Authority will keep power rates steady across its seven state region for a second consecutive year ees for boating and other activi ties in the recreational areas TVA manages also will remain the same in the fiscal year that begins Oct 1 TVA Chairman Craven Crowell for the year he said Under current budget estimates TVA would end 1999 with a net income of $100 million compared to $233 million the previous year No layoffs in the 13500 work force are planned Next year TVA hopes to reduce its $265 billion debt by another $300 million The burden was creat non power responsibilities antici pating an elimination of federal funding for the programs for the first time since the agency was cre ated 66 years ago Last year Congress appropriated $50 million for non power projects and TVA will not spend less than that in the coming year Chief Oper ating Officer Ike Zeringue said the vacancies TVA is the largest public power producer serving nearly 8 million people through 159 municipal

slight decrease from the $67 billion gen erated in 1998 TVA Chief inancial Officer David Smith partly blames the weather past winter there was a substantial drop off (in power demand) because of the mild weath he said However record electricity usage during last swelter ing heat still could boost revenues ed largely from an overly ambitious nuclear power program that started decades ago The agency has been chipping away at the debt under its long term financial plan TVA also plans to spend about $200 million on upgrades on its fos sil fuel turbines hydroelectric gen erators and other power equipment Meantime the utility continues to mull the future of its flood con trol navigation and shoreline main tenance programs along the 652 mile Tennessee River Earlier this year TVA began using power revenues to pay for its focus is not on how much money is spent but on how we will perform our Zeringue said Smith estimated TVA will see a 3 percent growth in revenues next year if the Tennessee Valley contin ues its economic development according to forecasts The figures were released during a meeting of the TVA board of directors Two of the three positions on the panel are vacant

northern Kentucky will be getting a new tele phone area code next year The Public Service Commis sion announced Wednesday the 606 area code will be divided with the bulk of eastern and southeast ern Kentucky retaining the exist ing dialing code The commission said the more prosperous areas surrounding Lexington and the northern Kentucky suburbs will be able to more easily absorb the costs inherent in changing area codes The actual three digit code will not be known until it is assigned by the national group that oversees such matters probably later this month The new area code will not take effect until April 2000 and then with a six month grace period The new code will have to be used to dial telephones in the affected area start ing in October 2000 Telephone exchanges some times do not exactly follow county lines but the new code will be used in Campbell Pendleton Harrison Nicholas Montgomery Clark Madison Garrard Boyle Washington Mercer Woodford ayette Grant Gallatin Boone Kenton and Jessamine counties "The old 502 area code is now being divided with most of far western Kentucky getting the 270 code Use of the 270 code will be mandatory on Nov 1 The PSC had proposed two alter natives The other was roughly dividing 606 along a north south route along the Mountain Parkway The commission said carving out the central northern Kentucky sec tion was preferred during public hearings New area codes were needed because telephone exchanges were simply running out Call Sieve 248 0568 Xeteit Prices 90 Days Same As Cash DARE TO '(IMPARK!
