LOCAL Review clears officers who shot former Citrus College student

Woman who funded a terrorist group gets a five-year term in federal prison

The Pasadena police administrative review board announced on March 20 that they had cleared the actions of the officers who fatally shot unarmed college student Kendrec McDade on March 24, 2012. According to the district attorney’s finding, two Pasadena police officers, Jeffrey Newlen and Matthew Griffin, responded to a report of an armed robbery on Orange Grove in Pasadena. The officers saw McDade running near Orange Grove and Fair Oaks Ave. Oscar Carrillo told the officers that two men had threatened him with guns during the robbery. According to Newlen and Griffin, McDade ran towards them while holding his waistband. The officers each shot him four times.

The board said that the officers were acting within their rights when they shot him.

An Orange County resident, who admitted to wiring $2,050 to Pakistan in an effort to support terrorism, was sentenced to five years in federal prison on March 29. Oytun Ayse Mihalik is a permanent U.S. resident of Turkish descent. She pleaded guilty to one court of providing material support to terrorists.

Using an alibi, she sent three money orders to a man that she met online, according to federal prosecutors. Mihalik reportedly had a “favorite” tab on her laptop: “The Al Qaeda Manual” and had searched the terms “true jihad” and “Jihad in Afghanistan.”

Defense attorneys argued that she acted because she was vulnerable after experiencing a miscarriage. They said that Mahalik was being manipulated by the Pakistani man.

STATE Dodgers stadium’s new look imitates the old one Dodgers Stadium has been upgraded this off season, all while holding on to that original Dodgers Stadium look. During the five-month time restraint, a team rushed through creating new landscaping, a new souvenir shop, hexagon video boards (designed after the boards the stadium had when it opened in 1962), an improved sound system, better wheelchair access, environmentally sound restrooms, additional video monitors and giant bobbleheads. The construction began after Dodgers Stadium received a $100 million payroll from the Guggenhein ownership group. Stan Kasten, the Dodgers’ president and CEO, said that the upgrades were designed to increase comfort while maintaining that same Dodgers’ look that fans know and love.

California has the second-most expensive rent in the country A person who earns minimum wage, must work for at least 130 hours a week in order to afford a two-bedroom rental, according to a report released on March 11. The National Low Income Housing Coalition said, in its annual Out of Reach report, that in order to afford a two-bedroom rental, wage earners must make $53,627 annually or $25.78 an hour. California is the second-most expensive state for rent, second only to Hawaii. The report also said that in every state that minimum wage earners who work typical 40-hour weeks must spend at least 30 percent of their wages to afford a two-bedroom home. A two-bedroom rental costs $1,341 per month at fair market values in California.

NATIONAL Unemployment drops to 7.7 percent U.S. employers created 236,000 jobs, during February, which caused the national unemployment rate to drop to 7.7 percent: the lowest it has been in over four years. This followed a gain of 219,000 in December and 119,000 in January, according to Labor Department reports. Adding to the good news, the Dow Jones average is at a record high of 14,397 after the increase of 67.58 points. Employment rose by an average of 196,000 in the three months preceding February. The Labor Department report says that the unemployment rate has remained steady since September when it fell from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent. This amounts to approximately 12 million Americans who are still unemployed. However, the report shows that the economy may be on the way to recovery.

Obama proposes $100 million for BRAIN initiative

President Barack Obama proposed funding for a brain mapping project, which will study the brain’s activity in more detail than ever before. If the project is successful it could help develop news ways to treat brain-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, autism, stroke and brain injuries. Obama asked Congress to allocate $100 million to starting the project. Comparatively, that is a small investment. Obama also emphasized the jobs that would be created by the “BRAIN initiative.” Scientists have voiced their support for the idea. The BRAIN initiative, which stands for Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Technologies, would call for the development of technology that can record the electric impulses of cells and circuits in the brain.

GLOBAL North Korea to resurrect nuclear reactor

Jobless rate in Eurozone reaches record high

North Korea announced on April 2 that it would restart its nuclear reactor. The reactor was closed in 2007, as a stipulation of a six-nation disarmament agreement, including the U.S., China, Japan, South Korea and Russia. Pyongyang, North Korea’s capital, says that the reactor was used to generate electricity in the past. Now, however, the capital has declared its intention of “bolstering nuclear power.” It is unknown whether North Korea used plutonium or uranium in its February nuclear test, but it has announced that it will also be restarting a uranium enrichment plant. North Korea has been making such threats nearly every day since it was sanctioned by the U.N., for the nuclear tests it performed.

Statistics released on April 2 show that joblessness in the 17-country Eurozone has reached a record high. In January and February, the unemployment rate rose to 12 percent, which translates to roughly 19 million people who with without work in February. There are 1.8 million more people out of work than there were in February 2012. That rate, however, may be a deceptive representation. Some of the 17 countries are faring much worse than others, which affects the rate adversely.

