REUNION Continued from Page 1 puppy. “That puppy was a lifesaver because it kind of took his mind off things,” she said. Ted Jr. believes his father will return to coaching “sooner rath- er than later,” but he said if this is the end, he wants his family to remember this as a positive time. “We want to try and turn that negative situation into a positive one,” he said. Sandy Jackson has received an outpouring of support for the reunion and already has about 150 people signed up to attend. The family is hoping to focus more on Mountaineers of teams past, as the longtime coach can sometimes be modest about his accomplishments. “He doesn’t like attention, so we're making it more about the players,” said Sandy. “He’s the kind of person who doesn’t like BILL TARUTIS/ FOR THE DALLAS POST Former Dallas football coach Ted Jackson's 1993 state championship ring. to take overwhelming credit for things. Even when he was inter- viewed by the media, he made sure he named every single as- sistant coach to honor them.” She plans to bring all the memorabilia the family has col- lected throughout the years to display at the event, and Ted Jr. has been working on a video to present. “(Football) was like the nu- cleus of our family life,” said Sandy. Ted Jr. was a sophomore when the Dallas High School football team won the state championship in 1993 and served as his father’s assistant coach for 11 seasons. Matthew also played under Ted Sr.s in- struction and daughter Jill hasn’t missed a game since she was two weeks old. “I always thought my dad did three things better than anyone else — number one was motiva- tion, number two was discipline and number three was prepara- tion,” said Ted Jr. “Some people do things with their dad like hunting or fishing, but I got to spend a lot of time with my dad every day, seven days a week, when we coached together.” Ted Jr. accepted a position as an assistant coach at Wyoming Valley West earlier this year. Sandy said the reunion spans more than just the players and coaches throughout the Wyom- ing Valley Conference are invit- ed to attend, as are those who worked with Ted Sr. throughout the years including sports jour- nalists. “Football was such an impor- tant part of our lives,” she said.

The work, which includes the removal of the bridge and wid- ening of the road, is being con- ducted through the state De- partment of Transportation. Su- pervisors wanted to get a closer look at the project’s progress — progress that had been stalled for more than 10 years. The Luzerne County Conser- vation District also replaced some of the walls along Toby Creek leading to the bridge with boulders due to excess grant money. The walls had been crumbling into the creek since heavy rains caused flood- ing in 2006. ? That piece of the project was completed at no cost to the township, but other issues in the township havent been as lucky. Storm water issues plague West Hillside Street off Carver- ton Road, mostly because CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS RDST The East Center Street bridge/road intersection will need re- paving once PennDOT has completed the bridge replacement.

Box said there are many simi- lar issues within the township — the current board is footing the bill to address problems that started decades ago. Township engineer Terry Os- trowski, of Borton-Lawson, said the township attempted to fund the project through local share account monies, or gaming rev- enues, but the project was de- nied. Fritzges estimated it would cost between $15,000 and $17,000 to correct the storm water issue, but supervisors we- rent sure where they wonld find the money. During the meeting, Ostrow- ski detailed the projects in or- der to find approximate costs, which the township manager would prepare for the board's review during the week. TEAM. Continued from Page 1 place after conquering South Carolina, only to be defeated in the semifinals by the Florida team. “We got third place — we're still happy,” said Cerza. “No one ex- pected us to bein the top five.” Team advisor Kevin West was very proud of the team consider- ing its members might have'been the youngest at the competition. He said most of the students the * team faced were seniors, while the Dallas team consists of most- ly sophomores and freshmen. Cerza was especially excited to place well in the team’s home state. “I was worried about it being in our home state and I didn’t know how we were going to do — I thought we might not do as well as our home state would have hoped,” said Cerza. West said the support the team received from local and state officials. helped the team succeed. He said the competi- tion was streaming live on the LifeSmarts website during the semi-finals, and students at Dal- las: High School got to watch their classmates in action during the competition. “We didn’t know said Hudak: ) about it,” “If T had’ known about it; I would have sat under the table,” Habib joked. Though the LifeSmarts pro- gram is very competitive — the students who participated in na- tionals have to fight every day to keep their seats on the team, as the club of about 20 members tests daily to see who's the best — the students said the experience at nationals wasn’t all stress and buzzers. “It's not as vicious as it sounds,” said Cerza. Palissery said in between rounds the state teams got a chance to mingle, which was a great experience in itself. Teams were even paired upon their ar- rival to Philadelphia in order to keep the games friendly and fun. “Our sister team was Ver- mont,” she said. “They were real- ly nice.” Hudak said even though the contest is intense, the subject matter and competition is excit- ing. so fun,” said Hudak.
