by Jaonett* O’May Guardians Of The Seaside Beach Days are Fun Days. Stone Martyr *urf won will be saturated with rollicking youngsters and sedate seniors. The energetic young man who shapes up our summer security is Sam Wlerman, captain of the Stone Harbor Beach Patrol. His right-hand men are Kurt Spychalla. Rick Mellor. Chris Veenb. Bob Beyle, Steve Ptcken and Bob Stewart (whose father was a Ituard in the '40s) THERE ARE 42 additional lifeguard at 13 stations, extending from 80th to 119th Sts. That’s four dozen more than we had in 1912, when Cleon Krouse was the lone lifeguard and 94th St. was the only beach. Sam Wierman is very proud of the caliber of his fellow guards. He relates that many have gone into professional fields, among them Fred Harper and the Armao brothers. Sam is a graduate of Kutztown State College and is now a fulltime resident of Stone Harbor. He succeeded Art Schiel as captain in 1978 and put in time as a guard here for 10 summers previous tp this assignment. HE IS ALSO impressed with our ‘•cover" rescue system which was developed many years ago through the coordination of Dr. Terry Malloy and Joe Boylan (who was a cpatip with S.H.B.P. for 13 years). To. date, our lifeguards have made almost 13,000 rescues, and there has not been a fatality on a protected beach for 38 years. Last summer there were 400 saves from the surf — 77 In one day! AN IDYLLIC afternoon, a busy beach and a deceitful surf. Three young ladies at the 108th St. beach found themselves powerless to fight the strong tides and their lives were saved by our superb lifeguards. I’m Certain many of you saw this feat repeated many times that day last August, 1980,1 remember it wel^ Sam Wierman makes a lot of sense when he says: "Enjoy your sumrher on the beach, but always respect the

ocean!"

ACCORDING TO the tentative agenda for today’s 1:30 p.m. meeting, Mr. Zahora will report on the regional review and then the council will reestablish its objectives following a reorganization of its membership and nomination of officers for the year. The meeting notice also states that a meeting with the mayors of the four southern county municipalities has tentatively been scheduled for next week in ah effort to reestablish council support and financing. MUNICIPAL officials from the township ahd three Cape Mays previously endorsed the clinic concept as a way of meeting a documented shortage of primary medical care in their

areas.

The clinic plan has met with opposition from area physicians, and the regional H8 A has criticized the proposal for, among other reasons, its lack of input from primary care professionals.
