No one got in, no on got out.Campus Police said that on

Thursday, Aug. 21 at approximately 1 p.m. Jonathan Nicks, a 21-year-old student, reported a bomb threat at the college’s Rancho Cucamonga campus. They said he contacted authorities, reporting a suspicious white man wearing a vest with anti-government patches, holding a metal cylindrical device suspected to be a bomb.

The campus was put on lockdown in response to the threat. Students were told to head to the nearest classroom and to follow law enforce-ment directions.

“I got to school and I found a parking spot in less than five min-utes. That’s when I knew something was wrong,” Mark Reotutar, commu-nications studies major, said. “I heard that there was a bomb threat and that the school was on lockdown. I started

running.”“I was coming from the library

and I saw a helicopter, and I heard over the helicopter speaker, ‘go inside, this is not a drill,’” Aisha Daw-son, economics major, said. “I was freaking out. I started trying to open all the classroom doors. I didn’t know what was going on.”

Confusion was the primary feed-back from students in regards to the lockdown. There was no emergency

message over the school’s intercom or any other notification to students.

“I didn’t get any messages or any-thing,” Ashley Gose, a new student studying nutrition and food science major, said. “Some kind of text mes-sage alert system would be very use-ful for emergency situations. To keep students informed. Communication to students is vital.”

Several communi-cation challenges were evident during the investigation of an al-leged bomb threat and concurrent lockdown on Aug. 21 at the Ran-cho campus.

On Aug. 28. at 11:54 a.m. , Dr. Henry Shannon, president of Chaffey College, sent out an email to faculty and staff in response to the events surrounding a campus lockdown the week before.

In an excerpt from the email Shannon said, “Despite prior plan-ning, this was a failure, and we are taking immediate corrective action. We are also in the process of review-ing communication strategies, classroom and office lockdown measures and traffic control protocols to ensure the safety of students, faculty and staff.”

“We’ve got a huge issue to take care of and we’re going to take care of that,” Stephen Lux,

administrator of campus police, said.During a debriefing that followed

a scheduled Faculty Senate meeting on Aug. 28, campus administra-tive-level representatives and Cam-pus Police officials, made themselves available to offer explanations and answer questions regarding the chain of events that occurred during the lockdown.

“There are some basic concerns that faculty have, and that is probably reflected in other people’s concerns,” Ardon Alger, fine arts professor and Faculty Senate president, said.

“Those concerns are centered around delaying information and feedback” —concerns raised in part because many individuals inside and outside of classrooms were still unaware of the lockdown and the potential danger or alleged threat.

“You are gonna get an insight into how things transpired and why things were done the way they were,” Lux said.

Darryl Seube, lieutenant of Cam-pus Police, was on campus that day.

According to Seube, at a little before 1 p.m. on Aug. 21, a man called 6911, Campus Police dispatch, and reported seeing a suspicious individ-ual on the Rancho campus.

The alleged suspect was described as a white male with dark hair, wear-

ing a vest with anti-American slogans on it, and allegedly carrying a black backpack with wires and some sort of silver cylindrical object sticking out of it, including flashing lights.

“Whenever there’s a bomb threat, we look at that suspiciously,” Seube said. “Bomb threats are not uncom-mon. This one seemed legitimate.”

Secondly, unbeknownst to Chaffey Police, the same caller also contacted 911, which put another set of pro-tocols in motion through the San Bernardino Sheriff ’s Department.

Under its protocol, the sheriff ’s department did not inform Chaffey Police that sherriff ’s deputies were coming to the Rancho campus and preparing their own tactical situa-tion.

Campus Police conducted an initial interview with the caller just a few moments after the threat was reported.

San Bernardino Sheriffs conduct-ed a second interview with the caller when they arrived on campus. This occurred in the northern lot near the CAA building.

“Once the first sheriff ’s deputy got here, then a supervisor showed up and then every deputy available is rolling up here,” Seube said. “They started preparing for a tactical situa-tion. The key is to get set up as soon as possible to provide for the safety of everyone involved.”

At approximately 1:15 p.m. a call was placed by Seube to Cal State San Bernardino Dispatch to advise them that he was placing the Rancho cam-pus on lockdown.

At that point dispatch was sup-posed to send out an alert over the emergency phone system on campus.

“I was advised by Cal State that

they were unable to do it,” Seube said. “The system didn’t work. I don’t know why it wasn’t operational.”

During the ongoing investigation and activity surrounding the alleged bomb threat, classes were in regular session.

Some faculty members had called or emailed each other trying to de-termine what was actually happening on campus.

Other students, faculty and

staff were traveling to and from their scheduled destinations, many unaware of what could have been a life-threatening situation.

Seube explained that there are other redundant systems utilized in the event that alternate alert systems fail.

