate, exhibited its beautiful flowers for one and a half months during the summer. Although the tree is not rare, most gardeners shy away from the challenge the tree poses, as site, soil and care requirements are numerous. Originating in Japan and China the plants were bred in Britain, France, and Germany.

Question #2 Proclaimed by the Mayor of Spokane, Washington, June 19, 1910, was the first celebration of Father’s Day. Currently how many fathers are estimated to live in the United States?

Pets of the Week

13211545 &13211562 Rachel and Georgie are two senior Pugs who were brought to the SPCA when their owner felt they could no longer care for them. Both are really sweet girls who enjoy all the love and attention they can get! Georgie has a little trouble seeing as clearly as she used to so fast movements can startle her and she’s not very high energy, but she really enjoys a lap and lots of love as you can see from her photo. Rachel is more energetic and playful. She loves to go for walks and loves to play! Both girls are a true joy and would love to stay together in their new home!

1793439 & 4872720 Harrigan and Seamus are two sweet boys who would love a home together. Both are neutered, Harrigan is 6yrs young and Seamus is 3. They love to be petted and fussed over and even like to play whenever they get the chance. They have absolutely amazing and loving personalities and cannot wait to meet their new family.

Being a father must be no easy task. I’ve never been a dad nor do I plan on being one for quite some time. But when I think about all the things my dad has done for me throughout my 20 years of life I realize that I’ve come face-to-face with a true hero.

My dad is one of those fathers that can do anything. He served his country in the Air Force right after high school and was a father at the age of 19 to my older sister Francine.

When I think about how young my father was it boggles my mind.

He was only a kid himself.

Here I am 20 years old with the full support of my parents driving around aimlessly in my Toyota Corolla without a care in the world and here my dad was already raising a family. At the age of 23 my dad had my older brother Jimmy and was always determined to give all that he could for his kids.

My dad had a successful career at the Tobyhanna Army Depot which is one of the largest employers in our area. Nowadays employers look for that degree when you are seeking a job. My dad had to rely on his work ethic and instincts which eventually landed him one of the top management positions at the depot.

At the age of 36 my dad married my mother and when my dad was 38 he had me. However, I was born three months earlier than my due date, weighed only two pounds, and wasn’t expected to make it through the night. My mom told me that my dad always called me the Powell nugget. Others would have panicked and lost control. But my dad’s will and strong faith in God assured everyone that everything was going to be okay.

Sure enough I did make it through the night and was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at the age of two. Cerebral Palsy is a condition that is caused by not gaining enough oxygen to the brain. It affects the way I walk and tasks that some people take for granted sometimes seem impossible for me to accomplish.

But my dad always assured me that nothing was impossible and that I can do anything I set my mind to. When I was told that I would never be able to ride a bike, my dad practiced with me for hours.

When I would fall my dad would smile and say “You can do it son.

Never give up.”

I never learned how to ride a bike until I was about 16 but my dad bought me a three-wheeled bike at Old Mill Pine in West Pittston. I can still remember how happy I was to join the neighborhood kids.

When I became a Boy Scout my dad was our troop leader and he was always on top of me to make sure I attended the meetings regularly and did what I needed to do. I thought it was a pain at the time but now I realize he was only trying to teach me a sense of responsibility and to always do what I said I was going to do. He spent nights working on my pinewood derby cars until they were perfect. And he pushed me to earn as many merit badges as I could.

My dad has always made it a point to make sure I was happy. When I was discouraged about not having any trophies as a kid I can still remember my dad giving me his golf trophy to make me happy.

The first days of trout season were a must for us and even if we didn’t catch anything we could always look forward to mouth watering Texas wieners from The Barrel afterwards.

As I got older I admired and appreciated what my dad continues to do for others as well. When something needs to be fixed at the church Dad gets the call. When my grandma needs help with something Dad will drop everything he is doing and will be over there in a second.

He is my hero. If I even become half the man he is I know I will be successful in life. Dad has taught me life lessons that I will carry with me long after he passes.

I love you, Dad. Happy Father’s Day!

Zachary Smith, 19, of Pittston Township, has accomplished much in his young life. By the time he turned 18, he was already a certified EMT. This past winter, after many weeks of training, he completed his fire fighting essentials class.

But that was only the beginning.

When in May he discovered that the American Red Cross was looking for EMTs to volunteer their services in the tornado ravaged towns in Alabama, Smith was on the phone minutes later, ready and willing to help.

When he received a call on May 5 that he was needed ASAP, he left that night on the 6:30 flight.

He worked in Alabama for several weeks, missing Mother’s Day with his mom and family in

Was Robbie the one who got you into the jam scene or did that come from other outlets?

It was more from my dad. He took me to see the Grateful Dead twice when I was a little kid. I saw the Dead when I was nine, and again when I was 12. I actually saw Bob Weir and Rob Wasserman at Harvey’s Lake when I was seven. That was it – the first time I saw the Dead was a life-changing experience…it was cool because I knew the songs they were playing. I was already into it at that early of an age. I already enjoyed listening to the Grateful Dead.

