The death of 18-year-old Thomas
Lynch on Feb. 13, 2012, sent shock
waves through the Back Mountain.
Lynch, of Harveys Lake, passed away
shortly after arrival at the Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center Emer-
gency Room, Plains Township, due to
injuries received in a motor vehicle ac-
cident in Dallas Township.
Since then, six other young Back
Mountain residents have died, four in-
volving automobile accidents and two
from cancer, leaving area residents
nearly speechless and grasping for
ways to cope with the losses.
Candyce Fike, former chairpersonof the foreign language department
at Dallas High School, wants to help.
Thirteen years ago, Fike started what
is now known as the Back MountainAcademy and is reaching out to any-
one who feels they may need help with
their grief.
The academy is sponsoring grief
counselor Elisabeth Els Heij, of NewMilford who has trained internation-
ally, for six sessions at the Dallas High
School in an effort to bring the Back
Mountain community together in itstime of grief.
The sessions, which are being offered
freeof charge,will beheldfrom7 to 8:30
p.m. on Mondays beginning July 1 and
are open to anyone of any age.

There is life after Dallas High
School football for Ted and Sandy
Jackson. Its not the same life theyhad for the 27 years Ted was head
football coach of the Mountaineers
but its a good life, nonetheless.The Shavertown couple recently
returned from a motor trip to the
state of Wyoming where they assist-ed daughter Jill, a magna cum laude
graduate of Ithaca College, begin
her first clinical rotation in pursuing
a doctorate in physical therapy.
Theyre dog sitting for son, Mat-thew, while hes in San Francisco
training for a new job involving ro-botic surgery equipment.
Then there are those two beauti-
ful little grandsons, Max and Jared,
the sons of oldest son Ted Jr. and his
wife, Robin.
Ted Sr. will be inducted into the
Pennsylvania Scholastic Football
Coaches Association Hall of Famein Harrisburg this Saturday, mak-ing him one of just 230 coaches toreceive the honor since 1986. This

It couldnt have come at a bettertime,Sandy said of theaward, refer-ring to her husbands dismissal last
year by the Dallas School Board.Ted has chosen Ted Jr. to present
the award to him and, although Jilland Matt are unable to attend the
awards ceremony, the Jackson fam-ily will fill several tables at the eventwith members of both Teds andSandys families, as well as severalfriends, planning to attend.

It may have been day time but it was cer-tainly a Knight of Mayhem as the Lake-Lehman fundraiser took place on June 1on the high school grounds. Lucy the cowended the Cow Pie Bingo competition withpin-point accuracy when she selected the
winning plot at row 11, column 19, ownedby Bill and Rita Cutter, after onehourand 15minutes of play. Due to the heat and humid-ity - temperatures rose well into the 90s onSaturday- officials changed the rules of CowPieBingo and, instead of thesquare with themost volume being declared the winner, thesquare with the first deposit was named the
winning square. In addition to the bovineBingo, there were childrens games, a rockclimbing wall, an outdoor wrestling tourna-ment, a pie-baking contest andthe crowningof Little MissLake-Lehman.
Mayhem ensued at this fundraiser

