Prosecution would be diffi- i cult Weseman said he had almost abandoned the in- vestigation before the two eyewitnesses came for- ward. There wouldnt be as much fuss if the nest hadnt been so highly visible, said Weseman, who couldnt remember another case like this one in his 16 years with the department.

If someone were cleaning a mud swallow out of an eave, I doubt if anyone would say, Go out and give him a ticket, Weseman said. Ringgenberg and Chase told attorney Chuck Sherokc what they saw after reading an editorial in the Nickels Worth by Sheroke condemning Haga-; done Hospitality for allowing the nest to be re-; moved. Sheroke, a Sanders Beach area resident, spotted the nest missing during a walk about three weeks ago and reported the matter to the regional Department of Fish and Game office. Contacted by phone, Sheroke scoffed after being told the corps had given Hagadone Hospitality mission to remove the pilings. Thats like asking Attila the Hun if you can rape and plunder, Sheroke said.

The corps has a history of environmental destruction. They dont, protect the wetlands. Workers are accused of ruining birds home By D.F. Oliveria Staff writer COEUR dALENE Workers removing pilings offshore from The Coeur dAlene resort golf course development destroyed an occupied osprey nest, two eyewitnesses said last week. But tugboat operator Skip Murphy said the two were lying through their teeth because the nest had been destroyed a month earlier by a windstorm.

There were osprey around there, but there wasnt any nest, Murphy said Sunday. They were sitting on the pilings like sea gulls do. I wont mess with an osprey nest. Were not in the business of ruining the habitat around here. Destroying an osprey nest is a state Fish and Game misdemeanor violation punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and six months in jail.

Osprey are plentiful around Lake Coeur dAlene and protected by state and federal law as are other migratory birds like robins and sparrows. That nest was there as long as I can remember, and Im 22, said Tim Chase bitterly. It was neat to watch the young ones bail out of the nest for the first time and then make four or five passes before they could get the landing gear down to get back in. Chase and Dave Ringgenberg say the Murphy Marine Construction crew knocked the nest into I a left Coeur dAlene while an agitated family of osprey swirled overhead. The two men were part of a crew salvaging submerged logs a couple of hundred yards away.

The mom, dad and kids were flying around, said Chase. When the nest was gone, they sat on the other pilings for about three days. They just sat there as if to say, What the hell happened to our home? Then they were gone. Ringgenberg said twigs, branches and feathers floated on the water for several days afterward. Too bad its a misdemeanor," he said.

I wish it was a felony. Fish and Game Department investigator Wayne Weseman isnt sure a law was broken even if the nest was occupied. The birds were already fledged," said Weseman. They wouldnt have been injured by the nest coming down in September. Weseman said he also has learned from a U.S.

Retired fireman Howard Brenna heard, Were trapped. Help, on his personal radio scanner near Station 32 in West Seattle, the Seattle Times reported Sunday in a copyright story.

Firefighters at the West Seattle station also heard a distress call, said Lt. David Cass at Station 32. But it was assumed officials at the scene heard the same calls. The calls were from William Meredith and Matthew Johnson. Johnson died of smoke inhalation in the Sept.

At 4 a.m., youd hear screams outside the window and see people running in all directions, Houston, 31, said in an interview in Hong Kong, where shes now studying Chinese after leaving China on June 19. It was sort of frantic and people didnt really know whether troops were going to come into the city. In the end, the government paid 100,000 factory workers to remove barricades and restore calm in the city. Meanwhile, most foreigners fled and Houston found herself and only a handful of Russians, Germans and Chinese security police remaining in a 10-building apartment complex. officials, hotel rooms, overseas telephone conversations and local calls within foreign residential neighborhoods of the capital are bugged.

Whether or not theyre right, their suspicions suggest a climate of fear. You cant miss the surveillance cameras positioned above dozens of street intersections, in museums and hotels. Under martial-law regulations in effect in Beijing since May, foreign journalists and Chinese citizens can be arrested for interviews that arent officially authorized. Reporters oftfen must operate more like spies than news gatherers. Virtually all foreign reporters except full-time correspondents stationed in Beijing came to China as I did, under the false pretense of a tourist visa.

I never tell people" whom I meet for the first time that Im a reporter. If I did, they would run away quickly, said a French radio reporter who also uses a fake name on the air to protect herself from possible government retaliation. An American photographer said she usually hides her cameras in an oversized purse. ANTI-AMERICANISM I was shaken by the sight of soldiers with machine guns ringing the U.S. Embassy in Beijing at 30-yard intervals.

