‘Drowning’ victims resuscitated
by Bill Martin
On Tuesday, August S, a
simulated water emergency
was staged at Sico Park.
The drill involved the Mount
Joy Life-saving Class,
Emergency Care and
Advanced First-Aid Class,
and three ‘‘victims’’
*¥*Maureen Jones, Newt
Kendig, and Dean Buchen-
auer. Maureen and Newt
were victims of a boating
accident and Dean was
trapped on a chain link
swing above the water.
After the accident occured,
Tex Landis appointed mem-
bers of the livesaving class
to start livesaving
measures, call the ambu-
lance and Fire Department,
direct traffic, and control the
crowd.
The Fire Department was
summoned at 7:24 p.m.
Upon arrival at the entrance
to Sico Park, a car had to be
removed which was blocking
the driveway.
The first-aid class re-
sponded in the ambulance
and took charge of the
““victims’’ upon arrival.

Maureen was found to
have been revived after the
drowning. She had a
puncture wound of the chest
and a fish hook embedded in
her lower leg.
Newt had also been
revived from drowning, had
a puncture wound of the
chest and a laceration of the
right foot.
As Maureen and Newt
were being treated for their
injuries, the Fire Depart-
ment had a problem of their
own. Dean was hanging on
the chain swinging above
the water. His wrist was
impaled by a link of chain
and he was suffering from a
broken arm.
Firemen placed a ladder
against the tree, threw a
rope around the chain swing
and brought Dean and the
swing close to the tree.
Another ladder was placed
in the water against the
bank.
Firemen on the ladder in
the water caught and placed
Dean on their shoulders.
The chain swing was then
cut and Dean was removed
