Vol. 67, NO. 16
Does anyone know where the love of
God goes when the waves turn the min-
utes to hours?
Its a line from the song The Wreck of
the Edmund Fitzgerald, written and sung
by Gordon Lightfoot as a tribute to an
ore carrier that sunk on Nov. 10, 1975, in
Lake Superior, victim of a powerful early
November storm. All 29 crew members
died.
I think about that line often. Not when
I hear of a ship wreck there are few
of those but rather when I think about
other events that warrant the question.
Ive been singing that line over and
over in my head since hearing about
Jennifer Sidari, the 26-year-old from
West Pittston, who died on May 29, just
18 days after graduating from medical
school. Abrilliant, compassionate young
woman with a lifetime of helping others
her childhood dream ahead of her,
gone. Just like that.
Where does the love of God go when
something like this happens?
I must confess I shudder at asking the
question because, as a God-fearing per-
son, I know I have no right. But still.
Then, Tuesday afternoon I surprisingly
found myself face-to-face with someone
who just might have the right.
As a full-time college professor, sum-
mer affords me the fexibility to pop into
the Dispatch offce more regularly than I
am usually able, and so I happened to be
there actually, heading to the door on
my way to a meeting when a woman
and two young ladies walked in. Since
no one else was available, I apologized
for being in a bit of a hurry, but asked if I
could be of assistance.
I am the mother of Jennifer Sidari,
the woman said calmly.
That simple sentence stopped me in my
tracks.
AMass of Christian Burial for Jennifer
had been celebrated the day before.
Mrs. Sidari said she wanted to place a
thank you ad in the paper and I told her
someone would be right out to take care
of her. I took her hand and, after once
again apologizing for needing to leave, of-
fered my condolences. My words seemed
hollow, as expressions of condolences
often do, but I could think of nothing else
to say.
Mrs. Sidari introduced the young ladies
as Jennifers sister Victoria and her close
friend, whose name I did not catch but felt
uncomfortable asking her to repeat it.
I could not help but linger a bit, at least
until our offce manager arrived, and
eventually I did fnd something to say.
Forgive me, I began, but the three of
you seem so at peace.
Victoria smiled, a lovely smile remi-
niscent of the one I saw on the face of
Jennifer in photos we ran in the Dispatch
last week.
We are at peace, she said. If we
werent, my sister would kick our butt.
All three laughed.
It seemed that Jennifer, who only
wanted to take care of people, was doing
just that, even in death.
Every religion defnes God as love. And
that love may be no more apparent than
when people are hurting. Gods boundless
love is there to get us through the most
diffcult of times. But, again, where is it
when these diffcult times are occurring?
I have a friend whose son drowned fve
years ago while fshing in a stream he
had been to dozens of times. How? Why?
Where were you? And where was your
love that day? my friend asks God over
and over.
He also keeps telling God he is mad at
Him. He tells Him every single day at
morning Mass.
Mad as he is, my friends God is still
his God. It would be easy for him, or any-
one else in his situation, to question the
very existence of God. But he does not.
And he will not.
Which makes me think of the Biblical
story of Job.
In short, as most of you know, God
allows Satan to test the righteousness
of Job by visiting all sorts of horrors upon
him. Satans claim is that Job is only
righteous because God is so good to him.
Take that away, and surely Job will curse
God.
But for all that he loses and Job
loses everything he will not turn away
from the Lord, who, he proclaims, giveth
and therefore has the right to taketh away.
The thing about the Book of Job is that
much as with us when we ask why
Job never really does get a satisfactory
explanation on the reason for his suffer-
ing.
I once heard a radio preacher explain it
like this: The Book of Job is 30 chapters
of Job turning to God and saying, I dont
understand. And in Chapter 31, God says
to Job, Youre right, you dont.
Somehow I fnd great comfort in that.
Some things, indeed many things, in
life are impossible for us to understand.
But as long as God does, we dont have
to.

Pittston Areas graduating class
has record eight sets of twins
Maybe it was something in the
water 18 years ago.
As graduates of Pittston Area
walk across the stage on Tuesday,
a record eight sets of twins will
accept diplomas: Austin and Kyle
Kostelansky; Tiana and Taylor
Stull Saporio; Joe and Jillian Sta-
rinsky; Marina and Michael Sell;
Adam and Alicia Chopyak; Blase
and Michael Chopyak; Brian and
Mary Theresa Anderson and Kris-
ten and Catherine Lombardo.
Thats 7 percent of the class.
The Lombardo twins are the
fourth generation of multiple
births in their family. Their moth-
er, the former Susan Donovan, is a
twin. There is another set of twins
and a set of triplets in their lineage
as well.
In 1980, one in every 53 babies
born in the United States was a
twin. By 2009, that number had
risen to one in every 30, according
to the National Center for Health
Statistics.
Their father, former Pittston
Mayor Michael Lombardo said
Kristen and Catherine are com-
plete opposites. Until she was 13,
Kristen preferred to shop in the
boys section for clothes, Lom-
bardo said. Kristen has dark hair
and dark eyes and shes pretty out-
going. Catherine is light-skinned,
has blue eyes and shes more quite
and reserved.
But their relationship is strong,
he said. Growing up, the girls
shared a bedroom because there
was only one available. But af-
ter the family moved to a bigger
house on Broad Street and they
had the option of having their own
bedrooms, the girls decided to
continue staying in the same bed-
room.
They have a wonderful rela-

Citys noise ordinance topic of LCB hearing
Pittston watering holes like Coo-
pers Cabana and Tomato Bar and
Bistro run the risk of a Liquor Con-
trol Enforcement citation if ampli-
fed music drums up complaints.
But at a hearing on Monday, City
Administrator Joe Moskovitz and
Solicitor Sam Falcone made the
case to for city police and code of-
fcials to take over handling such
complaints.
An examiner from the states Li-
quor Control Board conducted the
hearing and will make a recomen-
dation to the full board. A decision
is expected by July 16.
Under the states purview, noise
violations such as a band or DJ
playing through electronic ampli-
fcation at a bar could result in
an LCB citation, Falcone said. If
the city takes the reins, local law
enforcement would give warnings
and citations to bars and restaurants
for making too much noise.
Moskovitz said allowing dis-
cretion, bar owners in the central
business district can hire live music
with less fear of retribution from
state enforcement. The move coin-
cides with city planners hopes to
improve Pittstons vibrant hospi-
tality industry, Moskovitz said.
City Council recently passed a
comprehensive noise ordinance
that covers neighborhoods and the
business district.
Police Chief Robert Powers told
told LCB hearing examiner Tom
Miller said the department has is-
sued citations to residents since the
ordinance was enacted in February,
but not to any bars or restaurants.
But, he said, police have not re-
ceived complaints about the busi-
nesses.
The hearing was held at Coo-
pers because, according to the state
law, it must take place within the
borders of the area affected. That
area proposed to be under city ju-
risdiction Falcone referred to it
as the central business district is
between 10 and 15 percent of the
citys two square miles and follows
Main Street and Kennedy Boule-
vard. Bars and restaurants outside
the area will be left to the LCBs
rule because they are too close to or
part of mostly residential areas.
The power transfer is provisional
and, if granted to the city, offcials
most likely will have to re-petition
in a year when it expires. Miller
said for frst-time petitions such as
Pittstons, usually one year is grant-
ed to see how law enforcement
handles the responsibility.
Coopers owner, Paul Cooper,
testifed because LCB offcials
cited his restaurant for loud music
coming from the Cabana late one
night in 2012.
Cooper said that he has heard
from only one resident about the
noise and cut entertainment down
to two- and three-man music groups
on the weekends and a DJ playing
on Sundays. All music stops at 11
p.m., Cooper said.
The hearing was sparsely attend-
ed and no neighbors testifed.
Christine Dumas, who lives
within shouting distance of Coo-
pers on Elizabeth Street, said noise
from the Cabana has quieted in the
last year, however it drifts up occa-
sionally.
You know theyre down there,
Dumas said from her front porch.
But I dont think it offends any-
body.

