You run from a moose “There’s three things,” Steve began as we waited for our dinner at Stephani’s Oak Street Grill in Colville, Washington, but as he finished the sentence with “you need to know,” his buddy Jim joined in and said the words right along with him. For a second I wondered if they had rehearsed this routine just for me. The three things, which they also recited in unison, and I will probably never forget, are: You run from a moose. You play dead in front of a grizzly. You fight a black bear. An explanation was needed and they were happy to oblige. A moose, they said, will only come after you if it’s protecting its young. Run away and the moose will be satisfied. You can’t outrun or outfight a grizzly, they went on, but he’s likely to leave you alone if you play dead, so you might as well give it a shot. They seemed to be waiting for me to inquire about the
black bear before they volunteered any more info, so I did. “And the black bear?” I asked. Well, they said, he’s out to eat you. That’s all he wants to do. If you play dead, he’s gonna eat you. If you try to run, he’s gonna catch you and eat you. Your only hope is to fight him. I sat there wondering if I could actually do that and concluded I’d have no choice. But would I survive? Well, that was another matter. I had a feeling these guys would, though, a tussle with a bear and most anything else. It was the same feeling I always had about my dad, and these two reminded me of him – a lot, especially Jim. Shaking hands with him was like shaking hands with a cantaloupe. These two men, however, were not of my dad’s generation, but of mine. He grew up in the ‘30s; they, like me, in the ‘50s. But what clearly connected them to him had nothing to do with when they lived but
where they lived … and, more significantly, how they lived. Where we met them has a lot to do with that. For the record, Colville, the county seat of Stevens County in northeastern Washington, about 40 miles south of Canada and almost the same distance west of Idaho, was not the destination of our recent vacation. Our destination was Kettle Falls, just up the road from Colville. Colville is Kettle Falls’ big city neighbor. It has a population of about 4600. The population of Kettle Falls is, according to the hand-painted sign on the edge of town, “1640 friendly people, and one grouch.” The grouch, we found out, is someone who wins the honor by collecting votes for a quarter apiece. The money goes to charity and the title, which you hold for a year, is considered an honor. For a week I kept thinking they could tack onto that sign “and two delighted visitors” which Mary Kay and I
surely were from August 14 through 20. Kettle Falls is where Mary Kay’s first cousin Patricia (Patti to us) Hrab lives in a log home on 39 acres which she shares with a handful of cattle, a bull, three new calves, two horses, two cats, three dogs and enough chickens to provide fresh eggs every morning. Patti, who was born in Germany where she lived until about 14 years ago, is a real estate agent there – when she’s not cutting and baling 20 acres of hay to feed the animals for the winter. We helped with that and I have the blisters to prove it. When we decided this was the summer we should go to Kettle Falls so I could finally meet Patti I knew we’d be traveling into the “back woods” of America, so to speak. But I didn’t realize we’d also be traveling back in time, and that made all the difference. Patti has no family where she lives so introducing us to her friends Steve and Jim and their
wives was important to her. She had no idea how significant it would be for me. Like Steve and Jim, my dad was a country boy. He was never more comfortable than when in the woods. And, like these fellas, he was a story teller. In their company, as in his, I did a lot more listening than talking. The aforementioned “rules” they told me about did not include coyotes or cougars which are prevalent in those parts. They are best handled with a bullet, I learned, and everyone at the table – not Mary Kay and I, of course, but the gals included – were in the habit of carrying handguns just in case. Steve and Jim talked about how they always took a gun to school back in the day and kept it in their lockers so they could do a little hunting at lunchtime. That made schools a whole lot safer back then, they said with a wink, and I knew exactly what they meant.

building was built between18951905 by Major Kaufman as a dry goods store in what was then the Jewish section of Exeter. Kaufman spoke and wrote Yiddish, Polish and Slavic and immigrants came to him for help with paperwork and to arrange sending money back to the old country. Kaufman sold the building to the Stanley Grico in the 1930s and he turned it into a bar and restaurant which quickly earned a reputation for high quality. The restaurant went through one other owner before Greenfield bought it 25 years ago. Greenfield kept up, and even enhanced, the restaurant’s sterling reputation. She was voted “Best Chef ” by an area publication in 2008. Her tomato sauce won the See GRICO'S, Page 28

n Friday morning, six hours after her legendary Exeter restaurant was ravaged by fire, Grico’s owner and Chef Pat Greenfield paced in the parking lot of the century-old building with one hand on her head and the other holding a cell phone to her ear. At that point she wasn’t sure what she would do about the business. “I’m worried about my employees,” she said between calls. “I’m waiting to talk to my insurance.” Greenfield employed 12 to 15 workers. Greenfield was at home in the apartment over the restaurant when she was awakened by smoke between 2:15 and 2:30 Friday morning. Thinking an oven may have been left on she ran downstairs but saw only smoke. She went back upstairs for her cell phone and called 911. By then smoke was too heavy for her to get back down the stairway so she ran out to her secondfloor porch which overlooks Wyoming Avenue, from where she was rescued by firefighters. “Down a ladder, backwards,” she said. “That was the scariest part because I’m afraid of heights.” The fire started in the basement. The state police fire marshal ruled it accidental caused by an electrical malfunction. Greenfield said the response was great. “There were guys running over before the trucks got here,” she said. “The Red Cross was great. Everybody was great.” Exeter Fire Chief Rich McNeil said though the first trucks were there quickly the fire had already spread to upper floors. Greenfield said most of the interior was destroyed, though the bar survived. “The kitchens are gone,” she said. “The pressed tin ceiling in the bar area looks okay. The back bar which is original to the building in 1935 is intact.” McNeil said the brick building withstood the fire. “Structurally, it looks fine,” he said.

The Tomato Festival’s “Sauce Wars” – where festival-goers blind-tasted tomato sauces from five local restaurants and picked a favorite – had its best year ever. Over 1100 people tasted and voted, a record number according to Michelle Cassetori chair of the wars and a YMCA Board member. Sauce Wars benefits the Y. Tasters paid $1 each. Cassetori said while the wars drew a record high number of votes, she would like to see a lot more. “We had about 1100 voters this year, the most we’ve had so far. It seems to be catching on a little more each year, but we haven’t even scratched the surface of the potential voters. If we could only get them to stop and vote first before they fill up on all their favorite foods, we could bring in more funds for the Y.” The sauces were identified only by a number. The winner was sauce no. 1 which was from Junior’s Pasta House, a restaurant on Broad Street, formerly Café Olivia, owned by Rob Musto. The other local restaurants entered were Napoli’s Pizza, labeled no. 2; Pallazzo 53, no. 3; Parente’s Pizza, no. 4, and Riverstreet Ale House was labeled no 5. Cassetori said some voters wanted to take sauce home. “This year we had numerous requests for to-go containers we couldn’t accommodate them, but that goes to show you how much the festival-goers liked the sauces.” Last year’s winner was Barb Sherinsky for the Moose Lodge. Grico’s won in 2009 Restaurants interested in participating in next year’s Sauce Wars competition can contact Laura Kapalka of the Greater Pittston YMCA at 655-2255.

Sapphire offers chance to be in a music video Shoot originally scheduled for today has been postponed because of hurricane By Alexandria Antonacci
Dispatch Correspondent
Sapphire Salon, on South Main St., Pittston, will be producing a music video featuring beauty and fashion trends created by the makeup teams from both salon locations and anyone who wants to get involved is welcome. According to Angie Morgan salon owner, this event will feature top of the line hair designs, makeup and accessories from The Sapphire Boutique. Producer Becky Sinke will feature each aspect in the music dance setting at the salon in Pittston with a choreographed production. But why does a salon need a music video? “To showcase who we are and what we are,” explained Morgan. The shoot was originally
scheduled for today, but the threat of heavy rain from Hurricane Irene forced a postponement. A new date has not been set but will be announced in next sunday’s Dispatch and on the sapphire website at www.thesapphiresalon.com. The opening scene to the video will be filmed both inside and out, starting ironically with a rainy London scene then transferring to the inside DJ club set. To prepare for this event not only does everything have to be moved but even some painting will be involved to make the salon look like a legitimate nightclub. The most important aspect though is having people in the club. Yes, they will have dancers and models but what they really need are local extras to help fill up the background scene.
“We need them here for support,” expressed Morgan. Extras can be anyone young or old, men or women, clients or non clients as long as they are over 21. All extras will get a gift certificate for the salon and be entered in a contest where two winners will receive a head to toe makeover. “It’s a token of our appreciation,” said Morgan. The video will be for national press and a marketing video for the salon. To participate as an extra, dress nicely and watch the Dispatch and the web for the new date and time. Any questions contact Angie Morgan at 570602-7700 or check out their Facebook page for more information.

