Home My WebLink About1989-07-25 Info PacketCity of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: July 14, 1989 To: City Council Members From: Susan Horowitz Re: Solid Waste Management and the Chamber of Commerce The Iowa City Chamber of Commerce Landfill and Groundwater Subcommittee met on Wednesday morning and reviewed the forum that had taken place last week and also looked at the expansion of its mission in this area, The upshot of our discussion is we are putting together an all member questionnaire to businesses within the community hoping to achieve two objectives: 1) to inform members of the Chamber about solid waste management - problems and some of the potential solutions, and 2) to also find out information about the waste streams in our businesses in the area. The questions will be designed to elicit people's opinions about this, not so much yes or no questions, but they will be in the areas of: 1) composition of waste, 2) current disposal practices, 3) current recycling practices, 4) cost awareness of solid waste, s) awareness of current legal constraints, 6) attitudes towards regional authorities, 7) ultimate plans In terms of mandatory versus voluntary recycling and 8) incentives to doing one or other of the priorities that the DNR outlines. j t i i I 1. i I je 1 i All of these areas have been divided among the members of the Subcommittee and we are I working out draft questions and questionnaires to get back and have this short and sweet survey and hoping to get some Information from it. Thank you. tp5-t j cc: City Manager Director of Public Works City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: July 10, 1989 To: City Council From: City Manager Re: ACT Project Development - Update You may recall, we have had a number of meetings with ACT management concerning the overall project planning for the ACT property. Approximately two months ago I met with ACT management to continue our discussions, At that time they advised me they were reviewing their development options, particularly concerning the potential expansion of their corporate headquarters as well as an additional research facility. The other day, in the routine follow- up, 1 spoke with the ACT officials and was advised that they are still considering their development options. At this time it is hard to predict the direction they wish to take and it appears we must simply sit back and wait. I have advised them that any major transportation Improvements in the area are not only costly and will require the accumulation of capital to finance, but also must be Incorporated into our overall community land use planning. They appear to be sensitive to these Issues. Ibj/pc2 cc: Don Schmeiser 1 I. f i, j i !

In order to be a legally recognized non-profit organization, and before beginning the transition process, the NPO must incorporate: legally declare its existence with Articles of Incorporation and set certain legally -binding guidelines for conducting its affairs with Bylaws. Neither document sets specific policies or procedures for access management, rather, they declare authority for a Board of Directors and NPO employees to set such policies. Please note that with these documents the Board of Incorporators is completing the incorporation of the NPO and not the transition of management from Heritage; that Is still several months in the future. These documents set provisions for the appointment, of an initial Board of Directors who will 'complete the processof negotiating and planning the transition. Because of this, the Incorporating Board is not addressing specific access management Issues. .However, they are setting a general vision for the future of access in Iowa City via the purposes outlined in Article; III of the. Articles of Incorporation. It is important for the public to examine these purposes closely. The Organizational Board will be conducting a public forum on these documents at the Community Producers Meeting on Thursday, July 20 at 7:00 p.m. in Meeting Room A of the Public Library. At this meeting they will appreciate hearing. from the public concerns and questions about the incorporation process and the Articles and Bylaws in particular. After the public forum, the Organizational Board will complete final drafts of the Articles and Bylaws and file them with the state, completing the Incorporation. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact the members of the Board of Incorporators directly or via the city cable staff at 356-5046. Thank you.

Article VII "Board of Directors" names an initial Board of Directors as required by law. The initial Board will be appointed by the Board of Directors as described in Article V of the Bylaws. The Board will announced these appoint- ments sometime before they plan to file the documents in August.