In Greece and Spain the jobless rate, more than 26 percent, has pushed them to seek emergency funding for international lenders. In Germany the unemployment rate was 5.4 percent and in Austria it was 4.8 percent.

CLARIONnews 3 Campus Safety Forum addresses concerns Wednesday, April 3, 2013

The Citrus College administration teamed up with the Glendora Police department following the February gun scare.

Sgt. Matt Williams of the Glendora Police Department explained the objectives of law enforcement when going after an active shooter during the Safety Forum March 26.

afety is a top priority at Citrus College.

That was the key message communicated by the workshop, the Glendora Police Department and Student Conduct Team during a Campus Safety Forum on March 26 for a group of about 40 people.

Presenters discussed protocols in the event of a shooter on campus.

There have been 272 acts of school violence in the history of the United States. According to the FBI, 75 percent of shooters are on a “mission.” The shooter often names his victims prior to the attack.

The forum, open to all students and faculty, was created with the intention of offering safety tips in case of an emergency. A slideshow reviewed a brief history of school shootings. Instructional video clips and what to do in certain scenarios were also presented.

“You are the only person to save your life,” was the main theme.

For example, one video clip explained what to do in those crucial few seconds after an “active shooter” opens fire: run, fight, hide.

Campus liaison Cpl. Chris Sta-

bio from GPD was given principal credit for organizing the presentations at the forum. He was about to make his remarks when he was called in to court at the last minute.

Filling in were Sgt. Matt Williams and Cpl. Marty Barrett. Both officers shared their experiences and provided insight into the potential motives behind a shooting.

Barrett said that he had responded to an office shooting at the Edison building on Dec. 16, 2011 in Irwindale that left three dead, including the shooter. Many of the employees wisely hid in a locked room or closet, he said, and shoved heavy items in front of the door.

“They did the right thing, barricading the door with a copy machine,” Barrett said.

On the first day of the spring semester, Feb. 20, Citrus was on lockdown for a few hours while the GPD searched for a person of interest who was not found.

However, any time the campus is on lockdown, Williams said, “get ready to wait hours, as authorities do an extensive search for victims.”

Williams offered professors the signs that a student may be troubled.

“Is the student becoming withdrawn? Are they saying paranoid things?”

He said it is important to be

aware of your surroundings and remain calm in event of an active shooter. Staying poised and confident could save your life and protect other students.

Dean of students Martha McDonald also discussed a program called Behavior Assessment Intervention Team which can help identify troubled students and get students the help they need.

“BAIT consists of the Student Conduct Team and campus security to resolve any issues,” McDonald said.

“When I go to other campuses and talk to my colleagues about what they’re doing, we’re way ahead of the game,” McDonald said.

Revised priority registration may hurt sophomores Students could lose first pick at classes due to new guidelines going into effect in 2014.

Melanie Gudino / Managing Editor mgudino@ccclarion.com

T

he current eligibility for priority registration at Citrus College is veterans, people with disabilities, foster care, honor students, and athletes. But all that will change for many students who meet these requirements in the fall of 2014, as the Community College Board of Governors is revising eligibility requirements to exclude some students.

In a March 27 briefing, California Community College Chancellor’s Office vice chancellor of student services and special programs Linda Michalowski announced students who have 100 units or are under academic probation for two consecutive semesters will lose priority registration.

Veterans, foster students, and students with disabilities will still receive priority registration statewide. In addition, continuing students who have completed a freshman orientation, assessment, and maintain a cumulative grade point average 2.0 will follow.

According to Michalowski, who spoke via teleconference,

McClatchy-Tribune Media Services

Incoming students will have first pick if priority registration guidelines are finalized for classes in fall 2014. this represents a change in the previous institution policy of the California community colleges.

“We are not saying that any of these students can no longer be served by the colleges, but we’re only saying that the priority has to go to students who are coming in for a purpose and who are willing to stay on track and make progress towards achieving that

purpose,” she said.

According to californiacommunitycolleges.edu, 24 percent of classes have been cut since 2009. Since community college is the largest provider on workforce training in the state and nation, the new priority registration will be beneficial for students who want to pass their classes and be a full-time student rather than the

students who have taken the same class before and are taking less than 12 units.

“It isn’t fair for incoming students who are brand new and can’t get any classes because those students get first pick,” said Arvid Spor, Citrus College vice president of student services. “We have students with 100 units that haven’t moved on and the idea is

to get those students to move on and to go to whatever is next in their lives. This will help new students get the classes they need to move forward.”

20-year-old nursing major Savannah Caro stated “People who have been here longer should get priority registration rather than someone who is new. The priority registration should stay the same because it’s only fair.”

On the other hand, Jesse Villanueva, 19, undecided major, felt “changing priority registration is good for some people because it’s a great way to get started rather than getting at the bottom. If students get started with the classes they want, it can motivate them to finish college quicker.”

If you are a returning student with at least 70 units, you will be receiving a letter about this new registration policy indicating they will be in the back of the line for classes.

