A college academic advisor who

was ired this year is now suing the school. Thurman Holder worked at Central Oregon Community Col-lege from September 2009 and was terminated from his position in April, 2014.

In the suit, iled with Deschutes County Circuit Court on or around Sept. 15, 2014, Holder alleges gen-

der discrimination was a key factor in his dismissal. Holder names Kev-

in Kimball, COCC Chief Financial Oficer, and Vickery Viles, Holder’s direct supervisor and CAP Center Director, as defendants.

According to the legal docu-

ment, in October 2013, an email was sent to academic advisors dis-

cussing students who were having dificulty scheduling appointments. Holder allegedly then volunteered that if any of his students were hav-

ing dificulty scheduling appoint-ments, he would be willing to meet the students outside his assigned of-ice hours at a location convenient. Holder has done off-site counseling for the past four years, according to the suit.

After that communication, the suit alleges, Viles told Holder to immediately stop advising students off campus. Holder asserts in the suit that he was being singled out regarding off-campus advising and that female employees were al-lowed to continue advising students off-campus.

In January 2013, Holder was put on administrative leave. Around two weeks later, Viles presented Holder with a notice of a pre-dis-

missal hearing set for February. The notice, presented to Holder alleged Holder had offered to meet students at a bar for academic advising, had contacted a co-worker multiple times, and offered a student money for her boots after she indicated she was experiencing inancial strug-

gles, according to the suit.Before the pre-dismissal hear-

ing in February, Holder’s attorney contacted COCC notifying the col-lege that “any disciplinary action” against Holder would be seen as gender discrimination.

In April, Holder received an email from Kimball stating the recommendation for dismissal was being upheld. In the suit, Holder contends that Kimball and Viles were not “neutral decision makers” in the process. In addition, Holder contends that he was terminated be-

fore an investigation of the gender discrimination claim was complete.

The suit seeks $31,990 in lost wages and beneits since his dis-

missal as well as $300,000 in non-economic damages such as mental and emotional distress.

Ron Paradis, spokesman for COCC, said he was unable to com-

ment about pending litigation.

For the irst time in years, there are no returning members

on Associated Students of Central Oregon Communi-ty College’s current coun-cil. In the past, at least one member from the previous

years’ student council has been reelected or rehired onto the council. This has been both a blessing and a curse. The expertise the experienced council mem-bers had often helped new council members grow. However, it historically also brought with it some baggage, such as allega-tions of misuse of funds, abuse of power and ethical violation.

So far this year, council members appear to be tak-ing their positions serious-ly and are working to get their goals accomplished. According to Taran Smith,

ASCOCC advisor, the new council has already accom-plished more this term, short staffed, than previous councils with more experi-ence.

Part of the new coun-cil’s success could be at-tributed to the new execu-tive structure.

For years, ASCOCC was run much like the soc-cer leagues we so fondly remember from childhood. Everyone shared equal re-sponsibility, no one was superior to another mem-ber, and everyone had the chance to celebrate the team’s success. That’s

great for the eight-year old soccer teams that never keep score at games; but the “system of equality” doesn’t work when you need to hold people ac-countable for their mis-takes.

This year is a different story. The council is keep-ing score. Members of ASCOCC are now part of a hierarchy. Everyone has various levels of responsi-bility hopefully leading to more accountability over-all.

To the new council: learn from the victories and failures of your prede-

cessors. Utilize the experi-ence of your advisor and those around you to help you make decisions. If you don’t know the solution to a problem, seek advice; when you don’t know the answer to a question, ask.You have been given a clean slate. In the com-ing year, COCC’s students and The Broadside will be watching what you do with this slate. Be cautious that you do not stain your can-vas with the same mistakes that others have made be-fore you.


Finally, a breath of fresh air

In the Oct. 1 issue of The Broadside, Jessica James’ name was mis-spelled in the photo cutline for “ASCC: meeting the students needs during university growth.” In the article, source, Kyle Shenk’s name was also misspelled.

In the same issue, in the article “Presidential search begins again,” it was not inserted that Mike Macintosh also has a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in education from Eastern Oregon University. The Broadside regrets these errors.

Do you know what’s on the ballot? In the 1960s people died for the right

to vote. Even today in parts of the world certain demographics are still not afforded this right. However, in recent elections, statistics have shown record low voter numbers.

