Despite how it felt, gradu-
ates, what you just went
through at your respective high
schools was not an end at all
but a beginning. Thats why
they call it commencement.
You should spend some time
thinking about that, maybe a
minute, because just thinking
about this beginning in your life
wont get the job done. Its time
for action.
If you do want to devote a bit
of thought to the situation,
however, consider this: begin-
nings are far greater than end-
ings. Beginnings are fresh.
Beginnings are exciting. Begin-
nings, by their very definition,
are new.
Beginnings, if you do them
right, are filled with promise,
filled with hope.
Let that sink in.
Good. Now get busy. You
have work to do.
Theres a great line in a song
from the Broadway show A
Chorus Line a song whose
title Id rather not mention here,
but you can look it up that
can help you get started. It goes
like this: Keep the best of you,
fix the rest of you.
Thats what you need to be
doing. And right now, as in
immediately.
I suggest grabbing a pen and
a legal pad, or just a sheet of
paper. Draw a vertical line
down the center. On one side,
jot down all the things you
really like about yourself; on
the other, the things you dont.
Which brings me to a habit you
must acquire, if you havent
already: the habit of being hon-
est with yourself. If you are
going to lie on this list, put the
legal pad away and go back to
pad. And, for Gods sake, stop
reading this.
Still reading? Okay, next step
is to examine only the side of
the paper that lists the good
things about you. Read over
each one carefully and be sure
to add anything youve forgot-
ten.
This is crucial. Its whats
known as being positive, and
nothing will serve you better in
life than a positive attitude.
Also, lets hope there are
enough things on this side of
the sheet to make you love
yourself. Thats important.
I know, I know, loving your-
self sounds conceited. Well,
forget that. Unless you love
yourself, you can never love
anyone else. Besides, why do
you think we are doing this
exercise in the first place?
Youll have to look at the
other side of the paper eventu-
ally and, if youve been honest,
it should make you cringe at
least a little. Thats good. Re-
member, this is a beginning.
But you have to be careful
that this list the things that
need fixing does not over-
whelm you. You did not pick up
these attributes overnight and
you wont get ride of them that
easily either.
I suggest you select one to
work on, just one. Give it hell.
And dont stop giving it hell
until you can draw a line right
through it, preferably with a big
fat, black Sharpie. Then go on
to the next.
You will like this. Trust me.
You will like this because it
will give you the incredible
sense of self satisfaction, a
sense that you are taking charge
of your life. And there is no
other feeling quite like self
satisfaction.
You will start to feel power-
ful, and it will show. People
friends, family, co-workers
will wonder whats happened to
you. Let them wonder. That
will make you feel ever more
powerful.
What will truly be happening
is something I mentioned earli-
er: you will be cultivating a
positive attitude. Attitude is
everything. What makes the
guy on the garbage truck at 6 in
the morning whistle while he
works? Attitude. What makes
the businessman making a
million dollars a year gripe over
lunch at the country club? Atti-
tude.
Your attitude is up to you. Its
a personal choice. No one
makes you behave this way or
that way. No one. You may not
have control over a lot of things
in your life, but have control
over this.
Finally, allow me to share
with you a bit of advice I re-
ceived some 25 years ago from
a lovely man on the occasion of
his 95th birthday, if memory
serves me well. His name was
George Bainbridge and hes
appeared in this column before.
This is what he said:
You trade a day of your life
for all the things you did during
that day. When you are going to
bed at night, make sure you can
look at yourself and say, Good
trade.
If you live to be as old as Mr.
Bainbridge, graduates, you will
live approximately 34,675 days.
That may seem a lot. But if you
are 18, youve used up around
6,570 already. Some you have
traded well, some not. Either
way, they are gone for good.
When you consider the 28,000
or so you have left, do you
really want to give away any of
them cheaply?

Last Sundays annual Tour of
Historic Pittston Churches in-
cluded a pleasant surprise
amongst the familiar. The sixth
annual tour, conceived and host-
ed by Atty. Jan Lokuta, was the
smallest thus far, with only four
churches being visited, but,
thanks to the gemthat is the Slo-
cum Chapel, it may have been
one of the most memorable.
This summers tour concen-
trated on the churches of Exeter
Borough. The familiar churches
St. John the Baptist on School-
ey Street, St. Cecilias on Wyom-
ing Avenue and St. Anthonys on
Memorial Street have been
merged into the newParish of St.
Barbara, housed at the former St.
Anthonys but utilizing St. Ceci-
lias as an alternate worship site.
St. John the Baptist has closed.
SlocumChapel, at 1024Exeter
Ave., in a section known as the
patch, was built in 1867 by the
Slocum family who occupied a
stately mansion across the street.
Mr. Slocums will specified that
the chapel was to remain in ser-
vice to the community. The Slo-
cums were Presbyterian.
Today, the chapel is an Apos-
tolic church.
Pastor Guy Giordano and par-
ishioner Mike Marancik ex-
plained the history of the chapel
and answered questions. Sam
Reggie, 87-year-old parishioner,
was introduced and Richard
Redmond demonstrated the
ringing of the church bell.
The tour began at St. Cecilias
and concluded at St. Anthonys,
now St. Barbaras.

