You say you want a revolution?

For months we’ve watched
revolutions in North Africa.
The past couple of weeks I
witnessed one in a hallway at
the community college.
The story begins about two
years ago with a zebra – actual-
ly a graphic representation of a
zebra’s head – and a student
nicknamed Kitty. Elisha is her
real name. When she told me
everyone calls her Kitty she
added she didn’t know why. I
told her maybe I did. I said it
might be because I needed a
Kitty in my life. A former stu-
dent, a woman older than I who
had become a dear friend, had
died of cancer the summer
before. Her name was Caroline
but she too had gone by Kitty.
The “new” Kitty pronounced
she didn’t care for computers,
preferring to draw with pen or
pencil. Then she produced the
aforementioned zebra using a
program I had just taught her. It
was spectacular.
Part two of the assignment
was to add a message to the
design and Kitty, after filling
the background behind the
zebra’s head with a bar code –
like a zebra, a design in black
and white stripes – added the
words: Remember, you’re
unique. Just like everyone else.
I loved it, and raved about it,
and Kitty stuck it in the middle
of a bulletin board near the
computer lab where I teach and
that was how it all started.
Students, who at first stopped
to admire the zebra, began to
tack up work of their own. The
bulletin board hangs in a hall-
way utilized by most every
creative student at the commu-
nity college – graphic design
majors, advertising majors,
illustration majors, broadcast
majors, journalism majors –
and it seemed they had been
dying for a place to express
themselves. Almost overnight,
the bulletin board exploded
with creativity. It soon was
laden with drawings, designs,
photographs, essays, poems.
You could not walk by without
stopping to take it in. Kids
would sit on the floor in the
hallway for hours trying to
absorb everything before them.
There was an unwritten rule
about the bulletin board that
anything hung there had a right
to be there. It was the original
no-judgment-zone.
That’s why I was taken aback
when, while teaching recently,
out of the corner of my eye I
spotted someone removing
things from the board. I ex-
cused myself from class and
approach him with, “What do
you think you’re doing?”
“Taking everything down,” he
said.
“You have no right to do
that,” I answered. “These things
are special.”
“I know,” he said. “I’m not
going to hurt them. But every
time I’ve hung something here
this year someone had ripped it
down, so I’m going to put all of
them in this garbage bag, hang
it on the bottom of the board,
and put up this sign.”
The sign read: If one goes
down, they all go down. It had
a big arrow pointing to the bag.
“I get it,” I said. “This is a
statement.”
He nodded as he continued to
work and I told him I was glad
he was going it. See, I too had
noticed a growing lack of re-
spect for the board. You’d see a
moustache drawn on a pho-
tograph or a wise crack scraw-
led next to a poem. What really
irked me was when in front of
the word “art” on the board,
someone scribbled an “f ”.
“Really?” I said to some
students. “Flatulence humor?
Does Shrek go to school here?”
I went back into my class-
room and told the students what
was happening in the hallway.
A young lady, who rarely says a
word in class, asked if she
could be excused for a moment.
I watched her approach the
bulletin board. By then, nothing
was left but the garbage bag of
art work and scattered push
pins.
She returned in a few min-
utes and after class I went to the
bulletin board and had to smile
as I saw she had arranged all of
the push pins to spell the word
“respect.”
Upon learning what had
happened, another student, a
journalist, produced a docu-
ment, a manifesto, of “rules”
for the bulletin board. He hung
it under the push-pin “respect.”
An art student read it and fash-
ioned a frame for it using grey
poster board.
Later, a pencil sketch of a
unicorn appeared. It looked
hungry. You could see its ribs.
Next to it, the artist wrote “Tell
me something.”
In less than 24 hours the
bulletin board was alive again.
I gathered some students in
front of it and told them the
whole story. When I mentioned
the push-pin word “respect,”
one of them said it didn’t spell
“respect” any more. I was about
to say, “Yes, it does,” when I
realized the pins had been rear-
ranged to spell “rebirth.”
There’s something new hung
up every day. Thursday after-
noon I noticed the latest addi-
tion – a zebra.

Members of the Wyoming Area soccer team show their creations which they will sell to aid earthquake/tsunami victims in Japan.
WA soccer team uses hands to aid Japan
Players and friends make 1000 origami cranes to sell to assist victims
By Matt Page
Dispatch Correspondent
O
n March 11, a 9.0 magni-
tude earthquake struck
off the coast of Japan.
Not only did the earthquake
cause destruction but the tsuna-
mi waves (reaching up to124 feet
high) that followed minutes later,
traveled up to six miles inland
and ravaged the island country.
After all was said and done,
13,591 people died, 4,916 were
injured and 14,497 people are re-
ported missing. Approximately
4.4 million households were left
without electricity and 1.5 mil-
lion without water.
The horrible events in Japan
caused first-year Wyoming Area
girls’ soccer coach Mike Pryor
to want to help in some way. Af-
ter some research, Pryor found
that an origami crane is a symbol
of hope in Japan and 1000 of
them makes a wish come true.
So Pryor and his soccer players
went to work.
“They say when you make
1000 origami cranes a person’s
wish comes true and it grants
happiness and health and peace,”
said Pryor.
Katie Scalzo, Kourtny Schwerdtman, and Sarah Mack work on origami cranes.
So Pryor organized an event,
calling it “1000 Cranes,” during
which his team as well as other
Wyoming Area students set out
to fold origami cranes and use
them to raise money to be given
to the American Red Cross to
aide in the Japan relief efforts.
On April 12, from 5 to 9 p.m.,
32 Wyoming Area students and
friends got together to design
and fold 1000 origami cranes to

sell for $1 each. It took them four
hours but they reached their goal
of 1000 origami cranes.
Creating an origami crane on-
ly requires a perfectly square
piece of paper, preferably origa-
mi paper, but takes approximate-
ly 20 small steps.
“One thousand origami cranes
is a pretty complicated process,”
Pryor said with a chuckle. “If
you’re pretty good at it you can
make an origami crane in 3-4
minutes. Needless to say, the
girls’ hands are a little bit tired
but luckily we don’t use them all
that much.”
Pryor, who is getting his MBA
at Wilkes University and is inter-
ested in developing projects for a
cause, is hoping that people oth-
er than the Wyoming Area soc-
cer team take his idea and run
with it.
“Seeing the situation in Japan
and how much help they need
over there, I’m trying to start this
movement where it doesn’t stop
with the Wyoming Area girls’
soccer team,” said Pryor. “Hope-
fully other teams and schools
and organizations find this inspi-

rational and organize their own
event.”
 Conviction in former veterinarian clinic case
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 17, 2011