Voter demographic trends published by the U.S. Census Bureau continue to show that voting rates increase with age. Those statistics also show that voting numbers are higher in presidential election years. That said, in the 2012 presidential election only 38 percent of eligi-ble individuals ages 18-24 voted. That’s down from a little over 45 percent in the 2008 presidential elections.

The lack of apathy for elec-tions is not only alarming but will affect your pocketbook.

Your vote matters. Politi-cians continually make decisions about higher education costs and student loan policies. These are decisions that will affect your pocketbook.

Politicians need students voices in order to address stu-dents needs. If you’re not vot-ing you’re handing your voice to

someone else to speak for you.

History proves elections can be decided by only a hand-ful of votes. Submitting your ballot could be

the deciding factor in prevent-ing elections from being left to chance.

Over the past years, the As-sociated Students of Central Or-egon Community College’s Vote OR Vote campaign has registered record numbers of students to vote. Getting registered voters from the college age demograph-ic is a giant step in the right di-rection. However, registering is only the irst step.

It’s up to you, the students, to follow through and submit those ballots.

It’s easy to believe that your single vote couldn’t possibly make a dent in the overall elec-tions. However, with 10,565 credit seeking students at COCC, according to the COCC 2013-14 annual enrollment report, imagine if every eligible student chose not to vote.

Speak for yourself, exercise your right and on November 4, get out and vote.


Voting ballots are

here and ready … are you?

College age demographic continues to shift

Abigail Stevens | The Broadside

Over the past ten years, the age demographic of the college has shifted. Currently the typical

college student age of 18-23 accounts for only one-third of the overall student population, according to the 2013-14 Central Oregon Community College An-nual Enrollment Report.

This diversity in ages at COCC cre-ates a unique environment with different needs than a typical university, accord-ing to Karen Roth, director of Multicul-tural Activities.

COCC has tried to “break the classic

stereo-type” of a disconnected commu-nity college by integrating on campus clubs and extracurricular programs, ac-cording to Roth.

“The challenge for the campus is to ensure that we work to address the vary-ing needs and interests of students of dif-ferent ages,” Roth said.

By addressing the needs of a diverse student group, COCC is setting them-selves apart from other community col-leges, according to Drew Jones, director of Admissions and Records at COCC.

“This isn’t the traditional community college experience where you show up, put your earphones on, and just go to

class. It’s part of what makes us unique,” Jones said.

The age diversity can be attributed in part to the recruiting brackets COCC focuses on. The college currently draws much of their population from local high schools as well as individuals seeking a career change, according to Ron Paradis, director of College Relations.

In addition to affecting campus logis-tics, such as recruiting efforts, the age diversity affects campus culture as well, Paradis explained.

“There are some students who have so many outside commitments related to jobs and families that it is a struggle just

to make it to class,” Paradis said. “How-ever, we provided multiple ways for stu-dents to get together...these provide stu-dents with community at COCC.”

The student population age shift sup-ports COCC’s overall mission to “serve the community no matter what age,” ac-cording to Jones.

“I don’t see us ever changing that philosophy--we’re open to the commu-nity no matter what age or background you’re coming from--we will always be mixed,” Jones said.

On October 13, the campus joined together to cel-ebrate and honor National

Coming Out day.In recognition of the day, Cen-

tral Oregon Community College hosted events to support the Les-bian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender community and raise awareness of the LGBT civil rights movement.

Having National Coming Out Day fall on a day so close to the beginning of term has historically

proven beneicial to the campus community, according to Karen Roth, director of Multicultural Ac-tivities at COCC.

“For new students and staff who may be wondering what the climate at COCC is like for indi-viduals in the LGBT community, this helps to give them a sense that the campus is both respectful and welcoming,” Roth said.

National Coming Out Day, Oct. 11, is an internationally observed day to raise awareness of the LGBT community.

There are two main reasons

COCC celebrates National Com-ing Out Day, according to COCC instructor and COCC Gay Straight Alliance club advisor, Owen Mur-phy.

“The irst is to show support and gratitude for the [LGBT] com-munity. The second is to educate folks who may not know much about the issues that sexual minor-ities face. Greater awareness will hopefully lead to greater accep-tance and, at the very least, equal rights,” Murphy said.

After two members’ resignations,

student council began the year

with no members returning from

previous councils.

In September, Amber Ruedi, the vice

president of Associate Students of Cen-

tral Oregon Community College affairs,

and Shanelle Allen, ASCOCC treasurer,

submitted their letters of resignation from

ASCOCC, leaving the council two mem-

bers short of a full executive ofice.“My new job has turned out to be more

affairs, served on the council for one year. Ruedi left the

council in order to focus her time on being a mother.

