“Bright Lights, City Nights” homecoming enjoyed by all03
CASEY CONTRERASStaff Writer
This year’s Homecoming season comes to a close with “Bright Lights, City Nights.” With a budget ��ȱ��ȱ����������ȱǞŘśǰŖŖŖȱ���ȱ�ȱ �������ȱ�Ĵ�������ȱof nearly 1,500 students, this year’s Homecoming dance was surely an event to remember. All of the credit for the organization of this event goes to the Commissioners of Dance: Allison Vergara 12, Emily Olson, 11, and Geordyn Coker, 12, who spent almost two months planning. They started from choosing the theme to coordinating corsages with tuxes. These leaders know that organization is key. “I was really thrilled with the outcome! It was the biggest homecoming so far at VMHS and I liked the way we chose to set things up, it felt very spacious!” said Vergara. Planning an event that will serve an entire �������ȱ ���¢ȱ ��ȱ �ȱ ��Ĝ����ȱ ����ǰȱ ���ȱ ����ȱ ������ȱ ��ȱdone without careful planning. Especially when part ��ȱ�ȱ�����Ĵ��ǰȱ������ȱ���ȱ������ȱ�����������ȱ���ȱthese three easily overcame that. “We made sure to stay on top of things and organized, we made MANY to do lists and we made sure to communicate with one another regularly! Communication is key!” explained Vergara. Not only did they have to plan the school dance, but also the Homecoming football game half time show and court announcements. “The hardest part, well everything was stressful, but I would have to say the half time show �������ȱ �ȱ �����ȱ��ȱ����ȱ��ȱ��ě�����ȱ���ȱ�������ȱ���ȱ ��ȱ ��ȱ����ȱ ��ȱę����ȱ ���������ȱ���ȱ ����ȱ ���ȱwith the theme,” said Vergara. And special it was. The Homecoming Court King and Queen titles went to James Jesperson and Meghan Goulet. The Half Time show was a skit on New York gossip magazines and a parade of themed ���������ȱ Ě����ȱ ����ȱ ��� �����ȱ ���ȱ ��� ����ȱ
of sixteen court members. A lot of hard work and time went into creating the crowned royalty which is a moment that they could remember for the rest of their lives. Same can be said for any other student who �Ĵ�����ȱ ����ȱ ¢���Ȃ�ȱ ���������ȱ �����ǰȱ ��ȱ ����¢ȱwas a night to remember. With a ‘Make your own Video’, Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream, Laser Tag, smoothies, and a DJ, the dance was packed with things to do. An overwhelming amount of things.
“I learned to not stress as much because if I take things one day at a time then everything will fall into place,” explained Vergara. The stresses of Homecoming are now behind and Winter Formal is approaching. Already in the process of being planned, this next dance is one of the last big awaited events of the year, apart from Graduation and Prom.

CAMERON TU
Editor-in-Chief
No more than three years ago, in this very
publication, I wrote about Redbox. I praised its
����������ǰȱ ���ȱ ����������ǰȱ ���ȱ �Ĝ�����¢ǰȱ ���ȱ ���ȱoverall superiority to (then) commonplace video
rental stores, like Blockbuster and Hollywood
video. Almost all of the things that were true
then, remain true now. Redbox is innovative,
�����¢ǰȱ �Ĝ�����ǰȱ ���ȱ ��������ǯȱ �����¢ǰȱ ���ȱ ���¢ȱthing that’s changed is how I feel about Redbox.
Where praise and optimism once stood, remains
pessimism, chagrin, and, daresay I, anguish.
Redbox was at the forefront of the advent of
��¢������¢ȱ ��������ȱ�������ȯ����ȱ����������Ĵ��ȱ���ȱDVDs—being converted into purely digital media,
physically intangible. Sure, Redbox didn’t do quite
this; it merely set the stage for it. Redbox helped
to stream the entire movie rental process. It cut the
overhead dramatically. Where several thousand
square-feet of space, endless shelves, and plastic
“wasted” on printing movie box covers were once
��������ȱ�����ȱ�ȱ��Ĵ��ȱ�����ȱ������ȱ��ȱ��ȱ����ȱ����ȱŗŗȱ ������Ȭ����ǯȱ ���ȱ ��Ĵ��ȱ ��¡ȱ ���������ȱ ����¢�����ȱit needed inside,
��ȱ ��ȱ �����ě��ǰȱand it ran 24/7.
In every way it
trampled, maimed,
and discarded the
“Achilles’ heel” of
movie rental stores.
How? Simply put,
it was cheaper.
This, in turn,
�������¢ȱ �ě�����ȱthe renters—lower
overhead meant
lower rental
costs. At $1/night
Redbox is undoubtedly cheaper than Blockbuster
ever was. But that might still not be a good thing.

