DIEGO CERVANTES

The Center for the Arts lit up for the third annual student dance

showcase on Oct. 19. Student choreographers were given

the freedom of unraveling a spark of inspiration into a sizzling work of art over a pe-riod of eight weeks. Students were able to choose the theme, costumes, dancers, rehearsal

times, as well as the choreog-raphy.

“The most diffi cult thing for me as a dancer would be getting as much exposure without over-exposing myself,” dance major David “Braulio” Martinez said as he warmed up prior to his performance of “Perdido” just outside the CAA building.

The show opened with Autumn Crayon’s per-

formance of “Dream-ing,” which featured

a girl surround-ed by colorful

characters that came to life and danced with her to an instru-mental of “Moment for Life” by Nicki Minaj.

T h e characters w o u l d burst into d a n c e and sud-d e n l y s t o p

with the music, leaving her distressed with the question of whether or not the main character was living a dream or just dreaming.

“After Hours,” choreographed by Amber Hayes, told the story of a work-ing businesswoman who knew how to let go of the daily grind and express herself. Michael Bublé’s “Feeling Good” accompanied the dancers as they came home from work wearing coats and hats and slipped into more comfortable clothing.

Havana Brown’s “We Run the Night” joined in and gave a hip-hopish segment to the routine and ended with the return of “Feeling Good,” which gave the number a sexy fi nish that conveyed the mes-sage to the audience fl awlessly.

“Slimnastic Swank,” choreo-graphed by Habeel Abdulhusain, brought a censored version of Eric Prydz’s “Call On Me” video to the showcase audience. Dancers sported neon-colored workout clothing that screamed ‘80s. The well-received per-formance brought energy, a foot-tapping audience and crotch toweling.

Next up was Braulio’s performance ti-tled “Perdido,” meaning “lost” in Spanish. The performance portrayed his life story in the form of modern-based ballet. Despair, angst and perseverance was communicated to the audience as he danced with Christi-ana Powell. Occasionally they seemed to pick each other up out of kneeling posi-tions in order to keep dancing. The danc-ing was very smooth and fl uid, which went well with the music and theme.

“The hardest part of the whole thing would have to be the actual per-formance itself,” Andy Carballo, dance major said. “I have adrena-line going, the crowd cheering, and I’m vulnerable for four minutes.”

Think you can dance?

GIANNI MARASCO

Ed note: The elections are on Nov. 6, and with so much debate among and about the presidential candidates, we asked staff writer Gianni Marasco to give us his two cents. Unfortunately, he gave us three…

Barack Obama’s race for re-election has been aggressive and arduous, but Obama remained undeterred and is now tied with Mitt Romney in the polls.

The President created his political fin-gerprint within his first days in office.

His orders to close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center were discarded by Con-gress, who refused to give the necessary funding.

Obama also froze the bank accounts of several White House employees in an at-tempt to show the public that if “families tighten their belts, so should Washington,” as he put it.

A hundred days into his presidency, more than 60 percent of Americans ap-proved of the way things were going.

The President intervened in the auto industry with a massive bail-out, saving at least a million jobs, and the industry expects to create about 167,000 more by 2015.

Obama also made his position on dis-crimination in the workplace known in 2009 by signing the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. One of the first bills he signed made sure women, or any cases where pay discrimination is involved, would be treat-ed more seriously.

The next year, Obama signed the Af-

fordable Care Act, which will insure 32 million previously uninsured Americans, will be covered beginning in 2014.

Obama is pro-choice. “Abortion should be legal in accordance with Roe vs. Wade,” he said.

When the question of “when does life begin” arose at a press conference, Obama remarked, “Whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective, or a scien-tific perspective, answering that question with specificity is above my pay grade.”

Obama gradually warranted favor of the Lesbian/Gay/Transgender community.

First was his Mathew Shepard, James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which piled sexual orientation and gender into the list of hate crime candidates.

Then, the President repealed the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, allowing any openly homosexual person to serve in any branch of the military.

Proposition 8 was introduced in the No-vember ballots 2008 ballot in California. Obama announced that he was in opposi-tion to the proposal.

Prop 8, if passed would consider mar-riage only between a man and a woman.

Perhaps rightfully cautious at first, Obama made his opinion clear some time before his nomination for re-election. During an interview, the President plainly stated he was in favor of same-sex mar-riage.

The President also introduced an eco-nomic stimulus package, which received mixed reviews.

He was cited as lazy on fiscal issues and many people still believe the economy still

has much recovery to undergo.But whether it was terminating the long-

sought terrorist Osama Bin Laden, or with-drawing the last of the troops from Iraq in 2011, Obama’s accomplishments are clear cut, as are his political positions.

Socially, Obama is conscientious and open-minded. This is a reason so many young people across the country will be voting for him in November.

Mitt Romney speculates there are 342 economic programs currently corrupting and upsetting the economy.

He also believes high tax rates discour-age business owners from setting up here. Romney accuses President Obama of cut-ting spending but increasing taxes.

Romney also believes in the stabiliza-tion of federal funding, which he cites as out of control.

Since Obama’s induction in 2008, fed-eral spending will have risen nearly $3 tril-lion in the next 10 years.

