Show The Sampler, Aug. 23, 1984 Modernization hittin at Dug way by S. Shappee Beeler Weve heard it coming for awhile now, like the low rumbling of an approaching herd of horses, modernization. And now it is one step closer, to becoming a reality. A group of nearly 50 occupants and their families of Wherry three-bedroo- m quarters for ten years or cond bathroom, and a larger master bedroom with a walk-i- n closet are just a part of the prescription ordered to make the quarters more livable and to increase the quality of life here at Dugway. The project is expected to more. The government will pay moves of all for the those who occupy the on-ba- se three-bedroo- Wherry duplexes. They will pay for the cable disconnection and mid-Octobe- plexes gathered at the Post Theater Thursday afternoon to hear the news that they should prepare to move, and soon. Bill Woods, manager of Hawthorne at Dugway, ex. plained that the Wherry housing was chosen as the first part of the. upgrading program because; "We wanted to fix the worst first." The plans sound great; extension of the back wall of the existing units, the addition of dishwashers, a formal dining area, the incorporating of the present garage into the living area of the unit, larger kitchens, the addition of a se re-con-ne- ct. They will pay for the phone changes, too. But they will not move, or pay for a t, nor will they move move anything that the regulations say they dont have to. This includes storage sheds, but begin Woods added that. the contract has not yet been awarded. So there may be a delay. But delay or not, it will happen. At the meeting, the names of the first seven families to be moved were announced; they were all civilians. The order, of civilians over military is based on the regulations that establish housing occupancy priorities. All will have to move within the 280 days that the project will run. The meeting was an emo- du- m r, off-pos- motorized vehicles and swamp coolers. Residents will have to arrange for the movement or sale of these on theirown. The plan is relatively simple: occupants will receive a letter informing them that they are to move within 30 days. They may then contact tiie housing office and will be offered various houses they are entitled to move into. They make their selection, packers come and the move takes place. One day of tional one. Some families at Dugway occupy housing that, based on family size and composition, they are not entitled to. Some have lived in these administrative leave will be and DOD granted to military civilians for the move. The. government will not reimburse moves of housing residents prior to the mailing of the official letter. Nor will they guarantee that once rebe placed, occupants will immune from further moves. The rest of housing is expectif not ing a similar face-lif86 or FY this fiscal year, in t, 87.

Once the fanfare subsides and the Army athletes return to their families and duty stations the inevitable question will arise: "What next? Some athletes, like judo expert Capt. Leo White, who just missed a bronze medal and returns to Fort Carson, Colo., plan to stay in the Army. Others, like Glenesk and Banach, will end their competitive athletic carers, leave the Army and continue their education.
