I’m due for a colonoscopy,which makes me think of won-ton soup and presidential poli-tics.

Give me a minute and I’ll tryto explain.

A little more than eight yearsago my doctor informed me itwas time. I knew what he wastalking about before he said theword.

The thing with colon cancer,he explained, is that if youdiscover the signs early, it’s no

big deal, if you don’t, it’s adeath sentence.

That was enough for me.But just the thought of it

made me cringe.I’m not even all that comfort-

able with my dental hygienist

sticking her fingers in mymouth.Anyone who’s gone through

this procedure, however, willtell you it’s nothing to be con-cerned about.

And I agree.That’s mainly because you

don’t remember it.

The drug that accomplishesthis let’s you know why people

become addicts.Since you must fast before

the procedure, they serve you breakfast right after it. My wifesaid she never saw a happier look on my face than when Idove into that banana, to whichI responded, “Banana?”

That’s how good this drug is.I had no recollection of eat-

ing a banana, let alone of adoctor snooping around insideof me.

Apparently while eating the banana I kept insisting they had not yet done the procedure.

I repeat, good drug.So, I have no apprehension

about another colonoscopy.

The fasting is another story.I hear these days they haveyou fast for 24 hours. Believe itor not, that’s a relief.

I had to fast for two full dayslast time, 48 hours of nothing

but clear fluids and, oh yes, acouple of bottles of citrate of magnesium, which does what

you think it does.When the medical people say

they want you “clean” theymean it.

That’s where the wonton soupcomes in.

A colleague at the collegeand a close friend for some 25years had said weeks earlier that he wanted to take me out tolunch as soon as the springsemester ended.

He was about 19 or 20 whenwe first met, he as a collegeintern at this newspaper, and Ias managing editor. I guess I’mclose to 15 years older than heand through the years I appar-ently had stabbed the check every time we got together over food or drinks.

I hadn’t noticed but he had.And he insisted it was time toturn the tables.

Nice gesture.The problem was working

out a time.Our schedules were so

packed it seemed nearly impos-sible to get together.

That’s why when we finallyfound a suitable date, one after-noon right after exam week, Iinsisted we keep it … eventhough it turned out to be onone of the aforementioned “twodays.”

“But you won’t be able to eatanything,” he stressed withgenuine concern.

“I’ll find something,” I coun-tered. “Besides, if we don’t dothis now, God knows when wewill. And it’s not about eatingfood as much as it is abouthaving a relaxing conversation.”

We went to a Chinese buffet,his favorite, and while he filled his plate – the first of severaltimes, I might add – I scouted around for an item I could han-

dle.I eyed up the Jello squaresfor a good 30 seconds beforerejecting them on their rednessand finally settled on a cup of wonton soup … with, of course, no wontons.

Oh, and I did drink some hottea.

At the register, my friend paid the flat rate for the buffethe consumed and I told theyoung lady all I had was won-ton soup with no wontons.

I spared her the details.Puzzled, she went in search

of the manager and came back and told my friend the chargefor me would be 19 cents.

It’s been eight years and Iwill not let him live down thefact that the one time lunch wason him, it cost him all of 19cents.

It was a presidential electionyear and the primaries had justended. Then, as now, there wasmuch talk from every candidateabout all the marvelous thingsthey were going to do for the

middle class.All I kept thinking, though,was that in my experience, anytime a politician talked abouthelping the middle class, theresult turned out to be a lot likea 19-cent bowl of wonton soupwith no wontons.

Or a colonoscopy.

To Care and Concern Food Pantry director Peggy Burke,what happens at the pantry is

akin to the Biblical story of theloaves and fishes. “Whenever itgets low,” she said. “Food ap-pears from somewhere.”

Not that what happens there ismiraculous, but it is amazing.The pantry opened four yearsago this month in the old SetonCatholic High School and, sincethen, hasdistributed 35,000 bags

of food to low-income familiesin the 15 towns throughout thePittston and Wyoming areas.

When the pantry first opened,food baskets were distributed to25 families a week. Today, they

are distributed to 80 families aweek on a rotating basis.

The pantry has not onlygrownin quantity, but also in quality.Four years ago, the pantry dis-tributed non-perishables only,such as canned goods and boxesof cereal and pasta.

Now the pantry also distrib-utes milk, donated by Blue Rib-

bon Farm Dairy; meat and bread,donated by Wal-Mart; and freshfruits and vegetables donated byan anonymous local business-man.

Thepantryalso gets food from

the Weinberg Regional Food Bank in Wilkes-Barre and Feed-ing America of which Wal-Martis a member. “We get an enor-mous amount from Wal-Mart,”Burke said.

Thenthere isthe foodthat“ap- pears from somewhere” donated

Proud to be a member of the Greater Pittston Chamber of Commerce

by private citizens, VFWs and other clubs, firemen, dancegroups and sports teams.

The pantry has also gone dig-ital with a donated computer and has gotten wheels with a donated van.

The 20-plus volunteers rangefrom the food handlers, numer-ous; to the box cutter, Bob Clar-

ke; to the Information Technolo-gy guy, Carl Boos.

The pantry is sponsored by theCare and Concern Ministries of theParish Communityof St.Johnthe Evangelist, which also runsadult and pediatric health clinicsand a Children’s Clothes Closet.

