‘God has given us a good shepherd’: Locals react to election of new pope
“He’s a bridge builder, a peace maker, a holy man,” the Rev. Joseph Verespy said, describing the new Pope Leo XIV during a homily at the Parish of St. Nicholas – St. Mary in downtown Wilkes-Barre. “God has given us a good shepherd. Thank you, God!” “Amen!” the congregation responded during Friday’s noon-time Mass. […]
“He’s a bridge builder, a peace maker, a holy man,” the Rev. Joseph Verespy said, describing the new Pope Leo XIV during a homily at the Parish of St. Nicholas – St. Mary in downtown Wilkes-Barre. “God has given us a good shepherd. Thank you, God!”
“Amen!” the congregation responded during Friday’s noon-time Mass.
It had been less than 24 hours since word had begun to spread that white smoke at been spotted at the Vatican, and that the College of Cardinals had elected the first pope from the United States, and that he would take the name Leo, perhaps intentionally making a connection with the last pope of that name, Leo XIII, who was known as a defender of workers and champion of their rights.
Already, people were wishing the new pontiff well.
“I’m just praying that God is with him, and that he can bring us all together,” said Judy Williams Sarnoski of Wilkes-Barre, who arrived about half an hour before the Mass to pray the rosary for her spiritual intentions.
“I’m hoping he has a long and healthy life,” said Mary Pat Cosgrove Gill of Mountain Top, adding “He seems gracious.”
Maggie Martinez of Wilkes-Barre said she appreciated hearing the new pope, who spent years in Peru, speak in Spanish, which is her first language. She had greatly appreciated Pope Leo’s immediate predecessor, Pope Francis, for his emphasis on social justice, and believes Pope Leo XIV will continue that.
Others believe that as well, including at King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, where college president the Rev. Thomas Looney predicts Pope Leo XIV will continue the legacy not only of Pope Francis but of Pope Leo XIII, who in May 1891 wrote an encyclical, or papal letter, called Rerum Novarum, championing the dignity and rights of workers.
“King’s has had a great tradition of sharing the Catholic social justice teachings of the church with its students,” he said in response to a reporter’s question. “For many years Rerum Novarum was at the heart of our curriculum.”
“To raise up the common good of all people and the inherent dignity of every person … seeking to live out those fundamental teachings of the gospel” are goals the college seeks to instill in all its students, he said.
Now those students, and other people throughout the world, will have a new example to follow, of a pope who seems to be making a good impression.
“They say he’s a good listener, and he has a sense of humor,” the Rev. Verespy said. “And one of his friends said he’s not a show boater. And ‘peace’ was the first word he said. ‘Peace be with you.’ We’re all called to be peacemakers.”

Dartmouth Wraps Up Spring Camp With Competitive Spring Game

HANOVER, N.H. – The Dartmouth football team wrapped up a strong spring season on Saturday with its annual spring game. The game was held in the Graham Indoor Practice Facility due to heavy rain in the forecast and saw a tight 44-43 final in favor of Team White over Team Green.
Competition was a theme of the day.
“One thing we challenged our guys was to come out here today and compete,” said Sammy McCorkle, Robert L. Blackman Head Football Coach after the game. “It’s the final exam. It’s a chance for us, coaches and your teammates, to see how you’re going to perform in a game situation.
“I thought our guys, first of all, took care of each other, but at the same time, you could see how it got physical, especially down in the red zone,” McCorkle continued. “The guys came out here prepared to play full speed the entire time, and we were able to accomplish all the things that we wanted to accomplish.”
The Big Green were hoping to get in between 90 and 100 snaps and ended up getting in 97, according to McCorkle.
“We were almost dead even on both groups getting the same amount of snaps,” he said. “That’s exactly what we wanted. We got two-minute situations, we got short-yardage situations.”
At halftime, the Big Green announced their captains, featuring rising senior offensive lineman Delby Lemieux, defensive back Sean Williams and wide receiver Daniel Haughton.

