Deschutes county students won’t feel the bite from the col-lege’s new tuition increase, but all other students on campus will.

Central Oregon Community College’s Board of Directors voted to raise tuition by two dollars a credit for out-of-state border state and seven dollars for out-of-state foreign students on Wed. April 9.

The tuition raise will bring on more faculty, reduce Campus Public Safety’s reliance on outside contractors, and increase tech support’s infrastructure, according to Kevin Kimball, chief financial officer at COCC.

Originally, the plan was to raise tuition five dollars a credit, but when House Bill 5101 was passed in 2013, the state of Oregon in-creased financial support for community colleges to limit tuition in-creases. However, COCC still had to raise tuition to avoid a loss, according to Ron Paradis, director of College Relations.

After a year worth of interviews, special committees and ap-plications, the Central Oregon Community College Board of Directors has turned down all of the final candidates for

presidency. The decision follows a recent discovery that Dr. Patrick Lanning, the announced “top candidate,” is on administrative leave from Chemeketa Community College. Following that finding, the Board of Directors has decided not to move to either of the other two presidential finalists—Dana Young and Dr. Sheila Ortego—and to in-stead find new applicants.

“[The board] has decided not to hire a new president at this time,” Ron Paradis, the director of college relations, said following an April 9 executive session.

Since last fall, COCC has been gathering feedback from students, talking to administration, gathering poll response, narrowing down choices several times and hosting final meetings.

A group opposing the OSU-Cascades site on the west side is raising

$50 grand to hire a lawyer and make the new campus move. While Oregon State Universi-ty-Cascades may have signed the dotted line to purchase their 10-acre land parcel off Chandler Avenue, Truth in Site hopes to move the future OSU-Cascades campus to somewhere in the commercial district of Bend. Their reasons include a potentially unsup-portable impact on their local infrastructure, a detrimental

influence on schools in the area and the site itself.Population impact concerns

Recently, Truth in Site has been holding meetings in at-tempts to move the site. But according to OSU-Cascades Vice President Becky John-son, careful planning went into the current location.

“We had conversations, probably for over a year, about the kind of campus we wanted to have,” Johnson said. “We were persuaded that having a more integrated, ur-ban campus would be more desirable than the traditional suburban campus.”

Soon, Oregon high school graduates looking to attend Oregon community colleges

could get their associate’s for free. Senate Bill 1524, passed in the 2014 Feb.-March regular legisla-tive session, is directing the Higher Education Coordination Com-mission to study the possibility of implementing a “six-year high school” program. This would mean that Oregon high school graduates could receive two free years of community college education.

But as the education commis-sion looks at bringing that plan into fruition, both costs and methods are hurdles facing the state.

FundingSB 1524 was popular at the Or-

egon State Legislature, receiving a vote of 57 to two in the House and 30 to zero in the Senate. But allo-cating funds for passage of the plan might be could be more difficult than receiving the initial support, according to Kevin Kimball, chief financial officer at Central Oregon Community College.

“One of the frustrations I have is they’re trying to go clear to no tu-ition, and yet the state cannot fund the financial obligations they have in terms of the state grants they’ve made available,” Kimball said.

Though the financial impact has not been directly specified, the costs per student have been estimated, according to State Senator Mark Hass, D-Beaverton, the sponsor of the bill.

“We’re talking about $3,500 dollars per person [for a year],” Hass said.

With potentially thousands of Oregon high school graduates eli-gible each year, the planning com-mission has one major aspect to look at: Where the yearly millions of dollars of funding would come from.

“It’s a complex issue,” COCC President Jim Middleton said.

For Middleton, the main con-cern with implementing such a pro-gram at COCC is ensuring funding is not cut in other areas.

“It’s not something that’s good or bad,” Middleton said. “It’s as-sessing the implications of the choices that we make.”

COCC currently operates on a “three-legged stool” approach, by trying to maintain equal amounts of funding for general operations, facility funding and student needs. One of the potential issues with im-plementing a six-year high school plan could be offsetting that bal-ance by having to cut certain areas, according to Kimball. An issue that might come up in the planning of

the implementation would be using a differential tuition rate. With that type of rate, Oregon community colleges might establish tuition, but those under the free associate’s pro-gram might have a set, potentially lower amount by the state for the same amount of credits.

While funding is an obstacle, the Higher Education Coordina-tion Commission is considering ways to overcome the hurdle. De-creasing costs through education could translate into more academic means, according to Middleton.

“Part of what advocates are fo-cused on is the state’s long-term quality of life and education benefit to have a more educated citizenry,” Middleton said.