◄ Shanelle Allen served as the treasurer of AS-COCC. Allen was origi-nally hired in the position after Matt Armstead, the previous treasurer, resigned in Dec. 2013.

Returning members resign from ASCOCCdemanding and will not afford me the time

to be a member of student council,” said

Allen in an email to Taran Smith, AS-

COCC advisor.

According to Smith, Allen’s resigna-

tion was prompted after she began em-

ployment at an accounting irm in Eugene.“I thought I would be able to do both,”

Allen stated in her letter of resignation.

“However, I will not be able to do both

jobs while in school.”

Similar to Allen, Ruedi’s reasons for

leaving ASCOCC also stems from limited

availability.

“I resigned from [my position] to

meet the needs of my son who has spe-

cial needs,” explained Ruedi in an email

to The Broadside. “My commitment to the

position did not change, but the time and

effort needed to help my son through his

struggles made it dificult to give full at-tention and detail to the position.”

Due to the members giving notice of

their resignation before fall term began,

ASCOCC had ample time to plan for ill-ing those positions, according to Justin

Warren, vice president of legislative af-

fairs at ASCOCC.

“Its never great to know someone will

leave the ofice,” Warren said. “I am glad the process went as smoothly as it did.”

Application process openASCOCC is now seeking to ill the two

executive ofice positions in addition to eight other positions on the council.

For the two positions on the executive

council, ASCOCC will use representa-

tives of an appointment committee to se-

lect students for those positions.

“Part of the hiring process last year

was to ill some of the positions and then have the council hire the additional coun-

cil members,” Smith explained. “Those

two positions are now encompassed in the

overall hiring process.”

Evelia Sandoval and Zelda Ziegler will be the representatives of the appointment

committee this year, according to Smith.

The application deadline for all ten of

the available ASCOCC council positions

is Oct. 31. Interviews will be held the irst week of November with notiication of employment occurring on Nov. 15.

The skill sets required for the two exec-

utive positions are speciic and are a good step for students with some institutional

knowledge of COCC who are interested in

being involved on campus and advocating

for students, according to Smith.

“The vice president of student affairs is

really all about working with the council

so they remain focused on their mission

and goals. Some supervisory experience

would be great experience for the posi-

tion,” Smith said. “When it comes to the

treasurer, there is a lot of money and bud-

get stuff, so having someone with that ex-

perience is really helpful.”

Though the skill sets may be different

for each position, Warren believes that no

matter the position, the students selected

must be interested in being leaders.

“Leadership qualities are irst priority,” Warren explained. “If anybody is taking

a job in student government, they should

know how to lead people and interact with

others well. You have to feel comfortable

about connecting with everyone on cam-

pus. That’s what it is to be a leader.”

Even though the council started the year short staffed, Smith believes their

“positive and exciting energy” has been of

beneit.“Everything they have wanted to do so

far, even though they are short staffed, has

come to fruition. I am overwhelmingly

impressed with these four council mem-

bers, and I am ecstatic to see the other ten

that they bring on and what they will ac-

complish collectively,” Smith said.

Getting to campus can be one of the

biggest hurdles facing students’

education, according to Terri

Botts, Student Life administrative assis-

tant.

Many students end up relying on public

transportation. Currently enrolled Central

Oregon Community College and Oregon

State University-Cascades students are

able to get discounts to ease the cost of

public transportation. For $10, students

are able to purchase a bus pass through

Cascades East transit for the zone one in the Bend area.

“I have heard students say they would

not be able to get to class without [the dis-

count],” said Terri Botts, an administrative

assistant in the Ofice of the Dean of Stu-

dent and Enrollment Services. To help students, and others in our

community, CET has implemented a trav-

el training program, which provides inter-

ested bus riders with a travel trainer who

will show them how to use the system.

Once students arrive on campus,

COCC’s Bend campus offers a free on-

campus shuttle to all students. CET buses have partnered with COCC shuttle, com-

municating when they are dropping off

students as well as delays and schedule

changes.

For students in search of housing, inding vacancies both on campus and in the community could become more

dificult. Demand for rental housing in Central Oregon has steadily increased over the past ten years. Due to the in-

crease in demand, rental vacancies are at an “all-time” low,

according to Kenny LaPoint, director of Housing Works Cen-

tral Oregon.

