Expo to display alternative energy Alternative and appropriate non-polluting technology will be presented to the Clackamas County community April 21 and 22, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the College, according to Phil Boit nott, energy fair coordinator. . The second annual Experi mental Energy Exposition will focus on appropriate technolo gies for the small farmer and the homeowner in order to help meet energy needs cheaply and without polluting the environ ment, he said. "Last year between 3,000 and 4,000 people visited the 25 to 30 displays at the energy fair," said Ken Roberts, energy fair supervisor. Among the activities and dis plays planned are a solar panel demonstration, by the College physics students; an exhibit of creating wildlife habitat at home, by the John Inskeep Environ mental Learning Center; a film on appropriate technology, by Kirby Brumfield; and a compost toilet exhibit, by Ron Davis, of Cottage Grove. The compost toilet, soon to be put on the commercial mar ket, does not use water. It is highly pressurized and breaks down the solid waste within a week, which can then be used for compost, Boitnott said. Recycling material inform-. ation booths, a hot air balloon, a display on how to build a solar collector, wood heating and tee pee living will also be included in the energy fair. An energy simulator game will also be available. The game is programmed with information on how much energy sources will be depleted in a given num ber of years. Five people have computer ized simulators and they try to figure out how long a certain energy source will last at the rate people are using it, according to Roberts. There will be panel discussions from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.-on both days of the fair. Friday's panel discussion will focus on appropriate technology applied to the small farm. Sat urday's discussion will deal with appropriate technology applied to the home, both rural and urban. There will be horse and buggy tours from the Community Cen-. ter to the John Inskeep Environ mental Learning Center on both days. Speakers for the fair are "top notch local and regional ex perts," Roberts said. "We expect 5,000 to 10,000 visitors over the two day expo sition," Boitnott said. "The Energy Fair is still open to your creative input," he‘ said. "If you are working on any pro ject that deals with appropriate technplogy, alternative energies or environmental living, you won't want to miss this oppor tunity to display your goods and explain your ideas." The Energy Fair is sponsored by the John Inskeep Environ mental Learning Center and the College's Community Services department.

I Motorcycle class to execute safety fundament By Scott Starnes Of The Print Motorcycling can be an en joyable and safe experience if the cyclist follows the basic fundamentals of the sport. Motorcycle enthusiasts, whet her presently riding a cycle or who would care to learn the basic principles involved with motorcycling, will have a chance to increase their knowledge by enrolling in a motorcycle class beginning April 8. Sandy Galloway, assistant in structor of the two-week course, said that by taking the course, the participant will be far better off riding the streets than a per son who has not taken the course and feels the course will serve no practical value. "The bike is only as danger ous as the person who is riding it," Galloway said. "There are a lot'of things riders don't know about motorcycling." Galloway has volunteered her time and money to get the class established. "The College will be furnish ing the helmets and facilities for the class. The motorcycles will be furnished by local dealers in the area," she said. "We stress that all students come equipped with good heavy clothing such as Levi jackets and pants. Hel mets must be worn during the class as a safety precaution." After nearly being involved in a motorcycling accident, Gallo way feels this class will be an asset for the cyclist to prepare them for just such an incident. "The cyclist must be alert all the time. All bike riders are more vulnerable to traffic acci dents as compared to automo bile-related accidents." Galloway said. The students will become fa miliar with the fundamentals of the motorcycle,Galloway said. "Parking lot manuevering, balancing the bike, weaving, fig ure-eights, square corners, tight U-turns, panic stop and stopping procedures are just a few of the cycling terms to be covered in the class," she said. "We will be touching on a little bit of every thing." After the student has com pleted the course and receives his or her completion card which signifies successful fulfillment of course objectives, they will be- k T0P k come eligible for insurance re ductions with various insurance agencies, Galloway said. "The course will be taught by James Straughan, as well as my- skills," Galloway said. I Galloway said that then is open to all interested! duals who have a registered gon driver's license.
