Dear Central Oregon Community College,
First off, allow me to congratulate Central Oregon Community
College on making a difference in the lives of so many students for
the past 50 years. The event planned to celebrate those 50 years in
the community was held this last Thursday at 5 p.m. I take issue with
a half century of excellence culminating with one of the largest park-
ing debacles I have ever witnessed (second only to the Sasquatch
festival). I understand that no course of action is free of laws or mis-
steps, and we can only hope that those affected by our decisions re-
alize we only have the best of intentions. That said, I believe I speak
for a large number of students in asking “Did you really think that
closing Barber Library and OSU Cascades/Pioneer parking lots on a
Thursday to be the most thought out decision you could have made?”
Perhaps those responsible for the event were immersed in a bliss-
fully nostalgic trance waxing poetic about the great deeds COCC
accomplished over last 50 years. Maybe they were thinking about the
past, perhaps they were looking into the future. They were certainly
not thinking about today and the students they inconvenienced. We,
the current, paying, attending students - we had classes, tests to take
and vehicles which required parking spaces. Students were forced
to park illegally, many did so in bike lanes forcing the more earth
conscious commuters among us to peddle out onto the roadway to
mingle with rage illed drivers. Are you beginning to see the problem here? I realize that it must be dificult to orchestrate such a momen-
tous occasion and I wouldn’t pretend to have to have all the answers.
I would like to make one suggestion. Next time plan it for a Friday.
Warmest Regards,
Ian Smythe

Those hoping to hear Bobcat Radio on air will have longer to wait. Due to course
failures and setbacks have led college administrators to consider a new course approval
process and put all new courses on hold until the fall.
“What has happened when we’ve brought on new programs is that we’ve had some
bumps,” said Vice President of Instruction Diana Glenn.
Recently, a course on composites for Central Oregon Community
College’s aviation program was cancelled due to a lack of support
from local businesses and an instructor that pulled out at the
last minute, according to Glenn. Additionally, the college’s new Non-Destructive Testing and Inspection program
for the Radiographic Testing Certiicate was put on hold because the college cannot afford the instruc-
tors’ fees.
The new course approval process is aimed at
ensuring that these issues are resolved before
the courses are launched and marketed to stu-
dents.
However, the new course approval pro-
cess, entitled “New Transfer Focus: Develop-
ment Process,” is still in the draft stages and
has not been formally approved by the presi-
dent of the college.
Until the new process is approved, all new
courses and programs are “getting put on hold”
until the fall, according to Glenn.
According to Glenn, it usually takes anywhere from one to two years for new courses and pro-
grams to be approved.
How this affects the
radio station
According to Glenn, the new course approval process was in its early stages when Professor of Speech and Writing Jon Bouknight
submitted the three page “Proposal for COCC LPFM station and Media Arts Sub-Focus in the Speech Area” to the President’s Advisory Team earlier this year. As a result, the proposal submitted by Bouknight was not able to meet the new requirements.
“The radio station is coming through without the ability to use that new program
process because it was being developed […] as the radio station was moving forward,”
said Glenn.
Another major factor in PAT’s decision to deny the proposal for the radio station was the need for approval from the college’s Facilities Services for rooms from which the
station could be run and operated; however, the Facilities Services will not meet again
until the fall.
While the $25,000 proposed cost to fund the radio station and associated courses
was not considered unreasonable – “The funding structure here is nothing unusual
and less than many of our new programs,” said Glenn – though a lack of
funding was cited as one of the reasons for the program’s denial.
“The reason I was given was that the lack of funding grant-
ed in the Fall of 2014 meant that the Spring PAT group was unable to fund in the Spring,” said Bouknight.
According to the latest proposal submitted to PAT, the irst application for the license to operate the ra-
dio station back in 2001 was approved, but “no
money was allocated for the equipment.”
From 2005 to 2009, non-credit courses were
offered to students in conjunction with Bend’s KPOV radio station, which did not require
Central Oregon Community College to have
its own facilities and equipment.
Yearly requests for approval for facilities,
equipment and the associated courses have
been denied since the new license was ac-
quired in 2013.
In order to comply with the terms of the li-
cense “September 2015 will be the end of the
two years required to have a radio station on the
air,” according to the proposal. “There is a potential
to apply for a six-month extension.”
“So, it might be spring or, in all honesty, it might
be a little longer, depending on how quickly you can get
through and jump the hoops,” said Glenn.Alternative options include offering a course on radio broad-
casting without the use of a radio station or offering non-credit courses
to students through COCC’s community education program, but the latter would
be more costly for students.

