The word “charity” might evoke im-ages of food banks or homeless shelters, or of the poor gathered in

lines, waiting to receive the comforts that many people can get at their leisure. How-ever, charity is taking a less familiar form this season, and in a place much closer to home.

The Christian club, “Christians at Chaffey College,” has been hosting its first annual “Extra-Credit Canned-Food Drive” since November.

The drive’s goal is simple: collect canned food in classes, then distribute it on campus. The incentives (aside from fuzzy feelings) are also pretty straightforward. Each instructor that participates is expect-ed to provide some appropriate extra credit in return for donations, and the Christian club will award a free lunch or pizza party to the class and instructor that collect the most canned goods.

Actually, only one thing makes this canned food drive stand out from the many manifestations of holiday charity — the recipients. At the end of the drive, the do-nated goods will be distributed to students, without qualification. While the cans are still stocked, they will given out on Dec. 9 in the Wignall Museum patio from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.

Lukas Nelson concert draws in a crowd

AMBER YASIN

The Lukas Nelson concert was held on Nov. 19 in the Chaffey Theater. It was an event to raise money for

student scholarships.“It’s a benefit concert that supports stu-

dents,” said Dr. Henry Shannon, college president. “This is a great way to raise funds.”

The gross proceeds from the con-cert was $5,016, which distributed to the band and other expenses. The balance of $1,816 was given to the Success Cen-ter Scholarship Fund.

Two hundred and fifty-nine tickets were sold, making it a full house. The show was opened by the band The Reflectors, which was introduced by Laura Hope, dean of the School of Instructional Support, as (in the band’s words), performers of “bearded, shoeless, psychedelic rock.”

Logan Metz, member of the band, was

pleased with the crowd and support for the event.

“They were attentive and appreciative, and they clapped at the same time,” he said. “It was lovely.”

The audience was delighted to see Lu-kas Nelson’s band, Promise of the Real, which played for well over an hour. The band was invited to play at Chaffey by Hope, and it marks the first time the col-lege has hosted a rock concert.

The band formed a year ago in January 2009.

“Lukas and I met at a Neil Young show,” Anthony LoGerfo, drum player, said. “Lu-cas had to let go of few commitments, like school.”

The band was influenced by many dif-ferent artists, such as Neil Young, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, “any kind of good music….we like African, Latin and Elec-tronica,” LoGerfo said.

Main singer Lukas Nelson, who is the

son of the well-known singer/songwriter Willie Nelson, said that he has always loved his father’s music. He went on to reminisce about the role his father played in the development of his musical inter-ests, saying that when he was 11 years old he asked his father what he wanted for his birthday.

“My father wanted me to learn how to play the guitar, and I’ve been playing it since then,” he said.

The band members certainly do not have difficulty keeping themselves motivated to perform when traveling so frequently from venue to venue.

“If you like it, you can do it,” Cory Mc-Cormick, bass player, said. “It’s like go-ing to camp; you never wanna go home.” Lucas added, “It’s gonna be a lot better since we got this RV.” He then pointed to the right side of the room, and continued, “I love sleeping in those bunks.” He then proudly acknowledged, “This is our first

official Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real RV.”

The show concluded with an interesting bit of showmanship from the lead singer, as he proceeded to play his guitar with his teeth. In addition, his brother, Micah Nel-son, displayed his attempts at interpretative art, as he had been stationed at the corner of the stage, painting throughout the show. The painting that resulted appeared to be an abstract interpretation of a human fig-ure, painted in dull earthy tones.

The concert was much-appreciated by all, to the extent that even non-Chaffey stu-dents were drawn in. “They were amazing, they were epic, I admire them so much,” said Maeve Riley, Los Osos High school student.

The audience was vocal throughout the show, responding enthusiastically to the musicians, and their appreciation was made obvious by the seemingly never-end-ing applause that concluded the evening.

Chaffy College DPS serves about 1,000 students with permanent or temporary disabilities, providing

them with skills and services that can help them further their education and receive a college degree.

The goal of Disability Programs and Services is to intervene when a develop-mental, learning, physical, or psychologi-cal limitation interferes with the education-al process provided by the college.

DPS is open for eligible students Mon-days and Wednesdays, from 7:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.

