H
undreds of delicate mon-
arch butterflies will take
flight within the next few
months and begin their great
migration south to Mexico for
winter. Because the live just
two to three weeks, along the
journey they must stop to lay
eggs on milkweed plants to
pave the way for a new gener-
ation. Most wont make it. De-
forestation in Mexico is de-
stroying butterfly habitat and
without milkweed, the monarch
will fly until they either find it
or die.
Kevin and Sherri Kukuchka,
owners of the Butterfly House
located at 4 Village Lane
Tunkhannock at Creekside
Gardens, opened an outdoor
habitat to the public July 6. It
will remain open until Sept. 15.

SOUTH ABINGTON TWP.
South Abington Township
approved at the supervisor
meeting July 23 an $185,000
bid from Popple Construction,
Inc. to pave five roads in need
of repairs.
Township Manager David
ONeill said the township
received eight bids for the
project when it opened bid-
ding July 20, ranging in cost
from $185,000 to $236,000.
ONeill said upon reviewing
the bids, the township recom-
mended accepting the low bid
from Popple Construction.
Roads that will be repaved
from the bid included all of
Old South Abington Road, as
well as portions of Montrose
Avenue, Gravel Pond Road,
Snyder Street and White
Birch Road. ONeill said con-
struction will begin in approx-
imately six weeks.
He said the townships re-
maining budget for paving
funds is $160,000. To cover
the additional costs, ONeill
said the township will tap into
some of its capital reserves
fund. The capital reserve
holds $125,000 and was not
budgeted for use in any pro-
jects this year.
ONeill said the roads de-
serve to be resurfaced, as they
have not been redone in more
than 10 years and the town-
ship receives constant com-
plaints about potholes in those
roads.
We went this far and these
are roads that have been held
off for several years, ONeill
said.
Later at the meeting, a mo-
tion to guarantee the Abington
Regional Wastewater Author-
ity bond issue, subject to final
review, was unanimously ap-
proved.
ONeill said the Abington
Regional Wastewater Author-
ity, which is in the process of
a $35 million project, asked
the township for the guarantee
because the interest on the
bond issue will be lower with
the township guarantee.
Currently there is no resolu-
tion for the bond issue and it
will be subject to a final re-
view by the supervisors.
ONeill said that this guaran-
tee is something that always
has been done in the past.
It will cost our residents
less in the long run, ONeill
said. We [the township] are
Township
to repair
5 roads
Paving on Old South Abington
Road, Montrose Avenue,
Gravel Pond Road, Snyder
Street and White Birch Road
should begin in six weeks.

Good Ol Americana,
is how Martin Reynolds
described the upcoming
Trail Rotary Club Favorite
Pie Baking Contest/Auc-
tion.
For those famous for flaky
crust or perfect meringue,
Reynolds and his fellow
Rotarians in Factoryville
invite them to show off a
favorite home-baked pie
recipe Aug. 11, 6 to 8 p.m.
The contest and auction will
be held in conjunction with
the annual Christy Mathew-
son Days celebration in
Factoryville. Mathewson, a
native of the town, was an
American Major League
baseball player elected into
the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Reynolds, the club vice
president, got the ball roll-
ing three years ago as a
means to raise money for
the Rotarys annual scholar-
ship program awarded each
year to a student from Lack-
awanna Trail High School
who shows a high degree of
leadership and community
involvement. Three years
ago we wanted to try some-
thing new and figured doing
something food related was
always a safe bet for a fun-
draiser, said Reynolds.
The previous two years
weve managed to raise
about $200 for our annual
scholarship fund

records found in this database
vary in the level of detail, and
records and images will be
updated and added on a contin-
ued basis. As Steamtown NHS

Magistrate Judge Thomas M.
Blewitt presided over the cere-
mony.
Mihai Florian Neagu was
one newly naturalized citizen
selected to speak at the cere-
mony.
Afewdays afterward, he
shared his thoughts on becom-
ing a citizen. The most excit-
ing was probably the ceremo-
ny. It took us a bit over five
years, as we were permanent
residents, and we had to wait at
least five years until we could
apply for citizenship, he said.
Mihai Florian Neagu ex-
plained one reason he and his
wife decided to move to the
United States. We could
actually come and see howit is
without having to jump
through any hoops to get the
visas. It isnt easy to get resi-
dent visas and we just got
them.
In attendance at the ceremo-
ny were the Scranton chapter
of the Daughters of the Amer-
ican Revolution, the League of
Women Voters of Lackawanna
County and the color guard of
the Peckvile VFWPAShopa-
Davey Post 6082.
Newly-minted citizens were
given American flags and
provided the opportunity to
register to vote.