Standing on a shredding machine at Nationwide Tire Recycing in Duryea on Friday afternoon, State Representative Mike Carroll ceremonially tossed a tire onto the machine’s conveyor. It was the last of the 650,000 used automobile tires from an 20-foot high, eight-acre tire swamp which had scarred the land off Clark Road for a decade and Carroll was relieved to see it go. “We had the fear of God over this place. A fire here would have been devastating,” Carroll said. Tire swamp fires are notoriously difficult to extinguish and can cause massive pollution and evacuations. And, as the black heat-absorbent tires make perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes, the swamps are health hazards. Before throwing the ceremonial tire, Carroll, Duryea council members and DEP representatives toured the facility and talked with Nationwide representatives. All that remains of the 800,000 tires which were discarded at the site when Hawk Recycling Services owned it are 150,000 truck and heavy equipment tires which are too large for the shredding machine. Nationwide general manager Bud Stephenson said those tires are going to be shipped overseas. Now, he hopes, DEP will give Nationwide a permit to accept tires from outside the facility. Stephenson said Nationwide, which invested over $1 million in

Tire swamp drained, company wants permit for more

shredding equipment, needs the permit to start making money and to prevent the loss 10 fulltime jobs. Duryea Borough council chairwomen Audrey Marcinko said she wrote a letter to DEP on behalf of the borough urging the agency to issue the permit. “Some people have a negative view of Duryea,” Marcinko said. “That’s why we appreciate the action Nationwide has taken here. We want them to get the permit.” Nationwide also removed 100 tons of scrap metal and four 30-
yard dumpsters of garbage from the site. Carroll said he will do what he can to expedite the permit. He said allowing Nationwide to import tires will reduce “wildcat,” or illegal dumping. Chuck Rogers of DEP said the main issue is upping the company’s bonding and once that is resolved the permit could be issued in two to three weeks. Stephenson said that can be done. “It’s a simple fix, we just up the amount per tire.” Stephenson said there are potential customers lining up will-
ing to pay Nationwide to take and shred tires. “We get calls everyday. We need that permit on the wall. We have to get back in business.” The swamp of tires was created because Hawk Recycling never lived up to the second part of its name. Only a small fraction of the tires dumped there were recycled. Joe Hawk was jailed briefly twice for contempt for refusing to clean up the swamp. Finally he was enjoined from accepting any additional tires. But the dumping continued, illegally.
Nationwide, a company with roots in New York and Maryland, bought the old Hawk site and began the clean up in May 2010. The shredded tires are sold to Hercules Cement in Northampton County for kiln fuel. Because there are approximately three quarts of oil in an average discarded vehicle tire they make an excellent fuel with a higher BTU value than coal and lower emissions. Burning TDF was first approved for cement plants in the early 1990s.

FACTS OF LAW
By Dominick P. Pannunzio, Esq. Changes to the Massachusetts Homestead Act will strengthen protection for homeowners from creditor claims. Under the new law, homeowners who don’t have a declared homestead on file at the Registry of Deeds will automatically be covered for up to $125,000. Under the old law, homeowners could get protection for up to $500,000 from seizure to satisfy debts only by filling a declaration of homestead at the Registry of Deeds. What doesn’t change under the new law is that to receive the higher protection a declaration of homestead must still be filed with the Registry of Deeds. A homestead designation protects a homeowner’s principal residence against attachment, seizure, execution on judgement, levy or forced sale for the payments of debts up to the specified limit. Vermont banned televisions and computer screens from landfills several years ago. A new law adds other entertainment, communications and computer-related gear to the list: stereo equipment (including boom boxes and CD/cassette players); telephones (including cell phones, answering machines and fax machines); computers and peripherals (keyboards, modems, mice, external drives, printers, etc.); DVD and VCR players; electronic game consoles and controllers; power cords, chargers and power converters; MP3 players (iPods, etc.); digital converter boxes and satellite dishes; and even electric typewriters.

OUR OPINION
What price safety? While it is the case that under the new four-year contract between the city and the police union, police officers get three percent annual raises and do not have to contribute to their health care, the police made one important concession by agreeing to contribute 2 percent of their annual salaries to the police pension fund. Previously they had contributed a miniscule one-tenth of a percent. The city has three pension plans: police, fire and non-uniform. The fire and the non-uniform are close to fully-funded, but the police plan is under-funded by an alarming 30 percent. To close that gap the city asked the police to contribute more to their pension plan to ease the burden on the taxpayers who are ultimately responsible for funding the plan. As things are, .85 of a mill the city’s real estate tax goes to the police pension fund. Nobody believes that is fair or sustainable. As a starting point in negotiations the city asked for a 5 percent pension contribution. The police negotiators said they couldn’t accept a contribution rate higher than their annual salary increase and eventually the sides settled on a 2 percent contribution. As to salary, patrolmen will get paid $47,397 in 2012 and the 3 percent annual raises will raise their pay to $51,792 in 2015. The pay goes up by rank to $53,729 in 2015 for detective/sergeants. While it is understandable that some residents in a city with a median income of $30,000 might see police salaries of over 50 grand as exorbitant, we believe the city was wise to offer the 3 percent raises and we’re glad the police accepted 3 percent, because by agreeing the city avoided binding arbitration with the FOP (Fraternal Order of Police), which the city almost certainly would have lost. Consider in 2007 when the city went to arbitration to settle their last contract and the arbitrator found in favor of the union forcing the city to pay 3.5 percent annual raises through the life of the four-year contract. The saying is “you can’t fight city hall.” A better saying might be “city hall can’t fight the FOP.” While we agree you cannot put a price on safety, we believe the arbitration system is deeply flawed. Arbitrators routinely rule in favor of the police unions without any regard for the municipalities’’ and the residents’ abilities to pay.

In rhyme writer says the heat of summer will pass Hot Days The dog days of Summer are here, In the North Pole our eyes would tear. Around the country all of us are sweltering, Run indoors, turn on the fans we need sheltering. In a few more months there will be a different talk, Colder temps and a more brisk walk. It’s all part of a phase,
Hot, cold, rainy, icy, less sun, and more haze. Mother nature can amaze you with all of its glory, And sometimes become turbulent, and at times a worry. Make the best of each day, it can be done, Check out all the picnics, what can be more fun? Ronald Voveris Yatesville

Have you seen my chips? She sets a pristine example, and I set one of supreme schlumpness. Shouldn’t I be absorbing her positive nutrition through osmosis? If I thought her positive mojo could be a direct result of some fancy-shmancy, organic fare, then I’d be main-lining prune juice like it was Yoo Hoo. Instead, I yank the Martha Stewart magazine off the shelf and tear-out the flourless chocolate torte recipe, leaving behind the less-happy recipes for a chopped salad consisting of lettuce and air and the avocado and jelly sandwiches, as well as an article on how to make your thighs stop chafing together like two pieces of sandpaper. What the hell? I thought when you’re sad, you eat and when you’re happy, you don’t! It’s backwards for me. I want it to be right-side up. I want to NOT EAT WHEN I’M HAPPY! How can I fix this before it’s too late and I am back to buying pants with Velcro closures or investing in that tried-and-true infomercial jewel: The Perfect Fit Button?! You know – the devise that allows you to e-x-p-a-n-d your pants in the blink of an eye? Or that ingenious phenomenon: Pajama Jeans! This is where I’m heading, people! And here’s the really bizarre thing…I pretend, at night that if I brush and floss my teeth really well…the calories I’ve consumed all day are eradicated! Poof! Just like that. Also – if I eat crap while out-of-town, that doesn’t count, either. If I merrily ingest two sticky buns in State College, for example, it’s like eating a red beet in West Pittston! See how that works? It’s brilliant, really. Oh, Dr. Phil…where are you when I need you? Look…to an outsider looking in, I appear to not be chubby. But (hopefully) you haven’t seen me naked, and I have. Everything is out of place and only I know that the pants I just bought in June left a brutal indentation in the shape of a spatula on my duo-belly, complete with a matching brush burn and a broken zipper. I need to start a new trend of eating healthier. I’m genetically short and stumpy and if I don’t stop this crazy eating, I’ll resemble a Swedish Meatball balanced on two hot dog buns. I want to instead look like a svelte baby dill balanced on two cocktail stirrers. The time has come. Goodbye, Carvel. You’ve been a good friend and I’ll miss you. But it’ll be a treat to button my pants again and become right-side up, where I belong. However, there’s still no way in hell I’m eating an avocado and jelly sandwich. Unless it has youknow-what sprinkled throughout. Rhymes with hood and scenty. Maria Heck provides Dispatch readers with a column to feast on every other week in this space.

