Finally, a decent burial They blew up the 8th Street Bridge Thursday. Actually, they blew it down. Technically, it was imploded. But anyway you say it, the 111-year-old span is gone and I, for one, am glad. Not because I didn’t like the 8th Street Bridge. Just the opposite. I’m glad it’s gone because I loved it. And I couldn’t bear to see it standing all dark and rusted and forlorn-looking right next to the brand, spanking new one. Now I won’t have to. I felt the same way about the original Yankee Stadium as I walked past it on my way to a game at the new stadium two summers ago. I had thought the original park was gone. I wasn’t prepared to see it standing there with tears in its eyes. Check that, the tears were in mine. This is wrong, I kept thinking, as I attempted to keep my head down. “The House that Ruth Built” deserves better. It should not have to endure our gaping stares.
Ultimately, however, I just could not turn away. I stopped and took a good, long, sad look and the thing that struck me and the thing I will remember forever is that Yankee Stadium, incredibly, seemed small. Not at all the majestic wonder I experienced at my first Major League game when Mickey Mantle still patrolled centerfield. Christians call burying the dead a “Corporal Work of Mercy” and, gazing upon the unburied dead of Yankee Stadium and the 8th Street Bridge tells you why. The dead, even the inanimate dead, deserve a decent burial. Just as I was not prepared to see a dead Yankee Stadium, so too was I not prepared for the dead 8th Street Bridge. In fact, I was all too quick to disregard it. And I paid a price. The day I heard the new span linking Wyoming Borough and the Port Blanchard section of Jenkins Township was open for traffic, my wife and I were out
and about on the West Side and I got the bright idea of taking the long way home so we could drive over the new bridge. Huge mistake. I had callously not considered what seeing the old bridge, so close when driving on the new one you sensed you could reach out and touch it, would do to me emotionally. Just as with Yankee Stadium I didn’t want to look but knew I had to. The drive may have taken a minute, if that, but it seemed much longer. On the other side, I sped northward along the river with my eyes affixed to the road and pronounced, “I will never come this way again while that poor bridge is still standing.” Thinking a suitable mourning period had elapsed, I violated my edict once to give someone a ride home and wound up regretting it. The 8th Street Bridge gave me a look of “how could you?” and for the remaining several months I put a lot of extra miles on my car making
sure it didn’t happen again. It was the least I could do for an old, faithful friend. Everyone who grew up around here knows the 8th Street Bridge as the ultimate driving test, a rite of passage to be conquered – at the tender age of 16 – if ever you were to call yourself a driver. The bridge was always barely wide enough for two cars to pass safely and when I was a teen the surface was not pavement but metal creating a sense, true or not, of driving on ice. Traversing it behind the wheel for the first time was harrowing. And yet invigorating. And all those who accomplished it know what I mean. But one of my most memorable experiences with the bridge came before I was old enough to drive. My buddy, Joe Leone and I, perhaps sophomores in high school at the time, decided to walk to a Pittston High football game in Wyoming and that meant crossing the bridge on foot. It was about three-and-a-
half miles each way and by the time we got back to Pittston we felt as heroic as anyone who had played in the game. Thirty years later, in far better shape at 45 than I was at 15, I ran over that bridge regularly. It was the half-way point of a six-mile loop that started and ended at the Pittston YMCA. Perhaps my most striking memory of the 8th Street Bridge, however, came on the night of June 22, 1972. My best bud at the time, Danny Lorenzini, and I were out on the town. I was driving and in the middle of the bridge as we headed to his home in Exeter, Danny blurted, “Oh, my God, Eddie, look at the river!” The next morning, the Flood of 1972 was in full glory and I didn’t see Danny again for three days. I’ve always suspected we were the last ones to cross the 8th Street Bridge that night. Look at me, will you, sharing memories of the departed the way people always do at funerals. Thanks for letting me.

OUT WITH THE OLD
111-year-old 8th Street Bridge demolished; new span has taken its place By Matt Hughes
The Times Leader
It sounded like blasts from a double-barreled shotgun. Bang-bang. Then, before the crowd that assembled on River Road to watch the demolition could catch its breath and cheer, the steel trusses that held the old Eighth Street Bridge aloft for 111 years hit the Susquehanna. Well, half of them anyway. At 12:04 p.m. Thursday, demolition crews from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation demolished the Jenkins Township side of the Eighth Street bridge, which links the
township with Wyoming. “I was shocked. (It was) my first bridge explosion,” said Evan Herbert, of Taylor, one of about 200 who gathered in front of Brews Brothers on River Road to watch the demolition. “It was like a shotgun; two blasts,” his mother, Diane Herbert added. Crews actually used three sets of charges to take down the bridge – 200 pounds of dynamite in all – but the first two blasts were the most audible. They severed the road surface first from the Jenkins Township embankment and then a split-second later at the center, between the midSee BRIDGE, Page 16

BAZAAR HAPPENINGS
First Baptist Church, Pittston, Nativity, Duryea, up today Festivals next weekend at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel/St. Rocco and St. Mary’s/SS. Peter & Paul parishes The annual picnic of Nativity of Our Lord Parish, Duryea, formed with the merger of Sacred Heart of Jesus and Holy Rosary churches, concludes tonight at the grounds behind Sacred Heart Church on Stephenson St., Duryea.

