March 4-17, 2021

Members of the Crest-wood High School Class of 2021 may have missed out on many of the traditional senior activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but thanks to a project initiated by the mother of one of those students, they will know they haven’t been forgotten.

Jaimie Dennis Trusz-kowski, with the help of her daughter Molly, a member of the senior class, and several senior parents, organized the Crestwood Comets “Adopt a Senior” Class of 2021 project.

It didn’t take long for the project to become a success.

Adopt a Senior very successful venture

Molly Trusz-kowski helps her mom, Jai-mie find contact in-formation for Crest-wood se-niors.

Ryan Petrosky shows off gifts from his adopter Me-gan Kennedy.

Michelle Burbank adopted Nick Kreuzer and plans to spoil him dur-ing his senior year.

See Adopt, page 13

Kyle Johns has been adopted by Chrissy Hayes and family.

In less than a week, just about every member of the senior class was “adopted,” Trusz-kowski reported.

“We want to let our seniors

know they are loved, they are not forgotten, and we are pray-ing for you,” Truszkowski relat-ed. “These students have been together most of their lives. It has been tough for them to have their last year unexpect-edly taken away,” she added.

The Crestwood mom said through the effort, she hopes each of the 225 seniors will

realize just how special they are. “We encourage businesses, alumni, clubs, groups and fam-ilies to adopt (a senior),” she offered. She said she started the program early to allow par-ticipants to “spoil” their seniors throughout the year. “They will be yours to spoil from now until graduation. You can send them an Easter basket, a goodie

bag of their favorite snacks, an encouraging letter, prayers, gift cards, dorm supplies, a graduation gift, etc.,” she said on the group’s Facebook page. “This doesn’t have to cost a lot, but we’d like for you to put a lot of love and thought into your student,” she added.

Truszkowski emphasized

Crestwood senior Taylor Yeager is seen with Tracy McGeever and Joann Ready at Sopul Shine in Mountain Top. Soul Shine adopted Taylor for her senior year.

Places To Go ...

The Mountain Top Historical Society is hoping to preserve important memories of Moun-tain Top through a collabora-tion with the King’s College.

The society will be working with students from the col-lege’s Mass Communications department over the next few months to create a “Memories of Mountain Top” oral history.

Steve McGinnis, president of the historical society said

the project is something the group has discussed for several years. “We talked about doing it, but nobody really wanted to take it on,” McGinnis said. The project finally moved for-ward when his daughter, Mag-gie Rowlands, who works in the King’s College admissions department, suggested that a professor might be interested in having a class undertake it.

McGinnis contacted Dr. Scott Weiland, chairman of the col-lege’s Mass Communications

department last fall and after working out the details, the project is moving forward.

“We are looking for 15 peo-ple or so who are willing to share their memories of Moun-tain Top,” McGinnis said. The group had hoped to do in-per-son interviews, but because of Covid-19 concerns, it was decided to conduct them virtu-ally using the Zoom platform. “If someone doesn’t know how to use or doesn’t have access to Zoom, no worries we will work it out with them,” he noted.

Society members devel-oped several points they want to include in the interviews. McGinnis said the goal is to capture and preserve valuable memories of Mountain Top for future generations.

The interviewers will be

interested in finding out what brought the person or their family to Mountain Top; how long they’ve lived in the area; what they did for enjoyment as youngsters; their favorite memories of Mountain Top; and what they would like to see for the future of the area.

While the group is target-ing “old timers,” McGinnis emphasized that anyone will-ing to share their memories

of Mountain Top is welcome. “Age doesn’t matter. Whether you grew up here or recently moved in, we’d like to hear from anyone who is interested in sharing memories,” he relat-ed. Once the interviews are completed, they will be edited and saved on a DVD.

“If you think you, a neighbor, a relative, or past resident may be interested please contact me,” McGinnis stated. He can be reached by calling 570-474-6942. There also is informa-tion about the project on the Mountain Top Historical Soci-ety Facebook page.

I picked up my mail last Sat-urday brought it into the house and threw it on my table as usual. I noticed an envelope from The Luzerne County Tax Claim Bureau, c/o Elite Solu-tions, LLC. I did not think any-thing of it — I thought it was just one of the many tax bills we get this time of year.

Imagine my surprise, when I opened the envelope on Monday morning and found I had “unpaid real estate taxes due for Luzerne County” and “in accordance with the law, your property may be sched-ules for the next Upset Sale!” Upset Sale — had no idea what that was, but I knew it was not good! I found out Luzerne County conducts an Upset Sale

once a year for properties with real estate taxes delinquent for two or more years.