When given the opportunity to selecta presenter, Ted. Jr. was a no-brainer. Heplayed for his father at Dallas and the twocoached side-by-side for years with Ted Jr.running the Mountaineers offense. Thetwo will be together on the football fieldagainthis fallwhen Ted Sr. joins thecoach-ing staff at Wyoming Valley West where
Ted Jr. is the offensive coordinator.After being replaced at Dallas following
a hotly-contested school board decision,Ted Sr. spent a year as a member of theMisericordia University football coachingstaff when that school re-instituted the
sport to its athletic program.It was challenging, Ted said of thetime he spent with the Cougars. All thekids were new to me. I was learning asmuch as they were, reading and learning asystem that wasnt my own.
Thekidswere great,though,he added,indicating he had just concluded a springpractice session with the college players.
As for the decision of the Dallas SchoolBoard, Ted says it was absolutely wrongto fire him.
They didntonly lose me, they lost ninecoaches, he said, adding that all of his as-sistants leftwith him. And,they didntfol-low their own protocol.
The Jacksons have a filed a lawsuitagainst the Dallas School District in thecase.
That aside, Ted and Sandys life has al-ways and continues to revolve around foot-ball.
Sandy was a regular at Dallas footballgames and, last year, became a fan of theMisericordia football team. Both Ted andSandyattended Valley West football gamesbecause of Ted Jr.s involvement with theteam and Sandy, no doubt, will become afixture at Spartans games this year.
Mydad died duringfootball seasonone
year, Sandy said, and we made sure toplan his funeral around the football sched-ule.
Daughter Jill arrived during a bye weekofthe yearshe was bornandmadeherfirstpublic appearance at a Mountaineer foot-ball game when she was just two weeksold.
Although his coaching style was some-times controversial, Teds success on thefootball field cannot be denied.
The livingroom of the Jacksons BelfordStreet home is filled with memorabiliafrom Teds coaching days at Dallas, a ca-reer that ended with a 231-76-3 record,making him the winningest coach inschool history.
In 27 seasons, his Mountaineer teamswon 15 Wyoming Valley Conference titles,
three District 2 titles, four Eastern Confer-ence titles and the PIAA Class A state titlein 1993.
He produced undefeated regular sea-sons in 1994 and 2010 and his teams hada 24-game winning streak from 1993-1994.
Ted is a 15-time Wyoming Valley Con-ference Coach of the Year, a Big 33 gameassistant coach in 1995 and led the Eastto victory in 2001 as head coach of the PS-FCA East/West Game.
He was named Best High School Athlet-ic Coach in the Back Mountain in The Dal-las Posts Best of the Back Mountain read-er contest for five consecutive years from2008-2013. He was also named Coach ofthe Decade by the Citizens Voice in 2009andwas inducted into theLuzerne CountySports Hall of Fame in 2011.
Teds coaching style leads to some seri-ous story-telling, a lot of which went onduring a banquet honoring him last yearand attended by more than 400 people.
And both Ted and Sandy dont hesitateto join in the story-telling.
Ted will tell you his players were notallowed to remove their helmets duringpractice without permission from a coach,attesting to his strict disciplinary style.
I remember we lost to Crestwood one
time and we shouldnt have, he said. Imade them wear their helmets home.
Thats when I got yelled at by mothers.Sandy remembers a time when the
Mountaineers played an afternoon gameon a day the prom was being held in theevening.
The team had lost and Ted made themstay on the field and practice, she said, in-terrupting her husband when he began totell the story. All the mothers were wait-ing to take their kids home to get readyfor the prom. I was waiting for Ted withmy mom and dad. One of the motherscame up to me and said, Whats wrong
with your parents? I said, Excuse me andthe mother asked, How could they let youmarry a maniac like that?
Stories like that have been told time and
time again, some at the many weddings offormer Dallas football players which Tedand Sandy have attended and many more
will be told at the four graduation partiesof Mountaineers players to which theyhave been invited this year.
Strict discipline has been a part of Tedsentire life and punishment for wrong-doings as a boy always involved getting ahaircut.
When I did something wrong, Id havetogo tothe barbership ona Saturdaymorn-ing, he said. There was one chair, eightold guys and Id have to wait my turn. Ittook me four hours to get a haircut. All myfriends would walk by and laugh at me.
Although Sandy says peopleeverywherehave been supportive and she has neverheard a bad word about her husband in
public, whether shes at church or in thegrocery store, both she and Ted some-times feel like theyve been torn from thecommunity.
The Jacksons, though, along with theirchildren, have remained steadfast to eachother and to Teds coaching career. Thefootball community, obviously with Tedsmost recent accolades, continues to ap-plaud his coaching ability.

YOUR SPACE
Since its infrared season (i.e., summer), Dallas Post photographer Bill Tarutis shot these at Frances Slocum with his infrared cam-era. These are not Photoshop manipulations. There is a filter in the camera that blocks out all visible light (400-700 nm) and onlylets infrared (>800 nm) reach the sensor. Green vegetation reflects a lot of infrared in full sun and appears white. Water and blue skyabsorb infrared, so they look dark.