The 20th Annual Our
Lady of the Snows Coun-
try Bazaar will be a mile-
stone for the parish and its
volunteers.
The event will take
place August 2 and 3,
from 6 to 11 p.m. and
August 4, from 5 to 11
p.m. on the grounds of the
Church of St. Benedict,
Newton Ransom Blvd.
Joann Carr and her
family have been volun-
teering at the bazaar since
its inception in 1993.
(Its) The sense of
family that you get from
people you meet for the
first time and who stay
together throughout all
the years, Carr said of
what she enjoys most.
Its three days of hav-
ing fun with people who
are like your family and
Im blessed to have
worked with my parents,
who sat on the churchs
Cross Committee and
started the food tent as a
way to pay for the cross in
the church. The food tent
was the beginning of the
bazaar and it has grown
over the years.
Carrs mother Anna
Mae Pritchyk, late father
Joe Pritchyk, sister- in-
law Margo Pritchyk and
two nephews Joey and
Jake Pritchyk have also
volunteered at the tent
over the years.
Its a big milestone
year, co-chair Trip Crow-
ley said.
According to Crowley,
live entertainment will
take the stage each night.
The Wannabees will per-
form on Thursday, The
Poets on Friday and Pic-
ture Perfect Saturday.
There will also be musical
performances inside Caf
Mocha all three nights.
In addition, there will
be games for children.
A wide variety of food
will be available, includ-
ing roast beef, hot wings,
hamburgers, hot dogs,
clams and other seafood,
fried dough, haluski, pas-
ta, Montdale ice cream
and Down Home pud-
ding.
Crowley said he enjoys
the bazaar because of the
family-like atmosphere.
Its a nice opportunity
to bring parishioners,
family and friends togeth-
er, Crowley said. Its a
night out and its good to
see people you havent
seen in a while and catch
up with old friends.
Crowley has been vol-
unteering at the bazaar for
about 12 years and enjoys
giving his time for the
benefit of the community.
Its a nice feeling to
pitch in and help raise
money for the church, he
said. It has really be-
come dependent on this
money in recent years to
help fund the youth group
and other organizations.
The bazaar is an excellent
way to raise money.

People will have the
opportunity to see hun-
dreds of Pa. native butter-
flies and specifically the
full life cycle of the mon-
arch butterfly which in-
cludes the eggs, caterpillars
and chrysalises. Less than
two percent of monarch
butterflies will survive
through eggs to adulthood.
Our habitat seeks to in-
crease their chances by
keeping spiders and other
insects in check, Kevin
Kukuchka said.
According to Julie Ona-
back, an employee at
Creekside Gardens, mon-
arch butterflies exit their
chrysalises at full size with
a wing span of 3 inches. To
eat, they use a proboscis, or
an elongated appendage
from the head, with tubular
mouthparts. The normally
subsist on nectar from
flowers.
But they also will eat any
type of mushy fruit such as
bananas, nectarines and
watermelon. This does not
mean butterflies will invade
a backyard picnic, but be-
cause Creekside Gardens is
an enclosed area with limit-
ed nectar from flowers,
butterflies are attracted to
the fruit there.
Also visitors at Creekside
Gardens are invited to feed
butterflies using a cotton
swab dipped in red Gat-
orade. Just like humming-
birds, the butterflies are
attracted to the color red
and the sweetness of the
drink, said Onaback.
Entrance into the flight
house is $3 for adults and
$1 for children. Groups are
welcome but are encour-
aged to call beforehand.
Every other Thursday at
5:30 p.m., Creekside Gar-
dens hosts a Little Sprouts
program for children be-
tween the ages of 5 and 12
and will continue through-
out the year. Those younger
than 5 are welcome to at-
tend as long as they are
accompanied by a parent.
Children plant flowers and
vegetables, learn about the
life cycle of a butterfly and
participate in arts and
crafts.
The habitat will host var-
ious events until Septem-
ber. Owners Kevin and
Sherri Kukuchka will host
a mini butterfly release day
Sept. 13 for the Little
Sprouts and parents are
invited to attend for a bar-
becue. The final release
day is Sept. 15 where they
will set free approximately
700 butterflies. The day
prior the Butterfly House
will be closed to prepare.
Kevin Kukuchka encour-
aged people to get involved
in preserving the butterfly
habitats. According to him,
milkweed and nectar sourc-
es are declining not only
because of deforestation in
Mexico but because of the
development and the wide-
spread use of herbicides in
croplands, pastures and
road sides.
For those interested in
helping preserve the habitat
for butterflies, he suggested
planting either native or
tropical milkweed. Some
may prefer the tropical
plant because it grows an-
nually.
The habitat is run
through a program offered
by University of Kansas.
Anyone can get involved,
including businesses and
schools. People can set one
up in the backyard. For

