The sanctuary of the Moosic AllianceCommunity Church, 608 Rocky Glen Road,will be filled with the sounds of original gos-pel music by the Jacobs Brothers on Sunday,May 24, at 6 p.m.The group, which was formed in 1962,

in East Berlin, Pennsylvania, is composedof brothers Bob and Mike Jacobs and theirfriend, Mike Lawver. Originally made up byBob and Mike Jacobs and their other broth-ers, John and Dick, the group sang at theRCA pavilion at the New York World’s Fairin 1965 and then became performers full-time in 1967, with tours in New Englandand the Canadian maritime provinces. Bythe time Lawver joined in 1972, the brothershad started a tour ministry with trips to theHoly Land. They started a television minis-try the next year on WGCB-TV, based inRed Lion.“The word ‘versatility’ best describes the

Jacob Brothers’ program,” said Moosic Alli-ance Community Church pastor Doug Jen-sen. “Although they specialize in traditionaland sacred music, their approach to the Gos-pel is varied by using the diversified talentsof the singers throughout the concert. Theend result is a program which is appealing toall ages in the audience.”According to Bob Jacobs, who also man-

ages the trio, the group is constantly evolv-ing and is constantly looking for innovativeways to spread their Christian message.“We are in our 52nd year as a group,”

he said. “We still do 160 concerts a year,we sponsor five to six tours, a half-an-hourweekly television show and we also have ourheadquarters at King’s Kids’ Camp in Dills-burg, which we founded in 1977 for under-privileged kids. A variety of ministries occurson those grounds.”Jacobs said that his wife, Joy, died in 2006

after a brain-stem stroke, while Mike Jacobs’wife, Leanne, died of a blood clot during

open heart surgery in 2004. In coping withthose deaths, the Jacobs Brothers were ableredefine their ministry.“Mike [Jacobs] has written several songs

about grieving as a result of these two pre-mature deaths,” he said. “This has added thedimension of encouraging the bereaved toour concert ministry.”The May 24 performance is a Triboro en-

core for the group, having come to the areamany times previously. The Brothers willalso perform at the New Testament Church

of Peruville in Groton, New York. Follow-ing their performance at the Moosic Alli-ance Church, the group will head to North-ern Cambria and other locations in westernPennsylvania, until they return home toDillsburg in July for their annual Gospel Mu-sic Spectacular at King’s Kids Camp.A free-will collection will be taken at

the concert. For more information, call theMoosic Alliance Community Church at570-457-6020. For more information on theJacobs Brothers or to order their albums, vis-it kingskidscamp.org/jbs.

by Dave LaurihaTRIBORO BANNER WRITER

What a difference a year hasmade for Riv-erside centerfielder Mike Spinelli.Last year, as a junior, he was trying to

make up for lost time after not playing base-ball as a sophomore.“I took my sophomore year off for track, I

decided to give it a shot,” Spinelli said. “It wasalright, but I missed baseball and decided tocome back my junior year. I had pretty goodyear last year, but I’m having a much betterone this year — maybe that was because itwas my first year back.”This season, Spinelli finds himself among

the league leaders in runs and hits in DivisionIII of the Lackawanna League.“I started off pretty well and I’m not doing

too bad right now, but I was in a slump so,hopefully, I can get out of that,” Spinelli said.“My defense has been pretty good the wholeyear.”A year ago, Spinelli spent some time reac-

quainting himself with baseball, which endeduphurtinghis offensive production, but didn’tchange anything with his defensive prowess.“[It took time] just getting used to the

pitching again, like recognizing a curve ballcoming out of the pitcher’s hand. Last year,I only had seven hits and this year I alreadyhave 12,” Spinelli said. “I play three sports(soccer and basketball are the other two), so Ididn’t spend a lot of [off-season] time on base-ball. But as soon as basketball ended, I was inthe gym for baseball the next day.”The Vikings, like most other high schools

across the region, spent much more time inthe gym this year as the winter weather leftfields unplayable until April. It had Spinellieager to get back outside and catch some realfly balls in practice.“For the infielders it was fine, but for out-

fielders, all you could really do was focus onyour footwork,” Spinelli said.But the extra time he had for hitting has

paid off with his improved offensive numbersfor Riverside.“This year we thought he’d do a great job

for us, batting leadoff and play a great centerfield,” Vikings head coach Mike Hallinansaid. “But he has gone through stretches

where he’s 2-for-4, 3-for-4 [hitting].“Last year, he’d go through spurts where

he wasn’t making contact, not keeping theball in play. This year, he has cut his strike-outs, and with his speed, even if he hits asquibber in the infield, he’s going to beat itout. He’s exceeded our expectations.”One thing that hasn’t changed is Spinelli’s

speed, which is greatly valued by Hallinan.“On the base paths, he hasn’t been

thrown out stealing bases the last two years,”Hallinan said. “Defensively, he gets to everysingle ball; he just covers so much ground incenter field.”Spinelli is a center midfielder in soccer,

which means he covers a lot of ground there.“I was used to going up and down the [soccer]field,” he said.There may be fewer things more pleasing

for Hallinan to watch than seeing Spinellichase down balls anywhere from right-centerto left-center, knowing more likely than not,the senior will either make the catch or pre-vent extra bases.“He’s a natural outfielder. Even though

