Disastrous IGNACIO CERVANTES Reporter
ignacio.cervantes8813@my.riohomn-
Following back-toback home runs by Anthony Rendon and Juan Soto in the eighth inning that tied the game for the Washington Nationals, Howie Kendrick’s tenth inning grand slam finished off the Los Angeles Dodgers Wednesday, Oct. 9 in Game 5 of the National League Division Series in a 7-3 Nationals victory. After hitting a batter and walking another, second-year starting pitcher Walker Buehler passed on a 3-1 lead with two outs in the seventh inning to Clayton Kershaw. The veteran pitcher went on to strikeout Adam Eaton to escape the jam. Three quick outs in the top of the eighth brought Kershaw back out to face Rendon who, after taking the first pitch for a ball, sent a drive to center field that went over for a home run. Suddenly, you can hear a mouse squeak at Dodgers Stadium as the nerves began to get the best of everyone at Chavez Ravine. Surely, Kershaw’s misery wouldn’t end there as the next batter, Soto, would
send the first pitch into deep right-center field to tie the game after just three pitches. Just like that, Kershaw’s night was over. Kenta Maeda came on to strikeout the side and it took extra innings for the Nationals to finish the comeback and earn a spot in the Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Kershaw’s numbers in the regular season are undeniably hall of fame numbers. His postseason stats though, not even close. A 2.33 earned run average in his career during the regular season is miles ahead of the 4.43 ERA Kershaw inflates into during October. It’s criticism the Dodgers pitcher knows he has to live with. “Everything people say is true right now about the postseason” Kershaw said postgame. “I understand that. Nothing I can do about it right now. It’s a terrible feeling. It really is. I’m not gonna hang my head. I’m gonna be here and continue to try to fight, continue to try to compete.” After a 103 game win season, the Los Angeles Dodgers will have to wait a year for another shot at its first World Series title since 1988.
“It’s one of those things you can’t script,” Roberts said after the game. “We made sure the guys understood how proud I was. How they competed all year long, they didn’t take a day off. You have to give credit to the Nationals and the way they played. Obviously, very disappointed is an understatement. But it’s just one of those things – we got beat – I’m disappointed for everyone.”

Women’s Volleyball: Roadrunners Claw the Hawks SAMUEL GARCIA News Editor
samuel.garcia8465@my.riohomndo.edu
Friday, October 9, a volleyball match between Rio Hondo Roadrunners and the Seahawks of Harbor College took place. The first half couldn’t have gone better for Rio. They completely dominated the first set, building an impressive 10-1 lead, which lead to a 16-4 lead. The Lady Roadrunners went on to win the first set 25-11, which is the sixth time this season that they’ve held an opponent under 12 points in a single set.
Rio continued their dominant play into the second set. The Seahawks took a 5-2 lead, but the Lady Roadrunners overcame the deficit and took the lead thanks to the offense scoring four unanswered kills. After that, they never looked back, as they held onto the lead for the remainder of the set, eventually winning 25-18. At this point,it seemed like it would be a comfortable match for Rio Hondo, but LA Harbor had other plans.
lead changes. After the dust settled, LA came out on top with a 9-6 lead. From then on, it was neck and neck, with neither team really having an advantage. That’s when the unthinkable happened. After LA amassed a 15-13 lead, they went on to score seven unanswered points. The next three relays of the set played out like so: Rio spiked into the net, spiked the ball out of bounds, and scored a kill. A botched dig by Rio sealed the deal with LA winning 25-18.
The third set started with a back and forth tussle, which resulted in two
The fourth set could not have gone worse for the Lady Roadrunners. You could
feel the momentum shift to LA’s favor as they took a commanding 14-4 lead. But this was no time to hit the panic button, as Rio clawed their way back and tied the set at 16. Four lead changes later and we were tied at 22. After a LA spike zipped out of bounds, Rio scored a kill on the next relay, leading 24-22, needing only one more point to win the match. Sophomore Katherina O’Brien delivered the game-winning spike, which bounced off a LA defender and fell out of bounds. To go along with the game-winning spike, O’Brien
totaled eight kills, tied for third for most on the team. Freshman Alina Velo led the team with 11 kills, and sophomore Nicole Vasquez compiled five service aces. This is Rio’s first home win since September 11, when they beat San Diego City College 3-1. The win improves Rio’s record to 8-6 in the season and 2-3 within their conference. They will be on the road for their next two matches when take on the Mounties of Mt. San Antonio College October 11 and then battle the Falcons of Cerritos College October 16.

