Human power will be on parade
■ TRANSPORTATION:
Eugene’s Human Powered
Parade will start at 10:30
a.m. this Saturday

Move over cars. The streets are
about to be taken over by people
bouncing on pogo sticks, riding
their bicycles or using roller
blades to get around.
No, the city has not run out of
gasoline, and automobiles have
not been outlawed. This is a part
Eugene’s Human Powered Pa
rade.
The annual parade is devoted
to acknowledging people who use
alternative modes of transporta
tion.
“It is really just a way to bring
together all different kinds of peo
ple who do not rely on internal
combustion as a means of getting
around,” said Julie Masterjohn,
parade coordinator.
The parade, which is organized
by the Center for Appropriate
Transport, was first held in 1993.
The event began as a human pow
ered art exhibit and evolved into
the parade, said Jan VanderTuin,
co-coordinator for the parade.
Last year approximately 500
people attended and participated
in the parade. Hundreds of people
are expected to participate in the
parade again this year, Master
john said.
Face painting, music and other
entertainment will begin Satur
day at 9:30 a.m. in the Farmers’
Union parking lot on the comer of
5th Avenue and Olive Street.
The parade will begin at 10:30
a.m. The hour-long route will
travel along Olive to 13th Avenue,
then up 13th to Oak Street. The
parade then will travel along Oak
to 5th and back to the Farmers'
Union parking lot.
One of the groups participating
in the parade is the McCamack
Unicycle Children. The 20 chil
dren will be performing tricks and
routines on unicycles, Masterjohn
said.
A drawing will be held for
prizes including a commuter bike,
a two-child trailer and gift certifi
cates.
The parade is free and open to
the general public. For more in
formation, call 343-5568.
Relocation: New plaza will be constructed around cross

need a bigger piece of machin
ery.”
The bible college is postponing
their relocation party until the re
moval date is certain, Whitlow
said.
“A lot of the groups participat
ing in the celebration cannot
come to a celebration on Satur
day so we are going to postpone
it,” Whitlow said. “Memorial
Day we had a reconciliation at
the cross for the community.
Now it is time to celebrate the
cross’ transition to a new area.”
Whitlow said the relocation of
the cross is a blessing in disguise.
“The hill here at the college is
actually higher than the butte
where the cross is now, and there
is better visibility in the new
spot,” Whitlow said. “I actually
think more people will be able to
see it once it has been moved.”
The bible college is planning
to construct a plaza around the
cross to create an area where ser
vices and events can be held.
“We want to make the cross a
bigger part of the community
than originally was planned,”
Whitlow said.
Construction of the plaza is ex
pected to cost approximately
$25,000. Whitlow said the college
does not have money to fund the
project and is counting on dona
tions from the community.