ating a habitat visit: http://

The NEPA Networkers
met July 19 for their quar-
terly mixer at Nichols Vil-
lage Hotel and Spa in
South Abington Township.
The group focuses on busi-
ness recruitment through
social networking, specifi-
cally on LinkedIn, for the
area of NEPA. There are
currently more than 2,200
members online; some are
business owners recruiting
or looking to promote
themselves. Other mem-
bers are job seekers look-
ing to make connections
and meet people.
Matt Pirolli from CCY
Henklemen said, If youre
looking to get out there and
make an impression, you
have to go out and do it.
And opportunities like this
one will be beneficial.
Mixers are held in Lu-
zerne and Lackawanna
counties. Approximately
70 people attended the July
19 mixer, including people
representing companies
from almost every career
choice available.
Bob Courtright, board
member, said the group has
been a success overall
because of the energy that
the people bring to the
event. Companies can
advertise for free and peo-
ple are recommended to
come to the events to find a
job.
If youre interested in
keeping the youth in NE-
PA, attend and bring high
school graduates so they
can be aware of the oppor-
tunities in the area, said
Tina Dolgash, board mem-
ber and CEO of Peoples

Mark Volk was inaugu-
rated as the Lackawanna
College eighth president
at 1p.m. July 27.
Volkbegan his tenure in
2004 at Lackawanna
College as Executive
Assistant to the President
where he assisted the
current President in the
structural reorganization.
Volk was promoted to Vice
President for Planning and
Operations. In April of
2007, he was promoted
to Executive Vice Presi-
dent . He held the position
of Acting President of
Lackawanna College from
July Nov. 2010.
Mark and his wife, the
former Lynn Favini of
Scranton, reside in Benton
Township. They have one
son, Mark Jr., who resides
in Lorton, Va. and are the
proud grandparents of his
son, Alexander.
Volk inaugurated at Lackawanna
campus church of Toccoa
Falls College for two and a
half years.
Then, he was a senior pastor
at Gainesville Alliance
Church in Gainesville, Ga. in
1994 for two years.
In 1996, he and his wife
moved back to Pennsylvania,
where he served as senior
pastor at Twin Valley Alliance
Church in Williamstown until
2010.
The Morgantinis live in
Mountaintop and commute to
Country Alliance Church.
They have parents of three
and grandparents of five.
Were happy to be in the
Newton area, said Pastor
Morgantini. Were really glad
to share the Good News with
people and to build the body
of Christ through our church.
Country Alliance Church is a
caring and loving church,
where we all can come, wor-
ship and find fellowship.
On behalf of the congrega-
tion, were thrilled to have
Pastor Don and Rita here,
said Degilio.
Pastor Morgantini is cur-
rently conducting a Sermon
Series, which began July 29
and will run for seven weeks.
The Sermon Series reviews
the Seven Core Values of the
Alliance and how they moti-
vate each Alliance church to
impact its area and regionfor
Christ.
On July 29, Pastor Morgan-
tini talked about the first core
value, which is Lost People
Matter to God. On August5,
he will discuss Prayer is the
Primary Work of Gods Peo-
ple. He will continue to ad-
dress one core value per week
until week seven which he
will present at a Sunday Wor-
ship Service at Country Alli-
ance Church at 10 a.m.
Its our church DNA in the
Christian Missionary Alli-
ance, Pastor Morgantini said
about the core values. Be-
cause of those core values,
thats why we do mission and
outreach and evangelism.
The Morgantinis and the
congregation look forward to
meeting lots of folks and
making lots of friends.
I thank the Lord for the
abilities that hes given me to