DUCT DYNASTY?
Wyoming Area couple wears duct tape outfits to prom for second year
A little over a year ago, then
Wyoming Area senior Paul Min-
nelli and junior Rachael Stark
were in a sticky situation.
What to wear for prom?
The answer? Duct tape!
We sawthe idea in a magazine
and thought it was really cool to
do, said Stark.
Last year, the couple dressed
in a punk rock theme. Was that
a tacky idea? Not really. Accord-
ing to Stark, Minnelli would have
Rachael Stark, left, and Paul Minnelli attended the Wyo-
ming Area Junior/Senior prom for the second straight year
dressed in clothes made entirely from duct tape.

Does Your Lawyer Charge For Postage?
I was surprised to learn that
many lawyers are now charging
their clients for postage, long
distance telephone calls, and
photocopies in addition to their
customary legal fee. Ive even
seen bills showing that the lawyer
charged the client for meals eaten
out-of-town while the lawyer was
conducting the clients business.
Wasnt he going to eat if he
stayed home?
Youll never get nickled and
dimed at my ofce. My clients
and I enter into fee agreements
that provide that I will advance
the costs incurred to pursue
their claim. Those costs are
usually limited to paying your
doctors for their testimony, and
obtaining medical records, not for
the use of my copying machine
and telephone. And, I only get
reimbursed if I win your case.
If youve been seriously injured
in an accident, call me today for
a free consultation. I promise that
youll never be surprised with my
bill at the conclusion of your case.

After being ravaged by both fre
and food, Antonios Pizza is back.
The West Pittston eatery on Wy-
oming Avenue was destroyed on
Sept. 8, 2011, when, in the wake
of Hurricane Irene and
Tropical Storm Lee,
the Susquehanna River
crested at 44.6 feet and
a third of the town was
underwater. Antonios
Pizza took in seven feet
of foodwater.
Their satellite piz-
zeria, just under three
miles away on Wyo-
ming Avenue in Wyo-
ming, was destroyed
by a fre seven months
later.
Francesca Caran-
nante said her family
wasnt going to give
up. We still wanted
to stay in West Pittston
and this is a busy area.
The family opened a
new location in the Insalaco Shop-
ping Plaza in April. The place was
remodeled and their customers
have been focking back.
Its great to get so much support
from the community, Carannante
said.
Carannante said the menu was
kept and expanded. Pizza, hoagies,
salads, burgers, sandwiches, wings
and wraps are all on the menu.
She said she and her family her
father, Orlando, her mother, Adri-
ana, and her brother, John oper-
ated the pizzeria in West Pittston
since 1974.
West Pittston Mayor
Tony Denisco has said
he is expecting develop-
ment activity at Antonios
former location soon.
Wyoming Avenue LLC, a
Florida-based entity man-
aged by John and Jean
Mulhall, recently sold
the building to borough
resident Judith Barone for
$160,000.
Barone could not be
reached for comment on
her plans for the site, but
Denisco said he recently
spoke to Barones son,
Charles, who indicated
the family was exploring
several ideas for the 0.34-
acre parcel.
The site is of particular interest
because its at a busy intersection.
Its right in the heart of town, De-
nisco said.
The Wyoming location, owned
by the neighboring UFCW Credit
Union, was rebuilt and Chief Ex-
ecutive Offcer John Hayduk said
the organization hasnt yet decided
what will go in the building.
Customers seemed happy Anto-
nios reopened.
Tony Salus of Corning, N.Y.,
who was working on a West Pittston
construction site on Wednesday,
stopped in to the newAntonios for
lunch. He said he has local relatives
and remembers visiting Antonios
in their former location.
The food is great, he said. Its
just like I remember it. Im glad
theyre back in business. That food
hit everyone so hard.

A federal appeals court in San Francisco has denied
an effort by environmental groups to challenge a
planned railroad extension in Alaska they claim
would damage salmon, moose, bear, the endangered
gray wolf and other wildlife in the area. The 35-mile
extension would run through a wetlands area and
link Port MacKenzie, which is 1.5 miles across Cook
Inlet from the Port of Anchorage, with the Alaska
Railroad Corp.s main line.

A new South Carolina state law requires coroners
to investigate when hospital patients die within
24 hours of being admitted or within 48 hours of
major surgery.
***
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
has shut down the IRS tax return preparer
regulation program, saying the Internal Revenue
Service had overstepped its authority by regulating
tax return preparers. Congress never gave the IRS
the authority to license tax preparers. The judges
order included an injunction that bars the IRS
from continuing its implementation of the RTRP
program.

Georgia and Washington have become the latest

Family launches probe into death of West Pittston doctor
A team of lawyers will investigate the
death of 26-year-old Dr. Jennifer Sidari, the
family announced Wednesday.
At a press conference Wednesday after-
noon in front of the Sidari home on Mont-
gomery Avenue in West Pittston, the familys
attorney, Matt Casey, read
a prepared statement about
the investigation into
Sidaris death.
Dr. Jennifer Sidari
loved dearly and was
loved by the people in the
house behind me more
than words can express,
Casey said. She was a
frst-born daughter, a big sister, a future wife
and mother, a future community and likely
national leader. And in her name, those who
loved her are determined to fgure out why
shes no longer with us. Were not going to
let them down.
Casey was fanked by Sidaris father, Peter,
and attorney Robert Gillespie.
Casey said there were two reasons for the
public announcement: To let people knowthe
Sidari family cannot speak to anyone about
the matter in light of the investigation, and
secondly, that the probe will get to the bot-
tom of what happened to her.
Casey said anyone with information about
Sidaris death should contact me. He
said no conclusions have been drawn about
Sidaris death or the medical care she re-
ceived.
Sidari died May 29, 18 days after graduat-
ing from The Commonwealth Medical Col-
lege in Scranton. An autopsy was performed.
The investigation will be methodical and
deliberate, Casey said. It will be thorough.
Peter Sidari did not offer any comments
and Casey declined to elaborate on any de-
tails of the probe, including whether a trip to
Haiti is planned.
Sidari had recently returned from Haiti,
and her father said his daughter made her
mark during the medical-aid trip.
Im sure her time in Haiti will be looked
at extensively, Casey said. If the investiga-
tion determines there were deviations from
the professional standard of care in the case,
Casey said he will demand accountability
by bringing the full weight and authority of
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania to bear on these issues.
Casey assembled a world-class team of
medical experts to analyze every test and
radio-graphic image of Sidari, he said. We
will assess in every respect whether every-
thing that should have been done was done.
Dr. Jennifer Sidari died 18 days
after receiving medical degree

OUROPINION
Its still
your Dispatch
There have been changes in your Sun-
day Dispatch.
We know because we made them.
We also know because youve told us.
Sometimes with compliments but more
often with complaints. Thats okay. We
know all the comments and suggestions
we receive are simply because you love
your local paper. And we aim to keep it
that way.
But this isnt about the changes youve
noticed, or the ones that are about to
come. Its about all the things in your
Sunday Dispatch that have not changed,
the most important of which is that,
while we no longer print it on page one,
we are still very much a newspaper
written for, by and about Greater Pittston
people.
In short, its still YOUR Dispatch.
And as such, we are taking this op-
portunity to remind you that we value
your input.
One way is by reserving a position,
on this very page, we call Your Space.
We solicit your photos for this spot.
Almost any photo you take that you fnd
interesting we know our readers will fnd
interesting. And keep in mind, we love it
when you take a copy of the Dispatch on
vacation and snap your family holding it
while posing near a landmark, a couple
of kids holding a Dispatch in front of
Cinderellas castle, for example.
With the summer upon us, we will be
resuming a regular feature about local
gardens. If you have a garden veg-
etable or fower you are particularly
proud of, contact Joe Healey (570-602-
0170, jhealey at psdispatch.com) and let
him know. Well arrange to send some-
one out for photos and a story.
An item in todays meetings and briefs
section (begins on page 23) brought a
smile to our faces. It always does.
The Pittston Tomato Festival Commit-
tee is meeting this week. While the last
thing we want to do is wish the summer
away, each year we simply cannot wait
for the Tomato Festival to arrive.
In the meantime, well satisfy our-
selves with all the other festivals and in
between, eat as much ice cream as we
can handle, that dreaded headache and
all.
YOUR SPACE
Sunday Dispatch employees heard knocking on a back window of the Dispatch building on Wednesday afternoon. Turns out it was a pile-
ated woodpecker, one of the largest in North America, pecking at a glass window.
The crow-sized bird inhabits deciduous forests in the eastern part of the continent, according to a quick Internet search. They eat mostly
insects, especially carpenter ants and wood-boring beetle larvae.
The bird was later seen pecking at a utility pole across the street from the New Street headquarters of the Dispatch.
These woodpeckers have a large population size and, despite being non-migratory, are protected under the U.S. Migratory Bird Act. Due
to the considerable damage that pileated woodpeckers can do to trees, some people may consider them harmful if found on their property.
Dispatch staffers Joe Healey and Judy Minsavage enjoyed the birds visit as new staff member Nick Wagner took some photos.

