Employee charged with rape BY NATALIE SANCHEZ EDITOR IN CHIEF
NSANCHEZ@CCCLARION.COM
On Oct. 10, Clarence Cernal, an administrative assistant for the Citrus College Foundation was arrested and charged on allegetations of rape by force and sex penetration by force. The Citrus College Campus Safety online crime log said the alleged rape occurred at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 27 in the Center of Innovation.
On Dec. 5, Srgt. Michael Henderson from the Glendora Police Department gave Cernal’s arrest log to the Clarion, after an initial request for the arrest log was made on Oct. 17. The arrest log stated that Cernal was arrested at 1:52 p.m. Oct. 10. at Citrus College. The Campus Safety Crime Log indicates that the arrest happened on campus. Cernal’s bail was set at $200,000
but the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department’s Inmate Information Center’s website stated Cernal posted bail for $100,000 at 10:20 p.m. Oct. 10. The website also stated that Cernal was scheduled for a court date on Oct. 15 at Pomona Municipal Court. On Nov. 14, a Clarion editor sent a California Public Records Law request to Dr. Geraldine M. Perri, Brenda Fink, Robert Sammis, Ben
Macias and Christina Garcia to provide the Clarion with all emails, documents, or messages between each person, or group of people, between Sept. 27 and Nov. 10. Perri is the superintendent president of Citrus, Fink is the Title IV coordinator, Sammis is the director of Human Resources, Macias is the director of Campus Safety and Garcia is the director of the Foundation. The administrators had 10 days to
provide the information requested. If they chose to redact emails or sections of an email, they needed to provide a written explanation, per California Public Records Act section 6255, A and B. It has been 17 business days since the request for information there have been no emails provided to the Clarion. Sammis stated in an email, SEE RAPE PAGE 7
Azusa mayor manifests altruism Mayor of Azusa remembers his vast community involvement, as his term ends in four months BY NICOLE MARIONA NEWS EDITOR
NMARIONA@CCCLARION.COM
An open-interview with Mayor of Azusa, Joseph R. Rocha was held from 4-5 p.m. Dec. 4 in the Eastwing of the Campus Center. The interview told of his humble beginnings leading up to his profession as mayor and his ongoing involvement in the City of Azusa, hosted by the Political Science Student Association along with the Associated Students of Citrus College. “People tell me ‘You don’t look like a mayor’,” Rocha said, to the interviewer and president of the PSSA, Humberto Ruiz. “The only thing that’s true is that I’m a boring man.” The audience attentively listened to his spontaneous storytelling, as Rocha referenced a disturbing altercation due to “the father not having presents for his children.” “So from that day forward I promised that no kid would go without a Christmas present,”
Rocha said. Rocha said he’s spent his $400 salary he earns as mayor to provide presents to children in need. Rocha said he was given children’s names from the school district and the names of four to five families in the school needing the most financial help. “Last year we gave away 2,000 gifts to kids,” Rocha said. Rocha also said there are alternative benefits to providing families with presents. “We have young dads who might break into cars that have VC (venture capital) gifts,” Rocha said. “So our petty crimes have dropped because you don’t have to do that, they come to us.” Rocha said one of the most relevant crime issues he deals with are gangs and gang related crimes. “We did break-up a major gang in Azusa with the coordination of other cities,” Rocha said. “But they (gangs) are coming in as we speak and I think that’s something that needs to be done.” Rocha said that he believes

a community should be more “family-oriented” and that no matter where we live, “we are all equal.” “Be true to yourself, and be proud of your tradition,” Rocha said. Within questions asked amongst the audience, Student Trustee Nancy Gonzalez-Villatoro asked
about Rocha’s suggestions about raising mental-health awareness, especially for families that may feel “talking about feelings” is taboo. “We have workshops about every other month [for people] dealing with depression and selfmutilation,” Rocha said. Rocha said a mother told him
of her daughter’s use of “mangas largas” or long sleeves in Spanish. The mother had concerns for her daughter’s mental health. “She was cutting,” Rocha said as the audience fell quiet. Rocha said there are workshops for people who are experiencing SEE MAYOR PAGE 7

The annual Christmas production put audience members on their feet BY NICK VARGAS STAFF REPORTER
NVARGAS@CCCLARION.COM
The Haugh Performing Arts Center’s annual holiday spectacular is a display of well acted performances, dance numbers and overall talent from all involved. Act 1 began with performances by the Citrus Singers, Treble Chorus and Barber Shop Quartet. The Citrus singers sung classic Christmas songs such as “Silent Night” and “Jingle Bells.” The onlooking audience was met with the Citrus Singers singing in harmony with conductor Douglas Adams leading the way. The conductors of the Citrus Singers and Treble Chorus, Adams and Sean Fitzpatrick, both played key roles in getting the crowd warmed up before each performance, and they did so with a good sense of humor and great professionalism. The Citrus Singers added a musical twist playing hand bells while singing. The bells added to the Christmas cheer and was impressive to see. The skillful combination of singing, dancing and ringing bells showed that practice was a crucial element in this performance. The Treble Chorus impressed the crowd with the song “A La Nanita Nana.” The crowd stood up and gave them a standing ovation. One of the highlights of Act 1 was the Barbershop Quartet. Citrus Singers Emilio Pichardo, Jacob Gonzalez, Ethan Miley and Tim Villegas put on a stellar performance. Their personalities combined with talent and coordination led to an entertaining performance that had the whole audience applauding with delight. In Act 2, “A Christmas is…Once Upon a Time” delivered great acting, fun songs and visual effects. It tells the timeless story of believing in the Christmas spirit and the value of family and friends during the holiday season. Acting performances by Talia Saldana and Mario Garcia as Jennifer and Joshua St. George stood

