Provo, Utah B Regional Idaho board proposes legislation to restore water rights BOISE, Idaho (AP) The Idaho Department of Water Resources has proposed legislation to restore states' water rights after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with a federal agency on the issue. On May 21, the high court ruled against the state of California in its effort to protect the fisheries on Rock Creek. The decision gave the .Federal Energy Regulatory Com- mission control over the water passing through the dams it licenses. Nearly every state backed Cal ifornia in its case against FERC. "We were all disappointed by the recent Supreme Court decision in the Rock Creek case," said Water Resources Director R. Keith in a letter to Sen. James McClure, "It brought to our attention again the importance of water resources in this state and the necessity that decisions on its allocation and use be made under provisions of state law and not by the federal bureaucracy," the agency said. Hig-gins- "When you recognize that Idaho's amicus brief in Rock Creek was endorsed by the attorneys general of all 48 other states, I think you can see that a goal of widespread support is achievable," Higginson said. The draft legislation sent to Idaho's congressional delegation clarifies that all hydro licensees under the Federal Power Act must comply with state water laws. "We are hopeful Congress will pick up our draft and run with it," Higginson told the Water Resource Board on Thursday in Boise. He said original congressional intent was to create a "dual system" where FERC is responsible for permitting projects on navigable streams and the states make the decision on water use from those facilities. "My interpretation was the court viewed it as a political decision that should be and would be resolved by Congress," said Clive Strong, deputy attorney general and chief of the office's natural resources division. Following the court ruling, Rep. introduced Larry Craig, his own measure to restore state control over their water. Strong said both Craig and Democratic Congressman clamation Act, passed by the House Thursday that could require many cooperative farmers in Idaho to break up or face potentially crippling increases in the price of water. on Richard Stallings thanked Water Resources for the new draft and indicated they would meet with state officials in the The amendment, from Rep.

Steven Plewe, chief investigator for the Institute for Research & Evaluation in Salt Lake City, said parents surveyed ranked character education third in importance behind reading and math. Using a state grant, Hooper Elementary School Principal Jerry and third-grad- e teacher Gloria Skanchy worked with teachers at the Hooper school and Riverdale's Club Heights Elementary to develop the program at the two schools.

Puccello said even if the remnants of the dam were to give way now, people downstream hardly notice. - On-scree- n cable-capabl- e Flying shutter 6 lux low-ligsensitivity 'Audiovideo lade in'out 'With case.
