SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2011

Ed Ackerman, optimist

See you Thursday night … and bring cash

In his 1994 best-seller “Mid-
night in the Garden of Good
and Evil,” author John Berendt
says this about the state of Ge-
orgia:
If you go to Atlanta, Georgia,
they’ll ask you: what do you do
for a living?
If you go to Macon, Georgia,
they’ll ask you: what church do
you go to?
But if you go to Savannah,
Georgia, they’ll ask you:
what’ll you have to drink?
With two kids who graduated
from the Savannah College of
Art & Design, I can speak from
experience that he’s absolutely
correct on that last one. My
wife and I have spent a lot of
time in Savannah over the past
ten years and we can attest that
Savannahians epitomize “south-
ern hospitality.” Indeed, Savan-
nah’s nickname is “The Hostess
City.”
All of this appealed to me not
so much because I am a drinker
but because I am a natural born
host. I love making people
comfortable. I love asking,
“What’ll you have to drink.”
I keep a stocked fridge in my
office at the college and noth-
ing tickles me more than giving
a student a bottle of water or a
can of soda and saving them a
buck-and-a-half from the vend-
ing machine.
There’s always a dish of
candy in the office, too, and a
file drawer packed with pack-
ages of peanut butter crackers.
The candy dish often comes
along to class with me. If noth-
ing else, it’s a positive influence
on attendance.
I like my job but as do many
of you, I would imagine, I often
dream about what else I could
have done with my life. I would
have made a good psychologist,
I sometimes think. Or perhaps a
philosopher. I’m sure I would
have majored in that in college
if I had any inkling of how to
turn it into a paycheck. And
then there’s the priesthood. Oh,
what a priest I would have been
… if, of course, I didn’t fancy
the ladies so.
Then I come back to reality
and inevitably say to myself,
wait a minute, I teach at a com-
munity college, I’m all three of
those things.
And a fourth, too, if you
consider the fridge, the candy
and the crackers.
In that sense, I’m a bartender.
And – you know what? –
bartending is the one career I
might have enjoyed better than
any.
Well, like the would-be NAS-
CAR driver who finally gets
behind the wheel of a stock car,
or the urban cowboy who final-
ly climbs up on a horse, come
Thursday night, I’m finally
going to find myself behind a
bar.
I’m one of a group of “celeb-
rity” bartenders lined up to
serve customers at Mr. Tony’s –
that’s Tony Stella’s new martini
bar – on the corner of Main and
Union streets, in Wilkes-Barre.
I believe that used to be the
Grog Shoppe back in the day.
The event is a fundraiser for
the Association for the Blind.
I’m not sure of the particulars
but the way these things usually
go, customers pay for their
drinks and whatever tips the
“celebrities” generate go to the
cause. The hope is that the
“celebrities” can entice their
friends to show up and swell
the coffers.
The organizers, in this case
my friends Tom Robinson and
Bobbi Steever, try to make it a
competition to see who can
bring in the most money. So, I
suppose some of the others –
the more competitive ones –
have been on their phones or
using their Facebook accounts
to get the word out. I refuse to
stoop to such measures.
Did I mention that I will be
on duty from 8:30 to 9 p.m.?
Well, I will.
On Thursday, May 5.
Just sayin’.
One of the other celebrities
you may recognize as a guy
I’ve written about before. It’s
Atty. Michael Ferrence. I once
worked out an event at Lacka-
wanna County Stadium where
Mike got to throw out the first
pitch at a Red Barons baseball
game. That was pretty cool
because Mike is blind.
I’m not sure how Mike is
going to handle pouring drinks,
but that night at the ballpark he
put one right over the plate, so
don’t underestimate him.
On the other hand, I, myself,
must admit I’m a bit apprehen-
sive about the whole thing. See,
I don’t know how to pour any
drinks other than wine or beer.
Mary Kay asked me if when I
think about being a bartender I
picture myself as Tom Cruise in
the movie “Cocktail” juggling
bottles of rum and vodka while
groovin’ to the music.
Hardly. I told her I picture
myself as Jackie Gleason doing
his “Joe the Bartender” bit. I
can still see him sticking his
index finger in every glass of
beer to keep it from foaming
over the top.
I’m perfectly willing to pro-
vide that extra touch Thursday
night, by the way. But only if
you ask me. And only for big
tippers.

Paving the way for a smoother ride
City lists paving projects; one on James Street already completed
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
W
hen the heck are they
going to pave the
damn streets?
For a good chunk of Pittston
the answer is this spring and
summer. In fact work has already
started. The American Water
Company paved James Street
from Curran Street to the Dead
End.
City manager Joe Moskovitz
said the city feels the residents’
pain.
“City officials are very sensi-
tive to the inconvenience the
sewer project has had on all of
our residents and especially our
residents in the Broad Street cor-
ridor,” he said.
Right now Popple Construc-
tion, the city’s sewer project con-
tractor, is finishing up the curb-
ing along Broad Street and
trench restoration on Broad
should begin in the next week or
so.
Popple has to permanently re-
store the trenches on Broad be-
fore the PennDOT contractor
can do curb cuts and handicap
ramps, Moskovitz explained.
Following the curb cuts and
handicap work PennDOT’s con-
tractor will mill and pave the
roadway for curb to curb resur-
facing on Broad.
That work should be done by
mid to late August.
PennDOT had bid out the
work for Broad before the city
bid out the sewer project. City
manager Joe Moskovitz said the
City’s Sewer Committee, of
which he is a member, and Penn-
DOT coordinated well to ensure
PennDOT put the paving work
on hold until the sewer project
was completed.
“The committee – Mayor Ja-
son Klush, Councilman Joe
Chernouskas and I – has met nu-
merous times with the sewer and
utility contractors and with the
city’s engineer, Reilly Associ-
ates, to coordinate the ongoing
infrastructure projects. The cost
of street resurfacing this year is
significantly increased due to
fuel prices and the administra-
tion has worked closely in part-
nership with the utilities to pave
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2011
as many roads as possible in as-
sociation with the infrastructure
improvements throughout the
town in an effort to utilize the
City’s funds as cost effectively as
possible,” Moskovitz said.
Other PennDOT paving pro-
jects in the city this summer are
Main Street from Market Street
to Charles Street and Mill Street
from North Main Street to Rad-
cliff Street, once the Mill sewer
project is done.
The city expects to open bids
at the June council meeting for
work to reconstruct approxi-
mately 19 storm inlets, some in
the Searle Street corridor and
other scattered around the city,
including on Kennedy Boule-
vard.
At that same meeting bids will
be opened for curb to curb pav-
ing on Maple Lane from Canyon
Drive to the dead end. These city
projects are funded by Liquid
Fuels grants.
Assuming the low bid is with-
in the budget work should start
on those projects in June and be
finished by the end of July, Mos-
kovitz said.
American Water projects also
slated for this year are pave work
on O’Connell Street from Mar-
ket Street to James Street, Cur-
ran Street from Market to James
Street, and the completion of the
Mill Street sewer line.
The city has so-called H20
grant money from the Common-
wealth Financing Authority to
use for the following paving pro-
jects this year:
• Wilson Street, Anderson
Street and Fulton Street from
Broad to William Street
• Fear Street and Front Street
from Broad Street to Alleyway
• O’Connell Street from
Broad Street to Tunnel Street
• Part of Tunnel Street
• Foundry Street and Church
Street from Broad Street to Wil-
liam Street
• Gazette Street
• Kennedy Street • Spring
Street and part of Spring Alley
• Charles Street • Wharf
Street from Market Street to Wa-
ter Street Milling work underway on Broad Street prior to new curbing and paving.

