Last October when Dallas Moun-
taineer Danny Williams suffered a
broken femur while playing in the
Dallas-Nanticoke game, he had
little hope of playing football again.
When he was first admitted to the
hospital with the injury, doctors told
him he wouldn’t be able to lift
weights for 18 months and that
there would be no football for at
least two years, if ever.
A dedicated player since junior
high school, Danny was severely
depressed by the news but his twin
brother, Dale, refused to accept the
doctor’s prognosis. He wouldn’t let
Danny give up. When it was neces-
sary that Danny have a pin in his
leg, a second doctor told Danny that
it didn’t look good for Danny’s
return to football, but Danny
encouraged by his brother Dale,
refused to believe that.
He wanted to play football in his
senior year and became determined
to do so. It was a long road back-of
doing everything he was told to do
in the hospital, following his
doctor’s orders and adhering to a
special diet.
The first good news he heard was
that he didn’t need a cast because of
the way that the femur was broken.
Danny began drinking lots of milk
and orange juice, took calcium and
Vitamin C and followed every diet
recommended by doctors and nutri-
tionists. He was a hospital patient
for two weeks and when he was
discharged, Danny left on crutches.
. He was on these for about 10 days,
then used only one crutch for
approximately two weeks, then a
cane.
“Danny never gave up,” said
Dallas Varsity Coach Ted Jackson.
“Despite having a steel bar in his
leg, he kept working out as best he
could and in two months his medical
report was good. In six months the
doctor said his recovery was
remarkable, far better than
expected, and in June of this year,
doctors gave Danny the ‘okay’ to
play football.
‘‘He and his twin brother, Dale,
are two of the hardest working kids

gold medal
hockey team
Two Back Mountain girls were
members of the Division 2 field
hockey team that took the gold
medal at the Pennsylvania Key-
stone Games at Penn State’s Main
Campus the weekend of August 8-10.
Lori Warneka, a junior at Dallas

during the games. -
The Division 2 team won the gold
medal by defeating Division 3 by a
2-1 score with Slocum scoring one
goal and Warneka scoring the
second goal. Division 2 tied with
Division 1 by a 1-1 score with a girl
from Reading making the goal. The
team defeated Division 4, 7-0, with
Warneka scoring one of the seven
goals and Slocum coming through
with several assists.
Both girls played field hockey in
junior high school and are now
members of the varsity teams at
their schools. Warneka plays under

Security
measures
are taken
Security renovations at the Dallas
Township Municipal building should
be complete within the next month,
according to Dallas Township Police
Chief Carl Miers.
Miers said that one-way windows,
which would allow visibility only
from the inside to the outside are in
the process of being coated and that
an electric door lock has already
been installed.
The lock, which is located at the
second door after entering the build-
ing, will automatically be secured
ular business hours. Anyone wishing
to enter the building during the
-night can still do so, but only as far
as the second door. Only after they
“have been properly identified will
they be allowed to enter.
The township is also contemplat-
ing whether to replace the door
directly leading to the police office
or to install teller type windows.
Proposals for low-circuit TV devices
are also being discussed.
In addition, the security gate
located at the Upper Demunds road
entrance will be locked and chained,
prohibiting anyone from entering. A
security system to detect break-ins
has also been installed.

season.
on the team,” said Jackson. ‘‘Dale
has gained over 30 pounds and plays
guard and inside linebacker. Danny
has gained about 20 pounts and
plays tight end and outside line-
backer. They are dedicated leaders
and co-captains, and fierce competi-
tors.”
Danny and Dale, sons of Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel Williams of Shaver-
town, are seniors at Dallas High
School. Danny started playing foot-
ball in junior high school while Dale
first joined the team when he was in
10th grade. Dale is also a fine
wrestler. Both brothers also enjoy
weightlifting.
It was a freak accident that
caused Danny’s injury. He and a
teammate were making a tackle in
the game when the other boy’s leg
swung around and hit Danny’s leg.
According to some of the team
members, the snap could be heard
all over the field.
Danny said he didn’t do any
formal type of therapy. He just
went back to the doctor regularly
and the second time he went, the
doctor told him he could lift light
weights. Danny started lifting
with encouragement,” said Danny.
“He kept after me to stick with it.
We worked out together with
weights at home. Dale can bench
press 300 pounds and I can press
260.”
Dale weighed about 130 pounds
when in 10th grade, 150 in 11th and
this year goes about 200. He said he
gained the weight by lifting weights
and drinking “lots” of milk shakes.
Danny lsot about 20 pounds during
his stay in the hospital, going down
to about 150 pounds but since Janu-
ary he has gained 25 pounds and
now goes about 175 or 180.
Danny’s parents realize how
much playing football means to
Danny, so they stand behind him all
the way. r
“With that steel bar in my leg, it’s
going to hurt the other guy more
than it will me if I’m hit,”’ said
Danny. The pin doesn’t come out
until the end of this year.
How does the team feel about
Danny’s return? Their attitude
speaks louder than words. It takes
only a few minutes around the
Williams’ twins and their team-
mates to realize how happy they are
that Danny is back.
Danny’s attitude is great, the
team’s attitude is great, practice is
going well and Danny says “We
should be competitive.”’ Dale nods
in agreement.

Thousands of tax preparers find
their work not only gives them
extra income, but satisfaction in
being able to help others.
H&R Block has been teaching
tax preparation for over 30 years
and is now offering its basic
income tax course starting Sep-
tember 3rd and 4th. Morning and
evening classes are available.
Because income taxes have
become increasingly complicated
over the years, many people are
looking for help with tax situations
they don’t understand. Working as
a tax preparer is one of the few
ways you can make money and
also get job satisfaction by helping
others. Thousands of tax preparers
tell us that the best part of their
job is the pleasure they give
people by saving them money on
their tax returns.
Classes are held over a 13 week
period. An experienced Block
instructor will guide students
through various phases of income
tax preparation. Classwork will
include discussion, practice prob-
lems and actual experience pre-
paring individual tax returns. New
tax laws will be explained.
Qualified course graduates may
be eligible for a job interview with
H&R Block when the course is
complete. Many people feel
employment with Block gives
them the freedom of flexible
hours. Block, however, is under no
obligation to offer employment,
nor are graduates under any obli-
gation to accept employment with
H&R Block.
One low course fee includes all
textbooks, supplies and tax forms
required for class. Certificates and
7.5 continuing education units will
be awarded upon successful com-
pletion of the course. Registration
forms and a brochure for the
income tax course may be
obtained by contacting the H&R
Block office at 211 Wyoming Ave.,
Kingston, 288-9367. Courses are
being offered in five area loca-
tions.
