Page 4 August 10,1979 Spilyay Tymoo Editorial E COOSH EEWA (The way it is) Letters to the Editor Aren’t people concerned? To the editor: A recent visit to Kah-Nee-Ta Village left me embarrassed and ashamed. It sure looked terrible. Boards and shovels were lying around, weeds were 2-3 feet high, and half the front lawn was dry. I hate to see Kah-Nee-Ta let down that way. Aren’t .our people concerned about their resort? A lot of time and money have been invested in that enterprise, but now I see complete disregard for its upkeep. I used to be the grounds keeper at the Village and I was piroud of it then. But I’ll tell you something--I’m not going back there. Chesley Yahtin Thanks for flowers The family of Annie Dick w o u ld lik e to e x p r e s s appreciation for the many flowers that were given in her memory and for all those people who attended the funeral. Special thanks to those who helped o u t a t the longhouse. It means so much to know that people care. Rose Mitchell and family Berry not retired In the July 27 issue of Spilyay Tymoo, the article about Dave Berry incorrectly stated that he was retired from Kah-Nee-Ta. In fact; Berry was injured on the job in November and is on compensation from Industrial Indemnity and has not yet been released by his doctor to return to work. Appreciates courtesy We would like to thank Pacific Power and Light office manager Jim Welch and his engineer for beine so courteous in dealing with the power line problem that arose the other day. Apparently last fall, tribal council passed a blanket reso lu tio n , approving the repair of underground power lines in West Hills. PP&L was informed by the Realty department that it was unnecessary for them (PP&L) to contact individuals in West Hills who would be affected by the construction. We were not informed at all by anyone that such work was going to be done. Mr. Welch was kind enough to decide to install the new line across the street from our house rather than run the line through our lawn. Thank you again.

Monday, August 6. Following X-Rays on Tuesday, doctors directed him to stay off his feet for the next month. Ullman had to cancel his scheduled trip through Eastern and Central Oregon and a w e e k e n d v i s i t to th e reservation. He had planned to do some fly fishing on the Deschutes and to attend the Huckleberry Feast and rodeo at HeHe. He also canceled news conferences in Ontario, Oregon and Boise. Speaking by telephone from Washington, D.C., Ullman said Wednesday that regional energy legislation now before the House of Representatives will provide rate relief for all residential and small farm consumers in Oregon. “ D o m e stic a n d r u r a l customers in Oregon will all receive the cost benefits of low cost federal hydro-electric power, $200 million in the first year and increasing rapidly after that,” Ullman said by phone. “With or without the legislation, power costs are going up. But with this bill, the savings will offset some of the increases for * Oregon Consul mers.” Ullman, chief sponsor of the legislation, said the extensively amended bill approved by the Senate last week provides an e x c e lle n t fo u n d a tio n fo r deliberation in the House. In addition to the rate relief,' Ullman noted, “The powercost and power supply benefits of this legislation to Oregonians are enormous: — P u b lic ly o w n e d a n d cooperative utilities will receive new c o n tra c ts from the Bonneville Power Administra tion with rates guaranteed to be no higher than they would have been without the legislation; — Direct service industries (seven located in Oregon) will r e c e iv e new l a n g - t e r m contracts, enabling them and their employees to plan their future in the state. “While the rate relief may be the most visible benefit,” Ullman said, “the legislation emphasis on the systematic and region-wide development of conservation and renewable resources may be the most important.” Under the bill amended by the Senate, conservation and renewable resources are made the top priority resources for •rrrt e tiY fg" p o w e r •* ‘here d s . ‘ Tribal Council Agenda
