More parking spaces for CSUEB By Bryan Cordova MANAGING EDITOR

Back-to-back losses have the Cal State East Bay women’s water polo team in rough waters with just two games remaining in the regular season. The Pioneers are now 11-14 overall and 2-3 in Western Water Polo Association games after the 15-13 overtime loss to the UC San Diego Tritons at Pioneer Pool on Sunday. The Tritons improved to 16-17 overall and 3-0 in WWPA competition. The match was close the entire game and the Tritons led the Pioneers 3-2 after the first period and maintained a one-point advantage with an 8-7 halftime lead. CSUEB junior utility player Tori Dettloff led the way for the Pioneers with three of the goals in the first half while Triton junior attackers Julia Kirkland and Emma Sassoon both scored two goals in the first half. The game was tied at 10 after the third period and with 1:48 left in the match CSUEB senior from Newark Alyssa Hess rocketed a goal past UCSD goalkeeper Courtney Miller to give the Pioneers a 13-12 advantage. With just nine seconds remaining Kirkland found her Triton teammate junior attacker Laurel Kistler for the game-tying goal. UCSD went on to score two goals in overtime to close out the victory over the Pioneers 15-13. Kistler led the way for the Tritons with four goals on seven shot attempts and three assists. Kirkland led UCSD with five assists and added in three goals in the victory. “The final score was a tough one to accept but we played a great game and I am excited for the possibility of playing them again in the conference tournament,” Dettloff said. Detloff amassed a team-high five goals for CSUEB in the loss on 11 shots and Hess managed to net three goals on five shot attempts for the Pioneers.

Incident raises safety concerns

Campus Parking Enforcement plans to create more than 300 additional parking spaces by Fall 2015 to serve the predominantly commuter student body of California State University, East Bay. The grounds where Warren Hall stood will be flattened and converted to parking spaces, according to parking enforcement coordinator Derek Lobo. As many as 400 spaces will be split between two lots, for staff and general student parking. In 2011 the university reported a total of 4,552 parking spaces and 13,160 students. Parking Enforcement added 200 spaces in 2013, when the student body rose to 14,823. Parking officials have not yet released this year’s parking statistics. Construction crews are currently occupying roughly 100 spots next to the Student Services Building forcing staff to take some general parking spaces. The first week of every quarter parking enforcement gives a grace period so students have time to get a permit and not worry about getting a ticket. That grace period leads to more spaces being taken in the first week. After the first week students drop classes, attend less frequently, or find alternative routes to campus to avoid paying for permits. Despite the decrease in traffic flow students complain over the lack of spaces on campus. Even with the overflow lot, students struggle to find a space in time to make it to class. According to Lobo, parking lots may

Unable or unwilling to

disconnect

By Tiffany Jones EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Take a walk through campus, and you’ll see people talking on their phone, texting, tweeting, eyes glued to their phone instead of having a conversation with the person they are walking with. Think of the last party or kickback you went to. How many new people did you talk to? How many pictures did you take and edit on your phone? I too, am guilty of spending the time scrolling through my Twitter in between drinks. The last time you had a family dinner, or dinner with your friends, how much time was spent talking about what you saw on Facebook, what you saw on Twitter, or what you saw on Instagram? We, as a society, are unable to find a balance with our daily lives and social media. We are too reliant on our phones, our laptops, our iPads, and all of our other gadgets. We log onto social media just to present this idea of who we are, and how we live. We project who we want to be but in reality, this isn’t who we are. We often base our worth on how many likes our photo will get, and how many friends we have or how many followers we get. In January 2014, PEW Research Center conducted an Internet project and concluded that 74 percent of online

adults use social networking sites and 70 percent of those use Facebook at least daily. Imagine how that number has grown. We don’t live our lives because we are busy posting about it on social media. We type as we talk, and we read as we listen because we are afraid; we are afraid to relate with other people. How many times have you felt awkward walking alone, so you pull out your phone? How many times have you pulled out your phone simply to avoid making eye contact that might start a conversation? We hide behind social media and technology, so much that we have lost what true communication is and what it means to interact with one another. The network that we call social media is far from social. We don’t use social media to socialize, but to portray ourselves in a way that we think will get us likes and comments. Social media is teaching our society that emailing, texting, and messaging works the same as a face-to-face conversation. We are simply unable to focus on anything without involving social media.

