The main campus has been dealing with a case of contagious tuberculosis in recent weeks.

With the help of college officials the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health has been able to contact and evaluate everyone who is at risk.

Free TB skin tests were offered to the people contacted.

TB is a bacteria that primality affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body, such as the brain, kidneys, liver, and spine.

Two information sessions concerning TB were held on campus in the HS building on Apr. 10 and 15. The Department of Public Health hosted the sessions and reassured the students that to catch TB you would need to be in close contact with someone with active TB for a long amount of time (at least 8 hours).

Persons who were not able to attend the information session can watch it online at http://is.chaffey.edu/StreamingMedia/TB_Testing.htm

The department also informed the students that TB can only be transfered through the air. Eating or drinking after an infected person or touching an open wound will not transfer the TB bacteria.

They also explained that TB is only contagious in its active form. If you were infected with TB you would first have latent TB.

Latent TB has no side affects and only roughly 10 percent of people with latent TB develop active TB. The most common symptoms of TB disease include:

Severe coughing for more than 2 weeks.

• Coughing up blood or phlegm• Pain in the chest• Decreased appetite• Unexplained weight loss• Chills• Night sweats• Fever• Fatigue or extreme tiredness“The college has been consistent on

transparency.” said Dr. Ali Rahmani, Vice President of Student Services, “[Chaffey] needs to be transparent so we do not make it difficult for the county to do its job.”

To report any other cases of TB on campus call Student Health Services at; 909-652-6331

Anyone with question concerning TB can call the San Bernardino Department of Public Health at 1-800-722-4794.

Tuberculosis Case a Cause for Concern

The Associated Students of Chaffey College election results are in, and they show a landslide victory in the

running for President/Student Trustee and Vice President of Administration.

A total number of 683 students that cast votes for the election of 2009-2010 student officers, and James Applewhite II took 499 of them to win the title of ASCC President. Jia Clark also won by a landslide in the running for vice president with 489 votes.

“This is one of the greatest accomplishments that I ever achieved in my life,” said Applewhite.

He was elated about getting the students involved.

“I want the students to use me as their tool to things that they want possible,” said Applewhite.

While currently pursuing his major in business he plans to get students to be a part of the change that is taking place while he is president.

“My main focus is to support the students,” Clark said. “I want to make sure the senators get involved with the students.”

Clark, also a business major, wants to bridge the gap between ASCC and the students, as well as the faculty.

“Keeping students informed on what the upcoming events are,” Clark said is important, “so we can enjoy our opportunity to be at this institution and rise together.”

Several students also won senate seats in next year’s student government. They included Bryant Abodoh, Ilse Argueta, Andrea Cabrera, Rachel Dailey, Christy Tiriatunggal, and Nicholas Walker.

In concurrent voting, students also

voted for Faculty of the Year, with that honor going to Robert Nazar of the English department. Staff Member of the Year went to Sonia Juarez, Administrative Assistant in Student Activities.

By all accounts, it was a good, clean election, with no low blows or casualties. But one thing for sure is that there is a new student government that promises to involve the students and bring about positive change while giving them a voice.

BEEN BETTER JIMMY Purcell

www.beenbettercomic.com

It’s been all over the papers, TV and radio stations: Pirates on the high seas.

At first I thought I was looking at some strange ad for another Disney pirate movie, but after buying the L.A. Times and reading, I was interested to find out that pirates still roam the seas.

No, these are not the pirates that we read about in grade school, the ones who buried their treasure on some deserted island and sang Yo-Ho-Ho and a Bottle of Rum.

These Pirates are 17-years-old (and some even younger) driving busted up boats and hi-jacking crews for ransom money off the coasts of Somalia. It was just recently that an American captain, Richard Phillips, and his crew were held hostage and ransomed.

President Obama reacted by sending in the good old go-to guys of the U.S. Navy, the Navy Seals. True to their character and skill, they were successful in saving the captain and crew. It will only be a matter of time before a book deal is thrown out there and shortly after a made-for-TV special will air on ABC.

Obama did what any good leader should: He stood up and did what he could peacefully. When that failed, he broke out the hickory switch and whooped some pirate ass in a way that would make old Captain Morgan proud. But I am left wondering is, how bad is the world that young kids have to resort in piracy in order to survive? How did we miss this for so long?

