Community Soccer Practice

-


Want to play soccer without the pressure of winning or worrying about how good you are? Are you looking to make some new friends? Then this is the place for you! Every Tuesday at 4pm you’re welcome to come play soccer on the field behind the track. Every experience level is welcome to come and join the fun. Remember to bring a water bottle!
Elijah Espinosa goes to pass the ball back into the game. Elijah wants to go to school to be a PE teacher for Jr. High, so you can count on him to make sure everyone gets their stretches in before playing!

Stephanie Pace and Mason Sloan race for the ball! Stephanie is a local community member that helps organize this weekly event. She actually got hit by the ball in the stomach during the game, but felt no pain due to her “mom abs.”

They came to the LBCC Albany campus on October 24th to talk about their images and give advice to aspiring photographers. Some of the best advice that I heard f...

Image: Tobacco.Stanford.Edu While walking towards Takena Hall before your day of classes you may have noticed a designated smoking area or two in the parking lot. Has it always been like this? Around 50 years ago there wasn’t such a thing as designated smoke areas. When you walked into a classroom there would be big glasses, wild hair, and puffs of smoke coming from students and teachers during lectures. In 1981, Oregon legislation passed the Indoor Clean Air Act which prohibited smoking inside public buildings. This was to protect non-smokers from second-hand smoke. In 2009, the Indoor Clean Air Act had some modifications that included banning smoking within 10 feet of public doorways. After this ban, colleges everywhere had to make arrangements for the students who partake in smoking. “They [Linn County Department of Health] came out here and they told us, ‘If we find cigarette butts anywhere close to your doors, you’re going to get cited.’” said Marcene Olson, Director of ...
