Points scored in all events count toward the National High Points Championship. To qualify for competition on the two mile Columbia River race course, a boat must record one lap at a minimum qualifying speed of 130 mph. The qualification procedure was revamped for the 1991 season and will be used again for 1993. National high points are awarded on the basis of qualifying speeds. The procedure includes: A qualification draw shall be held determining the order boats will qualify. Each boat will take one complete warm up lap. After the lap, each boat is given the green flag to signify the start of the first qualification lap. At the end of the first qualification lap, each boat is given a white flag signalling the start of the second and last qualification lap. At the end of the second lap, each boat will be given a checkered flag to signify the he Dash for Cash, sponsored again this year by Robert Young & Associates, is slated for Saturday, July 24, at 4 p.m. h. “Last year, when the Water Follies approached me about sponsoring this new event, I was more than happy to do it,” says Robert Young. The dash is a URC sanctioned three-lap race, including the three fastest qualifiers for the Budweiser Columbia Cup, running deck-to-deck for $10,000 in prize money. “Il’s at the end of the qualifying day on Saturday and it’s a great leaser for what’s in store on Sunday,” says Young. end of the qualification run. Boats must return immediately to the pit area. The next boat has five minutes from the time the previous boat takes the checkered flag to enter the course under power and begin its qualification runs. The fastest lap recorded during qualifying will be the official qualification speed for that day. Time remaining during the qualification period after all boats have taken their turn, can be used for testing. After completion of the qualification periods, points will be awarded in order of fastest qualifying speed placed in the “A” flight. Points for qualifying include: first place, 40 points; second place, 30 points; third place, 23 points; fourth, 17 points; fifth. 13 points and sixth place, 10 points. The field of qualified boats will be split into two preliminary sections or “flights”, according to qualifying speed. The “A" flight consists of the fastest qualifiers and flight *’B“ consists of the remaining boats. Format changes deal with a return of the draw for all heats and full points as well. The draw will pertain to all heats. All boats will be drawn into heals, but lane choice still belongs to the boat that runs fastest. Lane choice for the first heat belongs to the fastest qualifiers. After that, lane choice belongs to the boat that went fastest in the previous heat. Winning boat gets 400 points, second gets 300 and so on.

TRI-CITIES Bu^eiso]mj| The Miss Budweiser crew works together to get boat back in shape as quickly as possible. The shop's design facility is completely state-of-the-art and includes a 34-foot long drafting table that allows the hydroplane to be drawn to life-size. To assist production, a computer aided design (CAD) system with three-dimensional imaging is used to provide accurate replication of the Miss Budweiser. Budweiser, such as sponsors and the horizontal stabilizer. “The equipment we have at the Miss Budweiser boat shop allows us to gather an abundance of information about the potential performance of our boats,” says crew chief and team manager Ron Brown. “The combination of what we learn in the shop and the application of that data allows us to increase speeds while also emphasizing safety.” The CAD system also enables the team to completely manufacture their own propellers, thereby maintaining quality control. The crew can directly feed precise propeller specs into a computer numeri cally controlled (CNC) milling machine, which in turn cuts the props from a forge of steel. A propeller can be produced at the shop from design to manufacture within 40 hours. A 2,500 square-foot climate-controlled room is dedicated for the assembly of the turbine engines and gearboxes. The shop’s computerized dynometer. which analyzes the turbine engines, has proven to be the number one factor in giving the Miss Budweiser the highest horsepower engines available on the circuit. High-Tedi Hydro he winning tradition carried on by the Miss Budweiser Racing Team over the years is a testament to the hard work of the Miss Budweiser crew and the evolution of one very important tangible asset: the Miss Budweiser boat shop. Located in Tukwila. Wash., the 22.000 square-foot shop was built in March of 1990. and every component of the Miss Budweiser is designed and manufactured at the boat shop. The home of many hydroplane innova tions. including the enclosed cockpit, the Miss Budweiser boat shop contains the most sophisticated and technologically advanced equipment available today. Without ques tion. the shop is the most elaborate in hydroplane racing, if not in all boat racing. The shop also houses a blueprint machine that allows for the reproduction of hand drawings when necessary, as well as a sophisticated printer called a plotter that works with the CAD system to print out components in full scale. Additionally, a 40- foot long oven is used during production to cure resin-based composite parts of the Miss ^mrrnna