In Central Oregon, the vacancy rate for 2014 is now ex-

pected to be around .5 percent while in 2009 it was around 13

percent. Part of the decrease in available rentals is due to the

2008 recession, according to LaPoint.

“I think a lot of people are

in the rental market after going

through foreclosures during the

recession,” LaPoint said.

Housing Works assists low-

income renters in inding and paying for housing. This year,

the agencies received 2,043 ap-

plications for government-sub-

sidized housing during the ive-day application in January. This

is a 500 application increase

from the previous year.

“It’s going to be tight this

year,” LaPoint said.

Housing Works currently

owns 750 units of affordable

housing and has 40 more planned to go up on the east side.

“By increasing our developments we can begin to lessen

the pressure for our clientele,” LaPoint said. “Without that, I

don’t see any way the low vacancy rates could change.”

The organization also provides rental vouchers for low-income renters. Last year, only one quarter of distributed

vouchers were able to be used to the low numbers of available

housing in the area.

Would-be tenants should move quickly if they ind a va-

cant home or apartment, according to LaPoint.

On-campus housing at Central Oregon Community Col-

lege is just as sparse this year. For the current 2014-2015 aca-

demic year housing applications were released to the public

through the housing webpage on approximately May 1, 2014,

according to Paul Wheeler, director of residence life. By June

9, Juniper Hall had received enough applications to be illed to capacity.

“This was a pace we had never experienced before,”

Wheeler said. “We continued to receive housing applica-

tions through the summer and

at one point the waiting list for

Juniper Hall was as large as 20

students.”

In past years, Juniper Hall

typically received enough hous-

ing applications to ill to capac-

ity closer to late August or early

September.

“In most cases not even start

the academic year at full capac-

ity due to applications later be-

ing withdrawn,” Wheeler said.

The low rental vacancies

which ultimately drive up rent

costs are a good sign for the

college’s future residence hall

slated for completion in late spring or early summer 2015, ac-

cording to Megan Bernard, resident director at Juniper Hall.

“It [not good] for other people but it’s really good for Ju-

niper Hall and for our goal of getting 300 students in the new

residence hall for fall 2015,” Bernard said.

Unique insights into the things that shape our

communityFeatures6 The Broadside | October 15, 2014

Richard Robinson

What got you started in politics

and where do you hope to end up?

I was class president at Bend Senior

High, that is where I got the ambi-

tion to be in politics. I hope to end

up being a city councilor. I enjoy and

like politics. I want to be a part of the

political community of Bend.

Why did you decide to run for the

position of City Councilor?

I decided to run for the position of

Bend City Councilor to be more part

of the community and to represent

those who are underprivileged. God

bless America for giving me the right

to run and have the chance to make

my dream come true. That is why I

am proud to be an American.

How has your past experience

prepared you to represent the city in

this position?

My past experience with civic

activities is as follows. Bend Parks

and Rec, ARC Board as a self ad-

vocate, Deschutes County Council

on Accessibility, Communications

Representative for COTP (Central

Oregon Transition Plus), BEAT (Bend

Experimental Art Theater). I have met

a lot of people through these organi-

zations and have an understanding of

peoples’ needs in Bend that often gets

overlooked.

If elected, what are your top pri-

orities?

My top priorities are public safety,

that taxpayers get more bang for

their buck, and to uplift the poor and

handicapped.

Ron Boozell

What got you started in politics and

where do you hope to end up?

I am the only non-partisan in a non-

partisan city council race. I am a disen-

franchised voter. I am a social-liberal,

and a iscal conservative.First, I got into party-politics two

decades ago, at one point served on the

state board of my Party. I discovered

that the parties are the problem. Money

in political campaigns is the problem.

Five years ago I discovered lo-

cal action. I really got started going

to meetings to learn more about my

city. I am a community volunteer. I

am a Conservator of the Bend I love. I

believe in indieBENDence. Economic

and environmental sustainability. This

is where I end up.



Too many residents and business-

people of Bend are unrepresented

by our present council. Largely, our

present council represents corporate

thinking. We need something different.

We must vote for something different.



this position?

My volunteer experience alone

qualifies me. I have chaired 20 blood

drives, have worked for Marriage

Equality, and have worked for Can-

nabis Decriminalization...and much

more.