When did you start to realize you wanted to make a career out of playing music?

When I was 16, I started off in my first band – Appalachian Wine House Band. Right from the bat things were going really good for us. We were playing some good shows at some decent venues around here. By the time I was 17, we were playing the Scranton Cultural Center and the Mauch Chunk Opera House.

That’s when I first realized I can make a career out of this. Ever since my first band, I was just caught up in it.

The Jenkins Township Class of ’51 is planning their 60th class reunion. They are looking for anyone who might know the address of Teresa Benkoski. If you have that information, please contact Eileen at 655-1555.

Red Cross

The Wyoming Valley Chapter of The American Red Cross will be holding Learn to Swim Classes at the Forty Fort pool during the months of July and August.

Pre-registration and payment are required.

Forty Fort Pool - $60 per session (6 classes - 45 minutes each) Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (2 weeks) wanted me to join the jazz band and I just thought I was way too cool for school (laugh). I was more interested in going to see Phish, not doing good in school and listening to Jimi Hendrix. I really do regret not being more involved with the high school music program...in 12th grade, we did ’Hotel California’ with a full band and I did all the soloing, so that was pretty fun. There were some really good things to come out of Pittston Area.

When did you first get involved with the national music scene?

Through Gongzilla. Prior to that, I was just a local guy – people knew who I was at the Jazz Café or whatever. My first show with Gongzilla was at The Troubador in L.A. - one of the most famous clubs in rock and roll history – and we played with moe., Umphrey’s McGee, the guys from Frank Zappa’s band, just a ridiculous list of people.

And from that day on, we were playing all over the country and meeting all kinds of people. I still have connections and contacts through that band.

As a musician, what’s more important to you: being a part of the national touring scene or being able to play your own material like you do in MiZ? They were both definitely equally important. I wouldn’t want to say one was more important than the other because Gongzilla opened all those doors for me, and my band is now walking through those doors.

The Polish American Congress of Northeastern Pennsylvania will meet at 6 p.m. Monday, June 20, at Grotto Pizza, Gateway Center, Edwardsville.

Plans for the Christmas Wigilia will be on the agenda. Felicia Perlik will preside.

Hughestown Lions

The Hughestown Lions Club The booking agent for Gongzilla is now my personal booking agent. It was all there and I think it all happened just as it needed to.

How many active bands are you a part of?

My fathers’ band (Acoustic Miz Trio), the Jam Stampede, Garcia Grass, and my band, MiZ. Oh yeah, I forgot about the Village Idiots (laugh). I play with them every Wednesday at Heil’s Place.

Favorite band to play with?

My heart is in my original stuff. That’s been slowly getting better, and the band is getting better too. That’s definitely where my heart is at.

When did you start writing your own songs?

Probably since I was 11 or 12. I still have songs I wrote when I was 16. The song ’Pine Grove Stomp,’ I wrote when I was 16.

Your original material is pretty personal. Do you ever feel that you don’t want to put too much of yourself out there?

Not really. I usually write really personal stuff, but lately I’ve been writing really non-personal stuff; story telling kind of stuff. I think a lot of that early stuff I wrote was just part of me that needed to heal. If anything, people have come back to me and said that music inspired them.

That’s what it’s all about.

come the darker side of the music industry as well.

The great thing about that now is, I kind of put the past behind me and moved on. I’ve learned a lot from the dark side of the music world. I learned a lot from all the bad decisions I made. I learned never to do them again.

Therefore, it has helped me live a better life, which is awesome. I don’t have nearly as many troubles, worries or fears today because of that. I’m more concerned about moving forward into a more inspired life.

Favorite concert you’ve been to as a fan?

I don’t know if I have one favorite, but one of them was Ryan Adams and The Cardinals at Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. in 2007 or 2008. Anymore I really enjoy concerts where people are sitting down and really listening to the band; and the acoustics were so good in that room.

Favorite concert you’ve ever played?

Opening for Derek Trucks at

the Sherman Theatre (MiZ).

That was a real good time. I’d say that one and the last Jam Stampede show at the Brooklyn Bowl with Mark Karan and Kenny Brooks from RatDog. Mark was such a nice guy and such a pleasure to play with. It was great in every way.

Favorite album?

Oh, man. I’ll just say Bob Dylan ‘Blood on the Tracks’ just because it’s his birthday (laugh).

(Note: the interview was conducted on May 24, Dylan’s birthday.) That’s definitely one of them.

Favorite book?

‘The Power of Now’ by Eckhart Tolle.

Three people, living or deceased, to have dinner with?

Jerry Garcia, obviously. I mean, that’s pretty standard.

Definitely John Lennon. There’s just so many. Do you know who I’d like to have dinner with? The Dalai Lama. It would be a great time.

Pittston native makes presentation at th Special to the Dispatch

PAGE 32

In a painting commissioned by John P. Cosgrove and which hung in the National Archives, General George Washington is notified by Charles Thomson, an Irish American who served as Secretary of the Continental Congress, that he has been elected first President of the United States.

