One sweet idea

Candy, candy, candy, candy. Garfield From Garfields Halloween Well, I missed it. You probably did too. Im talking about National Candy Month. Thats what June was and it came and went before I even heard about it. Had I known, this is how I would have celebrated: I would have been at Pittston Candy Inc., 197 Broad St., Pittston, bright and early on June 1 (or better yet on May 31) selecting a different piece of the marvelous treat formerly known as penny candy for each of the 30 days ahead. If you are not familiar with Pittston Candy, dont feel bad. Neither was I until I went there last Christmas to buy cigars for a friend. I always called the place simply the cigar store. Who knew the cigars and, believe me, they do have cigars, a whole walk-in humidor of cigars played second fiddle to the shelves and shelves and shelves of candy? I told my wife later that day, Youll never guess who I ran into at the cigar store. Who? she asked. Me, I said. Little me. Five-year-old me. I told her I took one look at the Mexican Hats, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, the rolls of Necco Wafers, the Candy Buttons yes, they have those candy buttons, the ones stuck on those long strips of paper and I was transported back in time. Most of my penny candy memories involve Massaras market on Butler Street, Lenas store on Defoe Street, and the best of them all - the mother load, as Garfield says in the aforementioned movie Sams in the alley near Mount Carmel Church. We werent always allowed to go to Sams because it meant crossing busy William Street but Sams was the place for candy. Just for fun, I popped into Pittston Candy last week to dream about what I would have selected had I known about National Candy Month. During my eye-opening cigar store visit last Christmas, I bought Mary Kay a whole box of Satellite Wafers those melt-in-your-mouth wafers shaped like flying saucers and filled with little candy beads. They came in boxes of about 240 for $11.90 and heres the best part: serving size, 30 pieces. So, I think I would have started Candy Month with a serving of 30 Satellite Wafers. Yes, that would have been a perfect start. The Mexican Hats, mentioned above, would be a good choice for Day Two, followed by ever-popular Swedish Fish, Squirrel Nut Zippers and perhaps a roll of all-chocolate Necco Wafers. On Day Six, Id mix things up with a little box of Boston Baked Beans those candy coated peanuts remember them? and then move on to Haribo raspberries, one red and one black. Well, maybe several of red and several black. Day Seven would bring Red Hot Dollars followed by a box of Hot Tamales and on Day Nine I would need an Ice Cube, those delectable square chocolates from Germany wrapped in gold foil. Bit O Honey would be my choice for Day 10 followed by a roll of Smarties on day 11. My dads birthday was Oct. 12, so on Day 12 of Candy Month I would remember him with a licorice pipe. They were his all- time favorite. Id continue the licorice theme on Day 13 with some traditional Twizzlers and the following day with chocolate Twizzlers. They were always a rare find. Speaking of rare finds, on Day 15, I would have a root beer barrel. I bought some of those last Christmas and when I offered one to an older friend seated next to me at a concert, his eyes opened wide and he whispered, Wow. These are hard to come by. I didnt tell him where I had gotten them. Where were we? Oh, Day 16. Time for some Candy Buttons. They come in 96 buttons per strip and the whole thing is only 20 calories. How about that? The only thing is, you do wind up eating some of the paper that sticks to them when you peel them off. But its worth it. Im running out of space, so heres the rest of my list. Day 17 A Candy Necklace. Day 18 Bonomo Turkish Taffy. Day 19 A Mallow Cup. Day 20 A package of Chuckles. Day 21 A box of Good & Plenty. Day 22 A box of Mike & Ike, of course.

The Susquehanna River tore through the Patch section of Port Blanchard, most of which is on the list, Brozena said. The Patch is a set-off village of 30 homes on Tennant, Miller, Jennings streets and is bordered by the Reading and Northern Railroad bed on one side and undeveloped wooded areas on three sides. All the homes were flooded on the first floor with water reaching the second floor in several. The river tore away foundations, created sink holes and collapsed buildings. We didnt get a lot of the publicity, but we were one of the worst hit in that flood, said Jenkins Township Supervisor Stanley Rovinski. Other buyout will include five

West Pittston Borough manager Savino Bonita identified the five properties as homes at 12 North St. owned by Diane Cosgrove, 1320 Susquehanna Ave. owned by Judy Barone, 216 Wyoming Ave, owned by Armando Gonzales, 225 Race St. owned by Alan Pugh and 334 Race St. owned by Tony Carfora. Brozena said the current round of buyouts totals 163 Luzerne County properties, with the remaining coming from Conyngham, Plains, Nescopeck and Hunlock townships and Shickshinny Borough. The price tag in Luzerne County is $14 million and the money is being obligated

THE
HEAT
Did you see a red man with a pitchfork walking down Main Street last week? Well, maybe it wasnt THAT hot, but the midsummer heat wave had most residents seeking the comfort of air conditioning or a least a nice box fan. Temperatures in much of the region flirted with 100, making a swimming pool or a cold shower more a necessity than a luxury. If you had to work outside, lots of water and lots of breaks were the right way to proceed. Were not complaining, though, despite it being a devil of summer.

Council considers new noise law

Sunday Dispatch Correspondent
Pittston City trying to alleviate state citations against Coopers Cabana on Kennedy Boulevard
By JON OCONNELL
Pittston City Council members are discussing an ordinance that may alleviate pressure on a city night club cited by the state Liquor Control Enforcement for excessive noise. The ordinance allows law enforcement to fine residents and businesses for excessive noise. Council tabled the ordinance and will revisit the issue next month. The proposed ordinance describes nuisance noises as car horns, music or shouting. It also addresses pet birds squawking incessantly and loud speakers used for business promotion, among other noises. The ordinance clarifies that these sounds are in violation only if made as to annoy or disturb the quiet. Many were concerned that the ordinance would be enforced during the day because the language lacked a time element to specify when it would be enforced. Council member Danny Argo, in opposition to the ordinance, said it left out other important descriptions. The way this is written now, everything says unnecessary (noise), said Argo. Well, who determines unnecessary? I like music. Ive got to have music. To me, its necessary. Argo pointed out that local hotspots, like Coopers Cabana, might have to shut down if the ordinance was enforced. Argo lives near the establishment and says things get pretty noisy in his neighborhood. When Im my bedroom at night, its like Im in the Cabana, Argo said. He said, though it may be a nuisance, the night club brings a lot of business to Pittston and he would not want to see it shut down. City Clerk Joe Moskovitz said Coopers administrators approached the council requesting they consider an ordinance after noise citations from the state. According to Moskovitz, a city ordinance in place and enforced by Pittston officials would relieve Coopers from the citations be-
cause the state board will yield to the municipalitys jurisdiction. (The ordinance) gives you a city regulation that allows you to enforce locally, Moskovitz said. The truth is, we do support Coopers and the Cabana we do not want them to discontinue music. He said most municipalities in the county have similar ordinances and that officials pulled much of the language from Duryea Boroughs noise ordinance to craft the one currently on the table. Nina Biscotto, a resident, thinks the ordinance lacks a clear time element which is suspicious. She shared grievance with others in attendance, saying the city did not need any more rules and regulations. Argo drew a dark comparison. My mother was in Italy under the Nazi regime when they stopped music in the streets, he said. Thats why she came here, to get away from that stuff. Moskovitz said he understands the residents position. We dont believe in heavyhanded Gestapo enforcement, he said. "I understand that people dont want increased regulations. He also said a city cant tailor regulations to meet everyones wishes. Currently, the city has only the disorderly conduct charge to punish such nuisances. Police Chief Robert Powers said the ordinance would allow police officers to quell un-neigh-