Romney said it “was entirely a matter of choice.”

Obama is considered by Romney to have an expansive agenda when it comes to regulation.

This includes Obama’s “war on carbon dioxide,” which has been called the “most far-reaching environmental regulatory scheme” in history by Time magazine.

Romney says his plan is to limit reg-ulation costs like any other fee. He also wishes to undo any regulations made by the Obama Administration that burdens the economy.

He also alleges that Obama continues to depend on big government and social

spending programs to solve the country’s hardships.

He has described his ideal government as “smaller, smarter, simpler.”

Romney also appreciates firepower. He understands that defense is one of the ba-sic functions an industrialized nation must possess.

Romney states that Obama has failed in keeping order in the middle east, specifi-cally the Assad regime, which still terroriz-es the Syrian people.

However it is Romney’s domestic pol-icies that are most colorfully displayed to young voters.

He transitioned from once calling himself a “moderate” with “progressive” views, to acquiring some of the most so-cially conservative traits available.

One example is his desire to overturn Roe and outlaw abortion to “change hearts and minds.” Another is his adamant disap-proval of medical marijuana.

When asked a question regarding gun control laws, Romney said, “No new gun legislation. Enforce the existing ones.”

Romney appears to be a strong, fiscal-ly-conscious force, lover of reduced gov-ernment size and heavyweight opponent of taxes.

Obama on the other hand is the “moth-er” president.

He wants everyone taken care of: more social programs and equality for all. Obama truly wants to be America’s helping hand.

When choosing your candidate in this upcoming election, remember to ask your-self, “Who is going to do the least amount of damage?”

If education is a crime, then everyone on campus is guilty as charged.

Sociology Club, Puente, I.D.E.A.S. and Baha’i students co-sponsored the Educa-tion Under Fire event on Oct. 24.

About 40 people and local Baha’i com-munity members attended to learn and show their support.

Education Under Fire is a grassroots movement to raise awareness of Iran’s pol-icies that prevent members of the Baha’i faith from participating in higher educa-tion.

“The situation of the Baha’i community in Iran is very dire right now,” guest panel speaker Dr. Firuz Kazemzadeh, said. “Peo-ple ask if I am exaggerating or darkening the story to make my point. Unfortunately, I am not.”

The event included the screening of “Education Under Fire,” a 30-minute doc-umentary detailing the history of Baha’i persecution in Iran and a panel discussion with Dr. Kazemzadeh, Dr. Keyvan Geula and Iraj Kamalabadi, all Baha’i members dedicated to educating the public on the plight of Iranian Baha’is.

“We’re trying to bring awareness to hu-man rights violations in Iran,” said Mary Sullivan, business major, Baha’i student and co-host of the event. “We hope that by shedding light on this situation, we will put pressure on Iran to stop the persecution of Baha’is.”

The Baha’i faith was founded about 170 years ago in Iran. Its members have been

unwelcome in the country of its birth virtu-ally since its inception.

After the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the Iranian government enacted policies that prevented Baha’is from receiving a higher education and excluded them from most jobs. Iran also began the systematic persecution of the Baha’i people. Homes and businesses were destroyed. Baha’i faithful were imprisoned and tortured.

From 1980-1983, 200 people were ex-ecuted by the Iranian government because they were Baha’i. The youngest of their victims was Mona Mahmudnizhad, just 16 years old.

“I was 5 when Mona was executed,” Sullivan said. “I remember asking my mom why it happened. I didn’t understand how anyone could kill such a beautiful girl.”

Education is a central tenet of the Ba-ha’i faith. Members are instructed to edu-cate their children, regardless of gender.

In response to being shut out of higher education, Baha’i members and educators founded the Baha’i Institute for Higher Ed-ucation.

BIHE started out in homes and base-ments with students receiving instruction by correspondence. When mail became too risky, they resorted to couriers, who would have been imprisoned or worse if caught by Iranian authorities.

Eventually, the students began attend-ing classes in small apartments in Tehran. Some students in the film detailed having to borrow chairs from neighbors because there weren’t enough seats for all the stu-dents.

BIHE students were always careful to remain secretive about their education-al endeavors leaving classes in pairs five minutes apart so as not to raise suspicions.

Iranian officials have shut down the university several times over the years. In 2011, all the university campuses, which were mostly homes and some commercial spaces, were raided by authorities.

Materials were destroyed, books and computers were confiscated, teachers were arrested and students were brought in for questioning. A dozen educators were sen-tenced to four or five years in prison for the crime of education.

Attendees applauded loudly at the end of the film and submitted questions to the panel for discussion. There were so many questions that the panel could not get to all of them before the end of the event.

“Tell all your friends and everyone you know to go to educationunderfire.com and sign the petition,” Kamalabadi pleaded. “Imagine the difference it would make if 1 million or more people signed this pe-tition.”

Although UN Human Rights conven-tions are hard to enforce, the government

of Iran is sensitive to international pres-sure.

The supporters of the Education Under Fire campaign hope they can put enough pressure on the Iranian government to stop the persecution of the Baha’i people.

After the panel discussion Sullivan and Benson Holani, undecided major and co-host of the event, invited students to join the Baha’i club they are forming on cam-pus.

