The campus student gov-ernment recently found they were nearly $50

thousand short in their bud-get.

Following recent funds requests from the Associated Students of Central Oregon Commu-nity College for transpor-tation to attend legislative and leadership conferences, ASCOCC director of fiscal operations Shanelle Allen enacted a spending freeze on the budget. The reason for a freeze: A chunk of the student government budget not accounted for, according to a Feb. 18 email from Allen to the stu-dent government.

“Upon going through the current budget and spending, Taran and my-

self have come to see that we are $50,000 in our budget due to lower enrollment and budget roll-over,” Allen wrote.

Missing fundsAmber Ruedi, the director of

Student Affairs for the student council, was one of the first to question the source of the missing funds in an email to the student council.

“This is a bit of a disturbing finding all around,” Ruedi said.

“Hopefully you do not find that we are further in the negative. … I have a lot of concerns and ques-tions for the future of ASCOCC.”However, the funding was only a

budget oversight, according to Allen.

MeetCOCCpresidentialfinalistDanaYoungConcerns:Betterparking,childcareandstudentinvolvement

Junnelle HogenThe Broadside

If Dana Young is selected for college president, she will not change a thing in her first six months.

“The first six months, what I’d like to do is walk around and meet people, talk to them, learn about the different departments, and learn about what the needs on campus are,” Young said.

The first of three college presidential finalists recently traveled to Central Oregon Community College to meet faculty, students and the community. Dana Young spent Feb. 24 and 25 on the COCC Bend campus and branch campuses. This campus visit is one of the final processes for the three presidential finalists.

The current president of Treasure

Valley Community College in Ontario, Oregon, Young has spent the majority of her career working at colleges.

Young started as a secretary to the dean of Student Services at Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton, Oregon. While working her way through a Bachelor’s of Science in business economy and a master’s in business administration, Young continued to seek out college employment.

“During that same time I was working my way up and through the ranks, if you will,” Young said. “I came back in through the financial aid door, and I was a financial aid advisor. Then I was registrar, and then I took over recruitment, and retention, and athletics and all of the support services.”

Young ended up taking a job as vice president of student affairs at Northwest Community College in Wyoming. At the college, Young specialized in issues such as student childcare, housing and health services. While increasing her college expertise, Young decided to come back to her native state.

“Treasure Valley Community College had a presidency opening, and being from the Eastern Oregon region, I applied for the position, and was a successful candidate,” Young said. “I started there almost four years ago now, and have been the president there since.”

Young will be receiving a doctorate in community college leadership from Colorado State University in the next few months. Experience-wise, Young rates her strengths on several levels.

Jeff Rauenbuehler and Nat Taie were heading back to the dorms on Feb. 27 like

they do every evening.“I was just crossing the cross-

walk,” Rauenbuehler said. “I saw a car coming, so I started kind of jogging, thinking he’d slow down.”

The driver didn’t slow down, however, and both Rauenbuehler and Taie were hit at approximate-ly 5:30 p.m.

“I fell to the ground, my face to the ground,” Rauenbuehler said. “My first thought was ‘I’ve got to get out of the road.’”

Taie was hit in the leg, but Rauenbuehler took the hit in the head.

Tracy Glover, manager of the Campus Center Coffeeshop, did not see the accident but was alerted of the event when Rauen-buehler and Taie came in.

“They came in looking for napkins for [Rauenbuehler’s] bleeding head and I said ‘I need to call Campus Public Safety,’” Glover said.

Campus Public Safety officer Adam Neider was the first to re-spond. He called the Bend Police Department immediately.

The driver, Jeffrey Valadez, was reportedly arrested for driv-ing under the influence of intoxi-cants, reckless driving and two counts of third degree assault.

Rauenbuehler had a friend drive him to the hospital.