This pileated woodpecker was caught knocking on a back window of the Sunday Dispatch building one day last week.
Cancer patient seeks help with study
You have cancer are some of the most frightening words I
have ever heard. Although I am winning my personal battle against
cancer, I still need your help.
If I told you that there was a way you could personally do some-
thing to help prevent others from facing cancer, would you? Would
you do it if it meant that you would simply have to give a small
blood sample, have your waist measured and fll out some surveys
about your lifestyle and behaviors?
If your answer is YES, then please accept my invitation to par-
ticipate in the American Cancer Societys latest grassroots research
initiative, Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). CPS-3 is designed to
help better understand the lifestyle, environmental and genetic fac-
tors that cause or prevent cancer and to ultimately eliminate cancer
as a major health problem.
Here is what you can do: men and women who are willing to
make a long-term commitment to the study who are between the
ages of 30 and 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer can
enroll in CPS-3.
At enrollment, you will simply fll out a brief survey about your
health history, provide a small blood sample (to be collected by
trained phlebotomists) and have your waist measured. Your long-
term commitment to the study means you are willing to complete
a more comprehensive survey at home and you agree to complete
periodic follow-up surveys sent to your home approximately every
four years for the next 20 to 30 years.
To enroll: Report to the Relay For Life of Wyoming Valley at
Kings College Betzler Fields across from Wegmans in Wilkes-
Barre between noon and 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 15 .
The process takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This
study will be held under the CPS 3 tent and will be held rain or
shine.
As a cancer survivor, I cannot participate in this study. In memory
of my late sister, Susan Wildes, it is my personal goal to enroll 50
participants; one for every year that she lived. The entire goal for
this venue is 148 enrollees.
If you are one of the many individuals who flled out an interest
form indicating your desire to participate, this is just a reminder for
you to join us for this study. I hope that you will choose to enroll in
this historic study in honor or in memory of a loved one.
If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact Jen-
nifer Washney at the American Cancer Society at562-9749, exten-
sion 320 or by email at [email protected].

MOTHER S DAZE
Over some rainbow
There have been so many natural disasters lately, Im
beginning to wonder if were looking down the barrel
at Armageddon.
After the casualties of the most recent calamity, I be-
gan to question what I would do should a tornado come
whirling out of nowhere, catching us all off guard, and
rudely pulling up my home by its roof. No doubt Id
probably be on the toilet when it happens.
I wondered: if I had only a fve-minute warning and
my family and photos were safely evacuated, what
would I then save from my home? What if, like Doro-
thy, I was uprooted and unceremoniously jettisoned
skyward?
Dorothy found herself in Oz, sporting a sweet pair
of glitzy red pumps, so she really didnt need anything
elsebut what would she have saved, if she could? She
was a simple farm girl, so she wouldve probably just
grabbed a cow by the utter, the butter churner and Toto.
Before a catastrophe struck, the frst thing I would
make sure I had on my person is my mothers wedding
band.
When she was in her fnal phase of liver cancer, I
was with my mother pretty much all day, every day,
because my father was also in the hospital at the time.
Cancer had spread to her brain at that point and it was
rare that she and I could have a cognizant conversation
about anything other than medication and the fact I
couldnt wheel her through a doorway without slam-
ming her elbows into the wall. (She hated that).
At this point, she was 90 pounds and her wedding
band kept falling off.
Finally, she handed it to me and said, Just keep it.
I didnt then, because it felt wrong to keep an item
she wouldnt remember she gave me an hour later.
After she passed away, my father agreed I should
have the wedding band. I have not removed it since.
It was with me when I was diagnosed with breast
cancer, during surgeries and when I took my frst born
to college shortly thereafter. I held tight to it as my hus-
band lost his job, lost his cousin to cancer and started
his own business.
Its my talisman and I wont ever let it go. Some-
times I pray to it, sometimes I talk to it, but mostly I
just completely cherish it.
Ring in hand, the next order of business would be
to grab a bottle of vanilla vodka. Is that wrong? I just
think I would need it more than, say, my china, after a
tornado hit.
Im just being real, man.
I asked my 15 year-old what he would quickly seize
if a tornado was fast approaching. His only response
was food. I stated, sarcastically,
that his choice was heart-tugging
and sentimental and he replied, A
kids gotta eat, Maria. Its impor-
tant. Cant really argue with Patrick-logic.
My 18 year-old son stated, Welllltheres really
nothing I would save. I mean, isnt everything, like,
replaceable?
I barked at him that some things just are not. Lis-
ten, he reasoned, as long as I get an insurance check
that gives me the money to buy new stuff, I really
wouldnt care
Good God. This boy can be bought for about a buck
ffty.
I tested my husband. I asked him the same query,
but didnt pose the caveat of all people being safe and
sound. Do you know what his answer was? NOTH-
ING! He said he would save NOTHING! Including,
one could ascertain, me. Well, how about his stupid
golf clubs?
My son piped up, Momhe always keeps those
in the trunk of the car just in case hes passing a golf
course. I fumed. Thats where they may fnd his body
someday, too.
My daughter, when asked, frst demanded to be as-
sured the dogs would be safe. I reminded her this was
simply a hypothetical question. She wasnt having it.
If those dogs dont make it out of the house before that
tornado hits, heads are going to roll! I promised the
dogs would be safe. Well, in that case, I would save
the necklace Grampa gave me for high school gradua-
tion.
What necklace?
Grammas opal necklace! I have it on right now. It
brings me good luck. I had forgotten. She graduated
shortly after my mother died and my father gave her
this necklace. My mothers circuitous precious metals
were everywhere, wrapping us both in memories and
love.
Dorothy had her shoes, the Tin Man, Lion and
Scarecrow, plus, my ancestors, the Munchkins of the
Lollipop Guild. She also had the Wizard and all the in-
habitants of Oz. Who cares? All she wanted was Auntie
Em and the farm.
Well, the fact is that if everyone we love has made it
out alive, theres really nothing else we need. But if
I lost my mothers ring, it would be like losing a limb.
Its the only thing that has a tenuous hold from me to
her, in this world or not.
I can feel her beating heart when I wear it, I can see
her right in front of me. And her name? Dorothy.
We may not be in Kansas anymore, but we are wher-
ever our hearts reside: home.

NUTRI TI ON
Does milk really
contain sugar?
Reading the food label can be a challenge.
Often folks ask me why they dont make milk
without the sugar.
In the eyes of a nutritionist, milk continues
to be the drink of choice next to water. It has
protein, vitamins and minerals. It is, however,
bothersome to see on the food label, 11 grams
of sugar in an eight ounce glass of skim milk.
USDAdefnes sugar on the food label
to include table sugar, milk sugar and fruit sugar. Table sugar is
sucrose, the food item that can cause cavities. The sugar naturally
found in milk is lactose, a disaccharide, meaning it has two parts to
it, glucose and galactose. Lactose intolerance occurs when there is
insuffcient lactase an enzyme, to break it down, causing GI distress.
Like sucrose, a fellow disaccharide, lactose is broken down and
sent to the liver to be converted to glucose.
The third sugar is fructose, natures sugar, which is found in fruit.
Fructose is a monosaccharide, which doesnt need to be broken
down.
Naming all these sugars may be a bit confusing. Its important to
note that all sugars are equal in respect to calories, but its the other
nutrients that come with sugar that boost some to the top of the list.
Milk has calcium, a mineral which is needed by all ages. Check
out the chart below to see how much you need every day.
Calcium needed by your body every day
Age 1-3 - 500 milligrams per day
Age 4-8 - 800 milligrams per day
Age 9-18 - 1300 milligrams per day
Adult - 1,000 milligrams per day
Over 51 - 1,200 milligrams per day
One eight-ounce glass of milk contains 300 mg of calcium.
Whole, 2 percent, 1 percent or skim milk all has the same amount
of calcium, protein, vitamins and minerals. They only vary in fat
content.
Milk can be enjoyed throughout the year. When its hot outside,
turn a regular glass of milk into a frozen drink. Here is a great recipe
that uses a blender.
Fruit Milk Shakes
1 cup skim milk
2 bananas or 2 cups of your favorite fruit
1 teaspoon vanilla
10 large ice cubes
Place the following foods together in a blender. Blend for 30
seconds to 1 minute. Hint: Peel and freeze bananas that are turning
brown. Use them in this recipe to make it even creamier.