“

“For the first time, roughly half of internet-using young adults ages 18-29 (53 percent) use Instagram. And half of all Instagram users (49 percent) use the site daily,” according to a Social Media Update conducted by PEW in 2014. Social media is more than a fad or a phase in our lives. It’s an addiction, and it has become our lives. Just imagine what you could do if you simply disconnected for a while. Take a walk, read a book. How much more could you accomplish if you didn’t spend 20 minutes here and 40 minutes there scrolling through Instagram? Would your dinner still taste good, if you didn’t Instagram it before you ate it?

look busy and may seem short in supply but that’s due to the overlap in class times for students. He recommends students arrive to campus on a certain schedule to avoid problems “On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday the best time to show up is 30 minutes before class because most are only an hour long so the turnover for spaces is way faster,” Lobo said. On Tuesday and Thursdays, classes tend to run for almost 2 hours. Students who try to arrive an hour beforehand have to wait longer due to classes still being in session and fewer students leaving frequently during that time. Lobo recommends students use lots L and N by the Carlos Bee loop. The lots contain roughly 300 spaces and students can walk to most locations on campus in 10 minutes from those lots. Students with valid permits are also allowed to park at University Village right across from Carlos Bee Drive. From there, students can take the Concord Campus shuttle to the RAW center, or rent a Zapster bike, both of which are paid for by parking fees. Parking permits, which cost $130 for students and between $45-130 for faculty and staff, in

addition to parking tickets, generate an estimated $3 million per year, Lobo explained. Parking permit funds go toward employee salaries, campus shuttles, new lot constructions and lot infrastructure, Lobo said. The long awaited plan for the parking garage now awaits approval from the state Superior Court to move forward, according to Lobo. A portion of transportation funds also help subsidize the cost of AC Transit service on campus. The shuttle services costs around $900,000 for the year, funded partially by Alameda County Transport Commission regal grants. From the grants, CSUEB received $95,000 this year, down from the $148,000 received in 2011. Transportation usage, or lack of, during peak hours largely determines the funds received each year, Lobo said. All staff, including University President Leroy Morishita and the Board of Directors, purchase parking permits. The Accessibility office can provide fee waivers for individuals who have DMV issued disability placards or on a case-bycase basis for those reported by financial aid as eligible based on their personal income.

Online college provides access to nontraditional students

PHOTOS BY MO. J.B. FORBES/ ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

Teacher Sarah K. Powell answers questions from seventh graders in her Earth Science class on Monday afternoon, March 16, 2015, at Northwest Valley Middle School in House Springs.

By Koran Addo

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Two years ago, it might have seemed strange when Gov. Jay Nixon starting pushing for Missouri to create its own branch of Western Governors University. After all, WGU is a bit of an oddity. It’s a nonprofit online university that doesn’t use teachers. Students work at their own pace and are assigned course mentors who offer tutoring, advice or pep talks as needed. Students can also skip large sections of the curriculum if they can demonstrate command of the subject. After two years and a state investment of $4 million, WGU-Missouri leaders say the school is doing what it’s supposed to do: providing access to students who don’t fit the mold of a traditional student. Students, they say, are earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees more quickly and for less money. However, skeptics say the WGU model cheats students out of the one-on-one interactions between teachers and students that typically drive the learning process. There’s also concern that the idea of quicker and cheaper degrees could entice students who aren’t disciplined enough to be successful in WGU’s hands-off approach. Sarah Powell, 39, is perhaps the prototypical WGU student. She had an associate’s degree in veterinary technology from Jefferson College that she wasn’t using. Later, as a stay-at-home mother caring for her three children, she opened a day care center at her house. “I was working 14- to 16-hour days taking care of other people’s kids, and I just finally decided I wanted something more,” she said. Powell eventually enrolled in WGU, earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in teaching in a little

