Currently, the Clackamas Community College women’s basketball team is 5-0 in the Southern Region standings following a pre-season where they went 10-3. As the women prepare to go deeper into the season, the question remains if they can continue their current month-long hot streak, as their last loss came Dec. 9 against Lane CC. The women have won 10 games in a row, but face some tough opponents in the coming weeks. Umpqua CC is on the horizon and they have already beat the Cougars this season.

The Cougars got a huge victory this Saturday at home, avenging that earlier defeat to Lane with a dominating second half to pull out a 77 to 64 victory.

Clackamas erased an eight-point halftime deficit with an 18 to nine run to open the second half to get right back in the game.

The Cougars then ramped up the defensive intensity, holding the Titans scoreless for five minutes as they built a 59 to 46 lead.

Clackamas made nine of 10 foul shots in the final minute to close out the win.

Clackamas shot 50 percent from the field and made 21 of 23 free throws in the second half to explode for 50 points.

Sophomore Jenny Johnson, from Tualatin, led the Cougars with a game-high 25 points.

G OT GUNS?

Students tell us what they think about gun control

“I think it’s a constitutional right that people can obtain and have possession of guns — probably the same guns as our military uses — on the offhand chance that… the military is commanded to do something that we, the people, do not approve of.

I think [the regulations] are progressing to being way too restrictive.”

College budget under scrutiny Last November, college staff had the opportunity to respond to a budget survey that yielded some candid and varied opinions. The results were made available on Jan. 10 and reflect suggestions by staff that include raising the tuition for students, trying to pass another bond and the creation of parking fees.

One comment from the survey addressed last year’s creation of a position devoted to the college’s social media specialist. The college hired Simon Tam for the position last year. The salary range for the job is $37,675 to $41,048 per year.

“You lost my support when you began hiring positions that were not absolutely necessary.

Examples of ‘not absolutely necessary’ would have included the social media specialist, plus other positions that were not grant-funded.”

This was echoed by another response.

“We wasted a bunch of money hiring non-essential staff like a social media specialist.”

The budget synopsis stated that approximately 250 people responded to the specific questions. An additional 109 offered specific suggestions.

The survey was limited to staff only.

Ideas about increasing revenue include those mentioned above as well as the pursuit of grants by the college. The synopsis also stated that the sales of underutilized assets were suggested to increase the coffers of the college. To decrease expenditures, there were comments that supported staff giving up their sabbaticals, foregoing cost of living increases and decreasing summer and holiday staffing. One comment was directed at hiring practices.

“Freeze hiring — especially administrative and non-teaching faculty.”

Some comments were concise and clear.

“Everyone should probably consider pay cuts if they want to keep their jobs.”

The following is a list of just some of the comments made by staff.

-“There is little activity on campus on Fridays. Would closing on Fridays be viable and helpful?”

-“Given talk of ‘fiscal cliffs’ and other suggestion of further economic downturn before recovery (particularly in the public sector), it seems we should take some courageous next steps to prepare for a worsening scenario. Best case scenario is this may be the new norm so we may as well adjust.”

-“It’s time to reconsider parking fees. I’d gladly pay to have a reserved spot, or a spot in a lot that doesn’t have in’s and out’s all day, is close to campus and secure.

How long can we afford to be the only campus that doesn’t charge for parking? Check with PSU; they must make mega-bucks from their parking fees.”

- “Stop hiring deans! How many deans does it take to change people’s offices around?

If power is important to this administration, go into politics. If education is a priority to this organization, hire more teachers who actually do something for students.”

-“Faculty need to accept a larger instructional load, thus accommodating more students and allowing more sections to be offered. Our business is about delivering instruction, so let’s quit catering to ourselves and cut the budget in the bargain. This term we’ve been shown that just having enough students doesn’t mean a class can be run. As well, we absolutely also need to raise fees/tuition. The combination of these two things could help immensely.”