Tonight’s picnic also includes a flea market, bingo, kids’ games, cash raffle, baskets, auction, and game booths. Music tonight will be by Jude’s Polka Jets. You can start your day on the grounds of First Baptist Church, Water Street, Pittston, by enjoying a free picnic provided by parishioners. There will be food, music and fellowship.

Hughestown next Saturday, July 16. The second annual “Picnic in the Park” is free of charge and open to everyone. It’s sort of Hughestown’s way of saying, we’re a small town and we like it that way. Come out and see why. The event is from noon to 5 p.m. with free hamburgers, hot dogs, coleslaw, olives and pickles, chips and pretzels, and desserts. Covered dish donations are welcomed but not necessary. A DJ will be on hand livening things up with music and kids can get their faces painted or enjoy a free pony ride, which is new this year. There will be an egg toss competition, horseshoes, sack races, water balloon toss and basketball. A special feature will be a dunk tank with local celebrities. The event is co-sponsored by Hughestown Borough and Wyoming Valley Alcohol & Drug Services, Inc. Carmen Ambrosino, executive director of the latter, is a Hughestown resident and chaired the fund drive to remodel Robert Yaple Park.

OUR OPINION
A fair question
There’s a running gag that if you live in Greater Pittston long enough you’ll wind up being related to everyone. What makes it funny is that so many of us can relate, pun intended and appropriate. Family reunions around here draw massive crowds. That’s why we all get a little uneasy at the sound of the word “nepotism.” It’s risky business to point a finger when, down the road, fingers may be pointing at you. That’s also why the question being asked of Pittston Area School Board member Bob Linskey right now is a fair one. It’s being asked bluntly by a letter writer on this page and quietly by just about everyone else. Linskey, a minority board member since his first election, has questioned many a hiring at Pittston Area, so his daughter’s being named to a summer teaching position, while only temporary and without a vote from her father, who abstained, has raised eyebrows. Unfortunately, the person hurt most in these situations is the relative hired. We wish Bob Linskey’s daughter no illwill and feel sorry for her that she is in this position. We’d be surprised if she is not a fine person and an excellent teacher. We just think Bob owes everyone an explanation.

Says nepotism is ‘alive and well’ at Pittston Area
It’s said the best things in live are free and that’s true. But don’t expect to be fed. That is, of course, unless you attend the annual parking lot picnic today at the First Baptist Church, Pittston, (noon to 3) or the second annual “Picnic in the Park” next Saturday at Hughestown’s Robert Yaple Park (noon to 5). Both events offer free food and a promise a lot of fun. The Hughestown picnic even includes free pony rides for the kids. They both offer something else free of charge: fellowship. And that might be the best part of all. Try to attend.
Talk is cheap and some things never change at Pittston Area no matter who is in the majority. At a recent board meeting the board hired Bob Linskey’s daughter as a part-time summer school teacher at 32 bucks an hour. Go figure. Sure Linskey abstained, but seven board members voted to put his daughter on. Bruce Knick was absent. And, I have to admit I became nauseated for a couple reasons. First, let’s drop back in time when Linskey ran two years ago against Joe Oliveri’s ticket. Remember the debate with Linskey and Oliveri at my kitchen table? When asked his position on nepotism, Linskey responded, “I have a real problem with blatant nepotism.” Mr. Linksey, I’ve got news for you, nepotism is nepotism. It’s kinda like being a little bit pregnant. When I pressed him further during the debate asking what he would do if his daughter applied for a position, he said, “It’s a hypothetical I don’t want to get in to.” Hmmm. I wonder why?
He also said, “She (Linskey’s daughter) said, ‘dad I won’t ever apply for a job at Pittston Area.’” Next, I’m even more disappointed with Rich Gorzkowski. You see, this past election, Gorzkowski took a “No Nepotism Pledge” with fellow independent candidates Tony Tuttle and Bob Lampman. The Sunday Dispatch went as far as singing their praises in their editorial the Sunday before election. Like I said – talk is cheap. I’m hoping to see Bob Lampman at the next meeting taking Linskey and Gorzkowski to task. Put both these guys on the hot seat like he did with Joe Oliveri and company. Now, I know exactly those who are supportive of Linskey are going to say – hey it’s only a few hours a day for a couple weeks. Or, no one else applied; she was most qualified; what’s the big deal? I wonder if the 30 applicants who were listed on the agenda this month who applied for a job would’ve liked to make 32 bucks an hour for just a couple of weeks? Joe Valenti

