Police aim to help homeless

GRETCHEN DAVEY / DAILY TITAN

Located on Commonwealth Avenue, the Fullerton Police Department deals with all residents of Fullerton, including the local homeless population. Fullerton, along with all of Orange County, has seen a growing problem with homelessness. There will be new officers in the FPD who cater specifically to the needs of the homeless.

Fullerton Police Department partnered with the Coast to Coast Foundation in a continued effort to solve the homelessness problem in Fullerton and Orange County. ASHLYN RAMIREZ Daily Titan

Fullerton Police Department (FPD) has bolstered the effort to reach out to the homeless population in Orange County. The Coast to Coast Foundation, a nonprofit organization, is a local group that aims to better the lives of homeless

individuals and homeless children in the area. Coast to Coast Foundation is a faith-based foundation, but they are always accepting volunteers. Their overall goal is to help people in need, according to its website.

The work that the foundation has done for the community is large, and the partnering with the FPD was a logical move for the city. SEE FPD

Fullerton Fire Department hosts fundraiser. ROBERTO MUNIZ Daily Titan Pink shirts replace Fullerton firefighters’ regular uniform shirts throughout the month of October. The back of the shirts read, “Fullerton Firefighters,” with this year’s slogan, “Fired Up to Find a Cure,” in the middle of a water hose ribbon. Fullerton firefighters can be seen wearing these pink shirts to support cancer awareness in the community as a part of the Fullerton Fire Department’s (FFD) fifth annual Pinktober event. “About five years ago, we started this because one of our own members’ (at the time) wives was suffering from cancer,” said Fullerton Fire Capt. John Miller. “So, we wanted to basically raise awareness and find a way to make money and donate to get rid of cancer.” Since then, the FFD has been helping fundraise for cancer awareness. They sell

The amount of items sold and money raised has increased with each year. “Needless to say, we ordered like 1,500 (t-shirts) to start the month now, so each

year it’s gotten bigger and bigger and bigger, and we keep adding more items that we’re selling,” Miller said. SEE PINK

Cal State Fullerton’s Camp Titan, the official philanthropic branch of Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), is getting into the holiday spirit early this year and preparing for its annual Titan Toy Drive. The event, which will last the entire month of November, calls upon the generosity of students, faculty and staff members to donate toys and Christmas gifts for underprivileged youth in Orange County.

Camp co-director Norman Nguyen said he wants students to dig deep and give wholeheartedly this holiday season. “We really depend on our community to be generous and thoughtful when giving away gifts,” Nguyen said. “We understand that some people don’t have the time to head out to Wal-Mart or Target to get a doll, or truck, or bike.” According to Nguyen, students can make monetary donations as well, as there will be little collection buckets around the shops on campus. The gifts and donations collected during the toy drive will be given to participating children and their families at the

how many people in the community come together for this toy drive.” This year, Titan Toy drive sponsors are offering free prizes for students that donate. Bringing an unwrapped toy to Titan Bowl & Billiards will earn one free game of bowling at the TSU, and the SRC is offering the choice of one free boot camp class to students that donate. Donation boxes will be available for toy drop-off in several locations within the newly renovated TSU and on campus between Nov. 1 to Nov. 30.

Each officer is accompanied by a mental health professional, trained to handle situations that deal with mental illness. Through partnering with the foundation, the department is now able to give back to the homeless. A day-to-day life for Heying consists of normally responding to and going to various hotspots around Fullerton. “We either respond to calls regarding transients, complaints from business owners, property owners, things like that, people that are passing by, whatever the case is,” Heying said. The goal is to try to mitigate problems that arise by trying to ease transients into following laws, Heying said. If that doesn’t work, they rely on enforcement as a last resort. “For instance, I’m in the jail right now because I contacted someone who was laying underneath the freeway and unresponsive,” Heying said. Heying, who has been a part of the HLO Unit since February 2015, said he didn’t choose this profession because he had a burning desire, it just seemed to work out for him. “I was actually selected

