May 17, 2006 Volume 39, Issue 20 Cougars shine at Mt. Hood, accident brings paramedics Jeff Sorensen Matt Olson The Clackamas Print Last weekend’s, track event at MHCC, the ’06 NWAACC Southern Region Meet, high lighted many athletes and pre pared the Clackamas team for Monday and Tuesday’s region al championship. “I think after this last week end, everyone’s on track,” said Coach Keoni McHone. Clackamas secured many top three spots in both men’s and women’s events and according to McHone, the team is ready for their next and final hurdle: regionals. .“[We] didn’t watch what others were doing, we just went out and took care of busi ness,” commented McHone. A couple of Clackamas athletes took center stage at MHCC on Saturday and Sunday. Rhys Perkins placed first in men’s hammer and men’s shot put, with personal lifetime records. “Men’s hammer is really tight” said McHone about the very close placings of the NWAACC athletes. Freshmen Jeeni Schantin placed second in women’s javelin, and holds the second longest javelin throw record for CCC. Schantin, who’s only been training for a term, was nationally ranked in high school and promises to only get better. Trevor Snook placed first in the 800-meter, retaining his title from last year. Snook was ranked eighth before last year’s regional, but came out of nowhere and placed first to become the champion. Snook was also an Academic All- American. Recently injured Mike Simmons came off of injury this weekend to throw the best javelin series of his career. “With his confidence after that, he’ll do well at the cham pionships,” said McHone. “The athletes we have are all talented, but we need more horses,” said McHone. With good personal per formances all around, this year’s small team will limit Clackamas’ overall ranking against much larger schools.

Hood shot put thrower Rachel Marchant is tended to by paramedics after being struck in the head by a nine-pound shot put. “Our athletes do a good job of peaking mentally and physi cally,” explained McHone of his team’s performance. “Because they want to do it, and we create that environ ment, they come around at the right time.” Not all had it as good as Clackamas however. Rachel Marchant of Mt. Hood CC needed four stitches after she was hit in the head with a shot put during warm-ups. Marchant was stepping out to the pit to retrieve her prac tice throw when she was struck on the left side of her head by a nine-pound lead shot put thrown by Lane CC competitor Sharlene Moody. “I just got finished telling them not five seconds before ... you always stay behind the shot,” said USA Track and Field Official Elahi Bradley- Muhammad. “It was a glancing blow; She was very lucky.” Please see TRACK, Page 7 Summer renovations to aid departments, disabled Megan Koler Tfe Clackamas Print Summer improvements around campus promise easier access for disabled'students, more advanced facilities for the automotive depart ment and additional space for the campus bookstore. Heading the improvements this summer is Director of Plant Operations Kirk Pearson. “The paving is exceeding 30 years and much of it needs to be replaced,” explained Pearson. “This will be the first phase in many improvements.” The bulk of the improvements being made this summer will involve adding more disabled parking stalls, making and improving existing side walk, and creating more crosswalks across interior service roads. “Right now, the campus is fairly accessible from Randall Hall and Niemeyer, but there is not any com pliant access for disabled people around Barlow and the east side of campus,” said Pearson. The Randall woods between the Art Center and Randall will be com pletely transformed. New paths and existed paths will now be paved with a pervious pave ment that will allow rainwater to seep through to the soil beneath. It reduces runoff and has been shown to relieve the cost of storm water drainage and retention areas. “We will also be constructing a few picnic areas in the woods that are [Americans with Disabilities Act] accessible,” said Pearson. The area between the Community Center, Barlow Hall and McLoughlin Hall will have a number of trees removed and its exposed aggregate surface replaced with flat concrete. The area around the Pauling Center will also have all of its paths paved, but instead of removing the cherry frees in the courtyard, they will have a special pavement laid over them that will gradually rise from the root growth instead- of cracking.
