Remembering firsts — many,manyyears later
Lake-Noxen, LehmanJackson classmates gather to share memories SARAH HITE
Dallas Post Correspondent
The Lake-Noxen Class of 1960 and Lehman-Jackson Class of 1959 went through a lot of firsts together. They voted to choose the first mascot and school colors for the Lake-Lehman School District when it combined in 1958. That tradition continued when many of those classmates celebrated their 71st birthdays during a casual reunion at Grotto Pizza on Friday, Aug. 9. “This is our third time meeting together,” said Gordon Dershimer, a 1960 Lake-Noxen alumnus. The 70-year-old from Harveys Lake said the group got together for its 50th anniversary reunion and then everyone decided to gather for a birthday celebration last year, as many of the classmates turned 70 years old. Now the tight-knit group keeps in touch throughout the year, thanks to modern technology and it wasn’t long before another reunion was planned. Dershimer enjoys socializing with his former classmates and had only kept in touch with a few before the 50th anniversary reunion. Beverly Wandel, 71, of Harveys Lake, said she keeps showing up to the reunions “like a bad penny.” “It’s fun to see all the old people - or should I say, past classmates,” she laughed. Wandel, a Lake-Noxen Class of 1959 grad, said one of her favorite high school memories was meeting her husband, Ray Wandel, when he came to the school for the first time in ninth grade. “He was cute,” she said. But her husband remembered the romance a little differently. “(She) liked my ‘49 Mercury,” he said. Frank Dudinski, 70, of Greentown, met his wife Donna later in life and out of the area, but the two share roots in the Back Mountain. “My wife lived in Dallas, so we always have a little rivalry about which team has had the (Old) Shoe more times,” said Dudinski.

Members of the Lake-Noxen Class of 1959 and Lake-Lehman Class of 1960 have a night out at Grotto Pizza at Harveys Lake.
The coveted trophy is a key point of rivalry between the two school districts, and the varsity football teams duke it out every November to see who will win the Old Shoe for that year.
Dudinski remembers voting to pick the school colors and the outcome was one he didn’t want. “I liked maroon and gold,” he said. “But I got used to black and gold eventually.”
mascot in the class yearbook. The 1960 Lehman school alum said he was always a good artist, and he even etched in a little dedication in the drawing to his sweetheart at the time, hoping no one would notice. “I was dating a girl at the time named Flo,” he said. “I wrote the name ‘Flo’ in the knight’s cape or on the horse somewhere for her. Now it sticks out like a sore
thumb when you look at it.” Other classmates had similar goals in high school when it came to impressing the ladies. Don Steltz, 74, of Sweet Valley, was no exception. “I just remember cutting class all the time to go hunting,” said Steltz of his extra curricular activities. “I was in the chorus, but I wasn’t a good singer. I just joined to meet girls.”

Al Niezgoda, 70, of Dover, Del., said the Lehman school’s class colors were once red and blue, and the district’s wellknown Black Knight mascot was once another fierce black character. “We used to have a Scottie dog as a mascot,” laughed Niezgoda. Seventy-one-year-old Jim Roberts, of Sweet Valley, was hand-picked to draw the new