over three years. Powell said she liked WGU’s competency-based model, where instead of the traditional A-F grading system, students pass or fail. “Either you know it or you don’t,” Powell said. “If you are struggling on your assignments, you redo them. They don’t allow you to get by. You have to pass with the equivalent of what would be a B grade.” Powell is now a seventh-grade science teacher at Valley Middle School in the Northwest School District in House Springs. Powell graduated from the national WGU before Missouri started its own chapter. Missouri’s version has 1,400 students enrolled and has graduated just under 550 students in two years of operation. A recent Harris Interactive survey of new graduates found that 82 percent of WGU graduates were employed full time, compared with the national average of 77 percent. A Gallup-Purdue survey of students who graduated in the past five years, showed that WGU students were more likely to self-report as engaged and thriving in their jobs than graduates of other schools. Matching productive people with jobs they can thrive in follows one of the loftier goals in higher education circles: putting a dent in the estimated 36 million Americans who’ve completed some college but didn’t earn a degree. “We are doing what we were created to do,” said Angie Besendorfer, WGU-Missouri’s chancellor. Dedicated students, she said, can earn a degree 30 percent more quickly and for half the cost of students enrolled at a traditional four-year university. Rather than offering semesters, WGU is organized into six-month periods, each costing roughly $3,000. Students can take as many classes as they can handle in each period. But a Washington State study of more

than 50,000 students found that those who enrolled in online courses were more likely to fail or drop out of school than students who enrolled on brickand-mortar campuses. A Columbia University study found similar results. Both studies dealt with community college students, but the logic translates to four-year schools: Significant numbers of students require a strong connection with their teachers to succeed. Besendorfer said she didn’t put too much stock in critics who say WGU students miss out on one-on-one interactions with instructors. Students read course materials, watch Web videos and turn in assignments, much like traditional students do. Besendorfer said students who had a good grasp of a course could test out of a course immediately by passing an exam, writing a paper or completing a project demonstrating their knowledge of the subject. Students who struggle can lean on course mentors for one-on-one tutoring, she said. “This model has been around for a long time,” she said, and has been successful. WGU was founded in 1997 by 19 sitting governors. So far, WGU has enrolled more than 55,000 students, with an average age of 36. With its origins as an economic development engine, WGU isn’t the place to earn a liberal arts degree. Instead, the focus is narrowed to a number of key areas: information technology, business, teaching and health. WGU is based in Utah, but so far five states have created their own offshoots. Some _ including Missouri’s _ were started with taxpayer money, but each one supports itself through tuition and private donations. WGU-Missouri got started with a $4 million community development block grant from the state to help with startup costs. Because Missouri created an affiliate of the national university, WGU spends more marketing dollars here than in other states, WGU officials

said. Nixon has appeared in television ads touting the benefits of WGU-Missouri. As an online-only school, WGU competes with schools such as Kaplan University and the University of Phoenix. But unlike many of its competitors, WGU is a nonprofit. Even so, Chief Executive Officer Robert Mendenhall earns more than $600,000 a year. Rusty Monhollon, assistant commissioner for academic affairs with the Missouri Department of Higher Education, said two years

“

wasn’t enough time to assess how well WGU-Missouri was doing. As WGU-Missouri produces more data, the school will ultimately be judged on how well its graduates perform on standardized tests, licensing exams and other precursors to employment, he said. “Ultimately, the purpose of any institution is to help students learn and to get students to be successful,” Monhollon said. “The competency-based model is a proven way for some students to achieve that.”

‘Dedicated students’, she said, can earn a degree 30 percent more quickly and for half the cost of students enrolled at a traditional four-year university —Angie Besendorfer

The Hayward Highlight Hayward sales tax increases to 10 percent

By Shannon Stroud METRO EDITOR As of April 1 the sales tax increased by .5 percent across Alameda county, which made Hayward one of the cities in Bay Area with the highest sales tax rates at 10 percent. “The tax increase is actually a county increase and not just Hayward specifically. The reason people are turning to Hayward is because we have a slightly higher base, a few other cities were also at a 9.5 sales tax rate as well,” said Frank Holland, Community and Media Relation Officer for the City of Hayward.

The .5 increase was a result of voter approval on Measure BB during the November ballot.Measure BB implemented a 30-year Transportation Expenditure Plan, which will expire in 2045. The measure will use the increased sales tax to maintain and improve public transportation in Alameda County.

According to Measure BB’s 30-year proposed plan, the tax increase will finance $7.8 billion in spending intended for public transportation and infrastructure in the county. The two largest portions of the spending will consist of $3.7 billion for public transit and Paratransit and $2.34 billion

for street repair throughout the county. An additional $400 million of the spending is designated for BART extension to Livermore. Measure BB required two thirds of voter approval to pass and did so with 70.76 percent of the vote, according to the Measure BB ballot.

