Ford found a $10-an-hour job as a forklift operator in Rockaway so he has picked up six paid mowing jobs to cover the cost of mowing the cemetery It costs $20 in gas to move equipment to Matamoras from his home in Sandyston Township someone hands him a few bucks to put gas in his mower but mostly he eats the cost and works for free 12 hours on Sunday and often four hours on Thursday or Friday It averages 30 hours on weeks that he mows Ford mows because he doesn't want to see the cemetery return to the state he found it in "I'm not sure how long I can keep doing it," Ford said The question of who is truly responsible for tending the cemetery is still a mystery Pine Grove Cemetery was founded by Mae Rose in 1856 In 1909 a small group of shareholders formed a nonprofit corporation on behalf of the cemetery but no bylaws were written and no directors were named to manage the affairs of the cemetery all shareholders of the corporation have died Floyd "Hank" McCombs lived in Matamoras next door to a member of the Rose family who in 1955 asked McCombs to tend the yard there grew up helping her dad dig graves and trim grass Funeral homes paid for grave sites to be dug 15 percent to perpetual care and the rest to a checking account for expenses The family never paid themselves for the labor A portion of the cemetery land was never used Copertino was approached by Millett Real Estate to sell 14 acres for $350,000 The sale was to be contingent on Millett receiving approval to build residential housing there Copertino did not have the authority to sell the land She asked a judge to appoint a custodian of the cemetery and authorize the custodian to appoint a board of directors to act with authority over the cemetery the board would be authorized to invest a portion of the money from the land sale and use the proceeds for perpetual care Another portion of the money would go to Copertino to compensate her for caring for the cemetery appointed Wayne Bank as custodian and ordered that a board of trustees be appointed within six months "The bank was appointed custodian of funds that never materialized," said Diane Wylan Copertino kept mowing and digging until 2009 when an attorney advised her that not only was the cemetery not her family's responsibility but they needed a real estate license to sell burial plots She did not want to get a real estate license Wayne Bank asked the court why it should be forced to continue as custodian of a nonprofit with no members The bank was unable to find anyone willing to take on the responsibility of being a trustee and faced a lack of support from the community Judge Kameen responded by giving Copertino 20 days to explain why the bank's request should not be granted a paper should have been filed on the bank's behalf to officially end the custodianship So who is responsible for perpetual care at the cemetery They'll give you an answer," Copertino said before abruptly hanging up the phone this week MILFORD — Things have been going especially well for the Delaware Valley girls soccer team Following their two-game bout with Wallenpaupack Area last week the Lady Warriors moved to 5-1-2 overall and rest in third place among the Lackawanna Soccer League teams in Division 1 They trail only Scranton Prep (7-1) and Paupack (7-2-1.) With just North Pocono (0-8) and Honesdale (3-3-2) ahead on the card DV is definitely on the way to a winning season Coronavirus complications forced DV to split up its contests with Valley View 19 they opened the season with a 5-2 victory but fell 0-1 to the Classics two days later at home They finally wrapped things up with the Cougars on Sep 26 with a 1-1 draw on the road Both of DelVal’s battles with Scranton yielded positive outcomes At Memorial Stadium in the Electric City on Sep 29 they delivered a 3-0 defeat to their hosts they got the month going with a 6-0 win when the Knights visited the banks of the Delaware River A bye week due to the absence of Abington from this year’s schedule gave the Warriors a few days to recoup and make ready for their cross-county rival “Prep away was probably our best game so far,” said Warriors Head Coach Jeff Rainear “It was a well-played game and I though we attacked well.” The Warriors managed to do something no other team has been able to do Sydney Bolles found the back of the net assisted by Meghan Byrnes DV held the lead until the seventh minute of the second half when Devon Kiesendahl got the equalizer for Paupack with help from Aliah Balch this time off a pass from Aracelia Denhalter for the golden goal Brianna Matteson saved 14-of-15 for DV while Makenna Peet prevented 7-of-9 for Paupack it was the visiting Buckhorns that logged the first point The 1-1 tally stood through 80 minutes and two overtimes resulting in a draw for both clubs The low shooting affair gave Matteson three saves while Peet blocked four and Meghan Byrnes provide the veteran experience while some underclassmen have emerged as offensive forces on the field “The seniors are great,” Coach Rainier said “I’m just really glad we were able to have a season and that they have been able to play “Not having a spring season this year was tough on all of our athletes and there was big concern that it would affect the fall sports too It’s a shorter season than we are used to but better than no season at all and things are going better than we had anticipated.” leads the Warriors with six goals and a pair of assists has shook the net four times and has two assists Junior Kaitlyn Tants has tallied a trio of goals and one assist while Bolles her classmate also has put three in the net has one goal and lent a hand on three more The Lady

lived next to a member of the Rose family who in 1955 asked him to tend the cemetery the family continued caring for the cemetery Copertino was approached by Millett Real Estate to sell 14 acres of unused cemetery land for $350,000 Copertino did not have the authority to sell it so she went to court and asked a judge to appoint a custodian of the cemetery and authorize the custodian to appoint a board of directors to act with authority over the cemetery The board would then invest a portion of the money from the land sale and use the proceeds for perpetual care appointed Wayne Bank as custodian of the money from the land sale and ordered that a board of trustees be appointed within six months when an attorney advised her that the cemetery was not her family's responsibility and they needed a real estate license to sell burial plots Wayne Bank tried to terminate its custodianship in 2010 so ownership of the cemetery was in question when Clark tried to buy it with the help of

