TIWAYNE NORWOOD Catherine Page Harris eats with a chicken as part of Trans-species Repast in the opening of the Home ECOnomics exhibit at the Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art on Sept. 10.

Which came first?

A chicken on the table, eating watermelon no less, is not the first image that comes to mind when one mentions “Home Economics.”

The Wignall Museum of Contemporary Arts’ newest exhibit, Home ECOnomics, features 14 artists with some contributors displaying pieces drawn from on-going projects.

The exhibit opened Sept. 10, with live performances from the featured artists including demonstrations and even live animals.

The audience was given the opportunity of a hands-on experience with the intention of demonstrating the value of manual labor.

“I didn’t expect that Chaffey would have something this eccentric on these school grounds,” Klayrsa Clark, photography major, said.

The concept of home economics originated as a form of dealing with problems brought on by the industrial revolution, a fact often forgotten.

Environmental science has now

become just that and displaced it to a more domestic setting.

Through the juxtaposition of environmental science and traditional home economics, the exhibit demonstrates that the two are not, nor have they ever been, mutually exclusive.

According to Danielle Giudici Wallis, the independent exhibit curator, Home ECOnomics will be on display until Nov. 22 with more meet and greets with the artists and more live performances.

vernon matthews vanishes

Friends of recently missing student Vernon Cody Matthews are continuing the search to bring him home.

Matthews is 23-years-old, 6’2”, with long blonde hair and a beard. He went on a hiking trail in Pollack Pines, California but never called his parents to notify them when he returned.

The trail is notorious for misleading hikers in the national forest and is also known to be inhabited by dangerous predators such as bears and mountain lions.

The El Dorado County Sheriffs Office began the search and has enlisted the support of the U.S. Forest Service, civilians, aircraft, horses and dogs.

Several students are aiding in the search of their missing friend by sharing missing student flyers on Face-

book and by following community pages created to support the search.

There are even flyers posted around the Chaffey campus.

Matthews has impacted the lives of many people, and these students have not given up hope and continue to show their support for Matthews and his family.

The El Dorado County Sheriffs’ dispatch center has asked individuals to call 530-621-6600 if they have any information pertaining to the disappearance of Matthews.

Eat your way thru Constitution day

On Sept. 17, 1787, the Philadelphia convention signed the final draft of the U.S. Constitution.

Every year, colleges around the country celebrate this day with a variety of activities, both to educate students, and because in 2005 Congress declared that all schools that receive federal funding are required to.

This year, Chaffey held its federally mandated event in the Student Activities Lounge.

The speaker was Professor Abel Chen.

His speech focused on the 4th Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure without a warrant.

“How many of you were on campus during the lockdown and had an officer tell you to open your trunk? How did you feel about that?” Chen said.

He began with a demonstration, asking two student volunteers to pose as cops.

“What’s the best way to crackdown on illicit drug use? Should we search people who look suspicious? If you have no contraband on you then you

have nothing to hide,” he said.

“Right now my two officers are gonna search everyone. Is this the most effective way to do this?”

Chen pointed toward a student “at random” and told the two mock officers to search him. What they found shocked students. The student, 20-year-old Jake Baylor, an alleged brony and noted comic sans hater, was found with a bag containing a substance that resembled crystal meth.

The “meth” was actually made of sugar, and it was given to Baylor before the speech by Chen.

“Can the police use this bag as evidence?” he asked, “No. The exclusionary rule states that, any evidence seized illegally cannot be used against a subject to prove guilt.

Is the 4th Amendment just a legal loophole? Or is it your fundamental right?”

Many students attended the event to get free food. The refreshments consisted of Sun Chips, 7-Up, and Costco Turkey and Swiss Rollers. The “rollers” are a type of sandwich, simi-

lar to a wrap, but rolled up and served in horizontal slices.

Marisa Dufour, age 20, and a communications major, was one who couldn’t resist.

“The sandwich was good, but it could’ve used more meat,” she said.

Baylor — the purported criminal — agreed that the sandwich “needed more meat.”

Andrew Curtis: A T-ALL Battle

big bump on Curtis’s neck. He insisted for Curtis to go to the doctor to get a checkup.

After a month of Curtis bouncing back and forth between various doctor’s offices, he visited an otolaryngologist on Nov. 14, 2012.