Experienced counselors are available to reach and accommodate the needs of the students. DPS provides Instructional Ser-vices such as sign language interpreter ser-vice, priority registration, test taking facili-

tation where students with disabilities may qualify for test accommodations which could include such things as extended time on the test, alternative test formats, reading assistance, and writing assistance.

They also offer Alternative Media. This is instruction-related material that is converted from its original state so it is accessible by students with disabilities. This may include Braille, ASCII text, large print, recorded audio, electronic text for-mats and video captioning.

To be eligible for the services, the indi-vidual must be verified by a physician, and agree to the program’s rules and standards.

Jason Shneck works as an Alternate Media Accessibility Coordinator. He co-ordinates all media usage and assistance. The programs came about after the Ameri-can Disability Act, and it is funded mainly by state and federal grants.

According to Shneck, DPS has been

economically affected by the economy. His position as Alternate Media Accessi-bility Coordinator is originally a full-time position, but now it is a part-time position. Shneck hopes funding will come back, and they will be able to expand their services again.

Many students do not know of the quali-fications to be part of DPS yet could benefit from the program.

Shneck said that one student, who strug-gled academically due to his temporary disability, was not aware of DPS. One of his instructors recommended the program and was amazed at the many services it had to offer.

DPS helped the student with trams ser-vices, which offered him transportation in the campus because he was not able to car-ry his books on his own due to his broken arm. Also, they offered him note-taking services and test accommodation facilities,

which helped him to succeed in school.The bottom line is that DPS allows

students an equal opportunity to the same quality education as any other student.

“Yes, I love my job here,” Shneck said.Staff members are friendly people who

seem to truly enjoy their job.“It is a challenging work environment,”

Shneck said. “I am learning constantly, and the people who I am working with are en-joyable to be around.”

Chaffey DPS is a community where staff and students can come together to form friendships and where a person can always find at least one helpful hand.

“I’ve been in DPS since spring of 2006,” said Sarah M. “They are wonder-ful and helpful people who are helping me achieve my goals for me to graduate.”

DPS is located next to the Student Ac-tivities Center. For more information about the program, call (909)652-6379.

Eating disorders have become preva-lent in the United States. According to statistics it is estimated that eight

million Americans have an eating disorder – seven million women and one million men.

An eating disorder is defined by ex-tremes in eating behavior such as severe reduction in food intake, overeating, or distress or concern about body weight or shape.

Most of the information in the media about eating disorders is directed toward females but males are usually overlooked.

Even after losing 70 pounds Mike Coo-per, music major, found it difficult to ac-knowledge the loss.

“I still feel huge,” said Cooper. “It’s a

body image thing.”For Cooper, divorce and unemploy-

ment were part of the dynamics that influ-enced his turnaround and his desire to lose weight.

“Actually what happened is somebody cared for me unexpectedly, and that person made me appreciate life again.”

In Cooper’s case he feels is was a self-hate thing.

“It’s not suicide; it’s not death,” said Cooper. “You manifest death in small ways such as overeating, destructive patterns in relationships and absence of self-care.”

An estimated 10 to 15 percent of people with eating disorders are males.

Male celebrities who have suffered with an eating disorder include Elton John and Daniel Johns.

Through the late 1980’s Elton John con-

fessed that he suffered with bulimia. Buli-mia Nervosa is characterized by a cycle of binging and self-induced vomiting.

In a 2004 interview on ABC, Johns talked about his struggle with anorexia. Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss. Both of these disorders are life threatening.

Nearly half of all Americans personally know someone with an eating disorder.

“There are a lot of guys with body is-sues,” said Cooper. “We are not allowed to talk about it…we’re not allowed to have feelings.”

Cooper’s future plan is to teach music. He plans to earn a master’s degree and pos-sibly a Ph.D. in music education.

Students can receive health and diet in-formation at the Student Health Services Center in the AD building.

Eating disorders continue to affect American males, too

The Winter Student Exhibition was on display at Wignall Museum from Nov. 29 through Dec. 4. The winners from the

Winter Photo Show along with other entries were on display for all to enjoy. Sculptures, paintings and photographs in the museum reflected the diverse inspiration and creativity of students.

“It’s a good sampling of what’s going on in all the classes,”

Roman Stollenwerk, assistant curator said. “If people are curious about other classes, it is a good show to come and see. ”The artist’s reception on Dec. 1 had food and music.

