Rifte range draws fire, pursues peace...from page 3
sistantc:lliector. He adds that he
doesn'texpectanymoredemonstrations in the near future.
Nevertheless, there Will be
new activities at the center. The
U.S. Army National Guard will
becondtidingdriigeriforcernent
training there, and a strange new
structure is urider construction.
The second "tire house'' iri the
country is being built from tires
and telephone poles, for use bf.
the guard's drug interdi~on
teaminexercisesusingautomatic weapons. Completion of the
·tire s~cture is expected by the
endofNovember.
Meanwhile, neighbOrs are
concerned about increased nOise.
.Marie Schillinger; who has a home
and business in the area, sa~ the
FBI's machine guns went off late
at night, and the helicopter rnaneuvers were disturbing. Residents from miles away were irritated by iow-flying helicopters
and worried about posstble collisions. ;'For the taxes we pay, we
do deserVe a little quiet arolmd
here," commeilts Schilliilger.
She adds, however, that she
has been trying to work ~ng_s
out with MCC, and the college
has been pretty fair-in dealiitg
with the situation. She empha.;.
sized that she wants to maintain
a goOd relationship with. the
neighbor, a sentiment echoed by
D' Amore. He told The Sentinel
that the center has _halted early
morning and Sunday shooting
exercises, and plans to strictly
control uses of the site. And
when residents complained aboutcontihued helicopter landings, he checked it out-then
asked the National Guard to stop
flying its coordinator in to work
atthesite.
D'Amore does not expect
that residents will notice any in- .
creased noise or activity levels
froril the National Guard training. The tire house, he says, will
be "one more tool for law enforcement agencies to enhance
. drug enforcement efforts," predieting tha.t area residents will
support that goal. D' Amore
promises to keep the neighbors
and the town hall informed of
tiaining center activities, and invited concerned neighbors to con. tact him for more information.
