Clackamas Community College, Oregon City, OR An independent, student-run newspaper since 1966

Volume 47, Issue 6

No, vampires are not attacking campus, but there are people want-ing your precious blood lurking behind the walls of Gregory Forum.

The American Red Cross and Clackamas Community College Associated Student Government are working together this week to host the quarterly blood drive, and they’re encouraging all students, instructors, staffers and community members to participate.

For every person who donates blood, three people are helped.

If you are one of the many peo-ple who cannot stand the thought of needles, rest assured that there is someone who is willing to sit with you and calm your nerves.

He goes by Dean Wright, an officer of ASG’s public affairs divi-sion.

“I am not going to sugar coat it,” Wright said. “It hurts in the begin-ning. I will personally stand by you and talk to you and be best friends.”

Ali Miller, a CCC nursing stu-

dent, has always wanted to donate blood, she said. But she has never been able to meet the weight requirement of 110 pounds for women.

“There are so many medical instances where people would need blood transfusions,” Miller said. “It is a matter of life and death.”

The blood drive will take place in the Gregory Forum from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday. Although the ASG office is taking appointments for those wanting to donate, walk-ins are welcomed too.

ASG will be offering students snacks while donors rest. The Red Cross will also be offering free T-shirts to all who donate.

The commitment is small and the pay off is enormous: potentially saving three lives.

Daphne Mattew, director of communication for the Red Cross, said blood supplies will go to local hospitals first than to where ever the demand is needed.

“Almost always people tell me,” said Mattew. “If I would have known it was that easy I would have started a long time ago.”

Following up one of their worst losses at home this sea-son against Chemeketa, the Clackamas Cougars men’s bas-ketball team may finally start to be hitting their stride. They won three in a row, beating Umpqua Community College and Mt. Hood Community College on the road before taking down Linn-Benton at home, 74-60 on Jan. 25.

“I feel like we’re starting to come together,” said Tim Lott, sophomore wing. “We’re a young team, we just have to persevere through the losses and learn from our mistakes.”

Playing Linn-Benton the coaches hoped to turn the game into a slow tempo, grinder-style game and for the most part it was. Linn-Benton was held to 23 points in the first half. With Linn-Benton struggling to score against the zone towards the end of the first half, the Cougars came out in the second half running the same defense.

Linn-Benton was unable to score for the first five min-

utes of the second half, and the Cougars were able to put together a 17-2 scoring run to give themselves a comfortable lead for most of the second half. Still though, the coaches felt there was room for improve-ment.

“Nineteen turnovers, that’s a pretty ugly stat there, but we did have 21 assists so we’re trying to do the right thing, sharing the ball,” said Coach Clif Wegner. “A lot of times it was the right idea. It was just a terrible pass.”

In the second half, when Linn-Benton made a push to cut the lead, the Cougars were able to use a series of hustle plays, led by Grant Sitton and Lott. Sitton finished the game with 21 points and six rebounds, making nine of his 13 shots, including three big three-point shots to help extend their lead back to a comfortable margin.

“It felt good to hit shots,” said Sitton. “I like the home games better than the away games. I know the hoops bet-ter.”

Helping Sitton on one of his three-point shots was Lott. On a loose ball rolling down the baseline, Lott was able to come

from the opposite free throw line and chase the ball down before it rolled out of bounds, flipped it over to Sitton, who was anxiously waiting to knock down his third three pointer of the second half.

“That was a great hustle play,” Wegner said.

This Cougar team had their share of struggles earlier in the season but there are signs that this team has begun to gel.

“We have a lot of fresh-man, and freshman got to make mistakes to learn and become sophomores, the little things take time,” Lott said after the game. “We’re learning from our losses.”

With their three-game win-ning streak the Cougars are in a good spot as their march towards the playoffs continues. The Cougars currently sit two games out of first place with seven games remaining.

“We’re pretty confident now, we feel like we can win every game,” Wegner said. “We just have to focus one game at a time.”

