KIMBERLY JOHNSON

The 36th annual Student Invitational has offi cially opened at the Wignall Mu-seum of Contemporary Arts.

The juried exhibition showcases 12 students artists, hand-picked by facul-ty members, to display their work to the viewing public.

The yearly exhibit continues to draw students, teachers and local art enthusiasts into the ever-changing walls of the Wig-nall Museum. Ready to view and discuss the pieces, dozens piled into the Wignall for the artist reception on April 17, many with congratulatory words for the artists.

Current Student Invitational partic-ipant Robert Tidwell, mastermind be-hind the multimedia piece, “Untitled,” gravitated toward Dulce Soledad Ibar-ra's series referring to it as “stunning.”Her body of work titled "Todavia Viva, constructed from papel picado (cut paper) is a 3-dimensional reminder to Ibarra that though she is fragile, she is alive.

Another artist whose voice is a person-al message and theme among her work is photographer Karissa Ford. Her series takes you through her mind as she pro-cesses her thoughts on aging, the falsifi ed notion of safety and realizing and accept-ing morality.

“Looking back, I did not come to these realizations in a clear or fantastic man-ner as stories might suggest,” she notes in the Student Invitational Information Guide. “These epiphanies, as well as the often-discouraging opinion many of these stories imply toward daydreaming, are ex-plored within my work.”

Artist Emily Burns uses oil on panel to reignite the life in forgotten intimate pho-tographs of her lineage. Taking her audi-ence back into the ‘80s, the unique body of work is built upon quirks encompassed by her family. She somehow bypasses what could have been caricature type pieces, but produces paintings that are true-to-life representations of family moments dis-played in the photos they emulate.

Kermit the frog was wrong when he said, “It’s not easy being green.”

With Tax Day and Earth Day in April, many students are thinking green -- how they can get green (money) or be green (environmentally-conscious).

Being green is more important than ever as a culture of consumption and planned obsolescence leads to more and more waste and destruction.

Orangutans are starving and on the brink of extinction because of deforestation in Indonesia. Children can’t play outside in Beijing because the air is so polluted.

These are not scenes from some alarm-ist documentary. They are stories in the news right now.

The stakes are high and going green now could mean the difference between more headlines about dead orangutans and a world where the next generations of chil-dren can see scores of orangutans living in their natural habitat.

A world without trees or greenery seems like a pretty awful place to live, but that’s the world that future generations could in-herit if things don’t change.

The great thing is that going green can be easy, and often could mean a little more green in the wallet.

Recycling is one of the most common ways to go green. It’s easy to save bottles and cans and turn them in for cash. Who couldn’t use a little extra money for text-books?

Rather than using disposable cups, stu-dents who bring a Chaffey, Starbucks or Coffee Bean reusable cup can get them filled with coffee, tea or soda for a dollar at the bookstore and Panther Express.

Swapping out old incandescent light-

bulbs for the new energy efficient bulbs could mean lower electric bills and they don’t have to be replaced as often.

Vintage and retro clothes are in fash-ion right now. Buying clothes from a thrift store is not only good for looking fashion-able, it also means saving money and being green by reusing perfectly good clothes.

Chaffey students can also save money and the environment by riding Omnitrans

buses for free with the GoSmart program.There are even creative ways to be

green with The Breeze. This newspaper can be folded into a stylish hat any instructor would enjoy seeing on their students.

Wrapping paper is expensive. Wrap gifts in The Breeze and give the gift of award-winning journalism.

The Breeze can also be folded into a lovely flower, sure to delight any receiver.

And for those who don’t want to chan-nel their inner Martha Stewart, old copies of The Breeze can be donated to your lo-cal animal shelter. Clear out some clutter and help homeless animals all while being green.

With so many ways to easily go green and save green, everyone has a good rea-son to go green this Earth Day.

VALEEN GONZALESThe hat and gift wrapping above are just a couple of ways The Breeze can be reused.

DANNA FAKHOURY

Images of deafening explosions rock-ing the Boston area have flooded our TVs, computers, and smartphones.

