The National Communication Association has selected
David Kosloski as the 2009
recipient of the Community College Outstanding Educator Award at the
95th Annual Convention of the NCA, the oldest association dedicated
to the communication discipline.
This award is given to an NCA member who has a minimum of five
years’ experience of teaching, scholarship, and service within the
communication discipline. Kosloski is a professor and debate coach
at Clark College, who over the past 11 years has successfully led
its debate team.
“I
was both thrilled and honored when I was told I had received this
award,” said Kosloski. “Though teaching has its own rewards, it's
icing on the cake when your colleagues recognize your efforts, as
well.”

Clark Public Utilities
reports record demand for electricity
Clark County consumers used a record amount of electricity this
morning with a utility report showing a peak demand of 1,115
megawatts between 7 and 8 a.m. That breaks a record of 1,063
megawatts set in December 1998.
High demand puts a stress on electric system lines and equipment.
However, only a few small outages have occurred this week.
During this cold spell, Clark Public Utilities encourages its
customers to use energy wisely. Here are some suggestions that could
help reduce energy use: check furnace filters and clean or replace
them when necessary, keep heat registers and returns clear of
furniture or other objects, keep fireplace dampers and glass doors
closed when the fireplace is not in use, and cover foundation vents
to keep your crawl space warmer.

four-month period from August through November. The surveys were
distributed to businesses and residents in Camas and Washougal by
direct mail, through port announcements and newsletters, and were
also made available electronically at the port website.
The survey asked local citizens for input on communication
preferences and opinions on port properties such as the popular
marina, Grove Field airport and the industrial park. The results are
now available to the public at the port website,
