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-

W a S/
nagement actions for each
resource are proposed, the
conflicts between them are
identified and resolved. 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."

Idaho Power Company
must obtain major new
electric supplies after 1981 to
fill growing customer require
ments, but all the alter
natives to Pioneer under
study will cost more, be less
reliable and the time frame is
"extremely tight.” the uti
lity's president says.
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.
Several adult-oriented clas
ses at Treasure Valley
Community College still have
openings, according to Jeff
Ford, associate dean, com
munity education. Those
interested in attending any of
the courses may register at
the next scheduled class
meeting.

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. Think about it the
next time you're out in the

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

Remember, energy is
wasted when used to cool
space that is not utilized.
