"The chief value of money,"
H.L. Mencken wrote, "is that
having it is vastly overrated."
Im not sure if that is as true
in 2008 as it was in 1908, but I
do know that whether or not
having money is overrated, giv-
ing it away is definitely under-
rated.
I can think of nothing more
fun than to give away money,
even if its just a buck or two.
I take that attitude each year to
the bingo tent at the St. John the
Evangelist Parish Community
Bazaar where I call out the num-
bers one night each year as a
favor to my friend Ann Noone.
She asks and I cant say no.
This year, I had to leave a
family reunion near Wyalusing
early Friday evening in order to
get to the bazaar in time for my
8 to 10 p.m. shift.
"Whats it like to call the num-
bers at bingo?" several folks
asked as I told them the reason
for my early departure.
"Well," I answered, "Its two
hours of little old ladies yelling
at you, Slow down! Go fas-
ter! Speak up Stop talking so
much, just call the numbers!
Arent there any B-4s in there?
Thats what its like."
I should hate it, but I love it. I
love it because I make it fun.
Fun for me, anyway.
I do that by making sure I
have a pocketful of money to
give away. Its not a whole lot,
but its enough to put smiles on
some faces.
I might, for example, throw a
few dollars out of my pocket
into the jackpot, just to make
things more interesting. Some-
times its as little as a quarter to
round out a jackpot of $14.75 to
an even 15 bucks, sometimes
more.
Since the jackpot is deter-
mined by the number of people
playing. I become an old-fash-
ioned barker trying to drum up
customers. Often Ill entice
teenagers to come and play by
offering to pay for their games.
Its only 50 cents apiece... mon-
ey well spent in my book. I
reckon if I can get a few cute
young girls to sit down and play,
some young boys will follow.
The opposite holds true as well.
I was wondering what else I
could do this year to spice things
up when, as I walked toward the
tent to report for duty, I spotted
an old friend Patrick Feeney
selling "instant bingos." Instant
bingos are little cards with flaps
to open to see if youve won.
The prize can be anything from
a free ticket, all the way up to
perhaps $25.
Patrick was selling them four
for a dollar and I bought five
dollars worth. I used them to
sweeten the jackpots. "The jack-
pot for the next game will be $12
and four instant bingo tickets."
Know how well that went
over? I had to get Patrick back
three or four times to buy more
tickets.
Theres always a lull in the
action between games as the
helpers get cards for new players
and collect money. That takes
time and some of the players
start squirming. I decided to
keep them entertained by pick-
ing the first number for the next
game and asking everyone to
guess what it was. I gave a dollar
to the first person who got it
right.
That became a bit chaotic so I
went back to trying to cajole
people I recognized in the crowd
to come in and play. Jimmy
Narvid and his wife Mary
obliged, God bless them. So did
Jessica Brogna and her mom
Sharon. And Josh Reynolds.
And Jane Mulhern.
During one lull, a young man
came over holding a lamp, of all
things. He must have picked it
up at the flea market. Look at
that guy, I said into the mic. He
came to the bazaar and found
the light of his life. Only one
person laughed, a lady sitting
behind me. I gave her a dollar.
The best give-away of the
night, however, came not from
me.
A little girl sitting behind me
played for an hour and didnt
win a thing. Finally, her mom
and dad said it was time to go
and while I was trying to think
of some sort of prize I could
give her, a man who played the
entire two hours I was there and
won a couple of times, called to
me "Here," he said, "give her
this," He was holding out a ten
dollar bill.
I took it and made a big deal
presenting it to the little girl
announcing she had won, "The
Msgr, Bendik, Best Bingo Play-
er under 4-Feet Tall with Blonde
Hair Award," or something like
that. She was delighted.
Moments later, the gentlemen
who donated the ten dollar bill,
called to me again. "Take a look
at this," he said.
He had started opening the
instant bingos that were part of
one of his jackpots and the first
one he opened was a ten dollar
winner. The exact amount he
had given away had come right
back to him.
The fellow, by the way was
Frank Bendik, brother of Pastor
Msgr. John Bendik. I suspected
that much earlier in the night.
He had the unmistakable Bendik
laugh...probably honed by years
of giving and having fun doing
it.

friends in life. In death he has a
lot of PALS. That would be
PALS as an acronym for Pre-
vent ALS, or amyotrophic lat-
eral sclerosis, also known as
Lou Gehrigs disease which
took Jimmys life on Valen-
tines Day in 2009.
Many of Jimmys friends
knew him as the friendly, fun-
ny worker at the West Pittston
Wine and Spirits Store. He was
a Redskins and Phillies fan and
loved his grandson Chase.
Jimmy worked with his son
Jay running the Pittston Toma-
to Festival 5K run. Jay is still a
co-chair of the race committee.
After his death Jimmys fam-
ily and friends formed a PALS
chapter in his name and have
organized fund raisers for
PALS.
This coming Saturday, Au-
gust 27, Jims

in the leftfield

PNC Stadium
for the Scran-

soft drinks and a donation to
ALS. A cash bar will be open

Sox. The event also includes
raffles for theme baskets.
Folks attending for Jimmy
will also enjoy two other pro-

entering the park will receive a
SWB Yankees Jersey Bag. Al-
so the Purina Incredible Dog

Before he retired frominterna-
tional banking, Coleman Dirhan,
67, lived in Japan, Brazil and
Mexico. Hes seenalot inlife. His
mother, Mary, whois 96, has seen
a lot, too.
But both say they have never
seen anything like the monster in
their backyard at Blueberry Hill
Estates in Duryea.
Its a tomato plant so big its
pullingdownsevenstakes, invad-
ing a rose bush, and yielding
baseball and softball-sized toma-
toes by the dozens from its 12 to
15 branches.
The tomatoes are great eating,
said Mary, who has a tomato
sandwich every evening. One
slice from the bigger tomatoes
can fill a sandwich.
Shes in her glory, Coleman
said of his mother. Coleman, a
1962 graduate of West Pittston
High School, moved back to the
area to live with his mother after
retiring four years ago.
Coleman, who never grew to-
matoes before, doesnt claim to
know the secret to tomato suc-
cess.
Im no green-thumber, he
said. I did put Miracle-Gro on it,
but other than that I absolutely
have no explanation. This would
be a great ad for Miracle-Gro. Its
outrageous. Its like a jungle. Ev-
erybody who has seen it never
saw anything like it. There are a
lot moretomatoes coming, all dif-
ferent sizes and more flowers
coming.
Mary, unlikeher son, is veryfa-
miliar with tomato plants. When
she was growing up in Exeter her
parents, John and Anna Zboray,
grew hundreds of tomato plants
on a lot on Grant Street.
We were known as the people
withthelittlefarm,shesaid. Ma-
ry said none of the hundreds of
plants her parents grewwere any-
thinglike the plant intheir yardin
Duryea. That thingis likeatree.
Mary brought the plant home
from a Cosmopolitan Seniors
club meeting, where it was given
to her by club president Victor
Malinoski. It was a single stem
eight inches high when Coleman
planted it just after Memorial
Day.
Malinoski said the plant is an
heirloom, meaning the seeds are
saved from year to year. He said
he did that for years, but eventu-
ally ran out. To start over he
browsed a catalog and chose
Hungarian Heart tomatoes from
the ox heart family for his next
heirloom line.
The Hungarian Hearts are
meaty, juicy and minimally
seedy, making them perfect for
salads, sandwiches and canning.
But the best thing about them
Malinoski said is, the luscious
taste.
He has three plants in his yard
in Exeter and they have been pro-
ducing some giants, too. Of Ma-
rys plants he said, Imgladshes
had so much success with hers.
She must be giving them tender
loving care.
As muchas ColemanandMary
love eating the tomatoes in salads
and sandwiches, they cant eat
them fast enough. They have
been giving them away to neigh-
bors and friends.
Colemans dear friend Amy
Alpaugh got two of the biggest of
the tomatoes. She estimates they
are three pounds each. After Co-
leman gave her the tomatoes Al-
paugh brought them to the Dis-
patchofficesayingtoColemanas
she left, I have to tell themabout
it.