77-year-old widow battles rain runoff
Hughestown woman fears further damage along old railroad spur
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
M
ary Sklanka never
wanted to be a ditch
digger, but by necessi-
ty she turned into one during a
heavy rain several years ago.
Sklanka, a 77-year-old widow
who lives at a dead end at 40
Lower Reynolds Street in Hugh-
estown, dug the ditch and in-
stalled a pipe at the end of it to
divert water away from her yard,
patio and cellar.
The water seeps through the
bed of an old railroad spur that
runs along her property line. The
spur once served to deliver paper
to SLC Graphics, now Kappa
Graphics, a printing plant on
Rock Street above Sklanka’s
property. The likely source of the
water which eventually ends up
on her property is the Kappa
parking lot.
The 10-inch pipe which drains
the parking lot empties onto the
old railroad bed. It’s supposed to
flow along a ditch and eventually
into the storm sewer system on
Center Street, but during heavy
rains it ponds on the other side of
the track line above Mary’s prop-

trees growing out of it are hang-
ing over Mary’s yard and garage
at a severe angle. Two of the trees
collapsed onto Mary’s yard this
week. A retaining wall made of
ties and flat rock is also collaps-
ing.

ration. The spur has been aban-
doned since at least 1996 when
SLC closed.
Representatives of the Lu-
zerne County Redevelopment
office did inspect Mary’s proper-
ty this week.
Margie Thomas, a redevelop-
ment spokesperson, said the
county will do some work on the
property, but not on the retaining
wall as it was built by Mary’s late
husband.
“We’re going to send some-
body up there to cut the trees,”
she said.
“Be patient and we’ll get
something done. If we determine
the situation is really detrimental
to her property we’ll repair it.
Will we repair the wall? Proba-
bly not.”
Mary’s neighbor Chris Bal-
chune said after heavy rain like
we had last week, water will run
out of the pipe for five days. He
said the situation is dangerous in
the winter when the end of the
street and Mary’s driveway are
ice over.
Mary said she is most worried
about the overhanging trees and
would like to see them trimmed.
“I hope somebody helps me,”
she said.
Sen. Yudichak tours flood damage in Exeter Borough

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2011

State Sen. John Yudichak ac-
companied local borough offi-
cials Thursday on a tour of areas
in Exeter Borough that experi-
enced extensive flooding dam-
age in recent storms.
The administration’s budget
proposal eliminates the $3.5 mil-
lion previously allocated for
flood control projects under the
Department of Environmental
Protection, Yudichak pointed
out in a press release..
“During the budget hearings
for the Department of Environ-
mental Protection last month, I
shared my concerns about the
need to continue funding flood
control projects to save tax-
payers money,” Yudichak said.
“After touring the flood-ravaged
areas of Exeter, it is even more
apparent why communities need
this funding restored.”
Yudichak said the Luzerne
County Flood Protection Au-
thority, and Exeter and West
Wyoming boroughs have all
contacted his office to voice
their concerns about the poten-
tial loss of these funds. Yudichak
said he plans to continue work-
ing with borough officials to
find a solution to this long stand- Sen. John Yudichak, center, discusses flood damage in Exeter Thursday with, from left, Karen Swast, borough grant writer, and Exeter

WA to get $230,000 refund from Health Trust

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2011

Parents, athletes protest proposed cutting of summer recreation program
By Janine Ungvarsky
Times Leader Correspondent
A bit of positive news on the
budget front led off a Wyoming
Area School Board meeting that
saw impassioned discussion on
funding football and other
sports.
Superintendent Ray Bernardi
ended his report with an update
on some additional savings total-
ing approximately $500,000
worked out since the board dis-
cussed the budget last month.
Bernardi, who sits on the board
for the Northeast Pennsylvania
Health Trust, said the trust has
agreed to refund $230,000 to the
district from its surplus.
Bernardi also announced an
agreement with Enerwise Glob-
al Technologies for a program
that could bring in an estimated
$90,000 over the next three
years. Under the program, the
district would agree to shut down
school buildings on days in the

OUR OPINION YO U R S PAC E

Peter Pan flies into Duryea

Do your
homework
Homework may be a thing of the past in
public schools but it is more important
than ever in regard to the upcoming pri-
mary election in Luzerne County.
With candidates to run in November for
six open seats in the Luzerne County
court to be selected and another 22 (11
Democrats and 11 Republicans) to be cho-
sen to vie in November for 11 positions on
the brand new Luzerne County Council,
the 2011 primary shapes up as one of the
most important in county history.
This primary would be significant if we
did not face the daunting task of repairing
this county’s image.
But we do, which makes the stakes even
higher.
With judicial candidates all cross-filed,
and a heavy Democratic edge in voter reg-
istration in the county, the primary may
well determine who will sit on the bench
before November even rolls around. And
with judges being elected for 10-year
terms, the choices voters make on May 17 Peter Pan, the musical, will be presented at Phoenix Performing Arts Centre, 409 Main St., Duryea, on May 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 7:00