Back to school with breakfast Do your children eat breakfast before you send them off to school in the morning? Studies show that children who have breakfast are more alert, involve themselves more fully in the day’s tasks, make fewer visits to the school nurse and are tardy or absent less often. Children who consume a healthy breakfast are not as unfocused, restless, short-tempered or tired as those who skip breakfast. Breakfast also improves children’s concentration and helps them score better on tests thus improving their grades. It’s important for adults to take the time to eat breakfast too! A healthy breakfast can be quick and does not have to be costly. To increase energy levels and keep your child feeling full, try to include a balance between carbohydrates, protein and fats. A breakfast full of sugar will cause a quick spurt in energy followed by symptoms of hunger nearly an hour later. Breakfast should contain at least 3 food groups. A simple breakfast that meets these recommendations may be a serving of whole grain cereal with a glass of reduced fat milk and a small apple. You may be asking, “What if my child doesn’t wake up hungry?” Children who do not wake up hungry may be choosing too many high-fat and high-calorie foods just before bedtime. It is best if children don’t eat snacks just before bed unless their doctor tells them to do so. Try mixing and matching some of these foods to create a healthy breakfast: Cereal with 1 percent milk or nonfat milk Instant oatmeal or cream of wheat Whole-wheat bread, English muffins, pita bread, or bagels Frozen waffles, pancakes, or French toast with applesauce topping Cornbread with applesauce Bran Muffins Peanut butter and banana on whole-wheat bread or crackers Celery with peanut butter Eggs Egg sandwich and fruit 100% Fruit juice, limit to 6 ounces Fresh fruit (try to use a variety of in-season fruits) Low-fat cottage cheese Ricotta cheese on a whole grain toasted bagel Low-fat yogurt with added fruit or granola Try making these breakfast bars ahead of time and use them as a quick, on-the-go breakfast. Even though they do have marshmallows, they also have peanut butter and dry milk for a protein boost and whole grain oats. Serve with low fat milk. Breakfast Bars
6 tbsp margarine 3 cups miniature marshmallows 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/2 cup nonfat dry milk 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1 cup raisins 4 cups whole grain oat circles Spray a 9" x 9" x 2" square pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large saucepan, melt margarine and marshmallows over low heat, See NUTRITION, Page 35

I’ve eaten and I can’t get up. I’m eating like it’s a paying job. Like I’m pregnant. Like I have a tape worm. Like I’m having my last meal before I get the needle. Like…I think you may get the point. Not five minutes ago my daughter caught me disemboweling a Carvel ice cream cake. She stood, arms akimbo, head nodding sadly and lips curled in disgust. “What?” I feigned innocence. “This is my supper! I haven’t eaten in, like, an hour!” She turned on her heel and stalked off. I think it was the fact that I dissected the whole cake through the center, just to dig-out that patented super-duper, crunchy-candy center. Nirvana on a paper plate, with a plastic fork. Yesterday, for dinner, I ate a hamburger, three cobs of corn which I chiseled through like I was winning a prize, baked beans, potato chips, pudding, an ice cream sandwich and a bag of (low fat!) chocolate drizzled popcorn. And, an hour later I was searching again for the chips, because you know you can’t eat just one (pound)…and they were gone! My husband yelled from the other room: “I hid them, John Candy! We need to save some for the kids! ” I sniped: “Yeah well…I’m hiding your underpants and we’ll see how you like that!” He shot back… “I don’t even need to wear underpants…so…” Oh. Ew. Anyway – I never found those damn chips. But thank God for PenMart. A hop, skip and carboload away. At work, I swear I’ll get through my shifts with nothing more than a handful of almonds and a string cheese. I start at noon and by 1:00 I’ve cleaned-out a crate of almonds and an eraser that looked like an almond. I sniff around that library praying someone left a few jellybeans in the NonFiction section. Poor Cheryl, my co-worker. She brought in a huge box of Good N’ Plenty yesterday. She said “Here’s our treat for the week.” While she was shelving the new book; “How to Dress 15 Pounds Thinner,” I tipped the box directly into my open mouth. There was plenty. And they were good. Cheryl is too much of a lady to call me out on my siphoning, but she did say, at about 4:00, “Your teeth are black. Almost like you ate a whole box of Good N’ Plenty.” Sigh. Sorry Cheryl. Next week is Hot Tamale week and I’ll buy. Our director, Anne, is ridiculously fit. She’s a yoga instructor and a follower of some torture-chamber exercise class that’s apparently used to train all kinds of armed forces operatives. So, imagine how I feel when I’m sneaking around the library clutching my mid-afternoon snack of Fiddle Faddle and she’s noshing on a celery stick dipped in hummus.

Tomato Fest one of the best Downtown construction not much of an obstacle to Pittston Tomato Festival success By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
T
he vendors’ ovens, fryers and hot tables hadn’t yet cooled last Sunday as the 28th Tomato Festival wound down and the festival committee was already looking toward next year. “Sunday we talked about improvements for next year,” said festival co-chair Lori Nocito. “We hope to put the rides on the level above in the area behind library. We’d also like to have a secondary stage up there to highlight young performers. We have to do it right. We have to work with the city and move forward together.”
Improving the upper level would require electrical work and landscaping. Using the upper lot for rides and games would make room along the main runway and in the lower area for more food vendors. Nocito said there is a waiting list for food vendors. As to the 2011 festival Nocito indicated anecdotally vendors said it was good year despite the sewer and streetscape work. “We are overall very happy the way things went considering obstacles,” she said. “We thank city for getting the lot ready for us.” Jane Sabatelle, a veteran vendor, was thrilled with the business at her booth where chicketta See FESTIVAL, Page 37

Peeking into the past
Question #1 Joseph Thomas Jr. of Avoca was in good company. He and 6 other gentlemen, Harry E. Caines, Olyphant, Ronald C. With Judy Minsavage MacDonald, William Bennie, Karl Thomas, William Schrader of Moosic and Alfred Shafer of Oliver (UCA) to teach skills to cheerleaders Mills, were honored for their combined around the United States.

