You say you want a revolution?

For months we’ve watched revolutions in North Africa.

The past couple of weeks I witnessed one in a hallway at the community college.

The story begins about two years ago with a zebra – actually a graphic representation of a zebra’s head – and a student nicknamed Kitty. Elisha is her real name. When she told me everyone calls her Kitty she added she didn’t know why. I told her maybe I did. I said it might be because I needed a Kitty in my life. A former student, a woman older than I who had become a dear friend, had died of cancer the summer before. Her name was Caroline but she too had gone by Kitty.

The “new” Kitty pronounced she didn’t care for computers, preferring to draw with pen or pencil. Then she produced the aforementioned zebra using a program I had just taught her. It was spectacular.

Part two of the assignment was to add a message to the design and Kitty, after filling

the background behind the zebra’s head with a bar code – like a zebra, a design in black and white stripes – added the words: Remember, you’re unique. Just like everyone else.

I loved it, and raved about it, and Kitty stuck it in the middle of a bulletin board near the computer lab where I teach and that was how it all started.

Students, who at first stopped to admire the zebra, began to tack up work of their own. The bulletin board hangs in a hallway utilized by most every creative student at the community college – graphic design majors, advertising majors, illustration majors, broadcast majors, journalism majors – and it seemed they had been dying for a place to express themselves. Almost overnight, the bulletin board exploded with creativity. It soon was laden with drawings, designs, photographs, essays, poems.

You could not walk by without stopping to take it in. Kids would sit on the floor in the

hallway for hours trying to absorb everything before them.

There was an unwritten rule about the bulletin board that anything hung there had a right to be there. It was the original no-judgment-zone.

That’s why I was taken aback when, while teaching recently, out of the corner of my eye I spotted someone removing things from the board. I excused myself from class and approach him with, “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Taking everything down,” he said.

“You have no right to do that,” I answered. “These things are special.”

“I know,” he said. “I’m not going to hurt them. But every time I’ve hung something here this year someone had ripped it down, so I’m going to put all of them in this garbage bag, hang it on the bottom of the board, and put up this sign.”

The sign read: If one goes down, they all go down. It had a big arrow pointing to the bag.

“I get it,” I said. “This is a statement.”

He nodded as he continued to work and I told him I was glad he was going it. See, I too had noticed a growing lack of respect for the board. You’d see a moustache drawn on a photograph or a wise crack scrawled next to a poem. What really irked me was when in front of the word “art” on the board, someone scribbled an “f ”.

“Really?” I said to some students. “Flatulence humor?

Does Shrek go to school here?”

I went back into my classroom and told the students what was happening in the hallway.

A young lady, who rarely says a word in class, asked if she could be excused for a moment.

I watched her approach the bulletin board. By then, nothing was left but the garbage bag of art work and scattered push pins.

She returned in a few minutes and after class I went to the bulletin board and had to smile as I saw she had arranged all of

the push pins to spell the word “respect.”

Upon learning what had happened, another student, a journalist, produced a document, a manifesto, of “rules” for the bulletin board. He hung it under the push-pin “respect.”

An art student read it and fashioned a frame for it using grey poster board.

Later, a pencil sketch of a unicorn appeared. It looked hungry. You could see its ribs.

Next to it, the artist wrote “Tell me something.”

In less than 24 hours the bulletin board was alive again.

I gathered some students in front of it and told them the whole story. When I mentioned the push-pin word “respect,” one of them said it didn’t spell “respect” any more. I was about to say, “Yes, it does,” when I realized the pins had been rearranged to spell “rebirth.”

There’s something new hung up every day. Thursday afternoon I noticed the latest addition – a zebra.

Katie Scalzo, Kourtny Schwerdtman, and Sarah Mack work on origami cranes.

So Pryor organized an event, calling it “1000 Cranes,” during which his team as well as other Wyoming Area students set out

to fold origami cranes and use them to raise money to be given to the American Red Cross to aide in the Japan relief efforts.

On April 12, from 5 to 9 p.m., 32 Wyoming Area students and friends got together to design and fold 1000 origami cranes to

n March 11, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan.

Not only did the earthquake cause destruction but the tsunami waves (reaching up to124 feet high) that followed minutes later, traveled up to six miles inland and ravaged the island country.

After all was said and done, 13,591 people died, 4,916 were injured and 14,497 people are reported missing. Approximately 4.4 million households were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water.

The horrible events in Japan caused first-year Wyoming Area girls’ soccer coach Mike Pryor to want to help in some way. After some research, Pryor found that an origami crane is a symbol of hope in Japan and 1000 of them makes a wish come true.

So Pryor and his soccer players went to work.

“They say when you make 1000 origami cranes a person’s wish comes true and it grants happiness and health and peace,” said Pryor.

sell for $1 each. It took them four hours but they reached their goal of 1000 origami cranes.

Creating an origami crane only requires a perfectly square piece of paper, preferably origami paper, but takes approximately 20 small steps.

“One thousand origami cranes is a pretty complicated process,” Pryor said with a chuckle. “If you’re pretty good at it you can make an origami crane in 3-4 minutes. Needless to say, the girls’ hands are a little bit tired but luckily we don’t use them all that much.”

Pryor, who is getting his MBA at Wilkes University and is interested in developing projects for a cause, is hoping that people other than the Wyoming Area soccer team take his idea and run with it.

“Seeing the situation in Japan and how much help they need over there, I’m trying to start this movement where it doesn’t stop with the Wyoming Area girls’ soccer team,” said Pryor. “Hopefully other teams and schools and organizations find this inspirational and organize their own event.”

Conviction in former veterinarian clinic case

By Jack Smiles

Associate Editor

A criminal investigation that began with a phone call to Pittston Township police a year ago ended with conviction in a jury trial last week in Luzerne County Court when Patti Lynn Spickerman of Moscow was found guilty of forgery and theft by unlawful taking.

The jury agreed after a twoday trial before Judge Joseph Augello that Spickerman stole $3,107 from the Animal Emergency Clinic of Wyoming Valley and Referral Service while she was the clinic’s business manager. Sentencing is scheduled for June 6.

Acting Pittston Township Police Chief Leonard Trotta, the lead investigator of the case, said it began on April 28, 2010 when company president Christopher

Rappolt called township police when he suspected Spickerman was stealing from the clinic.

Trotta said Spickerman used Rappolt’s stamp to illegally authorize checks she made out to herself. She claimed the checks were advances from Rappolt, who denied authorizing any advances. Spickerman further said she paid back the advances, Trotta said.

Trotta said a computer program, Intuit QuickBooks Small Business Accounting Software, helped solve the case.

“When we looked into the QuickBooks we saw that when she paid him for the advances, she wrote checks from the general fund to herself to get the money back,” he explained.

Trotta had high praise for the district attorney’s assistant prosecutor Jarrett Ferentino. “He did an excellent job,” he said. “He prepared this case like it was a

Michael and Dolores Insalaco to receive Holy Family Award at brunch on May 1 On Sunday, May 1, the Little Sisters of the Poor, Scranton, will present Michael and Dolores Insalaco with the Holy Family Award at their third Holy Family Awards Brunch. The event begins at 11 a.m. at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, 700 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton, where the Rev. Joseph F. Sica, chaplain of Mercy Hospital, will serve as toastmaster.

