The tobacco industry has been severely critical of the EPA's passive smoking report, which was released in two successive drafts before the final report was leaked earlier this week. Asked about complaints from the tobacco industry that the report set its confi-. dence level at 90 percent rather than 95 percent, Dr.

Sullivan lashed out at "the ridiculous position of the tobacco industry. I know of no industry that has so little credibility in the eyes of the public," he said. Reilly said the 90 percent confidence level was recommended by members of the scientific tion's smoggiest cities, would give an advantage to the corn growers and other groups supporting the package. Separately, Reilly formally released a study declaring passive smoke a Class A lung carcinogen. Reilly said that roughly 20 percent of all lung cancers caused by factors other than smoking were attributable to environmental tobacco smoke, a risk he placed at "about one in 1,000." "In other words," said Reilly, "the risks associated with environmental tobacco smoke are at least an order of magnitude considerably more than they are for virtually any chemical or risk that EPA regulates." Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan, who also attended the news conference, said the National Center for Health Statistics completed a report on the matter too recently to be considered in Thursday's EPA report.

and Chrysler said he was unable to comment until he saw the waiver. But he said that "we would be disappointed" if it didn't include certain caveats requested by the auto industry, among which was exclusion from the waiver of the requirement that all California vehicles be emission-free by 2003. Don Zinger, assistant EPA director for the office of mobile sources, said the waiver didn't include the caveats requested by the auto industry. In addition, despite protests from environmental groups, the EPA is hoping to propose the special regulatory treatment the Bush administration previously announced for ethanol under the Clean Air Act. Plans to issue the proposal, which was designed to encourage use of the corn-derived fuel additive, were announced before the election.

Final action would occur under the Clinton administration. The environmental groups contend that even issuing the proposal, which would be part of a package of proposed rules requiring cleaner-burning fuel in the na- Olga Rosemary Castro Baum Vigil services will be today for Olga Rosemary Castro Baum, who died Saturday in Freedom after a long illness.

Graveside services will be Tues The Wall Street Journal WASHINGTON The Environmental Protection Agency will approve a waiver allowing California to impose air quality standards that exceed those of the federal government, departing EPA Administrator William Reilly said. The waiver, which was initially expected to be routine, was opposed by the automobile industry and was delayed by White House officials until Thursday. Under the waiver, California will be permitted to implement a low-emission vehicle program that includes auto-emission standards that exceed the requirements of federal law under the 1990 Clean Air Act. The standards were set in place by the state as an interim step to improve air quality; by 2003, 10 percent of all vehicles sold in California will be required to be free of emissions, which is assumed to mean that they be powered by electricity. At a news conference, Reilly said the California waiver would allow the state "to continue its cutting-edge role" in improving air quality.

The action is expected to trigger enactment of the same standards in other states, including New York and Massachusetts.

Paid Political i i waves at Cape Horn and remained capsized Thanksgiving Day for about an hour in 40-degree waters. A huge wave then turned the boat upright and the two were rescued 15 hours later by a New Zealand freighter. "It was actually worse than any other nightmare I've had about being at sea," Wilson said.

Despite that harrowing voyage and the recent disappearance of his friend Mike Plant, who was sailing from New York to France when his boat capsized, Wilson said he's ready for the challenge again. "It's really sobering, of course," Wilson said of Plant's disappearance late last year. sell hot dogs attire. "I don't like bras," Gregory said. "The better you look, the better you sell." In fact, Gregory admits that her prescribed outfit of shorts and little tops for all her employees may cause more than hot dog sales.

"I give a bonus for a girl who causes an accident," she said. Cicatelli says she's disgusted by the way Gregory and her employees dress and says it gives them an unfair advantage. But she says "what can I do?" The spat has been great for customers. In two months the price of a hot dog has gone from $1.75 to $1 to 50 cents, with each side one-upping the other. At one point it was two for the price of one.

Finally, Gregory slashed prices to a quarter and managed to sell 500 hot dogs in just over two hours the very first day. Although Cicatelli is still doing a decent business, the war is taking its toll. Says Cicatelli's boyfriend Clive Richards: "I don't know if it's worth this hassle."

