Any Little League parent whoseson or daughter has hit a home runknows thefeeling of exhilaration thatcomes with that feat. When you havetwo sons on the same team and both
of them hit a home run in the samegame, as did Michael and Zach Luk-sic last Friday night, that exhilara-tion is doubled.
How, though, can you possibly ex-plain the feeling when both of yoursons, who play for the same team,each hit two home runs in the samegame?
Mike and Cathy Luksic were overthe moon when that happened.
Michael andZach, whoboth play forthe BackMountain Rangersin the BackMountain Little League, each beltedtwo home runs in a game against theGiants on Tuesday of this week.
Michael is 12 years old and Zach is10 years old. And, to top off the par-ticipation of the Luksic family, the
boys father is the coach for the BackMountain Rangers.
The Luksic family lives on Wood-bine Road in Shavertown.
Brothers belt
six home runs
in a week
Zach and Michael Luksic each belt-ed a home run for the Back Moun-tain Little League team last Fridaynight. Then, they each cracked twohome runs in Tuesdays game.
Doesnt this make you thinkabout the stupid stuff you do?
A.J. Antonitis asked this ofhis fellow seniors at the Lake-Lehman Jr./Sr. High SchoolWednesdayafternoonas thestudents watched an accident - complete
with a fatality, a critically-injured victim anda drunk driver.
Antonitis, who claims he is totallyagainst texting and driving did admit toenjoying the scenery around him while he
drives and sometimes change a song on hisiPhone.A friend of mine got into an accident
while texting and driving and I got scared,
Antonitis said as he watched a victim(Mike Penny) of the accident taken away inan ambulance and another victim(GarrettHopfer) put into a body bag.
If this does something for one kid, it willbe well worth it, saidRonald Wenrich, withBack Mountain Fire & EMS.
The mock accident was coordinated byDavid Hopfer, an industrial arts teacher atLake-Lehman who is also a firefighter andemergency medical technical with BackMountain Fire & EMS and advisor of theschools ERT (Emergency Response Team)Club.

The Wycallis kindergarten students ofSusan Crahall and Victoria Flynn learnedabout nature firsthand when they spenttheir day at Frances Slocum State Park.Both morning and afternoon classes en-
joyed a field trip with a guided hike byKathy Kelchner, the parks environmentaleducation specialist.
Kelchner gives herself another title. Imthe park naturalist, she said. Shes also a
busy woman. I do programs with 1200 to1500 students a month. She added, I dobetween four and 15 nature camps a weekand public programs on the weekends.
Crahall said that Kelchner does a greatjob with the tours of the park. The chil-dren did a camouflage activity while ontheir hike where they hid behind trees andbushes and Crahall said it was difficult tofind them. When the teachers called theirnames, they popped out from their hidingplaces.
Crahall said the children needed an in-troduction to the park. Many kids come tothe playground but dont do the trails.
She also said the field trip goes alongwith the kindergarten curriculum. Westudy a lot about animals and trees. Thechildren were sent home with a seedling to
plant for Earth Day.Both Kelchner and Crahall said the af-

Bracelets set anew world record
Donald James, principal at Ross El-ementary School in Sweet Valley, re-ceived word this week that the schoolhas officially broken the Guinness
World Record for the worlds LongestChain of Bracelets.
For seven months, students at theschool tied friendship bracelets, usingcolored embroidery string.
When the bracelets were measuredon May 1 on the school field, it washoped the Ross Elementary bracelets
would break the current Guinness re-cordof 810 feet set in2011by studentsat Owingsville Elementary School inKentucky.
The bracelets were counted andmeasured by professional land sur-
veyors Jess Kronenwetter and BillBolton from Borton Lawson Engineer-ing Firm while Dotty Martin, editor
of The Dallas Post, served as the of-ficial witness. They stretched out for2,678.02 feet (812.262 meters).
After 3 1/2 hours of counting each
and every bracelet - all 7,507 of them -
the Ross students cheered and waited.
Now its official! Both the length
and the number of bracelets havebeen determined to have broken the
world record and the Ross Elementary
School students are now world record
holders.
An official certificate from the Guin-
ness Book of World Records arrived
at the school Thursday. Students cele-brated by painting signs to hang in the
school, indicating they are now world
record holders.

Anna is a 4-month-old female Asian Shepherdwho is doing well in her foster home but stillneeds a furever home. She is great with other dogs,cats and children.
The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is a protectivedog who bonds first to its human caretaker and nextwith its perceived possessions. Bred to solve prob-lems, it is independent minded, strong, brave andresponsible. It is a large but agile dog, sometimes
described as a cat in dogs clothing.With its strong guarding and territorial instincts, it
is not a breed for the novice owner.Sensitive and smart, the Central Asian Shepherdresponds best to someone who can inspire loyaltywhile also providing strong leadership. Heavy-handed training will backfire with this breed butrespectful, thoughtful training will yield an undy-ingly devoted companion.