In checking, I remembered that I mailed the real estate tax payment early on the morning of September 26 at the outside drop box at the Mountain Top Post Office. The check cleared the credit union on October 13. That was odd, because usu-ally the tax checks always clear in a few days, but I did not think anything of it.

I immediately started to go back through my records. I had a copy of the tax bill and the check as originally writ-ten. Then I checked my credit union account online to find the cleared check. It was obvi-ous that the check had been altered. The original check was made out to the Fairview

Tax Collector. Her name was removed and another name added. The parcel number on the For line was replaced with a different number.

What to do and where to start. I was out newly $2,500

and Luzerne County now wanted nearly $2,800 (with accrued interest) to pay the taxes by the end of the month.

I started by calling Karen McGinnis, the Fairview Town-ship Tax Collector. She told me that around that time, there were several incidents of “fish-ing” at the drop box outside the Mountain Top Post Office. She suggested that I file a report with the Fairview Township police, which was going to be my next step.

A Fairview Township police-man took my information and confirmed that there were inci-dents of “fishing” at the post office and the investigations were ongoing.

Mail “fishing” is not a new scam, it has been around for decades. Thieves use a sticky substance and weighted string to “fish” for mail in outside mailboxes. It is usually done around the first of the month when larger bills are due and around tax time. When

they find what they want, the checks are then taken, altered and cashed. Victims have no idea their bill was not paid for weeks or months later.

Mail fraud is a federal offence punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison and fines, or both.

I was fortunate. After con-tacting the credit union and Elite Solutions and sending them the necessary documen-tation – a brief explanation, a copy of the tax bill, a copy of the check as originally written and the police case number, the credit union reimbursed me for the fraudulent check within 24 hours and Elite Solu-tions waived the accrued inter-est charges so I only paid the amount originally mailed in.

Lessons learned – keep good documentation; use online banking or go inside the post office to mail checks! The USPS is in the process of retro-fitting collection boxes to try and prevent crimes.

Do not use the outside mail drop box to mail checks. The USPS recommends using the drop off boxes inside the post office which are more secure.

Beware of “fishing” in the Mountain Top drop box in front of post office

COME TRY OUR LENTEN ITEMSGrant application inaction begins to affect townships

The inaction of the Com-monwealth Finance Author-ity on Local Share Account (gaming grant) applications submitted by area government leaders has begun to impact the finances of at least one municipality.

Late in 2019, Fairview Town-ship applied for $381,166.50 to pave the municipal build-ing parking lot and capital improvements for Park Lane North and Deerpath. It also asked for a $47,513.25 gaming grant for a new police SUV.

The Commonwealth Financ-ing Authority, which reviews and awards the gaming grants, has not met since early in 2019 and as a result, municipalities not only did not receive the grants, but don’t know when planning their 2021 budgets how much, if any of the money for which they applied, they will receive.

Needing a new police vehi-cle, Fairview Township super-visors voted this month to borrow $34,000 from First Keystone Bank to purchase a new Ford Explorer police vehicle. The SUV is expected to cost $48,000 and the town-ship budgeted $14,000 for the purchase in its 2021 budget.

The authority cancelled its January meeting and is now scheduled to meet March 23 at 10:30 a.m. via Zoom. It will be interesting to see if it acts on any of the municipal grant applications.

In other news ...Fairview Township supervi-

sors at their February meeting approved an increase in fees for zoning appeals. The cost for an appeal to the zoning hearing board for a variance was increased from $350 to $500. Fee for all other appeals, including a conditional use, was increased to $750. The fees were increased to bring them in line with the cost of advertising, court reporter, and legal fees connected with a zoning appeal. The board also voted to set zoning officer Carl Alber’s monthly salary at $750 with no additional fees.

They also appointed Patricia Iorio to a five-year term on the Mountain Top Joint Sanitary Authority. Secretary/Treasurer Abby Wasiakowski read a proc-lamation from the U.S. Cen-sus Bureau commending the township for its efforts to make the 2020 census a success.

Dorrance Township supervi-sors at their February meeting appointed Jeremy Rabe as fire police captain.

Supervisors to apply for grant to improve Elbe Road

Residents of North and South Sunset Roads in Wright Town-ship will be happy to learn the township plans to apply for a Dirt, Gravel, and Low Vol-ume Road grant to improve Elbe Road between North and South Sunset Roads. Supervi-sor Matt Howton, at the board’s last meeting said the town-ship plans to move forward on the grant application. The program is administered by the Luzerne County Conserva-tion District. While Elbe Road

exists on paper as a township right-of-way, there is no actual roadway. Residents of North and South Sunset Roads have asked supervisors repeatedly over the last few years to con-struct an actual road which would connect the two roads. They pointed out that delivery vehicles, snowplows, refuse haulers, and mail delivery vehicles currently need to turn around in private driveways after entering the streets from Route 309. Howton said he is

not sure if the township would be able to construct a paved road or one made of millings, which would be an improve-ment, he noted.