It states who can become a member, how they can become a member, and the powers of the membership. PATV will begin soliciting members in the next year. There will be one individual class of membership with no limitation as to number of members. Any person who supports the purpose of PATV who is a resident of the City of Iowa City, or who subscribes to or is a user of the local cable system may become a member of PATV. In addition, any person who makes application for membership and upon compliance with conditions as may be prescribed by the ongoing Board of Directors may become a member of PATV. Members will be considered to be in i � i� 1 s i 2 good standing upon completion of an application for membership. Producing programming is not a pre -requisite for membership, and membership is not a pre- requisite for using the CPC. Membership is for anyone in the community who shares PATV's goal and purpose of supporting public access television in Iowa City. The main power of the membership is to elect member -elected board members. The article also states that the Board may set dues. The incorporating Board will not be addressing this issue. However, it is not likely that there will be dues or user fees in the near future. The ongoing Board may decide on either dues or user fees if they feel it will help and not hinder PATV's purpose of strong public access in Iowa City. Article V "Meetings of Members" outlines the procedures for calling and conducting meetings of the membership. There is an annual meeting and special meetings may be called.

Assisted by many in the aviation community, a brochure was assembled depicting some of the highlights of the Airport's history. Because most of the students abandoned the project once they got their grade for the class, there was a delay In having the material printed.. But the final results have produced a brochure that is both Interesting and Informative. Although not all - Inclusive as a historical document, it does indicate the Importance and long- term interaction that this community has fostered with aviation. The annual fly -in breakfast and Airport open house is scheduled for August 27, 1989.This provides an excellent opportunity for those in the community to Observe the aviation facilities that are available in the Iowa City area. tp2-1 I * t , .f i i /' 1 TiVE �:l ti(✓y 70 YEARS OF HISTORY AT THE IOWA CITY AIRPORT 1 i I� IOWA CITY AIRPORT TEAM STAFF WBITING STAFF PRODUCTION STAFF Monique Griner Chris Hayes Meg Reasoner Kris Hutzell Susan Wisbey • Copyright May 1988 by [CAT, a production group from The University of Iowa School of Jour- nalism and Mass Communication.

As members of this produc- tion team we have chosen to call ourselves [CAT (Iowa City Airport Team). ICAT's goal was to document the Iowa City Municipal Airport In a manner that would best convey the spirit and history of the airport and meanwhile be light and enjoyable reading. FLIGHT OVER TIME is in no way meant to be a comprehensive history of the airport. Instead, FLIGHT OVER TIME is a collection of stories, events and operations of the past 70 years at the Iowa City Municipal Airport. L Over the course of three months ICAT researched the airport's history. Although many long hours have been spent in various, libraries digging through books and newspapers, we were still able to enjoy our research. We were fortunate enough to have been able to talk with present and former pilots and air enthusiasts. This project has been a true learning experience. Whether it was using the computer, double checking facts, orjust meeting deadlines, we've all met some hurdles involved in the production business. We have enjoyed meeting and learning about the colorful characters in the Iowa City Municipal Airport's history and hope you will too.

Barnstormers thrilled stiff- necked spectators with new stunts, and for five dollars a head, gave rides to the stout-hearted. Other pilots roared Into the sky to deliver the mail and to carry the first paying passengers to distant destinations. But amid the roar of aviation in the twenties came an- other sound - squeal - and It came from a tiny airfield In Iowa City, Iowa, What now stand as the Iowa City Municipal Airport was only a Pilot Walter J. Smith awaits take -oil from Iowa Chy as his plane is retu. elad during the first airmail Pght from Chicago, Illinois to Omaha, Nebraska on January 8, 1920, piece of pasture that served local pilots until the Post Office Depart- ment became Interested in it as a temporary stop between Omaha and Chicago during pioneer mail flights. On Dec, 29, 1919 the Post Office Department tele- graphed Iowa City postmaster Max Mayer to ask for Information about the field. Mayer wired back: "AVIA- TION FIELD ONE AND ONE HALF MILES SOUTHWEST OF POST OFFICE WEST OF RIVER ON RED BALL HIGHWAY. SEVEN -TENTHS MILE FROM STREETCAR. CITY PHONE IN FARM HOUSE.