He advised the first arriving he-licopter to make an announcement over the loud speaker that the cam-pus was on lockdown.

Lux explained that they couldn’t simply send out all of the information that was coming in, because it might have jeopardized the people involved and potentially escalated the situa-tion.

At 4:05 p.m., police declared an “all clear” via an emergency text, and officers began evacuating the cam-

pus.A large traffic jam formed due to

the simultaneous release of the entire campus all at once and the fact that vehicles were being checked by law enforcement as they left the school.

Later that day the initial caller, Jonathan Nicks, a 21-year-old student who had reported the bomb threat, was taken to Rancho Cucamonga Sheriff ’s Office and interviewed fur-ther. The Sheriff ’s determined that Nicks had made a false report. That evening he was placed under arrest and booked for “felony bomb threat.”

Naturally, not all of the questions regarding the communication issues could be definitively answered in one debriefing.

Lux said they are looking for ways to improve, and he is looking forward to creating more emergency training opportunities, not only for Campus Police but for faculty, staff and stu-dents.

“The Chaffey Campus Police will be attending San Bernardino Sher-iff ’s active shooter training program every time they offer it,” Seube said.

“It is so important for us to ex-change ideas,” Lux concluded. “We’re always going to err on the side of caution for you and always going to err on the side of safety for students and staff. The door is always open at Campus Police.”

Open Door Lockdown MeetingFeaturesSeptember 8, 2014

MICHELLE MENESChief of Campus Police Darryl Seube, Administrator of Campus Police Steven Lux and Faculty Senate President Ardon Alger listen to questions from faculty

during the faculty senate meeting on August 26, 2014.

“Despite prior plan-ning, this was a

failure, and we are taking immediate corrective action.”

...a black backpack with wires and

some sort of silver cylindrical object sticking out of it...

“The door is always open at Campus Police.”

Waiting, waiting, and more wait-ing that seems to sum up the first few weeks that students can expect from Chaffey whether waiting in line for books or trying to find a parking spot but a line that sometimes gets ignored should be added to that list and that is the lunch line.

With a new system in place that now charges students before receiv-ing their food instead of vice versa has more students waiting in a longer line to receive their lunch. “While the new system may not be not be a bad thing,” said John Carrillo an un-decided major, “I believe the old sys-tem was faster and more efficient.”

The reason for this new system is to make it easier and faster on students to receive there lunch. “We brought in this new changes to allow students to be in only one line now,” Maria Earlywine Manger at the Chaf-fey cafeteria said, “instead of having to wait in a line for food and another line to pay for your food.”

Another reason people suggest change is for monetary purpose.

“I think they made this change so people can not just order there food,” said Donavan Swayne, undecided major, “and leaving without taking there food and paying.”

While there may have been some

of the reason for the changes there were more reason then just that alone.

“There are times when a student

may forget their wallet or not know if they have a money on there card,” Earlywine said, “not being able to pay for there food and that food just gets wasted so we would rather use the money on new registers to help students get there food faster.”

To avoid the possibility of a long wait to get something to eat. First and foremost if possible try to avoid the cafeteria during lunch hours if you are in a rush to get something to eat. Some people have access to vehicles and can go out to lunch with

friends but for other students there are a few alternatives on campus for a quick bite to eat. The Panther Express sells a variety of food to help ease the midday hunger, another alternative while not providing the healthiest options can be the vending machine for a quick snack.

Michael Brown is dead. The community of Ferguson, Missouri is wounded and the credibility of the department responsible is on life support.

Since the Ferguson teen’s death on Aug. 9 at the hands of Officer Darren Wilson, demonstrations have chal-lenged authorities with protesters demanding police accountability and an independent investigation into the shooting.

According to the most recent autopsy, Brown was shot six times, in a pattern that led from his right hand to his arm, shoulder, eye, jaw and head. He was unarmed at the time.

Adding to public distrust, Fergu-son P.D. admitted to failing to file an incident report, and later did so 10 days after the shooting, albeit with only basic victim information, and no actual incident details articulated.

The Ferguson protests have been supplanted with vast law enforce-

ment, manpower, and a wide array of technology, including camou-flage-clad S.W.A.T. officers utilizing LRAD sound cannons, BearCat ar-mored vehicles, tear gas, police dogs, and modified M-4 carbines.

Some demonstrations have been marred by vandalism and violence. As the standoff between police and protest-ers escalated, some local businesses were looted, and a McDon-ald’s restau-rant, where two journalists were arrested days before, was raided for its supply of milk — a precious commodity among those looking to neutralize the caustic effects of tear gas.

In regard to the violence afflicting

the protests, Chaffey administration of justice professor and 20-year law enforcement veteran, Baron Brown, explained the drastic repercussions of allowing violence to take hold.

