OREGON COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT PROFILE – ANDREA BALTHASER
A
ndrea 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.
ANDREA BALTHASER
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
“Kitty’s style of teaching made math and has
always dreamed
me think outside of the box and
of pursuing
encouraged me to want to teach a career in
teaching
the same way with my future
high school
students,” Andrea said.
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.

williams lecture series: IMMIGRATION
The Story of the
Postville Raid
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 Community College Central Campus
in Newport. The talk will also
delve into the challenges immigrants 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. history 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 childhood 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 opportunity. 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 volunteer with Centro de Ayuda and The Immigration Information Response
Team.
The OCCC Central Campus is located at 400 SE College Way in Newport. For more information, visit www.oregoncoastcc.org or call 541-8678501.
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.

Nurses take Capitol steps
The 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 legislation 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.

Always priceless, SBDC
classes can even be free
Tuition scholarships available for businesses county-wide
Thanks 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 meeting 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 rampup your online marketing efforts, or to more broadly improve your business
operations across many areas.
Lincoln City grant continues
And, 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 certain 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