out and brought the performance to life. One memorable part of performance was Snap the Dragon, voiced by Jessica Spencer. Her ability to bring the dragon to life stole the audience’s attention. The song “The Fairytale Annual Christmas Ball” was particularly impressive considering its choreography and fun lyrics. The set design and production of the performance was beautiful and eye grabbing. The colors of the sets and the perfection to which they were completed contributed to the entire performance. From the St. George Household to Once Upon a Time Town, it all looked very professionally done. The sets are created by student workers. It was impressive to see the kind of work students can do with set design.
Another beautifully animated scene was when the Once Upon a Time Town characters jumped out of giant book pages with clever special effects. It looked incredible. The design of Snap the Dragon was a great sight to see as well, with impressive puppeteering that brought the dragon to life. Overall, “Christmas Is… Once Upon a Time” brought the audience to their feet, was entertaining and delivered a perfectly executed performance. Both acts upheld a standard of professionalism and the effort put in by everyone involved was evident. “Christmas Is.... Once Upon a Time” will be performed in the HPAC at 2 p.m. Dec. 14 and 15 and at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Dec. 21. Tickets are available for purchase at https:// haughpac.com.

Oh no, it’s SAD season: The winter blues — many students find themselves locked up in the house or library studying for finals when the winter blues hit, but it is more than just an overwhelming feeling of sadness. Seasonal affective disorder, also known as seasonal depression, is a mood disorder that affects an individual during the same time each year. People with seasonal depression usually feel depressed during the shorter days of winter, which can affect their everyday lives. It is essential for students to be aware of their mental health and support each other because SAD is most common in young adults. So if someone shows signs of the winter blues, reach out and get them the help they need. Chaptershealth.org said SAD is estimated to occur in 10 million Americans. Between 60% and 90% of people who have SAD are women. Seasonal depression most commonly hits people in their 20s. Seasonal depression can also occur in the spring and summer. In either season, an article on themayoclinic.org said symptoms start out mild and become more severe as the season progresses. About 6% of people suffer from a severe version of SAD, which stops individuals from going out and seeing other people said the American Academy of Family Physicians.
How to get through the winter with seasonal affective disorder
Illustration by Ralph Bautista, Staff Reporter
The National Institute of Mental Health said the symptoms of SAD include feeling depressed most of the day, low energy, problems with sleep, changes in appetite or weight and feeling sluggish or agitated. Specific symptoms of the winter pattern similarly include low energy,
overeating, weight gain and social withdrawal. If someone finds themselves suffering from seasonal affective disorder, know it is common and that person is not alone. Fortunately, there are treatments available. Light therapy, using an ultraviolet-
filtered lamp, is the most common treatment for seasonal depression, said mayoclinic.org. The National Institute of Mental Health said the idea behind light therapy is to replace the diminished sunshine of the fall and winter months using daily exposure to
bright, artificial light. Citrus offers many counseling workshops with professional therapists who are trained to help students get through seasons of depression. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) can also help people with the symptoms of seasonal depression. A 2015 study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry found that those who went through a six-week course of CBT were less likely to relapse the next two winters as opposed to people using light therapy. Mayoclinic.org said the specific cause of seasonal affective disorder remains unknown. Factors that may come into play include the body’s biological clock or circadian rhythm. A drop in serotonin levels might also play a role as a neurotransmitter which regulates mood and appetite as well as an increase in melatonin. WebMD said some researchers link seasonal depression to melatonin, which causes drowsiness. Seasonal depression is most common in young adults, making college students the most vulnerable, especially women. Whatever the cause may be, it’s good to understand the signs to know how to take care of oneself and others. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Term limits expands leadership for ICC
Why NOT having term limits may deter academic growth
BY NICOLE MARIONA NEWS EDITOR
NMARIONA@CCCLARION.COM
The Inter-Club Council, a student-run organization that serves as a leader for all 23 student clubs by providing a framework for successful club operations, doesn’t have term limits, which may hinder academic growth and discourage other students from running for an ICC leadership position. ICC not having term limits poses a barrier for other students to apply in a leadership position in ICC, such as being President, vice president, secretary, commissioner of public relations and commissioner of activities. Students are discouraged to run for an ICC leadership position because it’s already being filled by someone with more experience — an unfair advantage that deters other students to “get their foot in the door” because of lack there-of. Student Life Coordinator Rosario Garcia said while leadership positions offer a good experience that will help with people’s academic achievements, not having term limits permits a student to stay in the position longer. Students who have been in the position longer than two years have a possibility not trying other leadership opportunities, limiting their expansion of experience in other fields of leadership. A possibility, Rosario said, is that individuals who feel more comfortable in the position can also prolong their time at the community college, longer than the necessary time to complete their academic goals. “Don’t forget that you’re a

