Cougars triumphant

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.

that. If they’d do that way
more, I think you’d have a

more contributors,” Fawver
said. “I think I’d like to con
tribute to it myself.”

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.
Flippo can be reached for
information at 503-657-6958,
ext. 2255, and by email at
iflipp@clackamas.edu.
