After a long journey;- the
StaffoidErradc now hasaperma-
nent home on the campus of
Claekamas Community College;
next to the visitor parking lot
outside the Community Center.
The term erratic is used to
describe non-native rocks that
were carried into the Willamette
Valley by flooding between
12,800 and 15,000 years ago.
The Stafford Erratic, which
is composed of granite, weighs in
at nearly 14 tons, (roughly the
same size as two African bull
elephants), and is the second larg
est erratic now known in the
Willamette Valley.
“From a geological perspec
tive this is one of the most impor
tant rocks in the valley now,”
explained Geology Instructor
John Snively. “These kinds of
discoveries are major tourist at
tractions if put in the right loca
tion.”
The erratic came to the at
tention of Snively last year when
one of his students, Allen Pynn,
mentioned seeing it when the
State Highway Department put in
1-205 about 20 years ago.
After finding the location of
the erratic, Snively, with the help
of Darlene Hooley, spent six
months getting the proper per
mits from the State Highway
Department to relocate it to the
John Snively stands next to The Stafford Erratic. Snively
and many other members of the community helped bring
the erratic to CCC.
CCC campus.
When permission was finally
received to move the rock to an
other spot, a student of Snively’s
class, Gordon Jonesof Clackamas
Sand and Gravel, assumed the
taskofprojectcooidinator. Jones
was able to enlist the donated
help of seven different compa
nies for the relocation.
One of the companies that
took part in the move was Ross
Bros. Company, Inc., represented
by Steve Ross, who supplied most
of the work force and much of the
machinery. Ross also directed
the actual pick-up, delivery and
emplacement of the erratic.
“I really can’t thank every
one who was involved with this
project enough,” exclaimed
Snively, “especially Allen, Gor
don and Steve. When it was all
Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
What democracy has given,
bureaucracy may take away.
Oregon legislators recently
mandated the use of bittering
agents in antifreeze. For half a
cent, antifreeze (a tasty poison)
can be' made so bitter children
can’t drink it Legislation was
necessary: U.S. manufacturers,
who embitter what they sell in
foreign markets, have refused to
protect our children.
It’s important. Antifreeze
kills. In 1991, three died in Indi
ana after drinking it TheCounty
Coroner said a bittering agent
could have saved them.
The problem: antifreeze firm
is quietly lobbying for an exemp
tion. It must not be granted. Please

The flooding, which brought
the erratics to the valley, was
caused by the southward move
ment of the continental ice sheet
into Northern Idaho near the end
of the Pleistocene period.
The icebergs that were car
ried into the valley with the flood
waters would then drift toward
the shorelines of the flood where
they would melt and deposit their
load of rocks, known as erratics
and debris.
There will be a dedication
ceremony for the Stafford Erratic
at a later date. At the time of the
dedication, a plaque made pos
sible by a $1,000 donation from
Bob Traverso at Canby Sand and
Gravel, will be put on display
with the erratic, explaining abrief
outline of its history.
Students produce,
direct one-acts
by Nolan C. Kidwell
News Editor
Three one act plays were pre
sented by the Clackamas Drama
Department during the last week
of Fall Term.
All three plays were produced
and directed entirely by CCC stu
dents.
The first of the plays, “San
dra and the Janitor,” was directed
by Joe Abbott who also played
the part of the janitor. The plot of
the play centered around the rela
tionship of a 17-year-old girl and
the grimy janitor of the apartment
complex which she lives in.
“Their relationship is really
awful because they are both seri
ously mixed up,” Abott said. “She
mostly pesters the janitor,” he
explained. “Sometimes you won
der if it. isn’t a two way thing,
though.”
A piece called, “A Morality
Play for the Leisured Class,” was
directed by Julie Amato.
“It is basically a satirical look
at the afterlife,” Amato said. She
explained that it is a short play
about the soul of a gentleman
arriving at what he assumes is
heaven. Itisrevealedattheendof
the play that the soul of this gentle
man is in “the other place,” as he
refers to it in the play,
“New Quixote,” directed by
Joe Matukewicz, was about an
older woman and a younger man
who engage in what the woman
assumes is a “one night fling.”
However, she wakes up in the
morning to find that the younger
man thought that there was more
commitment behind the previous
evening, and has begun to move
his belongings into her apartment
