50 Years in the Making: Benton Center

Since 1967, LBCC has served Benton County and the surrounding communities, starting with evening adult education classes held at Corvallis High School.

In 1971, LBCC opened the first headquarters for the Benton Center in a 10 x 35-foot trailer parked near CHS, offering around 80 evening classes in high school classrooms and elsewhere in Corvallis. Adult education director Orville Zielaskowski was appointed as the first center director.

In September 1977, the Benton Center moved to its current location in the former Washington Elementary School on Polk Avenue in Corvallis. Math and business technology were the first core programs offered, along with ongoing adult basic education and parent education classes.

In addition to on-site classroom space, the new building offered space for a ceramics lab, and the school's gym became home to the center's fitness classes – ever popular with community members today.

In 1994, a successful bond measure provided funds for installation of an elevator and ramps to meet requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In November 2000, a $19.1 million bond measure passed which allowed the college to begin a $5 million renovation of the Benton Center.

Completed in 2004, the renovation included increased space for student services, as well as faculty offices, seven new classrooms and an improved entrance for the center.

Today, the Benton Center serves more than 5,000 students and community members each year. In response to growth in LBCC’s partnership program with OSU, which allows students to attend LBCC and OSU at the same time, and increased demand for the health, personal enrichment and professional development classes at the center, expansion plans are underway which will provide an additional 20,000 square feet of classroom space and increased parking spaces.

50 Years in the Making: Lebanon Center

Originally housed in three modular units outside Lebanon Union High School, the LBCC Lebanon Center has served East Linn county since 1972, providing space to hold community education classes.

In 1981, the center relocated to a 19-acre site at 2600 Stoltz Hill Road, which encompassed seven acres of donated land and 12 acres of adjacent land purchased by the college. 

For some, the Stoltz Hill location was a bit off the beaten path, and in 1986, the Lebanon community and the Chamber of Commerce requested the center to move downtown. The former J.C. Penney building on 550 Main Street was donated to house the center, and the Stoltz Hill site was put up for sale.

The new location offered three times the space as the Stoltz Hill facility. In 1988, the college received a state economic development grant to remodel the building, which was completed in 1990.

As the community grew and the college expanded class offerings in Lebanon and East Linn County, the need for more space became apparent. A 1994 purchase/donation agreement with James River Corporation gave LBCC ownership of approximately six acres of the historic Elkins Mill site at 44 Industrial Way.

In 2000, the passage of a $19.1 million bond allowed the college to begin construction of a 44,000-square-foot center. LBCC partnered with local workforce agencies to create a one-stop center, the East Linn Workforce Development Center, to provide community members access to a variety of public services and education in one location.

Construction also included an additional 2,500-square-foot annex with meeting rooms, a kitchen, restrooms and reception area, along with the restoration of the historic Elkins Mill on site, which was built between 1871 and 1878.

On May 31, 2001, the new LBCC Lebanon Center and East Linn Workforce Development Center was dedicated. Today, approximately 1,700 students take at least one class at the Lebanon and Sweet Home Centers each year.

50 Years in the Making: Sweet Home Center

Since 1971, LBCC has offered community education classes in Sweet Home and surrounding areas. Originally named the Santiam Center, the center shared an office with the Sweet Home Chamber of Commerce at 1240 10th Avenue. Mona Waibel served as director.

Approximately 275 students took classes that first year, which included high school equivalency classes, art, business education, welding and writing classes. Most classes were held in local churches during the day and at Sweet Home High School in the evening.

As demand for community education grew, LBCC and the Chamber continued their partnership by leasing a building at 1314 Long Street. The new space included a classroom, storage, restrooms and offices for LBCC and Chamber use.

An open house was held in 1975. In 1985, the college expanded its reach to include classes in Brownsville and Central Linn. Classes were held at the Brownsville Recreation Center, Brownsville Library and City Hall, and at Central Linn High School.

The Sweet Home Chamber moved to another location, and LBCC took over the lease on the building. The move provided an additional classroom for center use.

In 2003, demand again exceeded space and construction soon began on a new 5,000-square-foot East Linn Sweet Home Center, built adjacent to Sweet Home High School at 1661 Long Street. The $500,000 project was funded through a $19.1 million bond.

LBCC’s new Sweet Home Center was formally dedicated September 20, 2004. The new center included office space, a GED classroom, a testing center, an art room, a computer lab and access to classrooms in Sweet Home High School.

Today, approximately 1,700 students take at least one class at the LBCC Sweet Home and Lebanon Centers each year.

50 Years in the Making: Honoring Bob Ross

As LBCC's first full-time employee and faculty member hired in June 1968, biology instructor Bob Ross shares a significant milestone with LBCC. One might even say the two grew up together.

"It doesn't feel like 50 years of teaching. It sneaks up on you because you're having a great time," said Ross. "I can't imagine a better life.

Ross remembers LBCC’s early days and compares them to being a pioneer arriving in a new, uncultivated land. "There was so much excitement and creativity at that time. We were asking, ‘What are the students asking for? What do they need?’ We were listening. It was fun to hear the feedback.”

