I had encountered Timmy a
few times in the hallways of the
Advanced Technology Center at
Luzerne County Community
College, but it wasnt until he
showed up one Monday night a
few years ago for my advertis-
ing class that I really got to
know him.
He won my heart instantly,
not to mention the hearts of
every other student in the room.
A lot of that had to do with
the way he pranced right into
the computer lab and curled up
on the floor in front of me.
But, as I began to talk, I was
informed that if the class that
night were to be a lecture rather
than a lab assignment, Timmy
would need a chair. I had to get
one from the adjacent room and
when I did, Timmy hopped up
on it and sat respectfully for the
entire class.
I remember thinking that no
human in the classroom was
paying as much attention to me
that night as this adorable little
dog.
Yes, Timmy was a dog.
I say was because Timmy
died on January 12. He was just
a few months shy of his 13th
birthday.
Timmy came to college with
his master Neil Young he of
the same name as the famous
rock star.
If anyone questioned Neil
about bringing a dog to school
hed produce a printed card
explaining that Timmy was a
Service Dog and had a legal
right to be there.
If anyone asked what service
Timmy performed, Neil would
produce another card saying he
did not legally have to tell you.
But he did tell me.
Neil explained that he suf-
fered from narcolepsy, a dis-
order that could produce sud-
den sleep attacks, meaning
Neil could drop into sleep at
any time of day without even
knowing it. But that ended
when he got Timmy, who came
into Neils world as a 6-week
old free-to-a-good-home puppy.
Timmy was the runt of the
litter.
A Labrador-Springer-Basset
mix, who clearly got the best of
all three breeds, Timmy seemed
to be able to sense Neil was
about to nod off and wouldnt
let him.
Neil could hardly believe it at
first but when he researched
Service Dogs he discovered that
Timmys innate ability, while
extremely rare, was nonetheless
real.
Neils doctor got Timmy
certified as a Service Dog and
Neil soon found that with Tim-
my at his side, he could drive a
car again and enroll in college
again.
Timmy became a fixture at
the college and when Neil grad-
uated, Timmy trotted across the
stage too, sporting his own little
cap and gown.
That landed him on CNN.
It turned out Timmy had
other unique abilities. He could
calm an anxious adult, bring
comfort to a grieving party, or
get a positive response from an
autistic child.
Neil delved into this and
eventually had Timmy certified
as a Therapy Dog. A Service
Dog and a Therapy Dog are two
completely different creatures,
but Timmy was both.
Following the events of Sept.
11, 2001, Timmy was the only
dog certified by the NYPD to
work at Ground Zero, bringing
comfort to stressed volunteers.
Timmy became a regular at
Geisingers Janet Weiss Chil-
drens Hospital in Danville,
where he stopped by some 200
times a year and visited up-
wards of 7,000 children and
their families, Neil estimates.
In all, Neil says, Timmy
probably encountered close to
20,000 people during his life-
time.
Neil and Timmy became
advocates for Service Dogs and
Therapy Dogs traveling to Cali-
fornia, Denver, Disney World
and Washington, D.C. Timmys
been to the Supreme Court and
even made it to The White
House.
Timmy was so well known
that when he lost his hearing a
couple of years ago, he was
invited to the University of
Cincinnati where he received a
hearing aid as a part of a re-
search program. He was only
the fifth dog ever to get a hear-
ing aid and only the second to
get Blue Tooth technology.
CNN did a piece on this too.
Timmy prompted Neil Young
and his wife Vonnie to create a
therapy animal business. They
call it Youngs Funny Farm and
offer the service of donkeys,
ducks and a Shetland pony
among other animals. To learn
more, and see some photos of
Timmy, go to youngsfunnyfar-
m.org.
But whatever you do, Neil
cautions, dont grieve for Tim-
my. Timmy spent his life
spreading joy, he said. He
wouldnt want anyone to be sad
over his passing.
And what about Neil now
that Timmy is gone? Well,
Neils now in the paws of a
little female named Cinderella.
Timmy knew her, Neil says.
He gave his approval.

n Super Sunday Tracey
Jumper wont be rooting
for either team. Shell be
the only fan watching at a party
at her house who will be rooting
for the venue.
She worked as an HVACengi-
neer on the construction of Lu-
cas Oil Stadium, the site of Super
Bowl 46. The stadiumopened in
2008. She was Tracey Nawrocki
then and lived in Indianapolis.
Since thenshes addeda Jump-
er to her name by marrying Da-
vid Jumper, moved back to the
Valley, co-founded an engineer-
ing commissioning company
and was selected as a one of New
Faces of Engineering, Class of
2011 by the National Engineers
Week Foundation.
But Tracey still has a soft spot
for Lucas Oil Stadium. Oh
yeah, she said with a laugh. I
wish I was able to go and see it in
action.
When Tracey, class of 2000,
was at Pittston Area she was in
the band and became friends
with David Jumper who was in
the Dallas Area band. Years later
they reconnected when she went
to an engineering conference in
New Orleans where he was
working as a jazz musician.
They tried a long-distance re-
lationship after she went back to
Indianapolis, but eventually they
moved back here and married.
They live in Kingston. Tracey
said a lot of people said they
were crazy for coming back and
she admits it was risky. We had
a hard time coming back, find-
ing jobs and everything.
David landed at Marywood
University as a music professor.
Tracey took a sales job, but then
was approached by Pete Dragon
to start a commissioning firm in
Wilkes-Barre they call Keystone
Commissioning Group, Ltd. In
the industry, commissioning in-
volves quality control in energy
savings and building efficiency.
Starting the new business was
scary. Were heavy into now,
Tracey said, a lot of clients, but
its still scary, even where we
know everybody.
In December Tracey was one
of only 14 engineers under 30
from across the country selected
as one of The New Faces of En-
gineering. The 14 were featured
in a USA Today story and Tra-
ceys story was featured in inter-
national trade publications.
Tracey as an architectural
engineer and commissioning
specialist was selected one of
the New Faces for keeping hos-
pital patients warm or cool and
comfortable while reducing en-
ergy use and costs in healthcare
buildings across the country.
From a National Engineers
Week Foundation press release:
Tracey was recognized for
leading the way in providing effi-
ciency and healing in healthcare
buildings by developing a build-
ing systems commissioning
process that effectively saves en-
ergy, improves operations and
maintenance, while increasing
healthfulness and comfort in
buildings where these attributes
are life-critical. Her engineering
process is based on the idea that
our building systems and oper-
ations are as unique and alive as
the people who occupy and
maintain the buildings.
Tracey grew up in Duryea,

After managing the Washing-
ton Senators to the franchises
only World Championship,
while playing second base full-
time, Bucky Harris was hailed
like royalty, the king of baseball,
when he came home to Pittston
on October 29, 1924.
He was paraded through Pitt-
ston by a police escort as thou-
sands of his fans linedthe streets.
At Gilmartin Park hundreds of
school kids, who were let out of
school for the occasion, broke a
police line for a chance to touch
him.
But the most kingly treatment
he got was when he was present-
ed with a Patrick W. Costello
engrossing at a banquet that
evening.
Costello, a Scranton artist,
created the elaborate 18 x 25 pen
and ink drawing as a commemo-
rative document. Inscribed with
calligraphic gold-leafed letter-
ing and framed in gold, it likely
cost its sponsors $1,500, the
equivalent of $20,000 today.
It was worth every penny as
Costello was hailed as a master
among the hundreds of profes-
sional artists working nation-
wide creating engrossings for
captains of industry, labor lead-
ers, educators, politicians, war
heroes, clergymen and sports
figures to commemorate birth-
days, retirements, promotions,
championships and other special
achievements during the heyday
of American Engrossing from
1875 to 1925.
Though Costello was well-
known in Scranton in his day as a
city clerk, Lackawanna County
Auditor, city controller, founder
of the precursor to the Friendly
Sons of St. Patrick and a popular
restaurant owner, his engross-
ings were according to his
great-grandson Thomas W.
Tom Costello, a Hill Section
native living in New Jersey so
beautifully appointed and metic-
ulously detailed they were
doomed to obscurity.
Ironically, Tom said in an
email, the art is unknown to
most people in Scranton. Once
presented to the individuals they
honored, Costellos resolutions
became cherished family heir-
looms rather than objects for
public display.
Thats something Tom is try-
ing to remedy. He presented an
exhibition of his great-grandfa-
thers work in the Hope Horn
Gallery at the University of
ScrantoninOctober andNovem-
ber of 2009. Now he is working
on a book about P.W. ,as he was
known, and his art.
A breaker boy turned artist, P.
W. was the only son of poor Irish
immigrants. He was born in Mi-
nooka in 1866. His mother died
when he was two and for a time
his father looking for mine
work with a depression on here
took P.W. to Birmingham, En-
gland, where, Tom believes,
young Patrick first dabbled in
pen and ink. At the time, Bir-
mingham was the world manu-
facturingcenter of steel pennibs,
sharpened metal points which
were dipped in ink and used for
writing and drawing.
In 1877, when P. W. was elev-
en, he and his father returned to
Scranton where P.W. got a job as
a breaker boy at the Bellevue
Colliery in West Scranton. He
used what little free time he had
practicing penmanship and
drawing sometimes on slabs of
slate.
It was with some irony then,
and likely satisfaction, that years
later he used those self-taught
skills to engross an Address
Read by Master Bennie Phillips,
a Slatepicker at the Pine Brook
Colliery, Representing the
Breaker Boys of the Anthracite
Region, to Mr. John Mitchell,
President of the United Mine
Workers of America.
While he worked as a clerk, in
his spare time P. W. continued to
practice lettering and engrossing
and portrait drawing, working
from a studios in the Odd Fel-
lows Hall and later the Traders
Bank on Wyoming Avenue in
downtown Scranton. His first
engrossing job brought him$25.
He eventually gave up politics to
become a full-time artist.
In addition to the Harris en-
grossing P. W. created resolu-
tions of appreciation for Minoo-
kas Steve ONeill, and Pittstons
Hugh Jennings, both of whom,
like Harris, are in the Baseball
Hall of Fame.
Tom Costello searched for the
Harris and Jennings engrossings
through family members, but in
vain. The ONeill engrossing is
still in the possession of his de-
scendants.
An interview with ONeill in
Sporting News in January of
1949 illustrates the quality of
Costellos work and the rever-
ence the recipients had for the
engrossings.
From the story:

This is a copy of the Harris engrossing. The original which was in color with gold leaf lettering has
not been found.

For 20 years District Magistrate Fred
Pierantoni held court in Pittston, having
been elected to six-year terms in District
11-1-04 in 1991, 1997, 2003, and 2009.
The court serves Avoca, Dupont, Duryea,
Hughestown and Pittston City.
But then last November, just two years
into his last term, he was elected to a Lu-
zerne County Judgeship.
After Pierantoni was sworn into county
court earlier this month, retired Senior
Judge Andrew Barilla was appointed to
hear cases in the district on an interimba-
sis.
While Pierantonis termwould not have
been up until 2015, under Pennsylvania
election rules when a district judge seat is
vacant it is placed on the next municipal
election ballot. That means candidates
can file to run for Magistrate in District
11-1-04inthe Municipal PrimaryElection
in May of 2013. Assuming the same can-
didate doesnt win both party nomina-
tions the Republican and Democratic pri-
mary winners will square of for the seat in
November of 2013.
But there is another scenario. The seat
could be phased out.
By law every 10 years magisterial
boundaries are examined for possible re-
alignment. The Administrative Office of
Pennsylvania Courts wants to eliminate
50 magisterial districts in Pennsylvania.
There are 17 magisterial district courts in
Luzerne County and one of themcould be
absorbed by surrounding districts.
President Judge Thomas Burke must
make a recommendation by the spring.
In November, Judge Burke told the
Times Leader, The process will involve
receiving input from magisterial district
judges, as well as members of the court of
common pleas. Ultimately, any proposal
will be made for public comment.
A source in a position to know said the
Pittston area district court is busy. Its a
busy court, the numbers are healthy, the
source said.
Case filing statistics for 2011 show the
Pittston area district to be in the middle of
the pack among the 17 Luzerne County
districts, but case load is not the only con-
sideration. The fact that the seat is vacant
adds a wrinkle as districts are usually
phased out by attrition.
Election in 2013 likely scenario to fill magistrates seat
Fred Pierantonis elevation to county judge creates vacant seat in Pittston

Associate Editor
graduated from Pittston Area in
2000 and Penn State in 2005.
In high School she was into
science extracurriculars. The
teachers constantly nudged her
to expand her knowledge, and
eventually she co-founded the
River Club.
We studied the life science of
the Susquehanna, the Lower
Lackawanna and mine drain-
age, she said. We looked at the
Butler Mine tunnel.
The group worked with
Wilkes University and also some
local archeology groups. As her
high school career was nearing
an end her momtook her all over
the area looking for potential
colleges.
She was a single mom and I
was the first to go to college so
we basically didnt know what
we were doing when we were
looked at schools, she said.
When her mother took her to
Penn State, Tracey was intrigued
by the Bachelor of Architectural
Engineering (BEH) program
that was based on building sys-
tems where one could specialize
in lighting, electrical, etc. They
had labs for every one of them.
She was one of only100 appli-
cants selected for the program.
Its a demanding, five-year, con-
trolled major program.
Tracey specialized in energy
systems for buildings.
Tracey said she got her work
ethic from her mother. She was
a single mom. She had four jobs
so I kind of had this small busi-
ness and work ethic background
growing up.
Her first internship was with
the Army Corps and the county
engineering departments work-
ing on the levee raising.
But the first chance she got she
left the Valley. My mom prob-
ably didnt want me to leave, but
I had that get up and go. I wanted
to get out of here.
She worked in Indianapolis,
then Chicago and won numerous
awards for her work.
But the excitement of being
away wore off.
I got homesick working out
there. I was working on these
crazy projects for hospitals and
you could see the people that it
affects and it gives you a good
feeling, but I thought I could be
doing this for people at home,
people I know.
This particular feeling hit
home when Tracey learned her
grandmother was sick and
spending time in hospitals hav-
ing kidney operations.
Her grandmothers health
pushed her over the edge of com-
ing back.
Tracey said she and David
could have lived almost any-
where. We joke that weve cov-
ered the globe through work and
travel. In Chicago I had an office
on the river with a beautiful view
of Chicago. Weve been to Ger-
many, France, but the people
here are the best. We dont have
some of the best things, but
weve got the best people.
Tracey said her selection as
one of the New Faces of Engi-
neering is a tribute to her mother
who is her inspiration and role
model.
Ive been to conferences with
top people in engineering. Ive
met presidents of professional
societies. Ive met people who
worked with the President at the
White House, but thanks to my
mom I learned to respect people
like that and still be human and
still have a good sense of hu-
mor.
Tracey said she learned these
things from her mother and the
lawyers, judges and prominent
business people who used to
come into her moms hair salon.
It helpedme a lot toknowthat
these people are down to earth.
So this is mostly for my mother,
Terry Capitano, and the other
folks in the Valley who influen-
ced my success in engineering
and business. I wanted to bring
my piece of national recognition
home for those it matters to the
most, and for those who matter
to me the most.

The interviewer started to
leave, but ONeill detained him.
Wait, he said, there are a few
things I want you to see. Heres
the parchment the people of Mi-
nooka gave me when I went
home after the 1920 Series. Its
all handpainted, gold leaf and
all. Ill bet you couldnt have
work like that done today.
ONeills youngest daughter,
Olive Webb Corbett, told Tom
that the engrossing was promi-
nently displayed in their house in
Cleveland for decades.
TomsaidONeills description
of the engrossing as a parch-
ment indicates it was done on
vellum (calfskin). Usually P.W.
engrossed documents on white
Bristol board and reserved vel-
lumfor special projects like U.S.
presidents and foreign heads of
state. His choice of vellumsays a
lot about the high level of esteem
he and the community had for
Steve ONeill.
In1890, P.W. Costello married
Mary Agnes Mahon, a Bellevue
resident, and the daughter of Pa-
trick J. Mahon, a former Scran-
ton City Treasurer and Alder-
man. They raised eight children.
In 1908 the family moved from
Bellevue to a new home near
Nay Aug Park in Scranton.
Inthe late1890s, P. W. co-own-
ed Costello and Flemings Arbor
Caf, a popular downtown res-
taurant located in the heart of
Scrantons theatre district where
his portraits of local and national
figures lined the walls.
Patrick W. Costello died on
May 20, 1935. He was 69. He
was eulogized in an editorial in
the Scrantonian Tribune:
Mr. Costello was possessed
of the soul of the poet andthe art-
ist. He was a great artist, a lover
of beautiful things but better
still, he was a lover of his fellow
man, and hundreds of them, who
treasure his work and who ad-
mire his character, will mourn
his departure.
For more information go to
www.zanerian.com and look in
The Master Penman Archives
for more biographical informa-
tion and samples of Costellos
The O'Neill and Harris portraits
were both drawn and brushed
by hand. O'Neill's is so well
executed it looks like a mono-
chrome photograph.

sion of Catholic Social Services,
reminds residents that Super
Bowl Sundayis the second-high-
est day of the year for DUI-relat-
ed accidents and fatalities, sec-
ond only to New Years Eve.
Between 2007 and 2010, there
were 132 DIU-related crashes in
Luzerne County and two fatali-
ties on Super Bowl Sunday.
Even though the Super Bowl
is a time of celebration, there are
alternatives to drinking and driv-
ing, says Joe Swortz, DUI co-
ordinator of Luzerne County.
Chuck Rauschkolb, DUI
Check-Point Coordinator of Lu-
zerne County, says there will be
added check-points throughout
the county on Super Bowl Sun-
day weekend.