NO BUILDING FOR AIRPLANE. TEMPORARY FIELD ONLY. WIRE MARKINGS DESIRED. AVIATORS REPORT FIELED FIRST CLASS " Ten days later Iowa City was the only stop during the first air mail between Chicago and Omaha on Jan. 8, 1920. Iowa City air mail enthusiast Robert N. Carson made sure Iowa City would not be left out of the history books by sending a live 10 Ib pig on the return trip to Chicago on Jan. 9, 1920. Carson shipped the pig to his friend and manager of the Congress Hotel in Chicago, John W. Burke,as a publicity stunt. While the pilot of this pioneer flight; Walter J. Smith, was flying back to Chicago with his squeal- ing passenger, Carson received a telegram from Burke which read: "JOHNNY BURKE IS STANDING OUT ON THE LAKE FRONT WATCHING FOR AIR- PLANE PIG. HURRY UP OR IT WILL BE A HOG. NO ONE HERE BELIEVES YOUR STORY." The pig arrived safely, and Iowa City's air field secured a small place in aviation history. The airfield was later to be named Smith Field in honor of pi- lot Walter J. Smith who was killed in a plane crash Sept. 81922, two and a half years after his his- toric flight. Since 1920 Iowa skies roared during daytime air mail delivery, as well as at night during experi- mental, non -air mail night flights, but the two were not combined until Feb. 22,1921 when Smith Field was designated as a fuel slop in the first transcontinental attempt to fly air mall both day and night. Two westbound pilots and two eastbound pilots faced wintry skies in their attempt to show the feasibility of day and night airmail in all weather condi. tions. Both westbound pilots were forced down before reach- ing Chicago because of snow- storms, and one eastbound pilot crashed in Nevada. The other eastbound pilot continued his flight to North Platte, Nebraska where pilot James H. "Jack" Knight was waiting to take over the mission in DeHavilland bi- plane #172. Knight, whose nose was bro. ken from the previous week when he was forced to make a landing on the side of a mountain east of Laramie, Wyoming, began his nothing less than heroic flight to Omaha at 10:44 p.m. with a map, a compass and bonfires along the route to guide him. At Omaha he found two obstacles in the way of the airmail mission. His relief pilot had not arrived, and the next leg o1 the flight to Chicago had been cancelled be- cause of the snowy skies. Knight called Washington D.C. and asked to continue the airmail mission. Upon receiving permis- sion he prepared for his flight to Iowa City. Knight was not familar with the route to Chicago. by day, much less by night so he studied his map while his DH #172 was serviced. Knight flew through overcast skies to Iowa City, but Smith Field sat in darkness because the air strip had received word that Knight's flight had been cancelled. With only seven min- utes of gasoline left, Knight circled the field until he saw the red glow from a railroad fusee. Guided by that light Knight safely landed his plane and was greeted by an elderly night watch- man who said, "Everyone went home, but I heard your engine t . Pe. 13# v i i 1 i i i Ii !1 I: I= If and lighted a fusee anyway." 'That act," Knight later said, "saved [the] airmail." Knight refueled and continued his flight to Chicago and was later noted for his heroics in saving the airmail. The country now knew air transportation was real and here to stay. Congress soon af- ter appropriated $1,250,000. for the continuance and expansion of airmail service. Experimental transcontinental j day and night air mall flights con - tined after the first successful at- tempt in 1921, but night flying on a regular basis on the transconti- nental airmail route did not begin until July 1, 1924. The inaugural + transcontinental airmail flight west touched down at Smith Field at 8:20 p.m.. Pilots Randolph Paige ' and D.C. Smith touched down an hour ahead of schedule and were greeted by a crowd of over 3,500 Iowa City residents. This flight in which a letterfrom the Merchants Association of New York was de- livered to the Iowa City Chamber of Commerce is recalled as one of the most dramatic and memo- rable events at Smith Field. Cars filled roads to the airport as people tried to get a glimpse of the flight that was part of Iowa City's claim to fame. There were only 34 landing fields on the origi- nal transcontinental route, and Iowa City's Smith Field was one of those shining points on that air. way. What had stood Just six years earlier as a level tract of pasture land was fast becoming a vital landing field In the United States. Smith Field became equipped with two powerful beacons which revolved on a fitly foot tower. One emitted 8,000,000 candle- power while the other used in foggy and stormy weather emitted 500,000,000 candle- power.