Does Redbox hire dozens of Broncos? No, and it
never will. It’s a kiosk, an un-manned one at that,
���ȱ��ȱ����ȱ���ȱ���¢ȱ����ȱ��ȱ������ȱ�ȱ���ěȱ�Ĵ������ȱto it is paradoxical. Sure, someone will be required to
��������ȱ���ȱȃę��Ȭ��Ȅȱ���ȱ�����¡ǰȱ���ȱ ���Ȃ�ȱ���ȱ����ȱtime you saw that happening? Personally, I have yet to
see it. Blockbuster, on the other hand, did hire Broncos.
ȱ �������ȱ �������ȱ Ě� ȱ ���ȱ ���ȱ �����¡ȱsystem is that it is centered on a machine. A machine
will not provide customer service, assistance,
or anything else that its human-counterpart
can be expected to do. All it can be expected to
do is distribute and collect DVDs in the most
impersonal manner as possible, if it’s even working.
I’ve encountered more than my fair share of
rental troubles through Redbox and
Blockbuster. With Redbox, I’ve had
to deal with $1 being “stolen” from
me. I rent my movie, take it home,
put it into the Blu-Ray player and get
the “disc error” message. Now what
am I supposed to do? Complain to
an employee about a scratched disk?
I can’t, because there isn’t anyone
to complain face-to-face to. “1-800”
helplines are either never helpful
or open when
you need them.
I ’ v e
dealt with the
same problem at
Blockbuster. However, the “no play”
��������ȱ ��ȱ�� �¢�ȱę¡��ǯȱ���ȱ��ȱ����ȱwas a simple 5-minute drive back to
the store, asking to see the service
rep, and receiving a replacement.
This brings me to my next
argument, which borders on the
minutia. Redbox is impersonal.
Blockbuster wasn’t. Perhaps my
brightest memory of Blockbuster was going to the
store with my dad to pick up a movie. I’d enter the
store, and pass through the rotating circle-barrier
to be greeted by endless rows of shelves holding
hundreds, if not thousands of movies, surrounded
by larger-than-life movie posters, cutouts, and
themed wallpaper. Does Redbox have that? No. Will
Redbox ever give you the opportunity to hold, and
look, at the box of the movie you’re about to get? Will
��ȱ���� ȱ¢��ȱ��ȱ��ȱ��������ȱ��ȱ�ȱ�������ȱ��ȱę��ǵȱ����ȱit ever give you an un-needed movie poster, cutout,
or banner? The answer to all of those questions is,
simply, no. Redbox has no boxes (paradoxically),
no immersion (unless touchscreens excite you), and
no movie posters, cutouts, or banners to give you.
Blockbuster is gone, and I guess we’ll all have
to deal with that. The “Blockbuster” imposter that
has been left behind is no more than the orphan child
of the old bygone Blockbuster and dominant-in-this-
time Redbox. Blockbuster has so few physical locations
and has, in vain, been trying to distribute movies
�����ȱ ����ȱ ���ȱ ���Ě�¡ȱ ���ȱ �����¡ȱ ������ǯȱ �Ȃ��ȱseen a “Bluebox”,
���ȱ��ȱ ��ȱ�Ĵ���¢ȱdistasteful. I’ve
seen their online
d i s t r i b u t i o n
website and it, too,
was distasteful.
F o r
me the only
real, physically
t a n g i b l e ,
reminder of what
is now vanished
are two movies
posters, from Inception and X, that were given to us
by Blockbuster employees on their last day of work.
They hang above our Dell “Vista View” computers
as a reminder that maybe old isn’t bad. It, personally,
gives me hope that people will see that newspapers are
quickly becoming the “Blockbuster” of their industry.

Everyone has rooted for a favorite team, but have you ever taken the time to get to know the individuals that make up the team? If not, then here’s your chance, because it’s time to meet an important member of the boys varsity wrestling team, Vandrick Cruz. Cruz has high hopes for himself this season. Making his debut last year on varsity wrestling, ��ȱ �����ȱ ��ȱ ��ȱ ���ȱ ��ȱ ���ȱ ę����ȱ ����ȱ ¢���ǯȱ ������ȱwrestling may be a winter sport, Cruz has taken the extra time to improve on what he has learned in varsity wrestling as well as keeping his grades up in order to meet his 3.5 GPA requirement and to play for the team and maybe earn a patch or two for his ��Ĵ�����Ȃ�ȱ ������ȱ ��ȱ ���ȱ �������ǯȱ ���£ȱ ��������ȱ ��ȱhis fellow team members and thinks that they will �������ȱ�¡����������¢ȱ ���ȱ��ȱ���ȱę����ȱ����ȱ¢���ǯ