The Miss Budweiser boat shop is kept extremely neat. Everything is in order, including the Lycoming turbine en gines. io 11 Home to Hydroplane Innovations A member of the Miss Budweiser crew attends to the Chinook Helicopter turbine engine. pursuit of excellence that the Miss Budweiser crew strives for,” says Brown. “If you were looking for what defines the Miss Budweiser, the crew and their attitude, one visit to this shop would speak volumes.” High tech equipment such as the computerized dynometer is the key to the Miss Budweiser's outstanding performance. LITTLE The Budweiser boat shop is no ordinary mechanics shop. There's no greasy tools laying around or oil spills on the floor. Everything has a place and everything is in its place. Miss Budweiser owner Bemie Little likes everything neat and orderly, he believes it's just good management and it projects a positive image. Crew chief Ron Brown agrees as it’s easier to find parts, tools and other gadgets. Just like in racing—the team pitches in to keep not only the boat running smoothly but also the shop. Even when the crew is on the road during the season, their job is easier, knowing the place of each tool or gadget. Just like Miss Budweiser’s place is in the water, every component associated with the boat has its place too. the crew enjoys testing on the Columbia River. Nothing is overlooked in the shop when it comes to the Miss Budweiser and winning. “This shop is indicative of the Whether it’s a control panel being built in the electrical room, a piece of hardware fabricated in the machine shop or arc welding of an exhaust pipe, anything can be built al the Miss Budweiser shop. That in itself provides a big edge. “We are very proud of the fact that we don’t have to go outside for one piece of equipment,” says owner Bernie Little. “In that way, we control the lime it lakes to gel parts, and more importantly, the quality of those parts.” The crew of the Miss Budweiser and the boat shop are a group of highly-trained men. Most of the group comes from the aviation industry, which helps them to understand the Chinook helicopter engines that power the boat and all have years of experience either with the Miss Budweiser or from other hydroplane teams. The sophistication of the equipment also allows the crew to develop measure ment tools capable of analyzing specific aspects and characteristics of the Miss Budweiser's performance. Many of these findings have led to modifications respon sible for record-breaking speeds. Through out the year, the Miss Budweiser and crew lest on the Columbia River for a number of reasons. The big reason is cooperation. The crew of the Miss Budweiser likes the fact that if need be, they can conduct a whole day of testing, unlike Lake Wash ington, where they restrict hydroplane testing to just three hours per day. Testing on an actual race course is important to the Budweiser team and buoys are allowed to mark off the course on the Columbia, and the short three-hour drive are other reasons Auto • Truck 1993 4 1 JULY 23-25 Blinds • Wallpaper 12 ESPN at Columbia Cup ’93 TRI-GTM xuniBia TRKITIES Budweiser!

The design idea came mainly from eyeing Seafair’s official barge. “We looked at Seattle’s barge and started thinking how could their design accommodate our needs,” Nagley said. “Though the new barge is a bit more narrow than the old, we think we can make do by staggering and organizing equipment.” During the boat races, the top level will be occupied by referees, URC officials and liming equipment. The lower levels will be reserved for camera crews, radio and media representatives. Nagley says one of the reasons the barge is of modular design is to allow the barge to be used for other community events. “If community groups would like to use just one level of the barge for staging events, it can be done. The barge is mobile, all that’s needed is a fiatbed truck.” The SI0,000 structure was built by Tri-City Fabricating of Kennewick, which also provided design service. Each of the sections weighs 4,200 pounds and will be lifted into place by cranes supplied by Neil F. Lampson Inc., who also provided engineering and inspection services along with storage of the barge when it’s not in use. The officials barge has come a long way...Race fans may remember the official tower was a river barge that was moored to shore in the middle of the two-mile race course in 1966. Back then, waves created by the race boats created problems for cameramen filming the race. This year marks the retirement of the 27 year old official barge. New to the Budweiser Columbia Cup is a three-level official’s lower constructed from prefabricated steel. The 30-foot high structure consists of three units, each 9 feet high, 8 feet wide and 40 feel long. It’s a bit more narrow than the old, but its modular design will allow for more “head room.” Jim Nagley, barge chairman says, “The new barge will be safer. Before, those who weren’t watching overhead, were injured. Now with the scaffolding gone, we won’t have those worries.” Gone also will be the exteneral guides which extended from the barge sides, “the new barge is a free standing unit. The people walking below the barge sometimes tripped over the wires extending from the sides,” Nagley says. ■Sv Get To Know The^H/lickey-D' Burger.

