The Islander - Thursday 13^th May 1999

On Wednesday 5th May, Cub Scouts Alex Thomas, Nathan Fowler, Ryan Knipe, Graham Giles and Rico Williams were officially invested in to the 1st Ascension Island Cub Scout Pack and into the world-wide brotherhood of Scouts. The parents of all the Cubs were invited to the meeting at the Scouts Beach Hut and the evening was very well supported. Before the investiture ceremony Cub Scout Robert Biggar explained a little about Cub Scouting and after the Investitures the Cubs gave their parents a picture demonstration of some of the things they have enjoyed most about Cub Scouting since joining the Pack.

After the demonstration the Cubs showed off their camp fire cooking skills with a "Sausage Sizzle" and cooked their parents their supper with no harmful side effects reported! Great fun for the Cubs and their parents!

A Holiday Makers Farewell

Administrator's Forum: meeting of 4 May, 1999

The following matters were discussed:

AIMG meeting, 29th April: The Administrator briefed the Forum (minutes elsewhere in the Islander)
Millennium: An organising committee has met several times.
RMS Baggage: Mr Henry of AIS joined the meeting to explain the position. He showed the members a sample box of the maximum size permitted by AIS for personal possessions. He reminded them that heavy/large items should be forwarded as freight and be charged for accordingly. A problem was highlighted in that AIS, C&W, CSO and Government staff are allowed certain freight privileges whilst employees of other island companies are not. The meeting agreed that this anomaly is primarily a matter between those employers and employees who are disadvantaged.
As regards the baggage distribution system after the ship's arrival, some delay is inevitable because there are only four operatives to do the work and there could be anything up to 900 pieces to deal with. But many passengers thought the new system of placing baggage in alphabetical piles was an improvement over the previous free-for-all. It is only when the ship arrives in the later afternoon that baggage is not always distributed the same day.
Ship to shore transport: people have complained at the high cost (£27.50). The meeting heard that pressure from the Users has forced AIS to set its port charges realistically to cover the true cost of Marine Department operations. However the pricing system will change when "liner terms" are introduced (then the total cost of shipping goods shore to shore will be included in the cargo rate - rather than from shore to anchorage which is the present system).
Pension Scheme for Saints: no further news.
25-year old age limit for dependants: the Forum had asked if the present 25 year old limit for resident dependants could be extended or, preferably, done away with. The Administrator had consulted the users who felt that people at 25 years were adults and should make their own way. (But this ruling could change if the outcome of the Ascension Consultation Paper is a different form of government/land holding).
MV Ascension: The USAF's agreement in principle has been given although neither USAF nor CSR wish to be involved. AIS may act as the local clearing agents but the costs involved could make the operation prohibitively expensive. Further research is required.
The Islander: The Administrator reported that three editorial teams are now available - he was particularly delighted that one of them was of Saints.
Consultation Paper: Forum members were asked to encourage colleagues to send in their views. This is an opportunity for everyone to contribute towards the island's future.
Accommodation charges: at present residents who accommodate visitors receive £10.00 a day. This sum has not changed for several years. It was felt that it should be increased to reflect inflation. The Administrator will enquire.
Supplies for messes: mess managers had complained that the shop sometimes ran out of certain items soon after the ship had sailed. The Forum thought that better liaison between the shop and mess managers might improve things. But it is sometimes difficult to plan food requirements three months in advance (when the shop puts in its orders).
Gardening Club: with the departure of the farmer the members asked whether the gardening club could revert back to residents. The Administrator will enquire.
Food safety: there are concerns that vegetables treated with effy water may be unfit for human consumption. The Administrator will check but his view was that if the vegetables were washed thoroughly, they should be safe.
Beach huts: the meeting asked about the two deserted and decrepit beach huts at Beach Hut Beach, near Northeast Bay. Their previous owners had obviously deserted them. If anybody wanted to take them over they should apply to the Administrator.

The next Meeting of the Forum will be on Tuesday 15th June.