Spor suggested students meet with a counselor and discuss an educational plan to prepare for these new changes, if approved in Sacramento by the Board of Governors.

Students and staff work to increase sustainability Citrus is changing its habits for the better in an effort to reduce its impact on the environment.

Jo Jamison / A&E Editor jjamison@ccclarion.com

T

he effort to reduce environmental impacts through sustainable practices is ongoing at Citrus College.

Students are playing an important role in these efforts to be examples of what is possible at the community college level.

The Developing Energy Efficiency Professionals and campus clubs including Earth Club, Volunteer Corps and Citrus United States Green Building Council, along with dedicated faculty members Robert Goodman and Christine Goedhart are uniting with the goal of creating an ongoing sustainability movement on campus.

In April of 2012, Citrus College entered into a partnership with the California Community College Chancellor’s Office and the California Energy Commission to create the first sustainability “template” to be utilized as a guide for the state’s 112 community colleges.

The template promotes an active learning and participatory environment, where students, faculty and staff encourage and create sustainability and social awareness.

Citrus students had the opportunity to contribute to this template by attending the Sustainability Committee meetings on campus. Charity Karungari, a member of the DEEP program at

Citrus College assisted in writing the template.

“This experience has enabled me to understand the unselfish reasons behind being sustainable and doing the right thing,” Karungari said.

“I worked with a remarkable and intelligent group of people with different interests joined by a common goal.”

In fall 2012, members of the sustainability committee including director of facilities and construction, Fred Diamond, assistant vice chancellor, Fred Harris and DEEP interns presented the college’s template at the 2012 Green California Community College Summit in Pasadena and received the District Leadership Award for their efforts in sustainability.

“We are extremely proud to be the recipient of the energy award,” said Citrus College superintendent/president Geraldine M. Perri, in a statement.

“We have a commitment to sustainability and have made great strides toward becoming a greener institution. Receiving recognition for these efforts is always gratifying.”

Since the completion of the template, Citrus College club leaders and DEEP interns have been present at each Sustainability Committee meeting on campus to discuss the mechanics of implementing the template.

They encourage new projects at Citrus, including new construc-

tion, water conservation, energy efficiency, and ordering recycling bins to begin a recycling program.

Andrea Zapata, Citrus College DEEP intern and president of Citrus USGBC plans to continue pushing for improvements.

“Because Citrus is a leader in sustainability in the community college system, I believe we can move forward by creating a policy that would raise the current U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standard,” Zapata said.

“Although Citrus has completed targets set for the built environment, there is more to be done.”

The DEEP program at Citrus College employs student interns to promote sustainability and energy efficiency while providing green workforce exposure and real world experience.

Students are encouraged to attend events that include the Glendora Earth Day, beach clean ups, community bike rides, hikes, and field trips to the openings of local LEED buildings. LEED, as certified by the USGBC, is a green rating system developed for the built environment.

“It was a complete eye-opening experience. Working side by side with my peers and professionals allows me to understand and push my passion even further,” said Andrew Hernandez, a DEEP intern.

Last semester, Hernandez and the other DEEP interns were able

Solar-paneled parking lots, like the one seen here at Taft Elementary, are featured in the sustainability template created by Citrus. to visit the Harley Ellis Devereaux offices in Los Angeles, a LEED establishment where students met one-on-one with engineering professionals and were able to take a tour of their facilities while learning about green building.

By being involved with these projects, attending club meetings, and volunteering, students are encouraged to share their passion for the environment and make a difference at Citrus College.

Financial Aid Fair: a first for students Financial assistance is available, but many students do not know that they qualify.

Anthony Soliz / Forum Editor

“We try to reward students as much as possible.”

A

pplying for financial aid can be a challenging process. Some students give up. Others miss the deadline.

Some who should apply never do so in the first place.

Fortunately, help is available for Citrus students, but only to those who actively seek it.

Carol Thomas, director of financial aid, wants students to be informed about different services available to them.

To that end, she has developed a Financial Aid Fair featuring professionals from H&R Block, Foothill Credit Union, the Internal Revenue Service, as well as campus representatives.

The fair is scheduled for April 11, in the Campus Center Mall, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The professionals will answer any questions, offer advice, and hand out brochures and pamphlets.

The IRS will also present information seminars throughout the day when there are enough students to attend.

Many students may not realize what financial assistance is available for them. They may not

Scholarship coordinator

McClatchy-Tribune Media Services

realize that aid such as the Pell Grant or Board of Governor’s Fee Waiver are financial entitlements.

This means that if a qualified student applies and follows the guidelines, that student would be guaranteed aid.

In addition, Citrus College offers its own scholarships which range from $250 to $1,000 and sometimes even more.

“We try to reward students as much as possible,” said Katrina Hewitt, scholarship coordinator.

However, scholarship money is

often left on the table because few students apply.

