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.

Township supervisors tabled

a motion to establish a four-way

stop sign at the intersection of

East Center and North Main

Streets, pending a traffic study

ship to have a full understand-

ing of safety issues and traffic

patterns affecting the intersec-

tion before voting on the issue.

we should

and I believe

it will reflect

the need for a

four-way stop

intersection,

said Kings-ton Township

Chief of Police

Jim Balavage.

Shavertown

Fire Chief

cerns in regard

to the sign, saying it could re-

sult in increased traffic conges-

tion and affect traffic flow from

tion of the traffic study.

The board also tabled a mo-tion to make South Main Street

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.

Baker sponsors bill regarding finanial dislosures

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.
