Imagine a job where you have to handle and coordinate communications for nine police departments, four ambulance services, six fire departments, county animal control and water and road departments, all on 12 radio frequencies, and at the same time monitor seven television screens and answer all calls coming in on 15 phone lines, including calls from a hysterical mother with a choking baby or a man who wants to know if agricultural burning is permitted today or . . . whew! Sound like a high stress job? You better believe it. Yet the individuals who perform these duties, with lives depending on them in many instances, love their jobs.

Working behind the scenes, dispatchers usually do not receive much recognition for the jobs, laden with responsibility, which they perform. It does get very hectic," admits Phyllis Gleave, Davis County Sheriffs Office dispatcher. She interrupts what she is about to say to turn immediately to the large communications board with flashing lights in front of her. 0. auction will also be held and tickets will be sold from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You don't need to be present to win.

Wilkinson at Hill Air Force Base last - v' , week. 4 u - prayers at state legislative sessions was not an establishment of religion. The court is now making decisions on about six church-stat- e cases, such as the challenge of the moment-of-silence on Alabamas law books. The wall has not vanished, but it methodically has been lowered, Wilkinson on said. He is optimistic that the guide for those decisions is becoming one of not secularism, but pluralism. Tomorrow, May 2nd has been proclaimed National Prayer Day. The founders would have noted approvingly more than a coincidence in this marriage of law and religion," Wilkinson said.

The site must be close to the county seat, near the sheriffs office and courts, he said.

Gerlach said he had received a call recently from another individual interested in selling property. For design purposes, the site should be shaped in a square rather than a rectangle, Boyle said.

No date has been set on the issue of whether the burn plant will harm nearby property values. EastRidge Estates residents, east of the proposed burn plant site, are asking $10.5 million in ages. They claim the plant will downgrade the value of the neigh- y. Site 7, called the Kaiserman site, is located 0.8 miles south of Glover Lane and east of 650 West Street. Site 8, the Parrish Lane site, is located slightly west and north of Parrish Lane along the county frontage road.

One facet of the lawsuit was ruled on last week. A temporary injunction against issuance of a special use permit for the plant was requested. But 2nd District Court Judge Douglas Cornaby said he wouldn't grant a temporary or permanent injunction. Attorney Martin Gravis said it hadnt been decided yet if Corna- - But he added the economic issue may not be settled until after the plant is built. After hearing more testimony from witnesses last Wednesday, Cornaby stood by his temporary ruling made the previous Friday. The suit was filed against mem- bers of the solid waste special service district, who issued $54.7 million in bonds to finance the project. Construction of the plant will cost about $30 million. He made no decision as to whether there would be devaluation of the homes if the plant is built, but told Bailey his clients had a right to go to trial on the matter, now, if they want to. The economic losses that may or may not be incurred are not irreparable. They are not so great they cant be compensated for, he added.

And in 1983 the Court decided that a legislative chaplain paid from had abused its discretion or acted arbitrarily in granting a conditional use permit for the plant, the judge said. The commission granted a permit to the plant April 4. Though the zoning (for the plant) might appear to be improper, it doesnt appear so when taking the surrounding area into consideration, he said.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn dismisses the notion that Solidaritys fight for survival was motivated by a belief that it represented true socialism agains the claims of socialism Communist distortion. Lets not be mistaken. Solidarity inspired itself not by socialism but by Christianity, Wilkinson quoted Solzhenitsyn as saying. Wilkinson quoted religious authorities, United States Supreme Court judges, and a recent book, The Naked Public Square showing that the United States strayed away from the original intent of the First Amendment. The intent was to ensure that one particular religion could not be set up by the federal government, he said. . The wall that is said to be required in the constitution between state and religion was interpreted in many cases to religion, and advance secularism.
