“This tattoo signifies my new life free from depression medication.” — Katherine Moya

Aspiring chefs find ingredients for success in Chino Course now offered on new campus offers the makings of a future in food service ANTHONY SILVA

ulinary Arts class at Chino campus is a comprehensive, trade-oriented course. Taught as part of the Hotel and Food Services program, the culinary arts class specializes in making pastries, pies and other baked goods. Chef Daniel Swift opens the class with up-to-date news from all over the culinary world. His students listen attentively, notepads in hand, writing down tricks of the culinary trade, while laughing as Swift infuses a great sense of humor into his lecture. From the lecture, the students are given a demonstration on how to make pie fillings and crusts, while also being given alternative ideas to practice alongside the curriculum of the class. Originality and creativity are praised in this atmosphere as the students are given the tools to start with but are left with an open book of possibilities for their end result. The only question is: How does this Culinary program compare to those of the specialized trade schools? Donald O’Donnell is in his first year in the program after spending some time attending the Le Cordon Bleu Institute, one of the

top culinary programs in the country. “This Chaffey program is so much more hands on than any of the other programs I’ve been a part of,” O’Donnell said as he worked on his dessert. “Everyone here is so interested in the class and that really shows in our work.” Swift’s assistant Gustavo Torres could not agree more. In his third year with the program, Torres has gone with Swift to culinary arts competitions and has seen from a first-hand perspective just how formidable the program can be. “The wide variety of styles we incorporate in our dishes definitely makes us different from any of the trade schools out there,” he said. Students credit the dedicated work of Swift for their accomplishments. “Chef has really taught us so much about the scientific knowledge and life experience we need to be successful after we leave here,” culinary arts major Dianna Stachurski said as she and her group worked on puff pastries. Clearly, nothing is out of reach and no recipe is too complex for these culinary arts students.

Mayor speaks on Constitution Day Rights of the people was the main theme SPENCER TRUMBORE

he Student Activities lounge was patriotically adorned on Sept. 17 for the 5th Annual Constitution Day. Dr. Don Kurth, Mayor of Rancho Cucamonga presided over the event. He spoke about the importance of this nation’s founding documents and to announce his bid for California State Assembly. Kurth summarized the nation’s founding and the Bill of Rights with reverence, stopping frequently to answer questions. Kurth responded to a question asking if it was possible to sit in on a council meeting by detailing an illegal immigration protest that went awry in 2007, resulting in the accidental death of day laborer leader Fernando Pedraza. In the political firestorm that followed, the city council chambers were filled with angry citizens on both sides of the issue.

New and useful resources for students at the library

KURTIS FROST

he library has new and exciting programs this year for students. Three Macintosh laptops are available for checkout within the library. Now students can use a laptop for group projects and not deal with the crowd at the computer area, or to just do internet

research in peace and quiet.

A new database is also available, called Artstor. This allows students to look at over a million images of history and art in high quality. The quality of the images is so high that a student could zoom in on a single piece of stitching on a garment not worn for over 500 years.

Textbook reserves are also available to check out for an hour at a time. This is great for classes that ask you to buy a book that is only used once a semester, which can also be helpful for the start of a new semester at a time when students may not have enough money to purchase the book before the start of class. The Chino branch of the library is

available for all Chaffey College students attending at any branch. The Chino branch now has Friday hours and student use of a copy machine. The library has many features that help students through their classes, and in the words of Reading Rainbow, “Don’t take my word for it. Head over to your local library.”

Olivia Hernandez: Running for awareness ‘Quitting is never an option’

APRIL KIBBE

livia Hernandez runs to spread awareness about her illness, neurofibromatosis. The disease is a debilitating neurological disorder that causes deafness, blindness, paralysis, disequilibria, chronic pain and disfigurement. “I was diagnosed with NF2 as a baby,” Hernandez said. “I have had multiple spinal surgeries and radiation treatments for five brain tumors.” Hernandez undergoes radiation treatments to shrink the five tumors in her head. “My head swells up and hurts from the radiation,” Hernandez said. “But I don’t want to have the tumors removed. It’s too dangerous.” The disease has affected Hernandez’s hearing. “I remember talking on the phone one night,” she said. “I could not hear very well. When I woke up the next day, I was deaf.” Hernandez’s mother was deaf, almost blind, and paralyzed from the waist down when she died at age 39. Hernandez’s sixyear-old son has been diagnosed with the disease. “My son has already lost vision in one eye,” Hernandez said. Although the disease has taken over Hernandez’s hearing, she is still in control

