BY BRANDY RISSMILLER STAFF WRITER brissmillerrepublicanherald.c6m SAINT CLAIR The borough council adopted the National Incident Management System resolution during its meeting Tuesday night As part of a homeland security directive, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security developed the NIMS to provide a consistent, nationwide approach for federal, state, local and tribal governments to work together more effectively and efficiently, according to the Federal Emergency Man FRAILEY Continued from Page 3 a candy sale is expected to bring in another $1,000. Other activities include a benefit basketball game and a spirit banner sale. "We are not just looking for the band to represent the school with the fresh look, we also want them to represent the communitx" Stoner said. "There is a strong military contingent in the community and these uniforms will fit into that. They are a drum corps style and will add a tremendous amount of pride with the fresh contemporary style." The most unique aspect of the uniform is the white helmet with plume, according to Stoner, who said he is working to increase the number of band members by making band cool again.

As seventh-grade students cycle in to Stoner's music class every nine weeks, he encourages those he believes have ability to join the band. "I am trying to get the kids to believe in themselves and I think the band has been on the lower side of cool for too long," he said. "Also, as we look ahead, we are trying to take the band beyond Shenandoah." Stoner said he would like to see the musicians perform in the Harrisburg Holiday parade and the Veterans' Day Parade in New York City. "That is one of the reasons we want Schuylkill County on our banner, to make sure we are representing the entire coal region at these events," he said. The district gave the band boosters an 18-foot box truck to carry instruments and other performance equipment.

The vehicle will make traveling easier. "The school district gave us a wonderful gift," Mark James, another booster member, said. The boosters will decal the truck with the band logo and are looking for sponsors to help maintain the vehicle. "We are selling sponsorships for the truck," Graf said. "All sponsors will be listed on the side of the truck in two-inch lettering." Sponsorship will cost $100 per year, Graf added.

Stoner said he is hoping the uniforms will be in in time for the band to honor the community by marching down Main Street in the August Shenandoah Heritage Day Parade of Nations. He also wants to have the band in the Schuylkill County Firemen's Parade later that day. The community can keep up with band activities on its Myspace page, where all fund-raising activities and band events are listed. OK'd a police agreement that would pay the Tremont Borough Police Department $65 an hour for 20 hours of police coverage a month. However, Tremont council voted to table the issue at their March meeting, citing confusion with the contract.

Zerbe said Tuesday night he would contact the Tremont solicitor to schedule a meeting to discuss the issue. "Right now we're negotiating how the costs will be shared if there's a grievance filed," Zerbe said during the meeting. "I don't think it's a big issue, but it needs to be addressed." Zerbe said if the contract was OK'd by both parties, it would become effective June 1. The supervisors also announced the resignation of Vice Chairman Joseph Devine, due to health reasons. Devine submitted his resignation March 7.

Allar said the township received three inquiries about the vacant position but the board could not agree on a candidate Tuesday night.

Pavlick said the borough engineer estimated the demolition at "about $30,000." Council approached the Schuylkill County commissioners about demolition funds.

Umbenhauer said since the March 27 meeting produced a favorable community response, the borough will discuss at the April 10 meeting hiring a project engineer to draw up a plan for the land. Continued from Page 3 County President Timothy Peters announced at the March 13 meeting the creation of the Sports and Fitness Committee to create a recreation area using grants, community help and business help. He said there was enough room on the land to make three to eight soccer or football fields, four "You always have the ones that say, 'Don't you think we have Or 'Where's the money gong to come But it's not going to come from tax dollars," she said.

Don't let anybody ever tell you that because you grew up in a certain area or you're from somewhere that you can't accomplish what you want." He told the students that if they set their mind on a goal and follow through, they will be successful. "I really believe that you can be your personal best at whatever you want to be your personal best at," Tucker said.

"That's awesome. Triink about that. Each and every one of you can pick what you want to be your personal best at and be that." His interest in becoming a football player began when he was 5 and his parents took him to a Penn State game. "I'll never forget walking up to the stadium and seeing how big it was, seeing the green grass and the blue uniforms. I said 'That's what I want to do.

That's what I want to Tucker said. "It's about passion," he continued. "Your passion is what you're always thinking about, always talking about." Tucker asked the students what their passions were. Two students said baseball, another said basketball and yet another said art. When a young girl said football, Tucker called her to the front of the audience.

"This is why America is great," he said. "Football is her passion. I never found anything I liked as much as football. Nothing is more fun to me than knocking somebody on the ground." Even with his strong interest in football, Tucker said he made sure he studied and did his homework to get good grades, noting that he wanted to look back at what he did with "no regrets." "It was important to me to do the best job I could. I didn't want have any regrets.

That's one of the most important messages I want to share with you. Whatever your passion is, make sure you live your with no regrets," Tucker said. He stressed to the students that, "your grades matter." Tucker injured his neck in the 2007 pre-season with the Redskins and was placed on injured reserve. He subsequently retired after seven years in the NFL. He also had been a member of the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots.
