Tie SDALLASCP0ST Vol. 102 No. 47 Tuesday, November 26, 1991 Sports\Week Bl School news Hl Classified HM Calendar Lady Mountaineers plan to be contenders in basketball By FLORENCE FINN Sports Correspondent Dallas Women's basketball team under head coach Kit Karuza, should be in the pack for league honors once they have gained some much-needed experience. With only one returning Varsity senior, Wendy Cave, the Moun- taineers will need to make the most ofveterans Valerie Prothero, Wendy Kerr, Kelly McIntyre and Missy Pomerinke. “We may be slow starting due to inexperience, but we have good S and more height than last year,” Karuza explained. For the first time this year, the coach will bring his ninth grade players up to play on the senior high level. This he believes will eventually help the total program by allowing the seventh and eighth graders more playing time against older, more competitive players. With the addition of eight fresh- men, Karuza boasts a 25 player squad. “We have some nice ninth and 10th grade players with whom I'm impressed,” Karuza said. “Laura Seidel, Tara Colleen, and Jennifer Daneski may be playing initially.” As it is now, the team has been practicing without the hockey players who were involved in play- offs. Kelly Janoski, Theresa Math; ers and Cindy Maiers will not get much rest from their previous hockey season before training for basketball. Inexperience or not, the Mounts will be contenders. “I'm impressed with the attitudes of this year’s group. They're working hard and willimprove. We're a physical team that can run and keep coming at our opponents.” Four returning seniors give Lady Knights base of experience By FLORENCE FINN Sports Correspondent Lake-Lehman’'s Women's bas- ketball team will be graced with four returning varsity players and several who have seen varsity ac- tion. Seniors Jen Smith, Heidi Wenrich, and Jen Gable will lead the well-rounded Knights squad. “We could use any combination of 11 different players and I would feel comfortable,” head coach Joe Martini offered. “There will be no ge standout that a team could: r and thereby take the game ®. We're pretty well balanced. Re of our starters is capable of scoring in double figures.” While Lake-Lehman has some veterans, there are also some inex- perienced ball handlers due to the youth of many players. However, Coach Martini feels that his team is versatile in that it can play zone, handle the press, and run with the best of them. fgith the return of juniors Joii¥nna Miller, Dyan Dymond, Cherub Honeywell and Bridget Bozeman, and sophomores Deb- Coslett, Heather Gray and hee Hynick, Lake-Lehman has depth, but a cautious Martini claims that they need to play an- other team before making any predictions. While he expressed that Bishop O'Reilly would be strong, he felt that it would be anybody's league after that. Lake-Lehman will open with Crestwood on Dec. 5 at home. 1991-92 LAKE-LEHMAN GIRLS BASKETBALL Dec. 5 Crestwood Home Dec. 7 Wyoming Area Home Dec.10 West Side Tech Home Dec.13 G.A.R.

(Post photo/Grace R. Dove) Hunters ready for deer season By GRACE R. DOVE Post staff With the statewide deer popula- tion estimated at more than one million, the Pennsylvania Game Commission has issued approxi- mately 1.2 million general hunting licenses statewide for the season that opens December 2. According to Game Protector Ed Zindell, the 16,000 antlerless deer permits allocated for Luzerne County are all sold out and bonus permits are difficult, if not impossible to find in any Pennsylvania county. For the entire state, a record 847,200 antlerless deer permits were is- sued. “In order to reduce the herd by 10% statewide, we need to harvest between 230,000 and 280,000 antlerless deer,” Zindell explained. “We usually figure that for every harvested doe, we issued approxi- mately seven antlerless permits. Our goal is toreduce the herd in 62 counties and stabilize it in the remaining four.” Zindell cited the mild winters of the past several years and a good mast crop (nuts, berries and other foods) for the increase in the deer population. Since fewer deer died during the winter, they were around to reproduce the following spring. Controlling the deer population is important and actually good for the herd, Zindell says. With a smaller population, fewer deer compete for food. With more food available to a smaller population, the deer will be stronger and health- ier. And hunting actually improves the species, allowing the smarter, stronger deer to live and repro- duce. “And it helps to cut back on road kills,” Zindell added. “An average of 42,000 deer are killed on the Pennsylvania roads each year.” With a record number of hunt- ers in the woods, the Game Com- mission has mandated that all deer hunters wear at least 250 square inches of daylight fluorescent or- ange material for their own protec- tion. An orange hat and vest meet the minimum requirements. Hunt- ers may wear orange camouflage as long as the orange content of the pattern is at least 250 square inches. Aleohol and gunpowder«don’t mix, the Game Commission says; it is illegal to hunt while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The commission also suggests that hunters make their hunting posi- tion known to other hunters, keep their gun's safety on until the in- stant that they shoot and make absolutely sure that they know what they are shooting at. The Game Commission offers a hunter education course free of charge; first year hunters cannot obtain a hunting license without showing proof that they have completed the course. Safe hunting practices also include knowing how to properly handle a gun. “Handle every gun as if it's loaded!” advise Bob and Frank Gelsleichter, owners of Hi- Score Gun Shop in Fernbrook. “No one has ever been shot with an empty gun.” They also recommend that hunters be as familiar with their firearms as possible. Frank Gelsleichter suggests that hunt- ers practice shooting at a commer- cially made deer-shaped target rather than a conventional sight- in target. “Deer don't come equipped with little bull's-eye targets on their vital spots. By shooting at something approximately the same size and shape as a deer, you'll get to know where these vital spots are and be able to make a clean shot,” he explained. The Gelsleichter brothers also urge proper gun maintenance. Oil on guns can thicken in cold weather, which can cause the action to slow down and the firing mechanism to fail. On a hot, dusty day, dust can combine with oil to form grinding compound which can create many problems in a gun's action. Cleaning all of the old oil out of the gun's action before tak- ing it into the field can avoid many gun problems. Sighting your gun in correctly is extremely important. “A large number of hunters who have scopes on their guns don't have them adjusted properly,” Frank Gelsleichter said. “If your crosshairs don’t look like sharp lines, if they look smudged or fuzzy, your scope isn’t adjusted right. A properly adjusted scope will make your shooting much easier.” He also recommends that hunt- ers read their scopes’ instruction booklets and familiarize themselves with their equipment. Have a pro- fessional gunsmith mount your scope on your gun and bore-sight it. While target practicing with it later, you might want to fine-tune the scope yourself if necessary.
