AN EDITION OF THE TIMES LEADER

Back Mountain Academy helps others manage grief Grief counseling sessions offered after deaths of seven young area residents in last year and a half. By DOTTY MARTIN dmartin@mydallaspost.com

The death of 18-year-old Thomas Lynch on Feb. 13, 2012, sent shock waves through the Back Mountain. Lynch, of Harveys Lake, passed away shortly after arrival at the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center Emergency Room, Plains Township, due to injuries received in a motor vehicle accident in Dallas Township. Since then, six other young Back

Mountain residents have died, four involving automobile accidents and two from cancer, leaving area residents nearly speechless and grasping for ways to cope with the losses. Candyce Fike, former chairperson of the foreign language department at Dallas High School, wants to help.

Thirteen years ago, Fike started what is now known as the Back Mountain Academy and is reaching out to anyone who feels they may need help with their grief. The academy is sponsoring grief counselor Elisabeth “Els” Heij, of New Milford who has trained internationally, for six sessions at the Dallas High School in an effort to bring the Back Mountain community together in its time of grief. The sessions, which are being offered free of charge, will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Mondays beginning July 1 and are open to anyone of any age. See GRIEF, Page 4

More accolades for Ted Jackson By DOTTY MARTIN dmartin@mydallaspost.com

There is life after Dallas High School football for Ted and Sandy Jackson. It’s not the same life they had for the 27 years Ted was head football coach of the Mountaineers but it’s a good life, nonetheless. The Shavertown couple recently returned from a motor trip to the state of Wyoming where they assisted daughter Jill, a magna cum laude graduate of Ithaca College, begin her ﬁrst clinical rotation in pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy. They’re dog sitting for son, Matthew, while he’s in San Francisco training for a new job involving robotic surgery equipment. Then there are those two beautiful little grandsons, Max and Jared,

the sons of oldest son Ted Jr. and his wife, Robin. Ted Sr. will be inducted into the Pennsylvania Scholastic Football

Coaches Association Hall of Fame in Harrisburg this Saturday, making him one of just 230 coaches to receive the honor since 1986. This year’s inductees will be introduced at the Big 33 football game, an annual contest between the best players from Pennsylvania and Maryland. “It couldn’t have come at a better time,” Sandy said of the award, referring to her husband’s dismissal last year by the Dallas School Board. Ted has chosen Ted Jr. to present the award to him and, although Jill and Matt are unable to attend the awards ceremony, the Jackson family will ﬁll several tables at the event with members of both Ted’s and Sandy’s families, as well as several friends, planning to attend.

t may have been day time but it was certainly a Knight of Mayhem as the LakeLehman fundraiser took place on June 1 on the high school grounds. Lucy the cow ended the Cow Pie Bingo competition with pin-point accuracy when she selected the winning plot at row 11, column 19, “owned” by Bill and Rita Cutter, after one hour and 15 minutes of play. Due to the heat and humidity - temperatures rose well into the 90s on Saturday - ofﬁcials changed the rules of Cow Pie Bingo and, instead of the square with the most volume being declared the winner, the square with the ﬁrst deposit was named the winning square. In addition to the bovine Bingo, there were children’s games, a rock climbing wall, an outdoor wrestling tournament, a pie-baking contest and the crowning of Little Miss Lake-Lehman.

David and Judy Rimple will be presented with the ﬁrst-ever Charles D. Lemmond Jr. Community Spirit Award at an awards reception set for Tuesday, June 18 at Lemmond Theater on the campus of Misericordia University. Established by The Dallas Post, the award is named after the former senator who passed away in 2012 and is designed to recognize a resident of the Back Mountain for his or her leadership and advancement of community spirit. The award honors those who endeavor to improve the lives of Back Mountain residents through oustanding community service, public service or philantrophy and embody Senator Lemmond’s commitment to doing the right thing, in the right way, for the right reason. The Rimples started the development of the Back Mountain Trail on the old Lehigh Valley Railroad bed.

The trail, being developed for over a decade, connects Luzerne Borough with Dallas Township. The awards reception is free and open to the public; however, reservations are necessary and will be made on a first-come/first-served basis.

