Administration Proposes New Federal Property Tools
July 13, 2000
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- The Clinton administration's proposal to reform portions of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 for the first time in 50 years would create commercial-type opportunities for federal real property management, officials said yesterday.
"With the dollar value of federal real and personal property assets estimated to be in the hundreds of billions, and the federal government owning nearly 3 billion square feet of space, it is increasingly imperative that prevailing policies ensure their efficient and effective stewardship," Administrator David J. Barram, of the U.S. General Services Administration, said in testimony delivered during yesterday's Senate hearing. "It's time we use the same common-sense property management strategies in the federal government that have already proven successful in the private sector."
Mr. Barram and David Bibb, GSA's deputy associate administrator for real property, Office of Governmentwide Policy, testified at the House Government Reform Committee's subcommittee on government management, information and technology hearing. The Senate companion bill is S.2805.
"With few exceptions, agencies today are not authorized to sell, exchange or lease outmoded capital assets and use the proceeds for replacements," Mr. Bibb said. "As a result, agencies lacking sufficient appropriations must get along with sub-standard facilities and divert resources from vital facilities to maintain unproductive property."
To allow for better management of federal assets, the proposed bill authorizes agencies to:
- exchange or sell personal property for replacement property or related services;
- retain proceeds from surplus personal property sales to offset disposal costs;
- exchange or transfer real property to other federal agencies;
- enter into agreements with non-federal entities to exchange or sell real property as a means of acquiring replacement property;
- sublease unexpired portions of federal leases;
- lease underused government property that must remain under federal ownership to private sector companies.
To improve federal property management processes, the bill authorizes agencies to:
- retain the bulk of proceeds from real property transactions to offset disposal costs and - use in meeting capital asset needs;
- control disposal of their surplus real property, with the option, not the mandate, to choose GSA;
- permit nonprofit institutions, along with the currently mandated state and local governments, to receive surplus real property for historic preservation;
- execute personal property negotiated sales without submitting a statement to Congress;
- increase threshold for explanations to Congress concerning real property negotiated sales to $2 million;
- reduce administrative burdens and costs associated with making real property available for homeless assistance programs, thereby enabling efficient and effective property disposal for other purposes, when appropriate;
- allow nonprofit organizations, along with the currently mandated state and local governments, to acquire abandoned federal property that has no commercial value;
- clarify and remove conflicting provisions regarding donation of personal property and reduce administrative and recordkeeping burdens on state surplus property agencies.

A Great Pair of Sperry's
"The Sperry Top-Sider Lanyard Boat Shoes are great to wear and formal enough for work. I love that the outer soles are thicker than other Sperry's to help with keeping traction on multiple surfaces. These are my favorite pair of Sperry's by far. I will definitely be returning to DSW for another pair when needed."

Saturday. Sept. 14
We are wrapping up our 10 days in Klagenfurt with a victory in the Alice Marble Cup....4th year in a row. The tennis started at 10am and didn't end until late afternoon. The weather was sunny and dry today. #2 Kerry fought hard but lost to an excellent player in a 2 hour battle, 6-4, 7-5. Tina took on the #1 from Austria, and despite several service breaks by each player, Tina prevailed 6-3, 6-3. She hit winning service returns, attacked the net at every opportunity. That brought us to the deciding doubles and a very exciting match. Our USA Grand Slam champions and World Champions Tina and Mary took the court and promptly feel behind 5-1 The Austrians kept them off balance with numerous lobs and drives. Once Tina & Mary decided it was Ok to hit many, many overheads per point, they saved 3 set points and won 7-6 (2), 6-1. It is so hard to put away the ball on that red clay, but the USA used all their patience and skill to take control and frustrate the opponents. It has been a great week for the Alice Marble team. After the awards ceremony, the team celebrated with a special dinner at a nearby beautiful lake.
Friday, Sept. 13
It's on to the final now. We beat Great Britain today. Kerry started her match with a drop-shot winner and continued to out play her opponent, winning, 6-2, 6-1. Tina lost the first game at #1, but then cruised to a 6-2, 6-0 victory. Mary and Martha added the drama, though we had already won the match with the two singles victories. They won 7-6 (13-11 in the breaker, saving four set points), 6-3. We watched the other semis (Netherlands vs Austria) which went down to the deciding doubles. We will be ready for Austria tomorrow, knowing they will have a crowd and the home-court advantage.
Last night at the dinner, they all dressed in the traditional Austrian-Switzerland dresses ... so cute and attractive. Weather was chilly today, but the sun did come out ... so nice to know it is not supposed to rain anymore, and we will finish with an extra day for sightseeing.