By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
A criminal investigation that
began with a phone call to Pitt-
ston Township police a year ago
ended with conviction in a jury
trial last week in Luzerne County
Court when Patti Lynn Spicker-
man of Moscow was found
guilty of forgery and theft by un-
lawful taking.
The jury agreed after a two-
day trial before Judge Joseph
Augello that Spickerman stole
$3,107 from the Animal Emer-
gency Clinic of Wyoming Valley
and Referral Service while she
was the clinic’s business manag-
er. Sentencing is scheduled for
June 6.
Acting Pittston Township Po-
lice Chief Leonard Trotta, the
lead investigator of the case, said
it began on April 28, 2010 when
company president Christopher
Rappolt called township police homicide. I’ve been a cop 25 Referral Service, housed in the for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, saying

Trotta said Spickerman used The Animal Emergency and In October the company filed
Rappolt’s stamp to illegally au-
thorize checks she made out to
herself. She claimed the checks
were advances from Rappolt,
who denied authorizing any ad-
vances. Spickerman further said
she paid back the advances, Trot-
ta said.
Trotta said a computer pro-
gram, Intuit QuickBooks Small
Business Accounting Software,
helped solve the case.
“When we looked into the
QuickBooks we saw that when
she paid him for the advances,
she wrote checks from the gener-
al fund to herself to get the mon-
ey back,” he explained.
Trotta had high praise for the
district attorney’s assistant pros-
ecutor Jarrett Ferentino. “He did
an excellent job,” he said. “He

huge rage,” Danae said.
Danae said the city is helping
the downtown merchants. “They
are trying to create an atmo-
sphere here,” she said. “They are
all about helping us out, and the
other businesses. More restau-
rants are supposed to be opening
up and that helps everybody. The
more the merrier.”
One of the ways the city is
planning to help the CoffeeTable
and other restaurants is with
“sidewalk bump outs.” Under
Phase 2 of the Streetscape Pro-
ject sidewalks will be extend out
20 feet in certain locations to ac-
commodate outdoor dining and
ice cream eating.
Lost parking will be recap-
tured with diagonal parking be-
tween the bump outs.
The city also plans to make a
signaled crosswalk on Main
Street in the area of the Tomato
Festival lot.
Danae said people like to eat
ice cream outside on summer
nights. “That’s our dream, to see
a line out the door for ice cream.”
She’s right about people enjoy-
ing ice cream. CoffeeTable will
join other ice cream locations in
Greater Pittston including Sprin-
kles ’n’ Shakes on North Main
Street in the city, Carter’s drive-
in on Wyoming Avenue in Exe-
ter, Ben and George’s in Pittston
Township, and the legendary
Blue Ribbon on Exeter Avenue
in West Pittston, which serves lo-
cally made ice cream and has
been a popular year-round ice
cream stop for decades.

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 17, 2011

Last remaining school in Pittston City dates back to 1868
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Andrew Casper spent his en-
tire school career at St. Mary’s
Assumption grade school, but on
Monday the seventh grader
learned he will not get to gradu-
ate from the school his great-
great-great grandfather Henry
Baumeister founded in the 19th
Century.
On Monday in meetings at St.
Maria Goretti Church in Laflin,
first with invited pastors, princi-
pals, and teachers and then with
parent committees from the af-
fected schools, Scranton Dio-
cese Bishop Joseph Bambera an-
nounced that Assumption will be
one of four diocese grade
schools closing after this school
year.
Gate of Heaven School in Dal-
las, Sacred Heart School in Car-
bondale and Marian Catholic
School in Scranton are also on
the list.
Andrew Casper’s father Mark,
who has been the school’s boys’
basketball coach for 27 years,
said he was at the parent meet-
ing.
“The principals were told at
6:30, the committees at 7:30,” he
said. “There was a buzz in room
when we heard the announce-
ment, then when the doors
opened and the principals and
diocesan officials walked in you
could hear a pin drop.”
While Casper and other par-
ents and the teachers had some
inkling that changes were in the
offing they were surprised that
an unofficial spokesman for the
parents’ committee.
Geography and enrollment
were cited as reasons for the clo-
sure of St. Mary’s Assumption.
Holy Rosary in Duryea and
Wyoming Area Catholic in Exe-
ter are both within a few miles of
St. Mary’s.

main open was 225 and that the
school hadn’t met that number in
10 years. Right now the enroll-
ment is 142. St. Mary’s enroll-
ment in 2006 was 210.
Casper and other St. Mary’s
supporters believe there are two
main reasons for the enrollment
decline. One was the reassign-
ment of St. Mary’s pastor who
had been a passionate advocate
for the school. The other was the
first round of school closings,
which included Sts. Peter and
Paul grade school in Plains and
Seton Catholic high school in
Pittston, where traditionally
many St. Mary’s graduates went.
Casper said parents from Peter
and Paul told him they were ad-
“From fifth grade down the
numbers aren’t bad.”
Given the circumstances
Casper said he and the other par-
ents feel this way: “We didn’t go
out of business, we were put out
of business.”
Casper said he and the other
parents believe that with better
management at the diocesan lev-
el St. Mary’s and some of the
other grade schools could have
been saved.
Ironically the closure announ-
cement came just days before a
major fund raiser for the school
at the Mellow Theater in Scran-
ton. The fund raiser – a show by
world-renowned Elvis Presley
tribute artist Shawn Klush who is
a St. Mary’s alumnus – went on
last night as planned.
Casper said the show was not a
“doom and gloom event, but a
celebration of what was.”
Plans for an informal reunion
of St. Mary’s alumni are already
in motion. A Facebook posting
about such an event quickly had
more than 100 positive re-
sponses.

