Ponchatoula Speaks Up
On baseball
By DUANE E. HARRIS
Sports Editor
Springtime brings blooming
flowers, ripe strawberry fields,
humming honey bees and flying
baseballs to Ponchatoula.
Richard Pabst- "It means so
much to everyone. To me though
it means fun, relaxation and it's
one of the most loved athletic
sports where every family can get
involved. In all it means fun
whether you win or lose."
Linda Crownover- "I love to
watch it especially if my family is
involved. I don't care for the
majors and all that confusion but I
do follow Ponchatoula and I hon-
estly think that I would enjoy
being on a team."
in light of the present baseball
season, what does baseball mean
to you in your life?
Linda Disher- "Oh, I really like it.
l'm always for the home team
since my sons Timmy and Carl are
always right in the middle of it.
I've been involved in it since
Timmy started with little farm
years ago when the leagues were
much smaller. In all I really.enjoy
local baseball."
Buddy & Carol Push- "It's pure
fun. It's so great to coach and
watch kids play and do cute
things Really you can get into it
and everybody likes to see the
kids play We love it because we
like being with the kids and it
makes us feel so young"
L
Voy 'Smitty" Smith- "It's a
good, open, clear, clean cut
American sport that the entire
family can get inv61ved in and not
just the guys. It's probably the
oldest sport and to me baseball
represents America. Really there's
so much more strategy and enjoy-
ment in baseball, and unlike most
other sports it's a game of brains.
It's my favorite."
Larry Roberts- "Problems, that's [
what it means. It seems that prac-
rice is almost impossible to get to
regularly and oh, all those kids."
Robert Roland-"Well, it's spring-
time and baseball is the springtime
sport. It's the time of the year to
get out and play (or watch), have
a good time with your friends as a
celebration of life."
"It's an Ameri-
ca traditioCt and it's an important
relic in our American way of !ife.
We arethe fortunate ones. able to
enjoy the sport. Look it's like
apple pie! Wows, when I think of
baseball I just wanq=get out there
and play because it rreans fun!"
Charles Moulliet- "I love base-
ball! It's the best sport as far as l'm
concerned and there's so much
more strategy involved than in
other sports. It's a good sport in-
volving your brains, it's a clean
sport to teach your kids and, hell,
it's Dart of America."

that many Tangipahoa Parish Parents
are aware of how to gain access to
needed medical, developmental and

care information and guidance for area
parents and their children who are at
risk. The group also aims to link up such
parents with area agencies so that the
health care needs of the children are
adequately met and health-related
problems are prevented.
Teenage
suicide increases
American teenagers are killing
themselves today at three times the rate
they did 30 years ago.
According to experts, adolescents in
the 1980's feel increased pressure from
living in broken homes, the lack of
family ties, drug and alcohol use and
the influences of movies and television,
in addition to the usual adjustments of
growth and development in the teen
years. As many older folks r,,eflect with
regret, "times have changed over the
past two or three decades, and
teenagers may face increased problems
under the "new" rules.
For today's adolescents, a class trip to
the beach may be the source of conflict
rather than relaxation. Do I look good?
Will anyone talk to me?
What about that exam next week? i'
know I'll fail and Dad will be
disappointed. And then how will l get
into college.
The questions and anxieties seem
endless to the young person who has
experienced few of the ups and downs
of life. He or she has no way to know
things will get better, experts say, and
the expectation of things getting worse
may be too much to handle.
Don't let the beach trip, or that test,
or that lost date be the last straw - for
you or your teenager. Find out more
about local programs designed to help
you cope with adolescent fears and
frustrations which may lead to suicide.
The counselors and social workers at
HSA Greenbrier Hospital are ready to
help you, with specially designed
outreach programs and other services.

Schleuss, Adolescent Program Director,
