My dear mother lived her life
backwards.
For her first 35 years of mar-
riage she was a stay-at-home
mom raising five children six,
if you count my dad, which she
definitely would and running
a household.
Then she got job.
Her motivation for going to
work in her early 60s was the
motivation that drove most
everything she ever did: her
kind heart.
I was living in Allentown at
the time and she told me over
the phone that this poor priest
(her words) at Blessed Sacra-
ment Church has an item in the
bulletin every Sunday almost
begging (her words again)
someone to come and cook him
a meal a few days a week. I
think Im going to do that, she
said.
And she did.
My mother loved Blessed
Sacrament Church. She remem-
bered it being built in her
hometown of Hughestown and
like other Hughestowners, she
always called it The Chapel
because it was established as a
chapel to St. John the Evange-
list parish in Pittston. The
Chapel was her favorite place to
attend Mass.
My mom needed every bit of
her kind heart to overcome her
fear of cooking for not just
kindly Father Monahan, but for
any priest. She so worried that
the meals she had prepared for
her family for all those years
were not adequate to serve to a
man of such stature.
Her fears, of course, were
unfounded as any of her chil-
dren would have attested.
When Father Monahan, who
was gravely ill when he came to
Blessed Sacrament, passed
away, my mom said her cook-
ing career was over. But her
kind heart again intervened.
She stayed on to feed the inter-
im pastor and stayed again
when a permanent pastor was
named in 1984. That was Father
Charles Rokosz.
The hearts of my moms
children are heavy today and it
will be hard to hold back the
tears tonight when we attend a
Vigil Mass in memory of Fa-
ther Rokosz, who died on
Wednesday at just 67.
Father Rokosz and my mom
enjoyed a special relationship.
He was another son to her.
A gentle, soft spoken man,
Father Rokosz possessed a
keen, dry wit which we all
enjoyed. He is the one who
aptly dubbed our youngest
brother Bobby The Prince
and the title stuck.
Typical of their generation,
my mom and dad married
shortly after Dad had returned
from four years of fighting in
the Pacific in World War II and
promptly produced four chil-
dren in six years. The fifth,
Bobby, came along nearly ten
years later.
It wasnt long before the first
four siblings realized Bobby did
not grow up in the world we
had. When we were of driving
age, each of the four of us
would beg for use of the family
station wagon on weekends.
When Bobby got his drivers
license, he had four older, em-
ployed siblings each of whom
would gladly lend him a car
with a full tank of gas and hand
him some spending money.
We grew up wearing hand-
me-downs. Bobby wore design-
er clothing. A vacation for us
was a day at Rocky Glen
amusement park. Bobby went
to Miami Beach.
When we left home, our
bedrooms were converted into
more living space. When Bob-
by left home, his room was
preserved as a shrine. Mom
lovingly dusted his swimming
trophies every day.
Delivering the homily at my
moms funeral Mass eight years
ago, Father Rokosz got a big
laugh when he referred to The
Prince, seated (appropriately) in
the first pew.
Ask my niece Paulette and
my nephew Jeffrey, my sister
Sheilas children, about Father
Rokosz and they will tell you
how he always said Paulette
was going to grow up to be a
nun and Jeffrey a priest.
In recent years, when Father
Rokosz called me to make
arrangements for a story about
St. Josephs church which was
about to be closed, I jokingly
asked him if it was for sale
because I might want to buy it.
Hold off until Sacred Heart
closes, he said; were going to
offer buy one, get one free.
When St. Marys church and
Saints Peter and Paul church,
both located in Avoca, were
merged into one parish, Father
Rokosz suggested the new
name should be Saint Peter,
Paul and Mary.
But aside from his humor,
Father Rokosz was a genuinely
holy, pious man. He loved his
God and he loved his people.
At Mass one New Years Day
several years ago, Father Ro-
koszs closing remark was this:
In the coming year, may you
all be blessed with enough
prosperity to remain humble.
Imagine if this blessing were
to come to pass. The world
would be just about perfect.

As a young Holy Rosary pu-
pil was readying for summer
vacation, The Rev. Charles Ro-
kosz teased him.
I hope you have a lot of
homework, Father joked.
Quick on his feet, the child
responded, I hope you have a
lot of Masses.
Duryea and the surrounding
commu-
nity lost
one of its
spiritual
leaders
Wednes-
day when
Rokosz,
67, suc-
cumbed
to the
brain can-
cer he be-
lieved he
had de-
feated
just a year
ago.
Parish-
ioner Carl Witkowski said Ro-
kosz was a priests priest and
a great example of the tradi-
tional parish pastor with an ad-
joining school.
Children loved him, parish-
ioners likewise, Witkowski
said.
Rokoszs administrative, fi-
nancial, structural and organi-
zational skills served him well
as leader of the Dureya Cathol-
ic community, but his unwa-
vering spiritual leadership
made him shine, Witkowski
said.
Msgr. John J. Bendik de-
scribed Rokosz as a gentle
beaten the cancer.
But several months later, the
cancer returned.
He was taken to the assisted
living area of Little Flower
Manor inWilkes-Barre several
months ago, but was recently
moved to the hospice unit.
Witkowski visited Rokosz
recently at Little Flower.
His spirit and personality
was able to shine through the
illness, Witkowski said.
Through it
all, you
could still
see his great
smile.
Bendik
also spent
some time
with Rokosz
in his final
days.
When I
visited him,
he made you
feel at
home. He
kept a very
positive atti-
tude, even up to the end, Ben-
dik said. He was on the edge
of eternity and still had a very
deep faith and was open to
Gods will.
Rokosz, a Plymouth native,
attended Saint Marys, Ply-
mouth; Saint Vincents High
School, Plymouth; St. Charles
Seminary, Catonsville, Md.;
and St. Pius X Seminary, Dal-
ton. He was ordained on May
9, 1970. His first pastor assign-
ment was at Blessed Sacra-
ment Parish in Hughestown on
Jan. 13, 1984. He took over at
Holy Rosary on June 20, 1991.
soul, soft spoken and very lov-
ing.
He was admired and re-
spected by his people and his
peers because he was such a
kind and loving man, Bendik
said. He was a model for us
priests because he was such a
good shepherd.
Rokoszs diagnosis manifes-
ted itself at Mass on Dec. 26,
2010, while delivering his ho-
mily.
He began to stutter and gar-
ble his words.
I asked my wife if he was
speaking Latin, said parish-
ioner Mitch Megliola. We re-
alized he was having some sort
of episode and an ambulance
took him to the hospital.
Many thought it was a stroke
or his blood pressure, but the
diagnosis was significantly
worse: a brain tumor.
After months of radical
treatment, surgery to remove
the tumor and recuperation at
the church rectory, Rokosz an-
nounced at Mass that he had

