Police and campus security came head to head in multiple battles with the werewolves, and sadly, on one occasion the werewolf won. John Mark, the man who was once head of campus security for CCC had lost a battle with one. Mark had been trying to save a seemingly brave student who was wandering aimlessly through the campus in hopes of finding a beast to capture a photo of, aspiring to be published in the college’s newspaper, The Clackamas Print. Luckily the student survived, though his camera suffered the same fate as Mark. “Their teeth sharper than ever and having to watch that horrible scene take place right in front of me was a nightmare,” said Allen.

The Oregon City Police Department is asking all college students and faculty to steer clear of the college until farther information on their findings a rise. As there are-no leads at-this time, if you have any information on whom these creatures are by day please contact the OCPD-' “We are taking this investigation seriously, and at this time are just doing the very best we can to keep the community safe,” said Officer Blain Brooks.

ChristopherTaylor Arts & Culture Editor Since late last week, reports have been flying in about a hor rifying new creature living in the Willamette River. Fish, counts are dropping; boats have been capsized by random waves and strange underwater currents. The beasts shadow has been seen by a handful of people, but a few ¿U 1 Id I l i C m porzantiy ogmze it. It’s official. The Loch Ness Monster has moved to Oregon, and made its home in the Willamette River, which has caused quite the stir around town. “I was out sailing on the river last night, having a nice, quiet party on my boat with some friends when the boat suddenly capsized,” said local teen Robert Bruce. “I was in a complete state of shock, but you can imagine my horror when I saw THE Loch Ness Monster swimming just past us. I nearly fainted.” Rumor has it that Nessie - as she’s dearly referred to by believers - has moved here for the abundance of fish, and a nice place to hide in. “It makes sense that she might come here,” said a local Sasquatch from Molalla. “It’s a place for the weird to feel welcome and at home. I know I do, and I’m sure she does too.” It would seem so, seeing as in Scotland, people bother her all day, simply waiting for her to show herself so they can stake their claim and become famous. Talk about pressure. “Take it from someone who’s been hunted for many years. It gets tiresome try ing to hide, when all yc want do is live free, you know?” 1 continued the Sasquatch. Regardless, P o rtla n d M ayor ■ Sam Adams says he will have none of her antics in his city. “We’re trying to figure out how to deal with the issue at hand as best we can,” said Adams. “We’re looking into how it got here, and if possible, how to get it back to where it came from.” The Clackamas Print aims to report the news in an honest, unbiased and professional manner.

Fishermen have been warned to evacuate their boats and move to shore to stay out o f her way. Many animal rights activists, as well as Portland’s residents, have demanded that Adams leave Nessie alone. “She* has every right to be here,” said PETA member James Douglas. “We as humans have encroached on these creatures’ space, and have forced them into hiding. There aren’t many places for them left to hide, so why can’t we share?” It would seem an interesting proposition, sure to bring tourists. But what about the fish? Nessie requires a lot of feeding, and that means a lot of fish. “I don’t think we have the means to keep her fed for very long,” said local Oregon salm on fisherman Davey Jones. ‘We have enough fish to . feed ourselves, with all the laws in place, sure. But Nessie? She won’t pay attention to the law. We’ll be dry up in a week or two.” So it would seem a dilemma is afoot - let Nessie stay and pos sibly eat up our fish supply, which would more than likely cause her to move on? Or, do we find a way to send her back to where she came from? There will be a meeting held at Pioneer Square at noon on Saturday, Nov. 3 to determine Nessie’s fate. “I can only hope they’ll be fair to her,” said Bruce. “I’d hate to see her mistreated, whatever the outcome may be.” It would seem apt, considering that—as far as we know - Nessie is the last of her kind. So whatever the end result, we Editor: Chnstopher Taylor Associate: Luke Frank ’* aced@clackamas.edu . H Editor: Andrew Millbrooke should try to preserve her for as long as possible. It’d be a shame to lose such an iconic monster as Nessie. * Associate: David Beasley sportsed@clackamas.edu "" '' Editor: Steven Weldon Associate: Brittany Beil ” copyed@c/acfc3mas.edu Photo Editor: Brad Heineke Associate: Brian Steele photoed@Clackamas.edu I Production Manager: James Duncan webeditor@clackamas.edu Ad Manager Caylee Miller admgr@clackamas.edu WRITERS 8t PHOTOGRAPHERS , Breanna Graine Hannah Duckworth Kelli Luke Heather Mills ; .