Veteran Washington comedian Mark Russell, right, kept John Cosgrove in stitches at the ceremony. The bow-tied political funnyman became famous in Washington during the Watergate era.

The stately residence of the Ireland Ambassador to Washington was the scene Thursday, June 9, in the nation’s capital for an eclectic reception set on a theme highlighting the support of Irish patriots who rose to prominence in supporting General George Washington during the Revolutionary War, and afterwards in a role that led to the general’s becoming the first President.

Government representatives, diplomats, prominent members of Washington’s Ireland cultural organizations, friends and relatives of John P. Cosgrove, age 92, gathered as Ambassador Michael Collins saluted the distinguished Pittston native who has contributed two historic paintings to the Embassy where they will be on permanent display.

Representatives of the Pittston Area Memorial Library went to Washington for the reception, and were joined by numerous other regional natives. In 2009 Mr. Cosgrove donated his lifetime collection of papers and photographs to the library, along with a $50,000 grant of support.

One of the paintings portrays 13 native Irish officers who provided critical military assistance to Washington’s Revolutionary Army leadership. It was commissioned by Robert E. Stewart, a descant of Charles Thompson, a native of County Kerry, who served as Secretary of the Continental Congress. The artist, Lawrence O’Toole of Baltimore, completed the work shortly after World War II. In 1972, John P. Cosgrove assumed ownership of the painting after a Washingtonbased Pittston native and friend, Joseph Finan, received it from Stewart.

Stewart had taken possession of the painting from the Society of the Sons of Cincinnati, which held the painting, but refused to display it at their Washington headquarters.

In the second painting, General Washington is notified of his election as President of the United States by Charles Thompson, in an historic illustration of the setting in the Palladian Room at Mount Vernon, the President’s estate on the Potomac, not far from the nation’s capital. Thompson is depicted presenting the general with the official documents of his election. At Washington’s request,

More than 125 guests were greeted in the foyer of the official Ireland government residence on S St. N.W.

Ms. Jones played a key role in organizing the Cosgrove Collection which the honored guest contributed to the Pittston Area Memorial Library in 2009.

Thompson remained at Mount Vernon for two days, and escorted the new president by stage coach to New York City, where he was sworn in at Federal Hall on April 30, 1789.

In 1986, when Herbert Collins of the Smithsonian Institution complained to Cosgrove that there was no accurate painting of the 1789 meeting with Washington and Thompson at Mount Vernon, Cosgrove himself commissioned the artist Sidney King to complete the work. It has been established as the only historically precise illustration of the event.

The painting was displayed at the National Archives from 1986 until the structure was vacated for renovation in 2002.

Ambassador Collins opened the ceremony on June 9 by remarking, “Marie (his wife) and I are delighted to welcome you all to the Residence this evening to salute John Cosgrove, a mainstay of the Irish community in Washington, DC, a great and good friend of Ireland and the Embassy for many years. He is also a dear friend of mine and Marie’s.”

Ambassador Collins pointed out that since the foundation of the Irish State there have been 16 Irish Ambassadors in Washington and John Cosgrove “would have met and known no less than 13 of them.”

In speaking of the paintings, Ambassador Collins said, “The subject matter of the two paintings demonstrates better than words the close historic ties between our two countries. John himself has played a significant part in keeping alive the memory of Irishman Charles Thomson and his contribution to the U.S.” He continued, “And just in case anybody wonders whether the Irish in America are still close to the center of this country, let me draw to your attention to the recent iconic photo taken in the Situation Room during the operation to remove Osama bin Laden. In it we have the President himself (who, as we all now know, is part Irish!), Vice President Biden, Admiral Mike Mullen, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, Chief of Staff Bill Daley, Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough and National Security Adviser for Homeland Security John Brennan – all of whom are Irish Amer-

Cosgrove's commitment to Washington causes as well as to his hometown library drew accolades at the reception at the Residence of the Irish Ambassador.

icans. (There, too, is Hillary Clinton who is also deeply connected to Ireland). So, some things haven’t changed through time!”

Ambassador Collins concluded his remarks with, “I would like to thank John for these wonderful gifts which record in such a special way the historic connection between Ireland and the U.S. John is a man of many wonderful experiences and stories.

He has had a distinguished career in journalism and was also President of the National Press Club here in Washington DC. He had the unique distinction of having his inaugural dinner as Club President attended by the President of the United States himself, President Kennedy. He has thus had the distinction over many years of meeting and knowing some of the greats in this city and beyond.”

Saying that he “always wanted to ensure that John’s story was told,” Ambassador Collins announced that Ralph Day and Keith Kearney of the AOH arranged to interview him to ensure that it is recorded for posterity. The video of Cosgrove’s remarks can be seen at http://vimeo.com/24958424

Numerous Pittston natives and current residents joined the festive tribute to Mr. Cosgrove, given by the Irish Ambassador. From left are Michael Clark, Ambassador Collins, Mr. Cosgrove, Mrs. Collins, James W. Dyer and Jordan Clark. Michael Clark, a Junction native who is a Washington-based international public affairs consultant, serves on the board of the library expansion committee. A Taylor native, Mr. Dyer served as a principal assistant to former Congressman Joseph M. McDade, before being named Chief Clerk of the House Appropriations Committee, which he directed for 10 years. He is now a leading Washington lobbyist. Another Junction native, Jordan Clark is Chief of Staff to Pennsylvania Congressman G.T. Thompson. Jordan is the son of the late well known Pittston teacher James A. Clark, who organized Local 1590 of the teachers union in the 1960s. Helen Jordan Clark, his mother, was an organizer of the Pittston Ambulance Association in the 1950s, along with serving on the board of the first Pittston library, opened in the 1950's on the second floor of City Hall.

