News MADD creates library display CCC has DUII resource center by Keith Casper Staff Writer In association with MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driv ing), Clackamas Community College has started a DUII (Driving Under Influence of In toxicants) resource center. The center is designed to inform the public about the severe hazards of driving drunk and to per suade people to make more sen sible decisions about alcohol. Displaying a vast array of posters, pamphlets, and periodicals, the center presents, a valuable and interesting look at a very serious issue. The theme of the center is “drunk drivers destroy dreams.” The posters that are up, for the most part, deal directly with the sub ject. There is a collection of 250 student-designed posters which the center displays. By changing the posters every two weeks, the center is always kept current and new. “It’s an excellent public awareness tool,” explains San dy Gilman, vice-president of MADD. She is very excited with the center and the college’s cooperation. “It will hopefully help stop people from driving drunk and save lives,” adds Gilman. “An important fact is that not just drunk drivers get hurt, while they are driving drunk...sober motorists get kill ed or injured by drunk drivers.” Last year there were an estimated 265 alcohol related deaths in Oregon “and these statistics are going easy,” said Gilman. The current death statistics only include drivers who were drunk when their ac cidents occurred. With the center in operation, there is a hope that more people will educate themselves about a serious problem and that more people will take a stand against drunk drivers. “The only way to stop drunk driving is if everyone gets mad at drunk drivers,” says Gilman. The center is located in McLoughlin Hall in front of the Audio Visual center by the library. Mega-Pak turns into success story Struggling would be putting it mildly. That’s how Mega-Pak Manager Russ Shroyer described his business during the summer of 1986. The Gresham smokehouse building company, which had opened its doors in February, was about to close those same doors in August. “We had no direction, no sense of leadership,” Shroyer said. That’s when Mega-Pak turned to the Business Center of Clackamas County, Clackamas Community College’s off- campus resource for small businesses. The firm enrolled in the center’s Greenhouse pro gram, an intensive training cur riculum designed specifically for start-up businesses, and within six months, was being touted as one of the center’s best success stories, with international con tracts and gross sales in excess of $370,000. Mega-Pak joined the j other clients of the Business Center at an open house Friday, March 6, at the downtown Oregon City of fice, 108 8th St. Displays, tours, information, entertainment and refreshments were «part of the 4-7 p.m. celebration. The Business Center is a member of the Small Business Development Center Network of Oregon^ Its purpose is to increase business success through respon sive education.