If students don’t apply before they miss the April 5 deadline, then the donated scholarship money can be in jeopardy.

The remaining scholarship money may be returned to the

donor, who then decides where it goes next.

One obstacle discouraging students from applying is “that they assume they do not qualify,” Thomas added. “Therefore they eliminate themselves [right] off the bat.”

Thomas said that the IRS will cover information about deductions and tax credits. The IRS can advise students on the American Opportunity Credit, the Lifetime Learning Credit, and the Hope Credit.

Irene Queen, a tax professional from H&R Block, explained that tax credits “reduce the amount of taxes that you pay.”

For more information about the Financial Aid Fair, go to www.citruscollege.edu and look under the financial aid tab. On the site, there is more information about the specific information about programs, disbursement, and contact information.

Sex week educates on birds, bees and love ASCC has launched a sex education week to provide students with a different perspective on the typical college hookup culture.

ex is in the air.

As the weather warms and students start to shed layers of clothing, the Associated Students of Citrus College executive board is coordinating a series of three sex-related workshops in the Campus Center April 2 and 3.

Titled “Sex 101,” the presentations are sure to entertain, but the focus will be on educating students.

“When it comes to things like this, you have to frame it in a way to benefit the students,” said Alex Motashem, ASCC commissioner of public relations. “So we kinda go for maybe a bit risque to grab attention, but at the end of it, we want people to take something from these things [and] apply it to their lives, whether it be using contraception or applying safe sex practices.”

The first presentation, “The Promises and Perils of Hook-Up Culture” was presented by Occidental College sociology professor

“We tend to think that women’s liberation is women doing what men do.”

-Lisa wade

Sociology professor at Occidental College Lisa Wade. Rather than focus on the physical or emotional motivations behind sex, Wade’s talk centers on how certain sexualities thrive in certain cultures—in this case, how the college atmosphere puts pressure on students to have casual sex.

“On campuses where there’s a [dormitory] life, there seems to be the idea not that you can have casual sex if you want, but that sex should be casual,” Wade said.

“That’s a really new thing.”

“We tend to think that women’s liberation is women doing what men do. So it feels good to be a woman who is doing those things, because . . . historically, men have had the opportunity to do them and not women,” Wade explained.

“So when it comes to sexuality, we see the exact same pattern: Women feel like if [they] want to be a liberated member of society, they have to take a masculine approach to sex.”

The events of April 2 and 3 included “Sex Signals” at 11:30 a.m., a hybrid play/improv/educational presentation created by Catharsis productions, a Chicago-based theatre company. Following up will be Citrus human sexuality Professor Jim Skalicky at 1 p.m. titled “So called Love in the 21st Century.”

He explores the different types of love. “[Love] is probably one of the most overused words and least understood,” Skalicky said. His workshop also touches on the body’s physical responses to attraction and how love can easily be confused with other emotions, especially infatuation.

After Wade’s talk, it looks as if students are ready for the next lesson.

“Even if people don’t accept it, sex is a big part of college student life,” Motashem said.

Teachers Talk: Jesus Gutierrez

J

Interview

by

Jo Jamison

esus Gutierrez is a full time, tenured faculty member at Citrus College with an incredible perspective on teaching math and propelling the next generation of thinkers. This will be his final semester teaching differential equations in order to allow other faculty members to teach the course. Once he teaches PreCalculus after teaching Calculus III this fall, he will have taught every math class that Citrus offers.

What classes are you teaching this semester?

Three elementary algebra, each one at five units therefore fifteen; that’s my load, and then for overload I’m teaching differential equations for five units and calculus for four units for a combined total of 24 units. I do my overload in the upper classes. I concentrate the bulk of my load for the basic skills.

How long have you been working at Citrus?

I started in the fall of 2007 and I was hired full time in the fall of 2008, so since then I have worked full time here.

What are your fondest memories about teaching?

Discovering the hidden potential that students have. That’s for sure. It’s being able to have that student that had a rough start and could actually just turn it around and discover that there’s a certain studying style that they have to subscribe to.

This is the reason I keep coming back, being enthusiastic about teaching because there is that student that needs that

one more example or perhaps that technique or maybe just a simple laugh to say “well alright, I screwed up.” And I really do believe that we’re just moments away from success. I think that’s what brings me back to the teaching profession, it’s discovering what I have to do to actually propel the student forward.

Is there something you wish you could do over again?

I would work more with senior faculty members that had a rich experience at Citrus to grab some of their knowledge in terms of cooperative learning techniques, the sequence of the delivery of information, questions that are engaging and showcase multiple dimensions of a student’s understanding. If I had to do it all over again, I would have tapped into their experiences and zeroed in on key things that they learned over the years. Things that would have taken me years to discover.

What are some of the changes to you want to see at Citrus?

Jo Jamison Citrus College Clarion

Jesus gutierrez brings excitement and interest to the world of math.

