Ceremony awards success BY SAMMY FERNANDES FREELANCE CONTRIBUTOR SFERNANDES@CCCLARION.COM

Families, staff and professors from all departments came together to celebrate distinguished Citrus College students in the Haugh Performing Arts Center. The 56th Annual Achievement Awards Ceremony on May 30 awarded one female and male Athlete of the Year, 10 Key of Knowledge students, two Service Leaders of the Year and 100 Distinguished Student awards, out of a student body of nearly 20,000. The ceremony began when John Vaughan, dean of visual and performing arts, introduced Superintendent/President Geraldine M. Perri, who made a speech welcoming everybody in the ceremony and thanking the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff and families for supporting students and make it possible for them to achieve success. “This event is one of my favorite ones of the year since it’s all about recognition and celebration,” Perri said. “It validates that the mission of Citrus College is being met.” Josh Caston, male athlete of the year, was introduced by the men’s basketball coach Brett Lauer, who shared a bit of his story.

Center OPENED ON TIME BY VICMAN THOME STAFF REPORTER

VTHOME@CCCLARION.COM

In the May 22 issue of the Citrus College Clarion, in the article “Campus Center Reopens Late After Over Budget” there were a few gross factual errors. The Ross L. Handy Campus Center was not over budget. In fact, as a whole, the project was under budget. The change orders that were written, proposed then passed by the Board of Trustees were made within the original budget of the project. That original budget was not made readily public within the Board of Trustees agendas. As of May 22, the original project seems to be $393,000 under budget, and that is without all of the

invoices being paid. There seems to be a preliminary estimate that places the whole project over $1 million under budget. The second error was that the Campus Center was not late. Fred Diamond, the Maintenance and Facilities director for Citrus College, said in an email statement, the remodeling project was 180 days under deadline. The extra days that were requested were part of an agreement with the contractor. The extension that was requested was due to many unforeseen circumstances. Diamond said an example of these was exchanging an electrical switchgear that required a campus wide power shutdown. S E E CEN T ER • PAGE 5

wähfles hams it up with savory sandwich La Verne restaurant adds a vaulted breaded twist to the layered lunch dish BY JERICK PALACIO STAFF REPORTER

JPALACIO@CCCLARION.COM

If looking for a warm and welcoming atmosphere with quality food and approachable staff, Wähfles is an experience that is time-worthy. Upon walking in, the dim lights, maroon and wood panel walls and relaxing music immediately provide serenity. Walls covered with paintings constantly gives the eye something to look at with couches to keep comfortable. The couches can be used to dine or sit tight while waiting for food to take home. Next to the couches lies a bookshelf, for those who would rather read than to look at the artwork. The wood panel walls and tables complement the maroon walls and gray tiles to give the place a modern cabin feel when inside. The restraunt’s decor is not its only pleasing quality. Wähfles serves coffee, espresso, house-made ice teas and fresh lemonades. Two types of waffles, sweet waffles and rosemary waffle sandwiches, are on the menu, which contains over 20 choices of waffles in total. The owner, Jeff Rotondo, is knowledgeable about the menu and goes out of his way to converse and

connect with his customers. After Rotondo‘s descriptions of ingredients and flavor profile on the menu, choosing among over 20 waffles became effortless. The Wilbur is presented with a waffle cut diagonally with coleslaw on the side. The smell of ham, cheese, bacon, and the honey mustard sauce intertwined was mouthwatering. The compactness of all of the ingredients made it easy to eat without anything slipping out while taking a bite. Ham and bacon with the Swiss and sharp cheddar cheese fill each bite, with the honey mustard sauce making completing the composition. Although all of these ingredients made the waffle a bit greasy, the taste was savory. Eating the waffle is simple and satisfying as each bite easily melted in my mouth. The raspberry lemonade refreshed and satiated. People with a sweet tooth can easily fall in love with this drink. Wähfles is a restaurant that deserves to be experienced and revisited. Eaters can savor both the space and its flavors. Wähfles’ address is 1502 Foothill Blvd, La Verne, CA 91750.

Maria’s: A Glendora staple perseveres in a crowded field

“

Established eatery offers affordability and filling lunch combo platters

Despite the underwhelming shredded chicken, the burrito special alone is worth a visit to Maria’s.”

