The Japanese nurses visited the
Mariah A. TaylorCommunity Health
Czinic at 5311 N. Vancouver.
The office is one of the few such
clinics in the state providing primary
health care to indigent families
throughout the Portland area. Taylor
is a pioneer in her work as a pediatric
nurse practitioner.
In Taylor’s view, doctors are
trained with an emphasis on illness
curing and pathology, while nurse
practitioners are trained with an em
phasis on health m aintenance,
wfellness and treatment of minor and
A delegation o f six nurses from
| Japan got a new look at health care
by visiting a north and northeast
Portland clinic last week.
The six Japanese guests want
ed to see how nurse practitioners
perform medical services in the
I United Sates.
A nurse practitioner is a level
I of health care provider which is
between a physician and a regis
tered nurse. In Japan, nurses are
usually not trained for such exper
tise, an official of the group said.
Even in the United States, nurse
I practitioners at e somewhat rare, but
acute illnesses.
Taylor also sees her profession
as affording more time to spend!
with the patient.
Taylor has demonstrated the!
nurse practitioner arts through long
hours of dedicated work, making
long-distance house calls and being
on call 24 hours a day.
She holds a bachelor’s d e -1
gree in nursing from Southern)
Oregon State College in Ashland
and a m aster’s degree in nursing)
and certification as a Pediatric,

Public Notice of Oregon Pacific Power
_____ Price Increase Application
On September 1,1995 Pacific Power filed with the
Oregon Public Utility Commission a proposal to increase
base electricity prices for the first time in nine years. While
the filing contains a proposed effective date of October 15,
1995, the filing is only the first step in a formal process
that will take several months to complete. The Company
expects that any change to prices would not occur until
July 1,1996.
Included in the filing is a request for adoption of a
new alternative form of regulation plan that links cus
tomer prices more to company performance than to
changes in costs. The company's alternative form of regu
lation proposal streamlines the regulatory process by per
mitting prices to change under the plan according to
increases in designated price indexes. The proposal also
includes service quality standards and penalties if the
company fails to meet the standards.
Under traditional cost-based regulation, the company
could justify a higher percentage increase than the 4 per
cent overall increase which is being sought with this filing.
Inflation has eroded purchasing power by 42 percent since
1985. The company s alternative form of regulation pro
posal demonstrates a commitment to moderate the impact
of cost increases on customer prices while retaining high
quality service.
D etails of this Application:
The Company, along with seeking approval for an
alternative form of regulation plan, is requesting an
increase in prices of $26.8 million or 4.0 percent. Including
the effects of an increase in the Regional Exchange Credit
(Schedule 98) received by residential and small farm cus
tomers and retaining the temporary surcredit contained in
Schedule 93, the net price increase will be $25.2 million or
about 3.8 percent.
If approved by the OPUC, this filing would result in a
monthly bill increase of $3.32, or 5.6 percent for an average
Pacific Power residential customer.
Other customer classes would experience increases as
follows:
General Service Schedule 25, 3.7 percent; Large
General Service Schedule 48T, 1.8 percent; and
Agricultural Pumping Schedule 41, 3.9 percent.
The Company proposes adding a new Large General
Service Schedule 27 for monthly demands between 100
kilowatts and 1,000 kilowatts. Customers qualifying for
this new schedule would see a 2.2 percent price increase in
the Company's filing.
Customers may review copies of the company's testi
mony, application and exhibits at Pacific Power's main
office, 920 SW Sixth Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97204
(503) 464-5000, as well as local district offices listed below.
Additional information may also be obtained from these
offices. Customers may also call or write the Commission
at 550 Capitol Street NE, Salem, Oregon 97310 to receive
notification of the time and place of any hearing on this
proposal. The telephone number is 1-800-522-2404.
The purpose of this announcement is to provide cus
tomers with general information regarding the company's
proposed application for a price increase and adoption of
an alternative form of regulation plan, as well as the effect
of these proposals on customers. Calculations and state
ments contained in this notice are not binding on the
Oregon Public Utility Commission.