NHCorrectionsIn the article “Bill written in part by COCC employees goes to state” in the Feb. 26 issue, the article stated that House Bill 4084 had been written by “students and faculty” at COCC. Students and staff were involved with the process, but no faculty. Also, Kurt Killinger was incorrectly identified as “the director of legislative affairs for COCC.” Also, the caption for the photo on page four stated that Killinger and Smith had “met with Oregon legislature to propose House Bill 4084.” This was not the case: Smith and Killinger were testifying at a legislative public hearing in Salem for House Bill 4084.The Feb. 19 article “Are on-campus students more involved?” said that Kayla Miller was a resident assistant in 2012-2013. According to Paul Wheeler, housing director at COCC, Miller was just a dorm resident, not a resident assistant.The Broadside regrets these errors.

FINALISTS, from page 1

“I’ve dealt a lot with raising scholarships for students, work-ing with donors, applying for grants and connecting with the community,” Young said. “Each finalist has different strengths, and I think these are mine.”

Her workforce knowledge has already given her potential presidency focuses for COCC. For one, Young thinks COCC’s branch campuses should be spe-cialized.

“I have a lot of experience with branch campuses, so I really appreciate we have that,” Young said. “I think that each of them needs to have their unique set of programs. They’re the best people to tell us what they need.”

Young is also supportive of campus growth. For her, both working out a purchase with Or-egon State University-Cascades for Cascades Hall and building COCC’s approved new residence hall are two ways to foster devel-opment.

With a background in resi-dence halls through student af-

fairs, Young believes developing housing attracts students.

“One of the major things that will contribute to keep-ing COCC’s growth is helpful housing,” Young said. “The new residence hall is important for me. I think that on campus, students are more engaged, and stay longer. Students vote with their feet.”

Other areas Young would work on if chosen as presi-dent would include improv-ing parking, adding to student services like counseling and tutoring, and encouraging stu-dent employment. Young also encouraged a partnership with OSU-Cascades. She met with OSU-Cascades Vice President Becky Johnson during her visit to discuss future collabora-tions.

“I think that will be a good conversation for me to see where OSU is headed and what their thinking is,” Young said. “I think COCC will grow as a result of OSU being here. Hopefully there will be an agreement between us that we

continue to offer courses that can tie into their degrees.”

Young also believes student childcare is important. At least 25 percent of community college stu-dents take classes while raising kids, and not having on-campus resources can discourage potential students, according to Young.

“Those costs can be upwards of $500 or $600 a month per child,” Young said. “There’s a childcare bill in the legislature right now [HB 4084] … and it gives us some hope that childcare is possible for stu-dents. Daycare can be cost-prohib-itive. It can keep you from going to college.”

If selected, Young said she would look forward to working with the college.

“Central Oregon Community College is one of the best, if not the best community college in the state of Oregon, and this is the college to aspire to in my opinion,” Young said. “Great image, high level of faculty and staff. I think there’s all kind of potential for innovative growth, there’s energy here.”

newsOSU-Cascades finalizes 10-acre land purchase, moves on to public comment

Junnelle HogenThe Broadside

After months of planning and searching across Bend, on Feb. 13 Oregon

State University-Cascades paid $5 million and signed the papers for their 10-acre land purchase.

The chosen property, located off of Southwest Century Drive and Chandler Avenue, has already

been considered as a final option for the last few months. The land purchase finalization is another facet to the continuing process, according to Kelly Sparks, OSU-Cascades project manager.

“This is something that we’ve been expecting for a while,” Sparks said. “It’s basically the formal process for something in the works for some time.”

While the land purchase may have been anticipated, it is still eliciting community response.

Bend City Councilor Mark Ca-pell hailed the land purchase as a step in the right direction.

“I think it’s a wonderful op-portunity, not only for OSU-Cascades, but also for the com-munity,” Capell said.

Now that OSU-Cascades has signed off on the deeds, the campus has the opportunity to start work with the City of Bend and the community. Christine Coffin, director of communica-tions for OSU-Cascades, gave a project update to the Bend City Council at its meeting on Feb. 19, where she said that OSU-Cascades is now working on gathering public feedback and putting together site plans for the city. Being able to purchase the chosen land had a large part in that, according to Sparks.

