Pittston Area National Honor Society students Justin Coyne and Michael Mazurkivich recently completed their National Honor Society project remembering fallen officer Richard Janczewski, an Avoca patrolman who died in the line of duty on May 26, 1986. The students collected donations and presented a certificate to Avoca Police Chief David Homschek for the department’s use in purchasing safety equipment in memory of Officer Janczewski, whose memorial monument will be rededicated at the new Avoca Borough Building.