Pittston Kiwanis active in GP
Judy Dessoye YMCAs Aq-
uatic director, coach and teacher -
basically has chlorine in her
blood.
Following in the footsteps of
her father who was a lifeguard,
swimming is a major part of her
life.
Once a swimmer always a
swimmer I guess, said Dessoye.
A self-proclaimed, Y rat,
Dessoyes earliest memory from
the old YMCA on Broad Street
was whenshe joinedthe 8andun-
der swim team. Later she joined
the leaders club, which lets mem-
bers under 15 help teach a class
like gymnastics or swimming
whichlater theycouldbe certified
in. Whenshe was only14, due toa
petitionfrommembers of the Pitt-
ston Y she received her lifeguard
certification.
We were there all the time, we
went to school and went to the Y,
said Dessoye.
She grewup at the Y, then later
devoted herself to the Y. With all
the knowledge she gained from
her sport, she did the best thing
she could with it - pass it along to
others. Nowas the Aquatic Direc-
tor at the Y, a normal day is quite
busy. She starts her day around 8
making sure every aspect of the
pool is ready, from checking the
chemicals todouble checkingthat
lifeguards are on deck.
Well from6:30inthemorning,
basically all day long we have lap
swimmers coming in the Y. We
love lap swimmers because we
love triathletes, I always keep a
laneopenfor them,saidDessoye.
From 9 a.m. on there are les-
sons: private, semi-private, or
group. Sometimes the Y pre-
school kidscomeinfor aswimbut
most often the aerobic class is
there getting their sweat on.
Although she works some long
days, she is certain of what her fa-
vorite part of her job is.
The look on a childs face
when they get it, when everything
clicks and they can see that they
got the stroke. If its doggy paddle,
butterfly, backstroke or its just
jumping off the block just that
lookthat I candoit,saidDessoye.
She also understands the im-
pact she has at the Y.
This year we had an 8 and un-
der little girl join in January. So
youre midseason, almost at the
end of the season at January. And
she was cryingandshe was sitting
on the bench, said Dessoye tell-
ing the story. Nina just went over
and talked to her and said whats
the matter, she said. I cant dive.
And she knelt down and looked at
her and said dont worry were a
familyhere, thisisour family. And
Judy takes care of all of us and
well all learn howto dive and she
tookher handcmonwell trydiv-
ing now. That broke my heart to
have one of mykids whowas only
11 to say something like that. It
proves that I amdoing something
great.
If anybody needs anything
were always there, we will always
come in, we dont really count
hours, its a second home.

FACTS OF
LAW
Brought to you as a paid public service by
the Law Ofces of Dominick P. Pannunzio,
294 Main Street, Dupont, 655-5541
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
Vermont and New Hampshire have no daily
cap on hours worked by teens, nor does federal
law. Massachusetts and Rhode Island allowup
to nine hours a day. Likewise, federal law, New
Hampshire and Vermont dont have a limit on
how late teens can work; Massachusetts is set
at 10 and Rhode Island at 11:30. As for hours
per week, federal law and Vermont have no
limit, Massachusetts and Rhode Island are at
48 and New Hampshire is at 30.
***
Illinois has a new law aimed at forcing online
retailers to collect sales taxes in the state.
Hawaii, North Carolina and Rhode Island have
enacted similar laws.
***
A new law eliminates drivers rights to refuse
to take a breath test in Wyoming.
***
By an 8-1 vote, Clarence Thomas dissenting,
the Supreme Court has given federal judges
more leeway to provide second chances to the
criminals who come before them.
***
The First District Court of Appeal in San
Francisco ruled recently that a search of a
16 year old was illegal and overturned his
conviction because the police offcer had
requested that the young man not leave,
and, even if a request, it cannot be said that
a reasonable youth in D.B.s situation would
have believed that he was free to leave the
scene.
The bell was removedfromthe
tower in St. Marys Assumption
Church last week where for
many years it was rung by hand
to herald the Angelus, a Catholic
tradition of a call to prayer at 6
a.m. noon and 6 p.m.
The 111-year-old bell was
forged of bronze in 1900 at the
famed McShane Foundry in Bal-
timore, which is still a leading
manufacturer of bells.
The St. Marys bell, as are all
Catholic Church bells, was given
a name -- Maria Immaculate or
Mary Immaculate.
The bell is in storage and will
eventually be donated to another
church.
No more ringing of the St. Marys bell

No matter the recession. No matter the
condition of the streets. No matter the
risk. No matter what, there are always en-
trepreneurs willing to give small business
a shot.
And were not just talking about Pitt-
ston -- though small businesses pop here
regularly we say anywhere and every-
where, entrepreneurs rock!
And they are the rock that our economy
was built on and will be rebuilt on no mat-
ter what the government does.
Some small businesses are handed
down and span generations. For example
100 years ago A.S. Powers was selling
sleds from their hardware store on Main
Street for 75 cents to a $3.75 and Egans
was making mining equipment. Thomas
Barbeque in Moosic has been in the same
family since the 1920s.
Tonys Pizza is an example of a small
business which survived and even thrived
after an ownership change.
But those long-running businesses are
exceptions.
Most small businesses come and go.
Not long ago small businesses lined the
streets of all our little Main Streets as the
empty storefronts from Wyoming to Du-
ryea attest.
Some fell victim to the changing times
suburbia, malls, big boxes. Others died
out when subsequent generations chose
college and professional careers over sell-
ing watches, clothes or meat.
But back to our modern day entrepre-
neurs. In our opinion they have guts. They
have old fashioned work ethics. They
have ideas. They have dreams.
In the past year or so the Dispatch has
run stories about business start ups from
the up scale bar and restaurant in Hugh-
estown to the film-to-DVD business in
Wyoming to the breakfast and lunch and
the high quality NewYork City-style Ital-
ian restaurants on South Main to the pizza
restaurant on North Main.
The Dispatch as also done stories on
business which have survived to celebrate
anniversaries. Cookie Corner and Saba-
telles are good examples.
Thinking of Sabatelles it strikes us that
as much as it is a celebration of the toma-
to, the Tomato Festival is really a celebra-
tion of small businesses, without which
the festival could not exist.
Come to think of it, not much of any-
thing as we know it could exist without
small businesses.
So to all you would be entrepreneurs
out there, thank you for your dreams, your
ideas, your work ethic.
Entrepreneurs you rock our world.
Entrepreneurs
rock our world
On behalf of the Tomato Festival Committee thank you for the
kind words about our committee in last weeks editorial.
I dont think weve ever been recognized so eloquently and we
humbly appreciate your kind words about our efforts to present a
festival in which all of us can be proud.
Sure, we hear complaints and we volunteer countless hours,
but it is trulyis a labor of love. Love for the people inour commu-
nity...love for Pittston.
And whats not to love? We have something so special here; a
colorful history, a sense of community pride and friendships that
span generations.
We have been fortunate that we have a seasoned committee
with members who were there fromthe beginning, and recently,
several young people have expressed interest in taking on addi-
tional responsibilities. It is our hope that the next generation will
be inspired to join us as we continue to make our festival better
every year.
The Festivals success is the result of teamwork. With the sup-
port of dedicated committee members, Pittston City Officials,
and our entire community, the Pittston Tomato Festival will con-
tinue to thrive for many years to come.
Sincerely,
Lori Nocito