What era of cheerleading began. According to dangerous product did these gentlemen cheerunion.org, the first sporting event manufacture? to witness the birth of cheerleading was 1964 – 47 Years Ago Phil Adonizio saved Louis DeGrose and Joe Testa of Pittston from making a mistake. John Musto wanted to donate a flagpole from an old school building his business occupied to the Pittston Panther’s Booster Club. Louis and Joe showed up at the Wilson School and prepared to lower the newly painted flagpole and reinstall it at their new field. Just as the two men were ready to lower the pole, Adonizio showed up and asked, “What are you doing?” to which the two men said, “Getting the flagpole.” Adonizio informed Louis and Joe they had the wrong building. The building Musto was talking about was the abandoned school building in Browntown. After three years of trying to secure a site, Ernest Nicholson, president of the Exeter Park Playground Association, finally received a deed for Wilson Street land donated by George Ruckno. Mel Hughes, Robert Davis, Edward Sadowski Carol Lumley, Michael Danko, Martha Sadowski, Ann Marie Casterline and Pat Novitski planned to move forward to develop the park, which called for the construction of a 120’ by 300’ building and playground equipment.
1984 – 27 Years Ago A Pittston Area teacher strike was looming as offers and counteroffers were placed on the table just days away from the opening of the 1984-85 school year. Originally the board offered yearly salary increases of $1,200, $1,300 and $1,400 per year for the next three years, but the union did not like the across the
Question #2 Who were the winners of the first Little Miss/Mr Tomato contest? 1994 – 17 Years Ago Starting in 1964, the Ladies of UNICO sponsored a special project every year for the benefit of the Wyoming Valley Children’s Association. Colette M. Orlando, Norma Ruggere, Carmaleta Maira, Caroline Simmonetti, Mary Schifano, Margaret Piledggi, Sue Ferrara, Nancy Guinta, Delores D’Elia, Margaret Mirsola, Sophie Recupero, Helen Brigido and Mary D’Elia presented a check to Bernard Kolodziej Executive Director of the Children’s Association. For the past
several years, the ladies have sold Entertainment Books to benefit the WVCA. Members of the Quality Beverage/ Rolling Rock softball team Drew Whyte, Gary Mack, Lou Lussi, Phil Semenza, Gary Slick, Mike Lavelle, Jeff Malloy, Joe Remus, Terry Ernst, Denny Horsefield, Kenny Spangenberg, Jim Hunger and Jerry Ranielli received a plaque for taking second place in the Pennsylvania over 35 Major Softball State Tournament. 2004 - 7 Years Ago 2004 was the first year for the Wyoming Area girl’s field hockey team. Coach Kim Chipego coached a team at Valley West prior to coming to Wyoming and was unfamiliar with the rivalry of Pittston Area and Wyoming Area. She and teammates Samantha Shumlas, Stephanie Zielinski, Nicole Spak, Stephanie Sarti, Christina Kolmansberger Sarah Zielinski, Liz Golden, Jessica Murray, Melissa Anderson, Nicole Shulde, Aine Thomas, and Katrina Alba looked forward to playing Pittston Area. After 36 years in Jenkins Township, the Techneglas Plant closed leaving about 670 people unemployed. The plant, which once employed about 3,400 people, began shutting down operations in 2,000 citing foreign competition and loss of demand for their products. Answer #1 E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company more commonly referred to as DuPont, is an American chemical company founded in July 1802 as a gunpowder mill by Eleuthère Irénée du Pont. By the mid 19th century, DuPont had become the largest supplier of gunpowder to the United States military. Answer #2 Tomato Festival Chairman Ken Scaz presiding over the first Tomato Festival held in Pittston in August of 1984, congratulated Lori Castiglione, 3, and Michael Perry, 3, both of Pittston, after being named Little Miss and Little Mr Tomato. Kathy Argenio of Pittston Township was chosen Miss Greater Pittston Tomato. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. - Carl Jung

1974 – 37 Years Ago The St John’s High School cheerleaders took first place at the National Cheerleading Clinic in Pittston. Judy Frank took second place in individual competition Cheryl Roman took third. Members of the championship team were Tina Blasi, Anna Rose Mulcahy, Sharon Manganiello, Ellen Gavigan, Cathy O’Malley, Margie Gavigan, Susan Russick, Sherry Booth, Mary Gallagher, Renee Vennarucci, Calley Dommermuth and Patty Smith. In 1974, Jeff Webb General Manager and Vice President of NCA founded the Universal Cheerleaders Association
held in 1869 between Princeton and Rutgers Universities. The Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce set a goal of 700 for their 1974 membership drive. With all teams reporting, new members and renewals reached 803. High team captained by Thomas Reilly included Bernard Borr, Attorney Thomas Burke, Jr., Dr. Richard E. Colarusso, Floyd Evans, Attorney Jarrett W. Jennings, Albert B. Melone Sr., Samuel Milazzo and Howard Renfer. Leonard Tabone and Paul Clapps headed second place teams. The Greater Pittston Chamber was incorporated in June of 1920 current officers of the chamber included Charles A. Adonizio III, President; Executive Vice President, Rosemary Dessoye; First Vice President Joseph D. Burke, Esq; Second Vice President, Jerry A. Champi, Third Vice President, Patricia F. Stella; Treasurer, Mark Nobile. Rosalie Petonak, Carrie DeLeo, Diane Pribula, Corinne Caparoni, Ann Farrell, Mary Alice Saitta, Janet Lumley, Catherine Newhart, Irene Smith, Rose Roback, Bernice Clapps, Carole Cameli and Marge Brozzoski were in a league of their own. The Exeter Park Volunteer Hose Company Ladies Auxiliary Softball Team was set to play their very first game as a team against Bell Telephone at the Exeter Little League stadium.

board package. The board came back with a $1,300, $1,500 and $1,600 offer. The union retaliated with a $1,500, $1,700, and $1,900 demand. Negotiations fell apart. An agreement was met before the scheduled first day of class. Pittston Township resident and county GOP Chairman Pat Solano missed the old days when John Kehoe, publisher of the Sunday Dispatch, held the annual “Kehoe Clambake”. Attended by hundreds of Greater Pittston residents, the event hosted a Pennsylvania governor on occasion. Pat decided to initiate an OldTimer’s Day event at his home in the tradition of the Kehoe extravaganza. On August 27 of 1984, President Reagan announced the teacher in space project. The Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked, “Do you agree with President Reagan’s decision to send a teacher into space?” Paul Yonki of West Pittston answered, “I say let somebody from the rank and file be the first.” John Valenti of Duryea added, “It would be an excellent learning experience.” Mary Ann Switzer of Exeter said, “I think a teacher should go, but it has to be woman teacher.” Ruth Oliveri of Exeter answered, “Sending a teacher is an excellent idea.” According to teachersinspace.org, more than 11,000 teachers applied to be the first private citizen to fly into space. Finally, in July of 1985, NASA chose New Hampshire teacher Christa McAuliffe to be the first “Teacher in Space” and Idaho teacher Barbara Morgan as her backup. On January 28, 1986, a flaw in the Shuttle Challenger’s solid rocket booster caused the vehicle to break up just 73 seconds into flight. The seven crew members, including McAuliffe, perished. In August of 2007, Barbara Morgan finally made it.

8th grader shines on Tomato Festival stage At only 13, Jordan Tarter writes and performs original music By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Jordan Tarter isn’t usually nervous on stage. But Saturday night during the Tomato Festival was an exception. “I was nervous,” the 13-yearold aspiring actress and singersongwriter said, “because it was the first time performing my songs.” Opening for Flaxy Morgan that night on the band shell, Jordan, a Pittston Area eighth grader, played guitar and sang two original songs during her 20minute set. The audience helped ease her nervousness. “I had so much support there it was crazy,” she said. “I’d look to my left and see my friends.” Her friends from school and the KISS Theatre Co. held up signs declaring their love and support. Her family was there, too. She dedicated a song to her father whose birthday was the previous day. If Jordan was nervous, Alexandra Antonacci, who was there shooting photographs, didn’t notice it. “She was great,” Antonacci said. “She was so calm on stage. She interacted with the crowd well. She seemed like a pro and she’s only 13.” Gene Smith, who was working the soundboard for Rock Street Music, was impressed. “She’s very good,” she said. “She’s a young upcoming talent. If she keeps working hard she’ll get better and better. She had some

good stagemanship. She wasn’t afraid to talk to the people. She’s got that country-pop style that kids are into right now. She’s got her own originals which is really cool.” Her original songs, which she does describe as country/pop with a Taylor Swift vibe, were so fresh they had been completed only a week or so before the fes-

tival. Since then she’s also wrapped up a third song which she calls “Collide.” Her first two originals, which she performed at the festival, are “Like You Used To” and “Good-bye.” Jordan describes her songs as “normal relationships songs,” though she admits as she’s only 13 relationships aren’t something she knows a whole lot about. Jordan has been singing for as long as she remembers. Her mother, Tiffany, who doubles as mom and promoter, said Jordan first performed on stage when she was in first grade and they lived in Oregon. She sang a Hillary Duff song at a school talent show. “She had confidence at seven,” Tiffany said. “I knew then she’d be perfect for the stage.” As Jordan walked off the stage that day seven years ago in Oregon, she heard her teacher say, “She’s going to go somewhere, some day.” Jordan has been motivated by those words ever since. Among Jordan’s musical influences are Taylor Swift, Lady