Many of us have sat around replaying images from Boston, hypothesizing the, “who, what, where and why?” of this in-cident.

We have tuned to our favorite news net-works, our mouths wide open, anxiously waiting for a single drop of information to quench our curious minds and unanswered questions.

But as the dust settles, the anger sets in and the blame game commences.

As a person of Arab ethnicity, I have fallen victim to the blame game countless times.

It stings as much today as it did when I was a shy 7th grader, awkwardly cover-ing my unshaven legs with my lanky ol-ive-skinned arms in the school’s gymnasi-um as the roll-away TVs blared the sounds and images of Sept. 11.

At that moment, I was afraid of who I was because the individuals claiming re-sponsibility for 9/11 had identified with my ethnic background. Everyone bearing resemblance to terrorists was suspect.

We had developed the ultimate proto-type of what a terrorist should look like, failing to recognize terrorists come in all shapes, names, races, religions and sizes.

The Oklahoma City bombing carried out by Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nich-ols was an act of domestic terrorism that, prior to 9/11, was regarded as the deadliest act of terrorism in U.S. history, killing 168 individuals.

The Centennial Olympic Park bombing

in Atlanta, Ga., carried out by former ex-plosives expert for the United States Army, Eric Robert Rudolph, killed two people and injured 111.

Terrorism has no face or common eth-nicity. It is an act of misconstrued ideol-ogies.

Media reports have not confirmed whether the Boston explosions were an act of domestic or international terrorism. Yet moments following the incident, reports were released identifying a Saudi national as a person of interest.

This individual was later reported to be an injured witness.

The most unsettling aspect of these re-ports was that the person in question was identified as Saudi based on his appear-ance, an all too common act of racial pro-filing.

Our fear is unsettling. We allow it to control our emotions, influence our actions and taint our judgment. We are afraid of being hurt and of the unknown but we fail to recognize our fears are as universal as our experiences.

We have become desensitized to the struggles endured by people across the world.

What happens within our own borders is our primary concern and rightfully so. But we must recognize and condemn the loss of life beyond our confines whether they are the result of domestic or interna-tional terrorism, the action of an individ-ual or government, or by means of a pres-sure-cooker bomb or drone.

We must unite in our common human-ity, put race, religion, gender and politics aside and remember that the actions of a few are not representational of the whole.

It’s surprisingly easy being green

Let’s unite in our common humanity

After winning four medals at the Skill-sUSA competition, the Auto Tech Club is at it again.

SkillsUSA is a nation-wide, nonprofi t organization serving teachers, high school and college students who are preparing for careers in trade, technical and skilled ser-vice occupations.

SkillsUSA does this by challenging the students in several areas that include lead-ership, job interviews and public speaking.

The organization describes themselves as a partnership of students, teachers and industry working together to ensure Amer-ica has a skilled workforce.

The club’s high achievements at Skill-sUSA qualifi ed them to participate in the

state competition in San Diego April 4-7.Jonathan Torrealba, Mike “Smalls”

Strack, Joel Escobar, Donavan Caver and Greg Landrum represented Chaffey along with advisors Sherm Taylor and John Hud-son.

Torrealba won a gold medal in the job skills demonstration.

Strack took the gold while Escobar took home a silver medal in the leadership cat-egory.

Caver earned a bronze medal in job in-terview skills category.

“As an instructor it makes you feel very proud,” Taylor said. “One that the students are preparing themselves for the real world and making themselves more hirable, but also representing our school and depart-ment.”

Students let their voices be heard as 1,248 ballots were cast in the largest turn-out that the Associated Students of Chaffey College (ASCC) has ever seen for student government elections. The fi gure broke the record that was previously set in 2003 with more than 1,100.

ASCC has a new team of student lead-ers for the fall, led by President-Elect, Kevin Coduto. Coduto defeated Andres Fagundes 670-545.

“I was completely surprised,” Coduto said. “It’s overwhelming. It took a week for it to entirely sink in.”

In what was one of the most competi-tive campaigns Chaffey has seen in years, Sichen Hernandez-Martinez, election com-mittee chair, appreciated the voter turnout.