Emergency Health Services Council (PEHSC) to recognize organizations that have made a significant contribution to Pennsylvania’s EMS System. The local organization was selected because it has worked cooperatively with surrounding community organizations and municipalities to make many changes that included increasing the level of service and facilitating a change from traditional EMS protocols to a new standard that brings a higher level of service to the community with quicker response times.
The public announcement of this year’s award recipients was scheduled to occur on Thursday, Aug. 15, and again on Thursday, Sept. 26, during opening ceremonies of the 36th Annual Pennsylvania State EMS Conference at the Lancaster County and Blair County Convention Centers respectively. The actual award presentation will occur on Nov. 23, in conjunction with the annual Pennsylvania Fire and Emergency Services Institute Dinner in Camp Hill.
Support for the chief Fundraiser dinner benefits Franklin Twp. fire chief who was injured in accident Members of the Back Mountain community came together on Aug. 10 in support of Harry Sweppenheiser III at a fundraiser spaghetti dinner held at the fire hall where Sweppenheiser spends so much of his time. The Franklin Twp. fire chief was critically injured in a July 22 vehicle accident during a hard rainstorm. There were warnings of flash flooding as the chief and his 11-year-old son, Kyle, traveled on Eighth Street. State police who reconstructed the scene Sue Redmond, left, and Robert Kile, Sr. of Mt. Zion Fire Company dish out said Sweppenheiser was not spaghetti in the Franklin Township Fire Company kitchen. speeding but pooling water on the windy road was enough to hydroplane his SUV into a treee. Kyle Sweppenheiser, who was not injured in the accident, helped to staff tables at the fundraiser. Sweppenherise is currently at a Philadelphia hospital undergoing therapy to regain use of his legs. He is expeted to be there for several weeks. Maureen Oremus, who organized the fundraiser dinner, said Sweppenheriser has an uncanny ability to handle more than one thing at a time. She said, although it is difficult, the Family of Franklin Township Volunteer Fire Co. Chief Harry Sweppenheiser III firefighters are carrying chat at his benefit spaghetti dinner.

Carl is a senior Yorkshire Terrier. Carl was surrendered because his owner was admitted into a nursing home. He has been well loved in a foster home since. Although on paper, Carl is 12 years old, you wouldn’t know it to see him. He is still full of life and, in fact, still acts like a puppy (except for the bad stuff, of course). We would love for Carl to spend his golden years in a home full of love, kindness and peace. Do you have

KAREN BOBACK
One legislator to represent all of Wyoming County HARRISBURG - All of Wyoming County and parts of Luzerne and Lackawanna counties will be served by one State Representative when redistricting takes effect. The 117th District now represented by 4th term State Representative Karen Boback (R) increases its footprint in the northern tier. “I am really excited about this reorganization as I seek my 5th term in office,” said Rep. Boback. “ My commitment is unwavering. I will continue to work alongside my colleague, and friend, Representative Sanda Major, as we transition into our new districts.” The redistricting map takes effect for Pennsylvania’s 203 House districts and 50 Senate districts in the 2014 Primary Election. “People are excited about redistricting. They are volunteering to work on my
campaign,” Boback said. Reverend Charles Gommer is Campaign Chairman for Friends of Karen Boback. “Karen Boback is always dedicated to the well-being of her constituents. She has the courage needed to take on the forces that threaten our communities,” said Reverend Gommer. State Rep. Sandra Major ( R - S u s q u e h a n n a / Wa y n e / Wyoming) will continue to represent the people in the 111th District as it now exists throughout 2014. State Rep. Karen Boback who currently serves a significant portion of Wyoming County said that she will be running for re-election in January 2014. The winner of the General Election will represent the new district beginning in 2015. “While I will certainly miss the district I have come to love, respect and represent for over six years, the new district is unique in that it represents who Karen Boback is,” she said. “I was born and raised in Lackawanna County, spent forty years of my professional life in Wyoming County, and have been an active resident of Luzerne County for fortyeight years,” Boback said. “Without a doubt this will be an asset in that I have always been an integral part of these communities.”

Dear Editor: On behalf of the Back Mountain Memorial Library’s 67th Annual Auction Committee, we wish to thank you for your support by providing news articles publicizing our events. The expertise of your staff writers for The Times Leader and The Dallas Post contributed in no small measure to our success and to the size of our crowds during this four-day period. Please know that your efforts are greatly appreciated. We hope to see you on the library grounds again next July as we prepare for the 68th Annual Library Auction.