The Insalacos, who co-owned and co-operated Insalaco Supermarkets locally for many years, were selected to receive this honor in recognition of their ongoing commitment of supporting the Little Sisters in their mission of serving the elderly poor at Holy Family Residence, Scranton.

The Insalacos themselves have also lived a mission of serving others which is evidenced by their generous support of numerous non-profit institutions throughout the Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys.

Always as donors but most often as active volunteers, the Insalacos have used their personal resources, as well as those supplied by the corporation founded

by Michael and his brothers, to continuously contribute to charitable causes and educational institutions that serve and benefit the residents of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Much like the example set by St. Jeanne Jugan, the Mother Foundress of the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Insalacos seldom speak of their philanthropic efforts. Instead, they choose to do good in a modest and quiet man-

Stop the screaming: ice cream is here huge rage,” Danae said.

Danae said the city is helping the downtown merchants. “They are trying to create an atmosphere here,” she said. “They are all about helping us out, and the other businesses. More restaurants are supposed to be opening up and that helps everybody. The more the merrier.”

One of the ways the city is planning to help the CoffeeTable and other restaurants is with “sidewalk bump outs.” Under Phase 2 of the Streetscape Pro-

ject sidewalks will be extend out 20 feet in certain locations to accommodate outdoor dining and ice cream eating.

Lost parking will be recaptured with diagonal parking between the bump outs.

The city also plans to make a signaled crosswalk on Main Street in the area of the Tomato Festival lot.

Danae said people like to eat ice cream outside on summer nights. “That’s our dream, to see a line out the door for ice cream.”

She’s right about people enjoying ice cream. CoffeeTable will join other ice cream locations in Greater Pittston including Sprinkles ’n’ Shakes on North Main Street in the city, Carter’s drivein on Wyoming Avenue in Exeter, Ben and George’s in Pittston Township, and the legendary Blue Ribbon on Exeter Avenue in West Pittston, which serves locally made ice cream and has been a popular year-round ice cream stop for decades.

Ah, cake and ice cream. Is there a better way to celebrate a first birthday?

That’s the way Danae and Allen Morrow and Justine and Adam Schooley are celebrating the first anniversary of the CoffeeTable, the business they opened at 69 South Main Street last May 17.

The CoffeeTable added Leiby’s ice cream to their menu and expanded hours to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 9 p.m. on weekends. Leiby’s is a legendary ice cream brand family-made in the Tamaqua area for three generations.

Danae said she and the CoffeeTable staff taste-tested several brands of ice cream before choosing Leiby’s. They love the ice cream and the fact that Leiby’s is a Northeastern Pennsylvania brand.

“We were looking for a way to grow our business,” Danae said.

“Everybody likes ice cream, don’t they?”

CoffeeTable customers were asked to pick a favorite flavor in an online poll and teaberry won out. There are 14 other flavors, some unusual, and some basic, like vanilla, chocolate and, of

course, coffee.

The restaurant is also making shakes, sundaes, old-fashioned floats and frozen yogurt.

Danae suggests trying some ice cream with CoffeeTable’s newest desert, cake balls – golf ball-sized balls of cake with a candy coating. After the cake balls were served at a catered event, they took off. “They are a

Last remaining school in Pittston City dates back to 1868 Andrew Casper spent his entire school career at St. Mary’s Assumption grade school, but on Monday the seventh grader learned he will not get to graduate from the school his greatgreat-great grandfather Henry Baumeister founded in the 19th Century.

On Monday in meetings at St. Maria Goretti Church in Laflin, first with invited pastors, principals, and teachers and then with parent committees from the affected schools, Scranton Diocese Bishop Joseph Bambera announced that Assumption will be one of four diocese grade schools closing after this school year.

Gate of Heaven School in Dallas, Sacred Heart School in Carbondale and Marian Catholic School in Scranton are also on the list.

Andrew Casper’s father Mark, who has been the school’s boys’ basketball coach for 27 years, said he was at the parent meeting.

“The principals were told at 6:30, the committees at 7:30,” he said. “There was a buzz in room when we heard the announcement, then when the doors opened and the principals and diocesan officials walked in you could hear a pin drop.”

While Casper and other parents and the teachers had some inkling that changes were in the offing they were surprised that St. Mary’s was on the list to close so abruptly.

“The main thing we want to emphasize is up to 2006 we had solid enrollment, no debt, a waiting list and vibrant community.

We were paying bills and putting money in bank,” Casper said as

“From fifth grade down the numbers aren’t bad.”

Given the circumstances Casper said he and the other parents feel this way: “We didn’t go out of business, we were put out of business.”

Casper said he and the other parents believe that with better management at the diocesan level St. Mary’s and some of the

week leave six kindergarten through eighth grade Scranton Diocese schools open in Luzerne county: Holy Rosary, Wyoming Area Catholic, Good Shepherd in the former Bishop O’Reilly high school building in Kingston, St. Nick’s/St. Mary’s in Wilkes-Barre, St. Jude’s in Mountaintop and Holy Family in Hazleton.

It was in 1868 that Henry Baumeister put benches in the sacristy of St. Mary’s Assumption Church and became the first teacher at what was to become St. Mary’s Assumption School.

In 1877, the members of the Sisters of Christian Charity, an order based in Germany, came at St. Mary’s to teach in the parish school. From 1878 until January 1885, all classes were held in the sacristy behind the old church then located on William Street.

In January 1885, a new classroom was added to the sacristy of the church and St. Mary’s of the Assumption School officially opened with an enrollment of 70.

In October 1890, ground was broken for a new school house on the corner of Church and Sand streets. The wooden frame building was completed with the first classes being held there in September 1891.

The current school, a three-

The Bishop told the parent committee the target enrollment for St. Mary’s to remain open was 225 and that the school hadn’t met that number in 10 years. Right now the enrollment is 142. St. Mary’s enrollment in 2006 was 210. other grade schools could have been saved.

Ironically the closure announcement came just days before a major fund raiser for the school at the Mellow Theater in Scranton. The fund raiser – a show by world-renowned Elvis Presley tribute artist Shawn Klush who is a St. Mary’s alumnus – went on last night as planned.

Casper said the show was not a “doom and gloom event, but a celebration of what was.”

Plans for an informal reunion of St. Mary’s alumni are already in motion. A Facebook posting about such an event quickly had more than 100 positive responses.

The closing of St. Mary’s not only means the end to Catholic education in Pittston, it leaves Pittston City without a school of any kind within its borders. Pittston Area’s Martin Mattei campus is in Hughestown. Pittston Area’s high school is in Yatesville.

FACTS OF LAW

By Dominick P. Pannunzio, Esq.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit issued a divided ruling upholding Illinois’ mandatory moment of silence law. The law requires all Illinois public schools to begin the school day with a moment of silence “for silent prayer or for silent reflection on the anticipated activities of the day.”

In January 2009, a U.S. District Court found the law to be unconstitutional. *** Scheduling most Indiana girls’ basketball games on weeknights does not violate federal law, according to a federal court decision. *** A new law passed in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre will require its public schools to teach about the Holocaust. *** A decision by the U.S. Supreme Court not to hear an appeal filed by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer has cleared the way for state court hormone replacement therapy breast cancer lawsuits filed by more than 100 women in Minnesota to proceed.

an unofficial spokesman for the parents’ committee.

