Clark College will begin offering English, math and science classes at a satellite campus in Skamania County this fall.
The classes will be taught in the Wind River Education Center in Carson. The former middle school is largely vacant, according to Tim Cook, vice president of Instruction.
Teena McDonald, superintendent of the Stevenson-Carson School District, and Jerry Lewis, superintendent of the White Salmon School District, proposed the idea of bringing Clark College classes to Skamania County.
“I came from a smaller school district,” McDonald said. “The hub of that town was a small community college. I was absolutely amazed at the impact of that college.”
Carson is 50 miles east of Clark College’s main cam-pus. In the 2012-2013 school year, 253 students lived in Skamania County.
For these students, the commute to and from the college’s main campus is expensive and potentially dan-gerous in the winter, McDonald said.

“We do not have new money to move out there,” Cook said. “Anything we offer has to pay for itself.”
At least 15 students must sign up for each class to cover all costs of the satellite campus, which include rent, internet and faculty wages.

The Skamania County campus will act as a test and may lead to other satellite campuses in the future. “We are really just trying to give it a go and see what will take off,” Cook said.

Gaming Lounge Opens In Mall Clark Students Benefit From Serving OthersPLAYLive owner welcomes gamers of all skill levels
Managing a farm, throwing birds at evil green pigs and killing zombies are all common activities.
At least they are in video games.Gaming is becoming more wide-
spread due to games on social media websites, tablets and smartphones, said Zachary Grant, librarian at Clark College.
Interactive games, such as bowling and Just Dance on the Nintendo Wii console, can also create a more family friendly environment, Grant said.
“The geek perception is going away,” Grant said.
Video games are no longer limited to households. They are becoming more accessible to all community members through gaming lounges.
One such lounge, PLAYLive, opened DW�WKH�:HVWÀHOG�9DQFRXYHU�PDOO�0DUFK���

Nick Ashitey and Amelia Rivero are Clark College students who regularly perform community service.
Both students said serving and help-ing others are important.
Ashitey volunteers at hospitals, homeless shelters and organizations like Clark College’s Career Services and Habitat for Humanity.
He also volunteered for relief for hurricanes Charley, Francis and Jean.
“It is really a joy to be able to serve the needs of others in these small ways to make a difference in their precious lives,” Ashitey said.
Rivero volunteers at the Hazel Dell School and Community Garden, Columbia Dance, the Clark theater pro-gram, The Fort Vancouver Lions Club, Friends of the Carpenter, KPDQ, Coach Anderson Relay and the Living Hope Church in Vancouver.
Rivero knew she loved helping others ever since she was little and credits her family for raising her to serve others. “I come from a large family. You [need to] be helping each other,” she said.
Both Ashitey and Rivero have un-derlying reasons why they perform com-munity service.
“Most of these organizations are QRQSURÀW� RUJDQL]DWLRQV�µ� 5LYHUR� VDLG��“They can’t afford...to hire somebody to do the work, so [service] keeps the money

Dhoot also said gaming is a good alternative to watching TV or movies. “You’ve got something new that’s far more interactive than either one of those two options,” he said.
Video games can also be educational. Players can develop problem-solving skills and view life from a different perspective, Grant said.
One example is Dys4ia, a game that addresses transgender issues.
“Some people may not feel comfort-able experiencing a game like Dys4ia, but that’s the whole point,” Grant said. “To help people better understand what someone else is experiencing.”
However, the fun, stimulating experi-ence gaming provides can make it easy for some people to become addicted.
“Striking a balance is important to maintaining a good mental health,” Clark College counselor Gloria Ramberg said.
Comparing how much time is spent gaming to time spent overall can create awareness for those who may play too much, Ramberg said.

Rivero continued with a laugh, “I love God and I just love helping people.”
Ashitey said he performs community service because he “believes there is more joy and self-happiness in giving than there is in receiving.”

