Energy service to be tested A set of new energy service packages that would reduce cus tomer's monthly energy costs while adding to their comfort or produc tivity would be tested under a proposal Pacific Power has filed with the Oregon Public Utility Commision. The new services would be introduced in several forms to Pacific's residential, commercial and industrial customers in selected test areas. They were proposed to the Commission June 30 as part of the company's $16.5 million decrease application and, if approved, would be monitored and evaluated over the next several years. Pacific Power manager Anita Decker said that in addition to energy cost savings, customers purchasing optional service pack age could expect a more comforta ble quieter home or office, or a more effective and productive bus iness operation. "Further, they would receive these long-term benefits without having to make a down payment or pay any initial, 'up-front'eosts," Decker stated.

The company also would calculate the amount of sav ings they would produce and what the company would charge to install them. If the customer agreed to pro ceed. Pacific would arrange to have the measures installed, including equipment and materials and pay for them. A monthly fee would then be charged to the customer for a set period of time. "By using Pacific's financial position, its lower financing cost and longer payback time frame, we believe we can offer customers a valuable energy-related service that enhances their home environment or business operation while it low ers their monthly expenses," Decker stated. "Not only could it increase the amount of energy efficiency resource available, but unlike some existing programs, a substantial portion of our investment could eventually be recovered directly from the partic ipating customer," Decker added.

I he additional time she'll have at home will also allow Tohet the opportunity to complete some of the many projects she has started that still need finishing touches. Her work with the 4-11 Bead work club will continue. Tohet has been involved in 4-H work for ?? years. Her involvement in this work originates in the need she sees in young people. "I want the children to remember things." Tohet ex plains. She talks to them with Indian words, tells them stories and teaches them about their cul ture while helping them learn bcad work. The children "need someone to show interest in them." she explains. Visiting the schools upon request will also be a priority for Tohet. She says. "I'll be glad to help." Tohet 'sduties went beyond house keeping at the Community Center. She says her tasks varied with each director. At one time she cooked for the senior citiens and helped .with community powwows. She helped in the arts and crafts room and sometimes answered the phone, which she admits she doesn't care to do. Her position as housekeeper also included gcttng along with people and "putting up" with crowds. She needed to know exactly where everything was located in case it was needed and she spent much of her time tidying up. She still wond ers why it is necessary to pick up after adults and children. She says, "I don't know what's so hard about taking a pop can to the garbage." Yes, she'll miss thejob but I ohet says it's time someone else took over the Community Center house keeping. She's turned these diuties over to the new housekeeper, Jeanctte Yazzie.

Due to budget constraints and final field inspection, not all tentatively sche duled areas will recicve treatment. General environmental considera tions can be found in the Manage ment of Pocket Gopher Popula tions Environmental Assessment for the years 1989-1992. A copy is available at the Forestry Office. Gophers are feeding on the see dlings in the plantations resulting in stunted growth and mortality, according to a report sent to Warm Springs environmental coordinator Gerald Hendrikson by forest man ager William Donahgu. "Unless Thinning proposed for two units The Warm Springs Bureau of Indian Affairs is soliciting envir onmental concerns in regards to the Sunshine Pre-Commcrcial Thin ning Units. These units are being proposed for thinning starting in the summer of 1989. The Sunshine Pre-Commercial Thinning Units consist of two units totalling approximately 19 acres located in Township 8, South, Range 10, East, Portion of Section 7, Willamette Meridian, Oregon. This area was last logged under the Cedar Creek sale in 1980, accord ing to a report issued by forestry officer Bill Donaghu to environ mental coordinator Gerald Hen drikson. The selection prescription utilized in this general area has left scattered to continuous groups of Clearcuts to The branch of forestry is propos ing to treat 95 acres of clearcuts on the Beaver Cable Sale with Round up. Beaver Cable blocks I, 2, 3, 4 and 8 are scheduled to be treated, using both aerial and hand applica tion. These blocks are located in Township 6 South, Range 9 East, Section 1 2; and Township6 South, Range 10 East, portions of Sec tions 7 and 8. Blocks I. 2. 3. 4 and 8 were burned in the spring and fall of I988 and are scheduled to be planted in the fall of 1 989.

The proposed action is to hand bait the plantations, depositing strychnine treated grain in the gopher bur rows. The intent of the program is to control gopher populations in order to facilitate plantation es tablishment. Tentative gopher treatment units are located at evaluation planta tions including Big Springs, Bull elk, Ccanothus. Code Creek, Mis tletoe Flat and Muddy Run. Seed orchards involved arc Budges and Swamp Creek. Other tentative units are located at Buck Rehab, Bull Elk clear cut. Camas Praric clear cut. Cedar Creek blowdow n. Chuck luck clear cut, Code Creek Rehab, small polc-sied Douglas fir and Ponderosa Pine. Stocking densi ties in the two proposed units are continuous and dense averaging 2200 trees per acre. Stand age averages 31 years. Ovcrstory Ponderosa pine and douglas fir in this area average 16 to 18 inches diameter (dbh), 75 to 90 feet in height and account for 3 to 5 trees per acre. Root Patho gens, diseases and insect popula tions all appear to be at endemic levels with little or no consequence to general stand development.

The application rate will consist of two pounds of active ingredient per acre. Of primary concern is the prox imity of Beaver Butte Creek to block I and a spring located in the northwest corner of block ttl. In order to protect those water sour ces from contamination, no aerial application will be allowed within 300 feet of the spring or the buffer strip along Beaver Butte Creek. The 300 foot buffer strip along these waterways will be flagged such that the applicator is aware of No children will be permitted in the building from 12 noon to 1 p.m. due to adults using the facility.

Big game use of this area appears to be minimal with very little evidence of inhabitation observed. Thinning specification for both proposed units are as follows: Residual spacing is prescribed at 14' by I4'except in openings or on the edges of openings where 10' by 10'spacing will be used. Treatment of these units under the regime des cribed above will represent the removal of 2004 trees per acre, accounting for 91 percent of the pre-treatmcnt total per acre total. Trees greater than six inches dbh wil not be treted but left as redicual stocking material. For more information contact Terry Shand at 553-2416. the spray boundary. Hand applica tion will be used to spray in the aerial buffer strip. A 1 00 foot buffer strip will be left unsprayed adja cent to the streams in block ttl. There is a stream adjacent to block 8 on the east side. The same precautions will be taken as in block ttl to protect the integrity of this stream. To minimize drift, aerial appli cation of herbicide will be confined to periods when wind speed is less than five miles per hour. There are no flowing streams in or adjacent to block 2, 3 or 4 If you have any questions, call Terry Shand or Budd Johnson at 553-2416. in August vised by persons trained in water safety and or life saving skills (in cluding student summer workers).
