Ed Ackerman, optimist

Trade ‘em well, grads, trade ‘em well Despite how it felt, graduates, what you just went through at your respective high schools was not an end at all but a beginning. That’s why they call it commencement.

You should spend some time thinking about that, maybe a minute, because just thinking about this beginning in your life won’t get the job done. It’s time for action.

If you do want to devote a bit of thought to the situation, however, consider this: beginnings are far greater than endings. Beginnings are fresh.

Beginnings are exciting. Beginnings, by their very definition, are new.

Beginnings, if you do them right, are filled with promise, filled with hope.

Let that sink in.

Good. Now get busy. You have work to do.

There’s a great line in a song from the Broadway show “A Chorus Line” – a song whose title I’d rather not mention here, but you can look it up – that

can help you get started. It goes like this: Keep the best of you, fix the rest of you.

That’s what you need to be doing. And right now, as in immediately.

I suggest grabbing a pen and a legal pad, or just a sheet of paper. Draw a vertical line down the center. On one side, jot down all the things you really like about yourself; on the other, the things you don’t.

Which brings me to a habit you must acquire, if you haven’t already: the habit of being honest with yourself. If you are going to lie on this list, put the legal pad away and go back to pad. And, for God’s sake, stop reading this.

Still reading? Okay, next step is to examine only the side of the paper that lists the good things about you. Read over each one carefully and be sure to add anything you’ve forgotten.

This is crucial. It’s what’s known as being positive, and nothing will serve you better in

Church Tour.......................................................3 Sunday Sitdown ...............................................4 Main Street Improvements ............................9 Local Chatter ....................................................8 Matters of Faith ...............................................10

life than a positive attitude.

Also, let’s hope there are enough things on this side of the sheet to make you love yourself. That’s important.

I know, I know, loving yourself sounds conceited. Well, forget that. Unless you love yourself, you can never love anyone else. Besides, why do you think we are doing this exercise in the first place?

You’ll have to look at the other side of the paper eventually and, if you’ve been honest, it should make you cringe … at least a little. That’s good. Remember, this is a beginning.

But you have to be careful that this list – the things that need fixing – does not overwhelm you. You did not pick up these attributes overnight and you won’t get ride of them that easily either.

I suggest you select one to work on, just one. Give it hell.

And don’t stop giving it hell until you can draw a line right through it, preferably with a big fat, black Sharpie. Then go on

to the next.

You will like this. Trust me.

You will like this because it will give you the incredible sense of self satisfaction, a sense that you are taking charge of your life. And there is no other feeling quite like self satisfaction.

You will start to feel powerful, and it will show. People – friends, family, co-workers – will wonder what’s happened to you. Let them wonder. That will make you feel ever more powerful.

What will truly be happening is something I mentioned earlier: you will be cultivating a positive attitude. Attitude is everything. What makes the guy on the garbage truck at 6 in the morning whistle while he works? Attitude. What makes the businessman making a million dollars a year gripe over lunch at the country club? Attitude.

Your attitude is up to you. It’s a personal choice. No one makes you behave this way or

VOL. 65, NO. 20 Editorial /Letters .............................................14 Jack Smiles ......................................................15 Nutrition............................................................15 Peeking into the Past......................................17 Northeast Fair..........................................28, 29

that way. No one. You may not have control over a lot of things in your life, but have control over this.

Finally, allow me to share with you a bit of advice I received some 25 years ago from a lovely man on the occasion of his 95th birthday, if memory serves me well. His name was George Bainbridge and he’s appeared in this column before.

This is what he said: You trade a day of your life for all the things you did during that day. When you are going to bed at night, make sure you can look at yourself and say, “Good trade.”

If you live to be as old as Mr. Bainbridge, graduates, you will live approximately 34,675 days.

That may seem a lot. But if you are 18, you’ve used up around 6,570 already. Some you have traded well, some not. Either way, they are gone for good.

When you consider the 28,000 or so you have left, do you really want to give away any of them cheaply?

Slocum Chapel a surprise on church tour Sixth annual summer event visited four churches in Exeter Borough Last Sunday’s annual Tour of Historic Pittston Churches included a pleasant surprise amongst the familiar. The sixth annual tour, conceived and hosted by Atty. Jan Lokuta, was the smallest thus far, with only four churches being visited, but, thanks to the gem that is the Slocum Chapel, it may have been one of the most memorable.

This summer’s tour concentrated on the churches of Exeter Borough. The familiar churches – St. John the Baptist on Schooley Street, St. Cecilia’s on Wyoming Avenue and St. Anthony’s on Memorial Street – have been merged into the new Parish of St. Barbara, housed at the former St. Anthony’s but utilizing St. Cecilia’s as an alternate worship site.

St. John the Baptist has closed.

Slocum Chapel, at1024 Exeter Ave., in a section known as “the patch,” was built in 1867 by the Slocum family who occupied a stately mansion across the street.

Mr. Slocum’s will specified that the chapel was to remain in service to the community. The Slocums were Presbyterian.

