The area’s two rival teams are coming back strong BY RICH COX FOR THE TRIBORO BANNER

High school football season is almost upon us, and here’s an overview of our two local teams. Old Forge Blue Devils PIAA District 2, Class A of the Lackawanna Football Conference, Division 4 2018 Record: 8-3 overall; 4-0 in Division Move over pizza. Head coach Mike Schuback has the recipe for something much tastier. The Old Forge native has the recipe for success. For nearly two decades, he’s proven the recipe to be true time and again. Since Schuback’s arrival to Old Forge, the Blue Devils have transformed into a dynasty. The Blue Devils won the District 2 Class 1A championship in 2006, 2011, 2013-2015 and 2017, the LFC III championship in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2011-2013, 2015 and the LFC IV championship in 2018. With 12 starters returning (six offensive and six defensive), the perennial powerhouse has a legitimate shot to be in the state final come December. A heartbreaking loss to Lackawanna Trail (29-12) in the District 2 Class 1A championship in 2018 motivated the team to come back from the offseason stronger than years before. The explosive offensive unit is led by quarterback Dante Lucarelli. The junior threw for 1,382 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2018. Lucarelli has two of the best linemen in the

TS_CNG/TRIBORO/PAGES [T01] | 08/21/19

division to protect him in first team all-stars and seniors Jacob Burkhart and Jonathan Nicholoff. The running game is led by the two-headed monster of senior and junior (respectively) running backs Kevin Pepsin and Colin Holzman. The pair combined for 782 yards and eight touchdowns in 2018. All-star and senior Jackson Lynwood and junior Michael DiGregorio could make a case for the most dangerous wide receiver duo in the league. The pair combined for an additional 555 yards and 11 scores in 2018. The staunch defensive unit is led by senior Tyler Carey, who had four interceptions, 11 deflected and 22 tackles in 2018, and junior linebacker Colin Holzman who led the team in total tackles in 2018. Old Forge will play its season opener at Carbondale Area on Aug. 28. Riverside Vikings PIAA District 2, Class AA of the Lackawanna Football Conference , Division 3 2018 Record: 6-5 overall, 2-2 in Division III The Vikings are arguably the most exciting team in Division 3 football. Head coach Harry Armstrong will continue using a high-intensity offense. The up-tempo style of play has become the Vikings’ model over the past few seasons, with Armstrong leading the charge. Junior quarterback Johnny Gilchrist continues to set the pace for the high-octane offense. Gilchrist can wallop his opposition in the pocket with laser precision accuracy or by slinging the ball downfield to one of his three dynamic receivers. He had an impressive sophomore campaign in 2018, throwing for 1,996 yards with 22 touchdowns.

10:22 | CORNELLCHR

Riverside wide receiver Razen Reyes catches a pass at a recent practice. Ball control could be crucial for the Vikings as senior Anthony Lima is the only returning starter on the offensive line. On a positive note, the Vikings could have the most well-rounded receiving core in the entire division this season. In 2018, the treacherous trio of Razen Reyes, Diego Rojas and Kristian Pon devoured opposing cornerbacks week in and week out with their ferocious speed and agility. Reyes, one of the best wideouts in the division, had 49 receptions for 715 yards and 10

touchdowns in 2018. Rojas had 35 receptions for 459 yards and four touchdowns. Pon had 35 catches for 245 yards and led the Vikings’ rushing attack with 583 yards and seven touchdowns in 2018. Pon and Rojas will rejoin Shawn Torres, John Greenfield and Alex Jaworski in the Vikings’ secondary. The team’s insatiable offense should provide enough firepower to give the Vikings another District 2 Class 2A playoff-birth. Riverside will play its season opener against Susquehanna on Aug. 28.

This is the third consecutive year that Marywood University’s CSD graduates have passed the national examination with a 100-percent pass rate. Additionally, 100 percent of this year’s graduates have gained employment in the field of speech-language pathology.

Now hear this BY JEANIE SLUCK TAYLOR COMMUNITY LIBRARY

New audio books available at the Taylor Community Library.

“The Lying Room” by Nicci French It should have been just a mid-life fling. A guilty indiscretion that Neve Connolly could have weathered. An escape from 20 years of routine marriage to her overworked husband, and from her increasingly distant children. When Neve pays a morning-after visit to her lover, Saul, and finds him brutally murdered, their pied-àterre still heady with her perfume, all the lies she has so painstakingly stitched together threaten to unravel. After scrubbing clean every trace of her existence from Saul’s life and death, Neve believes she can return to normal, shaken but intact. She can’t get out of her head the one tormenting question: what was she forgetting? An investigation into the slaying could provide the answer. It’s brought Detective Chief Inspector Alastair Hitching, and Neve’s worst fears, to her door. Now with every new lie, every new misdirection to save herself, Neve descends further into the darkness of her betrayal and into more danger than she ever imagined. Because Hitching isn’t the only one watching Neve. So is a determined killer who’s about to make the next terrifying move in a deadly affair. “Memories of Glass” by Melanie Dobson As war rips through the heart of Holland, childhood friends Josie van Rees and Eliese Linden partner with a few daring citizens to rescue Eliese’s son and hundreds of other Jewish chil-

