Pocono Outdoors Fall Foliage Report #2

Peaking in the Poconos, Fall Foliage is on fire by Tom Williams Fall Foliage Leaf Spotter for PoconoOutdoors.com The vibrant colors abound, an explosion of sights and scents. The recent frosts and cool nights in the higher elevations of the Pocono Plateau are pushing the boundaries of the forest’s color palette. Many species are revealing their inner self; black gums, birches, and maples are igniting reds, oranges and yellows throughout Penn’s Woods. Summer drought conditions

throughout the Poconos as expected are shortening a vibrant peak season, however, with a relatively low occurrence of leaf spot diseases will help to keep the fall foliage season going into late October. As of last week’s rain event, some trees have dropped their leaves early, mostly affecting sugar maple. Central Poconos (southern Wayne, Pike and northern Monroe Counties): A sudden onset of peak color this area of the Poconos is causing

some of its best fall color in years. Red and sugar maples are peaking this weekend, but recent wind and rain have dropped many leaves. Remaining are cherry, ash, basswood, and aspen, they are showing awesome bright color. Birches, basswood, walnut, and aspen have been changing rapidly. Many trees are still green in this region See FOLIAGE, page 8

Editorial

An ounce of prevention… by Ruth Isenberg October 4 through 10 is national Fire Prevention Week. It’s a time set aside to think about how fires happen, and how they can be prevented. In 2020, the wildfires in the west have made everyone aware of the perils of uncontrolled fire. One fire was started when a gender-reveal party firework went astray. Dry conditions and heat combined with lighting (but no rain) have started fires and kept them burning. Landowners can help prevent that kind of fire by clearing away brush and undergrowth, and harvesting dead trees. But we can all do much to prevent fires much closer to home. This year’s theme for Fire Prevention Week is “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.” The majority of home fires and injuries occur as a result of cooking. Advice includes making sure small children can’t reach pots and pans on the stove, refraining from cooking while intoxicated or high, and in short, paying attention to what you are doing while cooking. There’s another form of fire prevention we should also be paying attention to. In our communities, strong volunteer fire companies are the first line of defense against catastrophic fires. They need strong community support. Donate what you can, and attend events that support the fire companies. If you are able, consider becoming a volunteer yourself. Fire fighters are always needed, but so are people to organize fundraisers and administer the fire stations. Finally, help prevent volunteer burnout. Sometimes all it takes is a word of thanks.

From the Archives From The Weatherly Herald, Thursday, October 8, 1970 James Faust and Cletus Milan, Publishers On the front cover Dr. Charles Potter of the Weatherly Rotary Club shows exchange student Yoshiko Narita the highlights of the Hill Climb race course. The article beside the photo goes on to explain that this, the 10th annual race, will draw over 170 drivers to take on “The Impossible One-Minute Mile.” “The event is financed by each driver’s entrance fee of $15, and by the sale of programs and booster tickets.” The 10th anniversary reunion of the Weatherly High School class of 1960 was held Saturday at the Stage Coach Inn in Drums, with 44 people attending.

The Forgotten Little Ships, Invasion of Normandy In the official war records of the Allied Nations, the following entry was read into record: “There were Navy Destroyers and Coast Guard Cutters whose captains disobeyed orders on D-Day and moved close to the beach to destroy pillboxes that were pinning down our GIs. Some so close they ran aground, but never stopped firing. Receiving intense machinegun, artillery and mortar fire, they kept firing on fortified positions and rescuing wounded soldiers from landing craft sunk by enemy fire.” With the size and complexity of the largest invasion in history, Many of the heroic actions were never recorded by more than a few words. Watching many big hit movies, you would think the only ships the Navy had were carriers, cruisers and submarines. Forgotten were the thirty-three American and three British destroyers engaged at the Normandy beaches, backed up by six destroyer escorts. Also taking part were the 83-foot Coast Guard cutters of the “Matchbox Fleet,” small lightly armored wooden ships that were sent over to England to prepare for the invasion.

