Glendora town hall on sanctuaryto convene on Oct. 11 City leaders hope to address citizens concerned with new sanctuary cities state law BY VICMAN THOME PHOTO EDITOR
VTHOME@CCCLARION.COM
Glendora City Council announced a town hall meeting for Oct. 11, where residents may voice concerns about city’s lawsuit against State Senate Bill 54. The California law prevents state and local law enforcement officers from detaining or transferring federal immigration authorities. The meeting is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. in the Bidwell Forum at the Glendora Public Library. After it was last addressed during a regular city council meeting in September, the council released a public notice with the details about who will be in attendance and what will be occuring during said meeting. The public notice said a panel will be available to answer any questions the public might have about the law and how the city of Glendora will respond to it. Glendora City Clerk Kathleen Sessman said the purpose for the town hall meeting is to answer the public’s questions about SB 54. “The public can attend and get their questions answered by the panel and the city council,” Sessman said. Council member Gary Boyer said it was hard to get panelists to attend the meeting because it was difficult to find people knowledgeable about the subject and who were willing to speak. Boyer said the panel was selected by Mayor Mendell Thomson, two council members, the city attorney, and select members of the public. One of the panelists, Anita Lee is California’s principal fiscal and policy analyst. “Our position is not to pick sides, we are a non-partisan organization,” Lee said. Lee said the meeting’s purpose is to be as “informative as possible.” She said she hopes people understand what SB54 does and does not do to Glendora. The meeting follows Glendora city council’s decision in closed session to join a lawsuit challenging SB 54. “I hope people leave the town hall meeting with a better understanding of what SB 54 is and what it does to the public,” Boyer said. The city attorney, William Wynder will give a presentation on Glendora’s response to SB 54. “I’m just legal council for the city,” Wynder said. “I can not take sides.”
Violence Against Women Act Set to Expire after postponement BY TALIA PASTRANA SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER TPASTRANA@CCCLARION.COM
The Violence Against Women Act was set to expire on Sept 30, but Congress postponed the reauthorization giving it a Dec. 7 deadline. A short re-authorization period was attached to a defense and health spending bill that passed on Sept. 16. The Office on Violence Against Women is responsible for distributing the money from the VAWA. The office’s website lists the requested 2018 VAWA budget as $480 million — a 1.2 percent increase from the 2017 budget. The office has 25 grant programs that they are responsible for funding. Four grant programs have required funding by the law. The other 21 grant programs are discretionary.
The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence reports one in three women will experience violence with an intimate partner in their lifetime. Women, ages 18-24 are most commonly abused by an intimate partner. The overwhelming majority, 94 percent, of murder-suicide victims are women. Citrus College has several ways for women to report violence. “You can report it to us,” said Head of Campus Safety, Benjamin Macias. “You can report it to law enforcement, your campus counselors, or the Title IX officer.” The the Citrus College Title IX Officer is Brenda Fink.

on suspicion of “entering a Citrus College campus women’s restroom in an attempt to watch females while they were in bathroom stalls.” The press release said the “law applies to situations where a suspect peeks through a hole or an opening into an area someone is occupying in which a reasonable expectation of privacy exists.” Detective Mike Howell with the Glendora Police Department said the suspect was caught as a result of a joint investigation between the Citrus College Campus Safety and department detectives.
“We worked with Campus Safety so that they were aware of what we were doing,” Howell said. “From the investigation, I determined who I believed it was.” The Clarion previously reported that a male bathroom intruder struck at Citrus College three times. Osuna was on parole for an unrelated crime. He is being held without bail. He will not be released from jail until a judge address his case. Osuna’s case will be filed with the district attorney’s office in West Covina.

