COCC is an affirmative action, equal opportunity

institution.

A woman earns approximately 77 cents

for every dollar a man earns, according to

the American Association of University

Women. What this means for women is that

it takes an extra three months of wages to

make up the nearly 23 percent difference.

Equal Pay Day, on April 14, marks how far

into a year women must work to earn what

men earned in the previous year.

What is possibly more concerning than

those statistics, is that the pay gap has bare-

ly budged in over a decade, according to

AAUW.

This pay gap affects all women but most

dramatically women of color. According to

the AAUW, Hispanic women’s salaries are

typically only 54 percent of a white man’s

salary.

Luckily there are things that can be done

to combat this unequal pay. One of those

comes down to women learning strategies

and learn how to better negotiate for fair

pay. According to the AAUW, improved

negotiation skills will help close the pay

gap. AAUW hosts start smart salary nego-

tiation workshops all throughout the US so

go to aauw.org and ind out how to get more involved.

What will your student fees be used for next year? For

the irst time, Central Oregon Community College estab-

lished a Student Fee Committee to allocate student fees on campus. The committee will allocate fees

to the Associated Students of COCC, intramu-

ral clubs and sports and The Broadside stu-

dent newspaper.

The decision to establish the SFC was collaborative and egalitarian. Prior

to the SFC establishment, however, fees for The Broadside and intra-

mural clubs and sports were allo-

cated by ASCOCC directly. The goal of the SFC is to “provide broader representation to all

of the student led activities

across the board,” according

to Gordon Price, director of

Student Life.

“The student govern-

ment said [that] if you

take the allocation of fees

out of our hands, we feel

that the process would

be more equitable,” said

Price.

The process should

be “collaborative, inclu-

sive, and objective so

that this need is met,” ac-

cording to The Dean of

Students, Alicia Moore.

Moore added that the

SFC has successfully “taken the burden off of ASCOCC, given broader representation to COCC students, and has greatly

increased objectivity regard-

ing the dispersion of student

fees across the board.”

The committee consists of

three non-paid at-large students,

a COCC faculty member and math professor David Lui, as well

as David Dona of COCC Fiscal Ser-vices.

The three students at large are not

participants of ASCOCC, intramurals or The Broadside, which allows them to main-

tain an objective outlook on the process. Lui is responsible for overseeing the students.

Dona is involved with the dispersion of student fees via checking, money

allocation and credit cards.

The budget for the current 2014-2015 school year

is $262,700.00 and the estimated budget for the upcom-

ing 2015-2016 school year is $248,117 according to

Dona. The SFC budget is projected and allocated based on the projected enrollment statistics

each year. This year, ASCOCC received 70 percent of the student fees, The Broad-

side received 18 percent, and the clubs/

intramurals received 5 percent. The

remainder of the unused funds that

each branch does not use carries

over into the following school

year. This year, $20,000 car-

ried over from last year into

the 2014-2015 budget, and

$90,000 dollars is projected

to carry over into the 2015-

2016 budget, for a grand

total to a $110,000 surplus

of funds.

Unused funds can be

dispersed to any intra-

mural sports team, any

sub-group controlled

by ASCOCC, or The Broadside. ASCOCC received $145,300 of

the student fees, which

are used to support vari-

ous clubs, programs,

events and salaries. Af-

ter the SFC determines how much each entity

will receive, Moore gives

suggestions and inal ap-

proval on the allocations.

“My role is to make sure there is no ill inten-

tions in the inal [budget] decisions that are made,”

said Moore.

Moore would also like to

thank the students and faculty of

the SFC for their time and work on the student fee committee.

“I’m very pleased with the pro-

cess,” said Moore.

sue the college. On October 31, James

Briles roommate, Eric Norgaard al-

legedly stabbed Briles multiple times

in their dorm room on the Central Oregon Community College campus, according to Bend Police Department

records.

Norgaard is being faced with charg-

es of attempted murder, first-degree

assault and unlawful use of a weapon

and plead his case on April 17, accord-

ing ot the Oregon Judicial Information Network.

Briles recently filed a notice of in-

tent to sue COCC. A tort claim notice dated March 17 states James Briles

“nearly died” and the extent of his in-

juries, “remains uncertain.”Ron Paradis, COCC director of

College professor Tony Rus-

sell has won a national award

for student feedback. Russell,

COCC humanities professor,

was nominated as a “Turnitin”

inalist for Grading and Feed-

back earlier this year.

Turnitin is a software pro-

gram used in many colleges

and high schools which allows

students to submit work online

for feedback from the instruc-

tor. Russell said his students re-

spond well to the software pro-

gram and he uses it extensively

for feedback.

The award is given to an

educator who has used Tur-

nitin to provide “rich” feed-

back on student work, save

time grading and streamline

the teaching process. Turnitin

All-Stars recognizes educa-

tors who demonstrate a com-

mitment to academic integ-

rity, enhance student learning

by providing more engaging

feedback, or champion the use

of Turnitin at their institution

or district-wide.