Lisa Abaunza was remem-
bered Thursday as a girl who
found good in everybody.
Abaunza, 15, of Duryea, was
one of three young people killed
last Saturday in a brutal shooting
in Plymouth. More than100 peo-
ple attended the funeral
service Thursday for the
Scranton Prep student.
The Rev. Paul
McDonnell told the
grieving family and
friends that the girls
death was needless and
the shootings have left a
community in shock.
This is a death a violent
death that shouldnt have hap-
pened, he said. Lisa was a gift-
ed student and a creative writer
who expressed her feeling from
her heart.
Her uncle, John Abaunza, and
her best friend, Olivia Santoro,
remembered her in emotional,
tear-filled eulogies.
Dont be sad about the little
girl lying here thats not Lisa,
he said. Lisa hungered to make
friends and be accepted. There
are good and bad people in the
world. Lisa found good in all
she was non-judgmental and she
didnt want to be judged.
Lisas uncle said there will be
many trials and headlines com-
ing.
Her only real fault was her
need to make as many friends as
she could, he said.
Santoro said she and Lisa were
sisters. She said she has me-
mories fromthe time they were 6
years old. Santoro met Lisa in
Virginia, and then her family
moved to Pittston after the
Abaunzas moved to Duryea.
McDonnell said everyone in
the church wishes that Jesus
could walk through the doors of
Holy Rosary Church, touch the
casket and give Lisa back to her
mother, Barbara.
But Lisa now has the gift of
eternal life, he said. We are
here today to offer our prayers
and support to Barbara and John
and to say goodbye to Lisa in an
earthly way.
McDonnell told the family
and friends of Lisa to never lose
hope that Lisas death cannot
be in vain.
We must go out into our
neighborhoods and schools and
communities to bring hope to
work together, he said. Lisas
short life and her death should be
an inspiration to all of us.
McDonnell, who
knew the Abaunza fam-
ily since they moved to
the area fromVirginia in
2010, said Lisas heart
was filled with love and
compassion.
Lisa would be the
first person to tell us not
to be angry at the world
for what happened, he said.
She would tell us to care and
love one another.
The girl traveled many miles
in her short 15 years
From her birthplace of Guate-
mala to Virginia to Duryea, she
made many friends, was a good
academic student and loved to
read and play softball.
McDonnell has spent many
hours with Barbara Abaunza, Li-
sas mother, since Saturday
night. He said Barbara is a
woman of amazing strength.
McDonnell said the family
wants to make one thing clear:
Lisa did not move into the apart-
ment at 401 First St., Plymouth,
where the shootings occurred.
McDonnell said Lisa was still
living with her mother in their
home on Marcy Street in Du-
ryea.
Lisa had a lot of friends,
McDonnell said. She always
tried to see the good in everybo-
dy in all people.
Lisa was beautiful. She was
intelligent and she did well in
school, McDonnell said. She
was a skilled writer; she won a
creative writing award in 8th
grade. McDonnell said Lisa
wrote inspirationally from her
heart. He said she did have
some insecurities and she got in
with the wrong crowd.
McDonnell knew Lisa when
she attended St. Marys Assump-
tion School in Pittston, which is
now closed. Abaunza was a
member of the final graduating
class of St. Marys Assumption
2011 was its 143rd year. She par-
ticipated in the annual May
crowningat the school, as well as
the Living Stations program.
Lisa and two others won third
place in the schools computer
fair in 2010 and she was active in
the literature club. I was at her
8th grade graduation, McDon-
nell said. She went on to Scran-
ton Prep. You have to have good
marks to be accepted there.
Scranton Prep issued a state-
ment earlier in the week.
The Scranton Prep commu-
nity offers its prayers for the re-
pose of the soul of Lisa Abaunza
of the Prep Class of 2015, a
statement from Scranton Prep
read. Our thoughts and prayers
go out in a special way as well to
Lisas family and friends at this
most difficult time.

According to Times Leader
stories:
Plymouth police responded to
a report of shots fired in a home
at 401 First St. around 7:36 p.m.
and two black males were seen
leaving the scene. Officers ar-
rived and met a witness who said
he heard shots fired and through
an opening in a front door win-
dow saw a male lying on the
floor.
Police sawthe male, later iden-
tifiedas Nicolas Maldonado, ina
pool of blood. They went into the
apartment and found a male on
the floor in the bedroom, Abaun-
za in the living room area and a
male later identified as Swart-
wood underneath an air condi-
tioning unit. All had gunshot
wounds. Emergency medical
personnel attended to Swart-
wood, who was still alive.
The apartment smelled of
marijuana and police saw some
and a scale commonly used in
street level drug trafficking in
the home.
Swartwood, Abaunza and Ni-
colas Maldonado were later pro-
nounced dead by acting county
coroner William Lisman.
Shortly after midnight police
interviewedBrandonGinther, no
age or address available, who ad-
mitted to driving Hamilton and
Davis to the Plymouth apart-
ment.
Ginther, who was not charged,
saidHamiltoncalledhimfor ride
between 5 and 6 p.m. Saturday,
July 7. He met Hamilton and Da-
vis in Nanticoke and Hamilton
said he wanted to buy a gun.
They drove around, but the gun
shops they visited were closed.
They later drove back to Nanti-
coke and picked up Swartwood
and one of the Maldonado broth-
ers. Ginther did not want to stick
around and dropped off Hamil-
ton, Davis and the other two pas-
sengers at the First Street apart-
ment.
Ginther got a call fromHamil-
ton short time later telling himto
hurry up and he picked up Ha-
milton and Davis who were
walking on West Shawnee Ave-
nue.
They drove to the Wyoming
Valley Mall, where Hamilton
and Davis went shopping in Ma-
cys mens store. Hamilton came
out wearingnewclothes andthey
next went to the Finish Line
store. A clerk there noticed what
appeared to be blood on one of
Hamiltons shoes and asked
about it. Hamilton said he spilled
juice on it and bought a newpair.
He put the old pair in the box of
the pair he just bought and they
left the store.
They drove back to Nanticoke,
where Hamilton and Davis went
to their apartment. Ginther later
drove them to Geisinger Wyom-
ing Valley Medical Center to vis-
it a patient.
During Hamiltons interview
at the state police barracks in
Wyoming he said he knew
Swartwood as Wuz and Nico-
las Maldonado as Cannon. Ha-
milton previously bought mari-
juana from Swartwood.
Before the shooting Hamilton
paid Swartwood $250 for 1/2
ounce of marijuana and went
with him into the Plymouth
apartment to get it.
During the exchange Davis
pulled out bundles of heroin to
show Swartwood, and Nicolas
Maldonado reached out. At that
point Davis shot Maldonado.
Hamilton said he did not want to
be involved and told the same to
Davis, who then shot the others.
Hamilton and Davis left the
apartment and met up with
Ginther and went to the mall to
shop for clothes and sneakers.
After buying the clothes, Hamil-
ton threw his old jeans and shirt
into a garbage can in the center
of the mall. Police searched the
East Ridge Street residence of
Hamilton and Davis and reco-
vered a .40-caliber Smith and
Wesson pistol, and a pair of size
111/2 white Nike sneakers with
suspected blood on themin a bag
in the kitchen.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled for 10 a.m. July 18 for
Hamilton and Davis.
Autopsies performed Monday
by forensic pathologist Dr. Mary
Pascucci determined Bradley
Swartwood, Nicholas Maldona-
do and Abaunza died from mul-
tiple gunshot wounds, Luzerne
County Acting Coroner William
Lisman said. Their deaths have
been ruled homicides.