Greensky Bluegrass in Jim Thorpe Friday The markets are open
They might not even like banjos or dobros; they like the words. Either way, it’s cool with us.” After spending more than a decade as a touring warhorse, the band has helped garner attention by playing some of the more popular music festivals in the country. Along with its multiple appearances at Telluride, the band has played numerous others including the All Good Festival in West Virginia, and this years’ edition of Bonnaroo, where they played three different sets in one day. “Festivals can be a big part of that too,” he said. “This weekend for example, at the Grey Fox Music Festival, is pretty focused on bluegrass and our style of instrumentation. They do a schedule that’s more progressive throughout the day. Earlier in the day, you’ll get the old-timey bluegrass and folk music. Then it gets more rock and roll as the night goes on. We’re the closing act the first two nights, so that’s where we’ve moved one step farther away from the bluegrass side of that festival. On the flipside, at All Good, if the schedule has been confirmed, I’m sure there won’t be more than one banjo there at time, maybe two (laugh). I’m not sure if we’re there the same day as Yonder Mountain String Band, or anyone else who would have a banjo. We’re on the opposite side there. And that balance of the two is what’s really important to us. We like both sides and we like drawing people
in from various proponents.” During the festivals, the band has met many other bluegrass and string bands who have been working to help the newgrass scene blossom. It may come as no surprise, but Hoffman remembers playing a gig with a certain string band from WilkesBarre. “We’ve actually played with Cabinet before,” he said. “We played a show with them a couple of years ago, somewhere in Pennsylvania. It might have been their hometown.” For a band known for its long and jammy live shows, recording studio albums could seem a bit challenging. While Hoffman admits there are some difficulties doing the live-to-studio transition, this Fall, the band plans to release its latest effort “Handguns,” which he says will feature some road-tested material and new unheard tracks which showcase the bands musical evolution. “This one is actually self-produced, which was really exciting,” he said. “We were in a different studio environment then we’ve been in in the past…There’s a couple songs on there that people haven’t heard that much, and a couple they haven’t heard at all. There are some challenges there and we did record one tune that I wrote quite a while ago. It was designed to be more of a live exploSee BEAT, Page 18
If you are planning a trip to your local farmer’s market, here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your trip from Colorado State University Cooperative Extension. • Go early. For the best selection and quality, go when the market first opens. • Browse before buying. Do an initial walk through of the market to see what is available. Take time to sample and compare the offerings of different vendors, and ask when foods were picked. • Try not to over-buy. Rather than purchasing more food than you likely can consume, plan to visit your farmer’s market more often so that you can purchase and eat food while it is the freshest. • Try something new. Delicious new fruits and vegetables not available at corporate supermarkets often can be found at farmer’s markets. Try to buy one new item each time you go. • Make it a family affair. Take your kids when you go. Farmer’s markets offer a great way to learn how food is grown and what it looks like in it’s just picked shape. Let your child pick one or two fruits or vegetables they would like to try. • Plan to go straight home from the farmer’s market. Leaving fresh produce in a hot car can wilt it. If you can’t head directly home, bring a cooler to help preserve the more delicate items. • Wash your hands and produce before you take a bite. If you plan to eat that peach or plum you just bought before getting home, be sure to find a place to wash it first. One of the finest and low calorie foods found at the market is summer squash. Here is a squash recipe from “Squash the Garden Hero.” If you would like a copy of the Extension publication, call or email our office at 825-1701 or mre2@psu.edu. Marinated Summer Salad
When you have an abundance of garden tomatoes, serve this salad in hollowed-out tomato cups. Note, this is a very low sodium recipe 1/4 cup olive oil 3 tablespoon orange juice 1 tablespoon white vinegar 3 cloves minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley1 tablespoon minced fresh or 1/3 teaspoon dried mint leaves 1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 2 pounds fresh, small yellow squash, cut into 2-1/4 inch julienne strips lettuce or spinach leaves To make dressing: Combine olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, garlic, parsley, mint, orange rind, oregano leaves in a jar; cover tightly and shake vigorously to blend. To make salad: Place squash in a steamer basket or metal colander. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a Dutch oven or heavy pot with a tightly fitting lid; place steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam 4 minutes, or until squash is just tender. Remove basket from Dutch oven or pot, and transfer squash to a large bowl. Shake salad dressing, pour over hot squash. Cool to room temperature, stirring frequently. Serve immediately over lettuce leaves or chill thoroughly before serving. Serves: 8-10 Mary R.

