Clark College Phoenix earns top honors
In their message to the college, ASPA officials noted that Phoenix scored 975 points out of a possible 1000 and noted that the magazine “shows the efforts of talented and creative editors, writers, artists, photographers, layout designers, staff members and advisors.” Dr. Rita Carey, English professor, is the literary advisor to the Phoenix staff. Dr. Carey said, “These awards testify to the talent of our students. From the student staff to the students whose literature and art was featured in the 2008 issue of Phoenix, Clark students once again demonstrated their commitment to excellence in the fine arts.” Dr. Carey noted that the 2009
edition, which will be issued during Clark College’s 75th
anniversary year, will mark the 45th year of
Phoenix. The publication was originally called
The Egg. Sixteen editions of
The Egg were published. This will be the 29th edition
of Phoenix. The 2008
Phoenix is available on the Clark College Web site at
http://www.clark.edu/student_services/ Art professor Kathrena Halsinger, art advisor to the Phoenix staff, said, “I am so honored to be a part of this program and to have the generous support of so many people across the college.” Halsinger noted that Phoenix “is truly a team effort that begins with our talented students, who are so ably mentored and encouraged by our Art and English faculty and staff, supported and financed by the Associated Students of Clark College, and cheered on by our administration.” Halsinger specifically cited the work done by Martha Lewis, who served as Art Advisor for the 2008 issue of Phoenix, graphic editor Mary Kate Carmichael and “all the rest of the wonderful, hard-working student staff.” Phoenix is funded by the Associated Students at Clark College. Flat art work, photographs of three-dimensional work, poetry, and prose are all considered for publication. The deadline for literary submissions for the 2009 Phoenix is January 13. The deadline for visual art submissions is February 4. The 2009 publication will be unveiled in early May. Correction: A reporter, of all people, should know not to believe everything he or she reads. We apologize for an error in the Friday edition stating that the city of Battle Ground is the only municipality in Clark County to receive an upgraded bond rating. In fact, the fair city of Washougal also received an upgrade following its recent review with Standard & Poor’s. We implore you to continue to believe what you read here, unless we tell you otherwise. City of Washougal receives upgraded bond rating The city of Washougal recently
underwent a rating review with Standard & Poor’s, which resulted in an
upgrade of the city’s general obligation bond rating from an A to AA-. News Brief GF Strategies and E.D. Hovee and Company have joined forces to offer Fairgrounds and Expo Center master plan and feasibility studies, it was announced today by Greg Flakus, owner of 15-year-old GF Strategies, and Eric Hovee.