Sixty percent of the criteria for determining tenure
eligibility is primarily based on reviews and evaluations.
This includes student evaluations and faculty reviews,
according to Central Oregon Community College’s Ten-
ure Guidelines.
In March, ive COCC instructors and professors were granted tenure: Dr. Justin Borowsky, Mr. Monte Cheney,
Mr. Josh Evans, Dr. Annemarie Hamlin and Dr. Tony
Russell.
“Student evaluations are frequently cited in reports
written by the professor’s Designated Evaluator who
will review evaluations and look for both the good and
bad,” said Joshua Evans, newly tenured assistant profes-
sor II of spanish.
According to Annemarie Hamlin, newly tenured as-
sociate professor of english, student feedback is partic-
ularly important during a professor’s irst two years at COCC.
“Student opinions on course evaluations [help] me
grow professionally and growing professionally helped
me achieve tenure,” said Hamlin. “Trends in student
opinion over time help me see my growth and successes
- and occasional failures - as an instructor.”
The remaining 40 percent of the criteria used to de-
termine tenure eligibility is divided equally between the
demonstration of “professional improvement” and “ser-
vice to the college and service to the community,” ac-
cording to the guidelines.
“When [instructors] are initially hired, they are hired
as tenure-track faculty, meaning they are expected to
meet all of the criteria for tenure within the ive-year probationary period,” said Jennifer Newby, instructional
dean and member of the tenure committee.
Faculty who are hired as tenure-track are expected to
meet the criteria for tenure by the time of their tenure re-
view after ive probationary years, according to Newby.
The lengthy tenure process is as important for stu-
dents as it is for instructors, providing stability and se-
curity for instructors, and quality assurances for students.
Students ultimately beneit from having tenure-track professors who have experience at the college level and
are committed to supporting the department, according
to Ralph Phillips, tenured associate professor of comput-
er and information systems and member of the COCC
tenure committee,
“Students can get some assur-
ance that if their teacher is tenured,
they’ve been here for some time
and have had their ile reviewed for quality and substance,” Phil-
lips said.
Job security and academic
freedom
Historically, tenure positions
were created to prevent teachers
from being ired for minor or un-
substantiated claims, or outlandish
teaching practices such as teaching
evolution or, in the case of women,
“getting married or getting preg-
nant or (gasp) wearing pants,” re-
ported M.J. Stephey of TIME.
“Teachers too demanded pro-
tection from parents and admin-
istrators who would try to dictate
lesson plans or exclude controversial materials like Huck
Finn from reading lists,” reported Stephey.
“It provides some protection for teachers so that they
can’t be ired for teaching unpopular topics or contro-
versial topics,” said Phillips. “If a sociology teacher was
discussing systemic reasons for violent interactions be-
tween police and minorities, that teacher wouldn’t feel
threatened with dismissal if they had tenure protections.”
For Evans, tenure represents stability and conirma-
tion in his career path.
“That is very important on a personal level, as I know
I can continue to support my family for the foreseeable
future,” Evans said. “On a professional level... I feel like
I made the right decision deciding to teach Spanish for
a living.”
Tenure also assists in supporting academic freedom,
according to Evans
“I am allowed to teach and express my opinion with-
out fear of unjust repression,”
Evans said. “This isn’t a carte
blanche to do whatever I want to
- I still exercise restraint, good
judgement and wear pants when
I teach, but it is comforting to
know that COCC is committed
to me as a professional, and it in-
spires me to be the best I can be
in the classroom and out of it.”
For Hamlin, tenure offers an
opportunity to expand her ap-
proach to teaching and increase
involvement on campus.
“Having tenure gives me a
sense that I can experiment a
little bit more in my teaching,
explore some new aspects of my
job and take on some new kinds
of leadership roles at the col-
lege,” said Hamlin.
Phillips pointed out that there are a few extra steps
involved in dismissing a tenure-track professor.
“The process involves giving at least six months no-
tice to the teacher and then there are opportunities for
appeal and rehabilitation, if appropriate,” Phillips said.
“The beneit of paying respect to teachers by awarding tenure status far outweighs the negatives of a 6-12 month
process of iring a bad [tenure-track] teacher.”