They’ve been around for more than a decade, but chances are you haven’t heard of them. They’ve played Bonnaroo, All Good, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and numerous other festivals, but you might have overlooked them. But one listen to the crafty music of Kalamazoo Michigan’s own Greensky Bluegrass and it’s easy to see why the band has been getting a ton of much-deserved recognition after being one of the hardest touring acts of the last decade. When they formed in late 2000, the bluegrass scene was probably the farthest thing from being accepted into the mainstream, but Greensky Bluegrass – Paul Hoffman, Dave Bruzza, Michael Bont, Anders Beck and Mike Devol – stuck with its passion and toured relentlessly until 2006 when the outfit was propelled into the national scene by winning the Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition. Through those kind of accolades, and with some help from bluegrass being a part of other media, the band has been riding high on the recent resurgence of the genre, which many people like to call “newgrass.” “There’s been a couple movements in bluegrass and newgrass that have helped it gain popularity…like when ‘Dueling Banjos’ was in ‘Deliverance.’ Stuff like that which helped get the movement into the mainstream,” Hoffman said. “I think in other ways, it was better to be part of a new genre and play to a niche. Once you get in front of the right people, they all tell each other and you can form your own community. What the bands do to branch outside the niche and get people from other genres, or whatever you want to call it, is really interesting, and sort of separates bands. We might pull in Grateful Dead fans because we play some of their music. We might pull in some passionate bluegrass fans because we have a great banjo player. Or we could pull in folk fans because of mine or Dave’s style of songwriting.

Bridge Continued from Page 3
dle two of the bridge’s four segments. A third blast then destroyed the support pier beneath the pair of already collapsing bridge sections. The bridge segments landed on a concrete causeway crews constructed beneath and slightly upriver of the bridge to catch the structure. The explosive charges were set to cause the bridge to roll upriver, away from the new Eighth Street Bridge that stands only feet downriver of the old structure, PennDOT District 4 spokesman James May said. The new bridge sustained no apparent damage. The explosives fired about a minute before they were scheduled to go off, taking away the crowd’s chance to chant a final countdown for the bridge, but otherwise the demolition appeared to have gone off without a hitch, May said. PennDOT constructed a $23 million replacement that opened at the end of March because the original bridge was determined to be structurally deficient and had a limited load capacity. The metal supports of the old bridge will be recycled, May said. The reason the bridge is being demolished in segments is that a causeway could not be built under the entire bridge without damming the river, May said. PennDOT plans to demolish the rest of the bridge in about a month. The old bridge was built in 1900, eight years before the Ford Motor Co. began producing the Model T and cars became more prevalent. With a roadway only 19 feet, 5 inches wide from curb to curb, no turning lanes and limited sightlines at the intersection with River Road, the old bridge clearly wasn’t designed with modern automobiles in mind.

Question #1 Eighteen-year-old Joe Nardone of Wilford Street, Pittston, placed something in a paper bag for safekeeping stating With Judy Minsavage he would “one day show the contents to his grandchildren.” What was it? and Kaplan Brothers on South Main offered skirts and pajamas $1.99
1964 – 47 Years Ago Exeter native George Mihai, brother of Mrs. Frank Wascalus also of Exeter, was so moved by the assassination of President John Kennedy he created an oil painting titled “Eternal Light” and sent it to the Kennedy family. The seascape shows a likeness of the president over a lighthouse. The painting depicts the American flag at half-mast, storm clouds and waters portraying the oceans. A weathervane atop the lighthouse takes the form of a cross. George used the Lighthouse at Stratford Point Connecticut as his subject. To read the history and view photos of this historic lighthouse go to www.lighthouse.cc/stratford. Mihai received a note of appreciation from the Kennedy family. A “mooing cow” was how residents described the sound of the fire alarm atop Pittston City Hall. There was discussion regarding the replacement of the outdated compressor system that created the sound, but cost would dictate whether a new electric siren or a compressor replacement would be installed. There were concerns as to the amount of vibration created in the building each time the gong-type sound blasted assembling firefighters. The original system was installed on the building in 1930 under Mayor Kenneth English after Exeter residents complained of the fire alarm sounding from the steam whistle at the Exeter Colliery for every Pittston fire. Dupont Mayor Joseph Troynacki found himself in the middle of the coaloil battle regarding the newly constructed municipal building. The building’s plans called for oil heat, but members of the United Mine Workers District 1 and retired pensioned miners filed a protest. Borough council members voted to change plans to heat the building with coal, but the mayor switched back to oil, having two storage tanks installed at the location. 1974 – 37 Years Ago A 20-man demolition crew finished what began with destructive floodwaters of Hurricane Agnes in 1972.