An otolaryngologist is a specialist in the ear and throat anatomy. The doctor decided to take a sample of the bump on Curtis’ neck to perform a biopsy on it.

Curtis learned that he had a rare form of leukemia.

He was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic LeuMICHELLE MENES kemia, or T-ALL.

It has been a while since Curtis news. “I’m told that I have Cancer, I has been in a classroom environment. want to find out how to deal with it” For the past two years, he has been Since T-ALL progresses faster, battling against Leukemia. compared to other types of Leukemia, Almost two years ago Curtis and one of Curtis’ doctors insisted on gethis friends were hanging out. While ting him treated right away.

During the initial treatment prothey were eating, a friend noticed a

cess, Curtis stayed at the Loma Linda Medical Center.

“I couldn’t really sleep,” Curtis said. “Every three hours they took saples by through blood, and every one hour they checked for vitals.”

“For the first few months it was rough – it was hardcore chemo.”

Curtis said. “Nelarabine, Intrathecal Methotrexate, Cyclophosphanide and Pegaspargase.”

Chemotherapy treatment is a double-edged sword. It kills the cancer cells while damaging healthy ones.

“It was like a burning sensation throughout your vein, it was like it was on fire,” Curtis said. He was also experiencing the side effects of nausea.

One of the common side effects of heavy chemotherapy is hair loss.

“The doctor said when my hair fell off, it would grow back,” Curtis said in a amused tone. He asked his older brother to help shave his head.

“It was definitely odd at first, since I personally didn’t feel sick or anything,” he said. “It was once I started treatment when I would start to feel terrible all the time.”

But in the midst of this, Curtis’ family came together to support him.

“There was definitely a lot of family members showing how much they cared,” he said. Curtis’ grandmother from Guadalajara, Mexico, traveled thousands of miles to visit him.

Curtis, while in the hospital, developed an interest in helping people.

“When I was rooming with different people in the cancer ward, sometimes I would hear about their prob-

lems and see if I can help the person out,” Curtis said.

Initially before being diagnosed with T-ALL, Curtis wanted to major in history. However, since helping fellow patients in the hospital, he has decided to focus on a psychology major.

Curtis wants to enter the field with the hope of helping people through their difficulties in life.

Curtis, having passed the grueling part of chemotherapy, is able to return to a normal routine with some caution. Instead of being confined to a hospital room, Curtis helps his father’s business on the weekends and occasionally on the weekdays. He has also resumed going out with his friends.

Two years have passed since Curtis was diagnosed with T-ALL. He still has another two years of treatment before he enters remission.

At the moment, Curtis is still making visits to the doctors. Curtis recieves a checkup for his physical condition every month. He recieves vankristine chemotherapy once a month as well. Every three months, he has his spiral cord sampled to check the status of the T-ALL. He also takes oral chemotherapy in pill form.

When asked about how his outlook has been changed, Curtis answered with no hesitation.

“I definitely have an appreciation for things, for life,” he said, “like for food – things I wasn’t able to eat,” Curtis said.

Elliot Okirie: from omoku to riverside While most students struggle with the transition from high school to college, some students at Chaffey are struggling with a continental transition.

“I was sent to the U.S. so that I could have a better life. My father tells me that whatever I do, I should do with the intention of not coming back to Nigeria,” said Elliot Okirie, business administration major.

Being a first generation immigrant — from Omoku, Nigeria — Okirie was used to moving from place to place.

“I grew up in army barracks. My father was in the Nigerian Army so I moved around a lot. It was very fun, you make many friends and play a lot of soccer,” Okirie said.

At the age of 10, Elliot was one of the youngest students ever to enroll in the prestigious boarding school, AirForce comprehensive, Uyo. “The first couple months were horrible. I was beaten on the first day for things I didn’t do. I missed my mom, I was picked on until I was 13 because I was smaller,” said Okirie with a slight smile on his face. “All schools in Nigeria beat you, but in a military academy it happens a lot.”

In the academy, students were required to study four hours daily, both primary courses as well as military lessons.

“Studying in Nigeria is different Okirie applied to two universities than it is in America. I am still getafter school and wasn’t hopeful for ting used to note cards,” Okirie said. his chances.

Through hard work and dedication, Okirie was able to graduate from the wellknown military academy.

