Dix situation with Rep. Ed Forsythe again. As you may know, I reviewed the matter with Marty Hoffman at noon yesterday, and with Col. Kenneth Bailey several days ago. Actually, I exchanged intelligence information with him. Hoffman and Bailey advised me that no firm decision has as yet been made with regard to the retention of the training function at Dix. On Novem ber 5, Marty Hotfman will receive a briefing by Army staff on pos sible "back fill'' organizations that may be available to go to Dix in the event the training function moves out. -

CHAPTER 7 The Enduring Hopi Peter Iverson “What then is the meaning of the tricentennial observance? It is a reaffirmation of continuity and hope for the collective Hopi future.” The Hopi world is centered on and around three mesas in northeastern Arizona named First, Sec- ond, and Third. It is at first glance a harsh and rugged land, not always pleasing to the untrained eye. Prosperity here can only be realized with patience, determination, and a belief in tomorrow.1 For over 400 years, the Hopis have confronted the incursion of outside non-Indian societies. The Spanish entered Hopi country as early as 1540. Then part of Francisco Vásquez de Coronado’s explor- ing party invaded the area with characteristic boldness and superciliousness. About twenty Spaniards, including a Franciscan missionary, confronted some of the people who resided in the seven villages that now comprise the Hopi domain, and under the leadership of Pedro de Tovar, the Spanish over- came Hopi resistance, severely damaging the village of Kawaiokuh, and winning unwilling surrender. -

CLUM, Copyright, 1930 The official records heretofore quoted show that the SAN CARLOS APACHE police force had proved itself efficient and sufficient in the matter of the enforcement of order and disci- pline within their reservation from 1874 to 1880; that the great body of Apaches on that reservation were quiet and obedient during said period ; that the troops were removed from the reservation in October, 1875, and were not recalled at any time up to or during 1880. There was, however, one serious affair that occurred during the period above referred to, the exact cause of which I have not been able to ascertain. This was the breaking away from the reservation of more than half of the 453 Indians whom I brought over from Ojo Caliente, New Mexico, and located in the Gila Valley near the San Carlos sub-agency in May, 1877. In his annual report for 1878, Agent H. L. Hart mentions this outbreak briefly as follows : "On September 2, 1877, about 300 of the Warm Springs Indians left the reservation, taking with them a number of animals belonging to other Indians. They were followed by the police and Indian volunteers, and nearly all of the stock they had was captured, and 13 Indians killed, and 31 women and children brought back as prisoners by the dif- ferent parties that went in pursuit. -

Even today, reading the interview I did with him gives me chills. I loved that man with all my heart, he was my buddy. It’s hard for me to accept that the gentle man I knew and loved as my grandfather experienced the atrocities mentioned in his story. I can only imagine what four days R&R in Paris was like when you’d been fighting on the front lines during World War Two in Europe. You can read the interview with him in this book. Without veterans like my grandfather, we may not have a great country to call home. We owe Veterans our freedom. The world would be a much different place than it is today without their sacrifice. It is our duty to take care of them. PREFACE ’m Elder Law Attorney Greg McIntyre of McIntyre Elder Law. My passion is helping seniors protect their assets and legacies.

Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60616 [email protected] www.thehistorymakers.com Creator: Gomer, Joseph Title: The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History Interview with Joseph Gomer, Dates: August 12, 2002 Bulk Dates: 2002 Physical Description: 4 Betacam SP videocassettes (1:48:08). Abstract: Tuskegee airman Joseph Gomer (1920 - ) was a fighter pilot in 99th Pursuit Squadron of the Tuskegee Airmen. Gomer was interviewed by The HistoryMakers® on August 12, 2002, in Duluth, Minnesota. This collection is comprised of the original video footage of the interview. Identification: A2002_140 Language: The interview and records are in English. Biographical Note by The HistoryMakers® Retired United States Air Force Major Joseph Philip Gomer served as a fighter pilot with World War II's famed Tuskegee Airmen. Gomer was born on June 20, 1920 in Iowa Falls, Iowa. From the time he was a small boy, he dreamed of flying airplanes. Gomer and his brother attended school in a town where there were never more than three black families. The only black in his class, Gomer graduated from Iowa Falls High School with honors in 1938. He completed two years of study at Ellsworth College in Iowa Falls, where he took a class in flight instruction. When he enlisted in the Army in 1942, Gomer signed up for pilots' training. His previous flying experience at Ellsworth qualified him to be sent to Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama to participate in President Roosevelt's new program to train black pilots. -

Ampacity and Other Design Considerations for Medium Voltage Cables Used in Renewable Energy Applications
JICABLE15_0001.docx Ampacity and other design considerations for medium voltage cables used in renewable energy applications Earle C. (Rusty) BASCOM, III (1), Richard W. ALLEN Jr. (2) 1 - Electrical Consulting Engineers, P.C., Schenectady, New York, USA, [email protected] 2 - Consultant, Northboro, Massachusetts, USA, [email protected] Renewable energy systems often include underground distribution cables to connect solar panels or wind turbines to collector stations where there is a step up in voltage for transmission to the nearest utility system. The general approach is to utilize medium voltage distribution cables. Many of these systems are designed and installed by developers that are seeking to minimize the project cost so that the payback period of the systems can be realized sooner, making the economics of these systems more attractive to regulators, utilities and other entities. There have been many instances of these cable systems failing after being placed in service due to issues related to thermal overload. The cause of these problems is based on applying traditional utility distribution cable system practices to the environments and operating scenarios associated with many of the renewable energy sites that have alternate characteristics. Factors to consider include: Common cable installation practices for renewable energy projects Geographic environments for renewable projects Route thermal survey and trench design and backfill characteristics Load and loss factors and circuit loading diversity as affects ratings Selection differences between utility distribution cables and renewable energy cables Economic factors Common project ownership Generating characteristics of wind and solar farms Cable system ampacity The combination of these factors and their proper consideration impacts longevity of the cable system and can result in rapid thermal degradation within a few years, affecting the availability and reliability of the renewable energy source that normally would have an expected life of decades. -
