long with his wife Megan, art history instructor Quinton Bemiller has had to face every parent’s worst nightmare. Until recently, the Bemillers seemed to have three healthy daughters: seven-yearold Lillie, four-year-old Jade, and newborn Violet. However, this year Jade began to manifest health problems. “Jade would wake up in the middle of the night crying,” Professor Bemiller said. “During the day she would feel fatigue and her lower left leg was in pain.” Right before her fourth birthday on April 29, Jade was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia).

It’s at least fortunate to receive the diagnosis at Jade’s early age, because leukemia the most treatable for that age group, with a success rate of 85-90 percent. “Jade stays very confident and she never complained of having ALL,” Bemiller said. After being diagnosed with the disease Jade was accepted to the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, where she began chemotherapy and is now in the hands of Dr. Yues deClerck. “I want people’s support and even donations if people want to, but more importantly I want people to be aware of what leukemia is and what people can do to help,” Bemiller said. Jade will remain in treatment under deClerck’s care for the next two-and-a-half

years, until she is stable or cured. When she isn’t attending her therapy, Jade has fun by taking walks to the park with her father, helping cook in the kitchen, and accompanying her parents to fine art shows. “Jade barely started preschool when she was diagnosed, so we’re all excited for her to start school again,” Bemiller said. Anyone interested in supporting Jade is advised to visit Jadesfight.weebly.com or the “Jade’s Fight to Beat Leukemia” group page on FaceBook, where Jade’s story is regularly updated. Those who want to increase their understanding of leukemia can visit the web site for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society http://www.lls.org.

ASCC plans to push puffers to parking lots

STEVEN OLSON

he growing issue of smoking on campus has been carefully addressed by Gabriel Martinez, political science, before the governing board, student government and faculty senate, and is currently sitting on the desk of the policymaker. The current policy prohibits smoking in all campus buildings, including classrooms, hallways, stairwells, elevators, eating areas, lounges and restrooms, and within 20 feet of all campus buildings. The new smoking policy, presented by Martinez, would not create an absolute non-smoking campus, but rather expand the smoke-free zones. This policy would restrict smoking to parking lots and structures on the border of the campus. Martinez has put much effort into bringing this issue into the public eye, and has pushed for a policy change. He explained that California schools’ ability to create their own smoking policies is exactly what they need, the ability to produce a policy that represents the best

interest of the school. “Since we share the school with everyone who inhabits the school — students, faculty members [and] groundskeepers,” Martinez said, “we all share that space and we all share that air. So I wanted to make

sure this wasn’t just a student thing but an everybody thing.” Martinez has gathered over 590 signatures on his petition to bring change to Chaffey’s current smoking policy. Although Martinez is striving for limited smoking, he does not want to ostracize smokers. “I don’t want to say smokers are bad or demonize people who smoke,” he said. “I am not out to do that either. What I am out to do is show the concern for our fellow students, for the people who choose not to.” Although Martinez plans to move on to a university ASCC SMOKING COMMITTEE in fall of 2012, he The new smoking policy would restrict smoking to parking lots and is striving to better structures on the border of the campus. the campus and try-

Faculty and instructors are encouraged to join association AUBREY COLLINS

he Chaffey College Faculty Association (CCFA) hosted events Nov 14-15 to discuss with fellow teachers and faculty members the issues of education. Leaders of the CCFA urged college instructors to become members of the CCFA, in an effort to give teachers a voice in association decisions and to have a positive impact on student success and higher education. The overall goal of the CCFA is to build a strong association that will go beyond working conditions and address more urgent issues concerning student success and

campus organization. The association puts the needs of teachers and students first and seeks the highest benefit to Chaffey’s education. This will give instructors the opportunity to come together with fellow faculty members and discuss what issues are on their mind and how to effectively work them out. A membership can also greatly benefit teachers who choose to join. Not only do they have a say in significant decisions and have access to professional development opportunities, members also receive liability insurance, legal coverage, and discounted rates on home, life, and car insurance.

ing to plan for the best interest of all that attend. “If this gets lots of exposure, if the issue is driven and continues to be given [to] the administrators as an important thing to do, there is a possibility we can get it done by next year,” Martinez said. “We just have to show that it is important, that we want this.” Although the issue is controversial and may step on the toes of some, the policy is neither brand new nor made from scratch. “I don’t want to invent the wheel,” Martinez said, “I just want to take little pieces of existing stuff and put it to use.” Martinez has started a movement that will change the smoking policy as the students know it, and for better or worse he has an open mind and believes it will work. “Of course I would never say my plan is 100 percent perfect, but it is a big start and we can mold it as we continue,” Martinez said, “it could be accomplished over time. That’s the thing about policy making, it takes some time to iron out all the kinks but eventually you get something good coming out.”

