Pastor Honored at Anniversary Banquet AII are invited to the 5'h anniver sary celebration o f Pastor Jeffery W.

Cost to attend is $30 per person and $50 per couple. fro m Metro In addition to self-help improve ment guidance, the CEP hopes workshop attendees will learn to form new habits to cope with cold weather. Forexam ple.keepingthe thermostat set at a constant tem perature can drastically reduce heating bills. 68 degrees is ideal during the day while in the home and 55 degrees at night or while away. W orkshop leaders also rec ommend moving furniture away from drafty areas and layering cloth ing or blankets. “These things are easy to do and they don’t cost any money at all,” Spradlin said. A long w ith W eatherization Workshop, CEP also offers free classes on lead poisoning and water conservation. North Portland resident Robin Rains attended the street fair’s W ater Conservation W orkshop w ith her 9 -y ear-o ld d au g h ter Chelsea. Rains learned how to read her water bill, detect and repair minor leaks and how to install a fill cycle diverter for her toilet. Chelsea learned how to take apart a faucet. “It was great,” Rains said. “I’ve had a problem on and o ff with high water bills, I think 1 owe them about $1,900 right now.” John Hartog, Project Coordina tor and team leader for the W ater Conservation W orkshops, said the most important thing the public needs to know is how to read their water bills and where most o f their water is used. There are many m is conceptions in these areas. For example, Hartog said many people think they are billed for monthly usage when in reality homes are billed all year long based on their usage during the w inter quarter. So keeping water usage low in the winter helps all year long. Long hot showers may waste water, but the toilet is the number one area where extra water goes down the drain. “Often times toilet leaks go un detected,” Hartog said. “Because usually you ca n ’t see it and unless it’s ju st running all the time, you can’t hear it. Most toilet leaks just go right down into the sewer and nobody knows.” To find out how to fix that leaky toilet, w eatherproof a drafty house or check for lead levels stop by the Community Energy Project offices at 422 N.E. Alberta or call 503-284- 6827 to register for a free work shop. Homecoming to Build Pride continued from Metro Grant parent and professional urban designer Lloyd Lindley, who helped organize the event, said PGE Park is a nice place but it’s detached from the school. “T his G rant hom ecom ing game is truly about bringing Grant football home,” Lindley said. “For the first time, students can walk right out o f the last period o f the school day into the stands, the homecoming court can ride in convertible cars on their home field, and the home team can roar from itsown locker room. Having seen the impact o f this in subur ban schools, we hope to bring lb wanted to have a game here to boost pride in our school and gain community support. - Rob Kennewell, Grant Hi School athletic director them to Northeast in a relevant way.” After the game, the students will proceed to a homecoming dance at the Double Tree Hotel.