Msgr. John J. Bendik, pastor of the Parish Community, is im-

pressed by the ministries’ projects which began with the healthclinic the year before the food

pantry. “Phenomenal,” he said.“People were coming to thehealth clinic asking for food and

Peggy asked if we could open afood pantry. These guys work sohard. People in the Greater Pitt-ston community are willing toserve. And it’s great that it’s herein Seton Catholic. Otherwise,this building wouldn’t be used or would have to be rented out and that wouldn’t be right. Since the

Civil War, thisschool taught stu-dents to serve the communityand the Gospel and that contin-ues.”

In additionto food distributionevery Wednesday, the food pan-try runs two special programs, agiveaway of 400 Christmas din-ners of turkey with all the trim-mings and an adult winter coatgiveaway. Right now, the pantryis accepting gently-used adultwinter coats.

Burke said the pantry has had the same core groupof 24volun-teers forall four years of itsexist-ence and could use a few morefor the heavy lifting. “We’re al-ways in need of young men onWednesday mornings from 10 to

11:15 to carry food bags and bas-kets out to cars.”

Jane Moss, a St. John’s parish-ioner, was inspired to volunteer

by her mother, Jane Roche, oneof the original 24. “I’m here tohelp out somebody less fortu-nate,” Moss said. “We all have aneed sometime.”

Zimmerman, 41, was the vic-tim ofan act of nature. Nineoth-ers were injured in the lightningstrike just after a heavy thunder-storm system caused officials tocall the Pennsylvania 400 early.

Zimmerman was near his car in a parking lot after the race had ended when lightning struck thecar, said Monroe County Coro-

ner Robert M. Allen.Bystanders performed CPR on himafter he went into cardiacarrest until paramedics arrived,Allen said. Paramedics took Zimmerman to the track’s med-ical facility where efforts to re-vive him failed. The strike oc-curred at about 5:01 p.m., thetrack confirmed.

Zimmerman left behind hiswife, Marion, sons, Cole Patrick and Chase Randolph, and adaughter, Lana Christine.

“His wife and mother-in-lawworked for mewhenI had Bright

Smiles Day Care Center,” Hanc-zyc said. “It’s so tragic what hap-

pened.”The track has established a

fund for Zimmerman’s threechildren. “We’re going to con-tribute to that,” Hanczyc said.

Jill Grogan was seven months

pregnant in 2010 when she found out her husband,45-year-old Ar-thur, had a brain tumor, specifi-cally a GBM- GlioblastomaMultiforme IV.

After three surgeries andtravelto Philadelphia and elsewherefor treatments, the bills have

been piling up. “The expensesare mounting,” Jill said.

Whenhe was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2010, he under-went surgery to remove it. He’s

been battling with recurrenceand a new tumor ever since, one

near his right temporal lobe and one in his right frontal lobe.

He lost the use of his left sideand now walkswith a cane and aleg brace.

Their church, Jill said, helped keep thefamily strong. The Gro-gans have two children, a daugh-ter Riley, 13, and a son, Arthur,18 months.

“They’re wonderful people atthe church,” Jill said. “As bad asthings are right now, we’re

blessed with good friends and family. Everyone’s has been sowonderful.”

Homschek Jr., 21, was ridinghis motorcycle on Suscon Road on Aug.11, 2012 in a benefitrideforhis aunt, who haslung cancer.

That ride changed his life for-ever. He lost control of his bikeand crashed into a pickup truck,causing him to lose his right leg

below the knee and suffering breaks in his other leg and botharms.

“We’re just glad he survived,”said his mother, Jessie.

The medical bills and travelexpenses are costly and Jessiewas unable to work while caringfor herson. Theroad to recoveryis arduous. Homschek had nu-

merous surgeries and fed him-self for the first time just lastweek. “He’s coming along,” Jes-sie said. “His spirit is great.That’s so important.”

“I fear that students and par-ents will now, more than ever tryto implicate us in their misplaced blame for their own inadequa-cies as parents.”

Pittston Area School DistrictSuperintendent Dr. MichaelGarzella issued a news releaselast week saying the board’s“number one priority is to pro-vide a superior education while protecting the safety, health and welfare of the student body,” and noted the union letter “does not

reflect the admin-istration or SchoolBoard’s views or directives.

“Any and all al-leged incidents of bullying; student-to-student, teach-er-to-student or student-to-teacher will be investigat-ed and responded to appropriately.”

In other busi-ness:

Pittston residentMichelle Kovach,

a parent of a for-mer Pittston stu-dent, toldthe board an emotional story

of how her daughter was bullied sobadly at PittstonArea, shehad to pull her out and enroll her in acyber school, and of a school ad-ministration that looked the oth-er way.

She said her daughter, Kailee,was student at Pittston Area for eight years.

“There was only one of thoseeight years that she was NOT bullied in some way by either a

teacher or a student,” Mrs. Ko-vach told the board.

When shebrought upthe issueto school officials, she was told,“girls will be girls, this is whenthe cattiness begins or give ittime and the situation will calmdown.”

But the situation didn’t calmdown, it escalated.

The Pittston Area SchoolBoard on Tuesday night hired anoutside lawyer to probe allega-tions of a district teacher belit-tling a student.

The unnamed teacher was for-mally reprimanded according tounion contract aftertelling a stu-dent, “It’s day13 andI can’t stand you already.”

Theexchangewas recorded ona student’s cellphone.

The board onTuesday unani-mously hired Attorney Mark C. Walsh at$150 an hour asindependentcounsel to in-vestigationwhether there issufficient evi-dence to pro-ceed with dis-missal proceed-ings.

