The joy and privilege of looking up With the band packing up its equipment Thursday night and most folks, patrons and volunteers alike, long gone, a few of us sat in the parking lot of St. John the Evangelist Parish following the opening night of the annual bazaar and wondered what was more striking: the moon climbing in the dark sky to our left or the steeple of the United Methodist Church at the corner of Broad and Church streets towering over the trees to our right. We had trouble taking our eyes off either.

The moon was about as full as the moon can be but there was something about the old steeple, in need of repair to be sure but with a distinct air of dignity, that gave the moon a run for its money. With the lighting from the bazaar casting a glow on the trees, the steeple took on an air of elegance that brought most of our small group to declare it the winner in this impromptu beauty contest of inanimate objects. It was truly something to behold on

this clear, crisp August night.

I was especially pleased because I have this thing about the steeples of Pittston and West Pittston. I never get tired of looking at them. And I look at them all the time.

I mentioned here once before that I can see one of the twin towers of St. Casimir’s Church from my front yard. I kept looking at it while mowing the lawn Thursday afternoon, enjoying the way the gold of its cross stood out against the green backdrop of the mountains to the west. St. Casimir’s is empty now, an early victim of the downsizing of the Diocese of Scranton. That saddens me but does not take away from the majesty of the structure.

I see the complete St. Casimir’s in all its Baroque glory almost every day. When I drive down Butler Street, which I do several times a week, the steeple I see from my yard is dead ahead for the first several hundred feet. It’s eye-level to me before Butler begins its

descent toward the Susquehanna River but it doesn’t stay that way. Just as I reach the home that’s been in the Linskey family for as long as I can remember, the road commences its dip downward and St. Casimir’s is slowly revealed the way it might be if someone were pulling back a curtain on a massive stage.

The curtain in this case is the overgrown shrubbery ahead and to my right. As the car moves along – and I make sure it moves ever so slowly – little by little, the shrubbery gives way to bring more and more of the church into view until every bit of it fills the array. At that moment I lean toward the windshield in order to see the yellow brick building from top to bottom and bottom to top, taking extra care to ignore the For Sale sign attached with masonry nails where the cornerstone used to be.

As I pass through the intersection of Butler and Church streets, however, I turn my eyes

away from St. Casimir’s. I can’t help it because to my direct left, out of the driver’s side window, looms majestic St. John the Evangelist, perhaps the most spectacular church in the entire diocese, inside and out.

St. John’s sits at the bottom of another hill and from here I am eye-level with its rose window. If it’s nighttime with the church aglow in flood light, and there are no cars behind me, I actually come to a complete stop as I marvel at its beauty.

Slowly rolling along again, St. John’s disappears behind some homes, but as it does, the United Methodist Church of West Pittston, located across the river in a town aptly nicknamed “The Garden Village,” comes into view, its whiteness a perfect contrast with the green of the trees around it. Many are familiar with this spectacle as seen from the top of William Street, especially at night when it is lighted, but the view from Butler Street is my favorite. I gaze at it as long as I can.

VOL. 65, NO. 27 Editorial.............................................................14 Maria Heck........................................................15 Nutrition............................................................15 St. John’s Bazaar ............................................16 Peeking into the Past......................................17

If I happen to be heading to West Pittston, whether by the Fort Jenkins Bridge or the Firefighters Memorial Bridge, I lose sight of the white Methodist steeple, but am able to catch the tippy-top of the steeple of First United Presbyterian Church, its turquoise tip pointing toward the sky. This too is one of my favorite churches and I often drive out of my way just to enjoy its majesty.

Returning from West Pittston, I prefer to take Water Street and never mind getting the stop light at the intersection with Kennedy Boulevard. Sitting there, I enjoy the simplicity of the First Presbyterian Church directly in front of me.

I feel just as content sitting at the red light at the intersection of Main Street and Columbus Avenue in South Pittston. From there one can see the steeples of Pittston right across the horizon above the rooftops, those of St. John’s taking center stage. The view always makes me grateful I get to call this place home.

Always a busy time, sewer project makes it more stressful this year

By Jack Smiles

Associate Editor

On Thursday workers worked on a sewer project trench on the Tomato Festival Lot.

On Tuesday Dente’s Catering will begin erecting the vendor tents, which is less a beginning and more an end to several months of preparation.

In the spring parade chairs Jim and Judy Deice began working on a parade line up, while Nocito was working on coordinating times for booking entertainment and Susan Lombardo began contacting the vendors.

The queen pageant also requires months of preparation.

In mid-June Guido Galli inspected the electrical system.

This week, even with a permanent electrical infrastructure in place, Galli still has to supervise the stringing of some 130 lines for the 60 vendors.

Saturday is a yeoman day for the committee with off site events the 5K race, parade and tomato fights requiring logistics like mile makers, water stations, police protection, and clean up.

Each night after the festival closes two to three hours of clean up and shut down work remains.

Lombardo said the state of the area around the lot by Thursday won’t be perfect but it will be

safe. “We’re asking everyone bear with us this year. When they come back next year they’ll see a major transformation.”

Downtown manager Rose Randazzo agreed. “We’re trying like heck. As far as the sidewalk in front of Palazzo’s and Reilly’s goes the contractor promised it would be ready. You can’t stop these multi-million dollar projects, but they are doing the best they can. One more year to bear and it will look like a different town.”

Nocito said she expects the festival to get bigger and better in the future.

“We were in Parade Magazine.

We’re getting more national exposure. We want to see the lot The former Wayne's World building was demolished last week. grow and we’re working with the city to make that happen.”

As if getting ready to host 50,000 people in downtown Pittston isn’t worrisome enough under normal circumstances demolition and sewer and sidewalk construction in the downtown has the Tomato Festival Committee members on alert.

“It’s a little stressful,” said cochair Lori Nocito, “but when you look over the years we’ve overcome obstacles before.”

Co-chair Mike Lombardo agreed. “The first year we moved into the new lot we had a lot of challenges. An old garage had to be demolished a month before the festival.”

