My girl
Tomorrow, June 6, may be
D-Day to most of the world, the
anniversary of the Normandy
Invasion in 1944, but to me, it’s
G-Day, the day my daughter
Greta was born.
She arrived on June 6, 1983,
and my life has not been the
same since.
In my column that week, I
wrote, “Now I know how much
my parents must love me.” A
few weeks later a fellow sent
me a letter saying my words
came to mind when his own
first child was born.
I was nearly 34 when Greta
came along and I recall saying
more than once, “I’m too old
for this parent stuff.” On the
other hand, I often thought,
“How do 20 year olds do this?”
While Greta tapped into a
love I’d never before known,
she also pushed buttons on me I
never knew I had. How strained
green beans could go from
being her favorite food one day
to being spit in my face the next
I will never understand.
We had a standoff in McDo-
nald’s when she was about three
that rivaled the Cuban Missile
Crisis. She would not eat a
single bite of her food and I
would not allow her on the
playground until she did. I’m
surprised we’re not still sitting
there.
Who finally won?
Guess.
I will never forget the look in
her eyes the first time she real-
ized she could control me. She
might have been a year and a
half at the time. I saw her put
something in her mouth that I
feared might be an earring she
found on the floor. Without
hesitation, I stuck my finger in
there to retrieve it, and she
clamped down with all her
might, her brand new teeth
holding me like a vice grip.
I tried to stay calm and cajole
her into releasing me, but the
more I did, the harder she bit. I
knew she could sense pain in
my eyes and I also knew this
was going to be a defining
moment in our relationship.
She finally opened up, but she
took her good natured time.
It case you are wondering …
it was a Cheerio.
Greta, the toddler, and I spent
a lot of time together. I was off
on Wednesdays and it became
our day. We’d go for walks –
even on the coldest winter days,
build elaborate cities out of
blocks, act out Disney movies
with her in the lead role and all
of her stuffed animals as the
supporting cast, and read books
– often the same one over and
over.
Beauty and the Beast was
one of her favorites. I drew a
picture of the Beast and hung it
on the refrigerator door. She’d
often stand there carrying on a
conversation with that picture
while I sat on the floor, my
back against the fridge, doing
my best Beast voice. “Hi,
Beast,” she’d say. “Hi, Greta,”
I’d answer in a semi growl. And
we’d go from there.
The Beast, I soon discovered,
could get through to her better
than I.
“Remember to brush your
teeth,” he’d say and that night
she’d enthusiastically brush her
teeth.
“I wish I could freeze her,”
I’d think, you know, keep the
two year old around forever.
Those were the times when her
only goal in life was to grow up
and marry me.
But freeze her? Hardly. Each
birthday seemed to roll around
faster and faster.
Greta was 12, Michael 9
when their mom and I split up
and the three of them moved
about 150 miles away. This
presented a new challenge: how
to be the Dad I wanted to be,
and the Dad they deserved,
from afar.
Cell phones were rare in
1995. I bought one and called
them every night in the week.
My monthly bills were astrono-
mical but well worth it.
To my surprise our relation-
ship actually deepened. Not
there every day to harp about
doing homework or cleaning
your room, I became what I
called the “confidant parent.”
Greta and Michael started
telling me their secrets, often
beginning with, “Dad, don’t tell
Mom but …”
Greta and I had some heavy
conversations in those years,
mostly over coffee since, at 13,
she was now all grown up.
She was 15 when I said, “You
know, Greta, you and I are in
the same boat. You’re thinking
about dating for the first time in
your life and I’m trying to fig-
ure out how to go on a date for
the first time in 24 years. Are
you as scared as I am?”
Greta will celebrate her 28th
birthday tomorrow in her new
residence in Austin, Texas.
She’s moving there this week-
end from Boulder, Colorado.
She has a new job waiting in
Austin and a beau she’s mighty
sweet on. I’ve always told her
there are two rules for a guy to
win her hand: he has to love her
as much as I do and he has to
take just as good care of her as
I do. Over 28 years, I’ve set that
bar pretty high. This Texas guy
has his work cut out for him.

