He explained that the shades are con structed of a thick, quilted-type By Shelley Ball Of The Print Learning how to construct shades in order to combat heat loss around windows is the focus of a three-day class offered by the John Inskeep En vironmental Learning Center (ELC). The Insulated Roman Shades class is part of a series in energy saving and will take place March 13, 14 and 20 from 7-10 p.m. at the Center Pavilion. There is a $20 instruction fee and a cost for usage of materials. The class will be taught by Laurie Fleming, a represen tative from a local firm which specializes in the building of Roman shades. “It’s a decorative approach to energy conservation,” ELC Director “Zi’y a decorative ap proach to energy conser vation. ” dows, an area where a lot of heat is lost in the home. Roman shades can be opened either vertically or horizontal ly and are designed to fit snugly inside windows. Such shades have been known to reduce heat loss up to 83 percent, and though Herrmann said styrofoam bat ting or foil-layered beams could be us ed to get the same results, the Roman shades serve as a decor élément, and therefore look better in the home. Participants in the class will design and build a Roman shade customized for a window in their own homes. Materials will be provided for con struction of the shades. Herrmann said material that is capable of cutting people should preregister no later than down on air infiltration around win March 9, so that the amount and costs of materials for each participant can be determined. The Roman shades class will be making its debut on the College’s cam pus, and Herrmann said participants will save money through taking the class. Shades sell for about $40 apiece, whereas by taking the class Herrmann explained people will not be “locked into the system of manufactured in dustry,” as they will have the knowledge to construct the shades themselves. The current maximum enrollment for the class is 15, however, 8 people are presently signed up. Herrmann also said that constructing Roman shades is a fairly simple procedure. “Anyone who has average sewing skills can han dle it very easily,” he said.

The most recent incident occurred approximately two weeks ago when a bottle of brandy was removed without permission from a customers’ car. Because of this occur rence, Marcus J. Essig, automotive programs chair person, decided not to allow the students to work on out side vehicles. “I decided to take this ac tion to teach the kids that they are responsible to take certain precautionary measures in regard to customer cars,” Essig stated. Essig informed the students the need to develop a care policy for the customers. “I did not do this as a punishment for the students,” he said. “I did it because I feel that good protective values start at the grass roots. You can’t learn them out in the business.” To date, the students have submitted a policy which has not been completely approved. It is expected, though, that they will have one completed HELP US—HELP YOU VOTE □ I can drive Turnout for the event in the past has been good, Buckley said, but he explained that due to the previous cancellation of the ski ball, it is difficult to tell how many students have signed up for the event again. “I think last year a couple hundred students (from the College) went,” he said. However, as for the turnout for this year’s ski ball, Buckley said the previous cancellation may lower the amount of par ticipants. Buckley explained Student Activities originally began selling tickets for the ski ball in January, but then had to refund the participants’ money when Mt. Hood Com munity College, the coor dinator of the event, cancelled it. Now that the ski ball has been rescheduled, Buckley said tie is not sure how many students are aware of that fact, although he said posters are currently being put up to alert students of the reschedul ing.