But the special challenges this year are mostly out of the committee’s control. As of Friday, less than a week before the festival, Main Street in the festival lot block was a maze of traffic cones, barricades, trenches, heavy construction equipment and missing sidewalks.

As Lombardo put it, “Main has been like s slalom course, go left, go right. We just have to deal with it. We’re calling this the suck it up year and reminding everybody the inconvenience is caused by progress.”

Lombardo said he recommended the festival T-shirts should sport a logo with a tomato surrounded by construction barriers.

On Thursday a deep trench for a storm water pipe installation was right across the festival lot’s Main Street entrance and a construction crew was working on a trench right on the lot in the area where the band shell will go.

But by Saturday morning both these areas were filled and patched.

By Tuesday the construction heavy equipment, including a backhoe which was parked on the lot Saturday, will be moved to a lot behind city hall.

The city also halted work on the open space, or Boden outlet, in favor of the festival because they didn’t want a dumpster on Main Street right across from the lot.

Some call it a ‘shot in the arm,’ others a waste of tax dollars

The artist's rendition of the proposed condo along the Susquehanna River in downtown Pittston.

Bill Yurkon, of Exeter, said he has no problem with public money going into the project or the seeming slow progress. “Slow and steady wins the race. You need money from the state to get the project going. If Pittston doesn’t get it will go someplace else.”

Burger King manager Paul Matreselva didn’t have an opinion on the use of public money on the project, but he’s looking forward to having new housing so close. “People living across the street in walking distance will help us,” he said.

Lou Scarantino, a shopper at Quinn’s, finds it hard to believe the units, expected to cost over $150,000, will sell. “I don’t see in a recession people paying triple digits to move into Pittston and look over the river. If I could pay triple digits I’d be looking over the ocean.”

Scarantino said the money should be spent on more affordable housing. “They should build See CONDO, Page 7

At B & G Beverage, Burger King, Quinn’s Market, and the Coffee Table Restaurant the news that Governor Tom Corbett awarded Pittston a $2.5 million grant to jump start a $9.4 million condo project on the city’s riverfront was met with both optimism and skepticism.

Bob Potenza is the co-owner of B & G Beverage right next to the condo site. While admitting that having 41 mid-scale housing units next door could only help his business, he said he has a hard time believing the project, which he has been hearing about for 10 years, will actually happen and he’s not happy that taxpayers are footing part of the bill.

“I personally don’t think it will happen,” Potenza said. “A ton has been spent already and no results yet. I’m very disappointed Governor Corbett is wasting the taxpayers’ money. The money should go to relieve property tax.”

The “ton” already spent Potenza referred too is grant money the city’s redevelopment authority used to acquire and demolish the two old buildings – the Turco building and a state employment office – which occupied the site.

One was bought with a $650,000 housing rehabilitation grant from 2007. Some of the city’s $1.5 million share of casino money was used to buy the other property.

Ann Marie Conroy, 78, who came into B & G to buy lottery tickets agreed with Potenza.

“Why should our money go to private business,” she said. “The streets are rotten. They are tearing everything down and not building anything up.”

Two retirees having lunch across the street at Burger King had a different opinion. Marty Redding hopes it gets built. “It takes them so long to do anything, but yeah, that would be good for the city. They have a nice view of the river over there.”

His friend Tony Bianco said the city needs a shot in the arm.

“The city needs something like that. It really does. I think it will help the city a lot.”

Junction Jam to honor two local fallen heroes Event at Jefferson Park on Aug. 26, 27 to feature several bands and a kids’ day Two fallen local heroes who died in service to their country will be honored and several charitable organizations will benefit when “Junction Jam ‘11” is staged on August 26 and 27 at Jefferson Park in the junction section of Pittston.

This year’s event is dedicated to the memory of First Lt. Jeffrey DePrimo, of Pittston, who was killed while serving in Afghanistan on May 19, 2008, and SPC. Dale Kridlo, of Hughestown, who was killed while serving in Afghanistan on Nov. 7, 2010.

Part of the proceeds will be used to purchase the base of a donation tree to be place at Pittston Memorial Library in memory of DePrimo and Kridlo. Those donating to the library’s current expansion project will be recognized with leaves on the tree.

Remaining proceeds will be divided between the Pittston Care and Concern Pediatric Clinic, the Pittston Food Pantry and the Pittston City Parks Department and a donation will be made in the name of Peter Zawierucha, a good friend of many in the Junction, who died recently.

By Dominick P. Pannunzio, Esq. The U.S. Supreme Court has held in a unanimous decision that an Army reservist who had been terminated from his civilian job as a hospital technician could bring a claim under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act based on evidence that the individual who termintated him, an unbiased human resources manager, relied in part upon discipline issued by the employee’s two immediate supervisors, who were motivated by hostility toward the employee’s military obligations.

The situation where an employee seeks to hold an employer liable for the animus of a supervisor who is not the ultimate decision-maker, is commonly referred to as a “cat’s paw” case. The same theory might well apply to other types of employment discrimination. *** The Mississippi Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of the state’s price gouging law. In a recent unanimous decision, the justices overturned a lower court ruling that the law was unconstitutionally vague. The law says that during an emergency, goods and services shouldn’t cost more than what’s ordinarily charged for comparable items “in the same market area at or immediately before the declaration of a state of emergency or local emergency.” “Comprehending the nature of the conduct prohibited by the Price-Gouging Statute requires neither an advanced degree from the Wharton Business School nor an accounting degree from one of our fine public universities,” Supreme Court Justice Randy Pierce wrote.

apartments for people who live around here, not for people who already have money.”

At the Coffee Table restaurant Frank Husband said people moving into small cities is a trend.

Though he’s from Back Mountain he is familiar with the project. “I think it’s the right thing.

People want to live near services and a downtown setting like Pittston gives them that.”

Husband didn’t object to the use of public money on the project. “As a taxpayer I’m concerned about spending, but it would be short-sighted not to help a project like that get started. People should look to the long-run benefit.”