Gulf War vet honors others returning home from duty

HANNAH COLLETT

o the average person, Veteran’s Day is a day off from school and a day designed to honor those who have served our country. To those who have been in the front lines or have had a family member serve, the day takes on a whole different and deeper meaning. Nancy Pilonieta, a student looking forward to graduating this May with her second associates degree, is one such veteran. Pilonieta served the United States Navy from 1995 through 2000. Some of her time was spent overseas during the Gulf War, and since her enlistment ended, Pilonieta has been actively involved in honoring veterans. “I am part of a military family,” she said, “and we can never forget the people out there putting their lives on the lines everyday for all the things that we have.” This year, Pilonieta was the only female guest speaker at the Chaffey Veterans’ Day celebration, which took place at the Rancho Cucamonga Central Park Nov. 11. “I consider it an honor,” she said, “I started four years ago and they always remember me. They know how important it is for me to be a part of it.” Pilonieta says her best reward is the

thanks listeners give her after she delivers a speech. Last year, a mother who had just lost her son gave Pilonieta a special thanks for her comforting speech. The mother gave Pilonieta a poem her son had written before he was deployed to Afghanistan. Although Pilonieta does not get as nervous when speaking as she once did, it is hard for her not to get emotional. Pilonieta prepares for her speeches by thinking of experiences that have meant a lot to her. She shares personal stories, from being consoled by a fellow veteran after her first speech, to a thoughtful letter she once received from a boy in junior high, thanking her for all that she does. “The heart and meaningfulness I put into my speeches really comes across,” Pilonieta said, “I don’t feel comfortable calling myself a veteran because I am so young compared to the older men who fought before me.” But, she continued, “Having these men brought to tears with what they saw and who they lost, [that] stays with them their whole lives. The differences in our generations don’t matter. We each know the sacrifices and pain. Very few things in life can cross generations that way.”

Engineering for success SARA GODING

he Engineering Club merges technical ideas and philanthropy. It’s not all fun and games for the club members, who took first place in a sumo-robot building contest at Cal Poly Pomona last year. It’s also about giving back and helping out. “We are thinking about finding a room in the math success center or maybe in one of the labs where we can help out students after thanksgiving break, right up until finals,” Gerald Santos, mechanical engineering major, said. The Engineering Club started last year when club president Michael Smick tried to sign up for such a club and discovered that it did not exist. “I tried to look for an engineering club on campus and there wasn’t one, so I thought I would just start it,” Smick said. This semester the club is drawing up plans for a trebuchet catapult that will be

assembled next semester. The trebuchet catapult is built with counter-weights, and was made popular by King Richard the Lionheart in the 1100s. Engineering fuses art, science and math, which allows students to use their mind in fun, creative new ways. “If you have an engineering degree you could do anything,” Smick said. “Basically everything you see that’s manmade has to do with engineering, from buildings, to bridges, to those little plastic toys.” One of the challenges engineering students often face is that Chaffey does not offer many classes on the subject. “In the catalog it states that you can get an AA in engineering, but you can’t,” Dianne Rodriguez, engineering major said. “There are about four classes that they don’t even offer.” The engineering program is on a sequence, which means that some classes are only offered once every four semesters. That means that if the class is full when it is time to register, students have to wait

two years before they can attempt to register for it again. Students who are interested in joining

or learning more about the Engineering Club can attend the meetings held every Thursday at 11 a.m. in PS121.

12 transferable units are invited to join the club, known as PTK. One of the major benefits is access to $36 million in scholarships and grants provided by universities and corporations nationwide. Members are also given the opportunity to make life-long connections and serve

the community to develop leadership and service skills. In addition, due to the current budget cuts, universities are scrutinizing applications and selecting not only students with a high GPA, but evidence of extra-curricular involvement, such as programs like PTK. Joining PTK is a win-win opportunity

for those students who are ambitious and want to stand out in the crowd. Students who have any additional questions or who are interested in joining should make the following contacts: Phone: (909) 529-1832 Email: PTK@chaffey.edu