If applicable,Walsh would present chargesand prosecutethem in front of the board at ahearing.

The board would then decidethe fate of the teacher.

District Solicitor Atty. JosephSaporitio said the board would act as “adjudicator” and urged board members not to investi-gate the charges on their own.

A letter from the teachers’union to teachers that spoke of parent “inadequacies” stirred a

separate controversy.Union Vice President RoccoD’Angelo sent a letter to unionmembers saying, “It is of utmostimportance to conduct ourselvesin a professional manner,” and warning “since weall getpainted with the same brush by the pub-lic let’s try giving them nothingnegative to paint with.

“In seventh grade, my daugh-ter was physically attacked byanother student,” Kovach said.“She was clotheselined into ametal door.”

Kailee sustained a head, back and neck injury.

Mrs.Kovach metwith a schoolofficial, but the official mishan-dled it, she said.

“He lied and tried to cover upthe incident,” she said.

The excuse Kovach received from the school was the other girl was playing “red rover.”

“Unfortunately for my daugh-ter,she had noidea she was play-ing that game,” Kovach said.

A teacher, Kovach said, was inthe room but“turned her back asto what was happening.”

Several students volunteered to relay what they saw, butschoolofficials declined to listen, Ko-

Pantryin WestPittston,a reliablesource of mealsfor more than 50familiesin any given month, is indesperate need of food dona-tions, said the group’s core offi-cer Major She-ryl Hershey.

After theWest PittstonHeadquartersrecoveredfromthe flooding of 2011, officials

have been busyrestockingfamilies’shelves.

Now the Ar-my’s ownshelves need restocking.

“Last week we came to thepoint where weonly had sixcans of food inour food pan-try,” Hersheysaid.

She called the Harry & Jea-nette Weinberg Food Bank, partof theCommissionon EconomicOpportunity, and received an or-der to help their patrons.

“But we have to restock our shelves,” Hershey said.

Local mail carriers conducted a can drive around Mother’s Dayand that food usually lasts untilChristmas, when the SalvationArmy generally gets an influx of donations.

But itran out offood early thisyear.

“With the amount of families

we’ve beenhelping, wef ind our-selves running short all the

time,” Hershey added.Hershey blames several fac-

tors on the increase of patrons,including the sour economictimes, lack of jobs and cutting of traditional “food stamps.”

An eligible family can receivea box of food, with canned good,dry food, some meats, includingground beef, ham and baloney,

once every 30days. But boxesof food general-ly only last twoweeks. Becausethe SalvationArmy is consid-ered an emer-

gency food bank, it can’tsupply a fullmonth’s worthof food.

Items needed include Ham-

burger Helper, boxes of pasta,macaroni and cheese, canned tuna, peanut

butter and jelly.Canned goods

such as vegetables, spaghettisauces and things for children

like canned mini ravioli or Spa-ghetti-o’s are always in high de-mand. Breakfast cereal is alwaysneeded.

“We never have enoughpeanut butter and jelly, Hershey said.“We normally always try to giveevery family a boxof cereal. “It’sone of the biggest things wehaven’t had in the past 4months,” she added

“Most rely on state assistance,food stamps, to make up the dif-ference,” Hershey said of people

who frequent the Army’s food bank.The food bank, at 214 Luzerne

in West Pittston, opens threedays a week, Monday, Wednes-day and Fridays.

To receive assistance, patronsmust provide proof of residency,

proof of income or lack of it, proof of bills and expenses and,if children are involved, identifi-cation such as a Social Security

card or a birth certificate.With Thanksgiving and

Christmas coming up, Hershey

is expecting to feed between300and 400 families.

West Pittston pantry inneed of dry good donations

By JOE [email protected]

To support the Salvation Army,drop off the donation at the foodbank at 214 Luzerne Ave., WestPittston. Or, if a church, communi-ty group, school group or businesshas a food drive, volunteers canpick up the donations. Also, Her-shey said, any cash donationwould go to the food pantry fund.

Question #1

Duryea Boroughofficials arranged towelcome “an individ-ual of historical im- portance” on hisscheduled Nov. 1, 1956visit. Who was he?

1956 – 56 Years Ago

Michael Chiampi, president of theGood Will Hose Company in West Pitt-ston, received an American flag fromMinnie Mange Janke, of West Pittston.The flag was presented to Janke at thefuneral of her husband John, an Armyveteran who served in France duringWorld War I.

Mrs. Janke’s nephew, James Skipper,was a member of the hose company.

A few interesting tidbits appeared inthe 1957 Ramblin’ Round Our TownColumn in the Sunday Dispatch as fol-lows:• Pittston public school children do

pretty well with milk. During the short

term of September, the school milk billtotaled $283.• Plans are underway to publish a

new Greater Pittston Directory by theR.L. Polk Co.

The last regional directory was pub-lished in 1948. If it goes through, thenew directory will be issued in March1957.• Just in case you think the present

drilling for gas or oil in Ransom is afirst of its kind, we noted in a story fromthe Pittston Comet, one of Pittston’s firstnewspapers, a story and advertisementfrom Poule and Co.

It advertised ‘expert drillers for coaland oil in Greater Pittston.’The story appeared in 1874.• Pittston City officials were elated

that a project to install new and paintexisting street signs had been complet-ed.