“Some of it was cool, but some of it was really random,” Allie Rhoades, child development major, said. “Like there was a picture of a bike and I would ride a bike. I wouldn’t take a picture of one.”

The end of the semester can be a stressful time for most students. Finals are fast approaching and now

is the time to panic. Luckily the success centers are here to help. Do not wait until the last minute to cram a semesters worth of information into a defenseless brain.

“When you try to study one or two days before the test, the material gets stored in your short-term memory which is really unreliable,” Greg Creel, instructional specialist of the Rancho Multidisciplinary Center said.

Start studying now. Talk to your teachers to find out what kind of questions are going to be on the test and to clarify information that you do not understand. If you still need more help, the success centers offer free tutoring in all subjects.

“Make sure to get enough sleep the night before your tests. It’s tempting to pull an all-nighter, I’ve done it, but it’s not a good idea,” Creel said. “Think of your brain like an athlete’s body. An athlete would not stay up all night training the night before they run a marathon.”

Eat smart foods. Good nutrition is vitally important to the brain. Fresh fruits and vegetables are good along with plenty

of water. Make sure to stay away from fatty, heavy foods that will leave you feeling sleepy and sluggish. Processed sugars and caffeine can make it more difficult to concentrate or think clearly. However, if you normally drink coffee in the morning, do not skip the day of a test because your body now depends on it.

Creel suggested forming study groups with other serious students in your class and to make studying fun.

“I came up with a game like 20 questions and everyone would find questions that we thought would be on the test,” Creel said. “Then our group would meet and whoever could stump the most people with the toughest questions won a free lunch paid for by the other members of the group.”

Games like these are effective tools for studying because the most you stand to lose is a dollar or two or you win a free lunch paid for by your peers.

The success centers have a variety of workshops scheduled including test-taking anxiety and test-taking skills. Workshop schedules are available online. Make appointments one week in advance to guarantee a seat. Do not procrastinate. The success centers will be closed the week of finals.

Celebrating Women in Mathematics and Science Conference was a class act event. The Nov. 19 event

at the Chaffey College Chino Community Building drew more than 130 female students from local high schools and Chaffey.

Students learned from professional women about the possibilities of current and future careers with a key emphasis in math and science. This event was made possible by the Chaffey College CTE Community Collaborative project, County of San Bernardino Workforce Investment Board, the City of Chino, UC Riverside ALPHA Center, and the Alliance for Education.

The event began with welcome remarks from Dr. Terry Giugni, Dean of the Chino campus and Dr. Gary Thomas, San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools. Dr. Pamela Clute, Executive Director of the UC Riverside ALPHA Center, gave the keynote address. Dr. Clute’s message connected mathematics and science to everyday life and encouraged students to pursue careers in STEM. The event featured interactive workshops presented by female professionals in careers such as federal law enforcement, NASA/JPL, crime scene investigations, physics, veterinary science, and engineering.

Students enjoyed hands-on activities

in each workshop. Sandra Kaszynski, an aerospace educational specialist for NASA/JPL Education Resource Center, gave a workshop where participants were put into teams to simulate an approximate $9 billion project called Mars Bound. The teams used a game-board and cards with images of the various equipment needed to plan a successful mission to Mars. The game emphasized the importance of teamwork, which was Kaszynski’s main goal she wanted the students to grasp.

Federal agents specializing in terrorism brought debris from staged explosions; federal safety agents showed the tools they use daily; engineers brought dry spaghetti and marshmallows for students to build a “house” using engineering principles; CSI presenters taped off a corner of the classroom to form a mock crime scene; NASA/JPL brought video of the Mars Rover and a “build-your-own-rocket” game; students used computers to do interactive physics lessons; and students studied the anatomy of a monkey’s head in the animal science workshop.

Kaszynski’s passion for teaching was evident from her workshop presentation to her participation in the panel discussion in which she shared the fact that her dream career was to work for NASA. The day concluded with a panel discussion from female professionals and female college students on how they chose a career related to science and mathematics. They shared their personal journeys that brought them to their careers.

JOSHUA HICKEN

This week we talk to Aref Fakhoury, Chaffey alumnus and Warden of the Chino prison, about his newfound membership on the Foundation Board, and overcrowding in California’s prisons.

