(CHEHALIS)
Your Lewis County PUD electric bill goes up May 1. It’s a 5-percent rate hike. It’s
after a previous 8-percent increase last fall. The PUD’s Bob Geddes says the increases were
split to lessen the blow on customers. Geddes says they’re from the previous
voter approved initiative requiring additional use of renewable power.
Centralia City Light has also been increasing rates for the last two summers.
The final 5.5 percent rate increase will take effect this summer.

City of Bucoda Wants Back Into Flood Control Group (KELA Radio, Centralia, WA)
(BUCODA)
– They’re out. Now, they want back in. Bucoda bolted from the Chehalis River
Basin Flood Authority last January. The community just north of Centralia cited
worries over too much emphasis being placed on an earthen dam in the upper
reaches of the Chehalis River. That’s the main reason why the Chehalis Tribe
left the multi-agency organization about a year ago. The chair of the flood control group calls
the move by Bucoda welcome news.

Expensive 200-year-old book found at Centralia College nearly donated (KELA Radio, Centralia, WA)
(CENTRALIA) – A rare book that could be worth big bucks was almost donated by Centralia College. The only reason why it didn’t end up at the University of Washington? The 90-page book couldn’t fit in a box. Now, the 90-page manual about fruit is set to be auctioned in New York. It could fetch anywhere from $70,000 to $120,000, if not more. The book was donated to the college in 1964. It sat on a shelf until recently. The proceeds will benefit a loan program for students who need money for textbooks