Over the next five decades, Ross taught courses in biology, botany, natural history, foods and nutrition, zoology, vegetable garden ecology, reproductive strategies, Oregon ecology and photography.

Ross’s philosophy was, and still is, all about teaching students how to be curious, to observe and to make connections in their learning. Ross and his students have explored and studied plants and animals in Oregon’s wetlands, coasts, forests, streams, mountains and fields. One class watched elk swimming in the ocean. Another hiked with Ross and other instructors into the crater of Mt. St. Helens.

Although he officially retired in 1998, Ross continued to teach full-time for a few years after, donating his salary to the Peace and Justice Institute. He now teaches part-time, and still believes his best work is helping students grow at LBCC.

“College is about folks who blossom into the futures they envision for themselves. My greatest honor comes from LBCC, that allows me to continue to share the wonders of life with students so that they can be more successful people,” said Ross.

50 Years in the Making: Honoring Joseph Novak

LBCC’s fifth President Dr. Rita Cavin and Joseph Novak at his
retirement from the college Board of Education
in January 2007. Novak helped hire Dr. Cavin,
who served as LBCC’s first female president.
Through the years, LBCC has been fortunate to have had many dedicated people who gave their time and energy to help make it the great institution it is today.

One of those people was Joseph Novak. When Joseph retired from the LBCC Board of Education after serving 25 years, he said, “I think LBCC is the finest community college in this state. Education is the greatest tool you can have in terms of economic development.”

As one of the longest-serving college board members, serving from 1981 and 2006, Joseph gave not only of his time but also his unending passion. His recent passing in January reminds us of his many contributions to LBCC.

Joseph served three terms as the college board chair and four terms as vice chair. He worked with four of six LBCC presidents, helping to hire three. For more than 30 years, Joseph consistently advocated to legislators for more state funding for community colleges.

In 2007, LBCC honored Joseph with a Distinguished Service Award. That same year, LBCC student leaders also honored Joseph with an honorary membership into Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society of Two-Year Colleges.

Joseph’s dedication to LBCC, to students and to his community touched many lives and many hearts. LBCC will continue to do great things because of people like him.

50 Years in the Making: Livestock Judging Team

2017 Livestock Judging Team, l to r: Auguste Curtis, coach Rick Klampe, Cecily Coleman, Nathan Johnson, Bailey Samper, Madison Morgan, Brooke Hopfer, Shaelee Barnett, Emmitt White, Maddie Griffiths, Mikayla Duchi, Breanna King, Clark Jernstedt, Katie Duggan, Hailee Patterson, Kevin Snyder, Jared Wolf, Chris Ralston, Noa Taipin and coach Clay Weber.
 
Throughout the college history, LBCC has supported the educational goals of our students by providing learning opportunities outside the classroom, including opportunities to engage in co-curricular programs and student clubs.

One of our earliest co-curricular programs is the LBCC Livestock Judging Team, which was established in 1974. Animal Science faculty member and team coach Rick Klampe competed on the team as a student from 1979 to 1981, winning first-place overall at the 1980 North American International Livestock Exposition.

Klampe starting coaching in 1988, and Agricultural Sciences faculty member Clay Weber joined the team in 2001. 

This past fall, the team had two historic wins: defeating two universities, Fresno State and Chico State, in the Western Fall Classic; and winning two contests in two different states on the same day, at the Big Fresno Fair, and at the Colorado State Ram Classic.

As an integral part LBCC’s programs, the benefits of being part of a team extend beyond the competition. Communication skills, critical thinking and teamwork are essential characteristics that students gain from participating in co-curricular’s and clubs.

Serving as an example, five past Livestock Judging team members have been named LBCC Distinguished Alumni: Kathrin Dunlap, 2009; Lisa Charpilloz Hanson, 2011; Loyal Burns, 2012; Mitch Coleman, 2013; and Brad Gohr, 2015. 

Today, our students can choose from a variety of co-curricular programs and clubs, from livestock judging and equestrian teams to space exploration, ROV, music, horticulture, performing arts, welding and more.

The LBCC Russell Tripp theater presents a special event Friday, April 13 with "Scarewaves," a horror-comedy in the style of classic radio drama.

Recently discovered in the catacombs beneath the LBCC Russell Tripp Theater were two lost, never performed scripts from the little-known, and possibly non-existent, horror writer Meridian Welch: "The Dark Mansion's Curse" and "Captain Steadfast Meets Dr. Draculanus."

Join us for an evening of chills, creaking doors and the bizarre as we listen into the abyss. What do we hear? Our own rapid heartbeats! Footsteps behind us! A squeaking dog toy! More creaking doors!

"Scarewaves" plays Friday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m., LBCC Russell Tripp Theater, Albany. Tickets are $8 general admission, $6 students and seniors. Buy in advance at linnbenton.edu/tickets or at the door one hour before show starts.
