Show d t Basin Standard. Thursday. July 21 1983 Uintah Preference clause supported by NRECA The question concerning the allocation of Colorado River Storage Project (CRSP) electrical power ia long from being decided. Moon Lake Electric has voiced their desire to retain their power, present share of the low-coand similar views have been expressed by other groups. In the July 8, 1983 Rural Electric Newsletter reported of a letter sent by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) and the American Public. Power Association (APPA) to the Western Area Power Administration (WAP A) rebutting the Utah Power & Light Company attack on the preference principal This principal is that which governs the sale s of federal power to 600 electric and 500 publicly owned electric st co-op- systems. In April UP&L objected to the inclusion of the preference principal in marketing criteria being developed for the allocation of CRSP power following the expiration of the current contract in 1989. On July 5 a letter was sent to WAPA Administrator Robert L. McPhail which was signed by NRECA Blazer with organizations' disagreement UP&L's position. The letter reads in part: The Utah Power & Light Company letter constitutes a direct frontal attack on 'preference' and seeks to wholly negate a well established and litigated doctrine of federal law and public policy which has been enunciated in some 30 separate statutes enacted during the past 77 years. As you know so well, 'preference' simply means that hydroelectric power developed at dams built by the federal government will be first offered and sold to consumer-owne- d utilities operated by municipalities, political subdivisions, and cooperatives before being offered to investor owned entities of any kind. In its letter of April 16, Utah impliedly demands that WAPA now abandon this principle and market CRSP hydroelectric power to the Utah Power and .Light Company and other applicants without regard to the 'preference' doctrine which was non-prof- it garden space with late veggies Fill i The American Publie Power Asaoci-atio- n and the National Rural Electric : Cooperative . Association view this matter moat seriously, and strongly .object to the allocation of any CRSP power or energy to anyone or any organization except statutory prefer- enee' customers, excluding only such , amounts as may be available after an of the demands of the statutory prefer-- . ence' customers are satisfied. We totally disagree with the analysis and interpretation of the federal law ' governing the marketing of hydroelec- trie power aa the same as hypothecated by the Utah Power and Light Company in its letter of April 15, 1983." . According to Steve Glaim, Moon Lake Electric General Manager, the CRSP power ia very important to local users. For this reason they will be working to retain the preference clause in the 1989 contract Glaim said earlier this summer that a preliminary draft will be completed later this summer. ' . Elder M.

He advises planting vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage by direct seeding. Also plant some of the root crops such as beets, carrots and turnips. He says some of these vegetables planted now will produce good quality and not overmature. They will store in the soil for a long time. Planting onions now will provide green onions for the table, but wail to plant more radishes until about the first of August ' ' Peas can be planted, but Hatch says you will need to choose a variety such as Oregon Sugar Pod that is resistant to mildew, or one such as Early Frosty. It is not resistant so plan to control mildew as needed in the fall The horticulturist said that it is even a good time to consider seeding some plants that may not be in your usual vegetable diet Try some of the mustards and kales that can withstand rather heavy frost They can be picked established and exists to assure that the Denefita of resources developed by the government reach consumers.