borly residents without doling out a charge that could end up on a criminal record. I believe this is a good ordinance, he said. Concerning the ordinances lack of specificity, Moskovitz said it was written intentionally to allow the enforcing officers, police or code enforcement, to evaluate each incident on a case by case basis. In other business, the council hired Joseph Chacke of Bidlack Street in Forty Fort as Executive Director of the Department of Community Development. He will be paid $45,000 a year. Chacke replaces Jerry Mullarkey who retired.

West Pittston bank razed

The Bank of America facility was damaged in September flooding

By JOE HEALEY
The former Bank of America building on the corner of Wyoming and Luzerne avenues is no more. Demolition crews began tearing down the nearly 100year-old structure on Monday. James Kalafsky, senior scientist for Arcadis, the company handling the demotion, said the project is expected to take three months. The first phase of the project, which has already been completed, was to remove the asbestos, Kalafsky said. The current phase is demolition. The newest addition of the bank building and the drivethrough structure were demolished first. Next, the building that adjoins Agolinos Restaurant will be razed. The third phase will be to remove underground tanks. There was once a gas station on the property.
Kalafsky said the building was unable to be sold because of the mold infestation. It was pretty bad inside, he said. They couldnt even show it. Within days of the water receding, the Bank of America branch opposite Penn Mart on the hard-hit corner was back in business, thanks to two mobile banks with two teller windows and four ATMs parked in the banks parking lot. Manager Louise Balbach said at the time she was happy the bank got back in business quickly, especially since the building had been flooded with more than seven feet of water. Agolinos Restaurant, directly next door to the demolition site, was also damaged by the flood, but has since reopened. Before the building housed Bank of America, it was occupied by Fleet and West Side Bank.

through Federal Emergency Management Agencys Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. The properties are all located in a FEMA Special Flood Hazard area. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will provide 75 percent of the funding for approved properties, and the state will kick in 22 percent. The remaining 3 percent match may be covered by part of a federal allocation to the county to help repair damage from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee from the federal office of Housing and Urban Development Buyout offers will be presented to affected property owners this fall so the properties could be demolished this winter, Brozena said. Property owners can decide if they want to participate. Municipalities must agree to the submissions because local governments own and maintain the sites after the properties are demolished. These parcels may never be developed again. Brozena said the demolitions will leave noticeable cleared space, particularly in Jenkins Township. Rovinski has several ideas for

Rovinski said the area could be good for a driving range or chipping green. We dont have a good driving range in the Township, Rovinski said. Also, practice golfing is banned in most township parks. Other ideas hed support
would be a dog park or a community garden as no structures will be allowed on the affected properties. Im open to any ideas, he said. Id love to see the community get involved. The county submitted another 87 properties for $10 million in buyouts in a second application round, though approval will hinge on available funding and further analysis of the cost, Brozena said.

Kathy said a nun used to come in and buy a box of marshmallow ice cream cones to ship to her relatives. She also said there is a new trend of having a candy table at weddings, showers, class reunions and the like. I can just imagine the rich conversations generated by the Candy Buttons or a Skybar. Ive promised myself that next June, Im going to be ready for National Candy Month. By the way, on the Internet I discovered no less than 31 different national days related to candy. October happens to be National Caramel Month. Since Pittston Candy Inc. sells bags of 342 individually wrapped vanilla caramels for $9.90, Im laying in my supply tomorrow. Along with a licorice pipe for the October 12.
Day 23 A box of Candy Cigarettes. But now theyre called Candy Sticks. Must be politically correct, you know. Day 24 A Sugar Daddy. Day 25 An Oh! Henry. Day 26 A Fort Knox Gold Chocolate Coin. Day 27 A Sky Bar (four sections: caramel, vanilla, peanut, fudge). Day 28 A box of Red Hots. Day 29 A Marshmallow Ice Cream Cone. The box says theyve been making them since 1936. And, Day 30 A piece of Howards Violet Gum. Gotta freshen the breath. Pittston Candy Inc. owners Dick and Kathy Yaniello got a big kick out of my reactions to their candy selection. They say they got a lot of similar response.

Classic cars plus Do-Wop a win for downtown

jsmiles@psdispatch.com
By JACK SMILES
There will be a new twist to the monthly classic car show in the Tomato Lot on Saturday. Make that a Twist and a Stroll. The Scranton-based Do-Wop band The Magics will perform a show in conjunction with the car show on July 28. The car show opens at 5 p.m. and The Magics will start their set at 6 p.m. The Magics was founded in Scranton in 1959. In 1963 they had a hit record with Chapel Bells which reached number three in the Northeast part of the country. The song was written by The Monotones who had the smash hit Book of Love. Under the name The Precisions, the group also did background vocals for West Scranton singer Tommy Genova who had a local hit They Call Me the Lover. The group disbanded in the late 1960s. In the early 1990s they reunited with original members

Mike Lanzo and Ted Marsh, early members, Ted Santos, Dick Plotkin; and Paulette Costa forming the frontline of vocalists. The band consists of bassist and leader George Albrecht, of Pittston; lead guitarist, Pat
Hopkins; keyboardist Len Dobrzyn and drummer, Bob Petras, of Old Forge. Costa, who was the lead singer with The Gales, said after the bands reunion in the early 1990s, it disanded again briefly, but driven by its love for the music of the 1950s and 1960s, it reunited again three
years ago. A sampling of the playlist includes This Magic Moment, Denise, Johnny B. Goode, Little Star and, of course The Twist and The Stroll. Saturdays car show will be the fourth in a series which began in April after Ed Holleran and Carmen Timonte, both
of Pittston Township and officers of the Montage Classic Car Club, approached the city with the idea for a series. Holleran said he proposed the idea to help out the city. We want to bring business to the downtown, Holleran said.

