A Glendora town hall meeting about the state immigration law ended in shouts and police intervening between immigration protestors on Oct. 11. A state fiscal and policy analyst, a Los Angeles County Sheriff commander and Glendora City Attorney William Wynder outlined state immigration laws, enforcement and the city’s position. City hall meetings over the summer were packed with residents protesting the city’s decision to join a federal lawsuit challenging California sanctuary state law—State Senate Bill 54. The lawsuit is making its way through courts, which Wynder said could take years to resolve. “We all know it’s going to end up before the supremes, so let’s move the process along,” Wynder said. Most of the hundred people in attendance at the town hall meeting supported the lawsuit. Many wore paraphernalia supporting President S E E T O W N HA L L • PAGE 7
Last of Measure G funds spent on ED remodel BY LUCAS PELAYO

The last major project funded by Measure G is the reconstruction of the Educational Development Building. Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Claudette Dain said in an email the remodel starts in winter or spring next year. “As of 10/16/18, there is approximately $5.6 million unspent in the Measure G bond fund, committed to complete the Campus Center project and to partially fund the ED building project,” Dain said in an email. The voters in the college district approved Measure G in 2004, a $121 million General Obligation Bond. Measure G was a result of the approval of California Proposition 39. The proposition required a twothirds majority vote from the district to use the funds for the proposed reconstruction. S E E E D • PA G E 7

OPINION
Extremist governments are a worldwide problem BY SAMMY FERNANDES STAFF REPORTER
SFERNANDES@CCCLARION.COM
Brazil’s 2018 elections are dividing citizens who are fighting against each other rather than fighting corruption in the country. Candidate Jair Messias Bolsonaro, 63, from the PSL political party — the “social liberal party”— is at the center of attention. He is known as the Brazilian Donald Trump due to his radical way of saying whatever comes to his mind. Like Trump, he has verbally attacked women, LGBTQ members and black people. These minority groups, including people with a low-income, are the ones who usually stand against him. Bolsonaro’s comments have made him a spotlight for fascist accusations all over the world. He has also been the reason for much of the political unrest in Brazil. His supporters and opponents have been fighting each other rather than addressing government corruption. What is happening in Brazil is similar to what is happening in the United States. Liberal opponents and conservative supporters of Trump are fighting against each other due to their rejection or support of the Trump’s policies. In both countries, the divides have run so deep that people are fighting each other in the streets. Bolsonaro suffered an assassination attempt during one of his

campaigns by an opposition-supporter who stabbed him in the abdomen. Americans should pay careful attention to what is happening in Brazil. As the largest country in South America, the results of Brazil’s runoff election could have a domino effect which could result in the rise of more far-right candidates. Trump’s alt-right political strategist, Steve Bannon is advising Bolsonaro’s campaign. The election in Brazil is an example of what happens when people
are tired of their government and are desperate for change. They become attracted to an authoritarian figure who rejects the way the government normally works. Similar to how many Americans view Trump, Brazilians will likely turn to an authoritarian—Bolsonaro won early rounds of voting and lead polls before the runoff election on Oct. 28. In America, many people on the political right felt tired of the way the government was run under President Barack Obama. They felt the policies from Obama
OPINION
Vote “No” on Proposition 6, continue investing in California’s infrastructure BY BRIANNA SEWELL
CAMPUS
QUESTION What do you think of Proposition 9, the Three States Initiative?
PHOTO EDITOR
BSEWELL@CCCLARION.COM
Proposition 6 takes money away from fixing roads and bridges and improving public transportation. It will cancel more than $5 billion annually, which is being used to improve transportation infrastructure. California’s infrastructure is ranked one of the poorest in the country. Roads, railways and bridges are overworn and unsafe. The U.S. News and World Report ranks California’s roads 49 and overall transportation infrastructure 41. Much of the states’ infrastructure still needs to be fitted for seismic updates so that it can survive California’s earthquakes. The gas tax will increase state revenue to fund those improvements. Drivers always complain about potholes and how dangerous road conditions have become, but they do not want to spend the money to fix them. Californians must realize that gas tax money will be spent to fix those potholes to keep drivers safe on the road. Otherwise, Californians will pay about $843 a year in vehicle repair expenses due to poor road conditions. Having to pay an extra $843 is a bigger inconvenience in the day to day lives of drivers than investing in the gas tax. The tax would only cost an average driver anywhere from $238 to $334 a year, which is a significantly smaller loss. In the long run, drivers will save money because improved roads increases gas mileage
and democratic officials threatened their morals and made the country unsafe. These people became attracted to political “outsiders” like Trump. The way he spoke and what he promised resonated with them and rejected political formalities. Despite the criticisms, Trump’s supporters thought he was tough. He referred to Mexicans as “rapists” and “murderers.” He promised to build a border wall to keep Americans safe. He was recorded saying that he would “grab” women “by the pussy.”
Bolsonaro acts just like Trump. The candidate’s personal attacks include calling one woman journalist a “slut” on one occasion and another one an “idiot.” He said he will legalize weapons so people can defend themselves. He also wants to give impunity to police who kill “bandits.” “Violence is combated with violence,” Bolsonaro said in an interview. “We have to give legal back up to the military police to be able to take action. If it is the case, with violence. And if it is the case, killing, like the American police.” Bolsonaro also said that he would rather have a dead son than a gay son. Despite his iron-fisted approach, the majority of Brazilians think Bolsonaro is the hope for the country in the 2018 elections. They might not like him or agree with him, but because people are tired of the opposition, they are willing to vote in anyone. The Workers’ Party candidate, Fernando Haddad, is Bolsonaro’s main opponent. His party has been in power since 2003. The former president and party leader, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is in jail for corruption and misappropriation of money. Leaders of Brazil’s ruling class from across the political spectrum have been caught in corruption charges. But, tired of the Worker’s Party’s 15-year grip on power, Brazilians are turning to Bolsonaro for change.