Previous studies have shown that the higher the education, the lower the incarceration rates, health care costs, welfare costs and un-employment rates, according to Middleton.

A transfer of funds to education has found favor with Oregon Gov-ernor John Kitzhaber, according to Middleton.

“The governor has been trying to decrease expenditure on prison cost to be able to recondition prison and health care costs to education,” Middleton said. “That frees up money for education, in a sense that money for education would have a greater long-term benefit to the state than the other options.”

RequirementsNow the Higher Education

Coordination Commission has the task of studying under the allocation of SB 1524. The commission’s goal is to present funding solutions to the Oregon State Legislature by the 2015 January-February regular leg-islative session, and requirements for eligibility form a concern. While SB 1524 considers the implications of providing free community col-lege classes to all Oregon grads, a cap might need to be set for the sake of finances, according to Kimball.

“If you say, ‘All that fall under this program would qualify; the state’s going to provide the dollars,’ that’s major funding,” Kimball said.

Kimball related the example to Nevada, which previously offered a scholarship to in-state high school graduates holding GPAs of 3.0 or higher. In that program, while full-ride scholarships were of-fered, the program extended all their funds and had to shut it down.

One option to confront this might be limiting the pool of ap-p l i c a n t s t h r o u g h financial

eligibility, according to Middleton.“If you said, for instance, ‘We’re

going to do this for people that have financial need greater than X,’ you might spend significantly less on the program rather than if it’s for every high school graduate,” Mid-dleton said.

But according to the original sponsor of the feasibility bill, Hass, limited requirements should be placed on the plan.

“We’re going to try to do Pell Grant guidelines, which are essen-tially a 2.0 GPA,” Hass said. “My intent is not to do any needs test-ing.”

Hass believes eligibility should be open to encourage free access to education, much like Medicare and social security are without financial caps.

A lack of limiting requirements could pose accessibility problems, though, according to Middleton.

“If we made it free for all stu-dents, it would give you a free pass, but one you might not be able to cash in because of longer wait lists for courses and programs,” Middle-ton said.

From a study commission to lawFor now, SB 1524 has one ma-

jor purpose: To gather cost projec-

tions and plans for the future. As the Higher Education Coordination Committee considers the implica-tions of revolutionizing the Oregon community college system, the committee is expected to look at blueprints from other states. After considering options, the committee will provide recommendations in the fall.

As chairman of the Senate Education Committee, Hass plans to push forward the results of the study.

“We’ll refine [the recommenda-tions] and see where we go in Janu-ary-February of next year, and then it will be considered by the legislature,” Hass said.

With near-unani-mous votes in favor for passage of SB 1524 in the last leg-islative session, Hass believes its hope-ful predecessor, a bill implementing the plan rather than studying it, would also find success.

“This is the direc-tion to go. The ques-tion is how do we do it, and what kind of rules

should we have?” Hass said.Middleton is also supportive

of the intent of the six-year high school plan, but unsure if it will be passed into law.

“I think there are challenges and opportunities here that still need a lot of thinking through,” Middleton said. “I do applaud the creativity and the investment mentality that goes into even asking the question.” (Contact: [email protected])

Senate Bill 1524 - Two years of community college paid by the state

TUITION, from page 1

The COCC Board of Direc-tors is normally conservative when it comes to raising tuition, Kimball said.

“The board is very cautious,” Kimball said. “They talk about, ‘If we’re going to raise tu-ition, what are we doing to increase student suc-cess?’”

Students may also be concerned about what they will get as tuition rises. Savanna Jones, a social science major dual-ly-enrolled at COCC and Oregon State University-Cascades, doesn’t be-lieve that the tuition hike would address the true needs of the campus.

“I feel like there are other things that need to be addressed,” Jones said. “How can we make it easier for more people to go to school? … [De-creasing] bookstore costs, transit costs, more advo-cacy for low-income stu-dents and single parents. … I don’t think our tuition should be increased for secu-rity.”

Administration believes the opposite, however – that these changes will have a “direct benefit” for students, accord-ing to Alicia Moore, dean of Student and Enrollment Ser-vices.

First, more public safety is important to the Redmond campus, which has grown so much in the last few years that

it is larger than two of Ore-gon’s stand-alone community colleges, and it needs anoth-er public safety coordinator, Moore said.

The money will also de-crease COCC’s reliance on outside contractors, Kimball said. Currently, Campus Public Safety isn’t able to handle all

of the campus’ security issues: The college also contracts se-curity firms like SecurityPros to keep the campuses safe.

