Bad neighbor
To the editor,
I went to Heppner to
view some property I had
purchased and made a bad
decision. 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

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.

apologies,

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. Call the Heppner
Office at 541-676-9146 or
the Condon Office at 541-
384-2023.