Cruz realizes that Murrieta Valley and Great Oak will prove challenging to him and his team, but he is also
positive that the team has grown to where they can overcome these formidable wrestling forces. Cruz has also made another realization: there are two important hindrances that he must defeat to meet his many goals. “I need to improve my mental toughness, ����ǰȱ ���ȱ�Ĵ�����ȱ�ȱ�����ȱ���ȱ����ȱ ���ǯȱ�ȱ����ȱ����ȱ��ȱimprove my overall technique,” Cruz stated. The funny thing is, though, that wrestling ��ȱ ���ȱ ���£Ȃ�ȱ ę���ȱ ������ȱ ��ȱ �ȱ �����ȱ �����ǯȱ�Ĵ�������ȱ��ȱ����ȱ���ȱ����������ȱ����ȱ���ȱ��������ȱyear, he was turned down despite his natural ability.

Cruz has set many achievable goals that he is certain that he and the team will achieve with some good old blood, sweat, and tears. However, he is also aware of the impending dangers from other local schools, his mental performance, and his technique, all of which will help properly motivate Cruz to work harder than he already has. If Cruz can overcome these important obstacles, then the only thing to worry about is how far the team will go this winter season.

Andy Rucker, the head coach of boys basketball, feels that the boys will be performing at an optimal level this season because of the overall structure of the team. Rucker also shed some light on his reasons to believe why the boys will be exceptional. “We’ve got six seniors and the team’s performance level is further along than last year,” Rucker said. “All of these factors bid well for us this season.” This is an impressive stroke of
Allison Turner , 11, spends a lot of her free time in the water. She is an active participant on both the varsity swim team and the water polo team. “I’ve been on VMHS Varsity Swimming since freshman year. I took it up because at the time I had been in club swimming for about two years at an awesome club called M.E.S.A. Aquatics and I was eager to start school swim. I also play water polo which I �������ȱ�¢ȱę���ȱ����ȱ����ȱ���¢���ȱ��ȱ��ȱsophomore year last fall, and this year I have been practicing with the varsity team.” Turner stated. She explained that M.E.S.A. Aquatics and Vista’s swim team aren’t ����ȱ ��ě�����ǯȱ ����ȱ ���ȱ �������ȱ ���ȱdemanded much from the swimmers in a way that motivated them to get ��Ĵ��ȱ�����ǯȱ���ȱ��������ȱ����ȱ���ȱ����ȱand that each have taught ���ȱ ��ȱ ��ě�����ȱways. Neither is ��Ĵ��ȱ ����ȱ ���ȱother and she wouldn’t want to have to give up one for the other. Turner started Water Polo �Ğ��ȱ �������������ȱ �¢ȱ ���ȱ ��ȱ ���ȱfriends. Her goal this year for water polo is to become a varsity starter. For swim, her goal is to bring down her ����ȱ����ȱ���ȱ���ȱęĞ¢ȱ�����ȱ����ȱ������ȱfrom last season by two seconds. Her competitive spirit is what motivates her to push herself towards her goal. “My favorite thing about Water Polo is the team aspect of the sport and the bonds that you form with your friends on the team, as well as its competitiveness. For swim, I like the fact that it is an individual sport that only you can push yourself
in, and see the results of your on hard work manifest within your dropped times,” Turner explained. The bonds
in water polo, she believes, are much more close-knit than those made on the swim team. The team aspect of water polo led to the establishment of a core �����ȱ��ȱ �������ǰȱ ���������¢ȱ��ȱ ���ȱ ��ȱteam. Their ability to work cohesively and the varying personalities is what she believes drew them together. While in swim, the sport is much more individual, she explained, and you rely on yourself more than anyone. “I’m a really diligent person, and I just try to do my best in everything to make it worthwhile.” Turner said.