Today, the chapel is an Apos-

Artist, musician, entrepreneur Best known for his successful ad agency, Kevin McGroarty now a ‘Gun for Hire’

Kevin McGroarty, 50, was born and raised in Wyoming. He graduated from Wyoming Area high School in 1979. He has associates degrees in applied science and business management from LCCC. He started and ran a string of successful ad agencies. Most recently he has a freelance graphic design business he calls Gun for Hire. His office/studio is in West Pittston, where he also lives.

He is also and artist and musician. He has released three CDs of original parody songs with the band Se7en South.

He is self-described as “a selftaught illustrator coming up through the ranks of back row sketchbooks filled with unflattering teacher portraits, girls way out of his league and motorcycles.”

What were your high school days like?

Not a stellar student. I was holding down a part time job.

But Wyoming Area is a good school and back then we had a lot of freedom in the arts. I excelled in art at the time.

grasp of what happened at the Battle of Wyoming. Like, I always thought the battle was in Wyoming by the monument, but it was mainly in Exeter.

We put together the DVD Battle of Wyoming. We have some animation, stills, did a lot of the Ken Burns effect. We broke into segments.

We didn’t make it bloody so grandma could watch it with the grandkids.

WVIA usually runs it on TV on July 3.

With Jack Smiles

You have described yourself as a self-taught MacGeek?

When I got out of LCCC, I and two other guys started an ad agency called Pyramid. For novices we picked up some good accounts, Jack Williams, Stroud’s.

Pride Furniture was very good to us. We designed print ads, radio ads, some TV ads. A little bit of everything. It was great exposure for us.

We were one of the first using Apple Computers in the Valley.

We went to Philadelphia to purchase it back in ’85.

That was our first venture into desktop publishing. I remember with the Dispatch we could have our stuff in on Saturday morning.

A lot of our clients were baffled because they always had to have their stuff in on Wednesday.

Since we could make our own art work, we could come in on Saturday morning as long as we had

Aside from your ad work, you are an artist?

Always dabbling. Painting. I used to do a lot of conventional painting. The computer has taken a lot of my paints and solvents away. No need to get your fingers dirty. No more oily rags around.

(Laughs).

the space reserved and the art was camera ready.

Jim Ward of the old WARD radio was a mentor of sorts?

When we started out we didn’t know what to do. When we started dealing with him he took us under wing. He said, look you guys are entitled to 15 percent.

We bill you. There’s a gross, you take 15 percent off the top, pay us and away we go.

He was very animated. There was a little window where you could see the recording sessions going on.

Doing Kurlancheek’s Furniture ads he’d yell “40, 50, 60, 70 percent off ” and you’d see the wires on his head set flying. He really got into it. (Laughs).

One time we owed him money and we told him we’d pay him Monday.

There was a horrific snowstorm and I drove up there and he said I’ve got sales reps that won’t

come in, what are you doing here? And I said, we said we’d pay you on Monday. After that we were golden. He’d go out of his way to get us accounts.

Talk about RHINO Media.

That was in 1997 through 2008. Two years ago I sold the business to Summer Bellas, my business partner.

Research, Habit, Identity, Navigation and Organization.

Research the clients and the competition, study their buying Habits, create an Identity for yourself that sets you apart, Navigate the budget to make every dollar count, and Organization to get everybody thinking the same way.

Why did you make a Battle of Wyoming DVD? That was RHINO with Summer Bellas and Kevin Jones in 2002. Even having grown up in Wyoming, I never had a full

Have you ever had a gallery showing?

One. At Gina Malsky’s Downtown Arts in Wilkes-Barre. All computer generated stuff. God bless her. She treated my stuff first class. I got a lot of feedback.

I’m indebted to her.

Your father inspired you?

Edward McGroarty. He was a colonel in the state police, retired in 1976. He went Swoyersville schools and a teacher there told him he had worst handwriting she’d ever seen. She told him there are only 26 letters. If you took one a day and learned it you could master this and he did.

He became a master penman.

Wrote everything with a German pen.

I have sample here. One time I wrote an essay and he wrote it out. (Points out essay framed on the wall). He wrote like that with everything, whether it was a grocery list or directions.

You have an ongoing project connected to the state police?

Camp Cadet for Troop P. It’s for kids 12 to 15 to camp for a week. It’s a great program for kids with an interest in law enforcement. I’m on the board of

directors.

I do a lot of graphics and fund raising with them. Takes up a lot of time all year. As soon as the camp is over we have to start shaking the bushes for the next year.

We have to raise $28,000 for a season and it’s hard with all the golf tournaments out there and the economy doesn’t help.

You produced a bagpipe music CD for Trooper Miller’s family. Did you know him?

Didn’t know him. But I knew the fellows around him and they spoke very highly of him. Said he was a decent fellow. Family man. Loved to hunt and fish.

Chris Lynch and Chuck Sands put the music together. They got in touch with me and though Richie over at Rock Street we recorded the CD. He lent us his engineer Max. All the proceeds go to the family How did you learn to play music?

I got a guitar for high school graduation. I still have it. Pretty much self taught and on the piano, too.

