Instructor Dave Zimmerman, of Dallas, demonstrates line dancing to ’Elvira’ at the Harveys Lake American Legion Hall.

Picture a scene with cowboy boots, blue jeans, longnecks and loud country/western music.

Now picture the second floor of the Harveys Lake American Legion Hall.

Every Thursday night at 7 p.m., the Harve’s Lake American Legion Dance Class turns the second floor of the hall into a place where a Texan would feel right at home.

The dance group is led by Dave Zimmerman, of Dallas, who says he’s been dancing for 47 years. Zimmerman teaches country/western line dancing to the group.

dancers. An uneven number of men and women makes no difference. And judging by the range of ages in Zimmerman’s group, line dancing is for everyone.

According to Zimmerman, the group has been in existence for five years and performs regularly, its last performance being at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in WilkesBarre on Jan. 6. He says the group has over 60 members but a usual Thursday night class attracts from 12 to 22 dancers.

Zimmerman runs the group because, “It’s good exercise.”

Her mom’s memory will live on at MMR Jr. Prep

By SARAH HITE Dallas Post Correspondent

The younger of two children, 24-year-old Carla Reino had a career in the financial field after earning degrees in marketing and finance. But after a brief stint working with children, daddy’s little girl has grown up and started her own business.

MMR Jr. Prep, a daycare facility for pre-school and schoolage children, was the brainchild of Reino’s mother, Margaret M. Reino, who died in May 2011, after battling cancer.

The facility’s initials, MMR, are the same as Carla’s late mother’s initials, whom she credits with inspiring her to make a change and work with children.

“I love kids, and she always said I should be working with kids,” said Carla, of Shavertown. “I was working at a bank before my mother died and it just wasn’t fun anymore. I thought I should enjoy going to work.”

Carla said she and her father,

James Reino Jr., looked for months for a building to house the budding business. The building they eventually found, located on Wyoming Avenue in Forty Fort, was a perfect fit for the facility – in more ways than one.

“The man who owns the building, his daughter was best friends with my wife,” said James. “And the building was more than perfect.”

After purchasing the building in late November, Carla and her father worked hard to renovate it or the Jan. 18 opening date.

“She painted everything herself,” James said, showing off the jungle-themed facility. Each room has its own animal theme, from zebra stripes and leopard spots in the older students’ room to hand-painted gorillas and canopy trees in the play room.

“My staff and I all like animal print so that’s how we came up with the theme,” said Carla.

preneur runs every aspect of the business herself while still finding time to interact with the children.

“I can tell you, when she comes home now, she’s the happiest I’ve ever seen her,” said James. “I don’t need to get a condo (in the south). I’d rather invest in my daughter. I’m very proud of the woman she’s become.”

Carla said the facility maintains a calm and fun atmosphere that promotes healthy social interaction.

“We have small class sizes so kids can get that one-on-one attention,” she said. “We’re all about being calm. We don’t think yelling does anything, and we try to guide the students to do the right thing and understand, if they did something wrong, why it’s wrong.”

The building also features a state-of-the-art security system featuring video cameras and locks which require a special key fob to be opened.

hey jumped into the frigid waters of Harveys Lake last Saturday – all in the name of helping a sick child.

Pat Doyne, of Luzerne, learned about Polar Bear Plunges from a gentleman he met from Pittsburgh and decided to coordinate one of his own, donating the money to a charitable cause.

Doyne didn’t have to go far to find that charitable cause as the daughter of a fellow employee at Mohegan Sun Casino is in need.

Two-year-old Jasleen Glover, of Wilkes-Barre, whose father Anthony works at the casino, is being treated for leukemia at Janet Weis Children’s Hospital in Danville.

Doyne decided to donate the money from the plunge toward Jasleen’s medical expenses.

Participants of the Polar Bear Plunge hurry out of the water after their dip in Harveys Lake.

Customer service stressed at Humphreys’ Bootery

Business that started in 1940 as Humphrey’s Kiddie Shop in Kingston is now located in Back Mountain Shopping Center.

By ELIZABETH BAUMEISTER ebaumeister @theabingtonjournal.com

Since its inception in 1940 as Humphreys’ Kiddie Shop in Kingston, the business now known as Humphreys’ Bootery, located in the Back Mountain Shopping Center, Shavertown, morphed through many stages until becoming what it is today.

Third generation owner Jay Humphreys, 52, of Dallas, took over the shop from his father, Edward “Buzz” Humphreys, in 1988. He said one of his favorite parts about running the store is putting out new products as they come in.