This equipment made Smith Field one of the best night landing fields in the Midwest. Smith Field continued to develop and be- came the first airport in Iowa to have a radio station. The landing field served as a vital part of airmail service until the late 1920's when postal offi- cials named Des Moines as the permanent intermediate station on the transcontinental route. Smith Field was facing its end un- til the people of Iowa City passed a bond Issue on May 27, 1929 for the purchase and development of the field as a municipal airport. Seventy years ago William J. Benjamin owned land which was home to both cows and pilots. He could not have forseen the epic events that would take place there. He could not have known or even Imagined that very piece of pasture would be the site where planes would roar in the Unted States air mail history and where Iowa City residents would roar with pride and excitement as Smith Field brought heroes down from the sky. /31+44 a 1 ARTICLE BY SUSAN WISBEY IOWA CITY JOINS THE WAR EFFORT The beginning of World War II and one man's passion for flying turned the Iowa City Munici- pal Airport Into the training grounds for over 2500 young pilots between 1939 and 1944. That one man, Paul Shaw, still lives in Iowa City today and speaks proudly about the role his company, Shaw Aircraft Company, played In developing those young flyers. "My office door was always open," Shaw says. "Students and Instructors were always welcome to walk in and discuss anything from flying to personal problems," he proudly states. Shaw's business in Iowa City began in 1926 when he moved his only airplane from Ce- dar Rapids to Iowa City. Shaw gave his first flying lesson from Iowa City in that same year using his Air King airplane. That first flying lesson was the beginning of a successful flying business for Shaw and the Shaw Aircraft Company. The business had been prosperous enough by 1939 that Shaw was able to build his own storage building at the air- port Shaw Aircraft Company's Involvement in flight training began in September 1939 with the Civil- ian Pilot Training Program. This program was developed by the Civil Aeronautics Authority, which is now the Federal Aviation Ad- ministration, in order to make up for the lack of trained pilots in the United States, The Iowa City CPT pro- gram was a combined effort be- tween Shaw's company and The University of Iowa's College of En- gineering. The College of Engi- neering taught the ground school and the Shaw Aircraft Company taught the in-flight part of the pro- gram. The original intent of the CPT program was to Increase the number of trained pilots available to the Armed Forces, so after the first two classes, future students were required by the CAA to enter the Armed Forces it they were needed. In order to get the students through the CPT program in a rea- sonable amount of time, Shaw and his two other instructors began their days at 4 a.m. Shaw says they would meet at Smith's Cafe In Iowa City for breakfast, and have a few students meet them so they could get started flying as early as possible. The other students would come out to the airport throughout the rest of the day, keeping Shaw and his two instructors quite busy. Although Shaw says he was enjoy - Ing himself, the CAA quickly put an end to these long days. Sitting in the study of his Iowa City apartment, Shaw tells of how he stopped doing the actual flight instruction. "I was working 12 hours a day, doing both flight Instruction and the officce work," Shaw says, "and a CAA Inspector came to Iowa City and told me that I was working too hard and would have to quit teaching." 