“It’s allowing us to make the next steps with land develop-ment,” Sparks said. “Really, we’re on track. This was an

important milestone for OSU-Cascades.”

As OSU-Cascades gets ready to design the buildings and ad-dress the impact of the campus on the community, now the campus is focusing on Central Oregon input. In April 2013, the campus formed the Campus Expansion Advisory Committee to look at transporta-tion, neighborhood livability and sustainability. Already, that com-mittee has been holding numerous public forums in Central Oregon to smoothly transition to the next step: building a campus while keeping the community’s interests in mind.

This new step in the expansion is important, according to Capell.

“We need to be careful about the infrastructure's impact,” Capell said. “I’m excited that OSU-Cas-cades is having a lot of public fo-rums and task forces.”

After gathering community feedback, OSU-Cascades will be looking at future work with

the City of Bend to approve con-struction for the summer. OSU-Cascades will be looking at sev-eral steps in the next few months, including finalizing plans for new buildings with student and fac-ulty input and preparing for both a smooth acceptance process with the city and leveraged support from the community. Added to that, OSU-Cascades is looking at signing off on a nearby land par-cel, a 46-acre lot, in the spring of 2014.

But despite the fact that OSU-Cascades still has many more steps to go, Capell believes the recent progress is satisfactory.

“It’s a great opportunity, both for the campus and the commu-nity,” Capell said. “This is really encouraging to see.”

Higher education:

Two MBA programs coming to BendMolly SvendsenThe Broadside

Come fall, Oregon’s big-gest state universities will be competing to

gain Central Oregon students for their master’s programs. As Concordia University fin-ishes their last master’s class in Bend, University of Oregon and Oregon State University-Cascades both plan to bring MBA programs to Central Ore-gon by fall 2014 - but will both be able to sustain themselves?OSU-Cascades

OSU administration has been discussing the MBA pro-gram for the past four years, and in 2013 started making plans.

The OSU MBA was re-cently launched in Portland, formatted as a hybrid delivery with a few face-to-face classes during the term. The success of this program is enabling OSU-Cascades to bring an MBA to Bend now, according to Marla Hacker, OSU-Cascades dean of Academic Success.

“Because of the success in Portland, OSU-Corvallis is able to bring the hybrid MBA to Central Oregon,” Hacker said. “The format will be the same, with some classes face-to-face and the balance on-line.”

In addition, with the upcom-ing OSU-Cascades expansion into a four-year university, OSU-Cascades will be hiring more faculty. This will help ac-commodate the MBA program, according to Hacker.

“With additional faculty, we will be able to also offer

a face-to-face version of the OSU MBA program,” Hacker said.University of Oregon

A noted interest in the pro-gram is what drove Univer-sity of Oregon administration to bring an MBA from their college to Bend, according to Dale Morse, executive director of the executive U of O MBA program.

“As we received more in-terest from Bend residents last year, we decided to look into our schedule and teleconfer-encing technology to make it work,” Morse said. “Once those issues were resolved, we decided to try to start this fall.”

For the University of Or-egon program to be consid-ered successful, three students would be needed, according to Morse.

“Our program is taught us-ing student groups,” Morse said. “Peer learning is very im-portant.”

This already appears to be a possibility, according to Morse. For the first informa-tion session regarding the program, nine individuals reg-istered to learn about the pro-gram.Same degree, different approach

Both degrees are designed for different types of students.

The University of Oregon program is for students that have a minimum of five years experience in business and a minimum of three years of management experience.

“Students in our program are trying to make the last step to top leadership roles within their organization,” Morse said.

The average age of students in University of Oregon’s ex-ecutive MBA program is 38,

while the OSU program is de-signed for “younger students with less experience,” Morse explained.

“All of our students are working full time and our program is designed to create learning experiences that can be immediately applied to their business,” Morse said.

Previous business experi-ence is the “best measure of success” in the U of O MBA program, according to Morse.

“If students have had man-agement experience in busi-ness, nonprofits or the military prior to coming back to school, they may want to continue their education in our graduate program,” Morse said.