Downtown manager Rose Randazzo said Husband has the right outlook and she isn’t bothered by naysayers. “There are always going to be skeptics,” she said, “but it’s going to happen and it will be a tremendous boost for the city.”

The condo project will be six stories and include 41 units with 82 parking spaces. Jerry Mullarky of the Redevelopment Authority said a unit cost-estimate of $265,000 attributed to him in a news story during the week was a misquote. He estimates the units – ranging from 1,190 square feet to 1,620 – will be in the $170,000 range.

The city is meeting with the

developers, Siniawa and Grimm LLP of Dickson City, tomorrow, Monday, where Mullarky said, “We’ll go over next steps to get project on track.”

With the project the city expects to capitalize on a nationwide trend of young professionals moving are into older small cities, reflected by loft apartment developments in Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. .

This trend will generate revenue for the city and increase the average assessed value of homes which will help manage the millage rate. It is also hoped bringing in new residents will put a spotlight on the neglected riverfront park and enhance the Main Street business atmosphere.

In other news, it was announced last week that Pittston’s Main Street redevelopment project will receive $3 million in state RACP grant funding for the construction of a $6.45 million retail and office building to be developed by Gilbro Realty, Old Forge, on the northeast corner of North Main and William streets.

The building is planned to include 6,800 square feet of firstfloor retail space and 9,100 square feet of office space. Some of the grant will also be put toward the renovation of a neighboring three-story building, the construction of off-street parking spaces and some streetscape work.

Three generations of Buteras make use of the YMCA Michael I. Butera passed along the family membership tradition by bringing his son to the gym.

“Its tradition,” he said.

Third generation Y member Peter Butera first entered the Y with the goal of learning how to swim. Now that he has grown up a bit that goal has changed.

“I come here every day to play basketball; I come here to shoot around. I get to meet a lot of people playing basketball,” Peter said.

But why did Michael I. take his son Peter to the Y? With so many other gym options out there, why the Y? “Most of the other fitness clubs are geared towards adults

they don’t have things for children. They don’t have things for families to do together. I come over here with my son and play basketball with him; I come over here with my father and go swimming with him,” he said.

He expressed that the YMCA is consistently active within the community, and that that dedication is what separates it from other fitness centers.

“The hours are unbelievable.

They are open 7 days a week 5:30 in the morning till 9:30 at night. I’m an early morning person; my father’s a mid-morning to mid-afternoon and my son is a night guy. At any time of the day there is a Butera at the Y.”

The Y not only provides a pool, basketball court and fitness center to keep the Buteras happy, it also provides a plethora of friendships along the way.

“I met people at the Y when I was 5 years old that I am still friends with today,” Michael I. said. “My older children all came to the Y and grew up in the Y, and they went to daycare here and went to preschool here. They met kids when they were in preschool that they are still friends with today and they are young adults now. I think you make friends here and you meet people here that provide lifelong relationships.”

88-year-old Michael J. Butera, 60-year-old Michael I. Butera and 12-year-old Peter Butera are all members of the Pittston YMCA. The three generations together find the facility a place of not only exercise but also of refuge. Together they represent not only three generations of Buteras but also three generations of members at the Y. The first Butera to have a Y membership was grandpa Michael J Butera.

“I have been a member of the Y ever since Broadstreet,” said the elder Butera.

Although he considers himself “strictly a swimmer,” he also dabbled in a bit of boxing back in the day. Eventually he passed on the torch and took his son to the Y. “I wanted him to get physically fit like his daddy,” said grandpa Butera. Michael I. Butera first entered the Y when he was around 5 years old.

“I learned how to swim there, and I played all the sports and games there,” he said. He played

in various basketball leagues while still on the swim team.

“Oh, when I was a kid we used to go to the Y every day after school. They had a lobby and ping pong tables and vending machines, people hung out at the Y. It was the place to hang out in Pittston,” he added.

From basketball to volleyball, and even some track he went to the old Y constantly until a fire destroyed the building. Then together Michael, senior and junior, joined the new Y on Main Street.

“It was very exciting because everything was new, obviously everything at the old Y was very very old,” said M.I. Butera.

How old? The original Y opened in 1880 and didn’t move to Main Street till 1983.

Because of the Y’s family atmosphere, friendly staff and downtown Pittston convenience,

Panda Mania was this year’s version of Vacation Bible School with more than 20 children under the direction of Marcia Colleran. This year’s program came from Group Publishing. Each day started with party time sing and play. The kids would rotate every 20 minutes. First of five stations was Wild Bible Adventures led by Amy Saunders for elementary and Tracy Drummond for the pre-school. Next, Crazy Crafts & Missions led by Renee Weislogel and assisted by Kathy Capobianco. The kids learned about operation Kids to Kids that helps at risk children in Latin America and each day they made a craft for that day. Third was Chadder Movie Mania led

by Nancy Castellani for the elementary and Tracy Drummond for the pre school. This featured a cliff hanger video segment where Chadder Chimpmunk explained the daily bible point. Also the children experienced God sightings in the large green posters the children made. Fourth was Tree Top Treats led by Cheryl Pipher. Different crews of kids prepared a snack each day.

Finally, Bamboo Blast was led

by Marcia Colleran. Here the children got to use some of their energy. These stations were followed by Rowdy Wrap Up. Sharlene Palaima was the leader of this station.

Many thanks to all the volunteers crew leaders, Michelle Cherney with elementary and Bill Givens assisted pre-school with Heidi Weislogel and Trish Bobbouine. The Kitchen Crew was Barb Laurie who had a busy time during cleanup during the breaks with dye and paints etc.

OUR OPINION

FUN FOTO

Father Paul taken by surprise

Thanks for the festival For months about 30 local men and women have been putting in hours of volunteer work so 1000s of us can have four days fun this week.

We are talking about the members of the Tomato Festival Committee. In wouldn’t seem that there is a lot in it for them.

Committee members don’t make money, vendors do.

