WESTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY

Focused, Innovative, Resourceful, Successful, Together Western Oregon University welcomes robust group of first-generation students

“

here You Belong.” Western Oregon University sounds a clear message and proudly celebrates their firstgeneration college students. Enrollment this fall saw nearly half the student body as the first student in their family to attend college. Speaking to the university’s commitment to first-generation students, Western offers a strong support system and targeted initiative programs designed to make sure these students receive all the tools and resources they need. Founded in 1856, Western is Oregon’s oldest public university and home to roughly 4,000 students, of which approximately seventy percent are Oregon residents. The current fall term shows a five percent enrollment increase over the same period last year, which is the highest increase the university has seen in over a decade. Honoring another milestone of “firsts,” Western celebrates their first-generation college students whose

R2 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

accomplishments have brought them this far. Comprising 47% of the current student body, these individuals face specific challenges that Western is strategically poised to handle. Many faculty and staff, including Western’s president, Jesse Peters, are first-generation college students, making them uniquely qualified to connect with these students. “I want Western Oregon University to provide all students with the best resources to be successful,” President Jesse Peters expresses, “and it is particularly important to me that first-generation students feel welcomed and supported.” Among Western’s 50-plus new Diversity Scholars that were celebrated for the 2023–2024 academic year, a significant number were first-generation college students. These celebrated students were recognized for their academic excellence and commitment to diversity. Their determination to achieve a successful higher education will not only bring about their own success as an individual, but will also bestow a sense of pride and honor to their families. Another “first” found Western Oregon University the recipient of a $2 million prestigious U.S. Department of Education Title III grant for the first time. The primary goal of the grant is to increase retention of first-time students, reduce equity gaps in retention, and foster a sense of belonging among its students. Additionally, a state-of-the-art Student Success Center is under construction and scheduled for completion in 2025. It will house Western’s two robust TRIO student support programs, academic advising, career services, and additional support services, further simplifying access to the types of assistance first-generation students need to succeed. If you are the first in your family to attend college, make Western your first choice! Western Oregon University is located at 345 Monmouth Ave. N. in Monmouth. For information on admissions call (503) 8388211 or email admissions@wou.edu. To learn more about campus life visit their website at wou.edu.

HISTORY

THE HISTORY OF COFFEE

The Humble Bean to Bold Beverage From 9th century North Africa to your local cafe By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

s rain falls from the skies of the Pacific Northwest, so too does coffee pour into the cups of local residents adding pep to their step and steamy, warm, comfort to lift the spirits. But where did coffee come from in the first place, and just how did it become one of the most popular beverages around the world? While no one can definitively pinpoint precisely when coffee was invented, nor the name of the first person to roast coffee beans, grind them, and mix them with water, historians agree that coffee originated in the areas of modern-day Ethiopia and Yemen. Legend tells of a 9th century goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed that his goats, after eating coffee berries, became so energetic that they barely slept all night. Kaldi reported his discovery to the abbot of a local monastery who brewed a drink with the berries which increased alertness for the monks through their long hours of evening prayers. It wasn’t long before word spread to the nearby Arabian Peninsula of the miraculous drink, and traders R12 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

eventually Clement himself, after tasting the new beverage, introduced found it pleasing. Instead of banning coffee, he coffee bestowed his blessing upon the drink. With the throughout Pope’s blessing, the green light went on for coffee the region. throughout Christendom. Illustration of Kaldi While As for the Americas, coffee crossed the Kaldi and the coffee drinking monks are Atlantic in the 17th and 18th centuries from anything but a historical fact, it is known Europe. In North America, coffee arrived in the for certain that by the 15th century, New World from the British via New Amsterdam coffee houses had spread throughout the — later renamed New York by the American Near East. From Turkey to Egypt, these colonists. One event in particular that served establishments became not only places as the impetus for coffee culture in the United to enjoy a hot cup of coffee, but popular States was the tax on tea levied on the colonists spots to socialize, listen to music, play by King George games, and learn of current events. III. The subsequent As for Europe, historians point to Boston Tea Party that the Siege of Vienna by the Turks in 1683 erupted as a result as one of the key events instrumental of this tax spurred in the spread of coffee to the West. In many Americans to the aftermath of the war, coffee from abandon tea for coffee, the Turks made its way to Viennese to the point that locals who became enamored with the Thomas Jefferson later new beverage. As time passed, coffee proclaimed coffee as houses emerged not only in Vienna, but “the favorite drink of throughout Austria and neighboring the civilized world.” countries as well. It is the Austrians who The Caribbean, are credited with the addition of milk Central, and South and sugar to coffee. America owe their Around the same time, the beverage coffee industry to a young French naval officer, Gabriel also arrived in Italy, likely through Venetian traders who ranged throughout de Clieu, who smuggled a seedling from a coffee plant in the Middle East and North Africa. the Royal Botanical Garden in While coffee provoked suspicion in Paris (the plant had been a gift from some, such as the advisors of Pope the Mayor of Amsterdam to King Louis Clement VIII who went so far as to XIV) and transported it across the Atlantic call it the “bitter invention of Satan,”

