Achieving the Dream bestows highest honor
to Southwestern Oregon Community College for improved student success
Achieving the Dream (ATD), a national organization committed to advancing community colleges as accessible hubs of learning, credentialing, and economic mobility, today awarded the Leah Meyer Austin Award, its highest recognition, to Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC).
The award, given annually, signifies a college’s adoption of practices and strategies leading to a student-focused culture, notable increases in student outcomes, and a reduction of equity gaps.
The announcement was made at ATD’s annual DREAM conference, which brought over 2,000 community college leaders, faculty, student affairs staff, and other higher education practitioners to the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.
“Selection for the Leah
Meyer Austin Award is a highly competitive process,” noted ATD President and CEO Dr. Karen A. Stout. “Winners of this award do not just demonstrate pockets of excellence; they employ a holistic approach to student success that permeates their entire institution and results in whole-college transformation. Southwestern Oregon Community College has the bold leadership and the across-the-board commitment of faculty and staff that make them true standouts in their student success efforts. I congratulate them wholeheartedly on their achievements.”
SWOCC has been an ATD institution since 2012, when it joined the network as one in a group of nine rural Oregon community colleges. The institution achieved Leader College status

Brookings Activity Center: From Humble Beginnings to Vital Community Hub
BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot
What began as casual gatherings around a kitchen table in the mid-1970s has blossomed into the vital Chetco Community Center, a cornerstone of the Brookings-Harbor community.
The center was born from the vision of Theora and George Humphries. The center's roots trace back to a simple need: a place for local seniors to gather for companionship, activities and shared meals.
Initially, volunteers served homemade soup and bread in a rented "Little Green Building," occasionally delighting patrons with Ruth Dalton's renowned shortbread.
The demand quickly out-
grew the small space, prompting a major fundraising drive. A pivotal moment arrived with a generous land donation from Virginia Manley, enabling the construction of the current facility at 550 Chetco Lane. Countless community members contributed funds, labor and materials to bring the vision to life.
Today, the center serves hundreds of meals monthly, both in its dining room and through its Meals on Wheels program, which delivers hot and frozen meals to approximately 62 homebound individuals daily within Brookings and Harbor.
The center also provides a vibrant social hub, offering games, puzzles, books and current magazines. Activities range from Tri-City Bridge to
bingo to English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and Tai Chi.
"We want to continue serving meals, hosting fun events, displaying art, holding educational classes, introducing friends to one another," said Carol Owens, Programs Administrator and Assistant General Manager of the Chetco Activity Center. "The community of Brookings invested money and hard work to make this facility a friendly, warm place to be."
Owens emphasized the center's reliance on volunteers, who are crucial to its daily operations, alongside a small paid kitchen and janitorial staff. The meals are prepared on site and delivered by volunPlease see BAC

"It's pretty much volunteers that do all that stuff," Owens confirmed.
The center's lunch program offers a variety of healthy, full-course meals, including popular dishes like Malibu Chicken, liver and onions, fish, and roast turkey, followed by a daily dessert.
Currently, the center now faces financial hurdles. The center is urging community members to contribute through its donation page to ensure the continuation of its programs.