What is the band Se7en South about?

Seven South is the psychiatric ward at General Hospital. I always thought it would be a cool name for a band.

Anyway, we recorded as Se7en South with Jimmy Frushon and George Stuscavage. Jimmy would come in for like a week we’d get together and work on an album. We just started throwing stuff together. I really enjoyed the creative process. It really gets the juices flowing. We made three CDs. We did the third album over the internet sending mp3s back and forth.

What are the songs like?

All parodies. Always tongue in cheek. A lot of them have local themes.

One is about Danny Argo. Argo was like a hero from the time See MC GROARTY, Page 18

Officials of Pittston City and West Pittston Borough are turning to local business and civic leaders for financial assistance in providing the annual Fourth of July weekend fireworks over the Susquehanna River.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judical Court has upheld a lower court ruling that puts in question the ownership of hundreds, possibly thousands, of foreclosed properties in the state. The ruling affirms a court decision that invalidated foreclosures on two homes because the lenders did not clear titles to the mortgages on the home. *** Power suppliers that sell electricity in Maryland will have to buy more energy from solar sources, under a new law. *** The Rhode Island Supreme Court has ruled that the City of Providence may take away an employee’s pension only if that employee is convicted of a jobrelated crime, not just forced to resign or fired for misconduct. *** Individuals in Illinois will be limited to giving a candidate $5,000 per election cycle, and businesses, unions, and political action committees to $10,000, under a new law, Illinois was one of just five states that had no limits on the size or source of campaign donations before the General Assembly passed the law.

It may sound counter intuitive, but dumpsters, backhoes, a blacktop patch and crumbling buildings equal progress on South Main Street.

Last week sewer project work emerged from Butler Alley, crossed Main Street and tore into the Tomato Festival lot.

The City hopes work moves along quickly in order for the lot to be ready for the Pittston Tomato Festival, scheduled August 18 through 21.

Meanwhile, the 2011 Pittston Farmer’s Market has found a new location. The market will open on Tuesday, July 14, beginning at 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on the St. John the Evangelist Parish community parking lot on William Street. The paved lot is the former parking lot of St. John the Baptist Church and St. John the Baptist School. There are entrances on William Street adjacent to DeMuro’s Pizza on both sides of the building and Butler Street.

When the sewer project is completed the market will again be located on the Robert Conroy, Sr. lot.

OUR OPINION

Don’t tell us you’ve got nuthin’ to do Counting flowers on the wall doesn’t bother you at all?

Then this editorial isn’t for you.

But for everyone else who might be looking for something to do, we have some suggestions.

For starters, how about taking in an American Legion baseball game?

In case you haven’t noticed, the Greater Pittston team, made up of players from Pittston Area and Wyoming Area, is 9-0 thus far. The team plays a sort-of doubleheader today at the Atlas Field in West Pittston. They will start at 5 p.m. completing a make-up game against Back Mountain and then follow with a regular game.

Rooting for the local boys is a nice way to spend a summer Sunday evening.

Also, Little League All Star Tournament play begins this week. The complete local schedule appears in today’s sports section.

But if baseball is not your thing, perhaps golf is. The final rounds of the Allan Tournament are scheduled today at Fox Hill Country Club. Just being on the grounds of Fox Hill is worth it.

Then there is always the Northeast Fair which concludes today in Suscon.

Grounds open at 1 p.m. and activity continues until 11. To see what you’ve been missing, check out the photos on pages 28 and 29.

Got lots of time on your hands? Why not consider volunteering some of it?

The Greater Pittston Meals on Wheels program is getting desperate for drivers and runners. If you are familiar with the operation, you know several of the folks performing these tasks are elderly themselves delivering meals to clients younger than they. They sure could use some young blood to help out.

If interested, stop in at the headquarters on Main Street.

Another place to offer help is the Greater Pittston Food Pantry. And if you don’t have time to donate, you can always offer food items or cash.

Peggy Burke, founder and director, explains it all better than we can in a letter on this page.

Finally, bazaar and festival season is upon us.

A full listing of local events appears on page 31. Not only can you plan your eating adventures for the rest of the summer, but you also may want to consider lending a hand.

‘Springbook Saison’ takes prize

Winners of the Mad Brewers Homebrew competition recently held at Dog Fish Head brewery in Rehobeth Beach, Delaware, left to right, are Shane Kelley, Sam Calgione, and Terry Jumper (originally from Glendale/PittstonTownship).

Terry’s winning brew was a Saison named “Springbrook Saison,” in memory of his father who used to take him to Springbrook hunting and fishing when he was growing up.

YOUR OPINION Food Pantry expands offerings, thanks to local generosity The generosity of a local businessman has made it possible for low-income residents of Greater Pittston to receive fresh fruits and vegetables at each pantry visit. Choosing to remain anonymous, the benefactor previously donated hundreds of pounds of fresh produce each year during the pantry’s annual Christmas food giveaway. These donations now arrive weekly for 60-75 households.