9 I !I r. i" I N �I i{ Paul Shaw with his pilot training class in 1940. The inspector told Shaw that he could continue on as Chief Pilot, but that he had to hire a new instructor to lake over his class. Shaw gave his class over to a new instructor, but finished teaching the four women that were in the program. He says that the other instructors had problems teaching the females, but that he thought they were Just as compe- tent as any of the men in the pro- gram. With Shaw himself no longer doing actual flight instruc- tion, the CPT program ended in 1941 when the War Training Serv- ice began. The University of Iowa and Shaw Aircraft Company again worked together to train the stu- dents. The WTS was the begin- ning of the United States Navy Pre-flight School in Iowa City. The Navy cadets enrolled in this pro- gram lived at the Burkley Hotel, which stood on the comer of Washington and Capitol Streets, where Younker's now stands. The pre-flight school was used to weed out cadets before they were sent on to more extensive flight training. Shaw viv- idly remembers an incident with one of the less successful candi- dates. "Students were required to do high maneuvers, spins and rolls at over 3000 feet, before they passed the course," says Shaw with a grin on his wrinkled face. "Well, every once in a while one of the instructors would forget to tell the students that they drift with the wind up at that ahi- tude,"Shaw continues. "ihestu- dents would go up and do their maneuvers, then head back in what they thought was the direc- tion of Iowa City." "Ailerons student had finished his maneu- vers, he thought he was over North Liberty and headed in the direction of Iowa City. He had actually drifted over Iowa City during the maneuvers and ended up landing in a field eight miles south of River- side," Shaw says with a laugh in his voice. Fortunately, that was about the most serious type of ac- cident that ever occured during the 1,310 Thirty-two Taylorcmft planes were used for flight training at Shaw Air- craft Company. flight training programs Shaw Aircraft company also offered a cross-country flight training program at the same time as the VJTS. The cross-country flight training program began in the fall of 1941, operated for two years, and taught almost 150 stu- dents. This program taught night flying, Instrument flying, navigation, meterology, and radio procedure. The Shaw Aircraft Com- pany taught both the ground school and the flight training for the cross country program. After suc- cessful completion of this program, students went on to a twin engine school or to a commercial airline. Shaw remembers that several of his students went on to become pi- lots for United Airlines. The WTS Navy Pre-flight school was at the same time as the cross-country program teach - Ing both primary and secondary flight Instruction. Shaw explains that primary instruction taught the basics of flying and that secondary instruction taught aerobatics and precision flying. Shaw speaks proudly of his Involvement with the pre-flight school. "I was the Chief Pilot with my own private office, but I was always available to talk to anyone," says Shaw. Little incidents between the students and Instructors were always occuring, Shaw explains, and he would always step In it it was necessary. "One student from Ken- tucky was having problems with his flying lessons, and the instruc- tors asked me to see if I could help," says Shaw. Shaw called the student into his office. "I told him to close the door and whatever the two of us said would not leave my office," recalls Shaw. After a little nudging the young man finally told Shaw that he was having a hard time concen- trating because he was worried about his mother back home in Kentucky. "That young man had not yet received his compensation and was afraid that his mother had not received hers either," says Shaw. "He was worried that his widowed mother was alone with no money or groceries." Shaw promised to take care of the situation for the cadet , even if it meant having to loan the young man money himself. "Well, I called the navy of- ficer in charge of the cadets," says Shaw, "and he contacted the Red Cross in Kentucky." "It turned out that the boy's mother had enough food for two or three weeks and was Just fine," says Shaw. "After the boy heard i I ! II �I i I! <f!