Antebellum, Bruno Mars, and Pink. She said her songs start as ideas for lyrics and titles. She writes them down as they come to her and then picks up her guitar to create the music. Sometimes the chords and melodies just come to her. Other times she said, “I mess around with my guitar and come up with something.” See SHINES, Page 31

Exeter Park Volunteer Hose Company and West Wyoming Hose Company #1 held a formal signing ceremony on Saturday, Aug. 20, to mark officially the merger of the two volunteer fire companies. “Exeter Park has a proud history, and we are deeply grateful to our friends and neighbors for supporting us through the years,” said Joseph Gutowski, Exeter Park President. “The financial reality of the past few years is that we have been using our savings to keep pace with the day-to day expenses of operating the fire department. This was not a long-term solution, and it led us to conclude more than a year ago that merging with another company would be our best option.” “Every volunteer fire company is faced with financial challenges and having too few trained firefighters to meet call volume,” said Matthew Granteed Sr. West Wyoming Hose Co. #1 Fire Chief. “We think mergers are inevitable, and our merger with Exeter Park will dramatically increase the number of highly trained firefighters who can respond to calls in West Wyoming and our mutual aid communities.” The merged companies will operate under the charter of West Wyoming Hose Co. #1from one

how to dive,” said Lukatch. “How little was I? I don’t even remember. I remember going in there and with my sister. My mom took us there to learn how to swim. That’s how we first got involved,” said Lukatch. His family spent lots of time there having birthday parties and going to lessons. “A lot of the memories were of the sights and the sounds of being in the pool and that kind of stuff as a little kid. There was so much activity going on different classes, kids jumping in and that kind of stuff,” said Lukatch. His positive memories are probably what led him back to the Y as an adult, although this wasn’t his first job that has had quite the same mission. As Director of Development for the Wyoming Valley Children’s Association he was responsible for marketing and fundraising for their organization. “One of the biggest components of an executive director or any non profit is fundraising so you have to know how to do that in order to be in the community and ask for money. Because obviously we survive by donations,” explained Lukatch. He is also a self-proclaimed gym enthusiast, who teaches spinning and boxing classes at the Hazleton health and wellness center. “Since I haven’t officially started yet (as the Y’s new Exec-

Bill and Marie Gladish of Pittston were regular patrons. “I’m very upset,” Marie said. “We ate there a couple times a month, sometimes more.” Her husband Bill hopes this isn’t the end for Grico’s. “I hope she rebuilds,” he said. “It’s a landmark.” Michael Clark – a Pittston native who lives in the D.C. area but visits here several times a year – said he’s been going to Grico’s for 50 years or more. “It was a big time class place. There weren’t many like it. In the 1960s
utive Director) I’ve actually been working out here and getting a sense of what this place is like,” said Lukatch. He has no idea if Y members are going to be shocked to see him swimming in the pool or working out in the gym often. “I’m planning to do that because I believe in being accessible to the members and everyone in the community so that if they need something that’s what I’m here for. I’m here to listen to them to talk with them to be with them,” said Lukatch. He explained that every Y is different, some smaller others larger but he personally thought the Pittston one was a nice size for the community. Although it’s a good size he still has a game plan for some improvements in the near future. From cosmetic updates to the reception desk and locker rooms to the addition of more air conditioners, Y members have a lot to look forward to. “There are some things that we want to improve upon and hopefully we will have the community’s support to do that,” said Lukatch. The three aspects the Y staff works on are youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. It’s beyond being a pool and gymnasium, more than a community center and pool … they strengthen families and individuals. “My goal is to make this again the center, the beacon of this community I mean that’s what the Y is and what it stands for. I think it has been that here but it you were kind of somebody if you ate there regularly. It was a romantic place. Everybody loved the booths with the curtains.” The restaurant was famous for its booths for two to four people which were draped for privacy. Exeter Mayor Cassandra Coleman heard the news on early morning TV. “It’s a shock. Pat is a wonderful, wonderful person. Whenever I went to her for anything for the community like my grandfather’s softball tournament she always helped out. Grico’s has been a staple of Exeter for years. I hope she can rebuild.” Firefighters from Exeter, Germania, Hughestown, Kingston, Pittston City, Pittston Township, Swoyersville and Wyoming responded.
can only be strengthened at this point, we can only make it better,” said Lukatch. The repeating message the Y offers is they are a family, they
accept individuals, couples, from young and old to families of 4 or 5, everyone’s accepted. “I want to have that open door policy,” Lukatch said. “I want ev-
eryone to stop by. I’m welcome to see anybody. I want the community to come up and introduce themselves. So I’m hoping that people come by and visit us.”

Patriots’ new coach has new attitude in place By Josh Horton

Dispatch Correspondent
After going winless in 2010, there is a new excitement surrounding the Pittston Area football team, and it all stems from the positive aura projecting from the attitude and style of new head coach Mike Barrett. Barrett has started from scratch with the Patriots, teaching the basics of fundamental football which he and his staff
have stressed since taking over in January. “With that senior leadership and the offensive line that we have coming back, were taking a fundamental approach to it and we want to be able to run the football,” Barrett said. “We are going to try and keep it as basic as possible and with the guys we have coming back and our decent size up front, we should be able to move the ball up front.” The decent size up front Bar-

The quartet of returning linemen average 6’0, 250 and will give the Patriots a formidable front on both side of the ball. Ameen is the biggest of the group standing 6’3 and while be listed at 300 pounds That group will be blocking for this year’s starting quarterback, senior Anthony Schwab. Barrett plans on sticking with
Schwab rather than taking the two-quarterback route the Patriots have used the past few years. Although the former Valley View and Mid Valley assistant was excited about the progress of freshman Kyle Gattuso who will serve as Schwab’s backup. “They did that last year,” Barrett said of a two-quarterback system. “It’s been my experience, when I played we had two quarterbacks and I just don’t think you can develop any conti-
nuity or consistency there. We’re going to be a one-quarterback team, although we may throw a wrinkle in here or there. “(Gattuso) has really been outstanding in the off-season. He has surprised me. He has been very, very mature for a ninth grader.” The Patriots will feature a mixture of different players in the backfield with senior Evan See HOUSEMAN, Page 59

Matt Flynn and Deedra Porfirio ran to easy victories in the Pittston Tomato Festival 5K Run last Saturday. Both winners – former Pittston Area High School runners - trailed early in the race, but took charge shortly after the first mile. Flynn, 25, of Media, broke the tape in 16 minutes and 18 seconds. Shavertown’s Sean Robbins, 41, who recently won the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon, finished second, 44 seconds behind Flynn. “It went pretty well,” said Flynn. “I trailed over the first mile. Then at the one-mile marker, I felt good. So I decided to go for it. I took off and built a pretty good lead. Once I put some distance between myself and the rest of the field, I settled into a nice pace to the finish.” Porfirio won the female division of the 5K with a 10thplace finish overall in 19:27. The 34-year-old from West Pittston outran second-place finisher, Catherine Lombardo, 16, of Pittston, by 28 seconds. “There were a bunch of runners ahead of me early in the race,” said Porfirio. “I passed them. And at one-mile, I was in front. But I knew someone was right behind me. I just kept up my pace for a while. But I wasn’t able to settle into a comfortable pace. And with (Lombardo) right behind me, I had to keep pushing. I wasn’t sure what kind of lead I had after that, so I just kept pushing.” Lombardo, who will be a junior this fall at Pittston Area where she runs track and cross country, said that Porfirio actually pulled ahead of her quite substantially somewhere between miles one and two. Porfirio has been suffering from an ankle injury. But you wouldn’t know it by her per-