recall judges who don’t sympathize with sexual Assault victims Out of every 1,000 rapes, only six people will be incarcerated. The number is a painful reminder of how survivors are regarded in the American justice system. They do not matter. As Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation continues to be tainted by sexual misconduct allegations, a broader issue has been intensified by #MeToo advocates: misogyny in the legal system and what to do about it. If the movement to protect survivors proceeds, it must reform the legal infrastructure. The system is as guilty as the perpetrators in sustaining misogyny. Demand its radical change. For too long, the justice system has remained entrenched in a sexist culture, frequently expressed by powerful jurists. Take the example of Aaron Persky — the former judge who presided over the Stanford rape trial, People v. Turner. The perpetrator, Brock Turner, was guilty of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. The judge overrode prosecutors’ recommendations for punishment — six years’ imprisonment. Instead, he ruled that Turner should spend six months in jail with three years’ probation. Persky reasoned that an extended prison sentence was too harsh for the first-time offender. It would ruin Turner’s life. Thanks to the example of Persky’s royal stupidity, sexual predators find their greatest defenders in the courts. They receive greater sympathy than their victims. Arizona Superior Court judge Jacqueline Hatch is another proliferator of court-sanctioned
misogyny. Before sentencing an officer for groping a woman at a bar, the judge said to the victim “If you hadn’t been there that night, none of this would have happened to you.” Orange County Judge Derek Johnson provided another example of judicial sexism. “If someone doesn’t want to have sexual intercourse, the body shuts down,” Johnson said. He declared a rape was only “technical,” because the victim did not “put up a fight” against her ex-boyfriend. Johnson ignored the perpetrator’s threats of genital mutilation and battery the victim endured. He gave a six-year prison sentence instead of the 16 years prosecutors wanted. Texas judge Jeanine Howard sentenced a convicted rapist to probation. In her sentencing, Howard said the accuser “was not the victim she claimed to be” and the accused was “not your typical sex offender.” In all of the above, judges showed more compassion to perpetrators than victims. Victim blaming from the bench is unacceptable — it comprises justice and social progress. The time has come to extend the #MeToo movement into the courts. The movement has successfully chastised politicians and pop-stars for their crimes. But it is not enough for rape and sexual assault survivors. Judicial prejudice poses a threat to justice and perpetuates misogyny. People should demand the ouster of victim-shaming judges. Vote to recall any judge whose sentencing undermines the severity of rape and sexual assault. Investigate the judicial records of people

OPINION
A scofflaw’s guide to parking: Park anywhere, fight the law and win BY JAMES DUFFY V EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
JDUFFY@CCCLARION.COM
I’m not an attorney and therefore cannot dispense legal advice. However, with an extensive record of lawfully evading traffic conviction, I feel qualified to conjecture upon the subject. I am not a careful driver, yet my record is spotless and insurance rates rock bottom. How did I attain this exalted driving status, one may ask — frivolous litigation. Everyone has been in a hurry with nowhere to park. And a beautiful staff parking spot is open. A student worker could think, “I contribute to this institution, shouldn’t I be considered staff?” Or perhaps a driver does not see a faded road marking. With less student spots, more staff spots, Gold Line commuters and more permits sold, the harried commuter has few options. One way parkers can tilt the balance is by pressing their rights and appealing the citation. The appeal process is lengthy, but it benefits the accused. By using these tips, which only require time and persistence, there’s no reason a student should pay a Citrus College parking fine or many other traffic fines again. 1. Never admit to the violation. If drivers admit to going one mile per hour over the limit, they can be found guilty. Don’t be found guilty. 2. Be forgettable. Enforcing officers may be compelled to testify in a hearing or trial. If an officer cannot recall a suspect, the case may

