Sports can do that The stories on pages 3 and 4 today are connected in a way that perhaps only I have detected so I feel compelled to share it.

The page 3 story is about a guy who has taken it upon himself to plant flowers around the trees all along Main Street in Pittston. I was tempted to call him a born-again “Flower Child” in the headline but, although this guy is a product of the ‘60s, that’s hardly the term for him, then or now.

While others of his generation might have been getting a little crazy in those days, he remained a straight arrow, a good boy who grew into a man’s man.

I know, because Jim Norris was my high school classmate – for our senior year, anyway.

It was 1966, the very first year of the new Pittston Area school district. Former rivals Northeast High and Pittston High were merged into one school. And it was just a few years after former rivals Duryea, Dupont, Avoca, Hugh-

estown and Jenkins Township had been merged into Northeast.

What magic was it going to take to get all these schools to gel into one?

The answer came soon enough: sports.

The new school’s football team – wearing Red, White and Blue and playing under the name Patriots – took on the rival of all rivals, perennial powerhouse Old Forge, in its opening contest, and won.

Absolutely no one saw that coming.

I was sitting in a classroom in the old Pittston High building the next Monday morning when a booming voice came over the school’s inter-com system. It was that of Thomas R. Kelly, our new principal whom none of us had met. He told us who he was and how proud he was of our football team. With that, he commanded: “I’m going to count to three and when I do I want to hear a roar that will lift the roof off this building.” At three the roar he asked for went

up and in that moment, I truly believe, the Pittston Area School District was born.

Sports can do that.

The quarterback of that first Patriot football team – who, by the way, scored the winning touchdown – was the same guy planting flowers on Main Street these 44 years later, Jim Norris.

That he is wearing a Yankees cap in the photo on page 3 is just an added touch to how the game he starred in all those years ago ties in to the story on page 4.

The page 4 story is about a simple bus trip by a local parish to a Major League baseball game – the kind of thing parishes do all the time – only it turned out there was nothing simple about it.

First of all, much like the Pittston Area School District in 1966, the parish is brand new.

In the sixties around here they were merging schools, today they are merging churches. And that task is even more daunting.

The parish in this story is Our Lady of the Eucharist,

formed by combining St. Mary’s Assumption, St. Mary Help of Christians and Blessed Sacrament – something no one was happy about.

The former Blessed Sacrament Church has already been sold and is being converted into apartments. The former St. Mary’s Assumption is available, its adjacent elementary school having been closed this past June. The wounds to their respective parishioners are still fresh.

Mark Casper, a former and devoted parishioner of the Assumption, thought a trip to a ballgame might help bring the new parishioners together. Because, hey, sports can do that.

Little did he know.

The trip, planned months ago, was to the New York Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays game on July 9 at Yankee Stadium.

You guessed it: they were there last Saturday to witness Derek Jeter’s 3000th hit, a home run, his 5 for 5 performance, and take part in baseball history.

And, oh yes, take a giant step

toward becoming a unified parish.

At Mass the next morning they were a little more one than they had been the Sunday before.

Yesterday morning while getting dressed to head to the Dispatch office for a day of deadline meeting, I flipped on the TV to catch a bit of the British Open. I tuned in just in time to see Tom Watson, playing in rainy, miserable weather, roll in a difficult put for a par.

The announcer said in the first eight holes in round three he had made seven pars and a birdie.

On Friday, I had seen him score a hole-in-one.

Tom Watson, a former British Open champion, is 61 years old.

So am I. And so’s Jim Norris.

Don’t know about Jim, but watching Tom Watson’s magic on the golf course in England this weekend has put an extra bounce in my step. He has me inspired.

Sports can do that too.

ittston may not be a boomtown, but thanks to Jim Norris and the downtown merchants, it’s a bloom town.

Pro bono downtown manager Rose Randazzo said one day she arrived at her office to find that overnight someone had planted flowers under the trees in front of her office.

That someone was Jim Norris.

Norris has since planted flowers in the tree beds along Main Street from William Street to Charles Street where phase one of the Streetscape project is complete. The first planting of marigolds were donated by Ciampi’s Greenhouse in Exeter.

Randazzo said she likes the idea and she and Norris, who has taken on the role of downtown assistant, came up with a downtown adopt-a-tree program.

Since then 12 downtown busi-

nesses and the YMCA have agreed to participate.

Norris said the adopt-a-tree merchants are asked to generally maintain the tree beds and flower plots, the most important job being to water the flower plots.

In addition to the YMCA the merchants in the adopt-a-tree program are First Liberty Bank, Majestic Lunch, M & T Bank, Landmark Bank, Joyce Insurance, Fino’s Pharmacy, Bella Mia Hair Salon, Yore Antiques, Philadelphia Hair, Sam-Car, Seitzinger and Randazzo, and Jackett’s Lunch.

Randazzo said getting merchants involved helps the city look better and save money. The program will be extended the rest of the way down Main Street

to Market Street once phase two of the Streetscape is completed on that stretch.

With the sewer project completed across Main Street some preliminary work on Streetscape phase two is underway. Over the past few days the sewer construction has progressed across the Pittston Tomato Festival lot to the area around the firehouse at the edge of the lot.

In other downtown news, the city had hoped to have the former Wayne’s World building demolished by now. Redevelopment Authority Director Jerry Mullarky said the delay happened because once it was determined the building could not be rehabilitated, the job of demolition had to be re-bid.

The bids were opened at the authority meeting on July 7. The winning bidder is Stell Enterprises with a bid of $17,152.

The project is conditional pending formal approval of a modification to the city’s 2010 Community Development Block Grant. Mullarky said, based on previous conversations with the state, the city is optimistic the modification will be approved soon.

In the meantime, the city asked Stell to get to get bonds and insurances in order so that once the grant modification is approved Stell can start the work.

Mullarky said the city is confidant the building will be demolished before the Tomato Festival August 18-21.

tion, will not be eligible for employment. The policy will also define relatives to include not only immediate family, but also nieces, nephews, in-laws and other relatives. Linskey said there is some interest in adding a anti-promotion clause to the policy for employees who were hired before their relatives got on

the board, but it’s not clear if that is legal.

In any case, why, given his commitment to crafting an antinepotism policy, did Linskey help his daughter get the summer job? That question was posed by an editorial in last Sunday’s Dispatch and on Wednesday Linskey came to the office to offer

an explanation and an apology of sorts.

“The board members receive packets at home,” Linskey said.

Holy Eucharist!

That’s his 3000th!

37 locals on Pittston parish’s bus trip witness historic event at Yankee Stadium

Gavin Wilk, Ted Wilk and Father Tom at Yankee Stadium

Associate Editor

Back in May given four dates from which to pick one for a bus trip to a baseball game Father Tom Maloney of Our Lady of Eucharist Church picked Yankee Stadium, Saturday, July 7, never dreaming he had picked a momentous day in Stadium history – the day Derek Jeter would get his 3,000th hit.