Hughestown councilwoman, recreation chair thankful for Mericle in the Park
When we reached out to Robert
Mericle of Mericle Commercial
Real Estate for assistance with
Phase 2 improvements at Robert
Yaple Memorial Park, they had no
idea they would get a Mericle in
the form of Robert Mericle.
Beginning on Memorial Day
with the resurfacing and restrip-
ing of the basketball courts, Rob
Mericle and his dedicated em-
ployees and their families pumped
fnancial and human resources
into revitalizing and improving the
park.
Phase 1 of the new playground
was completed in 2010 with the
installation of 12 new pieces of
equipment.
The tennis courts will be com-
pletely redone and on June l, the
Mericle employees installed new
playground equipment to enhance
the already wonderful playground
area.
Additionally, they will add
mulch, upgrade the walking track,
install signage, receptacles and
grills.
On behalf of the children and
families of Hughestown, we thank
Robert Mericle and his Mericle
family of employees for bringing
smiles to the faces of our children.
We invite everyone to come out
and enjoy the wonderful upgraded
and improved park.
Hughestown Proud!

Pi ttston Downtown Arts Center
Take just one step into the former
St. Casimirs Church in Pittston
and youll understand why Gina
Malsky and Applause Threatre
cant wait for the the curtain to rise.
It was 17 months ago that Mal-
sky dipped into her pocket and
purchased a second church with a
plan to renovate the parish and turn
it into the Pittston Downtown Arts
Center.
When the Pittston Downtown
Arts Center opens, the new center
will be similar to Malskys Down-
town Arts Center on North Frank-
lin Street in Wilkes-Barre, formerly
the First United Methodist Church,
which is soon to celebrate its sixth
anniversary. That building is home
to several small renters, from pot-
ters to fundraisers for non-profts.
The plan for Pittston is still in
place and, after several attempts to
get the building up to code, Malsky
and the Applause Threater hope to
tackle Act 1 by July. The center is
set to be fnished by the end of this
month with a July gala already in
the works.
But Malsky is still waiting on
one thing - a little more cash fow.
Malsky knows the theater wont
bring in mega bucks, but will be
more like a non-proft. So shes
waiting on a phone call from some-
one to add their name in front of
Downtown Arts Center. She ex-
plained it as a Your Name Here
Downtown Arts Center.
Ive been trying to fnd some-
body to get a name on the build-
ing because the sad part about it is
that this is not a business that will
generate a lot of income, she said.
Its only going to better the city.
Curtain soon to rise on arts center
A view
from the
balcony
at the
Down-
town Arts
Center
provides

the spa-
ciousness
of the for-
mer St.
Casimirs
Church.

Were drowning before we even
open but we have no option but to
open. We really need a business, or
family, not to purchase the build-
ing, but to support it.
A brand new stage has already
taken the place of the altar. New
safety and emergency procedures
are in place.
But before the former church
opens, there is still a lot of work to
do.
Were really way behind from
our original plans, Malsky said.
You dont want to say its anyones
fault. I could have thrown in the
towel and walked away.
Applause Theater is an incorpo-
rated non-proft organization that
relies solely on donations.
Once the Pittston building opens,
it will serve as the theaters home.
So, for a number of arts lovers,
this is a process that must get going
quickly to hear some applause.
Everyone will be thrilled once
the doors are open, Malsky said.
Applause has worked really
hard.
The grand opening for the center
was set to take place last October
with Applause Threater presenting
The Wizard of Oz in November,
Those plans were quickly dashed
when the city changed code of-
fcers and Malsky was forced to
push back the opening day.
One problem Malsky ran into
was the lack of a handicapped
bathroom on the frst level of the
building. Some $15,000 later, the
Downtown Arts Center has a hand-
icap accessible bathroom.
Malkys journey started just two
days after her house was fooded
back in September 2011.
Her bid for St. Casimirs Church
was fnalized. It was hers. It was a
big undertaking, but this was a vi-
sion that Malsky said downtown
Pittston needed.
Its defnitely been a group ef-
fort, she said. People are really
excited for this.
In Wilkes-Barre, its great,
Malsky said.
Its an old church; we didnt
have to do renovations. We kept
the pews and gutted the altar and
used the stage. Its a little different
here.
When the Downtown Arts Cen-
ter opens later this summer, Ap-
plause Theater will be the sole oc-
cupant.
We just need someone to inject
us with a little cash, Malsky said.
If you like it, then you should put
your name on it.

tionship, Lombardo said.
The two, who rarely use their
frst names when referring to each
other, call each other Sis.
The twins decided to attend
college at the University of Notre
Dame, but this time theyll be apart
for the frst time in their lives, albeit
the same college and same goal.
One is majoring in psy-
chology and the other in his-
tory. But we both want to go
to law school, Catherine said.
Michael Lombardo said parent-
ing is never easy, especially with
twins. They were born 14 minutes
apart back in 1994, but Lombardo
said theres no seniority.
Like anything else, its always
about fnding a balance, Lombar-
do said. You hear, Thats not fair
and it gets complicated. The play-
ing feld is totally different.
Austin and Kyle Kostelansky of
Pittston, who are identical twins,
admitted to using the ole switcha-
roo on a teacher or two in school.
No one would notice, Kyle
said. We would just swap around
and the teacher would just be clue-
less. Wed swap seats, and when
they fnally catch on, its after the
bell.
Luckily, they said, their parents,
Ron and Lori, never forced them to
dress the same.
Were not that crazy, Austin
said.
Identical twins share the same
DNAbut do not have the same fn-
gerprints.
Tiana and Taylor Stull Saporitio
of Jenkins Township, also identical
twins, dress the same all the time.
We only fooled one substitute
teacher, Tiana laughed. Were
not going to use names because
shes here now.
Joe and Jillian Starinsky of Av-
oca enjoy joking around with each
other. When asked if they get along,
Joe responded no and Jillian shot
back hes not nice.
Marina and Michael Sell of
Pittston said they are fraternal
twins.
Were twins but we look differ-
ent, Michael said. Were the op-
posite of identical twins.
Identical twins form when a
single fertilized egg splits into two
and often look so similar it can be
diffcult to tell them apart. Frater-
nal twins develop from two sepa-
rate fertilized eggs and are no more
alike than individual brothers or
sisters born at different times.
But the bond is strong.
Blase and Michael Twardowski
of Pittston Township, fraternal
twins, will both be attending LCCC
in the fall, but Blase will study
graphic design and Michael will
study audio recording technology.
Adam Chopyak is 15 minutes
older than his twin sister, Alicia.
Im going to college, what are
you doing, Alicia asked her broth-
er. Im up for whatever happens,
he responded.
In 1973, a class totaling 89 se-
niors, the former St. Johns High
School graduated three sets of
twins: Robert and Barbara Kirk,
Joseph and George Sharkey and
Mary Ann and Joseph Petro.
Pittston Area Principal John
Haas said hes noticed the twins
growth. He said they arrive very
dependent on each other as fresh-
man, but become independent.
Theyre often each others best
friend, Haas said. As similar as
they are when they start and as they
move through high school, you see
them develop their own style and
rhythm. You see them grow into
individuals.
Family and friendship is very
important in Pittston Area, Haas
said.
Its one of the things were most
proud of, Haas said. Our twins
are amazing. All our graduates are
amazing.

