At Oregon Coast Community College, we pride ourselves on Shaping the Future Through Learning. Through the many offerings showcased in this edition of Catch The Wave, we strive to help you shape your own future, whatever your dreams may be.

Created by public vote in 1987, we are Lincoln County’s col-lege. Our purpose is to meet the needs of community members such as you. Whether your goal is to take a single class for enrich-ment (surfing or guitar, anyone?), or to com-plete your first two years of a Bachelor’s degree (will you be a Duck or a Beaver?), or to grow your business by working with our Small Business Devel-opment Center, we can help you realize your goals.

We know you will be pleased with our award-winning faculty, small class sizes, beautiful facilities, and extraordinary support services.

We look ahead to the future to evolve to meet the needs of the many communities in Lincoln County. For

example, we are planning college-credit offerings at our Lincoln City site with the intent that over the next few years students will be able to complete a two-year degree in Lincoln City. We are very excited to bring Seatauqua back to Lincoln County. Check out our exciting new offerings this Spring such as Watercolor Paper Jellyfish Sculptures and The Art of Seaweed Pressing. We continue our Williams Lecture series with a focus on Immigration. Local author Virginia Gibbs will present on her book, “Shattered Dreams: The Story of a Historic I.C.E. Raid in the Words of the Detainees.”

We have added community education classes in surfing, cartooning, and graphic design. Our SBDC continues to help small businesses prosper with class-es like business law and “Winning with Google.” And, a new Community Development Block Grant through Lincoln County offers tuition scholarships for business owners across the county, based on income. If it has been a while since you have taken advantage of all we have to offer, now is the time to take another look.

I am so pleased to be working at OCCC, and to plan for the future of the college together with our wonder-ful students, faculty and staff. We see great things ahead, including growth of the college, expanded offerings, serving more students and learners, and helping to further develop a college-going culture in our county. We look ahead to additional ways to fulfill our mission to enrich the economic and civic vitality of Lincoln County and beyond.

As always, if you have thoughts about how we can best do that, please let us know. We are your college, and we are listening.

Andrea Balthaser started attending classes at Oregon Coast Community College in Fall term of 2011. Her goal was to obtain her

AAOT and then transfer to a four-year college and work towards a Bachelor’s degree. From there she plans to apply for her Master’s degree in teaching.

In June of 2013 she accomplished the first goal, and graduated from OCCC with her AAOT.

She was then accepted to Western Oregon University, where she began classes in September of 2013. If all goes as planned she will graduate in June of 2017 with her Bachelor’s Degree.

Andrea has always loved math and has always dreamed of pursuing a career in teaching high school mathematics. Since arriving on campus at Western, though, she

has decided high school math is not the grade level she wants to teach. She has realized that elementary or middle school is where her passion lies.

She believes that without the foundation and understanding of math for younger students, the rest of math will never make any sense. Preparing students for high school and college math is what she wants to do, so that they don’t struggle later in life, “when it really counts.” Her goal as a math teacher is to get children to not only love school, but to love math as well.

Andrea loved her time here at OCCC and was inspired by her instructors. She felt their dedication to the students and their success was shown through their teaching and their communication with students. Katherine “Kitty” Pavlish was the biggest inspiration of all.

“Kitty’s style of teaching made me think outside of the box and encouraged me to want to teach the same way with my future students,” Andrea said.

Andrea also made many new friendships throughout her journey here at OCCC and she says they were also an inspiration to her along the way.

When Andrea began her adventure – going back to school – it was not an easy decision. She was a mother to two little boys, ages 5 and 1. However, she wanted to be able to provide for her family and she wanted to set an example for them, showing them that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Today, almost four years later, she’s still passionately working towards that dream that began right here at OCCC.

seatauqua


History: The Seatauqua (see- TALK-wa) was a series of work-shops, lectures and excursions (by car, boat and even airplane) that ran for decades in Newport. Coordinated by Oregon Sea Grant, the programs encouraged chautauqua-style discussions by all participants about arts,

sciences, coastal ecology and more. Last year, Oregon Coast Community College and the Hatfield Marine Science Center began the process of reviving Seatauqua, with special events this Fall, Winter and Spring terms. To suggest a topic for an upcoming Seatauqua OCCC Community Educa-tion course, or to ask about serving as an instructor, call 541-996-6222.

Virginia Gibbs, professor emerita of Spanish now living in Newport, will present a reading and discussion of her new book “Shattered Dreams: The Story of a Historic I.C.E. Raid in the Words of the Detainees” at 7 p.m. Friday, April 24, in the Patrick O’Connor Community Room at the Oregon Coast Commu-nity College Central Campus in Newport. The talk will also delve into the challenges im-migrants face here in Oregon.

The presentation is part of OCCC’s Williams Lecture Series.

Published last spring, the book gives the testimonials of 10 workers whose lives were devastated by the largest immigration raid in U.S. his-tory when, in 2008, local and federal authorities entered the Agriprocessor meat packing plant in Postville, Iowa, and arrested what amounted to some 25 percent of the small town’s inhabitants.