In 2014, COCC won the

excellence for Higher Educa-

tion award through Turnitin,

according to Russell. That

award was evaluated off of

how institutions used the Tur-

nitin system over a course of

multiple years, and COCC is

still featured on the Turnitin

website.

Four inalists were picked for the Turnitin Grading and Feedback award and the win-

ner was announced on April

14.

“What interested them was

that I use audio comments

extensively for my students,”

said Russell. “I use positive

motivation to help my stu-

dents [and] I developed a way

to manipulate their class stats

so that it tells me how and if

students are improving. I can

tell over the course of the term

if the class is doing better or

continuing to struggle,” said

Russell.

Russell expressed his ex-

citement to be nominated and

to ultimately win the award.

“It was unexpected. I feel

honored and excited that

COCC will be posted again,”

said Russell, “I feel fortunate

that our institution uses Tur-

nitin and glad we have their

support,” said Russell.


“It was unexpected. I didn’t realize I was going to be nominated. I feel honored and excited that COCC will be posted again.”

Retired dean, Diana Glenn stepped in as interim to ill a top ad-

ministrator position at the college.

Central Oregon Community Col-

lege’s vice president of instruction,

Charles Abasa-Nyarko, submitted

his letter of resignation at the end

of February. His oficial date of de-

parture isn’t until June 30, but in his

letter, Abasa-Nyarko stated: “As we

have agreed [Feb. 27] will be my last day working in the role of VPI.”

Abasa-Nyarko will continue

to receive his salary through June

though he is no longer doing work

in that position.

To ill the position, COCC hired Diana Glenn, retired dean of instruc-

tion, to ill the role as an interim. Paradis said paying an adminis-

trator who has effectively resigned

“is something we don’t normally do,

but something we can do.”

Ron Paradis stated that an agree-

ment to pay an employee who is no

longer completing work is made

“when it is in both parties’ mutual

interest.”

Paradis said, he could not speci-

fy why it would be in the college’s

interest to pay someone who is not

completing any work for the col-

lege.

The college has not decided how

they will select a new vice president

of instruction at the time of print.

Glenn was a faculty member and dean for 25 years before retiring

in 2011. Glenn has been working on projects for the college off and

on since retirement, and said she

doesn’t plan to consider the posi-

tion beyond an interim role through

June.

“I am retired and will work until

the summer only,” Glenn said.The application process for ill-

ing the positon has not been set

yet, according to both Paradis and

Glenn. However, Paradis noted that “discussions are underway.”

“I imagine that the next VP will

have to have previous experience

working in a community college at-

mosphere, along with a Ph.D., and

have teaching experience as well,”

Glenn said.


Instructional VP: Interim steps in during

personnel shakeup Local Sage Grouse Going: In order to prevent sage grouse, a bird species native to the Western half of the United States, from making it onto the Endangered Species List, the Western Governors’ Association released a report on April 9th regarding the conservation of sage grouse habitat, according to The Source Weekly. Oregon is one of eleven states that are featured in the report. Although sage grouse already qualifies under the Endangered Species Act, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service wants to determine if conservation methods via both government and businessescan help negate the destruction of habitat before placing it on the list by September of this year. Nestle’s Plunder: Oregon may be the next stop for the multinational corporation Nestle. According to ClimateProgress on April, 10th the town of Cascade Locks, Oregon applied along with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to trade between state-controlled springs and town-controlled wells. This was done in order to fulfill a proposal by Nestle to build a bottling plant in the town. This comes as Nestle is currently under investigation by the United States Forest Service, for pumping and trans-porting water out of the San Bernardino National Forest with a license that expired back in 1988, according to The Desert Sun. Nestle has been criticized for exploiting California’s water during times of “exceptional drought.” Water taken from San Bernardino National Forest is currently bottled and sold by Nestle under the name Arrowhead.

Dam Decision: Bend City Counsel approved 4-3 the repairing of the failing dam that holds Mirror Pond despite controversy according to The Source Weekly. Bend Park and Recreation District Board has approved for the refitting of the 105-year-old dam. Cougar Life: On Saturday, Apri, 4th, during the evening hours, a male cougar was sighted on a frequently used trail on Pilot Butte by hikers, according to The Bulletin. The cougar was the second to be sighted in Bend and euthanized this year according to The Source Weekly. Offi-cials worry that as Bend continues to become more developed, encroach-ment on habitat will cause a higher rate of encounters with residents and wild cats.