minister the church, said Rita
Morgantini. His faithfulness
to me has been my strength.
When God has worked in
our lives, he opens doors in
places we never imagined,
she added about not expecting
a call from Country Alliance
Church to give Pastor Mor-
gantini a phone interview.
On August 26, Pastor Mor-
gantini will celebrate 30 years
in accepting a new life in
Christ.
Following the Lord for 30
years, we never missed a
thing, never missed a meal.
Our kids all went through
school and education and
good jobs and are healthy.
God is faithful, said Pastor
Morgantini.
I want everyone to come
and help me celebrate.
NEWTON TWP - After
years of preaching many miles
from Northeast Pa., Pastor
Don Morgantini and his wife
Rita are back in town to serve
the Lord at Country Alliance
Church.
Originally from West Pitt-
ston, Pastor Morgantini minis-
tered in Georgia and south-
eastern Pa. before becoming
Country Alliance Church new
pastor Nov. 1, 2011. Prior to
these events, he has been a
friend of Country Alliance
Church since its inception in
1983.
When the church was be-
ing formed, several men from
some of the other Alliance
churches canvassed the area in
Newton Ransom, and
knocked on the doors. Pastor
Don was one of those men,
said Country Alliance Church
member, Joyce Degilio, who
is also a longtime friend of
Pastor Morgantini and his
wife. I knew Rita from Alli-
ance Women. She attended at
that time the West Pittston
Alliance Church, and weve
seen each other at different
functions. So, it was like
homecoming.
The Morgantinis started
living for God when they
owned a Christian Bookstore
located in Wyoming, Pa.
We met a lot of nice folks
there, and we were able to
minister there to them, said
Pastor Morgantini. We
prayed with them and coun-
seled with them. After a few
years in the bookstore, we felt
the Lords leading that we
should get into full-time min-
istry. So, we sold the book-
store, and moved to Toccoa,
Ga. in 1989.
In 1990, Pastor Morgantini
became assistant pastor at the

and how to play the washtub
bass, washboards, spoons,
whistles, saws and jug. Stu-
dents even created instruments
of their own invention includ-
ing the cans, the jello-mold
and more. Students also
learned about conventional
instruments including the gui-
tar, banjo, clarinet and sax-
ophone. Plus they learned how
to work together and play as a
band. There were 19 kids in
the childrens class and seven
students in the adult class. Plus
Sadie Green Sales Jugband
took their show on the road to
the Tunkhannock Manor and
United Rehabilitation Services
in Tunkhannock. It was so
much fun to see all ages expe-
rience and enjoy jugband mu-
sic and you couldnt help but
be happy listening to it. While
we were at the Tunkhannock
Manor, one of the residents
brought out her accordion to
play for the band after the
show. It was a beautiful in-
strument and I was so glad that
she shared it with us.
Speaking of music, the Die-
trichs annual Gathering of
Singers and Songwriters is just
around the corner. I can hard-
ly believe this is our 11th year
hosting the event. On Sunday,
Aug.12 at 3 p.m., we invite you
to join us for an afternoon of
live folk music. Taking the
stage for this years concert
will be Jason O, Kris Kehr,
Tom Flannery and concert
organizer, performer and em-
cee Lorne Clarke. Lorne
always brings in the greatest
folk talent this area has to
offer. Not only do I enjoy the
music at the Gathering con-
cert, but I also am delighted
by the stories the artists share
and the fun, good-humored
banter between them. Admis-
sion to the concert is by dona-
tion. All are welcome to at-
tend. Tickets can be reserved
by calling 570.996.1500 or at
the door while they last.
Another event that is coming
up is the Dietrichs bus trip to

