Its eas to forget to breathewhen watching Wake Schepmanskate. He defies grait as heflies oer ramps and twists inthe air. His faorite stunt is atrick called a flat spin 540. Its anunbelieable sidewas backflipwith one and a half rotations.

Wake, 16, of Hunlock Creek,is a phenomenon in the world

of inline skating, also known asRollerblading.

Hes a likeable and humblehigh school student who enjosBo Scouting and church actii-ties. He has won man competi-tions and is the onl teen rankedin the top 10 inline skaters in theworld.

The biggest accomplish-ment I hae had was this lastFebruar, he said. I competedin the biggest Rollerblading com-

petition in North America calledthe Bittercold Showdown. I wonthird place. First place went toa man from Australia and sec-ond place went to a man fromFrance.

The Bittercold Showdown washeld in Roal Oak, Michigan anddrew the best inline skaters fromaround the globe.

Wakes mom, April, said thefamil has been in the BackMountain area for four ears.

She said the winters here are achallenge for her sons skatingbecause one of his parents mustdrie him to the closest indoorskating park if the weather isbad.

In good weather, Wake practic-es on the backard ramp his dad,Wes, created for him.

April used to be afraid whenWakefirststarted skatingat age5.

Sarah Stacey found herself in an unfa-miliar situation for the Robert L. DolbearSenior Girls All-Star Softball Game.

Stacey started the game on the bench,something she never did during her four-year career at Lake-Lehman.

She was a starter since her freshmanyear and played every single inning of everygame, Lake-Lehman coach Wayne Oplingersaid. Were naming an award after her, theSarah Stacey Ironwoman Award. Oplingersaid the award will recognize a player annu-ally for leadership and dedication to theteam.

Stacey received the award, which includesa small scholarship, from the Lake-LehmanSoftball Booster Club.

Stacey did her best to provide leadership

to a struggling West team in the all-stargame for recent graduates from WyomingValley Conference teams.

The East opene d a 14-0 lead in the first 4 innings of the nine-inning game, playedJune 21 at the W.W. Kubis Memorial Fieldin Dallas.

Stacey singled in the sixth inning andcame around to score one of two West runsin the inning on the way to cutting the finalEast margin of victory to 15-4.

I wasnt used to it, Stacey said of com-ing off the bench.

The West team kept battl ing in whatcould have turned into a discouraginggame.

The whole thing was fun, Stacey said.By the time the game ended, six players

on the West team had produced at leastone hit. Five of those players came from

Lake-Lehman, Dallas or Tunkhannock.Lake-Lehman had two of the games

double in extra innings for the teams onlywin of the season, started in right field.

Cadwalder went 1-for-2.Vicky worked so hard to make herself a

great player, Oplinger said of Cadwalder,pointing out that she led the division indoubles as a junior and hit multiple homeruns this year. She worked hard to makeherself a better all-around hitter.

Brennan went 0-for-1.Taylor Baker represen ted Dallas and was

the starting pitcher for the West.Baker went 1-for-2 and scored a run.

It was really unexpected, Gilpin toldThe Times Leade r after learni ng aboutthe award in post-game public addressannouncements.

Gilpin singled to drive in the teams firstrun and finished 1-for-2. She also pitchedthe last four innings, controlling the Eastoffense, which had been overpowering earlywith 16 hits in five innings.

In the last four innings, Gilpin gave upjust one run on two hits while strikin g out

four and walking three.Emily Forba, Alicia Spudis and Jess

You become desensi-tized after a while, shesaid. I do still worrywhen he does tricks onthe Mini-Mega ramp. It isa huge ramp and he getsgoing very fast.

Inline skating can bedangerous. Wake sayshis injuries so far havebeen minor, citing brokenwrists as the most serioushes experienced.

There are obviou slychallenges in having achild so talented but Aprilsaid one of the biggestchallenges doesnt applyin Wakes case. Any tal-ented person can becomeproud, she said. Beinghumble comes naturallyto Wake so that hasnt

been too hard to reignin on. He is extremelythankful for his talents.

Wake will perfo rmthis summer at DorneyPark in Allentown. Hehas just signed on withAll Wheel Sports, a per-forming g ro up whichincludes inline skaters,skateboarders and bicy-cle stunt artists. A teamfrom All Wheel Sportsmade the semi-finals inthe seventh season ofAmericas Got Talentand Wake will performwit h t he g ro up at t hepark when he is not trav-eling to competitions.

Does he prefer compe-titions or performances?

I l ike b ot h, Wakesaid. At competitions, Iget to try new tricks andpush my limits. I enjoythe competitive feelingand I perform well under

p re ss ur e. At s how s,everything is planned andpracticed before. It getsa little repetitive after awhile but I love to skatefor the crowd.

April sees character-istics in Wake that haveallowed him to excel.

He was blessed withwonderful personalitytraits that help him be thisall-around great kid, shesaid. People like Wake

and he loves to meet andtalk to people. He is akind, happy, friendly, ath-letic person and has greatleadership abilities. Hedoes have a competitivenature and all of our kidshave this type of internaldrive, determination, Iguess, that makes theirinterests not just inter-ests but intense, focuseddedication.

Wake would like moreyoung people to get inter-ested in inline skatingand has advice for thosewho would like to skate.

You should alwayswear a helmet and pro-tective knee and elbowpads because even theprofessional skaters fall,he said. If you can, goto a local skatepark andwatch skaters; that helpsyou. If not, you can lookup videos on YouTube.
