PCC Alumnus RichardMikulak
ByChristina Holmes
After graduating high school in 1985 in
Northeastern Connecticut, Richard Mikulak
headed to a four-year university knowing
that he needed a degree to get ahead.
Trouble was, he didn’t know what he wanted
to do. Rather than stay in school he joined
the U.S. Navy and served as a nuclear
machinist-mate. He traveled to ports far
and near and learned the importance
of discipline. At the end of his 10-year
stint, he was hired by Intel in Oregon.
Thanks to a partnership between Intel and
Portland Community College, he earned a
microelectronics degree in 2003. Mikulak,
41, lives in Sherwood and, when he’s not
working, he spends time with his wife, Tina
Mikulak and sons, Ashton, 5, and Caden, 2.
Q) Why did you choose to attend PCC?
A) I chose PCC due to the convenience, class
size and due mainly to the Microelectronics
Program. Being new to Oregon and Intel,
I heard about the program at work and
figured it would be a perfect opportunity to
learn more about my job.
Q) What years did you attend?
A) I attended from 1997 to 2003, with
a couple years off in between. I mainly
attended classes at the Washington County
Work Force Training Center. I also attended
classes at the Rock Creek, Sylvania
and Cascade campuses. I obtained the
Associate of Applied Science Degree in
Microelectronics in 2003.
Q) Are there any classes or instructors
that you fondly remember?
A) Most of the microelectronics instructors
were my favorites: Mr. Dave Hata was
always very matter-of-fact. He always urged
us to take the subject matter very seriously
and pushed his students to understand, not
just observe. Dorina Cornea-Hasegan was
always there for help or just to ask a quick
question. No matter what, her students
always seem to come first. Eric Kirchner
is a great instructor. He has a great deal
of knowledge and experience to share.
Shelton Fu has great intentions for and
high expectations of his students. Robert
Beadle is a great lab tech and has a wealth
of industrial and equipment knowledge to
pass along.
Q) Tell us about your job at Intel and students are forced into a path of study at

Q) What was your dream job as a child? take an art class.
A) I wanted to be Evil Knievel or a stunt
man. I originally went to the University of
Connecticut to study pharmacy.
Q) How does it feel to be in a
cutting-edge career?
A) I’m pretty proud of what
I do and surprised to have
learned as much as
I have about computers
and electronics. Working

opportunity. They really

Q) Did any other family members
attend PCC?
A) My wife Tina attended PCC for the
microelectronics program at the time
classes were offered onsite at Intel
campuses and continued attending
prior to transferring to George Fox for
her bachelor’s degree in management
and organizational leadership.
Q) Any advice for today’s college
students?
A) Stay in school and get advanced
degrees. Take advantage of any
scholarship programs you can. Get an
internship. Explore paths of study. Go to
local community colleges, like PCC, for
your first two years and get the attention

 Bad times,
Good options
With double-digit unemployment rates,
company closures and downsizing plans for
nearly every business, Oregonians – like many
across the country – are suffering through
one of the worst economic downturns since
the Great Depression. As fears over job
losses and business closings continue to
mount, PCC offers everyone from individuals
to company executives a calm, steady voice
and a plan for the future.
A snapshot of how PCC is assisting during
the sluggish economy:
Rapid Response Team
Nearly 900 workers from Western Star Truck
division of Daimler Trucks North America,
formerly Freightliner, soon will be laid off due
to a plant closure in 2010. Instead of being
tossed onto the street without any prospects,
most will have an idea of what employment
they can transition into once the plant closes.
This is thanks to the Rapid Response Team
at Portland Community College’s Dislocated
Worker Program. It is helping those who
already have been laid off and will be laid off
between now and the closure. The team of
specialists goes to a company and introduces
the workers to WorkSource Oregon
resources, refers them to skill assessments,
and gives workshops on interviewing
techniques, how to construct an effective
résumé and networking.

