FRIDAY AT THE RACES

(THE AGONY OF DEFEAT , . . AND DE LUNGS?)

O Runners attack the mesa's 152.4-meter climb.Wadleigh.)(Photo by Ginger

It may not have been the BolderBoulder or the Coors Classic, but NCARracers last Friday seemed equally chal-lenged and spent, and spectators seemedequally entertained. Although cloudsand lower temperatures this year gaveall racers a break, the mesa's relent-less grade has the power to make ham-burger out of hamstrings and caramelout of calves.

A new addition to the races thisyear was the water balloon relay race.Darkening skies and threats of light-ning added excitement to the alreadyvolatile balloon relay.

Some highlights of the races in-cluded second-place footrace winnerKevin Sweder (Atmospheric Chemistry andAeronomy Division), who ran noncha-lantly across the finish line flickinga cigarette. Ronald Ferek (AdvancedStudy Program [ASP]), on bike, andThomas Bettge (Atmospheric Analysis andPrediction Division [AAP]), on foot,looked like runaways from a luau. Bothwere adorned by straw hats and flower-print racing silks. Tom sported achartreuse Florissant Beauty Salon vin-tage shirt with his Hawaiian-styletrunks. Said Tom in a post-race inter-view, "I don't know which was harder:running up the hill this year or or-ganizing the event last year." RichardKatz (ASP visitor) just happened to bein town for the race, and claimed firstplace for the second year.

First place among the women runnerswent to Liese Dall, a student assistantwith the Convective Storms Division."I've never run all the way up the mesabefore," said a surprised Liese (whodecided to run the race only days be-fore), "and it was quite an experience;one I think I'll put off repeatingright away." Liese, however, has run amarathon.

Lofton Henderson (Scientific Computing Division[SCD]) battled wheel against wheel to finally takefirst place among the cyclists. "I did the MountEvans race a few weeks ago," said Lofton, "andsomehow I didn't feel nearly as ruined afterwards."Rounding the last bend, Lofton and Vincent Greene(SCD) nearly touched wheels and collided. Vincetook second place.

In the women's section, Carol Fey (Library)passed Juli Rew (Publications) to capture firstplace by eight seconds. "I accidentally shiftedinto fourth gear instead of third in the finalstretch," said Carol after the race, "I thinkthat's what did it."

"I figure my time was off by about five min-utes," said David Fulker (SCD), who had the misfor-tune to throw off his chain just as the race began(not even making it past the Bob Chervin Memorialbefore his mishap). "Otherwise I would have beenin first place," he joked.

Although there were rumors that Robert Chervin(AAP) was training on Trail Ridge Road this yearfor the bike race, Bob participated only as a spec-tator (rather than a spectacle). A few racersraised their eyes from the pavement just longenough to notice the Bob Chervin Memorial (seephoto). Last year Bob became ill from the intoler-able heat and competitive pressure, and collapsedabout halfway up the hill. A memorial plaque wasplaced on the spot this year by anonymous personsto commemorate the event.

Some intrepid souls, such as John Adams (SCD)and Joseph Choy (SCD) competed in both hill races.But most others, content with just one, tried forimproved times from last year. Jan Stewart (ASP)boasted a whopping two-minute, 12-second improve-ment over last year's foot race time, while EdwinWolff (Director's Office) shaved two seconds offhis cycling time.

The balloon race, though lessless exciting. Staff members,amazed at the various techniques

event. Some of these included wearing a Pinocchionose (Karen Lynch [High Altitude Observatory]) andusing a canine partner (Joseph Klemp [AAP]). Therewere various methods of loading and carrying thesix water-filled balloons--the stacked grapefruittechnique (which produced interesting runninggaits) or the more advanced balloon-ends-in-the-fingers grip (which required great manual dex-terity). And there were other techniques too com-plex to describe. But John Firor (ASP) dispensedwith the problem almost entirely, and ran to thefinish with one waterless balloon dangling from hisfingers. Perhaps buckling under the tensions ofthe race, several participants began hurling waterballoons at each other and the spectators. Attackson innocent bystanders up on the Tree Plaza werecountered by the spilling of beer.

