Gershow Recycling Supports Local Catapult Team's
Attempt to Break Pumpkin-Flinging Record

Gershow Recycling recently donated two pieces of angle iron to Kenneth
Phalen, Coach of the Islip High School Catapult Team, for a catapult Mr.
Phalen's team is building for the upcoming Long Island Championship Pumpkin
Fling, which will take place Saturday, October 24 at Suffolk County Farm &
Education Center in Yaphank.
Mr. Phalen, who works as an architect for Suffolk County, volunteers his
time as the coach of the Islip High School Catapult Team. He assists in the
design and construction of the catapult and implements the catapult's
design. Although the high school may pay for the team's entry fee, Mr.
Phalen relies on residents and local businesses - such as Gershow - for
donations.
The catapult, nicknamed "Jack-O-Splatter," is a Trebuchet, which is powered
through human means. The Islip High School Catapult Team is seeking to break
its own Long Island record of 819.4 feet, and the world record of 856 feet.
Mr. Phalen said he will return to Gershow for more supplies for the
catapult.