“A violent demonstration dis-suades and terrifies those who are uninformed to the plight of the

downtrodden, reinforcing any negative thoughts and stereotypes they may have had,” Brown said.

Referencing the initial report released by the Ferguson P.D. with no incident details, he said, “It is an unusual move, however it is not illegal by state law and depart-

ment policy.”In an effort to diffuse tensions and

reach out to the community, Missouri State Highway Patrol Captain and Ferguson native Ron Johnson was appointed to take control of police

proceedings. Johnson employed markedly dif-

ferent tactics, including leading the protesters in a march firsthand and ordering officers under his command to remove their gas masks. This significantly deescalated both overt violence and latent tension between the two groups, helping to ensure a safe discourse.

“I think the presence of AR-15’s and military vehicles serves the greater net function of squelching dissent,” Chaffey Philosophy Pro-fessor Dr. Ryan Falcioni said. “This response does not seem to be con-sistent with a society that values freedom of speech and the right to dissent.”

The positive impact that John-son’s outreach had on the protest atmosphere was largely overshad-owed by the department’s strategic release of both Officer Wilson’s name

and surveillance footage identifying Michael Brown as the perpetrator of a strong-arm robbery, further under-mining the department’s credibility.

In reference to the militarized response to the protests and how it might bear similarities to overseas operations, Chaffey student and Iraq War veteran James Sawyer said, “Departments should be working to improve survivibility, rather than adding to their already considerable offensive capabilities.”

“(The M-4) is a weapon whose sole purpose is engaging and neutral-izing hostile forces from a distance. I trained with this weapon for six years.” Sawyer explained that Stan-dard Operating Procedure in a crowd situation would be to egress after status checks and reports.

“You can’t use a weapon like that without running the risk of collateral damage, regardless of your proficien-cy,” Sawyer said. “In my opinion, it would appear the Ferguson Police Department are using the wrong tools for their mission.”

Ferguson and chaffeyNewsSeptember 8, 2014

When it comes to a communi-ty college degree, students often refer to it negatively as “just an A.A.,” or “just a certificate.”

Nick Nazarian, director of alumni relations, thinks that kind of attitude about Chaffey is wrong.

“There is no ‘just’ about Chaf-fey College,” he said. “The things that are true about a master’s de-gree are true about an A.A. degree or a certificate. All accomplish-ments should be celebrated.”

Through-out the years, the college has produced many students who have gone on to achieve great accomplishments. Nazarian passionately expressed that there is an obligation to share the stories and legacies of the college.

Author Beverly Cleary of the famed “Ramona Quimby” series and Hobart “Hobie” Alter, found-er of Hobie Company, are a few of the alumni students who have gone on to make a name for them-selves.

Musician Frank Zappa studied for one semester early in his music career. It was clear, when speak-ing with Nazarian, that the good alumni do goes beyond Chaffey and far beyond the Inland Empire.

“It’s important that [current students] interact with the alum-ni,” he said, “That way we keep alumni connected.”

The Alumni office hosts cam-pus activities and special events to help integrate the alumni with the current student body.

Along with attending alumni events, former students continue to assist on campus. Some volun-teer with student activities while most serve on advisory boards for various departments.

“Alumni volunteer to make sure that every single student has the opportunity they had,” Nazarian

said. Many alumni make donations to the college.

The purpose of the alumni events and awards is to inspire current

students and give them an exam-ple of what is possible.

“Never give up,” Jeanne Batista, alumna and Chaffey College Foundation Board member, said. “Sometimes it’s hard to get a course or buy your books, but keep going.”

Batista assures that persevering through the difficult times is well worth it.

“Be proud of your time here,” Nazarian said. “Chaffey doesn’t give degrees away — it’s all earned.”

A donation drive for school supplies is being held now through Oct. 16 for the Inland Em-pire United Way organization.

The organization is invested in bettering the lives of the commu-nity through education, health, and financial stability.

Donation boxes will be located in the Rancho Campus Bookstore, Student Activities, IS Building, President’s Office, Fontana Admis-sions Office and Chino Admissions Office.

The drive is looking to acquire only new items such as crayons, scissors, paper, glue, markers, binders, etc. These donations can be brought to any of the three Chaffey campuses.

The college is creating aware-ness and encouraging students to partner with United Way to spread the message of community involvement — one pencil or bind-er at a time.

As troubling as the recent events in Ferguson have been, they do not solely be-long to Missouri.

This is your country.This is your city.This your police force.This is your tear gas.In some way this all be-

longs to you and to me and as appealing and American as it may be to sit back and watch events on television we all deserve better. Here comes the tricky part though. Knowing what one deserves and demanding it are two different things.

