Lehman plans ‘Knight of Mayhem’
“Everybody thinks you can buy success. But the foundation of intelligence is independent thought.”
Day-long fundraiser will raise money for new turf on district’s playing field.
By SUSAN DENNEY Dallas Post Correspondent
Lake-Lehman School District booster clubs are uniting for a day-long fundraiser on June 1. The “Knight of Mayhem” fundraiser is intended to raise money for new turf for the district’s playing field. According to district superintendent James McGovern, 13 different programs and several community groups use the surface. “The turf is constantly used,” he said, adding that it must be replaced for the safety of the students. The “Knight of Mayhem” fundraiser will run from 10 a.m. into the evening. The main activity of the fundraiser will be a novel game called Cow Pie Bingo. A fundraiser that has been used by other charitable organizations and which is growing in popularity, Cow Pie Bingo involves selling two by two foot square deeds to a field. A cow is let loose in the field. The player who holds the ticket to the square littered by the cow is the winner.

Lake-Lehman Superintendent Jim McGovern posts samples of what the proposed sports field at the senior high school will look like prior to a meeting of parent sponsors and supporters.
The winner gets 10 percent of the total deed sales. McGovern also said that there will be a carnival, including games of chance, games for small children and food. A disc jockey will provide music and the district’s theater group will produce an outdoor program. The facility goal for the day is 2,500 to 3,000 people. “We will also have a silent auction and a youth basketball tournament,” McGovern said, adding that a giant flag football tourna-
ment is also planned. The goal is for this one event to meet the yearly debt schedule for the update to the field. The superintendent said it will cost about $500,000 to replace the turf. Although the track will not be replaced, it will be re-sprayed. The total cost of the field will be determined after bids are received and sponsorships have been solicited. For $15,000, sponsors can place their emblem or message on a five by five yard area along the side of the field.
McGovern wants the field to be unique. It will be black. “We’re going to call it ‘The Black Hole,’” he said. McGovern hopes the distinctive field will be unique enough to attract sponsors and create more community stakeholders in the project. For him, the field represents far more than a place for activities. “You’re teaching coping skills and perseverance. It doesn’t matter which sport,” he said, adding that he believes sports teach independence, generosity and community in equal parts. For McGovern, education is more than classroom learning. “All that intelligence and mastery doesn’t mean that you’re a good person,” he said. “Everybody thinks you can buy success,” he added. “But the foundation of intelligence is independent thought.”

This highway sign on Rout 415 in Dallas next to the entrance to the Elmcrest development will be repaired soon.
Several people step up to repair sign Thanks to several people who have responded to a story published in the Jan. 27 edition of The Dallas Post, the sign on Memorial Highway will be repaired. Dan Duffy, of Shavertown, was the first to call about the sign. His son, Connor, a ninth-grade student at Dallas High School and a member of Boy Scout Troop 146 in Jackson Township, will take on the challenge of repairing the sign as part of his Eagle Scout project. Tony Hudak, proprietor of AJH services and a Marine Corps vet, has offered to lend his construction expertise and will assist Connor with the project. Joseph Gimble, of Larksville, said the story about the sign caught his eye. A former corrections officer at the State Correctional Institute in Dallas, Gimble was a student at the GI Carpenters School on Dorrance Street in Kingston in 1956 and remembers the sign being constructed there by veterans attending school n the GI bill. John Emil, commander of the American Legion Daddow-Isaacs Post 672 in Dallas and American Legion district commander, says Legion members put flags on top of the sign every year. He remembers a Boy Scout named Brian Grezzi painted the sign as part of a Scout project one year and says that, in1967 the sign was knocked down and repaired by members of the American legion. Emil also reported that the sign was originally installed by a gentleman named John Blackman who dedicated it not only to military veterans but to Back Mountain heroes like firefighters, EMTs and police officers. He added that the sign was damaged by a snow plow during a snowstorm this winter. The Dallas Post will monitor progress of the sign repair and continue to update its readers on the issue.

