EL Debater Qualifies To National Tourney Elk Lake junior Molly Copeland added her name to the list of over 200 Lincoln-Douglas Debate competitors at the 2006 Catholic Forensics League’s Grand National Tournament in Chicago, IL over Memorial Day weekend by placing in the top four at the Scranton Catholic Forensics League’s National Qualifying Tournament on March 4 at Wallenpaupack JHS. Copeland advanced to the elimination debate by defeating debaters from Pocono Mountain West, Mechanicsburg and Danville high schools. She lost her opening debate to Jeremy Stettler from Shikellamy High School.

Because there were no undefeated debaters after the four preliminary rounds, four run-off debates were held. Order and opponents were determined by preliminary record and speaker points. Since Copeland was the top-seeded debater, she had to face the 8th seeded debater, Jordan Smith, from Mechanicsburg. In the run-off debate Copeland won a split decision over Smith, whom she had beaten earlier in the day, and earned a trip to Nationals. Elk Lake’s other debater in the field, sophomore Karyn Hunsinger also advanced to a run-off debate and lost a split decision to Zak Pyzik from Pocono Mountain West HS. “For Molly (Copeland) this was the culmination of a year of hard work and determination. She put the effort all season and the experience paid off when it really counted,” commented EL Forensics Director Keith Brosious. “Karyn’s performance is also indicative of how far she has come this season as a debater,” added Brosious. Based on her wins at the tournament, Copeland has run her season LD Debate record to 36 wins and 14 losses. The team will travel to suburban Philadelphia for the Valley Forge District National Forensics League National Qualifier at LaSalle College HS. The top two finishers in each division will earn trips to Dallas, TX on the third week in June to compete at the NFL National Tournament.
Kyle Hanjaras, a 2005 graduate of the Susquehanna County Career and Technology Center Food Management Program, is currently a Culinary Arts major at the Pennsylvania College of Technology. In October 2005, Kyle returned to his Alma Mater to demonstrate his newly acquired skills to the ninth grade Food Management Exploratory Program. Mrs. Donna Evans, the Food Management instructor, was in awe of Kyle’s professionalism and skill level. His parents, Richard and Wendy Seymour of Burdick Creek Gardens, donated all of the fresh produce to provide a delicious “Pico de Gallo” for the students. Burdick Creek Gardens is one of the largest garlic producers on the east coast. They also specialize in bread dippers, hot sauce and fresh organic produce.
