“Today ... ha! People are out of touch with their feel-ings because they refuse to stand up for them. Poet-ry can’t be a form of refuge until it knows the origins it escaped from. Poetry will never die. It’s in our nature to bring us back to ourselves. One must first identify the discovery of their true self within their feelings, though.”

Editorial | Death with Dignity Act: A lawful right we should respect Do we have the right to determine our

own death? In Oregon we do, under certain criteria. The Death with Dignity Act, passed by voters in 1997, allows mentally competent adults who are facing a terminal health situation to make that decision. They must acquire their doctor’s permission and they must establish Oregon residency, which takes months. It is not that people can just de-cide to randomly kill themselves when they feel depressed. There must be something life-threatening that would make death a hu-mane choice, should they make it.

Even though it is perfectly legal, it isn’t moral to some. Life is precious, every moment is precious, to those who do not stand in sup-port of this act. At our editors’ meeting table, the Advocate discussed the death of Brittany Maynard, the young woman who moved to Oregon to end her life last month before the non-operable tumor in her head would even-tually do so. Some on the Advocate puzzled at this conundrum, not sure how we felt about it. Killing yourself in general is not okay, and we don’t like the idea of it. However, some of us believe Maynard’s act was heroic and that she, herself, has become an advocate for those who think it too controversial to make their death requests known, much like coming out of the closet. At one point it was mentioned that social media has contributed to many revolutions in our evolving society. Social media is what carried Maynard’s perplexing predicament from the computer screen to American’s dining tables.

Whether we, as individuals, think the Death with Dignity Act is right or wrong isn’t important. Everyone you talk to is go-ing to have a different view. What stands out among the clutter of such a morally infused topic, is our mutual agreement that, whether

we liked the idea of assisted suicide or not, we don’t have the right to make those choices for the people who seek out that option. If it already is legal, we can’t condemn those who have done something in accordance with the law.

Don’t get us wrong. We can believe the act to be a sin, wrong or such, but in the end, our personal opinion doesn’t matter. Ironic thing to say in an editorial, isn’t it?

The rights of people are to be upheld. The right to make our own choices is to be upheld; this is what The Advocate believes. This idea does not just end with the Death with Dignity Act, but can also be applied to social scenarios such as abortion, gay mar-riage, marijuana – anything that we as a so-ciety believe needs to be reformed, outside of non-negotiable moral principles such as child pornography, slavery, rape, murder, et al.

Keep in mind, we at The Advocate do

not all think the same. Some of us adamant-ly oppose some of the actions being taken un-der the assisted suicide law. What that means is those who oppose have every right to stand outside of Hobby Lobby, Planned Parent-hood, or whatever institution, and display opposition. Freedom in America goes both ways: the freedom to do, and the freedom to not do.

The majority of The Advocate editorial board believes that when we come to the re-alization that everyone has different views and that it is impossible for everyone to think the same, then it is easier to not wage cultural war. We can have our debates, but not get hurt about everything. There are a lot of angry people mad at the choices other people make. On the Internet, people spew hurtful comments towards Brittany May-nard and Robin Williams because they have their opinions but they do not fully under-stand the situation that particular individu-als may be in. The reality is, we can’t.

Do you think

poetry is still

very much alive

and relevant

today?

Correction: Regarding the article “Vietnam Vets express their art in the Visual Arts Gallery” on Page 7 of The Advocate on Nov. 7, several errors were made. Duane Reed did not travel around the world as a professional photographer; he has never been a community college “board chairman”; and his art was not inspired by, nor represents flashbacks of, the war in Vietnam. The Advocate regrets these errors.

The American Midwest, though flat and mostly barren of creatures, has been a source of inspiration to an award-winning poet, MHCC’s own dean of humanities, Sara Ri-vara.

Rivara recently won first place in the 2014 edition of Midwest Gothic, a poetry contest based in Ann Arbor, Mich. She least expect-ed her poem “Animal Bride” to win, she said. She considered it to be a filler poem, and an experiment. But she also said it was a good thing for the judges to appreciate her new way of writing, because it shapes a new path for her, poetically.

Rivara, a lover of the outdoors, creates beautiful, precise images of nature in “Lake Effect,” her first published book of poetry.

