Welcome to a new school year, and a new The Clackamas Print! With a crew made of old and new, a
spanking new redesign, and a lot of inspired editors, we thought wed take a minute to introduce the
editors in chief of this 2014-15 operation; Erin Carey and Zak Laster. We promise to keep the students
and staff updated with the college’s upcoming events.
Journalism Adviser:
Hi, Pm Erin Carey, I wanted to become chief editor because The Print has been the one place that I ve
found so many of my friends. Journalism has been a passion of mine since my grandma would sit
me down with a copy of The Oregonian and tell me to read it, so I could tell her everything later. Pm
known as the sassier part of this team, and I always have the mouth to prove i t I’m adept at bad jokes
and baked goods, and I’m clueless about sports. My aim this year is to share my love of working at this
paper with anyone who joins, with the hopes that
they create the types of friendships that I have by
walking through the door.

Hi, Pm Zak Laster, I’m a HUGE sports fen. Work
ing on The Print has given me the opportunity
to be able to cover Blazers games and experience
what sports journalism is all about; ultimately, that
is what I want to do with my life. I’ve always been
the sports nerd who watches ESPN all the time,
and reads every newspaper sports page and Sports
Illustrated. If you need to know a sports fact or
win a trivia contest with your friend, I’m the one
to call. I’m a huge Oregon Ducks fen and Pm
always trying to get to as many games as possible.
To be able to go to games and get paid for it is my
dream.
This year we aim to keep the students at CCC
informed of what matters to them, news of bond
measures and tuition raises; information about
all the plays and the best places to eat, and sports
with all the team’s activities events and health tips.
Stay tuned for a great year with us!
Sincerely, Erin Carey and Zak Laster