Rokosz presided over a tumul-
tuous time in the parish, when
the three Duryea churches were
ultimately merged into one.
The borough of about 4,500
had three churches, each repre-
senting its own parish. But dwin-
dling population, church budget
crunches, priest shortages and a
changing society led the Diocese
of Scranton to decide to close
many churches and consolidate
others. Duryea was not immune
The first was St. Josephs,
which shut its doors in March
2010 and saw its parish merged
with Holy Rosary.
Then came word that Sacred
Heart of Jesus would also be
closed, though the church was
given a reprieve as a worship site
within the new parish.
On Nov. 28, 2010, Holy Ros-
ary parish was also closed. All
three were merged into a new
parish with a newname, Nativity
of Our Lord.
He was a steadfast leader dur-
ing that time, Witkowski said.
Rokosz added some levity to
that very sad time.
I certainly feel a lot better
right now than I did the past few
days, Rokosz told the Times
Leader. I had no parish. Just
sheep wandering around.
The new parish name has sig-
nificance tothose inDuryea, Ro-
kosz told a reporter. The nativity
of Jesus was an event that includ-
ed or represented the namesakes
of the three Duryea parishes
Joseph, Jesus and Mary.
Our parish received more
than we expected or asked for in
our newname, Rokosz hadsaid.
We got the extras, he said,
mentioning others that were part
of the nativity scene, including
the animals, the wise men, and
even a star.
The Most Rev. Joseph C.
Bambera, D.D., J.C.L., Bishopof
Scranton, will preside over Ro-
koszs funeral on Monday.
I have had the privilege of
knowing Father Rokosz for well
over 30 years, first as a friend of
my family, as a brother priest in
service to the Diocese of Scran-
ton and also as a dear friend,
Bambera said. His priestly
presence has touched the lives of
countless numbers of individu-
als in many ways. I will remem-
ber him most for his wonderful
sense of humor, his deepconcern
and compassion for people, his
kind and gentle ways, and his ev-
er faithful devotion to the Lord
whom he served so well.
Katherine Gilmartin, principal
of Holy Rosary School in Du-
ryea, worked alongside Rokosz
since the early 1990s, first as a
teacher then as a principal.
She spoke of his sense of hu-
mor. He sat down at the teach-
ers lunch table one day and told
us wed have to come in on Sat-
urdays for the next few months
for Catechism instruction. He
said it with such a straight face
that we all just sort of looked at
each other and agreed.
He was kidding, obviously, but
sometimes he wouldwalkaway,
you were never sure if he was
joking or not. He was a tremen-
dous supporter of the school. He
loved the children.
Hed often joke with the chil-
dren in the cafeteria, she said.
Like one time he asked a 5-
year-old what they thought of the
next election, she said.
For Gilmartin, three things
that stood out regarding Father
Rokosz: His kindness and con-
cern for others, his thoughtful-
ness and his personal faith.
Megliola said that after Mass
the children would always ask
him how many more days were
left until summer vacation.
He would always have that
number, Megliola said. It was
110 or 58 or whatever. He really
had a connection with the kids.

Rebuild. Damage. Rebuild.
Damage.
Thats what the Federal
Emergency Management
Agency says will keep happen-
ing in West Pittston if defi-
ciencies and violations in the
boroughs flood plain manage-
ment program are not ad-
dressed.
The borough was inspected
on April 11.
In a letter, FEMA Regional
Administrator MaryAnn Tier-
ney spelled out the organiza-
tions concerns and the steps
the borough must take to avoid
being placed on probation for
not being in compliance with
the National Flood Insurance
Program.
The deadline is Oct. 1.
In late September, West Pitt-
ston and many other towns
along the Susquehanna and
Lackawanna rivers were flood-
ed when rains from Tropical
Storm Lee and Hurricane Irene
caused the rivers to overflow.
The FEMA letter listed six
program deficiencies; among
them:
Failure to require and
maintain permits for flood re-
pair work on 30 non-residential
structures and 147 homes in
the Special Flood Hazard Ar-
ea;
Failure to show that flood
victims were complying with
FEMA requirements, such as
elevating their utilities above
the flood plain;
Failure of the borough to
enforce violations.
If put on probation, flood
insurance policyholders would
face a $50 premium surcharge
and borough officials would
have to show major progress in
six months or risk suspension
from the flood insurance pro-
gram, forcing the loss of
grants and loans for structures
in the flood zone.
The borough of West Pitt-
ston faces significant risk from
flooding and is encouraged to
improve its floodplain manage-
ment program to address these
risks, Tierney wrote.
West Pittston has 358 flood
insurance policies in force with
coverage totaling $73,191,100.
We take this action with
great reluctance, Tierney
wrote. It is our hope that
West Pittston is able to imple-
ment timely and effective
changes that will make this
action unnecessary.
At a meeting Tuesday night,
Council President Barry Hosier
said borough officials were to
contact FEMA by July 1.
Not only was that contact
made, but we also started a
corrective action plan at a
meeting held in this office,
Hosier said.
Hosier also appointed a Cor-
rective Action Plan Committee,
including himself and Council-
men Pete Albano and Barry
Stankus, to further progress
between council meetings.
Several residents criticized
borough code officer Dominic
Pepe for signing off on work
that might not meet FEMA
requirements. Others criticized
council for not enforcing per-
mit requirements. Councilman
Brian Thornton said council
tried to alert people to permit
requirements and members of-
ten were met with obscenities
and profanity.
Corrective action recommen-
dations from FEMA include:
The borough must amend
existing code regulations or
adopt ones that meet federal
standards.
The borough must appoint
a qualified, trained professional
to enforce its floodplain ordi-
nance.
The borough must identify
all development that has oc-
curred without a permit and
take appropriate measures to
bring the structures into com-
pliance.
The borough must miti-
gate all violations.
The borough is already in
the process of addressing the
problems.
Council plans to adopt a
new Flood Plain Management
Ordinance at its Aug. 7 meet-
ing and has plans to train a
floodplain administrator.
Also, the borough will add a
floodplain determination and a
market value to its permit ap-
plications, create a list of all
structures in the Special Flood
Hazard Area and retroactively
review and either deny or issue
permits for all un-permitted
development in the hazard ar-
ea.
The borough and FEMA
agreed to a Corrective Action
Progress Report meeting at 5
p.m. on July 30.
The meeting will include
members of the boroughs
flood committee, the borough
engineer, manager, solicitor,
council president and Nicole
Lick from FEMA.