Indie artist Walter Cabal produces unique beats
DECEMBER 5, 2011
CASEY CONTRERAS
Staff Writer
Walter Cabal, a solo acoustic singer/songwriter, has taken his love for creating original, meaningful lyr-ics and made it more than just a “career”. Born and raised in Southern Cali-fornia, Cabal’s passion for mu-sic started in the seventh grade. After a band break up in late 2009, Cabal took his musical tal-ents solo and has been performing at local touring acts and various venues for the past two years. Cabal claims to get inspiration from various sources, whether it be musicians or authors, such as C.S. Lewis and Dustin Kensrue. However, his passion comes from his drive of creating authentic music. “I'm interested in seeking out what's true and what's meaningful. There's a realness that happens when the artists I look up to try to wrestle authentically with ideas through their songs. I'm interested in that. It makes me sad that a lot of people, even a lot of my friends, are tricked into valuing music that's about... noth-ing. I think a lot of my passion in writ-ing music is a reaction to that. I tend to want to write against a kind of unre-Ě������ȱ�������ǰȄȱ����ȱ�����ǯȱ Current pop culture appears to have swayed to favor music with low artistic value. Many songs do mean nothing and have no particular meaning, other than to sell. Consum-ers these days have low expectations for lyrical merit, but if you look hard enough there are plenty of artists and musicians around who make it their focus to create art rather than a prod-uct. “I've been doing all of what I do for-mally for about the last two years. I'm sure that it's not in pursuit of a career in
music, though. I think the value of art is something that compels me to play. When it turns into chasing a music ca-reer I think some of the luster is lost. Some of the realness becomes caught ��ȱ ��ȱ �������ȱ ���ȱ ę�����ǯȱ ��ȱ �����ǰȱ
that's what happened to me - so I stopped playing shows for about two months until it was once again about the value of the things I was singing about, instead of about the career,” commented Cabal. ȱ �ȱę���ȱ���ȱ������ȱ�����ȱ��ȱ���ȱ“Chain Reaction” in Anaheim when he was opening for Robert ��� ��ĵ���ǯȱ �ȱ ę��ȱ ����ȱ �����ȱ
venues, therefore small crowds, give the optimum p e r f o r m a n c e value for music lovers. You can really get a taste of the artists’ per-sonal style and vibe. Most big artists get lost in the hype and their music be-gins to lose it’s personal touch and the musician hardly seems like an artist, rather a product. It is a ����ȱ�����ȱ��ȱę��ȱa musician these days who merely performs their music for the love of it instead of personal gain. “I'm not sure if I'm at the cali-ber to collaborate with who I want
to. Maybe I'd collaborate with some band with out a singer like Jakob or the Mercury Program, maybe even Helios. �����ȱ �����ȱ ����ȱ �����¢ȱ ��Ě������ȱ �ȱlot of my faves,” said Cabal. Every musician is inspired ���ȱ ��� �ȱ �����ȱ ����ȱ �������ȱ ��Ě�-ences, and Cabal has opened for a wide enough mix of bands to claim so. If you are interested about hearing more about Cabal, on Nov. 11 at Cafe Libertalia in San Diego, Walter Cabal will be performing with Drea Marylin and more. Not only that, but he has a full length album on it's way in the next few months titled Between Lines. Be sure to check him out and if you like what you hear buy his album and help fuel his passion for music.

The Swedes can make amazing Indie music. The Radio Dept.’s Clinging to a Scheme has a relaxing ����ȱ ����ȱ ��ȱ ���ȱ ���ȱ ���Ĵ����ȱtracks to raise the tempo which then smooth out into something serene, similar to the calm feeling one gets during a rainy car ride. The Radio Dept. is a relatively unknown band that comes from the country that �����ȱ������ȱ���ȱ���ȱ���ȱę�����ȱyear round. The Radio Dept. was started by Elin Amlered and Johan Duncanson in 1995 and was signed by Swedish indie label Labrador Records in 2001. Clinging to a Scheme is the latest album in the bands discography. I n Clinging to a Scheme, The Radio Dept.’s songs do not follow what mainstream songs do. There is no chorus that is replayed 90 times throughout the song, nor is there a simple beat like in a Nicky Minaj song, which makes Clinging to a Scheme beautiful to hear. The song “Never Follow Suit” has a part where the vocals stops and plays “All these other people who don’t write ,they’re excluded, I don’t care about them, They don’t ��Ĵ��ȱ ��ȱ��ǰ It’s for us, It’s for us” from the Hip-Hop Documentary Style Wars. The Radio Dept. brings back a t e c h n i q u e that was used in the mid 90’s in �ȱ ��ě�����ȱgenre of music, a throwback to an era of rap where ���ȱ �����ȱ ���ȱ �����ȱ ��Ĵ��ǯȱ
Exactly what the Radio Dept. is doing, changing the rules. Clinging to a Scheme is a gem, which no one gets to hear. The songs ����ȱ �����ȱ ��������ǰȱ �����ȱ �� ��Ĵ��ȱ
rules of music such as long e l e c t r o n i c solos and m u z z l e d vocals. These rules that The Radio Dept. broke make music d i f f e r e n t f r o m anything I have ever heard. The album evokes a relaxing emotion that is unique and one has to experience f o r themselves. It’s a contrast of happiness of life and the sadness of the world. More bands need to start making their own sound. The sound of The Radio Dept. is unique, it’s their sound. Many bands that are a p p e a r i n g into the music players of Europe have their sound, when one listens to European m u s i c , e s p e c i a l l y E u r o p e a n Indie; it’s s o m e t h i n g new and e x c i t i n g . One feels the emotions that the lyrics
speak, and the tempo does not have to be what one would expect. This challenge of what we expect makes bands like The Radio Dept. feel special. If you expect a cliché The Radio Dept. will disappoint, but if you want something new, unique, and garden fresh Clinging to a Scheme should be in your iTunes checkout in 20 minutes. The fact that Labrador Records let The Radio Dept. make music that they wanted, not what the shareholders wanted, made for
music that is superior to anything on Billboard’s “Hot 100.”

