His name is Grigore and hes
the only Grigore Ive ever met.
You pronounce it like so:
Gree (rhymes with glee) and
Gore (rhymes with door).
But thats only if you are an
American. I pronounced it that
way just once.
If you roll your Rs and add
an ay (as it hay) on the end,
you can come close to pro-
nouncing Grigore the right way,
the way Grigore does. I have to
work at it but I strive to do so.
A person deserves to have his
name said the way it is meant to
be said.
Grigore is from Romania.
Except for a couple of years
spent back in his native country,
hes lived in America for the
past 13 years, ever since he and
his younger brother were adopt-
ed and brought to this country.
He was 16 then.
Grigore is a student of mine
at the community college, but
how he wound up in that role is
just another of those things I
can only chalk up to the hand
of God at work in my life. See,
at the beginning of the semester
Grigore enrolled in a class that
in my wildest dreams I would
not have pictured myself teach-
ing.
It is a speech class, a subject
I have taught in the past and
occasionally do in the summer
but havent during a regular
semester in more than 10 years.
But the person teaching class, a
dear friend of more than 20
years, needed emergency sur-
gery about a month into the
semester and would not be able
to return. Stuck for a replace-
ment, the speech department
turned to me and while the
meeting time of the class was
somewhat inconvenient, I knew
it was necessary to say yes.
Besides, I thought, whenever
you do the right thing theres a
gift in it for you. Grigore is the
gift.
Hes not the only one. The
class is filled with interesting
students of all ages and I am
enriched by each. But especial-
ly Grigore.
The first time I met him and
learned of his background I
asked him what he missed most
about life in Romania. The
slow-paced lifestyle, he said. I
then asked what he missed
least. The government con-
trol, he responded without
hesitation. They turn off the
electricity every night at 6
oclock.
Grigore is a dad, father of a
two-year-old, and to see his
face light up when he talks
about his son is to know he is a
good dad. Talking about his son
is Grigores favorite thing to do.
We do that a lot, he and I, most
recently late Tuesday afternoon
standing in the hallway by my
office long after the class had
ended.
Grigore talked about caring
for his son and how easy it has
been to put his boy first and
himself last. He said he and his
wife, also of Romania, often
say to each other as they ob-
serve the life they are able to
provide for their son, a life so
different from the one they
knew as children, they wish
they could be their own child.
Grigore did not know it but
my conversation with him was
appropriate to what was to be a
theme Tuesday evening: father-
hood.
I had a six oclock meeting
scheduled with my friend Joe
DeLucca to discuss a program
hes put together for Saturday,
Dec. 1, at the Pittston Area
Middle School. Its called A
Day 4 Dads.
Like Grigore, Joe, who has
three sons, takes his fathering
seriously. Joe also knows that
while it might be the most re-
warding job a man can under-
take, its also the most difficult.
Saturdays event is designed to
make it a little easier.
The theme is protecting our
kids from todays toxic culture,
but the tenor will be simply the
role of a dad in a sons life.
I didnt mention Grigore to
Joe but he was on my mind all
the while we spoke. Boys need
role models if they are going to
grow up to be men of character,
Joe said. Grigore, like Joe De-
Lucca, is such a role model.
When Joe arrived Tuesday
evening for our meeting, he
handed me a book he is read-
ing: Better Dads, Stronger Sons
by Rick Johnson.
I flipped it open and came to
this quote by Preston Gillham
at the start of Chapter 11:
Boys become men by watch-
ing men, by standing close to
men. Manhood is a ritual
passed from generation to gen-
eration with precious few spo-
ken instructions. Passing the
torch of manhood is a fragile,
tedious task. If the rite of pas-
sage is successfully completed,
the boy-become-man is like an
oak of hardwood character. His
shade and influence will bless
all those who are fortunate
enough to lean on him and rest
under his canopy.
Grigores son cannot compre-
hend it yet, but he is so lucky.

Joseph Patrick McDonnell
was 21 when he graduated
from Pittston Township High
School in 1947. He wasnt a
bad student. He was a good
soldier. McDonnell, 86, spent
what should have been his se-
nior year in
high school
fighting in
World War II
in Europe.
The fifthof
13 children of
Joe and Mar-
tha McDon-
nell, of
Browntown,
the younger
Joe, or Jo-
sey as he
was called,
was drafted
into the Ar-
my when he
turned 18 in
1944 near the
end of his ju-
nior year. His
father was
the coal min-
er son of Irish
immigrants
and his moth-
er was Penn-
sylvania Dutch.
After basic training at Fort
Riley, Kansas, McDonnell
went to Camp Shanks, New
York, from where he shipped
out to Glasgow, Scotland
aboard the Queen Mary. After
a train ride to Southampton,
England he was shipped by
boat to Le Havre, France, ar-
riving after the D-Day inva-
sion.
He was assigned to 101st
Calvary Reconnaissance
Squadron, Troop Cattached to
the 5th Armored, a tank divi-
sion. Assigned to Reconnais-
sance, or recon in Army par-
lance, McDonnell was a scout.
This meant going ahead of the
tanks and infantry, sometimes
as far as 10 miles, to evaluate
enemy strength and identify
targets. They would do the
shooting for us, McDonnell
said. We would do the scout-
ing for them. Sometimes wed
get in a predicament where
youd have to shoot.
Troop C found itself in that
predicament for three months.
We fought for 92 days, non-
stop, McDonnell said.
Among the legendary bat-
tles his troop fought in was the
Battle of the Bulge, a German
surprise attack in December
1944. In the Bulge, we were
behind the 28th division. They
got slaughtered and we were
right behind them.
McDonnell said the human
carnage he witnessed is hard to
describe. You look around
and theres one of your bud-
dies, hes froze and he dont
have no head. I seen a guy get
blown out of a tank. He was a
friend of mine. This is what
you see. This is the way life is.
When you get home, you get
jumpy. It takes a long time to
wear off.
Some of what McDonnell
saw - judging by the look on
his face and the way he hesitat-
ed to describe scenes - never
wore off. The 101st Calvary
was among the first units to re-
ach the concentration camps
near Landsberg, Bavaria after
it had been liberated by the
12th Armored.
We saw piles of bodies as
high as houses. They werent
all dead; you could hear them
moaning, but you couldnt pull
them out because youd pull
their arms off.
With that, McDonnell hesi-
tated. He lowered his eyes and
said, I saw the furnaces.

Pittston Mayor Jason Klush
said he is keeping with his cam-
paign promise of reduced taxes.
The Homestead exclusion
represents the first meaningful
real estate property tax reduc-
tion to Pittston city taxpayers in
decades or longer, Klush said.
Luzerne County and the Pitt-
ston Area School District offer
a similar Homestead tax break.
District residents pay on aver-
age $106 less and Luzerne
County offers an approximate-
ly $52 discount.
Council also raised the citys
Earned Income Tax from1 per-
cent to 1.5 percent, a measure
that was included as part of
Home Rule. The extra half per-
cent is expected to bring in an
additional $500,000.
City manager Joe Moskovitz
said insurance and pension
costs have increased signifi-
cantly.
The Homestead exclusion represents
the first meaningful real estate prop-
erty tax reduction to Pittston city tax-
payers in decades or longer.