Tenured instructors have more fun
“This isn’t a carte blanche to do whatever I want to - I still exercise restraint, good judgement and wear pants when I teach.”

OSU-Cascades announces commencement speaker
Former investment professional turned adventurer and business leader Emilie Cortes will deliver the 2015 OSU-Cascades commencement address. The commencement ceremony takes place June 14 at the Les Schwab Amphitheatre.
“Emilie embodies both professional excellence and personal passion,” said OSU-Cascades Vice President Becky Johnson. “Her story of taking a risk to ind her true professional calling will inspire our graduates as they prepare to embark on their own careers.”
In 2012, after a 17-year career, Cortes left the inancial services industry to pursue a career in adventure travel and mountaineering. Cortes is currently president of Call of the Wild
Adventures Inc., an adventure travel company leading excursions for women. Cortes has climbed on six of the seven continents and made her home in Central Oregon in 2013.
OSU-Cascades students learn digital
painting skills
The 2015 Bachelor of ine arts graduates from the OSU-Cascades program are the irst Cascades class to have developed skills and techniques in digital painting.
Artwork from the class will remain on display at Central Oregon Community College’s Rotunda Gallery in the Barber Library through June 12.
Digital painting demands a knowledge of the formal elements of shape, space, perspective, value, color, line, texture and pattern. This knowledge must be applied to composition using the principles of design; balance, emphasis, focal point, scale, proportion, unity, variety, rhythm and repetition. Behind all techniques is critical thinking. The artist must form an idea and then develop that idea with their skills in art.
COCC Native American Salmon Bake The annual Native American salmon bake
will take place on May 30. The traditional event, which will be held on the Central Oregon Community College Bend campus is designed to give local Native Americans an opportunity to share aspects of their cultural heritage. The event is free and open to the public. There will be lunch, cultural dance performances throughout the day, storytelling by Ed Edmo, kids’ table with free crafts and vendors.

This year only three students
applied for the three open coun-
cil positions. Though the numbers
are low for applicants, it is an im-
provement over the 2014 Associ-
ated Students of Central Oregon
Community College where no
students originally applied during
the irst application cycle. In addition to the low numbers
of applicants, only 91 students
participated in voting for the can-
didates through the BlackBoard
site. That means that only 0.5 per-
cent of the student body elected
next years student leaders.
Last year, 210 total votes were
cast after applicants were found,
according to Gordon Price, Direc-
tor of Student Life.
“The participation level both
of candidates and voters is a con-
cern. A concern we have been
dealing with for years,” Price
said.
This year, Student Life in-
creased promotional material to
attempt to encourage student in-
volvement in both applying and
voting, according to Price.
“We tried to expand the mes-
sage to students, but to no avail,”
Price said. “I do think it is a re-
lection of the overall campus culture, not just in regard to
ASCOCC. It is also the nature,
I think, of community college
in general and speciically our students. They are here mostly
for classes, the majority are not
interested or don’t have the time
to participate in extracurricular
activities.”
Election results
Connor Westover was elected
as president, Jorilynn Messner
was elected as Vice President
of Legislative Affairs and Lee
Heckman was elected as Vice
President of Student Affairs.
One of the main challenges for
the incoming council is getting
used to the system, procedures
and processes, according to Price.
“Each year we have a new
council and it takes some time to
get new students up to speed and
the working of ASCOCC.” Price
said. “Other challenges are decid-
ing how to spend the funds they
are entrusted with, establishing
the focus for the year and deter-
mining the best way to serve the
students.”
The appointed positions will
be decided on by an appointment
committee who plans to meet and
conduct interviews over the next
few weeks, according to Price.