In addition to women’s, men’s, children’s and infants’ footwear, the store features women’s handbags, hats, scarves, gloves, jewelry and other accessories, a product line that is constantly growing.

Humphreys’ favorite part of the job is the customers.

“The thing that keeps me coming back day in and day out,” he said, “is the people.”

And what keeps the people coming back, according to Humphreys, is a combination of three things: service, quality and comfort.

“We take good care of our customers,” he said. “They know if they have a problem, they can come talk to us and we’ll take care of it.”

But he said problems are rare, as the staff sets out to make the

customers happy from the beginning. And part of making customers happy is providing them with an excellent product that fits.

That’s where the “quality and comfort” come in.

The shop features brands such as UGG, Birkenstock, Merrell, Dansko, Brighton and more.

Dallas High School field hockey standout Evonna Ackourey has been voted to the National Field Hockey Coaches All-American Hockey Association and earned a four-year scholarship to Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. From left, first row, are Margia Ackourey, mother; Evonna Ackourey and Dan Ackourey, father.

Two Dallas High School athletes are Division I-bound

By TOM ROBINSON For The Dallas Post

Evonna Ackourey made sure to assess other options, but the field hockey player knew from the start that Quinnipiac University was where she wanted to continue her academic and athletic careers.

Jason Simonovich was closing in on a final decision between two other schools when the University of Maine entered the mix and persuaded the football player to head there.

The two Dallas High School athletes took different paths to their final decisions before celebrating the landing of Division I athletic scholarships with signing ceremonies in the school’s gymnasium Wednesday afternoon on the first day of the latest NCAA Letter of Intent signing period.

“I tried to look everywhere and

keep my options open, but it really came down to Quinnipiac was the number-one choice all along,” said Ackourey, who has headed to the Connecticut school for clinics and camps since her sophomore year. “No one else could compare.

It was a perfect fit.”

Simonovich preferred playing defense in college when the Maine coaches convinced him to consider coming there as an offensive recruit at tight end.

“A couple of months ago, I was down to Ursinus and Monmouth as my two college choices,” he said. “Then, I got an e-mail from one of the Maine coaches that they were really interested and wanted me to play tight end.”

Ackourey is likely to play forward in college but both Dallas athletes were attractive to college recruiters because of their versatility.

LL wrestling streak halted at 17 victories

By TOM ROBINSON For The Dallas Post

Lake-Lehman extended its winning streak all the way to 17 before falling, 38-28, to Western Wayne in the District 2 Class AA Dual Meet Wrestling Championships final on Feb. 2 at Pittston Area.

The Black Knights reached the district championship match for the second straight year with two comfortable wins on their home mat the night before. The Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 champions lost to Western Wayne in the final for the second straight year.

“They have a great team,” Lake-Lehman coach Tom Williams said of the Lackawanna League Division 2 champions.

Derek Dragon had pins in all three bouts to lead the Black Knights in the tournament. He put away two opponents in under a minute and managed to rally from behind to stop Thomas Bogarowski of Hanover Area in 3:52 at 182 pounds of the semifinal victory over Hanover Area.

“As soon as I rolled through, I really felt like I was going to be able to get him,” said Dragon, who posted the pin shortly after a reversal.

Austin Harry and Brady Butler each had two pins and a forfeit victory. Zeb McMillan went 3-0 with a pin, a major decision and a forfeit.

The Black Knights handled Lackawanna Trail, 52-21, in the quarterfinals and Hanover Area, 48-18, in the semifinals on Feb. 1.

“I always wanted to get a scholarship. Probably my sophomore year when I started taking academics very seriously, I realized that I have the size and I think I have the speed and ability to play college ball.”

stick skills,” Dallas coach Kylie Fisher said. “We moved her around to all positions in her four years.

“She has an all-around general skill level and she can be a great utility player. They can put her anywhere they need to.”

Ackourey generally moved between midfield and forward during her career at Dallas. She played left midfield much of her senior year, in which she served as the only captain on an 11-4

team, but moved to the forward line when the Lady Mountaineers needed more scoring punch.

Simonovich excelled at tight end and defensive end. He was an all-star in his first season after moving from defensive back and continued to show skills he had used as a wide receiver earlier in his career.

“He’s got the physical size and strength,” Dallas coach Bob Zaruta said of the 6-foot-4, 230-pounder. “He combines that with agil-

ity, speed and versatility.

“You can look at what we did with him. He not only played wide receiver. He played tight end. We had him in motion as a lead blocker.”

Simonovich finished with 25 catches for 567 yards and eight touchdowns. He also made 24 tackles for losses, including 13 sacks.