-“There seems to be a lot of money thrown at ‘reinventing the wheel’. How much was spent to redesign the web site? Have you noticed that it is full of inaccurate information? Do you know how many hours the admins spent reviewing all the department pages, editing them and then submitting that information to the web shepherd? And still the edits are not reflected on the web pages.”

The January message from college president Joanne Truesdell was emailed to all staff the next day and mentioned the current budget situation.

“Over the next 10 weeks, as an institution we must address a $2.5 million budget gap,” Truesdell stated.

Just kidding!

Not your girl! Sorry.

Sports Opinion Andrew Millbrooke

Sports Editor

Continued from Page 1

Andrew Millbrooke The Clackamas Print

Freshman Lacy Effenberger, from Ketchikan, Alaska, added 17 points and four assists.

Freshman Tori Wilkinson, from Eugene, played a great all around game, tallying eight points, eight rebounds and four steals.

Jordin and Megan Feldman, 6-foot 1-inch sophomore twins from Estacada, are the two main posts on the team and both expressed that Lane was a challenging opponent. When asked why they felt like they lost to Lane in the preseason Jordin said, “We just mentally broke down.”

However, Clackamas had several injured players in the preseason and as the season progresses the injured players are coming back into the fold.

Co-head coach Jim Martineau stated that there is some getting used to the new players. Megan Feldman had a similar sentiment about the returning girls.

“We must work hard in building the team,” said Megan.

Jordin and Megan also stated that the returning girls will allow for other players to have more rest and will produce a team that is less likely to have difficulties with fatigue.

When asked what has contributed to their success so far, Jordin Feldman stated that “positivity and communication” were the main factors.

“The season has gone how it was supposed to go,” said Martineau. “I am pretty happy with where we are at.” Martineau also expressed what he hopes the team improves on as the season progresses.

“I think our playing together on the floor,” said Martineau.

“Offensively we’ve been incon-

sistent and we tend to score more points at home than at away games.”

The CCC women soared over Linn-Benton CC on Saturday, Jan. 12 at home. Minutes into the game Clackamas was ahead 17 to 2, displaying a quick and ferocious defense to forge the early lead. The Cougars went on to a 43 to 27 halftime lead, before closing out the win, 73 to 61.

With the new players com-

ing back, there is hope that the Cougars will beat both the teams they lost to in the pre-season. One of those injured players recently back in action is freshman guard Effenberger, who scored 20 points, making six three-pointers in the win against Linn-Benton.

Megan Feldman added 16 points, while her sister Jordin grabbed seven rebounds in the win. Sophomore Ashleigh Anderson added nine points, six

assists and six rebounds.

Wilkinson grabbed a team-high eight rebounds.

Overall, the women’s basketball team has been succeeding.

Hopes are high and as the opponents get tougher the women’s basketball team will have to dig deeper to stay atop the Southern Region standings.

Men’s basketball strives for wins Andrew Millbrooke Sports Editor The Clackamas Community College men’s basketball team is struggling to right the ship with six losses in its last seven games.

The Cougars (9-10, 1-4) are tied for seventh in the Southern Division, but only one game out of fourth place as three teams are tied at 2-3. The Cougars must

finish in the top four to make the NWAACC tournament for the 14th consecutive season.

Lane 87, Clackamas 80, OT - Last Saturday, the Cougars stormed back from 24 points down in the second half against Lane CC to force overtime, but fell 87 to 80 as the Titans controlled the extra period.

6-foot 3-inch freshman Keynan Middleton led the Titans with game-highs of 22 points, 10 rebounds and six steals.

Middleton put down some nice

breakaway dunks after a couple of his steals. Clackamas was led by freshman Grant Sitton, from Vancouver, Wash., with 18 points. Freshman Michone Hopkins added 17 points, seven rebounds and five assists for the Cougars.

Clackamas 71, Mt. Hood 69 – The Cougars pulled out a close win over the Saints in Gresham last Wednesday by making seven of 15 three-pointers in the second half. Freshman Michone Hopkins led the Cougars with 16 points

and six rebounds.