Traffic has a huge problem in California. The gas tax will fund 337 projects that will relieve traffic congestion. Public transportation also helps relieve traffic. The tax would fund 453 improvements to public transportation. Proposition 6 is also a job killer. It would take away jobs from 680,000 people.
Since the gas tax spurs improvements to infrastructure, it will create more jobs in construction. Overall, keeping the gas tax is good for Californians and the state’s economy. The net benefit of the gas tax far exceeds any drawbacks. Californians should keep the tax and vote “no” on Proposition 6.

And they would say, ‘oh, it didn’t work for me.’” To remedy this, Dickerson and the Citrus board pushed for programs to ensure students stayed. She said the Citrus’ Promise Program, which launched this semester does just that. “Again, I’m the newbie,” Dickerson said. “I’m the only one who’s serving a second term.

Pitzer College professor emeritus of Chicano studies Jose Calderon cited a New York Times article by Anna Flagg from March, “The Myth of the Criminal Immigrant.” The article cites a 2016 report by nonprofit news organization the Marshall Project.

tions about immigration laws directed to the panel, but not allowed to discuss the city’s actions, nor question members of the city council. Several Citrus College students attended. Associated Students of Citrus College president Fernando Flores and student trustee Yachi Rivas have gone to several city meetings on the subject. A contingent of city supporters
came from two organizations listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center as “nativist extremist” groups: We the People Rising and the Remembrance Project. SPLC is a non-profit civil rights law firm that maps hate groups nationwide. Members of the group shouted down opposing participants including Flores when he asked a question.
They interrupted the panelists. Many of the group had traveled from as far as Huntington Beach, Torrance and Pasadena to participate. The most tense moment came after the founder of “Welcome to Glendora,” Teri Merrick, asked the panel a question. Her group opposes the suit against California’s sanctuary law. “What advice would you give the citizens of Glendora, the city council?” Merrick said. “How we can find common ground to support our residents?” A lawsuit supporter responded out of turn. “Promptly shoot all illegals,” the man said. Attendees gasped and shouted. Calderon raised his voice for the first time that night. “Is this what you want to be known for?” Calderon said. The man replied, “Yes, absolutely.” Flores, Rivas and another member of Latinos Unidos Student Association hung their heads after the shouting.
Members of We the People Rising and the Remembrance Project also defended the comment. “Shouldn’t we reaffirm those core values of equal treatment—community, family?” Calderon said. After the event closed, members of the We the People Rising and the Remembrance Project confronted Merrick before police intervened. Glendora city council member Gary Boyer has been the council’s most outspoken challenger of SB 54. After the meeting, his hands were shaking. “Unfortunately, in today’s political climate, people are very polarized and very passionate,” Boyer said. “Unfortunately, sometimes things get said that people wouldn’t say to each to other on a face to face basis.” Before the meeting Boyer was hopeful the meeting would be constructive. “(Panelists) gave factual, accurate information and hopefully people will come away understanding things better than when they came tonight,” Boyer said.