The OSU MBA will at-

tract students that are under-employed seeking an MBA in one year, working profession-als seeking a career change and managers seeking profes-sional development and career advancement, as well as inter-national students attracted to OSU-Cascades, according to Hacker.

“Our university recruiters tell us that the MBA will be very successful in attracting international students, which will create a really cool, di-verse classroom environment for both domestic students and the international students,” Hacker said.

Cost is another key difference between the programs. OSU’s tuition is “much more com-

petitive,” according to Hacker. OSU tuition is currently $6,800 a term for tuition and fees for a resident taking 15 credits, which is about $21,000 total. U of O tuition is advertised at $71,000 all inclusive minus a $15,000 scholarship.

Even with U of O tuition at a higher cost, it is relatively in-expensive to their competitors, according to Morse.

“The University of Wash-ington, our main competitor in the Northwest, charges $20,000 more,” Morse explained.

One of the other differences is the mode of delivery, ac-cording to Hacker. Students in the OSU program will have the option of two modes of deliv-ery: face-to-face or hybrid.

“For some courses, students may prefer a face-to-face class-es or because of work schedule they may need a term here they chose the hybrid class,” Hack-er said. “There is flexibility in [the] mode of delivery.”

The University of Oregon program is broadcast from Eu-gene to Bend and organized to be completed in 20 months, while the OSU program can be completed in nine months if students take 15 credits per term.

Though there are differenc-es, both programs have have similarities in quality, accord-ing to Hacker.

“What is the same between the UO and OSU MBAs is that both universities have top-notch faculty and the type of courses are similar,” Hacker said.

ADVERTISEMENTS


In the 1990s, large groups of Native Mexican fami-lies came to Oregon with

an average of fifth to sixth grade educations. Twenty years later, their children are preparing to go to col-lege without the “familial knowledge” other students have, according to Willan Cervantes, director of Central O r e g o n

Com-m u n i t y Co l l ege ’s ¡ Av a n z a ! program.

C e r -vantes’ thesis dealt with the subject of Native Mexican emigra-tion, and now his job deals with the results years later.

“There is a cultural gap,” Cervantes said, “and it has to do with the fact that the students’ parents do not have familial knowledge of what it takes to deal with college.”

Cervantes’ program ¡Avanza! is a college prepa-ration program for Latino students that emphasizes leadership, academia, and cultural relevance. ¡Avanza! is not the first of its kind, but it’s the only program in the region that deals with more than just the physical aspects of college, Cervantes said.

“They get exposure to knowledge they’re not nec-

essarily exposed to in high school,” Cervantes said. “It’s a mental preparation of what to expect… main habits they should focus on in high school.”

¡Avanza!, which means ‘advance’ or ‘move forward’ in Spanish, has registered 86 students in the program to-date - 62 of them since January. It’s offered as a one-credit class one day a week at Bend, Redmond, and Crook

C o u n t y

h i g h schools and is taught by Cervantes.

So far, Cervantes is mostly teaching the first section, which is more mental than physical.

“¡Avanza! I is about convincing yourself men-tally that this is what you want to do,” Cervantes said. “Not because you’ve been told.”

Thirteen students at Bend High are returning from Fall term and are in ¡Avanza! II, which deals more with scholarships, deadlines and financial aid. All students in ¡Avan-za! are GPA-average stu-dents.

“Latino students that do go to college are receiving attention because of their performance in high school,” Cervantes said. “My students are not record performers, but they might have the po-tential to perform well.”

Ninety-five percent of Cervantes’ ¡Avanza! stu-dents will be the first genera-tion in their families to go to college, Cervantes said.

The most challenging part of the program is reaching out to the parents and get-ting them involved. Cer-

vantes had parents who wouldn’t hear

of him drop-ping out of high school or not getting a

college degree. Under his parents’

guidance and en-couragement,

C e r v a n t e s got a full s c h o l a r -ship to O r e g o n S t a t e Univer-sity.

“[Cer-van tes ’ ]

c o n n e c -tion to La-

tino culture really serves

this program well,” Karen

Roth, director of the Multicultural

Program, said. “Part of what ¡Avanza! is want-ing to do is talk about

college success with cultural perspective in mind.”

