Two students and their par-ents spoke out at a school boardmeeting Monday against themetal detectors recently put touse in the senior high school.

Before the meeting began, theboard held a moment of silencein honor of 18-year-old DallasHigh School student ThomasLynch, of Harveys Lake, whodied in a car accident early Mon-day morning.

Board President Catherine Wega said Lynch was an EagleScout who had already enlistedin the U.S. military, and plannedto attend basic training in FortBenning, Ga.

He leaves a space in every-ones heart, said Wega.

During the meeting, parentsand students discussed the met-al detectors at Dallas HighSchool, which have been in usesince Feb. 6.

Principal Jeffrey Shaffer saidthe system is randomized - allstudents walk through the de-tection system when enteringthe new building, but only someare scanned.

Paul Paci, of Dallas, whosedaughter attends the school,said he disagrees with the no-tion that all students shouldhave to pass through the metaldetector because of the poorchoices of other students.

I dont believe good childrenshould be treated as criminals,

he said.He said students who wish to

commit harm on others will finda way to get a weapon into theschool regardless of metal detec-tors. Paci feels the detectors area violation of students constitu-tional rights.

Paci also said administratorsand teachers should know whothe troublemakers are, andthose students should be the on-ly ones scanned.

Board member Maureen Ma-tiska said the district cannot tar-get specific students, and thesystem has to be random to beeffective.

Probably any night you turnthe T.V. on, and you look atcrime in our area, and some-ones being paraded out, andtheyre interviewing the neigh-bors and the neighbors are say-ing, I cant believe it we livednext door to them for 10 years

and we had no idea, said Wega.We are doing the best we can.

Board member Colleen Slo-cum said because of incidentssuch as the Columbine HighSchool shooting in which twostudents killed 12 students andone teacher and injured nearlytwo dozen others in April 1999,schools need to be prepared tokeep students and faculty safe.

This is our new normal, shesaid.

Pacis daughter, Amanda, saidthe metal detectors are time-consuming, and dont leave herenough time before class to fin-ish her homework. She saidshes unable to complete home-work at home due to a part-timejob.

Senior Gavin Carolan, of Dal-

las, created T-shirts in protest ofthe metal detectors, but said theadministration had bannedthem on Monday. He said the T-shirts are bright orange andread PA Department of Correc-tions, Dallas High School, In-mate Number 570.

Carolan researched case lawand deemed the detectors andbanning students protests areboth unconstitutional.

Shaffer said he saw the shirtsas a disruption to the schoolslearning environment.

Amanda Paci also said shedidnt feel safe at the school be-cause faculty, staff and visitorsare not scanned for weapons.

About a dozen Dallas HighSchool Key Club membersspent their Valentines Day inan elementary school gym chas-ing little tykes to give local par-ents a night off.

The Key Club sponsored itsannual Valentines Day babysit-ting program at Dallas Elemen-tary on Tuesday.

The event suggested a dona-tion of $10, with all proceedsgoing to the Kids, K-9s andCops program of the Fallen Of-ficers Remembered organiza-tion, which helps provide bul-letproof vests to local police

dogs.Shannon Forrer, Key Club ad-

visor and learning support

teacher, said the club has of-fered the babysitting service forthe last three years. She saidparents must pre-register forthe event, and it is only for chil-dren ages 1 through 10.

The children stayed in thegym and library at the schoolfrom 5 to 10 p.m. They watchedmovies, colored and playedgames like Red Rover andbasketball.

Its a very informal service,said Forrer. Some of our kidshave CPR knowledge becausetheyre in the high school emer-gency response team and someare Boy Scouts.

Forrer, with her own toddler,2-year-old Madeline, in tow,said anyone with young chil-dren would appreciate the ser-vice.

Being a parent, just beingable to get out with your

spouse, especially in this hardeconomy, is priceless, she said.Its just so parents can getout and not worry about payingfor a babysitter or finding some-one to watch their kids. Thesethings dont happen very often.

A mandatory meeting was

held Wednesday for dozens of

Lake-Lehman elementary bas-

ketball parents to discuss an al-

tercation that occurred be-

tween two coaches last week.

Lake-Lehman Superintend-

ent James McGovern wouldnt

give specifics, but he said there

wasan altercation between two

Ross Elementary fifth and

sixth-grade boys basketball

coaches last week that escalat-

ed to a point of concern.

The administration suspend-

ed play among all elementary

basketball teams until suffi-

cient action could be taken.

McGovern said the elementary

basketball league is run by the

district and the school-wide

Parent-Teacher Organization,

which gives him the power to

make such decisions.

McGovern was satisfied with

the league presidents decision

asto what actiontotakeagainst

theadultsresponsiblefor theal-

tercation, but would not pro-

vide details.

McGovern said the league

willalso developa parentguide,coaches guide and a mission

for the program.

He also lifted the suspension

of the program, though some

teams have only one game re-

maining in the season.

McGovern said it wasnt the

firsttime incidents occurredon

the court andsaid emotionsran

high evenwhenhisson,now14,

playedon a fifthand sixth-grade

team two years ago.

Sometimes when we have

altercations, I gather mypeople

together and we talk about it,

he said. Maybe this is some-

thing we should do prior toeach season.