“By the time we graduated, we understood the school motto: ‘perseverance breeds success.’ Everyone passed the WAEC exams,” he said. “This was a first for my school. The professors thought we cheated.”

“The first thing I noticed were the roads,” he said. “They were huge, just the land mass dedicated to roads alone is amazing. My dad always complained that small trips took four hours at home because of poor roads.”

Okirie spent the time in between his arrival and the beginning of spring semester exploring.

“My first day of school I got lost.,” he said. “I walked around every inch of the campus, now I wonder why I didn’t just ask. It was because of my strong accent, and I didn’t know how people here talked to one another.

A walk in genevieve’s memory Genevieve Gutierrez was known for her “ambush hugs” and for inspiring others around her to appreciate the beauty in life.

A photographer, rockstar, chef, ultimate big sister to her brother Timmy, and world’s greatest friend, Gutierrez died May 26 due to complications from epilepsy.

To honor the former Chaffey student’s memory, friends and family will participate in the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Los Angeles’ “Walk to End Epilepsy” at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Nov. 16.

One in 26 people will be effected by the disease, according to Tracy Hiett, Guiterrez’ mother.

“I know more than 26 people,” she said. “That means that not only Gen will be affected, but somebody else in my life somewhere else will be affected by epilepsy.”

Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes repeated seizures over time.

It occurs when permanent changes in the brain cause it to be too excitable or irritable.

Gutierrez was anything but irritable in life. Hiett said that even as a child growing up, her daughter always put others before herself. ‘‘She went to school one day and she was talking to one of her friends,” Hiett said, “who was crying because she overheard her parents talking about having financial problems. So Gen went back to school with the money she had saved up to give to [the] friend’s parents. These were the type of things that she did.”

Gutierrez’ friends at Chaffey

agree that she always seized the opportunity to make others feel better.

Kyle Huffstatler, Psychology major, was one of her close friends. ‘‘No matter how bad of a day you were having, when you heard her laugh, you couldn’t help but smile,” he said.

Gutierrez was determined to not let her disability define her, another friend, university studies major Allison Harms, said.

“She never let epilepsy stop her from coming to school,” Harms said. “She would have a seizure Tuesday and was [back] at school Thursday.”

The Disability Programs and Services department has started a scholarship in Gutierrez’ honor. The scholarship is awarded to any student suffering with a disability and is given out every year.

This year the scholarship went to Travon Felton. For more information, contact the DPS department at 909652-6379.

Students interested in showing support at the Walk to End Epilepsy are welcome to participate with family and friends. They can join “The Gen Dare to Dream Team” at efgla. convo.net or email Hiett at tteg123@ yahoo.com for more information.

Students unable to make the walk can still show support by donating to the cause at the same address.

Police training through college Chaffey College prepares future criminal justice professionals for a changing status quo.

Recent events such as the Ferguson protests, the San Diego vice scandal, and the beating and asphyxiation death of Kelly Thomas have brought implacable scrutiny upon the issue of police misconduct.

Inevitably, the outrage in our public discourse has dissipated, giving way to discussions about reform, change, the status quo, and the damage done.

However, some of the most proactive steps to correct this social problem are already underway — right in front of the collective eyes of our student body.

Chaffey’s Administration of Justice program has grown in an almost furtive manner. Considerable attention is focused on ensuring that AJ majors can excel as professionals in a field where the landscape of public policy is constantly shifting.

As social needs and policy agendas change, so do the expectations of police officers.

“Law enforcement is continuing to evolve into a more community-oriented profession,” said Steve Lux, a 30-year law enforcement veteran and Campus Police administrator.

“In order to achieve this, officers must be educated in not only

law enforcement procedures but also in public relations and problem solving,” he said. “A college education provides opportunities to gain experience and improve in both these areas.”

Scholarly research from the Sage publication “Police Quarterly” suggests that while an officer with a college education may make the same number of arrests, the likelihood of a use of force incident is significantly lower.

While some may not see a college education as practical for police work, the skill sets gained in AJ courses are indispensable.

Administration of Justice Professor and 20-year law enforcement veteran, Baron Brown, recalls the value his college education brought to his encounter with an armed gunman. After recognizing key behavior traits in the suspect, Brown was able to verbally de-escalate the situation with no shots fired.