Kimball wants to see this hap-pen less and less.

“Rather than contracting out, we’d have our own em-ployees that have a better un-derstanding of student needs,” Kimball said. “You hate to have someone come in who doesn’t understand the cam-pus.”

Other benefits to the tuition raise include a new tenure track for speech, according to Moore. Adding a new full-time

speech professor would expe-dite students through required classes like public speaking.

“I was talking to someone who, for the second term in a row, was too far back on the waitlist to get in,” Moore said. “A full-time speech faculty will add 100 students a quarter – 400 a year.”

The increase would also support information technol-ogy and the Latino and Native American programs.

A tuition increase was COCC’s only option, accord-ing to Kimball

“Property taxes are set, state funding is out of our control,” Kimball said. “So the only thing we can really change is tuition.”

FINALISTS, from page 1

Seventeen members of the Search Advisory Committee looked over applications, and nar-rowed down the results to three candidates.

All three of those final-ists for presidency – Lan-ning, Young and Ortego – visited the COCC Bend campus, and the branch campuses in February and March. But although Lanning was announced as the leading candidate following the interviews, outside findings caused the COCC Board of Di-rectors to rethink the de-cision.

“I think it’s a case where the board just wasn’t able to get to the comfort level that we wanted,” COCC Board Chair Bruce Abernethy said.Administrative Leave

In an announcement on April 8 from Ron Paradis, the director of college re-lations at COCC, he said that Lanning had been put on administrative leave.

What allegations prompted the leave have yet to be publicly re-leased, but the issue did

surface during the final-izing process, according to Paradis.

“As we have reported, the COCC Board has been conducting back-ground checks prior to formalizing its decision,” Paradis said. “Informa-tion about the leave come up as a part of the board’s due diligence.”

While Chemeketa Community College is dealing with Lanning’s leave – and following up with allegations – the spokesperson for Cheme-keta who has been instru-mental in the process, Dean Greg Harris, “re-fused to comment.”Executive session re-sults

Following the find-ings, the COCC Board of Directors met in execu-tive session April 9 and decided to continue the presidential search, ac-cording to Paradis.

“The board has de-termined there are un-answered questions that provide concern and that the college needs to move forward,” Paradis said.

For Abernethy, the de-cision was difficult.

“It’s incredibly dis-

appointing with all the many hours, countless hours, which people have put in,” Abernethy said. “But ultimately, the board felt it was important to be able to move on.”

As COCC plans to start a new search, staff should be repeating this year’s process in the 2014-2015 school year. While the board “passed a resolu-tion to ‘not hire’ any of the candidates, and to ‘extend the search,’” ac-cording to Paradis, some decisions are not final-ized. The board did in-dicate that for fall 2014, when the new process will be started, an in-terim president will take retiring president Dr. Jim Middleton’s place.

Meetings in the next few weeks will address filling that part-time va-cancy.

“It’s physically and emotionally exhausting,” Abernethy said.

The COCC Board of Directors expects to com-plete the same process with a search committee starting fall 2014. (Contact: [email protected])

In a matter of weeks, stu-dent government will completely overhaul the

way they run. But the new student government will in-crease accountability within the organization, according to Taran Smith, advisor to the Associated Students of Central Oregon Community College.

Currently, six equal mem-

bers make up ASCOCC. But the proposed changes will re-place those directors of dif-ferent branches with a presi-dent, two vice presidents, a treasurer and an undecided amount of “general council members” under them.

The current struggle with student government, accord-ing to Smith, is that the six equal members are account-able to each other.

“Structurally, no one is really holding them account-able to their job descriptions, hours, positions, duties … and, I would say, code of ethics,” Smith said.

But the new structure would make each member accountable to someone higher up in the hierarchy – namely, the “vice president of ASCOCC affairs,” who would manage the paid and appointed positions, estab-lish expectations and evalu-ate performance, according to the proposed changes.

The other vice president position, the vice president of Legislative Affairs, would connect the student body more to statewide student or-ganizations and advocate on behalf of students at COCC.

These two positions and the president position would

be elected. The other posi-tions would be appointed and hired by whoever filled the elected positions. The number and scope of these positions is currently the only thing the council has not finalized.

In ASCOCC’s current draft of the bylaws, the council would also have as-sistants to help with specific areas of ASCOCC’s opera-tions: An executive council assistant, a legislative af-fairs assistant, an office as-sistant and so on. But in the ASCOCC council meeting on April 9, ASCOCC Di-rector of Public Relations Hailey Jorgensen voiced her opinion on having assistants’ jobs be more general.