On behalf of the Oblates of St. Joseph priests of Greater Pitt-
ston, I would like to express deepest gratitude to all who assisted
with our first ever FUN FEST last Saturday.
This was first time event that involved much planning and
hard work. I amespecially grateful to the chairperson and newly
elected president of our OSJ Lay Association, Elaine Fisher, for
overseeing the event. I was touched by the number of people
fromparishes throughout Greater Pittston who volunteered long
hours.
Many fromthe local business community, as well, also assist-
edwithfinancial donations, loaningof equipment andsupplying
gifts for the specialtybaskets. Amongthem, I wouldlike tothank
the voice of Pittston the Sunday Dispatch for their extensive
coverage of this event.
Gratitude must also be expressed for the outstanding cooper-
ation from the Laflin police and fire departments.
Finally, my heartfelt appreciation to all of our friends who
came out to support us and enjoyed the delicious foods and many
activities.
Unfortunately, mother nature was not cooperative as she
sent some rain down upon us, but it did not dampen the spirits of
our people and the joyful atmosphere among everyone.
God bless each and every one of you for your hard work and
support of our seminary.
We hope tomake this anannual event for our local community,
with the help of God and the ever-loyal support of the wonderful
people of my hometown.
Sincerely,
Father Paul A. McDonnell, OSJ
Rector Oblates of St. Joseph Seminary
Oblate Fathers send Thank you

Some 40 years ago in one of those fact books
for hipsters it might have been the Peoples
Almanac which was published in 1975 -- there
was a list of areas with the highest concentration
of mom and pop taverns.
Now Im trying to remember something from
the 70s, so bare with me, but I think the list was a
top 10. Of the ten areas with lots of little bars
nine were neighborhoods in Milwaukee, a town
made famous by beer, and the other was -- you
guessed it, we are right in the middle of it
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
There may have been a lot bars in Pittston 40
years ago, but in 1975 we were practically Bap-
tists compared to 60 years before that. One
hundred years ago in 1911 there were 75 licensed
bars in Pittston. Today there are 14 not counting
private clubs and that includes two Convenient
Stores. Most of the other 12 are more restaurant
than bar.
But 100 years ago most of them were more bar
than restaurant unless you were partial to pickled
eggs. In some sections along Main Street the
front doors lined the sidewalks.
There were nine bars between 635 and 677
North Main Street in the first of the then 11
wards in Pittston. Thomas Milauckas ran a bar at
647 North Main. Thomas Rowans was at 649
and M.J. Tooles was at 653.
There were 12 in what was then the second
ward between 127 and 197 North Main. Among
those were Frank Katkowskis bar at 187, Joe
Kemeziss at 189 and Charles Rudaitiss at 193
North Main.
Like those three, most of the other nine bars in
that ward had Eastern European surnames. Eth-
nic sections were a trend throughout the city. For
example down on South Main in the ninth ward
John Barrett, Oliver Burke, Daniel Cavanaugh,
Charles Heffron, Patrick Kearney, William
McAndrew and John Tierney ran establishments.
In the third ward at 385, 449 and 453 North Main
Lynott, OBrien and Langan were pouring em.
All but 10 of the 75 bars in Pittston in 1911
were on Main Street. Six of the off-Main bars
were in the fifth and sixth wards on Centre,
Stark, Mill, Carroll, Broad and Ewen Streets.
Among the owners were Charles Kizis and El-
izabeth Boos, one of the few female licensees.
Barbara Boyle was another. She ran a hotel at 25
Water Street.
Italian-owned bars werent common. Luigo
Bianco had one at 635 North Main and Chiavac-
cie Leopolo one at 53 South Main. Michael Lo-
quasto, Guiseppe Matarazzi and Peter Peovesano
had bars on South Main, but Ralph Restuccia did
not. He applied for a license but was denied by a
county judge.
There was no LCB in 1911 and liquor licenses
applications were heard in open court by county
judges. They held regular hearings and a lot of
citizens testified for and against. The testimonies
against allowing licenses were called remon-
strances. The Reverend J. J. Curran of Holy
Savior Church in Wilkes-Barre would spend all
day in court giving remonstrances. He refused to
accept donations from bar owners. In his sermon
on February 20, 1911 he said, I will send out
pledge cards to every adult member of the con-
gregation next week and I expect you will sign
and return them to me before Lent.
Wonder how that worked out?
Anyway, the county judges had to decide
whether to grant or deny every license in the
county every year -- be it an existing license
under the same name as the year before, an appli-
cation to buy an existing license or an application
for a new license and there were a lot of them.
Wilkes-Barre alone had 176 bars. The process
took two months.
In March of 1911 Judge Fuller denied all 50
petitions for new licenses in Nanticoke, where
there were already 103 bars for a population of a
little over 18,000 which meant there was a bar for
every 180 residents. Adding 50 new bars would
reduce that ratio to a bar for every 125 residents,
and Judge Fuller, who must have been a bit of a
comedian, said, Those proportions exceed any
that exist in another civilized or uncivilized com-
munity on the face of the earth except the bor-
ough of Freeland. Freeland had 75 bars and a
population of 6,197 for a ratio of one bar for
every 80 men, women and children in town.
In the Pittston area besides the 75 licenses in
the city in 1911 there were 37 in Duryea, 22 in
Avoca, 21 in Exeter, 9 in Wyoming, 7 each in
Hughestown and West Wyoming and one in
Yatesville. West Pittston was dry and remained
so until after prohibition.
Going into the bar business then, as now, was
expensive. A license was $250. A lot of the own-
ers, especially those staring up or buying existing
licenses, hired lawyers who charged $300 to
$500. That was a chunk of change for an owner
who might be expected to clear $1,000 in a year.
Its weird to imagine how prohibition changed
things. Was it like one day in 1920 there were 75
businesses in Pittston providing 150 or so jobs
and the next day they were gone? Some of those
bars turned into luncheonettes, pool rooms, cigar
stores, and pop shops, but how many of those
could thirsty miners support?
Some of the bars, of course, went right on
selling alcohol, when they could get it, with a
wink and a nod from the local police who didnt
see it as their job to enforce prohibition. The
county, state and federal government did the
enforcing, such as it was.
In newspaper archives I looked at the names of
license applicants in the Pittston area in 1911 and
1912. Of the close to 200 names I looked at I
found only one which I recognized as surviving
prohibition.
Jacob Walutes had a bar on Seventh Street in
Wyoming in 1911. His grandson Barry ran the
same bar into the 1990s.