for it,” Heying said. The common mission, according to the Coast to Coast Foundation website, is ending homelessness in Orange County by sustaining immediate needs for homeless individuals to connect them with sustainable wrap-around services, to move individuals off the streets and connect them to services. Some things they use donations for include: bus passes, gift cards for food, water, clothing, sleeping bags, relocation money, giving access to an address, a California identification card, bicycles and other simple necessities meant to help get homeless individuals back on their feet. “We establish a relationship - a rapport with these people,” Heying said. If Fullerton PD is successful in getting homeless individuals off the streets, then they are essentially lightening the tax load for Fullerton citizens, Heying said. “I visited a homeless lady today to make sure that she had wipes because she didn’t have access to a bathroom,” Heying said. Heying brought the lady wipes that were donated to the police department

in order to make sure that she can keep herself clean. “She was happy to see me,” Heying said about the reception the HLO Unit receives from the homeless that they help. Fullerton PD’s Homeless Liaison Program and Coast to Coast Foundation host multiple events around Orange County in order to give people a chance to volunteer along with fundraising for homeless services. Every Thursday, Fullerton PD has an outreach event with the foundation at their local police department in order to provide services to homeless individuals. This Saturday, Coast to Coast will be hosting a Casino Night Fundraiser where all the proceeds will be going toward aiding the homeless. Even though they have a weekly outreach event, the HLO unit works every day to combat homelessness and make a difference in the lives of the people that need it. “Once you’re homeless for awhile, to try and get into some living arrangement and go back to rules ... they have to learn how to not be homeless again,” Heying said.

The FPD has now adopted four homeless liaison officers to its team to form a new unit known as the Homeless Liaison Officer (HLO) program. The officers are specially trained to aid in homeless outreach. They also receive help from county mental health officials when dealing with situations that involve mental illness. The police department website states the goal of the HLO Unit is to get homeless individuals into permanent housing. While each officer is trained for dealing with sensitive situations, they also have direct access to social services, along with getting help from Orange County Mental Health. Dan Heying, homeless liaison officer for Fullerton Police Department, has a personal connection through the work he does with mental health, which often overlaps with his work in the HLO Unit. “My brother-in-law is schizophrenic, so he has a mental illness,” Heying said. He said his understanding of mental illness helps with dealing with the situations he encounters on a day-to-day basis.

Spooky students take over Titans went all out to celebrate this year’s Halloween festivities. They could be seen all over campus in costumes that ranged from silly to scary. For some, it was even their first time dressing up and celebrating the holiday. EMILY DIECKMAN Daily Titan

Two friends, Mercedes Shroyer (left) and Monika Prokes, dressed up in comfortable dog and minion onsies.

This gladiator, Alireza Shahabi, dressed up as Julius Caesar to celebrate his first Halloween in the United States.

Noor Almandil put on her unicorn onesie for her first time wearing a costume to school.

Mercedes Shroyer, a speech language pathology major, was sporting a puppy onesie. Her friend Monika Prokes, a communicative disorders graduate student, was wearing a minion version of the same garment. “Onesies are comfortable,” Shroyer said about the simplicity of her costume. Shroyer said she dresses up every year, and Prokes said that she dresses up almost every year. When it comes to their holiday traditions, they like to keep it simple. Shroyer said that most years, she likes to watch scary movies and eat candy corn, the traditional Halloween treat. For this year’s Halloween, she was

planning to carry on the tradition with her boyfriend. “We’re going to watch ‘The Witch,’” Shroyer said. “(It’s) pretty much just like a different horror movie (every year).” Prokes said that she usually spends her Halloween the same way. Although this year, she was going to help a family friend by taking her children trick-or-treating, it’s usually all about the candy corn. After all, what other day has so much candy not only available, but acceptable, to eat? “Usually I just do the same thing, like watch movies with friends and eat a bunch of candy, because it’s an excuse to,” Prokes said.