City manager Joe Moskovitz said the show is the type of event the city is seeking. We were thrilled to hear their idea. The city wants more activity there than just the Tomato Festival. There is no issue of public safety with this group. Its a family-friendly event. In June, 93 cars were on display. One, a rare 1966 Lincoln, came all the way from Philipsburg, New Jersey. That was the
biggest of the show so far, but the group hopes to top that on Saturday. Holleran said during one show he walked over to Palazzos where some people were dining outside and invited them to come over to see the cars and they did. City councilman Joseph Chernouskas said the event is working for Pittston. Absolutely. Everybody you talk to in the businesses downtown is happy they are there. According to Chernouskas and Holleran, cooperation among the car club, city hall,
the parking authority and even the fire department, which provides restroom facilities, has been tremendous. The city street department is going to haul a band shell from Clarks Summit for the event. It used to belong to the city, Moskovitz said of the band shell. It predates me and I dont know the machinations of how it got up there. Some of the cars on display will feature vintage drive-in windows trays, picnic baskets and coolers. Its history on wheels, Timonte said.

Running with a new cause

By JOE HEALEY
Its a perfect fit, they said. The Pittston Tomato Festival 5K run needed a local charity and Miles for Michael needed an anchor event. Now theres a new name for the yearly Pittston race: The 14th Annual Miles For Michael Pittston Tomato Festival 5K Run. Mary Rossi, director of administration at Joyce Insurance and co-founder of Miles for Michael, said its all about the residents of the Greater Pittston area. Its a great fit, Rossi said. The Tomato Festival is about all about the people of Pittston. Miles for Michael is all about the local community too. Every penny we raise goes back to the community. Organizers for the run, set for Saturday, Aug. 18, will donate $4 from each entry fee collected to the Miles for Michael charity. To accommodate its new benefactor, the race raised its entry fee which is now $20 in advance and $25 after Aug. 1. The fee hasnt been increased since the race began 14 years ago, said Jay Duffy, organizer of the run. Its a tough economic environment, Duffy said. As a charity, its tough to raise money. Also, with Miles for Michael on board, well get an extra 15-20 volunteers from that organization. Duffy said last year the race had 280 participants and he hopes to go over the 300 mark this year. To help, the race will be conducted an hour earlier to avoid some of the late-morning heat. Runners like to run as early as possible, he said. And after the race we invite them all to enjoy downtown and the Tomato Festival, where theyll help stimulate the local economy. Created in memory of the late Michael Joyce, of Duryea, Miles for Michael provides support for cancer patients and their families While undergoing treatment
for his own cancer, Joyce became aware that the costs of dealing with the disease go far beyond what medical insurance covers. While he was in a position to handle those costs, his heart went out to others who could not. With the help of his four brothers, John, Joseph, William and David, family members and employees of Joyce insurance, Miles for Michael was born. In the latter stages of his battle with cancer, Michael managed to walk in the first event at Charley Trippi Stadium at Pittston Area High School. That event raised more than $100,000 which helped offset costs of travel, lodging and tolls for families who must go outside the area to receive cancer treatment. The fund is ongoing and families continue to be helped in Michaels name. Michael Joyce died 11 days later after the inaugural event. Registration for this years event begins at 8:30 a.m. at the

the top three male and female runners. Medals will be given to the first-place winner, male and female, in the following categories: 14 and under; 15-19; 20-24; 25-29; 30-34; 35-39; 40-44; 4549; 50-59; and 60 and over. The race starts on North Main Street in front of Finos Pharma-
cy and proceeds over the Fort Jenkins Bridge, down Susquehanna Avenue, back through Pittston. The race concludes down South Main and the finish line is at the Tomato Festival Grounds. Its a very challenging run, Duffy said. But fulfilling.

OUR OPINION
History website deserves kudos
We can attest to what Diane Plisga writes in her letter on this page. Bernie Stiroh of duryeapa.com put hundreds of miles on his car when gas was close to $4 traveling back and forth between the Dispatch office and his home in New Jersey on an almost daily basis for two weeks last month. He came here to look through back issues of the dispatch from the 1960s and 50s. He put in hours looking through the issues for Duryea references to scan with his hand held scanner. His friend and duryea.com contributor Mike Lizonitz also put in hours scanning thousands of old negatives. Anyway, if you havent checked out duryeapa.com, do it and you will be astonished. What Bernie and Mike did here with our archives and their scanners is just the tip of a very large iceberg of information and photographs on the site, which includes thousands of photos, documents and hundreds of yearbook pages. If it werent for duryeapa.com digitizing the stuff on the site, in time the many wonderful photographs would have been lost forever. We believe that Plisgas claim that it is not likely there is a website like it devoted to a small town anywhere in the country is right. And we doubt there is a man or women anywhere more devoted to his or her old hometown than Bernie Stiroh. Thats why we urge the Duryea council to take up Plisgas idea and honor Bernie, Mike and duryea.com in someway. If Plisga is right when she says she was told if you do it for one you have to do it for others we can assure the council there are no others doing what Bernie is doing for Duryea. Duryeapa.com is unique.
Seeks recognition for duryeapa.com founders

