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.

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-

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