student first,” Garcia said. “All the extracurricular activities are great because it is helping your academic goals, but your goal shouldn’t be to stay in ASCC or ICC for too long. Rosario said on Sept. 9 when taking a vote for ICC term limits, votes were not counted by club representatives who attended the meeting, rather by the clubs in total. A total of 20 club representatives attended the meeting and three were absent. The vote won by a simple majority. Thirteen club representatives approved the vote, three were against it, and three abstained from voting, meaning the representatives voted neither for nor against term limits for ICC. “It’s a vote of all active clubs, not just the clubs attending the
meeting,” Rosario said. “If it would have been all clubs attending the meeting, it would’ve made the two-thirds vote, and obviously, it would’ve passed.” But a complete two-thirds vote of the 23 clubs as a whole was not the case. Hypothetically, there would have been a total of 16 club representatives who voted for term limits, not 13, to pass term limits for ICC. Disagreements for term limits are due to thoughts of it being unfair, Students Programs Facilitator, Amayrani Ochoa. “They felt it was unfair for those who stayed here longer and wanted to continue in being involved,” Ochoa said. Ochoa also said if term limits were to exist in ICC, it may inhibit those to
continue being in an ICC leadership position. “There are other opportunities to still be involved,” Ochoa said. “They can do ASCC for example, clubs, and even do the Clarion.” Ochoa said that she didn’t take the traditional two-year time to transfer to a university, but rather four years. When Ochoa was involved in the community college she attended, she said she had term limits as well. When Ochoa completed her two years in her position, she moved on to the next thing. Garcia and Ochoa said that one of the main goals as a coordinator and facilitator for students is to make sure every student achieves their academic goals while at Citrus. ASCC Vice President Dustin
Glover he believes term limits would, “promote student success and student completion.” “Term limits align with completion dates for programs and student goals, whether it be an associate’s or an ADT (associate degree for transfer), “ Glover said. Garcia said that having no term limits in ICC can possibly lengthen the students’ time obtaining their goals. Garcia said she believes another reason why students voted against term limits is because students don’t want to let go of something that they are already familiar with. “I think it’s the fact that it’s scary to transfer out and go to a new place, because this is a good place,” Ochoa said. Garcia said one possibility ICC can have term limits is by amending the ASCC’s constitution, since ASCC’s constitution has jurisdiction over the ICC’s constitution. “They (ASCC) can put it in their constitution and say that ICC shall have the same term limits as ASCC,” Garcia said. “ASCC would then have to vote and amend it; again it has to be a two-thirds majority.” Once ASCC has their initial votes, the whole student population has to vote on term limits and go through a special elections, Ochoa said. ICC members still have a say in the voting process, as student voters to vote for or against term limits. Ultimately, term limits are beneficiary in allowing students “in line” an opportunity to take charge in ICC, allowing a sufficient time in the leadership experience and pushing those who’ve fulfilled their time in the ICC position to achieve greater.

Life after community college causes stress Frustrations concerning applying and transferring to college are vocalized BY NICK VARGAS STAFF REPORTER
NVARGAS@CCCLARION.COM
Nick Vargas, Staff Reporter
College applications are common in the community college process and what comes with that process is some frustration. Stress from the application process can consist of not knowing what to major in, not having an understanding of what to do post community college or anxiety of applying to a college in general. Engineering majorJames Kiralla said, “What stresses me out is the amount of competition to get into the school I’m applying to. I just don’t know if I will be able to get in. I want to get a degree in mechanical engineering because it will give me better opportunities to thrive and succeed.”
College students seem to feel the pressure of tough deadlines and graduating from a community college to a four year university on time. The Student Success Initiative states that the percentage of degree, certificate, and/or transfer-seeking students starting for the first time in 2011-2012 who completed a degree, certificate or transferrelated outcomes in six years through 2016-2017 is only 51.3%. For some college students, it seems that life gets in the way as well. “The stressful part about applying for college is applying by the deadline while trying to juggle other things in life and paying for application fees as well,” Kinesiology major David Garcia said. Also you are fighting to get into the classes you need, that can
set you back if you’re not prepared.” There is some hope that may save college students that are having trouble with applying. Citrus College offers a wide range of assistance when applying for college during deadline time. Citrus student Andrea Martinez said, “Meeting with a counselor and going to the application workshops have made everything go by easily and smooth. I think it would be pretty hectic without the resources of a counselor and the workshops,” Citrus has its own services in the Student Services building on the second floor. Students can make an appointment in person at the help desk or make one via phone by calling the counseling and advisement center at 626-914-8530.