Committee members don’t get “mmm that’s good,” vendors do.

Committee members hear more complaints than praise. More of you shoulda done this, than thanks for doin’ that.

So why do they do it?

They may get personal satisfaction from it. They may feel the warmth of commaradire from being part of a successful team.

But we suspect there’s another reason they do it.

For love.

They love our area.

They love the festival.

They probably love tomatoes, too.

And they must love us to work so hard to make us happy.

So here’s to them, the folks of the Pittston Tomato Festival. Here to loving them back. Here’s a public bit of thanks and praise for: Mike Lombardo, Susan Lombardo, Jim Zarra, Lori Nocito, Lee Bantell, Phil Campenni, Jeanie Bantell, Tony Bantell, Clairellen Hopple, Mary Chiarelli, Donna Connors, Ken Bangs, Joan McFadden, Michael Lombardo, Esq., James Deice, Judy Deice, Joleen Lazecki, Tom Sewatsky, Jerry Mullarkey, Chris Latona, Suzanne Agostinelli and Alan Dente.

And Theresa Colella, Angel Noone, Jerry Mecadon, Esq., Krista Mecadon, Sherri Petrikonis, Jennifer Yelen, Guido Galli, Gina Miscavage, Jackie Galvin, Rita Skechus, Paul Geroski, Judy Strelish, Cindy Esposito, Ginger Murphy, Jennifer Haas, Rosemary Dessoye, Bob Pugliese, Maria Caporella-Montante, Chris Bantell, Danielle Savitsky, Katie Duffy.

And Atty. Ben Tielle, Jay Duffy, Paul Cooper, Terri Zezza, Jim Noone, Rich Kossuth, Barbara Altoe, Terri Zezza, Tony Guariglia, Nicole Sowinski, Mike Sowinski, Carmella Gubbiotti and Chester Montante.

GUEST OPINION

Sometimes guardian angels turn out to be real people

By Matt Powell

Dispatch Intern

Over this past month I’ve done a lot of thinking. I thought about where my life is going, if I am happy with myself, and wondering if I am moving in the right direction.

At first, I was very discontent. It seemed like everything was going wrong. My muscles were sore, my writing was far from good, and the girl who I thought was “the one” didn’t share the POWELL same feelings as I did.

For those who know me, everything was on the up-and-up. I was still optimistic, I carried a smile on my face, and everything seemed to be flowing with ease.

However, deep in the depths of my soul, I was screaming for someone to save me and it seemed like nobody was listening, or so I thought.

Somebody was listening, although I’m not sure if I realized it at first. Lizz Raffa has been my friend only a short amount of time, but I feel comfortable telling her anything. She’s the kind of person who tells it how it is and she will drop anything, just to help a friend in need.

If you need someone to put a smile on your face, you go to Lizz. Even if you’re only with her for five minutes she somehow makes you feel like you’re on top of the world. She is the one

person who’s been there for me in good times and in bad.

When the girl who I cared for rejected me, Lizz was there to pick up the pieces and assure me that the right person is out there.

She made me realize that when I finally do find that right person it will be the greatest feeling in the world.

Who knows? Maybe she is closer to me then I think.

She taught me to open my eyes and appreciate what I have right in front of me. She gave me the strength I needed to keep pushing and when I’m falling I know I could count on her to catch me.

Most importantly, when I’m with Lizz my CP (ed. insert: cerebral palsy) doesn’t exist. Even if it’s just for a few seconds, I’m pain free.

You see, Lizz doesn’t see a guy with a hurt leg.

Lizz sees me for who I really am, a good friend.

I don’t know how I will ever repay her but I do know this: Lizz Raffa was the friend who saved me in every way possible when I was crying for help.

I know she will always be there for me and I will always be there for her. She is a friend who I care about deeply, my guardian angel.

Note: Matt Powell, of Avoca, who has cerebral palsy, is entering his final semester at Luzerne County Community College.

He just completed a summer internship at the Sunday Dispatch.

Add fiber to child’s meals Feeling a bit like you have been short changing you and your child’s diet lately? Eating out and enjoying snack foods too much?

Why not perform a fiber makeover on you and your child’s diet?

Fiber is important for our health, since it can help prevent diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Fiber helps us to feel full longer and traps unhealthy food components such as cholesterol. It also helps remove food from our bodies quickly and keeps our digestive system working well.

Regardless of our age, all of us including children need to be incorporating more fiber into our diets. Adults should consume 14 grams of fiber per 1000 calories consumed. So for most adults that would be 25-30 grams per day. Children need less fiber than adults.

For kids ages 1-3 years, the recommendation is 19 grams per day and for children ages 4-8, the daily recommendation is 25 grams.

You don’t need to take fiber supplements to obtain the recommended intake. You can consume enough if you eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily plus seven servings of whole grains and beans.

A food is considered high in fiber if it contains at least 5 grams of fiber per serving. Examples of high fiber foods include a fresh pear, 1 cup of cooked broccoli, 1 cup of cooked kidney or navy beans, or 1 cup of cooked oat bran. Other good sources of fiber include fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, and whole grain breads and cereals.

Here are some tips to help you introduce a new food into your household. First, it’s OK for young children to play with their foods as long as they wash their hands first and of course it is supervised by an adult. Let them take part in preparing meals as much as possible. It would be great if they can pick the cucumber or tomato and then be a part of preparation too. Some other tips are: Be a role model; slowly introduce one new high fiber food at a time to replace low fiber foods; look at nutrition labels and last but not least, be creative, find out how to substitute high fiber foods for lower fiber foods. Below are some examples along with a great dip recipe to get you started.