One of the saddest things any person can do in this life is know they deserve great things and be perfect-ly content with that truth being enough to keep them happy. Let’s not be absurd, this country has its issues. Democracy isn’t perfect and neither are the people who uphold it. What is perfect, however, is the ability that any person in this country has to change it.

Change is powerful. In our lifetime we have seen a black president take office running on the ideal that we actually can change things. The idea of anything but a caucasian male lead-ing this country was out of question not that long ago and yet change prevailed.

The arguments surrounding the events that took Mike Brown’s life are strong and dividing. Was Brown a saint? Maybe not. Did Officer Darren Wilson feel threatened? Could be. The reason this event is so powerful is beyond these two men though. In a town that is 60 percent black the police force only has three black police officers. In 2013, 483 black people were arrested. Contrast that to the 36 white arrests the same year.

Those numbers are startling, and as much they divide, they should also serve as a wake-up call. This is not a black and white issue. The idea that “all men are created equal” is one of the things that defines us as Americans.

During the protests a white, female, Meth-odist Episcopal pastor found herself shot with a rubber bullet. Pastor Renita Lamkin is not just local leader, she is Ferguson. She willingly put herself in harm’s way to defend the ideals she holds as true and worthy.

Think of every great American hero and they all share one common thread: they refused to leave things the way they were. Abraham Lin-coln, Martin Luther King Jr. and even Malcolm X all refused to just be OK. Sure, they took dif-ferent roads to achieve the end goal they were seeking and we could debate the merits of those

roads but one thing will remain: they demand-ed change.

It doesn’t end there though. As desirable as a peaceful resolution is, it isn’t always realistic. When the time comes to protest, do it like it’s going it of style.

A quick word of advice: you are going to piss people off and that is awesome. Making people think will almost always make them angry. It is worth it. Someone at some point in your life is going to tell you that nothing worth having comes easy.

Guess what? They are right.

In today’s day and age, everything is being flipped on its head, particularly dating. When the best man gives his toast, he usually explains how the couple met in some funny or coinci-dental way. Thanks to infamous hook-up apps there is no more need for all of the unnecessary explanation. What used to be a sweet story can now be compacted into two-syllable word: Tinder.

Tinder is solely swiping somebody’s picture to the left if the user doesn’t like them, or to the right if you want a chance to message them. If that person decides they feel the same way, they swipe right and can message each other. From there you have the option to message each other. It’s up to you to dole your number out, at your own risk.

To parents, meeting a person somewhere as widely known as “eHarmony.com” or “Chris-tianmingle.com” is probably odd to them. The new social norm has curved the minds of youth and confused the minds of the geriatric by

creating phone apps that makes it as simple as a tap on the screen.

In this fast-paced world there isn’t much time to actually fill out a questionnaire. Instead, we slap a couple of pictures up and type out a vapid bio filled with suggestive emojis. You set your age preference and how far you are willing to travel to meet up with this person, because apparently “the one” is within a 30-mile radius. That’s it, you’re done.

It’s all fun and games until it gets weird. If you decide later on that the person is a creep you can always “unmatch” them and never have to deal with them again. That is, until you realize he is the grocery bagger at Trader Joe’s.

Here is the main problem with Tinder: you run into these people in real life. They are within a specific radius of you, and you’re forced to face the irony that you’re the one that chose it. It can get extremely awkward, and in some circumstances, means you need to steal your Yogurtland because you have to speed-

walk out the door before getting noticed (full disclosure: The Breeze does not condone shop-lifting, although fully understand the awkward struggle).

Every Tinder experience is different, but for most males and females, the pros outweigh the cons and that is why Tinder is thriving now more than ever before.

Happy swiping to you all. And remember, if you happen to be stuck on a certain person, always swipe left.

Illustration by: Natalie Thomas

Brothers Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba simply get it. As the creators of this year’s One Book, One College choice, “daytripper,” they tell an intimate tale that utilizes the medi-um of comic books/graphic novels to its fullest storytelling potential. The life of “daytripper’s” protagonist probably could’ve worked as a novel or film, but letting the story unfold through each page and panel is what makes the book transcend the medi-um in thematically profound ways.

Going back 20 years, One Book, One College’s selection features var-ious works of fiction and non-fiction, many that are considered modern classics such as Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” and Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried.” This is the first time that a graphic novel is featured as the year’s topic of a campus-wide discourse, but it’s far from an odd choice.

The genre and medium is cur-rently bigger than ever in popular culture. This summer welcomes the Batman and Superman series’s 75 year anniversary. Both comic-book powerhouses Marvel and DC have both released their cinematic release calendars, extending all the way until 2019. What’s crazy in that scenario is the fact that many of these release dates don’t have any names or titles attached to them — audiences are going to get a film by Marvel in May 3, 2019, but that’s all anyone knows. They’re that confident in the char-acters and property doing well in today’s society. On campus, one’s hard-pressed to find a student not sporting a logo of their favorite hero.

