Military.com and the Federal Register As of Feb. 8, the U.S. Coast Guard has closed its LORAN, (Long Range Navigation Sys- tem), at the state line southwest of Felt. Five of the system’s 24 stations remain online due to agreements with Russia and Canada, those five are in Alaska, Maine and Massachu- setts. But those five will prob- ably be decommissioned by June. The system was closed with a decision made last May by President Obama that the WWII technology was obso- lete, and that its closure would save the nation $190 million over the next five years. Obama said that with GPS, (Global Position- ing Satellites), systems being nearly ubiquitous in cars, planes and boats, the technology wasn’t needed. However, many opposed to the LORAN closure point out that with it as backup, cyber criminals and political enemies are less likely to try to attack U.S. Coast Guard Lifts Anchor, Leaves Cimarron County, Replaced by GPS the GPS system. GPS is run by 25 satellites, while LORAN has 24 U.S. sites ranging from Central California north to Attu in the Aleutian Is- lands to Caribou, Maine and Ju- piter Fla. As well as giving directions, GPS also provide precise times for ATM machines, water plants and positioning for precision guided weapons. A disruption of the GPS system can be a real problem for businesses as well as the military. The GPS satellites, powered by solar panels, push out a faint signal and can be blocked by ob- stacles, heavy clouds and elec- tronic jamming. LORAN, is powered by land lines, and its signal can penetrate obstacles such foliage and is more difficult to interrupt. In fact, in 2007, a Navy training exercise near San Diego, Calif., uninten- tionally jammed GPS signals, shut- ting down satellite navigation and cell phone service for up to ten miles inland for about three hours. Later that year, China proved that it could kill satellites by testing an anti- satellite weapon against one of its age weather satellites. But, though President Obama put the pen to the LORAN’s demise, his wasn’t the first administration to con- sider it. President H.W. was ready to write off LORAN, but was dissuaded by a storm of let- ters written by LORAN back- ers. Sens. Liberman, a Connecti- cut Independent and Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine have protested the clo- sure pointing out that the deploy- ment of an enhanced LORAN would cost about $100 million, about half of what it would cost to place another satellite. However, even the Coast Guard supports the closure pointing out that LORAN was never designed to be a backup system to GPS or any other po- sitioning system. But, the LORAN supporters, many of them in general avia- tion, hope for a Coast Guard decision to mothball rather than dismantle the stations, in the hope that ongoing studies will show that the LORAN is a viable backup to GPS.

Generally I get home and forget everything I intended to write, but this time it was easy to remember as I could only think of one word… intensity. The air was thick with it and as Regional champion- ships began, the Boise City Wildcats were given a chance to rise up and show the com- petition just what they were made of. Thursday night brought the Lady Cats face to face with Forgan and for the first time, I saw what seemed to be nervousness about the team. Alex Morales stepped it up with 16 points, but her ef- forts aside, it was a rough couple of quarters and what should have been a win, turned into a shocking defeat with the scoreboard showing 32 to 52 at the final buzzer. This loss threw the girls into the losers’ bracket, but perhaps it was just the wakeup call the team needed. With tension running at an all time high, the Lady Wildcats hit the court Friday night with a newfound desire to win against the Fargo com- petition. In fact, it is my opin- ion that every single girl that stepped onto that basketball court played their heart out. It was an excellent game and whatever apprehension the Lady Cats might have suffered, it was soon swept away with a huge win over Fargo, 61 to 27. The consolation round of the Regional tournament began on Saturday between the Lady Wildcats and Ft. Supply. It can- not be easy to climb through the bottom bracket knowing that every game is potentially your last, but the Lady Cats have always provided an un- wavering force against the competition and Saturday night proved to be no different. If I had to pick one star of the show it would definitely be Tiffany Schuette who came out hot scoring 11 points securing her spot as the lead scorer for the night; however, the rest of the team followed suite fighting for the chance to stay alive and press forward. As the seconds wound down the girls dug deep and pulled out a win with 47 points to show over Ft. Supply’s 41; thus becom- ing the consolation champions and advancing into Area to play Erick in Laverne at 6:30. As for the boys…let me tell you, they defi- nitely know how to put on a show. Thursday night versus Forgan was a rather painful loss to watch with the score ending up at 26 to 70. But these boys do not give up; they are fighters and seem to thrive off of a little adversity. Fri- day brought the Boise City Wild- cats up against Arnett and the Cats wasted no time getting down to business. Trey Sparkman came alive nailing 18 points to become the lead scorer as well as crashing the boards for 6 rebounds making him a valu- able asset on both ends of the floor. With the scores totaling out at 43 to 35 in Boise City’s favor the Cats found themselves play- ing for consolation on Saturday night against Waynoka. The game started off like any other but soon turned into a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs, twists and turns like one could not believe. Reed Gore started the game off right with 6 points and an incredible hustle, spurring his team along. Unfor- tunately at half time the boys were trailing by 10 points and while many would have thrown in the towel, this group of scrap- pers dove wholeheartedly into the game. Clay Murdock got hot with the outside jumper se- curing 10 points for the team as well as pulling the opposition off of Todd Munsch allowing him to work his magic and throw down 20 points of his own. In- credibly with seconds to spare the Cats pulled it off, 58 to 50, winning the consolation plaque at Regional’s and advancing into area. They will be facing Vici at 8:00 in Laverne this Thurs- day. These two teams have been preparing all year for the road that lies ahead; they are a special group of individuals that has spent years vying for a chance to play with the big dogs. Now that time has come and it is my hope that no matter what happens, all of the players in- volved realize that they have accomplished something great and their devoted fans will be right there behind them cheer- ing them on.