Duryea residents: Recently I sent a letter to the Duryea Borough Council to recognize Bernard Stiroh and Michael Lizonitz for their efforts and success in creating Duryeapa.com On Sunday, May 13, a letter from Duryeas Council President appeared in Your Opinion column of the Dispatch urging community involvement in moving Duryea forward. Residents were asked to identify Duryeas assets and opportunities. Because Im contacted by residents who want to contribute to the website, many have asked why the borough never recognized it for putting Duryea on the map. Nationwide, as far as is known there is no other city or town with a website of this extent offering thousands of photos and documents dating back from 1960, preserved for posterity and it continues. Bernard makes weekly trips from New Jersey to Pittston to scan Duryea memorabilia from the Dispatchs beginning. He also makes time to make contacts out of the area and in most instances travels to obtain materials. So many people, clubs, organizations, churches and establishments etc. have found much value in this undertaking and took time to locate items for the website. There has been praise from other towns and regrets for not having the same opportunity. Audrey Marcinko, Council President, was receptive to my request since she has contributed a substantial amount of photos and items, however, when my letter was read, it was shot down by council. Obviously they felt that it had no importance to the borough. One member was quoted as saying if you do it for one you have to do it for others. What an attitude for someone serving the people. I should hope that anyone with notable accomplishments would also receive recognition. How about all those people who for many years have volunteered their time to keep the park and organizations viable? The renovations to the council chambers are commendable. Framed historic pictures of old Duryea adorn the walls, with many contributed by Bernard. There is no other asset with no cost to the borough that Im aware of that compares to the enormity of this undertaking, considering the time, energy and finances expended. If the photos were part of Duryea.com Bernard replaced them if the originals were lost in the flood. My suggestion was to recognize Duryea.com and its founders with a plaque to be placed in the borough building. After all, there are awards and trophies that are displayed there. Before the community park was finished, a plaque was erected crediting council members. We are still seeking photos and articles, especially of Rocky Glen shows and excursions, picnics held over the bridge, river scenes, clambakes, outings, church and club activities, etc. When they became part of Duryea.com they are returned in a timely manner. Many times extra copies are included. Copies of official documents have been requested. Since the borough council would not recognize the website as an asset, perhaps there are interested residents who enjoy viewing the website and feel that there should be some recognition. From the individuals who support and appreciate Duryea.com to Bernard and Mike, our gratitude. Valuable family photos are easily destroyed and misplaced, colors fade and cannot be replaced. So much of history has been lost through fires and floods. There should be no reservations on preserving Duryeas history by crediting these local historians. Diane M. Plisga

MOTHERS DAZE
Fore-saken
As mothers, we tend to mark the passage of time in our lives by pregnancies. For instance: The start of the Gulf War? Pregnant with Baby # 1. The OJ Trial? Child #2. Everything that came after that? Child #3. Another way I mark time is by my husbands golf schedule. I just decided that we are married 25 years and he has probably spent a solid 12 of them on the golf course. And thats not hyperbole, people. Its a Heck Factoid. To blend the two time-markers of golf and pregnancy (and as a Heck, you are forced to), allow me to note that twice during my pregnancies I was in both the ICU and ER at different times and on both such occasions, Mr. Golfapotamus had to be hunted down and located by a man in a golf cart searching the entire course. When he appeared in the ER the first time, he actually said these words to me: Are you okay? Can I go back out? I mean, Ill never get the chance to play on that course again Thank God we were in a hospital; better to surgically extricate the 9 iron from his. You get the picture. When I make plans for us to do anything on the weekends, he protests: Ooohhhthats gonna be tough for me. Golfing Saturday. And Sunday. And next Tuesday. And possiblynext Thursday... As I morph into a premenopausal fire-breathing dragonette, he always proclaims: Oh, please. I NEVER get to golf. I want to punch him in the face. Never gets to golf? I know hes not on crystal meth because I think that would affect his golf game, but he is as deluded as an addict. Never golfs. Thats like saying I never talk. Or never sneeze. Or never go to the bathroom. But mostly, talk. Several years ago, after the same conversation, which like Christmas, comes around every season, I decided to note his tee times on the calendar. I stopped because I was unable to pencil-in any other appointments within the daily squares. Scribbles as far as the eye can see. Golf. Golf. Golf in the Poconos. Golf at Fox Hill. In Virginia. In outer space. And on it went. Endless. I keep explaining to himits not the golf game, per se, that makes me insane; its the eight extra hours of refreshments and Godknows-what that fills in the empty minutes immediately following the last hole that I have trouble with. Last Saturday, he left to golf at 7:30 a.m. and returned at midnight. If anyones counting thats longer than Congress was in session passing the health bill. Who can play a game with a ball and a stick for 16 solid hours? Who can do anything for 16 solid hours? When I gripe about it, he encourages me to

go do something I enjoy. By all means, he magnanimously insists, go shopping or something! Newsflash: no mall or outlet or shopping center in the state is open for 16 hours. I couldnt shop for four hours without killing myself and everyone before me holding a Bon Ton coupon. And, by the way, its hard to shop with no money! But apparently, its easy to golf with no money. I have no idea how but there he goes again. My mother-in-law hates when I grouse about golf. She tells everyone within earshot that he deserves to golf because he works so hard. Really? I guess I work mediocre-hard. Or barely-hard or hardly-hard at all. I suppose that after I work and make dinner and stay up until 1 a.m. finishing laundrythats not working hard. Shes right. Poor, poor Anthony deserves a break. He really does. In fact, I mostly want to break his hand. The one sheathed in a golf glove. Im finding less and less people to commiserate with me over this situation. Denise, my BFF who always, and I mean always, sympathizes with everything I bellyache aboutincluding my actual bellyacheshas crossed over to the dark side. When both her boys left for college, she decided to fill her child-free hours withyesTHAT. I could just puke. When I moan about the 16 hours he was gone yesterday and tell her I feel like a single mother, she just purses her lips and asks me to pass the Splenda. Wait a minute I ask suspiciously, why arent you agreeing with me? She explains: Listentake it from me. Its not you he wants to get away from. Its justyou knowthe nature of the beast. Its so much fun that you just lose track of time! Its crazy! Yeah. Crazy. He just ran upstairs, two steps at a time, to excitedly inform me that the British Open is at 4:30a.m. Andthank God we have a DVR! Anthony, I say, I have no idea what a British Open is. And, I dont give a darn. He patiently explained, like hes the only American in a roomful of foreign-speaking children: Its an Open, Maria. There are only four of these a year! FOUR! Its an amazing event. And I cant wait to wake up tomorrow to watch it! Wellat least I know where hell be if I decide to end up in the ER or ICU again. No one will have to fetch him off the golf course this time. Just off the couch. Yay. Golf. The gift that just keeps on givingme an ulcer.