That we engage the learners from multiple dimensions. That we try to address the different learning environments that students may exceed in. I think that is something that is important, offering different delivery mechanisms for the instruction of math in such a way that it optimizes student success. The only way we’re going to do this is by piloting innovative ideas.

What are the goals that you are still working towards?

I’m still working towards the goal of teaching every class that can be offered at a community college in terms of content. My long term goal is to procure a

master’s degree in statistics and look at things from a more practical statistical perspective. A lot of the time we look at stats we don’t look at certain dimensions that are contributing factors to the outcomes. I want to be more educating in that area. My short term goal is to teach Calculus III this fall.

Why is math important for a student to study?

Math is useful because you can hear people’s arguments. You can consider other opposing views. You can provide a solution with sound reason and you can follow a line of thinking and I believe that goes with consid-

ering arguments that you can’t really confirm. The reasoning is the skill we are acquiring in math.

What courses will you be teaching next semester?

In the fall I will be teaching linear algebra, calculus III, and the algebra sequence. I will be taking linear algebra for the next two years here so I have the opportunity to build that course get better at delivering that information. That will be my next challenge, how to engage students in the learning of linear algebra.

GET UP,GE

S

pring is here, but students have eased into the rhythm of college routines and have become totally absorbed in the hustle and bustle of college life. Every day the typical college student is cooped up in a classroom, a library or at home, closed in by walls and ceilings.

It would be beneficial for students to get away and enjoy nature.

An outdoor excursion can be refreshing for the body and therapeutic for the mind and soul.

Spending time outdoors seems, too often, to end up on the bottom of a daily to-do-list. Of course, during routine drives to school or work we see trees, plants and occasional critters, but seldom do we take the time to enjoy them. Such respites in nature are rare. We have places

to go, and things to do that keep us running on a tight schedule.

Without neglecting responsibility for our ‘on-the-go schedules,’ this spring, let’s allow ourselves to take advantage of that unexpected free time we have midweek or on the weekends to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. California spring is the perfect time to enjoy our beautiful state and there are many outdoor activities to choose from.

It’s wonderful time to go biking or hiking and allow nature to revitalize the senses. Hiking is one of those activities that get’s you out of the gym and into nature, while giving you that same intense workout.

As many of you may know, we have our own local getaway, The Garcia Trail in Azusa that is a great hike to experience. There also is Eaton

anyon in Pasadena and further st are the Claremont Wilderness rails that are great hiking spots to joy.

So if you’re finding yourself a bit erwhelmed by deadlines or other e stresses and you just need to get way, get up and GET OUT. Spending time outdoors is far tter than downtime with technoly that actually drains your brain.

Over the years, many studies ve shown how time spent in natul environments benefit the human ody by increasing energy levels and erall health. The outdoors offers juvenation and fatigue reduction, creasing energy, alertness and senity.

According to Chris Kresser, an upuncturist and practitioner of tegrative medicine, “Our rela-

tionship with nature is a vital component of our well being, and one often neglected due to the concerns of modern life.”

This is not only relatable for college students but many other individuals in different walks of life.

So if you feel your lifestyle has deprived you access to the outdoors, take a deep breath and do something about it. Around this page are a few places that aren’t too far, and are easy to fit into any schedule.

If you are in the mood for a walk in beautiful gardens and have some spending cash, the Arboretum in Arcadia is a perfect place to slow down and enjoy your day.

So take charge of your down time and invest in yourself by allowing nature’s natural remedies to ease and revive your life.

Photography By Javier Galaviz/Photo Tech for the past two seasons. After helping lead her team to the first round California Community College Athletic Association playoffs in 2012, she was named to the All-Western State Conference Blue Division 2nd Team.

The accolades haven’t stopped either. In February of this year, Lockett became the first player in Citrus program history to be named a 1st Team Academic All-American by the California Community College Fastpitch Coaches Association.

“I am super proud of her because of that,” said head coach Jackie Boxley, who has lost her fair share of standout athletes to academic ineligibility in the past. “She’s a great student as it is, but her commitment to it and her commitment to excellence has been the best part of it.

She is just an awesome student.”

For Lockett, balancing work and play comes naturally—after all, she’s been doing it for most of her life.

“When I was younger I wasn’t allowed to go outside until my homework was done, so that really inspired me to really focus, get it down and knock it out,” Lockett said. “In high school I played travel softball while I did basketball and volleyball.

I would go from practice to practice, get home at 8 p.m. and still try and fit time in for my homework. So it’s kinda been with me: yeah you can go have fun if you want, but make sure your schoolwork is done, be-

cause that’s what’s going to take you down the road.”

Though sport, academics and family all play a role in Lockett’s life, the biggest impact comes from above. Before every at-bat, she takes a hop, points upward and draws a cross by the plate. If she strikes out?

God’s way of keeping her humble, Lockett says.

