if they want to reopen Sisters High

transporting their high school students
to Redmond on a tuition basis.

timates that the proposed bond issue
would increase taxes nearly $5 per
$1,000 true cash value.

Aug. 27, 1997 — City requests sec-
ond audit covering Falcon Cable fees
The Redmond City Council is turn-
ing up the heat on Falcon Cable over
local cable TV service.
Still awaiting an independent anal-
ysis of the company’s compliance with
service requirements, the city has asked
for a second audit to assess Redmond
franchise fee rates. Redmond cable
rates are the highest in Central Oregon.
In addition, the city council on
Sept. 23 will consider an ordinance to
strengthen the city’s “weak franchise
agreement with Falcon,” interim city
manager Vergie Ries said in a letter to
Ruby Sutherland, Falcon’s Redmond
operations manager.
On the same day, the city council will
discuss a request from Falcon to trans-
fer the local cable franchise to an affili-
ated partnership based in Delaware.
Mayor Jerry Thackery has re-
quested that a “representative with de-
cision-making authority” attend the
Sept. 23 meeting. Counselors expect
to see the results of the technical audit
on franchise compliance prior to the
meeting.
“We’ll just see if they want to be a
partner or not,” said City Councilor
Mike Newell.

Aug. 24, 1922 — Ice cream social
nets good sum
The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Meth-
odist Church held an ice cream, coffee
and cake social on the lawn of Mrs.
James Toney last Saturday evening,
which was fairly well patronized. The
weather turned quite cold during the
latter part of the evening, which caused
the sale to slow down to a considerable
extent; otherwise the affair would have
proven a big success financially, but as
it was, the ladies netted a neat sum.

Aug. 28, 1947 — Dancers to hear

three dances at the Legion-VFW Hall

Mickie Madison will entertain with
songs from the 11-piece band and
Ralph Kaye, brother of the maestro,

force band.
