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.

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

After the game, the students
will proceed to a homecoming
dance at the Double Tree Hotel.