Pittston Council on Wednes-
day night passed the first read-
ing of a $6.9 million budget
that holds the line on taxes and
offers qualified homeowners
an average of $100 in property
tax savings.
The tax rate will remains at
6.85 mills, or a $6.85 tax on
each $1,000 of assessed proper-
ty value.
The proposed $6,990,073
million balanced spending plan
is up $727,495 from 2012.
The recently passed Home
Rule charter allows for a
Homestead exemption, which
will allow a property owner
who lives in a primary resi-
dence in Pittston to deduct
$15,000 from the propertys as-
sessment when computing city
property taxes. The savings
amounts to an average discount
of $102.75 for each eligible
property.
Those two areas are of con-
cern to the administration,
Moskovitz said.
He said theyre of concern
because they are out of the
citys control.
He said insurance costs are
on the rise.
A number of frivolous law-
suits filed against the city dur-
ing difficult economic times is
part of the explanation, Mos-
kovitz said.
He said the city is forming a
safety committee in 2013 to re-
duce workers compensation
incidents and improve safety
procedures.
The goal, Moskovitz said,
would be lower insurance costs.
He added the pension strug-
gle is coming home to roost,
indicating the citys contribu-
tion to pensions is in excess of
$250,000.
Its becoming a serious
stress to the operating budget,
Moskovitz said.

These students are taking the
bullying by the horns.
Four Pittston Area students
told the school board Tuesday
night they are forming an anti-
bullying club in the high school.
Student Brittney Giambra said
Zero Conflict will be an organi-
zation where kids can feel free
to express themselves
and talk to one anoth-
er.
The group was
originally started in
Parkway Middle
School inMissouri by
students Joey Gold-
man and Meghan
Mudd.
Pittston students
contacted Parkway
officials and received
moredetails about the
program.
We felt the need in
our school to become
more aware of the problems bul-
lying can cause, Giambra said.
Principal John Haas intro-
duced the students, who came to
himwith this brilliant idea.
It really shows the values of
the Pittston Area students, Haas
said. Its students holding them-
selves accountable.
Pittston Area student Tim Al-
len said the group will be open to
all students towhere we canbe a
mashup of all clubs.
Hesaidthegrouprequests per-
mission for fundraising and get-
ting organizational support from
the school to conduct assemblies
and hang posters.
Slogans like, Bystanders
dont suffer in silence by a by-
standers silence causes suffer-
ing will be used, Allen said.
For our members, all we re-
quire is their devotionanda com-
mitment to sign a contract say-
ing, If I see bullying, I will do
something about it.
Student KristenSanteytoldthe
boardtheprogramwouldeventu-
ally make its way into the lower
schools in the district.
Wed like to get more student
involvement, she said. From
the bottomall the way to the top.
Wedstart it at ayoungage, where
a lot of such problems start.
She said there will be big kick-
off event.
We will define the future and
determine history, she said.
Changeisuponis. Our driveand
determinationwill never die. Our
persistence and perseverance
will never stop.
Superintendent Michael Gar-
zella noted how proud he was of
the students.
Theyre stepping forward and
trying to change the
culture, Garzella said.
This is not a club, this
is a culture change.
The board also
granted permission for
advisor James Blas-
kiewicz to attend the
Olweus Bullying Pre-
vention Program
Trainer Certification
Course on Dec. 5-7 in
Mechanicsburg.
He will nowbe cer-
tified to instruct other
school districts, Gar-
zella said.
Cherise Tillman told the board
the group has 175 names.
After the meeting, members of
the school board signed the con-
tract.
Bullying has been in the fore-
front of school district discus-
sions after several incidents over
the past months.
Two student suicides occurred
in the district. Although they we-
rent linked directly to bullying,
many said bullying was a prob-
lemin the district.
Also, theschool boardhiredan
outside lawyer to probe allega-
tions of a district teacher belit-
tling a student.
The unnamed teacher was for-
mally reprimanded according to
union contract after telling a stu-
dent, Its day13andI cant stand
you already. The exchange was
recorded on a students cell
phone.
A letter from the teachers
union to teachers that spoke of
parent "inadequacies" stirred a
separatecontroversy. UnionVice
President RoccoDAngelosent a
letter to union members saying,
"It is of utmost importance to
conduct ourselves in a profes-
sional manner," and warning
"since we all get painted with the
same brush by the public lets try
giving them nothing negative to
paint with. "I fear that students
and parents will now, more than
ever try to implicate us in their
misplaced blame for their own
inadequacies as parents."
AndPittstonresident Michelle
Kovach, a parent of a former Pitt-
ston student, told the board last
monthanemotional storyof how
her daughter was bulliedsobadly
atPittstonArea, she had to pull
her out and enroll her in a cyber
school, and of a school adminis-
tration that looked the other way.
In other business, the board:
Announceda reorganization
meeting and the next regular
school board meeting will be
held at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 4.
Appointed Photography by
Andy as school photographer for
the 2012-2013 school year at no

Most likely arriving by car-
riage or trolley and working by
gaslight, 19 men met in Pittston
100 years ago next month to
form the Loyal order of Moose
Lodge 1207.
Among them were J. Grant
High, the national director of the
24-year-old service organiza-
tion, and a committee from the
Wilkes-Barre Lodge, including
secretary J. G. Jones, who elect-
ed these Pittston officers: Elmer
Rozelle, past dictator; Charles
Stroh, dictator; D. J. Waldoner,
vice dictator; Harold Casper,
secretary; Bert Tennant, treasur-
er; Albert Evans, inner guard;
Ralph Tench, outer guard; Hugh
Hughes, Sgt-at-Arms, Bert
Clark and trustees Isaac La-
France, M. A. Kresge and Ge-
orge Dunn.
(The designation dictator was
changed to governor after World
War I.)
The officers installed89mem-
bers in December 1912. A week
later, 117 more candidates were
accepted as members.
The first Lodge was located in
a space in the Stroh Building on
Luzerne Avenue in West Pittston
rented for $60.06 a month. The
flat under it was rented for $16
per month as the club room
where a pool table - bought for
$88 on easy terms was in-
stalled.
Lodge membership grew in
the early years. In 1913, the first
member benefit a $7 a week
sick stipend was offered.
In February and March1919, a
bondsale raisedmoneyfor a new
Lodge. On April 16, 1919 the
Lodge closed on the two-story
Huber Building in West Pittston
bought from G. J. Huber for
$8,500.
Buying the building required
the Moose to obtain a charter in
Luzerne County Court. Direc-
tors Tench, Stroh and Alexander
Bryden applied and Atty. R. A.
Huller represented the petition.
The new quarters were shown
to the public at an Open House
on Oct. 22 and 23, 1919.
In 1921, a block party and car-
nival raised $1,200 but a 163-day
miners strike the next year set
backthe local economy, trickling
down to service organizations.
The Moose recovered enough by
1924 to add a third story to the
building and buy new furniture.
Along with the rest of the
country, the Moose Lodge sur-
vived the Depression and World
War II with belt tightening as
most benefits were curtailed.
After the war, returning veter-
ans grew the membership and,