National Blackwater Down: Four Blackwater mercenaries were given lengthy prison sentences on April, 13,th for the 2007 murder of 14 unarmed, Iraqi civilians, according to The New York Times. The massacre, which occurred at Nisour Square in Baghdad, was deemed by prosecutors to be a “wartime atrocity.” Mohammed Hafedh Abdulrazzaq Kinani, whose 9-year-old son, Ali, was shot and killed in Nisour Square, stated, “Black-water had power like Saddam Hussein.” Of the four men, who maintained their innocence throughout: Dustin L. Heard, Paul A. Slough, and Evan S. Liberty each received the mandatory, minimum 30-year prison sentences, while Nicholas A. Slatten received a life in prison sentence. Beneath The Surface: NASA’s Curiosity rover has just discovered a clue in Mars’s soil that could indicate the presence of liquid water be-neath the surface of Mars, according to The Telegraph. The salt Calcium Percholate, has been discovered by Curiosity, which holds two properties that may indicate the existence of liquid water. First, it lowers the freez-ing temperature of water so it could exist in a liquid state below 0 degrees Celsius. Second, it can absorb water, which scientists say means that water in the atmosphere can be absorbed into the salts on the surface. Liquid water on Mars could indicate the existence of microbial life either past or present.

Rolling got Stoned: On Easter Sunday Rolling Stone retracted an article written by Sabrina Rubin Erdely titled ‘A Rape on Campus,’ a story about “Jackie,” a woman who was allegedly gang raped at a fraternity house at the University of Virginia. The story was a “journalistic failure” that had major defects in reporting, fact checking and editing, according to the Poynter Institute.The Columbia Journalism Review also declared ‘A rape on campus,’ “The worst journalism of 2014.” Life or Death: On April 8, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty on all 30 accounts of terrorism related charges for the role he played in the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, according to The Guardian. The same jurors will decide the sentencing next week as to whether Tsarnaev should get life in prison or capital punishment.

International Unprecedented Protest: Some 700,000 Brazilians took to the streets against President Dilma Rousseff and The Workers Party on April 12th, after a corruption scandal involving the state-run oil company Petrobras erupted, according to The Telegraph. An investigation found The Workers Party had inflated contracts and embezzled money for politi-cians and business executives. Protesters responded by calling for the impeachment of Rousseff, while some even have suggested the military should intervene and overthrow her and her party. Whaling Wars: Despite the International Whaling Commissions ban on Japan’s proposal to hunt 4,000 whales within the next 12 years, on April 13, Japan has plans to “move forward with the aim of resuming whaling around the end of the year," according to Vice News. Japan’s claim that its hunting was for scientific purposes was unfounded by IWC, but de-spite this IWC does not have the ability to prevent Japan from continuing its whaling practices. Japan has killed around 14,000 whales since the worldwide moratorium on whaling in 1986. Oiled-Up: Tapes leaked by an unknown source at the Chevron Cor-poration, and released by an environmental group, describe how Chev-ron covered up its oil contamination of the Ecuadorian Amazon after an Ecuadorian court found Chevron liable for $19 billion for clean up costs and punitive damages, according to VICE News. Footage taken March of 2005 show Chevron employees finding massive amounts of oil con-tamination in soil core samples, while attempting to locate a “clean” core sample as evidence for the companies cleanup. Iraqi Treasures: The war for the preservation of Iraq’s antiquities and archaeological sites continues as archaeologists from the University of Manchester find over 300 new artifacts in the Mesopotamian city of Ur, according to phys.org. Despite attempts by Islamic State militants to ‘culturally cleans’ the Islamic world of its antiquities, archaeologists are preserving newly found artifacts, by placing them in the Iraq Museum, a temporary exhibit set up in Baghdad and visiting Universities teaching archaeology.

After 17 years the Massage Therapy Program director

Stephanie Manriquez bids farewell to the campus. Man-

riquez began her educational career in 1998 when she came

to Central Oregon Community College as an aspiring mas-

sage therapist.

Today she owns her own private practice, has a total of

13 grandchildren and just bought a vintage camper that she

plans to use for camping after she hands the reins over to the

new director come September.

“I started the program at [COCC] in 1998 and went

through the certiicate and the degree program, then I had my own practice for several years before I got on the Oregon

State Board of massage therapy and spent eight years there,”

Manriquez said.

After her time at the state board, Manriquez felt it was

time for a change and so came back to the school and pro-

gram she called home.

“I began teaching in the program in 2001, and was in-

terim program director in 2003 and 2004,” said Manriquez.

After a brief period where she left her position to pur-

sue other ventures she made the decision to come back to

COCC and oficially become the director of the program, a position that she’s had as of March 2015. Though it hasn’t

been easy and there have been issues within the programs

that had to been address Manriquez managed to not only

overcome the obstacles but propel the program to the best

its been in years. Recently, the Massage therapy Program

received accreditation under COMTA.

“COMTA is the only accreditation available for schools

that teach massage therapy in the nation. We weren’t re-

quired to but we decided to do it because it shows that our

program goes above and beyond what’s expected,” Man-

riquez said.

Manriquez cites that is not only her that make the pro-

gram the success that it is but the staff and instructors that

back her every step of the way.

“When I took over the program there were several in-

ternal classroom conlicts so we began cleaning out the pro-

gram and making it more congruent and hiring staff that to

this day are still here with me which are awesome staff,”

said Manriquez, “If i’ve done my job correctly when I leave

the program it will be as strong as it ever has been, not be-

cause of whose leading but because the staff is good and

invested.”

