I need to apol- ogize to the citizens of Heppner as I did not clean up after my Great Dane at the library. I want to be part of Heppner, and this was Fire danger policy addressed by CBEC To the editor, Fire season in eastern Oregon is upon us and the cooperative must be ready to react to the extreme conditions that caused cata- strophic fire-related damag- es over the past few years in Oregon and the west. Many electric utilities are working on ways to miti- gate the risk of wildfires to the communities they serve. Columbia Basin Electric Cooperative (CBEC) is developing a policy de- signed to protect public safety and preserve the re- liable delivery of electricity through its electric utility system. It is important for all consumers of electric power to understand that the cooperative may need to shut off or de-energize its transmission and distri- bution lines to minimize the threat of catastrophic events during times of extreme weather. These shutoffs are called Public Safety Power Shutoffs. Public Safety Power Shutoffs are another part of Columbia Basin’s ongoing program to manage the risk of wildfires. We are actively clearing the area under and near our electric lines and constantly updat- ing our electric facilities to maintain an electric util- ity system that stands the best chance to withstand a wildfire. However, it is clear from the events of the past few years that the use of Public Safety Power Shutoffs may be needed to be called upon as a last re- sort to protect our members and the safety of the public Brian Rystedt benefit planned A benefit dinner will be held July 31 at the Elks Lodge in Heppner to help Brian Rystedt with medical expenses. The benefit is to help relieve some of the financial stress for Brian and Marcy as he deals with cancer. The event will consist of a taco dinner for $10 per plate (or by donation), bin- go and a raffle. Doors will a bad act of a neighbor. No excuses to make as I just made an inconsiderate decision. When I am there next promise to do better as a new resident and dog owner. With my sincerest apologies, Geoffrey B La Peire open at 4 p.m. with dinner served at 5 p.m. Bingo will begin at 6. Those interested in do- nating prizes for bingo, or the raffle may contact Rhonda Acock at 541-571- 1584, Tonja Lemmon at 541-561-8953, Mike All- dritt at 541-571-1367 or Michael Haugen at 541- 314-5434. generally. Bonneville Power Ad- ministration (BPA), the federal agency from which Columbia Basin receives all of its power, has just released its Wildfire Mit- igation Plan that includes Public Safety Power Shut- offs as part of its tools to mitigate wildfire damages. Columbia Basin will be watching BPA actions to make sure we are on top of all developing events. Rest assured that Co- lumbia Basin is working with state and local agen- cies involved in protecting the health, safety and wel- fare of the communities we serve to best coordinate any responses that may be required in the face of ex- treme weather conditions. We will do everything in our power to keep the en- ergy flowing. But in the case where a Public Safety Power Shutoff is warranted, we will need to de-energize our electric facilities. We are working on ways to notify everyone affected that the power may be shut off. This is not an easy chore, but it is a task that we will take seriously. We are working with the critical local agencies to develop a communications plan to keep all informed. This letter is not sent to cause alarm. Rather, this notice is being sent to inform. It is important that we all stay alert and be prepared in the case a Pub- lic Safety Power Shutoff is required. Please make sure you have plans to go with- out power for a minimum of two days. I will be pro- viding more information at it becomes available. In the interim, please contact Columbia Basin Electric to update contact information (phone num- bers and email addresses) to better help us contact you prior to a PSPS sit- uation.