Monica Molina-Padilla, counselor and coordinator of Puente projects, was so moved by the event that she offered to be the faculty adviser of the club.

“I love my work and I love being here,” Molina-Padilla said, “I want to help stu-dents in any way I can.”

The Baha’i students were happy to be one step closer to chartering their club.

“We are forming the Baha’i club on campus in the spirit of friendship and uni-ty of different religious and ethnic back-grounds,” nursing major and Baha’i stu-dent Queen Brown said.

Women & Politics, a discussion panel touching base on women’s issues ranging from representation, reproduction and po-litical policies, was showcased to a packed house on Oct. 24 in CAA 211.

Presented by CC Fem, the feminist club on campus, and further driven by staff presenters Kate Lawson, Tim Arner, and Monica Carter, the discussion acted as a platform for comprehensive insight on the history of women’s issues and an image of the current state.

Contraceptive availability, abortion, salary imbalances, hiring practices and sex education were all weighed in on at the panel. However, representation of women in society, the stigma of the feminist label, reproduction and contraceptives were the emphases.

Coupling together statistics with the background behind them, professor Kate Lawson presented a PowerPoint focusing on stigmas toward feminist pursuits in the media. Examining concepts like the “Su-perwoman” ideology of women and its unattainability, in addition to Maxim Mag-azine’s famous cover depicting their “How to Cure a Feminist” headline, the reality of female empowerment or lack there of was dissected.

For instance, a woman will make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. These statistics change if you are African Ameri-can, to 62 cents for every dollar, or Hispan-ic, to 54 cents for every dollar.

Natalie Miranda, a correctional science major, said she recently learned about these figures in one of her sociology classes.

“It’s really disturbing to think that we as

women are standing here in our communi-ty college trying our hardest to advance,” she said.

She said that it is discouraging that “right now, despite how much schooling and how much experience or how much you sacrifice to obtain your goals, your de-gree, and that knowledge, there’s going to be a discrimination because of your gen-der.”

She believes there has to be something done to stop the discrimination.

“Equality needs to go across the board no matter your race, your gender, your sex-ual orientation, whatever,” she said.

Carter, a political science and women’s studies professor, brought to light a few points on the use of contraceptives through-out history. From the Ancient Greeks to the Ancient Chinese, back around to most civilizations across the map, the desire to regulate unwanted births has been docu-mented time and time again.

For some, drinking elixirs with animal testes or a dose of hot mercury were fitting concoctions to avoid unwanted pregnan-cies. Now, in a day and age of advanced scientific breakthroughs and some of the safest procedures for pregnancy regula-tion, the argument on a women’s right to safe contraceptives is still being debated.

Arner, a math professor, expressed his title as a proud male feminist, and opened the floor for thought and discussion pro-posing his own personal accounts, and in return, receiving the audience’s.

The Women & Politics discussion panel opened the discussion for enlightenment on women’s issues. Audience members were encouraged to make their voice heard by going to the polls on Nov. 6.

Students were reminded of Southern California’s history of earthquake disas-ters on Oct. 18 when Chaffey took part in The Great California Shakeout. At 10:18 a.m. students were informed by intercom that the drill would commence; after tak-ing cover under desks, all buildings were evacuated safely.

Debbie Jones, professional administra-tive assistant major, was in the child devel-opment center during the drill.

“We met in our general meeting area, counted everyone and then spent some time relaxing in the sun before going back

inside when the drill was called off and it was safe to return,” Jones said.

Students and faculty here were a small portion of the 9.4 million people that par-ticipated in California. More than 19.4 mil-lion people participated globally in 2012.

The importance of the drill cannot be overstated. The U.S. Geological Survey re-ports that an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.8 or greater is expected to devastate California within the next 30 years.

With the Rancho campus resting direct-ly above the intersection of the Cucamon-ga Fault and the Etiwanda Avenue Fault, preparation for an inevitable natural disas-ter is vital.

Disability Program and Services has been holding awareness events at all three campuses this month with vendors, univer-sity reps, speakers and presentations.

One person who presented at the Chi-no campus for the DPS awareness fair was English major Tommy Davila. Davila, who suffers from the chronic disease spina bifi -da, knows fi rst hand the help that DPS can offer.

“The priority registration, the ability to take more time on exams and the counsel-ing that DPS has offered has made it pos-sible for me to continue my education,” he said.

Davila, who has to take next semester off due to the continued surgeries he has to have, emphasized the importance of being able to have priority registration even after taking a few semesters off to recover from the surgeries.

Davila founded the United We Stand Club. The members were able to give in-formation about services, and the club aids various charities.

Those who know Davila know that he is not held back by being in a wheelchair.

“He is always messing around with us, joking about running over people’s toes when we are in crowded areas with his wheelchair,” Osmara Cortez, a friend of Davila, said.

The DPS Awareness Fair continued with information given at the Fontana Campus on Oct. 18 and at the Rancho Campus on Oct 25.

“I hope people use the resources that are being offered, as I have done for which I am thankful as it has made my long jour-ney less complicated,” Davila said.

Davila, who is known to always be at the Chino campus, can be seen rolling through his struggles with the confi dence he has gained through his struggle and with a smile on his face.