As for who will be the next director of the program, Man-

riquez stated that she is very please and happy that one their

very own will be taking the reins. Adjunct Professor of Mas-

sage Therapy Alan Nunes who was hired into the position

after COCC concluded a national search.

Nunes stated that, “Stephanie Manriquez has been an in-

strumental force of strength and knowledge” since shes been

part of the program, and that she “will continue to be part it

in different ways come September.

“I look to continue our ongoing dedication for excellence

within our program, our curriculum and our faculty,” said

Nunes, “We constantly look for ways to raise the bar for our

program and what we offer students who decide to pursue

massage therapy as a career.”

Nunes has been an instructor for COCC for the last sev-

en years, and its excited about the next chapter for the pro-

gram, but always keeping the students best interest in mind.

“Our growth in the quality and balance of both Western

and Eastern studies has been substantial since I came on

board,” said Nunes, “it is my plan to continue that growth in

the best way possible while maintaining a strong presence in

our community outreach work.”

As for what’s next for Manriquez; she plans to still prac-

tice massage therapy in her own private practice and also

states that she will be spending much needed time at home

with her grandchildren and make use of the her newly re-

store vintage camper.

“I’m 67 years old and its time to change direction, I have

6 kids, and 13 grandkids. So I have plenty of things to do at

home,” said Manriquez.

This month, the campus community gath-

ered to relect and pay respect to Holocaust victims. This year Central Oregon Commu-

nity College assistant professor of word his-

tory, Jessica Hammerman, and Rabbi Johanna Hershenson facilitated an event to honor Holo-

caust Remembrance Day.

“The Jewish community asked me, because

we did it last year” Hammerman said of how she got involved in this event. “Every student

here knows about the Holocaust, what I’m try-

ing to do with this event is say, expand our

view intellectually of the history of what hap-

pened.”

The movie “A Secret,” a French ilm, was shown to a crowd of students and community

members at the April 15 event. The movie is

about a Jewish boy born after the holocaust

in France. Jessica Hammerman described the ilm as a “story about someone coming to terms with the past.”

The boy inds out he had a half-brother, Si-mon, who was killed in the holocaust. The family

concealed their actual heritage as to avoid perse-

cution, but Simons mother wouldn’t compromise

who she was and turned herself and her son in.

“I could imagine my will to survive would be

great,” said Hershenson. “I was born after the ho-

locaust, so my allegiance to any large body like

that probably isn’t as strong as generations before

me.”

The father, Francois, later remarried and had a

son from whom he kept his secret.

“It was both beautiful and heartwarming”,

said Hershenson, “and at the same time there was a disturbing element.”

At the end of the evening, Rabbi Hershenson led a memorial ceremony for the many victims.

“It’s unimaginable what happened, nobody

can understand,” said Hammerman, “It’s my goal as a history professor and an advisor of the

history club to make this about education of the

history.”

As part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Saving Grace and

COCC Campus Public Safety presented Take Back the Night at the

Old Mill District. Saving Grace is an organization that provides sexual

assault and violence services and promotes freedom from violence.

The Take Back the Night event was held to raise awareness about

sexual assault in the community. The event had a series of booths or

stations designed to educate people about sexual violence.

Station 1: Healthy Relationships had cards with statements on them

and you had to determine if they are myth or fact.

Station 2: What is Sexual Assault, you had to recognize what sexual

assault is.

Station 3: It’s a community Issue, was about statistics.

Station 4: Speak Out! Silence Hides Violence was about how to

speak out against sexual violence

After completing each station the person running the station would

initial a booklet you receive after arriving at the door. When inished guests then would put the booklet in a collection bin for a drawing.

What will the drought mean for Central Oregon?

January 2015 marked the warmest winter on re-

cord for Oregon since record taking began in 1895,

according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Association.

California isn’t faring any better with 2015 show-

ing to be the driest on record prompting Governor

Jerry Brown to sign the “first ever statewide man-

datory water reductions,” according to the state’s

website ca.gov. This comes a year after Governor

Brown declared a State drought emergency last year

in January of 2014.

While Oregon State does not have the magnitude

of agriculture that California does, parts of Oregon’s

economy is heavily based on agricultural products.

West of the Cascades, in the Willamette Valley veg-

etables, tree fruits, berries, hazelnuts, wine grapes,

hops, diary, and timber are the region’s staple crops,

whereas alfalfa, hay, garlic, and beef cattle make

up Central Oregon’s most profitable agricultural

products, according to Oregon Department of Ag-

riculture. While Deschutes County has not been

hit as hard by the drought, Oregon’s Governor Kate

Brown signed a drought state of emergency for

neighboring Crook County on April 7.

“[The drought] will certainly affect farmers on

the West side more than it will affect farmers on the

East side in the beginning because the West side,

like the Willamette Valley, is much more reliant

upon snowmelt-fed streams, such as the Willamette

or the McKenzie. The Deschutes is driven largely

by stored water in the aquifer,” said Ron Reuter,

associate professor of natural resources at Oregon

State University-Cascades, who teaches soil sci-

ence and ecology.

