Show Orem-Geneva Times Page 9 As a fuel, newspapers have news to burn Imagine reading the morning newspaper and then using it as fuel moments later to propel the car to work. It's not such a farfetched idea, according to a Brigham Young University professor and a graduate student who operate a small engine using the energy obtained ob-tained from newspaper fuel. "I don't see that this will ever become be-come a large fraction of the fuel used in the transportation industry," in-dustry," Germane said, It takes two-and-a half times as much paper to get the same power obtained ob-tained from gasoline. That means a heavy Sunday paper would equal about a pint of gasoline. There probably is not enough newspaper out there on a daily basis to replace liquid fuels, but there is a substantial amount-perhaps amount-perhaps substantial enough to make a difference in some sort of industry with stationary engines like power generation." Germane got graduate student stu-dent Richard Croft started on the project more than a year ago with a $35,000 grant from a retired Sylmar, California, chemist named Francis Lawlor. Germane said Lawlor had read about research re-search done in Germany on using solid fuels in combustion engines before World War II. Lawlor thought there was some potential there that was never fully developed because of the war, Germane said, so he approached BYU about looking into the use of newspaper for just such a purpose. pur-pose. "It's not a new idea," Germane explained. "People have tried anything that will burn in an en Dixie says she'd be good for Utah and wants to prove it in Congress Dixie Thompson, candidate for Congress in Utah's 3rd District, Dis-trict, explained to Womefrfn Leadership (a county-wide organization) or-ganization) during their June luncheon in Orem how she moved from housewife, mother and businesswoman to college grad and politics in the span of some 18 years. Dixie, that's her billboard name, sought a bachelor's degree after her youngest son graduated from high school. In support and encouragement, her husband Kenneth invested his retirement to finance the schooling. She received a degree in Business Busi-ness Administration in 1989 and became the first ComNet graduate. ComNet is a satellite set up offered to students in conjunction con-junction with Utah State University Univer-sity and the College of Eastern Utah. When Dixie became discouraged dis-couraged with Emery County politics, she decided to run for commissioner. She lost her first campaign but learned alot. Also during that time her son came down with cancer can-cer and subsequently lost a leg. During the entire ordeal she was able to be with him through chemotherapy. She believes it was fortuitous she lost so she could give full time and support to her son. Dixie was asked to run again shortly before her son completed his treatments. With the doctors' assurance it was "OK" she did run and this time won. Her son is doing very well and is fully recovered. Dixie quit her job to put full time on the commission, even though it paid little. Consider it more education, encouraged her husband. Dixie believes women can bring a different perspective to the political process, "It's something some-thing to be able to answer to PUDUC NOTICES Public Notice Advertising Protects Your Right Orem City Request for Bid LEGAL NOTICE CITY OF OREM REQUEST FOR BID The City of Orem is requesting bids from responsible companies or individuals for the construction of the 1994 CRACK SEAL PROGRAM. PRO-GRAM. . The Contract docu-menu docu-menu may be picked up any day after July 1, 1994, during regular work hours, at 955 North 900 West, Orem, Ut. 84057. Bids will be received by Allan Mcinnii Pavo-roent Pavo-roent Management Specialist, until 3:00 p.m., Friday, July 29, 1994, in the conference room at the above mentioned men-tioned address at which time the bids will be publicly opened and read aloud. Any questions regarding re-garding the project should be directed to gine over the years. It's not a mat ter of things that will burn. It's really a function of what is practical. prac-tical. When it comes down to it, liquid fuels and gaseous fuels are really the easiest to use." The project presented two major concerns: grinding the newspaper fine enough and completing com-pleting the combustion inside the engine quickly enough. The biggest problem with using the newspapers is the preparation stage, Germane said. The paper must be pulverized to a fine dust, not an easy task since the paper is a fibrous cellulose material with about 6-8 percent moisture. Germane and Croft solved the problem with a disk sander. A dried out, rolled up copy of the campus newspaper is pushed into the spinning disk, turning the paper into a fine dust. Paper dust is then carried by a flow of air to the engine, mixed with natural gas and exploded inside in-side the single-cylinder engine being used for the tests. The process really works; the engine really runs. But will it ever be feasible? That is yet to be determined, Germane said. Recommendations will be prepared in the next couple of months and then Lawlor will decide if there is additional work he would like to fund. There are a number of problems with the process. The fine newspaper dust is explosive, which is a good quality inside the engine but dangerous outside. Croft said he has solved that problem by having the paper dust consumed as soon as it is made, but this could be a problem if people." She votes her heart as well as her head, even when it's unpopular. "I often don't agree where the commission wants to put money. I voted against the budget and against the other two commissioners," she said, even though "it just wasn't done." Dixie served on the roads committee com-mittee and sees Utah's need for transportation money. She said most of rural Utah spends money in Utah County. She sees a need to keep farms and range land open. Utah's natural resources impact the whole state, she says. "Our biggest job is to fight federal government." She opposes raising taxes and says the government already takes 60 of our income one way or another. Dixie urges women to get involved. in-volved. Make a difference. She admitted a woman walks a fine line. "You can be considered aggressive ag-gressive and assertive or simply witchy." Women tend to be emotional emo-tional and men are afraid of this, she said. But she believes women are unlimited in what they can do and can complement men in the political arena. Women need to use the golden rule, listen to needs, and above all develop good communication skills. You need tenacity and backbone. Control your emotions and always be able to back up your opinion. Dixie has spoken out in support sup-port of term limitation, but is cautiously open to "rethinking" that stand. "We all need to ask more questions," she said. "Whenever Ym told ym can't do that' I ask Svhere does it say that?" There is nothing new in art except talent.