Wayne’s World – it’s not worthy

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011

Century old building on Main Street recommended for demolition
By Jack Smiles
Associate Editor

A
world of trouble lies be-
neath the façade of the
former Wayne’s World
building on South Main Street.
Contractors doing emergency
stabilization work tore off the
crumbling façade of the former
music store last week. Taking the
front off gave inspectors a look at
parts of the building which were
not exposed before. By the end
of the week, after a structural in-
spection, the city engineering
firm, Reilly and Associates, rec-
ommended the building be de-
molished.
Firm president Tom Reilly
said the ease with which the fa-
çade came off portended a struc-
tural deficiency. “They found
that some of the bricks came off
by hand the mortar was so soft,”
he said.
Reilly explained that the top
floor brick wasn’t stable. “The
upper brick sat on steel beam

Tearful good-bye for St. Mary’s Assumption School
Elementary school founded in 1868 will close on June 15

O

wraps up the 2010-2011
school year, the city of Pittston
will be without a Catholic school
for the first time since the
mid-1800s.
School officials, students,
their parents and school support-
ers gathered Thursday night for a
celebratory Mass and open
house at the St. Mary’s Assump-
tion Church and school on
Church Street. The school is
closing as part of a reorganiza-

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011

Pastor Bob Mitchell to perform in concert next Sunday
Members of Saint Peter’s
Lutheran Church in Hughestown
know of Pastor Bob Mitchell as
their spiritual leader – who deliv-
ers inspiring sermons, oversees
the work of the church’s commit-
tees, ministers to the elderly and
hospitalized, leads worship ser-
vices, and strives to create an at-
mosphere of shalom within the
church and community. What
members may not fully know
about Pastor Bob is his extensive
background in the field of mu-
sic.
Pastor Bob, who has served
Saint Peter’s since November of
2009, has occasionally sung so-
los at church services. However,
these have only been small
glimpses of his noteworthy tal-
ent.
On Sunday, June 12 at 4 p.m.,
Pastor Bob will present a per-
formance which will feature him
singing a variety of secular and
sacred works – including Ger-
man and Italian art songs, show
tunes, and gospel songs.
Pastor Bob has chosen the
name “Musical Primavera” for
the performance. “Primavera”
means “Spring” in Italian, and
the program will be held during
the last full week of spring.
The spring season will be the
theme of several of his selections
– Frulingsglaube (The Hope of
Spring) by Franz Schubert, as
well as the first three selections
in Robert Schumann’s song cy-
cle Dichterliebe and the song
Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’
from the musical Oklahoma.
Because the program will be
held on Pentecost Sunday, the
Holy Spirit will be the theme of
other songs on the program.
Pastor Bob will be accompa-
nied on piano and organ by Saint
Peter’s music director, Michael
Sowa.
Long before Pastor Bob was
ordained, he sang some 40 opera
roles in a 30-year career. He ap-
peared in15 productions with the
Amato Opera Company alone,
and in numerous productions
with 14 other “minor league” op-
era companies in the NY-NJ-CT
metropolitan area.
Pastor Bob is the author of Op-
era Inside Out, published by Xli-
bris and is in the process of writ-
ing a memoir about his singing
experiences. In addition to his
opera career, he has sung exten-
sively in concert, churches, syn-
agogues, radio, and has a number
of YouTube selections on the in-
ternet.
Pastor Bob holds a B.S. degree
in Voice and Opera from Mannes
College of Music in New York
City, as well as a Master of Di-
vinity degree from New Brun-
swick (NJ) Theological Semina-
Management at Scholastic, Inc.
the New York-based educational
publisher. He resides in Bushkill
with his wife, Joan.
What will also make this pro-
gram special is the instrument
which will be used to accompany
Pastor Bob for many of his selec-
tions. Saint Peter’s has a piano
which dates back to the 1920s. It
was restored in the winter of
2010 through a generous contri-
bution by Clara Schmaltz, a
member of Saint Peter’s.
The piano was relocated from
the choir room to the church
sanctuary. The piano has also
been used for Sunday School
events and for special concerts
and services held at the church.

OUR OPINION YO U R S PAC E

Scouts shine at Spring Camporee

Let’s light
up the sky
Fireworks displays bring people and
communities together. That is evidenced
here every Fourth of July when the joint
Pittston-West Pittston displays lights up
the sky over the Susquehanna River.
The crowds that gather on the river-
banks and Water Street Bridge and the
fireworks they watch rival those of larger
cities.
This should be a point of pride for our
small municipalities.
But a thrilling and powerful fireworks
display costs money. A 30 minute show
can run $20,000 or more. Neither the city
nor the borough can budget that kind of
money for fireworks. That’s why they de-
pend on your and your generosity.
Let’s make this a true communities-
wide event. While the display is paid for
out of the Pittston-West Pittston Commu-
nity Fund, folks from all the local towns
are urged to make contributions.
It’s been said that if everyone of us who
watches the display were to kick in a buck Boy Scout Troop 316 of Avoca attended the Spring Camporee and won second place in overall competition. Seen here with their
or two the fund would have enough for a trophy are John Smith, Tyler Sepcoski, Joshua Sepcoski, and Aiden McGowan. Missing from photo are Robert Phillips and Mike

pro sports team
Wilkes-Barre is getting a professional
indoor lacrosse team. So far the team does
not have a nickname. We suggest the
Whitetails?
What could be more symbolic of our ar-
ea than the majestic and athletic Whitetail
Deer which can sprint up to 30 miles an
hour and leap 30 feet in a single bound.
After all we live in an area where the
first day of deer hunting season is a school
holiday.
And after all the Whitetail is the official
mammal of Pennsylvania.
Believe it or not the population density
of Whitetails here in the valley is estimat-
ed to be 15 to 20 per square mile and up to
50 in the Poconos.
It is nearly impossible to quantify the
number of Whitetails statewide, but PA is
always in the top three in license sales
with Texas and Michigan.
So come on, name that team the White-