Want to hear something even more miraculous? Father Tom, as he calls himself, converted from a Red Sox to a Yankees fan.

Granted Father’s conversion was decades ago, but going Red Sox to Yankees is still almost as rare as getting 3,000 hits.

Jeter is only the 28th players to do so out of an estimated 17,000 who have played in the Major Leagues.

Father Tom, 71, grew up in Avoca. When he was a kid his father took him to see the Scranton Red Sox, a Boston farm team, and he latched on to the Red Sox. Scranton lost its minor league franchise after the 1953 season and, in time, the young Tom Maloney became a Yankees fan.

He has a cool remnant of his Red Sox days, a ball signed by a Boston Red Sox team, including Ted Williams, from the 1950s.

His father got it for him and he kept it in good condition all these years.

Picking the date of July 7 was part one of the convergence of incidents which put Father Tom, 36 of his parishioners and other local baseball fans in the Stadium for Jeter’s 3,000th hit.

Part two: On Thursday Jeter got his 2,998th hit. With two outs in the ninth he was on deck when the batter struck out. That should have ended the game, but the catcher dropped the ball and the batter reached giving Jeter another at bat.

Drew Casper and his cousin Conor Lydon, from Harrisburg reacting to Derek Jeter's #3000.

Father Tom was watching on TV. Figuring that if Jeter got a hit then, he would only need one on Friday to reached 3,000, Father Tom rooted against him. “Oh, please no, I said, don’t get a hit now.”

Part Three: He didn’t get a hit, but still he went into Friday only needing two. Friday’s game was rained out, setting the stage for Saturday.

“I was happy Friday was rained out,” Father Tom said. “Saturday was a great day, couldn’t have been better. The applause, shouting, yelling for five minutes was unbelievable.”

Parishioner Mark Casper

came up with the baseball bus trip idea. “I teased Father that divine intervention made it rain the Friday before, just so we could see the big hit. It was also Father’s first time in the new stadium.” Casper said.

The trip was the first social venture for the new Our Lady of Eucharist Parish created by the consolidation of St. Mary’s Assumption, St. Mary Help of Christian, and Blessed Sacrament churches.

“Father and I agreed it might be a good way to get some momentum going for the new parish,” Casper said.

To a degree the idea worked as

parishioners from all three of the former parishes were among the 37 people who made the trip. On the other hand, Casper was surprised the bus didn’t sell out to its capacity of 50. “Somehow, the trip didn’t sell out,” Casper said.

“I got a lot of calls on Sunday from folks that wished they had come on the trip.”

Casper said on the way to meet the bus that morning his son Drew came up with a creative math formula to predict Jeter would get the hit. “He looked at the commemorative T-shirt everybody on the trip got and on the sleeve it says ‘Yankees vs.

Rays 7-9-11’ and said, Dad, 9-11

was part on New York history, then add the numbers up and it totals 27 which is the same number of championships the Yankees have, and take 9 from 11 and 7 from 9 and you get 2, Jeter’s number. He’s getting 3000 today.”

Of the 28 players who have 3,000 hits Jeter is only the second one to reach 3,000 with a home run.

Wade Boggs was the other. Jeter is the only Yankee with 3,000 hits and the only active player with 3,000 hits.

The last player before Jeter to get 3,000 was Craig Biggio in 2007.

Middleton also connected with Grill at gigs at the Station in Wilkes-Barre and a Great American Car Race stop in Scranton and the Hi-Lite Lounge in Kingston. Grill left the band for a time after its heyday, but rejoined the

Grass Roots singer Rob Grill, who died in Orlando, Florida, on Monday from complications from a fall, was well known in the local area. Grill was the singer behind The Grass Roots’ 1960s and ‘70s super hit pop songs such as Let’s Live for Today, Midnight Confessions, Wait a Million Years, Temptation Eyes and Two Divided by Love.

The Southern California native was 67.

The Grass Roots sold more than 20 million records and had at least one song on the Billboard Hot100 for 307 weeks from1967 to 1972. Most of the hits were written by Steve Barri and P.F. Sloan of Dunhill Records in Los Angeles.

The band wore well. Ten years after their reign as hit makers – on July 4, 1982 in Washington, DC – The Grass Roots drew 600,000 fans to an outdoor concert considered the all-time U.S. attendance record for one act.

Joe Middleton – who worked in the local music business as a writer, DJ, Gallery of Sound manager and promoter – knew Grill well. Middleton was a writer for the Pittston Sentinel when he met Grill in the spring of ’69 at a show at then-Keystone Junior College.

When Joe Nardone of Gallery of Sound promoted Grass Roots shows locally Middleton was the

also played the fair when it was on Bryden Street and was known as the Pittston Township Firemen’s Baazar.

Joe Pupa of the Northeast Fair said the fair set a record for onenight attendance that Saturday night in 2003 when The Grass Roots played.

“He was just a really nice guy,” Pupa said. “Easy to talk to. Easy to work with. Unpretentious. He didn’t have an attitude. In 2003 he still had it. He was a good performer. He was the face and the voice of The Grass Roots.”

Though Grill had health problems – including strokes, six hipreplacement surgeries and a degenerative bone disorder called avascular necrosis – he continued to appear with The Grass Roots into 2010. Middleton said the last time he talked to Grill was in March of 2010 when The Grass Roots played at the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre.

Middleton said Grill’s widow Nancy is a Carbon County native.

And here’s one more local connection: Creed Bratton, the original lead guitarist, is on the cast of the TV show The Office set in Scranton.

The Grass Roots still tour without Grill. Tonight they are at the Sovereign Center in Reading on the Happy Together Tour with the Turtles, the Buckinghams, the Association and Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders.

“On Class Night the Wednesday before graduation Jack Lussi (District Principal) said tell your daughter to get all her stuff in we really need an English teacher.

So I told her to do it and she did.

It’s my fault and I take responsibility.”

Linskey agreed that his daughter getting a summer job might be seen by some as a stepping stone to a full-time position, but he insists that is not going to happen.

“In hindsight it wasn’t a very good idea because of the uproar it caused. I thought it was no big deal because it was only nine days and I have no intention ever of her being a full-time employee at Pittston Area,” Linskey said.

Linskey said he believes only one of the applicants, who was not an English teacher, did not get a summer job and Linskey admits that the small amount of applicants was part of the problem. He said the school should have advertised the positions publicly, instead of keeping the postings in house.

letter to the editor in last week’s paper from Joe Valenti. In his letter Valenti wrote there were 30 applicants listed on the agenda.

Linskey said those applicants were for full time, not summer, positions.

Linskey is adamant that he is serious about pushing for an anti-nepotism policy. He said when his daughter switched her major to education halfway through her college career, he told her then he was not going to help her get a job. He said that caused some arguments at home.