All rights reserved. For 54 years, Landa Copertino and her family were caretakers of the Matamoras, Pa., cemetery, founded by Mae Rose in 1856. Copertino's father, Floyd "Hank" McCombs, lived next door to a member of the Rose family who, in 1955, asked if he would tend the yard there. He did, for free. After everyone in the Rose family had died, McCombs continued as caretaker. Landa Copertino grew up helping her dad, and later her sons helped their grandfather. So when McCombs died in 1996, Copertino, trying to get her father's affairs in order, contacted an attorney, who noted that, with the Rose family gone, no one really owned the cemetery. He petitioned the court to have Wayne Bank handle the accounts and become a trustee. The Copertinos modernized, buying a backhoe, $42,000 out of their own pocket, for faster digging. Funeral homes paid for grave sites to be dug. The money went into two accounts, 15 percent to perpetual care and the rest to a checking account for expenses. The family never paid themselves for the labor, Copertino said. That ended in 2009, when an attorney told them not only was the cemetery not their responsibility, but the family needed a real estate license to sell burial plots. Copertino did not want to get a real estate license, so she told the Milford law firm Ridley, Chuff, Kosierowski and Scanlon to let the trustee, Wayne Bank, handle Pine Grove Cemetery. Since then, tall, dense weeds have blanketed Pine Grove Cemetery. Ann Scudder of Port Jervis, N.Y., whose family members are buried there, pointed to metal bar framing the grave sites of local veterans. "We have a man who earned a Purple Heart over there, and you would never have known it." Last week, a recently unemployed factory worker, Allen Ford, 57, of Branchville, N.J., hoping to earn some money mowing, asked around, but could not find an owner or caretaker. "It hurt my heart to see a cemetery like that," Ford said, so he started mowing for free. It took five days to clean it up. "I'm mowing and looking at some of these names, thinking, I'll bet the angels in heaven are rejoicing right now," Ford said. He spent $60 on mower gas. Scudder, who was sweeping grass clippings off grave stones Monday, said, "The man is a saint in my eyes." Copertino says the condition of the cemetery since Wayne Bank took over "made me feel crappy ... . They have done nothing." A representative for Wayne Bank would not comment on the issue. Ridley, Chuff, Kosierowski and Scanlon have no client, but have taken on the issue for free out of concern for the community, David Chuff said. His firm is working with Wayne Bank, attempting to put together a board of trustees who will assure the cemetery is taken care of in perpetuity.

Cindy CrawfordSUPERMODEL Cindy Crawford shocked her fans when she confessed she doesn’t like seeing pictures of herself from the back. She said: “They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, ‘Oh my God, I have to be so brave’. See, every woman hates herself from behind.” If the 46-year-old beauty is unhappy with her bum, what chance does the average woman stand? But all is not lost – you can tone up your bum at the gym or just hide unflattering curves with the right clothing. Here we talk to two women who share Cindy’s hatred of their rear view – and get expert tips on how to help. MARCITA COPERTINO, 31 - Samba instructor, Glasgow Marcita CopertinoI’m really into fitness and I go to the gym three or four times a week. But no matter how much work I do, I still hate my bum – it’s like jelly. I think it looks really saggy in the photo from behind. In my job as a samba dancer my upper thighs and bum are exposed quite a bit. Maybe that’s why I feel so insecure about it. I hate my stretch marks, too, and even when I’m dancing I try to use my hands to cover that area. My friends say it’s all in my head and that there’s nothing wrong with my bottom but, for me, it will never be good enough. I’m not perfect but I’m happy with what I see from the front. I don’t have big breasts but I know that my small ones will stay pert for longer. I do a lot of work on my abs and my biceps and I’m really proud of them. I try to make my body the best it can be and my diet is very healthy. When I’m at the gym, I do loads of squats with kettle bells to try to firm up my bum and I use the abductor machine too. But no matter how much work I do on it, I know I’ll never be 100 per cent happy with my body. Jacqui EnnisI was dreading seeing these bikini photos, but when I saw the front-on photo, I was really surprised. I don’t like much about my body, and have a lot of insecurities, but it definitely looks better from the front. I don’t really exercise but I’ve lost a lot of weight recently and my body has changed. Things start to sag when you get older and I hate that my bottom is so flat. I think I look like a ruler – it’s just straight up and down. I’d love to be a little more curvy. I’m just going through a divorce and I’m starting to feel like the real me again. When I was married, my confidence was rock bottom. My husband would tell me I was ugly and would never give me compliments or take me to nice places. After years of feeling horrible about myself, I’m finally starting to take an interest in fashion and making an effort. I went on holiday with my family this summer, the first time I’ve been abroad in over 10 years, and I wore a bikini on the beach. But I’d always cover up with a towel so that nobody could see me from behind. Even if I’m wearing a nice dress with a low back, I have to wear a jacket or a cardigan because I hate the thought of how my back looks. When I look at my rear-view photo, I focus on all the bad bits – my flat bum, skinny legs and bony arms. There’s nothing I like about that photo. If I could change anything, I’d like to get rid of the gap between my thighs and get a more pert bottom. I’d like my arms to look less bony too.