YOUR OPINION
Election day has now past and we have elected those people
who the general public feels can best represent us in our cities,
counties and school districts. Of course, some races are still left
until November, but for some positions, the elected officials are
decided.
Unfortunately, I have not been so lucky as to have been chosen,
but as the saying goes “you live and learn.”
I would not have missed this opportunity, even with the out-
come. The people I met along the way were worth the adventure.
Historians seeks photos of past local leaders
We are writing a book on the Pittston/Wyoming Valley area’s
anthracite mining industry during 1903-1928. In order to help
tell the story, we are looking for photographs of the following
persons:
State Representative James Musto, Pittston mayors Ambrose
Langan, W.H. Gillespie, and P.R. Brown; mining subcontractors
Steven LaTorre and Charles Consagra; and Pennsylvania Coal
Company president Michael Gallagher, vice-president A.K.
Morris, and superintendent Benjamin Milton.
We are also need photos of the following labor leaders: John
Boylan, Enoch Williams, Frank McGarry, Frank Cardoni, Tho-
I would like to thank those people who believed I could under-
take the job.
Thank you to those who supported me, helped me and voted
for me. Thank you to the people who put signs in their yards,
showing their support.
The only request I have now, is that in November, please go to
vote. Please think carefully about your choices and take those ten
minutes or so out of your day.
Kim Marie Alfano
Samuel Grecio, Stanley Dziengelswski, James Lamarca, Wil-
liam J. Brennan, Steven Mendola, Adam Moleski, Sam Bonita,
James Kearney, and Peter Reilly (Saudargis).
Finally, we are seeing photos of the following mineworkers:
Samuel Alfili, Dominick Aielo, Frank Falduto.
If you have any photographs of these persons would be very
grateful if you would call us at 715 252 6742. We would be happy
to talk to you about the photos and the book.
Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

If I die before I wake
Wouldn’t you love to be the proverbial fly on the
wall at the Heck Sanitarium just to confirm that
what I write is fact?
It’s mayhem and when I refer to it as “The Fun
House,” I mean it in the crazy way, not the ha-ha
way.
But what’s struck me lately about my home is
just how much I’m treated as a bloodhound.
This family is simply incapable of looking for
and finding anything that may not be directly right
in front of their befuddled faces.
For example, today alone, the following snippets
transpired from several needy conversations rotat-
ing around my home, all
directed at me, of
course: “Where’s the ham? Where’s the
“Where’s the ham?
Where’s the potato sal-

now. Oh. The ham isn’t now. Oh. The ham isn’t sliced?