Question #2 In May of this year, what did the Phillies do to capture the nostalgia of the 1974 season? 1984 – 27 Years Ago Walter and Marita Murphy and their children Austin, Kelly and Mark of West Pittston, were vacationing on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, and could not imagine that they would somehow have a brush with Falls history. A day before, a Canadian stuntman of Czechoslovakian decent, Karel Soucek, plunged in a barrel over the falls making him one of 21 people who intentionally tried the feat. The Murphys, staying at the same hotel, recognized the bruised daredevil, received his autograph, and joined him for breakfast. Six months later, Soucek attempted to repeat the feat at the Houston Astrodome by dropping himself, inside a wooden barrel, 180 ft. into a 10-foot pool of water. Unfortunately, the barrel hit the edge of the pool and Soucek succumbed to injuries. Buried in Drummond Hill Cemetery at Niagara Falls, his tombstone reads, “It is not whether you fail or triumph, it’s that you keep
your word and at least try.” In December of 1944, Avoca native Joe Makar was taken prisoner by the German army during the Battle of Bastione. Living through deplorable conditions and seeing many of his fellow soldiers die, he remained steadfast. The 38th Infantry Division freed him and fellow prisoners the following year from the Brunswick Camp. In 1984, Makar started a local chapter of the American Ex-Prisoners of War after learning about the national group in sessions at the VA. Today Fred C. Searles of Wyoming heads the Ex-prisoners of War Keystone Chapter of Northeast Pennsylvania. 1994 – 17 Years Ago After a 15-year hiatus, members of St. Rocco’s Boy Scout Troop 303, Gino D’Angelo, assistant senior patrol leader; John Cotter; Rich Kossuth, assistant scoutmaster; Jerry Prawdzik Sr., troop committee; Sean Burke, Jerry Prawdzik Jr., Allan Azaravich, troop committee; Steven Azaravich, Charles Vennarini, senior patrol leader; L.A. Sanguedolce, scoutmaster and Bill Burke assistant scoutmaster completed a four-day canoe trip along the Susquehanna River. Starting in Barton, New York, the troop traveled approximately 100 miles. The city parking normally accommodated the Pittston Farmer’s Market but needed renovating during the summer of 1984. Paul Cooper owner of Cooper’s Waterfront Seafood Restaurant came to the rescue and offered his restaurant parking lot for the popular weekly event. Answer #1 Joe Nardone placed the hair of his freshly cut five-month-old beard in a paper bag to keep for “old time’s sake” commemorating the Pittston Centennial. The week long event in July of 1954 ended with members of the Brothers of the Brush visiting their local barbershops to remove the beards the men grew in celebration of the city’s birthday. Answer #2 The Philadelphia Phillies donned their 1974 powder blue road uniforms to play opposite the Atlanta Braves at the 2011 Civil Rights Game on May 15, 2011. Both teams commemorated the day Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s career home run record by hitting his 715th on April 8, 1974. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. - Herm Albright

1954 – 57 Years Ago Mrs. James Redington of Pittston took the finest Irish Linen and made a handkerchief edged with delicate nylon thread crocheted in lovers’ knots. After completing the project, she sent the finery to Senator Joseph McCarthy in Washington D.C. Mrs. Redington had been following the Army-McCarthy hearings on TV and was impressed with the Senator’s “lovely wife”. Upon receipt, the embattled senator sent Mrs. Redington a thank you note stating, “I shall take this home with me tonight to give to her and know she will appreciate your thoughtfulness.” The senator’s letter was written on the Committee of Government Operations stationery, of which he was chairman. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy’s now famous hearings charging Communist activity in various American agencies and industries was brought to national attention when televised. McCarthy’s power declined sharply after that and the Senate voted to condemn him a few months later. Historians credit American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) for their decision to broadcast the hearings live, the only station to do so. The Pittston School District initiated a new phase to their third consecutive year of supervised playground programs. Edward Venzel, music instructor at Pittston High School, was set to instruct youngsters on various musical instruments over the summer at the high school. The popularity of the playground program spurred the school board to sponsor the activities. Instructors at the various parks were Ralph V. Toole and Marie Campenni, Upper Pittston; James V. Duffy and Mary Eagen, Jefferson; James Giardina and Veronica Namotka, Gilmartin; John Loughney and Mae McAndrew, Sullivan; Arthur O’Malley and Margaret Mary Hennigan, Flemming; Francis G. McNulty and Alice Frederick, Allardyce and Ann Mitchell and Joseph Sobeski, Oregon. Summer Sale Prices at Penney’s in Pittston showed boys’ denim jeans and men’s work shirts, $1.00.