In a call to The Sunday Dispatch, an“upper Pittston” resident reported onesign had been missed.

The resident insisted that the sign be preserved though as it had a rather in-teresting story attached.

Many years before, John Ormsbyand other residents in that section donat-ed land along their properties to the city

in order to provide residents with a pub-lic passageway to North Main Street.When city officials placed a sign on thealley, it read “Barnum Alley.”

Taking offense, a young MaudeOrmsby, knowing the contribution her father had made, climbed the pole, re-moved the Barnum Alley sign and re- placed it with one on which she had written “Ormsby Alley.


Billed as the “game of the week inPennsylvania” and with a conferencetitle on the line, the contest betweencoach Bob Barbieri’s Pittston AreaPatriots and Peckville’s Blakely Bearsdrew a crowd of an estimated 5,000fans. Blakely, going for their 47th con-secutive Lackawanna Conference title,struggled throughout the game as thePatriot players, some of which included Stan Klocko, Ed Brennan and EddieBooth, maneuvered a 14-0 lead at theend of the first quarter. The Bears, how-ever, were determined and battled back,winning the game with a third-quarter

field goal. The crowd was believed to bethe largest to witness a game at AlbertWest Park since it had re-opened for scholastic play. It was estimated that thePatriots had played before at least25,000 fans in just four outings.

Jenkins Township Hose Company battled with township supervisors over astrip of land connected to the hose company property. Township officialsclaimed the strip of land, once listed as astreet in 1881 on coal company maps,was still a street and planned to use it asan access to an existing housing devel-opment. The hose company claimed theland was part of their purchase agree-

ment and was slated to be used for expansion of their facility.

Mrs. Al Sellock, Mrs. Jerome Hol-land, Mrs. Donald Kane, Mrs. Wil-bert Lawler and Mrs. Edward Holler-an, members of the United Mothers of America, were planning a “unique Fash-ion Cabaret by Candlelight” event. An-thony Angeli was scheduled to provide“cordovox melodies.”

Mrs. Patrick Cawley, Mrs. AngeloMontante, Mrs. Jerry Zezza, Mrs.Eugene Maria, Marie Galasso, MarieLombardo, Mrs. Merle Bainbridge,Mrs. George Menn, Mrs. DonaldMoss, Mrs. Joseph Sciandra, Mrs.Donald White, Mrs. John Hoover,Mrs. Ross Mantione and Mrs. JeromeKardos, members of the EducationDepartment of West Pittston Women’sClub, observed National Book Week.The women sponsored a storytellinghour at West Pittston Library for chil-dren in kindergarten through third grade.


In 1941, as a young man, BillMcCabe, of Pittston, was in one of thefirst convoys to leave the U.S. for Ha-waii after the Japanese attack on PearlHarbor. When he arrived, he recalled,“The ships were still burning.” An ac-complished cook, Bill served as a MessSergeant during his five years in theArmy, sometimes feeding as high as3,000 service members in various loca-

tions around the world.Upon his return to the States, heworked as a chef at the Mayfair Supper Club in Pittston. In 1976, Bill, who alsoworked as chef at Seton Catholic HighSchool, was honored by the school dur-ing National School Lunch Week. Serv-ing about 350 lunches a day, Billclaimed the students’ favorites werespaghetti, meatloaf, wimpies and bar- beque chicken, adding that, at 50 cents ameal, the lunches “were a real bargain.”Bill gave credit to the success of thelunch program to his two assistants,Mary Ann VanLuvender and CarolRemsky.

Nocera’s Jewelers in Exeter adver-tised a half carat diamond ring for $299,Radio City on Broad Street in Pittstonoffered a 19” 100% solid state color television for $388. The StaircaseLounge featured “The Poets plus Fran-kie and the Corvettes,” “Hot Pepper”and Disco Nite, Biscotti’s in West Pitt-ston offered spaghetti with meatballs for $1.50. A tray of pizza cost $2.85 atCharlie’s Pizza and Hoagie Shop,Klocko’s Happy Valley had “Jonathansinging your favorite tunes” and a bone-less stuffed chicken breast dinner could be enjoyed at the Starlight Lounge inFalls for $3.75.

The Pittston Post office willofficiallybe renamedin honor of fallen Pennsylvania State PoliceTrooper JoshuaD. Miller on Oct.24.

A ceremony is set for 10 a.m.and will include familymembers, friends, and colleagues of Miller, ac-cording to a news releasefrom the office of U.S.Rep. Lou Barletta. Bar-letta sponsored a bill toofficially dedicate thepostal facility at 11 Dock Street as the Trooper Joshua D. Miller Post OfficeBuilding.

The public is invited.

Miller, a 1992 Pittston AreaHigh School graduate, was shotand killed on June 7, 2009 alonga stretch of Route 611 near Toby-hanna.

He was shot by Daniel Auten-rieth, who kidnapped his own 9-year-old son during a custodyexchange at the boy’s home inNazareth, Pa., andled police on a40-mile high-speed pursuit toCoolbaugh Township. After thechase ended, Miller and Trooper Robert Lombardo, of Pittston,approached Autenrieth’s vehi-cle. Autenrieth refused to exit

the vehicle and, after the twotroopers used batons to break hisvehicle windows, opened fire onthem, striking Miller in the legand neck and Lombardo in theshoulder. The troopers returned

fire, striking Autenrieth eighttimes. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Lombardo recovered from hiswounds.

