SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2016 LCC pottery class hosting holiday sale to raise funds This Friday, Nov. 18, pot- tery students at Lane Community College Florence Center will be offering bowls, vases, plates, coffee mugs and more during a special holiday pottery sale. “The money we raise will go toward the purchase of a pug mill, which is a large machine that we can use to recycle scrap clay,” said Geraldine McMahon, a stu- dent in the Clayworks class. “It rehydrates the clay so we can reuse it. Right now we do it by hand, but it’s getting harder for some of our older students.” Though the machine costs several thousand dollars, it would soon pay for itself with the time and clay saved by recycling with the pug mill. Friday’s sale is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Florence campus, 3149 Oak Street. Items will be priced from 25 cents to $10.

COM “Mary earned this award many times over, both in terms of what she has accomplished at Lane Community College and even more so for what she has accomplished and con- tributed to all of us as a collec- tive of community colleges,” wrote Presidents Greg Hamann of Linn-Benton Community College and Camille Preus of Blue Mountain Community College, in a joint nomination letter. They added, “As sterling as her educational and employ- ment credentials are, they don’t describe the enormous impact Mary has had on com- munity colleges within Oregon and across the nation. “Nearly every important activity involving higher edu- cation and workforce policy in the past two decades has her name associated as a partici- pant, speaker, facilitator, or leader,” the letter said. In a brief acceptance com- ment, Spilde said her upcom- ing retirement in June won’t end her advocacy for commu- nity colleges, but she hopes it will temper her 365-24-7 schedule.
