Running for good: Community college president raises money, awareness for students in need
SALEM, Ore. (KOIN) — A marathon-running college president will make his way through Oregon on foot beginning on June 16, totaling over 1500 consecutive miles on his route to all 17 of Oregon's community colleges. Clackamas Community College President Dr. Tim Cook will visit Chemeketa Community College as a part of his Running for Oregon Community College Students marathon program. Chemeketa students and faculty will complete the final mile with him on campus. This marathon is a labor of love in many ways, one of which is a love for the activity itself. In an interview with Let's Talk Portland, Dr. Cook said, 'I've run over 50 marathons, I've been running for about 20 years pretty avidly… but never anything this ambitious.' Not only does Cook love running — he cares deeply about his students. 'For several years I've been concerned about basic needs for community college students,' Dr. Cook said. 'Even before the pandemic I was seeing students that were having problems with getting food, I knew there were students living in their cars that were taking classes. It was just something that had been on my mind.' Funds raised through the ROCCS program go to students facing food insecurity, housing instability, and other welfare challenges. Dr. Cook was inspired by Fernando Rojas, a Clatsop Community College faculty member who made a similar trek on a bike to visit OCCs in 2021, entitled 'Bandit Biking for Books,' in order to raise money to go towards covering textbook costs for students. Cook has taken advice and aid from Rojas in planning this journey. According to a Hope Center survey conducted in Spring 2023 on Portland Community College students, 43% of responders experienced food insecurity, 56% reported challenges to their housing stability, and 18% disclosed not having a place to live at one point during the last year. Financial instability in community college students is an issue not unique to Oregon — according to New America, many students end up abandoning their education due to these challenges. Cook and Rojas are setting examples for what the greater public can do to help the next generation obtain degrees and become successful in the workplace. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

‘Leave fawns alone': Ohio Division of Wildlife issues another alert
**Related Video Above: Ohio troopers rescue baby deer from side of busy highway (Credit: Ohio State Highway Patrol) CLEVELAND (WJW) — The Ohio Division of Wildlife is continuing to ask people to go against their instinct and leave baby deer in place should they come upon any that appear abandoned. 'You took this from a 4-year-old': Parma grandfather's plea after flamingo stolen 'Please leave fawns alone,' the Division of Wildlife wrote in a Facebook post Monday, along with a photo similar to the one below: 'This is completely normal behavior for a deer fawn, and human intervention is unnecessary,' the division said in the post. This was a reiteration of a post from earlier this spring urging Ohioans to leave the little deer in peace. Rescue photos: Deer gets stuck on rocks behind Rock Hall Mother deer reportedly do not spend a lot of time with their nearly scentless offspring in order to keep fawns safe from predators. Often in cities, that means fawns appear to be left behind near people's homes and gardens, but their mothers will visit multiple times a day. If you believe a fawn has actually been abandoned or is in danger, reach out to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator in your area. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Residents erupt as entire Aussie suburb left smelling 'like a toilet' after major leak
Residents of an Australian suburb are complaining their local area "smells like a toilet" after a deluge of human waste began spreading through the area. Aerial images show thousands of litres of human excrement pooling in a sports field in Perth's south, which has slowly run down to the popular tourist area of Fremantle, prompting authorities to plead with the public to avoid recreational activities like fishing. The problem was caused by a burst sewer pipe in Beaconsfield four days ago. Dean Stacey, a spokesperson from the Water Corporation, explained the ongoing issue is "quite complex". The initial leak caused smaller and related overflows in neighbouring suburbs, which made their way into the Swan River, a major waterway. "The repair in Spearwood is quite complex, instead of being able to weld a band around that pipeline, we're having to prefabricate a new section of pipeline,' he said. While the leak has been stopped, authorities are now scrambling to custom-make new pipes to fix the spill. After the pipe burst on Friday, residents reported a foul smell wafting from the leafy Perth suburb, Nine News reported. "[I] went out to look and you could smell it," one resident said. Another said it "smells like a toilet." Water Corporation has warned residents that it's expected to take "some time" to make the repairs. 'Given the complexity of the wastewater network, there remains a risk of further localised overflows," it said. "As repairs progress, the public is asked to avoid affected areas. Warning signage, security, and barricades are in place for the community's protection." Water Corporation is working with the WA Department of Health, Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and Department of Biodiversity, Conservation to ensure public safety. 'In the event of contact with any residual wastewater, wash hands thoroughly with soap and clean water and disinfect any surfaces exposed to wastewater,' it said. If locals begin to feel unwell or experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue and nausea, seek medical advice. Do you have a story tip?
