BACK MOUNTAIN YOUTH FOOTBALL hillips, Lombardo celebrate birthdays with big grid win C TEAM Dallas 8 Duryea The Dallas Junior Mounts won a tough game against the Duryea Wildcats on September 4 by a score of 8-0. Todd Phillips celebrated his birthday by scoring the game’s only touchdown in the third quarter on a l-yard run up the middle behind great blocking from Jack Zeyher, Alex Hajkow- ski and fellow birthday boy Fred- die Lombardo. JR Redmond recovered a fum- ble for Dallas in the second quar- ter to stop a Duryea drive. Redmond, Johnny Cantando and Taylor Bolesta headed a dominate Dallas defensive ef- fort that kept the Wildcats out of the endzone all day. D TEAM Dallas 22 Duryea 0 The Dallas Junior Mounts D- team ran their record to 2-0 with a victory over the Duryea Wild- cats on September 4. For the second consecutive week, Dallas scored a touch- down on the first play of the game. Running backs Ayden Berndt, Mitchell Burgess, Lucas Shultz and Jared Adamski scored three touchdowns and two 2-point conversions. The Junior Mounts nearly added a third 2-point con- version but the pass play to wingback Mitchell Burgess fell just short. Joe “The Missle” Peters and Brady Eggleston also had some carries during the second half with Eggleston breaking a long run and nearly scoring a touch- down. The offensive line and tight ends Junior Atherholt, Mason Calvey, Parker Bolesta, Nick Spencer, Joe Peters, Nick Fine and Sawyer Christman gave the running backs plenty of room to run by providing excellent blocking throughout the game. Once again, the defense was dominant in pitching another shutout. The defensive line of Brady Eggleston, Gavin Adam- ski, Pete Federeci, Ryan Cuba and Colby Kleintob penetrated the Wildcats offensive line and consistently disrupted their plays. Linebackers and defensive backs Mark Karcutskie, Lucas Shultz, Mitchell Burgess, Matt Esposito, Jared Adamski and Ayden Berndt kept the Duryea offense in check, giving up no big plays. The Junior Mounts face an early-season test as they meet the ' undefeated Swoyersville Sailors today. €.PORTS BRIEFS 1 Blast fastpitch teams seek new players The Ul2 and Ul4 Endless Mountains Blast fastpitch teams are still looking for a few qualified players to fill their 2012 rosters.

Darren Snyder said on the 76th floor, employees were in- structed to use the elevator in- stead of the steps. “He was seen on the 76th floor with most of the people on his floor, and that’s where they were when the second plane hit the World Trade Center, so it actual- ly hit above them,” he said. “Half of his group that he was with took the elevator and half of his group took the stairs. And the group that took the elevator (was) fine, and the group that took the stairs (was) never seen.” Keeping classroom composure That same day, in a classroom in Lehman Township, Bonnie Turchin was preparing with three other elementary teachers to instruct third-graders at Leh- man-Jackson Elementary. Turchin, of Shavertown, was supposed to be working at Ross Elementary, but the building had not yet been completed, and would not be for a few weeks. Fellow teacher Jeannie Wil- liams knocked on the door of the classroom she shared with an- other teacher to quietly tell Tur- chin the news. “We were all beside ourselves, but we decided not to tell the children,” said Turchin. “We didn’t want to let them know anything because it was too up- setting, so we went about our day. During our lunch time, we had access to TV, and the teach- ers watched on their own.” Turchin said it was difficult to continue as if nothing had hap- pened for the sake of the chil- dren, but having other teachers in the same classroom helped her keep her composure. “It was nerve-wracking, just not knowing all details,” she said. “We just were talking amongst ourselves about how it was such a horrible thing. It made me very, very nervous.” At Dallas High School, English teacher Catherine Wega was try- ing to keep her classes informed about what was happening about two hours away. She said it was at a time when the high school didn’t have cable access in all classrooms, and stu- dents weren't carrying cell phones as much as they do now. “Everybody’s sense of safety and security was going down with those planes,” said Wega. She said some of the teens in the class had family members in New York at the time, and tele- communications were down. “The kids were scared,” she said. Wega herself had a family member who could have been in danger at the time, and she said not until she found out the per- son was not near any of