sive Stanton Power Plant structure along the Sullivan Trail in Harding was systematically dismantled. The plant operated by Scranton Electric Company went into operation in 1927 and employed over 175 men. The Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1227 in Duryea celebrated its golden anniversary with a dinner and ceremony commemorating the event. Commander Michael Tetlak received a golden anniversary award from Dan Kulick, district junior vice-commander. Mr. and Mrs. John Waters, Mr and Mrs. Michael Tetlak, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Witkowski, Sharon Tanner, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Turkos, Mayor Edward Joseph and Judge Edwin Kosik were some of those attending the gala. Started in 1924, the Post 1227 is located on Stephenson Street. The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked Pittston baseball fans: “If you were managing the struggling Phillies in their 1974 pennant drive, what would you do differently?” Don Doyle of Pittston answered, “I would sell the bull-pen and buy vitamin pills for Lonberg and Carlton.” Dominick Morreale said, “I would play Bill Robinson every day.” Jimmy Limongelli said, “I would get a new pitching coach.” Michael Sobeski added, “I would make my mother the umpire.”

Several hundred people, mostly from Greater Pittston, attended the funeral service Friday for Captain Fred R. Demech Jr., U.S. Navy (Retired) at Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D.C. Among those in attendance was Avoca native Fred Gedrich, a resident of Washington, who said Capt. Demech’s burial service took place several feet away from where Dale Kridlo, like Demech a Greater Pittstonian, who was killed in Afghanistan in November, is buried. A resident of Moosic, Capt. Demech passed away peacefully after a valiantly fought battle with cancer on March 11, 2011. He was born June 1, 1940, in Taylor, a son of the late Fred and Minnie Uritz Demech. He graduated from Pittston High School, Wilkes College, the Naval War College and the National War College. He was commissioned as Ensign in 1962 and served in the Navy for more than 27 years, retiring in 1989. He was a career cryptologist and a qualified Surface Warfare Officer. As a Navy Captain and Presidential Appointee, Capt. Demech twice served as the Executive Director for the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board in the White House. For this service, Capt. Demech was awarded the nation’s highest peacetime military decoration, The Defense Distinguished Service Medal. For two years, Capt. Demech was Commanding Officer of the Navy’s largest cryptologic base, a 1,000 person overseas facility. This command won the coveted Travis Trophy that identified it as the top communications site in the Department of Defense during 1984. For this service, Capt. Demech was awarded the Legion of Merit. Other Navy assignments included Executive Assistant to three senior flag officers, Research and Technical Officer onboard two ships, and both Operations and Executive Officer at several shore stations. For 19 years, Capt. Demech was employed by the TRW and Northrop Grumman Corporations. For seven years he served as director for two different business units.

2011 Battle of Wyoming commemoration extra special By Andrew M. Seder
The Times Leader
One by one they lined up as the Wyoming Valley Band played patriotic melodies nearby. Hand after hand was extended, and with a smile and a nod, Dr. Joseph Mattioli gladly, but uncomfortably, accepted the praise being heaped upon him and his wife, Rose. On Monday, Independence Day, more than 300 people gathered on the grounds of the historic Wyoming Monument to commemorate the Battle of Wyoming, which took place 233 years ago. Many come every year; some came this year just to see the Mattiolis and the 66-foot, 6inch-tall monument that their generous donation of $100,000 helped to restore during the past year. Gloria Blandina, of Wyoming, has been to the annual event 35 times. Before leaving on Monday, she went up to the stage at the front of the large tent giving shelter to those gathered from the sweltering sun and extended her hand and personal thanks to the Mattiolis. “It’s very, very gracious of him to do this for the community,” Blandina said after her few seconds with the owners of Pocono International Raceway in Long Pond. “What a great, great gift he gave to all of us.” On Aug. 3, 2008, lightning struck the monument. The strike moved the top two rows of stones at least two inches, damaged the joints on the monument’s cap and blew out a small chunk of concrete. A plaque listing the names of survivors of the Battle of Wyoming sustained a crack from top to bottom along the right side, running through the last names of 14 of the men, from

Ensign Daniel Downing down to Pvt. Cherrick Westbrook. Immediately after the strike, the community rallied around the monument and held fundraisers to begin raising the more than $125,000 needed to repair the town’s cherished treasure. But more than a year after the damage was done, only one-fifth of the needed funds was raised. Then Joseph Mattioli read a story in The Times Leader about the efforts to restore the monument and made a call to the story’s author, Bill O’Boyle. The reporter helped arrange a meeting among monument association officials; the borough’s mayor, Bob Boyer ; and the Mattiolis at the couple’s Long Pond home on July 12, 2010. Mattioli wrote a check for $100,000 and handed it to the group. The restoration could begin.
Throughout Monday’s more than two-hour program, speakers praised the Mattiolis and their generosity. The couple, he seated in a wheelchair, she in a folding chair by his side, wiped away tears as they heard how
much their donation was appreciated. “It was nice,” Joseph Mattioli said after the program. “They really outdid themselves with a beautiful program.” Though he had never been to
the annual commemoration before Monday, he said growing up in Old Forge, he would drive down Route 11 and past the monument on his travels. He said that when he read about what had happened and how the community was trying to raise funds, he felt he could help. “I was lucky to make a lot of money. These are the types of things I like to support,” Mattioli said. While the money given by the Mattioli family was key in getting the project the funds necessary to begin, the work by Masonry Preservation Services of Berwick ensured the monument was restored and in a state that it would remain for generations more to appreciate. The Mattiolis’ actions touched many of those gathered Monday and elicited praise from Bob Pavolonis, 65, of Wyoming. “They’ve got kind hearts. They’re wonderful people. That’s what you call voluntarily sharing your wealth,” said Pavolonis, who said the large turnout was probably due to a combination of the restoration of the monument itself and people See MONUMENT, Page 31

