Dollar Clothing Sale Week 3


The Dollar Clothing Sale, which took place Wednesday, October 16, next to the library on the Albany LBCC campus, sold clothing of all styles and sizes to support LBCC scholarships. From left, Nicole Lawler and Bel Krebs shop for everyday clothes in hopes to support their fellow students.

LBCC faculty member Gwen Cox helps out at the Dollar Sale for most of the day, the sale took place from 10 am to 2pm. She walks around folding clothes and leading students around to find their section since different brands label sizes differently.



Over the course of a few hours, the Dollar Sale had hundreds of visitors, and ultimately raised 800 dollars for student scholarships: a record-breaking number. This is not the only record broken at this year's sale, however; there were a record number of volunteers and donations from student and staff.

The Benton County Courthouse Vigil

Image
Ed Epley, an 82-year-old peace activist from Corvallis, Oregon, stands in front of the Benton County Courthouse every day from five to six PM with his 1961 VW bus, which he bought brand new back in the day. Epley joined this vigil a week after it was created in 2001. The vigil's first meeting, which began on October 7, 2001, in accordance to the first US bombing of Afghanistan, took place in front of the courthouse with about 50 people. Now, Ed is one of the few people who still stand out in front of Courthouse every night, helping the vigil reach its name of being the longest lasting daily anti-war peaceful protest in the United States. Most of the people who were part of the original group are gone: some grew too old, some can’t come down due to the cold weather, and some have moved away. Ed, however, continues to stand despite the challenges. Ed Epley, on December fourth, told me he protests in hopes to “keep the issue current to the people here that we still have t

Humans of LBCC Week 1

Hannah Zeller Freshman Hannah Zeller, undecided in major, but an interest in science, commutes from Philomath. “My commute’s pretty long. My earliest class is Trigonometry. It’s at nine. It’s two hours, two times a week. We do get a break in the middle. I have to get up at, like, 5:30 to get here. It might be worth it; we’ll find out at the end.” Zeller, still getting used to the commute, says the most wild part of campus is parking. “If I see a spot, I’ll take it, I don’t even care where it is. I’m okay with walking as long as I can find somewhere to park. Today I got here just before class, and I was freaking out. Everyone else was late too, so I was the first person in the class.” Damon Fisher Damon Fisher, a highschooler who is attending LB for free because of his high school grades, is currently attending classes to look toward a music major. “I wish I could sing. I do write, though. I write for piano, guitar, and a couple of different styles of tribal drum

Forum Week 7

     I am going to photograph Albany, although I live in Lacomb currently. I lived in Albany for 15 years. I was born in Lebanon, but we moved to Albany when I was three. I went to school in Albany, and some of my fondest memories growing up were in this town. I am going to go to the Albany Regal Cinemas to take a portrait. I have always loved going to the theater, and this photo would really be able to demonstrate that. For the landmark, I am going to photograph Monteith Park, specifically the stage. I have always loved getting on that stage when no one is around to just dance and be a goof, not to mention the countless times I went to River Rhythms as a kid. Finally, for the action, I would like to try to get people representing a presidential candidate or Kate Brown outside City Hall or Target, where they usually are. Sometimes there are even people on 34th who are part of a Union. These movements really make me smile because I remember when I was little, I loved how my mom would ho