Bad news first:
Next Sunday will be the last
Moose Munch.
Chef Pat Greenfield had been
offering the popular Sunday buf-
fet at the Moose Lodge in West
Pittston on Sundays since the af-
ter the flood.
Now the good news:
Greenfield is discontinuing
the breakfast buffet because she
is going to be too busy rebuild-
ing Gricos, her landmark Exeter
restaurant, which was severely
damaged by fire last August.
Stanley Grico established the
restaurant 1930s in a building on
Wyoming
Avenue
which was
built between
1895 and
1905 as a dry
goods store.
Gricos
quickly
earned a rep-
utation for
high quality.
The restaurant went through
one other owner before Green-
field bought it 25 years ago.
Greenfield kept up, and even en-
hanced, the restaurants sterling
reputation. She was voted Best
Chef by an area publication in
2008. Her tomato sauce won the
Sauce Wars at the Tomato Fes-
tival in 2009.
Due to age, the buildings
which will have to be brought up
to current code
and her own,
Greenfield de-
spaired of com-
ing back. Who
wants to start
over at better
than 50, she
said with a
laugh.
She said she
decidedonlylast
week to go for it.
I was on the fence, but my
customers pushed me over, she
said. Theyre after me to re-
build.
Greenfield said she expects
her insurance to cover the cost of
rebuilding. She met with her
contractor a fewdays ago and es-
timated Gricos will reopen in
five to six months, if not sooner.
While the kitchen and dining
room, which were destroyed,
will be new, Greenfield said Gri-
cos will retain its character. The
bar with its pressed-tin ceiling
and 1930s era back bar and the
iconic curtained booths sur-
vived.
Cant mess with the bar and
booths. They will be pretty much
the same, she said.

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.
Cities cant bar people from simply asking
passers-by for money at night, the Arizona
Court of Appeals has ruled. In a unanimous
decision, the judges struck down a Phoenix
ordinance that makes it illegal to verbally
approach someone after dark for the purpose of
soliciting money.
***
TheNewJerseySupremeCourthasunanimously
declared that the nonproft New Jersey League
of Municipalities is subject to the same open-
record disclosure standards as the municipal
governments it represents. The decision means
that the League is no longer able to use its
nonproft status to deny access to records that
it and other nonprofts have typically thought
of as protected from public disclosure. The
court determined that the public nature of
the League was due to its membership of more
than 13,000 elected and appointed offcials, its
employees membership in the states Public
Employees Retirement System, and the 16
percent of its budget attributable to taxpayer
dollars in the form of dues.
***
Connecticuts new law punishes phony autism
therapists who will be punished by up to a $500
fne, imprisonment time of up to fve years, or
both.
***
A federal court has ruled that recording public
offcials, including police offcers, is protected by
the First Amendment. This case emerged from
separate incidents in which private citizens
used personal video cameras or cell phones to
capture alleged police brutality.

As the Knox Mine Disaster fades fur-
ther into the past with each passing year,
the memorial committee does a wonder-
ful job keeping the memory of the dark
event alive.
Today at St. John the Evangelist Church
at 10 a.m. a Knox Memorial Mass will be
celebrated marking the 53rd anniversary
of the disaster.
After mass the committee will lay a
wreath at the Knox Memorial Monument
in front of Balogas Funeral Home, for-
merly St. Josephs Church.
In the past a walk to the site would fol-
low the wreath ceremony, but because of
the weather and because the trail has been
closed since the flood that likely wont
happentoday, but thats aneditorial for an-
other day.
Today we call attention to a Knox docu-
mentary film project which is in need of
backers. Dave and Albert Brocca, cousins
fromWest Pittston are living in LAwhere
they started a small film company called
Pitch Films.
They have been working on a Knox
documentary for three years at their own
expense. Now they are looking for back-
ers to complete the feature-length movie
they have planned.
The Broccas want tofilma reenactment
of what happened down in the mine dur-
ing the disaster.
Its easy to become a backer and pledg-
es as little as $1are welcome. Please go to
kickstarter.com and search Knox
Mine Disaster. If you have an Amazon-
.comaccount you will be led to it to make
your pledge. If not, have a credit card
handy and pledge that way.

My name is Scott Koppenhofer. I amthe Regional Director for
the Alliance of Guardian Angels. This is about the article in the
Sunday Dispatch about the flood victims that were burglarized.
I was not surprised at the comments and attitude of the Mayor
and Chief of Police of West Pittston in the article considering the
unprofessional and rude phone call I received from the Chief.
I was going to let things go after the call ended on a good note.
But after reading the article in the Sunday Dispatch I believe
everyone should know the whole story and how the chief was
wrong in the way he handled something that should never have
even been an issue in the first place.
After I was cut off in the beginning of our conversation, I shut
up and listened to a tongue-lashing for 2-3 minutes as the chief
yelled and made absurd comments that I wrote down as he said
them.
When I tried to respond he started talking over me again. I
finally had to actually yell back and over him to get a word in.
Here are three points the Chief made in the beginning of the
call that I wrote down that really concerned me.
I wondered if he knewof the Constitution and what is in it. He
told me:
1. I had to get permission from him and the Mayor to enter
West Pittston.
2. Background checks are needed because he does not knowif
any of our members have criminal backgrounds and could be
casing the neighborhood.
And 3. Our organization is required to call them first before
entering their town.
Later in the conversation he changed his story saying he never
made those first two comments. First of all, the Angels, or any
other citizens, do not need permission to enter any town to walk
public streets. If that is the case then notify the public that West
Pittston is now a dictatorship and make sure they are stopping
every pedestrian and vehicle that enters the town limits to verify
they have permission.
Next, we do not need to have background checks completed
before walking on public sidewalks of West Pittston or any other
town. If so they better stop every person traveling through West
Pittston and do background checks.
Again the Chief changed his statement on the phone and said
solicitors must have background checks completed on them.
Well, since we are not solicitors why would he even make that
comment? Oh, because he was back wheeling fromwhat he first
said.
I wrote it downas he saidit soI knowwhat he said. Andthe last
comment was off base also. If he knewhowwe operated then he
never would have called me. If we are doing a large event or
setting up a chapter then, yes, we call and request a meeting with
the Mayor and Chief of Police.
But we made a last minute decision to patrol West Pittston that
night for 3 hours instead of Wilkes-Barre. So we would not call
to notify anyone. Though the Chief said we should call 911 and
request to speak with him and give him notice, we will not call
911 for a non-emergency.
The GuardianAngels have beenaroundfor 33years andI have
been a member for 23 years, so I know how we operate. I was
doing this while I was active duty in the military and stayed with
it when I discharged. We have a chapter in Wilkes-Barre for four
years now with no incidents. So our track record is proven and
none of our members have been casing neighborhoods.
If they knew how we operated they would know we have a
training program, background checks, and strict rules. In fact
after the waythe Chief calledandhandledthe situation, he would
not make it through our training for public relations. If he was a
member he would never be a spokesperson for us based on his
behavior.
I told the Chief that if the media never called the Mayor, that he
and I would never be having this conversation. He told me I was
right. I suspect the Mayor tore into himand that is why he called
me but he should have calmed down and composed himself be-
fore making that call and before answering questions to the
media. I figure since he called while very upset he was not
choosing his words very wisely.
We have patrolled West Pittston a few times over the last four
years and we never called or gave notification and they never
called us then or seemed to have a problem with us.
I know the Chief is passionate about the citizens of West Pitt-
ston and truly cares about their safety and well being, but they
completely mishandled this situation and let emotion control
their actions. The Chief of Police needs to be the voice of reason,
not making calls and trying to intimidate people over the phone,
because that is exactly how the conversation started out.
I am sure Mayor and the Chief are both highly qualified in
their positions but they both lack professionalismin public rela-
tions according to the comments I saw in the paper and the con-
versation I had with the Chief.
Youd think they would welcome extra help, whether a call was
made in advance or not. But rest assured, unless the Mayor and
the Chief of Police calls us to assist, we will never enter their
town again.
The people that lose are the citizens of West Pittston. I guess
their 2 officers running 24/7 are enough and their pride is more
important than accepting free help from volunteers.
In closing I told the Chief that we support them100%and I am
sick over the fact that the victims became victims again and the
full extent of the law should be used on the perpetrators. I have
friends that are victims of the flood and my heart goes out to
them and the entire town. I hope the police catch the heartless
criminals soon.
Respectfully, Scott Koppenhofer

Congratulations to Pat Greenfield for her decision to reopen
Gricos Restaurant. However, Pats wonderful news brings a sad
note for our Moose Munch. Next Sunday, January 29, will be the
last day of Pats fabulous breakfast buffet at the lodge. Our origi-
nal goal of the buffet was to provide a good and affordable break-
fast to our community affected by the flood. We accomplished
that goal and now it is time to move forward.
On the bright side, a fire and a flood inspired a couple of good
things. It gave us the chance tomeet manywonderful people who
came to the breakfast each and every week. Most of all, it gave
me the opportunity to meet and work with Pat and one of Gricos
chefs Bill Kravits. We cant thank Pat and Bill enough for all that
theyve done to help our organization provide this service to our
community.
Thanks, and well see you at Gricos grand reopening. (See
page 9 for related story.)