a lot of calories. Our bodies have a way of telling our brain that we
have achieved that fullness in our stomach. The key is to weight loss
and management is to fill your stomach with fewer calories and
achieve that fullness feeling. This mechanism can sometimes give
mixed signals especially if we have something called sleep apnea.
The two appetite-regulating hormones that come into play are
called ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin, which is produced in the gastroin-
testinal tract, stimulates appetite, while leptin, produced in fat cells,
sends a signal to the brain when you are full. Studies show the pro-
duction of these may be influenced by how much or how little we
sleep. When you dont get enough sleep, it drives leptin levels down,
which means you dont feel as satisfied after you eat. Lack of sleep
also causes ghrelin levels to rise, which means your appetite is stim-
ulated, so you want more food.
One of the more interesting studies in this area came fromStanford
andthe Universityof Wisconsin. About 1,000volunteers reportedthe
number of hours they slept each night. Doctors then measured their
levels of ghrelin and leptin, as well as charted their weight. They
found those who slept less than eight hours a night not only had lower
levels of leptin and higher levels of ghrelin, but also a higher level of
body fat. And, those who slept the fewest hours per night weighed the
most.
But there was an interesting finding for those in the study with
sleep apnea. They actually had unusually high leptin levels, which
should not be contributing to weight gain. Researchers believe those
with sleep apnea may be leptin-resistant (just like those with Type 2
diabetes are insulin-resistant) meaning there is leptin in the blood
stream, but they are not responding to it. In other words, the body is
tryingtotell a persontostopeating, but his or her brainisnt receiving
the message.
The research also revealed when sleep apnea is treated, ghrelin lev-
els go down reducing appetite, and there is less resistance to leptin,
which allows the brain to receive the signal that a person is full. Not
only does the treatment of sleep apnea possibly affect appetite so a
person eats less, it also boosts energy and activity. In addition, if a
person is not as tired, he or she wont need to rely on sweet foods and
high carbohydrate snacks to keep themawake, and that means eating
fewer calories. Enjoy this easy to make tomato side dish.
Skillet Zucchini w/Chopped Tomatoes

If you suspect you might have sleep apnea, talk to your doctor
about testing options. For more information about sleep apnea, go to

Last week I wrote
about the ninth an-
nual Dispatch Cup
1988 Golf Tourna-
ment set for Fox
Hill Country Club
and asked if anyone
remembered the
outcome. Len Cole-
man the golf coach
for the combined Wyoming Area and
Pittston Area team called to let us
know that Wyoming Area took the
overall team championship and Matt
Burdett of Pittston Area took the indi-
vidual low score. Thank you Len.
Question #1
In 1950, what did several Pittston
gentlemen engage in that involved a
Pallino?
1950 61 Years Ago
As the body of Private Francis
Guitson of Duryea arrived at the D.L.
& W. Station in Scranton, several
young men were reporting as draftees
for the escalating Korean conflict.
Private Guitson, a member of the
52nd Armored Infantry Battalion that
participated in both D-Day action and
the Battle of the Bulge, died as a pris-
oner of war in 1945 during World War
II. The Korean conflict was heating
up. Inchon was the site of a new of-
fensive planned by UN and US troops
lead by General Douglas McArthur.
Several local organizations decided to
hold an event to honor new enlistees
and reservists re-entering service. Lt
John Martin and Jack Williams of
Pittston were called back. Corporal
Charles Davis of Dupont and Pfc.
Robert Venetz of West Pittston al-
ready serving were on their way to
Korea. The victory at Inchon helped
to avoid a harsh winter campaign. By
invading at the northern strong point
behind enemy lines, the UN and US
forces isolated the North Korean army
from supplies and communications.
The Adam Kalmanowicz Post
American Legion and the Exeter
Memorial Post Veterans of Foreign
Wars set up a joint committee to in-
stall markers for two historical points
in the Battle of Wyoming of July 3,
1778. Leonard Campbell, Jess Lipf-
ert, Ben Anselmi, Thomas McNeil,
John Hetro, Joseph Petrosky and
Alphonse Chepalis investigated the
cost of erecting plaques at the loca-
tion of Fort Wintermute, the British
quarters, and the line upon which the
Battle of Wyoming began on Battle
Avenue extending to Wyoming Ave-
nue. The bronze plaques were to be
fastened to boulders. According to
www.northamericanforts.com, Fort
Wintermute was a stockade house
built by Tory settlers from New York.
Also spelled. Wintermoot, and also
known as Wintermoots Fort, the set-
tlers there sided with the British
forces attacking the Wyoming Valley
in July 1778, but the fort was burned
anyway. Site is located between
Wyoming Avenue and the Susquehan-
na River. The project was expected to
be completed by November 11, 1950.

ject go to www.explorepahistory.com
1960 51 Years ago
At 3:01 a.m. on August 21, 1960
The Bell Telephone Company placed
direct distance dialing in operation
affecting local central offices. Local
customers with more than 18,000
phones could call approximately 40
million phones in 9,000 communities
in the United States and Canada. The
cost of preparation for this service
was $800,000. In order to make this
possible the United States and Canada
were divided into more than 100 dial-
ing areas each with its own three-digit
area code. Calls were automatically
recorded on continuous perforated
tapes that were later processed into
accounting machines for billing.
Two local gentlemen, Jess Lipfert
of Exeter and Henry Knowles of
West Pittston had quite a friendly
rivalry going.
Both avid gardeners, the men took
home a total of 43 ribbons at a local
garden show sponsored by Lehman
Flower Club. Lipfert took home 28
ribbons and Knowles 15. At an earlier
show Knowles took 15 ribbons for his
dahlias, black knight Pacific hybrid
delphinium, Evangeline lovely pinks,
dahlia flowered zinnia, carnation,
French dwarf single marigold and a
white toreni. Lipfert took six ribbons
for his house plant entries. A show in
New Hope was next on the schedule
for the two men.
The razing of Wilson School in
Duryea was a priority of city council
as an inspection revealed the building
to be a fire hazard. At an earlier fire,
a container of gasoline was discovered
in a stairwell of the building. Council
agreed to notify owners of their deci-
sion.
Psycho was showing at the Amer-
ican Theatre, Hercules Unchained
was screened at the Oak Hill Drive-In
and Elmer Gantry played at the
Comerford Drive-In in Dupont.
1970 41 Years Ago
John Finan of Pittston and Stanley
Osiecki of Harding were fishing near
Coxton yards when they heard cries
for help. Both men quickly maneu-
vered their boat to the area behind
Dymonds Store and the source of
the cries and found three boys caught
in a deep swift current. Finan and
Osiecki pulled the three boys ranging
in age from 15 to 17 out of the river. It
seemed the boys were trying to catch
some bait and waded into a dangerous
section. Earlier in the summer, Mr.
Osiecki rescued an exhausted young
girl swimming across the river in the
same location.
Navy Seaman William R. Ross of
Wyoming and Navy Seaman Appren-
tice Donald J. Banellis of Pittston
were serving aboard the USS Forres-
tal in the Mediterranean. The first
carrier built specifically to support jet
aircraft. The ship was affectionately
called "The FID" because James For-
restal was the first Secretary of De-
fense, FID standing for "First In De-
fense". The ship was decommissioned
on September 11 1993. After a valiant
struggle by many supporters to have
her transitioned to a naval museum,
the ship is moored at Pier 4 in Phila-
delphia, next to USS John F. Kenne-
dy. It is expected either Forrestal will
remain there until the Navy sells her
as scrap, is sunk as a target, or scut-
tled as an artificial reef.