“The ability to accurately examine the behavioral profile of an individual allowed me to approach him in the most appropriate and empathetic fashion,” Brown said.

“Whether handling victims, or the mentally ill, you learn these things in a criminology or psy-

chology class, not in the academy,” he said. “You learn how to deal with them as a person, period.”

Students enrolled in an Intro to the Justice System course must complete a mandatory pre-course survey. This is a vital tool in measuring the biases and prejudices that students may have about the criminal justice system.

Balanced by quantifiable scalebased questions, the survey includes broader, more philosophical questions about the nature of criminality and constitutional rights that test critical-thinking skills.

The answers given in these surveys help AJ professors in gauging the pre-conceived views that students hold, ultimately aiding the education process.

In the long run, the academic rigor that criminal justice students face will promote high-quality policing and inoculate society from the fallout of police misconduct in the most fundamental sense.

By changing the culture of law enforcement, the issue is addressed systemically rather than incidentally.

According to a 2013 bulletin by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, many young adults have applied for law enforcement through the attendence of community college. Being affordable, colleges offer a streamlined approach to finishing training and studies for a fixed time and rate. With the rise in technology and communication, analytical skills are highly valuable, and a college education services are needed.

Here are some statistics pulled from two states selected for their average/medium-level of difficulty to apply. There were a total of 2,146 random officers chosen between Minnesotta and Arizona.

Opinion:

Oklahoma city officer is sexual offender On Aug. 21, 27 year old Oklahoma City Police Officer Daniel Holtzclaw was arrested for 16 fellony counts including rape, indecent exposure, forcible oral sodomy, sexual battery, stalking and burglary.

There are eight alleged victims in this case, with more sure to surface, as is the case with most sex crimes.

Police said Holtzclaw had been targeting black, middle age women, all with a history of drug or prostitution arrests. He would allegedly begin his hunt by circling a known low-income neighborhood, finding a woman who matched his criteria, and running her name multiple times through the system.

Next followed days and weeks of stalking, harassing, and committing unspeakable acts on these women, threatening them with arrest, planting of evidence, or physical violence. The GPS in his patrol car matched the driving

patterns described by each of his known victims, but there is a lack of DNA evidence.

He was caught when a report was taken from his latest victim, who did not have the history previously described, and thus had nothing to lose by coming forward.

He faces life without the possibility of parole, and if the courts have any sense, he will be served the maximum punishment. When first arrested, bail was placed at $5 million. It had since been dropped to $500,000, and he has been released to his parent’s residence for house arrest. He’s currently on paid leave.

Though he has insurmountable evidence stacked against him, he has pleaded innocent on all charges. Support, both financial and moral, is growing behind him, led by his sister Jennifer Holtzclaw.

Most people have not heard about this disgusting case yet, as

it has not made any national headlines, and no one has flocked to Oklahoma City to rally in support of the victims.

Cases of sexual assaults by police officers are all too common, and unfortunately, commonly ignored.

In 2009, Tara McMahon was raped in a car by LAPD Officer Luis Valenzuela, while his partner, Officer James Nichols, kept watch. She was harassed by Valenzuela and Nichols, told not to press charges, and threatened with arrests and further physical abuse. She reported the case in 2011 when arrested for a drug-related charge. This case did not surface until March of this year, because LAPD worked vehemently to quiet it.

Attention rarely follows unless charges are placed.

Where are all of the minority rights’ groups? Where are the women’s rights groups? But perhaps most importantly, where are

all the people who’s sense of humanity should be calling them out to the streets?

Even feminist blogs like Jezebel and Feministing have either glossed over the case or completely disregarded it.

American society is quick to move on the offensive when the government targets young black men. Now that these crimes by the monster Holtzclaw have been brought to light, the community should be creating a pillar of support for the many women he wronged. Why this has yet to happen is completely flabbergasting.

There need to be serious consequences when sexual assault by law enforcement is reported. Obviously, it’s in the hands of the people to demand that happen.

students on campus safety they spend hours on end at school, time that should be filled with learning new subjects, not watching over one’s shoulder.

“I feel safe enough coming here,” Mendoza said.

Tiba Alwahib, biogenetics major, also feels safe at school. As someone who has taken night classes since she began her college career, she feels secure in walking through campus when her classes let out.