It was in 1868
that Henry Bau-
meister put bench-
es in the sacristy of
St. Mary’s As-
sumption Church
and became the
first teacher at what
was to become St.
Mary’s Assump-
tion School.
In 1877, the
members of the Sis-
ters of Christian
Charity, an order based in Ger-
many, came at St. Mary’s to teach
in the parish school. From 1878
until January 1885, all classes
were held in the sacristy behind
the old church then located on
William Street.
In January 1885, a new class-
room was added to the sacristy of
the church and St. Mary’s of the
Assumption School officially
opened with an enrollment of 70.
In October 1890, ground was
broken for a new school house
on the corner of Church and
Sand streets. The wooden frame
building was completed with the
first classes being held there in
September 1891.
The current school, a three-
story brick building, opened in
1925.
In 2009, St. Mary’s Assump-
tion School achieved Middle
States Accreditation through
2017.
The closing of St. Mary’s not
only means the end to Catholic
education in Pittston, it leaves
Pittston City without a school of
any kind within its borders. Pitt-
ston Area’s Martin Mattei cam-
pus is in Hughestown. Pittston
Area’s high school is in Yates-
ville.

Easter is Special-
It starts always on a Sunday,
A special occasion, always a
fun day.
To many people this is the
end of a forty day fast,
We held off from eating
goodies, our waste lines were
aghast.
Now one can enjoy treats in-
stead of fruits,
And once again fit into our
suits.
The temptations were many I
bet,
But see the results of dieting,
fewer pounds added – no need
to fret.
On this day our families
share their time,
To eat, drink, put on a couple
of pounds, it’s no crime.
Easter is special indeed,
When we get together to
reminisce, and feed.
Enjoy these times to be sure,
For memories are counted,
and each one is pure.

the city without a school.
That there will be no school in the city
may be more of a curiosity than a deter-
ment, but there is a ripple effect. The 142
students now enrolled there will have to
go somewhere.
Understandably, many of the parents of
the St. Mary’s students, and of Gate of
Heaven in Dallas which is also closing,
are wary of Catholic education. What if
the next Catholic school they and their
children choose closes next year, or the
year after that?
All that’s left are the public schools and
how many more students can the public
schools expect to take on when they are at
the same timing considering hiring freez-
es?
Both Pittston Area and Wyoming Area
are hoping to balance their budgets by not
replacing retiring teachers. Can they ex-
pect to do that if elementary and middle
school enrollment suddenly spikes?
We don’t have an answer, nor can we
think of an appropriate call to action.
A lot of people in Catholic schools cir-
cles, such as the parents and teachers,
speculate that the Diocese may be headed
down the road to ending Catholic schools
all together.
It’s not unthinkable when you consider
it wasn’t so long ago that parents regis-
tered their children for Catholic schools
right after they were born in order to guar-
antee the child a kindergarten spot five
years hence.
Certainly Catholic education is on a
downward spiral.
As with everything money is an issue.
More and more parents of Catholic school
kids are finding they can’t afford both
property taxes in the districts where they
live and tuition where they send their kids

Movin’ out Mary Ehret, MS, RD, LDN

Lately, a new routine has begun in the Middleton

By Kim Middleton

her teacher looked disappointed.

household and it has nothing to do with New Year’s
resolutions, because they’re long forgotten.
Every night, like some warped version of
Groundhog Day, our eight-year-old packs her Hel-
lo Kitty suitcase and announces she will be leaving.
It inevitably happens after either I, my husband, our
9-month-old, or dog has done something particu-
larly meant to torture her – like pointing out she
used the wrong punctuation on her spelling home-
work.
Whining, tantrums and general mayhem ensue.
Every night.
And she appears to have thought this out, pack-
ing necessities such as plastic Scooby toys, sea-
shells, and a pack of watermelon Bubbalicious.
She also realizes she’s going to have to hoof it
herself and has chosen a number of houses that are
within walking distance. Beware if you live in the
vicinity of Montgomery Avenue Elementary.
Not unlike Bill Murray, try as I may to handle
things differently every time, I get the same melo-
dramatic outcome. I’m not quite sure when this
stage of the terrible twos meets teenage angst be-
gan, but I think if we could harness it and use it
against our enemies, the United States could rule
the world.
It has no weakness – not grounding nor yelling.
Sticker charts and toy removal are useless. Even
lack of TV and iPods are powerless against it.
And since when did I lose “the look?” My fa-
ther’s look still works and I’m 29.
The only thing we can be grateful for is that this
only occurs within the walls of our home. In fact,
the same daughter who didn’t flinch when (at my
wit’s end) I began removing furniture from her
room, cried to me about an episode in school when
Disappointed?
Really?
I begged the woman at parent/teacher conferenc-
es to teach me that look. She denied knowing how
she did it. I think she is lying.
The other night, desperately clinging to sanity, I
asked Her Royal Highness to write down what she
was feeling – and she actually cooperated.
Sort of.
She became calm and quiet. It was the quietest
our house had been in days.
As a side note, I am just as guilty. Trust me, I
know what I sound like because the 9-month-old
has begun to mock me -- and she does a pretty good
impression.
Anyway, I was excited. This was progress. She
walked sedately into the room and asked if she
could read her (3 page) essay, titled “Why I Am
Going to Live with Mrs. Heck.”
It was a moving piece. Apparently, at our neigh-
bors house they NEVER yell, let you have your
own Golden Retriever puppy and eat Chinese food
every Tuesday and Wednesday.
Who knew?
I’m not sure if our neighbors realize how close
they came to claiming our child on their taxes that
night, but our 8-year-old finally decided that she
just might be able to tolerate us. She even wrote me
my own essay on how much she loves me.
I’ll be reading it during tomorrow night’s episode
when there is a meltdown over a loose tooth and she
starts singing The Grinch song and inserting my
name.
Or maybe I’ll move to Mrs. Heck’s. It’s Chinese
night, you know.
Healthy bunny treats
This time of year we are planning celebrations for holidays of East-
er and Passover.
Fortunately it is a time to reconnect with families and friends.
Unfortunately, it might be a time of excess calories and oh those
once a year bunny rabbit treats!
Want to make a difference this spring holiday and not gain any
extra pounds? Changing what we eat and moving our bodies more
can make a difference.
Research tells us that we gain a pound for every 3500 calories we
eat above and beyond what our body needs. So if we eat 250 less
calories and walk everyday for 30 minutes, or take two walks for 15
minutes, for seven days or one week, we have a good chance of losing
one pound of weight.
On another note, we know that over a million heart attacks occur
every year. One half U.S. citizens die each year as a result of those
heart attacks. Blood cholesterol is an important factor in determining
whether your risk affects your rate of blood cholesterol.
Taking steps to reduce your risks of heart disease includes both
choosing more heart friendly foods and increasing activity levels.
Increasing activity which means taking more steps in a day may
decreases blood pressure and improves the fitness of your heart blood
vessels. Being more active also reduces stress. Some ideas may be
walking, playing outdoors with your children or grandchildren, and
enjoying the outdoors together as a family.
Be choosey when selecting foods. Choose more of foods with
some nutritional value and less of empty calories.
For example, we have seen through research that dark chocolate
contains procyamdins, which are antioxidant flavonoids.
Choose chocolate that is at least 70% cacao which has some nutri-
tional value. This time of year there are a lot of chocolate bunnies for
sale. Look for bunnies that are darker in chocolate by reading the
ingredients on the back of the label.
Fill baskets with nuts like walnuts in place of other high fat snacks
like chips, and cheese curls. Walnuts have more nutritional value than
chips or high sodium cheese curls.
Here is one of my favorite candy recipes. It can be made in a jiffy