The aquifer in Deschutes County gets refilled

from both precipitation and snowmelt unlike the

aquifers West of the Cascades that rely solely on

snowpack. As long as we are getting a normal

amount of rainfall, those aquifers can recharge,

Reuter added. “In California they’re in the mid-

dle of probably what is going to be a 10 year

drought,” Reuter said. “They’re reliant, just like

the Willamette Valley on snowmelt getting into

their aquifer, which they don’t have the snow to

get that water in there.”

There are other problems associated with the

water depletion from the aquifer.

“Water is non-compressible, so its actually

holding up a lot of that land area, and what they

are finding is that with aquifer depletion, when

you take that water out you are getting land set-

tling,” Reuter added.

Another effect of the drought, are the impacts

on wildlife habitat, including those on fish life,

and micro-invertebrate (insects) populations.

“For fish it means the stream temperatures are

likely to get warmer and [possibly] too warm for

fish earlier in the season than they typically do,”

said Lauren Mork, monitoring coordinator for the

Upper Deschutes Watershed Council.

One of goals of The Upper Deschutes Water-

shed Council is to monitor stream temperatures

for the Deschutes River, Tumalo Creek and

Whychus Creek, to determine if stream tempera-

tures are too high for survival of native fish spe-

cies including trout, and whether restoration is

needed.

Temperatures are expected reach above 18 de-

grees Celsius this year, which is the biological re-

quirement for trout, rearing and migration. When

temperatures exceed 18 degrees trout cannot grow

or thrive and will even die if the temperatures get

high enough, added Mork.

“This year we are at around five percent snow-

pack in the Cascades, that will affect stream flow

particularly on creeks that don’t have reservoirs

Stream flow is diverted for irrigation on the De-

schutes, Tumalo Creek, and Whychus Creek,”

Mork said.

On the Deschutes River there are reservoirs that

are actually full because we did receive enough

precipitation. On Tumalo Creek and Whychus

Creek where there aren’t reservoirs, we will only

have what is currently stored in snowpack.

The Deschutes River Conservancy is one non-

profit organization that works to restore stream

flow and increase water quality in the Deschutes

Basin.

“One thing we have seen over the years, as

stream flow restoration has occurred the micro-

invertebrate community has become characterized

by species that prefer cooler temperatures, so we

are actually seeing them respond to temperatures

coming down with increased flows,” Mork said.


Where did the water go? How the drought is affecting Central Oregon

“In California they’re in the middle of probably what is going to be a 10 year drought,”

Pot or Not: Student Success and MarijuanaTimothy Cachelin | The Broadside | (Contact: [email protected])

With the legalization of recreational marijuana around the corner,

campus oficials are discussing the effects on students.On July 1, 2015, recreational marijuana will be legal to possess and consume

in Oregon, however, the consumption and possession of marijuana will still be illegal on campus, according to Seth Elliot of Campus Safety.

“We are a federally funded institution, and because of this, the rules here don’t

essentially change, the realities might, but the rules don’t,” Elliot said.In keeping with this, a charge of possession or sale of marijuana could

disqualify students from federal inancial aid. According to the Federal Student Aid website, “[student] eligibility might be suspended if the offense occurred while you were receiving federal student aid.”

Recreational users will face the same prohibitions that medical users currently

face, which according to the Central Oregon Community College Drug Free Campus Policy, means that, “the unlawful possession, use, or distribution of

illicit drugs and alcohol is prohibited on the College campus in all College facilities, or as part of any College-sponsored activity.”

For Campus Safety, the priority is education, according to Elliot.

“The irst 30 to 60 days, that’s going to be a chance to let people know… we will see that window as an educational opportunity, not as a chance to bust

people,” Elliot said.If a student is caught smoking marijuana on campus, they will have the

opportunity to extinguish the contraband and dispose of it. They can also expect a $50 ine, and a meeting with the ofice of student life. According to Elliot, minor offenses generally won’t necessitate police involvement. This, however, will change with possession and intent to sell.

“Distribution is going to be a police call that will have higher consequences,” Elliot said.

Legality aside, Kathy McCabe, a criminal justice professor on campus, doesn’t believe that the legalization of recreational marijuana will have a signiicant impact on student success. “You’re going to have motivated students who smoke marijuana, motivated students who don’t smoke marijuana, unmotivated students who smoke, and unmotivated students who don’t,” McCabe said.

McCabe believes that although there might be some additional experimental use now that it is legal, a majority of smokers will be those who already use marijuana recreationally.

“I don’t think this is going to turn into reefer madness,” McCabe said.Rebecca Walker-Sands, COCC professor of addiction studies, added that amotivational syndrome is not conclusive and there is no proof that

marijuana leads to a long term decrease in motivation. Walker-Sands believes that the regulation of marijuana will take

away the criminal element, which puts individuals into the prison system unnecessarily. The biggest concern for Walker-Sands is the pediatric element. In the same way that drinking before your brain is fully developed can be potentially harmful, so can the consumption of marijuana, according to Walker-Sands.