Question #2
St. John the Evangelist Church ex-
perienced a first in 1980, what was it?
1980 31 Yeas Ago
The Wyoming Theatre was listed
in the official state records as the
oldest continuously operating motion
picture theatre in the state in 1980.
Celebrating its 68th anniversary own-
er Lou Marinos and his wife Noreen
continued the business his family had
started on August 15, 1912. Marinos
attributed the biggest box office at-
traction to Gone With The Wind,
which ran 17 times to a packed house.
Ann Marie Pompino of Old Bos-
ton and Roberta Voveris of Pittston
spent their summer vacation aboard
the SS Rotterdam on a seven-day
cruise to Nassau and Paradise Island.
Launched in September 1958, The
Rotterdam was one of the most suc-
cessful passenger ships of all time.
After 49 years at sea, the ship return-
ed to the city of Rotterdam, Nether-
lands on August 8, 2008 and now
serves as a combination museum/hotel
and school for vocational training.

Dupont Borough Council ap-
proved the Pave Patch Work
Project at Tuesdays Council
meeting with the job tentatively
scheduled for September 10.
Street intersections designat-
ed for patching are Simpson,
Curtain, Lincoln and Smith.
Council members Mark Ko-
walczyk and Jeff Kaminski de-
tailed the project to residents in
attendance at the Council meet-
ing. Joe Mihalka will provide
the paver and roller, council
members will donate their la-
bor, and the borough will pur-
chase the blacktop and rent two
tri-axles to complete a scratch
coat. Kowalczyk explained that
the patching project is not a
complete pave job but it will
make the roadways passable
and smoother to travel. This
should hold the streets for a
couple of years until additional
grant monies are awarded to
pave curb to curb.
Council previously approved
the project with the cost not to
exceed $4,500. The total cost
including the blacktop comes to
$4,100. Kowalczyk noted that
Mihalka was helpful in keeping
the project within budget, leav-
ing a little room in case a sec-
tion needs more work. Acting
Police Chief Sgt. Saranchuk re-
quested a list of street and the
police department will enforce
a no parking zone when the
work begins.

chuk presented information at

tions of Vice-President, Trea-
surer and Secretary will be open

partment in taking part in
groups first fundraising at the

August 13. Members of the po-
lice department took the plunge
in the Dunk Tank with the mo-
nies raised going to the Crime
Watch.
Camera System purchased
The recent rash of vandalism
at the Community Park had led
Dupont Borough Council to
take swift action at Tuesdays
meeting and approve the pur-
chase of a camera system to
monitor the park. Acting Police
Chief Sgt Saranchuk will have
nonstop police surveillance un-
til the system is installed. No-
tice to residents: Bicycles and

Three local men Lou Ciampi Jr., Ge-
orge Aldrich, and Joe Pizano -- will be
among the16 local sportsmen and women
who are being inducted into the Luzerne
County Sports Hall of Fame today Sun-
day, August 21. No tickets are available at
the door.
In addition George Miller will be hon-
ored with the SamFalcone Award, named
for one of the founders and the first presi-
dent of the Luzerne County Sports Hall of
Fame. The Sam Falcone Award is pre-
sented yearly to a person in recognition of
their dedication to sports and community
service.
Lou Ciampi
Back in 1980 the PIAA didnt run a
football state championship tournament.
But if it had Wyoming Area might well
have been in the championship game and
Lou Bikes Ciampi, a center, nose guard
and captain of that team, would have been
right in the middle of things.
As things were the 1980 Warriors were
12-0 and beat Pottsville 29-27 in the East-
ern Conference Championship game that
season. Pottsville was considered the no.
1 team in the state going into the game.
Asked his reaction to being called for
induction, Ciampi joked. When they
called I said, you knowthis isnt Dolhon,
referring to Greg Dolhon who was the
teams offensive star and winner of the
Falcone Trophy as MVP of the Pittston
Area game that season.
On a serious note he said, Imhonored
to be inducted into the Luzerne County
hall of fame and join not only some great
ball players much more talented than my-
self, but to join people who have given so
much back to this community.
Ciampi was a 3-year letterman and 2-
year starter for WA. He was an All Con-
ference Center his junior and senior
years. Wyoming Area was 32-4 during his
varsity career. The12-01980 season is the
programs only undefeated season.
At Dickinson College Ciampi was a
four-year letterman. A three-year starter
at center, he was captain his senior year
and received the Coaches Award in 1984.
He is co-founder of the Wyoming Area
Football Alumni Association which
raised thousands for a weight room,
scoreboard, equipment and scholarships.
Ciampi isnt all about football. He was
the founder of the Luzerne County Jump-
A-Thon raising thousands for the Lu-
zerne County Heart Association and hes
a youth soccer coach.
He is president of Independent Graphi-
cs, Inc. in Pittston. Ciampi lives in
Wyoming with his wife Lisa and three
children, Louis 6, Nicholas 3 and Mia 10
months.
Asked for one standout memory from
his playing days, Ciampi recalled the fi-
nal play of that 1980 championship game
against Pottsville when Pottsville missed
a field goal attempt which would have
won the game.
I was rushing on the play. When the
kick went off I didnt immediately realize
they would have won the game if it was
good. The moment it hit me they could
have won is frozen in time. But they didnt
win. We did.
George Aldrich
George Aldrich was a three-sport ath-
lete in his younger days. At Pittston Area
High School he concentrated on basket-
ball with outstanding results. In his senior
season 1977-1978 the Patriots won the
District 2 championship and Aldrich won
two Wyoming Valley Conference Most
Valuable Player awards, the official con-
ference MVP and the Hughestown Sports
Clubs "Gene Guarilia" Award for WVCs
Most Outstanding Player.
Aldrich was a four-year starter at
Kings College and was Mid-Atlantic
Conference All-League his junior year
and MAC League MVP his senior year.
When he graduated in 1982, he was the
schools second all-time leading scorer.
George played three years with the Scran-
ton Miners. He played two years with the
Washington Generals playing in 40 coun-
tries on a Harlem Globetrotters World
Tour.
He owns and operates Aldrich Medical
Supply in Pittston and Clarks Summit. An
avid golfer, Aldrich is a member of the
Glenmaura Golf Club. Aldrich resides in
Avoca with his wife Jean Ann. They have
three children: Julia, Lauren and William.
Asked for his reaction to being induct-
ed, Aldrich said, I wasnt expecting it
thats for sure. When I got the letter from
the committee, I was pleasantly surprised
and excited.
For a guy who was a league MVP in
high school and college and played all
over the world, Aldrichs best memories
are of his youth, the Jolly boys and Stan
Waleski.
Growing up in Avoca I had the great
fortune to play at the Avoca Community
Center where the Jolly Boys ran every-
thing. That place was no bigger than a liv-
ing room, but to me it was like Madison
Square Garden. I remember Stan Wales-
ki, he was only in high school himself,
would get yelled at in practice by coach
Jack Farrell at Scranton Prep and then
come down to Avoca and put us through
drills. He drove us around to tournaments
which was pretty impressive since he was
only in high school himself.
Things came full circle. These days Al-