Finally, after years of a torture akin to water
boarding, were at a point in our lives here in the
asylum where the kids no longer require me to
wake them via hair pulling, shuffle them, fertilize
themand clothe thembefore they leave for school.
But they still need mama.
Do you know why they still need mama?
Because both boys have inherited several things
fromtheir father: the evil, evil twinkle in their eyes,
their laid-back, laissez-faire attitude about all
things but wrestling and golf, their propensity for
leaving socks, sticky drink glasses and wrappers of
any type, but mostly Tastycake-related, on the floor
in front of the TV, and worst of all their utter
inability to match even the most primary colored
clothing.
I realize many of you will be angered by this sug-
gestion, but mothers, lets unite and make our lives
a hell of a lot easier and ulcer-free lets say we
institute a little dress code! I wouldnt necessarily
promote a uniform, per se, but hows about a nice
pair of crispy khakis and a kicky polo for school
attire?
Now kids, simmer down eventually, youll
welcome the ability to roll-out of bed and roll-into
a pre-set selection of clothing.
Think about those paper dolls we had when we
were younger. You slap on an outfit and off they go,
out their little, cardboard doors and into their card-
boardworlds. I bet theywere thrilledtobe assigned
an outfit and able to play with their other little pa-
per doll friends without worries of what logo is em-
blazoned across their shirt fronts or whose jeans
are positioned well belowtheir paper butt cracks or
whose Ugg supply could easily feed a third world
country for a year.
I promise you, a dress code will not take away
your teenage identity. It will get you ready for a
world of mandates and structure and rules beyond
your control.
Itll be fun!
Listen when my daughter was young, it was at
first amusing when she selected her outfit du jour.
Thats when she was in daycare and no one gave a
crap they just wanted her out of a stinky diaper.
Then she graduated to kindergarten and it was still
cute.
As first grade approached and she was standing
firm on outfits ranging from a bathing suit, a Bar-
ney raincoat and snow boots in August ... it was
starting to get on my nerves. By second grade, I
would be wrestling clothes on and off of her in the
drop-off line at school. A fedora, argyle socks, a
leopard print skirt and a purple tube top were just
not appropriate for school. A night at the Wood-
lands maybe but not second grade.
It got so embarrassing that I would be forced to
write notes to her teachers, stating: My daughter
has atrocious clothing taste. She will never match,
except purely by accident. Please knowthis is not a
reflectionof her parents nor her environment we
are a nice family, I swear. Sadly, she prefers to dress
like a street walker, cloaked in fabric consisting of
nonatural fibers andplastic boots. Just ignore her. I
assure you, by 5th grade it will pass.
Guess what?
It didnt.
Idanticipatedclothingbattles withmydaughter;
in fact, were still riding that train.
What I didnt expect and what still rattles me, are
clothing battles with my boys. And, let me be clear:
there would be no battles if I just let themdress like
pigs. Or a man without a home. Or Columbo. Or,
their father.
He is, infact, zerohelpandis actuallythe genetic
benefactor to this hereditary inability to clothe
oneself sufficientlyandwithpanache. Hes as clue-
less about matching and dressing as if he were still
that fifth grader who wears the same, ratty Notre
Dame football shirt every, single day.
And he did.
Does.
He is more persnickety about odd things. Last
night, for example, he interrupted a perfectly good
episode of Toddler and Tiaras to hold-up the
toothbrush I just bought him, blocking my view of
Mackenzie having a temper tantrum because she
couldnt open her Pixy Stix.
Orange? He snorted; Orange? Ive never used
an orange toothbrush in my life!
Me: Youhave, however, wornone blackandone
brown sock every day of your adult life, and youre
giving me s*&t over a toothbrush color? Really?
He sniffed: I prefer green. I do better with
green. Green is my color.
Green is his color. How can green be his color
when he only sees shades of black and black?
Oh, and also shades of light and dark. Beer.
All Imsaying is that a dress code may not be the
very worst thing to hit the school. It cannot be more
annoying than clear backpacks for kindergartners,
for example.
Look at all the people who wear a uniform and
get respect: Mr. Clean, Chef Boy-R-Dee, the May-
tag Repairman, Pee Wee Herman, the Pope a
uniform is a good thing. It has presence! It erases
the caste systemwithin our little enclave; levels the
playing field.
Plus, it prevents mothers everywhere fromfling-
ing themselves in front of a school bus every morn-
ing.
As in the world of paper dolls, where every one-
dimensional child looks exactly the same, paper
mothers rejoice and pick up their paper mojitos to
celebrate the ease of their paper lives the same-
ness of everyone is refreshing, not ridiculous.
And! No hair pulling!
Until the paper doll wife buys her husband a cra-
zy colored toothbrush and rocks his world. Then,
theres hair pulling.

Dress for stress
Maria Heck matches up words perfectly in this
space every other week.
Sunlight is usually sparse these winter days although we have seen
a bit more this year in northeast Pennsylvania. Staying healthy seems
to be even more difficult than in the other months of the years. The
days are shorter and we tend to spend less time outside.Vitamin D,
one of the bodys natural hormones can be obtained fromfood or the
sun. Vitamin D is unique in that our bodys can synthesis it with the
helpof the sun. However, duringthe days of noor verylittle sunshine,
our bodies are relying on a reserve of Vitamin D. Normally we do
store enough during the summer months to last us through the winter,
but older adults who dont get out much could be at risk.
Vitamin D is a steroid which helps us absorb calcium into our
bones, muscles andtissues, hence keepingour bodies healthy. Milkis
a good source of vitamin D. Vitamin D is the part of the large bone
making team made up of Vitamins A, C and D. The special function
of Vitamin Dis to help make calciumand phosphorus available in the
blood that bathes the bones so that they can be deposited there as the
bones grow (harden or mineralize). Vitamin D deficiency depresses
calcium absorption and results in low blood calcium levels and ab-
normal mineralization of the bone.
Osteomalacia may affect blood and muscles in addition to the
bone. The main effects on blood are decreased calciumand/or phos-
phorus and increased alkaline phosphates. The effect in the muscles
is involuntarytwitching, andmuscle spasms. Other effects of vitamin
D are currently being studied. Some studies suggest adequate vita-
min D may protect against certain cancers and lower risk of autoim-
mune disease like rheumatoid arthritis.
The Recommended Daily Allowance is of Vitamin Dfor adults are
200 IU or international units a day. It increases to 400 IU for adults
ages 51-70. Because of our limited sunlight in northeastern Penn-
sylvania and the distance that we are away fromthe sun during winter
months we need to rely on foods to supplement our bodies reserves.
Foods fortified with Vitamin Dare the major dietary sources of the
vitamin. To make sure your diet includes enough Vitamin Don these
cloudy days, include at least 2 servings of fortified milk in your diet
daily. If you do not like to drink milk, other food sources are: eggs
(yolk), sardines, salmon and mackerel; and cod liver oil.
This is a neat recipe fromthe American Egg Board. It uses peppers
shell as a baking dish and gives an extra boost of vegetables for the
meal! It does take a little time to bake.

