Program termed ’excellent' says new athletic director

By SUSAN BENNETT Terming the Wawasee High School athletic program “excellent,” new athletic director Carl Meditch has settled in to spend the next year continuing to evaluate the program. After assuming the duties officially August 8, Meditch moved his family to Syracuse and entered his office to find the desk top partially covered with papers and messages. He assumes the position previously held by Eldon Ummel and tins year. Mrs. Marcia Carpenter, previously known as girl’s athletic director, will be the assistant athletic director. The facility and the opportunities here for students have got to be one of the best in the state. Meditch commented. He says the program is ahead of others in the number of girls and boys athletic teams and believes the program will be used as a model by those in other systems With the possible addition of the new physical education facility, the program would become a firstclass operation, the new director

stated. Meditch said his aim during the first year is to coordinate the program and improve on it The director relinquished Ins duties as head basketball and cross country coach at Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pa., to assume his new duties. “I came in a very difficult situation, really,” he recalls. The college has not had a winning season in six years. During his first year, the basketball team had a winning season and tied for second in the conference. “So we got off to a pretty good start.” he evaluated. Cutbacks in finances and job security, plus very little money for financial aid for the athletes prompted his move to Wawasee. “I’m impressed with what they’ve done with this.” Meditch said. He is a firm believer in discipline and feels his philosophy goes with the one currently in use in the Wawasee system. He hasn’t met all the coaches yet, but says he has heard good things about the staff and be is

looking forward to working with them. “It’s going to take a big cooperation on all of our parts to keep it going and improve upon it,” Mediteh commented. The Indianapolis native is a 1955 graduate of Tech High School, where he played baseball for four years and basketball, three. Meditch lettered in basketball and baseball at DePauw University before going on to do graduate work at the University of lowa, as a student seeking a masters in health and physical education. He returned to Tech as the assistant basketball and baseball coach, a position he held for seven years. “We had good teams and we had good talent.” Meditch remembers Among the talent was Jim Price, a current player for the Denver Nuggets He began recruitment as an assistant basketball coach at Ball State University. “It’s long and it took some time from my family, but I enjoyed it,” Meditch said of his four-year stint. The lake community was a big

factor in making the decision to assume his duties as director, because of his family. Wife, Kay and daughters, Jerilyn, 15; Laura, 11; and Holly, 18 months; were settled into Syracuse this past week end. Friends from Pennsylvania assisted the Meditch family in moving. “We did make some good friendships there,” Meditch said. “And I know this community is pretty much the same way.” Benzene is potential cancer cause Can drivers who fill up their own tanks at gasoline service stations be helping themselves to cancer, as well? It’s a possibility. An air pollutant now making the news as a potential cancercauser is found in gasoline vapors that escape when gas tanks are being filled. The pollutant is benzene, a chemical added to fuel to boost octane ratings. Evidence has been accumulating for the past 50 years that benzene causes leukemia and other diseases. (One example is the recent finding of over 250 cases of leukemia reported among workers chronically exposed to benzene.) The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health now considers the relationship between the substance and the disease conclusive. On its formal recommendation, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has called for a reduction of this chemical in the workplace. Exposure to benzene is not limited to workers or gasolinepump dispensing. Several categories of sources emit this air polluting substance: motor vehicles, benzene production and consumption (it is used in the production of hundreds of other chemicals), coke oven operations and gasoline evaporation. The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) a public interest organization, wants the general public protected from benzene. That organization has, in fact, formally petitioned the federal Environmental Protection Agency to force the listing of benzene as a hazardous air pollutant under the Clean Air Act EDF believes steps should be taken to eliminate the substance entirely. For more information about benzene and other air pollutants, contact your local American Lung Association. The most disappointed people in the world are those who get what’s coming to them.