Go With the Flow campers are des-
tined to revel in the last weeks of sum-
mer vacation, said teacher Rebecca
Kameroski, a Newton Township resi-
dent.
Go with the Flow is a two-week
camp for kids who are 10 -14 years of
age, where they explore the river and
the creative process through dance,
poetry and photography. The students
go on two field trips: one on the Lack-
awanna River, where they get to collect
critters and photograph this experience
as they learn about the history of the
Lackawanna Valley. The students will
also take a trip to Keystone College
(LaPlume) where they will hike and
develop their photography in a dark-
room, said Kameroski.
Students will work with historian
and environmentalist Bernie McGurl
in the river in Archbald to learn
about their Anthracite heritage and
the health of the river.
After the students photograph their
experiences at the river with Ivana
Pavelka, they will later go back to the
studio to create poetry with Jack
McGuigan. Then Miss Helen Gaus
and myself will help them put their
poetry into dance. Go With the Flow
is not only about the river, but about
the flow of the creative process, said
Rebecca Kameroski, teacher and
facilitator at the camp.
The two week experience caps with
a performance for friends and family
of the students River dance and po-
etry reading and a display of their
photography projects.
To register for the two week camp,
held Aug. 6 through 17, call
570.343.0115 or visit www.scran-

scholarships are available.

While the contest was
originally limited to only
apple pie creations, the orga-
nizers opened the contest to
all types of pie in the second
year.
Reynolds said, Last year
we had about half a dozen
different types of pie. The
most notable are the ones
where people put a great
deal of effort into making
elaborate crusts, like a basket
weave or intricate designs
using cookie cutter shapes.
The contest will be held at
Christy Mathewson Park,
located on College Avenue,
Factoryville, behind the Ele-
mentary Center, from 6 to 8
p.m. For a $1 fee, the public
will have the opportunity to
sample and judge the pies.
They then write down the
number of their favorite pie
on a ballot which we tally up
as the festivities wind down,
said Reynolds. There is no
limit to the number of pies
someone may enter and the
first prize winner will re-
ceive $50, with ribbons
awarded for second and third
place winners. Reynolds
said, So far, the winners of
the previous two years have
been kind enough to donate
their winnings back to the
club.
He added, The pie auction
allows anyone who really
enjoyed a particular pie to
write down a bid on a slip of
paper next to that pie with a
phone number for us to re-
ach them if they have the
winning bid. This is where
the contest tends to make the
most money. In addition to
the pie contest, we will also
be raffling off a wine basket
this year.
Entrants are asked to deliv-
er their pies Aug. 11 to Rays
Market, 138 College Avenue,
Factoryville, before 4 p.m.,
or they may bring them to
the Rotary booth until 6 p.m.
The entry fee is $5, which
includes two pies, and there
is no limit per person.

