News The Clackamas Print Wednesday, January 29,1997 Phi Theta Kappa holds Training courses photography contest continue winter term Laney Fouse Editor-in-Chief The campus honor soci ety, Phi Theta Kappa, will join with other community college chapters nationwide and the Ryan White Foundation in a two-year international service project for AIDS awareness, called “C.U.E. — Compassion, Understanding and Educa tion.” As a young AIDS victim, Ryan White’s struggle with the disease and the attitudes surrounding it gained him na tional attention. The Ryan White Foundation was estab lished by his mother Jeanne following his death 1990; Ryan was 19 years old. The Foundation’s purpose is to provide AIDS education for young people and collect funds to support AIDS re search. To help in this collabora tive effort, the Alpha Xi Zeta chapter of Phi Theta Kappa will conduct a photography contest observing the theme “Picture Compassion.” To enter, photographers may submit black-and-white or color prints and pay a $3 fee per photo. Each contes tant may submit no more than four photographs. Only ama teur photographers may com plete. Prizes will be awarded to Streeter relocation continued from Page 1 smaller dose is required to propagate the disease’s char acteristics and make the per son unwell. In other words, you may become allergic and asthmatic to one of these molds only after you been ex posed to it.” Several staff members were concerned about the original reports from the previous physician last fall, and those questions were addressed by Carol Patterson from Plant Services. “We didn’t have a medical doctor of record at that point because we didn’t know where we were going with this. Dr. Emil Bardano’s instructions to you were very generic. He did not want to have one-on-one contact. That was not our re lationship with him. It was a very generic relationship. I think he lived up to what we asked of him,” said Patterson. She went on to say the re lationship was temporary while the college searched for a physician of record who had experience in this type of situ ation. Although no date has been set, remediation will in volve careful and painstaking cleanup. The cleaning will actually removè the particles from the buildings since Dr. Jarvis opposes the use of chemicals in killing off the liv ing mold organisms. The use of chemicals, he states, would present a whole new problem of sensitivity for some people. By ridding the buildings of the carbon and water sources, which proliferates mold, the main reasons mold is growing will no longer exist according to Dr. Jarvis. This is done by using HEPA vacuum cleaners designed to pick up very, very fine par ticles. Sometimes it is neces sary to vacuum at least three times over the same spot, test ing after each session. This is a time-consuming process but can be accomplished. “One of achievements for which I am best known is the ten-story courthouse in Florida where we HEPA vacu umed every square inch of that building, from the very top floor down to the basement,” Dr. Jarvis said. In order to accomplish the remediation, the college has put together a team of profes sionals, including Clayton En vironmental Consultants, CH2M Hill, Attorney Leslie King-ONeal, Williams Building Diagnostics and Dr. Jarvis, who injects a medical perspec tive on the environmental in formation provided by Clayton. At this point, the amount of time or work involved in solving the existing water in trusion and mold problems is unknown. Dr. Jarvis needs to review to the existing data as well as data currently becom ing available. “I think at least eight weeks is a reasonable time [frame],’.’ said Kirk Pearson about when the college could expect to hear about some early recom mendations from Dr. Jarvis. “This is not your straight forward, easy construction project,” said Pearson. According to Dr. Jarvis, those, who feel they are expe riencing any allergic-type symptoms should consult their personal physicians. the first three places, $25, $15 and $10, respectively.
