BPA outages hit area
Several Bonneville Power
Administration outages hit the
Columbia Basin Electric Coop
service area the past week.
Columbia Basin Electric
Coop employees and members
spent a concerned weekend
over July 4 as lightning storms
resulted in several outages on
the BPA system and generally
centered at the BPA Board
man substation.
A BPA outage on June 28 at
.9 a.m. caused a brief 2 second
operation at ' the Boardman
Substation. Then on July 1.
3:53 p.m. another brief 2
second operation dumped the
BPA Santiam line and affect
ed the BPA Boardman Sub for
a similar 2 seconds.
On July 3. 6:58 a.m. light
ning struck near the Board
man BPA Sub. The recloser
was closed in at 8.02 a.m.
On July 5, 3:20 p.m. the
grounding bank at the Board
man BPA substation failed
and all power was again off to
the Sand Hollow, Heppner,
Ruggs, lone, Cecil and Vinson
areas of 1848 Member
accounts. The transformer
grounding bank was bypassed
and power restored at 7:16
pm. On July 6 (the next
morning) BPA took an outage
at their Boardman sub to
install some temporary
grounding transformer equip
ment. This was from 4.15 a.m.
to 5:32 a m. for 1848 consumer
members of Columbia Basin
Electric.
Indications are that the
relay equipment failure had to
do with the lightning on July 3.
Then on Sunday (July 6) at
11:10a.m. ten BPA poles were
hit by lightning and several
crossarms. One crossarm was
broken off completely and a
phase dropped on the ground.
Temporary repairs were
made and power was restored
at 4 27 p.m.
BPA will be making per
manent repairs this week.
Columbia Basin did not have
a single outage' of its' own
system during the week in the
Sand Hollow, lone, Heppner,
Ruggs or Vinson Areas.

Traffic fatalities
below last year
Only 42 traffic fatalities
were recorded during June
which is 45 per cent below the
figure for last year and the
lowest number for this month
since 1967.
Traffic deaths are down 14
per cent for the first six
months of 1975 as compared to
last year. There were 252
traffic crash victims for the
first half of this year as
compared to 293 for the same
period in 1974.
Gil Bellamy, Administrator
of the Oregon Traffic Safety
Commission reports that al
most half (122 of 252) of the
deaths for 1975 have been
people under 25 years old. He
points out that over America's
200 year history, there have
been 649,702 American sold
iers killed in battle in all wars
from the Revolutionary War
through Vietnam. By com
parison, over 2 million Ameri
cans have died in traffic
crashes in the last 70 years.
Since the greatest cause of
death up to age 37 is traffic
crashes, Bellamy is hopeful '
that an effort will be launched
to prevent traffic fatalities
similar in scope to an effort
which would be launched to
control any other epidemic
Bunco artists
working in state
Attorney General Lee John
son said that law enforcement
officials have been notified
that a large, well-organized
group of bunco artists are
operating wiihin the state. The
group, collectively known as
the "Williamson Gang." spec
ializes in solicitations of
elderly persons for roof and
driveway sealing and related
home repairs. Investigation
has -further revealed that
members of this organization
have been charged in this
state with crimes of shoplift
ing, theft by deception involv
ing checks and have been
suspects in burglaries.
Johnson said the group
generally operates door-to-door
soliciting home repair
jobs, and does not operate
under a business name. If a
homeowner is approached for
home repairs on this basis.
Johnson said, they should
contact their local law en
forcement agency, district
attorney or the Consumer
Protection Division. Johnson
added that before entering
into a contract for such
repairs, homeowners should
solicit estimates from a known
business firm and make
certain the repairs are necessary.