dren who await deportation in a converted theater in Amsterdam. Amid their resistance work, Josie and Eliese’s dangerous secrets could derail their friendship and their entire mission. When the enemy finds these women, only one will escape. “Murder in the Corn Maze” by G.A. McKevett It doesn’t take cash, just some good old-fashioned creativity, to turn a pillowcase into a ghost costume or a trashcan into a suit of armor. So even if she has to stick to a budget, Stella Reid always makes holidays like Halloween memorable for 12-year-old Savannah and the rest of her grandchildren. After joining the other townspeople for trick-or-treating and the annual parade down Main Street, Granny Reid and the kids head to Judge Patterson’s antebellum mansion, where a corn maze awaits. Most of the youngsters are too terrified to make it all the way to the middle. It’s lucky for them, because when Savannah and Granny get there, it proves to be even scarier than they expected, half buried in the mud at the center of the maze lies a human skull. The discovery uncovers a mystery that stretches back decades and seems to be related to the long-unsolved murder of Granny Reid’s mother. After all this time, the culprit may be long gone or still hiding among them. It’ll be up to Granny to dig into this southern town’s history and old family secrets. “Murder in the First Edition” by Lauren Elliott Addie’s getting into the spirit for the upcoming Charity Auction, especially since she’s got an 1843 copy of Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” to donate. Her former colleagues at the Boston Public Library have confirmed that its worth runs toward the high five figures, which should help with the new pediatric wing. Her mood darkens, though, when a visitor from the past appears, the father of her late fiancé. His presence stirs up sad memories for Addie, but also has her fuming when Jonathan, true to his womanizing ways, runs off for a lunchtime liaison with Teresa Lang, who’s in charge of the auction. Soon after, Addie heads to Teresa’s office at the hospital and finds her dead body. What she doesn’t find is her valuable first edition. What sort of Scrooge would steal from sick children and commit murder in the process? As a Nor’easter bears down and a mystery emerges about Jonathan’s past, Addie must find out if she can appraise people’s motives and characters as well as she can appraise rare books. “Nothing Ventured” by Jeffrey Archer William Warwick has always wanted to be a detective, and decides, much to his father’s dismay, that rather than become a lawyer like his father, Sir Julian Warwick QC, and his sister Grace, he will join London’s Metropolitan

Police Force. After graduating from university, William begins a career that will define his life: from his early months on the beat under the watchful eye of his first mentor, Constable Fred Yates, to his first high-stakes case as a fledgling detective in Scotland Yard’s arts and antiquities squad. Investigating the theft of a priceless Rembrandt painting from the Fitzmolean Museum, he meets Beth Rainsford, a research assistant at the gallery who he falls hopelessly in love with, even as Beth guards a secret of her own that she’s terrified will come to light. While William follows the trail of the missing masterpiece, he comes up against suave art collector Miles Faulkner and his brilliant lawyer, Booth Watson QC, who are willing to bend the law to breaking point to stay one step ahead of William. Meanwhile, Miles Faulkner’s wife, Christina, befriends William, but whose side is she really on? “The Patient One” by Shelley Shepard Gray When word had gotten out that Andy Warner had committed suicide, everyone in town had been shocked. For seven men and women in their 20s, some Amish, some Mennonite, and some English, each of whom had once counted his or herself as one of Andy’s best friends, it had been extremely painful. And, maybe, a source of guilt. Years have passed since they’d all been together last. Some of them got into trouble. A couple got into arguments. Eventually they all drifted apart. Even though none of them really saw each other anymore, there was a steadfast certainty that they’d always have each other’s backs even when no one else did. Their bond was that strong until Andy did the unthinkable. Now the seven remaining friends, still reeling from Andy’s death, have vowed to look after each other again. As far as they’re concerned, it doesn’t matter that they’re now in their 20s and have drifted far apart. They need to connect again for Andy and for each other. “Red to the Bone” by Jacqueline Woodson In 2001, it is the evening of sixteen-year-old Melody’s coming of age ceremony in her grandparents’ Brooklyn brownstone. Watched lovingly by her relatives and friends, making her entrance to the soundtrack of Prince, she wears a special custom-made dress. But the event is not without poignancy. Sixteen years earlier, that very dress was measured and sewn for a different wearer, Melody’s mother, for her own ceremony, a celebration that ultimately never took place. Unfurling the history of Melody’s parents and grandparents to show how they all arrived at this moment and where they will go from here. “A Single Thread” by Tracy Chevalier After the Great War took both her beloved brother and her fiancé, Violet Speedwell has become a “surplus woman,” one of a genera-