During this spiraling economy, businesses
and workers turn to PCC for help
ByJames Hill&Christina Holmes
“We can’t say enough; we’d be lost without
these people,” said Wayne LaRochelle,
human resources manager for Western Star.
“We have been severely impacted by the
downturn in the economy. The members of the
team agree to come in before each shift starts
and after it’s over to train, answer questions
and explain programs to the workers. They
are extremely flexible and helpful.”
LaRochelle said the skills provided are a
lifesaver. Many of the workers, whose average
age is 49, started work right after high school.
Now, as work slows and the plant gets
ready to close, many employees will need
assistance in learning how to transfer their
current skills to a new job or learn new skills
as they change careers.
They are great people, he said, but the
skill sets learned in manufacturing are not
as transferable in today’s market. Most
will need assistance identifying work skills
and how to apply them when seeking
re-employment.
His company isn’t alone. Other firms
that PCC and its partners responded to
include closures of GE Security, which
affected 220 people, 116 at Food4Less
and 110 at Sauer-Danfoss; layoffs of 180 at
Nationwide Insurance, 150 at Tektronix
and 100 at DHL. PCC’s Rapid Response
Team has aided 3,148 dislocated workers
within Multnomah and Washington counties
since July 2008.
Partners of the Rapid Response Team
include Mount Hood Community College,
the state Employment Department and the
Office of Community Colleges and Workforce
Development, which provide resources to union
members. The team is funded through the
state’s Department of Labor and Worksystems
Inc. PCC serves Washington County and most
of Multnomah County.
When a company alerts the team that layoffs
are being planned, PCC organizes meetings
with the human resources department of the
firm to establish the types of services best
suited for their workforce. For Western Star
there are some unique challenges.
“Some of them don’t have high school
diplomas and have limited English speaking
skills,” said Gayle Clark, member of the
Rapid Response Team “There are quite a few
challenges to overcome so that we can make
sure they transition better.”
The next step is meeting with and surveying
the workers about their needs. The team helps
workers with the Employment Department’s
I-Match Skills program and teaches them how
to sell themselves to prospective employers.
“(Western Star) has been very good at
contacting us early and laying out the array of
services they need,” said Clark, who’s been
with the team for 11 years. “Workers do better
when there is less stress on them because
they’re not wondering ‘What will I do?’”
Bridge to Health Care
and Manufacturing
The loss of a job can be a terrible blow,
especially for those who have spent years in
the same industry. But for some it can be a
needed wake-up call to try a new route.
After filing for unemployment assistance
through the state Employment Department,
job hopefuls are assessed to determine
their skill set for future jobs. PCC recently
began a program that creates a pipeline of
potential workers with a special interest in
manufacturing or health care.
“What we are finding is the first folks who
lost jobs have lower skills and weak literacy
skills and they have a harder time getting
back to work,” said Amy Youngflesh, director
of PCC’s Portland Metropolitan Workforce
Training Center.
The laid-off workers initially take math, reading
and writing classes through the college. Each
class is contextualized for a specific career
path. For example, health care students read
medical charts while manufacturing math
students study blueprints.
The Bridge to Healthcare and Bridge to
Manufacturing are open to anyone PCC
serves, including welfare clients, low-income
adults and teen parents.
“What we do is match a job that suits a
student and matches his or her education
level that will lead to a job,” Youngflesh said.
Once the initial health care classes are
complete – last fall 18 students finished the
program and another 20 are enrolled this
spring – students can decide if they want
to take courses in such areas as certified
nursing assistant, medical assisting, medical
transcription or phlebotomy (the drawing of
blood). The manufacturing pipeline appeals
to students with an eye on microelectronics,
solar, the arena of heating, venting and air-
conditioning, plus sustainability.
PCC has held Welfare-to-Work contracts
since 1991, accommodating many job
seekers with its affordable classes, flexible
schedules and open-entry, open-exit courses,
which allow students to begin the program
when it’s convenient for them, not simply at
the start of a term, and to work as quickly or
slowly through the program as they like.