Lael Swank Memorial Scholarship created at Crestwood High

Crestwood Superintendent Robert Mehalick announced at last month’s board meet-ing the creation of the Lael Swank Memorial Scholarship.

The scholarship will go to a Crestwood senior who partici-pated in football in the district, maintained a minimum grade point average of 3.0, and will be attending a college, uni-versity, or other institution of higher education where they will play football for a non-division I team. The one-time,

non-renewable scholarship will be $2,500.

Hohn receives academic honors

Northeastern University is pleased to recognize those stu-dents who distinguish them-selves academically during the course of the school year.

Mountain Top resident Alli-son Hohn, a Northeastern Uni-versity student majoring in civil engineering/architectural studies, was recently named to the University’s dean’s list for the Fall semester, which ended in December 2020.

To achieve the dean’s list dis-tinction, students must carry a full program of at least four courses, have a quality point average of 3.5 or greater out of a possible 4.0 and carry no single grade lower than a C- during the course of their college career.


The goals of the Active Adult Centers are to help older adults in Luzerne-Wyoming Counties to remain healthy, active, independent and

contributing members of the community as long as possible. Active Adult Centers represent an important entry point into the Aging

network and into the continuum of long-term care. Active Adult Centers are often the first support service sought by an older individual,

his/her family or friends. By providing health and wellness services, the role of the Active Adult Center is to reverse or delay the need

for more intensive services.

Active Adult Centers serve as a place for socialization, hot, nutritional lunches, recreation, cultural arts, and health and wellness

programs for persons over the age of 60 and of all income levels to help them remain independent and contributing members of the

community. Centers are a source of information and referral to available services for older adults.

An MIT graduate who has worked as a saxophonist and music producer on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert;” a renowned chef, urban revi-talizer, and entrepreneur; and a groundbreaking war hero are the first recipients of the Crestwood School District’s Distinguished Alumni Award.

The district’s Board of Edu-cation at its February meeting approved the three winners nominated by a committee formed to identify worthy can-didates who graduated from either Fairview, White Haven, or Crestwood High School. Nominations were also sub-mitted by the public for con-sideration.

Selected as the inaugural award recipients were: Louis Fouché, Crestwood Class of 2003; James Harvey, Fairview

High School Class of 1942; and Marcie Turney, Crestwood Class of 1988.

Established this year, this award will be given annually to select and deserving individu-als who have made outstand-ing contributions to society. The award looks to recognize individuals with roots in the Crestwood community who have aspired to and met with excellence in various aspects of their professional and per-sonal lives. Equally important is that the program will raise the level of awareness and appreciation throughout the entire Crestwood school com-munity of the invaluable aca-demic possibilities offered by our local schools.

“I want to thank the district for its support in implement-ing this prestigious award,”

said committee chairper-son Tom Benz. “The caliber of the candidates nominat-ed was extraordinary.” Benz said there were several dozen nominations submitted to the committee.

Fouché graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2007 with degrees in physics and chemi-cal engineering. While an MIT student, he co-authored the

scholarly paper “Advanced Materials: Multicomponent Patterning of Layer-by-Layer Assembled Polyelectrolyte Nanoparticle Composite Thin Films with Controlled Align-ment” with department head and Professor Paula T. Ham-mond.

Fouché is a co-founder and former program coordinator for the MIT Online Science, Technology, and Engineer-

ing Community (MOSTEC). MOSTEC is a six-month blend-ed online science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) enrichment program for high school seniors from underrepresented and under-served backgrounds. MOSTEC, currently in its tenth year, is committed to diversity and equity in STEM fields.

the project isn’t about gifts or spending a lot of money on seniors. Rather, she said, it’s about providing, encourage-ment, love, and thought for the adopted student. “It’s about cheering them up, not a mone-tary thing,” she explained. She encourages adoptees to find out about student’s interests, hobbies, or what they plan to do after graduation.

To reach each of the students, Truszkowski relied on Google classroom and social media. Her daughter, Molly, reached out to her classmates through social media like Facebook to connect and make them aware of the project. Other parents helped find ways to connect with seniors, she noted. Trusz-kowski vetted the adoptees to make sure they were members of the community or business owners.

Even though most seniors have been adopted, Truszkows-ki said anyone who still wants to participate is welcome as seniors can have more than one “adoptee.” To participate, check out the Facebook page Crestwood Comets “Adopt a Senior” Class of 2021 to mes-sage Truszkowski.

Crestwood Senior Molly Truszkowski has been adopt-ed by Wheels Bar & Grill.

