MONTICELLO, Utah (AP) - The U.S Depatment of
Energy and Utah officials clashed ; iday onw access to
data collected on a proposed nuclear waste dump site in
southern Utah.
In a meeting here of the state's Nuclear Waste
Repository Task Force, Department of Energy officials
were asked to provide some scientific research collected
in two possible sites east of Canyonlands National Park.
State officials often arc unawaare of DOE studies and
are uncertain whether research summaries the agency
provides are accurate, said task force coordinator Juline
Christ offerson.
The department is attempting to make the information
available as soon as possible, DOE representative Leslie

We will not make preliminary data available unless we
think it's important," she said.
Asked by task force members whether any of the
department's scientific information on the site was
classified, she said, "to the extent we get publicly
harangued for not providing public information, the more
we'll pull back.”
That's just childish," said task force member Frances
Farley, a Democratic state senator from Salt lake City.
Earlier in the meeting, Ms. Casey reacted angrily to
reports that an environmental activist got a copy of a
report involving a proposed nuclear waste dumpsite
before the federal agency reviewed it.

plains Dr Baddour
Aside from the climatic
changes here, Dr. Baddour
who specializes in urology, is
excited at the prospect of liv-
ing in a smaller community.
"I had several options but I
chose Hereford because I felt
that the area here is in need
of a urologist and this would
give me a chance to provide
quality care in urology and
my work would be ap-
preciated by the friendly peo-

"Another appealing aspect
to residing in Hereford." ex-
plains the doctor, "is raising
my children in a community
where people care for each
other.”
He continued by saying.
"Big cities are always rather
isolated and a smaller town
offers a sense of close family
ties and the true value of
friendship is not lost."

big step in the achievements of life.

A number of gardeners around town are bragging about
the prospects of their work and toil. Fresh vegetables and
fruits are great, but we learned many years ago that we
didn't have a "green thumb."
For those of you who are not garden people." we offer tips
on how to plant a "Garden of Life." We found this item in
another newspaper but don't know the author:
First. plant five rows of P's—presence, promptness,
preparation, perserverance, purity.
Next, plant three rows of squash-squash gossip, squash in-
difference. squash unjust criticism.
Then plant five rows of lettuce-let us be unselfish and
loyal, let us be faithful to duty, let us obey the rules and
regulations, let us be true to our obligations, let us love one
another
No garden is ■ mpiete without turnips-turn up for
meetings, turn up with a smile, turn up with new ideas, turn
up with determination to make everything count for
something good and worthwhile.

Democratic Party Chairman
Robert Strain has announced
that only four voting boxes
will be user! for the June 5
runoff due to the short list of
races on the ballot, a reduc-
tion in funds to conduct the
election, and an expected low
voter turnout.
Strain said that the main
reason for the move is
because former Secretary of