Geography and enrollment were cited as reasons for the closure of St. Mary’s Assumption.

Holy Rosary in Duryea and Wyoming Area Catholic in Exeter are both within a few miles of St. Mary’s.

Holy Rosary and WAC had open houses this week for parents and students of the closing schools. Casper and his son attended the WAC open house.

The Bishop told the parent committee the target enrollment for St. Mary’s to remain open was 225 and that the school hadn’t met that number in 10 years. Right now the enrollment is 142. St. Mary’s enrollment in 2006 was 210.

Casper and other St. Mary’s supporters believe there are two main reasons for the enrollment decline. One was the reassignment of St. Mary’s pastor who had been a passionate advocate for the school. The other was the first round of school closings, which included Sts. Peter and Paul grade school in Plains and Seton Catholic high school in Pittston, where traditionally many St. Mary’s graduates went.

Casper said parents from Peter and Paul told him they were advised by the diocese not to transfer their children to St. Mary’s.

“After the closings a lot of parents were afraid. They didn’t want to go through that again so they left,” Casper said. While admitting enrollment in the higher grades is down, Casper said,

On this day our families share their time, To eat, drink, put on a couple of pounds, it’s no crime.

Easter is special indeed, When we get together to reminisce, and feed.

Enjoy these times to be sure, For memories are counted, and each one is pure.

OUR OPINION

No more teachers, no more books Imagine living in a city without a school.

Come June if you live in Pittston you won’t have to imagine such a city, you’ll be living in one.

Right now St. Mary’s Assumption school on Church Street is the only school in the city proper. Pittston Area’s Middle School campus is in Hughestown. The high school is in Yatesville.

On Monday, Bishop Bambera of the Scranton Diocese announced St. Mary’s will close after this school year, leaving the city without a school.

That there will be no school in the city may be more of a curiosity than a determent, but there is a ripple effect. The 142 students now enrolled there will have to go somewhere.

Understandably, many of the parents of the St. Mary’s students, and of Gate of Heaven in Dallas which is also closing, are wary of Catholic education. What if the next Catholic school they and their children choose closes next year, or the year after that?

All that’s left are the public schools and how many more students can the public schools expect to take on when they are at the same timing considering hiring freezes?

Both Pittston Area and Wyoming Area are hoping to balance their budgets by not replacing retiring teachers. Can they expect to do that if elementary and middle school enrollment suddenly spikes?

We don’t have an answer, nor can we think of an appropriate call to action.

A lot of people in Catholic schools circles, such as the parents and teachers, speculate that the Diocese may be headed down the road to ending Catholic schools all together.

It’s not unthinkable when you consider it wasn’t so long ago that parents registered their children for Catholic schools right after they were born in order to guarantee the child a kindergarten spot five years hence.

Certainly Catholic education is on a downward spiral.

As with everything money is an issue.

More and more parents of Catholic school kids are finding they can’t afford both property taxes in the districts where they live and tuition where they send their kids to school.

Movin’ out Lately, a new routine has begun in the Middleton household and it has nothing to do with New Year’s resolutions, because they’re long forgotten.

Every night, like some warped version of Groundhog Day, our eight-year-old packs her Hello Kitty suitcase and announces she will be leaving.

It inevitably happens after either I, my husband, our 9-month-old, or dog has done something particularly meant to torture her – like pointing out she used the wrong punctuation on her spelling homework.

Whining, tantrums and general mayhem ensue.

Every night.

And she appears to have thought this out, packing necessities such as plastic Scooby toys, seashells, and a pack of watermelon Bubbalicious.

She also realizes she’s going to have to hoof it herself and has chosen a number of houses that are within walking distance. Beware if you live in the vicinity of Montgomery Avenue Elementary.

Not unlike Bill Murray, try as I may to handle things differently every time, I get the same melodramatic outcome. I’m not quite sure when this stage of the terrible twos meets teenage angst began, but I think if we could harness it and use it against our enemies, the United States could rule the world.

It has no weakness – not grounding nor yelling.

Sticker charts and toy removal are useless. Even lack of TV and iPods are powerless against it.

And since when did I lose “the look?” My father’s look still works and I’m 29.

The only thing we can be grateful for is that this only occurs within the walls of our home. In fact, the same daughter who didn’t flinch when (at my wit’s end) I began removing furniture from her room, cried to me about an episode in school when

her teacher looked disappointed.

Disappointed?

Really?

I begged the woman at parent/teacher conferences to teach me that look. She denied knowing how she did it. I think she is lying.

The other night, desperately clinging to sanity, I asked Her Royal Highness to write down what she was feeling – and she actually cooperated.

Sort of.

She became calm and quiet. It was the quietest our house had been in days.

As a side note, I am just as guilty. Trust me, I know what I sound like because the 9-month-old has begun to mock me -- and she does a pretty good impression.

Anyway, I was excited. This was progress. She walked sedately into the room and asked if she could read her (3 page) essay, titled “Why I Am Going to Live with Mrs. Heck.”

It was a moving piece. Apparently, at our neighbors house they NEVER yell, let you have your own Golden Retriever puppy and eat Chinese food every Tuesday and Wednesday.

Who knew?

I’m not sure if our neighbors realize how close they came to claiming our child on their taxes that night, but our 8-year-old finally decided that she just might be able to tolerate us. She even wrote me my own essay on how much she loves me.

I’ll be reading it during tomorrow night’s episode when there is a meltdown over a loose tooth and she starts singing The Grinch song and inserting my name.

Or maybe I’ll move to Mrs. Heck’s. It’s Chinese night, you know.

This time of year we are planning celebrations for holidays of Easter and Passover.

Fortunately it is a time to reconnect with families and friends.

Unfortunately, it might be a time of excess calories and oh those once a year bunny rabbit treats!

Want to make a difference this spring holiday and not gain any extra pounds? Changing what we eat and moving our bodies more can make a difference.

Research tells us that we gain a pound for every 3500 calories we eat above and beyond what our body needs. So if we eat 250 less calories and walk everyday for 30 minutes, or take two walks for 15 minutes, for seven days or one week, we have a good chance of losing one pound of weight.

On another note, we know that over a million heart attacks occur every year. One half U.S. citizens die each year as a result of those heart attacks. Blood cholesterol is an important factor in determining whether your risk affects your rate of blood cholesterol.

Taking steps to reduce your risks of heart disease includes both choosing more heart friendly foods and increasing activity levels.

Increasing activity which means taking more steps in a day may decreases blood pressure and improves the fitness of your heart blood vessels. Being more active also reduces stress. Some ideas may be walking, playing outdoors with your children or grandchildren, and enjoying the outdoors together as a family.

Be choosey when selecting foods. Choose more of foods with some nutritional value and less of empty calories.

For example, we have seen through research that dark chocolate contains procyamdins, which are antioxidant flavonoids.

Choose chocolate that is at least 70% cacao which has some nutritional value. This time of year there are a lot of chocolate bunnies for sale. Look for bunnies that are darker in chocolate by reading the ingredients on the back of the label.

Fill baskets with nuts like walnuts in place of other high fat snacks like chips, and cheese curls. Walnuts have more nutritional value than chips or high sodium cheese curls.

Here is one of my favorite candy recipes. It can be made in a jiffy and if you use 70% cacao powder, it will boost procyamdins. It also contains the whole grain oatmeal.