The farmers markets are open and, hopefully, the fruits and vegetables will be plentiful to freeze. By freezing we can enjoy fruits and vegetables all year round. While freezing is simple, it does require following USDA recommendations to ensure a safe, high-quality frozen product. Penn State has easy-to-read fact sheets. Below tells you how you can receive a copy. Here is a summary of the steps to safely freezing vegetables. First, freeze the best. Use vegetables at peak flavor and texture. Pick or purchase at the market in the morning and freeze the veggies within a few hours. Next, wash them thoroughly in cold water and sort them according to size for blanching and packing. Its important to blanch some vegetables before freezing. Blanching stops the action of enzymes that can cause loss of flavor, color and texture. Blanching time is crucial and varies with the vegetable and its size. Under blanching stimulates the enzymes activity. Its worse than not blanching at all. And over blanching can cause the loss of flavor, color, vitamins and minerals. For specific blanching times, either call us or visit the web sites listed below. Boiling is the recommended way to blanch vegetables. Use one gallon of water per pound of vegetables. Put the vegetables in a blanching basket and lower them into vigorously boiling water. Place a lid on the pot and start counting blanching time as soon as the water returns to a boil. As soon as blanching is complete, cool the vegetables quickly to stop the cooking process by plunging the basket of vegetables immediately into a large quantity of cold water. Cool them as long as you have blanched them. Drain the vegetables completely after cooling. Next, pack the foods for freezing. Most foods require headspace to allow for expansion as they freeze. All packaged food should be at room temperature or cooler before you put it in the freezer. Last but not least, freeze fast. Quick freezing is best for frozen food quality. Spread the new packages around until theyre frozen. Then you can stack them. Label all foods with the name of the food, date and type of pack. Most fruits and vegetables will remain high quality for eight to 12 months. For more information visit the Penn State Food Safety Web site at:http:// foodsafety.psu.edu/preserve.html. There are numerous recipes, questions and answers on all types of food preservation. For a copy of the lets preserve series, call or email me at1-888-8251701 or mre2@psu.edu.

Peeking into the past
Marie Elena Malvivno from South Rose-La Pampa, Argentina, spent her senior year with the class of 68. Her interests were horseback riding and playing the piano. Her goal was to be a teacher. By her presence, she added so much to the atmosphere of St. Johns. She was hosted by the McNamara Family and resided with them on Broad Street. Mass at St. Michaels The junior religion class assisted at Byzantine Mass at St. Michaels Byzantine Church. Juniors were very impressed with communion given under two species and the unhurried devotion of the service.

A New York state law designed to protect lakes and watersheds limits fertilizer use. The new state law: Prohibits the use of phosphorus-containing lawn fertilizer unless establishing a new lawn or a soil test shows that the lawn does not have enough phosphorus. Prohibits the application of lawn fertilizer on impervious surfaces and requires pickup of fertilizer applied or spilled onto impervious surfaces. Prohibits the application of lawn fertilizer within 20 feet of any surface water except: where there is a vegetative buffer of at least 10 feet; or where the fertilizer is applied by a device with a spreader guard, deflector shield or drop spreader at least three feet from surface water. Prohibits the application of lawn fertilizer between December 1 and April 1. Requires retailers to display phosphoruscontaining fertilizers separately from non-phosphorus fertilizers and to post an educational sign where the phosphoruscontaining fertilizers are displayed. Mississippi has a new law that raises the alcohol-by-weight limit in beer from 5 percent to 8 percent. This law will expand the variety of beers sold in the state, especially craft beers. The prior law limited Mississippi to about 15 of the top 100 beer brands in the world.

Smoke signals new restaurant

WP caterer opens new restaurant
NEWS BUSINESS
By JOE HEALEY
Notice a smoky, BBQ smell in West Pittston? The mouth-watering aroma is likely the mega-smoker at West Pittstons newest eatery, B3Q Smokehouse. Co-owners Barry and Marci Hosier said their specialty is slow smoked pulled pork, beef brisket and baby back ribs. Marci said the eatery is new, but Barrys BBQ isnt. Hes been serving BBQ on a catering basis in Wyoming Valley since 2009 as Barbeque by Barry. He was also serving his BBQ once a month at Gobers Deco Lounge in Exeter. We just thought it was good time to open now, Marci said of the new restaurant. Two homemade sauces are featured: Barrys Signature Sauce is Kansas City-style sauce thats tomato based, similar to a traditional barbecue sauce. The Vinegar Sop sauce is North Carolina-style and vinegar based and tangy. They both have a little kick, Marci said, and both are delicious, adding that the couple is working on a sweet sauce. The smoker in the back of the building is impressive. The Oyler 700 made by J &R Manufacturing can smoke 1000 pounds of meat, Marci said. B3Q Smokehouse began serving customers out of the 200 Wyoming Ave. location on Wednesday, July 11, but the Hosiers plan a grand opening from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 28 that will feature samples, cake and lessons in how slow smoking works. The eatery will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. or until sold out Tuesday through Saturday. She said the first day the business opened, they sold out before they closed, so calling ahead for takeout orders is recommended.

TONY CALLAIO/THE SUNDAY DISPATCH
The Hosiers have been married for 18 years. Barry is a West Pittston native, but the couple moved away for time. We came back to put down roots and raise our family here, Marci said. Were very pleased to be able to open a business in our hometown, Barry said. The September flooding was devastating and we hope to do our part to make West Pittston a vibrant community again. The business is located at the former location of Colella Chiropractic, which moved after the building was damaged by floodwaters in September. The Hosiers completely remodeled the building before opening.

W. Wyoming chief, ex-chief charged

By JOE HEALEY
The West Wyoming police chief and the former chief were arrested Friday on charges they stole over $40,000 by being paid twice with borough funds on numerous occasions. Police said $41,449 was stolen in the form of extra paychecks and an inflated pension. Current Chief Stanley Michael Sipko, 42, of Dupont, is charged with one county of felony theft and former chief David James Gashi, 68, of Harding, is charged with two. Borough council president Eileen Cipriani said Sipko was immediately placed on paid administrative leave. Sipko and Gashi were arraigned before District Judge Joseph Carmody in West Pittston and released on $10,000 unsecured bail. When discrepancies were found in the West Wyoming finances in 2009, then borough manager Tom Loftus was fired and never charged. Loftus died in December 2009, about a month after he was terminated. I cant say with certainty, but I believe (Loftus) had received some payments as well, State Police Trooper Tom Kelly told The Times Leader. According to police, in January 2010 Cipriani and Councilman Gary Stavish reported to state police irregularities in boroughs payroll accounts. They told police Sipko and Gashi received double pays they were not entitled to collect between 2005 and 2009. Also, Gashi received pension money he was not entitled to since his pension was calculated by his salary. State police reviewed the officers contract, signed checks and the time and attendance records of both officers and asked an agent from the state Auditor Generals office to conduct a financial investigation.
Sipko interviewed
ing $12,991. He was told his bank records didnt indicate cash going out to pay back the advance. Police said Sipko stated, All payments were made before the next advance. He told police he had additional receipts/bank statements at home but never provided them.