Alireza Shahabi was dressed up so that he could attend a Halloween party for American Language Program (ALP) students. Shahabi said he bought his Julius Caesar costume from Party City and that he was excited to have the chance to wear it. “It’s easy, and a little bit near to my culture, because I’m Persian,” Shahabi said. “I like this one because it’s different. It’s hard to imagine for many college students who are used to childhoods spent trickor-treating, carving jacko-lanterns and choosing costumes. However, Shababi, who

Noor Almandil was on campus sporting a stylish unicorn costume. Almandil’s costume was complete with both a horn and wings, she said some people weren’t sure what she was supposed to be. “Some people were trying to guess what I was, but they couldn’t tell because this (her hood) wasn’t up,” Almandil said. However, she said the proof of her unicorn hood was in the costume itself. “On the little tag it says that I was a unicorn,” Almandil said. She also said that she dresses up for Halloween every year, but she has never dressed up for

a little bit more of our blood and sweat on it.” This sense of dedication and drive is evident in room E-24 in the engineering building, the Titan Rover headquarters, which buzzes with the activity of students tinkering with prototypes, talking about plans for the rover and working on school work. “We’re here all the time,” Holgren said. “We invite people to come in and do homework here.” Titan Rover isn’t just composed of mechanical engineering students. “It started just as a senior design project for mechanical engineering,” Holgren said. “And then as we got more integrated into the project and saw how big and multidisciplinary it is, we decided to make it a club and open it to everybody.” “Everybody” includes students ranging in majors from engineering and computer science to business and geology. Holgren is involved in a similar club on campus called the Student Innovation Collective (SINC). It is designed to increase communication between different academic departments. “We have a lot of full projects over here going on and we need people, we need business people, because there’s a lot of money involved with it and there’s a lot of business operations that go into making this work,” Holgren said. When it comes to Titan Rover, the multidisciplinary nature allows different parts of the club to specialize in different areas. “It gets pretty crazy in here,” Holgren said. “We

is 32 years old, doesn’t have any Halloween traditions that he participates in every year. He arrived in the U.S. only three months ago and this is his first time celebrating the holiday. “I’ve never experienced Halloween before, but I just ask about it and read about it on the internet,” Shahabi said. He said that the U.S. is fun because people dress up for fun, not just for superstitious reasons. The ALP party, which provided refreshments, games and even costumes for people who forgot to bring their own, was the perfect opportunity to do just that.

school. Since this is her senior year as a CTVA major, it seemed like a good time to debut the fantasy creature look for campus. Almandil said she didn’t necessarily have any annual Halloween traditions besides dressing up. Last year, she went to a Halloween party that one of her coworkers threw. This year, though, she is facing something many college students would agree is more sinister and scary than any horror movie or haunted house. This year, she said she wouldn’t be going out for Halloween at all. “I have too much homework,” Almandil said.

Titan Rover prepares for Mars EMILY DIECKMAN Daily Titan Short wheelbase. Stiff suspension. Too complex (ctrl). Need taco holder. This is a list of “mess ups” that the Titan Rover Club, a multidisciplinary campus club for engineers and scientists, has written on the board. After three years of Titan Rover’s existence, last year was the first year that the team made it into the running of the University Rover Challenge in Utah hosted by the Mars Society. “Those guys are the people that are actually trying to get this into NASA or SpaceX or something, so if you win, basically you’re giving them ideas for the actual Rover that gets sent out there with the astronauts,” said Erik Holgren, president and project lead of Titan Rover. In 2015, the Rover included an array of elements, ranging from Oculus Rift to Leap Motion, but it wasn’t until the competition that the team realized the value of simplicity. Just a few minutes into the competition, communication issues within the control system caused all of their motors to crash. “So we went as simple as possible with this. This year we’re trying to keep it simple but also expand on it and make it a little more inhouse,” said Jason Stewart, controls lead and vice president of the club. “We kind of want to up the ante and put

all have our separate teams and we’re all working on stuff individually but we do have to come together and compile all that work into a project.” The club holds meetings Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. where the team members can put together the work they’ve been doing on their respective systems. Justin Stewart, 31, computer science major and math minor who serves as both controls lead and vice president of Titan Rover, said that one of his favorite parts about Titan Rover is the opportunity it provides for interdisciplinary collaboration.