ter Pittston Churches, addresses the group at St. Anthony's, now

Kevin McGroarty, 50, was
born and raised in Wyoming. He
graduated from Wyoming Area
high School in 1979. He has as-
sociates degrees in applied sci-
ence and business management
from LCCC.
He started and ran a string of
successful ad agencies. Most re-
cently he has a freelance graphic
design business he calls Gun for
Hire. His office/studio is in West
Pittston, where he also lives.
He is also and artist and musi-
cian. He has released three CDs
of original parody songs with the
band Se7en South.
He is self-described as a self-
taught illustrator coming up
through the ranks of back row
sketchbooks filled with unflat-
tering teacher portraits, girls way
out of his league and motorcy-
cles.
What were your high school
days like?
Not a stellar student. I was
holding down a part time job.
But Wyoming Area is a good
school andbackthenwe hada lot
of freedom in the arts. I excelled
in art at the time.
You have described yourself
as a self-taught MacGeek?
When I got out of LCCC, I and
two other guys started an ad
agency called Pyramid. For nov-
ices we picked up some good ac-
counts, Jack Williams, Strouds.
Pride Furniture was very good to
us. We designed print ads, radio
ads, some TV ads. A little bit of
everything. It was great exposure
for us.
We were one of the first using
Apple Computers in the Valley.
We went to Philadelphia to pur-
chase it back in 85.
That was our first venture into
desktop publishing. I remember
with the Dispatch we could have
our stuff inonSaturdaymorning.
A lot of our clients were baf-
fled because they always had to
have their stuff in on Wednesday.
Since we could make our own art
work, we could come in on Sat-
urday morning as long as we had
the space reserved and the art
was camera ready.
Jim Ward of the old WARD
radio was a mentor of sorts?
When we started out we didnt
knowwhat to do. When we start-
ed dealing with him he took us
under wing. He said, look you
guys are entitled to 15 percent.
We bill you. Theres a gross, you
take15 percent off the top, pay us
and away we go.
He was very animated. There
was a little window where you
could see the recording sessions
going on.
Doing Kurlancheeks Furni-
ture ads hed yell 40, 50, 60, 70
percent off and youd see the
wires on his head set flying. He
really got into it. (Laughs).
One time we owed himmoney
and we told him wed pay him
Monday.
There was a horrific snow-
stormand I drove up there and he
said Ive got sales reps that wont
come in, what are you doing
here? And I said, we said wed
pay you on Monday. After that
we were golden. Hed go out of
his way to get us accounts.
Talk about RHINO Media.
That was in 1997 through
2008. Two years ago I sold the
business to Summer Bellas, my
business partner.
Research, Habit, Identity,
Navigation and Organization.
Research the clients and the
competition, study their buying
Habits, create an Identity for
yourself that sets you apart, Nav-
igate the budget to make every
dollar count, andOrganizationto
get everybody thinking the same
way.
Why did you make a Battle
of Wyoming DVD?
That was RHINO with Sum-
mer Bellas and Kevin Jones in
2002. Even having grown up in
Wyoming, I never had a full
grasp of what happened at the
Battle of Wyoming. Like, I al-
ways thought the battle was in
Wyoming by the monument, but
it was mainly in Exeter.
We put together the DVD Bat-
tle of Wyoming. We have some
animation, stills, did a lot of the
Ken Burns effect. We broke into
segments.
We didnt make it bloody so
grandma could watch it with the
grandkids.
WVIA usually runs it on TV
on July 3.
Aside from your ad work,
you are an artist?
Always dabbling. Painting. I
used to do a lot of conventional
painting. The computer has tak-
en a lot of my paints and solvents
away. Noneedtoget your fingers
dirty. No more oily rags around.
(Laughs).
Have you ever had a gallery
showing?
One. At Gina Malskys Down-
town Arts in Wilkes-Barre. All
computer generated stuff. God
bless her. She treated my stuff
first class. I got a lot of feedback.
Im indebted to her.
Your father inspired you?
Edward McGroarty. He was a
colonel inthe state police, retired
in 1976. He went Swoyersville
schools and a teacher there told
him he had worst handwriting
shed ever seen. She told him
there are only 26 letters. If you
took one a day and learned it you
could master this and he did.
He became a master penman.
Wrote everythingwitha German
pen.
I have sample here. One time I
wrote an essay and he wrote it
out. (Points out essay framed on
the wall). He wrote like that with
everything, whether it was a gro-
cery list or directions.
You have an ongoing project
connected to the state police?
Camp Cadet for Troop P. Its
for kids 12 to 15 to camp for a
week. Its a great program for
kids with an interest in law en-
forcement. Im on the board of
directors.
I do a lot of graphics and fund
raising with them. Takes up a lot
of time all year. As soon as the
camp is over we have to start
shaking the bushes for the next
year.
We have to raise $28,000 for a
season and its hard with all the
golf tournaments out there and
the economy doesnt help.
Youproduceda bagpipe mu-
sic CD for Trooper Millers
family. Did you know him?
Didnt know him. But I knew
the fellows around him and they
spoke very highly of him. Said
he was a decent fellow. Family
man. Loved to hunt and fish.
Chris Lynch and Chuck Sands
put the music together. They got
in touch with me and though Ri-
chie over at Rock Street we re-
corded the CD. He lent us his en-
gineer Max. All the proceeds go
to the family
How did you learn to play
music?
I got a guitar for high school
graduation. I still have it. Pretty
much self taught and on the pi-
ano, too.
What is the band Se7en
South about?
Seven South is the psychiatric
ward at General Hospital. I al-
ways thought it would be a cool
name for a band.
Anyway, we recorded as
Se7en South with Jimmy Frush-
on and George Stuscavage. Jim-
my would come in for like a
week wed get together and work
on an album. We just started
throwing stuff together. I really
enjoyed the creative process. It
really gets the juices flowing. We
made three CDs. We didthe third
album over the internet sending
mp3s back and forth.
What are the songs like?
All parodies. Always tongue in
cheek. A lot of them have local
themes.
One is about Danny Argo. Ar-
go was like a hero from the time