The reason people are turning to Hayward is because we have a slightly higher base, a few other cities were also at a 9.5 sales tax rate as well

Although all of Alameda County has been affected by the sales tax increase the city of Hayward, along with Union City, San Leandro, and Albany, all hit double digit tax rates with the increase in the East Bay. According to the California Board of Equalization, Hayward is one of the few cities in California that has reached a 10 percent sales tax; other cities include South Gate, Pico Rivera located in Los Angeles and El Cerrito in Contra Costa. “I’m frustrated, I didn’t vote for an increase [in sales tax],” said Leena Howard-Vu, a Hayward resident. “It’s like, I already pay enough for groceries and meals, and they just keep adding more to that bill.”

THE PIONEER

Letter from an Editor January 29, 1998 If I Said That I Had An Affair with President Bill Clinton, Would You Believe Me? Would you believe that I am willing to sell my story to the world for a pretty price? People love to get their claws into a powerful person like the president. What better way to do this than with a sex scandal? These days it brings for-

tune and fame to those who claim, and pain humiliation to those who are accused of wrongdoing. Even if the allegations are never proven to be true. We need to consider why we care about the president’s personal misguidances so deeply. Bill Clinton is a hard working guy from Arkansas. Who is trying to run our country as best he can. If the sexgate allegations are true, his family is the one who is really hurt, not us. I do agree that a sex scandal presents a bad image for our country, but I suggest you consider that this image is largely caused by our beloved media. The US media is known to enjoy this power game.

During the 1987 media feeding frenzy now known as the Iran Contra affair, Ben Bradlee, the executive editor of The Washington Post, told a friend, “This is the most fun we’ve had since Watergate.” Bradlee had Ronald Reagan in his sights and the Post was doing its best to bring him down as they had brought down Richard Nixon. I guess it’s Clinton’s turn. Are we as a nation concerned with important issues? Or are we so caught up with the search for our leaders’ dirty laundry that we have forgotten what the real issues are. I watched the state of the union address and listened to the president talk

about what matters: education, Social Security, childcare Funding, investing in our cities, protecting the environment, and other topics crucial to our well being as a nation. Does it bother me if the president cheats on his wife? Yes. But what really embarrasses me is the way our media handles the situation. A Dutch television magazine is in Washington reporting on the media circus centered around this whole affair. That’s embarrassing. This man, our president, has done many good things for our country. · The strongest economy in a generation

· Violent crime down five years straight · Welfare rolls down by 4.3 million people · Cut the deficit by more than 90% - Brought unemployment to its lowest in 2 decsdes And most importantly the first balanced budget in a generation. Was Bill Clinton hired as a role model for the country, or president? I feel we should not praise anyone for committing indecent acts such as adultery, whether they are in the public eye or not. I also feel that we as a nation let the importance of other “real issues” get clouded by our need to gossip.

The stitches a blue dress left on United States history By Bryan Cordova Managing Editor

“Mommy made a big mistake” turned out to be the understatement of the 20th Century. In 1998, when people spoke about a blue dress it wasn’t about the color it may be, but the story it told: the Lewinsky Scandal. The affair between Monica Lewinsky and President Bill Clinton led to his impeachment by the U.S. House of Representatives, a woman gaining world fame, and a stain on U.S. history. Nearing two decades, the scandal continues to be part of our media. The people involved still cannot escape the story; it lingers behind them in everything they do. A portrait of former president Clinton was placed in the in the

Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC in 2006. Just last month the artist Nelson Shanks revealed to the Philadelphia Daily News that the shadow was made to symbolize the blue dress. The accomplishments he made in office addressed in the previous letter have all become overshadowed by the sex scandal. At the time of the scandal, his wife Hillary Clinton faced both praise and criticism for the way she handled it. Some media accused her of staying with her husband as a push for her own political career. Despite the public scrutiny of her husband and marriage, she showed no signs of slowing down in her political pursuit. Hillary was senator of New York for nearly a decade, ran for president in 2008, and was Secretary of State from