“I’m really proud of the work that the candidates and committee did to ensure the biggest voter turnout ever,” she said. “It was emotionally and physically exhausting at times, but they were all great candidates who had the students’ interest in mind.”

Coduto is looking forward to begin-ning his term as president, and has goals in mind, and changes he would like to see made.

“I made a challenge for myself, this coming year’s ASCC will directly help more students than any past ASCC has,” Coduto said. “That’s my No. 1 goal.”

Other things Coduto wants to see hap-pen is more money allocated to clubs, and more student life on campus, some sort of event happening every college hour.

“The rewarding feeling of helping stu-dents is really what I’m looking forward to,” Coduto said. “I’ve had that for the last year, as senator, but as president I’ll have that almost every day.”

Coduto plans to have an open door pol-icy with all students, and encourages them to approach him at anytime with questions or concerns.

“I hope the passion the students showed while voting continues, and they stay ac-tive,” Hernandez-Martinez said. “A single vote makes all the difference.”

When it comes to journalism programs, Chaffey’s is often seen as an underdog, with only two journalism classes — in ad-dition to newspaper production — being offered.

However, over the weekend of April 11-13 at the Journalism Association of Com-munity Colleges (JACC) State Conference in Sacramento, the underdog proved to be the victorious.

This was the second time in a month that Breeze representatives were in Sac-ramento, and this time they were there to cover more than basketball.

Eleven students attended, each excited to bring what they had to offer to competi-tions, in addition to going to workshops to help expand knowledge and ideas for the future of The Breeze.

Forty-one colleges were present, with nearly 500 delegates.

Breeze staff members participated in 14 different on-the-spot contest categories including writing, copy editing, photogra-phy, multimedia and page design.

These contests are, in every sense, on the spot. Participants know what category they are working in, and what time to ei-

ther meet the bus, or be at a certain venue within the hotel, but that is the extent of previous knowledge.

With only one hour to write a story, and 10 minutes to process a photo, these contests truly test the ability to work under pressure, and Chaffey proved to be among the best.

“This was one of the strongest groups I’ve taken to state competition in 28 years,” Breeze adviser Doug Walsh said. “I was cautiously optimistic about our chances, but the students truly outdid themselves. Each of our delegates gave it their all — and I’m proud of each one of them.”

With seven placements, Chaffey walked away with more on-the-spot awards than any other college in the state.

Staff photographer Michelle Menes brought home a top honor: first place News Photo. She also won an honorable mention for Bring-In photo.

“I learned more from the live judging of the photos than I did in the workshops,” Menes said. “They really told us what they were looking for, and were very helpful.”

Managing Editor Valeen Gonzales took fourth place in News Story and honorable mention for Copyediting. Breeze Colum-nist Hanajun Chung took fourth place in

Critical Review and staff writer Janet Tre-nier also won a fourth place for her work in Broadcast News Writing.

Honorable mentions went to staff writer Danna Fakhoury in Broadcast News Writ-ing and Editor-in-Chief Carly Owens in Opinion Writing.

Owens, TheBreezeOnline.com Editor Omar Palmerin and TheBaselineMagazine.com Editor Julie Cosgrove also took home

editor recognition certificates. Winning wasn’t the only highlight of

the weekend though, and staffers had many other memorable moments as well.

“I discovered that I have what it takes to be successful in the journalism field,” Fakhoury said. “I also got to make con-nections with professionals in the industry who believed in me. That was the best ex-perience.”

The sun broke through the clouds and shined on high fashion at the 130 celebra-tion on the Chino campus.

As the crowd gathered to the cool rhythms of a jazz quartet, the Design Cul-ture Club frantically added the finishing touches to their fashionable works of art.

“We have something more unique than other fashion programs in that our students get a more comprehensive edu-cation in not only fashion design but also business, general education classes and technology courses,” Ayrin Lockard, Ad-ministrative Assistant II, said. “Each stu-dent has their own personality that shows through in their designs.”

Students labored over every detail of their pieces in the show not only in creat-ing their garments but choosing the music to accompany their hand-picked models as they strutted down the catwalk. Then they came together to meld each individ-ual creation into one fluid masterpiece.

