Kirby with %aker County
Emergency Management.
Meanwhile, of¿cials said
U.S. Highway 26 through
Warm Springs has reopened
to traf¿c after having been
closed Wednesday because
of ¿re. Sparks from an R9’s
trailer that lost a wheel ignited
over a half-dozen ¿res along
the highway on the Warm
Springs Indian Reservation,
KT9= reported.
A double-wide home
was destroyed, and evac-
uation orders were issued
for several areas, said Clay
Penhollow, spokesman for
the Confederated Tribes of
Warm Springs.
Rix said the audit was “Àat
out inaccurate.”
“We had the thought that
maybe this was a form of
retaliation,” Rix said. “It’s
not dissimilar from the other
report in that it is not well
researched or well founded.
I’m not sure this is directed
as much at us as it is the
procurement function within
%PA.”
Avue criticized a 2013
Inspector General investiga-
tion into complaints that said
%onneville was discouraging
hiring veterans.

of¿cials say they did not
commission Avue’s anal-

responding to the recent
audit the agency is imple-
menting changes.
“We are committed to
addressing the remaining
weaknesses in our procure-
ment practices and estab-
lishing ¿rst rate purchasing

management, which are
critical to maintaining the

BRIEFLY
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — State health
of¿cials say a %enton County man has died
from West Nile virus, the ¿rst such death this
year in Washington.
The Department of Health said Thursday
that the man in his 80s was likely exposed to
the virus near his home. He was hospitalized
before he died.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention is testing to con¿rm the infection.
Ten others in Washington have been
diagnosed with West Nile virus infection,
with most of them in %enton County.

boat with 4 onboard
WINCHESTER %AY (AP) — Coast
Guard crews have found a boat with two
children and two adults onboard after it went
missing off Winchester %ay in Oregon.
Petty Of¿cer Katelyn Shearer says
Tennessee residents Jim Jackson, Michael
Jackson and two children, 10 and 14, were
found by a Coast Guard helicopter a day
after the boat was due.
Shearer says the four are tired and thirsty,
but otherwise OK. The 25-foot boat left Coos
%ay at 8 a.m. Wednesday to ¿sh for crab. It
was due back in a few hours, but didn’t show.

LEGAL NOTICE
You Could Get $164 or More
If You Bought Gas in Oregon at an
ARCO or ARCO ampm Station
and Paid a Debit Card Fee
Case Update
You may have seen a previous notice in this case. The Oregon
state rule on unclaimed money in class actions has recently
changed, and your rights may be affected.
People who did not previously receive a letter about this case,
file a claim, or opt out of this lawsuit may need to take action.
If this applies to you, you must file a claim or opt-out of this
lawsuit to preserve your rights. Any money that is not claimed
will be paid to Oregon Legal Services and an entity (or entities)
chosen by the Court.
What is this
case about?
An Oregon jury found that BP West Coast Products LLC
(“BPWCP”) charged more for gas than the amount registered
at the pump and failed to properly disclose its prices when
it charged a 35-cent fee to consumers who used debit cards
to pay for gas at Oregon ARCO stations and ampm locations.
BPWCP has denied the claims in this case and plans to appeal
the jury verdict.
Federal audit says %PA wasted
$5.2 million on nixed software
PORTLAND (AP) — A
federal audit says the %onne-

ware that was later replaced.
An audit released by the
U.S. Department of Energy’s

$5.2 million was wasted on