Members of the Pittston camp of
Spanish American War Veterans cele-
brated the 57th anniversary of the 1898
War against Spain. William Jimms,
Hughestown; Robert Fox, Fred
Schmaltz, David Williams, Thomas
Dobbie, William Francis and Charlie
Austin, of West Pittston; Thomas Bosh-
ard, Michael Fischer and James Con-
nell of Pittston, and Joseph Taylor,
Duryea, participated in a mustering-in
ceremony.
According to the web site www.pas-
panishamericanwar.com, the United
States declared war against Spain on
April 21, 1898 following the sinking of
the Battleship Maine in the Havana
harbor on February 15, 1898 and would
be the first fought overseas by the Unit-
ed States. Costing the United States
$250 million and 3,000 lives, most sol-
diers, at least 90%, perished from yellow
fever, typhoid fever and other infectious
diseases. Pennsylvania was one of the
largest contributors of men during the
war, with almost 17,000 serving in the
Pennsylvania Volunteers, and many
more in the Federal army and navy. One
local veteran reminisced about the food
served to soldiers saying, “Some of the
cans dated to the War Between the
States,” and “most of the guns we used
were old and obsolete.”
The former John Howley School in
the Houston Section of Pittston Town-
ship had new tenants. Closed in 1953,
the school remained vacant until the
Home Association of Pittston Township
VFW received the deed from Joseph
Mullen, president of the Pittston Town-
ship School Board. Michael Mecadon
Jr., president of the association, in turn
presented a check for $3,000 to the
school board. The VFW planned to
make the former school its headquarters
and a recreation center for children.
Captain Andy’s Showboat Minstrel
was scheduled for a Sunday night in
April sponsored by the St. Mark’s Holy
Name Society in Jenkins Township.
Billed as being the best minstrel ever,
director Joseph Gildea took on the
handling of the fast moving songs, danc-
companist; Mrs. James Conlon, cos-
tumes; Francis Horan, scenery; George
Conlon, lighting and Joseph Callahan,
orchestra, Leo Gildea and Jimmy Bone
and master of ceremonies, Edward

formers contributed to the highly antici-
pated event.
1965 – 46 Years Ago
Pittston City Patrolmen George Osh-
all and Dante LaFratte had their hands
full with two visiting New Jersey youths
under the influence of “medicine”. Both
boys engaged in a fight that ended with
their arrests and confinement, one in a
straight jacket.
The youths were released to their
families the next day, after being told by
the judge to avoid visiting Pittston again
warning them police will not allow the
youth of Pittston to be exposed to such
antics.
The Greater Pittston Business and
Professional Women’s Club announced
six Pittston young ladies as “Girls of the
Year.” Selected for their leadership and
academic abilities Angeline Borzell,
Nina Amato, Mildred Frusciante,
Nancy Starcavage, Sandra Carver,
Mary Louise Maughan, Gloria Mar-
cellini and Veronica Botyrius planned
to obtain jobs or continue their educa-
tion at local colleges after graduation.
The girls were selected for the honor by
their teachers.
Joel J. Shorin, president; Edward
Shorin, treasurer; and Joseph Shorin,
director, executives of Topps Chewing
Gum, Inc., along with architect John
Eriksen visited Pittston to finalize a
deal to build a $3,600,000 plant in Du-
ryea.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked local residents, “How
do you feel about the Topps plant locat-
ing in Greater Pittston?”
James Colarusso of Pittston said,
“This is the biggest shot in the arm Pitt-
ston ever had.”
Robert Linskey of Pittston said, “A
job well done by the three communities
involved.”
Frank Braccini of West Pittston add-
ed, “If this plant employs 600 people it
will mean many more jobs to supply the
plant.”
1975 – 36 Years Ago
Lichens, a combination of algae and
fungi were on the minds of the Pittston
Area Senior and Junior High class. Un-
der the direction of Jack Tetlak, Frank
Cebula and Ed Pupa, the students uti-
lized the Lichen Sensor Air Quality
Survey which originated in France and
England to measure air pollution in the
Wyoming Valley.
Lichen grows naturally on rocks, soil,
tree bark and coal piles, but does not
appear if pollutants such as sulfur diox-
ide exist in the area. Students kept re-
cords of the various lichens detected in a
30-meter plot of ground. According to
www.biology.usgs.gov, about 100 years
ago, lichens had disappeared from many
cities in Europe and Great Britain and
the term “lichen desert” was coined.
Some studies have shown lichen deserts
occurring in eastern Pennsylvania. If
anyone remembers participating in the
study, please call me at 602-0168.
Three area athletic coaches weighed
in the PIAA ruling making it legal for
males to try out and compete on female
athletic teams. The enacting of this addi-
tion to Title IX civil rights legislation
states "No person in the U.S. shall, on
the basis of sex be excluded from partic-
ipation in, or denied the benefits of, or
be subjected to discrimination under any
educational program or activity receiv-
ing federal aid" leveled the field for
males and females to participate in each
other’s sports. Sandy Chiampi, coach of
girl’s basketball at Wyoming area, Tho-
mas Finnerty, coach of the 1975 cham-
pionship girl’s basketball team at St.
John’s, and Sal Licata, PA girl’s swim
team coach all agreed that separation of
the genders was more conducive to high
school sports programs.
Renovation of The Avoca Borough
Building was a month away from com-
pletion when fire struck engulfing the
mayor’s office and conference room.
Damage was estimated at $25,000. Avo-
ca Mayor Joseph D. Hannon praised
the Avoca and Duryea firemen for ex-
tinguishing the fire quickly.
Brothers Neil and Jan Suchodolosky
of West Pittston couldn’t wait until 80 or
90-degree weather. With the temperature
just above 40 degrees, they donned wet
suits and knitted caps and enlisted Mike
Azaravich and Joe Moran of Pittston to
drive their boat, while they water-skied
down the Susquehanna.

