According to Wycallis Elemen-

tary School Principal PaulReinert, who introduced the

second annual Family Science

Challenge Night, the cafeteria was even

noisier than during a busy lunch period.

Thanks to elementary science coordinator

Nicole Valkenburg, who also teaches fourth

grade at Wycallis, the huge space was filled

with excited families set for the challenge.

Building stronger families through science

SUPPORT SYSTEM

BySUSANDENNEY/Dallas Post Correspondent Over 70 families, including more than 250people, signed up for the PTO-sponsoredevent.Valkenburg explained that she dreamed

up the Family Science Challenge to get kidsexcited about science. She also said, Itshard to get families together.

The excitement and noise were due in partto the mystery of the event. Each family hadbeen given a stapled brown paper lunch bag.No one, not even the other teachers, knew

what was in the bags prior to the event.The bags contained a sheet of brown con-

struction paper, a list of instructions and a30-millimeter strip of masking tape.

The challenge? To build a structure thatwould hold up as many textbooks as possible.

The judging table held stacks of identical

textbooks weighing 1.8 pounds each.Once the challenge began, the noise level

dropped as families conferred about how to

use the paper to build their structure.Many families opted to fold the paper and

create a ring with tape. But other familiesfolded their paper into a triangle shape oreven built a platform with feet.

Andy and Chrissy Popielarz, of Dallas,participated in the event with their children,second-grader Mary, first grader Marie and5-year-old Andrew.

Mary said she was there to have fun.The family also competed in the event last

year and Chrissy Popielarz said they decided

While driving on Carverton Roadpast the Frances Slocum State Parkboat launch on March 6, Peter Swa-boski, of Dallas, saw two girls on theice. Seconds later, he saw only one.

Swaboski pulled a U-turn, stoppedand called 911. The 911 dispatchertold Swaboski to stay off the ice andon thephone. Thegirls cried forhelp.He threw them a tie down from histrunk, but it was too short.

Five or six miles away at his homeon Dug Road, Jason Rose drank cof-fee and watched afternoon TV beforehis graveyard shift at Cargill in Wy-alusing.

I got the call on my pager thatthere was a water incident at FrancesSlocum, Rose said.

As a trained EMS responder, hismind went into water rescuemode.Ikept my sneakers on - boots would betooheavy- grabbed my lifejacket and100 feet ofrope.I knewI had minutesto get down there and figured they

would have been in the water 10 to15 minutes before I got there.

Time, Rose knows, is critical in awater rescue.

The threeyear veteran volunteerfrom the Kingston-Trucksville EMSFire and Rescue threw his truck intooverdrive, his body pumped withadrenalin.

Swaboski was only too happy tosee Rose about three minutes afterhe made the 911 call. He knew just

what to do, Swaboski said of Rose.But by then, another passerby,

while trying to help, had gone outon the ice and fallen in. Now, there

were three people in the water whoneeded to be rescued.

Thoughtfully, Rose went for the

girl who had been in the water thelongest and who was screamingHelp me, help me. The other girlhad gotten herself out but now Rosehad another ice victim to help.

Keeping in mind that he neededto leave 10 to 15 feet between every-body he was trying to save (so thatthe ice wouldnt give out), Rose wassurprised when Kingston Twp. Of-ficer Michael Huntzinger came upbehind him.

While trying to lift one of the girls,Huntzinger fell in the water, too, put-ting four people in the water.

Methodically working the scene,Rose kept his focus on the girl, gother to shore then went back for theother passerby. The girl was numb,

had no feeling and was pre-hypother-mic was Roses evaluation.Meanwhile, Kingston Township

Police Chief Jim Balavage, rope inhand, arrived at the scene and fol-lowed his own officer onto the ice.

The rescuers made sure all weresafe and on shore before they helpedOfficer Huntzinger out. He said he

was fine and that the water wasntall that cold anyway, said Balavage,

Dylan Pilger arrived at the DallasUnited Methodist Church basement

with his right arm in a sling.Its okay, he joked, I can always

work with one hand.The soon-to-be 18-year-old Boy

Scout had jammed his arm at hockeypractice the day before, ending up inthe emergency room.

On this day, his fellow Scouts fromBoy Scout Troop 281 of Dallas were

finishing up the collection of over3,300 food items they had solicitedfrom 17 neighborhoods for the Back

Mountain Food Pantry and Pilgerwasnt missing any of it.

I know there are people in needout there and Im going to help outand give as much as I can, he said

Cheerleading coaches come under fireDallas School District cheerleaders

and their parents addressed the schoolboard at its March 11 meeting regard-ing varsity cheerleading coach SuzannePowell.

Jennifer Sorber, a middle schoolcheerleading coach in the district andparent, said her daughter was bulliedby Powell and Sorber felt forced to pro-tect her from verbal taunts during prac-tices and games.