“I remember I had a poetry teacher in graduate school and I must have said some-thing like ‘the field was green,’ and she said, ‘I don’t care about the field, tell me the name of the flower. Tell me the name of that kind of grass that grows in the field,’ ” Rivara recalled.

She also said she believes the perception of poetry being a “high-falutin’, formal art” where there is a certain standard language, is completely wrong.

“I feel like all language is fair game for poems,” she said. Instead, she embraces the weird, beautiful way all things communicate and transpire.

Rivara grew up in the north-shore suburb of Deerfield, Ill., outside of Chicago, where she found the people to be just regular folks who drove trucks. While her Catholic roots were burrowed deep, much of her pain also was wrought in the Midwest, she noted.

The woman would soon change her stars, however.

Rivara said she left the church in the eighth grade, not long after she was con-firmed into her Catholic faith.

“I wanted to be a priest and they told me I couldn’t be” – because she was a woman, she said.

She wrote her first poem in high school, but her first desire was to be a novelist or a play-write. Yet that road was also left untrav-eled, since her first fiction director turned out to be a complete “jerk.”

Despite the seeming limitations, Rivara would find her niche in her writing and in her vocation. She found her poetry class to be a better fit for her, and she has written poetry nonstop since she turned 18.

Rivara also found a love for teaching at Kalamazoo College in Michigan.

While attending Kalamazoo College, Ri-vara looked up to the unconventional works of her fellow alum, and her artistic muse, Di-ane Seuss. She was also inspired by the surre-alism of Brigit Pegeen Kelly and the activism of Eleanor Wilner, one of her grad school instructors.

Though Rivara was an English professor

and a part-time opera singer, no one could see from the outside the horror she was liv-ing within.

“I thought being a feminist was going to keep me safe,” she said, while watching oth-er women in her class being abused by their boyfriends. “I was always in utter denial of my own situation,” she said.

Rivara married her first husband in 2002 and spent 10 years in an abusive relationship. She had to cover up the physical toll the abuse took.

“I couldn’t have worn a skirt to work, and my hair was always long,” she said. Her hus-band’s favorite thing to call her was “a frigid whore,” she said, “which I think is an awe-some super power, because how would you be both?”

Rivara thought she was crazy. No one else seemed to find anything wrong with a cooking and cleaning husband, however.

She got the wake-up call when her son was born in 2005.

“I remember holding him in the hospital and asking myself if I would be okay if his life was my life, and it was the first time I real-ized: ‘No way! This thing that I’m living in is totally wrong,’ ” she said.

Rivara’s husband was convinced that all her poetry consisted of defaming him, and he would later try to convince her not to publish her poems, based on her experiences.

Writing would comfort Rivara in the loneliest of times - during that summer she

was away from her husband and son. “The summer I got divorced (2007) was

the first summer I didn’t have my son with me. I had all this time and I just decided I’m just going to write the truth and if it gets me in trouble, so be it,” she said.

Rivara hopes to set a strong example for her son, to tell the truth even when it doesn’t look like the truth to everyone around.

Her boldness continued. In 2012, she would meet her current husband, who lived in Portland, at a writing conference in Mas-sachusetts.

Once again, there were limitations, but she would decisively respond. “We decid-ed that I was going to take the leap I always wanted to make, and we went to court,” Ri-vara explained. The state of Michigan did not allow the couple to leave together unless they were married, so on Oct. 23, 2013, the court approved after they eloped.

The latter developments are what led Ri-vara to Portland, and to Mount Hood. The job was available, and she felt like she could make difference doing dean work at MHCC, she said.

“I didn’t think I was going to be an ad-ministrator… I love teaching students, but I love community colleges to death,” she said. “I would never want to be anywhere else than a community college.”

As David Haffner slowly walked toward his Corbett home’s garage, the 6-foot-2-inch redhead had a cigarette in one hand and a joint in the other.

According to Haffner, that’s quite typical, though he admits that he takes breaks so he doesn’t get paranoid with feeling too co-de-pendent on the soon-to-be legal drug.

“That was a trip, bro… Did you hear that? That was nuts,” the talented musician and for-mer MHCC student said while listening to his own music.

