Court of Appeals Dedication Ceremony - College Involvement On Monday,
February 3, 1986 the opening of the United States Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit took place here in Pasadena with a great deal of help from
campus employees and church members.
The event was attended by Messrs. Tkach, Neff, Helge, Rice and myself,
along with a number of other Church officials and wives.
This was the
event mentioned by Mr. Tkach in his most recent co-worker letter. Mr.
Tkach was able to meet briefly with the guest of honor, United States
Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger.
Judge Dorothy Nelson, who coordinated the event, has attended many con
certs and special events Ambassador Foundation has held. She has always
expressed that our standards are very impressive, and thus asked for our
assistance with the ceremony.
Due to the limited space in the Vista del Arroyo Hotel, which has been
rebuilt and converted into the courthouse, TV monitors had to be set up
throughout the building by our television crew. They were also asked to
tape the proceedings for a video documentary of the event.
The Ambassador Auditorium stage crew set up the courtroom with proper
lighting for the ceremony and for the Pasadena Boy's Choir that performed.
Auditorium ushers directed parking and assisted in the set-up of the
Mexican-style meal, which was prepared by the ladies from the Pasadena
Spanish congregation along with the Food Services staff.
Our landscape
crew helped in beautifying the set-up area around.the tent in which the
buffet meal was served.
The cabinet shop provided a set-up for the band that played the opening
music, and the moving crew helped out a great deal with all the material
that was needed on location.
The photography department served as the
official photographers, providing shots for reports covering the event.
As you can see, the college became quite involved in coordinating and
serving for this event.
Judge Nelson summed up her thanks by saying:
"Each task performed was done with such competence and excellence that are
rare to experience. Equally important to me was the spirit of service to
the community evidenced by each and every member of your staff.
The
courtesy, dedication and sweetness of demeanor of each and every one of
them was a pleasure to experience."
"The Worldwide News
n
will have an article covering the event in an up
coming edition, including a photograph of Mr. Tkach with Chief Justice
Burger.

Emissions Since the advent of emission controls on automobiles, there has
been a device called an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve on all GM
engines.
The reason for the EGR valve is to reduce nitrous oxide (NOX)
emissions. NOX emissions are produced when cylinder pressure and heat are
too high.
An
EGR valve maintains a tolerable level of heat and pressure
