Early in the first half, the plays were aggressive, but lacked set-up. Janine Szpara, the Cougars' head coach was on it, she instructed the team to use better tactics.

No. 17 Claudia Flores took two consecutive shots during the first half. The first attempt was halted with a save by Crandall and the next went just barely too wide.

Later, Flores had a third attempt with a long shot, but it went too high.

After a foul by the Lakers, No. 5 Marci Haynes took a free kick for the Cougars that lobbed

over the defense, but Crandall defended the follow-up. Shortly after, No. 11 Tahni Harr found herself in position to launch a long shot that missed, just barely too wide of the Lakers' goal.

Goalkeeper Melanie Trumbull’s voice rang out clear from the opposite side of the field as her team marked-up for the Lakers' goal kick.

Retail job fair coming to campus Donny Beach Associate Copy Editor What comes to mind when you think of retail? Department store clerks in formal dress, behind glass counters, boxed into sections of clothing, jewelry, shoes and housewares?

Or the kiosk attendants, variously attired, vainly vying with each other to attract the next customer? Or the food court vendors, in uncomfortable uniforms, colorfully hawking their free samples? These are images of retail from most high school students’ nightmares, before learning there is life after minimum wage.

“Especially for folks now,” said Paul Moredock, project for ACT-On, a federal grant that promotes retail management careers. “I don’t think they realize retail can lead them to: A)

great wages, and B) opportunities they never thought were possible.”

“

I don’t think they realize retail can lead them to: A) great wages and B) opportunities...”

Paul Moredock ACT-On Project director

The Oregon Employment Division (OED) lists the average yearly wages for super-

visors and managers of retail workers in Clackamas County as $42,375 per year, roughly twenty dollars an hour, over double the current rate of minimum wage. These types of jobs are what the Retail Management Certificate is tailored to facilitate for Clackamas Community College students. Moredock expounds on CCC’s role in the future of retail.

“Clackamas is uniquely poised to not only provide the educational opportunity, but then to be able to – through a federal grant – to have career coaches who can work with students who are interested in these kinds of occupations and find them jobs that have a pretty good annual salary.”

After the Lakers next goal kick, No. 19 Olivia Thoroughman drove the ball to the penalty box, but Crandall stepped-up and defended the Lakers' goal aggressively.

The Lakers were able to take the action back to the Cougars' side of the field. Trumbull defended the resulting attack.

The sun was shining on OC’s Pioneer Stadium last Wednesday afternoon. The Clackamas women’s soccer team beamed just as brightly with a 3-0 win against the Lakers of Southwestern Oregon Community College.

The Cougars attacked often, but couldn’t find clear shots.

No. 4 Khadijah Kirkland made her way up-field early in the game and sent a nice cross in front of the Lakers goal but it went out.

Crandall aggressively intercepted a pass to No. 10 Hristy Prado, then another long shot by the Cougars.

Although the Cougars controlled most of the first half, the Lakers' defense was enough to keep the score 0-0 at halftime.

RETAIL: Shopping for an employer Continued from Page 1

Through its diligence in offering certificate programs to students, Clackamas Community College was chosen to be part of a four-college consortium to receive funds from the $12 million ACT-On grant.

“The ACT-On grant is a Department of Labor-funded grant to promote the attainment and streamlined acquisition of education for students who are interested in retail management,” said Moredock. “If doing this full time, [students] can get the certificate in less than a year.”

The retail management certificate isn’t a new certificate program, in fact the college has offered this program for over 10

years, but with the infusion of the ACT-On grant money, CCC has increased the program’s support structure — comprehensive career counseling, increased instruction and events to connect students with retail employers.

On Oct. 30, Clackamas Community College will host a Retail Job Fair. In cooperation with the CASE grant team and the CCC Career Services Department, the ACT-On grant coordinators have conspired to bring retailers from all around the area to the college. Moredock’s excitement about the fair is infectious.

“The Retail Job Fair is a great marriage of the CASE grant staff and the ACT-On grant staff here on this campus,” said Moredock.

Clackamas Community College

hasn’t hosted a career fair since 2009.

“So we are breathing life back into it,” said Kara Leonard, career coach for the CASE grant office.