I remind him that he’s

old enough to cut up his
own meat now, and pos-
sibly, to even feed it to
himself.
This particular conversation occurred between
me and, not a child, but a husband-child. He always
seems to be struck dumb when he asks the ques-
tion: “What’s to eat?” and I say: “Look in the refrig-
erator and figure it out.”
I may as well be directing him to land a helicop-
ter in the playground across the street.
Not to be outdone in the War on Where-is-It, my
real children begin:
“Mom! MOM! Where are the pinking shears?”
I frown. “The what? Why … oh never mind. I
truly don’t want to know. Top drawer, dining room,
under the map, left side – next to the tape.”
“Mom! Where’s the receipt for the ugly purse the
Easter Bunny left me? It’s not that I hate it, but it’s
just so … so PINK.”
I don’t even blink. “Middle drawer, under the ad-
dress book but over the pencils, in the kitchen, by
the microwave.”
My bewildered middle child: “Mom! Where are
my glasses?”
This has registered pretty high on my incredu-
lous meter. “Have you looked on your face, Ein-
stein?”
“MOM! MOM! Where are the…?”
“Oh, for crying out loud! On the porch, in the
back. By the recycling! And, food for thought peo-
ple: If I drop dead tomorrow, this family will go to
hell in hand basket.”
Maria Jiunta Heck
My husband, finally paying attention, perked
right up: “No, we won’t. I know what I’d do if you
died tomorrow … we’d all move to Vegas, baby.”
He seemed really inappropriately energized at
the thought, going so far as to rub his hands togeth-
er excitedly.
I turn, hands on hips, ready for battle. “For God’s
sake, man, haven’t you watched CSI lately? Vegas
is a cesspool! You aren’t moving my kids to Vegas!
Over my dead … oh …”
I go overboard on my dissertation of the perils of
Vegas, temporarily forgetting that he has obviously
given this some real thought, that is, what protocol
will be followed imme-
diately following my
death.
Ouch.
“Well, anyway,” I con-
tinue, “you could never
move anywhere if I were
dead. For one thing, you
have absolutely no idea
where the suitcases are
stored, not to mention
how to move anything
from one place to the
next, except your stupid
golf clubs, which remain
in your trunk, year-
round. You can barely
find your underwear in
the morning, let alone
locating everything you need to pack and move a
family. When we moved here, who do you think
packed every item in bubble wrap, including your
stupid Raiders football helmet chip and dip bowl,
and then unpacked every single solitary item once
we arrived, huh?”
“Ummm,” said my son, trying to win this game,
“the UPS man, right? And also, have you seen my
hall pass? If I lose it, I have to pay for a new one.”
I snap: “Well son, it’s in the lint trap right about
now, so pony-up the cashola.”
My daughter piped in: “Listen. Maria. I’d be sad
if you died, but if you did, I know what I’d do. Get a
tattoo. Not a trashy tattoo, a really nice one. Right
here.”
She showed me where and I fainted.
They thought I really did die, as if by merely
wishing it would make it true.
I’m going to bed.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep

CORNER

ChooseMyPlate
This past week USDA announced the 2010 Dietary Guideline
graphic which is designed to help consumers visual the recommen-
dations found in the new UDSA Dietary Guidelines. ChooseMyPlate
is an illustration designed to remind Americans to help make better
food choices, and according to USDA, not necessarily as the only
method to change consumer behavior alone. This illustration shows
how to incorporate the five food groups; dairy, fruits, grains, vegeta-
bles and protein into everyday meals.
Some of you may recognize that the new food pyramid (which was
a pyramid that tipped over the colored bands) illustrated someone
climbing stairs in addition to being a pyramid full of vertical running
colored food bands. Each band represented a food group. There were
six different colored bands. People were to eat less of the yellow thin
band representing oils and to eat more of the wider orange band
which represented grains.
Looking differently, USDA now uses the image of a plate, a 9 inch
plate is recommended, and shows how to place foods on the plate.
The larger section is now vegetables, which is slightly different from
the wider orange grain band in the past two illustrations.
Three items not represented in the new ChooseMyPlate illustration
which were in past illustrations are a character walking up the stairs,
foods which contained amounts of sugar and higher fat foods. A past
USDA illustration, the black pyramid, had circles and triangles at the
top of the pyramid illustrating foods that contained fats and oils.
Those foods were to be eaten in small amounts as they were at the top
of the pyramid. Walking or other physical activity is still a recom-
mendation of the new Dietary Guidelines, just isn’t a part of the
graphic.
As you get ready to set the table this evening for your family meal,
take a look at the graphic and visually place the foods on the plate.
Are there vegetables for dinner this evening? Do you plan to serve
fruit with the meal? Lastly but not least, is there a glass of skim or low
fat milk next to the plate? Visit ChooseMyPlate.gov for more infor-
mation. Here is a recipe to make the night before and allow the nat-
ural juices to soften the bread. It can be quickly micro waved in the
am. Add 6oz of nonfat yogurt to meet three of the five food groups;
dairy, fruit and grains. More to come!
Berry Bread Pudding
1 and 1/2 cups unsweetened, frozen berries, thawed, undrained Or
choose fresh strawberries
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract (optional)
4 or 5 slices whole wheat bread, crusts removed
Low fat Vanilla yogurt (optional)
In a small bowl, combine the thawed berries, sugar and/or vanilla
extract. Spoon 1/4 cup of the berry mixture to cover the bottom of a 2
cup deep dish. Cover the berry mixture with a layer of bread. Spoon
remaining berry mixture on top of the bread. Cover with another lay-
er of bread. Repeat steps 4 and 5 twice ending with a layer of bread.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place a plate or bowl on top of
the berry dish that fits just inside of it. Place a heavy object on top to
press down on the fruit and bread layers. Refrigerate overnight.
(Check the dish to be sure juice does not run over the top. You may
need to replace the heavy object with a lighter one to prevent spills).
Serve with a dollop of low fat vanilla yogurt. Yields 2- 1cup servings

American Legion honors Veterans at Miceli Park
National Anthem, bell ringing parts of Memorial Day weekend ceremony
By Alexandria Antonacci
Dispatch Correspondent