Streaming services dominate TV BY JACOB LUEVANO STAFF REPORTER
JLUEVANO@CCCLARION.COM
The streaming industry is beginning to take over and may well be the future of media. Streaming music, podcasts and videos are at the forefront of streaming services. An article published in October by Amy Watson for http:// statista.com said about 85% of Americans above the age of 18 own a smartphone as of 2018. The adults of this generation are quickly adapting to the world of technology. The current generation of children are growing up with high level technology, so they have become accustomed to it. The older generation is assumingly a large portion of the percent who don’t currently use streaming services and have cable TV, so it can only be assumed that streaming services will rule the world as time goes on.
For the past several years, Netflix has been at the forefront with over 160 million subscribers as of 2019. With 62% of U.S. adults currently subscribed to a streaming service, Apple and Disney have joined the party as viable competitors. All of a sudden, there are numerous services fighting over the rights for certain TV shows and series, as well as standing out from other streaming services. Netflix stands out from other sites with their Netflix originals, which have been nominated for Emmy awards and Golden Globe awards. Disney Plus is the only platform with unlimited Disney shows and movies, making them a large appeal to the many Disney fans of the world. Even if someone is a sports junkie, they could pay for a streaming service that offers unlimited live sports for any particular sport.
Every streaming service is different in their own way and it is hard to choose just one, but what they offer has become a large competitor to cable services. An article published in March by Toni Fitzgerald for forbes.com said the average American subscriber watches 3.4 streaming services. Streaming services are based on monthly payments and the cost of three streaming services is still less, if not close to the same, than that of cable. An article published in March by updater.com saaid the average cable package is $105. Meanwhile Netflix and Hulu are averaged at $10 per month. And with three streaming services, there are more shows, original series, sports and movies without commercials. Flexibility is a huge difference between cable and streaming services. Streaming services are all
The rise in popularity for streaming services may result in the end of cable monthly subscription based, so the ability to cancel your subscription whenever the mood strikes is an important benefit. Cable tv locks their consumer into an annual contract. Customized viewing is also a huge advantage streaming services have over cable. For instance, if a customer is a huge fan of Nickelodeon, they may want to buy a subscription to Netflix, who made a multiyear deal just recently, for $200 million, to utilize Nickelodeon’s characters and create original films and tv shows. This would allow fans of Nickelodeon to watch whenever they please, whereas in cable tv, the customer is restricted to only being able to watch what is on at the time they are watching. Streaming services have also affected the movie industry. An article published in June 2018 by Lizzie Plaugic for theverge.
com said 2017 was a 25-year low for movie attendance. The drop was 5.8% of the previous year and revenue even dropped 2.7%. An article published in June by Erik Kohn for indiewire.com said the 2019 box office is down 9% from last year. usatoday.com said the national average cost of a movie ticket in 2018 was $9.11, and that’s without the overpriced theater snacks. A subscription to Netflix is roughly between $9 and $16. So the appeal to avoid movie theaters, save money and watch movies on streaming sites has grown. There is no reason to believe that streaming services are not the future of television and media. From the difference in price, convenience and flexibility of choosing what to watch and comfort of streaming at home, streaming services are taking over cable and no one can stop them.

“the day period is to acknowledge whether the requested records are public records.” The 10-day period requires all information requested to be given to the person requesting the information. All emails sent from a Citrus College email account are by law public record. Sammis told a Clarion editor on Nov. 20 that he would look through the emails and redact all emails or parts of emails that would disclose information protected under federal privacy laws. Sammis has not given the Clarion a date when the requested information will be provided. On Nov. 15, a Clarion editor requested interviews with Ben Macias, Dr. Geraldine M. Perri, Brenda Fink, Dr. Robert Sammis and Christina Garcia. The editor sent a follow-up email on Dec. 4 to request interviews again after only receiving a response from Sammis. Fink and Macias have not responded to the request for an interview. Perri stated in an email she cannot speak about the incident because it is a personnel matter. Garcia stated in an email, “Dr. Sammis handles public records requests, as well as responding to interview requests regarding employee matters.” The Clarion editor asked Garcia if she would be willing to discuss the future of The Foundation and how they plan to move past this incident, but Garcia has not responded as of Dec. 9. The Clarion is continuing to report on this story. If more verifiable information becomes available, the

Other workshop information that can be found on the city of Azusa’s website include Sexually Transmitted Disease prevention and teen-pregnancy prevention. “And it’s (the workshops) objective without being anything subjective — just being objective,” Rocha said. “Hopefully, the next mayor will carry on those workshops.” Rocha also said he has an obligation to be an involved leaderwith a major focus on the homeless population in Azusa. Alongside with the concerns in mental health, Rocha proposed a possible solution in response to a question from the audience regarding homeless college students at Citrus who are “couch-surfiing,” or students who live temporarily in a consecutive number of homes. “In Azusa, there are people in their cars; we let them be in there,” Rocha said. “But, for here (the college), you should have a space designated for students to spend the night here, not around the building or around the buildings.” “If we’re going to solve this problem, we’re going to have to do it together,” Rocha said. Commissioner-at-large of the Associated Students of Citrus College, Mathew Lopez Bentley, asked Rocha about homelessness in Azusa and mental health disorders and what was being done about it. “We take them (the homeless) to Charter Oak for mental evaluations and get them help,” Rocha said.

