LeClair champions LCC as agent of transition in down economy
Respect for community college students and their commitment to improving their lives despite economic hardship led Dr. Gary LeClair to run for the LCC Board of Education three years ago. “LCC has a lot of people that have been out of the workforce for a while, students not dependent on daddy’s money, and women in...

And now for the losers…
From the second the nominations for this year’s Academy Awards were released, critics and film fans alike gathered around their televisions and computers to see who got the nod, and who should win.

OREGON CITY — Lane’s men’s basketball team’s playoff dreams came to a halt on Saturday night as they suffered an 84-71 loss to the Clackamas Cougars in Oregon City. “It was a tough loss obviously, being knocked out of the running,” Titans head coach Bruce Chavka said. “This isn’t a spot we thought we’d be...

Let’s talk about sex, baby…
Sex! There, I said it. Forgive me, Mom and Dad, but this column is all about sex and how healthy it is for you. Heck, if it weren’t for sex, I wouldn’t be here to share my insight. Now that, that’s out of the way, let’s get down to business. When you’re in the mood,...

Good sportsmanship the key to winning the game that matters
As a former high school and college athlete, I’ve experienced firsthand taunts from fans. Taunting opposing players is one thing, but it is never appropriate when fans direct racial slurs at players. What brings me to this subject is an incident between Lane’s men’s basketball team and the team from Southwestern Oregon Community College on...