The variety includes potatoes, onions, tomatoes, celery, bananas, honeydew, apples, oranges and more. Volunteers bag the fresh items and include them along with canned and dry goods, milk, bakery and frozen foods. In addition to a vast array of foodstuffs donated by The Commission on Economic Opportunity (CEO) twice a month, the new Pittston Wal-Mart donates from 100 to 1,000 lbs. of nearly expired dry goods, bakery items and frozen meats twice a week.

Monetary donations are used to purchase milk delivered each week at cost from Blue Ribbon Dairy. The dairy also donates

free milk for 350 households each Christmas.

Volunteers use their own trucks and vans to pick-up most donated items from CEO, Wal-Mart and local schools and churches. Recently, a commercial van was donated to the pantry to aid in picking up donated items.

The citizens and various groups of the Greater Pittston community have become ’goodwill ambassadors’ and benefactors through their continued donations of monies, foodstuffs and personal hygiene items such as hair care products, soap, toothpaste, etc.

Too numerous to list by name are the churches, schools, scout troops, Red Hat Societies, athletic teams, VFWs, fire depts., businesses and others who have held food drives. The National Association of Postal Carriers recently netted 800 pounds of food for the pantry.

Random notes on the news Bean sprouts warning Americans who did not go to all-day kindergarten wrote the Declaration of Independence, defeated Hitler, invented heavier than air flight, discovered penicillin, developed vaccines.

Americans who did not go to all-day Kindergarten split the atom, invented telephones, radios, TVs, computers.

Americans who did not go to all-day kindergarten flew to the moon, wrote Tom Sawyer and Take Me out to the Ballgame, and found and killed Osama bin Laden.

So what will happen if the state budget cuts eliminate full-day kindergarten? There will be a lot of wailing and hand wringing among those vested in such things, but what will happen in the long run?

Nothing will happen.

Nothing will happen except there will be no full-day kindergarten. No one will die or be sent to the juvie, people will adjust and life will go on.

The protests that went on in the Crestwood school district over the potential loss of all-day kindergarten were ridiculous. Six-year-olds holding up protest signs and delivering bags of KoolAid money to the school board, please, gimme a break.

As if we are to believe a six-year-old cares if kindergarten is half-day or all-day.

And what will happen if art programs and junior high sports programs are cut because of state budget cuts?

Nothing will happen except there will be no art programs and no junior high sports. School will go on. Life will go on and people will adjust.

And what will happen if the state budget cuts $3 million from the new medical college in Scranton?

Nothing will happen except the college will have $3 million less to spend.

And the school’s president said as much saying

County takes a hit

A state hearing examiner – who apparently didn’t go to all-day kindergarten or he’d be good enough at math to know Luzerne County is broke – ordered the county to rehire 36 workers and pay all their lost wages and benefits. That’s going to cost the county more than $1 million a year not counting health insurance and other benefits.

What do these 36 workers do? They work for an agency which finds jobs for adults and underprivileged youths. Wouldn’t you love to know how many jobs these 36 workers found for $1 million?

And what’s the county doing running such a program anyway?

According to a Michelle Malkin column I read recently the federal government spends $18 billion a year on 47 separate job-training programs run by nine different agencies.

And nobody knows if they work because they haven’t been reviewed in almost 10 years.

The state also runs multiple jobs programs under the Department of Labor and Industry.

So we need one at the county level?

Talk about redundancy.

ues to grow. More than 700 families within the Pittston Area and Wyoming Area School Districts are served. Families whose incomes fall within 150% of the Federal Government’s Poverty Guidelines are eligible to receive food every 5 weeks.

A new category of ‘increased need’ has recently been established for 200 families whose incomes are 25% of poverty.

Households whose incomes range from zero to several hundred dollars per month (depending on the number of persons within the household) may now schedule an appointment for food every 3 weeks.

In spite of the volume of food donated, the pantry is a Supplemental Food Program which does not meet a family’s food needs for more than several days.

As grateful as we are for all who donate, our need is so great that donations are always welcomed. Food can be delivered to the St. John the Evangelist parish office at 35 William St., Pittston, or monetary gifts can be sent to the same address made out to The Greater Pittston Food Pantry.

Gratefully yours Peggy Burke Food Pantry Coordinator

For many weeks we have been following the E coli outbreak in Germany. It’s the largest food outbreak in history for this particular pathogen, E coli. Some readers might question how E coli could get into bean sprouts when much of the media has focused on this particular pathogen contaminating ground beef?

Our faculty, Luke LaBorde has stated to the media that the process used to germinate seeds is ideal for growing pathogens. “Abundant nutrients are present, along with high levels of moisture – and the warm temperatures needed for the sprouting process help to ensure survival and growth of bacteria,” he said. If you want to read the entire story, visit: http://live.psu.edu/story/53862.

But how did the E coli get in the seed to begin with?

The seeds can be contaminated themselves either by bacteria in animal manure in the field that they were grown in or during pos tharvest storage. Dr. LaBorde comments that in the United States, the seeds usually are pre-treated with concentrated bleach solutions, and wash water that flows through the sprouts is collected and tested for bacteria such as E. coli. Penn State still recommends that precautions be taken when eating bean sprouts.