to the island of Martinique, despite attempts by a saboteur to kill the plant, an attack by pirates, and severe storms at sea. This hardy seedling went on to parent all the coffee trees cultivated throughout this part of the world — a region that has become one of the premier coffee production areas on the planet. Brazil’s famous coffee owes its start to Francisco de Melo Palheta, who was dispatched by the governor of Brazil to help mediate a conflict between neighboring French and Dutch Guiana. Arriving in Cayenne, the capital city of French Guiana, part of Palheta’s mission was to smuggle some coffee plants which were closely guarded by the French. As the story goes, a romantic dalliance between Palheta and the wife of the Governor of Cayenne led to her passing a bouquet to a Brazilian officer containing a coffee seedling concealed among the flowers. This seedling was supposedly the progenitor of Brazil’s coffee industry. Whether the romantic part of the story is true or not, it is documented that Palheta was successful in bringing thousands of coffee seeds and several plants back to Brazil. Gabriel de Clieu By the 18th century, coffee had grown to be one of the world’s most profitable commodities. Consumption and popularity in the U.S. grew, particularly during the Civil War, and enterprising businessmen such as brothers John and Charles Arbuckle grew wealthy selling pre-roasted coffee by the pound to cowboys in the West. James Folger, who peddled coffee to gold miners in California, also profited greatly. Big name coffee brands including Maxwell House and Hills Brothers quickly followed suit. Following World War II, instant coffee was developed, simplifying the coffee-making process, though not necessarily improving the flavor. With the emergence of Starbucks in Seattle in 1971, the quality of coffee available to the consumer improved through better sourcing and preparation techniques. Consistent, quality coffee became available to people across America, with beverages tailored specifically to the palate of each individual customer. Today, the coffee revolution has evolved. Small, independently owned coffee shops are taking it to

the next level. A focus on sustainability, local roasting, and fair trade beans are at the forefront of the new movement. Sourcing, roasting techniques, and brewing methods are all aspects of the equation that today’s coffee entrepreneurs are relentlessly improving in their drive to bring the highest quality coffee to market. So, the next time you’re enjoying a steaming coffee beverage — whether it be a latte, mocha, cold brew, espresso, or just a plain old cup of Joe — know that the history behind the humble coffee bean, and its evolution through time, was a long and arduous journey filled with lively characters, distant places, and enterprising individuals who treasured this miraculous bean of the tropics.

Whether you are a dog lover, a cat person or an exotic animal enthusiast, The Jungle Pet Supply has got you covered. One of the most striking things about The Jungle Pet Supply is their willingness to listen to their customers. Instead of assuming what pet owners need, they ask the community what they want. The Jungle Pet Supply’s owners, Gabby and Krystle, follow Facebook and ask the community what they need and want regarding food, animals and other pet supplies. By doing so, The Jungle Pet Supply can understand their customers’ exact needs and tailor their services to meet them. Gabby has a profound affection for pets that traces back to her childhood, so it was not surprising when she started working for a local pet store. When that store closed, Gabby noticed a void in the community. Driven by her passion for animals, she took a leap of faith and established The Jungle Pet Supply. Gabby and Krystle work as a team, drawing on their individual strengths to create an exceptional experience for pet owners. Recently, they started carrying live bugs and praying mantises because of Krystle’s passion for marine biology, which she is currently studying in school.