BY TIMOTHY PETERSEN STAFF REPORTER

TPETERSEN@CCCLARION.COM

With Mexican cuisine ingrained in L.A. culture, there is a multitude of restaurants for potential customers to choose from. To survive, Mexican restaurants need to draw in customers with options at almost every street corner. Maria’s Mexican Restaurant in Glendora must be doing something right because it has been a part of the community since 1967. Sitting at the corner of Foothill Boulevard and Grand Avenue, Maria’s is about one mile east of Citrus College. The 50-year-old establishment recently went through major renovations. With the adjacent Starbucks moving shop, ownership leased out the neighboring space, knocked down a few walls and expanded their footprint. With the theme of a Mexican cantina, the new bar area greets customers as they enter the front door. Directly to the left on the way to the main dining area, customers are also welcomed to a view of the kitchen. Huge pots of pinto beans were being slow cooked. Fresh vegetables were chopped and orders wererushed to their tables. Maria’s ownership is not afraid to let customers get a glimpse behind their kitchen doors. Of course, none of this matters if the food is subpar. And while a couple of items on

the menu that disappoint, Maria’s makes up for it in other areas to warrant a visit. There are no surprises hiding in Maria’s menu. It consists of traditional Mexican dishes like enchiladas, burritos and tacos. The average cost of a combination plate is about $10. Its a la carte menu has the most affordable

options. For instance, the meat and bean burrito only costs $3.05, but this minimalist burrito lacks in a couple of areas. Customers can choose between beef, shredded chicken and chile verde. As far as other ingredients go, only two are present, just meat and beans. Those opting for shredded

chicken should know that their jaws are in for a workout. While not as dry as beef jerky, the chicken is comparable in its leather-like texture. The chicken is also bland — making it perfect for those who are sensitive to sodium. There seems to be none incorporated into the meat. With the beans having some actual flavor, the

shredded chicken just turns into a chewy clump of flavorless mass. Fortunately, the burrito special brings the complexity that is lacking in its smaller brother. The only thing these two burritos have in common is the flour tortillas that hold them together. At about three times the size and twice the cost, the burrito special is stuffed with carne asada, guacamole, rice and refried beans. Unlike the shredded chicken, the carne asada has the perfect balance of savory with a hint of sweetness. This time around, the meat is tender and soft. While the carne asada is no filet mignon, the tender meat is an improvement from the chicken. All of the ingredients blend well: the creaminess of the guacamole tames the savory meat. The Spanish rice sprinkles in a dash of tomato sauce. And the beans, well, taste like beans. Nothing overpowers the flavor of the meat. They only serve to enhance the overall experience. Overall, Maria’s has a couple of things going for it, the restaurant is established in the community and serves fresh and affordable food. Despite the underwhelming shredded chicken, the burrito special alone is worth a visit to Maria’s.

EDITORIAL

NASA WANTS YOUR FAFSA Aiming to fly Americans back on the moon, President Donald Trump requested to take $1.9 billion from the Pell Grant Program in a proposed budget amendment to Congress to send NASA to the moon by 2024. No immediate impact will happen to students because the money withdrawn is from the Pell Grant program’s surplus. But digging into the surplus creates a problem. A surplus creates a safety net to fall back on if disaster struck the economy. If a dramatic increase in unemployment rates happened, the distribution of the Pell Grant funds will skyrocket as a result. The size of the grants will most likely decrease as money is taken out of the surplus. More than 7 million students received the Pell Grant during the 2016-2017 school year according to the Federal Pell Grant Program 2016-2017 End of Year Report. Rescissions like these are meant to withdraw from programs that are insignificant or a waste of money. The Pell Grant is a valuable way for low-income families to pay for college. In 2018, it granted up to $6,000 in grants to families whose income was less than $50,000. The Pell Grant makes college affordable to those with financial instability. This shows the priorities of Trump and his lack of consideration for both education and access to education. The insignificance seen by Trump towards the Pell Grant may also be seen in other forms of financial aid. Actions like this can set a dangerous precedent when future budget

amendments are presented to Congress. Continued support of the already underfunded education system in the U.S. needs to be protected. Thankfully the California College Promise Grant, which grants fees for enrollment and tuition, aided over

11,000 students at Citrus College during the 2017-2018 school year. With the Promise Grant being state funded, the money allocated is outside of Trump’s reach. Azusa, having a median household income of $57,728 and the largest share of students in its area

according to the Citrus College spring 2019 factbook, shows the importance of grants and loans to a community. More than half of the students at Citrus College are aided by grants and loans. Is NASA’s trip to the moon really

more important than students’ education and teachers’ jobs? Undeniably, tuition is a financial weight that can be placed on a scholar for many years. All grants serve the same purpose — to make a college education affordable.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The only thing that fears an orange is scurvy Dear Ms. Mann and the Clarion Staff, I read your editorial about changing the Citrus mascot from an owl to an orange. While interesting, I think that is a bad idea. What is a mascot? A mascot is something to rally around and represent the school spirit. It should be something brave, fierce and a bit scary. You should be afraid or a mascot on some level. The only thing that is afraid of an orange is scurvy. But an Owl? Owls are cool. We know that from Harry Potter. The intrepid owl was chosen as the animal to shuttle important messages throughout the magical community. What are oranges in Harry Potter? They are merely a source of vitamin C. Everyone knows how amazing their eyesight is and how they can turn their heads almost all the way around, but did you know they have great hearing too? Owls can hear prey under the ground and water. If a person was capable of doing half the stuff the average owl can do, they’d call her a super hero. Additionally, getting killed by an owl is a horrible experience. They fly almost completely silently, grab the mouse or whatever in their super sharp talons, crushing it.

