Remember to remember
I’d seen the names of my old
friends Billy Kause and Ronnie
Urbanski on The Wall – offi-
cially, the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial in Washington, D.C.
– several times before, so why
did I get such a lump in my
throat this time? That’s the
question I asked myself – and
my wife – when we visited The
Wall the week before last. I
touched Billy’s name and when
I tried to say something I could
not. It was the same with Ron-
nie’s
Mary Kay was attending the
American Urological Associ-
ation Convention in the nation’s
capital and I jumped at the
chance to tag along. I love
Washington, especially the
monuments, although they
always destroy me emotionally.
None more than The Wall. And
never more than this last visit.
I believe it has a lot to do
with the death of my friend
Albert Kridlo’s son Dale in
Afghanistan last November.
Dale’s death is still an open
wound for my friend, and there-
fore for me. There’s been some

ington, D.C.
healing – like last Saturday’s
flag raising ceremony at the
hunting cabin Al and Dale
belonged to (see page one and
pages 32, 33) – but it’s a slow
process.
Since Dale’s death I’ve been
thinking quite a bit about peo-
ple who die in war. Some I
know, like Billy and Ronnie.
And some I know by name only
like First Lt. Jeffrey DePrimo,
who was killed three years ago
in Afghanistan.
One in the latter category –
the ones I know by name only –
has my own name, Edward
Ackerman. He was my father’s
brother, killed in the Battle of
the Bulge in World War II. My
dad was fighting in the Pacific
when his brother got killed and
did not know it until he came
home in 1945, for the first time
in five years. I often wonder if
Edward were anything like my
dad. I hope so. That would
make me feel a little closer to
him.
My dad had a second brother
killed in World War II but I can
never remember if it were El-
mer or Rudolph. One of them
died in a car crash, the other in
battle. There are names of 38
such brothers inscribed on The
Wall. My heart goes out to their
moms and dads who had to
endure twice the pain.
War claims the young and
like the 25,000 names on The
Wall 20 years old or younger,
Billy Kause and Ronnie Urban-
ski were just kids when they
died – Billy 19 and Ronnie 20. I
remember them as younger
than that.
My earliest recollection of
Billy involves seventh grade
and ham salad. He invited me
to his birthday party and when I
walked in and saw a big bowl
of ham salad on the table I
knew this kid was just like me.
In my house, ham salad always
meant a party. I didn’t grasp
until years later that, aside from
being pretty tasty, ham salad
was the cheapest way to feed a
crowd.
Billy, not very big physically,
was a gifted athlete. He dazzled
everyone at the Pittston pool
with his diving. We thought he
could do anything. He was
tough as nails and that descrip-
tion applied to Ronnie as well.
Ronnie would have been an
athlete too but couldn’t be both-
ered. He was too busy being
cool, in the way that Elvis was
cool, the way James Dean was
cool. Most of us wanted to be
him but our parents wouldn’t
let us.
Billy and Ronnie are just two
of the 58,267 names on The
Wall, and that number is just a
fraction of the estimated 1.2
million Americans who have
died serving their country.
When will this stop? As Bob
Dylan sang, “The answer, my
friend, is blowin’ in the wind?”
All we can do is remember.
And remember to remember.

Lisa Lewis: She’s a 19th Century woman
Her book, ‘The Fashionable Victorians,’ will be out in 2012
With Jack Smiles
L
isa Lewis lives in West
Pittston with John Tho-
mas Grant who is also her
business partner in The Passion
Project.
She was born in Wilkes-Barre
and lived there until the flood of
1972, when her family moved to
the Pittston area. She graduated
from Pittston Area in 1982. She
graduated from LCCC with a de-
gree in commercial art.
Eventually she carved out a
business niche for herself as The
Victoriana Lady, reenacting a
Victorian era woman and con-
ducting programs on Victorian
era fashions, accessories, eti-
quette and manners. Visit
www.victorianalady.com to
learn more.
Schiffer Books is publishing
her book, The Fashionable Vic-
torians, in 2012.
She has four children: Megan,
Robbie, Aaron and Naomi.
Were you interested in histo-
ry as a child?
Yes, my ancestors came here
late in the1850s. My grandmoth-
er and two great aunts lived into
their 80s, early 90s. I spent a lot
of time with them growing up. I
was fascinated with their old
photographs.
I found out my great-great-
great grandfather was in Union
Army in the Civil War, that
sparked my interest. I read any-
thing I could get my hands on
about the 19th century. I had a
wonderful sixth grade reading
teacher, Mrs. Feldman, in the
Wilkes-Barre Dana Street
School. She really challenged
my love of history.
What do you remember of
the ’72 Flood?
We lived in South Wilkes-
Barre. I remember we were up
on 309 at the Acme Super Mar-
ket getting groceries. It was
jammed. Everybody in town was
up there.
I remember the siren going
off. It was such an awful sound.
My mother said that’s when we
PAGE 4
would know the dike had broken.
The Victoriana Lady, Lisa Lewis, of West Pittston
We had been evacuated and were
living with relatives. I remember
afterwards the muddy, dirty
mess and how awful everything
smelled.
Later we moved to the Pittston
area
What did you do after col-
lege?
When I got out I didn’t know
what I wanted to do. I took a job
at Design Systems in Wilkes-
Barre, but it wasn’t what I want-
ed to do.
I had this passion for history
and the Victorian era and I al-
ways wanted to write a book. So
here I am today. Better late then
never. Sometimes things just
evolve
Talk about that evolution.
In 2002 I was raising young
children and my friends were al-
so young mothers and it seemed
we never had time to get togeth-
er. I couldn’t bear one more Tup-
perware or Pampered Chef party.
I was interested in Victorian
history and I had inherited a lot
S U N D AY S I T D O W N
of pieces so I thought, I’m going
to start a tea society. Because
Queen Victoria started the insti-
tution of afternoon 4 o’clock tea
time and I have a Victorian
house.
So I sent out 30 invitations to
friends, moms at school and peo-
ple I hadn’t seen in years. I was
shocked when I got 26 letters
back. So for two hours every
month we got together.
Was the tea idea the genesis
for The Victoriana Lady?
It was. It was great. We had
these two hours to connect with-
out the kids around. What hap-
pened was my daughter Megan’s
piano teacher, Linda Schroeder,
asked me to help do a surprise
birthday party for her mother.
Her mother’s sisters were com-
ing in from out of town and they
were all well into their 80s.
I told her I’d bake everything
homemade and I’d set the table.
She asked me would it be too
much to for me to wear one of my
Victorian outfits.
She said her mother and aunts
remember their mother wearing
corsets and the big hats and she
pulled their pictures out.
I said, oh yeah, any excuse to
break out my collection.
(Laughs).
I said I’ll bring a few things
and do a little program. They
loved it.
How did your passion turn
into a business?
Somebody there at the birth-
day party knew somebody at the
Times Leader. Mary Therese
Biebel came to my house.
I was dressed in a Victorian
outfit and we put on a tea.
She did the interview and I
talked about the party and what I
had been doing and I don’t think
the newspaper was on my porch
10 minutes and my phone was
ringing off the hook.
People calling asking me to do
birthday parties for their grand-
mothers, their little girls, would I
entertain for the red hat society?
And that’s how it started.
What was the next step?
I took a year and half to re-
search running a catering busi-
ness. I catered afternoon tea par-
ties all over Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey. I did that
for three years.
Pennsylvania was the last state
where you could sell food for
profit made out of your kitchen.
Then they passed regulations
where you had to install a com-
mercial kitchen.
I looked into that and it would
have been $20,000 to put an ad-
dition on my house to install ev-
erything they required. I wasn’t
in that neighborhood with four
children.
I was devastated. I thought that
was the end of things. But then I
said, I’m not giving this up.
Right around this time John
Dziak of the Pittston Historical
Society and his wife came to one
of my programs for the West Pitt-
ston Historical Society.
He approached me after and
asked me to play Esther Tinsley
as a young girl in a documentary
film about the Pittston Hospital
and Esther Tinsley, Haven on the
Hill.
I was honored. She was the on-
ly female hospital administrator
in the country. Women didn’t
even have the vote yet.
I found I really loved reenact-
ing and I got more calls to do my
programs, the Victorian fash-
ions, accessories, the history and
the etiquette. I decided that was
really my passion. I decided to
go strictly in that direction. I was
still going to the same venues,
but I wasn’t bringing the food.
They would have it catered and I
was strictly the entertainment.
I have quite a wonderful col-
lection. And I’m happy to be able
to get out and show other people.
How did the collection start
and where do you find stuff?
It started when I was 15. I went
to my first estate sale with a
friend’s mother. I bought a pair of
lace gloves and a beaded hand-
bag and I was hooked. I tell ev-
erybody it’s a sickness, but a
good one (Laughs.)