“There is such a huge labor market for retail jobs and [for] training in that area.”

Local stores such as Albertsons, Fred Meyer, Goodwill Industries, Haggen and Safeway are set to be among the multitude of companies expected to be on campus for the event. Students are encouraged to attend, but not just attend – bring your résumé, talk to the company representatives, ask questions and learn about the work they have available. Winter break is coming up and with it the holidays. Now is the best time to start looking into seasonal, part-time or full-time work.

“

There is such a huge labor market for retail jobs and [for] training in that area.”

“We strongly encourage anyone who is interested in attending the Retail Job Fair next Wednesday to come by and meet with a career coach, or stop by the Career Center to talk to coaches about their résumé, what’s appropriate to wear to a job fair,” CASE project director Jaime Clarke adds.

Two, check with career coach in case you’re interested in a fast track program if you want to get right into the workforce. Last thing, find out if you qualify to be a peer assistant.

International students get a change of scenery Larissa Harper The Clackamas Print Many individuals have dreams to travel the globe but not many have the opportunity to make their dreams come true.

However, there are programs that give high school and college students the freedom to explore different cultures and find out how other countries’ school systems work. Clackamas Community college is an institution that has an international program.

Since 1990, international students are graciously welcomed with open arms to come and study on the CCC campus. They venture here from all over the world to study in one of the many programs our school offers, as well as to be a part of the English as a Second Language (ESL) program. Some students come to CCC simply to study the English language from professors here. There

are currently 30 students in the Program for Intensive English (PIE). Kathryn Long, English as a Second Language Instructor and Program for Intensive English Advisor, mentions that these students are enrolled in the course with the aim of improving their knowledge of the English language. “[Students] work on their listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar so that they can transition into all regular college courses. Some of the advanced level students are taking both English classes and regular college courses such as math, art, PE and basic communication [COMM100], among others.”

In total there are 45 international students, 15 are in regular courses, but most have already completed the PIE. “Seventeen of our students are from Saudi Arabia, seven are from Japan, one is from Taiwan, one is from Korea, one is from Vietnam, two are from China, and one is from UAE,”

Long said. “Some have friends or family members who have attended here, some have come through agents, some find it on the Internet and some of our students find out about CCC through their sponsoring country.”

These international students hear about CCC in various ways.

When the student navigates to the CCC website, from there, as Enrollment Specialist Maria Dixon informed the Clackamas Print, they will be directed to the international students’ portion of the website.

“I am the students’ first contact with admissions,” Dixon said. “That’s when the process starts; it all starts with an application. They need to fill out certain documents on the Student Application Checklist. There are various documents needed and a passport.”

Specifically the documents that are needed are an application, $50 processing fee, financial statement, transcripts of previous post high schools attended,

questionnaire forms and health insurance verification form.

The international students come to study for more than one term and their interests in degrees and classes vary upon the student. Long has recently taken over in advising students in the PIE, she has seen 10 or 11 students go from the PIE into other courses here. A few of them are going to continue here and after fall term is over they will continue with all college classes. Some stay to obtain a degree, however all have enjoyed their experience here.

Shaye Alshaye, 34, from Saudi Arabia, is currently taking classes in English — reading, writing and grammar. Since he already has a bachelor’s degree from his country, he expressed that he wants to continue his education here and ultimately receive a master’s degree in business.

“I came here last year for spring term,” Alshaye said. “I like it here a lot. I found the school from an office in my

country [and] I have read a lot about CCC. I have friends and family that came here with me, we are all international.”

To be a student here, Alshaye went through the same process as all of the other international students. He said that he had to show medical insurance forms, a passport, a back statement and his certificate from his bachelor’s degree. He went through a process called the I-20. It was explained as a form for immigration.

In gathering information from an international student and the faculty that is familiar with the programs, it is apparent that students who attend here- whether they desire to learn English or simply want to study in the United States, all enjoy their experience.

Halloween Safety Tips

American Academy of Pediatrics offers these tips for Trick-or-Treaters to make sure everyone stays safe and has fun this Halloween.

“• Plan costumes that

are bright and reflective.

Make sure that shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame.

• Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility.

• When shopping for costumes, wigs and accessories look for and purchase those with a label clearly indicating they are flame resistant.

