Writer discovers horizons
Again and again I’ve writ
ten about basketball, football,
baseball, and most sports out
there. I often welcome a
chance to write about
something new.
All the preparations were
made and we were all set to
go. The only thing left to do
was show up at “The Print”
office at 8 a.m.
After accomplishing this,
1! of us loaded into a
Clackamas Community Col
lege van and two more into a
lead car.
Our destination: Maupin,
Oregon. The population: 510.
Our mission: A test of
strength, endurance, and
fear.
The
obstacle:
The
Deschutes River.
As Don Shula, our leader,
stated it, the first concern
was safety, education was
number two, and fun was
number three. The first order
of business was putting on
the wetsuits, This took
awhile. Not to brag, but I
didn’t have the trouble that
most had, and come to think
of it the other two male
members of our group (Shula
and Staff Writer Eric Berg) ac
complished this task easily
also.
As the females put on their
wetsuits (it seemed to take
forever), Berg and I tested the
water and the suits for their

durability.
We got into the water
about three miles south of
Maupin. Between two rubber
rafts, there were six people in
one and seven in the other. I
was lucky, I was in the raft
that was equipped with the
cooler stuffed with food.
On the stretch of the
Deschutes we covered, the
calm water didn’t last long.
Soon we were up to the first
set of rapids. These waves,
which looked tolerable from
the road, were suddenly
coming at us fast. The end
result was a series of waves
that drenched the two front
paddlers, Staff Writer Jodie
Martini and me.
During this time we went
through over a half-dozen of
these rapids, our fears were
washed away by anticipa
tion and expectations. I was
sorry to see it end.
We took the rafts out
about 30 to 40 yards up river
from Shearer’s Falls, which
is considered among the
most dangerous of river con
ditions. Shearer’s Falls is
about eight miles north of
Maupin.
Taking the wetsuits Off
took almost as much time as
putting them on. After a
short dinner at a cosy
Maupin diner, the group got
back in the van and traveled
the two hour trip home.
Among them, a sports writer
who found one more spot
that was worth covering
again and again.
Clackamas Community College
Cougars host meet
By Mark Borrelli
Staff Writer
Clackamas Community Col
lege hosted its annual invita
tional cross country meet Satur
day Oct. 17, and the host
Cougars had some outstanding
individual performances for the
men, and a strong team showing
from the women.
Keith Farrell led the way for
the men, crossing the finish line
first with a time of 25:36.
“Keith ran a very strong race,
he beat the rest of the field by 57
seconds,” praised Coach Mike
Hodges. Other top finishers for
the men were Jerry Durant,
finishing 10th with a time of
,27:19. Ryan Burco was right
behind Durant finishing 11th
.with a time of 27:23. The next
Cougars to finish was Scott
Sheldon who finished 13th with
a time of 27:33.
As a team the Clackamas men
didn’t fare so well, finishing
third behind Bellvue and Mt..
Hood, Coach Hodges definitely
was not pleased with his team’s
performance, ‘‘As a team we
didn’t run very well. We let five
Bellvue runners get between our
first, and fifth place runners
and we let two Mt. Jlood run
ners get between us.” At the
start of the year Clackamas, the
defending State Champion was
favored to repeat, but coach

Hodges doesn’t consider
Clackamas the favorite
anymore. “Mt. Hood has to be
the favorite. We have to run
smarter to have a chance in the
State Championships.”
The women however ran a
very good team race and finish
ed second behind a very tough
team from Lane. “That was the
best performance by a
Clackamas women’s team in
some time,” rioted Hodges,
“That also was the first time a
Clackamas team has finished
ahead of a Mt. Hood team in
quite some time.” Top in
dividual performances were
turned in by numerous
Clackamas women, with three
Cougar runners crossing the line
in the top ten. Winning the
event in a time of 18:40 was
Sarah Elliott from Mt. Hood.
Molly McArtor was the first to
cross for Clackamas - coming in
4th with a time of 19:36. Right
^behind her was teammate
Jeanne Barnett finishing fifth
with a time of .19:46. Heather
McElheny closed out the top
ten, with a tenth place finish of
20:18.
Both the men and the women
will have a week off to prepare
