UCC to host fi rst-ever National Career, Technical Education Day
Together with other leading
schools from across the nation,
Umpqua Community College
(UCC) is hosting its fi rst-ever
National Career and Technical
Education (CTE) Signing Day
on Th ursday, Feb. 21, from 5 to
7 p.m.
New students who sign a let-
ter of intent to attend UCC for
the 2019-20 school year will
be showcased during the live-
streamed, nationwide signing
event.
Th is event is designed to
honor students who are en-
tering a technical fi eld and to
emphasize the College’s com-
mitment to help them gain the
skills necessary to compete in
high-demand occupations.
“Technical education train-
ing prepares students for strong
careers,” Jason Aase, UCC’s
Dean of Career and Technical
Education (CTE), said. “Th ese
careers pay very well, and are
oft en not possible to enter di-
rectly out of high school with-
out some level of college educa-
tion or training. By signing our
incoming students to Letters of
Intent, we are telling them that
UCC has reserved a place for
them and we want them here.”
Sponsored by the National
Coalition of Certifi cation Cen-
ters (NC3), this event mirrors
the NCAA’s National Signing
Day for athletes who commit to
play sports in college.
More than 60 institutions
across the country are partic-
ipating. UCC, who is locally
from A1
vice when that was available.”
Mark Johnson, Assistant
General Manager for LTD at-
tended the City Council meet-
ing to address questions and
concerns.
City Councilor Greg Er-
vin questioned Johnson on
how subsidies for the program
might be impacted as ridership
grows.
“We’re committed to work-
ing with the city and with Ruth
at South Lane Wheels to make
sure that we respond accord-
ingly and appropriately to bet-
ter serve people and make sure
they get where they want to go
when they want to go there,”
said Johnson.
Johnson also presented data
showing that, out of 201 trips
so far, the MOD service had an
average wait time of eight to 12
minutes and median ride times
were fi ve to 10 minutes.
More information about
the MOD service can be found
at www.ltd.org/system-map/
route_MOD/ and more infor-
mation about the changes to
the Route 98 loop can be found
at www.ltd.org/system-map/
route_98/.

In addition to this, the com-
pany still provides its own ser-
vices.
“We have always off ered
door-to-door service and that
concerns local destinations
as well as up to the Eugene/
Springfi eld metro area,” said
South Lane Wheels Execu-
tive Director Ruth Linoz. “So
if what’s off ered through the
Mobility on Demand service
doesn’t fi t people’s needs, they
have that option on weekdays.”
As of the Jan. 14 launch of
the MOD Pilot Program, South
Lane Wheels also suspended its
Route Around Town service.
“Th e logic there is, the Mo-
bility on Demand is cheap-
er, more fl exible, more hours
of service and people have a
chance to use LTD’s fare sys-
tem,” said Linoz. “It just didn’t
make sense to continue our ser-

DAMIEN SHERWOOD/COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL
Executive Director of South Lane Wheels Ruth Linoz
addresses the City Council regarding the MOD Pilot
Program in Cottage Grove.
ECONorthwest, a Eu-
gene-based economic con-
sulting fi rm, presented a plan
for 20 years of future growth
in Cottage Grove. In identi-
fying land with development
capacity, 391 acres of vacant or
partially vacant unconstrained
buildable land was found. Th e
plan suggested the city would
have to build, on average, 69
new dwelling units per year to
meet the demands of the area’s
projected growth.
Th e analysis recommended
updating housing policies by
monitoring land availability,
creating development oppor-
tunities particular to the city’s
needs, supporting aff ordable
housing for low- and mid-
dle-income households, coor-
dinating infrastructure plan-
ning and identifying funding
opportunities.
Th e council voted to adopt
the housing policies into the
city’s comprehensive plan.
Emerald Ash Borer
Presentation
An informational presenta-
tion was given by Urban For-
estry Committee Chair Reilly
Newman on the Emerald Ash
Borer, an invasive pest which
consumes and eventually kills
ash trees. Th e insect has report-
edly reached parts of Western
Colorado and is moving north-
west, threatening various habi-
tat types and potentially caus-
ing local extinction of Oregon’s
native ash species.