Miller, the Pittston Township

resident and Pittston city native,was 34 and left behind wife An-gela and three daughters Justine,

Joslyn and Breana.Barletta introduced a

bill to rename the postoffice last July. It wascosponsored by the en-tire Pennsylvania dele-gation to the House and it passedthat chamberin

November. The Senateapproved the bill by

unanimous consent. The billwassigned into law by PresidentObama on June 5.

The stretch of the roadwaywhere Miller was shot already

bears his name, thanks to legisla-tionapprovedby thestate Gener-al Assembly. It was designated the Trooper Joshua D. Miller Memorial Highway and then-Gov. Ed Rendell awarded him a

posthumous Medal of Honor.

Miller has also been honored with golf tournaments, softballtournaments and motorcycle

runs in his name to benefit hiswidow and daughters.

Also in attendance will be lo-

cal and stateofficials, and repre-sentatives of the U.S. Postal Ser-vice.

At first glance, the stories appearing to-day onpage3 andpage 9 will seem drasti-cally different.

One, on page 3, about the Care and Concern Food Pantry located in the for-mer Seton Catholic school in Pittston, isabout abundance and generosity. Sinceopeningfour yearsago, thepantryhas dis-tributed 35,000 bags of food to low-in-come families in the 15 towns throughoutthe Pittston and Wyoming areas.

It’s also a story of success, of sorts, if more people in need can be called suc-cess. When the pantry first opened, food

baskets were distributed to 25 families aweek. Today, they are distributed to 80families a week on a rotating basis.

Thestory on page 9 may seem an oppo-

site one.It’s about the food pantry at the Salva-tion Army Food Pantry in West Pittston,where Major Sheryl Hershey is sad to re-

port the cupboards are nearly bare.Hershey says the Salvation Army feeds

morethan 50 familiesin any given month.But need has been running aheadof dona-tions.

“Last week we came to the point wherewe only had six cans of food in our food

pantry,” Hershey said.She pointedoutthatneedis sogreat that

the local mail carriers canned food drive,staged around Mother’s Day and provid-ing food thatusually lasts until Christmas,

already has run out this year.“With the amount of families we’ve

been helping, we f ind ourselves runningshort all the time,” Hershey said.

Although the SalvationArmy is desper-ate for donations, their story too is aboutabundance and generosity. It is what hassustained them through the years. And Major Hershey is confident she will seean outpouring of both.

Thestoriesare also the same in this:theneed of struggling families is greater thanever.

Major Hershey points out that an eligible family can receive a box of food, withcanned goods, dry food, some meats, in-

cluding ground beef, ham and baloney,once every 30 days. But boxes of food generally only last two weeks. Becausethe Salvation Army is considered anemergency food bank, it can’t supply afull month’s worth of food.

We encourage everyone to do what theycan to help these two groups in their ef-forts to ensure than no one living around here goes hungry.

Needindeed

Isolationist! Now that’s a peaceful term and more and moreI’m drawn to it.In myhumble opinion, theworld haschangedtothe point where the United States needsto change or greatly ad-

just our role in the world. We can no longer afford to be theworld’s cop/peace keeper, we can no longer afford the position.

In recent yeas, I have given much thought to the possibility of

the UnitedStatesbecoming an Isolationist nation. We don’tneed the world and we can’t afford the role we have taken on. The

benefits of being an isolationist nation are huge and I just don’tsee the downside.

I think we should begin this process by bringing home everysingle member of the military. That means leaving Germany, Ja-

pan, Korea and every other country and absolutely the MiddleEast.The roleof our militarywould then beto stand guard onour

bordersallowing anyone to leave who wishes to but not allowinga single soul intothe country other thanthrough proper and legalways. This would end the drug problem as well as the undocu-mented folks who came here without legal permission.

This guard duty would allow us to maintain our Army and Marinesand of course thiswould give themample timefor train-ing. The Coast Guard would continue its life saving duties butwould be a strong part of our border patrol keeping our water

borders secure.Our Navy and Air Force would be used to keep us safe from

any outside danger. We need to enlarge our naval fleet and con-centrate on nuclear operating aircraft carriers and submarines.We have recently christened the first of our new nuclear sub-marines which are 400 ft long and carry the most technologicalsavvy crew in our nation’s history. With a fleet such as this, wewould be in a position to strike any nation that would dare try toharm us. The governments of other countries would be held re-sponsible if harboring groups that are intent on harming us and

we would strike back any time we are attacked.Can you imagine the financial impact if the total of our mil

itary payroll was spent within our borders? Talk about an economic explosion and the good type of economic explosion.

Nothingwould be imported from any country that causes a trad deficit. We would no longer pay farmers to not grow our foo

and we would then have food to export creating jobs and revenues. Foreign aid would be in the form of food and clothing.These poor nations cannot eat or wear the billions of dollars wgivethem. Oftentimes that foreign aidis used against us and wknow how often those same nation aid takers vote against us ithe UN. We have every natural resource we need and our steelmills would start up again and we would once again become aindustrial nation.Education would be mandatory in thatno chilwill leave school without knowing the three "R’s" as we used trefer to them.

