PTA

Council seeks

funding

for

program

on

substance

abuse

For

the

past

two years, the Sierra Sands

Council of

PT

As

has

been

in the process of

selecting a comprehensive

program

on

substance abuse

that

(once acquired)

can

be

made

available to all

grade

levels in-

schools of the S

ierra

Sands Unified School

District.

The

district's Board of Education has

given its approval to such a

program

en-

titled "Here's Looking at

You

Two,"

the

cost of which is approximately

$9,000

.

The

program

was deemed the most ap-

propriate for the local

area

after

in-

vestigation of a

nwnber

of such

programs

by a committee composed

of

parents

,

teachers, school administrators, and

representatives of the Police Department

and

the Kern County Prohation Depart-

ment.

Included for the ouUay of nearly

$9,000

are

'Potfaith'

planned

by

four

congregations

of

All

Faith

Chapel

The Catholic, Hebrew, Protestant, and

Unitarian congregations of the

All

Faith

Chapel have scheduled an All-Faith

"Potfaith"

on

Sunday, Sept.

19,

at

5:30 p.m .

in

the

Community Center.

Attendees whose

last

names begin with A

through K

are

requested to bring a

main

dish and salad. Those whose

last

names

begin with L through Z should bring a

main

dish and dessert. Everyone should also

bring

their

own table service.

Singles (military or otherwise)

are

en-

couraged to attend.

No

food is required of

singles, but if they feel strongly about

sharing, potato chips, pickles, or anything

else they bring

Would

be welcome.

Any questions should be directed to the

The

purpose of this substance abuse

program

is to provide training

and

activities

for students in

grades

kindergarten through

twelve

that

will help young people

make

responsible decisions about the use

or

non-

use of various drugs, to understand them-

selves, gain self..,steem, and to

learn

various coping skills, proponents of the

program

report.

Because of the cuthacks in federal and

state

educational funds, the money for this

program

must

come from the

community-

through organizations (such

as

PTAs) and

private citizens.

ROCKETEER

High Sierras

attract

fishermen

seeking

relief

from

heat,

smog

Southland smog and heat combined to

send a

larger

than usual

nwnber

of anglers

up

to

try

their fishing lines in Sierra lakes

and

streams

during the week and

on

last

weekend.

The fish were apparenUy in a cooperative

mood,

too,

because anglers

at

South Lake

reported

that

the fish·deaning sink was

busy the entire weekend. Anglers there did

well with worms and eggs, whether they

fished from the bank or from a boat.

At

Lake Sabrina, fishing from the hank

with worms and eggs was fair, but those

who

trolled with Dave Davis lures and

worms were

apt

to take home a limit of

trout.

The fishing

at

Mammoth was

best

at

Twin

Lake, Lake

Mary

and

Lake Mamie. At all

three lakes, trolle

rs

who used flasher blades

attracted

the

most bites.

At

Convict Lake

In

some

areas,

dove

hunters

must

keep

·

fully

feathered

wing

deep into the lake. Fishing in the deep water

that

is cool will produce a better catch than

fishing

near

the

warm

surface waters.

Browns

at

Benton's Crossing bridge were

ravenously hungry for worms and eggs.

Some anglers also did well with a wedding

ring spinner (a spinner that incorporates a

small, flashing stone

as

it spins in the

water).

Fly fishermen

at

Hot Creek scored well.

The best flies to use

there

still

are

(

as

they

have been all

summer)

caddis patterns,

elk hair,

and

King's River specials.

The biggest fish caught during the past

week have come from Bridgeport Reser-

voir's Buckeye Bay. A whole hatch

of

browns in the

2-10-4

lb.

range

have

ended up

in angler

's

creels. These anglers have

been

very cagey about what the fish

are

biting on,

so there's no report on what the fish like.

the

Department of

Fish

and Game said in a

reminder issued recently.

The DFG reco

mm

ended and the Fish and

Game

Co

mmission adopted the regulation

so

that

the species of doves in the hag

ma

y

be identified where the hag and possession

limits differ among species.

Lots of fishermen headed for Lake

Isabella, the Kern River,

and

even

up

into

Monache Meadows and other high country

locations

last

weekend in

search

of the finny

,denizens

of

the

water

(and, perhaps, just the

s1ighUy

cooler weather

that

results from

being where

water

is).

A

nwnber

of these anglers

also

came

home with tickets written by Department of

Fish and Game personnel, mainly for

fishing without a license. Those

who

were

ticketed

at

Monache Meadows were usually

written up for fishing with illegal bait

- it's

stricUy a fly fishing

re

gion.

said

that

vehicle,

he

would

The Freyne family edged out the Polish

Rac

ers

(Leo, Mark and

Jan

Barglowski),

who

finished the race in exacUy

61

min.

Third and fourth places in the Family

Division were garnered by

Jeff

and

Walt Hannon, and by Robert,

Jo

and David

Burdick,

who

finished the

race

in 69:48 and

76:

19

, respectively.

