Update Follow-up on Metro stories THE EVENING SUN MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1982 State medical discipline board removes former GBMC doctor from probation 50 hours of commission-approved continuing education in radiotherapy. While he was being investigated, Richards voluntarily stepped down as GBMC's chief of radiology. His duties also included being in charge of radiotherapy. He also was associated in the private practice of Richards, Hirschfield and Associates, a professional group he founded. The order reinstating his medical license, effective Feb.

16, was issued March 19 by the commission. The order reports that Richards "has satisfactorily complied" with all the conditions of probation imposed by the commission and that his license was being reinstated "without any conditions or restriction." Several suits have been filed against Richards by former patients alleging over-irradiation and disfigurement. In December 1980, the nine-member panel of physicians authorized to look into complaints of unprofessional and incompetent practices issued an order limiting Richards' practice and subjecting it to strict peer review. In an earlier investigation of his practice, the commission found that Richards' radiotherapy patient load "in conjunction with his other responsibilities, is so great as to limit his ability to deliver competent care to his patients." The panel ruled that Richards needed to take remedial measures "to ensure the competent practice of radiotherapy," the radiation treatment of cancer patients. While on probation, he was not allowed to practice medical oncology and he was required to update the medical records of his patients undergoing treatment, to successfully complete a radiotherapy program approved by the commission and to obtain By Sue Miller Evening Sun Staff The Maryland Commission on Medical Discipline has lifted the probationary status of Dr.

George J. Richards the former chief of radiology at the Greater Baltimore Medical Center in Towson. The doctor is now free to practice medicine without any restrictions for the first time in more than a year. i When the commission placed Richards on a one-year probation in December 1980, his insurance carrier cut off his malpractice insurance and that forced him to stop practicing, he said at the time. Asked if he would remain in Maryland, Richards replied, "This is my home." But, when he was asked where he would resume practice and whether he would be affiliated with any hospital, he said, "This is my personal information.

I do not wish to disclose it." KATHERINE LYONS SHEILA LYONS I mI.L- fis seen in lyO pnoios snorny oerore meir U.S. approves darter recovery plan' Search continues for Lyons sisters J0 jer Harm nialHWri Mr i 4 V-3 The Maryland darter: found only in Deer Geek in Harford County. By Frank Megargee Evening Sun Staff The federal government has just approved an official "recovery plan" outlining measures needed to save the Maryland darter, a minnow-sized fish now on the rare and endangered list. But the hitch is no more federal money is available to carry out the plan which calls for spending about $32,000 over a three-year period to help the darter escape extinction. The tiny fish is found only in a short stretch of Deer Creek in Harford County, and it is so rare even there that scientists sometimes have difficulty finding it.

Approval of the recovery plan means the darter is now eligible for further federal aid but none will be available until the next fiscal year if then, said Roger L. Hogan, regional recovery plan coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which approved the plan. In fact, the Endangered Species Act, under which money is authorized to help troubled creatures, expires in September and will be up for extension by Congress. At best, if any money becomes available, only a small portion of the $32,000 sought for the darter is likely to be approved, Hogan said.

Meanwhile, some elements of the plan can be carried out with what remains of a $52,000 federal grant approved last year for preliminary studies of the darter, said Charles Frisbie, an official with Maryland's Tidewater Administration. Until recently he headed a recovery team of three scientists who drafted the darter survival plan and submitted it to the fish and wildlife service. He is now on another assignment but a replacement will be Hrapchak said there are some people who did not know the girls who have been unable to forget the tragedy. Hrapchak said he received a call recently from a police officer from an out-of-town department, who said he had learned that "an individual susceptible to committing this type of crime was out of prison at the time." Police never located the man who was seen talking to Sheila and Katherine at the shopping center. Following the disappearance, authorities searched sewers, the plaza from basement to roof, the woods in the vicinity of the shopping center, and a 6-foot-deep pond the children would have passed on the 15-minute walk to the plaza from their home.