Im also a coach and it is importantto motivate those we coach but thereis a line we, as coaches, do not cross,said Sorber, questioning the appropri-ateness of Powell sending text messag-

es directly to those she coached.Lisa Cummings, parent of cheerlead-

er Aneilla Cummings, 14, said manycheerleaders were afraid of the coach

and many would not be trying out forthe cheer team next year because of itsreputation of negativity and drama.

Several varsity cheerleaders Powellhad coached addressed the board, in-dicating they had successfully cheeredunder other coaches but that Powellhad labeled them as starting dramaor not working hard enough.

Powell, who limited her commentsto the board, said that often it wassometimes necessary to offer strong di-rectives to those she coached and citedimprovementsin thevarsitycheerteam

during the 2 years during which shehad coached.

Karen Sebolka, who spoke in defenseof Powell, said, my daughter cheered

under Powell and, although she wasntalways happy, she learned responsibil-ity and respect.

Several board members lauded thosestudent cheerleaders who spoke beforethem as having courage and compo-sure.

Parent Lisa Alves, whose daugh-ter Ashlie had originally addressedthe board at a prior meeting, said she

wouldhave preferredto haveaddressedthe issues in a private forum but thatadministrators had not responded toher request for a meeting between

administration and parents of districtcheerleaders.

In another matter, a plaque was pre-sented in memory of Gary Mathers,

who served the board as both a teacherand a board member.His vision changed our traditional

industrial arts program into a techno-logically advanced one, said FrankGalicki, superintendent.He was trulya front runner in that area.

Addressing security, Bill Gartrell, di-rector of technology, presented a videodemonstratingthe useof cameras to in-crease awareness within district schoolbuildings.

Board members commented on theclarity and resolution of the streaming

video.Gartrell said when the project was

complete there would be 111 cam-eras within district buildings. Gartrell

would then move on to assessing andrefining the outside camera system.The district will utilize Ipads, cell

phones and other devices, allowing ad-ministration, staff and local police ac-cess to the information streaming fromthose cameras.

In another matter, Charles Preesecongratulated Forensic team membersfor advancing to the Forensic NationalQualifiers in Philadelphia in May.

LAKE-LEHMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT

Turf bid approved by Lake-LehmanBySUSAN DENNEY

Dallas Post Correspondent

Plans for improvementsto the Lake-Lehman athleticgrounds made progress at theschool boards March 11 meet-ing at Lake-Noxen Elementary.

The board awarded the bidfor replacement of the districtsartificial turf to A-Turf, Inc., ofLancaster. The bid was not toexceed $468,000 and includesthe removal of existing turfand installation of a new 10mmelastic rubber pad with a 25-

year warranty and artificial turfwith a 12-year warranty.

The board also approved amotion to advertise for bids toresurface the artificial runningtrack.

School District Superinten-dent James McGovern urgedparents and residents to con-tact their state representativesabout thegrantpackage thedis-trict has submitted in conjunc-tion with Jackson Township.The gaming grant would payfor the replacement of the turfas well as for other improve-ments, including a sand vol-leyball court and pavilion, twopractice fields, an ice skating

rink and a walking trail. Thefacilities would be used by thepublic as well as by the district.

After the meeting, McGov-ern stated the bid was $35,000

to $40,000 under what hadbeen expected for the replace-ment turf.

McGovern was asked abouthis hopes for obtaining thegaming grant.

If it goes by ambition andwork, Im 100 percent sure, hesaid. He added that he realizedthere are many grant applica-tions but said, Were extremelyhopeful.

McGovern also said that,even if thegrant is awarded, thedistrict will continue with the

planned Knight of Mayhemfundraiser set for June 1.

Resident Kevin Salaway ad-dressed the board by making

what he called an appeal forfairness. He told the boardabout damage to his daugh-ters vehicle by a snow plow onschool district property. Sala-

way said he had been told theschool districts insurance didnot cover the incident but thatSalaways $500 insurance de-ductible would be paid by thedistricts insurance.

Salaway said the claimagainst his insurance wouldadversely affect his rates. It wassuggested by several members

of the board to have the ve-hicle repaired by the West SideCareer and Technical Ccenterauto repair department.

Kevin Koziol, of Harveys

Lake, made a presentationabout theSMARTsub, a com-pany which assists school dis-tricts in finding andadminister-ing substitute teachers. Koziolis COO of theSMARTsub andexplained benefits of the sys-tem to the board members andassembled residents.

Koziol said the sub programwould make calls to potentialsubstitute teachers, keep accu-rate records of all sub activityand charge school districts onlyfor the actual number of sub-

stitute days used. A big part ofKoziols program is his plan toreturn half the cost of the pro-gram to the district.

Board members approved thefollowing coaching positions:John Sobocinski, head coachfor track and field at a stipendof $3,843; C. Wayne Oplinger,head coach for softball at a sti-pend of $4254; D. Corey Brin,head coach for volleyball at astipend of 4,254; and MatthewIde, junior high assistant at astipend of $2650.

The board accepted, withregret, the retirement noticeof Regina Modrovsky, school

nurse, effective the end of thisschool year.