Following last month’s lockdown, students, for the most part, do not feel any less safe coming to campus. They merely wish to see some changes to make sure the school is more prepared for future drills and real events.

Alwahib said she would like to see more speakers on campus that notify students about emergencies because she was in the quad when the lockdown was ordered, but did not know what was happening until another student told her.

“It is absolutely necessary students feel safe,” said Daniel Loomis, history professor. He said the campus lockdown served as a rehearsal for the school because it allowed everyone to see what worked with the response to the threat and what did not , giving the school the opportunity to correct itself as needed.

Campus Police Administrator Steve Lux said campus police is working to become a more visible presence. He would like to have Campus Police and students build stronger relationships and interact with each other. If students feel comfortable talking to campus police, their perception of campus safety can improve.

It has become the norm for schools all over the nation to go on lockdown because of threats to students.

“We can’t avoid it,” said Mendoza, “society is turning, and because of it, people live with fear.”

MICHELLE MENES Photo illustration of the fear women feel while walking on campus after dark.

There once was a time when people did not fear going to school for one reason: they knew they would be safe there. Today, however, that is not the case.

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security and Campus Crime Statistics Act Compliance, found on Chaffey’s website, states that in 2013 there was a total of 39 reported crimes, ranging from domestic violence to weapons law violation and theft.

While the number of reported

crimes is modest, it has influenced student perceptions of their safety on campus.

“It’s scary. I’m scared to walk alone,” said sophomore nursing major Daecha Bright. As a young woman, she said she does not feel secure while walking to her car at night after her evening class.

“A safe environment is a prerequisite for productive learning,” said postdoctoral scholar and research associate Johanna Lacoe of the University of Southern

California said in her essay Too Scared to Learn? The Academic Consequences of Feeling Unsafe at School. If students do not feel safe at their school, their academic success will suffer because they will be constantly worrying, thinking something could harm them at any moment.

“It’s crazy,” said Arnold Mendoza, “students should feel safe.”

Counter Culture, Rebel Art The sun was setting and the golden hour painted the best picture of the CAA lobby.

Tying into this semester’s theme for the Chaffey Review, the Counter Culture art exhibit organized by Kimberly Johnson and the Review staff held a reception in the Center for the Arts (A) building on Sept. 12. Over 200 people attended the event.

The exhibit featured community and student artists. The contributors rarely provided legal names, opting instead for clever pseudonyms to protect their identities, due to the taboo nature of their work.

“Many of the artists are felons.

What they do is illegal,” Johnson, Chaffey student and free lance photo-journalist, said.

Johnson is referring to the illegality of “tagging” a form of artistic expression that uses spray paint to create large murals on public property.

The most popular exhibit, according to attendees, was the spray-painted mural depicting a colorful scene featuring sharks and cartoon caricatures, spanning six panels covering a large wall.

Two — ‘Split Felipe’ and “Eksor” — artists created the nameless piece.

Only Eksor was available for comment.

Eksor was introduced to spray painting in middle school by friends of his older brother.

“Graffiti is from the streets by the youth — a pure art form,” said Eksor.

The exhibit also featured more than graffitti work. Stands for the artwork were gathered in the main floor, featuring pieces such as sculptures, photos, paintings and other combinations that kept the audience’s attention late into the night.

Being hosted by the Chaffey Review, it was also an opportunity for the class to engage with guests on the literary journal, selling merchandise, older volumes while also taking donations.

In addition to the art, a food and drink table provided guests with dry snacks and fruits, as well as hot and cold beverages. A portable popcorn maker added a quaint touch.

In case they missed it, students can still visit the CAA lobby to see the exhibit. The artwork will be available until Nov. 1.

Opinion 9

September 22, 2014

9/11: 13 years later As the 13th anniversary of 9/11 comes and goes, the time to ponder is upon us.

We no longer live in the immediate aftermath of the events of that catastrophic day, but in the realities of what that morning brought us. Immediately following 9/11, we saw shock, fear and the coming together of a nation.

For a brief period, there were no Democrats or Republicans, just a nation. That nation was bruised and worn, but was still one.

As time passes, things get forgotten. No one will ever forget where they were that morning, but few of us are anywhere near the same people we were before the buildings fell.

The new reality that has emerged is that there is a whole generation of children who will never understand what a pre-9/11 world looked like.

