Ready to SeRve
A Riverside freshman has captured a division title
By Josh McAuliffe
sPeciAl To The TRiBoRo BANNeR Karissa Ghigiarelli, at age 14, already has a bigtime serve and volley game. A freshman member of Riverside Junior-Senior High School’s girls tennis team, Ghigiarelli dominated singles play this year on the way to capturing the District 2 Class 2A championship — a first for a Riverside player. On Friday, the Moosic resident will travel to Hershey to compete in the PIAA state tournament. A cyber school student, Ghigiarelli is fully committed to her game. She commutes to Allentown five days a week to train with her coach, Todd Kane, and spends her weekends playing in far-flung tournaments against some of the best young tennis players both domestically and internationally. “Cyber school allows me to work around my tennis. If I went to a traditional school, I wouldn’t be able to focus on that,” said Karissa, the daughter of Christy and Chad Ghigiarelli. “What’s great is that the whole Riverside School District is behind her all the way,” added Christy Ghigiarelli. Ghigiarelli first started playing tennis at age 5 at Birchwood Tennis & Fitness Club in Clarks Summit. She took to the sport naturally but didn’t get completely serious

about it until about two years ago when she started working with Kane, a veteran coach who has worked with a number of United States Tennis Association (USTA) players. “He’s really taught me how to compete and get into tournaments. He’s taught me to play in a different style. A lot of girls hit flat, but I hit with spin. It gives me a lot more control,” said Ghigiarelli, who counts Rafael Nadal and Angelique Kerber among her favorite tennis players. So, just what is it about the sport that ignites her passion? “I like tennis because I love to compete, and every match is different,” she said. “You always have to adjust your style, your game, to everyone you’re playing. It really makes you think. I like that because I control everything that happens.” To give you an idea of Ghigiarelli’s busy schedule, after competing in Hershey at states, she’ll travel to Anguilla to compete in an international tournament. Then, she’ll go to Erie to play in a big middle states tournament. About a month ago, she competed in her first international tournament in Puerto Rico. There, she played against elite players from Costa Rica, China and Australia. “It didn’t go as well as I hoped it would, but it was still a really good experience,” Ghigiarelli said. “I like playing up in the older age groups against older and more experienced players. Playing more competitive players definitely helps me.” Ghigiarelli’s dedication extends off the court, as well. When she’s not practicing, she’s running and doing strength and

kettle bell training. And, of course, there’s her studies — quite often, she’s working on homework on the car ride to and from Allentown. “You have to be disciplined, and she is,” said Christy Ghigiarelli. “It’s all her in terms of motivation.” Ghigiarelli was thrilled to have the chance to compete on the Riverside tennis team this season. She went undefeated in Lackawanna League play and was barely challenged. She said her coach, Robert Thomas, has been “crazy supportive,” as have her teammates. At states, she expects to play a couple of players she’s competed against at other tournaments. She’s going in confident
about her chances. “I’m very excited. I think I can do it,” said Ghigiarelli, whose 12-year-old brother, Tony, also plays tennis. Someday, Ghigiarelli would love the chance to play professional tennis. Until then, however, she realizes she’s got a lot of hard work ahead of her. “I would love to get a scholarship to play Division 1 tennis somewhere,” she said. “If I got to play at a school like Penn State, that would be really cool.” Meet Karissa Ghigiarelli Age: 14 Residence: Moosic Family: parents, Christy and Chad Ghigiarelli; brother, Tony.

A reunion of the Minute Men Drum and Bugle Corps was recently held at Arcaro and Genell Restaurant in Old Forge. The Minute Men were active from 1971 to 1980, performing in many parades throughout the state. It consisted of teenagers, mostly from Old Forge and Duryea, but it had members from Hazleton to Forest City. The group started competing in 1973 and competed in the U.S. Open in Ohio. They also performed for the Phildelphia Phillies numerous times, competed in the Eastern States and Northeast drum corps competitions, as well as hosting a yearly show in Old Forge memorial stadium. Even though it has been a while since they were active, members said they keep a tight bond with each other and are still friends.