THE 50TH ASCENSION ISLAND MANAGEMENT GROUP MEETING: 29TH APRIL 1999

The following matters were discussed:

Conservation Management Plan: The final draft is now agreed and the Plan will probably be published in London at a special FCO environmental workshop on 29 June. The problem is lack of money to implement the Report's recommendations (two particularly expensive ones are the appointment of a full time conservation warden and the feral cat eradication project). But the Plan will be a useful blueprint for the future.

Island Postal Services: The RAF's generous offer permitting parcel mail to be sent free on the northbound Tristar cannot start until the security x-ray machine on order arrives. This will be in 3-4 months.

Chapel of Rest: the portacabin donated by CSR was put on site on 30th April. The RAF has asked its contractors for construction materials; Merlin will supply some electrical goods and C&W (£3,000), AIS (£1,500) and the government (£5,000) have pledged monetary contributions.

No-go areas: the RAF is preparing the map showing all no-go areas. It should be ready within the next 2/3 months. RE surveyors will visit in July to confirm the accuracy of the map.

Shop: A list of "essential" items which the shop manager hopes will never run out will be published shortly.

Ascension Day Fair (ADF): Preparations are well under way. Over £2,000 in donations have been given so far and the RAF has generously donated an indulgence ticket, ASI-BZZ-ASI, as one of the star prizes for the raffle

English Bay Jetty: the Eve Construction team has returned to finish work on the jetty. The public
is advised to keep clear during building operations.

Annual Board of Survey: the Administrator thanked all those who had assisted.

MV Ascension: the Captain has offered to carry cargo between the US and Ascension. But neither the USAF nor CSR will be involved. The ordering of goods and clearance from the ship will be for the customer to arrange. AIS will talk to the Captain during the ship's next visit in June to see if a system can be agreed and an agent appointed in the US.

Visitors' insurance: all visitors to Ascension must arrive with adequate insurance cover (i.e. not buy a policy after they have arrived).

Airbridge bookings: the meeting asked the RAF to release details about seat availability on specified flights. For some reason this information is no longer released to enquirers.

Ascension Island Consulatation Paper: the Administrator stressed the importance of this document. He hoped that there would be a good response from islanders. The public's input is essential. He also repeated that no decisions to change the present system had yet been taken.

Georgetown Abattoir: AIS is concerned that the abattoir does not meet current hygiene standards. A public health officer will visit to inspect it and recommend the remedial works necessary. It is feared that these could be prohibitively expensive for an installation that is not used much. If this is so, the abattoir will be closed.

Green Mountain Farm: Mr Henry had written to the Board to repudiate his tenancy agreement as from 8 June. AIS will maintain the facilities until the farm's future has been decided.

Millennium Organising Committee: a committee has been formed with Mr Jenkins (AIS shop) in the chair and Miss Penny Peters (Merlin) as secretary. The committee would like to receive suggestions from residents for ways of celebrating the event.

Organisation reports:

Merlin: The next fuel oil supply tanker will visit in July.
The Dew Pond Run on 18 April, sponsored by Merlin, had been a success but the turnout (36) was a trifle disappointing.

USAF: For safety reasons, spectators may no longer watch aircraft from the side of the runway (where the old control tower used to be). A barrier had been placed across the road to stop entry.

RAF: A RAF 5-person brass band to visit from 21-29 May. It will support ADF activities and other events.
The cable work linking Travellers to the airhead is continuing.
Work on strengthening the oil pipeline crossovers between the POL facility and the US Base will start soon.

AIS: Mrs Angela Robinson has been appointed as procurement clerk and Mr Alan Hudson appointed as the new ISO6000 project manager.
Staff appraisals will start in September once the necessary training is completed.
Six new laser cars will arrive shortly for hiring out. Cost £20 a day.
GCSE exams start in June. The school sports will be in mid-June
The AIS guest house is doing excellent business.

Gov't: The USNS Henson a research and survey ship visited Ascension on 30 April
Professor Armstrong and Dr Read will visit from 25-29 May to undertake the fiscal study mentioned in the Ascension Consultation document. They hope to meet a wide selection of islanders
The Administrator is in touch with Portsmouth Dockyard about the possibility of a replacement for the top half of the Admiralty mast which was removed four years ago because it was riddled with white ants.