Mae’s Raiders, retirees of the In-
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 17, 2011
ternational Ladies Garment Union, led
by Mae McHugh, took a break from
fundraising activities to attend a rally in
Harrisburg. The rally attended by 5,000
garment workers targeted the abundance
of clothing imports from China, Korea,
Hong Kong and Japan flooding the US
market. The Greater Pittston contingent
numbered about 300. Joining the retirees
were workers from J.L. Inc, Port Blan-
chard and Corner Fashions, West
Wyoming. Lois Hartel, district manager
of the ILGWU, said she’d seen about
500 union members lose their jobs and
100 factories go out of business.
Mae’s Raiders participated in volun-
teer work at local hospitals, nursing
homes and blood bank. Officers of the
club were Albina Ambrose, Mary
Hoover, Lena Gregori, Mary DeMar-
tino and Joe Hoover.

gram at Camp Ladore.
Summer camp dates are June
22-27, July 8-16, and August
3-8.
“It’s an experience not to be
missed,” observes Wilkes-Barre
Salvation Army Captain Patty
Richwine. “Time spent at camp
can be a life-changing experi-
ence for kids. We are so grateful
to our friends who sponsored
these children.”
Last summer, 34 children
from the area went to a weeklong
camp where they played sports,
swam, explored the outdoors and
made crafts.
Children ages 7-17 can have
the opportunity to attend The
Salvation Army camp at Camp
Ladore in Waymart. The camp is
owned and operated by The Sal-
vation Army and consists of
1,200 acres of land surrounding a
265 acre lake.
Programs contribute to the
spiritual, educational, social, and
recreational needs of every
camp. Transportation is provid-
ed to and from camp. Scholar-
ships are based on need, with
proper paperwork completed
two weeks before camp.
“School will be ending soon,”
Captain Richwine points out.
“For some kids, going to Camp
Ladore is the highlight of the
whole summer.”
Parents interested in sending
their children to summer camp
should register at The Salvation
Army, 17 S. Pennsylvania Ave-
nue, Wilkes-Barre.
For more information, contact
The Salvation Army at 570-824-
8741.

wo women who started volunteering their services at the Pitt-
ston Memorial Library when it was located on the second
floor and later in the basement of City Hall and guided it
through its location in a brand new building ten years ago were hon-
ored Wednesday evening during National Library Week.
Eileen Burns and Ellen Mondlak, each of whom served 16 years on
the library’s Board of Trustees, each with a stint as president, re-
ceived the Jean Yates Award at the annual Jean Yates Award Banquet
at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church Hall.
The award is named in memory on Jean Yates, a former board
member, whose philanthropy made the new library possible.
At the dinner, Barbara Quinn, current board president, offered re-
marks and Mike Ostrowski, member of the board, served as toast-
master. The Jean Yates Awards were presented by Atty. Joseph Sapo-
rito, also a member of the board.
Eileen Burns shows off her award.

Call goes out for floats for Memorial Day Parade
Prize to be awarded for best patriotic float in West Pittston/Exeter parade
The annual West Pittston/Exe-
ter Memorial Day Parade will
have a new twist this year: a com-
petition for best patriotic-
themed float.
All area organizations, clubs,
businesses and even individuals
are invited to enter.
At a planning meeting, Ron
Gitkos, parade chairman, said
the idea for including a competi-
tion for best float originated with
Bob Orlando, or more precisely
his wife.
At the meeting, Orlando, rep-
resenting the Wyoming Area Ki-
wanis Club, explained that his
wife, Katie, recalled the elabo-
rate Memorial Day parades of
her youth in Sweet Valley when
the floats would be judged by a
panel and a prize awarded. Or-
lando brought the idea to Gitkos
and it took off from there.
Orlando said the WA Kiwanis
club will support the float com-
petition and help provide the
prize which will be a cash award
to the organization that wins, or
to the winner’s choice of a char-
ity should the winner be a busi-
ness or an individual.

The borough is encouraging
residents to recycle. This will not
only help the environment, but
lower the borough’s garbage ton-
nage totals thereby controlling
costs.

“We have a rule that no sirens
are allowed,” Gitkos said. “This
shows respect for the solemn na-
ture of Memorial Day.”
Those wishing to enter floats,
from service organizations,
youth groups, church groups, or
private businesses and individu-
als, may register by calling Butch
Simonson, commander of the
DePrimo Post, at 655-6258.
“All we ask is that the theme of
the float be in keeping with the
spirit of Memorial Day in honor-
ing our fallen heroes,” Gitkos
said. “We don’t want any com-
mercialization of the day.”
Others at the planning meeting
in addition to Gitkos, Simonson
and Orlando, were Jack Brogan,
commander of the Kalmanowicz
Post, who indicated the Exeter
VFW is also involved; Ron
Faust, treasurer, adjutant, and
service officer of the DePrimo
Post; and Ed Ackerman, editor
of the Sunday Dispatch.
“Every year the parade is
staged rain or shine,” Gitkos
added. “Those serving in Af-
ghanistan don’t take the day off if
it rains so we don’t either.”