The area seeded is north of the park's main road and stretches from the irrigated lawn area on the park’s east end to just about even with the driving range of the park’s golf course. The project was started in mid-April and with the help of a great team of volunteers from Columbia Center Rotary, the Water Follies Association and the Kennewick Ward 15 Mormon Church group helping to lay and glue the irrigation pipe, the project ran smoothly. Also pertinent to the project was the Operating Engineers union apprentice group which helped on leveling the ground. Irrigation Specialists helped with the irrigation pipe and Washington Green contributed hydroseeding services at cost. Duane's Electric, Moon Security, K Kaiser and Neil F. Lampson, Inc., helped with other services. Other improvements to Columbia Park include the planting of birch trees imported from Holland and flowering cherry trees along the entrance of the park and the extension of irrigation lines to this area. Members of the Kennewick Kiwanis Club initiated the tree planting project. Kennewick Kiwanis and McCurley GEO each donated $1,000 for beautification of the park. Additional funds, labor and supplies for this part of the park project were received from IOOF Rebeccas Lodge, Pro-Cut, Hertz Rent A Car. Noel Price, and Kennewick Indus trial. Ray Poland & Sons Construction donated all the equipment and labor for excavation of the entrance project. otice anything different in Columbia Park? A closer look may be required now, but the difference will spring up soon. Thanks to a work force of volunteers who have donated countless hours, Columbia Park is a greener place. “These types of projects are a wave of the future,” says city manager Bob Kelly. “Civic organizations approaching the council with a particular type of project and funding asking for help from local governments. It shows these groups have community pride.” Kelly says the city wanted to seed the park, but getting the funds to do it would have taken years. “This type of partnership venture on projects saves on Ted tape’. There’s less than if the city was going to do it,” he says. Installation of irrigation and seeding over 15.5 acres along the Columbia riverfront was made possible by donations of $5,000 from the Water Follies Associa tion and $5,000 from the Kennel Club, Columbia Center Rotary Club, which donated $10,000 and help from the Kennewick City Council, which prom ised matching funds up to $25,000.

TRI-CITIES Unlike other parts of the country and even throughout the state of Washington, the Tri Cities is not caught in a recession. The cities are growing by leaps and bounds, strength ening the economic base. Two aspects drawing people to the Tri Cities include the area’s technology base and the quality of life. This area is highly educated and dedi cated to advancements in nuclear power, environmental cleanup and other fields of research. It’s remarkable that the Tri-Cities is home to over 150,000 people and yet the area doesn’t suffer from excess pollution, traffic congestion and high crime. The quality of life is second to none. Boat races were just three years old when in 1969, the Tri-Cities was recorded as the home of over 100,000 people. Recently, the state of Washington estimated that the population of Benton and Franklin counties was 157,700 as of April 1992. By December of the same year, the two-county area flourished with 159,200 people. By almost any measure, the robust economy of the Tri-Cities can be defined as a boom, but as John Lindsay, president of TRIDEC says, “It’s great what’s going on here in the Tri-Cities, but one thing we must watch for—frequently a bust follows a boom. People who have lived here 20-25 years know what’s happened in the past.” Lindsay, TRIDEC and local officials, are working hard to avoid a bust by planning ahead. “Hopefully, we can stabilize the economy so we are not subject to a bust,” he says. “We have to practice growth manage ment planning at the county and city levels. We need to plan for our future, but not in such a way to prevent our growth.” The Tri-Cities and surrounding areas need to evaluate the essentials needed for growth. “Highways, sewer systems, and other mainstays need to have our attention in order to facilitate our growth,” he says. “We also must look to commercialize facets of the workforce that are now private, such as Hanford’s laundry responsibilities.” Another facet that TRIDEC is working towards is focusing on corporations and industries that are not connected to Hanford. Ch’ omnia VXJP • Tri-Gly Boom By concentrating on firms not associated with Hanford, a stronger economy can be built that isn’t dependent on the contract which is in a two year extension. “The mid-80s was proof of the change in the government contract. By focusing on non-Hanford businesses, if the government contract ever does change hands, the cities and its residents won’t be hit as hard,” says Lindsay. “Sure there’ll be a state of transition, but it won’t be as disrupt ing.” TRIDEC has compiled a helpful handbook that reviews the areas