“I’m going to miss defense a lot,” he said. “It was a lot of fun.”

Maine plays on the Football Subdivision Championship level, which was formerly known as Division I-AA. The Black Bears went 4-4 in the Colonial Athletic Association and 5-6 overall.

Quarterback Marcus Wasilewski, a Mount Carmel graduate, hosted the recruiting visit that convinced Simonovich the school was the right fit for him.

“I always wanted to get a scholarship,” said Simonovich, who plans to study business. “Proba-

bly my sophomore year when I started taking academics very seriously, I realized that I have the size and I think I have the speed and ability to play college ball.”

It was a week of accomplishments for Ackourey.

Before formally accepting her scholarship offer, Ackourey learned she had been named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association Academic AllAmerican team.

“I felt at home at Quinnipiac,” said Ackourey, who will major in biology. “It had everything that I wanted – the great academics and great athletics.”

Ackourey scored five goals and assisted on four others as a senior while earning second-team Class AA all-state honors.

Dallas graduate Lauren Zimniski was a team captain last season as a fifth-year senior, helping Quinnipiac go 5-2 in the Northeast Conference and 12-7 overall.

The Mountaineers moved up from Division 2 to Division 1 as part of Wyoming Valley Conference realignment just as graduation forced them to replace the entire starting lineup from a championship team.

That combination has made for a difficult season, but one in which coach Doug Miller has seen the promise of better times ahead.

“We are so young this year,” Miller said. “There have been times when we’ve played our best basketball with four sophomores and a freshman on the court.

“That’s a good thing for down the line, but it’s not always the best for right now.”

With District 2’s return to open tournaments this year, Dallas moved into playoff action after completing the regular season Thursday night at Wyoming Valley West.

District playoffs will be a new experience for all but leading scorer Matt Ross, the only Mountaineer remaining who appeared in a tournament game last year.

“It’s going to be a totally new experience for pretty much the entire team,” Miller said.

It will also be an important

experience if the Mountaineers eventually make the improvement their coach anticipates.

“We’re talking next year that we’re going to be much more competitive,” he said, “and I think we’re looking two years from now where we really want to compete for league and district titles.

“Everything we’re doing this year, we’re trying to help with that.”

The Mountaineers entered Friday night just 1-10 in the division and 2-17 overall.

Their youngest player, 14year-old freshman Suk Mathon, played a big role in one of those wins with 12 points and 13 rebounds in a holiday tournament game against Wyoming Area.

“He’s 14 years old and he’s playing against 17 and 18 year olds,” Miller said of the 6foot-7 center. “That’s a huge maturity and experience difference.

“There’s a very high ceiling for his talent.”

Mathon leads the team with 7.5 rebounds per game while also averaging 5.5 points.

Ross, a sophomore, leads in scoring with 14.5 points.

Allen Fell, another sophomore who has been sidelined by a leg injury, is second in both categories with 8.7 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.

They are three of the reasons Miller is hopeful about the future.

“We spend a lot of time talking about the future,” Miller said. “Other coaches and people who have been

around the game see that we’re making progress and getting better.

“We’re staying positive and the kids’ attitudes have been very good this year, despite the record. The kids continue to work hard every day.”

In the process, they are helping convince their coach that better days remain ahead.

James, who has another daughter, 27-year-old Megan, a teacher in North Carolina, doesn’t have any grandchildren of his own yet, but said visiting the facility is like spending time with 20 grandchildren.

“Every time I come in, the kids call me, ‘Jimmy,’” he said.

dancers proves there’s a lot more than exercise that draws them to the class.

Linda Festa, of Shavertown, has been a member of the group almost five years. When asked why she participates, she said, “Hate the gym, love the dance.” She encouraged others to join the group. “We

have a great time.”

Festa said no prior dancing experience is needed. “Anybody can do this. Dave is very patient.”

Tom McDermott, of Bear Creek, has been in the group for five years, as well. Although he is not the only male in the group, he was the only male dancer at a recent Thursday night rehearsal. His comment on the class was, “It’s fun!”

Elisabeth Samanas, 28, of Shavertown, joined the group

four years ago and thinks she might be the youngest member. “I started line dancing in college. I’d rather this than a bar. It’s a lot of fun.”

The group learns new dances regularly. At a recent class, Zimmerman taught the group a new dance called “Drinking Champagne.” But old favorites like “Achy Breaky Heart” bring the dancers to their feet, too.

In addition to Zimmerman, Toni Weiss and Larry Wright are also instructors for the class.