he didn’t play his sophomore year, he camein last year like he didn’t miss a beat,” Hal-linan said. “He’s long, he’s about 6-foot-1, andwhen a ball is hit in the gap, he just glides.He’s very fast, but it doesn’t look like it whenhe runs, he just covers so much ground in ashort amount of time. Even with the onesin the gaps that’s down he’s cutting off, wehaven’t given up many extra-base hits. Hecuts it down pretty quickly and gets the ballback pretty fast.”That takes a burden off the pitchers, who

know that opponents will need two or threehits to produce a run, since doubles and triplesare infrequent occurrences when the Vikingsare on the field.“Our pitchers are out there throwing

strikes and trusting our defense,” Hallinansaid. “With his arm, not a lot of guys are go-ing to test him.”And to think, a couple of years ago, that

speed and his arm were running track, notrunning down baseballs to the gaps. For Hal-linan, in his second year heading the Riv-erside program, he is sure glad that Spinellicame back to baseball.

by Dave LaurihaTRIBORO BANNER WRITER

As a sophomore two years ago, Cam-eron Carpenter showed enough promisethat he was called up to the varsity baseballteam at Old Forge to learn what he couldfrom a senior-laden team.The next year, Carpenter slumped late

in the season and was often the player whowould be hit for by the designated hitter.Needless to say, he wasn’t about to

settle for a repeat performance at the platethis year.So far, batting .387 has him securely

playing second base and batting eighth ev-ery game for the Blue Devils.“I’m hitting the ball all right, but we’re

off to a little bit of a tough start as a team,”Carpenter said.

It was a rough mid-season stretch thathampered his junior season, one he under-stood, but still it made him vow that hissenior season would be different.“The time in the game, he (Old Forge

head coach Tony DiMattia) needed a dif-ferent bat there,” Carpenter said of his2014 woes. “It was more of a motivation tomake sure it didn’t happen again this year.I started up right before Thanksgiving, go-ing twice a week with Phil Rossi and didthat right up until we started practice.”“He’s a type of kid who is real competi-

tive, and being a golfer as well, the com-petitive nature of golf is battling againstyourself all the time,” DiMattia said. “In-ternally, you know you can better at thisor at that, and he came in with a chip [onhis shoulder], that he wanted to prove, notonly to himself but to everybody else, in-

cluding the coaching staff, that he was ca-pable, willing and the guy who needed tobe somewhere in the lineup.”A continued belief in himself and the

calendar combined to strengthen Carpen-ter’s resolve to work hard in the off-season.“It’s more of it being my last chance to

do anything being a senior, not playingtravel ball or summer ball,” Carpenter said.“It’s my last chance to do anything withmy baseball career. It focuses me more, butmainly it makes me want everyone on theteam focus a little more so everything canbe right about my last year.“Even with last year, I was up there

[batting] for a decent part of the year, thentoward the end of the year I started strug-gling,” he continued. “I always knew if Igot as many chances as other guys, that Iwas going to put up decent numbers.”His batting average shows his confi-

dence was justified.“Mechanics-wise, nothing really

changed, it’s just my mindset going in,”Carpenter said. “Last year, I was battingwith a little pressure every at-bat, like if Idon’t get a hit this time; I’m going to gethit for next time. This year it’s looser, thatI can go out there and just play.”He shrugs off his defensive prowess, say-

ing he could do more, but in his final timearound Division III of the LackawannaLeague, Carpenter is making a lasting im-pact on opposing coaches.“You play every team twice, and the

teams we play in the league we won’t playin the playoffs, so your last at-bat againstHoly Cross, that’s the last time you’re go-ing to play those guys, so you go about itdifferently,” Carpenter said.Against Holy Cross in a 10-inning 3-0

loss, Carpenter left his mark on the Cru-saders with his defense, making a pair ofdiving stops, one that came with runnersat second and third to save a run or two.

“He’s having a great year offensivelyand defensively,” DiMattia said. “Defen-sively, he’s been incredible. In our gamewith Holy Cross, it was 0-0 through nine[innings] and he made two diving plays,just insane. Defensively, he’s the one guy

in our infield who is a returner who’s inthe same spot as last year. Offensively, he’shitting in the eighth spot, but in an idealworld, he’d be hitting at a different spot inthe lineup, but I just think it works bestfor us where he’s hitting right now basedon what I have, with five lefties out of sixspots in the order.”The action he took in the off-season has

paid off hugely for Carpenter.“Not that he felt slighted, but he actu-

ally took it upon himself to prove to ev-erybody that he could hit for us,” DiMattiasaid. “To himself, he made it point to be aguy nobody’s going to hit for, and he wasgoing to be a guy who would do anythingwe asked him to do.”As one of three seniors in the lineup,

he’s been asked to lead and has taken to itquite well.“The team looks up to him, they watch

him play, he plays extremely hard, prac-tices hard every day, he doesn’t take a dayoff,” DiMattia said. “You wish more kidswould be like him.”Carpenter recently earned scholarship

money from the Bill Howerton tourna-ment, which honors the memory of thewidely-respected area player and coach.“I had to write an essay about certain

characteristics you can acquire in sportsthat you can also use in the classroom,”Carpenter said. “I used determination andperseverance.”By winning that honor over many other

candidates, Carpenter showed he under-stands both subjects quite nicely, how theyhave given him to tools to make a come-back to be a force at the plate and in thefield.
