When the Keystone Games open
at Pennsylvania State University’s
Main Campus, Aug. 9 through Aug.
11, there will be fine representation
from the Back Mountain schools in
girls’ field hockey.
Following the final trials held
June 29, two Dallas High School
graduates were named to the
Regional 2 hockey team in the Open
Division and a Lake-Lehman Senior
High student and two Dallas Senior
High students were named to the
Regional 2 hockey team in the High
School Division.
Cristi Strauser, 1984 Dallas High
School, and Jill Radzinski, 1985
graduate of Dallas High School,
were named to the Open Division
team. Junior Susie Slocum, Lake-
Lehman High School; Junior Mau-
reen Wisnieski and Senior Linda
King, both of Dallas High School,
were named to the High School
Division team.
The girls in both the Open and
High School Divisions competed in
the trials with 60 girls from other
areas in the region and played
against some of the best. Each team
played two games on June 29 in the
trials.
In the Open Division, Cristi Strau-
ser, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
»
liam Strauser, Jr., of Dallas, has
just copleted her freshman year at
Penn State. She considers her being
chosen as a member of the team
quite an achievement since Cristi
did not play hockey during her first
year in college. She decided to
forego the sport to concentrate on
her studies. She does intend to try
out for the team during the coming
year.
While in high school, Cristi was a
member of the Dallas field hockey
team that took the regional title
under head hockey coach, Robyn
Jones. Cristi also played tennis
while in high school.
During her senior year in high
school, she played forward but in
her sophomore ' and junior year,
Cristi played all positions. She does
not know what position she will play
on the Keystone Games team but
says it will probably be a defensive
position.
A telecommunications major at
Penn State, Cristi is looking forward
to playing and is happy that she will
be playing with Jill Radzinski. “It
should be fun,” she said. Practices
will be held toward the end of July
and the first few days of August.

Paul Schramm, Potentate of Irem
Temple, A.A.0.N.M.S., has
announced that a golf tournament to
benefit the Shriners Hospitals for
Crippled Children will be sponsored
by the Irem Golf Association on
Friday, September 27.
The format will be a two-man
scramble (captain and crew). A 1
p.m. shotgun is scheduled, followed
by a social hour in Clown Alley, and
a banquet in the main dining room.
The entree fee has ben set at $100
per man, and covers everything
associated with the day: Greens fee,
golf cart, refreshments on the
course, social hour, banquet and
prizes.
Potentate Schramm has appointed
Thomas J. Reese, Past Potentate,
as General Chairman of the tourna-
ment. Reese is the Regional Direc-
tor of the Imperial Endowments,
Wills and Gifts Committee for the
Shriners Hospitals.
Already at work on the many
details of the coming tournament
are these Irem members: Cromwell
Thomas, Edward Boltz, Barry Fies,
Herbert Morris,
Tom Gauntlet, Leo Azain, Bill
Harvey, George Burk, Bob Lacey,
Bob Kopp, Lee Richards, John
Nixon, Gary Ide and Tim Shaw.
Since 1922, when the first Hospital
for Crippled Children was opened
more than 297,000 children have
been cured or substantially helped,
thanks to the Shrine of North Amer-
ica. For 1985, the Shriners Hospital
budget is $150 million; Potentate
Schramm feels that the Irem Golf
Association can make a meaningful
contribution to that budget with a
successful golf tournament.

