APS Bills May Decrease 1 Percent
Arizona Public Service Company customers could see a 1% drop in their average bill this year. If the Arizona Corporation Commission approves it, there will also be no base-rate increases until 2016.
Last June, APS requested a 6.6% rate increase. But low natural gas prices and pressure from consumer groups brought about a better deal for ratepayers.
The Arizona Republic reports that APS has signed an agreement with 20 large customers, consumer groups and other stakeholders. APS agreed to the changes in return for financial incentives for the company to promote energy efficiency. The agreement still must be approved by the Corporation Commission.
Several components of your bill would increase starting next year, but not in the one large increase that APS requested.

Researchers Link Low Vitamin D Levels to Depression
Researchers at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas have linked low levels of vitamin D to depression. Science Daily reports that the findings suggest that it might be useful to screen for vitamin D levels in depressed patients—and perhaps to screen for depression in people with low vitamin D levels. But the study did not determine if increasing vitamin D levels reduces depression.
Low vitamin D levels are already considered risk factors for other medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, certain cancers; and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

Tonto National Forest Travel Management Environmental Assessment
Tonto National Forest officials are seeking comments on the Travel Management Environmental Assessment.
In 2005, the Department of Agriculture enacted a planning rule to manage motorized vehicle use on national forests and grasslands. This rule requires the Tonto National Forest to designate those roads, trails, and areas that are open to motor vehicle use.
Based on previous public input, several alternatives are proposed in the draft Environmental Assessment. The final product will be a Motor Vehicle Use Map that shows which roads and trails will be open to motor vehicle use. The decision will also amend the Tonto National Forest Plan.
A copy of the travel management environmental assessment can be found at the forest web page.
The 30-day comment period began January 6. Comments may be submitted by phone, on the Internet, by email and by postal mail.