DALLAS TOWNSHIP
Report says period of rapid growth is now passed By CAMILLE FIOTI Dallas Post Correspondent
During a visioning session on Jan. 29, Jack Varaly, a consultant to the township’s Comprehensive Plan Committee, reported the results of the American Community Survey, an ongoing activity of the U.S. Census Bureau. The township is in the process of developing a comprehensive plan to identify issues regarding the future of the township and data collected by the Census will be
used in the plan. Varaly said, although the township population continues to grow steadily, the period of rapid growth has passed. The median age of township residents is 44.3 and only 12.3 % of its residents are school-aged children. “There’s a lot of empty-nesters now,” he said. Of the 3,333 households in the approximately 18.7 square miles of the township, 99% of its occupants are white and primarily of German, Irish, Italian and Polish descent. Varaly also reported that the

average home value in the township is $182,400. “That’s well above that of the county or state and it’s among the highest in the Back Mountain area,” he said, adding that Jackson Township’s average home value

is the highest at $218,000. “Investing in housing in Dallas Township is a worthwhile investment.” Part of the process of developing a comprehensive plan is updating the township’s maps and
ordinances. The committee discussed the township’s zoning districts and the possibility of changing the designation of some areas. Varaly suggested rezoning some Agriculture-zoned areas (A1) to a Conservation designation, which could protect landowners from oil and gas uses such as compressor stations and processing plants. “It makes sense to be in a conservation district,” he said. Therese Kosek, a member of the Visioning Committee, said
she’s concerned about losing green space along the highway business district on state Route 415. “I’d hate to see the whole corridor of land turn into one long strip mall to Harveys Lake,” she said. Varaly pointed out that zoning modifications can be made for set-back requirements and sign height. The group will meet again at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 7 in the municipal building and also at its regular meeting held at 7 p.m. on the last Monday of each month, as needed.
‘Entertainer of the Year’ Nick Oberst holds one of his trophies over his head. The Back Mountain Dance Studio won $4,300 in cash and swept a regional dance competition in southern PA.
CHAMPION DANCERS Dancers from local dance studio win cash prizes in Contest of Champions. By CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK Dallas Post Correspondent
On a cold Sunday afternoon, far from their cozy living rooms and football games, a group of dancers and their faithful parents piled into the Back Mountain Dance Studio of Bob and Kristine Oberst to celebrate a phenomenal victory. While the feathered and sequenced Back Mountain dancers have won competitions before, never have they won this many trophies and cash - a total of $4,300. The competitions are run by the Performing Arts Alliance which, according to its website, is considered one of the “best dance competitions on the East coast.” Competitions are held in May and November and dancers or teams that place first, second or third in those competitions are then eligible to compete in a Contest of Champions in January. Oberst says the local studio often wins parts of the competition, but this year it’s more like a sweep. Local dancers took the grand championships in four age groups: in solo performance ages 8 to 9; 10 to 12, 13 to 15 plus a duo /trio championship in the 16 to 18 age group. Two groups competed and won in the 8 to 9 and 10 to 12 year old bracket and there was a Grand Champion for Modeling from the school. As if that wasn’t enough, 12year-old Nick Oberst, son of the studio owners, won as best solo entertainer of the year and the group Locomotion won $1,000 for having the most entertaining routine of the year. “It’s enough to take one’s breath away,” said Oberst. “It was a big surprise.” The competition involves over 500 contestants from about a dozen dance studios from New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Obersts have owned and operated the Back Mountain