Oregon Gov. Kotek, housing advocates push for more options, fewer regulations
Oregon Capital Chronicle
Saying Oregon needs bold action to fix a housing crisis decades in the making, Gov. Tina Kotek and housing advocates urged the Legislature to pass a sweeping bill eliminating regulations, making it legal to build duplexes and similar middle-density housing in more places and providing incentives for builders.
House Bill 2138, which received its first hearing on Tuesday, builds on Oregon’s first-in-the-nation 2019 law that effectively ended single-family zoning
in 2015, which it held until 2021 and regained in 2023.
“We are so pleased to be honored with this award. This recognition reflects an unwavering commitment to student success by every single employee of our college,” said SWOCC’s President Patty Scott. “We know our students. We know they have diverse needs and complex lives. We have proven that by putting students first and adapting our programs and services to their individual needs, they will succeed. Ultimately, not only do our students benefit, so do their families, our workforce and our communities.”
SWOCC’s dedication to student success has long been rooted in its responsiveness to community needs, and the college has particularly excelled in its recent efforts to engage and support its district’s adult learner population.
in large cities. Kotek championed that law as speaker of the House, and President Joe Biden’s administration highlighted it as a model for the nation, urging other states and localities to adopt their own version of that Oregon law. The new proposal would bar cities and counties from blocking development of some types of middle-density housing, including duplexes or accessory dwelling units, on any land where a single-family home can be built. It also would prevent cities from requiring traffic studies or forcing developers to pay for expensive
Recognizing that adult learners are often forced to balance their studies with work and family responsibilities, the college has implemented several reforms that benefit both adult learners and parttime learners, two subpopulations that often overlap.
By creating specialized advising and new age, and lifestyle, appropriate student orientations; performing a thorough evaluation of both its communication practices as well as its portfolio of academic and workforce programs; and improving its online services, which are often utilized by adult learners who appreciate the convenience, SWOCC has realized several notable improvements.
With nearly half of the total student body composed of first-generation students, many of whom are also adult learners and many of whom are economically marginalized, great efforts have been made to accelerate the success of this population through financial support.
projects like a new stoplight when they’re building or redeveloping a lot. It would provide incentives for developers to build affordable homes and homes accessible for people with disabilities.
“This bill is about choice,” Kotek said during a press conference ahead of the bill’s hearing. “It’s about affordability. When we can build more kinds of homes, people have more options.” Kotek herself benefited from the type of middle-density housing she now champions. When she moved to Portland after

As a complement to TRIO services, the college introduced the SNAP Training and Employment Program (STEP) to provide students with basic needs assistance as well as support with the costs of books, transportation, and interview clothing.
SWOCC also employs a benefits navigator who assists students in finding help with basic needs support in the community. In addition, the college’s foundation supplements these services with scholarships, including emergency scholarships to help with unexpected expenses or utility bills.
Mandating academic advising, implementing a more robust early alert system that notifies advisors and support staff when a student needs additional assistance, utilizing new placement procedures, and moving to a co-requisite course system, among other innovations, have contributed to overall advances in student success rates for the college.
The Leah Meyer Austin Award was established in 2008 to recognize outstanding achievement in supporting and promoting student success through the creation of a culture of evidence, continuous improvement, systemic institutional change, broad engagement of stakeholders, and equity. The annual prize is given in honor of Leah Meyer Austin, former senior vice president for program development and organizational learning at the Lumina Foundation and emerita director of the ATD Board of Directors, whose visionary leadership shaped the development of Achieving the Dream.

Port Orford Council Unveils Ambitious Plan:
Fiscal Stability, Infrastructure Upgrades, Community Vitality Top Agenda and Mayor swears in new council member.
BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot
The Port Orford City Council has laid out a comprehensive roadmap for the coming year, prioritizing fiscal responsibility, critical infrastructure improvements and enhanced community livability.
Through a series of meetings and discussions, both in-person and online, the council has forged a unified vision, aiming to address immediate needs while charting a course for long-term sustainability.
"We asked council members to submit their priorities and then staff and I compiled them to share," explained a Port Orford Mayor Ann Vileisis, highlighting the collaborative process. "Tonight, we're ensuring everyone's input is reflected and discussing the highest priorities."
City Administrator Melissa Mills emphasized the importance of this strategic approach, stating, "The council sets the vision and my job is to support those visions. With limited resources, we need a roadmap."
Recognizing the need to operate within budgetary constraints, the council has prioritized fiscal responsibility. The finance committee is actively exploring cost-saving measures and grant opportunities, aiming to identify new revenue streams.
"We need to stay within

