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.”

-Joshua Evans, assistant professor II of spanish.

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.

Donations will be accepted for the First Nations Student Union scholarship fund. The event is sponsored by COCC’s First Nations Student Union, associated students and Native American Program. For information, call 541-318-3782 or visit www.cocc.edu/Native-American-Events.

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

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

investing works, but also recognize how

and when you and any advisor may be

getting off track,” Rhetts said.

The course will demonstrate areas of

psychological vulnerability and help explain straightforward investing principles. To

info available]

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

Now fellow Bobcats, if you have any

suggestions for the next issue of Stu-

dents How to guide for everything, Or

if you have any tips please send me an

email, until next time keep it classy.

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.