Unique insights into the things that shape our
communityFeatures6 The Broadside | May 20, 2015

Retirement. That is a word that doesn’t cross enough people’s minds until it is
staring them in the face. However, in today’s economy, it is never too soon to begin
investing and planning, according to Dr. John Rhetts.
This summer, Rhetts is teaching a four-
session course called Your Money & Your
Brain: Avoid Investment Pitfalls to help
give people skills to begin planning early.
The course will look at the psychology
of investing and how human brains of-
ten “skew” investment decisions, Rhetts
explained. There is no fee for full-time
COCC students. For all others, the fee is
only $79 for the full class.
“In today’s world, we individually need
to manage money in a reliable and effec-
tive way,” Rhetts said. “But the human
brain is hardwired to fool, confuse and
defeat us.”
This course will approach investment
decisions from a completely different di-
rection than most traditional investing
courses, according to Paul Stennet, COCC
program manager.
“What appeals to me about this class
is that it gets at the core of our thinking,”
Stennet said. “It helps us discover what is
going on inside our minds when it comes
to investing money. This is the class you
take before you take the how to invest
class. You will get a lot more out of it after
you encounter your own thinking.”
Retirement is a fairly new idea in west-
ern culture. Not until 1900, after the aver-
age life-span increased dramatically, did
countries began exploring the idea of re-
tirement, Rhetts explained. By the 1970s,
more than two-thirds of all retirement in-
come came from what are called “deined beneit” investments, where large organi-zations collect money, invest it and the retired person receives a guaranteed beneit. Under that system, individuals were not responsible for managing their retirement
assets to receive the retirement income. This is no longer the case.
In the U.S. today, less than one-third of retirement income is guaranteed to the
recipient, according to Rhetts. This creates an even more urgent need for people to
know how to effectively save, invest and withdraw any retirement assets they have,
Rhetts explained.
“Good rules of investing can help you, but not if you undermine yourself by not
understanding and actively counteracting some of the deeply ingrained psychologi-
cal vulnerabilities we humans demonstrate when we make money decisions,” Rhetts
said.
Not just to plan for retirement
One of Rhetts’ motivations for teach-
ing this course is to educate people about
investment decisions earlier in their lives.
“It really is atypical and even unusual
for folks in their 20s and 30s to be inter-
ested in what their inancial affairs may be in their 60s and 70s,” Rhetts said. “Mil-
lennials lack nothing in intelligence – ‘re-
tirement’ is just too far away. ‘Future self’
is at best a very vague concept for almost
everyone: right up until it is staring you
in the face.”
It is never too early to begin planning
for the future and retirement, according to
Rhetts.
“In today’s world, if you are going to
keep your retirement from being an exer-
cise in poverty, you need all the time you
can get to invest as much as you can, for
as long as you can,” Rhetts said. “Truly,
no one is going to do it for you.”
Rhetts pointed out that most humans
have a “strong tendency to skew our
judgements by anticipating rewards and
fearing losses and by being overconident in our own and others’ predictions.”
Often, individuals feel there’s less risk
if they have an “expert” advisor managing
their investments; however, according to
Rhetts the same considerations apply:
“You need to understand not only how

Start planning for retirement NOW

In April 2015, the list of the Most Fit & Friendlyiest-
Cities in America came out on Smartasset.com and the
Hufington Post. Bend Oregon came up at number 6. The indings combine research data for itness trainers per ratio or people in the city, sporting retailers in the
city along with fast food restaurants that have quick
service per amount of people who live in the city.
Students are a large part of supporting the indings, according to Julie Downing, Health & Human Perfor-
mance director at Central Oregon Community College.
“Recreational opportunities attract students who
are interested in outdoor activities as well as those in-
terested in having a career in the health itness area,” Downing said, “There are instructors in COCC who
have their personal trainer certiicates such as Down-
ing, Ruth Ann Clark, and Jenny Cruickshank who is a
wellness coach also.”
“Everything is geared for activity outdoors in many
different environments,” said Shannon Aberro part-
time HHP dance itness instructor. “ If you live in Bend there is really no way out of participating in sports in
some sort of way.”
Some of the students who attend Aberro’s dance
classes are there for many different reasons, some are
super itness buffs, some want to have fun and some are there to work at losing weight and getting into bet-
ter shape, according to Aberro.
“Bend being on the top ten list of Most Fitness
Friendly cities makes sense, it has a great deal of out-
door events that occur here. Just try going to another
state for example Minnesota, sit in a park and observe,”
Aberro said. “There are not as many people actively
participating in itness due to a lack of opportunity.”