Long lines at the airport are the norm and not the consequence. The New York skyline — forever immortalized in pictures — is something distant and foreign to their understanding of what the world looks like.

Thirteen years ago, we were shaken. Ideas of safety were shattered.

The global perception of America was finally brought to the forefront and it was not appealing. Things were shifted in such a way that they could never go back to how they were before.

The past is never far. Even with the plans for the new World Trade Center, there will always be something

missing in the Manhattan skyline.

As the world ahead the new building that stands where the towers once stood will become the thing we always knew.

The scars will never go away. They will fade and for some they may even be forgotten but as much as we can-

not live in the past we also can’t forget how it has shaped us and will continue to shape us.

So the question is what do we do now? Some will say we change. Some will say move on. Maybe the answer is to adapt.

Thirteen years after 9/11 we can

finally embrace the truth that we no longer live in a 9/11 world, we live in the world that comes right after it.

The only question that is left is what we will make of it.

‘No No: A DocKumentary’ clears fence

Dock Ellis (left) talks to his teammate in a cutaway to archival footage.

A “no-hitter” (or “no no” for short) is when the team is unable to get a hit off another. By researching the MLB’s record of no-hitters, it becomes evident that only skilled pitchers under the right circumstances perform such a feat. One, however, supposedly did it on LSD: Dock Ellis.

The film, “No No: A Dockumentary,” is an interesting perspective delivered through an entertaining and informative look into the life of the late pitcher Dock Ellis, who died in 2008 from liver failure. But by the time the documentary comes to the third act, it loses much of the energy from the beginning as it gets cornered into a by-the-number, rise-and-fall narrative.

Those who did not know anything about Ellis before the film will learn almost everything there is to know about this famed African-American pitcher. Even though he gained fame through his rise with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the late-1960s, the film shows what led him to enter baseball, chronicling his childhood up until he moved to the majors. Then, as the story moves to Ellis’ involvement with the civil rights movement, the film reveals black culture through the perspective of baseball, a great side-story to the well-known achievement of the iconic Jackie Robinson. Who knew there was a movement about players having

curlers in practice? On top of all that, Ellis was supposedly big enough to reach the popular culture at the time, as mentioned by individuals such as Ron Howard or the late Johnny Carson.

Also, he was high during most of it — a lot.

Then it tells of the fateful game, and it’s one of the film’s most entertaining moments, thanks to archived footage and anecdotes by old teammates. The documentary excels in storytelling through the editing. With maybe a few moments that linger on certain shots, “No No” moves with great pacing that’s entertaining to follow as

Who knew there was a movement about players having curlers in practice?

Ellis provides narration incorporated via an older interview recording. The film plays experiments with the different film stocks, and since Ellis had played for about a decade, his past is shot in different film stocks. This is all edited to serve a greater narrative purpose, whether it’s for revelations in the plot or to simply mimic the effects of a busy game on LSD. It becomes sad on a narrative and viewing level when the energy and the fun of the first two-thirds is weighed down by the remaining third, dealing with Ellis’ drug addiction.

This part of Ellis’ life has been told countlessly in other professions. It’s entirely predictable what happens in the end.

It’s not a complaint on the content, just a slight tonal imbalance. It doesn’t feel like the filmmakers used

the beginning to trap audiences, but the final third strong arms the narrative and audience into a rushed redemption. It’s as if the creativity of the editing had to end, because the filmmakers thought the end had to be serious for a serious topic. It almost undercuts some of the actual redemptive quality as the film wants audiences to know that he’s done bad things.

It’s a rise-and-fall to the teeth.

For a first-time feature, director Jeff Radice did a fantastic job in telling Dock Ellis’ story, using the resources and good will of his subjects to make the most of the film. The documentary is notable for being completed through its kickstarter campaign in 2012, and it’s evident in some of the polished editing and graphics where the money was spent. It was well spent, and based on what was shown, Ellis would’ve dug this documentary.

The Good: An entertaining, fun look into pitcher Dock Ellis. The first two-thirds are fun and energetic.

The Bad: The final third lacks creative energy in service for biopic.

The Weird: Dock Ellis and rapper Ice-Cube look really similar. If they ever make a biopic — they know who to call.