Folks like the very young, the very old, pregnant and those who are having medical conditions that suppress the immune system are at risk for food borne illness. These folks should evaluate the risk before deciding to eat raw bean sprouts.

For more information on the safety of bean sprouts, call our office at 825-1701 and ask for a copy of our Penn State brochure “What You Should Know about Sprouts.”

Meanwhile, there are other toppings for salads and sandwiches besides the traditional croutons. Here are just a few: Shredded yellow squash, carrots or zucchini Shredded spinach Chopped peanuts and or walnuts Chopped water chestnuts Dry Chinese Noodles Summer is a great time to experiment with making your own salad dressings too. Lettuces are now available at farmers markets along with carrots, radishes and green beans. Try making this dressing to drizzle over the farm fresh greens.

First start with an acid like cider vinegar, lemon juice or balsamic vinegar. Add equal amounts of water, then add your favorite spices and top off with extra virgin olive oil.

Here is how: 1/4 cup cider vinegar, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or red wine vinegar 1/4 cup water Favorite spice like basil, oregano, dill, 1 Tablespoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt or omit Freshly ground pepper 1/2 teaspoon sugar or honey 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil Mix spices with vinegars or lemon juice. Add salt and sugar. Shake again. Add oil and shake a second time. Store dressing in the refrigerator. Enjoy! To add an Italian flare, add 2 tbsp of tomato paste and omit half of the vinegar.

For more information on “Making an Olive Oil Salad Dressing” call our office for our latest handout.

None of this would be possible without the parish community of St. John the Evangelist lending the former Seton Catholic High School building and contributing to its upkeep.

Nor would it be possible without the dedicated volunteers who serve with a smile each week.

Thank you to all who make this ministry of helping others possible.

Sadly, along with the outpouring of support, the need contin-

the cuts won’t impact the college’s core mission to train new doctors and medical professionals.

If that’s the case, why did the school need the $3 million in the first place?

But back to the public school cuts. Cutting all-day kindergarten, art and junior high sports may be survivable, but is that really the way to cut spending?

Typically 70 percent of a public school’s budget is salaries, benefits and pension funding. So cutting junior high sports to balance a budget would be like cutting the waterboy instead of the backup multi-million dollar quarterback to balance an NFL budget.

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 2011

Father Dan honored on 25th anniversary Father Dan Schwebs, OSJ, celebrated on Sunday, May 22, at St. Rocco’s Church, Pittston, his 25th anniversary of priesthood.

A reception followed the Mass at St. Anthony’s Parish Center, Exeter.

Father Dan was ordained a priest on May 24, 1986, by Bishop James C. Timlin, D.D., former Bishop of Scranton.

During his 25 years of priesthood, Fr. Dan has served locally as both assistant pastor and pastor of St. Rocco’s Church; pastor of St. Anthony’s Church, Exeter; and temporary administrator of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church, Pittston.

He is currently vice-rector of the Oblates Seminary, Laflin.

Pictured are scenes from the event.

Question #1 Michael Smigel of Duryea received an Air Force award for performing a duty most would think impossible. What was it?

Peeking into the past With Judy Minsavage

1956 – 55 Years Ago In 1956, Robert Dillon and John Golden, co-chairmen of the May Park Association in Port Griffith, planned for their annual picnic. New refreshments stands, war memorial and ocean-wave kiddie rides were readied for the event.

The Port Griffith Boy Scouts under the direction of Nick Spatz helped to give the park a face-lift.

The park was organized on July 25, 1922, and dedicated on September 4 of the same year. Pennsylvania Coal Company donated men and equipment to help in construction and in appreciation the park was named after Captain William A. May who was associated with the company.

Port Griffith’s oldest residents Mrs. John Noone and James Norris Sr., joined the two youngest Alice Dillon and Terry Burke to raise a flag in commemoration of the opening day celebration. The first officers of the park association were Patrick Delaney, Michael Martin, John Killian, James Morris, James Devers Jr., and Nicholas Mangan, Jr. Stauffer Chevrolet advertised the “sureness of control that no other regular production car can equal” available in the 1956 Chevrolet BelAir. Beautiful but a “tomboy” the 1956 Chevy broke records at the Darlington Raceway by racing 2,438 miles in 24 hours topping a stock car record by 280 miles. Recently a 1956 red hard top sold for $49,500 at RM Auctions.

1956 marked the 50th anniversary of the dedication of the Fort Pittston Monument. The marker, which was erected at the Fort Pittston School, commemorates the gallant stand by American troops and settlers against the British in July, 1778. It is located at the Intersection of North Main and Parsonage streets. The large stone monument erected under the auspices of the Dial Rock Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was quarried from land owned by Ernest Schmaltz of Pittston Township and unveiled on July 4, 1906.

The marker erected on land donated by J.E. Patterson marks the southern side of Pittston Fort.