MARIA REMEMBERS
The cousins come home to visit
Early in March, I received a telephone call from
my first cousin, Sadie Miceli MacDonald, who
lives in Connecticut asking, “What are you doing
the weekend of April 2nd?” Without hesitation I
responded, “Nothing. Does that mean you are com-
ing to visit?”
“As a matter of fact, it does. We have been invited
to a party in Pittston and are planning to attend.
There are five of us coming.”
Jubilation!
It has been a few years since we have seen each
other.
There have been telephone calls, cards and short
notes written and sent but the visits were fewer and
fewer. I called my brother Joe and Aunt Rose and
gave them the good news. It was now a question of
the time of arrival.
A few days later I received another telephone call
from Cousin Charlie who manages to visit Pittston
once or twice a year relating his excitement. In that
conversation, I stated that lunch would be at my
house and to pass the word.
The next day there is a message on my answering
machine from Cousin Grace asking if I was sure we
wanted to do lunch at my house. “There are now
nine of us coming.”
Great, this was turning into a cousin mini-re-
union. Cousins are very important in Italian fam-
ilies. The more cousins we have the better we like
it. First cousins are listed next to brothers and sis-
ters.
I know there are residents in the area who re-
member my cousins. You may have attended
school with one of them, were playmates or
friends, or remember them from church.
They are the children of Phillip and Philipina
Spano Miceli, parents of eleven children all born in
the city of Pittston and baptized in St. Rocco’s
Church. They are: Nicholas, Cataldo (Ky), Rosaria
(Sadie), Phillip, (deceased), Joseph, Grace, Car-
mella, Charles, John, and the twins Daniel and Da-
vid.
Writing about my cousins brings back precious
memories of the times spent together. Their house
on Spring Court was always filled with activity.
Aunt Phil made the most delicious bread, knew
how to stretch a meal and anyone who walked into
the door was welcome.
Her day began with mass at 7:00 a.m. at St. Roc-
co’s Church and each night before bedtime the
family knelt on the kitchen floor in front of an altar
of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and his mother Mary
to recite the rosary.
My thoughts of Uncle Phil are of him working in
the garage that was attached to the house repairing
some kind of motor. He was a genius at building
and making things run.
In his young years he rigged up a short wave ra-
dio. When television was new he was thinking col-
or and made a devise of green and blue to place
over the screen.
In his vision for better opportunities for his fam-
Maria Capolarella Montante
ily they moved to Brooklyn, New York in the early
1950s.
When Saturday, April 2, arrived all was in read-
iness. Promptly at noon, the cousins began to ar-
rive.
There was much hugging, kissing, hand shaking,
back slapping and laughter. The total number for
lunch was 19. Conversation flowed easily with re-
membrances of loved ones passed, memories of
family gatherings through the years, and reminis-
cing of things the way they were.
I asked Cousin Sadie what she remembered most
about Pittston. Her reply was, “I remember every-
thing. Downtown and all the stores for shopping,
the two movie theaters, the Roman and American,
the guys hanging on the meters in front of the pool
rooms, and of course the high school.
When I think of Pittston it’s about the house on
Spring Court and the gang; Millie Casale, Mary
Frost, Mary Dominick, Theresa Ardenti, John But-
era, and Sammy Inglima, congregating on the cor-
ner of Oak Street every night.
Grace admits when returning to Pittston passes
the homestead and it seems so small. “I can’t image
that thirteen of us lived there.”
Carmella remembered the Laurel Line trellis
that crossed Main Street at the bottom of Oak
Street and how at ten years old it seemed impos-
sible to cross Main Street to go to St. Rocco’s
School.
The afternoon wore on quickly and it was time
for the cousins to move on to their next destination.
Again the hugs, kisses and promises to see each
other soon.
Cousin Sadie returned at 10:00 p.m. to spend the
night with Chet and me.
Sitting at the kitchen table we began to talk and
talk. We are the kind of cousins who throughout
our lives have shared secrets, problems, disap-
pointments, expectations, happy times, sad times,
and every day living. It was 1:00 a.m., our eyelids
were beginning to droop; there were a few stifled
yawns when we decided to call it a night.
The next morning after a fast cup of coffee, Cou-
sin Sadie was off to join her brothers and sisters.
Chet and I sat at the kitchen table commenting on
what a beautiful day it had been. I commented that I
had one disappointment.
Earlier in the week while shopping, I purchased
two nightgowns for my cousin and me that were
very suitable for our age group. You know the kind,
long sleeves, down to the ankles and up to the neck.
I thought it would be fun to wear matching night-
gowns for our slumber party. However, because of
all the talk at the kitchen table we did not get to the
nightgowns.
When I expressed my disappointment in not
wearing the matching nightgowns, Chet comment-
ed, “Thank God you didn’t wear them, I might have
made a mistake and followed the wrong nightgown
down the hall!”

Staying hydrated
As the weather is finally starting to get warmer, it is becoming
more important to think about hydration, even slight dehydration can
affect you physically and mentally. While it is especially important
for athletes and elderly to make sure they are properly hydrated, it
affects everyone regardless of age or activity level.
Even if you are not visibly sweating or do not feel thirsty you can
still be in the process of becoming dehydrated. By the time you feel
physically thirsty, your body is already dehydrated. You should begin
exercise already hydrated by drinking fluids in the hour before a
workout. Fluids should be replaced early and often during exercise,
especially after long periods of activity or in hot weather. Sports
drinks are only necessary if you are exercising for over an hour at a
high intensity, otherwise water will hydrate your body better.
If you do not exercise on a regular basis, it is important to drink
fluids not only at meals, but in between meals as well.
It is easy to mistake thirst for hunger, as the sensations can feel the
same at times. If you find yourself reaching for a snack, try having a
refreshing glass of water to satisfy your craving, you may not actually
be hungry.
In order to stay adequately hydrated, consume about 64 ounces or
8- 8ounce glasses of water per day. Carrying a water bottle with you is
one way to measure how much water you are consuming throughout
the day.
Hydration can come not just from liquids but from your food too.
Fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of fluid because they are
comprised of about 75-95% water. Other foods, such as soups, jello,
yogurt and even oatmeal are also good sources of fluid.
Water is always the best choice for hydration; it is absorbed the
quickest by your body and is calorie free. Instead of buying expensive
flavored waters, add your own flavors such as lemon, lime, or cucum-
ber to ice cold water or fresh brewed unsweetened tea.
There could be a lot more fat and sugar in your coffee shop bever-
age than you think. Blended coffee drinks that have added syrups and
whipped cream can have hundreds of calories and should thought of
as a dessert and not a beverage. Low fat milk and a touch of sugar or
honey are a better choice for your coffee or tea. Fruit juices can pack a
lot of sugar and calories so make sure you are choosing 100% juice,
and not juice drinks, especially for kids. Remember that fruits also
have a lot of fluid, so choose whole fruit over juice.
Highly sweetened drinks should only be consumed as a treat and
not daily, this includes sodas, powdered drink mixes, and sweet teas.
Here is a refreshing frozen smoothie recipe to try on a hot day!
Frozen Fruit Smoothie

Ingredients
1 frozen banana, peeled and sliced
2 cups frozen strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries
1 cup low fat milk
1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup 100% orange juice
Directions
Put all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Pour
into glasses and serve.
For non-dairy smoothies, substitute1cup rice milk for the milk and
yogurt. Or, use soy yogurt or milk instead of dairy.

