Observatory set to re-open in November CONTRIBUTED BY THE ELC The 50 ton crane (above) took 10 hours to hoist the 16,000 pound deck into place at the Haggart Observatory last week. The crane services were donated by Coast Crane. Many services and contributions have been donated to cover the cost of this massive renovation. $1.5,000 is still needed. John Swigert, ELC groundskeeper, left, does a jig in celebration of the deck being mounted upon the observatory structure. The observatory has been shut down for more than two years for repairs and renovations. Lidieth Cecibiano from San Jose, Costa Rica works her way ground the buffet offered at the luncheon. When asked about Clackamas Community College she said "it is big and clean and the people are very nice and kind." The Costa Ricans visited campus yesterday and spoke with many of the Spanish classes. They will be in Portland for four weeks.
