A community college child-care bill written by stu-dents and faculty at

the college is currently in the February-March Oregon legislative session.

State lawmakers are looking over a bill that State Representative Jason Conger put together with help from Central Oregon Community College staff, faculty and students. House Bill 4084 would “direct Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Develop-ment to administer grant programs,” according to the Oregon State Legisla-ture. The website also specifies that the bill would “use programs for the purpose of distributing funds to com-munity colleges to make child care services available to community college students.”

But before HB 4084 became a topic in the February-March legislative session, it was brought to life by a COCC task force.

COCC Childcare Task ForceIn the spring of 2012, COCC convened a task force

to look into childcare concerns on campus. The task force was sparked by numerous student concerns, ac-cording to Alicia Moore, the dean of students and En-rollment Services for COCC.

“We had a lot of students that thought it was a con-cern,” Moore said. “Overall, we found recommen-dations to show us the range of options we could consider if we decide to go down this pathway in the future.”

The report, which was published this November and released to the cam-pus in February, showed several deficiencies with COCC’s child-

care-friendly ranking. According to the report, while current programs like Paw Prints, Jump Start Family Fun Night

and occasional family-friendly activities do incorporate ele-ments of campus childcare, the number of services on-campus is limited.

The report cited stud-ies like the National Vital Statistics Report - from the National Center for Health

Statistics - that had found the average age for a person to have at least one child is 25.4 years old. According to Enrollment Services at the college, the median age of COCC credit-seeking students is 26.

Added to that, recent FAFSA data for winter term 2013 showed that out of the 79.5 percent of COCC students trying to apply for financial aid, 34.3 percent of those students noted that they had children. Accord-ing to these studies, at the very least about 23 percent of COCC students are juggling college with the added task of raising children.

Enrollment numbers are on the rise at both the Madras and Prineville

extensions. Both Madras and Prineville attribute the growing increase to the convenience the campuses offer and the feeling of home students have from an environment they know and understand, according to learning liaison Shirley Metcalf.

“In many ways, the students of both [Madras and Prineville] branches think of the facilities as a home away from home. They feel welcomed and that, I believe, contributes to the overall success both branches are experiencing,” Metcalf said.

Since the Central Oregon Community College Madras extension opened back in 2011, the enrollment number has been steadily escalating, with the COCC branch experiencing a 38 percent increase, the highest to-date. The trend has been attributed to the Madras extension expanding its current curriculum.

After recent fundraising efforts, Oregon State University-Cascades is ready to develop new land parcels with over

$24 million in recently-acquired funding.Fundraising efforts

OSU-Cascades received a $16 million bond from the Oregon legislature in the summer of

2013 for campus expansion, but the branch campus still had to “prove its worth,” according to Becky Johnson, the vice president for OSU-Cascades.

“It really started a year ago when the Oregon University System approved us to become a

four-year university,” Johnson said. “Before they gave us that approval they said they’d like to see some sign of community support. They said money speaks louder than words, so instead of writing a lot of letters they wanted to see if we could actually raise some money in support of a four-year university.”

This sparked several efforts for campus fundraising. After the request from the Oregon University System, OSU-Cascades set a goal of raising $1 million in six weeks. The cam-pus asked supporters to come up with $25,000 each, a goal that was met in the allocated time.

More than enough support was leveraged for the initial effort, according to Johnson.

“We ended up with about $1.56 million at the end of six weeks,” Johnson said. “The community came out in an unbelievable fash-ion to show their support, and after six weeks the Oregon University System voted to ap-prove the expansion.”

newsCOCC task force tackles student healthcare concerns


Recently gathered informa-tion about the future of campus healthcare may no

longer be valid with coming of the Affordable Care Act. Following studies that started as early as 2012, the Central Oregon Community College Student Healthcare Task Force released the results of their work to the public this February.

The bulk of the research was on future campus student healthcare options, according to Paul Wheeler, the director of Residence Life and an administrative representative on the task force.

"A lot of what we did on the task force was the information-gather-ing,” Wheeler said, “trying to figure out what was out there in the state of Oregon. Just looking at what other colleges do, what options are available for bringing health care services either to campus or bring-ing students to health care services that already exist in the commu-nity."

The task force conducted a sur-vey in the summer of 2012 that found 75.7 percent of COCC stu-dents viewed student healthcare as a concern, and 25.5 percent of the respondents viewed a "limited or lack of affordable or reliable health care" as a major hindrance to en-joying college.

The task force found four po-tential options to address health-care concerns. The first option would provide an on-campus clinic for students, allowing them to address needs while at COCC.

The second option would give COCC students vouchers for off-campus clinics. The third option discussed would keep COCC at more of a hands-off approach, providing information on ben-efits through the Affordable Care Act. Lastly, the fourth option would implement no changes, keeping COCC at its current sta-tus of no services provided.

