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.

MARKET: City event offers food,
entertainment, education

Williams said, “we have fund
ing available at every year-round
farm er’s market in Oregon City.”
W IC, another supplemental
nutrition program, can also be
spent at the summer market.
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.”

Clackamas
Community College has been inti
mately involved with the Newell
Creek Watershed Wetlands, whose
headwaters start near the campus.
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.