The next opportunity to see the Cougars play at home is Feb. 5 at Randall Hall against Portland Community College.

The heart of every student experience is learning. One of the most beneficial lessons to learn early in a student’s career is where to get the money to pay for classes.

On Tuesday, Jan. 21, Clackamas Community College’s financial aid department offered students help navigating finan-cial aid and scholarship oppor-tunities with a free Scholarship Kickoff session. Topics included applying for the CCC Foundation Scholarships, a pool of nearly 300 aid packages, writing an effec-tive scholarship essay and how to search for external scholarships.

Darcie Iven, scholarship coor-dinator, is excited about how much easier the new online appli-cation program is to use, she said. The program allows a student to start the application process, save and return later to finish.

A student can enter the email address for the person writing their recommendation letter and the system will email that person the request.

“You can check if they have responded,” Iven said, “and even have the system send them a reminder email.”

Additional information on how to search for and apply for scholarships were distributed on printed bookmarks at the event along with and a checklist of documentation required for schol-arships. These bookmarks are also available in the enrollment services area in Roger Rook as well as from the academic advis-ing center.

The free Writing Center, where this reporter is also a peer mentor, offers students assistance with writing their scholarship essays.

The college website allows students to apply for the CCC scholarship online and lists the scholastic requirements. Tips to increase a student’s chances to successfully find financial assis-tance programs and links to exter-nal scholarship websites are pro-vided as well.

In addition to the CCC schol-arship, the college participates in the federal work-study program. Work-study provides eligible students federally funded jobs through CCC. Further financial assistance can be received in the form of grants and federal direct loans.

The cost to the college in allo-cating funds for these avenues of financial aid can be found in the school budget.

Chris Robuck, director of fis-cal services, figures out each year how much financial aid the school will pay out. The formula is based on how much money the college distributed in previous years and the growth in student enrollment. “The college gives the money to the student,” Robuck said, “and is reimbursed from the federal government.”

According to the annual bud-get report, CCC financial aid expenditures for the 2012-13 school year totaled $31,211,104. Projected financial aid totals are expected to be over $33 million for this school year.

“So far this year,” Iven said, “237 students have received near-ly half-a-million in scholarship aid.”

The deadline for applying for the CCC scholarship is April 30.

U.S. soldiers are trained to be independent, and for that reason they often don’t take to asking for help very easily. But a service on campus has set up a program for veterans who need a little help to make ends meet.

Every Tuesday, in the Bunker in the Clackamas Community College VET Center, a veteran can walk in and collect a box of food donated by the Damascus Community Church.

These boxes are packed with varying amounts of canned and dry food that the church donates. The boxes weigh between 40 and 45 pounds and are filled with a mix of food that allow the people who are receiving them to make full meals.

Greg Myers, veteran affairs coordinator, called the program very useful.

During the Christmas season, the VET Center handed out 14 boxes to veterans in need, he said.

A normal week is usually seven to eight boxes. Any leftover boxes are donated to the Associated Student

Government for their own donation programs.

The Bunker is a veterans-only recreational center on

campus that provides veterans with a variety of services, including computer stations, food and research materials.

The center also has an Xbox360 for veterans to unwind between classes.

Phil Blake, who works in the office of the Damascus Community Church, said the church started the veterans ministry to help veterans who fought to preserve freedom. The church works mostly with Oregon National Guard units, he said.

Even though it’s Winter term, there are many new students on cam-pus. The Print decided to round up informa-tion on some of our most active clubs to highlight.

New year and new goals for CCC students

Fresh starts are usually nec-essary to get the “oomph” in our steps. The anticipation of achiev-ing our dreams can be exciting yet daunting.

Around this time of the year, more than half of New Year’s resolutions are already broken or forgotten. A 2007 study con-ducted by Richard Wiseman at the University of Bristol showed 88 percent of those who set New Year’s resolutions fail.

Many resolutions concern physical health — typically los-ing weight, quitting smoking, or even exercising more often. For college students, it’s a balance between academic success, sav-ing money and maintaining an active social and dating life.