“Overall, putting on a fashion show was a challenge. There were times that we thought it wasn’t going to happen or that people were going to flake out and not come through,” Maria Ornelas, trea-surer of the Design Culture Club, said. “I tried to minimize as much stress and confusion as possible for everyone in-volved.”

The participants managed to take the stress and confusion and focus it into cre-ative energy that rocked the runway.

“The students worked really hard, and this is the biggest turnout we have had so far,” Lockard said. “A lot more than fashion students got involved. We had volunteers to do the take down and put up of the show, and others who worked on the hair and makeup. It’s really nice to see everyone come together for this one event.”

Host and designer, Sebastian Diego, welcomed everyone to the celebration with enthusiasm that set the tone for an amazing show. The dreamy sounds of “Genesis” by Grimes flooded the au-diences’ ears as the opening designer, Shayla Watkins-Kete, modeling her own

garment, made her way down the runway.The show featured 14 designers with

varied backgrounds and experience. “It is so inspiring to see students pur-

suing their passions in fashion design and modeling,” Kevin Coduto, ASCC sena-tor, said.

Beginning students showed one or two pieces while the more advanced stu-dents showcased complete collections of six pieces.

Inspiration stitched into each garment told the story of the individual designer and their journey.

“I am inspired by music, when I hear the music and the beats I just want to transform that into something,” Diego said.

Viewers were titillated throughout the show with lace cutouts, flower accents, animal prints, exaggerated trains, skin and lots of drama.

“What I love about fashion is you can be imaginative and creative,” Sichen Hernandez, ASCC Senator, said. “I loved seeing different cultures represented as well. I think the Indian-inspired designer was my favorite.”

The show ended with Krys Corvette, president of the Design Culture Club. Her full collection of garments ranged from ready-to-wear to runway designs, an eclectic mix that thrilled the crowd.

Alyssa Calderon, fashion design ma-jor, who modeled in the fall fashion show came back for another performance and modeled a black and gold piece for Cor-vette.

“I was undecided for a major and was interested in sewing so I took a beginning design class and fell in love,” Calderon said. “In the future, I hope to be making some of my own designs for the runway.”

Cheers rang through the crowd as the final models sashayed to the high energy sounds of Icona Pop’s “I love it.”

“I don’t feel like I decided to do fash-ion, it chose me,” Corvette said. “I love it. It was easy for me to express my emo-tions through fashion, so I just ran with it.”

Continued from page 1Vanessa Adrigal, communications major, called Burns’ work “astounding,”

adding, “Between her work and Russell Kuch’s photos, it’s a tie for my favorites of the night.”

Photographer Russel Kuch uses photography to create surreal situations taking his audience into a fantasy world. Kuch uses his own body as the focal point of his images, setting himself beside mist, fire, also throwing himself into the artistic concepts of destruction and rebirth.

Unlike any other show that makes it’s way into the Wignall Museum of Con-temporary art, the Student Invitational truly showcases the artistry alive on this very campus.

The 12 participants have produced work showing the validity of their talents, executing pieces not only worthy of the Wignall’s attention, but the attention of broader audiences to come.

“The entire art and photo faculty feel such pride in what these students are able to accomplish,” photography professor Kathy Haddad said. “The work that these students make and the quality of the show could go toe-to-toe with any four-year art institution. This show is a capstone for many students here who will go on to successful careers and academic achievements.”

The Student Invitational runs through May 16.

A bit of rain and dreary weather couldn’t keep the crowds away from two highly an-ticipated events: The 5th Annual Chaffey College Car Show, and Family Day at the Wig!

Held on April 14, the events were sepa-rately advertised and both brought crowds.

Family Day was more orientated to-wards family participation, with booths hosted by Chaffey Clubs with activities for kids.

One of the most popular booths at the event was the “Mobile Mural Lab.” The “canvas on wheels” is a mobile art studio dedicated to mural education, how-to tips and the aid of helping any local communi-ty express themselves through interactive mural painting on their truck.

