That kind of sound We were worried But a quick check of the developer chemicals in the darkroom turned up nothing missing He said bis cat Cato the Wonder Kitty had run away to go trout fishing in Alaska and he was going after her to save her from overindulging in tuna We believe him We’re easy But finding a replacement columnist has not been easy Regis Filburn was booked (he later made bail) Joey Bishop put us on hold for four hours and Jay Ieno giggled hysterically until bis jowls fell off It seems we don't have the same status as Johnny Carson This we don’t understand So when the Informed Sourcerer offered bis services we were very happy After all here was a very well informNot ed though fictional character unlike the Average American Voter Would we get some insight into the latest juicy gossip on Michael Jackson Oliver North Ted Koppel Jim and Tammy Bob Carol Ted and Alice or other Great American? No This is what we got:) Once upon a time president was sitting on the White House veranda munching on his favorite meal “New And Improved” Instant Stuff from (‘Caution: this product contains reading to Mrs ingredients’) from his favorite weekly newspaper the Millard County Chronicle Progress He read: “This Media Man! have decided to week take a break from Air and talk about TV journalism which is an oxymoron” “Oxymoron is pretty strong language” said his Nibs furrowing his brow in disdain “I wish they’d leave Dan Quayle alone” Mrs Nibs nodded in agreement “Listen to this” read the Most Powerful Man in the Free World: “In fact I Media Man! have donated all my notes on the Air Farce to the Boy Scouts paper drive Their next cookout will be in Samoa” brow Again with the furrowed routine “Why couldn’t they have vacationed in some American place like by Provo?” “I don’t know dear” Mrs Powerful said shaking her head “Oh lookee” said Noriega’s Nemesis “now he’s talking about me He says: ‘His speech was so dull it made me want to go thither and yawn’ Well gracious sakes he’s not talking about me He must mean Dick Cheney” "Gracious sakes” Mrs Nemesis nodded her head in agreement Whatsisname suddenly laughed Startled the Defense Department went to Condition Red The Joint Chiefs scheduled a meeting The stock market crashed Dogs began to howl The Mrs woke up “Sorry dear didn’t mean to startle you” whatsisname said as the recall code was issued and WW3 was backlogged a few minutes “This line here is pretty funny I think Tell me what you think: 'The Informed Sourcerer said the real problem is not acid rain but whacko rain’ Isn’t that funny?” Mrs whatsisname nodded off “Or is he insulting my environmental policies again whatever they are?” tie environmentalist president said Mrs environment snored in reply “I tell you it’s not what I bargained for” Ronnie’s pal said a tear glistening on his executive cheek A Secret Service agent deftly wiped it away with one hand while using the other to pummel a Deseret News photographer who tried to capture the moment Mrs Ronnie’s pal fell out of her chair still asleep "I quit” whatsisname said “They won’t have me whoever I am to kick around anymore” he muttered He stomped away the way he imagined John Wayne would do it in “True Grit” without the eyepatch but with a swagger and a determined frown on his forehead “I’m going to find where folks take me someplace seriously” So the next day Mrs whatsisname packed him a nutritious lunch and walked him across Pennsylvania Avenue where he was last seen hitchhiking west He’s probably still out there right now somewhere in America still looking for someplace where folks will take him seriously The end Deadlines Contributors to the Chronicle Progress are reminded news

variations HAMOTS of A look at the relationship HAMOTS referred to earlier to is needed HAMOTS stands for High Accuracy Multiple Object Tracking System Linked with radar systems on the the system themselves airplanes combat instructors at enables Hill AFB to monitor and record on computers what pilots do on the range When the pilots return to Hill they can look at tapes of their mission and evaluate their performance The Air Force is very proud of the “It’s pretty precision system fascinating" Hill AFB Public Relations officer Len Berry said “You can see from any angle practically from looking down looking up from the side from the rear from the front from one aircraft looking at the other from the other aircraft looking back at the first one” About 60 HAMOTS have been scattered in and around the range for several years One sits 100 yards from the gapfiller site on the north end of the and one is on a peak Confusions several miles sou'h Gapfiller is accurate to within an eighth of a mile HAMOTS radar is It is accurate to more sophisticated within 50 feet or less down to about 10 feet in some locations Obviously HAMOTS can see and even record what pilots are doing in Snake Valley therefore the Air Force can easily identify violators of flight rules for disciplinary action Obviousthe need for ranchers to ly therefore to identify pilots give information violating rules is a sham and the Air Force is simply unwilling to discipline the pilots Obviously gapfiller isn’t needed to do what HAMOTS does better Obvious but not so Why HAMOTS can’t do the job gapfiller is being bought to do is not clear Apparently the two systems have different purposes Gapfiller radar is for safety “It’s to make sure people are separated from one another and not on a collision course” Hector said “HAMOTS system is to accurately track a vehicle in a test to make sure it’s navigational and guidance system works properly” If the Air Force is blind as they say to pilot violations of flight rules in Snake Valley they are also apparently r blind to a possible collision with civilian aircraft They have been blind for almost a decade when military flights began in the