Since 10-term Congressman
Tim Holden, of St. Clair, must
win a primary and then general
election if he hopes to continue
to represent the newly confi-
gured 17th district, which now
includes most of Greater Pitt-
ston, his visit here Tuesday was
obviously an attempt to win our
hearts. By the end of the day, he
appeared to have accomplished
that. And the folks Holden met
along the way appeared to have
won his as well.
Two, in particular, came in
the form of Bills:
Bill Rowe and Bill Burke.
At the West Pittston Library,
which sustained heavy damage
in September, Holden encoun-
tered Bill Rowe, a member of
the library board, who immedi-
ately brought up the name of
the late Sen. Jim Rhoades,
killed in a car crash three years
ago.
Jim was a good friend of
mine, Holden said, shaking
Rowes hand.
He was my fraternity broth-
er at East Stroudsburg, Rowe
responded.
The two shared stories about
Rhoades, Rowe saying he got to
know him pretty well during his
college days and even better
later in Republican political
circles. Holden, who like
Rhoades hails from the Potts-
ville area, said Rhoades played
a role in getting him a football
scholarship to the University of
Richmond. Each remembered
Rhoades as an all around good
guy.
Rowe rattled off a list of
Greater Pittston members of
Sigma Pi who would have
known Rhoades: Tony Marti-
nelli, Pat Forlenza, Allie Urban,
Joe Bachkowski, Nick Mar-
ianacci, Dave Mirra, Pat and
Mike Donahue, Gary Thomas,
Eddie Murphy, Sal DelRegno,
and Mike Gula.
Rowe, a Republican-turned-
Democrat, said later that Hold-
en impressed me with just one
meeting. He showed a genuine
concern about this town. He
wanted to know things. He took
the time to ask.
A few doors away on Warren
Street, Holden got out of his car
to shake hands with a fella
standing on his front porch
watching the congressmans
small motorcade pass. The fella
was Bill Burke.
As Holden bounded up the
steps to shake Bills hand, I was
close enough to tell him, You
are about the meet the worlds
best Notre Dame fan.
Hey, Im a big Notre Dame
fan myself, Holden said.
What til you hear this guys
story, I responded.
It didnt take much to get Bill
Burke to tell his story to which
Holden listened intently.
Who wouldnt?
It was Burkes turn to host the
neighborhood tailgate party for
the televising of the Notre
Dame vs. Southern Cal game
on October 15, 2005. No Notre
Dame fan has to be reminded
of that game, nor wants to be,
but it went like this: on the last
play, Southern Cal scored a
controversial touchdown to win
34-31 and remain undefeated.
Burke said there were at least
60 people at his home and there
were three TVs going: one with
the Notre Dame game, one with
Michigan and one with Penn
State.
Just after the dramatic Notre
Dame loss, Burkes daughter
noticed her dad asleep in his
chair. Or so she thought.
I wasnt sleeping, he told
Holden. I was dead.
Burke had had a heart attack.
I saw the touchdown and the
next thing I remember was
waking up in the hospital, he
said.
Burke credits the actions of
Dr. Sal Infantino, a dentist who
was at the party, with saving his
life through CPR. They also got
a 9-1-1 call out and it happened
there was a police cruiser right
at the corner. Officer Dion
Fernandes showed up with a
defibrillator which got Burkes
heart going again.
As with most people when
they hear Burkes story, Holden
was speechless.
But Burke had more. He told
the congressman that just a few
days ago he took a phone call
from a service asking him if he
knew Congressman Holden.
Burke said he heard of him but
never met him. The surveyor
then outlined Holdens record
and compared it to the platform
of a potential challenger. The
surveyor asked Burkes opinion
and Burke said he told him, I
like Holden. He sounds like a
man of the people.
You really told him that?
Holden asked.
Sure did, Burke said.
Burke gave the congressman
a tour of his home which is
under repair following the
flood. The walls of the main
floor are nothing but studs.
Holden said he found the dev-
astation shocking but Burke
told him, This is just a typical
house on these streets.
Holden left with a heck of a
story to tell his friends and
colleagues. And Burke said
later meeting the congressman
only proved what he told the
surveyor was right.

fter viewing a slide pre-
sentation by former
mayor Michael Lombar-
do on progress and planned de-
velopment in Pittston City, Con-
gressman Tim Holden took the
microphone Tuesday night and
told a gathering of Greater Pitt-
ston government officials that
one slide in particular made him
feel at home. It was an artists
rendition of a proposed down-
town mural depicting the areas
roots in coal mining, railroading
and the garment industry.
When I saw that mural with
the anthracite coal miners and
the garment workers it touched
my heart, he said, I said to my-
self I can relate to these folks.
This is my heritage too.
Another slide in the presenta-
tion at the newly opened Open
Space facility on South Main
Street brought a laugh from ev-
eryone in attendance, especially
Holden.
Lombardo pointed out that
plans call for erecting a marquee
on the front of Open Space simi-
lar to one which was a trademark
at the long-ago razed American
Theatre. When he brought up a
photo of that old marquee, it
turned out it had been taken
when a William Holden movie
was showing.
The word Holden was big
and bold on the slide.
Lombardo said later the slide
surprised himas much as anyone
else, but if the purpose of invit-
ing the 10-term congressman,
who may be representing Grea-
ter Pittston a year from now, was
to win his favor, the slide didnt
hurt.
Holden spent the afternoon
and evening here Tuesday mak-
ing stops at the Pittston and West
Pittston libraries, visiting homes
of two flood victims in West Pitt-
ston, touring all of Greater Pitt-
ston by automobile, and then
meeting for several hours with
elected officials and community
representatives at Open Space.
State Rep. Mike Carroll host-
ed the evening meeting and be-
gan by saying redistricting
brought us here tonight.
Carroll was referring to the
fact that much of Greater Pitt-
ston now lies in Holdens recon-
figured 17th Congressional Dis-
trict.
Most of the communities were
previously in the 11th Congres-
sional District served by Cong.
Lou Barletta.
But Holden, Carroll pointed
out, is not Greater Pittstons con-
gressman just yet. That wont
happen for a full year, and only if
he wins the Democrat Partys
nomination in spring and the
general election next November.
A victory would give Holden an
11th term in Congress.
Still, Holden said he jumped at
the opportunity to come to Grea-
ter Pittston and meet the people
whocouldwell be his future con-
stituents. I wanted to do a little
outreach up here, he told report-
er Bill OBoyle of the Times
Leader.