Fly-Fight-Win
WA grad epitomizes Air Force Academy motto in overcoming cancer
Graduating from the Air Force
Academy as a second lieutenant is
hard as it is. But try and accomplish
that feat with Stage 2 of Hodgkins
Lymphoma.
Thats exactly what Wyoming na-
tive Phil Patchoski did over the last
four and a half years. In November
of 2010, Patchoski discovered a lump
under his arm. And after brushing it
off for several months, he fnally went
to a doctor where it was later deter-
mined that the AFAjunior was indeed
riddled with the cancer.
And now he can call himself an Air
Force Academy graduate.
It was a long four years, he said.
Its been long and just
being able to get through
all the stuff is one of the
best feelings I ever had.
Its a wonderful self-ac-
complishment.
Patchoski received his
second lieutenant status at
the Air Force Academys
annual commencement on
May 29. It marked the cul-
mination of a long, hard
battle.
Stage 2 of the disease
has a 95 percent chance
of survival. So Patchoski
said he wasnt exactly
worried about that. The
fve percent that die from
the cancer typically do so
years after the disease is
discovered. But what he
was worried about was his
education.
Questions ran through the head of
the 2009 Wyoming Area graduate.
Would I be able to stay? How will
it affect my grades? How am I going
to tell my parents? When and how
would the chemo affect me? he said.
You can imagine his anxiety.
I knew I wasnt going to go home
without the Air Force telling me I
needed to. I was going to do as much
as I can.
Patchoski had two options. One, he
could head back to Northeast Penn-
sylvania, which was in his parents
best interest. Or he could remain in
school, and go for his chemotherapy
there. The Air Force Academy of-
fered Patchoski a semester off. When
all was said and done, he decided to
stay in school.
He was diagnosed in June of 2011.
And Patchoski said it wasnt until a
September parents weekend that his
parents, Caroline and Philip E. Pa-
tchoski would be able to see himsince
being diagnosed with the disease.
They supported me, he said. I
was like, Thats not going to happen.
You guys will see me soon. I told
them thats when they would see me
and everything is going to be fne.
Patchoski knows that he couldnt
have done this without the help of his
peers at the Air Force Academy. ASC
Major Romney Scheirer was by his
side the entire way, taking him to and
from chemo for an 8-month period, as
was Master Sergeant Steve Morris.
But it wasnt just those two.
Every time Patchoski returned
from chemotherapy, his
fellow airmen would not
probe him about anything,
he said. They made it a
point to not draw any at-
tention to it.
When I was around
them we just laughed and
joked about it, he said.
Patchoski will head to
VandenbergAir Force base
in California, where hell
serve as a missile offcer.
His original plan was to be
a pilot. But he cant until
hes offcially in remission.
He said his plan now is to
look into becoming an Air
Force Offcer of Special
Investigations. He called it
the NCIS of the Air Force.
I lost interest in being a
pilot after my sophomore
year, he said. Im look-
ing forward to this step.
Patchoski was declared cancer-free
on Feb. 17 of last year. It was two
weeks after his 21st birthday. He has
had three cat scans since last February
that have shown nothing remotely
close to the disease.
Go celebrate, I thought, he said.
The Air Force adopted a new motto
in 2010 and it sure seems to ft the re-
cent graduate: Aimhigh Fly-Fight-
Win.
Patchoski aimed high when making
the life-altering decision to continue
his education. He few as a Falcon of
the Air Force Academy. He fought a
crippling disease for eight months,
leaving nothing stand in his way. And
now he has won.

Pittston buys bandshell with help of donations
Pittston City takes the stage, so
to speak.
Donations from the Tomato Fes-
tival Committee and Leadership
Wilkes-Barre allowed Pittston to
purchase its own stage and band-
shell to be used for city events such
as the Tomato Festival and Second
Friday.
Weve been talking about this
for a while, said Councilman
Mike Lombardo. We used to bor-
row Wilkes-Barres, but we decid-
ed, lets just get our own.
The new aluminum stage is actu-
ally a 1976 model purchased from
Bucks County at an online auction.
The price tag: $12,500, signifcant-
ly less than the cost of a new one,
which runs $150,000.
They kept it in really good
shape, Lombardo said. After the
paint job, it looks practically brand
new.
When not scheduled for use
for city events, the 44-foot-long
Showmobile could be rented to
other towns, churches or organiza-
tions in need. A rental agreement
with fee schedule is available on-
line at pittstoncity.org.
We wanted to buy it because we
knew looking forward, we planned
more outdoor events and concerts,
Lombardo said.
The Tomato Festival donated
$5,000 and a regional arm of
Leadership Wilkes-Barre, donated
$2,500 and manpower, KME in
Nesquehoning donated the letter-
ing and N&B Enterprises painted
it with an automobile paint at a re-
duced rate. It was really a commu-
nity effort, Lombardo said.
The bandshell will get its debut
this Friday as Pittston celebrates
Second Friday downtown.
It will also be used for the debut
Peculiar Music Festival in Jeffer-
son Park from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
on Saturday, June 22. The event is
a fundraiser to help in the restora-
tion of the park. Peculiar Culinary
Company and the City of Pittston
are sponsors. The daylong event
will feature music, food and fam-
ily fun.
A Fourth of July Celebration is
being held by Perspective Church
and the Tomato Festival is sched-
uled for Thursday, Aug. 15 to Sun-
day, Aug. 18.
The stage will be kept in the
citys DPW yard when not in use
and will be delivered by city work-
ers.
Well have complete control
over it, Lombardo said. He said
it fts in to what the City is trying
to do. Were targeting quality of
life issues, bringing in arts, music
and nightlife, Lombardo said. It
brings an energy to the downtown.

HOLY ROSARY SCHOOL
TONY CALLAIO PHOTOS/FOR THE SUNDAY DISPATCH
A special banner was made on behalf of Kathy Gilmartin, principal of Holy Rosary school in Duryea to mark her last week as principal.
A FOND FAREWELL
K
athy Gilmartin was greeted
with little fanfare when she
frst stepped onto the grounds
at Duryeas Holy Rosary
School nearly three decades ago.
Now, 27 years later, a farewell re-
ception held in her honor last Sunday
included a greeting line that wrapped
around the gymnasium and spilled out
through its doors.
Just one act of appreciation from the
community she presided over for so
long.
The afternoon luncheon reception was
the beginning of a week-long celebration
which honored Gilmartin and celebrated
her tenure as an educator at Holy Rosary
as she moves on to become the Diocese
of Scrantons assistant superintendent.
Its an honor for me and its an honor
for the people, too, Gilmartin said. Be-
cause the way I turned out is a direct re-
sult of the 27 years Ive been here.
Gilmartin got her start teaching fourth
grade in 1986 the same year her daug-
ter began attending Holy Rosary. After
moving on to seventh and eighth grade
for a short time, Gilmartin eventually
took over in 2001 as principal. The rest,
as they say, is history.
Ive been very blessed to be in the
same place for 27 years, she said. Ive
gotten to know these families and they
are like family to me.
Many of those families were on hand
last week exchanging handshakes and
hugs with Gilmartin as they wished her
the best in the next chapter of her career
journey.
At the same time, many of those same
families saw plenty of changes in lo-
cal Catholic education as several area
schools shut their doors.
As area schools were closing and fam-
ilies were scrambling to seek other op-
tions, Gilmartin made sure that any child
moving onto Holy Rosary felt comfort-
able and welcome. She orchestrated
shadowing days to allow students and
families to see what a day at Holy Ro-
sary was like, and allowed new transfers
to wear their former schools uniform
during their frst year.
She embodies the Catholic spirit,
said Candice Lee, Gilmartins successor
as principal. When we went through the
reorganization, she was a driving force
to keep as many schools open as she
Duryea school says good-bye to longime principal Kathy Gilmartin
Kathy Gilmartin was crowned at her good-bye
celebration.

