Two men were arrested last Thursday in connection with the shooting death of Clackamas Community College basketball player Ray Bell and the shooting of his friend David Hall of West Linn which happened last Octo ber in Old Town in Portland. Chew Kim Lee, 36, and Paul Cho Yee Tsang, 38, both of 1612 N.E. 213 Ave, Troutdale, are accused of one count of murder and one count of attempted mur der each. Lee and Tsang were ar rested by Port land Police Bureau’s Tacti cal Investiga tions Division as the two men were driving out of the parking lot of the Mariott Hotel, 1401 S.W. Front Ave. The arrest of Lee and Tsang ended a four month investigation into the shooting death of Bell. The shooting took place after an argument over a parking place at Fourth Avenue and Everett Street. It is alleged by police that Lee fired at least two shots from a handgun at Bell and Hall. One of the shots hit Bell in the shoulder and passed through his chest, fa tally wounding him. Hall was shot in the right leg in the confronta tion. No weapon has been recov ered. The investigation in this case will continue. Where has Joe Lee gone ? by James W. Spickelmier Contributing writer Born on March 13,1911, and a CCC student since 1975, proba bly entitles Joe Lee, author of “The Laugh Clinic,” to the billing as CCCs oldest resident. Unfortu nately, just after the commence ment of winter term, Lee had a major setback. “It was a stroke,” said Lee, “a crazy stroke. It wasn’t a thing that was going to kill me or anything like that, but it sure put me out of whack, out of business really.” Lee suffered some paralysis on the right sideof his body. As he describes it, the right side of his body doesn’t cooperate with the left side. “I’ve got to get over that and they claim that I can with time and a positive attitude.” And a positive attitude is one thing that Lee definitely has. “I’ve discovered that I’ve got a pretty good spirit about things like this. I don’t let them get me down and I keep thinking positively all the way through them. That’s the main idea. This whole business of re covery will depend upon thinking positively, acting positively, and doing positive things until I’m up and around again.” Granted, Lee occasionally has “a little bit of a real bad moment,” but he doesn’t let it last. Lee was released from the hospital on February 9. With numerous friends visiting through out the day, Lee feels he’s not being neglected by any means and in a good position to get well. Lee plans on returning to CCC for a least one class as soon as he’s able to get out on his own. He enjoys Craig Lesley’s creative writing classes and everyone over at the computer lab. He says hello to everyone at CCC, especially the staff members he has dealt with and taken classes from. “I like all the staff out at the college,” commented Lee. “Of course, the ones I’ve taken courses from are my buddies, really.” He also wants to write more articles for his newspaper column “The Laugh Clinic,” which runs in the Clackamas Print, as he feels it will help him keep his head operating. When asked if there was any thing else he would like to add, Lee stated, “That’s a great school out there; good staff, good pro grams, and they’re all very nice. I really appreciate the college. The best thing I ever did was go out there and enroll.” Lee also mentioned that he hopes the younger students just out of high school appreciate what a wonderful learning opportunity CCC offers. “It can be one of the best times in their lives. It has been in mine.” 35,000 fish released to wild by Amber Cordry Staff Writer On January 31, approximately 25,000 fish were released into the urban stream system. Newell Creek, a stream that runs off Moss Junior High School through the Environmental Learn ing Center, was the sight for a large release of Coho salmon which were about six weeks old. These young fish were becoming endan gered by the commencement of construction on the new mall which had increasing negative environ mental effects on the growth and life expectancy of the fish. “At this point it isn’t bad, but it’s getting bad,” remarked Jerry Herrmann, director of the ELC, on the damaging turbidity of the construction sight. According to Herrmann, due to the excessive precipitation land has begun to slide into the stream system making the growth of these fish in the incubators at the ELC at risk of being in bad habitat. Herrmann and his staff de cided to release the fish with the thought that before the damage became too severe, they would learn how to survive as wild fish and migrate into the Willamette River. “Hopes are that the fish will return to spawn at the ELC but we are only expecting that one per cent return," explained Herrmann. The impatt of the mud in the stream is particularly significant, because the Fish And Wildlife Commission has named Newell Creek a “Class 1” stream due to its extremely high capability for fish rearing. Preparing the salmon for the future, the students have created a fish ladder to aide the fish in their return. The ELC created the ladder which is unlike any other. It is specifically designed and di rectly related to our stream sys tem. The ELC is currently waiting for the approval of the city com mission to allow an alteration to the natural stream system now intact. by Margy Lynch Staff Writer First Interstate Bank has agreed to install an Automatic Teller Machine on campus some time in March of 1990. Gary Dirrim, dean of col lege services, and Heidi Stardig, ASG student senator, have been working on the project since early last term. Tim Jones, now ASG presi dent, instigated the project this year. Last year’s student gov ernment also worked on it, but never actually got a machine installed according to Stardig. “We also asked U.S. Na tional Bank if they could put a machine in,” said Stardig, “but they weren’t real excited about it. They said that they already had too many machines installed in the hilltop area.” First Interstate Bank was “more enthused” about doing it, according to Stardig. “There has been much better response from them in correspondence,” she said. According to Stardig, U.S. National Bank required that ASG pay a fee in order to have the machine installed. First Inter state, however, requires no charge and will pay the expenses of having it here. The machine is a Cirrus sys tem machine. This means that people who bank with First In terstate, or are members erf other banks that use the Cirrus ATM system will have access to the machine. According to Dirrim, there is a possibility of convert ing the ATM machine so it will also accept Exchange bank cards some time this fiscal year. The machine is planned to be located outside the Commu nity Center, according to Stardig Dirrim will be meeting with a representative from the bank to discuss further details. “We get a lot of verbal com ments about the ATM ma chines,” said Stardig “but what we really need is something in writing. If people could write their comments down and drop them in the suggestion box, it would help a lot.”