Nothing gets Kevin Kennedy
steamed like losing steam.
Kennedy the sole proprietor
of D & R Murphy Steam Spe-
cialties with an office in West
Pittston has been helping large
and small businesses and gov-
ernment agencies detect andstop
steam leaks in the heating and
hot water systems of their large
buildings for 25 years.
FromAlaska toNewYorkCity
to North Carolina, he has craw-
led around tunnels and mechani-
cal rooms in prisons, colleges,
nursing homes, manufacturing
plants, office complexes and
other large buildings doing what
are known in the industry as
steam trap audits.
Kennedy works either directly
for the entities owning the build-
ings or, as in the case of govern-
ment buildings, for the largest
energy companies in the world
known as ESCOs.
Using what he describes as an
ultrasonic stethoscope Kennedy
who is also a representative of
the device manufacturer listens
to steam traps to determine if
they are operating properly.
When a faulty steam trap is de-
tected, its tagged or painted.
Kennedy then prepares a report
showing the tag number, trap lo-
cation, type of failure, and cost
analysis.
The cost analysis is critical as
it not only estimates the cost of
the repair it also estimates what
the clients can expect to save.
Kennedy said he audited a prison
with 646 steam traps. So much
steam was being lost that after
the traps were cleaned and re-
paired the prison cut its $178,000
monthly heating bill in half.
In another case he helped a
300-roomhotel which was using
steam only for hot water cut its
bill in half.
He said the systems in many of
the buildings he audits are 50 or
more years old and were never
tested before. He often finds
they are losing 25 to 50 percent
of their energy.
Kennedy said in NewYork the
waste is double for customers of
central heating suppliers. There
are 2,000 plus customers that
buy steamfromsuppliers at pric-
es that are extremely high be-
cause of the suppliers steam
loss. In turn, many of these cus-
tomers are wasting another 25 to
50 percent.
A lot of D & Rs business fo-
cuses on older buildings where
he often finds massive steam
leaks which waste energy and
money.
Yet, he says, correcting steam
loss is a little appreciated source
of energy conservation which,
he said, can reduce coal, oil and
gas use. Because you cant see
it like solar panels or wind tur-
bines, what Ive been doing falls
on deaf ears.
Some of the deaf ears he al-
ludes to are on the heads of legis-
lators.
There are regulations for
light bulbs, water conservation,
but nothing for steam, he says.
Theres a real need for regula-
tions and for people to take a
look at steam systems. If busi-
nesses can get tax incentives and
grants for solar and wind, why
cant they get them for steam
system improvements.
Kennedy grew up in South
Wilkes-Barre and Dallas. He
lives in Harding. He was work-
ing as a pipe fitter at the Hotel
Sterling when he was introduced
to people in the steam trap busi-
ness. That led him to a partner-
ship in D & R Murphy Steam
Specialties.

Back in the mid-90s Dave
Brocca was a jumper and hurdler
with the Wyoming Area track
team. That was before he made
the leap to Los Angeles and into
the movie business.
Brocca, who grew up in West
Pittston, was a film major in his
junior year at Penn State when he
got an internship in Los Angeles
at IFILM.com. Hes been in LA
ever since. After the internship
he and his cousin Albert Brocca
teamed up to do producing and
directing for IFILM.com, MTV
Networks, and Mel Gibsons
Icon. Eventually Dave and Al-
bert founded their own company
Pitch Films, which won the 2007
Independent Spirit Awards
Media Lab contest. More recent-
ly Dave was a cinematographer
for the last season of Spike TVs
The Deadliest Warrior and
Comedy Centrals web show
The Download.
But the cousins havent forgot-
ten about the Pittston area. Over
the last four years they have been
working on a 90-minute feature
length documentary titled The
Knox Mine Disaster: The End of
Anthracite.
Beginning Thursday in con-
junction with Mining History
Week Albert Brocca will screen
of a trailer of the movie at three
venues.
The trailer will be screened on
Thursday, January19 at 7 p.m. in
Room 104 of the McGowan
Business School at Kings Col-
lege following the Inaugural
Msgr. John J. Curran Memorial
Lecture -- The Knox Mine Di-
saster: The Anthracite Mine-
worker and The Culture of Cor-
ruption -- by Prof. Robert P.
Wolensky and William A. Bill
Hastie.
On Saturday, January 21,
Brocca and Wolensky will pre-
sent the trailer at the Anthracite
Heritage Museum in Scranton
for the 53rd Anniversary of the
Knox disaster. The program will
also include George Bucky
Mazur, the last living survivor of
the disaster; anthracite folk mu-
sic and Audrey Calveys memo-
rial embroidery. Shes the daugh-
ter of victim John Baloga.
On January 24 at 7 p.m. at the
Earth Conservancy Building,
Main Street, Ashley, in front of
the Huber Breaker the trailer will
be screenedfor the Huber Break-
er Preservation Society. Atty. F.
Charles Petrillo will speak on:
Last Shift: The End of Deep-
Coal Mining in the Wyoming
Valley 1959-1974.
Refreshments will be available
at all three events.
Wolensky, a full-time Profes-
sor at the University of Wiscon-
sin at Stevens Point and an Ad-
junct History Professor at
Kings, is the author of The Knox
Mine Disaster: The Final Years
of the Northern Anthracite In-
dustry andthe Effort toRebuilda
Regional Economy.
The idea for the movie sprung
from a chance meeting at Broc-
cas great grandmothers funeral
when his uncle Bill Best, the
President of the Huber Breaker
Preservation Society, introduced
him to Wolensky, who became a
consultant and backer of the mo-
vie.
They talked about anthracite
history and Dave was fascinated,
especially by the Knox. The
Knox is a fantastic story and
there are still people around to-
day to tell it. I read Bobs book
and Jeff Goodells Big Coal
and I was in.
Step one was an interview
with Wolensky.
Bob recommended people
we should interviewand once we
got going one interview just led
to the next. It was very exciting,
kind of like unraveling a puzzle.
We have about 12 hours of inter-
view footage, Dave said.
The Broccas flew home twice
a year with their camera gear and
shot the interviews. Among the
subjects are the late Steve Luka-
sik, the first photographer on the
scene and his brother Bill; Jack
Scanella, who filmed the disas-
ter; Bill Hastie, a mine inspector
at the scene; half brothers John
Gadomski, who died last year,
and Bucky Mazar who were
working in the mine; and Audrey
Calvey.
Dave said while the movie is
the story of a disaster, its also
about survival.
Its a story of survivors. Not
just the men who got out alive
but also the families that had to
cope with the loss of a loved one
and a community that had to sur-
vive the loss of over 10,000 jobs
once the mines closed.
Previously unknown film
footage has been found since
WVIA produced a documentary
on the Knox in 1984.
I presented a short filmof our
footage at the 50thanniversaryat
the Anthracite Heritage Mu-
seum. Dave said. Afterward
Robert Dructor, a distant relative
of mine, told me about an old
8mm film reel my great uncle,
Andrew Dructor Sr., shot of the
disaster. Andrewwas a police of-
ficer in Pittston in 1959 and he
was given a camera to film evi-
dence. I drove to Harrisburg
where film reel was stored and
took it back to LA. It was over 50
years old and brittle. Al and I
have a friend who works for the
UCLA film archive who digi-
tized it and to our amazement it
was color footage of train cars
being sucked down into the
mines in the whirlpool in the
Susquehanna.
Dave said while video of what
was happening above ground ex-
ists, he and Albert want to depict
what was happening down in the
mine.
Weve all seen the raging vor-
tex of the Susquehanna. Id like
to show what happened under-
ground. To do the film justice,
wed like to do a re-enactment of
what the miners experienced un-
derground. Were looking to
raise funds to achieve this, as it
will be the most expensive part
of production. The amount of
funds we can raise will deter-
mine howbigwe cangowiththat
re-enactment.
The cousins have a campaign
going at kickstarter.com where
anyone can pledge to the project
with a credit card. Go to Kick-
starter.com and search for Knox
Mine Disaster.
Dave said there are incentives
to pledge. There are different
tiers of fundingwhere youcanbe
the first to receive a copy on
DVD, get a special thanks in the
credits, get tickets to the pre-
miere of the film, as well as other
incentives. Once the filmis com-
plete wed like to premiere it lo-
cally and then send it around to
film festivals, film markets and
networks to find a distributor.
Our goal is to get this film seen
by as many people as possible.