ly 3.

three write, On behalf of the communi-

your generosity in this endeavor. We hope
that you will be able to make a donation
large or small. We appreciate any support
you offer and we will ensure that your
sponsorship is publicly advertised.
Finally, we truly feel this fireworks
display will help continue the harmonious
relationship between the people, busi-
nesses and government officials of both
communities. More importantly, it will
provide a fun event for all the people of
the Greater Pittston area, and it will help
foster pride in the great events surround-
ing the founding of our great nation, espe-
cially for the youth of our area.
Donations can be sent to the Pittston-
West Pittston Community Fund c/o Pitt-
ston City Clerks Office, Pittston City

294 Main Street, Dupont, 655-5541
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judical
Court has upheld a lower court ruling
that puts in question the ownership of
hundreds, possibly thousands, of fore-
closed properties in the state. The ruling
affrms a court decision that invalidated
foreclosures on two homes because the
lenders did not clear titles to the mort-
gages on the home.
***
Power suppliers that sell electricity in
Maryland will have to buy more energy
from solar sources, under a new law.
***
The Rhode Island Supreme Court has
ruled that the City of Providence may
take away an employees pension only
if that employee is convicted of a job-
related crime, not just forced to resign or
fred for misconduct.
***
Individuals in Illinois will be limited to
giving a candidate $5,000 per election
cycle, and businesses, unions, and po-
litical action committees to $10,000,
under a new law, Illinois was one of just
fve states that had no limits on the size
or source of campaign donations before
the General Assembly passed the law.

It may sound counter intuitive,
but dumpsters, backhoes, a
blacktop patch and crumbling
buildings equal progress on
South Main Street.
Last week sewer project work
emerged from Butler Alley,
crossed Main Street and tore into
the Tomato Festival lot.
The City hopes work moves
along quickly in order for the lot
to be ready for the Pittston To-
mato Festival, scheduled August
18 through 21.
Meanwhile, the 2011 Pittston
Farmers Market has founda new
location. The market will open
on Tuesday, July14, beginning at
10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. on the
St. John the Evangelist Parish
community parking lot on Wil-
liam Street. The paved lot is the
former parking lot of St. John the
Baptist Church and St. John the
Baptist School. There are en-
trances on William Street adja-
cent to DeMuros Pizza on both
sides of the building and Butler
Street.
When the sewer project is
completed the market will again
be located on the Robert Conroy,
Sr. lot.

Six youth and their adult leaders fromSt. John the Evangelist Parish, Pittston, attended the One
Bread, One Cup Summer Liturgical Leadership Conference on the campus of St. Meinrad School of
Theology in southern Indiana fromJune 13-17. During the five-day conference, the youth learned
about their Catholic faith through sessions of catechesis, liturgical and spiritual formation, and par-
ticipation in liturgies. They also were trained in liturgical ministries such as lector, Eucharistic minis-
ter and cantor, learning skills they can use in their parishes and high schools. Attending the confer-
ence were Shane Farrell, Danielle Gorski, Kristen Lombardo, Catherine Lombardo, Andrews Mark
and Kelly Mitchell. Also attending were the adult participants, Janet Delaney, Susan Lombardo and
Msgr. John Bendik. Left to right, Danielle Gorski, Catherine Lombardo, Kelly Mitchell, Kristen Lom-
bardo, Msgr. John Bendik, Andrew Mark, Janet Delaney, Susan Lombardo, and Shane Farrell. In the

