Transmission rate increases of 26 percent to 44 percent would be passed directly to industrial and residential consumers. On May 23, the White House fiscal 2018 budget included a cryptic entry for the sale of the Bonneville Power Administration's transmission assets. The proposed revenues from the sale are only 80 percent of the value of the assets being sold. This raises the question of why these valuable assets should be sold at a discount — and who would get the benefit of the discounted price. If the sale goes through, it also will raise novel regulatory issues. In the most likely scenario, the proposed sale could increase transmission rates by 44 percent. In a less likely scenario, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission might be persuaded to reduce the assessed value of the transmission assets to the proposed sale price, since the Trump administration proposes to sell the transmission system at a loss.

  • Hugh Mcgilvra Talk on Washington County Newspapers and Forest Grove History for the Tualatin Valley Historical Society
    Hugh McGilvra Talk on Washington County Newspapers and Forest Grove History for the Tualatin Valley Historical Society An audio recording of Hugh McGilvra, journalist and newspaper publisher in Forest Grove, giving a talk to the Tualatin Plains Historical Society on the occasion of his 50th anniversary of work. He talks about the newspaper history of Washington County for the first 25 minutes; the final 27 minutes are about his experiences working on the newspaper in Forest Grove and the community there. HM = Hugh McGilvra [00:00:00] [Recording begins mid-sentence] [HM]: ...practically everything in Forest Grove is that you don't know which is the egg and which is the chicken as far as Forest Grove and Pacific University are related. Historically, we know that they are intertwined and there has always been a relationship. I think as has been suggested by the introduction, that journalism in Washington County goes back to this date of about 1848. With a rather irregular publication of what was known as the Oregon American and the Evangelical Union, started in Tualatin Plains. Even if we ignore this rather odd publication as a real newspaper, there of course is still the Oregonian, which was actually started in Washington County, if you want to get your history straight. For a while, Multnomah County was not carved up into Washington and Clackamas County, until 4 years after the Oregonian made its [bow?] in 1850. This new county of Multnomah wasn't very highly -- was formed in spite of vigorous opposition of the Oregonian. Which regarded it as merely an opportunity for getting whatever the 1854 equivalent of the serving Democrats happened to be to get the opportunity for another office.

  • From the Beginning
    3 From the beginning Two centuries ago, many communities in the United States had newspapers, but none were in the Pacific Northwest territories of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. One century ago the number of newspapers in the region might easily have topped 750. Today, depending on how you count, the number is somewhere south of a third as many. As in most industries, the less stable publications didn©t last long, or merged with stronger competitors. Most newspapers that ever have published in the Northwest lasted only a few years ± no more than five. A relative handful still publish. Still, the talk about newspapers in the new millennium has become notably dire. As we mention working on this book to people in the business, a common refrain has been: ªYou©re not saying, let©s do this before the newspapers are all gone ¼ are you?º Well, no. That would be a long wait. Some newspapers in fact are in tough shape, but by no means all. Some have remained quite stable. Some even have expanded. Little noted but true: The Northwest has in this new century seen the launching of some new titles. Change really has been the constant. Early history ± launching The very first lasting and stable settlement in the Northwest, at what is now Astoria (founded in 1811), didn©t quickly generate a newspaper. The economy wouldn©t support it, since for decades after its founding Astoria was a one-shop stop, a single-company operation (under first American, then British, then American control again). Its first post office (a prerequisite for newspapering) was set up in 1847, but it was a couple more decades before a newspaper appeared there.

  • Dennis Dimick Oral History Interview, December 15, 2014
    Dennis Dimick Oral History Interview, December 15, 2014 Title “Bridging the Gap Between Science and the Public” Date December 15, 2014 Location National Geographic Society Headquarters, Washington, D.C. Summary In the interview, Dimick discusses his family background and upbringing on a farm south of Portland, his involvement in agriculture as a boy, and his first experiences with photography. He then describes his enrollment at Oregon State University, the furthering of his passion for photography and photojournalism, influential contacts that he made with faculty and fellow students interested in journalism, and his activities as a staff member at the Daily Barometer newspaper and Beaver yearbook. As he continues his reflections on his years at OSU, Dimick shares his memories of campus life, his fraternity, and working during the summertime. He likewise notes the advancement of his journalistic skill set while an undergraduate, comments on his early engagement with environmental issues, and discusses his employment with the OSU Office of Agricultural Information. From there, Dimick recalls his graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, his hosting of a radio program while there, and his broader impressions of life in the Midwest. Dimick then outlines his past work at a number of newspapers in Oregon, Washington and Kentucky, as well as influential people that he met during those years. The remainder of the session is devoted to Dimick's career at National Geographic. In this, Dimick recounts the means by which he came to be employed by the magazine, his initial duties at the publication, standout projects with which he was associated, and his increasing involvement in reporting on environmental issues.