Then they swallow it whole or rip it apart to eat it, depending on its size. Whatever they can’t digest they barf back up so human children can enjoy dissecting the barf pellets in science class. Because owls aren’t just frightening silent killers in the night – they are givers. They get rid of rats and they give us science fun. I don’t see oranges doing much for me except being a tasty snack food. Which, by the way, is not very appealing, mascot wise. No one says “I want to be represented by something that gets its peel ripped off by a third grader and then consumed – because it captures my essence.” You claim “There isn’t anything intimidating about an owl.” Tell that to the poor sap at Chaffey who years ago tried to steal the live Owl mascot that lived in an aviary on campus. That guy almost got his face clawed off. As I understand it, that was the end of Citrus having a live mascot, but I think they ought to try it again. Perhaps someone in biology could push for it. Maybe then you’d realize how awesome they are. -Theresa Villeneuve Faculty Communications, Language Arts and Library Services

Stylist serves skid row through beauty

BY ELIZABETH MONICO STAFF REPORTER

EMONICO@CCCLARION.COM

Maili Higashiyama, 35, is a communications major at Citrus during the week and a hero to the homeless population of Los Angeles’ Skid Row on the weekends. She grew up in L.A. and has been taught to help those around her since her early childhood. “My grandpa would always stop and feed people and it’s carried on, I’ve just never stopped,” Higashiyama said. “If you can’t help out your neighbor, really are you doing anything good in the world?” With her grandfather’s influence,

Maili Higashiyama and her mother, Jackie Higashiyama, 59, have been going out of their way to feed those in need for as long as they can remember. About four years ago, Jackie Higashiyama met a woman named Shirley Raines, who shares Jackie and Maili’s passion for giving back. Raines, Higashiyama and a few other generous people they had encountered came together on the weekends to give back. “When we started, there were only four of us,” Jackie Higashiyama said. “It was just sandwiches, then we started with showers and hair washing.”

What started with those four people has come to be known as Beauty2theStreetz, with an influx of volunteers, including Higashiyama, who bring food, hygiene and makeovers to Skid Row every Saturday. “Being part of it just made sense; it made sense to come out, it made sense to be here,” Maili Higashiyama said. “We formed this core group, and then it branched out into what it is now and we’re able to do a lot more.” Four years after the group began collaborating, Shirley Raines’ @beauty2thestreetz” Instagram page has over 35,000 followers, they feed more than 300 people every week-

end and their hair-washing services have expanded to cuts and color. Maili Higashiyama helps with both the food and the hair every week. She meets with the group on Tuesdays to plan meals they intend to provide that weekend and is preparing each part of it. When they arrive at Skid Row on Saturdays, she lends herself to the hair chairs, providing makeovers to those lined up waiting for them. “My daughter has always been doing hair and she loves to help out,” Jackie Higashiyama said. “As you can see, they need these haircuts, they need to get their hair washed. They just transform into

these beautiful people—beautiful. And we have watched this.” The simple feeling of a clean scalp can provide the relief needed for some people on Skid Row to feel comfortable in their skin again. Through what Maili Higashiyama sees as part of her weekly routine, she has been able to provide not only a meal, but a little boost of confidence to at least 300 people a week for the past four years. By that math, Higashiyama has impacted over 62,000 lives. “When you look at it in the whole grand scheme of things, it’s really an amazing thing that we get to do,” Higashiyama said.