The irony would almost be funny, if the
situation werent so dire, but it seems that
West Pittston residents who were flooded
last September are now being left high
and dry by FEMA, which is threatening to
suspend the borough fromits flood insur-
ance program
Over 800 homes were affected and in
almost every case the residents were left
without heat or power andtoldtheir health
was in danger if they didnt do something
quickly about developing mold.
Now, as the story on page five explains,
FEMA is threatening to put the borough
on probation if the borough doesnt take
steps to be in compliance with the Nation-
al Flood Insurance Program.
Among other things, FEMA said the
borough was in non-compliance for fail-
ure to require and maintain permits for
flood repair work.
Well, back in October, many residents,
feeling a sense of urgency, undertook
work on their homes on their own or with
the help of family and friends.
There was confusion about permits.
Were they waived?
Was just the cost waived?
Was it cold-hearted not to waive permit
requirements?
What did the building codes require?
InOctober the boroughwas toldits con-
struction codes did not meet state require-
ments, a week later it was said they did.
Now they dont meet federal require-
ments.
At a borough meeting last week resi-
dents criticized borough code officer Do-
minic Pepe for signing off on work that
might not meet FEMA requirements.
Others criticized council for not enforc-
ing permit requirements. In turn a coun-
cilman said some residents who were told
permits were required were met with ob-
scenities and profanity.
It seems that nowFEMAwants the bor-
ough to identify all the post-flood con-
struction done without a permit and take
appropriate measures to bring the struc-
tures into compliance.
One example is electrical outlets must
be at least 18 inches off the floor.
Thats also an example of the ridicu-
lousness of some of the bureaucratic red
tape. Whats 18 inches to eight feet of wa-
ter?
In a letter to the borough FEMA Re-
gional Administrator, MaryAnn Tierney
wrote, West Pittston faces significant
risk from flooding and is encouraged to
improve its floodplain management pro-
gram to address these risks.
A little help with that, please.
WP needs help
not red tape
To celebrate the fourth of July, my family got together at my
grandparents home in Beaumont. Most of the family was there,
old and young alike. The children swam in the creek (pro-
nounced crik... being a valley girl and all) and the adults visited
with each other, talked of old times, new times.
The weather was beautiful, sun and blue sky, even a sporadic
thundershower at dusk.
Some folks were unable to attend. Some had work, some had
other plans. And some were just
missing from their usual chairs up
on the old screened in porch. To
name a few, my Aunt Patsy, who
died years ago, of cancer her
bouffant hairdo and smile was a
staple at my grandparents house.
An old family friend, the sort of
friend who was around for so long,
all of the kids growing up called
her anAunt, onlytolearnyears lat-
er that she wasnt really our Aunt
Aunt Wendy.
Aunt Wendy was an angel, an
angel flying too close to the ground, as Willie Nelson would say.
Her kindheartedness and benevolence made a impression on all
who knewher. Her seat on the old screened in porch was empty,
as well.
On more than one occasion, my eyes wandered to that old
porch, hoping to hear their laughter or see their smiles. Instead,
what I found, was my mother. Sitting on the chair watching her
grandchildren play in the yard.
My grandmother, sitting on the porch overlooking all of her
children and their children.
My grandfather, struggling in the summer heat to sit for a
while and reminisce.
Myfather, playingball inthe yard
with his grandchildren.
My sisters, swimming with their
children or relaxing, enjoying the
fun.
Aunts and Uncles and friends,
laughing together while enjoying
the traditional cookout food.
My beautiful nine-year old
daughter, frolicking around on the
same stomping grounds as I
stomped on, countless times while I was a child.
As I sat there, taking it all in, struggling with the bitter sweet-
ness of it all, I was left feeling utter gratefulness for the life I was
blessed with. I will be 33 years of age this July and as many of
you have already experienced, those 33 years have passed before
myveryeyes like a lightningbolt inthe bluest sky. I have magnif-
icent, superb things to look forward to in this life, but due to
balance and time, I also knowof the sorrowand mourning that is
one day to come.
There will be a time, as I scan the faces at the family picnic,
when there will be more absences. Although with death, comes
rebirth, the absences will leave voids in my heart. And it is this
part of life that is the hardest to accept.
As I watched my daughter hanging on to her Pop Pops leg, I
realized for the thousandth time that she will one day be me,
sitting at a family picnic, perhaps thinking similar thoughts, re-
membering those who were once there but have since passed,
rememberingthe oldtimes andperhaps strugglingwiththe same
bitter sweetness as I had done this past fourth of July.
To quote Harry Chapin, All my lifes a circle; but I cant tell
you why; seasons spinning round again; the years keep rollin
Look around and embrace life
By Lisa Caruthers
Lisa Caruthers and daughter
There will be a time, as I
scan the faces at the
family picnic, when there
will be more absences.
Although with death,
comes rebirth, the ab-
sences will leave voids in
my heart.

I have to laugh when I hear Phyllis Mundy and
other Democrats say that the Voter ID law will
prevent 9 percent, or 700,000, registered voters
from voting, when nobody votes anyway.
The turnout for the primary this year was 20
percent.
Football death penalty
In the Boston Globe, Dan Shaughnessy wrote
Penn State football should be shut down. This is
not a hard decision anymore. Nor is it radical. Its
the decent thing to do after a decade and a half of
institutional indecency.
The Freeh report names four men. One is dead.
Two are indicted and one is fired.
The games cannot go on. Playing football this
fall would just be another demonstration that the
vaunted football program is more important than
protecting innocent children.
Thats his opinion and hes big time and Im
not, but I dont get how playing football is a
demonstration of anything other than football.
Or even
Or even is a phrase used by writers to
indicate the comparative severity of a result. For
example a writer might write: Abusing a dog
could result in a fine or even a jail term.
The or even part of these sentence is the
worse result.
Here are two sentences from an Associated
Press story that ran a week or so ago: Mississip-
pi could soon become the only state without an
abortion clinic because of a new law taking effect
this weekend. Critics say the law would force
women to drive hours across the state line to
obtain a constitutionally protected procedure, or
even force some to carry unwanted pregnancies
to term.
This was passed off as a byline news story, but
implying that creating a life by having a baby is
worse than having to drive across state lines to
have an abortion sounds like editorializing to me.
Is having a baby really a worse outcome of the
law than having an abortion?
Roadless rule
The Roadless Rule is another example of how
a liberal policy backfired and harmed the very
thing the policy was supposed to help. In 2001 at
the end of his term, President Clinton, pressured
by groups like the Sierra Club, issued an exec-
utive order called the Roadless Rule which pro-
hibited road building in 60 million acres of Na-
tional Forest lands. The rule was supposed to
save and preserve the land, but instead it helped
destroy a lot of it.
President Bush tried to give power back to the
states to implement the rule. Colorado introduced
its own version which the state said would permit
access to current and future electrical power
lines, facilitate the exploration and development
of coal resources and reduce the risk of wildfire
to communities.
But an appeals court upheld the rule. Turn on
the TV and see what happened.
The lack of roads makes it harder for fire-
fighters to clear out tinder growth and fight wild-
fires.
Independence Day
On the 4th of July Chris Rock tweeted Happy
White peoples Independence Day.
Hes a black comedian and thats funny. If thats
all he was trying to do, thats fine.
But if hes serious, I have a suggestion for him.
Move to Sudan and see how many HBO specials
you get. See how rich you get.
See what happens when you publically mock
the government and country.