MOMENTS IN TIME By Samantha Weaver • It was Simon Cameron, who served as secretary of war under President Abraham Lincoln, who made the following sage observation: “An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.” • You might not be surprised to learn that some people who play video games can become rather obsessed. In 2007, one such person, a 45-year-old gamer, used a Japanese sword to rob a lingerie shop. He was apprehended, and when he was put on trial, he told the judge that at the time of the robbery he believed he was a female elf. • It’s common knowledge that methane, a greenhouse gas, contributes to the rise in global temperatures. It’s less well-known, however, that 20 percent of the world’s methane emissions comes from livestock and their, well ... emissions. • Many professional matchmakers say that one should never date a person who is younger than half one’s age, plus seven years. • The average human walks approximately 100,000 miles in the course of a lifetime. If that walking were done in a straight line on the equator, you would circle the Earth four times. • In the early 1990s, a couple in Milwaukee was curious about the value of a painting they had displayed in their home, so they invited an art expert to evaluate the piece. The painting in question turned out to be of little relative value, but the expert noticed another work, a still life with flowers, that the owners believed to be a reproduction of a Van Gogh. Imagine this couple’s surprise when the work turned out to be an original 1886 painting, which later sold at auction for $1.4 million.

RIVAL GAME Lake-Lehman girls upset Lady Mountaineers in Black and Blue Trophy Game. By TOM ROBINSON For the Dallas Post
As neighbors and rivals, the Dallas girls basketball team has seen a lot of Lake-Lehman. The Lady Mountaineers, however, had never seen the Lady Knights look quite like they did in the Jan. 26 game. No one had. “They came to see us play multiple times,” said sophomore center Cayle Spencer, who scored a career-high 33 points to lead Lake-Lehman to a 72-63 upset. “We’ve never played that well.” With Spencer making strong inside moves to the basket and Emily Sutton hitting all four of her 3-point shots in a 22-point effort, Lake-Lehman never trailed while knocking off the Wyoming Valley Conference Di-

vision 1 leaders on their home floor in the first Black and Blue Rivalry Trophy Game. The annual game now features a trophy sponsored by the Dallas Lions Club which will be displayed at the school of the winning team throughout the year. Lake-Lehman coach Charlie Lavan agreed with his leading scorer. The Lady Knights picked their rivalry game for their best effort of the season. “Our Crestwood game was close, but it was not like this,” Lavan said. Lake-Lehman entered the day tied for seventh place out of 18 teams jockeying for seeding position in the District 2 Class
AAA playoffs and as a third-place team in Division 2 of the WVC. The Lady Knights used the nonconference game to show their potential for the playoffs that are weeks away. “It’s a big rivalry game for us,” Lavan said, “but it’s also a gauge to see where we are with these Class Triple-A teams. We moved up to Class Triple-A this year and this was encouraging.” That was clear in the first 1:47 when Lake-Lehman forced three Dallas turnovers and scored the game’s first six points, convincing Lady Mountaineers coach Kelly Johnson to use her first timeout. “They weren’t expecting that from us,” Spencer said. “We
played harder than we ever played.” Lake-Lehman’s hustle was evident from the start. The Lady Knights made six steals in the first quarter and, at the midway point in the second quarter, were crushing the Lady Mountaineers, 18-6, on the boards. “That was all on effort,” Lavan said. “The girls had their minds made up they were going to make a total effort. They did.” Spencer had 11 points in the game’s first seven minutes, creating a 22-9 lead. Sutton hit one 3-pointer in each quarter while scoring 22 points and leading the team with See UPSET, Page 10
Lady wrestler steps up to fill in empty weight class at L-L By TOM ROBINSON For the Dallas Post
Lake-Lehman opened the wrestling season with another championship-caliber team, but one that was in position to give away points in every match because it could not fill the 106pound weight class. Rebecca Wright spent parts of the last three years telling her family she would like to try wrestling. When they connected a few weeks into the season, the Black Knights solved a problem and Wright got a chance to try a sport that, in 2011-12 in Pennsylvania, was exclusively for boys. “I wasn’t a fan of the idea to be honest,” said Bob Wright, Rebecca’s father and president of the Lake-Lehman Wrestling Parents Club. “She does competitive cheerleading, which is very demanding of her time. “She’s wanted to wrestle for the last three years.” Once Rebecca had a discussion with the Lake-Lehman coach, it was time to talk about her idea at
“He gave me a lot of advice. He helped me with the moves.” Rebecca Wright Lake-Lehman wrestler Speaking about her brother, Robert
home again. Robert Wright, Rebecca’s older brother and a two-year starter with the Black Knights, helped with the process. “I had to convince my dad,” said Rebecca, who is a football cheerleader at Lake-Lehman and does cheerleading competition outside of school. “My brother helped me.” It was not the last time Robert helped Rebecca with wrestling. “He gave me a lot of advice,” Rebecca said. “He helped me with the moves.” And, he kept an eye on his little sister. While he says he is protective of Rebecca, Robert said his teammates have accepted her well. “They were all pumped and excited to have her on the team,” he said.
According to the National Federation of State High School Athletic Association’s annual Athletics Participation Survey, 9,920 boys at 496 Pennsylvania schools participated in wrestling on the high school level in 2011-12. Not a single girl competed. On the national level, 272,149 boys wrestled for 10,407 schools while 8,235 girls wrestled at1,441 schools, with California and Texas accounting for more than half of those participants. At Lake-Lehman, Rebecca has been able to help her team while still learning the sport. She has picked up six team points for the Black Knights on six occasions, gaining forfeit wins when opponents could not fill the weight class. She wants to bring more to the team.

