Dance steps put springs back
Many types of people are drawn toward the
natural luxury of Cougar Hot Springs. For some the
attraction is medicinal, for others, it may be strictly
hedonistic.
Whatever the reason, an estimated 15,000 people
enjoy the hot springs year-round.
And they have the efforts of the Friends of the
Springs Trust, Inc. and the flexibility of the Forest
Service to thank for keeping them in hot water.
The trust has cared for and protected the springs,
located about 50 miles east of Eugene on Route 126,
and its users since June 1. On that day, they entered
into a unique, renewable one-year permit agreement
with the Forest Service.
To help the trust meet the springs' maintenance
and improvement costs, a benefit dance will be held
this Saturday at 8 p.m. The group receives no
assistance from the Forest Service.
In 1978, the Forest Service developed an inten
sive management plan to match the intensive use of
the springs, but budget and personnel cuts forced
the agency to begin considering other options this
January — including outlawing its use altogether.
The final dec is ion was to allow a private, non
profit group to manage the springs. To discourage
crime and avoid night closure of the springs and the
campgrounds, the trust agreed to provide a perma
nent caretaker. In the spring, they plan to put in safe
ty decks around the five or six individual pools.
Crime has dropped noticeably at the springs, ac
cording to the Forest Service. The chief enforcer for
the Forest Service and a state patrolman estimate
Memorial Day to Labor Day "incidents” were down
to six from last year's 72.
Trust member Michael Donnelly says the group
is looking to involve "as many people as possible.”
Contributors as well as volunteer workers are need
ed, he says. The trust can be reached at 683-3533.
Tickets for the dance are available in advance at
the EMU main desk for $2.50 or $3 the day of the
show. The dance is sponsored by the Survival
Center.
Want a slice of the future today?
Computer-operated kitchens,
butlers resembling R2D2 and fur
niture covered with metallic silver
material may be images brought
to mind at the mention of the year
2001.
But the Lane County
Fairgrounds will offer a slice of
that future today through Sunday
at the Exhibit Hall, where a wide
variety of products and ideas from
the 1980s to the 21st Century will
be exhibited.
They range from the highly
scientific — robot and computer
demonstrations — to the highly
imaginary — a collection of
futuristic tabletop displays depic
ting elementary school students'
views of the year 2001.
Computer uses in education will
be featured, including a
demonstration by the “Eugene 4-|
Whiz Kids." Local organizations
such as the University department
of chemical physics and the Ad
tronics and Energy Kinematics
companies of Springfield also will
hold exhibits throughout the
exposition.
Richard Hersch, dean of the
University graduate school and
associate provost for research, will
lead of# a lineup of speakers today
at 4 p.m. Hersch will address the
question "Are We Becoming a Na
tion of Techno-Peasants?"
Six other speakers will discuss
pertinent issues throughout the
weekend.
There also will be slide shows,
beer and wine gardens and free
drawings for a Sony Walkman
television, an Atari 600XL com
puter and a complete Kaypro II
business computer.
Admission is free. For more in
formation, call Future Expositions,
Inc., 341-3572.