So why exactly do most peo-ple fail within weeks on their New Year’s resolution? There

are many factors possible. Either laziness sets in, reality surfaces or a lack of preparation sinks it. Richard Wisman’s study also showed that one group achieved their resolutions 22 percent more often when they actually par-ticipated in goal setting, while the second group were successful 10 percent more because they made their goals public and were sup-ported by their friends.

But have we ever compared the idea of a New Year’s resolu-tion vs. setting goals?

Think about it — goals actu-ally give you steps on how to accomplish what you want, whereas New Year’s resolu-tions tend to focus on permanent changes in your daily lifestyle. Either one requires dedication.

The Print recently surveyed Clackamas Community College students on their New Year’s resolutions to see whether they were keeping them. The results showed many students don’t believe in the idea of making a

New Year’s resolution. They pre-ferred to continue with the idea that improvement could be made every day rather than focus on the idea of changing. Setting goals seemed to be more attainable.

“It’s never been something that I was really exposed to,” freshman Valerie Warman said. “I just never thought about it a lot. I do think setting goals is important, and for a lot of people it’s very helpful. I think if you don’t keep them, it’s not really a resolution.”

Some students like Allen Johnson and Emma Eichhorn had a particular goal focusing on their education at Clackamas Community College. “I want to get all A’s this term, the next, and this fall,” Johnson said. “It hasn’t been hard. I just have to make time, sit down and study.”

Eichhorn, a transfer major, has high goals of attending Portland State University to pursue a sec-ond degree in biology. “It doesn’t matter what time of the year it is,

it’s good to always improve your-self,” Eichhorn said. “I always try to do things better.”

Andrew Plummer and Kamron Buel have goals that are geared towards serving others. “I just think the world would be a better place if everyone was nicer to each other,” said Buel. Plummer wants to help as many people as he can. “I don’t like seeing people hurt,” he said.

Some students have simpler goals for themselves. Sajjard Alsmail, from Saudi Arabia, wants to speak English well. “So Americans will understand me clearly,” he said.

And the typical goal of weight loss is actually working for Brooke Barnes, who wants to lose five pounds. “I wasn’t out of shape, but I want to get more muscle tone,” Barnes said.

It goes to show that even with the hustle of everyday life, people desire to improve whether that’s with a list of resolutions or one smart goal.

With the fourth week of winter classes coming to an end, Clackamas Community College students could be looking for ways to relieve stress and enjoy what Oregon has to offer.

Oregonians rejoice! After a long awaited couple of weeks, the weather has been slowly but

surely clearing up — at least for now. Time to put on those hiking shoes, pack a lunch and water and head out to Silver Falls State Park, Oregon’s larg-est state park.

In 2013, Silver Falls had 870,000 visitors descend on the park, which is only about an

hour south of Oregon City. The park has something fun

for everyone, but the most popu-lar is the Trail of Ten Falls, which is an 8.7 mile hike with 10 blissful waterfalls.

For visitors who are not ready for the full Trail of Ten Falls hike, there is also the Silver

Falls Lower Loop Hike, a 4.6 mile endeavor that a new hiker would appreciate.

The trail leads hikers by seven out of the 10 waterfalls, three of which one can walk behind and feel the mist. This hike is easy on the knees and worth every step!

As always, be careful on the trail. Earlier this month, a 10-year-old boy who rested against a faulty railing fell down a steep embankment.

The No. 4 ranked Cougar wres-tling team continued to represent the fighting spirit of Clackamas last Friday. They took out No. 23 ranked Southwestern Oregon Lakers.

The match announcer, Aaron Hall, introduced the wrestlers with crowd-pleasing, fight-style face offs. It was good foreshadowing of the impressive battles that took place. The Cougars showed how hard work and determination pay off. They set a good example for all Clackamas students with their work ethic and performance.

“In wrestling, you’re never done,” said Hall. “You’re working on your weaknesses and strengths a lot.”