be dismissed. Consider changing appearance before trial. 3. Stall for time. The longer proceedings drag out, the more costly they become, and more likely they are to be dismissed. File for an extension online. 4. Research and write. Investigate the violation on the ticket. Read the California Vehicle Code carefully. Parking rules have exceptions. Was there an emergency that may have caused a person to park in a spot they should not have? 5. Write a thoughtful excuse letter to the parking agency. Explain an error in the ticket. Avoid blaming officers, which may aggravate the commissioner reading it. A ticket could be dismissed if the
letter provides credentials or experience in the matter discussed or if research is conducted. If all this hasn’t worked, it’s time to get ready for trial. The process can be tricky. Get necessary paperwork together. Prepare a defend in front of a knowledgeable judge. Memorize what to say and be ready to think fast under pressure. Always be respectful in court. At Citrus, third-party mediators evaluate claims first. Mediation is good practice for court. Arrive on time, know what to say and present information sincerely. If a mediator thinks the accused is serious, they may side with them. Parking officials don’t want to deal with the
James Duffy V Clarion
headache either. If mediation goes unfavorably, it’s time to go to the West Covina Courthouse. File a trial by written declaration similar to the letter. If the declaration loses, defendants may request a trial de novo (Latin for new trial). The new trial must take place in person in front of a commissioner. The trial is usually the last chance. The most effective way to have a ticket dismissed is to file a discovery motion. In trials, parties are entitled to know what evidence their opponent has. In traffic cases, defendants must first file a notice of informal discovery to the police department and to the judge’s Clerk. Officers
almost never respond to discovery in traffic cases because it happens so infrequently. If an officer cannot present evidence at trial, he or she must rely on their recollection. By the time an appeal reaches the Citrus Municipal Court at the West Covina Courthouse, several months will have passed. Any issuing parking attendant will likely have forgotten the ticket. Officers file dozens or even hundreds of traffic cases a month. The probability they will recall a particular case is low, particularly if the experience was forgettable. If the officer still shows after all the paperwork, he or she must testify. A traffic suspect is allowed to cross-examine an officer and his or her recollection without the aid of notes. Officers may try to sneak their notes onto the witness stand. Object to this practice and the judge will prevent the officer from using notes. If an officer cannot produce memories of the violation, their testimony is invalid, and a ticket may be dismissed. Traffic and parking can be so frustrating, it is offensive to one’s sense of freedom as an American. Exorbitant ticket pricing is a major revenue stream for municipalities. Targeting stressed parkers or drivers is unjust. Violating unfair laws is an moral imperative. Sure, scofflaw proclivities have earned me the unavoidable ticket, but considering all the violations I haven’t paid for, the savings is tremendous.

Fink has not responded to multiple requests for comment by email and phone. “Once the report is made, an investigation is conducted,” Macias said. The Citrus College annual safety report says there have been no violent crimes committed in the past three years. Glendora and Azusa police departments post information about violent crime online. Azusa Police arrested a man near Gladstone Park for allegedly attempting a sexual assault on Sept. 17. Azusa Police arrested another man for allegedly stabbing two women on Sept. 19. The National Alliance to End Sexual Violence website says that the VAWA costs $15.50 per U.S. woman but saves each woman $159 in victimization costs. “Approximately $14.8 billion in victimization costs are averted due to VAWA, which only costs $1.6 billion to implement,” the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence website says. The Center for Disease Control published a study in June 2017 on the cost to rape victims over a lifetime. The study says the lifetime cost of rape to a victim is $122,461. The VAWA attempts to lower cost to the female survivors by providing healthcare and financial aid. The original VAWA was passed by the Clinton administration in 1994. The act was reauthorized in 2000, 2005 and 2013 with support from both major parties. The funding for

The Independent Women’s Forum writer, Gayle Trotter published an article titled, “There are Real Reasons to Oppose VAWA.” Trotter wrote VAWA is “federalizing a problem that would be better handled at the state level.”

Complaint procedures adjusted BY KARA ELDER STAFF REPORTER
KELDER@CCCLARION.COM
From 2015 to January 2018, complaint and grievance information was included under the accreditation tab at the top of the Citrus College website. Now students may either search through the A-Z Index to find complaint information or look in the page footer. Chief Information Services Officer Bob Hughes said the Student Complaint Procedures and Student Feedback link, along with other important links such as the campus map and accreditation, have all been moved to the footer of the website. “Regardless of what page you’re on, on the campus website… those links on the footer will always be there,” Hughes said. Hughes said technical support staff met with and a consultant from SectorPoint, in July of 2017 to design a new website. Dean of Students Maryann Tolano-Leveque said she has not noticed difference in the number of complaints or grievances filed after January 2018. She said it would be difficult to monitor since “there is not a centralized process.” Students must file a complaint or grievance in a particular department where the incident occurred. Knowing the difference between a complaint and grievance form is helpful if a student needs to file one and can save time and confusion. A grievance form can be filed if a student is concerned about ADVERTISEMENT