1976 – 35 Years Ago The year saw the St. John Evangelist High School designated a central Catholic high school and its name changed to Seton Catholic High School. St. John’s opened its doors in 1864 staffed with members of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The charter for the school was granted in 1900. Bishop Hoban laid a cornerstone for a new school in 1920 and years later in 1960, a devastating fire hit the school.

Named after Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, the school was credited with advancing Catholic education in the United States.

Jenkins Township Little Leaguers looked forward to using the brand new stadium located at May Park in Port Griffith. John Para, chairman of the board of supervisors, announced the new field would be named after Mary Gowran who served the township for many years. Today the field is known as JTWPLL complex and is located on May Street in Port Griffith the site of many great summer games.

Mabel Quick and Elizabeth Davenport of Hughestown were doing something they truly enjoyed while raising money for Hughestown Hose Company.

Both women designed and made more than 87 dolls with colorful crocheted dresses and hats. The fundraiser was a success as orders continued to mount the women worked tirelessly to keep up with the demand.

Debbie Desiderio, Lynda Chmielewski, Joyce Dombroski, Sandy Selenski, Jane Lyons, Doreen Dzanis, Patti Lishewski and Kathy Ceklosky competed for the title of Miss Polish America. One of the lucky girls would be selected at the Polish Day event chaired

by Martin Satkowski and being held at Pocono Downs Raceway. If anyone knows who won the title, please call me at 602-0168.

1986 – 25 Years Ago Andy Griglock of West Pittston was set to participate in an historic event scheduled for July 4, 1986. A member of 18-member group from Mansfield University, Andy was invited to perform at the unveiling of the multi-million dollar refurbished Statue of Liberty. He trav-

eled over several weeks to New York for rehearsals. During the festivities President Ronald Reagan declared, “We are the keepers of the flame of liberty; we hold it high for the world to see.” At the unveiling, the president pressed a button that sent a laser beam across the water toward the statue. A brilliant light show unveiled the statue.

1996 – 15 Years Ago Lisa Bukowski of Avoca took three track medals in the 200, 400 and 100meter run and Jessica Soy of Duryea took two medals in swimming in the 100-meter freestyle and 50-meter backstroke at the Pennsylvania State Special Olympics held at Penn State University.

Question #2 What did Greater Pittston couples Peter and Agnes Podwika, Jake and Agnes Konopka and George and Mary Race have in common in 1996?

Answer #1 Michael Smigel performed 750 hours as an aircraft observer. The Ground Observer Corps was a Civil Defense program to protect against air attack during World War II. By 1952, the US radar system could not easily detect low flying aircraft so the program was expanded with a new organizational plan named Operation Skywatch. Smigel’s special talent was his ability to detect aircraft by sound, as he was blind. For this feat, he received a special award from the Air Force. To read more about the history of the Observer Corp go to airforce-magazine.com Answer #2 Peter and Agnes Ondek Podwika, Jake and Agnes Zavada Konopka and George and Mary Race were married on the same day at 9, 10 and 11 a.m. respectively in St. John the Baptist Church in June 1946. The three couples were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversaries with their families.

As young men returned from serving in the armed forces during World War II, many planned to marry their hometown sweetheart. The surge of marriages beginning in 1946 created the Baby Boom generation which influenced social and economic effects still being studied today.

It’s surprising how much memory is built around things unnoticed at the time.

1966 – 45 Years Ago

Maria Capolarella’s Oregon Drillerettes were in demand. The Pocono Downs requested that the baton-twirling unit perform at the track during functions under the name of the Pocono Downs Golden Strutters. The girls would perform at events such as Children’s’ Day and opening night. Members of the group were Marilyn and Michele Capolarella, Gloria Macario, Alma Murphy, Debbie Conroy, Sandra Roman, Frances Casper, Donna and Debbie Brogna, Mary Lou Sciandra, Ann Marie Mantione, Gail Bleyer, Cindy Savokinas, Susan LaMarca, Mary Policare, Patti Roman, Judy Lenza, Georgine Tramontana, Donna Boylan, Karen Giamusso, Tina Falcone, Catherine Perry, Mary Ellen Murtha, Angela Macario, Laura Spudis, Susan Mantione, Pamela Russo, Lisa Biscotti, Jeta Mastruzzo and Louise Falcone. The unit, which began in 1962, had a color guard consisting of Frank Roman, Bobby Macario, John Casper, Sam Mastruzzo and Ross DePhillips.

With the merger of the Pittston and Northeast school districts at hand, the first meeting of the Patriots Booster Club was held. Wes Roberts, Phil Adonizio, Harold Costello, Lou DeGrose, Ann Luvender, Bill Giles and Val Delia, members of the by-laws committee, were set to secure a charter. Coaches Bob Barbieri and Gene Guarilia suggested the purchase of a seven-man sled for football and rebounding machine for basketball. Don Major was in charge of publicity and chairman of Albert West Park concessions committee.

