  • The Scribbler, Jack Brubaker, writes in his Lancaster New Era column, “Ron Mable reported in the June 29 column that Ronnie Smith, a 1966 graduate of Columbia High School, won seven statewide gold medals — the same number as McCaskey High School’s Barney Ewell. Mable has since learned that Smith won another medal before Mable became his coach. Smith also won the mile relay in 1964. So that gives Smith eight gold medals, one more than Ewell.”
