There is currently no legislation in the state that requires school districts to conduct emergency lockdown drills. And that’s something State Rep. Sid Kavulich wants to see change. “Schools have always worked for the safety of their students,” Kavulich explained. “Fire drills have been going on forever, but in this day and age, Rep. Hackett and I feel we need to be prepared for a different sort of threat.” Kavulich, who is a Democrat, teamed up with Republican Joseph Hackett from the 161 district. “There is absolutely no reason why we can’t come together and work together on something as important as the safety of our children,” he said. Current law requires schools to have emergency management plans in place and conduct monthly fire drills; however, there is no requirement that the plans be rehearsed or ensure that faculty, staff and students are pre-

pared in emergency scenarios. “This is a bipartisan effort to make sure our students, teachers and administrators are fully aware of what to do if an emergency strikes. We practice fire drills and we should practice emergency lockdowns to ensure the safety of those who are a part of our educational system,” Kavulich said. “Pennsylvania is like a time-bomb ticking,” Rep. Hackett stated during a Lackawanna County press conference announcing the proposed legislation. “What I mean is that there is currently a lack of training for our teachers and our students as to how to respond in an emergency. Compared to other states, Pennsylvania is behind the times.” According to Hackett, students are 35 percent more likely to be part of a violent incident in schools than an active fire during the

school day. “Less than one percent of incidents involve fire in a schools across the state, but our schools are mandated to hold fire drills once a month,” he added. Kavuilich and Hackett are proposing to reduce the number of required fire drills and replace them with more “effective” lockdown drills. “Pennsylvania is not immune; it’s time and it makes sense,” remarked Assistant District Attorney Eugene Talerico. “When that call comes in, wouldn’t it be better to know ‘We’ve planned for this, we’ve trained for this?’” “It’s definitely time to update the law to reflect the reality that we face in 2015,” added Michael Mahon, superintendent of the Abington Heights School District.

Lady Vikes coach reflects on record by Dave Lauriha
TRIBORO BANNER WRITER
After an injury-riddled 2013-14 campaign, the Riverside Lady Vikes got through this season relatively unscathed. The end result was decidedly a mixed bag. The good news: Riverside reached the District 2 Class AA semifinals, and fell one victory shy of qualifying for the state tournament. The bad news: The Lady Vikes lost 13 games on the season. “We’re disappointed we didn’t win a few more games,” Lady Vikes head coach Jack Mekilo said. “We thought we could have done a little bit better than that, but we ended up in the final four of the District 2 playoffs, and districts were loaded. “We were able to play some of our best basketball at the end of the year, and as a coach, that’s what you’re looking for.” Riverside opened district play as the 11th seed with an 11-11 record, and stepped up with impressive wins over No. 6 Elk Lake and No. 3 Montrose. But the season ended with losses to division rivals Dunmore and Holy Cross, closing out a .500 season. ”We lost to a lot of good teams. Three losses to Dunmore, three to Holy Cross, three to Old Forge, and they’re all in the state playoffs,” Mekilo said. “We lost to North Pocono, who was very good, won their division and made the state tournament, and we lost to Nanticoke. That’s 11 of our 13 losses right there. “Losing to those teams isn’t anything to be ashamed of, but at the same time, we have to start beating those teams.” With current sophomores Lizzie Spindler, Mackenzie Haduck and Shelby Slaboda returning from the starting lineup for next season, Mekilo expects those memories are going to linger long in the minds of the young Lady Vikes. “Getting the opportunity to be in the
final four of the district playoffs is really going to help us going forward,” Mekilo said. “We didn’t win the last two games, but we were obviously up against very good teams. “We got to see how intense those games are, we got to see what it takes to win those games, and that’s going to pay off down the road.” In Spindler and Slaboda, the Lady Vikes will have a pair of juniors next year who finished among the top 10 in scoring in the Lackawanna League brutally tough Division III. Add in Haduck, and there will be plenty of experience on the floor for Riverside, which will lose only Lauren Grzyboski and Taylor Tilberry to graduation. “We played a lot of underclassmen this year, a lot of sophomores,” Mekilo said. “There were times we had four sophomores and a freshman out there. When you have those kind of people returning, it’s exciting. “The big key for us is what kind of summer are we going to have. We’ve got to get better over the summer. If we can have a good summer, we’ll have a good regular season.” Slaboda used a strong summer stretch last year which propelled the sophomore into a starting role that she maintained all season, including back-to-back 20-plus point games. Watching her improve so dramatically has solidified Mekilo’s belief in the off-season conditioning and play. “We need to get better, collectively, over the spring and summer months,” Mekilo said. “It seems like we have the kind of group going forward that’s going to be very committed to the game, and very committed to working in the off-season. That’s the area we can make up ground on the teams we’re chasing.” That will be when Mekilo will find out who can step in and win a starting job, doing the little, often unsung, things Grzyboski and Tilberry did for the Lady Vikes.

the things that don’t always show up in the box score,” Mekilo said. “We lost two girls who we’re going to have a hard time replacing. They both contributed significantly to our success this year, and we’re going to have to find some people that can do what they did for us this
season.” Last year’s off-season went well enough that the Lady Vikes were able to make the district semifinals. This time around, Mekilo would like to see his team’s record end the season above the .500 mark that it has been at the last two seasons.