Question
Why were there
cheers of joy at an
Exeter Borough
meeting in January of
1964?
1964 48 Years Ago
Twenty-one inches of snow blanketed
the area and local residents and business
owners pitched in to assist each other.
Paul Leonard, Neil Donnelly, Cas
Kazis and Charles Burns, four local
funeral directors, helped Carl Adonizio
move a funeral cortege from the funeral
home to the church by shoveling and
breaking ice along the route.
Fire Chief Frank Skeets McDon-
nell had 20 of his full and part time men
on duty to assure all would get to a fire.
George Bone cleared streets with his
grader, working with only a few hours
sleep.
The Knights of Columbus planned a
mortgage burning celebration for their
55 S. Main Street Pittston home.
The organization, with more than 900
members, purchased the three story
brick structure from Harold E. Howell
in 1956.
The main floor was used as a clu-
broom, second floor a lounge and third
the quarters for the Columbian Squires,
a boys organization sponsored by the
Knights.
The long-awaited Duryea flood pro-
ject was becoming a realization. Forty-
three properties on Watt, Main, Cooper,
River, Stephenson, Lackawanna, Chit-
tenden and Canal streets were con-
demned and ready for demolition. The
new dike was slated to cost approxi-
mately $400,000.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, Did the heavy snow-
storm cause you any inconvenience?
Alyce Allardyce of Pittston answered,
Yes sir, one of our neighbors has a
compact car, I dont think shes been
able to find it yet.
Ruth Ziobro of Dupont stated, No, I
walk instead of drive.
Sam Farinella of Pittston added, Ive
been out of the Army about six months,
I should have kept one of their tanks.
Michael Valenti answered, I would
say if it caused me trouble it would be in
the loss of business.
1974 38 Years Ago
Mike Lokuta, Tom Meade, Tom
Jamieson, Dave Tarullo, Mike Munde-
nar, Bill Mioskie, Andy Healey, Mike
Masulis, Ed Renfer, Joe Arnone, John
Zakdonis, Matty DePrimo, Tom
Joyce, Frank Zelonis, Jim Pucilowski,
Frank Walsh, and Pat McGinty, mem-
bers of the Pittston Area High School
swim team, were making a bid for the
Northeastern Pennsylvania Swim
League championship.
With a record of 10 and 0, Coach Jon
McHale looked forward to their next
match-up with Abington Heights.
Did the team make it to the champion-
ship? Call me at 602-0168.
Herman Castellani, Nicholas Mau-
riello and Mayor Andrew Mauriello
planned a testimonial dinner honoring
Exeter Borough Council chairman Jerry
Clapps at Fox Hill Country Club.
A veteran of World War II, Clapps
dedicated eleven years of service as a
member of council.
Maureen Rincavage and Cindy
Stuccio were two of 150 students from
40 high schools participating in the
Northeastern Pennsylvania District Cho-
rus at Warrior Run High School in Tur-
21-inch snowfall blanketed area in 1964
Peeking
into the past
With Judy Minsavage
PHOTO COURTESY OF MIKE SAVOKINAS
Pittston Council's discussion of monitoring the use of sidewalks on Main Street brought back memories of Sidewalk Sales in Downtown Pittston. When more than 100
retail businesses lined Main Street, the summer event, as this photo from the 1960s illustrates, was a big attraction.

botville. The festival was under
the sponsorship of the Penn-
sylvania Music Educators As-
sociation.
This years Districts will be
held at Bangor High School
starting January 26.
Widespread panic ensued as
an international oil embargo
brought on by long standing
religious and political conflicts
in the Middle East cut off ex-
ports of petroleum to many
Western Nations.
The Sunday Dispatch In-
quiring Photographer asked
Avoca residents, Is the coun-
trys energy crisis real or manu-
factured in order to create high-
er prices?
Joseph Joyce answered, It is
a very real problem, one that
will be around for a long time.
John Joyce added, It is
frighteningly real.
Kevin Dommermuth stated,
The combination of foreign
intrigue curtailing our usual oil
imports and poor use of our
own natural resources had led
to the situation.
National fear of the depend-
ence on foreign oil resulted in
the federal approval of the
Trans-Alaska Pipeline in 1973,
in order to capitalize on domes-
tic oil.
Gas prices rose and stations
shut down because of short-
ages.
1984 28 Years Ago
Airman Joseph G. Gayz of
Pittston completed a course in
Cryptology at Lackland Air
Force Base in Texas and was on
holiday leave visiting his par-
ents Mr. and Mrs. Norman
Gayz. Soon after, he would be
headed to Kelly Air Force Base
in Texas.
Cryptography is the study of
techniques for secure commu-
nication.
With the onslaught of com-
puters in the 1980s, IBM de-
signed the algorithm that be-
came the Federal Data Encryp-
tion Standard and changed the
method of study of this science.
The Wyoming Area School
District renewed its commit-
ment to teaching a varied
amount of foreign languages.
The Foreign Language De-
partment consisted of Edward
Yarmel and Carol Rauh,
French; Harry Giacometti,
Rosella Fedor and Gerald
Taroli, Spanish; Harry Ko-
zloski, German and Russian
and Rocco Yanora, Latin. At
the time, 555 students were
enrolled in foreign language
study.
In a letter to the school, for-
mer student Don Shermanski
stated, I owe a debt of grat-
itude to Wyoming Area School
District for giving me the foun-
dation with respect to the Ger-
man language which enabled
me to progress in my present
career.
Over 250,000 people in the
Wyoming Valley were dealing
with the affects of Giardiasis,
an intestinal illness caused by
unsafe drinking water and resi-
dents called for action.
Wyoming Borough Council
voted to adopt a petition to
force Pennsylvania Gas and
Water to reimburse residents
for having to boil and purchase
water and for loss of wages due
to illness.
Many other areas sought
relief from paying existing
water bills. Some boil adviso-
ries were lifted in the first quar-
ter of 1984, others continued to
September of that year.
1994 18 Years Ago
Meteorologist Barry Finn
reported record low temper-
atures for the third week of
January 1994.
With a reported minus 21
recorded in Avoca, Finn said
outlying areas experienced even
lower temperatures.
Governor Robert Casey pro-
claimed a disaster emergency
and urged residents to cut back
on non-essential power use.
January 1994 was the coldest
month recorded over many
parts of the northeast and
north-central United States.
Mary Ann Wagner of Pitt-
ston was accepted into the Ly-
coming College Tour Choir an
elite 40-member singing group.
Members were chosen by audi-
tion for the 105 member Ly-
coming College Choir. The
Choir, which began in 1947, is
one of the most acclaimed in
the east and performs in venues
around the country and Europe.
Answer
The Exeter Borough Build-
ing, which was in danger of
being razed, was instead sched-
uled to undergo a renovation to
repair the depreciating struc-
ture. Many borough residents
and council members felt the
building constructed in 1894,
was a Wyoming Valley land-
mark and should be preserved.
I played as much golf as I
could in North Dakota, but
summer up there is pretty short.
It usually falls on Tuesday.

TABLE TALK
The best way to enhance the beefy avor in
your pot roast is to sear the meat rst. The
searing will give the meat a delicious brown
crust which is formed when the sugars and
proteins found inside will react to the heat. It
not only looks and smells good, it will make an
enhancement to your gravy, which already will
have a complex avor and rich avor.

Mia Hopkins did something only two
other Lady Patriots have done. And she
did it as she has been doing it since she
burst on the scene two seasons ago with
a flair for the dramatic.
Hopkins reached the 1,000-point mark
with 40.8 seconds remaining in regulation
of Pittston Areas thrilling overtime win
over Wyoming Valley West on Thursday
night inthe Thomas R. KellyGymnasium.
Her basket came at a time when her team
needed her offensive production most.
But what makes Hopkins even more
significant is that she still has almost a
season and a half left of high school bas-
ketball to play. She is only one of three La-
dy Patriots to have scored their 1,000th
point as a junior. The elite group she joins
consists of members Kristen Baumes and

JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT
Mia Hopkins becomes only third
Lady Patriot to reach 1,000-point
plateau in junior season
By Josh Horton
Dispatch Correspondent
See MIA, Page 47
The pressure was on.
Pittston Area had just lost its first
game of the season and its grip on the
Wyoming Valley Conference Division
I race with co-leader Wyoming Val-
ley West coming to town.
The Lady Patriots also had some-
thing else weighing heavily on their
minds. Junior forward Mia Hopkins
had poured in 39 points in that first
loss and was on pace to reach the
1,000-point mark a lot sooner then
maybe they were ready for.
But just as they have all season long,
Pittston Area stood up to adversity and
came out on top.
Hopkins scored 11 of her 19 points
including her 1,000th career point in
the final 12 minutes of the game as
Pittston Area defeated Valley West,
56-49, in overtime to capture the WVC
Division I first-half title on Thursday
night at the Thomas R. Kelly Gymna-
sium in Yatesville.
We were all thinking this is our
game, Hopkins said. As soon as I
scored the 1,000th point it relieved a
lot of pressure from everyone and
thats when we started playing our
game.
Hopkins 1,000th point came with
just 40.8 seconds remaining in regu-
lation and got the Lady Patriots to
within 45-44.
The 511 forward created the open
look underneath the basket after mis-
sing her initial shot. She pulled down
the rebound and going right back up
with the ball Hopkins put it through
the net.
It was a big basket for both Hopkins
and the Lady Patriots.
Once the pressure was off, I think
everyone kind of relaxed and played
their game, Lady Patriots head coach
Cathy Healey said. They were so wor-