Counting flowers on the wall doesnt
bother you at all?
Then this editorial isnt for you.
But for everyone else who might be
looking for something to do, we have
some suggestions.
For starters, how about taking in an
American Legion baseball game?
In case you havent noticed, the Greater
Pittston team, made up of players from
Pittston Area and Wyoming Area, is 9-0
thus far. The team plays a sort-of double-
header today at the Atlas Field in West
Pittston. They will start at 5 p.m. complet-
ing a make-up game against Back Moun-
tain and then follow with a regular game.
Rooting for the local boys is a nice way
to spend a summer Sunday evening.
Also, Little League All Star Tourna-
ment play begins this week. The complete
local schedule appears in todays sports
section.
But if baseball is not your thing, per-
haps golf is. The final rounds of the Allan
Tournament are scheduled today at Fox
Hill Country Club. Just being on the
grounds of Fox Hill is worth it.
Then there is always the Northeast Fair
which concludes today in Suscon.
Grounds open at 1 p.m. and activity con-
tinues until 11. To see what youve been
missing, check out the photos on pages 28
and 29.
Got lots of time on your hands? Why
not consider volunteering some of it?
The Greater Pittston Meals on Wheels
program is getting desperate for drivers
and runners. If you are familiar with the
operation, you know several of the folks
performing these tasks are elderly them-
selves delivering meals to clients younger
than they. They sure could use some
young blood to help out.
If interested, stop in at the headquarters
on Main Street.
Another place to offer help is the Grea-
ter Pittston Food Pantry. And if you dont
have time to donate, you can always offer
food items or cash.
Peggy Burke, founder and director, ex-
plains it all better than we can in a letter on
this page.
Finally, bazaar andfestival seasonis up-
on us.
A full listing of local events appears on
page 31. Not only can you plan your eat-
ing adventures for the rest of the summer,
but you also may want to consider lending
a hand.
Dont tell us
youve got
nuthin to do
The generosity of a local businessman has made it possible for
low-income residents of Greater Pittston to receive fresh fruits
and vegetables at each pantry visit. Choosing to remain anony-
mous, the benefactor previously donated hundreds of pounds of
fresh produce each year during the pantrys annual Christmas
food giveaway. These donations now arrive weekly for 60-75
households.
The variety includes potatoes, onions, tomatoes, celery, ba-
nanas, honeydew, apples, oranges and more. Volunteers bag the
fresh items and include them along with canned and dry goods,
milk, bakeryandfrozenfoods. Inadditiontoa vast arrayof food-
stuffs donated by The Commission on Economic Opportunity
(CEO) twice a month, the new Pittston Wal-Mart donates from
100 to 1,000 lbs. of nearly expired dry goods, bakery items and
frozen meats twice a week.
Monetary donations are used to purchase milk delivered each
week at cost from Blue Ribbon Dairy. The dairy also donates
free milk for 350 households each Christmas.
Volunteers use their own trucks and vans to pick-up most do-
nated items fromCEO, Wal-Mart and local schools and church-
es. Recently, a commercial van was donated to the pantry to aid
in picking up donated items.
The citizens and various groups of the Greater Pittston com-
munity have become goodwill ambassadors and benefactors
through their continued donations of monies, foodstuffs and per-
sonal hygiene items such as hair care products, soap, toothpaste,
etc.
Too numerous to list by name are the churches, schools, scout
troops, Red Hat Societies, athletic teams, VFWs, fire depts.,
businesses and others who have held food drives. The National
Association of Postal Carriers recently netted 800 pounds of
food for the pantry.
Food Pantry expands offerings, thanks to local generosity

Americans who did not go to all-day kinder-
garten wrote the Declaration of Independence,
defeated Hitler, invented heavier than air flight,
discovered penicillin, developed vaccines.
Americans who did not go to all-day Kin-
dergarten split the atom, invented telephones,
radios, TVs, computers.
Americans who did not go to all-day kinder-
garten flew to the moon, wrote Tom Sawyer and
Take Me out to the Ballgame, and found and
killed Osama bin Laden.
So what will happen if the state budget cuts
eliminate full-day kindergarten? There will be a
lot of wailing and hand wringing among those
vested in such things, but what will happen in the
long run?
Nothing will happen.
Nothing will happen except there will be no
full-day kindergarten. No one will die or be sent
to the juvie, people will adjust and life will go
on.
The protests that went on in the Crestwood
school district over the potential loss of all-day
kindergarten were ridiculous. Six-year-olds hold-
ing up protest signs and delivering bags of Kool-
Aid money to the school board, please, gimme a
break.
As if we are to believe a six-year-old cares if
kindergarten is half-day or all-day.
And what will happen if art programs and
junior high sports programs are cut because of
state budget cuts?
Nothing will happen except there will be no art
programs and no junior high sports. School will
go on. Life will go on and people will adjust.
And what will happen if the state budget cuts
$3 million from the new medical college in
Scranton?
Nothing will happen except the college will
have $3 million less to spend.
And the schools president said as much saying
the cuts wont impact the colleges core mission
to train new doctors and medical professionals.
If thats the case, why did the school need the
$3 million in the first place?
But back to the public school cuts. Cutting
all-day kindergarten, art and junior high sports
may be survivable, but is that really the way to
cut spending?
Typically 70 percent of a public schools bud-
get is salaries, benefits and pension funding. So
cutting junior high sports to balance a budget
would be like cutting the waterboy instead of the
backup multi-million dollar quarterback to bal-
ance an NFL budget.
County takes a hit
A state hearing examiner who apparently
didnt go to all-day kindergarten or hed be good
enough at math to know Luzerne County is
broke ordered the county to rehire 36 workers
and pay all their lost wages and benefits. Thats
going to cost the county more than $1 million a
year not counting health insurance and other
benefits.
What do these 36 workers do? They work for
an agency which finds jobs for adults and under-
privileged youths. Wouldnt you love to know
how many jobs these 36 workers found for $1
million?
And whats the county doing running such a
program anyway?
According to a Michelle Malkin column I read
recently the federal government spends $18 bil-
lion a year on 47 separate job-training programs
run by nine different agencies.
And nobody knows if they work because they
havent been reviewed in almost 10 years.
The state also runs multiple jobs programs
under the Department of Labor and Industry.
So we need one at the county level?
Talk about redundancy.
SMILES ANDFROWNS

