[yk to Clackamas: Head Volleyball Coach
l^thie Woods just added former volleyballers
jxj Clackamas alumni Lindsay Schiely and
tfchelle Boeckman as assistant coaches.
Woods is also working on her 24th year at
^college.
Woods started out her NWAACC career at
(jun-Benton CC in 1981. She was summoned
BClackamas in 1983.
‘Clackamas offered me a full-time job,”
Woods said. “Clackamas is a great school and
las great people to work with, and I love the
philosophy of die volleyball program and the
school.”
Woods attendedDallas High School in Salem,
aad then obtained her Bachelors Degree in
physical Education and Athletic Administration
sod her Masters in Education at OSU. She got
her volleyball start in school.
“I played in high school and in college,”
(foods said. “I like all sports, but volleyball
he most I love team sports, so I got stuck with
volleyball.”
Woods has led her team to two NWAACC
fc one in 1996 and another in 2004. She has
been elected NWAACC coach of the year three
lines and Southern Region coach of the year
fair times. In 24 years, she has amassed a win
ing record of495-148, compiling a 77 percent
sinning average.
Woods has many favorite moments at
Mamas, but cites winning her first NWAACC
tie as her favorite.
Taking a number of different Clackamas
teams to the NWAACC tournament has also
been a great joy for Woods.
“We’ve been in the championship four times
in the past 10 yealfc, so it’s really exciting putting
it together and vratching it last”
As a coach and instructor, Woods has always
driven her athletes to excel not only on the vol
leyball court, but in school and life.
Woods also wrote a book called ‘The Honor
of Coaching,’ which she said deals with basic
philosophy regarding why people coach, moti
vation, goal-setting and teamwork
Coming back to attack the NWAACC as a
head assistant coach is former player Schiely,
who graduated from Eastern New Mexico
University last May.
Hailing from Troutdale’s Reynolds High
School, Schiely went from CCC to Eastern
New Mexico. She was also selected by ESPN
The Magazine’s All-Academic team as a sopho
more.
Call it sort of a homecoming for Schiely.
‘T love it I’m so glad I can come back and
coach with Kathie,” Schiely said. “She’s such a
great person and someone who I want to look at
as my mentor in coaching.
“I was thinking about going to grad school,
but I always wanted to come back and coach
with Kathie... I’m glad to be back.”
Schiely was part of the 2003 team that took
second at the NWAACC championships.
Schiely describes Clackamas as the perfect
place to start a coaching career because she
knows the deal here.
“Kathie is so awesome ... she has so much
experience and is so highly respected in the
NWAACC,” Schiely said. “Her program is
highly regarded in a good way, and working
with her gives me an edge.”
Also donning die role of
assistant coach is Michelle
Boeckman, who played at
Canby High School and at
Clackamas with Schiely. She
also played under Woods for
two years before obtaining
her AAOT and transferring
to the University of Alaska
Anchorage, where she played
volleyball for one year. She is
now in full-coaching-effect
at Clackamas, while chasing
a degree in nursing.
Boeckman said she has
always been in contact with
Woods. And when an assis
tant spot opened at the begin
ning of this year, she took the
opportunity. Before receiving
an assistant coach role, she
did statistics for the team.
As a volleyball player and
coach, Boeckman has been
around the sport for a while
and said a Woods’ team is
always prepared.
“This program has the
most structure I’ve ever

College history hidden
in plain sight

Though in plain view, it’s
easy to miss - the college’s
15-year-old time capsule.
The
time
capsule
is
actually inside one of the
cement benches between
the Community Center and
Barlow Hall.
The bench was designed
by CCC Auto Computer-
aided Drafting 3-D students
in 1991, under the direction of
Instructor Terence Shumaker.
Shumaker suggested it to his
class in honor of the college’s
25th anniversary.
The time capsule will be
opened on the 50th anniver
sary, in accordance with the
directions on the plaque locat
ed on one end of the bench.
Kirk Pearson, the director
of plant operations on cam
pus, shared the file contain
ing original sketches of the
bench with The Clackamas
Print staff.
The drawings
were referred to as “the coffin
plan concept.”
“It was a fun project to
work on,” said Pearson.
“The decision was made to
go with an above-ground time
capsule; this way, people will
be able to see it and won’t for
get about it. Besides, it’s use-
fiil,” said drafting major David
Staton, in The Clackamas
Print on May 29, 1991.
The project was a campus
wide effort, and all depart
ments were encouraged to fill
a container to be put inside
the bench. Unfortunately, the
current staff has little knowl
edge of what went into these
containers; therefore much of
the content remains a mys
tery.
“Two of the items that were
put in were a CCC catalog
and a copy of the class sched
ule,” said Janis Rosenlof,
Executime Assistant to the
Dean of Instruction.
Linda Vogt, advisor of The
Print, recalled adding an edi
tion of the newspaper to the
capsule.
It is expected that the time
capsule will be opened in 10
years, in 2016.
13. The first foreign
student was music major
Rebecca Wong from Hong
Kong. Wong went on to
receive her Master’s Degree
in Music Performance from
the University of Victoria.

ceremony took place in the
parking jot behind Clairmont
Hall.
15. The fountain court
yard in front of the Dye
Learning
