Daddy’s little girl is Olympic bound

DHS grad Paige Selenski is member of U.S. field hockey team

By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com

Friends and family of 22-yearold Paige Selenski weren’t exactly surprised when the 2008 Dallas High School graduate was recently named to the U.S. Olympic Field Hockey Team.

“Well, yes and no,” said Paige’s father Brian Selenski, of Shavertown. “You know from the coaches what’s going on and who’s doing well but then you’re holding your breath because you never know.”

For Selenski, a University of Virginia senior majoring in En-

glish, making the team was a long time coming.

Brian Selenski said his daughter was first introduced to the sport as a seventh-grader at Dallas Middle School by her late mother Judy’s suggestion to join a field hockey camp.

And the rest is the stuff of Olympians.

Selenski joined the junior high team at Dallas and earned a starting spot on the varsity team by her freshman year.

Former coach Mary Kate Stauffer said it’s evident that Selenski has no one but herself to credit for her success.

“Paige was and continues to

be head and shoulders above the rest of her peers in terms of her skills,” said Stauffer, who coached all four years of Selenski’s high school career. “From an early age, she knew how to harness her talents and definitely worked hard.”

It was during that time when Selenski lost her mother to can-

cer, and Brian Selenski wanted to make sure his daughter continued on her athletic path as long as she enjoyed the game.

Fate is grim for area’s feral cats

Auctioneers Andrew Santora, right, and Calvin Crane take bids on Chicken Run merchandise at the Back Mountain Memorial Library Children’s Auction.

Youngsters enjoy auction experience

By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com

Eli Chapel was waiting for “something good” to pass over the block at the Back Mountain Memorial Library Children’s Auction on July 7.

Prices stayed pretty low, but a multiple-cartridge Super Soaker-type pumping water gun caught Chapel’s eye.

And though he didn’t have much money to work with, Chapel knew his father would help him if he really needed the extra cash.

Despite having only $18 to spend, Chapel raised his hand high until the gun’s price soared past $26. That’s when he reluctantly gave up the bidding war.

“I like it because it could hold a lot of water,” said Chapel, 10, of Dallas. “But (the price is) too high.”

Attending the children’s auction is a tradition in the Chapel family – the clan has been flocking to the block for years. “(Eli’s father, Mark) has been coming to the auction since he was old enough to walk,” said Mark’s mother, Mary Chapel.

Mark Chapel wants his son to be part of the event he’s known since he was a little boy.

“It’s given him a chance to live the auction experience,” he said.

The children’s auction is chaired by Ron and Judy Santora. Ron is Scout Leader of Boy Scout Troop 281 of Dallas, and the Scouts help run the event during its four-hour time slot.

year.

“Our son Andrew was in sixth grade when we first got involved,” said Judy. “He loves it – the auctioneers have been so welcoming.”

The Santoras store the thousands of items up for bid, from playground equipment to dolls to brand-new bikes, at their home before the auction.

Judy said most of the items get sold somehow, whether it’s at the auction or in tents during the evening activities.

“Some goes into our attic for next year, but we hope that doesn’t happen,” she said, laughing.

Two plastic bags filled with Bratz dolls won’t be placed in the Santoras’ attic this year.

The auction spoils sat in the lap of 6-year-old Sarah Burd, of Centermoreland, after her mother easily won the dolls by offering the only bid.

“I just started, and they had four items and I bid on three,” said Kathy Burd.

She said the prices are too good not to bid on the items for Sarah and 8-year-old Steven. They sat in the front row before the block as Mom stood, waving her hand for My Little Pony memorabilia.

“I do it for my kids,” she said.

The Back Mountain may be a small part of a bigger problem when it comes to animal overpopulation, but animal welfare experts say everyone can help when it comes to preventing the grim fate that awaits these animals.

Officials said the most pressing issue is controlling the feral cat population, which can be hindered by ensuring one’s pets are spayed and neutered.

In 2011, all stray cats that came through the Luzerne County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA)’s doors from Jackson, Lake, Lehman and Ross townships were euthanized.

Those 30 cats, most likely feral, were put down because they were ill or a potential danger to people.

