In the overwhelmingly Democratic 43rd District, Niemi won a fierce primary election battle with Rep. Jesse Wineberry to replace former Sen.

In addition Tuesday night, the central committee replaced Anderson's chief rival, veteran party activist and human-services lobbyist Pat Thibaudeau, with Harvey Muggy, another homosexual-rights leader, on the list of three nominees for the House post. The third choice, ranked No. 2 on Associated Press SEATTLE Cal Anderson, an aide to Mayor Charles Royer and veteran Democratic Party activist, has cleared another hurdle in his bid to become the first openly gay member of the Washington Legislature. Anderson, 39, was the first choice of the King County Democratic Central Committee to fill the House vacancy stemming from the resig MMUS 60 LES specializes in utility rate cases. While Fair Share will not file legal papers to formally intervene in the case, it will file statements with the PUC, said Stocks.

"The greater question is who controls the high seas when it comes to transmission, and Pacific is making their move. Those that control the inter-tie (which links the Southwest to the Utah Power lines) are in the best position to leverage price and access," said Stocks, who speculated that Washington Water Power Co. would be the next logical acquisition for Pacific Power if it intends to dominate the regional power transmission system. But Pacific Power spokesman John Graham said that while the company is "interested in acquisitions, the feeling right now is that Utah Power and Light will give us more than enough to chew on for a long time." Future acquisitions would be outside the Northwest, said Graham. That's what Karen Allen lost on the NUTRISYS7EM8 Weight Loss Program.

We Succeed Where Diets Fail Your By Dean Miller Staff writer SANDPOINT The Idaho Public Utilities Commission will come to Sandpoint in December to hear local concerns about a proposed power company merger some servers say would change the power markets of the entire Pacific Power and Light, a megawatt utility whose major Idaho service area is Sandpoint, is seeking Public Utilities Commission approval of a plan to buy Utah Power and Light, a utility that serves southeastern Idaho and Salt Lake City, a PUC spokesman said.

Concern about a possible rate increase for Sandpoint customers arises from the long-standing "postage stamp" rule in which the PUC insists on the same rates for customers of a single company although the customers may be scattered in different parts of the state. Pacific Power, which generates about 30 percent of its power in -cheaper hydroelectric dams, has lower rates than Utah Power, which only generates about 4 per-'cent in hydroelectric dams. If Pacific Power merges with Utah Power, one possible outcome would be an increase in rates in Sandpoint to match southeast Idaho rates paid by current customers of Utah. The proposal to join the transmission systems of the two power companies has observers concerned because they say it would create a link that would allow the new company to control the transmission of surplus power from the Pacific to the desert Southwest, something no other private utility Idaho can do. "The immediate self-interest of our members in Sandpoint is to make sure low rates continue," said Idaho Fair Share Executive Director John Stocks, whose organization Our client Karen Allen lost 60 lbs.

On Tuesday, the PUC held a preliminary conference with the attorneys and interest groups active in the case.

Commissioner Perry Swisher said in a telephone interview from Boise that the PUC's hearing in Sandpoint will be held the week of Dec. 7. The final hearing in Boise will be held in mid-January. Swisher said he believes "somewhere down the road, the Sandpoint ratepayer will be paying the same" rate as the southeast Idaho customer. The question is when, he said.

Swisher said the PUC's goal is to be sure that each utility makes the maximum use of its own resources and the resources of other utilities to avoid unnecessary new construction. Swisher said he intends to ask the companies how they will steer clear of antitrust violations.

All three are charged with one count of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act and the Federal Airborne Hunting Act. In addition, Jaksick and Boyce are charged with four counts, and Christensen three counts, of actually violating the airborne hunting law. The Lacey Act prohibits interstate transportation of illegally taken game animals. The other law prohibits using an aircraft to harass wildlife. The men face maximum penalties of one year imprisonment and a $100,000 fine on each count.

The charges were filed following an undercover investigation, but Hicks said he could not go into details of the investigation. Hovis ordered all three released on their own recognizance pending further proceedings. Three hunters pleaded innocent Tuesday to charges of conspiring to violate federal game laws and harassing animals from a helicopter. Sam Jalcsick 40, of Incline Village, Michael John Boyce, 40, of Reno; and Chris Lee Christensen, 41, Kingman, entered the pleas before U.S. Magistrate James Hovis in Spokane.

They were arrested in August at Lewiston, and the government at the same time seized Jaksick's Bell Jet Ranger II helicopter. Federal officials said they plan to seek forfeiture of the helicopter to the government. Assistant U.S. Attorney Earl Hicks said Jaksick paid 06,000 for a permit to hunt bighorn sheep in Oregon. The government's allegation is that the men wanted to be sure they got a trophy sheep, and using the helicopter, they discovered larger animals in a herd in Washington.

Big-game hunters forced out of Western Oregon forests because of extreme fire danger are seeking refunds of their state license fees or an extension of the hunting season. The general season is due to end next Wednesday, and officials of the state Department of Fish and Wildlife expect to decide next week what action, if any, to take. Refunds and extensions of some special hunting seasons are being considered, Al Polenz, a big-game biologist with the Department of Fish and Wildlife in Portland, said Monday. About 600 hunters a day have called the department during the past week to ask what will be done to compensate for the forest closures.

The state closed more than 10 million acres of federal, state and private forest lands in Oregon last week as a result of the fire danger. National forests remained open. Polenz said providing refunds would be difficult and that the agency had no plans to extend the general deer season. Hunters had about two weeks before the forests were closed to bag their deer for the season. It is possible the early elk season in the Coast Range, due to begin Nov.

7, could be postponed and that there could be extensions of special seasons in northwest Oregon for deer of either sex, Polenz added. "We should be in a better position to determine this by next week," he said. "But if we get a change in the weather, it will not be much of a problem. "We are going to get some moisture here. It's just a matter of time." Polenz said biologists had been providing feed for elk in some areas because of the drought.

Normal winter browse is not "greening up" adequately because of dry conditions, he said. Meanwhile, salmon and other anadromous fish are swimming in circles in Alsed and Yaquina bays while waiting for rains to increase stream flows so they can migrate upriver to spawn. However, it is not a major problem yet, said Don Bodenmiller of the Fish and Wildlife Department office in Newport. "These fish can be flexible, and if we get some rain in the next two or three weeks, there should be no problem," Bodenmiller said. 100 Aldomet 250mg tab.