The Brand of Opportunity
With a new look and a new goal the PCC Foundation
is preparing to help more students than ever before
ByEloise Holland
T he Portland Community College
Foundation wants you to know that it’s
the place “where opportunity happens.”
The Foundation recently unveiled its new
brand, which includes a revamped logo,
new tag line and a unique appearance that
distinguishes it as a transformative force.
As laid-off workers turn to PCC to learn new
skills, retrain for jobs in emerging industries
and bolster their résumés, more students are
choosing PCC as their top option to begin
their college education. The Foundation is
poising itself as the place these students
can go to find the extra support they need.
“It was time to change the logo because
the foundation has grown and changed,”
said PCC Foundation Board President
Peter Bauer.
Indeed, the Foundation has grown from four
to nine staff members and raised more than
a million dollars for scholarships in response
to a challenge grant issued last year by the
James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation.
The new look of the PCC Foundation
features energetic colors and a logo with
a side-by-side orientation of “PCC” and
“Foundation,” illustrating the interdependent
partnership between the two. The tagline
“Where opportunity happens,” reinforces
the importance of this relationship.
“‘Where opportunity happens’ means that at
PCC everyone has the opportunity to strive
and achieve,” Bauer said. “It really speaks
to what we are all about.”
8 PCC CommunitiesSummer 2009
The overall message is one of synergy. The
Foundation is the only nonprofit dedicated
to supporting the mission of the college and
its critical role in our community.
Betty Duvall, PCC Foundation Board vice
president, said the new brand, “suggests
a vibrant organization, that the Foundation
has turned a corner.”
The decision to put effort into rebranding
was made after careful consideration of the
foundation’s long-term goals, which include
being one of the top 20 community college
foundations in the country.
Toward that end, the foundation seeks to
increase access to the college by providing
financial aid to any qualifying student who
needs assistance and to ensure educational
programs reflect the evolving needs of
our community.
“This was a major shift for the organization,”
said Bauer, noting that the role of the PCC
Foundation Board has changed from that
of a steward of existing funds to that of an
active fundraiser dedicated to increasing
the financial backing needed to ensure
the community has continued access to
Oregon’s number-one educational resource.
The shift Bauer describes is coming at a
critical time in the history of the college.
PCC’s financial aid office is experiencing
the largest increase in student requests
ever, with applications up by 23 percent
compared to the same time last year. The
PCC Foundation has seen a similar surge
in scholarship requests and is expecting to
More than
$1 Million Raised
At the end of March, the Foundation
finished up a tremendously successful
campaign with a goal of raising
almost $700,000 for scholarships
in order to receive a matching
challenge grant from the James F.
and Marion L. Miller Foundation.
As part of that effort, not only did
the PCC Foundation meet the
challenge, it raised more than
$1 million for scholarships and
received the full match of $320,000
from the Miller Foundation.
“I feel great about reaching the Miller
Match,” said PCC Foundation Board
President Peter Bauer. “We were
given a pretty big hurdle and were
able to achieve it. It could not have
happened if we did not have the
foundation members and staff working
together to reach a common goal.”
The PCC Foundation typically awards
more than 300 scholarships each
year, but that number could double
because of the successful campaign.
Almost half of PCC students need
financial help to attend college.
receive twice as many applications for the
upcoming school year as last year.

 Adrian Thompson
wanted to leave high
school when he was
barely a teenager –
now he sits at the
head of the class

Growing a leader
ByStephanie Craven

Portland Community College student Adrian
Thompson has overcome great obstacles
to become the ambitious and determined
man he is today.
Thompson, 18, came from humble begin-
nings. Raised in Tacoma, Wash., he moved
often. His father was out of the picture from
an early age and his mother struggled with
drug addiction. It was a tough way to grow
up, Thompson said.
“It was especially hard not having a male
figure to look up to,” he said. “As a young
black man, you need someone to show you
how it’s done.”
As a result of his tumultuous childhood,
Thompson had difficulty assimilating in
school and relating to his peers.
“The lack of stability wore on me and I re-
ally had no reason to succeed,” he said. “I
didn’t have confidence or high aspirations
for myself. I thought I might be an NBA or
NFL player, but that was about it. My grades
weren’t very good and I started to draw
away from academics.”
Thompson attended Jefferson High School
for his sophomore year, but decided to
leave due to growing disinterest. His fu-
ture looked bleak until a school secretary
recommended Open Meadow, an alterna-
tive school in North Portland. He transferred
at the end of the year, and it changed his
life immensely.
Open Meadow is a private, non-profit, ac-
credited school that helps struggling youths
get back on track. Using relationship-based
programs, it teaches young adults valuable
educational and life skills. It was at Open
Meadow that Thompson acquired a new
outlook on life and a resolve to succeed.
During his senior year at Open Meadow,
Thompson took two classes at PCC’s Cas-
cade Campus. He decided he would at-
tend full-time upon graduation because he
really liked the campus and thought the
tuition would be more feasible than other
colleges. Through Open Meadow, he has
been able to take part in the Year 13 program
which tracks and supports its alumni
during their first year of college, according
to Thompson.
Now a PCC freshman, Thompson is tak-
ing a full load and is working to fulfill the
prerequisites for dentistry. The young man
who formerly had disinterest in school and
lacked ambition is currently earning a 4.0
grade-point average and aiming toward a
career as a dentist.
Thompson’s favorite course is Spanish.
He applied those language skills in Ecua-
Summer 2009PCC Communities
dor last year via the Pangaea Project, a
leadership development and global aware-
ness program for low-income teenagers.
Thompson acts as a coordinator for the
Black Student Union and works with the
Student Outreach Squad on the Cascade
Campus. He’s an invaluable member of the
team, said Cynthia Sartin, club and pro-
grams specialist.
“Adrian is an extremely passionate and re-
liable person. He is also a natural leader;
he is great at getting students involved on
campus,” Sartin said. “African American
males are extremely under-represented in
higher education, and as an African Ameri-
can male student leader, Adrian helps oth-
ers see that they, too, can be successful
and do belong here on the Cascade Cam-
pus.”
Thompson now lives in Southeast Portland
with his mother, who is in a treatment pro-
gram and has been off drugs for more than
a year. His father recently moved back to
Portland and is working toward improving
relations with his son.
Despite his rocky past, Thompson now
is positive about his future. He has sage
words for young people who have experi-
enced difficult situations such as his own.