A celebration among all cultures KATIE LOYA

t is widely known that Chaffey has students of many ethnicities, but it is rare to see them all together being elaborately celebrated. The International Education Week did exactly that. Students from all ethnicities, races, religions and culture gathered in the quad to celebrate, not only their own cultures and traditions, but those of their fellow classmates. As the conclusion of a week full of activities and events, the International Student Center hosted the grand finale on Nov. 16. A long precession of flags, musicians, students and faculty paraded from the SSA

building to the Campus Center quad. The group was quite the spectacle to students, and seemed to draw a great number of them to join in the celebration. Festively decorated with flags from many countries, the quad served as the perfect backdrop for the celebration that took place. The program was lively and full of color, as students from several different countries participated in a fashion show, cultural dances and musical performances. Saba Kazmi, the coordinator of the International Students Program, described the purpose for the event. “The International Education Week is initiated by the Department of Education and the Department of State,” Kazmi said, “all the colleges who have international students have been asked to celebrate.”

Kazmi also expressed the importance of International Students Day. “We are educating our students, faculty, and staff that we have international students,” Kazmi said. “It is beautiful to learn culture from them and we can teach them, too.” Overall Kazmi rejoiced in the success of the event and is eagerly awaiting next year’s celebration. The students were also enthusiastic about the event and eager to get involved. Many participated in a fashion show that included garments from different countries. The countries represented were grouped into regions such as Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, and South and East Asia.

Participants of the fashion show wore elaborate traditional garments from their countries and some even preformed a cultural dance. Rafif Aladib, Business Administration major, preformed a dance native of her home country, Syria. “I like to dance, I think it’s just part of our culture,” Aladib said. Though many countries were represented at International Students Day, a sense of unity hung in the air. Michelle Bernardino, a comparative literature major, feels the event was successful in uniting the students of different cultures. “It’s a good way of bringing all cultures together and a good way of understanding one another” she said.

rofessors and faculty members are risking their fashion and competing to have their hair shaved to help raise money for cancer. The Shave It For Cancer fundraiser booth was out receiving donations on Nov. 16, during the International Festival in the quad. Four staff members volunteered to have their head shaved by the group: Jared Ceja, director of Auxiliary Services, Nick Nazarian, interim executive director of the Foundation and Alumni Affairs, Greg Creel, head of Multi-discipline centers, and Justin Caudill, athletic equipment attendant. Two professors also volunteered for the cut: Dan Loomis, history and humanities, and Ryan Falcioni, philosophy. Six different jars were set out for the volunteers. Each was labeled with the name corresponding to a particular volunteer. Students, faculty members and professors, were then encouraged to donate money toward the volunteer that

they wished to see shaved. Of all the volunteers, Claudill seemed the most eager to win. “I want to win,” Claudill said, “I’m actually actively trying to get the student athletes to donate for me. My mom is a breast cancer survivor so this is something really close to my heart.” Lauren Perez and Marissa Dias donated $60 toward Caudill’s haircut. “My aunt passed away last year from breast cancer [and] we want him [Claudill] to win,” Dias said. This is the first year The Online to College Club has sponsored the Shave it For Cancer fundraiser. The winner will shave his head on Nov. 21. All money accumulated will be donated to The National Breast Cancer Society. “The purpose of the fundraiser is to raise money for those who suffer from cancer,” Jbran Sallah, Online to College president said. “Last month was Cancer Awareness month, we are a little late, but we just want to give back to the community.”

Theatre Club showcase: A Review

ANDRES VARGAS

Sergio Velasco, Kristin Hicks and Sean Hughes from the Theatre Club act out a scene from “Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolfe,” a story about a dysfunctional marriage.

SEVANNY CAMPOS

n a painted black box in the back of the theatre, some of Chaffey’s undiscovered talents gathered for a showcase of acting, singing and poetry. Hero Carlisle, president of the Theatre Arts Club, said, “The past few years I’ve been attending here there have been several theater clubs that have never done anything. Its important that the student body had a place, a place where they can speak their mind and express how they feel as artists.” The showcase was styled as an open mic, meaning anyone from the club could perform. While the idea of a theatre showcase was good, it was not well executed. The performances needed guidance. Glee Club was the first to showcase their talent with a performance of a medley from the holiday classic “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” While their body movement was rigid and stiff, their facial expressions were quite theatrical. The harmonies were in tune and the occasional solo was a treat. Although the Glee Club only sang one medley, they