“When I have a slump I visit a scripture that I use, Phillipians 4:13, which is ‘I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me,’” Lockett said. “I started drawing a cross to remind me that no matter what, He’s got me. I need to have faith, and without faith I’m not going to succeed. If I don’t believe in myself, nobody else can.”

“Jumping kind of just got me prepared,” Lockett continued. “I tried going to bat without doing [the routine] and I just felt uncomfortable.

Now I have to do it every pitch.”

With the way she’s batting, opposition pitchers wouldn’t mind if Lockett took another break from the ritual. Her .407 batting average is good enough for the second-highest mark on the team, and she leads the Owls in stolen bases (6) and runners thrown out (42).

“She’s a really dedicated team player, and always puts the team before herself,” said 20-year-old outfielder Sara Moore. “She works very hard here on the fields as well as in her schoolwork and she is an inspiration to me.”

Lockett’s plans after Citrus College are to go to a four-year university, where she hopes to continue playing softball. She plans to major in kinesiology, but says she doesn’t know what school she wants to attend.

Wherever she goes, her faith will come with her.

“Believing in Him is a start, but believing in Him also reminds me I need to believe in myself, because He didn’t give me this talent just to go and be stupid out there,” Lockett says. “It keeps me positive, and I try to share that positive energy with everyone around us.”

T

he Citrus College Women’s Swim team performed incredibly well at the Western State Conference Quad #4 on Friday. The team competed against Los Angeles Valley College, Ventura and Bakersfield. This event was the first meet of the 2013 season to be hosted at Citrus and was the school’s first home meet in over three years.

The Citrus team participated in 11 of the 22 events and made an impressive effort in each proceeding.

“We did really well. Everybody tried really hard and we made a great effort,” said Lindsey Miller of the Citrus Owls who competed in the 200-yard

and the 500-yard free events.

All of the teams at the meet showed inspiring sportsmanship and continued to get better in the water. Kirsten Pampu scored 7th place in the 50-yard fly with a time of 32.51. It was her first time swimming in the event competitively this season.

The Owl’s freshman star, Chelsea Fujita-Haffner, finished in fourth place in the 50-yard free with a time of 27.25 and in fifth place for the 100-yard free with 1:00.86. This was just a tenth of a second off her best time this year.

During one of the final events of the meet, Citrus placed third in the 400-yard free relay with the team of Kirsten Pampu, Lora Marquez-Salgado, Gabriela Debia, and Chelsea Fujita-Haffner. They finished the event with a time of 4:13.04.

“The team as a whole did outstanding. Depth without question is our strong suit. You could see that in the events that we competed well in today, especially the

last relay. We were able to beat a couple teams and that is simply because we had more depth towards the end of the meet,” said head coach and aquatics coordinator Andrew Silva.

“The [conference] athletes are very encouraging to each other.

We understand that everything we are doing now, we are just trying to build and make ourselves better so we can go compete in other programs and state. There is a mutual respect between the programs.”

“We are all just trying our best and we are really excited to be here,” said Jessie Ball of the Ventura team who came in first in the 200-yard free and second in the 100-yard free.

The next meet will also be at Citrus, when the Owls host Santa Monica College for the last home conference meet of the season Friday, April 5. The meet is scheduled to start at 2:30 PM at the Aquatics Center.

Sophomore utility fielder Mike Rowland has managed to shine, even though his team has struggled.

Finding the bright side In the face of adversity, one baseball player is still smiling.

I

t’s been a rough couple of years for Citrus baseball. The team has gone 26-35 over the past two seasons, and is currently trying to break out of a slump where they’ve lost 12 of their last 14 games.

But Mike Rowland doesn’t hang his head when he strikes out.

More importantly, he doesn’t do it when his teammates do, either.

“As far as character is concerned—and I’ve been coaching for 40 years—Michael is number one,” said Owl assistant head coach Bill Viverto. “I’ve never seen a nicer, more respectful young man than Michael Rowland.”

“His demeanor is always the same, he’s always in a good mood.

Happy—whether he strikes out with bases loaded or hits a grand slam. It’s still the same Mike.”

It comes in handy for Rowland,

as he’s dealt with frustrations of a struggling team for two years now.

A utility fielder, he’s managed to turn a solid freshman year into an outstanding sophomore edition, as his .309 batting average is second on the team. Rowland currently leads the Owls with 21 RBIs, including 2 home runs.

Close friend and fellow sophomore teammate William Ouellette says the improvement stems from Rowland’s work ethic.

“We’re always here before and after practice, working hard, taking extra hacks, ground balls,” Ouellette said, “whatever it takes to get to the next level and be the best we can be.”

Even his time off the field is dedicated to baseball. When he’s not at practice or at school, he’s working at the batting cages or spending time training the next batch of ballplayers.

Rowland manages the 12-andunder Ayala Black Dogs, the feeder team into the Ayala High

School Bulldog program where he earned a spot in the program’s Hall of Fame.