Random notes on the news
For many weeks we have been following the E coli outbreak in
Germany. Its the largest food outbreak in history for this particular
pathogen, E coli. Some readers might question how E coli could get
into bean sprouts when much of the media has focused on this partic-
ular pathogen contaminating ground beef?
Our faculty, Luke LaBorde has stated to the media that the process
used to germinate seeds is ideal for growing pathogens. Abundant
nutrients are present, along with high levels of moisture and the
warm temperatures needed for the sprouting process help to ensure
survival andgrowthof bacteria, he said. If youwant toreadthe entire
story, visit: http://live.psu.edu/story/53862.
But how did the E coli get in the seed to begin with?
The seeds can be contaminated themselves either by bacteria in
animal manure in the field that they were grown in or during pos
tharvest storage. Dr. LaBorde comments that in the United States, the
seeds usually are pre-treated with concentrated bleach solutions, and
wash water that flows through the sprouts is collected and tested for
bacteria such as E. coli. Penn State still recommends that precautions
be taken when eating bean sprouts.
Folks like the very young, the very old, pregnant and those who are
having medical conditions that suppress the immune system are at
riskfor foodborne illness. These folks shouldevaluate the riskbefore
deciding to eat raw bean sprouts.
For more information on the safety of bean sprouts, call our office
at 825-1701and ask for a copy of our Penn State brochure What You
Should Know about Sprouts.
Meanwhile, there are other toppings for salads and sandwiches be-
sides the traditional croutons. Here are just a few:
Shredded yellow squash, carrots or zucchini
Shredded spinach
Chopped peanuts and or walnuts
Chopped water chestnuts
Dry Chinese Noodles
Summer is a great time to experiment with making your own salad
dressings too. Lettuces are now available at farmers markets along
with carrots, radishes and green beans. Try making this dressing to
drizzle over the farm fresh greens.
First start with an acid like cider vinegar, lemon juice or balsamic
vinegar. Add equal amounts of water, then add your favorite spices
and top off with extra virgin olive oil.
Here is how:
1/4 cup cider vinegar, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or red wine
vinegar
1/4 cup water
Favorite spice like basil, oregano, dill,
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt or omit
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar or honey
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Mix spices with vinegars or lemon juice. Add salt and sugar. Shake
again. Add oil and shake a second time. Store dressing in the refriger-
ator. Enjoy! To add an Italian flare, add 2 tbsp of tomato paste and
omit half of the vinegar.
For more information on Making an Olive Oil Salad Dressing

None of this would be possible
without the parish community of
St. John the Evangelist lending
the former Seton Catholic High
School building and contribut-
ing to its upkeep.
Nor would it be possible with-
out the dedicated volunteers who
serve with a smile each week.
Thank you to all who make this
ministry of helping others possi-
ble.
Sadly, along with the outpour-
ing of support, the need contin-
ues to grow. More than 700 fam-
ilies within the Pittston Area and
Wyoming Area School Districts
are served. Families whose in-
comes fall within 150% of the
Federal Governments Poverty
Guidelines are eligible to receive
food every 5 weeks.
A new category of increased
need has recently been estab-
lished for 200 families whose in-
comes are 25% of poverty.
Households whose incomes
range from zero to several
hundred dollars per month (de-
pending on the number of per-
sons within the household) may
now schedule an appointment
for food every 3 weeks.
In spite of the volume of food
donated, the pantry is a Supple-
mental Food Program which
does not meet a familys food
needs for more thanseveral days.
As grateful as we are for all
who donate, our need is so great
that donations are always wel-
comed. Food can be delivered to
the St. Johnthe Evangelist parish