On Thursday May 14th, Central Oregon Community College celebrated
the school’s 50th anniversary. All day around campus different departments
organized events and presentations that were open in the evening. The event
had sections depicting the humble beginnings of the school that were cre-
ated by students and faculty. At the Robert E. Barber Library photographs
depicting the different presidents throughout history were accompanied by
their own personal biographies. Along with that, the library staff showed
the community members and student families the history of how the Robert
E. Barber Library came to be; from the design, to the construction, to the
grand opening.
At the Science Center, engineering students put on a display of remote
control robots and a self contained greenhouse.
However, the biggest event of the night took place at the Campus Center,
there the First Nation students had traditional dancing and clubs like the
Multicultural center, Central Oregon Psychology Enthusiast, and Associated
Students of Central Oregon Community College had activities and food for
visiting student families and community members.
At 5:45 pm President Shirley Metcalf addressed the crowd and
thanked everyone for being there. She also addressed the previous four
COCC presidents who attended the event and thanked everyone for their
service to the school and the community. Afterward, Jim Weaver, Ex-
ecutive Director of the COCC foundation took to the audience to talk
about Bob and Joyce Coats who were being honored for their legacy at
COCC and would have their name added to the Campus Center, making
it the Coats Campus Center.
“I could not be more honored and pleased to be speaking to you for
so many reasons. I had the absolute pleasure to have been friends with
Joyce Coats for seven years and through that experience I came to honor
so much what she and her husband made possible.” Weaver said ad-
dressing the attendees. “Bob was one of the irst Central Oregon Com-
munity College foundation trustees in serving around 1950. Both he and
his wife were a couple that really wanted higher education to happen for
their children and their community. They recognized that at Bend High
School [where the COCC was located at the time] was not serving the
need.”

...continued from page 9,
Weaver expressed the Coats’ commitment to education
and that by the 1960s the couple had acquired a great deal of
land in the city of Bend.
“The way Joyce put it was that an Iowa farm boy could not
have too much land.” Weaver said.
And so in the late 1960’s Bob and Joyce Coats approached
Don Pence, who was then the current president of COCC and
offered to donate 80 acres of Awbrey Butte he owned, land
that today has become the core of COCC, where the campus
center, the Barber Library and the Health careers center are
located.
“Not only did Bob and Joyce Coats offer the land, Bob of-
fered to be directly responsible in working with the college in
development and eventually the school received an additional
70 acres.”
Weaver recognized to the crowd of attendees that patrio-
tism, love of family, appreciation for education, and vision
where elements that came together in Bob and Joyce Coats
and that thanks to their deeply generosity they have helped
change the lives of tens of thousands of people in the form of
students, faculty, and administrators.
Bob and Joyce Coats have passed away. However 30
members of their family were present at the anniversary
event to pay homage to the couple and receive the honor on
behalf of Bob and Joyce Coats. Among them, was Annette
Coats, oldest daughter of Bob and Joyce, she spoke of the
hard work and commitment that characterized her father,
and the drive and love from their mother.
“Both my mother and my father knew that education
was really important.” Coats said, “She [Joyce] frequently
would tell me that an education was something that no one
could ever take away from you. Once you had it, you had
it. You could lose your house, lose your car, but you could
never lose your education.”
Both Annette and her younger sister Linda attended
COCC, with Linda receiving her nursing degree from the
school. Annette praised COCC’s commitment to students,
specially its adult demographic by saying that COCC of-
fers the change for adults to “change their job, change their
career by attending a college and still be home at night with
their kids” and she stresses that that would be something
her father would be proud off. Coats inished addressing the attendees by speaking on behalf of her late mother and
father.
“One other thing I’d like to touch on is to thank Dr. Met-
calf, the board of directors and Jim Weaver who have been
all so very wonderful, because although my parents were the
kind of people who could care less about having a building
named after them, it means so much to my family and me that
this has happened. They’re gone [Bob and Joyce], but the leg-
acy they left behind, the message that it sent to the rest of my
family, it’s the best thing that could ever happen,” said Coats.
With that Jim Weaver thanked every member of the Coats
family and made the announcement that from the point on,
in memory of Bob and Joyce Coats, the COCC campus cen-
ter would be called the “Coats Campus Center,” to honor the
legacy of the late couple.
“Central Oregonians and COCC today say thank you, out
of all the buildings on campus who might be named after Bob
and Joyce Coats, there is no more appropriate one then the
Campus Center and for it to now and forever more be made
in to the Coats Campus Center,” Weaver said. “Bob and Joyce
have passed on, but their legacy continues today and their
legacy will continue in the lives of their kids and of everyone
who attends COCC in the future.”