I actually represent our commu-

nity. I’ve been a business owner and

employer. I waited tables for years. I

have not missed a Bend City Council

meeting in over a year. I go to lots

of meetings. This is the third time I

have placed my name on the ballot for

consideration.

If elected, what are your top priori-

ties?

SLOWER SMARTER GROWTH. A

working-class-friendly City.

Reliable 24/7 Transit. Renter Secu-

rity. Free Beer.

Lisa Seales



I never aspired to a career in poli-

tics. In fact, like many people these

days, I currently feel very disenfran-

chised by the whole political process

in our country. However, the idea of

running for Bend City Council was

recently presented to me, and the more

I thought about it, the more I real-

ized this is a great opportunity to put

my skills, experience, and education

to work to affect positive change in a

community I love.

I plan to continue working as an

educator, research scientist, and public

servant, aimed at finding ways to bal-

ance conservation and growth/devel-

opment. As the population increases

and resources become more limited,

we need to find smarter ways to move

forward. I hope to play a pivotal role

in this process.



I fell in love with Bend when I

moved here to carry out research for

my doctorate, and decided to make

it my permanent home. Bend is at a

crossroads; it’s growing and changing

quickly. In the wake of that growth

and change, I want to ensure that all

the things we love about Bend are pre-

served and enhanced for all residents

and communities. I believe this can

happen through partnership building,

public participation, responsible plan-

ning, and transparency in government.

I decided to run so I could play a key

role in championing these causes and

helping Bend move forward through

this critical time.



this position?

The focus of my doctoral research

and education was collaborative

resource management. I have training

in mediation, facilitation, and conflict

resolution, along with experience col-

laborating in multi- or interdisciplin-

ary team efforts aimed at solving some

of the world’s most vexing problems.

I’m good at doing research, critically

evaluating information, and balanc-

ing trade-offs that are an inherent part

of all the major issue facing our city

and the globe. All of these skills have

prepared me well to represent the city

as a member of city council

If elected, what are your top pri-

orities?

If elected, I want to be a voice that

represents all Bend citizens. I would

like to increase public participation

and transparency in government.

Together, I am confident that we can

find a way to preserve all the things

we love about Bend, and adequately

balance conservation and growth in

our community.

Casey Roats



I started in politics by being active

on the Committee to Bridge our Com-

munity back in 2001. It was the voter

referendum that created the South-

ern River Crossing at the Bill Healy

Memorial Bridge. Voters approved the

construction of Reed Market Rd across

the Deschutes River. I used the same

bridge daily to get to classes at COCC

when I went to school there.

My only aspiration in politics at

this point is to serve on City Council.

I have a young family and business to

run. I wouldn’t have time for anything

else for many years to come.



I decided to run for City Coun-

cil in hopes that when my daughters

reach the age where they need higher

education, their own housing, employ-

ment and good schools for their kids,

it might be there for them. I don’t feel

as though all of those needs are being

adequately met now.



this position?

I have spent the last 4 years serving

on the Infrastructure Advisory Com-

mittee, Sewer Infrastructure Advisory

Group and Water Treatment Advisory

Committee. Those committees all dealt

with the largest projects in the history

of the City. I feel as though all can-

didates should spend time on one of

the 18 citizen committees to get up to

speed on the issues facing the City.

If elected, what are your top priori-

ties?

My top priorities are providing

for adequate funding for police/fire

services, help provide for workforce

and student housing that is actually

affordable, and maintaining the City’s

unique identity as a great place to live.

There are a few things you can do with your resume to beef it up, no matter what

you’ve done—or haven’t done. Let’s turn that quarter-page resume into some-

thing that can help you get a job!

Start with Lists, Not a Resume

Since you’re starting from scratch (or starting over) with your resume,

let’s put the resume format aside for a moment. Start with just making lists of

your skills, talents, accomplishments, and achievements. Don’t worry about

shoehorning them into the resume format, you can do that later. First, think about

all of your accomplishments, large and small. Depending on where you are in

your career and the types of jobs you’re applying for, even small wins can help

you stand out, so don’t be afraid to toot your own horn. If you’re looking for your

irst job or an internship, well-received papers or relevant projects you worked on academically should deinitely go in your list. If you’re switching careers, think about any accomplishments in your previous jobs that relect universal skills, like leading a project, juggling deadlines, or convincing people to work

together. Even writing documentation is a big deal.