Sen. Casey presents $48,000 grant to library
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
In town Friday to announce a
$48,000 Community Facilities
grant for the Pittston Memorial
Library, Senator Bob Casey said
libraries are special places.
“We often say we are honored
to be somewhere and it can
sound trite, but today I’m really
feeling that,” Casey said.
The Senator quoted from the
David McCulloch book about
John Adams, the second presi-
dent of the Unites States, noting,
“On April 24, 1800, Pres. John
Adams approved legislation that
appropriated $5,000 to pur-
chase."
Acknowledging the govern-
ment must cut spending, he said
small grants for libraries are in-
vestments which help communi-
ties in many ways and should be
continued.

Casey also talked about his
memories of using libraries
when he was a kid and quipped,
“Had I spent more time in them I
would have gotten better

Casey acknowledged that

helped with securing the grant.
The grant comes from the U.

Tom Williams, the Pennsylvania

tor, explained Pittston is eligible
for rural status because the city’s
population is under 20,000.

EPA: The Butler didn’t do it

Residents not convinced at ‘cancer cluster’ meeting; legislators want more testing
By Jack Smiles

I
n April Chris Menichini and his father
Chuck from Carroll Street in Pittston
went public with their belief that there
was a cancer cluster in their neighborhood
and that it was likely caused by emissions
from the notorious Butler Mine Tunnel
which runs under the neighborhood.
Television news and the daily papers re-
ported their story and the publicity
prompted state agencies to have a cooper-
ative public session at the Pittston Area
Middle School on Tuesday.
Before the public meeting The Environ-
mental Protection Agency (EPA), the De-
partment of Health and the Bureau of
Abandoned Mine Reclamation manned
tables displaying information and maps.
Dennis Palladino, of Hughestown, was
there with the Bureau of Abandoned
Mine Reclamation. He had a display of
mine maps and helped people locate their
homes on the maps. “We’re getting a lot of
questions,” he said, “but everybody’s been
nice.”
After the meeting, though, many of the
residents were more frustrated than nice.

ston Township, was one. Valenti lost his Pittston residents Jeanne Zinkavich, left, Mina Hontz, and Lisa Skutack review mine maps with Robert Lewis of PA DEP North-

Final Mass today at St. John the Baptist, Exeter
By Eileen Cipriani
Dispatch Correspondent
After 106 years in existence St
John the Baptist Church,
Schooley Avenue in Exeter, will
shutter its doors for good today
after a final 2 p.m. Mass.
After the Mass long-time par-
ishioners Leona Gutowski and
Anthony Faltyn will lock the
doors for the final time. Follow-
ing the Mass parishioners will
walk in a procession with the
Blessed Sacrament to St. Antho-
ny’s for a short prayer service
and Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament.
Afterwards everyone is invited
to St. Anthony’s Parish Center to
socialize, and refreshments will
be served.
Founded by Polish immigrants
the church was the sight of thou-
sands of baptisms, weddings and
funerals. Prior to the construc-
tion the church on Schooley Ave-
nue, Polish Catholics walked to
Duryea to worship says long
time parishioner Barbara Pazd-
ziorko. Many of the earlier par-
ishioners were from Wyoming
and most worked in the local
coal mining industry.