“daytripper” is not the super-hero, crime-fighting type of story

that’s been oversaturating comics for decades. The life and journey of protagonist Bras de Oliva Domingo is one that isn’t filled with globally cat-astrophic consequences. What we get is a story of an obituary writer who struggles to understand himself in a life and career that’s overshadowed by not only his father, but also con-stant death. Seriously, no pressure there. Each page feels like a vague memory, connected by flashes of mo-ments shown through every panel, all tonally synthesized through the vivid artwork and illustration. By the time it’s over, readers get a life-affirming tale that’s both inspiring and self-re-flective.

Students are encouraged to seek out “daytripper” and attend some of the discussions held throughout the semester. It’s a book that’s a little outside the mainstream, but some of the best comics today are being done by smaller companies such Image, Dark Horse, and Vertigo. Title’s such as “Saga,” “East of West,” and “Sex Criminals” are critically lauded for trying something new, more adult than the usual Superman series. Out-side of just stories, comic books are a great medium to help developing authors or filmmakers to write in a descriptive, visual manner. Legend-ary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa was known to storyboard with his own hand, using his art background to literally paint the scene. Most of Hol-lywood’s current producing habits owes much to comic books.

Whatever reason One Book, One College chose “daytripper” for this year, the experience of reading “day-tripper” is highly encouraged. By the end, it’s reminiscent of a line from

“The Shawshank Redemption,” cue Morgan Freeman: “Get busy living or get busy dying.”

Counter Cultures:Art in a new perspectiveCounter Cultures will be displayed at the Wignall gal-

lery during Sept. 12 through Nov. 1.The display will feature 25 artists and groups that

come together with illustrations, graffiti walls and pho-to collages, all contributing to define the meaning of art.

“Highlighting different forms or ways of art, we are hoping to feature local artist,” Kimberly Johnson, senior editor of the Chaffey Review, said.

Members of the Chaffey Review staff are assisting with the coordination of the event.

cy text alerts on the Chaffey college website under the “Public Safety” tab.

“We are transitioning to a new text message system. We don’t have the ability to send messages to students other than those that signed up for the alerts,” Director of Marketing and Public Relations Peggy Cartwright, said. “We are looking into improving our text messaging system. We’d like to have the ability to reach all of our students in a situation like this.”

However it wasn’t just stu-dents who were left uninformed. Staff members found themselves scrambling for answers as well.

In an email forwarded to all fac-ulty members at 1:40 p.m. on the day of the incident, associate professor of political science Pak W. Tang stated: “In the absence of ANY informa-tion from anyone, I want to tell you all what I can see from my office in CAA. Looking out at the north parking lot, I see all entrances to the parking lot blocked by law enforce-ment.”

He added, “Two sheriff deputies just went door-to-door and knocked on my door, which I opened to see them with their assault rifles at the ready. They went down the hallway

knocking on each door. This does NOT appear to be a drill.”

At 4:05 p.m. after more than two hours of searching, the San Bernardi-no County Sheriff ’s Department tweeted that the search was complete and that the area was cleared with nothing located.

Classes for the rest of the day on the Rancho Cucamonga campus were canceled. Classes resumed the next day.

On Friday Aug 22, Nicks was arrested after authorities determined that the information he provided was false.

He was charged with one count of reporting a false

bomb threat.Some students and faculty mem-

bers were critical of the decision to have a lockdown instead of an evacu-ation given the situation.

Campus Police Lieutenant Darryl Seube said, “Had there not been a lockdown, we would’ve had poten-tially a lot of students coming out of classrooms mingling where this individual possibly was. It wasn’t a bomb threat — it was a report of a suspicious person carrying some-thing suspected to be a bomb. So we were not looking for the location of a bomb, we were looking for a person.”

Several students and staff mem-

bers also raised concerns over the school’s ability to effectively commu-nicate with students.

“I think it was difficult for them to handle the situation in real-time,” Dr. Ryan Falcioni, professor of phi-losophy, told The Breeze.

“It was more of an operational failure that turned into an ethical one,” he said. “The school’s failure’s weren’t intentional; they were an oversight, but potentially a danger-ous one.”

Falcioni teaches a Seminar on Ethics class and is also a member of

the campus ethics committee.“They have a responsibility to

keep students informed,” he said. “And there was an ethical lapse in the school’s ability to do so. Consis-tent, open dialogue leads to a healthy collegial environment.”