n the early morning hours of
January 6, four flooded
homes in West Pittston were
broken into.
Three were in the same neigh-
borhood at 22 Philadelphia Ave-
nue and 1200 and 1202 Susque-
hanna Avenue.
The fourth robbery was across
town at 101York Avenue. Anoth-
er break-in was
reported Mon-
day.
These
crimes are just
the latest in a
rash of robber-
ies of flooded
homes since
September in
West Pittston.
Mayor Tony
Denisco said
the police de-
partment was
called to investigate 12 to15 rob-
beries in flooded areas since the
September flood. In two of those
cases arrests have been made.
In response, the borough has
two patrols on the streets 24/7
except for a couple shift cross-
over hours.
Still with over 800 homes
flooded in an area covering al-
most one-third of the borough,
the police cant be everywhere.
Were trying to run doubles.
Were doing the best we can,
Denisco said.
The night after the latest rob-
beries police got some unexpect-
ed help from three members of
the Wilkes-Barre chapter of the
Guardian Angels.
Scott Koppenhofer, of the
Wilkes-Barre Guardian Angels,
saidhe andtwochapter members
patrolled in the flooded areas.
Denisco and Chief of Police
Paul Porfirio were not aware the
Guardian Angels were in town
until informed by a reporter and
they were not happy that they
werent given advance notice.
Under the right circumstanc-
es, Porfirio said of the Angels,
wed have no problem. The
more eyes the better. But we
dont know who these people
are. For them to just show up is
not proper protocol. They have
to coordinate their efforts. They
should have come to the borough
building.
Denisco agreed. Im glad
they took the initiative, but I
wish they would have said some-
thing. Im only a phone call
away.
Koppenhofer admitted he
didnt check with the police be-
fore patrolling in West Pittston.
Typically as a courtesy we do
communicate with the local po-
lice, he said, but in this case it
was a spur of the
moment deci-
sion to go to
West Pittston.
We cant always
plan in advance.
We have restric-
tions, people
with jobs. We
had three that
night so we de-
cided to go.
Koppenhofer
said he did chat
with police who
were on patrol. They stopped
when they sawus on Susquehan-
na Avenue. We chatted. They
asked how everything was go-
ing. It didnt seem to be an is-
sue.
Koppenhofer said the Guardi-
an Angels do not carry weapons
or confront suspects.
If something happens, he
said, we have cell phones and
radios.
Even at that Porfirio was an-
gry that he or Denisco werent
given a heads up.
Right nowwe dont trust any-
body, he said. Weve had sub-
contractors, family involved in
these robberies. I have to know
who these people are. Anyone
can put on a beret.
Members of the Alliance of
Guardian Angels which has
141 chapters are recognizable
by their red berets.
The group was founded by
Curtis Sliwa in1979inNewYork
City.
Guardian Angels aside, Porfi-
rio said the burglaries in the
flooded homes are difficult to
prevent.
Right now were easy pick-
ings, he said. We suspect these
are drug users looking for quick
cash. They are taking small
items, precious medals, jewelry,
not TVs. How easy is it for them
to pick out a center house in a
dark block? Forced entry and
they go right upstairs. Were do-
ing our best, but the only thing
that is going to fix this is people
getting back in their homes so
neighbors can watch out for each
other.
Porfirio whose own home
was flooded and was uninhabit-
able for seven weeks said he
and his officers are not dispas-
sionate toward the robbery vic-
tims.
Half our officers were in the
flood. This is personal for us, he
said. We all feel it. Theres not a
member of the force thats not
frustrated. And we have the 75
percent of the town that wasnt
flooded. They want to see patrols
in their neighborhood too.
Another source of frustration
for Porfirio and the police is
messages about suspicious ac-
tivity left on the police voice
mail.
If you see something suspi-
cious call 911, he said. We
dont have a dispatcher here. Our
guys are out on patrol, they
might not get their messages for
three four hours.

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.
In the 1830s, the Cherokee nation was driven
from the east coast to what later became
Oklahoma via the Trail of Tears. Some
Cherokees who had owned land in the South
brought their slaves. After the Civil War, the
Cherokee nation voted to admit the slave
descendants to the tribe. But now the Cherokee
nation Judicial Appeal Tribunal has ruled
that a 2007 tribal decision to kick the so-
called Freedmen out of the tribe was proper.
Removal means the so-called Freedmen
will no longer be eligible for Cherokee nation
benefts, like free health care and education.
***
A New York court has upheld a lower courts
ruling that the New York City teacher ratings
should be available to the public. The ratings,
which are based on student progress on
standardized tests, have been used the past two
years for tenure decisions.
***
Seattles new street food law puts mobile
restaurants like food trucks on public streets
instead of private lots. Theyll take up precious
parkingspots but will paythe cityabout $1,000
a year for the space.
***
Tennessees red light cameras can no longer be
used to charge drivers for failing to stop before
turning right through a red light, under a new
state law.
***
Michigan prisoners have no federal
constitutional right to parole under state law, a
three-judge panel at the 6th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals has ruled.

n September, Michelle Pion-
tek and her father Bernard
learned something about
their funeral home they never
knew the back of the building
is lower than the front. Its
knowledge they could have lived
without, especially considering
how the learned it.
During the Flood of 2011, the
Bernard J. Piontek Funeral
Home at 204 Main Street got 14
inches of water in the front of the
building and three feet in the
back.
The three feet was enough to
ruin the prep and viewing rooms,
which had to be gutted and re-
built.
The Pionteks kept the business
going as best they could by using
the rectory of Sacred Heart of Je-
sus Church for viewings. Were
grateful for the use of the recto-
ry, Michelle said.
While the Pionteks were able
to keep the business going, the
space was tight in the rectory and
they lost some calls.
As the Pionteks did not live at
their business site, they didnt
get any help from FEMA.
And in the immediate after-
math of the flood, the SBA of-
fered loans with higher interest
than bank loans, Michelle said.
Sothe Pionteks went througha
local bank for a loan and rebuilt.
They hired contractors, electri-
cians, plumbers and are back in
business. They reopened just be-
fore Christmas.
Since then the SBA has insti-
tuted a program of one percent
interest loans.
The Pionteks are in the appli-
cation process for such a loan.
The Pionteks canbe reachedat
457-4301.