The first option, an option to put in a healthcare clinic, has been tried at Lane County Com-munity College. The college put in a healthcare clinic through student fees that has been suc-cessfully in operation for over 20 years. However, the existence of the healthcare clinic on-campus may correlate with LCC’s rank-ing as having one of the highest community college tuition rates in the state.

Overall, community col-leges in Oregon with on-campus healthcare services are a rarity, according to Wheeler.

"Most other community colleges have a statement to some effect about health-care services on their webpage, but usually they don't pro-vide it or they don't provide health insurance," Wheeler said. "Students are recommended to get their own health insurance at their own ex-pense."

While student healthcare was seen as a large student concern at COCC in 2012, other changes are afoot. With the rise of the Afford-able Care Act, the study may already have outdated itself, according to Alicia Moore, the dean of students and Enrollment Services for COCC.

"It's only two and a half years since that survey, but in that time health care in Oregon and the United States has changed dramatically," Moore said. "I'd like to take another six months, let all the services work out a lot of their kinks that they have, and then do a survey like that again to see if this is as pressing of a need or if national reform has positively impacted these numbers."

When the task force started dis-cussing student healthcare concerns in 2012, the range of available health-care was still limited. Now, as the Affordable Care Act is making health coverage mandatory for em-ployees working 30 hours or more a week, student concerns may be diminishing. Students should see more healthcare options in the near future, according to Moore.

"Before we make a decision we need to take this information, step back and look at the new healthcare laws, and then make an even more informed decision," Moore said. "We may need to pause and look at -is healthcare as inaccessible to stu-dents as it used to be? Or have the new changes in health care regula-tions changed that?"

Meanwhile, a setback to imple-menting task force suggestions is a lack of available money, according to Moore.

"I think one of the biggest chal-lenges from an administrative standpoint is that we have a lot of

student needs," Moore said. "Do we put money towards health-care? Do we put money towards childcare? Do we put money to-wards veteran services? Do we put money towards academic advising, new faculty, buildings? It's just hard to find the balance."

Until the campus finds that happy medium, the report from the Healthcare Task Force might be gathering dust in the back-ground, according to Wheeler.

"Our drive was never to come out of this with 'this is what COCC must do,'" Wheeler said.

The task force might help with future initiation if COCC can provide the funds, according to Moore.

"Now we have the informa-tion we need to be able to make a decision," Moore said. "[The report] is there if we come to a place where we could financially afford something.”

ENROLLMENT, from page 1

“We have made a real effort to provide students with more classes, and more mixed cours-es,” said Courtney Snead, Ma-dras Campus coordinator. “The [COCC] branch has gone from offering nine classes the very first fall we opened, to now offer-ing close to 24 classes students can choose from.”

Prineville has experienced a 20 percent enrollment increase. Here, the increment is mainly attributed to the convenience of having a new local campus, ac-cording to Suzy Kristensen, the Prineville campus coordinator.

“Students like having the lo-cal facility here, which makes it easy for them to attend classes, as opposed to having to com-mute to Redmond or even Bend,” Kristensen said.

The growth in student popula-tion is a result of the higher qual-ity of learning that takes place within the walls of the class-room, according to Dr. James Middleton, president of COCC.

“When we see an increase like this it really speaks to us, telling us that we are do-ing something right,” Middle-ton said. “With the choices students nowadays have for a higher education, it really does show that COCC is a good source to fulfill and surpass those needs. Since we are lo-cal, we’re more affordable, but that doesn't take away from the quality of education [students] receive to help achieve their goals.”

Having an increase of this size in student volume will not be changing COCC’s legislative funding.

“At this point, it does not af-fect it in many ways because the state has frozen how much we get,” Middleton said. “Al-though, if the trend continues and we have an even bigger increase than what we’ve seen, then it would have to be revised for the 2014-2015 school year.”

Surges in attendance of this kind come with some challenges,

but faculty and staff are work-ing together to deliver the type of learning that has become a staple of COCC.

“The biggest challenge we face is delivering the same high-quality learning environment on the ex-tensions as we do here in Bend,” Middleton said. “Class sizes are the biggest difference between the Madras, Prineville campuses and the Bend one. You may see a class size of 30 here in Bend, which is the norm, but in Madras that norm might be 10 or 15.”

Teachers like Sociology Profes-sor Del Cornett, who next semester will be instructing a course in Prin-eville, or Math Professor Doug Nelson, who teaches in Bend, Prineville and Madras, are setting examples to follow, Metcalf said.

“We are very much proud of our full-time tenure staff who not only teach in Bend but also enjoy going to teach on the extensions,” Metcalf said. “It shows the level of commitment the faculty has to teaching students the very best way possible.”

Delivering an innovative ap-proach to learning as well as a growth-encouraging environment seems to be the way to continue the enrollment increase, according to extension leaders Snead, Kris-tensen and Metcalf.

“Based on the success we’ve seen so far in both Madras and Prineville, I’m hopeful it will only get better,” Metcalf said. “We see a little increase, or in this case a lot every year, and I think next year won’t be any different.”