of her education. “I am majoring in philosophy,” Hernandez said. She uses real-time caption when attending class. “It’s a little hard but it’s fun,” she said. “Chaffey has accommodated my needs very well.” Hernandez spends a lot of her time concentrating on her family, education and training for marathons. She is involved with the NF Endurance Team. She is also the team captain for the Children’s Tumor Foundation, the largest non-governmentfunded charity foundation raising money for vital research. Hernandez was scheduled to run a marathon in Long Beach on Oct. 11. “I suffer from chronic pain and disequilibria,” Hernandez said. “My illness has taken so much from me. The only way I know how to fight back is to run.” The disease is an everyday challenge and she feels blessed to live the beautiful life she is living. Hernandez is not just firing up her running shoes for herself. She is doing it for her friends and family battling this disease as well. “My children deserve to grow up with a healthy mommy,” Hernandez said. “Quitting is never an option!” For more information about NF2, visit www.ctf.org.

It Might Get Loud KURTIS FROST

hree legendry guitarists — Jack White (White Stripes, Raconteurs), The Edge (U2) and Jimmy Page (The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin) — are seated in a room together with their instruments to see what unfolds. This is the setting for It Might Get Loud. When driving up to the building where all three guitarists meet, White states that a fist fight will probably break out between the three. Instead the movie takes the audience through a journey of the birth and life of a musician, starting with influences, setups, writing, trials and ending with their own personal style of playing. It is an interesting combination of narrative, home movies, live performances, and even animation. Each musician goes back to his hometown to revisit where he used to practice and played his first shows, reliving when they first started and what things affected their role as a guitarist. The strongest part of the film is when The Edge returns to the house that the U2 album “War” was written. He sits and explains British troops shooting and killing civil rights marchers in Ireland. The movie continues to switch between each musician’s back-story and the meeting of the three. They each explain their own personal setups, style and end up playing together for songs that each of them wrote. Although the audience knows that each has become a legend, the characters are expressed in such a personal way that the audience wants to know what happens next in their

story. It gives the feel of an interesting plot, when realistically there is not that much of a plot line, just three guitarists telling their stories. Parts of the film are shot using newrealism cinematography. The camera is so shaky that it seems amateurish but also gives the film a very raw feel. Some viewers may be distracted by this; some may enjoy it. The film also jumps around on some topics just when you want to know more and then never revisits that topic again. I recommend this film for any musician and songwriter because it is easy to relate to and even non musicians can appreciate the images and the soundtrack. It Might Get Loud is on limited release and has recently started to play in independent theaters in the area. Check online for times and locations.

POWER TO THE PASSES.

Zombieland KURTIS FROST

hate the term “instant classic” because classics take years to be fully appreciated. However, to me, the film Zombieland is an instant classic. Zombieland is a horror comedy that takes place during the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse and follows the actor (unnamed in the film) Jesse Eisenberg. He is an obsessive-compulsive video gamer shut-in with a list of rules he follows in hopes to avoid zombies. He meets up with Woody Harrelson’s character, a nothingto-lose self-proclaimed zombie killer with a weakness for Twinkies. The movie is different from the traditional zombie films, where it is all about the characters trying to survive by any means necessary. They tend to involve chase scene after chase scene. Zombieland focuses more on what would people do with nothing to lose and the whole world at their disposal. The characters are all enjoyable and seem to be extremes of real-world personalities, which honestly, if/when the zombie apocalypse comes, the most extreme personalities will come out of the most subtle people. So, it is easy to see a little of every character in ourselves. This film is entertaining for both followers of zombie films and people who are just looking for a good laugh. The gore is very subtle compared to many George A. Romero films (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead) so it can even be enjoyed by those faint of heart.

Dangers of getting tattooed: Fading and unhealthy risks

VIRGINIA LUCERO

attoos seem to be the thing to get when you turn 18, but by the time you turn 68 it might not look as hot as it once did. Over time, skin loses its elasticity, the tattoo image will shrink, stretch, and fade. Also as one ages, or even as one gains and loses weight, the image can become distorted. Tattoos are also known as body art, just like in Renaissance Art. Over many years the colors fade and the canvas becomes cracked and brittle. Art experts must then restore the image. Unfortunately, skin does not react in the same manner as this type of art. Some safe methods for removal are laser and fade away creams. Fade away creams will not completely remove the tattoo, but some people use the cream first and then have a doctor use laser to remove what is left of the tattoo. Laser can be very painful, time consuming, and expensive. Non-profit organizations have sprung up to help ex-gang members remove their tattoos. When people without monetary resources begin to regret their tattoos, many resort to drastic measures. Such is the case below. An unnamed (minor) high school student used a knife to gouge a gang insignia from his hand. He was afraid his tattoo might provoke rival gang