trievers he couldnt pass it up.
They had a lefty drop out and
they invited me down for a visit. I
really liked the school and they
offered on the visit. Its an oppor-
tunity I couldnt pass up.
The opportunity was also
something Bone had earned ac-
cording to Pittston Area Pitching
Coach John Richards.
The growth in him is amaz-
ing, said Richards of Bones de-
velopment during his three years
playing for the Patriots. The kid
worked his butt off but it was his
self-confidence that pushed him
over the top.
PittstonArea HeadCoachPaul
Zaffuto agreed.
Jordans maturity level has
gone up tremendously over the
past year, said the veteran Patri-
ots skipper. We were impressed
with his talent as a sophomore,
but as a junior he didnt display
the confidence, desire or moxie
that was needed to put himin the
toptier of pitchers. He gave intoo
much.
But he put in a whole sum-
mers work before his senior year
on his mechanics and he started
to believe he was one of the best
pitchers. Once he gained that
confidence, he never looked
back.
Bone stands just 59 and
weights 160-pounds, but his me-
chanics are what attracted
UMBC coaches to him.
They loved him mechanical-
ly, saidRichards. Once theygot
around to looking at some tape of
Jordanit just tookoff fromthere.
Bone becomes the third PA
player under ZaffutotoplayDivi-
sion I baseball. Former Patriots
shortstop Chris Tonte played at
Pitt, and first baseman Sam Par-
ente will play for the Panthers
this fall. Both spent two seasons
at Lackawanna before moving on
to play Division I.
It is something Bone is taking
pride it.
I think it is pretty cool to be
the third person (to play Division
I). said Bone. I owe it to my
coaches. They have coached a lot
of great players, andknowwhat it
takes to be successful.
It feels good to help get some
recognition for our program.
UMBC plays in the America
East Conference against Albany,
Binghamton, Boston University,
Hartford, Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Stony Brook and Vermont.

Bone to pitch for Division I UMBC
Pittston Area grad accepted offer in late July
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
Pittston Area lefty Jordan Bone will pitch for Division I Maryland
Baltimore County this coming year.
On her way to college this
past week, Old Forges Andi
Alsalahat got some news she
certainly wasnt expecting but
was still glad to hear.
Alsalahat was named to the
Pennsylvania Softball Coach
Association All-State team,
earning First-Team honors on
the Class 1A team as a third
baseman. Its the second time
Alsalahat was named to the
PSCA team. She earned honor-
able mention honors as a soph-
omore catcher in 2009 after the
Blue Devils trip to the PIAA
State Championship game.
I actually found out about it
while I was on my way to UF,
Alsalahat said of her trip south
to the University of Florida.
First-Team All-State has been
one of my goals since I first
started playing softball. I was
really shocked considering I
didnt make the league (first-
team) team. But this makes up
for it.
To achieve this goal is one
of the greatest feelings.
Old Forge Head Coach Pat
Revello was one person who
wasnt shocked to learn about
Alsalahats selection.
I was more surprised she
wasnt selected to the first-
team in our league, said Rev-
ello of Alsalahat being named
to just second-team on the
Lackawanna Division II
Coaches All-Star Team. Its a
shame the coaches in our
league didnt recognize what
the coaches around the state
did. She has worked on her
game year round ever since
Ive know her. She has been a
leader since the first day she
came to us as a freshman, and
the toughness she has shown
throughout her career, playing
through injuries, is a credit to
her.
The honor given to her is
very deserving.
Alsalahat burst onto the
scene as a freshman third base-
man, helping lead the Blue

Brandon Matthews may be one of the
most talked about athletes in the area.
However, Pittston Area has more than one
solid player on its 2011 golf squad.
Veteran Head Coach Len Benfante is
excited about his whole team this year,
which includes his top five players from
2010.
Matthews and juniors Ryan Tracy, Matt
Carroll, C.J. Lynch and Calvin OBoyle
all enjoyed success last year for the Patri-
ots and all will have a chance to do so this
season as well.
Matthews has a long list of accolades.
Perhaps the best of all is winning the 2010
PIAAState Championship as a junior. He
returns for his senior year and should be
the areas top player.
He will also look to go 4-for-4 at the
annual Wyoming Valley Conference Tom
Tryba Preseason Tournament. With his
Tryba win last season, he became the only
player in the tournaments history to win
the title three times.
In addition to Matthews, the Patriots al-
so return another very good player Tracy.
He was a big part of the Patriots success
last year andhas playedall summer topre-
pare for this season. He also competed in
last years District II Championship tour-
nament, finishing in the top half by card-
ing an 88.
Not far behind Tracy in the final results
of last years district tournament was Car-
roll. He finished just one stroke behind
Tracy with an 89.
Rounding out the top five for Pittston
Area is Lynch and OBoyle. Both players
are experienced in Wyoming Valley Con-
ference matches and should contribute
heavily this season.
Although the top five is all but set in
stone, the Patriots still need a sixth golfer
to start in their matches. The competition
for the sixth spot consists of Matt Pieran-
toni (junior) and Todd Mitchell (senior).
Another player Benfante believes has a
chance to contribute this season is new-
comer Angelo Guariglia.
The Patriots will be a heavy favorite in
their division. However, the league is a
different story. They will go to battle with
Holy Redeemer for the league title. Ben-
fante admits it wont be an easy task.
The league favorite I believe is Holy
Redeemer, Benfante said. With that be-
ing said, I think we should win our divi-
sion.
Although he believes they will win the
division this season, he doesnt think it
will be easy.
We have all of our players coming
backandwe wonthe divisionlast season,
Benfante said. But, I dont think were
going to be able to walk through it. It
wouldnt surprise me if we dropped an
away match to Coughlin or Tunkhannock
at Tunkhannock.
If the Patriots win their division they
will most likely meet the Royals in the
playoffs.
For the league title, Im going to say
Redeemer is the favorite, Benfante said.
Until we beat them, people can say all
they want about how we have Brandon
(Matthews). We didnt beat themlast year
and we had Brandon.
But that doesnt mean Benfante doesnt
think his team cannot beat the Royals.
Personally, I will be upset if we dont
beat them, Benfante said. We made the
playoffs, now the next step is to win the
league.

There is one thing in particular
which has Wyoming Area golf
coach Gordon Williams very ex-
cited about the upcoming season.
The second year Warriors head
coachonlylost onekeypart of last
years team, Stan Yanik. Other
then losing his No. 5 golfer from
last year, Williams returns many
players who have had experience
startingonthe links inthe Wyom-
ing Valley Conference.
Among the returning starters is
senior Nick Rydzewski. He will
be Wyoming Areas No. 1 golfer
this year and will be a big part of
any success Wyoming Area will
enjoy this season.
Rydzewski was the only War-
rior to make an appearance in last
seasons District II Individual
Boys Championship tournament.
He carded a 96 as a junior and
shouldget a chance tocompete in
the post-season tournament this
year as well.
Nick is our No. 1 right now,
Williams said. He keeps getting
better and will be a big part of our
team this season.
He may have been the only
male member on his team to
make the District II Champion-
ship Tournament, however, he
was not the only fromhis teamto
earn the right to compete.

