“
It was our best game so far, especially as a team.” Khadijah Kirkland Freshman Defender Chris Browarski The Clackamas Print
Cloudy fall weather was not able to drown out the character of the Clackamas women as they donned bright pink jerseys in honor of breast cancer awareness month. Last Friday afternoon, in a match at Oregon City High School’s Pioneer Stadium, CCC Cougars tied Lane Community College Titans. Clackamas No. 4 Khadijah Kirkland is pleased with their teamwork. “It was our best game so far, especially as a team,” said Kirkland. It seemed that the hardfought, stalemate battle didn’t discourage, but brought out the competitive spirit in the Cougars. Clackamas has been successful this season, but they still see room for improvement as they continue to learn to work together. One of this season’s freshmen, No. 17 Claudia Flores, is excited about this opportunity. “I think it’s a really good experience starting out as freshmen,” said Flores. While the match remained scoreless through 90 minutes of play, both sides looked competitive as the top two teams in the South region squared off. The Cougars started off the first half eagerly with two shots on goal. Lane also had a couple
of nice shot attempts early that were saved by Clackamas goalkeeper Melanie Trumbull. Assistant coach Miriam Coto commented on Trumbull’s perseverance. “Melanie works really hard, she’s really intense. We kind of have to tranquilize her sometimes, but she’s a good egg,” said Coto.
Clackamas continued their aggressive attack with eight shots in the first 45 minutes, four of them very close, but stopped by Lane’s goalkeeper Samantha Schoene. At halftime the score was still 0-0. Please see SOCCER, Page 6

It’s not everyday that you have a world-renowned artist on the Clackamas Community College’s campus, but that is what happened last Thursday. Fernanda D’Agostino, a Portland-based artist known around the world for her mixed-media art is currently being shown in the Alexander Gallery. D’Agostino, who has accumulated many awards during her 30-year career, teamed up with Marylhurst University for The Clackamas County Cultural Coalition grant. Under the grant, D’Agostino agreed to do some work at CCC. This instillation, called “On Screen: Fernanda D’Agostino: Single Channel Videos 2007-2013,” depicts five videos creatively connected together on a constant loop, projected onto an Alexander Gallery wall. Her work draws influence from science, propaganda, lamentations and her own personal life. The videos explore all that you wouldn’t see with the naked eye.

A white, Ford 14-passenger van pulled into the bus-turn-around in front of Clackamas Community College. Like a football team lining up for the last scrimmage of the Homecoming game, students crowded the Clackamas shuttle stop waiting for the doors to snap open. The lack of visual markings on the Clackamas Town Center shuttle set it apart from the other public transportation vehicles that call CCC a transportation hub — TriMet and the South Clackamas Transportation District. Shuttle driver Brent Drake commented on the issue of overcrowding. “Constant overcrowding is a problem in the early morning and again on the last shuttle heading to
Clackamas Town Center,” said Drake. “But, plans to add a second bus to the rotation is in the works. The second bus will be roomier; also a 14-passenger van, but with more elbow room.” Drake has been a driver for four years and enjoys driving the CTC shuttle. “It’s a good job,” Drake added. The college contracts with local provider Premiere Valet to drive the shuttle and keep to the schedule set by the school. The free-to-ride shuttle service from CCC to CTC started in 2010, a year after the MAX Green Line opened in Town Center. Janet Paulson, marketing manager and public information officer for CCC, explained the purpose and importance of the shuttle.

“[We] saw a need to continue the public transit from Clackamas Town Center to Clackamas Community College with minimal travel time,” she said. “We are pleased to offer this service and hope to see it expanded and improved.” In its infancy, the shuttle only ran four days a week, Monday through Thursday, and had an extra stop at the county offices in Oregon City. As transportation needs grew, so did the shuttle service’s sched-
ule. Friday service was added, which streamlined the route between the CCC and CTC. As the 2013-14 school year opened, the college administration began tracking calls to the Cougar Call Center about student issues and concerns with the shuttle service. The students voiced their concerns and the administration appears to have been listening. Starting Monday, Oct 14, the CTC shuttle has a new helper — a second bus with a staggered schedule to keep CCC students moving forward. Brenda Marks, who is CCC’s faculty coor-
dinator and overseees student life and leadership, said the goal is to help students. “We’re really trying to respond to the students’ needs,” said Marks. “This is a trial to fit the needs and make sure the ridership is there.” The college will post the new shuttle schedules showing times for both buses in the ASG office, as well as the bus turn-around. The schedules are also available on the college website. For further information or questions, contact the ASG office in CC 152 (right inside the cafeteria).