How will the residence hall affect Barber Library and Mazama?Molly SvendsenThe Broadside

The two buildings closest in proximity to the cho-sen spot for COCC’s in-

coming residence hall - Mazama gym and Barber Library - will be heavily affected by the change.Barber Library

Barber Library will be up-ping their expectations of traffic, according to Tina Hovekamp, interim library director.

“My feeling is that the pres-ence of [an additional] residence hall may increase business in our library, especially during evenings and weekends, which is wonderful,” Hovekamp said.

The library is a central part of the campus and an increase in students on campus puts greater importance on that, according to Hovekamp.

“Having students on our campus beyond their daily class meetings creates more of an en-vironment of commitment to a campus community, in which the library is certainly a central part,” Hovekamp said.

Typically, students who live on a college campus are more likely to access services such

as the Barber Library, Hov-ekamp explained.

“The problem with com-munity college student popu-lations often is that student experiences mainly come from the classroom, since these students have very little time to spend on campus, even for study time,” Hovekamp said. “Barber Library offers a beau-tiful, welcoming place for stu-dents to meet and study that we hope those residing in the halls will be able to fully take advantage of during all library hours.”Mazama Gym

Mazama Gym staff are al-ready meeting to discuss how the residence hall will affect Mazama gym, according to Julie Downing, chair of the COCC Health and Human Per-formance Department.

“In the plans that were cre-ated for the new residence hall, there is no allotment for a fit-ness area within the residence hall,” Downing said. “This is mostly due to budgetary con-straints within the planning process.”

The new residence hall will be able to house 330 students, and even if 20 percent of the

students utilized Mazama gym, that would be 65 students, Downing said.

“I would anticipate that we would extend hours and hire more people,” Downing said. “There has also been discus-sion about possibly creating a larger space to accommodate for more students.”

One of the ways that has been discussed to help cre-ate more space for gym users is to combine the classrooms 101 and 102 into an additional workout space, according to Downing.

“Larger universities have a specific building for recreation and one for recreation class-es,” Downing said. “Because we don’t have that, the general use gym and HHP classes are all in the same building.”

Administration is seeking to be proactive in the planning for how to adjust Mazama gym to accommodate the residence hall, according to Downing.

“Because we are starting to look at it now, we will have sufficient time to put things in place,” Downing said.


CHILDCARE, from page 1

While even the lowest estimate is fairly high, the task force found that comparatively, Central Oregon Community College is not doing much to assist the high numbers of college parents.

ASCOCC set aside $15,000 in the 2006-2007 school year to help college parents with childcare, but while only 24 students were given grants out of the program, the pro-gram "proved cumbersome to ad-minister," according to the Child-care Task Force report, and was promptly defunded the next year.

Following the program's failure, COCC ranks last in the state for a community college of its size to not post information about childcare options, according to public infor-mation from the state of Oregon. This is being fixed, according to Moore, but other issues are not be-ing addressed.

For one, children on campus have stringent limitations on where they can be, or whom they can be with. COCC does not provide on-site childcare or subsidies for off-site childcare, and does not al-low children under the age of 15 on campus or in classes without an instructor's waiver or adult supervi-sion. Some of these restrictions are healthy, according to Moore.

"You can imagine issues that may arise if every person who had a child brought that child to a class-room," Moore said. "I think there are some classrooms where it's just not appropriate to have children present. If you're in a media class talking about sexuality and media, it's probably not a great conversa-tion to have children around."

While the task force did find that several of COCC's current restric-tions had valid reasoning, the cur-rent childcare situation on campus still poses problems.

In a survey conducted by the Childcare Task Force with 411 re-spondents, 74.1 percent identified themselves as current parents, and 85 percent claimed that childcare on campus was a current concern.

While many students on cam-pus voted childcare as being an is-sue, the current budgetary system at COCC would not readily imple-ment a more hands-on solution, ac-cording to Moore.

"My understanding is nationally, childcare centers on campus don't pay for themselves," Moore said. "The cost of providing the services, and then the license requirements, and the insurance requirements and liability issues are so extreme that it is a financial hit to the institution. I don't see that being a feasible option for COCC at this time."

Although the campus itself does not anticipate allocating ma-jor funds any time soon, a COCC

partnership with State Rep. Jason Conger might change the outlook for the campus and every commu-nity college in Oregon.House Bill 4084

As COCC started their Child-care Task Force in 2012 to ad-dress concerns, two employees on campus began looking at childcare solutions: Taran Smith and Kurt Killinger. Killinger, the director of Legislative Affairs for COCC, and Smith, the director of Student Life, looked outside the campus for a funding source.

"Kurt Killinger and I drafted [House Bill 4084] with Jason Con-ger earlier this summer," Smith said. "We came to the realization that it's mostly a fiscal issue, and that most community colleges have only been successful when they partner with their state legislator finding general funds money."

Smith and Killinger had men-tioned the task force, and some of the results of the research to State Rep. Jason Conger, after which the local legislator came and asked Smith and Killinger to help draft a

bill. The result, House Bill 4084, is now being discussed in the Febru-ary-March legislative session, according to Smith.