MEASURE G FR O M PA G E 1
This measure is intended to prepare local students for four-year colleges and train local students for high-skilled jobs by providing money to repair aging facilities and infrastructure.
The Measure G bond funds upgrades to campus safety, the expansion of academic facilities and equip classroom buildings. “It is projected that the total ED modernization will exceed $8 million, however, actual costs are unknown at this time and will not be known until after the project design has been approved by (Division of the State Architect) and the construction contract is successfully awarded by the
Board of Trustees,” Dain said in an email. Proposition 39 says bond money can only be used to construct and equip classroom buildings, science labs and student support facilities. “The building will become a multi-classroom and two science laboratory facility,” Director of Facilities and Construction Fred Diamond said. The architect in charge of the remodel is Westberg + White.
“Nearly 14 years have passed since the voters of the Citrus Community College District approved the Measure G general obligation bond measure,” said Shauna Pierce, the Measure G committee chair. Measure G funded the new Visual Arts building, the Center for Innovation, the Field House building, the Vocational Technology building and Student Services building. “The ED building has been par-
tially remodeled several times over the past decades,” Diamond said. “The most recent was for swing space utilization to be used during the Campus Center construction.” The ED building was used as a temporary space while the Campus Center was getting renovated. “The construction phase of the ED modernization is expected to last one year,” Dain said in an email.

Organizers of the A21 walk hoped to raise awareness about human trafficking and help end slavery. The walk was held on Oct. 20 and started at the Hollywood Mosaic. The A21 walk brought people together to fight human trafficking and to raise awareness to end slavery. More than one hundred people participated in the walk on Saturday afternoon, including some Citrus College students. Photography major Gabrielle Johnson said she was happy to join. “It’s a good cause to fight,” Johnson said. “Every human deserves freedom.” Not only did the walk happen in Los Angeles, but at
14 locations around the globe. Participants formed two lines side by side and began to march down Hollywood Boulevard. Nearly everyone dressed in all black clothing, and held signs. Participants were asked to be silent during the walk. Tourists and other locals supported the walk by honking and shouting encouragement. Undecided major Vanessa Salazar said she looks forward to a better future because of the A21 walk. “More freedom, no more slaves, as well less slaves and for everyone to live their dream and do what they want,” Salazar said.

Putting the normal in paranormal History professor opens a new course exploring the supernatural BY SAMMY FERNANDES STAFF REPORTER
SFERNANDES@CCCLARION.COM
ADVERTISEMENT
Paranormal Personal History is a new course offered at Citrus this semester. Only five colleges offer a paranormal course. The course teaches understanding of different paranormal things such as angels, demons, ghosts, telekinesis, telepathy and remote viewing. The purpose of the class is to help students share their stories in a safe environment and figure out why they had experience these experiences. The course is taught by History professor Bruce Solheim. Guest speakers talk about their leading psychic research. “I was kinda surprised that the college let me do it because there’s never been anything like this here,” Solheim said. “I was pretty lucky. I think it was almost paranormal in itself that we even got to do the course.” For their final eight-week class meeting, they will meet at 7 p.m. on Oct. 30 at the Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse at in San Dimas. Solheim said he chose the steakhouse because it is a known as haunted. Solheim said the guests include a San Dimas paranormal group who has investigated the area. He said restaurant staff and the owner claimed to have had supernatural experiences there. “Originally, I call it a ghost lecture instead of a guest lecture,” Solheim said. “I thought it’d be more appro-

