The Lake-Noxen Class of 1960 and Lehman-Jackson Class of 1959 went through a lot of rsts together. They voted to choose the rst 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 wasnt 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. Its 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 rst 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.

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 didnt want. I liked maroon and gold, he said. But I got used to black and gold eventually.
Al Niezgoda, 70, of Dover, Del., said the Lehman schools class colors were once red and blue, and the districts wellknown Black Knight mascot was once another erce 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
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 knights 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 wasnt a good singer. I just joined to meet girls.

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.

After year of changes, Mountaineers prepare to work for second-year coach Zaruta

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 eld. 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 Zarutas 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. Theres 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 rst 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. Were 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 lling in on defense, along with junior defensive
back Mike Shutlock. All have played, Zaruta said. They got some good action last year and theyre going to need to step up. The remaining lineup spots will have inexperienced players, including the possibility of some stepping in directly from last years winning freshmen team. The rst-year players have some signicant 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, were that much more ahead. If you asked the younger players, they would say its just like a rehouse with everything owing 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.
Sept. 14 against the It looks like Berwick is Berwick team that Zaruta loaded with talent, very said could be the division deep with a very large rosfavorite. ter, he said.
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. Im 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. Its a luxury, Gilsky said. And the crazy thing is that we only have six seniors. Were 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
seminals. 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. Were 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 didnt 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 backeld, 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. Were 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 lling 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. Gilsky expects Wyoming Area, Bill Tarutis | For The Dallas Post GAR and Meyers, which all nLake-Lehman football seniors, from left: Bobby Wright, Brady Butler, Dustin ished .500 or better, to remain Jones, Kyle Romanofski, Pete Borum, and Josh Winters. tough among Wyoming Valley Conference Class AA teams Sept. 13 - at Wyoming Area, 7 p.m. because of the large number of LAKE-LEHMAN Sept. 20 - HOLY REDEEMER, 7 p.m. returning athletes in the conferSept. 27 - at Meyers, 7 p.m. ence this season.