awarded $241,114 in funding

Just call her Mary ‘Final’ Forr
Niece of Judge Tom Burke walked on to Notre Dame hoops team
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
Underdog non-scholarship player
walks on to the Notre Dame team and
makes the starting line up on Senior Day.
“Rudy”?
No, Mary Forr.
Forr is the niece of Luzerne County
Judge Tom Burke, who played basketball
and football at West Pittston high school
in the 1960s. Forr is the daughter of the
Judge’s sister, Patty Burke Forr, a 1965
graduate of West Pittston high school
where in the days before PIAA female
sports she was a majorette.
After three seasons of trying Forr made
the Notre Dame women’s basketball team
this year, just in time to make it to the Na-
tional Championship game, where Notre
Dame lost to Texas A&M.
Forr, 5-11, got in 20 games this season,
starting one. She averaged five minutes a
game and scored 20 points on 14-30
shooting.
Forr grew up in Altoona where she av-
eraged 17.0 points and 6.0 rebounds a
game in leading Bishop Guilfoyle to a
Class A Pennsylvania state title in 2007.
In a story about her in the South Bend
Tribune in March she said, “I had a picture
of the 2001 national championship team,
autographed, hanging in my room since
the sixth grade, and it hangs in my dorm
room, now. It’s always been the dream to
get here. I wrote a speech in the eighth
grade about how I wanted to play for
Notre Dame. It’s been a fairy tale for me.
It’s been great.”
Last week at the team’s banquet, Forr
received the team Spirit Award. She was
introduced by Coach McGraw as “a girl
who can’t stop smiling even when she’s on
the court.”
In her acceptance speech, Forr paid
tribute to her family, especially her sister
Marita, a Special Olympian whom Mary
described as the family’s real champion.
She also has a brother Tommy, a 2007
Notre Dame graduate. Her father is R.
Thomas Forr, Jr.
In a recent interview, Forr told the Dis-
patch about her basketball experiences.
What was it like growing up in
Altoona?
Sports
Mary Forr boxes out during a Notre Dame basketball game earlier this season. Forr
is the daughter of West Pittston native Patty Burke Forr, and the niece of Luzerne
County Judge Tom Burke.
A lot of fun. I lived in a neighborhood
with tons of kids. So, everyday we played
kickball, kick the can, flashlight tag, bas-
ketball, wiffleball, or football. When I got
to high school I went to such a small
school that everyone knew each other.
The community at Bishop Guilfoyle was
awesome. The teachers really cared about
the students.
What’s your best memory of winning
the state championship in high
school?
In the locker-room after the game ev-
eryone was crying because that was the
last game we would ever play together and
because we had accomplished a goal that
we had worked hard for since 5th grade. I
had played with most of the girls on my
team since at least 5th grade. It was so
PHOTO COURTESY OF MATT CASHORE
neat to accomplish a goal like that with
some of my closest friends.
What were your options out of high
school and how did you decide on ND?
I wasn’t really recruited for basketball
out of high school. A few schools showed
some interest, but I always knew I wanted
to go to Notre Dame. I was actually wait-
listed here though. I had accepted at Villa-
nova, but I kept working to get off the
wait-list. Countless people sent letters,
teachers helped me with new projects, ev-
eryone prayed, and on May 14 I was taken
off the wait-list.
Before making the team this season,
did you ever feel like giving up?
I thought of giving up a number of
times. It was tough to make the team. It
was tough to practice every day and feel
like it wasn’t getting me anywhere. My
family was always supportive though.
They always told me if I wanted to still
play they were cheering for me, and if I
wanted to be finished with basketball that
was ok too.
My friends here at Notre Dame always
helped me to stay positive. Guys that I
played pick-up with wrote letters to the
coaches asking if I could have a try-out.
The walk-on football players union, WO-
PU nation, was incredible through my en-
tire journey. I became close friends with
most of the walk-on football players, and
they would share their experiences of
walking on. That always gave me hope.
Lastly, I had one friend here at Notre
Dame who would absolutely not accept
me giving up. I think I needed someone to
push me like that. It helped me to believe
in myself.
What was your reaction when you
made the team this season?
When I made the team I was so over-
whelmed. I called my mom and my sister,
then my dad, then my brother. I cried dur-
ing each phone call.
How do you describe your role on the
team?
My role on the team was mostly in prac-
tice and on the scout team. I would pre-
tend to be one of the players on the oppos-
ing team and try to prepare our team for
the game. I would play as hard as I could
on every possession to try to make our
girls better and to make sure they were
prepared for the game. It was also my role
to make sure everyone stayed positive. I
tried to be encouraging all the time.
What was it like getting in a game the
first time and being announced as a
starter?
Well the first game was on my birthday.
Coach called my name and I ran to the
scorer’s table. While at the scorer’s table I
started crying. When I stepped on the
court I got the chills. I thought, “This is it!
This is what I worked for.” Then, the game
took over and any nervousness went com-
pletely away. It was awesome to play.
When I first heard I was starting, I once

the field on a warm and sunny day

shining brighter than the mid-

Offensive woes troubling Wyoming Area
Warriors have scored just six runs in four games
By Matt Petrini
Dispatch Correspondent
It seems every time Wyoming
Area made contact on Monday -
whether it was a deep fly ball, a
sharp grounder or a line drive -
the baseball would just not fall
for the Warriors.
Mustering only two hits on the
afternoon, Wyoming Area drop-
ped its fourth straight decision to
start the season during a 4-0 loss
to Berwick in a Wyoming Valley
Conference Division I West
game at the Atlas Sports Com-
plex in West Pittston.
“Hitting wise, I think we were
undisciplined. We been running
through some tough luck now
and it’s sort of effecting our atti-
tude,” WA Head Coach Chick
Andrewscavage said. “Their
pitcher lived on the outside and
we weren’t adjusting.”
With Warriors ace Dylan Mal-
oney on the hill, the Bulldogs
started off strong in the first.
TJ Lashock led off with a sharp
single to center, followed by a
bunt single by Jake Calovi. After
a Maloney strikeout, Dave Calovi
connected on a RBI-single to
right which chased home Lash-
ock from second, giving the Bull-
dogs an early 1-0 lead. Maloney
settled in and struck out the final
two to end the frame.
Berwick starter Ben Bower
worked quickly in the bottom
half, surrendering only one base
runner - an infield error off the
bat of leadoff hitter Ryan Carey.
After three consecutive fielder’s
choice outs, the Warriors were set
down in the first.
Berwick tacked on another in
the second when Steve Kuchka
reached on an infield single and
was dispatched home two batters
later on a RBI-single to right by
Lashock- who finished 4-for-4
for the Dawgs.
Senior Kody Nowicki started
off the second with a sharp liner
to center for the Warriors. Now-
icki then swiped second base and
moved to third after a ground out.
Unfortunately as lady luck would
have it, Bower induced a ground
ball out, stranding Nowicki at
third and ending the WA scoring
threat.
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, APRIL 17, 2011
VA R S I T Y B A S E B A L L
More trouble doomed the War-
riors in the third as Berwick
tacked on two more runs, thanks
to a two-run RBI-double by Tyler
Soboleski.
From there, Maloney took
over. The junior dominated the
rest of the way, silencing the Bull-
dogs bats in surrendering only
two hits through the final four in-
nings.
“Maloney is our No. 1. He is a
great fielder and brings a lot of at-
titude to the game,” Andrewscav-
age started. “We’re hoping he
takes a bigger lead to our team.”
Even behind a great pitching
performance from Maloney,
Bower was just as dominant, set-
ting down the 12 of the final 14
Warriors he faced for the com-
plete game victory.
Trent Grove registered the only
extra base hit for the Warriors, a
double in seventh.
Maloney took the loss, scatter-
ing eight hits, walking three
while fanning nine in seven in-
nings.
WA 3, Dallas 5
Wyoming Area lost its home-
opener by the exact same score as
its regular-season opener, 5-3,
this time to Dallas, last Saturday
afternoon at the Atlas Sports