Low Fiber Meals Breakfast: Orange juice, sweetened cereal Lunch: Turkey & cheese sandwich on white bread, potato chips Dinner: White pasta with tomato sauce, cookie High Fiber Meals Breakfast: Whole fresh orange, whole grain cereal without added sugar Lunch: Turkey & cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread, raw carrots with low-fat dip Dinner: Whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce, fresh strawberries with whipped topping Fiesta Hummus

1 can (15 1/2 oz) garbanzo beans 1/2 tsp cumin 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 cup plain yogurt, fat-free 1 Tbsp lime juice 1 Tbsp sesame oil or olive 2 jalapeno peppers, chopped - optional 2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped Drain and mash garbanzo beans in blender, food processor, or with fork. Add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth. Serve with cucumber slices. Enjoy!

Question #1 In 1948 what threatened to “bankrupt” local amateur baseball teams?

Peeking into the past With Judy Minsavage

1948 – 63 Years Ago Ted Smulowitz and several other parties purchased Champ Brewery, located on North Main and New streets for $68,000. After the sale, the brewery was scheduled to be dismantled with contents and equipment to be sold overseas. City officials had hoped that the brewery, which closed prior to the sale, would re-open to employ the approximately 50 workers furloughed by the closing.

According to trayman.com the history of the Pittston brewery is as follows: Peter Daily 1873 – 1875, Armene Burschell 1875 – 1878, H.R. Hughes & Co. 1878 – 1884, H.R. Hughes 1884 – 1887, Estate of H.R. Hughes 1887 – 1896, Pennsylvania Central Brewing co. of Scranton, Hughes Ale Brewery Dept.

1896 – 1906, Jos. H. Glennon’s Brewery 1907 – 1920, Liberty Brewing Co. 1933 – 1934, Pittston Brewing Corp. 1934 – 1942, Yankee Brewing Co. 1942 – 1946, Champ Brewing Co. 1946 – 1948.

Visit this website to see a collection of Glennon Brewery beer trays.

The body of Pvt. William Barret of Pittston arrived at the Lehigh Valley Railroad Station. Pvt. Barret was killed in action on February 18, 1944, on Anzio beachhead in Italy, thirteen months before Germany would surrender on May 7, 1945.

During the four-month battle, British and American losses totaled 7,000 killed, 36,000 wounded or missing, and 44,000. The siege of Anzio ended on May 23, 1944, when the Allies launched a breakout offensive.

The body of T/5 Arthur Frith of Wyoming arrived at the D.L. & W. Railroad Station. T/5 Frith died in May, 1944, from wounds received in a fierce battle at Monte Cassino Abbey, Italy.

With the allied launch of Operation Diadem, the fourth battle at Monte Cassino, the German Gustav Line collapsed when the Second Polish Corps succeeded in capturing the abbey, thus ending one of the longest and bloodiest engagements of the Italian campaign.

1968 – 43 Years Ago

1988 – 23 Years Ago Local Historian Bill Hastie was concerned about the condition of one of the oldest cemeteries in the Greater Pittston area, a plot of land on Broad Street containing grave markers from the early 1800s. Hastie reported that the last person buried in the cemetery was a member of the Engleman family, a common name in the Pittston area. Joan Tilley of West Pittston also said her grandparents were buried in the cemetery.

The ninth annual Dispatch Cup Golf Tournament was set for Fox Hill Country Club. Since its inception in 1980, Wyoming Area took home the honors in seven events. Pittston Area took the championship once. Top golfers from Wyoming Area Rob Yatsko, Mike Pascolini, Ross Denisco, Jeff Donnora and Scott McDermott would join Pittston Area’s Sean Gavin, John Luckasavage, Jim Luckasavage and Jim Albert and Seton’s Al Mueller, John Soy, Harry Quinnan and Fred Gustave. If anyone knows the outcome of the tournament please call me at 602-0168.

The areas oldest basketball rivalry ended in 1988. The much anticipated game between Seton Catholic and Pittston Area was eliminated because entry

of a new Class “A” team into the Wyoming Valley Conference. Both teams coaches and players were disappointed games between the two would end. The Seton Catholic, Pittston Area basketball rivalry began with St. John’s, Pittston High School matches. The article in the Sunday Dispatch stated, “In over 20 years of play between Pittston and St. John’s/Seton, no PA basketball team on any level of competition has ever lost a game to the parochial school.”

Question #2 What item, even though thought to be deadly at one time, would never be given up by Pittston residents?

1998 – 13 Years Ago Fun facts about the 1998 15th annual Pittston Tomato Festival: Grand Marshals – Jack Grimes and Mae Middleton McHugh Contestants for Pittston Tomato Queen: Leanne George, Alycia Palsha, Courtney Dombroski, Cindy Morris Jessica Taroli, Jennifer Forlenza, Angel Webby, Winter Rusiloski and Heather Olszewski.

Answer #1 Lost or stolen baseballs were causing undo strain on the finances of local amateur baseball teams. With umpire costs at $7 each, team managers appealed to fans to return homerun balls.

In order to keep the balls, fans would throw them to friends positioned outside of the fence. Others would bring cheaper baseballs to the park and throw them back if they were fortunate enough to catch a foul. Baseball officials appealed to the better nature of fans hoping the play-off season would not bankrupt the leagues.

Answer #2 The British believed the tomato was poisonous and the fear existed in the United States until early in the 19th century. According to tomatofacts.com tomatoes are safe and healthy to eat, their leaves are actually toxic. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says there are 25,000 tomato varieties while other sources list the number at 10,000.

“The superior taste quality of regional tomatoes cannot be duplicated anywhere else on Planet Earth.”

Val Delia, Founder of the Pittston Tomato Festival

1958 – 53 Years Ago The Pittston Sky Knights appealed to residents of Greater Pittston to allow youngsters to continue to fly radio controlled model airplanes as a hobby. The club members ranging in age from 12 to

30 were looking for a suitable location that did not generate complaints from surrounding residents. Sullivan Park was available but had too many scheduled events. An Exeter resident agreed to let the club fly the planes on his land. Club members spent months cutting weeds, installing fencing, and then signed a lease, but neighbors complained of the noise.

Club officers asked that neighbors look at the benefits the club is offering by keeping its younger members off the streets. Bill Kane, club advisor commented, “The boys of the club need a place to fly their models. A level area about one hundred-fifty foot square, where all the neighbors are friendly.