their grade or their right to free expression. A student complaint form can be filed if a student had a bad experience with an employee on campus. If a student complaint involves sexual harassment, discrimination, stalking or violence, the complaint would be forwarded to the Title IX coordinator, Brenda Fink. Both forms go through different processes while filing. A student complaint form goes through a first level review where the issue can be resolved through the department manager or forwarded to the concerning party for further resolution. Tolano-Leveque said she or another department manager would call the student in to ask questions about the incident, and then try to work through the problem by addressing the employee in question, resolving the issue informally.
Department managers act as a mediator between the employee and the student. Instructions on the grievance form state that a student must discuss the incident with the employee involved with the grievance before filing. “First you have to try to solve it informally with the instructor if possible,” Tolano-Leveque said. The next step listed on the form states that a student must meet with the employee’s supervisor or dean of the division if the situation is not resolved. A student can also file a complaint without taking action against the accused— a grievance. Before filing a grievance form, students must discuss the incident with the employee involved in the grievance.

BY MICHAEL QUINTERO MANAGING EDITOR
MQUINTERO@CCCLARION.COM
College students don’t often have the privilege to be taught by a professor who produced over 50 albums, with over 40 million records sold. Recording arts professor John Boylan, has been teaching songwriting, critical listening for sound engineers and careers for sound engineers in the music industry courses at Citrus for over 10 years. Before teaching, Boylan worked in the music industry for over 40 years. Under experience, his resume could list working with Linda Ronstadt, Rick Nelson, the Little River Band, Carly Simon, Boston and forming the Eagles. Early in his career Boylan produced a notable album alongside Bostons founder Tom Scholz. The 1976 self titled album “Boston” was the band’s first. The record went multi-platinum. At the time, it was the highest selling debut album by any artist, selling over 17 million copies in the U.S. “Biggest record I ever had,” Boylan said. Even with the album’s success, it almost never reached the ears of the public. “That was a little weird,” Boylan said. “Their manager before they were even a band, I knew this guy, Paul Ahern. He had been the head of promotion on Asylum records which is Linda (Ronstadt)’s label. I was working with Linda.”

followed along and we both got hired for $50 a week as staff songwriters in Tin Pan Alley.” While working as a songwriter, one of Boylan’s songs caught the ear of musician Rick Nelson, and “that was my first big break,” Boylan said. Boylan went to work for Nelson. He said he had the idea of recording a song by Bob Dylan “She Belongs To Me” with a country rock arrangement, but needed to form a band for the project. He formed Nelson’s Stone Canyon Band, which included member Randy Meisner. Boylan moved to California in 1969 to work with Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band. While living in California, Boylan was hanging out at the famous music venue the Troubadour in Hollywood, when musician Linda Ronstadt introduced herself to Boylan. She said she liked what he put together with Nelson, and wanted him to help her form a backup band. Boylan said Ronstadt was ready for a new manager at the time. “I became Linda’s manager by default,” Boylan said. The duo started forming a group. Boylan already knew musician Don Henley who had sent Boylan a recording for Ronstadt. He also spotted him at the Troubadour. “I said yeah, I listened to that, but there was no return address,” Boylan said. “I liked the song, but it’s not for Linda.” Boylan decided to hire Henley
on to go on the road with Ronstadt. Henley also knew musician Glenn Frey, but had never worked together yet. They took them both on the road. “We couldn’t afford for everyone to have their own hotel rooms, so Don and Glenn roomed together and they became fast buddies and started to write songs together,” Boylan said. Soon after Frey and Henley wanted to form their own band. “We said great,” Boylan said. “Linda suggested Bernie Leadon to be their guitar player… and I suggested Randy Meisner that I had hired to be in the Stone Canyon Band.” The group they formed was the Eagles — among the most successful bands in history. While Boylan continued producing albums with huge stars, he worked with small bands, including the Unforgiven. One of the prominent members was drummer Alan Waddington. Waddington is a music instructor at Citrus College. The Unforgiven signed to Elektra, which was their first big label. When tasked to find a producer, the band chose Boylan. While recording the album, Waddington spent weeks next to Boylan getting to know him on a more personal level. Waddington said he was broke at the time unsure of his future. He said Boylan would calm him down by saying he is a smart and resourceful. “The way he said ‘You’ll be OK’