LetteR to the eDitoR Dear Editor: I love starting my Sunday morning with The Dallas Post and coffee. It gives me a weekly overview on what is happening in our community. I would like to compliment Kristin Fino and the kind gentleman responsible for the article “One man’s kindness gives 12 infant puppies a second chance.” I know that to be true because from time to time I volunteer at the Blue Chip Farms Animal Refuge. What I see first of all is the love, attention and caring these animals get. If a vet visit is needed, it happens. I have also seen so many go to good homes because of their careful screening process, references included. There are darling cats and kittens who would also love to be adopted. I would encourage our community to learn more about this non-profit shelter and support this very special place right in our community. It is located just past Brace’s Orchard at 974 Lockville Road, Dallas. Secondly, a new neighbor in Dallas is the First Keystone Community Bank. On Aug. 3, the bank sponsored a “Community Service Day” where they offered free secure document shredding services. Many folks really appreciated that. Also present was The American Legion Dallas and other organizations. Thank you, First Keystone, for being such a good neighbor. Marilyn Gregorski Dallas

The Dallas Township Police Department (DTPD) received accreditation by the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission on May 31, marking accredited status for the agency from July 7, 2007 to present – the third three-year accreditation for DTPD. Accreditation is a progressive and timeproven way of helping institutions evaluate and improve their overall performance. A team of independent professionals is assigned to verify that all applicable standards have been successfully implemented. The process culminates with a decision by an authoritative body that the institution is worthy of accreditation. An on-site review and re-assessment of the Dallas Township Police Department was conducted on May 30 and 31. The assessment team was comprised of three members: team leader was Lieutenant Mark Shannon of the Norristown Police, who was assisted by Officer Rick Finicle of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Police and Lieutenant Richard McGarr of the
Lehigh University Police. The findings of the assessment team were confirmed by the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission on June 26, once again

After year of changes, Mountaineers prepare to work for second-year coach Zaruta TOM ROBINSON
DALLAS FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
For The Dallas Post
The Dallas High School football program will follow up a year of changes on the sideline with a season of new personnel on the field. The Mountaineers needed time to adjust with new head coach Bob Zaruta taking over for Pennsylvania High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame inductee Ted Jackson a year ago before running off a seven-game winning streak that carried over until their elimination in the playoffs. The challenge for Zaruta’s second season will be how quickly the new players can adjust with only three starters returning on each side of the ball and another demanding early-season schedule. Experience is bunched into two position groups, with all three returning offensive starters in the line and all three returning defensive starters playing linebacker. “There’s a lot of players contending for those other openings,” Zaruta said. Ryan Monk, Rocky Rutkoski and Luke Edwards return as starters in the offensive line. Mike Mihal, Bill Gately and Logan Brace are back at linebacker. Monk, a 6-4, 260-pound

tackle received all-star recognition last year as a sophomore. Rutkoski is a 6-4, 250-pound senior center. Edwards is a 6-1, 225pound senior guard. All three returning linebackers are seniors. Mihal is a 225-pounder who can also play tight end. Gately and Brace both gained experience at running back last season and are likely to wind up sharing the tailback position. Mike Olenginski could be at fullback. While the runners and lineup have some experience, the passing game will fall into entirely new hands. Junior Justin Mucha and sophomores Matt Harrison
and Ryan Martin went into the first full week of practice trying to land the starting position after all-star quarterback Ryan Zapoticky graduated. “Whoever gets that nod is not going to have any varsity experience,” Zaruta said. “We’re going to be very young there. The same with receiver. We got hit there with graduation pretty hard.” Monk became a bigger factor on defense in the line as the 2012 season progressed. Seniors Mark Michno, an end, and backs Chris Behm and Aaron Napkora earned letters last year while filling in on defense, along with junior defensive
back Mike Shutlock. “All have played,” Zaruta said. “They got some good action last year and they’re going to need to step up.” The remaining lineup spots will have inexperienced players, including the possibility of some stepping in directly from last year’s winning freshmen team. “The first-year players have some significant promise to them,” Zaruta said. “The key will be how quickly these young athletes can mature in terms of varsity experience.” The players who have been in the program for the past two seasons do not have to go through the experience of learning a
new coaching system and playbook. “It was easier from the standpoint of installing this year than it was last year,” Zaruta said. “Because of the returnees, we’re that much more ahead. “If you asked the younger players, they would say it’s just like a firehouse with everything flowing at them.” The Mountaineers open the season against the same three opponents they lost to by a total of 106-35 last year before picking up seven straight wins. They play consecutive road games at Wyoming Valley West and Abington Heights Aug. 30 and Sept. 7 before the home opener
Dallas linebackers Bill Gately, left, Mike Mihal and Logan Brace.