Warning: Don’t call them guards Erin Carey The Clackamas Print
Scott Kalanikai The Clackamas Print
If there’s one thing that Clackamas Community College’s Head of Security Suzy Isham, wants us all to know, it’s that she’s not a “security guard”. It’s little known that our campus safety officers are more than Taser-toting security guards, as most would think. In fact, Isham and the rest of the officers at CCC have a much larger role. “All of the campus safety officers that we have, as well as Harmony and Wilsonville, we are all special deputies through Clackamas County Sheriff’s office, so we all have full police powers here to enforce the law,” Isham said. “As such, we all carry weapons, because we’re police officers,” Although campus security comprises special deputies through CCSO, they are their own department. Eriks Gabliks, the deputy director of the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, comments on their lack of connection to CCC. “Clackamas Community College is not recognized by our department,” said Gabliks. Campus safety is an entity that functions on its own, bringing students the security that they need, especially during a time when school shootings have dominated headlines. With the focus on school-based shootings it’s no wonder that there might be rising concern around campus about the amount of security we’re surrounded by. In fact, according to Isham, CCC is the only campus to be armed in Oregon. Isham and her team of seven police officers and student campus safety cadets work year round on campus, answering calls about everything that happens on campus. “If something happens, we’re not calling 9-1-1. We are 9-1-1,” Isham said. CCC’s Campus Safety is support-

ed by Oregon City’s police and fire departments, along with Clackamas County’s fire department and sheriff’s office. campus safety also supports relationships with Oregon City, West Linn, Milwaukie, and Gladstone’s first responders so if that they are called to the campus, all are well aware of the campus and its layout. Campus safety has taken extensive measures in CCC’s safety, not only at Oregon City’s campus, but its satellite campuses as well. Isham’s team is working to put together a staff and student emergency response guide for various situations, covering everything from man-made to natural

disasters. They are currently working on building emergency response teams, which will be trained and given equipment in case of emergency. Student Annie Sharpe comments on Campus Safety’s current presence. Sharpe said, “I’ve seen them [campus safety] around. I guess I’ve never felt terribly fearful although it might be nice to see a little more security around here once in awhile.” This seems to be a theme when asking students around CCC, who seem to be unaware of all the issues that campus safety handles. Just
because you can’t see them, doesn’t mean they aren’t there. However, with all the forward movements made by campus safety, hopefully this trend will change. Campus safety has stepped up to the plate and are making progress. For example, they were active at CCC’s fall community fair on Oct 9 and are continuing their activism with a two hour seminar on Oct 24, 2013. The seminar’s purpose is to build CCC’s Building Evacuation Response Team and will be held in the McLoughlin Auditorium at noon.