To further diminish the subjectivity and influence in the hiring process at PA, Linskey is pushing for a system which would rate applicants by a points system. For example, points would be awarded academic record, Praxis score, experience and other factors. The top three candidates based on points would then be asked to present a demonstration lesson in a classroom setting in front of the Professional Selection Committee which would consist of the superintendent, appropriate building principal, appropriate de-

Linskey said in his opinion the contracting of professional services, such as insurance and engineering, without asking for bids – or RFPs (requests for proposal) as they are called – is as unfair as influence hiring.

“Why should a firm get the contract just because somebody on the board knows someone at

that firm,” Linskey said.

While RFPs for professional service are not required by law, Linskey said they are a good idea. He said when he first approached the board about requesting RFPs, it was voted down. Eventually the board agreed by a 9-0 vote. Since then the board as saved more than $70,000 on professional service contracts by requesting RFPs, Linskey said.

“I thought to myself, and I could be way off base, that maybe somebody from the school called possibly, Bruce Knick, (Knick is a board member from Dupont) and said do you know anybody from Dupont who could use these courses?

“So, stupidly, I said to myself I wonder if my daughter could teach English. I thought it’s only for a nine-day program, a temporary position, so what’s the big deal? So I called George Cosgrove (Pittston Area superintendent) and he said we need English teachers. So I told my daughter. She was a little reluctant but she filled out her paper work.

She also had a unique talent for detecting the slightest vibrations and that talent saved the lives of several firefighters that day, according to her owner and handler Bill Lukasik Jr. Lacey was accompanying rescue workers in building 7 at Ground Zero when she reacted to what she sensed a dangerous situation. The humans listened to her and got out of the building just before it came down, Lukasik said.

Lacey and Lukasik, son of Bill Lukasik of Dupont and a member of the Dupont Volunteer Hose Company at the time, spent11days at Ground Zero. The dog was used mostly to detect vibrations.

Lacey, a German Shepherd/Labrador mix who was four years old at the time, had attended 18 months of schooling and had her own fire badge.

Lukasik acquired her when she was a pup.

Lacey, shown here wearing her badge, died last week. She was 14 years old.

OUR OPINION Nepotism: It’s not who gets the job but who doesn’t Nepotism has been in the news a lot lately. In Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton’s daughters were hired by the city for summer jobs, then resigned after an uproar. In West Pittston the borough council is considering adopting an antinepotism policy.

At Wyoming Area the children, a brother and cousins of school directors Sam Aritz, Dave Alberigi and Toni Valenti were hired for teaching and other positions.

At Pittston Area school director Bob Linskey helped his daughter get a temporary nine-day summer teaching position, while he was helping write an anti-nepotism policy. To his credit Linskey admitted he was wrong. See page 3.

We suspect the attention to nepotism is high now because it is seen as a subplot to the corruption scandals which have been uncovered in local politics lately.

Nepotism is not illegal. It is not corruption. But as we’ve said before, we believe there can be a slippery slope from nepotism to outright corruption.

But our main objection to nepotism is not who gets the job, it’s who doesn’t.

When an applicant who is related to a director or other office holder gets a job through influence that means someone who may have been just as qualified but didn’t have the right relatives did not get the job.

How is that fair?

We hope the Pittston Area school district and West Pittston borough do adopt anti-nepotism policies. We especially like the clause in the draft of the PA policy which does not allow for exceptions. A policy which purports to be anti-nepotism, but allows an exception if the relative is “the best qualified” is useless.

But it is worth noting that as school directors and council members come and go so can policies.

And the notion of a “policy” in the first place may not have as much teeth as we might assume. Is a “policy” a matter of binding law or is it just a guideline?

In other words let’s say a school board adopts such a policy and one of the directors who did not vote for it says the heck with it, votes for a relative and gets four other members to defy the policy and vote for the relative.

What then? Can the solicitor stop the vote because of a “policy.”

That’s a legal question we don’t know the answer to, but it would be interesting to know.

YOUR OPINION

Pens open letter to leaders in Washington An open letter: Dear Mr. President, All Senators and Congressmen, It is time to stop the games which ultimately hurt us the former Working Middle Class and now known as the Working Poor.

Social Security and Medicare must never be on the negotiating table. PERIOD. Our Republican leaders must stop using the psychological head games by referring to the top 5% of our population as the “Job Creators.” They are the WEALTHY, they have not created jobs, they have shipped the jobs overseas and they do not invest their profits in America, they pocket them for the sole purpose of increasing their personal wealth.

Senator Mitch McConnell must stop saying that his main goal is to beat Obama in 2012. He must stop saying that there can be NO negotiated resolve while President Obama is in office. That attitude is un-American and if he can’t get past his Southern bigotry then he should resign his office.

Eric Cantor and John Boehner must ignore the crazy Right and remember that they represent Americans, not just American Business. When they say they will not vote to raise taxes, they present a monster lie. They make it sound like the Working Poor will have higher taxes when in fact they only protect that top 5%, the oil companies, GE and the other huge profit companies who take and give NOTHING back.

The American people have got to wake up and see that the only agenda of the Right is to protect big profits and balance the budget by killing Social Security and Medicare. The proof is that Speaker Boehner put Social Security up for a vote and the Boehner led Congress voted to KILL Social Security. Don’t be fooled by their golden tongues and their ability to turn a phrase.

They say they want to reform Social Security and Medicare to strengthen it for years to come. Translated, they mean they want to gut both programs and what little is left can survive because the benefits provided will be weak and miniscule in comparison to what we the people, the working poor need to simply exists.

This is class warfare and Boehner is the General leading the charge to cripple us the working poor.

Is there a simple solution? How about if they simply increase the amount the wealthy pay into Social Security and Medicare on income up to $500,000? It has been said that this simple change will cure the fiscal problems of SS and MC for the remainder of the century. Mr. President, it is time to produce the hope you promised and deliver it. Stop the one way negotiations, stand firm and if Mitch McConnell and Eric Cantor want to bring the country to a standstill, then it is on them and those they represent.

We the working poor demand nothing less.

Lead the way

Here’s a news flash son. If anyone says to you: If you jump off the bridge first, I swear I’ll follow you…don’t believe them, okay? This is a ploy.

Those who are smarter tell you to try something and they always say if you do it, they’ll follow. But it’s not the way it works in life! You are the guinea pig!”

He slapped a baseball hat onto his very sparse cranium. “I’m never taking off this hat. I think I regret the whole thing. And ps: I have no idea what that guinea pig thing even means.”

A few days later, I was enjoying a hubcap-sized bagel with non-fat cream cheese (as if that balances it all out) at my favorite restaurant. I was scanning a newspaper and pretending I lived in a big city with a big job and no children.

Oh, also, I pretended I was wearing really good Italian shoes instead of my rubber flip flops and my hair was washed.

My cell phone rang, rather hysterically, I thought.

It was my son, completely unhinged.

Again.

I was instructed to come home immediately.

Apparently, our dog had fallen out a second story window onto the pavement below.

He actually skidded out onto the sloped roof on his furry rear and then dropped maybe 12 feet. He landed on all four paws, splayed out, shook it off, and then ran after a squirrel.