The Lake-Lehman High School li-brary was packed with students receiv-
ing honors for sports, music and Histo-
ry Day competitions. But a small groupof high school sophomores questioned
the board about the elimination of the
humanities class from the curriculum.Director of Curriculum Instruction
and Assessment Tracey Halowich saidthe humanities program no longer fits
the needs of younger high school stu-
dents who take Keystone tests basedon government and American history
rather than the course matter of the
world history-basedhumanities course.
She invited students to meet withher about the proposed changes.
Board member Andrew Salko saidhe was a humanities student who feltthe benefits of the course. Im going tofight and be the advocate, he said of
the course.Halowichs title was also changed at
the meeting. She has become the As-sistant to the Superintendent with nochange in salary or benefits other thanthose specified in the current Act 93agreement.
Higher taxes look likely for propertyowners living in the school district,even though two Lake-Lehman schoolboard members voted against the dis-tricts proposed final budget which in-
cluded a tax increase.The proposed $27 million budget
calls for a millage of 9.671 for thosetaxpayersliving in Luzerne Countyanda millage of 51.1882 for those living in
Wyoming County. A mill is a $1 tax on
each $1,000 of assessed property value.In addition to the tax increase allowedby the state, the district applied for ex-ceptions to raise the taxes even higher.
After the meeting, board memberBo Kreller said he voted against thetax hike because hes hearing that tax-payers are tired of tax increases every
year. Theyre tired of having to paythe highest rate allowed, he said. Ibelieve there are other areas where wecan be cutting.
Karen Masters joined Kreller in vot-ing against the proposed budget, say-ing, I feel the same. There are otherconcessions we can make. She addedthat residents are being taxed out oftheir homes in this economy.
All other board members voted forthe budget except James Welby who
was absent from the meeting.The board unanimously approved
a new bond issue. When a residentquestioned the move, school officialsexplained the bond issue had a two-fold purpose. One is to refinance dis-trict debt at a lower rate and the otheris to improve energy efficiency at thedistrict. Over the 15-year period ofthe loan, the energy efficiency project
guarantees a net payback of $400,000,including the debt service on the loan.
Karen Muldoon, of Dallas, was ap-pointed as a school nurse for the dis-trict. The board also authorized theHuman Resources Department to ad-
vertise for several teaching positionsand an athletic director.
Head coaches for the fall and win-ter seasons were also appointed at themeeting.
The board recognized the retirementof Lehman-Jackson Elementary Schoolprincipal Marilyn Glogowski. It alsorecognized History Day CoordinatorMichael Novrocki as the recipient ofthe Patricia M. Behring State HistoryDay Teacher of the Year Award.

ing of safety issues and traffic

Pennsylvania has long required state andlocal elected and appointed officials, em-ployees, nominees and candidates to annu-ally file financial disclosure statements withthe state Ethics Commission, documentingincome, certain investments and debts andgifts and hospitality received.
But citizens, good government groupsand media looking to review the state-ments have rarely found access to be easy
or convenient.Senator Lisa Baker is offering a legisla-
tive remedy, requiring that the statementsbe filed electronically and posted online ina searchable format.
The Ethics Commission has for yearsgone beyond the limited requirements in
state law and posted the filings online.Senate Bill 899 makes posting a matterof state law and provides that filings be
sorted by name, office, year and amend-ment. It adds a requirement for amendedfilings to be attached to the original, so a
viewer can readily see what has changed.There is an e-mail notification option forindividuals who want to be alerted to newfilings.
The bill also includes language requir-ing state and county political party officersto file financial interest statements.