“Marijuana is the only drug associated with the early onset of psychosis,” Walker Sands said.

as a gateway drug, however, Walker-Sands denies these claims pointing to the textbook, Drug use and abuse, wherein the most recent studies point to tobacco

as a bigger gateway drug than marijuana. In fact, according to Walker-Sands, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical association, states that legalized medical marijuana since 1999, have seen a signiicant decrease in opiate overdoses. No one dies from marijuana overdoses and in fact the amount of THC, the active “high” ingredient, required to kill the average human male is 1998mg, which is equivalent to about 425 joints with 2 percent THC or 140 joints at 30 percent.

“I don’t think it should be maligned the way people are like, ‘oh my gosh,’ nobody dies from marijuana overdose,” Walker-Sands said.

Kevin Fehrs, owner and operator of The Good Leaf Organic Collective, a local medical marijuana dispensary added that, “You’re either going to be happy about it or you’re going to be asleep.”

Despite this Walker-Sands states that while this is true, “That doesn’t mean there are no downsides.”

Marijuana affects memory consolidation, and for students this could mean poorer performance on tests, according to Walker-Sands. In most cases, though, this side effect is only present in the short term when the user is actually high.

“You might feel more in touch with the universe, but your memory is going to [suffer],” Walker-Sands said.

Walker-Sands is also concerned about the growing rate of THC in many marijuana strains, which could lead to an increase in paranoia, anxiety and

psychosis. Additionally, marijuana has been proven to deposit tar in the lungs,

similar to cigarettes. And while marijuana isn’t smoked as often as cigarettes, the way it is smoked still deposits tar. According to Walker-Sands, “They tend to hold it in their lungs longer so there is more exposure per smoke.”

Although both the physical side effects and the legal repercussions must be seriously considered, “It’s

not meth, people tend to just kick

back and go ‘yo baby’ and eat,” said

Walker-Sands.

A fresh look at Central Oregon’s

diverse art and culture sceneArts & Culture


Kristin Castro The Broadside

Thor Erickson worked at a restau-

rant in California for 30 years before

moving to Bend in 1992. He enjoyed

teaching his co-workers culinary tech-

niques and this is what made him pur-

sue a job in teaching. In 2009 Erick-

son got a part- time teaching position

at Cascade Culinary Institute and said

from the irst day he knew he “loved teaching.”

In 2013 Erickson was nominated

for an award by the International As-

sociation of Culinary Professionals for

instructor of the year that he went on

to win. That led to him being chosen

by the International Association of Cu-

linary Professionals to go to the White

House. He had no idea what he would

be doing there or who he might be

cooking for.

“I was just going to roll with the punches,” Erickson said.

When he arrived he irst met with the head of the kitchen staff they talk-

ed about a day of education and team

building and Erickson learned they had

just begun a program of food preserva-

tion. Food preservation can consist of

pickling curing or even making jams.

When he was informed that he would

be teaching the kitchen staff how to

butcher and cure a whole pig Erickson

said he “was relieved.”“That is one of the main skills I

teach at CCI,” Erickson said.

“I gained a lot of knowledge about what people are and if I can teach at

the White House nothing is impos-

sible,” Erickson said. “Students think big things are unattainable when all

they need to do is just ask, just reach

out and try.”

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.


As summer approaches and

school, for the most part, seems to

be winding down, a trend starts hap-

pening. In my case this trend is that

friends and acquaintances begin going

out and date. Honestly, I’m not one to

complain and most of the time when

going out with friends I’m more then

happy to play the wingman. But there

are times now and then when, as is in

my case, that one wishes things we

reverse.

If you’re like me and you’re feeling

down in the dumps and feel encased

in your own private fortress of solitude

read on to ind out how to turn things around.

#1: Get a hobby: A lot of times we

notice there’s something missing in

our life because we run out of things to

keep our mind occupied. If that’s the

case then start a new activity or hobby,

whether is a sport, or arts and crafts

keeping yourself busy will prevent you

from realizing the bigger picture. They

do say that idle hands are the devil’s

play things.

#2: Work a lot more: It’s simple,

if you work more then you don’t have

time to be lonely. And besides, if you

work more you make more money. I

know they say that money cannot buy

happiness. . .but im my experience it

sure does help.

#3: Get a good movie and ice

cream: Nothing beats a good movie

and pint of your favorite ice cream. Set

aside to have an evening all to yourself

and have a date. . .with yourself. eat

and indulge, its good for the soul.

#4: Get a puppy: There is nothing

cuter than a puppy or kitten. Though

keep in mind the life long commitment

you will be making if you do decide to

become a pet owner. . .in a lot of ways

this is a lot like being in a relationship,

except you don’t make your partner do

his/her business out in the front lawn...

or can you? (o_O)

#5: Get set up: If all else fails get

a good close friend to set you up with

someone they think you’re compat-

ible with. This way you take away all

the pressure of going out and inding someone on your own. Though keep

in mind that if it goes south you cannot

hold against your friend. They were do-

ing you a favor.