together to form St Barbara’s
Parish at the St. Anthony’s site.
On June 4 a closing service

solidation of the Exeter Church-
es will take place on Sunday,

the new Parish name of St. Bar-
bara in Exeter.
After the special celebration, a

will be the main Church in Exe-
ter and St. Cecilia Church will be

MATTERS OF FAITH
Mass Monday on St. Marello’s Feast Day
Most Reverend John M.
Dougherty, D.D., retired auxilia-
ry Bishop of Scranton, will be
the principal celebrant and ho-
milist for Monday evening’s
Mass on the occasion of the
Feast of St. Joseph Marello,
Founder of the Congregation of
the Oblates of St. Joseph.
The solemn Mass is slated for
Monday, May 30, at 7:00 p.m. in
the Oblates of St. Joseph Semi-
nary Chapel, Route 315, Laflin.
Concelebrating with Bishop
Dougherty will be the Oblate
priests serving in the Pittston and
Hazleton areas.
Following the Mass, an out-
door reception will be held on
the seminary grounds, hosted by
the Josephite-Marellian Lay As-
sociation. All are welcome to
participate in the Mass and enjoy
the reception that will follow.
St. Joseph Marello (1844-
1895) was born in Turin, Italy
and lived most of his boyhood
years in nearby Asti. He was or-
dained a priest for the Diocese of
Asti in 1868. Ten years later he
founded the Congregation of the
Oblates of St. Joseph and shortly
thereafter was named Bishop of
Acqui, a neighboring diocese in
the Piedmont region of Italy.
St. Joseph Marello died on
May 30, 1895, in Savona, Italy.
He was beatified by Blessed
John Paul II in 1993 in his native
city of Asti and was canonized
by the same Pontiff in 2001 in St.
Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City.
In the USA, the Oblates of St.
Joseph have two provinces of PA
& CA. They are also working in
Italy, Poland, Mexico, Peru, Bra-
zil, Bolivia, Philippines, India,
Nigeria, and most recently Aus-
tralia.

St. Mary’s Assumption School closing Mass Thursday
The year 2011 will be the last
for Saint Mary’s Assumption
School in Pittston. The school
has been a center of learning for
youth in the Greater Pittston area
since 1868.
The school began in the sacris-
ty of the church on wooden
benches taught by Henry Bau-
meister. His descendents still at-
tend the school today.
A first wooden school build-
ing was built in 1890 on the cor-
ner of Church and Sand streets.
In 1924, construction of a new
school building, behind the orig-
inal building, began and remains
today as Saint Mary’s Assump-
tion School.
Generations of families have
attended Saint Mary’s. Many
new families have realized the
value of an education at Saint
Mary’s. Many teams have played
in the gym, Halloween Bonanzas
have been held on the site and
graduating classes have passed
through the doors.

School has been a part of many
families’ lives in the Greater

FACTS OF
LAW
By
Dominick P.
Pannunzio, Esq.
A federal appeals court has upheld a New
Hampshire law that requires schools to set aside
time daily for students to voluntarily recite the
Pledge of Allegiance. The ruling is the second
by a federal appeals court this year sustaining
teacher-led recitations amid challenges over
the inclusion of the words “under God” in the
Pledge. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the 1st Circuit, in Boston, ruled that
the New Hampshire requirement does not vio-
late the First Amendment’s prohibition against
government establishment of religion or other
provisions of the U.S. Constitution.
***
The Texas Open Beaches Act was passed in
1959, but the law follows a tradition dating
back to the days when Texas was part of Mex-
ico. Though a private landowner technically
owns the patch of beach in front of his house
and yard, a public easement gives the public
the right to enjoy the sand between the water
and the vegetation line, where the grass begins,
even if that line moves. It’s a popular law - so
popular that last year it was enshrined as part
of the Texas state constitution. But the Texas
Supreme Court ruled that when beach erosion
is fast - the “avulsive” erosion caused by a hur-
ricane - then the state doesn’t automatically
recover its easement.
***
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinna-
ti has found that racial tension and incidents at
a school in Tennessee were such that banning
displays of the Confederate flag was a reason-
able way to prevent disruption and violence.

Says Exeter poll workers unfairly treated
Ed note: this letter pertains to
an allegation that poll workers

I just couldn’t let this go any
longer. The workers at Exeter

fairly.
First of all the workers obvi-
ously didn’t know the tip jars
were illegal or it wouldn’t have
been there.
Where are our courthouse of-
ficials? Mr. Piazza is in charge
and he had to find out from a res-
ident of the town.
Those tip jars have been there
for as long as I can remember
and no one ever told those work-

So who is at fault here?

A gentleman who spoke on a

would never have gotten out of

To single out normal everyday

of being lax in making sure that
tip jars are legal is disgusting, es-

Memorial Day picnics
Memorial Day officially marks the beginning of summer! Many of
us are planning social get-togethers with family and friends or maybe
just a quiet day in the backyard.
Memorial Day also marks the beginning of planting gardens as it is
beyond the May 15 frost free deadline. For this holiday there isn’t
much local produce available. We might find asparagus ready to pur-
chase at some markets, however, we need to be just a bit more patient
to taste that locally grown vine ripe tomatoes or that crisp freshly
picked green pepper.
In the world of nutrition publications, the beginning of summer is
the best time of year for plant based diets. Plant based diets is another
way of saying make half of your lunch and dinner plates filled with
non starchy vegetables. To begin, look at your lunch and or dinner
plates. Draw an imaginary vertical line down the middle. Then on
one half, divide it into two equal parts. It is recommended by numer-
ous published research that adults fill the large section with non star-
chy vegetables and the two other equal sections with lean meats and
starchy foods. This is called the plate method. You may even want to
use one of your picnic paper plates and actually draw lines. Then, on
the side add 8 ounces of skim milk and 1/2 cup of fruit.
Summer picnics are a great way to introduce new recipes including
local produce or plant based foods. Penn State Extension has a pro-
duce marketing guide which introduces the proper cooking and stor-
age of many Pennsylvania grown produce. (Call our office at 825-
1701 for your copy.) New recipes and or just making something new
may be a concern with some families. Picnics may be just the time to
introduce more plant based recipes. Sharing new recipes with friends
and family really helps to get positive feedback even if you think no
one in your family will eat it.
If you are not a plant based recipe kind of cook and need a bit of a
nudge, realize that the current research shows a variety of plant based
foods included spices, reduces oxidative stress and inflammation.
Both oxidative stress and inflammation are related to Heart Disease
and Cancer. Two devastating diseases that we hope to avoid in our
families lives. So how do we begin? Look for recipes that include non
starchy vegetables. Throughout the summer, this column will high-
light local produce and non starchy vegetable recipes.
Try this recipe as strawberries are at a great price. The walnuts in
the salad may aid in reducing inflammation in the body.