Question #1
Michael Smigel of
Duryea received an
Air Force award for
performing a duty
most would think
impossible. What was
it?
1956 55 Years Ago
In 1956, Robert Dillon and John
Golden, co-chairmen of the May Park
Association in Port Griffith, planned for
their annual picnic. New refreshments
stands, war memorial and ocean-wave
kiddie rides were readied for the event.
The Port Griffith Boy Scouts under the
direction of Nick Spatz helped to give
the park a face-lift.
The park was organized on July 25,
1922, and dedicated on September 4 of
the same year. Pennsylvania Coal Com-
pany donated men and equipment to
help in construction and in appreciation
the park was named after Captain Wil-
liam A. May who was associated with
the company.
Port Griffiths oldest residents Mrs.
John Noone and James Norris Sr.,
joined the two youngest Alice Dillon
and Terry Burke to raise a flag in com-
memoration of the opening day cele-
bration. The first officers of the park
association were Patrick Delaney, Mi-
chael Martin, John Killian, James
Morris, James Devers Jr., and Nicho-
las Mangan, Jr.
Stauffer Chevrolet advertised the
sureness of control that no other regu-
lar production car can equal available
in the 1956 Chevrolet BelAir. Beautiful
but a tomboy the 1956 Chevy broke
records at the Darlington Raceway by
racing 2,438 miles in 24 hours topping a
stock car record by 280 miles. Recently
a 1956 red hard top sold for $49,500 at
RM Auctions.
1956 marked the 50th anniversary of
the dedication of the Fort Pittston
Monument. The marker, which was
erected at the Fort Pittston School, com-
memorates the gallant stand by Amer-
ican troops and settlers against the Brit-
ish in July, 1778. It is located at the In-
tersection of North Main and Parsonage
streets. The large stone monument erect-
ed under the auspices of the Dial Rock
Chapter of the Daughters of the Amer-
ican Revolution was quarried from land
owned by Ernest Schmaltz of Pittston
Township and unveiled on July 4, 1906.
The marker erected on land donated by
J.E. Patterson marks the southern side
of Pittston Fort.
1966 45 Years Ago
Maria Capolarellas Oregon Drille-
rettes were in demand. The Pocono
Downs requested that the baton-twirling
unit perform at the track during func-
tions under the name of the Pocono
Downs Golden Strutters. The girls
would perform at events such as Chil-
drens Day and opening night. Members
of the group were Marilyn and Michele
Capolarella, Gloria Macario, Alma
Murphy, Debbie Conroy, Sandra Ro-
man, Frances Casper, Donna and
Debbie Brogna, Mary Lou Sciandra,
Ann Marie Mantione, Gail Bleyer,
Cindy Savokinas, Susan LaMarca,
Mary Policare, Patti Roman, Judy
Lenza, Georgine Tramontana, Donna
Boylan, Karen Giamusso, Tina Fal-
cone, Catherine Perry, Mary Ellen
Murtha, Angela Macario, Laura Spu-
dis, Susan Mantione, Pamela Russo,
Lisa Biscotti, Jeta Mastruzzo and
Louise Falcone. The unit, which began
in 1962, had a color guard consisting of
Frank Roman, Bobby Macario, John
Casper, Sam Mastruzzo and Ross
DePhillips.
With the merger of the Pittston and
Northeast school districts at hand, the
first meeting of the Patriots Booster
Club was held. Wes Roberts, Phil Ado-
nizio, Harold Costello, Lou DeGrose,
Ann Luvender, Bill Giles and Val De-
lia, members of the by-laws committee,
were set to secure a charter. Coaches
Bob Barbieri and Gene Guarilia sug-
gested the purchase of a seven-man sled
for football and rebounding machine for
basketball. Don Major was in charge of
publicity and chairman of Albert West
Park concessions committee.
Directors held their final meeting as
members of the Northeast School dis-
trict board. Mrs. Wilbur Schultz, John
Adonizio, and Martin Williams of
Hughestown; Frank Pupa, Joseph
DeSanto and Anna Lillis, Pittston Twp;
Leonard Wendolowski, Chester Kor-
pusik and Larry McNulty of Duryea;
John Boone, Francis Woods and Ray
McAndrew of Avoca; Terrence Burke,
Joseph Soltis, and Joseph Delaney,
Jenkins Twp; Ed Plisga, Andrew Sevec,
and Andrew Chrobak, Dupont; Mal-
colm DeLuca and John Gighliello,
Yatesville. Northeast School District
would cease to exist on July 1, 1966.
John Moose Demich was the hero
of the game as the pitcher of the
J.P.Cutters team in the Dispatch Slow
Pitch softball league. Throwing a no-
hitter against the VFW Moose team, he
was also responsible for four hits, three
singles and a double, which were good
for three runs.
1976 35 Years Ago
The year saw the St. John Evangelist
High School designated a central Ca-
tholic high school and its name changed
to Seton Catholic High School. St.
Johns opened its doors in 1864 staffed
with members of the Sisters, Servants of
the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The
charter for the school was granted in
1900. Bishop Hoban laid a cornerstone
for a new school in 1920 and years later
in 1960, a devastating fire hit the school.
Named after Saint Elizabeth Ann Set-
on, the school was credited with ad-
vancing Catholic education in the Unit-
ed States.
Jenkins Township Little Leaguers
looked forward to using the brand new
stadium located at May Park in Port
Griffith. John Para, chairman of the
board of supervisors, announced the
new field would be named after Mary
Gowran who served the township for
many years. Today the field is known as
JTWPLL complex and is located on
May Street in Port Griffith the site of
many great summer games.
Mabel Quick and Elizabeth Daven-
port of Hughestown were doing some-
thing they truly enjoyed while raising
money for Hughestown Hose Company.
Both women designed and made more
than 87 dolls with colorful crocheted
dresses and hats. The fundraiser was a
success as orders continued to mount the
women worked tirelessly to keep up
with the demand.
Debbie Desiderio, Lynda Chmielew-
ski, Joyce Dombroski, Sandy Selenski,
Jane Lyons, Doreen Dzanis, Patti
Lishewski and Kathy Ceklosky com-
peted for the title of Miss Polish Amer-
ica. One of the lucky girls would be
selected at the Polish Day event chaired
by Martin Satkowski and being held at
Pocono Downs Raceway. If anyone
knows who won the title, please call me
at 602-0168.
1986 25 Years Ago
Andy Griglock of West Pittston was
set to participate in an historic event
scheduled for July 4, 1986. A member of
18-member group from Mansfield Uni-
versity, Andy was invited to perform at
the unveiling of the multi-million dollar
refurbished Statue of Liberty. He trav-
eled over several weeks to New York for
rehearsals. During the festivities Presi-
dent Ronald Reagan declared, We are
the keepers of the flame of liberty; we
hold it high for the world to see. At the
unveiling, the president pressed a button
that sent a laser beam across the water
toward the statue. A brilliant light show
unveiled the statue.
1996 15 Years Ago
Lisa Bukowski of Avoca took three
track medals in the 200, 400 and 100-
meter run and Jessica Soy of Duryea
took two medals in swimming in the
100-meter freestyle and 50-meter back-
stroke at the Pennsylvania State Special
Olympics held at Penn State University.
Question #2
What did Greater Pittston couples
Peter and Agnes Podwika, Jake and
Agnes Konopka and George and Mary
Race have in common in 1996?
Answer #1
Michael Smigel performed 750 hours
as an aircraft observer. The Ground
Observer Corps was a Civil Defense
program to protect against air attack
during World War II. By 1952, the US
radar system could not easily detect low
flying aircraft so the program was ex-
panded with a new organizational plan
named Operation Skywatch. Smigels
special talent was his ability to detect
aircraft by sound, as he was blind. For
this feat, he received a special award
from the Air Force. To read more about
the history of the Observer Corp go to
airforce-magazine.com
Answer #2
Peter and Agnes Ondek Podwika, Jake
and Agnes Zavada Konopka and George
and Mary Race were married on the
same day at 9, 10 and 11 a.m. respec-
tively in St. John the Baptist Church in
June 1946. The three couples were cele-
brating their 50th wedding anniversaries
with their families.
As young men returned from serving
in the armed forces during World War
II, many planned to marry their home-
town sweetheart. The surge of marriages
beginning in 1946 created the Baby
Boom generation which influenced
social and economic effects still being
studied today.
Its surprising how much memory is
built around things unnoticed at the
time.