Though McDonnell made it
through with no more harm than
a case of trench foot, he had
close calls. As recon soldiers
were ahead of the main units,
they often had to find their own
places to rest. I went in this
wine cellar where they had these
big wine barrels. I went inside to
rest. I could hear Krauts talking
outside. I couldhear their tanks. I
fell asleep and didnt even hear
them leave.
McDonnell took fire crossing
the Rhine River. We had a big
hole in the ground and we had
timber on top of it. And theyd
call you out, you know, McDon-
nell and you have to go across
the Rhine in a jeep and theyd be
firing at you. They started cut-
ting our heads off with wires. We
had to put hooks on front of the
Jeep to catch the wires. The
windshields were down and cov-
ered to cut reflections for the air-
planes.
As they advanced, the Amer-
icans liberated their own prison-
ers of war and captured Ger-
mans. We had10,000 prisoners.
If you come to his town, you let
him go because what were you
going to do with them?
As the desperate Germans re-
treated, their soldiers appeared
younger and younger. Some
kids were throwing grenades at
us and you have to turn the ma-
chine guns on themand get rid of
them, you know, but everybody
did that.
Once across the Rhine, the ad-
vance quickened. We kept mov-
ing, moving, moving.
When they reached the Ger-
man autobahn - the first limited-
access, high-speed road network
in the world - they found a sec-
tion which had been converted
into an airstrip, with aircraft out
of gas, camouflaged in nearby
woods
By then it was April 1945 and
McDonnell and the men of the
101st Troop C were hearing ru-
mors that the war was over and
Hitler was dead. I got enough
points to go home. I shipped out
to camp Lucky Strike in France
and then home.
He was assigned to Indian-
town Gap, where he processed
discharges, including those for
his two older brothers, Paul and
Leo. Five of the McDonnell
brothers served in WWII.
Discharged with four Battle
Stars in 1946, McDonnell came
back to Browntown. He went
back to high school and flight
school at the Forty Fort airport -
because he wanted to fly.
He earned certificates in draft-
ing, machining, foundry and tin-
smithing at the GI school.
He had a varied working life
where he made caskets for 11
years at Monarch in West Pitt-
ston for Frank Gubbiotti and
Warren Strubeck, supervised a
$4.5 million sewage disposal
project at RCA in Mountaintop,
ran his own roofing business, su-
pervised maintenance at Wilkes-
wood Apartments and finally re-
tired in1988 as grounds superin-
tendent from The University of
Scranton.
Always handy, McDonnell re-
modeled four homes and did a
huge amount of woodworking,
carving hundreds of pieces such
as dolls, antique cars, a three-
foot long full train, a horse-
drawn funeral coach and mine
scenes.
Some of his mine carvings are
in the Anthracite Museum. An
aid to former Governor Robert
Casey once bought a mule pull-
ing mine cars for the governors
office.
But McDonnells favorite cre-
ation is his scale model carving
of Browntown circa WWII. I
was in every house in Brown-
town, McDonnell said. Name
a street in Browntown and Ill
mention every house, everybody
in those houses, every kid that
was in the service, every kid that
came back and every kid that got
killed.
McDonnell lives in Scranton
with his second wife, the former
Joan Tomillo. His first wife, the
former Josephine Laverdi,
passed away. She was the mother
of McDonnells only son, Joe, an
Air Force veteran.
Joe, who was due to be drafted
during the VietnamWar, said his
father talked himinto joining the
Air Force. He said, you aint
going in the Army.