Victoriana
Continued from Page 4
Estate sales, auctions, antique
shops, years ago flea markets
and thrift stores, but not so much
anymore. Since eBay, it’s diffi-
cult to just happen upon things.
Now a lot of my items come
from donations. During my
shows I’ll explain this was donat-
ed by so and so in honor of their
family. I get a lot of calls from
people who offer me things be-
cause no one in their family
wants them or they don’t have
any heirs and they don’t want
them thrown away.
I treasure those pieces because
not only do I take them out on my
traveling museum show, but they
will be included in my book, so
they will be remembered.
My mother used to roll her
eyes and say what are you going
to do with all this stuff. Well,
now I’m writing a book, so it’s all
come to pass.
Describe the book.
It’s a hardcover large format
book with lots of pictures, de-
scriptions and text. It covers
fashion and accessories of the
Victorian Era when Queen Vic-
toria was Queen from1837-1901.
She set the standards for the day
for fashion, etiquette, manners.
It also encompasses Edwardian
Era. Things didn’t change over-
night when Queen died. Fashion
evolved.
I’m proud that it’s the first
hardcover book in the genre.
How as the internet helped
the Victoriana Lady?
I’ve been all over the East
Coast. I’ve done shows in Geor-
gia, North Carolina, Connecti-
cut, and New York, New Jersey. I
love it. It’s a privilege to share the
history of our ancestors.
In Georgia I did a program for
the Ladies Tea Guild. I spoke at
the Grand Wisteria Bed and
Breakfast. I did a program in
South Carolina at King’s Inn in
Summerville about and hour
from Charleston where they had
a Victorian festival.
In Connecticut I did a Victor-
ian bridal program. They found
me through my website or face-
book.
How did you come up with
the name Victoriana Lady?
When I set up the business I
PAGE 16
had to have a name and a domain
for the website. Victorian Lady
Lisa Lewis
was already taken so I went with
Victoriana Lady because Victor-
iana encompasses everything
that has to do with the era. I
didn’t want to be limited to fash-
ions. I talk about the history,
what life was like. I have an Ellis
Island program, a program for
children.
What’s the Passion Project?
I set up a Victorian Mourning
facebook page because one of
my programs is about the two-
year mourning period required
of ladies in the Victorian Age. I
also enjoyed cemetery photogra-
phy.
To me they are like outdoor
museums. My family is buried in
Hollenback. In college one of my
projects was cemetery photos.
Though facebook, a mutual
friend introduced me to John.
John was working on a Civil War
book and he needed a Victorian
consultant.
I was a fan of his cemetery
photography, but didn’t know
who he was. We realized we had
a lot in common, became friends
and then realized we couldn’t
live without each other.
The Passion Project is a histor-
ical entertainment company. It
encompasses The Victoriana La-
dy, my book, his books, a gallery
show he has coming up and his-
torical events at the Stegmaier
Mansion.
∝ Fashion Program, Historic West
How did you get involved
with the Stegmaier Mansion?
I missed catering afternoon
teas. There was only one other
tea room in the area and they
were often booked. I knew the
owner Joe Matteo and I ap-
proached him about doing teas.
That led to other events like the
Last Luncheon on the Titanic.

Jenkins man tabbed

Governor nominates Bill Lewis

When Bill Lewis was in kin-
dergarten he could recite Presi-
dents of the United States in
chronological order. “They
took me around to the older
students. Look what he can do.
Obnoxious stuff like that,” he
said with a laugh.
But there is nothing obnox-
ious about Lewis’s love and
knowledge of history, a love
which has landed him on a
nomination to the Pennsylvania
Historical and Museum Com-
mission, or PHMC.
Lewis, from Jenkins Town-
ship, was one of nine Penn-
sylvanians nominated to serve
on the commission by Gov. Bill Lewis

even greater reason
for area residents to
visit area cemeteries,
into the past
pause and pay tribute to
With Judy Minsavage
our brave veterans?
1948 – 63 Years Ago
Leo T. Hall, of West Pittston and
seaman in the U.S. Navy stationed
aboard the battleship New Jersey, re-
ceived the American Campaign Medal
for his extended service in 1944 and
1945. President Franklin D. Roosevelt
authorized the American Campaign
Medal on November 6 1942. Thomas
Hudson Jones designed the medal;
Adolph A. Wienman designed the re-
verse side. It can be viewed at
www.ww2awards.com/award/268.
The New Jersey was built at the Phila-
delphia Naval Shipyard, and launched
December 7, 1942- just a year after the
Pearl Harbor Attack. The battleship
opened as an educational museum and a
tribute to the brave sailors who served
on her during her long and distinguished
career on October 2001 at the Philadel-
phia Naval Shipyard.
It wasn’t a party at the American
Party Favor Company on North Main
Street that attracted the attention of
police, but a dispute between the owners
of the company and the District 50 CIO
(Congress of Industrial Organization)
Union representing its employees. Pitt-
ston Mayor John Allardyce ordered
those involved to meet to achieve an
agreement, but owner Sam Rosenthal
refused stating the union refused to
renounce Communism in accordance
with government regulations. Taft-Har-
tley Labor Manager Relations Act of
1947 targeted Communists within the
labor movement requiring union officers
to sign affidavits affirming they were
not members of the Communist Party.
Several attempts were made to quell the
altercations, but police confirmed the
situation unchanged.
A delegation of legionnaires from
Jenkins Township Post 938 blazed a trail
to a plot of land at the end of the old
Blanchard farm, beneath the No. 14
Colliery Bridge in Port Blanchard,
where a neglected cemetery covered in
deep brush was located. The cemetery,
which was once reclaimed by the WPA
project, contained several Civil War
veterans. After a time, the cemetery was
once again forgotten. After clearing only
a part of the area, they only found one
soldier’s grave.
1958 – 53 Years Ago
Rose Marie Bella of Dupont took the
“first phase” of the Singer Sewing Com-
pany’s National Dressmaking Cham-
pionship winning out over 35 local com-
petitors. Her dress was on its way to
New Jersey to complete for the grand
prize of $125,000. The company also
had a Young Homemakers Division in
which Rosemary Amico of Pittston was
judged a winner.