The destroyers were 370 ft, the destroyer escorts were smaller, and the Coast Guard cutters were a mere 83 ft. When the invading fleet came over the horizon on the morning of June 6, 1944, it looked like a million ships approaching the German-held shores of France, sending them into panic. Standing out were the big battleships, cruisers and large troop carriers and transports. The big ships started pounding the shore batteries and pill boxes from 12 miles as the smaller ships continued to close. Destroyers and escorts started firing at 5 miles where landing craft filled with troops were launched as they continued to the beaches. The 60 Coast Guard cutters followed close in with the landing craft rescuing those sunk by German artillery, by 9 a.m. they rescued over 400 US soldiers from drowning. Both the destroyers and cutters were ordered to stop at a point, depending on water depth, of an estimated 2 miles out of enemy range, but the captains of the “Little Ships, “seeing the pounding the landing craft and troops

was taking, made a choice, go in with the troops, or sit and watch them decimated. They followed the landing craft until their keels were touching bottom. All were firing machine guns in support of the troops going ashore. The destroyers used their 5-inch guns to knock-out machinegun and mortar positions. The smaller cutters got much closer firing in support and rescuing troops. Like all conflicts, we always see the big or bold, the high ranking in military actions, but in real life in each branch of service, it’s the little ones always in the thick of things, it’s the privates, airmen, corporals, petty officers, sergeants and chiefs who bear the face to face in the conflicts we never see on the big screen or the newscasts. To win and keep our freedom, it takes everyone from the generals to the privates and airmen, the seamen to the admirals. None can exist and win without the other. Everyone who serves, no matter what position, risks paying with their lives, and tragically many did and still do today.

Seth’s Sightings As it’s foliage season, we spent our free time driving around the Poconos in search of bright displays of color. Since our plan was to seek some fresh-picked Stayman-Winesap apples, we detoured to orchards on our drives. Stayman-Winesaps ripen for picking in October. On Saturday, we made a stop at Heckman’s Orchards in Effort to check out their selection. No Staymans there, but we did get a nice mix of other varieties for the house. On Sunday, we took a longer drive, to Ritter’s Cider Mill in Mt. Cobb, where we did find a bin of them — already half emptied. Ritter’s is a bit of a tourist trap, but fun in that they make cider donuts, sell homemade pies and PA Dutch desserts,

and, most importantly, freshpress cider. We left with a half peck of apples, and a gallon of that day’s cider… and six hot donuts. The place was filled with families, but just in front of us was an older man with his mom, there for some cider and apples as well. As for foliage, the Mt. Cobb area had some spectacular color. Also of note was Lake Harmony and Pocono Summit. Here in the White Haven area, it is still quite a show. Sadly, we’re also seeing the trees begin to shed their leaves. Sunday eve, we had dinner on the road, enjoying a meal at a large restaurant that had us spread out around the place — well distanced from each other. It was NFL football time, and over in one

corner was a group of Buffalo Bills fans, having a good time as their team easily handled the Raiders. Going home, we listened to the Eagles game on the radio. While not spectacular, it was a win — though a better opponent would have eaten the Eagles up. The Eagles, with a win and a tie, are in first place in a sad division. The Patriots, without their starting quarterback, could not muster much offense. Not much to cheer for. I was able to catch the highlights of this weekend’s NASCAR race at Talladega, and wow — what fun. Those lucky fans in the stands got a treat, and it was good TV, all the crashes. It’s fine to see that Pocono Raceway has its double-header dates for late

When your home is at risk

June in 2021. Here’s hoping we can all be in the stands again for that. With Doc Rivers as coach for next season’s 76ers, I think they will have no excuses. The team should become one of the league’s elite. The league, however, is going to need to work hard to rebuild its brand. In the sports bar, there wasn’t that much interest in the Finals game that was being played. The BIG excitement is that in two more weekends, Penn State will start its football season. And speaking of seasons, one of our customers came by, on his way to have a weekend of bow hunting. So hunting season is underway. Good luck to area hunters, and be safe. Sightings this week include a fine fox at a driveway in Lehigh Township, a possible fisher sighting near the swamps in Foster Twp., and a large flock of turkey.

