Trio rips Atiyeh plan to share federal power By RICH BRUER Of the Emerald Three Eugene officials yesterday at tacked Gov Vic Atiyeh's proposal to activate the Domestic and Rural Power Authority The DRPA would give the state authority to channel hydroelectric power from the Columbia River dams to private utility customers who otherwise do not have access to such power In a news conference at the EMU Tuesday morning, EWEB Commis sioner John Bartels, Sen Ed Fadeley, D-Eugene and John Stewart, vice chairer of the Lane County Democratic Party, issued statements opposing the DRPA Rather than implement an ' illegal and unconstitutional ' program such as DRPA, Bartels said, the state should enact Article 11-D of the Oregon Con stitutuion, under which an elected three-member commission could sell federal power from the Bonneville Power Administration to consumer-owned utilities and initiate programs to produce power for public consumption Under federal law, only consumer owned utilities such as EWEB and Spnncfiekj Utility have access to power produced by the BPA in the Columbia River Gorge. Fadeley said But if DRPA was implemented, private utility con sumers also would receive some of this federal power, he added Fadeley said DRPA gives the state the ability to sell the lower-cost hy droelectric power to private utility con sumers by renting private utility lines He said only the private utility stock holders, who receive money from use of their lines, and private utility cus tomers, who receive cheaper electrici ty, would benefit from DRPA The consumer-owned utility cus tomers are hurt by DRPA because it spreads thin an already short supply of Columbia River power, ultimately meaning less power for these con - sumers, Fadeley said Bartels called DRPA a "paper tiger and said activating DRPA "will only result in costly lawsuits in which the taxpayers of the publicly-owned utilities will be compelled to sue the Oregon taxpayers to protect their legitimate right to federal power " He said the DRPA is unconstitu tional because the state, by selling power to consumers of privately-owned utilities, would not be a legal customer of fe deral power "The only way to qualify for federal power is to form a publicly-owned utili ty," Bartels said “The only way we can reduce rates for Oregonians and achieve indepen dence from foreign couhntries and technologies we don't like, such as nuclear power, is to produce, own and control our own power," Fadeley said If Gov Atiyeh was genuinely con cerned with providing lower-cost State Sen Ed Fadeley of Eugene and EWEB Commissioner Jack Bartels yesterday ripped a proposal by Gov Vic Atiyeh that would allow the state to purchase federal power from the Bonneville Power Administration and resell it to private utility customers energy to more people, he would ac tivate Article 11-D, which unlike DRPA gives the state power to produce en ergy that would be owned by the public in addition to providing access to federal power, Fadeley said He said DRPA goes only halfway because it doesn t generate any power and ctoesn't place the control in the hands of the people DRPA promises private utility stock holders a profit on their investment "with the use of publicly produced power in the Columbia River system,” Fadeley said "In this instance it seems the gover nor has left his guts and courage on the rug in the boardroom of private utili tieis,” Fadeley said "DFtPA is really a lever to pass the Northwest Power Bill," Fadeley said The Northwest Power Bill, also know n as the Jackson Bill after sponsor Sen Henry Jackson D-Wash., currently is resting in the U S Senate and would, if passed, spread the regions' power equally among all consumers of either private or public utilities THE ANANDA MARGA SOCIETY PRESENTS THE THIEF OF BAGDAD This classic film fantasy * based on one of the most populai stones from THE ARABIAN NIGHTS Sabu stais as me young thief who encounters a giant genie an enchanted princess a (tying horse a mysterious temple an evil magician and many more deiightlui wonders In gaudy technicolor with ex ceiient special effects SATURDAY.