man and Janet Irvin were known as the
Sammy Tremont Hi-Hat Steppers.
The dancers won the Scranton Home
Talent Show and were on their way to
New York for an appearance on Ted
Mack’s Amateur Hour.
1968 – 43 Years Ago
Julia Olszewski announced that the
Polish Women’s Alliance Group 267
Dupont would mark the fiftieth anni-
versary of their founding with a cele-
bration. The year also saw the 70th anni-
versary of the parent organization.
Membership in The Polish Women’s
Alliance of America exceeded 100,000,
making it the largest Polish Women’s
organization in the world. Stefania
Chmielinska, a Chicago seamstress,
founded the PWAA on May 22, 1898.
Bill Hagan, Joseph Cortegerone,
Leon Galavitz, Andrew Deliarte,
Frank Charno, Leo Heffers, John
Basta and Joseph Cupani were not
going to let the closing of their favorite
gathering place get them down. The
gentlemen from Wyoming enjoyed get-
ting together for a friendly game of pitch
and conversation at the local pool hall.
After it closed, the group got together,
painted and set up their own place, call-
ing it the Wyoming Rec.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. John Ford,
West Pittston, Chief Warrant Officer,
George P. Ford, received a Bronze Star
for meritorious service. Ford served in
Vietnam during the period of November
1966 to September 1967. The citation
read, “Chief Warrant Officer Ford,
through his untiring efforts and profes-
sional ability, consistently obtained
outstanding results, was quick to grasp
new problems and to find ways to solve
those problems.” His extensive knowl-
edge has contributed to the efforts of the
US mission in Vietnam.”
Rocky Glen Park celebrated Nestle
Candy Day by giving out one case of
Nestle’s Crunch Candy Bars every hour.
The park also offered free Bonomo
Turkish Taffy to the first 350 families.
Bonomo’s Turkish Taffy first appeared
as a nickel bar after World War II, ac-
cording to oldtimecandy.com. Tico
Bonomo described the treat as “not
really a taffy but what is technically
known as a short nougat. Nor is it Turk-
ish. It was not a family recipe and the
name we chose, ‘Turkish Taffy,’ just
reflected clever marketing,” he said.
1978 – 33 Years Ago
Frank Alu, of Pittston and graduate
of King’s College, became the first
King’s student to participate in the
Washington Center for Learning Al-
ternatives in Washington D.C. He also
served as a congressional intern in the
office of the Hon. Michael T. Blouin
from Iowa. According to the twc.edu
website “The Washington Center was
founded in the fall of 1975, has grown
from a program of 51 students from a
handful of colleges to a global network
of thousands of students and hundreds
of universities.” William Burke, the
founder, created the center to cultivate
and promote leadership among young
Americans. In its 35th year, the Center
is the largest academic internship pro-
gram in the country and in the world.
Just $1000 short of their goal, Maria
Capolarella, Angelo Marcino, Atty.
Joseph Augello, Thomas Sewatsky,
Jerry Mullarkey, Louis Marino, Ge-
orge DeGerolamo, Jean Campbell and
Frank Lena, members of the Pittston
Bicentennial Horizons Committee, ap-
pealed to residents to donate funds for a
memorial to commemorate the coal
miner’s contribution to the Wyoming
Valley. At a cost of $9,000, a re-worked
design was proposed to be carved from
Vermont Granite and stand approximate-
ly ten feet high. A huge piece of anthra-
cite coal was added as an addition to the
memorial.

have in common? They all played bas-
ketball in Avoca where the game was
king. Many outstanding players started
at the Avoca American Legion under the
Jolly Boys.
Around 1963 a group of softball-
playing veterans acquired a building on
Main Street and transformed it into a
gymnasium. Using the words from a
victory song they used to sing after their
games, they called themselves the Jolly
Boys.

Four get borough council write-in nominations

Milazzo GOP nod creates interesting November race in Jenkins Twp.
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor
On Tuesday the Bureau of
Elections released the names
of people who won write-in
nominations in the May 17 pri-
mary election.
In the local municipalities
four new candidates were add-
ed to the November council
ballot by write-ins, one in Exe-
ter, one in West Pittston and
two in Yatesville.
In Exeter, where four council
seats are up Sharon Korba won
a Republican write-in slot.
She’ll oppose Democrat win-
ners John Morgan, Joseph J.
Esposito and Larry Dellegrotto
who also won Republican
write-ins for double nomina-
tions and Democrat Denise
Adams.
In West Pittston, where three
seats are up former councilman
Kevin Lescavage won a Demo-
cratic write-in nomination.
He’ll oppose Republicans John
Hood and Peter Albano who
won Democrat write-in nomi-
nations for double nominations
and Republican Jim Rose.
In Yatesville, where two
seats are up Frank J. Gattuso
and Joseph Lombardo won Re-
publican write-in nominations.
They will oppose Democratic
incumbent councilmen Joseph
Zambetti III, Christopher Liz-
za, and Paul Farber.
In Duryea, where three seats
are up Democrats Lois Hanc-
zyc and Audrey Yager won
Republican write-ins for dou-
ble nominations and they and
Democrat Alfred Akulonis will
have no opposition.
In Wyoming, Borough
Council Republican Stephen C.
Nalewajko won a Democratic
write-in and will have no op-
position for his second ward
seat.
In Jenkins Township, Coreen
A. Milazzo, who won the
Democratic nomination for a
two-year seat in the primary
also won a Republican write-in
and will be unopposed there.
Milazzo also won a write-in
for the Republican nomination
for the six-year seat where
she’ll oppose Democratic pri-
mary winner Stanley Rovinski.
If Milazzo were to win both
she would chose a seat, two or
six-year, and the other would
be filled by appointment.
Rovinski said he’ll have to
campaign. “Now, I have race
on my hands. I’ll have to
spend some money. If she
beats me, that’s that. It’s the up
to the people.”

