FARRELL Continued from Page 1 planned two months ago, and they were shocked to learn about the outcome of the game. “I'm the assistant coach, so we never miss a game,” said Mark Farrell. The Farrells received more @- 50 text messages the day t heir son scored 44 points in one game. “We had met another couple while we were there, and we told them about what was happen- ing, and they gave us their phone number and asked us to text them the outcome of the game,” laughed Donna Farrell. Lojewski has seen Farrell be- come a mature young man through coaching him in the league, and he said watching Farrell’s skills develop on the court and in interacting with his friends is what makes coaching pn Worthwhile. & “In 20 years of coaching, I can’t remember an output like this,” Lojewski said. “I went from watching the Knicks lose their first game of the season in the last second, and I thought I was going to have to console Jack. Now he’s leading the pack, but he’s also very unselfish.” Farrell, who also plays base- ball and football, likes to spend BILL TARUTIS/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Dallas fourth-grader and Dallas Youth Basketball player Jack Farrell, 9, practices layups in his driveway. time with his brothers, 12-year- old Michael and 6-year-old Nick, and friends, shooting hoops in the driveway. The straight-A student said his favorite subject in school is gym (“If that counts,” he said) and social studies. “I like basketball because it’s athletic and fun,” he said. Today, the Knicks have a spot in the finals, and they’ll face the undefeated Suns. Farrell hopes the team wins, but he’s more excited about playing in the brand new high school gym. “It'll be fun, and it’s a great ex- perience,” said Lojewski. PATROLS Continued from Page 1 help change those numbers. “There are a disproportional amount of teens being killed in crashes,” he said. “If you set the habit, it continues all the way through adulthood.” Jolley said the program is not just for teens — more adults than young drivers were cited during the department’s stint at the Dallas campus. “We could all use a reminder that we need to be driving 100 percent of the time, with no dis- tractions,” he said. “We (the po- lice) can’t control the weather, but maybe we can control whether a person wears a seat- belt and whether a person speeds.” Galicki said with the recent crashes of Lynch and 17-year- old Dallas High School student Damon Szatkowski, who is re- covering after being in a coma since December, simple re- minders like wearing a seatbelt can make a big difference. “We all know the younger drivers feel invincible ...,” he said. “As soon as you get in the vehicle, put the key in the igni- tion, the shoulder hardness should come across ... The old adage, ‘It can’t happen to me’ - even if you're just going down the block, there could be a crash and it could very easily happen.” Staying Home Has Never Been Easier!

BRIDGE Continued from Page 3 The bridge was actually contracted to be repaired this November, but May said the process was expedited to be cautious. May said the northbound lane of Route 309 typically carries about 12,500 vehicles a day, while the southbound lane sees about 13,000 motor- ists daily. At night, however, the traffic significantly de- creases, he said. He said PennDOT could not close just one side during the repairs because drilling re- quired the removal of the aes- thetic concrete which could cause more debris to loosen and fall off. According to The Times Leader’s archives, a similar event occurred about 10 years ago and PennDOT had planned to remove loosened concrete and patch the facade of the bridge.
