Pc ,:)utage due to BPA error By NATALIE JOHNSON About 7,000 Mason County resi- dents and businesses experienced an enormous power outage Wednesday May 25, which Mason County PUD 3 is now attributing to a Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) error. The outage, which began at about 10:10 a.m. on Wednesday May 25, af- fected three PUD 3 substations, in- cluding, Mountain View, Johns Prai- rie and Mason substations. These substations serve all of the City of Shelton, Johns Prairie, Clo- quallum, Brockdale, portions of Arca- dia and Highway 3 out to Bayshore. All of these areas lost power until about 11 a.m. There were actually two outages. Power was briefly restored once, then went out again for twenty minutes or SO. PUD 3 Manager Wyla Wood briefed the PUD commission on the outage during the commission's special meet- ing on Tuesday, May 31. "Both of the outages were caused by inappropriate actions by some Bonn- eville people who were doing work at "We did put Bonneville on notice that if any damage claims come to us we will be forwarding them along." the substation," Wood said. BPA spokesman Doug Johnson said that the situation was an accident re- sulting from a routine repair. "We had somebody out at one of our substations replacing a meter board," he said. "We're looking a little further to make sure it doesn't happen again." Wood told the commissioners that she talked with a manager at BPA and hoped to have an opportunity to express her disappointment with BPA management soon. "Once is bad enough but to do it twice," she said. "They need to step it up on their thoughtfulness." PUD 3 spokesperson Joel Myer clarified what Wood meant by "inap- propriate actions" by Bonneville." "They were doing some mainte- nance ... and in the process of doing their maintenance, they knocked out the feed to the Mountainview, Johns Prairie and Mason Substations. Myer said there was no resulting damage to any PUD 3 equipment. "It just de-energized everything," he said. That was not the case for PUD 3 customers, Commissioner Bruce Jor- genson said. "For your information, it blew up my cable box," he said. Wood said that the PUD would hold Bonneville responsible for such dam- age. "We did put Bonneville on notice that if any damage claims come to us we will be forwarding them along," she said. BPA has blamed the error on equip- ment, Wood said. "It was a relatively new meter that they have up there and that was the excuse that was given," she said. "Be- ing the guinea pig certainly does not make it any easier."

Youth vandalize Hood Canal Scho,31 By ARLA SHEPHARD At about 3 a.m. this past Saturday, May 28, a young girl "threw rocks through two windows at Hood Canal School, as two other unsupervised youths watched. The act of vandalism was caught on one of the school's 16 security cameras, and school administra- tors identified the three young people, who are stu- dents at the school. "This is the first vandalism we've had in four years since our new building opened," said Superintendent Tom Churchill. "The old building had a lot of this done. It's disappointing to see this happening, and we hope it is a one-time event." The two broken windows are to Churchill's office at the front of the school and will cost approximately $1,000 to replace. The school has turned the case over to the Skokom- ish Police Department. "It appears all three are students," Churchill said. "We are very disappointed." Courtesy photo A youth suspect threw rocks through two win- dows at Hood Canal School last Saturday. fishing supplies!