• If a sword, cane, or stick is a part of your child’s costume, make sure it is not sharp or too long. A child may be

easily hurt by these accessories if he stumbles or trips.

• Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts.

• Teach children how to call 9-1-1 (or their local emergency number) if they have an emergency or become lost.

• Small children should never carve pumpkins.

Children can draw a face with markers. Then parents can do the cutting.

• Wait until children are home to sort and check treats. Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should closely examine all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped or suspicious items.

• Consider using a flash-

light or glow stick instead of a candle to light your pumpkin. If you do use a candle, a votive candle is safest.

• Candlelit pumpkins should be placed on a sturdy table, away from curtains and other flammable objects, and should never be left unattended.

• To keep homes safe for visiting Trick-or-Treaters, parents should remove from the porch and front yard anything a child could trip over such as garden hoses, toys, bikes and lawn decorations.

• Wet leaves or snow should be swept from sidewalks and steps.

• Restrain pets so they do not inadvertently jump on or bite a Trick-or-

Treater.

• A parent or responsible adult should always accompany young children on their neighborhood rounds.

• If your older children are going alone, plan and review the route that is acceptable to you. Agree on a specific time when they should return home.

• Only go to homes with a porch light on and never enter a home or car for a treat.

• Stay in a group and communicate where they will be going.

• Carry a cellphone for quick communication.

• Remain on well-lit streets and always use the sidewalk.

• Never cut across yards or use alleys.

• Only cross the street as a group in established crosswalks (as recognized by local custom).

Never cross between parked cars or out driveways.

• Law enforcement authorities should be notified immediately of any suspicious or unlawful activity.

• A good meal prior to parties and trick-ortreating will discourage youngsters from filling up on Halloween

”

treats.

Family friendly Halloween hoopla

Healthy Friendships Real Health Jesse Henninger Arts & Culture Editor riendships have proF found effects on our lives and our health. Although

they can be challenging to find and even more difficult to maintain, having a good understanding of what good friendships consist of and how they enrich our lives will be a big step for our mental well-being.

Friends cheer us up. They are there to celebrate life’s happy moments by our sides.

Friends are there to catch us when we fall and console us during our darkest times. Friends help relieve our stress. Having good friends is the number one cure for loneliness.

Life takes us in many directions. We graduate high school, move to new places, attend new schools or begin new jobs and our existing friends will not always be able to join us. Therefore, it is necessary to create new friendships. Making new friends isn’t always an easy task.

When setting out to make quality long-term friendships, I suggest: • Joining a gym • Volunteering • Attending church or other community activities • New adventures you have never tried, but have always wanted to.

• Try making friends on campus. (No brainer).

It is ridiculous to believe that you need a prerequisite number of friends to be happy and healthy. You will know when your dance card is full.

Hang onto the good eggs, but continue your amiable attitude even towards those to whom you do not feel especially drawn.

What can I do to prevent a friendship from ending?

Every relationship requires effort — from both parties.

Making sure we are being a good friend is just as important, if not more so, than choosing good friends. Here are some tips on ways to nurture your friendships: Know yourself: When you have good self-esteem, it rubs off on people.

Don’t overdo it: Respect your friends’ boundaries.

Incessant emails and texts are annoying and may be offputting. No one wants friends who make them feel smothered.

No competing: Friendship is not about comparing ourselves with others. It does not matter who makes more money or who has a nicer car, home, etc. Also, never try to “one-up” someone with whom you want to remain friends. Even if you really have experienced bigger, better and more exciting things than your friends, it is tiresome to hear it all the time.

Respect privacy: Keep your mouth shut. Sharing your friends’ secrets and personal information without their permission is a huge violation.

Don’t judge: Give your friends room to change, grow and make mistakes. None of us are perfect. Be forgiving.

Listen to others: Being a good listener is one of the most valuable skills we have.

Everyone needs to be able to vent a little frustration.

Many of our friends are the people we grew up with, met in high school or came in contact with through other activities of our younger days.

Friendships will continually change and every so often, end altogether for a variety of reasons. Finding new friends, nurturing those friendships with these simple tips will lead to success in your platonic endeavors.

