Four generations of the Seth J.
father Seth J. Sentz; grandfather Robert E. Sentz, Sr.;
and son Jeremy Sentz.
...water contamination
[continued from front page]
have been blamed on water
containing more than 10
milligrams per litre of
nitrate nitrogen. (Mount
Joy averages 11 milligrams
per litre). On the other
hand, some infants can
apparently drink larger
quantities of nitrates with
no ill effects.
The nitrates come from
fertilizer which farmers
spread on their fields, and
the problem is common in
Lancaster County and other
agricultural areas.
Boiling water does not
solve the problem; it makes
it worse.
Adults and children over
six months of age are
apparently unaffected by
low levels of nitrate conta-
mination.
Nitrate in drinking water
was first associated in 1945
with a temporary blood
disorder in infants called
methemoglobinemia. Since
then, approximately 2000
cases of this disease have
been reported from North
Sentz family are pictured above: great-grand-
father Robert E. Sentz, Jr.;
America and Europe, and
about 7 to 8 percent of the
infants died.
Many infants
have drunk water when the
nitrate nitrogen was great-
er than 10 mg/l without
developing the disease.
Many public water supplies
in the United States have
levels of nitrate that rou-
tinely exceed the standard,
but only one case associ-
ated with a public water
supply has been reported.
Bill Poco y
spitter, winds " for a 17-foot spit. Bill came from
Coudersport, PA, to defend his title against local
spitters.
Although two local men tied him at his previous
rd of 18 feet, Bill kept his title.
Here is Bill doing one of his earlier spits—at or 8
feet. The judge [squatting with the umbrella], must
decide if the spit sizzles when it hits the hot stove. No
Sizzle, no 0 point
The Cogars relax with their bored and stroked chain
saws, which can rip through a 9 inch square beam in
about 3 seconds. Arden Cogar [pronounced like
‘“‘cougar’’], in the center, has been 17 times the world
champion wood cutter with an axe. His $150 axe can cut
through the same beam in 17 seconds.
The Cogars, who all come from the same little town
in West Virginia, scooped up most of the axe and saw
wood cutting awards.