were a spectacular opening. A reading presented by Michael Cooper proved to be a tedious, rude and disturbing poem, which was also more than three pages long. Cooper showed no enthusiasm or even understanding of the content of his poem. It was an uncomfortable situation. After Cooper’s poem made the audience uncomfortable, a heartbreaking performance by Corrine Adams brought the audience to tears. Adams beautifully sang and played a tune of heartbreak. It was one of the best performances of the showcase. The last dramatic scene was put on by a trio of actors, who performed a scene from “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe.” The scene featured a dynamic and dysfunctional couple, as well as an overeager provocative biologist, more than willing to have an affair with his friend’s wife. The execution of this play was very confusing, and left the audience with more questions than answers. The showcase ended with Carlisle reading a satirical poem about a killer snowman. Carlisle asked Adams to do back up vocals to his poem. It was comical and a great way to end the showcase.

New art club hits the scene VIOLET CANALES

ommunity involvement, with both art in general and art at the Wignall Museum in particular, is what the new curatorial club, (u)ntitled, is aiming for. President Sheila Taylor has many hopes for the new club. The main purpose is to cause more students to become not only aware, but also involved. Taylor hopes to see more artists come out of the community, and to see more recognition for Chaffey’s museum. “I want there to be more exposure of the Wignall.” Taylor said. Student workers at the Wignall came up with the idea of a curatorial club during the summer. Realizing that working there had brought them many opportunities that other students might not be unaware of, the Wignall workers have decided to get more students involved. (u)ntitled gives students opportunities to interact with professional artists and to learn about the great importance of art.

www.thebreezeonline.com

“Art is a form of communication,” Taylor said, “and it is the last honest form of communication, so more people should think about art and try it.” Art, art history, and how to collect and present art are just a few of the topics the club discusses. The first event that (u)ntitled has set up is called “Art 21.” It is a monthly screening of artists’ documentaries. The next screening will take place at Wargin Hall 102 on Thursday, Nov. 10 at 12:30 p.m. The club has already planned more events, including one called “Eat My Heart Out,” which is a student exhibition that will allow artists to share their perspectives on the dark side of love. The club is looking for art that is amusing, heartbreaking or even mocking of love. The deadline to submit art for “Eat My Heart Out” is Dec. 16. Accepted work will be displayed on Valentine’s Day in the CAA building, and Untitled will curate the exhibition.

Jones slams poetry competition

KIRA OCHOA

oets can be seen as painters. Their words are the paint and the audience is the canvas. When viewed like this, the campus became a masterpiece when students came together to compete in Chaffey’s Poetry Slam, held in the Students Activities lobby on Nov. 3.

Fashion design is their passion

“I think the event was amazing. All of the performers were interesting and passionate,” said Michael Cooper, Music Education and English major. “We had an excellent featured guest performer, Judah One.” Students were welcomed to partake in the slam’s competition. Competitors were judged on their style, performance, and creativity. Prizes, including Review merchandise and gift cards for the bookstore, were awarded to the winners, including first place to Eugene Jones.

Christina Noland took second place and Jad Delima was awarded third place. The event was hosted by staff of the Chaffey Review and Professor Michelle Dowd. Dowd also judged the competition along with Professor Charles Williams and student Ron Vivant. Cooper, also one of the competitors, said getting up and performing in the slam felt really good. “I had an idea for a first line and the rest just flowed out. We all need to eat together more often, and share our art!”

ashion sense comes at a price — the cost of fabric, designs, sewing machine, proper scissors, needle and thread. Fashion Design 45, a class on fashion fundamentals, illustrates these expenses in the projects it offers. Students in Fashion Design 45 have a sense of fashion that is unlike that of the majority. It is an art in their eyes and minds. Designs from Couture, Coach, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Michael Kors, and other famous designers race through their minds. They are aware and appreciate every stitch of every dress and bag, every hat and skirt. “I think what makes me different from others is my personal style; it is very eclectic so I’m not limited,” Tara Kim, Fashion Marketing and Merchandising major, said. Every designer is different, which brings about the great variety in clothing and culture. Students in the fashion design classes agree that fashion sense and their love for fashion did not arise in them by coincidence. “I don’t feel like I chose fashion, I feel like it chose me,” Christine Thomas, fashion design major, said. “I was always around it and I just drifted into it. My mom is crazier than me.” From a more experienced perspective, Wen Meng, Fashion Design professor, offers insight about going into the field of fashion design. “I love that it is very intellectual. I never knew how broad and detailed fashion design is,” said Meng. “I love how it is creative but that there is also science and engineering in it.” A great variety of reasons influence individuals’ interests in fashion design. Informing students about fashion from previous eras and taking the fundamentals into each project and presentation is the objective of the class. Kim and Thomas have strict ideas of the type of fashion they love most. “Right now specifically, I am very fascinated by Couture because of its luxury and the fact that it is all hand-sewn,” Kim said. “I love Runway Couture the most because of the time, effort, and dedication put into every stitch and every design, it’s just amazing,” Thomas said. The Fashion Club meets at the Chino campus Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m. in room 203.