two years, was scheduled to co-incide with the students prom
which was held Friday night.As students watched the sce-
nario unfold, a Lehman Twp.police officer conducted a fieldsobriety test on the driver whileemergencypersonnelfrom BackMountain Regional Fire & EMS
were joined by Sweet Valley Vol-unteer Fire Dept., ShavertownVolunteer Fire Dept., Medic 30and Elis Towing who all partici-pated in the program.
The victims were believ-able, having been made up bymembers of the schools theaterarts department. Paint wasusedto symbolize blood and Penny,a passenger in one of the ve-hicles, had shards of glass pro-truding from his forehead.
Although there was lots ofconversation among studentsduring the program, when ques-tioned, most seemed to under-stand the importance of payingattention when driving.
I wouldnt want to put myparents through this, said KarliDoran as a victim (Kendra
Stine) was wheeled to a waitingambulance.
Caitlyn Callahan said shecould relate to the fear involvedin an accident of this magni-tude.
I was in an accident like this.I was T-boned, she remem-bered. It was scary being in theambulance and in the traumaunit, not knowing if theres in-ternal bleeding. Your life couldbe gone quickly.
I wouldnt want to be inthat, said Ryan Akins, who re-membered being badly injured
when he was hit by a car whilewalking a few years ago. Thishelps us learn to drive safely.
When a student questionedHopfer as to whether a helicop-ter would be involved in theprogram, Hopfer responded bysaying, Theres an old saying.Bad news travels by air.
Shortly after, a Life Flight he-licopter landed in the field out-side the school and prepared totransport the critically-injuredpatient to a nearby hospital.
With the noise of the chopperas a backdrop, Lake-LehmanteacherJean Lipski said shewassure students would take some-thing away from the program.
Its in high school studentsnature to act like nothing bad
will ever happen, said Lipski,who teaches gifted students.But, believe me, this will havean impact on them.
ternoon class came in for aspecial treat during their hike
when they got a good look ata red-tailed hawk sitting on astump.
Carolyn Comitz, a kinder-garten student who lives inDallas, liked seeing the hawkand found the nature part ofthe trip interesting. Surpris-ingly, the biggest excitementfor her was the transportationto the park. It was my firsttime riding a bus! she said.
Charlie Letwinsky, also akindergarten student from
Dallas, enjoyed the trip, too.He liked seeing and touchingthe animal pelts in the naturecenter.
After the hike, Kelchnerhelped the children make anature necklace which fea-tured a wooden medallion
with a nature picture stampedon it.
The afternoon trip cameto an exciting close while thechildren were seated at picnictables enjoying a snack beforereturning to the bus. A pair ofCanada geese flew into viewand landed in the lake in frontof the children and joinedtheir family of six goslings.

sports briefs
The chase for gold medals and the
team standings receive most of
the attention at a championship track
meet.
But, there is much more going on at
the District 2 Track and Field Champi-onships.
Beating personal bests, making his-
tory and advancing to the Pennsylva-
nia Interscholastic Athletic Associa-
tion Championships in Shippensburg
are also part of the agenda for the top
athletes.
Dallas junior Regan Rome fell short of adding
to her collection of gold medals, but did man-
age to post a personal best inthe 3200-meterrun
while surpassing a longstanding record and posi-
tioning herself for the state medal pursuit Fridayand Saturday in Shippensburg University.
Rome was one of five Back Mountain athletes
who qualified for the state meet without win-
ning district titles. Those who finish second or
lower can advance to Shippensburg if they meet
a lofty predetermined qualifying standard.
I just wanted to get through to states, Rome
said. The only thing Im doing at states is the
2-mile (3200).
I feel more confident in the 2-mile. I just had
to get through this and get on to states.
District 2 Class AAA athletes were more effec-
tive than in most seasons in meeting those stan-
dards during Tuesdays event.
Lake-Lehmans Kieran Sutton and Dominic
Hockenbury battled bitter conditions that made
qualifying difficult Monday to advance in the
Class AA boys 3200-meter run.Rome was joined among the Class AAA girls
qualifiers by Dallas teammates Katie Kravitsky
and Catie Gawlas.
In one sense, Rome missed an opportunity
to celebrate crushing a 28-year-old meet record
by more than 14 seconds when she fell short of
Tessa Barrett, the Abington Heights junior who
won a state indoor 3000-meter championship
earlier this year.
Both girls, however, probably gained by push-
ing each other in what shaped up as a two-per-
son race from the start. They produced one of
the most remarkable combined performances in
the events long history.
I think we push each other, said Rome, who
finished more than 35 seconds faster than what
was required to make the state meet.
Barrett ran on Romes heels for 2000 metersbefore overtaking her as the sixth of eight laps
began.
It was a little hard because I kind of set the
pace that entire time, Rome said.
The record of 10:52.24, set by Honesdales
Heidi Robbins in 1985, never stood a chance.
Barrett arrived at the finish line in 10:32.78.
Rome, the only competitor within a minute of
Barrett, came in at 10:37.81.
Distance running, both in track season and in
cross country during the fall, has been District
2s hallmark on the state level.
Sutton and Hockenbury were part of a strong
field in high school tracks longest race when
they madethe state meet,alsoat 3200 meters,in
Class AA boys. Sutton finished third in 9:41.32
and Hockenbury fourth in 9:44.15.
They finished behind another record-settingperformance as Rico Galassi of Holy Cross won
in 9:15.78, lowering his own mark.
Galassi joins Barrett in representing District
2s strongest title hopes at Shippensburg.
Sutton and Hockenbury finished behind
Galassi and Elk Lakes Luke Jones, who were 1-2
in the state inClass A crosscountrylastfall. The
Lake-Lehman runners made the state meet by
beating the 9:48.01 qualifying standard.
Kravitsky lost out on a potential district title
in the high jump, finishing second on a tiebreak-
er asone of three AAAgirls to clear5-3,the state
qualifying standard. All three went for a tie of
the district record of 5-5 but missed on all three
tries, leading to the tiebreaker for fewest earlier
misses.
Gawlas made it by finishing third in the
100-meter dash in 12.47. She was one of fourqualifiers in the event, which was won by Valley
Views Carli Lucke, who also took the 200-meter
title.