To me this is no surprise! For so long we as Americans have buried our heads in the sand to neglect what’s going on outside our borders. We learned this lesson first at Pearl Harbor and we then were given this same lesson on 9/11.

But for some reason this wasn’t enough. So what happens now, we have pirates raiding boats off the shores of third world countries and the only time we care is when an American crew is taken hostage. What is it going to take for Americans to look past our own borders to see there is a whole world out there — and a good portion of them HATE US!

Even though I live by that great Mark Twain quote, “Politicians are like diapers: They both need changing regularly for the same reasons,” I’d like to think that President Obama has finally taken us in the right direction.

With his actions and his statements declaring a war on pirates, he has shown that we as Americans are not only worried about our problems, but the problems abroad. He has seen that although the problems in Africa may not affect us today, there is a good chance that our negligence of that region will cause us headaches later.

I stress caution though. Obama is a politician and you don’t spend $75 million on TV airtime and not owe someone somewhere a few favors. He is capable of all the same pit falls that all politicians face: the fear that he has to run once more for office in four years.

Pirates, Diapers,

and Obama

A lecture was held April 9, revolving around certain issues regarding the worsening economy, how the

economy got to where it is today, and how the economy is going to get out of it.

Three Chaffey professors structured the event, Bret McMurran of economics, Cynthiya Parker of economics, and Abel Chen on the business department. All of whom gave their insightful opinions of the situation that America is in.

Parker started out by providing historic background to previous recessions and what led up to the Great Depression. Stating that during the Great Depression there was a 25% unemployment rate versus the 8% unemployment rate that Americans are faced with today. But why are people losing their jobs, and what can people do to recover from these terrible situations?

Parker explains what led to the demise of top businesses like AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Parker explained that depositors are placing money in the bank, where the bank is then placing it on reserve, so companies like these can not get loans and now people can not make the payments. “We need to keep the economy flowing so we can keep money flowing,” said Parker.

Professor Chen explains how corporate offices are run, beginning with shareholders and the shareholder’s rights to a company’s assets are subordinate to the rights of the company’s creditors. Shareholders play

an important role in raising capital for organizations. “These figures pose a great opportunity for those who are looking for a lucrative option to invest money,” said Chen.

One student asked, “Who is responsible, and is America doing the necessary things to get out of it, and if not what should Americans do?” McMurran advises that America is built on learning blocks and Americans have learned from the Great Depression how to avoid another. “We need not to make the same mistakes,” said McMurran. FDIC is doing a great deal from having the economy head in to another Great Depression, as well as other organizations like TARP and TALF. The TALF is 200 billion dollar lending program that is credited by the Federal Reserve.

The economic crisis is widely associated with the banking panics, and the recession coined with these panics, while other situations like stock market crashes, housing issues and the bursting of financial bubbles, its not hard to see why America is in this situation.

By now everyone knows that reckless and even predatory mortgage lending provoked the economic meltdown, but bad lending did not stop there. The easy money also fed a corporate buy out binge, with private equity firms borrowing huge sums to buy up public companies and pay themselves big dividends.

“First we need to know what change is needed, then make the necessary changes to make it right,” Chen said.

Parking Problems Persist; Off-Campus Sites NixedashleY IrIsh

The City of Rancho Cucamonga is now enforcing no college parking in the residential area

west of campus. Located at Amber Lane & San Felipe Court, “No Chaffey College Parking” signs are mounted on light posts.

Sgt. Paul Morrison, of Rancho Cucamonga Police Department, said residents approached City Hall requesting the posting of these signs.

“There have been multiple instances of students parking and blocking driveways and fire hydrants, trash being left, vandalism, and even personal confrontations with students,” Morrison said.

Morrison was concerned that this far into the semester students are still having trouble finding parking on campus, and understands why they would resort to parking off campus.

He acknowledged that the city was trying its best to find a resolution to this problem that benefits both the residents and the students.

The fine for parking in a posted area is $35.

Morrison said that vehicles could not be ticketed unless an officer saw the student leaving their vehicle and walking to campus, or returning to their vehicle from campus.

Cucamonga police, following new signage that went up recently.