wanting to make sure the Mattiolis knew how much their donation meant. “Usually there’s empty seats, but not this time,” Pavolonis said. Among those who said he came for the first time Monday was Bill Sullivan, 38, of West Wyoming. “After hearing about it and reading about it the past two years, I knew this was a big deal and I felt like I needed to be here,” Sullivan said. Even those who have been to the ceremonies dozens of times noted the difference in this year’s event. Frank E.P. Conyngham, president of the Wyoming Commemorative Association, said Sunday night was like Christmas Eve for him. He said he was filled with anticipation and excitement for the event to begin. The Wyoming Monument honors the more than 170 Connecticut settlers who were killed by Tories and Iroquois Indians on July 3, 1778, in the Battle of Wyoming. The remains of those killed were found in a mass grave in May 1832 and reburied where the monument stands. The monument’s construction began in July 1833 and was suspended due to a lack of funds when the monument reached 20 feet. Construction resumed in 1841 when the Ladies Luzerne Monumental

2011 Olympic Qualifier Christina Washington is sharing her passion for gymnastics with youth at the Greater Pittston YMCA. Washington, 20, of Pittston, is heading a series of three-day, Summer Gymnastics Camps at the Y throughout July and August. The first camp – a progressive gymnastics camp for youths who have a desire to compete – will begin Monday, July 11 at 9 a.m. The camp will teach strength, flexibility and gymnastics routines on the bar, mat and beam, said Washington. Washington grew up in the YMCA. “My dad coached in the YMCA when I was young,” she said. “I use to go with my dad and I would watch him coach.” Christina’s love for the Y started young and may only be surpassed by her passion for gymnastics. “I started when I was two with my dad. When I was five I started training at a gym called Gymnastika,” she said. “I also started competing at the age of five. I’ve won state records and regional titles and I was a qualifier for the 2016 Olympics.” Washington grew up in West Patterson, New Jersey. She trained with Russian Gymnastics Coach Natalia Shapotohnikoba Sut, a 1980 Olympic Gold Medalist. She started coaching gymnastics at the Greater Pittston YMCA last September when her family moved to Pittston.

Membership registration for June 2011 through June 2012 for the Wyoming Ambulance is now in the second month of the subscription drive. Only 31% of the residents have responded at this time. Anyone who has not returned their subscription will receive a reminder in the next few weeks. Those residents who do not subscribe to the membership allow themselves to be billed for ambulance services. This billing can result in several hundred dollars as opposed to the subscription rate. Over the last few years, the membership subscription drive for the Wyoming Ambulance has continued to drop which is making it financially difficult to continue providing this service to Wyoming residents. If more residents continue to not subscribe Wyoming Hose Company #1 may be forced to close the ambulance operation. Pictured are fund drive chairman Kirk Carey and co-chairman John Marianacci.

Crossin-Briggs win 65th Allan title - finally Eight days after tourney starts, defending runner-ups earn crown It took over a week to decide, but a champion was finally crowned in the John A. Allan Tournament at Fox Hill Country Club on Monday. The team of Don Crossin and Bill Briggs completed their round on Monday with a 7-under 65 to win the annual tournament over the team of John Mulhern and Len Coleman, who finished with a 68. The two teams were back out on the course Monday to complete the last 13 holes of a special playoff that was interrupted by rain on Sunday. The playoff was necessary after the two teams finished three days of play tied over a week ago. On June 26, both teams finished at 14under par in the better-ball stroke play format. After three playoff holes, neither team converted on its potential matchwinning putts and the match was called due to darkness. The teams returned to the course Sunday, but had to quit after five holes due to rain.
Pictured clockwise from top left, Len Coleman showing mid-season form. That's not snow you see, that's Don Crossin and Bill Briggs having to putt out during a torrential downpour that interrupted play during the 18hole playoff on Sunday. Bill Briggs cannot believe his 20-foot putt did not sink as it sat on the rim of the cup.