The newly organized theatrical group
of the Pittston Lithuanian Citizen’s Club
was set to perform a Lithuanian lan-
guage stage play “Mother-In-Law in the
Home”, at the Casino Hall, 91 North
Main Street in Pittston. The theatre
group headed by Stanley Shacochius,
grew in number as interested thespians
from surrounding areas showed interest
in joining. A similar theatrical group
had performed in the hall in prior years
when the club had rented the space.
After the Citizen’s Club became owner
of the hall, the theatrical group was
revived.

“How many times a week should a mar-

Louis Marino Jr. answered, “I don’t
think a married man should go out,
unless he takes his wife.”

Float competition planned for Memorial Day Parade
YMCA annual campaign kicks-off Monday with dinner at Brutico’s
As the annual West Pittston/
Exeter Memorial Day Parade
nears, a reminder goes out that
this year’s parade will feature a
competition for best patriotic-
themed float.
All area organizations, clubs,
youth groups, businesses and
even individuals are invited to
enter a float.
If interested, call Butch Si-
monson, commander of the Lt.
Jeffrey DePrimo American Le-
gion Post 542, at 655-6258.
The parade is sponsored joint-
ly by the DePrimo Post and the

Legion Post 833 of Exeter.
Ron Gitkos is parade chair-
man.
YMCA Campaign
The Greater Pittston YMCA
2011 Annual Campaign is about
to begin. This year’s campaign
entitled “Help Change a Life”
will kick-off on Monday, May 2,
with an evening of elegant dining
at Brutico’s Restaurant, Old
Forge. The goal of the campaign
is to raise $50,000.
“We believe in the Greater
Pittston community and we ap-
preciate the support they have
given us in previous years,” said
Debby Mendicino, executive di-
rector. “I truly believe this year
will be no different.”
Money raised from the annual
campaign is used by the YMCA
to help fund the organization’s
childcare program and sports
and aquatics programs.
“The money is for the chil-
dren,” said Mendicino. “This is
about improving and enriching
their lives.”
The focus of the Greater Pitt-
ston YMCA is healthy living,
youth development, and social
responsibility. Funds raised also
support the Y’s scholarship pro-
gram, which helps families and
youths with fitness and childcare
costs.
The May 2 dinner is a first in a
series of fundraising events
planned by the YMCA board
and Fund Development commit-
tee. Future events include a com-
munity picnic and the organiza-
tion’s annual dinner. The May 2
event offers a five course dinner
and wine tasting throughout the
evening.
“This is an opportunity for the
community to meet and interact
with the YMCA board and em-
ployees,” said Tina Fisher, board
president. “It gives us the oppor-
tunity to share with community
how the YMCA is changing and
growing.”
The Pittston organization re-
cently completed an extensive
renovation project on its indoor
pool. Renovations included a
new HVAC system and retiling
of the pool floor.
“Improvements can be seen
throughout the facility,” said
Mendicino. “We have a newly
remodeled multipurpose room
and babysitting room. You can
also see pictures of our youths
and members hanging through-
out the facility. This is a commu-
nity organization and we want
our members to feel comfortable
and at home.”
Reverend Paul McDonnell is
chairman of this year’s annual
campaign.

you’ll hear the show announcer say:
The Wyoming Area Music Depart-
ment is proud to present the 2011 In-
door Percussion program entitled ‘The
Age of Anthracite: A Day in the Life.’
The show explores the lifestyle and
daily routines of the average turn-of-
the-century coal miner.
Follow us from the first sound of the
work bell, hop into a mine cart and
join us on our descent into the mine.
It is here that our ‘black gold’ is
drilled, shoveled and then transported
to the surface where it is sorted by the
breaker boys. Mining is a dirty job, but
But fear not, for a miners’ life isn’t
all hardships.
If you survive our journey you’re
welcome to join us in the tavern, the
place where every respectable coal
miner will end his day on an upbeat
note.

Dr. Estelle Campenni is seek-
ing re-election to the Wyoming

penni is an Associate Professor
and Psychology Department As-
sistant Chair at Marywood Uni-
versity.
She received her Ph.D. in Ex-
perimental Psychology from
Adelphi University and her B.A.
in Psychology from Penn State.
Prior to her position at Mary-
wood, Dr. Campenni served as
an adjunct faculty member at La-
fayette College, Villanova Uni-
versity.and Gwynedd Mercy
College.
In her 16 years at Marywood,
Dr. Campenni’s academic focus
has been development of critical
thinking skills, research profi-
ciency and statistical abilities in
graduate students seeking mas-
ter’s and doctoral degrees. She
was intimately involved in the
development of both doctoral
programs at Marywood and
serves on numerous administra-
tive committees at the Universi-
ty.
Dr. Campenni’s research focus
is on simple, creative strategies
to enhance mindfulness (which
is the capacity to be aware and at-
tentive to the present moment) in
one’s personal and professional
life.
Prior to choosing an academic
position, Dr. Campenni was em-
ployed for seven years as a senior
research analyst by various mar-
ket research firms in the Phila-
delphia area working directly
with executives from major
pharmaceutical, computer and
consumer corporations.
Estelle resides in West Pittston
with her two sons, Trevor and
Evan.
During her time on the Board
thus far, Dr. Campenni has
strived to enhance the fiscal re-
sponsibility of the District, sup-
port the fairest hiring practices
possible and demand account-
ability and transparency in all
communications between the
Board and administration.
“More needs to be done to run
the Wyoming School District
like a highly efficient business
and it is for this reason that I am
teaming up with an A+ group of

individuals who support the
same values.”