Pittston Area Head Wres-
tling Coach James Woodall was
very impressed with Wyoming
Valley West at the Wyoming
Valley Conference tournament
last week. Unfortunately for
the Patriots, the Spartans con-
tinued to impress Woodall as
they beat Pittston Area, 40-30,
in a WVC Division I match last
Saturday night at the Thomas
R. Kelly Gymnasium in Yates-
ville.
I was really surprised with
how a couple of their guys
stepped up at the WVCTourna-
ment, Woodall said. They
had a good lineup tonight and
wrestled very well.
Wyoming Valley West wast-
ed no time getting heated up as
they took an early 18-0 advan-
tage on the scoreboard. Cody
Cordes started the match with a
7-3 decision over Pittston Ar-
eas Frank Ardo in the 152-
pound bout.
We bumped Cody up to
152, Wyoming Valley West
head coach Steve Barber said.
It was really nice to start the
match with a win and Cody re-
ally gave us some momentum.
The momentum Cordes cre-
ated carried into the next three
weights. Brian Dwyer earned
an injury default win over Jus-
tin Wilk giving the Spartans a
9-0 advantage. Wilk has been
battling shoulder injuries all
season and threwin the towel at
the 3:27 mark of the match.
Tom Snolowitz gave the
Spartans a 12-0 lead when he
defeated Sam Falcone in the
170-pound bout. Snolowitzs
victory was far from a blowout
as the two went toe-to-toe for
six minutes.
Rounds one and two provid-
ed no scoring, and with the
match knotted at zero and time
dwindling, Snolowitz earned a
takedown and two backpoints
to take a 4-0 advantage with
just 30 seconds remaining in
the match. Falcone refused to
quit as he earned two points for

When Nina Fischer walked in-
to her first Pittston Area swim-
ming practice four years ago,
she was just like the rest of her
inexperienced freshman team-
mates, willing to make an im-
pression on a first-year coach.
One problem: she barely knew
how to swim.
She might have been the
worst swimmer we ever had,
Patriots coach Amy Hazlet said.
I thought she was going to
drown.
Flash forward to her senior
year, Fischer has molded into
one of the fastest swimmers on a
Pittston Area girls swimming
team that leads the Wyoming
Valley Conference Division 3
with a 5-0 record.
Fischer and her Pittston Area
teammates cemented their one-
meet lead over Meyers with a
151-48 victory over rival Wyom-
ing Area a little more than a
week ago.
Her personal bests in the meet
against the Lady Warriors are a
far cry fromthe times she posted
as a freshman and sophomore.
She couldnt finish a 200
Free, said Hazlet, whose team
captured the division title in
2011. She barely could swim a
50 Free.
Her personal-best time of
2:24.68 in the 200 Free shows a
stark contrast from the 2:57
mark she swam as a sophomore.
She swims the 50 Free in ap-
proximately 29 seconds, com-
pared to her 54.19 best time two
seasons ago. And her time in the
100 free is 36 seconds faster.
Im really happy about my
times, said Fischer. I was not

Basketball is a game of runs.
Unfortunately for Wyoming Ar-
ea, the Warriors were one run
short on Tuesdaynight.
Wyoming Area fell behind
twice, and battled back twice, but
Coughlin would make its biggest
run late in the game to cruise to a
58-44victoryover the Warriors in
a Wyoming Valley Conference
Crossover game at the WA Sec-
ondary Center in Exeter.
The Crusaders dominated the
Warriors for a majorityof the first
quarter as they took an early 12-2
lead in the first five minutes. WA
crept towithin14-8late inthe first
quarter, but Eric Heffers extended
the Coughlin lead to 17-8 as he
connected from down town as
time expired.
TheWarriorsawokebothoffen-
sively and defensively in the sec-
ond quarter. The turning point of
the quarter was when Coughlin
was charged with a technical foul
for havingasixthmanonthefloor
with 3:52 remaining in the first
half.
It became the Lou Vullo Show
as the senior guard went on an
scoring spree in the final three
minutes of the quarter. He nailed
both free throws from the techni-
cal foul, then made a terrific left
handed layup before nailing a
three-point jumper from way be-
yond the arc to bring the Warriors
within 22-18 with 2:22 remaining
in the first half.
EJ Driving Hawk then got into
thescoringact withaterrificacro-
batic layup around two Coughlin
defenders. The Driving Hawk lay
in brought the Warriors to within
22-20 with 1:29 remaining in the
first half.
The Warriors outscored the
Crusaders 12-2 in the second
quarter and went in to the locker
room facing just a two-point def-
icit.
Coughlin came out like a team
on a mission and quickly went on
a 7-0 run in the first three minutes
of the second half. Dan Newhart
stopped the bleeding for the War-
riors with a mid range jumper to
bring the Warriors to within 29-
24.
Thenext minutewas all Cough-
lin as they extended their lead to
34-24 with 3:50 still to play in the
third quarter.
TheWarriorswouldget towith-
in five late in the quarter when
Jordan Zezza connected on a
short-range jumper. The score re-
mained 36-31 as time expired in
the third quarter.
But five points was as close as
the Warriors would get as Cough-
lin outscored the Wyoming Area
22-13 in the final quarter to earn
the victory.
Newhart ledtheWarriors witha
season-high 18 points, nine re-
bounds and three steals. He was
also 4-of-6 from the free throw
line.
Vullo followed with 14 points,
six rebounds and four steals, and
Zezza finished with five points
and three steals. Driving Hawk
scored three points and pulled
down eight boards, while Mike
Carey and Matt Klus had two
points each to round out the scor-
ingfor WyomingArea. Careyalso
played terrific defense racking up
six steals.
WA33, Crestwood 53
Wyoming Area lost its eighth
straight game in a 53-33 loss to
Crestwood on Friday night to end
the first-half of action in a WVC
Crossover at the WA Secondary
Center in Exeter.
The Warriors fell behind early,
trailing 21-6 after the first quarter
of play.
Lou Vullo was the only Wyom-
ing Area player to reach double-
figures, scoring 10 points on the
night.
EJ Driving Hawk added a sea-
son-high eight points for the War-
riors, andDanNewhart chippedin
with six.
PA61, Valley West 73
With a chance to force a possi-
ble three-waytie for the WVCDi-
visionI first-half title, PittstonAr-
ea dialed long distance in the first
16 minutes of its game with
Wyoming Valley West on Friday
night in Plymouth.
But after shooting 50 percent
from beyond the arc in the first
half, the Patriots were shut down

a reverse and a third point for
an escape with eight seconds
remaining. The late surge from
Falcone would not be enough
as Snolowitz held on for the 4-3
victory.
Trey Cowman capped off the
Spartans early dominance by
pinning Pat Nallin at 182-
pound to earn the 18-0 lead in
the match.
Eric Danaher put the Patriots
on the board in the 195-pound
bout. Danaher fell to an early
4-0 deficit after Allan Sukow-
ski earned a takedown and two
backpoints. While trailing 9-7,
Danaher earned a reversal and
gained great position on Su-
kowski earning the pin at the
1:58 mark of the match and cut-
ting the Wyoming Valley West
lead to 18-6.
John Minich brought the Pa-
triots to within 18-9 by earning
an 11-9 decision over Brandon
Baird in the 220-pound bout.
Minich jumped to an early
9-3 lead, but Baird cut the lead
to 9-7 and eventually 10-9.
Baird was allowing the escape
point in hopes of earning the
two point takedowns. Baird al-
lowed another escape point to
give Minich an 11-9 lead late in
the third period before he hung
on to earn the decision.
Chris Wesolowski wasted no
time adding to the Patriots total
when he pinned Theodore
Evans just 44 seconds into the
heavyweight match.
The Patriots then had to for-
feit at 106-pounds and trailed
24-15. But Jamie Scarantino
got Pittston Area its six points
back when he pinned Alex Tir-
co with 4.8 seconds remaining
in the first period.
The Patriots came all the way
back to tie it at 24-24 after Tyler
Lutecki earned the 7-5 decision
in the 120-pound match over
Travis Roper.
The score wouldnt stay tied
for long as Kyle Krasavage
pinned Dan Gambini just 55
seconds into the 126-pound
bout to give the Spartans a 30-
24 lead with just three matches
remaining.
Nathan Cheek pinned Don-
nie Parham at the 3:18 mark of
the 132- bout to give the Spar-
tans a 36-24 lead. The deficit
meant the Patriots would have
to earn pins in the final two
weight classes in order to win.
But that was not in the cards
for PAas Derrick Simms sealed
the deal for the Spartans with a
17-5 major decision over Kevin
Wesolowski at 138 pounds.
Despite the Patriots not hav-
ing a chance to win going into
the final match, Angelo Lussi
still wrestled hard. He earned