With special emphasis on women and children, the stories share the lives of each person, beginning in child-hood and ending after the raid and subsequent jail sentences. The narrations give voice to the immigrants who were detained and imprisoned for identity theft, though the Supreme Court has since declared that action unconstitutional.

In the book, for the first time, the detained workers told their own stories of how and why they came to the U.S., of working conditions in the meat packing industry, of the violent raid itself, and of families torn apart.

“Since I first met and heard these immigrants’ stories,” Gibbs said, “I was struck by how much they wanted to tell people who they were and what had happened to them.” Gibbs and co-author Luz María Hernández decided they had to give these men, women and children that opportu-nity. These true stories vividly portray the fear, violence and harassment suffered by the undocumented, but also show their strength in the face of poverty and inhumane working conditions.

U.S. Congressman Luis V. Gutierrez has said that “Postville is . . . still an image that haunts and inspires me. It is a story that must be told and remembered.” Professor Erik Camayd affirms that the “long-silenced voices of the humble migrants victimized by the federal raid at Postville, Iowa, are recovered at last in this volume.”

Gibbs moved to the Oregon Coast two years ago and has been a vol-unteer with Centro de Ayuda and The Immigration Information Response Team.

The OCCC Central Campus is located at 400 SE College Way in New-port. For more information, visit www.oregoncoastcc.org or call 541-867-8501.

Wendy Williams created the Williams Lecture Series in 1993 in honor of her husband, William Appleman Williams, a noted historian. Williams was known as the “Father of Revisionist History.” He taught American diplomatic history and foreign policy for over 30 years as OSU. His last teaching assignment was at OCCC, where he taught maritime history. Ms. Williams made a donation to the OCCC Foundation to create a fund for the lectures.

The Story of the Postville Raid

Nurses take Capitol stepsThe second-year OCCC nursing students travelled to Salem

on February 10, 2015, to attend the annual “Nurse Lobby Day” sponsored by the Oregon Nurses Association. During Nurse Lobby Day, nurses and student-nurses from across the state join together to learn and discuss legislative issues that are priorities for the nursing profession.

The morning session involved speakers on current legisla-tion such as the Safe Staffing Bill, Blood Drive Safety and School Nurse Staffing ratios. The afternoon included lunch at the capitol building, followed by scheduled meetings in small groups with nurses, their representatives and senators to deliver the concerns of the nurses and to ask for support of our issues during this legislative session.

The students described feeling motivated by being a part of the political process and by seeing the potential nurses have when working collectively on shared concerns. The Oregon Coast Community College nursing students were active participants in the event and represented our college proudly.

Tuition scholarships available for businesses county-wideThanks to tremendous support from Lincoln County and the cities of

Newport, Lincoln City, and Waldport, and diligent effort by the SBDC staff, the Oregon Coast Community College Small Business Development Center has secured a Community Development Block Grant that will help cover the cost of tuition in most SBDC classes and programs for Lincoln County business owners with five or fewer employees, and who meet certain income criteria. Many, if not most, Lincoln County business owners would qualify for grant support if they request it.

The process is simple: Just call the SBDC at 541-994-4166 to request a meet-ing with an SBDC advisor. They’ll provide the necessary forms to determine if you’re eligible, and then will work with you to determine what courses and support are necessary for you to reach your goals, whether it’s simply to ramp-up your online marketing efforts, or to more broadly improve your business operations across many areas.

Lincoln City grant continuesAnd, for businesses located within Lincoln City’s Urban Renewal District,

economic development grant funds are still available from the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency. These funds can underwrite the cost of tuition for cer-tain SBDC classes and programs in an effort to improve the health and vitality of the district’s business community.

For details on all of these programs, call us at 541-994-4166 or visit www.oregoncoastbusiness.com.

The SBDC salutes Ron Spisso, Small Business Management Program Coordinator, on his retirement from full time work on Jan. 1. Ron continues to work half-time and regularly counsels clients while leading this year’s SBM program, along with Misty Lambrecht. Ron is pictured, at left, at his retirement celebration at the Historic Anchor Inn in Lincoln City.

Get Your Recipe to MarketHave you always heard friends tell you, “your strawberry jam is the best

I’ve ever had!” Is your grandmother’s famous celery-seed salad dressing just too good not to share? Are you ready to take your favorite recipe to market?

market is and what they will pay for your special delight. You will also get feedback on what you need to do to get this going, as well as finding out some of the basic rules you need to follow and how to determine what comes next.

Where can you make your product? What kind of packaging should you use? What kind of logo and label would work for your customers?

Where do I want to sell? Online, at a farmer’s market or, in local grocery stores? If stores, how do I get in? All of this will be discussed, as well as receiving help in examining your mar-gins, and sourcing wholesale ingredi-ents – all to answer the question, “can I make a profit?”