Nicole Mariona, News Editor Mayor Joseph R. Rocha answers a question from the audience regarding homelessness in Azusa to the president of the Political Science Student Association, Humberto Ruiz at the interview held on Dec. 5 at the east wing of the Campus Center.
“There are also winter shelter programs for them as well.” Rocha said one morning he was walking outside with a Walmart bag and to his surprise a homeless lady started “cussing at the Walmart bag.” “Sometimes, they (the homeless) don’t want the help, and if they do, then we provide the services,” Rocha said. “But a majority of them like the lifestyle, and that’s that.” Rocha said he first started his college education at Citrus College where he also met his wife — who are currently “very happy together.” Rocha said he believed he wasn’t “very smart” but always said he always, “stayed true to the course.”
“Up here, I don’t have a lot; down here I have a lot,” Rocha said with his right fist clenched above his heart. Political science major Amjad Ghamem said what he found interesting was the fact that Rocha said he attended Citrus without having too many friends. “Instead of looking at the school with remorse, he actually tries his best to make the school better so that nobody has to go through the same situation that he did,” Ghamem said. As a mayor who has given back to his community, Rocha said that the city of Azusa offers scholarships that are “open to everyone” and are
made available on the city of Azusa website. Rocha said that for the whole 74 years of his life, he has a devotion to God and has a moral duty to serve as the mayor of Azusa. “I am son of a loving God,” Rocha said. “We start every meeting with a prayer and ask God to watch over the men and women who serve.” Rocha said he’d ask himself, “Is being mayor something that would honor him?” Regardless, Rocha said he’s more proud of who he is, rather than his title as mayor. “In four months I’m not going to be mayor, but I am going to still be me,” Rocha said.

El 2012 marcó un gran cambio en la vida de varios jóvenes en los Estados Unidos con la formación de DACA o “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.” DACA es un programa que ayuda a los jóvenes sin documentos a trabajar o estudiar sin tener miedo de la deportación. Desde el 2012 hasta el dia de hoy, DACA ha registrado alrededor de 800,000 individuos. Un reporte de “U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services” documenta que en 2017 había alrededor de 690,000 personas registradas en DACA. Qué sucedería si el gobierno de los Estados Unidos ilegalizaran DACA? Sólo en el estado de California habitan alrededor de 223,000

Las personas registradas en DACA son conocidos como “Dreamers o Soñadores.” Estas personas no son criminales, ni son culpables de estar en los Estados Unidos sin documentación. Las personas registradas en DACA son jóvenes que llegaron a este país sin su consentimiento. Muchos

fueron traídos a este país cuando eran bebés o tan chicos que ni se acuerdan. Son personas que se han dedicado a estudiar o trabajar con gran etica y ahora sufren bajo una administración que regresa todos los temores a la deportación que tenían y sufrían antes del inicio del programa. La gran diferencia entre su temor antes del 2012, bajo la
administración de Obama, y su temor hoy en día, con Trump, es que el gobierno en el cual ellos confiaron ahora tiene toda su información y detalles de su existencia en los Estados Unidos. En otras palabras, antes vivían en las sombras del país y DACA los transformó en personas fáciles de identificar y localizar. Estas personas representan una gran parte de la economía
de los Estados Unidos siendo que alrededor de 700,000 personas han recibido DACA y todas las personas que están conectadas con cada recipiente sería afectados causando una crisis económica. Con tantos vidas en riesgo de la continuation de DACA hay que ver lo que decide la corte suprema este verano y a ver los efectos y consecuencias de la decisión del gobierno.
RESEÑA
Viviendo entre dos culturas Hijos de padres Mexicanos se sienten forzados a vivir una cultura que no es de ellos POR VICMAN THOME EDITOR DE LA TROMPETA VTHOME@CCCLARION.COM
“Yo No Soy tu Perfecta Hija Mexicana,” escrito por la renombrada autora, Erika Sánchez, revela muchos problemas que existen dentro de la cultura Mexicana en los Estados Unidos. Problemas que honestamente son una minoría de los casos. Dentro de esta minoría existen padres que son muy conservadores en lo que debe ser la cultura mexicana, una cultura que ha evolucionado y ha llegado ser muy diferente a la que ellos han vivido. Muchos de estos problemas son expectativas que los padres ponen a sus hijos pero ellos no quieren cumplir. Por ejemplo; dentro del libro, Olga, la hermana de la narradora, fue forzada a no poder ir a la universidad por tener que quedarse a cuidar a sus padres. Algo que todo hijo de familia tenía que hacer segun lo que era tradicional,… en el año del caldo. Pero eso no es cierto, en estos tiempos la mayoría de padres vienen a este país para mejorar el futuro de su familia, no limitarlo. Un ensayo escrito por la
Association Hispana de Colegios y Universidades dice que la tasa de asistencia a universidades Americanas va en aumento y pronto llegará a la par con la asistencia de alumnos, hijo de padre y madre americanos. Continuando con el libro, se esperaba que Olga limpiara la casa, pagará los servicios de la casa trabajando medio tiempo e incluso que cuidara a su hermana menor. Cosa que no quería hacer. El ejemplo de Olga es una realidad que algunas niñas tienen que soportar, aunque este tipo de educación es adaptada según el área y la situación económica en la que hayan crecido sus padres. Son forzadas a adoptar una cultura de un país donde ni siquiera viven, en un tiempo que ya no existe y a ser sumisas a sus maridos y si no tienen, a su familia. No pueden soñar y tener ideas para su futuro. La responsabilidad de ser la “hija perfecta” y la presión de tener que ser lo que su familia quería que fuera cayeron sobre ella y cambiaron su vida. All morir Olga en un accidente de carro, la presión cayó sobre su hermana Julia. Pero Julia tenía ideas progresivas. Ella soñaba con ir a Nueva York para seguir su carrera de escritora y llegar a tener fama. Por lo tanto era la “oveja negra de la familia.” La presión de los padres para que los hijos sean perfectos muchas veces lleva a los jóvenes a querer suicidarse. Deciden quitarse la vida para salir del problema. Un artículo escrito por la MSNBC dice que las niñas hispanas son más propensas

