"The entire staff is experienced and efficient," she said concerning the 2 other women and 1 5 men employees at the plant. Does a gender gap exist? "Not for me," she laughed. "It isn't something I think about." The answer reflects confidence gained from qualifications all otwhich amassed during twenty-fiv- e years with Pacific-Cor- p, have been spent in power plants. Romans started with the company in 1971 as a Chemical Engineer in the start-u- p phase of the Centralia, Washington plant. She says mere is a comradeship and a "high" when production is successfully on line mat is experienced only by a start-u-p crew.

Like Blundell, it is a single unit station. Becoming a small station manager has been a longtime goal. The fact mat Blundell is a "green", or environmentally friendly, facility is an added bonus.

Although mere power are no plans to expand the operation currently in the works, Romans pointed out that the turbine is definitely numbered one. Thermo generated electricity is relatively expensive, due in part to the high cost of mineral rights. Additives treat and soften the steam before it reaches the atmosphere. This process neutralizes minerals to prevent them from dropping out during condensation, thus avoiding corrosion damage the turbine. Steam passes through the turbine to generate electricity, then continues to a cooling tower, from which excess water is returned to the original source. "The smartest application is to not deplete the resource. From a theoretical standpoint we are doing everything we can to maintain stability in the water table ," Romans explained. She was properly initiated during the second week of her new job when she made the necessary decision to shut down for repair and service. Although well acquainted with the procedure of pulling the turbine, responsibility for the actual act was a first. It wasn't an emergency, giving her the option of choosing the time. "It took one day shift and one night shift, a day. There was no panic. When we got it back together, it was smooth and perfect," she said. "Whew!" Romans and her husband, Gregg, looked at the surrounding communities of Beaver, Minersville, and Cedar City before choosing to make their home in Milford. "Finding a place suitable for a family is a challenge," she said. She toured schools and interviewed principals before deciding mat Milford would provide the desired Gretchen. "Girls Heidi and year-old atmosphere for are sometimes limited by the assumption mat they are not talented in all areas. Kids should be encouraged to develop their talents, whatever they are, without worrying about outside pressures," she said. Both girls were in accelerated learning programs at their previous school, counterparts of which are not yet available in Milford. Romans, however, expressed confidence in the level of the school. "Unfortunately, mere is no band. The school is loosing something when the kids don't have a complete music program," she added. Heidi plays the flute, and Gretchen the trumpet and organ. choose to rent instead of buying a home in Romans Milford' s choppy housing market which is currently at a premium. "Renting is a ioss, but if we bought now and the market plummets it could take several years for the investment to recover," she said. She and her family like living in a rural area. She referred to Milford as "an interesting town." 24-ho- ur 16-ho- ur 1 1 -- |
