NOTICES
How Much Doeslt Cost?
from the Central Lincoln People ’s Utility District
We frequently get asked how much it costs to operate various types of appliances.
There are a lot of differences between appliances because of brand, style, age, and
condition, but there are some averages that allow “ballpark” calculations.
Here’s a list of the most common appliances used in and around the home,
and the average costs to operate them. Costs are based on our current residential
rates, and hours of usage are based on a typical family of three people.

[ Raptor Center Needs New Home ]
।
The Oregon Raptor Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to
| rehabilitating predatory birds and educating the public about them. Eleven
| birds there currently cannot be re-released because of extensive injuries.
|
This organization is in dire need of a land base. It currently is located on
| BLM land and has been notified that it needs to move elsewhere.
?
The center has no regular source of income. The bird handler had to take
I a minimum wage job, which leaves her unavailable for educational classes
1 and weekday visits. The center’s Web site is http://www.open.org/~raptor/.