Ted Jackson Sr., remembers 1993, his award-winning year as head football coach at Dallas High School when the team won a state championship title with a t-shirt presented to him by Dallas Post Photographer Charlotte Bartizek.

jackson Continued from Page 1

When given the opportunity to select a presenter, Ted. Jr. was a no-brainer. He played for his father at Dallas and the two coached side-by-side for years with Ted Jr. running the Mountaineers offense. The two will be together on the football field again this fall when Ted Sr. joins the coaching staff at Wyoming Valley West where Ted Jr. is the offensive coordinator. After being replaced at Dallas following a hotly-contested school board decision, Ted Sr. spent a year as a member of the Misericordia University football coaching staff when that school re-instituted the sport to its athletic program. “It was challenging,” Ted said of the time he spent with the Cougars. “All the kids were new to me. I was learning as much as they were, reading and learning a system that wasn’t my own. “The kids were great, though,” he added, indicating he had just concluded a spring practice session with the college players. As for the decision of the Dallas School Board, Ted says it was “absolutely wrong” to fire him. “They didn’t only lose me, they lost nine coaches,” he said, adding that all of his assistants left with him. “And, they didn’t follow their own protocol.” The Jacksons have a filed a lawsuit against the Dallas School District in the case. That aside, Ted and Sandy’s life has always and continues to revolve around football. Sandy was a regular at Dallas football games and, last year, became a fan of the Misericordia football team. Both Ted and Sandy attended Valley West football games because of Ted Jr.’s involvement with the team and Sandy, no doubt, will become a fixture at Spartans’ games this year. “My dad died during football season one

year,” Sandy said, “and we made sure to plan his funeral around the football schedule.” Daughter Jill arrived during a bye week of the year she was born and made her first public appearance at a Mountaineer football game when she was just two weeks old. Although his coaching style was sometimes controversial, Ted’s success on the football field cannot be denied. The livingroom of the Jacksons’ Belford Street home is filled with memorabilia from Ted’s coaching days at Dallas, a career that ended with a 231-76-3 record, making him the winningest coach in school history. In 27 seasons, his Mountaineer teams won 15 Wyoming Valley Conference titles, three District 2 titles, four Eastern Conference titles and the PIAA Class A state title in 1993. He produced undefeated regular seasons in 1994 and 2010 and his teams had a 24-game winning streak from 1993-1994. Ted is a 15-time Wyoming Valley Conference Coach of the Year, a Big 33 game assistant coach in 1995 and led the East to victory in 2001 as head coach of the PSFCA East/West Game. He was named Best High School Athletic Coach in the Back Mountain in The Dallas Post’s Best of the Back Mountain reader contest for five consecutive years from 2008-2013. He was also named Coach of the Decade by the Citizens’ Voice in 2009 and was inducted into the Luzerne County Sports Hall of Fame in 2011. Ted’s coaching style leads to some serious story-telling, a lot of which went on during a banquet honoring him last year and attended by more than 400 people. And both Ted and Sandy don’t hesitate to join in the story-telling. Ted will tell you his players were not allowed to remove their helmets during practice without permission from a coach, attesting to his strict disciplinary style. “I remember we lost to Crestwood one

time and we shouldn’t have,” he said. “I made them wear their helmets home. That’s when I got yelled at by mothers.” Sandy remembers a time when the Mountaineers played an afternoon game on a day the prom was being held in the evening. “The team had lost and Ted made them stay on the ﬁeld and practice,” she said, interrupting her husband when he began to tell the story. “All the mothers were waiting to take their kids home to get ready for the prom. I was waiting for Ted with my mom and dad. One of the mothers came up to me and said, ‘What’s wrong with your parents?’ I said, ‘Excuse me’ and the mother asked, ‘How could they let you marry a maniac like that?’” Stories like that have been told time and time again, some at the many weddings of former Dallas football players which Ted and Sandy have attended and many more will be told at the four graduation parties of Mountaineers players to which they have been invited this year. Strict discipline has been a part of Ted’s entire life and punishment for wrongdoings as a boy always involved getting a haircut. “When I did something wrong, I’d have to go to the barbership on a Saturday morning,” he said. “There was one chair, eight old guys and I’d have to wait my turn. It took me four hours to get a haircut. All my friends would walk by and laugh at me.” Although Sandy says people everywhere have been supportive and she has never heard a bad word about her husband in public, whether she’s at church or in the grocery store, both she and Ted sometimes feel like they’ve “been torn from the community.” The Jacksons, though, along with their children, have remained steadfast to each other and to Ted’s coaching career. The football community, obviously with Ted’s most recent accolades, continues to applaud his coaching ability.

YOUR SPACE

ince it’s ‘infrared’ season (i.e., summer), Dallas Post photographer Bill Tarutis shot these at Frances Slocum with his infrared camera. These are not Photoshop manipulations. There is a ﬁlter in the camera that blocks out all visible light (400-700 nm) and only lets infrared (>800 nm) reach the sensor. Green vegetation reﬂects a lot of infrared in full sun and appears white. Water and blue sky absorb infrared, so they look dark.