a cometer suicidio. Esto puede deberse a las ideas que los padres le meten para que sean mejor. En el caso de Julia, esta presión existía con gritos y regaños constantes de su madre comparandola a su hermana muerta; siempre diciéndole que porque ella no era como Olga. Pero toda la imagen de Olga cambia cuando Julia descubre notas de amor y una llave de hotel en el cuarto de Olga. Olga tenía una vida secreta. Más bien dicho, Olga fue forzada a tener una vida secreta. Esa presión constante de sus padres la acorralo a no poder decirle a sus padres de su novio o de sus aventuras secretas con su amiga. Tenía que mantener una imagen frente a sus padres y sus amigos. Julia decide que la vida secreta de su hermana le interesa y le gustaría saber mas de ella. Decide investigar y encuentra que su hermana no es la persona que ella pensaba que era. Encuentra el lado oscuro de Olga. Olga no era perfecta pero eso era perfectamente normal.

CITRUS MOMS DO IT ALL
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2019 13 From finishing their education to raising children, the population of mothers at Citrus College prove not to be be an average student
BY REBEKAH JONES CONTRIBUTING WRITER CONTACT@CCCLARION.COM
Citrus College is a diverse campus, brimming with students from all walks of life. One such student, makes their way on and off campus on a tight schedule, as other forces beyond class beckons for their attention. Being a Citrus mother is part of an unknown factor on campus that many don’t consider. Mothers are expected, both in public and private, to appear graceful, clean and ever-presentable, adding college to the list is a feat that seldom earns recognition. One of Citrus College’s student moms, Kimberly Toth, came forward to share about her experience, and how society has pressured her into being perfect. “I feel society has a lot of expectations for mothers. I think there is this pressure to be ‘Pinterest perfect’ at everything,” Toth said. “It feels like we’re supposed to have it all together, all the time, and look good while we’re doing it,” Toth said. Toth expressed concern with her school, work and familylife balance and said she feels guilty and overwhelmed when it comes to college on top of everything else. Sometimes, we can overlook our fellow Citrus classmates and assume they are doing the same amount of work as everyone else — but sometimes, they’re doing a great deal more. Student mothers don’t put aside

