With the hot, dog days of summer
upon us, children and teenagers are
seen everywhere around town.
Some look industrious and others
appear to be taking things easy and
enjoying the fun and sun. The
Dallas Post polled a few neighbor-
hood youths to find out just how they
are spending their summer.
Maggie Drapiewski, Oak Hill, is a
senior at Bishop O’Reilly High
School and she is mixing industry
be seen regularly at the Mark II
Restaurant where she works as a
hostess. In her leisure time Maggie
spends as much time as she can at
Harveys Lake. There she does a lot
of swimming and sunning. She is
to Maryland for some sailing.
Maria Malak, Jackson Township,
Maria is taking it easy on her vaca-
tion. She is enjoying a variety of
summertime activities such as
visiting with friends and swimming.
She is planning a backpacking, trip
sometime before school resumes,
but has not decided when it will be.’
Amy Brown, Dallas, was named
“camper of the week’ during her
two week stay at Camp Kresge Day
Camp. Her summer is filled with all
kinds of activities, many of which
she organizes. Recently, the Dallas
Borough Elementary student and
some of her friends started an
impromptu camp in the neighbor-
hood. They gather the younger
children and teach them arts and
crafts, and games during the hot
afternoons. Amy has also been on a
family vacation to Rhode island and
hopes to join her mother, Karen, on
. a trip to Maine.
Chris Hampel, who will attend the
eighth grade at Wyoming
Seminary, is making sure he makes
the best of his vacation. Chris does
flytying and fishing. He goes when-
ever and wherever he can. While he
Colleen O’Donnell, Dallas
sophomore, is another one mixing
work and play. Colleen keeps busy
babysitting and riding her bike
around the neighborhood. For her
the summer is just right with lots of
time to play and little time for
getting bored.
is indulging his passion for the sport
at every opportunity, Chris is also
busy working in his father’s drug-
store. He is, he claims, saving
money to buy a computor. With a
new family pool in the backyard,
Chris stays cool enjoying another of
his favorite pastimes, swimming.
Kurt Goeringer, recent Dallas
graduate, is not having his idea of a
fun summer. Kurt participated in
the UNICO Football Contest and
suffered a separated shoulder in the
- process. As a result he is unable to
work, as hhe had planned to earn
money for college. Kurt will attend
Swarthmore College in the fall, and
had a part time job at Burger King,
plus several other moneymaking
propositions liked up for the
summer. Because of his injury, he
is also hindered from many of the
fun’ things which make summer
special. He is spending a lot of time
reading-and he is not completely
sure that he is enjoying it at all. He
will leave for Swarthmore. in late
August but he will not be on the foot-
ball field this season. Kurt must
return to the gridiron.

A flying emergency
room was introduced to
the people of Jackson
Township on Sunday,
: celebrating the arrival of.
the community’s new
ambulance. Life Flight,
Geisinger Medical
Center’s emergency heli-
copter was on hand for the
public’s inspection, along
with the new ambulance.
Personnel from Life
Flight gave a démon-
stration and talk on the
uses and capabilities’ of
‘the helicopter. The Life
Flight program provides
the:scene medical care
and is available / for
hospital transportation.
Of over 40 such transports
in the United States, Life
Flight is one of few which
carries a physician on all
calls. It is housed adja-
cent to the center’s
Intensive Care and
Critical Care units.
The plane, the Alouette
green Aviation. It can
travel 100 to 110 miles per
hour, cutting response
time by at least one half.
The program is a 24 hour
pilots. Besides the pilot,
nurse and physician, the
plane can carry 2,000 lbs.
of useful weight. This
includes a bunk bed set up
for two passengers, and
room equipment. Because
of a small working space,
Life Flight personnel are
to prepare
patients as thoroughly as
possible prior to tran-
sportation.
cardiac patients and neo-
natal situations are some
examples of Life Flight
uses. However, Dr. Scott
Bogatin,
are as many reasons for
summoning Life Flight as
In its first year of ser-
vice, Life Flight received
610 calls, responded to 512
and transported 498
patients. Richard Puffer-
man, spokesperson for the
program, explained the
helicopter
almost two patients per
day.
Life Flight flew over
29,000 miles in its first six
months, covering an area
east to Philadelphia, west
to Dubois, north to Sayre
and south to Baltimore.

during its brief existence.
The hilicopter takes five
square landing space.
With a round trip range of
300 miles, the plane is
available 90 percent of the
time, consiaering wea.her
restrictions.
The program is
designed to compliment
local ambulance services
when critically ill patients
require intensive medical
care en route. Long dis-
tance ground tran-
sportation can sometimes
mean delays in treat-
tions, particularly during
the winter months, may
prohibit efficient ground
retrieval. In terms of
time, professional per-
sonnel and equipment,
Life Flight provides a safe
alternative to long dis-
tance ground transporta-
tion, as well as the addi-
tional expertise needed in
cases of severe trauma.