 The motorcycle-riding
president of Rock Creek is
shepherding one of PCC’s
fastest-growing campuses
toward a bright future
Rule of the Road
T here’s only one Rule at Portland Com-
munity College’s Rock Creek Campus
and that’s David Rule.
The gregarious, bearded gentleman from
upstate New York is the west side campus’
newest president and if you think he’s stuffy
and by the book, then think again.
A self-admittedly funky administrator (he’s
trained as a symphonic trumpeter), Rule
rides his motorcycle to work every day,
bringing not only an impressive background
of work at community colleges and higher
education, but a diverse one that seems to
blend in well into Rock Creek’s atmosphere.
Rule grew up the north Adirondacks near
Lake Placid, where he always wore boots
and enjoyed riding horses and mini-bikes.
Now, he has outgrown minis and can be
seen rolling onto campus atop a 2005
Honda Goldwing motorcycle.
“I’ve always ridden or have tried to ride,”
Rule said. “I ride to work, to the Sylvania
Campus and have ridden to Astoria for
meetings. Moving from the faculty ranks to
administration to vice president and now to
president, I have not stopped riding.”
Rule and his wife, Jean, regularly take time
for daylong or over-night rides to places like
Astoria, Cannon Beach, Vernonia, Sauvie
58 PCC CommunitiesSummer 2009
Island and the McMinnville area. “We’re
looking forward to this summer when we can
explore places like Crater Lake, Pendleton,
etc.,” he said. “I find it very therapeutic and
relaxing because maybe I find it so different
from what I do.”
Rule’s ride to PCC wasn’t uncharted territory.
Last summer, he was president of Muskegeon
Community College – the alma mater of PCC
President Preston Pulliams. Rule also worked
as vice president for three years at Orange
County Community College in New York,
when Pulliams was president there.
Rule said he had told Pulliams that, if a
campus presidency became vacant at PCC,
to let him know. “He’s been a mentor ever
since I met him in 2000,” Rule said. “We were
interested in moving and I was interested
in the Portland area. The timing and the
location were right.”
PCC also was attractive to Rule, 48, because
of the partnerships PCC and Rock Creek
have to industry, such as Intel, SolarWorld,
Genentech and Columbia Industries. Plus,
helping to pass the PCC bond measure last
fall was a challenge he relished.
“I never worked on a bond of that size and
that magnitude and, when it passed, the
opportunity to work directly with the Rock
ByJames G. Hill
Creek Campus and probably the most
significant reinvigorating of the campus
since its construction, is great,” Rule said.
“The amount of money to be spent via
the bond on this campus this time around
is transformational; and for the college
as a whole.”
Among the most exciting changes in store
for Rock Creek, he said, is preparing to
expand into health care by building a health
care facility on campus, thanks to the bond
measure. The campus also will expand links
with biotech firms like Genentech. “Because
of the health care areas, I just think Rock
Creek is the happening place to be at PCC,”
Rule said.
As Rule leads the college’s most sustainable
campus (it has won awards for its recycling)
on the road to the future, he sees nothing
but positives.
“The vision I have for Rock Creek is
that it’s destined to become – given the
demographics and growth of Washington
County, the double-digit growth of the
campus, the industry base and the
importance of our 256-acre footprint – the
epicenter of higher education for the county,”
Rule said. “That’s very exciting to me.”
Destination
Downtown
For the first time, PCC will have a
presence in the very heart of the city
ByKate Chester
ByKate Chester
W ith the passage of its bond measure
last November, Portland Community
College embarked on an exciting project –
the purchase of the Willamette Building in