Since January 2017, Fouché has worked as a saxophonist and music producer on “The Late Show with Stephen Col-bert” for the house band Jon Batiste & Stay Human. He has performed as a saxophonist, arranger, and producer for 10-time Grammy winning art-ist Eddie Palmieri since 2010. He has performed in 27 coun-tries on six continents and has composed or performed music appearing on Grammy-nomi-nated (USA) and Edison Award-winning (Netherlands) albums.

Turney co-owns Safran Tur-ney Hospitality, made up of six restaurants and four retail operations. Along with her partner, Val Safran, Turney has been recognized for pioneer-ing the revitalization of a once desolate area of Center City Philadelphia into the vibrant and thriving Midtown Village. She is the Executive Chef for the groups six restaurants with three more on the way, includ-ing a restaurant in the iconic Love Park.

Acclaim for Chef Turney’s cooking entrepreneurship has been universal, including a 2014 semifinalist nod for ‘Out-standing Restaurateur’ by the James Beard Foundation. In 2013, The New York Times also profiled her work and success.

In 2019, Turney won the “Trailblazer Award,” given annually by Philadelphia Mag-azine to a woman in the Phila-delphia region who is consid-ered a pioneer in her field. She has proven to be a suc-cessful leader and has made considerable contributions to her respective peers and com-munity. A self-made success story, Turney is now known to be one of the top chefs in the city. She also is active in her support of Turning Points for Children, Women Against

Abuse and LGBTQ initiatives. Harvey graduated from Fair-

view High School in 1942 as class president and valedicto-rian. He went on to become a member of the Tuskegee Air-men, who were the nation’s first all African American group of military pilots.

He fought in WWII and the Korean War and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross along with multiple Air Med-als. In all, Lieutenant Colonel Harvey earned 11 Air Medals in his Air Force career due to his many engagements with adversary forces.

During the Korean War, Har-vey became the military’s first black jet fighter pilot to fly in Korean airspace. He flew 126 combat missions in Korea, providing support to ground troops. In 2006, the Tuskegee Airmen were awarded the Con-gressional Gold Medal.

After the Korean War, he served as a flight command-er, test pilot, assistant group operations officer, flight safety officer, and Battle Staff Train-ing Officer for the Command-ing General of NORAD. Harvey retired in 1965 after 22 years

of service. He resides in Den-ver, Colorado.

He spoke to the Crestwood students body in an assembly in May of 2019 sponsored by Mountain Top on The Move. Benz said when Lt. Col. Harvey was notified of his selection, he was thrilled. “He said the 97-year-old military veteran said he wanted to come back and see Mountain Top one more time.

Both Fouché and Turney, Benz said, were shocked to learn of their selection as nei-ther were aware the award had been established.

Interestingly, it turns out Fouché and Harvey are distant cousins who have never met.

Fouché revealed the relation-ship, previously unknown to him and the committee, on his Facebook page.

He said when he shared the news of the award with his father, his dad reminded him that Harvey is his distant cous-in on his grandmother’s side. “I’ve never met him, and I look forward to meeting him at the award ceremony this fall!” Fou-ché wrote.

An award ceremony will be

held this fall and will consist of an in-school assembly in the auditorium at Crestwood High School where each award recipient will be recognized and given an opportunity to address the current student body. There also will be a din-ner held in honor of the award recipients at a local restaurant the night before the assembly. A framed picture of each award recipient will be permanently displayed at the high school.

In addition to Benz, other committee members are Barry Boone, school board president, vice chairman; Kathleen (Ste-vie) Stortz, secretary; Attorney Angel Mae Webby-Zola; Attor-ney Casey Sauerwine; Ted Gef-fert; and Harry Zearfoss.

Benz expressed his appre-ciation to all members of the committee for their hard work and for the time they donated to research and review so many worthy nominees. “The accomplishments of this great district’s graduates should make the entire Crest-wood community proud,” he offered. “I look forward to this year’s ceremony, as well as cer-emonies in future years. The quantity of worthy graduates is

simply amazing,” Benz added.He pointed out that the

committee had a difficult time narrowing the list of nomi-nees to three award winners. “It was brutally difficult once we got to the short list,” Benz explained. “There were sev-eral other nominees on the list whose credentials were just as strong.” He noted that the committee used as its guide the principles of the award, recognizing the accomplish-ments of the individual, but just as importantly their ability to inspire the current student body during the ceremony this fall.

He said the committee also recognized the need for diver-sity by field of accomplish-ment, which it feels it met by selecting individuals from dif-ferent backgrounds.

In all, over 20 thousand graduates, dating back to the late 1800s are eligible for this award. All nominees who were not selected to receive the award in 2021 will be con-sidered again in future years. The public may submit addi-tional nominations at any time through the district website.