helped calm me,” Waddington said. “And I have that same moment with students in the classroom.” After the Unforgiven released their record in 1984, Waddington worked with many other producers who he said he would not see again. “But with John you knew you would,” Waddington said. “I think without it being spoken you kind of knew you were going to know this guy.” After all the successful albums Boylan produced, he found an unplanned career as a teacher, when he was mixing a record for Charlie Daniels in L.A. “It was a fluke,” Boylan said. “Somebody from the studio next door said ‘I teach at UCLA. Will you come and be a guest at my class?’’ Boylan accepted and gave a guest lecture. The head of the UCLA extension entertainment program happened to be observing the class when he gave his guest lecture. The next day she called and said one of the audio engineer teachers quit, and asked if he would like a job teaching at UCLA. Boylan accepted and taught at UCLA for 11 years before moving back to New York. When he moved back to California, he answered a call from Waddington asking him to guest lecture at Citrus College. For the second time Boylan parlayed the lecture into a teaching position. He has been at Citrus for

over 10 years. “I think, and I don’t mean to blow the Citrus horn, but in my professional opinion, 50 years in this business, the two studios we have here are as good as anything anywhere,” Boylan said. “The price you pay for the recording arts program here is the greatest bargain in audio, the same course at and exactly the same quality at USC would run you $60,000.” A university may have more resources than a community college, but Citrus has built a uniquely advanced recording program under the recording staff and Boylan’s guidance. With all his success he continues to teach at Citrus at age 77. “The only reason I’m staying around here, besides Alan, is this program is so great for students and I encourage anyone who is interested in audio recording to come and talk to Gordon McMillian about signing up,” Boylan said.

‘Ugh!’ Tension rises as students struggle to find parking BY NATALINE MALINS STAFF REPORTER
NMALINS@CCCLARION.COM
This year parking permit costs were raised $3 for fall and spring semesters and $1 for winter and summer semesters. Despite the rising permit costs, the number of parking spaces will remain the same. Campus Safety Supervisor Ben Macias said it sounds like a bigger problem than it is. “Hypothetically speaking, if we had ten stalls and we sold 20 parking permits, well, not all 20 parking permit vehicles are going to be here at the same time because we offer a range of classes at different times throughout the day during the week,”
Macias said. “Tuesdays, Thursdays, for example, the S6 student parking lot over by the stadium — that never gets filled up.” However, some students still have trouble finding parking on campus. Citrus students Lauren Carter and Isabella Spallino said they follow other students walking in the parking lot to find a space. They both said they feel “road rage” while waiting to leave their cars to get to class. Carter said she feels “parking paranoia” when arriving on campus, which she said makes her morning stressful. Carter said it is paranoia because it starts when waking in the morning and having to rush just to make extra time to get a spot. But Macias said that parking is available on campus. “There is parking on campus, it just might not necessarily be right outside the building you’re going to, so it might require you to walk a little bit. But there is parking on campus,” Macias said. Macias also referred to the Citrus Annex 1 parking and said it “never gets filled up” any day of the week.

Veterans to perform at Haugh The U.S. Army Field band will perform at the Haugh for free BY JOSHUA HERNANDEZ STAFF REPORTER
JHERNANDEZ@CCCLARION.COM
The Haugh Performing Arts Center will host free concert by the U.S. Army Field Band and Soldiers’ Chorus in honor of veterans on Nov. 6. The group will perform a patriotic songs at 7 on Election Night. The Army Ground Forces Band
was formed in 1946 by Chief Warrant Officer Chester Whiting. Originally known as the First Combat Infantry Band, it was comprised of soldier musicians returning from World War II. The band spent the four post-war years touring across the country to boast support for the troops, performing for the American public and advertising war bonds. In 1950, the Army Ground Forces were renamed, and so too was the band, becoming the U.S. Army Field Band. Now, after 72 years of performing, the Army Field Band’s built a
reputation for excellence that is known across every state and over thirty countries. As the oldest component of the band, the Concert Band in particular has also had the distinction of performing at several presidential inaugurations, further demonstrating their skill and professionalism. Free tickets were made available since Sept. 4 at the Haugh’s box office or at (626) 963-9411. Attendees must be in their reserved seats by 6:45 p.m. on the night of the performance; any leftover or unclaimed seats will be available to the public by 6:50 p.m., so it is important to reserve a seat as soon as possible.
REVIEW
Folk legends resurrected Kingston Trio performs to hundreds at the Haugh PAC BY JAMES DUFFY V EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
JDUFFY@CCCLARION.COM
Members of the Kingston Trio all say they avoid political messages in their songs. But their music and the musicians the group inspired launched the youth counter culture of 1960s. Bob Dylan, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and The Eagles all credit the Trio as their musical inspiration. The Kingston Trio played to a crowd of about six hundred at the Haugh Performing Arts Center on Oct. 7. “We try to stay away from it, but as I say in the show, all songs are political,” Member Mike Marvin said. “Even love songs are political.” The song that catapulted the Kingston Trio to national fame is about treacherous lover, ”Tom Dooley.” The North Carolinian folk ballad was popular in that state for generations before the Trio added their powerful acapella to its cover. “Tom Dooley” was composed after a former confederate soldier, Tom Dula was hanged in 1968 for stabbing his fiance to death. Historians speculate that Dula’s jealous lover was the murderer. A chivalrous honor code may have prevented him from implicating his lover, though he protested his innocence on the gallows before he was hanged. Though none of the founding members of the Kingston Trio perform (two of whom are dead) the