He brought the parents to-

gether to discuss how their ac-

tions affect the children and to

review the mission of the dis-

tricts sports programs.If youre one of those people

whothinkthe kidsarent watch-ing every single thing you do,

youre wrong, he said.

McGovern urged parents to

better understandhow theirac-tions affect students and how

sports help build students

character, but the outcomes of

gamesdo notmatterin thelong

run.

Though McGovern talked toparents pleasantly and told sto-

ries about his family through-

out the meeting, he had a stern

warning for parents at the end

of the night.

Never mistake my kindnessfor softness, because next time

we have one of these incidents,it will be the last, he said.

John Blaski, a Ross Elemen-

tary third and fourth-grade

girls basketball coach, felt thepresentation was necessary to

remind parents about conduct

during games.

Ive got five girls on the

court, and five girls behind me,

angry, they will beangry. Itry to

TO PRESENT TALENT SHOW

Lake Lehman School Dis-trict will see a difference of$48,413 in state funding for the2012-2013 school year, saidbusiness manager ThomasMelone, of the accounting firmAlbert B. Melone Company, ofPittston.

Melone told the schoolboard members Monday nightthat if the numbers hold outand nothing changes with thestates proposed budget, thedistrict will be flat funded.

Comparing school fundingfrom Gov. Tom Corbetts 2012-2013 budget proposal to fund-ing received from the state forthe 2011-2012 school year, Mel-one said the district may ex-pect to receive the same for ba-s ic e du ca ti on fun di ng o f $6,479,800, an increase of$44,380 in Social Security re-imbursement to $511,955, anincrease of $21,787 in pupiltransportation to $1,452,829 while special education fund-in g w il l h ol d st ea dy a t$1,113,910.

The district will not have theAccountability Block Grantfromthe Departmentof Educa-tion, which provided $114,580for the current school year.

With the absence of the

grant, the district will face anegative $48,413 in state fund-ing from 2011-2012 school yearto 2012-2013.

But with the states budgetapproval deadline of June 30still months away, Melonestressed the proposed statebudget numbers are just tenta-tive. He said since the pro-posed state budget could still

change, he will keep the schoolboard updated on the situa-tion.

Melone said that in figuringa possible surplus from the dis-tricts current school year, itlooks as through the districtcould, break even.

Last years significant cut ofstate funding caused a hole inthe budget which the schoolboard strived to fill, cuttingback on supplies and not re-placing retired teachers. Justlast month, the district ap-proved a preliminary budget of$27.4 million with a 4.4 in-crease to the mil rates of home-owners within the district.

A mill is $1 for every $1,000in average assessed propertyvalue.

In other news, school boardmembers approved a motion tohired the following instructorsfor the remainder of the 2011-2012 school year: Brian Marsh,

Berwick, as indoor color guardinstructor with a stipend of$2,334.43; Kaitlyn Martin,Sweet Valley, as volunteer as-sistant indoor color guard in-structor; Amber Angus, Toby-hanna, as volunteer indoorpercussion instructor; and Er-ic Boylan, Pittston, as volun-teer indoor percussion instruc-tor.

John Kudey, Swoyersville, was appointed to the positionof maintenance/HVAC at arate of $17 per hour.

An extended medical leave was approved for Judith Hell-er, food service staff, effectiveJanuary 16 through February10. Sick days and personal dayswill be used, followedby an un-paid leave of absence.

The next regular schoolboard meeting will be held at 7p.m. on Monday, March 19 inthe library of the Junior SeniorHigh School.

Dear Editor:I have been following the letters in the newspaper by the young

drivers and the new laws they have to conform to and dont like.There is a law they should understand and have a complete un-

derstating of and its not written in any driving manual, Bible, To-rah or Koran. Its in a physics book.

It is Sir Isaac Newtons third law of motion that stays For everyaction, there is an opposite and equal reaction. Its caused by thepush of gravity and affects everyone 24/7.

Learn it, understand it and dont drive until you do! It will savesomeones life, if not your own.

last year.(Ella Trimble) was so little

when she went through treat-ments, but I hope she will re-member memories of thingsshe did at THON, like havingfun with her brother and all theother kids, saidCarey. THONdoesbringgood memorieswithhaving cancer.

EllaTrimbleis 4 years oldandshe was last treated in Octoberfor Acute-Lymphoblastic Leu-kemia.

Carey said she hopes she canhave an effect on other familieslike those who supported herwhen she was battling the dis-ease.

Its something I alwaysthink

about, that my battle is mostlyover,but there arestillkids whoare diagnosed every day andfamilies still have to hear thattheir child has cancer at theHershey Medical Center andthroughout the world, said Ca-rey. This is about what we cando as students to financiallyhelp them, and what we can doto help them become survi-vors.

Careys first THON experi-ence in 2006 was one shell nev-er forget.

It was one of the coolest,most overwhelming experienc-es, she said. There were somany colors and people every-where, and it was also amazing

to know there was such a biggroup of students coming to-gether for a good cause.

After she graduates, Careyhopes to continue participatingin THON and other activitiesrelated to the Penn State Her-shey Childrens Hospital for

years to come.I want to actually become aphysicians assistant and work

with kids and families who aregoing through what I wentthrough, she said. I also wantto stay involved with THON Ill donate every year and come

backasmuchasIcantosupportthe students and families Ivegotten to know.
