The Clackamas Print Page 2 Wednesday, Oct 26,1994 NEWS Co-op receives grant Accident claims life of student by Jocelyn Gauthier Feature Editor CCC’s Co-op Education pro gram recently received $128,943 as the first installment in a five- year grant from the U.S. Depart ment of Education to aid work experience students. The Co-op program is part of all technical fields of study on campus. One six-credit term of co-op work experience is re quired, with a minimum of 15 to 20 hours per week. Most jobs are paid. “It is the hands-on portion of the class where students practice and hone in on skills to work in,” said Glen Farris, director of the co-op grant. “Students really ben efit from that.” Every week, the students come together for a two-hour seminar to discuss sev eral things, including manage ment style, resume development, peer relations and current job-re lated issues. “Most students want to know why they are doing it,” Farris said. The grant represents 69 per cent of the total expenditures for the first year, and the college will provide the other $80,731. The grant will help improve the school-to-work transition. By the end of five years, Farris hopes to see more instructors, a secretary, a director and job-site personnel. “We hope not to not only cen tralize and expand our co-op of ferings through this grant in the coming five years, but to estab lish a coordinated system with the K-12 districts,” said President John Keyser. One of the goals Farris has is to merge with the high schools in region 15, the work force area containing Clackamas County. The region recently received a three-year grant for school-to- work transition training. The college has many work experience programs already, but they have been administered by individual departments. The new plan will centralize the areas not involved in co-op in the county as well as make the transition from school to college to work easier. It will also act as a clearing house for prospective employers for students. “The irony of it is, most stu dents are hired at the job site, so we have to develop new jobs,” Farris said.

Direct inquiries to Cori Q w by Jesse Sowa Staff Writer A recent Molalla High School graduate and physical education major at Clackamas died in a car accident Oct. 19.

The collision occurred when Ettestad, a junior at M.H.S., approached a curve near the intersection of Mulino Road and Airport Road, four miles north of Molalla. Ettestad was driving east on Mulino Road at about 4:30 p.m., when he applied his brakes and skid ded into the westbound lane, col liding head-on with Wood’s pickup. Wood was taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Port land where he died about 6:45 p.m. Ettestad was not injured in the accident.

Forsberg loans robe to college The robe was made sometime between 1890 and 1930 and was made of mountain goat wool in natural and dyed colors. Some of the wool in the robe is twisted with cedar bark. This rare treasure was loaned to the college by Mrs. Donna Forsberg of Gladstone, who found it in a garage sale for about $4. When she had it appraised, she learned that it is worth about $12,000. “When she saw it, she thought it probably had some sig- ;niftcant'value,”' said her grand- ; son’ Tobias Forsberg. The Smithsonian wanted it on display, but she decided she wanted it at CCC. She thinks the college is the best thing happen ing in the area; it provides a lot for students.” For more information, see The Chilkat Dancing Blanket by Cheryl Samuel in the CCC li Photo by Josh Kehler The Chilkat Indian dancing robe Is currently on loan to CCC brary. by Jocelyn Gauthier Feature Editor.