A female squirrel.

Anyway, the new puppy, a complete disciple of the older dog, happily and stupidly followed him out onto the ledge and proceeded to fling himself out the window too. Thankfully, my son caught the puppy with his (and I’m using his term here) “catlike reflexes”.

I prompted: “Do you see the parallel here, honey? You followed the shaved high school boys and the puppy followed his brother out the window.

What can you learn from all this?”

“Uhhh…close the window?” he asked, hopeful that this was the answer that would close the conversation.

Welcome to Life 101, son.

Winner, losers, followers, leaders and mothers.

Mothers always lead.

Sons follow.

And dogs fall.

Blueberries, best fruit If you have thought about venturing out to pick our local blueberries, now is the time to do it! Northeastern Pennsylvanians are lucky to have local berries plentiful with more than one grower to choose from.

Folks in other regions need to rely on berries which have traversed across state lines.

Why are blueberry’s one of a Dietitian’s favorite fruit? They come packed with many nutrients and phytochemicals for such limited calories.

Here is the average breakdown.

One cup of unsweetened blueberries (so delicious, no need to add sugar) contain: 82 calories, 4.4 grams of fiber, 0 sodium, 129 milligrams of fiber and 30% of our daily need for Vitamin C. If your culinary skills limit your blueberry usage to pancakes and muffins here are a few new ideas which require few skills in the kitchen.

Blueberry Vinegar

1 cup fresh blueberries 2 cups white vinegar 2 tablespoon sugar Place blueberries in a sterilized 1-quart glass jar.

To sterilize, bring jar and 4 quart pot filled with water to a boil. Boil 1 minute.

Combine vinegar and sugar in a non-aluminum saucepan over high heat. Cover and bring to a boil.

Remove from heat, and pour vinegar mixture over blueberries.

Cover and let stand at room temperature 3 days or longer.

Strain blueberry mixture through several layers of damp cheesecloth into decorative jars; discard blueberries. Seal jars with a cork or other airtight lid.

Yield 2 cups.

Other quick uses for blueberries are: Toss them in with cornbread mix to make Cornbread Blueberry Muffins Toss them into a mixture of greens, almonds, and red pepper Or, just pop a few frozen blueberries into mouth to cool off!

Here are some handling and storage tips.

First, Blueberries should be refrigerated immediately after harvest. Decayed or moldy blueberries should be removed before the blueberries.

Do not wash blueberries before storing because moisture allows mold to grow. Instead, wash blueberries just prior to using.

Gently wash blueberries in cold water just prior to using.

Drain them in a colander or place on paper towels to dry.

Store blueberries in a container with a loose cover. Depending upon the initial freshness of the berries, they can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 days to 1 week.

For more information on preserving blueberries, call Penn State Coop Extension Luzerne County at 602-0600 or visit our web site at www. http://luzerne.extension.psu.edu.

In this life, there are winners, there are losers.

There are leaders and there are followers.

My family, including the dogs, are proving to be the latter, and I’m not happy. Leaders, people! I need more leaders.

Last week, my older son called from his friend’s house. He wanted to shave his head. “Oh, for God’s sake,” I yelled, “do you mean, like Mr. Cleanshaved, Hari Krishna-shaved or like Uncle Eddieshaved?”

“Who’s Hari Krishna?” he asked.

“Never mind. Why do you feel compelled to do this?”

“All my homies are doing it!” he exclaimed.

“EVERYONE is shaving their heads. Oh, and I actually want a Mohawk.”

“Okay, over my dead and lifeless body on the Mohawk deal, but if you want to shave your head, shave your head. But don’t come crying to me when the fact you used to slam your head onto the floor when you were a baby is revealed once your hair is gone.

You’re head’s a bit flat on one side, you know. Hair always helped masquerade that little defect.”

I could tell he was contemplating the “dead and lifeless” part of that sentence when he announced: “So then I’m going to shave it, okay?”

“Go right ahead. If you’re comfortable looking like a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, by all means, shave away.”

Three hours later he walked into the house. I screamed and dropped a plate of …okay… it was a plate of fried pierogies. Don’t judge me!

I squeaked, “Did you have to shave it so short?

You look like those poor kids I used to go to grade school with. One day, they suddenly had no hair.

Well, guess what, it wasn’t too difficult to figure out who had lice that week, I’ll tell you that. Sad, ostracized lice-ridden children. What if everyone thinks that’s what happened to you, huh?”

He insisted that if I had just let him keep the Mohawk, it would’ve been “so much cooler”. So, in essence, it was my fault that he looked like Mr. T in a bathing suit? And he really did.

“Well. Who else shaved their head? Please tell me someone else shaved their head. Because if not, that wouldn’t make you a leader. That would make you an idiot.”

“Um, just me and Andy and some high school wrestlers…they actually had the clippers,” he admitted.

“They had the…. ?

Oh, great. Just great.

Question What did Miss Anthracite of 1952, Patricia Roberts of Wyoming, receive as a prize that today girls might not accept?

Peeking into the past With Judy Minsavage

1952 – 59 Years Ago Frank Swanek, Hughestown; Joseph Borosky, Exeter; Harold Schultz, Pittston; Stanley Shoppel, Exeter; John Donora, West Pittston; Lewis Mawson, Wyoming; Vincent Mammarella, Hughestown and George Davala of Exeter had something in common in 1952. They were the first employees at the Pennsylvania Lawnmower Division of American Chain and Cable Company in Exeter. The plant located on Stevens Lane near Fox Hill Country Club expected to employ “300 males” by the end of the year and hoped to garner adequate sales to hire “700 males.”

Situated on land formerly owned by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, construction of the 310 by 420 foot building cost $750,000. To see a photo of the original plant go to viewoftheblue.com/photography/timetables/LV092753.pdf.

Born in Foggia, Italy in 1895, Joe Martinelli came to America in 1913 and settled on Parsonage Street. He tried mining for a while, working at the No. 9 Colliery loading coal for 18 cents an hour. He had dreams of something better so he started a 15-acre farm in Duryea and by 1952 raised over 20,000 tomato plants and other vegetables to sell locally. During World War II, Joe operated a 47-acre farm in Harding as well. Joe married Mary Lucarelli and was the father of three boys and three girls. Joe and his horse “Chubby” would start plowing the fields each March and tended his gardens until the final harvest in November.

Arthur Kunigiel, Manager, and Coaches Leonard Wendoloski and Joseph Golenski prepared their team Duryea Lions Little League All Stars to play the first game of a long series that would lead to the Little League World Series. The team hosted Scranton’s Greenridge All Stars. The sixth annual World Series competition in Williamsport went international for the first time hosting a team from Montreal, Canada.

Connie Mack, Cy Young and Branch Rickey were among the dignitaries on hand.

