? Prizes ranged from $50 to $250
gift certificates to either George’s
Ceramic Supply or to Art Media,
Sind one tuition waiver was given to
Hubbard. The art department is for
tunate to be able to offer such
awards through funding by the Lee
Hutchison Endowment for Visual
Arts.
“All over the country there are
art departments that don’t have any
money for their student show,” said
David Anderson, art department
chair,
“but
the
Hutchison
Endowment is kind of designed to
bring up and give opportunities to
our students, and that’s why it’s
important.”
Clackamas math teacher Don
Hutchison started the Hutchison
Endowment in November 1997, the
month after his brother, Lee
Hutchison, an artist well known by
former Clackamas art students, was
tragically killed in a car accident.
The endowment serves both as a
memorial to Lee Hutchison and as
an effort to aid young, struggling
artists, according to Anderson.
Bob Dozono, Portland artist and
retired chairman of the Portland
Community College art department,
judged the artwork.
This year Anderson and visual
arts instructor Nora Brodnicki
judged the artwork before it was
entered into the show. Of the 130
pieces submitted 75 were selected
for display in the show. Anderson
said that the result was a better
organized, more comprehensive
show, prior to passt years, where all
submissions were displayed
“The show is a lot cleaner,” said
Anderson. “Everything that’s in the
show has attained a certain level of
understanding in the contemporary
art world in visual art. We’ve
received a lot of compliments on it
and we think it looks great.”
The art show will run through
May 30 in the Pauling Gallery.
Exhibits are free and open to the
public.
Election Q&A today at noon
‘Reading to the Rabbi, ’ a painting by Scholarship Award
winner Kerrie Hubbard, is one of 75 pieces on display in

After a strong showing last week
at the national tournament,
Clackamas’ speech and debate team
went on to take gold in the state
competition held April 25 and 26.
The competition, which featured
Oregon and Washington community
colleges, was held on campus and
capped off a good year for
Clackamas.
“They did great. I couldn’t be
happier,” said Forensics Coach
Kelly Brennan. “It was a nice close
to a successful year.”
Clackamas won 17 individual
medals and took home a total of 22
awards including the team title.
Lizzie Pearson won silver in
informative and bronze in impromp
tu. Stacie Bariesheff took silver in
extemporaneous. Melissa Karki
won bronze in poetry and silver in
prose. Jennifer Nelson won gold in

bracket, and Karki and Bariesheff
also gold in the bracket they com
peted in. The Pearson sisters were
able to win the bronze medal in the
debate competition.
Altogether, Clackamas racked up
between 230 and 240 speech medals
this year. Compared to the 100 that
a majority of schools average,
Clackamas has really felt the bene
fits of a successful program.
“We’ve been very blessed with
really good students [and] very,
very supportive administration,”
said Brennan. “Without them and
their support, [we would be]
nowhere.”
Brennan expects to have a very
strong group of returning students
on the team next year. A total of 10
are expected to stay and participate
in next year’s program. Matt
Steketee and Karki will both be
moving on to PSU, but many other
talented competitors will be here to
carry the program. Thé Pearsons
will all be returning next year after
having a surprising year of success.
“The Pearsons, Lizzie, Joanna
and Brie surprised me. I knew they
had talent, but when you have 14,
15 and 17 who are now 15, 16 and
18 [year-old] homeschool kids...
they’re a different type of student,”
said Brennan. “These kids are so
gifted, and Joanna got silver at
nationals, which is second best in
the nation.”
