Lions’ Night at the Races is a bust By DOTTY MARTIN dmartin@mydallaspost.com
CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST
The Gate of Heaven gymnasium was supposed to be filled for the Dallas Lions Club Annual Night at the Races which has been cancelled because state police are cracking down on all small games of chance. Here, event co-chairs Frank Rollman, left, and Don Berlew talk about what could have been.
Members of the Dallas Lions Club just want to make enough money to support their charities. And the club has many of those, like student book scholarships, donations to the Back Mountain Memorial Library, The Association of the Blind, Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Luzerne County Fair sponsorship, Catherine McAuley House, Community Christmas Tree, Boy Scouts, American Legion and its Hometown Heroes Project donations. An annual Night at the Races
has allowed them to do just that for more than 25 years. Not this year. The Pennsylvania State Police have cracked down on events such as Night at the Races, shutting them down because they are illegal under Pennsylvania’s Small Games of Chance Act. A recent story published in The Times Leader quoted State Police Sgts. Jamie Jones and Gary Severns with the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement as saying that holding a Night at the Races-style activity is unlawful due to three elements: consideration, chance and reward. Consideration is defined by placing a bet or wager, chance is

the player having little to no control of the outcome. And the reward consists of cash, merchandise or anything of value that is greater than the bet. Both state Sen. Lisa Baker and state Rep. Karen Boback have co-sponsored legislation addressing small games of chance but neither of those bills will be passed in time for the Dallas Li-
ons Club to hold its event which was scheduled for April 20 at the Gate of Heaven gymnasium on Machell Avenue. Frank Rollman, who has cochaired every Night at the Races the club has held, said club members were taken by surprise. See RACES, Page 11
Future chefs hone skills By SARAH HITE Dallas Post Correspondent
Local youngsters had a sweet introduction to the culinary arts at a children’s cooking class held at the Brown Barn Café in Shavertown on Feb. 17. About 20 tykes participated in the class, held monthly at the café. In honor of the recently-observed Valentine’s Day, participants whipped up a batch of red velvet cupcakes and frosting from scratch. Café owner John Costello said the classes began in May 2011 as a way to show children and adults alike that it’s not impossible to make fresh food fast. “I wanted kids to see how easy it is to make real food from scratch,” said Costello. “I was making cupcakes with my 8-yearold daughter and I messed up the batter. I made another batter in two or three minutes. I thought to myself, ‘How much faster could the stuff from a box take to make?’” Costello said the class has another added benefit – it’s fun. Plenty of those in attendance had previously dabbled in food prep, including 11-year-old Ben Reavy, of Trucksville. He came to the event with his brother, 7year-old Decklan, and mom Susan to show off his skills in the kitchen. “Ben is the resident chef at home,” said Susan Reavy. “He is the creator of creators.” She said her eldest son likes to make trumped-up versions of his mom’s standard desserts. “He’ll take an ordinary cupcake and make it new,” she said. “Just this morning he said he wanted molten cupcakes. I just made regular ones, and he melted chocolate over the top of them.” Other seasoned students of sustenance had to learn the hard way. Elaine Rogocuski, of Pikes Creek, said she doesn’t like to cook, so she’s hoping her two children can learn to take the reins at dinner time. “It’s fun,” said 9-year-old Brayden Rogocuski. “I like to cook steak at home with my dad.” Brayden’s sister, 5-year-old Brenna, doesn’t like spending too much time working in the

kitchen unless she is the tastetester for her brother’s creations. She helped during the baking session by tasting the sugar before Brayden added it to the batter. “Anything with sugar, I’m there,” said Brenna. The biggest challenge during the class for 8-year-old Sophia Kruger, of Shavertown, and 9year-old Bridget Dowd, of Lehighton? Deciding who would crack the egg. “There’s only one egg,” said Kruger. “I think I like the messiness of cooking. I like cracking eggs.” In the end, the girls attempted to break the egg together, which resulted in fishing out egg shell fragments with their fingers. “We’re familiar with this challenge,” laughed Abbe Kruger, Sophia’s mom. Jill Walsh brought her daughters, 5-year-old Teagan Cotter and 8-year-old Eiden Cotter, all of Dallas, to the class because she thought it was a good opportunity for children to see what goes into the food they eat. And sometimes that includes tasting things they aren’t supposed to eat. “I like to taste the batter (before it bakes),” Teagan said. “We all do that.” While the cupcakes baked, the children were treated to a reading by local artist and children’s author Angelo DeMuro, of Shavertown.