Nine Chaffey College students will showcase new artwork in a variety of media and themes in the 32nd annual Student Invitational exhibition, Simplexity, that will run from April 20 to May 23 at the Wignall Museum.

From sculpture and mixed media to photography and drawing, this year’s show features work by Pamela Aliaga, Andrea Arriola, Andrea Benitez, John Leitmeyer, Laura Palm, Malina Rosales, Ryan Smith, Amy Stoshak, and Donel Williams.

In addition, a student graphic designer, Jenee Jernigan, and art critic, Taryn Gonzalez, were also selected to produce the exhibition identity, catalog and accompanying art writing.

Simplexity was created with the help of this year’s faculty advisor, Misty Burruel, as well as selected faculty advisors who helped motivate, inspire, and critique the artists as they created their new body of work for the show.

Malina Rosales, whose photographs feature a subdued, desaturated, noir new world, says that participation in the invitational is an honor, but also a lot of hard work.

“It was a challenging process that helped push me and my work to a new level,” says Rosales. “I was brainstorming, shooting, and critiquing every week.”

Students also serve as active participants in the course work and exhibition process.

According to Rebecca Trawick,

Wignall Museum’s Curator, “Because of the distinctiveness of this program, our interactions with the student artists are somewhat different from the ones we have with professional, established artists. With the Student Invitational program we are part of the teaching and learning process and the Wignall Museum serves as a hands-on learning lab for the students. Because of the many resources available to the SI artists, they’re able to accomplish a great deal in a compressed amount of time.”

“We’re always impressed with the final output and this year is no exception

- the strength of the work presented is apparent,” said Trawick. “The student artists, writer and designer have work incredibly hard to realize their projects and I think this year they’ve been incredibly successful in that goal.”

The opening reception is on Wednesday, April 29, 6-8 p.m., and as always, admission to the Wignall Museum is free.

For more information, you may view the Wignall Museum’s website at www.chaffey.edu/wignall or call (909)652-6492.

From ballet to hip hop, this year’s Dance Festival will fea-ture a diverse set of dances for students of all interests. Performances will include dance styles such as ballet,

jazz, hip hop, tap dance, and modern dance. While the various dance styles displayed in this show will all be incorporated as one, each type of dance will have a section dedicated to that one dance, in particular. “Each individual piece is its own unified theme,” said Michele Jenkins, dance instructor and artistic director of the Dance Festival 2009. The ballet performance, for example, will be based on Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and will include costumes similar to those of the film. Professor Michele Jenkins hopes that the wide range of dance styles and the humor included in this Dance Festival will attract more attention from the students. She also hopes this will inspire students to see and explore the arts. Aside from the humorous parts of the performances and the crazy costumes the dancers will have on, the Dance Festival 2009 will provide students with a number of surprises. “It’s something you don’t really get to see,” said Patrick Wells, a Theatre Arts major and dancer featured in various dances in the Festival. With a mixture of dance styles and themes, the Dance Festival will present engaging performances that everyone can enjoy. The Dance Festival 2009 will be held Thursday, April 30, through Saturday, May 2, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 3, at 2 p.m. For more information, contact the Theatre Box Office at (909) 652-6067.

To bring about awareness of World Health month, Student Health Services set up a table in the

Cafeteria on April 9. The table was hosted by registered nurse

Marrianna Byer and Desiree Manny. They were there bringing awareness to

such health issues as high blood pressure and diabetes and to inform the Chaffey College Community about the tuberculosis exposure e-mail that went out on April 7.

Byer informed that tuberculosis is curable if found and treated in time.

Many students are not aware that there are health services available to currently enrolled full and part time Chaffey College Students on the Rancho Cucamonga campus and off campus sites.

According to the SHS pamphlet handed out, “the purpose of SHS is to achieve and maintain optimum physical, mental and emotional health.”

They are committed to providing quality healthcare at a reasonable cost.

The SHS team is made of medical doctors, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed vocational nurse, counselors, secretaries, student educators and student workers who are trained to assist with medical problems in a professional and confidential manner.

SHS offers many services and for more information they can be reached at (909) 941-2178, on campus their extension is 2178.

Chaffey gets its chance to help students in need with its first ever Foster Youth Mentoring Program,

designed to assist and direct its participants to success while completing their time on campus.