Wyoming Valley Conference
scene and was a huge part of last
years Wyoming Area squad. She
was one of two girls from the
Wyoming Valley Conference to
compete in the District II Cham-
pionships.
Melvin finished 11th overall in
the tournament as a freshman.
Williams marveled about how
much she has improved over the
summer and expects her to play a
huge role on this years team as a
sophomore.
Courtney improved by about
five strokes over the summer and
if she keeps improving by five
strokes everyyear, she will be un-

Playing in the Lackawanna
Scholastic Golf Leagues
Southern Division proves to
be a challenge year-in and
year-out for the Old Forge
Blue Devils. And this year
will be no different.
Despite a disappointing
2010 campaign, sixth-year
head coach Joe DeStefano
expects his Blue Devils to
compete for one of the final
three playoff spots that the
division is awarded come the
post-season.
Last year, Old Forge (4-7)
missed out on the league
playoffs, finishing one match
behind arch-rival Riverside,
who they beat during the
opening week of play, for the
final spot in the post-season.
The Blue Devils also lost
five of its top six players
from that squad.
So what makes DeStefano
so optimistic about 2011?
The return of senior Corey
Palma.
Palma finished with a team
best 8-1-1 individual record
as a junior, and also added
five wins in better-ball com-
petition. He also finished
sixth in the season-opening
Jackman Tournament in
2010.
Corey should be one of
the top players in the league
this year, said DeStefano.
He will be our No. 1 player.
There wont be a match that I
will hesitate to put him in the

der par by the time she is a senior, Wil-
liams said with a chuckle.
Zack Mulhern returns for his junior
season and will take the helmat the num-
ber two spot playing matches along side
Rydzewski.
Conner Mangan will also play a bigger
role this season than he did last season.
Conner really stepped it up this year,
Williams said. He played a lot over the
summer andshoulddogoodthings for us
this season.
Amongother players Williams expects
to see time in the starting lineup are, Jake
Wysocki (junior), Collin Herron (sopho-
more) and Mike Carey (junior)
Rounding out the Wyoming Area ros-
ter is, Evan Ryder (junior), Jude Polit-
Moran(freshman), MikeKolessar (fresh-
man), Sal Polit-Moran (junior), and Sa-
mantha Williams (freshman).
Asfor matchesWilliamsislookingfor-
ward too? There is no surprise when he
mentioned the Cross-River Rivalry be-
tween the Warriors and the Pittston Area
Patriots, and his teams opening match
against Coughlin on Monday.
Obviously they (Pittston) have a team
filled with great players, Williams said.
With the exception of them (Pittston)
and Redeemer, I think we can do very
well against the rest of our schedule.
After a disappointing 2-8 record last
year, Williams believes his teamis much
improved. So improved, he has set a goal
of seven wins for his squad this season.
In terms of record, Id like to have sev-
en wins. Thats a pretty steep goal, Wil-
liamssaid. Not undefeated, but withalit-
tle luckonour side sevenwins is doable.
WARRIORS
No. 1 spot. He could pretty much beat
anyone in the league.
Palma, however, is the lone return-
ing starter from last years team. Se-
nior Adam Barsigian started two
matches early last season, but gave
way to an upperclassman as the senior
progressed.
Corey is going to have to be a lead-
er this year, said DeStefano. We on-
ly have one other guy with starting
experience back. But there are quite a
few seniors that I expect their experi-
ence in other sports to come through
for us on the golf course this year.
That group of seniors includes Bar-
sigian, Ian Nemetz and J Argonish
all three sport athletes for the Blue
Devils. Senior Nick Grevera is also in
the starting mix along with juniors
Tyler Cavalari and Jared Heckman,
and freshman AJ Cantarella.
The seniors are in the drivers
seat, said DeStefano when it comes
to filling out his six-man lineup. But
we will see how they do this week. We
have quite a few juniors and sopho-
mores that could push them to start,
and freshman AJ Cantarella has a
nice swing.
The division is hard with the nor-
mal top teams Scranton Prep,
Abington Heights and North Pocono.
But we should compete for one of the
remaining playoff spots.
The Blue Devils open their season
tomorrow against Scranton at Sum-
mit Hills at 1 p.m. before taking on
arch-rival Riverside on Wednesday at
Pine Hills at 10:30 a.m.

Theres no doubt that our
strong heritage and tradition of
hunting and fishing is still alive
in our area. It is however easy to
see how modern day life styles
have changed things a bit, actual-
ly quite a bit. We used to wait for
the weekend to go hunting and
fishing. The thought of a day on
the river or in the field with my
father and grandfather would
keep me up at night during the
week. When Saturday finally ar-
rived I was up before the alarm
clock and waiting for the outdoor
adventure to begin.
We didnt have to talk about it.
Saturdays were meant for out-
door recreation and that was that.
Many adults in the valley worked
hard through the week and found
piece of mind on the weekend by
jumping in a boat for a fishing
trip or grabbing their shotguns or
rifles for a hunt. I do remember
missing a fewdays of hunting be-
cause of football but it didnt
keep me fromlooking forward to
the next adventure. I know that
times have changed and there are
many newchallenges and oppor-
tunities facing todays families. I
just beg you to not forget your
roots and try to make the hunting
and fishing sports a part of your
life. Most of it starts at home with
children.
The Pennsylvania Fish and
Boat Commission and the Penn-
sylvania Game Commission are
working hard to entice new
sportsmen and promote hunting
and fishing to todays youth. The
Fish and Boat Commission is
working hard at recruiting new
anglers. They have a program
calledFish-for-Free Days andthe
response has been overwhelm-
ing. They are continuing the La-
bor Day and Memorial day Fish-
for Free Days and they have ex-
panded the outreach to regional-
ized Family Fishing Festival
days.
There are Family Fishing Fes-
tivals scheduled at six locations
across the state on Labor Day
Weekend and one of them will
take place right here in our back-
yard. On Saturday, September 3,
the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission will host a Family
Fishing Festival at Frances Slo-
cum State Park. The Commis-
sion says the Family Fishing Fes-
tivals are free educational events
designed for families with little
or no fishing experience; Partici-
pating families will learn basic
fishing skills and have an oppor-
tunity to practice those skills
while fishing together during the
program. The festival will be
held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at
Frances Slocum. The usual fish-
inglicense requirement is waived
for registered festival participa-
nts 16 and older. The program is
open to all ages. However, it is
designed for children ages 5 and
older. All equipment, bait and
tackle will be provided.
Space is limited at the event, so
pre-registration is required.
Deadline for registration is Aug.
31, and there will be no registra-
tion taken the day of the event.
You can register online at
www.fishandboat.com/fishfor-
free.htm or you can contact the
Northeast Office of the Fish
Commission in Sweet Valley by
calling 570-477-2206. This is an
amazing opportunity to get fam-
ily and children involved in fish-
ing. Dont hesitate to take advan-
tage of it. The Commission also
has another Fish-for Free Day the
same weekend. On Labor Day,
Monday Sept. 5, its the Commis-
sions second Fish-for-Free Day
for 2011. This day allows anyone
(resident or non-resident) to le-
gally fish with no fishing license
required on all Pennsylvanias
waterways on this day. All other
fishing regulations still apply.
Early hunting seasons
The early goose and dove sea-
sons open on Thursday, Septem-
ber 1. Dove hunters will have the
opportunity to participate in a tri-
ple-split season. During the first
season, Sept. 1-Oct. 1, hunting
will start at noon and close at
sunset daily. The second and
third splits will be Oct. 29-Nov.
26, and Dec. 26-Jan 4, with hunt-
ing hours a half-hour before sun-
rise until sunset. In all three sea-
sons, the daily bag limit will be
15, and the possession limit will
be 30.
The early statewide season for
resident Canada geese will open
Sept. 1, and continue through
Sept. 24. The early season daily
bag limit is 8 Canada geese and
possession limit of 16.The Game
Commission is trying to manage
the resident goose population
through this early season and lib-
eral bag limits. They believe that
goose hunting opportunities,
along with control programs be-
ing implemented by many mu-
nicipalities and public and pri-
vate landowners, appear to be
stabilizing the growth of the
states resident Canada goose
population. Hunting is consid-
ered a major management tool.
The push to get our youth in-
volved in hunting is a major con-
cern to many of us and the com-
mission is trying to open every
path they can. For example,
young Pennsylvania hunters will
be provided with an extra day of
waterfowl hunting on Saturday,
Sept. 17 and 24. The Youth Wa-
terfowl Days, which previously
were limited to one day, are open
to those 12- to 15-years-old who
hold a junior hunting license. To
participate, a youngster must be
accompanied by an adult, who
may assist the youth in calling,
duck identification and other as-
pects of the hunt. During these
special two day-long hunts,
youth can harvest ducks, mer-
gansers, coots and moorhens. In
addition, because the Youth Wa-
terfowl Days and the early Cana-
da goose seasonoverlapthis year,
youth and the adults accompany-
ing them may harvest Canada
geese.
Remember that every migrato-
ry game bird hunter, including
doves and woodcock hunters, are
required to obtain and carry a
Pennsylvania migratory game
bird license ($3.70 for residents,
$6.70 for non-residents), as well
as a general hunting, combina-
tion or lifetime license. All wa-
terfowl hunters age 16 and older
also must possess a federal mi-
gratory game bird and conserva-
tion (duck) stamp.