Don’t be shy with your list. You can always whittle it down later, and

it’s better to have more items to choose from than fewer. Plus, having a big list of

accomplishments and achievements will let you pick and choose which are most

relevant to the job you want, and customize your resume for each. Then, before

you move everything over to your resume, you can remove common phrases and

overused cliches when it’s time to put it in the right format.

Leverage All Of Your Experiences and Accomplishments

If the only experiences and accomplishments on your resume are profes-

sional ones, that’s ine, as long as it’s all you need for the job you want. However, don’t leave valuable accomplishments and experience off of your resume just

because it wasn’t in a professional setting. If you have other relevant experience,

or you’re worried about including academic, volunteer, or even personal work

you’ve done, don’t be! It’s all valuable, and it could be the thing that sets you

apart from other applicants, as long as its useful and not outdated.

Don’t Make It Longer than It Needs to Be

Finally, one trap to avoid when you’re starting with a short resume is

to make it too long with luff. You have your list of achievements, accomplish-

ments, relevant experience, and volunteer work—leave it at that, and begin to

work it all into the resume format. Don’t force it to a single page with a vague

or unnecessary “objective” statement, or pad the bottom with a detailed list of

the courses you took in college and what your GPA was. If that information is

required, you’ll be asked for it.

It may seem backwards to suggest you keep brevity in mind when your

primary worry is not having enough to ill a resume, but it’s important. Being concise and relevant is better than stretching to ill pages or include sections that don’t need to be there. There are many examples online, or at the Career Services

ofice. Stick to the good stuff, make it look nice, and keep it brief. You’ll have a resume that stands above the other applicants for the job.

Poetry in Public Places

Roses are red, violets are blue, COCC’s poetry

class created this for you. This selection is the

irst in a term long series of poems selected and submitted by the college’s creative writing poetry class. Frozen Moments was chosen as a popular choice by the class.

Frozen Moments by Lily Wisner

I breathe in the cold, crisp air

the bridge, lying across the river welcomes me

like a lover might

too trample and use

and say I was there.

So many have been there before me

their footprints have raped the virgin snow.

The river whines and beckons and I answer the

low, haunting cry.

With my thanks, I mar the fallen snow, as if I too

would leave my mark within her winter heart.

Frozen water clings to a fallen tree

The dead protecting the temporary

Irony too beautiful…too ghastly not to appreciate.

As the rush of the river races by,

I remember how fragile it all is.

I give thanks for what I feel in this passing moment.

Not for what I might have on some future day

Not for what I may have once known

But for only this moment.

The one racing by me now!

The next one may be too tragic, too precious, too late.

How Can I Build a Resume When I Have Nothing

to Put On It?

Ally Thompson’s unusual teaching

style has seen great results.

Thompson, a Health and Human

Performance instructor, graduated

from Central Oregon Community

College with an associates degree

and is now a certiied personal trainer through American College

of Sports Medicine and founded

her own business called BodyRock

personal itness in 2008.“Having the credentials and de-

gree gave me conidence,” Thomp-

son said.

For six years, Thompson has

taught an average of four classes

each semester at COCC.

“The students that prove me

wrong are the reason that I love my

job. Those are the people that blow

my mind, they inspire me to push

myself harder,” Thompson said.

Thompson is also currently train-

ing with her iance for the GORUCK on Oct. 24 in Las Vegas.

“I believe that you have to sur-

round yourself with people who

share your interest and priorities

and live the life you want to live,”

Thompson said.

In high school, Thompson was

a runner and considered a career in

the Military but due to reconstructive

surgery on her right ankle was medi-

cally disqualiied. One of Thompson clients, Mi-

chelle Riley, has arthritis and has

lost 80 pounds since she began

one-on-one training with Thomp-

son.

“Even though the arthri-

tis makes everything painful,

[Thompson] has found ways for

me to get in shape and not be in

pain” Riley said.

Both in her teaching and per-

sonal life, Thompson lives by the

motto: “If you want it bad enough

you’ll make it happen, if you don’t

you’ll ind excuses. Don’t com-

plain about the results you didn’t

get for the work you didn’t do.”

◄ Patricia Porter has been painting watercolors for years and took inspiration from her mother, also a painter. Growing up in Bend, Porter has been a part of the First Friday Art Walk for years.

“I try to paint my response to the beauty of nature and simply wish to capture the feeling that nature evokes in me,” Porter said.

► The artists at the Friday Art Walk were experienced in a variety of specialized mediums.

