BLM To Revise The Circuit Resource Area Plans Writer .sv.v.v northern A major revision of the plan for management of the natural resources in the Northern Resource Area of the Vale Bureau of Land Management District is cur rently underway, according to Barry Cushing, area manager. "I am looking for informa tion from anyone who is inte rested in the Northern Resource Area." he said. "1 would like to sit down and listen to anyone or will meet him at his own convenience, if he has information to offer about the resources or how they should be managed." The BLM utilizes a com prehensive planning system that involves three phases. "First in the information gathering phase, the one we are involved with at the present time," he said. "We gather all the information we can about the land's re sources. the economics of the region, the social outlook and other pertinent data. Se condly we mesh all of this dara together into a broad framework plan. Where ma- SX-.z.’.-vV t V V • v * » > * V V • I* .• “ “ '.VA’.’zZvwy' . . _ > » V V w ■ • w ■ X • z,’-.sw’.

Las tly, after the framwork plan is completed and the conflicts are resolved, we prepare plans to implement the recommendations of each ac tivity. An example is the allotment plans for the live stock grazing on the National Resource Lands. "This planning effort is much more intensive than anything we have ever done before md requires a much higher level of detail about each of the resources than ever before, We don’t have some of the information we would like to have, and I'm scouring the region to get it." Cushing said the new plan is being written to assist in the preparation of the Iron side Environmental Impact Statement which must be written in 1977. "I would like to approach the EIS with the best information available about the Northern Resource Area."

James E. Bruce, adressing an Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry ene rgy conference last week, said the company believes it can supply customer needs from existing resources and such additions as another Brownlee Dam unit and a larger American Falls power house from now to 1981. But he emphasized that such additions are "merely stopgaps for the short term" and declared: "After 1981, we must obtain major new resources, keeping in mind the fact that it takes a number of years to obtain any new resource." Bruce, pointing out that Idaho Power already is exploring the possible alter natives Gov. Cecil D. Andrus has suggested recently, in cluding a nuclear plant, call for a "rational approach" in studying the problem of other sources of supply. Declaring the approach must be "separated from the emotional hysteria that sur rounded the Pioneer contro versy," he said: Bring Results! "With the existing need, we must consider those alter natives which represent real, rather than illusory or fic tional alternatives. An alter native. to be considered, must be a proposal that meets the tests of economy, time, reliability and produc tive capability.” Bruce, using a series of slides to illustrate his re marks. said that even with planned additions and pur chases from other utilities. Idaho Power will be partially deficient in supplies for use over a sustained period in 1979-1982 and totally de ficient in the following three years. In 1985, according to the utility president, the de ficiency will be more than 600.000 kilowatts.

Jim Monroe Driving to Ontario the other day. 1 saw a sign warning farmers «bout the Colorado Potato Worm I must admit that I never saw that worm all the time I lived in Colorado- and we ate a lot of spuds! It bothers me that a state as great as Colorado should be slandered by having a bug named after it. It reminds me that when I went to Japan. I was at first afraid, and kept a sharp eye out for the infamous Ja panese Beetle. Once again, as in Colorado. 1 never saw one in all my time there. What would we in Nyssa think if some type of bug. or other such nuisance was named after us? For example- with apologies to those burning onion tops at the present time- what if the citizens of L A. woke-up with the radio announcement- "There's a hint of Nyssa in the air today.. Asthmatics are asked to remain indoors." Or, what about the feedlots of Ontario? Can't you hear the same newscasters complain ing about the shift in wind resulting in an inverse Ontario condition? How about the bad reputa tion Oregon has for rain. In Colorado they might be predicting .56 inches of Oregon in the next 24 hour period. Idaho enjoys a great reputation for its potatoes, but how about all the range fires they've had this year. "A raging Idaho is out of control east of Billings...," the repoat might read. Weil, without belaboring the point. I hope you see what 1 mean. It’s impor tant. because every-once-in- a-while, I hear a report of a major disaster that's billed as "an act of God." As one who believes that God is Love ( I John 4:8b), it bothers me to think that we bumbling humans are so willing to lay the responsibility for disaster at His feet, while we’re so unwilling to give Him the recognition for the beauty around us.

Tips From Whirlpool Home Economists I Here are several ways you can help make your refriger- ator/freezer more energy efficient: • Place it away from your heat-producing .appliances, windows and radiators. • Make certain there is enough space behind and above the unit to allow for good air circulation. • Clean the condenser coils regularly. • Make sure door Heals are tight. • Fill to capacity, then use and replace contents otlen.