Haffner, 27, and an Oregonian through-and-through, is also known by many as “Three Moves Checkmate,” the name of the project he created about two years ago, though he started

playing the guitar at age 12.What many might not know is beyond

skin-deep. Haffner discovered that he suffered and struggled daily with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia when he was 18. And that’s when he found solace in his music, along with producing rap beats on the side.

“Although I was officially diagnosed when I was 18, I knew around the time I was 16,” Haffner recalled. “And those were some of the darkest times of my life, not being medicated. It was hell on earth.”

These days, Haffner is, in fact, medicated and usually feels “okay, man,” he said.

Haffner primarily plays the guitar, but also plays the bass, drums, piano and saxophone.

“Basically anything stringed,” he said. “Within 10 minutes I could make a song from scratch with a harp. That’s all the time I need. I

don’t mean to sound like I have an ego. But all artists love what they do.”

Haffner suffers tendinitis in both knees, due to skateboard-related injuries in his high school days. The pain never went away after so many injuries, so in August, he received his medical marijuana card and has been smoking religiously off and on since then. “Mainly on,” he said.

He said smoking makes anything and ev-erything more creative, though he finds a bal-ance with being sober, too.

“I just love the freedom of smoking and writing music,” Haffner said – a virtual testi-monial for marijuana’s virtues.

“I know I can get real hyped about a song and create it in five hours. The creative juices are unbelievable when I’m high. I learned over the summer that I can use (weed) as a tool to

focus. It truly heightens all of my emotions... whether high, or low.”

Haffner takes a break in between joints to write music in his studio, with his back turned towards me.

“It’s my escape,” he told me. “I’m kind of high right now.”

Haffner said it’s borderline impossible to avoid ego in this industry, though he knows he’s just scratching at the surface and is waiting for his big break.

He certainly isn’t a big fan of this new-age “gangsta rap.”

“I mainly listen to instrumental,” he said. “The big ego gangsta rappers are bullshit and use a bunch of wasteful words. But they have their place, and obviously people can relate to their music. I sure as hell can’t. Sometimes this bad rap brings out my bipolar issues.”

MHCC musician medicates with more marijuana

Foo Fighters album is rock and rollJake Swindellthe advocate

Rock ’n roll: It’s more than a genre of music, it’s a culture that American music has used to define our back-ground throughout recent history.

American rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and Nirva-na hold up the culture through their blood-chilling screams and nasty gui-tar lines that make us ask for more. Putting out our mind, time and money to a group of blue-collared individuals that we trust makes us feel better about ourselves.

Last Monday, American rock leg-ends, Foo Fighters, released their eighth album, titled, “Sonic Highways.”

The record comes with eight tracks, including a single titled, “Some-thing from nothing.” Roswell Records released the Foo Fighters’ album under RCA Records, a label that has signed artists such as Three Days Grace, Bul-let For My Valentine and even the La-dykillers and Walk the Moon.

Co-released with the album, is the HBO television series of the same name, “Sonic Highways,” that consists of following the Foo Fighters around the studio to show the fans how the magic is made. Each track on the al-bum was recorded in a different studio. To make each song even more unique, each studio was in a different city, in-cluding Los Angeles, Austin, Chicago, Nashville, New Orleans, New York, Washington D.C. and even Seattle –

but sadly, not Portland.The sound of the album defines

itself within the first track. You start to feel the groove, and every time that kick hits the bass drum you feel it throughout your limbs - that rhythm that Foo Fighters always wants to make you to go crazy, too. The album shows off good production. The guitar tone is dead on, and the bass is more driven throughout the record com-pared to previous releases Foo Fighters had such as “ One by One,” or “Wasting Light.”

In an August 2013 interview, front man Dave Grohl said the group has “been in our studio writing and in the past few weeks we’ve written an al-bum. We are going to make this album in a way that no one’s ever done before and we’re pretty excited about it.

“It’s a little ways off, but I think next year is going to be a really big year for the Foo Fighters, without question,” Grohl said.

A bold statement, yes, but one backed up with seven successful re-cords and worldwide tours. Grohl’s vision for the album was by far the biggest influence in every track. Lay-ering guitars over leads allows you to set your head back and say, “Yeah, I can get stuff done to this.” More impor-tantly, the record disguises itself so you never know what’s coming next.