downtown Portland from the University of
Oregon, formerly home to its architecture
program and the Duck Store.
The move also marks a first-time presence
for PCC in the city’s center, complementing
the college’s three comprehensive campuses
and multiple extended learning workplace
centers located throughout the Portland
metropolitan area.
Relocating a wide array of the college’s core
functions downtown will free up space on
the campuses for much-needed classrooms.
PCC’s enrollment has grown by double
digits for seven straight quarters and, with
the current recession, that won’t end any
time soon. Oregonians turn to community
colleges in greater number during tough
financial times.
“We toured the building and could see the
possibilities it had,” said Denise Frisbee,
chair of PCC’s Board of Directors. “With its
charming exterior, downtown location and
accessibility to the MAX line, the board was
very supportive of the purchase.”
Built in 1882 and located at Second and
Yamhill streets, the Willamette Building
is part of Portland’s Yamhill Historic
District and flaunts an “old world” charm
from the outside, complete with filigreed
columns and roofline eaves. PCC has
partnered with SERA Architects for the
design and renovation process. Because
of the building’s historic stature, PCC and
SERA are working closely with the city’s
Historic Design Review Board to ensure
all exterior and interior renovations comply
with necessary construction mandates and
respect the building’s historic fabric.
The near-total remodel encompasses more
than 46,000 square feet covering four floors
and a basement. Inside, the renovated
building will feature extensive open office
space, as well as room for Community
Education, shared conference room space
and a “signature corner” at Second and
Yamhill, to tout PCC’s presence downtown
and illustrate the college’s academic and
career training offerings.
What has been tricky throughout the
renovation has been the “greening” of
the building to meet PCC’s mission to
sustainability. Preserving the building’s
historic heritage while bringing it up to
current seismic structural code requirements
and making it environmentally friendly has
posed its challenges.
“You run into more ‘existing condition’
situations when renovating an old building,”
said Grant Bennett, PCC’s project manager
and the college architect, “yet all buildings
– even new construction – present their
own, unique puzzles. Working on an older
building is simply a different kind of puzzle.”
Summer 2009PCC Communities
Denise Frisbee discusses building plans with (from left)
architect Eric Phillips, Gregg Sanders, project manager,
and Andy Franklin, construction superintendent.
The building will feature energy-efficient and
space-saving radiant panels for heating and
cooling. A three-story skylight atrium space,
interconnected with a centralized stairwell,
is being added to introduce natural daylight
inside. Awnings were removed from outside
windows revealing existing, historically
significant stained glass windows – again,
enhancing natural daylight within the building.
“PCC is committed to using bond funds
to support its allegiance to sustainability,”
Frisbee said. “Seeing us forge ahead to
make the Willamette Building as ‘green’ as
possible is incredibly exciting.”
Construction began in mid-April and will be
completed in December, enabling central
core functions of the college – Financial
Services, Enrollment Services, Institutional
Effectiveness, Human Resources,Affirmative
Action and Community Education functions
– to relocate there.
“We are looking forward to this move,” said
Preston Pulliams, district president for
PCC, “because we’ll be able to raise our
flag downtown, in the heart of Portland’s
business community.
“Having a presence here will strengthen
and enhance PCC’s ties to business,” he
added. “Serving the business community is
an integral part of our mission.”