Shhh... let them sleep in peace!

DESIREE TOLI

t doesn’t take a political science major, or even a history buff to recite the first amendment like a home address. From the first U.S. history class we take, we are taught about the rights we enjoy. The first amendment ensures us the right to free religion, speech and press, and even the right to assemble peacefully. Although Congress has kept its end of the bargain and has not set any laws to abridge our freedoms, the controversy of the “Occupy” protests happening nationwide shows us that these rights are being tested, and may be en route to being tampered with. The right to assemble peacefully has laid the foundation to critical movements in our history. Take the civil rights movement for example. Thousands of passionate protesters gathered to exercise their rights. The movement involved sit-ins and freedom rides that changed protesting forever. Taking a stand for equal rights eventually helped evolve society into the one we enjoy today. Most of the participants came in peace, others in rage, but all stood with a passionate hunger for change. And it was the first amendment that protected their stand.

N A T I O N A L

Unfortunately, the gathering of groups is not always peaceful. That has nothing to do with the motivation for coming together, or the place in which it occurs. It is simply the nature for things to be imperfect — for plans to go off course, and for passion to sometimes cloud reasoning. This is not to justify anarchy or violent protesting, but to explain why there should be no problem with the Occupy protests taking place. If it is our right to assemble peacefully in protest, then why are protestors being forced to shut down camps? This would be understandable if Wall Street protestors mirrored the violent anti-government protestors of Chile or Syria, but they do not. Occupy is actually quite the opposite of such protests. It’s even likely that law enforcement in such countries as Chile and Syria covets our American protestors’ tactics for their own country. If only a minority of people are resorting to rebellion during the occupancy, it makes no sense to force the majority of peaceful protestors to pay for some of their irrational fellow protestors. If each of us had to pay for our neighbors mistake, needless to say we would all be in hot water. It only makes sense that someone will

be taken to the highest level of frustration and exhibit rage if he or she were being forced to deal with a consequence of another’s mistake. So a few protestors get a little crazy, break some rules, and get a little out of hand. Big deal. Don’t take it out on all of them. Be grateful they’re not like the violent anti-government protestors of other countries, for goodness sake. Passion breeds change, and fans sparks into flames. The Occupy protests are innovative. The only problem is that there is no example on which the protesters can model

their activities. Everything is impromptu, and this is likely what scares people. Officials are afraid of what may happen because, let’s face it, they have never seen such innovation actually force change. It’s a feed them until their face turns blue, sort of approach. I say we should let the opposers learn to deal with it. Keep on pushing, or in the case of the Occupy protests, keep on camping until they begin to meet demands. Hush…and let Occupy Wall Street protestors sleep in peace. They might be dreaming of the secure right to peaceful assembly as we speak.

enn State University students angrily took to the streets to riot for a supposed hero who covered up child molestation for years. Students at Penn State University rioted on the evening of Nov. 9 after their legendary coach, Joe Paterno, was fired in the wake of a child molestation scandal. It is disgraceful that college-educated adults would rather riot over a setback to their football program than at the cover-up of sexual abuse involving children. Penn State’s board of trustees fired Paterno after it discovered he had knowledge of sex abuse that occurred in 2002 by former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Officials stated that a graduate assistant told Paterno about an incident where he saw Sandusky in the shower sodomizing a young boy. Paterno reported the heinous incident to the athletic director of Penn State, but nothing was done about the accusation.

