New cybersecurity degree
program launches at LCC
Masons announce scholarship winners
Registration is open now through mid-September
Lane Community Col-
lege is introducing a new
cybersecurity degree pro-
gram that will train stu-
dents for computer and
network security jobs.
Graduates will take
leading-edge skills into
a promising job market.
Oregon has about 300
job openings currently.
Worldwide, it is estimated
that 3.5 million jobs will
be available by 2021.
“Tech is the fastest
growing job sector any-
where you look,” says
Chris Rehn, division dean
for Computer Information
Technology and Business
at LCC. He says one in 20
jobs is now tech related.
The need for cyberse-
curity is fueled by email
breaches, phishing, cy-
ber-ransom, online spy-
ing, open source flaws,
election tampering and
more.
Local need is driven in
part by Silicon Shire, the
metro area’s nickname for
an estimated 400 technol-
ogy companies.
Lane has partnered with
Amazon Web Services,
Cisco Systems, VMWare,
CompTIA, and Palo Alto
Networks to train students
on the same hardware and
software used in the work-
place.
While on the degree
path, students can stack
up credentials as a Cisco
Certified Entry Network
Technician
(CCENT),
Cisco Certified Network
Associate (CCNA) in Cy-
ber Operations, Amazon
Web Services (AWS) Cer-
tified Solutions Architect,
and Palo Alto Networks
Certified Cybersecu-rity
Associate.
For registration infor-
mation, visit www.lanecc.
edu/cit/cybersecurity or
call the LCC Computer
Information Technology
Department at 541-463-
5221.

Library to present new Endowment Books
The Siuslaw Public Li-
brary will be presenting
new books purchased this
year with proceeds from
its endowment fund on
Thursday, June 6, at 1 p.m.
in the Bromley Room of
the Florence branch, 1460
Ninth St.
The Siuslaw Library En-
dowment Fund, adminis-
tered by the Western Lane
Community Foundation,
was founded in 1994 spe-
cifically for the purchase
of books. The fund was
started by an initial dona-
tion from the Friends of
the Siuslaw Public Library
and has been added to each
year with donations from
the Friends as well as dona-
tions from many individu-
als in the community.
Bookplates are placed in
the endowment books ac-
knowledging the individual
and group donations.
Each year the library re-
ceives a certain amount of
the interest accrued in its
Endowment Fund for the
purchase of new books.
As the fund increases,
the amount available to
spend on new additions to
the library’s collection of
children’s, young adult and
adult books increases.
The Library Endowment
Fund allows the library to
maintain the wide and var-
ied print collection offered
to library patrons. Some of
the books purchased are
special, more expensive
books that would not fit
within the library’s regular
book-purchasing budget.
These special purchases
range from large coffee-ta-
ble books filled with stun-
ning art and photography
to current reference books
to up-to-date science and
health books. Special cook-

On May 7, Florence Masonic lodge No. 107 members presented four schol-
arships to high school seniors. The Florence Masonic Lodge presented
scholarships to Seth Morton and Casey A. Arvilla of Siuslaw High School
and Triangle Lake High School senior Emma Mather, who received the
lodge’s first Ardell Bennett Scholarship. Micah Reed, also of Triangle Lake,
received the Masonic Widow’s Club Scholarship. Ardell Bennett was a
Masonic Widow, providing major efforts and support for the Widow’s Club
to keep presenting more scholarships. In memory of Bennett, her family
established the Ardell Bennett Scholarship Fund, which is given in addi-
tion to the Masonic Widow’s Club Scholarship. The lodge also gives schol-
arships to seniors going to trade schools in the Masons’ efforts to support
education in many different forms. Applicants for scholarships don’t have
to belong to the Masonic Lodge to apply.

year as director and fifth
year with the U.S. Forest
Service. Prior to coming

sharing special places like

her most important jobs is
to inspire the next gener-
ation of advocates for spe-
cial places.