The next AIMG meeting will be on Thursday 10th June. Please let me (tel: 6311) or your senior manager know if there is any topic you would like to be discussed.

Father Keith Writes:

PARISH CHURCH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN.  ASCENSION ISLAND (Diocese of St. Helena) Parish Priest: Fr. Keith James - 6431 Church Warden: Marvyn Isaacs Church Warden: Cheryl Anthony

Dear Friends,

First my thanks to Donald Arms and the staff at Two Boats Club, together with the Get Togethers Orchestra and Gerwyn for an excellent Dinner Dance in aid of the ADF, and also to the Golf Club for holding a tournament to raise bottles for the stall. Thanks to Ceddy Henry and all those who laid a 'mile' of coins outside the Georgetown Shop last Saturday morning which added £135 to ADF funds, and individuals who during the past week have made further offers of help.

It was a great pleasure last Friday to hold a service of Admission for our Church wardens and members of the church council, followed by Holy Communion. Each year the congregation has the chance to elect members onto the council, and I am pleased that not only has the number of councillors increased but they represent a wide range of Churches; Anglican, Methodists and Baptists among them. St. Mary's is a Church for everybody, and all are very welcome at any time. Although we are part of the Church of the Province of Southern Africa and our services are Anglican they are easy to follow and quite relaxed.

The Church Council has set the following fees for the coming year:
Weddings, £10; Funerals and Memorial Services £10; Licence to record a video at a Wedding, £10, at a Baptism, £5; There is no fee for a Baptism. The fee for an organist is £10.
In the UK the Wedding fee is £135, Memorials £61 and a Funeral £172 - so there are some advantages to living on Ascension Island after all!!

God Bless You and Keep You,
Fr Keith & Ginny.

PRIVATE CONTAINERS - ASCENSION TO ST. HELENA

Recently there were four containers shipped from Ascension to St. Helena by private individuals, a further four is due to arrive this weekend.
We are not concerned about private individuals moving their goods/belongings from Ascension to St. Helena by this method, what causes concern for us is the fact that we could over a period of time end with a considerable number of containers left on the wharf. As you are no doubt aware, space is very limited on our wharf especially with merchant's cargo containers, which are in transhipment.
I am writing to seek the assistance of the administrators office and would appreciate help in advising companies that any of their employees who wish to ship their goods/belongings to St. Helena by private container should consider the following:-

Private containers cannot be left on the wharf unless the owner has made arrangements for it to be reshipped out of St. Helena.
Private containers that are not going to be reshipped will be charged the additional wharfage after 14 days which is calculated from the date of arrival - the owner will still be required to move it from the wharf.
The transportation of containers to the outlying areas in St. Helena can be difficult - Solomon's will use their container trailer, but only to the HTH area.
For safety reasons, the Police will not allow the use of a private Hiab - the normal 20ft container overhangs the Vehicle.

Many thanks,
Yours Sincerely,

C E Cranfield
Senior Customs Officer

SCHOOL PAGE
From the Headteacher - Mrs Betty Joshua

Hello everyone

Rain interrupts school term start!!
Yes, teachers and children came back after a 10 day holiday break but, unfortunately, they did not stay long! Last Tuesday's return for the children saw a hasty retreat for the afternoon when the heavens opened during the lunch break and the rain came a-tumbling down!! Areas of the school were heavily under water, no-one could be heard as the rain thundered on the rooftops and for a while it was bedlam! However, after a lot of hustle and bustle, instructions, numerous messages via telephone, etc. the children were sent home, parents informed and thankfully the torrents ceased and work continued on the clean-up. The school would like to thank all those people who came to their assistance at the time and for cleaning up the surroundings, etc. the following day. The decision to keep the school closed for the next day was taken from the safety aspect and we had been informed by the Met. Station that the Island could possibly expect up to six hours of heavy downpours, so it was all very uncertain. However, the clean-up on the Wednesday was very necessary and took the whole day which could not be done with a school full of children. And now it's a case of.... after the rain the sun.................. and we're back to basics!

