2 ft Wednesday, Febuary 12,2014 DEGREE: Program helps focus studies Continued from Page 1 The difference is th a t the’ d ep artm en t faculty is w orking directly w ith studen ts as advis ers and w ith th e colleges to m ake sure students have an easy transition into a four-year col lege so they can be accepted as a definite junior status. Faculty will be w orking to tailo r fit the AS in English degree to each of th e four schools. T revor Dodge, E nglish instructor, explained th e p u r pose of th e degree is also differ en t because it will be asking stu dents upfront w h at college they w an t to tran sfer to and w h at they w an t to study w hen they get there. The hope is for stu d en ts to tak e th e ir g eneral education classes b u t also s ta rt th e ir way into an English m ajor and unof ficially declare th eir m ajor while a t CCC. "We will n o t only be teaching th e courses," said Dodge. "But in a lo t of ways w e will be m en to r ing th ese stu d en ts and advising th e students." This AS degree in English is also one of d ie first to have a comic studies degree in th e country. "There is a big p a rt of th e indie publishing scene h ere in Portland," said Dodge. “Outside of New York City, P ortland really is th e second m agnet for com ics." Mach said th a t they are w ork ing closely w ith U of 0 to tran sfer stu d en ts into th eir comic minor. "People in th e comic industry [are] very interested in su p p o rt ing th e field of comic studies," said Mach. "We are w orking w ith people from D ark H orse Comics and Top Shelf Comics and som e in d e p e n d e n t p u b lish ers. It's exciting.” W hile th e w hole English d ep artm en t has been w orking on th eir ow n tim e Mach believes th a t th is process of creating th e degree has "galvanized" th e departm ent. The AS in English will offi cially be in th e CCC catalogue starting Fall 2014.

A ccording to the C D C ’s “State indicator report on fruits and vegetables for 2013,” Oregon is listed in the top three states whose adult population consumes fruits and vegetables, an average o f more than 1.8 times per day. One reason is accredited to the fact that farm er’s markets accept nutrition assistance program s benefits. And food isn’t the only item that can be found at Oregon City’s market. The market offers its patrons an array o f entertain ment, education opportunities and hand-made goods. Jeff Becker, farm er’s market board president, stresses the com munity building aspect o f the Oregon City Farm er’s Market. “We have school choir and dance groups who will perform during market,” Becker said. Becker is in charge o f booking the live music that plays at each market. On average there are. 40 markets a year, with 60 appli cants each year, he said. M aster gardeners from the Oregon State University exten sion service hold “ 10 minute uni versities” in the spring, where adults can get demonstrations on canning and growing. Some vendors, like Carl Herndon, have been selling hand made goods at the market for the last three years. Mr. Herndon crafts custom m ade cutting boards — to customer specifica tions. “I like working with wood,’* Herndon said. “I f I didn’t come down here and sell it, I’d have to keep it and I ju st don’t have that much storage space.” MIMT&kbPP aims to ¡JowsTtffln honest, ' unbiasedandprofessional | *tnanner.

In an effort to preserve the wet lands’ fish habitat and restore water quality, the college created the John Inskeep Environmental Learning Center [ELC] as an outdoor class room for environmental education. The biggest threat to the water shed — and its coho, steelhead and trout — is the stormwater run off contaminants from the near by college parking lots and city streets. Using capital grant money, Clackamas intends to revisit its proposal for the learning center to provide a stormwater management plan.