- What is the Foundation Board about?In short, it’s for the students. To provide fundraisers and scholarships for students, and we seek support of businesses to donate money, and create scholarships.

- How did you begin combining education with your work with prisoners?I started at the Norco prison in 1982, then eventually came to Chino and started work as a correctional counselor — basically a non-uniform peace officer working with inmates.

Everyone in prison must be in an education program or work. But outside [the prison] children ditch or drop out of school, through lack of support or guidance. So we have a group called PRIDE, prisoners reaching independent decision to educate. They do fundraisers, and part of each provides something to the prisoners, but another part goes to benefit a school.

- So the prisoners are helping raise funds for students who aren’t even at the prison?Yes. They’re students in the community. We have several of those [types] of programs, which give inmates a chance to give something back to the community... and sometimes even benefit their own children.

- I always think of programs as helping prisoners, but almost everything you’re describing involves the prison benefiting the community.

The public sometimes looks at the Department of Corrections as a public entity that just spends money, but there are so many benefits in the prison that people don’t get to see.

We have at least thirty camps statewide that [allow inmates to] provide firefighting support and flood control. In most fires, you’ll find inmates, correctional officers, supervisory personnel and firefighters working together.

-How did you begin working in corrections?I had planned to go to law school, but then I lost my mom, lost my dad, and was the oldest at home. My sister had started going to CalPoly by the time my dad passed away, and I wanted to make sure she got a degree, so I went to work.

I went to work for corrections by chance. I was training people for a security business, and people working for me were going into corrections and encouraging me to go. ...I thought “Oh, three weeks in the academy I’ll just try it,” and the satisfaction I found in it was in correctional counseling.

-This week the Supreme Court heard arguments concerning overcrowding in California’s prisons. What’s your take on that?Definitely we’re overcrowded. When a prison is designed, it might be built to house one prisoner per cell, but to increase the usability you place two inmates in a cell. Technically, a prison designed to house 1,000 inmates can comfortably house 2,000 inmates.

The question of overcrowding becomes valid when you have a prison like Chino prison, designed to house one inmate per bunk and one inmate per cell. Then you have a gymnasium, a game room, and a dining hall.

The dining hall provides feeding for say 3,000 inmates. Well, now that we’ve doubled the inmates…the same dining hall has to provide feeding for 6,000. You cannot feed them faster, so you have to feed them for twice as long. So overcrowding interferes with services that we provide.

It’s alleged that certain inmates aren’t

getting the care that they’re getting. I have disagreement with the plaintiffs’ argument in this. I’ve personally found that I’m not getting the standard of care we’re providing in the prison. We work within a budget, but people were not denied major treatment.

-What relationship do educational programs have to the prison population?When people in the community commit crimes and go to prison, it usually does not happen among highly educated people, among good families.

So when they come to prison, the goal is to provide them with education, vocational training, and guidance, so that they go back to the community in better shape. We focus so much on correcting people in prison, but we need to start while they’re in kindergarten.

Once people get in trouble and come to prison, everyone wants to help them. I think we need to focus more on education and get people as involved then in the community, and in schools. This could

prevent people from getting in trouble in the first place.

-Once people are incarcerated, does education help recidivism?Every little thing helps... but as a citizen, I’d like to make sure we provide for children so that they don’t go to prison.

-Is that why you focus on programs that let the prison benefit the community?Yes. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s too late for people who are in prison now. If we focus on younger generations, eventually those in prison will give up or die young. Then if we prevent younger [people] from going to prison... [the overcrowding] would correct itself.

I’m not here to tell you prisons are the best thing on earth. We should do the best to keep people out of prison.

-Is that something that the Foundation could help you do?

Absolutely.

Director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler) has teamed up with

Fox Searchlight Pictures to create an epic portrayal of ballet keeping the audience on the tips of their toes in Black Swan.

The film is based on the character of the Black Swan in the ballet Swan Lake but is focused on the psychological troubles of the ballet’s star Nina (Natalie Portman) Rather than depict the ballet as a smooth performance, Darren Aronofsky has taken an extremely passive art form and transformed it into the nightmarish depiction of her role as the Swan Queen as she stands in opposition of the new ballerina in the play Lily (Mila Kunis).