Luzerne County SPCA Director of Development Peggy Nork said two adult feral cats, descendants of domesticated cats that have returned to the wild, can produce about 12,000 offspring in five years.

“That being said, it doesn’t take long for that neighbor’s house, who’s feeding two stray cats, to become the nuisance house in the neighborhood where everybody is upset with the amount of cats that are there, the smell of feces or urine.

It happens very quickly,” she said.

Nork said those wild animals are more prone to illness and may be too aggressive to be adopted, though the SPCA holds an animal for 48 hours before deciding whether to put it up for adoption or have it euthanized.

Because the animals are typically not spayed or neutered, one stray cat can quickly turn into a pack of wild animals on one’s doorstep.

“A lot of these municipalities don’t have animal enforcement officers, and because they don’t, we are receiving those animals from just the residents in the community, therefore (municipalities) don’t know how many animals we’re bringing in from their community,” said Nork.

Nork is trying to meet with municipal leaders to discuss these numbers and promote ways to educate communities about the costs of taking in animals as well as ways to prevent overpopulation. “(Municipal leaders) need to educate their community not to feed stray cats,” she said. “If a stray cat is in your neighborhood, the best thing for you to do for that cat is bring it to the SPCA. If it’s a social cat or can be

socialized, we’ll get it adopted.”

She said residents in communities may want to feed stray cats in an attempt to help, but that action usually does more harm than good.

“The alternative of it living and fending for itself is not good,” Nork said of wild animals. “(The cat) will eventually get diseases and will affect any other cat that’s let out so if you have an indoor cat that you let out occasionally, your cat is susceptible to getting these diseases that cats transmit.”

Kingston Township Manager Kathleen Sebastian said stray cats are always a problem in the township, and education is the only way to solve it.

“I did hours of research to see if we could draw up an ordinance to control this, but there are no state or federal regulations on feral cats,” said Sebastian.

Under an animal ordinance in Kingston Township, property owners are limited to five dogs in one household. Sebastian said feral cats are not included because the township cannot prove ownership of those animals.

“People just say, ‘That’s not my cat,’” she said.

Sebastian said one homeown-

er on Spring Street in Shavertown had nearly 60 cats due to feeding strays.

“We try to tell residents that it makes their lives worse,” Sebastian said of the cats. “When a resident feeds them, they can’t hunt for themselves.”

Taking in feral cats can even be a problem for no-kill animal shelters like Blue Chip Farms Animal Refuge in Orange.

Marge Bart, founder of the nonprofit shelter, said the refuge is overrun by stray cats, but more kittens keep showing up on its doorstep.

Bart said feral cats are a problem because the 150 “civil, friendly” cats being housed at the shelter can’t even find homes.

“First, we take them to the vet to see if they have feline leukemia or any other illness,” said Bart. “If they do, we destroy them because they can’t recover from that.”

All animals that pass through Blue Chip’s doors are spayed and neutered, no matter what, said Bart.

If the cat is healthy, shelter volunteers will attempt to rehabilitate the animal, but feral cats are usually given to farmers to

keep rodent populations in check.

“That’s all we can do, really,” she said.

The most important lesson animal welfare experts want to stress is ensuring all pets are spayed and neutered. Not only does the action help control the overpopulation of animals in a community but, according to Nork, it keeps animals healthier longer.

“It makes them more of a content animal,” she said. “If you have a male or female cat at home and it’s not spayed or neutered, the male cat will start to spray in the home, the female cat will go into heat, attracting other cats in the neighborhood. It’s just healthier for them altogether.”

The Luzerne County SPCA offers a spay and neuter assist program for low-income families.

Nork said the numbers of strays has declined since the beginning of this and other similar programs.

“Cat numbers are definitely coming down in our community but not nearly as much as they should,” she said.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL AUCTION

Heat and some rain couldn’t dampen spirit of 66th annual event

A

heat wave and occasional downpours couldn’t stop the Back Mountain Memorial Library Auction from sprawling on library grounds July 5-8.

Plenty of food vendors and the auction’s iconic tent sales weathered the less than ideal climate to make the auction a success once again.

