When Old Forge resident Pat Stassi stoppedin at an estate sale a few years ago to look at anold car, he had no idea he’d find a treasure ofanother kind.“I saw a box of files there and saw the name

of the Stewart family, which was a prominentfamily here in Old Forge,” he recalled. “I wait-ed so I could bid on it. When I went through it,I couldn’t believe what was in there.”Stassi discussed his finds with friend and fel-

low Old Forge resident Sal Luzio Sr. and thetwo realized that there could be other piecesto the puzzle of Old Forge Borough history outthere that, as Stassi said, could end up “prop-erty of the landfill” if something wasn’t done.Stassi and Luzio have decided to create the

Old Forge Historical Society. The group’s firstmeeting will be held on Thursday, April 23,at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the OldForge Borough Building, 310 S. Main St.“There are people out there who know

things,” Luzio said. “We found out how drasti-cally Main Street has changed over the years;for example, where the Burger King is nowwas once the Butler Silk Mill. We know thereare families out there who are survivors of thepeople who originally took these pictures orwho have documents that were handed downto them. We want to save those pictures anddocuments for future generations.”Luzio invites borough residents who might

have old photos or documents for the society tocome to the meeting. If someone does not wishto part with an item, they will scan and returneverything to the owners.“We want anyone who has an interest in

Old Forge’s history to be involved with our

group,” Stassi said. “Our goal is to do researchand go back as early as possible in our borough’shistory. We want to help people remember thebig things that happened in Old Forge.”

The group eventually hopes to create a visi-tors’ center and museum. For more informationor to submit an artifact, call Sal Luzio Sr. at570-335-0025.

‘Forging’ Their Town’s HistoryGroup seeks to preserve memories of Old Forge Borough

A Good CatchOld Forge’s Tansley named two-sport

all-state performerby Dave LaurihaTRIBORO BANNER WRITER

Last summer, Old Forge’s softballerTori Tansley was celebrating beingnamed to the Class A all-state secondteam as a catcher.Some nine months later, Tansley be-

came a two-sport all-state performer asthe senior was selected to the Pennsyl-vania Sportswriters Class A first team forleading the Lady Devils to a return ap-pearance in the state basketball final.Both of those accomplishments

seemed unlikely to Tansley, who concen-trated on hard work and not what the ac-complishments meant to her.“I didn’t make any all-star teams

around here,” Tansley said. “I was ex-pecting maybe second team or honorablemention. I didn’t have any idea leadingup to that.”But lo and behold, the senior got

the recognition that only she thoughtcouldn’t happen.“I was taken aback a little,” Tansley

said. “Everyone around me told me theyexpected it, but I guess I was in my ownlittle world and I didn’t realize it.”Her softball honor probably was a little

less surprising because Tansley has signedto play at the college level with Concor-dia and, for now, the basketball honor ismore cherished by the senior.“The first team in basketball means

more now,” Tansley said. “Softball comeseasier to me as a sport and we workedhard as a team to get back to Hershey soall that hard work paid off for us.”Setting a strong example and having

the respect of her teammates has giventhe senior the latitude to take charge onthe court and in the huddle. Everythingat Old Forge comes back to work ethic,heart and leadership and the hope thatwhat happens now will pay dividendsdown the road. Call it “paying it forward.”“We have a lot of young talent,” Tans-

ley said. “I hope I can help the girls in theyears to come.”That requires leadership, and the

Concordia-bound catcher has that inabundance. As the returning player who

saw the most playing time in the LadyDevils’ first run to the state Class A fi-nal in 2014, Tansley knew her teammateswould look to her for guidance and that’sexactly what she did.“I love that role,” Tansley said.That was never more evident that

in the state semifinal win over Portage,where Tansley led the Lady Devils backfrom a 17-point deficit in the secondquarter with 24 points after halftime in a45-42 double overtime win.“That was one of the craziest games

in my career, [there were] a lot of upsand downs in that game,” Tansley said.“Watching everybody around me, all ourfans who came, the student section, everyone on the bench from the coaches to theball girls, we knew we had to go out andsomehow pull out a win.”That never-say-die attitude paid off

as the Lady Devils won eight straightgames before losing the state final. Asit turned out, an inside joke among thegirls on the basketball team became anunlikely reality.“It was definitely a joke; we would be

joking around, the seniors and Gabby(Verespey, the lone junior starter), wouldbe like, ‘oh yeah, we’ll be just like lastyear and get back to Hershey’ and wewould laugh, and take it as a joke,” Tans-ley said.“It didn’t hit us until Friday (the day

before the state final); we didn’t quiterealize what we had done to get back toHershey,” she continued. “On the way toHershey, it sank in.”Returning to Hershey was the focus in

the playoffs, and Tansley’s effort againstPortage reminded Old Forge coach RonStacchiotti of the importance of lead-ership that Tansley owned among herteammates with her second-half effort.“In the second half, Tori was unstop-

pable,” said Stacchiotti, who earnedClass A Coach of the Year honors by thePennsylvania Sportswriters group. “Shejust wanted to win so bad; to get back toHershey so bad. They had no answer forher in the second half of that game.”While the season ended with a state