Question #1
In 1976, what
event gave two Grea-
ter Pittston residents
Pat Seidel and Carol
Girman a real life
Peeking Into the Past
Moment?
1956 56 Years ago
Over 600 Greater Pittston residents
attended the second annual dance to
benefit the Oblate House of Studies in
West Pittston.
Mrs. Albert Minichello, Mrs. Jo-
seph Gentile and Mrs. William Med-
ico headed the committee that arranged
the colorful ball held at the Mayfair
Supper Club.
Proceeds provided scholarships for
young men attending the Oblates of St.
Joseph Seminary.
Three Explorer Scouts of Troop 303
of St. Roccos Church visited the New
Castle Air Force Base in Delaware.
Sam Montagna, Joseph Castellino
and Leo Scoda joined 35 other Scouts
from Luzerne County who toured the
base and were shown how the Ground
Observer Corps Defense program oper-
ated. New Castle National Guard Base
is a United States Air Force installation
under the control of the Delaware Air
National Guard.
From 1964-1974, the Guard unit flew
missions to Vietnam.
The Ground Observer Corps utilized
observation towers manned by autho-
rized personnel to fill holes in the
radar system that existed at the time.
By the late 1950s, deployment of the
short-range AN/FPS-14 radar resolved
a problem of detecting low-flying
planes.
As a result of this technological im-
provement, the Air Defense Command
eliminated the Ground Observer Corps
on January 31, 1959.
Dupont youngster Billy Redicka
wasnt interested in participating in
sports but had quite an extensive li-
brary of on the subject.
Gathering statistics was also his
forte. However, when he entered the
Sunday Dispatch Guess the Grid
Scores contest for Thanksgiving Day,
many were surprised to learn the young
man won first place after correctly
guessing that the Avoca Moosic tilt
would end in a 14-14 tie.
Hed also hit the 13-6 Pittston-St
Johns result on the nose and the 14-7
Wyoming-West Wyoming match-up.
The contest also held another sur-
prise. The second and third-place win-
ners were female with Jennifer Mor-
gan, of Pittston, taking second place
and Mrs. Theresa Klimchak, of Port
Griffith, taking third.
1966 46 Years Ago
Second Lieutenant Doris M. Keeler,
of Pittston, benefited from a major
change in the Marine Corps policy
concerning the assignment of women to
the Far East.
She was one of the first four women
who would have the opportunity to
serve in Japan and at which time was
assigned as a communication officer at
Camp Butler, Okinawa.
After graduating in 1954, Keeler had
previously been stationed at Paris Is-
land, South Carolina, El Toro, Cali-
fornia and was a Marine recruiter for
Northeastern Pa.
Lt. Keelers brothers Sgt. William
Keeler was stationed at Marine Corp
Air Station in El Toro, California, and
Marine Cpl. Russell Keeler had served
in Viet Nam.
In the book entitled, We are Ma-
rines! World War I to the Present by
Linda Cates Lacy.
Keeler is listed as the second woman
to be stationed at Okinawa along with
Major Jane Wallis, First Lieutenant
Anne Tallman and Master Sergeant
Sarah Thornton.
Exeter Brownies of Troop 866 and
their leaders wanted to do something
nice to brighten Thanksgiving Day at
Pittston Hospital.
Patricia Dalieda, Judith Kuloszew-
ski, Suzanne Licata, Dianne Wassil,
Donna Lippi, Barbara Galushka,
Marianne Lasky, Janice Charney,
Kathy Korick, Linda Kubasti, Carol
Tokash, Mary Space, Debbie Ze-
koski, Anna Marie Ripa, Joyce Pel-
legrini, Linda Seman, Regina Zi-
buck, Kathy Clarke, Mary Gutkow-
ski, Mary Pisano and leaders Mrs.
William Noone, Mrs. Carmen Pisano
and Mrs. John Korick Jr. presented
the nurses with handmade Thanks-
giving Favors to hand out to the pa-
tients.
The television lineup for Sunday
night:
Death Valley Days,
Lassie,
Disneys World,
Ed Sullivan,
Garry Moore,
Candid Camera and
Whats My Line.
Way Way Out starring Jerry Lewis
was being shown at the Comerford
Drive-In and a dance was held at the
West Pittston American Legion ad-
mission price $.75.
Diskay Discount Store, North Main
Street, Pittston advertised it would be
open every night until 9:00 and offered
the Johnny West Doll by Marx for
$2.73, Tip-It game for $3.44, Big
Alarm Fire Truck for $12.88, a box of
25 Christmas Cards for $.47, mens
sweaters for $5.97 and a 7-foot vinyl
Scotch Pine tree for $12.88.
1976 36 Years Ago
The excitement surrounding the sea-
sonal match-up between Pittston Area
and Wyoming area football teams rival-
ed any professional game as over 8,000
noisy fans packed Charley Trippi Stadi-
um.
Taking their fifth straight Thanks-
giving Day win, the Patriots posted a
40-30 score over the Warriors as quar-
terback Harry Ardoline and tailback
Carmen LoPresto played starring
roles.
Ardoline, who rushed for 86 yards,
passed for 47 and scored one touch-
down, was reported as playing the best
game of his career.
LoPresto rushed for 107 yards and
scored three touchdowns to close out
his high school career.
Bruce Barbini and Sam Berto ac-
counted for two touchdowns while
soccer style kicker Tony Tavella
added the extra points.
Warrior points came from touch-
downs by Tom McDonnell, Tony Ver-
dine, Mike Manganaro and Joe Radz-
wilka with two point conversions by
Larry Marianacci and Paul McNulty.
Local members of the St. Gabriel
Retreat House in Clarks Summit, Mrs.
Margaret Spiccioli, Mrs. Francis
Pavlico, Mary Simalchik all of Pitt-
ston, Mrs. Chester Shimko and Ann
Benowsky, of West Pittston, and Mary
Zabresky, of Wyoming, were part of a
large contingent of women supplying
recipes to the fundraising publication
Ethnic Edibles, USA.
The Bicentennial edition collection
contained 400 recipes and initially sold
over 2,000 copies.
Demand was such that the women
decided to have a second edition print-
ed.
A search online for Ethnic Edibles
St. Gabriel produced two copies of the
first edition for sale on-line.
The Sunday Dispatch Inquiring Pho-
tographer asked, What is your opinion
of a four-day work week?
Marion Pierce, of Hughestown,
answered, Why not! A three-day
weekend sounds good to me.
Eugene Pisano, of Exeter, stated, If
it was up to me wed all be working six
days a week to make the states the most
productive nation in the world.
Cathy Ackerman, of Pittston, briefly
stated, Terrific.
In 2008, Utah experimented with a
four-day workweek for its state employ-
ees. Former Gov. Jon Huntsman
launched the 10 hours a day, Monday
through Thursday work week for thou-
sands of employees to improve effi-
ciency, reduce overhead costs and con-
serve energy.
A 2010 legislative audit showed the
savings never materialized and the
five-day work week was reinstated.
Question #2
On Thanksgiving Day in 1996, what
were Pittston Area students required to
do for the first time in Pennsylvania
history?
Answer 1
Pat Seidel and Carol Girman had the
pleasure of meeting singer and film
actor Frankie Avalon when he attended
Italian Night at the Pocono Downs
Race Track.
Avalon has a long string of gold re-
cord singles and albums.
In 1959 alone, he had six hits in the
top 40.
According to his web site, His mu-
sic became one of the defining sounds
of the Pre-Beatles Rock and Roll
era.
He also has 30 motion pictures to his
credit. Avalon still performs at casinos
across the country.
Answer #2
Pittston Area School District made
national headlines and received televi-
sion coverage in 1996 because of a
Pennsylvania law which mandated
students receive 180 days of education
even if school days fell on holidays.
A six-week teacher strike, which
ended by court order when 180 days of
instruction were in jeopardy, allowed
students only two holidays, Memorial
and Christmas Day.
That meant that students attended
classes on Thanksgiving Day, Christ-
mas Eve, New Years Eve and New
Years Day under legislation known as
Act 88.
We worry about what a child will
become tomorrow, yet we forget that he
is someone today.

Honored to serve
Greater Pittston for
Over Two Decades
Space building where everyone
was sitting.
He said with a grant fromstate
gaming revenues and its own
volunteered labor and expertise,
the company was able to trans-
form the Open Space into a de-
sirable storefront for internation-
al clothier, Boden, to set up shop.
From there, he said, gravity
took over.
Success breeds success,
Lombardo said. People are call-
ing us to turn space aroundwe
just dont have the space.
He said many projects are un-
derway, including a loft apart-
ment building near the fire de-
partment and a condominium
complex near the river.
Redevelopment Authoritys
Main Street Manager Rose Ran-
dazzo stressed the importance of
restoring and preserving the
citys historic buildings, adding
that fine living space and atten-
tion to detail like art and clean
streets draws people into the city.
Though Lombardo empha-
sized success, he did not ignore
the citys need for infrastructure
improvements, includinga sewer
system overhaul and incentives
for members of the older popula-
tion who have worked their
whole lives to own their own
homes. He lauded city govern-
ment officials for finding ways
to improve these trouble spots.
After the program moved the
business leaders to Palazzo 53
for dinner, Nocito lingered be-
hind at Open Space, talking with
stragglers and closing up. She
said she believed the event
sparked interest in Pittston as a
place to live and do business.
It shined a spotlight on Pitt-