Supers approve partial payment for bridge project

By SARAH HITE shite@mydallaspost.com

The East Center Street Bridge replacement was a topic of discussion and supervisors approved a partial payment for the project at a meeting Wednesday evening.

Things can get mighty hilarious on ‘Avenue Q’

Eddie Day & The Original Starfires are best remembered for their dances in the 60s and 70s at Hanson’s Amusement Park at Harveys Lake in the summer and the Starfire Ballroom on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre during the winter. From left, first row, are vocalists State Representative Eddie Day Pashinski and Charles McCuen. Second row, John B. Hall, lead guitar; Steve Aqualina, pianist; Robert Gardner, sax; Richard Gumbravich, drums; and Rev. Roger E. Griffith, bassist and vocalist.

Starfires open season at HL Fire Co. dance Eddie Day & The “Original Starfires” has posted its schedule of upcoming events.

Public appearances begin with the annual Harveys Lake Fire Company’s dance at the Irem Country Club Pavilion from 8 p.m. to midnight on July 28. Donation is $25 per ticket which includes beer, hot dogs and pizza.

Tickets are available at The Ranch Wagon in Shavertown, Gallery of Sound Music Stores and Hoss Garden Hut in Dallas.

This is the seventh year the

fire company has contracted with the “Starfires” who also share the stage with “Tom Slick & The Greaseslappers.”

A dance will be held at the Irem Country Club Pavilion from 8 p.m. to midnight on August 18 and will feature a reunion with the “Starfires” and “Joe Nardone and the Allstars” sharing the stage. This will be the first such reunion dance of these two groups in history.

A donation of $25 will include free beer and pizza.

The Music Box Repertory Company announces its next production, “Avenue Q,” Broadway’s smash-hit, 2004 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book.

This hilarious show tells the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who moves to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. The only apartment he can afford is way out on Avenue Q, where everyone’s looking for the same things: a decent job, a stable relationship and a “purpose.”

Eventually, Princeton learns to embrace the ups and downs of city life and realizes that “the real world” isn’t so bad, after all!

The show features a cast of people and puppets who tell the story in a smart, risque and downright entertaining way.

Jonathan Wallace, of Dallas, will play the leading role of Rod. A graduate of Dallas High School, he is currently attending DeSales University where he is studying theatre.

Wallace has performed in numerous productions at the Music Box, including “Cabaret,” “Fid-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reader shares gas drilling boom concerns Dear Editor: The Wyoming Valley has been fortunate so far in fending off any possible injuries from the gas drilling boom. We faced possible loss of our Valley water supply by gas drilling next to our reservoirs. This possibility of chemicals used in gas drilling, causing forever loss of drinking water, made some see this industry as a problem and stood up for us.

Then the city of Wilkes Barre was asked to allow hundreds of trucks each day to come through towns carrying chemically-laced water. A few more Valley residents were added to the list of people seeing this industry as a problem. The problem they were finally realizing was this industry can change your daily and future life from what we want to what they need. They need us to alter our lives to conduct their business.

Now we are faced with another possible sacrifice so the gas industry can conduct its business – a compressor station on a mountain top in West Wyoming overlooking our Valley to the east and our Frances Slocum State Park to the west. This will forever put known toxic contaminates into our air that will settle into our Valley.

This compressor station consists of three huge engines to produce pressure to push the gas through the 24-inch main pipe.

These run, constantly spewing known cancer-causing and other toxic anti-good health exhaust in-

to the air.

The specs for these three engines are at a level, gas company says ok, questionably over acceptable limits of pollution. Best part is - every compressor station gets increased to maybe nine engines eventually. Uh oh! Let’s see, we take boarder line pollution x 3 = __.

Ah gee, we don’t need all these people living in our Valley; we can spare some lives. This is the first compressor station with maybe nine engines of who knows how many more scattered around our Valley.

Wait for the plus – there are other polluting things at these sites. Great! First our water and now our air.

Remember, please, that our reservoirs are still at risk when all other gas in Pa. is gone except the gas near our water supplies. Our shale gas is an industrial business. I’ve been trying not to use the word “profit” but I must. It’s a business!

It’s time once again to get off the couch and stand up and say, “I am not a necessary profit sacrifice.”