While being able to receive resources, participants will be able to attend activities with their mentors while also being encouraged to actively participate in other events provided through the college.

“Current statistical information shows foster youth who age out of the foster care system lack skills to transition into adulthood,” said Foster Youth Mentoring Program coordinator Nashon Mitchell.

Statistics also show that 51 percent of former foster youth are unemployed, while 25 percent are incarcerated within two-years after leaving the foster care system.

Through the Foster Youth Program, students (mentees) may be able to overcome those statistics. Mitchell hopes the program can positively affect the lives of those in need.

The Museum of Tolerance and the Gettysburg Museum are possible activities in consideration for the program.

The program feeds off a peer-to-peer experience, with mentees and mentors able to share their experiences with one another to better understand and help students who have experienced a foster care.

Future mentors and mentees will be able to get their chance to see their future colleagues at a May 20 mixer, which will help to decide who will be mentoring each participant.

Contributors to the program include the (ILP) Independent Living Program and Boys Republic, both who work directly with the Foster Youth Program.

Proposed as early as August of last year, the grant will be active until July 30 of this year.

Students interested in being involved can find more information by contacting coordinator Nashon Mitchell though the Chaffey’s Chino Campus by calling (909) 652-7752, or by emailing to [email protected].

Normally when a reporter goes out on an assignment, they are supposed to be neutral and not

take any position on the subject. That all changed while I was taking

photographs and a man approached me and asked, “remember me?”

How could I forget, he only sat behind me in my American Government class during my senior year at Chaffey High School 29 years ago.

I took some time to visit and talk cars of course and to talk to the club members who were standing under the tents selling raffle tickets and registering participants. I find it amazing they were able to pull off a car show in such a short time.

I’m also a car and motorcycle guy so I know from personal experience being among the car and motorcycle clubs that it can take from ten months to a year to organize a show or event. So my hat is off to these young people for putting on a very nice show.

The owners of the cars also enjoyed themselves and liked the show and looked forward to next year.

Club members were all friendly and I also found out that their instructor Sherm Taylor graduated from Chaffey High School in 1979, one year ahead of me.

It is indeed a small world.

With the recent release

of Crank 2: High Voltage this past weekend it got me thinking, what are some of the best films that take place in a 24-hour period? i put together a list of the Top Ten films that take place in a day. There are a surprising number of movies that fit this criteria, but i am just going to narrow it down to my personal favorites. i do have some honorable mentions, like magnolia, Labyrinth, 25th Hour, and superbad. But below are some timeless pieces of film. 10. 12 Angry Men (1957)

With director sydney Lumet’s seminal court drama, it established a film genre all its own. it is, and should be, considered a film classic. It is a film filled with tension and drama. The claustrophobic smoke-filled jury room only adds more to the drama in the film.

9. Do the Right Thing (1989)Another New York based director like

Lumet, is spike Lee. A director who is not afraid to call out others in acts of racism or injustice, sometimes he does so unjustly. With this 1989 film, Lee cemented himself as an auteur yet he is in trouble of giving diminishing returns in style and execution. His own personal grudges and ideals keep getting in his way of making a film like this again. He got close with Malcolm X or his mainstream accepted Inside Man. But Do The Right Thing deserves every accolade and i can never hear Public enemy the same way again.

8. Dog Day Afternoon (1975)sydney Lumet is back on the list again,

with one of the best bank robbery films

ever. Fresh off his breakout role in Godfather, Al Pacino gives one of, if not the best performance of his career. As sonny Wortzik, he is compassionate, loving, a bit erratic, and endearing to everyone in the audience. He has no malicious behavior in the film; he is doing it for someone he loves. There are ups and downs in the film and it has one of the most iconic scenes in film history, where sonny steps outside of the bank and screams “Attica!” over and over again.

7. Die Hard (1988)Not only is this one of my favorite

Christmas movies, but also it’s one of my favorite movies ever! it has Bruce Willis being one of the most beloved characters in film, John McClane. It may not be up to par dramatically as other films on the list, but it is still one of the best action films ever.

6. Halloween (1978)John Carpenter has made a name for

himself making

exploitative science fiction/ horror/ and

action films. But with all his creativity and talent, Halloween is the one that resonates with me most. it is truly terrifying, michael myers a force of nature and cannot be stopped. i can’t go by a year without watching this film. especially in a dark and empty house.