SATs

The term started with the annual Standard Assessment Tasks (SATs) for Year 9 during the first week (they were actually sitting a paper in the middle of the rainstorm and to the sounds of heavy equipment during the clean-up start - poor things!). This week Year 6 have their heads down and their SATs will run through to Friday. Year 2's will be spread over the month of May as theirs takes on a more flexible approach. So for some of our pupils it is a taxing period, for a while, whilst the rest of the school continues in the normal way.

Welcome to new pupils.

We have had the pleasure of welcoming to our school two new permanent pupils, Kelly and Rico Clingham, who have come to Ascension with their parents, Seargent and Mrs Clingham of the St. Helena Police Force, and Danielle Williams who is here on holiday with her Mum Mavis. All three have joined the Primary School. We are delighted, also, to have four new nursery pupils joining us for the afternoon sessions and they are: Luke Yon, Angus Biggar, David Joshua and Ellie Reade. They will, no doubt remember their first time with us as , no sooner had they arrived last Tuesday, they were whisked away into the shelter of a room, different to the one that they had visited during the holidays, and then returned home. Oh dear, what a start!! We also welcomed back all those who had been on holiday either to the UK or St. Helena over the past few weeks.

Ascension Day holiday.

And another interruption to term is a public holiday on Thurday, 13 May, because it's Ascension Day but, that one is most welcome, and it should certainly not cause us any bother......unless it chooses to rain again!!

And I think that's it from me this time. Next week's page will be presented by Year 9, so we'll look forward to their news.

Bye for now....

NEWS FROM ASCENSION AUXILIARY AIRFIELD By Maj Jeff Lowdermilk

In the early hours of May 5th, a Delta III, carrying an Orion III communications satellite, was launched from Cape Canaveral. This was the second flight of the Delta III, and it failed to deliver the satellite into the intended orbit. Boeing engineers suspect the second scheduled firing of the rocket's second stage may not have occurred. While this is an unfortunate event, telemetry data from Ascension Auxiliary Airfield will likely be a very key piece of data in the investigation. Currently, engineers are working to perform maneuvers designed to raise the orbit of the satellite.

It has been a busy week for reviewing construction designs. Last week, we reviewed a project to construct two additional tennis courts, a shelter for equipment at the photovoltaic site, and improvements to Catherine Point. Additionally, a modification team came back to the island after a break to finish the upgrade to our high frequency radio equipment. This modification will replace equipment which is very old and manpower intensive. As a matter of fact, one of our old transmitters was fielded in 1958.

In the next few weeks, we will begin striping some of the highways we maintain on the island. Once this crew is in place, please be cautious and slow down in their work area. The crew will be wearing safety vests which should be very visible to the prudent driver.

A team is on the base installing a Two-Way Satellite Time Transfer System. This system will link our range timing equipment with the US Naval Observatory in Washington DC. Timing is critical to our operations as it gives us the information we need to accurately track launches and space objects.

Lastly, our dormitory modification is progressing very well. Dormitory 8 should be completed around the end of June. Once this is compete, occupants of dormitory 7 will move to dormitory 8 to enable the construction crew to begin the upgrade to dormitory 7. Additionally, work should begin on the upgrade of dormitory 3 in June. This two-year project will upgrade five dormitories on the base (dormitories 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8). In addition to this project, we will have a subcontractor on island soon to install a protective coating to dormitories 15, 16, and 17.

The Met Office Weather Report

Statistics for the week ending Sunday 2^nd May 1999.

ASCENSION SEA SWELL FORECAST ( based on data available on Monday afternoon) :West to northwesterly around 1.5m.

Sea temperature around Ascension Island : 28 C

ASCENSION ISLAND: Tuesday was a most "interesting" day with heavy rain in the late morning in a band from Green Mountain to Georgetown and virtually all of the week's rainfall fell within an hour or so. Debris was washed onto the roads and caused the closure of Old Mountain Road near Two Boats, where the school was flooded. Apart from that the week was quiet on the weather front with sunny periods and Wednesday was the warmest day.