y day, Clarks Summit
resident, Julia Rudolph is
an interior designer at
One Point in Scranton, manag-
ing and working toward dead-
lines on a variety of commercial
and health care- related design
projects. Recently, as her work-
day came to a close, the 26-
year -old took on an evening
and weekend role as actress,
when she appeared on stage for
the first time at The Phoenix
Performing Arts Center, Du-
ryea, wearing a fuchsia- colored
gown and strappy high-heeled
sandals. Rudolph made her
theatrical debut July13 as Es-
telle Rigault, a deceased Pari-
sian woman in the Electric City
Repertory Companys perform-
ance of, No Exit, written by
Jean-Paul Sartre. The play was
first performed in1944, just
before the liberation of Paris
during World War II.
Rudolph played the final
character to enter the Gates of
Hell, and along with co-stars,
AndrewGruden as Garcin,
Margaret Cooney Walther as
Inez, and Shaun Pierre as the
mysterious Valet, brought to life
a story about three unrelated
souls who are damned to Hell.
Rudolph said of the play, We
actually auditioned for another
play. Paul Gallo, the director,
intended on casting actors for
The Lion in Winter. When he
called to notify me that I re-
ceived a part he also let me
knowthat the play had changed
to No Exit.
She added, When I was
younger, my best friend, Nata-
lie, went to a performing arts
school in NewYork City. It
intrigued me and I wanted to try
it, too. My love and respect for
theatre has grown as nowI
realize howmuch hard work is
put into each performance. One
must have the ability not only to
memorize lines, but to deliver
themwith emotion.
The showclosed July 22, and
although Rudolph has no im-
mediate plans for another role,
she hopes to be back on stage in
community theatre. As soon as
work slows down I plan to audi-
tion, said Rudolph.
Ahuge organizational
freak, Rudolph has been in-
terested in space planning, fur-
niture and design since child-
hood. I loved to move my
roomaround as a child. I start-
ed moving my siblings furni-
ture around to be more func-
tional.
She joined One Point three
years ago and is doing the fur-
niture design specifications for
a 40,000 square foot medical
office building. She received a
bachelors and masters degree
in Interior Architecture and
Design fromMarywood Uni-
versity, and is PEAKcertified
for Herman Miller for Health
Care.
Every project is unique,
challenging and interesting. I
specifically like that good
health care designs may actual-
ly improve a patients outlook
and health.
She resides in Clarks Summit
with her parents, Leah Ducato
Rudolph and Kenneth Ru-
dolph, M.D.

Clarks Summit, Pa. AUGUST 1 TO AUGUST 7, 2012 50
With the sounds of the late
Frank Sinatra and other famil-
iar Italian musicians playing
in the background, approxi-
mately 36 members of the
Victor Alfieri Literary Society
gathered July 19, on the clubs
two outdoor Bocce courts for
open Bocce night. Thursday
evening Bocce play at the 206
North Main Ave., Scranton
location is casual and relaxed,
although not completely void
of competition.
Joe DeAntona, a retired
coach, teacher, Bocce fan and
club president since 1997,
joked, Im president (of the
club) and the worst player
here. The crowd laughed,
reflecting a blithe atmosphere.
Joe DeAntonas wife, Alice,
who played in the first game,
said she enjoys Bocce be-
cause, Its a fun sport. We
have a great time. We laugh
and it (Bocce) is just a lot of
fun. On Thursday evenings,
the atmosphere is relaxed.
Bocce, a ball sport belong-
ing to the boules sport fam-
ily, is an ancestor from games
played in the Roman Empire.
It developed into its present
form in Italy, where it is re-
ferred to as Bocce, the plural
of the Italian word boccia,
which means to bowl. Joe
DeAntona described Bocce as
probably the oldest sports in
the world, and a natural
sport.
You could be five years old
or 95-years-old and play. It
has the competitiveness of any
sport or athletic event, but it
doesnt require the physical
stamina and endurance of say,
football or basketball, he
said.
The object of Bocce is to
throw a ball so it lands or rolls
as close as possible to a small
ball known as a pallino.
Whoever wins the coin toss
gets to throw the pallino.
At the end of the game, the
team whose ball is closest to
the pallino is the winner.
Michael Riccis grandfather
taught him to play bocce 45
years ago. Theres a little bit
of strategy involved, said
Ricci. But its more the cam-
araderie.
While there arent any spe-
cial techniques per se, Ricci
said, Youll see different
styles of shooting. Some peo-
ple will throw backward.
Some people will lob the ball.
I like to get down low.
The clubs courts, which
were built approximately eight
or nine years ago, are typical-
ly open, weather permitting,
from the end of May until
October. Bocce can also be
played on the beach or in
ones backyard.
According to the clubs web
site, the Victor Alfieri Litera-
ry Society was organized
March 11, 1911, to help young
Italian men meet fellow im-
migrants to help each other
find jobs and adjust to Amer-
ican ways. In order to attract
young immigrants, the foun-