The Chemistry Club celebrated Mole Day in mad scientist fashion.

From setting money on fire to making putty, attendees were able to learn about chemistry in a non-traditional way.

“Chemistry is a lot like cooking,” bio-chemistry major Gabby Villicana said. “You just don’t lick the spoon or you will get sick. I learned that the hard way.”

On Oct. 23, or Mole Day to those in the know, the Chemistry Club presented Chem Demo Day in the campus quad. This year marked the 10th anniversary of Chem Demo Day.

A mole is a unit of measurement in chemistry, also known as Avogadro’s num-ber, which is 6.02 times 10 to the 23rd power. Mole Day is celebrated on Oct. 23 and was created as a way to generate inter-est in chemistry.

“The goal is to show chemistry is fun, not scary,” chemistry professor, Dr. Sari-wan Tjandra said. “We asked students to come and bring their friends and relatives.”

Some students came with their children. Biology major Anthony Murillo brought his 21-month old son.

“I thought it would be fun for him to come and see,” Murillo said. “He liked the putty and that there were so many other kids.”

The Child Development Center brought their preschool students to see the experi-ments. The children’s squeals of glee could be heard across the quad as biology major Whitley Huy created giant bubbles right before their eyes.

“It was really fun,” Huy said. “I didn’t think they would like it that much.”

The children could barely contain their excitement as they observed the chemistry experiments.

Their teachers were pleased that they were learning while having fun.

“Science develops their critical think-ing,” preschool teacher Tanya Condon

said. “You can see their brains moving.”Cultivating an interest in science at any

age is exactly what Tjandra hopes to ac-complish with each Chem Demo Day.

“Maybe one of those children will be-come a chemist,” he said with a smile.

Even the adults in attendance found that they enjoyed learning about chemistry.

“It was very cool. I liked the use of household items to get chemical reac-tions,” nursing major David Webster said. “If you can make education fun, it makes it easier to learn.”

“It’s very fun,” biology major Carolyn Bailey said, “Making slime was interest-ing.”

Chemistry club members, who are also students in Tjandra’s Organic Chemistry class, demonstrated a variety of different experiments to those in attendance. The experiments showed the many ways that chemistry is found at home and illustrated different scientific properties.

There was a jug filled with water and observers were invited to guess whether a can of diet coke and a can of regular coke would sink or float. The experiment high-lighted the concept of density. One of those two liquids is denser than the other.

Attendees were also able to stab a bal-loon with a skewer and were surprised to find that the balloon didn’t pop – most of the time – if pierced in just the right spots.

One student demonstrated the concept of combustion by coating a dollar bill in al-cohol and setting it on fire. Amazingly, the bill didn’t burn. The only thing that burned was the alcohol.

Attendees who could make a paper clip float in a bowl of water learned about sur-face tension and won a piece of candy.

There were many other experiments for students to observe including invisible ink, an egg being sucked into a flask and a demonstration of the effect of static elec-tricity on a stream of water.

One of the most popular tables was a station where attendees could make their

own putty to take home.“I just hope students get more interest-

ed in science,” clinical lab services major, Cristelle Villamena said. “Even though it’s challenging, it’s also really fun.”

The chemistry club members all seemed to be having a lot of fun and a genuine love of chemistry.

“I was going to tell a chemistry pun,

but was afraid there would be no reaction,” Villamena joked.

And more than just fun, there was re-sounding passion for chemistry and all that can be understood through it.

“I think it’s awesome because a lot of people think chemistry is hard and boring,” biology major Nicole Askander said, “so I hope this ignites a passion for chemistry.”

The message of the performance was the sex-charged club scene that is experienced by today’s youth. The sharp dance perfor-mance received a well-deserved applause as the two marched off stage to the beat in their leather ensembles.

“I liked Sex-Treme the most. It was re-ally good, had energy and a lot to say,”Eri-ca Allum, home economics major and first-time attendee to the dance showcase, said.

“The performances were beautifully

well done, smooth, energetic and a remark-able job was done in the performance as well as the choreography,” Michele Jen-kins, professor of dance, said. Jenkins su-pervised the students while they brought their inspirations to life.

This was the first year that the showcase featured technical lighting, which brought the choreography to life on a new level. Rather than having the lights continuous-ly illuminate the stage like the two prior years, the lights really brought the chore-ography and music even closer together.

Even in these tough economic times, there are still many good hearted people who give back to the community and play a helping hand in bettering the lives of chil-dren. One way of doing so is by inspiring children to become contributors to society and ultimately attend college and excel.

At Juniper Elementary School in Fon-tana, Chaffey students volunteered to help paint a mural for the children.

“I remember when I was a little girl and always wanted a mural at the school I attended. I remembered my uncle did the original mural at Crenshaw, and I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to do a mural like my uncle,” Alicia Hubbard, double

majoring in theater and psychology, said.Students volunteers had been waiting to

do something inspirational for the children and the opportunity was taken.

“I happened to be in ASCC office and saw the flier, signed up and waited three or four months to do this,” Krystal Pasco, fine arts major, said.

Chaffey alumnus and muralist Lori Lut-tig met with Principal Adele Thomas, and they decided it was imperative to connect the six pillar theme of the school to the mu-ral. They further decided to use the time-less theme of superheroes to represent the six pillars and started the process of paint-ing a mural on the school wall.

