Here we see one of the members of the Linn-Benton Community College women's volleyball team serve against her teammates during a practice on Tuesday, November 1, 2022.
With the their NWAC regular season drawing to a close, The Commuter interviewed Linn-Benton Head Volleyball Coach Jayme Frazier about the incredible season her team is having. The Roadrunners are defending NWAC champions, having finished the 2022 season with a 34-1 record alongside their conference trophy. While their fans are hoping for a repeat, Coach Frazier maintains her focus on the present. After 23 games in 2023, Linn-Benton remains undefeated, having been taken to 5 sets only once. Propelled by returning players from the 2022 title team, such as Grace Boeder , LB fields a slew of freshman who have stepped in to pick up where departing players left off. Named head coach of the Roadrunners in 1993, Jayme Frazier has been leading LB every year except 2000. Frazier's successes with the team are numerous and Roadrunner fans are hoping the ride continues. I'll start with the obvious, are you thinking about an undefeated season? We are not actively focused on th...
In the quest for the next big music star, or even next great song, society scours the internet (and everywhere else, too) for even a hint that an artist has potential. By observing the Billboard Hot 100 , one name you'll come across is David Kushner. Never heard of him? All the better. At 23 years old, Kushner began his professional music career in 2020. His music has been streamed more than 500 million times, and his most notable single reached a peak of 47 on the Billboard Hot 100... so far. Is Kushner the big thing in music? You'll have to listen to "Daylight" to make a decision. David Kushner’s "Daylight" is a somber tune from a baritone voice that explores our inner conception of morality and our struggles with our inner self. The song is haunting, and the accompanying video matches the theme of the music. Check out the full lyrics here . The video starts with Kushner entering a church with a young boy while singing of his desire to stay away from his...
When I started interviewing Chris Riseley, I knew that he was a writing professor and led a few clubs at LBCC. What I did not know was the impact he has had on this community. When a student interrupted our outdoor interview to thank Chris for inspiring him to complete his education when he thought he could not, I began to realize how appreciated Professor Risely really is. In his 13 years of teaching at Linn-Benton Community College, Riseley has not just been a college professor, but a part of the fabric of both Albany and the state of Oregon. Known by students all across the campus, he has taught multitudes of pupils over his career. Quirky enough to own lizards, cats and goldfish, he brings his big personality and enthusiasm to educate not just to the classroom, but life itself. In my interview with Chris I got a glimpse of the infectious energy that he brings into his classrooms and optimism that students leave his classrooms with about their writing, their careers, and their ...
