I 2 e IV J 4JI I May 4, 2005 M CKAMA sprint Nezi High school contes evaluates auto skit Friday was the Ford-AAA High School Automotiy Skills Competition. 10 schools from Hillsboro to Siu school districts competed this year. 10 Ford Tauruses had the same 10 malfunctions, a each team had to fix as many problems as possible, there was a time limit, speed was not a factor of the ing. Obviously, there was an emphasis on quality of manship. “Judges looked at students’ workmanship, missed or driving safety,” said Ray Conklin, who has organ) the skills competition for the past 15 years, despite as a Clackamas Community College automotive instr two years ago. He went on to say,”If any of these cf aren’t met, the team receives a demerit.” This year’s winners receive scholarships to Clack or Mt. Hood Community College.

Randall remodel: New space for dance, yoga, tai chi Michael McCormack | The Clackamas Print In the year 2000, a $47 million bond was issued to Clackamas for construction on campus, and five years later the campus has six new buildings and three newly remod eled ones. The last building to experience a makeover is Randall Hall, which has served as a home for numer ous health, music and athletics- related courses. But with the new Niemeyer building on campus, the music department can finally have their own space, which in turn gives the Health/PE department more room for luxury. The first order of business in Randall was the construction of a new dance room, which knocked out a music area that once extend ed throughout much of the top floor in the building. In addition, two new classrooms were created for Health and PE lab areas. Also upstairs, a storage space was transformed into part-time faculty offices and R-222 was expanded for more space and big ger classrooms. “Our thinking was that if we could increase the size of class rooms, we could increase the over all class sizes,” Athletic Director Jim Jackson said. PJ. Martineau, athletic advi sor for student-athletes, has a new home in Randall as well. Her office is upstairs and contains computers for student use when she is Res ent. The bottom floor of the building is getting a face-lift that will bene fit all students and staff on campus, especially student-athletes. An old conference room has been extended and will now serve as a women’s team locker room, fully equipped with 60 new lockers and a space that the lady athletes here have never experi enced. In June, construction of the training room will take place and it will no longer be divided by central issue and athletic offices. The walls that exist now will be knocked out and new windows will be put up for visibility into the hallway. Also in June, a state-of-the-art weight room will be built and increased to five times the size of the existing workout area. The classrooms that once existed next to the weight room will be knocked out, in addition to faculty offices. “With it opening up like thaf more classes will take place, and our athletes can fit a weight-train ing class into their schedule,” Track Coach Keoni McHone said. Another big stepping stone for the weight room is that the school wants to get up-to-date with the American Disabilities Act that was established back in the early ’90s by George Bush, Sr. With construction conforming to the ADA, there will be trouble-free wheelchair access, which allows disabled students on campus the opportunity to work out. “We will be getting special ized equipment for the disabled students on campus,” Jackson said. “We want them to feel welcome in using the weight room here at Clackamas.” The only construction that has happened on the main floor of the building is new faculty offices that once were placed on the bottom level; the gym and the commons will remain the same. Gordon Hoffman heads the con struction crew that has been work ing on this project and according to Jackson.he is very pleased with the work they have done. Hoffman and his crew did the remodeling of the Community Center earlier this year. What once was a building with insufficient resources has turned into a great opportunity for all Clackamas goers. “Any time you can add on for the betterment of the college is great,” Jackson said. “The classes are bigger now and can hold more students, which is always a positive.” Sám Krause Clarion 10 high schools struggle against the clock to diagnose cure their ailing autos.