“We’re used to having the spring game and games outside, but this spring game was a nice little switch up,” said Haughton. “We always talk about sudden change and being able to adapt and improvise. It was good and we came out and played with energy. Defense played well, offense played well. We competed really well.”
The Big Green are happy, but not satisfied. As Haughton said, there’s always room for improvement.
“Definitely think we can improve,” he said. “We have to be a little more consistent, a little more detailed, but this spring was a great start.”
Specific to Saturday, the offense had a number of big plays, but so did the defense, including two interceptions. One by Samuel Washington was the last play of the day.
“The offense and defense challenge each other every day,” said McCorkle. “The offense has shown it can be explosive. You saw that a couple times today. The quarterbacks did a good job finding our guys down the field, wide receivers did a good job catching the ball and getting explosive plays, which forces the defense to have to be very disciplined and making sure they’re in the right spots.
“But I thought our defense responded,” McCorkle continued. “Guys are playing with confidence, and you can see that with each practice; they became more confident as a whole. I’ve been really impressed by the guys we were expecting to need to step up [this spring], who maybe haven’t played so much in the past
“They did that.”
The Big Green, winners of four of the last five Ivy League Championships, enter the offseason with plenty of momentum.
“One of the biggest things we try to harp on is that we’re not last year’s team,” said Lemieux. “This is a new team. We’re the 2025 Dartmouth football team. I think we did a really good job of embracing that this offseason, coming into the spring and staying true to that throughout these last 12 practices and these workouts.”
“The best thing to take away from spring, whether it’s good or bad, is you can see what you need to improve on this offseason,” said Williams.
Dartmouth football can’t be complacent, which was a message from McCorkle.
“The biggest thing we wanted to do was get better with each practice,” he said. “We would add a little bit to every practice, but our guys did a really good job improving as we went along.
“We we had a good spring, but we have to continue to take this thing to the next level,” McCorkle continued. “This is not when we put it on cruise control. We challenged the guys, if you’re here on campus or you’re off campus, you have to be totally, totally committed. And this is a huge offseason, a huge summer leading into the preseason.”

Women’s Tennis | 5/9/2025 6:32:00 PM
BRUNSWICK, ME – The Hartwick women’s tennis team wrapped up its remarkable 2024-25 campaign, falling to a talented The College of New Jersey Lions squad, 4-0 in the opening round of the 2024-25 NCAA Division III Women’s Tennis Championship on Friday afternoon, hosted by Bowdoin College. TCNJ, the New Jersey Athletic Conference Champion, improved to 13-6, while Hartwick, the E8 Champion, had its season end with a 14-4 mark.
Hartwick prepared themselves for a chilly matchup against The College of New Jersey at Bowdoin College, with temperatures just above 40 degrees at the start of the match.
The Hawks punched their ticket to the NCAA Championship for the second time in three years with a 5-0 sweep over new conference foe, SUNY Geneseo on October 19th.
The Lions, who are no strangers to the NCAA Tournament, secured their 42nd consecutive conference championship, defeating Stockton 4-0 to extend the NCAA’s longest active championship streak.
With the first matchup between the two teams in program history underway, TCNJ struck first. Lily Vanuga (Springville, N.Y.) and Samantha Lanzty (Valatie, N.Y.) fought hard but were upended 6-1 at the No.3 doubles spot.
Gianna Leggieri (Ballston Lake, N.Y.) and Ryann Ashby (Malta, N.Y.) battled their counterparts relentlessly, having the upper hand through a tight battle at the No.2 doubles spot.
The Empire 8 Doubles Team of the Year Alexandra Krasinska (Pine Island, N.Y.) and Phoebe Olson (Jamestown, N.Dak.) faced a tall task at the No.1 doubles spot, matching up with the regionally ranked tandem of Zoey Albert and Shruti Mannan of TCNJ.
Krasinska and Olson went toe to toe with arguably the best tandem in Region II but fell just short of a monumental feat, being bested 6-4 to conclude doubles play.
Ashby and Leggieri held a 4-3 lead over the Lions at the No.2 doubles spot before abandoning play due to TCNJ securing the doubles point with wins at the No.1 and No.3 courts.
The Lions imposed their will in singles play, boasting the firepower of their stacked lineup in all six spots, opening with a straight set win at the No.2 spot.
TCNJ grabbed their third match with a victory at the No.5 spot before clinching their final match at No.4 singles.
Leggieri earned the first set over Gabrielle Brideau before the match was retired, taking the first set 6-3.
The Empire 8 Player of the Year Alex Krasinska was ready for battle at the No.1 singles spot, matching up with the regionally ranked NJAC Player of the Year, Zoey Albert. Krasinska and Albert both displayed their incredible talent but Albert took set one after a long winded clash, but were unable to finish the match.
The Hawks made TCNJ work for every point, game, and set, displaying great effort and mental fortitude but the Region II giant prevailed. The College of New Jersey secured an opening round victory in the NCAA Tournament for the 18th consecutive season.