¡Avanza! started as a statewide program called Oregon Leadership Institute, but it was changed heavily when Cervantes took charge.

“It used to be statewide,” Roth said. “Each campus has morphed that into their own program.”

Cervantes has never orga-nized a program on a wide-spread level, and is learning every step of the way what works and what does not.

“High school and college are different spheres,” Cer-vantes said.

However, Cervantes tries to bring the two together and introduce his high school

students to the college sphere by having them visit COCC and talk to students from ethnic backgrounds like theirs.

COCC student Mike Lo-pez was involved with the panel last term and told students what he wishes he would have done.

“I wanted them to learn from my mistakes, do the things I didn’t do that could’ve helped me,” Lopez said. “Right now they should be preparing for college by getting involved in their communities and becoming more passionate about learn-ing.”

Central Oregon Com-munity College stu-dents may begin to

see a new fashion statement on campus. As students keep warm under blue and green beanies, they help support a cause led by the Associated Students of Central Oregon Community College’s Team Landon campaign.Team Landon is a non-profit campaign led by ASCOCC’s Hailey Jorgensen to help raise funds for childhood leuke-

mia research. The campaign was inspired by Landon, the three-year-old nephew of one of COCC’s campus patrol of-ficers, Chris March. Landon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2013.

“A three-year-old has can-cer and has three and a half years of treatment left ahead of him,” Kurt Killinger with ASCOCC said in a previous interview. “He’s got more chemo in front of him than he’s been alive.”

The general idea of the campaign is to create aware-ness and help educate the community about leukemia while bringing people togeth-

er, accord-ing to Jor-gensen. To help gener-ate aware-ness and show their support for Landon and his family, A S C O C C is giving away bean-ies to those who donate money to the Team L a n d o n

campaign. All of the money collected during the cam-paign will go toward leuke-mia research.

“We are accepting dona-tions now,” Jorgensen said. “Donations of five dollars re-ceive a Team Landon beanie, but we do encourage students to give more if they can af-ford it.”

Donations can be made in the ASCOCC office located on upper level of the Campus Center.

“Landon is not the only child suffering this fate,” Killinger said, “but this just hit close to home.”

At the end of the day, how-ever, the success of the cam-paign relies on student and community participation, ac-cording to Killinger.

“Participation is the key to the success of this project,” Killinger said.

Those interested in fur-ther information about the Team Landon campaign are encouraged to contact Hailey Jorgensen at [email protected].

FUNDING, from page 1

“[Last year’s estimated rollover funding] was prior to [COCC’s] fiscal year ending,” Allen said. “So spending was still occurring, but the budget did not reflect the continued expenses.”

Meanwhile, only one-tenth of that near $50,000 cut amount is due to enrollment drops, according to Alicia Moore, the dean of Student and Enrollment Services.

“We’re estimated over the course of the year about a 6.5 percent drop [in enrollment],” Moore said. “Of that $318,000 that we estimated for them last January, we anticipate that being down about six to seven percent, which equals $5,000 [for ASCOCC].”

The reason this just came to light was that, according to Allen, previous fiscal officer Matt Armstead made a blunder.

“This was not known at the beginning of the year because the first fiscal officer did not catch it, wasn’t aware of it, or did not take the time to look into it,” Allen said.

But according to Armstead himself, the budgets were already cut to reflect the funding change at the beginning of the year.

“We knew that at the beginning of the year,” Armstead said. “We took $45,000 out of the approved budget.”

Armstead turned in his letter of resignation to ASCOCC Nov. 25, and resigned Dec. 9, but the missing chunk of money was not discovered until mid-February.

Spending freeze: breach of bylaws?Ruedi was critical of the budget freeze.

“I would like to know why this was not approved by the council,” Ruedi said. “We all need to be involved in this process, according to our bylaws and constitution. How are we all of a sudden -$50,000 and how can you arbitrarily cut the budget? This is a serious violation of our bylaws.”