Experience tops Black Knight’s roster Dustin Jones, Pete Borum lead lengthy list of returnees at Lake-Lehman TOM ROBINSON ForThe Dallas Post
Depending on which of the multiple formations Jerry Gilsky places his Lake-Lehman football offense in and which rotation is being used, Gilsky says he has as many as 17 “starters” for 11 positions. “I’m uncomfortable with the word ‘starters’ because we run so many packages,” Gilsky said. “I have groups of guys I look at.” Fortunately for the Black Knights, they are loaded with players who gained experience a year ago on a team that advanced to the District 2 Class AA playoffs. “It’s a luxury,” Gilsky said. “And the crazy thing is that we only have six seniors. We’re still young. “We have a very good junior class.” Two-way, all-stars Dustin Jones and Pete Borum lead a lengthy list of returnees from a team that went 6-4 in the regular season before falling to eventual champion Wyoming Area in the district
semifinals. Jones is a 6-foot-1, 250-pound senior fullback and defensive lineman. Borum is a 6-7, 315-pound senior two-way tackle. Jones and Borum are part of a physical presence that puts the Black Knights in position to be a feared running team. Gilsky has spent part of the preseason trying to build a stronger passing game around a new quarterback. “We’re always going to run the ball,” Gilsky said. “We have to have two sides of the coin. We have to be able to pass the ball. “I felt like last year we really didn’t have many options throwing the ball. This year, we do. We made sure we worked on that in the offseason.” Juniors Josh Sayre and Antonio Ferrari, already starters in the defensive backfield, have been working at quarterback where Sayre may have the inside track on the position. Jones and Butler return at running back. Josh Winters and Jacob Yaple

are back at wide receiver. Kyle Romanofski, a starter as a sophomore before being hurt last season, will be in the lineup at both wide receiver and tight end. Zach Brucher, a 6-5, 250-pound sophomore, is another tight end along with Trevor Space. Bobby Wright and Joey Vigil are wingbacks for Lake-Lehman, which often operates from a wingT or double wing. Kody Pachamovitch will be a utility player. He has experience starting at tight end and may spend time at running back. Borum and guard Cory Hoyt return in the offensive line along with three players who started at times last season. Phil Hettes is a guard, Mason Little a tackle and Connor McGovern a center on an interior line that averages 249 pounds. The front of the 4-4 defense is made up entirely of veterans with Hettes and Alex Major joining Jones and Borum. “We’re only replacing one linebacker, one outside linebacker
and one safety from our defense,” Gilsky said. Butler is back at one linebacker spot and could be joined by Space and/or Pachamovitch. Winters, who started last year, will join Wright and Long in filling the two outside linebacker spots. Gilsky plans to use four players in a rotation at the three secondary spots. Sayre, who started at cornerback last season, may spend most of his time at safety. Ferrari is back at the other corner. Vigil, a corner, and Yaple, a safety, are the other defensive backs.

The Dallas Lions Club concluded its “Hometown Hero” project with the placing of approximately 100 banners of service men and women who served or are presently serving in the Armed Forces. Placement of the banners on poles throughout the borough was accomplished by the staff of Frontier Communications. This was the third and final year of the project. As was done in previous years, excess funds collected for the project were presented to the Michael Cleary Foundation which provides financial help to members of the Armed Forces and their family members. Shown above presenting the club’s check is project chairman Don Berlew, left, and Jack Cleary, president of the foundation. The check was presented to Cleary at the club’s annual “pizza meeting” at the Grotto at Harvey’s Lake.