“I just don’t know if these specific assistants are really doing anything,” Jorgensen said.

Jorgensen believes the assistants’ positions should have a more communal ap-proach and complete the tasks that “go to the back-burner” that the general council can’t get to.

While the council is split over whether to continue changing the bylaws or move on, Smith and Direc-tor of Student Life, Gordon

Price encouraged the council to approve the elected posi-tions in the bylaws.

They did this because of how close student council elections are.

“Elections start mid-May,” Price said. “I don’t want to put something through that isn’t finished… [but] my hope was that [the council] could vote tonight.”

The council voted to ap-prove the elected positions in the bylaws so that Alicia Moore, dean of students, can make any edits before elec-tions. Campaigning changes

Where and how council-aspiring students can cam-paign for voters will be much “looser” this election,

according to Price. The new guidelines are

less restrictive.“We’ve loosened up some

of the regulations on where you can campaign,” Price said.

Now, students are allowed to campaign anywhere on campus except classrooms, the library and near vot-ing stations. Places like the classrooms are to remain a “sacred space” for students, Price said.

Campaigning individuals can also now use ASCOCC materials to campaign, such as a button machine and shirt printing machine in student government’s club space.


OPPOSITION, from page 1

In the OSU-Cascades site selec-tion process, the university looked at commute and transportation fac-tors.

“We wanted to be more in the heart of town, where students and faculty could bike to campus rather than getting in their cars,” Johnson said.

Truth in Site claims that with many schools nearby, Cascades students would compete with other traffic, according to Greg Knowles, a financial contributor to Truth in Site. In late March, Knowles sent a letter to Bend city councilors asking for a relocation of the site.

One of Knowles concerns at that time was that with several K-12 schools close by, the area cannot support more education facilities. Knowles estimated that there are close to 4,000 children in schools on the west side, and that it would impact traffic to have more students traveling to OSU-Cascades every morning and afternoon.

More fundamentally, Knowles believes that the average college student’s lifestyle shouldn’t be in close proximity with families.

“It’s a reality that you’re going to have parties,” Knowles said. “There’s going to be that kind of activity in that area, and it’s not for appropriate for an area that has a lot of families and kids.”

Site concernsAnother concern raised by Truth

in Site is the site itself. The adja-cent location OSU-Cascades plans to purchase is “a toxic land site,”

according to Truth in Site. The 46-acre parcel the university is plan-ning to build on is the location of an old pumice mine.

However, the typography is manageable, according to Johnson.

“With today’s building technolo-gy, you can build on about any kind of site,” Johnson said. “There are cost implications, but we weren’t daunted by the pumice mine.”

A main concern from Truth in Site is also the limited span of acre-age. With OSU-Cascades’ goal of 5,000 students on 56 acres, Truth in Site says there is “no place to grow.” This is not a new concern, according to Johnson.

“A lot of people say, ‘Oh, that’s not nearly enough space,’ as if we made up the number,” Johnson said. “We didn’t make it up. We hired experts in this area to tell us what would be required.”

Opponents of the land site have been pushing for a relocation to the east side of town.

The campus has been receiv-ing several requests for the site to be moved to Juniper Ridge off Cooley Road, but that brings larger concerns, according to Johnson. Johnson estimates overhead costs precluding construction at Juniper Ridge to be anywhere between $30 and $40 million. While Juniper Ridge is located in the commercial part of town, the site does not have roads, sewer or water.

“It would be incredibly expen-sive. Whoever triggers that would pay those costs,” Johnson said.

The debate continuesMany of the current concerns

have already been rebutted several times, according to Johnson.

“We’ve made all these argu-ments many, many times and people still say, ‘Well, we think you should be at Juniper Ridge,’” Johnson said.

OSU-Cascades would prefer

working out concerns with Truth in Site to avoid legal processes, ac-cording to Johnson.

“I wish they would work with us to address the concerns around this site instead of just saying, ‘Go somewhere else,’” Johnson said.

“By doing legal tactics, they are go-ing to end up making us spend a lot of money on legal costs that could be spent on academics or scholar-ships.”

If you enroll at Oregon State University-Cas-cades in 2015, your

dormmate could very possi-bly be from outside the U.S. International students, who only make up four percent of the student body now, could be a large part of the Oregon State University-Cascades campus expansion. OSU-Cascades is currently look-ing into forming a partner-ship with INTO University Partnerships Limited, an in-ternational organization that has already recruited 1,424 students for OSU in Corval-lis.