Eagle Scout candidate presents safety event Police officers, fire fighters assist at event at former St. Mary’s School, Avoca

By Matt Powell

Dispatch intern

W

hat does it take to be a leader? According to the Boy Scouts of America “A leader is someone who has good character, is able to take on responsibility, and has maintained good citizenship in his/her community.”

Chris Gunshore is a member of Troop 316 and has been involved with Boy Scouts since he was 6-years old. He is only 16, but he has demonstrated acts of leadership which make him wise beyond his years.

Last Saturday Gunshore held a Public Safety Event at the old St. Mary’s School in Avoca. The event was an Eagle Scout project that Gunshore worked on for months to help show children and their parents the importance of maintaining safety in the community. Police officers and fire fighters demonstrated some of the duties they perform on a daily basis.

Officer Jerry Van Hoorn of Avoca demonstrated how narcotics dogs are used to help locate illegal substances. His dog Bard, a trained German Shepherd with the force, sniffed several secured cases until he found the substance he was looking for. Once Bard got the scent he let out a huge howl to let Officer Van Hoorn know where the drugs were located.

When Van Hoorn was asked how Bard was trained he said, “Once the dog finds the substance they’re looking for they’re awarded a treat.”

Officer Van Hoorn has been a drug enforcement officer for a number of years and has trained his dog Bard for nine years. Bard has helped prevent numerous drug crimes all over Luzerne and Lackawanna counties. “We always enjoy working with the public and this is a great way to show others that we as law enforcement officials are here to serve,” Van Hoorn said.

Another demonstration was held on how to take down a suspect. Deputy Donald Lasoski of the Luzerne County Sheriff’s See SAFETY, Page 37

When Gunshore was asked if he would continue in the Venture Crew he said that he probably would. “We are a growing family and I hope I can help others as much as they have helped me,” he said.

Gunshore needs to complete two more merit badges before achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. He hopes to be completed with his badges in the next couple of months.

Department dressed from head to toe in protective gear and worked with officer Vanhorn to put together a simulation on how this is performed.

“Halt your under arrest,” yelled Van Hoorn. When Lasoski refused to cooperate Vanhoorn yelled to his k-9 partner Bard to get him. Once that phrase was yelled, the trained dog bit at Lasoski until he was brought to the ground.

When Lasoski was asked how it felt being on the other side he said, “Let’s just say I’m happy I’m on the right team.”

The Avoca Fire Department was also on site to explain the features of their fire and rescue trucks and the Pittston Fire Department was on site with their smoke trailer. The smoke trailer is an activity which teaches children how to escape in the event of a real house fire.

Inside the building the Luzerne County Sheriff’s Department was there to produce I.D. cards for the kids and a refreshment table was available along with poster boards to teach them information in case of an emergency.

Gunshore, himself, wants to

serve his community one day by becoming a state police officer.

“Scouts have shown me a lot of leadership and it makes me more confident as a person,” he said.

Gunshore, like all Boy Scouts, had to go through the ranks. Matt Fino of Avoca has been Gunshore’s troop leader since he was ten years old.

Fino said, “When I first met Chris, he was afraid of his own shadow.”

According to Fino, Gunshore has developed social skills which make him stand out among the rest. When the troop went on a camping retreat to earn their merit badges Chris was the senior leader of the group. Fino said, “When others were being lazy Chris was always the one to push others to get the job done.”

Along with Gunshore’s leadership comes modesty. “Even though I was the leader of our troop it’s always a group effort,” he said.

Once Gunshore completes his Eagle Scout he will have the opportunity to enter what is known as the Venture Crew which is a crew for Eagle Scout members to help other Boy Scouts learn how to serve in the community and how to be an effective leader.

“I am so proud of Chris and I have no doubt he will take what he’s learned and help others in real life situations,” said Fino.

Homza is the daughter of Steve and Donna Homza of Exeter. She has served as president of the Wyoming Area Key Club for the past year.

Homza said she believes every community needs a soul. This allows people to make a difference in the lives of others. She was able to put this belief into practice over the past four years by involving herself in Relay for Life.

West Pittston Continued from Page 44

Former resident and former borough employee Norma Yaple was remembered fondly during Monday night’s borough council meeting.

Yaple passed away on May 28 at the age of 79. Aside from serving as a council member, she worked as a borough secretary, treasurer and auditor over the past three decades.

“Norma was a good friend and a faithful employee,” Hughestown Mayor Paul Hindmarsh said. “She will be missed.”