Tom Cason
Tom Cason is pleased to an-
nounce his candidacy for the po-
sition of Director on the Wyom-
ing Area Board of Education.
Tom has been a resident of
West Pittston for the past 20
years. Tom is widower of the late
Tamara Jo Shive Cason. He re-
sides with his two sons Dillon 19
and Griffin 13.
Tom’s son Dillon is a 2010
graduate of Wyoming Area and
is presently a pre-med honor stu-
dent at the University of Scran-
ton. Griffin is presently an eighth
grade student at Wyoming Area.
Tom was born and raised in

son of James and Barbara Cason,
currently of Swoyersville. He is a
1984 graduate of Manville High
School. After graduation Tom
attended and graduated from
Somerset County College and
Somerset County Technical In-
stitute with an associate degree
in mechanical engineering tech-
nology. Tom also attended Lu-
zerne County Community Col-
lege.
Before moving to West Pitt-
ston, Tom was employed by In-
dustrial Cooling Corporation in
South Plainfield, New Jersey,
and was a member of local union
475 in the refrigeration division.
Tom has been employed by Hon-
eywell International as an auto-
mation technician for 20 years.
In 1996 Tom was awarded the
Tom Cason
Ambassadors Club national cor-
porate achievement award.
Tom was a volunteer youth
basketball coach for Wyoming
Area and the Pittston YMCA.
He was also a den leader for Cub
Scout Pack 352 for many years.
Tom is a supporter of the Boy
Scouts of America. Tom’s oldest
son Dillon has earned the rank of
Eagle Scout and his son Griffin
holds the rank of Star from
Troop 352, West Pittston.
“With the current budget short
fall, the Board must focus more
on ensuring a first class educa-
tion for our children. I am mak-
ing an open pledge of no nepo-
tism.”
Beth Gober-Mangan
Beth Gober-Mangan is
pleased to announce her candi-
dacy for the position of school
director in the Wyoming Area
School District. She is running
on the A+ Team ticket which in-
cludes Dr. Estelle Campenni,
Tom Cason, and Carl Yorina.
Beth is a resident of Exeter and
a 1977 graduate of Wyoming Ar-
ea. Due to the excellent educa-
tion and guidance she received in
high school, Beth was awarded a
full four-year academic scholar-
ship to Goucher College in Tow-
son, Md., where she majored in
Chemistry. Since high school,
she has assisted her parents, Joe
and Leona, in the operation of
their family business, currently
known as Gober’s Deco Lounge.
After several years as a stay at
Beth Gober-Mangan
home mom, Beth began her ca-
reer as an analytical chemist in
the Research and Technology
Development group of
SCHOTT North America in Du-
ryea. Beth has played a key role
in the annual “Take Your Child to
Work” activities which provide
employees’ children the oppor-
tunity to experience various job
possibilities in both a production
and research environment. She
also served as a leader for both
the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts
of Exeter for fifteen years.
Children have always been her
focus which Beth attributes to
the strong influence of her heri-
tage. “I am running for this posi-
tion to ensure that a superior
public school education is avail-
able to future generations. With
the current deficit and the pro-
posed state funding cuts, deci-
sions will need to be based on
facts and not on relationships.
Working with the educators, I
want to develop a team that pro-
motes and encourages more of
our young adults to consider ca-
reers in the sciences.”
Beth and her husband Jim are
the proud parents of Kate
(WA’99), Sarah (WA’03) and
Conner (WA’12). They are also
the grandparents of Gabriel and
Gwendolyn, future students of

Attorney Paula Radick, a Ha-
zleton native and attorney with
the Law Firm of Elliott Green-
leaf & Dean in Wilkes-Barre, an-
nounced her intent to run for Lu-
zerne County Judge.
A registered Democrat, she is
cross-filed on both party tickets
for the May primaries.
Attorney Radick said she will
run a true grassroots campaign
based on her values, beliefs and
commitment to the residents of
Luzerne County. Her campaign
slogan is “Paula Radick for the
People.”
“I have served the public for
more than half of my legal career
and feel that it is time to devote
the rest of my career to public
service,” said Attorney Radick.
“It’s a new era in the Luzerne
County courts and I want to be a
part of it.
“As an attorney committed to
my clients, the lack of integrity
in our legal system in the past has
been extremely frustrating to
me. I feel that everyone deserves
their day in court with a well-pre-
pared judge who knows the law.
“My experience for judge is
well rounded, from my years in
the DA’s office to my pro bono
Atty. Molly Hanlon Mirabito a candidate for judge
Molly Hanlon Mirabito an-
nounced her candidacy for Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas of
Luzerne County.
“Luzerne County has been in
the news for the last two years. It
has been a challenging time, but
also a time of change. While we
still face daunting tasks, I’m
confident that we can work to-
gether to keep the county mov-
ing forward. The Court has im-
plemented some positive chang-
es and other changes are yet to
come. I believe I can best con-
tribute by running for and serv-
ing as judge,” she said..
“John Kennedy once said that
candidates should submit their
records and views to the voters. I
agree. And an important part of
this picture is a candidate’s expe-
rience – experience in the cour-
troom and experience working
with the law on a day to day ba-

is the great equalizer. It protects
society, and it protects the indi-

Blogfest packs ‘em in at Rooney’s

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2011

By Jack Smiles

More than 150 people were in

and out of Rooney’s Pub on Main
Street Friday night for the third
annual Blogfest.
The event was hosted by polit-
ical bloggers Joe Valenti of Pitt-
ston Politics.com and Dave Yon-
ki of the LuLacletter.com.
Yonki said he and Valenti
aren’t hiding. “A lot of bloggers
are anonymous. Joe and I put our
names on our work. It’s a good
way for the readers to meet the
people behind the screen.”
Also on hand was Ben Hoon of
Plains, aka Gort42, one of the
original political bloggers in the
area. He started the Blogfest
three years ago. Two years ago it
moved to Pittston. He came up
with the rules: no speeches, must
buy drinks and “everyone must
wear clothes.”
Casey Evans, a candidate for
the County Council, said the
event is a relief from the usual
political rallies. “It’s fantastic.
It’s informal. It’s a let your hair
down event. No matter where
you stand on the issues, it’s fun to
just hang out.
Judge candidate Jen Rogers
agreed. “It’s a unique opportuni-
ty to meet members of the blog
community. It’s a way to bridge
the gap between online and real
life. And it’s a way for people to
get to know who you are without
all the political rhetoric.”
Among the many other candi-
dates who dropped in were Mi-
chelle Bednar, Ed Brominski,
Stan Knick, John Adonizio, Wil
Toole, and Jim Bobeck, county
council; Estelle Campenni, WA
school board; Barb Zangre, Pitt-
ston council; Marc Bufalino, Joe
Saporito and Vito DeLuca,
county judge.
Clockwise from top left, Wil

didate talks to Tom Bindus.

