DOVE Post Staff Colorful silk banners whipped and swirled in the air April 9 as fourteen members of the Lake- Lehman Indoor Guard drilled for “an upcoming competition. An offshoot of the “traditional” color guard, Indoor Guard com- bines precision movements with silks and dance routines to music, | according to advisor Mrs. Mau- reen Roberts. “Students from our band’s color guard join with others in grades 7- 12 who have tried out for Indoor Guard during the winter season,” Mrs. Roberts said. “Most of the Indoor guard members come from the marching band. I'd really like to see more non-music students involved.” “Indoor Guard requires well- developed senses of rhythm and timing, as well as body coordina- tion, lots of stamina and a good memory. Students learn self-con- fidence, poise and how to handle an audience and TV cameras at very close range,” she continued. ~~ Each year the team’s instruc- tor, Todd Marcocci of West Chester selects a theme and music and devises routines combining dance and precision movements. This year's theme is friendship, using music from the movie “Robin Hood.” Silks and rustic costumes resemble those worn by Robin Hood's “merry men,” with match- ing silks and flags. . At a recent practice, students rehearsed their dance movements and expertly tossed silks and banners as Marcocci counted cadence. ~ Eyes glued to her banner, ninth- grader Jennifer Stark patiently practiced flipping and tossing it into the air as part of a compli- cated routine. “It's hard, but it's worth it,” she said. Seniors Tammie Yetter and “We all have to work together as a team. You have to want to to do your best for the others as well as for yourself.” Tammie Yetter Indoor Guard member Sherry Bowman fine-tuned a rou- tine, synchronizing their move- ments to Marcocci’s cadence. “I've been with Indoor Guard for three years,” said Sherry. “It takes a lot of dedication and we have to stay in shape all year around.” - “We all have to work together as a team. You have to want to to do your best for the others as well as for yourself,” Tammie agreed. “It's a lot of fun, going to so many new places and making new friends.” “But sometimes it's nerve-rack- ing,” laughed Tammy Kopko, a junior. “Indoor Guard takes a lot of dedication and self-discipline,” commented Mrs. Diane Brown of Harveys Lake, whose daughter Heather, a tenth-grader, has been in the program for three years. “It's a big responsibility for the kids, to have to follow schedules and take care of their own equip- ment while at competition. I think it's a great acitivity.” Although the school district helps out with some of the costs of the group's activities, Indoor Guard members, their parents and friends from the band raise funds to help make up the difference. They also pool talents to make all of the costumes, banners and silks. Lake-Lehman High School has sponsored Indoor Guard for 15 years; Mrs. Roberts has been advi- sor for the past three years.

Dove) Lehman Indoor Guard has won first place trophies at competitions at Salisbury and Cumberland Valley high schools and a second place competing at Southern Le- high High School. The squad is currently practic- ing for a competition April 25 at Dallas High School sponsored by Tsunami Blue, an independent open class indoor guard whose members come from many area high schools. No other area school district has an Indoor Guard, says Mrs. Roberts, so most competitions are at least 1-1/2 to 2 hours away.

Luizzo is also hopeful that the survey will prompt some larger businesses to start carpools. g "PennDOT is'currently conduict- ing a traffic count to determine how many vehicles roll through the area daily. A traffic count taken in Septem- ber of 1991, before the final leg of the Cross Valley Expressway opened, showed that 36,405 ve- hicles travelled Route 309 daily. The results from the latest sur- vey will be compiled in mid-May, said Luizzo. Over the past several months, the Traffic Management Associa- tion, made up of municipal offi- cials, police chiefs, businessmen and concerned citizens, has made a variety of suggestions for road improvements on Route 309 and adjoining. PennDOT has earmarked $2.5 million for road improvements in the Back Mountain over the next two years. Some of the major suggestions for road improvements are for traf- fic lights on Route 309 at Franklin Street in Shavertown, Center Hill Road by Picketts Charge in Dallas, and Main Street near Offset Paper- back, and widening Carverton Road to accomodate a right turn lane at Route 309. Borton Lawson Engineering of Hanover Township is currently examining the proposals to deter- mine their feasibility and their cost so they can be ranked in priority for funding.