“I like that you are kind of forced to learn a lot more that may be outside your comfort zone,” Stewart said. “One, you make a lot of friends and two, you meet a lot of really intelligent people, and (are) able to bounce ideas off each other. Everybody seems to have a little bit of experience in a lot of different areas.” With all these different oversights and angles, it’s almost hard to believe the team forgot to put a taco holder on last year’s Rover. “It was in Utah though, so I figured there wasn’t going to be very many taco stands,” Stewart said. But even with the

occasional misstep, and with the members scattered across an array of disciplines and interests, the team is united in their passion for the subject. After all, there are no robotics classes offered on campus, precisely because the subject is too interdisciplinary to fit into a single department. Shan Liyanage, 24, computer science major, said that the first time he came to Titan Rover, he immediately began fiddling with a microcontroller and was excited by the idea of putting some of the concepts he’d learned into practice. “I like to see my code actually do stuff,” Liyanage

said. “Here at Rover, I can actually make stuff move instead of having it just be this concept or idea. I can actually have it come to life.” Erick Guzman, 21, mechanical engineering student and treasurer of Titan Rover, said he was feeling unsure about his major, but joining Titan Rover and being surrounded by passionate people convinced him to stick with it. “It’s a lot of hands-on experience, Guzman said. “Coming in to actually do it, and see other people happy about it and seeing the failures and everything kind of creates an amazing experience.”

This is the third consecutive year that the Fullerton Fire Department has wrapped one of its fire engines in pink in order to promote breast cancer awareness. This year, the pink is patterned with firehose ribbons that match the uniforms the firefighters wore for Pinktober.

GRETCHEN DAVEY / DAILY TITAN

Anyone who has been affected by breast cancer is invited to sign the Fullerton Fire Department’s pink fire engine in order to show their support for raising breast cancer awareness.

Pink: Cancer survivors sponsored in fundraisers CONTINUED FROM

Besides t-shirts, the firefighters also sell bracelets, beanies, calendars, hats, decals and a limited-edition Pinktober fire helmet. There are two types of donations for the helmet. The Diamond Donation of $1,000 earns the donor a personalized Pinktober fire helmet. A Platinum Donation of $1,500 earns donors not only a personalized helmet, but a firehouse dinner with the Fullerton firefighters. “We’ve sold four helmets total,” Miller said on Oct. 22. “Two of them were the fire helmet with the firehouse dinner and two just the fire helmet.” In the past four years, the FFD has raised over $80,000, and their goal this year is to break the $100,000 mark by fundraising at least $20,000 this year, Miller said. FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: @THEDAILYTITAN

The FFD sponsors a different person each year, but this year they are sponsoring two local women. Gwendolyn Thomas is a breast cancer survivor and Maxine Smith is a threetime cancer survivor. Both Thomas and Smith are currently in remission. The two women have known each other for a year. They met at the St. Jude Memorial Foundation event, “A Walk Among the Stars,” and have since become close friends. “We treat each other like blood sisters,” Smith said. Thomas said she was approached about being sponsored, and she agreed on one condition. “I made a proposition that if I did, I would bring along Maxine,” Thomas said. The FFD sponsors a person each year, and the person they sponsor gets to choose what they would like the funds to go toward,

Miller said. Thomas and Smith decided they wanted this year’s funds to be donated to St. Jude’s “A Walk Among the Stars” event, according to the FFD Pink Project website. As of Oct. 31, Miller said that the total amount raised during Pinktober was not definitive, but that it looked like FFD had raised just over $30,000 for the St. Jude’s event. Another way that FFD spreads awareness within the community is wrapping up its fire engine in bright pink material that is patterned with firehose ribbons to match the firefighters’ shirts. This is the third consecutive year that Fullerton residents were able to see this pink fire engine for the month of October. Miller said that the first year the FFD decided to do the pink engine, all the firefighters

contributed to help pay for it to get wrapped. But now, the Ebell Club of Fullerton has said they will donate funds to get the fire engine wrapped each year. There has been a positive response from Fullerton residents who see the engine. “Lots of honking, waving, smiles, people are taking pictures, want to hop on take a picture with it,” said Manny Adams, a probationary firefighter. The pink fire engine can be signed by anyone who has been affected by cancer to show their support to bring cancer awareness. Adams said that the pink fire engine represents the FFD’s support for cancer awareness. “It’s a rolling tribute to those people who are battling cancer now, who have beat cancer, (and) who may have cancer in the future,” Adams said.

