EXETER - The nine-member Wyoming Area School Board on Tuesday voted to
appoint board members to their new positions at the board's annual
reorganization. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The November election brings newcomers Thomas Vaxmonsky and Donald Lloyd to
complete a new five-member majority. Many of the appointments of board
officers were made by five-to-four-votes. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The following appointments were made: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Thomas Kearns, a retired architect from West Pittston, will replace John
LaNunziata as School Board president. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Robert Orlando will replace Eugene Thomas as vice president. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Raymond Hassay will replace Joseph Carmody as the district's solicitor. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Sam Agolino will replace Ursula Burke as treasurer. Burke lost her position
on the board in the November election. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Retired teacher and coach Thomas Vaxmonsky will replace Anthony Sobeski as
board secretary and will serve on the West Side Area Vocational-Technical
board. The other two vo-tech board members from Wyoming Area, Toni Valenti and
Eugene Thomas, will complete their terms. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 All appointees were members of the new board majority. John LaNunziata, a
member of the board's minority, said he objected to the changeover of the
secretary position from Sobeski to Vaxmonsky because Sobeski's four-year term
had not expired. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 ``I object to this proceeding, based on state code,'' LaNunziata said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Newly appointed solicitor Hassay said the appointments were legal because
the state Supreme Court has ruled a board position can be vacated in the
middle of a term. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