The Yaple name is renowned in the borough. The Robert Maple Park, on Center Street behind the Municipal Building, is named after Norma’s late husband.

“They were communityminded people,” Hindmarsh said.

Also on Monday, the council announced that a state gaming funds grant applied for by Dupont in conjunction with Hughestown and four other area municipalities was approved.

Roughly $461,000 in funding will be provided toward the purchase of machinery that will convert yard waste into compost.

The residential yard waste from Hughestown, Dupont, Duryea, Laflin, Jenkins Township and Pittston will be taken to the new localized center and residents will be able to obtain the compost for free.

The terms of the grant do not

require Hughestown to pay anything toward the construction or purchase of the machinery.

The borough currently hauls its yard debris to a facility in Dickson City.

The 60-mile round trip is made roughly three times each Wednesday for several months each year.

Council President Wayne Quick Jr. estimated that the new yard waste recycling center will be in operation sometime during the summer of 2012.

Also on Monday, Griffith Street resident Michael Bowman complained that open sewage has recently begun showing up on his yard after rainstorms.

Bowman had heard that there were storm water problems in the area but he said he was surprised to see the sewage. He said he suspected it was coming from his neighbor’s yard but doubted that she was aware of any problems with any of her subterranean piping.

Hindmarsh acknowledged there were some storm water drainages in that area of the borough that might have been caused by the Kappa Graphics plant, but he said he was completely unaware of any sewage issues.

Pastor Bob Mitchell, of Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church in Hughestown, shared his professional singing ability with the community last Sunday afternoon with a concert featuring a variety of secular and sacred works – including German and Italian art songs, show tunes, and gospel songs. Pastor Bob chose the name “Musical Primavera” for the performance. “Primavera” means “Spring” in Italian, and the program was held during the last full week of spring.

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. Long before Pastor Bob was ordained, he sang some 40 opera roles in a 30-year career. Pastor Bob is the author of Opera Inside Out and is in the process of writing a memoir about his singing experiences.

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 Theological Seminary.

Pastor Bob was accompanied on piano and organ by Saint Peter’s music director, Michael Sowa.

Music director and accompanist Michael Sowa, left, and the Rev. Robert Mitchell accept applause from the audience.

The performance concluded with a sing-along of popular tunes and hymns. A free-will offering was collected to help raise funds for Saint Peter’s Lutheran Church, and a reception followed the performance.

Nowicki. “So I gave him the nod and he gave me a nod and I just went after him.”

Bellino returned to pitch the seventh inning and attempt a complete game. After getting two outs, a throwing error scored an unearned run. With one out left, Coach Sobeski came out and had Murphy relieve Bellino.

Murphy then recorded the last out of the game and sealed the win for Greater Pittston.

“Every pitcher wants the ball but Murphy is a great closer and no one deserves it more,” said Bellino about leaving the game early. “It was hot and I was feeling it. I was definitely fatigued.”

With a solid outing by Bellino and timely hitting, Greater Pittston remains undefeated and Coach Sobeski is happy about it.

“It’s nice. The team is playing well and we have a great amount of teamwork,” said Sobeski. “It is great when you have so many players who can play multiple positions.”

GP played Northwest yesterday, too late for our deadline.

On Wednesday, at Atlas field, the power-hitting GP Legion team showed that they don’t need to hit the ball out of the park to win.

Greater Pittston won its 5th game of the year against Mountain Post, 3 to 2, and most of it was due to the great outing by pitcher Anthony Bellino.

Belino went 6 and 2/3 innings, giving up 9 hits, 1 walk, and 1 earned run. He struck out 5.

Greater Pittston scored in the first inning when Chris Murphy hit a line drive into the gap at center to score Ryan Casey. In the third inning, greater Pittston got their second run when the catcher of Mountain Post tried to pick off Randy McDermott stealing second. He succeeded; however, Murphy was on third and stole home, advancing on the throw.

Murphy had one of his best games going 2 for 3 with an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base.

He even helped out on defense by getting the final out as a pitcher.

“I just felt confident coming into the game,” said Murphy. “I wanted to do whatever I could to help.”

In the fourth inning, a Mountain Post throwing error put David Drahus on base. He scored the game winning run when Casey hit an RBI single with two outs.

Bellino gave up one earned run in the fifth then ran into some trouble in the sixth. He gave up two hits and found himself with a man on first and a man on third with two outs. All of a sudden catcher Kody Nowicki threw a bullet to third base to tag out a leaning Mountain Post player.

“I told Ryan (third baseman) if he is jumping down the line I’m coming second pitch,” said

Plains bats fuel victory over Old Forge Post 513 Matt Petrini Dispatch Corespondent

The Plains American Legion team used a three-run first and a four-run third inning and a solid six-inning pitching performance

by Bobby Sorokas to power past Old Forge Post 513 9-2 at Hilldale baseball Complex Monday afternoon.

Post 513 stranded eight runners on the base paths, failing to connect on that key hit to jump start their already stalled offense.