Letter to the Editor FROM JOE GUZZARDI The presidential election may or may not be rigged. But what’s increasingly clear is that the federal courts system is setup to rule against American workers and in favor of foreign-born visa holders. A few weeks ago, a Washington D.C. district court judge ruled that giving work permits to about 180,000 H-4 visa holders didn’t adversely affect the labor market for American job seekers. The H-4 is issued to H-1B spouses, H-1B being an employment visa for companies to hire foreign workers, previously barred any type of employment, including volunteering. Save Jobs USA, a group of former Southern California Edison information technology workers, who were fired, brought the lawsuit in February 2015 and replaced by H-1B visa holders. In October, Orlando, Fla., another federal judge dismissed two lawsuits brought by former Walt Disney IT workers who alleged that the company conspired with outsourcing agencies, and before their termination, forced the outgoing workers to train their H-1B replacements. The Disney suits claimed that the defendants violated RICO (the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act). Under the H-1B provisions, employers must show that visa holders “will not adversely affect the working conditions” of existing employees and “will not displace any similarly

employed U.S. worker.” Displacing American workers with cheaper overseas labor is an increasingly common business model. Because of its high profile and positive public image, Disney’s firings made national headlines. But, dozens of similar cases at major corporations have unfolded through the years: Caterpillar, Abbott Labs and McDonald’s are among the most recent. Despite the H-1B visa’s restrictions, Disney and other corporations demanded that the Americans train their overseas replacements who were paid at a “much lower rate,” according to the lawsuits. A California Employment and Labor Law study confirmed that when employers replace older, experienced IT workers with younger employees, they save about $20,000 to $60,000 annually per employee. Disney chairman Robert Iger (net worth estimated at $100 million) is a co-chair with former New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (net worth $42.6 billion) and News Corporation’s Executive Chairman Rupert Murdoch (net worth $11.6 billion) in the Partnership for a New American Economy. This organization pushes for an immigration overhaul that would include an increase in H-1B visas. Iger, Bloomberg and Murdoch lobby for their globalist agenda by insisting that because of the immigrants’ alleged entrepreneurial skills, more immigration will provide a

solution for the stagnant U.S. economy. But Scott Shane, a Western Reserve University professor writing in Small Business Trends, noted that while the foreign-born share of the U.S. population more than doubled during the last 30 years, the rate of new business creation declined 35 percent during the same period. Shane concluded that, contrary to immigration advocates’ insistence, “a steep rise in immigration did not lead to a rise in entrepreneurial activity, or even offset the decline in new business creation that we have experienced.” The best solution to the Obama administration’s feeble economic growth–2.4 percent real gross domestic growth rate in 2015–is to end American corporations’ willingness, if not eagerness, to outsource their operations overseas and to unconscionably hire foreign workers for the increasingly fewer jobs they choose to keep in the U.S. Overhauling the H-1B visa regulations and penalizing outsourcing would require a Congress determined to protect American workers along with their jobs and goals that haven’t been priorities among legislators for decades From Joe Guzzardi, senior writing fellow at Californians for Population Stabilization (CAPS), a nonprofit organization based in Santa Barbara that works to educate about the impacts of overpopulation.

ARIES

(Mar. 21 - Apr. 19) You’re back in your own element today, but your enthusiasm could take you for a wild ride before you know it. It’s as if you’ve finally escaped from your cage and are so overjoyed that you’re ready for anything.

TAURUS

(Apr. 20 - May 20)

You might lose touch with your common sense today if you think you are invincible. Normally, you’re more cautious in your assessment of the future, but your fantasies have taken on a life of their own and may be indistinguishable from reality now.

GEMINI

(May 21 - Jul. 20)

You are torn between your ambitious plans and someone’s more cautious approach today. You are aware of the potential in an opportunity.

CANCER

(Sep. 23 - Oct. 22)

(Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

You are emotionally secure in your inner world today yet you’re eager to extend outward into new territory. Oddly, taking on a larger-than-life project isn’t intimidating now.

Unfortunately, you might encounter the straw that breaks the camel’s back if you continue to stack activities one on top of another today.

Continuing your methodical climb to the pinnacle of success becomes more complicated today because you might lose interest in your worldly goals.