growth in the past two years such as: Tri-Cities Housing Market With the influx of people rapidly moving into the Tri-City area, the housing market continues to boom. Housing sales in 1992 were 8 percent higher than 1991, reversing a decline from the peak of 1990. Average monthly home sales during the fourth quarter of 1992 were 145, a 14 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 1991. Home prices continue to rise with the average price in 1992 increasing by 19 percent over 1991. The prices in 1992 were $93,800 compared to an average price of $78,700 in 1991. Home building starts also marked an increase with 911 starts in 1992 verses 461 in 1991, that’s almost a 100 percent increase. Vacancy rates for apartments remain low. In December, 1992, Richland had the highest vacancy rate, which was only 3 percent. The December vacancy rate in both Kennewick and Pasco was a mere 1 percent. Between February 1992 and January 1993, apartment rents increased, reflecting the continued low vacancy rates. Nonresidential construction Nonresidential construction also boomed in the Tri-Cities during the past year, with more construction planned for 1993. Kennewick saw a number of major commercial projects, including the completion of a new Target retail store, two motels—the Silver Cloud Inn and Super 8 Motel—an Eagle Hardware outlet, a new office building for United Way, and several restaurants and smaller rental establish ments. Construction plans for 1993 include Wal-Mart, Tri-City Cancer Center and an addition to the Silver Cloud Inn, along with others. In Richland, commerical construction focused on office space. Battelle built three new office buildings in 1992 and 1993 will see a fourth. Airborne, an air-express firm, set up shop at the Richland airport along with a new church and several industrial facilities debuted in 1992. This year, a new golf course at Hom Rapids will be built in conjunction with a residential complex. Residential and commerical development of the Columbia Point area is going through the permitting stage and a factory outlet mall is also planned. Pasco construction includes several retail establishments and several industrial facilities, including a Burlington Northern refueling center, a refurbished facility for Federal Express, a motel and truck stop and several school-related projects. The Trade, Recreation, and Agriculture Center (TRAC), a multi-use exhibition facility is also planned in Pasco. 23 'O Hanford’s Golden Anniversary Downtown Richland, 1944—"Bedroom community" for employees operating the Hanford Works production plants located miles away on the sprawling desert site. Coal-fired plants such as the one at right provided heat to municipal buildings. The H-shaped building near the center was operations headquarters. The building to its left was the personnel office. Both were replaced in 1965 by the current Federal Building. Hie Spirit lives On In the spring of 1943, the few hundred residents of the tiny townships of Hanford and White Bluffs were suddenly displaced by a construction camp whose population swelled to more than 50,000 workers, dedicated to a top-secret wartime project occupying 640 square miles of Southeastern Washington desert. Concurrently, the federal government took over and converted the small village of Richland into a residential community that would accommodate the thousands of employees who would operate the Hanford facilities after they were built. The race against Germany and Japan to develop an atomic weapon was on. Most Hanford workers, however, didn’t know that then—they only knew they were building something important to the war effort. It has often been called history’s best-kept military secret. Looking back, Tri-Citians realize just how important the Hanford Site has been to our nation and the Free World. Hanford workers, and the community that supported them, were instrumental not only in ending World War II but in winning the Cold War as well. Hanford’s defense mission has been accom plished, and replaced by a new, equally de manding task. Its workforce is now applying its expertise and ingenuity to the enormous challenge of cleaning up wastes and restoring the environment—part of the price of democracy’s victory. And in its new role, Hanford can continue to make history in service to America and the world. Together with Richland and West Richland, the adjacent cities of Pasco and Kennewick have grown and prospered in step with programs on the Hanford Site. Alongside Hanford’s re nowned scientific and engineering successes, our Tri-Cities community likewise boasts many outstanding beginnings, milestones, and achievements. Hanford and the Tri-Cities have much to be proud of in this, the 50th year of their history together. A community-wide anniversary observance began in March 199 and will continue for a year. The underlying theme: “Hanford and the Tri-Cities together celebrating a half century of progress and achievement.” Community pride and • r-.iion prompted this year-long celebration— that has made our area such a io live.

