Publicity about Heart A..areness Day has Sculpture work by Dr. McEwan to be displayed this weekend Dr. William S. McE ..an, retired former head of the CbemIatry Division In the NWC Research Department, will present bia third annual RhIbltion of sculpture tonight, and Sunday at the Desert Coun- . seJIng ClInIc, 814 N. Nonna St., Ridgecrest. TbIa display, which will be open tbia evening from 6 to 9 o'clock and on Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon to 7 p.m., will feature the moat extensive collection of ..ork (more than 60 pieces) yet done by Dr. McE ..an. Dr. McE..an's overriding sculptural theme is Western - the animals and birds, first AmeriCans, and wilderness - and he is equally at ease with the contemporary and abstract. His media is as mixed as bia subjects, and bia sculptures are executed in Peruvian walnut, African blackwood, myrtle, manzanita, burls of birch, cedar, and red..ood. He also works in rosewood, ironwood, and carob, as ..ell as bronze, brass, steel, September 10, 1982 turquoise, onyx, marble, jasper, soapstone, pmnice, and ..onderstone. Each sculpture is dictated by the medium, according to Dr. McE..an, ..hich he actually &eel before making the first cut In a block of wood or acoring the first block of stone. By definition McEwan is a carver rather than a modeler sculpting directly in ..ood and stone. Recognized for bia unique mixed-media sculptures, Dr. McE..an received the "Best of Sho.... a ..ard for a multi-figure black ..aInut carving in a competition sponsored by the Alaska Wood Carvers during the 1982 Fur Rendezvous in Anchorage. , As word of Dr. McE..an's WOI'k spreads, SO does bia art gallery representation.

Stenger ..as nominated for the Technical Director A..ard by D. G. Bullard, acting on behall of William B. Porter, former head of the Weapons Department who no.. heads the T&E Directorate. BASIS FOR AWARD The commendation for Stenger focussed on his leadership of the Sparro.. AIrIntercept Missle ( AlM-1M ) Program Office during the period that this program, which also involved the NAVSEA version of this missile (the RIM-1M) experienced as successful transition from development, of production. " Numerous problems ..ere encounfered and overcome through bia (Stenger's ) direct involvement, including major problems in the test and evaluation program, and delivery of the first production missiles,'! Bullard wrote. It also was pointed out by the Acting Head of Code 39 that Stenger participated in detailed reviews associated with contractor cosi proposals and evaluation of the second source contractor. ADMIRAL SEYMOUR PLEASED Stenger's exemplary efforts as program manager for the Sparro.. Project at NWC from February 1910 to April 1912 also came to the attention of Admiral E. R. Seymour, Commander of the Naval Air Systems Command. In a recent letter of commendation addressed to Stenger, Admiral Seymour wrote: "Your support of the Sparro.. Project during tbia critical period of transition to production of the AIM/RIM-1M has been superb. You ..ere the principal government representative interacting with the Raytheon Co. (the development c0ntractor) to ensure that the productinn data package delivered ..as complete, accurate, and contained all information required by the second source in order to begin production succesafully." The NAV AIRSYScO)fofficl8I ..as a ..are, he wrote, that ..hen probiems arose in the missile test and evaluation program, 'Stenger closely monitored the contractor's 'corrective actions and ''provided inciaive and perceptive analyses of the contractor', proposed design solutions."

TV Booster has free pamphlet on antennas, how to install them The TV Booster group which supplies the over-the-air television signals to the Ridgecrest-Inyokern area gets occasional calls from local_dents whose television reception hM ·suddenly gone had, asking if the Booster system is broken . H Actually, when the Booster breaks, which isn't too often, it's generally a single channel, n according to Jim Rieger, TV Booster engineer. "A typical home antenna instaJJation is put up and generally forgotten about unless something happens. What often happens is that wires come off or break in the wind, especially if the installation wasn't too solid in the first place. If the picture goes away abrupUy, the problem is usually between the set and the roof." The TV Booster has a pamphlet on antennas and how to install them for best results. It can be obtained by mail by writing to TV Booster, PO Box 562, Ridgecrest. Reflective tope now being issued free to bike riders September is " Bicycle Safety Month" at the Naval Weapons Center. In keeping with this declaration by Capt. Lahr, NWC Commander, all Center persormel and their dependents are asked to make a special effort to be aware of all aspects of bike safety.

The answer is yes - a UHF antenna connects to a different set of terminals than the cable TV, and provides 12 channels of TV, some not available on cable, on Channels 47 through 89. If a VHF antenna is used, a switch on the hack of the set to allow switching between cable and antenna must be installed, like the kind used for the same purpose on video games and computers. The TV Booster signals would then be received on Channels 2 through 13. It's also possible to have both types of antennas and still be compatible. Since the Booster and cable TV offer different stations, and since cable and Booster outages rarely occur at the same time, the TV Booster engineers suggest that cable TV subscribers keep their antennas up and their options open.