Call the Grout Doctor 457-7425 Two sailors shooting for record trip to Boston The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO It's been two years since a treacherous storm capsized Rich Wilson's trimaran at Cape Horn. But that nightmarish episode hasn't deterred the sailor from taking on Mother Nature again.

Wilson and Bill Biewenga set sail today on the Great American II in an attempt to break the sailing record from San Francisco to Boston, set by the clipper ship Northern Light in 1853. To break the record of 76 days 6 hours, they must finish the 15,000 mile voyage by March 29. "Our game is 1,830 hours long. We don't stop. No time outs, no substitutes, no referees to keep things out there fair," Wilson said.

The two men insist they aren't thrill-seekers or daredevils. "We want to make this as boring as possible," Biewenga said. Each three-hour shift will be filled with checking and rechecking instruments and equipment to prevent an accident. "If at 3 a.m. you have to set the spinnaker, then you have to do it," he said.

Their goal is to average 8Vi knots a day. but they expect to battle obstacles such as hurricanes, windless days and unpredictable seas in their trimaran. The men will be in constant contact with a Boston office which will advise them on route and weather conditions.

Boy lama Continued from Page Al Simon's mother and grandparents and learned that they had questions of their own about the youngster. The boy's grandmother, Dolma Lhakyi, told Geshe Tsepel that Simon began making predictions last March that came true like not to trust a certain person and avoid a certain activity or something bad would happen. Convinced these could be further omens, Geshe Tsepel wrote holy leaders of his old monastery in India.

Not wanting to sway their opinion, he informed the leaders that he thought Simon could be the reincarnation of one of five former monks. Tibetan Buddhism is among many denominations within the Buddhist religion. All Buddhists believe in reincarnation, but Tibetan Buddhists are fervent in their faith that important holy leaders return to this world as babies after death. After consultation, the leaders wrote back with their ruling that Simon was a monk who once had been named Lobsang Phakpa. That marked the end of the life of Simon Heh, little boy, and the beginning of that of Sanggyal Dorjee, boy lama.

But what really sets the boy apart is that Tibetan Buddhists rarely declare reincarnated spirits in children so far from their monastic homes.

I think he should be acclaimed for that." Wilson and Biewenga, both experienced in transatlantic and around-the-world races, have trained physically and mentally for the grueling trip.

The voyage is also sure to provide beautiful sights of ocean life such as whales, flying fish and dolphins playing in the bow waves, Biewenga said. As for estimating how long the trip will take, Wilson said it was out of his hands. "The sea will decide that."

"If it was just the sailing part of it, I wouldn't be doing it. The exciting things is to get children connected to something outside the classroom walls," Wilson said. Wilson, who has been sailing for 37 years, founded Ocean Challenge to give students a closer look at sailing. Local newspapers will run weekly updates for the students, while a computer company and a 900 phone number will provide daily updates. Ocean Challenge followed Wilson and Steve Pettengill on the first trip in 1990.

"I don't know of any others myself," said Lance Nelson, an expert in Eastern religions who teaches at San Diego State University and the University of San Diego.

The Geshe, whose title is the equivalent of a doctorate in Buddhist philosophy, gave Simon his new names. Sanggyal means "Buddha" in Tibetan and Dorjee means "strong." Geshe Tsepel also gave the boy a crimson robe made especially for him in India. The youngster wore it during an ancient blessing ceremony at the monk's Tibetan center. The Jan. 3 ceremony waa aang-gyal's debut, the beginning of his journey toward being a lama, the title given to a priest or monk in Tibetan Buddhism.

Sanggyal returned to Victorville afterward, but soon, perhaps by the end of the year, he will go to a monastery in India with Geshe Tsepel, who was 9 when he went to live in a monastery in India. He will be Sanggyal's mentor. The boy accepts his new name and destiny as a holy man with the innocence of youth. He doesn't know what reincarnation means and when asked what a lama is, he just shrugs. Nancy Heh acknowledged that her son doesn't understand what lies ahead for him.