2009 until 2013. She is now anticipated to run for the presidency again in 2016. Through the growth of her political career, she paved her public image away from her husband’s affair but the same can’t be said for Monica Lewinsky, who still can’t escape the public humiliation. Lewinsky garnered worldwide fame. She was on SNL, the cover of Time Magazine, and started a clothing line in the years to follow. She left the U.S. in 2005 and earned a master’s in social psychology from the London School of Economics, and attempted to escape from the public for nearly a decade. Despite her escape, her name was still used in pop culture. Beyonce’s 2014 single Partition references her in the lyrics “He Monica Lewinski’d all on my gown.” After returning to the states, she wrote an article for Vanity Fair last year

and regained public interest. In her article “Shame and Survival” she discussed the public scrutiny she faces. She says the public humiliation following the scandal has changed the direction of her life. Lewinsky talks about how she struggled to gain jobs due to her affiliation with the scandal, for not being the proper image of any company she applied to. Since the article she has become a spokesperson for cyber bullying. Last month she gave a TED talk about online public shaming that received wide acclaim. She spoke on the state of the Internet, and that online public shaming has become a dangerous way society humiliates each other. She claimed that the anonymity of the Internet makes it easier for people to say whatever they want without restrictions.

Lewinsky said she was humiliated having the transcripts of her taped phone calls and audiotapes aired on TV and online. She stated this type of public humiliation is happening to teenagers and celebrities every day. “Public shaming as a blood sport has to stop,” said Monica Lewinsky. “I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously.” The Lewinsky Scandal, despite happening nearly two decades ago still affects our media and society today. Instead of being about the affair, it’s grown into the debate on cyber bullying and public humiliation, and is slowly hiding in the shadows of both Hillary Clinton and Monica Lewinsky’s career. In the words of Lewinsky “It’s time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress.”

East Bay wildlife scorched by the drought By Shannon Stroud METRO EDITOR

As California’s drought enters its fourth year and citizens scramble to meet the demands of Governor Jerry Brown’s statewide water restrictions, wildlife experts say the natural habitats of Bay Area wild animals are also at high risk, in ways that could adversely affect residents. As food and water supply for Bay Area animals diminish, those animals will likely begin moving more into urban areas to find the resources they need, according to Wendy Winstead, recreation coordinator for the Sulfur Creek Nature Center, a wildlife rehabilitation center in Hayward. “Because of the drought, trees aren’t receiving enough water or rainfall to produce berries and acorns, which eliminates a food source for small rodents,” Winstead said. “Animals are scavengers, so they will go where there’s food, so we may see an increase of small animals in urban settings look for food as the drought continues.” January was one of the driest winters on record in the Bay Area, according to the National Weather Service. California’s freshwater relies heavily on runoff from different mountain ranges, which is essential for residents and wildlife, and the drought has drastically affected freshwater sources. “If the fresh water source goes, then everything that lives in the bay will die,” said Linden Rayton, naturalist at the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center. “The birds that eat the fish, the foxes that eat the birds, and the larger animals that eat the foxes.” As of April 1, the Sierra Nevada snowpack was at a record low, according to the California Department of Water Resources. An early-April snowpack measurement determined that the snowpack water content stood at 1.4 inches: extremely far below the normal 28-inch average. The State Water Resources Control Board announced their preliminary recommendations Tuesday for meeting Gov. Brown’s restriction, including a 20 percent cut in water usage from the Alameda County Water District and a 10 percent cut in water usage in Hayward, according to the New York Times. Both Rayton and Winstead explained as the drought persists, there are several animals right here in the East Bay that will have to find new homes where there is a larger water source or they might go extinct to the area. They explained currently, the following list of animals has already started to experience the effect of the drought.

Birds As the fish supply dwindles, Rayton explained that predatory birds have a limited food supply as well. “As the fresh water sources start to be eliminated, so does the food supply for predatory birds like Eagles,” said Rayton.

Foxes Foxes are scavengers, and will eat birds, rodents, fish, and plants. As the bird population starts to drop because of the limited fish to eat, so does dinner for the Gray Fox that lives in Coyote Hills, explained Rayton. Foxes are on pest control, without them who’s going to take care of the rodents?

Sharks The leopard shark lives in saltwater, and when spring showers hit, the leopard shark leaves the bay for saltier waters. Rayton explained that, because of the lack of rain this spring leopard sharks have stuck around. Without spring migration, the animals they prey on haven’t had the opportunity to repopulate.

Newts/Salamanders Newts and Salamanders live in ponds, but as the hot weather hit the ponds in the East Bay have started to dry up, explained Winsted. “Newts and salamanders homes are drying up, but because they are so small it’s too big of a move for them to find new water to live in. In the process of moving, the amphibians die,” said Winsted.