he dropped the needle on the
Beatles record over at St. Roc-
cos and sent it all over Pittston. I
was in awe of that.
Anyway, Jimmy told us the
story of Danny riding a piece of
ice down the river fromScranton
like a gondola.
When Jimmy told us that we
were hysterical and we wrote the
song The Susquehanna Meets
Crooked River.
Mostly I did the writing, but
sometimes it was a late-night
collaboration. We had a hell of a
time. Its exhilarating. Its like an
emotional high.
What other projects are you
working on?
Real Dog with Pat Patte from
the sports bar. Its the name we
use to fund raise. Were selling
shirts, hats, raising funds for a
no-kill dog shelter out in Dallas
called the Blue Chip Animal
Rescue.
One hundred percent of what-
ever you get to her goes toward
medicine, cleaning supplies,
food, shes just a saint, Margaret
Bart.
We have a dinner where you
get three cigars. All the profits
go to the shelter.
Thats why theres a cigar in
the dogs mouth on the Real Dog
logo.
Last spring I had to put my
Mastiff, Chainsaw, down. Hes
the brother of Pattes dog.
Your cardsays Gunfor Hire.
Whats that?
Since I sold the ad agency,
thats what Im going by. Like
Patte needs a graphic designer,
Ill do that. Somebody needs po-
litical stuff, Ill do that.
I kindof piecemeal myself out.
Whatever the project is.
I wanted to support Fred Pie-
rantoni for judge. I wasnt com-
fortable going after other candi-
dates, but when you rally behind
someone and carry them across
the finishline thats the waytodo
it.
So we looked at his website
and we saw some area for im-
provement. So we made a sister
site, put our own graphics on it.
From nine weeks out until the
election we captured the first
eight pages of Google.
If you searched anything to do
with Luzerne County or the
judges race youd get eight pag-
es of Fred Pierantoni.
Robert Sterling, a friend of
mine was very instrumental in
that. We did that gratis.
Whats on your I-Pod?
Beatles. The Who. James Tay-
lor, Dave Matthews and Steely
Dan. Huge Steely Dan fan.
Last book read?
Cigars, Whiskey and Win-
ning: Leadership Lessons from
Ulysses S. Grant.
Sports team?
Steelers
Hobby?
Cigars. Ive tried the Cubans,
but theres a Dominican that
comes out of Spanish Harlem
called Raices.
Its smooth and very mild.
Some cigars you have that taste
in your mouth for three days. Not
with these.
All- time movie?
Patton and a sleeper, the Pack-
age with Gene Hackman and
Tommie Lee Jones.
Dinner guests?
Churchill, my father and Ted-
dy Roosevelt.
Thatd be a hell of a table.