Joe Pizano
If Joe Pizano doesnt bleed
green and gold nobody does.
Not only was Pizano one of the
best two-sport athletes in school
history, hes on the Wyoming
faculty, has been an assistant

seasons. His track and field
teams are 64-5-1 overall with
eight Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence titles and one the District 2
AAA championship. He has
coached athletes, both boys and
girls, who have broken over 100
school records in 12 events and
won tons of district hardware
and a few state medals.
As a student at WA, class of
1992, Pizano earned three varsi-
ty letters in football. He was
team captain and first team All
Conference his junior and senior
years.
In track Pizano was junior
high district champion in the tri-
ple jump and junior high district

Councilman. Joe resides in Exe-
ter with his wife Rhonda and
children, Rocco 7, Bianca 6, and
Talia 1.
Joe said he was excited and
honored to be called for induc-
tion.
His best Wyoming Area mem-
ory is the Hazleton game his se-
nior year when he scored touch-
downs receiving, rushing from
scrimmage and by interception
return.
His best Pitt memories are of
the coaches he played under in-
cluding Mike McCarthy, now
the Green Bay Packers head
coach; Chris Petersen, today
Boise State head coach; Sal Sun-
seri, an assistant at Alabama and
TimLewis, the secondary coach
for the Atlanta Falcons.
I try to carry what they did
into what I do as a coach, Piza-
no said.
George Miller
The SamFalcone Award is not
just about athletics and George
Miller is the perfect role model
for a SamFalcone award winner.
Hes got an extensive athletic
background, but hes also given
back to the community at large
in many ways.

and former Fire Chief of West
Pittston Hose Co. #1. He has

cial timekeeper at West Pittston
and Wyoming Area football
game since 1953 and hes still at
it. He also keeps the scorebook
WA basketball.
He said its an honor to be in
rare company. I think there area
only four or five whove gotten
it. I was very honored. I do a lot
and give back.
Georges best memory is from
the Thanksgiving Day football
game versus Forty Fort in his se-
nior season in1949 when he was
the captain of the West Pittston
Rams. I intercepted two passes
and was tackled both times by
Jackie Collins from Forty Fort.
He intercepted two passes and I
tackled him both times.

Devils to their first-ever Dis-
trict 2 Class 1A championship
as an explosive hitter. She
moved behind the plate as a
sophomore and was rewarded
with an honorable mention se-
lection on the PSCA team in
2009 after Old Forge played for
the PIAA State Championship
A few position changes dur-
ing the years that followed due
to injuries to her knee and
throwing shoulder didnt affect
Alsalahat at the plate as re-
mained one of the most feared
hitters in all of District 2.
Her career stats saw her hit
.355 with 60 RBI and 10 home
runs in over 100 games for Old
Forge. As a senior, Alsalahat
batted .440 with 15 RBI and
four homers. She also had a hit
in 20 of Old Forges 24 games
in 2011. The Blue Devils went
74-30 during Alsalahats four
seasons.
(The honor) shows how
well out program has done and
is doing, said Alsalahat, who
plans on trying out for the na-
tionally ranked University of
Florida squad later this month.
We have gained a lot of re-
spect for playing in a very
competitive division with all
bigger schools. Its also a trib-
ute to the great coaching staff
we have.
Alsalahat was the only Dis-
trict 2 player selected to the
Class 1A team, and was one of
just two third baseman selected
the other being Sto-Rox se-
nior Vicky Vuljanic. Other no-

Holy Rosary releases information for 2011-2012 school year
Wyoming Area Guidance De-
partment presented the seventh
annual Career Day on Thursday,
May 19, 2011. The student coun-
cil members helped in introduc-
ing the three motivational speak-
ers and also helped in a meet and
greet to speakers as they arrived
for the day. Student Council led
the juniors in setting the tone for
a highly successful day. The ju-
niors asked some challenging
questions of the many speakers.
Mr. Ray Bernardi, superintend-
ent, welcomed the juniors to the
day. Ed Ackerman, editor of the
Sunday Dispatch and journalism
instructor at LCCC was the key-
note speaker. He set the tone for a
very informative, interesting and
highly successful day. He was in-
troduced by Nick Mazzone,
president of the junior class.
From11to noon during lunch the
juniors were able to participate
in a mini college fair. College
representatives from the seven
local colleges were on hand to
speak with any junior interested
in beginning the college plan-
ning process. The reps were in-
undated with students looking
for information asking ques-
tions, etc.
Twenty two recent Wyoming
Area graduates returnedtospeak
with small groups of juniors
about their experiences after
graduating. Many are enrolled in
college, one had military experi-
ence before college and many
had changed their majors and
some had changed colleges. Sev-
eral hadworkedat some point af-
ter graduation.
The afternoon program in-
cluded Father Paul McDonnell
who was introduced by Donanna
Williams and Joseph DeLucca
who was introduced by Kendra
Radle, a recent JL graduate.
Both of these speakers gave a
motivational talk followed by
Attorney Michael Ferrence, a
practicing attorney, who has spo-
ken the past several years and is
invited back by popular demand.
Angelo Coco, junior introduced
him. Attorney Ferrence has spo-
ken at the last several Career Day
programs and continues to im-
press the students with his story.
The morning offered each ju-
nior four half-hour career ses-
sions with over 38 career speak-
ers representing18 different pro-
fessions participating. Many
Wyoming Area graduates were
on hand to present information
about the various professions.