1972 – 39 Years Ago From 1970 to 1980, thoroughbred racing was held at Pocono Downs Racetrack when Shamrock Racing Association shared the track. In 1972, thoroughbred trainer Archie Butch of Pittston was assigned six stalls for three sprinter horses and three distance horses. Flying Eaglet, a thoroughbred owned by Al Bobbouine of Pittston, was set to be trained by Ken Smith of Downingtown. Another locally owned horse headed for the Downs was “Bold and Mighty owned by Victor Mosca of Wyoming. Jim Picarillot, rack racing secretary, reported that stall applications ran “far ahead” of the track’s three previous years of thoroughbred operations.

Pocono Downs Race Track briefly ceased operations in mid-1972 and served as an evacuation center for residents displaced by the floods brought about by hurricane Agnes.

Duryea and Old Forge teeners baseball teams were set to clash for the championship of Greater Pittston. Joe Fahey’s Duryea “Ski Squad” included Mark Roskowski, Jerry Zielinski, John Yesnowski, Bernie Nitowski and Pete Olshefski, pitchers with combined records of 10-0. A Duryea win would assure the title, an Old Forge victory would force a championship play-off. If anyone knows the outcome of this game, please call me at 602-0168.

1992 – 19 Years Ago The Filipini Sisters served Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church from 1946 to 1992, the year their convent closed and the order moved to New Jersey. Sisters Genevieve Corallo, M.P.F., Superior Josephine Ridolfo, M.P.F., and Marian Bruno M.P.F. were the last of the reli-

gious teachers to occupy the convent.

Each expressed their sorrow in leaving the area. A picture of St. Lucy Filippini on the right side of the altar and above the altar a photo containing Ninetta Ionata M.P.F., the Mother General of the Order who accompanied the original sisters to Pittston in 1946, were left as reminders of the order presence in the parish.

Rosemary Weinstock, owner of Rosemary’s Country Classics in Wyoming, and co-owner, with husband Jerry, of BJ Smith Furniture, wanted to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Agnes Flood. Rosemary commissioned Afghans that included local sites woven into the design. Photographs of The Market Street Bridge, train station, courthouse, Wyoming Monument, Comerford Theatre, coal breaker and First Presbyterian Church were provided by the historical society.

2002 – 9 Years Ago John and Sandra Panzitta, owners of a Victorian home on Susquehanna Avenue in West Pittston, and Beverly Turner of Perennial Point Plants in Plains recreated a Victorian era garden with unusual plants and greenery. The couple unveiled their creation to approximately 30 members of the Pittston Historical Society, gardeners and Victorian homeowners. The Victorian era was said to be influenced by the reign of Queen Victoria, 1837-1901. Gardening styles ranged from the conservative to the exotic. The Panzitta home is a restored original of the era.

Nick Esposito of Exeter did not get to see his dream realized. Nick requested a new war memorial be constructed with names of servicemen who lived in Exeter and died serving our country. The memorial was to be placed at the site of the newly constructed Exeter borough building. Before completion of the project, Nick passed away. Exeter Mayor Joseph Coyne and Jack Brogan continued to seek funding. In 2002 the memorial was completed and ready to install at the entrance to the new borough building on Wyoming Avenue.

Answer Patricia Roberts, the winner of the Miss Anthracite Beauty Contest sponsored by the Pittston Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1952, received a mink stole complete with head and feet.

1962 – 49 Years Ago It was by a slim margin that Barry Pizzano of West Pittston beat Sam

Marranca of Pittston in a billiards match played on a new Blatt table at Latorre’s. More than 250 spectators watched Pizzano come out ahead by a mere 15 points taking the title of Wyoming Valley Teenage Billiard Champ. The “professor of billiards” Jan Mauriello and Lou Butera, top-ranking national player from West Pittston, officiated.

In an article written for the Dispatch by local historian Charles A. McCarthy, The North Pittston Eel Company built an eel “weir”, a low “v” shaped dam, in the Susquehanna River above Pittston.

In 1857 a total of 1,000 pounds of eels were sold at ten cents per pound. The weir was carried away in the flood of 1857.

Shareowners in the Eel Company were John Love, Michael Bolin, William LaFrance, R.D. Leach, Thomas Benedict, George Giddings, John Hepler, Thomas Benedict H. Davenport, John Jenkins, Peter Gilligan, D.S. Koon, Z.C. Phelps and Henry Belcher.

The American eel is a catadromous fish which means they spend most of their lives in freshwater and migrate to the ocean to spawn. The American eel is common in most rivers draining into the Atlantic Ocean. The introduction of dams greatly diminished the Susquehanna River’s eel population; the eel was the object of a large commercial fishing industry on the river.

The newly formed Northeast School District came under fire the summer of 1962. Dupont youngsters found themselves without their regular summer recreational program. Instructors receiving $1.50 per hour and supervisors paid $2.50 per hour were not assigned at the end of the school year. Dupont Mayor Joseph Troynacki received calls from concerned parents. He was advised by city council that money was not budgeted for the city to take over and sponsor the program.

The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked area residents, “What effect would you say television has on children.”

John Montaro of Pittston answered, “They shouldn’t be allowed to watch the gangster programs.”

Joseph Littzi of Exeter added, “The

kids try to imitate the Three Stooges, their stunts are dangerous, but kids don’t know any better.”

Mrs. Joseph Larnerd said, “Sometimes it can hold their attention and keep them out of trouble, it entertains them.”

A

s Rev. Paul McDonnell, OSJ, and businessman Joseph Joyce Jr. met with Tina Fisher, Executive Director of the Greater Pittston YMCA, Wednesday morning at the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce building to discuss strategies for raising much needed funds for the Y, right across the street some 250 people were participating in a variety of programs at the downtown facility.

Ranging in ages from 2 to 80plus, they were either playing and learning in pre-school programs, taking spin or aerobics classes, participating in the summer day camp, swimming in the pool, playing basketball in the gym or working out in the health club.

“There are 113 children in our summer camp alone,” said Fisher, who attributes her own excellent health to her time spent at the Y. The three, along with Rosemary Dessoye, Executive Vice President of the Chamber, talked about the importance of the YMCA and the difficult financial times for all non-profits.

nary, is serving as chairperson of the Y’s annual campaign. The goal is set at $50,000 which is a small portion of the Y’s $1.1 million operating budget.

Father Paul said while honored, he was at first surprised at being asked to chair the campaign but upon reflection realized there are similarities between the church and the YMCA, aside from the word “Christian” in its title.

“The church is part of the community in much the same

way that the YMCA is,” Father Paul said. “In many ways, the mission of the church and the mission of the Y are parallel and it is good that all of us are working together.”

Joyce, who along with his brothers operates Joyce Insurance, located directly across Main Street from the YMCA, talked about the importance of a vibrant YMCA in the down-

town. “The city is really coming around,” he said, “and a successful YMCA in the heart of town helps everyone.”

Joyce Insurance, which refurbished the former Kresge building on Main Street and employs some 60 to 70 people, has been a good neighbor to the YMCA supporting a variety of funding activities.

