AGRICULTURE: Classroom to plate
C ontinued fro m P a g e 1
Like everything grown, the
horticulture classes cycle with
the seasons. The college Farmer’s
Market begins during summer
term when some of the spring
plantings are ready to be harvest
ed from the campus’ greenhouses
and its %-acre garden site.
Jessica McNamara, a student
in the Fall Food Harvest class,
thinks the horticulture depart
ment in Clairmont Hall is a beau
tiful place to walk through.
¿‘It’s like its own little world
over here,” McNamara said. The
rare flowers and trees growing
around the building certainly give
credence to her sentiment.

Jess
McNaughton adds her voice to
the growing list of reasons why
people need to keep an eye on
Clackamas’ horticulture program.
“They have plant sales, rough
ly quarterly, where you can buy
flowers — cheap,” McNaughton
said.
Mills encourages people to
follow the CCC horticulture
program, and see what is grow
ing from their love of all things
planted.
“Check out our Facebook
page, Horticulture at Clackamas
Community College,” said Mills.
“There is some great stuff out
there.”
Although the fall term
Farmer’s Market ended Oct. 25,
look for its return in the coming
summer as CCC students con
tinue to hone organic farming
methods that will survive past the
fields of the college.
When asked how to get the
word out to students interested
in agriculture, Jessica McNamara
suggests they stop by Clairmont
Hall.
“The college’s Horticulture
Club meets Mondays at noon,”
McNamara said.
And, of course, students are
always encouraged to take a hor
ticulture course.

Fall back on safety
Erin Carey
News Editor
As fall starts to set in, the
days are characteristically short
er and quite a bit colder than
just a few months ago. On Nov.
3 we’ll hit Daylight Savings,
meaning it’s time to “fall back”
an hour. Clackamas Community
'CblTegeT' Director o f Public
Safety Suzy Isham offers these
tips for the shift in time, to keep
us all safer as we move away
from summer.
1: Slow down! The roads are
well known for being slicker
during this time of year, due to
the added leaves on the ground
and all the oil coming to the
surface with the rain. By driving
slower you’ll increase your stop
ping distance, making it much
safer for the students and staff
on campus and decrease your
chances o f sliding and crashing.
2:, Don’t forget to keep your
car and valuables safe while on
campus, along with yourself.
Because it’ll be getting darker
much sooner, the lights will be
turned on much earlier to keep
the parking lots safe. Please do
not walk alone after dark if you
don’t have to. Campus Safety
conducts walk outs if you don’t
have anyone to walk with. Call
971-563-0101 and they will be
happy to walk you to your vehi
cle. Also, always lock your vehi-
cle and keep your electronics
and other highly valuables out of
sight when they’re unattended.

3: Wear the right shoes. The
outside ground on CCC is often
uneven and covered in leaves,
making it easy to trip and fall
if your shoes are inappropriate.
Please always wipe your feet
when you walk into a build
ing, because wet floors are often
an ongoing problem during the
wet months. By properly wiping
your feet, you help the entire
community avoid hazardous
falling situations on already slick
floors.