Dyllan McMahon, a talented sketch artist, sticks to portraits done with the simplicity of a pencil and eraser. Throughout the night, McMahon sketched from a photograph a young woman while trying to bring her movements to life with each stroke of the pencil.

McMahon displayed his art in the Element 909 Aveda Men’s Salon.

“Art is just what I do,” McMahon said.

► Ann Switzer, a former COCC student and local artist, grew up in an Italian family and displayed art representing her childhood life.

Switzer said that the “old reminiscences” of her childhood, “are as important to [her] as they ever were.”

For one autumn week in

downtown Bend, the annual

BendFilm Festival transforms

scattered local theatres into a

cultural venue where “Indie

Art” is the vernacular.

During the four day festi-

val, Bend theaters hosted 95

independent ilms ranging from short ilms to documen-

taries and dramas to com-

edies.

“The vision is to provide

the opportunity for a culture

to look at itself...anyone can

pick up a camera and tell their

story. With the FilmFest, co-

lossal stories are leaking out,”

said Todd Looby, Director of

the Film Festival.

While the festival is a safe

environment for ilmmak-

ers to come and share their

art, viewers are expected to

be challenged, changed and

wowed with the unconven-

tionally new.

“Film is the most immedi-

ate form of art—a snapshot

that engages with a dramatic

story,” said Looby.

Recently, the event has fo-

cussed its efforts to support

local ilmmakers and student ilmmakers in the area. The organization has reached

out to reservations in Warm

Springs, inspiring resident

artists and providing them

with the opportunity to create

their untold stories.

“BendFilm is a community

service, a cultural outlet like

few others,” Looby said.

The cultural scene in Bend

lends itself to the type of ven-

ue suitable for independent

ilm, according to ilm pro-

ducer Ross Putman.

For the lifetime of the fes-

tival, the community of Bend

has rallied behind the festival,

illing seven local theatres with non-stop entertainment

staffed by an army of volun-

teers.

“Bend has welcomed us

with open arms,” Putman said.

“I want to recommend this to

every ilmmaker I know.”

This new installment to the beloved

Nintendo ighting franchise has inally reared its head. First, there was just Su-

per Smash Bros, then there was Super

Smash Bros Melee, then there was Su-

per Smash Bros Brawl, and now Super

Smash Bros for 3DS and Wii U.

Is it everything fans wanted from

the next Smash Bros? Well, if you have

been a fan of the franchise since the be-

ginning like I have been, then it most

deinitely is.The series is where Nintendo takes

characters from their most beloved

franchises, such as Samus from Me-

troid, Link from The Legend of Zelda,

and Mario from Mario, and you can

play the characters and duke it out in

a lovely one-on-one to four-on-four

battle. This game is no different to oth-

ers in the franchise, as it keeps its nor-

mal formula: a bunch of characters to

unlock, cool stages, and items that can

either make or break a game.

This new game is on the Ninten-

do 3DS, with a version of the Wii U

coming out sometime before the year

ends. In making the 3DS version por-

table, Nintendo inserted some laws. The most fun part of the game is when

you have a four-on-four battle royale

against opponents. However, with each

character on different parts of the map,

the character models can get small and

easy to lose on the screen.

And, inally, there’s the new mode, Smash Run; It’s fun, but lawed.What you do is run around a huge, expan-

sive stage for ive minutes, looking for items and abilities to use in a small

match against three other players.

While you’re collecting upgrades for speed and defense, the match at the end

is randomized, so you can end up with

all the wrong power-ups. The match

can be a race, and you might’ve not collected enough speed upgrades, leav-

ing you in the dust.

Unfortunately, while the game has

a good online function, Smash Run is

local only, which means you have to

have people near you to play with oth-

ers. If there’s an update in the future to ix this, then I will be happy.

Overall, Super Smash Bros for 3DS

does everything a person would expect

a Smash Bros. game should do.


Super Smash

Bros is still as

great as you

remember

Noah HughesDuring his time at The Broadside, Noah Hughes of Bend explored every aspect of jour-

nalism. From photography to reporting and from pagination to editing, Hughes rotated

through nearly all the sections and did every job very competently . However, it was in

graphic cartooning that Hughes found his passion. Starting fall 2014, Hughes began

his comic strip “On A Lark” about student life as viewed by an action hero. The se-

ries ran in the college newspaper each week and also online for the year. By spring,

Hughes had won a Society of Professional Journalists’ Mark of Excellence award for

editorial cartooning. This annual competition involves a ive-state area with more than 35 community and four-year colleges.