the sites where planes crashed, could she "breathe again." Responding to the tragedy Pastor Patrick Colladay, who was serving the Dallas Baptist Church at the time, was sitting in the Red Rooster Restaurant on the morning of Sept. 11, having breakfast with a friend. “Our waitress kept on coming in and out, telling us about the report,” he said. “...We didn’t re- ally know how to take her be- cause we were just talking about what we were talking about.” When the waitress told Colla- day the specifics about the Twin Towers, the pair went to the WRGN radio station to learn more about what was happening. The pastor called an emergen- cy meeting at the church that night to discuss the attacks. By the next morning he and a few other church members were on their way to New York City as part of the Southern Baptist Con- vention Disaster Relief Team to help feed emergency responders at Ground Zero. But that’s not all they provided for the thousands of people, from emergency responders to survi- vors, at the site. “Our help was spiritual, emo- tional and psychological. It was an opportunity to help those who went down in the hole, when they were coming out, with some of their thoughts, feel- ings and emotions,” said Colla- day. He said the issues raised dur- ing the aftermath were difficult for everyone to comprehend and finding answers to the myriad of questions was not an easy task — not even for him.

Fox said Jackson Township an ac- tive Crime Watch group in the township fizzled out. “Today, as new residents move in, we do not have the same communication with our neighbors as we once did,” he said. e Wilkes announced an earth disturbance citation was issued by the Luzerne Conservation to a property in Chase Manor for storm water run off issues on Au- gust 8. An investigation is pending so Wilkes was un- able to provide further in- formation. “There was a sense of why did it happen...for the firemen who had lost some of their friends there was a feeling of how could the helpers get hurt, running in- to that,” said Colladay. “The questions that I would have to ask are how could God do this to how could God allow this to I don’t know if God allowed this or if man, in his wicked, evil, twist- ed ways, did what (he) wanted to do.” The most important part, Col- laday said, was bringing hope to those who were reeling from what had happened and ac- knowledging that Americans can overcome anything. He said it’s an experience he chooses not to think about and he really hadn't reflected upon it until this week. “It’s called washing,” he said. “It doesn’t make you hard, wash- ing just makes you wrinkled.” With questions of their own, it didn’t take the Snyders long to make the trip to New York City in search of Lenny. Darren Snyder found a posting for loved ones due to the lack of telephone service, and he found Lenny’s name on a list of people who were safe and accounted for. “It was another high again,” said Darren Snyder. “His name’s here, he’s reported as being OK. But it was somebody who saw’ him on the 76th floor.” After waiting what seemed like forever for Lenny to get in touch with them, the Snyders de- cided to take trips to local hospi- tals and other places where Len- ny might have checked in. “We went to all the hospitals in New York asking if there were any Lenny Snyders or John Does and there was just nothing,” said Darren Snyder. Those fruitless searches led Darren Snyder to believe his brother was not coming home. Legacy of September 11, 2001 Dave Davis, chief of the Har- veys Lake Fire Department, be- lieves the attacks on September 11 made residents more aware and more respectful of what emergency responders do. He said the media gave every- one a look at not only what it PRE di i takes to be an emergency respon- der, but also what it costs. “There was a lot more partici- pation in our fund drives and things like that,” said Davis. “...It made people see how much was lost in equipment and manpow- er.” Colladay said the attacks made one fact apparent and true: “We live in a changing world,” he said. Turchin, now retired, can still see the good that came out of something so detrimental to the nation. “It was a terrible, terrible di- & saster that brought us as Amer- ican people together to help each she said. other in a time of need,” Darren Snyder, who will visit a memorial built in honor of his brother and others today in Chestnut Ridge, N.J., said the important thing he will always cherish is the delicacy of life. “It brought my family closer, and we never miss any family gatherings,” he said.
