President’s corner – WELL HELLO, THE CRASH OF THE CENTURY AWARD WILL HAVE TO BE CANCELED BECAUSE I WONT BE THERE TO ACCEPT IT, AND YOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN,, NEW RULES.. VERY SCARY INCIDENT AT THE AIR SHOW.. BUT WE MADE THE NEWS PAPER AND ALL THE
LOCAL RADIO STATIONS. I ASKED GOD WHY, AND ALSO THANKED HIM THAT NO WON GOT
HURT AND NO PROPERTY DAMAGE ACCRUED, FOR ASKING GOD WHY ME, AND WHY NOW. HE
HASN'T GOTTEN BACK TO ME YET BUT IM SURE HE'S A BUSY MAN. SO HE SENT A
MESSENGER FROM THE FLIGHT MUSEUM MIKE GEDDRY SR. WHO IS ON THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS, AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE AIR SHOW, APPARENTLY TWO AIR CRAFT WERE
IN OUR AIR SPACE AT THE TIME OF OUR FLIGHT, AND BY TRIGGERING THEIR MIKES OR
TALKING TO THE TOWER WE WERE OVER RUN ON OUR FREQUENCY. HE FULLY IS AWARE OF
THIS PROBLEM, AND I CAN NOT DISPUTE HIS FINDINGS, HE HAS CONTACTED THE
SANTA MARIA TIMES FOR A RETRENCHMENT ,TO THE CAUSE OF THE LOST AIR CRAFT, OK
ENOUGH.. TO DAY AUGUST 29TH AT 2PM WITH A WITNESS, LESS HOLLAND. WE MET
WITH JOHN ZHAO UTILITIES ENGINEER HEAD MAN AT THE DUMP SITE .. AND ALEXANDER
POSADA DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT,, AND LOOKED AT OUR NEW
FLYING SITE...IT IS WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR ITS LARGE ITS PERFECT
ITS MORE THAN WE ASKED FOR. RIGHT NOW WE DO HAVE A HAND SHAKE AGREEMENT FOR
THE LOCATION, ALL OF THE REQUESTS BY THE RECREATION DEPT SO FAR HAVE BEEN
MET AND THEY WILL FILE IT TO THE CITY, WE WILL HAVE AN INITIAL LEASE FOR 25
YEARS, WITH TRI VALLEY R/C MODELERS IN FULL CONTROL OF THE SITE. MR. HOLLAND
CAN FILL IN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AT THE NEXT MEETING. HOPEFULLY
WE PLAN ON BREAKING GROUND THE FIRST PART OF OCTOBER, YES THIS YEAR.
UNFORTUNATELY I WONT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE SEPT MEETING SOME THING ABOUT NOT
SPENDING ENOUGH TIME WITH MY WIFE DURING THE SUMMER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S
TALKING ABOUT, SO HAVE FUN BE SAFE BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN , LARRY SCHLAGEL
