On Jan. 16, Clackamas made the journey down 1-5 to Roseburg, Oregon to do battle with the Timbermen of Umpqua Community College.

Tondreau and Lawson Struve led the Cougars in rebounding with seven each. Clackamas coach Clif Wegner complimented the role that his substitutes played in his team’s success over the past seven days, saying, “We had some really good perfor mances off the bench, espe cially from Rus Schneider and Jon Rylaarsdam." On Saturday, the Cougars paid homage to the only team tied with Clackamas for their division’s lead, the Lakers of Southwestern Oregon Commu nity College. ClaGkamas’ de fense faired better in this match than it did against Umpqua, holding their adversary to just 71 points, and forcing 14 turn overs.

That’s a real challenge for us. Every game is a playoff game for us now, that’s how everybody is coaching it. We’re on everybody’s hit list, beating Clackamas is a big sea son-maker for any team we play,” Wegner said, in speaking of the match up. On Saturday, Linn-Benton stops by Clackamas to try to im prove their 2-2 league record. With an over all record of 7-10, the Runners do not seem to pose a threat to the dominant Cougars. Water, weight loss and weightlifting By Nick Barron Perhaps it is everybody’s belief that they are relatively “in shape,” it was mine before I added a little class called “Health and Fitness for Life.” My first thought when I enrolled in this course was that it would get me into the weight room, as my mind was clouded with thoughts of having Brad Pitt abs and Lou Ferrigno biceps. How na ive. In instructor Nancy Mikleton’s class, I am expected not only to lift weights for 50 minutes three days a week but to live the life of a pro athlete. I am supposed to infuse 96 ounces of water into my body on a daily basis. In order to achieve good cardiorespiratory health, I need to exercise like a mall-walker on steroids for 60 minptes five days a week. That Whopper from Burger King, if that ends up in my stomach, I’ll be required to jog at 7 mph for 30 minutes to bum it off. Running for that long at that pace makes me want to eat three more Whoppers. It’s a good thing I can’t afford to buy a milk shake, or I’d end up jog ging four miles to rid my body of those calories. Because I have chosen to have my name on the roster of HPE 295, I must lug a bottle of water around with me everywhere I go. It is my new companion, kind of like a cell phone, except this item forces me to stop every 15 minutes for some r & r time with the urinals on cam pus. The class starts with a warm lecture session in which my in structor lets me know how fat and unhealthy I am. We get to watch videos in which formerly over weight people inform me it is easy to drop 20 pounds and my un healthy habits can change like a green light in rush hour. While I am trying to learn how to love as paragus and hate French fries, there is a tap-dancing class going on in the neighboring classroom. Maybe I could concentrate more on putting that donut down and picking that bagel up if those ‘‘Gre gory Hines wannabes” next door would can it. When ten o’ clock rolls around, I am released for fifteen minutes to enjoy, not a nice cold Pepsi, but a nice aerobic workout. I have now found that nothing gets me going in the morning like a good brisk walk in the rain. As soon as my time on the track is completed, I hurry inside and take my heart rate. I am not sure what it means when my heart beats that many times in ten seconds, but I’m thinking it must be good cause my class mates’ numbers are far less than mine. Now the real fun begins, for our instructor leads us all in stretch ing exercises. I know that these are good for me because my body sounds like a bowl of Rice Krispies as I contort it into positions even Mary Lou Retton would be pleased with. By the way, the human form can closely resemble Gumby, mi nus the green skin. Of course, in the class we have those who are apparently in train ing for a trip to Salt Lake City in February, as they do not seem to need any more weightlifting. For instance, there is a guy, who I call G. I. Joe because he was in the Ma rines, I could learn a lot from as he apparently could bench press his weight by the time he was nine. But I guess it isn’t that bad, I mean, at least I am using my blad der more. I am very familiar with the facilities at Clackamas, most of which work very well. I now know how much stronger some of my peers are than I am, and how much body fat I have that I don’t need. In all honesty, only time will tell if this class actually aided me in my quest to be a Greek god. All I have to do is down that water, exercise an hour everyday, devour only fruits, vegetables and lean meat— in other words, never eat fast food. Oh, that reminds me, I need to run to McDonald’s.