The Foo Fighters are currently in South Africa on their album release tour. They plan to make their return to the States on July 4, 2015. web photo

Robert Downey Jr. and Robert Duval each deliver great performances, making “The Judge” a must-see film.

Hank Palmer, played by Downey Jr., is a successful lawyer who returns home to attend his mother’s funeral. When he gets to his small home town, he spends time with all of his fam-ily members except for one: his father, Joseph, played by Duval. Joseph Palmer is a judge and is well- known throughout the town.

Joseph and Hank have been on the outs for quite some time, due to an incident involving Hank’s brother when they were teenagers. When Hank is about to leave, he learns that his father is being arrested for murder. Hank then reluctantly stays to help defend him in the upcoming trial. With their relationship greatly strained and the trial getting heated, this culminates into the perfect storm as they not only try to mend their relationship but

also get Joseph’s life and career back.The movie’s script is well-written and pro-

vided not only a sense of realism, but also con-nects with the audience in ways that many can relate to. The story seems simple, yet, as it pro-gresses not only leaves you wondering what will happen next, but also helps you feel what the characters themselves are feeling. How Hank somewhat followed in his father’s foot-steps, and why he did so, is also very well done.

David Dobkin directed the film. His previ-ous work includes “Wedding Crashers,” “Mr. Woodcock,” and “Shanghai Knights.” Consid-ering his previous credits being mostly com-edies, you might think doing a drama of this caliber might not be the wisest of decisions, but he proves that wrong by succeeding and leav-ing us with an instant classic.

The cinematography is excellent. There are many times it helps tell a story without a word. In the beginning, the father and son get out of the car and walk away in opposite di-rections. There is a storm in the middle of the

movie with the son chasing his father, which not only represents their turbulent relation-ship, but also the climax of the trial. It is nice to see a movie use these subtle nuances, and show them in a way that you could use as an example of good cinematography to students aspiring to be filmmakers.

The acting is superb. The chemistry be-tween Downey Jr. and Duval is downright awesome, and I hope for an Oscar nod for the both of them. Their performance of the intense relationship between father and son shows why these two actors are in the same league as all the greats. The supporting cast of characters is also good, with Vincent D’Onof-rio as the older brother and Billy Bob Thorton as the prosecutor.

Altogether, I give this movie five stars and can say it’s the best movie I’ve seen this year. Expect a Best Picture nomination or, sat the very least, a Best Actor nomination for Downey Jr. and Best Supporting Actor nomi-nation for Duval.

For the last 40 years, MHCC’s “Something Wonderful Project” has given back to East County families in need. This year, the students, staff, and volunteers involved are helping to carry on the tradition.

This organization reaches out to families in the area with students who attend Mt. Hood. The main inspiration for Something Wonderful came from the teaching staff, who recognized those students who were struggling financially. The need for basic necessities such as household goods, winter clothes, children’s toys, and food often becomes quite an obstacle to overcome. With prices rising around the holiday season, it is difficult to make it through the winter on little-to-no income.

Eager to help make the best for the holidays, Mt. Hood employees Rich Duval and Katrinia McNeal teamed up to coordinate the project this year.

“Our goal is to help 50 families… to match as many families with sponsors” as possible,” said Duval, manager of MHCC’s Project YESS youth workforce program. The organizers will know after Thanksgiving if they have met

their goal, he said.The Something Wonderful Project is

not the average Christmas drive. It focuses specifically on the Mt. Hood community, those people involved in programs such as Head Start, ABE/GED, and Project YESS.

The group encourages as many people as possible to get involved. Duval and McNeal, who is administrative assistant for MHCC’s Business & Computer Information Systems, are still looking for individuals, clubs, school departments, and even outside organizations to help “adopt” families.

Duval said, “The more sponsors we get, the more families we can help.” Giving to those most in need not only helps to lessen the burden on the sponsors during the holidays, but is also “helps these families and their children feel the spirit of giving and will hopefully brighten their holidays, when this tends to be a very stressful time in people’s lives,” he said.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, contact McNeal at (503) 491-7515.

The Reader’s Cup – the small café in the MHCC Library, next to the exit doors – might be ready for operation in early December, according to Megan Dugan, Library manager.

