Feature Art of Nature short-lived Joel P. Shempert Staff Writer The Art of Nature benefit show and art sale was shown on May 3-4; it is unfortunate that it is no longer available for viewing. The event, the purpose of which was to raise funds to aid the Environmental Learning Center (ELC), featured the work of a total of nine accom plished artists, each with a na ture-based theme. The art pre sented a wide spectrum of nearly everything, from vivid oil paintings of animals and landscapes to bronze sculptures of an American West/Native American theme. It was a show well worth seeing. The revenues taken in by the show, however, were less than spectacular. The traffic in the ELC was rather light over the weekend, and after expenses were paid, there was little left for use by the ELC. However, the progress made by the show should be looked on as incre mental rather than immediate. As Joyce Sanders of the ELC observed, this event was a building block which increased awareness and therefore laid the foundation on which future efforts can be built. “Financially, it wasn’t very successful, but the exposure to the center was very well re ceived,” said Sanders. There will be another benefit show this September, and hopefully the surrounding community’s increased knowledge of the En vironmental Learning Center’s existence, as well as exposure to the artists, will produce a greater turnout at that time. Of course, any art event, benefit or not, is ultimately not about revenue but about the art ists, and the participants were well worthy of the renown they either have received or will re ceive soon. The weekend’s art- -the oil works of Dolores Egger and Anastasia, the oils, graph ite and colored pencils of Cheryl DeVoe, the stained glass windows of Richard Schnacky, the “Tribe” series of Native American theme dolls, the wa tercolors of Iva Wakeman, the Bronze sculpture and related works of Celene Greene, the pastels and occasional oils by Jeri Deckard, and the works in both pencil and colored pencil by her up-and-coming daugh ter, Dana Deckard—all these were well-crafted and pleasing to the eye. It is hoped that the next time these artists or others visit the ELC, the community will benefit from the display in greater numbers. They literally don’t know what they’re miss ing.

The Clackamas Print Wednesday, May 15,1996 Club ATTENTION OJenbAr Brian Ray Staff Writer After 18 years of service to Clackamas Community College, Music Department Secretary Jean Marshall will be retiring at the end of the current term. A staff member since 1977, Marshall has seen the college go through many changes through the years. Marshall looks back fondly on her beginning at CCC. “I live very near the college and there was an ad in the paper looking for a music secretary. That was in the spring of 1977. I got the job and have been here ever since,” Marshall said. “I had worked as a secretary for a number of years prior to that, so I had a lot of sec retarial skills. Also I was very in terested in music because I’ve al ways been a church musician. I was directing a church choir and playing piano for our church. “This seemed like a wonder ful place to work and combine secretarial skills and learn more about music in every way pos sible,” Marshall continued. “I took some classes, I sang in choirs, and learned a lot of things that helped me grow musically,” she explained. “A class I have taken that’s been wonderful is the Finale' class. It’s a music nota tion and software class. There are a lot of uses for that, especially for church musicians, in that they can write their own compositions and print them out. They can do transposing when necessary.” Marshall has lots of plans for retirement. “Yes, I’m looking forward to retiring, especially so that I will have time to do some of the other things that I would really like to spend time on. One of them is writing poetry. I took some classes here at the college that interested me and helped me get started in writing poetry. Diane Averill helped me a lot, and I’d like to do more of that. I’d like to write some music and spend more time doing that.”Students have made Marshalls job enjoyable. “I’ve really enjoyed working at the college, especially in the music department. The students have been just exceptional. It Photo by Chad Patteson Jean Marshall has been secretary for the Music Department since 1977. seems like every year there are wonderful students that I get to know and that’s one of the things I like about the job is that I come in contact with so many students. I have a lot of opportunity to build a rapport with students,” she said. “The faculty here in the mu sic department has just been great. They’re a wonderful group of people who are really great to work with. It just couldn’t be a better experience. It’s always been very enjoyable, and I have just loved every minute of it.” Fiction writer graces CCC Karin Redston, Assistant Opinion Editor & Virginia Tondreau The humor presented by writer Ron Carlson at last Thurs day night’s reading generated much laughter in the audience. “People think of humor as the frosting on the cake,” Carlson said. “It’s not the frosting on the cake and humor is not the cake. And it’s not the table on which the cake rests. But it’s the crooked floor on which the table rests.” As Carlson read excerpts from his story “What We Want to Do,” his tone added to the rich ness of the story filled with hu- mor and imagery. One scene in particular was where oil was being heated in or der to be poured down upon the enemy. I was actually trying to imagine at what temperature would oil boil and how much wood was needed to be carried up there.At the end of this piece Carlson said, “It’s not your re sponsibility to know what you have written, but write as closely as you can, then get out of the way.” This piece unfolded the story of Keith and Barbara who meet and become friends in the high school chemistry lab. Though the story is humorous, it also deals MENTAL ALERTNESS ahHAilifa pteagacdy sHfaplae- teaenda- daldtt to Hhrifi&iHti töMTiai to Hài ænr vatsiììrgi HjutfalVhari X'Hâüüi wJsHáܱhkÍhj with issues surrounding Keith having cancer. The story went beyond cancer to living each day to its fullest and experiencing all that is within your reach, and be ing a little crazy in the process. He kept pulling on the lines like a great fisherman drawing us into his stories of everyday scenes. His mixing of real characters and issues in stories was so vivid and colorful that it was hard to take it all in the first time. Carlson took us from our focus on reality to a place where we could laugh and reflect, drawing us into his land scape and keeping us on the edge of our seats, mentally wanting more.