Two German shepherds, the same ones used to track Patty Hearst to the Los Angeles hideout of the Symbionese Liberation Army, were brought in to join the search. The dogs tracked the sisters to the end of the plaza'a parking lot, down a hill and into a gully next to a shallow creek, where they lost the scent. The reward in the case jumped to $14,000 within two weeks after the disappearance. About that time, police received a tip that a man answering the description of the person seen talking to the sisters at the plaza had been spotted in a station wagon, with two young girls bound and gagged in the back seat. ROCKVILLE (AP)-It has been seven years since young Sheila and Katherine Lyons set out to buy pizza at a shopping center in Montgomery County and vanished without a trace.

But investigators have not given up the search for the sisters. Sheila was 11, and her sister, Katherine, 13, when they disappeared March 25, 1975. They were last seen at the Wheaton Plaza shopping center talking to a gray-haired man carrying a brown briefcase and a tape recorder. Following their disappearance, Montgomery County police spent hundreds of hours chasing leads, following tips from citizens and soothsayers, and checking the whereabouts of known child molesters and sexual deviates. Pictures of the girls, daughters of WMAL disc jockey John Lyons, hung in post offices and police stations for years before they finally were removed because they were outdated.

Despite the years that have passed, two investigators, under the direction of Lt. Paul Hrapchak, continue to check and double-check the 12 to 15 leads that come into their office annually. "We have nothing substantial to go on," said Hrapchak. "We haven't forgotten about them, however." Hrapchak said he received a call just last week from someone with a suggestion for police to investigate in connection with the girls' disappearance. Among them was Leslie W.

Knapp, now an icthyologist with the Smithsonian Institution, who served on the team that drew up the recovery plan. In recent years, scientists, using seine nets or snorkels, have sighted a number of specimens, the latest last May. But on a field trip this fall they failed to sight a single specimen either in Deer Creek or surrounding waters. Once seen, the darter is unmistakable. Less than 3 inches long, it has four dark saddles across its back and extending to the mid-body against a tannish background.

Its fins are dark spotted, and it also has a small dark spot near the lower rear margin of the eye. While waiting for the recovery plan to take hold, the darter currently is protected by state regulations adopted in 1975 forbidding the use of nets for fishing in Deer Creek or the taking of minnows from it for bait. Also, as an endangered species, it is illegal under state and federal law to take a darter. Frisbie pointed out that such measures should be taken in any case to protect the stream. The fact that the darter is there merely "accentuates the need," he said.

Also suggested in the plan is the establishment of upstream "buffer zones," possibly through streamside easements, to curb waste runoffs into the creek. Along the same lines, the cooperation of area planning and zoning agencies would be sought to provide protection for the stream in plans for future development. Another important phase calls for a public information effort pointing up the darter's hazardous situation, its limited range and the fact that it is "particularly vulnerable to the actions of local citizens who in the long run may determine whether this species survives." First reported in 1912 in Swan Creek near Havre de Grace, the fish dropped from view for 50 years until it was rediscovered by a group of Cornell University students in 1962. named to coordinate work on the darter, officials said. As approved by the wildlife service, the recovery plan outlines four approaches for helping the darter.

One would be a study of the fish's life cycle, about which little is known. Along with this, a search would be made for other darter populations in nearby streams and upper Chesapeake Bay tributaries. If it turns out that the fish is confined only to the known population in Deer Creek, the "greatest problem" facing it, the text of the plan points out, will be protection of the stream's water quality and the fish's habitat. The darter is a bottom-dwelling fish that likes to lurk and feed in the gravel and rocky crevices of the creek bed. As a result, elements of the survival plan call for preserving the creek's water quality by setting up water monitoring stations to check on contaminants.

This phase also calls for controlling water use and water discharge permits. disappearance DO YOU OWN A HANDGUN? ARE YOU CONSIDERING PURCHASING ONE?
