John Dodge Olympian staff writer Keeping city and county roads passable is an expense that could quickly eat up the money the county and cities set aside each year for snow and ice control if this turns into a long cold winter "This is the hardest had to work in the last four or five said Tom Frare Olympia assistant director of streets and utilities as city crews dug out from under more than 6 inches of snow Thursday The city has $34000 in the 1983 budget for snow and ice removal In the last three days about 20 percent of the 1000 manhours set aside for emergency road work has been expended "If the rest of the winter is like this that budget going to be worth a Frare said However only about seven tons of the 300 tons of salt stockpiled to spread on icy roads have been used by city crews Thurston County doesn't have a single budget item for snow and ice control A long stretch of around-the-clock work by road crews takes a big bite out of the money budgeted for overtime said Ed Oliphant office manager for the public works road division "I see it as a problem Oliphant said Meanwhile city police chiefs and the sheriff said their patrol vehicles were well-equipped with tire chains when the snow hit hard and fast Thursday "We chained up half the patrol cars and left the rest with all-weather Olympia Police Chief John Wurner said Since only 30 percent of the cars are on the road at one time there are plenty of chains to go around However he said a few sets of chains were purchased by the city equipment were led to the nude body of 31 -year-old Kimberly Reames Her body apparently -had washed onto a gravel bar in the Nisqually River near Ashford Edmunds said She had a history of prostitution Reames said She also spent time in Purdy Treatment Center for Women in 1981 after being convicted of a drug violation Edmunds refuse to disclose the method used in her killing She had not been dead long before the body was found Edmunds said Also the body was discovered before 'anyone reported her missing Partial skeletons of two women have been found in the last two years in Mason County Carin A Conner a 19-year-old Tacoma waitress was last seen in December 1982 leaving the restaurant where she worked Her body was found in September 1983 in a remote woodsy area near Grapeview Cause of death according to Mason County Sheriff Nat Stairs has not been determined because of the age and condition of the body Connie Rolls 21 of Hoquiam was last seen hitchhiking from her home to Yelm Her skull was found last September by mushroom hunters near Grapeview A cause of death was determined The Green River Task Force was consulted in that case but the body was not added to the list of those involved in the Green River killings The task force was alerted when the Anderson Reames and Strasbaugh bodies were found according to Fae Brooks spokeswoman for the task force But those women have not been considered victims of the killer "There are enough similarities for us to hear about them but not enough to link them to the Green River Brooks said Thurston sheriff however said he thinks there are more that 43 deaths attributed to either two people operating as the Green River killer or a copycat killer "The word I'm receiving is there is more than one Montgomery said "We know more than one killer in the Green River Regarding those unsolved murders and missing persons in Thurston Mason Pierce and Lewis counties who authorities feel might have fallen to a violent death only uncovered the tip of the Montgomery said He has received information that there are several active serial killers in the United States From page one What if the power fails?
