The
annual
Plym outh
Trouble Shooting Contest,
which turns school work into a
challenging sport, will bring
together
the
top
auto
mechanics students of this area
April 16 at Mt. Hood Com
munity College.
The students will be com
peting in one of 100 regional
contests being held in all 50
states this spring under the
sponsorship of Plym outh
dealers and participating
schools.
Regional contest winners
receive all-expense trips to the
National Trouble Shooting
finals at Dellas June 16,17 and
18.
In addition to the trip, prizes
and awards in the National
Finals are worth more than
990.000 in college scholarships
and other prizes for the con
testants.
At the National Finals, each
member of each first-place
team wins a 92,500 scholarship.
A total of 937,000 worth of
scholarships is offered.
Each team that places in the
national finals receives a
trophy and a set of tools for its
school.
Trouble Shooters, sometimes
called "Road Scholars,” have
to hit the books before they can
hit the road to Dallas and the
national finals. They have to be
outstanding in their classes to
qualify for a regional contest,
and they must be top students
and auto mechanics to win in
the regional meet.
Team s
consist
of
two
students, who are assigned to a
new car in which a series of
m alfunctions
have
been
deliverately placed. Malfunc
tions in all cars are identical,
and all are related to the
electrical, starting, ignition,
fuel systems and body hard
ware of the cars. Teams race
the clock and each other to find
and fix the “bugs” and restore
their cars to normal running
order.
To win, however, a team
must receive high marks in a
written examination which is
part of the contest Bnd which
contributes to the final score.
The program is sponsored by
the schools and Plymouth
dealers in the area as a means
of encouraging students to
complete their education.
In all, 25 high schools and
eight community colleges will
take part in the competition at
MHCC.
Family fight ends

A family fight apparently
ended in a murder-suicide in
Troutdale Sunday.
Andreia Lee Schnepp, 23,
14988 SE Stark St. was found
buried in a shallow grave at a
nursery located near Strebin
Road and Division by Mult-
nomah County sheriff’s of-
ficers.
Her husband Lloyd Gene, 20,
of the same address was found
beside the grave, dead from an

Does the area
"export”electricity
to California?
Í
Mrs. Schnepp had been
stabbed several times in the
chest and was strangled, ac-
cording to Multnomah County
Medical Examiner’s reports,
Schnepp had pounded on the
ctoor at the home of his brother,
Jeff • w l y Sunday and told him
t*e tiad killed his wife, ac-
cording to sheriffs reports.
After accompanying Schnepp
t0 the grave, the brother left to
call the sheriffs office. While
he was gone, Schnepp shot
himself, reports state.
A
Yes it does.
The power that is “ exported” out
of this region is primarily surplus.
For example, when water condi
tions are good, the region’s storage
reservoirs can be filled, all area
electric loads can be met and there
is still enough water to generate
more electricity than the region’s
needs. E le c t r ic it y th a t is n o t
needed cannot be “ stored” so it is
sold or “ exported” on the north-
south intertie system to other areas
that are now short. Often it is to re
pay “ borrowed” power which we
were loaned when our needs ex
ceeded supply. It makes economic
sense. It saves customers money.
The water used to produce this
power would otherwise have been
wasted as it flows directly down
stream into the ocean.
