4 The Clackamas Print Fea Break-ins can be prevented by simply locking the According to the Clackamas Community College public safety department, the number of vehi cle break-ins on campus has been decreasing in the past few years. Statistically speaking, a student, his or her possessions and vehicle are safer on campus than in the neighboring communities of West Linn and Oregon City. There are more officers per student at the college than in the community per resident. The public safety department reports directly to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office for all break-in investigations and prose cutions. However, more can always be done to protect property. Never leave any valuables visible; lock them in the trunk. Remove detachable-faced stereos. If broken into, report the disabled vehicle plate num ber, make/model and color.

Honegger and Lewis run the Wild Horse Herbs and Produce booth. Both women are full of smiles while they talk about their farm, Hidden Hill Farm, which is considerably close to the market. “I live in the Redland area, and it is very appealing being only 20 minutes away,” Honegger said. “We like to be as sustainable as possible. It takes less gas to get here and back home.” Honegger grows multiple variet ies of lettuce in her greenhouse and sells them in biodegradable bags. She also raises approximately 60 chickens - the eggs are sold at the market. “I think lettuce is interesting,” she said. “I am a vegetarian, so I consid er myself an expert on the topic. The cold weather has actually helped my crop this year. It retarded the lettuce and kept it at the high-quality baby greens stage. If there is any time to overdose on lettuce, it is now.” The weather hasn’t been such a help to first-time vendor Sarah Ross and her husband Jeremy Johnson. “It’s been so cold that the beans haven’t germinated yet,” Ross said. Ross has worked on a farm for 11 years and met her husband on an organic farm about five years ago. “For us, it is a lifestyle choice,” she said. “We know we aren’t going to make a lot of money. We raise just enough to eat and sell some. But it’s important to eat locally.” Many sellers cite sustainability as a primary reason for participating in the market. “The Farmers Market is great because it provides a place to get local food,” Ross said. “We are up against huge federalized manufac tures, and it is good to have forums that encourage people to eat local and healthier.” The Oregon City Farmers Market is open every Saturday, May through October, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Other local farmers near Oregon C Estacada Estacada Farmers Market Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May through October 3rd and Broadway Street I Debra Button, 503-630-44! bufton@cascadeaccess.coir http://www.estacadafarmersra PO Box 1704, Estacada, 0 Milwaukie Milwaukie Sunday Farmer Sundays, 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.i Mid May through October SE Main across from City Brendan Eiswerth, 503-40' brendan@milwaukiefarmer! www.milwaukiefarmersnia 11009 SE 28th Ave. Milwaukie, OR, 97222 Oregon Trail Food Stamp) Canby Canby Saturday Market Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mid May through mid Octi 1st Avenue at Holly Street Elaine Fawcett, 503-263-5 canbysaturdaymarket@car PO Box 386, Canby, OR,!