LEO

(Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

(Jul. 23 - Aug. 22)

SCORPIO

You’re not so driven to be in the spotlight today, which blesses you with some much-needed privacy. You’re actually relieved if everyone’s eyes are not following your every move.

Not only does your confidence return today, it soars on the wings of your thoughts. However, you want to remain connected with the more profound issues that touch your heart now.

VIRGO

(Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

(Aug. 23 - Sep. 22) There’s a certain freedom associated with your inner journey now that the independent Sagittarius Moon is traveling through your 4th House of Home and Family.

SAGITTARIUS

Volleyball to take on first-place 49ers Titans look forward to rivalry despite 1-8 Big West record. BRYANT FREESE Daily Titan Ten new players on the Cal State Fullerton Volleyball roster will face off against first-place Long Beach State and its hostile crowd at Walter Pyramid for the first time this

season Tuesday. “Even though they’ve never played, everybody’s heard of Long Beach, that’s the historical program,” said Head Coach Ashley Preston. The Titans will look to end an eight-game losing streak, as the team has not won a game since playing UC Riverside on Sept. 24. Fullerton is tied with the Highlanders for last place in the Big West with a 1-8 conference record.

Sophomore transfer Madeline Schneider is looking forward to the Long Beach matchup and is hoping there is a celebrity in attendance at the Pyramid. “I’m super excited, I hope Drake will be there” Schneider said with a laugh. Recently, the star rapper showed up at the Long Beach game against Loyola Marymount on Sept. 8 to support his goddaughter, 49er Ashley Murray.

Murray has had a strong junior season, currently second on the 49er roster in total kills with 220 for the season. Fullerton will have its hands full with the challenge of also stopping the Big West leading hitter in Nele Barber, who has 359 kills on the season. Barber is third in the conference in kills per set with 4.03. Titan sophomore Shimen Fayad is also eager for the challenge against Long

Beach State. “I’m excited, I’ve played against big teams before. So I’m confident in myself,” Fayad said. Fayad and Schneider standout as the top offensive weapons for Fullerton. Fayad was top five in the Big West for most kills throughout the season before falling to seventh in the conference with 283, just three kills out of the top five. Schneider is second in hitting for the Titans with

258 kills. Long Beach State is tied for first with No. 14 Hawaii, boasting a 9-1 record in conference play. The 49ers hold the tiebreaker over Hawaii after winning the only matchup between the two thus far. The second meeting between the two Friday in Hawaii will likely decide the Big West champion. The match between Long Beach and Fullerton begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

stage surrounded by teammates and their balloon-bearing families and friends. Even former Fullerton great, and current Orlando City SC forward Christina Burkenroad appeared in support. Although the players made substantial contributions on gameday, the Titans will be remembered for their character away from the pitch as well. “(Diego) is a two-year captain for our program and her leadership and guidance

has played a major role in our program’s success,” said Head Coach Demian Brown in a statement read by the PA announcer. Brown’s statement lauded White for her hardworking attitude, while he praised Rizzotti’s composure. “(Rizzotti) is a tireless worker who has been used to solidify our backline and add to our attack. Tati is a great example of the confidence and motivation needed to compete at this level,” Brown said.

Among the four, Stuart’s star shined brightest on the field. Stuart is second in Titan history for most victories as a goalkeeper in a season (14 in 2015) and career wins (31). Stuart is also the reigning Big West Conference Goalkeeper of the year. “Her leadership, organization, and composure has helped lead our program the last three seasons,” Brown said in the statement. “Jenn has taken her spot as the next great keeper to

represent Fullerton.” After the opening ceremonies, their teammates paid homage to the seniors with their play on the field. Desperate to not let their teammate’s careers end without one more Big West tournament berth, freshman Savannah Sloniger saved a goal that would have won the game for Irvine while junior Sarah Fajnor scored the overtime goal that gave Fullerton the win. All four will get at least one more chance to

represent CSUF. The Titans face off in a rematch with UCI in the first game of the Big West tournament this Thursday. Meanwhile, the seniors’ younger teammates are cherishing all the time they can get with them. “I know for some of them it was the last time they were ever going to see the field, and they’ve become like my sisters,” Fajnor said. “I want to keep playing with them for as long as I can.”
