An agreement between the Penn-
sylvania Fish Commission’s water-
ways conservation officers and the
Commonwealth was ratified by the
officers on November 27, 1985. The
agreement became effective on
November 30, 1985 and will extend
through June 30, 1988.
There are two major provisions in
the new agreement. Officers are
now authorized 150 hours annually
of overtime at straight-time pay
that can be scheduled, within cer-
tain constraints, without approval of
their regional supervisors. Overtime
work beyond 150 hours per year will
be compensated, at the straight-
time rate, in cash or compensatory
time at the employes’ option.
Previously, waterways conserva-
tion officers were required to work
on Memorial Day, July 4, and Labor
Day. Under the new agreement,
Labor Day would be eliminated as a
required work day. However, super-
visors would require an officer to
work on Labor Day if they deemed
it necessary.
In addition, minor modifications
were made in provisions for vaca-
tion recall, work on scheduled days
off, and a slight increase in office
rent and subsistence was awarded.

Seton Catholic boys last Tuesday night at the Lehman gym.
Off guard
Keith Kendall of the Lake-Lehman basketball team seems to
have caught his Seton Catholic defender off guard as he
prepares to scores two points for the Black Knights in last