September 8, 2014 News

Campus Lockdown (Continued)

Everyone knows to expect the un-expected when Video Music Awards is on the air and 2014 was certainly no exception. Broadcast live from the network where pop culture reigns supreme, MTV aired the VMAs from the Great Western Forum in Ingle-wood, on Aug. 24.

In true VMA fashion, there were a slew of performances that ran together joining the ranks of the mainstream, the lewd, and the scant-ily clad. And as usual, there were certainly some disappointments as far as awards go, but for the sake of fairness the undeserving will remain nameless. That being said, in a sea of artists falling victim to the status quo, there still were a few moments worth remembering.

5. Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj perform “Bang Bang”

After enduring Ariana Grande’s solo presentation of her single “Break Free” and Nicki Minaj’s performance of her raunchy number “Anaconda,” it was almost a relief to see Jessie J come on stage to sound off the final segment for the three-part presen-tation. The three ladies gathered to-gether one after the other to finalize the opening act with their hit single “Bang Bang,” with Jessie J clearly

being the female vocalist in com-mand of the bunch. Lastly, it would not be an MTV Award show with-out a wardrobe malfunction. Nicki Minaj is no stranger to revealing attire, which is why it was so ironic to see her on stage fighting to keep her black dress on. It was painfully obvious that the rapper was unable to get her dress fully secured prior to coming on stage — but in honor of true showmanship — she came on stage anyway.

4. Usher and Nicki Minaj per-form “She Came to Give it to You”

With a backdrop of a full band, complete with a horn and percus-sion section and team of dancers all dressed in white, Usher’s perfor-mance of “She Came to Give it to You” was nothing short of a good time. Even Nicki Minaj dressed appropriately for the occasion as she delivered her verse to the song dressed in a white mink top and white skinny jeans. It was nice to see a more seasoned artist such as Usher deliver a quality performance.

3. Miley Cyrus’ acceptance speech for Video of the Year

The more recent Miley Cyrus

we’ve all come to know is privy to shocking audiences with her unorthodox and sometimes out-landish public displays. This time however, audiences were pleasantly surprised that Cyrus took a more sentimental route as she sent an emissary to accept the Video of the Year award for her video “Wreck-ing Ball” on behalf of the homeless youth in the impoverished areas of Los Angeles. Cyrus stood by in tears as she watched the young, homeless man Jesse Helt deliver his heartfelt acceptance speech in her place.

2. Common’s Ferguson address

Prior to announcing the nomi-nees for Best Hip Hop video, rapper Common used the opportunity to address the issues of racial inequal-ity and civil rights in Ferguson, Missouri still waging today. The au-dience complied as Common asked for everyone to take a moment of silence for the late Michael Brown, the teen who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mis-souri on Aug. 9.

1. Beyoncé

Self and fan proclaimed “Queen Bey,” Beyoncé Knowles brought down the house with her 15-minute medley comprised of songs from her most recent self-titled album. Knowles claimed the final perfor-mance slot — a space only fitting for entertainers of the utmost caliber — and the audience was certainly not disappointed when she took the stage. The night ended with Knowles being presented the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award by none other than her hus-band Jay-Z, accompanied by their daughter Blue Ivy Carter. Knowles was practically speechless as she humbly accepted the award with her family right by her side. The display of love for both her hus-band and daughter will silence any rumors of their alleged impending separation.

“With year-round enrollment and access to faculty, I knew National was for me. My advisor transferred my credits, and now I’m on my way.”

~ Michael, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology

Chloë Grace Moretz stars as the lead character Mia, a 17-year-old high school student who is faced with a crossroads. Should she attend college in her hometown of Portland, Oregon and live with her rocker boyfriend Adam (played by Jamie Blackley) or should she pur-sue her lifelong dream of attending Julliard in New York City to play the cello? All of her indecisiveness comes to an abrupt halt when Mia and her family are in a violent car accident leaving her family in criti-cal conditions and putting Mia into a coma.

Perhaps the most intriguing part of the story is the out of body experience that Mia is subjected to where she witnesses her family fighting for their lives and her loved ones anxiously gathering hoping for their survival. As Mia stalks the halls of the hospital hoping for her family’s recovery, she is faced with an even bigger decision - wheth-er or not she wants to live or die herself.

Director R. J. Cutler wastes no time with semantics, as the fatal car accident is the main event of the first 10 minutes of the movie, just like it is in the book.

Perhaps the most central sub-ject matter of the storyline is the romance between Mia and Adam. Moretz and Blackley clearly have chemistry displaying a very believ-able love story between two young teens. Adam’s reaction to Mia comatose state was by far the most anticipated and the most genuine moments of the film.