Theyre there because Chi qualifications, then took steps to evict her from her insect-and vermin-infested apartment. After she joined a human-rights group and began to speak against the government, the KGB made it clear to her that it was in her best interests to leave the Soviet Union. They were very polite, she said. They told me, You dont like our system, maybe you go out? Taking all $145 of her pension, a small suitcase and her dogs, Muravilova went first to Vienna, then Rome, where she pumped gas to keep herself and her dogs, Chapel and Blondy, fed. She then went to New York under the sponsorship of World Relief, a refugee resettlement agency based in Wheaton, 111.

She was to go from there to Cashmere, a community of about 2,000 near Wenatchee, but sponsors there could not accommodate her two dogs. Trinity Lutheran Church, meanwhile, was preparing to host Viktor and Lidiya Napelenok and their seven children, ages 3 to 18. The church, which has about 200 baptized members, had voted in February to sponsor religious refugees and raised $2,749 through donations and pie sales. Two days before the Napelenoks arrival in Spokane June 16, the church was asked if it also could find a place for Muravilova. The Napelenoks and the Dereven-chuks, another family that arrived last month, fit in well, said Jacobson, with town residents finding them humorous and personable.

It has not been so easy for Muravilova, who Jacobson said has a more pessimistic attitude toward life than and Seattle Fire Chief Claude Harris has asked the National Fire Protec-tion Association to look into the mat- -ter. No conclusions have been drawn as to why the transmissions were heard in West Seattle and not at the fire scene, said Capt. Mike Brooks, safety officer for the Fire Department. We are working very hard on it, said Eric Tabb, the industrial hygienist investigating the fire for Labor and Industries. Tabb has not said when the agencys final report will be completed, but said it should be done well before the six-month period required by-state law.

Fire Department radios use eight frequencies with four modes each. A certain frequency is used at fire scenes.

SEE THEM AT THIS LOCATION Rosauers Supermarket E. 2610-29th Spokane Oct. 8, 9, 10 Tue. Noon to 6 p.m. I wasnt afraid for me.

I was afraid for the students because they are so young, so idealistic and so foolish in many ways, she said. They dont understand the power of the army or the government. Weeks before the violence, the journalism and composition classes Houston had been teaching at the International Studies University since the previous fall were canceled because of student demonstrations against the government. After June 4, Houston abandoned her dream of teaching English this fall at Beijing University because the Chinese government wont allow foreigners to teach at the school where the student unrest began. nas most famous dissident, astrophysicist Fang Lizhi, is being harbored inside.

The Chinese government is stirring up anti-foreign feelings, and fills even its English-language newspaper with headlines such as (Premier) Li warns of outside subversion in coping with the West. Even hundreds of miles from Beijing, fear keeps some Chinese citizens from discussing the most innocent subjects with outsiders. One night I asked a young electronics engineer in Shanghai about his career goals. Instead of saying he hoped to be a manager, an inventor or a college professor, he nervously replied, Thats a political question and we cant talk about it. LURING FOREIGN MONEY To finance economic development, China needs foreign currency from tourism and business investment.

Even in a normally popular place like Xian, hotels have cut their rates by 20 percent and will accept the cheap, local currency that tourists buy on the black market. But most hotels are only 20 percent to 40 percent full. Business people say the government has been pleading with them to return. Many are doing so, but not to start new projects. After the country opened its econo most of her new neighbors.

Its been much more difficult for our people, he said. I have been very proud of them that they have stuck in there. They could have cut her off, as can happen in any small community. To make ends meet financially, Muravilova gets $314 a month in state assistance and food stamps, with $100 going toward her rent. But Muravilova needs something to give her a sense of purpose, said Jacobson, and hours of searching for some meaningful work have been fruitless.

Washington State University offered her a teaching assistant position in a Russian language class, but it paid only $157 a semester. Other area colleges and the University of Washington have had nothing to offer, and a dozen or so churches contacted in Seattle have not been able to find any place for her to live. up in strife Houston believes the current state of affairs in China isnt promising. My students are very lonely and very depressed. Theyve been writing to me constantly, she said, adding, Im not optimistic at all about any change quickly.

She believes Chinas crisis stems mostly from the lack of hope among students for their future. So many of the good jobs were given to officials children. They all felt there wasnt a point to study if it wouldnt get you anywhere when you were finished. They have a saying: The more you study, the poorer you will become. my in 1984, capital poured in for hotels and other joint ventures to produce cars, medicine and Western consumer products.