“The top five nationalities currently represented in Cor-vallis are China, Saudi Ara-bia, South Korea, Japan and Oman,” McGowan said. The INTO program is already in its fifth year on the Corvallis campus.

OSU-Cascades and INTO have yet to finalize a part-

nership, according to Amy McGowan, INTO OSU co-ordinator.

“Negotiations for a con-tract between INTO Uni-versity Partnerships and OSU-Cascades are cur-rently underway and can-not be commented on yet,” McGowan said.

In Corvallis, students in INTO spend a year in the “pathway” program, ac-cording to Amy McGowan, the INTO OSU center di-rector. This program helps ease international students into the cultural norms of American classrooms.

“The Pathway Programs are part of the contract dis-cussions between INTO and OSU-Cascades,” Mc-Gowan said.

Upon completion of the pathway program, students can enroll at OSU in a four-year degree program as second-year students. OSU is also working to offer an international program for business graduate students in Oregon.

Cap Corner5 Reasons You’re Not Getting HiredSubmitted by Tracy Dula, Career Services Coordinator

Are you having a hard time finding employment? Read on to see if you’re making any of these mistakes that could stop you from getting hired.

1. Your resume is lacking.Your resume is the first thing that most employers see, and if it isn’t right, you won’t get an interview. You need to tailor your resume to the specific job for which you are applying. Make your resume easy to read by avoiding distracting fonts. You also should put important info near the top of your resume and try to keep it as close to one page as possible. Finally, have someone proofread your resume for errors.2. Your social media presence isn’t positive.Social media has become an important marketing tool for companies today, and many interviewers are using it to weed out bad candidates. Thirty-four percent of employers who use social media to screen have found information that caused them not to hire a specific candidate. If you must share everything with your friends, make your profile private, or at least make the parts that could damage your job search private.3. Your interview skills need work.If you are getting interviews regularly, but you never get a job offer, your interview skills may need some work. One of the biggest and most surprising issues that inter-viewees consistently display is a lack of respect in the way they dress for an interview. While most employers won’t fault you for overdressing, many will blame you if you come in too relaxed.Another mistake that many people make at an interview is not researching the specific job and company. You should show confidence in the interview, and prove to the person interviewing why your skills are a good match for the position. Also, avoid sharing too much at an interview. You’re there to share your job skills, not your personal life.4. Your references are weak.Even if you make it through the pre-screening process and ace the interview, a bad reference can be a deal breaker. Avoid family or friends unless they have worked with you on a significant project. Keep your references current; only list people you have worked with recently and who know your work ethic. Avoid listing former employers or coworkers who might have something negative to say about you.5. You’re not the right fit.Applying to jobs that you are completely overqualified for makes employers wary. They don’t believe that you will stay at the company once you find something better. If you are unqualified, you are also probably wasting your time because employers will receive many resumes from people who are qualified. You need to apply for jobs for which you have the right training and education. If you really want to get a job that is out of your skill set, consider taking certification classes or volunteering in order to make your resume seem more impressive.Schedule an appointment with the Career Services Coordinator by calling the CAP Center at 541-383-7200.

Police officers often aren’t trained to handle crises involving indi-

viduals with mental illnesses, but one out of five people suf-fer from a mental illness. This is why Campus Public Safety recently had two more campus public safety officers graduate from Crisis Intervention Train-ing.

“The chances of you know-ing someone who suffers from some sort of mental illness is extremely high,” said Ei-lene Flory, Crisis Intervention Team coordinator.

Central Oregon Commu-nity College’s officers went through Flory’s program and completed the week-long CIT training through the Bend Po-lice Department.

This brings the Central Or-egon Community College CPS department to a total of three CIT certified officers, making it one of the highest at com-munity colleges in the state, according to Jim Bennett, cam-pus public safety coordinator.

The three trained officers are Adam Neider, Kevin Lanier and Chris March.

“I am happy to report that this is a focus and that we are able to serve the college with a well trained staff,” Bennett said.

CIT is a model of how law enforcement responds to in-dividuals with mental illness, according to Adam Neider, COCC campus public safety officer. Neider was the first of-ficer in the department to com-plete CIT.

“The main goal of law en-forcement is to protect and serve,” Neider said. “[CIT] is really a comprehensive train-ing that gives law enforcement the skill to deal with situations involving mentally ill individ-uals more effectively.”CIT: Birthed in controversy

In 1988, the Memphis Ten-nessee Police Department part-nered with local mental health providers to organize, train and implement a specialized unit of police officers trained to respond to community mem-bers in a mental health crisis.