It is getting to the point where there’s nowhere to hide from politics. There are ads on my YouTube, in the mail, on the phone — even in texts. I got a message on my cell phone from someone I did not know to get a mail-in ballot — sorry, but I’m voting in person. For some fun this Saturday, Ruth and I went to the Carbon County Harvest Festival that was held at the West End Fairgrounds. We enjoyed a walk-around, some fair food, and the music of the Steel City Band. As the sun set, we headed out to beat the cold night that was coming. It’s a Monday holiday weekend, with no mail or banking — “Columbus Day.” For us, it’s a work day without the chance to get mail. It’s likely we’ll find something fun for part of Monday, even if that’s just work around the yard. We’ll also take the dogs to the dog park for some extra exercise for them, and us. This Saturday afternoon into the evening, the Bounty Hunter band will be performing at Linesville Park in White Haven, in an event to raise money for the White Haven Fire Company. The event features food, fun-raising and great music. Come out, bring a mask or keep social distances, but turn out for a good cause.

Fall Foliage…

Continued from page 1 like oaks in lower altitudes, but they are dropping their acorns, so gather them up for crafts. Common along rivers in the Poconos, sycamores,

are turning golden browns and yellows. Virginia creeper, a native vine wraps itself around stout trees, is showing shades of red. The Fall Foliage peak color in the Central Poconos Region will be mid-October. Southern Poconos (southern Monroe and Carbon County): In following step with the Northern and Cen-

tral Regions, the Southern has changed quickly over the last week and is progressing toward an early peak. Most maples, birches and aspens are showing flaming scarlet, orange, and yellow leaves. Vivid colors of cherries stand out like fire against the deep greens of mixed oaks and beech. Huckleberry and blueberry are reddish. This explosion of sumac, sassafras, cherry, poplar and aspen are painting a wide color palette in the region. The Fall Foliage peak color in the Southern Poconos Region will be around the weekend of October 24.

Roadmaster Bruce Berger declared the Kirk Street project ‘done,’ as is the Henning Road emergency repair. The blacktopping on Kresge Lane should be finished by the end of the month. He added that his crew is “all set for winter.” Township manager Suzanne Brooks reported paying $12,632 for the Henning Road repair. She received unani-

Crestwood sports roundup

Comets’ field hockey team pitches pair of shutouts Crestwood scored four times in the opening quarter, and went on to the 6-0 WVC Division I victory over Delaware Valley on Monday, marking its second 6-0 win in three days. Gabby Ambosie and Aubrey Colo scored early on to give Crestwood a quick 2-0 lead before Emily Davidson scored twice in a five-minute span to close the quarter with the Comets on top 4-0. Emma George and Emma Guydish scored second-half goals to complete the victory. Alex Lipinski, Mallory Moratori and George all had assists for the Comets (2-4-1), who dominated in shots on goal (27-2) and penalty corners (12-2). Crestwood goalkeeper Isabella Caporuscio faced two shots and stopped them both for the shutout. Jo

Llaurado had 13 saves for the Warriors (0-6). Crestwood 6, Nanticoke Area 0 - Aubrey Colo and Mallory Moratori each scored a pair of goals Saturday, powering the Comets past Nanticoke Area. Ambosie got the scoring started with 11 minutes remaining in the opening quarter with an unassisted goal. Less than two minutes later, Colo scored her first goal off an Emily Delvecchio assist. Alex Lipinski added a third goal in the opening period, from Ambosie’s assist, making it 3-0 at intermission. Moratori’s penalty stroke found the back of the cage at the 5:09 mark of the third quarter, upping the lead to 4-0. In the final quarter, Emma George scored off a Moratori assist, and Colo got her second goal

courtesy of Ambosie’s assist to account for the final score. Crestwood dominated in shots on goal (24-2) and penalty corners (7-2). Isabella Caporuscio had two saves in goal for the Comets.

Boys’ Soccer Crestwood 5, Hazleton Area 1 - On Saturday, Crestwood broke out to a 3-0 first-half lead en route to the Wyoming Valley Conference Division I victory at Hazleton Area. Crestwood’s Nick Ruggeri struck first and gave the Comets a 1-0 lead, and Ben Rossi doubled that with his goal off a Michael Zaleski assist. Just before intermission Nico Schwartz added an unassisted goal to make it 3-0 at the break. Ruggeri and Rossi both added their second goals in the

second half to account for the Comets’ final score. Jonathan Wassaff scored Hazleton Area’s lone goal. Crestwood had 12 shots on goal to the Cougars’ 2. Cole Kranson was in goal for the Comets.