Wyoming Area budget includes tax increase

By William Bell
Times Leader Correspondent
The Wyoming Area School
Board is faced with several un-
knowns as it works to finalize the
2011-2012 budget.
Tom Melone of Albert B. Mel-
one Co., the district’s business
manager, listed some of the vari-
ables facing the board at its
meeting Monday.
They are the final version of
the pending state budget, possi-
ble additional changes to school
funding by the office of Gov-
.Tom Corbett, a dozen pending
new state legislation bills con-
cerning school funding, possible
changes to retirement benefits
for teachers, and the fact that
Wyoming Area does not have a
new teachers’ contract finalized.
Melone broke down the pro-
posed almost $29 million. The
district in addition to cost cutting
measures and non-replacement
of most retiring professional and
support staff will utilize a por-
tion of its fund balance of
$1,675,000 to fill the shortfall of
$868,000 in the proposed bud-
get.
The proposed budget calls for
a tentative tax increase of 5.7
mills for the District’s Luzerne
County municipalities and 7.2
mills for its Wyoming County
municipality. Wyoming Area is

 Proposed PA budget calls for tax increase
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2011

By William Bell
Times Leader Correspondent
Pittston Area School District held a
combined work session/board meeting
Tuesday night before an overflow crowd.
The Board approved a proposed budget
of just under $40 million.
Al Melone of Albert B. Melone and
Company, the district’s business consult-
ant, presented a detailed proposed budget
for 2011-12. He explained the district’s
budget has been adversely affected by
proposed state cutbacks and the limita-
tions imposed by contractual obligations,
especially salaries and benefits.
Melone showed a detailed breakdown
reflecting the need for the district to in-
crease real estate tax and also to use part
of its ending balance to alleviate an esti-
mated $943,000 shortfall. He broke down
the district’s proposed tax increase of
$449,000 as .3238 mills.
This action would increase taxes on the
average home in the district by $37 a year,
according to his calculations. A mill is a
$1 tax on every $1,000 of assessed proper-
ty value.
Melone said that as part of the proposed
budget, the district would not be replacing
six of eight retiring teachers. At this point,
board member Mark Singer questioned
the shifting of staff to fill the position of a
middle school music teacher.
This triggered a lengthy discussion be-
tween Singer and Superintendent George
Cosgrove, and numerous comments from
music students’ parents and band parents
in the audience.
Singer attempted to have a motion
passed to reinstate the music teacher posi-
tion prior to the vote on the budget. His
motion was tabled, and the proposed bud-
get was passed by a 5-4 vote.
However, the board when voting on the
Luzerne Intermediate Unit proposed bud-
get, failed to approve it by a 5-4 vote.
This was also followed by a vote of the
board to rescind the appointment of Sing-
er to represent the district at the Interme-
diate Unit.
Solicitor Joseph Saporito explained
that this vote might end up being moot if
the Intermediate Unit had already taken
action on the district’s past vote to appoint
Singer. The vote to rescind the past vote
for the appointment of Singer was 5-4 to
rescind.
Melone explained the proposed budget
would be available for public review and
comment for 30 days, and the board
would be able to change any item subject
to the final passing next month.
The district’s next regular meeting will
be June 27 at 7 p.m., but the board might
schedule a special meeting before then.

The Butler Mine Tunnel story
began on July 29, 1979, when an
oily slick appeared on the Sus-
quehanna River just north of the
Fort Jenkins Bridge.
The slick was traced to the ille-
gal dumping of hazardous chem-
icals by the Hudson Oil Refining
Corp. of Edgewater, N.J., into a
four-inch borehole 3 and 1/2
miles from the outlet of the tun-
nel near a truck service garage
on Rt. 315. The borehole drained
into the Butler Mine system.
In the 1970s Hudson dumped
between 1.5 and 2.7 million gal-
lons of oil, liquid cyanide and
carcinogenic petrochemicals in-
to the borehole.

 Flag raising at hunting cabin fulfills Dale
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2011

Al Kridlo has been a member

of the Upper Pittston Sports-
men’s Club most of his life so it
was only natural that he got his
sons involved in the hunting and
fishing group that owns a cabin
in Forkston. His son Dale partic-
ular loved going to the cabin, Al
relates, and when Dale was de-
ployed to Afghanistan with the
U.S. Army, he always told his
dad the cabin needed an Amer-
ican flag flying on its grounds.
But not just any American flag,
Dale stressed, it needed an
American flag that had flown in
Afghanistan.
Dale Kridlo said he would
bring such a flag home with him
Albert Kridlo, right, and his mother Alberta during the rifle salute and his father promised to erect a

Then, on Nov. 7, 2010, Dale
was killed in action. He is buried
in Arlington National Cemetery.
To fulfill his dream, his broth-
ers in arms brought home a flag
from Afghanistan and last Satur-
day, May 21, which happened to
be Armed Forces Day, a flag rais-
ing ceremony in Dale’s honor
was conducted at the cabin.

At this moment there isn’t any

Our inner feelings are sad,
We’ve lost somewhere dear
and that’s bad.
Yes there are tombstones to re-

As each person was a family

Sadness prevails on this par-

While remaining a memory,
and a time to pray.

Good time to thank those who fought for our freedom
Memorial Day is a solemn oc-
casion in America when we
pause and give thanks for all of
the brave men and women who
laid down their lives in service to
our country.
It is especially significant this
year as so many of us still feel the
sting of the untimely passing of
former Duryea resident U.S. Ar-
my Spc. Dale J. Kridlo who sac-
rificed his life for our country on
November 7, 2010 in Kunar
province, Afghanistan.
Although so many of us wish
we had the power to bring our
loved ones back, the one thing
we can do is unite and thank God
that we live in a country which
raises her citizens to fight and
defend the freedoms we enjoy as
Americans. God bless America!
Happy Birthday

Pittston Area’s Dave McLean wasn’t a
happy camper when the District 2 Class

were postponed for the third time last
Thursday. But that didn’t slow down the
Patriots’ top distance runner when the time
to race came on Saturday.
McLean posted a season-best time of
4:29.42 to win district gold in the 1600m

seconds better than his seed time of
4:37.00.
“Mostly, it’s been a tough week,”
McLean told the Times Leader. “I wasn’t
happy Thursday when they (postponed it).
It was not good.”
But McLean was at his best on Saturday
and used a different approach in running
his best race of the season.
“Usually I run out front,” said McLean.
“This time, I held back more and in the last
lap, I kicked.”