Aside from that, the rest of the film falls subject to the ranks of the mundane and predictable teen romance. Outside of the fact that there is a book that will tell you ev-erything that happens, it’s just one of those sappy, tearjerker yet fore-seeable films. However, if one can stomach the overwhelming abun-dance of clichés, such as good girl falls for bad boy, the movie actually has its heartwarming moments.

Actors Joshua Leonard and Mireille Enos were a perfect fit to play Mia’s ex-rocker parents Denny and Kit. Post-rock life for Denny and Kit included two children and normal careers such as teaching and homemaking. But the portrayal of the supportive and easygoing parents by Leonard and Enos made the family scenes the absolute best scenes in the film. Any flashback scene that included Mia’s parents were filled with loving family sentiments that is always cheesy to watch, but in the best way.

Although the overall storyline lacked originality, the book turned film is fitting for its melodramatic young adult demographic.

top 5 MTV VMA Highlights ‘If I stay,’ not worth staying around

Reviews September 8, 2014

The winners receive the moon man.(MTV/MTV.COM)

*Full Disclosure: While this film is an adaptation of a novel, this review will focus solely on the film and not draw comparison to the source materi-al.

*This film can be seen in select theaters, but is widely available on multiple Video-on-demand platforms.

“Life of Crime” begins with one of our protagonists getting mugged while taking a piss. As retaliation, one of the leads lures the mugger to the middle of the street with insults, while the other drives his van into the unsuspecting crook. Introducing the leads this way might be appropri-ate for characters who are criminals, but is there anything relatable for the audience? With this cast, there’s a lot to like.

Based on the novel “The Switch” by Elmore Leonard, this film is a spiritual prequel to “Jackie Brown” as it takes the supporting characters Ordell Robbie and Louis Gara from Tarantino’s 1997 classic and places them in the mid-1970s as a pair of young, experienced crooks. While Samuel L. Jackson and Robert de Niro played the pair in the previous film, they’re complemented this time around through the winning per-formances of Mos Def as Ordell and John Hawkes as Louis.

The story follows the pair as they plan to abduct the wife (Jennifer Aniston) of a corrupt real-estate developer (Tim Robbins) to extort a million dollars. Being a crime thriller with low-level thugs, things don’t go as plan and everyone’s forced to improvise.

Much of what works is due to Leonard’s writing, the script and the performances. Def imbues Ordell with a cool likability that channels Jackson in much subdued fash-ion. Hawkes is one of Hollywood’s most underrated talent and “Life of Crime” shows Hawkes is more than capable as a dramatic lead. On paper, Louis feels more unkempt and irrita-

ble, but Hawkes grounds the charac-ter as man who’s used to this life, but doesn’t let it define him.

Aniston is actually quite amaz-ing in this film. Lately, the star has seemed to push herself into riskier, more physically ostentatious roles, but “Life of Crime” shows that Anis-ton can do a great job with the right character and material. Robbins, Will Forte, Isla Fisher, and Mark Boone Junior do a great job providing the suspense and laughs, but it’s Aniston that shine from the rest of the cast.

“Life of Crime” could’ve been better if it took chances with the filmmaking. Director Daniel Schech-ter has made a couple independent features, and feels a lot like a Sun-dance release. It doesn’t have the nostalgic swoon of Tarantino or the technical flourishes (i.e. lighting, editing, etc.) of Soderbergh, elements that work well enough to leave some lasting impression. Cinephiles will remember “Jackie Brown” in how the music, performances and script are all infused in a style that honors Leonard, but also “Blacksploitation” films from the 1970s. Fans will proba-

bly remember “Out of Sight” for simi-lar reasons, slightly more modern in approach.

And while this film does have some great character relationships that parallel Tarantino and Soder-berg’s film, there’s much left to be desired on a directorial level. Outside a couple of sequences and a zoom-in trick that makes this feel life a film from the 1970s, “Life of Crime” most-ly felt like excellent television.

The Good: The CastThe Bad: Not enough directorial

risks. By the numbers plot and nar-rative.

The Weird: Michael Keaton’s char-acter may or may not return like he did in those previous films.

Overall: C+

Now we haven’t included all his films, but these featured are great stories that are realized and elevated through the pres-ence and performance of Robin Williams.

The number “2” will be displayed on the football team’s helmets this season in honor of late teammate Shel-don Martin.

Only one player has the op-portunity to wear the jersey that will be retired for good next year. Marquis Wimberly, teammate and fellow wide re-ceiver, was offered the honor to wear Martin’s number 2 on the offensive side of the ball.

“The way I feel, is that nobody is going to be as good as he was or as talented as he was,” Wimberly said. “I don’t want to wear it. I just want to represent in the best way I can.”

Martin was shot on the 60 freeway around 11 p.m. on Aug. 16 and was pro-nounced dead at the scene. He was traveling in a vehicle whose passengers had just left a restaurant where a verbal altercation preceded the shooting. According to multiple sources, the vehicle was followed onto the freeway where the shooting occurred.