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday A
sh Wednesday was observed on Feb. 13 at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Dallas by the Rev. Kathleen Jamhoury, interim pastor. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent in the Western Christian calendar. Occurring 46 days before Easter, it is a moveable fast that can fall as early as Feb. 4 and as late as March 10. Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of adherents as a reminder and celebration of human mortality and as a sign of mourning and repentance to God. The ashes used are typically gathered from the burning of the palms from the previous year’s Palm Sunday. This practice is common in much of Christendom, being observed mainly by Catholics, Anglicans, Lutherans and Methodists.

Volunteers band together for successful DHS Lock-In By LIZ MARTIN Special to The Dallas Post
Graduation day. For most students, it’s the day they have worked for since kindergarten. From a parental standpoint, however, graduation night means chewed fingernails and uneasiness that the child they raised for 18 years is going to be off with his or her friends, possibly at a party somewhere and will eventually be driving home at all hours of the night. That was, until the Class of 2000 was about graduate and Dallas PTSO mom Susan Levinson approached then-Dallas High School Principal Frank Galicki with an idea for a drug-free, alcohol-free graduation Lock-In party. “We discussed it, thought it would be an outstanding idea and ran with it,” Galicki explained. “That first year, we got a local car dealership to donate a used car as a raffle prize for the students of the first Lock-In. As you can imagine, the attendance was 99% of the graduating seniors because they all wanted to win the car.” Since then, committees of high school parents have secured bigticket items, such as microwaves,
I F YO U G O … The 13th Annual Dallas High School Lock-In Rummage & Bake Sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 9 and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 10 which will be Half Price Day.
televisions and even computers, for subsequent Lock-In raffles. Parents are the movers and shakers who have made graduation night both safe and memorable for each successive senior class. The trick has always been fundraising to earn enough money to put on a bigger and better party every year. The remarkable thing about it is that many of the parents continue to help with the Lock-In even after their children have graduated. Heather Calkins and Michelle Tomaselli are co-chairs for the Fourth Annual DHS Lock- In Rummage & Bake Sale, the biggest annual fundraiser, yielding thousands of dollars for the event. According to Calkins, the list of parents and teachers who worked to establish the sale is quite long. “Besides Michelle and me, Tanya Reinert, Maire Box, Deb Dan-
ko, Judy Santora, Donna Kon, Trudy McAndrew, Mary Barbara Gilligan, Debbie Zimmerman, Anne Manganello, Sue Van Horn, Kathy Millington, Maria Carr, Paula Glicini, Ellen Hunter, Theresa Dennis, Beth Monahan, Trudy Clemson, Jan Goeringer, Jill Martin, Diane Thompson, Kim Smith, Elia Pris, C.K. DeBona, Sharon Ellis, Marjorie Adam, Joanne Doziak, Heather Taylor, Ellen Machovich, Mary Donavon, Lisa DeGraba, Kippie Morgan, Noreen Diaco, Karen Pietraccini, Barbara Goode, Lisa Cummings, Sylvia Maas and teachers at both the high school and middle school are just a few of those who started this venture in the 2009/2010 school year,” Calkins said. The sale is held at the Dallas Middle School for a good reason, according to Calkins. “It is important that the middle school parents know about the Lock-In, too, before their children get up to the high school. I didn’t know about the Lock-In Committee until my son was a senior, but I would have helped out sooner had I known.” Donna Kon and Trudy McAndrew are the new co-chairs for the 13th Annual Dallas High School Lock-In. Both are in their second

year with the committee. “I joined because I think it is so important to provide a safe night after the graduation ceremony,” McAndrew explained. “I became involved when my son was a junior as I thought it was the junior class parents’ time to help so the senior parents were able to enjoy the graduation ceremony. In reality, it takes many volunteers. There are underclass and senior parents as well as parents of grad-
uated students, both current and retired teachers and school administrators, and a great deal of community support. “The message of the Lock-In is universal - to provide students with a safe, chaperoned night of fun and memories and to avoid the fatalities of celebrating graduation and the inherent risks involved with drinking and driving,” she continued. “I researched the statistics for one of
our events and was amazed at the decrease in fatalities that have been recorded over a 10-year period. While the focus is on the night of graduation, it is a message that bears repeating continuously. We hope to involve the student body more each year so they understand the significance of the decisions they will make and to encourage them to make smart choices.” The DHS Lock-In Raffle & Bake Sale Committee is still looking for donations of sale items in good condition or better, as well as baked items. Larger items will be posted on a bulletin board during the sale and a percentage of the sale is requested. Set up and drop off for the event will take place from 3 to 8 p.m. on Friday, March 8 at the Dallas Middle School, Conyngham Avenue. Parents and teachers wishing to help during the sale should contact Trudy McAndrew via email at Trudy@PlayItAgainWB.com and should include name, day(s), hours available and contact number. For baked goods donations, call Michelle Tomaselli at 4061247. Also, visit 2013 Dallas High School Lock-In Rummage & Bake Sale on Facebook.

