Baseball program, then continued in
senior high school. She pitched and
played first base, but is not sure
what position she will play on the

ketball for six years.
Cindy Slocum, daughter of Mr.

Lehman this fall. She usually plays
centerfield, but is not certain what
position she will play until practice
begins and Coach Paul Yanisko
decides where they will play.

years in the Back Mountain Base-
ball program and for three seasons
in high school. In the Back Moun-
tain League, she has played various
positions. This year Cindy is a
member of the All-Star team.
Like Sandy, Cindy was one of 15
members selected to the team.

An outstanding athlete, Joyce
played third base on the high school
varsity team this past season. She
has played softball in the Back
Mountain Baseball League on both
the younger and older girls teams
and has been consistently chosen for
the All-Star teams.
This year she is a member of the
All-Star team coached by Charlotte
Slocum. Joyce also played varsity
hockey during her freshman year,
and played junior high hockey in
seventh and eighth grade. She also
played basketball in junior hign.
A natural athlete, Joyce has the
potential to continue an outstanding
athletic career in college if she so
desires.
Like the other girls, she does not
know what position she will play in
the Keystone Games until practice
begins.
Head softball coach Paul Yanisko
of the Region 2 team complimented
Coach Flossie Finn on the behavior
and play of the local girls.
“They are a well disciplined
group of girls who like to play and
they show it,”” Yanisko said.
How well they like to play and
how well they do play will be proven
in the Keystone Games, Aug. 9-11,
at Penn State’s Main Campus.

PLAY is
for kids
The Pennsylvania Fish Commis-
sion has introduced a new aspect to
its popular PLAY (Pennsylvania
League of Angling Youth) program.
PLAY, the Commission’s educa-
tional program for children ages six
to 12, has taught tens of thousands
of youngsters about fishing, boating
safety and the aquatic environment
since its inception in 1980.
The Commission is now offering
sportsmen’s clubs, civic groups, pri-
vate industries, and other conserva-
tion-minded organizations and indi-
viduals the opportunity to help
“turn on” children to fishing. Fish-
ing is probably the only true life-
time family sport. Organizations
and individuals can play an impor-
tant part in helping a boy or girl get
started in fishing and the outdoor
world by becoming supporting
members of PLAY. All the group or
individual must do is purchase 10 or
more memberships and designate
them to the children of their choice.
The cost of a PLAY membership
is $2 and each child receives a
package of information materials
designed to assist the young angler
to become more familiar with fish-
ing and boating; a quarterly news-
letter written especially for young-
sters; a colorful cloth patch. to
collect or sew on a jacket or fishing
vest; an official membership card,
a fishing lure and spool of monofila-
ment line, and access to the
‘““Tackle Box’’ a correspondence
center that provides personal
answers to fishing, boating or envi-
ronmental questions.
The sponsoring group or individ-
ual also receives an attractive cer-
tificate suitable for framing and a
package of PLAY materials. But
more important then the certificate,
they have the knowledge that they
have played an important part in
preserving Pennsylvania’s fishing
future by introducing youngsters to
Pennsylvania’s great outdoor heri-
tage.
According to Stephen B. Ulsh, the
Commission’s PLAY Coordinator,
‘“Pennsylvania’s fishing future lies
in its children.” He noted that many
times there are no adults around to
show youngsters the fun of fishing,
as many parents have no knowledge
of the sport. With a subscription to
PLAY, these youngsters can
embark on a lifetime of fishing fun.
Interested organizations or indi-
viduals may obtain ‘a PLAY Spon-
sorship brochure by writing to:
PLAY Sponsor Program, Pennsy-
lania Fish Commission, P.O. Box
1673, Harrisburg, PA 17105-1673.
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY
Tragically, more than 85 percent
of the boating fatalities that occur
could have been prevented if boat-
ers had “played it safe” and had
been wearing a personal flotation
device (PFD).
According to the Pennsylvania
Fish Commission’s Bureau of
Waterways, what is even more
astounding is the fact that more
than 75 percent of the victims of
drownings had PFDs on board at
the time of the accident, but were
not wearing them.
Pennsylvania law requires that all
boats (not just motorboats) have a
Coast Guard approved PFD on
board for each occupant. Although
wearing a PFD is not mandatory
except on Fish Commission and
state park lakes where children
under nine years 6f age and all non-
swimmers must wear a PFD of
appropriate size, the Commissin
strongly encourages everyone to
wear a PFD.

Five girls from Dallas and Lake-Lehman High Schools were
selected to the Open Division -an the High School Division
Keystone Games hockey teams which will be played at Main
Campus, Penn State, Aug. 9 through Aug. 11. From left,
seated, Cristi Strauser and Jill Radzinski, Dallas High School
graduates, will play on the Open Division team. Second row,
Susie Slocum, Lake-Lehman; Maureen Wisnieski and Linda
King, Dallas, will play on the High School Division team. The
Region 2 teams will compete against teams from Region 1,
3 and 4.
When learning how to ride a
motorcycle in traffic, stay on little
traveled or minimum traffic roads
until you can control your motorcy-
cle under any condition. And,
riding, NEVER travel roads where
your cycle doesn’t have the power
to keep up with the flow of traffic.
Always watch several cars ahead
when you're in traffic so you’ll be
forewarned of any sudden stops or
front of you may have to make
because of cars in front of it.
Following approximately one car
length for each 10 mph of speed is
considered a good rule of thumb.
Another good rule is the ‘three
second’ following distance. For
this, count one thousand one, one
thousand two, one thousand three. If
it takes that long to reach the point
where the car in front of you was
when you started to count then
you're at a safe distance.
When traveling in heavily cong-
ested traffic, resist the urge to take
advantage of your smaller size. In
other words, don’t weave in and out
of the traffic or ride between the
two lanes of traffic. In many states
this is not only illegal but it is
almost always a would-be hazard!
Ride in the left wheel tract of the
car ahead of you and in a position
where you can see both the inside
and outside rear view mirrors of
that car. That will mean that the
driver in that car should be able to
see you! Riding in the right side of
the lane is putting yourself into the
motorist’s “blind spot.”
Fifty one percent of all motorcy-
cle accidents are caused by motor-
ists who say that they didn’t see the
motorcycle; therefore; a roadwise
cyclist always rides defensively.
When riding in pairs the two
cycles should ride with one cycle
slightly behind the other. This
allows maneuver room for both
riders. Groups of cycle riders
should ride in staggered pairs and
leave enough room between each
cycle pair for overtaking cars.
You’ll be glad you did!