Enjoy!

Chocolate Nest Eggs

1 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup 70% cacao powder 4 Tbsp margarine 1/2 cup peanut butter 1 tsp vanilla 3 cups whole grain uncooked quick oats Mini jelly beans Combine sugar, water, cacao powder, and margarine in a sauce pan.

Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Add peanut butter, vanilla, and oats. Cool slightly.

Drop by teaspoon on a plate and make slight indentation with the back of a spoon.

Decorate with three mini jelly beans.

Step dance performance benefits free health clinic

Pittston Area senior Letitia Warunek welcomes everyone to the PHOTOS BY BILL TARUTIS benefit dance.

PAGE 16

Letitia and Miranda Warunek, sisters, organized and starred in an Irish step dancing performance at Pittston Area High School for the benefit of the Pediatric Center at the Care and Concern Free Health Clinic in Pittston. The event doubled as a National Honor Society service project for Letitia. The sisters have been dancing for a decade with the Pittston-based Emerald Isle Step Dancers. Letitia picked the pediatric center because it was funded by the Colleen Shea Children’s Foundation. Shea was Letitia’s CCD teacher before she lost her life in a traffic accident in 2001. Also because Letitia’s doctor, Dr. Michael Imbrogno, is a volunteer at the clinic.

Peeking into the past

Question In 1965, a deal was finalized for the construction of the new Topps Chewing Gum Plant in Duryea.

Topps was known for With Judy Minsavage including baseball cards in their signature bubblegum package.

What other collectible Topps cards were es and skits. Participants included Rev. gaining popularity in the ‘60s?

Joseph Barry, Dena Mitchell, as ac-

1965 – 46 Years Ago Pittston City Patrolmen George Oshall and Dante LaFratte had their hands full with two visiting New Jersey youths under the influence of “medicine”. Both boys engaged in a fight that ended with their arrests and confinement, one in a straight jacket.

The youths were released to their families the next day, after being told by the judge to avoid visiting Pittston again warning them police will not allow the youth of Pittston to be exposed to such antics.

The Greater Pittston Business and Professional Women’s Club announced six Pittston young ladies as “Girls of the Year.” Selected for their leadership and academic abilities Angeline Borzell, Nina Amato, Mildred Frusciante, Nancy Starcavage, Sandra Carver, Mary Louise Maughan, Gloria Marcellini and Veronica Botyrius planned to obtain jobs or continue their education at local colleges after graduation.

The girls were selected for the honor by their teachers.

Joel J. Shorin, president; Edward Shorin, treasurer; and Joseph Shorin, director, executives of Topps Chewing Gum, Inc., along with architect John Eriksen visited Pittston to finalize a deal to build a $3,600,000 plant in Duryea.

The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Photographer asked local residents, “How do you feel about the Topps plant locating in Greater Pittston?”

James Colarusso of Pittston said, “This is the biggest shot in the arm Pittston ever had.”

Robert Linskey of Pittston said, “A job well done by the three communities involved.”

Frank Braccini of West Pittston added, “If this plant employs 600 people it

1975 – 36 Years Ago Lichens, a combination of algae and fungi were on the minds of the Pittston Area Senior and Junior High class. Under the direction of Jack Tetlak, Frank Cebula and Ed Pupa, the students utilized the Lichen Sensor Air Quality Survey which originated in France and England to measure air pollution in the Wyoming Valley.

Lichen grows naturally on rocks, soil, tree bark and coal piles, but does not appear if pollutants such as sulfur dioxide exist in the area. Students kept records of the various lichens detected in a 30-meter plot of ground. According to www.biology.usgs.gov, about 100 years ago, lichens had disappeared from many cities in Europe and Great Britain and the term “lichen desert” was coined.

Some studies have shown lichen deserts occurring in eastern Pennsylvania. If anyone remembers participating in the study, please call me at 602-0168.

Three area athletic coaches weighed in the PIAA ruling making it legal for males to try out and compete on female athletic teams. The enacting of this addition to Title IX civil rights legislation states "No person in the U.S. shall, on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal aid" leveled the field for males and females to participate in each other’s sports. Sandy Chiampi, coach of girl’s basketball at Wyoming area, Thomas Finnerty, coach of the 1975 championship girl’s basketball team at St. John’s, and Sal Licata, PA girl’s swim team coach all agreed that separation of the genders was more conducive to high school sports programs.

Renovation of The Avoca Borough Building was a month away from completion when fire struck engulfing the mayor’s office and conference room.

Damage was estimated at $25,000. Avoca Mayor Joseph D. Hannon praised the Avoca and Duryea firemen for extinguishing the fire quickly.

Brothers Neil and Jan Suchodolosky of West Pittston couldn’t wait until 80 or 90-degree weather. With the temperature just above 40 degrees, they donned wet suits and knitted caps and enlisted Mike Azaravich and Joe Moran of Pittston to drive their boat, while they water-skied down the Susquehanna.

1985 – 26 Years Ago Mae’s Raiders, retirees of the In-

ternational Ladies Garment Union, led

by Mae McHugh, took a break from fundraising activities to attend a rally in Harrisburg. The rally attended by 5,000 garment workers targeted the abundance of clothing imports from China, Korea, Hong Kong and Japan flooding the US market. The Greater Pittston contingent numbered about 300. Joining the retirees were workers from J.L. Inc, Port Blanchard and Corner Fashions, West Wyoming. Lois Hartel, district manager of the ILGWU, said she’d seen about 500 union members lose their jobs and 100 factories go out of business.

Mae’s Raiders participated in volunteer work at local hospitals, nursing homes and blood bank. Officers of the club were Albina Ambrose, Mary Hoover, Lena Gregori, Mary DeMartino and Joe Hoover.

1995 – 16 Years Ago Pittston Area was producing American Idols of sorts in 1995 as members of the Jazz band won in several categories at the Jazz Band competition held at Meyers High School and Easton High School. Winning in the best soloist category, Steve Lukasik on sax, Ed Jakuboski on trumpet and Bill Aruscavage on drums. Also named “best of ” were the rhythm, trumpet, trombone and saxophone sections made up of Amber Sabitus, Jamie Merlino, Mike Jake, Tim Williams, Chris Orenich, Jennifer Boughton, Kristen Rincavage, Chris Shock, Jason O’Hop, Joe Barletta, Melanie Rose, Shea Sartin, Ryan Rusnok, Joe Barba, Walter Bechtold, Del Lucent and Chris Szakal. The Jazz band was under the direction of Robert J. Lemoncelli.

Germania Hose Company held a delicious contest at their annual company picnic. George Orenich, picnic cochairman, placed a crown on Paul Geneczko of Avoca and James Steer cochairman crowned Jackie Raca of Duryea. Both children were winners of the valley ice cream eating championship sponsored by Walter Tetlak, owner of Dairy Dan. Answer In the 1960s Topps included collectible cards of popular television shows such as Bewitched, Gilligan’s Island, Soupy Sales and Daniel Boone. Many collectable items can be found at www.toppsarchives.blogspot.com Age does not diminish the extreme disappointment of having a scoop of ice cream fall from the cone.