acoustic folk group has not changed its act much since it started touring 60 years ago. The band still plays into a shared mic. It was the first folk act to rise to the #1 Billboard’s Top 40 in 1958. Trio member Tim Gorelangton said when the group won a 1959 Best Country and Western Grammy, people did not know how to classify the music. Folk music takes its name from the folklore tales that inspire many of its lyrics. Performers like Woody Gutherie and Pete Singer pioneered folk music’s oratory the Kingston Trio references and imitates throughout the show. Marvin is the group’s unofficial emcee. He is adopted son of Trio founder Nick Reynolds. His band mates playfully heckle him in between performances. “You know, there’s no crocodiles in the everglades,” Marvin said on stage. “In fact there’s no crocodiles anywhere in North America, except for the ones that live in Washington D.C.” Trio members all agreed on their group’s responses. “There are a lot of groups beautifully carrying on the tradition,” Marvin said. He cited the contemporary band
Mumford and Sons as a group vying for Folk’s top spot. “With folk music now more than ever is a time when people needed to remember these stories,” Marvin said. “Especially with digital, there’s not a lot of people going out and saying here’s a song I wrote.” Gorelangton said he did wish they attracted a younger audience. The crowd was mostly white-haired seniors. Attendee Fran Banta said she remembers seeing the original band play in San Diego in 1962. Banta who is 77 years old said she wasn’t yet 21. “They may have new members, but they don’t sound any different,” Banta said. The groups tunes and lyrics move their audience to shake, dance, laugh and sing along “I think the whole business of singing together is human nature,” Gorelangton said. “We sat around camp fires and in caves singing.” Though the never announced Trio bold choruses assert the dominance of community, story and music in a material world. “I don’t give a damn about a greenback dollar,” the Trio sang. “Spend it fast as I can. For a whaling song and a good guitar—The only things that I understand.”

Cheer squad REQUESTS CAMPUS R-E-S-P-E-C-T Cheerleading captains want recognition as official sport BY JAMES DUFFY EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
JUFFY@CCCLARION.COM
Citrus College Cheer squad members want their club to be an official sport. The entirely volunteer team dresses sharply for football and basketball games, but they do so on their own dime. Team members estimate they pay $1,000 to $2,000 for uniforms and about $1,700 a year in transportation. Captain Naomi Gonzalez said the $200 per person average for insurance prevents the team from entering competitions and performing jump and tumble stunts. “We tried to talk to the dean (Jodi Wise) but she said we can’t become a sport,” Gonzalez said. “She kind of shut us down. We just feel really small.” Coach Tiffany Sutton said the team used to be a sport at the college. She said cheer lost its status due to an issue insurance liability. A sophmore business and communications major, Sutton was a junior all-American cheerleader and in-

