In the last few years, we have seen the building of the Niemeyer Center and the remod eling of McLoughlin Hall, but the work on the new addition to the Harmony Campus will be one of the most important builds in Clackamas history. Construction on the three- story building will bring about a difference for Clackamas’ English as a Second Language (ESL) and health sciences pro grams. The building, which is scheduled for a July dead line, will be the new home of both growing departments at Harmony. “Structural steel is being erected,” said Director of Plant Services Kirk Pearson. The frame of the building will soon be complete, and then work on the steel flooring on the second and third floors will commence. “We’re on schedule,” said Pearsori. “Next summer, mid July, is when we are shooting for.” The new facility will house the ESL and a bookstore on the first, floor, and the top two floors will be the new resi ing nurse is 53 years old, so we dence of the health sciences are going to have a lot of retir program. ing nurses,” said Mitchell.

The level of legal marijuana traffic was considered a potential risk to the city’s permitting system. “So many people were coming in and out of the building that they had to shut them down because of the fear that it would look like the city was supporting illegal drugs,” he added. According to Bemhoft, Voter Power is less than pleased with the city of Salem and, as a result, are bringing cameras to the forum “They’re going to be filming it and putting it on television. It’s going to be pretty big,” he said. The Democratic Club believes that individuals should have the right to use marijuana responsibly. ‘To really legitimize the pro-mar ijuana movement, you have to have a responsible approach to it,” Bemhoft said. “It’s every person’s responsibil ity to ask themselves, ‘How does this affect other people?”’ The Democratic Club stresses that if the legalization of marijuana means something to someone, then he or she must do something about it “Know your rights, and if it’s not important to you, then leave it that way,” Bemhoft said. “But if it’s important to you - like it is to a lot of people - activism, activist activism.
