10 Dallas Post Dallas, PA ~ Thursday, June 20, 2002 Misericordia field surface makes most of recycling By AMAN BATHEJA Special to The Dallas Post DALLAS TWP. — College Mis- ericordia is turning refuse into a resource by building a new ath- letic field partially constructed from old tires. The new Robert S. Anderson Athletic Complex will have an outdoor field made of a synthet- ic turf developed by a German company, Polytan. The upper layer of the turf is a mix of gran- ulated rubber and sand. The rubber comes from thousands of scrap tires. The mixture will allow the field to tolerate heavy use, yet provide the look, texture and safety of a grass surface. “The sand gives the field bal- last and the rubber contributes to the field playing like real grass,” said Michael Mould, ath- letic director at the college. Construction on the $1.3 mil- lion field began in late April and is scheduled to be completed in September. It will be used for field hockey, soccer and lacrosse. A six-lane synthetic track will encircle the field. The turf will be stronger and last longer than a traditional synthetic turf thanks in large part to the added bounce of the rubber granules. “The tires are turned into crumb rubber, which can ab- sorb the pressure from the ath- letes instead of the grass,” said college spokesman Jim Roberts. “It will make the field much more resistant to damage over the years.” Not only will the crumb rub- ber act as a shock absorber, but a vertical drainage system in- stalled below the upper layer will allow the field to drain quickly after bad weather. The field will be “very durable so we can put multiple sports out there without tremendous maintenance, and it drains ex- tremely well, which will result in our outdoor fields being avail- able for play throughout the course of the year. It's a terrific advantage,” said Mould. Along with the benefits to the players, the Polytan field is an inventive approach to the seri- ous environmental problem of discarded tires. Pennsylvania ' generates 12 million scrap tires a year, giving it one of the largest number of tire dumps in the country, ac- cording to the Environmental Protection Agency Web site. “There are expanding uses for full and shredded tires, includ=-_ ing using shredded tires in the construction of roads and ath- letic fields,” said Mark Carmon, community relations coordina- tor for the Pennsylvania Depart- ment of Environmental Protec- tion. Carmon also cited the LaFarge Cement Co. in White Falls, which has been using full tires as a fuel supplement for eight years. LaFarge is recycling about 2 million tires annually. Misericordia will recycle thou- sands of tires in the creation of its new field. The use of this re- source in developing better syn- thetic turf surfaces has been a growing trend for several years. It's now being used by many professional teams, including the New York Giants and several European soccer teams. “The original synthetic fields tended to be of a tight, nylon weave. The ball would tend to ... play very quickly and bounce too high,” said Mould regarding Astroturf. “But these (Polytan) surfaces ... (allow a ball to) play more as it would on real grass. And all it takes is a few shredded tires.” This article originally appeared in the Times Leader.

There was a time when (twin brother) Rick and I both wanted to walk away from wrestling. We didn’t like it, but we received great advice and great encouragement from Coach Lipski and (former Black Knight wrestling coach) Shorty Hitchcock to stay with it,” Bonomo said. “I'm afraid to think of where we would be right now without wrestling. “To come back and work with people that really care about the kids is really why I come back to do it.” don Rice each had two hits for the winners, including a Taminini double.