members to attack him. A single mom (who does not want to be identified) used a spoon heated over a flame and pressed it to her face. Infection and scarring resulted. Unfortunately a trace of three dots just below her eye still remains. Another reason people remove tattoos is the stigma associated with them still remains causing some employers and the military to require tattoo free skin. Tattoo ink is also worth mentioning. No one can be certain what is in the ink. Manufactures are not required to disclose the contents of each color. Inks that include plastic based pigments are intensely colored. Glow in the dark and UV tattoo inks are extremely risky. Some are radio active or toxic while deemed safe. Allergic reactions and phototoxic reactions are risky side effects. Also it is important to go to a safe tattoo parlor because there are risks such as blood-born diseases, skin disorders, skin infections, allergic reactions, and MRI complications that can cause major bacteria and serious diseases. Photography major Gina Nicol has just been through laser removal. “The black ink was too dark. I had the tattoo lightened, and it was very painful. I plan to have color added,” Gina Nicol said. Nicol is not deterred by unsatisfactory work or the pain of removal. She is determined to get her art work restored and continually improved. “The black ink is the easiest to remove with laser. I plan to get more tattoos in the future.” Nicol said.

“I got the dandelion with my best friend, it is the most exotic of the wild flowers.” — Maria Katrina Zagala, liberal arts major

From ancient times to today, A colorful tradition of expression

JULIE COSGROVE

or millennia, tattoo artists have allowed us to express a variety of things with body art. Until only recently, tattoos were created by hand, painstaking and painfully. We know that mummies with body markings have been found in Egypt and in Europe that are as old as 2000 BC. The marks can only be tattoos. And we know that Japanese tattoos can be seen on ancient dolls dating back to 3000 BC. In Europe, among pre-Christian German, Celt and Danish societies, tattoos were popular until banned by Pope Hadrian in 787AD, but they persisted until the Norman invasion of England in 1066 drove tattoos completely underground. Tattooing was not revived in the

west until European explorers discovered the beautiful tattoo artistry of the South Pacific. Captain James Cook brought back not only a Polynesian who displayed his tattoos publicly in Europe until he died, but also a number of his own sailors who had gotten tattoos. He also brought back the word “tatau,” which is the root of the modern word “tattoo.” They found tattoos among the Hawaiian, Maori and Samoan societies, among others, where elaborate ceremonial tattoos were given as rites of passage, signs of status, and even as records of a person’s accomplishments. Both men and women wore tattoos, and in New Zealand, the Maori tattoo artists discovered how to make tattoos in color. The maori men often wore stunning and beautiful facial tattoos called “moko” and would often use the design of the tattoo in documents in place of their signatures. Christian missionaries in the 19th and early 20th century tried to banish the practice, but despite this cultural colonialism, Maori artists in particular were able to

preserve their knowledge and hand it down to succeeding generations. To see pictures, check out the sites: www.pbs.org/skinstories/history and www.designboom.com/history/ tattoo. For a while, tattoos became popular among the upper classes in Europe who could afford the expensive handmade designs. But by the mid nineteenth century, machine made tattoos became available and by the turn of the century, an electric tattoo machine made it possible for the broad public to get tattoos. The early twentieth century with its two world wars became a “Golden Age of the Tattoo” because patriotic Americans believed that men sporting tattoos had fought in the war. Tattoos have a dark side in history as well. In early Japan, criminals were forced to wear tattoos. In Australian prisons, inmates sometimes force jailed child molesters to be tattooed. And the most infamous of these are the number tattoos that the Nazi’s burned onto Jews held in concentration camps.

www.chaffeybreeze.com

Today, holocaust survivors bear these scars. Gangs have long used tattoos as identification and as rites of membership. The Yakuza, Japanese organized gangs, use tattoos, such that many public bath houses in Japan refuse to allow tattoos, in an effort ban criminals. American gangs use tattoos, especially as identifiers in prison. The saddest use may be the tear drop tattoo, that can signify a murder, a murder victim’s friend or relative, or even revenge taken for a murder. In the west, tattoos lost popularity in the l950s because of fears of disease, hepatitis especially. Many tattoo shops were closed down. However, the1960s brought a renaissance, in part because of new health regulations and in part because the American Civil Rights, Feminist and Gay rights movements created a mood of individualism and counterculture. Tattoos became popular again, but with different themes. Butterflies and flowers replaced the more masculine “flash” art of the soldiers and sailors of the l940s.

immy Purcell always thought he’d grow up to be an animator. But recently, his goal is to be a freelance artist. Comic strips, comic books, caricatures,

cards, logos, and tattoos are his preferred forms of animation. Most of his artistic ability came from watching a lot of cartoons and taking a few classes here and there. His most beneficial class was a figure drawing class he took at Rancho campus. Simple cartooning is his specialty, but his art style is very diverse, and he is always ready to create custom projects.