1955 – 56 Years Ago Members of the Pittston camp of Spanish American War Veterans celebrated the 57th anniversary of the 1898 War against Spain. William Jimms, Hughestown; Robert Fox, Fred Schmaltz, David Williams, Thomas Dobbie, William Francis and Charlie Austin, of West Pittston; Thomas Boshard, Michael Fischer and James Connell of Pittston, and Joseph Taylor, Duryea, participated in a mustering-in ceremony.

According to the web site www.paspanishamericanwar.com, the United States declared war against Spain on April 21, 1898 following the sinking of the Battleship Maine in the Havana harbor on February 15, 1898 and would be the first fought overseas by the United States. Costing the United States $250 million and 3,000 lives, most soldiers, at least 90%, perished from yellow fever, typhoid fever and other infectious diseases. Pennsylvania was one of the largest contributors of men during the war, with almost 17,000 serving in the Pennsylvania Volunteers, and many more in the Federal army and navy. One local veteran reminisced about the food served to soldiers saying, “Some of the cans dated to the War Between the States,” and “most of the guns we used were old and obsolete.”

The former John Howley School in the Houston Section of Pittston Township had new tenants. Closed in 1953, the school remained vacant until the Home Association of Pittston Township VFW received the deed from Joseph Mullen, president of the Pittston Township School Board. Michael Mecadon Jr., president of the association, in turn presented a check for $3,000 to the school board. The VFW planned to make the former school its headquarters and a recreation center for children.

Captain Andy’s Showboat Minstrel was scheduled for a Sunday night in April sponsored by the St. Mark’s Holy Name Society in Jenkins Township.

Billed as being the best minstrel ever, director Joseph Gildea took on the handling of the fast moving songs, danc-

companist; Mrs. James Conlon, costumes; Francis Horan, scenery; George Conlon, lighting and Joseph Callahan, orchestra, Leo Gildea and Jimmy Bone and master of ceremonies, Edward “Heck” Haggerty. Many more performers contributed to the highly anticipated event.

Prize to be awarded for best patriotic float in West Pittston/Exeter parade The annual West Pittston/Exeter Memorial Day Parade will have a new twist this year: a competition for best patrioticthemed float.

All area organizations, clubs, businesses and even individuals are invited to enter.

At a planning meeting, Ron Gitkos, parade chairman, said the idea for including a competition for best float originated with Bob Orlando, or more precisely his wife.

At the meeting, Orlando, representing the Wyoming Area Kiwanis Club, explained that his wife, Katie, recalled the elaborate Memorial Day parades of her youth in Sweet Valley when the floats would be judged by a panel and a prize awarded. Orlando brought the idea to Gitkos and it took off from there.

Orlando said the WA Kiwanis club will support the float competition and help provide the prize which will be a cash award to the organization that wins, or to the winner’s choice of a charity should the winner be a business or an individual.

The annual parade, sponsored

jointly by the Lt. Jeffrey DePrimo American Legion Post 542 of West Pittston and the Adam Kalmanowicz American Legion Post 833 of Exeter, is held on Memorial Day and begins at 11:30 a.m. at the corner of Linden Street and Wyoming Ave-

nue, West Pittston, and ends at St. Cecilia’s Church, Exeter, where a ceremony is held.

There is always a military flyover and a guest speaker at the concluding ceremony.

The parade attracts various marching units including the

Wyoming Area High School band, a bagpipe corps, and the Cino Pacci Band.

Military groups and public officials traditionally march in the parade and apparatus from area fire, ambulance and rescue companies join in.

“We have a rule that no sirens are allowed,” Gitkos said. “This shows respect for the solemn nature of Memorial Day.” Those wishing to enter floats, from service organizations, youth groups, church groups, or private businesses and individuals, may register by calling Butch Simonson, commander of the DePrimo Post, at 655-6258.

“All we ask is that the theme of the float be in keeping with the spirit of Memorial Day in honoring our fallen heroes,” Gitkos said. “We don’t want any commercialization of the day.”

Others at the planning meeting in addition to Gitkos, Simonson and Orlando, were Jack Brogan, commander of the Kalmanowicz Post, who indicated the Exeter VFW is also involved; Ron Faust, treasurer, adjutant, and service officer of the DePrimo Post; and Ed Ackerman, editor of the Sunday Dispatch.

“Every year the parade is staged rain or shine,” Gitkos added. “Those serving in Afghanistan don’t take the day off if it rains so we don’t either.”

was tough to practice every day and feel like it wasn’t getting me anywhere. My family was always supportive though.

They always told me if I wanted to still play they were cheering for me, and if I wanted to be finished with basketball that was ok too.

My friends here at Notre Dame always helped me to stay positive. Guys that I played pick-up with wrote letters to the coaches asking if I could have a try-out.

The walk-on football players union, WOPU nation, was incredible through my entire journey. I became close friends with most of the walk-on football players, and they would share their experiences of walking on. That always gave me hope.

Lastly, I had one friend here at Notre Dame who would absolutely not accept me giving up. I think I needed someone to push me like that. It helped me to believe in myself.

Underdog non-scholarship player walks on to the Notre Dame team and makes the starting line up on Senior Day. “Rudy”?

No, Mary Forr.

Forr is the niece of Luzerne County Judge Tom Burke, who played basketball and football at West Pittston high school in the 1960s. Forr is the daughter of the Judge’s sister, Patty Burke Forr, a 1965 graduate of West Pittston high school where in the days before PIAA female sports she was a majorette.

After three seasons of trying Forr made the Notre Dame women’s basketball team this year, just in time to make it to the National Championship game, where Notre Dame lost to Texas A&M. Forr, 5-11, got in 20 games this season, starting one. She averaged five minutes a game and scored 20 points on 14-30 shooting.

Forr grew up in Altoona where she averaged 17.0 points and 6.0 rebounds a game in leading Bishop Guilfoyle to a Class A Pennsylvania state title in 2007.

In a story about her in the South Bend Tribune in March she said, “I had a picture of the 2001 national championship team, autographed, hanging in my room since the sixth grade, and it hangs in my dorm room, now. It’s always been the dream to get here. I wrote a speech in the eighth grade about how I wanted to play for Notre Dame. It’s been a fairy tale for me.

It’s been great.”

Last week at the team’s banquet, Forr received the team Spirit Award. She was introduced by Coach McGraw as “a girl who can’t stop smiling even when she’s on the court.”

In her acceptance speech, Forr paid tribute to her family, especially her sister Marita, a Special Olympian whom Mary described as the family’s real champion.

She also has a brother Tommy, a 2007 Notre Dame graduate. Her father is R. Thomas Forr, Jr. In a recent interview, Forr told the Dispatch about her basketball experiences.

What was it like growing up in Altoona?

What was your reaction when you made the team this season?

When I made the team I was so overwhelmed. I called my mom and my sister, then my dad, then my brother. I cried during each phone call.

How do you describe your role on the team?

Mary Forr boxes out during a Notre Dame basketball game earlier this season. Forr is the daughter of West Pittston native Patty Burke Forr, and the niece of Luzerne County Judge Tom Burke.

A lot of fun. I lived in a neighborhood with tons of kids. So, everyday we played kickball, kick the can, flashlight tag, basketball, wiffleball, or football. When I got to high school I went to such a small school that everyone knew each other.

The community at Bishop Guilfoyle was awesome. The teachers really cared about the students.

What’s your best memory of winning the state championship in high school?

