Weather VA MAIM FRONTS: Warm CcW "The acoustics of the room are decreased after the asbestos problem is corrected," said Stapley, adding that total removal of asbestos is very expensive since it has to be done under a controlled atmosphere.

"It could cost hundreds of millions of dollars to bring schools in Utah up to compliance," said Beaver County School District Superintendant Lynn Haslem. Since there aren't many schools in his district, Haslem did not request an extension: but turned in the paperwork last fall. "We prioritized our needs in terms of severity," he said. The district took the asbestos out of the boiler room in Miners ville High School and indicated that other problems would be corrected as the district was financially able. "We can't meet requirements without a cash flow from the government," said Haslem, adding he thinks he would be more likely to get lead poisoning from using pencils than get cancer from asbestos in the schools.

"There has never been an asbestos-related death in our district," he said. "Removing asbestos will be extremely expensive. I am uncertain exactly how much it would cost our district. The cost of correcting the asbestos situation is a problem for other dis- dangerous asbestos is the "flyable" kind, said Stapley. Most often this kind was used to insulate pipes in boiler or furnace rooms.

The presence of such asbestos calls for immediate action and districts with flyable asbestos are required to either have it removed or encapsulated, he added. According to Stapley, his district received an extension until July 1989 and an $8,000 grant from EPA to fix dangerous asbestos situations. In order to encapsulate flyable asbestos in furnace rooms, trained workers must wrap muslin around the pipes to contain the asbestos. Another common place to find asbestos in public schools is on the ceiling and floors. "The asbestos in floors is a solid type that is waxed into the tile and cannot get in the air," said Stapley, adding that a plan of action for this type of asbestos must include an agreement that no holes will be drilled into the floor.

This would cause the asbestos to escape into the air. In some rooms, asbestos was sprayed on the ceilings to improve the acoustics. This asbestos can be flyable so districts with this type of asbestos in their schools are being required to paint over the ceiling to seal it. Dawn De Busk Staff witter CEDAR CITY The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has requested that all public schools in the nation be inspected for asbestos problems, but schools in southern Utah are having a difficult time coming up with the funds and manpower to meet the requirements. Under the EPA laws, school districts had until the fall of 1988 to fill out assessment reports, verifying that inspections on asbestos had been completed in their jurisdiction and that a plan of action for compliance with EPA standards had been formulated.

However, all school districts in southwestern Utah, with the exception of Beaver County, have asked Congress for an extension to complete the inspection and paper work. Most districts discovered that there were too many schools to inspect within the allotted time frame and not enough money to get the inspections completed, said Iron County School District Superintendent DeeEl Stapley. According to the EPA standards, all asbestos which is not sealed in a protective covering has to be removed from all public schools.

Engelstad could eventually face fines or license revocation because of the Gaming Control Board accusations.

Besides Engelstad, dispell and Clyne, the witness list includes prep sent and former hotel executives-, Joseph Cronin, the Minden, Nevi attorney who filed the civil suit against the hotel and Joe Dickey, former restoration manager for Engelstad's classic car collection. Marlaina Quinn Taylor, a cocktail waitress and artist whom Engelstad allegedly asked to paint his portrait dressed like Hitler, is also expected to be called to testify at the hearing. Engelstad has publicly admitted he held Adolf Hitler birthday 'parties at the resort, but he has denied that the bashes were held in honor of the Nazi leader. He has since apologized for his insensitivity in holding the parties.

Box 250, St. George, Utah, 84770. Mann went on to say it was possible that 100 percent of the claims would not be paid. The Water Conservancy District policy only covered up to $1 million in liability. According to Mann, the worst thing that could happen to slow up payment of the claims would be for everyone to run out to their lawyer.

"We are considering placing the entire $1 million with the court as a show of our good faith," Mann said. "The court would then be responsible for the disbursement of the funds. If everybody files a lawsuit, then it all has to go through the system and could take years." Mann said it was estimated the assessment of the work would take two months to complete.

Lind's involvement with space and the space program goes far beyond just his flight on the Spacelab-3 mission," Johnson said. "He worked at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration God-dard Space Flight Center as a space physicist and at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif. "He also served as backup science pilot for Skylab 3 and Skylab 4, the second and third manned Skylab missions, and as a member of the rescue crew for those two Skylab missions. He brings a real depth of space experience," said Johnson. In 1974, Lind was awarded the NASA Exceptional Servcie Medal.

While at the Goddard Flight Center and before his selection to April of 1966 as an astronaut, Lind was involved in experiment to determine the nature and properties of low energy particles within the earth's magnetospere and in interplanetary space. Lind is still involved in space research as part of his duties at USU. A current experiment is aboard an orbiting satellite that is scheduled to be returned to earth in November. He has also submitted a plan to NASA to build a satellite in Utah. A native of Midvale, Lind graduated from Jordon High School and from the University of Utah where he received a bachelor's degree with high honors in physics in 1953.