Thanks to play of Joe Zambetti Sr. and Harold Kiesinger, there will be a one-game playoff with Blandina Apartments at the conclusion of the regular season to determine the title. The Bassler Boys are Phil Bosha, Joe Zambetti Sr., Henry Korpusik and Harold Kiesinger. The winner of each half is given a place in the finals once the playoffs begin. The points that are accumulated during play in each half are used as tie breakers for all places except first. It was the points that gave Atlas Realty the final playoff spot over Old
Forge Chiropractic and JetSurge Power Cleaning. Also another brilliant performance was turned in by "Mr. Consistent" Ralph Campanella. With all places being so hotly contested, the second half of play should be quite interesting. Standings

July 7, 2011 Charlotte M. Brozzoski, 74, of Exeter, died July 7, 2011, at Highland Manor Nursing Home, where she was a guest for the past three years.

at Techniglas, Jenkins Township, for 24 years, and prior to that with General Electric, New York City.

Michael Mirch, 95, of Avoca, died July 6, 2011 at the home of his caretaker and daughter Jean Kiesinger. Born in 1915 in Troy, NY, he was the son of the late Eli and Vuka (Lasko) Mirch. For most of his adult life, he worked in the construction and coal mining industries. He was employed by Kaminski Brothers in Pittston Township for many years. His work ethic was so strong and his passion for work so deep, that he reluctantly retired his position as a drag-line operator at the age of 85. However, no passion surpassed the bond he shared with his beloved wife, Gladys. Those who knew Mike and Gladys admired and were inspired by their relationship of 72 years — a relationship defined by mutual respect, deep care and the beautiful sense of delight they found in each other. They genuinely lived to serve each other and this sense of "service" was obvious in things as simple as the daily slice of homemade apple pie that Gladys lovingly served Mike, and things as complex as Mike’s tireless care for Gladys as she approached her own death. Mike’s calm and steady presence was a source of stability for Gladys as she made her descent into the darkness of Alzheimer’s disease. He played a central role in her caretaking until her death. Testament to the love they shared is the fact that Mike was the only face and voice she recognized into the final days of her life. And like many couples that share a deep, abiding love, Mike’s physical decline began shortly following his wife’s death. Mike and Gladys were always a quiet refuge for each other, and to imagine them now reunited is of great solace to those that knew and loved them.
He thoroughly enjoyed his grand and great-grandchildren and had a keen interest in their lives. His daily visits with Jack and Emma, two of his greatgrandchildren, brought him great joy in his final years. Mike died in the home of his daughter, Jean, who gave her father the greatest gift a child can offer: a space of comfort and calm within which to live out the remaining days of a very rich, full and vibrant life. In the two years that he resided in her home, they shared an intimacy that can only arise between two people who seek to more deeply know each other. He often referred to Jean as his "right hand" and he died with her seated beside him. Those who knew and loved Mike can take solace in the knowledge that he left this world in much the same way he lived his life; surrounded by family and with tremendous grace, dignity and abiding calm. He was also preceded in death by his brothers, Sam and John Mirch. He is survived by his son, Richard Mirch, and his wife, Rosann, of Hancock, NY; daughter, Ethel Panek, and her husband, Marty, of Moscow, and daughter, Jean Kiesinger and her husband, Bill, of Avoca; 11 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Monday at noon at St. Patrick’s RC Church, Church St., Long Eddy, NY. Friends may call Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. at Kiesinger Funeral Services, 255 McAlpine St., Duryea. Interment St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Long Eddy, NY. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be to the Hospice of the Sacred Heart, 600 Baltimore Drive, WilkesBarre, 18702. Online condolences may be made to www.kiesingerfuneralservices.com.

Misericordia honors nursing graduates at pinning ceremony The Misericordia University Nursing Department recently held a pinning ceremony in Lemmond Theater in Walsh Hall to honor 31 undergraduate nursing students in the traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing program who graduated May 21 at the 85th annual Commencement ceremony. Undergraduate nursing students who completed the program receive the Misericordia University Nursing Pin, a symbol of achievement in the nursing profession. Family and friends attended the ceremony, which also featured Father Donald Williams, university chaplain, blessing the pins and nurses reciting the international pledge and prayer for nurses. Misericordia University offers three undergraduate nursing programs: traditional, fulltime nursing students; parttime accelerated evening program for adult students; and for registered nurse students the RN to BSN Expressway Program. The undergraduate nursing programs are designed to meet the special educational and scheduling needs of adult and traditional students and all lead to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree. Misericordia University is the most senior nursing program in Northeastern Pennsylvania. MU offers undergraduate and graduate nursing programs for traditional and nontraditional students. Graduate programs are also designed to meet the special needs of current BSN registered nurses who desire an advanced practice specialization in family nurse
practitioner or clinical nurse specialization.