But Rowland attributes his even-keeled attitude to his struggles, not his successes. He attended Loyola Marymount University and joined the baseball team, but was unable to see much time on the field. He transfered to Citrus after only a year with the school.

“Being a freshman guy in a four year program is even harder than being a freshman guy in a two year program because you’re playing against some guys that are five and six years older than you,” Rowland said.

Rowland learned to stick out the slumps with a smile. He says he’s in talks with different schools, but would love to attend UC Santa Barbara, among others.

“Best of luck to Mike,” Ouellette said. “I know he’s going to do good things in the future and hopefully we see each other again at a higher level of baseball.”

hen Elle Woods arrives at Harvard law school, she is met with hostility from classmates and professors alike.

However, in “‘Legally Blonde:’ The Musical,” she proves herself to her peers and the audience, through hard work and personality.

‘Legally Blonde’ is coming to the Haugh Performing Arts Center for a three-night run. Showtimes are April 12 at 8 p.m., April 13 at 8 p.m. and April 14 at 2 p.m.

Emma Degerstedt, 21, who plays Elle Woods said, “I was drawn to acting, ‘cause I was really bad at sports.” When asked why

she was drawn to the character Elle, Degerstedt said, “I have a lot of similarities with Elle, I was in sororities in college, I even drive the same car as her.”

Josh Tangermann, 20, who plays the male lead, Emmett says, “I have acted since I was 7; doing plays at my church.” When asked about the live orchestra Tangermann said, “Its really cool, to sing with a live orchestra. It brings a new feeling.”

“It will be tons of fun, a high energy show,” said Brittany Tangermann, 21, who plays Paulette, a silly hairdresser who befriends Elle and steals the show with her ridiculous one-liners.

More than 50 Citrus student actors, singers and dancers make up the cast, which includes several members of the Citrus Singers en-

semble.

The musical is based on the 2001 film starring Reese Witherspoon and novel by Amanda Brown. The plot is simple: Elle Woods must get accepted into Harvard law school to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner.

Garrett Smith, who plays Professor Winthrope, wasn’t quite sure how he made the production—at first, he despised acting.

“My parents made me take it in high school. Somehow I ended up at Citrus,” he said.

In the role of Winthrope, he chooses Elle as an intern to defend millionaire widow Brooke Wyndahm who is accused of murder.

Tickets are $16 for students and seniors, $20 for the public and $15 for kids 16 and under.

Expand your horizons and study abroad Spring is the perfect time to consider leaving the nest. Why not try a semester abroad?

L

isten up, Owls: It’s time to spread your wings and fly away from the nest.

Sign up for the Study Abroad program, and plan to spend 12 weeks in London.

With American Institute for Foreign Study, students can travel to London in the fall, Spain in the spring, and Italy in the summer.

Why study abroad you ask?

Why not study abroad is the true question. Having your eyes opened to new experiences, people, food, and culture is an experience that should not be missed .

Now is the time to trek around the world, and money should not be an obstacle. Yes, it can be costly, but financial aid and scholarships are available to help finance a semester abroad. Living in these countries will never be as inexpensive as it is when you tour as a student.

Citrus students enroll in 12 units taught by community college professors. Eligibility for the trip requires a cumulative GPA of 2.5 in at least 12 units of previous college level course work.

Courses taught abroad are transferable.

The study abroad program includes housing in a shared homestay or student apartment.

Homestays include twin room accommodation, continental breakfast Monday through Friday and a shared kitchen with a local family.

Student apartments typically house 2-6 students. Apartments include shared bedrooms, equipped kitchen, living area and bathroom. You’re on your own for food, however.

Immersing yourself in a new culture is a great learning experience. It benefits you in the long run, when you are applying to universities or looking for a job.

A semester abroad displays independence, adaptability, and cultural knowledge.

Most community college students still live at home with their parents. A semester abroad can be a way of branching out without having the stress of moving out of your parent’s home.

Yes, there are other ways of living than the one we are used to. Moving out of our comfort zone may sound intimidating but it will open doors and lead to new friendships.

You get to leave the nest, with-

CLARIONforum editorials Same sex, same rights Citrus College Clarion ccclarion.com

C

alifornia’s Proposition 8 and the federal Defense of Marriage Act deny the recognition of marriage between same-sex couples. To deny the title of marriage to a committed couple goes against basic human rights, against what we stand for as Californians and what we stand for as Americans.

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the constitutionality of Prop. 8 March 26 and DOMA a day later; they are expected to come to a decision on both of these issues by June of 2013.

The Court should rule both laws unconstitutional. The hope is that a broad ruling will open the doors to legitimizing marriage for same-sex couples not only in California and nine states that already allow the practice, but nationwide.

America is known throughout the world as a free country and we should uphold that well-earned reputation by allowing all of her citizens the freedom to obtain the title of marriage.