“The purpose for this unique approach was to establish a more intelligent, understand-able and safe approach to re-

sponding to these community members in crisis,” Flory said.

The specially trained offi-cers who made up the police portion of the Crisis Interven-tion Team were police offi-cers who volunteered for the training. These officers were then dispatched to crisis calls that involved individuals with mental illness. Since that time, the program has grown, both nationally and locally, accord-ing to Flory.

“Since the implementation of the CIT program in 1988, the concept of having special-ized trained officers has grown across the nation, with 2,719 programs nationwide,” Flory said.

CIT was first implemented in Oregon following the death of James Chasse in 2006. Chasse, who suffered from schizophrenia, was beaten and repeatedly tased by three Portland police officers and sustained massive internal in-juries. Three officers involved in Chasse’s case were never indicted for their part in the incident.

“Chasse’s death prompted an outcry in the media,” Flo-rie said, “and forced the Bu-reau to make changes in how

it responds to calls regard-ing people with mental health problems.”

Following this incident, Portland Mayor Tom Potter in-stituted a CIT program which cause other cities and counties to do the same.

The local program began in 2012 and as of Feb. 2014, organized and presented three 40-hour trainings, using the methods of the Memphis CIT training model.

CIT locallyFlory’s position as CIT

coordinator was funded by a grant given to the Bend Police Department by the Bend City Council. This shows the re-gions dedication to having CIT certified officers, according to Flory.

Currently the CIT steer-ing committee has grown and has representative from many local organizations involved with assisting individuals with mental illness. Currently there are no members sitting on the steering committee from out-side of Deschutes County, ac-cording to Flory.

“We have, however, had law enforcement officers from the tri-county area attend our CIT trainings and hope to in-

clude more of them during our next round of training which is scheduled in November 2014,” Flory said.

The steering committee is currently exploring how to in-clude EMS and first respond-ers in the trainings or steering committee itself.

The training that the offi-cers have is a 40-hour week-long course and is facilitated by community professionals. The training includes training in verbal de-escalation skills, identification of possible symptoms of mental illness, local resource information, ed-ucation about mental illnesses, explanation of the crisis cycle as well as many other topics.

As part of training, the of-ficers visit local treatment fa-cilities and housing options to allow officers to meet staff and residents not in crisis.

“The training also includes a set-aside portion of time for the officers to practice the skills that they have learned through scenarios,” Flory said.

Vaccination vacation:Nursing students from COCC will spend summer break providing medical care in developing countries

Graphic by Andrew Greenstone | The Broadside

Students thirsting for experience use summer vacation to travel. Practically-minded students use it to gain experience in their careers through internships. More

altruistic students use it to volunteer in other countries.Central Oregon Community College’s nursing students

will be doing all three on the same trip. For the past three summers, students in the nursing program

at COCC have partnered with non-profit organization Project Helping Hands to travel abroad and bring medical treatment to people who don’t have access to it otherwise, according to Erick Jackson, a graduating nursing student at COCC.

Jackson is one of 20 students planning to go to Haiti in June to volunteer for two weeks.

“Haiti is the poorest nation in the western hemisphere,” Jackson said. “There’s a lot of need to be met there. Ever since the quake of 2010, people haven’t fully recovered. ...The people there have need for some of the most basic stuff that we take for granted, like tylenol, toothbrushes, even toilet paper.”

Jackson will be providing essential medicine to local Haitians while improving on his medical knowledge and use his classroom lessons in a more hands-on environment.

He and the other attending nursing students will get a chance to work with trained physicians, nurses and Haitian officials during their stay.

“Getting this opportunity is about as ‘hands-on’ as you get,” Jackson said.

Taran Smith, student activities coordinator and ASCOCC advisor, said the partnership between COCC and Project Helping Hands has brought a lot of notoriety to COCC in the medical field, allowing the students access to training outside the classroom and across the world. Smith hopes the partnership in the long run will “open the thing up to more students.”

Second year nursing student Kris Kruse is among the returning student members. He visited the Dominican Republic on his first trip last year where he was able to get hands-on-training and fulfill his need to help others.

“Going to the Dominican Republic was my first time out of the country. So it was an eye-opener getting there and seeing how in need the Dominican people really are,” Kruse said, “but on the other hand it was amazing seeing how grateful this people [the Dominican’s] are just for us being there and lending the medical treatment.”

Kruse recalls that when he went into a village near the clinic

where the s h o p k e e p e r

insisted out of gratitude that Kruse take anything he wanted.

