by Stephanie LongoCNG Editor

For many writers, publication is the pot ofgold at the end of years’ worth of work. For 17sophomores at Old Forge High School, how-ever, their foray into the literary world hascome well before graduation.Students in Paula Marsico’s English class

were introduced to poetry and figurative lan-guage during the third quarter of this academicyear and had the chance to design a poetrybook. After the students had written approxi-mately 20 poems, Marsico invited them to par-ticipate in a project by Creative Communica-tions, which offers an annual poetry contest tohigh school-aged students. Students from OldForge School District have been published be-fore in the contest, although this year’s contestboasts one of the highest numbers of selectedpoems.“Most of my students have never been pub-

lished before my class, although there havebeen a few,” she said. “Some of my studentsdecided to continue writing poetry after myclass, and others have gone to college for writ-ing or have sought publishers of their own.My goal isn’t to create a class of poets, but aclass of confident writers. I don’t even thinkthey realize how amazing they are because I ambiased, but when they are published, it takestheir confidence to another level.”Marsico explained that she introduces her

students to poetry by sharing some of her ownoriginal works with them and then askingstudents to share their own works with theirpeers. All of the poetry books designed in herclass revolve around a theme that each stu-dent chooses for him- or herself.“I am always amazed how emotional the

students get in their poetry — this is when Itruly get to see who my students are at a deep-er level,” she said. “I can’t tell you how manytimes I have been moved to tears. I have manysamples of my students’ poetry. I have thebooks that have been published, I display thepoetry books in the classroom for all to read

and I display poems in my hallway to inspireeven the teachers who walk by.”For Marsico, teaching poetry to the stu-

dents is important not just because it is partof the Pennsylvania core curriculum, but alsobecause it helps her students become moreconfident as writers and speakers and it teach-es them to appreciate diversity. On a personallevel, witnessing her students blossom as writ-ers is one of the most fulfilling aspects of hercareer.“In the beginning of the year, my first cre-

ative writing lesson is a scary story,” she said.“I assign it early to give them plenty of timeto prepare. Come Halloween, the students arereading spooky stories in the dark. They loveit. I wish it could all be fun and games, butwe also work on research papers, read Shake-

speare, act out plays, analyze stories and per-fect our formal writing while trying to learn amillion literary terms, along with vocabularyand writing a journal every day. It becomeschallenging these days to have meaningfulprojects but, come hell or high water, I willalways make time for the poetry project.”“If you could see me on the day I get the

letter of recognition from Creative Communi-cations, you would probably think I am nuts,”she continued. “The number of publicationskeep increasing. It is not a secret when my stu-dents win awards. Everyone knows and it is asif I am shouting it from the roof top. Old Forgeis a small district but it is well-known for itsathletics. I want other districts to know thatwe are much more then athletes — we are alsointellectual poets.”

Late StartOld Forge’s Breig makes up for lost time

by Dave LaurihaTRIBORO BANNER WRITER

Kierstyn Breig was eager to get her softballseason going at Old Forge. But the sopho-more had to wait, as softball practice starteda little later this year because the girls basket-ball team kept winning playoff games, reach-ing the state Class A final in late March.Breig, a reserve on the basketball team,

and her fellow softball players have tried tomake up the couple of practice weeks otherschools enjoyed and the sophomore is almostwhere she wants to be. She just wishes it oc-curred earlier in the season.“I started off weak. Everybody else was a

few weeks into practice,” Breig said. “In thefield, I had a tight glove and I field my po-sition pretty well. My batting is starting tocome around.We’re starting to come aroundfor districts and we’re working very hard.”Even though the Lady Devils entered this

week’s District 2 Class A playoffs as the bot-tom seed, Breig still has an optimistic outlookfor the postseason, confident she and herteammates can rise to the occasion.Last year was a prime example of Old

Forge showing what they could do when theseason came down to “win a game to keeptheir season going.” The Lady Devils went4-10 in Lackawanna League Division IIIplay, but reeled off three straight wins overLackawanna IV teams to claim their seventhdistrict title in eight years. Although OldForge struggled to a 1-13 mark, they knowwhat it takes to claim district gold.“I started with a bunch of seniors and

they were all great,” Breig said. “Last year,we didn’t go as far into the state playoffs aswe would have liked to, but we got the goldmedal for districts.”Breig, who started at third base as a fresh-

man, knew she needed to step up as a veteranstarter and set her sights on being a smarterhitter.“I wanted to work on my batting. Field-

ing, you have your off games and on games,”Breig said. “This year I wanted to focus onpicking out good pitches to hit. It’s not ex-actly where I want to be. I’d like to be a littlebetter, coming up in key situations, I’d like toget some hits.”Hitting with runners in scoring position

often is a key component for a winning teamand Breig knows she has to do better whenthe situation presents itself.“Honestly, I really haven’t had a lot,”

Breig said. “As a team, we’re not hitting theway we’d like to, as the way we know we canhit. We just haven’t been hitting. We defi-nitely haven’t had a lot of opportunities fora great hit, but in some situations I’ve beenup, I haven’t been as clutch as I’ve wantedto be, maybe getting a walk or a little singlewith no RBI.”Despite driving in just one run this sea-

son, according to the Times-Tribune, Breighas learned about leadership, after watch-ing how last year’s senior class handled thatchore in overseeing the younger players.“We have a lot of young players, and

we’re just trying to get the [right] mentalityin them,” Breig said. “We have a great leaderin Tori Tansley, and she’s a great person tolook up to. She really tries to inspire us, notto be nervous at the plate. We start, I think,four freshmen, and there are a lot of nerves.This year is a learning year, a reboot for hope-fully next year, but you always have to be aspositive as you can be, so we’re hoping ourbats get hot, and we show some hot glovesin the field.”Breig has not stopped thinking positively,

ready to step up in the playoffs.“Being a sophomore, I’d like to hit over

.400, and I think I’m hitting (.364 as ofMon-day),” Breig said. “Hopefully we get a fewmore games and I get to where I want to be. Ireally wanted to be a key player, especially inthe field. I wanted to soak up as many runs asI could, being at third base.”She knew with a lot of young teammates

in the lineup, Old Forge could not expect tohit the ball as well as last year’s senior-ladenlineup did.Breig found herself bouncing around the

batting order as Lady Devils head coach PatRevello kept tinkering with the lineup, withthe sophomore starting the year as the lead-off hitter, then dropped to third in the orderbefore finding herself at second in the order.“He can put me where the team needs

me,” Breig said.It is that attitude that has helped the girls

basketball team reach the state final the lasttwo years, and has also been a cornerstone ofthe Old Forge softball program as well. Breigis prepared to do what it takes to win an-other district title, hoping that their recordmaymake opposing teams overconfident. It’swhat she has learned over her two years inhigh school at Old Forge.Anything can happen.