5. High Noon (1952)People today may not get how big of

a deal it was, but High Noon was a major Hollywood production that focused on the Red scare and the looming threat of blacklisting in Hollywood. it is a powerfully effective Western in it’s own right, but knowing the John Wayne said at the time, it was the most un-American thing he has ever seen is kind of awesome.

4. Clerks (1994)I was only 11 when I first saw this film,

and i had no idea what they were saying. i didn’t understand the innuendos or even

how effectively the f-bomb was being used. But i knew it was something special. i waited a couple more years and revisited the film. Once I got some more years under my belt i loved this film. It’s short and to the point. You can tell it’s an independent

picture from the first frame. But it’s

the characters and dialogue that keeps

your attention.3. Goonies (1985)

I love this movie; it had pirates and a young Josh

Brolin. Honestly if any of you haven’t seen this, then you

have to correct this. it’s fun and captured my imagination as a little

boy. i wanted to be a mix of Data and Chunk. i wanted Chunk’s dance skills and Data’s ability to drop science.

2. Ferris Buellers Day Off (1986)i always wished i were as clever as

Ferris. Anytime i was sick from school i would put 2 movies on, and this was one of them. matthew Broderick became everyone’s favorite smart alec slacker. The film itself is a great showcase for Chicago, and a snapshot of Reagan America. This movie is an American Classic just as much as any other film on this list.

1. Dazed and Confused (1993)Just so no one gets it twisted, i don’t

smoke weed or drink really, but this is one of my favorite movies ever. it is also one of the most effective films to showcase a 24-hour period. it has memorable characters, dialogue, and set pieces. The cast is impressive, and is a preverbal who’s who of future film stars. It also has matthew mcConaughey in one of his best performances ever. seriously watch the film if you haven’t, you won’t be disappointed.

The Panthers devoured San Diego with hungry hitters and purring pitchers on Friday, April 10, at

home.Panther batters had their way scoring 18

runs on 20 hits, in the 18-4 dismantling of San Diego.

Chaffey starter Ernesto Rodriquez got in early trouble giving up four runs on five hits with two men left on base. The Panthers did not get discouraged. They took the field in the second inning and showed confidence with back-to-back doubles by Christ Lemus and Gerry Hernandez, that ignited their powerful offense. The Panthers finished the first inning down 4-3.

It was definitely not Rodriquez’s day. Pitcher Carlos Nakamura came in to relieve him in the second inning. He pitched shutout baseball throughout three consecutive innings, as the Panther batters continued to make connection with the ball, scoring three in the second, and another run in the third.

With a 7-4 lead in the top of the fifth inning, Chaffey summoned pitcher Colby Gurney to close the door. Three runs were more than enough room for Panther’s star hurler.

Gurney, who is now 8-0 on the season, finished the game with masterful command of all of his pitches. Gurney gave up just four hits while holding the San Diego batters scoreless. Chaffey went on to score at will throughout the game.

The Panthers are currently in second place behind San Jacinto. There are seven players on this team batting over .350, with at least 90 at bats, and a staggering team average of .353. Top hitters include:

Second baseman Christopher Hass is hitting .474; designated hitter JJ Costantino and shortstop Robert Escalera are both

averaging .427; left fielder Daniel Hall, .408; third baseman Hernandez, .396; centerfielder Lemus, .382; and rightfielder Willie Holmes, .361.

Other statistics: The Panthers are currently second place in the Foothill Conference, with a 11-8 record. They are third with 5.26 earned run average; second in league with a .493 slugging percentage; first in league with a .954 fielding percentage; and third with 49 stolen bases.

The next home game is against San Bernardino Valley, April 23, at 2:30 p.m.

San Diego Got Lured into the Panthers Den

Carlos Nakamura shuts down San Diego hit-ters in three early innings.

Gerry Hernandez can hit the low one too. He’s hitting .396.

Greg Allen is down after being hit by a pitch. An ambulance was called.Go “get ‘em” Gurney. Chaffey’s Colby Gurney shuts down San Diego.

JJ Costantino adds to his staggering .427 batting average with another single.

double in the eighthinning.