"During the short session, this is one of the two bills that [Conger] proposed," Smith said.

For Smith, there are two highlights about the status of the bill.

"It's a matching program," Smith said. "So it's a one-time, $2 million allocation, and it's not a continuous fund. Also, it's the first bill that has ever made it out of committee for providing funding for childcare on campuses in the state of Oregon."

As the bill is making its way through legislature, it has already gone through several steps. As of Feb. 16, the bill has gone through public hearings, work sessions and development referrals, and has been referred to the Ways and Means Committee. In the middle of that process, Smith and Killinger were able to give testimony from a COCC perspective at the initial leg-islative public hearing.

With the bill past the first hurdle, COCC staff have been gathering support. Smith has been work-ing with Amy Howell, the director of Early Childhood Education at COCC, for childcare advocacy net-works to lobby for the bill's passage through Ways and Means.

Meanwhile, COCC's chance of getting an on-campus childcare center is running against the clock. As of mid-February, the bill still had a number of rounds to make.

"The passage of [HB 4084] through the Ways and Means Committee is the next difficult hurdle," Smith said. "That's where money is actually allocat-

ed to it. That's typically where a lot of bills cannot proceed."

Whether or not the bill is ap-proved this legislative session should be apparent in the next week, according to Smith. But the bill will still have to pass standard with multiple readings, review by committees, passage by both hous-es, approved amendments and a signature from the governor before it becomes more than a written pa-per. The pace should be fast, since the state constitution allows the ses-sion to last no more than 35 days.

Meanwhile, COCC faculty are finding ways to make it hap-pen. Smith has been working with the Oregon Student Association, Oregon Community College Stu-dent Association, a child advocacy group and some other constituents to garner support.

"We've rounded up a variety of constituents that this would affect," Smith said. "There's also a women's collective at Portland State Univer-sity as well. So we've been work-ing to get other entities involved in helping encourage this to go to the state legislature this season."

If the bill does not meet with approval, childcare at COCC may continue to be a limited option for the future, according to Moore.

"When we have a tight budget we have to make hard choices," Moore said. "We're not in the fi-nancial position to put [on-campus childcare] into initiation."

To check on the status of HB 4084 or see if it has been killed due to funding reasons, look on the Or-egon State Capitol website at www.oregonlegislature.gov.

EXPANSION, from page 1

The success in the initial fun-draising prompted further efforts. Next, OSU-Cascades set a private fundraising goal of $4 million, which was met in a variety of ways.

One of the major supporters for the next step was the Oregon Community Foundation. The or-ganization agreed to an initial grant in May of 2013, then pledged an additional matching grant. OSU-Cascades was able to match both grants, according to Christine Cof-fin, the director of Communications and Outreach for OSU-Cascades.

“We received an Oregon Com-munity Foundation Grant, a chal-lenge grant, and they committed $250,000 initially, then $250,000 more if OSU-Cascades raised $500,000 by the end of December," Coffin said. "OSU-Cascades met that goal."

OSU-Cascades also leveraged community support for the expan-sion from places like BendBroad-band and Mount Bachelor. After the $1 million goal was met, the Tykeson Family Foundation - the owners of BendBroadband - of-fered more funding, according to Johnson.

"The Tykeson Family Founda-tion stepped up with a $1 million grant, knowing that we needed to have some really large grants at the beginning," Johnson said. "They believed in higher education and they wanted to show their donors that this was really something that could attract major growth. They launched us on top of the $1.5 million that we got in the initial part."

With the funding from the Tykeson family and local donors, OSU-Cascades had already raised over half of the fundraising goal at the start of the effort. This pro-cess was complemented by an ongoing donation from Mount Bachelor, according to Johnson.

“[Mount Bachelor] has pledged $50,000 a year for five years," Johnson said. "Basically there are discounted ski lift tick-

ets that you can order in the name of OSU-Cascades, and if we sell 1,000 we get the $50,000 dona-tion each year. This hasn't been too hard to meet."

With the support from all across Central Oregon, OSU-Cascades made their $4 million fundraising goal a reality with extra cash to spare, according to Johnson.

"We ended up exceeding the four million dollars goal by a couple hundred thousand dollars," Johnson said.Community support

A unique factor in OSU-Cas-cades' fundraising success was the support leveraged from Central Or-egon businesses and the communi-

ty. While having a university could be seen as a community bonus, OSU-Cascades had little alumni support to count on for their efforts, according to Johnson.

"We do live in a very small community, so this isn't Portland, and we don't have a lot of people to draw on," Johnson said. "Especially we don't have alumni. We've been around for 13 years, so our alumni are not out making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Most of them are still in start-up positions."

Because of the deficit in well-grounded previous students, OSU-Cascades had to find fundraising support in OSU alumni, and, more generically, the community.