priate to have on the day before Halloween —more exciting and more chances of seeing ghosts.” In Solheim’s book “Timeless,” he shares his paranormal experiences, which led to the course’s creation. “I’ve just always thought that it was not paranormal— that it was normal,” Solheim said. “I thought it was normal that you hear people that have passed on and you see angels.” Solheim said he wanted to start the course a while ago, but he was afraid of the community response. “I realized that there is nothing to be afraid of,” Solheim said. “I didn’t have to worry about my peers, or the college trying to get rid of me, or whatever.” The course is structured differently from a traditional class at Citrus. Solheim directs students to a website that tests their sight abilities since there are no tests or papers due. “We do experiments in the class, like the experiment of being stared at and a telepathic experiment,” Solheim said. Paranormal Personal History class had 35 students enrolled, exceeding the professor’s expectations. The class became popular fast. “I could’ve probably had a hundred students, because there’s a lot of people on the waiting list too,” Solheim said. Students have different reasons why they decided to take the para-
normal course. Solheim said some are skeptical, professional psychics, or curious. Solheim said he tries to create a theoretical framework and space to share their stories. Esther Jenkins, age 83, returned to Citrus to take Solheim’s course. She started having paranormal experiences when she was 20 years old. She said the class would not be acceptable when she first attended. “You wouldn’t talk about this anywhere,” Jenkins said. “Nevermind the school. It’s amazing that this class is even being taught on the paranormal. That blew me away.” Jenkins said she had no expectations in the class. “It’s very interesting hearing about all the other different phenomena that everybody is experiencing, and sharing my own experiences which I’ve had as well,” Jenkins said. Jenkins expects paranormal talk to be normal in the future. “Bringing this out in the open is really important,” Jenkins said. “He’s opening a door to make it possible for people to be acceptable talking about this.” Paranormal Personal History will continue to be taught every semester by Solheim, who hopes to conduct an open online class. “The online class would be open to anybody, theoretically in the world, who want to take it,” Solheim said. “I
Historic pioneer cemetery steps away Housing developer chooses to renovate the graveyard BY JAMES DUFFY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Graveyards are usually shrouded mystery, but on Manresa Drive in Azusa a forgotten graveyard sits full of history, the Fairmount Pioneer Cemetery. From 1876 to 1985, San Gabriel Valley’s dead were buried in the hill. Pioneer families sunk members into 121 hallowed plots for generations— the Shoreys, Duartes and Griswalds founded settlements in the San Gabriel valley. In an effort to preserve Fairmount, cemetery trustees registered the graveyard as a Glendora city and Los Angeles County landmark. “As a board of trustees we’ve been very concerned about preserving the landmark status and properties,” said David Fredendall, a cemetery trustee. Pioneer Henry Dalton owned much of Glendora and Azusa, known as Rancho Azusa. The name Azusa comes from a Tongvan word, suksagna, which translates to “skunk place.” Dalton purchased Rancho Azusa

from its original Spanish owner, Luis Arena, in 1844. His claim was recognized by a United States surveyor in 1860. Resting on a slope of San Felipe Hill, the cemetery once served as a landmark for early Spaniards and was a half mile from Dalton’s homestead. The hill is now surrounded by new housing and construction making the landmark hard to find. Along with volunteers from Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, the housing developer has funded beautifying and renovating the site. “William Lyon Homes has been a wonderful partner,” Fredendall said. “With the grounds and headstones cleaned up and a new gate replacing the chainlink fence, the property is now protected from trespassers.” The cemetery has emerged from a
long period of neglect. “The sad thing is over time there’s only about 85 markers legible out of 250,” Fredendall said. Fairmount was once victim to vandalism—broken headstones, desecrated graves and stolen skulls. By the 1960s, the surrounding Monrovia nursery planted citrus trees and installed irrigation covering many of the graves in mud and caused water damage. Fredendall said he is looking forward to plans to irrigate the old growth oaks on the site and further research into who is buried. Fairmount hosts a Memorial Day service every year with a 21-gun salute to honor veterans buried there ,that date all the way back to the Civil War.

EHAINES@CCCLARION.COM
The English Society will be throwing their third annual Halloween
party, Oct. 30. This year’s theme, Frankenstein, coincides with the 200th anniversary of Mary Shelley’s classic book. Previous year’s themes have revolved around the literature of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, adding an educational component to this party. “A lot of different classes are actually reading Frankenstein this year,
so we’re hoping those students will also come,” said Jana Heyman, an English professor and society moderator. This year’s festivities include food, games, prizes and various student presenters. “We have a student that’s going to dress up as Mary Shelley and give kinda a little background information,” Heyman said.

