Westcott plays in Mother's Day recital
by Hafidha Acuay
Staff Writer
The Clackamas Music De­
partment sponsored a Mother’s
Day classical recital by interna­
tional pianist, Mark Westcott,
Sunday afternoon in the Gregory
Forum.
More than 100 people at­
tended the event, where Westcott
performed Bach’s “Chromatic
Fantasy and Fugue,” Schubert’s
“Sonata in B flat Major, opus
posthumous” and several pieces
by Liszt.
Janet Martin, a piano instruc­
tor at Clackamas, contacted
Westcott and coordinated the
concert.
“I’ve admired him for a long
time,” she said. In the past, Mar­
tin has sent some of her master
students to Westcott. “I asked
him to come and do a master
class... and it was well-received,”
she added.
Westcott agreed to play at
Clackamas because, as Martin
explained, “he likes the facility,
(he) likes the piano, and of course,
we paid him, which helped.”
Westcott, who is in his “mid­
forties,” is a Portland native. He
has classical honors in five inter­
national piano competitions, one
of them being the distinguished
Van Cliburn. Westcott is also an

Mothers' Day recital at the Gregory Forum
artist in residence at Pacific Uni­
versity. However, next fall, he’ll
be teaching at the University of
British Columbia in Vancouver,
Canada, Martin noted.
Westcott, Oregon’s only
Steinway artist, performed the
concert on the college’s newly
restored and rebuilt 1885 Stein­
way grand piano.
The cost of admission for the
recital was $5; all money raised
will help pay for the Music De­
partment’s bronze mask of Miles

FRC surpasses fundraising goal
by Linda Gibson
Staff Writer
The Family Resource Cen­
ter’s Mothers’ Day card, to date,
has generated $1,300.
“Our goal was $1,000, so
we’ve topped that,” said Corky
Kirkpatrick, Clackamas’ grants/
special projects writer. As a re­
sult, the Mothers’ Day card will
hopefully be an annual fundraiser
for the FRC. Every dollar that
has been donated is going toward
paying off the FRC building.
There were no overhead expenses
because the Clackamas Founda­
tion donated the funds to get the
cards printed.
“We didn’t set any limits on
the amount of possible donations,
and will still accept donations
anytime,” stated Kirkpatrick. All
donations to the FRC are tax
deductible.
A FRC packet explaining the
fundraiser, a Mothers’ Day card
and a donation envelope were
mailed to approximately 1,200
former graduates.
Anne Pardington, a life and
career options instructor, had
donated money to the foundation
in her mother’s name. Parding­
ton thought the idea of offering
Mothers’ Day cards would be a
wonderful way to show apprecia-
tion to mothers, and help gener­
ate money for the center at the
same time. Pardington, along with
Kirkpatrick, helped implement the
fundraising idea.
The FRC is designed to help
families expand their educational
and career opportunities. It of­
fers a variety of services needed
for success, including basic skills
education, college credit classes,
pre-employment training, career
counseling, support services and
community child care.
