Students reflected upona diffi-cult year while relishing in beingthe first class to graduate fromthenew highschool at theDallasSchool Districts51st commence-ment ceremony on June 15 atMountaineer Stadium.

Class President Sara Flahertytoldthe audiencethat graduationis more than just accepting apiece of paper known as a diplo-ma.

Together, we have grown

from nave children to youngmen and women of experienceand knowledge, she said. Wehave learned from each other tolaugh, love, grow and succeed.We have learned to deal with theroughest of times and we havelearnedthat, evenin devastation,thereis alwaysa shoulder to leanon.

Flaherty said students shouldkeep that reality in mind duringthe ceremony and recognized allthe experiences the studentshave shared throughout theyears.

Shealsoreflectedon theclasssexperience in the new highschool,whichopenedat thestartof the 2011-12 school year.

The last yearof high school is

exciting in itself, butthis year wehave had the privilege of experi-encing our last year in a brandnew school, she said. Newclassrooms to learn in, new tech-nology to allow us to excel, newpolicies to better our safety andnew facilities to giveoutstandingopportunities in extra-curricularactivities.

Flaherty thanked the schoolboard and administrators fortheir leadership, faculty andteachers for knowledgeand guid-

ance and families for their sup-port and roles as the backstagecrew.

The graduation featured a trib-ute to Thomas Lynch by his

friends, Amanda Kotch, ChelseaMartin, Elizabeth Hoover andAndrew Santora. Lynch died in avehicle crash in February.

Tom was the type of personthatonceyou methim,you couldnever forget him, said Kotch.His smile was truly contagious.Tom was always happy and al-wayshad thesame goofysmileonhisface.Whetherhe wasrunningthe hallsof theschool ina gorillasuit or wearing his infamous tie-dye pantswiththebigholeinthe

right knee,or justcrackingoneofhis endless jokes, Tom alwaysknew how to make people laughand found genuine joy in makingpeople smile.

Kotchsaid Lynch wasinvolvedin Boy Scout Troop 281and livedhis life to the Scout oath.

Tomlivedthe Scout laweveryday, always trying to help peoplewhenever he could lend a hand,she said.

Kotch said Lynch became anEagle Scout on his 18th birthdayin December, and then followedhis dream to become a memberof theU.S.military. He signedon

Lake-Lehman graduates werefidgeting withtheir robesbeforethey even sat down for the highschools 54thannual commence-ment on June13.

The144 youngmen and wom-en seemed anxious to start onthe path to adulthood, even be-fore speakers addressed thecrowd.

Student speakers reflected onthe accomplishments of theclass andaskedtheirclassmatesnotto focus on their mistakes of

the past but the potential oftheir futures.

Though Class President Ke-vin Katchko Jr. started hisspeech with a tongue-in-cheekquote from comedy writer Rob-ert Orben about the lack of indi-viduality at graduation ceremo-nies, Katchko said the idea istruly a key to success.

Individuality shows thateach person has a little some-thing that makes them differentfrom the person sitting next tothem, he told his classmates.

He congratulated theclass onallof itsaccomplishments,fromsports achievements to the un-precedented senior Christmasprogram to raising $50,184 for

charity through senior projects the highest total the schoolhas ever seen for such endeav-ors.

This class containsamazing,motivated students, hungry forwhat the world will bring tothem in the future, said Katch-ko. No matter what the futurewill bring, and Im sure it willbring many struggles, this classwill be ready.

He thanked teachers and par-ents who supported the classthroughout its 13 years in the

school system.Though he said it was chal-

lenging to find the right wordsto usein addressinghis class forthelasttime,hemanagedtofindone word that encompassed allhe wanted to say.

I believe thisclassfitsthe de-scription of a few words reallywell. The words include won-derful, first-rate, notable, re-markable, exceptionally out-standing and distinguished, hesaid. Does this class not modelthe ones just listed? . Thesewords all fall under the defini-tion of the word great.

StudentCouncilCo-PresidentRachel Holena told her fellow

seniors to respect their past butnot to let it determine their fu-ture.

She asked her classmates tolearn from their mistakes,as shedid when she was younger.

Holena said she and herbrothers loved to climb in theMcDonalds Play Place whenthey were younger and neverwantedto leave, but their moth-er would refuse to take themback if they didnt listen to her

The Lake-Lehman SchoolBoard narrowly approved thebudget for the 2012-13 schoolyear, which includes funds to de-velop a district-run daycare cen-ter, decreased health care costsfor teachers and other spendingstrategies.

In a 5-4 vote, board membersAndrew Salko, James Welby, Ri-chard Bombick, Walter Glogow-skiand KevinCareyvotedfor thebudget while Mark Kornoski, Bo

Kreller, KarenMastersand DavidPaulauskas voted against themeasure.

