Look at those Cherry trees. Holy shmoly. That’s just out of control. I’m not quite sure why, but these guys always made me think politics. Yeah yeah … I know the whole George Washington thing is a myth, but seriously. They do look pretty radical.

Speaking of radical, last Monday Chemeketa students met with Rep. Brian Clem, Sen. Peter Courtney, and members of Sen. Jackie Winters staff to encourage them to fund Chemeketa Community College to the necessary levels. Our students did great! You can read about the visit in this week’s Courier. They also delivered 1,458 postcards from Chemeketa students telling our legislature to fund Chemeketa to our essential levels.