Stop littering on campus STEVE BOVI

ur environment is crying, yet we hear no voice. It is heartbreaking to see how we the students have allowed the Rancho Cucamonga campus to become. It is especially important to be concerned with our campus not only for the selfless reasons we should have, but for our own benefits. Trash makes the immediate DAVID WALKER surroundings ugly when students throw One of the many gatherings of their trash on to the parking lot. Where does the trash go? The answer lies where- trash on campus, this one is ever the elements take it, often ending up near the Planetarium. in our waterways and then to the ocean. The world’s largest land fill is not on land at all; it is in the ocean. “The Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch” is composed of two sections, the west and the east. The east portion is between California (1000 miles off coast) and Hawaii, and the west portion is between Hawaii and Japan. Just imagine you’re swimming along and see a cool looking odd shaped object. You like it so you begin playing with it. Everything’s cool, right. Having fun? Trying the object on your rostrum may have been the last activity that you consciously do; all you are worried about now is “How am I gonna get this thing off?” Sadly, you never do and could guess your fate from there. Trash that is simply thrown out the window has to go somewhere! As it rains, the trash is washed down storm drain and channels to the ocean. If trash does manage to stay on land, the same dilemma could take place to a curious animal innocently frolicking. Why do other creatures have to suffer for our negligence? Do they not have a right to life just as we do? If individuals who are pursuing a higher education act so inattentive, one could only imagine how the rest of the population is going to act. To simplify it, literers should drive next to waste and recycle bins which are all over campus, and clean their cars there. Make mommy nature proud!

aziness is a powerful tool. Being lazy spawns ideas for convenience everyday. It created great inventions such as the automobile and the vacuum cleaner. On the other hand, laziness can also be used to do evil. Just ask the non-smokers of Chaffey. The pavement of our campus is literally being covered with cigarette butts. Students who sneak in a quick smoke seem to be losing interest in hiding their habits. They are foregoing the walk to the nearest ashtray, and it is becoming a problem. The VSS bench area has two trash cans and two ashtrays, yet there are still cigarette butts all over the ground. In some cases, I have seen butts on the ground less than one foot away from the ashtray. This is terrible,

and annoying. Smoking cigarettes is the right of all American adults. However, smoking is a privilege when speaking in terms of location. In Rancho Cucamonga, there are now several smoking bans. You may even receive a ticket for smoking by your car. Several reasons for this exist, but the most prevalent is the environment. A single butt may not seem like much, but there are 20 in a pack. Eventually, the problem will increase to an outrage. People have spoken up before, and history has a way of repeating itself. As a smoker myself, I do not want to get punished for other people’s thick-headed behavior. Here is a scenario that we all love. The protagonist of an action flick walks around a corner. He sees the villain’s henchman. He takes one last drag of his cigarette. He drops the cigarette on the floor, steps on it, and then takes matters into his own hands. Fun; right? There is just one problem: that guy is not you. Do not ruin smoking for everybody else. Find an ashtray.

Don’t let state cuts put your dreams on hold.

Hurts so good DAN MCCARTY

ain is a funny thing. Without it, we would not know pleasure. To some of us, pain is pleasure. It allows us to temporarily escape our problems and focus ourselves on nothing more than the passing seconds at hand. Pain is honest, pain makes us stronger, and pain awakens the human spirit. Tattoos serve as a milestone for this increasingly accepted breed of humanoids. We choose to permanently secure our experiences and beliefs through sacrificing our hides for all, none, or a special some to see. Getting a tattoo is letting go as much as it is holding on forever. Love, you may ask. Maybe, but making the commitment is a lifelong choice. Once you go under the needle, you can’t go back, and once you go under the needle, you won’t want to.