In the locker-room after the game everyone was crying because that was the last game we would ever play together and because we had accomplished a goal that we had worked hard for since 5th grade. I had played with most of the girls on my team since at least 5th grade. It was so

neat to accomplish a goal like that with some of my closest friends.

What were your options out of high school and how did you decide on ND?

I wasn’t really recruited for basketball out of high school. A few schools showed some interest, but I always knew I wanted to go to Notre Dame. I was actually waitlisted here though. I had accepted at Villanova, but I kept working to get off the wait-list. Countless people sent letters, teachers helped me with new projects, everyone prayed, and on May 14 I was taken off the wait-list.

Before making the team this season, did you ever feel like giving up?

I thought of giving up a number of times. It was tough to make the team. It

My role on the team was mostly in practice and on the scout team. I would pretend to be one of the players on the opposing team and try to prepare our team for the game. I would play as hard as I could on every possession to try to make our girls better and to make sure they were prepared for the game. It was also my role to make sure everyone stayed positive. I tried to be encouraging all the time.

What was it like getting in a game the first time and being announced as a starter?

Well the first game was on my birthday.

Coach called my name and I ran to the scorer’s table. While at the scorer’s table I started crying. When I stepped on the court I got the chills. I thought, “This is it!

This is what I worked for.” Then, the game took over and any nervousness went completely away. It was awesome to play.

Ruby gives PA jewel of a win Freshman leads Lady Patriots to victory over Wyoming Area

By Matt Page

Dispatch Correspondent

The Pittston Area and Wyoming Area girls’ soccer teams took the field on a warm and sunny day at the Bucky Harris Sports Complex in Hughestown on Thursday afternoon, and the only thing shining brighter than the midApril sun was the play of Pittston Area’s Sara Ruby.

The freshman scored two goals to lead the Lady Patriots to there first win of a season, a 3-2 victory over the Lady Warriors in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 crossover game. Both teams played exceptional soccer and displayed the fight one would expect when the cross-river rivals take the field against each other.

"There’s no other game like a Wyoming Area-Pittston Area game,” said Pittston Area coach Nicole Tieso. “Nothing is held back."

Both teams went at it from the start.

Through the first 30 minutes of the game, both teams had scoring chances that were spoiled by strong defensive efforts. A ball played over the top of the defense

by WA’s Shannon Ritts just before the Lady Patriots forward got her foot to it. A few minutes later, Wyoming Area’s Katie Scalzo blasted a free kick from 30 yards out onto the frame of the goal but Jordan Cumbo was there to snatch the ball out of mid-air. One minute later, Ruby found herself oneon-one with Lady Warriors goalkeeper Megan Yurek. Ruby tried to get off a shot but Yurek dove at her feet and knocked the ball away.

However, Ruby could only be held in check for so long.

She kicked off the scoring with less than eight minutes left in the half as she broke through the defense using an incredible combination of speed and strength.

One-on-one with the keeper, Ruby calmly tucked the ball just inside the left post to give the Lady Patriots a 1-0 lead. "(Ruby) is very good forward upfront, can control the ball, very

poised on the break away and can distribute the ball," said Tieso.

As good as Ruby is, the Lady Warriors also have some offensive talent. Two minutes after Pittston Area found the back of the net, Wyoming Area did the same.

Kourtny Schwerdtman played the ball to Samantha Acacio who touched the ball past the outstretched arms of Cumbo, off the right post and into the goal to tie the game at 1-1 at the 34:28 mark of the first half.

But the young Pittston Area team would not be overwhelmed by the more experienced Wyoming Area squad.

With 2:50 left in the half, Liz Mikitish ripped a shot from outside the box onto the goal. Yurek jumped to make the save but could only touch it as it went off her hand and into the goal to give the Lady Patriots a 2-1 lead at halftime.

Ruby wasted no time to start the second half.

Wyoming Area's Samantha Acacio heads the ball against Pittston Area.

The fabulous freshman once again was able to shed the defenders and use her speed to sprint past another to get herself one-on-one with the keeper. Yurek charged and sprawled out at Ruby’s feet but she chipped the ball into the net to push the PA lead to 3-1 just nine minutes into the second half.

Four minutes later WA’s Acacio dribbled around the defense and hit a shot which appeared to be going into the net. However, Cumbo was able to reach out and

get her fingertips on it for an incredible save and to preserve the two-goal lead.

Wyoming Area kept applying pressure as head coach Mike Pryor moved his all-star midfielder Scalzo to the front.

It proved to be a smart move.

With 11:43 left in the game, Schwerdtman took the ball out of the air and placed it nicely into the path of Scalzo who rifled a shot See LADY PATRIOTS, Page 56

Offensive woes troubling Wyoming Area Warriors have scored just six runs in four games More trouble doomed the Warriors in the third as Berwick tacked on two more runs, thanks to a two-run RBI-double by Tyler Soboleski.

From there, Maloney took over. The junior dominated the rest of the way, silencing the Bulldogs bats in surrendering only two hits through the final four innings.

“Maloney is our No. 1. He is a great fielder and brings a lot of attitude to the game,” Andrewscavage started. “We’re hoping he takes a bigger lead to our team.”

Even behind a great pitching performance from Maloney, Bower was just as dominant, setting down the 12 of the final 14 Warriors he faced for the complete game victory.

Trent Grove registered the only extra base hit for the Warriors, a double in seventh.

Maloney took the loss, scattering eight hits, walking three while fanning nine in seven innings.

Wyoming Area (0-4) added a run in its half of the fifth to get within 4-3, but Dallas scored again in the sixth and held the Warriors in check the rest of the way.

Dylan Maloney led the WA offense with three hits, including an RBI double and a solo homer. PJ Bone added two hits, including a double for the Warriors, and Ryan Carey singled twice from his leadoff spot.

It seems every time Wyoming Area made contact on Monday whether it was a deep fly ball, a sharp grounder or a line drive the baseball would just not fall for the Warriors.

Mustering only two hits on the afternoon, Wyoming Area dropped its fourth straight decision to start the season during a 4-0 loss to Berwick in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division I West game at the Atlas Sports Complex in West Pittston.

“Hitting wise, I think we were undisciplined. We been running through some tough luck now and it’s sort of effecting our attitude,” WA Head Coach Chick Andrewscavage said. “Their pitcher lived on the outside and we weren’t adjusting.”

With Warriors ace Dylan Maloney on the hill, the Bulldogs started off strong in the first.

TJ Lashock led off with a sharp single to center, followed by a bunt single by Jake Calovi. After a Maloney strikeout, Dave Calovi connected on a RBI-single to right which chased home Lashock from second, giving the Bulldogs an early 1-0 lead. Maloney settled in and struck out the final two to end the frame.

Berwick starter Ben Bower worked quickly in the bottom half, surrendering only one base runner - an infield error off the bat of leadoff hitter Ryan Carey.

After three consecutive fielder’s choice outs, the Warriors were set down in the first.

Berwick tacked on another in the second when Steve Kuchka reached on an infield single and was dispatched home two batters later on a RBI-single to right by Lashock- who finished 4-for-4 for the Dawgs.

Senior Kody Nowicki started off the second with a sharp liner to center for the Warriors. Nowicki then swiped second base and moved to third after a ground out.

Unfortunately as lady luck would have it, Bower induced a ground ball out, stranding Nowicki at third and ending the WA scoring threat.