Interjection: We must say thank you for our new “Health Care Act” just passed by our Supreme Court. Why ? Pre-existing conditions are now covered. We will eventually have one, unless we stand up for our Valley.

Steve Simko Chairman Concerned Harding area residents

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel • On July 22, 1598, William Shakespeare’s play “The Merchant of Venice” is entered on the Stationers’ Register. By decree of Queen Elizabeth, the Stationers’ Register licensed printed works, giving the Crown tight control over all published material.

• On July 19, 1799, during Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign, a French soldier discovers a black basalt slab inscribed with ancient writing near the town of Rosetta, about 35 miles north of Alexandria. Called the Rosetta Stone, the artifact held the key to solving the riddle of hieroglyphics, a written language that had been "dead" for nearly 2,000 years.

• On July 18, 1925, Volume One of Adolf Hitler’s philosophical autobiography, “Mein Kampf,” is published. It was a blueprint of his agenda for a Third Reich and a clear exposition of the nightmare that will envelope Europe from 1939 to 1945.

• On July 20, 1969, at 10:56 p.m. EDT, American astronaut Neil Armstrong, 240,000 miles from Earth, speaks these words to more than a billion people listening at home: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Stepping off the lunar landing module Eagle, Armstrong became the first human to walk on the surface of the moon.

LITTLE LEAGUE ACTION

Back Mountain American Stars dominate foes Victory moves 9-10 year old All-Stars to within one game of state Little League tournament.

A 14-3 victory over Dunmore in a Section 5 9-10 baseball winners bracket finals game punched Back Mountain American’s ticket to a 5:30 p.m. Friday night game at home against an elimination bracket finalist and one win away from heading to the state tournament.

Todd Phillips got American off on the right track, starting the game with a triple. John Connolly followed with an RBI single and scored when Will McCrum followed with an RBI triple. A wild pitch and two errors gave American a 5-0 lead before Dunmore took its first swing.

The lead increased to 8-0 in the second as McCrum blasted a tworun homer well over the center field fence and Brett Ostroski had an RBI single.

Connolly added a run-scoring double in the third to make it 9-0.

Dunmore didn’t help itself in the field, making three errors in the first two innings and another in American’s five-run fifth that shortened the game by an inning.

American also received solid pitching from starter Ostroski and reliever Justin Finarelli and McCrum. The trio allowed five hits and just two earned runs.

BMT American 14 Wyo./W. Wyo. 0 J.D. Barrett has experienced major league no-hitters when he watched Kevin Millwood and Roy Halladay enter their names into the record books.

Barrett entered his own name in a record book on June 6 when he tossed a no-hitter against Wyoming/West Wyoming to lead his Back Mountain American team to a 14-0 victory and the district 31 Little League Major baseball title.

Wyoming/West Wyoming had scored six or more runs in five of its seven tournament games. But, by mixing in a solid change-up, Barrett was able to fan five, including three looking.

American led 3-0 after one inning, even sacrificing an out for a run when David Schuster got in a rundown between first and second to allow Christian Roberts to score from third.

American tacked on seven AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER more in the second. Barrett had a two-run double while David Members of the Back Mountain American team celebrate their District 31 Major Little League victory over Wyoming/West Wyoming.

Schuster and Devin Robbins each singled in runs as American sent 11 batters to the plate.

AUCTION Continued from Page 1

ship, said the children’s auction gives youngsters a chance to act like grownups during the iconic Back Mountain event.

“It gives children the opportunity to bid because they see their parents doing it,” she said. “I know my son follows by example. He’s away right now, so I’m his surrogate bidder.”

Jackie Dwinchick, of Moosic, got into a heated bidding war for a pink bike with training wheels as the temperature rose on the hot and hazy morning.

Dwinchick, whose father-inlaw Joe is one of the many longtime auction volunteers, lasted until the price of the bike rose to $50, when she graciously bowed out of the duel.

Her niece, 4-year-old Emma Singleton, didn’t seem to mind.

“It was too much,” she said.

“But a typical bike like that would be about $75 in stores.”

Dwinchick went to the auction every night looking for deals and enjoying the atmosphere and thinks the children’s auction gives youngsters a chance to experience the event on a different level.