how to guide for everything.
Brayan’s
I want to introduce
the guide that will
make your life
easier and will help
you with everything
from student life to
personal life. Learn
it, live it, love it.
Brayan GonzalezThe Broadside
This whole year we’ve addressed ev-
erything from anniversaries, to dating,
from partying to family and everything in
between. However, nothing is more im-
portant then addressing your future. We
all know that college isn’t forever, sooner
or later we all have to face reality, get
serious and grow up. Alot of times this
comes in the form of looking for a job.
No, I’m not talking about getting a job flipping burgers and asking “Would you like fries with that?”
What I mean is that, we are all in col-
lege to better ourselves and better our fu-
ture. And so in honor of that, this column
will be dedicated to giving you valuable
information about helping you land that
job, internship, or position that will per-
haps change your life.
1: Buy an outfit: Employers make the decision to hire someone within the first ten seconds of meeting them. Needless to say, first impressions are everything. For guys this means having either a suit
and tie or a really nice button down shirt
with dress pants that makes you look
professional and for girls either a pant-
suit or a professional and classy looking
dress should do the trick.
2: Create a stellar resume: Resumes
are a tool that by now I hope everyone is
familiar with. Dont be afraid to spice it
up and sell yourself on it. When writing
it, try to stay away from phrases that say
what you want and instead say some-
thing like how you in particular will be
the solution to the companies issue (if
they have one) or how you will push the
company to the next level. Dont be afraid
to brag, but do be sure that you do not lie.
3: Seek resources: There is nothing
wrong to admit that you need help. COCC is filled with career counselors that their only job is to make sure you get a job.
Seek them out at the CAP center (bottom floor of the library) and don’t be afraid to ask them for help in anything you need.
Nine times out of ten you will walk out
with new knowledge and tools that are
imperative.
4: Practice: One never knows what
types of questions interviewers are go-
ing to ask. However, you can still prac-
tice responses for generic questions like “What is your biggest strength and weakness.” You can practice sounding confident and deliver a smooth, yet con-
cise response.
5: Go for No: Truth be told, there will
be those jobs where you are going to be
rejected. Don’t let that discourage you.
A lot of times in the face of rejection is
when one realizes what we truly want.
And as cliche as this sounds remember
that when one door closes another is
bound to open. So don’t be afraid to hear the “no,” but instead use it as a drive to more past it. As I mentioned already, finding a job, even if its for the summer is very impor-
tant for everyone. after all, you cannot live of off financial aid forever, so don’t be afraid to seek resources and talk
to people who have been in the place
where you are now. Ask for advice and
the tools necessary. But above all re-
member to TREAT YO SELF!
Now, for the ninth entry in the series
of Guy-code and Girl-code, The guide to
Today’s Young People:
#9: No man shall ever be required to
get a gift (birthday, Christmas, Anniver-
sary, etc.) for another man. Remember-
ing the holiday is optional but can only be addressed with a nod and a “con-
grats” and a handshake as an option.
#GUYCODE
#9: Thou shall never say the “F” word. Especially to another well respected and admired woman. And by “F” word I mean Fat. #GIRLCODE