She said business leaders de-
sire culture, a high-caliber work-

community.
We seek these qualities, No-

Capital construction and pur-
chases were almost $200,000 in
2012, but that item was elimi-
nated for 2013. Moskovitz said
the money was used for down-
town development, purchase of
equipment, a salt shed and oth-
er expenditures.
The city plans to hire a part-
time health officer in 2013 to
assist with restaurant inspec-
tions and property maintenance
issues.
Moskovitz said the last time
Pittston had a health officer was
2006 and didnt fill the position
because of a change in state
certification requirements.
Landfill costs are down
$20,000 in the 2013 budget.
Moskovitz said reduced tipping
fees can be contributed to in-
creased recycling by residents.
On the revenue side, the city
expects $2.6 million in taxes,
$2.4 million in various govern-
ment funding, $100,000 in li-
censes and permits and $56,000
in fines and forfeitures.
The final budget is expected
to be passed on Dec. 19.
In other business, the coun-
cil:
Announced there would be
free downtown parking for the
month of December.
A number of frivolous lawsuits filed
against the city during difficult eco-
nomic times is part of the explana-
tion.
Joe Moskovitz, city administrator
Regarding insurance costs on the rise
funding are the primary rea-
sons, according to Moskovitz.
The citys police department
is one of the largest expenses in
the budget.
The departments budget
jumped from $811,215 in 2012
to $1,079,747 in 2013. Much of
the increase is due to an agree-
ment with Dupont to take over
that boroughs police service.
Dupont is expect-
ed to pay Pittston
$130,000 in 2013
for 24-hour police
protection.
When discuss-
ing the deal at the
council meeting,
Kluch said, Were
not going into this
to lose money.
The city will get
a percentage of
traffic fines issued
by its department
on the highways
that run through
Dupont, notably state Route
315. The policing agreement
will be hammered out in De-
cember.
Police Chief Robert Powers
will earn $55,014 in 2013,
$151,545 is budgeted for three
sergeants and $282,000 is bud-
geted for the remaining offi-
cers.
The police force has six full-
time officers and 14 part-time-
rs. Moskovitz said two addi-
tional police officers are in the
budget, but the positions are not
filled. He said with the addition
of Dupont, the force may need
to add them.
The fire departments budget
will be $884,366 and Fire Chief
Jim Rooney will earn $53,460.
Administration costs are
budgeted at $71,650 for 2013.
The mayor earns $3,000 a year,
each councilman and the con-
troller earns $2,000. Auditing
services are set at $13,000.
Under the Home Rule char-
ter, the city clerk position was
eliminated and
combined with
the city manager.
Moskovitz said
his salary as City
Administrator
will be set at
$65,000 when the
2013 budget is
passed. Oper-
ations Coordina-
tor David Allen
Hines will earn
$36,050. In tax
collection,
$14,000 is bud-
geted for the elected tax collec-
tor/treasurer Kathy Cunard,
$35,686 is budgeted for a tax
office manger and $63,205 is
budgeted for two clerks.
Executive Director of the Of-
fice of Community Develop-
ment Joe Chacke will earn
$46,350, an assistant earns
$35,686 and a bookkeeper
earns $27,583.
Home Rule transition ex-
penses are budgeted for $5,000.
Appointed John Alfano, of
Searle Street, Pittston as a part-
time Parking Enforcement Of-
ficer at a rate of $12 an hour.
The position has a line item in
the 2013 budget for $12,000,
but the city and the parking au-
thority hope to come to an
agreement on funding the posi-
tion. Alfano would start in Ja-
nuary.
Appointed Michael Stella,
of North Main Street, Pittston
as a temporary full-time CDL
driver for the Department of
Parks and Recreation at $15 an
hour.
Appointed Joseph Long ,
of Welsh Street, Jenkins Town-
ship, to the Pittston Memorial
Library Board. His term will
expire on Oct. 16, 2014.
Authorized the solicitor to
prepare an ordinance to change
Butler Alley, alongside DeMu-
ros Pizza, from a two-way
street to a one-way street, going
south to north.

Last evening Shawn Klush as Elvis per-
formedat the KirbyCenter as a benefit for
the Pittston Library expansion project. A
week or so ago we heard ticket sales were
not what had been going great.
We hope that changed and the library
did well last evening.
The difficulty is selling tickets for the
event points to a wider dynamic affecting
fund raisers. The people of the Greater
Pittston area have always been generous,
often beyond what might be expected
considering our means.
At the same time that generosity is be-
ing spread thin as more and more worthy
causes come ask for help. Many are the
coindrops, pasta dinners, race nights, golf
tourneys, raffles and concerts for every-
thing form sports teams to child victims
of rare-diseases.
It is getting to the point where folks are
having to pick and chose which causes to
support.
But there is another waytohelp, besides
just giving you hard-earned money join
a service organizations.
In the past groups such as the Lions,
Rotary, Kiwanis and Moose were much
stronger and able to do more than they do
now. Today many of the members of these
groups are of the Baby Boom generation
or older. New blood is needed. Think
about contactinga member of one of these
groups and apply to join.
By the way, we congratulate the local
Moose Lodge 1207 for reaching the 100
year mark.
Lodge1207 in West Pittston was found-
ed in December of 1912. The local lodge
supports many local causes as well Moo-
seheart the Moose International home for
children.

On page three today find a story about
an 86-year-old World War II veteran, Jo-

such stories we have run over the past year
or so. At 86 McDonnell is actually young
for a WWII vet, most of those still living
are in their 90s.

There were hardly any residents in at-
tendance at Mondays Exeter Council
meeting and only five of Exeters seven
council members. Thats too bad be-
cause it was brought up at the meeting
that the borough might double our prop-
erty taxes.
The boroughs next regular council
meeting is not until Dec. 4, but the coun-
cil is going to hold a special budget
meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday.
Residents of Exeter, please attend this
meeting. Taxes are getting ridiculous at
all levels. We cant take it anymore.
Come out and express your opinion. Let
council know we cant take it anymore.
The borough has a budget shortfall of
$400,000. Well, thats not the residents
fault. We didnt ask council to over-
spend. Its not about lack of money, its
about overspending. At Mondays meet-
ing it was said revenues are $1.3 million
and spending is expected to be $1.7 mil-
lion.
Well, $1.3 million should be enough.
It was also suggested the borough
overspent because it was expecting tax
money from Wal-Mart, which pulled
out. If thats true that proves its about the
spending, because it shows that if the
borough gets more and more tax money
it will only spend more and more.
It was also said at the meeting that
money from the $52 a year emergency
service taxes paid by workers in the bor-
ough will be less this year because fewer
people are working in the borough.
Again thats not the residents fault. We
want to work.
See you at the meeting.

During global travels, Imalways on the lookout
for human interest stories which touch the heart.
On a recent cool and rainy Autumn Saturday in
Bloomington, Indiana, I found a wonderful exam-
ple to share about people using animals to help oth-
ers.
The experience occurred during a morning run
as I was in town to attend the funeral of my 100
year-old mother-in-law, Bertha Helms. Running
along the trail from center city eventually led me
into the towns suburbs. I encountered a noisy
crowd assembled in a nearby opened-door horse
barn. Curious, I went over to find out what was
causing the excitement.
Standing at one of the barn openings was Barb
Bonchek. We began conversing, and she gracious-
ly explained the purpose of this gathering was to
celebrate the horse-riding skills of persons with
disabilities enrolled in Bloomingtons People and
Animals Learning Services (PALS) therapeutic
riding program. Her daughter Fern founded PALS
12 years ago as a local non-profit group specializ-
ing in equine/human therapy. That organization
hosted this event.
Delighted onlookers watched riders and horses
perform a variety of walk and trot patterns. I espe-
cially noticed the huge grins on the faces of all the
riders, enjoying immensely their time in the saddle
and the crowd reaction. Ms. Bonchek cordially
shared some event details. Collectively, there were
some 50 riders, about 300 spectators, over 100 vol-
unteers, and nine guest judges involved in that
days festivities. Greatly impressed best describes
my overall reaction, and Im thrilled to have trav-
eled that particular route that day.
Various forms of animal-assisted therapy are in-
creasingly being used throughout the United States
and other parts of the world. In addition to equines,
other groups and therapists including the Ameri-
can Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals use canines, felines and other animals in ther-
apy programs also designed to improve the mental,
physical, social and emotional functioning of spe-
cial needs and elderly persons. This type therapy is
administered in such places as private residences,
hospitals, mental institutions, and nursing homes.
And it reportedly has its genesis in England during
the 18th Century.
As an unabashed friend of animals, with two
dogs anda cat inour home courtesyof myyoungest
daughter, I can vouch for the special relationship
between humans and animals and the soothing ef-
fect it has onour dailylives. Twoadoptedfarmcats,
Blackie and Whitey, provided my late mother-in-
law great companionship and comfort during the
last years of her long life as she combatted the
harshness of advancingage andloneliness fromthe
passing of her husband of 75 years. Fromthose and
other life experiences, Im convinced animal-as-
sistedtherapyhelps manyspecial needs andelderly
persons better cope with, and alleviate, suffering
occurring from various disabilities and maladies.
It would be a nice gesture during the upcoming
holidays and afterwards to consider giving special
thanks and support to groups in your local area and
elsewhere who deliver treatment and happiness,
through animals, to others. They are accomplish-
ing remarkable things. Also consider taking pets to
a hospital and/or nursing home for a visit. The pos-
itive reaction of patients, guests and staff will sure-
ly make the visit worthwhile. Imcertain the expe-
rience will gladden your hearts, as it has mine.