Overall, we all feel lonely some-

times. It’s human nature, we crave so-

cialization and contact. The takeaway

message for this edition is that if there

is something missing in your life, ac-

tively try to change it, because no one

is going to change it for you. Just re-

member to keep it safe, keep it fun and

keep it classy, but above all remember

to always Treat Yo Self!

Now, for the seventh entry in the

series of Guy-code and Girl-code, The

guide to Today’s Young People:

#7 If your best bud is in a pick-

le and he inds himself incarcer-ated for whatever reason. You

must immediately bail him out. No

questions asked. You’ll thank him

when he returns the favor one day.

#GUYCODE

#7 This should be inscribed on

the back of all phone cases, or the

inside of a bracelet or even your

forehead. Being best friends means

being there for all of each other’s

needs, both shallow and deep.

This includes good selies, bad ones and everything in between.

#GIRLCODE

Now fellow Bobcats, if you have

any suggestions for the next issue of

Students How to guide for everything,

Or if you have any tips please send me

an email, until next time keep it classy.


Emily Kalei has earned her

Mickey Mouse ears and has been

accepted into the Disney College

Program. Read over her shoulder

as she chronicles her internship

in The Disney Diaries.

To be or not to be

Hippos, and Gators, and Rain. Oh My!

“Houston, we have a problem.”

That was the thought that ran through my head

as I watched crowds gather around me. The Jungle

Cruise been closed for nearly ten minutes due to

technical dificulties. It was Thursday of the irst week of Spring Break. The park was projected as

having 55,000 guests– and it felt like all of them

were now staring at me, waiting for an explanation.

A big, tall man wearing his daughter’s bright

pink princess backpack attempted to push passed

me toward the wait cue.

“I’m sorry, sir,” I called as I ran out in front of

him. “We are closed.”

The man looked down at me, his blue eyes

displaying the typical signs of a frustrated, tired,

irritated Disney dad. Clearly, the idea of a 5’3”

twenty-year-old girl blocking his path did not seem

plausible in his mind.

“What?” he said as he inched closer to me.

As if I were stubbornly accepting a dare, I craned

my neck back and looked him in the eye.

“Some hungry, hungry hippos decided they

wanted a boat for an afternoon snack,” I explained

while remaining in character. “So we are sending out

some brave Skippers to handle the situation while

the ride is closed.”

“When will you be open?” He demanded.

“At this time, I cannot give you a time frame,” I

answered before going into the authorized spiel my

coordinators gave me. As I spoke, I saw the frustra-

tion mount in the man’s eyes.

“Okay, cut the show,” the dad said, “What is re-

ally wrong? Why is the ride not open?”

I made direct eye contact with the guest. Out

of the corner of my eye, I saw a group of children

clearly eavesdropping on our conversation. Recog-

nizing my need to keep the magic alive for them, I

held my ground.

“Sir…” I took a deep breath to control my nerves,

“As I said earlier, we had some hungry hippos. So

for your safety, we are closed at the moment.”

The man looked like he was about to explode.

Just as he opened his mouth, a well-manicured hand

grabbed his fore arm. Suddenly, the man stopped to

turn and see his wife giving him the look of shame.

“We will come back, later,” his wife said to me.

She smiled. “Thank you for your patience.”

It did not end with them.

Minute, after minute, I was approached by

guests and bombarded with questions. Every guest

vented their unique frustrations to me. Every guest

presented their own obstacles– including language

barriers. For those who believe a person only needs

to know English, I dare them to come to Disney

World and try to explain the FastPass system to a

family who only speaks Spanish. Or give directions

to a family who only understands Korean. You will

wish you were able to speak their language, and you

will be very good at learning how to draw universal

directions on a map.

After two hours the ride was open. But the night

was far from over…….

…and GATORS…

I glanced down at my watch as I walked towards

the bathroom. I had ifteen minutes to walk to the cast restroom, walk back to the annex, ill my water

bottle, and ix my hair before returning “Onstage.”As I walked passed the boat dock, I heard a hiss-

ing noise coming from the water. Recognizing the

fact that it was mating season, I assumed the ducks

were just acting up like they had been the last couple

days. I ignored it and went on my way towards the

restroom.

On my way back from the restroom, I heard the

same noise again coming from the water. I stopped

by one of the boats. The noise sounded like a throaty,

scratchy hiss– not the sound I associated with a duck.

“Hear them gators, sweetheart?” I heard a voice

yell from the other side of the boat storage.

I turned to see one of the older maintenance guys

watching me piece together the puzzle.

“Gators?!” I yelled back.

“Yep,” he said as he wiped his brow with a

towel. “That’s a gator. We occasionally get ’em back

here during the spring and summer.”

My heart started pounding in my chest.