Pond Turtles Western Pond turtles are also losing their homes, explained Winsted. Pond turtles aren’t fast enough to get to a new pond to live, so the turtle dies on the way to finding a new home. Ponds provide these turtles a place of protection, without their pond to protect them they become victims of prey.

Barn Owls Winsted explained that the drought has made it difficult for smaller rodents to survive. Because of this the barn owl population has decreased in the East Bay. “Places that were once heavily populated with barn owls are no longer. We can only assume that they have moved on to areas where they are able to find more food,” said Winsted.

Fish Rayton explained that fish within the delta have suffered because of the lack of freshwater. The delta is a mixture of freshwater and saltwater, but because of minimal rains the salt water levels have increased making it difficult for fish to live. The delta is the home to different fish such as: salmon, bass, trout, sturgeon and smelt.

Crosswalks prove deadly in Hayward By Louis LaVenture

SPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITOR Dominic Williams knows all too well just how dangerous the crosswalks along Tennyson Road near the Interstate 880 on and off ramps are in Hayward. Six years ago, Williams was hit by a car while walking his bike in the crosswalk on the Interstate 880 North exit on Tennyson Road. The crosswalk is directly across the street from the crosswalk that Denesha Marshay Turner was in when she was struck and killed while pushing her 11-month-old son’s stroller last month. “I can only thank God that the guy who hit me saw me before it was too late,” Williams said. “My bike got more messed up than I did, just a few bruises.” Williams was lucky, Turner and her son were not. Turner was pronounced brain dead on March 22 and taken off life support on March 25, dying just a week after the accident, according to her parents. Her son is still in critical condition at Children’s Hospital in Oakland. The driver, a 22-year-old woman in an SUV stopped after she struck Turner and her son and was fully cooperative with authorities. They ruled out drugs or alcohol as a contributing factor in the accident. There are no plans as of yet to make changes to these pedestrian crosswalks on Tennyson Road, according to the California Highway Patrol. The eight crosswalks in Hayward are just an example of the dangers that pedestrians face while walking on the interstate walkways. According to a Hayward Police Department representative, “We [HPD] do share those crosswalks with the California Highway Patrol. We responded to that specific case initially but we turned that over to CHP.” The CHP puts out an annual Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System report that gives detailed accounts of incidents involving all vehicle accidents including those that involve pedestrians. According to their most recent report from 2012, there was just one fatal incident involving a pedestrian in Hayward out of 60 total incidents that involved pedestrians being hit by vehicles. Many neighbors voiced their concern about the crosswalks on Tennyson Road to local leaders as recent as 2013. Hayward resident Maria Villegas lives on Biscayne Avenue in Hayward, directly adjacent to the Interstate 880 Southbound exit on Tennyson Road, and says she has heard and seen such incidents.

Hayward residents notice unsafe conditions for pedestrians “I have lived here for years and we hear accidents all the time. We used to go in the backyard and look over the fence but they happen all the time so

we’re kinda used to them,” Villegas said. “People get hit there a lot too but not many die like that poor girl. My neighbor complained to City Hall a few years back but nothing ever happened, and look now what happened to that girl and her baby.” Since the crosswalks are technically on the Interstate, CHP takes jurisdiction over incidents in those specific portions of the crosswalks, which according to the HPD creates a “confusing” situation at times when it comes to jurisdiction. When Turner was hit around 7 p.m. the light directly above the crosswalk was not working and is still not working as of publication. “I walk to and from school every day and I never see this damn light on,” Chabot College student Miguel Acevedo said, before crossing the street where Turner was struck with her son. “I guess I take my life into my own hands eight times a day on these parts.” Turner was doing her normal routine of taking her son to the Weekes Park Hayward Branch Library on Patrick Avenue near Tennyson Road, where she would read to him. She lived in an apartment complex near the library according to her parents. “Look, the light is still out,” Villegas said, as she pointed to the light above the crosswalk and memorial for Turner from her backyard. “That girl dies and look, they don’t even fix the light. Maybe [the driver] couldn’t see her.”