THE SUNDAY DISPATCH
ARailRiders makeover
Social media can have its perks.
And for the Avoca/Dupont Little
League, Facebook was just the
beginning of the blessing the or-
ganization got from the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
Front offce personnel, along
with the grounds crew at PNC
Field, worked all day Monday on
the Adopt-a-Field program to reno-
vate the Stanley M. Swanek Memo-
rial Field. The day culminated with
a game following a ribbon-cutting
ceremony.
Its really nice for the RailRid-
ers to put an interest in helping the
community, said Avoca/Dupont
Little League president Joe Fritz.
At one time, you can sort of say
they didnt do this. Now theyre
showing that theyre willing to give
back to the community.
The ADLL entered a contest
sponsored by the RailRiders on
Facebook a few months back. The
rules were simple. Submit a photo
of your feld and the top four photos
with the most Likes would get a
visit from the RailRiders to turn a
feld around.
It just so happens that the ADLL
got 849 votes or Likes and was
treated to an all-day feld makeover,
thanks to the RailRiders.
Lori Bogetti, who is in charge of
the feld maintenance at the Little
League feld, was overwhelmed
with the amount of support her pho-
to got on Facebook. She said people
from all over the world were liking
the photo.
We got 849 Likes all togeth-
er, she said Monday while watch-
ing the grounds crew work on the
feld. For me, this is just such a
great thing for our family and the
organization. Its fantastic that these
people take time out of their day to
do this.
Bogetti and Fritz spend much
of their time working on the feld.
However, the means to properly fx
the feld were never available until
the RailRiders intervened.
Its really nice that they put their
time in and work on a feld, Fritz
said. We can work on it but they
have the machinery and the tools to
get it done much quicker.

keeper Steve Horne, a host of front

Matthews an alternate for U.S. Open
Brandon Matthews, a Pittston
Area graduate and current Temple
University freshman, thought he
had qualifed for the 113th U.S.
Open after making a miraculous
par on the 36th hole of sectional
qualifying Monday.
Matthews buried a wedge from
just off the green to fnish his day
with a 2-under-par 139. Unfor-
tunately for the Dupont native,
Gavin Hall, a 3-time New York
junior amateur champion, passed
Matthews after birdies on his fnal
four holes.
Matthews settled for frst al-
ternate after rounds of 72 at Old
Oaks Country Club and 67 at
Century. He will be able to hit
practice balls and chip and putt
next week at Merion Golf Club in
Ardmore while, hopefully, getting
the call to replace a starter in the
U.S. Open.
Alternates are put into two
groups, according to the USGA.
If an exempt player withdraws
from the Open, his replacement
comes from a sectional consid-
ered the toughest by the USGA.
If a qualifer leaves the feld, his
successor is an alternate from the
same sectional.
So far, 150 of the 156 spots
have been flled. There are up to
six places reserved for players
from the top 60 in the Offcial
World Golf Ranking on June 10.
If fewer than six players earn
exemptions from the next World
Golf Ranking update, alternates
from sectional qualifying will fll
the remaining spots in the feld.
Matthews won the Atlantic 10
Rookie of the Year.
After fring his 72 in the open-
ing round of the day at Old Oaks
Country Club, Matthews struck
fre with three birdies and an eagle
on holes six through 10 of his f-
nal round of the day.
His day fnished with a shot
everyone is still talking about - a
58-degree wedge that found the
hole. And at that point, Matthews
thought he was in.

hole at Century Country Club in Purchase, N.Y.

Old Forge advances to PIAA seminals
District 2 champion Blue Devils will meet District 4 champion Canton Monday
O
ld Forge used all facets
of the game pitch-
ing, defense, base-run-
ning and both clutch
and situational hitting to reach
the Pennsylvania Interscholastic
Athletic Association Class A state
semifnals for the second time in
fve seasons.
The Blue Devils, who won a
state title in 1992, were eliminated
in the semifnals in 2009 after win-
ning two state tour-
nament games.
Old Forge made
it back to the state
semifnals by beat-
ing District 11
champion Tri-Val-
ley, 4-3, Monday
in Pine Grove and
District 1 runner-up
Devon Prep, 4-0,
Thursday in Easton.
The District 2
champion Blue
Devils will meet
District 4 champion
Canton Monday
with a chance to
make it to Friday
mornings PIAA championship
game at Penn States Medlar Field.
Dave Chromey struck out 13
while walking just one in a six-
hitter Monday.
Derek Drasba then threw a one-
hitter Thursday.
Both kids pounded the strike
zone, Old Forge coach Tony Di-
Mattia said in a telephone inter-
view. They kept hitters, for the
most part, off-balance.
What it really came down to
is who got the big hit in the right
spot.
Old Forges defense joined the
pitchers in helping to prevent that
from happening for Tri-Valley and
Devon Prep.
That combination of pitching
and defense has allowed the Blue
Devils to shut out seven opponents
and hold six others to three runs or
fewer while going 15-3 in league
and playoff games. The defense
was particularly on display Thurs-
day.
We made three or four plays on
balls that were kind of in-between-
ers, DiMattia said.
One of those plays came with the
game still scoreless when Devon
Prep had the bases loaded with two
out in the top of the third inning af-
ter Drasba walked two batters and
hit one.
Playing deep, shortstop Brenden
Wahl made his way back into the
triangle between himself, the left
felder and the third baseman, to
make the inning-ending catch.
He caught in, not in short left-
center feld,
but in legit
l e f t - c e nt e r
feld, Di-
Mattia said.
Wahl also
made a tough
play on a
groundball up
the middle to
start the sev-
enth inning.
Third base-
man Mike
Vieira made
a long run to
track down
one foul pop
and frst base-
man Robert Donovan made a slid-
ing catch at the fence to end the
game.
Vieira and Warren Welsh each
had two hits in Mondays state tour-
nament opener, but both wins were
more about moving runners and
coming up with timely hits.
The Blue Devils were tied going
into the top of the seventh inning
against Tri-Valley.
Welsh led off with a double,
made it to third on an Anthony Pic-
colini sacrifce bunt and scored on
a Vieira sacrifce fy into foul terri-
tory down the right-feld line.
Old Forge did not manage any
offense in Thursdays quarterfnal
until getting a run on one hit in the
fourth inning.
Vieira led off with a single,
moved to second on a bunt, stole
third on the next pitch and scored
on a Steve Mascaro groundout to
short.
Matt Mancuso doubled in two
runs in the ffth inning and Vieira
added the last run on a straight steal
of home, the second time this sea-
son that the Blue Devils pulled off
that feat.
Donovan, the other player to
steal home this season, doubled
and stole third to start the three-run
ffth.
The Old Forge softball team also
won the District 2 Class A title to
advance into state play but was
eliminated in Mondays opening
round with a 5-1 loss to Northeast
Bradford.

Jake Granteed pitches for Wyoming Area last Sunday during the Field of Dreams Game at PNC Field.
FRED ADAMS/ FOR THE SUNDAY DISPATCH
Warriors help make Field of Dream game tight
All three WA players in all star game
score in 5-run game-tying rally in 6th
The Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence bats got off to a slow start,
but Pittston Area coach Paul Zaf-
futo made sure the team never
slowed down on the bases.
Taking an aggressive approach,
the WVC forced an extra inning
before falling to the Lackawanna
League, 8-6, in eight innings June
2 in the frst Field of Dreams base-
ball all-star game at PNC Field.
Zaffuto and his staff coached
the WVC squad, which stole six
bases and beat out three infeld
singles to rally from a fve-run
defcit without producing an extra-
base hit.
Its nice to have speed on the
bases, Zaffuto said. Every guy
that got on, we said were going
to make them throw us out.
They didnt throw us out all
day.
All three Wyoming Area play-
ers in the game scored during the
fve-run bottom of the sixth inning
that allowed the WVC to force a
6-6 tie.
Jake Granteed got on with a
one-out infeld single. Trent Grove
followed by drawing a walk. Bart
Chupka reached on an infeld sin-
gle, driving in a run.
The rally created an exciting
fnish to a game that had the po-
tential to turn into a blowout early
when the Lackawanna League
scored three runs in the top of the
frst and two more in the second
for a 5-0 lead.
This is some of the most fun
Ive had all year, Zaffuto said.
The kids had a blast and so did I.