ed in 1999 and ended in 2009. Sipko said there were no witnesses when he gave cash to Loftus and he never got a receipt. Sipko said he was in a bad financial situation at the time and detailed his expenses to police. Agent Nate Lipton of the state Auditor Generals office reviewed Sipkos bank accounts and West Wyoming accounts and determined Sipko received a total of $12,991 in additional compensation for which he was not entitled. Lipton determined Sipko was experiencing financial difficulties because of payments he was making to debt
collection and credit counseling agencies. Lipton said Sipkos claim that he paid back the money was false. Several months later, Sipko was interviewed by police again. He was asked about paying income tax on the pay advances he received. Sipko said he never thought about that and when he reviewed his W-2 at the end of the year, he didnt notice the advances were included in his income. He also said he didnt realize the advances would inflate his pension calculation Sipko was shown 12 instances where he was paid twice, total-
Police said there were 22 instances where Gashi received advances/duplicate pays between 2005 and 2008, but police only accused Gashi of depositing nine checks, totaling $13,699, into his personal bank account. Police interviewed Gashi on Nov. 11, 2012. Gashi said that in November 2008, he was offered a $19,000 buyout, along with additional pay for 60 accumulated sick days and four weeks of vacation time by representatives of West Wyoming Borough, although he had already taken four weeks vacation that year. He said he accepted the offer and retired in early 2009.
Gashi denied knowledge of any double pay and of how he received the funds. He also denied asking Loftus for any type of loan advance in his pay. He said he didnt use any vacation time from 2005 to 2009 and if he needed time off, he used personal and holiday time owed to him. When interviewed again, Gashi admitted to being overpaid once. Gashi said he questioned Loftus about it, but Loftus told him, just take it; its for vacation time. Police asked Gashi if he thought it was wrong to take the additional pay check. Gashi told police, Yes, this time I did. He said he used that money to pay his taxes, but police said there are no bank records to support his statement. Police asked Gashi if his wife, Virginia, knew anything about the extra pay. He replied, She had nothing to do with this. Because of the extra paychecks, Gashis pension was inflated by $343 a month and he received $14,759 more than he should have.

Peeking into the past

Mary Jane Gilroy won a trophy for her efforts at the French Verb Contest sponsored by Kings College. Answer to question 2 Le Corbeau et le Renard Maitre corbeau Sur un arbre est perche Tenait en son bec Du fromage May 68 Seniors vs. Faculty The seniors met the faculty for an invigorating basketball game. The score was: 39-31 in favor of the seniors. Sports Banquet Frank Crossin was the guest speaker at the annual Sports Award Dinner. He was a three year star basketball player with the University of PA. Father Healey was the sports moderator. Paul Leonard was head basketball and baseball coach. This year, the Johnnies were undefeated in baseball. 74 athletes were honored. Sister Stella Maris was the moderator for the cheerleaders and Sister Anna Rose was moderator for the girls basketball team
songs, bible readings and an enlightened talk by Father Casey were on the agenda. December, 67 Class Rings On Tuesday, Dec. 19, the seniors received their most valued keepsake of their high school years their class rings. The day commenced with a folk mass at 10:30 after which the rings were blessed and given to students. The class then proceeded to the Gramercy Restaurant for dinner. Afterwards, Christmas carols were sung by the entire group. The festivities ended and the seniors journeyed home wearing on their finger the ring that would, in the future, be the most cherished symbol of their happy memories at St. Johns. National Honor Society Character, Leadership, Scholarship and Service are the four basic principles of the National Honor Society. Service to others was featured strongly through the special tutoring service set up by moderator, Sister Cornelian, to help students with their weaker subjects. Christmas Formal One of the biggest highlights of the year listed on the social calendar for St. Johns was its annual Christmas formal. The theme for the year was: Holiday Happening. Presented under the auspices of the English Department, the gala affair was in the hands of Mr. Hanify, Mrs. Monichelli with Mary Susan Loughney and Nadine Holleran as chairwoman and co-chairwoman. Basketball Tournament The Johnnies were in Scranton to participate in the annual Holy Cross Tournament. The Johnnies were up against Dunmore Central Catholic. The Johnnies of Coach Paul Leonard relied on the sharp shooting of forward Brian Doyle and the inside work of Billy Renfer for most of their attack. January 68 Bowling Tournament In order to promote a diversified array of sports at St. Johns, the Boys Club, under
the direction of Mr. Wozniak, sponsored a bowling tournament open to all students in the school. February 68 Apostolic Work The second period religion class under the direction of Sister Joseph Marie chose to perform some lay apostolic work for the many people of this community. Their venture centered on the donation of food baskets for needy families. Suzanne Mauriello and Theresa Kolmansperger directed this mission and delivered the baskets. April 68 Folk Mass for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. To honor the civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a folk mass was held. The students assembled in church to pay their respects to the noble leader and to pray for a peaceful remedy to the civil rights situation. French Verb Contest

parishes paid half tuition for members of their church. Monsignor Super was one of those pastors who will long be remembered for his generosity in promoting Catholic Education and trusting the students to walk across the street with $62.50 in cash.

Columnist has fond memories of Father Rokosz

Last week was a sad time for many of us in Duryea as we said goodbye to the Rev. Charles Rokosz, the long-time pastor of Nativity of Our Lord Parish. While Father Rokosz was not my pastor, I enjoyed receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation from him. And I can honestly say, each time I received this sacrament from him, I would walk out of Holy Rosary Church feeling as if I just did the best thing in the world. While the obvious reason I felt so good was because I was in a state of grace, the other variable that factored into this happiness was the kindness of Father Rokosz. My confession is pretty much the same each time I go and I appreciate the words of absolution every priest has ever given me. But going to Father Rokosz for confession was different. Instead of just absolving me of my sins and asking me to say the Act of Contrition, he would first tell me what a good job I did confessing my sins and how beautifully I did it. To my knowledge, I didnt say anything extra special during those sessions, but Father Rokosz sure made it seem that way. And that made me feel great! While I know Im not the only person he complimented this way (many have shared similar experiences with me), he had the gift of making it seem that way. That is a special gift and something I will always treasure.