ST HELENA: Not received this week.

U.K: After a couple of dry days at the start of the week with temperatures over 20C in parts of Southern England on Monday, a series of rainbands came in from the southwest to give many areas a wet day on Friday. Temperatures fell back to normal after a promising start to the week.

FALKLAND ISLANDS: Fairly mild at the start of the week but a low pressure system brought sleet by Wednesday and there were a few cold days with frost at night but it became warmer again on Sunday as the wind turned from the south into the west.

METCHAT ************************ “THE WIDEAWAKE TERNS” ************************ METCHAT ************************ “THE WIDEAWAKE TERNS” ************************

The southwest corner of the island is mainly occupied by the Wideawake Fairs or tern colonies but there are other things to see as well and over the next few weeks I hope to describe some of these to you and to show that it really is worth getting out into this area. There will be a map later to show how to get to all the places described. Firstly though, we will start with the terns.

To get to the area take the main road through Airhead, bending left and then right at the far end to go between Cotar Hill and South Gannet Hill. The road is clearly marked but it then goes on up South Gannet Hill and we must veer off to the right and go past a large dumping ground on the left with a " Supply Depot" as marked on the Ordnance Survey map on the right. The road now becomes very bumpy and dusty before petering out as you come up to a chain barrier and a low hill of rubble. You are obviously not meant to go past this point so please don't try, even if you have an off road vehicle, as you would cause severe disruption to the birds. Walk now towards the flow of tumbled lava you can see ahead and you will soon start to hear the cries of the birds in the distance, and one or two on sentry duty will already be starting to come over you to see what is going on and to assess if you represent any danger. Continue along the path down the side of the lava flow towards Mars Bay, keeping close in by the dark rugged 25-foot cliffs and you will soon see the nesting birds on your right.

The Wideawake or Sooty Tern (Sterna fuscata) is Ascension Island's best known bird and has given the island its often-used nickname and also the name of the airfield. The birds breed on the island once every 9.6 months, the time varies a little from year to year but that is the average. The main breeding grounds are at Mars Bay Fair and in the large area between Shelly Beach and South Red Crater, known as the Water's Edge Fair. This area is largely inaccessible, and a good thing too, as the birds are very easily disturbed and a large proportion of the 400,000 or so birds which breed each year are to be found in that region. However the Mars Bay area is easily reached and we can view a reasonable population of the birds without causing too much disturbance.

At the beginning of the breeding cycle, which this year was early in April, the birds start to come in from the ocean a few at a time to start with and fly around the area as if doing a reconnaissance of the island. It has been said that they need a night with a full moon to begin occupying the fairs, though nobody seems to have proved this, or even found a reason for it, though it may be that they can recognise their familiar guano-covered rocks more easily by the light of the moon. The ones that arrive early get the best nesting sites near to the sea, which makes feeding the young that much more efficient, the later, more immature and weaker birds having to take the nesting sites further inland. This is an example of natural selection at work as the offspring of the stronger birds get a better chance of survival if food becomes scarce.

One egg only is laid on the bare rocks with no preparatory work and little hint of a nest but the eggs are well-marked to give good camouflage. As might be expected there is a high mortality rate. Many birds are so exhausted when they reach the island that they fall easy prey to the wild cats, though these are now under control and the amount of predation is small when you consider the number of birds that there are around. Even so, be prepared to see a fair number of dead bodies in the area of the fair. After about six weeks brooding on the bare rocks the chicks hatch and these dark fluffy balls can be seen all over the place, often just poking out from between a pair of parental feet. Gradually the colony becomes more and more noisy and this is the time you should be especially careful not to cause any disturbance because frigate birds will now be taking an interest in the colony and will swoop down to take any chicks left unguarded for a moment. However I was assured by John Hughes of the Army Ornithological Society last year that predation by frigates was minimal and as I sat there all one afternoon only two young Wideawakes were taken out of the Mars Bay Fair in spite of almost continual harrassment.