Yes this is simplistic but life doesn’t have to be complicated.recall an old saying, "KISS"meaning Keep It Simple Stupid anI think we have long forgotten that simple cliche. If we did becomea trueIsolationistsnation, maybethe worldwould be betteoff. I know we certainly would be. No wars unless we are attacked in some form, nocheap imports to put us out of businesand a self reliance that would cause an surge of national prid and a real rush of employmentdue to jobs returning to our country. This might upset the Romney’s of our world because ther would also be a curtailment of off shore investments. You livhere, you invest here. The now meaningless term of "Job Creator’s" will become a reality and the money saved by bringinour military home would be used to keep us the strongest natioin the world.

OUR OPINION

YOUR OPINION

If legislators were serious about reducingcrime, drug abuse, school drop outs, welfare rollsand many other social ills there is one thing theycould do right now that would work.

It would take a generation, but it would work.

And it’s not just my opinion that it would work.It’s a fact backed up by studies and stastistics.The one thing? Stop subsidizing out-of-wed-

lock children.It is a fact, again backed up by studies and

stats, that the best way to stay out of poverty is todo these three things: finish high school (atleast), get married before having children and stay married if you have children.

Married families are vastly more affluent thansingle-parent families and much less likely to fallinto poverty.

Good bad ads

Sometimes when candidates say “bad” thingsabout each other in TV ads the bad things are

really good.Take for example Tom Smith versus BobCasey for U.S. Senate.

Smith’s ad calls Casey a do nothing senator,who “hasn’t passed any bills.”

Good.We have enough bills. Less in more. Govern-

ment doesn’t have to be the answer for everything that comes up.

And Casey’s ad said Tom Smith favors a taxcut which would lower his own taxes by$250,000.

So what?Does Casey really expect us to believe that

Washington would make better use of that moneythan Smith would?

Smith didn’t get rich squandering money likethe government does.

Smith’s $250,000 wouldn’t cover the cost of salaries and benefits for two of the 450,000 fed-eral government workers who are paid over $100,000. According to an investigation by USAToday, in the last five years, the number of feder-al employees making $150,000 or more per year has grown 10 times.

Poker face

It looks like the state legislatures plan to putmom and pop taverns and private clubs out of

usiness is working.How else could raiding corner bars and VFWs

and confiscating poker machines be character-ized?

If the state police wanted 400 gambling ma-chines why did they run all over two countiesrounding them up from bars and clubs that are

arely making a living, when they could havegotten them all in one easy raid at the MoheganSun Casino?

Oh wait, I know. Because casino gambling isall fun and games and nobody ever gets hurt and so it’s legal, while video poker machines in

VFWs are evil and ruining lives so they had to bestopped.

Do you think any of the legislators gave a sec-ond thought about the corner taverns and smallsocial clubs when they voted to legalize gaming

at casinos?Of course not. They just licked their chops atall the money they were going to get to spend and to hell with the little guy.

Where’s the fairness Democrats are alwayscrying about?

What did they think was going to happen,when casinos can undercut food prices and allowsmoking?

Governor Corbett, who was not governor whenthe gaming bill passed, did care.

He proposed a bill in 2009 that would haveallowed clubs to operate poker machines, but itnever came up for a vote, because casino oper-ators went bananas.

And who could blame them? Casino operators

paid $50 million for licenses and are paying 55 percent of the “revenue they generate” (that’sHarrisburg talk for money people lost), no won-der they don’t want competition from VFWs.

Random notes on the news

Any walk in the woods this time of year will surely be a site for aleast one type of wild mushroom growing. Pennsylvania’s climate is perfect for these fungi to thrive.

However, be aware!Mushrooms should be purchased from a reputable grower or gro-

cer instead of hunting them yourself, as there are many poisonousmushrooms.

Incorrectly indentifying a mushroom can lead to serious health problems or even death.

Pennsylvania leads the way with producing 501 million pounds(2010) of mushrooms each year. Penn State is instrumental to themushroom industry in helping improve productivity.

For more information, visit http://extension.psu.edu/mushroom-grower-info.

Today the Mushroom Council plays an important role in promot-ing mushrooms.Mushrooms are a great food to eat.They are super powerhouses of minerals - selenium, riboflavin,

niacin, potassium and pantothenic acid.Mushrooms are also fat free and low in calories.If you are a novice mushroom cook, here is how to clean and store

mushrooms.First, clean mushrooms only when you are ready to use them.Remove any bits of debris (mushroom compost) on the surface,

rinse with cold running water or gently wipe the mushrooms with adamp cloth, paper towel or soft brush.

To retain thecolor squeezea smallamount of lemon juiceonto themushrooms.

Store mushrooms for up to a week in the refrigerator.Keep mushrooms in the original packaging until ready to use.

Once opened, store mushrooms in a porous paper bag.This will give the mushrooms a longer shelf life.Here is an easy to make soup.Add a spinachsalad and a glass ofskimmilkto round out themeal.

Fresh Mushroom Soup

1 1/2 pounds fresh mushrooms8 scallions1/2 tsp thyme1/2 tsp black pepper 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard 1 quart fat-free, no added salt, chicken broth1 cup plain non-fat yogurt

Chop mushrooms and scallions into bite-sized pieces.

ROBERT

LASOTA of Dupont Attorney

John J. Terrana 400 Tird Avenue, Kingston

283.2990

I’ll Return Your Phone Calls

A surprising number of

people being represented byan attorney have reported

their disappointment over the

fact that their lawyer doesn’t

keep them informed of the

progress he or she is making

on their case.

I know how important a

client’s case is to them, so

I make it a point to return

all phone calls promptly.

The stress of undergoing a

personal injury claim is bad

enough; you shouldn’t have

to undergo the agony of

wondering when your lawyerwill get back to you.