sprayed with an emulsion in the spring to keep the dust down. Supervisor Frank Wagner said the roads are treated with calcium chloride to control the dust and argued that it was sufficient. “It doesn’t work,” said Charney, adding that the road kicks up so much dust that he can’t even go for a walk without choking. Roadmaster Martin Barry said the only way an emulsion treatment would work is if every resident cooperated and stayed off the road for at least three hours. Barry recalled a time when his department treated a gravel road with emulsion and several residents ignored the drying time restriction. Supervisor William Grant suggested looking into comparing prices between emulsion and calcium chloride. Supervisor Liz Martin agreed. The board denied a request from a Druid Hills resident to remove three trees from the front of her house. The trees are in the township right-of-way, but are not
hanging over the roadway nor are they rotten, the board pointed out. “Based on the evidence we have, we don’t have any obligation to clear trees,” said township solicitor Tom Brennan. In other business, the board authorized the release of a $1.4 million bond to PVR NEPA Gas Gathering, LLC, for completion of the Wyoming County Pipeline Project. The township is still holding a bond in the amount of $139,169 for the metering tap site which, according to Jeffrey Malak, attorney for PVR, should be completed within a couple of months. PVR Environmental Project Manager Nicholas Bryan said he and his company, which acquired Chief Gathering, LLC last April, are continuing efforts to better prepare local first responders in the event of an emergency. Bryan is coordinating the training, which will take place in April,
with state Senator Lisa Baker and state Representative Karen Boback. He said he’s also generating public awareness through pamphlets and contacting landowners. “We are developing a more robust action plan to be as prepared as possible,” Bryan said. Chris Yankovich of Chris’ Auto Repair asked the board to consider rotating towing providers for accidents and breakdowns. Currently, towing services are primarily provided by Martin’s Towing. Supervisor Liz Martin, who is not related to the owners of the towing service, said the board is looking into a monthly rotation for towing providers and will discuss it further at its next work session at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5. The next board of supervisors meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19.

A Meeker Road resident said his neighbor’s two large dogs have made his and his family’s life a “living hell” and asked township supervisors for help. “I wake up, watch TV, eat dinner, read to my children and get to listen to dogs,” he said, referring to the around-the-clock barking. He said the dogs also charge at him, his family and even passersby who walk their dogs along the road. The resident said he contacted the police department and said he was was told nothing could be done because the current dog ordinance only applies to residences in residential zoning districts, not agricultural or conservation districts. “There’s no doubt we need to fix that,” board chairman Dave Sutton said, referring to the wording of the ordinance. “We allow homes to be built in agricultural and conservation districts. It should include all residences. I don’t care if it’s a kennel. These dogs should not be barking all

the time.” The board voted to look into updating the ordinance. In another matter, supervisors discussed the pros and cons of keeping a 50-ft. wide right-ofway in the Amber Woods subdivision. Zoning Board Solicitor Jack Haley said keeping the property would give the supervisors the power to reject potential new development on the land adjacent to the right-of-way. The board agreed that keeping the land is in the best interest of the township. “There’s big acreage available for development that borders on Amber Woods,” Sutton said. “The potential is there for development.” Haley, who sat in for township solicitor Peter Savage who was absent due to illness, said keeping the land could pose a potential liability problem. Sutton said
the benefit of having more control over development outweighs the minimal liability risks. Jan Valick, of Trojan Road, tried to initiate a discussion with supervisors about an issue regarding the location of the roadway, which partly crosses his property line. Sutton said he was unable to respond because the matter is now in the hands of Valick and the township’s attorneys.

Couple makes hobby of bird watching their new business By ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER ebaumeister @theabingtonjournal.com
A small sparrow flies across the parking lot of the Dallas Shopping Center, landing on a birdfeeder by the sidewalk. Above, more birds perch on a sign which reads, “Wild Birds Unlimited Nature Shop,” identifying the source of the birdseed. Inside the small shop, customer Rick Fuhrer, of Blakeslee, chats about the feathered friends and other creatures in his own backyard while stocking up on peanuts “to keep the blue jays happy.” While his bill is totaled, Fuhrer tells a story about the blue jays and squirrels fighting for the peanuts he puts out each morning, adding that woodpeckers enjoy
peanuts as well, but prefer them shelled and crushed into smaller pieces. As Fuhrer completes his transaction and heads out the door, more customers enter and begin to browse the shelves and displays. So begins a day at Wild Birds Unlimited. Gary and Joann Kostrobala, new owners of the local franchise, said their favorite part of running the store is talking with the customers and hearing their stories. “Everybody comes in and they’re excited about who was in their backyard this week and what birds they’ve seen,” Joann said. “And there’s a lot of excitement around it.” “We bring people and nature together,” added Gary. “That’s actually our motto.