Warriors’ opponents will be asking, ‘Where’s Waldo?’ By Josh Horton
PAGE 48
Dispatch Correspondent
Wyoming Area head football coach Randy Spencer is both excited, and anxious to take the field on Friday nights this fall. “We have a lot of guys coming back. It’s not like they haven’t been on the field,” Spencer said. “They just have been in roles and now those roles are going to have to expand and they have to become more intricate and fulltime players.” The Warriors return an abundance of players on both sides of the ball, including superstar Nick O’Brien. Spencer plans to focus his offense around the 5’9, 150-pound junior. Last year he had great success in the backfield, rushing for 1,018 yards and 17 touchdowns. However, this year you will have to look a little harder if you want to find him when the Warriors huddle breaks. O’Brien is also a threat to catch the ball, hauling in 10 passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns as a sophomore, and throwing the rock as well as he completed three passes for 54 yards and a score. That versatility will allow Spencer to use O’Brien at varying positions on the offensive side of the ball. “Whether it’s wildcat or at quarterback, O’Brien is somebody you will find in the slot, in the backfield, under center and in the shotgun,” Spencer said of his featured player. “The question will be like, ‘Where is Waldo?’ You’re going to have to find him.” The Warriors do return more than just O’Brien. They return many players on both sides of the ball. However, they did lose some key players. Spencer expects to explore his

options at the quarterback position this fall. The Warriors lost last year’s starting quarterback Chris Murphy. However, this year Spencer will look towards O’Brien and junior Jordan Zezza. Both are expected to see some time under center. “We have a young guy coming up in Jordan Zezza who we think is going to be pretty good,” Spencer said. “We have a lot of flexibility to be able to do what we want and move the ball around.” In addition to O’Brien, Matt Kintz returns for his fourth and final year in the Warriors back-
field along with Corey Popovich. There will also be a mixture of Ahmad Bouie, Zack LaNunziata, Justin Langdon and Cody Schmitz in the backfield at times as well. Kintz and Popovich combined to rush for just under 450 yards and three scores. As for receivers, Spencer plans to use some of the same guys from the backfield. On the outside the Warriors will use senior Joe Adonizio at receiver and fill in the gaps with LaNunziata, Schmitz, Langdon and Bouie. They will do their best to replace Kody Nowicki,
Eric Eramo and Larry Popovich. All three graduated following their 200-yard plus seasons last fall. “Offensively we need to come off the ball with heavy hands and move people off the football,” Spencer said. “We just have to focus on execution. We need to stay away from things that get in the way.” The Warriors bring back half of their defense from last season. Nick Bartoli, Carl Zielinski and Joe Erzar are returning on the defensive line and Matt Kintz and Popovich return as linebackers.
EJ Driving Hawk, Trent Grove, Bobby Burton and Jake Smith will all see time at defensive end for Wyoming Area. Kintz was the third leading tackler last season as a junior with 59 stops. O’Brien added 52 tackles, and Bartoli added 35. The secondary will feature LaNunziata, Schmitz, and Adonizio - all should see time at the corners and safety positions. “We are going to be able to run well, especially defensively,” Spencer said. “We aren’t excepSee RELOAD, Page 59

Both audio and video will be broadcast by accessing the link, www.wyomingareafootball.org/ broadcast.html or just visiting Wyoming Area Football’s home pagewww.wyomingareafootball.org.
The project is being supported by the Wyoming Area Football Parents Association and will benefit fans that are unable to attend the game in person. Individuals will have the ability to access the broadcast through their home computer, or on a mobile broadband device. The broadcast system has been
tested on several scrimmages and most of the technical issues have been identified and resolved. The quality of the audio is very good. The video quality will not be what people area ccustomed to viewing when watching games on network TV. However, the technical team is looking at ways to improve the broadcast.
Nick Perugini and Ron Musto will announce the games from the press box. Fans will also be able to “chat” with the announcers. As the game is being called, the announcers will receive messages from fans that may be answered during the broadcast. If successful, the broadcast team may look for commercial sponsorship that will ben-
efit the Wyoming Area Football Program. The Warriors open their regular season at home, Friday night, September 2 vs. Western Wayne. The broadcast will come on the air at 6:30,ahalfhourbeforegametime. Questions regarding this project can be directed to Nick Perugini at nperuginI@aol.com

Argust, a senior, caught 20 balls for almost 200 yards and one touchdown last season, and Vieira, a junior, chipped in with five catches for almost 100 yards but was also the top return man for Old Forge with 15 kickoff returns for 208 yards. Carey will be the X-factor for the Blue Devils. After taking few reps under center in passing situations last season, the fleetfooted 6’3 senior did run for 224 yards on just 27 carries while scoring three
touchdowns out of the Old Forge spreadset. “We aren’t going to be a straight I(formation) team all of the time,” said Schuback. “Carey does such a great job spreading the field and making it work to our advantage with the skill kids we have. I think it’s going to dictate how many kids teams are going to be able to put in the box, and that is going to make it easier on the kids up front than in the past.” The players up front for Old Forge will include three sophomores in a rotation of six players as the season begins for See TROTTA, Page 54

Four years ago Old Forge Head Football Coach Mike Schuback penciled in three sophomore offensive linemen on a team that featured skill players that were about to come into their own. That team went on to win seven games and make the District 2 playoffs. This year, Schuback will do the same. Only this time he expects the Blue Devils to be even better. “I made this statement before doubles, and I am going to stand with it. If we do not make the district championship game, it’s going to be disappointing,”
said Schuback who enters his 10th season at the helm of his Alma Mater. “We are at make or break right now. With the skill kids we have and the three-year seniors we have around (we are at that point). Even though they weren’t big names for the past two years, we feel we know each other well enough, and know the other teams well enough, that we should be successful.” The skill players Schuback refers to are running backs Lou Febbo and Brian “Bubba” Tomasetti, wide receivers Dave Argust and Michael Vieira, and quarterback Colin Carey.

Both Argonish and Surridge struggled off the tee and with their second and third shots on the final hole. But after a solid chip and one putt, Surridge was in with a double bogey while Argonish faced a eight-foot downward putt from behind the hole to tie the Vikings No. 3 golfer. Argonish solidly struck the ball which hit the back of the cup, bounced up, landed on the back of the lip and fell in for the individual win and a 3-1 Old Forge lead. Nemetz couldn’t get past Vishnesky on the final hole, but his 10footer for bogey halved the betterball match and gave the Blue Devils a half-point and a 3.5-2.5 lead with the final group teeing off at No. 9. The win by Argonish clinched the victory for Old Forge (1-0-1) because the final group of Adam Barsigian and AJ Cantarella had already clinched 1.5 points before heading to the ninth tee. Barsigian split his individual match with Mike King, and Cantarella, a freshman, beat Adam Leasure, 2-up, for his first career win. Barsigian and Cantarella also one the better-ball match, 1-up.

The opportunity was there for Old Forge’s J Argonish and Corey Palma to give away three points, and most likely the match against arch-rival Riverside on Wednesday morning at Pine Hill Country Club in Taylor. But instead, the senior duo drilled putts on both the eighth and ninth holes to solidify individual victories and a better-ball point, to give the Blue Devils a gut-wrenching, 6-3, win over the Vikings. Playing separately, both golfers led by two holes early in their respective matches. But Nico Munley evened things up against Palma heading to the Par 5, 470-yard No. 8, and Argonish clung to a 1up advantage against Cole Surridge as both teed off on the same hole. Palma scrambled for a par on the eighth, leaving no doubt on his par putt with Munley already in with a par to keep the match even headed to the final hole. The three-year starter then launched his drive on the Par 4, 315-yard No. 9 less than 20 yards from the green before chipping within 15 feet of the cup. Munley’s drive was less than 40 yards from the green, but the sophomore chipped short of the green before reaching on his third shot. But Palma drained his birdie putt before Munley parred the hole to take one point in his individual match, and one point for better-ball of partners between himself and partner Jordan Ohler and Riverside’s Munley and Carl Pugliese. Pugliese beat Ohler, 3 and 2, to keep the Vikings within 2-1 after the first group of play. The first group had already finished when Argonish and playing partner Ian Nemetz had reached the eighth green with Riverside’s Cole Surridge and Jaron Vishnesky. Argonish steadily made the exact putt Palma did on No. 8 – a pin-high, eight footer – to halve the hole with Surridge and remain 1-up heading to No. 9. Nemetz meanwhile lagged a 20-footer from above the hole to within two feet to finish with a bogey to halve the hole with Vishnesky and keep