Big tourney for a Little League

Pittston Twp. hosting state 10-11 all-stars
By JACK SMILES
Sports
PAGE 34
At the end of a meeting of District 16/31 Little League presidents last winter, district administrator Fred DeSanto said the combined districts were eligible to host a state-wide tournament and asked, Anybody interested? It just popped into my head, said newly-elected Pittston Township Little League president Carmen Sciandra. Why not, lets do it. I looked around the room and I was the only one with my hand up. Everybody looked at me like I was nuts. Nuts or not Sciandra committed the Pittston Township Little League to host the Pennsylvania State 10/11 Boys Little League Baseball Tournament. Sciandra and Tom Tigue, Brian Elko, Gary Baiera, Nick Cardinale, John Walsh, Tom Connors a handful other volunteers and the Pittston Township Little League Ladies Auxiliary went to work organizing the tournament. When I was elected ,someone told me 10 percent of the people will do 90 percent of the work, Sciandra said. I think its five percent doing 95. But thats okay. We have a good group of mothers and fathers who put in time. Those months of work come to fruition this week when the week-long tournament opens Friday, July 27 at the Leagues field on Bryden Street with eight championship 10-11 year old allstar teams, one from each of the eight Pennsylvania Little League Sections, vying for the 10-11 year old state championship. One of the teams entered will be the champion of NEPAs Section 5

tournament, either North Pocono, Wallenpaupack, Mountain Top or Back Mountain. It is estimated the tournament could bring 300 people from all over the state to the area. The two first round games on Friday will be the first of 15 that will be played over the next week. The championship game is Thursday, Aug. 2. One thing Sciandra learned early in the process is that things are different than when the league last hosted a state tourney in 1986. People are busier now, spread thinner and there are more causes soliciting time and money. They were able to provide accommodations for the teams
then, Sciandra said. The Yatesville bus company was around then and provided transportation to the games. Sciandra and the committee, through emails to the state sections and in a program printed by Pittston Printery, provided a list of local accommodations highlighting Marriott Springhill Suites on Montage Mountain which will give back $5 for each room rented for the tournament. On his own, Sciandra had hat pins made with crossed bats over a shield identifying the state tourney. The league is trying to reduce the cost of running the tourney by selling personalized team T-shirts for players and their families, a difficult task
since it wont be known which teams are coming until Sunday night when the eight section championship games around the state are played. The Ladies Auxiliary will operate the concession stand. The committee went to its league team sponsors and families and local businesses for help. Nobody said no, Sciandra said. Among the businesses which said yes are Chris Ghilchrist of the Pittston Diner, Latona Chiropractic, Colella Chriopractic, Atty Girard Mecadon, Atty Dave Smacci of DLP Law, Polit & Costello Dental, Sabatinis, Savos and Lizzas, just to name a few. Each player will get a goodies
bag which, among other things, will include coupons for Sno Cove Water Park on Montage Mountain. The township supervisors are helping with the expense of tents and portable toilets. Pittston Township Ambulance EMS Don Hudzinski arranged for a certified EMS for each game, along with a medical tent and a cooling fan. Geisinger 303 Medic will have an ambulance on site. Entertainment options for down time and younger siblings of the players include a pitch machine, whiffle ball games and home run derby.
See STATE, Page 35
State
Sciandra is arranging for a team from each local Little League to throw out a game first pitch and working out ways to honor local district championship teams like the Duryea/Avoca/Pittston Township D-16 9-10 and Jenkins Township/Duryea/ Pittston Township 10-11 softball championship teams. The schedule calls for two games on Friday, three on both Saturday and Sunday two on each Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and the championship game on Thursday. Pittston Township will provide six volunteers for each game - a grounds keeper, scorekeeper, pitch counter, announcer and two trouble shooters who will walk around providing assistance and answering questions. The township field bleachers seat 300 and standing room around the field and on the hill in left field can accommodate thousands. There will be parking in Attardo Park, on the site of the old township picnic grounds and on the streets. Sciandra is impressed by Little League families. Im amazed by the amount of travel and expense families will go through for Little League. He said an opportunity like this for a local league doesnt come up often. Hes probably right. In the last sentence in the story about the 1986 state tournament then Pittston Township Little League president Fred DeSanto said, This may not happen for another 20 years. It took 26.

Junior Legion falls in playoffs, finish 20-7

The Greater Pittston Junior Legion Baseball Team was eliminated from the post-season in the semi- final round of the league playoffs by Nanticoke Area, 5-4 at Roosevelt Field. GP tied the game at one in the home second when with two outs. Marty Cirelli walked and stole second. Corey Lescavage then delivered a run scoring single to leftfield. The game stayed tied until the bottom of the fourth when Marty Michaels reached on a single, Cirelli was hit by a pitch and Lescavage walked to set the table for Evan Musto who sent a twostrike two-run single to centerfield to boost GP to a 3-1 lead. Nanticoke reclaimed the lead in the fifth when they scored three unearned runs to take 4-3 lead. The damage could have been worse as Musto threw behind the runner at first base picking him off and ending the inning. In the home sixth, Cirelli led off with a single and stole second before scoring on another RBI single by Lescavage. Musto then laid down a sacrifice bunt advancing Lescavage to second and producing the second out of the inning. Louis Tazamalas then delivered a clutch line drive single to leftfield scoring Lescavage with the go-ahead run. The visitors then reclaimed the lead in the seventh pushing two runs across the plate which eventually would turn out to be the winning runs and sending Nanticoke to the Championship game against Swoyersville. Lescavage allowed only one earned run through 4 2/3 innings of work and did not walk a batter. GP finished the season at 20-7, with five of the seven losses to the teams in the championship game. They lost to Nanticoke three times, twice by one run, and to Swoyersville twice, once by one run. Greater Pittston advanced in the WVL Playoffs with a onerun win over their rival from Plains. It was the third time this year that GP defeated Plains. Nick Gushka laced a two run single in the home first and that would be all they needed as sound defense and strong pitching led the way. Starter Kyle Charney went 3 2/3 innings and did not give up an earned run while allowing one walk. Marty Michaels then recorded the save relying on his fastball and some athletic fielding from the hill as he recorded six of the last 10 opponent outs himself. Michaels also had a double.

