2 News Clackamas Prini Wednesday, April 19, 2006 Cougars triumphant Continued from HIGH FIVE, Page 1 Faligowski also said that the show hasn’t had too much trouble getting support from the local schools, but there is always the matter of funding its production. “We’re going for our 14th [season, but] our biggest chal lenge every year is to find funding,” Faligowski said. “Since we’ve moved to OPB, we can’t do any ‘advertising,’ but we can do ‘funding’ ... you know, ‘this program pro vided by a contribution by so and so,’ so we’re, learning the ropes on that. We can never have enough money to pay for the production, but we’re learning as we go.” Faligowski may see more support soon however, as more and more of the show’s con testants are turning into sup portive fans ... including The Skipper himself. “I think more of the com munity college editions would be nice ... just like ‘Jeopardy’ has the college student editions and stuff like that. If they’d do that way more, I think you’d have a broader base of viewers and more contributors,” Fawver said. “I think I’d like to con tribute to it myself.” College asks questions, gets answers in forum He said he likes the open, ere- ative, flexible atmosphere. “Also,” he said, “the clients I Ron Stewart, the second candi serve [currently] have to come [to date, is currently school]; they’re director of busi required by law. ness services for Here they choose the Oregon City “ to come ... they school district and cam pay you to be able chief financial to come here.” officer of Oregon puses Bove college City. atmosphere campuses,” he “I want to talk said, “that atmo- to people and lis spirit sphere and spirit ten to people,” he of people of people com said, “and find out ing here to learn. what yóur needs I like the idea of are.

Megan Koler The Clackamas Print Epsilon Tau Alpha, the Clackamas chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association’s Lambda Alpha Epsilon national fraternity, com peted and placed at the fra ternity’s national conference in Chicago, Illinois last month. “I’m really proud of the entire group that I took,” said Corrections and Criminal Justice Instructor, Ida Flippo. “They represented CCC and the state of Oregon well.” The Clackamas group had students participating in each competition. “Greg Willis shot with two professionals from California and they were second in team firearms competition,” Flippo said. “Rachel Westlund was second in Police Administration knowledge and received a $400 scholarship.” The competition includ ed written exams and tests in physical agility; firearm training and crime scene investigation. There were even opportunities for advisors to compete. “We competed only against [fellow advisors] and people who were already employed in the field of criminal justice,” said Flippo. Flippo won second place in juvenile justice knowledge and third place in corrections knowl edge. , ' The conference was also an opportunity for students to look beyond graduation. “The job fair is valuable for students who might be graduat ing and looking for a position with agencies outside of our state,” said-Flippo. Flippo believes attending these conferences is important. The sense of working as a team, she feels, is important in the field of Criminal Justice. “There are some very knowl edgeable people who belong to the Association, and it is good for students to meet them, as well as meet other students from all across the country,” said Flippo. This year the group had a free day to sightsee throughout Chicago. “We took a train to down town Chicago and went to the Sears Tower, and then we went to dinner,” explained Flippo. “Last year the competition was in Memphis, so we went to Graceland.” Epsilon Tau Alpha posted pictures of their adventures in Chicago on their website (http:// geocities.com/epsilontaual- pha/). The website even includes a link to their MySpace page. Their next regional compe tition takes place in October and will include a tour of San Quentin Prison. The Clackamas chapter will be hosting a regional competition which will include participants from all over the Pacific Northwest, California and Nevada. “The more people who have actually attended prior confer ences, the more experience we will have in how to organize a great conference,” said Flippo.