"We have been counting on people who just care about Central

Oregon," Johnson said. "A couple of our major donors are in fact Uni-versity of Oregon alumni. So it's very interesting that they don't care about the whole Ducks-Beavers thing, they just care about Central Oregon and they want to make sure that we have a four-year university here."

Central Oregon support sur-prised even OSU-Cascades, ac-cording to Coffin.

“We saw a continual outpouring of people - in Central Oregon - who wanted to help make a four-year university a reality," Coffin said.

The community's contribution to OSU-Cascades starting funds was anticipated by previous com-munity feedback. EDCO, or Eco-

nomic Development for Central Oregon, recruits businesses to Central Oregon and gathers re-sponse about why companies would relocate. The organiza-tion gathered feedback from businesses looking at relocating to Central Oregon, and found they were more likely to move to a place with a four-year uni-versity.

"They [EDCO] said that in-variably one of the first ques-tions that any company would ask them that was thinking about relocating here was, 'Is there a four-year university in Central Oregon?'" Johnson said. "It didn't matter that there was a branch campus, they really wanted to see a four-year uni-

versity. So the business com-munity was a real supporter of this."

As well as having business backing, OSU-Cascades saw ver-bal and monetary support from members of the community during their fundraising efforts, according to Johnson.

"I've believed in [a four-year university] for five years, but I've been told that this has been going on for three decades, in terms of community trying to figure out how to get the state to put a four-year university here in Central Oregon," Johnson said. "When we ended up with the branch campus about 13 years ago, that was just a compro-mise."

That support is continuing with a recent pledge from the Bend Chamber of Commerce. The or-ganization dedicated two pledges, one of them a challenge grant that OSU-Cascades is currently trying to meet, according to Johnson.

"The Bend Chamber of Com-merce gave us $50,000 outright and another $50,000 challenge grant, so we're still working on that," John-son said. "If we meet that $50,000 challenge grant they'll give us an-other $50,000, so that would be another $150,000 total from the Chamber of Commerce."Future efforts

While OSU-Cascades is still working on future fundraisers, the branch campus is now developing the next step: putting the recent $4 million dollars raised, as well as the total $24 million of funds, into ac-tion.

“That $84 million goal, which we exceeded, is going towards physical expansion," Coffin said.

The $4 million from community support leveraged the Oregon legis-lature's $16 million in state bonds, as well as an approved an extra $4 million in borrowing capacity. With the $24 million total, OSU-Cascades is using funds to buy their chosen sites - the 10-acre and 46-acre parcels - and potentially build one of their new facilities.

"That total $4 million will help

buy us 56 acres in land and get us most of the way in building an academic building," Johnson said. "We will also be borrowing funds to build a new residence hall."

While the expansion plan now has money to back it, the fundrais-ing goal only signifies one step in a large process, according to John-son.

"There's no shovels in the ground yet," Johnson said. "We still have to get permits and plans. We have started planning the new building, and faculty, staff and stu-dents will engage with the architect about what type of spaces they'd like to see."

With the $4 million already going into use, now OSU-Cas-cades is preparing for future fun-draising, according to Coffin.

"Part of that never ends," Cof-fin said. "We’re hoping to raise funds for research projects, and then of course we would like to be able to offer more scholar-ships."

Maintaining scholarships for incoming students might become a significant concern for OSU-Cascades. In the last two decades, the OSU Foundation in Corvallis has dedicated $150,000 to OSU-Cascades every year for scholar-ships. But since the allocation was only a kickstart for the branch campus, OSU-Cascades will have several monetary concerns in the future, according to Johnson.

"That's going to run out in about seven years," Johnson said. "We have to start building up endow-ments for new scholarships."

In a larger spectrum, OSU-Cas-cades also expects to continue fun-draising for future additions.

"We want to keep growing as a campus, and this first building we're building is barely big enough to handle the students, faculty and staff that we have right now," John-son said. "We have to be ready to go for another building in about 2017."

Up to 24 million people currently suffer from eating disorders and

only one out of 10 of those re-ceive treatment. Eating disorders are one of the deadliest types of health issues, according to Linda Porzelius, personal counselor at Oregon State University-Cas-cades.

“It is much easier to prevent eating disorders than to treat them,” Porzelius said.

The age at which eating dis-orders are beginning to form is getting lower every year, ac-cording to Porzelius.

“It starts so young now, there are six-year-old girls saying they don’t like their bodies,” Por-

zelius said. “The greatest risk group is high school and college students. A majority of students develop an eating disorder while they are in college.”

This can be a large factor in student success, according to Porzelius.

“Often times people are af-fected to the extreme where they aren’t even doing things with their life because they are so preoccupied with a notion of beauty and body image,” Porze-lius said.

February 23-March 1 is Na-tional Eating Disorder Awareness Week, and to raise awareness, Central Oregon Community Col-lege and OSU-Cascades will be hosting a week of events cen-tered around educating about eat-ing disorders.

Dental care is one of the largest unmet needs for low-income adults, ac-

cording to Kat Mastrangelo. “Dental hygiene and dental

care is one of the most impor-tant aspects of health and also the biggest unmet need,” said Mastrangelo, volunteer coordi-nator at Volunteers In Medicine.