“The translator who was with us explained to us that for [the Dominicans], it wasn’t about the money,”

Kruse said. “It was about us being there and doing what were doing for the villagers.”

In 2010, Project Helping Hands sent more than 170 volunteers on 13 mission trips, providing

medical care for nearly 18,000 people in five developing nations, according

Project Helping Hands founder Jeff Solheim. By 2015, Project Helping Hands expects to sponsor 14 teams with a total of over 280 volunteers.

The project’s mission statement is simple, Solheim said.

“Our goal is to provide quality health care where there is none and develop locally operated clinics in these locations,” Solheim said. “We also strive to provide an unforgettable personal growth opportunity for the volunteer.”

Jackson and Kruse will be joined by 18 other nursing

students and non-medical volunteers as well to head to the Haitian capital Port Au Prince where they are expected to treat upwards of 120 patients a day.

“In Haiti, people are still living in huge trap-tent cities, with no clean water, no

sanitation, is just bad,” Jackson said.Jackson and Kruse’s biggest take

away from their experience is to be grateful. “We need to be grateful for what we have and realize not

everyone has it as good as we do here in the United States,” Kruse said. “If any student has the desire to help out, just do it, pay it forward. You don’t have to be a medical student or

travel abroad to help. Start small and go from there.”

Emily KaleiThe Broadside

Editor’s note: The staff at The Broadside has had fun watching Emily get into embarrassing situations for a long time, but now we want to share the experience with you. We’ll be publishing this new column, “The Adventures of Emily Kalei,” or “ The Awkward Chronicles” or “The Kalei Chronicles” every week in the Clubs and Sports section of The Broadside.

“Just when I thought you couldn’t get any nerdier…” my friend Shannyn laughed at me. “You go larping in

Drake Park? Wow, you have successfully entered the world of nerd-dom. Welcome.”

It is well established among my group of friends that I am a nerd. My infamous frizzy hair and obsession with Harry Potter earned me the nickname of Hermione in middle school. When I was in high school, I wore my Captain America shirt with pride as I strutted down the hall humming Broadway show tunes. I believe that Yoda is the most underquoted philosopher of the modern world. I even channel my favorite comic book reporter Lois Lane when I am working on assignment for The Broadside.

I admit, I am a nerd. However, like Clark Kent revealing he is really

Superman, I find it is best to slowly reveal my nerdiness over time rather than scaring people with the random nerdy fact that I can quote the entire movie Back to the Future by memory.

But I can’t help it. I like to escape to the world of my imagination and go on epic

journeys. I think anyone can relate to that fact. Let’s be honest: As college students working through school with big dreams and small wallets, it feels like the only adventures we can afford to take are the ones in our daydreams.

As much as I love being a nerd and the idea of embarking on epic quests, I like to save my fantastic adventures for my imagination and not the world of reality.

Not so for members of the community who take part in Live Action Role Playing, commonly referred to as larping.

Every Sunday, a few young men and

women gather together in Drake Park at one o’clock and participate in medieval-style sword fights. For a couple hours, they are not average Bendites but heroes of another realm defending their honor and fighting for a purpose. They literally enter a world of their own and leave

reality behind. After being told about the larpers, I

found myself oddly excited about the idea that I could once again become the hero of my own fairy tale. So I dug out my brother’s old Jack Sparrow costume from high school, donned my best pirate persona and set out to join these larpers on an afternoon filled with epic adventures.

In my mind I was thinking we were going to do the grade-school, walking around playing “adventure,” sharing our own tales and going home. What actually happened was far from that.

“So, what are we going to do?” I asked the larpers’ president, Derek. “Are we going to walk around, go on an adventure?”

“Oh, no,” Derek said. “We’re going to war.”

Thankfully I wasn’t going into battle completely unprepared. Derek did teach me a few pointers, like how to block an opponent’s attack with your shield, and how to strike with your sword.

He then took time to teach me the ways of the “Code of Honor,” where the entertainment of the game relies heavily on a person’s ability to admit defeat. For almost an hour, I was literally in a whole new culture complete with real foam swords and new identities for the players.

Passers by did gawk, I did foolishly try to swing my sword in attack, and I did succeed in embarrassing myself. The funny thing about sword fights is they always look cooler in your head and they hurt a lot less. And last time I checked, you don’t spend half of your time in battle running away from a persistent bee who is drawn to your plumeria-scented body lotion.

But I digress. Although it was not what I expected, I did have a fun time with the larpers. It was entertaining to spend some time away from my usual routine and just focus on having fun in a world of my own imagination. Derek and the other fighters were very gracious and made me feel that I was once again the hero of my fairy tale.