The Maze Runner (James Dashner)

Popular dystopian fiction novel “The Maze Runner” tells the story of Thomas — a teenage boy trapped in a post-apocalyptic dwelling known as The Glade with absolutely no recollection of anything other than his own name. The Glade is surrounded by a huge maze filled with deadly parasites known as Grievers and there seems to be no way out, as the “gladers” have been trying to solve the maze for two years. Thomas decides to become a runner. A runner’s only responsibility is to find a way out of the maze. Unfortunately, often times runners don’t make it out of the maze alive. Director Wes Ball took on the film adaptation of “The Maze Runner” as his first major motion picture directorial debut with actor Dylan O’Brien (“The Internship”) playing the role of Thomas. “The Maze Runner” just made it to theaters Friday, Sept. 19.

Gone Girl (Gillian Flynn)

Hope, disgust, loyalty, and deceit are all emotions a reader can expect from the additive debauchery that is “Gone Girl.” Author Gillian Flynn unravels the story of Nick and Amy Dunne and the events that lead up to Amy’s mysterious disappearance on her and Nick’s five year wedding anniversary. Upon further investigation of Amy’s disappearance, the police soon discover a diary that Amy kept all five years that she and Nick were together. The contents of the diary soon paint Nick as a prime suspect for Amy’s disappearance, but not everything is as it seems. Director David Fincher (“Fight Club,” “The Social Network”) was an appropriate fit to bring the dark and twisted narrative of “Gone Girl” to the big screen.

“Gone Girl” premiere’s Oct. 3 starring Ben Affleck (“Runner, Runner”) as Nick Dunne and Rosamund Pike (“Jack Reacher”) as Amy Dunne.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay (Suzanne Collins)

In the third and final installment of “The Hunger Games” Trilogy, lead character Katniss Everdeen is portrayed as the ultimate heroine leading the rebellion against the powers that be who seek to oppress those who reside in the Districts of Panem. Life after winning the Hunger Games has not been a bed of white roses as President Snow, leader of Panem, implied. Now, after narrowly evading the grasp of the Capitol in “Catching Fire,” Katniss must finally take her place in the rebellion and become the Mockingjay. Suzanne Collins’ epic trilogy first premiered in theaters in March 2012 with Jennifer Lewis (“American Hustle”) starring as Katniss Everdeen. Director Francis Lawrence’s (“I Am Legend”) continues to carry out his vision in “The Mockingjay Part 1,” the final film installment of the The Hunger Games Trilogy premiering Nov. 21.

Fifty Shades of Grey (E.L. James)

Over three years after its publication date, E.L. James’ “Fifty Shades of Grey” still remains everyone’s written guilty pleasure. From the moment Anastasia Steele stepped into Christian Grey’s office at Grey Enterprises, he was instantly drawn to her. After that one encounter, neither of their lives was ever the same.

From the novel that has to be read to be believed comes the highly anticipated cinematic portrayal of “Fifty Shades of Grey,” premiering Feb. 13, 2015. With singer Beyoncé gracing the background track of the teaser trailer with a seductive remix of her hit “Crazy in Love,” the film adaptation has already gained much hype.

Anything less than extraordinary would be a disappointment to movie audiences and readers alike. Director Sam Taylor-Wood is the brave soul tackling the project. Actor Jamie Dornan (“Marie Antoinette”) will be starring as Christian Grey and actress Dakota Johnson (“21 Jumpstreet”) will be playing Anastasia Steele.

Athlete Profile: Travis Sapp

The combination of dedication, faith and curiosity drove Sapp to a future he had never planned on.

This summer he went to the Philippines with his church to provide relief after a series of typhoons hit. Sapp and his team met people who had never seen cell phones, but built bricks with their bare hands.

“They are living in four walls that they construct out of a palm tree and some sheet metal with a tarp covering as a roof,” Sapp said.

Despite the living conditions, he said he had never seen a more hospitable group of people. After the original planned construction was over, they said MICHELLE MENES their goodbyes and headed Travis Sapp holds his bible, knives, and water polo ball to the airport only to find that their flight was cancelled because of another typhoon.

For Christmas, when he was four, They were unable to leave for an water polo player Travis Sapp asked additional four days and the remainhis mom for a globe of the world. der of their prolonged trip would “Immediately, I memorized every be spent in what Sapp described as country and every capital and every equivalent to a Motel 6. state in the western hemisphere.”