Animals helping humans
Manyof us have filledour bellies tothe fullest possible amount this
past Thanksgiving. Some say we fell asleep because of eating turkey
and tryptophan, some say it was too many calories that elevated our
blood glucose levels and then it was the blood sugar drop that
caused us to fall asleep, and yet others say it was pure exhaustion!
Tryptophanis anessential aminoacidthat our bodies cannot make;
therefore it comes fromthe food that we eat. The National Institute of
Health states that the best sources for tryptophan are high protein
foods fish, many nuts, dairy products, poultry and oats, bananas, and
dried dates.
Once we eat food sources of tryptophan, our bodies convert it to
5-HTP (5-hyrdoxytryptophan), and then to serotonin. Serotonin is a
hormone that transmits signals between nerve cells. It also causes
blood vessels to narrow. Changes in the level of serotonin in the brain
can alter mood according to 2007 article published in the Journal of
Psychiatry and Neuroscience. One would think then that we should
be eating large amounts of poultry to boost our overall good mood
feeling!
Tryptophan needs a carrier into the brain. Large amino acids found
in turkey also compete for this transport, hence reducing the amount
of brain tryptophan. We may have tryptophan in our plasma, but its
not able to get into the brain. So then, whats a person to do to be in a
good mood? Continue eating a wide variety of foods and get outside
for even a short period of time. Sunlight and physical activity will
increase our overall positive outlook on this holiday season.
Take the stress free approach to this holiday season, enjoy a wide
variety of healthy (low fat low sodium) foods with lots of fruits and
vegetables and whole grains. Plan time to get outdoors, even for short
periods of time.
To help get you started, try this apple snack cake. Its made with
whole grains and contains apples. It can even be mixed without a
mixer.
Apple Snack Cake
11/4 cups boiling water
1 cup oatmeal uncooked, quick or old fashion
1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour
cup granulated sugar
cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups peeled, chopped apples
1/3 cup canola oil
1 eggs and 2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
Combine boiling water and oatmeal. Let sit for 5 minutes. Com-
bine oatmeal mixture withall other ingredients except apples. Mixby
gently folding in or making a circular motion with the spoon. Add
apples. Place in 9 by 11 baking dish sprayed with non fat cooking
spray. Bake at 350 for 30 35 minutes. Enjoy!

Its not often I agree with Steve Corbett, but
hes right when he says name PNC Park for the
ONeill brothers. He made the same suggestion
when the park was opened in 1989. At that time I
disagreed, because it wasnt really a baseball park
then, it was the sterile multi-purpose stadium its
ugly name -- the Lackawanna County Multi-
Purpose Stadium said it was.
That didnt evoke in me a love baseball history,
nationally and locally, which the ONeill brothers
are part of, but now that its being transformed
into a baseball park it does.
The ONeill brothers were from Minooka,
right down the road from PNC Park. The two
youngest, Steve and Jim, were born there. The
two oldest, Jack and Mike, were born in Ireland.
All four reached the Major Leagues, a feat
topped only by the five Delahanty brothers. Be-
cause naming rights are sold, the name would
have to be something like ONeill Brothers Field
at PNC Park.
Whatever lets do it.

One of the most common misconceptions
is that chili peppers are used to spice up
or add heat to a dish when, in fact, they are

avors. A mild green chili, for example, can

ingredients, not overwhelming your guests
with unpleasant heat intensity.

FACTS OF
LAW
Brought to you as a paid public service by
the Law Ofces of Dominick P. Pannunzio,
294 Main Street, Dupont, 655-5541
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
When a parent of a dependent child dies, the
Social Security Administration typically pays
survivor benefts to the other parent. But
does SSA have to pay survivor benefts for a
child conceived after a parents death, say,
through the use of in vitro fertilization? The
U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously ruled
that the law of each state shall determine
whether a child satisfes the defnition of
child under the federal Social Security Act.
***
Texas now requires all college students to get
meningitis shots when they enroll for classes.
***
A new Delaware state law bans tethering
nursing mother dogs and very young dogs for
any period of time. Its now illegal to tether
any other dog for 18 or more hours in any 24-
hour period. Tethering - also called chaining,
whether a chain, rope or cable is used - now
may be prosecuted as cruelty to animals.
***
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit
has overturned a court decision awarding
$40,800 in damages and $2.5 million in
legal fees to an Islamic charitys lawyers who
claimed they were illegally surveilled under
President George W. Bushs warrantless
wiretapping program, because Congress never
explicitly waived sovereign immunity - a legal
doctrine which limits lawsuits for money
damages against the federal government to
cases specifcally authorized by law.

cility with five other municipal-
ities. Now, Dupont officials are

Dupont Borough Council
unanimously approved a motion

ing to send a letter of intent with
regard to forming a regional po-
lice department to the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Communi-
ty and Economic Development
requesting a feasibility study. A
second motion was unanimously
approved for the Borough Solic-
itor to meet with Pittston City
Solicitor to begin discussion on
shared services and an agree-
ment for police coverage in2013.
Council President Stan Knick
said the borough could save ap-
proximately $40,000 a year in la-
bor costs, vehicle maintenance,
insurances plus utility cost in
maintaining a police station.

ject awarded to Kreiger Con-
struction for Lackawanna/Main/
Chestnut and Airport Road/
HoldenandEverhart is alsodone
and the Leeward paving job at
the Avoca/Dupont border has fi-
nally finished.
PP&Lwas scheduled to install
electricity to the new borough
garage but was delayed due to
Super Storm Sandy and once
that is done local contractor Ke-
vin Krawczyk will look at in-
stalling the gas fill station. In the
meantime he will contact Plains
to see if the borough can fill up
with them until the garage is up
and running and the new truck
can be put in service.
Knick also noted that the bor-
oughreceived17loads of milling
from the OCD pave project and
some of it went into the garage
site to be spread as a base before

to the compost site.

tions including one for paving
borough streets.