Fortunately, through a part-nership with Central Oregon Community College, that need is beginning to be met in Central Oregon. For the past 10 years, the COCC dental assisting pro-gram has partnered with VIM to provide services for the commu-nity, according to Lynn Murray, dental assisting program coordi-nator at COCC.

“The Dental Clinic is a co-operative endeavor between [COCC] and [VIM] to provide the working poor with unin-sured dental services, and to provide COCC dental assisting students with important clinical experiences,” Murray said.

This partnership has proved to be positive for the commu-nity. An American Dental Asso-ciation study revealed that of the low-income adults who sought

relief from dental pain in hospi-tal emergency rooms, 94 percent left the ER without solving the dental issue, according to Mur-ray.

“For many of these patients, their oral-facial pain affects their ability to work or to keep a job,” Murray said. “These com-munity members can ill afford to miss working hours. For oth-ers, the look of their teeth pre-cludes them from obtaining the position they seek.”

Students get training, give careAs well as providing much-

needed care to low-income indi-viduals, the dental clinic greatly benefits dental assisting students, according to Murray. Students are able to sit chairside with local dentists who volunteer their time to help the COCC Dental Assist-ing Program and VIM patients.

“Students are able to experi-ence first-hand how an assistant interacts with a dentist and with patients,” Murray said.

This partnership allows den-tal assisting students to practice their skills in a variety of ways, according to Murray.

“In addition to providing pa-tient care, students are able to put into practice other skills they have learned, including prevent-ing cross contamination by using aseptic techniques in disinfect-

ing operatories, and processing and sterilizing instruments,” Murray said.

The dental clinic in the Health Careers Building has helped to accommodate and continue to make this program a success, according to Mur-ray.

“This space is perfect for students and patient care,” Murray said. “All operatories are set up and furnished with state-of-the-art equipment. This enables a smooth transi-tion for students to their pract-icum offices, as well as pro-viding volunteer dentists and patients with a professional and up-to-date dental environ-ment.”

The dental assisting pro-gram is only one of many educational programs that VIM partners with, according to Mastrangelo. VIM helps students gain clinical hours from the Masters in Counsel-ing degree at Oregon State University-Cascades, the so-cial work degree from Portland State University, and third year medical students from Oregon Health Science University.

“Each of these programs are different,” Mastrangelo said. “Students are evaluated based on their program require-ments.”

How insurance changes will impact VIM services

Currently a large portion of the population do not yet qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, and

do not earn enough to purchase oral health care.

“Volunteers In Medicine is currently revising its eligi-bility requirements for dental services,” Mastrangelo said. “They are looking into provid-ing services for low-income in-dividuals and those on a fixed income.”

As healthcare becomes nation-ally mandated, VIM will be able to expand the population they cur-rently reach, according to Mas-trangelo. This would expand cov-

erage for students on financial aid without dental coverage or OHP, veterans whose dental needs are not met through provided ser-vices, Medicare recipients, people currently in the Green Card pro-cess, and those who have income but no permanent address.

You are in college and you do not take the bus to school anymore,

so why do you still get snow days? The process is very dif-ferent at Central Oregon Com-munity College.

“The first thing we look at is the highways and the routes getting to campus,” said Ron

Paradis, director of College Relations at COCC. “We look at how safe it is for cars to be able to get to campus, park and leave campus.”

During the average year, COCC does not close for a full day; instead, a two-hour delay or early closing of campus is enacted if necessary. The goal is to always have campus ready to be open, according to Para-dis.

COCC has different criteria than the local school districts for calling a snow day. While the school district makes their decisions based on whether or not their buses can run, COCC bases their decision on the safe-ty of students on campus and the main roads, according to Paradis.

When the roads have wet snow and slush, and the tem-perature is dipping low, that is when campus is closed early. This is because when the slush freezes, it makes the roads very dangerous to travel on, accord-ing to Paradis.

The final decision regarding the status of school being can-celed or delayed falls to Matt McCoy, vice president for ad-ministration at COCC.

“We use many sources to de-termine whether or not to issue a closure,” McCoy said. “These include the city, county, first re-sponders and multiple weather prediction sources. We have eyes and ears in all locations surrounding COCC campuses.”

Students can sign up to be alerted by the Emergency No-tification System by logging onto their Bobcat account and choosing whether they want to be alerted via phone call, text email or all of the above.

The office of college rela-tions also makes every effort possible to notify local media with an informed decision as much in advance as possible, according to McCoy.

Pinckney: How the space and program went from an emblem to an embarrassment, and what lies ahead for COCC’s theater

Past,

Present,

Scott GreenstoneMolly SvendsenThe Broadside

Pinckney Center for the Arts is just another building now, no more prominent or notable than Hitchcock Auditorium or Wille Hall. But 15 years ago it was the epicenter of a theater program that was “the glue that held the fine arts together.” Plays, musicals and even operas were performed every term and every

part of the fine arts department was involved.So what happened?