The $26.8 million spending

plan raises taxes to 9.27 mills, a4.26 percent increase for LuzerneCounty taxpayers within the dis-trict.

A mill is $1 for every $1,000 inassessed property value.

Theplan has$25.4 in revenues,leaving an approximately$730,000 deficit to be offset bythedistrict fundbalance,which isakin to a savings account.

Thistranslatesto an additional$56.81peryearfor theaverageas-sessed property valueof $150,000in Harveys Lake Borough andJackson, Lake, Lehman and Rosstownships. Residents in Noxen

Township in Wyoming Countywill actually see a decrease intheir taxbillsdue to district reba-lancing.

Kornoski said he couldnt voteforthebudget after theboard vot-ed to offer teachers a 2.6 percentpay increase for the 2013-14 and2014-15 school years at a specialmeeting on June 15.

Thedistrict didmanage to savemoneyon healthcareas planned.Superintendent James McGov-ern said the district had plannedto seek health care outside the

Northeastern PennsylvaniaSchool Health Trust but remaininits visionand dentalprograms.Thetwo partiescame to an agree-

ment afterthe trustfileda lawsuitagainst the district.

We willreceivethebenefitsweproposed but it will be throughthehealth trust,said McGovern.

Healso saidthe district still in-tends to withdraw from thehealth trust by June 2013, andthat will not affect teachers con-tracts in the future.

Residents expressed concern

over the districts financial futureafter a presentation by businessmanager Tom Melone.

These numbers are terrify-

ing, said resident Todd DeRosa.One item at the peak of discus-

sion wasthe districts proposal torenovate a portion of Lehman-Jackson Elementary to makewayfor a daycare facility staffed byHildebrandtLearningCenterem-ployees.

McGovern said $100,000 hasbeen budgeted to determinewhether the plan is feasible as analternativerevenuesourcefor theschools.

Residents questioned why thedistrict partnered with a child-care facility from outside the dis-trict.

Youre eliminating small busi-nesses from this area, said resi-dent Gail Ide.

McGovern said there will be

guaranteedprofit fromthe centerafter rates are established and hesaid the center would run along-side other childcare facilities inthearea,not competewiththem.

The board also appointed fivecounselors for the districts sum-mercamp program, oneof whichis Barbara Paulauskas, wife ofboardmemberDavidPaulauskas.Paulauskas abstained from thevote and Bombick voted againstthe measure.

McGovern said five positionswere open and the district re-ceived17 applications for the po-sitions.

YOUR SPACE

By Samantha Weaver It is still not known who made the following sage observation:

Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained bystupidity.

If you are an aficionado of the word game Scrabble, you prob-ably know that there are only five words that can be played using a qbut no u. In case youre not in the know, those words are faqir,qaid, qoph, qindar and qintar.

In 1774, surveyors in Maryland marked off a parcel of land bymistake. The error was immortalized when the town that grew up onthat land adopted the name Accident.

The English word mistletoe comes from an Anglo-Saxonphrase that means dung on a twig. It seems that the brancheswhere mistletoe is often found have white splotches on them, whichsome say resemble bird droppings.

The martial art that is known today as karate actually originatedin India and spread to China before becoming popular in 17th-centuryJapan, where it was dubbed karate, which means empty hand inJapanese.

These days youll rarely see an elected official with a beard, butfacial hair wasnt always considered to be a liability in politics. In fact,its been reported that Abraham Lincoln was inspired to grow a beardwhile he was running for president in 1860 because of a letter froman 11-year-old girl. Grace Bedell wrote to Lincoln that a beard wouldmake him "look a great deal better, for your face is so thin. All theladies like whiskers."

When the United States bought Alaska from Russia in 1867, thegoing price was 2 cents an acre.

On June 25, 1956, the last Packard rolls off the production line atPackards plant in Detroit. The classic American luxury car used thefamously enigmatic slogan Ask the Man Who Owns One.

On June 30, 1962, Sandy Koufax strikes out 13 batters and walksfive to lead the Brooklyn Dodgers over the New York Mets 5-0 withhis first career no-hitter. Koufax went on to throw three more no-hitters, including a perfect game on Sept. 9, 1965, in which he allowedno hits and no walks.

On July 1, 1979, the Sony Walkman - the worlds first low-cost,portable music player - goes on sale in Japan. The initial productionrun of 30,000 units looked to be too ambitious, as only 3,000 weresold at $150 apiece in the first month. Some 200 million sales later,Sony retired the cassette Walkman in 2010.

Several senior center mem-bers met at the Edwardsvillecenter on June 20 with officialsfrom the county Area Agency onAging to discuss the prospectsof a new Dallas Senior Center.

Trula Hollywood, executivedirector of the agency, told sev-eral seniors in attendance therewere only a few locations thatresponded to the agencys re-quests for proposals, and manydid not meet the criteria for acenter.

