Kelly Martin Johnson is the new Dallas High School girls basketball coach.
Doug Miller is the new boys basketball coach at Dallas High School.
The Dallas High School basketball program has two new leaders this season. Kelly Martin Johnson, of Trucksville, recently replaced former head girls basketball coach Mary Jo Hromchak, but shes not new to coaching within the district. Originally from Williamsport, Martin Johnson has been a Dallas coach for the last six years, and she has been able to move up the ranks with many players she has mentored during her tenure with the district.
Shes been coaching for a total of 11 years, with experience on the seventh and eighth-grade girls team, the freshman team and the junior varsity team. Its very rewarding to see the kids get better over time, she said. The longtime coach has been in love with the game since she was a little girl when her father coached a church basketball league. Me and my two sisters were cheerleaders, she laughed. We spent a lot of time in the gym and I developed a passion for the game. Martin Johnson continued her basketball career through
middle and high school and played for Slippery Rock University after receiving a scholarship for her basketball prowess. She emphasizes fundamental basketball skills in her coaching style and wants her players to understand the life lessons involved in basketball, too. Its important to be in good physical shape, to develop teamwork and respect for other players and the game, she said. Schedule coordination is important, too, with balancing academics and basketball. Martin Johnsons favorite pastimes outside of basketball include even more basketball. She coaches a youth league with her
husband, Mark Johnson, on which her twin daughters, Olivia and Hanna Johnson, play. Another daughter, Samantha Martin, graduated from Dallas last year and was a member of the girls basketball team. She now plays for Albright College. Martin Johnson also has a stepson, Matthew Johnson. We spend a lot of time in the gym, said Martin Johnson. My family and I are together a lot. Doug Miller, of Exeter, will serve as head boys basketball coach after Ted Jackson Jr. resigned in November from the position he held for seven years.

The Dallas School Board discussed Monday an expansion of the high school schedule that will allow students to take on extra courses next year. Superintendent Frank Galicki said the board is considering switching from the four-period block-style schedule to a five-period schedule. Currently, students have four 81-minute periods in a day, with some courses lasting only nine weeks and others all year long. There is also a flex period at the end of the day which students utilize to get one-on-one help with teachers or meet with academic clubs. He said the goal is to utilize the new high school facility to
its fullest potential while also offering students more educational opportunities. Each period would be decreased to 73 minutes. The first period of the day would be 76 minutes with the elimination of homeroom, during which teachers track students attendance. The flex period will be eliminated with the new scheduling, but there may be time built into the schedule to allow students some free time for personal pursuits. Galicki said high school principal Jeff Shaffer has been working on a new scheduling system for two years, but delayed its inception due to the completion of the high school in September. The school was built with more space for related arts courses, including food technol-
ogy, prototyping and broadcast journalism courses, but Galicki said students had trouble adding these classes to their schedules because of the four-period limitation. Weve had a lot of feedback from the kids, a lot of feedback from the community, that they would love very much some more options, some more opportunities, to get into some of these courses, he said. Board President Catherine Wega said no new teachers would be needed to expand upon current course offerings. She said adding the extra period in the day would also unlock current teachers schedules, allowing them to instruct extra courses. Galicki said there may be a need for some additional staff training, but he expects teach-
ers to embrace the scheduling change. Wega also said there would be a need for some course materials, but most of the necessities have already been purchased for the new classes. Right now were going to have to maximize what we have, said Galicki. The block schedule has been in place since 1995, and the school previously worked on a conventional, eight-period

Bridge is a serious card game. Its quiet at the Irem Temple Country Club in Dallas Township as tables of three players stare intently at their cards. Players quickly draw cards clockwise, or they utter the word pass. A whirlwind of a game, its usually over before bystanders can understand whats going on. Ive been doing this for three years, and I still dont know how to play, laughed Melina Clymo, banquetcaptainatIrem.Sheservesthe group lunch while members play, often on the third Friday of every monthfromOctoberthroughJune. The Shriners Hospitals for Children Marathon Bridge Group pays regular dues and donates money to the hospital at the end of the year. The group usually plays for four hours once a month, breaking for lunch. Maryanne Davies, of Shavertown, has been part of the group for about10 years. She wanted to learn bridge when she retired, and now she plays in various groups and tournaments throughout the area. The Irem group has dwindled over the years due to previous members ages and health conditions, and Davies would like to see a younger crowd participate. It really makes you think, said Davies. It keeps challenging the brain. The bridge group is actively seeking substitute players, who do not have to pay any fees to play. Jane Torr, of Dallas Township, has been playing bridge for more

than 50 years and enjoys the game for its competitiveness. There are no friends at the bridge table, she said, laughing. Bernadine Luksic, of Shavertown, learned how to play bridge from a former priest years ago, and hasnt stopped playing since. She evenplayswithagroupattheWestmoreland Country Club in WilkesBarre three times a week. You start as a rookie and you make mistakes but you get better and better and better, said the 10year bridge player. Im way far from being good at it. Torr said the American Contract Bridge League, based in Mississippi, once sponsored clubs in high schools throughout the country to get young students involved in the game. Its dying out, said Torr. People dont have time to learn. Davies said just watching a card game can be helpful for newbies, but the best way to learn the game is to find a professional teacher. According to the American Contract Bridge League website, official bridge instructors are located in Shavertown, Clarks Summit, Scranton and Bear Creek. When I was younger, we used to play cards to amuse ourselves, said Luksic. Now everything is abouttechnology.Myhusbandand I used to play pitch every Saturday

Miller is a newcomer to the Dallas School District, but hes coached girls teams at Wyoming Area, Pittston Area and Holy Redeemer for the last eight years. Hes also the director of the Rock Recreation Center in Trucksville where he has coached various youth leagues, including some students who are now on the Dallas team. The first day of practice I had about 20 kid and I knew about17 of them, said Miller. Miller grew up in Franklin County, near Lancaster, and graduated from Waynesboro Area High School where he finished his senior year on a team with a standing of 42-8. Miller then worked for JC Penney for 15 years, eventually moving to Northeastern Pennsylvania. All the while he coached youth leagues, including those on which his three children played.

Shaffer will present more information about the scheduling changes at the boards meeting next Monday. He will present an updated course outline booklet for the high school in early February. In other news Business Manager Grant Palfey said the district will keep its promise of not raising taxes
above the Act 1 index this year. The Act 1 index is based on the state weekly wage index and limits the percentage by which school districts can raise taxes. The Act 1 index for the 2012-13 school year is 2.1 percent. Districts must apply for special exceptions if they plan to raise taxes above the limit. The potential for a 2.1 percent hike would translate to a maximum tax increase of $37 per household for the year. Palfey said the district could apply for exceptions in special education and employee pensions, but recommended to the board that the district remain at or below the index because of past tax increases to pay for the new high school building.
