FEATURE THE PRINT October 26,1988 Page 3 Eddy becomes own boss, opens Mulino pet store by Caree Hussey Feature/Managing Editor “I’m always busy, but it’s a good kind of busy,” said Susan Eddy. Eddy has a lot of irons in the fire these days. Not only is she a wife and mother of two, but she’s, also a student here at CCC ma joring in veterinary medicine. Recently she opened her own pet store. This isn’t the first pet store Eddy has owned. When she lived in Nebraska a few years ago she not only owned her own pet store, she raised all the animals that she sold in it. Eddy was also a member of the Wildlife Rescue Team there. Eddy explained that she’s “been an animal person all my life.” Currently, Eddy and her family personally own 10 ferrets, three cats, two dogs, one bird, one lizard and 30 fish. “I like people and I like ani-. mals,” said Eddy. But that isn’t her only reason for opening a pet shop. “I live in an area where there are no pet shops and I needed an income,’’she said. Plus, she hasn’t found any local pet shops that she feels she can trust. Eddy feels that her pet store is different because,”I do research. I get five trade magazines and one hobbyist magazine and I read them cover to cover. Plus I own 75 encyclopedia-type books on animals. If there’s something I don’t know then I’ll consult vets and other reliable people in the business. I also go to seminars.” According to Eddy, most pet stores “don’t even read the maga zines they have in their own stores.” Eddy commented that she only sells “quality animals and fish,’’and that “I 100 percent guarantee all my fish and ani-. mals.” How is she able to do this? “All my animals and fish get personal care. I talk to my ani mals and fish, I give them indi vidual attention. It’s necessary for normal growth.” There is one exception to the guarantee: “I don’t like sell - Work study jobs open by Jillian Porter Staff Writer Reference, experience, edu cation and pay are just a few of the advantages of being in the work-study program. To obtain wiork-study, a student would have had to have applied for financial aid between April 1 and April 22. Ofthe 156 people who have been granted work study, only 100 have applied for jobs. Pay rates for the work study program range from $4.02 up to $4.97 per hour, with a possible earning of up to $850.00 per quarter. Checks are mailed once a month. All of the jobs are on campus and can be rotated around a student’s own class schedule. Since last year, there has been a 44% increase in the number of financial aid applicants. “Applications are going to be reviewed for those students who have handed in the financial aid form between April 1 and April 22,” said Kathleen Scheer. Therefore, students may obtain work study only if they have al ready applied. Students who have been awarded work study-should go to the Job Placement Center and let Sheri Schoenbom know if they still want to be in thé program, before the job they want is given to someone else.Or, they just let the Financial Aid Department know if they do not want to use the work study that has been granted. The work-study that has not been claimed, will be given away without consent of the stu dent who has accepted the pro gram. CCC students visit Ad Museum by Patricia Adams Staff Writer Jerry Leadham, Mel Hos- teger and 15 advertisingstudents visited the American Advertis ing Museum, Thursday Oct. 20. The Advertising Museum is the only one. of its kind in the world. It was started by contri butions and loans from advertis ing agencies in June 1986. The present theme of the' ' museum was political advertis ing. Included were videos of the , candidates who are running in the election as well as ones from pastyears. Some of the permanent I exhibits are the advertising time [ line which shows when advertis- I ing first started and brings you to present day. The specialty sec- 1 don shows items that worked their way into the hearts of American homes. The outdoor section displays Neon lighted signs such as the Greyhound’s “Running Dog”, the Mobile gas “Flying Horse” and the famous Burma Shave signs which at one time were actually part of Portland’s history. Eddy’s store, The Fishery and Friends Pet Shop currently has for sale: fish, rats, hamsters and ferrets. Anything other than that can be special ordered. the shop is located at 26362 S. Hwy. 213 and Mulino, and is open from 4-9 p.m. during the week, and 10-6 p.m. on Saturday.

Dotson Staff Writer Clackamas Community Col lege’s Forensics Program, also known as the debate team, took part in The Pioneer Classic at Lewis & Clark Oct. 14 and 15. The subject for this debate was that significantly.stronger third party participation in US presidential elections would benefit the political process. Members of the debate team for this year are Kevin Swanson, Sara Lack, Jill Overfield, Stepha nie Stokes, andMitch Sherrard. Only Jill Overfield has had expe rience at the college level, said Randy Baker, who is the new coach for the debate team re placing Frank Harlow while he is on sabbatical leave. Debate is only one event that team members do individually, Baker said. There are 12 things they do individually, such as: informative speaking, persuasive speaking, and an oral interpreta tion of literature which border lines on acting. What goes into a debate is mostly research and preparation. At this debate, 12 hours were spent debating. There was three to four times that much was done preparing and researching. If you are looking for a place to. visit and learn at the same time, go spend and hour at the museum. In this tournament 15-20 four-year-colleges were to com pete. There was a much smaller number of community colleges present at The Pioneer Classic. In all there were 500 to 1000 people participating. The museum is located at 2nd and Bumside in Portland, and is open Wednesday through Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Satur day and Sunday 12 noon to 5,p.m. Admission is $1.50; children 12 and under are free. Columbia Community Col lege made a good showing; their team has been building for a few years.. Clackamas Community College on the other hand, is a much younger team, according to Baker. CCC won some debates and did very well in speaker points. Speaker points are awarded depending on how competent the speaker was and how well he presented the issue. The team brought home no trophies, but they were happy with how well they did. “I have worked with teams with no talent and feel that this team has a lot of talent and it’s a . said. Debates were done in a two on two level: two teams of two people debate, for about an hour and a half. “The team is building into a family,” Bakersaid. He added that everyone is working together. The team is now preparing for the next debate, which is .the First Designated Tournament at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, during Oct. centimeters iÎ3iii|ini|4 49.25 -0.16 0.01 ing fish to people who won’t lis ten about the care. I can’t offer the guarantee to people like that,’’Eddy said. Eddy said that she will “try to find out what people have and what they want to mix with. You have to knowwhat they want and require from that animal or fish.” Normally, she will not buy fish locally because “most fish will live from two to five years, but the average age here is four to five weeks.” When Eddy does buy fish locally, she handpicks each one. What is Eddy’s secret for time management? “I only sleep about two or three hours per night, plus my husband helps by running the business end." 17 38.62 -0.18 -0.04 18(B) 28.86 0.54 0.60 •IQ 16.19 -0.05 0.73 20 i 8.29 -0.81 0.19 21 3.44 -0.23 0.49