The director of fiscal operations position allows Allen to have “fiscal oversight” of budget accounts, according to Allen.

“If your accountant told you that you only have $20 left in your checking account,” Allen said, “would you go out and spend $19?”

But while Allen may have power to make most monetary decisions, a spending freeze is not directly allowed in the ASCOCC bylaws. According to section two letter C of the bylaws, while the ASCOCC budget person may regulate accounts, freezing without the approval of other student government

members is not expressly allowed. As the bylaw states, the director of fiscal operations is instructed to “initiate the annual budget planning process, reconcile ASCOCC accounts on a monthly basis, process monthly payroll, perform a monthly audit report and retain fiscal oversight of ASCOCC accounts.”

Armstead, who held the director of fiscal operations position for four months, did not believe the director of fiscal operations had the power to freeze spending.

“I feel like it would have to be something the council would have to vote on,” Armstead said. “I wouldn’t think that’s something Shanelle could do on her own.”

Student leadership conference cancelledThe announcement of funds frozen came as

members of student government and student leaders were preparing to leave for the Northwest Student Leadership Conference, which took place Feb. 21-23.

Killinger sent out an email days before the conference, noting the unexpected turn of events. Because the student council could not travel, they could not drive or pay for the vans rented to take students, according to Killinger.

“I am very sorry as this was a very big opportunity for students on a variety of levels,” Killinger said.

James Miller, a student and ASCOCC volunteer, was one of the COCC students who went. Grabbing a last-minute ride with a friend driving to Portland, Miller said he regrets that his fellow students missed out on “an incredible leadership development opportunity.”

“I learned so much,” Miller said, “and gained the tools to develop as a leader. It was worth it to me.”

Miller paid for the expenses himself and may not get reimbursed for the money.

“There’s been a big confusion,” Miller, who is now Killinger’s assistant, said. “Everything I paid for was from my own money.”

End of the freezeStudent government met on Feb. 25 to discuss

and reallocate funds so that student government could continue as usual.

Of the three overspent accounts, council travel, training and development, and unbudgeted/unallocated, two were reconciled with funds

from the campus events and Cascades East Transit branch campus line items.

Council travel was $1,287 overspent, and training and development was $1,922 overspent. The council moved that $4,000 from the CET branch campus be reallocated to council travel, and $3,000 from campus events be reallocated to training and development to reconcile the accounts.

Once the accounts were reconciled, the

funding freeze was lifted.“It’s done now. I’m glad it’s cleared,”

Killinger said in the meeting.

As a busy college student juggling school, work and a social life, it is hard to find time to read. But there is one book that I

am willing to cut into my limited sleep schedule to enjoy: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.

The Fault in Our Stars tells the story of Hazel Grace, a stage IV cancer patient who has to face her unfortunate fate of dying before she’s eighteen. Hazel is sent to a cancer support group for emo-tional support. Enter Augustus Waters, the cancer support group bad boy with a cigarette dangling between his teeth who makes it his mission to join Hazel’s world.

At first glance, this book appears to be the ste-reotypical romance story that is so sweet it makes frosting taste bitter. But John Green has created characters that are multi-dimensional, which cre-ates a romance that is surprisingly real. The entire book itself is a symbol.

Hazel Grace represents love’s uncertainties, being the dying cancer patient who questions Au-gustus’s motives for pursuing her. Her physical insecurities and knowledge of her unshakeable fate acknowledge the inevitable pain of love that all readers can relate to on a certain level. Augus-

tus Waters acts as the reminder of the joyful ride we experience when we fall in love, that makes the risk of pain worth it. He shows how love transforms awkward scenarios into laughable memories and that little moments seem to mean so much more when they are with the right person.

John Green may have mastered the art of creating believable characters, but his abil-ity to time events still needs a little work. Although I believe full heartedly in provid-ing changes of pace in a book to entertain a reader, John Green occasionally put me on an emotional roller coaster with his sudden mood changes. It is difficult to appreciate genuine happiness during a romantic moment when three pages earlier I was bawling like a baby because of a not-so-friendly reminder about life’s injustice.