Boys’ Cross Country Crestwood took two of three, beating Tunkhannock (21-35) and Wyoming Valley West (22-38), but falling to Lake-Lehman (21-36). Tavian McKenna of Valley West was the top individual finisher, posting a 16:26 on Lake-Lehman’s 3.1-mile course. Lake-Lehman’s Chandler Longstreet (16:45) and Nick Hockenberry (16:54) were the next two finishers. Crestwood was led by Weston Meduetz (7th,17:32)

and Nash Greene (10th, 17:39) in the race, which also featured Hazleton Area and MMI Prep runners. Eric Johnson (17:55) and Kyle Price (18:19) also figured in the Comets’ scoring. The Comets are now 7-2 on the season. Lake-Lehman is 10-0.

Girls’ Cross Country The Crestwood girls improved to 8-1 on the season by sweeping past Lake-Lehman (15-50), Tunkhannock (1550) and Valley West (15-50). Molly Demarzo placed first in 19:51 for the Lady Comets, who grabbed the top five spots in the meet. Julia Johnson (20:45), Jaden Weiss (20:48), Maggie Kozich (21:06) and Regina Pirolli (21:17) secured places 2-5.

Deal between U of Colorado and online gambling company, PointsBet, marks new low in devolution of major college sports by Frank Fear For some time, I’ve expressed concern about how major, revenue-based college athletics are being run. It’s about how commercialization has corrupted what should be an operation that supports amateur athletics and the students who participate (presumably) as part of their college education. I’ve argued for years that ‘socially responsible athletics administration’ is in short supply. And every time I believe ‘I’ve seen it all,’ it’s clear that I haven’t. The most recent example came just a few days ago in an article published in Sports Illustrated. Reporter Ross

Dellenger chronicles a deal between the University of Colorado and online gambling outlet, PointsBet, which will net CU a minimum of $1.65 million over five years. What’s shocking about the deal is that CU —a state-funded public university— will hawk gambling. How? It will advertise PointsBet at university-sponsored athletic events, most notably during football games, including featuring the gambling company during pre-game broadcasts and game broadcasts—both in the form of ‘live’ mentions and recorded messages. What’s more, there will be in-game mentions over the public

address system, a permanent field-level sign for fans to see, and ads that will flash on end zone LED screens. The arrangement extends to the school’s website, including banner ads and “a minimum of five homepages ‘takeovers,’ according to Dellenger. Just advertising, you say? UC will receive incentive dollars in the form of $30 for each new PointsBet customer that comes by way of CU. Those incentive dollars are on top of $1.625 million in guaranteed funds. It gets worse. With CU’s permission, PointsBet can use an athlete’s name or likeness in its publicity - even

though athletes can still file NIL (name, image, likeness) claims against the company to receive compensation for commercial use. CU also gave PointsBet the right to “have a stand at CU career fairs and to hold alumni recruiting events.” The last item is an example of how CU and the company “will collaborate on recruiting opportunities for the company.” It’s easy to brush off this contract by concluding that “it’s just one school.” But mind you, CU consulted with its conference, the Pacific 12, before entering into the agreement. And in a world where ‘if one does it, then...,” if leg-

islators don’t step in or fans express outrage to the school’s president and/or board, you can bet (no pun intended) it’s only a matter of time before other schools follow. Worse still, in today’s upside-down world, who’s to say how many college football fans will look at this agreement and conclude that it’s just fine? “People are going to bet anyway. If CU can get a piece of the action, good for the Buffs.” To that, I say: revenuebased college sports has lost its way. Frank Fear is managing editor of The Sports Column.