Well I guess the joke is on me.
Since I returned to the Dispatch
almost six years ago now, I have
maintained, in a joking matter of
course, that not only is the Old
Forge-Riverside rivalry heads and
shoulders above the Pittston Area-
Wyoming Area rivalry, but also
that the Patriots and Warriors
arentreallyfiercearch-rivalsatall.
I meanwhat kindof rivalshavea
Goodwill Luncheon with each
other just two days before the big-
gest gameoftheseasonat acoun-
try club no less?
The Blue Devils and Vikings
would NEVERdo that!
Ihavearguedforeverthat not on-
ly would the two schools battle on
and off the field for supremacy in
anything you could imagine, but
that theywouldratherdoit andlose
to each other, than do it against
someone else and win.
Until now.
There is one rival above all oth-
ers when it comes to the two arch-
rivals and thats cancer.
Asyouall knowcancerhit home
this past summer with the passing
of my Dad. Life has not been the
same, itsemptyif youwill, andev-
erydayisanadjustment. However,
the outpouring of support that our
familyhas receivedhas beenover-
whelming even some seven
months later.
That support becameevenmore
evident this past week as the stu-
dentsandcommunitiesat bothOld
Forge and Riverside high schools
becameinvolvedtogetherinthe
fight against cancer.
This comingweekendis Coach-
esv. Cancer weekendintheLacka-
wannaLeagueandtheBlueDevils
andVikings will meet onSaturday
night at Marywood University in
the nightcapof a varsity-onlydou-
bleheader. Proceeds from that
game alongwithothers through-
out the Lackawanna League and
Wyoming Valley Conference will
gotothelocal chapteroftheAmer-
ican Cancer Society. The local
Coachesv. Cancerchapter, chaired
by Lackawanna Trail Head Coach
Andrew Kettle, is hoping to raise
over $75,000 this year.
But the varsity game wont be
the only event the teams are work-
ing together on to fight this horri-
ble disease that affects so many
people in our region.
Old Forge Head Coach Al Se-
menzacameupwithanideaforthe
freshman and junior varsity teams
to square off in a doubleheader on
Monday night, and through coop-
eration with the Riverside School
District, and Vikings varsity bas-
ketball coach Mike Morgan and
Vikes freshman coach Andrew
Bennie, thegameswill beplayedat
6 and 7 30 p.m. A $2 admission
will be charged with all proceeds
from the gate going to the local
CvCChapter.
The teams and schools didnt
stop there.
As of Friday, the schools had
bought over 500 t-shirts (more be-
ing ordered as I wrote this) with a
singular logo signifying the stu-
dents common goal of fighting
cancer. Proceeds from the Caroli-
na-blue tees will be contributed to
the Richard P. Notari Sr. Scholar-
ship Fund which will annually
fundtwoscholarshipsat OldForge
High School, and present a one-
timescholarshiptoaRiversidestu-
dent in the Class of 2012.
Theshirt reads, Thereal rival is
cancer. Were in this fight TO-
GETHER.
Ifyouhavent gottenashirt yet, a
limited amount will be available
Mondaynight at thegames-oryou
willattheveryleastbeabletoorder
one that night.
Our family has been truly hum-
bled by the showing of support for
this cause by the entire Triboro
community, so it will be easy to
swallow my pride this week and
take some ribbing from the staff
here at the Dispatch on what con-
stitutes a real rivalry.
Because after all, the only way
wearegoingtobeat cancer is todo
it together.
Three-point misery
Despite the fact that the Old
Forge girls basketball team has
nine different players that have hit
three-pointers this season, it was a
measly three points that separated
the Blue Devils from its first-ever
first-half league championship.
Old Forge lost two games in the
first-half of Lackawanna League
Division II play by a total of three
points. In both games the Blue
Devils had leads.
First at ValleyView, theCougars
rallied to beat Old Forge, 38-36.
Then three days later in the Devils
Den, Dunmore rallied to beat the
Blue Devils, 31-30.
Thats howclose Old Forge is to
being a championship team.
Ahappilymadecorrection
For the past few years, I have
thought in my head that the Old
Forge girls basketball team has
never beaten Dunmore.
I have racked by brain to try and
remember a time, and I just
couldnt. For sureI thought if it did
happen, it must have happened at
least 20- to 30 years ago.
But alas, I was wrong!
Thanks to former Blue Devils
standout and 1,000-point scorer
MarissaHastings, I havebeencor-
rected.
Marissa contacted me last week
via Facebook of course and let
me know that Old Forge had in-
deed beaten Dunmore in my life-
time.
The Blue Devils beat the Lady
Bucks on February 5, 2004 by the
score of 36-34. Old Forge held
Dunmore to just five points in the
first half, but neededtorallyfor the
win. Lauren Carey drained a triple
to break a 30-30 tie and push the
Blue Devils to the win. Hastings
led Old Forge with14 points.

ried about getting her the ball,
because she means so much to
our program.
With the individual pressure
off, Hopkins took the pressure
off of her teammates.
Freshman Allie Barber in-
bounded the ball to Hopkins
with less than 12 seconds re-
maining, and after drawing yet
another double-team, Hopkins
found Grace ONeill with a
perfect pass through a tight
window. ONeill made a
strong move to the basket with
her left hand and was fouled.
She missed the first, but con-
nected with the second and
tied the game at 45-45 to send
the defacto championship
game into overtime.
Hopkins then took over.
The WVC leading scorer hit
two pull-up jumpers to give the
Lady Patriots a 51-47 lead with
2:25 remaining in the overtime
period. But, it was freshman
Liz Waleski who would seal
the deal for PA, and it had
nothing to do with her offen-
sive play. With 56.9 remaining
in the game, Waleski drew a
charge on the low block.
The play allowed Pittston
Area (13-1, 5-1) to add to its
lead instead of giving WVW a
chance to cut the deficit.
I honestly knew I was in po-
sition to take the charge, Wa-
leski said. It was nerve
wracking, it was just an all
around awesome game and I
am so happy for Mia.
Her coach was not surprised
when Waleski drew the charge.
Liz has a great knowledge
of the game, because of her
dad (Stan Waleski), Coach
Healey said. She did a couple
of little things in the beginning
that I was yelling at her for, but
that play was key, and she defi-
nitely redeemed herself.
The Lady Patriots gained
even more momentum when
the Spartans head coach was
called for a technical foul, for
arguing on the play. ONeill hit
both free throws, giving the
Patriots a 53-47 lead with un-
der a minute remaining in the
game.
Waleski was then fouled on
her way to the basket and hit
one of two free throws to give
the Patriots a 54-47 lead.
Both the Spartans and the
Lady Patriots each had a bas-
ket in the final 11 seconds of
the game, but it was PA who
would hang on for the 56-49
victory and claim the first half
championship.
The game was nip-and-tuck
the whole way with the teams
tied at 23-23 at halftime. At
that point, Healey tried to tell
her players to relax and just
play the game.
We definitely talked about
being calm and playing the
game, Healey said. When we
play the game and play right,
good things will happen.
Despite being double- and
triple-teamed all night, Hop-
kins paced the Lady Patriots
with her 19 points despite just
having five at halftime.
Barber added 15 points and
ONeill chipped in with 10 of
her own for PA. Waleski added
in with seven, while Jackie Ra-
bender rounded out the Patri-
ots scoring with five points.
PA 68, Holy Redeemer 70
Three days after Friday the
13th, the Pittston Area basket-
ball team suffered some bad
luck of its own in its 13th game
of the season.
Despite a Wonder Woman-
like effort from star forward
Mia Hopkins, the Lady Patri-
ots dropped a heartbreaking
70-68 overtime decision to
Holy Redeemer in a Wyoming
Valley Conference Crossover
game on Monday night at the
Thomas R. Kelly Gymnasium
in Yatesville.
It was the Lady Patriots first
loss of the season, and it came
to a team it had beaten by 23
just a few weeks earlier. But
the WVCs leading scorer did
all she could to prevent the
loss.
Hopkins poured in a career-
high 39 points 19 in the final
12 minutes to lead Pittston
Area (12-1 overall, 4-1 WVC)
in coming back from a four-
point deficit entering the final
stanza.
It was not enough however
as the Lady Royals outscored
the Lady Patriots 31-23 over
the middle quarters, and by a
last second bucket in the over-

Cindy Czerniakowski .
Baumes is the more recent of
the two as she scored her 1,000th
point during the 2007 season.
Czerniakowski achieved the
milestone in 1988.
I thinkits a bigmonkeyoff of
everyones back, Hopkins said.
Nowthat this is over, its time to
do our thing and get that banner.
Hopkins is the first LadyPatri-
ot to join the 1,000-point club
since Lauren Smicherko did it in
2009.
Its a great feeling to join the
names on the wall, Hopkins
said. I just want to see howfar it
takes me.
Hopkins milestone did not
come easy as she went in to
Thursday nights game knowing
she needed14 points to join such
elite company after pouring in a
career-high 39 in the Lady Patri-
ots first loss of the season on
Monday. But perhaps more im-
portant than the 14 points, was
the Patriots were playing Wyom-
ing Valley West with the first
half championship on the line.
In an ideal world, Hopkins
would have gotten the 1,000th
point much earlier than with 40
seconds remaining in the game.
However, Thursday nights game
was far from ideal as the Spar-
tans and Patriots went toe to toe
for 36 minutes.
If Thursday nights game were
a movie, it would fall under the
genre of thriller or drama, be-
cause there were plenty of both.
When Hopkins finally reac-
hed the milestone, the crowd at
Thomas R. Kelly Gymnasium
went absolutely nuts. Members
of the JV squad brought out a
banner, which had her name on it
as the newest member of the
1,000-point club. The game was
stopped for roughly five minutes
as Hopkins received much-de-
served applause and took pic-
tures with family and coaches.
The always emotional Hop-
kins then turned to the Pittston
Area student section and
screamed, igniting a flame in the
entire gymnasium which aided
the Lady Patriots in their victory.
Pittston Area head coach
Cathy Healey feels as though
Hopkins is among some of the
best players she has ever
coached.
I have coached some really
goodplayers andshe is upthere,
Healey said. I mean, she scored
1,000 points as a junior.
Hopkins had just six points in
the first half, but has been noto-
rious for being a second half
player for much of this season.
I was definitely worried I
wasnt going to get it, Hopkins
said. It took two missed free
throws to give me a gut check
and to say I have to do this now.
She feels as if she is getting
better every single day, but she
admits there are some things she
has to work on.
I definitely need to improve
my left hand and my shot, Hop-
kins said. I am going to keep
working hard and hopefully I
will keep getting better.
One would be hard-pressed to
drawit upanybetter thanthe way
it happened and Hopkins agrees.
I am so happy with the way it
happened, Hopkins said. I
wouldnt have had it any other
way.
Mia Moments
As a freshman, the 511 for-
ward ripped down 29 rebounds
in just her second game. Then in
just her fifth game, Hopkins
scored a season-high 28 against
GAR. She went on to score 317
points during her first season.
During her sophomore sea-
son, Hopkins scored 394 points
in 21 games to lead the WVC in
scoring. Hopkins scored a then
career-high 34 points in one of
PAs games.
This year, Hopkins has
scored 292 points in 14 games
and has 1,005 career points as of
Thursday night.

