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

Sarah Ross discuss produce with potental customers.
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