council candidate Michelle

Pittston Area teammates surround Ron Musto after he was selected the Andy Ashby MVP of the Pittston Area-Wyoming Area baseball game at PNC Field on Monday.
Patriots take Ashby game on the big stage
By Matt Petrini
Dispatch Correspondent
One pitch was all PA senior
Ron Musto needed. With the
bases loaded and the score tied
2-2, Musto blasted a bases clear-
ing double ultimately putting the
game out of reach and lifting the
Patriots a 7-2 come-from-behind
win Monday afternoon at PNC
Field in Moosic in the 14th An-
nual Ashby Game.
For his efforts, Musto was
awarded the MVP trophy from
former two-time National
League All Star Andy Ashby.
PA head coach Paul Zaffuto
said his catcher was deserving.
PAGE 46
“Ronnie hit two balls early on
and he made another quick ad-
Sports
justment and drilled the double
right on the nose.”
Musto was stunned by the
magnitude of the hit. “I don’t
think it sunk in yet,” he said after
getting the MVP. “I knew I was
going to get a fastball, I just put a
big swing into it. This is like the
World Series to us. And being
awarded this, there is no greater
honor.”
Ashby said the thrill is not
gone after 14 seasons. “I’m very
privileged to be able to give
something back to the kids. We
talked to both schools and my
wife and I decided to have a
MVP trophy in my honor. Its fun
to come back and see these kids
play,” said Ashby.
Ironically, it was another Ron
Musto, the former Wyoming Ar-
ea coach, who came up with the
idea 15 years ago for an MVP
trophy game between Wyoming
Area and Pittston Area
Early on, starters Jim Castelli-
no and Dylan Maloney had their
stuff working. Both baffled op-
posing hitters. Maloney mus-
tered only two hits while fanning
four in the first four innings.
Castellino was pulled in the third
after running into some trouble.
After Castellino walked PJ Bone
and Dylan Maloney to start the
third, Randy McDermott
launched a sacrifice fly to center
moving Bone to third. The Patri-
ots then made a move, bringing
in Jordan Bone to face Kody
Nowicki. With a 2-2 count,
Nowicki knocked in the War-
riors first run of the game with a
sacrifice fly to center chasing
home PJ Bone from third as the
Warriors took 1-0 lead.
After Maloney set down the
Patriots in the home half of the
fourth Ryan Carey helped Malo-
ney out by drilling an RBI single
off the 330 marker and the wall
in left chasing home Trent Grove
from second giving the Warriors
a 2-0 lead.
With momentum trickling
away, the Patriots were looking
for a spark against Maloney. In
the fifth they found it. Evan
Hahn and Matt Antal reached
with one out and senior Jordan
Bone lined an RBI single to cen-
ter scoring Hahn. After a strike-
PHOTOS BY BILL TAUTIS
out, Josh Savakinas lined an RBI
single to third scoring Antal to
tie it 2-2. RJ Emmett reached on
a HBP setting up Musto for his
bases clearing double to center.
Pinch runner Tyler Loftus was
later chased home on a RBI sin-
gle by freshman Josh Razvilla
capping the Patriots six-run
fifth.
From there, the Patriots tacked
on another in the sixth on an RBI
single to left by Anthony
Schwab.
Reliever Kyle Callahan retired
the last six out of seven batters he
faced securing the win for the
Patriots.
“Our bats were quick the first

couple of innings and the credit
goes right to Maloney on the
mound. He was keeping us off-
balanced. We tried to take pitch-
es and get him out of the game
early but he pitched solid,”
Coach Paul Zaffuto said on Mal-
oney efforts.
“Andy Ashby does a great job
with this event every year. These
kids get an atmosphere of a big
time playoff game when its not.
It’s just a lot of fun for both
schools.”
Jordan Bone got the win in re-
lief. Maloney took the loss sur-
rendering six runs while fanning
five.
For the Patriots, Musto fin-
ished 2 for 3 with three runs.
Matt Antal tallied a hit and
scored two runs.
Blue Devils steal victory from
Vikes
Old Forge stole nine bases - in-
cluding a straight steal of home -
in an 8-2 victory over arch-rival
Riverside in an important Lacka-
wanna League Division II game
on Monday afternoon at Pagnotti
Park. The win puts the Blue Dev-
ils into a second-place tie with
the Vikings, a half-game behind
division leader Valley View.
Old Forge (5-2) gave winning-
pitcher Tony Goodall an early
lead, scoring a run with two outs
in the first inning on an RBI-sin-
gle to left field by Dave Argust.
Argust’s line drive scored Con-
nor Fultz who walked and moved
to second when Dom Avvisato
was hit by a Mike Osterstrom
pitch. It was a sign of things to
come as The Blue Devils would
score seven of their eight runs
with two outs.
Goodall cruised through the
first four innings, allowing just
two singles as the Blue Devils
added single runs in each of the
first four innings for a 4-0 lead.
Old Forge’s speed contributed to
each run in the second, third and
fourth innings as five different
players stole bases. Mario Marti-
nelli highlighted the Blue Devils
dominance on the base paths as
the senior singled with two outs
in the fourth, stole second, and
scored on an infield single by
Michael Long as the speedy sec-
ond baseman never hesitated as
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 1, 2011
he rounded third before scooting
home.
Riverside got on the board in
the bottom of the fifth as they put
three two-out hits together, in-
cluding RBI knocks from BJ
Boccicchio and Jason Goetsch to
get within 4-2. The Blue Devils
tacked on four more runs in the
bottom of the sixth off of reliever
Skylar Lavage, including a high-
light reel steal of home by Marti-
nelli. Martinelli started the in-
ning with a bunt single, and
moved to third on a bunt single
by Long. Long stole second but
was then doubled off on a line
drive by Fultz. With Lavage now
in the windup, Martinelli took
off for home, sliding in head first
ahead of the tag for a 5-2 lead.
The Blue Devils weren’t done.
Avvisato followed with a single
to left, and Argust stroked his
second single of the game to give
Old Forge runners at first-and-
second. Russ McGlynn dumped
a pitch into left for an RBI-sin-
gle, and Gary Puckett followed
with a two-run single into deep
right centerfield to put the Blue
Devils ahead, 8-2.
Martinelli finished with three
hits and three stolen bases for
Old Forge, and Long, Argust,
and Puckett each added two hits.
OF 5, Dunmore 4
Old Forge remained one game
out of first place with a 5-4,
eight-inning victory over Dun-
more on Thursday afternoon at
Pagnotti Park. Dave Argust took
one for the team to drive in the
winning run when he was hit by a
pitch with the bases loaded to
score Mario Martinelli. Marti-
nelli and Michael Long each had
two hits for the Blue Devils
while Derek Drasba picked up
the win in relief by striking out
five in five innings.