Directors held their final meeting as members of the Northeast School district board. Mrs. Wilbur Schultz, John Adonizio, and Martin Williams of Hughestown; Frank Pupa, Joseph DeSanto and Anna Lillis, Pittston Twp; Leonard Wendolowski, Chester Korpusik and Larry McNulty of Duryea; John Boone, Francis Woods and Ray McAndrew of Avoca; Terrence Burke, Joseph Soltis, and Joseph Delaney, Jenkins Twp; Ed Plisga, Andrew Sevec, and Andrew Chrobak, Dupont; Malcolm DeLuca and John Gighliello, Yatesville. Northeast School District would cease to exist on July 1, 1966.

John “Moose” Demich was the hero of the game as the pitcher of the J.P.Cutters team in the Dispatch Slow Pitch softball league. Throwing a nohitter against the VFW Moose team, he was also responsible for four hits, three singles and a double, which were good for three runs.

A week earlier, City officials announced the demolition of two buildings and the purchase of two others on Main Street during Wednesday night’s City Council meeting.

The city bought the building at 30 S. Main St., commonly known as the Wayne’s World building, about six months ago.

At the time, city officials believed the building could be restored. A more thorough assessment after the purchase revealed that it would be far more cost-effective to demolish the building.

The demolition will be paid for with existing state grant funds.

City Manager Joseph Moskowitz said the city considers it a priority to preserve as much of the downtown as possible. This was the original intent in purchasing the Wayne’s World building.

The former used record and DVD shop, owned by Wayne Sorbelli, had been a staple in Pittston since 1997. After the 2010 demolition of the former Pittston Billiard, structural damage was noticed at the building.

The store closed a short time later.

Before the closure, Sorbelli had already opened another larger store in his current hometown of Dallas with a stronger focus on instrument sales and

I kind of piecemeal myself out.

Whatever the project is.

I wanted to support Fred Pierantoni for judge. I wasn’t comfortable going after other candidates, but when you rally behind someone and carry them across the finish line that’s the way to do it.

So we looked at his website and we saw some area for improvement. So we made a sister site, put our own graphics on it.

“The great thing about Pittston was the location,” Sorbelli said.

“I serviced walk-in customers from the community, and I loved it.”

If he were able to find an ideal location on Main Street, Sorbelli stated, he would like to open a store similar to the one operated in Dallas.

The former Valley Cat Rescue at 79 S. Main St. will also be demolished. Unlike the Wayne’s World Building, this is not owned by the city.

The council also announced the purchase of the Lezza building at 111 S. Main St. and the Firemark building on South Main Street for $70,000.

Lower Lackawanna Sanitary Authority bills due June 30 tions required bills to be mailed to the owner of the property and not the tenant. Any agreement between owner and tenant is in no way a concern of the authority. The homeowner is solely responsible for the bill at LLVSA. The LLVSA payment can also be made at the Medicine Shoppe in Old Forge, Llewellyn’s in Avoca or the Hub in Dupont. However, senior citizen discount cannot be applied at these locations.

Senior citizens who provided proof of age with photo ID or driver’s license with their bill for the first quarter, 2011 should have the reflected discount of $6 already applied to the bill. Anyone age sixty-two and older and owning and residing in the home and accounts current, qualify for a ten percent discount on their sewer bill. Businesses and tenant

occupied units do not qualify for the senior citizen’s discount.

The LLVSA is accepting over the telephone payments with Master Card and Visa credit card/debit cards only. Call the LLVSA business office at 6551665 to make a payment. Any customer using their on-line banking system must verify that the correct LLVSA account number is one the check and that one one check per payment is issued for every individual account. Some banks only provide one account number on the check and do not provide LLVSA with the address to match the account number for verification. This will prevent the wrong LLVSA account from being incorrectly applied.

The LLVSA would like to thank all students from the fol-

lowing school, Old Forge, Riverside, Holy Rosary, Duryea and Pittston Area for their participation in the 2011 Earth Day Poster contest. Everyone did a wonderful job and the winning students received over $18,000 in savings bonds.

Duryea Class of ’53 donates money for swing set

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 26, 2011 PAGE 36

$100,000 grant announced to build municipal garage At the June meeting of Borough Council, Stan Knick, President of Council, announced a $100,000 grant approved through Senator Blake’s office and the DCED for the municipal garage with the balance of $170,000 through the Chamber and State Representative Michael Carroll.

Once the formal paperwork is processed the checks will be released and the municipal project will begin in early fall of this year.

Stop signs and a 15 mph speed limit was proposed for Quail Hill based on the recommendation of the survey conducted by Sgt Saranchuk and the police department.

The solicitor will prepare an ordinance and it will be advertised and added to next’s month meeting for approval.

Dupont Borough will send an application for 2011/12 gaming monies for paving Simpson, Lincoln, Smith, Curtain streets.

Letters have been sent to Senator Blake and Representative Carroll applying for $50,000: $20,000 for new windows in the administration office and new energy saving lighting and $30,000 for a police vehicle.

Proposals for patch pave work were read and discussed by council.

Councilmen Mark Kowalczyk explained at the meeting that the idea for this project was that certain streets including sections of Simpson Street are in bad condition especially at the intersections. His thought was to mill the intersection and pave to hold the streets together until funding is available to surface the entire street.