Taylor community library Newly arrived audio books available at the library “Between You and Me” by Susan Wiggs Caught between two worlds, Caleb Stoltz is bound by a deathbed promise to raise his orphaned niece and nephew in Middle Grove, where life revolves around family, farm, faith and longheld suspicions about outsiders. When disaster strikes, Caleb is thrust into an urban environment of high-tech medicine and the relentless rush of modern life. Dr. Reese Powell is poised to join the medical dynasty of her wealthy, successful parents. Bold, assertive and quick-thinking, she lives for the addictive rush of saving lives. When a shocking accident brings Caleb Stoltz into her life, Reese is forced to deal with a situation that challenges everything she thinks she knows and ultimately emboldens her to question her most powerful beliefs. Then one impulsive act brings about a clash of cultures in a tug-of-war that plays out in a courtroom, challenging the very nature of justice and reverberating through generations, straining the fragile threads of faith and family. “The Forbidden Door” by Dean Koontz She was one of the FBI’s top agents until she became the nation’s mostwanted fugitive. Now Jane Hawk may be all that stands between a free nation and its enslavement by a powerful secret society’s terrifying mind-control technology. She couldn’t save her husband, or the others whose lives have been destroyed, but equipped with superior tactical and survival skills and the fury born of a broken heart and a hunger for justice Jane has struck major blows against the insidious cabal. Now Jane’s enemies are about to hit back hard. If their best operatives can’t
outrun her, they mean to bring her running to them, using her five-year-old son as bait. Jane knows there’s no underestimating their capabilities, but she must battle her way back across the country to the remote shelter where her boy is safely hidden for now. As she moves resolutely forward, new threats begin to emerge: a growing number of brain-altered victims driven hopelessly, violently insane. With the madness spreading like a virus, the war between Jane and her enemies will become a fight for all their lives against the lethal terror unleashed from behind the forbidden door. “The Cottage on Rose Lane” by Hope Ramsay Jenna Fossey’s life is about to change. An unexpected inheritance and the chance to meet relatives she never knew existed has her heading to the charming little town of Magnolia Harbor. As soon as she arrives, long-buried family secrets lead to even more questions, and the only person who can help her find the answers is her sailing instructor. Nothing makes Jude St. Pierre feel more alive than racing on the open sea - at least, not until Jenna comes strolling down his dock asking for sailing lessons. It feels wrong to be attracted to her - especially when he learns why she came to town. Jude knows she deserves the truth but can he help her discover it without losing her and the family he’s come to think of as his own? “The Hope Jar” by Wanda E. Brunstetter Michelle Taylor is not who her new family in Lancaster County believes her to be. The Lapps were looking for their long-lost granddaughter when they met Michelle and she assumed the identity of Sara Murray. Once homeless and hopeless, Michelle has come to love her new Amish friends and even considers the idea of romance among them. Finding an old blue jar in the barn that is filled with slips of paper containing thoughts, quotes, and prayers by an unknown author becomes a boost to Michelle’s budding faith. Will she be able to tell the truth without hurting the ones she has truly come to love? “The Accidental Beauty Queen” by Joy Osmanski Charlotte Gorman loves her job as an elementary school librarian, and is content to experience life through the pages
of her books. Which couldn’t be more opposite from her identical twin sister. Ginny, an Instagram-famous beauty pageant contestant, has been chasing a crown since she was old enough to enunciate the words world peace, and she’s not giving up until she gets the title of Miss American Treasure. So she drags Charlotte to the pageant as a good luck charm, but the winning plan quickly goes awry when Ginny has a terrible, facealtering allergic reaction the night before the pageant, and Charlotte suddenly finds herself in a switcheroo the twins haven’t successfully pulled off in decades. Unprepared for the glittery world of hair extensions, false eyelashes and push-up bras, Charlotte is mortified at every unstable step in her sky-high stilettos. As she discovers there’s more to her fellow contestants than just wanting a sparkly crown, Charlotte realizes she has a whole new motivation for winning. “Becoming Mrs. Lewis” by Patti Callahan When poet and writer Joy Davidman began writing letters to C. S. Lewis, she was looking for spiritual answers, not love. Love, after all, wasn’t holding together her crumbling marriage. Everything about New Yorker Joy seemed ill-matched for an Oxford don and the beloved writer of Narnia, yet their minds bonded over their letters. Embarking on the adventure of her life, Joy traveled from America to England and back again, facing heartbreak and poverty, discovering friendship and faith, and against all odds, finding a love that even the threat of death couldn’t destroy. This is a story of the love of literature and ideas and a love between a husband and wife that, in the end, was not impossible at all. “Before We were Strangers” by Brenda Novak Five-year-old Sloane McBride couldn’t sleep that night. Her parents were arguing again, their harsh words and then another other sound, an ominous thump before all went quiet. In the morning, her mother was gone. The official story was that she left. That hadn’t sat any better at the time than it did when Sloane moved out at eighteen. Not even a fresh start working as a model in New York could keep the nightmares at bay or her fears that the domineering father she grew up with wasn’t just difficult, he
was deadly. Now another traumatic loss forces Sloane to realize she owes it to her mother to find out the truth, even if it means returning to a small town full of secrets and lies, a jilted ex-boyfriend, and a father and brother who’d rather see her silenced. As Sloane starts digging into the past, the question isn’t whether she can uncover what really happened that night, it’s what will remain of her family if she does? “The Boy” by Tami Hoag When Detective Nick Fourcade enters the home of Genevieve Gauthier, the bloody crime scene that awaits him is both the most brutal and the most confusing he’s ever seen. Genevieve’s sevenyear-old son, KJ, has been murdered by an alleged intruder, yet Genevieve is alive and well, a witness inexplicably left behind to tell the tale. There is no evidence of forced entry, not a clue that points to a motive. Meanwhile, Nick’s wife, Detective Annie Broussard, sits in the emergency room with the grieving Genevieve. A mother herself, Annie understands the emotional devastation this woman is going through, but as a detective she’s troubled by a story that makes little sense. Who would murder a child and leave the only witness behind? Then the very next day KJ’s babysitter, Nora Florette, is reported missing, the town is up in arms, fearing a maniac is preying on their children. The pressure is mounting from a tough, no-nonsense new sheriff, the media and the parents of Bayou Breaux, Nick and Annie dig deep into the dual mysteries. But sifting through Genevieve Gauthier’s tangled web of lovers and sorting through a cast of local lowlifes brings more questions than answers. Is someone from Genevieve’s past or present responsible for the death of her son? Is the missing teenager, Nora, a victim, or something worse? Then everything changes when Genevieve’s past as a convicted criminal comes to light. The spotlight falls heavily on the grieving mother who is both victim and accused. Could she have killed her own child to free herself from the burden of motherhood, or is the loss of her beloved boy pushing her to the edge of insanity? Could she have something to do with the disappearance of Nora Florette, or is the troubled teenager the key to the murder? How far will it go and when will it all end?

