Career tech education is back, and

A
new construction classroom at Crook County
High School in Prineville is giving students the
opportunity to work in small groups and learn trades
including roofing, concrete tile setting, plumbing and
solar panel installation.

The classroom has 20 different
stations where students gain real,
hands-on experience in each trade.
Ryan Cochran, the school’s career
and technical education , or CTE,
coordinator, said that once con-
struction 2 and 3 classes are added,
students will be able to complete
the series in three trimesters and
earn a national certification in con-
struction.
Construction, along with robot-
ics and computer science, are the
latest additions to the school’s CTE
offerings, and the classes are full.
“A lot of our kids’ goals are to go
to college and get a degree,” Co-
chran said. “But a lot of our kids
want to go into some amazing trade
jobs that are much needed and have
great wages. Ultimately, that’s what
we want to provide is an avenue
for kids that are college-bound and
also career-bound.”
CTE programs provide students
an opportunity to explore potential
career paths in high school and give
them courses that teach technical
skills and applied academics and
lead to a career after graduation.
Programs and career paths range
from agriculture, automotive, con-

struction, graphic design, health
science, culinary and manufactur-
ing.
With increasing costs of higher
education, educators say there has
been a shift in how students look
at paths after high school. Educa-
tors argue that options like tech-
nical trade school, apprenticeship
programs and two-year degrees
can lead to just as good, if not bet-
ter, quality of life than the tradi-
tional four-year path. Participation
in CTE programs has also been
shown to lead to higher high school
graduation rates.
Cochran said the school district
has placed more emphasis on CTE
programs over the past few years, a
trend seen in districts throughout
Central Oregon.

A Redmond whitewater salvage
expert known in Northwest search
and rescue circles was arraigned
Monday for allegedly attempting
to murder his wife.
Prosecutors allege Marshall
Glenn Angel, 77 , also known as
Mark, beat his wife, Judy Angel,
with a rock, at-
tempted to stran-
gle her with the
sash of a robe,
placed a bag
over her head,
threatened her
with a firearm
Angel
and attempted
to throw her in a
pond before she escaped.
According to previous cover-
age in The Bulletin, Angel is a re-
nowned whitewater rescue expert,
credited with pulling boats, valu-
ables and human remains from
bodies of water around the state.
He’s especially well known for
his rescues from the rapids of the
Deschutes River and his practice
of offering his services for free to
families searching for lost loved
ones.
Deschutes County sheriff’s dep-
uties responded to reports of a dis-
pute near the couple’s Redmond
residence Saturday morning and
found Judy Angel, who was taken
to a local hospital by ambulance,
according to the sheriff’s office.
In an unusual hearing in De-
schutes County Circuit Court on
Monday afternoon, Angel was ar-
raigned on six charges, including
second-degree attempted mur-
der and four other felonies. Angel
spoke for himself and appeared to
accept what prosecutors accused
him of.
Circuit Court Judge Alycia
Sykora repeatedly suggested he ac-
cept a public defender to assist in
his defense.
“I don’t want you to talk about
the details of your case Mr. Angel,
but there are some very serious
allegations here,” Sykora said, not-
ing that Angel could face 20 years
in prison for the attempted mur-
der charge alone.

him to court an urn contain-
ing his mother’s ashes. He
said the resolution has hit his
three younger sisters hard. He
has been unable to contact his
youngest sister since she ran
away from home one month
ago.
“I’m just sort confused why
it’s such a small sentence,” he
told the judge. “My mom was
a really good person. She was
always willing to do anything
for anyone.”