He earned a Ph.D. in high energy nuclear physics at the University of California, Berkeley, and performed postdoctoral study at the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska. Lind is married to the former Kathleen Maughan of Logan. They have seven children. by Rick Culdan Staff writer ST.

GEORGE People who suffered damage from the New Year's Day Dike break at Quail Creek Reservoir need to follow a few simple instructions in order for their insurance claims to be processed. Dale Mann, an independent adjuster who is handling the claims for Trans America Insurance company, carriers of the Washington County Water Conservancy District's liability insurance, told Toe Daily Spectrum they were making an effort to asses the damages and begin honoring claims. "We want people to know we aren't running away from anything," Mann said. "We are trying to get a clear picture on the total damages. If people follow the instructions, we'll be able to do that much quicker and much easier." The instructions Mann wants people to adhere to are as follows: Take photos of the damages.

Videos are great for the individual but the insurance adjuster doesn't have time to watch movies.

The program will begin at 11a.m. in the Centrum.

Because of the renovation at the SUSC Auditorium, all winter quarter Convocations will be held at the Centrum. There is no admission charge. Land, who is currently a professor of physics at Utah State University, was a mission specialist on STS51-B, the Spacelab-3 science mission. He was aboard the Orbiter Challenger which was launched from Kennedy Space Center, April 29,1985. The Challenger landed at Edwards Air Fore Base, May 6 after completing 110 orbits of the earth.

A United States flag which flew on the Spacelab-3 flight will be presented to SUSC in honor of Lind's father-in-law J. Howard Maughan, who served as the seventh president of the college. The flag was designated for presentation to the college in honor of Maughan before the flight. President Maughan's wife and SUSC President Gerald R. Sherratt will participate in the brief ceremony.

The Spacelab-3 mission involved a seven-member crew which conducted investigations in crystal growth, drop dynamics leading to containerless material processing, atmospheric trace gas spectroscopy, solar and planetary atmospheric simulation, cosmic rays, and medical monitoring of humans and laboratory animals. It was after completing technical debriefing of the Spacelab-3 mission that Lind resigned, effective June 20, 1986, as an astronaut to move on to another of his goals, teaching at a university. 3 to be called as witnesses in case against Engelstad 06-01 74 50 00-05 .02 29 24 .03 64 72 39 28 31-05 Los Angeles Louisville Memphis Miami Beach Milwaukee Minneapolis Nashville 54 36 66 36 74 52 76 72 43 34 33 14 70 41 3D 66 56 51 47 New Orleans 7 OB 34 24 .06 52 37 36 12 A3 .02 New York 53 35 63 43 56 35 Oklahoma City irmana Orlando Philadelphia Phoenix Pittsburgh 79 55 36 26 54 34 56 32 60 71 27 36 41 62 21 15 31 26 48 29 56 66 Portlanf Portland 25 14 36 28 .03 33 20 -40 36 -SB 44 41 80 68 39 .04 51 40 a 83 70 37 26 .08 19 79 00 36 32 40 29 Ore. 30 41 02 RteNnond 26 31 16 83 69 79 71 62 30 78 50 80 56 41 23 43 26 75 57 San San San San Seattle Antonio Diego Francisco .03 Tampa Washington Wichita northern Utah on Monday.

The logging plan would "take away a substantial amount of raw material from domestic sawmills," Lynch said. "Currently, timber sales on national forest and BLM (Bureau of Land Management) lands in the West all must be milled at domestic mills," Lynch said in a telephone interview from Washington, D.C. "This would permit shipments of those logs in log form overseas, taking away a substantial supply of raw material" to domestic sawmills.

Lynch said AuCoin's office confirmed the upcoming announcements with "a number of sources," but he refused to identify them. Under the second proposal, counties that get a share of receipts the Forest Service and Department of the Interior receive from timber sales or leases for development of oil, gas and minerals on federal lands would be required to deduct the cost of fighting fires from those revenues, Lynch said. LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) Imperial Palace owner Ralph Engelstad, General Manager Ed dispell and Engelstad's brother-in-law, Richard Clyne, are three of 17 witnesses the State Gaming Control Board intends to call in the board's case against the resort owner, a deputy attorney general said Friday. Deputy Attorney General for Gaming Scott Scherer released the list to Engelstad's attorney George Dicker-son Friday.

Dickerson intends to ask the witnesses to give depositions. The depositions will help the lawyer prepare Engelstad's defense. Scherer plans to begin calling the witnesses at a special Feb. 24 hearing of the Nevada Gaming Commission which will listen to Gaming Control Board charges that Engelstad discredited the Nevada gaming industry by idolizing Adolf Hitler. Engelstad is also charged with ordering the destruction of hotel security records that might have jeopardized the resort's position in a civil suit that has been filed against it.

Department of Agriculture will announce Monday that the )lan would allow shipments of raw ogs overseas, said Kevin Lynch, a spokesman for AuCoin. The administration is expected to say the proposal will raise revenues to reduce the federal deficit, said Lynch, a legislative assistant for AuCoin who sat in on a U.S. Forest Service briefing about the proposal. A prohibition on the export of raw logs has been in place about 20 years.