Beats Antique’s April 4 concert in Bend was probably amazing if

you were tripping. And it was still entertaining if, like me, you weren’t. But I didn’t quite get what I was looking for.

The experimental electronic fusion group, Beats Antique, has become famous for mixing anything with electronic music. Old school jazz, afro-beat,

belly dance music, hip-hop, down tempo, and even circus music have all figured into their projects.

But if it had been my first time seeing them, I never would have guessed any of that. David Satori seemed content playing electric guitar, switching sometimes to trumpet or a few smaller instruments that had little impact on the sound. I never saw Tommy Cappel get up from the drumset.

During much of the set, Satori and Cappel stood aside while videos were projected on the screens behind and around them.

The videos ran the gamut of inspiring, disturbing, and artsy, but they were still videos. And the frontmen were still standing aside and asking us, the paying audience, to stop watching them and instead watch the screen. Or watch the dancers. Or, in one case, watch the giant one-eyed nightmare dog inflating on the stage.

David Satori even seemed a little sheepish about how bizarre his band’s production was trying to be. After the nightmare dog deflated, Satori said, almost bored in tone, “Are you guys ready to go down the wonder

hole of the worm god?” He then added “whatever that is,” seeming slightly embarrassed.

When they weren’t showing videos or trying to integrate light shows, they showcased Zoe Jakes, who I’ll admit an absolute performance master. Jakes and her crew did tribal dancing that was equal parts enthralling, mystical and primal.

Each different dance evoked different images of ancient rituals all the way from Native America to Palestine. When the set featured her, I felt like I was part of some mass pilgrimage to a shrine where Jakes was high

priestess, the iconography and feel of the performance was so strong. And when my eye caught the huge shadows her dancing was reflecting on the wall, I felt like I had just walked into the Temple of Doom.

That said, I go to a concert to hear music. And when musical diversity is thrown aside in favor of creepy videos and spiraling light shows, I can’t help but leave feeling let down. If I wanted to dance to fancy beats, I could skip the ticket fee and buy an iPod dock.

Great HarvestLet’s be honest, who

doesn’t love the smell of freshly baked bread? With everything from honey whole wheat to cinnamon raisin and the Regular Challah, there are plenty of varieties to choose from. Plus, if you’re there in time for a meal, they can turn any of the delectable breads into a sandwich masterpiece. For 50 cents you can sample any type of the breads on offer.

Nancy P’s CafeIf you are looking for

perfection in baked goods, Nancy P’s cafe is the place to go. Their chocolate chip scone is a buttery, flaky, chocolatey gem. Their carrot cupcakes are not only a sight to behold due to the giant carrot drawn in cream cheese frosting on the top, the taste is impeccable.

Sparrow BakeryThe Sparrow Bakery’s

Ocean roll is a Central Oregon staple. Made using a traditional croissant dough, the rolls are the perfect delectable combination of croissant and cinnamon roll. The flaky exterior with a filling of sugar, vanilla and cardamom creates a flavor you won’t soon forget. The Chocolate Bouchon was also a winner. This is certainly not your grandmothers brownie recipe. It is a dressed up dense, sophisticated treat with a slight hint of espresso and sea salt. These cork-shaped beauties are a pastry masterpiece.

Westside cafeWestside cafe is halfway

between a breakfast cafe and a cakery. You can judge the the taste of the Westside Cafe’s pastries by their looks. The bakery creations are beautiful. The cupcakes are delicately designed with giant frosting polar bears, palm trees and ladybugs. The cookies are to die for. Westside Cafe bakers have perfected the balance of making a giant cookie with just the right amount of a buttery kick.

The Bobcats baseball team is currently the only National Collegiate Baseball Association member from a community college. Central Oregon Com-

munity College’s team is currently three wins to three

losses in league games this season, according to Bill Dou-glass, director of clubs and intramural sports.

“We play against a lot of universities that have bigger teams,” Douglass said.

Sometimes the opposing teams come with 24 players and are able to select who plays. The COCC team typi-cally has less than 15, requiring all to play every game. Despite this difference, the team has been successful both overall and in league games, according to Douglass.

“We have a good group who are great to work with and can go up against a lot of bigger schools,” Douglass

said. The COCC team has been a NCBA recognized organi-

zation for about eight years, but has been organized as a team long before that time, according to Douglass.

“It was students who originally approached us about starting the team,” Douglass said. “There have always been enough students who are interested to make it vi-able.”