SLATINGTON Wyoming
Areas offense mounted a sec-
ond-half comeback, but Mike
DePaolo never stopped churning
out the yards andtouchdowns
for Pen Argyl.
DePaolo carried 33 times for
216 yards and three touchdowns
Saturday afternoon as the Green
Knights knocked the Warriors
out of the Pennsylvania Inter-
scholastic Athletic Association
Class AA football semifinals
with a 21-7 victory at Northern
Lehigh High School.
The bruising 6-foot-3, 210-
pound tailback in the ball-con-
trol, single-wing offense provid-
ed the game-breaking score on a
37-yard touchdown run with
5:09 remaining. It was the fourth
time in the game that he convert-
ed a third-down situation and the
second time that he turned it into
a touchdown.
When Wyoming Area threat-
ened one last time, it was DePao-
lo who intercepted at the 1 and
ran it out to the 7 with 1:52 left.
Pen Argyl (11-2) advances to
the state quarterfinals toface Im-
hotep Charter.
Wyoming Area, the District 2
champion, finished 10-3.
Pen Argyl put Wyoming Area
in its first two-touchdown hole
when Matt Gilfilen intercepted a
pass on the third play of the sec-
ond half and the Green Knights
followed it up with a 10-play, 53-
yard touchdown drive.
DePaolo who proved tough to
bring down throughout the
game, used second effort to cov-
er the final yard. His touchdown
came one play after a Nick Oyer-
to-Scott Beltz, 26-yard gain on a
flea flicker and allowed Pen Ar-
gyl to take a 14-0 lead with 6:38
left in the third quarter.
The Warriors turned to Nick
OBrien to mount a comeback.
The senior quarterback car-
ried all five plays on a 58-yard
touchdown drive. OBrien start-
ed the drive with a 19-yard run,
then finished it by carrying a
fourth-and-two trap 31 yards for
the touchdown.
A.J. Lenkaitis kicked the extra
point with 4:12 left in the third
quarter to cut the deficit to 14-7.
OBrien finished with 128
yards on19 carries. He picked up
83 of those rushing yards in the

Pen Argyl back three yards and
OBrien returned a punt 31yards
to the Green Knights 23.
OBrien had consecutive runs
of 8, 10 and 7 yards to get out of a
second-and-15 situation and al-
low the Warriors to start the
fourth quarter at the Green
Knights 3.
But, Nick Oyer broke in to
stop OBrien for a six-yard loss
on second down and a 27-yard

ing opportunities get away in the
first half, allowing Pen Argyl to
emerge with a 7-0 lead.

Compiling a precise history of
Thanksgiving Day football in
Greater Pittston before the first
St. Johns - Pittston High game in
1915 may not be possible. The
newspapers in those days did not
cover high school football as is
done today.
Notes announcing games were
often found in town news co-
lumns with no follow up. From
Thanksgiving week in 1898: A
game of football will be played
on Thursday between West Pitt-
ston High School and the King-
ston Indians at Wyoming field.
The note does not indicate that
the Kingston Indians was a high
school team and that compli-
cates matters.
Previous to 1915, and even af-
ter that, there were teams which
represented athletic clubs,
towns, neighborhoods and odd-
ball organizations such as the
Wyoming Anti-Cigarette
League team.
The earliest Thanksgiving
week game found involving a
high school teamwas 1894 when
Pittston High School played the
Wyoming YMCA on the river
common in West Pittston the day
after Thanksgiving. A day earli-
er, Thanksgiving, Wyoming
played the Eagle Hose Company
of Pittston on the Seventh Street
Grounds in Wyoming, but
Wyoming was not identified as a
high school team.
The first Thanksgiving game
found between two local high
school teams was a Pittston
West Pittston game in 1906 on
the River Common in West Pitt-
ston. While a pre-game note in-
dicated the teams will play the
annual game today no record of
a previous PHS WPHS
Thanksgiving game was found.
West Pittston won 20-0. Paul Be-
van was the star for WPHS. His
run the length of the field was a
feature of the game. West Pitt-
ston and Pittston also played on
Thanksgiving in 1921 with WP
winning 26-0.
Here are some other notes on
early Thanksgiving games.
In 1898 the Pittston Athletic
Association and Carbondale
played to a 0-0 tie at the Fair
Grounds and Plains and Avoca
played to a 0-0 tie in West Avoca
In1901Pittston beat Tunkhan-
nock 11-0 at West Park. McGuf-
fie scored both touchdowns
(They were worth five points). A
Tunkhannock player got his nose
broken. The teams were not
identified as high school teams
In 1902 the Pittston and Dun-
more high school teams played
to a 0-0 tie at Riverside Park in
the Junction. 1902 was also the
earliest year a St. Johns Thanks-
giving game was found. St
Johns tied the Scranton Juve-
niles 5-5 at Hamtown. Schmaltz,
McCue, and Cowan were the St.
Johns standouts. Because it was
a tie they will play the game
over Saturday.
1904 the Third Ward Juniors
(Pittston) playedLuzerne Tigers,
the Pittston Rally Boys defeated
the Carbondale Juniors 5-0 and
the Pittston Railroad Street
Comets defeated the West Pitt-
ston Juniors 12-0.
Also in 1904 the Kingston
High School and the Wyoming
Anti-Cigarette League team
played to a 0-0 tie. From the sto-
ry, The high school team sup-
posedly kicked a goal, but the
referee did not see it.
Perhaps he was out for a
smoke.
1913 the St. Johns high school
team and100 of their fans trav-
eled to Stroudsburg to play the
East Stroudsburg Normal
School, the precursor to East
Stroudsburg University. St.
Johns, outweighedby20pounds
a man, lost 27-0.
Only Wilkes-Barre v. King-
ston (Coughlin-Valley West)
predates the St. Johns Pittston
game Valley-wide.
Though the teams played as
early as 1911, the first two
Thanksgiving games were in
1915 and 1916. The series took a
break for World War I. When it
started up again in 1922, the
sport had boomed in popularity.
Several thousand saw Pittston
win 18-0. In 1923 8,000 fans
jammed around Upper Pittston
Field in the Junction, and sawSt.
Johns win 19-3 and be pro-
claimed Champions of the Up-
per County.
St. Johns cheerleader Paul
Kane led the fans, band and play-
ers, 500 strong, in a parade
through the city to the school,
blocking traffic. They stopped at
the convent where the band sere-
naded the nuns, who were not al-
lowed to go to the games. Thus a
tradition began that lasted until
the end of the series in 1963.
In 1925, 11,000 fans formed
giant rooting sections on either
side of the field, augmented by
the schools bands and cheer-
leaders. The St. Johns team ar-
rived in a bus donated by Frank
Martz and when they ran onto
the fieldtheywere greetedwitha
deafening several minute ova-
tion. Ten mounted state police-
men, soldiers of the 109th Artil-
lery and the Pittston police pa-
trolled the sidelines to keep fans
from surging onto the field. St.
Johns quarterback Donnelly
scored on a 60-yard run and,
amazingly, made four of five ex-
tra point drop kicks as St. Johns
won 34-0.
The game moved to West Park
in 1929 and later to Bone Stadi-
um.
In 1939 Trippi overwhelmed
St. Johns in a 38-0 Pittston win -
the biggest rout in the series.
Trippi scored two rushing TDs,
passed for a TDto Pinola and did
all the kicking.
In 1945, Carmen Manganiello
scored a touchdown with 20 sec-
onds left and then plunged in for
an extra point to save a 13-13 tie.
In 1951 at Bone Stadium Pitt-
ston lineman John Bednash
blocked a punt out of the end
zone for a safety in a 2-0 Pittston
win and was selected both the of-
fensive and defensive player of
the game winning a suit from
Sam Mirras and a watch from
LaTorres Pool Room. In 1952
St. Johns John Robbie won the
suit on his17th birthday in a 32-2
St. Johns win.
St. Johns quarterback Pat Pi-
sano led St. Johns to wins in the
last two games in 62 and 63.
Both were shutouts thanks to
rugged defense by the Johnnies
Billy Gerrity, Al Gubitose, John
Burke, Joe Zielinski, Pat Dough-
erty and Joe Roszko