PCC’s array of green technology programs
is creating a workforce ready for the future –
supporters predict this emerging field
of green collar jobs will help turn around
the sagging economy
ByChristina Holmes
J
ohn McKee has been interested in
sustainability and the environment
ever since his days growing up in the
Columbia River Gorge where he hiked
as a teenager and recycled long before it
was fashionable.
So it seems natural that he’s one of the leading
forces guiding PCC through an exciting period
as the college offers a wide array of green
technology programs, producing qualified
and efficient technicians in solar, wind and
fuel cell power, as well as other renewable
energy fields.
“This planet will continue to grow and we will
need renewable energy,” said McKee, division
dean of science and engineering at the
Sylvania Campus. “PCC faculty and staff are
proactively moving our college and community
toward a more sustainable future, while giving
our students the tools they need to obtain
green-collar employment.”
No doubt that Oregon is an environmentally
conscious state. Oregon is a leader in public
transit options and initiatives, while state
leaders are committed to generating 25 percent
of all energy from renewable sources by 2025.
So it falls in line that PCC also will lead when
it comes to preparing workers for these
emerging fields.
60 PCC CommunitiesSummer 2009
Among the current green programs now offered
across the PCC campuses are renewable
energy (renewable energy systems and solar
installation and repair), manufacturing (solar
manufacturing), transportation (hybrid vehicles
and biodiesel production) and sustainable
development (design, construction, installation
and maintenance).
These jobs of the future include automotive
service technicians who inspect, test, diagnose
and supervise the repair of mechanical and
electrical systems on biofuel, hybrid and
electric automobiles and light trucks; chemists
who solve environmental problems such as
dwindling energy resources and the need for
new and better materials; civil engineers who
design better bridges, keep drinking water
“There is lots of
planning afoot for
new technology
and new energy.”
- Paul Wild
safe and prevent industrial pollution; and
interior designers who incorporate energy
saving strategies, healthy indoor air quality and
resource conservation when designing a space.
And in the pipeline but not yet approved by
the state are academic programs that could
include engineering (environmental monitoring
and management and sustainable engineering
technology), management (sustainable energy
and resource management) and sustainable
development (building commissioner training,
green building inspection and green roof and
wall construction and maintenance).
The scope of green technology programs
cross various academic disciplines: electronic
engineering technology, facilities maintenance,
microelectronic technology, civil mechanical
engineering technology, automotive, chemistry,
engineering, architecture, building construction
and interior design. Sustainability practices
are being taught across the curriculum and
students will learn about environmental
awareness in a variety of classes. In addition,
students are being offered service-learning
opportunities in green technology.
McKee (pictured above) and others look
to green technology as one of the possible
ways to get the U.S. economy moving again,
spurring interest and potential jobs much the
same way that the advent of the World Wide
Web did in the 1990s.
“This will take off,” he said. “And we will have a
supply of workers.”
The hallmark of a community college is
adaptability to current trends and the fact that a
college can move quickly and retool its teaching
to meet demands. A community college is the
primary place to retrain workers for jobs.
With the size of PCC – the largest educational
institution in the state – and the nearly 90,000
students served each year, the college is
sure to be a leader in the Northwest, if not the
nation, when it comes to training students for
future green-technology jobs.
“PCC is fortunate to have the faculty expertise,
the business and industry partnerships, and
the forward thinking administration that will
be required to become a national leader in
the green-jobs movement. Already we have
faculty in our programs related to the built
environment (building construction, interior
design and architectural drafting) creating a
green curriculum through a National Science
Foundation Grant,” said Linda Gerber, Sylvania
Campus president.
“Their work will benefit not just our students;
this summer, they’ll be sharing their curriculum
with college and high school teachers
throughout the Northwest. Our automotive
repair technology program is the only
community college in Oregon revamping
the curriculum to include hybrid vehicles and
is poised to develop new classes in electric
vehicle repair. Those are just two examples of Green Technology Programs
the kind of ‘can do’ green leadership PCC can
be proud of,” Gerber said. Renewable energy