Health questions for any student Real Health Jesse Henninger Arts & Culture Editor
Are you healthy? I am asking this because I want to know how you define ‘health’ and whether or not you truly represent that definition. When I’m surfing online news, social media, or even watching television, the most common thing I notice about ‘health’ is: overrated fad diets, the newest ways to get exercise and the topic on every American’s mind: socialized healthcare. I am going to ask you a series of questions, in varying levels of difficulty. By answering my questions, you will begin to understand that there is an alternative to all the media-driven popular ‘health culture,’ a sensationalized industry that only utilizes a thin slice of the many varied sciences that fully embrace all aspects of what makes a person healthy. You will see why health has become so crucial to the betterment of our lives, how changing our own health perspective will change the world and the ways we can achieve real health within ourselves. Here come the questions: Do you eat all the right foods? Get 20 minutes of vigorous exercise daily? Are you a P90X, yoga or Zumba person? Do you juice cleanse or attend spin classes? Are you a Nike Fuelband-sporting, outdoors-loving, 5k-running type? Exercise and eating right have essential benefits, but there is a lot more to being healthy. Ask yourself these questions: How big is your carbon footprint? Have you volunteered in your community lately? Drive your own car or use mass transit? Buy pricey organic foods or locally grown produce? Our roles in our environment are just as important to a healthy lifestyle.
Fierce Fall Fashion With summer long gone and winter on its way, we have no choice but to unearth our inner hipster, harvest fashionistas. Check out these collegiates working the CCC campus runway wearing the latest in crop-season chic.
Consider this: How many hours are you online or playing video games? Do you always ‘text’ or do you have real, verbal conversations with the people in your life? Do you enjoy using your laptop or smartphone while watching television? Now that’s entertainment: the ability to send a selfie to the TV show host in real time. Our activities are big contributors to the choices we make about our health. Now let’s dig a little deeper. What about sex? (Are you satisfied?) Do you enjoy things that might seem strange to others? Do you keep them hidden from the rest of the world? Need to get tested for STDs? Too scared to get checked? Can’t get him to use condoms or get her to consider birth-control? Becoming a parent before you ever thought you would and you have no clue where to begin? Talking about sex and the included responsibilities is a topic we all can relate to. What about long-term illness? Know anyone with asthma, psoriasis or maybe Crohn’s disease? Know anyone who: Has survived cancer? Organ transplant/donation? Smoking-related illnesses? HIV/AIDS? Family members with mental illness or disability? Have you witnessed someone struggling to stay alive? Lost a loved one too soon? How do you handle it: When someone dies? Ever felt completely alone in a room full of people? Discovered your lover is cheating on you? Times when we have so much emotion built up inside but cannot find the courage to tell someone about our feelings. Moments when we think life itself may not be worth living? Do you try to escape? Drown yourself in alcohol whenever possible? Want to quit taking those prescription pills but don’t how to make it through the day without them? Addiction affects many people in all walks of life. There are healthy alternatives to addictive behaviors.
Are you in love? Was it the wedding of your dreams? Is your relationship healthy? How many times are we going to keep letting ourselves get hurt? Is your partner abusive? Have you ever thought that you may not want to be married anymore? Questioning your self-worth? Living up to the expectations of our parents and peers can be exhausting. What makes us truly happy and is it healthy? Through the next eight weeks, we will explore real health and ways to improve our lives by making healthy choices, covering one or two areas per week. Information about our daily activities, family life, relationships, social lives, religious culture and even our ecosystem, in an effort to reach a customized level of “healthy.” Discussing physical and mental illness, addiction, medication, family planning and a really long, thick column about sex. We will learn to make informed choices for a higher standard. We have the amazing ability to personalize our health; tailor it precisely to our needs. This all-encompassing journey will venture through the heart, mind and body with expert opinions, well-researched topics and my own two cents, of course. Real health, for everyone.

What about religion? Are your spiritual needs being met? Have you discovered that maybe your beliefs are not the same as those of your parents, friends or co-workers? Your church doesn’t accept who you are and you want to explore new options? Spirituality is integral to a healthy life.

D’AGOSTINO: Lights a spark in students’ eyes with new showcase Continued from Page 1
“
We used to have to hide under our desks like that, like they show in the film and it was terrifying.”
Photos by Scott Kalanikai The Clackamas Print
One area of D’Agostino’s focus is propaganda in the 50s. She remembers Bert the Turtle, who was a tool that the government used to teach children how to duck and cover in case of the atomic bomb. “We used to have to hide under our desks like that, like they show in the film and it was terrifying,” D’Agostino said. “And they had that cute little turtle telling us what to do and I think the turtle was supposed to be reassuring somehow to kids but somehow we knew that this was totally terrifying. And the turtle didn’t help, it just made us feel like everyone was lying to us.” The collage shows videos of the atomic bomb going off, kids hiding under school desks and ends with drawings by teenagers who survived the World War II bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. During the artist reception students piled into the Alexander Gallery to hear what D’Agostino had to say about her work, and she answered student questions. Kate Simmons, gallery director for the Alexander Gallery, said, “I welcome you to explore these five experimental videos and as well go over to Marylhurst’s Art Gym to see her (D’Agostino’s) retrospective. It’s a collection of her work.”
Part time student Rebekah Kamierowicz said, “so far I think it’s pretty cool. It makes your mind think.” D’Agostino said, “I hope people go out and see that [show at Marylhurst]. The show at Marylhurst is a combination of a retrospective of new work and there is a lot more. There are sculptures and architecture and all kinds of stuff.”
Fernanda D’Agostino Artist
“On Screen: Fernanda D’Agostino: Single Channel Videos 2007-2013” by D’Agostino will be showing in the Alexander Gallery through Dec. 12. The gallery is opened 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Snazzy makeovers for boring food Ramen Made Edible:
Foolproof Grilled Cheese Sandwiches:
● ●
●
●
● ● ●
Prepare as directed on packaging. After boiling the noodles and adding the flavor packet, remove the noodles (saving the broth) and pan fry the noodles in a little bit of cooking oil (about 1 tsp). Save the broth, boiling and cooking it down (reducing) until it is a little thicker — this may take a while. It’s okay if the broth does not thicken — use it anyway and move on to the next step. While you wait; hunt for and add any variety of vegetable. One suggestion from a colleague: try adding “Pork Formosa” otherwise known as dried pork shreds, available at most Asian food stores. Also try tofu strips, sliced hard boiled eggs, crumbled bacon. Use your imagination.
Perfected Macaroni & Cheese (from a box): ● ● ● ●
Any boxed macaroni & cheese brand can be used. Kraft is the brand used in this recipe. Cook the mac & cheese as directed, paying extra close attention to not overcook the pasta. Instead of milk, try an equal measurement of sour cream. Sweet cream butter (the real stuff) is recommended over margarine. Always eat Perfected Mac & Cheese and its variations immediately after preparation — leftovers are just nasty.
● ● ●
Use different types of cheeses and different types of breads. DON’T grill your sandwich on HIGH heat, always grill your sandwiches on MEDIUM heat. Try coating the outside of the sandwich with sweet cream butter. Add tomato, avocado, onion, bacon and anything else you normally enjoy on your sandwiches.
Other variations include: ● ○ ○ ○ ○ ● ○ ○ ○ ● ○
Chili Mac: One can of your favorite chili. Heat chili while you cook noodles. Mix cheese powder into chili before stirring into the pasta. No need for butter and milk. Tuna Casserole Mac: Make as directed. Add can of tuna. Half package frozen (or can) of peas, heated to desired temperature. Meat-Lover’s Mac: Slice up hot dogs, Spam or any of your favorite pre-packaged meats to add to your Perfected Mac & Cheese.