New vendors are welcome for
the Farmers Market. Rental for a
14ft. frontage space is $100 for
the season which will end the
week prior to Thanksgiving.
Charitable and civic organiza-
tions are welcome to participate
free of charge.
Maria Capolarella Montante
and Chester Montante, co-chair-
men of the market, can be reac-

information.
A week earlier, City officials
announced the demolition of two
buildings and the purchase of
two others on Main Street during
Wednesday nights City Council
meeting.
The city bought the building at
30 S. Main St., commonly
known as the Waynes World
building, about six months ago.
At the time, city officials be-
lieved the building could be re-
stored. A more thorough assess-
ment after the purchase revealed
that it would be far more cost-ef-
fective to demolish the building.
The demolition will be paid
for with existing state grant
funds.
City Manager Joseph Mosko-
witz said the city considers it a
priority to preserve as much of
the downtown as possible. This
was the original intent in pur-
chasing the Waynes World
building.
The former used record and
DVD shop, owned by Wayne
Sorbelli, had been a staple in
Pittston since 1997. After the
2010 demolition of the former
Pittston Billiard, structural dam-
age was noticed at the building.
The store closed a short time lat-
er.
Before the closure, Sorbelli
had already opened another
larger store in his current home-
town of Dallas with a stronger
focus on instrument sales and
music lessons.
The great thingabout Pittston
was the location, Sorbelli said.
I serviced walk-in customers
fromthe community, and I loved
it.
If he were able to find an ideal
location on Main Street, Sorbelli
stated, he would like to open a
store similar to the one operated
in Dallas.
The former Valley Cat Rescue
at 79 S. Main St. will also be de-
molished. Unlike the Waynes
World Building, this is not own-
ed by the city.
The council also announced
the purchase of the Lezza build-
ing at 111 S. Main St. and the
Firemark building on South
Main Street for $70,000.

Authority 2011 bills are due for
payment by June 30. Any cus-
tomer bill not paid by the due
date will be subject to a five per-
cent late charge that will be com-
puted on any unpaid charges.
Any owner who is over two
quarters delinquent on their
LLVSAbill will be placed on our
water shut off program and/or a
lienmaybe placedonthe proper-
ty.
The American Water Compa-
ny has informed the LLVSAthat
they will charge a $30 fee for the
water service to be shut off and a
$30 fee for turning the water ser-
vice backon. Your LLVSAsewer
account will be charged the $60
fee charged to LLVSAby Amer-
ican Water Company.
The LLVSA rules and regula-
tions required bills to be mailed
to the owner of the property and
not the tenant. Any agreement
between owner and tenant is in
no way a concern of the author-
ity. The homeowner is solely re-
sponsible for the bill at LLVSA.
The LLVSA payment can also
be made at the Medicine Shoppe
in Old Forge, Llewellyns in Avo-
ca or the Hub in Dupont. Howev-
er, senior citizen discount cannot
be applied at these locations.
Senior citizens who provided
proof of age with photo ID or
drivers license with their bill for
the first quarter, 2011 should
have the reflected discount of $6
already applied to the bill. Any-
one age sixty-two and older and
owning and residing in the home
and accounts current, qualify for
a ten percent discount on their
sewer bill. Businesses and tenant
occupied units do not qualify for
the senior citizens discount.
The LLVSA is accepting over
the telephone payments with
Master Card and Visa credit
card/debit cards only. Call the
LLVSA business office at 655-
1665 to make a payment. Any
customer using their on-line
banking system must verify that
the correct LLVSA account
number is one the check and that
one one check per payment is is-
sued for every individual ac-
count. Some banks only provide
one account number on the
check and do not provide
LLVSA with the address to
match the account number for
verification. This will prevent
the wrong LLVSA account from
being incorrectly applied.
The LLVSA would like to
thank all students from the fol-
lowing school, Old Forge, River-
side, Holy Rosary, Duryea and
Pittston Area for their participa-

At the June meeting of Bor-
oughCouncil, StanKnick, Presi-
dent of Council, announced a
$100,000 grant approved
through Senator Blakes office
and the DCEDfor the municipal
garage with the balance of
$170,000 through the Chamber
and State Representative Mi-
chael Carroll.
Once the formal paperwork is
processed the checks will be re-
leased and the municipal project
will begin in early fall of this
year.
Stop signs and a 15 mph speed
limit was proposed for Quail Hill
based on the recommendation of
the survey conducted by Sgt Sa-
ranchuk and the police depart-
ment.
The solicitor will prepare an
ordinance and it will be adver-
tised and added to nexts month
meeting for approval.
Dupont Borough will send an
application for 2011/12 gaming
monies for pavingSimpson, Lin-
coln, Smith, Curtain streets.
Letters have been sent to Sen-
ator Blake and Representative
Carroll applying for $50,000:
$20,000 for new windows in the
administration office and new
energy saving lighting and
$30,000 for a police vehicle.
Proposals for patch pave work
were read and discussed by
council.
Councilmen Mark Kowalczyk
explained at the meeting that the
idea for this project was that cer-
tain streets including sections of
Simpson Street are in bad condi-
tion especially at the intersec-
tions. His thought was to mill the
intersection and pave to hold the
streets together until funding is
available to surface the entire
street.

great company not only in my

Her feelings about Wyoming
Area are summed up as follows:
I can honestly say that there are
many things about WA I am go-
ing to miss, especially the teach-
ers, I have had so many support-
ive teachers. Without their sup-
port I would probably never have
stumbled upon my love and chal-
lenge for video production. I feel
sad yet excited when thinking
about graduation. I amsad about
leaving behind the comfort and
familiarity of home and the
friends I have known my whole
life. Yet at the same time I amex-
cited to break out and create a
place for myself in the real
world.