well enough to win, but the Warriors are having trouble scoring runs this year. The Warriors fell behind 3-0
PHOTOS BY BILL TARUTIS before scoring single runs in the
bottom of the second and fourth
to get within 3-2 before the
Mountaineers answered with one
in the top of the fifth to extend its
lead to 4-2.
Wyoming Area (0-4) added a
run in its half of the fifth to get
within 4-3, but Dallas scored
again in the sixth and held the
Warriors in check the rest of the
way.
Dylan Maloney led the WA of-
fense with three hits, including an
RBI double and a solo homer. PJ
Bone added two hits, including a
double for the Warriors, and
Ryan Carey singled twice from
his leadoff spot.
Ron Klepadlo was the tough-

debut, allowing just four runs

Lady Patriots beat WA

into the left side of the net to cut
the Pittston Area lead to 3-2.
"It’s not me. It’s the players out
there. They’re the ones doing the
work. I’m just trying to put them
in position to find success and
mainly enjoy it, too," said Pryor.
"Scoring goals is fun so obvious-
ly (Scalzo) enjoys going up top."
As the final seconds ticked
away, Wyoming Area had one last
chance to tie the game as the ball
found its way to the always-dan-
gerous Scalzo who was about 20
yards from the goal. She blasted a
final attempt but the ball bent
wide of the goal and Pittston Area
was able to breathe a sigh of relief
as he captured its first victory of
the season.
"We just wanted to make sure
we played like a team, work the
ball around and move the ball
from the mid to the wings to the
front and always looking for that
extra pass or for that open girl,"
said Tieso. "They seemed to
mesh very well."
Pittston Area’s Cumbo had
nine saves in the net while her
counterpart Yurek recorded
eight.
The Lady Patriots recorded 11
shots on goal as did Wyoming
Area.
PA 0, Tunkhannock 2
One day after its offense came
out of its winter hibernation, Pitt-
ston Area failed to find the back
of the net in a 2-0 loss to Tunk-
hannock on the road Friday in a
WVC Division 2 Crossover.
The Lady Patriots allowed one
goal in each half as the Lady Ti-
gers offense peppered PA keeper
Jordan Combo with 25 shots. The
sophomore was credited with
eight saves between the pipes.
In turn, Pittston Area managed
just five shots on goal against
Tunkhannock with zero corner
kicks.
WA 2, Hanover 2
Despite goals from Jenn Bone
and Jenna Skrinak, Wyoming Ar-
ea settled for a 2-2 overtime tie
with Hanover in a WVC Division
2 Crossover on Friday afternoon
in Wyoming.
Bone scored on an assist from
Katie Scalzo to tie the score at 1-1
late in the first half, and Skrinak
then scored unassisted10 minutes
into the second half to give the
PAGE 56
Lady Warriors a 2-1 lead.
But the Lady Hawkeyes came
back and knotted the game at 2-2
with 20 minutes left in the game.
Both teams played the remain-
ing 40 minutes without a goal re-
sulting in a tie.
Wyoming Area (1-2-1) outshot
Hanover, 26-17, with six corners.
Caitlin Vitale stopped 17 shots in
goal for the Lady Warriors.

Lakeland took a 3-2 lead in the
top of the third, but Old Forge tied
the score in its half of the inning
when Chelsea Cadwalder singled
in Alsalahat who had singled to
lead off the inning.
The Lady Chiefs retook the
lead in the fourth when they man-
ufactured a run on an infield sin-
gle and a single to center by Dana
Prudente.
Alsalahat finished 4-for-4 on
the night with three runs scored
and five RBI for Old Forge, and
Marianelli and Nemetz both
came up with two hits for the
Blue Devils.
Kim Regan fought off a bit of
wildness to pick up her second
win of the season. The junior al-

seven hits while walking four. Re-
gan also struck out eight, includ-

Old Forge suffered its most
lopsided defeat in over a decade,

to Holy Cross on Tuesday night at
the Old Forge Miles Street Com-
munity Park.
The Blue Devils led 3-2 enter-
ing the fifth inning, but the Lady
Crusaders would send 24 batters
to the plate as they batted around
in both the fifth and six innings to
invoke the 10-run rule. Two Old
Forge pitchers allowed10 hits and
issued seven walks during the on-
slaught.
Chelsea Cadwalder drove in
two runs for the Blue Devils with

Old Forge’s Kim Regan was
equal to the task, allowing only

Marissa Nardone Alex Holtz Chris Talipski

PA Softball WA Softball OF Baseball

Marissa Nardone is one of the most feared hit-
ters in the Wyoming Valley Conference, and she
showed why in Pittston Area’s first game of the
season.
Nardone smacked two hits and drove in the La-
dy Patriots only run in a loss against league pow-
erhouse Nanticoke.
For her effort, Marissa has been named The
Sunday Dispatch Pittston Area Athlete of the
Week for the week April 3-9.
Nardone had two singles with her sixth-inning
smash driving in a PA run.
Posters of Marissa can be seen at Tony’s Pizza
in Pittston, and Smart Designs and Graphics in

of the Week.
Alex Holtz made her debut as Wyoming Area’s No. 1
pitcher a memorable one as the sophomore smacked three
hits and earned the win as the Lady Warriors opened their
season with a win over Valley West.
Holtz earned the complete-game win on the mound, and
went 3-for-3 at the plate in the 4-1 victory over the Lady
Spartans.
For her effort, Alex has been named The Sunday Dis-
patch Wyoming Area Athlete of the Week for the week
April 3-9.
Holtz pitched seven innings of two-hit ball while striking
out seven and walking three while allowing the one earned
run. She also added three singles in aiding the WA offense.