Andi Alsalahat blasted a sixthinning grand slam to rally Old Forge to a 7-4 victory over Lakeland in a Lackawanna League Division II game on Monday night at the Old Forge Miles Street Community Park.

Trailing 4-3 entering the bottom of the sixth, sophomore Briah Carling dumped a single into left field before freshman Taylor Nemetz beat out a sacrifice bunt for an infield single to give the Blue Devils first-andsecond with no outs.

After Jess Casey moved both runners over with a sacrifice bunt, leadoff hitter Lindsay Regan drew a walk after a 10-pitch at-bat in which the senior fouled off five pitches to keep her at-bat alive.

Then on a 1-0 pitch, Alsalahat drilled a waist-high fastball approximately 220-feet over the centerfield fence for her second home run of the night.

The senior also gave Old Forge (2-0) its first run of the night on a one-out homer in the top of the first inning. The Blue Devils went back-to-back in their first at-bat when Nicole Marianelli roped a line drive over the right centerfield fence for a 2-0 lead.

Old Forge added another unearned run in the second when Martinelli doubled home Chris Talipski who had reached on an infield error to lead off the inning. Martinelli made the score 4-0 after moving to third on a passed ball and scoring on a Michael Long sacrifice fly.

Connor Fultz made the score 5-0 almost by himself. The senior shortstop was hit by a pitch with one out in the bottom of the fourth. He then stole second, advanced to third on a wild pitch and scored on an error by the Lakeland catcher.

Talipski then pushed the lead to 6-0 after ripping a single to center which scored Russ McGlynn who had reached on another infield error by the Chiefs.

Tony Goodall was solid for the Blue Devils, scattering seven hits and four walks over seven innings while allowing just two runs.

Martinelli, Fultz and Talipski all finished with two hits for Old Forge (2-0). Fultz reached base all four times he batted as he was hit twice. He also stole two bases, as did Talipski. Dave Argust drew two walks for Old Forge.

OF 12, Carbondale 2

Ian Nemetz pitched a five-inning one-hitter to lead Old Forge to win over Carbondale in a 12-2 rout on Thursday afternoon at Pagnotti Park.

Nemetz – in his first action of the season – allowed just a second-inning single when the Chargers scored two unearned runs to get within 3-2 of the Blue Devils.

The junior lefty scattered four walks and struck out seven, including six in a row from the third through fifth innings.

Old Forge (4-0) gave Nemetz all the support he would need with three runs in the first inning as Connor Fultz smacked an RBI double and Russ McGlynn drove in two with a single.

The Blue Devils added two more in the second and three in the third to extend its lead to 8-2 before scoring four in the fifth to end the game on the 10-run rule.

Mario Martinelli led Old Forge on a 3-for-3 day at the plate that featured a triple, three stolen bases and four runs scored. Michael Long added three hits and two RBI for the Blue Devils, and McGlynn also belted two hits and drove in two. Connor Fultz chipped in with two hits, three runs scored and two RBI on two doubles, a walk and a hit by pitch.

Lady Patriots beat WA Continued from Page 48

into the left side of the net to cut the Pittston Area lead to 3-2.

"It’s not me. It’s the players out there. They’re the ones doing the work. I’m just trying to put them in position to find success and mainly enjoy it, too," said Pryor.

"Scoring goals is fun so obviously (Scalzo) enjoys going up top."

As the final seconds ticked away, Wyoming Area had one last chance to tie the game as the ball found its way to the always-dangerous Scalzo who was about 20 yards from the goal. She blasted a final attempt but the ball bent wide of the goal and Pittston Area was able to breathe a sigh of relief as he captured its first victory of the season.

"We just wanted to make sure we played like a team, work the ball around and move the ball from the mid to the wings to the front and always looking for that extra pass or for that open girl," said Tieso. "They seemed to mesh very well."

Pittston Area’s Cumbo had nine saves in the net while her counterpart Yurek recorded eight.

The Lady Patriots recorded 11 shots on goal as did Wyoming Area.

PA 0, Tunkhannock 2

One day after its offense came out of its winter hibernation, Pittston Area failed to find the back of the net in a 2-0 loss to Tunkhannock on the road Friday in a WVC Division 2 Crossover.

The Lady Patriots allowed one goal in each half as the Lady Tigers offense peppered PA keeper Jordan Combo with 25 shots. The sophomore was credited with eight saves between the pipes.

In turn, Pittston Area managed just five shots on goal against Tunkhannock with zero corner kicks.

WA 2, Hanover 2

Despite goals from Jenn Bone and Jenna Skrinak, Wyoming Area settled for a 2-2 overtime tie with Hanover in a WVC Division 2 Crossover on Friday afternoon in Wyoming.

Bone scored on an assist from Katie Scalzo to tie the score at 1-1 late in the first half, and Skrinak then scored unassisted10 minutes into the second half to give the Lady Warriors a 2-1 lead.

But the Lady Hawkeyes came back and knotted the game at 2-2

with 20 minutes left in the game.

Both teams played the remaining 40 minutes without a goal resulting in a tie.

Wyoming Area (1-2-1) outshot Hanover, 26-17, with six corners.

Caitlin Vitale stopped 17 shots in goal for the Lady Warriors.

Lakeland took a 3-2 lead in the top of the third, but Old Forge tied the score in its half of the inning when Chelsea Cadwalder singled in Alsalahat who had singled to lead off the inning.

The Lady Chiefs retook the lead in the fourth when they manufactured a run on an infield single and a single to center by Dana Prudente.

Alsalahat finished 4-for-4 on the night with three runs scored and five RBI for Old Forge, and Marianelli and Nemetz both came up with two hits for the Blue Devils.

Kim Regan fought off a bit of wildness to pick up her second win of the season. The junior allowed just two earned runs and seven hits while walking four. Regan also struck out eight, including the top three hitters in the Lakeland lineup in the top of the seventh.

OF 4, Holy Cross 18

Old Forge suffered its most lopsided defeat in over a decade, allowing 16 runs in the final two innings of an18-4, six-inning loss to Holy Cross on Tuesday night at the Old Forge Miles Street Community Park.

The Blue Devils led 3-2 entering the fifth inning, but the Lady Crusaders would send 24 batters to the plate as they batted around in both the fifth and six innings to invoke the 10-run rule. Two Old Forge pitchers allowed10 hits and issued seven walks during the onslaught.

Chelsea Cadwalder drove in two runs for the Blue Devils with a one-out single in the first inning when Old Forge (2-1) took a 3-0 lead.

Sarah Fish added an RBI double for the Blue Devils, and Dana Bilski drew two walks and scored two runs.

Two days after allowing 16 runs, Old Forge bounced back and allowed just one. But its second straight loss was just as crushing as the first as the Blue Devils were no-hit by Carbondale’s Mackenzie Lynn in a 1-0, eight-inning defeat on Thursday night at the Old Forge Miles Street Community Park.

It’s the first time in over five years Old Forge (1-2) has lost back-to-back Lackawanna

League games.

Lynn was untouchable through the first three innings, striking out the first nine Blue Devils.

Old Forge’s Kim Regan was equal to the task, allowing only two runners to reach on an error and a walk during the first four innings of play. The sophomore allowed Carbondale’s first hit in the fifth which was quickly erased by a ground-ball double play.

Regan struck out nine hitters on the night, including the side in the third.