Pinckney theater was not built until 1983, but the theater program at Central Oregon Commu-nity College was started in the 50s. The theater program was once “the glue that held the fine arts together,” according to Lilli-Ann Linford-Foreman, fine arts instructor and once head of the theater department. From the 1980s through the 1990s, Pinckney Center for the Arts was the center of a vibrant fine arts community that worked together on productions.

“Students from the music department would come and sing in the musicals, students from the art department would design sets,” Foreman said. “It is a real loss to the community.”

The department even had a ballet and modern dance program that was eliminated before the theater program, where students performed for credit through the college, according to Fore-man. Steel Magnolias, Much Ado About Noth-ing, Pippin, and Extremities were just a few of the products of the collaboration.

At the time, there was an existing theater transfer degree for which Foreman taught classes. Through her teaching and her extensive work with COCC theater, she saw the effect the department had on students’ lives.

“Young people formed lifelong friendships,” Foreman said. “I have been in touch with stu-dents from back in the ‘90s and they are still performing theater in the community.”

One of the main people Foreman worked with was costumer Debra Fisher, who built all the outfits for nearly every production. Fisher, who had worked in Ashland at the Shakespeare Festival designing costumes, was nonetheless amazed by the scope of the productions.

“It brought a level of professional theater to Central Oregon that you just didn’t get in com-munity theater,” Fisher said. “Just in the size and scope of the productions, because we put on some pretty big shows for a small company.”

Fisher worked with volunteers in the com-munity and students doing work study to create costumes ranging from Puritan garb to Greek armor.

“Theater, in my opinion, is a team sport for artists,” Fisher said. “We think of artists as of-ten being independent creators, but theater is this group effort, and it really is a team sport.”

But by the time Fisher and Foreman were developing the “team sport” of theater, the pro-gram was already running short on time.

“Theater, in my opinion, is a team sport for artists. We think of artists as often being independent creators, but theater is this group effort and it really is a team sport.”

—Debra Fisher, former costumer for COCC Theater Program

In 2003, as an indirect result of the recession, the state of Oregon disappropriated 16 percent of all funding from community colleges, according to Matt McCoy, vice president for administration at COCC. The college had to shut down the Prin-eville and Madras branch campuses, the sports programs and many other things - the theater pro-gram among them.

The arts and athletics are always first on the chopping block, according to Gordon Price, di-rector of student life. Price is a performance en-thusiast, and wants to see the theater program return to COCC.

Price has encouraged the theater troupe for the last several years to try and revitalize the pro-gram, to mixed results.

“They try every year, but like any club, par-ticipation waxes and wanes unless they’re tied to a program,” Price said. “Most of your student in-

“It’s an embarrassment that the thriving fine arts department that we have doesn’t have an active performance theater program.”

terest groups have a harder time sustaining them-selves.”

The community connection as well just isn’t there, according to Price, who attended the the-ater troupe’s show White People in spring of 2013.

“I went to a show and there were six people there,” Price said.

Pinckney still is not empty: Rehearsals, the-ater classes, dance recitals and even figure draw-ing classes take place in the center.

But campus services does not rent Pinckney to outside sources anymore, because of the liability of renting and the state that Pinckney is in, ac-cording to Michael Gesme, chair of the Fine Arts and Communication department.

“The room is not a great representation to the community of the image we’d like to project,” Gesme said. “It needs a huge upgrade.”

“In looking at the demand for the program and the cost of operating the program, the determina-tion has been made not to pursue that program,” McCoy said. “Having said that, it is worth recon-sidering the decision from time to time.”

And reconsider they have: In the last 10 years, Foreman has submitted three proposals to regain the theater degree. But the answer is no every time.

COCC administration is looking at the many different facets of starting or restarting a pro-gram: The demand by the community, potential for growth, operating cost, willingness of the community to invest in the program and espe-cially job opportunities for graduates.

Even if a degree does provide job opportuni-ties, McCoy said, they might not be the best op-portunities.

“We used to have a turf grass management cer-tificate,” McCoy said. “Though there are many golf courses around, the job opportunities don’t provide the living wage that we would hope our graduates would have.”

While the theater program may be low on the priority list of the college, it is not low on the

priority list of the Fine Arts and Communication department, according to Gesme.

“It’s an embarrassment,” Gesme said, “that the thriving fine arts department that we have doesn’t have an active performance theater program.”

As department chair, one of Gesme’s “wishes” is to return Pinckney at least to a place where the college can rent it out once more. But what this would mean, besides a remodel, is a “point person” in a staff position who can maintain the facility.

The college is still far away from offering what it used to where theater is concerned, and there are no real indications of the theater program re-turning, according to Foreman. But she maintains that a college theater program is uniquely impor-tant.

“A college theater program offers students the opportunity to hone personal skills and discover and grow in a way that is not true in any other college course,” Foreman said. “By not having that, we lost significant opportunity for personal growth and enrichment.”

