City appeals for aid as greater
earthquake damage discoverer
□ A 5.6 magnitude
quake shook Alpine res
idents Thursday night.
ALPINE (AP) — Alpine offi
cials are appealing for state
damage relief in the wake of a
Thursday earthquake and sub
sequent aftershocks.
Gov. George W. Bush told
Alpine Mayor Bill Sohl during
a telephone conversation Sat
urday night that he will consid
er state assistance after a Mon
day review of weekend damage
assessments. The Odessa
American reported in its Sun
day editions.
The initial quake Thursday
night registered a magnitude
moment of 5.6. A 4.0-magnitude
aftershock Saturday prompted
Alpine officials to say cumula
tive earthquake damage is
worse than initially thought.
"It was like a sonic boom."
— Capt. Chris Croy,
Alpine police
“At first, we didn’t know there
was as much private property
damage as there actually was,”
said police Capt. Chris Croy.
No injuries were reported in
the 9:33 a.m. Saturday after
shock, the 13th registered by
the U.S. Geological Sum
Golden, Colo., since the oril
nal earthquake.
“The whole community[s|
it,” Croy said. “It was like as;;
ic boom. It lasted two
and then it *1
over.”
Sohl said he
ceived numeroj
calls after the Sat
day aftershock irt:
Alpine residents!,
porting such
as fallen chimneys, ce:
arated from roofs and hairlii
fractures in the ground thatk
worsened with the aftershock
“There’s a concern to gett!
damage fixed before it
Croy said.

Texas plant considered possible siti
to make gas for nuclear warheads
□ Citizens who live
near the Pantex Plant
are concerned about
the effects of tritium
production on their
water supply.
AMARILLO (AP) — Mavis
Belisle is less than thrilled that
the Pantex Plant nearby has
been proposed for the production
of a gas that makes nuclear war
heads effective.
Without a fresh supply of tri
tium — a hydrogen-based gas
that decays over time — Ameri
ca’s bombs are fated for ineffec
tiveness, Department of Energy
officials say.
The DOE has named the
Pantex Plant one of five facili
ties where a reactor or acceler
ator could take on 40 years of
tritium production.
Belisle, who lives in a trailer
house on the Peace Farm, a 20-
acre protest plot across the
highway from Pantex, finds that
thought unpalatable.
“I’m not sure that people un
derstand that any of the tech
nology would not be an incre
mental change, but a really rad
ical change in the risks or haz
ards associated with the plant,”
"We would be thrilled to see
any expansion in an environ
mentally sound manner."
— Bob Juba,
Amarillo Economic Development Corp.
Belisle said during a recent dri
ve by the 16,000 acres where
Pantex sits.
Some Texans view tritium as
an economic opportunity for
Pantex, where 3,400 workers
disassemble nuclear
put plutonium into
bunkers. The Pantex workfc
is projected to dwindle by abc
half within 15 years
“We would be thrilled to !i
any expansion in an enviro;
mentally sound manner in
operations of Pantex,”
Juba of the Amarillo
Development Corp.
