Candidates (continued from page 1) which covers the Middle and South- west Districts of Lehman Town- ship; and Jeffrey Fritzen, the in- cumbent, from Region III covering Jackson Township and the Oak Hill Area. Fritzen is running unopposed in Region III; Region II candidates are competing for the two seats in their area and four candidates are running for the two vacant seats in Region I. There was very little difference in the opinions among the candi- dates as they answered questions presented by moderator Phyllis Belk, director of university rela- tions and marketing at Penn State Wilkes-Barre Campus. The question, “Which of the fol- lowing do you believe necessary for effective education?, A. Quality, B. Cost, C. Other,” was answered much the same by each candidate beginning with Sichler who said, “Both quality and cost are neces- sary just as in business both are necessary to be successful and in the district, business is education. We measure our cost per student and compare it with the cost in the county and state.” The other candidates answered the question in similar terms with the exception of Samuels who said, “Education seems to be going downhill. I don’t know how to cor- rect it but if elected I will try.” Belk then asked questions sub- mitted by the audience directed at certain candidates. Kopko who was asked how informed he thought he was about issues said, “I'm not familiar with all of the issues since I didn’t attend many board meet- ings. I didn't intend to run until January but if elected I will be- come informed as quickly as pos- sible.” The candidates from Region II were asked it they thought televi- sion should be part of the stu- dents’ classroom education. They agreed that it should be tried but dropped after ayear ifit proved not to be worthwhile. The issue of supporting a post run bus for after school activities was supported by all of the candi- dates if the budget would allow it. When asked the questionin what areas would budget cuts be made if necessary,” Kovach said the cuts ‘would have to be made across the board. “We couldn't cut in one specific area.” “Cutting staff would be difficult because the district is not over- staffed,” said Sichler. “We can't increase the number in the class- rooms but we might be able to cut costs in inventory control but we would have to look at all areas not just one.” “I'm not familiar with the budget classifications so I can't give a straight answer,” said Kopko. Asked to give a projection on millage increase to finance the upcoming budget, all candidates gave approximately the same an- swer; that upcoming tax needs won't be determined until the state decides how much aid the district will receive. They also were in agree- ment that classes should not be any larger in size than 20 to 25 students especially in the elemen- tary grades. The final question was what motivated them to want to be a board member. Kovach said, “I have always been community-oriented and I have two daughters in the district. I have good working relations and feel I could do a good job.” Kopko said. “There were no teachers onthe board and I wanted to see if I could make some contri- butions which would be an asset.” “I have a son in kindergarten and I was a a former recreation advisor, and worked at Red Rock as an advisor. I feel I have some- thing to give to the community,” said Rossi. Samuels said, “I have been at- tending board meetings for a long time and have been sitting on the outside. If] am elected I will know ‘what the answers are. I think more details on topic should come out theopenandIamretiredand h the time.” : 8 6aniy Co-sponsored by The Back Mountain Citizens Council and The Dallas Post J J A Fe Fe Fe ek de kp Your chance to meet the candidates for County Commissioner and Judicial openings - AAI KEI KAK VOTE on Tues., May 21st WHEN: Wednesday, May 8, 7:30 p.m. WHERE: Room 105, Hayfield House, Penn State Campus, Lehman FORMAT: Candidates for County Commisioner will make statements and accept questions.