AWARDS

CENTER

She was presented with the award by adjunct counselor Leina Saikali, who was a big help of Johnson to achieve success at Citrus College. “When I met Leina, I was living in my car and that was the most darkest place of my life, but she was the light of my life at that moment,” Johnson said. Johnson serves as a youth ambassador for the state of California, helping foster youth facing homelessness. “Kyshawna’s life mission is to be a voice for the voiceless, using her own story to empower and motivate people of all backgrounds,” Saikali said. Johnson is writing an autobiography titled “The DNA Exchange” with the goal to help empower others to reach for their dreams regardless of their challenges. “I think my sacrifice and my resilience allowed me to get to this place. Not giving up and striving and thriving,” Johnson said. “It’s been incredible, I’m honored.” The Distinguished Student award is given to students who have demonstrated high academic performance in a given program. A hundred students won this award this year. Taylor Macadam was one of the

This happened during the winter break. Another was a mandated installation of a fire prevention water line. These updates were mandated by the Department of the State Architect which forced the school to extend the deadline to comply with state fire standards and state building codes. “Once you add up the unforeseen conditions and approved additional days, the contract is therefore updated and…the job was actually completed on time,” Diamond said. Diamond also explained that many times when a original target estimate for completion date is set it is not set in stone but instead is a estimation of around when it should be completed. “When any construction schedule (timeline) is developed…it is an estimate. The construction schedule is fluid, meaning that it can be changed due to certain conditions,” said Diamond in the email statement. The firm reached out to was not Horizon Construction, but in fact Westberg + White Architecture. Horizon Construction is the contractor that rebuilt the Campus Center, Westberg + White is the architecture that designed the remodel. The person who could not speak to us was the architect John Gomer from Westberg + White.

reographed dance. The ceremony ended with Claudette E. Dain, vice president finance and administrative services, congratulating the students’ academic success and thanking the people

who made the event possible for that night, which will be remembered for the rest of the lives of those students and inspire other Citrus College students to always strive for their best.

CAMPUS QUESTION What are you looking forward to next semester?

Aidan Camacho, 19 Computer Science

Danny Magana, 19 Audio Engineering

Karen Morales-Romero, 20 Psychology

“Probably starting my major prerequisite courses. I’ve mainly been doing just general ed right now. I hope to explore more of the STEM major and what they have to offer.”

“Meeting new people. I kind of like just meeting new people — making new friends. This is like my first semester back, so in the fall, I’m hoping to meet new people.”

“I’m looking forward to my new courses, and then I’m looking for new events to come through at Citrus. I’m hardly at school, but I haven’t really seen a lot of events happening for students.”

The set of “Moon Over Buffalo” before the curtain opened on May 18 in Little Theatre in HPAC.

‘Moon Over Buffalo’ brings joy to the theater BY ELIZABETH MONICO STAFF REPORTER

EMONICO@CCCLARION.COM

Under the direction of Neil H. Weiss, “Moon Over Buffalo” brought a full house to tears, snorts and cackles in The Little Theatre on May 18. A bold script, brave cast and breathtaking set design made for an unforgettable show. Comedic plays are easy to butcher. They can quickly become awkward and boring when jokes or funny moments in the script are over-thought and over-rehearsed. But when actors are overall committed to their characters and to the moments they are living in, it becomes effortless to keep their audience’s full attention throughout a two hour show.

With a script full of humiliation, backstabbing, intimate moments and some loud moaning, Chelsea Barron and Jose Menchaca played the two main characters, George and Charlotte Hay with full devotion to a wide range of emotional highs and lows. From sensual and playful sword fighting to the pain and anger surrounding George’s scandal, the two embodied the real damaged connection that is their characters’ marriage perfectly. The real star of the show was Franzetta Dorsey as Ethel. She stole the stage every time she was on it. Dorsey exemplified a grandma in every sense of the word. Ethel’s selective hearing combined with the little tomato pin cushion on

her wrist took her commitment to the ‘send me to a retirement home’ attitude to the next level. Another stand-out performance came from those behind the scenes. The two-story set was designed with amazing attention to detail, like a loft style front door and a wall that opened up for set changes; and the set changes themselves were a perfectly choreographed good time. Crew members came out dancing as they moved set pieces around smoothly and quickly, while giving the audience some additional laughs. Saturday night’s show of “Moon Over Buffalo” was an example of comedy done right, with an unafraid approach from every person involved.

professor continues legacy of putting the natural in supernatural BY SAMMY FERNANDES STAFF REPORTER

SFERNANDES@CCCLARION.COM

Citrus College history professor Bruce Solheim walks with no rush to get to a place. Instead, his destiny is to strive and make connections in other dimensions. He succeeds. It was in one of his morning walks while meditating that he had a vision of his dead friend Gene Thorkildsen, who confirmed the professor is a prophet and carries a big responsibility for writing about the paranormal. Solheim released “Timeless Deja Vu” in 2019, his second paranormal personal history book after “Timeless.” Solheim’s message is people should live fearlessly and with honor, because we are all timeless. “Timeless Deja Vu” is an independent book with 31 narratives of paranormal experiences throughout Solheim’s life from 1967 to 2019. Despite the book being about the paranormal, it does not fit into the category of terror.