Gary Kostrobala, owner, Wild Birds Unlimited, offers the following tips to new birdwatchers: “Start off slow and economical.” You don’t need to spend a lot of money to start out. You can buy a basic feeder and small bag of birdseed to try it out. Be patient. “You’re not necessarily going to see a bird at your feeders on day one. Sometime, it takes up to a week or two but once they know the food is there, they’re going to be coming back.” “Get a bird book.” As you begin to see more bird species at your feeder, the next step is to purchase a field guide to help identify them.

STRANGE BUT TRUE By Samantha Weaver • It was former heavyweight champion and social activist Muhammad Ali who made the following observation: “A nation is only as good as its women.” • During World War I, fully one-third of all men in England between the ages of 17 and 35 were killed. • The 20th century saw some profound changes in society, and here is one of the more striking examples: Between 1900 and 1990, the lifespan of the average American man increased from less than 47 years to more than 72 years. • You might be surprised to learn that 20 percent of American families don’t have bank accounts. • It was in the late 1930s when Harry Reeves, a writer for the Donald Duck cartoon, decided that introducing three nephews would open up a lot of story lines. At a loss for names for the characters, Reeves asked Jim Carmichael, who also worked on the cartoons, for suggestions. Carmichael was busy with his own work, but in glancing down at the newspaper on his desk he noticed Thomas E. Dewey and Huey P. Long were both mentioned in headlines, so he suggested Huey and Dewey. A friend named Louie Schmitt stopped in to say hello at that moment, so he added Louie as the third nephew. • Jack Nicholson has been nominated for an Academy Award 12 times (more than any other actor in history) and has won the award twice. He also appeared in two episodes of “The Andy Griffith Show.” • In 1974, a Gallup poll found that the most admired man in America was Henry Kissinger. ••• Thought for the day: “Show me a great actor and I’ll show you a lousy husband; show me a great actress, and you’ve seen the devil.” W.C. Fields

Volleyball community will miss Shields
Trucksville’s John Shields supported the sport at every level. By TOM ROBINSON For the Dallas Post
Long-time volleyball official John Shields was found dead in his Trucksville home on Feb. 8. He was 57 years old.
The Wyoming Valley Chapter of Volleyball Officials will gather soon to prepare for the upcoming high school boys season. It will do so without one of its charter members and its leader of nearly a quarter century following the loss of John Shields, 57, who was found dead in his Trucksville home on Feb. 8. “We have a mandatory meeting
scheduled the 14th of March,” said chapter secretary/treasurer Kathy Goeringer. “I’m not sure what we’re going to do, but somehow we’re going to get through it.” Shields was remembered at a memorial service at Kniffen O’Malley Funeral Home in Wilkes-Barre on Feb. 23. The volleyball community remembers him as a long-time referee, a former King’s College head coach and someone who supported the sport of every level whenever possible. If there was a new volleyball event being started anywhere within driving distance, Shields could be expected to make an appearance, lending
his support in one form or another. “He loved to be around the game,” said North Pocono boys coach Jud Holdredge, a former Tunkhannock and University of Scranton coach and long-time college officiating partner of Shields. “If he got paid or he didn’t, that was fine. He was there for the kids.” Shields became certified as a Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association volleyball official in 1974. He was there when the Wyoming Valley Conference and Wyoming Valley Chapter of Officials were formed a few years later and served as rules interpreter for the chapter
since 1990. “He was the heart and soul of volleyball in northeastern Pennsylvania,” Goeringer said. “His reach was not only here in District 2.” Shields could also be found working matches in the Lackawanna League, throughout the rural stretches of District 4 to the west and at regional colleges. “Believe me, if I were a coach, I would want him to do my game,” Goeringer said. “He was that good.” Shields worked many of the biggest matches, including District 2 tournaments throughout See SHIELDS, Page 10
Three out of four cage teams go on
Three out of four Back Mountain high school basketball teams advanced in the District 2 Class AAA playoffs with firstround victories this week. Both Lake-Lehman teams and the Dallas girls won while the Dallas boys lost. Tanner Englehart scored 20 points to lead the Dallas girls past Meyers, 65-48, Wednesday. Ashley Dunbar added 14 points. Cayle Spencer scored 21 points Tuesday when the LakeLehman girls defeated West Scranton, 54-50. Emily Sutton added 12 points and Bethany Williams 11. Pete Borum took over on the inside, scoring 17 of his 23
points in the second half to bring the Lake-Lehman boys back from a 13-point halftime deficit to a 44-40 victory over West Scranton Tuesday night. Borum also grabbed 10 rebounds for the Black Knights, who trailed by as many as 16 points in the second quarter. Freshman Suk Mathon had16 points, 13 rebounds and five blocked shots in the season finale, but the Dallas boys fell to GAR, 69-31. GAR forced 20 turnovers in the second and third quarters on the way to a 64-16 lead early in the fourth quarter. Dallas finished 3-20. - Tom Robinson