Thursday, Sept 12
It was a beautiful day in Klagenfurt! Although we started cold (45 degrees!), it was dry. Kerry started us off against Germany with her 6-0, 6-0 win ... taking advantage of the wet clay by hitting many, many winning drop shots Her opponent was terribly frustrated. Tina followed up against a hard hitting #1 and defeated her 6-1, 6-2. Mary and Martha rounded out the victory with a 6-1, 6-1 win. Despite the 50% chance of rain, by then we were enjoying sunshine and hardly knew what to do. Tomorrow we take on Great Britain in the semi finals. They upset the Australians in their round robin play. Tonight we have our big dinner at a local hotel facility, where many of the teams come together for the ITF sponsored dinner. We don't know which teams will be there, since sometimes they bus in teams that are playing at other sites. We all dress up by wearing our USA scarves and the men wear their USA ties.
Wednesday, Sept 11
At 1:30pm the officials finally canceled the women's schedule for today. The rain had finally stopped enough to get 17 courts playable by 2:30, but the officials needed to play the Britannia Cup (men's 65's) who are sharing the facility with us, because the men have more teams involved and needed to try to stay on schedule.
We were able to practice indoors for 30 minutes, which gave us a little exercise, as well as gave us a chance to see how the indoor courts play, in case we are inside tomorrow. We started watching our men's 65 team play the Netherlands (a very tough team), but they were rained on after 1 game. So with umbrellas in tow, we got a ride downtown to explore some new places. Later we learned that our men did get back on the courts after their rain delay, but eventually had to finish the second set of their doubles indoors. They did win 2 matches to 1. We ended up with a delicious Austrian dinner at a restaurant that we found on our walk home. This cute little place had a bar and only 5-6 tables in a second room. Our waiter was very patient explaining the menu in his best English. We were not sure exactly what we were getting, but we ended up making perfect choices. Now we are back in our rooms hoping we can play outside tomorrow.
Tuesday, Sept. 10
We had another successful day ... no rain, and we beat Croatia ... all matches were 6-0, 6-0. We had a team practice when we were done, trying to stay sharp, as we know the matches will start getting harder. After the rain we have been having, the courts are harder (less sliding), so slices and drop shots can really die. The balls get dirty and fluffy. We try to finish before they become too fluffy, and we become too dirty. One of the customs that our tennis facility uses is taking your shoes off before you go in to the bathrooms. I admit that we leave red clay from our shoes everywhere we go, but this rule seems a little strange to me.
After the tennis we went to Portschock, a beautiful area on a huge lake, about 10-15 minutes away. Some of the other teams are playing there, but all the USA teams were already done by the time we were there, so we were forced to shop in the quaint little town! Mary is becoming the queen of shopping. I think she was able to fill the backpack that we were given by the ITF tournament organizers as a welcome gift (we also received a very nice tennis shirt). The scenic drive back went past many lovely homes with the traditional Austrian balconies and gorgeous hanging baskets full of flowers. I couldn't help but think of Julie Andrews, the Von Trapp family and the Sound of Music.
Rain is predicted tonight, but we will be ready for whatever the day brings.
Monday, Sept. 9 (evening update)
We finally got to play today against Poland, and thank goodness all the matches were quick. We started at 4:15 and finished 15 min before sunset. Kerry won 0 & 0, Tina won 1 & 1 and Mary & I won 0 & 1 in the doubles. We all played through sprinkles during part of the matches, and I think Mary and I played most of our match in the dark. Tomorrow we take on Croatia.
Monday, Sept. 9
We started our defense of our Alice Marble Cup today (we have won three years in a row) with a rain delay. I think it has been raining off and on since 1:30 a.m. We have now been told that we will play against Poland, starting in two hours at 4 p.m. Our #2 plays first, then #1, then the doubles. I think we may be skipping dinner! I just hope we get to finish the singles before dark, since there are no lights here.
Kerry, Mary, and I used the break in the rain to walk to the grocery store to buy our water. As many times as I have been to Europe on a Cup team, I am not used to paying almost 3 euros (about $4.25) for 12 oz. of water. At dinner, the beer is about the same price. The grocery store is a must because it is so much cheaper. While there we learned how to use a shopping cart by inserting a coin in the handle, and then having the coin pop out when we returned the cart to its storage position. Seems like a very efficient system for shopping cart control. We spent another break in the rain going to the nearby Tabak store, where we found our playing cards.
Although Klagenfurt has around 90,000 people, it still seems like a quaint little town. Maybe that is because the streets are narrow, the cars are small, and there are a lot of bicycles (which I can understand, since gas is over $8/gal.) We are right across the street from the university, though we wonder if school has started because we have not seen a lot of students. Our area has a lot of outside cafes, which is wonderful, since the Austrians still seem to be big smokers. There are several bakeries nearby, and we are happy that the Europeans like their bread. Now we if can just get them to want and need ice! We did see a McDonald's when we went to town on Saturday, but I am not going there, even for ice.