In these times when we are all striving for a better image for Civil Service and, indeed, all govenunent workers, why are some offices and buildings on this Center allowed to have pictures and posters on display that are undoubtedly objectionable? I am a professional woman and I take my job quite serious. I went into a building the other day and found the walls lined with pictures and posters that were strictly off-color. I was there trying to conduct business with the people and found it very difficult to try and discuss serious matters with men in such surroundings. Although I am sure that my displeasure was apparent, I do not think that this is something to be tolerated. This is not something that is good for the image of our Center. I am sure that you would be interested in "cleaning up the pictures" as well as cleaning up the Center. ANSWER I empathize with you in principle and I share your personal discomfort in the public display of offensive pictures and posters. However, there ar.e no explicit Naval Instructions which preclude displaying such things in civilian work centers. For that matter the definition of what is offensive is not always clear. We can probably all agree that a picture of one's spouse, fully clothed of course, is not offensive while a nude posed in a titilating fashion is. Everything in between is subject to individual interpretation. I believe that supervisors should be the judge of what is acceptable in this matter. As an offended person you should seek relief by speaking to your supervisor. If you are not comfortable with doing that and if you'll let me know where the area in question is located,I'llcheckitoutmyseU. I will ensure that common sense prevails but I hope that you can understand that I will not moralize, since that is not within my purview nor is it in the best interest oflhe Center. QUESTION ClvDlan employee-I would like to know why Security uses old pictures for renewed badges. It seems that in three to six years the loss of hair, change in hair color/style , addition/removal of glasses/beard/mustache could cause a significant difference in appearance, If Security is concerned enough to ensure that we wear badges continually, and in view, they should be equally concerned that the Hkeness is somewhat current. ANSWER When a person is photographed for an NWC pass a split lens camera is used and multiple prints are made. The extra pbotographs are kept on file. When a new pass is made if the photograph in file is still a good likeness of the person, the old photograph is used again. If the person's facial appearance has changed significantly a new picture is made. If the person does not care for the picture in the file they can request that a new pbotograph be taken. QUESTION CIvl1Ian--Is it illegal, or otherwise banned, to hold religious meetings, revivals, congregate m groups to discuss religion during nonnal working hours on this or any other base? Also is it true that any employer who uses religious preference to hire or promote someone is just as guilty as someone denying this because of race or sex? ANSWER In answer to your first question: As a general proposition, only work-related activities are authorized during working hours. This would not prohibit informal religious discussions or meetings during lunch periods on base if they did not interfere with the mission of the Center or right of others to the quiet enjoyment of the lunch break. As regards to your second question : Of course! QUESTION . Clvillan employee - I would like to know if there is any reason why there are window-mounted refrigerated air conditioners in the new Housing Office ? My concern is that since energy conservation is of such vital importance, why are they allowed this privilege? Thank you. ANSWER Yes, there is a reason. The Housing Office, which was the PSD office unW recently, has an inadequate cooling system. Of the four cooling units, (which were there when Housing took over that building, by the way) only two work, but they seem to keep things reasonably cool. I'm glad you are so concerned about energy conservation. You're welcome. Multiple-use aircraft arrives. (Continued from Page 1) and wing modifications. Extra parts will be ordered that can be stored for repairs and replacements when needed. The Canadians will train Aircraft Department mechanics about the workings of this particular aircraft so that nonnal repairs can be quickly handled. The aircraft is expected to have low maintenance costs; an overhaul is planned every 2,500 hours or 36 months, with expected air time here being about 600 hours per year. The aircraft also is relatively inexpensive to fly. While the Buffalo will mainly serve as a platform for parachulists, the 28 seats fold up into the wall so that the aircraft can also • • be used to haul cargo and a combination of cargo and personnel. There is a special Search-and-Rescue door installed now to enable a jumpmaster to observe parachutlists. Key military personnel were sen t . to Calgary to perform all of the acceptance requirements established for Naval aircraft, so the newest NWC aircraft was fully operational when it left Calgary for home. On arrival, the aircraft was placed in ser· vice to support NWC.requirements. The aircraft may not roam throughout the world as it did for NOAA, but its new career at China Lake is expected to be as long and certainly as useful as its former life proved lobe. Maj. Czonstka reports for duty as USAF Liaison Officer Maj. Steven CzonsU-pilot LCdr. Byron Dieckman and crew members AE3 John S. Schatz, ADAN Larry Clark, and HN Mark Harrington, ferried members of the CLMRG up the side of Mt. Whitney to begin the search. ' Shortly before dark, team members located Stalnaker. He was about 300 feet from the trail, had fallen, broken his glasses, sustained some injuries, and was suffering from hypothennia . . CLMRG team member Bob Huey (later joined by Daryl Hinman, the operation leader) spent the night with Stalnaker because it was too late to move the injured man that night. They, along with three rr.u hikers (Michael Williams, Eva Walen and Alan Beckers, all from Berkeley), took turns keeping the elderly man wann and stabilizing his condition. Since they were on a 45-degree'boulder and talus slope at nearly the 14,IJOO.foot level, this proved to be quite a task. Friday the SAR helo, now piloted by LCdr. Dieckman with U. Brent Nonnan as c()pilot, dropped off the air crew further down the mountain and flew to the site where the injured man was being cared for to see if it might be possible to airlift him from there rather than making it necessary to carry him to a lower and more level site, which would talle atleast a day. The first attempt to get the injured man aboard tbe helo was unsuccessful because of gusty winds, but the SAR crew IW'rsisted, came in from a different angle, and the second try to get Stalnaker aboard worked. He was then flown to Southern Inyo Hospital in Lone Pine for treabnent of head injuries, a conCussion, and a separated shoulder. The belicopter returned to Mt. Whitney to pick up the CLMRG members. Those involved in the search were Huey, Hinman, David Brown, Bob Adams, Bob Joy, Ken Amster, Corinna Peterson, Bart Hine, Mike Mason and Tom Sakai.
