Randall is replacing Ruby Kunze, who is retiring after 17 years. “Ruby cannot be replaced, but I am here to fill her void,” said Randall. She started as Administrative Secretary in the Small Business Development Center during Christmas break week. The SBD is a program at Harmony that was started in 1984 for entrepreneurs. People wanting to open their own business can take courses and attend seminars to learn about opening and maintaining a busi ness. “We are a support for the small business person,” explained Randall. “A ‘passer-on’ of infor mation to connect people to the right resource. “The SBDC coun sels people, helps them get in touch with the right parties to borrow money from, and provides sup port for the small business owner. Yowell is backat Harmony in the SBDC after taking some time out to work in telecommunica tions at Washington Community College. She came back to Har mony last Spring part time and returned to permanent full time in December. “I am glad to be back,” she stated. “It’s a great place to work” Her history at Clackamas Community College started in 1978 when she attended school here. She graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education. She then went to work as a full-time employee in the Community Education Department. From there she became a full-time employee at the §BDC for four years before shewent to the job at WCC.

CORRECTION: Volunteers needed for drive by Margy Lynch Staff Writer ASG will sponsor their sec ond blood drive of the year today, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Community Center. The event is sponsored by the American Red Cross. ASG Assistant to the Presi dent Ken Ingra m, who coordinated both of the drives, said that 85 units of blood were collected at the October 25 drive. “Last time we had about 119 people show up, but a lot of them were turned down for reasons like they weren’t feeling well,” said Ingram. Ingram said the need for blood in the Northwest area is great because “the blood that is donated comes from only five percent of the population. We have to sup port all the local hospitals too,” Currently, one aspect of her job involves a pilot program run by the SBDC. Two interns from the business program are employed at Harmony. They work four hours a week to develop the skills they are learning in Employment Management Development classes. Ingram added. Ingram distributed flyers throughout the community, hop ing to get more people to donate. “At the last blood drive most of the donors were students and faculty of CCC. We had a lot of first-time donors,” said Ingram. Ingram emphasized that if only 10 percent of the students gave blood, “we would have an incred ible blood drive." In the last issue of the Clackamas Print a story on the tax levy had some incor rect information. Clackamas Community College doesn’t have a tax base at this time. It was reported that CCC does have a tax base. Only .05 of every dollar goes to CCC from local taxes, not .55 as was reported last week The Clackamas Print re- grets the errors. centimeters 55.93 Colors by Muriseli Color Services Lab
