U S West announced that it will
sell its operations in Heppner,
Lexington and lone as well as
other small Oregon communities
to Pacific Telecom Inc., (PTI) of
Vancouver, WA. These areas
make up less than 1.5 percent of
U S West's business in Oregon
said a press release.
With this purchase, PTI will
become the third largest
telephone company in Oregon.
Presently, it serves 46,000
customer access lines in 34 com
munities throughout the state.
The U S West properties repre
sent an additional 16,000 lines,
which serve approxim ately
13.000 residence and business
customers.
Chuck Lenard, vice president
for U S West, said the sale will
strengthen the positions of both
companies in the state.
“ When we initially announced
the sale in November, we said we
would look for a buyer with the
technical expertise and commit
ment to serve these areas.. PTI
specializes in serving smaller
communities such as these,” he
said.
PTI is the 17th largest
telephone company in the coun
try. It serves approximately
400.000 customer access lines in
11 states. PTI also has long
distance operations serving
Alaska.
Bill Weinman, vice president
of PTI Communications in
Oregon, said, “ This transaction
will be good for both companies
and our customers. It fits very
well with our long-term business
objectives and we are proud to be
able to expand our service ter
ritory in Oregon. During the next
five years, we plan to invest more
than $20 million to improve and
expand service in the com
munities we are purchasing from
U S West.” Because PTI current
ly provides service near some of
the sale exchanges, the company
will be able to serve the expand
ed area more efficiently.
Terms of the agreement were
not disclosed. The boards of both
companies, the Oregon Public
Utility Commission and the
Federal Communications Com
mission must approve the sale
before it is finalized.
Lenard said U S West will con
tinue to serve the areas pending
regulatory approval and through
a transition period that could take
several months.
As part of the agreement, PTI
will continue providing equal ac
cess to long distance carriers,
operator services, extended area
service and 911 service.
“ Both companies will work
closely together to inform
customers and respond to ques
tions throughout the transition,”
Lenard said.
Other U S West service areas
included in the sale are Jewell,
G overnm ent Cam p, D rain,
Shedd. Glide, North Umpqua.
Camas Valley, Bly, Bonanza,
Malin, Merrill, Gilchrist, Echo,
North Powder, Durkee, Hun
tington, John Day, Seneca,
Bums, and North and South
Harney.

Removal of Excess
Ear Wax
The outer part of the ear canal
is lined with glands (called apo
crine glands) that secrete ear wax
or cerumen. Earwax is necessary
to lubricate the ear canal and pro
tect it by trapping foreign mate
rials such as dust particles. Ear-
wax also helps waterproof the
ear canals.
Earwax is removed by nor
mal jaw movement (eating and
talking). The wax rolls up into
tiny globules and is expelled.
Sometimes this natural process
is impeded, and wax begins to
accumulate in the ear canal. In
some individuals, the apocrine
glands are hyperactive, produc
ing excess amounts of wax. In
others, a narrow ear canal may
encourage wax build up. A prob
lem sometimes associated with
excess wax is the trapping of
water in the ear after swimming
or showering.
In the Service
Air Force Airman Christopher
E. Jones has graduated from Air
Force basic training at Lackland
Air Force Base, San Antonio,

During the six weeks of train
ing the airman studied the Air
Force mission, organization and
customs and received special
training in human relations.
In addition, airmen who com
plete basic training earn credits
toward an associate degree
through the Community College
of the Air Force.
Jones is the son of Lovann E.
and retired Air Force Major
Donald E Jones of Irrigon. He is

Some people use hairpins or
cotton-tipped applicators to re
move wax. These approaches can
damage the ear. and wax can be
pushed further into the canal,
making it more difficult to re
move. A better approach is use
of a wax softening agent. Ac
cording to a recent article in U.S.
Pharmacist, the only over-the-
counter wax removal agent that
is safe and effective is carbam
ide peroxide. After using prod
ucts containing this medicine, the
ear may be irrigated with warm
water to hasten wax removal.