I’ve been representing

injured clients in Luzerne

County for over 25 years. I’d

be happy to talk to you about

your case, and there’s never

a fee until you win.

vach said.“They heard a loud boom.

They saw my daughter on theground with the attacker stand-ing over her laughing. They said the attacker bragged to her friends.”

Then she called out the schooloard andschoolofficials to take

their “heads out of the sand.”“My question to the board is

when willthe policeson bullying be fully enforced?” she asked.“How many more children haveto be assaulted, harassed and at-tacked before someone in a posi-tion of authority says ‘enough’?

“Enforcing your own code of conductis theonly thing thatwill

begin to stop the nightmare.”Recent anti-bullying T-shirts

and posters do little, she said.“There is a problem and anti-

bullying T-shirts and posters willnot stop it,” she said. “Some of these children endure bullyingevery single day silently becausevery few members of the staff take it seriously.”

She said she felt guilty after two recent suicides at PittstonArea.If she made moreof a com-motion after her daughter’sstruggle, she saidshe might havein some way prevented future

bullying.“I am now prepared to take ev-

ery step to ensure no child willever be bullied in this districtagain to the point that suicide isthe only way out.”

Garzella said bullying will not be tolerated. “I want to make it perfectly clear.”

“Any child thatcomes forward and is willing to testify that theywere bullied, we will deal withit,” he said. “We will investigate.Charges will be filed. It’s not go-ing to be tolerated at PittstonAr-ea under my watch.”

Fitness Coordinator of the Pitt-ston YMCA, wantedto do some-thing unique for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“I didn’t want to raise money,ust make the women more

aware about breast cancer and have fun while doing it,” said

Butwin. “I wanted to pack theaerobicsroom,do some Piloxingand educate at the same time.”

About 50women and one veryexcited child crowded the YM-CA to Pilox, some wearing signson their backs in celebrationand/or in memory of those battling,surviving or have lost the battleto breast cancer.

Information lined the YMCA’slobby and aerobics room about

breast cancer, how to detect

breast cancer, treatments, ribbons and wrist bands for thewomen to take home with them.

“Fifty women are now moreeducated about breastcancerand that’s all I could ask for,” said Butwin.

To continue awareness at the

Greater Pittston will have “Paintthe YMCA Pink” week. FromOctober 22-26, members and non-members are encouraged towear pink when they come tovisit the YMCA. Non-memberswill be able to use the facility for free if they are wearing pink. In-

Casey Bohan is a serial killer.At Wyoming Area she killed

549. At Wilkes University onlynine killers in the nation havekilled more than Casey. In thebackyard of her parents’ home in

Harding they’ve lost count.Casey, 20, a 6-1 junior middle

hitter for the Wilkes Universitywomen’s volleyball team, isranked 10th in the country inkills per set and fourth in pointsper set.

Her sisters Mallory, a 5-6 ju-nior, and Gabby, a 5-8 senior, areright and left side hitters for theWyoming Area girls volleyballteam. “We make up a wholefrontrow,” Casey said.

The sisters grew up playingfamily volleyball games in their

backyard with their parents– Pa-trick Bohan who played basket-ball at Nanticoke and their moth-er Judy – and a large extended family that includes their cousinNick Romanowski, the founder of the WyomingArea ice hockeyclub, and cousins Lauren and Megan Wysocki, who is a fresh-man player at Wyoming Area.“We even got grandma to play,”Casey said.

When they were little the girlshad to sit and watch until theywere about eight before theywere allowed to play. “That’s

how it all started,” Mallory said.Mallory said the backyard

games are competitive. “It has tobe equal,” Mallory said. “If not,there’s a big fight about it.”

To make the games equal,Casey, who is a ringer in thebackyard, has to beon a team op-posite Mallory and Gabby.

“They’re vicious,” the girlsmotherJudy said of thebackyard games. “If you’re picked lastand feel bad about it, well, whocares?”

When Casey graduated fromWyoming Area in 2010 she left

as the volleyball program’s all-time kills leader with 549. Her sisters got to see most of thosehits. Mallory was on the first-year team and Gabby was afreshman.

Asked if theylookup to Caseyas a role model, they said theydid, though just a little reluctant-ly. “Yeah, I guess,” Mallory said.

“She’s good at volleyball and school and that shows you can

balance it out. We should try todo that, too, in high school.”

Casey is a pharmacy major.Gabby said, “Sometimes we

get a little jealous, but it makesus work harder.”

With three daughters playingon two different teams Judy seesa lotof volleyball. “FromAugustto November we have no life butvolleyball. We don’t even eat athome, but I liveforit. I don’t ever want to miss a game.”

Eight times this seasonWyoming Area and Wilkes had games on the same day. “Theminute the Wyoming Area gameis over we drive over to Wilkes tosee Caseyplay. It’s alwaysa closecall.”

Her husband goes with her when he is not working.

The sisters all agree that vol-leyball is an underrated and un-der appreciated sport, both atWyoming Area and in general.

“Our school is all about football,” Mallory said. “Some kidsthink volleyball is like a joke, butwe take it seriously.”

The sisters said most kidsdon’t grow up playing volleyballas they did and that’s the prob-lem. “There’s no real elementary

program,” Casey said. “Littlekids play baseball, basketballand soccer.”