their motherly duties when they set foot on campus; throughout their day they are coordinating with babysitters, school nurses, and sometimes hospital nurses while staying focused on their lectures. Photography major Twila Knight shared what it can be like to be a working mother, a student and a homemaker. “When I had a full-time job, parttime job, plus my photography, two
classes in college, plus a new house I had been renovating, my three teenagers and husband; when I think of how much time I take on at one time, I become overwhelmed at the thought alone,” Knight said. Knight also expressed the importance of having appropriate coping mechanisms when it comes to mothering, and how it can get you through challenging times. “I honestly cannot imagine not
being a mother, and I also cannot imagine not working hard for what I want,” Knight said. Being a student mother is no small feat, and yet these Citrus moms make it seem like a walk in the park. The Institute for Women’s Policy Research said 22% of undergraduate students are parents, and 70% of them are women. Student mothers comprising roughly 2.7
million students, it’s not surprising to discover at least a handful of mothers attend Citrus — and many more may go unnoticed. Elena Meza is attending college for the first time, but originally trained in a cosmetology trade school. She is a mother of a 15-year-old and 5-yearold. “I feel that a lot of the times in the Hispanic culture at least from experience. Once you become a mom education isn’t important. I was 16 years old when I had my daughter and that was my biggest battle with her father,” Meza said. Meza has held off on her education until now due to a cultural and societal viewpoint of motherhood. The women who break these boundaries provide thriving evidence that mothers will always do more and be more than society expects. With tight ropes pulling these student mothers in every direction, they still show up to class with a determined attitude and forceful energy. Citrus moms are worthy of praise and admiration for our esteemed community, and a reason to continue to strive for absolute excellence. Citrus moms are pure, unadulterated inspiration in the face of a society that expects energy beyond measure from them. They are incredibly capable, strong and resilient — and they humbly walk our campus doing far more than meets the eye.
PERSONAL STORY
The truth about the Hollywood stereotype Celebrities may not be around every corner, but they’re much closer than you think BY ASHLEY ECONOMOU STAFF REPORTER
AECONOMOU@CCCLARION.COM
As someone who lives 30 minutes east of Sunset Boulevard, has spent countless nights jammin’ with late night bands at the Fonda and eating dinner at Mel’s Diner at 3 a.m., I consider myself an L.A. local. Throughout the years, I’ve done more than just hang out in trendy cafes and buy vintage records. I’ve formulated a plan to meet every celebrity and get into any show anyone could be interested in going to. I’ve met countless celebrities over the past several years, all without having any major connections or spending huge amounts of money. I’ve met a stumbling, drunk Tyler Posey (“Teen Wolf’s” Scott McCall) at a hardcore show. I had dinner with Rob Raco (“Riverdale’s” Joaquin DeSantos) sitting right next to me on multipe occassions and I saw the Arctic Monkeys, while dancing with Jacob Elordi (“The Kissing Booth’s”, Noah Flynn). Not only have I met celebrities, I’ve also developed a way of practically guaranteeing the best seats to almost any concert for the most reasonable price. While some of this is a matter of a right place, right time situations, there’s always a strategy. Knowing the resources available via internet is important. With

social media, television, interviews and so much more at our fingertips, it has become easy to get almost any amount of information on anyone. I’ve been able to find home addresses, common dinner spots and airport boarding times just from checking a few things on social media or watching an interview. These days concert tickets are expensive and arenas are getting bigger. Overall, it has become harder to enjoy seeing your favorite bands. I’m someone who has been
to countless concerts and I can tell you that I’ve never had a bad seat. My trick is to never buy my tickets in advance. Almost every venue, from the Staples Center to the Wiltern to the Roxy, will sell tickets at the box office the night of the show. When tickets are bought from the box office of a concert venue, there is a better selection of seats and the tickets are not taxed. It’s the easiest and cheapest way to get fabulous seats. I’ve managed to get front row seats more than a handful of times using
this tactic. Not only have I met celebrities and get seats close to the stage, for practically any show, but I also recently had the opportunity to be in a music video for a few well known artists. During June, I was picked out of hundreds of applicants to be in a music video for Machine Gun Kelly, Yungblud and Travis Barker. To be cast in a music video, people usually have to audition first. This was a special case; there was an open invitation to be involved
in Kelly’s music video, posted on his Instagram story. Anyone could apply and I was lucky enough to get picked. Artists offer these kind of fun opportunities all the time, fans just have to find them. None of this happened because I’m special or have connections; it has all been possible due to social media savviness, taking the time to explore Los Angeles and just talking to people. If anyone spends enough time in Los Angeles, they’ll learn all of its secrets, they just have to take the time.