Not only does the film break ground on the portrayal of the lives of ballerinas; it is a stark thriller playing with sight and sound pushing and pulling every emotional heartstring of the audience. In accordance with the personification of the Black Swan, Nina travels through a transformation that is not only a metaphysical perspective but also a sexual, personal, and developmental one as well.

The film opened Dec. 3 with a limited release only screening the film in Hollywood in Southern California. The film will open in wider release in another week or two, as the demand is needed. I highly recommend that everyone see this film, while remembering that this is rated R for a very strong reason.

Hunger should be one of the last thing on minds of students dur-ing finals. Studies tell us that we

should eat smart. With our mind at ease, we can perform to the best of our abilities. We need food for the soul. Chef Tim’s with Spices is here to provide.

The name should sound familiar if you have attended Chaffey’s stupendous food vendor service. Chef Tim’s with Spices served burger combos with fries and a soda. They were decidedly delicious. The story does not change off campus.

When you need smoked ribs that fall

off the bone or cornbread that is actually moist, owner and chef Tim Hanson has your back.

When you want a burger made by some-body who actually cares about quality over mass quantity, Hanson is there to provide.

Hanson has made a life choice to pro-vide comfort and well-being for those in his community. This is an easy concept to get behind, especially these days.

Chef Tim’s with Spices has items on their menu that are wonderful for this time of year. Their barbeque beans and pulled pork sandwiches are perfect for eating yourself into a food coma. The macaroni and cheese and twice baked potatoes make

any meal into a feast fit for a hungry stu-dent about to undergo a heaping helping of studying.

The favorite dishes of the Breeze staff are the Basa fish with homemade tartar sauce, and Panther Fries. Panther fries are basically steak fries covered with pulled pork, cheese and green onions.

These are worthy to carry the name of our school, and some say the other way around.

Great food with great atmosphere. The Breeze selects Chef Tim’s with Spices as our official choice of food for finals.

Go there. Now. KELLY BOWENChef Tim Hanson and friend take time to celebrate an excellent meal

The Panthers fought hard but in the end could not overcome a Moor-park fourth quarter surge that ulti-

mately decided the outcome of the West-ern State Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 20, at Chaffey College.

The Moorpark Raiders scored 14 unan-swered points in the fourth quarter, includ-ing a last-minute touchdown scoring drive, and edged the Panthers 21-14 in what was a tough defensive battle for the most part.

With the score tied at 14 late in the game, Moorpark’s Dominick Markham streaked down the sideline and scored on a 58-yard touchdown pass, which he bob-bled for nearly 10 yards before entering the end zone, to give the Raiders a 21-14 lead

with 38 seconds to go in the game. The touchdown capped a seven play, 89-yard drive that sent the Panthers home runners up instead of bowl champions.

For the Panthers, the game started of well as Erin Madden scored on a 1-yard touchdown run that put the Panthers on the scoreboard first at the 7:26 mark of the first quarter. Madden rushed for 50 yards on nine carries and scored one touchdown.

After consecutive defensive stops by both teams, Moorpark answered with a touchdown of its own when quarterback Zach Shultis connected with wide receiver Lawrence Garcia on a 25-yard pass with 1:00 minute left in the second quarter.

The two teams went into halftime with the score tied at 14, setting up what would be a dramatic second half of football.

Chaffey struck first in the second half, scoring on a 15-yard touchdown pass from Charles King to De’Shawn Beck that put the Panthers up 14-7 with 6:09 left in the third quarter. Beck had three receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown.

Chaffey’s defense, which gave a strong effort throughout the night, held the Raid-ers scoreless in the third quarter but gave up two crucial touchdowns in the fourth quarter that proved to be the deciding fac-tor.

The Panthers rushed for a total of 195 yards on 47 attempts and passed for a total of 151 yards on 12-34 passing. Dallas Kel-ly led Chaffey’s defense with seven total tackles and one forced fumble.

Chaffey finished the season with an overall record of 6-5 and 3-2 in conference.

The men finished first place in the Foothill Conference this season, and head coach Ben Cooper was named the 2010 men’s conference coach of the year.

Although the Lady Panther’s season unfortunately came to an end, the women had a great season with an overall record of 14-5-3 and 8-3-1 in Con-ference play.
