The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Thursday, October 18, 2001 11 | THE DALLAS POST Section 2 Boys add variety, challenge to Black Knights cheering squad | By LEIGH DODSON Post Carrespondent LEHMAN - Lake-Lehman Cheerlead- ing has some welcome, and different, additions to the squad this year. Jeff Taylor and Willy Weber have joined, and the team is going through many changes, all of which are good. Sandy Dobrowolski, the head coach, is used to an all girl-squad, and adding boys to the mix turns into quite a differ- ent venture. “We have to make changes to our program in order to accommo- date their differences,” she said, “but everything we learn we learn together.” The addition of males to the squad al- lows for more variety and the cheerlead- ers will be changing the nature of their competitions, entering as a co-ed squad rather than all girls. The squad is a very tight-knit com- munity, but it wasn’t long before the girls got over the initial awkwardness and the boys were “like brothers” to them. According to the two co-captains this year, Courtney Coletti and Shelly Wentzel, the males add more confidence to the team, and allow them to perform more versatile stunts. All of the girls “love the boys” and welcome the chal- lenging addition to the team. The student body is likewise accept- ing. Jeff and Willy both mentioned that they are “busted” on, but that every- thing is in fun. Those that would criti- cize them for being cheerleaders would be ¢ompletely discounted just by at- tending a practice. It takes a strong per- son to throw a girl 10 feet into the air. 9 be vie E 3 % mt 8 a : .. » % % A 4, POST PHOTO/HEATHER B. JONES Jeff Taylor and Willie Weber have added a new dimension to this year’s cheer- leading squad at Lake-Lehman High School. “® Frances Slocum deer hunt Dec. 3, will be first come-first served for 40 The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) will con- duct a regulated deer hunt at Frances Slocum State Park, Luzerne County; December 3, to help control the deer population within the park. The one-day hunt is for whitetail deer only, and will be conducted in areas not normally open to hunting. To ensure the safety of all park visitors, the park will be closed to all other activities this day. To participate, hunters must hold an unfilled Luzerne county antlerless li- cense. Only manually operated shot- guns 20 gauge or larger, or muzzleload- ing firearms will be allowed. The hunt will be limited to the first 40 hunters that arrive at the park starting at 6 a.m., and will not be chosen by lot- tery drawing as previous years. All hunters entering the park will be checked to ensure they have a valid un- filled Luzerne county antlerless license and appropriate firearm, and be asked to fill out a registration and safety ori- entation form before being assigned a designated parking area. “An overpopulation of deer prompted the need to expand hunting areas at Frances Slocum State Park. When the deer population is out of balance with the park land, it affects other wildlife, including the elimination of plant ‘species and destruction of habitats for birds and small mammals,” said Roger Fickes, director of the Bureau of State Parks. Fickes said the excessive deer herd is destroying park vegetation and needs to be controlled on a yearly basis. He said that after hunts at other state parks, the park staff usually sees a return of long absent wildflowers, shrubs, and small trees. Safety zones, no hunting areas, and park boundaries will be posted and strictly enforced. Extra park rangers and Pennsylvania Game Commission personnel will be stationed throughout the park area during this hunt. For more information about the regu- lated hunt, call the park office at (570) 696-3525. eIrem Temple CC Fall Classic results Results from the Fall Classic golf tournament at Irem Temple Country Club, held Oct. 14 First Flight: First: Bob Wall J.
