Pacific Power
Customers of Pacific Power in
Oregon will see a reduction in their
electric bills beginning April 15. The
decrease in power prices is the result
of benefits the company receives from
the ballot measure 5 property tax
initiative.
Pacific had filed with the Oregon
Public Utility Commission February

million annually. It received
permission to do so April 13.
"We've seen a reduction in the
property taxes we pay to support
schools and government services, just
as many other property owners in
Oregon have," says Pacific Power
manager Bob McConnell. "This
decrease passes those savings through
to our customers."
The reduction includes property
tax savings that have been

Student behavior Improves
The behavior of Warm Springs
Elementary School students continues
to improve each day. Students are
showing that they understand what
behavior is expected while attending
school and are following through with
the consequences as requested. Thank
you parents for assisting by continuing
to talk with your children about what
behavior is acceptable and what is not.
Parents and community members are
encouraged to contact Dawn Smith,
Assistant Principal, whenever you have
a concern about student behavior, have
suggestions about ways to deal with
behavior issues, etc. Thank you again!
Slmnasho news!
When you call Simnasho
Elementary School do not be surprised
if you now get an answering machine.
With only one teacher and educational
assistant (part-time) it can be very hard
to answer the phone during instruction
time. Please do not be discouraged.
Messages are checked regularly and
calls returned by the teacher or
educational assistant. Simnasho
students are participating in the testing
that Warm Springs Elementary School
students are now doing and telephone
interruptions make concentrating
difficult.
Apologies
I would like to apologize to the
community of Warm Springs for
driving under the influence of alcohol
back in June of 93. I know it was
wrong and I am paying for it with a
little jail time. It really hurts the mind,
body & soul being inconfinement, so
a little advise to whoever want to
listen. If you are going to drink, stay
home please, jail is hard to handle,
even if its just a few weeks or days.
Starting Over