But CA got to the first-year starter in the eighth on a walk, bunt single, a passed ball and a single up the middle for a 1-0 lead.

Sarah Fish gave the Blue Devils their only runner when she drew a two-out walk in the bottom of the eighth. Pinch-runner Michelle Giacometti stole second but was stranded there when Lynn fanned her 16th batter to end the game.

OF Baseball

Marissa Nardone is one of the most feared hitters in the Wyoming Valley Conference, and she showed why in Pittston Area’s first game of the season.

Nardone smacked two hits and drove in the Lady Patriots only run in a loss against league powerhouse Nanticoke.

For her effort, Marissa has been named The Sunday Dispatch Pittston Area Athlete of the Week for the week April 3-9.

Nardone had two singles with her sixth-inning smash driving in a PA run.

Posters of Marissa can be seen at Tony’s Pizza in Pittston, and Smart Designs and Graphics in Wyoming, sponsors of the Pittston Area Athlete of the Week.

Alex Holtz made her debut as Wyoming Area’s No. 1 pitcher a memorable one as the sophomore smacked three hits and earned the win as the Lady Warriors opened their season with a win over Valley West.

Holtz earned the complete-game win on the mound, and went 3-for-3 at the plate in the 4-1 victory over the Lady Spartans.

For her effort, Alex has been named The Sunday Dispatch Wyoming Area Athlete of the Week for the week April 3-9.

Holtz pitched seven innings of two-hit ball while striking out seven and walking three while allowing the one earned run. She also added three singles in aiding the WA offense.

Posters of Alex can be seen at Januzzi’s Pizza in Wyoming, and Smart Designs and Graphics in Wyoming, sponsors of the Wyoming Area Athlete of the Week.

He may have opened the season as the ninth hitter in the Old Forge lineup, but that doesn’t mean Chris Talipski is an easy out by any means.

The Blue Devils junior left fielder showed why in a 3for-3 day at the plate which included the game-winning RBI as Old Forge gave Manager Tony DiMattia his first career victory.

For his effort, Chris has been named The Sunday Dispatch Old Forge Athlete of the Week for the week April 3-9.

Talipski had two singles, a double and a run scored, but it was his seventh-inning sacrifice fly that pushed the gamewinning run across the plate in a 5-4 win over Holy Cross.

THE BRIDGE

Only playoffs matchups could take The Bridge away from Pittston Area

By Rick Notari

Dispatch Staff

more with the annual Ashby Baseball Game set to be played on April 25, and the softball game to be played on the following day, April 26.

The Warriors would need to sweep the final two meetings and hope for playoff matchups in soccer, baseball and softball – which are all possibilities.

Wyoming Area Athletic Director Frank Parra could also call across the river and try to schedule an exhibition track meet to add to WA’s chances of catching their arch-rival.

PAGE 59

Barring any playoff matchups or unscheduled exhibition meets between Pittston Area and Wyoming Area, the Patriots have seemingly clinched The Bridge for the fifth consecutive school year.

Pittston Area led by five coming into the winter season and in an anti-climatic fashion, out-distanced them selves from Wyoming Area when it was announced they would not field a boys’ volleyball team for the sec-

Old Forge juniors donate $2,000 to American Cancer Society

Three juniors at Old Forge High School, Mia Sallavanti, Brittany Baron, and Nina Grippo have recently raised $2,000 to benefit the American Cancer Society. They participated in Daffodil Days by selling daffodils at school and creating a Wall of Hope outside of their vice principal’s office.

Their vice principal, Regina Krieger is a cancer survivor.

Many students and teachers purchased donation cards that formed the Wall of Hope. Each day the girls sold daffodils and donation cards during their lunch period for two weeks. Each of the girls has a family member that was affected by cancer and they all thought that raising money to help find a cure for cancer would be a great idea for their senior project.

This project was especially important for Mia because her grandfather, Robert Semenza was diagnosed with Stomach Cancer in September of 2009. It was shocking and very scary to her whole family. Because of cancer research and treatment, her grandfather is currently a cancer survivor. Nina’s grandfather, Vito Gallo, died of Colon Cancer in July of 1997. Brittany’s aunt, Jean (Balzano) Collier, is a breast cancer survivor. We all were touched by cancer in some way, and wanted to contribute to this organization to help cancer patients and to help cure cancer. We hope that we can pass this senior project on each year at Old Forge High School to raise more money for the American Cancer Society.

Wilkes to hold ‘Women Empowered by Science’ summer camp Robotics, genetics, and endangered species are just a few of the subjects being explored at the annual Howard Hughes Medical Institute – Women Empowered

by Science Summer Camp at Wilkes University. The HHMIWEBS Summer Camp will run from July 25 to August 5 and is open to young women entering grades 7 or 8. The girls will spend each day from 8:30 a.m. to

3:30 p.m. participating in a variety of labs and field trips funded by a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

The HHMI-WEBS camp is designed to encourage girls’ interest in studying science and pursuing careers in science fields. Participants gain handson experience in a variety of subjects through two different labo-

ratories each day. Topics explored will include ecology, biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, genetics and endangered species.

Girls will have the opportunity to meet and have lunch with professional women from the scientific community who will share their expertise through lively discussion. Campers are asked to

bring a brown bag lunch. Drinks and snacks will be provided throughout the day.

Parents are encouraged to register their student for the full two-week camp to receive maximum benefit from the program.

Space is limited and enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Tuition for two weeks is $300. Scholarships based on fi-

nancial need are available. The registration deadline is May 13, 2011.

The Women Empowered by Science (WEBS) program began in 2003 as an after-school program when a parent at Wyoming Seminary asked Wilkes University to develop a program to stimulate girls’ interest in science. The after-school program has grown to include students

from many Luzerne County schools. The summer camp program is an extension of that program and was started in the summer of 2009.

Warrior News

By Debbie Gross

Senior Sentiments

The two-week deadline has arrived. The fear of mass memorization, hours of late night cramming, and—perhaps the most frightening--blanking out has entered the minds of a multitude of dedicated students vying against themselves and time for precious college credits. What fiendish scholastic task am I speaking of, you might ask?

The AP tests, of course!

We have come this far, AP seniors, but the best (and the test) has yet to come. Now is not the time for burnouts and lackadaisical attitudes.

In the next two weeks, you must ask yourself to prove your worth.

Sure, you’ve survived those advanced classes thus far. You have conquered eight-chapter exams and DBQs about American eras that most have never heard of; you have triumphed over chemical formulas that many would dub a foreign language; you have calculated and cracked the code that is calculus. But now is the time to put all your effort and commitment to the test.

The AP test is only as daunting as you make it out to be. And though this might jitter your nerves a bit, it must be said: How you spend these next two weeks is critical to your success or failure on this test. A solid ten days of refreshing your memory will be much more valuable than ten days of lazing around your house. So use your time wisely, do not doubt what you already know, and never deny your gut instincts. Those college credits will be yours soon enough.

found with her best friend, Sarah Smith. Don’t be caught off guard if you hear her personal catchphrase, “BAM! How you doin?!”.

The most challenging part of high school was all the work.

Brittany says one word that describes her high school experience is “memories”. After graduation Brittany plans on going to school. If she could teach any class in the world it would be English. She is most looking forward to getting a house and rais-

ing a family when she becomes an adult.