In home half of the first Jordan Bone and Jim Graziosi reached on back-to-back singles to start ta Plains rally. After a groundout

by Josh Savakinas and a walk to Anthony Grillini, Joe Parsnik cleared the bases with a threerun RBI double to center giving Plains and early 3-0 advantage.

In the top half of the secon, after back-to-back strikeouts by Sorokas to start the inning, Billy Preston drew a walk and Pittston Area’s Tyler Loftus launched a double to left for OF. Both runners were stranded as Sorokas managed to retire the final batter via the strikeout to end the threat.

OF scored in the third. AJ Phillips led off the third with a sharp single to left. After a sacrifice bunt by Michael Long, BJ Bocchichio launched an RBI double to right chasing Phillips home. However Sorokas induced a pop fly and a strikeout to end Post 513’s threat.

Clinging to a 3-1 lead entering the third, Plains put the game out of reach helped by shaky infield defense. Graziosi led off with a single to left followed by Savakinas and Grillini who both reached on infield errors. Parsnik then hit a sacrifice fly to right scoring Graziosi from third. Sorokas reached on another infield error. After a strikeout and a walk to Dom Gulius, Dylan Cancini hit a two-run RBI double to left for a 7-1 Plains lead.

Post 513 scored a run in the fourth. Preston reached on a HBP went to third on a single by Loftus, and scored on a Chuck Bressler fielder’s choice grounder to make it 7-2.

Plains added two more runs in the fourth on a Grillini RBI single to left and an RBI groundout

by Sorokas, ultimately putting the game out of reach for Post 513. Sorokas and James Castelli-

no combined to shut down the Old Forge bats for the win.

BJ Bocchichio carried Old Forge with three hits and an RBI. Tyler Loftus chipped in with two hits.

Chuck Bressler took the loss allowing seven hits while fanning three in four innings of work. Ian Nementz went two innings in relief while issuing only one hit while strikeout out three.

For Plains, Bone and Graziosi chipped in with two hits and two runs scored each. Parsnik drilled in four RBI. Sorokas got the win scattering seven hits while strikeout out seven.

I N S I D E YO U R YA N K E E S

SWB Yanks are more exciting than you think

By Tommy Romanelli

Special to the Dispatch

The Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees have been having trouble drawing attendance this season.

It’s easy to see why, though, right? The Yankees just trade all of their prospects away so there aren’t any players worth seeing. The team isn’t really that good. The players there are stuck at the Triple-A level because the Yankees are filled with All-Stars blocking their path to the Bigs.

Wrong!

All of those are common misconceptions about the Yankees minor league teams and they couldn’t be any more false.

Part of the reason why so many people believe these things is that the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees get no publicity to even let the fans know what they’re missing. And I can tell you that they’re missing a lot.

For starters, the SWB Yankees have a diamond in the ruff with their first baseman Jorge Vazquez. He is currently leading the International League with 20 homeruns. He’s the type of hitter you pitch around with the bases loaded.

What makes Vazquez most valuable is that he can play both corner positions which may make him a nice fill-in in the Bronx until the current backup corner infielder for New York, Eric Chavez, gets healthy.

Vazquez isn’t your prototypical power hitter either. His minor league career started in 2005 and he has hit no lower than a .323 batting average in every season except one (.284 in 2010). Unfortunately, not many people know that Vazquez exists. I don’t think the Yankees even know they have him. Once they figure it out, though, he’ll be a nice call up off the bench and perfect, in my eyes, for the designated hitting role.

Another player in SWB that really interests me is Kevin Whelan.

He’s definitely the best arm out of their bullpen right now. He has the stuff to go far in the major leagues. When he’s throwing strikes, he’s extremely difficult to hit but that’s his biggest problem: throwing strikes.

That’s all anyone talks about but what people don’t see is that he is a pitcher by accident. Whelan was a catcher until his final years of college when he decided to joke around and pitch during practice.

The ability he has is no joke, though.

He only has about 300 innings under his belt which is like three years as a reliever or two as a starter so he is still young in terms of pitching. Considering those stats, how can you not expect him to have some control problems?

Eventually Whelan is going to figure those issues out and become a dominant reliever. He’s already shown he can do it this year for SWB pitching to an ERA under 2.00 with 18 saves. He was already called up once this year and walked 5 guys in 1.2 innings but that was also his Major League debut in front of thousands of people.

With the New York Yankees bullpen struggles, I can see Whelan up with them again this season and filling a very big void in the pen.

Vazquez and Whelan are only two players on a roster full of potential, so it’s well worth going out for a game to check them out in person because the next time you see them might be on the YES Network.

Tommy Romanelli is a Wyoming Area grad and former Warrior baseball player. Going into his sophomore year as a journalism major at Luzerne County Community College, he writes for pinstripesplus.com and their printed magazine and has an article on Kevin Whelan in the July issue. His thoughts on the SWB Yankees will appear in the Dispatch throughout the season.

A letter to God on Father’s Day Dear God, We are taught to believe that You are all forgiving. So forgive me, Father, for I am a sinner.

And I am sure I will continue to be a sinner. Especially since you took the man I feared the most on this planet away from me last Sunday.