Linn-Benton 73, Clackamas 72 – Freshman Sam Stafford hit a driving, twisting layup with 0.7 seconds remaining to lift the Roadrunners over the Cougars on Saturday, Jan. 12 at Randall Gym. “Clackamas has a very good team,” said Linn Benton head coach Randy Falk. “This is a strong win for us against a very good program.”

It should have been a slow week in sports, with everybody discussing the weekend’s conference championship games in the NFL or the NBA All-Star starting rosters that were released, but it wasn’t meant to be. First, cyclist Lance Armstrong came out, finally admitting to years of doping, followed by Oregon head football coach Chip Kelly reversing course and flying the coop to more notoriety and money in Philadelphia.

But all of that was nothing, compared to the bombshell dropped by Deadspin. com about Notre Dame star linebacker and Heisman finalist Manti Te’o. Te’o was duped into a three-year online relationship with a fictitious woman, Lennay Kukua.

I guess the sports world is ready to join the conversation on mental health that is sweeping the nation after the recent tragic shooting events. This story ranks right up there with the best Jerry Springer episode, sick and twisted to the core.

‘Lennay’ eventually ‘died’ from Leukemia, supposedly the same day as Te’o’s beloved grandmother. Te’o perpetuated this myth in numerous interviews with CBS, Sports Illustrated and others for over a month all the way through the BCS title game on Jan. 7.

Te’o learned that the woman did not exist sometime in December. How much he knew and when he knew it are still questions to be answered. There are all kinds of rumors swirling about his motives.

A friend of Manti’s, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, is the perpetrator of the scam and has apologized to Te’o. He made the fake online profile of Lennay Kukua and duped his friend with the help of two cousins. All of the details of how that went down have not been reported. Ronaiah Tuiasosopo is reportedly in hiding and has not spoken to anybody, except for the apology call to Te’o.

Te’o has continued to claim that he was the victim of a hoax, but many people are questioning the timeline of events. Lying to the public for over a month will put some doubt in people’s minds. Te’o has made only one interview, with ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap, since this news broke and he was in control of the content and questions.

Did this affect Te’o’s mindset and performance in his preparation for the BCS championship game against Alabama, where he was a virtual no-show in the Crimson Tide’s 42 to 14 shellacking of Notre Dame?

I’m thinking he wasn’t fully focused on the game.

How this affects Te’o’s chances to play in the NFL is yet to be seen, but obviously there are red flags about his character, honesty and sanity before even looking at his athletic ability.

I expect this story to continue to evolve and I have no idea what it will produce. Only time will tell, or maybe Ronaiah Tuiasosopo.

Wrestlers struggle with North Idaho Andrew Millbrooke Sports Editor

Andrew Millbrooke The Clackamas Print

The No. 3 ranked Clackamas Community College wrestling team is working its way back from injuries and illness as it looks forward to hosting the Region 18 championships on Feb. 9.

In the most recent matches, Clackamas defeated Highline CC and Southwestern Oregon CC before losing to national No. 1 ranked North Idaho College of Coeur d’Alene last Saturday at Randall gym.

The Cougars have had a rough season as far as losing guys for one reason or another. “It’s been spotty. We had over 20 guys with the flu and six season ending injuries,” said Clackamas head coach Josh Rhoden. “It’s been a different year for us as a staff. In the past we’ve dealt with some sickness or injury but nothing of this magnitude.”

The recent match with topranked North Idaho did not come at a good time for the Cougars.

The Cardinals won the first five matches at the lower weight classes to take a commanding 21-0 lead on the Cougars.

“It’s important to get that momentum going,” said North Idaho head coach Pat Whitcomb, talking about the lower weight classes. “That is where we’re strong right now. It’s good to get those points going.” North Idaho won seven of the 10 matches overall for a final score of 27 to 13.