“It’s amazing! It’s for the kids. I love everything about the kids,” Cortez Hollo-way said. He and his daughter enjoyed vis-iting the petting zoo.

Up a few flights of stairs, another great event was underway. The 5th Annual Car Show offered fun sights for the car enthu-siast in everyone.

There were refreshments available: burgers, hotdogs, chips, ice cream, soda and water, and the soundtrack consisted mostly of classic rock, adding to the mood.

A 1931 Chevrolet 5-window coupe nicknamed “Wild Thing” and owned by Phil and Mary Leatherman was a highlight. It had custom chrome pipes on the sides of the hood, and when the car was revved up, flames shot from the pipes.

Both the antique cars ant artistic fun had people enjoying themselves for the entire day.

Bringing life onto the theatre stage once again, “Impetus,” the 2013 Spring Dance Concert is reaching its final weeks of re-hearsals.

Dancers and choreographers are putting the finishing touches on their work — all in preparation for opening night, May 2.

Among the curtains and sprung floor in the theatre, there is a sense of complete dedication, shown by the all the dancers participating. Community is felt among the dancers and for many, this isn’t their first dance show.

“I love it when rehearsals move to the theatre, because everyone is together,” Na-thaly Urquiza, television and film major, said.

Professor Michele Jenkins, full-time dance faculty and artistic director of “Impetus,” has seen many dancers grow through their work in each show.

“They grow in professionalism, in terms of artistry and how comfortable they are on the stage,” she said. “They give such a deep, heartfelt display, and are able to communicate that to the audience.”

What many outsiders don’t realize is that these performers are students, most of them attending Chaffey full time while holding jobs, all in addition to being part of the concert.

David “Braulio” Martinez, choreogra-pher and dancer, is currently finishing up

three majors: econ, math and dance. “It’s time consuming, but definitely

worth it in the end,” he said. Martinez works as an instructor at 24-

Hour Fitness, while balancing school and

show responsibilities. He says that sched-uling is the most difficult thing for him.

“I have to make sure I have enough time for the classes I teach, the classes I take, the dance show, and homework.”

For Christiana Powell, the dance pro-gram was something worth coming back to Chaffey for. Powell currently attends Uni-versity of California, Riverside, as a dance and sociology major.

She will finish up her dance degree at UCR at the end of this quarter.

“It’s so nice coming to something where people are so dedicated,” Powell said. “The people are so dedicated, inspired to create, and have creations put on them. The work ethic here is intense.”

Each concert showcases the abilities of dancers, with pieces choreographed by professionals, advanced students and the instructors.

A variety of styles are featured, from classical jazz to ballroom to hip hop, and lots of styles in between.

“[The show] gives you a chance to fo-cus on different styles,” Urquiza said. “I’ve never done modern before.”

Dancers audition in both December, and then January to be a part of this production, and to each one, the intense commitment is worth it.

Just like the passion some hold for any other art, they have a passion for dance that they want to share on the stage.

“Dance looks like an art, but plays like a sport,” Martinez said.

“Impetus” runs May 2, 3 & 4 at 7:30 p.m. and May 5 at 2 p.m. For tickets go to www.chaffey.edu/theatre_tickets.

Just past the main building of Chaffey’s Chino campus in a field of yellow vege-tation, under a sullen sky in a chilly wind graze a herd of goats.

That’s right, goats.A herd of goats isn’t something that stu-

dents expect to see at a college.But their owner, George Gonzales

points out that his goats are a crucial part of the Chino campus.

“My goats are part of Chaffey’s main-tenance program to prevent wild fires,” he said.

When Gonzales contracted with Chaf-fey six years ago, the fields surrounding the chino campus were filled with tumble-weeds.

“Those tumbleweeds were 10-feet high! The college had to get rid of them, they were a fire hazard,” he said.

His goats did their job, eating all the tumbleweeds, and then the surrounding grass and brush, which saved Chaffey from fire hazard citations.

The goats are such a fixture of the cam-pus now that few students understand that they have a practical purpose.

Krystine Calles, psychology major, ventured a guess.