Students are encouraged to dress up and may bring their children to the kid-friendly party. Faculty and staff are welcome to the event. “We encourage all faculty and staff to attend,” said professor Lisa Telesca, who is also hosting the event. The party will take place in the CI building, room 159 at 4:30-6:30 p.m. Oct. 30.
A former dean at Citrus College, Ben Bollinger, died on Oct. 17. Bollinger started working at Citrus in 1968 as a full-time instructor. He became the dean of fine and performing arts in 2004. He retired in 2005. After founding the Citrus Singers in 1968, he served as it director until his retirement. Bollinger connected the group with Kiss’ Gene Simmons to perform on his 1978 solo album. Bollinger co-founded Claremont’s Candlelight Pavilion in 1985. College superintendent President Geraldine Perri sent an email to Citrus employees on Oct. 19 notifying them of Bollinger’s death. “Mr. Bollinger was a gracious, kind and affable man, known as a beloved instructor who brought out the best in his talented protégés,” Perri said in the email. A memorial service is scheduled for 10 a.m. to noon Oct. 24 at Holy Name of Mary Church in San Dimas. A rosary service is also scheduled at the church.

Tension is HIgh, lines are long, Caffeine is Low Students and workers said Art & Coffee Bar is understaffed. Manager planning expansion. BY LYDIA EGAN STAFF REPORTER
LEGAN@CCCLARION.COM
Despite long lines and student complaints, Enterprise Services Manager Eric Magallon said the Art and Coffee Bar is not hiring for the rest of the semester. Magallon said scheduling more workers would lead to a lack of space and lower productivity. “Our observations have found that because of the size of the prep area, if we have more than three people, productivity slows and staff start become becoming tangled with each other,” Magallon said in an email. To shorten the morning lines, Magallon said Bookstore Services has two proposals — create a mobile feature for students to order ahead of time, or build another coffee shop on campus. Bookstore Services is “looking into a third party app that takes orders and drinks for coffee payments,” Magallon said. Magallon said Bookstore Services considers building a second coffee shop. “There’s just so much involved but it is in our program review and definitely down the road,” Magallon said. Student employee Cesar Carbajal said the Art and Coffee Bar in the SS Building is too short on staff for the volume of students at Citrus. Carbajal said the store is too busy for two to three workers during its busiest hours. The busiest hours for

the store are mornings and early afternoons. Though four employees are scheduled in the morning, only two employees are scheduled in the afternoon. Director of Human Resources Robert Sammis said Citrus is not ruling out hiring more student employees. He said it’s “a matter of what budgets people have.” With the volume of students in line, sometimes out the door, Carbajal said he wishes Citrus would hire more people to work at the store.
“I even brought it up in a meeting, ‘are we hiring or not?’” Carbajal said. Sammis said he is aware of the volume of customers served. “I’ve seen the line,” Sammis said. “It’s not my area to supervise but I know we’re always looking for students.” Magallon also said the store rush hours are better preparing students for realistic workplace conditions. “Students need to experience realworld work situations that better prepare them for life after Citrus,”

Magallon said. Carbajal works the closing shift. He has to stay until the store closes to clean all the dishes used that day as well as the rest of the store, including the lobby located at the entrance of the coffee shop. Carbajal said he and another worker are there typically until 7 or 8 p.m. cleaning the store. While student workers believe that working at the Art and Coffee Bar is intense, both Sammis and Magallon believe their experience
will benefit them in the future. In an email, Magallon said working on campus gives students the ability to “learn the necessary skills they can use outside Citrus.” Sammis believes students who work at their school are guaranteed more “success” when attending. “Having a job on campus is better in terms of success,” Sammis said. “Research has shown that students succeed better if they are working on campus.” Working at the Art and Coffee Bar does not mandate a certain GPA either, getting hired is dependent on whether the student is a full-time student and their availability. Carbajal said the student’s availability is considered more than the other requirements. “If your schedule is the same all across the board you’re probably going to get hired,” Carbajal said. Magallon said students are prepared for the future after their time working on campus. “The bookstore is team is proud when our students leave Citrus better educated and ready to enter a new chapter of their lives,” Magallon said. The college is hiring for many jobs, but the Art and Coffee bar is not one of them. Applications are accepted throughout the year to work on campus. Students can find job listings on the Citrus College website under “Student Employment” or going to the location and asking the manager in person.