Son of Forgotten World War II Hero Shares Father’s Story with the World
JAIME APARICIO / EPM Michael Lella, son of the war hero Peno Lella, travels from place to place to help spread the word about his father’s heroics to which some refer to as “The Forgotten Front.” Lella describes his father’s trauma as having a very negative effect on his mind with certain dimentia setting in, but fortunately, is still living to this day in his homeland of Italy. JAIME APARICIO Reporter

When it comes to stories told throughout history, it is possible for important details of events to be forgot-
ten if not properly documented. There’s also the chance of figures who lie behind the curtain who will make sure such stories or details to never see the light of day ever again by elimating people or important documents. Such
an event that may not be so well-known to the public is the story of Peno Lella, an Italian teenager who was forced into the war between the Nazis and the allies during World War II. To help spread word
of such an individual is the son of the hero himself, Michael Lella. Lella made an appearance at the Whittier Branch Library October 10 to promote the novel Beneath A Scarlet Sky to which was inspired by his father’s life during the war. The story of the novel revolves around Lella Sr. as he is thrusted into joining the Nazis and is assigned to be the driver of General Hans Leyers, who was also known to be Adolf Hitler’s left-hand in command. While under serving the Nazis, Lella Sr.’s position gains the attention of the allies and is eventually given the title of a spy to relay information back and help them avoid any possible ambush or attacks from the Nazis. Even before joining the fight, Lella Sr. first began his heroics by helping an underground railroad navigating Jews over the Alps to safety. All in a course of a year, Lella Sr. helped save hundreds of Jews from being transported to concentration camps and their eventual death. Howerver, it was Lella Sr.’s spying for the allies that earned him the nickname “the observer” and thus feeding information to help turn the tide of the war. But because the
novel is historical-fiction, the events that transpire within the story are inspired by true events. Author Mark Sullivan had to create original dialogue in order to help tell the story with about “90 percent [being] true,” says Lella. Lella then goes on to describe his father’s time after the war saying, “the experience continues to haunt him to this day.” And although he continues to spread word about his father and American soldiers saving Italy from Nazis, Lella believes that the events that transpired in the past are still not widely known and therefore called “the forgotten front.” Lella’s father is still alive and living in his homeland of Italy at the age of 93 and is aware that his actions during the war have gained the attention of Columbia Pictures to adapt the story with actor Tom Holland playing the title role of Pino. Pascal Productions will help produce the adaptation and will develop it into a six-episode mini series that should be released within the next three years or so. Beneath A Scarlet Sky is available now through all Amazon outlets.
Director of Original Evil Dead Says Another Is On The Way JAIME APARICIO Reporter
jaime.aparicio2474@my.riohondo.edu
Fans of the original Evil Dead franchise rejoice. Sam Raimi, who directed the original 1981 film, says that another installment in the famed horror series is on the way. During a Q and A panel for the horror film The Grudge held at this year’s New York Comic-Con, Raimi gave the audience a very brief but reassuring answer as to what is to become of The Evil Dead franchise. When speaking to the audience, Raimi simply said, “There’s more Evil Dead coming.” Although the franchise has spawned two sequels, Evil Dead 2 (1987) and Army of Darkness (1992), the new planned installment will unfortunately continue on without actor Bruce Campbell. Campbell, who
has portrayed Ash Williams, the main protagonist in all three original films as well as the fan-favorite series Ash vs The Evil Dead, will again not be staring in the new film but is said to be involved as a producer on the project. Ash vs The Evil Dead, which only aired for three seasons before being cancelled with a dramatic cliffhanger, left fans clamoring for more,wondering if the franchise would ever continue. Another hiccup that seems to be in the minds of fans of the franchise is the 2013 Evil Dead remake directed by Fede Alvarez, as well as produced by both Raimi and Campbell. The remake starred Jane Levy as the protagonist Mia who potentially served as the new main character to help carry on the franchise to new lengths. With no news surfacing as to whether or not the continuity of the remake
will continue anytime soon, Levy herself provided a coy answer in one of her “Ask Me Anything” sessions on her Instagram account last year. When asked if she would ever be in Evil Dead 2, the sequel to the remake, she responded by saying, “I’d be interested. It’s funny, with the Evil Dead creators – nobody can rile a crowd like they do. They really know how to keep that hype going. I have an Instagram, and did one of those ‘ask me anything’s’ and literally every question asked was ‘Will you do Evil Dead 2’ but it’s good because people really like it.” No word yet as to when pre-production will begin or if Raimi will indeed come back as director or help produce the film. But one thing’s for sure, fans of the franchise eagerly wait for any news concerning deadites and the heroes that will battle them for the fate of the world.