Rhoden said that losing those early matches makes it tougher for the wrestlers behind them. “The rest of the team has to figure out how to stop the bleeding, you know, and they put more pressure on themselves,” said Rhoden.

“It’s exciting to come in and get the blood boiling towards them,” added Whitcomb. “But, I’ve got a lot of respect for Josh and his program.”

Former Clackamas wrestler

Clackamas’ Trent Noon (right) got some revenge on No. 1 ranked Kyle Sweedman of North Idaho, who had beaten him in a 1-0 decision earlier this season. The 3-0 win solidified the Region 18 top seed and national No. 1 ranking for Noon.

and Olympic silver medalist Matt Lindland was on hand taking care of the announcing duties during the match. Lindland won the 158pound junior college national title in 1991 for the Cougars and later went on to take the Silver medal in Greco-Roman wrestling at the 2000 summer Olympics.

“Every time I’m in town, if they have a meet, I’m up here supporting the team,” said Lindland.

“Getting here and working with my alma mater is always a pleasure.”

Lindland talked about the great respect and rivalry that CCC has had with North Idaho that has existed since before he attended Clackamas.

“It’s hard to see them lose

that match to North Idaho,” said Lindland. “It’s a long-standing rivalry. They always put together a phenomenal team.”

The Cougars did produce some highlights against the perennially tough Cardinals, winning three matches in the evening. Thirdranked Trent Noon, a sophomore from Oakdale, Calif., defeated the No. 1 ranked wrestler in the nation at 174 pounds, Kyle Sweedman, by virtue of a 3-0 decision.

Noon and Sweedman are very familiar with each other. “Trent beat that kid twice last year and lost a match 1-0 earlier this year,” said Rhoden. “They are both great wrestlers that will have great careers beyond junior college. It was a good win for him.”

Niko Hughes, a sophomore from Kelso, Wash., also continued his tough wrestling at 165 pounds with an 11-4 decision over Connor Pelzel. “This is as impressive as he has been wrestling,” said Rhoden of Hughes.

In the final match of the evening, heavyweight Jacob Mitchell, a sophomore from Portland, used an impressive display of brute strength to drag Curtis Burger back to the mat before pinning him in the second round.

“He’s the kind of guy that hates to lose and he goes out and gives that effort every time,” said Rhoden.

“Josh always has a good team and he’s got them ready to wrestle,” said Whitcomb. “It’s a back

and forth battle with us and them and it makes both of us better.”

It was not the team result that the Cougars were looking for, but they have three more weeks to prepare for the Region 18 Championships and over a month until the NJCAA championships in Des Moines, Iowa.

“There is still a lot of time left in the season to get prepared for the national tournament,” said Lindland.

This Thursday, Clackamas flies out to the Northwest Wyoming duals in Powell, Wyo. The Cougars will face national power Iowa Central, Western Wyoming and Northwest Wyoming during the weekend tournament.

“This weekend is sort of a practice for nationals,” said Rhoden.

“We try to do it once a year where we fly somewhere, have to make weight and a get in a tough competition.”

Clackamas 45, SWOCC 4 – The Cougars exacted some revenge on Southwestern Oregon on Jan. 12 at Randall gym, winning nine of 10 matches to hammer the team that beat Clackamas, 28-26 in early December. The highlight of the match came when Hughes defeated No. 5 ranked Payton Moore, with a 2 to 1 decision. Raymond Evans, a freshman from New Plymouth, Idaho got a win in his first action for the Cougars by pinning the Lakers Kyle Johnston in the third round at 133 pounds.

Clackamas 24, Highline CC 18 – It came down to the last match of the night against Highline as A.J. Ballard, a freshman from Canby, got the decision over Max Welsh at 141 pounds to clinch the victory for the Cougars.

Freshmen Joshua Christianson, from Dallas, Oregon, and Bruno Becerra, from Hillsboro, got wins to highlight their first action. “I love the direction these guys are taking this program,” said Rhoden.