We would say we welcome United
States Congressman Tim Holden as our
representative in Washington, but that
might be premature. Under a realignment
of congressional districts Pittston has
been moved out of Lou Barlettas 11th and
into Holdens 17th District.
But it is said Holden must stand for
election in the primary in April and, if he
wins that, the general in November before
he becomes our representative.
That doesnt make a lot of sense, be-
cause if hes on the Primary ballot here in
April and Barletta is not, doesnt that
mean Holden is our already our congress-
man?
Some saythe newdistrict becomes offi-
cial when the November election winner
is swornina year fromnow. Others saythe
new district becomes official when the
Supreme Court certifies the changes,
which we understand is something of a
rubber stamp.
It is mandated in the constitution that a
remuneration, or census, take place every
10 years and that districts be reappor-
tioned based on the count.
We suppose its just semantics but in ei-
ther case we expect Holden will win those
elections and be our guy.
Granted, weeks or days can make a
huge difference in election politics let
alone several months, but Holden is the
dean of Pennsylvania congressman with
power and clout on the Agriculture and
Transportation committees. And he was
elected nine times when his districts reg-
istration was split 50/50 Republican-
Democrat andnowunder the reconfigura-
tion it has a Democratic edge.
But what really makes us comfortable
predicting he will be our congressman a
year from now is him. Everybody who
met him on Thursday when he toured the
area was impressed.
If he is vulnerable at all we suspect it
would be in the primary. Its possible a
Democrat from the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre corridor might make a run at himin
the primary by casting himas an outsider.
Good luck with that. He certainly didnt
come across as an outsider on Thursday,
but rather as an NEPA boy proud of his
coal cracker heritage
As always were not endorsing Holden
or anyone else. Were just making an ob-
servation and, or course, we could be
wrong.
Well see.
Welcome
Tim Holden
.This note is to publicly thank all who contributed to the Unit-
ed States Marine Corp Reserve Toys for Tots campaign this
Christmas season.
This was the seventh year that UPS has had the privilege of
teaming with the United States Marine Corp for this event. Dur-
ing these challenging economic times it never ceases to amaze
me of the generosity of the people in this community.
The UPS Store at the Midway Shopping Center also took part
in the Marine Corp Literacy Programwhere every dollar collect-
ed results in the purchase of a book for needy children.
The combined value of contributions taken in exceeded
$3,000 from this location alone.
Thank you and Happy New Year to all.

Thank you.
Those two words hardly seem sufficient to express our grat-
itude for your continued coverage of our work. It is only with the
support of the community that we are able to go forward. The
Dispatch has helped to make our work, the communitys work,
and to make this clinic, the peoples clinic.
Since opening in 2007, we have served over 4400 patient visits
to those without health insurance who would not otherwise have
access to good medical care. We feel very privileged to be able to
provide this service. But there is still muchtobe done, we contin-
ue to see more and more new patients each week with more and
more serious illnesses. We are always in need of donations in
order to assist in covering the cost of lab work and diagnostic
services for our patients, as well as a continued need for doctors,
specialists, dentists and nurses.
As we beginthe newyear, it is important for us toacknowledge
the vital part that you have played in our effort, so from all the
volunteers at the Care and Concern Free Health Clinic, we thank
you, we could not have this job alone.
Sincerely,
Gloria Blandina

Much of todays media focuses on the New Year
and a new diet. Weight loss advertisements are all
over the television and radio. Choosing nutritious
foods to eat can be confusing when our grocery
stores are packed multiple brand names all claim-
ing to be healthy and natural. One food that most
Americans canimprove uponintheir diets is whole
grains.
Whole grains have lots of value . They add min-
erals, vitamins, fiber and keep us feeling full.
Whole grains are complex carbohydrates, which
break down gradually to provide long-lasting ener-
gy, while alsocontributingtosatietyfeelingsatis-
fied, rather than hungry. This means that eating a
breakfast and lunch that includes whole-wheat ce-
real, oatmeal, whole-wheat toast, bulgur, and or
popcorn, for example, can provide long-lasting en-
ergy for the days activities.
Bulgur is an affordable whole grain that is easy
to make. Bulgur isnt a food found frequently on
my weekly shopping lists, but it is one that is pro-
moted by USDA and My Pyramid, as a whole
grain. Bulgur is parboiled, dried and partially de-
branned wheat, sometimes known as cracked
wheat. It is a whole grain.
Other whole grains are: Whole-wheat products
with the word whole as the first ingredient, oats,
popcorn, and brown or wild rice will be familiar to
many people. Whole grains such as buckwheat (or
kasha), cracked wheat (also called bulgur), whole
rye, whole-grain cornmeal, whole-grain barley,
quinoa, amaranth, millet, spelt and triticale may
not be as easy to find. However, they are appearing
more in our grocery aisles.
To get you started, try these two recipes which
utilize familiar foods and bulgur.
Hearty Bulgur Salad
Acolorful, tasty way to add more fiber to the diet
1 cup dry bulgur (cracked wheat)
2 cups warm water
2 cups peeled and diced cucumber
11/2 cups diced tomatoes
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
1/2 cup diced green pepper
10 radishes, diced
1/4 cup minced parsley
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced fresh mint
Combine bulgur and water; let stand until bulgur
is soft, about 20 minutes.
Strain off excess liquid. In a large salad bowl,
toss together all ingredients.
Refrigerate until serving.
Makes 6 cups.
Variation: Black olives, drained kidney beans
and corn may be added.
Bulgur Sloppy Joes or Chili
1 pound extra lean ground beef, pork, turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup bulgur wheat, dry
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can beef broth
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 cups water (optional)
Brown meat in skillet with onion and bulgur;
drain off any fat.
Add chili powder, pepper, beef broth and tomato
sauce. Stir in water if making chili.
Cover; simmer at least 30 minutes. More water
may be added depending on desired consistency.
Serve on whole grain buns or in bowl.

whole grains, call our office at 602-0600.

Very soon,
the television
and radio air-
waves and the
print media
will start their
election blitz
and residents
will be asked to register to vote
and then actually vote.
Get ready, it has already start-
ed in other states.
Unfortunately, many (too
many, in fact) have decided to
stand by the wayside with the be-
lief my vote doesnt mean any-
thing or you cant beat City Hall
or some other lame excuse.
Despite all the trials and trib-
ulations Americans have been
faced with over the years, we
have NOT lost out right to ex-
press our opinion through the
ballot box and 2012 will be an-
other opportunity to do so.
And, yes, your vote does
count.
Let me share something with
you as an example.
In my community of Hamburg
the most recent general election
in the fall of 2011, there were
open seats on the School Board
and Borough Council.
No one sought either position.
In early December, I received
a letter from the Elections Bu-
reau that I had been elected to a
two-year term on the School
Board by virtue of write-in
votes.
Afewdays later, I received an-
other letter informing me that I
had been elected to a two-year
term on Borough Council.
Since it was impossible to per-
form both tasks, I decided to ac-
cept the Council post and was
quickly named Chair of the Fi-
nance Committee.
I could have decided to pass on
both but I reasoned that I had an
obligation to honor the wishes of
those who used their right to vote
and thus I accepted.
So, Dispatch readers, my ad-
vice to each and every one is to
register to vote and then vote
when the primary is held in April
and the General election is held
in November.
Thats the way we do it in
America.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you
that my margin of victory in both
instances was TWO write-in
votes.
Dont let anyone tell you
YOUR vote doesnt count.
Something to think about.