Katy Comitz entered the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 1 girls basketball championship game on Feb. 15 with an essential defensive assignment. The junior guard/forward was also expected to help out with rebounding on what had just become a smaller Dallas lineup. Comitz handled both assignments just fine. And she did so much more. Comitz came off the bench to share scoring honors with Talia Szatkowski, producing a careerhigh 19 points to lead Dallas to a stunning 74-44 rout of Pittston Area, the team that had handed the Lady Mountaineers their only two division losses. “I knew it was probably the most important game of the season,” Comitz said. “In practice, we all worked really hard. We just pulled it all together and, in the end, it came out great.” Dallas coach Kelly Johnson liked what she saw from her team in general and Comitz in particular during the preparation for a rematch after the teams each went 12-2 in the division. “We left practice with a very good feeling,” Johnson said. “It was the kids, it was the coaches. There was just an energy when we left practice. We felt very good. “ … Katy was one of those at practice who you could tell how bad she wanted it.” Johnson turned to Comitz early, then stuck with her.
Just 4:40 into the game, Comitz entered play with the task of slowing down Mia Hopkins, the Monmouth University recruit who had five points to help the Lady Patriots to their 9-5 advantage. By the time Comitz walked off the floor, her night complete, Dallas was up 71-42 with 1:16 left and celebrating a championship. Hopkins, one of only three players to average more than 20 points in the WVC this season, managed just 12, even with the strong start. With Tanner Englehart grabbing 12 rebounds, Szatkowski grabbing 10 and Comitz contributing six, Dallas held a 46-36 lead on the boards. Then, there was the shooting. Comitz made all four of her shots from inside the arc and both of her free throws. She also hit half of her six 3-point attempts while scoring seven more points than her previous season-high. “For the entire season, I’ve been working on my shot,” Comitz said. “My Dad would take me to the gym, even before games. “I had a good feeling we were going to do well and my shot was really on before the game.” Comitz had plenty of help. In fact, the number of options Dallas possessed was part of the difference with the championship on the line. The Lady Mountaineers showed depth and balance at both ends of the floor. The depth helps fuel a relentless full-court press which, in turn, allows Dallas to speed up its offense. “When you steal the ball once,
“I knew it was probably the most important game of the season.”

they start thinking twice about what they’re doing,” Szatkowski said. Nobody provides more of that constant pressure than Szatkowski. Whenever a ball winds up bouncing into open space – whether it be an errant pass or a loose rebound – Szatkowski is a good bet to wind up speeding into the space and winning the race to the ball. She wound up with 10 steals, helping Dallas force 31 turnovers. “She’s a tough competitor,” Johnson said. Szatkowski and Comitz were part of streaks in which Dallas scored at least 10 straight points in each of the last three quarters. Comitz hit a 3-pointer and Szatkowski followed with a threepoint play – off a blind, behindthe-head pass by Ashley Dunbar, who hustled to save the ball from bouncing off the end line – to start a 10-point, second-quarter streak that put Dallas ahead for the first time, 25-18. That burst of 10 points came in a span of just 2:17. Dallas went ahead to stay, 4333, with 14 straight points in just 2:23 in the third quarter. Comitz also started this streak with a 3pointer. She added another basket after Szatkowski made a steal
and took the ball the length of the floor before dishing off. The Lady Mountaineers had just one challenge left. Johnson wanted them to keep up the defensive pressure that had turned the game around while being more patient on offense to take time off the clock and move closer to victory. The Mountaineers were nearly flawless, hitting eight of nine shots in the fourth quarter. While outscoring Pittston Area, 45-11, over the game’s final 15 minutes, Dallas put together one last streak. Szatkowski had a pair of threepoint plays and dished out two assists, one of them to Comitz, to lead a 13-point outburst in just 1:49 for a 63-39 lead with 4:13 left. “Once you get the momentum, it’s hard for us to slow down,” Szatkowski said. Englehart had 12 points, Dunbar had 11 points and six assists, Szatkowski also contributed five assists and Hiscox made four steals in the win. Hopkins had 14 rebounds, six blocked shots and five assists, along with her team-high 12 points for Pittston Area. Both teams advanced into the District 2 Class AAA playoffs where they had home games in the first round this week.