“It will be exciting to see how we continue to improve.”

Jui Jitsu tournament coming to Randall Gym David Beasley Associate Sports Editor

January 23-30

Sports Calendar

Coming soon to Randall Hall; the Pacific Northwest Regional Championships will roll out the wrestling mats for a different type of grappling competition. On Feb. 2, Clackamas Community College will be the proving grounds for Jiu Jitsu grappling competitors around the Northwest.

“We have people signed up from Idaho, Washington, California, British Columbia and Oregon,” said event coordinator Fabiano Scherner. “Northwest Brazilian Jui Jitsu uses International BJJ Federation rules. We have refs from different gyms. Jeff Borgeois is an IBJJF ref and coordinator for the competition.”

“There are currently 55 people signed up,” said Scherner. “We expect around 150.”

The divisions include kids, adults, masters, male and female.

If not ranked, (belt) division assignment goes by experience.

No-Gi Rules are the same for Gi and No-Gi without grabbing clothes for No-Gi. To score points, competitors must get takedowns, pass guard and gain crucial position for 3 seconds. A match is over if one competitor forces another to concede verbally or by tapping the mat twice with an open hand.

Certain holds and attacks are prohibited under the rules for safety, but basic locks and chokes are permitted methods of securing a victory.

“Medals and Herbalife supplements will be awarded to winners as prizes,” said Scherner.

“Herbalife is sponsoring the event.”

“Another two competitions will take place this year,” said Scherner. “The second competi-

tion will follow the same format, but the third will be a different format, winners from the first two competitions compete in final matches.”

On scoring Scherner said, “Nine points for win, six for 2nd place and three for third.” The competition will also serve as a fundraiser for the CCC Wrestling team as some team members will be working at the competition.

The competition starts at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 2. It is scheduled to run past 4:30 p.m. and may go all day depending on the number of matches. It will be an interesting day to be at CCC, with such a different type of sports event.

The competition is open to enter and costs $45 for entering one division, $65 for two. The complete (projected) schedule of events and rules can be found at the event’s homepage: NWBJJ. com.

Bacon foodgasm delights students Eat, Print, Love Joshua Dillen

Co-Editor-in-Chief Foodgasm is still the name of the game with Eat, Print, Love this term. Our latest edition of EPL is sure to satisfy the sweet tooth and soothe winter’s cold embrace with bacony yumminess. Designed especially for the college student or staff member who yearns for easily prepared comfort food, this week’s recipe will surely grab your taste buds with its incredible mix of fantastic flavors.

Pineapple upside down cake is sure to be a favorite of our readers. The sweet and savory minds of the Print bring you the ultimate improvement on a popular dessert. I venture to say you might just literally flip over the spectacle this will create in your mouth.

BACON! IT’S BACON!!!

Lots and lots of BACON! Without further ado, here’s a classic with a bacon lover’s twist for your om-nom-nomming enjoyment:

Cougar events get updated Breanna Craine Co- Arts & Culture Editor The Associate Student Government does a lot around campus to help students feel more comfortable. They are here to set up activities to make college not as stressful. Such activities include ski buses, club fairs, intramural sports and blood drives. The ASG office is located in the community center right inside the cafeteria. Check out these upcoming events that ASG is hosting.

About every term, the student government holds a club fair for new and returning students to see what kind of clubs CCC offers.

This current club fair is taking place on Jan. 29 to the 30 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Every club fair, all the clubs come together to try and brainstorm different ways for the clubs to be seen by the students. Come to the fair to see what they decided to do this term.

Whether you like to play basketball or volleyball, CCC offers intramural versions of these sports. You do not have to be the best player as long as you love the sport and want to play!

Basketball meets every Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. and volleyball meets every Thursday from noon to 1 p.m.

Sign up in the ASG office in the community center to donate blood. The blood drives takes place Jan. 30 and 31. Giving blood saves lives. Even if you do not like needles or the thought of losing a pint of blood, the feeling you get when you saved someone’s life is unimaginable. Each year, Red Cross collects about 6.5 million units of blood.

