A more appropriate ad- jective might be "atomic." Charlie Daniels and bandmembers Tom Crain (guitar, vocals), Charlie Hayward (bass), Taz DiGregorio (key- boards, vocals) and Jack Gavin (drums, percussion), treated concert goers to a string of the band's past hits, as well as tracks off their latest LP, "Powder Keg." Chants of "Charlie, Charlie," filled the air as the band members filed on stage, followed by Cmdr. Martha Milligan, Chief Staff Offi- r, who introduced the leader of pack to the crowd of cheering s. "Hello, Guantanamo Bay! Hello, United States of America! Hello, United States Navy! Hello, United States Marine Corps! Hello, United States Seabees!" Daniels greeted, with each "hello" followed by a round of thunderous applause. Although it hardly seemed pos- sible, the sound level increased when the first strains of music were heard, and each time a familiar tune reached the audience, the level rose even more. Songs such as "America, the Beautiful", which brought the audience to its feet, and the "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", which brought the audience's feet to the ground, were just two of the numbers performed. Others included: "The South Is Going To Do It Again", "Amazing Grace", and "Drinkin' My Baby Goodbye." Near the end of the concert, Capt. John R. Condon, COMNAVBASE, present- ed the group with a plaque and an American flag flown over the base. With the formalities of the con- cert over, the Charlie Daniels Band performed an encore for the audience, which, when over, left the fans yelling for more.

Query: Carlos Bru is do-ing an outstanding job in theLaundry.

Query: I have noticed aremarkable improvement in theservice I receive at theLaundry since Carlos Bru hasbeen working there.

Reply: We have receivedmore compliments on CarlosBru's exceptional performancethan we have had on all otheremployees combined. We answerso many complaints from cus-tomers in these articles thatfor a change we thought wewould make an exception anddevote an entire column tosomeone who has significantlycontributed to the success ofNAVRESALEACT.

Carlos Bru has faithfullyserved his country and theresidents of Guantanamo Bayfor over 40 years. In Nov-ember 1987 he retired as ourRESALEACT Personnel Officer.For his superior performancehe was awarded a SuperiorAccomplishment RecognitionAward in the highest dollaramount we were allowed togive.After retirement, Mr. Bru

wanted to find a local jobwhich would keep him occupiedand which would qualify himfor Social Security. Weoffered him every top job wehad at NAVRESALEACT, but heasked to work in the Laundryin order to have a job wherehe could meet and conversewith people. It was the bestthing that could have hap-pened to the Laundry and baseresidents alike, and the com-pliments have been pouring inever since.

Some of our customers haveconfided to us that they haveheard Mr. Bru was demoted andplaced in the Laundry againsthis will. Nothing could befarther from the truth, andanyone who listens to thesemalicious liars should startwondering what these "rumor

mongers" say about them be-hind their backs.Thank you, Mr. Bru, for a

job well done.

Query: I would like toknow why the Gatoraid at theMini Mart costs $1.40 when atthe Commissary it cost $1.81.I think it is a big rip-off!Reply: Both prices are

marked correctly. TheGatoraid at the Mini Mart waspurchased at a special priceby the distributor and wepassed this cost savings onto the customer. We did notreceive any discount for theGatoraid sold at the Commis-sary and the $1.81 Commissaryprice reflects the normalcost price of this product.

Query: I gave one of yourbarbers $5 for a haircut. Hegave me back $2 and I thentipped him a dollar. I havesince found out that haircutsonly cost $2.00! He ripped meoff $1 and then took a $1 tipfor it!Reply: We have two pro-

blems here. First of all ourbarber overcharged thecustomer, and then he accept-ed a tip which is againstNavy regulations. DiscipliaryAction will be taken and wethank you for bringing thisto our attention.Query: I'd like to know

if something can be done toprovide maternity uniformsfor military women. They toldme at the exchange that theyhave been on order for threemonths. Can something bedone? This is getting a bitridiculous.

Reply: We are closelyfollowing up on this out-standing order and we willhopefully have them in stocksoon. We hope you get thembefore you have your baby anddon't need them anymore!Please call 4355 and give theexact size you need in orderto expedite by air lifting toGuantanamo.

Hydrogen peroxide is not the solution to cleaning an animals woundBy Capt. Bruce WilliamsBase Veterinarian

The dog came in for its ap-pointment, on time as usual.The usual complaint too, earinfection, both ears thistime. Lifting one ear gin-gerly, I saw that whichhaunts the depths of mynightmares on a recurrentbasis, rivulets of green andblack running from the tip ofthe ear to the unseen depthsbelow. The dog, unimpressed

my clinical aptitude andogany-framed diploma hang-on the wall, registered

its disapproval of the pro-ceedings by chewing (andswallowing) my otoscope."I don't know how it got so

bad," offered the dog's own-er. "I poured hydrogen perox-

ide down it for days."At this point, I opened the

nearest drawer, stuck my headinto it, and began repeatedlyopening and closing it on myneck.