About his Broadside tenure, Hughes says, “Nothing beats hands-on experience,

something that can be achieved at The Broadside.”

Hughes is currently at Portland State University studying graphic design.

Cru-Lifelines creates new chapter at COCC

▲CRU-Lifelines is a non-denominational, Christian-based club that teaches students leadership skills in the outdoors of Central Oregon.

Michael Gary The Broadside

Using the outdoors as

their classroom, the CRU-

Lifelines club seeks to

teach students leadership

and personal development

skills.

CRU-Lifelines is a non-

denominational, Christian-

based outdoors group that

has chapters on college

campuses in several dif-

ferent states and recently

opened one on the Central

Oregon Community Col-

lege campus.

Leah Cook, who stud-

ied human development

and family studies in col-

lege, helped found the

Bend CRU chapter after

she graduated college and

is currently a staff member

of the program.

“I deinitely think clubs are great places for stu-

dents to connect because

I feel that they can meet

new people and learn about

themselves and their pas-

sions,” Cook said. “I think

it is good for the school

unity as well.”

Before Leah was a lead-

er in CRU-Lifelines, she

was a member of a CRU

chapter in college.

“At my university I was

a member of CRU-Life-

lines and it was just really

impactful in my life.”

CRU-Lifelines, goal is

to not only encourage stu-

dents to make friends and

participate in the commu-

nity during college, but to

give them conidence and leadership skills after grad-

uation, according to Liz

Robinson, a CRU intern.

Robinson was in CRU

as an undergraduate stu-

dent at North Carolina

State University where

she studied recreation and

tourism management.

“CRU really helped me

develop in leadership. I

saw myself grow not only

spiritually, but also emo-

tionally,” Robinson said.

“I felt like I was prepared

to leave college and I don’t

think I would have felt that

prepared if I hadn’t been a

part of CRU.”

Audrey Harty, COCC

culinary student, joined

CRU-Lifelines because it

allows her to interact with

other people who are also

interested in the same ac-

tivities.

“I love the outdoors,

I’m from Park City where

it’s another outdoor recre-

ation town and Bend is an

outdoor recreation town so

I wanted to ind a group to do stuff outside with,”

Harty said.

Though their irst friendly match was

cancelled due to ros-

ter complications, the Cen-

tral Oregon rugby team is

looking at a full schedule of

meets and training.

On Oct. 4, the team

intended to face off with

Southern Oregon Universi-

ty in an unoficial -- friend-

ly -- match; however, after

two hours of practice drills

in the heat, the coaches

decided to hold off on the

match for player safety.

With some new play-

ers and seasoned coaches,

the rugby team has some

transitions ahead of them,

according to team captain,

Alexander Esselstrom.

“This season will be

different because we have

younger people. But more

coaches, which will help

the inexperience,” said Es-

selstrom.

This year, the team

gained Hawaiian na-

tives Manu Vete and Loto

Mareko. Both have partici-

pated in rugby in the past.

After the team’s third of-

icial year practicing rugby, Patrick Oldham, president

of the rugby team knows it

will take time and training

to get all the new students

ready to perform.

“We’re gonna have to

work hard; more than nor-

mal. But all the new players

have experience, so I don’t

have any doubt that we can

pick up where we left off

last year,” Oldham said.

The team is coached by

Woody Bennett, Brian Ely

and Doug Strachan. The

level of experience coach-

ing will only be an advan-

tage to the team, according

to Ely.

“At the core, we have

good leaders and a lot of

athleticism,” Ely said. “The

coaches have a great un-

derstanding of the game.

Because of that. They can

help the full spectrum of

players, from beginning to

experienced.”

Even with mostly new

athletes, the team has an

opportunity to compete at

higher levels, according to

Prater.

“I think we can do

something really special

this year, especially as a 3rd

year program, even at the

national level,” Prater said.

The Bobcat rugby

team’s irst match is away,at Oregon Institute of Tech-

nology in Klamath Falls on

October 11th. Their second

match is at home, against

Seattle University on Octo-

ber 18th.

Evidence coming from

everywhere, opponents

have many reasons to be

afraid this season.

After the training on

Oct. 4, Esselstrom com-

mented that overall “the

scrimmage went well.”

“As an inexperienced

team, we learned a lot from

it.” Esselstrom said. “We’re

always looking for people.

Size and experience doesn’t

matter.”