The Cougar Cave is in the ASG office located next to the cafeteria. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat on the way to class or have a break and want something small, the Cougar Cave is the place to go.

Mt. Hood is so beautiful this time of year whether you are interested in skiing or snow-

The ski bus/lift ticket is $34 and rentals are $34 as well. Make sure to sign up in the ASG office!

Bacon Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes

Atmosphere Barometer Blizzard Breeze Cold Fog Freezing Frost Hail Ice Icicles Lightning Northwest Rain Rainbow

1 lb. bacon, chopped then cooked until crispy and drained 2/3 cup butter (you can substitute half with bacon drippings for extra bacon flavor) 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 package yellow cake mix 1 16 to 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained Medium cupcake pans to make approximately two dozen cupcakes Cupcake pan liners

Preheat your oven according to cake mix instructions.

In a medium skillet, heat and combine butter and brown sugar on medium to medium-low heat. Add bacon and pineapple. Mix together so all ingredients are incorporated evenly and remove from heat.

Line muffin pans with cupcake liners.

Spoon bacon pineapple mixture into the bottom of each liner, dividing it evenly between each cupcake pan.

Prepare cake mix according to instructions. Fill each cupcake about 2/3 full.

Cupcake pans come in different sizes. Larger ones are generally muffin pans.

Each pan can make various amounts of cupcakes or muffins. You can use muffin pans; just know that you will have to increase the cooking time.

Two dozen cupcakes is just a guideline. How many you get will vary depending on the size of your pans. The important part is to not overfill.

Place pans in preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, cool for five to 10 minutes. It’s best to enjoy this turned over treat warm.

Now enjoy the ultimate in taste bud stimulation and enter a world of bacon and pineapple infused dreams. Beware; this brilliant bacon journey may become addicting.

This recipe can also be modified to make two cakes.

Butter or grease two cake pans. Divide the bacon pineapple mixture between the two and spread across the bottoms of the pans. Now divide the cake mix between them and place in the preheated oven for 30 to 50 minutes or until toothpick or knife inserted comes out clean. I recommend cooling for 14 to 20 minutes then running a knife around the edges before turning onto a plate. Enjoy!

boarding, ASG has you covered.

Campus clubs plan events Joshua Dillen The Clackamas Print

Associate Student Government hosts a monthly check-in to help clubs spread the word about their upcoming events. Lori Garrison, (shoulder length hair with CCC sweatshirt) the ASG Club Senator, leads the meeting in which the French Club, Phi Theta Kappa (honor society), Students for Life Club, Veterans Club and a new club called The Network all weigh in on their respective clubs. There are many more clubs on campus not represented at the meeting for this month. They also talked about their club fair that is coming up on Jan. 22 and 23 in the community center.

Breanna Craine Co-Arts & Culture Editor Every month ASG holds a club meeting for the clubs at Clackamas Community College to share what events they have planned and to help spread the word. CCC offers many clubs to join on campus ranging from French club to Veterans club.

ASG also tries to use the clubs to help spread the word about what activities they are holding as well.

The meeting is called to

order and the club department starts the meeting off with introductions. The main focus of the meeting was to discuss the upcoming club fair happening on Jan. 29 and 30. These meetings are supposed to help get the word out there about what new clubs are on campus.

One new club that has not started yet is called The Network.

While details are still in the works, the goal for the club is to help students with careers and helping students get through school. The Network will also help students share career stories and find out what jobs are available in the community.

Another subject on the agenda list was talking about Clackamas Community College turning 50 in 2016. Even though that seems like forever away, the anniversary of CCC is quickly approaching. ASG has been working hard to see what things they can do to help make the college a better place for everyone. On Jan. 22 and 23 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., students interested in participating in the Imagine Clackamas survey received free pizza. If you are interested in looking at what clubs CCC offers, head to the ASG office for help.
