Carburetion our specialty City gets payback for oil clean-up A local firm will reim burse the city of Sandy for costs it incurred when workers at the sewage treatment plant cleaned up 50 gallons of diesel oil that inadvertently spilled into a storm drain and made its way to the plant. As a result of that reim bursement—and steps taken to prevent the inci dent from repeating- the city this week sent a letter to the Department of En vironmental Quality asking that the agency consider the cooperation should a fine be imposed An oil spill at Sandy Oil Company Sept 9 resulted in the discharge of approx imately 50 gallons of diesel oil into the treatment plant The plant’s bacteria population, used in the treatment process, was destroyed, according to Bob Hornsby, plant superintendent The spill occurred when a worker left a tank truck unattended while it was be ing filled. That resulted in the discharge of nearly 300 gallons of the fuel onto the ground In addition to the oil be ing toxic to the bacteria, the oi' had to be skimmed and removed from the treatment tanks holding 500,000 gallons of water at the plant That task took numerous man hours to ac complish, Hornsby said. Cost of the cleanup was 133144. which Sandy Oil representatives have agreed to pay to the city. "Our polishing pond was empty when the spill occur red and within a period of five to 10 minutes after the oil reached the plant we were able to stop discharg ing into Tickle Creek and direct all flow Into the polishing pond,” Hornsby said in a letter to DEQ following the incident Two weeks after the spill, Hornsby and City Engineer Greg DiLoreto met with Mike Calkins, manager of Sandy Oil Company, to discuss ways to prevent future run-offs from reaching the man hole and storm drain at Pleasant and Revenue Streets, should a similar accident occur. Calkins agreed to install a speed bump-like curb bet ween Sandy Oil and the downhill slope leading to the man hole. That curbing was installed Sept. 29. DEQ representatives, however, told Hornsby that S»ndy Oil will probably be fined between *500 and *15,000 for the violation. Local ordinance allows a fine not to exceed *300, im prisonment of not more than 100 days, or both That was waived because of Calkins' cooperation.

At least that's how State Senator Ruth McFarland (D-Boring) thinks some voters see her The Gresham college science professor who op poses U.S. Rep. Denny Smith in the new Congres sional District 5 dissects her political approach dif ferently, however She’s for a nuclear arms freeze, military cuts, aid for seniors, education for technological advance ment, new energy in cluding safer nuclear plants and jobs, jobs, jobs. "Forget the old myth that war creates jobs,' she said, noting a recent study showed only 14,000 jobs created by *1 million spent on military against 65,000 jobs created in education. Two-thirds of what we sell and export are ser vices, mostly communica tions," she said Education for high technology could make the country a rich world leader again, she said “Hence, we cannot cut our education,” she said "We should refurbish it.” For every 1 percent of unemployment reduced na tionally, she said, another *15 billion is put back into a financially shaky Social Security System with more wage earners making more contributions Parakeet drops in on class K parakeet dropped in for a visit at Sandy Union High School earlier this week The cobalt blue bird flew into Georgia Lenon’s American literature class through an open second- story window and stayed for about an hour, or well into the vocabulary and spelling class Lenon figures someone has lost a pet SUHS junior Shirley Maitland is keeping the parakeet until its owner can be found The owner may contact Lenon at the high school. She scorned military stockpiling and contract overruns The teacher- turned-politician also scorns her Republican op ponent's record of voting "for every military spen ding issue to come down the pike.” The national deficit could be reduced painfully by 29 percent budget cuts in all areas including social ser vices and education, she said, or less painfully by hefty military cuts. She also favors the Moynihan Bill before Con gress that seeks to get the national economy moving by a study of infrastructure reform. Such improvement of roads, bridges, canals and other basic facilities "would put Oregon in the cat-bird seat,” she said. McFarland advocates economic development of Oregon as gateway to the Pacific rim states for trade in the west. She attacked Smith’s record on Social Security, taxes and senior citizen issues, declaring, “We must quit treating human beings like they are disposable units.” She advocates tax credits for wage earners forced out of dying industries toward new industries and also for companies that relocte in sites of closed plants. "We can’t neglect our training programs,” she said of new industry in an American reindustrializa tion. “Cutting funding for them would be cutting off our nose to spite our face It's like eating seed corn or the milk cow, just because times are tough ” IHN Main 666 IM95 Gresham BENSON & HEDGES She thinks decreased dependence on Middle East oil would be an economic step in the right direction, too. "I would like to see work on research to deal better with disposable waste in nuclear energy," she said. "We’re certainly not going to turn our backs on it, although nuclear energy has fallen on hard times lately." .■ ¿food & Fine Spaghetti!