Sams, met in a hotel room in Salt Lake City in 1913. They had assembled to think through their goals, their reasons of being, and to determine a set of principles to guide them and their associates in the management of their 48-store business, which in 1913 had a sales volume of 2 million, 600 thousand dollars. Acting on the important conviction that the intangibles are more important than the tangibles, these men drafted the statement we now call “The Penney Idea.” This statement continues to be our basic policy for the conduct of our business. In 1992 JCPenney had 1300 stores and 18 billion dollars in sales. The Penney Idea Adopted 1913 To serve the public as nearly as we can to its complete satisfaction. To expect for the service we render a fair remuneration, and not all the profit the traffic will bear. To do all in our power to pack the customer’s dollar full of value, quality and satisfaction. To continue to train ourselves and our associates so that the service we give will be more and more intelligently performed. To improve constantly the human factor in our business. To reward the men and women in our organization through participation in what the business produces. To test our every policy, method and act in this wise: “Does it square with what is right and just?” r g-f.

How did the 1993 Water Follies logo wind up on a coke can? The hydro-spirit is unlimited - but unfortunately, the cans are. Only 30.000 Coke and Diet Coke cans wear the hydro. Thanks to Coca-Cola of Tri-Cities for a classic display of hydro-mania! Live interviews, expert analysis and complete reporting with Mike Fitzsimmons, John Walters and Bob Flajoe Live Time Trial and Race Coverage! Sponsored by: CELLULARONE’ IMAGINE NO UM ITS 9 Ever wonder what those purple and red buttons are? They're everywhere—on shirts, pants, shoes, hats and whatever else will hold them? The purple and red buttons are booster buttons and are sold by a group of ladies that really believe in the boat races and the Tri-Cities. “We sell the buttons and the proceeds go back into the Tri-Cities,” says Elaine Banks, PEO co-chairman. “Money from the sales of booster buttons help fund such projects as new docks, bleachers and park beautification.” she says. “Booster button money also allows us to adopt families at Thanksgiving and Christmas time and we also help the mission and Salvation Army out. among other charitable events.” PEO (Professional and Education Organization) chapter EL with help from PEO chapter GS sell cards containing 10 buttons to local businesses for $30. “If businesses want to recoop their $30 they can sell each button, but most businesses are very recep tive to us and the boat races and donate generously,” Banks says. “Many businesses buy year in and year out. It’s a good program as a $30 donation is within reason for a lot of firms and the money goes to a wonderful community event that attracts a lot of people and a lot of money.” Why are these buttons so popular? Booster buttons admit race fans into the Neil F. Lampson pit area to see the engines, pit crews and maybe an autograph from their favorite owner or driver. Buttons are just S3 and are available throughout the Tri-Cities.

Brown says at limes there may be as many as 50 media persons needing credentials. “Once the press get their credentials, they are pretty much free to roam in order to gather what they need.” The media will find basically everything they need at the trailer. “We are equipped with fax machines, power for laptop or personal computers, live TV feeds and of course phones,” says Brown. “We also have plenty of background information on past racing in the Tri-Cities and the history of the sport that may be used by reporters new to the Budweiser Columbia Cup.