Random notes
Its important to keep hydrated when the weather is warm. But
choose your drinks carefully. Some can add lots of calories and pro-
vide little to no nutrients. Below is some information about popular
drinks from Colorado State University Extension.
Energy drinks
Think twice before swigging one of these for a cool kick-start to
your day. These typically are loaded with sugar and have as much as
three times the caffeine in a can of cola. They are also acidic which
can harm the tooth enamel so refrain from slurping these drinks of-
ten.
Sweet tea and other sugary drinks
These can contribute 200 to 300 calories a day. The calories in soda
can range fromzero for a diet soda, to140 for a 12-ounce can, to 550
for a large movie theatre soda. In addition these beverages dont pro-
vide much nutrition.
Fruit drinks
Many people think if its fruit, its got to be good for you. Sure, 100
percent fruit juice has lots of nutrients but it also has calories. And if
its fruitade, fruit punchor fruit drink, its basicallyfruit-flavoredsug-
ar water withlittle nutrients. Readlabels tomake sure your fruit drink
is100 percent juice. Limit the amount of juice you drink each day to 2
small 6 ounce glasses.
Frozen drinks
These are tempting on a hot day but some can make a major dent in
an entire days calorie allowance. Watch out for frozen coffee drinks,
frozen icy treats, and triple thick milkshakes. Spare your waistline
and reserve these tasty drinks for an occasional treat.
Enhanced bottled water
Flavored, bottled water typically comes with extra calories. It is
advised to read the label and do the math if the label suggests the
bottle contains two or more servings. She suggests adding your own
flavoring to water with a fresh squeezed lemon or lime for a calorie-
free drink. Its also worth checking the label for other additives like
caffeine.
Unflavored water
The best beverage choice to keep cool and hydrated is plain, un-
flavored water. Its calorie-free and if it comes from the tap, its a
greener choice than bottled drinks or water. When exercising in hot
temperatures, the American College of Sports Medicine suggests
drinking water cooler than air temperature because exercisers will
likely drink more. That boosts re-hydration. So drink water to quench
your thirst without compromising your daily caloric intake or your
food budget. If plain water isnt appealing, add a slice of cucumber,
lime or lemon. Let it brew for just a few minutes and it becomes a
flavorful drink. Remember we tend to drink our calories. If you are
trying to lose a few pounds, take a look at your drink and ask the
question, does it give me enough nutrients for the calories?
Many of these drinks can be made in the home for fewer calories
and less money. Why not skip the trip to the coffee shop this morning
and take along a low calorie refreshing drink!
Overnight Flavored Water
1 quart water
1/2 cup fresh strawberries or 1/2 cup fresh raspberries or 1/2 fresh
lime cut into wedges. Choose one or all three. Put in container just
before you go to bed (preferably glass). Fill with water. Chill. Enjoy
the next day!

You may be looking for a
message or a meaning to this ar-
ticle, and perhaps you will not
find one at all. But as I was sit-
ting with my daughter today,
watching old reruns of Little
House on the Prairie and The
Cosby Show, it became so sud-
denly very clear to me, the dis-
tressing condition of a large por-
tion of our society. I must have
said it four or five times at that
very family picnic: This is what
its all about; this is where its at.
It is the simple things in life
that are phasing out. Hearty tele-
vision programming, playing
rummy with your 80-year old
grandparents, calling your mom
or your dad to say hello, buying
an ice cream bar for your shut
in neighbor, catching lightning
bugs with your kiddo, helping
someone who needs a hand.
For about seven solid months,
each day as I was on my way to
work, somehow I always found
myself near an old red car with a
bumper sticker that read, The
best things in life arent things.
I guess I contribute that to the
order of life each day I had the
opportunity to read those words.
Some days, the car and I would
pass by each other, slow enough
for me to catch a glimpse of
those words. Some days the red
car wouldbe at a redlight, direct-
ly in front of my car, leaving a
fewquick minutes for me to read
the words slowly.
But eachdayit was there, pass-
ing by with its message, seem-
ingly for me. And each day I was
reminded that although we may
not know why we are here, who
we contribute our being here to,
or the reason of and for it all; all
you really need to do is sit at a
family picnic to understand the
meaning of life. Look around
and embrace it.
I will close with a quote from
Max Ehrmann: With all its
sham, drudgery and broken
dreams, it is still a beautiful
world. Strive to be happy.

Pittston Township has been
without a police chief for more
than two years and supervisors
are seeking to change that.
Township Manager John
Bonita said the position has
been vacant since the last chief,
Steven Rinaldi, retired and be-
came a supervisor. He replaced
the late Tony Attardo on the
board of supervisors.
The department currently has
one full-time
officer and an-
other full-time
officer on dis-
ability, in addi-
tion to nine to
ten part-time
officers.
Sgt. Lena
Angelella has been the officer
in charge, similar to a police
chief.
Bonita said he has received
two resumes and three others al-
so expressed an interest in the
job. He said he has not received
word from Angelella regarding
if she will apply.
Applicants must have a mini-
mum of 10 years experience in
law enforcement, supervision
and administration. They must
be able to establish operational
and management policies and
procedures, organize the de-
partment, direct and coordinate
department operation and es-
tablish and maintain a clear
chain of command and clear
channels of communication.
Responsibilities, job context
and job requirements are avail-
able at the municipal building.
The deadline to apply is July 18
at 10 a.m.
He said the department is still
functional, but its stressed.
Bonita said its in the best in-
terest of the town to have a full-
time department supported by
part-timers, rather than the cur-
rent situation of part-timers
supported by a full-time officer.
The township lost a senior of-
ficer recently with the retire-
ment of Sgt. John Rinadi in
April. He passed away on July 8.
Pittston Township covers 19
square miles and includes the
Pittston Mall, residential areas
along the bypass, truckstops
and retail centers off state Route
315, the large industrial parks
along Oak, Armstrong and Sus-
con roads and the airport.
Township police responded to
more than 1,700 calls last year,
not including the 319 traffic ac-
cidents and numerous lost hun-
ters.