the pin just 15 seconds into the match to earn the
final points for Pittston Area.
Pittston and Coughlin had to reschedule their
match last Wednesday because of team illness-
es. Woodall believes the match will be made up
on January 31.
WA 33, Meyers 42
Wyoming Area assistant wrestling coach Joe
Rovelli returned to his home gym and watched
one of his own school records fall as the War-
riors fell to Meyers, 42-33, in a key Wyoming
Valley Conference Division II showdown on
Wednesday night in Wilkes-Barre.
Mohawks 120-pounder Vito Pasone picked
up his 130th career win with a pin to tie Rovelli
for the most in school history. The victory a
pin of WAs Carm Mauriello in 3:43 after run-
ning out to a 13-4 lead propelled Meyers to the
overall win.
I know Vito personally and hes a great kid
and hard worker so he deserves it, Rovelli said.
I know he personally more than anything wants
that state gold. And seeing him wrestle, I think
he has a chance at it.
With Rovelli, assistant to first-year head
coach Steve Mytych, being on hand, it made the
win more unforgettable for Pasone who grew
up watching the former Mohawk star. When the
teams shook hands after the match, Rovelli told
Pasone good luck, you deserve it.
I thought it was amazing. It worked out well.
I couldnt have asked for a better ending for it,
Pasone said. Hes not one of the people that
feel that its his title and thats why I always
idolized Joe. He was a hero to me and Im glad
he was here to see it.
I would always watch him and think Wow,
someday I hope I could be like that.
Pasones senior teammates Sean Bergold (106
pounds), Jeff Nealon (145) and Dijon Townes
(182) all notched pins to help the Mohawks,
while senior Darren Stucker (152) sealed the
win over the Warriors with a decision over Nick
Mazzone in the final bout of the night.
After Wyoming Areas Nick OBrien opened
the dual with a major decision over Eric Carty at
160 pounds, Meyers (3-2 Division II) opened a
12-4 lead with back-to-back falls from Johntae
Nelson (170) and Townes.
The Warriors (2-1 D-II) countered with a fall
by Shaun Whiting at 195 and took a 22-12 lead
after a pair of Mohawk forfeits at 220 and 285.
But Meyers answered with four consecutive
wins, including three pins two under a minute
to open a 33-22 cushion with just four bouts
remaining.
The two quick pins were by Bergold and Jus-
tin Elick (113). After Pasones win, Kashif Al-
ston defeated Steve Barush 8-2 at 126.
The Warriors studs - Andy Schutz and Nick
Heck - came through to even the score at 33-33
with two matches left. Schutz pinned Tyler Sav-
age in 2:56 at 132-pounds and Heck followed
with a technical fall over Sharif Alston at 138.
I think it helps the team out with confidence
because we got smacked around a little bit a
couple times, Pasone added. I think it was
great for (the team).

WA 52, GAR 23
Jude Polit-Moran got Wyoming Area thump-
ing with a 10-5 double-overtime decision to start
the Warriors 52-23 victory over GAR in a WVC

Polit-Moran, the Warriors 182-pounder,
picked up his third WVC victory of the season
with the decision over Vincent Phan in the open-
ing bout of the meet.
Wyoming Area also got wins on the mat from
Eric Filipiak, Carm Mauriello, Andy Schutz and
Nick Mazzone.

expecting such drops as Im ex-
periencing.
EvenFischers times inthe past
year are much improved com-
pared to the beginning of the sea-
son. She shaved 10 seconds off
her fastest time in the 500 Free
swim Friday, posting a 6:48.78
that shows a grand improvement
from the 7:07 she swam in her
first meet of the year.
She is just committed; I never
thought she would be doing the
times she swims, said Hazlet.
She worked hard during the
summers andtheweekends toget
here. Shes very determined.
Fischer said that her struggles
in the pool didnt slow her moti-
vation in the pool.
I just really loved the sport,
she said. Im a determined per-
son. I dont like to quit things
once I start them. I had to ask
some of the more experienced
swimmers to help me.
Only one of the15-member se-
nior class boasted any swimming
background as a freshman. As
the class lone experienced
swimmer, Sam Scialpi took a
leadership role as a freshman and
helped Fischer and teammates
through the process.
Scialpi said she didnt know
what to expect when she joined
the team.
I had taken a year off from
swimming at the time, she said.
So I was coming from a weird
place as well. But I enjoyed help-
ing everyone out to make the
team better.
Fischer, in particular, was a
work in progress. The two of
them committed themselves to
offseason workouts at the FAST
program at Wyoming Valley
West, and weekend workouts
with swimming trainers to im-
prove their stroke technique.
Both currently find themselves
among Division 3s top swim-
mers.
Shes meant to swim, said
Scialpi, of her teammate. Shes
naturally a swimmer.
A librarian within the Pittston
Area School District, Hazlet said
her strong senior class has set the
tone for the rest of the team. She
carries five swimmers who are at
the top of their class academical-
ly, and the hard work shown by
Fischer and Scialpi trickled
down to the younger swimmers.
Coach started off her first
year the same year as we did,
said Scialpi. So it was as much
of a challenge for her as it was for
us.

The Scranton Public Theatre
(SPT),Northeast Pennsylvanias
resident professional theatre and
the Wyoming Area High School
Drama Club will present an ad-
aptation of the Brothers Grimm
famous fairytale Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs next Sat-
urday, January 28 at 2:00 p.m. in
the Secondary Center auditori-
um, Exeter.
Tickets are $5.00 with all pro-
ceeds going to the Wyoming Ar-
ea Drama Club.
Tickets can be purchased at
the door on the day of the play
beginning at 1:30 p.m.
According to Bob Shlesinger
of the SPT, the Public Theatre
has been performing plays at
Wyoming Area for the last 20-
years, but this is the first time the
production company will use
student-actors in the play. They
will act beside professional vet-
eran actress Agnes Cummings
who will play the EvilQueen.
Students Sherry Klaproth will
play Snow White; Billy Weiss,
the Royal Huntsman; Billy Ro-
manowski, the Prince; Paul Min-
nelli, the Queens Guard; Ashley
OValle, Magic Mirror; Jared
Saporito, Big Dude, Head of the
Dwarfs; and Sarah Crakeas the
Narrator.
Shlesinger will direct the play
with assistance from Wyoming
Area teacher and drama coach
Barbara Bullions.
It is a great opportunity for
Agnes Cummings and myself to
work with Barbara Bullions and
the students from Wyoming Ar-
ea, Shlesinger said. The play is
of a participatory nature so audi-
ence members will also get a
chance to get involved with the
production. I guarantee the show
will be a lot of fun with the pro-
ceeds going to aid the theatre
club, so I think it will be a win-
win for everyone involved.
Running time for the show,
which is designed for children
ranging from age 3-10, is ap-
proximately 40 minutes.

Wyoming Area Catholic
School will celebrate Catholic
Schools Week from January 29
to February 4.
Open House for Wyoming Ar-
ea Catholic School will be Sun-
day, Jan.29 from noon to 2 p.m.
The theme is Catholic
Schools: Faith. Academics. Ser-
vice. The theme focuses on
three priorities that Catholic
Schools establish that make
themstandout fromother educa-
tional institutions. Children are
taught faith, not just basics of
Christianity, but how to have a
relationship with God. Academ-
ics, which in Catholic Schools
are held to very high standards,
help each child reach his or her
potential. Service, the giving of
ones time and effort to help oth-
ers, is taught both as an expres-
sion of faith and good citizen-
ship.