In recollection, some ofthe worst, most gruesome dis-asters that I have seen havebeen closely associated withthose two words, "hydrogenperoxide."

Let me explain my point.All the world uses hydrogenperoxide to wash out cuts orfight bacterial infection, asa home remedy. I remember thefirst day my mother switchedfrom merthiolate (alcohol-based) to peroxide (whichdoesn't hurt a bit). Now,that was a great day.

But what we didn't know was

what peroxide really does ina cut. Hydrogen peroxide, twomolecules of hydrogen and twoof oxygen, combines with or-ganic debris (dirt, blood,bacteria, etc.) to formwater, and release carbon di-oxide gas (those famedbubbles).

Those famed bubbles. Thosemagic bubbles, whose verypresence tells us that awound is infected, right?Bunk. Peroxide will bubblewhen it hits blood, or sand,or just about anything. Thewater that is released duringthis reaction actually makesthe environment morehospitable for bacteria thatlive in a wound. (Actually,they say those bubbles maywash up some bacteria from

the recesses of the wound,but this minor help doesn'tcounterbalance the adverseeffect of "pouring water"into most contaminatedwounds.)

And nowhere is this problemseen more vividly than ininfected ears. Most infectedears have their roots in awet ear, which breaks downthe skin which lines the ear,giving the natural bacterialiving in there a foothold.

When I want to get bacteriaout of a wound, I use acouple of things. Number one,good old soap and water andscrub. Betadine, an iodinatedsoap, is a good suggestionfor extra bactericidal activ-ity. Then, alcohol or analcohol-based product. Sure,

it stings, but alcohol notonly kills a lot of bacteria,but has a drying, or astrin-gent effect, making the woundless "friendly" for bacteriawho take up residence there.

I don't want to badmouthperoxide totally, however.There is nothing better forremoving dried blood fromhair or around wounds. Butfor scrapes on our dogs andcats, let's reach for some-thing stronger.

Oh, by the way, we flushedthe dog's ears out with analcohol-based solution underanesthesia, and sent it homeon antibiotics and more earflush. The dog did fine, Ibought a new otoscope, and myneck stopped hurting lastweek.

By Associated Press

Although it took the Lakerssix games to beat Boston lastspring, it appeared at theend of the championshipseries that the Lakers were asolid choice to make it twoin a row.

Boston was showing agespots and lacked that vitalingredient called a "bench".

But Red Auerbach, thegeneral manager, is not oneto sit on something like abench and he made a couple ofmoves.

He signed the veterancenter, Artis Gilmore, and a

slick point guard, DickMinniefield, as free agents.Gilmore has proved to be anefficient reserve in the pi-vot and Minniefield has beena mover and a shaker at pointguard.

Along with long-time starslike Larry Bird, Dennis John-son, Kevin MoHale, RobertParish and Danny Ainge, thetwo new men have given theCeltics a new look.

The Lakers have played morehalf-court basketball thisyear than last season's fast-break express which all butran Boston off the court lastyear.The stars are still there.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at cen-ter, coming up on his 41stbirthday, Marvelous MagicJohnson, unsung but not un-derrated Michael Cooper, and,of course, the shooting starknown as James Worthy.Coach Pat Riley has been

driving the Lakers hard allseason, reminding them thaif they want a second conseutive title, they will hayto earn it.

As ever, there is an un-official battle on betweenLos Angeles and Boston forthe ultimate home court ad-vantage in the playoffs.

Right now, the Lakers havea slight edge.

Award winners -- Winners at a recent awards ceremony posewith their trophies. (Photo by JOSA Dirk Rose)

The hopes and hearts ofmost American ski fans willbe with a young lady namedTamara McKinney in the WinterOlympics, which get underwayon Saturday in Calgary,Canada.McKinney has enough courage

for an entire team, much lessone individual. She is givena chance to win a medal inthe slalom or the giantslalom in the competitionthis Saturday and Sunday.Last November, McKinney

suffered a fractured leg andseemed destined to watch the

winter games from thesidelines.

But she had the heart andthe dedication to fight herway back into competition. Inthree months she was not onlyskiing but doing well. Sherecently competed in theSubaru U.S. National AlpineChampionships.McKinney won the women's

slalom and finished third inthe giant slalom. She wasdelighted, of course, andsaid it did wonders for hermorale, which had not beenfractured last November but

which had at least beensprained.

McKinney has talent and shewill need all of it to getany kind of a medal atCalgary. She has won 18 WorldCup ski events for women andis the only American woman toclaim a World Cup seasontitle.

One U.S. ski official,Harold Schoenhaar, said earlythis week: "she will have totake it up another notch forOlympic competition but I'mconfident she can do it."