Does anyone know of such a place?”

Avenue Lanes in Exeter held its grand opening offering 16 lanes with automatic pinsetters and bowling demonstrations by Tom Hennessey and Robbie Frye. Although a design for automatic pinsetters was attempted in the 1930s it wasn’t perfected for mass production until 1952. The 1948 Wyoming Avenue address is currently Modern Lanes in Exeter.

The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked Pittston residents, “Do you think it’s proved good or bad for the nation that women were given the right to vote?”

Tom Brown answered, “I don’t think anybody would be able to prove that allowing women to vote hurt America.”

Beverly Narvel added, “I can’t understand why they waited so long. Women have as much at stake as the men and should have equal rights.”

Mrs. Carmelita Maira said, “Women have a lot of good ideas, I think they had a lot to do with advances made in our country.”

Leo Earlley stated, “I don’t think women should have been allowed to vote. There are enough men to handle the operation.”

Women’s struggle for the right to vote began in the 1800s but. The 19th Amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878, and ratified on August 18, 1920. Few early supporters lived to see the victory.

The approval of the new Pittston Area cafeteria equipment was in the hands of the women who had been doing the cooking in the district for many years. A final test by Pennsylvania Power and Light employees included stoves, ovens, dishwashers and tray conveyors. It wasn’t until staff members Mary Andrews, Catherine Zavada, Dolores Rowan, Shari Hurley, Julia Lasky and Antoinette Grabiec gave their approval, did everyone breathe easier.

Sgt. Jerry Moses of Avoca was stationed at Phan Rang, Vietnam. There he saw much suffering especially among the children. In a letter to the Methodist Church Bulletin, Sgt. Moses asked that clothing, personal hygiene items and money be sent to help buy food and a water pump for the village. Phan Rang is located on Vietnam’s South China Sea coast in a semi arid drought environment interrupted with occasional periods of heavy torrential rains. Much of the village, which was situated close to an Air Force Base, was destroyed in the war. Japanese used Phan Rang during World War II. Later, the French used this same airstrip. Photos of Phan Rang circa 1968 can be found on-line.

Penney’s was the first to offer back-toschool bargains with boys’ slacks at $3.98 and acrylic sweaters at $3.99.

Cotton print material was $.58 a yard and sturdy corduroy for $.77 a yard.

Wyoming Area Class of ’71 notes 40th anniversary

PHOTOS BY TONY CALLAIO

The Wyoming Area Class of 1971 recently celebrated their 40th anniversary reunion at St. Barbara Parish Hall, Exeter. More than 80-classmates attended the two-day reunion.

The class was treated to a tour of Montgomery Avenue Elementary school from where the class graduated prior to Secondary Center being built in 1975.

Mass at St. Barbara’s was held in remembrance of the deceased classmates.

Music was provided by The Reason, led by classmate Dave Cupani. Catering was done by Marianacci’s Restaurant led by classmate Fred Marianacci and his wife Patty.

A special presentation was held during the evening when committee members presented Robert Memory citations from the Pennsylvania House and Senate honoring his dedicated and tireless work he’s conducted over the many years for the class. Bob lost his sight due to diabetes a few years ago, but that didn’t stop him from continuing his work for fellow classmates planning every slight detail to the successful weekend.

Bob Memory was honored by the PA House and Senate with special citations presented by the Class of '71 committee. Seated, left to right: Linda and Bob Memory, Cathy Shulna. Back row: Paul Yanik and Tom Marriott

The Hughestown Hose Company announced the recent award of $2000 from the AKC Companion Animal Recovery (AKC CAR) Canine Support and Relief Fund. This charitable fund was established to support professional and volunteer canine search and rescue organizations throughout the US in continuing commemoration of the heroism of the SAR teams who worked tirelessly to recover victims of the tragic events of 9/11.

Two members of the Back Mountain Kennel Club were pleased to present the check.

As part of this grant program Station 143’s Siberian Husky, Morgan, and Fire Captain Todd Kuna will be receiving specialized training to serve as a SAR team. Since the AKC award covers only a portion of the training and equipment costs for Morgan and Todd, additional donations to the fire company’s SAR team would be greatly appreciated.

$35,469 and West Pittston has received $23,132 from the state’s Recycling Performance Grant Program.

“Exeter and West Pittston have excellent recycling programs, and these grants are an incentive from the state to continue doing their good work,” said Mundy.

“Recycling reduces the amount of waste that gets dumped in landfills and energy consumption because the materials have already undergone processing.”

West Pittston’s grant is based the borough’s population and on recycling 1,079.5 tons of material in 2009. Exeter’s grant is based on the borough’s population and on recycling 2,300 tons of material in 2009. Exeter is the lead agency in a multi-municipal recycling program with neighboring communities.

Mundy added that recycling is a significant part of the state’s economy. According to the state Department of Environmental Protection, there are 3,803 recycling-related businesses in the state that employ 52,316 people with a total annual payroll of $2.2 billion.

“These grants are a smart investment of state money,” Mundy said. “They help Pennsylvania’s environment and economy.”

The grant program was established in 1988 with the signing of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act. Friendly Circle

Patriots energized by new boss Barrett First-year coach has made impression on players

By Rick Notari

Dispatch Staff

A virtual unknown to the Pittston Area community eight months ago, new Patriots gridiron boss Mike Barrett has already made a name for himself within the PA locker room as the high school football season is set to kickoff tomorrow with the official opening of the Fall Sports Season.

That alone, should speak volumes among the Pittston Area faithful.

The former Mid Valley and Valley View assistant coach has brought a renewed energy and a dedication back to the program that its current players are happy to experience – some of them for the first time.

“There is a lot of new energy in the Cefalo Center,” said senior Evan Hahn, a two-way starter during last season’s 0-10 campaign. “He is in the Cefalo Center every day for hours upon hours, putting us to work, watching film, everything you can imagine. He has brought a lot of hard work back to the program.”