Dallas boys basketball program has bright future
Seventh and eighth-grade cage teams enjoy championship seasons. By TOM ROBINSON For the Dallas Post
The future of the Dallas boys basketball program is looking bright. The current eighth-graders reached a league championship game for the second straight year and the seventh-grade class just wrapped up an undefeated West Side League championship. Both Dallas Middle School teams took part in the Feb. 15 league championship doubleheader at Wyoming Seminary after winning West Division titles. “Doug Miller, the (high school) head coach, is very involved with the teams at the Middle School level,” said eighth-grade head coach Vito DeLuca. “He’s been at a number of our games. His fingerprints are all over what we’ve done at the eighth- and seventh-grade levels. “All the teams work together.” After falling to Crestwood in the championship game last year on the seventh-grade level, this year’s eighth-grade class went 14-1 to win its division and return for another shot. Dallas rallied from a 15-point deficit in the championship game while trying to avenge a 3-point, regular-season loss to GAR. GAR held on for a 43-41 win. Dallas went 9-for-12 from the line in the fourth quarter while cutting into the 34-23 GAR lead. Michael Farrell hit all four of his foul shots while scoring 10 of his 16 points in the quarter. Lee Eckert finished with 10 points and Dalton Gattuso added five. Jason Anderson and Nico DeLuca were the team’s other starters. Paul Zablotney, who missed the playoff game because of an injury, was one of the key reserves along with Ethan Szczecinski, Collin Pertl, Charles Giacometti and Zach Charlton. Cody Coolbaugh, Christo Huntington, Justin Marshall, Connor Phillips, Ryan Phillips, Jim Powell, Jacob Serafin, Jacob Stritziner, Joey Thompson and Andy Zehner complete the roster.

Vito DeLuca Dallas eighth-grade coach
Mark Farrell is assistant coach. “They’re very unselfish,” said coach DeLuca, who has led most of the group that has played together since being part of a travel team in fourth grade. “They probably make one pass too many more often than they don’t pass enough. “They’re all good friends.” The seventh-grade team, coached by Jim Gattuso, went 15-0 in league play then topped Solomon/Plains, 29-20, in the league championship game. Andrew Kovalick, Jay Bittner, Mason Gattuso, Matt Mathers and Brody Strickland scored in the title game. Coach Gattuso credited David Shuster, David Chopyak, Nick Kocher, Alex Charlton and Ben O’Connell for their strong defensive play. Gattuso, Mathers, Kovalick, Shuster and Kocher formed the starting lineup for much of the season. Charlton, Bittner, O’Connell and Chopyak were the top subs on a large roster. “We had 28 kids when we started the first day of practice and we finished with 28 kids,” said coach Gattuso, who was assisted by Ted Kocher and Doug Chapman. Gattuso said much of the team’s success came from teamwork and working on fundamental skills, such as dribbling drills, as part of every practice. The remainder of the team roster included Joshua Holdridge, Christopher Murray, Adam Borton, Joshua Lydon, Joseph Parsons, Nate Maransky, Zachery Bloom, Evan McClain, Steven Finarelli, Matt Dillon, Bradley Adams, Edward Zochowski, Edward Grabowski, Max Dzugan, Joshua Jarden, Malik Kaleta, Michael Huntington and Joshua Wyandt.

their 30-plus year history and nine PIAA state finals between 1985 and 2012. “If there was a game, he was there,” said Holdredge, whose late father Ernie coached Tunkhannock to a state title, two other championship match appearances and a 249-match conference winning streak. “He was always involved, trying to help
and encourage people to play the game. “He loved the sport and he represented the area very well.” Promoting the sport included encouraging enthusiasts to become involved as officials. “Right up until the last moment, he was always trying to get new blood into refereeing,” Holdredge said. “This past year, he got a few young men who had graduated high school to call the college lines and try to introduce them to officiating. We’re going to miss that.” Holdredge regrets that an at-
tempt to get Shields inducted into the Pennsylvania Volleyball Coaches Hall of Fame fizzled two years ago when he had trouble getting Shields to supply a thorough listing of his accomplishments in the sport. Shields graduated from Bethlehem Catholic and King’s College. He worked for Pennsylvania Gas & Water as a payroll officer and was later employed in the banking industry. He is survived by a sister, Gloria Sprankle, of Altoona; and a brother, Edward, of Chattanooga, Tenn.