“I know the land belongs to the school and I think they use the goats to clear away the grass because the school is going to ex-pand,” she said.

Other students had no idea what the goats were for.

Gonzales is proud of the service that his goats provide and points out that his goats are cheaper and less harmful to the land than other alternatives.

“It’s much easier to use a goat than a tractor or a weed whacker. Goats won’t destroy the landscape or erode the topsoil like a tractor can. They’re a good deal at a dollar a day,” he said.

Along with the service that Gonzales’ goats provide, he also helps with the sur-veillance of the Chino campus.

“I’m here seven days a week,” he said. “I monitor all the buildings and if I see anything suspicious, I tell them to leave before I call the cops.”

MICHELLE MENESGoats, owned by George Gonzales of Ranchito Tivo Boer Goats, are an inexpensive and environmentally friendly method of landscaping.

HANAJUN CHUNG

Sam Raimi’s 1981 original Evil Dead is considered a horror classic by fans, a film that inspired countless future films and filmmakers in the genre.

Even in today’s climate of remakes and reboots, Raimi’s original is one that’s still effective today, that the thought of remak-ing it almost seems blasphemous.

Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead doesn’t do anything wrong, but after decades of Raimi’s original formula put on-screen, it doesn’t leave the impact that it strives to achieve.

See if this sounds familiar: A group of kids retreat to a cabin deep in the woods — away from all the modern conveniences and necessities — only to encounter some horrifying happenings bent on destroying them.

Filmmakers have tried to tweak this for-mula in many creative ways, and Alvarez does attempt to do the same. David (Shiloh

Fernandez) and his friends decide to take (or trap) his heroin-riddled sister Mia (Jane Levy) in their old family cabin in the hopes of having her quit the habit cold turkey.

After one of the guests discovers an ancient book and reads from the pages, all hell breaks loose for the guests.

A bonus from great horror films - other than the thrills - comes from the life-af-firming feeling of having witnessed some-thing truly awful to someone else, through empathy in their experience.

The group relationship coupled with Mia’s addiction should have provided the heart to the horror of the film, but the result seems a bit forced and distracting. This is mainly due to a lazy script, focusing only on the setpieces and not the characters.

As an audience, we’re supposed to feel for these individuals, but all we get out of their relationship only exists in the exposi-tional dialogue.

And while it’s understandable that most films like these would simply use these

characters as body counts, the original re-ally sold the dynamic and relationship of the friends, making the dark turn all the more dreadful.

While it’s disappointing that the char-acters don’t really provide much heart or brain, Alvarez’s Evil Dead delivers the bloody goods. It’s almost as if his team decided that gore is the limit for today’s audiences, and then opted to increase the mayhem exponentially.

Bodies (and body parts) undergo pain and abuse in cringeworthy fashion. It’s vis-ceral and flinch-inducing went it happens, almost to the point in which this review-er had to cover his eyes. Almost. Several other elements such as the atmosphere and tone usually stay consistently unsettling in quieter moments, but it still doesn’t add to much of the soul of the film.

However, aside from the poor charac-terization and script, the last 15 minutes of this film are some of the best scenes of horror to come out in recent years. It’s

marvelously shot and executed (no pun in-tended), presenting some of the finest plot-ting and camerawork to close the film on a high note. Hemophobiacs beware. The film is covered with the red stuff, but last se-quence of the film literally rains down the blood.

Those tired of the found-footage or ex-orcism-type films of recent should check out the new Evil Dead, as it is an interest-ing look at how the formula has been af-fected since Raimi did it long ago. Don’t expect anything special, but be prepared for the spectacular violence.

The Good: The violence and gore are so cringeworthy, that one has to appreciate af-terwards the technique involved in creating those sequences for the camera.

The Bad: Still feels like a formulaic horror film.

Overall: C+

Evil Dead’s vicious violence can’t uplift the narrative

Cinco de Mayo- The Tasteologist is in the house and ready for Cinco De Mayo.

The holiday was originally created to celebrate the Mexican army’s victory in 1862 at the battle of Puebla, which took place during the Franco Mexican War. What started out as a fairly small Mexican holiday has grown into a greatly celebrated all day holiday event.