On the seven-hour plane ride from Guam to Hawaii, Sapp was sitting next to a man in the Air Force. The delay and this flight changed the trajectory of Sapp’s life.

“I was privileged to speak with him about how the military has changed him and where it’s getting him in life,” Sapp said. “It got me thinking ‘where am I going with my life?’”

He decided that he wants to join the Navy.

He never thought about joining the armed forces before that plane ride.

When it comes down to it, going to the Navy was simply something that he felt called to do. His lifestyle as a self-proclaimed “redneck” translates well to his future life in the military.

“I actually carry an axe, a machete and two fishing knives,” Sapp said. “If you give me a piece of plywood and a few screws I’m probably going to make some awesome invention that doesn’t work. That’s what we [rednecks] do.”

Shortly after this year’s Christmas he could be landing in a country he hasn’t memorized.

“Going and being stationed in a foreign country like Guam, Australia, or Tokyo, that’s an opportunity to travel

to me,” Sapp said. “I do hope for that.”

Sapp is currently at Chaffey to finish out this water polo season. He has no intention of using his education as a means to a career. If it wasn’t for water polo, he might be at basic training right now. There are a few reasons why he is still in Rancho Cucamonga.

“I’m loyal to my teammates,” Sapp said. “I made the commitment that I was going to play, so I’m not going to back out on them.”

“I see it as a great training opportunity [for the Navy].”

Now that this will be his last season after playing since the eighth grade, Sapp lists his three priorities: Family, military, and fitness.

“My family supports me, fitness gets me into the military, and the military is my career,” he said.

Sapp believes that passion drives people and it is the passions in both water polo and the military that keeps him going.

“If I do it here, I can do it there,” he said. “Circumstances change, but the reasons that I do it are still the same.”

Rice took it too far; nfl didn’t take it far enough?

Hiding the bruises on her body, she said he never hit her. Not able to hide them any longer, she said it was an accident or that she shouldn’t have provoked him.

People tell her she should leave him and report it to the police because he is just an ordinary man and has no right to lay a hand on her.

But what happens when he is not just ordinary man, but a professional

football player in the NFL? On Feb. 15 Ray Rice, former Baltimore Ravens running back, and his now wife Janay Palmer were both arrested on assault charges because of a fight they had at a hotel. Less than a week later, TMZ leaked a video that shows Rice dragging Palmer out of an elevator according to SB Nation.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell decided to suspend Rice from the

NFL for two games after the elevator video was made public. The punishment was widely criticized because it gave the impression the NFL took domestic violence lightly while giving harsher punishments to players who test positive for substance abuse, as stated by The New Yorker.

Seven months after the first video was released, the SB Nation said a second video was released by TMZ that showed Rice knocking his then-fiancée unconscious in the elevator, leading the team to release him.

The official reason for his contract with the Ravens being terminated was because he had not been completely honest about everything that had happened that evening with Palmer.

That same day Rice was suspended indefinitely from the NFL. After public backlash, Goodell had to decide what to do, not just about Rice’s situation, but also with the entire league when it comes to issues of domestic violence. Therefore, Goodell wrote a letter to the 32 NFL team owners outlining the modified repercussions for domestic violence.

ESPNW outlined the modifications for any NFL personnel under the personal conduct policy. For a first offense, there will be a six-game suspension without pay and the length of the penalty will vary, depending on

the specifics of each incident. If it is someone’s second offense, the individual will face a lifetime ban from the league.

The individual could petition to be allowed back into the league after they have been gone for a year, but there is no guarantee they will be allowed back.

The public response has varied since Rice was arrested. Some people claim the NFL should do much more when it comes to domestic violence because the players are public figures, idolized to by young NFL fans. Others, including Rice’s wife, claim the punishment was too severe because Rice is generally a good man who made a mistake.

“I feel he shouldn’t have hit her,” said Brandon Fletcher, linebacker for the Chaffey football team. “I would never hit a girl.”

Fletcher said the situation is made more difficult because NFL players are public figures. He pointed out they serve as models, their actions show kids what is acceptable to do and what is not.

“They say it is not his first time hitting her,” Fletcher said. “Maybe his punishment is what he needed.”