After the races the crowd gathered on the TreePlaza for the award ceremony, refreshments, andmusical entertainment by Budd Beane.

"In Bill Hess's absence, I want to express histhanks as well as mine to the Employee ActivitiesCommittee EAC for the wonderful party they put onfor the staff on Friday afternoon," said NCAR'sassistant director Edwin Wolff. "These events helpmake us all feel more like a family. The amount ofeffort by the [EAC] to organize these activities isgreat, and we don't often get the opportunity to

HAROLD SMITH RETIRES

Known to most staff members as "Smitty," HaroldSmith recently celebrated his retirement at a partyin his honor. Smitty has worked at NCAR for thepast 15 years in various capacities. "My first dayof work here was also just about the first day theMesa Lab opened," he said. Smitty began at NCAR asa security guard before all the glass panels wereset in the doors, or the stairs were poured. "Weused to lock up the building at night by placingtwo-by-fours through the door handles," hereminisced, "but since there was no glass in thepanels beside the front doors, anyone could walkright through." After a year and a half as aguard, Smitty transferred to outside maintenance,which he headed until 1973. He then joined theelectrical crew, where he worked until hisretirement.

Smitty is actually retiring for the secondtime. As a U.S. Navy career man, he served aschief damage control officer. "This was the orig-inal carpenter's mate job with a new title," saidSmitty, "but since the Navy no longer uses woodenships, the carpenter's mate has become a jack-of-all-trades, doing pipefitting, welding, and alltypes of ship repair." During his 12 years of seaduty he taught damage control, fire fighting, and


on-board response to nuclear attacks. His lasttour of duty was as a Navy recruiter in Boulder.

In between his first retirement and his secondcareer at NCAR, Smitty drove the Gold Hill schoolbus, winding daily up Four Mile Canyon to pick upchildren in Gold Hill, and weaving back downSunshine Canyon to drop them off in the Boulderschools.

"If anything, I don't have enough time since myretirement--I've got so many irons in the fire," hecommented. Among other things, he is remodeling a100-year-old cabin he owns in Eagle County. "It's

what you'd call a line cabin, the kind the cowboyswould build on the 'line' of a cattle drive. Onceit's finished, I'd eventually like to live in thecabin full time and run my leather business fromthere." Smitty operates a leather-workingbusiness, making belts, wallets, accessories, andsome industrial items. He also plans to expand theleather business to include repairing harnesses forhorse teams used by local ranchers. In b0tweenworking on the cabin and the leather business,

Smitty maintains his truck and does some huntingand fishing. He plans to celebrate Labor Day athis cabin, with an NCAR crew on hand for both workand play. e RG

ANNOUNCEMENTS

SKI CLUB NEWS

During the month of September, the art galleryon the second floor of the Mesa Laboratory willfeature batiks made by James Downton.

Downton, a native of California, has been on thefaculty of the University of Colorado's Departmentof Sociology since 1969. "While I haveexperimented with various artistic media as a hobbyfor years," says Downton, "I only became seriouslyinvolved in art about two and a half years ago whenI began to work with a batik method." Batikclassically involves applying wax to cloth to formdesigns and then dipping the cloth in dye. Ratherthan dipping the entire cloth in dye, however,Downton paints only specific areas of the clothwith each dye.

Downton received his Ph.D. in political sciencefrom the University of California at Berkeley.

WATCH OUT FOR BATTERY ACID

Some recent accidents with the handling of acidbatteries at the University of Colorado (CU) haveprompted their director of environmental health andsafety to warn CU staff about injuries from acid onthe skin or in the eyes. Protection against suchinjury is provided in part by goggles and faceshields. NCAR safety officer, Blair Smallwood,would like to remind staff members to take suchprecautions, and to contact him about protectiveitems available.