SOCCER: Cougars experience heated stalemate Continued from Page 1
Early in the second half Lane took a wide shot that missed its mark. On the latter of two consecutive corner kicks, Clackamas’ No. 23 kicker, Tani Harr, had a nice shot on goal that was denied by Schoene. As tension rose with the back and forth battle, the Cougars attempted a goal, but were forced back to defense. Lane fouled on their attempt at goal, receiving a yellow card. The following free kick by Clackamas sent the action back up field.
“
Even though it was a tie, we felt like it was a win in our hearts.” Claudia Flores Freshman Forward
“We played hard,” said No. 9 Stephanie Corea. “[It was the] first team we actually had competition against.” At 63 minutes on the scoreboard, the sun suddenly emerged and Corea took a good shot at Lane’s goal. The Cougars were awarded a couple of free kicks towards the latter half of the game. On the second kick, No. 2 sophomore Hope Butler lobbed a shot towards goal from center, which sailed over Lane’s defense. It just barely missed, going
slightly too high and over the goal. Lane attacked and attempted a long goal but missed. Flores had a nice shot at about 78 minutes that was saved by Schoene. Lane No. 20 Maddi Barton kept the Cougars on their toes with two back-to-back long shots from center. One barely cleared over the goal at 90 minutes on the scoreboard. As the referee signaled the end of the match, the score remained 0-0. Lane took two shots and had seven saves in the second half. The Cougars struck eight shots and no saves were needed. “Even though it was a tie, we felt like it was a win in our hearts,” said Flores. “We want to win playoffs. We’re going all the way.” Throughout the game, two yellow cards were issued to each team. The Cougars forced Lane goal keeper Schoene to make 11 saves total, showing their struggle scoring was not due to lack of effort on offense. Cougar goalkeeper Trumbull collected three saves of her own, for her eighth shutout of the season. The team is off to a great start towards a successful run at the playoffs. “We’re excited to win NWAACC,” said No. 12 Mecca Williams. Friday’s match put the Cougars’ record at 8-1-1, they remain the top team in South region and second in NWAACC league. It provided both women’s soccer teams with their first tie of the season and broke the Cougars’ six-game winning streak. It was the first non-winning game at home this year. Their next game will be Friday, Oct. 16, 2013 at 1 p.m. at the OCHS Pioneer Stadium against Southwestern Oregon Community College Lakers.