Time to get mentally ready for our match...
Sunday, Sept. 8
We had another gorgeous day (Sunday) here in Klagenfurt. By late afternoon, it started to be a bit cloudy, and it's sad to think that rain is predicted for the next five to six days! I'm just glad I am not the tournament director! Today our team looked at the indoor carpet courts and wondered if we would end up playing there. I'm already looking for bridge games.
We have a good breakfast buffet with our room fee...breads, eggs, bacon, sausage, yogurt, juices, cereals, fruit, meats, and cheeses. And we discovered that our Australian friends even bring their own Vegimite! We figured out the recipe for coffee ... two shots of cappuccino and one shot of espresso.
We had another good morning practice. Mary lead us in good "down the line/cross court" drills. With two on one, the "one" was hitting 20 successful balls in a row, so I feel like the matches will be easier than our drills.
After our practice I returned to my room and started in on my laundry. Kerry arrived right on time and looked quite fresh after her flight from the U.S. Tina went to our Captain's meeting while the three of us went back to the courts for another practice. Tina was able to join us a bit later, and reported with our format (16 teams, so we have four groups of four in round robin) and our seeding (No. 1, since we have won three years in a row.) Tomorrow we start with Poland, whom we have never played before. It should be fun to meet new players and see what their games are like.
We were bussed to the opening ceremonies 15 minutes away. Well, most of us bussed ... we noticed the team from the Netherlands rode bikes. They told us later that it was a 40-minute ride! and another 40 minutes to return ... but we are not intimidated! It was wonderful to see some of our other teams who also came in from around the area. In these ceremonies each team marches in to center court so all the players are there while we have welcoming speeches, which fortunately were short, since it was still quite warm. We also saw a dance presentation by five Austrian boys ... great fun as they danced, stomped, and clapped in a traditional Austrian presentation. We finished the ceremony with champagne and orange juice.
Back in our neighborhood, we walked around the corner to enjoy another casual, outside dinner. At least four to five other teams were there also, all of whom are staying in the same hotel as us.
Back in the room, we are watching the men's doubles at the US Open ... not sure if we can stay awake long enough to watch the women's final, as it doesn't start here until 10:30 p.m. We have our warm-up tomorrow at 8:45, and we need to be ready.
Greetings from Klagenfurt. Three of our Alice Marble team arrived safely in Klagenfurt yesterday (Friday). Tina Karwasky and Martha having long days coming from the West Coast, and Mary Ginnard flying in from New York, where she and Tina had been for a few days receiving their Grand Slam awards at the USTA awards presentation. Our #2 player, Kerry Young, will be arriving Sunday. We were very happy that all of our tennis equipment and luggage arrived with us.
The ITF was quite organized for our 20-minute bus ride to our lodging, so we were able to check in, unpack and then hit the courts for some practice. The tennis facility is right across the street from our hotel, which is called the All You Need Hotel. What a name! My room is small, but it does have a nice balcony and view of a grassy area of the hotel. Mary and Tina got a view of the parking lot and motorcycles ... yes, it seems to be the Annual European Motorcycle week ... good thing, since their engines woke up Mary and Tina after they overslept this morning. The courts are red clay and the balls are hard, but we are adjusting and will be ready when the competition starts on Monday.
Our clay-court expert, Mary, gave us Californians a lesson on sliding, but I know I won't have it under control by Monday, but it sure does help when I can use it. We had a nice little dinner right next to the hotel. There are a lot of little cafes with outdoor seating in our area, and we want to take advantage of the beautiful weather (80 degrees) that we are currently having, because rain and 67 degrees are predicted for later in the week.
Today we had a good practice in the morning ... "borrowed" a Canadian player for some doubles. Later we walked to town, which is full of little shops on cobble streets, as well as the famous Klagenfurt dragon statue and some impressive churches. We also found a large, indoor mall, which looked a lot like the US malls, but with different stores. Prices are high by U.S. standards, but both Mary and Tina managed to find some good bargains.
Sunday is more practice and then opening ceremonies. We have already seen several players that we know from other countries, but tomorrow we will see and greet even more. I think we're ready!

Last Thursday, the Harrisburg High School wrestling team opened up SIRR Ohio play with a 44-33 loss to Murphysboro in dual action.
"We made improvements tonight, but continue to make inexperienced mistakes," head coach Greg Langley said. "Those mistakes cost us in some matches that could have swung this match our way."
Darren O'Dell (113-pound), Cody Rightnowar (132-pound), along with Lowry (126-pound), James Baker (145-pound), Karnoksi (182-pound) and Tyler Owens (220-pound) all picked up wins for Harrisburg against the Red Devils.