The trout decided

that

it was

too

hot to get

caught. Trout fishing in both

lake

and river

was very slow.

Bluegill were caught all over Lake

Isabella, but were most frequent

near

the

steep and rocky hanks.

The

most attractive

food for the

se

fish proved to be either meal

wonns

or

red worms.

The windy evenings have improved cat-

fishing, with a

nwnber

of channel

cats

in the

7-pound range being caught. Best place for

these is in the

Patterson

Road

area

hack of

the dog pound.

Bass fishing looks good for next

year

and

the

year

after

-

many

tiny hass

are

now

found around the edge of the lake, indicating

a good spawn. rw<>-year-old hass

hit

the

8-

Io-I5-inch size

that

makes

for fun fishing and

good eating.

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

Rie

ger

,

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 in-

stallation

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

an-

tennas and how to install them for best

results.

Lewie

Marty

Council, were

the

prime

movers

in

the

Another question often asked is

if

the

TV

Booster

can

still be received

if

a home

has

cable

TV

.

The

answer is yes - a UHF an-

tenna connects to a different set of ter-

minals 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

ca

ble 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.

safety-<ionacious, and for bike

riders

to

make

sure,

as

well,

that

they obey the rules

of

the

road

Rattlesnake Relay Race

•

In

Popularity of

the

physical conditioning

sport

of running

and

jogging was in

evidence on Thursday night of

last

week

at

Schoeffel Field, which was

the

starting

point

for the seventh annual Rattlesnake Relay

Race, sponsored by

the

Over-the-Hi11

Track

Club.

The turnout of

31

teams

(3

members

per

team) equalled

the

previous record for

participants

in this event.

Each

runner

followed a 3.3 mile course

that

circled up

around the homes behind the Commissioned

Officers' Mess, bordered the golf course,

and

then

headed

back

to

the

starting

point.

Thirty-one

runners

got off to a

mass

start

shortly

after

6

p.m

. when a

rubber

rat-

tlesnake was dropped to

the

ground to signal

the beginning of this event.

There

was a

sprint

for a

narrow

gate

at

the

northeast

corner

of Schoeffel Field and then the

race

seWed down to a

ragged

pace

unW

the

last

members

'of The Proud Losers'

team

crossed the finish line approximately 1

hr

.

and

40

min.

later

.

The

fastest

time for

an

individuaI3.~mi1e

leg

of

the

relay

race

was

turned

in

by

Brian

McChesney, who

was

clocked

at

18

min.,

30

sec

. Runners-up in this category, and their

times, were Bob McDiarmid, 19:07; Gill

Cornell,

19

:

09;

and

Bill McNabb, 19:11.

In

the

women

's

division,

the

five

fastest

runners

and

their

times, were Dianne

Lucas,

Jerry

23:38;

Mary

Kilpatrick,

23

:

50

; Deb Borden, 24:13; and

Brigid

Freyne,

24:35.

The

event

was not one in which the sole

recognition went to

those

who

had

the

fastest

times

. Instead, handicaps were

assigned

based

on

the

proficiency of

each

nmner

in

order

to equalize

the

competition.

In the

team

competition, the winner was

the

Tuf

'n

Ruf

squad

of TiriI

Paul,

Joe

Oliver

and

Gill Cornell. Based on

age

and other

factors, a

certain

number

of seconds was

deducted from

each

team's

actual

time to

arrive

at

a handicaJHldjusted time. In the

case

of the Tuf 'n Ruf

squad

this was

54

min.,

28

sec

. The

team

finished

the

entire

9.9

mile

run

in

58:

28

.

The second place team, Sgt.

Pepper

's

Inyokern Road

Patrol

(composed of Tom

Marshall, Dave Rugg

and

Alex Shlanta)

was

credited

with a

time

(including hand-

icap)

of

54:35, while

third

place went to the

3M().OO

squad

of

Peter

Yu, Bo Sbaw and

Scotty Broyles, who finished

the

race

in

54:55 (including handicaps).

Other

teams

of

QUESTION

ClvDlan Dependent.,-My question is this. 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 build-

ing

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 in-

terfere

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.

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 ex-

pected

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 parachut-

lists

.

Key military personnel were sen t . to

Calgary to

perform

all of

the

acceptance

requirements established for Naval air-

craft,

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

, who

10

a

day

getting

ready

for

the

climb, was reported missing

when

he

did not

meet

his wife

at

rr.u

Camp, about half way down from Trail

Oest,

on Wednesday, Sept.

1.

Early

the

next

morning,

the

<lIina

Lake

Mountain Rescue Group was called to

participate in the

search

for

the

missing

hiker. The

Center's

SAR helicopter, piloted

by Lt.

Col.

Scott Smith, with

LCdr.

Byron Dieckman

and

crew

members

AE3

John

S.

Schatz,

ADAN

Larry

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

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

worked.

was

flown

to

of head injuries,