“In addition to the value of the

Y to the City,” Joyce, “I personally just love seeing the children in town. I often step outside to watch the pre-schoolers going for their daily walk.”

Fisher said she realizes the YMCA has plenty of competition these days but pointed to some of the things exclusive to the Y, like swimming instruction and the gymnasium (there are 13 summer basketball league in progress), and the fact that the Y is a “one stop shop.” Moms can drop off their children for babysitting while they use the fitness center, she pointed out.

Fisher indicated a $110 gift to the Y can help a grandmother raising her daughter’s child to receive a week of subsidized after school care and a $300 gift can help five youth to develop skills they need to do better in school.

She added that donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and there is no donation too small.

Just like old times at Thomas’ Barbeque First anniversary of Moosic restaurant reopening July 28

By Jack Smiles

Beef being sliced on a 1950s Hobart slicer for a depressionera recipe barbecue sandwiches.

Milk and ice cream getting a whirl in a1940s Hamilton-Beech milkshake mixer. Pin up girls and World War II aircraft wall decor. A wooden phone booth and Formica tables.

A view from a time machine?

A scene from the TV show Happy Days? A museum display?

No, it’s every day at Thomas’ Barbecue in Moosic. The iconic restaurant was founded in 1929

by Caroline Thomas and operated continuously by her family and descendants until 2004.

One year ago the restaurant was reopened after a six-year hiatus by Caroline’s granddaughter Candice Chilek of West Pittston the third-generation owner who, having started as a waitress at age 13, was part of the family juggernaut which kept the business going, Her mother Betty was also a waitress at the barbeque. When Betty died in 2004 the restaurant was owned by Chilek’s Aunt Theda who was in her mid-80s and the restaurant was closed.

At that time Chilek, who had

worked as a director of admission for a technical school, was working in rental property management and she actively sought to lease the business. There were interested parties, but they couldn’t secure loans, so Chilek, with some trepidation, decided to reopen Thomas’ Barbeque.

“Oh my God it was a big decision,” she said. One of the deciding factors was the possibility she could lose the restaurant’s liquor license if she didn’t reopen, but, she said, “I decided to go for it because my mother and grandmother had such a great love for it. I thought if my grandmother could start it in ‘29 I could give it a go in 2010.”

She had waitress experience, but not restaurant management experience, so she learned. “I got some good help and learned from them, did a lot of research of menus and prices.”

With the help of her fiancé Stephan Marr she did some remodeling, though not enough to change the retro look, and reopened last July with a limited menu. If Chilek worried her customers wouldn’t bridge the sixyear gap when the barbeque was closed, they proved her wrong.

They clamored for some of the

menu items from the past and Chilek expanded the menu.

Now in addition to the restaurants signature barbeque sandwiches topped with sauce from her grandmother’s 1929 recipe, Chilek and her 10 employees prepare and serve hot pork, beef, and turkey sandwiches, honey dipped chicken, ice cream sundaes and more.

Thomas’ Barbeque was selected to be the food vendor at the Picnic in the Park in Scranton on July 31.

The first anniversary of the reopening is July 28 and Chilek said there will be a first anniversary celebration with giveaways and food and drink specialties.

Chilek said she is keeping prices low to attract families and many old customers have returned, but she hasn’t seen a lot of people from the Pittston area. “I lot of people still don’t know we’re open.”

Thomas’ Barbecue is 4810 Birney Ave., Moosic near Rt 502. The phone number 4575720. The hours are Tuesdays through Thursdays, 11:30 to 7 p.m.; Fridays, 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 4 to 9 p.m.

Thirteen unlucky for Greater Pittston Plains gets even with defending champion in victory

By Dave Rosengrant

PAGE 40

Times Leader Reporter

After being bounced from the postseason last year by Greater Pittston, Plains was hoping to exact revenge this season.

Payback completed.

Plains, which entered the tournament as the No. 4 seed, defeated top-seeded GP for the second time in three days on Monday to oust the defending Wyoming Valley American Legion League champions with an 11-6 victory.

Plains lost to Back Mountain in Tuesday’s title game, but both teams have wrapped up a berth in the Region 5 Tournament, which begans yesterday in Bloomsburg.

“The kids are going to be fired up,” Plains manager Don Stark said. “We’ve got to play sound defense. We’ve got to throw strikes and get ahead early. We’d like to go in with a little confidence and just see where the cards fall.”

On Monday, Plains opened a 1-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single by Josh Savakinus and never looked back. A runscoring hit from Dom Gulius (2for-4) in the third gave Plains a 2-0 advantage before Greater Pittston even had a hit against starting pitcher Bob Sorokas.

Greater Pittston trimmed the deficit to 2-1 when P.J. Bone singled home Randy McDermott.

But that’s the closest GP would get, as Plains kept tacking on runs. Plains scored two more in the fourth and added another in the fifth to push the lead to 5-1 entering the bottom of the fifth.

Greater Pittston, who has won 12 WVAL titles, closed the gap to 5-2 in the fifth, but again Plains didn’t stop as it poured on six more in the seventh with 10 batters coming to the plate to take a commanding 11-2 lead.

“The past couple games, the at-bats haven’t really been there, but today we just kind of unload-

ed,” said Plains designated hitter Jordan Bone, who was 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two RBI. “I think we just really needed a win against them and we saw the ball well.”

Greater Pittston showed why it was the top seed in the bottom of the seventh not giving up, but eventually running out of gas after batting around and scoring four times on five hits.

It just seemed to be Plains’ day as the offense even broke out against GP pitcher Anthony Bellino, who always seems to pitch perfectly against his rivals.

Plains notched three runs in just 2/3 of an inning against the righty.

“You’ve got to continue to put on runs because they’re capable of putting up eight, nine, 10 in an inning,” Stark said. “We never felt comfortable with any lead that we had.”

Sorokas picked up the win, going five innings and only giving up three hits and two runs. He fanned two and walked three.

Dylan Concini and Justin Okun each had two hits for the winners, with Okun knocking in three.

Andre Harris belted a threerun double for Greater Pittston, while McDermott was the team’s lone multiple hitter going 2-for-2 and scoring three runs.

Pittston Area grad James Castellino pitched the final two innings for Plains and also added a run-scoring single for Plains.

GP 3, Nanticoke 2

Greater Pittston bounced back from its loss to Plains in the opening round of the WVAL Post-Season Tournament with a 3-2 win over Nanticoke on Sunday afternoon in Mountain Top. Nick O’Brien’s sixth-inning solo homer proved to be the difference for GP. O’Brien also singled and drove in an additional See LEGION, Page 44

Greater Pittston had no answer for Plains righty Anthony Grillini as the defending WVAL champs opened the championship tournament with an 8-0 loss to their league-rival last Saturday at Mountain Post.

Plains, which lost to Greater Pittston last year in the championship game, and twice during the season, entered the game with payback in mind.