This hungry foodie wasn’t sure where to start when searching for a fun, fast food alternative for Cinco De Mayo.

From large scale to small fast food restaurants in the Inland Empire, there are so many choices.

This week I visited with Robert Carde-nas. co-owner of Chronic Tacos in Rancho Cucamonga.

The small restaurant has an edgy vibe and is plastered with surf and skateboard

stickers from head to toe. “We are expanding our restaurant into

the the building next door and we hope to have it completed in less than a month and a half,” Cardenas said. “We opened this lo-cation four-years-ago.

Chronic Tacos gives patrons several op-tions when ordering their custom

“Fatty Tacos” . Their food is made to order with several

variations of in-house freshly made salsa and toppings to choose from.

I tried one carne asada fatty taco, one chicken fatty taco and a two chicken enchi-ladas that were hearty indeed.

I asked Cardenas if he offered student

discounts. “We are signed up with several local

high schools” Cardenas said “it would be great to sign up with more.”

He also said he was interested in finding out about possibly offering some type of discount to Chaffey students in the future.

The first Chronic Tacos was founded in 2001. By Daniel A. Biello and Randall L. Wyner.

There are now more than 20 locations through out California and additional loca-tions in Arizona, Idaho and Canada.

The Rancho Cucamonga location is at 11920 Foothill Blvd.

TASTE: Chronic Tacos fuses Mexican tradition with Cali flair

JANET TRENIERChronic Tacos in Rancho Cucamonga serves up several types of salsa that is made fresh daily. Choose your spiciness level from mild to hot.

Music is alive at Chaffey.Whether it is passing the time or clear-

ing their heads between classes, students are always seen with headphones on. Ever wonder what somebody is listening to?

Marlon Jones, law enforcement major, has a go-to rap artist he enjoys.

“Wiz Khalifa's newest mixtape,” Jones said. “Because he is one of the hottest out there.”

With a lot of students also listening to hip-hop, Camron Jones, film major, listens to a mixture of old and new from one par-ticular artist.

“Eminem,” Camron said, “Because he's just real. He brings out the stuff that's go-ing on in his life.”

It's common to hear that hip-hop music is in a lot of people's ears and Anthony Pe-nalber, kinesiology major, listens to mostly rap as well.

“I'm listening to Earl Sweatshirt,” Pe-

nalber said. “I like his lyrics.”In addition, there are several other art-

ists he enjoys.“Nas, Earl and Mf Doom...Yea Mf

Doom.” Penalber said.Kaylin Young, kinesiology major, also

adds hip-hop as her favorite genre but doesn't limit herself.

“I listen to all kinds [of genres] except for metal and country,” Young said. “But I like Taylor Swift.”

Steering away from hip-hop, Veroni-ca Torres, communications major, gives a surprise artist that Pandora Internet Radio added for her listening pleasure.

“Sarah Bareilles,” Torres said. “It's called Love Song... It's on Pandora.”

With an uncommon answer like that the genres that are on the top of her favorites include Spanish Rock and Portuguese.

Danielle Sevilla, biology major, listens to calmer music.

“Christian music,” Sevilla said. “It's very calming for me. I'm a bio major. I have a lot of hectic classes and this calms me down.”

She didn't limit herself either. “Christian or classical. I like the piano

and guitar," Sevilla said. "I like very soft tempo music.”

But who can forget R&B? The soft sound of this genre is what Terrance Gresh-am, child development major, likes the most.

“R&B and hip-hop,” Gresham said, “but mostly R&B. I like it a lot.”

The mood always is a factor for most people.

“The mood I'm in if I'm getting ready for a game (basketball), I'll put some mood music on,” Greasham said. “Kendrick is good. Good Kid Maad City.”

Though hip-hop dominates, it isn't the only genre students are listening to.

THIAM CHEATWOOD

Panthers softball is working hard for first place. As the team heads to the play-offs, they are being led by applied science major Anjelica Cerecedes.

