Terri Martin, Utah representative for the National Parks and Conservation Association, said the environmental groups agree the bill too many shortcomings. has Even if amended, she said the bill would be inadequate. "We most reluctantly, but unanimously, urge you not to return to bill the compromise nuclear-wast- e this year, they told the House leadership. Among those signing the letter were representatives of the National Parks and Conservation Association, Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, Environmental Defense Fund and National Audubon Society. A section of the bill would set the method and schedule the Department of Energy will use to select a site. One of the possible disposal sites is in southeastern Utah next to Canyonlands National Park. A major concern of the environmental groups is a provision of the bill that would weaken the environmental review of potential dump sites. They are also worried about the tight site selection schedule that would force DOE to quickly begin limiting the search for a suitable disposal location. Juline Christofferson, an aide to Utah Gov. Scott M. Matheson, said state officials also have concerns about the bill. One section opposed by the state would force DOE to focus its primary attention on the geology of an area when searching for a dump site, and only give k nuclear-waste-dum- p consideration" to such things as the hydrology, environment or transportation problems. The wording of the bill would severely limit the states ability to challenge a DOE decision on anything but geological grounds, she said. a bill that seriously erodes the role of the state of Utah in the facility," siting of a nuclear-wast- e she said. "Its Rep. Dan Marriott, plans to offer three amendments to the nuclear-wast- e bill.

And how Sally got me to agree to take her Amy, along with us daughter, Ill never know, either. I MEAN, I like Amy. Shes a real cute kid, and brilliant. But I firmly believe threes a crowd on a date. To be perfectly frank with you, however, I know exactly how Sally got me to do it. She batted her two beautiful blue eyes at me and pouted, If we dont take Amy along, Ill be tossing gutter balls all night long." How come?" I "Because," she explained, wont be able to concentrate on my game. I'll be worrying in the back of my mind that the baby sitter is eating things out of the refrigerator while Im at the alley." So, I agreed to take her daughter along with us. But heres the kicker: Amy refused to go bowling unless I agreed to take her four school chums Mimi, Heather, Brenda and Lisa bowling, too. So, whats a man to do? I agreed. Question: Men, have you ever gone bowling with five females four of em There should be a law against it.

But commit a theft in the same area and you might end up federal court. Because the area is a national monument, most people would expect the federal government to have complete jurisdiction. In fact, the state and federal government share jurisdiction over all national parks in Utah, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Samuel Alba. Thats just one example of the somewhat complicated division of responsibilities between the two entities for purposes of criminal prosecution. in Generally speaking, the federal government has exclusive jurisdic Nothing Serious'1 got me to go tv State vs. Federal Purview Dan Valentines SALLY AND THE ALLEY: How the beautiful blonde Ive Sally been seeing late- three different rock the distance from nuclear power plants to be considered in selecting a nuclear-dumsite, and older DOE to reclaim sites that ha e been tion I picked up a ball.

Crimes committed if they on Indian reservations involve Indians and those committed at military installations are handled by the federal system. But if a white man commits a crime against another white while on an Indian reservation, the state courts will have jursidiction The federal courts jurisdiction over crimes committed on Indian lands applies only to felonies, however. Misdemeanors are handled by the tribal court system The federal government also gets if the involved in bank robberies bank is federally insured. But even this rule has exceptions. If state law enforcement officers do most of the investigating, the robbers will be prosecuted in mostly federal according to Mr Alba. Crimes that a state would normally prosecute come under federal jurisdiction if the criminal crosses a state line during commission of the crime. Fraud is frequently prosecuted by the federal government because it involves use of such interstate systems as the telephone or the mail. In most cases, Mr. Alba said, criminal penalties are equivalent under state and federal systems. murder is punishable under both systems by the death penalty or life in prison, for example.

Officials of North Ogden, a Weber County hamlet of 9,000, are collecting donations from residents to build a war chest for the legal defense of an ordinance passed in August to regulate cable programming within city limits. And a coalition of approximately 20 conservative organizations is collecting thousands of signatures for a petition drive that would force the Itah Legislature to address proposed legislation that would bar certain programming from cable networks in Utah. Some of the supporters of the petition drive say they arent necessarily in favor of the draft legislation contained in the petition, but would instead prefer to resurrect a bill that died in the waning moments of last years legislative session. "Im not speaking on behalf of all of the groups, but some of the members are supporting the petition drive to show that there is public support for this type of legislation, but not necessarily the said Joy Beech, petition itself, executive director of True Freedom Defenders, one of the organizations that have loaned support to the petition drive. Ms. Beechs group and others who support cable TV legislation prefer the Child Protection Act, a bill introduced last year in the Utah House cl Representatives, over a law outlined in the petition that has circulated in all Utah counties. The Child Protection Act, introduced by Rep. P. Lloyd Selleneit, failed to obtain enough .

Mrs. Beech has helped organize a Coordinating Council for Utah to aid in the petition drive. The lead group in the petition movement is the Utah Association of Women, but several other organizations have supplied help for the drive. Mrs. Beech said not all of the groups have formally endorsed the Harmer legislation, but most have expressed interest in the principle of cable television legislation. Among those orgnanizations, she said, are Citizens for Decency, United Families of Utah, Utahns Against Pornography, Stop ERA.

The bill still lies in the legislative hamper, and although Rep. was defeated in his reelection effort last November, backers of the bill say it will almost certainly be reintroduced when the Legislature convenes in January. Mrs. Beech said that bill is preferable to the petitions draft legislation because it has been thoroughly reviewed by legal experts, including the staff of the Utah Attorney General, who she said have pronounced it legally sound and have vouched for its ability to pass constitutional muster. The petition legislation, drafted by John L.
