Project to assist area handicapped
Resource center proposed
The human services department at Clack
amas Community College is working on a
project that will give handicapped adults in
Clackamas County an opportunity to pro
vide a real service to county residents.
Jerry Jamison, director of human services
at CCC, is working with county and state
officials to develop a handicapped resource
center. The center would operate a pro
gram with three major thrusts.
First it would act as an inter-agency re
ferral and advocate center to secure com
munity services for the handicapped.
"There are approximately 20,000 adult
handicapped in Clackamas County who quali
fy for services but these services are frag
mented," said Jamison. "There are 15 state
agencies which have services pertaining to
the handicapped and no comprehensive
plan."
The second thrust of the program would
be to act as a focal point for organizing
self-help activities for handicapped adults.
"Handicapped adults tell me that they
'want to be treated as a community resource
rather than a community detriment,"' said
Jamison. "Many of the needs of the handi
capped can be met for and by themselves."
The third thrust of the progr,
do this by providing community!
the handicapped, according to Jam
"In the practicum class I teach
I was having trouble finding place
handicapped students in comm™
even though they are volunteers,
they're handicapped," said Jamisor
"From our point of view the!
is the most exciting," he said. "I
get the handicapped involved inf
a community service."
He hopes to do this by setting!
tralized information and referralc
the CCC campus to be staffed andc
by handicapped persons.
The center would include a 24h
free telephone and would proi/i(
mation on county services availabl
general public.
"The three general goals of th
are to respond to the needs of I
handicapped for education, employ!
enrichment," said Jamison.
Jamison hopes to have the haul
resource center established in a I
the campus with a coordinator!
phone system by September.

CCC hosts Plymouth Trouble Shooting contest
High school students from throughout
Oregon met earlier this week in the parking
lot behind Barlow Hall to compete in the
1977 Plymouth Trouble shooting contest.
The contestants, working in teams of two,
were given a new Plymouth Volare to work
on.
The cars had previously been tampered
with so that each car had the same number
of malfunctions. In this contest there were
seven. Teams were timed against the clock
to make the cars run according to all fac
tory specifications.
The contest, usually lasting about 18
minutes, lingered on in the rain for 90
minutes. Eagle Point High School was the
first team to get their car running and to
the judges.
When all the written scores and mech
anical competition were tallied Eagle Point
won first place, Sprague High School second,
and Junction City came in third. Roseburg