Question #1
In a July 1947 letter
to the editor of the
Sunday Dispatch,
why did one visitor
make the following
unfavorable comment
about his trip to Pittston? Ive traveled
extensively during the war and I never
experienced such a condition hereto-
fore.
1947 65 Years Ago
Kehoe interests purchased the Dime
Bank Building on the corner of Main
and Dock streets for an undisclosed
amount in July 1947.
The building, considered at the time
to be the most valuable piece of property
in Greater Pittston, housed the Kehoe-
Berge Coal Company, Kehoe-
McNamara Insurance and Kehoe Real
Estate.
Erected by the Dime Bank and Trust
Company for a total cost of $500,000,
the building first opened on June 30,
1928. The bank operated at the location
until 1933 when it merged with Miners
Savings Bank on Broad and Main
Streets. The facility was valued for its
modern offices reachable by elevator,
expansive basement and Dock Street
storefronts.
The Sunday Dispatch operated in the
basement of the dime Bank Building,
including offices, composing room, and
printing press, from Feb. 1947 until Feb.
1968.
Members of the Jenkins Township
School Board were concerned they
would have to suspend more than a
dozen teachers. With the issue of needed
renovations and repair on district
schools, the board would have to seek
court permission to raise the district
millage above the five mills permitted
by state law. Additionally, the court
would then require a reduction in teach-
ing staff. At a meeting, representatives
of the teachers, John Callahan and
Florindo Spadl, asked that all teachers
be give a $50 raise.
1957 55 Years Ago
Sunday Dispatch reporters took a poll
of Greater Pittston citizenry regarding
their knowledge of air raid alert and
attack procedures. The reporters found
only five percent of 100 people polled
had knowledge of the signals. Most of
those asked were apathetic stating,
Why would the enemy want to attack
this region?
Knowing the nations growing disin-
terest in the possibility of nuclear attack,
The National Civil Defense Adminis-
tration enacted Operation Alert. Many
cities across the country were to sim-
ulate nuclear destruction and mobilize
civil defense units. The Council of Civil
Defense in Pennsylvania announced a
practice on an evening the week prior to
the national drill by sounding a long
steady siren to alert the public then a
pulsating or take cover alert.
Miss Wyoming Valley of 1957, Ma-
rion Salvo, of Pittston, attended a teen-
age record hop at Holy Rosary Audi-
torium in Duryea. Miss Salvo competed
along with 22 other contestants in the
Miss Pennsylvania Contest in West
Chester. She placed sixth. To see a total
list of all winners from1940 to 2000s,
log onto www.misspa.org.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, What is your favorite
method of relaxation?
Grace Marie Tomashefski, of West
Pittston, answered, I play the piano, it
gives me a great deal of satisfaction.
Helen Lonkowski, of Duryea, added,
Listening to music, preferably the pop-
ular tunes.
Esther Redington, of Browntown,
stated, Having a nice quiet talk with my
husband is relaxing.
Home from the Army, Louis Butera,
of Pittston, said, A lot of guys in the
Army, when they get a chance to relax,
go to sleep and stay that way until
theyve got to get up.
1967 45 Years Ago
Major Eleanor Carey, of Avoca,
returned home after a year serving as the
head nurse of a surgical ward at the 12th
US Air Force Hospital at Cam Rahn
Bay, South Vietnam. A12-year veteran,
Carey expected she would return to
Vietnam on a voluntary basis, stating,
Its a good life for a nurse and an im-
portant one.
After graduating St. Johns High
School and Mercy Hospital School of
Nursing in Wilkes-Barre, she received
her commission from the Air Force in
1955. She volunteered for service in
Vietnam in June 1966.
According to www.vietnamwomen-
sveterans.org, In June 1966, the first 16
female nurses arrived in country for
duty at the USAF base at Cam Ranh
Bay in the new12th USAF Hospital and
the casualty staging unit. Within a short
period, women were filling the full
range of nursing specialties normally
found in a modern military hospital.
With the coinciding dates, Major
Carey could have been one of those first
16 young women.
Captain Martin Cherone, of Sebasto-
pol, returned home after completing 100
missions over Vietnam as an electronic
warfare officer aboard an F-105 fighter-
bomber. He earned 15 medals for brav-
ery in action, 10 air medals and one Air
Force commendation medal. He was
slated to receive two distinguished flying
crosses and two additional air medals.
Cherone volunteered for Vietnam in
1966 and was assigned to the Korat
Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand,
the largest front-line facility of the Unit-
ed States Air Force in Thailand from
1962 through 1975.
Members of the Pittston City Little
League All Star team, Junior Bellanca,
Joseph Wieczorek, Marty Roche,
Jerry Guarnieri, Dennis Widdick,
Robert Zelinski, Chris Latona, Phil
Falvo, John Watson, Billy Dessoye,
John Morreale, Jimmy Klush, Ned
Bilbow and Jamie Bilbow were set to
face Dupont in their first playoff start in
the state playoffs. Team coaches were
Richard Trotta and Ed Strubeck.
1977 35 Years Ago
Lynne Rosato, a student at Pittston
Area, won first place in a drum major
competition while attending the Fred J.
Miller Clinic in Gettysburg. The compe-
tition was based on excellence of vari-
ous maneuvers and giving vocal com-
mands. Fred J. Miller established the
United States Twirling Association, Inc.

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.
A new law in Massachusetts establishes
guidelines for alimony payments and limits
the duration of payments, ending the so-called
lifetime alimony. The limits on how long a
spouse can receive alimony are based on how
long the couple was married.
***
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that workers
cannot sue state governments for monetary
damages when denied the unpaid time off
guaranteed by the Family and Medical Leave
Act. The 1993 law provided those with full-
time jobs at private companies of more than 50
employees and employees of federal, state and
local public governments up to 12 workweeks
of unpaid, job-protected leave annually for
family and medical reasons. But the Supreme
Court, in a 5-4 vote, said that citizens may
only sue state governments for damages when
Congress fnds a pattern of constitutional
violations and tailors a remedy congruent
and proportional to the documented
violations.
***
A new Pennsylvania state law allows small
whiskey distilleries to give samples to visitors

5-2 decision, that 8 of the State Senates 40

Question #2
In 1987, what did Jason Pe-
sarchick and Kathy Harma-
nos, of Exeter, Eve Latorre, of

ski, of Wyoming, Eleanor
Bernardi, John Dean and
Peter Gorgone, of Pittston,
Ann Salus, of Harding, Walter
Pellegrini, of Duryea, Melody
Jackson, of Avoca, Pat Battis-
ti, Charlene Cook and Ann
Martin, of Hughestown, all
have in common?
1987 25 Years Ago
Ki Garzella and Dan Lippe-
rini Jr., of Pittston, put the
final touches on their Mazda
Rx3 racecar after entering the
81st Annual Giants Despair
Hill Climb. As chairman of
Americas oldest racing event,
Dan Lipperini Sr. hoped to
rekindle interest in the race and
bring something back to the
Valley.
After a six-year absence, the
race attracted 73 competitors
and 7,000 spectators in 1986
and Dan expected the same in
1987.
The summer of 1906 was the
first year for the oldest hill
climb race in the country. Ac-
cording to www.tournepa.com,
History Greats like Louis
Chevrolet, Carroll Shelby and
Roger Penske all faced the
notorious Devils Elbow for the
title of King of the Hill.
This year, the 106th anni-
versary of Giants Despair Hill
Climb in Laurel Run is set for 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. today, July 15.
Answer #1
In 1947, J.B. traveled by bus
from New York City to Pittston
with his wife and two young
children to visit relatives over
the July 4 holiday. His trip back
home however started out rather
unpleasantly. In a letter to the
editor, J.B. wrote, The reason I
am writing this is because of
the congestion at the bus stops
in Pittston and I wondered why
Pittstonians put up with it.
Hundreds of persons gathered
at the intersection of William
and Main streets awaiting the
arrival of buses to take them to
their destinations. Myself and
my family stood in the sun for
almost two hours awaiting ac-
commodations. Pittston is large
enough to have a good-sized
bus terminal.
Answer #2
They were among the 250
area residents who auditioned
for the Merv Griffin Group,
owners of WYOUs popular
television game show, Jeopar-
dy. Only 10 people were to be
chosen to travel to California
for further auditions.