Most existing projects are going forward, but new investment is at a halt, said Mao Guo Liang, assistant commercial attache at the US. Consulate in Shanghai. The political troubles gave many overseas companies an excuse to bail out of a country where rapid growth has caused a severe shortage of raw materials and energy. The upheaval in Beijing repelled the foreip governments and banks upon whom China relies for loans. The problem the Chinese have now is a huge image problem, and thats going to take them a few years to get over, said one American businessman with six years of experience in China.

But an equally knowledgeable American executive said, The Chinese really need to continue with their economic programs and they cant do it without the foreigners money, technology and management support. But I am concerned how far it will swing to the hardline Communists. Chinese history is full of surprise turns, and more than once the country has raised great walls against outsiders. At this point in time, I have no idea what Galina will be doing, Jacobson said. The main thing for me is to find some way to help my people, Muravilova said while walking her dogs along a nearly deserted street in downtown Endicott.

Part of the problem, said Linda Unseth, World Reliefs resettlement director for Eastern Washington, is local relief groups have been so busy getting refugees settled upon first arriving here that it has been difficult to make longer-term arrangements. In addition, Muravilova has been hard to place because of her dogs, Unseth said. In that respect, Muravilova agrees that part of the problem is her own. I like my dogs, although they tie my hands, she said. If it were not for my dogs, I would be in New York.

LAST CHANCE AT PROMO PRICES! ON DISPLAY 3 DAYS ONLY THE ONE PIECE FIBERGLASS GARAGE SOLAR PRISM GREENHOUSE By Lonnie Rosenwald Stff writer HONG KONG When all hell bijjke loose on Chinas university campuses last April, a former Spokane television reporter witnessed the turmoil firsthand. During a chaotic week following thff killing of civilians by government troops in Beijing on June 4, former KHQ reporter and anchorwoman Holly Houston would wake to the sounds of panic in the streets outside hef apartment in Shanghai, where she was teaching. -Public transportation and food deliveries came to a halt for four days in the! city of 13 million, and rumors sWfrled of the imminent arrival of the CONTINUED: FROM A1 China and even Dutch travelers. The U.S. Embassy estimates there were 8,000 Americans in China on June 4.

During a three-week visit to five Chinese cities in September, the onlj American tourists I met were a group from the University of California studying ethnic minorities, two standard tours from Florida and California and a handful of individual travelers. The government keeps most tourists; from discovering the darker aspects of Chinese life by segregating them in foreigners-only hotels. Foreign tour companies steer tourists toward the few government-operated restaurants that have English-lan-gufge menus and also separate floors and prices for foreigners and-shuttle them in air-conditioned buses between the ruins, temples and model factories that give them a chiming, Disneyesque view of China." THE REAL CHINA But a few outsiders, including diplomats, journalists and travelers who speak Chinese, see a different coun-tryrlts filled with repression, suspicion; harassment and anti-Western propaganda, though Beijing is far more Orwellian than other parts of the enormous country. According to Western diplomatic CONTINUED: FROM A1 Exile the Difficulties of adjusting to a new culture, he said, future emigrants will find a diminishing pool of sponsors an resources, limiting how and where they can make a new life in the United States. Jhats going to be a challenge for us in the years ahead, in the months ahead, with the tens of thousands that are going to be looking forward to coming, Jacobson said.

(A a sense, Muravilova landed in onet)f the more Russian communities in the United States. Like many of Whitman Countys towns, Endicott was settled by Volga Germans in the early 1880s after the Russian Senate revolted the terms of their settlement on the lower Volga River. But the ancestry of Muravilovas neighbors here is essentially German, andjhe life they lead is nothing like whaj she knew in Russia. A graduate of Leningrad University with a degree in philology and education, Muravilova, 43, taught Russia language and literature in the northern city of Norilsk and then at the ningrad Pedagogical Institute. From there, she took work as the teacher of a Leningrad teen-ager clufis angering Communist Party officials by letting a Christian rock roltSroup perform and then discuss-ing religion with the teens.

They couldnt imagine that I would do such a thing, said Muravi-lov an animated woman whose coityprsational tone can quickly move from excitement about Dostoyevsky to disgust over Gorbachev. I couldnt imagine myself that I would do this. Party officials soon questioned her THE The Solar Prism Greenhouse keeps Itself warm In winter, and cool in summer.