Jordan Houseman, the only Pa-
triot in the game, started at catcher.
He was 0-for-2 at the plate and stole
a base as a pinch runner in the game
that had liberal substitutions.
Zaffuto would like to see the frst-
year event for seniors continue.
I hope it does, he said. I only
had one guy on the team, but he
kept telling me, Coach, this is awe-
some.
Granteed led the strong Wyoming
Area contributions. He was the
frst WVC pitcher to shut down the
Lackawanna League, striking out
one while giving up one hit in the
scoreless third inning. At the plate,
Granteed singled and scored in his
only appearance.
Chupka, who played frst base,
was 1-for-3 with the RBI.
Grove, a catcher, was 0-for-2 with
the walk.
We had 20 guys on the team and
all 20 were players, Zaffuto said.
I asked them before the game that
no matter what happens, they just
hustle and give me everything that
they got. Stay in the game and stay
positive. And, they did it.
Berwicks Will Morales, the lead-
off hitter, stole two bases for the
WVC.
Scranton Preps Chris Gaetano
was 2-for-3 with a stolen base and
four runs scored to lead the Lacka-
wanna League. He tripled and
scored the winning run in the top of
the eighth inning on a single by Val-
ley Views Liam Callejas.

More than 90 golfers turn out for Cashmere Memorial
The 5
th
annual Brian Cashmere
Memorial Golf Tournament took
place June 1 at Blue Ridge Trail
Golf Club in Mountaintop. The an-
nual tournament is a fundraiser for
the Brian Cashmere Fund Scholar-
ship, awarded annually to a gradu-
ating senior from Pittston Area Se-
nior High School.
This years tournament was
the most successful to date. More
than 90 golfers participated, and
enjoyed great weather throughout
the day.
The winning team of Matt Pe-
drosky, Dan Mancini, Jim Lanza,
and Dan Troynacki took home the
championship trophy, turning in a
score of eleven under par.
After the golfers fnished their
round, there was a dinner and
award ceremony held at Blue
Ridge.
In addition to awarding the win-
ning golf team, the winner of the
2013 Brian Cashmere Fund Schol-
arship was introduced. This years
winner was Matt Carroll, of Avoca,
a graduating Pittston Area senior
who plans on attending the Univer-
sity of Pittsburgh in the fall.
Carroll has had several accom-
plishments while at Pittston Area,
most notably as captain of the var-
sity golf team, and a strong aca-
demic record throughout his four
years of high school.
This years scholarship award
was $8,000 for Carrolls tuition
costs while in college.
This is the third scholarship that
the Brian Cashmere Fund was able
to give, and it would not be pos-
sible without all of the support of
the Pittston Area community, espe-
cially the sponsors listed below.
The scholarship committee
would like to thank all of this
years participants, and sponsors
for the most successful tournament
yet.

els and work gloves. Curt Camoni,
the VP of baseball operations was
there. So was the Executive VP of
Business Operations, along with
ticket sales coordinators and other
executives.
It gets my front offce people
out and experience something they
dont normally do, Horne said.
Giving back to the community is
really important to us.
This is just one of four felds the
RailRiders will renovate throughout
the area. Last year, Horne and his
crew took on two felds.
We really had a positive re-
sponse last year, he said.
With the Avoca/Dupont feld,
Hornes crew faced challenges he
sees at almost every Little League
feld he works on. The crew spent
the majority of the morning shap-
ing the infeld and altering the lip of
the infeld. Workers also cut out the
mound and reshaped it.
With several loads of dirt,
Hornes crew also leveled out the
infeld.
Were just trying to bring a lit-
tle PNC Field to this feld, Horne
said. To be able to encourage kids
to come out and do something that
our group was a part of - thats all of
our goals.
Im very impressed, Bogetti
said. They are heart and soul. They
picked up garbage and are really
taking time to do this for the com-
munity. Their stadium is just so in-
credible now and for them to give
back to the community is just unbe-
lievable.
The RailRiders were on the road
Monday. However, Horne and his
staff needed to get back to work
with a game on Tuesday. Horne ad-
mitted there is always something to
do at PNCField. But this was a little
more important to him.
Were trying to give them some-
thing to take pride in, he said. Its
a big chance. Its a lifetime memo-
ry.

Saturday morning at the Duryea Little League feld was a time for
the youngsters to work on their craft.
Two teams took part in the tee ball festivities with no score being
kept.

ning, when a player reaches base, he or she is allowed to sprint all the
way around the bases and score.
As the season winds down, the players are enjoying their time on the
diamond every step of the way.

SPORTS BRI EFS
Both the U11 and U13 Valley
Laxerz teams concluded their frst
organized lacrosse season last week.
The U11 team completed its regu-
lar season with a record of 7-5.
The best showing of the year
came last Tuesday against a very
good and strong Mountain Top
team. The Laxerz spotted Mountain
Top a 7-2 lead in the third period but
came roaring back to capture a very
hard fought 8-7 win.
Matt Zasada played outstanding
in net, stopping a majority of hard
shots along the way. Contribut-
ing to the comback and scoring his
frst goal, Michael Mondlak tied the
game at seven in the fourth period.
First-year players Ray Sabatini,
Max Schwabe, Mike Mundlak,
Adam Kelly, Stone Magagna, Sal
Mansi, Michael Mondlak, Noah
Donahue, Chase Yochem, goalie
Matt Zasada, Gavin Lahart and Jack
Clancy joined Dominic Deluca,
Trent Hilbert and Jake Kozden in
making up the U11 team.
In the nightcap, the U13 team
completed its regular season with a
record of 8-3-2.
After scoring the frst two goals
of the game, the 13s let Mountain
Top back in the game and upended
the Laxerz, 9-3. This was the second
time this year that the 13s have ei-
ther been leading or tied with Moun-
tain Top only to see it slip away in
the second half.
This team is also set up with a
lot of frst-year players, including
Joe Gorman, Robbie Trottini, Ty-
ler Mackell, Conor McCormick,
Sam Greenfeld, Jacob Urban,

Scalzo, Peter Fox, Dominic Deluca,
Trent Hilbert and Jake Kozden.
The organization held a family
fun day on Saturday, June 1 at the

of a very successful frst year. In its
frst year, the Laxerz have made it
possible for 40 players in the Wyo-
ming and Pittston Areas to learn and
enjoy the game of lacrosse and look
to grow and expand on this number
next year.
Over the winter, the organization
will host play days to introduce the
game to those interested in playing
lacrosse. Dates and times will be
posted in the various media.

could fght for, she said.
Lee spent the past two years un-
der Gilmartin training as an admin-
istrative intern where she saw her
caring nature frst-hand.
The frst year they began work-
ing together happened to come dur-
ing one of the more trying times in
recent local history September
2011s record fooding. Lee recalled
the calmness in which Gilmartin
dealt with the disaster as well as her
poise in easing the concerns of chil-
dren and their families.
To see her dedication and her
commitment not only to Holy Ro-
sary but to Catholic education itself
is just inspiring, she said.
Now, Lee hopes to carry that
same demeanor into the beginnings
of her tenure.
Shes given me so much guid-
ance and so much confdence that
I can do the job, Lee said. Thats
just how she is. She brings the best
out in others.
Having been an educator for
so long, Gilmartin admitted that
the hardest part about moving on
will be the way students regularly
brightened her day.
When youre having a bad day
in school you just need to walk out
the door and fnd some kids and
theyll make sure you have a good
day, she said.
But Gilmartin isnt leaving edu-
cation all together. She begins her
new position at the Diocese of
Scranton this fall.
In an offcial statement, the Dio-
cese spoke highly of their new as-
sistant superintendent.
Her decades of service both as
a teacher and principal exemplify
what we hope all our educators to
be dedicated professionals who
enthusiastically embrace our mis-
sion of Catholic education, the
statement read.
We are grateful that the entire
Diocesan Catholic school system
will beneft from her talents.
As the school year winds down,
so did Gilmartins special week
with Kathy Gilmartin day on
Thursday and a special mass today.
Gilmartin said shes thrilled to
still be able to work in education
and affect the lives of children.
I have no doubt they will con-
tribute to the world, she said. In
the end, its they who have taught
me.

