Ralph W. Abele, Executive Direc-
tor of the Pennsylvania Fish Com-
mission, has thrown out a challenge
to sportsmen’s clubs, youth groups
and other organizations in the Com-
monwealth.
He is suggesting that they ‘‘Adopt-
A-Stream” to not only enhance and
improve fishing and boating oppor-
tunities, but the quality and aes-
thetic values of Keystone State
waters.
Dave Wolf, of the Commission’s
Office of Information, will serve as
a full-time coordinator of the pro-
gram.
According to Wolf, any organized
group may be approved as a
“parent” of a particular stretch of
stream or body of water. Warmwa-
ter, coolwater, or coldwater lakes,
streams and ponds may be adopted
even if they are not capable of
supporting acquatic life at the time
of adoption. All adopted waters,
however, must be open to the public
and must be adopted for a mini-
mum of one year.
“Some of the activities involved in
Physicals set
Mr. Robert Cicon, Assistant Ath-
letic Director at the Dallas Junior
High School, announces that football
physicals for candidates for eighth
and ninth grades and cross country
physicals for candidates in seventh,
eighth, and ninth grades will be
given on Monday, Aug. 12, at 8;30
a.m. in the junior high nurse’s
office.
.. Physicals for junior high field
hockey candidates in grades seven,
eight and nine will be given on
Wednesday, Aug. 14, at 8;30 a.m. in
the junior high nurse’s office. Make-
up physicals will be given at this
time also for football and cross
country candidates who missed the
first physical.
the Adopt-A-Stream Program
include litter control, poaching con-
trol, water quality monitoring,
stocking and landowner relations,”
said Wolf.
Wolf said projects which entail
physical changes and improvements
to the water and or surrounding
environment will be performed with
the cooperation of the Fisheries
Environmental Services Section.
“The Adopt-A-Stream Program
can also entail purchasing, donating
and leasing land and waters,” Wolf
said. ‘‘A sponsoring organization
may donate property or arrange for
donation of property to the Commis-
sion for access to a water area; it
may acquire stream agreements of
five years or more and donate such
leases to the Commission, ordonate
or lease maintenance services for
public use areas.”
Any groups who are interested in
accepting this challenge and becom-
ing ‘parents’ of a particular water
area, should contact Dave Wolf,
Adopt-A-Stream Coordinator, Office
of Information, Pennsylvania Fish
Commission, P.O. Box 1673, Harris-
burg, PA 17105-1673.
A certificate recognizing the par-
ticipating group as a ‘‘parent’” will
be presented when the adoption is
approved. A certificate will also be
presented annually in addition ‘to
special merit awards for groups

ing project or program.

Competition for three years with
her best finish 15th. During her high
school golf career her record was
18-2-4.
Beth attended East Stroudsburg
State University and during her
freshman and sophomore year
made the boys golf team. She did
not play during her junior and
senior years since she had a double
major and had too many classes.
Beth started palying when she
was about five years of age. “I
would get up about 6 a.m. with my
grandmother and we would go out
and play the back four holes. At
night, we would practice putting
and chipping. My grandfather, who
was the pro at Irem Temple at the
time, taught me how to play. My
grandmother used to play at irem
when he was there,” said Beth.
Beth won the Ladies Club Cham-
pionship at Lehman when she was
only 17 years of age. In 1980, she
won the AGA Tournament and in
1981, she was runner up in the
Luzerne County Open. Other years
she worked during the summer.
In 1981, Beth played at Shadow-
brook with Catherine McMahon and
the two came in second. In June of
this year, she played in the Better
Ball Tournament at Lehman and
she and her partner, Sandra Trochi,
came in first with a 74 for the par 68
course.
Beth said her younger sister,
Alice, is also an excellent golfer and
also predicts that her 13-year-old
sister, Jennifer, will be one of the
top golfers as she gets more experi-
ence. Jennifer has already won at
Pocono Hershey and at Hollenback.
For the next three weeks when
Beth is not behind the desk at the
club, she will be playing or driving
balls every day to get in shape for
the Open.
Beth’s grandfather, Sam Spencer,
came to Irem as pro in the 1940’s. In
19521 he bought the farm at Lehman
and started that year to build the
course. By July 1, 1953, he had the
four holes completed and in Septem-
ber the nine hole course was fin-
ished.
As mentioned, Catherine Penxa
was the first woman to become a
member and took lessons from
Sam. Sam’s son, John, worked with
his father from the time the course
was open except in 1954 and 1955
when he served with the U.S. Army
in England.
He was assistant pro until 1974
when his father retired and John
took over management of the club.
The membership now runs about 200
active members, specializing in hus-
band and wife memberships. A lot
of senior members play at Lehman
because they enjoy walking the
course.
John runs about two tournaments
per month from May to October and
on Aug. 24 and 25, the club champi-
onship tournament will be held for
men and women.

Back Mountain American Teeners
dropped to the losers bracket
Sunday afternoon when they were
downed, 6-1, by the Rural team at
Hilldale Park in the finals of the
34th annual Teeners League All Star
Tournament.
The Back Mountain’s defense was
plagued by costly errors and their
opponents took advantage of the
locals mistakes to push runs across
in the second and sixth innings.
The Back Mountain Teeners
advanced to the finals by shutting
out Mountaintop 5-0 behind hurler
Scott Francis’ four-hitter in the
game played Thursday at the Dallas
Junior High field.
The Rural nine’s win Sunday
allows them to sit back and wait for
the winner of the Back Mountain
American-Plymouth game sched-
uled for this past Tuesay at the
Hilldale field. Winner of that game
will have to defeat Rural twice to
win the title.
The Back Mountain Americans
made more errors in Sunday’s
game than they had made in the
tournament to date and in the sixth
inning a combination of errors and
walks allowed the Rurals to score
four runs.
Both teams got off to a poor start
unable to score men on base. In the
bottom of the first inning, shortstop
Chad Holdren drove out a double
and with nobody out stole third for
Rural. Joe Morris went to first on a
walk but in his attempt to let
Holdren steal home, Morris was
thrown out in a rundown between
first and second and Holdren was
thrown out at home plate in the
Americans’ best defensive play of
the game.
In the bottom of the second
inning, Rob Bowman hit a single
and Holdren sent him to second on a
bunt single to the infield. Jim
Morris walked to load the bases.
Bowman scored on a fielder’s
choice out on Bryan Wenners groun-
der to the infield and Holdren
scored on a Back Mountain error.
Neither team was able to score
until the bottom of the sixth when
walks and errors loaded the bases
for Rural. Joe Morris hit a long
double to drive in three runs and
scored a fourth run when his
brother tapped out an infield single.