The late Sam Miceli, a decorated veteran of D-Day in WWII, was a

tireless advocate for veterans. On Saturday, May 28 a ceremony at the
park that bears Miceli’s name was held by the Pittston American Le-
gion Post to honor and remember those American soldiers who
served and died in wars.
Some of the speakers at the event were American Legion Chaplin
Joe Savokinas, Judge Fred Pierontoni, State Rep. Mike Carroll, Rev.
Paul McDonald, OSJ, and the city’s mayor Jason Klush.
Councilman Danny Argo, arriving in a 1938 Buick, opened the
ceremony with the National Anthem.
George Parrick rang the bell in remembrance of each of the wars.
Fred Pierantoni expressed some of his thoughts of remembrance.

Karina’s retreat: a touch of class in Hughestown
New bar/restaurant opens last week on Parsonage Street
By Jack Smiles
Karina Singer is bringing a
touch of class to Hughestown.
The French-born Singer, 44, is a
25-year veteran bar and restau-
rant worker from Clarks Sum-
mit.
Now she is capitalizing on that
experience as partner and man-
ager of Karina’s Retreat at 295
Parsonage Street. There was a li-
quor license at that address as
long as 100 years ago. After pro-
hibition it was owned by Deno
Chiavacci and it was known as
Deno’s until the early 1980s.
Most recently it was Gabriella’s,
which closed last August.
Karina, backed by her finance
John Barborek of Duryea, took
over last December and they
spent six months transforming
the place. They had a soft open-
ing last weekend, with a grand
opening planned for the near fu-
ture.
They tore up rugs and installed
Prego hardwood-look-alike,
laminate flooring. They gutted
walls, reconfigured the bar and
floor plan, added a look of wain-
scoting, installed track lighting,
modernized the kitchen, evened
the floor, painted and cleaned.
Judson Spencer painted the out-
side.
Karina, who is also an artist,
added her own unique touch to
SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011
the bar decor by painting music
and mixed-drink themed-scenes
with French sayings on the four
high-top tables.
Karina said she is still devel-
oping a menu which will include
her own recipes, and negotiating
to hire a chef. In the meantime
bar food – pizza, wings, Buffalo
bites and burgers – are served.
The bar has eight taps, four of
which will rotate imports and
micros, and an extensive variety
of imported bottled beer.
But, as the gleaming interior
and white tablecloths suggest,
Karina’s Retreat is not just an-
other beer, pizza and wing joint.
Far from it. Karina said the menu
has a martini and wine list and
will eventually include lasagna,
chicken scampi, pot roast and
surf ‘n’ turf just to name a few
items.
Karina, who is also a baker,
said signature deserts are part of
her plan down the road.
The bar area can seat 30, the
dining area 45. The outside pat-
io-deck can accommodate an-
other 20 to 30 patrons.
By the way, the patio-deck can
use a name. If you stop in Kari-
na’s make your suggestion at the
bar. If your patio name is chosen
you’ll win a case of beer.
Karina’s is open seven days at
week at 3 p.m. Happy Hour is 4
to 6.

UNFOURGETTABLE
Blue Devils win surprising fourth straight D2 Class 1A title
By Rick Notari
Dispatch Staff

A season to forget turned into one to

remember as the Old Forge softball
team captured its fourth consecutive
District 2 Class 1A championship with
a 7-3, eight-inning victory over Blue
Ridge at Mid Valley High School on
Wednesday in Throop.
Coming off of a four-win regular-
season, the outlook wasn’t good for the
Blue Devils as they entered the district
tournament as the fifth-seed out of six
teams. But after two wins on the road to
open the postseason – including a
semifinal victory against top-seeded
Northwest – Coach Pat Revello’s nine
was all set for a sixth consecutive
showdown with the Lady Red Raiders
in the title game.
“This team worked just as hard as any
team in the past 12 years and they really
deserve this,” said Revello after his
222nd career victory. “Just walking
around with a target on your back all
the time like we do may have got to
them at times during the season. But
the competition that we play in our di-
vision gets us ready for the postseason
and games like this.”
A game like this was nothing more
than your typical, gut-wrenching

tans. And for seven innings it looked as
if whichever team took advantage of a
mistake would be the team that wore
the crown.
Blue Ridge had its first opportunity
in its first at-bat when Gabby Wolfe re-
ached on an error and moved to second
on another error off the bat of Jackie
Furch. After Nicole Marianelli induced
a weak grounder back to the circle,
Courtney Ucci reached on a fielder’s
choice to load the bases.
But Marianelli settled in and got a
short fly ball out to Taylor Nemetz in
right before striking out the final batter
of the first inning to get out of the jam.
Old Forge (7-10) got on the board in
the top of the third when Marianelli
doubled over the right fielder’s head
with one out, driving in Nemetz who
had led off with a bunt single before
moving to second when Lauren Carey
drew a walk. The Blue Devils would