Water Polo From Page 1 “I think a huge positive for us was that we used our versatility. We have a very deep bench and no matter what UCSD threw at us we had the manpower and the skills to answer them,” Dettloff said. “When we played 6 on 6 water polo we were unstoppable. I think one thing that led to the loss was how many times we were ejected. UC San Diego scored most of their goals off of power plays.” Dettloff now has 24 goals this season

for CSUEB, which is a distant second behind team-leader junior Taylor Cross who has 40 this season. Cross added to her team-high with two goals on five shots in the loss to the Tritons. “That was a great game. I am so proud of the way we played,” CSUEB Head Coach Lisa Cooper said. “Unfortunately we didn’t come away with the win, but we know we are right there with [UC San Diego].” Tritons goalkeeper Miller has had a

stellar season for UCSD and nine saves in the win. CSUEB goalkeeper Marrina Nation also recorded nine saves while both went the distance and played 38 minutes in the overtime battle. “I am so proud of our goalkeeper Courtney,” UCSD Head Coach Brad Kreutzkamp said. “She became our all-time save leader this season and I couldn’t be prouder for such a hard worker.” CSUEB Goalkeepers Coach Jayme

Pekarske knows that the goalkeeping will have to improve and Nation has saved 184 goals this season while allowing 196. “Clear, open, and concise communication with your teammates and coaches is necessary,” CSUEB Goalkeepers Coach Pekarske said. “Communication sets a foundation of trust. Trust is the backbone of all relationships and is vital for success.” The Pioneers have just two regular season games remaining this weekend

before the WWPA Championships begin on April 24 in Ohio. CSUEB will travel to Rohnert Park on Friday to take on the Sonoma State Seawolves at 2 p.m. and then return home on Saturday to face the CSU Bakersfield Roadrunners at 3 p.m. in the regular season finale at Pioneer Pool. The Seawolves are 7-17 overall this season and have lost their last five games in a row while the Roadrunners are 12-13 overall and have lost six of their last eight contests.

Pioneer of the Week: Tori Dettloff

In the beginning of the season I was timid and I didn’t trust myself to execute the skills we have worked on, which led to me not being an offensive threat. It is still a work in progress, but I can definitely feel the difference now that I am focusing on my confidence -CSUEB junior Tori Dettloff

By Louis LaVenture

SPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITOR Despite her team suffering back-to-back losses, Cal State East Bay women’s water polo junior utility player Tori Dettloff is the Pioneer of the Week. Dettloff scored six goals on 14 shots in two close losses this past week, which helped keep the Pioneers close in both games. Dettloff scored once on three shots in an 8-5 loss to Cal State Monterey Bay in Seaside last week and then scored five times on 11 shot attempts in a 15-13 loss to UC San Diego on Sunday at Pioneer Pool in Hayward. “She got a lot of shots off and kept me guessing a little bit,” UC San Diego goalkeeper and the school’s all-time save leader Courtney Miller said. Dettloff was named the Western Water Polo Association player of the week last week after she scored in all four of her team’s contests for a conference-high of seven goals and

11 assists. Dettloff scored two game-winning goals first against Chapman in a 6-5 win and then against Concordia-Irvine in a 12-11 victory. Both goals came with less than two minutes to play in the matches. “Towards the end of the Concordia game, we had set up on offense but the play we ran was unsuccessful. Near the end of our shot clock I received a pass and I heard my coach, Lisa, yelling from the bench that I should shoot the ball,” Dettloff said. “I shot at the middle of the cage, and a Concordia player field blocked the ball and redirected it over the goalie’s head and into the cage.” This season Dettloff has amassed 24 goals on 73 shot attempts for a .329 shot percentage, 30 steals and 14 assists in 25 games played. She is second on the team in goals, second in steals, and fourth in shot attempts. The Pioneers are 11-14 this season with just two regular season games remaining before the WWPA championships begin on April 24 in Geneva, Ohio.

“In the beginning of the season I was timid and I didn’t trust myself to execute the skills we have worked on, which led to me not being an offensive threat,” Dettloff said. “It is still a work in progress, but I can definitely feel the difference now that I am focusing on my confidence.” A transfer student from San Joaquin Delta College, Dettloff was named to the All Big 8 Conference team and All NorCal team twice during her time in Stockton. Dettloff graduated from Lodi High School in Lodi in 2012 where she earned first team all-league honors in her senior season and was named to the honor roll in all four years during high school. She played for two club teams, the first of which was the Lodi Water Polo Club and she was a member of the Big Valley Water Polo Academy in Lodi. She said she chose to attend CSUEB because, “its good Biology program, we’re close to the beach and the city, and red and black are the best colors.”