Elliot A. (Ace) Pellegrini
not gone to prom if it werent for
the unique outfts.
So how did the outfts come to-
gether? They wrapped their heads
around the idea and used cloth for
the base; bought tons of colored
tape online and some super glue
and they were set.
The patterns came from a local
fabric shop and even though the
outfts didnt measure up to a con-
ventional prom dress and tux, the
savings were substantial. It was
still cheaper to do my own outft,
said Stark, it only came to about
seventy-bucks.
Minnelli has since gone on to
Wilkes University and being it was
Starks senior year, she asked him
back to Wyoming Area to bond one
more time for prom. Last year was
such a hit; they thought they would
stick to the same idea.
This years theme: Vintage
1800s.
The couple has been in a rela-
tionship and feel that the duct tape
project has keep them adhesive for
year now. Graduating in just a few
short days, Rachael will now wrap
her head around the idea of going
to college in the fall where she will
stick her nose in the books at Mi-
sericordia University.

PEOPLE
PEEKING INTO
THE PAST
With Judy Minsavage
St. Casimirs
group reached
milestone in 56
Question #1:
By whom was
Pittston invaded in
1966?
1956 57 YEARS
AGO
Branch 25 of the
Lithuanian Womens
Alliance of St. Casimirs Church in
Pittston celebrated its 20th anniversa-
ry. Mary Katkowski and Ann Petru-
konis, of Pittston, were recognized for
their faithful service at a dinner to mark
the occasion. The rst American Lithu-
anian Roman Catholic Womens Alli-
ance was founded in 1914. The primary
role of the alliance was to head paro-
chial schools and establish institutions
of mercy, such as hospitals, orphanages,
and nursing homes.
The Jenkins Township High School
Diamond baseball team completed
one of the most successful seasons in
the schools history. Many fans were
sure they would long remember the
winning season. Members of the team
were James Houston, Jimmy Calla-
han, Chester Remas, William Hum-
ko, Guy DePascal, Andy Shultz, Al
Romanowski, Mike Griglock, Joe
Silenskie, Bill Timek, Bob Brannon.
Ed Seprish, Stan Gibbletts, Robert
Alexis and Bill Gaffney. Walter Mor-
ris was team coach.
1966 47 YEARS AGO
Mayor John B. Salek appealed to
many civic clubs and organizations in
Duryea Borough to help with the beau-
tication and maintenance of the Mosi-
er Cemetery. Pioneers from the Revo-
lutionary, Civil and Spanish American
American wars are buried at the site
which had fallen into disrepair over the
years. A meeting was set by the mayor
who requested one representative from
each society, church and organization
in the borough to attend. Log on to
http://www.pagenweb.org/~luzerne/
township/cemetery/mosier.htm to see
a listing of the names of those buried in
Mosier Cemetery.
Five city teachers received masters
degrees at the University of Scranton.
Marie Campenni received a degree in
Secondary Education, Mary Elizabeth
Connors was a recipient of a degree in
Secondary Administration and Supevi-
sion, James V. English received a Mas-
ter of Arts degree in History and Gov-
ernment, James A. Gilmartin earned
his degree in Secondary School Admin-
istration and Supervision and Edward
F. Hart received a degree in a correlat-
ed program of History and Education.
Question #2:
It is the custom of the Sunday Dis-
patch to publish the graduating class
photo of each area high school in its
annual graduation edition. However,
in 1976, what caused the Pittston Area
High School grads photo not to appear
in the special edition as did those for
Wyoming Area and St. Johns High
Schools?
1976 37 YEARS AGO
Over 450 children participated in the
Colonial Olympics, a community-wide
sponsored athletic event at Charley
Trippi Stadium. Youngsters from 5 to
18 years of age competed in sack races,
mile runs and even a hamburger-eating
contest. Proceeds from the event were
to benet the Coal Miner Statue Fund.
Pittston Area School District donated
the stadium, Wyoming Valley Track of-
cials volunteered to referee and Burg-
er King donated 350 hamburgers for
the eating contest. Art Fanelli, manag-
er of the Pittston Super Saver, donated
watermelons for an eating contest. Co-
charing the events were PAtrack coach-
es Joe Costello and Joe Orlando.
Bridgette Ristagno, Suzanne Peif-
er, Ellen Goham, Patrice Goham and
Rick Novak were the rst YMCA-spon-
sored synchronized swim team mem-
bers to compete out of state. Known
as the Catalinas, the team coached by
Linda Scaz performed at an event held
in Summit, NJ. Introduced in 1907,
Australian Annette Kellerman attract-
ed national attention at the New York
Hippodrome as the rst underwater
ballerina. In1975, the rst Masters Na-
tional Synchronized Swimming Cham-
pionship was held in Reading. The U.S.

1986 27 YEARS AGO
Mary Ann Ryzner and Mar-
tin Hanczyc reluctantly an-
nounced the end of the annual
Healey Park Summer Picnic. Ry-
zner, playground director, and
Hanczyc, playground chairman,
found it increasingly difcult
over the years to entice people
to staff the stands as well as pa-
tronize the picnic. The cancel-
lation left many in doubt of the
survival of the decades-old park.
Today, Healey Park is alive and
well in Duryea.
Answer 1:
Dressed in costumes, repre-
sentative of 1866, Plymouth res-
idents invaded Pittston by the
scores to invite members of the
community to their centennial
celebration. Former Pittston
resident Edward Burns, mayor
of Plymouth, arranged a motor-
cade to parade through Pittston,
then stop to personally invite
shoppers and business owners
to Plymouths 100th anniver-
sary celebration.
Answer 2:
William Watson Sr., editor
of the Sunday Dispatch, apolo-
gized to Pittston Area seniors
and their parents for the ab-
sence of their class photo in the
annual Sunday Dispatch gradu-
ation issue. He went on to say
its not our fault. The rented
caps and gowns were not deliv-
ered to the students until well
after the Dispatch publication
went to deadline. Watson prom-
ised the photo would appear in
the next issue.
The rung of a ladder was nev-
er meant to rest upon, but only to
hold a mans foot long enough to
enable himto put the other some-
what higher. - Thomas Henry
Huxley in an address to the stu-
dents of the Faculty of Medicine
at University College, London,
May 18, 1870, on the occasion
of the distribution of prizes for
the session.

FAITH
We, the Holy Rosary School community, would
like to take this opportunity to offer a huge debt
of gratitude and our most sincere appreciation to
our beloved principal, Ms. Kathleen Gilmartin.
Ms. Gilmartin has not only lead but also
shaped our school community into a marvelous
academic and faith lled environment. We honor
Ms. Gilmartin for her tireless efforts and endless
love for Holy Rosary School.
During her 27 years, she has been a teacher,
parent, principal, colleague, friend, condant
and much more to so many of us.
Ms. Gilmartins rst 15 years at Holy Rosary
School were spent in the classroom: rst teach-
ing fourth grade and then seventh grade.
She found her true passion when she became
the eighth-grade teacher.
Within those years, Ms. Gilmartin not only
taught math, but wrote the narration for the
Eighth Grade Nativity and Living Stations that
we treasure to this day. She also lovingly began
many of the eighth-grade traditions that we con-
tinue today.
In 2001, Ms. Gilmartin traded in her black-
boards and red pens to become principal.
As principal, the daily routine which she tire-
lessly and successfully took on was often redi-
rected.
She guided us with nite vision, condence
and faith through 9/11, two moves, the reorgani-
zation of the diocesan school system, the rebuild-
ing of our school following the ood of 2011, all
the while showing us that through Marys wis-
dom, we can be made stronger.
Her personal challenges have been met with
grace, always knowing that her school family was
there for her, as she has always been for us.
Ms. Gilmartin has exemplied the true mean-
ing of our Christian values and faith in both her
words and through her actions.
Ms. Gilmartin has accepted a position as the
Assistant Superintendent of Schools for the Dio-
cese of Scranton and, while we will miss her kind
and generous ways, we know she is moving on
to a position where she will strengthen Catholic
education not just for Holy Rosary School, but
for the entire Diocese of Scranton System.
We could not be more proud!
Best of luck to you, Ms. Gilmartin, as you be-
gin this new journey in your professional life.
You will always have a home, and family, at
Holy Rosary School.
We love you, Ms. Gilmartin, and will always