This September, take a ride
back in time on the historical
Reading and Northern Company
rail line. This years Greater Pitt-
ston Charity Train Ride benefit-
ing the Pittston Memorial Li-
brary, Greater Pittston YMCA
and the Care and Concern Free
Health Clinic will do just that.
Travel one of the oldest rail
routes in the country as you ride
along the tracks that will take
you from Duryea to Jim Thorpe.
Be a part of history on one of the
oldest forms of transportation al-
lowing you to see and feel what it
was like as this area developed.
The excursion in a 1920s era
open window coach pulled by a
diesel locomotive will travel
through towns of Northeastern
Pennsylvania that seem to be
stuck in time. These beautiful
towns, such as Jim Thorpe,
maintain their small village vin-
tage feel.
This is more than just a train
ride, its an adventure. The rail-
way system helped build North-
eastern Pennsylvania and lay the
foundation for the future. In the
beginning of the 20th century, a
decline of the rail system in the
area occurred as coal fell as king.
But in1996 the railway was rees-
tablished. This opened the doors
for passengers to once again
travel along these tracks.
The Greater Pittston Charity
Train Ride railroad excursion to
Jim Thorpe is Sunday, Sept. 9.
The train will depart at 9 a.m.
from Duryea and return at ap-
proximately 6:45 p.m. Upon ar-
rival in Jim Thorpe, passengers
will have an opportunity to
browse the many specialty shops
and restaurants sprinkled
throughout this historic town.
Tickets are $65 each. Checks
should be made payable and sent
to the Greater Pittston Chamber
Charity Train Ride c/o Pittston
Memorial Library, 47 Broad St.,
Pittston, PA18640.
For more information, contact
Gloria at 570-693-0766 or Tina

Edward Boyanoski, 89, of Du-
pont, considers himself a very
lucky man. He was married to
his beloved Eleanor for nearly
64-years until this she passed
away last April. He fathered
three great children, Janet, Ed-
ward, Jr. and Stephen and is
proud as a peacock to be called
Grampy.
His daughter, now Janet Mar-
tin, has been very successful
right out of college when she
worked for CNN. Currently,
shes the chief administrative of-
ficer for Emigrant Savings Bank
as well a real estate investor.
More than 23 years ago while
traveling through Africa on a
photo shoot, Janet, a 1968 Pitt-
ston Area graduate, was inspired
to create a village for Maasi
women who had been aban-
doned by their tribe. She later re-
turned to Africa to make her
dream a reality. She founded
Angels in Africa 18 years ago.
Over those 18 years, she
helped build huts, create gar-
dens, secured cows, and chick-
ens, which nowprovide approxi-
mately 50 women with income.
Over time, the Angels in Afri-
ca organization worked to pro-
vide schooling for children in
and around the area neighbor-
hoods. The schools provide edu-
cation to children from kinder-
garten to eighth grade.
As a result of the organiza-
tions efforts, the school now
serves more than 350 children
where each child has his or her
own chair and desk.
Just a few weeks ago, Janet
took her father Edward and ne-
phew Edward III to Africa for
the opening of the third and
James Patterson character named for Ed Boyanoski
Daughter Janet Martin to host
local seniors at book-signing
with author who is her friend

largest Angels in Africa school.
The trio spent 10 days in Kenya
where the schools are located.
After landing in Africa, they
trekked to the village were they
were greeted by four women.
They placed an artifact on Ja-
nets head signifying she was
special, Edward said.
We had something to do ev-
ery day, said Edward. We did
safaris, hot air balloon rides, and
had great meals. Ill never forget
this trip.
Outside of traveling, Edward
and Janet have a passion for
reading. Their favorite author is
James Patterson. Over the years,
Janet befriended Patterson and
through that friendship James
was kind enough to name one of
his characters, James Emmanuel
Boyanoski, a detective, in his lat-
est novel, I, Michael Bennett.
I was thrilled to have my
name in one of Pattersons
books, Edward said.
Ive known about this for a
while and my late wife and I
were excited to see the book in
print.
Edward received his copy just
days before he left for Africa. I
didnt get a chance to read but a
few pages, there was too much
excitement (in Africa).
As a special surprise, at a sug-
gestion of Janets mom Eleanor,
a bus, paid for by Janet, will
leave the Pittston Senior Citizens
Center this coming Wednesday
to travel to Sterlington, New
York, to Janets estate where the
40 guests will be treated to a lun-
cheon on the grounds and be giv-
en a complimentary copy of Pat-
tersons I, Michael Bennett.
As a special treat, James Pat-
terson himself will also be on the
grounds to sign books.
Hes scheduled to be there,
said Edward. I hope his sched-
ule doesnt change.
Upon arrival the African village, Janet Martin, center with hat, was
greeted by the women and children she helps support.

Last Sunday my family and I
experienced something we had
always dreaded happening we
lost our beloved dog, Benji, to a
sudden and massive stroke.
While we are grateful God
blessed him (and us) with 15
years of happiness, when you
have someone in your life that
special who has faithfully been
by your side as you faced lifes
happiest and hardest moments,
no amount of time seems like
enough.
We wonder why couldnt it be
16 or 17 years or more? Unfortu-
nately, well never have that an-
swer, but I do know God takes
people and pets from this Earth
once they have fulfilled the role
he had planned for them.
While heartbroken doesnt
even begin to describe the ache
and absence my mom Lorraine,
my brother Tom, my husband
Jim and I are feeling, we will try
our best to keep the things Benji
taught us at the forefront of our
minds and active in the way we
live. He defined what it means to
be loyal, caring, compassionate
and loving because he expressed
and lived these qualities uncon-
ditionally without looking for
anything in return. And that is a
good example not just for my
family, but one everyone can
learn from.
Peace be with you, love you
and God bless you, dear sweet
beautiful angel Benji. We will al-
ways love you and we will never
forget you and your love.

Pittston Area might as well
start charging a toll for The
Bridge, because they own it. The
Bridge Award competition will
enter its ninth year in September
with Pittston Area having won
six of the eight previous awards
and four consecutive. In the 10
school years 2002-03 through
2011-12 Pittston Area teams have
a 98-62 record against Wyoming
Area teams. Thats a .612 win-
ning percentage.
The first two school years of
the competition, 2002- `03 and ` 03- `
04, the winner was decidedbythe
overall winning percentage of the
schools teams in sports where
they played each other with head-
to-head games weighted for two
points. Pittston Area won both of
those years. Beginning with the
` 04- `05 season the formula was
changedtoasimplehead-to-head
competition. Whichever school
won the most games against the
rival school won the trophy.
Pittston Area won decisively in
five of the first seven years of
head-to-head. Pittston Area won
13-8 in 2004- `05, 16-5 in 2007- `08,
and 13-8 in 2008- `09, 13-8 in
09-10, 12-5 2010-11and13-5 in
11-12
The only drama in the history
of the award came at the end of
the two school years when
Wyoming Area won. In 2005- `06
WA won 11-9 and had to win the
last two games, softball and base-
ball, to clinch. With the competi-
tion tied 9-9, it looked like Pitt-
ston Area was about to clinch
when the softball teams played at
Pittston Area in the next to last
head-to-head game of the year.
Pittston Area had beaten Wyom-
ing Area 12-2 earlier in the sea-
son and 11 consecutive times
since 1997. But Wyoming Area
pulled the upset, 6-5 to give the
school a 10-9 lead with the just
one game left, baseball. Wyom-
ing Area had to win the baseball
game, because if the Bridge
standings ended 10-10 Pittston
Area would have retained the tro-
phy. There is no tiebreaker.
Wyoming Area won 6-5.
In 2006-07 Wyoming Area
won 12-11 after being behind 11-
10 with two games to go, boys
tennis and softball. WA won the
tennis match3-2settingupa win-
ner-take-all softball game. Lots
of drama, as the Bridge Trophy
was at the field for all to see. Af-
ter winning, 9-3, the Lady War-
riors sat in a circle around the tro-
phy, pulled up grass and threw it
in the air like confetti.
Pittston Area doesnt go in for
such drama. They clinched early
every time they won. There was
drama of a different kind when
PAwonin2008-09. ThePAboys
tennis team clinched the trophy
early in the spring two days after
their coach Kim Collins deliver-
ed a baby boy.
In the early years there were
two Bridge trophies, one called
the Public Division for the Pitt-
ston Area - Wyoming Area com-
petition. The second trophy was
for the All-Schools Division
which included Seton Catholic.
As Seton, as a single A school,
rarely played head-to-head ver-
sus PA and WA, the trophy was
awarded based on a rather com-
plicated winning percentage for-
mula based on the schools
teams records in sports where
the three schools did play each
other.
Seton, somewhat surprisingly,
won the first season and hung a
huge banner on the school pro-
claiming the fact.
Pittston Area won the All-
Schools trophythe next three sea-
sons and thus took permanent
possession of the trophy after
Seton Catholic closed. Wyoming
Area never won an All-Schools
trophy. Counting both divisions
Pittston Area has won eight of 11.
The identical Bridge Trophies
were carvedfromsingle pieces of

