A vocational instructor at Clackamas
Community College has had an article
published in a national television magazine.
Norm Herman, video technology in
structor, was asked by the editors of
"Educational and Industrial Television" to
write an article. The subject of the article
was left up to Herman.
Herman wrote about how to talk and
act in front of a TV camera. The article,
entitled "The Video Performer," was writ
ten in the hopes of assisting the average
person to become more at ease in front of
the camera, Herman said. The article has
been given to people who come in to do
community services productions at the col
lege and to Herman's video students.
The video department has done numer
ous community service productions, Her
man said. They have produced a program
about cardiopulmonaryresuscitation(CPR)
which has been used statewide and also
in Vermont in training emergency medical
technicians.
Besides a production for the Oregon
Heart Association on CPR, Herman and
his crew have assisted the Oregon State
Police and Clackamas County Sheriff's De
partment in a murder investigation and
Pacific Northwest Bell in setting up a video
department of their own.
Herman said that they have assisted
many churches and schools. Among the
schools he has helped are Pacific Univer
sity, Lewis and Clark College, Portland
Public Schools and Oregon City Public
Schools.
"Mainly we show them how to set up
their own video program and then they go
off and do it on their own," Herman said.
Herman has built the video department
without assistance from professionals.Steve
Johnson, a CCC video graduate, is also a
part of the video crew. Between Herman
and Johnson the program has grown from
a black and white camera set-up to a three
room department.
The department facilities now con
sists of a studio, lab and front room. The
front room includes a drafting table, black
and white control booth and a large shelf
for storing video cassettes.
OST, a national ham radio magazine, is
printing a story about Herman saving a
ship at sea. Herman was listening to his
radio when he heard a distress call. He ra
dioed for more information andthen radio
ed the Coast Guard for aid. The ship was
located off the Canadian coast. OST has
also asked him to write an article on how
to modify a ham radio.
Indoor playground organized
as parent, child co-op effort
The Clackamas County Indoor Park, a
winter playing facility for children, has begun

who handled organization.

cooperative, the facility will feature large
climbing-type toys and slides for pre-school
children to occupy rainy weekday mornings.
The play facility is located at the Oregon
City National Guard Armory, 204 John

GED instructor
elected to board
A Clackamas Community College General
Educational Development (GED) instructor
was recently elected to the board of directors
of the Oregon branch of the Orton Society,
Inc.
Bernice Peachy was appointed to the board
during a seminar entitled "Success for the
Learning Disabled Adolescent," at the Oregon
Medical Association conference room in
Portland, Oct. 14. The appointment is a
three-year term.
The Orton Society, Inc., is a non-profit,
scientific and educational association commit
ted to the study, prevention and treatment of
specific learning disabilities.
The seminar was specifically concerned
with the many children and adults with
average or superior intelligence who experi

and math, Peachy said.
cover toys and rental, according to Cheryl
Keithan, Redland, one of the parent organi
zers.
"This is not a drop-in center. Our one
rule is that one parent per family must attend
the play area with the children," said Keithan,
who is also a Clackamas Community College
student. "This gives parents a chance to get
together, too."
The facility held an open house this morn
ing to mark their first week. The Indoor Park
will be open for regular business beginning
next week.
"The whole idea of the park began when
parents around Oregon City realized there are
no facilities for small children in the area,"
Keithan said. "This facility is non-profit and
modeled after one that has been operating in
the Lloyd Center in Portland for the past four
years." "There is also a similar facility that
has just opened in Beaverton," she said.