Lady Patriots, Lady Warriors rarin’ to go Both PA and WA ready to take next step Dispatch Staff Reports
The 2011 high school tennis campaign is 24-hours away from getting underway – and both Pittston Area and Wyoming Area are rarin’ to go. Pittston Area coach, Kim Collins, in her seventh-year as head coach, and Wyoming Area coach, Tony Callaio are optimistic for this year’s season. Both teams are looking to improve upon last year’s records. The Lady Patriots open up with GAR at home tomorrow, and Wyoming Area will begin their season against Crestwood, also at home. Pittston Area’s squad consists of 11 players headed by four seniors. Those seniors are, Anna Podrasky, Ali Quinn, Caitlynn Cadwalder, and an injured Danielle Corcoran. Podrasky will be used in the No.1 slot as she was last year, and juniors Miranda Warunek and Alicia Chopyak will play second and third singles, respectively. The rest of the team consists of sophomores Haleigh Zurek, Tatianna Supinski, and Rosie Ritsick, and freshmen Mikhaela Moher and Claudia Shandra. Ali Quinn and Haleigh Zurek will start in the No.1 doubles spot, but according to Coach Collins, No.2 doubles is up for grabs. “We lost three girls to graduation but all are returning with the exception of the two new freshmen,” said Collins. Not only is Coach Collins looking to better last season’s record, she’s in a great position to build upon the team for next year. Collins lists Wyoming Seminary, Dallas and Wyoming Valley West as the top teams they will face this year. Fourth-year head coach Tony
Callaio is a bit more optimistic going into this year’s schedule after fielding a team without a senior last year. That means going into 2011, he will have six-seniors on the team making up half the roster. “I’m hoping the seniors can get their game together and make a dent in the schedule,” said Callaio. “Most of the veterans have at least three years of tennis under their belt, so it’s up to them if they want to have a successful year or not.” Those six-seniors are Brina Platt, Nikole Dougherty, Alex Romano, Alecia Pizano, Emily Lukasavage, and Morgan Bilbow. Valerie Bott has been playing in the No.1 spot for the last two-seasons and will be looking to regain that spot for this season. However she sustained a knee injury this past spring and is doing her best to bounce back. Joining Bott will be Platt, Lukasavage, and junior Lisa Chihorek vying for singles positions. “All three singles position are up for grabs,” noted Callaio. “All four girls are pretty much level with each other at this point.” Doubles specialists Alex Romano and Alicia Pizano will be back for their third-year while Morgan Bilbow, Nikole Dougherty and sophomore Julia Gober will battle for a spot playing doubles. Sophomore Britney Benkoski, and freshmen Julia Banas and Madeleine Ambruso are firstyear players and novices that are showing improvement every day. “The sport is difficult as it is, so it’s great to see these young ladies making an effort daily to learn the game and improve,” added Callaio. The schools will face each other on Friday, September16 at Mattei Middle School Courts in Hughestown.

the Blue Devils. But that is not to say Old Forge is totally inexperienced on the offensive line. Senior Anthony Trotta, a 5’10, 220-pound guard/tackle, returns after starting every game at right tackle as a junior. Trotta begins the season as the right tackle as the Blue Devils await 6’2, 220-pound sophomore Ryan Paulish to return from an off-season knee injury. When Paulish returns, Trotta is likely to move to left guard to give the Blue Devils another athletic pulling guard. Anthony Conforti, a 5’11, 205 senior is battling with senior Cory Stuart – who moves from tight end – for the left tackle spot. Conforti can also slide down to guard, while Trotta could also see time at left tackle depending on the development of two other sophomores. Paul Papi, 6’0, 190, will play right guard, and Joey Bruno, 6’2, 200 will serve as the top backup at guard and center. Senior Nick Nally is also in the mix at guard. Tyler Clark, a 5’11, 220-pound junior, will start at center, and can also play guard.
“We see tons of comparisons (to the group of young linemen four years ago), but not to offend anyone, this group is more athletic,” said Schuback whose teams have won 68 games in his nine seasons. “Paul and Joey are big kids that mirror what Kyle (Holland) and AJ (Grasso) brought to the table, and the toughness that Stuart, Conforti, and Tyler bring, reminds me a lot of Mark (Zambetti). “We are more adaptive upfront though with guys who can play a bunch of positions, which is kind of unique and will work to our advantage. With Febbo and Tomasetti back there, any little hole and they are going to exploit it.” Joey Ciuccio, a 5’11, 190pound senior will play fullback with sophomore Jorden Sekol serving as his backup. Junior Anthony DeSando returns at tight end after starting the second half of the season as a sophomore. Transfer Brenden Wahl, a 5’10, 165-pound junior will serve as the backup quarterback, and juniors Anthony Piccolini and Elijah Wilson add depth to the receiving corps.
Defensively, Trotta, Stuart and Ciuccio will anchor the defense. The three seniors are the only returning starters among the front seven in the Blue Devils 4-4 scheme. Trotta racked up 94 tackles to lead the team from his inside linebacker position, while Stuart and Ciuccio combined for 50 tackles and six sacks from their defensive end positions. Old Forge will also be experienced at both cornerback spots with Argust, Tomasetti and Vieira set to rotate at the position. Sophomore Jake Manetti has earned the nod at safety with Argust providing depth. Conforti will man the other inside linebacker spot after seeing time inside as a junior. Febbo and senior Ryan Cadwalder are set to start at outside linebacker, leaving the only holes to fill at tackle for the Big Blue Wrecking Crew. DeSando and Clark are set to start at defensive tackle with junior David “Rudy” Rudalavage, 5’10, 200-pounds, Bruno and Paulish in the rotation. DeSando can also play defensive end, as will Papi and sophomore Paul Piemontese.
“We have both our ends back and we have great experience inside,” said Schuback. “Conforti had a good season last year in a backup role, and Trotta is obviously going to be solid for us. We return somewhat the heart of our defense in a sense, but the key is going to be upfront.” Sekol and Nally will back up Trotta and Conforti at inside linebacker, and junior Warren Welsh and sophomore Shane Schuback will back up Febbo and Cadwalder on the outside. Junior Matt Mancuso returns for his second season as the Blue Devils kicker after converting 32-of-34 extra points in his first season on the gridiron. Argust will serve as the Old Forge punter after posting a 31.0-yard per punt average last season. The return of an experienced core with a group of talented, athletic underclassmen has Schuback excited for the beginning of the 2011 season. “Our skill kids are the strength of our football team. They really are talented,” said Schuback. “And our sophomore class is going to be a big

plus for us. They are very athletic and give us a big lift. Our junior class is a little unseen, unheard, but makes up a lot of our skill group.” At the same time, Schuback is aware the Blue Devils are a bit under the radar in the Lackawanna Football Conference Division III. “I think every game is going to be difficult. Playing on the road at Holy Cross on a Saturday, Montrose has a young staff that will energize the program, Trail is loaded, and what Susquehanna did to us last year to end the year motivates us,” said Schuback. “It is good no one is talking about us. It gives our kids a sense of, ‘Hey. That’s good. Don’t give us the attention.’ “But like a couple years ago, we had three guys who people knew about, and the others no one knew about - blue collar kids who just worked hard and got the job done. This team has more skill than that team though, so I am really optimistic.” Old Forge opens the season at home Friday night against Lake-Lehman at 7 p.m.