Prop. 8 does not take benefits away from gay couples in domestic partnerships, as they receive the same legal benefits as a heterosexual couple would. What it does take away from same-sex couples is the respect and legitimacy that can only come with a marriage certificate—if it were a movie

headline, it would read “Separate but Equal: The Sequel.”

And while Prop. 8 doesn’t financially discriminate against same-sex couples, DOMA does.

In fact, the 1996 federal law is so twisted, the official House of Representatives report on the act proclaims it as America’s “moral disapproval of homosexuality,” because “heterosexuality better comports with traditional (especially Judeo-Christian) morality.”

Of course, there’s no better judge of Judeo-Christian morality than a bunch of 1990s politicians.

Opponents of same-sex marriage are often asked what harm can come from welcoming the gay community.

The flimsy rebuttals range from a negative impact on children (wrong, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics) to matrimony primarily being a childbearing practice.

Wrong again—this time according to Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.

“There are lots of people who get married that can’t have children,” said Breyer in response to the offspring argument made by Charles Cooper, a lawyer representing the opponents of gay marriage.

And he’s absolutely correct.

Should we invoke a marriage ban on couples over 55, as Justice Elena Kagan suggested?

If anything, overturning Prop. 8 will strengthen the economy. When same-sex marriage was legalized in 2011 in New York, it boosted the economy of New York City alone by $259 million annually by way of additional marriage license fees, local celebrations and wedding-related purchases, according to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinne.

But perhaps most importantly, overturning DOMA and Prop.

8 will establish California as the nation’s poster state for equality, paving the way for future generations to accept people of all different walks of life for who they are.

As is, both DOMA and Prop.

8 deny a select group of individuals the right to marry, perpetuating the unconscious idea that prejudice is OK as long as it’s based on sexual orientation. Both laws move America backwards in terms of discrimination.

Preventing a gay couple from enjoying the legitimacy that the title of marriage holds is not only childish, it’s unfair. It reminds us of the biggest kid in the sandbox allowing some kids in and shoving others out.

There’s a lot of kids outside that sandbox now, and they’re tired of waiting.

According to a November 2012 Gallup poll, Americans have changed their minds and a majority are now in favor of gay marriage.

The same year, gay marriage proponents landed the biggest supporters of all when President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden have both endorsed their cause.

As Americans we should set the example for the rest of the world—that governments make mistakes, but they can also rectify them.

The Supreme Court should move this country forward by overturning both of these discriminatory laws and make marriage equality the norm.

Iraq: The mistake that took a decade

A

t 11:19 p.m. on March 19, 2003, then-President George Bush addressed American citizens, saying “At this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.”

If he had known what his words would mean to Americans ten years later, maybe he would’ve chosen differently.

During his address, Bush laid the responsibility of delivering “peace of a troubled world” on American soldiers. He spoke about duty and honor, skill and bravery.

He warned that the conflict could be longer and more difficult than some expect, words that seem more than just ironic today.

The war has had outcomes that few could have predicted.

The “grave danger” that Bush warned about was former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his alleged weapons of mass destruction.

However, no evidence of his supposed ties to al-Quaida was found and his weapons of mass destruction do not exist.

A report made in 2005 by the Commission of the Intelligence Capabilities of the United States Regarding Weapons of Mass Destruction stated “Extensive postwar investigations were carried out by the Iraqi Survey Group. The ISG found no evidence that Iraq

Christian Rodriguez

had tried to reconstitute its capability to produce nuclear weapons after 1991.”

Bush then also promised to make “every and effort to spare innocent civilians from harm” but later in the speech, said that they would take no half measures and accept no outcome, but victory.

Today, Bush can proudly say that no half measures were taken.

According to Brown University’s “Cost of War” project, the U.S. War in Iraq has caused the death of more than 134,000 Iraqi civilians and 4,480 American troops, with an additional 32,000 American soldiers who were wounded.

The numbers are overwhelming and the lives they represent are hard to think about.

The report also stated that the

war has cost an estimated $3.2-$4 trillion dollars, not including the $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans.

Iraqi-Americans relations have deteriorated and Iraq itself is far from peaceful.

Hussein, a member of a Sunni family was especially cruel to the Sunnis’ long-time rivals, Shiite Arabs.

In 2005, Americans officials held elections to establish Shiite leaders in Iraq and they succeeded.

Iraq’s prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki is the Shiite ruler of what is now being called an authoritarian government.

His harsh policies against Sunni Arabs have lead to a series of uprisings and put Iraq on the brink of civil war.

15

It is time to reflect on a war that has had more negative effects than positive and whose validations are invalid.

Few college students spend their days reflecting on the atrocities of war, but it is people in their twenties who fought the war, and people in their twenties who will pay for it.

Bush’s words during his March 2003 address, “We will defend our freedom. We will bring freedom to others and we will prevail,” echo painfully today.

The Bush administration may never admit that they were wrong to invade Iraq, but today, ten years later, we know better.

This generation needs to accept the lessons that the past ten years have taught us and accept its power to prevent more loss.