Eventually the young birds grow their flight feathers and will be seen stretching and flapping their wings a good deal prior to taking the first flight. They can still be recognised at this stage by their dark brown plumage, there is still no white on them at all and it will be many months yet before they acquire the smart adult clothing, whilst they are at sea in fact. Now it is a matter of building up strength ready for the long time to be spent at sea, even the young birds leave the island and if they are not strong enough they will not survive for very long. Soon after this they will all be gone and the area will clear fairly quickly once they start to move out. You will visit the Fair one day (in late August this year) to be greeted by an eerie silence. There will be lots of dead bodies and broken eggs around and the smell of guano will linger heavily but there will be no more cheery "wide-awake" calls, no more rumbling warnings from the birds sitting on the eggs and if you have been watching them through the breeding season you will feel that a large group of friends has deserted you - but they will be back in about five months time. I'll be back next week, take care until then,

Cestrian.

Hash Trash
Hash No.748 - From NASA car park

We all assembled at the start, the rumour mill had got the idea this was to be a hard trail. The briefing that followed confirmed our worst fears!!! THM caused alarm when he announce that the big boys should ensure they stay at the back of the pack on the "assent" just in-case they might be needed to catch falling hashers. The mind boggles!!

On On was called and we were off, like headless chickens weaving in and out. THM and Nocturnal Emission were determined that this trail wasn't to follow any established path, so we meandered on and off the trail not knowing whether it was to take us to Weather Post or White Horse.

Coffee Mate led us out but soon lost the trail as it dropped down into a slippery gully. I found myself in with a chance of becoming an FRB so I followed only to loose the trail along with all the other front runners. By the time we reached the first circle check we had already lost Liz and Anita who apparently took one look at the options (Weather Post or White Horse) and decided to leg-it back to the beer and sandwiches (they were in for a surprise as the sandwiches were elsewhere!!).

Okay, it's generally understood that the hash crowd is a mixed ability bunch. Some of us city folk aren't used to climbing mountains, but we all try to take thing as they come, especially on the trail (I'd better stop this before I make myself sick!!). Anyway, jaws dropped as we were told to fan out and climb up, "be careful to avoid falling rocks and try to catch any bodies that fall!!!!" My aspirations of becoming an FRB soon ended as the assent wore me down. After an eternity of climbing (I think I know what hell is going to be like) we arrived at a ridge some way up Weather Post. From here we could see Liz and Anita heading for the sandwiches! Alas they were to become very disappointed.

The On On took us in the direction of Scout Camp and some more hills (but none as bad as that which we had just climbed). After a couple more bar checks, where Coffee Mate managed to chase all the false trails and still remain out front, we gathered high above Cricket Valley and waited for the KnC to arrive. Surely we weren't going to run all the way back to NASA!! On On was called and we headed off to the Collination building then a nice run back to the dirt track leading to Scout Camp and a pleasant surprise, THM had left a couple of vehicles in a lay-by near to Scout Camp. Loads of beer and sandwiches vanished in a flash! Nocturnal Emission was christened and in the blink-of-an-eye she was off down the track with crazy water-spouting hashers in hot pursuit. Not a bad turn-of-speed for someone who had run the trail twice in the same day!! She managed to avoid the shower and came back when sanity had returned to the pack.

Thank you The Human Mattress and Nocturnal Emission for a great hash and my personal favourite.....egg mayonnaise sandwiches.
HASH Awards: go to Liz and Anita for the shortest hash ever.
This week's HASHERS - Small Thing, The Fugitive, Sniffy, Near Miss, Roly Poly, Gilligan, Xena, The Human Mattress, Stealth, New Knees, Lance-a-Little, Coffee Mate, Thunderthighs, Fit Guy, Wannabe, Lollipop, Shirley Temple, Hong Kong Phoey, Liz, Nocturnal Emission, Anita, Lonnie.
Next week's HASH: Sniffy and Dozy Ha'P'orth, NASA car park (same place as last week).