Bocce helps players stay
united with their community
BY JOAN MEAD-MATSUI
Want to play?
ibocce.com/rules.html offers the
following information:
The match shall begin with the flip of
a coin between the capos (captains)
from each team. The winner of the
coin flip may have the first toss of the
pallino or choose the color of the
balls.
A player may toss the pallino any
distance as long as the pallino passes
the center line of the court and does
not hit the back wall. If a player fails
to validly toss the pallino after one
attempt, the opposing team will have
a chance to toss the pallino and put it
in play. If the opposing team fails to
toss the pallino past the center line,
the pallino reverts to the original
team. In any case, when the pallino
has been properly put in play, the first
bocce ball will be thrown by the team
who originally tossed the pallino.
Play the Game:
The team who originally tosses the
pallino, whether successfully or not,
throws the first bocce ball. If the
bocce ball hits the backboard, that
team must roll again. Otherwise
he/she steps aside and his team does
not roll again until the opposing team
has either gotten one of its bocce
balls closer to the pallino or has
thrown all of its balls. The team
whose bocce balls are closest to the
pallino is called "inside" and the
opposing team "outside." Whenever a
team gets inside, it steps aside and
lets the outside team roll. The team
outside throws until it beats (not ties)
the opposing ball. This continues until
both teams have used all their bocce
balls (a total of 8; 4 from each team).
The team who scored last, throws the
pallino to begin the next frame.
Scoring:
Only the "inside" team scores. One
point is given for each ball of the
inside team that is closer to the
pallino than any ball of the opposing
team. If at the end of any frame the
closest ball of each team is
equidistant from the pallino, the
frame ends in a tie and no points are
awarded to either team. The game
will resume from the opposite end of
the court with the same team tossing
the pallino. Capos of each team are
responsible for keeping the score
sheet and for reporting the results of
the match. The team who scores 12
points wins the game. Must win by 2
points.

ders agreed that the social
club should have an Italian
name, and hence, it was
named after Vittorio Alfieri, a
popular playwright and poet
who lived in Italy from1749
to 1803. Last year, members
celebrated the societys 100th
Anniversary and there are
currently more than 600 mem-
bers, all of Italian descent or
married to Italian women.
DeAntona said, My family,
both on my mother and fa-
thers sides, has been involved
almost since its (the clubs)
inception. It gave me a chal-
lenge and things to do with
my heritage and in the com-
munity. It has kept me con-
nected with the community
and I have enjoyed every min-
ute of it.
For more information re-
garding membership, visit
victoralfierisociety.com.
The clubs membership is
approximately 600, open to
people of all ethnic back-
grounds. There are regular and
social memberships available.
Regular members must part
Italian or married to an Italian,
but if you dont meet any of
those qualifications, you can
still enjoy the club as a social
member.
Describing Bocce ball, Mike
Ricci, club member, asked ,
Have you ever played horse
shoes? Its nothing like it.
BOCCE
Born to Bocce?
When I arrived at the Victor Alfieri
Literary Society in West Scranton on
Thursday, July 19, I was greeted by
member and longtime Bocce Ball
player, Mike Ricci, on the Bocce
courts located at the back of the club.
A small group of club members who
had been enjoying dinner in the Bocce
Lounge soon disbanded to the Bocce
courts, located at the back of the
club.
As the first game was getting under
way, Ricci, a club member, invited
and encouraged me to play. He asked
me, Have you ever played horse
shoes?
My answer was an enthusiastic,
YES.
Ricci replied, Its nothing like it.
My hopes were dashed, as I thought I
might have some sort of edge, but
soon realized I would play the first
game of the evenings open Bocce
night as a reporter, photographer and
a novice Bocce player.
I also thought perhaps my Italian
heritage would provide me with an
innate advantage for the game, but as
I tossed the pallino, followed by the
Bocce balls, it was apparent to me
there is more to the game than simply
rolling the balls down a narrow alley.
Bocce requires concentration and
patience, but is an ideal way to spend
a summer evening - outdoors
surrounded by fun- loving friends.