LEGION BASEBALL

WVAL champs return core players

Greater Pittston team dominated by Wyoming Area players
By Bill Riccetti
Dispatch Intern
June 1st will start the begin-
ning of the Wyoming Valley
American Legion Baseball
league and Greater Pittston is
looking to make an impact.
“This is basically the same
team that won the league
championship last year, minus
a few guys,” said manager
Drew Whyte. “Our goal this
year is to make the playoffs
and hopefully get hot like we
did last year.”
Whyte coached Wyoming
Area baseball for 26 years so
he is familiar with the roster
of this Legion team which pri-
marily consists of kids from
WA. The 18-man roster shows
many young talents that
Whyte hopes will lead them to
another good playoff run.
“You have 35 days for 21
games so if you don’t have
solid pitching then you are in
trouble,” said Whyte.
Pitching seems to be one of
their strong points with
Wyoming Area junior Dylan
Maloney taking the mound on
day one. Following him will
be WA senior Chris Murphy
and post-graduate Andre Har-
ris.
The depth of Greater Pitt-
ston’s bullpen will be utilized
with pitchers Anthony Belli-
no, Sam Eramo, Erik Walk-
oviak, and David Drahus – all
Wyoming Area products.
“I am confident in our
pitching,” said Whyte. “We
have some talented kids.”
Without good offense a
pitcher’s good outing can be
wasted. However this team has
great confidence in its hitting.
The lineup is not yet final-
ized, however the catcher, Pitt-
ston Area senior Ron Musto,
will most likely be batting
cleanup. Also in the mix is
Dallas slugger, Traves DeBo-
na who was collected on waiv-
ers before the season began.
The team will also sport the
talents of Wyoming Area’s
Nick O’Brien and Kody Now-
icki, two very good hitters that
will most likely be playing in
the middle of the infield. An-
other good hitter, WA’s Kyle
Colarusso will most likely be
seeing covering first. Trent
Grove may also be there or he
may be behind the plate.
Randy McDermott, a for-
mer cleanup hitter for WA,
will bring depth to the of-
fense. The outfielders will
consist of Matt Carroll, Ryan
Casey, PJ Bone, and Cody
Poder.
The team will be coached by
Joe Sobeski, a former player
and winner of the league
championship.
While the team has good
pitching and offensive depth,
Whyte is concerned about one
aspect of his teams play.
“We need to catch the ball,”
he said. “We can pitch, we can
hit, we just need to play good
defense.”
Whyte thinks they will be
fine and hopes they can all
gain something out of this ex-
perience.
“I just hope that the kids
learn from playing ball and
take it into life with them,” he
said. “I hope it helps them be-
come better people.”

season in Tunkhannock on
Wednesday at 5:45 p.m.

Late-inning magic turns Errors doom Warriors in
table on Pittston Area District 2 quartersfinals
Patriots lose late lead to AH
By Matt Page
Dispatch Correspondent
Pittston Area had the tables turned on
them Friday afternoon as Abington
Heights rallied with 10 runs in the final
three inning – including five runs in the top
of the seventh - to earn a 10-7 win and
knock the Patriots out of the District 2
Class 3A tournament at the Bucky Harris
Sports Complex in Hughestown.
The third-seeded Patriots took a 5-0 lead
into the fifth inning as starter Jordan Bone
cruised through the first four innings.
But the Comets finally got to Bone in the
fifth, scoring two runs to chase the lefty as
Pittston Area went to Chuck Bressler in re-
lief. Abington Heights got to Bressler as
well, scoring three runs off the junior in one
inning of work to tie the game at 5-5 enter-
ing the home half of the sixth.
The Patriots scored what seemed like
two insurance runs in the sixth to push its
advantage to 7-5, but the Comets went to
work in the seventh off of PA closer Kyle
Callahan.
Abington scored four earned runs off of
the righty on four hits and two walks to take
a 10-7 lead.

WA eliminated by Valley View
By Matt Petrini
Dispatch Correspondent
Behind a complete-game, five-strikeout
performance by Cameron Damski, top-
seeded Valley View ousted Wyoming Ar-
ea, 6-2, in the quarterfinals of the District
2 Class 3A tournament at the Valley View
Sports Complex on Friday afternoon.
And if Damski wasn’t good enough to
begin with, the Warriors compounded
their problems by committing four costly
errors which played a huge role in the loss.
The Cougars built an early 2-0 lead in
the second inning, scoring two unearned
runs in a sign of things to come for the
eighth-seeded Warriors.
More trouble loomed in the third as WA
starter starter Ron Klepadlo walked Dam-
ski to start the inning. But after setting
down the next two batters he faced, Kle-
padlo issued another walk to set up Matt
Staback.
Staback drilled a fly ball into center
which was mishandled, allowing two Cou-
gars to score. Valley View tacked on two
more runs in the inning, and Wyoming Ar-
ea trailed 6-0. WA's Ryan Carey rounds third base on

Dom Avvisato. Argust then
scored on a bloop single over the
shortstop’s head by Russ
McGlynn for a 1-0 lead. McGlynn
– who reached base in all four of
his at-bats – advanced to second
on a passed ball and scored when
Gary Puckett ripped a single to
center.
Two pitches later Chris Talipski
was hit with a pitch, and on a 2-2
count, Goodall ripped a fastball
over the right field fence for a
three-run homer and a 5-0 lead.
On the mound, Goodall retired
the first six batters before allow-
ing a humpback liner over Ar-
gust’s head at third base. But the
veteran righty struck out the next
three batters, and retired seven

Old Forge back in D2 title game
Pittston Area, Wyoming Area eliminated in Class 3A
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff
After a season filled with in-
consistency, the Old Forge soft-
ball team is finally hitting its
stride. And it couldn’t have
come at a more perfect time.
The three-time defending
District 2 Class 1A champion
Blue Devils manufactured
some offense and flashed some
leather on defense to beat top-
seeded Northwest, 4-1, on Fri-
day afternoon at Northwest Ar-
ea High School in Shickshinny
to advance to the district title
game for the sixth straight sea-
son. Old Forge will play Blue
Ridge on Wednesday at a site
and time to be determined.
The Blue Devils put runners
on in the first two innings
against Northwest starter Ra-
chel Linso who had fanned over
150 batters on the season but it
was some third-inning magic
that put Old Forge on the board.
Freshmen Taylor Nemetz and
Lauren Carey started the inning
with back-to-back singles to
give the Blue Devils first and
third with no out. Carey stole
second with Andi Alsalahat at
the plate and when a third strike
on Alsalahat got away from La-
dy Rangers’ catcher Maranda
Koehn, the Old Forge shortstop
beat the throw to first to load the
bases.
Winning-pitcher Nicole Mar-
ianelli followed with a sacrifice
fly to score Nemetz, and when
the throw trying to get the Old
Forge right fielder at the plate
skidded into the Northwest du-
gout, Carey was awarded home
for a 2-0 lead. Chelsea Cadwal-
der made the score 3-0 with a
sacrifice fly to center which
easily scored Alsalahat who had
moved to third on the errant
throw.
The Old Forge defense was
stellar throughout the contest,
starting in the second inning
when first baseman Dana Bilski
picked an Alsalahat throw out
of the dirt for the third out of the
inning with runners on first and
second. The Blue Devils then
showed Marianelli some glove