leave Carey and Marianelli stranded,
but led 1-0.
Marianelli kept the lead into the fifth
after retiring six straight after a leadoff
double by Wolfe in the bottom of the
third. But in the fifth, Blue Ridge took
advantage of an error and a bloop dou-
ble by Wolfe to even the score at 1-1.
Marianelli allowed just two hits over
the first seven innings and did not walk
a batter while striking out three. The
senior has earned all three playoff vic-
tories for the Blue Devils after taking
over in the circle late in the season.
“I think the big change was Nicole’s
senior leadership,” said Andi Alsalahat
of Marianelli’s move to the mound and
the Blue Devils instant success. “Ni-
cole was more vocal when she became
the pitcher and it seemed to relax us
more.
“She had been here before in the big
games, and it made a difference. Our
bats are coming alive. We are playing
better in the field. Everything is start-
ing to come together.”
The Blue Devils went three-up-three
down in the sixth and seventh, but so
did the Lady Red Raiders as senior
Lindsay Regan continued her flawless
play at third base with three assists on
six of the outs. Regan was also part of a
late-season change which saw her
move from short back to third where
she excelled as a junior.
In the eighth, lightning struck for Old
Forge as the breaks that had gone
against them all season finally went
their way.
Nemetz reached on an error when
Kaitlyn Krug couldn’t handle the fresh-
man’s bunt and Carey smacked a single
to right which got by Erin Salinkas to
put runners at second and third with no
out.
Andi Alsalahat followed with a sharp
grounder to Jenna Rupakus and the
Blue Ridge second baseman gunned
down Nemetz at the plate for the first
out of the inning.

started.
Marianelli hit a fly ball to the warn-
ing track for a sacrifice fly to score Ca-
rey, and Chelsea Cadwalder followed
with an RBI double that one-hopped
the left centerfield fence to give score
Alsalahat and give Old Forge a 3-1 lead.
With Michelle Giacometti running
for Cadwalder on the speed-up rule, the
junior moved to third when Lindsay
Regan reached on an infield single, and
scored when Wolfe dropped a popup
off the bat of Bilski.
Sarah Fish and Jess Casey then deliv-
ered the knockout blow for the Blue
Devils with a two-run double and an
RBI-single respective to put Old Forge
ahead, 7-1. The senior duo had struck
out in each of their three previous plate
appearances before coming up with the
big hits.
“You put the ball in play and things
happen,” said Revello. “Those three
girls just kept battling at the plate and
came up big for us. It’s nothing new for
this senior group.
“Everyone of them have come up big
for us during their careers.”
Blue Ridge tried to rally in the bot-
tom of the eighth with two straight sin-
gles to start the inning. Marianelli re-
tired Carissa Hawk on another short
flyball to Nemetz, and Ucci on a one-
hopper back to the circle for two quick
outs. But Rupakus doubled to cut the
deficit to 7-3.
There would be no comeback howev-
er as Marianelli retired Salinkas on a
grounder to Bilski at first which the se-
nior took herself to set off another Old
Forge celebration.
“Once the postseason started we real-
ly wanted to come through and show
everyone we could get the fourth (dis-
trict title) and we did,” said Bilski. “It
feels real good to win this and go on to
the state playoffs.”
Marianelli and Nemetz each had two
hits for the Blue Devils as eight of the
nine hitters in the lineup smacked at
least one hit.
Old Forge will take on District 3
champ Greenwood (17-3) in the first
round of the PIAA Class 1A Tourna-
ment at Lebanon Valley College on
Monday at 2 p.m. The Blue Devils de-
feated Claysburg-Kimmel at LVC in

Greenwood won the Tri-Valley
League and is paced by pitcher Anna
Heggenstaller who was 5-0 with a 0.88
ERA. Heggenstaller also led the TVL
with a .583 average and 17 RBI. A win

