DEQ schedules hearing on Coyote Springs
RHS students to
attend festival
of process steam to other in
dustrial users in the immediate
area.
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.
Because of the levels of par-
Riverside High School students
are among the 12,000 participants

Wightman.
According to Lynn Skinner,
festival director, about the same
number of enthusiastic jazz fans
as a year ago are expected to
come for one or more days of the
four day event which kicks off
with the Pepsi International
World Jazz Concert at 7 p.m.
Feb. 23.
A “Tribute to Hamp” concert
was held Feb. 22.
In addition to winners concerts
Feb. 25 and 26, there will be a
Delta Air Lines Special Guest

at 7 p.m. in the Riverside High
School auditorium. An informal
question and answer session is
scheduled at 6 p.m. prior to the
formal hearing .
The Portland General Electric
(PGE) company proposed to

cle cogeneration facility in Board

combustion turbines fueled by
natural gas, two heat recovery
steam generators, two steam tur
bines and two 300,000 pound per
hour auxiliary boilers. The facili
ty would supply approximately
492 megawatts of electricity to
PGE and have a capacity to supp
ly about 600.000 pounds per hour
ticulate, NOx and CO, this facili
ty is required to implement best

classes and then another four
months of homework and final
exams.
Gray says that the course gives
her “a better understanding of the
law.” She added that it helped
her in analyzing cases and finding
cases that apply to certain situa
tions. “It enhances my analytical
skills,” she said. 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.

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.
