The designation by the Environmental En-vironmental Protection Agency allows the EPA to proceed with investigations in-vestigations and cleanup, which is e stimated to cost between $1- to $1.5 million. Tom Dunlop, AspenPitkin Environmental En-vironmental Health Officer, said up to 75 acres on the mountain and its base is contaminated with toxic lead and cadmium mine tailings. Cleanup, he said, would consist of hauling away contaminated topsoil, covering the ground with a clay cap and placing water diversions on top of Smuggler. The costs would be borne by what are called PRPs, or Potentially Responsible Parties. A list of 10 PRPs for Smuggler includes in-cludes Pitkin County, as well as area miners, homeowners associations and developers. The EPA proposes to continue sampling groundwater from test wells for the next three to five years. rtouraifl I 7a I II IV" I 7a I 11 IPNS w Inspector acts like Matt Dillon' KetchumSun Valley Three members of the Ketchum City Council criticized the city's building inspector for enforcing the Uniform Building Code too strictly and for having an alleged attitude problem toward the public. Coun-cilmen Coun-cilmen Tom Held and Larry Young said they had received 15 to 20 complaints com-plaints recently about inspector Ron Drey. Held accused Drey of "nit picking abuse of the code". He told the inspector he had heard complaints com-plaints that Drey was acting "like Matt Dillon walking into town, like they're cheaters and you're going to catch them." In one instance, he said, a builder lost two days of work because Drey issued a framing approval contingent con-tingent on state inspection of plumbing plumb-ing and electrical work. In his defense, Drey said he didn't stop work in that case, but issued an conditional approval so work could proceed after the state inspectors gave an approval. In the Uniform Building Code, framing appoval comes second for a reason, so the framing inspection can review changes caused by rearrangement of pipes or electrical lines. "I'm not making these things up they come from my training," he said. But Held said Drey's job description descrip-tion calls for a "common-sense interpretation" in-terpretation" of the code. The councilman coun-cilman said, "I want him to use common-sense judgment and say 'Framing approved.'" Towns argue over hospital district -A public hearing was held on a proposed county hospital district at the Blaine County Courthouse, with supporters outnumbering opponents about 2-1. Opinion was divided roughly along geographical lines. Residents of Hailey and Bellevue, in the south end of the county, wanted a district to support the Blaine County Medical Center (BCMC) in that area. Opponents from Sun Valley contend their town already supports the Moritz Hospital. Supporters said the hospital district is needed to provide emergency care and indigent treatment. treat-ment. Opponent Bob McElfresh, board chairman at Moritz, said, "If this proposition is passed, it will mean we will have two competing hospitals, both of which are getting part city hPVW105py "v".'.!

The Kimball Art Center hours are: 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sundays. tax support." Those opposing the district said efforts should be made to consolidate the hospitals. Jackson Hole News Sex survey excites students Jackson Hole Students at Jackson's high school and junior high say they don't like the attention they received over the results of a student sex survey especially since they thought the survey was only for the school board and teachers. Students said that since the results were published in local papers, they have been pressured about their sexual sex-ual activities by alarmed parents. The survey found 25 percent of seventh graders and 33 percent of eighth graders said they had had sexual intercourse at least once. The same claim was made by 75 percent of high school seniors and 55 percent of juniors. While the figures are high, said the survey takers, they are not above the national norm. A group of eighth graders, however, said many people in their grade didn't take the survey serious ly. Students had many chances to collaborate on the questions. But Linda Cusack, chairman of the local Youth Council Committee, said that even so, the results are valid. "We were looking for general trends and information; I think the survey gave us that," she said. Parents protest free Fridays Nearly 40 parents met with the Jackson School Board to protest a proposal to eliminate 10 Fridays from the school calendar next year. Parents expressed doubt that the schools could make up by adding 15 mintes a day to the other four days. Said parent Wolfgang Bayer, "The kids don't have enough school as it is." Opponents also said the extra non-school days would create problems pro-blems for families where both parents work and can't provide supervision on Fridays. School officials said the free Fridays were planned to provide extra ex-tra educational opportunities for the teachers. Another reason was the high absenteeism of students on Fridays for extra-curricular activities.