Dont believe your
vote doesnt count
By Jim Gilmartin
In December you drag out the ladders and hang the lights on the house and porches.
Then you cover the bush with net lights. The third week of December you spend $25 for
a tree, a live tree, not to plant but to bring in the house and put in a stand in the living
room and then ask yourself, what the heck am I doing, a tree in the house?
You decorate the tree with ornaments, tinsel and lights. Lastly you put up the manger.
You rest for the next two or three weeks with good food and drink.
Nowcomes January. Youre tried and well fed, but you drag out the ladder, the boxes
for the lights and you start. You begin with the house and the bushes. Inside you take
down the tree and it goes out for the garbage.
Lastly you take apart the manager. You wrap each figure in tissue and store it in a box
marked manager. First the shepherds, then the three Wisemen, then Mary and Joseph.
Then you pick up Jesus from the manger. But here you stop!
Hes looking at you, yes you. You hear the words of the drummer boy song: I played
my drums for Him and He smiled at me.
I looked at Him and Hes smiling at me. Then the shocking realization -- this is the
Son of God. Its His birthday and I never wished hima happy birthday. Worse yet, I am
going to wrap Him in tissue and put Him in a box until next Christmas. Why?
The child is the Son of God who created everything that is, was or ever will be. He
feeds the birds of the air and lilies of the field. Howmuch more will he take care of me?
He will tell you how to solve your problems: your job, your familys health and safety
and more.
Just think howhe could solve the problems in our government. He can and will help.
All we have todois ask. WhenHe tells us what todowe must doit exactly. Andwe must
to it to perfection or to the very best of our ability. We will be surprised at the results.
So this January put the plastic statue in the box, but leave the real Jesus out. He can
and will help you in your life.
If you do as he asks it will be a happy New Year and all year long it will be a Merry
Christmas.

ings of life, liberty and happi-
ness. Under progressive lead-

John Rygiel, Leo Chiavacci,
Leo Rygiel and Leonard Se-
linski placed some very impor-
tant papers into a metal box and
gave them to Wyoming Bank

were records of the Wyoming

planned. The metal box was a
time capsule to be held for
future reference.
Reverend Walter Skurski
announced a Catafalque Mass
would be held at Saint Josephs
Church in Port Griffith to com-
memorate the second anni-
versary of the Knox Mine Di-
saster. According to catholi-
cculture.org, an anniversary
Catafalque
Mass is one
where absolu-
tions are given
as though the
body were
present. Some-
times the cof-
fin is made of
wood and
covered with a
pall. Six can-
dles usually
burn around it
during absolu-
tion services.

1971 41 Years Ago
The Sunday Dispatch In-
quiring Photographer asked
Pittston residents, The US
Defense Department has stated
American troops will be out of
Vietnam by May 1971. Do you
believe this is possible?
Nippy Nowakowski an-
swered, No, It cant happen by
May.
Mrs. Marion Kobylski
stated, I dont see how they
can be by May, possibly the end
of 1971.
Michael Dowd added, May-
be in three or four years, we
will be completely out of Viet-
nam.
Beginning in 1971, The Unit-
ed States began drastically
reducing their troop support in
South Vietnam during what was
called Vietnamization. On
March 5, 1971, the United
States returned the 5th Special
Forces Group, which was the
first American unit deployed to
South Vietnam, to its former
base in Fort Bragg, North Car-
olina. After the failure of the
Paris Peace Accord, President
Gerald Ford gave a televised
speech on April 23, 1975, de-
claring an end to the Vietnam
War and all U.S. aid. As North
Vietnamese tanks breached
defenses on the outskirts of
Saigon on April 30, the last
U.S. Marines evacuated the
embassy by helicopter.

In an article highlighting the
career of Joe Jupe Gentile,
Joseph Joey I Infantino
reflected on his days as a stu-
dent of the award winning
trombone player.
If I am any kind of musi-
cian, all my credit goes to him,
he said.
Gentile, a Pittston native,
traveled with big bands such as
John Long, Mel Hallet and
Sammy Kaye.
Along with performing, he
acquired a large collection of
musical instruments especially
horns.
Musical ability ran in the
family as his sisters Regina
Elko of West Pittston won a
scholarship in music to Mary-
wood College specializing in
the clarinet and Ann Marie
Warner played the accordion,
glockenspiel and piano.
In his Sunday Dispatch co-
lumn, The Strike Zone, David
Yonki highlighted the big
league baseball career of Joe
Ostrowski of West Wyoming.
A retired teacher, Ostrowski
did not relate much of his ma-
jor league experiences to his
acquaintances.
He pitched for the Boston
Braves and Bronx Bombers and
joined the Yankees in 1950
playing during the teams string
of bids for the World Series.
After his career, Joe returned
to Greater Pittston, taught so-
cial studies and coached base-
ball at West Wyoming High
School.
In 1978, Joe returned to Yan-
kee Stadium on invitation to
Old Timers Day.
The Sunday Dispatch In-
quiring Photographer asked
Pittston residents, With the
inauguration of Ronald Reagan,
do you think he will make a
better or worse president than
Jimmy Carter?
Marlene Sell answered, I
hope hell show signs of im-
provement, especially in North-
eastern Pennsylvania where
jobs are desperately needed.
Cindy Capizzi stated, Hes
our new president, lets hope for
the best.
1991 21 Years Ago
Sue Marconi, better known
as the penny candy lady, was
about to retire and close Marco-
nis Grocery Store which had
been in operation in West Pitt-
ston since 1927.
Sue along with her brother
David and sister Rose began
working in the store their par-
ents, Serafino and Mary,
founded after emigrating to
Pittston from Italy.
One of the most popular
items at the store had been the
penny candy. Some people
who have left town come back
and show their children where
they used to buy penny candy.
She said.
The Salvation Army, West
Pittston held a memorial ser-
vice for Corporal Robert Ve-
netz, a decorated hero of the
Korean war, on the 40th anni-
versary of his death.
Venetz was killed in battle on
January 7, 1951, while deliver-
ing supplies to the front line.
Venetz was the first soldier
from Greater Pittston to be
officially listed as killed in
action in Korea.
He was one of 117 Luzerne
County residents to lose their
lives in that war.
The Mickey Noonan Chapter
of the Wyoming Valley Football
Officials awarded the Andy
Gulich Sportsman Award the
Wyoming Area football team
and its coaches.
Team captains John Nocito,
Ben Ladomirak, Marty Pepe
and Chris Sickle and head
coach Frank Parra agreed that
while winning is important,
playing fairly, honestly and
cleanly is paramount.
One of Coach Parras yearly
goals was to stress disciplined
attitudes from his coaches and
players.
According to the chapters
web site, the following message
is read by PIAA Officials to
Team Coaches and Captains
prior to each event:
PIAA requires all registered
sports officials to enforce the
sportsmanship rules for coach-
es and contestants.
Actions meant to demean
opposing players; team, specta-
tors and officials are not in the
highest ideals of interscholastic
education and will not be toler-
ated.
Let todays contest reflect
mutual respect.
Coaches please certify to the
umpire that your players are
legally equipped and uniformed
according to NFHS rules.
Good luck in todays contest.