Marquis invited Sheldon over to stay at his house that night. Wimberly recalls wanting to stay in and relax after a long Saturday of two practices.

“That was my best friend, my brother,” Wimber-ly said.

When he found out, Wimberly met up with wide receiver Josh Broadway at Riverside Community Hospital.

“I woke up to a call from her [Breeze reporter Katrina Hull] and I didn’t believe it.” Broadway said. “The next day we went to a church in Pomona where one of our teammate’s father is a pastor and he prayed with us.”

Aug. 18 marked the first day of the semester. In-stead of holding a practice, the team had a closed-

door session of mourning. Players and coaches shared stories of Martin for what Broadway and Wimberly say was about two and a half hours

Broadway said it was the jokes he would miss most about his friend.

Martin was a former Jurupa Valley High School standout who came to Chaffey in January. He was a standout athlete, playing both offense and defense. Coming into this season, he had interest from Division 1 schools Weber State and the University of Utah.

Football was the vehicle in which Wimberly met Martin while the two were in eighth grade at a game in the High Desert. The number 2 Martin wore was more than just his own number, it was one half of a Panther duo.

“He [Martin] wanted number 1 actually, but when I first came here the coaches told me I could wear it,” Wimberly said. “Then he said ‘I’ll just wear 2 with you, that way we can be 1-2.’”

Wimberly will be attending the high school football games of Martin’s cousin who looked up to him the most. Broadway keeps in touch with Sheldon’s ex-girlfriend to keep her in-formed on the happenings of the Panther team.

Teammates, friends and relatives alike made it clear through social media that Martin touched many lives. Posts of “RE2PECT” with a picture of Martin in uniform bearing his number 2 went viral throughout the commu-nity. From people who spent every day in Martin’s tight-knit wide receiver group, to those who met the man once, paid their respects.

Broadway and Wimberly have a message for students.

“Make sure they all try and come out and support us on our quest. Try to pack the stadium for home games. I’m

having shirts made so people can come to me to get a shirt. Just to show respect to him I think it should be a black out [for the first home game Sept. 20]. Black out the stadium.”

The Panthers have dedicated their season to the memory of Martin. One way or another Martin was going to have an effect on this team. The “2” on the team’s helmets will be a symbol of his contribution to the Panther’s quest for a second straight state championship. The presence this team would have felt with Martin on the field, will remain strong.

“It’s hard to replace a person like that,” Wimber-ly said, “but we have to get a task done, for him.”

Actor Ian Bohen of Teen Wolf participated in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge recently, but here’s the kicker, he nominated our very own men’s water polo coach, Brandon Spalding.

Spalding’s son Noah then nom-inated Water Polo players Justin

Grani and Dominic Kirby. Kirby and Grani dumped a giant ice chest full of ice water on each other off of Grani’s roof and then nominated teammate Travis Sapp.

“We mostly nominated people who would actually do the chal-lenge,” Grani said.

“I still don’t know what it is hon-estly,” Sapp said.

Equipment manager Justin Cau-dill was challenged by the whole women’s soccer team. Soccer players Clarrisa Guerrero and Jessica Ortega were nominated by teammate Anna Pinedo.

Caudill and the soccer girls added a slight twist and performed their challenges in a different way then most. They all dunked themselves in an ice bath rather than poured ice over their heads.

From men’s soccer, Cameron Hunter was nominated by his team-mate Stephen Barba.

There were even nominations that crossed over sports. Basketball player Tyler Shea nominated soccer player Nick Lamar.

Volleyball player Brooke Freeman nominated teammates Taylor Coffee and Meaghan McHenry. There is even a plan in the works of the entire

team nominating the entire men’s basketball team.

“I’m not going to pour ice water on my head for fun,” McHenry said.

The three girls from the volleyball team who participated watched the informative video and from doing that it raised their own awareness.

“I just want to find the cause because if that ever happened to my mom or a family member it would affect me,” Coffee said.

When they were young children, the parents of Ivan Romero, Alexis Lopez, Yosh Carillo Villa, and Gustavo Larios made one of the most difficult and life-altering decisions they could have made: moving their families from their homes in Mexico to Mont-clair, California.

Seeing as though the four freshmen Panthers were so young when they left their hometowns, the transition into the American lifestyle was an especially difficult one.

“I got here and was alone,” said Villa, thinking back to his early days in a strange and foreign country. “That was when I started kicking the ball around, it wasn’t back in Mexico.”

Although Mexico is often associat-ed with soccer, the Montclair four did not play the sport there. They began to play once they were in California, uncovering their passion for the sport they have played together from mid-dle school to the present day.