CCC volleyball team digs deep David Beasley Sports Editor Wednesday vs. New Hope

The stars seemed to align over Randall gymnasium last Wednesday evening, when CCC’s volleyball team defeated the New Hope Christian College Beacons in a non-league match. The Cougars came out strong from the start. Early in the first set, No. 11 Kiki Stonebraker, drove down a powerful spike to put the team at a 3-0 lead. Stonebraker is one of only two sophomores out of the 12 team members. “I’m the only returner, it’s brought a completely new chemistry and it’s refreshing,” said Stonebraker. The game was fast paced and the Cougars commanded the lead. No. 14 Courtney Lofton scored with a nice spike and brought the score to 8-6. With another highlight, No. 3 Megan Minke launched a well-placed spike earning 12-8 over the Beacons. The Cougars won the first set 25-13.

good judgment letting the ball go out. The Cougars dominated 25-10 in the second set. “I feel like we improve every day. Practices are intense, it’s really important for a championship NWAACC team. We have a solid group of girls who work really well together,” said No. 2 Taylor Balkan. Set three started more even and the Beacons stepped it up. But the Cougars picked up more steam and grasped the lead. It was a very close set. A hard-won Cougar spike after a long volley brought the score to 11-9.
The match became more competitive in the third and the Cougars took their first three time-outs. The score read 19-16 at the last TO. The Beacons fought hard but the Cougars finished 25-19 in set three and won the match. “It was fun, we’re really thrilled with the season so far,” said head coach Kathie Woods. The Chemeketa Tournament in August was a rude awakening for the Cougar volleyball team as they endured a 1-4 in the competition. The team has been very active since their first games. They have had ample time to figure out how
to fight as a team. “We had a slow start but now we are 21-7, 3-1 in league,” said Woods. The Cougars squad gained momentum in their second tournament of the season, taking home four wins to one loss at the Spokane Falls Tournament. They went on to remain undefeated throughout September. “For me, the highlight of the season was the Spokane tournament,” said Balkan. “We learned to play together; it was a fun learning experience for everyone.” The Cougars’ only loss since the Spokane Falls Tournament came Oct. 2 against Linn-Benton. Wednesday night’s win gave Clackamas confidence for their next game, a league match against top regional rival Mount Hood Community College. “It’s really awesome; we’re on fire this year,” said Stonebraker. “We had a 15 game winning streak until Linn-Benton, but we’re back on track and ready for Hood on Friday. It’s gonna be a good game.” Friday vs. Mt. Hood In association with cancer awareness month, Friday marked the annual Diggin’ Pink event. The fund raiser and proceeds from the game benefited pets with cancer, diabetes and other illnesses. “Diggin’ Pink is huge for us,” said Woods. “We raised $2,300 last year. We’re over $1,000 as of today [Oct. 11] and we are raising money all of October. Go to the athletic office to donate.” Friday night was for fighting as the Cougars and Hood battled it out for regional supremacy. It was a rose-tinted evening as both teams sported pink jerseys in honor of cancer awareness. The Cougars even had pink shoelaces and spotted animal-print shorts. “We call them Cougar shorts; they went well with the theme of tonight,” said No. 10 Hanna Olson. While the Cougars were behind for much of the game, they had some nice plays and remained
competitive. The Randall bleachers were full, the crowd was big. The team played well together often. One of the individual successes was Olson’s great block towards the end of set one, putting 16-20 on the scoreboard. The Cougars suffered a hardfought loss as set one ended in a close 21-25. They came back stronger in the second set. They gave Hood a run for their money, but even with the loud cheers and support from the Clackamas fans, Hood was able to steal the win for set two. The Cougars looked like they had a chance to win it after a great serve by Stonebraker, making it 22-24. They had great momentum, getting closer at 23-24, but were edged out 23-25. After the second set of the Diggin’ Pink match, 2012 CCC volleyball alumna Annie Cook read a tribute in memory of coach Woods’ beloved pet dog Cougie and told the crowd about the fundraiser for animal cancer support and cancer awareness. The Cougars were down but not out; they still had desire to win. The third set was by far the most exciting and intense. “It’s a big match for us, so we had to give it our all,” said Olson. And they did. They managed to slide ahead on the scoreboard taking a 7-6 lead. There was a back and forth battle, with Hood getting the better of an epically long volley for 7-8. The Cougars later gained an 11-9 lead. “I thought we played well, but inconsistent, we fought hard,” said No. 13 Bre Gibbons. The fighting continued as Hood came back with a vicious five point lead in the remainder of set three. The game ended in a clear win for Hood at 19-25 of the third. The Cougars are now 3-2 in NWAACC league, but also an impressive 21-8 season total. There is much to come from the championship-minded CCC team and the next home game is a league match against Chemeketa. The Cougars defeated Chemeketa before their match against New Hope and look to repeat that performance.

The baseball team was proud to have some star players shine last month at Lower Columbia in Longview, Wash. “Seven of our guys were selected for the sophomore showcase All-Star game for NWAACC,” said Robin Robinson, head baseball coach. “Four of them have been heavily recruited since.” The Cougar baseball team will play seven weeks of fall ball.