The six pillar values of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, caring, citizenship

and fairness are an ongoing theme at Juni-per to teach children about the importance of character and to practice it. Because the disciplinary actions are tied to the pillars, the volunteers are hopeful that the perma-nent reminder of the values will aid the character building of the children attend-ing Juniper.

Many of the children were ecstatic about the painting and were the volunteer audience while finishing the mural.

“Each of the child superheroes shown represents a value, so we’re trying to in-spire children to be good citizens of soci-ety,” volunteer Dulce Ibarra said.

Being a good person to society involves giving back to the community, and is why volunteers wanted to help, to be an exam-

ple to the children.“I hope children understand these are

values in life, and I’m glad mixes of chil-dren are portrayed so they can see the unity and them all working together,” Hubbard said. She and others hoped their efforts would inspire the children to give back to the community as well.

Overall, the mural was designed to in-spire and motivate children to excel, with the expectancy of one day attending col-lege.

Each classroom at Juniper is adopted by a college, thus providing a sense of unity that will surely stay with the children.

MARCO ROSALES

All over the United States October is the month when children and adults get ready to dress up as their favorite superhero, vil-lain or princess to go trick-or-treating, to a costume party, or to do something involv-ing being scared.

However, in other parts of the world October is a sacred month where instead of dressing up and getting candy, people cel-ebrate El Dia De Los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead. This is when they have the op-portunity to honor and respect loved ones that have recently died. Families often do this by serving a big meal and offering a “thank you” for everything that person had done.

“Mexico is really unique. There are many different kinds of ways to honor their dead,” said Armando Espinosa Prieto, proj-ect director of the Metamorfosis documen-tation. “A modern way to honor our dead is by painting our faces white as a symbol of death and even going to the graveyard and getting drunk alongside sharing laughs and memories with the dead.”

Prieto lives in Santa Fe, N.M., and is part of a non-profit organization that trav-els as far as the Andes Mountains to cap-ture and record these celebrations that have been going on as far back as the Roman Empire. He and teammate Graig Johnson gave a presentation Oct. 24 in Student Ac-tivities, sponsored by the Spanish Club.

“This originally came from the Romans making offerings, and even as far back to the Mayas even Aztecs where human sac-rifices were made for their gods,” Prieto said.

He hopes to cover and protect these ways by supplying the community with what has been learn to share and give back to its community.

During his travels to the Andes he met with members of a small town that contain seven villages and was governed by one person. In this village his group record-ed and noted everything that was going on. This first-hand experience offered a glimpse of the ways the people of Bolivia do these celebrations, and a better under-standing of why people do these things for their dead.

“The body of the deceased is very sa-cred and is and has been treated with great respect, where they make sure to bury their dead, and not let it rot away or be eaten by wild animals,” Johnson said. “Sometimes [they even] go to great lengths to unbury them for traditional reasons.”

Prieto and Johnson shared a video doc-umentary, “Todos Santos la Fiesta de las Almas, the Feast of the Souls.” The video project took two years to complete and of-fers a better understanding of this celebra-tion’s traditions and origins, including the “ripple effect.”

This is when two cultures combine. It was created through a ripple. “When the two cultures meet they have differences but soon blend,” Prieto said. “Then they combine and you’ll see the similarities (as sell as) differences which are easy to dis-tinguish.”

While in the village they noticed that honoring is not just a tradition but a neces-sity, because with it well-being and pros-perity will follow.

Flowers, candles and many feasts, de-

pending on a particular culture, are all part of the celebration. One celebration is known as the “feast of the flowers,” which is dedicated to the children. When one has died and “El Dia de Los Muertos” ap-proaches, preparation is crucial.

“Different cultures celebrate different ways to honor their dead, while prepara-tion may take weeks, the godparents of the deceased’s soul will be responsible for the decoration of the shrine, with candles, food (bread), flowers and with this the soul will lay and rest,” Prieto said. “And while this is happening, relatives get together which

make one another take care of each other, thus bringing well-being and prosperity, so as the dead moves on to the next life it will continue to look after its loved ones even long after it’s gone.”

Next up for Prieto and Johnson is a trip to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, then on to Chi-huahua, Zacatecas and Oaxaca to study the differences between the cultures of Mexico and those in Boliva.

The new project can be followed at http://www.metamorfosisdp.org/, along with more information about their organi-zation.

Day of The Dead, celebrated in more than one way

Muslims around the world celebrated “Eid-ul-Adha” (“Festival of Sacrifice”) on Oct. 26. It is the 2nd of two Eid’s muslims celebrate it is an Islamic festival to com-memorate the willingness of Ibrahim (also known as Abraham) to follow God’s com-mand to sacrifice his son Ismail.

The festival was celebrated on campus on Thursday, Oct.25 with henna tattooing, food and roses that each shared a beautiful message for students.

For those who are not familiar with Eid, the story of Ibrahim’s sacrifice explains that Eid-ul-Adha celebrates the occasion

when God appeared to Ibrahim in a dream and asked him to sacrifice his son Ismail, as an act of obedience to God. The devil tempted Ibrahim by saying he should dis-obey God and spare his son. As Ibrahim was about to kill his son, God stopped him and gave him a lamb to sacrifice instead.