“We had the gym reserved, insurance purchased and tickets printed,” Rollman said, indicating the church has returned the club’s deposit on the gymnasium and the money it used to pay an insurance premium. Rollman indicated the Night at the Races usually brought in anywhere from $2,500 to $3,000 for the club. “We have enough to get us through the rest of this year,” he said of the club’s treasury. “But we’re now forced to cut back on

some of our budgeted items.” Club treasurer Joe Canfield said cancellation of the Night at the Races will force the scaling back of many of this fiscal year’s budget-approved donations. Don Berlew, a four-year member of the club who co-chairs the Night at the Races with Rollman, said about 85 to 90 percent of the club’s 32 members get involved with the event. “It’s a lot of work,” he said. “But it was the best promotion we had and everybody got involved with it. It brought friends, families and neighbors together for a night of fun and we never had any trouble.” Maggie Giannelli, legislative director in Sen. Lisa Baker’s Har-
risburg office, said the senator is a co-sponsor of Senate Bill 390 which addresses concerns of organizations like the Dallas Lions Club that depend on profits from small games of chance to fund their charitable efforts. House Bill 390 was introduced in the Senate on Feb. 4 and referred to the Senate Finance Committee where it will be discussed for consideration. From there, it will move to the Appropriations Committee, of which Baker is a member. Brenda Zablotsky, legislative secretary in Rep. Karen Boback’s Harrisburg office, said House Bill 290, of which Boback is a co-sponsor and which would allow events like Night at the
Races to be held, passed the House of Representatives last week by a vote of 186-10. That bill will now be sent to the Senate where it will pass through standing committees before being brought before the entire Senate. While those bills make their way through the legislature, members of the Dallas Lions Club continue to discuss possible fundraising efforts to take the place of their annual Night at the Races.

They’re happy they didn’t meet until the right time
When Ashley came down the stairs at the start of the ceremony, she was honored to hear her guests gasp. But Ashley wanted this moment to be special for her and Matt, so she asked the officiant to have the guests remain seated. She wanted to be sure she and Ashley Alibrando and Matt Chiumento, now both 26, grew up Matt could see each other. By KELLIE PATRICK GATES Philadelphia Inquirer
hearing stories about each other. She lived in Mount Ephraim, he in neighboring Haddon Heights, but they had mutual friends, including Ashley’s cousin Beau. “There were probably times when we’d been at the same parties, or in the same group hanging out,” Ashley said. None are memorable because they would not have had much to talk about back then. She was a cheerleader who took the homecoming crown. He was a skateboarder who bleached his long hair blond. “Thank God, we didn’t officially meet back then - we would have probably despised each other,” Ashley said. Matt agrees. After graduating from Camden Catholic High School, Matt went to work as a building materials salesman. After Audubon High School, Ashley went to Rutgers University in New Brunswick to study business marketing. On her 20th birthday, Ashley walked through her apartment door and into a surprise party. Diana, another mutual friend, had invited Matt, who brought his friend Ryan as wingman. Matt “was sitting on my desk chair with the largest bottle of Grey Goose he could find,” Ashley remembered. She recognized him, but he sure looked different. “He had a nice haircut, and he was dressed nice,” she said. They introduced themselves to each other and talked a little that night. The next weekend, Ashley was home for Easter when Diana invited her to a small house party. Matt had asked Diana to bring Ashley. “She’s beautiful, and she just seemed like my personality type - very outgoing, very fun, very personable,” he said. “We all sat around and talked,” Ashley remembered. “When we were going to leave, (Matt) walked me out and asked if we could exchange numbers.”
Part of Matt’s sales territory was in North Jersey, and he called Ashley the next time he was near her college and asked her to lunch at Chili’s. “I thought I was so badass because I had a fake ID and was able to get a margarita,” Ashley said. But her confidence wavered as she heard Matt’s side of the sales calls he had to take during lunch. “He was a little more grown up than I was,” she said. “He was someone who I was aspiring to be, a professional with a career.” Ashley could see why Matt is good at sales. He was easy to talk to and incredibly nice to be around. She didn’t eat much of her salad, so she asked for a to-go box. “I spilled the whole thing,” she said. “She got egg on me, and salad on herself and all over the table,” Matt elaborated. “He just laughed at me. And I laughed at myself,” Ashley said. “I wanted to get to know her more,” Matt said. Things went so well from then on that Matt moved in with Ashley during her last year at Rutgers. The summer after her junior year, she interned with a major pharmaceutical company. They hired her, and after graduation in 2008, the couple moved back to South Jersey. Ashley moved in with her parents, Mark and Cheryl, and Matt with his, Ron and Andi. But not for long. In 2010, they bought a home in Gloucester City. How does forever sound? The couple spent five days at Disney for Ashley’s 25th birthday in April 2011. The night they returned, friend Sean picked them up at the airport. The three walked into the couple’s home to shouts of “Surprise!” from family and friends.
Everyone sang, and then someone brought out the cake, still in its box. Ashley opened the lid. Instead of wishing her a Happy Birthday, the icing script asked, “Will you marry me?” Matt knelt beside her and held out the ring he had had made with her late grandma June’s diamond. June had met Matt before she died, and she loved him - and his dark-eyed Italian good looks. She left Ashley her ring, and Ashley asked her mother to keep it so she wouldn’t know when Matt asked for it. Matt’s and Ashley’s mothers were in on the whole thing, and helped plan the party. “We’re both close to our families, and so I wanted it to be a family thing,” Matt said. It was so them Matt and Ashley held their wedding and reception for 175 at Cescaphe Ballroom. For two Italian Catholics to not marry in the church was “a little taboo,” Ashley said. But they wanted to personalize their ceremony, and as a bonus, it meant less traveling for Matt’s 96-year-old grandfather, Carmen. Ashley wanted to create a feeling of elegance and luxury. Two huge, potted curly willow trees were filled with roses and crystals and lanterns hung everywhere. Guests walked in on a red carpet and were greeted by photographers. Ashley used the photos to make thank-you cards. Instead of a guest book, guests filled out wedding Mad Libs, with sentences like, “When I first heard this couple was getting married, I shouted ___-.” A good number of people filled that line with something akin to “It’s about time!” Ashley’s father, an avid guita-
rist, played “Make You Feel My Love” during the ceremony. To symbolize their union, the couple poured two glasses into one goblet, then both drank from the goblet. Journeys of the Heart officiant Al Vernacchio asked Ashley and Matt to write down the things they love about each other and revealed them during the wedding. Ashley wrote that Matt makes her laugh and keeps her grounded. Matt wrote that Ashley is the most beautiful person he knows, inside and out. Matt loves golf and the couple’s signature drink was an Arnold Palmer spiked with vodka. A friend of Ashley’s got Palmer himself to sign one of their wedding invitations as a gift. When Ashley was born, her father wrote a song for her called “Ashley Rose.” He made a record-
ing of it and they danced to it for and Matt could see each other. As Matt saw the details of his the father-daughter dance. Matt and his mother danced to Carrie wedding day unfold, he was incredibly impressed with all that Underwood’s “Mama’s Song.” Ashley had done. “If she puts that This was unexpected much effort into our marriage, I’m After the couple was pro- going to be the happiest man nounced husband and wife, one alive,” he said. man stood up among the guests and began to sing “Happy Togeth- Discretionary spending A bargain: Their photographer er.” Matt wondered what on earth was happening.