THE JOURNAL-HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2020— PAGE 11

Comets’ Romanoski enjoying football full-time by Steve Stallone Sports Editor Alex Romanoski is getting a kick out of playing football this year, and couldn’t be happier about making it a full-time gig. A member of the Crestwood soccer team throughout his varsity career, he also served as the kicker on the football team on the side. This year, he traded in his soccer uniform and decided to make football his number 1 choice. It’s been a move he hasn’t regretted, and one that has Comets’ football coach Ryan Arcangeli smiling. On Friday night, Romanoski celebrated senior night by scoring the game’s first touchdown in what turned out to be a 42-0 rout of Holy

Redeemer. It was his second touchdown in as many weeks, and proved that he has more than just a strong leg. On the Comets’ third play from scrimmage, the 5-foot-8, 190-pound fullback came out of the backfield and crossed into the flat. Quarterback Noah Schultz rolled to his left and hit Romanoski in stride. Fifty-seven yards later, he was in the end zone celebrating his first career touchdown catch, and the Comets were off and running. “That was great. I knew I was going in with it,” Romanoski said afterward. “I was in the flat, and I was just expecting to get 15 yards out of it, but when I got the ball and turned I saw blockers all around.” He broke one tackle and found his opening down

the home sideline, and from there it was off to the races, showing the speed most don’t associate with a fullback. “I’ve been fast my whole life, and it comes from playing soccer,” he explained. “I was the goalie, and I’m so used to making quick moves, side to side. It just comes from being athletic my whole life.” Arcangeli couldn’t have been happier for the kicker-turned-fullback, who’s been a big part of the Comets’ 4-0 start to the season. “It’s awesome for him to get in the end zone,” he said. “That’s a guy who last year was our kicker, he split time between that and soccer. He committed to football this year to go full time. “He’s one of our strongest guys in the weight room, and

to get him a touchdown — a senior a touchdown on senior night — is really special for him and it really goes to all his hard work. I’m really proud of him.” Romanoski was quick to credit his teammates for his success, and his coach for giving him a chance on the gridiron. “Today we had great blocking, that’s what won us this game. It’s not just the ballcarriers. It’s all a team effort and I give credit to literally everyone on our team for my touchdown. “They’re so enthusiastic about it. They celebrate for every person that makes a big play. That’s why I love this program and I committed to football and stopped doing soccer. Everyone also has

each other’s back when things are bad. “Making the jump (to football) was hard,” he continued. “Coach told me I should go fullback, and I said ok coach. Hard work pays off. I knew he’d give me a chance. That’s why I love him as a coach. He gives every single person on this team a chance. When he gave me a chance, I tried to make the best of it.” Romanoski averages 5 yards per carry, and scored his first varsity touchdown on a 2-yard run in a Week 3 win at Nanticoke. This time around, his parents got to see his biggest play yet. “My parents were here on senior night, and it’s great,” he said. “I’m just speechless about this whole night.”

Crestwood football wins big — now 4-0 is the best team around here, Williamsport, so you have to take that one off the block. That’s the defending state champion, period. They’re very well-coached, they have a great program. “It’s going to be a four-quarter game and we have to have a really good week of practice to be able to beat them.” Against Redeemer, senior fullback Alex Romanoski got things started on Senior Night, hauling in a short pass over the middle from Noah Schultz and turning it into a See CHS FOOTBALL, page 15

“We challenged our guys this week to not only play Holy Redeemer, but play ourselves,” Crestwood head coach Ryan Arcangeli said. “I told our guys we’ll never apologize for winning. A win’s a win, and we’re going to celebrate the heck out of each one.” That’s four straight for the Comets (4-0), who are atop the District 2 Class 4A rankings with defending Class 3A state champion Wyoming Area (3-1) next on the schedule. “It’s a huge game,” noted Arcangeli. “I know they lost along the way to who I think

GUARANTEED!

by Steve Stallone Sports Editor The Crestwood High School football team has a defending state champion coming to town this Friday night. In order for that game to have special meaning, the Comets had to take care of business this past Friday against undermanned Holy Redeemer. Not a problem for these focused Comets. Six different Comets reached the end zone in the first half, and Crestwood put this one out or reach early in a 42-0 WVC victory over the Royals.