As I am sure you know, God, Dad was a larger than life figure, not only at Old Forge High School and in the community, but at home as well. My fear of him wasn’t physical fear, it was a fear of disappointing the man I loved and respected more than anyone else I have come across in your world.

But as this week has worn on, God, I have come to the conclusion that Dad sensed I was ready to make him proud. That I had grown to be a man that could take care of my Mom - his high school sweetheart and best friend; to take care of his yard – only you know how much he loved it; and our pool – a pool I have damned for the past month because impatient Dad absolutely needed that pool to be open and ready by mid May. (God, tell Dad the pool is open, and is only few days from being ready.)

God I am sure you have been paying attention to Dad - the Big Blue Devil to most – for most of his life, but if you haven’t paid attention to his legacy since his

passing through your pearly gates, let me give you the run down.

The legacy Dad left to our tiny borough, school and corner of Pennsylvania was demonstrated on Wednesday night when his wake attracted more than 1,000 family, friends, co-workers, students, former students and even rivals to Ferri’s Funeral Home in Old Forge to pay their last respects.

I’m not exaggerating either.

My sister-in-law Jen stopped counting the names in the registry book after she hit 1,000. And that number doesn’t include the numerous calls, texts and emails from people wishing to tell us how great a guy Dad was.

God, I obviously don’t need to tell you about the impact Dad made on the Old Forge educational and athletic communities.

You obviously already know or you wouldn’t have taken him from us so soon.

You see, God, I was also taught to not ask, ‘Why?’ when someone special is taken. And I haven’t asked, ‘Why?’ because I know why you took him from us.

Not only did you need him more than we do – as evidenced by the fact it took him less than 24 hours to renew the Pitt-Penn State football rivalry as Heaven’s new athletic director - but I also know he deserved to be with You in Heaven.

Yes, he deserves to be with You. Did we deserve to lose him? I don’t believe so. But life isn’t fair, and is not supposed to be about self. Dad taught me both those things.

Many have told us that Dad did not deserve such a fate – to die at the age of 64 after spending most of the last 40 years on this planet educating the youth of Old Forge as a math teacher, high school coach, club advisor, and Little League coach. He was supposed to now enjoy his life after working to provide for his family for most of it. He was supposed to play golf three times a week, travel the world with Mom, sit in the stands supporting the Blue Devils, and spend every Friday at the local “Coaches Corner” voicing his overstated opinions.

But I know better than that. I know some of the reasons he deserves to be with you, God. First, Dad was the least sinful person I know. He was loving, supporting, loyal and treated others how he wished to be treated. We used to joke that he liked everyone – and he really did.

Well except Tiger Woods. But that was only because Woods was not loyal to his wife and children as a husband and a father.

Something Dad absolutely was.

Was Dad the perfect man? I am sure he wasn’t. No one is. But I am sure that he was as close as

he possibly could be.

Secondly, Dad’s devotion to his family, his calling and to you, God, led him out of Hell and into Heaven. Yes Dad was in Hell.

(We call it Earth.) For only an imperfect environment could lead to the downfall of a closeto-perfect person. And that is what this Earth did to my father.

Let’s face it, God, your teachings of Heaven and Hell should really be about teachings of Heaven and Earth, for I have come to believe that we – those of us not with you in Heaven – live in Hell.

Where other than Hell could a life like my father’s be cut short by a disease like cancer – a disease only Hell could spawn?

Where other than Hell could my mother now have to live without the person she did EVERYTHING with - the man who was the ONLY love of her life, and her best best friend?

Where other than Hell could three grown men turn into three weeping little boys as they saw their idol and role model reduced to a shell of the larger than life figure that they loved, respected and wanted to please more than no other?

And where other than Hell could the enjoyment of Dad’s first grandchild be taken away from him when he would have provided more love than any grandparent could give?

God, I hope I am not preaching too much, but let’s face it, I am my father’s child. And if he wasn’t preaching, teaching, coaching, embellishing, loving, learning, supporting or just plain talking, then he was usually sleeping.

On that note, God, let me conclude.

I will need your help during the rest of my life, because more than anything, Dad was not only my friend, but my advisor, my teacher, my coach, my sounding board, my discussion partner, my arguing partner, and most importantly my father.

Life will not be easy without him, but I know he is in a better place and is smiling down on us, dreaming about the day when you deem that we deserve to join him.

So, God, please give Dad this message for me.

Tell Dad I love him and always have and always will. Tell him I miss him. Tell him I will make him proud during my remaining days in Hell.

Oh, and God, tell him to let me sleep in on this Father’s Day, because I want to dream about him for as long as I can.

Happy Father’s Day, Dad. I love you.

Sunday hunting: the time has come Once again the notion of Sunday hunting is being discussed across the state. The restrictions for hunting on Sunday are among the last survivors of the old Blue Laws.

Most blue laws were changed over the years. I remember when I was young, many moons ago, shopping was a no-no on Sunday. The malls were closed and so were the grocery stores.

What we didn’t get done on Saturday didn’t get accomplished until Monday. It was fine back then but it had to change and it did.

