This facility is required to ob tain an air contamination discharge permit from DEQ. The expected types and levels of pollution from the facility operating approximately 8,760 hours a year are: Particulate 79 tons a year; Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) 263 tons a year; Carbon Monoxide (CO) 513 tons a year; and Volatile Organic Com pounds, 25 tons a year. In the cases of particulate NOx and CO. the levels of pollution are greater than the levels where ambient air quality may be af fected. However, the area in which this facility is proposed currently meets all federal stan dards for air quality, and model ing of the impacts indicates they will be within acceptable limits.

Gray said that the course “was very intense. It was a lot of work.” The course covered contracts, uniform commercial code, con stitutional criminal procedures, property, remedies and torts. Gray emphasizes that the funds which enabled her to take the course were provided on a scholarship basis. Everything, except for $300 of the costs, was provided by the scholarship, in cluding books, lodging, tuition and videotapes. Gray estimates that the scholarship grant amounted to around $4,500. I By Mertyn Robineon It’s easy to become a couch potato while watching the winter Olym pics on television. Those highly-skilled athletes in top shape make me aware that each of us could improve on our own physiques. However my favorite exercise involves the use of my fingers and mouth. Too bad that those Olympic participants can’t all be medal win ners. YBars of hard work and dedication go into being selected for this event. The United States can be proud of having some of the finest athletes in the world who are making a great showing. Too bad that the U.S. is now famous for an ice skating saga that has nothing to do with talent. From the cozy view point in our living room, watching the Olym pics is better than being there in person, me thinks. I wouldn’t make a very good Viking in that land where temperatures hoover around zero. Somehow I’ve lost my enthusiasm for snowballs and sledding. And I don’t have a yen to drive a reindeer or ride in a sleigh pulled by fuzzy Norwegian Fjord horses. It’s unreal how those hardy, Norwegians make a heyday of camping out in the snow and cold. According to the media, the expensive laundry situation there leaves some Americans wondering if the Norwegians freeze-dry their clothes for sanitation or if they just keep switching layers. But it’s amazing that with plenty of forethought the small city of Lillehammer can accommodate so many people. Temporary housing for the Olympics will be used in other parts! of Norway, they say. But how they managed to tunnel under a froze* hill to build another ice pavilion is unbelievable. I guess residents^ on top of that hill, like Californians, survived months of shaking from all that blasting. Ski and luge runs there were built so as to avoid cutting many trees. However it’s a wonder that there weren't objections to infringing on moose habitat. Farmers there were assigned to feeding hay to the moose to keep them away from the area. With all the other risks that these athletes take, they could easily become mincemeat from meeting a moose on a downhill run. Since our area here isn’t conducive to training for most winter Olympics, perhaps an option is to get in shape for the St. Patrick’s bedraces. But for those that are hesitant about becoming a public figure or the chance of falling down, they can quietly search for clues leading to the hidden shamrock that will beget $90 worth of silver Oregon Trail commemorative medallions. Meanwhile don’t forget to dry out your Irish walking stick and concoct a parade entry. ‘'Personalize Your Gift Photo by Joyce Hughes Sara Greenup (20) fights for a rebound against Umatilla Vikings.
