Hood s r e c r e a tio n a l facilities throughout the winter was a blessing to businesses that suffered through the drought in 1901. All that snow, however, was looked on as a bit too much by the state Motor Vehicles Division Market opens with friends coming hack This drawing, courtesy of North American Dry Kiln & Energy Systems, shows how the firm hopes to incorporate solar panels to dry lumber. The Sandy firm has received bids from two companies that are interested in the solar driers. Solar panels The solar panels would be used as the roofing on a southern exposure of a large lumber drying kiln. Water would be heated for steam that is needed to dry the lumber The water is pre heated before it goes to the boiler to increase the boiler's efficiency to get the steam which is used to dry the wood It wou.d cut costs by 30 to 40 percent. ‘ When big lumber companies see that, it means a lot to them ," Allison said. In drying by condensation the timber is placed in a hermetic room and dried by a circulation of dry air, whose temperature changes between 10 and 60 degrees The a ir circulation through the piles is performed by forced ventila tion, by which moderately warm air ________ passes over the timber, absorbing its moisture and absorbing it. The air full of moisture is sucked out by a dehumidifier, dehydrated and re-entered into the room. The dehumifidier is manufactured by and Italian firm , Incomac, which N o rth A m e ric a n D ry K iln is representing in North America. There are 15 bids currently out on various projects, Allison said, which is why he anticipates a start-up in the next 60 days. One project just into the develop ment stage is the wave power research. Local general manager Lewis Yock, who spent 22 years as chief engineer at Coe’s in Beaverton, has an impressive list of patents, accor ding to Allison t™»-..*. <r.m Yock has applied for a grant from Bonneville Power Administration to study the wave project. That decision is pending, but is expected in about 90 days. The wave power project w ot' 1 re quire a barge 250-300 feet offshore with a hydraulic pumping station that would ride with the waves and eventually turn a generator to power a substation on shore for electrical storage. The project has caught the im agination of the World Bank, because of its interest in developing Third World countries. The Sandy C o u n try Market is open again this sum m er at N elson Memorial Park at the cor ner of 362nd Drive and Highway 26. one mile west of Sandy "The opening market on May 29 was a big success," said Pam Hauff, director. "We were thrilled to see our old customers back again." Country markets have sprung up across the coun try as an alternative to high priced produce ship ped in from hundreds miles away. "T h e Sandy area is capable of growing huge a m ounts of fre s h vegetables and fru it for our local people," said Jude Jensen, last year’s coor dinator. "T h e Sandy Country Market provides a place for the consumer and the farmer to get together," she added High quality handicrafts, herbs, plants, homemade bread, honey and pastries are available.