in the third when Cadwalder
made a nice catch on a foul pop
and Alsalahat snared a liner to
strand two more Northwest run-
ners.
In the fourth it was the out-
fielders’ turn as left fielder Jess
Casey and Carey in center both
made outstanding plays on
back-to-back hard-hit balls to
end the inning. Bilski started
the fifth by stabbing a liner
down the first base line for an
out, and second baseman Briah
Carling recorded the final two
outs of the inning with a runner
on second.
Northwest finally got to Mar-
ianelli in the bottom of the sixth
on a bloop single to right and
two infield singles, but Alsala-
hat dove to stop the second in-
field single from reaching the
outfield and when she got to her
feet, threw out the runner at sec-
ond base who had wandered too
far off on the play for the second
out of the inning. Marianelli
struck out the next hitter to end
the inning and turn momentum
back to the Blue Devils.

with a double to the left center-
field gap to give Old Forge sec-
ond and third with no out.
Linso got Alsalahat to ground
out to third, but Marianelli de-
livered another sacrifice fly to
plate Nemetz with an insurance
run and a 4-1 lead.
Northwest (13-2), the Wyom-
ing Valley Conference Division
III champions, looked to rally in
the bottom of the seventh but
Nemetz turned a single to right
into the first out of the inning
when she fielded the sharp
grounder by Rachel Whitesell
and fired to Bilski at first for the
out. Marianelli then induced a
liner to Carey in center, and af-
ter a two-out double got a popup
to Carling at second for the fi-
nal out of the game.
Marianelli scattered eight hits
and one walk over seven innings
to earn the win for Old Forge (6-
10). She also finished 2-for-2

starter Damski in the fourth.
After a leadoff groundout to
start the inning, Dylan Maloney
laced a single to right to give the
Warriors their first hit of the
game. Senior Kody Nowicki fol-
lowed one batter later with an in-
field single but WA stranded the
two runners when Damski
fanned the final hitter of the in-
ning.
It wasn’t until the fifth inning
when the Warriors put a dent in
the scoreboard compliments of
Nick O’Brien.
After a leadoff single by Kyle
Colarusso, the sophomore con-
nected on the first home run of
his career, a bomb over the left
field fence to get Wyoming Area
within 6-2.
With momentum switching
slowly to the Green and Gold,
Trent Grove ignited the Warrior
hopeful again, connecting on a
deep fly ball to center which
looked to be heading over the
fence, but was held in play by the
wind. Ryan Carey followed with
an infield single but the War-
riors hopes were diminished
when Damski induced a double-
play.
Entering the sixth inning,
Maloney connected on his sec-
ond hit of the game - a double
but Damski sat down the final
three Warriors of the inning.
Using his curve ball effective-
ly, Damski completed his per-
formance by retiring the War-
riors in the seventh to end
Wyoming Area’s season one
game short of last year’s district
semifinal appearance.
WA 5, North Pocono 4
Despite leaving eight men in
scoring position through the sev-
enth, eighth and ninth innings,
Wyoming Area came through in
the 10th when senior Chris Mur-
phy delivered a walk-off single
to propel the Warriors to a thrill-
ing 5-4 victory over North Poco-
no in the first round of the Dis-
trict 2 Class 3A playoffs on
Wednesday afternoon at the At-
las Sports Complex in West Pitt-
ston.
“I fouled off a few pitches off
but I never gave up the at-bat. I
was able to poke one through the
field for my team,” Murphy said
on his walk-off hit.
“After stranding several play-
ing on base, I asked the guys,
‘Who wants to step up?’ Luckily
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2011
Murphy answered that call,”
added WA Head Coach Chic
Andrewscavage.
Trailing 2-0 entering the home
half of the third, the Warriors of-
fense ignited for three runs all
coming with two-outs.
Table setter Ryan Carey start-
ed the two-out rally, ripping a
double to left. After a Murphy
walk, junior Dylan Maloney
drilled an RBI single to center
plating Carey. Randy McDer-
mott highlighted the inning with
a two-run double to center scor-
ing Murphy and Maloney to give
WA a 3-2 advantage after three.
After Maloney silenced the
Trojan bats in the fourth, he re-
ceived another insurance run in
the home half of the inning.
Senior PJ Bone led off with a
triple to center and was later
plated on a sacrifice fly by Trent
Grove to increase the Warriors
lead to 4-2.
On cruise control entering the
fifth, Maloney looked sharp.
But with one swing, North Poco-
no’s Bill Nelson launched the
Trojans right back into the game
with a solo home run over the
left field fence, trimming the
Warriors lead to 4-3..
North Pocono got even in the
sixth on an RBI groundout by
Tyler Cunningham tying the
game at 4-4.
Both teams remained dead-
locked well into extra innings as
Maloney continued to pitch
strong, striking out five of his
game high nine batters after the
seventh inning.
“He threw 120 pitches. We
needed to stick with him and he
felt fine. He’s been throwing a
lot of innings for us. We felt
good sticking with him,” An-
drewscavage said.
Entering the 10th, the War-
riors were able to close out their
thrilling performance in style as
Murphy lined an 0-2 fastball to
right to score Grove who beat the
throw home for the Warriors.
Wyoming Area went to Ron
Klepadlo in the 10th as high
school pitching rules allow for
hurlers to toss no more than nine
innings in one outing. Klepadlo
worked around two walks and
did not allow a hit in the 10th to
earn the win on the mound for
the Warriors.