suggestions for the next issue of Stu-
dents How to guide for everything, Or

Even a Grammy Award winning
band can have a bad night. Let’s hope
that’s what happened with the Los
Lonely Boys during their performance
on May 7. Their music was as to be ex-
pected but their stage performance was
more than shabby.
When you pay to see a concert
you’re also paying for a great stage per-
formance. For this concert I would’ve
been better served listening to a CD in
the comfort of my home.
There were moments when I felt
like falling asleep. They had little cha-
risma and they kind of just stayed in
one spot, not moving. It seemed as if
they almost did not want to be there or
that they wanted to just do their songs
and move onto their next show.
To add insult to injury, their tickets
were around $40 apiece. For that price
to be fair, I’ve seen cheaper shows that
were far more entertaining and con-
certs where I couldn’t stay in my seat.
Los Lonely Boys come from San
Angelo, Texas. They are a sibling
trio with Henry Garza on guitar, JoJo
Garza on bass and Ringo Garza Jr. on
drums.
Their music background comes
from rock, blues, Tex- Mex, Cojunto
and Tejano.
Their irst debut was recorded in 2003 at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales
Studio in Austin, Texas and Willie Nel-
son sat in for their recording.
When 2004 rolled around, the lead
single “Heaven” resulted in high chart
placements and earned the group a
Grammy Award for Best Pop Perfor-
mance the following year.
They also recorded a single called
“Solid Ground” for the Family Justice
Center of Erie County that won the
Austin-Based CTK Foundations Heart
and Soul grant for 2009. The FJC pro-
vides services for victims of domestic
violence.
At this performance, however, there
was no WOW factor until they played
the song “Heaven.” In this song, Henry
Garza’s guitar abilities were a marvel
along with JoJo Garza’s bass abilities.
They had the crowd involved, they
played stellar on their instruments and
even got a standing ovation.
And then as soon as it began it was
over, leaving not much music for a
pricey ticket.

Still a long journey for the KXBC-LPFM Bobcat Radio.
Central Oregon Community College’s station has had a bumpy
journey to get on the air and, even though the school has denied
the radio proposal, many are not giving up.
Jon Bouknight and his wife, Lisa Bouknight, held the irst Arts Aloud event in the Hitchcock Auditorium on thursday
May 7th with two plans in mind: Raise money for the radio sta-
tion and showcase creative individuals from COCC. The event
featured seven people with a range of talent: from storytelling
to interpreting a song in american sign language. Everyone par-
ticipating in the event, from students to faculty, had one goal in
common: to have the radio station begin broadcasting.
“We shouldn’t have to wait for the school,” said Kelly Law-
er, a student at COCC as well as one of the performers. This
was partly the reason why Bouknight coordinated the event.
Due to much delay, the Media Arts Club has grown tired of
waiting to get the radio broadcasting in order and is taking mat-
ters into their own hands through this event.
“I estimate we need $2,000 to $3,000 for upkeep and main-
taining the station,” said Bouknight. “This doesn’t include the
money needed for an advisor.”
The numbers given by Bouknigh do not account for other
expenses like insurance. Another $1,000 would be needed
for insurance and extra for conferences as well as inding the space for the station, according to Bouknight.
The idea of getting a student radio station has been in ef-
fect since 2001, an idea that has now been fourteen years in
the making.
According to Bouknight, radio is cheaper and easier to pro-
duce and even broadcast.
“Media arts encompasses everything,” Lawler said. “It’s
any sort of self expression and is important to all students.”
This is a prime example of why Bouknight is working to
not only get the radio live and running, but also to acceler-
ate the process of getting a Media Arts program for COCC as
there is currently only a Media Arts club.
Bouknight plans to continue to put on events like Art Aloud
throughout the school year and he also wants locate a studio
space to host the station and get students involved in helping
with the content of the radio.
Contact Professor Jon Bouknight to ind out more about COCC’s Radio Station.