 The popular Summer Arts Institute will widen its horizons this year
Let's get artsy!
What started as a fledgling arts program
at the Sylvania campus of Portland
Community College about 20 years
ago has evolved into the Summer
Arts Institute – a thriving series of
intense, for-credit art courses that
last year attracted close to 450
students, nearly double its tally from
two years prior.
“The Summer Arts Institute
courses are an extension of those
foundational classes we teach
during the traditional academic
year,” said Jim Hicks, faculty chair,
PCC Sylvania Art Department
and co-director of the institute.
“But the summer classes are
unique – these are courses we
may not be able to offer during
the regular school year. They
may be experimental, taught
by top-notch local and regional
artists who are available to us
only in the summer months.”
The Summer Arts Institute
has blossomed under the
leadership of Hicks, who
guides it with support
from Doris Werkman, co-
director of the institute
and faculty chair, PCC
Sylvania Performing
Arts. This year’s program
kicks off June 22 and
continues through the
end of August, offering
a variety of courses in
art, dance, theater and
music taught by nearly
40 instructors.

ByKate Chester
A sample of this year’s eclectic visual
arts menu includes, “Spirit of the Sketch,”
a three-day workshop taught by Marilyn
Reaves, an art professor art the University
of Oregon, and “Line, Letters and
Luminosity,” designed for artists and lovers
of letters and words.
“In offering unique courses among these
many disciplines, we’ve been able to
expand, broaden and grow the institute,”
Werkman said. “It’s much, much more than
just a summer arts session.”
Welcoming artists young and old, amateur
and professional, the Summer Arts Institute
attracts a diverse group of students:
continuing PCC students wanting to
advance their academic progress by
earning credit during the summer; visiting
students and graduating high school
students from across the region, offering
them an opportunity to explore creative
arts and obtain college credit; and new and
continuing non-degree students, inspiring
all levels of art students.
New this year will be a handful of Summer
Arts Institute courses offered at Newberg
High School: hip-hop, beginning guitar
and “Introduction to Reader’s Theatre.”
The move underscores PCC’s commitment
to the region, which includes building an
educational center in the area, to open in
fall 2010.

Thanks to Community Education,
it doesn’t cost a lot to see a lot

f you’re looking for a tranquil getaway
complete with the quiet sound of lapping
water, a tangle of trees overhead and
exotic wildlife you can’t see at home, you’re
in luck.
Turns out, you don’t have to go far or spend
a fortune to experience paradise.
This summer, PCC Community Education
has partnered with Scappoose Bay
Kayaking to offer a series of fun, non-
technical kayak tours that offer everything
from a nighttime paddle in the dark to an
exciting adventure sailing Hobie trimarans
in the Columbia River.
Beginners and children are welcome and,
in fact, children as young as 7 can go out in
their own kayak.
“We’ve had over 38,000 people paddle
over the last seven years, and 60 percent
of those never paddled before,” said
Steve Gibons, who owns Scappoose Bay
Kayaking with his wife, Bonnie Gibons. “It’s
a nice, easy thing to do.”
Gibons has been kayaking for 28 years,
and Bonnie was a canoeist before they met.
The couple discovered Scappoose Bay on
a kayaking day trip eight years ago.
“We fell in love with this bay,” Gibons said.
“It was so rich with wildlife.”
Eagles, river otter, great blue heron and a
variety of migratory birds make their home
in the enclosed bay.
Enchanted by the peacefulness, the ample
wildlife and beauty of the area, Gibons
mentioned that it would be a good place to
rent out kayaks.
Fortuitously, they saw a “for rent” sign on
a nearby building and called the landlord.
They soon bought six kayaks and were
renting them out on the weekends. Within
two weeks, customers were asking if they
sold kayaks. “Not today,” Gibons recalled
saying, “But I will tomorrow!”
In the past seven years, their shop has
grown from 500 square feet to 4,000 square
feet and includes kayaks and an array
of gear. In the summers, Gibons estimates
that 100 people per day rent from them.
Because of all the sloughs and waterways,
though, you hardly see anybody.
“It’s your own personal journey,” Gibons said.
But if relaxing in the quiet wonder of nature
isn’t your thing, don’t worry. There’s something
for everyone, even local history buffs.

For more adventure close to
home, peruse the Community
Education schedule, page 48, for
opportunities like this summer’s
Hike the Gorge program with
Steve Engel naturalist and
educator with the Audubon
Society of Portland. Three
hikes through the Columbia
River Gorge will take you past
waterfalls, basalt cliffs, fern-filled
forests and amazing views.
Over the years, the Gibons have gathered a
home library dedicated to the history of the
area by picking through used bookshops
and consulting the Portland Historical Society.
As a result, all their tours include a little bit of
history of the Chinook Indians, fur trappers
and settlers who used to live in the area.
The longer the tour, the more you learn.
Those yearning for a little adventure will
be interested in the Cunningham Slough
tour to the downstream end of Sauvie
Island, and the Hobie trimaran tour, which
teaches visitors how to operate these small
sailboats that incorporate sailing, paddling
and pedaling.
Any Scappoose Bay Kayaking tour, said
Gibons “is an inexpensive way to get out
into an area you’ve never been before and
see things you’ve never seen before.”
In the end, this could be said about all the PCC
Community Education classes that connect
you with summer “staycation” adventures.
Whether you’re in it for excitement or
leisure, the bottom line is you don’t have to
go far to go far.
