All-Stars
Two girls hurt

The sixth annual Dallas Kiwanis
All Star softball game, won 11-4 by
the East, Monday afternoon, was
marred by severe injuries to two of
the West's players when they col-
lided in the fourth inning.
Wyoming Seminary’s rightfielder
Donna Zavada and Valley West
shortstop Debbie Pearn suffered
severe facial injuries and were
knocked unconscious from the eolli-
sion while trying to field the ball.
Pearn had caught the ball, but it
was knocked from her hand in the
accident.
The game was held up for at least
45 minutes while ambulance person-
nel treated the girls on the field,
then transported them to Wilkes-
Barre General Hospital for further
treatment. Pearn was treated for
lacerations on her nose and
released. Zavada was treated for a
split lip which needed stitches, then
admitted as a patient where she still
was on Tuesday.
First baseman Sandy Dicton of
Lehman said the girls were coming
at each other so hard they couldn’t
possibly stop and when they col-
lided, it sounded like two bats hit-
ting together.
After much debate between
coaches of both the East and West
squads, they decided to continue the
game for the sake of the other
players on both teams, but it was
obvious to fans that the kids’ spirits
were down and neither team played
with the same intensity. Players
had to be moved into positions they
had never played and the shock
dampened the morale of players
and coaches.
Tracy Walton of Hazleton was
named MVP for the East and Donna
Nicholson of West Side Tech took
MVP for the West team, going two-
for-four at the plate and collecting
two RBI's.
The East took an early 5-0 lead in
the first inning with a double by
Kim Sovan. She went to third on
Pam McGrath’s foul and scored
when Diane Madl drove out a triple.
Pitcher Walton knocked in Madl
with a single to centerfield and went
to second on Terri Miller's wild
pitch. Denise Bralczyk took first on
a walk and both runners ‘advanced
on another wild pitch. Pauline Polny
went to first on an error and Walton
scored. Another wild pitch moved
up the runners, then Candy
McGarry took base on an error and
two runners scored. McGarry was
thrown out trying to steal second
and Chris Yencha struck out to end
the inning.
The West scored two runs in the
bottom of the first when Sandy
Dicton walked and Jill Radzinski hit
into a fielder’s choice. Radzinski
moved to second on a wild pitch and
went to third on Debbie Pearn’s
single to centerfield. Pearn moved
to second on the throw and both
runners scored when Donna Nichol-
son doubled to right field. Donna
Zavada went to first on an error and
Nicholson moved to third. Zavada
stole second but Kim Menkavitch
fouled out and Laura Maturi
grounded out in the infoeld to retire
the side.
Neither team scored in the
second, but West scored a third run
in the bottom of the third frame
when Nicholson hit a sacrifice fly to
right field to score Pearn, who was
on third with a triple.
East scored three runs in the top
of the tragic fourth. Renee Pawlush
took first on an error and went to
second on a wild pitch. McGrath
was out on a pop fly in the infield
A plaque was awarded to George
McCutcheon, Dallas Kiwanis, who
was the founder of the East- West
All Star game, which is comprised
of seniors of Wyoming Valley Con-
ference high schools.
Coach Flossie Finn's Lady Rebels
of Dallas defeated Parsons Girls
softball team, 6-1, Sunday, June 16,
behind pitcher Kim Eckley who
gave up only three hits, fanning four
and walking only one.
Cindy Slocum was the power
hitter for the Rebels driving out
three-for-three, one of them a home-
run. M. Ryneski, second baseman,
knocked out two-for-three and
colected one RBI. Scoring for the
Rebels were Slocum, Menkavitch

Lake-Lehman football coach Mark
Kirk, whose resignation was
accepted unanimously by the board
at the June 10 meeting, was asked
to resign, Kirk told The Post.
“When I walked in to the high
school principal’s office the last day
of school, Principal John Zaleskas
and Athletic Director Rodger
Bearde asked me to resign. They
thought because I had been apply-
ing for other positions that I
wouldn’t be around in July or
August when football training was
drawing near,” said Kirk, who has
been at Lake-Lehman for the past
four years.
“I did apply for a coaching posi-
tion at a school in Delaware about
three times the size of Lake-
Lehman but when I looked into it, I
knew they had already decided to
hire one of their assistant coaches.
Then I applied for an assistant
coach’s position at Shippensburg
University and was notified in April
that I had the job, but I needed full-
time employment in addition to the
coaching. I was unable to find a
fulltime position so by May I had
decided to remain at Lehman. I
would never let the kids nor the
district down by leaving in July or
August.”
Kirk said that since the Lake-
Lehman District is small and he is
consists of approx.

still young he believed now was the
time to try to better himself and
that is why he applied for positions
in larger districts or at the college
level.
“When I made up my mind in
May to remain at Lake-Lehman, I
was looking forward to the coming
season. With the new divisional
program coming up I felt the team
could be more successful. They are
a great bunch of kids and work
hard. Last season they did a tre-
mednous job of playing both ways. I
don’t believe there are many kids
who could do that.” 3
Kirk said he doesn’t want the kids
nor the fans to think that he is
walking away from them; that he
appreciates the cooperation he has
received in the years he has been at
Lake-Lehman. He still has his
teaching position in the district and
believes that he will be there
although he will not be coaching. He
is disappointed in the administra-
tion’s attitude in recommending
that he resign but said that if the
situation were reversed, he might
take the same position.
Zaleskas said he didn’t believe
that Kirk had been happy at Lake-
Lehman and that he never appeared
to have adjusted to the area.
“He always siad he would like a
coaching position at the college
level and probably would have
accepted the position at Shippens-
burg if he could have found a
