Cherry Point Holds Aviation Element Exercise CHERRY POINT— Elements of the 2d Marine Aircraft Wing will participate in a five day training exercise along the North Carolina coast, February 25-29. The purpose of Aviation Element Exercise 1-80 (AVELEX 1 80) is to exercise all func tions of Marine aviation as a tactical entity in a simulated enemy high-threat en vironment. Utilizing low-level, high speed flights along pre designated routes, Marine pilots will seek to approach their training objectives wdetected and unhampered. Every effort is being made by Marine training coordinators o insure the tranquility of local residents. This year’s exercise ‘AVELEX 1-80”, wiU assist n training combat aircrews a fly below the effective racking range of most memy radar and to practice ’lying in airspace least vulnerable to enemy elec ronic warfare technology. In addition, pilots will test their skills to fly at speeds that will minimize the time afforded hostile ground observers to pass warnings. All these attack techniques are essential to the pilot’s sur vival and victory in combat. Training will emphasize the employment of all Wing elements as one entity in a tactical environment. The command and control of all units will be exercised in the same manner as it would be during actual combat. B.W. Lupton & Son Stonewall We Accept Food Stamps fresh Pork [PICNICS 691.

Pilots flying into these zones will be eliminated from the exercise, as exer ise umpires will designate them as being shot down. At the same time Leatherneck aircrews will attempt to avoid detection from ground base electronic defensive warfare positions and other defensive aircraft as they flew along the coast. Several sites have been chosen for the exercise. Marines will deploy to Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field, Bogue Field; Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field, Atlantic Field; Landing Zone Bluebird, CampLejeune; and remaining troops will operate from homebases in Beaufort, New River and Cherry Point. Aerial and ground elements participating in AVELEX l 80 will be as diverse as the units of the Wing itself. AVELEX 1-80 will be an all inclusive, Wing-side exercise, meshing aerial and ground units into one synchronized mechanism. A Marine Corps spokesman points out that Cherry Point Leathernecks need this type of training as essential to combat readiness required in the NATO high-threat en vironment, and especially so with today’s sophisticated enemy air defense systems. It must be taken into ac count that for all Marines to remain the best in the world, they must constantly be training and sharpening their skills. Only through intense training can the Corps maintain its status .as the nation’s number one “Force I'.fiP;; ‘ ■; The AMERICA'S FIRST INDUSTR' “TALE BAG” ( by Ross Boyer The North Carolina Fisheries Association’s Board of Directors met with Governor Hunt during his recent visit to Pamlico County. Several issues were discussed with the Governor, and the board members spoke on areas of special concern. Problems with channels and inlet stability were discussed. The need for safe transportation for our fishermen to and from the fishing grounds was stressed. Safe transportation is taken for granted by non seafaring citizens. Other members expressed their concern with the proposed Wanchese Seafood Industrial Park and foreign firms locating there and exploiting N. C. resources. The pollution problem in the Chowan Albemarle area was discussed. Pollution from industrial, agricultural, and municiple waste was also cited. The Governor men tioned the plan recently announced for clean up ac tion, and stressed that this was a top priority item. Soaring energy costs are another big concern, as are sensible approaches to pollution controls. The Governor expressed his appreciation to the views of the board members. The Association is spon soring Inlet Day at Oregon Inlet at the N. C. Marine Resource Center, Roanoke Island, on April 26 and 27! Let’s get together and show how important safe inlets are to us. Bring your boats and your families up to Wanchese for a weekend to celebrate the fishing industry. We’ll have a memorial service for fishermen who have died at our N. C. Inlets and a procession of fishing boats at Oregon Inlet. Other activities include a fish fry, seafood product display booths, guest speakers, and good fellowship. This is your chance to display your support for safe inlets for N. C. Fishermen. Your life depends.on it. Watch for more. information. Several import and public hearings are coming up. I’ll keep you informed on specific issues and dates. These hearings are our chance to make our voices heard. Call me if you need more in formation. Tuesday, February 26,1980 is the date for a N. C. Marine Fisheries Commission hearing at 7:30 p.m. at New Hanover County Courthouse, Superior Courtroom, Wilmington, N. C. Items to be commented on include taking clams from polluted areas, size limit and culling tolerence of out-of-state oysters, a proposed sea turtle sanctuary, ocean fishery by “Florida-type roller rig”, of Spanish and King mackeral, and non-commercial taking of shellfish. Of special in terest to the Menheden fishery are proposed restrictions of purse seine operations. Recent fish kills have caused the tourist in dustry to express concern about ill effects to the recreational use of the beaches. Written comment may be mailed to Marine Fisheries Commission, c/o Director, P.O. Box 7&, Morehead City, N.C. 28557. For you fishermen involved in King and Spanish Mackerel, a management plan is being developed by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council. Their decisions will be law for you. If you want a voice in this plan, you’d better start talking now. There will be three hearings in North Carolina: March 10, 7-10 p.m., Hatteras Civic Center, Hatteras, N.C.; March 11, 7 10 p.m., Carteret Technical Institute Auditorium, Morehead City, N.

The energy shortage is going to have a double effect on us in coastal North Carolina. Not only will we pay more at the gas pump, . but wf^rebgipg asked to open our ports and waters to oil refineries and oil exploration. The N. C. Department of Natural Resources and Community Development has recently received a grant of $555,000.00 and will use the funds for “assessing and planning for environmental and recreational losses oc curing from the location of and construction of energy facilities”. That means us, folks! Our waters are the ones they’re going to be assessing.' Let’s hope our voices will be heard too on Tuesday, March 4,7:30 p.m., Ground Floor Hearing Room, Archdale Building, Raleigh, N. C., and Tuesday, March 5, 7:30 p.m., Superior Court Courtroom, New Hanover County Courthouse, Wilmington, N. C. Public hearings are scheduled concerning issue of permits to construct or operate oil refining facilities. N.R.C.D. also notes the spread of algae blooms and low levels of dissolved oxygen in the Pamlico and Neuse Estuaries. We need to be aware of changes in these rivers and the sound and not let the situation get as bad as the Chowan-Albemarle area before we react. Other meetings include a March 20th “Fishing Vessel Fuel Efficiency Workshop”; Charleston, S. C. (Contact: Raymond J. Rhodes, S. C. Marine Resource Center, P.O. Box 12550, Charleston, S.C., 29412).