SOCCER: Wednesday’s win encourages Cougars Continued from Page 1

“

There was a defender on my right side so I had to battle to get in front of her. The whole right side of the goal was open, so I took the shot.”

Megan Luckenbach Freshman Defender

The Cougars were still on the attack. At 69:00 on the official time, No. 12 Mecca Williams

Karina Gustafson Clackamas Print

At just 00:36 into the second half, No. 24 Taija Channel scored the first goal of the game.

“I didn’t play the first half, so I wanted to come out strong and make an impact on the team,” said Channel.

That was all the impact the Cougars needed to pick up steam.

They were ahead, but continued to press forward retaining a tight hold on the 1-0 lead in the second half. Corea took another impressive shot, but Crandall saved it again. Flores stayed savvy as she attempted a couple more shots in the second half. Flores received a spot-on pass for her last attempt and Crandall just barely managed to save it.

With the sun glaring in her face, freshman defender Hristy Prado maneuvers the ball, preparing a pass upfield to a teammate. The sun proves to be a factor in the first half as the Cougars go on to score all three points in the second half, with the sun at their backs.

assisted a pinpoint shot by Butler for the second goal of the afternoon.

“Mecca did a really nice diagonal ball which was what we talked about at half,” said Butler. “Taija had a first-touch (to Williams) which allowed me to split the defense.”

Still hungry for points in the final minutes and using smart positioning, Butler ran the ball

towards the goal but Crandall defended. The Cougars still commanded a dominant lead of 2-0.

Roberts had three goal attempts in the second half and at 89:00 on the clock, she assisted an excellent open shot on goal by Luckenbach. Her shot scored and the Cougars finished out the game with a 3-0 victory over the Lakers.

“I saw Tori, she gave a good

ball right in the air to me, I took a good first-touch that set me up for the goal,” said Luckenbach.

“There was a defender on my right side so I had to battle to get in front of her. The whole right side of the goal was open, so I took the shot.”

Last Wednesday was not only a convincing win for the team, but the ninth shutout this season for goalkeeping magician Trumbull.

Crandall of the Lakers managed to grab 10 saves. The Cougars were still top of the South region after Wednesday’s game and they continue to build momentum towards an NWAACC title shot.

Butler offered insight into their journey towards playoffs.

“We need to apply what we do in practice to games,” said Butler.

The Storm of Chemeketa Community College couldn’t rain on Clackamas’ parade as the Cougars women’s soccer team defeated their division rivals 4-2 this Friday. The sunny 70 degree day at OC’s Pioneer Stadium provided a perfect setting for the Cougars offense to shine in a game riddled end to end with scoring.

The Chemeketa defense looked disheveled as midfielder Olivia Thoroughman caught them off guard with a charge at their goal during the opening minute of play.

The quick goal foreshadowed a dominating performance as the Cougars held possession of the ball through most of the match and set up many scoring chances.

Chemeketa was able to tie the game up quickly at the eight-minute mark as a shot from Hannah Lopez slipped past Clackamas goalkeeper Melanie Trumbull.

The Storm’s relief was only temporary as the Cougars once again found the back of their goal via the foot of Stephanie Corea with an assist by Mecca Krutsinger.

Down 2-1 early in the match, Chemeketa coach Art Mota made the adjustment at goalkeeper and pulled Tonya Corral in favor of Cheyenne Myers. The change would prove beneficial for the Storm as Myers was able to get her hands on several shots at goal, earning nine saves for the day.

Chemeketa showed frustration after the second goal, picking up a much more aggressive, physical style of play. The referees were lenient to the rough game play showing no cards the whole afternoon, but the Cougars were awarded the majority of the free kicks for the day.

The Cougars maintained their high pace despite the aggressive opposition. Clackamas Coach Janine Szpara’s yelling drowned out the Chemeketa coaching staff throughout the game. Szpara mostly yelled short, simple phrases.

“Talk!” Szpara screamed, encouraging constant teamwork when her players made errors due to lack of communication.

“Separate! Press up! Cross it!”

Tahni Harr (11) makes a play against two Chemeketa defenders. The Cougars beat the Chemeketa Storm 4-2, clinching a NWAAC playoff spot. The Cougars lead the South Division with four regular season games left.