LARGE QUANTITY
The theme of the 1985 National
Safe Boating Week emphasized the
dangers of combining alcohol con-
sumption with operating a boat.
That theme was brought home to
Pennsylvania boaters on June 23
when a 64-year-old man was killed
when a 17-foot runabout collided and
ran over the pontoon boat on which
he was riding.
The accident occurred at night.
Alcohol was involved. If the opera-
tor of the runabout is found guilty, it
will be the first conviction under
Pennsylvania’s new. boating law,
homicide by watercraft while oper-
ating under the influence, which
took effect July 30, 1984.
The new law carries a fine of
from $2,500 to $15,000 and imprison-
ment of up to seven years, or both,
with a minimum sentence of three
years in prison for this crime.
“Boat operators who drink often
cannot react promptly to hazards
and thereby endanger not only
themselves, but also others on the
water. The use of even small
amounts of alcohol can significantly
impair an operator’s judgement and
boat handling skills,”” said Joe
Greene, a Pennsylvania Fish Com-
mission boating education special-
ist.
Over 300,000 Pennsylvanians now
own recreational boats and that
numberis growing steadily. Last
year, according to Greene, 23 people
lost their lives in boating accidents.
‘Alcohol was a contributing
factor in 11 of those fatalities,” said
Greene. ‘‘After only one drink a
boater’s skills can become
impaired. By the time a 160 pound
man has consumed two beers on the
water, the alcohol level in his blood
is about .035 percent and there are
already significant impairments to
his boating ability.”
Besides decreasing operating abil-
ity, alcohol increases the risk of
hypothermia should boating acci-
dents occur. Studies also show that
an intoxicated person may often be
unable to swim, even if he is an
excellent swimmer when sober.
Safe enjoyment of Pennsylvania’s
diverse water resources requires
simple common sense. Boaters
must know and respect the water,
maintain safe and reliable equip-
ment and watch the weather.
Operating a boat safely requires
an observant eye, a steady hand
and a clear head. By mixing alcohol
with boating, operators are only
asking for trouble.

Rebels
drop pair
Coach Flossie Finn’s Rebels
dropped two games to the Jolly
Molly team to finish in third place
in the Lancaster Fast Pitch Tourna-
ment. K. Eckley did the pitching for
the Rebels throughout the tourna-
ment chalking up a record of three
wins and two losses for the Back
Mountain girls.
K. Menkavitch set the pace in
batting power knocking out two
homeruns, a triple, and two singles.
She also scored five runs, one the
winning run in the team’s 2-1 win
over the Lancaster C&D Sports
team in a game that went 14
innings.
The Rebels hammered the D-Lites
8-1 with Menkavitch going 2 for 2 at
the plate and scoring four runs.
Winning pitcher Eckley drove out a
triple and struck out seven to aid in
her own win.
The Rebels were edged 2-1 by the
Jolly Molly girls in the second game
with Menkavitch scoring the lone
run. Demey hit a homerun for the
winning nine. Eckley fanned two
and walked only one but the local
girls were unable to hit pitcher
Kinsey.
Eckley struck out seven and
walked three in leading the Rebels
to a 4-2 win over Quarryville. Cindy
Slocum and Menkavitch walloped
homeruns and Sally Galka and K.
Howard drove out triples for the
Rebels. Haddon hit the only extra
base hit for the losing nine.
Eckley fanned four and walked
one while holding Lancaster C&D to
one run in the Rebels 2-1 win over
C&D. Menkavitch’s homer was the
winning run for the local team.
The Rebels dropped a second
game 5-3 to the Jolly Molly girls to
be eliminated from the tournament
which was taken by Parsons. Jolly
Molly ended in second and the
Rebels in third. The Rebels came up
with only singles in the game with
Galka, Hoats and Eckley scoring
the three runs.
In league play, July 1, the Rebels
were edged 2-1 by Jeddo with C.
Slocum’s homer the only run. Patti
Sinex drove out a homerun and
scored both runs for Jeddo’s.
Winning pitcher, J. Evans fanned
seven and walked two for the win-
ning nine. Eckley walked three and
fanned one.
The Rebels took Lucias 14-9, July
2, aided by Menkavitch’s grand
slam and Sally Galka’s double.
Eckley struck out six and walked
none before J. Connolly took over
for three innings walking two and
striking out two. Losing hurler Med-
uecky walked 14 and struck out only
one.
The Rebels were idle the rest of
the week due to the holiday. League
play resumes this week.