former Community College Professor runs for Congress Professor Judy Chu runs for Congress in the 27th Congressional District of the state of California BY LYDIA EGAN STAFF REPORTER
LEGAN@CCCLARION.COM
California residents prepare to vote on Nov. 6. One of the two candidates for the 27th Congressional District, which contains Citrus College is a former community college professor, incumbent Judy Chu. Chu dominated opposing candidates. She defeated Bryan Witt by 66.98% in two primary elections. The congresswoman was elected in 2008. Chu was the first Chinese-American woman elected into Congress. Chu said in an email she is a committed advocate of women’s rights. “I am fighting to protect our access to healthcare and birth control, working for equal pay, and helping to promote women owned-businesses so that women have more opportunities in the workforce,” Chu said in an email. To progress women’s rights, Chu said in an email women need to take on leadership roles. “Women are 50 percent of the country, but just 20 percent of Congress,” Chu said. “So we can start by helping more women get into leadership roles.” Chu said she believes the trade agreements like the North American Free Trade agreement are “important but, imperfect,” and Trump
is preventing the United States from improving agreements. Chu initially supported President Barack Obama’s Trans Pacific Partnership deal, but later withdrew support. “Trump’s strategy of bullying and bluster is only distancing us from our allies while making goods more expensive, without helping improve our agreements,” Chu said. She wrote her objective was advancing worker’s rights, intellectual property and helping stop climate change. Before she was elected, Chu was a psychology professor for 20 years in the Los Angeles Community District. “I’ve seen the transformative impact of a good education,” Chu said. “That is why I work to help more students not only be prepared for school, but be able to afford it as well.” She introduced the POST GRAD Act and the Debt-Free College Act which Chu said aimed at making college more affordable. Chu visited Citrus College in February for her Higher Education Round table. “The Higher Education Act represents our nation’s commitment to expanding access and affordability to postsecondary education for all Americans,” Chu said in February.

Congresswoman Grace Napolitano, another representative from the San Gabriel Valley, shares similar beliefs with Chu regarding affordable education and Veteran Administration. Napolitano representative Jerry O’Donnell said she supports the idea of the first two years of college tuition being free. “She supported it back in 2012 with the Obama Administration and still does,” O’Donnell said. “We need
to strengthen community colleges.” Together as contingencies of Glendora, Chu and Napolitano are fighting for opportunities for veterans. Chu has collaborated with the Veteran Administration in the past. Former Citrus College Veterans Center Director Monica Christianson said Chu is supportive of veterans. “She has done a lot to fill the gap between Veteran Administration and Medical Centers,” Christianson said. “I saw her at many different events,
she offered free turkeys to veterans for Thanksgiving.” The lack of a Veterans Health Clinic in the San Gabriel Valley is making it inconvenient for veterans to get “the care they deserve,” said Christianson. Suarano said Chu plans to open the first San Gabriel Valley Veterans Health Clinic within the year. O’Donnell said Napolitano is trying to fill the gaps for veterans. “She is trying to streamline that process and make as many opportunities for veterans,” O’Donnell said. Both Chu and Napolitano have voiced support Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or Dreamers. “They’ve been trying to reverse that decision which has caused uncertainty,” O’Donnell said. Chu said she supports the dreamers and fights to make DACA permanent. “They have done what we would ask of any immigrant by laying deep roots in our communities and they deserve the chance to continue to learn, work, serve, and contribute here,” Chu said. “That is why I am proud to support legislation that will make DACA permanent and finally end the fear and uncertainty among Dreamers.” “A good education is the best path to a better future,” Chu said.
Recycle the oil, trash the rest Some food products are spared, but most is discarded. BY TIM PETERSEN STAFF REPORTER