He noted that monies for this project are not through grant funding but from limited borough funds and therefore the best that can be done now is to patch pave.

Council will review and try to come up with a method of payment for this work and have an answer by next month’s meeting.

Resident John Tetlack presented a proposal to create a community garden on the land that was to be a sports complex on Garden Drive.

He noted that there are grants available for going green and that the land would now have a

WA students ‘Best and Brightest’ Impressions Media honors ‘bee’ champ

S. JOHN WILKIN/THE TIMES LEADER

Wyoming Area Best and Brightest finalists. Seated from left to right: Karis Calvitti, Linnae Homza, and Caitlin Vitale Standing: Ronald Klepadlo.

Wyoming Area consistently has had seniors selected as finalists and winners in The Times Leader’s Best and Brightest high school student competition. This year was no different.

Caitlin Vitale was the winner in the English & Literature category. Caitlin is the daughter of Michael and Molly Vitale, West Pittston. She will be attending Misericordia University majoring in Speech/Language Pathology.

Caitlin developed a love of reading dating back to her parents reading to her as a very young child and this love for books and reading continued to develop. As a result whenever she had a chance to be around books she took advantage, volunteering at the West Pittston Library and then becoming a summer employee. Along the way she also developed a love for writing.

Caitlin serves as President of the National Honor Society and participates in Student Council, journalism and film clubs and is a member of the field hockey and soccer teams.

She sees graduation as bittersweet. “I will miss Wyoming Area and all that it has given to me but at the same time I am ready to move on and see what I can accomplish outside of high school.”

Linnae Homza, finalist in the Service to Community category, is the daughter of Steve and Donna Homza, Exeter.

Linnae serves as President of Wyoming Area’s Key Club having joined as a freshman. She was elected Vice President as a Junior and was also selected as a Distinguished VP as a Junior.

She was selected as Distinguished President as a Senior.

WA’s Key Club during Linnae’s presidency was designated Diamond Level Distinguishment, the only club in Pennsylvania to receive this recognition.

Linnae has left her mark on the WA Key Club with all of the work she has done and projects she has helped accomplish.

Her future plans will have her majoring in Biology at the University of the Sciences. She would like to be a doctor someday.

Ronald Klepadlo, finalist in the Service to Community category, is the son of Juel Anne and Ronald Klepadlo, West Pittston.

Ronald serves as the Treasurer of the following school organizations: Key Club during his junior and senior years, FBLA, Senior Class and National Honor Society. In addition he is the executive board Secretary of Stu-

Prashant Shitut, president of Impressions Media, the company that owns The Times Leader and several other multimedia businesses in Northeastern Pennsylvania including the Sunday Dispatch, presented framed copies of pages of the paper to Sukanya Roy of South Abington Township. Roy was the 2009, 2010 and 2011 winner of The Times Leader/Scripps NEPA Regional Spelling Bee and the 2011 winner of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Her gift – a framed copy of the news coverage she earned with her national victory – was presented at PNC Field, home of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, at The Times Leader’s ‘Newspapers In Education Night.’ Roy also threw out the ceremonial first pitch prior to the game.

dent Council, is a pitcher on the high school baseball team and is President of the Spanish Club.

Ron attributes his dedication to service and his strong work ethic to the examples set by his maternal grandmother, Madeline Casey. As a young boy she would take him along on her many service projects.

Ronald’s major accomplishment was winning the Key Club individual service award at the state Key Club convention as a junior and senior. This award was granted to him for having the most service hours in the state of Pennsylvania. Ronald has volunteered over 3000 hours of community service through Key Club and other school and community activities the past four years.

Some of the other awards he has received include Key Club Distinguished Treasurer award and the Melberger Baseball Award whose criteria include good character, leadership qualities, service to school and community as well as success in the classroom and on the baseball diamond.

In the fall Ronald will be found on the campus of St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia majoring in Education and Spanish.

Karisa Calvitti, finalist in the Computer & Technology category, is the daughter of Camille Calvitti, Exeter. She will be attending Lycoming College in the fall majoring in digital communications.

Karisa has been an active member of Key Club, the WAVE and the Drama Club. Outside of school she has been a lifelong participant in the Girls Scouts.

She feels that all her hard work throughout high school has paid off with her selection in this prestigious program. “I was in great company not only in my category but among all the other finalists,” Karisa remarked.

Her feelings about Wyoming Area are summed up as follows: “I can honestly say that there are many things about WA I am going to miss, especially the teachers, I have had so many supportive teachers. Without their support I would probably never have stumbled upon my love and challenge for video production. I feel sad yet excited when thinking about graduation. I am sad about leaving behind the comfort and familiarity of home and the friends I have known my whole life. Yet at the same time I am excited to break out and create a place for myself in the real world.”

Luzerne County Community College will offer courses during its second summer session at the College’s campus in Nanticoke.

Classes begin on Monday, July 11, and end on Tuesday, August 9.

Final exams will be held on Wednesday, August 10.