The next board meeting willbe held at 7 p.m. on April 8 atRoss Elementary School.

sitting in his office recalling theevent.

Balavage notes that, Its notthe first time this has happened.People fall into the lake regular-ly this time of year. Most get outby themselves.

Balavage is proud and happywith the 3-minute response timeto the incident by all teams in-

volved.Though professionally trained

in ice water rescue, Rose hadnever actively participated ina water rescue and is havingsecond thoughts about the ac-

cident.It worked out but I did the

wrong thing. Rose explained.Water rescue is a two-personteam job. I should have waitedfor the other guys to get therebut made the decision to go af-ter them myself because, if theyhaddrowned while I stood thereand waited, I dont know how I

would feel.Park manager Rex Bradish

says that everybody involved,including ranger Darren Kram-er who assisted in the rescue,should be highly commended.

Bradish has since posted the

area closed andhopesfishermenand the public will heed safetyprecautions the state publishesfor safety on and around ice.

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/ FOR THE DALLAS POST

Since four people fell through the ice last week at Frances SlocumPark, these signs have been posted at the parks boat launch.

No one has a normal rounddoor knob anymore, he said,making it difficult for theScouts to figure out whereto leave the door hangers.

For Shavertown brothersVladimir and Ivan Gingo, thecollection was a chance to havefun running around neighbor-hoods with their friends whilesupporting a worthy cause.

The cause is an inexhaustibleone. Of the approximately twotons of food collected by the

Scouts this year, it will be gonein a couple of months, said Car-ol Eyet, coordinator at the foodpantry in Trucksville.

Large families with as manyas 10 members will take out 10bags of food each week from thepantry.

It seems it goes out as fast asit comes in, said Eyet.

The annual Scout food drive,the post office and school fooddrives are the biggest communi-ty contributions to the food pan-try and bring in the most food,Ide reported.

BackMountain heartsopenedup to the Scouts the day of thecollection.

As if on a townwide Easteregg hunt, Scouting brothersMatt and David Schnable andtheir friend Eric Davies came

across a motherload of foodon a porch on Sterling Avenuein Dallas. The Scouts beamed

with excitement as they loadeda porch fullof food thatfilled theback of an SUV.

One of the Scouts said, Letsleave a thank you note on theporch. Does anyone have somepaper?

Matt Schanble wrote outThank You and his mother,

Tammy Schnable, made sure he

signed it Troop 281, leaving be-hind a legacy of courteousnessand kindness that Scouts areknown for.

Harrymoves up

the podiumAustin Harry moved four steps

up the podium.Harry suffered hisfirst twowres-

tling losses of the season March7-9 at the Giant Center in Hershey,but he moved up from an eighth-place finish a year ago to fourth inthe state with one more season re-maining in his high school career.

The Lake-Lehman junior nowhas three district titles, two re-gional titles and two PennsylvaniaInterscholastic Athletic Associa-

tion Class AA state medals to hiscredit.Coming into the tournament,

obviously everyone wants to winit, Harry said. After that firstloss, you cant really hang yourhead. You have to come back andtry to finish as high as you can.

Harry opened the state tourna-ment by pinning Chase Schaefferof Tri Valley in 2:44.

Eventual finalist Nick Zanettaof Keystone Oaks ended Harrystitle hopes and ruined his perfectrecord with a 5-0 victory in thequarterfinals.

Harry fought back through theconsolation brackets to a top-fourfinish by winning three straight

low-scoring decisions 3-1 overLee Todora of Bethlehem Catholic,4-2over Cole Walter of Mifflinburgin a rematch of the Northeast Re-gional final and 6-3 over MichaelComunale of Pius X.

Ian Brown of Hanover defeatedHarry, 5-0, to take third place.

Harry lost three times at thestate tournament last year, fallingto eighth place after clinching amedal.

Being a sophomore, when Iknew was going to place, I washappy knowing that no matter

what, I would come out with amedal, said Harry, who improvedfrom 36-8 as a freshman to 39-4 asa sophomore and 41-2 this season.

This year was different.Harry hopes to continue the

climb in the year ahead.Each year, you look at where

you are in comparison with theother kids, Lake-Lehman coach

Tom Williamssaid. He was eighthlast year and fourth this year. Heclosed the gap some.

I think he also knows there is alittle more work to be done.

Harry acknowledged that.Theres definitely room for im-

provement, he said. Im obvious-ly not perfect. I have a lot of workto do on my feet and on bottom. Ihave to get stronger.

Williams said Harry has shownthewillingness to do the worknec-

essary to make those steps.Hes an excellent leader, the

coach said. He tries to use thatability to motivate the other kidson the team. Hes self-motivated.He will go and do some extrathings outside of what we coacheshave instructed him to do. Hes al-

ways looking for ways to get a littlebetter workout.

As a result, Harry already has a116-14 record with 58 pins and sixtechnical falls with another yearto try to add to those impressivetotals and his medal collection.