Versatile relievers WWWE ‘C’ Team wins opener solid for SWB By Tommy Romanelli
Special to The Dispatch
T
his has been a season of roster craziness for the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees and with September callups on their way; the roster isn’t getting any more consistent. This is true for any Triple-A team. There are always players coming up and going down trying to prove themselves ready for the big leagues or out of necessity. Because of this, the SWB Yankees are happy to have a couple of consistent and valuable arms in their bullpen. Pitchers going up and down, getting hurt or games just being rained out have caused the team to be put in a pinch about what to do with their team. When those times have occurred though, it has been Lance Pendleton and George Kontos to the rescue. When you think of long relievers, you think of some of the least talented pitchers on the team or just a guy that a team can throw out there to eat up innings when the score deficit is high. That is not the case with these guys. If the SWB Yankees need someone to start a game, to come in after a pitcher gives up a lot of runs, or even close a game out, Manager Dave Miley hasn’t hesitated to go to Pendleton or Kontos. Kontos has been the better Triple-A pitcher of the two. He has pitched to a 4-4 record with a sparkling 2.73 ERA. Kontos has pitched 87 innings and started four games. You can’t ask for better numbers out a “long reliever.” I really like Kontos because of the number of go-to pitches he has. He relies mostly on his slider to get hitters out, which is easily his best pitch, because he can throw it for a strike in any count. Kontos has been slowed down in the past because of an arm injury but I believe he is fully recovered. I also think that it was the best thing that happened to his career. When Kontos came back from his injury his velocity was way down which forced him to learn how to become more of a pitcher. Now, Kontos has his velocity back up and it goes very nicely with his new found control. Lance Pendleton is a different story. Pendleton’s numbers aren’t as good as Kontos’ but he is still solid. He has a 3-4 record, 3.15 ERA, 65.2 innings pitched, and ten games started. Pendleton relies on his control, which is good. It gets the job done and done well. Many of you may remember Pendleton from his call up to New York earlier this season. His Big League experience is what will set him apart from Kontos if it is between the two of them to be called up. Pendleton did a very nice job for the Yankees but I can’t really say I think he’ll be a good major league pitcher. It could have been just beginner’s luck when he was there or I could be completely wrong but I just don’t believe his stuff can translate to a successful Big League career. Either way, Kontos and Pendleton have been great and versatile options for the SWB Yankees this season.
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.
The Wyoming/West Wyoming/Exeter Panthers C-Team won its season opener 48-0 against the Kingston Huskies. Riley Rusyn, Charlie Banashefski, Caleb Graham, Corey Mruk, and Adam Wisnewski scored the touchdowns for the Panthers while Dillon Williams and Nick Elko scored the twopoint conversions. Jacob Williams, Jack Dileo and Josh Jones had good rushes behind good blocking by Jayden Rusyn, Bryce Hinkle, Cael Heck, Jonathan Augustine and Nasir Condry. The WWE Panthers defense did not allow a first down all game. The defense was led by Walter "Bear" Smith, Garrett Larson, Nathaniel May, Matt Clarke, and Noah Valdez. The Panthers D-Team suffered a 22-8 loss to the Kingston Huskies in the season opener. Rocco Pizano scored an early touchdown for the Panthers, with great blocks by Leo Haros, Nick Winsock and Drew Mruk. The Kingston Huskies scored three touchdowns despite the best efforts by the defense led by Keegan Rusyn and Matt Ragantesi. James Bumbarger added to the Panthers score with a safety late in the game.

Giambra played well last season as a sophomore, but his season was cut short due to injury. The team’s primary strength will be at wide receiver as the Patriots return one of the top playmakers in the Wyoming Valley Conference in junior Jordan Houseman. He will be the team’s featured receiver and Barrett plans to focus the offense around Houseman. And why not? As a sophomore, Houseman scored eight of Pittston Area’s 15 touchdowns on the season. He led the team in receiving with 43 catches for 556 yards and six scores,

will have to fill is at middle linebacker where they lost last season’s top defender in Jeff Kramer. But the coaches like what they see in senior Jake Zalewski at the position. As a junior, Zalewski was second on the team in tackles with 44. Junior Justin Wilk, Falcone, and Romanczuk will rotate at outside linebacker in the Patriots 5-3 scheme. Stankoski, Chisdock, Starinsky, and Houseman will roam the secondary and look to disrupt the plans of opposing quarterbacks. Hahn will be the team’s primary safety.

converted 11 extra-points as a junior and made a 38-yard field goal. “He’s very, very good. He has been getting good distance on his kicks. He was down at the Princeton Camp and did very, very well there,” Barrett said. “He’s just a tremendous kid. His work ethic is very good and he is an intelligent young man.” When Barrett was hired, he watched a ton of film and was very impressed with last year’s team despite their record. Looking back at the games, I did have time to watch a lot of film in the off-season; they hung in there tight,” Barrett said. As for expectations this year, Barrett wouldn’t provide a number. “We are going to be compet-
itive. There is no doubt about it,” Barrett aid. “I don’t want to give you a number, but I think we are going to be very competitive. They need to expect to win every game that they go in to. You’re going to end up a lot better if you go in to the game expecting to win.” And fundamentally, that’s the perfect place to start.

O’Brien, LaNunziata, and Bouie will be the teams kick returners. The Warriors are very versatile this year on defense and most of their players will see time all over the football field, rather than at one position. It may be a new year, but the expectations are the same for Spencer. “As far as wins, losses, our goals are always the same.

For that to happen we need some young kids to grow up pretty quickly.” Spencer is looking to start off on the right foot when they open their season on Friday night at home against Western Wayne. “We hope to get out to a fast start and we hope to build some momentum,” Spencer said. “But, the reality is those guys that are transitioning from parttimers to full-timers have to be ready to take on that kind of workload.”

Jordan is going to be a focus.” Joining Houseman in the receiving corps will be seniors Tyler Roman and Mike Stankoski, and juniors Mike Chisdock and Joe Starinsky. Brian Delaney, a senior, makes his return as the team’s tight end. The big boys up front on offense will also be featured on the defensive line, along with senior Josh Schatzel. Senior Dave Mawson and Roman will see time at defensive end. The biggest hole the Patriots

After School Care Program
There will be a note sent home on Tuesday or Wednesday regarding cost of the After School Care Program. There was an error in the original pricing sent home in the summer mailing. All other information was correct. Holy Rosary School will offer an After School Care Program (ASCP) for the 2011-2012 school year. Students enrolled in grades Pre-K four to eighth are eligible. This program will reflect the philosophy and mission of Holy Rosary School, and is designed to meet the needs of our students and parents.
On regular school days, the program will operate from the time school is dismissed at 2:30 until 5:30 p.m. The After School Care Program will not be available on early dismissal days or when school is closed, and will begin on Tuesday, September 6. All families who may participate in the After School Care Program must complete a registration form, which was included in the second mailing sent home last week. If you need another form, please contact the school office at 457-2553 Arrival and Dismissal Information
The following information will be in effect from the first day of school until November 15 For arrival, buses will discharge and pick up students on Stephenson Street directly in front of the school. Students will proceed into the gym in case of inclement weather or to the back parking lot on Dickson Street, if weather permits, where all will assemble for the first bell. Car riders should be dropped off on Dickson Street, at the back parking lot. If you must park your car to drop off your child(ren), please park in the new church lot and walk your children to the back lot on Dickson St. Teachers will be on duty in the back parking lot. Walkers should report to the back parking lot on Dickson Street. For dismissal, buses will pick up students on Stephenson Street directly in front of the school. Only bus students will be dismissed from the front door. Car riders and walkers will be dismissed from the back door into the back parking lot. If you must park your car to drop off or pick up your child(ren), please park in the new church lot and walk to the back lot on Dickson
St. to meet them. Please observe the following one-way traffic pattern on Dickson St. to ensure our students’ safety: From Old Forge and north, please drive down Marcy St/Swetland St to the end. Turn left onto Watt St. and left onto Dickson Street to discharge students. After students are dropped off, proceed up Dickson St. to Main. If you must park, please do not park directly in front of the parking lot. From Duryea and South, please drive down Stephenson St. past Holy Rosary School. Turn right onto Watt St. and right onto Dickson Street to discharge students. After students are dropped off, proceed up Dickson St. back to Main. If you must park, please do not park directly in front of the parking lot. This traffic pattern will prevent students from having to cross traffic to get onto the parking lot. Since Dickson St. is rather narrow, it should also eliminate traffic congestion. For the safety of your children, we ask you to cooperate fully with these directives. Cafeteria Information
School lunch will begin on Monday, August 29 and will also be served on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of the first week.