Junior Jordan Houseman has also noticed the change from last season.

“He works with us, lifts with us,” said Houseman who burst on to the scene last year as a sophomore playmaker. “All he

Pittston Area opens his first season in charge of the Patriots football program tomorrow morning when the Fall Sports Season officially kicks off.

does is put time in with us. He’s here every day and that work ethic has rubbed off.”

The new coach’s work ethic has not only rubbed off on Hahn and Houseman, but on the entire program as over 60 players are routinely part of the football team’s daily workouts according to Hahn.

Those numbers are something Barrett was counting on when he was hired.

“It’s a big school and there are a lot of kids we are dealing with,” said Barrett, a middle school teacher at his alma mater, Valley View. “But the kids have done an outstanding job since January. They have hit the weight room hard. They have been here all summer. They have done everything we have asked them.

“There is a lot of excitement around the program.”

That excitement also has to do with the positive energy Barrett brings with him from playing and coaching for one of the more storied programs in Northeastern Pennsylvania. That energy, along with being able to relate his players as one of the younger coaches in the area, has grown the confidence of a team that seemed to have no direction last season.

Greater Wyoming Area’s run in the Senior Little League Eastern Regional came up one game short as the Pennsylvania state championship pushed Maryland state champ Home Run Baker Easton of Talbot, MD to the brink in a 12-7 loss on Thursday afternoon at the West Deptford Little League in Thorofare, NJ. GWA finished the Regional with a 6-2 record after making its

way through the elimination bracket after losing its second game of the tournament.

Greater Wyoming Area beat Talbot earlier on Thursday to force a winner take all game. Talbot advances to the Senior Little League World Series in Bangor, ME this weekend.

Greater Wyoming Area simply ran out of arms in its loss to Maryland in the Eastern Regional title game. Colin Herron got

his first start of the Regional, and Tyler Wrubel and Matt Klimas both pitched for the first time in the tournament Herron fell behind, 3-1 after two innings of work, but GWA rallied with five runs in the bottom of the second to take a 6-3 lead. Greater Wyoming Area took advantage of four Talbot errors in the inning while Trent Grove drove in two runs with a double, and Adam Romanowski connected for an RBI single.

Talbot added two more runs in

the third before taking command in the fourth with four runs to take a 9-6 lead and chase Herron.

Wrubel got one out in the fourth while allowing a run, and Klimas pitched the final three innings and allowed just two runs.

But GWA also ran out of offense in the finale, managing just seven hits while unable to score a run in the last three innings.

Bart Chupka added two hits and an RBI for GWA. GWA 9, Talbot (MD) 5

In the first game of Thursday’s doubleheader, Greater Wyoming Area rallied from a 4-0 deficit to force a second game with a 9-5 win over Talbot, MD. GWA scored six runs in the third inning, and added three more in the sixth to defeat the Maryland state champs.

Jake Granteed and Erik Walkowiak both smacked two-run doubles, and Trent Grove’s tworun single highlighted the sixSee SENIOR, Page 44

Stony Point’s only hit was a single to lead off the third inning.

GWA scored its lone run in the top of the first when Trent Grove’s sacrifice fly scored O’Brien who had doubled to right field to start the game.

KEYSTONE GAMES

Top prospect pitching for Lukesh swims to three SWB Yanks, A-Rod coming Keystone gold medals

By Tommy Romanelli

Special to The Dispatch

The Triple-A level is where players are constantly going out and trying to prove that they are worthy enough to don their big league club’s uniform and compete at that level. It’s an exciting level for players and for the fans as well.

You’ve been hearing about your team’s prospects for months and maybe even years and when they get to Triple-A, now you finally can get a taste of what they have to offer.

That being said, the Yankees just called up their best pitching prospect and I couldn’t be happier!

Manny Banuelos is a gem of a pitcher who has a great future ahead of him and he is finally pitching for the Scranton WilkesBarre Yankees.

He is easily my favorite Yankee prospect in their entire system and you can see why by just watching one start.

He is a left-handed pitcher, which any Major league team salivates over these days, so you know he is going to move through the system fast. He’s a superior left handed pitcher compared to most though.

He has three-plus pitches and for being only 20 years old that is really saying something. To be a great starter in Major League Baseball you need at least three good pitches to help get you past some of the lineups some teams are sporting these days.

Most starters in the MLB don’t even have three good pitches. It’s the elite pitchers that have that kind of arsenal. For example, Justin Verlander, CC Sabathia, and Tim Lincecum.

You get the idea. It’s a big deal to have three really good pitches.

Banuelos’ pitches are a fastball, changeup, and a curveball. The key for him to use those pitches in success is to mix them up well enough where the speeds are complimenting each other and the hitter sees the ball breaking from all different angles at different times. That will keep the hitter way off balance.

With young players like Banuelos, the first question everyone always asks is who does he remind you of?

To answer that question, Manny Banuelos reminds me of Johan Santana with a better curveball.

I should clarify though, he reminds me of Johan Santana but when he had an arm. It wasn’t too long ago that Santana was dominating the American League with the Twins.

His mistake was going to the Mets. They seem to ruin everyone don’t they?

Now imagine that dominating Santana (who only had a good fastball and an amazing changeup) and add a great curveball to that. It’s a scary, but also gratifying for Yankees fans, thought isn’t it?

What Banuelos needs to work on while he’s with SWB is his command and location. For a 20-year-old, he has very good command and location but pretty soon he’s going to be counted on in New York so he needs to advance that command and location to the level of a 25 year-old. Once he masters that, he will be great.

Now the rosters are going to expand on September 1 and chances are Banuelos will get a look by the Yankees on or before that date. That gives you about two, maybe three weeks to get out to PNC field and take a look at this kid for yourself.

A-Rod on his way

News out of Tampa is that Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez is expected to play at PNC Field on Tuesday and Wednesday nights for the SWB Yankees on a rehab assignment after knee surgery landed him on the DL in mid July.

