TO THE EDITOR
“Le Show.” As Mr.Hickam pointed out, Alan
Siporin’s “Critical Mass” has not been re-
placed with a similar format and how about
plain old public access programming?
What’s up with a double dose of “Car Talk?”
Public radio must respond to its commu-
nity’s needs and desires in programming and
KLCC appears to be reluctant to do so. It’s
time to bring back the advisory board as a
truly representative voice of this station’s’ lis-
tenership.

SUPPORTING WIND POWER
I am the developer of the West Cascade
Energy Facility. I fully support conservation
and wind power
as the primary
choices for solv-
ing our energy
problems. In 1977
as Sen. George
Wingard’s legisla-
tive assistant, I
helped
revise
Oregon building
codes to promote
conservation. I
buy 100 percent
wind power for
my home. I built
the award-winning Falls Creek Hydroelectric
Project near Sweet Home; one of only eight
hydroelectric plants out of thousands in
America that has been certified “green.”
I bring the same sensitivity to the environ-
ment and the community to the West Cascade
Energy Facility as to everything else I have
done in my life. Because I support wind
power, I revised my project to include 300
megawatts of peaking power. Peaking plants
make wind power possible. The wind doesn’t
blow all the time, so we need peaking plants
to fill in the gaps.
The article “Behind the Power” (4/1) is
well written but incorrectly states that the
West Cascade Energy Facility will supply
more energy than the region uses. In fact, it
will only supply some of the power used in
Lane, Linn and Douglas counties, but it will
play a major role in strengthening our electri-
cal infrastructure.
I agree with the Sierra Club that it’s better
to build natural-gas fired power plants near
where the electricity will be used. I’m
convinced the West Cascade Energy
Facility is part of the solution, not part
of the problem.

VOTE MITZI
Marlene (Mitzi) Colbath is running
for state representative in District 8.
She is fantastic. I have known Mitzi for
six years. I have always been in awe of
her energy and ambition. Her honesty
and character are beyond reproach. She
has taken on so many varied volunteer
positions that there is not enough paper on
one page to list them.
She is not only a CPA but has been a mu-
nicipal auditor, worked in government and
has been on the planning commission for sev-
eral years. There is only one other CPA
