Show Sights tonight City to to install transformers Most of the residents of Nephi will be without electrical power for eight to ten hours tonight beginning at 6 p.m., Ted Anderson, Nephi City manager, has announced. During that time, the citys new substation will be energized, the "loaner transformers at the substation will be replaced with the citys former transformer (which burned out May 6, and has now been rebuilt), and smaller transformers throughout the northern part of the city will be switched. Anderson said the outage will probably last longer in the section of the city north of first south street. The new transformer will run the section of the city from first south north and the older, rebuilt transformer will operate the Itah otate Frea P.0. Box 1327 ' lt southern part of the city The smaller transformers iq the northern part of the city will have to be switched because the new main transformer operates on a higher voltage than the mom transformer now in place. The city at first talked of Tinting Utah Power & Lights portable substation so that the citv would stay lit during the switchover time, but decided that the inconvenience of eight to ten hours without power was far better than the $12,000 cost of renting the portable substation. According to Anderson, the in stallation of the new transformer and the rebuilding of lines in the northern part of the city, will take care of the citys power problems for the foreseeable future. The city instituted a budding moratorium last year when the citys growth overloaded its foim er transformer. That oer!oad eventually contributed to the blow up of the transformer and left many parts of Nephi without electric power for over a day while loaner transformers from UP&L were installed. The installation of the new electrical system is being financed by a bond issue passed by Nephi voters December 13, 1977. reminds Nephites to break out the candles for tonights hour power blackout. Nephi City and UP&L crews will switch in the transformer (now citys new substation and put the citys burned-ou- t TNPhoto rebuilt) back in operation. six-to-eig- Fair is 22-2- 5; August queen entrants sought The Juab County Fair will be held August 22, 23, 24, and 25, the fair board has announced, following its annual organization meeting.

If, for instance, the intensity of grazing did not meet wilderness criteria, it would be reduced. If grazing were reduced for management purposes, it would probably not be restored to the previous level. It can come down, but it cant come back up Zobell said. While some grazing opportunities could be lost, Traveller said, the classification of an area as wilderness does not necessarily lower its money-makinpotential. He cited an increased tourist trade in an area as one example. g The public has until October 1 to comment on the draft environmental statement concerning the roadless areas. After the comment period is over, a final statement will be formulated and presented to Congress, which will decide whether or not to create the wilderness area. Essentially, RARE II seeks to determine (1) which roadless areas (if any) should be added to the wilderness system; (2) which of the areas should be managed for other uses, such as developed recreation, timber production, and manipulation of vegetation for wildlife; and (3) which of the lands require further planning before decisions are made. The draft statement lists seven alter TNPhoto natives for consideration. The Commissioners after Organization, reviewing the has gone on record as proposals, committed to the multiple being use of all public lands, saying that only in this way can these lands be used to their maximum potential for the benefit of the people who live here and depend on these lands for their Six-Count- y livelihood. The Commissioners Organization has supported efforts of local elected officials in making cer- tain that the final proposals relative to wilderness in these six counties be in accordance with the desires of the local elected officials and the local people. RARE II is the second such wilderness area evaluation. In 1973, the service conducted a less extensive evaluation program which was the subject of controversy and a lawsuit. The suit. Sierra Club vs. Butts, charged that the service failed to identify all potential wilderness areas from all regions of the United States. In response to the suit, the Forest Service embarked on the RARE II program.

Although the initial money was to have gone for development of the Utah county side of the loop, which is situated in Congressman McKays district, the Juab county side would have eventually been developed, too. The demands for recreation in the Nebo Loop area are very high and will get worse, the con- gressman says. The development has been planned a promoted for over 25 years and is as well planned as any in the country . . . and more than justifies itself, McKay said. The loop road is one of the Forest Service's top priority projects. Also shelved by the committee were grants of $4.5 million for the Mexican Water, Arizona to Bluff, Utah road; $1 million for the LaSalle road near Moab; $1.3 million for boat docks, ramps, parking, and utilities for the Glen Canyon National Recreatiofl Area; and $250,000 for the Hawthorne Perception Park for D ! in O tbn Canyon. |