West Wyoming High School
didnt produce a yearbook for its
first graduating class in 1934, so
senior Kathryn Kay Lamo-
reaux made her own.
That likely wasnt her intent
when she put together a scrap-
book of items associated with
her high school days, many of
which she made herself, but the
book does contain elements of a
traditional high school yearbook
such as photographs of the class
of 34 as sophomores in 1932 on
a class outing to Springbrook, a
picture of the entire class as se-
niors, senior photos of my pals
Lydia and Anita, and Kay with
the school principal, Mr. Ro-
berts. Hes wearing knickers, a
sweater and tie.
.There is a page dedicated to
the class trip to Washington
D.C.. Mounted on it is an adver-
tisingflyer for The NewColonial
Hotel at 15th and M Streets
where the class stayed, twoFrank
Martz Coach Company Souve-
nir Coupons and two New Colo-
nial Hotel Dining Room cards.
The Martz coupons and dining
cards are signed by Kay and her
boyfriend Abner Jackson. Also
among the class trip items is a
Western Union telegram, still in
its envelope, addressed to the
class at the hotel fromEdward F.
Byerly reading: Hope you are
having a fine time and I wish I
were with you.
Programs from the junior,
Lookin Lovely, and senior,
All a Mistake, class plays, re-
main in near mint condition.
There are tickets to school
dances featuring live bands like
the Kit Kat Club Orchestra and
the Revellers. The tickets were
priced 15, 20 and 25 cents.
Tickets for two raffles for se-
nior class fund raisers also sur-
vive in the scrapbook. The first,
second and third prizes for the
February raffle were a 10-pound
ham, a bushel of potatoes and a
pair of roller pigeons. The May
raffle offered only one prize a
live pig.
The scrapbook reveals foot-
ball was an important part of
high school life in 1934. Scores
fromthe schools football games
are written on 2 by 4 rectangles
of construction paper decorated
with miniature cut out pennants
or footballs. Also found are a
duo-fold football schedule and a
25 cent ticket to a benefit game
between Shickshinny and
Wyoming on Saturday, Decem-
ber 5, 1931 for the needy in our
community.
A cool bit of memorabilia
found are 3 by 2 cellophane
bags of toothpicks from the Pig
Barbeque mounted on one of the
football pages. Kay noted when
she got the toothpicks, using
Abners nickname she wrote
After Kingston with Abie un-
der one and After show with
Abie after another.
Kay continued to collect stuff
associated with her high school
days after she andAbner married
and moved to New Jersey.
Theres a letter, still in its enve-
lope, fromAntony Agati inviting
Kay and Abner to the 20th year
reunion at the Mayfair Supper
Club on June 19, 1954. The cost
was $15 per couple.
It seems Kay and Abner we-
rent the only members of the
West Wyoming Class of 1934
who revered their high school
days. Agatis letter reads: It
looks very much like we will
have 100% attendance. There
were 53 students in the class.
There is another item in the
book related to a reunion. Its
Kays Dance Card, with tiny pen-
cil still attached, from the West
Wyoming 1939 Junior Prom on
June 1, 1939. Kay filled out the
card for seven dances. Two were
reserved for Abner or Abie as
she wrote it, but she also gave
Bobby W., Curt, Al and Sam a
whirl.
Rosealie Eby -- who has pos-
session of the book and plans to
make a memory shadow box
from it theorizes that Kay and
Abner, who were married by
1939, probably came back for a
reunion in 39 and were asked to
chaperone the junior prom.
Eby, who attended West
Wyoming High School but
transferred before graduating, is
impressed by Kays book. She
threw herself into it, Eby said.
They didnt have a lot then and
she really cared about the school
and her friends and her boy-
friend.
Eby got the book from Bob
Nardone, a 1964 West Wyoming
graduate, who acquired the book
from Kay in 1999 while re-
searching a self-published book
on West Wyoming High School.
The scrapbook was displayed
at West Wyoming grand re-
unions in 2005 and again in
2007.
Abner Abie Jackson and
Kay Lamoreaux Jackson mar-
ried shortly after high school and
spent 75 plus years together. She
lived to age 93. She died in 2009
in Florida. Her husband Abie
is 95.

Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and

Also on the program Tuesday
night was State Sen. John Blake
who will begin representing
most of Greater Pittston later this
month, again due to redistrict-
ing.
He will assume representation
of several local communities for-
merly served by Sen. John Yud-
ichak. Blake had already been
serving Duryea, Avoca and Du-
pont and said he has worked
closely with Carroll on several
projects.
Holden heard two different
stories at the respective libraries.
At Pittston Library, meeting
with director Anne Hogya and
board President Barbara Quinn,
he saw plans for an expansion
project and learned about the
collection of books and memor-
abilia, along with a $50,000 do-
nation from John P. Cosgrove, a
Pittston native who spent 70
years working in the media in
Washington, D.C.

At West Pittston, Holden

moving back in by the end of the
month.
Panzitta told the congressman
the library had $500,000 worth
of damage and $125,000 worth
of insurance.
Holden asked for details about
funds appliedfor fromthe Feder-
al Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and said he
was optimistic the library would
receive funding.
Before leaving West Pittston,
Holden stopped at the Warren
Street home of Bill and Nora
Burke to viewflood damage and
observe recovery efforts. The
Burkes main floor has only
studs for walls providing a stark
example of the devastation
throughout the borough. Still,
conversation between Burke and
Holden quickly turned from the
flood to Notre Dame football, a
passion of each.
Holden also stopped at the
Susquehanna Avenue home of
Rev. Dr. John and Inge Markar-
ian where he viewed photos tak-
en just after the flood and exam-
ined progress made since.
There, Markarian presented
the congressman with an auto-
graphed copy of his book The
Thirsty Enemy, a memoir with
several chapters devoted to the
seven years of civil war he and
his wife witnessed first hand in
Beirut, Lebanon, where Markar-
ian was president of Haigazian
University.
At Open Space on South Main
Street Tuesday night, Holden
and Blake were told that the Bo-
den company, British manufac-
turers of high-end clothing, op-
erates an outlet there on week-
ends and the traffic has been
such that The Coffeetable, a
small eatery next door, tripled its
business the first day the outlet
was in operation.
Thats just one example of the
good things happening in Pitt-
ston, Lombardo said.
At the end of his presentation,
Lombardo told the visitors, All
of these projects are on the draw-
ing board, none are just wishful
thinking. In the next 18 months,
$25 to $30 million of construc-
tion will be underway in the
city.
Carroll told the congressman,
A lot of these projects require
augmentation of funds from
Harrisburg and Washington,
and that as elected officials we
are expected by these communi-
ties to be partners in their devel-
opment plans.
He added, Congressman, you
are going to enjoy greatly repre-
senting the people of these com-
munities.
Blake, who pointed out that
despite 40years of public service
he has been an elected official
onlyone year, saidCong. Holden
is quite familiar with the chal-
lenges and needs of the local
communities, adding, We are
very, very, very fortunate to have
the representation of Tim Hold-
en.
Blake also said he has enjoyed
working with Carroll and appre-
ciates the help Carroll has given
him.
Holden closed the evening by
saying all he had experienced
throughout the day was very
impressive.
If I doget the honor andprivi-
lege of representing you in the
newly configured 17th Congres-
sional district, he told the gath-
ering of about 50, I promise you
I will workfor communitydevel-
opment. Youll be tired of seeing
me.

A federal judge has dismissed
Wyoming Area School Board
members from a lawsuit filed by
a janitor but allowed the suit to
continue against Superintendent
Ray Bernardi.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard
Caputo on Thursday ruled that
William Simmons has presented
sufficient evidence to allow his
claims of political retaliation
against Bernardi to go to trial but
found he had failed to meet the
burden of proof relating to indi-
vidual board members.
Simmons filed suit against
Bernardi and the board in 2010,
alleging he was subjected to a
hostile work environment be-
cause he had associated with Pa-
trick Pribula, who was an adver-
sary of Bernardi.
Simmons resigned from his
job in November 2007, but later
rescinded his resignation. He
was fired by the board in January
2008 after he failed to return to
work. He later won his job back
through arbitration.
In his lawsuit, Simmons al-
leged he was forced to resign due
to incorrigible working condi-
tions created by Bernardi. Sim-
mons alleged Bernardi, among
other things, had given him di-
rectives that were impossible to
complete, including a demand
that he spread 15 tons of mulch
on a playground field within on-
ly a week or two.
Bernardi has denied he retal-
iated against Simmons. But Ca-
puto said evidence presented by
Simmons was sufficient to call
into question the motivation for
Bernardis actions.
Caputo dismissed the counts
against the boardmembers, how-
ever, noting that Simmons had
made no specific allegations that
they directly participated in issu-
ing any of the directives handed
down by Bernardi.
WA board dismissed from suit

middle ear. If any of these exist,
the client will be referred to a
physician along with photos to
verify the problem.