The Owl Cafe and bookstore have policies in place to limit food waste on campus, but do not keep record of how much is thrown out. Citrus College Enterprise Services manager Eric Magallon said the college was carefully conserving food. “Not much is thrown out because of batch cooking throughout the day until items sell out, and portion control,” Magallon said in an email. He complimented the campus food services vendor. “Pacific Dining works diligently to reduce food waste,” Magallon said.
Magallon said food is not measured at the end of the day, so there is no way to know how much is being disposed of. Maribel Rojas is a supervisor at the Owl Cafe. She said that food is only allowed to be out for two hours before it needs to be disposed of. “The only thing that we would throw away, is like a few slices left over,” Rojas said. Rojas said occasionally, and with permission, food workers are able to take leftovers for themselves. Expired food items are returned to vendors for credit, and unsold pastries are donated to the veterans center each week. Environmental health and safety programs supervisor Jeff Eichler said there are no new plans in the terms of food waste reduction. “So right now we would need to be reliant on the resources of our cur-
rent waste hauler who at this point in time doesn’t have any program going on,” Eichler said. Eichler said in 2012 the campus attempted to compost some food waste, but said it takes more time and work than most people realize to get it done right. “...we take these heaping loads of lettuce, you know trim the lettuce, carrot tops or whatever other vegetable matter that they’re creating there, and just keep on cramming it in there,” Eichler said. “It’s just gonna turn into a big gooey mess, and sure enough that’s what happened.” Unless food waste is placed in new recycle bins, it is thrown out. In the past some people have taken some of the reusable plant waste off of the school’s hands. Eichler said, a man would take several buckets full of vegetable waste to farm soldier flies. The campus has no policy recy-

cling food waste, said Eichler. “I would welcome anyone to take advantage of that waste stream, for
sure,” Eichler said. Leftover cooking oil is the only food item to be set aside for recycling.

Trafficking forum hosted on campus BY BRIANNA SEWELL PHOTO EDITOR
BSEWELL@CCCLARION.COM
Political science professor David Milbrandt hosted a discussion about sex trafficking on Oct. 11 in CI 159. Panelists described the horrors of human trafficking in nearby communities. Social worker Emily Dickson said she was a sex trafficking victim when she was a younger and now works to get victims relief.
“A 13 year-old agreeing to have sex with an older man—legally, it’s rape,” Dickson said. Another panelist, Every ONE Free Director Tamiko Chacon, said traffickers target middle-school girls—runaways, orphans and the kidnapped. She said her group, which helps trafficking victims found a young woman left naked on the street by a pimp. Milbrandt said the public ignores victims who work in strip clubs, prostitution and pornography
because they are unaware sex workers are frequently the victims of trafficking. “It needs to stop,” Milbrandt said. “We need to take active steps for this to happen.” Dickson called for a law requiring minors to attend intervention courses. She said the state should mandate survivor advocates for victims. Chacon offered ways listeners could help sex traffic victims. She said people who want to help can ADVERTISEMENT
make a “freedom bag,” which is distributed to victims. The bag Every ONE Free offers includes clothes and toiletries. She directed the audience to an email freedombags@ everyonefree.org. She also told listeners her group hosts an event called Men Standing Against Trafficking. Anyone may join. Participants may stand in solidarity for an hour with victims of human trafficking at 586 N. Main St. in Pomona. The area is a prominent human trafficking spot.

new roster for owls basketball Team begins season Nov. 2 without 7 former players BY TIM PETERSEN STAFF REPORTER
TPETERSEN@CCCLARION.COM
The Citrus College men’s basketball team lost all five starting players and two bench players coming into the 2018-19 season. Last season the team finished with a 27-5 record and their second consecutive conference championship. “Yeah, we had a great year,” said head coach Brett Lauer. “We’ve got good leadership amongst the guys, and like I said we’re rarely coaching energy. “We’re rarely having to coach effort, so we get to coach basketball.” Point guard Josh Caston suffered a toe injury that caused him to miss the 2017-18 season. He said how he feels to be back on the court, “Good, the process coming back was long, this team is exciting, I’m happy to be here, we have a great coaching staff,” Caston said. Caston said, he has set individual goals going into the season along with goals for the Owls this season. “As a team obviously the goal is to win, say, as many games as possible,” Caston said. “As a player I want to work on my leadership more, I want to have a higher level of energy.” Winning was no issue during the regular season for the Owls last season, they look to keep that momentum going this year. Lauer said offense was their strongest asset last season, averaging 10 to 14 three pointers a game. Sophomore power forward/center