Kids receive their gifts.
This month, sites in the Scranton area will be among 5,000 U.S. drop-off locations collecting shoebox gifts for children overseas during Operation Christmas Child’s National Collection Week, Nov. 12-19. Scranton-area families, churches and groups are busy transforming empty shoeboxes into fun gifts filled with toys, school supplies and hygiene items. The Samaritan’s Purse project partners with local churches across the globe to deliver these tangible expressions of God’s love to children affected by war, disease, disaster, poverty and famine. For many of these children, it will be the first gift they have ever received. This year, Scranton-area residents hope to collect more than 12,514 gifts to contribute to the 2018 global goal of reaching 11 million children. “We are honored to be linking arms with our community to help children around the world experience the true meaning of Christmas,” said Regional Director Bill Rumbaugh, “These simple gifts show God’s love to children facing difficult circumstances.” One local drop-off location is at the
Moosic Alliance Church, 608 Rocky Glen Road in Avoca. Collection hours will be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 12; Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 14 and 15; Saturday, Nov. 17; and Monday, Nov. 19. You can also drop off packages 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 13; and Friday, Nov. 16: and 3-6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18. For additional drop-off locations visit the drop-off locator online. For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call 410-772-7360, or visit samaritanspurse.org/occ. Participants can donate $9 per shoebox gift online through “Follow Your Box” and receive a tracking label to discover its destination. Those who prefer online shopping can browse samaritanspurse.org/ buildonline to select gifts matched to a child’s specific age and sex, then finish packing the virtual shoebox by adding a photo and personal note of encouragement. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. NOVEMBER 1, 2018