The former Dallas SeniorCenter, located on Rice Street inDallas Borough, was evacuateddue to problems with mold,rust and safety issues, said Hol-lywood.

Hollywood told the seniors,who have been without a centerto call their own since March,that the Kingston TownshipMunicipal Building has been of-fered.

She added, however, that thelower level of the KingstonTownship Municipal Buildingon East Center Street in Shaver-town features disjointed roomsthat will be in use by othergroups in the evening hours.The facility also does not in-

clude a kitchen and hot lunch isa primary aspect of the seniorcitizens program.

Dallas resident Alfreda Su-sie Malak said shes disappoint-ed there havent been many of-fers from the Dallas area tohouse the center when there areso many buildings without ten-ants.

Linda Kohut, director of com-munity services for the countyArea Agency on Aging, said thelaw states the agency cannotpurchase property space canbe donated or rented for thecenter.

There are also many consid-

erations for centers, includingsafety concerns, transportationaccessibility, having enoughspace for activities, being ADA(Americans with DisabilitiesAct) accessible and others.

Many residents have beentraveling to the Edwardsville Se-nior Center on Russell Street atleast once a week thats a de-crease in participation from thenear-daily trips Malak and herhusband Joe would make to theDallas center.

Transportation is an issue tothe Edwardsville center andsolving that problem would be

an additional cost to Dallas se-niors.

Hollywood said the residentsseemed in favor of pursuing thebidding process again and stay-ing at the Edwardsville centerin the meantime.

Malak said she hopes the se-niors dont get stuck attendingthe Edwardsville center perma-nently.

Kohut encouraged the seniorsto call the agency with tips forspace so she could explain thebidding process to propertyowners who may want to assistthe Dallas seniors.

bles that chanced off dozens ofband trophies and musical re-cordings from Miliauskas ca-reer.

Officials said the moneyraised will benefit band studentsthrough scholarships and sup-plementing the program.

Yurko Carmer said it was im-portant to her to organize aband-specific reunion becauseher friends during high schoolwere different ages but had mu-sic in common.

Whenever I heard about myclass reunions, I didnt want togo because I didnt feel close tomy class, she said. I felt moreconnected to the band, and myfriends in band were five yearsahead of me and five years be-hind. We traveled together, prac-ticed almost every day together that was my family.

Piatt Ide, who played the bellsin the award-winning band,spoke to the packed auditorium

during a service for Miliauskasabout one of the most memora-ble experiences she had while amember of the marching band.

She said the band had beeninvited to play during the Na-tional Cherry Blossom FestivalParade in Washington, D.C. In1968 she remembered thedate, April 4, because it wasshortly after her grandmotherpassed away.

Piatt Ide said her mother de-manded that she and her broth-ers attend the trip becausethere was no way theywouldnt accompany Miliauskas.

Band members,, however, nev-er had the chance to play a sin-gle note in the nations capital asthey were told to leave almostimmediately upon arrival be-cause of the riots that began notlong after Martin Luther KingJr.was assassinated.

We were going to have ourpicture taken at the Capitolbuilding, and we saw blacksmoke and we were told to packand leave, said Piatt Ide. Mr.Miliauskas didnt want to leave,but we did anyway.

She said the bus ran every

red light as she saw people withmachetes and other weaponslooting and rioting.

We didnt get home until 3a.m., but we did get to go toGrandma Piatts funeral, shesaid.

Throughout Miliauskas ca-reer, the Lake-Lehman HighSchool Marching Band attendedthe National Cherry BlossomFestival Parade two other times,placing in the top five in the na-tional band competition. Theband also played during Nation-al Football League games, MissAmerica Pageants and in bandcompetitions up and down theeast coast.

Former students reflected onhow Miliauskas demanded thesame pride and perfection dur-ing hometown parades in Jack-son, Ross and Lehman town-ships as he did in national bandcompetitions.

He always said you need topractice and play with pride anddo the best you can, said GregJames of the class of 1976.

Other students poked fun atMiliauskas tendency towardsdiscipline on and off the field.Several speakers told him andthe audience that their militarytraining was nothing comparedto being part of the Lake-Leh-man High School Band.

Theres the terrifying memo-ry of field practice, when youcame running onto the field withyour scarlet-red face and the firein your eyes, said James to Mi-liauskas as the audiencelaughed.

But all former musicians whospoke at the event made sure tothank Miliauskas, who stillteaches music privately.

I remember 99 percent ofthem, and which instrumentthey played, said Miliauskas.


Alumni and friends look over Lake-Lehman band trophies and plaques won during the tenure of former band director John Miliauskasfrom 1957-1989. Trophies were raffled off to benefit future Miliauskas Scholarship rec ipients.