“Just be aware when you come back here from

now on. They won’t hurt you, I promise. Okay,

sweetheart?”

I nodded my head and began to quickly walk

back to the “Onstage” area to clock back in. At

the moment, I thought the night couldn’t get any

weirder. Little did I know, the Jungle still had one

last surprise for us.

…and RAIN….

I felt as pathetic as I looked as I stood on the

dock.

“Out of all the days I had to forget my rain

gear…” I looked at my coworker Rhodez, “today

had to be the day.”

Rhodez, a girl from Puerto Rico, looked at me

and laughed. It illed the entire que and dock.“You look like a wet puppy!” She laughed. “It

too funny!”

Florida, I discovered, is a lot like Bend in that the

weather constantly was changing. One second, you

could be dying of heat and humidity. The next, you

could be in the process of taking your second shower

of the day. Wet curls clung to my cheeks as I assisted

guests out of boats, reminding them to watch their

steps. The usual khaki color of my uniform was now

a deep brown as the fabric stuck to my body.

Fun fact about myself: ever since I was little, I

have hated the sensation of wet clothes on my skin.

Seriously, I abhor wet cotton– especially cold, wet

cotton. So as I stood there on the dock contemplat-

ing everything that had happened during the day,

I couldn’t think of the poetic irony of my predica-

ment. On the day that had been one of the weirdest

and craziest days of my life, it was only itting that the night end with me facing my own Kryptonite:

soaking wet clothes.

Finally the rain stopped around midnight, and the

heat did return. My clothes dried within the hour and

I was inally free from my own personal hell. We all laughed at what the rain had done to our hair. Some

of the skippers were especially impressed that my

hair looked better after the rain storm, than before it.

That night, I crawled into bed and passed out

within minutes of my head hitting the pillow. Look-

ing back on it now, it felt like a dream. A very weird,

wet, awkward dream. But I realize that the memory

of the day from Oz will stick with me– like cotton on

a rainy, Floridian evening in March.

Hodian, a composer, conductor, and pia-

nist whose music combines his Armenian

roots with classical composition tech-

niques and free improvisation,” according

to his website.

Over the past 15 years, Hodian has

scored over 250 documentary ilms and won the New York Emmy award for “Best

music for a documentary.”

Before attending this concert,

I’d never heard Armenian music before.

Within a few minutes of the opening, I

was a fan. Armenian sound and songs

come from is based on their tragic life

which makes it sound mournful, haunting

and nostalgic some of the songs are sung

in a dead language.

Williams is the master of Armenian

music. When she sings you can feel every

emotion just by looking at her face. You

can hear the story in the way John Hodian

plays on his piano, you can even hear it

in the drums there 11 year-old son, Jack

Hodian, plays. The music, the songs, the

whole atmosphere pulls you in and makes

feel for the words that are sung. By the

time the song is over you understand what

the story was about. One of the songs per-

formed speaks of spring and the woman

awaits her beloved to come back so she

can feel his loving arms around her and

feel the joy and happiness she once felt.

The song’s story will leave you breathless

and in tears. The music is amazing anyone

who hasn’t heard Armenian music I sug-

gest give it a listen you may fall in love.

Fusing the art of theatre, poetry, and

music, YO MISS! is a sometimes fun-

ny, sometimes sad, always truth-telling

show about one woman overcoming

her own traumatic experiences as she

helps immigrant/refugee teenagers and

incarcerated youth grapple with the

cataclysmic events that shaped them.

Using midi-controllers and an origi-

nal musical score to accompany her

compelling performance, Judith Sloan

transforms into a multitude of charac-

ters ages 14 to 80 years young.

Imagine a fusion of theatre, poetry

and music. If that piques your interest,

check out the presentation of Yo Miss

on campus on April 29. Yo Miss is a

funny, sometimes sad, always truthful

show about a woman overcoming her

traumatic experiences as whe helps im-

migrant/refugee teenagers and incar-

cerated youth deal with the cataclysmic

events that help shape them.

“She has interviewed people

who have been in prison,” said Roth.

“She had these interviews and then she

creates a performance around them

where she introduces us to the people

she met.”

The performance is aimed to give

attendees a better understanding of

the events leading up to incarceration

in many situations. This, according to

Roth, is crucial in overcoming stereo-

types regarding incarceration.

“It helps us understand their ex-

periences”, said Roth “We sometimes

have stereotypes about those who are

in prison.”

The performance is being held on

April 29, 2015 from 4pm to 6pm. The

location is Hitchcock Auditorium, 201

Pioneer Hall, Bend campus.

The Denim Day campaign was originally

triggered by a ruling

by the Italian Supreme

Court in which a

rape conviction was

overturned when

the justices felt that

because the victim was

wearing tight jeans

she must have helped

her rapist remove her

jeans, thereby implying

consent. As a visible

means of protest against

the misconceptions that

surround sexual assault,

make a social statement

through fashion by

wearing jeans and a free

button you can pick up

at the Campus Center

building reception desk.