The team showed a little extra motivation early on, jumping out to a 2-0 lead before an out was recorded in the first inning. Plains kept piling up the runs, getting single runs in the second, fourth and sixth and two in the third.

Grillini (2-for-4) and Pittston Area grad Josh Savakinus (3-for-3) led the offense with two run-scoring hits apiece.

Chris Murphy and Kody Nowicki each had two hits for Greater Pittston.

Greater Pittston's Nick O'Brien, left, is safe at second as Plains' Jordan Sod's tag is late.

ed no time taking a 1-0 advantage in the title game. With one out in the top of the opening inning, Nicole Turner roped a single to centerfield. She then used blazing speed to steal her first of three bases in the game.

She then advanced to third base on a passed ball before an Adrienne Przybyla ground out to second allowed Turner to score easily.

The GWA offense continued to roll and exploded for a fourrun second inning.

Drew Bednarski drew a leadoff walk and then moved to second on a fielder’s choice. Lindsay Carey then singled and Bree Bednarski was hit by a pitch to load the bases for GWA with two outs in the inning.

A little bit of luck then went GWA’s way.

Turner then struck out for the third out, but reached first base on a passed ball. Przybyla then opened the floodgates with a bases clearing single to leftcenterfield. The GWA lead was 5-0 after just two innings of play.

Forty Fort/Kingston finally got on the board in the third when they drew a leadoff walk and later cashed in on a double to right-centerfield.

However, the one run in the third would be their first as well as their last in the game.

Turner led off the sixth inning with a single right back up the middle and then stole second base for the second time in the game. She was moved to third on an infield single by Przybyla and later scored on a groundout off the bat of Sarah Coolbaugh. Megan Bresnahan then singled in Coolbaugh and the GWA lead was 7-1 after six innings of play.

GWA extended their lead to

9-1 in the top of the seventh.

Turner led off the inning with a walk, she then stole second base yet again and was advanced to third on a single off the bat of Przybyla. Coolbaugh then roped a two-RBI single to right field.

The nine runs proved to be more than enough for GWA to capture their second straight District 31 junior softball championship title.

Bresnahan was the winning pitcher and was terrific for GWA. She allowed just two hits in five innings. She struck out four opposing hitters while issuing just one walk. Forty Fort/ Kingston’s first hit didn’t come until the third inning.

Lauren Maloney then followed suit by coming in to pitch the final two innings. She used the combination of a terrific fastball and an even better changeup to keep the opposition off balance in the batters box.

Przybyla led the GWA offense with four hits. Turner, Bresnahan and Carey also had multi-hit games for Greater Wyoming Area.

Fultz led the Blue Devils with 10 touchdowns – all of the receiving variety – as the wide receiver caught 35 balls for 549 yards. The two-way performer also finished third on the team in tackles with 73 from his defensive back position. He also had two interceptions.

the way for an Old Forge offense that rushed for over 1,600 yards and 22 touchdowns.

The versatile Tagliaferri led the Blue Devils in scoring with 12 touchdowns. The Old Forge

running back scored seven touchdowns on the ground as he ran for 231 yards on 39 carries.

He also hauled in four touchdown passes as he caught 17 balls for 247 yards out of the

backfield. His 12th touchdown came on a kickoff return. Defensively, the outside linebacker recorded 63 tackles, including 19 for loss, to go with three sacks.

Anyone who is interested in Minor League baseball is generally only interested because they support the Major League club that that team is affiliated with.

Well, with the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees, you get a nice taste of some major league talent.

Throughout the year, if you took a trip to PNC field you would have seen some veteran names you might recognize from the past.

The Yankees have had former Major League stars such as Carlos Silva, Mark Prior, and Kevin Millwood right here in our backyard.

Although Millwood and Silva are no longer a part of the Yankee organization, there are still some notable faces on the team.

These players, though, are not there because they are “washed up.”

Most of our area being that we live in Pennsylvania, support the Phillies, which means that they will recognize the name JC Romero.

Romero is a left-handed reliever who has had a very successful career. He’s spent time with the Twins, Phillies, Red Sox, Angels and now the Yankees. Romero was with the Phillies as recently as May and after he was released, he signed with the Nationals.

Due to a clause in his contract, Romero became a free agent and, as of Wednesday, is now a Yankee.

Romero is exactly what the Yankees are looking for but his contribution at the big league level won’t come easy. The Yankees are going to make him prove himself at the Triple-A level before being promoted.

That means that for a nice amount of time we get to see a good Major League pitcher here in Scranton. There’s no doubt in my mind that Romero will be in pinstripes before the rosters expand in September. The Yankees need his left arm. That being said, make sure you see him live before you start seeing him help the Yankees win championship number 28.

The biggest reason why you should be flooding the stadium in Scranton, though, is right-hander Ivan Nova.

Nova has been with the New York club for a year and he has done a very nice job picking up the team in its need for starting pitching. He was having a wonderful rookie season before he was sent down and he has made a good name for himself in the big leagues.

You might ask then, if he was so good then why did he get sent down?

Well that is because of the wonderful setup we call the 25-man roster. With Sabathia, Burnett, Garcia, and Colon having good seasons, Nova became the odd man out when former 18-game winner Phil Hughes recovered from his injury. So to keep him fresh, the Yankees sent him down.

Nova is a great talent that is already proven at the Major League level. Teams would kill for that. He has a bright future and the minute the Yankees need a start it will be Nova to the rescue.

Not only should you go see Nova pitch now because he can be a contributor in New York later this season, but you should see Nova now because for years to come you’ll be watching him prosper into one of the better pitchers in the Major Leagues.

FOLLOWING THE FORGE

By Rick Notari

rnotari@psdispatch.com

Wild Debut Kyle McMyne struck out the first three batters he faced in his professional debut three weeks ago when the Old Forge grad took the mound for the RookieLevel Billings (MT) Mustangs against the Great Falls Voyagers.

And in typical fashion, McMyne then induced a grounder to third for the third out of the inning.

Yes. You read that right.

McMyne actually needed four outs to complete his first professional inning of work.

The Villanova product threw three strikes to the leadoff hitter to start the game, but when a third-strike slider got past the Mustangs catcher, the batter reached first. McMyne then struck out the next hitter on three pitches, and notched his third strikeout on four pitches.

The fourth-round pick of the Cincinnati Reds, McMyne pitched a scheduled two innings in the start and allowed just a bloop single in pitching to eight hitters. On the season, McMyne has pitched six innings in three starts, allowing three runs on

Blue Devils among UNICO stars

seven hits and two walks. He has struck out six. The Mustangs are 2-1 when McMyne has started.

McMyne spent four days at the Reds spring training facility in Goodyear, AZ before being assigned to Billings. Manager Pat Kelly said in a radio interview prior to McMyne’s second start against Mizzoula that the OFHS all-time strikeout leader would begin his work slowly after pitching so many innings during the collegiate season.

The annual Lackawanna County UNICO All-Star Soccer Cup will be played Friday at the University of Scranton’s Fitzpatrick Field with the girls’ match beginning at 6 p.m., followed by the boys’ match at 8 p.m.