The sisters were all basketball

players when they were younger.“I started basketball at the YM-CA in second grade,” Caseysaid. “I was definitely more of a

basketball player. I started vol-leyball at Wyoming Area in sev-enth grade and by my freshmanyear I was more of a volleyball

player.”Mallory and Gabby made a

similar evolution from basketball to volleyball. Mallory said it’s more exciting than basket-

ball. “You get more of a rush be-cause you have to get to 25 towin.”

Gabby had to choose betweensoccer and volleyball this seasonwhen the PIAA moved girls soc-cer from spring to fall. It was aneasy choice. “Volleyball is num-

ber one,” she said.Asked if they are likely to play

at thecollege level, Mallory, whois 5-6, said, “I’m probably nottall enough.”

Gabby said she wants to go toTemple and realizes she’s notgood enough to play at a Divi-

sion I school.That doesn’t mean they are

done with the game.

“The backyard will always bethere,” Gabby said.

Facing a 4th-and-9, with four minutes left in thef irst half Nick O’Brien and the Wyoming Areaoffense had the GAR defenseright where they wanted them.On the play O’Brien threw a 30-yard Td pass to a wide-openJor-dan Zezza to increase the War-riors lead to 29-7 in theireventu-

al 48-15 win over the Grenadierson Friday in West Pittston.

The Warriors had scored their first Td on a similar play, a 4th-and-8, on a 25-yard pass to anequally open Cody Schmitz. In

between thosepassé,O’Brien re-turned two punts for Tds of 38and 43 yards. The punt returnswere set upby WA punts by A.J.Lenkaitis thatpinnedGAR at the5 and 9-yards lines anda swarm-

ing WA defense that put up 3-and-outs both times.

On the first return, at 1:41 of the first quarter, O’Brien ranalong a wall down the WA side-line untouched. On the second return he made one tackler missatthe pointof thecatchthenwentdown the home sideline againalong a superb wall.

WA also picked up two-pointson a safety in the first half and a

fourth Td on a 7-yard run byO’Brien to make it 35-7 at thehalf. The Td was set up by a 36-yard run by O’Brien who got adownfield block from DylanPegg.

In the second half CodySchmitz capped a 67-yard 11-

play drive with a Td run of twoyards at 5:45 of the thirdquarter.Schmitz set up his Td making adiving catch of a pass from

Every opponent knows Ber-wick has an exceptional runningback in Matt Cashman.

Jeff Steeber went from a re-ceiving threat to a great changeof pace back, rushing for a sea-son-high 97 yards on11attempts

– including the game-winningtouchdown with 1:13 remaining– as the Bulldogs held off Pitt-

ston Area 23-20 in a WyomingValley Conference matchup Fri-day.

“It’s great. I’ll do anything tohelp the team,” Steeber said of taking more turns than usual inthe backfield. “Our line blocked great. That definitely was thedifference.”

Steeber had run for 177 yards

this season, taking an occasionalturn to give Cashman – a 1,000-yard rusher – a break.But Friday,Steeber found holes in the Patri-ots defense consistently.

The senior took a pitch to theleft to converta third-and-29 latein the first half. And he had 65yards already when the Bulldogs(7-1)got theball backaftera Pitt-ston Area punt at thePatriots’ 39with 4:06 remaining.

Steeber took an end around tothe right for 18 yards on the f irstsnap of the game-winning drivein the rain. On second-and-goal

from the 12, he took a pitcharound the right side for a touch-down to give Berwick a 23-20lead after Cashman’s second two-point run of the night.

“It got pretty rough,” Steeber said of running in the mud.“You’ve got to take small, chop-

py steps to keep from slipping.But hey, a win’s a win.”

“Jeff was amazing for us in thefourth quarter, running the ball,evading tackles,” Cashman said.

Cashman ran 29 times for 178yards and two touchdowns, asthe most effective offensiveweapon for Berwick. Two playsafter the Patriots (3-5) took a14-7 lead in the second quarter,he went over the left side into the

Pittston Area secondary.Cashman was sandwiched bytwo Patriots, each of whom

bounced off him in a different di-rection. He then outran the restofthe defense fora 52-yard scoreand a 15-14 Berwick lead.

“We’re mudders. We like to playin anything,” Cashman said.“Our team showed its heart and soul to fight for this game.”

Pittston Area’s Joe Starinskywas the Patriots’ do-all on thisnight. He had three touchdowncatches among his seven recep-tions for 177 yards. He was un-

touched on scores of 32 and 51yards in the first half asBulldogsslipped trying to grab him for atackle.

In the third quarter, quarterback James Emmett looked tohis right before throwing downthe left sideline for Starinsky ona 27-yardTD to give the Patriotsa 20-15 lead.

“He’s an awesome athlete,”Cashman said of Starinsky. “Iwouldn’t be surprised if he

goes to a pretty good collegenext season.”

He also had an interceptionthat he returned 28 yards and five tackles. His biggest stopcame on fourth-and-2 at the Pitt-ston Area 16, as he filled a holeand took down Cashman for nogain with 5:39 remaining to pro-tect the Patriots’ five-point lead.

Travis Potter had two of Ber-

wick’s three sacks and Tanner Weaver had three tackles for loss, including a sack.

Though the Patriots had 193yards passing to 50 for Berwick,the Patriots had a heck of a timerunning the ball. They had only26 yards rushing in 21 atenmpts.

Emmett complete seven pas-ses for 143. Gattuso completed two for 50.