area The have systems But if gapfiller is needed maybe the equipment is not enough HORSEPLAY Whether or not pilots take advantage of the blind spots to engage in aerial horseplay may never be determined It’s not likely pilots will admit to deliberately violating regulations knowing that such an admission could adversely affect their careers But maybe that’s not really so One pilot admitted to buzzing a civilian house and his career has not been In 1943 a Navy adversely affected pilot named George Bush buzzed his girlfriend’s house in Florida The incident stampeded some elephants at a nearby circus “I was grounded for causing an elephant stampede” Bush said years later in mock exaggeration If the can do it can others? Some violations aren’t really They are mistakes in perception by the complaining party Some violations are mistakes made by pilots not familiar with the range It is impossible to believe violations of rules reported or not seen or unseen are all mistakes A future presidential candidate may be flying over Partoun at this minute popping the clutch doing the equivalent of burning rubber dragging the Air Force version of Main Street Air Force officials say they look for gapfiller to end the embarassing cidents “It sure would be nice to be able to identify which pilots were causing problems” Hector said "It ruins it for everybody One pilot pulling a stunt like that gives the entire Air Force a bad reputation Whether it’s accidental or deliberate doesn’t make any difference It gives a bad perception And they need to be straightened out They need to be corrected as to where the areas are or if it’s a deliberate stunt and he gets caught doing it several times he’s got to have some problems He’s got to have some problems with his career” Meanwhile steps to improve relations with disgruntled ranchers have apparently been stepped up Garland said officials from Hill AFB were in Snake Valley recently during a “We’ve been seetraining operation ing a lot of heavy flying” he said “They’ve had two people out pretty much patrolling and they’ve had radios warning pilots to stay above Callao We’ve had some low flying but it’s been minimal And we’ve had a couple or three sharp sonic booms That too has been kept pretty moderate” “I guess you could say from that it appears we got their attention” he said How to reach AF info office If you want information about Air Force activity in the West Desert or elsewhere or if you want to register a complaint about Air Force activity originating out of Hill Air Force That is the Base call number of the Office of Public Affairs at Hill Maj Portia McCracken is in charge “Summer Activities” by Matt Sheridan Park Manager Territorial Statehouse State Park A myriad of activities are planned for this 1989 summer season On May the Third Annual Statehouse Quilt Show will be held in the Legislative Hall The show is a and is open to all exposition quitters If you are interested in displaying a quilt please bring it to the museum on or before May 26 from 9 to 5 pm Also on May 27 at 8 pm there will be a film shown upstairs in the Legislative Hall entitled “Quilts in Womens Lives” followed by a period June 10 is “Free State Parks Day” when all state parks will waive their fee During this day the Territorial Statehouse will sponsor a kite flying contest from pm with prizes given in various categories While your children are flying their kites come visit the museum and see the changes that have been made We think you will be pleasantly surprised! is “Old July Capitol Day” a celebration of our historic past The morning will include a guided “historic” trail ride up Chalk Creek Canyon for ATV’s and afternoon activities include an Indian “Pow Wow” where you can shoot a black powder rifle walk inside a tipi play a cultural drum or take part in a traditional Indian dance At 8 pm a guest lecturer will speak on “Southern Paiute History and Culture” upstairs in the Statehouse The Fillmore Chamber of Commerce is also sponsoring many activities throughout the day On July 22 the museum will show a film entitled “The History of Miss Annie Anderson” a vivid portrait of one womans often hard and lonely pioneering experiences in Utah during the late 19th and early 20th centuries The film will be followed by a lecturediscussion period On August 26 the museum is sponsoring a workshop entitled “Uncovering Your History: Here There and Everywhere Research” If you are terested in family and local history research please plan on attending All films lectures and workshops are free throughout the whole summer For information concerning any of our summer activities please call Museum hours: Dailv pm (6 pm after June 1) The County Agent by Larry Campbell USU Extension Agent Milk fever in heifers? Yes but that’s not normal Normally a heifer doesn’t get milk fever but if she has been fed a diet deficient in calcium for a long period of time she can Severe calci im deficiency responds poorly to a calcium glutinate IV She just doesn’t have enough calcium in her bones to metabolize even with the help of the IV The solution is to change her diet to one that is adequate in calcium and energy Thin weak heifers on inadequate diets are good candidates for milk fever Heifers need to be fed to gain 5 lbs a day from birth through their first calf Heifers need to be grown out well in order to milk A malnourished heifer loses 20 percent of her lifetime milking ability Fat heifers those that gain in excess of 2 lbs a day will lose 10 percent of thiir lifetime milking ability Unlike mature cows prior to calving alfalfa hay is an excellent diet for heifers An 1100 lb heifer will eat around 27 lbs of alfalfa hay a day If you feed corn silage it should only make up half the ration on a dry matter basis A total silage diet while adequate in energy will need calcium supplimentation |