Mt. Hood switched food service providers last summer because Chartwells did not submit a bid to continue its business with the college.

Lancer Hospitality, Mt. Hood’s new service provider, took over this fall. Lancer runs the Vista Dining Center and St. Helens Bistro, and will be running the Reader’s Cup, as well.

Now, following a long wait, the Reader’s Cup is finally undergoing renovation.

“They wanted to make some changes to the infrastructure in the space,” said Dugan. “There wasn’t running water, or a sink, and then they have new equipment that requires different electrical capabilities than what was in there before.”

She said Chartwells hauled their water up to the Library in a container, and all wastewater went to a “slop bucket” that was carried out. “It really wasn’t a functional food service area, and that was one of the reasons Lancer (has) to meet the code.”

Currently, the Reader’s Cup just needs to pass building inspection regulations, and then it will be ready for drywall and paint, before cabinets and the sink will be installed.

Reader’s Cup remodeled, will open in December

Georgia wins title, propels Saints to fourth place

Brandon Raleighthe advocate

Heading into Wednesday’s game against Chemeketa CC, Saints volleyball had the power to control their destiny. A win over Chemeketa and they’d punch a ticket to the NWAC play-offs later next week. A loss to Chemeketa and a SW Oregon victory over winless Umpqua CC would mean the Saints would have to take part in a play-in game this Saturday.

Entering the final game of the season, Saints coach Andrew Clifton was excited for the match against the (6-3, 22-14 overall) Chemeketa Storm. “I look forward to watch-ing the team continue their good play tonight.”

(Referring to a prior hard fought match against Clackamas CC last week.)

Unfortunately, the match didn’t end as the Saints or Clifton would have liked. The Saints suffered a four-set loss to Chemeketa (24-26, 25-15,25-17,25-18).

“We lost in four. Won the first, Chemeketa made a run in the second and we struggled to get traction the rest of the match. Tough loss.” Coach Clifton on the loss to Chemeketa.

To make matters worse, SW Oregon de-feated Umpqua in three sets forcing a play in game.

The play in game will take place this Satur-day at (12 p.m.) at the Mt. Hood Gymnasium. The winner advances to the NWAC champi-

onship.The match is a “do or die” for the Saints.

All the hard work they have put into the sea-son comes down to Saturdays match. Can they become this year’s Cinderella? Time will tell.

The Saints cross country team finished off its season at the NWAC Championships, held in Lewisville Park near Battle Ground, Wash., last Saturday, with a few high notes.

The day started off with a dramatic men’s race. Lane Community College sophomore Jonathan Cornish took control of the race late – making a strong move with a mile to go – leaving everybody in his trail but Spokane’s defending champion, Daniel Schofield. The two ran neck-and-neck down the final stretch before Schofield out-leaned Cornish to nar-rowly keep his crown, both runners clocking a time of 25:19 for the 8K.

Brandon Raleigh was the top finisher for the Mt. Hood men’s team, placing 13th at 26:09, while freshman Jonathan Zacarius got 32th place with a time of 27:09.

Sophomore Cody Beierle, and freshmen Santos Damien and Dean Nizer rounded out the Saints’ top five finishers.

The men’s team finished in seventh, de-spite not having freshman Michael Francy able to run. Spokane took the team title, scor-ing 32 points.

On the women’s side, the much-anticipat-ed race between two outstanding freshman runners did not disappoint.

Even so, running in a pack with a mile to go, Mt. Hood’s Georgia Glovatsky pulled into the lead and never looked back – as was her

habit all season long. She won with a time of 18:11 over Spokane’s Becca Mildes, who fin-ished at 18:20.

Mt. Hood’s Emily Trosino also finished with top-10 honors, finishing in ninth place with a 18:44 time. Freshman runner Leah Norquist and sophomores Haley McDonald and Kat Lucero completed the top five for the Saints.

The Saints’ women’s team finished fourth overall with 116 points, while Spokane took the title with 36 points.

Beyond the outdoor circuit, Mt. Hood also posted a strong showing in the classroom, with sophomore runners Courtney Andre, Beierle, Trosino and Raleigh each earning NWAC All-Academic honors this week.