The last two school years com-
bined the Patriot teams are 25-10
against the Warrior teams. Last
school year PAled13-1going in-
to the spring. WA won all three
spring games in girls soccer, boys
tennis, baseball and softball and
the final was 13-5.

Sometimes we forget to enjoy
the simple things in life such as
picking a cucumber from the
vine or a green pepper from the
plant, or a morning walk on the
beach while on vacation or a cup
of freshly brewed coffee after a
big meal.
You can also add a fishing trip
on the Susquehanna River to the
list. Its tradition of mine and it is
fishing at its simplest form. In
my case its a wading trip com-
plete with an old pair of jean
shorts and a beat up pair of
sneakers. The equipment list is
even simpler. I take a medium
action spinning rod and reel, a
bait can, a few #4 hooks, a few
swivels and a couple of split
shots. There are no tackle boxes
or nets, boats or motors, just your
basic fishing gear and a strong
back.
I made my first trip to the river
this week. My nephew was in
town and he enjoys fishing the
river the wayhis father andI used
to fish it when we were growing
up. Our first goal was to pick
enough clippers to fish for a few
hours. The level of the river is
perfect for bait picking and wad-
ing. I wasnt quite sure what to
expect considering the fact that
just 10 months ago the river left
its banks, ripped through towns
and left debris scattered every-
where. The raging waters cer-
tainly changed the flow of the
river. I was veryinterestedinsee-
ing howthe flood of 2011altered
my favorite fishing holes.
We approached the faster
moving water with caution. My
suspicions were correct what
used to be a heavy flowing
streamof water is a nowfilled in
with rocks and is moving at a
much slower pace than that of
years before. My favorite bait
picking area was gone as well. I
didhowever findanother one rel-
atively quickly. We continued
downstream in search of small-
mouth bass water. It seemed that
while one hole was filled in, an-
other one was created and quite
fishable.
This year it is important to
carefully and methodically wade
the river. Last Septembers rush-
ing waters brought with it all
kinds of debris. Ripped up and
crumbled remnants of trailers,
boats, toys and all sorts of per-
sonal belongings can be found
everywhere. The islands are
probably the best examples of
debris. Entire buildings can be
found along with mattresses,
tires and even the kitchen sink.
Be sure to watch where you walk
especially in the moving water
where you cant see your feet.
Once we did our survey of the
river it was time to pick bait and
get fishing. The key to fishing in
this low warm water is to find
anymovingwater witha depthof
two feet or more. The bass will
hold up in these areas because it
is a little cooler and much more
oxygenated. Bait can also be
found near the faster moving wa-
ters.
Danny, my nephew, and I
picked about two dozen clippers
in a half hour and it was time to
hook them up. I use a number
four hook with a split shot and a
swivel. The cast is a simple one. I
throw it directly across the cur-
rent and allow it to flow thought
the moving water, Danny was the
first one to hook up and the bites
kept right on coming. We landed
a dozen or so before calling it a
night. I plan to hit a few of my
other favorite fishing holes. I
hope they didnt change all that
much.
Good luck if youre heading
out and be safe.
Buggy reminder
Now that summer is in full
swing and plant life is bordering
our hiking trails and edges of our
picnic grounds, it is important to
be aware of ticks. I amconstantly
picking them off of myself after
spending time in the great out-
doors. The summer heat should
be taken seriously. Everyone
should apply sunscreen, drink
plenty of water and do all they
can to prevent bug bites and
more importantly, tick bites.
The Tick-Borne Disease Alli-
ance(TBDA) has compiled a list
of Top10 Tick Prevention Tips to
help everyone outdoors avoid
becoming a victim of these dis-
ease carrying menaces. Ticks are
most active in the spring and
summer months when theyre
typically in their nymph stage.
Because of their small size at this
stage in their lives, these ticks
can go feeding relatively unno-
ticed for days.
Once imbedded a deer tick
carrying the Lyme disease will
begin to spread the bacteria.
Lyme disease is the fastest grow-
ing infectious disease and the
most common tick-borne dis-
ease in the country, according to
the Center for Disease Control.
There is currently no full-proof
diagnostic tool for Lyme disease,
causing thousands of people to
often go misdiagnosed and with-
out appropriate treatment. Many
sufferers of Lyme disease are not
even aware that they area victims
because they simply dont have
the facts.
Organizations such as the
TBDA believe it is essential to
raise awareness about tick pre-
vention.
I believe that a few minutes of
prep time before an adventure
and a few minutes after for self-
inspection is not at all hard to
handle. It beats getting Lyme
disease.
TBDAs Top 10 Tick Prevention
Tips
1. Purchase tick-repellent
clothing, especially clothing
treated with permethrin, an in-
secticide that repels and kills
ticks. You may spray your own
clothing with permethrin or buy
clothing already treated with it.
2. Reduce the amount of skin
exposed by sporting long pants,
long-sleeved shirts and a hat
3. EPA-approved insect repel-
lent shouldbe appliedtoexposed
skin
4. Venture in the center of
woodland trails, and by all
means avoid walking along any
deer paths
5. Every time youve been out-
side, check for ticks while you
are out and as soon as you get
back
6. Never wait to shower. Bath-
ing as soon as possible will help
in removing unattached ticks
from your body. Bath time is the
perfect time to carefully inspect
for any unwanted hitchhikers.
7. Take your clothes off and
put themin the dryer at high heat
for about 30 minutes to kill any
ticks
8. Inspect your pets when they
come inside from the outdoors,
as they may be transporting ticks
that can then transfer to you
9. Opt for light-colored cloth-
ing to make it easier to spot ticks
10. Tuck your shirt into your
pants and your pants legs into
your socks.

kins, Kelly Mitchell, Amy Silinskie,

bounding team. The Lady Patriots var-
sity team also won the title of the best