57-yard touchdown before the game was 3 minutes old. On the Comets’ second possession, Schultz, a sophomore subbing again for injured starting quarterback Ryan Petrosky, raced 45 yards for his third touchdown in the last two weeks. Less than a minute later, Holy Redeemer’s bad snap rolled into the end zone, where Crestwood linebacker Cole Kakalecik pounced on it for a touchdown, making it 20-0 after one quarter. Senior running back Jimmy Hawley opened the second-quarter scoring with a 10yard TD run, and sophomore Kaleb Benjamin (5 carries, 101 yards) rambled 16 yards for another touchdown to up the lead to 35-0 and kick in the mercy rule. Late in the half with Holy Redeemer (0-2)

THE JOURNAL-HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2020— PAGE 15 backed up deep in its own territory, senior Marcus Vieney scooped up a poor punt and returned it 8 yards to paydirt to account for the game’s final touchdown. The Comets were hoping to get a lot of people involved on Friday night, and they did just that. “That’s what we were trying to do, spread the ball around, and get everybody more experience, get everybody into the end zone,” Arcangeli said. “If we can do that and build that experience, it’s going to really help us when we get in the back half of the season.” With a running clock in the second half, the Royals moved the football late, driving from their own 21 to the Crestwood 2-yard line on the strength of long runs from Christian Leon (21 yards) and Matt Schuler (37 yards). The Comet defense came up big on fourth down, however, stopping Schuler at the 2 to preserve the shutout. Schuler finished with 53 yards on seven second-half carries, and also recovered

a fumble on the second-half kickoff to lead the Royals. Redeemer quarterback Catal Ormondo was injured on a first-quarter pass play and did not return. Jacob Hunter finished the game at quarterback. “Coach (Tyson) Kelley is doing a great job over there. Because of how the season went, Holy Redeemer has to play above their head. But they came out here and gave us everything they had, and we have a lot of respect for them and their program to come out here and play us as hard as they possibly could,” Arcangeli said. So far, injury obstacles have failed to keep Crestwood from taking care of business during the first half of this COVID-shortened regular season. The Comets have used a swarming, dominating defense and some outstanding contributions from not only their starters, but several backups, to get the job done. They’ve been without three members of their offensive line since the opening quar-

ter of Week 1, and without injured starting quarterback Ryan Petrosky for the past two weeks. With others stepping up in their place, the winning continues atop the mountain. “And that’s why we’re not going to apologize for being 4-0,” Arcangeli said. “We’ve dealt with a quarterback injury, offensive linemen injuries, injuries in our defensive backfield, and we keep plugging, one gut check at a time. “We’re going to get healthy here. We’re turning in the right direction toward health, and I think we’ll continue to build off what we have. That’s the value of experience, and that’s really been big for us. Injuries happen. That’s football. But the true character of a team is judged when things are bad, and we’ve certainly had some bad times. We’re really stepping up, and I’m

really proud of them.” The defense has allowed just 38 points through four games this season, and played lightsout again Friday night. Ryan Harding and Logan Arnold had quarterback sacks, and a group of Comets added a third. Arnold had a 44-yard interception return taken away due to a penalty. Still, Arcangeli knows there’s room for improvement, particularly with a loaded second-half schedule that includes not only Wyoming Area, but Lake-Lehman and Berwick as well. “We have some things to fix,” he said. “We have to polish up some of our penalties. We tried to work on that this week. I think we did a better job today, but not great. Some things on special teams that I didn’t like that we really have to pay attention to detail this week.”

Heffley seeks to reinstate Jim Thorpe’s Gold Medal status A resolution to reinstate Jim Thorpe as the sole gold medal winner of two Olympic events was advanced in a unanimous vote by the PA House Tourism and Recreational Development Committee recently, according to Rep. Doyle Heffley, prime sponsor of the legislation and a committee member. House Resolution 1001 now moves to the full House for consideration. “My resolution encourages the International Olympic Committee to reinstate Jim Thorpe as the sole gold medal winner of the pentathlon and decathlon events during the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm,” said Heffley. “Unfortu-

nately, his gold medals were revoked after it was discovered that he violated strict rules regarding amateurism. The medals were reinstated in 1982. However, Thorpe was only recognized as a cogold medal winner with the athletes who were elevated to gold medal status after his medals were revoked. I believe the time is long overdue to reinstate one of our nation’s greatest athletes as the rightful winner of these two Olympic events.” The town of Jim Thorpe, where the athlete is buried, is located in the 122nd Legislative District, which Heffley represents.