WEEKENDBad Seed brings entertainment to audiences
DECEMBER 9, 2011

The drama department puts on a thrilling and suspenseful perfor-mance called The Bad Seed to start of the 2011-2012 school year. This play is by Maxwell An-derson, but the novel is by William March.ȱ ���ȱ ����������Ȃ�ȱ ��Ĵ���ȱ ��ȱin Kenneth and Christine Penmark’s apartment in the suburb of Southern City. Nenneth Penmark is played by Jake Wagner, 12. Christine Penmark is played by Krista Palmer, 12, Cayla Christensen, 12. There were eight scenes in the whole play. This produc-tion had a double casts. Some charac-ters had two actors and some had one. The Bad Seed primarily re-volves around a young eight year old girl named Rhoda Penmak (played by Jesselyn Yaegar, 12). She is the antago-nist of the play being evil and devious on the inside, but on the outside she is seen as a sweet, mature, friendly young girl who is loved and admired by her friends and parents. One day after sending Rhoda to school, Chris-tine Penmark and her two neighbors hear horrible news on the radio. One of Rhoda’s schoolmates drowned in the river, but no one knew what had happened. He had won a penmanship medal that Rhoda had wanted to win
badly. Throughout the whole play Christine Penmark was suspicious of her daugh-ter because R h o d a acted as if no one had died. Chris-tine Pen-mark takes a long time ��ȱ ę����¢ȱrealize that her daugh-ter is an evil ��Ĵ��ȱ ����ȱand that she was behind the death of the boy and later on many more deaths. Y a e g a r praised the play by not-ing, “Usual-ly our mu-sicals get a ��Ĵ��ȱ ����ȱa t t e n t i o n , but I was really im-pressed with how many people came out to see the show. I loved it.”

His solo album has been a work in progress since 2007; much of which has been scrapped and started over. All the songs on the album were ��Ĵ��ȱ ���ȱ ������-ed in his home. For a time, a Tibetan monk named Kun-chok lived in his ����ȱ ���ȱ �Ĵ�����ȱUCLA. Kunchok ��ȱ ���ȱ ę���ȱ ����ȱto obtain a Doctor-ate in the United States, and has since established the Ti-betan Healing Fund, which provides medical care to women and children living in rural villages.

From the funky-fun of “Funny Mon-ey” to the inspirationally beautiful “Just a Dream Away,” this album is a must-have for any Rooney fan or 60’s music fanatic.
As an avid Rooney fan, this solo album ���ȱ����ȱ����ȱ� �����ǯȱ�ȱ�Ĵ�����ȱ���ȱę���ȱ ��� ȱ ��ȱ ������ȱ ��� ��ĵ���Ȃ�ȱtour to receive the album early and I was not disappointed. Surprisingly, the album was the polar opposite of “ normal” Rooney music, however, it was still equally amaz-ing. This album was such a big break from the music of Rooney, you won’t believe the man who wrote the mu-sic is the same person. I really cannot
describe the music. Perhaps I would call it a mix of the 60’s and the 80’s.

years only to donate all the proceeds to a charity. I cannot rave about this album ������ǯȱ ��� ��ĵ���Ȃ�ȱ �������ȱ ��ȱto deliver an album true to his talent and he succeeded.

Another actress was going to play Rhoda but she had to drop out for personal reasons before Previews. Yaegar did an excellent job adjusting with the other cast even though it was challenging for her. The Bad Seed was a marvelous play to go see. It was suspensful, and well-acted making it fun to watch.

Subjectivity aside, The Ides
of March really does have every-
thing going for it. It has not one, but
two, main characters--depending
on your views, you may feel that
the movie follows one more than
the other--Mike Morris (Clooney)