Panthers struggle in back to back losses Penalties, turnovers continue to haunt Jeff Ranson

fter losing at home 28-27 in a nail biter to Grossmont College on Saturday, Sept 26, Chaffey fell apart on the road against Cerritos College 31-14 on Saturday, Oct. 3. The Panthers looked like a playoff contender in the first half of the Grossmont game. They got off to a strong start by scoring touchdowns in the each of the first three quarters. It was Antonio Guise Smith who scored on a 2-yard run to end the first quarter. Punt return specialist Daimon “Prime Time” Stafford brought down the roof when he took a punt to the house in the second quarter, making the score 14-0. Chaffey’s defense limited the Griffins to three punts, two fumbles, and a missed field goal in the first half. Quarterback A.J Springer played exceptionally well. He highlighted the third quarter with a 64-yard touchdown run that ignited the crowd. But it did the opposite to the Panthers. Grossmont woke up or Chaffey fell asleep allowing their opponent to score at the end of the third quarter. The Griffins proceeded to score three additional touch downs in the fourth quarter. The difference came down to a missed extra point attempt after the Panthers scored on a 29-yard touchdown pass from Michael Leonard to A.J. Tolbert. Chaffey had one last chance. With the

ball in their possession on the Griffin 2 2 - y a r d line and 15 seconds left in the game, Leonard threw into d o u b l e coverage, resulting in an interception that ended the game. Against the Cerritos Falcons, C h a ff e y stumbled throughout the entire game. With three fumbles, five pass interceptions, and a plethera of penalties the Panthers were their own worse enemy. The Panthers reenacted the Plaxico Burris incident. There’s a price to pay for eight turnovers. Burris got two years for his mistake. Chaffey got a 3-2 record for their inability to execute football fundamentals for four quarters. The next home game will be on Saturday, Oct 24 at 6 p.m. against Citrus College. Everyone is welcome to come out early and enjoy a free Tail Gate Party and salsa (the food, not the dance) contest.

lack of consistency continues to plague the Panthers as they dropped a 3-1 contest to Long Beach City College 3-1 at home on Sept. 30. The women dominated game one with a 25-13 win but let the visitors get the best of them the next three games, losing 25-14, 25-19 and 25-18. Games three and four were hard fought battles, but Long Beach made all of the big plays down the stretch to pull away. Head Coach Larry Chowen summed it up best. “We have been giving a lot of games away,” Chowen said. “As a team, we don’t know how to win.” “I think sometimes we just get confused,” freshman player Desiree Melancon said. Melancon added that anytime the opposing team goes on a small run, “we seem to lose confidence.” She believed the team will get it figured out by the time league starts. Her words proved prophetic. The Panthers opened up conference at home against San Bernardino Valley College Oct. 7. Everything came together for the Panthers as they sent Valley packing with a big 3-0 victory. The women came up big in the waning moments of Games 1 and 3, winning 25-21 and 30-28. Game 2 was no contest, as the Panthers demolished the visitors, 25-9. Chowen was proud of his team’s performance. “I knew they were capable,” Chowen said. “They all stepped up.” Freshmen came up big against SBVC. Lillian Maina had 11 kills and 13 digs, while Nicole Ethridge had 15 assists and Marylynn Thomann had five solo blocks. Freshman Carla Martinez made her presence known on defense. She had a mindboggling 18 digs. “I’m just glad we put everything together,” Martinez said. “We learned from our mistakes.” The Panthers took on Antelope Valley in their second conference game Oct. 9. Check out the Panther athletic page at www.chaffey.edu for results. The next home game will be Wednesday, Oct. 14, 5 p.m. against conference opponent Rio Hondo.

Cerritos water polo team has Panthers’ number Spencer Hirsch erritos College handed the Panthers their first loss in conference, with a big 13-6 victory Sept. 30. The Panthers kept it close in the first half, trailing 6-3, but were dominated in the second. Cerritos jumped out to a 10-3 lead in the third quarter and never looked back. Head Coach Jim Dopf was upset with his team’s performance in the second

C 12

half. Cerritos took clear advantage. “They capitalized on all of our mistakes,” Dopf said. Cerritos is a team to be reckon with this season, having been state champions last year. Sophomore Caitlin Ellis took the loss as a learning experience. She went on to say that we learn something new after each team we play. “They are really good swimmers and have been playing together a while,” Ellis said.

Freshman Ashley Dorrego, who led the Panthers with three goals, felt nerves got the best of the team. “We let our nerves get to us,” Dorrego said. “We need to work on getting our confidence up.” Cerritos took it to the Panthers again in the San Diego Mesa Tournament Oct. 3, beating them 13-6. It was the Panther’s lone loss in the tournament, going 2-1.The ladies took on Long Beach City College in their fourth conference game Oct. 7. It was a hard fought battle from start to

finish, but Long Beach scored a big goal with just under two minutes left in the fourth quarter to snag an 8-5 victory. Freshman Kadee Patterson led the Panthers in scoring with two goals. The loss gives the Panthers a 2-2 record in the South Coast Conference and an overall record of 11-4. The next home game will be Wednesday, Oct. 14 at 3 p.m. against conference opponent El Camino College.
