DAWSON ROW HOUSES
CITED FOR UUARIUTY
Dawson Park Place, a new sev­
en-unit row house development in
Portland’s Eliot Neighborhood is
being recognized as an example o f
good urban and community design.
The developers o f the housing
project are being awarded one o f the
first ever G o v ern o r’s Livability
Awards by Livable Oregon, a non­
profit charitable organization put­
ting the spotlight on efforts support­
ing O regon’s transportation and land
use goals.
Dawson Park Place was built by
the private non-profit corporation
HOST (Home Ownership a Street at
a Time).
“ We are delighted to receive
this exceptional award which focus­
es on the importance o f providing
affordable home ownership for the
citizens o f this state,” said Howard
Nolte, HOST executive director.
Dawson Park Place is one o f the
largest HOST projects in the history
o f north and northeast Portland, the
result o f a joint venture between the
organization and Portland Commu­
nity Design, also a non-profit corpo­
ration
Located at the corner o f North
Williams and Northeast Morris, the
housing also received support from
U S. Bank, Portland Development
Commission, Emanuel Hospital and
Pacific Power and Light.
Livable Oregon is made up o f
citizens, businesses and public offi­
cials concerned with the maintenance
and well-being o f the state o f O re­
gon. Its mission is to build livable
communities through inner city revi­
talization, education and advocacy
for good development.
Since 1991, HOST has created
35 affordable home ownership op­
portunities for low and moderate-
income families.

o f these new homes, call 331-1752.
Oregonians Can Get Cool Savings
Oregonians can get some cool
savings this summer and save on
their heating bills this winter. Cash
rebates o f up to $400 are now avail­
able to help anyone who heats with
oil save money through energy con­
servation.
As a special incentive, the Ore­
gon Department o f Energy State
Home Oil Weatherization (SHOW)
program is offering all households
that heat with oil cash rebates o f 25
percent o f the cost up to $400 for
insulation or a new high efficiency,
flame retention burner. Funding for
the rebates is limited and will be
available with no maximum income
limit on a first-come, first-served
basis until the money is gone. Orego­
nians who heat with oil can call the
SHOW program to receive a free
home energy audit, a free furnace
efficiency test and for a limited time
only, cash rebates o f up to $400 for
money saving insulation or a new
high efficiency oil burner. Low inter­
est loans are also available to pay for
those measures and for new, energy
saving windows or high efficiency,
replacement oil furnaces. The loans
are offered by participating lenders
throughout the state at 6.5 percent
interest to people who heal their home
with oil.
Through the free home energy
audit, homeowners and renters can
learn what they can do to save the
most money. Each homeowner or
renter can receive one free home
energy audit. Trained energy spe­
cialists will go through their home
with them and tell them how much
the measures may cost and how much
they can save. They can then decide
which actions make the most sense
for them. People who have already
had a SHOW audit can still qualify
for up to $400 in cash rebates. All
rebates must be approved by the O r­
egon Department o f Energy before
the work is done.
Anyone who heats their home
with oil can schedule a free home
energy audit by calling SHOW toli-
free at 1-800-452-8660 statewide or
at 659-3204 in Portland. People who
want to take advantage o f the special
rebate offer should call soon before
the money is gone.

Pacific Power’s Tips
For Keeping Cool
1. Keep shades andblindsclosed
during the heat o f the day especially
if your windows face south or west.
2. Use light co lo re d sh ad es
or b lin d s in the sum m er to re fle c t
the su n ’s rays. R eflectiv e w in ­
dow film also will w ork b u ty o u ’ll
w ant to rem ove it when the w eath ­
er gets cold.
3. Incandescent lights generate
heat, and so do dishwashers, ovens
and dryers. Use lights only when
needed and run heat-generating ap-
pl iances in the evening or early morn­
ing.
4. When cooking, use micro-
wave ovens, hibachis and outdoor
barbecues.
5. Use fans, Small fans cool you
directly by evaporating moisture from
the skin. Box and ceiling fans cool
your home by moving air within
rooms or throughout the house. Win­
dow or attic fans replace air in the
house with cooler air from the out­
side.
6. Plant deciduous trees (trees
that lose th eir leaves) on the south
sid e o f y o u r bouse. T hey w ill
block the sun in the sum m er and
let w arm ing rays th ro u g h in the
w inter. P lant e v e rg re en s on the
north and w est sid e to block the
su n ’s heat.
7. Install insulation in attic, floors
and walls. Insulation makes your
home cooler in the summer and warm­
er in the winter.
8. To seal air leaks, use caulk­
ing, sealants or crack filler around
windows, doors and other areas.
9. Open windows in the evening
and early morning when it’s cooler
When you leave the house, close the
window to trap the cooler air inside.
Ventilate at night by opening win­
dows and using fans.