In the end, it is the characters that win over my heart and make the idea of sleep depri-vation more appealing than waiting until the morning to read further. Hazel Grace and Au-gustus Waters are not fairy tale characters in a story book with an unrealistic ending that provide us with unachievable expectations for our own romantic relationships. They are real characters of depth that remind us of how beautifully dysfunctional life really is.

Anndi Adams does not live in this world: She lives in one of her own making.

Anndi Adams has been writing science fiction since the third grade. Now 16 and attending Central Oregon Community College, Adams is still creating her own worlds.

The freedom that writing offers draws Adams to the craft.

“I can put anything I want to hap-pen in there, morph anything to how I want to see the world,” explained

Adams.Concepts for stories and sparks of

inspiration drove Adams to a notepad, but they would usually remain unfin-ished as Adams moved to the next idea. It was not until a chance meeting with another fellow storyteller in the third grade that Adams really began to think seriously about writing.

“[W]hen I got someone to read my stories and comment on them, and have a reason to write them,” explained Adams, “... that really just kept me writing.”

Adams has always been an avid reader, consuming science-fiction book after science-fiction book un-til she noticed a change in her own writing.

“I felt like I was stealing it,” com-mented Adams, “reading the same form as what I was writing.”

Now still a voracious reader, Ad-ams tends to stray away from other works of science fiction.

Anndi Adams does see writing as a

potential career for her, though having other jobs is very much a welcomed option.

“I actually want to have other jobs besides writing, so I can get more ex-perience for my writing,” Adams said.

She plans to continue writing for as long as she can. To date, Adams has written a 400-page novel. It took her two years to complete this first stage.

“[I]t was just the right story and the right time,” Adams said.

It is the idea behind crafting a story, and then sharing her ideas and experiences with others, that Adams loves about writing. Often, Adams is “hundreds of miles away” dreaming up her next story.

“I don’t live in this world, I live in the world of my books,” Adams said. “The only time when I’m in this world is when I’m observing people to better enhance my books.”

Bringing lattes to life Emily KaleiThe Broadside

The next time you’re about to chug down your lavender latte from

Bom Dia Coffee, you might want to take a look down into your coffee cup first. Chances are you have a miniature mas-terpiece staring up at you that will only last a few moments.

“I’ve worked at four coffee shops before I made it to Bom Dia and I have never had to learn how to do latte art until now,” said Derrick Strange, a Central Oregon Community College student and barista at Bom Dia Coffee.

“In the utmost quality of coffee comes latte art,” Strange explained. ”Because if you’re making the milk correctly, you will be able to make latte art. It is all about the milk.”

Latte art is achieved through pouring steamed milk into a coffee drink with an artistic fi-nesse. It is crucial for the milk

to be at a correct consistency in order to generate the creative effect, according to Strange. Too much steam leads to foam, while too little steam leads to a runny consistency. Baristas must learn to determine how long they need to steam the milk in order to generate their ideal consistency.

“It is part of the package [of enjoying fine coffee],” Strange explained. “It is the first thing you see, and you can see vis-ible differences when you steam the milk differently … just like you can taste the dif-ferences when you roast the coffee beans differently.”

Latte art has become “a sig-nature” for Bom Dia, accord-ing to Beau Beach, who is the owner at Bom Dia Coffee.

“We are able to do latte art because we are providing a quality milk to our coffee,” Beach said. “Latte art is almost like a signature for us. Yes, it looks pretty, but it shows that customers are getting a quality product.”

Although being a latte art-ist is not required to work at

Bom Dia Coffee, employees are highly encouraged to learn the skill. However, fellow latte artists know that becoming fa-miliar with producing an ed-ible, caffeinated art piece takes time.

“[I] can make a latte in a minute-thirty,” Strange said. “I started working [with]coffee when I was 23... so about a de-cade now.”

Ten years may seem like a long time to dedicate oneself to learning about coffee, but Strange does not mind.

