Smart thinking
Plans by Kinzua Corp. to build a wood fired
electrical generating plant near its mill in
Heppner sound like good energy conservation
planning.
According to Harry Kennison, general
manager at kinzua, the generating plant
would use waste wood from logging
operations in the woods to fire its boilers and
produce electricity to run the plant, and have
a little left over.
With the general concensus around the
country that the US should get out from under
the thumb of OPEC, and that energy is now
becoming a somewhat scarce commodity,
plans to use waste wood to generate
electricity should be looked at seriously and
closely.
However, according to Kennison, Kinzua
hasn't been able to get anyone's attention at
the federal level where help could be
available for this project.
Granted, the project is not of the magnitude
of a Boardman, or a Trojan, but it does
represent sound conservation and smart
thinking when it comes to energy. A
renewable resource,' great volumes of which
are rotting and going to waste each year in
the forest, should not be ignored.
Perhaps small projects like this one don't
have political advantages as do construction
of larger generating plants, but they do have
a place in the energy picture of our country,
and, in particular, our state, which is so rich
in the renewable resource which would power
plants like these.

Cuhiin retui!es In ut'ctipv
hcrls nt the Veteran Adminis
tration ' V A medical center in
Tamna. Fla while Kick and
riisthlod cn-CI's are being

ouirat-'ed criticism from the
670 non-member Disabled
American Veteran I V
The Carter Administration
has ordered the Tampa V
medical center to reserve -in
hospital beds for ailinc Cuban
refugees. The VA medical
center in fiainsville. Fla .
ha been told to reserve r
medical and surgical licds for
this purpose On Monday,
while 13 Cuban refugees were
nccupvine beds in the Tampa
VA facility's psychiatric
wards. Ivcn American veter
ans applying for psychiatric
care were denied admission
due to lack of beds in the
hospital's psychiatric care
section.
The Tampa VA hospital has
been hit particularly hard by
Carter Administration budget
policies in recent years. I'n
derfunding and understaffing
at the hospital were causing
denial of treatment to many
eligible Tampa veterals long
before the massive influx of
Cuban refugees into Florida
began.
While this situation has its
parallels at VA health care
facilities across the United
States, the problem in Tampa
became so severe a year ago
that the DAV and a number of
VA physicians, themselves,
called public attention to it.
A headline in the Tampa
Tribune-Times on June 24.
1979. stated that "Staff Doc
tors Call Some VA Policies
Medical Malpractice." A few
of the physicians went so far
as to charge that some
veterans had died because of
these policies, which resulted
directly from inadequate bud
geting. "I'm astonished by the
crass insensitivity of giving
priority medical care in VA
facilities to undocumented
aliens at a time when men and
women who fought in our
nation's wars are being turned
away at the door." said DAV
National Commander Paul L.
Thompson.
He noted that the situation
could only become worse as
more Cubans enter VA hospi
tals, filling the beds allotted to
them. The DAV has learned
that Carter Administration
officials have contacted other
VA medical centers in Flori
da, searching for hospital beds
in which to place Cuban
refugees requiring medical
attention.
"This is a clear indication of
how the Carter Administra
tion really fells about the
nation's commitment to its
war veterans-how its policies
have become the complete
opposite of what they should
be." said Thompson.

concern for the refugees is one
