For Regina Saracino of Old Forge, serving asa nurse in the United States Navy during bothWorld War II and the KoreanWar was not justa duty, it was a privilege.“I finished school and worked in the silk
mills and my sister-in-law suggested I go intonursing,” she recalled. “Then the war [WorldWar II] came. I finished nursing school in 1944and Roosevelt was asking for more nurses. He
was screaming for nurses — Franklin Rooseveltwas something. That’s how I got enlisted. I wassent to Florida and worked as a nurse there un-til the war ended.”Saracino is one of three Old Forge female
veterans that the borough’s American LegionPost No. 513 is seeking to honor as a part of anational initiative by the Women in MilitaryService for America Memorial Foundation.As post commander Adam Chase explained,the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has morethan 63,000 female veterans but only 10,000
are registered with the Women Veterans Me-morial at Arlington National Cemetery.“The whole idea is to honor women veter-
ans and what better way is there than to showpeople examples right from our community,”Chase said. “Through the decades, there havebeen various groups of veterans who have nothad the recognition that they so rightly de-served. You will recall the African-Americansoldiers who served so well in World War II in

Got a green thumb?If so, the Taylor Community Library,
710 S. Main St., wants you.Library director Jeanie Sluck said that
the idea for the new “Weed and Read”club, which will host its first meeting atthe library on Saturday, June 20, at 1 p.m.came about because of a disparity betweenthose who garden and those who kill any-thing they touch.“The initial idea was to get anyone,
from those who’ve never planted a seed
to those who are very knowledgeable, tomeet on a monthly basis to discuss any-thing garden related,” she said. “ChristineSchaefer came up with the original idea— she has a wonderful garden that is al-ways in bloom. We just want to get thepeople who have a common interest ingardening together to share ideas.”While part of the club’s mission is to
get gardeners of all kinds together, Slucksaid that because of the LackawannaCounty Library System’s continuing sup-port of promoting literacy in our area, shewanted to add a book component. Booksfor the club will run the gamut of fiction,
non-fiction and how-to, as long as theyfocus on gardening. The first book will be“The Azalea Assault” by Alyse Carlson.The fictional book tells the story of publicrelations executive Camellia Harris whoinadvertently becomes witness to a mur-der while on assignment at a garden partyin Roanoke, Virginia. Harris then decidesto put her investigatory skills to work andsolve the murder on her own.“Gardening is a ‘hot’ hobby, especially
with so many people who are health con-scious and who are vegetarians or whosubscribe to the organic philosophy,”Sluck said. “In my case, I want answers
to the question, ‘Why does everything Itouch die?’ but, for the most part, we willdiscuss what to plant, when to plant and ifany issues can arise from established gar-dens.”“We want this open to gardeners and
readers alike,” she continued. “You don’thave to be both to join. We encouragepeople to come and check this programout.”The Weed and Read club will meet
monthly at the Taylor Community Li-brary. For more information, call 570-562-1234 or visit lclshome.org/b/taylor-community-library/.
The Taylor Community Library, 710 S. Main St., has announced the creation of the “Weed and Read” club for both gardeners and people who love to read about gardening.

Living the DreamPlayers from Old Forge and Riverside
participate in ‘dream team’by Dave LaurihaTRIBORO BANNER WRITER
For Riverside’s Mike Spinelli and OldForge’s Cameron Carpenter, their highschool baseball careers did not end with aloss in a District 2 playoff game.Unlike their teammates at their respec-
tive schools, Spinelli and Carpenter got tolive a little bit of a dream.Both players were selected to represent
the Lackawanna League in its “Field ofDreams” All-Star Game held Sunday atPNC Field in Moosic. The home of theScranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, theNew York Yankees Triple-A minor leaguefranchise, has become a place that areahigh school players long to play at.The two biggest ways to do that are to
play on a team that advances to the Dis-trict 2 final, something Old Forge has donein Class A a few times since the districtbegan to hold its four championship gameson Memorial Day, or to be selected for thisgame, which brings together the top play-ers from the Lackawanna League and theWyoming Valley Conference.Carpenter was among eight infielders
chosen for the 20-player team, while Spi-nelli was one of just four outfielders pickedfor the team. Players from 15 of the 24schools in the Lackawanna League wereselected, with Abington Heights and BlueRidge unable to be chosen from becauseboth teams had reached the state quarter-finals in their respective classifications.
Both Carpenter and Spinelli had animpact on the game for the LackawannaLeague, which lost the game, 9-6. Car-penter played second base, batted second,walked and scored a run in the losing ef-fort.For Carpenter’s high school career to
end at PNC Field, where he had plenty ofmemories of playing for the Blue Devils atthe stadium, seemed appropriate for whathe meant to this year’s Old Forge team.Bouncing back after being the fielder
the designated hitter batted for parts of hisjunior year, Carpenter batted over .300 atthe field as a senior for the Blue Devils.“It was a cool experience getting to
play with other kids,” Carpenter said. “Itwas great to get another game under mybelt for my high school career. That wasdefinitely the best thing I took from it.”Spinelli played left field, and like Car-
penter, scored a run despite not getting ahit. The senior, who played center field forthe Vikings, was among the league lead-ers in runs and hits in Lackawanna LeagueDivision III play, and his speed helpedmake him a factor in every ball hit to hisarea, able to cut the ball off in the gapsand hold opposing hitters to singles wheredoubles and triples usually resided.The all-around athlete, who started on
Riverside’s soccer and basketball teams aswell, also was a factor on the bases, as henever was thrown out attempting to steala base his junior and senior seasons.

units such as the Tuskegee Airmen.Vietnam veterans in general were notrightly honored for quite some time afterthat war. We also think that it is time thatwomen veterans receive applause for theirsacrifices and good service to our nation.”One Old Forge female veteran that
Chase has discovered through his researchis the late Theresa Aulisio.“Theresa was a Seaman First Class in
rank in the Navy during World War II,”he said. “Her discharge papers indicatethat she was a cashier or clerical worker,probably a frequent occupation for womenof her era. Interestingly, military servicewas part of her family. Her husband, Joe,also served in the Army during WorldWar II. Joe’s brother, Anthony, servedwith the Army during World War II andwas awarded the Silver Star for Gallantry.And Theresa’s son, Joseph, was a UnitedStates Air Force veteran of Vietnam. Jo-seph recalls that his mother didn’t reallytalk too much about the details of her ser-vice, although he recalls her pride in hav-ing worn the uniform.”The pride in the uniform is something
that resonates even today with Paula Tor-wich, a teacher in the Old Forge SchoolDistrict who is a veteran of Desert Storm.
Torwich admits she originally joined theArmy for help with her college tuition butsomething changed when she donned heruniform for the first time.“My whole life changed the day I put
on the uniform and realized this had noth-ing to do with money for my college tu-ition,” she said. “My heart exploded withpatriotism. I remember watching a filmexplaining what it meant to be in the mil-itary and feeling the deepest sense of prideand respect for myself and my country.”For Chase, these women’s stories de-
serve preservation and he hopes that theOld Forge American Legion Post No. 513can help record the stories of women notjust from the borough, but from through-out the region. He urges anyone whowould like to submit a female veteran’sname to the project to contact him at570-575-3007 or to email him at [email protected].“Their military and life stories are
compelling,” he said. “They are also in-spirational to women and girls especially.These women are role models in the truestsense of the word.”For Saracino, her service remains one
of the high points of her life. She still sup-ports both veterans and the nursing pro-fession to this day.“As a Navy nurse, you are always in
charge. You do all the commanding work,”she said. “You do your duty and you have anice time doing it.”
