Low said that Rod Millar, a member of the Nulcear Policy Group, made a presentation to the effect that the group's tactics might backfire on them if the DOE comes to view Canyonlands as an asset to' a Gibson Dome repository, Millar said the Policy Group had put forth numerous reasons for enlarging Canyonlands, and it would be inconsistent of them to oppose expansion of the park on the basis of security reasons if DOE wins the battle to place a repository at Gibson Dome. He said the need would for such a turn-arou- nd prove an embarassment to the Policy Group, Low said he was deeply distressed by Millar's concluding statement in which Millar said that he had presented a line of reasoning that he thought DOE might use, adding that the Policy Work Group should consider that DOE would use this or a similar line of reasoning. Low said Millar's presentation was followed by a discussion of ways in which the Policy Group could negotiate plans DOE might have for tryingto expand Canyon-aln- ds Park, He said the group did not discuss at any time the possible validity of the DOE hypothesis of a national park as a place in which post repository monitoring could be effected with desirable security. Commissioners Calvin Black and Ken Bailey convinced Low that he should continue to attend the meetings as a watch dog for southeastern Utah interests.

Williams and Sherry Doudt of Roseburg, Oregon, were released followingpay-me- nt by WiUiams of a $106 fine for possession of marijuana. Chief Bevan Wright of the Blanding Police Department said the child was appointed a ward of the court at the request of the mother, who said she could not care for the child, and following an indictment of the father for child abuse. Wright said the parents took the child from protective custody in Oregon without permission. Officer Bradford ran the license plate check after noticing what he considered a suspicious looking vehicle patrolling the Blanding Third Reservior. A WEATHER impact could shut down almost any development in southeastern Utah. Less Prall of the Southeastern Association of Governments asked for San Juan County support of a program to assist business expansion through the use of loans from the Small Business Administration (SBA), Prall stated that the Utah Economic Development Board is training people in this area to assist existing businesses in obtaining SBA loans or Community Block Grant funds. Packaging private funding with low interest loans might make it possible for an existing business to expand and employ low income workers, Prall said. Commissioner Ken Bailey received approval to negotiate a contract with Four Comers Solar and Construction Company for an $87,966 metal building at the county road yard. The company was selected from among five companies submitting proposals.