A contract signed in May 1930, between the City of Iowa City and the Boeing Company re- sulted in the exchange of financial aid for free use of the airport. This contract also included that Boeing would make some im. provements at the airport. These Improvements included construc- tion of two Improved runways, an- other hangar, and other improve. ments which were a total Invest. ment of $200,000. Boeing purchased Pacific Air Transport in 1928, and then later merged with Varney and Na- tional to establish United Aldines.

Today, the Iowa City Mu- nicipal Airport, owned by the city of Iowa City, and administered by a five -member airport commis- sion, boasts three primary run- ways measuring 4,000, 3,998 and 3,900 feet. The commission leases out 30 T -hangars, hall of which are rented to such corpora- tions as Hansen Lind Meyer, JM Swank Co, and Henry Louis Inc. The rest are rented to private c ti- zens.

Larson also considers flying to be 75% psychological and 25% skill. Which skill or me- neuver is most difficult and chal- lenging for a pilot to master? Without hesitation, Larson an- swers, "landing." In fad, 27.1% of aviation accidents occur during the landing phase of operation. Statistically, the approach phase accounts for the least amount of accidents—only 11.7% The next rating is an in- strument rating, requiring a per- son to log in 125 hours worth of training time, which allows a per- son to fly in adverse weather and to navigate according to signals transmitted from the ground. Also, at the Iowa City Flying Serv- ice, a person can train for a com- mercial pilot license, requiring 250 hours of training time. Ambi- tion, time, and money willing, a person can also obtain a trans- port pilot license which requires 1,500 training hours. Possibly one of the most significant and useful features of the Flying Service, is their linkage with the UI Hospital's "Organ and Tissue Procurrement Program." This program, run by five Univer- sity of Iowa Hospital staff mem- bers, and led by Jim Kisihardt, organizes all the organs donated throughout the state of Iowa. Typically, the Organ Pro- curement Program might tele- phone the Iowa City Flying Serv- Ice staff and ask them to supply a pilot to pick up an organ being kept alive in, let's say, San Fran- cisco, and have this pilot trans- port It back to Iowa City. Now then, suppose San Francisco has a kidney, an organ which can only be kept alive, and 17 131P !■ stored cold, for 32 hours. Sup- pose this kidney has already been kept alive for four hours out- side a human body. Suppose it takes two hours for San Fran- cisco and Iowa City to determine that the kidney's donor matches the Intended recipients blood type, tissue type, size, age, etc. If a match is made, then suppose it takes another two hours to lo- cate a pilot and fuel the plane in Iowa City, and arrange to pick up the kidney in San Francisco. At this point, the kidney is eight hours old, with a 24 hour remaining lifespan. It takes about six hours to fly a Piper -Navajo to the Golden Gate City, including a stop to refuel, and another six hours return trip. Cost of the roundlrip flight: $4,000.00. In the meantime, doctors, operating room, and additional staff have been located. The or- gan has 12 hours to spare. The operation takes anywhere from 2 1/2 to 7 hours to complete. The kidney had another 5.9 hours to live. This scenario, although not a daily occurence, captures but one invaluable tool that the Iowa City Airport provides for its community. Obviously, the airport has come a long way from being a tiny plot of land to its now, full - swing operation. Many local pi- lots and Iowa Citians have ob- served Its gradual growth with both curiosity and amazement, and, not unlike Phyllis Barber, the woman who snared the pigskin helmet in '35, have fond memo- ries and momentos of the place. And, perhaps, just like Phyllis, they still have their momentos stored proudly in their homes, and the memories Imbedded deeply in the back of their minds, reminding them of the small part they played In the growth of the Iowa City Municipal Airport 18 Iowa City Municipal Airport in 1988.

