Dr. Rosalvn Yalow of New York City, the 1977 Nobel winner for medicine, said residents would face "rather trivial amounts of radioactive exposure" from the dump. Yalow said the radiation from the dump would probably be less than people face in everyday life. She also said that without a dump, valuable research and medical gains obtained by using nuclear technology in medicine would be lost.

Siting commission Chairman Angelo Orazio said the court papers v.ould be filed within a week or two. Under federal law. New York must have a place to dispose of low-level radioactive waste, produced by nuclear power plants, industry and hospitals, by 1993.

In all honesty, we have never really been south of the border in our eight weeks of life. We were born right here in Ithaca.

Rumor has it that our father was a dachshund, so we expect to stay small all of our lives. Right now we only weigh in at four pounds each.

We found out we can be congenial with just about any creatures but we really prefer human beings. They know how to snuggle the best.

Since some Chihuahuas can be just a bit hard to house break, we are hoping to be adopted to new home where there is someone there all day. Little dogs love lots of company! If you think that you would like a dog who is easy to take all kinds of places, will not take up much room on the couch and will keep the pet food bill down, then one of us is the pup for you. If you are looking for a puppy like us but in black or white, there is another Chihuahua mix litter just PEOPLE i jr Poncho and Chico a few cages down from us.

"But I don't care what you try, they don't always work. Sooner or later deer make the association of being hunted with the scent and spook. "They're not that stupid. There are only two or three things to worry about in their life, and one thing is strange scents." What the Sheldons did was turn the attractive-scent idea around and develop a mixture of natural aromas that overpower and cover up human odors. "We've tried to come up with the ideal scent," said Brian, a supervisor at a tool and diemaking firm, "using things you find in the fall lots of leaves like maple, oak and poplar some moss something like 58 ingredients now, and we're still making refinements.