Note: This story is also found in the Jewish Torah and the Christian Old Testa-ment (Genesis 22). Here, God asked Abra-ham to sacrifice his son Isaac, his son with Sarah. Ismail was his son with Hagar.

The celebration of Eid holds many fesi-tivites for all to partake. The celebration and tradition continues to live and be cele-brated by Muslims around the world.

Every year the administration comes together with members of the surrounding community for the Report to the Commu-nity.

The 13th annual Report to the Commu-nity was held on Oct. 16, at the DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton Hotel in Ontario. Notable guests included Ontario Mayor Paul Leon, Assemblyman Mike Morrell, President and Superintendent Dr. Henry Shannon, the Chaffey Governing Board, Chaffey College Foundation President Sue Ovitt and Fire Chief Marshall Hartwig.

The Report to the Community meeting is held to inform the seven communities that Chaffey serves — Chino, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland and Chino Hills — about how the college is progressing and benefiting the community.

“This event is a report to the community of the success Chaffey has been experienc-ing,” Director of Alumni Relations Nick Nazarian, said. “It helps showcase Chaffey and highlight specific programs.”

“Report to the Community is our report card,” Governing Board President Paul

Gomez said. “I think we did awesome.”“$83.3 million in income to the local

economy,” Gomez said to open the lun-cheon, “That is how much money Chaffey students have contributed to the local econ-omy through local good purchases and stu-dent spending.”

Gomez also highlighted the 56,000 transfers since 1995 and 15 K-12 partner-ships as some of the college’s accomplish-ments.

Math and English First, a program to help new students succeed in English and Mathematics in their first semester, was recognized in the presentation.

Fast Track courses were another success acknowledged. The accelerated courses saw higher retention, persistence and suc-cess rates among students enrolled in those sections.

The success centers continued to be rec-ognized as a model for academic and tutor-ing support.

Other programs highlighted in the pre-sentation included radiological technology, associate degree nursing, and dental assist-ing.

Auto tech and journalism students were also recognized for their achievements.

The Summer Electrical Internship and Training Partnership with California Steel Industry (CSI) were highlighted. The CSI internship allows students to gain work experience which is very important when trying to look for a job. Eleven students who entered the program all successfully completed it and were offered extended in-ternships as CSI.

Chaffey has been making efforts toward creating more sustainable campuses. Shan-non emphasized that “green jobs, [are] jobs of the future” and that it was important in “understanding the connection between economy, society and the environment.” Throughout all three campuses old light-ing has been replaced, which is expected to save the college $182,925 annually. A/C and pool boilers were also replaced to make the campuses more sustainable.

The event ended on a high note, as the school was graced with a generous dona-tion of $25,000 from Gary and Sue Ovitt to the college’s “Fund a Dream” Foundation, and Shannon light-heartedly challenged everyone to match their donation.

Sinister is a small, mean little horror film that reminds people that Halloween can still be scary. It’s successful in bringing terror and unease to the audience through a familiar, yet compelling narrative that ul-timately leaves the viewer cold as credits start and end the film.

In the realm of horror, it takes the sub-genres such as the haunted house, ghost, and found-footage films and creatively incorporates conventions from all three in service to the characters and their distress-ing story.

Sinister is one of those special horror films in which the characters would be-have familiarly to what audience mem-bers would think is the appropriate line of action. It’s so special that it cleverly and unnervingly reveals the grave error of said action and thought.

This isn’t a film about body counts, even though there it’s quite high for such a small film. It really makes you care for the affected family. Much has to be said about Ethan Hawke’s neurotic and shaken perfor-mance as a crime novelist who’s entangled in the mystery of his new home.

The sound design is especially fantastic. Whether it’s the sound of a projector whirl-ing film stock, a creaking floorboard, or a

well-timed scream, Sinister’s sound design immerses the viewer deeper into the film’s mystery, while audiences are nervously cringing from the sound’s dreadful reverb and volume.

Sinister is about a has-been crime-nov-elist Ellison Oswalt, played by Hawke, and how he moves into a house that he believes

will be the key to his comeback. The pre-vious family was found hung – minus the daughter – and Oswalt believes that there is more to the story than what news and po-lice reports claim. Upon finishing his move into the home, Oswalt finds a box labeled “Home Movies.” Inside he finds several 8mm film reels and a 8mm projector. Each

one starts with a different family enjoying some sort of leisurely activity before things cut to something dark and gruesome.

If there was anything to fault Sinister, it would be that the drive behind central mystery becomes quite weak after a certain point, as the horror elements take center stage until the end. But it does the horror stuff so well that one looks past small nar-rative questions, especially since the film answers said questions in the end.

Halloween – for the film’s target audi-ence – has become a loud, large event that celebrates the holiday through costume parties and theme-park attractions. It’s re-ally awesome to know that Sinister can still be a fun time at the cinema, while remind-ing audiences what the season is all about.

The Good: The Acting. Sound-Design. Creativity in combining multiple genres into a single, effective story.

The Bad: Pacing is loosely structured. Some jump scares are more assaulting, than actually scary.

