Lago Employees Receive Special Gift for Outstanding Safety Performance


"I am pleased to present to
you this token gift in recognition
of our employees' outstanding
safety achievement during 1970".
With these words Lago Presi-
dent Roy L. Trusty presented an
inscribed penknife to the com-
pany's longest service employee,
Gregorio Willems, on February
1. Mr. Willems, an operator in
the Process Department, was
selected as the first employee
to receive this special gift in
view of his outstanding safety
record: 38 years of service with-
out an industrial accident.
The presentation took place in
the Edeleanu Plant control room
in the presence of Safety Adviser
Everett Beaujon, Assistant Gen-
eral Manager E. C. Foley, Proc-
ess Manager Julian F. Mote,
Utilities Division Superintendent
Erik A. Eriksen, and Process
Maintenance Coordinator J. C.
Hermans. They all congratulated
Mr. Willems and wished him
continued success in his job.
Lago's safety achievement du-
ring 1970 is three-fold: On Sep-
tember 15, employees completed
one year of accident-free oper-
ation; on September 27, employ-
ees achieved 3,000,000 man-
hours of work since the last dis-
abling injury; and employees
improved their overall safety
performance during 1970.
To commemorate this impor-
tant achievement, all male em-
ployees received a similar gift
last week. Imprinted on one side
of the black scale of the pen-
knife is the Lago oval, while on
the other side an inscription
reads: "One Year No Disabling
Accidents-1970 Safety Award".
Female employees received a
Dutch silver comb and mirror
set.
Lago's excellent safety record
has been recognized over the
years with many first place
awards, awards of merit and
awards of honor. The company
is proud of its employees' safety
performance which is due to ac-
tive participation in various sa-
fety programs, safety training

Arikok hill, the second highest
point of the island at 617 feet
above sea level. In the presence
of government officials and the
press, Alderman Virgilio Kock
officially placed the VOR station
in service after the guests were

VOR Stacion Poni na Operacion

Como Guia Aerea Moderno pa Aruba


Diahuebs, Januari 28, un ce-
remonia corticu a tuma lugar
riba Ceroe Arikok, 617 pia riba
nivel di lama na Aruba. Den
presencia di ambtenaarnan di
gobierno y miembronan di pren-
sa, Diputado Virgilio Kock a in-
augurt oficialmente e stacion
VOR despues cu huespednan a
recibi un bonbini di Director di
Aeropuerto E. G. Vos.
E station pa Very high fre-
quency Omnidirectional Range
(VOR) awor lo duna un manera
mas facil y modern pa avion-
nan acerca Aruba, ya for di un
distancia di mas of menos 300
milja nautico y bulando na un
haltura di 30,000 pia.
E station VOR, cu tin un sis-
tema dobbel cu potencia di 200
watt (cu un sistema di reserve
si acaso esun otro faya), ta rem-
plaza un radio-faro di frecuencia
abao, cu awor ta keda banda di
vliegveld Beatrix.
E station VOR ta traha cu un
voltahe di 220, y ingenleronan
di electronic Wilcox a instalI
ribs Arikok segun conseho di
Administration Federal di Avia-
clon di Merca. Pa percura pa
semper tin coriente na e station,
un generator diesel ta install
na pia di e ceroe pa start ora
di emergencia.
E radio-faro VOR, comblna cu
un marcador cu ta keda na pia
di e pista dl vliegveld, lo juda
pilotonan trece nan avion cu so-
guridad na Aruba ora dl meal
tempu y poco visbillidad.
Dos ventaha dl e equlpo VOR
nobo riba esun bleuw ta: cu a


radio-faro VOR ta indica cu si e
avion ta bula pa of for di e sta-
cion y e no ta ser stroba pa in-
terferencia di condicionnan at-
mosferico.
Mas of menos f. 180,000 a
word gasta riba e station aki,
y e ta part di e plan di hopi
anja, mientras cu Gobierno Hu-
landes a paga tur gasto. E pro-
jecto a cuminza na 1964 ora
vliegveld Beatrix tabata bai pre-
parando pa recibi avionnan jet.
Ta posibel pa equipa e sta-
cion cu grabador riba cinta, pa
transmission automatic y conti-
nue di information tocante tem-
po y otro information pa avion.
E station VOR y su edificio
cilindrico ariba Arikok ta ofrece
posibilldad pa instala aparato di
midimento na larga distancia
(DME) pa medio di cual e sta-
cion lo por duna tanto direction
como distancia di avion for di e
stacion, y di e manera ey duna
nan position exactamente.
Despues di inspection pa me-
dio di avion special haci entire
5 y 6 Februari, e stacion VOR a
keda oficialmente aproba y el a
recibi un certificado di Admini-
stracion Federal di Aviacion.

nidirectional Range (VOR) sta-
tion now provides an easier and
modern path-finding medium to
Aruba for aircraft from a dis-
tance of about 300 nautical miles
at an altitude of 30,000 feet.
The VOR station, which has a
double 200-watt system (with
one unit for standby that auto-
matically takes over if the oper-
ating unit fails), replaces a low
frequency non-directional bea-
con that is located near the
Princess Beatrix Airport. Two
advantages of the VOR equip-
ment over the former beacon
are the VOR beacon indicates
whether the aircraft is flying to
or away from the station, and it
is not subject to interference by
atmospheric conditions.
Installed on the Arikok on the
advice of the U.S. Federal Avia-
tion Administration, the VOR
equipment operates on 220
volts. To assure constant power
supply, an emergency diesel
generator has been installed at
the foot of the hill.
The VOR beacon, combined
with a so-called marker beacon
at the beginning of the runway,
will help pilots in bringing in
their aircraft in case of bad
weather or poor visibility. The
station can also be used for
safely stacking planes above the
VOR beacon.
The project, requiring a total
investment of approximately
FIs. 180,000, is part of the multi-
year plan and was financed by
the Netherlands Government. It
was initiated in 1964 when the
Beatrix Airport was being pre-
pared for modern jet air traffic.
The station can be further
equipped with a taperecorder
for automatic and continuous
transmission of weather and
other information to aircraft.
The VOR station and the cy-
lindrical steel building on top
of the hill offer the possibility
of installing a Distance Measur-
ing Equipment (DME) which
would enable the VOR station to
give direction as well as the
distance of the aircraft from the
station, thus giving accurate
position.
After flight inspections, car-
ried out between February 5 and
6, the VOR station was officially
approved and issued a certifi-
cate by FAA.