Drying the paper and keeping it dry can also be a problem. Any moisture makes the paper dust clump and clog the cylinder. And what about the small amount of ash created by the paper? Would that cause long-term maintenance problems? It appears to burn as cleanly as gasoline but are there really some air pollution considerations con-siderations to look at? Those are issues to be tackled when, and if, a second phase of the study follows. For now, Croft and Germane are evaluating how the engine performs on newspaper fuel. Croft, who has worked on the project for about 30 hours a week for more than a year, said he has run the engine on a mixture of 30 percent newspaper, sometimes 40 percent, per-cent, with the rest natural gas. "I don't know at this point if it could be done with 100 percent newspaper in a gasoline engine," Croft said, "this engine has a high rotating speed so you do not have much time to burn. You have to complete the combustion of the fuel before it is time to get rid of the exhaust gases out of the cylinder. That can be a problem with solid fuels." Even with the problems, Croft said the use of newspapers a3 a fuel may be viable, especially if unrest in the Middle East ever causes a shortage of gasoline. He said at one point old newspapers were selling for $10 a ton and gasoline for a lot more than that. Even if it takes 2 12 tons of newspaper to equal one ton of gasoline, you can't beat the savings, he said. Humans can carry tapeworms just like their pets A dog is a tapeworm's best friend. Tapeworms in dogs and other pets, can also mean tapeworms in humans who care for these pets, said Clell Bagley, Utah State University Extension veterinBe a good neighbor and keep worms out of your cherriesarian. For Utahns, the Hydatid disease dis-ease of humans is one example. This disease, also called echinococcosis, is caused by the larval stage of a tapeworm of dogs. The adult stage of this tapeworm, Echinoccus granulosus, granu-losus, is small and difficult to see. It produces microscopic eggs, sometimes transferred from the dog (hair to hand) or environment (grass, dirt to hand) to a person's mouth (wiping lips, chewing , fingernails), Bagley said. Sanpete County had high infection in-fection rates of this tapeworm in both sheep and dogs in the early 1970s. While control efforts have reduced the disease, it ha3 not eradicated it, he said. "People in other areas of Utah should not feel they are without any danger," the veterinarian said. "Sheep and dogs from Sanpete County have been transported to all part of the state. It is very likely that the Echinococcus tapeworm has gone along for the ride." After the eggs of this tapeworm pass into the digestive tract, they penetrate the gut wall, enter the bloodstream and travel to the liver, lung and other places. "Here they attach and form cysts that gradually grow larger until surgically removed or until the person dies." Bagley said humans are con sidered a "dead end" host in this disease because the infection doesn't spread from an infected person to another person, or even to a dog. "The intermediate host is sheep," he said. "The cysts grow in them just as in man. However, if dogs eat the enteral organs of infected sheep, they become infected in-fected and the larval tapeworms develop into adults." If this happens, the dog begins to shed eggs from its intestinal tract within about seven weeks and the cycle repeats. Other tapeworms affect dogs, but they are much larger and easily visible, he said. In the tapeworm world, multiplication multi-plication means survival. "Parasites, in general, survive by sheer masses," he said. "That is the case with hydatid disease. A heavily infected dog may shed thousands of eggs each day." Of these thousands, he said, it only take ONE to get from the tail hair to the dog muzzle, to a person's hand, to the mouth, to result in hydatid disease for that person. It just needs the right circumstance cir-cumstance and time for it to show its effect Control is most effective when carried out on a community, area, or county-wide basis. Bagley said it must include: 1. Deworming all dogs that MAY have eaten uncooked sheep viscera (internal organs). Repeating Repeat-ing at later times after any possible pos-sible exposure. 2. Proper disposal of dead sheep and sheep viscera to prevent dogs from eating them. 3. Elimination of stray dogs. 4. Control of all dogs to keep them from defecating in and around children's play areas. 5. Washing hands after handling han-dling or playing with dogs.