Even at the young age of 4, Singleton knew what she wanted.

“Emma’s looking for climbing toys and Carebears,” said Dwinchick.

Seven-year-old Kira Pomrinke, of Dallas, walked around with her grandmother, Glenda, scoping out the good buys during the event.

“I’ll bid on anything,” said Kira. “I like stuffed animals and dolls.”

Though Kira was doing the bidding, grandmother and her pocketbook were on hand to offer guidance and greenbacks.

“I’d tell her, ‘Don’t want it too much,’” said Glenda, an auction veteran.

OLYMPIC Continued from Page 1

got sick she would still go to see the games, and even when she wasn’t feeling well she would watch the games from the car.”

Brian believes that kind of support is what keeps the field hockey star so motivated.

“I think part of her playing is for my wife,” he said. “I think it gets her adrenaline up, especially when she gets into a slump during a game.”

Selenski pressed on and continued to excel throughout her career at Dallas. Stauffer, who played field hockey at a New Jersey high school that produced Olympians, said Selenski was a “quiet leader” whose passion and dedication for the sport were always apparent.

“The girl knew what she was doing,” said Stauffer. “She had a lot of drive, and there were many things that were God-given to her in terms of skill and desire to be successful. She was always extremely passionate about competing. Hockey was her thing.”

Robyn Jones, a Dallas High School guidance counselor and former field hockey coach, plans to attend the 2012 Olympic Games in London this month to watch Selenski perform.

“I’m especially excited about the game on July 31, when the United States team faces Argentina,” she said. “It’s going to be a war.”

Jones believes it’s the support that Selenski received throughout the years that contributes to the field hockey player’s success.

“Paige’s success as a student athlete can be attributed to, first and foremost, her tenacious work ethic, second, her God-given talent and third, her innate

intelligence,” said Jones. “And very importantly, her family upbringing. Judy was very invested in her daughter, academically and athletically, and Dad has done a wonderful job since Judy passed away of continuing to parent her. Her mom and dad are huge contributors to her success.”

Brian Selenski said response from the community has been overwhelming.

“When she was first named to the team, the phone never stopped ringing,” he said. “Even Robyn Jones and the principal at Dallas said the phones at the school were ringing off the hook when it was announced.”

Selenski is the middle child – she’s big sister to 18-year-old Greg and younger sibling to 25year-old Brad. Her father said no one else in the family has forayed into sports as extensively as his daughter.

“The boys played Little League and soccer, and Greg is now recreationally into golf,” said Brian Selenski.

Greg Selenski said it’s been an interesting ride watching his sister rise through the field hockey ranks.

“It’s been an experience,” he said. “Our vacations revolved around it for a while.”

But as the young woman prepares to take on international teams in London, Brian Selenski is sure the games won’t be his daughter’s last.

“I don’t think this is going to be the end,” he said. “I think she’s going to stay on for the World Cup.” Until then, Brian Selenski and the rest of the family are enjoying Paige’s Olympic success.

“Sometimes I think it’s a dream,” he said. “I mean, what are the chances that your son or daughter is going to play at the Olympics?”

Dr. Leonard Medura notes 40th anniversary The staff of Watkins & Medura Family and Cosmetic Dental Center recently celebrated the 40th year of Dr. Leonard Medura Sr.’s private practice at a luncheon at Leggio’s Ristorante in Dallas.

Medura said the actual date of his foray into private dentistry was July 5, 1972 – shortly after the flood caused by Hurricane Agnes caused the evacuation of the Wyoming Valley.

“It was a crazy era in which we started,” said Medura, who practiced dentistry in the U.S. Navy for three years before joining Dr. Scott Watkins. “A lot of dentists lost their practices, and we got busy from the get-go. People that were displaced and needed a dentist, we were there for them.”

The practice got its start in Shavertown and eventually moved to Dallas. Medura, 69, said it’s not the teeth, but the people that keep him coming to work each day.

“I’m not working full-time hours, but I don’t think I could just retire,” he said.

Staff member Mary Majewski has worked for Medura since 1980 and enjoys seeing the generations of families coming back to the office and the atmosphere of the company.