There seems to be a trend on
the West Side these days.
Fall behind at halftime, get an
inspirational speech from the
coach in the locker room, and
battle back in the second half.
Only this time, the Wyoming
Area girls basketball team
couldnt battle all the way back
as they dropped a 33-30 decision
to Berwick in a Wyoming Valley
Conference Division II game on
Monday night at the Wyoming
Area Secondary Center.
Down eight at halftime, Head
Coach Ryan Kennedy said the
right things in the locker room,
and his team allowed just three
points in the third quarter to get
back into the game. However,
unlike the game against Moun-
tain Viewin the Pittston Holiday
Tournament, Wyoming Area fell
short.
It was a lot like that Mountain
Valley game, except we just
didnt win this one, Kennedy
said. We went into the locker
room at halftime and I just told
them, they had to believe they
were going to get back into this
game and they did. We held them
(Berwick) to just three points in
the third quarter
The game was far from an of-
fensive showcase, but both
teams showed flashes of great-
ness on defense. The Lady War-
riors forced eight Berwick turn-
overs in the third quarter when
they made their impressive 10-3
run to get within one point at 23-
22 heading into the final quarter.
The Lady Warriors third quar-
ter offense came from Serra
Degnan, Sara Radzwilka, and
Ashlee Blannett. Radzwilka hit
the key shot of the game for the
Warriors when she drilled a three
from way beyond the arc in the
corner to tie the game at 20-20.
Berwick responded with
three-point play of their own, a
bucket-plus-one to take a 23-20
lead with 1:46 remaining in the
third quarter. Degnan brought
the Lady Warriors to within one
at 23-22 when she squeezed her
way through Berwick defenders
to convert an acrobatic layup
with 1:00 left in the quarter.
The Bulldogs came out on a
mission in the fourth, especially
Allison Rinehimer. She extend-
ed the Bulldogs lead to 27-22 af-
ter two quick buckets. Berwick
added another bucket stretching
the lead to 29-22 early in the
quarter. Coach Kennedy called a
timeout to try and put some fire
in his team both defensively and
offensively.
It worked as Abby Thornton
ripped down an offensive board
and put it right back in the basket
to bring the Warriors within five
at 29-24. Rinehimer dampened
the spirits of the Lady Warriors
with a long two to extend the
Bulldogs lead back to seven at
31-24 with 5:40 remaining in the
game.
Blannett started the final
punch for the Lady Warriors
with a two-point bucket bringing
her team within 31-26 with just
less than five minutes remain-
ing. Thornton then hit two free
throws to bring the Warriors
within three with 2:23 remain-
ing.
Berwick earned their final two
points on free throws to give
them a 33-28 lead with 31.6 sec-
onds remaining. Blannett made
it a one possession game with a
mid range jumper with 14 sec-
onds left.
The Lady Warriors got the ball
one last time with a chance to tie
it. However, Radzwilka missed
the shot that would have tied the
game from the same exact spot
she hit from earlier in the game.
I was happy with the way we
played in the second half, Ken-
nedy said. We got the ball in the
hands of one our better shooters
at the end with an open look and
it just didnt fall. I was very hap-
py with out effort.
The Warriors (4-8 overall, 0-3
WVC-2) struggled from the line
going just 4-for-9 including 2-
for-7 in the first half. Kennedy
says the team works on free
throws every day in practice.
We work on free throws ev-
eryday, because we know how
important they are, Kennedy
said. I want Serra (Degnan) to
keep driving, because she draws

The Warriors owned the glass and were
lead by Abby Thornton who had 18
boards. Nicole Turner chipped in with
nine rebounds and four steals. Blannett
just missed the double-double with eight
rebounds and 10 points. Degnan was the
leading scorer with 11 points.
WA 38, Dallas 44
Sara Radzwilka scored all 10 of her
points in the second quarter when Wyom-
ing Area rallied to within one of the lead.
But the Lady Warriors could get no closer
as Dallas pulled out a 44-38 victory in a
WVCDivisionII game onThursdaynight
in Exeter.
WA trailed 14-9 after the first quarter,
but the Lady Warriors senior guard got
hot in the second period, sandwiching two
three-pointers around two twos to spur a
12-8 quarter to cut the Wyoming Area
deficit to 22-21 at halftime.
Dallas extended its lead to 34-32 in the
third quarter before pulling away in the fi-
nal stanza.
Serra Degnan led the Lady Warriors
with 11 points seven coming in the first
quarter. Ashlee Blannett added nine
points for Wyoming Area (4-9, 0-4) with
seven coming in the second half as she
went 5-for-6 from the free throw line.
PA 62, Coughlin 21
Pittston Area continued to roll in a 62-
21rout of Coughlin on Monday night in a
WVC Division I game in the Thomas R.
Kelly Gymnasium in Yatesville.
The Lady Patriots allowed just eight
first-half points, including only a free
throw in the opening quarter as they shot
out to a 22-1lead after the first eight min-
utes. PA extended its lead to 39-8 at in-
termission and cruised to the finish.
Grace ONeill scored a season-high 21
points to lead the Lady Patriots on the of-
fensive end of the floor. ONeill drilled
three triples and was perfect fromthe free
throw line.
Mia Hopkins added 17 points for Pitt-
ston Area (11-0, 3-0), and Allie Barber
and Kristen Fereck each added six points.
PA 48, Hazleton 38
Although its opponent is struggling
through its worse season in this century,
Pittston Area knewthat its game at Hazle-
ton Area would be another test in what has
been a perfect 2011-12 season.
So it was no surprise that the Lady Cou-
gars hung tough in its WVC Division I
battle withthe LadyPatriots. But PAcame
through with defense, holding Hazleton
Area to just six points in the final eight
minutes on its way to a 48-38 victory on
Thursday night in Hazleton.
Mia Hopkins once again led the Lady
Patriots on offense, and Grace ONeill
continued to deliver from downtown as
the dynamic duo combined for 30 of PAs
48 points.
Hopkins scored a game-high 18 points,
and ONeill drilled four three-pointers for
12 points.
Freshman Allie Barber also added 12
points for Pittston Area (12-0, 4-0).
OF 36, Valley View 38
In a first-place showdown for the Lack-
awanna League Division II lead, Old
Forge controlled much of its battle with
fellowdivisionunbeatenValleyView. But
for 8:20 of the second half, the Blue Dev-
ils went scoreless and could not come-
back against the host Cougars in a 38-36
loss on Monday night in the Cougars Den
in Archbald.
The back-and-fourth game saw Old
Forge take command when Taylor Ne-
metz banked in a baseline jumper to give
the Blue Devils an 8-6 lead with one min-
ute left in the opening period. Old Forge
led for the next 13:28 as five different
players scored during a16-10 run that saw
the Blue Devils take a 24-17 with 5:35 left
in the third quarter after Morgan Malia
scored four straight points to open the pe-
riod.
But Malias second basket would be the
Blue Devils last for the next 8:20 as the
Cougars went ona14-0runtotake a 32-24
lead with 6:20 left in the game.
Lauren Careys bucket and foul shot
stopped the run and got Old Forge back in
the game at 32-27 just six seconds later,
but the damage had already been done.
The Blue Devils did get the deficit to
just two points on three different occa-
sions, but in each instance Valley View
answered with free throws to keep Old
Forge at bay.
Rhyan Barnic led the Blue Devils with
11 points, including three three-pointers.
Carey and Tori Tansley each added seven
points for Old Forge (8-3, 3-1). Carey
chipped in with seven rebounds. Nemetz
scored four points, but added seven re-
bounds and seven assists.
OF 30, Dunmore 31
Old Forges record of futility against
District 2 power Dunmore continued in
gut-wrenching fashion as the Blue Devils
were nipped by the Lady Bucks, 31-30, in
a LL Division II matchup of once-beaten
teams on Thursday night in the Elio Ghi-
giarelli Gymnasium in Old Forge
The Blue Devils have not beaten Dun-
more in at least 20 years of action against
their fellow one-town school. And as in
the past few seasons, Old Forge came ev-
er-so-close to grabbing a victory.
Trailing for much of the game, the Blue
Devils fought back from a seven-point
deficit with 4:10 left in the game to tie the

