Dally Herald, Monday, July 10, 2006 In Portable Pool: Ex-Tyroner Guides Unique Swim Course A unique experiment, teaching fourth graders swimming in a portable pool on the gym floor of a Baltimore, Md. county school, is being supervised by a former Tyrone young man, James Miller, son of Mrs. Arthur Snyder, of Mountain Orchard, Tyrone RD 3, is supervisor of physical education for the county's elementary schools. The pool, 40-ft long, 20-feet wide and holding three feet of water, rests on a platform of wooden beams covered by plywood sheeting to permit circulation between pool bottom and floor to prevent damage to the highly polished gym floor surface. Miller presented the idea to the Baltimore Co.

Board of Education last year. The board approved and the pool was set up last April. The course lasted six- weeks and since then the pool was emptied, disassembled and moved, The pool was provided for the experiment without charge by the designer and fabricator, Aquatech Management Corp. of Cockeysville, Md. The course was offered to only fourth graders.

In the Glasgow area where there have been considerable strip mining over the past few years the ground has been lev. eled and evergreen trees planted to obscure the scars on mother earth. We noticed more of this type of work done in that area than any other place we have been, and the trees make a big improvement over what was left of the strip mining, On top of Janesville Pike another car ahead of us stopped and we followed suit. A yearling doe was standing along the side of the road and was perhaps wondering what we were gawking at. The first car pulled away and the deer kept looking at us.

We honked the horn and still it stood. At another point we saw another deer but it was at full gallop with white flag waving.
