Community
College officials last week starts
ed collecting the broken hand
sanitizer machines sprinkled
around campus after The Print
started asking questions about
why so few seemed to be work
ing.
With cold and flu season
upon us, between 10 percent
and 20 percent of people in the
United States will get sick with
a flu virus, according to the
Oregon Health Authority. One
of the best ways to prevent the
spread of illness is careful hand
washing, health experts advise.
But part-way through the
cold and flu season, Clackamas
Community College students,
faculty members and visitors
cannot reliably use the hand
sanitizer at sanitizing stations
available around campus.
That’s because, while the
hand sanitizer stations in various
buildings often appear filled,
many haven’t been working.
Last Friday, a custodian col
lected several of the machines,
tossing them into a bin labeled
“trash.” But she said she was
taking them to be fixed.
Andrew Vasquez, custodial
manager at CCC, said the hand
sanitizer machines were put on
campus last year.
“We liked this current sys
tem because they are on stands
and very visible,” said Vasquez,
adding that the previous units
used to be mounted to walls.
“But the problem is they break
down often.”
Many students, such as fresh
man Tim Berry, realized quickly
that the sanitizers are pretty
fickle.
“The one I usually use in the
Neimeyer building works, but I
don’t think any other one I’ve
come across does,” said Barry
when asked if he’s noticed the
problem.
Hand sanitizing is a big part
of staying healthy.
“We think they are very
important to have and when
they work they got a lot of
use,” said Vasquez. “So now it’s
about finding something that
works. We’re in the process
of deciding whether or not we
should just take them out all
together but it is clear there is a
need for them.”
While they are being
replaced, be sure to keep your
self and everyone around you
healthy by washing your hands
thouroughly and often. Also,
be on the lookout for working
sanitation stations that are more
stable and accessible than those
of the past.
Best local bars for watching sports

Cold beer and sports have
always gone together and
always make for a great time
hanging out with friends.
With Portland’s great bar cul
ture, it’s no surprise there are
lots of good bars to be found
even out in the suburbs. Here
are some good options clos
er to Clackamas Community
College to take in a game and
have a few drinks:
Highland Stillhouse- 201
S. 2nd St. Oregon City
While not a sports bar,
Scottish style pub Stillhouse
is the premier site for Oregon
City
Timbers
supporters
to watch their team’s away
games. While not packed with
TVs like the other bars on this
list, the pub features comfort
able seating with a large out
door area, They feature tradi
tional Scottish dishes on their
menu but pride themselves in
having the largest selection on
Scotch whisky in the Portland
area.
Trying a new Scotch is easy
at Stillhcruse, it’s deciding on
which to try that’s difficult.
The spirits menu goes on for
pages and is separated by
region. Having over 500 whis
keys to try makes every visit
a unique drinking experience.
Knowledgeable bartenders can
mix drinks with other spirits
or serve you a cold beer, but
Still House is really all about
Scotch.
“I love picking out whis
keys from the list,’ said patron
James Davis. “There are too
many options.”
Hot Seat Sports Bar:
18791 S.W. Martinazzi Ave,
Tualatin
Wilsonville campus goers
looking for a Buffalo Wild
Wings alternative should look
no further than the Hot Seat
in Tualatin. A large, loud bar
with more television screens
than is worth counting make
for a fun party atmosphere.
“Oh yeah, it gets really
crazy here on the weekends,”
said waitress Wendy Espinosa.
“There are a lot of people here
for Ducks games especially.”
Hot Seat has a menu full of
popular greasy staples such as
pizza, burgers and wings. The
beer selection isn’t the best
but the atmosphere is exciting.
While a sports bar and restau
rant by day, Hot Seat ups the
music volume weekend nights
and features DJs taking on an
almost dance club vibe. The
restaurant remains open and
the TVs still show the game so
even patrons less interested in
dancing can feel comfortable.
Hot Seat gives sports fans a
view from the stands without
the expense or travel of going
to a game.