Having more power than the athletic director, Paterno obviously should have done a lot more to make a police investigation happen immediately. Instead, he allowed Sandusky to go on with his disgusting behavior for nearly another 10 years. During those 10 years, Sandusky adopted children and ran a charity for at-risk youths. Who knows how many other children were victimized by this monster? Even though Paterno should be held accountable for not informing police, he should not be solely blamed. Everyone else who knew of this disgusting act and did nothing also needs to be held responsible. Students of Penn State need to recognize that their university leaders are accountable for allowing Sandusky to continue to sexually abuse young boys, but they would rather cause havoc on the streets because their head coach will not be able to finish the season. Sadly, this incident just goes to show what Americans believe is “really” important, and that is football.

defeat the Cougars from Los Angeles Southwest College 83-68 at the start of the Fullerton Tournament on Nov. 16. The team as a whole shot 31 of 60 from the field and had a total of 21 assists. Freshman shooting guard Kenny Morgan put on a dominant performance as he ended with 30 points while going 11-19 from the field. “He (Morgan) had a big game and really led us to victory,” said Klein. “But everybody

did their part and the points were all evenly spread among the players.” Klein, who at the age of 23 became the youngest head coach in Southern California when he took the South Pasadena High School coaching job, feels that another strong successful season is on the horizon. The Panthers are looking to keep their top spot as the most winning program in the Foothill Conference and make another trip to the playoffs. “We can do it,” said Klein. “Definitely.” The Panthers will next showcase their talents at the Neil Edwards Citrus Tournament at Citrus College from Nov. 25-27.

No basketball lockout here DANIEL ZALDIVAR

hile the National Basketball Association (NBA) is having its share of problems and dilemmas with the lockout situation, the Panther men’s basketball team is looking for a repeat of lasts season’s conference championship. This season’s squad is vastly different from the 2011 team as they gained seven new freshman players and 6’6” sophomore forward Darius McGee, a transfer student athlete from San Bernardino Valley College. Coach Jeff Klein, who is entering his 11th season as coach of the Panthers and his 27th overall, feels optimistic about this upcoming season. “I feel strong about this group of

Panthers conclude emotional season SEVANNY CAMPOS

he Panther football team ended its 2011 season with a 44-29 loss against Antelope Valley College Nov. 14. The team had hoped to even its their season record to 5-5 but the loss left the Panthers at 4-6 overall and a disappointing 1-4 in conference play. The season featured many highs and lows. Early on the team was plagued with injuries, losing their starting center, starting quarterback and several receivers. The Panthers started the season with only a handful of returning players, having to build nearly a new team during the offseason. However, they started their season with a 2-0 record with wins against San Bernardino and San Jacinto. “We played well early in the year but our scenario all year has been inconsistencies,” Coach Carl Beach said. “And if you take the whole season, with all the injuries we had and players we lost and our lack of depth, I think our inconsistencies cost us a few wins.” The Panthers fell to Saddleback in early September but were able to avenge the loss in a exciting overtime victory against Ventura College. In that win, linebacker Danny Reyes intercepted a pass and returned it 100 yards for the winning touchdown. Reyes was later named the Southern California Association Defensive Player of the Week,

based largely on that play. As the season continued the Panthers regained some of the injured players, including starting quarterback Charles King. However this did not seem to help as the team continued to struggle and lose games. One of the biggest difficulties the Panthers encountered this season was the loss of linebacker coach and Chaffey alum Stevon Thomas on Oct.31. The loss of their coach affected every player the team, who wore the No. 4 (his college number) on the back of their helmets for the remainder of the season. On the same week the Panthers lost their coach, they faced Long Beach City College on Nov. 5. It was an unfocused football team took the field on the last home game of the season. The loss was a messy one, and included seven turnovers. “We did not play well in the secondary,’ Beach said, “which is odd because we lead the conference in pass defense. But we gave up some big plays.” On Nov. 12 in their last game of the season the team travelled to Antelope Valley. The game was another messy one. The Panthers were close to putting the game away in the first quarter however they had two penalties which prevented them from scoring. “We played better offensively,” Beach said. “We moved the ball pretty well. We put pressure on them but we made some crucial mistakes. We missed opportunities

to put the game away and allowed them to get back in the game.” The end of the season is bittersweet for the Panthers, while they ended with a losing record, eight players were named to the All Central West Conference team for their hard work. Four players were named to the first team, including tight end Novian Watson, defensive end Gary Brunt, inside linebacker Danny V. Reyes and cornerback Vincent Minor. Second all-conference team honors went to running back Joey Leger, wide receiver Del Wilson, kicker Joey Cejudo and defensive tackle William Tupola. Practices and games are over and now the recruiting process for many of the sophomores begins. “We have their highlight tapes and we are going to try and move as many kids as we can,” Beach said. “This is community college. Our job is to help them finish this thing whether its academically or DARLEINE HEITMAN athletically. “ On a punt return from Chaffey’s 6-yard line, Vincent Minor ran 18 yards while Kirk Philbrook dives over a Long Beach City defender.
