If anyone were to ever talk to
Bruce Davies, of Dallas, about his
favorite avocation, they might think
it was strictly for the birds. That
wouldn’t mean however, that they
think his hobby is ridiculous, for
Davies’ hobby really is for the
birds. He’s a bird watcher.
Davies has been interested in bird
watching for the past 15 years, but
didn’t get too serious about it until
after he retired six years ago.
Along with his wife, Irene, Davies
has traveled extensively to ‘‘support
his habit.” They have gone to the
swamp land of Florida, Colorado
and even to the Rio Grande River in
Texas.
Davies admits that some people
can’t understand why he and his
wife would travel so far with no
other thought in mind than bird
watching. He explained just why
they do it.
“You have to go to other parts of
the country, or the world for that
matter, to see certain birds. When
we wanted to see storks or white
pelicans, we had to go to Florida.
You just can’t seem them around
here.”
Davies is also a Board Member of
the Wyoming Valley Audubon
Society. The society meets once a
month every third Monday of the
month. During the meetings, they
either have a guest speaker or one
of the members shows slides.
Mr. Davies has culminated a nice
collection of his own slides.
“I like to photograph the birds I
see,” said Davies. “I've kept a
record of all the species of birds
I've seen in the last three years,
and they’ve added up to 150 or 200
species: I have most of these on my
slides.”
Even though Davies takes along a
camera on his journeys, he pointed
out that not all bird watchers have
to buy expensive equipment. There
are certain items, however, that
every bird watcher should have.
“All bird watchers should at least
have a notebook in which to record
sightings, binoculars or a telescope,
and some type of field guide, which
identifies the different types of
birds.
“Bird watching has more than
one benefit to it,”’ exclaimed
Davies. ‘Anyone who just enjoys
getting out in the woods or walking
nature trails would go for bird
watching.”
The Lake-Lehman School District
has recently completed its Asbestos
Survey. Both Bulk Sampling and Air
Monitoring tests were conducted
throughout each structure in the
School District. Bulk Analysis was
done by the use of x-ray diffraction
and the Air Samples were analyzed
through ‘‘Electron Microscopy.”
These testing procedures exceed the
testing procedures recommended by
the Environmental Protection
first vice president; Tom Bly, secre-
tary; Tom Bagley, treasurer; Dave
Simon, Lion Tamer; Walt Lubinski,
Tail Twister; Irv Berger, second
vice president; Bob Fino, third vice
president; Paul McCue, fourth vice
president. Directors are Drew
Fitch, Bill Roman, Frank Rollman,
Joe Canfield and Bill Tabor.

Lehman Senior High, Lake-Lehman
Junior High and the Ross Township
Elementary School. Some 19 eight-
hour air tests were taken within
these three structures and 17 of the
19 showed absolutely NO TRACES
of asbestos fiber. The two air sam-
ples that detected fibers were taken
in the Boiler Room of the Junior
High School and the Boiler Room at
the Ross Township Elementary.
Results of these two tests were far
below the standards of E.P.A., in
fact, they were about 1200 times
below the critical EPA standards.

Agency recommends that the fol-

This is being done to minimize the
risk of asbestos fiber release in the
Lake-Lehman School District.