He may have opened the season as the ninth hitter in the
Old Forge lineup, but that doesn’t mean Chris Talipski is
an easy out by any means.
The Blue Devils junior left fielder showed why in a 3-
for-3 day at the plate which included the game-winning
RBI as Old Forge gave Manager Tony DiMattia his first
career victory.
For his effort, Chris has been named The Sunday Dis-
patch Old Forge Athlete of the Week for the week April
3-9.
Talipski had two singles, a double and a run scored, but it
was his seventh-inning sacrifice fly that pushed the game-
winning run across the plate in a 5-4 win over Holy Cross.

THE BRIDGE

Only playoffs matchups could take

The Bridge away from Pittston Area
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
Barring any playoff matchups or un-
scheduled exhibition meets between Pitt-
ston Area and Wyoming Area, the Patriots
have seemingly clinched The Bridge for the
fifth consecutive school year.
Pittston Area led by five coming into the
winter season and in an anti-climatic fash-
ond consecutive season.
It also hurt the Warriors chances when
the Track & Field teams, which usually
meet in an exhibition match in late March,
did not schedule each other.
Wyoming Area cut its deficit to four with
a Boys’ Tennis win, but the Lady Patriots
pushed their school’s lead back to five with
an exciting 3-2 soccer win this past week at
more with the annual Ashby Baseball
Game set to be played on April 25, and the
softball game to be played on the following
day, April 26.
The Warriors would need to sweep the fi-
nal two meetings and hope for playoff
matchups in soccer, baseball and softball –
which are all possibilities.

Old Forge juniors donate $2,000 to American Cancer Society

Three juniors at Old Forge High School, Mia Sallavanti, Brittany Baron,
and Nina Grippo have recently raised $2,000 to benefit the American Can-
cer Society. They participated in Daffodil Days by selling daffodils at
school and creating a Wall of Hope outside of their vice principal’s office.
Their vice principal, Regina Krieger is a cancer survivor.
Many students and teachers purchased donation cards that formed the
Wall of Hope. Each day the girls sold daffodils and donation cards during
their lunch period for two weeks. Each of the girls has a family member that
was affected by cancer and they all thought that raising money to help find a
cure for cancer would be a great idea for their senior project.
This project was especially important for Mia because her grandfather,
Robert Semenza was diagnosed with Stomach Cancer in September of
2009. It was shocking and very scary to her whole family. Because of cancer
research and treatment, her grandfather is currently a cancer survivor. Ni-
na’s grandfather, Vito Gallo, died of Colon Cancer in July of 1997. Britta-
ny’s aunt, Jean (Balzano) Collier, is a breast cancer survivor. We all were
touched by cancer in some way, and wanted to contribute to this organiza-
tion to help cancer patients and to help cure cancer. We hope that we can
pass this senior project on each year at Old Forge High School to raise more
money for the American Cancer Society.

Wilkes to hold ‘Women Empowered by Science’ summer camp

Robotics, genetics, and endan-
gered species are just a few of the
subjects being explored at the
annual Howard Hughes Medical
Institute – Women Empowered
by Science Summer Camp at
Wilkes University. The HHMI-
WEBS Summer Camp will run
from July 25 to August 5 and is
open to young women entering
grades 7 or 8. The girls will
spend each day from 8:30 a.m. to
3:30 p.m. participating in a va-
riety of labs and field trips fund-
ed by a grant from the Howard
Hughes Medical Institute.
The HHMI-WEBS camp is
designed to encourage girls’ in-
terest in studying science and
pursuing careers in science
fields. Participants gain hands-
on experience in a variety of sub-
jects through two different labo-
ratories each day. Topics ex-
plored will include ecology, biol-
ogy, chemistry, physics, comput-
er science, genetics and
endangered species.
Girls will have the opportunity
to meet and have lunch with pro-
fessional women from the scien-
tific community who will share
their expertise through lively dis-
cussion. Campers are asked to
bring a brown bag lunch. Drinks
and snacks will be provided
throughout the day.
Parents are encouraged to reg-
ister their student for the full
two-week camp to receive maxi-
mum benefit from the program.
Space is limited and enrollment
is on a first-come, first-served
basis. Tuition for two weeks is
$300. Scholarships based on fi-
nancial need are available. The
registration deadline is May 13,
2011.
The Women Empowered by
Science (WEBS) program began
in 2003 as an after-school pro-
gram when a parent at Wyoming
Seminary asked Wilkes Univer-
sity to develop a program to
stimulate girls’ interest in sci-
ence. The after-school program
has grown to include students
from many Luzerne County
schools. The summer camp pro-
gram is an extension of that pro-
gram and was started in the sum-
mer of 2009.

WEBS Summer Camp, contact

Senior Sentiments
The two-week deadline has arrived. The fear of mass memoriz-
ation, hours of late night cramming, and—perhaps the most frighten-
ing--blanking out has entered the minds of a multitude of dedicated
students vying against themselves and time for precious college cred-
    
   
its. What fiendish scholastic task am I speaking of, you might ask?
The AP tests, of course!
We have come this far, AP seniors, but the best (and the test) has yet
to come. Now is not the time for burnouts and lackadaisical attitudes.
In the next two weeks, you must ask yourself to prove your worth.
Sure, you’ve survived those advanced classes thus far. You have con- "- '"+$ ), +#",- (! *,- "&$&" "-.*+%
quered eight-chapter exams and DBQs about American eras that
most have never heard of; you have triumphed over chemical formu-
las that many would dub a foreign language; you have calculated and
cracked the code that is calculus. But now is the time to put all your
effort and commitment to the test.
The AP test is only as daunting as you make it out to be. And
though this might jitter your nerves a bit, it must be said: How you
spend these next two weeks is critical to your success or failure on
this test. A solid ten days of refreshing your memory will be much
more valuable than ten days of lazing around your house. So use your
time wisely, do not doubt what you already know, and never deny
your gut instincts. Those college credits will be yours soon enough.
History Bowl
Best of luck to the Wyoming Area History Bowl teams, who are
competing at the National History Bowl in Washington, D.C. Team A
is composed of Samantha Scott, Debbie Gross, Michael DeAngelo,
