NOTES: Crossed
paths on Saturday morning with
roundball ref Dave Pollack of Ber-
wick. He has been quite visible on
the tube in recent years working
many of the top collegiate games
around the East and in the ACC. I
always used to kid Dave that some-
day he would be working in the Big
Apple’s Madison Square Garden
and he has been there on a regular
basis for Big East games. He
remains one of the best refs ever to
toot a whistle around these parts.
- Ed Ladamus is Lake-Lehman’s
new wrestling coach. He has been
around the sport in one capacity or
another for many years. He knows
the ins and outs of the sport and is
very good handling young folks. Ed
was involved in the Junior Olympic
program and the AAU in this area
for years. I have a hunch he will
keep the program on a winning
level.
- Speaking of the Lake-Lehman
mat program, I understand Ted
Jackson, Coughlin assistant, had a
fine interview and impressed a lot
of the selection committee. Several
Coughlin coaches believe Jackson
will make a superb head coach
when he receives the call.
- Red Jones is now Lake-Lehman
School Board’s athletic coordinator.
Red’s vast experience in athletics
is an asset to the school district. I
understand over the weekend the
Jones’ received several calls con-
cerning Red. It seems a rumor was
Not the case!
- Lake-Lehman School Board is
reevaluating its original proposal
concerning cutbacks in the athletic
program. That’s more of a realistic
approach. However, there will be
some coaching positions lost, but it
won't be as serious as originally
reported. I get a mite perturbed
when I read where the first thing
any school district wants to do
when faced with budget problems
is chop monies from the athletic
programs. To me, the athletes are
the ones getting cheated!
- Several roundball fans have
informed me former Lake-Lehman
standout Billy Jones is doing an
outstanding job coaching the junior
high Knights. He always impressed
me as having the proper dedication
to be quite successful.
- Mark Kirk, Lake-Lehman grid
boss, is putting his charges through
conditioning workouts a couple of
times a week. Kirk is recovering
nicely from his recent illness.
- Golfing pal Ted Ringsdorf, a
former standout gridder for Luz-
erne, recently visited the West
Coast for a little R & R and hit the
little white ball around LaCosta
Country Club, which is regarded as
one of the top-notch layouts in the
country.
- Our Touring Golfers Group has
been on tour the last couple of
weeks and, much to our surprise,
Briar Heights is in tip-top condi-
tion. In fact, the greens were excel-
lent putting.
- The annual Anheuser Busch
Golf Classic is on tap this week and
the pros execute the shots which
puts them in a world all their own.
The Kingsmill Course near Wil-
liamsburg, VA, is so well mani-
cured. Calvin Peete is the defend-
ing champ and, from all
indications, a very classy field will
- Speaking of golf tournaments,
the Potentates Tournament at Irem
Temple Country Club is filled. This
is slated for next Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. I'm quite concerned
over the condition of the golf
course, especially the greens which
simply lack consistency when
putting.
Had a nice chat with Harold
Dyriond, pro at Mount Airy Lodge,
recently. Anytime you tee it up on
that course it’s a challenge. You
have got to be able to hit every
club in your bag if you intend to
score. Playing partner Ed Rome
posted a four-over par 76. It was
his initial visit to the stylish layout.
- GAR grid Coach Charlie Fick
will be coaching in Saturday’s
Annual Big 33 Game for the first
time.
“We've has several meetings and
met with some of our players in
recent weeks,” said Fick. “I feel
it’s going to be a good experience
for me and the local players that
will participate.”
Locals who will participate in the
All-Star Classic are Jim Ostrowski,
Bishop Hoban; Matt LaVigna,
Crestwood; Chris Pate, Coughlin;
Tony Tolbert, GAR.
Based on the personnel for both
teams, 1 have got to lean to the
West only because of the people
around the valley he had taken ill.

According to the Pennsylvania Fish
Commission, the number of water-
related accidents in Pennsylvania is
low. when compared to other tragedies
such as accidents in the home, car and
others. But, accidents on Pennsyl-
vania’s waterways do, and will continue
to happen.
When tragedy or near tragedy does
strike, rescuers are often untrained for
the situation at hand. And in some
cases, unprepared would-be rescuers
become victims themselves.
The proper preparation of rescue
personnel is being addressed by the
Pennsylvania Fish Commission. In
cooperation with the State Fire Acad-
emy, the Commission is initiating a
statewide rescue program that will be
‘offered through the Pennsylvania
Emergency Management Agency’s Fire
Academy.
The new program will help train
often called upon in rescue situations.
“The initial step is to develop special-
ized instructors to deliver the much-
needed training,” said Robert Grening,
the Fire Academy’s Director.
Training will address personnel
safety (including self-rescue), water
safety and rescue equipment use, rec-
ognition of moving water hazards, acci-
dent scene pre-planning, and shore and
boat based resuce tactics and tech-
niques. ¥
“We are always striving for safer use
of our waterways,” said Gene Sporl,
Assistant Executive Director for the
Commission’s Bureau of Waterways.
“And we feel that a statewide rescue
program will certainly help ‘us to
achieve that end.”