The Weird: This film was written by a film critic by the name of C. Robert Cargill. It’s inspiring.

Overall: B+

A puppet Plato rapping to Immortal Technique, time traveling puppets and a monk monastery that founded hip-hop were what made up group presentations for Brandon Bernstein’s Music History 2A class on Oct. 16.

The groups were given the freedom to put together a presentation of their choos-ing, whether it be a puppet show, a story book, or a live play. Students would meet for an hour during each class session and worked together in producing their seg-ment.

“My favorite part would probably have to be the brainstorming and meeting with

the group,” Lily Galley, music major, said.Bernstein put total creative control in

the students’ hands, resulting in unique stories and presentations that reflected the students artistic expressions and effort.

Not only were the presentations edu-cational but they were entertaining, well presented and humorous. An example was Puppet Plato discussing music law with Aristotle and performing various types of music from the present that contradicted Plato’s thoughts on what music is or should be.

In another presentation, time-traveling puppets visited various important histori-cal figures from the past in a well-written script that broke the fourth wall at various

points during the presentation, making the audience laugh even more.

Other groups chose to make physical copies of children’s books, which they then read aloud to the audience.

The stories features Hayden, a boy who saw polyphonic music in his dream, Peter a boy who had the dream of becoming a troubadour, and a musical note that visited different periods of time where music his-tory was made.

Monks In Training, a Music Hit-Story, told the tale of a young monk named Mar-shall who brought hip-hop to the monas-tery that he was attending. The story had an intriguing plot that captivated the audience with humor and various pop-culture refer-

ences that kept the audience engaged.“I really enjoyed the narrating,” said

Galley, who was the narrator for Monks in Training. “I also liked how we just started rapping as a part of the story. It was really fun.”

The group was animated in the portray-al of the characters and deliverance of the dialogue.

This is one music history class that is anything but boring, a word too often used to describe a history course. Giving the stu-dents creative control over their projects shows that when students are given the opportunity to be creative with their work, they can combine creativity and history and produce art.

The Lady Panthers soccer team is burst-ing with talent this season and each play-er brings something different to the team. Gisselle is one such player.

“I love being a Panther,” she said. “I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions about this school, but I love all the classes and the environment.”

Valiente has been involved in soccer since the age eight. She started as a fi eld player for AYSO and did not begin playing as a goalie until her freshman year of high school. Her dad was the one who fi rst got her interested in the sport at a young age, and she has been playing ever since.

During high school she fell in love with musicals, and it has become one of her big dreams.“I love to act, so my dream would be to become an actress,” Valiente said.

During soccer season, to a void any confl ict, she does not take part in any the-atrical performance.

In the off season she is involved in per-formances at the Rialto Community Play-

house. Aside from being an actress, another

aspiration of hers is to do what any other student hopes to do: further her education and be able to attain a good career.

In addition she loves to help people with any problems they might be going through. This has lead her to major in sociology.

Valiente has many choices for transfer. She’s looking at Cal State Long Beach, Cal State San Bernardino and Arizona State University, which is where her father at-tended school.

When watching the games from the goal posts Valiente feels that it’s a great sight to see, especially when the fans come out to watch.

“When we play really well, it looks amazing,” Valiente said. “I love playing for them, and I would do it any day, everyday. It’s defi nitely fun.”

She would love to continue playing soccer as long as she can manage time be-tween school and playing the sport.

Valiente is currently in her second year on campus and encourages students to come out and support the team.

The intensity was high and competitive at the Sports Center during the Lady Pan-thers volleyball game Oct. 19.

Chaffey started the match energized and focused but Antelope Valley’s offensive play gave the Panthers problems.

Panthers came out in Panther Pride Pink jerseys in support of National Breast Can-cer Awareness Month.

The crowd was roaring as the teams came to the fl oor. Chaffey would take the early lead into the start of the game.

In the fi rst minutes of the fi rst match the visitors seemed to struggle defensively but they soon turned things around.

Minutes into the fi rst period Chaffey was ahead 19-15, until Antelope Valley turned up its offense.

The two teams battled back and forth with spikes, but the Marauders took the fi rst period 26-24.

“We lacked focused on defense and smart offense,” head coach Larry Chowen said. Leading into the second period the Panther’s defense wore down more and more.

Marauders went on a scoring rampage, going on a 7-4 run within the starting min-utes of the second period.

The Panthers women were able to hold the defense to some extent, scoring with blocks and saves.

Middle position Heather Griepsma had a few blocks and saves to help Chaffey stay

in the game. Ashanti Banks, also middle position,

was able to score with her defensive blocks and serves.

However, Antelope Valley did not slack off with the defense during the second pe-riod, which allowed them to win the frame, 25-12.

“They played better defense than we did.” Chowen said, “Once they took the fi rst game back from us, they were fi red up.”

Going into the third period the Panthers started serving fi rst. Antelope Valley’s de-fense was ready to answer with any offense the Panthers presented.

Marauders middle blocker Cherise Aus-tin made the fi rst point of the period with a block.

A few minutes into the third period the Marauders went on a 9-2 run and ended the match with another lopsided win, 25-11.

The Panthers defense started strong but through out the game became less and less productive.

