CORINNE RUPP Opinion Editor CCC will host college represen tatives from around the state for the annual Transfer Day Monday, Jan. 29 from 10-2 in the Gregory Forum. This drop-in col lege fair pro vides an op portunity for stu dents to meet with college and university repre sentatives in order to learn more about their schools. Most in-state schools will be present at this event and will have representatives from in dividual programs, such as busi ness and education, on hand. Academic advisor Brian Mills recommends that anyone thinking about transferring to an in-state school should come and talk to some of the representatives. Go ing to Transfer Day, according to Mills, helps you get a four year picture. Transfer Day provides an oppor tunity for students to question in- dividual schools about their spe cific transfer process. Everything from when applications need to be turned in to housing options can be discussed at length at the event. “It is important to make a con- nection to the university you are attend ing as soon as pos sible in rder to stay on track," Mills said. Mills also rec- ommends Transfer Day for unde- cided students as a way of becom ing more familiar with their educa tional choices. “You can pick up fliers and cata logs from all over, but mostly in-state schools,” said Mills. Colleges and universities will be side-by-side during this event. This gives students the chance to compare the various programs schools offer in order to find the best fit. The Scholarship Commission will also be present at the event to an swer questions about financial aid.

Auto mechanic, friend passes away STEVE NIELSEN News Editor Charles “Fred” Bellmore, a CCC graduate and auto parts merchan diser at the college, died of heart related problems last Saturday, Jan. 20, at the age of 61. Bellmore lived in Portland with his wife Mona, and is also survived by their three daughters, one son and nine grandchildren. Health problems made it neces sary for Bellmore to leave his job as an independent mechanic. He attended Clackamas from 1994-97. After Bellmore graduated from the college with an associate de gree and received a certificate in parts merchandising, he started working part-time in the automo tive program as an auto parts mer chandiser, supplying parts for auto body, auto service and manufac turing. “He was a great guy,” said Auto Body Instructor Wayne Austen. “He was a really easy guy to talk to and got along with all the stu dents.” “He never met a stranger,” said Jim Neufeld, an instructor in the automotive program and close friend of Bellmore. The two were also both avid fishermen and used to fish together regularly. “He was happiest with a fishing pole in his hand,” said Neufeld. “I was sorry to see him make his last cast.” Bellmore’s family is planning to gather at Drift Creek, near Waldport, for a time of remem brance sometime in early fall.