tion doomed to a life of spinsterhood after the war killed so many young men. Yet Violet cannot reconcile herself to a life spent caring for her grieving, embittered mother. After countless meals of boiled eggs and dry toast, she saves enough to move out of her mother’s place and into the town of Winchester, home to one of England’s grandest cathedrals. There, Violet is drawn into a society of broderers--women who embroider kneelers for the Cathedral, carrying on a centuries-long tradition of bringing comfort to worshippers. Violet finds support and community in the group, fulfillment in the work they create, and even a growing friendship with the vivacious Gilda. But when forces threaten her new independence and another war appears on the horizon, Violet must fight to put down roots in a place where women aren’t expected to grow. “The Stalking” by Heather Graham With the execution of a serial killer known as the Artiste, Cheyenne Donegal thinks a grim part of her past is finally put to rest. Her cousin had been the twisted killer’s final victim, and then-teenage Cheyenne was integral in bringing him to justice. That tragedy drove her to become an FBI agent. Now she’s back in Louisiana because someone is murdering young women in the same manner as the Artiste. Agent Andre Broussard has deep ties in New Orleans and Cajun country beyond. He knows that more than one monster has stalked the bayou. Has a deadly threat been resurrected, or does someone have a dark inspiration? With the life of a missing woman on the line, Cheyenne and Andre have to set aside their doubts about each other and work to discover the truth. The case is too close and too personal, but they can’t let it go, especially now that a ruthless killer has turned the tables and is hunting them. “Strands of Truth” by Colleen Coble Harper Taylor is used to being alone, after all, she grew up in one foster home after another. Oliver Jackson finally took her under his wing when she was a runaway teenager, and now Harper pours her marine biology knowledge into Oliver’s pen shell research. But she’s never stopped wishing for a family of her own. When a DNA test reveals a half-sister living just two hours away, Harper is both hopeful and nervous. Over warm cinnamon rolls, Harper and Annabelle find striking similarities in their stories. Is it just a coincidence that both their mothers died tragically, without revealing Harper and Annabelle’s father’s name? Oliver’s son Ridge still sees Harper as a troubled teen even all these years later. When Oliver is attacked, Ridge and Harper find themselves working together to uncover dangerous secrets that threaten to destroy them all. They must unravel her past before they can have any hope for the future.

Sandy street trees in New Jersey resort town BY JOSHUA ARP For The Triboro banner

SubmiTTed phoTo

Recently planted maple trees in Ocean City, New Jersey.

My extended family has rented a property along Bay Avenue in Ocean City, New Jersey for several years. For a couple of years, however, our regular visits were interrupted. It seemed like the blink of an eye, but in the time we were gone, the original Cape Cod house was replaced by a modern two-story structure lifted up on pilings to reduce flood risk. I spent a few days at the new house recently. As my municipal-arborist self sat on the porch with my family, I found myself answering tree questions: “What’s wrong with the new maple tree?” “What’s wrong with the neighboring pear?” It occurred to me that both of the maple trees in the photo had been recently planted. It was then that I put two and two together and, with a smile, remembered Ocean City’s smart tree ordinance. The ordinance applies to both new construction and reconstruction. It appears, then, that any significant addition to a house will require the preservation or planting of street trees. Street trees are to be planted 25 to 30 feet apart, with appropriate clearance from infrastructure. If you look in the photo, you can also see that while the old pear in the foreground has no “planting bed,” the new maples beyond it have square planting beds. This is in

keeping with the ordinance, which goes so far as to require that planting beds be sized at least one foot larger than the root ball at the time of planting. Why does all of this matter? Well, if trees matter to the well-being of a municipality, due to the enforcement of the ordinance, Ocean City’s tree inventory just grew by two trees, and it did not cost the city any funds or effort beyond enforcement. So, how did they do with this planting? First of all, one of the trees died. Because the ordinance requires that newly planted trees survive for 24 months, this tree will be replaced. Why did the tree die? Ocean city has salt and sand hazards for trees, so only some trees can grow. But these trees have red maple genes in them, and red maples are native to Ocean City. The sandy soil does not hold water, so they have to

be irrigated through to establishment. But what about the location? Red maples are not on the “street tree approved” list, especially not under power lines. So these forgivenessis-easier-than-permission trees will need special pruning for a 10-foot buffer to remain away from the lines. Finally, what happened to the pear? Aside from the obvious unhealthy pruning cuts, it looks like when the sidewalk was repaired, some equipment accidentally removed 40% of its trunk bark. How would you look if your calories were permanently cut by that much? So the pear will probably also need to be replaced.