“Poor for us, we played poorly,” Chow-en said. “We played a decent game, but Marauders got the job done.”

“We have another round with them so maybe we will make it up,” Chowen said. The Marauders played a solid game on both defensive and offensive play.

The Panthers fell short this match but the next match between the two teams should be interesting and may have a dif-ferent outcome.

Chaffey soccer star is still a child at heartPRISCILLA PORRAS

Larry Llamas was first put into soccer at the age of five when his father signed him up along with his brother Edgar.

Playing for AYSO and Cal South Leagues, Larry eventually made his way up into better leagues.

Now at age 21, Larry is the captain for the undefeated Panthers. But his college career didn’t start at Chaffey.

Larry first played at Mt. SAC, but when Edgar decided to play at Chaffey, Coach Ben Cooper decided to give the older Llamas a call. It was perfect timing since Larry wasn’t too pleased with the way the game was being played by the Mounties.

“At Mt. SAC, they played favorites,” Larry said. “Chaffey is more about skills, chemistry and teamwork.”

The move benefited Llamas — and the Panthers. The soccer team has clinched first place in the conference and are look-ing to take it all the way.

Before every game Larry does some soul-searching with upbeat music, prefer-ably techno, to keep his mind going and ready for the game.

And watching his diet is a thing of the past, and a happy stomach makes Larry a happy guy.

“I eat everything and anything,” he said. “Diets just aren’t my thing.”

While diets and routines don’t keep him going, the support he receives from his family does.

His mother and sister try to go to every

home game and stay up to date on how the season is going.

His brother and teammate Edgar has a different style of playing, making the field fun and not a competition.

For Larry, it isn’t all about soccer, ei-

ther. School is his other priority. With a major in criminal justice, life is all about time management.

“If I’m not doing something for school, then I’m getting ready for soccer practice or a soccer game,” Larry said.

With hardly any free time, Llamas tries to have a social life. He listens to music and hangs with his friends. Disneyland is Llamas’ favorite place to go, and he uses his annual pass as often as possible.

The future for Llamas is only going to get better. He plans to transfer Fall 2013 and the offers just keep coming in from 4-year schools such as Cal State San Bernardino, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Dominguez Hills. And he’s in talks with UC Riverside and UC Irvine.

His motivation is short, simple and to the point.

“I hate losing,” Larry said. “It’s good for the team to get a title and keep that streak going.”

Clinching first place in the Foothill Conference league is just the beginning, and Larry’s willingness to adapt will take him anywhere.

To root for Larry, Edgar and the rest of the men’s soccer team, head to the soccer field for their next game, Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 1 p.m.

KIMBERLY JOHNSONLarry Llamas, one of three soccer team captains, is in his second year on the Panther squad. He makes a move during practice on on Oct. 24.

First and ten, Panther eleven fall againSEVANNY CAMPOS

At the end of the fourth quarter the Pan-ther football team faced the reality: the team had fallen to 2-5 at home.

Despite maintaining possession of the ball throughout most the game the Chaffey Panther football team fell to the San Jacin-to Eagles 24-21 on Oct 20.

“No team wants to be 2-5,” Coach Beach said, “We could have won this game. Our kicking game was off and we dropped a few crucial passes. We have to be more consistent.”

Against San Jacinto, the Panthers had more rushing yards, 154-141, and a nine- point lead at half time with a field goal by Tavita Naeata and a touchdown by running back Kevin Coleman.

“We did a good job of holding the foot-ball and the tempo of the game during the first half,” Beach said. “It was an improve-ment from the last game.”

Throughout the second half the Eagles scored three touchdowns and a field goal to lead 24-9 with six minutes to play. In the last few minutes of the game the Panthers scored two touchdowns by wide receiver Tim Diaz and running back Alex Jefferies.

The Panthers are struggling with inju-ries and depth. It showed against San Ja-cinto. Starting kicker Erik Zamudio was out for the game with a sprained ankle. As a result the Panthers were one in four for kicks throughout the game.

Quarterback Dominic Barnett was in-jured in the fourth quarter bringing in backup QB Harrison Stewart, who was nursing a sprained ankle. Stewart had six passing attempts but failed to complete any of them.

“This game was an improvement of what we had been doing before, but the in-juries are really affecting us,” Beach said. “We are getting those players back and should be stronger.”

Before the start of the 2012 fall season, the football program changed divisions in an effort to be more competitive. Beach be-lieved that his team would have little trou-ble competing in the American Division Mountain Conference.

But that belief has not materialized.

The football team’s last win was a home game on Sept. 29 against Compton Col-lege. Not to discredit the win, but Comp-ton is currently 0-7 overall and 0-4 in their division.

The Panthers took down Compton ef-fortlessly, but they have not won a contest since.

“We have to adjust our team week by week. We don’t just have the same group of guys starting the whole season, espe-cially with all the injuries we have,” Beach said.

Injuries aren’t the only problems the team has to face. They are inexperienced with a lot of first time players. The foot-ball team has only three games left in the season.

The best the Panthers could do is win all three games, and the team is facing tough opponents in the last three weeks.

“Winning would be nice, but I expect us to improve our playing and play at a higher level,” Beach said.