Cerecedes plays third base for the Pan-thers. “She has been the leader for the last two years,” coach Jimmy Rodriguez said. “She is a leader on and off the field. She is also a spiritual leader for the team.”

The girls on the team talk about Cere-cedes lovingly. “She always has a positive attitude,” Emily Jaimes, communication and dance major said, “She never really gets angry and she is a really strong play-er.”

For Cerecedes, prayer is a large part of her game she attends Calvary Chapel in Diamond Bar. Cerecedes says her mom was the first in their family to start attend-ing there and soon after became a Chris-tian. Her mom is the one who encourages her in her Christian faith and education.

“She is my biggest cheerleader”, says Cerecedes.

The softball team has always prayed before games, but now they also end their games with prayer.

“She brings faith to the team by praying for us before and after each game,” Alex-andria Haro business major said, “Praying is a real pick me up. Anjelica is very gen-uine about praying for us and the different things that are going on in our lives other than softball.”

Even though the team is doing well Ro-driguez said, “The praying helps to bring a calm soothing effect. It helps us all to re-member that it is not just about the wins or losses.”

Even though she had played travel ball since she was five years old, Cerecedes had never played third base until she started playing for the Panthers.

She is majoring in applied science and is hoping to become a physician’s assistant for Kaiser Hospital one day.

“The reason I want to be a physician’s assistant is because my mom jokingly said, ‘Well you will have to take care of me when I am older,’” Cerecedes said.

Cerecedes has taken that challenge to heart. Although she has enjoyed softball she is not sure if she will play next year as she attends Azusa Pacific University in the Fall.

Being able to go there has been a dream of hers since she graduated from high school. She also knows that with the de-mand of sports comes time.

“I really want to dig into my major,” she said.

One thing Cerecedes is looking forward to the most is having to minor in Bible studies at APU.

“I am not doing this for myself,” she said. “I am doing this for God and what his will is for me.”

Clearly, Cerecedes is already changing peoples’ lives — and there are many more to come.

The Chaffey Cats faced the San Ber-nardino Valley Wolverines on April 18 at Lowder Field in the second game of a three-game set that began at San Ber-nardino on April 16. The Panthers fell for the second straight game to the Wol-verines, 5-4.

“The better team always wins the close ball game. They always find a win to get it done, and they were better to-day” head coach Jeff Harlow said.

Chaffey and Bernardino have never had a an easy relationship. The schools have been rival for more than 50 years, and it didn’t get any easier on Thurs-day. The Wolverines win against the Panthers came at the exact moment of San Jacinto’s loss against College of the Desert. San Bernardino and San Jacinto were tied for first in the Foothill Con-ference.

The win clinches the conference title

for the Wolverines as well as a playoff spot.

“ I didn’t know what the game meant other than we wanted to win, Harlow said, “That explains the celebrating on our field. Well, when you haven’t won a conference title since 2004, you can do that.”

The tension between the two teams was evident from the start of the game.

“We played this game to win,” Har-low said, “That is how we approach ev-ery game we played good enough to win Tuesday and we played good enough to win today.”

The Panthers put numbers on the board at the bottom of the first inning when Kyle Jackson scored on a sacrifice by Mason Shiflett. SBVC responded in the fourth inning with a home run into left field by third baseman A.J David.

“Our execution was good enough to win, but when we had runners in scor-ing position we didn’t flatten the ball out. We hit in the air,” Harlow said.

Tension escalated and tempered flared when home run by outfielder Isa-iah Delsi was called into question by the San Bernardino coaching staff. The homer had gone right under the score-board and was out of Lowder field. Af-ter some deliberation by the umpires, the run stood and the Panthers led, 2-1.

In the top of the ninth the Cats were down 5-3 and Chaffey changed pitch-ers twice in an attempt to shut down the Wolverines.

The move worked, but the Panthers could manage just one tally in the bot-tom of the ninth.

After the game players exchanged insults and cuss words were said.

“They are very competitive, more competitive than we have been in the past. We need to learn a little bit from how they played but not how they act-ed,” Harlow said.

The Panthers continued the series on April 20, then begin a series against Barstow on Tuesday, April 23.