When the Pittston Area boys track team beat Cough-
lin 83-67 the Patriots at Charley Trippi Stadium on
Tuesday, April 19 they stayed unbeaten at 4-0.
Cody Rydzy was one big reason why. He picked up
15 points for the Patriots in individual events winning
the long jump, 110 hurdles, and the triple jump. He went
18’-10’’ in the long jump, finished the hurdles in 15.5

Scalzo was half the scoring story. Katie scored a hat
trick.
She scored two goals in the first half on break away
shots taking on the goalie one-on-one. She made her
third goal three minutes into the second half with a left-

The Old Forge Blue Devils softball team was on a

runs in the top of the first on an
RBI-triple by Heather Derenick
and an RBI single by Ana Sot-

first five runs with two out.
Old Forge responded with an
unearned run in their half of the

WA freshmen defenders help blank North Pocono
By Matt Page
Dispatch Correspondent
In a crossover game against a
North Pocono team that made
the district playoffs last year,
Wyoming Area played a com-
plete game on offense as well as
defense on Tuesday at the Tenth
Street Elementary Field in
Wyoming.
With a bit of a tinkered lineup,
the moves worked for WA as the
offense was able to apply pres-
sure and create dangerous op-
portunities and the defense was
able to stymie North Pocono’s at-
tack en route to a 1-0 victory.
"We’re just trying to fit people
into places," said coach Mike
Pryor about the changes to his li-
neup.
Some of those changes includ-
ed a new-look defense.
Freshman Sam Acacio,
Amanda Gallagher and Danielle
Stillarty along with Shannon
Ritts spoiled the efforts of the
visiting team all day, not allow-
ing them to form any sort of
good attack.
"The three freshman in the
back, they did an excellent job,"
said Pryor.
While the defense was execut-
ing their job, the offense was do-
ing the same.
In the 15th minute, a free kick
was awarded to WA just outside
the attacking right half of the
penalty box. Katie Scalzo
stepped up to the ball and was
able to bend it over the wall to the
near post where Habibah Njiaja
was able to knock it into the back
of the net for a 1-0 lead.
"(Katie) put the ball in the
right spot, and luckily we work
on free kick positioning," said
Pryor. "We had a person on the
near post and it went in the back
of the net."
Wyoming Area didn’t slow
down the attack after gaining the
lead.
With just under 13 minutes left
in the half, Jenna Skrinak ran on-
to a through-ball from Kourtney
Schwerdtman and was one-on-
one with the keeper. However,
the keeper was able to dive at the
ball and knock it away as Skrinak
went to shoot.

Pittston Area beats GAR 5-0
In the second half, North Po-
cono stepped up the pressure but
the defense stepped up its game
to thwart all opportunities.
Then, Skrinak nearly iced the
game with less than two minutes
left as she got the ball and made
three cut backs to lose all defend-
ers. She attacked the goal with
the dribble and let loose a lefty
shot but the keeper was able to
knock it away.
"We just wanted to stay orga-
nized defensively and work hard
in and around the ball," said
Pryor. "We wanted to create op-
portunities which we did and I
thought we defended pretty well
as a group."
WA held the advantage in
shots 14-12 but both sides had
five shots on goal.
Caitlin Vitale made five saves
in the victory.
The Lady Warriors game
scheduled for Thursday at
Wyoming Seminary was post-
poned until May 9.
Meyers 1, PA 0
One week after exploding for
10 goals, the Lady Patriots of-
fense was held in check as they
fell 1-0 against the Division 2B
top-seed Meyers Mohawks on
Tuesday at the Gordon Ave.
fields in South Wilkes-Barre.
Meyers broke the scoreless tie in
the 73rd minute and then were
able to keep the potent PA of-
fense from scoring the equalize-
r,in the final eight. Jordan Cum-
bo made 15 saves in the net for
the Lady Patriots (3-4-1) were
outshot 16-11.
Pittston Area 5, GAR 0
Coming back from a tough
loss on Tuesday, the Lady Patri-
ots earned an emphatic 5-0 win
over GAR on Thursday at the
Bucky Harris Sports Complex in
Hughestown. Sara Ruby had a
goal and an assist and Liz Mikit-

ish had two goals to lead PA.
Danielle Fereck kicked things
off less than seven minutes into
the game as she took things into
her own hands to score unassist-
ed and give PA the early lead, one
which they would not relinquish.
In the second half, the ever dan-
gerous Ruby boosted the lead to
2-0 at the 57:19 mark but less
than three minutes later, Marina
Sell scored her first off a feed
from Tianna Stull to kick the
lead to 3-0.
Less than four minutes after
Sell’s goal, the dangerous duo of
Mikitish and Ruby combined to
give PA a 4-0 as Ruby fed Mikit-
ish. Mikitish would strike again
off a Stull assist three minutes
later for the final goal of the
match.
The defense was able to hold
GAR to just six shots, three of
them on goal, while the offense
peppered the goal with 23 shots.
Jordan Cumbo only needed to
make three saves in goal for the
Lady Patriots.
Tunkhannock 2, WA 1 (OT)
In a make-up game from earli-
er this season, and one day after a
big victory, the Lady Warriors
(3-3) were defeated 2-1 in over-
time against the Tunkhannock
Tigers on Wednesday at Roslund
Elementary in Tunkhannock.
After a scoreless first half, Tunk-
hannock was the first one on the
scoreboard as they scored less
than nine minutes into the sec-
ond half. However, the Lady
Warriors were able to fight back
and notch the game equalizer
when Danielle Stillarty fed
Kourtney Schwerdtman, who
was able to finish the play with a
goal in the 69th minute. The two
Division 2B foes would battle
the rest of the way in a 1-1 tie as
the game was sent to overtime.
However, the Tigers scored the
game-winner just seconds into
overtime and the Lady Warriors
fell 2-1. Caitlin Vitale had a fine
day in the net, recording 27 saves
as WA was outshot 29-7.

WVM School hosts Bloomsburg

Theatre Company
The students of the Wyom-
ing Valley Montessori School
located on West Market Street
in Kingston recently hosted the
renowned Bloomsburg Theatre
Ensemble as they presented a
Civil War themed live perform-
ance entitled, “Capture the
Flag.” As a part of their Theat-
re in the Classroom series the
troupe portrayed the lives of
three 10 year old children one
from Vicksburg, Mississippi,
one from Richmond, Virginia,
and one from Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania on that faithful
day of July 4, 1863, when the
course of the Civil War turned
in favor of the North.
Students were able to draw
from the emotions of the ac-
tor’s characters what it was like
to be a young child during that
terrible war one hundred and
fifty years ago. Following the
performance a question and an-
swer session was conducted
which discussed not only the
theme of the performance but
various questions on aspects of
live performance.
Pictured with the children of
Wyoming Valley Montessori
are the actors from left to right;
David Menich, Daniel Roth,
and Rosemary Brownlow.