To Joshua Clifton, music is “one of the coolest forms of communica-

tion ever.”“You can put your own spin

on things and you can always tell who is performing based off their specific music style,” Clifton said.

After taking a music theory class in his senior year of high school, Clifton was inspired to begin arranging music.

“My high school music the-ory instructor was so passion-ate about music and arrang-ing pieces and that really just sparked an interest and opened up this whole music scene,” Clifton said.

This interest in music has guided Clifton’s career path and he is currently a second year music major at Central Oregon Community College.

Clifton’s main focus in music is vocal performance and spe-cifically acapella music.

“Acapella is done entirely with the voice,” Clifton said. “I love the idea of being able to take an instrumental song and make it vocal. When good aca-pella is performed, it doesn’t even need a microphone, it can be performed live.”

Clifton has already arranged and performed a wide variety of acapella covers from con-temporary musicians.

“I took a special interest to arranging covers,” Clifton said. “I’ve arranged acapella cover music for everything from “Titanium” by David Guetta to “Royals” by Lorde. It is always an exciting chal-lenge to take a modern song and create a unique cover for it. Studio acapella is harder be-cause it is all done electroni-cally instead of regular aca-pella done just with the voice.”

One of Clifton’s musical in-spirations is his music profes-

sor at Central Oregon Community College, Jim Knox.

“He is a genius pianist and great vocalist. He can hear the crazi-est chords,” Clifton said. “What he likes to do and is so passionate about, and how willing he is to help has been a real inspiration for me.”

Clifton hopes his degree will help fulfill his dream to be a teach-er, music arranger and composer.

How can you make math fun and interesting? By getting together with like-minded

students who share a common goal. This can be done by joining the newly-formed Math Leaders Of Central Oregon Club at Central Or-egon Community College.

Math LOCO’s main goal is to foster an appreciation of mathemat-ics in the community through com-munity involvement. This comes by exploring creative aspects of math as they may pertain to ap-plications through the hosting of events and presentations, according to their mission statement.

“We’re making discoveries that are simply curiosities, and we later find applications for these, such as for the imaginary unit i,” said Eliza-beth Coleman, a math instructor at COCC and the advisor for the Math LOCO Club.

Coleman would like to see the Math LOCO Club develop to ben-

efit students in a variety of ways. These would include having pre-sentations on the math major, going to graduate school and what math is good for in daily life.

Michael Lopez, club president of Math LOCO, hopes any student will come to learn more about this topic. The club is aimed to help students from all grades to not just enjoy math, but to enjoy learning, according to Lopez.

“If you really enjoy math, then come. If you struggle with math, then come. If you are in between the previous two, then come,” Lo-pez said. “If you know anyone who you think might benefit from this club, invite them as well.”

Coleman’s responsibility as an advisor is to guide students in the right direction, and her enthusiasm is an asset to the club in its begin-ning stages.

“I like math because it’s like a puzzle,” Coleman said. “When I got to calculus, math just blos-somed for me. There’s creativity in finding the solutions to problems.”

Keeping students safe from the sidelines: Claire Irvine, COCC rugby trainer

Sports have always been a passion for Claire Ir-vine, the athletic trainer

for the Central Oregon Com-munity College rugby team.“I always played sports when I was younger,” Irvine said. “Athletics is a huge part of my life that I enjoy.”

Claire Irvine has been the athletic trainer for the COCC Bobcats since the spring of 2013. She graduated from Eastern Washington University with a Bachelor’s in Athletic Training and Board of Certifi-cation. She has also completed her Master’s degree in Sports Management at Kansas State University. 70 percent of athlet-ic trainers graduate college with a Master’s, according to Irvine. Irvine herself is among that 70 percent.

Irvine was approached by Coach Bennett through the Center Foundation, a local medi-cal sponsor of the rugby team at COCC. The Bobcats were looking for someone to help in assisting the prevention of injuries on the rugby field, especially concussions.

“They approached the Center [Founda-tion] looking for a concussion specialist,” Irvine explained. “I decided to sign on and delivered their impact test, and began attend-ing games.”

Impact tests are tests that are given to all athletes to develop a mental baseline to help assist in the diagnosis and treatment of all head injuries. When an athlete receives a head injury, medical providers refer back to the baseline developed through the impact test to help treat the patient and send them on

the road to recovery. Impact tests and base-lines have played a large role in the treatment of concussions in all sports, according to Ir-vine.

However, preventing concussions is not the only thing Irvine does for the COCC Bobcats. Like other trainers in the field of sports medicine, Irvine works to ensure that all members of the rugby team are safe when participating in games.

“I do a lot of pre-game wrapping to pre-vent possible injury,” Irvine said.

When the inevitable injury does occur on the field, Irvine is the first to respond. She quickly does a medical assessment, treats the injury and releases the athlete back into the game if the injury allows such action. In a high-contact sport like rugby, Irvine finds herself constantly moving on the sidelines.

“They keep me busy during games,” Ir-vine said.