Continued from Page 40
score Long with the first run of the
game, and Avvisato smacked a single to
center to drive in Fultz, giving Old
Forge (14-3) a 2-0 lead.
The Blue Devils played small ball in
the fourth after Gary Puckett walked to
lead off the inning. Mike Vieira re-
placed Puckett via the speed-up rule
with Chris Talipski coming to the plate.
DiMattia called for Talipski to sacri-
fice and the senior dropped down a per-
fect bunt in front of home plate which
he beat out for a single. Goodall
matched Talipski with a bunt for a sin-
gle down the third base line which
Miller fielded and threw wide of first
allowing Vieira to score after beating
the throw home.
“It is a sacrifice bunt and we work on
it hard all year,” said DiMattia. “But the
fact is we do a good job of putting pres-
sure on teams defensively and make the
third baseman field the ball on the first
one. We then make Miller come off the
mound twice in a row to try and get the
ball on the others and it worked out.
“We put a lot of pressure on teams
with our speed and athletic ability, and
even if it is a straight sacrifice it’s a
tough play for them to make.”
The play on Goodall’s bunt not only
allowed Old Forge to take a 3-0 lead,
but also put runners on second-and-
third with no outs. Martinelli then blew
the game open with a shot to the left
centerfield gap for a two-run double.
But the Blue Devils were not done.
Long bunted for another single to
give Old Forge first-and-third before
the speedy senior duo at the top of the
Blue Devils order executed a double
steal in which Martinelli easily stole
home for a 6-0 lead.
“That’s been out mentality all sea-
son,” said Long of the Blue Devils
bunting and running. “We want to
make teams play to us, and if they can’t
do the little things right, then we take
advantage.”
Goodall retired the side in the fourth
before Benko and Tanner Holmes sand-
wiched two one-out singles around a
double down the right field line by Er-
ich Aten to put Trail on the board, 6-2.
Mason Mecke then singled home Aten
one out later to cut the Lions deficit to
6-3, but Puckett ended the threat by
throwing out Mecke to end the inning.
Old Forge responded quickly with
two runs in the sixth after Long fol-
lowed a leadoff walk to Martinelli with
a double down the first base line. A
passed ball allowed Martinelli to score
from third before Fultz delivered a sac-
rifice fly to center to score Long for an
PAGE 46
8-3 lead.
Goodall got six of the next seven bat-
ters, including the final four of the
game to preserve the win and send the
Blue Devils back to the state tourna-
ment. He finished the game scattering
seven hits and two walks over seven in-
nings while striking out six.
Long led Old Forge at the plate with a
3-for-4 day, three stolen bases and three
runs scored. Martinelli also stole three
bases and scored two runs to go with
two hits and a walk, and Talipski reac-
hed base three times with a single, walk
and when he was hit with a pitch. He
also stole two bases and scored a run.
“We are going to celebrate this one,”
said Martinelli. “Playing on this field,
this is the big stage. And as seniors, we
love this atmosphere of being in the big
game. It’s a feeling like no other.
“But then we know as a squad to get
back to work. Four games is all it takes
to win the whole thing. We have the
pitching, the speed. We can hit and play
defense. We’re ready to make a run.”
DiMattia agreed with his starting
second baseman as he soaked in the
moment after the game.
“This is probably the greatest thing I
could have dreamed of when I came
back here,” said the first-year skipper
who also became the first person to win
gold medals as a player and head coach
at Old Forge High School. “This is the
most fun I have had around baseball in
a long time. These guys work extreme-
ly hard, and they never quit.
“I told them after the game, they have
won a lot of district medals in baseball
and basketball but it would be nice to
put a PIAA gold one in the middle. It’s
down to 16 teams and someone has to
win four straight. Why not us?”
Old Forge will face District 4 cham-
pion Muncy (18-5) on Monday at Con-
nell Park in Scranton at 4:30 p.m. The
Indians have won 12 of their last 13
games, and outscored its D4 oppo-
nents, 28-4, in three playoff games.
A win by the Blue Devils would put
the team into the PIAA Class 1A Quar-
terfinals on Thursday against either
District 5 champ Salisbury Elk Lick or
District 3 runner-up Lancaster Country
Day at a site and time to be determined.