Athlete Spotlight: Holland Roberts
Athletic Director Weighs In On What It Takes To Be A Coach
Freshman Holland Roberts said support from friends and family, a schol-arship and her “knack for pole-vaulting” OHG�WR�KHU�FRPSHWH�LQ�WUDFN�DQG�ÀHOG�DW�Clark College.
Roberts was ranked sixth head-ing into the Northwest Association of Community Colleges Championship this week. Clark College also named her Athlete of the Week two weeks ago.
Holland said her high school pole-vaulting coach, Louis Baucom, helped her become a better athlete.
“He showed me that as long as you’re enjoying what you’re doing, you can’t lose,” Roberts said. “This mentality has really aided me through my years of vaulting, and it helps me to remember that no matter if I win, or if I lose, I’m still doing what I love, and that’s all that matters.”
Roberts said it feels great to be rec-ognized for her achievements, but she doesn’t consider herself more deserving than her teammates. “We all work hard to do well in our events.”
“I think she has done really well with all the challenges this year with facilities,” WUDFN�DQG�ÀHOG�FRDFK�$PEHU�0RRUH�VDLG��“I wish I could have given her more.”
In the wake of six coaches resigning from Clark College in the past two years, one might wonder what it takes to be a coach for the Penguins.
“When hiring a coach you have to decide who you would want in your liv-ing room talking to your 18-year-old,” said Charles Guthrie, athletic director at Clark College.
Guthrie said that he looks at the can-didate’s character and professionalism. Recruiting is a major part of a coach’s job, Guthrie added.
Vice President of Student Affairs Bill Belden agrees. “We evaluate all our [athlet-ics] programs on recruiting,” Belden said.

“Borce was the complete package, meaning he had a lot of ability but he also worked hard and was very coachable,” said coach Biniam Afenegus, who added that Atanasov led by example and always practiced with intensity.
“Usually people with his skill level don’t work hard,” Afenegus said. “But Borce always worked hard and was voted team captain by the players each of the last two seasons.”
Atanasov was selected as the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges men’s Soccer Player of the Year in 2012. He led the NWAACC in goals, scoring 42 career goals at Clark College.
Atanasov said his goals are to become a starting player and the leading scorer at OSU this fall.

Ty Singleton submitted his resigna-tion, effective the end of the year, part way through the season after his softball team recorded a series of defeats.

New York artist Shantell Martin
hosted a multimedia art performance in
the Archer Gallery May 6.
Nearly 100 students and guests
packed the Archer Gallery to watch
Martin’s performance, which incor-
porated drawings of lines, shapes and
scenes projected onto the gallery wall.
Students from the music department
played a variety of instruments, including
a saxophone, trombone and didgeridoo,
to accompany the performance. As the
music grew louder, Martin incorporated
more colors into her work.
“I’m inspired by what’s around me,
by friends and seeing people around
me achieve their goals,” Martin said.
“I’m also inspired by trying to be better,
stronger and healthier – and the better I
feel, the more inspired I am.”
Martin said she wanted to be an art-
ist from an early age, when she started
doodling cartoons.
“I think her work is very amaz-
ing, original and inspiring,” art student
Mariah Lewis said. “I couldn’t pick a
favorite part. I liked the whole thing. It
was really great to see live art created.”
Gallery director Carson Legree said
she “didn’t know what to expect with a
multimedia performance, but it was just
lovely to have it all together and Shantell’s
style is very unique.”
“She begins with one line, and fol-
lows it to wherever it leads her,” Legree
said.

Legree and art director Senseney

have Martin visit classes and the gallery.
Some of Martin’s original pieces are

“I think this is one of the coolest

she would come because she’s famous,
but we’re thrilled that she’s here.”
Every year, art directors select an
artist for the Artist in Residence pro-

New York Times home magazine.
Martin has collaborated with several
celebrity photographers and companies
like Samsung, Dell, Nike and Coca-

“My favorite part about being an

I have a way with connecting to people