Many outfit changes and various alternating stage lighting were used to fit the mood of the dance. Audience members were informed that Works In Progress gives dancers a choice to showcase their work and bring their talent on stage instead of keeping it in class. as well as gaining experience in the art of performing. “[This] is an opportunity for a dance class to actually perform on stage,” McDowell said. “So some of these dancers have never been on stage and they get a choice to bring the choreography they’re working so hard in class, onto the stage and
perform it...[for] you.” This dance concert allowed dancers to prepare themselves for future competitions and other concerts. It also allowed room for faculty to create something new and bring it to the stage. The concert brought extreme attention to the dance program, encouraging students who are interested to join. “We encourage anybody interested in becoming a member of Rio Hondo Dance Collective to actually enroll in that course,” McDowell told the audience. Throughout the night each performance introduced elements of creativity, where a student-dancer was able to express themselves through the art of dancing and faculty being able to experiment this semester with new students and accomplishing something different from previous works.

Whittier Celebrates Local Aerospace Veterans with ‘Moon Landing: Inside Stories of Apollo 11’ JESUS MANRIQUEZ Sports Editor
jesus.manriquez9661@my.riohondo.edu
It has been 50 years since one of humanity’s biggest, most dangerous accomplishments. The event that united the world for at least a moment, landing a man on the moon’s surface. Whenever we hear about the moon landing, we usually think of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins or Edwin Aldrin. What many of us do not realize is just how many people took part in this great achievement. On October 13, the Whittwood Branch Library, with the help of the Library Foundation and the Whittier Astronomical Foundation, hosted the “Moon Landing: Inside Stories of Apollo 11,” where seven local veterans of the aerospace industry got to share their experiences and contributions to the Apollo 11 mission. Jake Alarid, Gerald Blackburn, Albert Escovedo Montez, Eugene Noller, William Oliver, John Perez, and David Whitesel were recognized by Mayor Joe Vinatieri for their work on the moon landing. From research and developing the Apollo capsule, to inspections and making sure the astronauts were safe throughout their journey. The group of panelists began by sharing their contributions to the project and what they thought made the Apollo 11 mission successful. “We had hope, commitment and most importantly teamwork,’’ said Blackburn. “We

All seven gentlemen mentioned how many more people took part in the project. Not only staff members, but also the many family members and friends who supported them every step of the way. As the night went on, the panel began to talk about
what it was like to live and work in Whittier and Downey. Some of the men had the privilege to work for Rockwell International in Downey where the command and service module (CSM) for the Apollo program was designed and constructed. The module carried a crew of astronauts and the second Apollo spacecraft, the “lunar module,” to lunar orbit, and brought the astronauts back to Earth. “There were about 30,000 people working in an area the size of Disneyland. It was like a city within a city,” said Oliver. From funny incidents in the cleanroom to making
experiments to capture Armstrong’s first footsteps on the moon’s surface, the veterans shared unique stories during their time in the program. For these gentlemen, working long hours in an overpopulated area was no trouble at all. It was a magical time, and they expressed how exciting it was to go to work every morning. It has been 50 years since Armstrong and Collins set foot on the moon, but the stories from those who took part in the program continue to amaze us. While their hard work and commitment were important for the Apollo mission, it was their dare to dream that was the backbone
of the moon landing. For Blackburn, the biggest advice he can pass on to others is to learn how to dream.
“The future belongs to the younger generation, they will take us back to the moon and even Mars if they want to go. Education is important, nothing will happen without it, but there’s something more important. The future lies in teaching our children how to dream.”