Thanksgiving Day football games date to 1894
By JACK SMILES
jsmiles@psdispatch.com
Thanksgiving Day marked the
50th anniversary of the 1962 St.
Johns/Pittston Thanksgiving
game. There were great athletes
and coaches on both sides of the
field that day. Joe Sobeski and
Frank Walker were the two Pitt-
ston coaches I remember. On the
St. Johns sideline were John
Hopkins, head coach, John Bo-
zo Connors, Pat Brennan, Mar-
ty Melvin and John Haferty.
A few months before Tommy
Gubbiottis passing we sat to-
gether in my TV room and
watched a video of the game tak-
en by Mike Loughneys brother
Jerry.
We both recalled how we
changed a pass play at halftime,
with Coach Hopkins approval,
and it resulted in a Red Pisano to
Tommy Gubbiotti touchdown
pass as St. Johns won 18-0.
Tommy was selected as the
outstanding back and Mike as
the outstanding lineman. We
were missing our other outstand-
ing leader, Bobby Walsh, who
was out with an injury. Our
coaches prepared us well and
Tommy and Mike led by exam-
ple on the practice field.
When game time came we
were ready. Pittston was ready
also and the result was a tough
game with Tommy and Mike
provingtobe the difference mak-
ers.
One other difference maker in
the game who was not a coach or
player was a1961St, Johns grad-
uate the late Jon McHale.
Jon got on our bus just before
we left for the game and talked
about how bad he felt losing to
Pittston his senior year. Up to
that point I hadnt though about
losing.
When Jon was finished Tom-
my and Mike jumped up and
used Jons comments on losing
during his senior year as the final
motivation to put us over the top
that day.

The Luzerne County coordi-
nator for HSH is Mike Serbin
said hunters who donate are
asked to contribute a minimum
co-pay of $15 to the participating
processors to help cover part of
the processing cost. This co-pay
contribution is tax-deductible.
In the Northeast the five-day,
bucks-only rifle season opens to-
morrow, November 29, and runs
through December 3, followed
by a concurrent, antlered and an-
tlerless deer season from De-
cember 4 through December 11.

tion by Selena Cobb, a native
of the Choctaw Seminole Tribe,
as a culmination to their study
of Native American tribes of
North America. Ms. Cobb
demonstrated her native lan-
guage, customs and dances. In
addition, students completed
research and created a project
based on the Iroquois,
Cheyenne, Hopi or Kwkiuti
Tribe. Mrs. Dessoye is the
fifth-grade Social Studies
teacher and Mr. Jon Pollard is
the principal.
Financial aid programs
Wyoming Area is offering
three financial programs for
parents and students.
Seniors and juniors and their
parents are urged to attend
these programs and 9th and
10th grade students and their
parents are also invited to at-
tend to get a heads up on pre-
paring financially for college.
Scholarship Information
Night, will be held on Thurs-
day, December 6th in the high
school auditorium beginning at
7PM. Information on the six
(6) new scholarships that will
be offered this year will be out-
lined along with discussion on
all the other community schol-
arships and awards offered to
graduating Wyoming Area se-
niors. There are approximately
46 in addition to the 6 new
ones. Several of the scholar-
ships/awards are given to mul-
tiple students. For example last
year, the John AnthonyBeno
Borzell awarded two $1700.00
scholarships to graduating se-
nior scholar-athletes; the Fallen
Warrior and the Faculty schol-
arships vary from a possible 5
to 8 students. The number
awarded depends on the com-
petitiveness of the applicant
pool. One of the new scholar-
ships this year, the Joseph A.
Miller Scholarship, is awarding
$5,000.00 and another, the Ste-
phanie Godri-Johnston, is
awarding $3,000.00. The John
and Lola Rindgen Memorial
Scholarship will award
$1,000.00 to an education ma-
jor (preferably elementary edu-
cation). Ideas on how to be
successful in receiving an
award will be discussed at
length. There will be a Ques-
tion and Answer period follow-
ing the presentation. Several of
the donors will also be on hand
to give a brief overview of their
scholarships and to answer
questions.
On Monday, December
10th in the high school library
Linda Pacewicz, the Higher
Education Access Partner with
PHEA Northeast Region, will
present our annual Financial
Aid Night. She is a representa-
tive of PHEAA and has a
wealth of experience not only
in financial aid but in banking
as well. She recently presented
her program at a local area
high school and was extremely
well-received. Her information
is timely and covers many as-
pects of financial aid in addi-
tion to the forms that have to
be filled out to qualify for fed-
eral and state aid. Some of the
topics covered included schol-
arships, now to find out about
them, what to include on schol-
arship applications, the latest
changes to the FAFSA applica-
tion, work study, loans, etc. All
of this information is valuable
to parents as well as seniors.
Each senior planning on attend-
ing college must submit the
PHEAA form to qualify for
federal and state aid. NO mat-
ter the financial situation of the
parents this form must be sub-
mitted to qualify for any aid.
On Wednesday, February
13th in the computer lab on the
first floor of the high school,
Linda Pacewicz, the Higher
Education Access Partner with
PHEA Northeast Region will
present hands on computer
class for senior parents. She
will WALK the parents through
the financial aid form (FAFSA)
2013. This is an extremely ex-
cellent program for first time
filers of financial aid using the
FAFSA form. The program will
run from 6:00-8:00PM. It will
be offered on a first come first
served basis. Sign ups will take
place at the Dec 10th program.
IT is never too early to begin
the college planning process, to
think about scholarships and to
hear about all the generous of-
ferings WA has to offer its se-
niors.
Many students and their par-
ents are concerned about the
financial part of the applica-
tions process. These programs
will help parents and their chil-
dren understand the process
better and hopefully enhance
the seniors chances of winning
a scholarship and/or helping
them get as much federal and
state financial aid as possible.
The 4th annual Scholar-
ship/Award Celebration will be
held on Thursday, May 23,
2013 in the high school cafete-

cuss the different animals and
the sounds they make.

on a paper or index card. Help
your child practice writing them
in order from the least to the
greatest amount. Take turns say-
ing the numbers. Repeat with
different numbers.