 Baby Animals are everywhere

SUNDAY DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JUNE 5, 2011

Mother Nature with all of its
beauty has really blossomed over
the past two weeks. I have recent-
ly witnessed a few amazing
things that I have seen before but
never seem to get tired of. The
early part of spring was nothing
short of a washout. Every nook
and cranny that could collect rain
runoff did. The reptiles, amphib-
ians and insects that reproduce in
wetlands or vernal pools certainly
had no problem finding a place to
lay their eggs. The magic of
Mother Nature truly comes to life
when you can witness the birth of
God’s creations. I have had that
experience on several occasions.
I hunted the same game land
roads throughout the spring tur-
key season. These trails were of-
ten covered with old tire ruts and
depressions. They were always
filled with water and critters wait-
ing to reproduce. I walked around
the same miniature pond every
other day for two weeks. It started
with a few newts floating around
and before I knew it the bottom
was covered with all kinds of
eggs. I recognized tree frog eggs,
salamander eggs and newt eggs.
They were all shapes and sizes
and they magically appeared at
different times. By the end of the
turkey season, the water hole was
bursting with life. There must
have been five thousand tadpoles
on my last visit.
The birds are certainly nesting
and working hard at feeding their
young. Tree nesting birds may
have a better chance of surviving
than the ground nesters. Tree
chicks are tended too by the
adults and won’t leave the safety
of the nest until they can fly. The
OUTDOORS WITH JAKE
ground nesting birds like turkeys
have been struggling since the be-
ginning. The cold damp evenings
of this rainy spring spells disaster
for them. The same thing could
be said for grouse and pheasants
as well. They have a tendency to
develop colds and malnutrition.
We can only hope that the recent
warm weather didn’t come too
late for our ground nesters.
My morning excursions into
the woods also provided for other
baby wildlife viewing opportuni-
ties. I have already seen baby
opossums, rabbits, skunks and
raccoons. It is important to re-
member the most important rule
for dealing with wildlife of any
age and that is “leave them
alone!” While most baby animals
look cute and cuddly, they could
bite or scratch you and they may
be carrying a disease such as ra-
bies. Any baby animal is better
off with their parents then at a re-
habilitator.
The same rule applies when
dealing with fawns. Whitetail
deer are also having their young
now and fawns can appear on the
ground without notice. It is im-
portant to remember that mother
deer will leave their fawns safe
and sound while they are out
feeding. Whitetail deer typically
feed their young in the morning
and evening, leaving the fawns
alone for most of the day. If you
find a fawn, enjoy your discovery
by taking a photo or two and
walking away. The mom will
most likely return. If you are to-
tally convinced that the mom is
no longer taking care of the fawn
for one reason or another, you
should leave it alone and call an
animal rehabilitator. Tonight on
Pennsylvania Outdoor Life, we’ll
walk with Kathy Uhler of the Po-
cono Wildlife Rehabilitation and
Education Center in the Poconos.
She will have a few more tips for
anyone finding a fawn. You can
check out her web site at
www.poconowildlife.org. Now is
the time to enjoy Mother Nature.
Remember to take a camera be-
cause baby animals are every-
where.
Riverfest 2011 Reminder!
June is River’s Month and there
is certainly reason to celebrate the
Susquehanna River. It is a beauti-
ful scenic river that many local
residents take advantage of. This
waterway is home to many fish
including bass, walleye and mus-
ky to name a few. Many anglers
can’t wait for the conditions to get
right so they can hit the river. Bass
season on the river opens on Sat-
urday, June 18th. I have watched
an increase in the number of ca-
noes and kayaks being paddled
down the river as well. I still enjoy
summer days on the Susky.
You can Celebrate River’s
Month by taking part in the 2011
Wyoming Valley RiverFest. It
runs from Friday, June 17 to Sun-
day, June 19. While most of the
shoreline activities center around
the Wilkes-Barre Riverfront
Parks River Common and Nesbitt
Park you can begin the celebra-
tion on the water. The weekend
long event kicks off on Friday
evening, June 17th with a guided
river trip which paddles for 3
hours from West Pittston to
Wilkes-Barre. Once in Wilkes-
Barre you can hang around and
enjoy some live music, food and
other entertainment from 5 to
9:30 p.m.
Saturday’s celebration will be-
gin with a 14 mile sojourn from
Harding to Wilkes-Barre for any-
one interested in getting on the
water. Or you can join the Festival
on Saturday in Nesbitt Park from
12:00pm to 5:00pm for food, live
music and a host of other activ-
ities for all ages! The festival con-
tinues Saturday at the River Com-
mon.
On Sunday, June 19th, witness
a first for the Wyoming Valley.
Watch as eight local teams race
Dragon Boats from the River
Common. Teams from Pennsyl-
vania American Water, Guard In-
surance Group, PNC Bank, The
Times Leader, and Entercom
Communications, Luzerne
County and Wilkes-Barre will be
competing on the river. These 40
foot long ancient Chinese boats
are raced around the world by
teams of 22 people paddling in
unison. The PA Fish and Boat
Commission will be conducting a
family fishing clinic (call 570-
477-2206 to register) or you can
register for a guided sojourn that
will be paddling from Wilkes-
Barre to Hunlock Creek. For

Sem students receive President’s Educational Excellence Award

Wyoming Seminary Upper School recently presented 33 students with the Presi-

prior to Commencement.
The award is given to graduating seniors who 1) have attained an A- average or
equivalent during their junior and senior years, and 2) received a score (in the 11 or 12
grade) placing them at or above the 85 percentile on any nationally recognized college
admissions examination, such as the SAT or ACT.
President Ronald Reagan established the award in 1983 to encourage students to
achieve high academic standards by recognizing and rewarding them for academic
excellence.