ESPN is reporting that A-Rod is expected to play two full nine-inning games with SWB which means local fans will get to see one of the most feared hitters in Major League history to bat 6-8 times at the minimum.

He is currently rehabbing at the Yankees Minor League facility in Florida, and should rejoin the Major League club on Thursday after his two games in Moosic.

Tommy Romanelli is a Wyoming Area grad and a sophomore at LCCC. He writes for pinstripesplus.com. His thoughts on the SWB Yankees will appear in The Dispatch throughout the season.

Nicole Rose Lukesh shows off the four medals she won at the Keystone State Games.

Nicole Rose Lukesh, a resident of Wyoming, took part in the 30th Annual Pennsylvania Keystone State Games in swimming this past summer.

The Keystone Games attracts amateur athletes not only from Pennsylvania but also from all adjoining states plus the District of Columbia. The swimming events took place at the Central York High School in York.

Lukesh won three gold medals and one silver medal in the girls 11-12 year old category.

She won gold in the 50 Free

(27.92), 50 Fly (29.81), and 100 IM (1:10.86), and took silver in the 100 Free (1:02.13).

In June she attended the North Baltimore Swim Clinic for a week-long swim clinic held at the North Baltimore Aquatics Club in Maryland.

While there Lukesh met Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps and trained under several Olympic swim coaches including Phelps’s coach, Bob Bowman.

Nicole Rose is the daughter of Mary Rose and Joseph Lukesh.

rett who has coached under the legendary Frank Pazzaglia since 1997. “It is a learning process.

But our approach was to bring a positive attitude here, to be here for the kids all of the time. I

wanted to have an environment where the kids had a place to come whenever they wanted.

And they have really been accepting of that.

“We have a great, great staff that gets along very well. We like

to (have fun) with the kids, but when its time to take care of business, we are all business.

You have to have a good mix.

You have to be able to come down to their level at times and tell them, ‘Hey, we all under-

stand what it is to be a kid. We’ve been in your shoes and we aren’t going to ask you to do anything we don’t think you can handle.’”

first pro victory Cincinnati Reds minor leaguer pitches five shutout innings

By Rick Notari

Dispatch Staff

Kyle McMyne pitched a season-high five innings to earn his first professional victory in Billings 1-0 win over Great Falls on the road in a Pioneer League game last Sunday in Montana.

McMyne scattered five singles without a walk while striking out four to notch the win. The Old Forge graduate set the tone early by throwing strikes and rode the bat of hot-hitting Sean Buckley who hit is 11th home run of the season in the fourth.

The fourth-round pick of the Cincinnati Reds out of Villanova University, McMyne is 1-1 with an ERA of 7.17 after eight starts.

In those eight starts, the righty has struck out 18 in 21.1 innings while walking nine.

After failing to go more than two innings in any of his first five

starts, the alltime strikeout leader in Old Forge High School history pitched his best two games in McMyne back-to-back efforts against Missoula and Great Falls during the first week of August.

On Friday night in another start against Great Falls, McMyne went three innings allowing five hits – among them three infield singles in the third inning – and three earned runs while fanning three. The Mustangs saved McMyne was from his second career loss later in the game when they rallied for its six straight win.

McMyne’s next start is scheduled for Thursday against Idaho Falls at 9:15 EST. The game can be heard over the internet at www.105thexonline.com

Scranton Bishop Emeritus James C. Timlin celebrated the 60th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood at a Mass in St. Peter’s Cathedral in July. This is also his 35thyear as a bishop.

Bishop Joseph C. Bambera, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus John M. Dougherty and priests of the Diocese will concelebrate the Eucharistic liturgy. Monsignor Joseph G. Quinn, a priest of the Diocese who currently serves as vice president for University Mission and Ministry at Fordham University in New York, will be the homilist.

Bishop Timlin is a city native who received his grade school education at St. John the Evangelist in South Scranton and Holy Rosary in North Scranton. He graduated from Holy Rosary High School and St. Charles College, Catonsville, Md. He attended St. Mary’s Seminary in Baltimore before enrolling in the North American College, Rome, Italy, where he completed his studies for the priesthood.

Bishop Timlin was ordained

on July 16, 1951, in Rome by the late Bishop Martin J. O’Connor, then-rector of North American College.

When asked for his thoughts on his 60thanniversary, Bishop Timlin said he had always wanted to be a priest and “was so grateful that God called him to priesthood and has allowed him to serve for so many years.”

After ordination he continued theology studies in Rome before returning to the Diocese, where he was appointed assistant pastor at St. John the Evangelist Parish, Pittston, in 1952. On June 12, 1953, he became assistant pastor of St. Peter’s Cathedral Parish, Scranton, where he served until Sept. 12, 1966, when he was named assistant chancellor of the Diocese and secretary to the late Bishop J. Carroll McCormick, the sixth Bishop of Scranton.

He was named Auxiliary Bishop of Scranton on Aug. 3, 1976.

He was ordained a bishop in St. Peter’s Cathedral on Sept. 21, 1976. At that time he also became Vicar General of the Diocese. In September, 1979, he be-

came pastor of the Church of the Nativity of Our Lord, Scranton.

The late Cardinal John J. O’Connor, the seventh Bishop of Scranton, appointed him chairman of the Board of Advisors for St. Pius X Seminary, and chairman of the Preparatory Commission for the Diocesan Synod in the summer of 1983.

Upon the cardinal’s transfer to the Archdiocese of New York in March, 1984, Bishop Timlin was elected diocesan administrator by the Diocesan Board of Consultors.

Pope John Paul II appointed him the eighth Bishop of Scranton on April 24, 1984, and his installation followed on June 7.

Following his retirement in 2003, Bishop Timlin served as administrator of St. Joseph Parish in Wilkes-Barre for several months. The next year he became rector of Villa St. Joseph in Dunmore, the diocesan residence for retired priests, a position he held until July 11.

Bishop Timlin turned 84 on August 5.