The Whittier Art Gallery hosted the “Touch of Nature” exhibit. There was a variation of different art, such as photography, cartoon drawings, handmade sculptures, and abstract art. Photographer Keiko Yamasaki displayed a variety of photos of Kamikochi, Japan, in addition to some of Joshua Tree National Park. Yamasaki majored in Applied Mathematics/Scientific Programming and worked
as a Software Engineer until she retired in 2012. She took on photography at Palomar college her favorite type was Landscape. She regularly visits Joshua Tree National Park and Chubu Sangaku National Park in Japan. The photos of Kamikochi show the different sides of beauty. Yamasaki was able to photograph the same landscapes but also make them look completely different. Yamasaki snapped a photo titled “Glimpse of Infinity,” it was a picture of the Milky Way Galaxy that keeps one staring in wonder..
Charise Guzman
shows off her pictures of Joshua Tree National Park and Malibu, California. She is a designer with a Bachelor of Architecture from USC. She has helped design houses and condos, art galleries, museums, schools, and hospitals. Guzman also has a passion and dabbles in shodo, which is Japanese calligraphy. Her favorite type of photography is Landscape and she experiments with long exposure seascapes shots. One of her photos on display was of the Malibu Boardwalk with the sea reflecting the lights in the water with seemed
like an orange filter over it. It gave a feeling of calmness, but at the same time gave off a mysterious vibe, like the calm before the storm. The shot was truly a mesmerizing photo. A few sculptures were also on display by dollmaker Kimiko Koyanagi. She is a third-generation dollmaker from the renowned Muraoka doll-making family of Tokyo. Koyanagi has been utilizing the gofun technique with also infusing her own bold identity into the sculptures. Per Koyanagi the history of the figurine held a sense of secu-
rity, comfort and pure human emotion. She still tries to keep that history alive in her art by the emotional idea of the doll being an expression of the heart. The sculptures evoke a sadness that the dolls give off. With the way the dolls stand tall and seemingly flawless look also gives you a contradictory feeling of profound hope. There is also a dreamy feeling the figures have that confidently depicts the feminine expressions the doll has. Each doll shows a glimpse into the character and heart of the artist

Parents of Teens Killed in Car Crash Sue Tesla SAMUEL GARCIA News Editor
samuel.garcia8465@my.riohondo.edu
The family of Barrett Riley, the 18-year-old killed - alongside his friend, Edgar Monserratt Martinez - driving a Tesla in May of 2018, is suing Tesla for their son’s death. The civil lawsuit was filed Tuesday by James Riley, Barrett Riley’s father, in California’s Santa Clara County, where Tesla is based. Two months prior to the crash, Barrett Riley received a speeding ticket for driving 112 miles per hour in a 50 mph zone. After the ticket, Riley’s parents took the car in and had Tesla install a speed limiter to cap the car’s speed at 85 mph. According to the lawsuit, the speed limiter was removed after the vehicle was taken in for service at Tesla’s Dania Beach location. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that Riley was driving the vehicle 112 mph in a 50-mph zone prior to losing control. He flew through the 1300 block of Fort Lauderdale’s Seabreeze Boulevard, a 30 mph zone. Monserratt was sitting in the passenger’s seat while another friend, Alexan-

Barrett Riley lost control of the Tesla, which smacked the wall in front of a home twice, burst into flames and crashed into a light pole across the street. Berry was thrown from his
seat, but survived the impact and was hospitalized. Riley and Monserratt died 16 days before their graduation from Fort Lauderdale’s Pine Crest School. “The car never should’ve been able to go that
fast,” said attorney Curtis Miner of Miami’s Colson Hicks Eidson. “After Barrett got a speeding ticket, James Riley asked Tesla to put on a speed limiter. Tesla took it off without telling the parents. If the parents had known it was off, they never would’ve let
him drive the car.” The autopsy on Barrett Riley stated that he “had no broken bones, no injuries to his head, and no injuries to his body other than the fatal burns. Barrett Riley died inside the 2014 Model S due to the runaway battery fire.”

As the chase ensued, the suspect “produced a handgun and an officer-involved shooting occurred.” The man was shot by police and later died at the scene. No other injuries were reported. “The suspect’s

Tuesday, October 8, a Montebello man was convicted of 12 felony counts in connection to a 2012 cold case involving the kidnapping and raping of a six year-old girl in Santa Ana. Charges against 45 year-old Francisco Javier Lopez include one count of kidnapping to commit a sex offense, three counts of sexual pentetration of a child under 11 and five counts of a forcible, lewd, and lascivious act with a child under 14, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. He was also charged with four “sentencing enhancements of causing bodily injury to a child under 14 and aggravated kidnapping,” said the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
The incident took place July 15, 2012. The victim was playing with her friend in front of her apartment when Lopez forced her into his car. He drove the girl to a parking lot, sexaully assaulted her, drove her back to where he abducted her, and released her. Days after the assault, Santa Ana police released a sketch of the suspect and described him as having a thin to medium build, with a thin mustache and short, spiked hair. If he’s convicted on all charges, Lopez faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. Lopez is scheduled to appear in court October 25, and is currently being held without bail in Theo Lacy jail complex in the city of Orange.