Soon the guests were dancing price that was less than half of other photographers at their seats. Ashley had secretly what hired West Chester’s A Capella charged. The splurge: The dress. Ashley Pops.

Search for wedding venue begins By OLIVIA HUBERT-ALLEN The Baltimore Sun
And so the wedding planning process begins. I told myself I’d wait until after the holidays to really start thinking about it. “I want to savor my engagement.” I replied to anyone who asked about a date and location. And, for a while, that worked. I decorated our tree without a wedding care, ignored dozens of bridal salons as I checked off every last person on my Christmas list and (what probably required the most will power) avoided the wedding section of Pinterest. But when I talked with friends, it felt like I was in an echo chamber of anxiety. “Venues book up so fast!” “You better set a budget!” “How many people do you plan on?”
“Where will the wedding be?” All the questions stressed me out and turned this seemingly-manageable task into a gargantuan one I only know of one way to put my mind at ease when I get stressed (that doesn’t involve a few shots of tequila, anyway), and that is to get to work. So I’ve been spending my free time recently doing extensive online research on venues. The only thing I’ve learned so far? Sam and I are a lot pickier than we like to pretend. On the wish list: Somewhere with a nice ceremony space or in close proximity to the church I’ve been attending. No ballrooms, unless it doesn’t really look like ballroom. Tents are OK, but we’d prefer the reception be indoors so
weather isn’t a factor. (Which I realize is a bit of a contradiction with the “no ballrooms” request.) The place can’t feel like a wedding factory. Wanted: Unexpected, modern or scenic spaces. Not wanted: Anything that feels cliche. Reasonably priced. (Even if you’ve got the cash to spend, should you?) It’s a lot to navigate, especially considering many venues don’t list prices on their website. And to make things even more tricky, there is a wide range of what comes included in the bottom line price. Linens? Chairs? Food? A wedding coordinator? A tent? One place I’m looking at requires you hire a parking attendant, while another spot includes everything but liquor in the base price. My only piece of advice so far: Learn to love Microsoft Excel.