O'Dell won in a time of 2:26, while Lowry won a decision 7-2. Rightnowar picked up a pinfall at 2:38, while Baker won with a time of 1:30. Karnoski won by forefit and Owens won by pinfall in a time of 1:30.
Only two wins came by the way of an upper classman with Baker (senior) and Owens (junior).
"When you have as many young kids in the lineup, mistakes are to be expected," Langley added. "What we have toy do is correct those mistakes now and continue to improve. I still see this group that we have in the lineup right now as having the potential to be successful through hard work."
On Saturday at the Benton Duals, Harrisburg picked up a win over Carterville (60-21) and Fairfield (42-42, Harrisburg won on tiebreaker), while falling to Sparta 42-33 to stand at 2-3 on the season.
"I have been telling the kids early on this season that we have to make improvements each time we get a chance to wrestle on the mat," Langley said. "I saw some our kids do that today. Don't get me wrong, we still make mistakes and do not always follow what we work on in practice, but there was marked improvements."
In the win against Carterville, O'Dell, Sullivan, Lowry, Rightnowar, Baker, Crisenberry, HIcks, Adams, Owens and Thom all won in their respective matches.
In the win against Fairfield, O'Dell, Lowry, Rightnowar, Crisenbery, Perkins, Owens and Thom all picked up victories.
In the loss to Sparta, Clairda, O'Dell, Sullivan, Rightnowar, Baker and Hicks all won.
"We want them to buy into things that will make us better and able to compete," Langley added.
"With a younger group, it's all about taking steps forward for success rather than back. I like what I see out of our young guys and foresee them having success as we move down the season.
Harrisburg is slated to host Anna-Jonesboro at Bonnell Gymnasium Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m.

By REX D. JONESHuntington
The Manti-LaSal National Forest is being over run by the Western Pine Beetle. There is evidence of considerable study about the beetle.
Some studies claim the beetle infestation is normal and nothing should be done to control their attack on the pine forest in the Manti-LaSal National Forest.
It has been stated "the beetle will breed and kill scattered, overmature, slow-growing, decadent, or diseased trees". Having that knowledge, a beetle trap may have been designed and used similar to the current fly or wasp traps used today.
Further, it is viewed that in most studies, people are not a part of nature but simple observers; therefore, it appears their needs were not considered in these studies.
The folks conducting these studies can identify the "scattered, overmature, slow-growing, decadent, or diseased trees." In doing so, those trees might have been selected for harvesting and the branches shredded and remain in the forest as ground cover along with some specially placed nonshredded limbs.
As the personnel and equipment moved out of an area---grass, ground cover and/or new trees might have been selectively planted. This would have begun new growth, afford minimum erosion, and provide a more healthy and vibrant forest.
The forest might have returned to full growth in 50-100 years. If the way of beetles is to continue, the forest might return to full growth in 200-300 years.
There will also be a good chance of forest fires and serious erosion issues. This could leave our reservoirs open to receive an over abundance of sediment and debris requiring the need for more frequent dredging.
Some questions I have include:
1) Why were attempts not made to control the Western Pine Beetle during their early infestation of the forest?
2) While it appears most or all of the pine trees in the Manti-LaSal Forest are infested. It appears as though the Manti-LaSal forest meets the requirements for invasion by the Western Pine Beetle and if so� Why was the forest not selectively harvested before the beetle infestation?
3) Now that the forest is infested with the Western Pine Beetle�What is being done to prevent further spread of the beetle?
4) What is the percentage of chance for having a large forest fire by lightning strike over a healthy well-maintained forest?
5) With the trees dead by beetle infestation�How will this effect wild life?
6) With the trees dead by beetle infestation�How will this effect soil erosion?
Common sense must be brought to this issue of the Western Pine Beetle infestation.

YALANDJA, Owen
I always use the same wood, kurrajong [Brachychiton diversifolius], to make my sculptures. My father [Crusoe Kuningbal] used the same wood and taught me and my brother [Crusoe Kurddal] how to carve. He only did mimih spirit figures and when I first started as an artist, I used to make mimih figures as well. Then I decided to change and to start representing yawkyawk spirit figures.
Yawkyawk is a bit the equivalent of a mermaid in balanda culture. Yawkyawk is my Dreaming and she lives in the water at Barrihdjowkkeng near where I have set up my outstation. She has always been there. I often visit this place.
I love making these sculptures and I have invented a way to represent the fish scales on her body. The colours I use have particular meanings [which are not public]. I make them either red or black. I am now teaching all my kids to carve, just like my father did for us. My son Dustin Bonson is already working for the arts centre.