Wyoming Area’s seventh annual career day set for May 19

Wyoming Area will host the
seventh annual Career Day on
Thursday, May 19 at St. Antho-
ny’s Center. This annual program
is for Wyoming Area juniors. Ed
Ackerman will deliver the key-
note address to kick off the day.
He will speak at 8:00 after Mr.
Bernardi, superintendent and
Mr. Quaglia, high school princi-
pal welcomes the juniors. The
day offers each junior the oppor-
tunity to attend four half-hour
career sessions from 9 to 11 a.m.
A college fair will take place
from 11 to noon during lunch.
College admissions officers
from Johnson Tech, Keystone
College, LCCC, Marywood
University, Misericordia Univer-
sity, Penn State University,
Scranton University and Wilkes
University will be on hand to
meet with juniors to begin the
college search process.
During lunch several elected
officials will be available to
speak with the juniors as they
have lunch. It gives them an op-
portunity to ask questions and
engage in conversation with the
people who serve as their leaders
in the communities that make up
our district. After lunch, a group
of recent Wyoming Area gradu-
ates will be part of a college pan-
el. They will discuss the transi-
tion from high school to college
and answer any questions the ju-
niors have regarding this proc-
ess. Some of the graduates are at-
tending college out of the area,
others are attending local colleg-
es, some have transferred from
one college to another, others
worked and then began college.
Some joined the armed services
and others are working. The va-
riety of experiences and the sto-
ries should be helpful to the ju-
niors who will be making career
and college choices next year.
Wyoming Area graduates, Jo-
seph DeLucca, who has worked
in the field of Education since he
finished college, presently
serves as the Director of Federal,
State and Non-Public Programs
at the Luzerne Intermediate #18,
will join Father Paul McDonnell
as they speak on Motivation. Re-
cently, Joe was selected as one of
the Forty under 40 professionals
to be honored by the Times
Leader. Father Paul McDonnell
is a young priest who was born
and raised almost across the
street from the WA high school.
Attorney Michael Ferrence, a
young blind lawyer who practic-
es in Wilkes-Barre will also
speak on Motivation as the final
speaker for the day.

Wyoming Area slates scholarship celebration for May 26

Wyoming Area will host the
second annual Community Ou-
treach and Scholarship Celebra-
tion on Thursday, May 26 in the
high school cafeteria. The pro-
gram will begin at 7 p.m. with
doors opening at 5:30 p.m. Pic-
tures will be taken according to
the schedule received with the
invitations. This year the cele-
bration will feature four new
scholarships. They are the Mi-
chael L. Pesta UFCW FCU
Scholarship, the West Pittston
Cherry Blossom Scholarship
commemorating the 40th anni-
versary of the festival, the Moose
Lodge #1207 Governor’s Award
and the LUI Golf Tournament
Scholarship.
Invitations have been issued
and recipients of these are urged
to reply as soon as possible. Last
year’s program had over 300 in
attendance and a larger crowd is
expected this year. Some donors
travel some distance to attend
and to meet their recipients. If
anyone is having a conflict that
night, please call Mrs. Rabel
with your name and concern and
a member of the committee will
return your call and try to ac-
commodate you.
The purpose of the celebration
is to honor the graduating se-
niors who are receiving scholar-
ships and to show appreciation to
the donors who are willing to re-
ward their recipients financially.
It also gives the donors and re-
cipients a chance to talk to each
other and learn more about each
other, especially the plans the se-
niors have for their future.
Over 300 applications were re-
ceived for the scholarships.
Many of the scholarships re-
ceived over 15 applications and
some received up to 30 applica-
tions. Wyoming Area looks for-
ward to continuing this tradition
of recognizing and thanking the
donors of these scholarships
who have been doing this for
many years. Wyoming Area also
wants to honor the senior recip-
ients for their outstanding
achievements that merit these
awards.

Cinderella Ice Cream Party fundraiser to benefit Miseri students

Misericordia University stu-
dents scheduled to attend the
Dublin Pilgrimage for Young
Mercy Leaders Conference in
August are holding a Cinde-
rella Ice Cream Party fun-
draiser on Saturday, May 7
from 1-3 p.m. in the Cougars
Den located in the Banks Stu-
dent Life Center on campus.
The Cinderella Ice Cream
Party features a picture with
Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty
or a character to be an-
nounced, along with fun activ-
ities such as balloon animals,
face painting, magic tricks,
dancing and coloring, and ice
cream. The cost is $5 per

The Dublin Pilgrimage for
Young Mercy Leaders is
scheduled for Aug. 10-12.
Eight Misericordia University
students and two chaperones,
through Campus Ministry,
will attend the conference for
Mercy-sponsored institutions
of higher education. The Mer-
cy pilgrims will undertake the
journey in the light of the sto-
ry of Catherine McAuley, the
foundress of the Sisters of
Mercy. Through presentation,
discussion, reflection and
prayer, participating students
will engage the history and
charism of Mercy and return
to life better equipped to be
Mercy leaders on their college
campuses and in the world.
Chelsea Mixon of Bethle-
hem, Pa., one of the chief or-
ganizers of the fundraiser, is
going to play Cinderella at the
ice cream benefit. She is look-
ing forward to learning more
about the tenets — Mercy,
Service, Justice and Hospital-
ity — that guide the Religious
Sisters of Mercy and Miser-
icordia University.
“I want to learn more about
the charisms of our school and
our founding Sisters of Mer-
cy,’’ said Mixon, a social work
major who conducted a similar
fundraiser for a mission trip to
Costa Rico. “And I want to
take what I learn in Dublin and
bring it back to campus and
get more people involved.’’

ty benefit, please contact Mix-

Tobyhanna Federal Credit Union helps Old Forge students

Tobyhanna Federal Credit
Union (TobyFCU) donated
$1000.00 to the Old Forge Area
High School to help fund attend-
ance to the New York City Trade
Fair in Manhattan on April 7.
The program is through the
Business Practices Firm, Center
for Simulated Business Services
at Mercer County Community
College. The purpose of the pro-
gram is for students to create a
marketing/sales project involv-
ing real events where firms buy
and sell simulated products and
services. Overall the program
teaches entrepreneur skills that
require intensive cooperation
among the students. Students are
required to create a marketing
plan, business plan, and finan-
cial data to name a few.
The Old Forge students creat-
ed “Ticket Wizard” as their busi-
ness which involved the sale of
movie, concert, and related tick-
et packages. The students deco-
rated a booth at the Expo and
showcased their product lines to
other participating schools. All
students had the opportunity to
buy and sell from each other
throughout the day. Nearly 1600
students were at the event. Old
Forge High School was one of
three schools from our area.
A portion of the funding also
came from the Scranton Cham-
ber of Commerce. In addition,
the students took on the goal of
raising nearly $2,000 on their
own. Fundraisers included a
Coffee Cart business and the sale
of Candy-Cane grams during the
holidays.