our means," Mills stressed. “We need strategic grant management, updated fee schedules and potential tax adjustments.”
Ending water curtailment, enhancing emergency preparedness and upgrading city technology are also key goals, reflecting the council's commitment to balancing immediate needs with long-term planning.
Also, the council has outlined plans for significant infrastructure improvements, focusing on the city's water and wastewater systems. Public Works will play a central role in these efforts.
Key projects include reservoir dredging, water treatment plant upgrades and addressing aging lift stations. The council is also pursuing grant funding for road repairs and facility maintenance.
A $750,000 legislative allocation will fund a water recycling feasibility study and a mandatory wastewater outfall inspection is scheduled for this year.
"We have to be thoughtful and strategic about which grants we go after," Mills stated, acknowledging the city's financial constraints.
In addition to infrastructure, council members address the livability and health of the community with the hopes of continuing to foster a vibrant community.
Enhancing the quality of life for Port Orford residents is a top priority. The council is focusing on public safety, transparent communication and improved park facilities.
"We want to continue to provide reliable law enforcement," said Mills.
In other news, fire mitigation efforts, including right-of-way maintenance and defensible space initiatives, are underway in partnership with the Soil and Water Conservation District. The council is also committed to improving communication through updated online resources and community engagement.
The council is also tackling several pressing challenges, including water curtailment, ordinance enforcement and revenue generation.
Water curtailment issues are being addressed through a comprehensive plan and water conservation measures. The council is exploring the possibility of acquiring a dredge for future reservoir maintenance.
Ordinance enforcement, a long-standing concern, will be addressed through a dedicated committee. The council is exploring potential fee adjustments and alternative revenue streams
to ensure fiscal stability.
The council has emphasized transparency and accountability, making the draft priority list available online for public review. They will track progress through quarterly reviews and periodic town hall meetings.
"We tried to make it as clear as possible," said Mayor Vileisis, emphasizing the importance of user-friendly documentation.
Moving forward the council will adopt a unified vision and will continue to refine its priority list, incorporating feedback from the public. The finance committee will finalize revenue generation recommendations and a dedicat-
ed committee will address ordinance enforcement.
The council aims to adopt the final priority list at the next meeting, providing clear direction for staff and ensuring accountability to the Port Orford community.
Lastly, Port Orford Mayor, Ann Vileisis swore in Sara Lovendahl to fill the empty council seat created when Vileisis was voted Mayor this last election.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 877-2377878, or visit www. peakforeclosure.com using file number assigned to this case: CA-RCS-24020337 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an
“eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