Lets play baseball THE SMILES FILES scoreboard detective

Before there were smart phones, before there were computers and an internet, before there was Sportcenter, heck, before there was even cable TV , baseball fans in Pittston could follow the progress of every major league baseball game in real time on the baseball scoreboard at La Torres Pool Room on South Main Street. Take a look at the scoreboard pictured here. Mike Lizonitz scanned a negative to create this digital photo. He emailed it to Bernie Stiroh of duryeapa.com who in turn emailed it to me. Notice how John Day Gargone is updating the scoreboard with the information hes getting from a Teletype receiver. At first glance it would seem there is no way to tell when the photo was taken. But a closer look reveals there are two clues on the board which immediately tells us the photo has to be from 1955, 56 or 57. Can you guess what those clues are? Take a look before you read on. Okay, now, there are three words on the scoreboard which narrow the date of the photo to 55, 56 or 57 Brooklyn and Kansas City. The Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles after the 1957 season. The Philadelphia Athletics moved to Kansas City after the 1954 season. So the photo has to be from 1955, 56 or 57. After narrowing the photo down to the three years 1955-56-57 from the clues on the board and using the 2012 version of the Teletype receiver, the internet, it is possible to pin-point, not only the year, but the exact day and to make a pretty could guess at the time of day when the photo was taken. The photo was taken on Wednesday, May 23, 1956 most likely between three and four oclock in the afternoon. Look at the line score of the game Gargone is updating by putting up two runs for the Cleveland Indians in the bottom of the seventh inning. Note the game is in Cleveland because Cleveland in on the bottom of the line score. Note under the names of the teams on the line score is the word BATT which is short the battery, a baseball term for the pitcher and catcher. Note the pitchers are Score for Cleveland and that his record going into the game was 4-3, as indicated in parenthesis, and Sullivan for Boston whose record was 3-0. At retrosheet.org I clicked on the game log for the Cleveland Indians in 1955 and looked for a game in Cleveland where the Indians played Boston and Score and Sullivan pitched. I found such a game in 1955, but it didnt fit the clues of the pitchers records or the score of the game. I looked in 1956 and there on May 23 was another game where Score and Sullivan pitched. Cleveland won the game 6-3. Note on the photograph that it was 6-0 after seven innings. As Gargone puts the 2 up in the bottom of the seventh, the top of the eighth is already in progress and he knows this, because he has written Mossi after the name Score on the BATT line. Not sure if you can see this, but its there. I learned by looking at the box score that Mossi relieved Score with one out in the top of the eighth. May 23 was a Wednesday. The game was a day game. It took 2:39 to play. I dont know what time it started, but it was very likely at 1 or 2 oclock. Lets say that after the seventh inning we were two hours into the game, so two hours from one is three and two hours from two is four, so the picture was taken between three and four oclock that afternoon. By the way, La Torres wasnt going through the trouble of running such a comprehensive scoreboard just to keep sports fans informed. You can probably guess what the board was for.

Dads legacy lifts him up where he belongs

Fred Lokuta sets state bench press record
WEIGHT LIFTING
By JACK SMILES
When Fred Lokuta set a new state bench press record in the Masters Division 148 lb. weight class, his late father was there helping him lift the load. Thats what Lokuta believes. My Dads name was Fred, too, Lokuta said. When I was in
high school, I was on the wrestling team and he was my biggest fan and advocate. He expected that I work hard and earn what I was able to achieve. He used to say to me, picture yourself doing things that other people would not dream possible. "I try to live life with those words as my vision. He passed away unexpectedly in 2005 and not a day goes by that I dont miss
him. "My only thought on Saturday after breaking the record was wishing he had been there physically with me and how much I miss him. Lokuta set the record on July14 atBrownsGyminClarksSummit at a USA Powerlifting sanctioned event by benching 276 pounds. The previous state record weight was 259. Whats next for Lokuta? Id like to shoot for the national record sometime this year which is 292 pounds. Lokuta, 51, lives in Dupont where he was born and raised. He wrestled in high school at Pittston
Area. I have had a lifelong commitment to fitness, Lokuta said. For the past11years, I have participated in bench press competitions. "I have been lifting weights since age14 and will probably be doing so at 84, God willing. Competition helps me stay focused and goal driven. I frequent Planet Fitness daily, sometimes two or three times.
Fred Lokuta, of Dupont, displays a medal he won for setting a state record in the bench press.

OBITUARIES
Alice Seidel
July 16, 2012 Alice Seidel completed her long journey through life and went home to be with those who went before her Monday, July 16, 2012, at Little Flower Manor in Wilkes-Barre. Alices life had many rewards and challenges, all of which she met head on. She was born June 21, 1917, in Miners Mills, the ninth of 10 children born to John Finn and Anna Burke Finn. Her parents being pioneers in the soda industry, having started the Finns Bottling Works, brought Alice in at an early age as a bottle washer. After attending school in Wilkes-Barre, and leaving the bottling works, she started her work in the retail field at Neisners Department Store. She met Joseph, her first husband, at Pat Tooles Inn in Bear Creek. The Tooles being relatives, she would frequent the inn with her friends and listen to the bands. Joe playing trumpet in one of the bands caught Alices eye, and to the tune Stormy Weather they fell in love, married on January 28, 1940, and brought four children into the world; sadly God called her youngest and only son, Joseph, home at the tender age of six weeks. Seeing her children heading into independence, Alice felt the need to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming a nurse. She entered the first Licensed Practical Nursing School of Wilkes-Barre and began the career she always felt called to do, caring for people as a nurse. Her first job at the WilkesBarre General Hospital gave her so many fulfillments. Recognizing her abilities, Alice was asked to be the first LPN to work the new Intensive Care Unit at the General. During this time her beloved Joe passed away on November 5, 1974. Her work filled the space left by an aching heart. Leaving the General, Alice took a post at the VA Hospital in Wilkes-Barre, where she stayed until her retirement. She met Al Seidel at this time, and allowed her heart to once again enter into the world of love and sharing. They married August 24, 1982. Although they were granted only 10 years together, they were years filled with adventure, travel, shared love and respect. She lost Al on July 18, 1992. Alice spent the remainder of her years surrounded by family, friends, and great memories. Preceding Alice, and waiting for her besides her parents, husbands and son, are her granddaughter, Tara Ann Sowul; brothers, John, James, Thomas Joseph, Thomas and Gerald Finn; sisters, Agnes McCartney, Mary Fallon, and Jane Letchko. Surviving Alice and keeping her memory alive are her daughters, Mary Jo (Matthew) Sowul, Colts Neck, N.J.; Ann (Jack) Morgan, Hanover Township; and Alice (Thomas) Gilmore, West Pittston; eight grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; step-children, Richard Seidel, West Pittston; Robert, Duryea; Neil (Melinda) Evansville, Ind.; Carolyn (Thomas) Gibbon, Hanover Township; eight step-grandchildren; 14 step-great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews. The family of Alice would like to give a heartfelt thank you to all who cared for her at Little Flower Manor in WilkesBarre. They do not have staff working, there they have angels. Funeral was held Thursday, July 19, 2012, in the Corcoran Funeral Home Inc., 20 S. Main St., Plains Township, with a Mass of Christian Burial in St. Benedict Parish, St. Dominics Church, 155 Austin Ave., Wilkes-Barre. Interment was in Sacred Heart Cemetery, Plains Township.