VOLLEYBALL PLAYER’S IMPACT IS UNMATCHED Nominated volleyball player of the Year Nia Nix brings positivity to her coaches and teammates BY CASSIE SAMPSON FEATURES EDITOR
CSAMPSON@CCCLARION.COM
& JOSEPH DURHAM STAFF REPORTER
JDURHAM@CCCLARION.COM
Nia Nix is an attacker for the Citrus volleyball team and is the front-runner for volleyball player of the year. Head volleyball coach Shin Jung nominated Nix for player of the year. He said Nix is a hard worker on and off the court. Jung praises Nix’s work ethic, which makes his job easier. The Citrus Owls volleyball team ended its season 6-6 in conference and 9-17 overall with an average of nine kills per set. “The first half of the season wasn’t very good in the sense that we didn’t play as a team; we played way too many individualistic plays,” Jung said. “But the second half of the season was much better.” In addition to being an elder sister, a nursing major and an exceptional student, Nix is also a power player for the team. Nix is a force to be reckoned with; she has a kill/spike ratio of 4.7
and a hitting percentage of 0.248. Nix started playing volleyball when she was a freshman at Chino Hills High School. She said her father inspired her to start playing volleyball and continues to motivate her to keep playing. “My dad told me ‘when you get to high school, you’re going to play a sport’, so I tried out for the (volleyball) team and I made it because I was tall,” Nix said. Jung said Nix is an asset because she brings a lot of experience from being a 4-year varsity player in high school and was one of the top players being recruited for colleges. Nix’s playing style is aggressive and she doesn’t tire easily. She said performing well in games is a product of constant practicing and grinding to get better. The Citrus volleyball team constantly sets Nix up for intense spiking action and Nix takes the chance every time she can. “I love hitting, serving and blocking — even though I haven’t really gotten any blocks this season,” Nix said. Jung said Nix was reluctant to lead the team because in a junior
college setting, players are only together on a team for one to two years and it is difficult to become good teammates in that time. “She did what she was supposed to as a leader on and off the court,” Jung said. Jung said he thinks Nix’s sense of knowing when to step up and when to say the right things make her a good volleyball player. “Her clutch plays on the court and just being a smart person allaround are some qualities that are hard to find, not only in a volleyball player but as an athlete,” Jung said. Jung said he wants to see Nix move on to the next level in the future and thinks she has an opportunity to do that. Mistakes and stress are occupational hazards in sports and happen whether wanted or unwanted. Nix said all the women on the team are very critical of themselves to ensure their mistakes aren’t repeated. Jung said Nix’s weakness is not communicating and she holds onto her anger too much so sometimes it hurts her play. Nix said she struggles with not
getting upset over mistakes despite both coaches not wanting the team to be hypercritical of themselves. “I can’t think of one girl that doesn’t get mad when she messes up,” Nix said. Aside from Nix’s mistakes, she said this is the best she’s played in any season so far. She has been a force to be reckoned with and she said opposing teams make it a point to try and smother her aggressive play style. In a game against Bakersfield, Nix scored 15 kills out of the team’s 29 kills. Despite losing the game, 3-0, Nix said she felt she performed well as she could. She adjusted to the situation and continued to rack up kills relentlessly despite the 3-1 coverage Bakersfield put on Nix. “They were focused on me. They were only serving me, they had three players blocking me so I feel like I did good adjusting to that,” Nix said. Nix crowds the net constantly, with her hands raised in preparation for the next opportunity to either defend or spike the ball. Jung said her strength is that she can do everything on the court;
she’s very strong and powerful. Since Nix was the power player of the season, teams focused on trying to shut Nix down and keeping her kills to a minimum. Players watch a film of old games to gain insight of opposing players that might be an obstacle to obtaining a win and Nix is definitely an obstacle in the way of another team’s win. “If they watch the film, then they know,” Nix said. Stress is a large factor in a player’s performance, it can mean the difference between the victory lap or the walk of shame. Nix said she feels the most stress when it’s game point and she’s serving. She said she knows she needs to stay calm and breathe to serve to the correct spot on the court. “I just tell myself ‘Nia you got this, you’re fine’,” Nix said. “I try to breathe because I know I get really frustrated.” Despite the team’s overall record, Nix said she remains positive and looks forward to each of the team’s games. Her hard work will assist the Owls in more victories next season.

I’m thinking maybe teaching because I want to be able to teach the children the future what exactly we have planned or what has happened in the past so that way they learn about what we did and they can either use those ideas for the future or to try to, try to avoid our past mistakes.
Right now my major is biology but I do want to do environmental science, so for the next decade I’m hoping that we do a lot more advancements in like the environment, creating new biofuels, new alternative energy .

Burger King’s Impossible Whopper isn’t vegan
Infographic by Geo Lopez
The burger joint recently began promoting their new “vegan burger” but it turns out, the burger isn’t actually vegan. BY RANDALL RAMIREZ STAFF REPORTER
RRAMIREZ@CCCLARION.COM
Burger King began selling The Impossible Patty, a plant-based burger that consists mostly of soy ingredients, at all its locations
across the U.S. Aug. 8, CNN reporter Daniele Wiener-Bronner said in a CNN article. However, the Impossible Whopper is not suitable for vegans since the burger contains mayonnaise and is prepared on the same broiler as Burger King’s meat products.
The burger does accommodate the dietary standards of a vegetarian if the customer is aware of and asks for the non-broiler preparation method that is available only upon request. An examination shows only 16 all-vegan restaurants serve the Impossible Patty in Los Angeles County, while 86 Burger King locations in the same county serve ADVERTISEMENT
the Impossible Whopper, which are not intentionally prepared to be vegan but “beef free.” Of these 16 all-vegan restaurants, the lowest costing impossible burger is $11. Burger King’s Impossible Whopper has proven there are a lack of affordably priced Impossible burgers available to low-income vegans in Los Angeles.
Burger Kings sells the Impossible Whopper for a low of $5.59, which is $17.41 less than the highest costing Impossible Burger in the Los Angeles County. The highest costing Impossible Burger in Los Angeles County sells for $23 at Crossroads Kitchen on Melrose Avenue, while the lowest costing Impossible Burger is sold at Monty’s Good Burger for $11.