Now the grocery stores are super busy on Sunday morning and you can now buy liquor and beer as well. The movie theaters are packed and sports bars are crowded with people yelling and screaming at sporting events on television. The bars weren’t allowed to open on Sunday back in the day. You can fire up the boat motor and go fishing and on the way to your honey-hole, you can stop at one of a hundred convenient stores to buy food for the coolers. The notion that Sunday is a day of rest went out the window when people started working six days a week to make ends meet. When were these hard working Americans supposed to get the shopping done as well as the chores around the house? It had to be Sunday.

I find the idea that this is once again up for discussion pretty ridiculous. It should have been decided long before it became okay to head to a Pennsylvania State licensed casino instead of Church on Sunday morning.

If you don’t believe that people are gambling on Sunday mornings, drive past the Mohegan Sun and look at

OUTDOORS WITH JAKE

the parking lot. Most churches would pray to be this well attended. Local soccer and baseball fields are always filled on Sunday and so are video arcades and amusement parks. It seems like you’re allowed to do just about everything but hunt.

The main reason for this discussion is that the House Game and Fisheries Committee held the first of three public hearings earlier this month. These hearings are designed to hear both sides of the argument regarding Sunday hunting. They will then decide what to do about proposed legislation to change the blue law. It is however, important to remember that even if the law is changed, it still doesn’t mean we’re hunting on Sunday. All it does is give the power back to the Pennsylvania Game Commission and it will be up to them to make the final decision.

They have yet to take a stand on either side. The other two hearings have yet to be scheduled. I will let you know if any of them are in our area.

Some of you may be wondering who is opposed to the change. The opposition to the proposed change included the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau and the Humane So-

ciety of the United States. It is my opinion that the Humane Society shouldn’t be allowed to voice their opinion at all. They are against hunting in general. But the farmers are a different story.

Members of the PA Farm Bureau believe that six days a week for hunting is enough. They also contend that their members (farmers) don’t want to be bothered on their religious day of rest. The committee also heard testimony about trespassing, economic advantages and disadvantages as well as public opinion surveys. Both sides shot holes at the others numbers.

I hunt on Sunday in New York. I buy gas in New York, I buy food and beer in New York and I enjoy hunting on Sunday in New York. I would however stay home and hunt here in Pennsylvania if the laws change. I don’t expect this article to change your opinion if you are strongly against Sunday hunting. I just want you to see it through my eyes before you slam me for my opinions. I believe that a change in the laws would make it easier to keep kids involved by allowing them another day in the field with their parent or hunting mentor. They have a lot pulling at

their spare time and the more opportunity we can give them to hunt the better.

If you would like to voice your opinion either way be sure to let you legislators know where you stand on Sunday hunting before they vote yes or no.

Get your License Now

The Pennsylvania hunting and furtaker licenses for the 2011-12 seasons went on sale earlier this week. The licenses are easier to get then they ever have been. They are available through the Game Commission’s Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS), over-the-counter at all Game Commission region offices and the Harrisburg headquarters, as well as the more than 600 in-state and out-of-state issuing agents. Licenses also are available through the PALS website:https:// www.pa.wildlifelicense.com.

You may be wondering what all the rush is about. It is all about antlerless deer licenses. Applications for the regular round of antlerless deer licenses for residents begins July 11, and nonresidents can apply beginning July 25. An antlerless license application will be

printed with every general license purchased, and an application also will be available in the 2011-12 Hunting and Trapping Digest for the first and second round of unsold antlerless deer licenses. The first round of unsold antlerless licenses will begin, for residents and nonresidents, on Aug.1, and the second round of unsold antlerless licenses will begin on Aug. 15.

The costs are the same as they have been since 1999.

There is however a 70-cent transaction fee attached to the purchase of each license and permit, which is paid directly to Active Outdoors, the Nashville-based company that runs PALS. Returning PALS customers are encouraged to provide their Customer Identification Number (CID) to speed up processing.

The following licenses can be issued at this time through any means. They include the senior lifetime licenses; Mentored Youth Hunting Program permits; elk drawing applications; bobcat and fisher permits; resident landowner reducedfee hunting licenses: Deer Management Assistance Program Harvest (DMAP) permits: the special spring gobbler license.

Just remember, July 11 is the first day to apply for doe permits.

Student Council at Holy Rosary School ‘Goes Green’

In an effort to “Go Green,” the HRS Student Council members have been collecting drink pouches and chip bags and sending them to TerraCycle.

Terra Cycle is a company

whose purpose is to eliminate waste by creating national recycling systems for previously non-recyclable items. Two of those items – drink pouches and chip bags – were collected

from the students by the Student Council.

The Student Council, under the direction of moderator Mrs. Lisa Casey, then sent the items to TerraCycle. In return, Holy

Rosary receives two cents per item. Last year, 777 drink pouches and 581 chip bags were sent to TerraCycle. This year, we have already exceeded those numbers and next year we

are hoping to send even more!

Thanks to our Student Council for helping to reduce waste and for making us conscious of our responsibility to God’s planet.