“I could have skipped a lot of those years and gone to the quality [of coffee] and pouring [latte art],” Strange said. “But then I wouldn’t appreciate the quality I am experiencing now.”

Designs range from simple as hearts to elaborate as pi-rate ships. Each cup of coffee poured at Bom Dia is a work of art, according to Strange. Al-though it may only exist for a few moments, Strange enjoys seeing the reactions on custom-er’s faces when they see what’s waiting for them in their cup.

“The cool thing about latte art is that I get to do 10 or 20 designs a day. Even the regu-lars still enjoy seeing [the latte designs],” Strange said.

To Strange, creating latte art is more than pouring steamed milk into a person’s morning latte: It is about completing the coffee experience for people.

“Latte art goes a long way to show a barista’s true love for cof-fee. I feel like if you are not get-ting art in your latte, I don’t feel you’re actually getting the best coffee you could be getting,” Strange explained. “It really ties in the total coffee experience.”

The teepee the First Nation Student Union has been asking for now has funds

behind it. On Feb. 11, Central Oregon Community College student government approved $1000 toward the grand total of $2650. The remainder of the funding will come from the Native American program at COCC, according to Gina Ricketts, the program director.

“I think, for the Native American program, it’s a good way to show a commitment,” Ricketts said.

Ricketts and the FNSU have already cleared the teepee’s use and storage through COCC’s administration, which was one of the main concerns the Associated Students of COCC had when Brandi Maddox, president of the FNSU, presented the budget to the council on Jan. 15.

Originally, when the FNSU asked for funds from ASCOCC beyond their annual budget, the council denied the request because they didn’t want to set a precedent of giving “massive allocations” to student clubs, Kurt Killinger, director of legislative affairs, told The Broadside in the Jan.

29 issue.“We’re huge fans,” Killinger

said in the Jan. 15 meeting. “My concern is that you guys have a $6,000 budget and then [the teepee] is $2,600 on top of that budget.”

So Ricketts decided to use money from her budget as director of the Native American program to supplement it, at which point ASCOCC committed $1000.

The teepee will be stored in the basement of Ochoco, according to Ricketts.

“Mike Beaulieu of Campus Services/Maintenance is building us a great storage area so it will be somewhat easy to take it in and out,” Ricketts said.

Ricketts believes that the Native American program needs to commit because of the legacy the teepee will leave.

“It’s going to be lasting,” Ricketts said. “It’ll be here forever whether I’m here or not.”

The Bobcats are one of the only three community college rugby teams in the nation, so there isn’t much competition at their level. So Central Oregon Community College’s rugby team is beginning a season of friendly games,

playing bigger universities to learn how to play better, according to Woody Bennett, rugby coach.

“Winter and spring are prep for fall,” Bennett said. “We start late September and we’ve got to throw them right in the fire.”

The other colleges in the Bobcats’ league -- Gonzaiga, Whitman, Willamette, Se-attle University, and the University of Puget Sound -- start August and have a month longer to prepare for the competitive season, fall.

But COCC starts late September and often has many new students to train.“You’re always recruiting,” Bennett said. “There are only three community col-

leges in the U.S. that play rugby, and it’s because of that swinging door. We’re so lucky: These kids, the majority of them have stayed.”

On Mar. 8, the Bobcats will be going up against the University of Oregon, which is in the university league and has beaten COCC before in Nov. 2012.

“They play the likes of Idaho State, Washington State,” Bennett said. “You learn by playing better teams. …These are friendly matches.”

Bennett is hopeful that the Bobcats will show University of Oregon that they’ve learned a lot.

“The boys are anxious to play them again,” Bennett said. “We’re a much better team now; we’ll see if we can’t start right off and push them. It’ll be a good test for us.”

Bobcats burst out of the gate with 50-0 win against ReedWinter season is already looking rosy for the Bobcats, who on March 1 beat Reed

College Portland 50-0. “We were muddy and sloppy but it was fun,” Bennett said.The two biggest scorers in the match were Alex Esselstrom and Sergio Gairo. The

“Man of the Match,” as voted by the other team, was Levi Penter.