The 125-pound division was a forfeit for Clackamas, and Southwestern Oregon’s Matthew Nguyen was awarded the win. The score started out 0-6 in favor of the Lakers.

The first match was CCC’s very

talented C.J. Palmer versus Lucas Garza at 133 pounds. With a bit of a feeling-out process, Palmer finally caught the elusive Garza. Palmer held him with all four limbs up, winning via pin.

“He was really defensive, he didn’t want to wrestle,” said Palmer. “I had to lose four pounds before the meet. I was tired from running. It’s hard cutting weight right before a match.”

The team score was tied after the first match 6-6. Next, at 141 pounds was CCC’s Robbie Rizzolino against Matt Gay. As Rizzolino tena-ciously attempted to catch Gay, Gay executed a spectacular one-handed cartwheel evade. Gay gained the advantage and used excellent con-trol. Gay won by decision. The score was then 6-9 Lakers lead.

At 149 pounds, Kenny Martin faced the Lakers’ Aaron Villain. Martin won the competitive match 7-4 and tied the meet 9-9. The Lakers had to forfeit the 157 pounds match, so the Cougars took the lead 15-9. For the 165 pounds divi-sion, Shane Sheppard of Clackamas wrestled Andrew Orr.

A few seconds into the match the

referee halted the action for blood on the mat.

“There’s blood everywhere,” he declared.

It was Orr’s nose. At the restart from standing position Orr took a two-point takedown and got a pin. Orr won. The score was tied again, 15-15. Moving up the weight divi-sions, at 174 pounds, Tyler White was set to wrestle Mikey Ayala of Southwestern Oregon. White had a very good takedown and near-fall, accruing five points, and relent-lessly tried to get Ayala’s arm out from underneath to get a pin. Ayala defended the pin, but White won. Clackamas took the lead again, 18-15.

Next up was 184 pounds Cougar powerhouse Adrian Salas versus Kolbjorn Skaflestad.

Skaflestad almost had a two-point takedown but Salas rolled at the last second. The referee called it as off the mat. The Lakers’ coach was very upset with the call. Salas executed a powerful two-point takedown and got two more points controlling the action and then two more. Salas got an impressive pin winning the match.

For the 197 pounds division, Ihoughama Odigizuwa accepted the win for Clackamas, putting the score at 24-15 as the Lakers’ forfeit.

Last, but certainly not least was CCC’s imposing 285 pounds Brandon Johnson against Teran Reedy.

Johnson had a strong two-point takedown and grabbed another three points before almost pinning Reedy. Johnson earned another three points for a dominant score of 8-0. He got another two-point takedown for 10-0 and one point for stalling was awarded to Johnson against Reedy, 11-0. Then one point was awarded to Reedy against Johnson for stall-ing, 11-1. Johnson executed one of the night’s most spectacular tech-niques with a takedown slam right at the buzzer. Johnson won 14-1.

“The slam was great,” said announcer Hall. “It was fantastic, the crowd loves those techniques. It gets the crowd into it.”

Johnson’s win put the final meet score at 34-15. Clackamas won, as expected, in dominating fashion. The following morning, Saturday, Jan. 25, the team traveled to Forest Grove for the Boxer Open tourna-

ment. Johnson was satisfied with his

team’s performance Friday night. He knew he had to stay consistent in his own game as well to succeed in the championships this season, he said.

“There’s been ups and downs,” said Johnson. “Trying to have more ups right now, just trying to push through being tired, trying to get in shape this season. Third round is usually when I start getting tired. You can lead the whole match and lose it all at the end.”

Palmer had confidence in his team for the remainder of the season and saw the possibility of champi-onship glory.

“The biggest challenge will be getting mentally prepared,” said Palmer. “I think everyone should be ready.”

The Cougars’ last home meet will be against Pacific University on Jan. 30 at 7:30 p.m. Then on Feb. 15 they will head to Rock Creek, Wyo., for regionals.
