W ith a loaded deck, the Black
squad com pletely dom inated their
w hite counterparts, blasting them
105-89 Tuesday n ig ht in the P o rt­
land Trialblazers rookie game held
in the friendly confines o f Memorial
Ooliseum.
A s h irt sleeved crow d o f some
5,000 or m ore showed up to see
w hat the fu tu re held fo r the u p ­
coming year. The Black squad com­

But one must not forget that these
were o n ly roo kie s against rookies
and before h ailing the Ex-Cavalier
as the ultim ate successor to C alvin
N a tt’ s starting jo b , we should wait
and see how he p e rfo rm s in the

remember that Calvin came to Port­
land as a highly touted jum p shooter

w ards m ust fin d them selves in a
quandary as fa r as th e ir roles are
concerned. They c o n s ta n tly read
that the team is looking fo r a small
forward that can bury the 15-20 foot
jum p shot, then have coach Ramsay
fu rro w his brow whenever they o f­
fe r the same. C o u ld be very
preplexing indeed.
The biggest d is a p p o in tm e n t o f
this b rie f rookie camp had to be the
treatment Blazer brass gave to Larry
Fogle, the 6-6 guard o u t o f
C aniseus. I t ’ s tru e the man is 27
years old, and adm ittedly a well bit
old fo r a rookie, but M r. Fogle did

released. The m an can p la y. He
parted the net seven out o f ten times
fro m the flo o r , played good “ D ”
and showed that he was really com ­
fortable in the offense.
Just w ondering i f it was by co in ­
cidence that J e ff Lam p wore num ­
ber 30 during the rookie? Lamp, for
sure, is a shooter, but his rebound­
ing leaves something to be desired.
So now i t ’ s on to L A fo r P e tu r
G udm undsson. W e’ ll a ll aware o f
the desperate need the Blazers have
at center, and we’ re also aware o f
the fa ct that a d ro w n in g man w ill

it be sauce fo r the Ram s, then it
should also be sauce fo r the Raiders.
When Louisiana-P acific decided to

Atlanta, did we hear any objections
outside o f that organization? Nope,
it was merely a corporate decision.
T hat w as the subject of this series of
n ew sp ap er ads that grew out of the response to
o u r Oregon E lectric Energy Poll.
We asked o u r Oregon custom ers th eir
view s on altern a tiv e an d renew able energy
sources and how they see those resources in
the s ta te ’s energy future.
T heir answ ers p rom pted us to create
ads about o u r efforts to develop altern a tiv e and
renew able energy resources.
The ads also offered free booklets and
advice on sm all hydro, w ind, solar and g eother­
m al energy.
And judging bv the response, there are a
lot of people interested in energy.
After the ad on sm all h y d ro power,
people identified 33 poten tial sm all dam sites
th at we never knew existed. And we re also
ev aluating an additio n al 150 sites in o u r service
area. Many of the sites are being stu d ied to see
just how m uch electricity each can generate.
The ad on w ind pow er created a flurry
of 877 requests for ou r free w ind pow er booklet .
At last count, custom ers have installed 10 sm all
w ind-pow ered g en erato rs for a total cap acity of
m ore than 20 kilow atts.
Additionally, o u r w ind-pow ered
generator at W hiskey Run on the S outhern O re­
gon coast has produced over 7500 kilow att hours
in the first q u a rte r of o p eratio n , providing
valuable d ata on large-scale w ind generation
project sites.

Over 200 people asked for inform ation
on Passive S o lar hom es afte r we ran the ad on
so lar power. Al least 4 hom es are being b u ilt w ith
o u r Passive S o lar design guidelines in O regon,
W yoming and C alifornia. These hom es will act as
living lab o rato ries to test how effective Passive
S o lar designs can be in reducing h eatin g costs.
O ur ad on geotherm al pow er helped get
people all steam ed up ab o u t using the energy
from the e a r th ’s heat here in Oregon.
To help b ring the energy of the sun,
w ind and earth on-line sooner, we created o u r
own R enew able Energy D ep artm en t. Bv e v a lu a t­
ing each site on a project-by-project basis, we can
see w heth er it will be b e tte r for us to develop a
site o r p u rch ase the energy from an independent
project developer.
O th er a lte rn a tiv e resources, such as
w ood-fired cogeneration of electricity, will help
bridge the energv gap by using renew able re-
sou rces effect i vel y.
But the most im p o rtan t resource av ail­
able to all of us is still co n serv atio n . With help
from o u r p ro g ram s, people can co n tin u e to save
energy anil use all o u r resources m ore wisely.