completing her master’s degree at the University of Washington, she lived in a fourplex apartment in an older neighborhood.
But by the time she introduced her 2019 law, more than three-quarters of the land zoned for homes in Portland didn’t allow duplexes or similar housing. Now, Portland and all other cities with populations higher than 10,000 have to allow duplexes wherever they allow single-family homes.
The new tweaks come as the state continues to grapple with a housing shortage that has kept Oregonians from finding affordable homes to rent or buy. The state’s chief economist recently estimated that the state needs to build at least 29,500 homes per year, mostly in the Portland region and Willamette Valley, just to keep up with demand and expected growth.
Kotek set a more ambitious goal of 36,000 new homes per year, but builders pulled only about 14,000 residential permits last year — slightly more than a third of the way to that goal — and most of those permits were for single-family homes. Builders attribute the lag in part to inflation and high mortgage interest rates that have kept people from wanting to buy homes or move to a new home, and in part to regulations that delay building.
Mike Riddle, board president of the Oregon Home Builders Association, said developers have to do a lot more work with infill development than they would building a single-family home.
“It’s not the low-hanging fruit for a lot of builders and developers, especially with just one or two or three units on one lot,” he said. “I think there are some boutique people who are willing to take the time, but I think overall, that’s not going to move the needle. We need many more people. We need to remove those barriers.”
Jesse Russell, founder and CEO of Hiatus Homes, has been working on this type of housing since he moved back to
Bend, where he grew up. His mother was able to buy a home in Bend while working as a bartender decades ago, but the central Oregon city’s exploding population and rising costs — a median home reached $800,000 in October — made that impossible for Russell. He was interested in tiny homes and the possibility of putting four small homes on a single lot, but city regulations at the time wouldn’t allow that.
Russell worked with the city of Bend to create its cottage code, and in 2020 he finished Hiatus Benham, a community of 22 small homes — less than 600 square feet on average — clustered around shared garden boxes, ponds and fire pits. Now, Russell specializes in building small homes and accessory dwelling units.
“Governor Kotek’s bill builds on Bend’s success expanding support for cottage clusters, ADUs and small-scale developments across the state,” Russell said. “By streamlining the building process, it will help create beautiful, livable spaces for working families, retirees and young professionals faster and more efficiently.”
Ian Karasz, another Bend resident who drove over the Cascades to testify in person, said he was supporting the bill on behalf of friends who can’t afford to continue living in Bend despite working good jobs — one as a chemical engineer and one as a nurse.
“These are not isolated stories,” Karasz said. “I know several people who have grown up in Bend, wanting to establish their lives close to their families, but who have moved away due to being priced out. I know therapists and teachers who are living in their cars. Speak to anyone in our community, and they will tell you similar stories, or know of somebody with one.”
Hillary Gray, a retired nurse from Portland who joined Kotek at the press conference, found that the middle-density housing model worked for her. When Gray retired a few years ago, she and her son talked about how she liked living around other people, wanted to be a grandmother but has no grandchildren and needed an affordable home near her son.
They found the Cully Green community, a 23-home cluster of duplexes and triplexes in northeast Portland with shared community spaces, that allows Gray to live across from her son and spend time every day with other residents. She has built a grandparenting relationship with her neighbors’ kids, and she’s able to do neighborly favors like driving people to the airport or picking up their kids after school. Because of where she lives, Gray said she’s never bored or lonely.
“We know loneliness is a major factor in both physical and mental health,” Gray said. “My belief is multifamily housing combats loneliness by encouraging community interactions that would not happen if each person had a big house in a typical neighborhood.”
Alexandra Ring, the League of Oregon Cities’ lobbyist for land use and housing issues, said the league that represents Oregon’s 241 incorporated cities is neutral on the bill but urged lawmakers to consider the impact of frequent new housing-related laws that cities have to implement.
“Since 2019, we have seen sweeping near yearly changes to our housing and land use statutes,” Ring said. “Many of these changes are still being implemented on the ground by our city planners, and we have not had adequate time to measure the impact they’ve had on housing production in our communities.”
Lake Oswego Mayor Joe Buck, who opposed the bill, said it would pull cities away from implementing the middle-density housing encouraged by the 2019 law and back into planning and writing new city codes.
“The seemingly never-ending moving of the goalposts is slowing the work of actually allowing these good policies previously implemented to work,” Buck said.
Much of the other opposition to the 43page bill came down to a single sentence on page 19. Part way through a list of regulations the state Land Conservation and Development Commission is expected to loosen was a direction to repeal requirements for demolition review for houses
listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Kotek told reporters that she supports changing the bill to remove that language. The intent was to make it easier to add homes in some historic districts, but she said that most of the housing they expect won’t be in historic districts.
Still, advocates for historic districts said the change wasn’t enough. Barbara Kerr, who owns a business selling salvaged building parts in northeast Portland, said maintaining older homes and communities helps create community stability.
“The NIMBYism, as people refer to it, is not people saying they don’t want it in their neighborhood,” Kerr said. “They don’t want destruction of any neighborhoods, and they see that there’s a better way by not taking out the older housing and finding places where they already have housing.”
David Welton, the volunteer chapter leader of Bend’s pro-housing Yes in My Backyard, or YIMBY, group, said building different types of homes and adapting is how a lot of now-historic homes were built.
“The people who built Bend back in the day were practical folks who built and changed their city to make it suit their needs,” Welton said. “Tear down the cottage, build a boarding house, no problem. I think they would scratch their heads and look at us kind of funny for having painted ourselves into a corner so badly with all the ways that we prevent housing from being built that have led to our crisis.”
