to make neighborhoods safer. With the advent of autumn
just around the comer, PGE especially wants customers to
help identify which streetlights are out so crews can get a
jump-start on repairing them before the nights become
even longer.
"Stree0ights don't necessarily burn out less in the
summer; people just don't notice that the lights are out
because days are longer, and lights come on later in the
evening," said Dan Gauger, PGE street lighting services
supervisor. "We receive a large influx of calls in the win-
ter, because that's when people notice the lights are not
working -- when they go to work or their kids are waiting
for the school bus in the morning."
Customers can help PGE get a head start on fixing
stree0ights by calling PGE at 503-736-5710. Streetlight
outages may also be reported by sending e-mail to
LightOut@p corn or visiting
PortlandGeneral. com/Streetlights.
Most cities in PGE's service territory own the
streetlights within their boundaries. PGE provides mainte-
nance for 85 to 90 percent of them. Although PGE has an
Thank You for the Thistle
"Thank You for the Thistle" is an entertaining and
enriching book that encourages young people and adults to
develop a love of language. From author Doric Thurston's
amazing alliterations to her adorable story, "Thank You
for the Thistle" is a fun way for children to expand vo-
cabulary and cognitive skills.
Teachers and parents alike will delight in sharing the
warm and touching story with children as young Brent
Bernard helps Great Aunt Nellie feed her lovely birds.
Doric Thurston wrote "Thank You for the Thistle" in
honor of her Great Aunt Nellie, who introduced her to a
love of nature. She took care of her aunt after she devel-
oped Alzheimer's disease. Thurston also has three grown
children, Brent, Melissa, and Ellen. Two more books are
planned, each using her children's names, so look forward
to reading "The Greatest Gift" and "Forget-Me-Not" in
the future.
"Thank You for the Thistle" was illustrated by Mecca
Hawkins.

ongoing streetlight maintenance program, the company
also relies on citizens to pay attention to streetlight
outages in their neighborhoods, Gauger said.
Another easy way residents may become more in-
volved in preventing neighborhood crime is to follow
some basic safety rules. PGE offers several tips for resi-
dents to use to help protect their homes and neighbor-
hoods:
*Use both front and back porch lights from dusk to
dawn every night. A compact fluorescent bulb (instead of
a standard incandescent) helps keep energy costs down for
lights'left on all night.
*Make it look like someone is home -- even when no
one is. Interior lighting discourages criminals from enter-
ing a home. Using compact fluorescent light bulbs save
energy, and automatic timers can switch lights on and off.
*Use automatic timers or motion detectors in areas
where it is important to know if people are moving
around.
*Trim plants away from windows and doorways. Tall
plants around windows and doors prevent light from il-
luminating these key areas.
*Illuminate any side of the house that would other-
wise be in the shadows, especially those that have easily
accessible windows.
*Consider fighting the yard, driveway, steps or paths.
This increases safety and security and may also enhance
the appearance of the home.

There are also stories about a herd of sheep that predict
the weather and a restaurant named, "The Worst Food In
Oregon."
Pat Wilkins was a familiar face and voice to thou-
sands of Northwest television viewers. In his "Author's
note" he says that serious news has almost always been at
the top of any news broadcast, followed by other stuff,
such as sports, weather, the stock market and an oddity or
two. And then the kicker, a human interest story whose
purpose is to leave 'em laughing. Or if not laughing, at
least appreciating something other than mayhem.
Most of the stories in the book have been reported on
the media and these are some of Wilkins' favorites. They
cover human interest items in both Oregon and Washing-
ton.
Some of the story does include: Sagebrush Sandals --
(Fort Rock); The Biggest Small Park (Portland); Wash-
ington Pioneers (Tumwater and Centralia); Bridge of the
Gods (Columbia River--Cascade Locks); Sir Francis
Drake (Whale Cove); Big Red (Scio); The Last Flume
(Willard and Underwood); Lewis & Clark Dog; Abraham
Lincoln (who almost became an Oregon governor);
Homer Davenport's tombstone (Silverton); Sasquatch's
Agent (Stevenson, Wash.); Oregon Trail Tunes; Chief
Pauliua's Death (Antelope and Ashwood); Typewriter
Artist (who paints with a typewriter in Roseburg); Pioneer
Apple Tree (Fort Vancouver). Many other areas are also
mentioned in the book.
"Somewhere in the Northwest" is published by Bear
Creek Press in Wallowa, Oregon.