Szpara yelled often. She occasionally issued more direct orders to the team for on-field adjustments.

“Claudia, you’re playing too tight! Keep her (Storm player) and the ball in front of you!” Szpara demanded as Claudia Flores was defending a Chemeketa throw-in.

Despite the aggressive nature of their opposition, the Cougars pressed hard, using quick style.

Flashy plays throughout the day included passes through opponents’ legs by Tori Roberts and Stephanie Corea, both inspired

cheers from the crowd. The home team was clearly outpacing the women from Chemeketa.

“They [Clackamas] are just out-running them all game,” said fan Jill Freeders at half time. “I think the other team is getting tired.”

The Cougars continued to play hard. Tori Roberts managed to slip two shots into Chemeketa’s net.

Roberts first scored off an assist from Thoroughman at the 66 minute mark, and then again to put the game out of reach in the 89th.

Chemeketa player Hannah Lopez was able to score after 73 minutes of play, but ultimately Clackamas was the better team that day.

Other than fast offense, the Cougars tough defense was excellent at blocking scoring chances throughout the game. Despite the two goals allowed, Melanie Trumbull collected two saves including a punch clearing the ball to the other side of the field.

There were about 50 Clackamas fans in attendance Friday to cheeron their Cougars. The fans loudly

rooted for their team’s exciting play.

“I see NWAAC champ potential here,” said Grant Sitton, Cougars supporter and Hope Butler fan. He had a good point as the 10-1-1 Clackamas team clinched a playoff berth and lead the South division in points. The Cougars play the Pierce College Raiders on Oct. 23 in an away game. The Cougars’ next and final home game is set for Sunday, Oct. 27, 1 p.m. at OC’s Pioneer Stadium.

Heralded new wrestling recruit Adrian Salas adapts to new life at CCC Sequoia Allen The Clackamas Print In a state with over 38 million residents, it’s hard to stand out — but being named California’s Division I Boys Athlete of the Year in your senior year of high school just about does the trick.

Meet Adrian Salas, one of CCC’s newest wrestling recruits. He is part of a team of 30 wrestlers that call CCC home and one of about 20 new team members.

In high school, Salas wrestled and played various positions on the football field for Clovis High. Salas won the boys 182pound California Interscholastic Federation Wrestling State Championship title last March.

He was heavily recruited in his senior year, but he eventually set-

tled on Clackamas, because CCC has a good wrestling program and because several of his teammates had also come here.

“

He is a good kid, a hard worker and likes to have fun.”

C.J. Palmer Wrestling teammate

Salas had never been to Oregon before this summer, but while he admits that it is a big change, he expresses satisfaction not only with the wrestling

program at CCC, but also the tree-filled greenness of his new surroundings. The wrestling program is equally happy with him: CCC’s wrestling coach Josh Rhoden praised Salas as a super athlete.

“You can’t really teach athleticism,” said Rhoden. “In those two sports, football and wrestling, he’s definitely off the charts.”

Salas has joined the Cougars roster in the 184/197 weight divisions. C.J. Palmer, a returning member of the wrestling team, described Salas as strong.

“A lot stronger than most people,” said Palmer. “[He is] a good kid, a hard worker and likes to have fun.”

Salas began wrestling in fifth grade after his dad told him about the sport. “[He] told me how physical it was and how you can just drop

someone on [his] head and not get in trouble for it,” said Salas smiling good-naturedly, a smile that lit up his whole face. “I started wrestling after that and I just stuck with it.”

Now, as a strong, hundred-andeighty-pound 18-year-old, it is hard to imagine that fifth grader, but the enthusiasm he described is still there. His favorite move is a double-leg takedown. “[You] take one knee down and you grab both [his] legs with both arms and you just drive right through the guy,” said Salas.

The wrestling team often practices eight times a week, but when asked if he liked this demanding schedule, there was no hesitation in Salas’ voice as he answered yes. Of course, he can’t spend all his time wrestling; he is also busy with his classes. Salas plans to transfer to a four-year university after he finishes up his

SALAS

GED here at CCC and said he’s interested in becoming a student adviser. When he transfers, he definitely wants another school with a good wrestling program.

For now though, he’s a Cougar and, as Palmer described him, a big asset to the team.
