Airport and Frontier cooperate in noise abatement program Adams Jorjolry GIFTS FOR ALL OCCASIONS The finest in Wyoming adr Jewelry Original oil paintings by Phil Adams Watches, Jewelry Glasses Repaired Across tin' strfnt. from the Wort Hotel A joint effort by the Jackson Hole Airport Board and Frontier Airlines was launched July 14 as an initial step in a program to reduce aircraft noise over Grand Teton National Park and Jackson Hole. MAY LIQUIDATION INSURANCE AGENCY In discussing the reason for this program, LaLonde said that while he personally does not feel that aircraft noises are any more offensive than speeding automobiles, snow machines, and other modes of transportation there are those who do object to them, and this is particularly so in Jackson Hole due to the presence of Grand Teton National Park. "There's no valid reason why aircraft approaching the airport have to come in at GOO feet or treetop level," he said. "We know of no instance in which Frontier has l)een this low since their pilots are highly skilled and responsible people and have a lot to lose if they should engage in such activity.

But we do receive an occasional report of some light aircraft 'buzzing' the area. We are presently launching a campaign to stop all low overflights, except for emergencies, and we'll have more to say on this in the near future," he continued. "Concerning noise," LaLonde said, "the bestway to reduce it with present generation aircraft is to put distance between the source of the noise and the person who hears it. Practically speaking, that means altitude. Thus the reason for the Jackson Hole Airport Board and Frontier Airlines agreement on voluntary altitude According to Airport Manager nob ULonde, a planning mooting was held between the Airport Board and Vern Carlson, a Frontier vice president, and Bill McChrystal, chief pilot of Frontier's Salt lake City Operations Office, on July 13.

At the meeting plans for immediate implementation of voluntary altitude restrictions on Frontier's aircraft were made. LaLonde said he had earlier contacted Frontier's Vice President for Local Service Marketing, Bill Wayne, on the matter and that Frontier responded in a highly cooperative manner. Chief Pilot Bill McChrystal was quoted as saying, "We want to do anything which is safely within our capability to minimize the amount of noise intrusion recognizing the unique character of the Plans call for the immediate implementation of a minimum altitude of 2,000 feet above ground level for Frontier's Convair 580's as they approach the airport under visual flight conditions from any direction. They will maintain that minimum altitude until it becomes necessary to initiate descent on a safe glide angle for landing. An area receiving special attention will be the Teton Park Headquarters complex at Moose which will be crossed at a minimum altitude of 1,500 feet above ground level.

daily, 7 days a week 1 Van Yancy, 19, of Spokane, received a broken neck as the result of a 20-foot fall from a practice rock in Moran canyon last Friday morning. He was transported by helicopter to St. John's Hospital early Saturday morning. Yancy was with a group of 19 members of the National Outdoor Leadership School who had come in from the west side oftheTetons to camp and practice mountaineering techniques at a location four miles up Moran canyon. He was a previous graduate of NOLS and was training to become an instructor.

At the top of the practice rock, Yancy was anchored by a piton (spike driven into the rock) and was practicing arresting a climber's fall by holding him with a rope. The impact of the practice fall pulled Yancy's anchor piton out of the rock, and he plunged to the base. Teno files for third Congressman Teno Roncaliohas filed for a third term in the U.S. House of Representatives with a pledge to continue experienced and effective representation of Wyoming's best interests in all phases of federal activity. In seeking the Democratic nomination for the House, Roncalio said, "I hope my record of service during two terms will merit a third.

I believe my four years on the House Interior Committee especially equips me to advance the state's best interests in the vast range of public land policy legislation, ranging from environmental integrity to resource development "In all of these areas, I will continue to work closely with state and local officials to insure that Wyoming's case is effectively represented in Roncalio was first elected to the House in 1964, where he served on the Interior and Veterans Affairs Committees and was named "Outstanding Freshman Congressman." Returned to Congress in 1970, he serves on the Interior and Public Works Committees It took over 12 hours for Yancy's companions to make their way down Moran canyon and reach help, bush wac king their way with no trail. A contract helicopter from Yellowstone Park, carrying Teton climbing ranger Bob Irvine arrived for the rescue early Saturday. The helicopter pilot, Dan Riech, commented that the pickup in the narrow canyon was about the most difficult he had ever encountered. He left Irvine at the accident site and transported Yancy directly to the hospital. Upon arrival at the hospital, Yancy's injury was diagnosed as a broken neck with accompanying paralysis.

There were no other serious injuries. This is the second tragedy to strike NOLS this year. On June 16, Gary Hall of Rawlins was drowned when his canoe overturned in the upper Green River. and is a member of the Democratic Steering Committee. He is a member of the Board of Trustees for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

He has served the democratic party as a county chairman, state committeeman and state chairman and in April resigned as national committeeman. Roncalio is opposed by Republican candidate, Al Hamburg, a house painter from Torrington.