Old Forge grads Jess Casey, Jason Sniegowski, and Matt Colianni will represent the Blue Devils in the games. Dana Bilski and Michael Long were also selected to participate but both are unable to participate due to a schedule conflicts.

Dream job

Former Old Forge standout Nick Parise is serving as this year’s Dream Game chairman.

Parise, who is employed by Fidelity Bank, has volunteered with the Scranton Lions Club for the past several years, and has been part of the Dream Game staff during that time.

The Dream Game is sponsored by the Lions Club of Scranton and the proceeds support the programs of the Lackawanna Coun-

ty Branch of the Pennsylvania Association of the Blind.

UGI Reading Wizard visits JFK Elementary The UGI Reading Wizard recently visited the first grade students at the J.F.K. Elementary School for their third and final Reading is Fundamental (RIF) book distribution, which is provided through a monetary grant through UGI Utilities, Inc. RIF, one of the oldest largest children’s literary organizations, conducted three book distributions this year to all the Wyoming Area School District’s first grade students. Since 1991, UGI and RIF have been involved in a unique motivational reading partnership designed to help first grade students improve their reading skills and become lifelong learners. One hundred and ninety first grade Wyoming Area students experienced the fun-filled reading events and selected three books at no cost to them or their families.

The program is funded through a federal grant to the UGI Corporation. Employees from UGI Utilities, Inc in Wilkes-Barre volunteered their time to be in attendance during the three scheduled book distributions to assist children in the various reading activities. The Reading Wizard visiting the J.F.K. student was portrayed by UGI employee, Ms. Donna Layaou.

During his visit the UGI Reading Wizard wanted to hear all about the books the children chose and read from each of the book distribution events. The UGI Reading Wizard is a big promoter of the importance for students to keep on reading. The Wizard brought along his favorite story about how he got his name, the Reading Wizard. His book is a coloring book as well as a wonderful story. In addition to his book he also gave each child a Reading Wizard bookmark. The first grade students were very excited on meeting the Reading Wizard.

Lisa Ninotti, UGI Community Relations Coordinator, read Reading Wizard’s favorite book to each first grade class and reminded them to ’keep on reading."

Rita Mauriello, District Reading Supervisor, coordinated the Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) program for the district’s first grade students. First grade J.F.K. students can bee seen in the photos with the Reading Wizard during the final book distribution for the year.

Pictured above, Matthew Pelleschi, a first grade student in Mrs. DeAngelo's class, is happily showing the reading book he chose from RIF along with Reading Wizard's favorite book.

Central counties of the state.

Cassandra and her fiancé, Jim, plan to marry in April 2013.

Following is the text of her speech: Good evening everyone. First off I want to thank you for inviting me tonight and I want to personally thank all of the people who make these scholarships to Wyoming Area possible. It is so great to be back in the school that brings back so many fond memories, to see familiar faces of teachers that made my high school years both meaningful and entertaining at times.

It feels like just yesterday I was walking down these halls trying to avoid the hall monitors, or spending every study hall with Mrs. Rabel in the guidance office. The friendships I formed at Wyoming Area have only streng-

thened as the years have passed. they helped me become the person I am today.

Wyoming Area teaches us to become a family. The friends that I met in elementary school are going to be my bridesmaids at my upcoming wedding.

On our graduation day, it was sad to say goodbye to that family that I shared so many memories with. Those unforgettable pep rallies, the student council meetings and bus trips, the footballs games, which reminds me of something most of you probably do not know, I was the official senior class mascot in 2005-2006, talk about school pride! But it’s something that I still look back on and laugh at.

And just like parents, the teachers at Wyoming Area push you to the point where you just

want to scream, always revealing hidden life lessons in their lectures, it isn’t until looking back on it now, having taken those lessons out into the real world, that I realize they truly were relevant and practical.

That’s something you don’t get at every high school: the ability to trust your teachers like family, to go to them with problems, and they, willingly bending over backwards to help every time. I consider myself extremely lucky to be a product of Wyoming Area.

If it weren’t for the guidance and direction I received from the one and only Mrs. Fedor, I don’t know if I would have gotten into college or landed an internship right out of high school with State Rep. Phyllis Mundy … an internship that shaped the direction of my life.

I was fortunate enough to work in the field where I would ultimately build my career all through college. It is remarkable when you think about it. Teachers like Mrs. Fedor truly have a remarkable life-altering impact on student’s lives. She’s a one-ina-million educator and Wyoming Area is extremely fortunate to have her.

And I know I am only one in a long line of students she has touched and had a tremendous impact on.

I’ll never forget the day of graduation, the day I received the call and was offered that internship, the one that would change my path in life, for the better.

Phyllis Mundy was an amazing

role model for a young woman who had a liking for politics, and notice I say liking. It was through my work with Phyllis and with her guidance that I was able to develop that liking, into a love, a love that has given me the motivation to wake up every day, the passion to want to go to work because I truly enjoy what I’m doing, a love that has gotten me to the place I am today, and will continue to guide the path I take as my political career begins to unfold.

I would be remiss, however, if I didn’t attribute the spark of that passion for politics to the person who deserves it. Three and a half years ago, my life changed. My grandfather, who was sitting Mayor of Exeter at the time, was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. It was then, that I truly needed all those life lessons I learned at Wyoming Area. My grandfather and I shared a very special bond through politics. He wanted me, if and when he passed away, to fulfill his term.

With determination and desire to stand up for what I felt was right, I accepted my grandfather’s final wish and I was sworn in as Mayor of Exeter Borough in October 2008.

At 20 years old, I was, at that time, the youngest female mayor serving in the United States and was now responsible for a town with just under 6,000 residents.

It was then that I remembered all those secret life lessons that were hidden in those dreaded lectures.

I should fight for what I wanted; I should never give up; I should

never let criticism bring me down for this was just the beginning of what I had in store.

Today, I look back at everything that happened and realize, everything happens for a reason, I am a huge believer in that.

At 23 years old, I have already seen opportunities I never dreamed of, most recently, the very surreal feeling of walking into a drug store, or Walmart, or a grocery story, or a news stand and to open up Oprah Magazine, a nationally read magazine and be able to see my face and my story. I was successful in making the one thing my grandfather always hoped for come true: putting Exeter Borough in Northeastern PA on the map.

So if I can leave you with one piece of advice tonight, never forget where you came from, for in a few years you will be able to look back and say “Wow that’s what this lecture meant, or that’s why that teacher was so hard on me.” And never give up on yourself. If you believe in something, if you want something, fight for it until the bitter end.

Because the most important thing is for each and every one of you to be able to lay your head down at night with a clear conscience. Don’t try to please anyone else, you are the only one who has to truly live with your decisions.

So, Wyoming Area Class of 2011, I wish you much luck and success in your future endeavors, and remember, we will all, every single one of us, be forever Warriors.
