Uof AuqcIcg 3'inu SUIT: KDOC-TV, EXECUTIVES NAMED SPECIAL ADVERTISING SUPPLEMENT 12 Part VI Thursday, May IS, 1W6 Mix adventure with romance in Arizona vestigated and found to be without substance. At one time Mike jokingly said he does his own ratings, and in fact he has always done his own ratings. When we looked into that about three years ago, we found it to be baseless at that stage." Commenting on the ratings issue, Volpe said: "I estimate the ratings. We don't quote any source but our own. Ford's complaint also includes a copy of a letter she wrote to Boone in 1984 alleging that on two occasions Channel 56 "Hot Seat" host Wally George told her "that if I ever made things uncomfortable for Mike Volpe by discussing certain personal or professional issues which did not reflect well on him, that I would be fired." Reached at the station, George responded, "That, I can absolutely and totally deny.

I am not familiar with any of the things she is saying. To my knowledge they are com pletely and totally false." Volpe is further alleged to have improperly directed advertising accounts to another KDOC sales employee, Peri Corso, described in all three complaints as Volpe's girlfriend. Ford, contacted Wednesday at her home in Irvine, declined comment on the suit. "I've been told not to say anything at this time," she said. Other lawsuits were brought against the station and Volpe by former salesman Steve Conobre, who was fired in 1984, and by former sales manager John Funk, fired in 1985.

Both suits are still in litigation. In addition, a former model who worked during a KDOC telethon filed a suit in 1983 charging Volpe and the station with sexual harassment. That suit was settled out of court. KDOC went on the air Oct. 1, 1982.

Continued from Page 1 er Thomas Sheridan, also named as a defendant, said he had not been notified of Ford's suit. "I have no official comment until I see the lawsuit." Other defendants named in Ford's suit are the Golden Orange Broadcasting which owns KDOC, Volpe and several Golden Orange board members and owners. Singer Pat Boone, president of Golden Orange Broadcasting and one of the founders of the station, was not named as a defendant. At the heart of the suit's fraud complaint is Ford's charge that Volpe instructed KDOC's sales staff "to give false and misleading information to prospective sponsors about viewer 'ratings' that is, false and unsubstantiated facts and figures about the number of persons and households that watched Channel 56 at various times and days. Ford claims that Volpe told the sales staff that if prospective sponsors asked about the source of the ratings, they were to say the numbers came from "ARB." Those initials are commonly used in the television and radio industry to refer to Arbitron Ratings Co.

(To use Arbitron's figures in sales presentations, a station must subscribe to the ratings service, an Arbitron spokeswoman said. KDOC has never been an Arbitron subscriber. But Ford charges that 'ARB' in this case was meant to refer to Anaheim Research Bureau," which Ford said was "a fictitious name created by Volpe for a non-existent organization." Ford states that she never referred to "ARB" or Anaheim Research Bureau in her sales presentations. KDOC attorney Sheridan said: "We've heard those accusations before. The accusations were in Arizona.

Skiing, sailing, windsurfing and boating are some of the pleasurable pastimes enjoyed. Wining, dining and browsing are an integral part of any Arizona vacation. The many small towns in the state have a special blend of Indian, Mexican and Anglo cultures coexisting with the remnants of the Old West. Each spring, Tucson hosts a living tribute to the past and these cultures with the Tucson Festival, a series of exhibits, parades, fiestas, fairs and performances. The mountain regions of Arizona, with their verdant forests of ponderosa pines, soaring red rocks and cool, crisp air, provide another source of enjoyment for vacationers.

One of the most popular spots in Arizona is the town of Sedo-na. Cradled at the entrance of Oak Creek Canyon, and rucked under towering red sandstone cliffs, Sedona is a haven for artists and nature lovers. Numerous boutiques, galleries and craftsmen's shops display local works as well as art from around the country. The arts and crafts center of Tlaque-paque, with its sycamore-filled courtyard and flower-lined paths, provides a full day of browsing, buying and dining in the Spanish-style specialty shops and restaurants. Sedona can be a one-day trip from Phoenix, a stopover en-route to Flagstaff or a central point of a week's honeymoon in the heart of Arizona.

Along the forest-lined roads, there are remnants of the once-thriving boom towns. These ghost towns are all that remain of the glorious days of gold and silver mining. One especially picturesque ghost town is Jerome, perched on the steep slopes of Mingus Please Turn to Page 14 MUSEUM ANNOUNCES PROMOTIONS Vacationers can find adven ture and romance in the desert, forests and mountains of Arizona, while enjoying stays at greatly reduced rates at most hotels, motels and resorts from late May through mid-September. For many tourists, exploring the magic of the desert is an awarding adventure. There are clear water springs to enjoy, beautiful flora and fauna to see, and ancient Indian ruins and artifacts to discover.

The desert resorts, several with Mobil five-star ratings, generally combine an informal relaxed atmosphere with such luxurious amenities as private patios with individual hot spas. Among the activities available are tennis, swimming and golf. Golf courses are found at many resorts, and there are more than 80 courses around the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Clouds make infrequent appearances and rain is a rarity, so it is easy to enjoy year-round sunshine and outdoor activity. For a sightseeing alternative, there are opportunities for equestrian adventures.

The Western-style towns of Carefree and Wickenburg have several stables to aid an escape. Pack a picnic for the day, and linger on to watch the sunset from one of the many vistas. As evening approaches, the ancient long-armed saguaro cacti are silhouetted against mountains as the sun splashes against the horizon with colors of red, gold and purple. This is the great outdoors and the living is easy. Cookouts, bonfires and hikes fill the days.

There are cowboys on the guest ranches who will entertain, cook for and pamper their guests in Western style. Another trip to consider is a visit to one of the many lakes in SIERBAWARIZQNA In Sierra Vista, you will find more time and space than most places. Whether you are testing your physical skills in the heights and solitude of the majestic Huachuca Mountains and its beautiful canyons, admiring the blue skies and enjoying the warm sunshine, or taking a scenic drive many of life's answers will come a little easier. "Lifestyle" has many different meanings, but increasingly it means a return to simpler things, and being comfortable with your surroundings. That's the way we want you to be when you visit Sierra Vista.

Doing so comes naturally and will enhance your vacation. Come visit us! We will do our best to make your stay a happy one. See Arizona, it's in Sierra Vista!