The Bucks pulled away in the
third quarter as Matt Clark
scored 10 of his game-high 23
points during a 17-9 run in the
period.
Tomasetti finished with a
team-high 17 points and 11 re-
bounds for Old Forge (5-6, 1-4)
who fell under the .500 mark
for the first time since an open-
ing-game loss to Wyoming Ar-
ea to start the 2008-2009 sea-
son.
Dave Argust added seven
points, five rebounds and four
assist for the Blue Devils, and
Colin Carey and Bob Cipollina
chipped in with six points each.
OF 63, Valley View 64 (OT)
Old Forge surrendered a 15-
point lead early, then scratched
its way back to force overtime,
but the Blue Devils could not
come all the way back in a 64-
63 overtime loss to Valley
View in a Lackawanna League
Division II matchup on Tues-
day night in the Elio Ghigiarel-
li Gymnasium in Old Forge.
The Blue Devils raced out to
a 17-2 advantage after the first
eight minutes of action as J Ar-
gonish and Dave Argust each
went 3-for-3 from the floor for
12 points.
But the Cougars came right
back in the second quarter with
a 20-8 run to get within 25-22
at intermission as Old Forge
went cold from the field (3-
for-8) and turned the ball over
five times in the period.
Valley View continued its
run in the third quarter, with a
22-12 spurt to take the lead 44-
37 headed into the final stanza.
The Cougars extended its
lead to 52-42 with 5:08 left in
the game before the Blue Dev-
ils rallied to force overtime.
In the final five minutes of
regulation, Old Forge (5-5, 1-3)
outscored Valley View, 16-6, as
Argonish and Jake Manetti
each scored five points during
the run.
But it was Brian Tomasettis
fade away three-pointer from
the right side of the key that
tied the game with four sec-
onds left in the game that tied
the score at 58-58.
In the overtime, Old Forge
took a 59-58 lead on a Colin
Carey free throw, but Valley
View scored four straight be-
fore Jimmie Aversas baseline
jumper got the Blue Devils
within 62-61 with 1:18 remain-
ing.
The Cougars extended its
lead on a layup with less than
30 seconds left before Manetti
was fouled on a three-point try
from the left corner with .06
seconds remaining.
Manetti made the first two
free throws to get Old Forge
within 64-63, but had his third
attempt rattle of the front and
back rims. The Blue Devils had
a last gasp chance when Carey
secured the offensive rebound,
but his desperation 10 footer
went hard off the glass to end
the game.
Argonish finished with a ca-
reer-high 23 points. The senior
also added seven rebounds for
Old Forge.
Manetti added 13 points, six
rebounds and two assists for
the Blue Devils while Argust
scored a season-high 10 points
to go with seven assists. Toma-
setti chipped in with five
points, nine rebounds and four
assists.

hers, her mom said.

mom, Melissa Jadus, owner of

According to the organiza-
tions website, Locks of Love is a
public non-profit organization
that provides hairpieces to finan-
cially disadvantaged children in
the United States and Canada
under age 21 suffering from
long-termmedical hair loss from
any diagnosis. Most of the chil-
dren helped by Locks of Love
have lost their hair due to a med-
ical condition called alopecia ar-
eata, which has no known cause
or cure.
Melissa Jadus said that al-
though ten inches of hair is need-
ed for hairpieces, Locks of Love
accepts and appreciates any
length of ponytail to offset their
manufacturing costs.

Chucks Auction Service re-
cently held their 2011 Benefit
Tree Program.
Santas elves collected dona-
tions for the purchase of the tree
during the last several sales of
the year.
This year, Chucks Auction
Service sustained severe flood
damage with four feet of water.
The business re-opened two
weeks before the Benefit Tree
Program, so the elves were busi-
er than ever.
Even with this setback,
Chucks Auction service and
their customers gave generously
this year. CEO People Helping
People and the U.S. Marine
Corps Toys for Tots each re-
ceived $4,000 to help families
and children that were in need
this holiday season.
The Christmas tree was given
to a needy family who would not
otherwise have had one.
Despite flood, Chucks Auction Service makes Christmas donations
Left to right, representing Chuck's Auction Services, Customers, CEO and U.S. Marine Corps are Charmayne Medvec, Linda Lewis, Chuck's Auction Service; Dave
Ritter, CEO; Corporal Eric Kolp, Corporal Juan Torres, Don Santa Gross, Marlena Mohyla, Mike Presnal and Jared Morris.
Mrs. DeMicheles and Mrs. Bartolis first grade classes at Mont-
gomery Avenue school celebrated the holiday season by making ho-
liday houses. Each student was asked to make a house using his or
her creativity and imagination. The houses were made out of wood,
candy, cardboard, foil and Popsicle sticks. The houses were proudly
displayed outside of each teachers classroomfor the entire school to
enjoy. The houses were then donated to two area nursing homes for
others to enjoy.
Pictured is Mrs. Bartoli's first grade class. First row Dylan Slack, Brayden Strucke, Keevan Carey, Jase Matolonis, Carly Saranchuk,

First graders make holiday houses
Lindsey Sabol, of Exeter, and Louis Moriano, of Old Forge, re-
cently completed a weeklong mission trip to El Salvador to provide
eye care in villages throughout the country.
The two belong to SOSH, the Student Optometric Service to Hu-
manity, at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry.
For the past year the organization raised nearly $24,000 to offset
the cost of the trip.
While in El Salvador, they worked alongside 15 other students,
two doctors and three translators to provide glasses and medications
to patients, as well as make necessary referrals.
The group saw approximately 700 patients during that week and
traveled with the Comandos de-Salvamento, an organization similar
to the Red Cross.
Both students are on clinical rotations and will graduate in May
2013.