In those days, pilots followed lines of bonfires built at predeter- mined places by farmers and ranchers. Later, pilots used lighted beacons and the tights at emergency alrlields, but these proved effective only at night and only when visibility was good. By 1925, experimental navigation work was begun, utiliz- ing radio beacons, which later gave way to the new, more so- phisticated Very High Frequency Omnidirectional range, (VOR). This system is the primary mode of navigation used by private and commercial pilots In the United States today. Another system, the Automatic Direction Finder, (ADF), allows a pilot to use ordi- nary A.M. broadcast stations to navigate. The Loran Is yet an- other sophisticated electronic system that dates back to World War I, when ships first used the system for navigation. Even more advanced, is the highly sensitive INS, Inertial Navigation System, which relies on nothing outside of the aircraft to guide Itself. Worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, the INS is so precise that after a pilot pro- grams his or her latitude and lon- gitude into the computer to the exact degree, the moment after take -off, the system will account for any acceleration, deceleration, or any preturbations of any sort in that aircraft from the point of de- parture. This highly computer- ized system Is so sensitive, it can sense a change in speed as small as one mile per hour differ- ence, and can compensate for any degree of wind pressure or slight rotation of the aircraft. Pilots flying Into Iowa City have little use for this super -so- phisticated and highly accurate system, but a few local pilots offer some anecdotal and personal glimpses into how they have guided themselves over the years during flight. In the early 1900's, when flying airplanes was still a novelty, Paul Shaw, founder of Shaw Air- craft Company, and a familiar name in Iowa aviation circles, had a particularly unusual way of ori- enting himself from inside of his aircraft. "In those days," said Shaw, "we looked for farms with chicken and hog houses, be- cause the windows were always built into the south side.' Shaw added, the radiating heat from the south sun would always keep the animals warm. "in any case," he said, "back then, we learned to look for the farms and those windows would always straighten us right out." Another Iowa City pilot, Jerry Full, relies on his familiarity with the Iowa terrain to direct him- self. Full, like many local pilots, determines his whereabouts on sunny days by referring to build- ings, rivers, and roads. During poor flying conditions, he uses his VOR system, the mainstay and foundation of electronic navl- galion. Asked if he has ever been lost while flying, Full said, "Well, I've scratched my head a few times, especially when I'm com- ing into Iowa City from the east," but, for the most part, Full will continue flying until he spots a familiar landmark. To be certain, pilots never gel lost, they only become "tem- porarily displaced In the Air Force, the notion of becoming lost in mid-air is de- scribed as "hours and hours of sheer boredom, Interrupted by moments of sheer terror." 19 Yet another form of navi- gation, occasionally still used to- day, is airmarking, developed in the mid -1930's. These bright, yellow airmarkers painted on top of buildings and visible from an altitude up to 3,000 feet, provide pilots with the name of a commu- nity, a directional arrow, and the number of miles to the nearest publicly owned airport. Generally, private pilots and people who fly under visual flight rules use the airmarkers, and, even then, only In emergen- cies. Also, flight instructors ooca. sionaily Instruct students to use them in case they become lost or disoriented in the air. As for Paul Shaw and his friends, they would use the ar- rows on occasion to locale the next town, however, when it came to needing directions, they preferred to stick to the chicken coops for precise directions. Still another pilot, Drake Hokanson, was asked it he ever used the airmarkers. He said, "I've used them on occasion, but only to confirm what I thought I already knew." Hokanson, like pilots full and Shaw, prefers to use the most basic and primitive forms of navigation called pilotage and dead -reckoning. Generally, these techniques refer to a pilot gauging his time and course by reference to the ground. Hokanson is especially interested in the geography of the country and finds that the most fun for him Is "looking out of the window to see what is between point A and point B." As opposed to navigating by radio, pilotage gives him the opportunity Wen - joy what is going on In the air as well as to watch the sights on the ground." Other navigational tools include using a road map in the air as a supplement to an aeronautical map, which, in some aviation circles, is considered "uncoolh." Also, water towers have often been used for guidance, and, if all else fails, then trust your compass. if not the compass on your control panel, then, you can never get lost it you follow the "iron compass; an old and familiar pilot's term for fol- lowing railroad tracks. Above all, as one Iowa City pilot believes, the best navigational tool is self-reliance, so that a per - son doesn't become overly de- pendant upon radio electronics and exterior gadgetry. So, in less than 80 years time, aviation navigation has guided pilots from using bon- fires to hog houses to water towers to radio electronics. And even in this day of refined and complex computerized sys- tems, one of the best, if not most rewarding forms of private pilot navigating in Iowa, is still to refer to the geography of this state's rich terrain.

In order to reduce chances of our plant being intruded by burglars,wre have taken some steps toward more secure locks and tying in some more doors to our security system. I thank again all Officers involved, especially Officers Cox, Ross, Berg, Kibbee, and Sergeant Widmer. Sincerely yours, H. P. Smith Div. James River Corp. Tom Farzad Plant Engineer TF:dd CC: R. E. Bloch, Plant Manager RPS/JR, Iowa City, 1A QUALITY IS OUR FUTURE I 1 July 3, 1989 Police Chief Ia. City Police Dept. Dear Sir: I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Department and Officer Steve Duffy for your involvement in a hit-and-run accident that my son was involved in on March 28, 1989. Working together, we located the motorcycle and cyclist that ran into my seventeen -year-old son. The cyclist was charged by Officer Duffy with Improper Passing and Failure to Leave Information and Give Aid, to which the cyclist pled guilty. The cyclist had no insurance so my son and I filed papers to take him to small claims court. Officer Duffy advised us and came to small claims court on June 28, 1989 on our behalf on his day off, and stayed until the proceedings were concluded. I can't tell you how impressed we were with the manner in which he dealt with our son and the willingness he showed to support us throughout this case. Thanks again to Officer Steve Duffy and the Department. cc: Steve Duffy Sincerely, Duane R. Von Ahsen 5 Regal Lane Ia.
