      So, what do you think...  should this person remain a member of the School Board?

    Lackawanna County, Eric Kovaleski, arrested for possession of cocaine after he was stopped for running a red light in Scraton.
  • Robert k on 17 Mar 11
     
    I think he should be fired.
  • ryan p on 17 Mar 11
     
    No i do not think that the superintendent should still remain a member. He broke a law and in school they tell that drugs are bad and you shouldn't do them, but he does them and got caught. If he stays a member the kids might get the idea that drugs are okay to do.
  • luke h on 17 Mar 11
     
    No I do not think that he should be because thats harming the students and if you do that then there just has to be something wrong with that person. Get that person out of there fire him.
  • Joe Derr on 17 Mar 11
     
    Like Ryan said he should be fired, he broke the law and thats the end of the line for him it would'nt be right for him to stay on the school board and be making decisions for students.
  • rachel t on 17 Mar 11
     
    I don't think that it's okay that he's still a member of the school board. He's setting a bad example for not only the students, but the community.
  • john c. on 17 Mar 11
     
    No, he should definitely not be. It's cocaine. It's a serious drug.
  • Lucas K on 17 Mar 11
     
    I do not think he should be fired. Although cocaine is a harder drug then most others, the man never had any or caused any problems since he has been part of the school board. I think it's in his best interest to resign only because he has made a name for himself already and it will be hard to prove to kids in his school that he's drug free.
  • Kristen D. on 17 Mar 11
     
    I think that this guy should be fired. He is suppose to be a role model to the students and is on drugs? This is totally unacceptable. If I had a kid that went to that school I would be very afraid. Drugs are nothing to play with at the day in age and if your taking them you should not be around kids.
  • brittany v on 22 Mar 11
     
    I think he should have been fired also because no one should be doing drugs. Since he worked for a school he should of definetly been against it but he wasnt. If you want to do drugs it is your own fault for risking your job.
  • Stephanie A on 23 Mar 11
     
    He should not be aloud around the school and he should be kicked of the school borad for selling drugs....we need to get drugsd of the streets and now adults are giveing them to kids to use or even sell . that is not right

    Shamokin fire bureau will be holding it's annual banquet for firefighters. The honoring of firefighters started in 1911 and this year marks the 100th consecutive banquet
  • kayleen k. on 24 Mar 11
     
    I think it is really good that they have an annual banquet to honor firefighters. They risk their life every time they go out to fight a fire and really are so brave. They deserved to be praised
  • Suzie Nestico on 31 Mar 11
     
    Absolutely, Kayleen! Good point! We can make the world just a little better by thanking those that do great things and firefighters certainly qualify!

Some cattle of the Cormack family farm almost incinerated by fast moving flames. Forest service responded to 17 new fires over the weekend and to firefighters have dies so far with others having numerous injures.

    if two planes get close enough to hit each other there is something wrong with the air control station, someone was not performing there job well.

    The Air France Airbus 380 hit the smaller plane while taxiing to the runway for takeoff. The smaller plane then caught on fire. Emergency crews eventually put the fire out.The passangers remained calm as they were alerted to what happened. After a few hours the plane was evacuated and everyone was safe. Their luggage was also ok. This happened because the smaller plane was landing when the other was getting ready for take off. Everyone was safe.
  • luke h on 12 Apr 11
     
    I think that if your trained to fly then you should have to watch where your going just like in a car unless you cant see where your going or in this case flying.
  • jon k on 12 Apr 11
     
    well apparently someone wasnt doing their job if planes hit each other unless there was communication mix ups. thats bad though how cant you notice 2 planes aboyt too hit.
  • john c. on 12 Apr 11
     
    I agree. It takes a lot more than just being awake to control an airport. Someone wasnt doing their job.
  • brett p on 12 Apr 11
     
    Someone should be fired.
  • mikael h on 12 Apr 11
     
    I do not understand how this happened. How could someone at the airport let the planes in the same area at the same time!
  • Dominic W. on 12 Apr 11
     
    The people flying this plane are not to blame, the people in the control towers should be able to maintain control of these kind of things. I wouldn't be too happy about this because of somebody else being careless.

    57-year-old Jacqueline Berghorn came face-to-face with a bear at her home in Center Harbor, New Hampshire. It pushed her down and she hit a glass door. The bear then ran away, right through a fence. Berghorn said it came back and her husband fired two shots at it. He missed and the bear ran off.One of Berghorn's neighbors said a bear killed six chickens on his property Sunday, but it's believed to be a different bear.

    That lady is really lucky that bear did grab a good hold of her.
  • Kristen D. on 24 May 11
     
    Something must have triggered the bear to do something like that. Normally bears are very afraid of people unless their cubs are around or they're harmed.
  • Corey N on 24 May 11
     
    Thats something that will jump start your day. Being attacked by a bear. Invest in a fence like in jurassic park, no bear would be even close to the household let alone the people inside.
  • brett p on 24 May 11
     
    She must have found her pepper spray.
  • kayleen k. on 24 May 11
     
    I agree there had to be something that set the bear off. Whether it was hungry or scared it might have had a motive. At least no one was hurt.
  • James K on 24 May 11
     
    I agree with kayleen, the bear must have a motive behind doing this. Black bears arent really that mean of bears. they usually keep to themselves.
  • Angela S on 24 May 11
     
    It's not unlikely to have bears around our houses and places where we do activities. We just need to be careful in case we do see one to know what to do.

  • Stephanie A on 19 Apr 11
     
    I think its school for Tristan to save his little sister like that. I would have done the same thing if that happened to me. And it amazing how he learned CPR on t.v.
  • brett p on 19 Apr 11
     
    Tristin must be a really smart kid by learning CPR from tv. I wonder if the mother knew how to perform it.
  • Robert k on 26 Apr 11
     
    He has to be good at learning if he learned CPR from tv.