structs other high school cheer teams. She said organizing and training a cheer is more than a volunteer can handle. “From the first day someone has to know how to deal with the energy and drama involved with coaching cheer,” Sutton said. Cheer co-captain Fatima Sanchez
has been cheering since age four. She credits the sport with building her confidence. “I didn’t have any friends till I joined the cheer team,” Sanchez said. “It helped me with public speaking. Being in cheer, you have to perform in hundreds of people.” The team practices four days per
week and regularly attends the away games of Citrus football and basketball. Assistant athletic director Andrew Wheeler said for the club team to become a sport it has be approved by the California Community College Athletics Association, which requires a majority vote each college’s athletic director. Wheeler said he spoke with previous cheer captains and explained the state accreditation process. “I told her the same thing,” Wheeler said. “To be an official sport, that’s how our campus currently operates.” Wheeler also noted each sport was partly responsible for its own fundraising. Gonzales said other community colleges recognize cheer as a sport. “We wouldn’t have to go to ICCmeetings. Gonzalez said. “We’d have uniforms, we’d have transportation. We work really hard to be a sport.” Mount San Antonio Athletics department administrative specialist Suzy Basmadjian said her college’s pep team is treated the same as other sports, but it is not a state accredited. She said the Mt. SAC pep team does receive some funding, but also fundraises. “We do provide for them but it’s limited,” Basmadjian said. “They are entitled to the same privileges other athletes are on campus.”

OVERWORN practice field appROVED for Installment Practice field has not been replaced in almost 13 years BY LUCAS PELAYO STAFF REPORTER
LPELAYO@CCCLARION.COM
The installment of the new practice field turf at Citrus College was approved in a Board of Trustees meeting on Oct. 2. “The synthetic turf at Citrus College football practice field is in need of replacement,” said Claudette Dain vice president of finance and administrative services. “The cost of the synthetic turf replacement project is $491,191.82 and will be funded from the Capital Outlay Fund.” KYA group will remodel the practice field. They installed a new synthetic turf at Citrus Stadium over the summer. However, huge modifications on campus do not come from the snap of a finger. “I have been told that it is going to be put on one of the to do things for administration to do,” said Ron Ponciano, the head football coach. “There’s a process to everything and this process takes mega amount of time to get done and it’s one of the realities of working in the athletic field where you want something right now. It doesn’t happen.” Members of the Citrus athletics department worried about the conditions of the practice field and

how it affects daily workouts. “Literally everyday I pray that there are no injuries out there,” Ponciano said. The coaches frequently change the intensity of their workouts and have players change gear to adapt to the field. “I would have the kids go out in tennis shoes to practice to reduce injury because we would slow it way down,” Ponciano said. “I literally made them not wear cleats so there wasn’t a chance of getting stuck.”
Cleats can get caught in older turf fibers that become tangled. “I will be real excited when they put in the artificial turf because the practice field in my opinion is not very safe right now,” said Steve Handy, the athletic trainer. “It hasn’t been groomed to my knowledge for a long time.” Coach Ponciano stressed the need for a new practice field after witnessing turf related player injuries. “You know it was a non-contact deal and I had a couple on that ADVERTISEMENT
field this summer,” Ponciano said. “Actually I had three and two are requiring surgery. So, yeah, it’s critical we get it done. You don’t know me but I’m furious that happened. It never had to happen.” The current practice field was installed by FieldTurf on Oct. 19, 2005 — 13 years ago. The company faces a class action lawsuit from colleges and high schools for its turf product, Duraspine. FieldTurf is also being investigated for fraud in hiding
product design flaws. The research on artificial turf and non-contact injuries is still being conducted. Athletics facilities supervisor Julian Horton said the research doesnt support the connection between turf deterioration and non-contact injuries. “People blame the field for a lot of different things,” Horton said. “The injuries aren’t perfomance tested. You’re noticing impact concussions. You can’t prove it’s any better than a grass field.” Ponciano said the administration did the “right thing” by getting a new turf at Citrus Stadium but insisted they need to get the practice field done “as soon as possible.” The head coaches of both the men’s and women’s soccer and football coordinate a schedule for when their teams practice on the practice field or inside Citrus Stadium. “We make this up just so we can get by and every time you see (practice field) on there you’re going ugh,” Ponciano said. In the past two months, Citrus Stadium went through a track and turf overhaul, resulting in the practice field being used by all Citrus athletic teams during that span. Director of facilities and contstruction Fred Diamons said field reconstruction is in progress. “Very soon,” Diamond said. “Once all the paperwork is completed, a schedule will be developed.”