“She said she wants to wrestle,” Lake-Lehman coach Tom Williams said. “She doesn’t want to stand there and take forfeits. She comes into the wrestling room and works at it.” Rebecca ran into one reluctant opponent, who did not want to have to wrestle her when they were paired up at a tournament. See WRESTLER, Page 10

effort allowed Lake-Lehman to overcome 31 turnovers at the hands of the Dallas pressure defense. Sam Missal made four 3-pointers while leading Dallas with 16 points before fouling out. Jess Hiscox added 14 points. Ashley Dunbar had 11 points, six assists and five steals while Talia Szatkowski provided six points, seven rebounds, four assists and a team-high six steals. Katy Comitz came off the bench for eight points and seven rebounds. Their efforts allowed the Lady Mountaineers to make several runs but Dallas never caught up. After an eight-point streak gave Lake-Lehman the 22-9 lead, Comitz finished the first quarter with a 3-point play. Comitz and Hiscox then hit consecutive 3pointers to cut the deficit to 23-18 midway through the second.
Dallas began getting to the offensive boards and got as close as three twice before Sutton’s 3pointer with 15 seconds left gave Lake-Lehman a 30-24 advantage at halftime. Lake-Lehman opened a gap again when Sutton scored the first five points and Spencer the next three in an 8-0 run in just 43 seconds for a 48-35 lead late in the third quarter. “We had a big start then that stretch in the third quarter built our confidence up again and gave us a little cushion to play with,” Lavan said. Spencer finished off Dallas with 19 second-half points, including 11 in the third quarter. She went 14-for-17 from the foul line. The Lady Knights led by as many as 15 points three times in the fourth quarter.

against Wyoming Area and was still in a close bout before being pinned in the final 20 seconds. Williams pointed out that women’s wrestling is part of the Olympics and is offered at some colleges in addition to high schools in other parts of the country. Wright, however, has not yet seen any wrestling
matches other than those where she is the lone girl competing with the boys. As the Black Knights prepared to pursue the District 2 Class AA Dual Meet Tournament title this weekend, Wright was busy getting herself ready to help that pursuit as much as possible.
Sara Pizzo has been competing for the last 10 years. “I love the atmosphere,” she said. “It’s exciting; you get an adrenaline rush and it pushes me to do better.” Carly Kappler said, “I wasn’t nervous because it was my favorite routine - a solo tap routine - and it was the first time I won grand champion.” Enthusiastically, Jamie Bon-

11 rebounds. Danae Sutliff added 10 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals. “They all did their roles,” Lavan said, rattling off the contributions of the five starters and two subs who combined for the victory. Included was senior guard Jen Konopinski, who, despite being the shortest player on the floor at 5-foot-1, was second in the game with nine rebounds. “She’s scrappy,” Lavan said. “She gets off the floor real well and she gets herself in the right spots.” The final 40-31 rebounding edge and a 48-percent shooting