Jesse Elrod is returning for his second season with the Owls. “I feel really confident with my team this year,” Elrod said. “We have a lot of new young guys on the team.” “I feel like we are a lot more athletic than last year, so that can really be useful to us this year.” Elrod said he wants to improve on his rebounding this season and take on more of a leadership role being one of the few returning players. The season starts in less than a month, and Elrod and the rest of the team have been in constant practice mode until the season tips of. “It’s a constant grind, and we look to compete at such a high level against the other team that we really just wanna break you at the end of the game,” Elrod said. “There’s people’s breaking points and we wanna find that, and when we do find that, oh, it’s a scary thing after that.” The first game is Nov. 2, against Orange Coast at the San Diego Classic. Orange Coast knocked the Owls out of the playoffs last season. Elrod said he is looking forward to the match up and expects the game to be competitive, and is ready to put all of their hard work to the test.

Cross-country runs hearts out in final race Citrus runners finish conference finals without advancing BY TANNAN LUZZO SPORTS EDITOR
TLUZZO@CCCLARION.COM
The cross-country season came to an end for the Owls without runners advancing to the next round of the playoffs following the Western States Conference Finals on Oct. 19. Alterations were made to the course by head coach Alan Waddington, as questions from opposing coaches were raised about the safety of the route. Some of the Owls runners were not pleased and as hosts of the finals, felt that their home field advantage was stripped away. “We were practicing on the old course for over a year and they recently changed it to the new course a week before the race,” Citrus runner Aracelli Cativo said. “They said ‘we don’t want this it’s too dangerous’. “I was personally bummed because I’ve been practicing on this dirt hill. It’s everyone’s weakness and it’s my strength, so yeah it was just all flat it was just kind of like wow change it a week before when it’s all set, that does suck.” Waddington said the original route runners practiced the whole season crossed a parking lot. He said he had to change the course to make it safer. “The coaches have been really nice, but they were worried about safety,” Waddington said. “It’s a hard course, and you know they said one

of the girls may fall down the hill, but it’s kind of I think the way the modern thing is, everybody’s got their agendas and reasons. “They rallied their (athletic directors), they did it the right way and then I was told I gotta do it.” Even though late changes were made, Waddington said he still enjoyed hosting the finals. “It was nice to get to know the coaches, and our athletic department was incredible with their support,” Waddington said. Even though the runners did not post the results they hoped for throughout the season, they still view parts of this year as a success after all they were able to accomplish and learn. “I wasn’t expecting to win or anything major,” freshman Owls runner
Anthony Rojas said. “I was just mainly focusing my time on improving. “My favorite part about the season was the experience. I had the chance to experience the difference between high school cross-country and college.” Rojas said he will redshirt next season so he has more time to focus on training and developing more skills within his arsenal of tactics. Waddington is in full support of Rojas’ plan and timeline for his growth as a runner. “Redshirting next year is a great decision...I can focus more on my training rather than competing or racing,” Rojas said. “Coach Alan agreed on this plan of mine.” As for Cativo, she said this was not her best year, but in her last year running for the Owls she is optimistic
about her future. “I was struggling with racing and mentally I was not in it,” Cativo said. “I know I worked hard but I wasn’t too happy with my end results. “This is a learning experience and life goes on.” Cativo also said one of her favorite things this year was the relationships she was able to create and develop with her coaches and how they inspired her to be a better runner. “One thing that really sticks out to me that coach Alan said is that in order to get stuff done you need to put the work ethic in and sometimes you just have to worry about yourself,” Cativo said. “I realized so much about myself.” Waddington said he is thinking about next year and how he can better prepare both his returning runners and incoming athletes to develop them and set them up for success “I’m really excited about Anthony (Rojas), he is super close and I want him to be a leader next year,” Waddington said. “He is the guy that sees the ‘it’ part of this the most.” While the Owls failed to advance any runners to the Regional Finals and missed out on ending the season on a strong note, Waddington is still “crazy excited” about next year. “I’m very excited about the possibilities that these hills can bring to our team,” Waddington said. “I left the finals motivated to start implementing the major plans I have.” “It will take heavy and smart recruiting and an attitude that embraces and puts in the work in a yearround fashion not just in running but life too.”