Dodgeball tourney raises funds for John Heinz Rehab The Sixth Annual Zachary Shoemaker Dodgeball Tourney will partner with local caregiver Heinz Rehab to raise funds to improve pediatric rehabilitation programming and services for children and families in our region. Teams of eight players are encouraged to register at dodgeball4zack.org by Wednesday, June 26. Cost is $15 per person. More than 300 dodgeball players are anticipated to compete in NEPA’s largest charity dodgeball tournament at noon on Sunday, July 14 at the Kingston Armory. Last year’s tourney brought 40 teams and raised $5,300; to date, the tourney has raised over $14,000. This family-friendly event has raised $14,000 for Zachary Shoemaker and his family to help ease the cost of Zack’s care after he was critically and permanently injured in a car accident that almost cost him his life. Instead, it cost him his quality of life. Money raised has helped the Shoemaker family purchase helpful equipment, medications not covered by insurance and assist with financial burdens that have resulted from the accident. Businesses are also asked to donate items to be included in the raffle auction. An in-kind items – a unique gift or experience, gift baskets, gift certificates, trips and activities – are greatly needed and truly appreciated. The Zachary Shoemaker Dodgeball Tournament began as a one-time relief effort to aid the Shoemaker family as their lives centered around Zack’s hospitalization and rehabilitation. While Zack’s parents were unable to work, Stef Sikora – Zack’s godmother and long-time friend of Traci and Jason Shoemaker – organized the first dodgeball tournament in July 2008 to help them through the difficult time. Family and friends encouraged her to continue hosting the tournament, based on the event’s success and recognition. Realizing that the Shoemaker family would face mounds of expenses, Sikora decided to make the tournament an annual event.

Dream Game Brian Stepniak, of Dallas, watches the Field of Dreams Game from the dugout.

By TOM ROBINSON For The Dallas Post

he Wyoming Valley Conference spent 3 1/3 innings June 2 searching for its ďŹ rst hit and ďŹ rst run in the inaugural Field of Dreams baseball game at PNC Field.

Greg Petorak of Dallas provided both, starting a comeback that allowed the WVC to force an extra inning before losing to the Lackawanna League, 8-6, in eight innings in the all-star game for high school seniors. Petorak started at second base and batted ďŹ fth in the game. He walked in his ďŹ rst at-bat. When Petorak came to the plate in the bottom of the fourth, the WVC was facing a 5-0 deďŹ cit and in danger of getting blown out of the game. Petorak singled to center ďŹ eld, took second on a wild pitch, went to third on a groundout and scored on an error. The WVC eventually used a ďŹ ve-run sixth inning, which included a hit and run by Tunkhannockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ty Weiss, to force a 6-6 tie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a high-energy dugout,â&#x20AC;? Petorak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys were into it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone on this team is capable of contributing. We just all grinded it out. We scored a few runs and got back into the

game.â&#x20AC;? Petorak enjoyed the experience of playing at the home of the Scranton/WilkesBarre RailRiders in a Sunday afternoon game that drew a paid crowd of approximately 500. He said the setting and crowd â&#x20AC;&#x153;is something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never experienced before, so it was nice.â&#x20AC;? The all-star game appearance was a re-

ward for a season in which Petorak batted .357 while scoring 19 runs and driving in 14 to help Dallas to within a game of ďŹ rst place in Division 2 of the Wyoming Valley Conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of my high school career and looking forward to the next level,â&#x20AC;? said Petorak, a Back Mountain American Legion player who plans to play at Ursinus College next season. Brian Stepniak, who is set to play at Division I Hartford College, also represented Dallas in the game. Stepniak started at ďŹ rst base, but did not bat or pitch in the game because he was slowed by a minor injury. During the season, Stepniak batted .340 with 19 RBI and was 6-2 with 58 strikeouts and a 2.52 earned run average as a pitcher. Three players from Tunkhannockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WVC Division 2 championship team were also part of the WVC roster. In addition to Weiss, who pitched a hitless inning with one strikeout and was was 1-for-1 with a walk and a run scored, Jeremy Lee started in right ďŹ eld and was 0-for-2 at the plate while Josh McClain went 0-for-1. Scranton Prepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chris Gaetano was 2-for3 with a triple, a stolen base and four runs scored to lead the Lackawanna League to its victory. He tripled and scored the winning run in the top of the eighth inning.
